We have been very successful this year in all we have undertaken and we can really feel as though we fulfilled our duties as members of a universal Sodality. The next year's chapter we are leaving many new ideals and customs to carry on, A great surge of progress towards unity, new ideals and activities were promoted at the Sodality Convention held in West Palm Beach over the week-end of November 30 to December 5. jimmy Galloway, Charles Urruela, Mary Gamble, Gloria Burke, Sterling Decker, jack Hamilton, Patty Kelly, George Lutze, Esther Lucas and Dorothy O'Neil represented St. Patrick's at the convention. They brought back the decisions for sectional meetings and the desire to promote the practice of mental prayer. As to each group activities and doings concerning the discussions, we were able to report drives for Thanksgiving that were above expectancy. Those for the other occasions of the year have measured up equally as well, The spread of Catholic literature was ac- complished mainly through getting subscriptions for the Florida Catholic and by them providing public libraries and orphanages with Catholic literature. We also participated in collecting clothing for the poor and alms and stamps for the missions. Our meetings have held the attention of the Sodalists with interesting talks and discussions. Some of the members presented a skit on the life of Saint Thomas Aquinas and so supplied an excellent diversion to our regular meetings. And I am sure settled in our minds a delinite idea of St. Thomas' true character. The Sodality also held social functions such as its dance at Thanksgiving, admit- tance being any canned goods to be used for the Thanksgiving baskets. And so we leave to the future Sodalists our place as members of the Sodality in the hope that they will find similar inspiration and consolation while following in the footsteps of our Blessed Lady. -MARY GALfBLE '40 Page Fo-rty-four

Cgfle tgunlor-csjenlor prom fISREGARDING the precedent set by former classes, the Junior Class of this year held the prom in the Viennese Room of the Roney Plaza Hotel instead of the Palm Gardens. It proved a lovely setting for the grand time enjoyed by all who attended it The girls automatically were considered beautiful young ladies in their glorious array of multi-colored gowns, contrasted with the manly black and white which pre- dominated in the boys' dress. We wish to thank the juniors for this memorable evening which we believe to have surpassed all former Proms and which future juniors will find difficult to equal. -DOROTHY O'NEII.

JAMES GALLOWAY COLLEEN BRESLIN JEAN Nomus MARY GAMBLE ROBERT SMALL JAMES ROSSIGNOL WILLIAM BOYLE RICHARD BRONNER PAUL SUTTON S the Patrician goes to press, it is almost unnoticed in the hubbub of excitement going on in the Senior Class. Mirrors are covertly brought forth with which to record facial expressions and every tone from a high soprano to a basso profundo can be heard in the halls. We are learning to walk and talk for in a few weeks the Senior Class will present its version of that famous comedy The Hottentotf' The plot is a clever one, mainly concerned with the trials of one Sam Harrington to win the heart of Miss Peggy Fairfax. After a series of surprising events and a multitude of chuckles, Mr. Harrington finally suc- ceeds and the curtain closes on a happy ending for all. -Page Forty-three
