Consisting of skits, discussions, and talks, the meetings are designed to lead the members to personal holiness and zeal or apostolic work. Thirty-eight new members were received into the Sodality by Msgr. T. L. Keany, director of the organization, on December 5. A regional Sodality convention, conducted by Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. I., and Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J., on February 7, was the main activity of the year. The convention was attended by approximately 700 delegates from thirty-two Arkansas schools. Projects sponsored by the Sodality included the adoption of a missionary priest in India, contributions to the fund for relief to the children of Europe, Christmas baskets for the poor at the Confederate Home for the aged, promotion of sale and distribution of Catholic literature, and study of Braille for the purpose of transcribing short novenas and prayers for distribution to the Catholic blind. Each class sponsored a special Sodality activity for the purpose of raising funds to send dele- gates to the Summer School of Catholic Action in St. Louis. Q Q
