To Jesus-Through Mary. iIt is everyone's desire to reach heaven and the Sodality, in its motto, points the Way. VVhat mother will not aid her children in attaining happiness? How much then will Mary, the most perfect mother, do for her sodalists in achieving perfect happiness? Towards this end the Sodality seeks first, personal sanctification and then sanctification of our neighbor. Reverend Thomas A. Duross, SJ., our new moderator, helped outline a pro- gram. Alternate Friday nights were selected as meeting nights while other Fri- days were to be nights for Benediction. Father Duross gave Benediction in the chapel at 5:45 P. M. for all students and attendance was gratifying. Friday nights upon- which meetings were scheduled, talks were given by either our Prefect, john Straton, Father Duross or a guest speaker. One of the most interesting talks of the year was that given by Reverend Francis E. Toth, SJ., moderator of the Sodality of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. Father Toth told, from personal experience and observation, of the taking over of Hungary by the corri- munists, its effect on the people and the economy of Hungary as a whole. An idea of the range of the Sodality discussions can be had from noting that they ran from communism, a world problem, to marriage, a personal vocation. The Sodality, however, did not confine its activities to within the school hours. The Mission Dance, one of the biggest social events of the school year, is supported and owes no small measure of its success to the efforts of the sodalists of all the sodalities of the School of Business. The proceeds from this dance go towards the support of the Jesuit Missions. The activity of the Sodality reaffirms the Fordham ideal, directing our atten- tion towards personal holiness through the imitation of Mary in devotion to Christ, her Son.
