20 Grace Needham Mary Columbro Prefect First Assistant Kathryn Mangan Kitty Brady Treasurer Eucharistic Our Lady's Committee Ad Jesum Per Mariamll has been the motto of our Lady's Sodality pervading both spiritual and social activities throughout the year. Since its directorship was taken over by Monsignor Carl E. Frey in l927, it has been the goal of the organization to build future citizens not only for the United States but also for God's Country, Heaven. Spiritual motivation is thus given to all ordinary school activities. This is sustained by monthly meetings pre- pared with Sister Mary Leroy, moderator, and conducted in the auditorium by the Sodality officers. Meetings conducted according to parliamentary procedure include opening prayer, committee reports of past activities, discussions on future enterprises, and a short feature reiterating the main thought for the month. Our Sodality activities are divided among various committees to give concentrated at- tention to their details. The Eucharistic-Our Lady's Committee has charge of all projects relating to Mary and Jesus such as distribu- Margaret Healey Second Assistant Marian Rehor Publicity Manager Bette King Secretary Kathleen Ryan Publicity Manager tion of medals for Sodality Communion every month, and spiritual leadership in the Apos- tleship of Prayer. Under the ward of the Apostolic Commit- tee come such projects as aiding the Social Mission Sisters by teaching Catechism, pro- gramming the Days of Recollection for girls of public schools, and knitting articles for men in the service. The Literature Committee is directly con- cerned with distribution of the Catholic Di- gest and The Queen's Work , the promo- tion of Catholic books for general reading, and the sending of pamphlets to service men. Duties of the Social Life Committee include entertainment at general Sodality meetings, parties for Social Mission Sisters, and main- tenance of the Personality Clinic for Sodale ists. Retreat notes, clever bulletin board dis- plays, and zippy pep talks are taken care of by the Publicity Committee. Working together with the Prefect, all com- mittees echo the motto, To Jesus through Mary.

With prayerful thanks to the moderator, Sister Mary Julian, our Merry Mission workers can sport a calendar of successes. A notable date was the Cathedral Latin, Notre Dame Mission Mixer which put the Home Mission Society on the beam for a check for $59. On a certain Friday, candied apples at- tracted hungry students to sweet lusciousness for only $.05. Broken records played a merry tune for the record time drive in 201. Serv- ice chaplains were grateful for pamphlets, prayer books, and rejuvenated rosaries. So were foreign missionaries for piles of con- celled stomps.

Visions of Christmas candy danced in the heads of Social Mission children after the annual party given by our workers. On March 9, in pre-Lenten festivity, the Victory cake sole bought a bond to be given to the Sodolity. April, May, and June mischievously ran through millions of things to do-all funeoll trained us in loads of waysefor success in friendships, how to be happy in the service of others, the happiness in working for Christ.
