The Sodalit ln our four years at Bayley we participated in many activities which advanced our development as mature and worthwhile persons. ln this new-found maturity, lnnvcvcr. we now realize that no activity was so satisfy- ing as Hur l,ady's Hodality for the Sodality is a way ol' life. We felt its inlluence in every phase of student life at Hayley. Its spirit will remain with us always. The Sodality was personal with each ol' us, for its aim is to attain sanctitication through devotion to Mary. Guiding ns in our continuous efforts at self-improvemcnt was our director, Sister Anne Marie. The Central Council., Gregory English, Prefectg Sally Scully, Vice- l'refect: Antoinette Murphy, Secretary: and Burke McAteer, Treasurer: planned and conducted the activi- ties of the Sodality. The group of poxlulanls and llUt'll'l'S who were guest speakers al the Rally. T .w rrv.-:II One of the prime duties of the Central Council was to maintain a proper balance of activity among all branches of the Sodality apostolate and to coordinate the various activities of the Soclality, Realizing that Sodalists have duties to others as well as themselves, we all hacked the Mission Committee in its projects. The Eucharistic Committee by preparing the altar for First Friday Mass, and Our Lady's Committee by reciting the Rosary over the l'.A. system in October and May, contributed much to our religious life at Bayley. The Social Life Connnittce saw tllat the Sodality was not forgotten in time of recreation and amusement. The great success of the many affairs planned by this com- mittee can he attributed in part to thc Publicity Coni- mittee which labored to advertise all the projects of these Sodality connnittees.

Wlhile the cyes and the ears ofthe nation were turned toward the 1956 Presidential race, Bayley was also in the midst of an important campaign. The ingredients -- promises, bellowing music, catchy slogans, campaign gimmicks, twelve good candidates, and confusion! Mix well and you have a slightly muddled voter striving to make a right and wise choice. To the victors---l'resi- dent Larry Allocco, Vice-President Linda 'l'hurs- ton, Secretary-Treasurer Carol Dorsi-Wwent the serious job of guiding our Student Council through the next year. As we went to the polls on a crisp autumn day we were getting our first taste of democracy in action. During the year, as we saw our home- room representatives speak for us at the Friday afternoon meetings, we became vitally aware of this great principle upon which our country is founded. Wfe also learned through our Student Council that to reap the privileges of democracy we must share its duties and responsibilities. The Council sponsored dances, skating parties, and intra- mural sports, which we suggested through our Representatives. In turn we were asked to sup- port and cooperate with the Council in its vari- ous worthwhile projects. One of the most bene- ficial of these was the organization of a Corridor Patrol. The Council's numerous clean-up cam- paigns met with success, for our pride in the bcautiful school grounds was an incentive to spirited participation. Hoping to initiate a tra- dition, this ytear's Council compiled a handbook of information, on school rules, traditions, and activities which will help to orientate Freshmen and serve as a guide to the general student body. Both in theory and in practice we feel that our Student Council was a manifestation of l95T's strong school spirit. .A 31
