Earl J. Winter, secretary of the Unit, and Victor W. J. Feighery were designated delegates to the Cincinnati Local Conference, which again honored them with election to offices. Feighery was re-elected president of the conference, and Winter was chosen vice-president. A prominent Crusade oHiciaE and a missionary bishop were guests of the Unit during the year. Revl Frank A. Thill, national Secretary-Treasurer of the Cru- sade, delivered a stirring appeal for the mission interest at the March 24 meeting. Rt. Rev. Joseph A. Murphy, 5.1., titular bishop of Birtha, Mesopotamia, ahd Vicar Apostolic of British Honduras, was entertained by the Crusaders April 22, on the occasionrof his visit to Cincinnati.

THE Xh CLUB The St. Xavier College gX' Club, composed of all men who have won letters in varsity sports, dates back to 1918, when a group of letter men, desirous of enlarg- ing the scope of sports at St. Xavier, banded together under the title of mFhe hX: Club and received recognition from the College faculty. Besides working for greater athletic endeavor, the Club seeks to bring about a closer union among the men who have made the coveted letter, even after they have left school. To this end meetings are held every month, together with a business session. In his graduating year each letter man is presented with a certif- icate, indicating the number of letters he has won and the sport in which they were made; Michael J. Hellenthal, as president, and Richard W. Weiskittle, as secretary, constitute the oHicers for the current year. Rev. Hubert F. Brockman, President of St. Xavier College, holds the position of Honorary President of the St. Xavier X:, Club, and represents the faculty at its meetings. Page On: Hundrrd Thirty-hw

SODALITY Introduction of daily Mass during Lent and the weekly hearing of confessions in the Foss Memorial Chapel in Hinkle Hall are two prominent achievements of the Sodality of the Liberal Arts College, during the year just ending. Inspired with the enthusiasm displayed by the new moderator, Rev. Jeremiah J OiCallaghan, S. J., the Sodality members co-operated whole-heartedly with the plans laid down. In like manner, the routine work and activities of the Sodality were entered upon in an enthusiastic manner. The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception formed the principle part of the weekly meetings, held on Thursdays at 11:35 a. m. A short and interesting instruction upon timely topics by the moderator was invariably given at these meetings. During the week in which fell the First Friday of the month, the meeting was held on Friday morning at the same hour. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and a short instruction comprised the program. The ohicers for 1923-24 were: John K. Mussio, prefect; Victor W. J. Feighery, first assistant prefect; Thomas J. Ball, second assistant prefect; Thomas Manion and Murray Paddack, sacristans; James P. Glenn, librarian; Joseph J. Egan, and Earl J. Winter, medal-bearers; Eugene Perazzo, Joseph T. Collins, Albert NI. Schmitz and Leo NL Kiley, promoters. Page One Hundred Thirly-me
