Alumni Association HE Alumni Association was founded ten years ago by a small number of Redeemer graduates who helped to create in it a living memorial to those happy yesterdays of school and youth. The members were few then, but dur- ing the years that followed each graduating class contributed greatly to its numbers and abundantly to its successes. Looking ahead, from that decade past, those men realized the momentous task they had assumed. But they were men and their efforts, combined with the kind assistance of the Brothers of the Society of Mary, have resulted in an organization of which the parish can be justly proud. Each year the association sponsors a banquet for the graduating class. two moonlights, a field day, and a grand ball. In September the officers are elected for the ensuing twelve months. and the installation of the new oficers is an interesting feature of the Alumni's social program. This year the ball was held jointly with the Alumnae. The cooperation of the two organizations, to- gether with the support of their loyal friends, made possible the success of this event. The Alumni is a growing organization. It started in a small way but the careful guidance of these men, who have at one time or another been at its helm. has promoted its rapid development. Today, though still small, it em- bodies all those things its founders hoped to realize in it. It is truly a success, I. VI I ,W N Y -UAL-D 1 M , g ,,- E YQ V i .

To the individuals who find happiness and interest in the close association with authors of note, learned scientists, and world famous men and women of literature, these libraries pro- vide most gratifying media. The Boys' high school can boast of a very beautiful and well equipped library room. The tables and chairs and well filled shelves together with racks of the latest and most interesting as well as educational periodicals make it a rendezvous of study and quiet pleasure. One of the most outstanding events of the school year was a very successful book drive which resulted in a contribution of over four thousand new volumes, of which two thousand were put into immediate circulation. The Hction section as well as the reference department was considerably enriched as a result. Owing to years of collecting and the generous contributions of friends, the Girls' school is likewise justly proud of the many volumes to be found in its library. Several hundred reference books together with a great number' of novels have been arranged in numerical order according to the Dewey Decimal Classification System. The staff has spared no efforts in making this library a most practical source for the knowledge of current events. Here one may find magazines, pamphlets and periodicals for varying tastes and moods. And since familiarity with the best in literature is recognized as a necessity in any training, the shelves have been filled with the world's greatest treasures, awaiting to acquaint the reader, not only with thoughts of the present but also with the beauty and the truth of other distant years. jr i' r K F ' .

The Association, now thirty years old, has established a worthy precedent. The social program for the past year was the most enjoyable during its bis- tory. It opened with a bridge-luncheon which was held March twenty-fourth, in the Gymnasium at which time the officers were duly installed. This func- tion proved an impetus for the activities which followed. The annual Guest Banquet, to which the graduates looked forward with growing enthusiasm, was held June eighteenth, in the Fort Shelby Hotel. At this time two hundred girls renewed old acquaintances with much chatter un- der the shimmering glow of candle lights. On February fifth, the Gymnasium was the scene of a lively gathering of the Alumnae and their friends, for an evening of bridge. The unique prizes proved the most interesting feature of the party. One of the most colorful events of the year was the Annual Dance given by the Alumni on Friday evening, February twenty-first at the Book-Cadillac Hotel, which proved to be the most popular dance sponsored by the Association. More than one hundred twenty-five couples danced to the strains of Lake Shore Country Club Orchestra. The Alumnae has more than achieved its purpose. Lasting friendships have been formed and the true and loyal spirit for Alma Mater, so characteristic of Holy Redeemer Alumnae, grows stronger with the passing years. W - ' .
