I'm just a freshman, starting high school, hut Dad is interested in my school. In September, when the Fathers Club had their Welcome Night. Dad took Mom down to school and introduced her to other Fathers Club members, their wives, and to some of my teachers. Mom and Dad still talk about the good time they had. On the first Sunday in November, Dad and I went to the Fathers Club Communion Mass in St. John’s Cathedral. It was a snowy morning, the streets were bad, hut we made it all right. Afterwards we had breakfast together at the Hollcndcn Hotel and heard Judge MacNamee speak. The fellows were all there with their dads. Mom and Dad went down to school again in February for a card party which the Fathers Club sponsored. The Scholarship Drive began in March and Dad worked awfully hard selling raffle hooks himself and getting his friends to sell them. Hut he said it was a good cause and wished he could do more. Like 1 say, its been twenty or thirty years since Dad graduated from high school, hut he certainly takes an interest in my school. 16

 our Lady beckons We freshmen found the Sodality at St. Ignatius the kind of organization that helps you get to Mass and Communion oftencr, say prayers better, and be a better man all around. lot of us joined the Freshman Sodality which prepares you to be received into the Senior Sodality. Fr. W. B. McMahon, S.J.. and Mr. J. E. Chambers, S.J., ran the meetings for us ami explained the rules. One of the biggest activities connected with the Sodality during the year was the annual retreat, which we made with the sophomores. Fr. L. Kaluzsa. S.J.. was our retreat master. F.ach day we went to Mass and Communion, made spiritual reading, and had talks from Fr. Kaluzsa in St. Mary’s Church. The silence and recollection were new to us and somehow wonderful.
