Ellllllllllllg glllg glllllla allli EIIIIIIIIIIIIIH I Ei? In enumerating briefly the progressive steps made by the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society during the current year, we cannot refrain from giving due praise to those to whom this acceptable situation is principally due-the officers, and the Executive Board. The Rev. Prefect presided at all the meet- ings, and was ably assisted by the Rev. James Harvey, the Rev Michael Fialko, and Mr. Thomas Murphyg who held the offices of vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The executive Board under the chairmanship of the Rev. Harvey is to be commended for the success of the Store and the upkeep of the Clubrooms. His willing assistants were Messrs. Kerr Fallon, and Gotwalt. In the annals of the Society, this year must he recorded as one of meritorious achievements. The officers may now close their books, with the knowledge that their term of office was the occasion for great benefit to their fellow-seminarlans A A -y J I160l .

the Society. The Seminary Library, which it also controls, en- joyed a most successful year: the addition of a set of new volumes was made 'through the subscription to the Catholic Book Clubg and a new lighting system has been installed. g Certainly the most outstanding feature of the St. Thomas Society this year, has been its lively and interesting monthly meetings. The various matters that came up for debate were subjected to close scrutiny, and were the occasion of many eloquent discussions which displayed a sound practical know- ledge of parliamentary law. Among the activities fostered by the Society was the organiza- tion of the Choral Club and the Seminary Orchestra. It also retained an active interest in the Seminary Store and effected a number of progressive changes in its operation. In' 'WY' 'fs ? -. Y 13, l. 1 MQ' ii. r 1 f , in .

Seminary Mission Society HE zeal of seminarians in behalf of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade is not surprising. Nor is this zeal, and the love which it betokens, superficial, but sincere and lasting, for by those qualities which are fundamental in a seminarian- love of God and zeal for souls-he becomes a good Crusader, prepared to sacrifice bravely for the success of the Missions. It is only natural that, fired by this forceful purpose, the Seminary Unit has taken a prominent place in the government of the C. M. C. It has exercised a beneficial interest not only through the Pittsburgh Local Conference but also through the National Conventions of the Society. i ' 1 . i M' ' ' ' M -W 1. . -,A h Q , A -,Q EL. . . .K f' 4,1 , 4 A, llff-if ' n' 1 . .
