McCarty speaks at Dedication. HAMINMIE PRDGRESSING IN GIANT STEPS Nothing But Progress In Sight A forty-seven year old dream took another step toward reality on January 27, 1957. To be more specific, the faculty residence and the boarders' dormitory, named Canning Hall, were dedicated. Ever since Chaminade's beginning in 1910, the faculty and their friends have been visualizing the day when the campus of Chaminade is truly complete. We have yet to see that day, but we are slowly progressing toward that aim. The Dedication Day consisted of an open house from two to six o'clock, interrupted briefly by a consecration program which began at 3:30. After the Chaminade band played the Star-Spangled Banner, Father Robert Hogan introduced the dig- nitaries present. The main speaker for the occa- sion was Rev. J. Glennon McCarty, the provincial superior of the St. Louis Province. He was fol- lowed by the presentation of a spiritual bouquet to Rev. James Canning, in whose honor the board- ers' dormitory was named, by David Dempsey, president of the Student Council. Bishop Ritter then blessed the buildings and the program was closed by the band's rendition of Esto Vir. A real debt of gratitude is due to all who made this possible. All of the former presidents of our school, many of whom were present at the ceremony, should rightfully head this list. Then come the Executive Board of the President's Coun- cil, with Mr. Carl Kahlrneyer as chairman: the Mothers' and Fathers' Clubs, the Alumni Associa- Dedication Committee, the architects, tion, the engineers, and contractors, and many others too numerous to name. Yet this is not a termination, but merely a stepping-stone. Many other facets of the expansion program have yet to become a reality, the chapel. the extension of the gym, and the renovating of the main building, to mention a few. We have full confidence that, under the guidance of Father Blume and his many associates, this dream will be accomplished and realized to its fullest in the very near future.

In original oratory, Michael Tueth and Bill Hamilton took first and fifth honors, respectively. Robert Vescovo captured third place in non-original oratory, while Forest Murphy and George Volk made the finals in radio-extemporaneous division. In the second C.I.S.L. tourney, Chaminade placed the largest number of finalists of any school entered. Michael Tueth, Bill Ham- ilton, Robert Vescovo, Forest Murphy, and Stephen Saller took final- ists' honors in this meet. Richard Schmidt and Robert Hellrung were runners-up in the same meet. The Chaminade debate team has a 3-3 record after the first C.I.S.L. debate tournament at De Andreis High School. The team defeated Assumption, C.B.C., and Mercy. Chaminade debaters Michael Tueth and George Volk received ribbons as commendable debaters. There are several meets scheduled for February and March. From all aspects, the speech team is having one of its most successful years, and both the original and non-original oratory division and the radio-extemporaneous division are in line for first division trophies. Potential Clceros Strive Forward. ' MAN PORTRAYED This month of February is Cath- olic Press Month. What exactly is Catholic Press Month and what should we do about it? Well, perhaps the best way to answer such a question would be to flnd out what Catholic Literature is, and what it does. Catholic or Supernatural Litera- ture is a portrayal of man in his entirety. Not just man as a sleep- ing, eating, working robot, but also as a faithful, hoping, loving son of Mary. shows man as child of God and Catholic literature he is, made up of body and soul. Literature on a natural level can- not be complete because it does not show man's soul, and the responsibility entailed in saving it. We must follow Mary's example. She was the author of the True Word, and we, in the same way, should understand the True Word, Christ, and His message, through the medium of the Catholic Press! 444143044 Parade The Mothers' Club will present A Bird's-eye View of Spring Fashions on March 15 and 16 in Chaminade gymnasium at 8 p. m.. produced by Kline's, Inc.
