rwm u z s is STUDENT SPIRITUAL COUNCIL COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES Upon seeing a most attractive poster, lustily proclaiming LIThe Other Twin is Found! Hear about Her at the Sodality Meeting, Wednesday, I became intensely interested. After making my way rapidly down the corridor, I reached Room 100, where a breathtaking sight greeted my eyes. Three members of that now famous Publicity Committee were feverishly working on some posters equally as attractive as the one on the bulletin board. Since I had learned something of the meaning of the poster, I went in search of a few members of the Literary Section. I found them deeply engrossed in ac, quiring an English accent. During a pause for breath Ruth Hazle, the chairman, who was acting as dramatic director, told me just what was taking place. The success of the debate on modern Catholic authors and their works being evident, the Literary Committee was now undertaking the dramatization of a scene from Lucille BordenIs From Out MagdalaII, further to arouse the interest of the Sodalists in Catholic literature. The committee members proved themselves possessors of surr prising dramatic ability in this presentation. As I again passed the bulletin board, I noticed a'small but impressive poster which read IIAttend Mass Tomorrow. I realized that this expressed the- main objeetive 0f the Eucharistic Section. IILive the LiturgyII, our last years slogan, was again brought to life by this committee. To keep liturgy ever present in the minds of the Sodalists the committee published articles in the sodality paper IIOyez . In order to live actually in the spirit of the liturgy many of the girls attended daily Mass and Communion. All this truly Catholic action was due to the efforts of our Eucharistic group and its hard'working chairman, Rose Hartmann. SCHOLASTICAN 1931

THE SODALITY BETTY LAPP o F F IC E R s BETTY LAPP ................................... President CATHERINE OtBOYLE ----------------------- VicexPresident MARY JANE CULLEN Secretary DOROTHY MANSKE ............................ Treasurer The whisper of soft music, an act of consecration, a pure white rose in offering, and the most beautiful day in the life of every Sodalist is solemnized. This scene on the eighth of December is the very symbole ism 0f the ideals of the Sodality which stands for devotion and loyalty to Mary, the Queen of Mothers. The new member begins her life in the Sodality as she enters the chapel. Humbly beseeching her Holy Mother to aid her as she walks along lifets highway, she receives her Lord in the Eucharist. A sudden change of scene and we see the Sodalists in the dining room partaking of a delicious breakfast. Through the words of Father Donnelly, Mother Imelda, and the prefect of the Sodality, the new members truly realize and appreCr iate the honor about to be conferred upon them. A solemn march to the Chapel, a prayer for assistance, and the Socialist consecrates herself to all the ideals of her Pro; tector, Mary. With Benediction and a swelling Te Deum, this day of days, the event of her reception into the Sodality comes to an end. Everything it symbolizes, however, lives in her heart throughout her life.

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES As I was leaving, I met the chairman of the Mission Section diligently counting Lenten banks. She reminded me of the work of the committee at Christmas time. A drive for clothing for our mission at Delta, Colorado had been most successful. Then, too, there was the popularity contest, the most popular girl being determined by the number of penny votes. The Victor, Betty Neil, was crowned queen at a Mardi Gras which climaxed the committees activities. In addition to expressing their enthusiasm within the school, the Sodalists were 3.0 tive in the city organization, iICiscoraW Every one of the three meetings of the year was attended by a great number of delegates. They may have gone forth in the hope that they would witness at first hand one of the famed iifightsh that are staged regularly, but they soon listened with real interest to the accounts of the efforts of other schools in braille, catechetical work, mission aid, and countless other activities fostered by the Sodalities. As a result of the enthusiasm manifested, St. Scholastica was appointed chairman of a movie publicity committee. Its purpose is to preview pictures and send short critiques each week to the member schools. Although little could be accomv plished by the committee this year, the term to come holds determination of grand ideas to be realized. CATHERINE EIDEN, I31. SCHOLASTICAN1931 xxka xxx, on F
