1933 -'I' HE IAHPANILE-103 APOSTOUC COMMITTEE N his encyclicals, Pope Pius XI has traced, in broad lines, the ways in which the faithful may help to restore Christ's kingdom. One of the most noteworthy of these forms of Catholic Action is the education of the youngf' Like the disciples of old, modern catholic youth has answered the call of the Holy Father and the members of the Holy Redeemer Apostolic Committee are participating in the work. True to the example of their predecessors, many of the Class of 1933 willingly offered their services in spreading the Gospel of Christ. This year Bnnmcr Gircuiusr the girls confined their labors to the parish and aided thc Sisters in 1'ff'Sff1ff1f their work with Catholic children attending public schools. Twice a week the apostolic group gave their free time to instructing the children coming for religious training after school hours. Tiny hands were taught to make the sign of the Cross, and youthful hearts heard the Word of God. Since its foundation, the Apostolic Committee has ever been one of the most active organ- izations of the school. The Class of 1933 feels sure that future classes will continue to carry on this praiseworthy activity, and so leave it in their hands, with a prayer that God will con- tinue to bless the noble work.

1933 -'I' I-IE CAMDANILE-1935 MISSION CLUB ODAY the Church is facing a stupendous problem-to preserve and increase the faith at home and to lead the pagan nations of the Orient to the one true Fold. A mighty task, but one in which the Class of 1933 has proved willing to co-operate. This year an active unit of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade was organized separately from the Students, Spiritual Council. This did not hinder the girls from undertaking the activities of the Chi Rho Mission Club, nor from forming a new mission unit under the title of the Senior Samaritans. The latter organization concerned itself with mission work in our own parish. ROSE MARY I-EBL-ANC By the collection of small weekly fees, the members were able to assist more than one poor family. The Chi Rho Club conducted a school-wide campaign for stamps and tin foil, encouraged a one hundred per cent registration in the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, and produced more than one dramatic sketch to encourage, among the student body, a knowledge and love for Mission activities. Prc'.ride11t Through the coming years the missionaries hope to continue, on a larger scale, the work they have started. They leave their Alma Mater with the wish that future classes will pro- duce many new friends for the missions, and that the prayers and alms of loyal students will continue to assist the active laborers in the Vineyard of the Lord.

qhtx 11933 -1' HE fAMl3ANll.E-1935 SENIOR ACOLYTICAL SOCIETY T would seem a fair statement to say that the members of the Holy Redeemer Acolytical Society have more to do than the mem- bers of similar organizations throughout the world. Holy Redeemer is a parish of six thousand families. In ministering to this large congregation the altar boy is the regular attendant and server of the officiating priest. There are daily Masses starting at six olclock in the morning and every half hour till ten or later on week days. On Sundays and Holydays of Obligation the Masses start at half-past five and continue till twelve Nomszm' Prim , I . Prmdent . 0 clock. There are also three services in the lower church on these days. The fact that last year 310,000 Communions were distributed testifies to the zeal of the priests and the response of the pari- shioners. Can any other parish in the world claim such a record? In the early part of this year a group of Seniors who were altar boys banded together and formed the Senior Servers. Norbert Pyka was chosen president. The organization took an edifying part in all the church activities of the high school. This was especially con- spicuous during the high school retreat. They served the Mass, Stations of the Cross, and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The manner in which they acquitted themselves in these functions was edifying to all the students assembled for the services. Top Row: J. Detlof, W. Du Pont, J. Sweeney, L. Hamilton, C. Goyette.
