CATHOLIC ACTION tion and has kept the Sodality spirit above par. By her good example she has led the student body to an active love for the interests of Mary. Wilma's good example has gone farther still. She not only told others how to serve God and His Blessed Mother, but she went ahead and showed how best it can be done. The Student Spiritual Council The Student Body then elected Mary Schnur, as- sistant prefectg Frances Bacon, secretary, Lillian Stippler, treasurerg Betty Jane Braun, Chairman of Our Lady Committee, Geneva Spayd, chairman of the Eucharistic Committee 5 Mary Schnur, chair- man of the Poster Committeeg Mary Louise Pirnat, chairman of the Literary and Publicity Committee, and Edith Schneider, chairman of the Social Com- mittee. Prefect Enters Novitiate On the day of her graduation, June 4, Wilma ex- changed her white graduation cap and gown for the cap and cape of a postulant. Wilma will now pre- pare herself for the life of a Religious and will re- ceive the Benedictine habit next June. A Companion A week after Wilma's entrance into the Novitiate a Junior of the A.I.C., Margaret Rose Walsh, also donned the black cap and cape. The Alma Mater wishes them both God's blessing and much happiness. Our Lady of Grace To remind us that we are always Children of Mary, we have a beautiful statue of the Blessed Virgin, enshrined in a canopy of gold with flowers and vigil lights decorating her throne. The girls have found it a haven of rest from the turmoil of the day. First Sodality Meeting The first oflicial Sodality meeting was held Satur- day evening, October 15. Our Reverend Chaplain, Father William Walker, 0.S.B., blessed the statue of Mary, Our Mother, and thus opened the program. The officers were installed and a prayer was said for the candidates who were to become Sodalists on December 8. Then Father William spoke a few words on how much Mary really means to us. Im- mediately after Rosary and Benediction, the opening meeting was held in the Assembly. It was based upon the Semester Outline. The C. B. C. for the month of October: Virgin, Mary, Mother of Jesus, make us saints, was stressed. The officers and student body seemed very earnest and sincere. Sodality Dance Curlers were taken down, dresses donned and soon everybody was ready for the first Sodality dance of the semester. The dance was held in the Recreation Room, artistically decorated and arranged for the occasion. The girls danced to the music of the student orchestra, composed of Peggy Wissel and Mary Catherine Finis, violinistsg Anne Wissel, pianistg Marian Forster, saxophonist, and Mary Louise Pir- nat, drummer. Betty Lou Miles took the respon- sibility of maestro and led the orchestra through their capers. Betty Alvey and Betty Lou Miles gave their vocal numbers generously. At intermission a floor show was staged in which Betty Ann Smith contributed a novelty tap. Mar- jorie Rietman made a hit with her sweet soprano voice. Ice cream and cake were served after which dancing was resumed until the curfew sent them all scurrying to bed. The dance was opened and ended most appropriate- ly with Mother Beloved. To complete the per- fect picture, before retiring the girls knelt before the statue of our Blessed Mother and recited Night is Falling. The Feast of Christ the King To celebrate the beautiful feast of Christ, the King, a program was given the evening preceding the feast. The statue of the King of Kings was embanked in a bower of flowers. To blend the colors more per- fectly a spotlight was focused on the scene. The Eucharistic Committee, with Geneva Spayd as chair- man, gave an interesting program. Geneva was assisted by Martha Hentz, Emma Jane Parkinson, Mary Schnur, and Betty Braun. After the talks were given the Freshmen and Sophomores took the Pledge of the Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament and received their pins. The Seniors, too, received the Sodality pins, an annual affair looked forward to with great eagerness by them.
