(Special to Th Bulletin)
SAVANNAH. Ga. — Dedication
of the new addition to the colored
USO Club sponsored by the Na
tional Catholic Community Ser
vice was held on July 4, the Most
Rev. Gerald P. O'Hara, Bishop of
Savannah - Atlanta, and Judge
Wilkes S. MacFeeley, chairman of
th Savannah USO Council, being
the principal speakers.
In his address to the large num
bers which gathered for the dedica
tion program, Bishop O'Hara re
ferred to the time when a world !
war involving the United States!
was but a threat.
“At that time, which now seems!
so remote, instructions were sent ;
to all Catholic parishes within the
State of Georgia stating that - all
halls and possible places of gaijj-
ering should be placed at the dis
posal of the members of our coun
try's armed forces,”' the Bishop
stated, “and that this should be
done without any thought of copn-!
pensation.”
At that time, when nothing had i
been done for the recreation of!
the Negro soldier here, a Negro'
morale officer, one of the com- ;
paratively few Negro soldiers then '
quartered in this area, approach-;
ed leaders in this community in an :
effort to establish a recreation 1
hall here. The officer was then '
brought by Arthur Floyd, director I
of the SSSS, to the Rt. Rev. Msgr.!
T. James McNamara who. with <-o-|
operation, immediately established'
a recreation hall at the St. Mary’s j
School Hall which has since been
incorporated in the USO as a Na
tional Catholic Community Ser-|
vice designation. From the start!
success has attended this club. 1
Bishop O’Hara declared.
To those whose work has made j
possible the successful operation
of tile club, the bishop extended!
congratulations. He expressed the 1
hope that all would work liarmon-!
iously toward the attainment of!
that Christian democracy whose j
philosophy of action is found in
our country’s Declaration of Inde
pendence.
The building was presented -by
Judge MacFeeley. who summariz
ed the achievements of the USO.
In his informative talk he stated i
that some $50,000,000 had been ex-!
pended by the USO in providing!
recreational facilities for our j
country's aimed forces both in the
United States and abroad.
“This service has been rendered
without distinction of race, color!
or creed.’’ Judge MacFeeley de-1
clared. "A maximum of accom-:
plishment 111111 a minimum of i
spending has been made possible;
by over 700.000 volunteer workers *
assisted by 4.000 professional j
workers," he slated. These workers |
are representatives of Protestant-1
ism. Judaism, and Catholicism and!
most specifically of tile six affiliat-'
ed agencies constituting the USO, i
he lidded.
The invocation was pronounced!
by the Rev. Adolph Gall, S. M. A.,!
Pastor of the Immaculate Heart of.
Mary Church, following a prelude
by the orchestra from Camp Stew- j
art. Greetings were extended to
the newly enlarged club by various i
Savannahians and civic leaders. ■
Following Bishop O'Hara’s ad-'
dress, the benediction was given
by an Army chaplain. The dedica
tion ceremonies ended a'fter the
ringing of the National Anthem by j
the audience.
The addition to the club was!
started last February but was j
greatly delayed in completion due j
to the difficulty in obtaining prior
ities. The construction of the an
nex provides a building twice as
large as the original club.

Columbia, a select school for girls
of any religious denomination en
joys a class A ranking, is fully ac

Board of Education, and is the re
cipient of scholarships from sev
eral outstanding colleges.
The Ursuline curriculum in
cludes courses of the highest
standard in religion as well as in
secular subjects which are design
ed to develop in the students a
high moral character and likewise
to produce a broadened and en
riched background preparatory for
entrance into college and the busi
ness world. True to the funda
mental purpose for which the Ursu
line Order was founded the Ursu
line High School has always made
the formation, of a Christian lady
of superior moral standing the
preponderant concern of its cur
riculum. lt constantly endeavors
to keep before its students the idea
that a cultural mind is not a su
perfluity, but a happy, useful, prof
itable living a necessity.
In addition to the regular aca
demic program Ursuline offers to
high school students and post
graduates specialized courses in
typewriting, shorthand, bookkeep
ing, business arithmetic, commer
cial law, stenciling, mimeographic
eperatiohs and other inst.uction*

The music department offer#
work in piano, violin, band instru
ments, and choral speech.
Opportunities for demonstra-,
lions of outstanding achievements
in, music as well as in those of
dramatics are presented at fre«
quent intervals during the year. .
Extra-curricular activities ar#
fostered with a view to the de
velopment of personal initiatioi
and powers of leadership.
The prestige of the Ursulines iw;
South Carolina dates from 1834
when (ho Right Reverend John
England, first Bishop of Charles
ton brought a colony of nuns from
Cork, Ireland into Charleston
where they opened the Ursuline
Academy on Broad Street. Thi#|
uas the first institution for the!
higher education of youi.g ladies’
in South Carolina. In 1858, Bishop
Patrick Neilson Lynch cognizant
of the dire need of education in
his diocese, established the Ursu
line Nuns in Columbia where they
opened the Ursuline High School,
Through periods of opposition by
bigots, war. fire, earthquakes, this
institution lias eighty-five years
been devoted to the moral, religW-
ous, intellectual, practical, physic--
al, and cultural depelopment otf
its students, many of whom have
honorably held and continue to
hold positions of social prominence
and business responsibility. ,
Registration will be held on
September 8, 9, 10 and classes for*
the school year of 1943 will bn
opened on September 13.
