Page Sixteen THE ZEPHYR STUDENTS' SPIRITUAL COUNCIL Aetiwfities HE week following the visit of Reverend D. A. Lord, S. J., found the en' thusiasm and contagious spirit of the well known author and student club organizer, passed on to all the students at school. Consequently a Students' Spiritual Council, consisting of the present officers of the standing high school clubs was organized. Each of these seven leaders became, ex officio, a chairman of a separ- ate division of activity, called a subordinate committee. They are as follows: Eucharf istic, Our Lady's Mission, Publicity, Social, Program and Menibership, and the Firef brand. Most of these suggest their own purposes. Our Lady's Date Book became quite an attraction, especially during May. The Eucharistic Chart has acquainted us with our spiritual standing in no small degree. The Firebrand club handles sales, etc. A splendid handfmade cedar bulletin board for spiritual advertising was pref sented to the school by a friend, and has become a great center of attraction. Here are seen clippings and pictures from many Catholic papersg also pictures taken at school. An art picture, changed frequently, tells of the various ecclesiastical feasts and seasons, while our weekly motto also lends an attractive note, Thus our F. O. S. A. activities have become centralized and every member of the high school is given a definite charge, thus stimulating enthusiasm by personal responsibilityg--the great cry of young America. TRIBUTE PAID TO COLONEL LINDBERGH Wednesday afternoon, September twentyffirst, all Seattle turned out to pay tribute to Colonel Lindbergh, the Lone Eagle of the Atlantic. A half holiday was proclaimed for all the schools that the children might assemble either at Volunteer Park or the University Stadium for a close up glimpse of the great hero of Avia' tion. It proved to be a thrill that will never be forgotten.

THE ZEPHYR Page Fifteen CLUB BREAKFAST On the feast of our loved club patroness, Saint Agnes of Multipulciano, The Mass of the Angels was sung by the Rosarians. All the Agnetians received Holy Communion in a body and later were at breakfast together in the hall, which was prettily arranged for them. The event was of special interest to everyone this year, for at the club breakfast the scholastic honors of the senior class were made known to those present by Father Aquinas McDonnell, O. P. Lois Richards was announced, Valedictorian and the Salutatorian is Elvera Nelson. In the afternoon, an hour of dancing was enjoyed by all the members of the F. O. S. A. JUNIOR' SENIOR BANQUET The JuniorfSenior banquet of May sixteenth was the loveliest affair in the history of the school. The hall was gorgeously festooned in the Senior class colors-orchid and silver. Baskets and standards of huckleberry and snowballs were unsymmetrically beautiful in every available position. In the center of each table, were dainty low crystal vases of lavender aenemone and columbine, smothered in frail maidenhair fern and enhanced with silver berries. Directly above the charmingly appointed banquet table, was an immense silver il' lumination of light. A full five-course dinner was served by the second year girls. Miss Helen McGregor was toastmistress. Toasts were given by Pauline Fagan, Kathryn Towey, Catherine Yambra, Lois Richards, Claire Calhoun, and Elvera Nelson. Dancing fol- lowed the dinner for an hour or so. Truly, the event will always be an outstanding one in the school day associaf tions of each guest.

THE ZEPHYR Page Seventeen ROSARY SUNDAY The first Sunday of October, Rosary Sunday, Dominican day of days, was as usual in Seattle, very beautiful. Solemn high Mass was sung at twelve o'clock and an eloquent panegyric on the Rosary was delivered by Father Aquinas McDonnell, O. P. Immediately after Mass, the students walked in a Procession of the living Rosary, followed by the congregation and the clergy, all chanting the Rosary. Out through the dignified entrance of our beautiful church the procession passed and around the block of the church and school, thence back for Benediction-truly a loving public act of praise to our Lady Queen. LECTURE ON BIRDS OF THE NORTHWEST Among the most delightful events of the year, may be mentioned the lecture by Mr. E. Lumley, the celebrated authority on bird lore. Mr. Lumley has spent many years studying the birds of the Northwest, particularly of Washington, and his bird calls were perfect imitations of the songs and whistles of our feathery friends of wood and home. The hirdfmaster drew illustrations with colored chalk of various birds, and their favorite haunts. THE ANNUAL RETREAT The students were very privileged in having Reverend Father M. S. Bohan, O. P. from Portland, for this year's retreat master. The retreat opened on Wednesday morning, November twentyfthird, and closed with the nine o'clock Mass on the follow' ing Saturday. Three days were spent in silence, prayer, and meditation. Father Bohan's conferences furnished excellent food for thought, for his words went straight to the heart. He spoke simply and practically. TO HONOR MARY IMMACULATE The impressive little ceremony for the feast of the Immoculate Conception must have been especially pleasing to our Blessed Lady. On that day her altar was beautif fully enshrined in pretty flowers and greens. The procession of her children proceed' ed from school to Church. At decade intervals of the chanted Rosary, each class sang a special hymn. Lois Richards, president of the Rosarians, read the act of conf secration to our Blessed Mother. A touching part of this yearly tribute to Mary, is the depositing at her feet of letters containing petitions to our dear mother in Heavf en. Surely Mary Immaculate could not but heed most of the favors so confidentially entrusted to her. Father Aquinas McDonnell, O. P., concluded the ceremony with a conference on Our Lady and Benediction. FILM PLAYS On February third, by special arrangement, the students attended the beautiful screen version of the public life of our Savior, entitled The King of Kings at the Metropolitan theatre. Truly the impression made, could never be effaced from the minds and hearts of each one, and a more vivid realization was obtained of the beauty of the personality of Christ. Fabiola, that sweet story by Cardinal Wiseman, of the love of the early Christians for our Redeemer, was shown on the silver screen in our parochial hall on March twenty-sixth.
