The purpose of the society is to aid all needy Catholic Missions, both at home and abroad. Father William Sullivan, the Diocesan Director of this society, has inspired the girls with enthusiasm by coming to speak to them almost every month, con- MARGARET CASASSA gratulating them on their good Work and asking them p,eS,'de,,, to continue in it even after they are out of school. Father Sullivan has just returned from Australia, where a conference was held concerning the Missions, so he is able to tell just what we can do by our contributions. Every girl in the Student Body is a member of the organization and all have shown their co-operation and support by the Willingness with which they have done their share both spiritually and financially. l 1'f!y-eight

GOLD AND WHITE The Choral I-IE past two years have seen the rise of a new satellite in the world of school music. Brought to its present enviable position by the inspiring efforts of Reverend Edgar Boyle, St. Rose's Special Choral is now recognized by critics of music in San Francisco. Last year for the Hrst time, a mass was celebrated in St. Dominic's Church on grad- uation day. The Choral, by special dispen- sation, was seated in the Schola cantorum and sang the high mass under the direction of Father Boyle. REV. EDGAR BOYLE The selections sung on that occasion were: Processional Traditional Melody H6783 When Morning Gilds the Skies Gregorian Aspgrges Gre orian Kyrie-Xth Century g I Gloria Gregorian Credo I Mass of the Angels AVC Mant' Jacques Arcadelt gigigitus g Cum .lubilo Gregorian Panis Angelicus Lambilotto Agnus, Dei Gregorian Recessxonal Salve Regina Coelitum Traditional Melody It is the custom in St. Rose to set aside one afternoon during the term for A'An Hour With Mother. This semester our parents were entertained by the Special Choral singing songs of bygone days-among them Old Black Joe, 'Flow Gently, Sweet Afton, and Love's Old Sweet Song. During Music Week this year, on the day devoted to parochial schools, St. Rose rendered three special numbers, Salve Regina, 'AThe Old Refrain, and The Sweetest Story Ever Told, besides participating in the ensemble singing, There now remain two more events to make this an outstanding year in the history of music at St. Rose-the l929 graduation mass and the graduation itself. ln view of the fact that the mass last year met with such acclaim and that the choral is now larger and more experienced, it is quite probable that this year's mass will surpass any previous efforts. The beautiful new altar in St. Dominic's Church now being erected will be in place by that time, and will certainly prove an inspiration to us. Fifty-seven
