Father Leo Gerrity. C.P. Retreat Master Philip Dukes, Michael Tango, William Dowd, Michael Polny, Robert Baker, Chris McGowan. Retreat Our annual retreat took place Ianuary 27, 28, and 29. Needless to say, our retreat was by far the most important of all our school activities. We received much sound advice, for which we will always be grateful. Now We are much better equipped to face life's problems, having combined our spiritual education with our scholastic pursuits. May the Crucifix ever remind us of our retreat in 1958. To be worthwhile Catho- lics we must hearken to the voice of our Divine Master who says, If any man will be my disciple, let him deny himself and let him take up his cross and follow Me. Entire student body listen attentively as Father speaks to them. Honor Guard To be a member of the Honor Guard is a privilege bestowed on few. The seniors who constituted the Honor Guard did a remarkable job. Entering and leaving church was done in perfect order and maximum speed. We feel confident that the entire student body joins us in expressing sincere gratitude and apprecia- tion. 95

SODALITY The Sodality ot Our Lady is not an organiza- tion but a Way of life. With this in mind, school and church authorities the World over are re- organizing their sodalities. Weekly meetings ot sodalists are held and the practices of Sodality are discussed. The aim of the sodality is to foster in its GIRLS' SODALITY members an ardent devotion, reverence, and tilial love toward the Blessed Virgin Mary, and thereby assist them in becoming good Catholics, sincerely bent upon sanctifying themselves and their neighbor and in defend- ing the Church of Christ against the attacks of the wicked.
