Mass Opens Year In the midst of profound changes in the pastoral philosophy of the Church, in the middle of the second Vatican Council under Pope Paul VI, Loyola resumed classes with the Mass of the Holy Spirit. It was symbolic that she should do so. For Loyola offers the lay Catholic, increasingly important in the role of the Church on Earth, the opportunity to edu- cate his soul as well as his mind. Early fall was also the time for the annual Key and Seal ceremony sponsored by Cardinal Key honor sorority. Each senior coed received a key symbolizing success in the future and each freshman coed a token seal of the university. Daily means to holiness are supplied by noon Mass and through the activities of the three campus sodalities: St. Thomas Aquinas for the undergraduate colleges, St. John Berchman for the college of pharmacy and St. Cecilia for the college of music. Before graduation, Loyolans must com- plete one closed retreat. They needn ' t stop there. Many organizations, including the social sororities and fraternities, have monthly Mass in Holy Name church for their members. Mass and Communion is also a feature opening Homecoming. Many Loyolans are daily Communicants Noon Mass in Holy Name church provides a brief retreat from the hectic scurry of campus life
