Our Clubs B. V. M. SODALITY As a result of Father O'Connell's enthusiastic encouragement, we pupils at Annunchrtion High are active members of our Lady's Sodalrty. This bond being established so firmly while we are still at school will be a lasting link after we have been graduated. Every fourth Tuesday of the month we have a meeting in the new club room of Norwood Hall where we plan projects whose completion and success show that we know how to manage a bake sale, how to raise money and collect gifts for poor children, how to serve a supper to the congregation, and how to hold an old fashioned nickelodeum, and most important how to act as children of a QUEEN. SCIENCE CLUB This club was most active during the first semester. Many trick or novel experiments were demonstrated in the hall for the benefit of the sophomores and freshmen. The president of the club, Mary Louise Onilor, has seine interesting surprises planned tor observation, and the other members of the club are preparing for a science exhibition to be held the first week of June. CATHOLIC ACTION CLUB One of the features of every well organized Catholic High School is a Catholic Action Club. We know that this club has been successful in awakening us to the realization that we, Catholic students, should be lay apostles. Many eloquent conferences were held in behalf of home and foreign missions. Among the first fruits was the great enthusiasms shown at the call et The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine for volunteers to teach Sunday School for the children in distant mining towns and in vicinities where there is no Catholic school. The follow- ing girls who generously answered the call have been remarkably faithful in attending their classes regularly: Margaret Frazier, Jean Vuletich, Maureen Ferguson, Ethel Hergenroeder, Mary Carcara, Catherine Mesonka, Margaret Phillips, Mathilda Weber, Dorothy Vuletich, Bernice Shanahan, Anna Mae I-lergenroeder, Elizabeth Bastetter, Mary Berry, Mary Mill, Olive Blazier, Bita Mack, Mary Nee, Marcella Krance, Loretta McBride, Eileen Davis. Another feature sponsored by the Juniors was to present a Lenten Play, A Ftobe for The King and give the proceeds to the missions. For the past three years our Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament have seen to it that every day one of their members spends an hour with their Eucharistic Friend. LE CEBCLE DE LA JEANNE D'ABC The members of this French club have profited much during the past year by the interest- ing programs presented at their bi-weekly socials. French songs, plays, and dialogues com- prised an enjoyable schedule which was supplemented by a forum which discussed the French civilization, authors, and art. l- COMMERCIAL CLUB The Seniors organized the Commercial Club to arouse interest in the use of good English and to become acquainted with practical business procedure. Under the direction of Mae Cox, the president, the rnemhers presented various programs on the third Friday of each month. These included a series of instructive plays, discussions on business technique, and a few minutes of entertainment. Tl
