ATLANTA, Ga. — Honor guests at
the April Communion breakfast of the
Holy Name Society of the Immaculate
Conception Church, were A1 Rubeling
and Jack Bolling of the Atlanta
Crackers. These two baseball players
were formerly with the Macon club,
of the South Atlantic baseball league
and were members of St. Joseph’s
Church in Macon.
When introduced by Gus Epler,
president, both young men expressed
their pleasure at being present among
such a progressive and friendly group
of Catholic men.
The Rev. Charles Rethans, who has
been out of the city some months for
his health, was welcomed back at this
breakfast. He has served as chaplain
of the Society since it was recogniz
ed and has done much towards mak
ing the Holy Name Society the suc
cessful club that it is. Father Rethans
congratulated the men on the excel
lent progress made in his absence.
Another beloved priest, the Rev.
George Daly, attended the breakfast
and he too had inspiring words for the
men. In his address, Father Daly urg
ed the members to carry Catholic Ac
tion outside of the Society and to do
everything humanly possible to live up
to the ideals established by the Holy
Name Society.
An announcement of interest was
made by Alton Baumgartner, enter
tainment chairman. A variety pro
gram is scheduled for the evening
of Thursday, April 21. Robert Johann,
vice president presented an idea that
met with Immediate approval of the
entire membership. A motorcade to
Griffin is in store for the members
during the month of June. The Im
maculate Conception group is espec
ially interested in the Holy Name So
ciety at the Sacred Heart Church in
Griffin and this event is sure to bring
about closer friendships between the
two organizations.
A1 Lambert, widely known news
photographer of Atlanta, added a
special attraction to the breakfast.

meeting were shown with his special
camera. The members enjoyed see
ing themselves on the silver seren.

Sacred Heart School
in Many Activities
(By ANNE ROGERS)
ATLANTA, Ga. — Sacred Heart's
basketball team of Atlanta bows to Mt.
St. Joseph of Augusta! Not bitterly,
however, for the Sacred Heart sextet
had such a glorious time entertaining
the victorious team from Augusta that
the 24-13 score seemed not such a blow.
Both teams played well, but the beau
tiful long-distance shots of the M. S. J.
cagers were particularly outstanding.
The visitors were entertained at a
banquet after the game, and later at a
show party. Speeches were made by
Miss Phil Andrews, M. S. J. coach, and
Mrs. Opal McKay, 9. H. S. -coach.
Several days later Sacred Heart came
back with a 19-7 victory over Fulton
High. You can’t keep a good team
down!
Also in the limelight is the sixth
grade sextet from S. H. S. With a
season of nine games, two were lost,
one was tied, and the other six were
smash victories! Erawn as well as
brains prevails at Sacred Heart.
In the way of social events, particu
larly interesting is the announcement
of a play to be given by the Juniors.
The presentation will take place in
April and, since this class is noted for
its histrionic talent, it is sure to be a
success. The stars of this cne-act
comedy, which is entitled, “Thanks
Awfully”, are Marian Gillooley, An
gelyn Collins, and Gloria Jcnes.
Another festivity was the St. Pat
rick's Day party given by the alum
nae. The celebration was held in the
assembly room of the school, which
was also the scene of the basketball
banquet, and was unusually well at
tended. All nationalities present went
Irish for the day, and needless to say,
the affair was successful.
Missionary activities have been con
suming some of the extra-curricula
time. The students are conducting
drives for the Georgia missions and
the foreign missions. The pupils have
shown an appreciation of the necessity
of this work, and are forwarding mis
sion crusades by their financial and
spiritual interests.
An unusual assembly was held at
Sacred Heart recently. Mr. George
Hossfield gave an enlightening demon
stration of the correct use of the type
writer. Mr. Hossfield, who is the
world’s champion typist, writes at the
astounding rate of 140 words per min
ute, however, he stresses rhythm ratti
er than speed to attain accuracy. Sa
cred Heart had the honor of being the
only Atlanta school which Mr. Hess-
field visited.
Sacred Heart made a splendid shew
ing in the city-wide Civitan essay con
test. Two of our seniors, with their
essays on “Why Our Government Of
fers More Opportunities than a Com
munistic Government”, won awards.
Dorothy Harbin received a part-time
scholarship to Agnes Scott College,
while Dorothy Cremin won a cash
award of $15.00. Sacred Heart is not
ed for its splendid record in this an
nual contest, but this year was doubly
rewarded.
