Kelly. ln an effort to make Catholic Stu- dents Mission Crusade more meaning- ful, regular meetings gave way to occasional special meetings planned around guest speakers. ln homerooms, representatives made weekly collections for the missions and ran the annual bandage and stamp drives. A special missionary was assigned to each home- room in an effort to bring the mission apostolate even closer. Correspondence between the missionary and the home- room representative strengthened the ties of local concern and foreign apostolates. SODALITY Robert Kelly President Mary Rose McCarthy Vice-President Carol Hee Secretary Iacques Mauche Treasurer Sister Mary Dorothy Advisor Sodality '68 in its earliest stirrings attempted to form community through the year's activities, making a self- commitment at the Christ the King Mass, the harvest feast.

Planning, ques- tioning, trying the new and different marked this year's efforts. ln February. sophomores were welcomed into the group. ln May, love for the Mother of the Church was reason enough for the annual celebration of May Day, a glorious finale for the year's activities.
