N its short life of four years the Knight Herald student publication has gained a a prominent place in high school journalism. Beginning as a small four page copy this “84 paper grew until in the present year it was found possible and advisable to increase its size to six pages. Early in 1933 a contest was sponsored to obtain a suitable name for the publication. The Knight Herald was chosen as an appropriate name. Under the leadership of Mr. Francis Rey- nolds, S. J., a staff was organized and work begun on the initial issue. In April, 1935, Mr. Peter Buschmann, S. J., succeeded Mr. Reynolds as faculty adviser of the Knight Herald. According to the precident of former years, Edward CaJacob was ap- pointed editor, and, assisted by Thomas Lauer and James Gal- vin, published the final issue of school year. When school opened in September, with a view to mak- ing improvements in the paper, a method was sought whereby funds could be secured. A card party was held under the aus- pices of the P. T. A. Association for this purpose. With this additional revenue a six page issue of the Knight Herald was inaugurated, and more art was made possible. This year has been one of much success for the Knight Herald, as is evident from the number of new exchanges from all over the country and from the favorable criticism received. MR. J. P.

Gallagher, Graff, O'Brien, Lynch, Nichols, Conklin, Gaither Newman and Bellarmine Societies HE Newman Society is a senior organization that has been active at St. John's since mi the founding of the school. To increase interest in current topics and to develop self- 37% expression are the two purposes of the organization. At the beginning of the year Mr. Gerard Grant, S. J., who is well acquainted with events of the day because of his personal interest in social problems, was made moderator of this group. . A Y Regular meetings take place once every two weeks during which formal debates or open house discussions are held. Each student of fourth year is given ample opportunity to display his ability to speak, as well as his knowledge of the topic in ques- tion. A subject that was much discussed in the meetings was the Program of Social Order advocated by the Jesuits of America. The Bellarmine Society, an organization very similar to the Newman Society, is for juniors only. More formal debates are held in this group than in the senior division since its purpose is to give members a knowledge of debating principles and parli- amentary parlance. The Society was founded nine years and during the past two years has progressed under the direction of Mr. Edward O'Connor, S. J. Like to the Newman Society, MR. E. J. O'CONNOR, S.J. meetings are held every two weeks. : page Lh wy tly = nine

Pictorial! sft Nec BOUT two years ago the first Pictorial issue of the Knight Herald was published under i yi the guidance of the late Mr. Francis Reynolds, S. J., with Charles Testa as the editor. Ps Last year the idea was again carried through and the book was improved under the editorship of James Kitzmiller. This year too, it was presented to the Seniors and to a man they voted to continue the commendable project. This year under the editorship of William Johnson and the guidance of Mr. Peter Busch- mann, S. J., ably assisted by other members of the Pictorial staff, the Seniors of St. John's have tried to bring forth a book that will be a fitting remem- brance of the achievements of the class of '36. A special tribute must be paid to the many Seniors who solicited advertisements and especially to Louis Urbanski and Thomas Callahan, who, though not on the staff of the Pictorial, have labored assidu- ously to make the book a financial success. To these two men is given a vote of thanks and appreciation. And so it has come about that the Senior Class of '36 has crowned a very active year with this issue. It is their last con- tribution of glory to their Alma Mater. Although St. John's High School will no doubt pass into oblivion, may the joyful as = memories of the past four years linger forever in the pages of WILLIAM JOHNSON this Pictorial. page Viomtpers Ge We) poate
