ngxmxxm.-xt Q wJzvf1:1:r,y 'm'rrr.r.r.'P-Nqr! Bmnnnnnv Our Freshman Year Now, listen, my children, and you shall hear Of nine dozen Freshies' first high school year. Oh! nobility were we from the Catholic eighth grades, But as St. fohn's Freshies, were thrown in the shade. The first day of school quite an inch high felt we, just so many Freshies adrift on the sea. The seniors decided a dance must be giveng The Freshies all came with a bow-tie or ribbon. Then studies began in full force for the year: The first time in ages our work gave us fear,- In grade school a book never followed us home, But high school seemed made of just homework alone! Next, out of the dark came our midyear exam, Dihferent subjects we took, and oh, how we did cram! With this safely past and a new year begun Came the basketball games which We usually won. Then came our retreat with a thought for our souls, To help us walk nearer the path to our goals. Now, secret of secrets! ah, seniors if you Had only the powerful eyes to see through The walls of room Seven and just what they spell For you dear old seniors, on your day of farewell. Now, a word to the Freshies of dear '32,- We WILL you our corridor and room Seven too. Margaret Telford Charlotte Smith Page Thirty-eightiwnm I 9 3 2 E A G L E

C. is actively engaged in promoting the religious spirit of the stu- dent body. Its purpose is twofold: fostering personal holiness and exciting active Catholicity. The sodality's activities are outlined each month by the delegates from the city Catholic High Schools. At these gatherings, suggestions are of- fered and discussed for the next month's program of action. In the variety of its undertakings the S. S. C. has afforded its sup- porters ample opportunities for exercising their religious spirit. Among these outbursts of Catholic Action are numbered the self-sacrifice drive held in November, the proceeds of which were used to offer up Masses for the Poor Souls: and the bundle and magazine drive, which meant a great deal for charity. The contributions of clothes, rags, periodicals, newspapers and what not, spoke well for the spirit of the S. S. C. The Christmas present to the Pope, a spiritual bouquet of Holy Masses and Communions, was significant of the sodalists' affection for their Holy Father. January found the organization sponsoring a movie, In the Service of the Queen, which moved every one who saw it to think more seriously on his vocation. Embodied in the schoolls sodality is the Holy Name Society. This na- tional society has for its primary object the encouragement of respect and reverence for the Holy Name of Jesus. In the course of the year the Rev- erend Father Murphy rendered an inspiring lecture on the subject, The Holy Name Society. On each First Friday members received Holy Com- munion in the Cathedral and made visits to the Blessed Sacrament in the convent Chapel. Another division of the S. S. C. is the Sodality of Our Lady of the Rosary, affiliated with the Prima Primaria at Rome, an indulgenced or- ganization. On December seventh the members recited dedicatory prayers to the Blessed Virgin in the Cathedral and also assisted at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, The approach of Yuletide moved the Sodality to prepare food baskets and clothes for the poor. The beautiful practice of receiving Holy Communion on the first Sunday of the month was con- tinued throughout the year. To keep the watch-word of the Sodality, Catholic Action, ever in the minds of the students, the several committees have done their part. Our Lady's Committee encouraged the daily recitation of the Rosary in the Cathedral at noon. The Eucharistic Committee urged the reception of Holy Communion weekly and daily if possible. The Apostolic Committee zeal- ously sold Father Lord's monthly pamphlets. The Publicity Committee kept students informed of all activities by their attractive posters and also by their novel arrangement of the bulletin board.
