Sodalit While J. Dillon and M. Sexton sort back issues of maga- zines, Sister Tarcisius see to it that E. Spengler and V. Iafallo trim postage stamps properly. The Senior Sodality pays tribute to Our Blessed Mother. , , ' r M. Sexton and V. Iafallo successfully run another Junior Sodality meeting. The Sodality of Our Lady has helped to moderate our life. For just as an athlete must undergo a period of gradual preparation to compete successfully in a sport, so too a sodalist must have a program that leads her step by step to a life in the footsteps of Mary. In the past year there has been the Junior or Probation Sodality for Freshmen which prepared them for the Senior Sodality which is the full life of a sodalist. Among other good works, the Sodality supplied flowers for Mary's shrine on each of her feasts, purchased books on Mary for Sodality use, conducted drives for religious articles, stamps, etc. to be sent to the missions, and even had an adult Sodalist address the group. Many of the members plan to attend the S. S. C. A. to be held in Buffalo this summer. Yml y . 1

D. Thurston indicates a minor change in the layout to the rest of the CTCW. One of the largest and most active clubs throughout the school, the Press Club, produces our school paper, The Palm, which includes this year a special literary supple- ment of students' prose and poetry. The labors of the Club did not go unrewarded, for this year as in the past years the Club and individual reporters received awards and citations at prominent newspaper and press workshops. Press Club members found creative fun in their hard work this year, while students and faculty found much enjoyment in reading their lively product The Palm. Press Club C. Krause, S. Barret, M. Stiegler, B. Eckert, D. Patton, and M. Remery see to it that copies of the Palm are distributed to the students on schedule. The editorial staff is eagerly working trying to beat the deadline.

Kustreba, M. Connor, R. Zabron, L. Ward, C. Krause, and T. McManus. ' C. S. M. C. In our striving for enjoyment we have not forgotten those people of other lands who do not have the means of enjoy- ment which we possess. The Catholic Students Mission Crusade, under the guidance of Father Ignatius, has kept the students of Baker-Victory mindful of their spiritual obligations. The aim of the C. S. M. C. is to inculcate the missionary spirit into every Catholic student. Although there was no formal membership this year, the school as a whole has ' taken part in the work of the club. Medical supplies were sent to foreign missions, and money from the December bottle cap drive and from collections have been put to good use for the missions. Our chapter of the C. S. M. C. is a part of a world-wide organization which attempts to make the students realize the work of the Church in her missions. Members aid the mis- sions by a better appreciation of missionary problems, a daily offering of prayers, and material gifts. The familiar mission collection during the lunch hour is taken up by G. Riedel with L. Ward, R. Kresconko, R. Zabron, I. Sullivan and A. Jasper contributing to the cause. While Father Ignatius compares bottle caps with Mike Meegan, other mission crusaders busy themselves packag- ing medical supplies.
