The Acolythical Society of St. 'Wendelin High School is one of the rnost active societies of which the high school can boast. This society is made up ot all the acolytes of the high school, who are active in assisting Father O'Con- nor at Mass and benediction during the week, in the school chapel. These boys also serve ten o'clock Mass every Sunday at the church, and seven o'clock Mass on the Holy Name Sunday. With the exception of a few, the boys who have knelt at the foot of the altar, and have brought greater honor and glory to God by assisting the priest at the holy sacrifice of the Mass, have served for many years. Graduation will claim four of the acolytes who have been in the servers' ranks for a decade or more years. Two of the four, Carl Myers and loseph Gabriel have been acolytes for ten years. Lawrence Fink has served at St. Wendelin's for nine years, and one year at Ladyglen, Grand Rapids, Ohio. Eugene Boyer held this position for four years at St. Francis de Sales parish, Morgantown, West Virginia. He has been an acolyte here for two years. With these four boys off the servers' list, it will leave nineteen boys to carry on this privileged work. But with the freshmen class of l94U, who will join the student body when the term begins again in September, we hope, not only to fill the gap left by the graduating class, in the servers' ranks but to in- crease the membership.

The Mission Society of this year has been increased and the school inter- est aroused to a greater degree. The society itself comes into prominence when the student enters high school, but the spirit of the mission begins in the pri- mary grades. Therefore it is nothing new, but the old, repeating itself. With the blessing of Almighty God, this apostolic work has grown and prospered spiritually more than any other undertaking for the spread of the Catholic church in this country. Through the aid of the students, financial help is sent to the missions and the consecrated workers who make it possible for the heathens to learn the truths of Catholicity. The society has tried to come up to the standards set by former students and through effort and skill have equalled and in some respects even excelled those of former years. Because of their good works and earnest desire to help others, thousands of masses and prayers are offered up yearly for the members throughout the world. The Society sponsored bake sales, gave a Mission play, First Fruits, had mite boxes and other means of raising a Mission fund. ln the beginning of May Mission returns averaged ninety-three cents for each pupil over and above the dollar paid for Mission dues.

The outstanding club of the school is the Bonhi Club. Bonhi stands for Boost Our New High. At the beginning of the scholastic year, a meeting was held with Father O'Connor in charge. He named Ieanette Huth '36 president of the club. The members proceeded to choose the officers and elected Iustin Nye, vice-presi- dent: Eugene Daugherty, secretary, and Dorothy Enright, treasurer. On February 23, 24, the members of the club, under the direction of Father O'Connor, produced Sally Lou, a comedy in three acts from which the pro- ceeds will be used to purchase a crucifix and candle sticks for the chapel. Black and Gold day was observed on February 22 with the Bonhi Club in charge and the student body Wearing some article of clothing in black and gold. Several talks were given concerning the gala day in an assembly held in the gym. Every second Sunday of the month, the club sponsors a breakfast for the Holy Name Society and the boys of the high school. The Bonhi Club has been listed among the clubs of the school since 1930. Carolyn Vogel was the first president, and since that time this club has been the most active society ever to come into existence in the high school. Page Twenty-Seven
