6 omra ed ofmar ,cgnxd j!cLng6 Cisca Bull Sessions on Thursday afternoons rea:hed a new height of popularity in discussing the topic ot the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy and their practical application in school life, but the Junior Spiritual Council, too, had a busy season as attendance at Tues- day meetings zoomed. Highlighting the year's social activities was the junior pre-Lenten bene- fit dance, the proceeds of which were contributed to the Austrian relief fund. Junior Sodality officers entertained the senior officers at a farewell party in May.

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

wa5af,!wha.Sie-- gfgmx Every student at Immaculata is a member of the American Junior Red Cross unit, established in 1929. This year, with peace-time demands increasing, the work of lmmaculata's unit has been more urgent than ever before. Nutrition and Accident Prevention classes provided ever-timely in- formation. Holiday seasons were convenient assembly clays for international gift boxes ot toys and necessities as well as baskets of food tor the needy at home. The heroic records ot hospital- ized veterans were not forgotten. Christmas decorations, seasonal menu covers, games, cartoons, afghans, and books were sent to them at intervals throughout the year. Generous contribution to the National Red Cross Drive came trom the Lenten self-denial of mem- bers. There was time, too, for the practice of the social virtues at a Christmas tea, otticers' mid- year and spring luncheons, and a coketail party in June.
