wa v? Sf If T ea. The Bazaar now claimed our attention. The Freshmen and Juniors had a table as did the Sophof mores and Seniors. Keen rivalry existed, each team striving to come out ahead.The Sophomore' Senior team won, but the Freshmenfjunior worked hard doing their bit to help the Bazaar to be successful. We all took a lively interest in the traditional custom of caroling during the Yuletide Season. We practiced the carols faithfully and earnestly. Our labors were awarded for on Founder's Day, December 21, our voices rose fearlessly, telling the glories of the newfborn Saviour. This year an added delight took place. A Pageant, in which all the st .idents took part, was presented. We returned after the Christmas holidays all pepped up, but our spirits were soon damped. Exams again! We overcame these with reasonable success and plunged into a whirl of social activity welcoming and supporting all that came along. Bridges, teas, and dances all came in for their share. Commencement Week is another highlight of our Freshman year. We stood awed while those stately Seniors carried through the traditional rite of Commencement Week. We wish these departing Seniors Godfspeed and success in all their future undertakings. Now, at the end of the first year at Good Counsel, we can look back, feeling nothing but pride in our work. We hope that our efforts will be crowned with greater awards, and that as the years pass we prove that we are indeed worthy of our Alma Mater. -E.

One of the most successful Works undertaken by the sodalists was the providing and dis' tributing of Christmas baskets to the needy in White Plains and its vicinity. The radio broadcast in connection with the College Council of Catholic Action, was held on the last Saturday of January over Station WLWL. Among the varied activities instituted by the sodality were the presentation of a midfLenten religious drama, numerous lectures, trips, teas, and socials. h On occasions when permission was granted for exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the sodalists formed a Guard of Honor before our Eucharistic King. During the month of May, that season dedicated especially to Mary, our Mother, and Patroness of the Sodality, daily devotions consisting of the recitation of the Rosary and special prayers, were held before the shrine on the campus, and on the first day of the month the year was brought to an appropriate close with the Hnal reception of new members.
