llere extra interests develop . . . ST. NORBERT SOCIETY IIOUR years ago the religious groups in school hanned together forming the St. Norhert Society. The Society took as its patron St. Norbert whose love for lvlary and the Holy Eucharist led him to found an order of religious to carry out his devotion. ln past years there were two groups in the society, a Freshman Hall section and a Mztiii Hall section. This year Dennis Scully, president, called hifweekly meetings in Main Hall at which hoth the freshmen and upperclassmen were present. At the meetings papers were read and topics of a religious nature were discussed. An occasional guest speaker added much interest in particular suh-jects. The Question Box, a new feature of the society introduced hy Father Wielaer, was so interesting that often the meetings lasted longer than usual. The hoys acquainted themselves with things close to the ideals of their patron hy preparing the altar in the chapel for student Masses and serving at the altar for all serviccs. The older memhers of the society undertook a new activity this year in the form of catechetical work. They helped to prepare young hoys at the Madonna House near school for the reception of First Holy Communion. M. BAUMEN. fGroupl-Seated: S. Gilmore, G. Boyle, Dough- Mastrogiovanni, K.
