— ORGANIZATIONS L W) S THF organizations, which are usually extra auricular, play an important part in the High School cur- riculum and enter largely into the life of the student. Saint John ' s has always fostered a reasonable number of well supervised and well chosen organizations and extra curricular activities. A well bal- anced plan of organizations at Saint John ' s includes the field of religion, music, journalism, dramatics, forensic art and athletics. It is with the greatest pride that Saint John ' s presents a summary of its activities and those who have participated in them. One of the genuine sources of pride for Saint John ' s is her library and its staff. Father John Henry, S. J., is moderator of the library, and as a result of his efforts it has increased in size and developed in appearance. The library now contains oven ten thousand volumes. This number is ever increasing, owing to the generosity of students who donate books. The librarians, Frank Eberle, Joseph St. Charles and Raymond Jacob rendered efficient service to the student body. Acolythical Society — The purpose of the Acolythical Society is to serve daily Mass and to assist the priests in various religious ceremonies. This organization has been very active during the past year. Under the direction of Mr. George A. Wallenhorst, S. J., the faculty director, assisted by the Prefect, Joseph Wrobel, and the Vice-Prefect, Charles Wright, and aided by the two Junior chairmen, this organization took care of all divine services in a commendable way. During all the services the members followed closely the object of the society, which is to add to the beauty and grandeur of Divine Worship. The members of the society served Mass on all school days, Benediction on First Fridays, and Stations during Lent. The servers were prompt and loyal whenever they were appointed to serve. They were always ready to assist the priest and to make the ceremonies as solemn as they could, thereby giving good example to the rest of the students. Orchestra — The orchestra, another organization which brought much glory to Saint John ' s during the past year, has furnished entertainment for many of the school functions. It reached the pinnacle of success at the High School Play, and has been complimented ever since for its splendid showing. The orchestra has accomplished much during the past year under the personal direction of Mr. George A. Wallenhorst, S. J., an accomplished musician. It was smaller than usual, but the members accomplished much by their fine spirit of cooperation. During the past year a change was effected in the location of the music room when all the orchestra equipment was moved from the basement into a more spacious room on the first floor. This new music room is better than the old one, not only because it furnished a larger space for rehearsals, but because the temperature of this room is better for the instruments. Drum and Bugle Corps — The drum and bugle corps, which is closely connected with the orchestra, makes a fine appearance when the members are in uniform. The appearances of this group were confined to the two parades in Toledo, the one on Armistice Day, and the other on Decoration Day. When they appeared in their capes and caps of blue and gold, the school colors, they made a fine showing and reflected much credit on Saint John ' s. The corps con- sisted of twenty- five boys headed by Charles Wright and Thomas Murray, the color bearers. Tom Ferrell acted as drum major and received many compliments on his work. The corps made a late start, but under the direction of Mr. Wallenhorst, S. J., and Mr. Fred Witherell, it developed into a very fine representative group. [22]
