sodality The Sodality, whose aim is tlie fostering of ardent devotion, reverence and love toward the Blessed Virgin Mary, and through her to her son, had a program of activities designed to strengthen the religious devo- tion of its memhers and to have them par- ticipation in the apostolic work of the Church. Under the directorship of the Rev. Thomas J. Higgins, S.J., the moderator of the senior group, the weekly Chapel meet- ings were held, consisting of prayers and meditations on parts of the Holy Scriptures, a weekly Sodality Mass was begun and held on every Friday except the First Friday of each month.

The Sodality sponsored the October and May devotions to the Blessed Mother, which were held here at Loyola. In the line of Apostolic activities the Sodality continued to render assistance at St. Mary’s Villa, as it has in the past, and it combined with the other schools of the College Sodality Union of Baltimore in planning and carrying out parties for orphans at Christmas and Easter times. The activities of the Senior Sodality were ably planned and directed by its officers, George Panzer, prefect, Ralston B.

Tlie work of sliulenl govennneiU usually goes oil (juietly, with no iiewsiiiakiug iuno- valioiis, lull only with steady, patient activ- ity and work towards long-range goals. This was the year’s work lor the Student Council. The four class presidents and representa- tives from all co-curricular activities met every Friday and in a series of minor skirmishes and decisions helped to lay a solid foundation lor the whole concept of student government at Loyola. By present- ing the problems of students and faculty and offering the assistance and opinions of a representative cross-section of student in- terests, a stronger understanding was estab- lished between students and administration, and student cooperation and morale was reinforced, as evidenced in the success of the intramural program, and increased membership in activities.
