The C. S. M. C. Society HE Catholic Students' Mission Crusade, while not classed as a major activ ity, really is from the standpoint of the number of those who join every year, and work in various ways for the betterment of missions, both home, and foreign. Our Henry P. Milet Unit, named in honor of Rev. Henry P. Milet, S.J., one time professor at St. Xavier, has always been constant in its purpose of willingly co-Opel'ating with any movement of the organization, whether national, or local. It has, since its inception, been the local collection center for all the materials gathered for mission work. Stamps, tinfoil, money, and all means of convertable funds are gathered by the members from the Academies, High Schools and Parochial Schools, and then sent periodically to the National Headquarters. 011 January 6, 1925, the unit had as its guest Rt. Rev. Bishop Van Hoeck, of the India Missions. Through voluntary contributions the society raised a purse of one hundred dollars for the Bishop, and enjoyed the privilege of a special talk by him on the conditions, work done, and work to be done in his Diocese. The purse was a gratuity which was amassed without drawing on the treasury which is maintained for the usual disbursements to other needy charities. During: the past years this branch has received many curios and relics from Indiat and the East in general in recognition of the work done for the mission cause. The active enrollment now approximates one hundred members, and the promises of a greatly augmented student body for next year lends encourage- ment in the hope that many will be converted into Laborers in the Lord's Vineyard. The officers for the past year were: Earl Winter, President; John Stenz, Treasurer; George Fern, Corresponding Secretary, and Paul Rattermann, Recording Secretary. Rev. John F. Walsh, S.J., acted as adviser, and aided the Unit materially with his counsels and directions. Page One Hundred Six

REV. JOSEPH F. KIEFER The Sodality Convocation ATURDAY, May 30, 1925 was the day assigned for the great Sodality Convocation at Corcoran Field. The Rev. Joseph Kiefer, SVJU was in complete charge of all details. A long line of SodaIists proceeded in order to the massive altar, upon which the statue of Our Mother was placed, and around which there were countless bouquets of flowers of every description. The participants in this rally were as follows: Boys of St. Xavier Com- mercial School, St. Xavier High School, St. Xavier College; St. Xavier College Alumni; members of St. Xavierts Ments and Young Men's Sodalities; students of all the Academies of Cincinnati, Covington, Newport and Melbourne; St. Xaviefs Ladies' and Young Ladies' Sodalities. Students of St Marys Hyde Park, and Elder High School brought up the rear of the long procession to the altar of Our Lady. It was indeed a beautiful sight as the graduates of the Liberal Arts College and 0f the College of the Sacred Heart, formed in front of Hinkle Hall bedecked and enrobed in the formal cap and gown, and slowly wended their way to the field, reciting, while they proceeded, the Rosary of the May Queen. The success of the Convocation is in every way due to the efforts on the part of Father Kiefer; his programme, which follows, well took care of the afternoon, and caused many comments of satisfaction to be heard everywhere.

Club HE K, of C. club, an nrganization 0f the Xaverian members of the Knights of Columbus was: organized in the college in the Spring of 1924 for the purpose of fostering the spirit of the Caseys in the college. It was called together and re-nrganized shortly after the opening of the scholastic year. Report had it that a few new members had been obtained from the student body during the Summer months, and that more prospects were in line.
