Council Presidential Race Begins Juniors Elect Officers: MOUNTAIN ECHO Five Retain Positions Mountain Echo Stajf Elected; Andrews, Werner Co-Editors ae Harry McPartland Reelected oe President For Third Term FRO KILQULLEM GUEST AT JUNIOR BREAKFAST Adeiph: Society Picnic Blans To Hold Electiens FOURTEEN KNIGHTS AWARDED DEGREES Mountain Echo As former faculty adviser George Weldon once taught, a good news story will always include WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW. So here goes. The students of Mount St. Mary’s College through the efforts of those journalistically inclined published the Mountain Echo in the New Chem Lab each month of the academic year in order to keep students, faculty, and alumni well informed concerning the affairs of the Mount and Mount- men. But no newspaper is complete without a bit of editorial- izing. During the ’51-’52 year the production of approxi- mately 3,000 copies each issue rested in the hands of Jack — Andrews and “Hoot”? Werner, two outstanding members of the class of 1952. Their ability and efforts during their first three years earned them this position. Father Cogan guided them in a manner equal to that of his predecessor, Father Kline. The editors directed a staff supported by other experienced seniors. To those students unfamiliar with the art of publication, a night spent at the Echo office would prove to be enlight- ening and would contribute greatly to their appreciation of the finished product. Between the editorial meeting at which the contents of the coming issue were determined to the mailing of the last paper, it took the combined efforts of the various staffs to bring you the Echo which you leisurely read in the comfort of your room.

Rev. John C. Gordon, Chaplain and a Sunday Communion scene. National Federation of Catholic College Students Sponsoring Lenten lectures by priest-faculty members, conducting clothing drives for the poor, promoting daily rosaries, teaching Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes, encouraging bowed heads at Angelus time—all these projects were within the scope of N.F.C.C.S. organization at the Mount, one link in a chain uniting Catholic college students all over the country. With brief interruption, Mount St. Mary’s was an active member of the largest organized body of Catholic students in the country since the National Federation of Catholic College Students was founded in 1938. Jerry Green of our own class served as Senior Delegate to the regional con- gress during 1950-51, preceding Charlie Evans, 53. Holy Name Society In answer to Father Gordon’s plea 300 Mount men pledged themselves on the last Sunday of October, 1951, to the objectives of the Holy Name Society: “‘to honor the name of God and of Jesus Christ by the example of a sen- sible religious life; to spread and increase love for the sacred name of Jesus Christ; to suppress blasphemy, pro- fane, and indecent language; to prevent false oaths in and out of the courts; and to impart to Christian men courage in the profession of their faith.” Since that time the spiritual well being of the Mount was uplifted by the students’ attempts to live up to the aims of the organization and their reception of Holy Communion on Holy Name Sunday, the second Sunday of each month. The Society, reintroduced to the campus by our Chap- lain, is the greatest and one of the oldest confraternities in the Church. Its beginnings can be traced back to St. Dominic who lived in the thirteenth century, one rank with heresy and blasphemy. — Orricers: Erv Straw, alternate delegate; Charles Evans, senior delegate; Rev. Robert R. Kline, moderator; Mark Doran, junior delegate; Joseph Holland. 40
