Among the year's proiects were the slips circulated previous to retreat containing food for thought and the campaign for each girl to keep a retreat notebook. At the turn of the third quarter, serious consideration was given to the study of the rule book of the Sodality and the true meaning of the term sodalist. The Parent-Daughter March Sodality meeting at which mothers, fathers, and their daughters of Mary joined in a discussion of the Christian family was among the most popular events of the year. Hostess to the North Side eliminations for the third annual Cisca Variety Show, lm- maculata was among the eight winning schools representing the North section at the Morrison Terrace Casino on April 29, 30, and May T, with a minstrel group called The lnklings. Later in the year the Sodality staged a variety show of its own. PAGE 89
