The Junior Sodality nr HE members of this spiritual organization were faithful and attentive to A the weekly pledge of loyalty to Mary. The guidance of the Moderator, Father Melchiors, was too splendid to form anything but a successful year. The old members, very early after the commencement of the new year, held a meeting and an election. Worthy members were elected to the important posts of leadership. Their duties were performed with a willing spirit that expressed their earnest desire for a successful year. The Prefect for the first semester was Joseph Cunningham and for the second semester, Wilfred K rebs. During the first part of the year the Moderator delivered brief sermons on the Litany of the Blessed Virgin. Later the officers began a series of short talks. The Sodality owes thanks to our Director and to all those who aided in making our devotion to Marv worth while. May the Sodalities of following years he aided rather than harmed by our example.

Dwyer nplKKK is no better sign of the St. Mary's man's devotion, than his love of the Mother of God. This devotion is due in great measure to the Sodalitv. Through its weekly meetings, ii keeps the great love of the Blessed Virgin and her goodness toward her children constantly before the Sodalist. It is tjie Sodality that is responsible for the large number of daily Communions among the students. This vear. a new program was followed ill the Sunday evening meetings, which has proved most successful. Question boxes were placed in the study hall and in Loyola Hall for any questions on matters pertaining to the Faith, that the students might wish answered. These questions were collected at the end of the week, and were answered either by the director or by the students themselves: thereby giving the sodalist a better and more thorough knowledge of his religion. 'flic number received into the Sodality on the I‘'east of the Immaculate Conception, and the religious fervor manifested during the months of May and October give evidence of the wonderful work the Sodality is accomplishing.

St. Mary’s is proud of her college Acolytes. Faithful to assignments, edifying in their actions about the altar, observant, and willing to make sacrifices in fulfillment of the duties of their office, the members of the college acolythical society have brought upon themselves the most favorable comments.
