C.S.M.C. The Catholic Students Mission Crusade has the spiritual and material support of the missions as its main purpose. This club has done a wonder- ful job toward this aim. AUGUSTINIAN SEMINARY CHOIR Year after year the task of forging a trained Seminary choir from an eager group of voices falls to Father McIntyre. Those voices untutored in September soon mastered the plaintive Gregorian Chant and the chapel re- sounded with ardent voices. 4-0

DAY STUDENTS' CL B The Day Students' Club is comprised of all the day students of the Augustinian Academy. The primary purpose of this club is to unite the day students and to promote better understanding among them. Although this is the main day student group, from it branch out many other clubs and societies. First comes the Student Council, the judiciary and stu- dent representative function of the club. Next is the Sanctuary Society, a group formed with the purpose of fostering religious devotion among the day students, and of sponsoring the religious exercises in which they take part. Also we have the boys who bring themselves together in a body on First Fri- day to receive Holy Communion. This group, the First Friday Club, is one of the most active organizations of the school. It is readily seen that the aim of the Club has been realized this year more than any other year, and that the Club was a success in every sense of the word. 39

A., has shown its interest and genuine spirit by financing a program of improvements for the Academy. The Guild has donated many things in past years, notably, the refinish- ing of the kitchen, the renovation of the Academy reception room, and the re- guilding of the altar furnishings. To finance these benefactions, the Guild has held many social events. It would be impossible to relate the many services which the Guild has done for our Academy. Through their untiring efforts and fine cooperation, they have aided greatly in making the Academy the fine, modern institution it now is. We, the senior class, join with a sincere THANK YOU.
