As a majority of the students are members of the society, facility in handling assignments requires a division into three separate sections. The College, the High School, and the Junior divisions, assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as well as at other religious ceremonies in an edifying manner. To accomplish this purpose, the members of the society are carefully instructed in the correct method of serving. Each morning various members assist at the Masses and become partakers in the added blessings which accrue from such close participation in the services. Members of this society also assist at the more solemn functions, such as hirst Friday Devotions and important feasts of the year. The servers took a prominent part in the impressive services of Holy Week on Holy Thursday. Good Friday and Holy Saturday. The fidelity with which the boys fulfilled their duties tended greatly to add to the dignity of the sacred liturgy. page Ninety-five

Senior U'figb Acol tbical A ITI K )L'T a doubt, tlu highest honor that can be bestowed upon any boy is to permit him to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of tin- Mass. Second to rAfr rj the priest, he derives the most benefit in the way of graces and blessings from that august sacrifice. The chief purpose of tin Acolythical Society is to instruct the students in assisting the priests at all religious ceremonies in a manner in keeping with the dignity of the sacred functions. As a rule the majority of the students who wish to become servers have previously had years of experience in the art of assisting the priest at the altar. Since this was also the case this year the organization president. Mr. Latch ford, S. J., found the way made smooth for teaching the members reverence while serving the priest. The attendance of the Senior High acolytes at all religious exercises has been one hundred per cent. Most likely this is due to the fact that they realize the great privilege that has been granted them of being very near Our Lord. If an Acolyte lias not proved his character, deportment and language to be above reproach he is not admitted into the Senior High Acolythical Society. This rule tends to improve each boy morally and to better the character of the Acolythical body. The number in the organization speaks well for the boys of St. Mary’s. Page Ninety-six
