In Memory of J. C. Havel
\Tfr- . ■ -
AS A CCC BOY KNEW' HIM
The passing of J. C. Havel has
marked a period of sadness in the
hearts of many boys here in the
camp he lived in for only three
short months..
This testimony is not given
just because he has passed, but
rather because it is really true.
We all knew J. C. to be a man of
character and behavior. I have
been in a position to know him
personally. He, since enrolled in
the CCO, has never been intoxi-
cated. has never disturbed the
peace of anyone, and has never
been disciplined for any deed
that he did. He attended his own
business and did his work well.
That is much more than we can
say for many here in camp. The
equipment that was in his charge
showed much loving care.
He was typical in every way of
a boy who did not mind work and
did his share with no complaint.
He was good-natured, kind-
hearted, and aggressive toward
no one.
I am sure that the Almighty
God will compensate him for
these good traits.
This is, I am sure, speaking
the sentiments of every boy in
camp. May his soul rest in peace.

MID-TERMS
Mid-terms! Does it really mean
an examination of all you have
had during the first semester?
Why it seems even more, for all
the reviewing one has to do, and
yet the mind goes blank some-
times just on some important
event or thing. Mid-terms are
hard; however, they show if you
have progressed or not during
the semester. If one has, he
should try to aim higher, for the
saying:
Good, better, best
Never let it rest,
Till your good is better
And your better best,
holds true today. If one has not
progressed, he should strive to
do better as it is said, ‘‘Try, try
again.”
Mid-Terms
The monotonous scratching of
pens and the shuffling of paper
made us realize that mid-terms
were again in full swing. The
distressed looks upon the faces
of the students did not weaken
the stern looks of the heartless
teachers. Two hours were al-
lowed by the teachers for exams
but only fifteen minutes of the
time was spent in writing be-
cause our minds were blank. The
questions were read and reread,
but not even a faint recollection
of them came back to our empty
heads. We were positive that the
questions asked were unanswera-
ble. The only thing left to do was
to cast an appealing glance at
the teacher for a little explana-
tion, but the set and stern face
of the teacher made us realize
that our efforts were fruitless.
The last few minutes passed
rapidly and now it was time to
hand in our papers. Since, our
notes were taken away and with
blank papers we entered the
room so also practically blank
papers were handed to the
teacher. When the eyes of the
teacher glanced at the blank
papers, that look of horror, con
vinced us that we flunked.
The above editorials happen to
be the impressions some of the
students had concerning the
exams.

a great success which was great-

January 21 is observed as the
feast of St. Agnes. St. Agnes
was only twelve years old when
she suffered the death of a mar-
tyr during the persecution in the
reign of the pagan emperor
Diocletian. Her beauty and rich-
es caused the young noblemen of
the first families of Rome to
seek her hand in marriage. But
Agnes as a tiny child had con-
secrated her virginity to God.
She rejected all earthly suitors.
As a result of her steadfast re-
fusal, she was accused of being a
Christian and was brought be-
fore the Governor. Dragged be-
fore the pagan idols and , com-
manded to offer incense to them,
the holy child could not be com-
pelled to worship them. She was
bound with fetters and put in
prison. When all efforts failed to
make her renounce her faith and
her purity, she was beheaded.
St. Agne3 has always been look-
ed upon as the patroness of
purity and the protectress of
young girls.
In the early days it was a
Father F. X. Wolf is due to
leave Schulenburg on this Fri-
day and will go to San Antonio
where he will be located at the
St Francis Home.
Father Wolf has not been in
the best of health for the past
two years and it is for this rea-
son that he has decided that the
change to San Antonio would be
best for him. He has been going
to San Antonio for treatment
and the trip back and forth each
week has been too hard on him.
This whole community will
feel the loss of this esteemed
man. He was equally liked by all
people, not only Catholics but
Protestants. Since he has been
here a new school and parish
house has been erected. He has
been back of every move that
was for the upbuilding of
Schulenburg and the community.
The Sticker joins his many
friends in wishing him a speedy
recovery and much happiness
throughout the new year.
Father Leo Goertz of Cuero
;will replace Father Wolf.—
