ORGANIZATIONS... Cathedral High Sch x l was exceptionally active in extra-curricular activites this year. The Cen¬ tral Committee was formed, and had charge of all of the spiritual activities in the school. The Glee Club was formed this year by Bro. Michael Brangan, composed of stu¬ dents from all classes. It was used as the chorus in the Senior Minstrel. Those participating in the minstrel made up a small dramatic club. The Band presented two concerts un¬ der the leadership of Prof. Miller. At the second concert they made their appearance in their flashy new uniforms. The Debate Squad owes much of its public speaking success to Bro. Robert Wagner, as do also the participants in the Annual Oratory and Elocution contests. The students were constantly kept informed of the school activities by the publishing staff of the Crusader. This paper rose to new heights through the mod¬ erator, Bro. Michael. The Lettermen s Club which was organized in the second semester showed great activity and loyalty to the school by their efforts to pay for the new baseball uniforms. Another organization which highly demands the gratitude and praise of all is the Mothers Club, whose active members made possible the Prom and the new Band uniforms. All these activities are carried on with the hearty encouragement )f Monsignor Mueller, who wishes to give his boys the same ad¬ vantages had by students in larger institutions. The activities, although numerous, are so run as never to permit our losing sight of our special aim as Crusaders—the salvation of our own souls and that of others. They are thereby preparing us to be¬ come better Catholics and necessarily better citizens of our community. Page Eighteen

The chorus was formed by the Glee Club under the capable direction of Brother Michael Brangan. The success of the program was due largely to the untiring efforts of these two faculty members.
