A. and now, in nineteen hundred and twenty-six it has budded and blossomed forth a beautiful flower admired by all. Not a flower to fade away, but one to live in the hearts of every student at St. Louis Academy. It was to attain this goal that our Sorority, the Alpha Gamma Gamma was formed. An organization which has brought that courageous spirit so visible in our class, to a lasting remembrance. Each member of the Sorority will be known by the dainty, rectangular, black and gold pin, bearing the inscription AI'I'. June will bring Commencement and the dissolution of our Class, but we trust that the Alpha Gamma Gamma will ever serve as the vortex around which will How unceasingly the united thirteen of '26, GLEE CLUB .

Preridenz CATHERINE ASMA Vice-Prerident AURELIA STRASINSKE h Secretary EMILEE WAYMAN . . Trearurer The Sodality of the Children of Mary is the most important and most active religious organization in the Academy. Membership is open to all High School pupils. The meetings are held every Thursday morning, when instruction is given, and the Oiice of the Blessed Virgin is recited. The beauty and loveliness of lylay is rightly consecrated to the honor and glory of the Blessed Lady,-for is not the Congregation de Notre Dame her own by many claims? All through its golden days of May her praises are sung. As her month nears its closing, usually, and preferably the last day, a Procession is had in honor of Our Mother. The Children of Mary lead the procession, in which the entire school takes part. The President then crowns our Queen of the May. This time-honored custom is an eventful day in the scholastic year. We choose it to renew our consecration to the Lily of Purity g and how many of us who have not felt that sweet smile of Mary's shining down upon us, lightening our burdens, and banishing our troubles, making May truly the month of happiness.
