AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSEMBLIES Ffmgwsfq URING the past school year, certain students of Cathedral College, ttslillcirlf' C1 bth' dh' fhrtfivi' I. 37,7 spurre on y e interest an ent usiasrn o t e ec or, onsignor McHugh, pleasantly entertained the entire student body. This forg- ,, , flffgjj ing ahead was especially shown by the enormous interest in extra school activities. Never before in the history of Cathedral have the assemblies been so well received and enjoyed. Especially is it true this year since the Rector has seen fit to increase the number of assemblies. In former years there were few UCOMITII-XE with long intervals between each. The student body did not look forward too much to these gatherings because the latter consisted mainly of talks by men of mis- sionary societies or the Tablet, Due to the fact that students were able to display their talent by putting on their own radio plays and recitations for fellow comrades, the eagerness and interest of each Cathedralite were buoyed up. The first assembly of the year was held to enlighten new students and remind the old of the various societies and sports of the school. A few weeks later, Monsignor Boardman, director of the Propagation of the Faith in Brooklyn, gave an inspiring talk and showed a movie about the leper priest, Father Damien. During a science assembly period on November 26, Father Denning enter- tained and at the same time taught the student body wonders and facts of electricity. Instead of a single annual symposium, the Saint Thomas More Literary Society presented two this year. The Society held its first period on February 4, on which day the topic was, The Bill of Rights. The Chairman, Ieremiah O'Brien, presented the speakers, Messrs. Cronin, Bevilacqua, Elbert, and Murphy, who effectively took up the issues. The second symposium had an entirely different scope which was the Educational Values of the School Curricula. Messrs. Callahan, Osborn, Labita, and Gradilone proved how essen- tial certain subjects were for the priesthood. Two assemblies could undoubtedly be cast among the best. Under the competent direction and supervision of some high school seniors, two mock radio broadcasts were presented. The students, as it were,- tuned in on a national hookup and enjoyed the radio plays, one, an adaptation of a story by Francis Marion Thompson, and, the second, the life of Father Gerard Donovan, Mary- knoll martyr. To further the interest of the Maryknoll Missions, the Rector in- vited Father Keller, M.M., who gave an inspiring and interesting talk. With all the enthusiasm and cooperation manifested in the student body, most likely many interesting and enjoyable afternoons are going to be spent in future years. DOMINIC T.
