b The first, issue of the Brown and Gold in this, my last year at school. »m Row— Walsh. Fc The Brown and Gold. The Brown and Gold has experienced quite a successful period during this year ' s scholastic term. It has maintained its position as official organ of school life and of school progress, and has carried on the traditions and precedents of past years in its policies. The first semester saw Mr. Vincent Dwyer assuming the editorship, a capacity which he filled with competency and earnestness. However, due to press of work and the weighty hurden of a senior thesis, Mr. Dwyer found it more compatible to his interests to tender his resignation at the beginning of the second semester. Mr. Vincent Giacomini followed him as head of the editorial staff, choosing practically the same personnel that assisted Mr. Dwyer, and carrying on much of the same policy. Messrs. Richard McNamara, Alec Keller, Joseph Walsh, Walter Kranz. Francis Forsyth and Frank Sullivan assisted as associate editors and contributed much of their time and talent toward making the news in the paper interesting and campus- spirited. Mr. Bert Sender, the aggressive advertising manager, through his diligent work has made this past year the most successful financially that the paper has en- joyed since its inception. Mr. Louis Weber, as manager of circulation, contributed greatly to the efficiency and hilarity of the editorial staff, and most capably filled his position. Inasmuch as the Brown and Gold was not affiliated with any of the English classes this year, it has depended mainly upon cooperation with interested members of the student body. A large staff of student reporters has aided a great deal in sup- porting and making the publication of the paper bi-monthly a possibility. P ■4 1 fc.

First sodality meeting. My fourth and last year as a sodalist and have nei er regretted it. )o( n o»OCl»Ilty. An innovation in soladity organization was introduced at Regis this year in that the sodalists were divided into two groups, the Senior and the Fresh- man Sodalities. The former was an organization of voluntary membership while the latter was compulsory. At the ever-new, yet traditionally old, ceremony of ini- tiation, those members of the Freshman Sodality that had secured the approval of the consultors were admitted to the senior group on April 29. The sodality has been quite active this year. It held several activity meetings, student discussions, sponsored a spaghetti dinner and of course climaxed their en- deavors with the May Crowning. The daily services at the shrine during the month of May were under sodality supervision. At the beginning of the second semester a new group of officers was elected. Vincent Giacomini was chosen first prefect, and Andrew Hauk. second. The other officers are: Milan Predovich, Bert Sender. John Harris, Felix Lepore, Louis Weber, Emmet Kilker, and Jim O ' Hern. Regis Mission Society. The Regis Mission Society is a unit of the C.S.M.C., and is composed of students who have special interest in Mission work. The purpose of the society is to assist the Missionary in spreading the Church among Pagans, and to increase the Apostolic zeal of the students by impressing them with the important obligation they have of helping the Missions by their Spiritual and financial generosity. Active interest in the Mission Society is stimulated by maintaining board: by adopting a special Mission, by cooperation with the Sodality ii matters, and by arranging talks to the student body by active Missionaries. bulletin piritual m 9 h

Began my last year as a student Master of the Mace and Mitre. P Tup Row— Hai i-is, Hasting, Hauk. Milan . Dodge, J. Cass Cassidy, Schm tz (Quill Master), McGraw Giacomini, Beck The Mace and Mitre. This organization has the distinction of being the oldest on the campus. Started originally as a study club by Father Kelly, a past president of Regis, it was later reorganized as a club of Catholic action and Catholic leadership by Father Morrison. It was felt that the classroom, while it aids greatly, cannot of itself instill in sufficient measure that great love and appreciation of the Catholic faith that is essential for a Catholic leader. This society is an attempt to supply this deficiency. Its membership is limited to twelve. Each year new men are elected to member- ship in the society in order to take the place of those graduating. The qualifications for membership are interest, ability, scholarship, and congeniality. Membership is limited to upper classmen. The only social functions that the society sponsors are banquets at which the ritual of recognition is held for the benefit of the new members. Usually a promi- nent Catholic layman addresses the Masters of the Mace and Mitre on this occasion. Weekly meetings are held in the Mace and Mitre room of Carroll Hall. Each meeting is given over to one of the Masters, who renders a paper on some subject intended to further the ideals of the society. The members are asked to make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament every day, and on the Feast of Christ the King, all the graduate and under-graduate Masters re- ceive Communion in a body.
