One of our outstanding t r a i t s is that of dreaming--dream golden dreams of noble possibilities as we aspire after the high standards set before us. While our boys have rnain- tained a fine representation in the s po r t s squad, our girls have a c quir e d an extensive knowledge of table setting and serving, and exce ll in dish washing, thus becoming the service squad.

By observing the struggles of the past we learn more to efficiently c ope with the problems of today- always with an open and inquiring mind.

The Student Council is an effective process for accom- plishing this end. It consists of a group of major officers and all the class presidents and vice-presidents as members. These boys and girls are well-grounded in the basic elements necessary for leadership, inte g r i ty , courage, personality, executive ability, tact, ingenuity, and confidence. And what is most important the entire group is filled with an ambition to get the world on fire with the truth that captivates every Christopher. 1 One ofthe rnajor activities initiated by the Student Council this year is the organizing of a properly celebrated Marian Year. With the help and co- operation of the faculty they spon- sored a Marian drive for prayers, d e v o tio n during Mass, rosary at noon, dances, assemblies, raffles, and thus shared in the building of the Marian Shrine in Washington D. C. These Student Councilmerrbers lped to inject the ideas propo ed inthe Student Councilclosed meet lngs into their class andthus per meated the entire s tude nt body with enthusiasm and school spirit, fi,- .K X 4 I 'hlwar W ,I 1 1 I 4' A 'fits-.

The greatest foundation St. Cyril High could provide forits future leaders is the Sodality way of life. Sodalists' gains are both spiritual and mate rial. An individualnot only learns the necessity of good moral standards, but also hasthe opportunitie s to put them into practice. He begins to conside r his spiritual and social duties as a serious obligation and a grave responsibility. But the greate st of these advantages is the fact thatas a sodalistthe individual becomes a Christ bearer, for he lives in imitation of lxiarywho is the greatest of Christophers. She carried Christ in birth, and carried Him in her arms in death, and her every action was directed toward His greater honor and glory. In the eyes of the world she was just a typ i c al human being--no different from the average mother. But in the eyes of God she was blessed among all men. God's specialChristopher, Mary, is the perfect modelfor the youth of allages, particularly this modern era. lt has been with these essentialideals in mind thatthe Sodality of St. Cyril High has .F rf-Z, x. Q' .-. ' C' 1 1- ' X Q w .. I-: , XT, ZA x R 'C 1 ,V , . 'fiza.ii ' IN fostered sanctification of oneself and of one's neighbor by means of group teams. The spiritualaspect of Sodality life are fostered by the efforts of the members of the Eucharistic and Our Lady's Committee who choose the Sodality motto To Jesus Through Mary as their aim. The Apostolic Committee has responded to the needs of the mission fields , while the Catholic Truth Committee perform their mission work on the homefront by circulating worthwhile literature. Not all the efforts of the Sodality tend toward the spiritual side. The social life of a sodalist is encouraged by the Social Committee through the medium of parties and other types of entertainment. The Publicity Committee has the job of advertising all the pro-jects of the entire Sodality. Co-operation be twe e n these groups form a strong union and a strong Sodality. Thus, the Sodality provides a means to keep busy and an opportunity to become a good leader. As the sodalist will walk from the doorway of his youth through the archway ofadult life on graduation day, he will take with himself a good education, a thorough knowledge of his faith, and a determination to keep the Torch of Truth ever burning, Mr, Peck of U. of D. , addre ssing the Sodality. Members of Our Lady's Committee put finishing touches on the stage prepared for a symposium honoring Maryin the Marian Year.

Although he be- M lieves the man innocent, he obeys, and he also tosses dice for the simple homespun Robe which the Galilean wore. He wins and gives it into the charge of his faithful Greek slave. But from the moment the slave, Demetrius, touches the Robe, he feels a mysterious pow- er latent in it, and he tries to prevent his master from putting it on at a banquet for the amusement of Pilate and his guests. Marcellus angrily s trike s his slave for his impudence and puts on the Robe. Thereafter he becomes a desperately trouble d man, so that even though permitted to return to Rome, whe r e his family and the girl he loves await him, he is restless, tr ouble d and obse s s e d with thoughts of the Ga li le an and the persecuted Christians. He turns more and more to the Galilean, but hesitates at accepting Him as Divine , until at last, his eyes are opened, and in a final scene of tremendous emotion and power, he ac c e pt s death for himself and his young wife rather than renounce his faith, Trumpeteer, . .
