V Synopsis The Upper Room is the story of the last hours of our Savior. lt rc-Creates for us the atmosphere of love and sorrow which settled over the friends and disciples of Christ like a heavy mantle. Contrasting deeply with the sorrowful atmosphere of the holy play is the queenly presence of Our Blessed lllother whose poignant sorrow is the central point of the play. The historical accuracy of the scenes follows the Gospel narrative extremely closely. 35

wr Laclyls Sodalit Our Catholic ideals and aspirations are ever allied with the great papal organization-the Sodality of Our Lady in which We were privileged to hold a four- year active membership. The purpose of the Sodality, namely, sanctification of self and others and the prop- agation of the Church on earth, was the theme of the weekly meetings. During the scholastic year of 19.1.5-46 while six members of the Class of '46 held major offices or committee chairmanships, the enthus- iasm of the Sodalists expressed itself in the following Kathleen Loutsch Ray Wersinger projects: purchasing five art pictures 'of the Madonna for St. Mary's Schoolg erection of a large Christmas Crib for the parish chapelg compilation of a Sodality Manualg purchasing Catholic books for the Public Libraryg suppiying Sodalists in service with literature every month. And now, more than,ever, we prize our Sodality's motto: Once a Sodzilist, always a Sodalistg Once a Sodalist, a Sodalist always.
