Our l.ady's Sodality of St. Joseph has played a promi- nent part both in spiritual and social activities. Presiding officers of the year were: John Sopcak, Pre- fectg Anthony Gembrowski, Vice-Prefect, Marie Pietrzak, Secretary, Richard Bricault, Treasurer. Due to the many proiects undertaken so ably by the various committees, the year was successful. Our Lady's Committee, under Carmen Hoffman' sponsored the Ani- mated Rosary and the Crowning of the Blessed Virgin to promote devotion to Our Lady. The Publicity Committee driectecl by William O'Brien, publicized latest Sodality news and social entertainment through clever bulletin board dis- plays. Under the guidance of Russell Bostwick, the Apostolic Committee fulfilled its purpose through the instructions ,they rendered to less fortunate Catholic students not attending Catholic schools. The Vocational Guidance Committee with Josephine Escalera as its leader, devoted its time to analyz- ing vocations and aiding the students to follow their voca- tion. All activities relating to devotion to Christ in the Blessed Sacrament was the work of the Eucharistic Com- mittee headed by Joyce Pickelmann. A special feature ob- served by all high school students was the Golden Mass. The Catholic Truth Committee under the direction of Nick Vescio promoted reading of Catholic periodicals and books.
