A project ENCYCLOPEDIA Student Mission Crusade Projects At St. Pius High As the March project of the Catholic Student's Mission Cru sade unit of St. Pius X High School, The Twentieth Century Encyclopedia of Catholicism was presented to Rev. August Guppenberger, chaplain of the Newman Club at North Georgia College, Father Guppenberger is a Glenmary Miss loner and as sistant pastor of St. Luke Church in Dahlonega in which parish North Georgia College is located. When the Newman Club was established two years ago, the college had only four Catholics among Its 900 stu dents. Due to full time facili ties for practicing their reli gion, eighteen Catholics are now enrolled. In February the first convert was baptized, and a few other students have manifested interest in learning about Ca- Carrollton Lecture On Hebrew Life "The Life and Customs of the Hebrew People During the Time of Christ" was the theme of the talk given by the pastor, Rev. Richard B. Morrow, at the Al tar Society meeting of the Church of Our Lady in Carroll ton on Thursday. It is Father Morrow's belief that this knowledge will give us a clearer picture of the life of Jesus Christ when He walked this earth and help us better understand the stories recount ed in the Bible.

Family life was the predomi nant part of the Hebrew civili zation and an entire branch would constitute a religious community and hold its own ceremonies. Marriages were arranged by the families at the instigation of the groom's parents, very frequently at the time of the son’s birth, and the bride’s dowry was also arranged at that time. The bethrothal or engage ment period normally lasted one year and was considered binding. The marriage itself was the scene of seven days of festivity and all branches of both families and entire village were invited. One interesting proverb handed down from these ancient times is, "Go down one step in choosing a wife". FATHER Morrow plans to continue this subject on suc ceeding meetings of the Altar Society. The meeting was conducted by the president, Mrs. Peter Cap- pell i, and was preceded by the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and breakfast.

SINCE the Encylcopeida of Catholicism will become the property of the Library of North Georgia College, all the students will have access to it. Presently 99 volumes have been published. Each month two more volumes are scheduled for publication until the 150 vol umes are completed. These ad ditional books will be received by Father Guppenberger, who will turn them over to the col lege librarian. Through the mission con sciousness of Wanda Lee Hunt, St. Pius junior, she suggested to Sister Mary Lucia, R.S.M., C.S.M.C. moderator, that this Encyclopedia be donated. Other projects for this scho lastic year have been initiated by students. For the first meet ing, November, Martina Grif fith, president, procured from the Consolata Fathers a movie depicting their work in Africa. Martina had met a Consolate Missioner at the bi-annual Na tional Convention of the C.S. M.C. at Notre Dame Univer sity last summer. FOLLOWING the movie, Ann Hunter, a Junior, suggested the CSMCers send clothers to the missions in Africa. Ann car ried her enthusiasm home to her father, who added to the students’ Christmas clothes collection many cartons of boys' and men’s clothing from his Company’s warehouse. He also attended to the packing and shipping of the clothes collect ed. January's meeting featured the Glenmary Sisters. Jane Peeler, junior, who has work ed with these Sisters at States boro during summer vacation, brought a movie showing the work of the Glenmary Sisters in the rural areas of North Carolina. SINCE study of the missions is an integral part of C.S.M.C. activity, Latin America was the Pius High Named In Emory Project Emory University is choos ing St. Pius X to participate in a special program.

At a future meeting, it is hoped that Father Marian, O.F.M., who has recently la bored in the missions of Latin America, will give an illus trated lecture. Future plans also include a program to enlighten the high school students of St. Pius X with the missionary work in this archdiocese, so they will be further motivated to pray and sacrifice for the work of the Church near home.

TWO major projects that have become tradition are the Christmas visit to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home, when gifts are given to the patients and carols are sung, and the sponsoring of the drive for the Bishol's Relief Fund during Lent. Throughout the year, a com mittee led by Francis Glandord, junior, has been collecting stamps. Their work is to assert and send cancelled stamps to the Mission Stamp Exchange at Woodstock College. Duck hunting stamps, foreign stamps, and pre-cancelled stamps are especially valuable.
