'The New Breed' Motivates Students BEHIND bars discussing SCA are Kathy Knispel, Marie DiYanni, and Jim McDonald. Increased student participation and co- operation in SCA affairs was the goal of the 1966-1967 Student Council Associa- tion. Executive oliicers Tom Romano, Marie DiYanni, Jim McDonald, and Kathy Knispel led the council in its chief function of serving as liaison between students and faculty. The Council's first major project was that of rewriting its constitution. Traditions of open meetings, participa- tion in Student Government Day and Student Council Week were continued. Another responsibility was management of concessions at home games. Through its varied activities the Council hoped to embody the idea of service. SCA ofiicers Kathy Knispel, Marie DiYanni, Jim McDonald, and Tom Romano discuss prospects for the newly adopted constitution. 78

HUMOR and serious meditation are elements for junior sodalists Mary Ann Horvath, Ann Knuth, Sister M. Ruth and Prefect Marian Ameling. Sodalists Perform Apostolic Activit BOOKS: Vietnam! Anne Lanctot, Margie DeMarino, Cindy Dubbs. Sodality, through its influence and instruction, permeates the everyday life of participants. The sophomore Sodality and its moderator, Sister M. Jamesella, travel on Saturdays to Paterson to assist the Reverend Louis Simonet with his newsletter concerning racial brotherhood. Much has been done for the Negro people in the slums of Paterson by Father Simonet. The Sodality has helped by also collecting toys and giving a party for the children. Sophomores provided gifts for a series of bingo games at Greystone State Hospital, and collected stamps for foreign missions. Something new done this year was a week-end closed retreat for the youngest Sodalists. The Junior Sodality, under the direction of Sister M. Ruth, has also put apostolic action to practical use. On alter- nate Saturdays the Sodalists taught arts and crafts to Puerto Rican girls in the parish of the Reverend Richard Grasso in Dover. Christmas caroling was also part of Sodality action. Senior Sodalists, with Sister M. Rene' as moderator, made Christmas a happier day for Marines in Vietnam. Hav- ing a magazine drive, they sent about five hundred pa- perbacks overseas, with a cherry note in each book. Involvement in all aspects highlighted the year for the senior Sodality. Another project carried through was the collection of soap and face cloths for the Carmelite Sisters. Aiding the poor in Appalachia also provided apostolic action. A day at the movies was made possible for the girls of Our Lady of Grace School. With these projects in progress, the senior Sodality also found time to plan the annual Sodality Day for the Paterson Diocese. Action and involvement were the key notes for Sodalists during the year. Along with group action, each girl was encouraged to bring Christ to others in her own way. Sodality works to develop the whole person, and to bring each girl to a personal realization of her part in the imita- tion of Christ.
