A boy can be admitted as a permanent member of the Senior Sodality only after having completed a year's training as a candidate and a second year, during which he makes a temporary Act of Consecration to Our Lady, as a probationer. The Sodalist makes his permanent Act of Conse- cration upon admittance into the Senior Sodality, usually in his junior year. The Sodality is governed by a central council made up of the officers and representatives from each lower class.

ilii oys, Choir The Boys' Choir, which was originally started as a project of the Bovs' Sodality, has been in existence only a little over two years, Initiatet. as a unison choral group ,the boys have become well versed in all sorts of church music from simple chant to a cappella polyphony. The group started by singing only at general eommunions of the Sodality. They have since sung at other church services and also on programs for a number of clubs. Although the choir is now independent of the Sodality, still most of the members are Sodalists. 1 E i V First row: Joe Vanderholt, Director, Charles Gujardo, Robert lVIalain, David Browning, Tim Campbell, Bob Shofner, Ronald Thweatt, .lack Dinkins, Jack 'VIcG1nnis.
