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

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

Victoria i Delta Omega Soroiiity Not unreasonable were the girls of 1931 in their desire to form an organ- ization that, with the high school from which they were the first graduates, would grow and flourish, that would last, through thelannual initiation of a new chapter, as long as the high school itself. i Under the guidance of Sister Mary Eventia, just two years previous, on an early June day in the old ,junior room on Wood street,l the organization was proposed, was heartily received and the name. Do-Do club, chosen, having in itself the purpose of the organization, do-do for the new St. Wendelin high school, at that time under construction. On June 19, 1931, Florence Bigha-m was elected fir t president, Josephine Bauer, Vice president, and Dorothy Jacoby, secretary-treisurer. At no time after organization did the club waver arid when they returned to school in September, the name was changed to Deltzf Omega sorority, still holding the same significance with the Greek D and HO. Sister Eventia was elected honorary president and Sister Mary Madeleine, faculty adviser. Club pins in silver and black, their colors, are significant of whole purpose of the sorority in their design. The pin is in the shape of the Greek UD. On this is the Greek and in the three corners of the pin, one in each, are the letters, L, H, and A, standing for the club incentive, Loyalty, Honor and Am- bition. The guard is a small monoplane, their emblern, significant of the motto, Soar to the Sky. 1 At a new election of officers in September, Margaret Firth was elected president, Josephine Bauer, vice-president, and Geraldinel Pugh. secretary-treas- urer. During the past scholastic year, they have sponsored a bake sale, a c-lub spread, an inter-sorority Weiner roast, the class reuniori of 1932, while they have purchased towels for the cafeteria and a filing cabilnet for the library in the new school. l i Thirty E 1 Q 1 i
