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

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

In 1931 by the admission of Victor Mussolini the society became international. Each year more students are admitted to the organization. In 1929 five charter members were admitted: Florence Beck, Cyril Kuhn, Elizabeth Jacoby, Florence Huber, Dorothy Ferwalt. Louise Scharf, Carolyn Vogel, Florence Altwies, Harry Kane of the class of 1930 were qualified. At the same time five members of the junior class: Florence Bigham, Mary .McK.ee, Edna Hettel, Wil- liam Wolph, and Eugene Emerine merited the honor of belonging. In the fol- lowing year two seniors: Helen Flechtner, Dorothy Jacoby, and four juniors: Margaret Lonsway, Paul Arnoldi, Alvin Burns and Evelyn Bigham were ac- cepted. Having shown unusual ability while working on the annual, eight seniors: Rose Ellen NVeber, Alberta Foos, Esther Kieffer, Mary Genevieve Vil- brandt. Mary Catherine Wank, Virgil Kromer, Clarence Kuhn and Joseph Blaser were conceded the privilege of membership, bringing the total to twenty- eight. Admission to the society is restricted: it is essential that the nominee be a junior or senior in the upper third of his class and an active booster in all the activities of the school. Students who are awarded this privilege are permitted to wear the insignia of the society. Each month contests under the auspices of this society are Sent to the schools who have a charter. In the past year the journalism students and the members of the senior class have taken active part and have received some note. Honorable mention was merited by Margaret Lonsway in a current events test, Joseph Dell in ad writing and Evelyn Bigham in a feature article. It was rather outstanding that honorable mention should be received in every contest which the school had entered this year. Twenty-Nine the Froslin 'B St. Wendelin High School I I I
