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.

I Deubell, Patrick Callahan, Michael Danahy. BERCHMAN'S SCCIETY As a Catholic School, the most important room in our building is Our Lord's-the Chapel. Daily Mass, Holy Hours and many other devotions all found time and an important place in our daily lives. A small and dedicated group of boys were respon- sible for Taking part and administrating to the priest during the countless liturgical functions in our school Chapel. Every morning the faithful members of the Club were present to serve Mass. Even when school was not in session, they were available, whenever they were needed as Mass servers. After a course of instructions by their moderator and some of the more experienced boys, the new members became well acquainted with things liturgi- cal, and they felt at home around the altar of God. No Journey could ever be a success unless it took in along its way the House of God. And no House of God would be complete without its acolytes. 77
