It aims to arrange suitable social activities for the students and to help finance our school pa- per The Echoes . On both counts, the com- mittee this year can take a bow, as it was most successful. During the year, Newman Hall was trans- formed many times, by artistic decoration, as well as by the gaiety and color of youth. The Mothers' Club was on hand, at each occasion, to dispense a pleasing variety of refreshments. We must mention the fact, that our dances went big-time , as Vic-Trola yielded to a six piece bandg a thing, hitherto unheard of, in our an- nals. The dance committee deserves credit for a job well done.

The purpose of the club is the study and discus- sion of a variety of subjects connected with the Latin language. In regular meetings, outside of class hours, many worth-while hours are en- joyed. From a cultural standpoint, the glories of an- 64 cient Rome, as seen in her history, architecture and archeology are most beneficial. Rome il:- self, with its famous churches and historic sites, is to say the least, interesting and intriguing, The keen interest which the students display in both the study and discussion of these varied topics would seem to indicate that Latin is not a dead language.

They have truly been wonderful in their in- terest and aptitude in learning both the pre- scribed Latin and movements for serving Mass -to say nothing of their willing sacrifice of rec- reation time in order to serve just as quickly and efficiently as possible. On occasions when one one of their number, as a novice in the Sanctu- ary, might have faltered, their moral support was immediately forthcoming, by way of the proverbial stage whisper, which would evoke a smile from all present even to the celebrant him- self. The frequent dialogue Masses in which these children have so joyfully and lustily participated have really been like heavenly music to the ears -and well it might be, for did not Our Blessed Lord say, Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Now, while these little fellows will event- ually depart from Oratory, and others will come to take their places, we shall always remember them as we ascend the altar of God and pray that He may, in those words which they have so often repeated, give joy to their youth and ever keep them young in His love and service.
