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 .............

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 .

16 THE Recitation-f'Da Greata Basaball - -,,,,,.,,,,,...... T. A. Daly Donald McDonald Tumble ln ........... Schwariz Orchestra Welcome Address Right Reverend Bishop: We are gathered here today to commemorate the twentieth anni- versary of your consecration as Bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne. It is a pleasure to have you with us, and we welcome you to our school, the school whose existence was made possible only through your untiring endeavor and zealous labors. Twenty years ago Divine Provi- dence appointed you to be the she- herd of an important flock, and from the day when the sacred oils of consecration were placed upon you, you have guarded your fold with a tender and solicitous care. Ever mindful of the welfare of your people, you have devoted your earnest efforts to their spiritual and temporal well-being. Among the many noble works accom- plished by your lordship as head of this diocese,-we would dwell upon but one, the founding of our high school, a result of your interest in Catholic Education. The fore- sight which inspired you to found this school, and the determination which completed that plan so suc- cessfully, could come only from one who is keenly interested in higher scholastic work. Desirous of giving the boys of Fort VVayne a better C'hristian training you established this f'entral Catholic High School, for in your wisdom, born of years of experience, you realized the necessity of such an ECHO ' undertaking. Where there is no constant reminder of God, it is man's nature to follow the lines of least resistance, and to give vent to those inclinations which lead ultimately to mental and moral ruin. It requires constant reli- gious influence, the influence of those who have at heart not only our mental welfare, but also our spiritual well-being, to lead us along the path of true Christian manhood. You secured for our teachers the Brothers of Holy Cross whose deeds, more than any words we can utter, bespeak their zeal. Due to their efforts in Fort Wayne, hundreds of young men have entered upon life's journey better fitted to succeed, because of a godly education. Whatever success this school has attained, the glory in the first place redounds to you, for it is due to you that so many young men have left here equipped with a Catholic training and fortified with such ideals as could come only from one who has their best interests at heart. We know you love not praise, but, Right Reverend Bishop, we have no means of showing our gratitude other than expressing our thanks and appreciation in words, words that are but the echo of the sentiments of those who have preceded us. You are to us an inspiration, and your memory shall ever be a light, guid- ing us on our pathway through life. Our hope and prayer is that God may spare you to us for many years, and may the great Saint Andrew on this, the anniversary of your consecration day place our petition before the throne of Him you serve so well.
