America has been fostering talent for years. The long period of incubation has ended. The seeds have sprouted. The first buds have appeared. Mlithin the next few years we may confidently look for the greatest flowering of musical expression that the world has ever known. ln joining the Glee Club we feel we are contributing something to the modern and classical interpretation of tnusic. Group singing always brings about a feeling of good will and cooperation from all concerned. lt enables us to make our way through the great musical world and gradually get acquainted with the works of the masters. Through the untiring ellorts of our advisor we have attempted to reach this goal. For the past few years we have been one of the outstanding organizations of the school. The melodious notes of harmony are heard frequently through the halls while we, for many hours, tediously work to keep that standard that has been said of us in previous years. X'Vith Margaret Tumblety, hl0, an excellent and enthusiastic conductor, the Clee Club maintained and advanced its reputation. Un Thursday afternoons for the past few months we have been rehearsing for our Grand Finale which will be presented the latter p2ll'I of May. Our repertoire for this year has included the following works: 1. May TJZIllC'C'-I,Ilc'UHII'. 2. Moonlight Nfeadows-Czilullm. gg.

:EVERY Sodalist holds this hymn with such reverence and love that its place in our Year Book seems as natural as the times it has been sung at our countless Sodality activities. It exemplihes perfectly the Catholic Action motto, Ad Jesum per Mariamf' In later years when we open this book and read the words of the hymn, what memories of our Sodality it will recall! The Living Rosary, our Sodality Benedictions and many meetings, Retreat, and the May Procession will pass before us, making us realize the great privilege of being a child of Mary. As Sodalists at The Mount , we have tried to show that we are aware of the primary reason of the Sodality by faithfully attending the monthly Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament and the bi-monthly Sodality meetings. At these meetings, the chairmen of the various committees gave short reports. Among these speakers were the Misses Marie Morrissey, Anna Mfalsh, Louise Mahoney, Muriel Mack, Virginia Harrison, and Margaret Hickey. The secretary of the Sodality, Miss Margaret Mahoney, has carefully kept the notes of these reports. The work of Miss Marie Glynn and Miss Stella Rudack, co-chairmen of the Publicity Committee, in publishing Our Lady's Page has been deeply ap- preciated. VVe have endeavored to show our appreciation by supplying them with original material to print every week. As a mission activity for the month of May, a stamp crusade was initiated by Miss Eleanor Quinn. An envelope was pinned on the Sodality Bulletin to receive the stamps. The girls, realizing the dependence of the Mis- sions on the sale of canceled stamps, gave generously. One of the most important guests who spoke to the Sodality this year, was the Rev. Richard L. Rooney, SJ., who explained the position of women in the world today, as compared with their condition before the time of Christ. Another distinguished visitor was Father McDermott, Maryknoller, who told us about the work of the missionaries in China. On the social side of our calendar, we have been enjoyably busy. Some of our more important activities have been: the Skating Party for all the Boston Sodalities at the Winter Gar- dens, the Dialogue Mass and Com- munion Breakfast, the Sodality Dance at Boston College High School, our own Sodality Play at Christmas and the afternoon social, held at The Mount. The climax of our Sodality Year was the May Procession. This year, as in previous years, the girls of the school presented to Mary Immaculate 53 the choicest flowers in her Sonis earthly garden, hoping that she would choose all of them as her favorites and would enrich the givers with blessings, which only Mary can obtain for us from her Divine Son.
