ULU' If the world is ever to be led back to God and the joys of peace, it will be through the intercession of Mary. Because of this, it has been one of the long- standing traditions ofthe Servants of Mary to establish Sodalities of Our Lady in the schools they foster. Through the Sodality a great opportunity is offered to employ the lessons of Christian virtue which are taught in the classroom and also a firm, unceasing devotion to Our Lady and her Seven Sorrows. With Sister Mary Celeste, O. S. M. as faculty moderator, the Sodality has become a spiritual force at Servite--constantly emphasizing the importance of a deeply Catholic way of life. Chosen prefect was Richard Padgett, assisted by Betty Marrone as vice prefect, Marilyn Browning, secretary, and Robert Bush, treasurer. The climax of the year's Sodality program is the Crowning of Our Blessed Mother by the senior class president on Marian Day. The first day of May is set aside in a special way at Servite--all classes, all activities center around Mary. gg' F 7 is I .3 N 'Z 1 T N Q ,. 1 4 I 9, . ., -5 xiii l..Av fu' 'L--f . 5 I I . 5 .

64 air The choir ranks mightily among the list of extra-curricular activities at Servite Sister Mary Cecil , O S M pioneered the . y . . . vocal department away back in the freshman and sophomore years. For the past two terms, Sister Mary Germaine, O. S. M. has undertaken the leadership of this musical domain. Yearly, the choristers were delegated to sing at the Solemn High Mass on Christmas Eve and on Easter in addition to their weekly High Mass in the lower church on Wednesdays. Male members were admitted to the choir's ranks at the beginning of the junior year ,and have added a valuable masculine depth to all choral arrangements. As the school's various depa.rtments progressed, and programs were scheduled, the necessity ofa school band was not ignored. There were in the student body many talented musicians. Sister Mary Celeste, O. S. M. instigated recruits for musical instrument artists and found these promising musicians. Band instructions were arranged whereby the talent was afforded opportunity to expand. To date, the music-mongers have performed on numerous occasions. f f ff N T ' L 6 I LE' - ' 35 'im' ' i, Wgmamuiisi an g' wif e. ing 1 W MCIQJ 41
