St. Benedict's Catholic Club, Auckland

The half-yearly general meeting of the above club was held in the club rooms on Tuesday evening, March 10. There was a good attendance of members, and the proceedings were of an enthusiastic nature, which augurs well for the continued success of the club during the ensuing half-year. The report and balance sheet showed the club's affairs to be in a very healthy state. The following officers were elected:—President, Mr. A. J. Fernandez; vice-president, Mr. A. Rose; hon. secretary, Mr. C. B. Reid; hon. assistant secretary, Mr. J. McGrath; hon. treasurer, Mr. R. Owens; custodian, Mr. D. Slade; librarian, Mr. N. Earlly. A vote of thanks was accorded the outgoing officers, who were warmly congratulated on'the way in which they had worked. The meeting tendered its congratulations to Mr. Quinn on having attained his B.A. degree, it being felt that it was an honor not only to the Sacred Heart College, but also to St. Benedict's Club, that one of their number should attain this high degree under the handicaps which prevail against Catholic students. A vote of condolence was passed in sympathy with Mr. J. McGovern, on the sad loss of his father. Matters in connection with the approaching conference of delegates of Federated Catholic Clubs were introduced, but as the information in hand was so want, no action could be taken.
