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 .

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.

THE ECHO 15 - Father Bolger's Talk About the middle of October Rev. Father Bolger, Dean of the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame, gave a short talk to the students of the school. He took as his subject the choosing of an ideal or an end, and how everyone should strive with all his power to the attainment of that end. Father Bolger is an ex- cellent speaker and drove home his points with emphasis. He cited several examples, making his talk interesting and convincing. We thank Father Bolger for his kindly interest in the school and we sin- cerely hope that we will be given the opportunity of hearing more talks of this nature in the future. -F. A. Right Reverend Bishop Le- grand's Visit Our school was very much hon- ored November 24th by a visit of the Right Reverend Bishop Le- grand, C.S.C., Bishop of Dacca, Bengal, East India, and Reverend Timothy Crowley, CSC., his Vicar General. His lordship gave a very interesting talk on the people under his care, describing their characteristics and manner of living. He thanked the school for what it has done in the past to help in his arduous labors. The point was emphasized that while all cannot go to Bengal, they can help in the work by their prayers and by being active in the under- takings of the school for the benefit of the Bengal Mission. As a testi- monial of appreciation the stu- dents presented the Bishop with a check for fifty dollars. St. Andrew's Day Program As gram noon, November 30th, in honor of Right Reverend Bishop Alerding, who observed the twentieth anni- versary of his consecration as bishop of the diocese of Fort Wayne. From D. McDonald's Da Greata Basaball to f'Santa Lucia, a four-part piece sung by twelve quaking seniors, everything went off nicely. Aloysius Becker and Ralph Neeb recited their parts in a very polished way, and the or- chestra played two pieces very cred- itably. But perhaps the musical selections of our two young vir- tuosos, Harry Swift and Johnny Burke, were the most pleasing parts of the program. Swift rend- ered a very difficult piano selec- tion and responding to an encore, gave another that required his fingers everywhere on the key- board at about the same time. Burke proved himself an adept with the violin by his rendition of Whispering, is the yearly custom, a pro- was given Tuesday after- Program The Nest Love .,,i Louis Hirsch Orchestra Address of Welcome-Ralph Neeb Piano Solo-f'Syncopated Sym- phony .............
