1- 'W . f As the individual teen-ager's thoughts project into the near future and his role in life becomes apparent, he seeks to grasp some one solid foundation on which to build for the futur e . 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.

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.
