' We are all greatly interested in the work of the Schubert Club, although some of us wish that the art of music could be well mastered without long hours of prcatice. Exercises do not al- ways appeal as much as ragtime, and it is not easy to keep to the sonata pitch. However, we keep steadily on, having as our aim the thorough understanding of good music and, who knows, but even now we are sheltering among us some rising genius, who will one day flash, meteor-like, across the musical heavens and thus bring to fame the Schubert Club of St. Genevieve's? ' Miss Elizabeth Hendricks, one of our members, who has been specializing in Music, is now prepared to receive a cer- tificate for the Teachers' Course. We are all anticipating with pleasure the final recital which she will give during Commencement Week. We now add the programme which she and Miss Willie Carter gave with such success, when each received a gold medal: PIANO RECITAL Given By MISS WILLIE CARTER AND MISS ELIZA- BETH HENDRICKS Assisted By MISS FRANCES STANTON, Violinist and the VOCAL CLASS OF ST.

The Rt. Rev. Leo Haid, D.D., O.S.B., Bishop of North Carolina, in giv- ing his kind approval of its establish- ment, authorized Rev. Albert Goetz. O.S.B., our present chaplain, to act as Spiritual Director. Madame Gannon was named Prefect. On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, 1911, each of the twelve charter members fervently recited the Act of Consecration and re- ceived the medal and blue ribbon, the insignia of the Sodality. Since then, two solemn receptions have been held each year, in December and May. After the ceremony, which is always beautiful and impressive, the newly received members are entertained at a banquet. On the second Sunday of each month, which is known as Sodality Sunday, the Children of Mary, wearing their medals and blue ribbons, receive Holy Commun- ion in a body, and meet in the afternoon at St. Genevieve's to discuss matters concerning the Society. Madame Gan- non presides over this part of the meet- ing. She not only helps and encourages us in all our undertakings, but takes a special interest in each individually. The Rev. Director, who has always been most zealous for the welfare of the Children of Mary, gives a spiritual con- ference at each of these meetings. In addition to the monthly gather- ings, Rev. Mother Lorin often calls the Sodality together for a heart to heart talk, for with true loving insight she knows what we need most. Each year she arranges for a retreat to be given during November, where all the Cath- olics who wish may have the oppor- tunity of hearing the sermons and re- ceiving the advice of such holy and emi- nent men as Rev. John O'Rourke, S.J., of New York, and Rev. A. Bievir, S.J., of New Orleans. The Children of Mary always have been prominent at these services, and have put their library at the disposal of the younger Catholics during these days. On the 8th of December, 1916, we celebrated our Wooden Jubilee. It is interesting to know that on this our fifth anniversary we welcomed fi-nu new mem- bers, thus making our number sixty- just fi-rr times the original twelve mem- bers. Invitations had been sent to the first members who had left the school, and all united in offering an organ to the chapel in memory of our beloved Mother Deplanck, under whose wise guidance we were first established. The enter- tainment after the ceremony was more elaborate than usual, and all contributed towards making this day the most en- joyable in the history of the Sodality. R. STELLING, President.
