The principal am- bition of its seventy-six members is to foster a deeper devotion to Our Blessed Lady, not only among its membership but also among the student body as a whole. During the year 1950-'51 its program of activities, including discussion groups and special devotions, was under the direct su- MISSION CRUSADE Moderator, Bev. Maurice Boucher, SSE, Pres- ident, Paul Boucher, Vice President, Lloyd No- lan, Secretary, Bernard Flynn, Treasurer, Don- ald Ryan. Directing the greatest part of its activities to the support of the Selma Boys' Club, the Mis- sion Crusade managed a strenuous schedule in the year 1950-'5l. Some of the fund raising activities included: Sunday collections, directed by Iohn Carbon- pervision of its Moderator and club officers. Along with its duty of assisting in the care of the College Chapel the Sodality also as- sisted the newly established Carmelite Con- vent at Williston, Vermont. One of the praiseworthy and interesting events of the year was the Montreal trip, made to see the many religious points of in- terest in and around that Canadian city. Toward the close of the school year both the Sodality and Mission Crusade held a joint Communion Breakfast. lt was a successful event for those attending and fitting climax to a spiritually successful year. neau and Bill Cofrances, a mite box system or- ganized by Bill Doyle, a jazz concert arrangeo by Bill Cofrances, and a Christmas card sale.

Pfeiferg Editor-in- Chief, Alfred Vanasse, Associate Editor, Gerald Heffernan, Literary Staff, Ralph Diehl, Christo- pher Carey. The Lance, a student publication, is that stu- dent organ that strives to prove college students do think of other things beside beer and comic- books. Perhaps the best Way to emphasize the aims of the publication, is by giving a quick roundup of the staff. Editor A. Vanasse is remembered for his short story, The Waterfront, which was the cause of much comment by both students and faculty. Word has arrived that Al has written another hit titled, My First Marihuana Cigar- ette. This has been banned in Boston and thus failed to appear in The Lance. Ierry Heffernan has distinguished himself as a poet, but this fact should not obscure his ability at short story Writing. Ralph Diehl and Chris Carey, Whose Work on the Literary Staff was somewhat ham- pered, managed the publication very Well. Ralph, a regular contributor, is regarded by f? Al Vanasse and Ierry Heffernan inspect a little modern poetry in an appropriately literary setting those interested as a short story writer, while Chris has had many poems published. In looking over some of the contributions of this year we would like to mention Stuart Har- rison's fantasy and satire on Women. It is good this is not a co-educational college as We should be writing this posthumously. lim Carrol published an adventure story titled, Moses and the Promised Land. For those interested in the cultivation of apples, or in cooking, We recommend Ronald Brady's story. lt is Francis Lennon, whose poems, Autumn Day, A Prayer From Underground and Sun- day Mass will long be remembered that we proudly claim as the finest Writer of the senior class.
