Officers For Confraternity of Sacred Heart

I came across this old clipping recently and wanted to share with my classmates.  (Sunday, October 6, 1957)

CONFRATERNITY - Officers for the Confraternity of Sacred Heart at St. Aloysius High School were recently elected. Left to right, there are Paul Hosemann, president (Deceased); Michael Hosemann. vice-president; George Evans, secretary, and Eddie Habert, treasurer.

Confraternity of St. Aloysius Elects Officers. Aside from having the same name and being the same spiritual organization, the Confraternity, this year, is improved somewhat from last year. Elections were held in a different manner than in previous years. Voting took place in each of the high school grades, that is, from the ninth to the twelfth grades. In this process, priority was given to the senior members for occupancy of the first two offices, president and vice-president. The junior members were the first choice for the last two offices, secretary and treasurer. One of the unique features of the Confraternity this year is centralization of power in each homeroom, whereby elected class representatives to conduct the meetings of the Confraternity in their own homeroom. These representatives are as follows: Seniors: George Ettinger, William Howell, and Donald Riddle. Juniors: Edward Habert, Harold Logue and Larry Miller. Sophomores: Grove Stewart, William Yerger, and David Ellis. Freshmen: Charles Caldwell, Freddy Hess, and George Bragg. This method does away with general meetings. However, their general meetings will not be entirely done away with. They will be held from time to time in order to acquaint each class with what the other classes have accomplished. The chief projects for this school year include devotion to Mary-Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, attendance at the holy hour, the Family Rosary, a study of the Liturgical movement, devotion to the Sacred Heart, and, in particular, reparation to the Sacred Hear. There are planned projects of a tangible nature for the members that are both corporal and spiritual, for example, aiding home missionaries distribution literature to hospitals, cooperating with parish organization, etc. The Confraternity, as a whole aims, to instruct active members to carry on Catholic Action.
