May they whom she has seen fit to honor ever prove faithful to C. C. H. and to their teachers! Your Alma, Mater wishes you, dear Honor Students, success. May Gocl's blessing accompany in richest measure all your undertakings. Go forth and sound the praises of your school not in word alone hut in each and every action of your lives! -ADELBERT SOLHEID '28. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN

CATHOLIC CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION On the evening of May 27th. 1927, a new organization in connection with the Catholic Central High School came into existence, when twenty-seven graduates n'et in the Library and enrolled themselves as Charter Members of the Catho- lic Central High School Alumni Association. The objects of this assembly are to promote the educational and social in- terests of their Alma Mater, to encourage a love for Catholic education, and to stimulate and preserve the bonds of friendship established during their school days. The society has been placed under the patronage of the Holy Family, as the pupils come from the three parishes of the city, which are dedicated to the Bless- ed Virgin, to the Sacred Heart, and to St. Joseph. The members compose two groups ,the honorary and the active. The hon- orary members are the Reverend Superintendent and the Pastors of the Parochial Schools, all present and former members of the C. C. H. Faculty, and all members who may enter the priesthood or a religious community. The graduates are the active members and each year reception for the new members is held as soon aft- er graduation as possible. The first officers elected are as follows: Mr. Paul Koellner '24, Presidentg Miss Marjorie Thorn '27, Vice-Presidentg Miss Beatrice Pohlmeyer '26, Secretaryg Mr. Philip Helling '25, Treasurer. They have worked faithfully and zealously, and with the co-operation of the members have given several successful bene- fit affairs. The first affair of their Social Calendar was an Alumni Dance and Reception held on Thursday, june the ninth, when the sixteen graduates of June the sixth were the honor guests. On August the twenty-fourth a delightful time was spent by the members at a Wiener-roast held at Bridgeport in honor of the members who were leaving the city to pursue advanced studies in higher institutions. The crowning social event of the year was the formal Alumni Banquet and Dance held on December the twenty-eighth, which time was most opportune for the out- of-town members, who were at home for their Christmas vacation, to attend. Thus, through frequent meetings and united effort, it is the aim of the mem- bers to form a strong foundation for the Catholic Central High School and by their enthusiasm, loyalty, and moral support, to be an inspiration and guide to those who are at present students in their beloved Alma Mater.
