   Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald (1865-1929), the first    Columbian Squires circle was instituted in 1925. Membership in the Squires is for    Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Squires' activities are many, varying from    spiritual to active service for the Church and community. Each circle elects officer    members from their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility.
