Lady Of Good Counsel 'Q-qu A lg., With happy anticipation, both Marlene, the Soclality Prefect, and Bernie, the Assistant Prefect, look forward to a successful Sodality year. Their return trip to the S.S.C.A. has prepared them for a year of activities for their sodalists. Go teach all nations. Father Kavanaugh, the assistant director of the Propagation of the Faith, is congratulat- ing our missioners on their excellent job in fulfilling Christ's command. Spiritually speaking, we at St. Marys are ex- tremely wealthy. First, because of the continued presence of Christ in our Chapel: second, because of our fervent Sodality Uway of life . Contrary to previous years, our Sodality is now very active in a material sense as well as a spiritual sense. Our prefect and her assistants carried back a variety of new and interesting ideas from the Summer School of Catholic Action. By being Sodalists we are enjoying all these privileges and are fulfilling our promise to Mary. Through this we are daily advancing along the road Uto Jesus through Mary'.

Judy wants perfec- tion ancl nothing less. These seniors are very proud of the work they have accomplished. Their experiences in cooking will never be wasted. Looking as efficient as a chef, each prepares to demonstrate the principles of cooking now thoroughly mastered. Plans for the annual luncheon are being eagerly discussed. Per- fection is the theme of these eager students. We feel confident all the members of this class have had a well-rounded preparation for life as a home maker or as a career girl. 5 Salt, starch, cake-mix! Carol and Ann, just having re- turned from their weekly marketing tour, are making a quick but thorough check of their purchases. A true economist knows that her marketing isn't complete un- til the supplies are stacked neatly on the shelves. This is a test of their ability to keep a well stocked kitchen.

They wish to dedicate themselves to Jesus through Mary . 0 I WWE 2 ,ay xmas One of the big events in senior year is the day on which the seniors entertain the orphans. The girls are only too eager to share the pleasures of home which they enjoy with those who are less fortunate. Their generosity will long be remembered by their little guests. Our Prefect, Vice-Prefect, and leaders of each Sodality unit talk informally with Father Nagel, our spiritual director. Father visits once a month to offer suggestions to the students to make each one a better person. Father's talks have led us to greater perfection and love of God and His Mother. 1
