ED CORRIGAN MADE
HEAD OF LAREDO C. OF C.
St. Edward’s annual retreat, con-
ducted by Father Bernard Mulloy,
C.S.C., missionary of the Holy Cross
order in Texas, began Tuesday night,
Jan. 13, and ended Friday morning,
Jan. 16.
The retreat was formally opened
with a short sermon by the missionary
explaining the purpose of the retreat
and urging the daily reception of Holy
Communion, during the days of the re-
treat and in that manner preparing
for serious thought. The sermon was
followed by benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament.
On Wednesday and Thursday, Mass
was celebrated at 6:30, followed by a
short instruction. Again at 11:30 each
morning the students gathered in the
Main chapel for a short instruction.
In the evening at 7:30 the main ser-
mon of the day was preached at Bene-
diction.
Friday morning Mass was celebrated
at the usual time, at which the entire
student body received Holy Commun-
ion. Following the Mass, Father
Mulloy thanked the students for the
fine spirit they showed in making the
retreat, stating that the good will of
the participants in the retreat was the
only pay which a missionary received.
Following this short talk there was
a solemn renewal of the baptismal
vows and apostolic benediction, to
which there was attached a plenary in-
dulgence, given by special permission
of the Holy Father.
Immediately after the retreat Fr.
Mulloy left for the Lower Rio Grande
valley where he will conduct missions
at Roma, Mercedes, and Mission. He
is expected to return to St. Edward’s
in about a month.

Jimmie Deeg, former St. Edward’s
student, has been transferred from
Dodd field, San Antonio, to Chanute
field, Rantaul, Ill., where he will take
an advanced course in aerial photog-
raphy, according to word received by
his mother, Mrs. Alfred Deeg of Aus-
tin.
Jimmie attended St. Edward’s dur-
ing the terms of ’27-’28 and ’28-’29,
taking the first two y^ars of the en-
gineering course. His work here en-
abled him to pass the entrance ex-
amination easily, he said.
Deeg joined the primary training
J^corps at Brooks field in the spring of
1929. His eyes were effected by the
pressure of the air in fast flying, and
so he was transferred to the photog-
raphy corps at Dodd field. Aerial
> photography has been his chief interest
in the army. He expects to graduate
p£rom Chanute field on June 20.

Two-century old records of San An-
tonio and Laredo churches that are
expected to disclose hitherto unknown
facts regarding the territories in which
those cities are situated have been re-
ceived by the Texas Knights of Colum-
bus Historical commission at St. Ed-
ward’s university, the Rev. Dr. Paul
J. Foik, C.S.C., chairman of the com-
mission, announced this week.
The documents, which came from the
archives of San Fernando cathedral in
San Antonio and San Agustin
church, Laredo, were brought to Aus-
tin by Joseph I. Driscoll of El Paso,
state deputy of the Knights of Colum-
bus, and the Rev. M. S. Garriga of San
Antonio, member of the Historical
commission. They will be photostated
for use in writing the History of the
Catholic Church in Texas. The origi-
^C'nal documents will be returned to their
^respective archives as soon as the pho-
tostating is completed, Father Foik
said.
Of Interest to all Texans
“Although the documents are church
records, they will contain much that is
of interest to every Texan, inasmuch
as they are among. the earliest of
Texas documents,” Father Foik de-
clared in expressing his pleasure that
the registers had been made available
to the Historical commission. The San
Antonio records date back to 1703 and
jthe Laredo papers to 1789.
In addition to these registers, the
Historical commission has recently re-
ceived a transcript of an early survey
of Laredo, telling of the founding of
the city. This document is dated 1767,
and the transcript received was made
in 1832.
Explaining the value of the regis-
ters, Father Foik said, “Among these
