Sister Mary Florence, Principal and Moderator, with the help of the homeroom presidents, the Sodality prefect, the CSMC president, the editors of the Fioretti and of Troubadour, meet monthly to discuss and answer the problems or questions of the student body. The purpose of the Student Council is to create a closer feeling among the girls. Throughout the year our Student Council sponsors various activities: in Novem- ber the Senior-Junior Tea, the Faculty Surprise in December, and the Mardi Gras, an annual pre-lenten affair. As Peggy Goodman, Carol Heitzman, and Judith Kaiser select the wrappings for the Faculty Surprise, Joan Bennek and Rosemary Beczkiewicz put the finishing touches on the gifts. i Y , ,, A, N, , . ,, . ,. .,,,,,-c. .... .,.- ..

Une Year With Mary xl'- RlXcRSlDE ALHAINBRA 'ALAC5 To XXIDE UAIXDGR Movie ratings are clearly shown on the Sodality bulletin board designed by Mary Anita Kukla, publicity chairman, as she points out the A-l movies to Judith Ziegler, prefect. Wow are these heavyl exclaims Suzanne Brin s f - Q t Nancy Lemmer, and Judy Gruszynski, as they bring some of the ninety-six Thanksgiving baskets from one of the homerooms. They will be distributed to needy families by the St. Vincent de Paul Society. A living Rosary dedicated to Mary is formed by the Sodality promoters and officers under the shelter of her grotto. We, the Sodalists of St. Mary's are pledged to Mary, our patroness. We participated in many activities in the course of the year and these added to our appreciation of this society. In October, we formed a procession under the shelter of her grotto. The clear night was spotted with our white and blue lights. Hymns sounded through the air and combined to make the feast of the Holy Rosary a living tribute to Mary. During the latter part of November we could be seen tugging anything from cranberries to celery, creating the illusion ofa newly erected A 8. P store. The record-breaking number of Thanksgiving baskets filled proved our generosity and kindness towards those less fortunate than we. We, freshies, were received into the Sodality on December lO. The solemn moment arrived when we recited the Act of Consecration and proceeded to the communion rail to receive our medals. This year our Retreat was changed from January to the last few days before Christmas. With the help of Father Omar Kelly and Father Gor- don Garske, our Retreat masters, Christmas took on a special meaning for us in the light of our recently- explained truths of religion.
