At this time every Tuesday afternoon, Sodality officers and committee heads gather to plan the forthcoming meet- ing and pray for its success. In order to vitalize the spiritual life of the stu- dents, Our Lady's Sodality, through its various committees, has conducted many affairs. Among them were the Father-Daughter Dance and Hal- lowe'en and Christmas Parties. The active coopera- tion of officers and participating members has effected successful weekly religious and business meetings. Varied projects such as an honesty cam- paign, forums, plays, pilgrimages, held the interest of the girls while supplementing their spiritual life.
