L. W. Cook J. A. Griffith J. F. Reaume H. T. Collins Alumni Officers THE Alumni Association was founded in 1918 to prolong that sanguine friendship of the class room. The association has grown rapidly and now consists of nearly four hundred members, Many of these men have gained success in the business and professional fields while others are recognized scholars and athletes in various colleges and universities throughout the country. These men through the attainment of their endeavors have brought greater glory to their Alma Mater. At a banquet held early in the fall of 1930, the officers for the present Year were installed. Lawrence W. Cook '24 was made President: John A. Griffith '24, Vice-President: John F. Reaume '27, Secretary and Harold T. Collins '23, Treasurer. The Board of Governors consists of Theodore J. Collins '20, three year term: Edward D. O'Connor '28, two year term and Joseph A. Sulli- van '30, one year term. ' The Alumni were very successful in their social and athletic ventures dur- ing the year. City-wide recognition was given to the basketball team because of their many victorious games. The members and friends were entertained by boxing matches and talks at several smokers sponsored by the association. On April 17, 1931, the annual Alumni Ball was given at the Book Cadillac Hotel. James M, Kohl '29 acted as chairman of this affair. The members look for- ward to the banquet to be held in June when the Seniors of the school will be welcomed into the association. H. GENSLER, '29.

x 1 e 7'? J. Kohl R. Livernois H. Gensler Alumni and Alumnae IT is with great pleasure mingled not a little with sincere gratitude and ap- preciation that we introduce this section of our book to the students and friends of Holy Redeemer. At a time when the possibilities of a 1931 Campanile hung precariously in the balance of financial doubt, thoughtful and interested members of former graduating classes advanced with words of encouragement and helping hands providing the necessary stimuli to a confidence that had every reason to lose itself in the throes of dilficult and disheartening circumstances. Shortly after the election of officers the newly appointed president of the Alumni was approached by James Kohl on the question of incorporating an Alumni-Alumnae section in the High School Yearbook. Seeing the possibilities in such a project Lawrence Cook immediately inquired as to the responsibilities such a step would incur and Hnding the plan feasible asked Jimmy Kohl to make the necessary arrangements and attend the details. With his characteristic efficiency the latter gathered about him such of those as he knew would be interested and capable. Consequently the assistance and advice of two former editors of the Campanile Harry Ciensler '29 and Romaine Livernois '30, were elicited and the plan of this section is indicative of the wisdom of his selections. Naturally, therefore, we who have been charged with the responsibility of the Yearbook are pleased to express our grateful appreciation in the suc- cess of this innovation. To Jimmy Kohl we owe a special debt of thanks for taking the initiative and devoting much of his time and energy to the execution of details that were not at all times pleasant. Page Fifty-nine

Petiprin Alumnae Officers THROUGH the efforts of our efficient officers, the social and busi-ness pro- gramme of the Alumnae was scheduled and executed during the past year of 1930. On June ninth, 1930, a meeting was held in the auditorium with Joseph- ine Collins presiding. Plans for the annual banquet were discussed after which a reading was given by Miss Marie Hanneman and orchestral selections by Miss Mary Noud and her associate musicians. When these plans were materialized on the evening of June nineteenth, at the Cadillac Athletic Club, many of the older graduates were there to wel- come the Class of '30 into their ranks. An unusual festive air pervaded the banquet hall on this occasion. The tables were beautifully appointed and the burning tapers tied in blue and white and gold bore, Without Words, the Jubilee message. Miss Mary Forbes, our charming toastmistress, introduced the partici- pants of a programme which proved to be delightfully entertaining. The winter passed uneventfully' until February fifth, when the annual bridge party was given in the auditorium. As is customary the late graduates sponsored this affair and acted as official hostesses. With the co+operation of the Alumni, the Annual Ball was sponsored, de- spite the grave difficulties provided by the pessimistic cloud of hard times. Josephine Collins, Susan Schneider, and Mary Snyder were actively engaged as members on the various committees, and were greatly instrumental in making this the outstanding social success of the year.
