Page Ninety-siX 1933 -'I' HE CAMDANILE-1933 CATHOLIC ACTION CLUB NDER the able guidance of Brother Maurice Miller the Catholic Action Committee began its second successful year as one of the organizations of the school. Early in October Raymond Glemet was elected president and Emmet Collins was chosen to act in the capacity of secretary. Membership was extended to the entire high school, each class being well represented. The Society owes its origin to the appeal that His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, has made so frequently during the last few years for the spread of Catholic Action among the younger members of thc Church. In Detroit this appeal has been answered by the forma- tion of the Detroit Students' Conference, which is composed of delegates from all the Catholic high schools. RAYMOND GLEMET P1'csizlw1f The committee was divided into three groups: Apostolic, Literary, and Publicity. Each had its special functions and duties and was supervised by a capable chairman. Included in the program were such meritorious works as: religious instruc- tions, propagation of the faith, and the publication of the Catholic Ozzfloole and the Slllflflllll Bulletin. Much praise is due to the Publicity and Literary groups for their unfailing maintenance of the bulletin boards. Every week an epitomized life of a Catholic author and a list of his works appeared thereon. Records of Holy Communion attendance at the Tuesday novena devo- tions and on first Fridays as well as accounts of open spiritual activities were preserved by the Apostolic group. . Several times during the course of the year rallies were conducted by the committee. This was a novel idea in the school program and was received very enthusiastically by the students. Top Row: F.

1933 -'I' HE IAHDANILE-1953 GIRLS' ORCHESTRA INCE the very beginning of history music has been recognized as capable of exerting a powerful influence over the feelings and emotions of man. When praise is to be renderd, grief assuaged, or joy expressed, music is frequently the medium used. The king and the peasant, the Oriental and his western brother, .111 find a common means of expression is this language of the angelsf' Throughout our years at Holy Redeemer one organization that has vividly impressed itself on our memory is the school orchestra. Looking back, we can truly say that the orchestra has sounded the various chords of our scholastic career. During XVAUNETTA CH-'KRBONEAU our carefree years in the grade school, daily we marched to the P fXi'1 f strains of its martial airs, and at every school event or parish entertainment we found the orchestra present, ready to add the final touch of color to the pageantry. On Class Day, with its smiles and tears, the orchestra will play the final beloved school songs that will ring in loving memory through the years, and at last when Commencement night arrives, and we must leave forever the school that has sheltered us during our happy years with her, it will be to the triumphal strains of our school orchestra. The Class of 1933 feels that it owes an undeniable debt of gratitude to the members of the orchestra, and to their director, for the many times they have come to our assistance and for the harmonious way in which they have added pleasure to the joyous entertainments of our school days. We heartily congratulate them, and we leave our Alma Mater with the hope that the School Orchestra will continue to function and remain the pleasant factor it has ever been in the life of Holy Redeemer students.
