T-his society has now become a permanent fixture at De La Salle. and during the three years following its introduction was most successful, for the membership has increased to three times the original num- ber. Now in the fifth year, this society has established itself as though it had grown with the school. There are three degrees in the Knighthood. The Hrst order receives Holy Communion daily: the second order receives twice weekly: the third order receives once a week. The purpose of the Knighthood is to encourage devotion to the Child Jesus, and to foster the practice of frequent and regular communion. How- ever, in so far as the Archconfraternity of the Infant Jesus embodies the first of these, the Knights are left but one of their two purposes, that of encourage- ment of the practice of frequent and regular communion. In accordance with the rules of the society. meetings are held every Thursday in the school audi- torium. At these Weekly meetings the society prayers are offered and a short instruction is given by the Moderator. The first meeting of the society was held on February 13. of this year, with' an address by the Reverend Brother Edward. who welcomed the new members and reminded us of the true spirit which should animate each loyal Knight. Our Moderator whom we found to be none other than the Reverend Brother Charles, then gave a short instruction on the society, and concluded by giving the squires. or new members, instructions.

L el the school year these meetings were featured by some short, but decidedly interesting talks, given both by Brother Charles and Brother Director. The supreme council, composed of representative members of each class, was selected. The officers selected to govern the society this year were as follows: Grand Knight: James Fetherston Deputy Grand Knight: Hubert Boyle Knight Secretary: James Hillery Knight Treasurer: John Kemp Sacrislans: James Casey, Patrick Callahan By the time this article goes to pressf the all important and crowning event of the Knights will not yet have occurred. This event, the annual communion breakfast, has always been a solemn function, for it is on this occasion that the squires, or candidates for admission, are Knighted. The ceremonies consist of Mass, Holy Communion and Solemn Benediction, followed by the Com- munion Break-fast. The breakfast is arranged in some -hotel, and during its course, several addresses are made by noteworthy personages, including the Moderator and Grand Knight. For the past years, the ceremonies in the church and at the hotel have been most solemn and most impressive, and as this year has been the greatest year in the short history of the society, there is no reason why the communion breakfast should not be the best ever. The active work of the society ceases for another year when the members attend this annual communion breakfast. F rx 1a Y 1 M ml? 73
