Pane l. 3unior .Acolvtbical Society TURING tlie past year there has been unusual activity in the Junior j] Acolythical Society, although not as large a number applied for admis-sion as in previous years. Only students whose characters were above reproach and who were thoroughly acquainted with the nature of their duties were admitted. The new boys were given careful instruction concerning the Mass prayers by able teachers. Each morning different members arose early to assist at Mass ir. the student and the faculty chapels. The spirit of sacrifice animating the acolytes in this work of supererogation was most laudable. The members of the Society showed throughout the year an appreciation of the fact that they were fortunate enough to be servers by their devotion and attendance at Mass and the other services. Seeds of piety were sown among the students by the example set by the boys who devoutly served at the Great Sacrifice. During Holy Week, and especially during the three days of the retreat the acolytes of the Junior Division were very active. It in the following years the Junior Acolythical Society continues as in the past year, piety will increase, and this increase will be due in part to the splendid example set by the acolytes of the Junior Division.

yClusic at St. yClarv’s S THE HIGHER ARTS appeal to the nobler instincts of man. St. Mary’s has taken pride in developing and fostering the musical ability oi her students. The ability of a man to appreciate good music and to enjoy it. is indicative of loftiness of character, the development of which is in keeping with the standards of Catholic education. Of course such a criterion is not infallible, but it serves its purpose. And St. Mary’s, striving ever after the best there is in human nature, has used music to no small advantage. The interest shown in music and musical institutions of the college this year has been all that could be desired. Greater than ever was the number of those who enrolled in the musical organizations. The willingness of the members of these organizations to sacrifice their time for practice showed that they appreciated the powers of music and were willing to do their part in giving the school the best that could be obtained by the combined effort of instructors and pupils. The choir, the glee club, the band, the orchestra, the “Kampus Kats” and the “Little Symphony’’ have all played a part in the musical program of this year and played it well. Whether their part fitted into the scheme of musical entertainment or of religious solemnity, the generosity they displayed in contributing their best efforts for the common good cannot he estimated. St. Mary’s has been most fortunate in having so eminent a teacher of music as Professor Remy Den Haerynck. who for more than a quarter century has guided our young musicians to seek the highest and best. The annual recital conducted by Professor Den Haerynck and his able colleague. Professor Stcigcrwald. has become a very popular event. A very large audience listened with rapt attention to Professor Den Haerynck’s artistic presentation of Polonaise Op. 53 by Chopin. Etude in F Sharp Maj. by Henselt, Tarantelle Op. ( . Invitation to the Dance by Weber, and Venice and Naples by Liszt. Professor Steigerwald received merited applause on the same occasion. January 15, 192i, for his violin selections. Introduction and Rondo Capricioso by Saint-Saens, Old Refrain by Kreisler, Serenade by Schubert, and Hubay’s Ilejre Kati. I'age Ninety-nine
