THE SODHLITV ARIOLOGY, a study of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was the topic of interest for more than eighty Senior Sodalists. At weekly meetings, presided over by Martin O'Donnell, prefect, different aspects of Mary's life and virtues were discussed and the sodalists became better acguainted with the beautiful history of her feasts. Due to this interesting study, the boys, under the direction of Rev. Leonard Fee, S,M. advanced in knowledge and love of Gur Lady. The Sodality, for the first tirrte added the duties and work of the C. S. M. C, to its regular activities. In the lower divisions the boys studied Filial Piety and gained a more understanding viewpoint of Qur Lord's love for His Mother. ln the way of material- istic worlc, they arranged and had bound every issue of the Marianist , the Sodality Weekly. A successful year of activities was clirnaxed by a convention on May 5. Delegates from all School and Parish Sodalities were present. lt was inspiring to see this active gathering of Catholic Youth convened for the sole purpose of spreading devotion to Mary lntrnaculate.
