'VH RI TI-KS PAUL l?ENMAN lluoifr COMM:ARFORD XYILLIAM XYIIITING IGN,x'riUs SULLIVAN President V zce-President Secretary Treasurer junior ll-lloly Name Society HE Holy Name Society is a group of men and boys organized for the purpose of giving honor to God. They have been gathered from all classes, from all paths of life, and from all nations. There are those whose lives have been spent in the comfort and culture of palatial homes, those whose lives have been narrowed to the squalid tenements in some city's rough east side, and those who are recent arrivals from the strange lands across the seas. In this, the Holy Name Society, they are met on a common ground, to incite and practice reverence for the Holy Name. It is a universal organization, distributing its benefits among rich and poor, patrician and laborer, with an impartial hand. Its members do not pay dues, therefore, every Catholic has the opportunity of joining. Mem- bers share in all the prayers and Masses are offered for their intentions. But, above all, it teaches them regularly to receive Communion. Once every month its members meet in the cool gray of the morning to receive the Sacred Host at God's Table and release the soul from the powers of darkness. No longer is God,s Name heard in profanity on men's lips. Everywhere is evidenced a respect and devotion to the name of their Lord and Redeemer. Is it not the name of the greatest Man who ever came upon the earth? You would not dream of profaning the name of Washington. Then, why His? EDWARD GRANTHAM, '28.

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.

va RI TAS VIRGINIA TIALPIN lQA'l'HLI-Il-IN TAi.iso'r Doncrrnv XYY.-X'l l' C,x'i'iiicnixi-: Amx.x'i'ii Illonllor President Vice-President Monilor Children of Mary Sodality Nli of the most beautiful and inspiring doctrines of our Catholic religion is the undying love and honor bestowed on the Mother of God. How reassuring to know that in the realms of heaven there exists a heavenly mother who guards and protects us through the battles of life-for Mary is Mother to all of us-a God-given Mother who was bestowed on the world at the Sacriiice of the Cross on Mount Calvary. Ielow many people who profess to be good Catholics ever stop to think of the unbounded love which Mary holds for us all, and which so many cast aside for some petty worldly attraction? Come, in simplicity and humility, to the feet of the Blessed Virgin and the trials you encounter will be lessened and sweetened by her love. The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin consists of young girls who desire to imitate more closely the virtues of Mary, especially her modesty and purity. The purpose of the society is to establish a greater love between girls and the Mother of Christ and to draw the members into closer union by prayer. There can be no doubt that this object will with certainty be pleasing in the sight of God, Who wishes us to honor His Mother as did He in the humble town of Nazareth. What does it mean to you to be enrolled as a Child of Mary? Are you honored by the fact that Mary has chosen you as a special charge? If you are a true Child of Mary, loving the Mother of Christ, praying for piety and virtue, and trusting to her love and protection, you cannot help but be guided through life with steady, Hrm steps, never wavering on the path of Life, until you reach the portals of our heavenly home, to live in peace and love with Jesus and Mary.
