QUEEN L SODALITY This is our most honored organization. Its purpose is to honor our Queen, the Mother of God and to serve her other children, those with whom we live. To praise her we meet every week during the year and present our petitions before her throne. When her month comes we build a shrine and keep a constant vigil before it. And all through the month we stand at assembly and listen as one of us speaks her praises. To serve her children we have our Mite Box drives during Lent and Adventg stamps are collected to help her sons and daughters in distant corners of the worldg Christ- mas comes and our Food Baskets go to her chosen ones, the poor. A chaplain writes for religious articles and rosaries, medals, prayerbooks and magazines pour in. June comes and the year of service is done. 18

FRESHMAN SODALITY Lost in the mazes of the Canisius-On-Delaware, this year's freshmen were some- what bewildered by things for the first few weeks: Then one morning the bulletin board bore a sign reading simply, Freshman Sodality, T odayf, Word passed around and that afternoon they stepped into Canisius High's honor society. As the days passed they learned the meaning of membership in 'the Sodality: that it meant a devotion to the Mother of God and dedication to the service of othersg It meant the acquiring of new ideals, higher ambitions than they had ever known before. The year is waning now but the freshmen have learned and kept their tradition well. Wrapping Christmas parcels for the poor, visiting the sick, contributing to the mission drives, collecting religious articles for the boys in service,praying day by day at mass and visit for the peace the whole world wants: All these things have been their training and accomplishment. Mary's sodality is safe in their hands. They have learned the lesson that prayer and service to others is essential to our American way of life. f 20
