Sodality a Leg! nM in this aim it has nobly succeeded. At the National Eucharistic Congress held last year in Cleveland, St. John's was represented by a delegation of twenty-nine boys. While there the students took part in the spiritual exer- NDER the direction of Fr. Joseph Gillespie, S. J., and Fr. Nicholas Mann, S. J., the Sodality of St. John's High School has closed once again a successful year. The Sodal- ity's main objective was to sponsor Catholic action, temporal as well as spiritual, and cises of the day and returned much impressed with the greatness of their religion. At Thanksgiving time the Sodality conducted a drive to obtain food for the needy. The Sodality is proud to say that the quota was easily passed. During the first half of the year discussions were held at the weekly meetings. Each member was at some time or other called upon to speak. These meetings proved not only inter- esting and delightful to those in attendance but also most in- structive. The moderators of “both sodalities throughout the year stressed the importance of making visits and of receiving Com- munion frequently. In its support of the missions, the Sodality was in the front ranks, averaging five cents per week per student. The president of the Senior Sodality was Robert Fish, and of the Junior Sodality, Robert Riley. : page thirty-four FRaded SIL EESPTE a. : :

Acolythical Society iy Pee @ Swe Oly Ale S@CIETY. ds-an organization ever active in the school, | since its members serve God daily in the chapel. To add beauty to the divine serv- ices, to assist the priest at the holy sacrifice of the mass, are the aims of the society. | It gives an opportunity for the boys to be united in a closer relationship with the Divine Creator and, as they have often heard, is a privilege that is denied even to the angels. What Catholic boy who has not learned to serve at mass, does not feel a certain emptiness in his heart? The first meeting of the Society, which is under the direc- tion of Mr. Jerome Zipprich, S. J., was called about the second week of school, at which the election of officers took place. John Kanary and Hewitt Whelan were elected president and secretary respectively in the senior division, while Robert For- rester and Edward Glynn were elected to the same offices in the junior division. St. John Berchmans is the patron of the acolytes, and in his honor a symposium was held at one of the meetings during the year. Three seniors read short papers depicting the var- ious phases of serving. Toward the end of the year a picnic was held at Lakewood, MR. J. A. ZIPPRICH, S. J.
