The CARDINAL I936 Student Spiritual Council JAMES P. REING ................................ Chairman Selecting its members from students living in the various dormitories, the Spiritual Council has worked in conjunction with the University Chaplin, Rev. Dr. George B. Stratemeir, O. P. Keeping in mind that it was to be practical, the Council devoted its efforts to the promotion of those religious exercises which appealed most to the students of the University. The work was apportioned among a number of committees, each of which had a chairman and a secretary. Outstanding work was done by the group which acted as the agents of the Saint Vincent DePaul Society. In what was, perhaps, the largest undertaking of the year, the COuncil sponsored the annual May Day Celebration which brought together all the Catholic Students of the District of Columbia to pay homage to Mary, Queen of Heaven.

McDonald, the Student Council has plowed its way through another scholastic year. Adhering to the traditions and policies of the University it fulfilled its important functions with as little of the spectacular as pos- sible. The inauguration of a homecoming dance to replace the annual bonfire was its contributiOn to university traditions. If there has been anything more than usual success as regards the functions which came under its supervision, such added success is due to the splendid spirit of cooperation of its members. In all matters which have come before it and in discharging its every duty, the welfare of the student-body and the university has been the first consideration of the Council.

KUZMA ,,,,,, General Co-Claairmen Certain activities and functions designed particularly for Seniors take place during Commencement Week. The supervision of these activities is placed in the hands of Seniors appointed according to their ability to fulfill the duties required of them. The Class of 1936 set a precedent and elected two General Co-chairmen. These men are directly responsible for the carrying out of the duties of the various committees. Under their direction are the chairmen and committeemen of each individual Com- mittee. Thereby work is divided and no one man is called on to do more than his share. 94
