Sodality Program Culminated rf ywfi . Nancy Ziesler, treasurer, and Kathleen Van Handel, happily add the last turkey to a Thanksgiving basket, Barbara Hertz checks the others. V ice-president, while Pretect For every sodalist, the big day of the year was the one on which she solemnly consecrated herself to the Blessed Virgin. lt was the beginning of a new life, a life for which she had prepared a long time. Each week she attended a small sectional meeting, inaugu- rated iust this year, in which problems encountered by the sodalists in following the rules were discussed. In the friendly atmosphere of these meetings, each girl, with the help of the moderator, learned to better un- derstand her vocation as an ex- emplary Christian. Spiritual activities inspired the sodalist with an enthusiasm which showed itself in the many aposto- lates she undertook. Through the efforts of the sodalists, the entire student body was given an op- portunity to share their abund- ance at Christmas and Easter, to spend a study hall in adoration on First Friday, and to participate in Living Rosary in October and the crowning of Mary in May. Sodalists Judith Kai- ser, Judith Wojcie- chowski, Mary Ban- nantine, and Mary Van Beck adore the Blessed Sacrament while participating in the Sodality's First Friday Adoration Program.

CSMC Helped Missions fm, And now we shall have the reports from the committee chairmen states Mary Celichowski, president, as she presides at an all school CSMC meeting. By sharing spiritually and material- ly with missionaries throughout the world and by actively participating in a study club about lay missionaries, the St. Mary's CSMC unit fulfilled its three-fold obiective of prayer, study, and sacrifice. The CSMC officers: Mary Celichow- ski, president, Lorrayne Bukowski, vice-president, Jean Webster, secre- tary, Mary Ellen Reega, treasurer, Charlotte Schultz, medical chairman, Sara Kukla, stamp chairman, and Claudia Gorecki, publicity chairman, under the supervision of Sister Cather- ine Mary, planned and promoted the various activities of the organization. The medicines, which were shipped to Korea, the clothing, used by home missions, and the literature, sent to the Jesuit Fathers in Techny, Illinois, were donated by St. Maryans and processed through the Mission Room by the officers and homeroom pro- moters. The profits from the annual school carnival, the sale of lost-and- found articles, and the collection and sale of stamps are used for the pro- motion of the Catholic faith in mission lands in our country and across the sea. Ship ahoy! Cheer the CSMC officers as they depart for the USA after portraying the life of a lay missionary family in Africa during an all school meeting.
