Next Monday Begins Observance
of Catholic Book, Press Week

Next week St. Anthony will observe Catholic Book and Press Weeks. Both are devoted to the promotion of good reading.

The slogans for the week are: "Unity in Faith Through Reading" and "Alert Catholics Read the Catholic Press."

Leads have been assigned to Judy Dombrowski, John Gloss, Kathy Lauer, and Rosie Bartos.

During Unity Octave
Greek Mass Celebrated

   For the second year the seniors and juniors were given the chance to attend a Greek Rite Mass during the Church Unity Octave. The Very Reverend Gregory Rommack officiated at one on January 18.
   In this Mass all the prayers are either sung or said in English except during the Consecration when the native tongue is still used. There is no organist. Instead a layman leads the congregation in the responses.
   This Mass of Byzantine Slavonic

rite is divided into threemajor divisions and is a little longer than the Western Rite Mass.
   The Holy Eucharist is received under both species, leavened bread and wine, and is distributed with a spoon.
   Their Sign of the Cross is made from right to left, opposite the Roman Catholic way.
   Priests of this rite may say the Mass prayers either in the Slavonic language or in English. The Mass at St. Anthony this year was in English.

Daigle First Finalist; Juniors Take Merit Exam

   Robert Daigle, 217, has just become St. Anthony's first finalist in National Merit Scholarship competition.

   He is one of the group from which merit scholars are picked.

Upperclassmen Tested for Marriage, TB

   Seniors and juniors took two very different kinds of tests recently.
   To commence their study of marriage in their final semester, the seniors took a marriage aptitude test.
   The test consisted of 75 questions, a sampling of which is: "How should a husband love his wife?" From a choice of four possible answers, "As Christ loves His Church" was correct.
   Scores ranged from 4 to 99+%.
   It was given to provide the seniors with a guide as to what should be learned in the course.
   On January 31 the juniors were given a tuberculin test consisting of a shot of clear fluid, injected between the layers of skin in the forearm.
   Two days later the arm was checked to see if swelling or lumping or change in color had occurred. If not, the test was negative.
   If, however, a positive reading was taken, it did not mean that the person had TB but that at sometime the germ had entered the body. The person was then urged to have a chest X-Ray to be sure. This test or a chest X-Ray is the only way to detect TB in its early stages.
