PURPLE AND GOLD Page 7 PURPLE and GCLD Published Bi-Monthly by the Students of Christian Brothers Academy, Syracuse, New York Subscription . . . One Dollar Per Year The Twenty-Eighth Eucharistic Congress On Sunday, June 20th, the Twenty-Eighth International Eucharistic Congress will open in the city of Chicago. To this Congress there will come distinguished prelates, religious, priests and laymen from the four corners of the globe. For the first time America will be privileged to see Catholicity in all its splendor and all its pomp. This great conclave will be officially opened by Solemn High Mass, to be celebrated at dawn in every church throughout the western Arch- diocese. It is hoped that all delegates will assist at one of these masses. From these masses it is hoped to garner the one million Communions, promised by Cardinal Mudelein as one of the fruits of the Congress. On Sunday night, Holy Hour services will be conducted in all the churches. Monday, the second day, is set apart as Children's Day. On that day over sixty thou- sand children will sing the Missa Angelorumf' This mass Will be sung in the field at Grant's Stadium in the presence of the Catholic Heir- archy. On Tuesday, VVomen's Day, the mass will be sung by the mothers and daughters and assembled nuns of America. Wednesday will witness the gathering of students and seminar- ians. It will be known as Higher Educational. Day. The mass will be chanted by the assembled men. On Thursday will come the climax. All the delegates will join in a final tribute to the Eucharistic Lord when they march with Him to Mundelein, there to dedicate the largest Seminary in America. God's sun will shine a little brighter over Chi- cago on those holy days. His grace, ever pro- fuse, will How a little more freely upon America and the delegates she welcomes to her shores. Only God knows what a part the Eucharist plays in everyday life. Only He knows what trials and temptations have been overcome with Holy Com- munion as an effective weapon. It is not in America alone that jesus in the Blessed Sacra- ment is loved and revered. In every clime and from century to century has come that cry Thy Kingdom Come. That Kingdom grows nearer every year. Today we may even see the golden liveried dawn.0f its blessed approach breaking in greater effulgence, and rising surely towards its zenith. In the vanguard is Christ, the Captain in the Blessed Sacrament, drawing all hearts unto Himself. Perhaps we cannot all journey to Chicago. We may be not able to able to send up our prayers from the great stadium to Heaven's Throne Room when the strains of the Angels' Mass are bringing Heaven to earth. But we can go to our own Heaven, our Church, and, kneeling there, with a deep love promise to Him, at least a week- ly Communion, as long as we live. JOSEPH SHEEDY

PURPLE AND GOLD Page 9 Shorf Biographies ' EDWARD FRANCIS ALLEN Red entered C. B. A. in 1922 and distinguished himself as captain of C. B. A. midgets and as a member of the championship class basketball team, He is an optimist and his quick wit and silver tongue has won him a place in the hearts of his classmates as well as his teachers. Of late Red has succumbed to the charms of the fair sex, proving that they all fall sooner or later. In the course of time a new book by Red will make its appearance Qentitled Snowshoes and Chemistrynj. Red is searching for a preface writer. Here's wishing the gods of fortune may attend you, Red, and keep your smile ever shining. KENNETH MARTIN CLANCY XYe first met Ken in the third year. He had previously attended school but was obliged to quit. Since his return he has been the leader in all class athletics and not far behind in scholastic standing. Last summer he journeyed to Washington, where, according to reports, he had a conference with Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, who gave him a few pointers on the Federal Reserve system. Since then he has been elected class treasurer for four consecutive terms and has lilled the position with the ability of an old timer. He may be taking Mr. Mellon's place some day. We hope he goes even higher. VINCENT JAMES cRowE Vince hails from the coming metropolis of Lafayette. He is a serious, broadminded young man who is endowed with a good share of common sense. Although serious, Vince is no funeral and he helps to keep things going. His father is retired and Vince is tired too, but he doesn't give up. He says he was brought up on a farm and not raised there. JOHN MARTIN DIETRICH You can have your football records, basketball records, track and other records, but John holds a very unusual and unique record. Every morning for the last four years, he has bummed in from Fulton, and has never yet been late. His favorite sports are hunting and fishing. He has the distinc- tion of being the only C. B. A. boy who wrote a French composition on Trapshooting. He is going to pursue engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. CHARLES DONALD DUTTON We now divert our attention to Don Dutton, lanky forward in basketball and chemistry. Don has distinguished himself by his stellar performance on the C. B. A. quintet for the past three years. Don is a very studious chap and usually he reaches his goal. He is a very popular student and he will be missed by his schoolmates, especially on the basketball team. As long as Grange's 77 will be held in reverence, so long will Don's 7 be sacred in Syracuse. JOHN JOSEPH GAFFNEY The aforesaid lad is from a suburb of Syracuse, the thriving village of Liverpool. Although under such a very difficult handicap, he has not been held back from scholastic honors. N o matter where or when an event is being held in which C. B. A. is taking part, John is always around. Energetic, cheerful and persevering, it is hard to conceive him not making his mark in life.
