This is an incentive to enlist others in missionary work. What an honorable endeavor, to try to carry the faith of Christ to the ignor- ant pagans of Africa, China and India! We do not accomplish this need directly but rather indirectly by prayer, sacrifice, and funds. Especially by praying for the priests who gave their lives for this cause, that they may be successful in their undertaking. Constant prayer is a vital necessity. The first step of reorganizing our unit for this year was the election of officers which resulted in the following: President, Evelyn Matzeng Vice President, Edward Connelly, Secretary, Julia Bowersoxi and Treasurer, Joseph Nolan. On Tuesday afternoon, March eighth, three young men from the head- quarters for the Crusade of the City of Detroit, which is the Sacred Heart Seminary, addressed our student body regarding the needs and conditions of the missions in foreign lands. Their explanation brought home to us the real purpose of the organization and everyone took a new attitude towards this most needy cause. K These Crusade Units are reunited each year not only for their own en- richment but to really understand the state of affairs in foreign lands. This must be done by studying lthe conditions and in understanding them. We will, as a consequence, be filled with a desire to do our share in con- verting the millions of Pagans. DOROTHY WYATT, '27.

From that date on, until the reorganization of the All-High club, in the fall of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-six and twenty-seven, the society has proved a mighty aid to many happy, well-spent evenings. Costume parties predominate and year after year the famous Hard-Time affair has provoked annual laughter and merriment. Then too, novelty parties have been very successful and delightful. As a natural course of events, each class resolves to outdo the previous entertainers, which, of course, incites competition and hasty searches for new ideas and unusual games. The students scan the bulletin board for posters announcing the date of the next function and great is the amazement of the boys and girls as they read of the so-called Feature-Partyj, or the Pirate-Party, and many other confusing titles. This organization has created a strong band of comradeship among the studentsg it extends an opportunity to the High School to attend parties conducted under a wholesome, Catholic element. It points out to the boys and girls the fundamentals of pure and honest recreation, untinged by the outer world, as its success lies in the sincere ardor of youth and the re- sounding laughter of Our Students.

ORD have mercy on them: Christ have mercy on them, in memoriam we say prayers and aspirations for those who have gone to join God's eternal army and we who mourn their loss find solace for our sorrow, in Prayer. It is for the valiant youths who were suddenly called from our midst into the Beyond, we pray, asking our Saviour's mercy on their souls and comfort in our tribulations. Two years ago, on a beautiful spring day, four of our companions answered the angel of death and, as silently as shadows that disappear with the dawn, drifted into the Land of Eternal Light. To perpetuate the memory of the four boys and to ask God to alleviate their sufferings, the Memorial Society was founded. Since its organization, nearly two years ago, a Mass has been offered every two weeks by the A society. The students attend Mass in a body and receive Holy Com- if munion for the boys. Lest we forget, as days slip by, a tablet of bronze, on which their names are inscribed, was placed in the main corridor, reminding youth of E God's unfathomable ways. Through prayer we aid those we have lost and, I as the beautiful words ascend to Heaven, peace reigns in our hearts. JU1.iA Bowiansox, '27.
