SODALITY EVENTS The right and the hardest path is the happy path, with this thought Father Frank McKay, opened the Sodality year September 1954. Succeeding months saw the students partici¬ pating in many and varied activities. Mount St. Francis housed the annual retreat for our stu¬ dents. Father Godfrey conducted the Fifty Golden Hours which were highly appreciated by students of several denominations. November saw the student s busily preparing handicrafts for the bazaar, tea and bake sale, .vith this excellent co-operation the bazaar Turned out to be a wonderful success. At our monthly meeting an impromptu skit under the direction of Sister Violini, starring Father Flem¬ ing and co-starring Misses Holden, Coote, and Tallon, was presented. The feast of the Immaculate Conception saw the reception of thirty-five new sodalists at a very inspiring ceremony. Medals were presented by our chaplain Father Fleming and a sermon fitting to the occasion was delivered by Father Godfrey. One of the preliminaries gowned in white with two senior attendants presented a crown of roses to our Lady. Following this im¬ pressive ceremony, the annual banquet was en¬ joyed by all. Keeping in the footsteps of our annual tradition, a hamper of Christmas goodies and toys was prepared and given to a needy family. The highlight after the January meeting, was a skating party held on our own rink. Cocoa and donuts were served and a good time was had by all. January also saw the beginning of monthly days of recollection under the direction of our beloved Father Timothy. These were held to renew our retreat resolutions, and were continued the second Tuesday of each month. Guest speaker at our February meeting was Rev. Father Malo, former chaplain here. Lenten devotions, daily mass, communion, Way of the Cross, and Benediction were well at¬ tended by the sodalists. At the general meeting in March, new offi¬ cers were nominated for the coming year, Dande¬ lion delegates were chosen and plans were made for the final meeting in April. Members of the sodality would like to extend their thanks to Father Fleming, Sisters Superior, LeClerc, and Violini for their guidance in helping to make this a successful sodality year. We also wish to thank the past executive and ask God ' s blessing on your plans for the coming year. This, Too, Shall Pass Away Paul Hamilton Hayne Art thou in misery, brother? Then pray Be comforted. Thy grief shall pass away. Art thou elated? Ah, be not too gay; Temper thy joy: this, too, shall pass away Art thou in danger? Still let reason sway, And cling to hope: this, too, shall pass away. Tempted art thou? In all thine anguish lay One truth to heart: this, too, shall pass away. Do rays of loftier glory round thee play? Kinglike art thou? This, too, shall pass away. What-er thou art, where-er thy footsteps stray, Heed these wise words: This, too, shall pass away. Take Time Take time to work—it is the price of success; Take time to think—it is the source of power; Take time to play—it is the secret of perpetual youth; Take time to read—it is the foundation of wisdom; Take time to worship—it is the highway to reverence; Take time to be friendly—it is the road to happiness; Take time to dream—it is hitching our wagon to a star; Take time to love and be loved—it is the privilege of the gods.
