Cafholic Acfion CommiH'ee HE CATHOLIC Action Committee was founded through the efforts of Brother Frank Servaites. The Club owes its origin to the appeal that His Holiness, Pope Pius the Xlth, has so frequently made during the past few years, for the spread of Catholic Action among its young members. Hugh lVlcShane was elected chairman of the committee. It has as its members representatives from all the classes. The Catholic Action Committee is one of the most active organizations in the school. Among its activities are: the Propagation of the Faith, the Mis- sions, Mite-boxes, Catholic literature, press selections and publications. Records of Communions at the novena devotions and of First Fridays, as well as of other spiritual activities, are some of the statistics being compiled by this group. l The work was arranged in such a manner that .Q rf!! i everyone had some special work to perform.

Holy Redeemer Girls' Orchestra HE PURPOSE of this organization-to develop and encourage a love for classical music and to furnish entertainment for school activities-has not been set in vain. When occasion demanded, pleasures were sacrificed by the members, and anything that interfered with loyal service was placed secondary. Truly has music been styled the speech of angels. If you have never heard thoughts expressed in rhythmic language-if you have never listened to a medley of joyful notes-if you have never been enthralled by the simple dignity of music-if your spirits have never been lifted from the depths of it 1S such music that the Holy Redeemer Orchestra develops At informal gatherings banquets entertain ments, class day exercises, and at formal gradua tions, our orchestra has offered willing service. Sin cere is the note of gratitude to these music lovers not only for the entertainment they have afforded us, but also for the splendid lesson they have taught. If We take the same route to success in life that they pursued to obtain harmony from unconquered notes, our lives will be harmonious, rhythmic and tuneful, capable of conquering the difficult situa- -iii - lil .l-1-.. gloom to the heights of contentment--you never have heard good music? and ,- 'J V Xi ? 3' X tions of life.

Lionel Arl' Club HIS CLUB, which adopted the lion for its emblem, had its origin in the great paper drive of November, 1931, when a group of enthusiastic stu- dents spent hours of their spare time in making posters and signs. Officers of the Club are: Robert Wimmer, president: Joseph Sabo, vice-president: Thomas McKenzie, secretary, and Anthony Allen, treasurer. Meetings are held every Tuesday. They are practical art courses, during which the fundamental principles of art in its various phases and techniques are explained. After which the students apply their knowledge in reproducing models and in making compositions. The materials are purchased with the con- tributions given by the members. Charcoal work received a great deal of attention. Poster and dec- orative work, because of practical value, also occu- pied their time: crayonnex, water and oil painting, tempera, and pastel work were prominent and sup- plemented the knowledge of its members. Members of the Club have greatly increased J their knowledge and skill as a result of their activ- ity. Under the direction of Brother Nicholas, this Club promises to be an active organization of the school. It has been enjoyed by all members, and we hope the work will be carried on in future years. f Page One Hundred Twentyfthree
