Hales at :fl Queen of the Apostles, pray for the Missions, that all may know the Savior of the world. This is the prayer said every day by Catholic Central students for the intention of the Missions. lt also ex- presses the main purpose of the CSMC-to bring Christ to every part of the world. Under the direction of Sister Mary Honora, this club has been engaged in varied programs throughout the year. Several missionaries in all parts of the world were assisted spiritually and materially by prayers and dona- tions of CC students. During Lent, money collected was given to the Catholic Bishops Relief Fund. Study Clubs were again on the CSMC agenda. Moder- ators headed discussions this year on Africa, Commun- ism, and the Philippines. Mission representatives worked with the CYO in co- sponsoring dances held on Sunday afternoons at the Benevolent Hall and they attended a regional meeting in Columbus, November ll. Among familiar sights of Crusader activities this year were the cloak room at the basketball games and the postoffice service during Christmastime and Valentine Day. Highlighting CSMC dances was the Easter Dance which spotlighted the Mission Queen and her attendants. li Mr. Charles H. Keating, founder and national chair- man of the Citizens of Decent Literature, and one of ten members for the School Board of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, was guest speaker for a Catholic Students Mission Crusade General Assembly, held October 30 in the school auditorium. Mr. Keating spoke on communism and on obscene literature. He stressed its influence on the young people, its prevalence on today's news-stands, and the purpose of the CDL-to promote and encourage public officials to enforce existing laws against obscene literature. The speaker was inspired to organize the CDL during a retreat he made several years ago . Its beginning was in a small way with fifteen businessmen in Cincinnati. CDL methods are now nation-wide methods used by educational, religious, fraternal, and civic groups in Milwaukee, St. Paul, Chicago, Buffalo, and Indianapolis. Mr. Keating was a Navy night fighter pilot and Ameri- can swimming champion. He testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee studying the nationwide obscenity problem. lu Hass 'Hanes ill lllllllllllllllilj- I Don't forget my Christmas cards! exclaims Donna Scherzinger to Post- man Richard Haemmerle, as junior CSMC representatives Anthony Bow- ers, Joleen Cullen, and Robert Meyer wave him goodby. 23

we GNN Gus 'ffumlile eayee... Melody without music sings throughout CC corridors as the revived A Cappella Choir puts forth their best. The choir composed of 66 girls from the iunior and senior class study under the direction of Sister Mary Sheila. Much time has been devoted to this group who were selected individually from the third and fourth year Glee Clubs. Songs of famous composers are brought to life when the choir shows their ability to sing in a three-part harmony. The fine musical qualities of the chorus were first heard publicly at the St. Cecelia Winter Concert, February 22, when they made their debut singing Give Thanks, Peter Piper, Panis Angelicus, and Wonderful Copenhagen. Music! Music! Music! echoes through the halls of Central each Monday after school, and at noon on Friday as the orchestra members have their assembly in the gymnasium. The 'favorite melodies range from a Sousa march and a waltz medley to a square dance piece and a Polo- vetsian Dance. First Row: E. West, J. Dettenwanger, S. Pulaski. Sec- ond Row: N. Meyer, M.
