their officers Chuck Sevilla, Boyd Fot- trell, and Pete Keegan, they instituted several new practices. The group was divided into cells. Each cell had a weekly meeting with the Moderator and a regular day for attending Mass and receiving Holy Communion in ad- dition to the general Sodality Mass and Communion each Friday. Besides, the Sodalists gave talent shows for the aged, taught catechism to children, sponsored the Mission drive, and pro- vided food baskets for the poor. Mention must also be made of Mr. Olivier's freshman Sodalists who dis- tinguished themselves while taking part in all the activities of the parent Sodality.

Reception Ceremony In a world where evil and materialism are rampant, a necessary part of Cath- olic education is the spiritual training of a select group which will act as the vanguard in a movement back to God. At St. Ignatius this part is filled by the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Sodality's aim — the imitation of Christ through Mary—is achieved partly by a systematic program of pray- er, spiritual reading, and examination of conscience; partly by taking an ac- tive part in help ng others lead more spiritual lives. The Sodalists at S.l. can look back on an enjoyable and successful year. Under their Director Fr. O'Rourke, their Moderator Mr. Straukamp, and SODALITY SENIOR SODALISTS Hayward, A. Sullivan, K.

BOTTOM ROW: Lu;an, Coleman, Mr. Keith, S.J., Sullivan (President!, Mr. Hogan, S.J., Zurcher, Bianco. Under the leadership of Mr. Keith and Mr. Hogan the S. I. Chapter of the National Foren- sic League is the largest and one of the most successful in Northern California. The national head of the League personally presented the school with a plaque for being the leading Chapter in Northern California in 1952. Among the more notable successes of the year were Bob Bianco's second place in oratory at Oakland, John Coleman's first place in ora- tory and Lou Zurcher's and Gerry Glass's first place in debating at Ripon; and the winning of the sweepstakes in the Merced tournament, a team victory. In an American Legion contest for San Francisco, Sullivan took first place. Later, Santa Clara University, host to 31 schools from all over California, awarded the first place in extempore speech to Coleman. As this book goes to press Bianco is advancing in the Lions Club competition, having won his first three eliminations. Hopes are high for further suc- cesses this year, while prospects for the future are bright indeed since all the members will return next year. N.F.L. Bob Sullivan, President
