Companions Martha Maynard Mary Alice Kreisheimer OU'RE a Sodalist of Mary, but do you know the meaning of its emblem? As a Sodalist, you belong to the army, and your allies are strong throughout the whole world. You're bound even closer to them by fighting the forces of evil under the command of the Blessed Trinity, represented in your banner by the triangle. Everything you do is for the greater honor and glory of Christ your King and Mary, whose eternal crowns are also represented in your emblem. Your efforts should be tireless in spreading Catholic Action, and the sword points the way when you, as a true Sodalist of Mary, dare to be different in winning the world to Christ. 281 With Christ . . . WHO could have dreamed back in the six- teenth century when Flemish Father John Leunis founded Our Lady's Sodality that it would come to mean so much in the twentieth century to the students of Notre Dame? Yet our active participation in Sodality life proves that to be the case. When Father Daniel Lord, S. J., organized the first Notre Dame Sodality in 1927, it was purely a spiritual group which aimed to make the students prayer-conscious during times of religious laxity by spiritual reading and sincere attempts to help one's neighbor on the long road home. The Notre Dame chapter of the Sodality lives up to its name in fostering devotion to Christ through love and imitation of His Blessed Mother. Gathered under Mary's name, Sodalists achieve the sanctilication of souls by projects that seem far from the wonderful re- sults obtained. Apple-days, soap-box lectur- ers, and mysterious board notices all worked to further the cause of the Mystical Body among students and those aided by Sodality drives. To defend the Church against attacks, and to spread the Faith by living example is a Sodalist's aim. She holds as her guide the tra- ditional motto of the Sodality: Ad Jesum Per Mariamf'

Identiiiable girls on the picture are Virginia Blaha, Sadie Cuttaia, Jean Stanley, and Elaine Corey. 2. The sophs, all out for a good time, look at the camera through the railing at the gym entrance. 3. Sylvia Anjeskey and Peggy O'Conner seem to be enjoying the music. ALTHOUGH deadline dates prevented complete coverage of the late-spring junior and freshman parties, we did man- age to creep in on the sophs' Valentine party almost unno- ticed. Granted a one-day reprieve from the uniform regula- tion, Sally Soph showed up in a variety of colors and styles, prepared to have a gay time at the auditorium program and later at the food-laden lunch tables. First big event on our date calendars was the Annual Fall Social, sponsored by the Guild. Students out for a gay time packed the gym that November night, providing another means for memories. 4.

eeentecl ar -likeness . . . HE Mission Committee, steered by our steadfast and trustworthy Peggy Harks, has given all the students an excellent chance to show their true mission colors. The mission ship was launched early with the sale of Christmas cards and seals in the main lobby, and members of the Mission Committee were also responsible for the functioning of the mis- sion post office in order to alleviate some of the Christmas rush in the United States mail. Aft- er Christmas a cancelled stamp drive was held for the benefit of poor missionaries, followed up by a dog raffle at which a white, crocheted dog was awarded to the lucky winner. To bring the projects to a close, a drive was held to buy war bonds which in turn will be used to clothe poor little Chinese children.

The paper shortage was no obstacle, for home- rooms collectively purchased three pamphlets each month, read them and then redistributed them to chaplains and hospitals. Catholic Book Week meant hard work spiced with fun for this active group, for they propagan- dized the advantages of good reading from every point of view, including that of the soapbox Micky Ciuarino set up between peri- ods in the corridors. Retreat notes for the stu- dents were compiled and distributed by the committee members, and the annual mental prayer contest was also under capable direc- tion. ?! .
