Another outstanding accomplishment was the drive to help tinance the education ofthe Brothers at Catholic University. This campaign, the St. La Salle Auxiliary, collected over S9000 from generous, hard-working St. Joe students. The school reached an amazing percentage ot 150, with the Frosh leading the way. Room 2l4's ro- bust 208ofo ot its quota enabled it to gain top honors among the rooms by a narrow margin. The total brought in by some individuals showed what real effort can do. Ron Malecki brought in the staggering sum ot Sl7O, and 'Ralph Crowley was close behind with STAO. There were also tour- teen others who obtained more than STOO. Brother Amian, principal, and Brother Joseph lauded the students tor their excellent work and rewarded them with a holiday too. Brother A. Joseph, moderator ot the entire drive urged the student body on by ottering various prizes to the class leaders. A banquet and a ticket to the Canisius-Niagara basketball game were enioyed by seventy students who turned in S25 or I'T'lOl'e. A.D.C. officers G. Brunning, A. Scherer, E. Lendel, R. areis

. nl 1 1-: V Mass of Holy Ghost at school's beginning agated this devotion in their homes. ln May a special consecration ceremony to Mary lmmacu- late was held. The annual school retreat during the first three days of Holy Week was conducted by Father Gormley, C.M. of Toronto. As usual Mass was cel- ebrated each day and hundreds received commu- nion each day ofthe retreat. One unusual feature of the retreat was the large number of confessors from the neighboring parishes who assisted with confessions each day. Father Gormley instructed the students with a series of three talks each day, the most important talks being given at eleven and one o'clock. Spiritual reading was conducted between the various talks. During the retreat the gymnasium served as a chapel and the Blessed Sacrament was always present. The month of Our Lady marked the occasion of the annual Senior Closed Retreat. Conducted by Msgr. Joseph Scheider, past chaplain of St. Joe's, the conferences held in the school chapel were acclaimed by the Senior Class to be the most mem- orable event in their four years at St. .loseph's. iii Father Fa ola speaks at Holy Hour N1 Holy Hour ends with Benediction If?
