2 0 'U I 8 K . U' i-X.-X Hi I -3 il Monsignor Walsh, himself an ar- dent devotee of devotion to the Mother of God, provides an in- spiration to the aspiring Sodalists of Mary as well as to the senior altar boys James Burke and James Adler. Enrolhnent in the Sodality, an honor coveted by all new students at St. Mary's High School, is here realized by these fervent fresh- men as Monsignor Walsh performs the simple but impressive cere- mony. The Vice-prefect of the Class of 19 56, Barbara Wolosz, assisted by Secretary Cynthia Matthews and the court crowns the statue of our Lady in the traditional May cere- mony at St. Mary's Church. -I 'J 2 s, Dedieating urse ves to Mar Our Lady, guide to our Eternal Goal, in- spires us in our various Sodality activities. Each month, as we receive her Son into our hearts in corporate Communion, there is instilled deeper into our minds the con- viction, Ad Jesum Per Merriam. This year, Mary's Sodality has meant even more to us since Bette Anne Gargiulo has added to our knowledge of the true meaning of the life of a good Sodalist. The awe-in- spiring May crowning is our final tribute to Mary's Glory. fy 'Ill Q .-S 'vi ui .1 'c J.. 3 ...-, . v
