Its chief aim is the increasing of the use of Spanish in and out of school. Meetings of this Club are held every Thursday in parliamentary fashion. The honorable president, Miss Bernadette McBrearty, addresses the class briefly in Spanish. If she is absent, the meeting is carried on by the vice- president, Mr. James Fraley. The secretary, Miss Julia Bowersox, then proceeds to read the minutes of the preceding meeting and to call roll in Spanish. Miss Dorothy Wyatt, the treasurer of the Club, takes care of all financial matters. A social meeting follows the business meeting, in which all of the Club members partake of the fun or work, whichever it may be. Entertainment is furnished in the form of Spanish plays, which are presented by members of the class. The red headed toreador, John Grifhth, makes a few wise remarks to pep up the meeting if it happens to lack interest. The twelve members that compose the Club are: Leah Berry, Julia Bowersox, Joan Dwyer, James Fraley, John Griffith, Bernadette McBrearty, Grace Mclntosh, Marie Stevens, June Shaughnessy, Dorothy Wyatt, John Whiting and Douglas Vannier. Each member is expected to take part in a play to be delivered before the student body of the High School, which has been the custom of the preceding classes. Plays have been selected and will be presented within a short time and it is hoped this last will be success- ful and enjoyed by our entire student body. Hasta Luego, DoUoLAs VANNIER, '27.

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.

VH RI TAS lxlAHGAltE'l' li0RNMl'Ill-ZR Manx' CA'l'HliRlNli Wurrmu EARL liLiiBB,x Oratorical Contest XCITEMENT prevailed and many comments were passed as to- who would be our best orator? First in file was lylary Catherine Whiting. Her speech, A Skeleton, bespoke very vividly the impression which she wished to convey. Again the audience was very attentive and Sylvester Phcney, an honorable junior, made his way to the front, where he very elaborately delivered his oration on the Constitution', in interesting detail. Another junior, John DeLisle, with his speech, Our Constitution, gained considerable applause, conveying to his attentive audience the correct interpretation of our Constitution Still another form makes its Way to the footlights, Earl Klebba, who, with his oration, The Guiding Light, gave to his listeners an account of the exact trials and tribulations our forefathers endured to form our present government. Last, but not least, our senior, Margaret Kornmeier, delivered her composi- tion, entitled, An American Idealf' in such an interesting and impressive manner as to be acclaimed First Orator by all judges. After fifteen minutes of careful deliberation Mary Catherine Whiting was awarded second place and Earl Klebba third. This brought our elimination contest to a close and decided that Margaret Kornmeier was to represent our school in the state and national contest.
