The National Federation of Catholic College Students is a federation of which every student is a member and which seeks to perfect the student life on campus by coordinating the co-curricular and extracurricular ac- tivities. The N.F.C.C.S. is not a campus club but only an agency which tries to help the existing Clubs by giving them unity and furnishing com- munication with other colleges. This year marking its 20th anniversary, the N.F.C.C.S. presented a challenge of Truth to the Catholic College student to realize the necessity of absorbing the truth in his classes, of living it in every phase of his life, and of influencing others with it. On our campus this year, the students showed an active interest and par- ticipated in the programs of the Rosary Club, the Nocturnal Adoration So- ciety, and also in the Pre-Cana Conferences which were held during Lent. St. Thomas University was host in November for the Texas Regional Congress, and in February representatives journeyed in the red school bus to San Antonio for the Student Government Workshop. April marked the College Speech Tournament at St. Thomas University sponsored by the .Regional Forensics Commission which was seated on our campus. The N.F.C.C.S. board carries on the official business and is composed of representatives from each campus organization as well as the Commission chairmen. The Board is represented on the Student Council by the Senior Delegate.

MEYERS Faculty Adviyor uBLESSED BE GOD, BLESSED BE HIS HOLY NAMEtt The primary objectives of the Holy Name Society are the honor and glory of God and the personal sanctification of its members. In pursuance of these objec- tives the members practice frequent recep- tion of the sacraments, especially the monthly reception of Communion in a body, and veneration of the Holy Name of Jesus. As secondary objectives the members of the society this year participated in the Christ the King celebration, the Houston District Holy Name Union, and the Di- ocesan Council of Catholic Men Conven- tion. The members also furnished servers for the daily masses on campus, and Sun- day masses at the Veterarfs Hospital.
