Even though the new school is a reality, the organization still continued each year purchasing some necessity for the school. Supremacy over the activities of the previous years Was the goal desired by the Bonhites of this scholastic year. Early in November, Mary Genevieve Vilbrandt '32 was chosen president of the club for the ensuing year. The president is chosen by the Rev. R. V. O'Connor for leadership and participation in the other activities of the school. Elected by vote were Virgil Kromer, vice president: Paul Arnoldi, secretary: Laureen Kane. treasurer. It Happened in Hollywood, the play under -the auspices of the club, which was presented in the early part of the year, was the most successful en- terprise ever undertaken by the organization since its founding. The results of the other activities by the club were equally successful. Graduation took many Bonhites from its membership list, but their places have been filled by the enthusiastic freshmen as Well as some members of the other classes. At the close of the year of 1931, the Bonhi Club purchased the cyclorama for the stage in the school colors, Black and Giold. It was used for the first time on graduation and has since enhanced the lbeauty of many a stage setting. This year the club has made it possible for shrubbery to be placed about the school. It seemed a fitting and needed gift. It will go on living and growing long after the members are graduated. Howard. Twenty-Seven the Froslin -1. St. Wendelin High School I I IQ32

Mission Society Self-sacrificing students responded to the appeal of the missions for finan- cial help. By paying the small sum of ten cents a month pr one dollar a year, these students have become -memlbers of the Propagation of the Faith and share in the thousands of masses and prayers offered up yearly fpr the members. Contributions are received from all school children tliroughout the diocese and distributed among home and foreign missions, underi the direction of the Rev. H. Gabel. l The mission spirit has prevailed among the students through the transition from pri-mary grades on through their high school career. l Through their help the truths of Catholicity are enalbled to be taught to the heathens in far-off lands by tireless missionaries who have devoted their lives to that calling. A A more fertile soil in which to implant this love ofl the missions cannot be found elsewhere than in the hearts and minds of the students of our Catholic schools, from the dawn of the use of their reason into their teens. If zeal is' fostered for the missions whether it be in prayer, in self-denials or in contrilbutions. a lasting foundation for the noble htructure of mission aid is in the making, which in future years will show forth an ornament to Godfs glory, the honor of the church and the joy of souls. i Twenty-Six 1 i l 4 1 l 1

At graduation these same five young men will have irealizezl the ambition of every boy to assist the priest at the altar. Eugene Kirian, Paul Arnoldi, Ed- ward Rossie, Virgil Kromer and Raymond Binkley have attained that high honor and privilege to assist the priest at the liturg-ical ceremonies of Holy Mother Church. I Eugene Kirian '32 has established for himself a record that has never been surpassed by any student in the history of the schoollhaving been in the ranks of the mass servers for eleven years. l 'This year's membership is the largest in the history of St. Wendelin. Sev- enteen faithful students who serve high Mass on Sunday and the masses in the high school chapel compose the membership of the society. The sophomore class leads in members with Brian Kane, Joseph Skonecki, Joseph Dell, Joseph Westhoven, William Ledwedge, Richard Huth, Roland Elchert, Leonard Skonecki and Richard Scharf. 1 There are only three me-mbers from the freshman class: John Logsdon, Lawrence Daugherty and Edward Gehring. I During the years of the existence of -the Acolythical S-ociety, it has grown steadily every year. The records of its members are outstanding. They leave their name in the annals of -their schpol with no tardy -niarks behind them. The felicity and reward reaped from this organization far surpasses the arduous punctuality and reliability connected with its members. St. Wendelin's student body is proud of its mass servers and compliments them on their fine spirit and work displayed by the memblers of the Acolythical Society. 1 l I i i Twentu-Eight I V l
