1953 -'I' HE CAHITANILE -19:43 JUNIOR SERVERS ITH the beginning of the ninteen thirty-three school year, Brother Frank Springmann, the moderator of the Acolytes, undertook the task of rejuvenating the Acolytical Society. The first meeting at which nearly forty boys attended, different groups were picked and captains appointed over these groups. This meeting marked the beginning of a very active year for every acolyte. They inaugu- rated the school year of nineteen thirty-three by assisting at the Mass of the Holy Ghost which is annually sung for the success of the students throughout the term. Each server was dressed in white, carried a lighted candle and knelt at the altar during Mass. Surely, this very impres- sive service opened a very eventful season for the members of the Acolytical Society. The second important function in which the altar boys took an energetic part were the Tuesday devotions in honor of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. It does not occur to question the motive which prompted such generous service-it is the same as that of the angels and Apostles in that they all may say I servef' whereas Lucifer once said, I will not serve. The Acolytical Society is composed of boys who have by now become so accustomed to the tasks which they perform, that their work is taken for granted. The Junior Servers have been most faithful in their duty in serving daily Mass. The ceremonies on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, and ending Easter marked the completion of a most successful year. Surely God will reward the generous students who participated in the various services during nineteen thirty-two and ninteen thirty-three. Top Row: T. Soules, E. Collins, W. Kohls, F. Lark, H.

1933 -T I-IE CAMDANILE-19:3 JIUNTUR GlLlElE CLUB HE Junior department of the Glee Club is a branch of the Senior Glee Club. Both groups act as a unit. This club consists of all the members of the Glee Club who are not Seniors. All the students, Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors are eligible for membership, if their voices are musical enough to qualify them. This is the first year that the boys, high school has ever had such an organization as a Glee Club. It was started by Brother Charles Krug. When he was removed in January, Brother Robert Blume took over the management of the Glee Club. It was a novel and entertaining feature when the club sang the football song at the pep rally. Early March found the members practicing assiduously, and anyone passing in the neighbor- hood of the music room was attracted by their beautiful harmony. The Glee Club was preparing Q'Whispering Hope' for the Nameday celebration of the Pastor, Reverend Father Joseph Elenz, C. Ss. R. The song was rendered with surprising skill and merited commendation of the Pastor. What added to the effect was that it was rendered a cappella. The tenors and basses blended in beautiful harmony. Without a director each part was attacked with precision and certainty. The Glee Club was one of the most entertaining groups of the school and we hope that the Junior Glee Club will carry on in the years to come. T017 Row: H. Mack, Welniak, A. Van Horn, G. Kempf, D.

was -'I' HE CAMDANILE-1oJs ALUMNI OFFICERS ITH the annual election of ofhcers and the installation of John Sullivan '29, President, George McNamara ,29, VicePresidentg Hildner Broker '29, Secretary, and Reynolds Meier '29, Treasurer, and with Theodore Collins, John Reaume, and Emmet Roach elected to Board of Governors, the Alumni Association entered into its 14th year as an organization bound together by the ties of friend- ship created in the class-room days of by-gone years. Starting the athletic events through the kindness and gener- JOHN SULLIVAN President osity of Coach Crowe, who so willingly offered both his time and services, the Alumni basketball team enjoyed a successful season in the newly formed Catholic Young Men's League. ' The Hrst and most popular social event of the season was the Alumni Ball. This affair, through the whole hearted co-operation of the officers and the various committees, has grown year after year until now it is an event anxiously looked forward to by both the members and their friends. Our field day at Tashmoo Park, the next social, has been arranged to assure the entire school as well as the old grads of a happy carefree holiday with the annual ball game between the Seniors and Alumni promising to be the highlight of the day. A delightful evening of entertainment has been planned to welcome the largest class ever graduated from our Alma Mater at the June banquet. We feel sure that the deviation which we have made from former years will meet with the approval of the old and new members. Closing our social calendar with the annual moonlight we trust and hope that we have succeeded in binding a little closer together those class room friendships which is our aim to preserve.
