St. Viato r
Maguire sketched the life
of
the
youthful saint as being one of g r eat holiness in the little matters of every day. He told how the young man, whose name of Viator signifies man's true state as a " wand erer" on earth, at an early age went about the narrow s treets of the old cathe-
dral city of Lyons ringing a bell to call the little children of the city to cat echism. H e was attached to the cathedral as a lector, one of the fi r st of the orders leading to the holy priesthood, and beyond which he never advanced. At th e t ime in which he lived, the fourth century, th e Church's histor y was ye t youn g , but it had been glorious in L yons where many martyrs had given their lives for their faith. St. Viator was not of this number , but his holiness was non e the less g-reat. H e was very d evoted to the good bishop of L yons, Saint Just, and when he left L yons to s pend the r emainder of his days in the desert s of Egypt seeking greater sanctification, St. Viator wa.s his sole companion. Saint Just di ed soon after his r etirement to Egypt, and the youthful Saint Viator followed him in death soon afterward s . Saint Viato r was an examp le of humility and quietness in his life, reckoning as little the high sanctity he had a chieved, and eve r striving for th e perfection tha t only few ever attain. Y e t , after hi s de ath , countless pilgrims came to the tomb wher e the bodies of the bis hop and his faithful lector, Viator, w ere placed,

At the requ est of the upperclassmen the Freshmen of St. Viator, on the evening of October 27, set aside their newly acquired dignity as college men and arrayed themselves in their most becoming pajamas to enter the nearby city and take it literally by a storm of color and shouts, as a means of stirring up the spirit appropriate for the very important
go.me with Bradley played on Saturday, October 29.
