The primary purpose of the Day Students' Club, comprised of all the day students of the Academy, is to promote a better understanding among them. This has been accomplished by the formation of various intramural clubs and societies. Of these, the Student Council was the most prominent in making progress toward closer student-administration cooperation. The day students attend Mass and receive Holy Communion each Friday, Benediction weekly, and recite daily prayers to our Lady of Good Counsel. Such pious practices are largely the. result of the endeavors of both the First Friday Club and Sanctuary Society. Further religious activities include the annual three day Lenten Retreat, led by an Augustinian missionary. Day students of the past have left our ranks to become exemplary citizens of societyg its present members should prove further worthy additions to to- morrow's world. '47 4....l

C.S.M.C. Under the capable direction of our moderator, Rev. W. James Walsh, O. S. A., we, the members of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade, have hada prosperous and profitable year. The main purpose ofthe society is to help the missions by our spiritual and material support, and to instill into the students adeep knowledge and enthusiasm for the foreign missions. This year we were given a talk by Rev. Lawrence J. Cahill on the difficulties of the missionaries,and the urgent need to have more laborers in Christ's vine- yard. Representative members of the C. S. M. C. also attended the high school rally held at Cardinal Hayes High School to further the interests of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. We lent our support to the missions both by our prayers and by our monetary contributions. In order to help the Augustinian missionaries in Japan, Africa, and South America,we have been active in collecting stamps for the Augustinian stamp drive. We hope that future members of the C. S. M. C. will emulate our missionary zeal. 48
