years at Jefferson College, graduating
! from that institution with high
honors. Upon completing his classical
course, he studied medicine at Tu-
lane University. Shortly after
Americas entrance into the war Dr.

Navy. For some time he was sta

Parents of public school children
are earnestly requested to send them
to catechism classes and see to it that
the children be on time. The infiu.
enza is over, the weather is fine and
there is no reasonable excuse for the
absence of children from the classes
The 10Th of March the feast of st
Joseph has Oeen chosen for First
Communion day. If the children are
absent, tardy and do not know their
! lessons the teachers will be compelled
| to put them back" No child will be
allowed to make his First Communion
or advance a class unless he can come
up to the requirements.
The Monthly Requiem for those
on the dead list will be celebrated
on Friday morning. Remember the
| dead, pray for them and offer your
communion that day for the repose Of
their souls. What a grand spectacle
it would be, how pleasing to Almighty
God and how beneficial to the poor
souls if each on the dead list had only
one friend to receive Holy Commu-
Mon for him on Friday morning.

Name OF Mary Church held its annual
election of officers. CASTOR Ayshen

Hogan, vice president; j. L. Higgins,
secretary; Alonzo Bourgeois, treas

The Flu" and other unavoidable
circumstances had temporarily stop
ped the activities of the society, but
1t is now to launch out again in its
former sphere of good works. Great
things are expected from the new
officers. CASTOR Ayshen has had much
experience in the direction of sOcie-
ties, is young man, free, and de-
voted to the ideals of the Holy Name
Society. There were other good men
In line for the presidency, but, I'M
fortunately, they are too busy to give
the attention needed to make this or
ganiZatiOn success. James l..
Hogan, J. l.. Higgins and j. Kline
have been faithful members and hard
workers, but their occupations do not
allow much time for outside work.
Sunday cards will be distributed in
the church to recruit new members
and bring back members who have
drifted away.
Monday night, at s o'clock, a
smoker will be given and the officers
will be installed. A large attendance
is expected. Plans will also be laid
for a solemn enrolment in the church

gan, vice president and chairman of
the projects; J. l.. Higgins, secre-
tary; A. l.. Bourgeois, treasurer;

fects; Francis Lyncker, warden. The
