YOUR SODALITY: CATHOLIC ACTIO T T. PHILIP Since its founding fourteen years ago, the Sodality has continued to meet the Spiritual needs of the students. As the school has become larger, so has the Sodality, until at the present time it is divided into four parts, corresponding to the years in school, that it might be closer to the student sodalists who need its help. Under the direction of the Moderators, the Sodality has so broadened its field of activities that it now participates in the activities of Cisca, the Catholic Youth Senate and Congress, the Propagation of the Faith, and the Slimmer Schools of the Catholic Youth Organization. In the School under an Apostical Chairman and his committee there are mission collections, drives for mission prayers, bundles collected for the St. Joseph House of Hos- pitality, and Catechetical instruction. Under the Chairman of the Literature Committee the Sodality maintains a pamph- let library, collects Catholic Literature for distribution espe- cially among those who are shut-ins, and with cooperation of the English Department has a large display in an endeavor to make more students interested in Catholic books. The Eucharistic Committee of Our Lady has for its special work the participation of this school in the spiritual activities of Cisca, the Knights of St. Alexis, and the Blessed Sacra- ment. The Sodality's Social and Social Action Committees have for their objects the participation in those activities of Cisca, in the organizations of the prevue meeting of Cisca, in conducting round table discussions on current topics, the arrangements of any social function that the Sodality has in view, and its newest experiment, the Employment Bureau. When you see the activities mentioned above, one at a time, they are not so impressive, for each one has only a limited number of students who are able to take an active part in its completion, but when these activities are viewed one at a time, it can easily be seen how they reach approxi- mately three-fourths of the student body physically, and the whole student body spiritually. 68 SENIOR SODALITY OFFICERS Seated: Dave Brown, Prefectg Jack Byrne, Corresponding Secretary.
