CSMC Encourages Paladin Study Club members, Theresa Straub, Suzanne Wfoods, C1 t Carla Greene, and Suzanne Madden go over their speeches for u the panel discussion on Protestantism in Latin America. Charity Though Immaculata girls have not the time to travel to other lands, their charity, recognizing no limits, is known afar. This year, with trading stamps donated by IHS girls, the CSMC helped three Sisters of Provi- dence furnish a mission school for boys in Peru. Weekly collec- tions and regular stamp drives aid in supporting the missions throughout the world. The Paladin Club acquaints the student body with the grow- ing problems for today's Catho- lics in the world and how to combat these dangers. Through these activities the girls gain a greater love for God while learning to follow St. Paul's words . . but the great- est of these is charity. 52

Sodalit Completes School Profile Immaculata's profile would not be complete without the Sodality. Putting the works of mercy into action, members keep the pamphlet rack in the lounge supplied with latest Catholic reading material, visit orphan- ages and homes for the aged, sponsor clothing and canned goods drives for the poor, and offer opportunities for spiritual enrichment. Together the Sodalists form a nucleus which fulfills the lay apostolate, with the objective voiced in the Sodality goal of bringing themselves and others To jesus through Mary. As Vice-Prefect Beca Martin makes the Sign of the Cross over the public address system, four hundred students begin their school day with morning prayers. 51 Beca Martin, Prefect Maryann YValsh, and Kathleen McCormick pack old stockings to be used as mattress stuffing for the missions one of the many projects sponsored by the Sodality.

JRC member Josephine Cristaldi, a summer volunteer for the past two years, demonstrates one of her daily chores in the hospital. 53 Red Cross Activities Bring Reward and Pleasure After the verb 'To Love,' 'To Help' is the most beautiful word in the world. This fair phrase is an inseparable part of every IHS girlls vocabulary, and she learns how to help through the Red Cross. During the year, the Red Cross collects magazines for patients in nearby hospitals, fills Christmas stockings for less fortunate chil- dren, and donates its dues to send an International School Chest. The pleasure derived from giva ing is a quiet, gratifying one. Knowing that you were needed, that you gave freely as much time and energy as you could, that you were able to help some- one makes the effort worthwhile. Getting the magazines ready to send to the local hos- pitals are Red Cross Oflicers Rosemary Butrico, pres- ident, Barbara Matthews, treas- surer, and Blencla Knott, secretary.
