THE ECHO 13 doubt about our vocation we should seek advice and direction, for almost all ill-chosen professions are the cause of much suffering and moral agony in this world. When we select our life-work let us choose the profession for which we are best fitted, for by so doing we can best fulfill our duty to God and man. -P. B. Second Year of Quarterly.- This number marks the appearance of the first issue of the school quarterly for its second year. Last year the publishing of a quarterly was a new undertaking and we spared no efforts to make our Echo appealing and interesting to our readers. With a year's experience before us we are determined to keep our paper up to its former literary standard, and to improve, if possible, each successive issue. With this in mind the first number was prepared and we are sure that our subscribers will receive it with the same favorable enthusiasm which they conceded to our last year's publication.-F. A. Our Advertisers-We take this means of expressing our apprecia- tion and thanks to the merchants and business men of Fort Wayne for the kindly interest manifested, and for the support given us in preparing the Echo. The cordial manner in which they received us and their willingness to advertise has been to us an incentive in our work. Their words of encourage- ment and advice we mean to fol- low that success may one day come to us as it has already come to them.-J. M. Activity Association-Last year an endeavor was made to form an organization to promote greater interest in school life, but the project was undertaken late and much could not be accom- plished. This year the Activity Association was reorganized, and it was decided to combine athletic and literary activities, and to give a literary program or entertain- ment each month. Nearly every student is enrolled, and if every member gives his support and lends his aid to whatever work is undertaken the Association will be a success and will accomplish the end for which it was organized.- S. M. Our Last Year-Three years have passed. Out of a freshman class of sixty only one-half have have survived. Still we shall have the largest graduating class in the history of the school. Under the influence of teachers and the higher classes we have, during our fresh- man, sophomore, and junior years, gathered some knowledge of the importance of school life, and what is more, we have formulated ideals which, if we let them guide us in our future years, can lead us only to what is best. In our senior year let us leave an example of success both in scholastic and athletic lines, that the following classes may profit thereby and do their part in turn.-R. N. Ridicule is the argument to which the dishonest and the ignorant gen- erally have recourse.

Every heart is light and gay striv- ing to make the Yuletide a happy one for friends and acquaintances. Presents are exchanged, old-time quarrels are forgotten, and friend- ships are renewed. But for Christ- ians Christmas means more than good cheer and the exchanging of gifts. It is the celebration of the greatest Gift ever bestowed upon the world, the birth of the Infant, King. On this day it is the reli- gious idea that predominates, and the Vhureh with the same senti- ments that inspired the angels' song centuries ago sings her Peace on earth to men of good Will. With feelings of this same joyous- ness we Wish all out readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.-P. M. Our Calling-All high School students, or at least those in the upper classes, should have some idea of the calling that they are to pursue in life. After all, time here is but a short period of probation given us to fit ourselves for the life to come. All of us are destined for some particular calling in which we can the more easily Work out our future destiny. If we bear this in mind we shall be careful what pro- fession we take up. If we are in

14 THE In Memoriam It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of Mr. Felix Logan, father of Kenneth of the Senior Class. Mr. Logan died at his home on October eighth after a six months' illness Which he bore With Christian fortitude and resigna- tion. The large attendance at his funeral evidenced the regard in Which he Was held by his acquaint- ances. To the bereaved family We extend our sincere and prayerful sympathy. On October twenty-sixth the Angel of Death came to summon Mrs. H. Miller, mother of Paul, a member of the Senior Class. Al- though her passing Was rather sud- den she had no cause to fear for she was ever a model Christian Wife and mother. We assure the family that she will receive a liberal share in the prayers of both faculty and students. May her precious soul rest in peace. Mrs. Clarence Olds, sister of Eugene Lulcy of the Sophomore Class, died on November seventh at hcl' home in Indianapolis. Al- though an invalid for a number of years, Mrs. Olds accepted hcr cross in a truly Christian spirit never complaining during her long illness. It may be a consolation to the family to know that she will re- ceive a frequent remembrance in the prayers of faculty and students. ECHO First Monthly Entertainment The C. C. H. S. Activity Asso- ciation has a very bright future be- fore it if We may judge by the en- thusiasm shown after the first monthly entertainment. The pro- gram consisted of selections by the School Orchestra and by the Man- dolin Club, which Were Well rend- ered 5 songs by the Glee Club, which were gotten off nicely, and recitations by Joe Mungovan, Pat- rick Donahue, and Everett Storey, each rendering his piece in a Way to do credit to old timers. Donald McDonald, chairman of the meet- ing and president of the Senior Class, read a paper on the purpose of the association and what it is expected to accomplish. At the end Brother Owen made a few remarks concerning the program, and complimented the performers upon the results.-A. B. Program .
