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

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

Athletics BETTY V. BOYLE h l t There are a great many differences of opinion regarding the place of athletics for I girls of high school age. In the past the confusion has arisen in regard to the aim K t of physical education in general and athletics in particular. All are agreed that k physical education is not an end in itself; all are agreed that it aims higher than the k mere development of muscles, cut and dried calisthenics, and victorious teams. T0! k d3. we know that the ob'ectives of hysical education are the same as those of all i y . . . J .p . . - . . education which includes health, ethical tralnmg, hc1t1zensh1p, and the worthy use of leisure. - Girlsl athletics can be so organized that it will accomplish these ends. First comes t; health. Health is the outcome of two factors: the kind of body with which we : were born, and the care we take of it. A well balanced program of physical educa' E tion makes strong the frail body and helps to keep fit the healthy body. x Athletic helds are great laboratories for the development of selfrcontrol, loyalty, honesty, cooperation, and sportsmanship, all of which tend to make a good citizen. Athletics, to be of real value, must be for all. Shall a team or a group already physically strong, be trained to excellency, or shall all be trained to moderate accomi plishment? Every season each girl in high school should be a participant in some sport event. Saint Scholastica, with its splendidly equipped gymnasium, its natatorium, its tennis courts, its athletic and hockey helds, together with its carefully planned pro, gram Offers opportunity for every girl to develop into a healthy, happy, and honor able citizen of which any nation might well be proud.
