The Mission Club's field of action-the world. Gerry Tomasulo, Tom Galenti, Tom Krauiec, Don Schmitt and Father Samuel seem to be well satisfied with their task. The difficulties and hardships of the peo- ples of the world were always before our eyes as a result of the efforts of the mem- bers of the Mission Club. Financial as well as spiritual aid was the goal of its followers. Many medical supplies and donations were forwarded to the distant lands where our missionaries are working. Holy Hours and other spiritual exercises were an integral part of their zeal and enthusiasm. The whole world was their workshop-to bring all men to the understanding of Truth. Time and again as their call for help went out, we found ourselves willing to cooperate in helping others. The aid we afforded others also helped us along the iourney to eternal success. f MISSION CLUB FIRST ROW: T. O'Neill, R. Sumera, K. Keil, P. Skoczylas, R. Pilarski, D. Ross, L. Schaller, E. O'Rourke.

Weekly meetings and discussions ledlqto J many resolutions. The ideals? and drives of f these lay apostles made their influence felt in all phases of school life. Catholic Action was an integral part of their activities. Some members attended the Summer School of Catholic Action held in Toledo. After school hours there were always some Sodalists to be found working in the infant Home. Dur- ing the Christmas Season the Sodality mem- bers distributed food baskets to many needy families in the neighborhood. Through the Legion of Decency, the importance of whole- some entertainment was learned by all. For recreation they participated in original skits which were presented in regional competi- tion. its members showed us how to be true followers of Mary. By their example and good will they helped us along our way by proving that to have a good time all that you must do is-be good-. - 1 74
