Centenary Year--An Active Year For Sodalists Striving for high Catholic ideals, and Mary-like actions in conduct and dress, the students of Sacred Heart J join their efforts in a spiritual organization, the Sodality. The primary purpose of the Sodality is to help Sodalists come a little closer f' to spiritual perfection through the imitation of Mary. Each week the Sodalists gather for their meeting, during which they have reading from the Queen's Work, a national Sodality sponsored magazine. Discussions on current activities are planned and the rules of the Sodality reviewed. Some of the year's highlights are: a thanks- giving basket for a poor family, a spiritual bouquet for the Holy Father at Christmas, the reception of new Sodalists in a ceremony on December 8, and the May Crowning. Faithful Sodalists, Jean Trudell and Janet Klein, play the organ during the reception ceremony. Jean and Janet have played for daily Masses and novenas throughout most of their four years of high TO JESUS THROUGH MARY Frank Kunc assists Fr.

The annual retreat finds Sacred Heart in just that spirit. The students imbibe this atmosphere of medita- tion, prayer and silence. All welcome the op- portunity afforded them to build a stronger foundation for their spiritual life. The students are found in their home rooms read- ing pamphlets and taking notes to refresh their tion. The retreatants were inspired and stimulated by Father DeRose's candid conferences, profound in content. He strongly emphasized the important- ance of good Catholic teen-agers.
