.Sodality of Our La. 0 The Sodality is an association for those who de- sire to follow Christ more closely within their own state of life. By following the Sodality rules, the Sodalist aims at sanctifying himself and working for the sanctification of his neighbor and the spread of the Catholic Church. ln the summer of l956, the Sodalists attended the Summer School of Catholic Action and returned determined to bring our Sodality closer to the concept of a true Sodality. With this end in mind, the pro- gram was revamped and more emphasis placed on the spiritual development and progress of the members. During a six months probation period, a large group of Freshmen were counselled and instructed by Ed Kurtzke, Ken Meeker and Ted Reinhard, after which they were formally received into the Sodality. ln its active apostolate, the Sodality undertook the annual Mission Dance in the Fall, the Orphanage Christmas Party, as well as attendance at Arch- diocesan Conventions held on the Campus, and a Front Row: R.
