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.

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' HE CAMPANILE-ions STUDIENTS' SPIRITUAL COUNCIL N army of youth flying the standard of Truth! Such an inspiring spectacle is the Students' Spiritual Council. Is it any wonder, that with a triumphant cry for Personal Sanctity and Catholic Action, the Class of 1933 eagerly adapted themselves to the role of Senior members of this organization? With Catholic Action as their password, Personal Sanctity as their goal, and Cath- olic Leadership as their aim, the girls dared to be different, so they enthusiastically launched upon this magnificent crusade. MARY WINIIJIKED Knnxvm The outstanding events of the year were: the Rally held in A Prexidrfnt our Auditorium at which Father Lord addressed the sodalistsg the organization of a chapter of the Handmaids of the Blessed Sacra- mentg the character building campaign, the Book Drive, inaug- urated to enrich the depleted shelves of our library with Catholic booksg and the monthly assemblies of the Council with their splendid programs. Besides these activities, our Council was represented at every D. C. S. C. meeting, the Rally assembled in Toledo on February twenty-second, and the newly organized Evidence Guild. The annual May Day celebration too, found hundreds of students of Holy Redeemer marching under the blue and white of Our Lady's Banner. The Class of 1933 oint with ride to the s iritual activities of the vear, and with P P P , reluctant hearts, relinquish to the incoming Seniors our best loved organization. V. McGraw F. A. Kaul M.
