Yes, the Sodality sponsored talent show brought out the hidden talent in many a stuttering freshman and suave senior. The Juniors displayed their abilities in a skit about George Gershwin while the Seniors captured their audiences and took them to Grand Avenue, San Francisco to the music ot Flower Drum Song. Missionites displayed equal ability in the art of skating. This annual Sodality escapade brought out the savage qualities in many students who insisted on coming dressed as Frankensteins and dead bodies, not to mention the Mafia who showed up complete with machine guns in the mob wagon- the big, bad, black Willis Knight. These are Sodality Activities'??'? 4- Right: Summertime and the livin' is easy Juniors sway rhythmically to the Gershwin melody in the shade of the old apple tree.

47861654445 afferwe, This year the Boys' Sodality reached its highest mem- bership in the history of the organization. However, in order to form a more workable society, the group was cut to a hardworking few. Led by upperclassmen, the sodality performed spiritual and corporalworksof mercy throughout the school year for the cause of Mary. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, baskets of food and cloth- ing were distributed among the poor families of the archdiocese. Sodalists participated notably at the Union meetings held at Mission and other schools during the year. However, most of the sodalist's energy was devoted to activities at Mission: monthly meetings, the sodality dance and skating party, devotions to Mary, and numerous other tasks-all done for the Mother of God.
