CECILIA CHOR L SOCIETY 1 1 -I A LTHOUGH many of last year's leading members were counted among the missing at the-first meeting of the Choral Society, their loss was amply compensated by the acquisition of several new-comers, Whose ability proved to be beyond question. These, together with the few remaining members of last year's choir, formed the nucleus around which Father Sebastian built up this year's creditable organization. Progress in the mastery of the Gregorian chant Was, as might be expected, rather slow at first, but before the first term was Well under Way the twenty members com- posing the choir had gained that unity, precision, and quality of tone that has charac- terized the St. Martin's choirs in the past. Their efforts have done much to grace the splendor of the divine service-efforts for which We shall be forever grateful. Much of their success may be attributed to the efficient direction of Father Sebastian, Who, as choir director, not only instructed them in their art, but, by his personal enthusiasm and zeal, inspired them with love and respect for the divine praises.

HO QR RCLL 1 1 1 in scholastic work, those who maintain an average of idered members of the Honor Roll. It is indeed an honor and something to be proud of to be a member of this group. Membership on the Honor Roll not only shows a student's ability but also acknowledges his persistence and faithful application throughout the entire year. After all, what is better in a student than a high scholastic standing? N recognition of their efforts B throughout the year are cons Keen competition exists among the various classes for the distinction of having the largest number of students on the Roll. This, of course, results in better. application and harder study on the part of the competing classes, and more interest in scholastic endeavors. ' The Freshmen and Seniors were closely tied for first p-lace in the race for the largest number of students on the Roll. Of course, the Seniors had not only quantity but also quality, for along with their many Honor Roll students they were ab-le to boast of having the high-point man, Kenneth O,Loane, who for the past four years has maintained an average of A, and co-nsequently the highest honor among the members of the Honor Roll during that time. As a reminder of his membership on the Honor Roll, each man, at the end of the year, received an Honor Pin. The p-ins were of red enamel, bearing a silver cross and a stripe, all in all an attractive p-in, and certainly a pin which any student would be proud to have merited While at St. Martin's.

CONTRIS REV. JEROME O.S.B. TONER H ANCTUARY SGCIETY Q 1 1 1 T. JOHN BERCHMAN, a holy Jesuit, who, through his life of poverty, prayer and good works, and also because of his special devotion to the Liturgy and its use on the altar, has become the patron of serving societies, served as the inspiration and ideal of the Sanctuary Society at St. Martin's. Since all religious services need servers the chief purpose of the society is to furnish well-trained and competent servers, who will be a source of ediflcatiofn to the students and who will instill in them a deeper sense of devotion and profound reverence for the solemnities of divine Worship. They also must set an example by teaching the proper observance and procedure in the various ceremonies and rites. Father Jerome, Moderator of the Society, through his untiring efforts and spiritual guidance in instructing the members, has done a great deal in help-ing the Society attain its goal-the increase of virtue and reverential devotion at the sacred functions. At the beginning of every school year the Moderator calls the old members together and new oiiicers are elected, the Moderator choosing the p-resident. The officers of the Society this year are: Faculty Moderator, Father Jerome, president, Michael Contrisg vice- president, Bernard To-ner, secretary, Raymond Schaecherg treasurer, Kenneth O'Loaneg sacristan, Edward McAnerney, and master of ceremonies, Joseph Weber.
