V614 Ulf alcfivfffea 7:30 Lights showing through the windows of our grand school building announce that we are having a hot time in the school house tonight. It may be a basketball game, or perhaps basketball practice by members of our team or some team from a neighboring school that hasn't the advantage of a gymnasium. Perhaps it is band practice, or the echo of the chor- isters in the music room may tell of choir practice. A packed auditorium and stage with its lighting effects show that there is a junior or senior class play in progress. A great deal of noise and a lot of fun signifies a party is on, while on another night, the music of some good orchestra beckons everyone to the dance. No matter what the entertainment be, everyone has a good time and at the stroke of twelve, the school clock, with its kindly face, bids everyone Good Night. 1279

Jn ,M6lflfL0'CfcilfIfL The passing away of James Brennan on October 22. left a gap in the freshman class which cannot easily be Hlled. Jimmy was such an all around pal to the members of his class, popular in sports, an efficient tap dancer, ra faithful and promising member of the school band, and by his cour- teous and helpful ways, a pleasure to his teachers. His fidelity in serving at God's altar deserves the highest credit, for Jimmy not only promptly served when his turn came around, but also very readily, often at the cost of no little sacrifice, substituted for other servers at their request. We hope that our little friend who is now enjoying the fuller life of the Great Beyond will not forget us, his friends and classmates, before the great White Throne. The Senior class as a general rule has been represented among the servers, who assist the priest in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This year is no exception, for we find two young men, Robert Bolinger and Arthur Baker, who have faithfully fulfilled their obligations as servers. These youths have sacrificed both time and pleasure in the performance of their duties, and their record and example is one that should be followed with pride by all the other mem- bers of the Servers' Association. .Q-laafallanlla in Me gfiklfflldffr Arthur Baker llobcrt Bolinger f-Nl
