, J C7lJUZ57' lilln??' J? Czegf With the Blessed Virgin as the patron saint, the sodality at St. Mary's flourishes under her care. This society helps its members to understand the aims ot Catholic education and Cath- olic action, and it fosters a love and devotion to Our Blessed Mother. Under the capable leadership of Sr. M. Teresine, as moderatorg Thomas Walsh, presidentp Mary lohnson, vice- presidentg Dorothy Antil, secretaryy and Patrick West, treasurer, the sodality is one of the most active organizations in the school. Soon the day arrived,fthe day every senior is in his glory dictating to the treshies. For that day, the seniors are kings and queens! The freshmen bowed at their slightest wishes. Thus, initiations began. Cn December 8, the feast ot the Immaculate Conception, the agonies of the initiation were ended as the treshies were tormally received into the society. Following the ceremony, the entire sodality enjoyed the second annual Communion Breakfast. Throughout the year, in keeping with the religious spirit, attendance at the monthly Com- munion is emphasized. Although the main purpose of the sodality is to honor Our Blessed Mother and to promote Catholic action, our social well-being is not overlooked. According to the custom every class has the opportunity to display its talents. Without doubt, orchids should be given to the juniors tor the Cate Tres Chic, especially the Blue Danube Waltz, and the sophomores tor the Fashion Parade. On several occasions Father Horan and Father Bolger gave interesting talks on religious themes. At the last meeting in May, each senior received a sterling silver medal and chain as a parting gitt. i saw? 4: : Qiwftiffif i 2 3 5 3 i 5 Z i s i .,, A-if.X Lett to Right: R. Adams, R. Sheridan, P.

Theresia, made its debut. With the appearance of the Boys' Glee Club and their characteristic interpretation of Mac Namara's Band, the audience was assured that this year's Glee Club was better than ever. Between acts, the familiar strains of Stouthearted Men from New Moon , and l'T'll See You Again from Bittersweet, were very effectively rendered. Having met with so much success at the first performance, the members of the Glee Club began anew to practice diligently for l'Per Annos Day. When that day finally came, the program was topped off by their singing Carefully On Tiptoe Stealing, from t'Gilbert and Sullivan. At the end of each day's practice, spirited song tests were always looked forward to, when the members could sing their own popular favorites. This always served to relieve the tedious routine of practicing. Then the stage was set for the closing event of the yearef- graduation. lt was with the greatest of care that the selections for this occasion were chosen. Soon voices were blending harmoniously to the melodies of My Hero from the Chocolate Soldier and Victor lslerbert's composition Gypsy Love Song. As the last notes faded, the Glee Club members stored away memories of one ot their most successful and happy years. E273
