...,i. SUIJALITY THE SEMINARY SODALITY All for Jesus through Mary. St. Louis De Montfort fully lived these words and the sodality of Our Blessed Lady tries to follow his example. The special veneration of Mary is an age-old tradition among Poles. Because of this, Mary has time and again protected her children in time of peril. Mary sheltered the Child Jesus in Her loving armsg in like manner she protects her servants when adversity waylays them along the journey of life. Thus through the Sodality the sodalist draws nearer to the everlasting protection of Our Blessed Mother. Officers: Moderator: Rev. A. Maksimikg President: M. Wieczorek: Vice-President: S.

Every student of St. Mary's fully realizes the truth of these words and earnestly tries to show forth the love and devotion of which She is deserving. The Sodality aids him to discover how Mary fits into the Divine plan of redemption. Through its activities, meetings, and discussions the members acquire a more ex- tensive knowledge of their faith, especially in so far as the practical aspects of it are concerned. The program of activities is always an ambitious one and extends from September to May, requiring the cooperation of every member at all times. Officers: Moderator: Rev. J. Swastekg Prefect: R.

BAND Composed of musicians from all three schools on the campus and under the baton of Fr. Henry Warakszi, the band manifests its musical skill on a number of occasions, but primarily during the Yul'etide season and at the annual Spring concert. This young group of musicians gayfully imparts a spirit of symphonizing good will into the hearts of its listeners. A successful performance is al- ways its aim and achievement. Each of the mem- bers from flute to tuba, from drum to clarinet, always gives his all to continue a tradition of ac- complishment that is unrivalled in thc musical an- nals of Orchard Lake. Frequent and regular prac- tices, though time consuming and sacrifice de- manding, bring about the required perfection of execution that distinguish this body and evoke the enthusiastic reception which always comes its way.

HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB The members of St. Mary's High School Glee Club impart an added cheerfulness to St. Mary's Campus through their melodic interpretations of popular and religious music.
