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.

Ad Altcwe Dei Another year has passed and again the mass servers of St. Mary's parish have shown their loyalty and devotedness as Knights of the Altar and of Christ. As the senior members of this privileged group leave school they recall the many times they have stood side by side with the priest before the altar of God. It is with feelings of deep regret and reluctance that these older boys give their places in the sanctuary to new members. They have experiencd true joy in being present at mass and occupying a position near the altar, when at holy mass Christ descends to earth. Well may the heart of the faithful mass server beat with joy and exultation when he joins the priest in the opening prayers of the Mass: I will go to the altar of Godg to God who giveth joy to my youth.
