odality inspired spiritual growth. Making plans for the Sodality hootenanny are Prefect Kathy Glynn, Vice. Prefect Peggie Pierce, Treasurer Maryetta Longo, and Secretary Jane Shenk. 38 is 52. The oldest religious organization at the Academy, the Sodality offers its members a way of life incor- porated in its motto To Jesus through Mary. Be- sides its accent on personal holiness, the Sodality also has its apostolic phase in which its many groups participate. The Seniors organized a hootenany for the Propagation of the Faith and made their tradi- tional visits to St. Andrew's Nursing Home, while the Juniors periodically conducted parties for the or- phans at Immaculate Conception Home. By active discussions about the problems of the lay apostolate, sophomores prepared for their active work as Sodal- ists. The Freshmen were introduced to the Sodality and its special way of life by Senior Sodalists who conducted bi-weekly classes for them. This year the Sodality conducted two general as- semblies: one in honor of the Sacred Heart and the other celebrating the Immaculate Conception of Mary. With the cooperation of the entire school, Sodalists collected for the Bishops' Relief Fund and held a Mission Dance for the benefit of the Propaga- tion of the Faith. The last big Sodality function of the year was the Father-Daughter Communion Breakfast which was co-sponsored by the Fathers' Club. As always this was both a spiritual and social success- a fitting way indeed to close our year.

The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is not a club, but rather an adjunct of a parish organi- zation of the laity. Holy Angels is one of the few high schools participating in this movement. Here at HA students are given the opportunity of learning the methods of procedure to be fol- lowed in teaching religion to public school chil- dren. In addition CCD members are taught how to give demonstration lessons, how to conduct Bible Vigils, and, above all, how to use visual aids effectively in catechetics. After completing their course, CCD members receive certification and are then qualified to help in the various parishes throughout the county. This year some of the members taught exceptional children while others assisted Father lVIcTague in his various projects, such as helping immigrants adjust to their new mode of life.
