Thiele bt. athcrinfs literary lub There is a reason for every action in our lives, for the trivial as well as the great. Ask a man why he buys certain bonds. He will reply, Because I have a reason to believe they will bring me profilsf, This is the very reason why we chose SL Catherine Literary Clubv for the name of our organization. Perhaps some time in your life you have taken a fancy to some individual who excelled in some quality and you reverenced him with every mark of ihward and outward devotion. Our club is now an old but still effective organization. At first the object of it was purely literary, but it has since expanded to a field of work. Three new departments were created, namely literature, art and music. Each former member as well as the newly pledged members were given the privilege to join whichever department interested her most. The monthly programs were a source of joy and kept the members ever hungering for more. The literary group entertained us with the lives and works of the best living writers of the twentieth century. The plays, 6'Honest Peggy, The Fatal Quest, The Senior Cirlsf' and an original playlet based on the master artists were much enjoyed. Our December program gave us a study of the famous Madonnas and the creations embodying scenes of the Christmastide. St. Patrick's Day was fittingly celebrated with an operetta, 4'The Irish May Day, and the charming Irish melodies. The social gatherings which included the October party, the pre-lenten hop, and the May festival for the Seniors, were also a decided success. We feel that St. Catherineis Literary Club provided all that is up-lifting, educational, and enjoyable, and we' Seniors deem it an honor to have been members for three years. HELEN BEHNKE, ,30.

Yes, it's true, Our Lady of Lourdes has in the course of time organized a Commercial Club. This club, as can be seen by its name, was organized only for students taking the commercial course. The club activities started early in September with students of the Senior and Junior classes applying for membership. The club holds monthly meetings. At the first meeting the students applying for membership were initiated with pomp and hilarity. At another time a small social was held. The remainder of the meetings were chiefly instructive, although they were often en- tertaining, too. The meetings afforded us endless opportunities for improving efficiency and gaining a standing in the stenographic profession. The club offers facilities for acquiring valuable knowledge of business and its requirements of profession. It brings into play through its recreational activities latent talents and energies which lie dormant in the performance of our regular work. During the course of our meetings a very interesting program is given. The programs, in general, deal mainly with the commercial world. Choice topics are rendered on short- hand, typing, stenography, and the like. At one meeting, we discussed the development of a greater amount of interest in the Commercial course through our cooperation in the club. At another time we talked about the opportunity of developing our public speaking through. our meetings. The members of the club donated a book on Commercial Clubs to the school, which they hope will be a great help to future members. Most of the members of the Senior shorthand class received certificates of membership in the Order of Gregg Artists. Although the club is, as yet, new to the school and to the students, it prophesies to be- come a much patronized and popular club in the near future. Ross THIELE, '31, Page seventy five

Licgeois the little lnmet literary lub We, the freshmen of this year, zealously embarked on our high school career, and spent the first term in becoming acquainted with our books and studies. But when finally we broke away front conquering Latin, and the worries of algebra, we went at developing and organizing Freshmen activities with Wim, wigor, and witality, which resulted principally in a literary club under the patronage of the Little Flower. At the first meeting we discussed the real meaning of the club, adjusted dues lwith an eye to the pre-Lenten party? and adjourned with high resolution and ideals. Every meeting since has proved the ability of the class to put on cultural and enjoyable programs. The boys were pleasantly surprised, when, after the business session at one meeting. the girls revealed their dramatic accomplishments in a one-act play named Solemn Pride. The hopes of a pre-Lenten party were not realized so a post-Easter party was given instead. It was at this celebration that the boys repaid the girls with an amusing entertain- ment which left the girls bewildered and doubtful of their own ability and success. During the year the class studied Shakespeare's famous play Julius Caesar. Although the girls were good in dramatizations, the boys deserve special mention for the interest they have manifested in memorizing and dramatizing two scenes of t.he play. Our boys chose the two must famous scenes, the death of Caesar and the speeches of Brutus and Anthony. The various characters were vividly portrayed by the individual boys, and along with a few extra credits, the young actors received an enthusiastic ovation. It is considered a very great honor to be represented in the entertainments or business session of this club, and every freshman has treated the privilege accordingly. Much praise can be rendered them for their ever ready assistance and cooperation with the club oflicers. We also take this opportunity to thank our adviser for her interest, assistance and patience with our club and its members. PATRICIA Htiumm, '33, Page seventy seven
