IX 'IARGARET HOUGH Much good work is being done by the Crusade. The object of this organization is to help promote interest in home and foreign missions among the students, and to enlist the support of others in missionary undertakings. The following was taken from an article entitled, Saving Souls in New Mexico, by Anna C. Riinogue in the November 14, 1925, issue of Anzerim. This shows the fine support the missions are receiving from our own lvfarywood Sisters. Describing the difficulties of Father Peter Kuppers in establishing a school at Embudo, New Nlexico, and of obtaining sufficient teachers, lVIiss lllinogue says: This year sees their school placed beyond the possibility of failure, in the transfer of its charge to the Dominican Sisters from blarywood, Michigan. VVith the white robed Daughters of St. Dominic in Embudo, we may safely affirm that the reign of proselytism has passed and the progress of Christian education, social betterment, religion, assured. The coming of the Sisters to Embudo already has had its effect upon the people of Penasco, and the school, long hoped for there, will soon become a reality, with Dominican Sisters likewise in charge. With more schools like these, New Nlexico can be saved. The lVIisses Gertrude Rau and hflargaret Hough will represent our unit at the Crusade Convention in Dayton, Ohio. .Iune 25-28. ? E!

The selections sung by the Glee Club were Ijfflllllillg, by Shelley, assigned contest number, and Il Relorno def Gregge, by Nluller. The manuscript of the latter was received through the courtesy of blonsignor Rella, director of the Sistine Choir, who graciously granted the required permission to use it. The Veritas is glad to announce just before it goes to press, that first honors were won by the Little Flower Glee Club. The St. Thomas String Ensemble gave such an artistic rendering of lVIozart's illinuef in E Flat and Karl liomzalcys Fable that they were accorded second place among the contestants, and are to enjoy the privilege of entering the final contest at Lansing, lway twenty-hrst.
