THE KNIGHTS OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT It is my will to seek admission into the circle of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament. On my word of honor l promise to receive the Most Holy Body and Blood of my Lord in Holy Communion at least once a week, ' and to observe oll the customs of the Knighthood. T'H U RSDAY CON F ESSION That each knight may keep his pledge to his Master, confessions are heard every Thurs- day. and Holy Mass is offered Friday morning for them. Personal love for Christ, the King, together with a firm desire ond will to become more like Him, these are the calls, which bring the knights to this service of the King. Their armor is faith in Him, their sword is prayer to Him, their life is His very life, the Most Blessed Sacrament. By partaking of the Body and the Blood of the King, the knights are drawn closer to Him in their personal love for Him and for His cause, so that He dwells in their hearts by grace. They strive to live as He did. His principles of life become theirs. The mind of Christ becomes their mind, by grace they are one with Christ. This is the completion of education, the perfection of Christian life. n FRIDAY COMMUNION

Supplementing the meetings was the monthly SENIO Because man cannot realize the full scope of his development until the spiritual as well as the material aspect of his human nature has received its proportionate stress, the Sodality of Our Lady finds its rightful place in Gonz'aga's extra curricular program. Aimed at giving the student a practical moral foun- dation and instilling a fundamental Christian concept of life, the Sodality imparts those very basic spiritual principles. so sadly lacking in the world today. assembly at the Washington High School Union at the various participating schools. By way of rounding out the program and extending the scope of the organization, projects were sponsored by the individual divisions of the corporate group.
