Greatly strengthened was the organization with the reception into its ranks of ninety-nine new members, December 8. To prepare for the birthday of Our Lord, liturgical-minded sodalists presented mystery plays of the lncarnation and Redemption, December lb, followed by the opening of the Christmas novena. .Special homage was paid to their patron, when sodalists gathered in the Chapel, May Day, and ceremoniously crowned the Blessed Virgin, Queen of May. Sub- stantial aid was furnished the Sodality's adopted mission at Alamosa, Colorado, by funds raised at socials, held throughout the year. fzr -fnrmy ry flfh'11fl Wliat am l bid? lO cents? l4 cents?

One of the lunior High Sodal- ity's auctions, several of which were given during the year to raise funds for C.Y.Q. welfare work. lncidentally, the buyers generously purchased articles which they themselves had donated for the sale. Having chosen the Blessed Mother and Si. Agnes as patrons the Sodalists started .the year by electing as officers: Mary Ellen Muckenhirn, Betty Ann Trickel, Helen Higgins, and Loretta Williams. Stimulating programs were given at the weekly meetings, and missions were liberally aided with contributions both spiritual and financial. Though a very youthful army of youth, the lunior Highists have shown themselves zealous soldiers of Christ the King. four 1' -MIAIWV fffflvffni H.

No wonder the enthusiastic audience demanded an encore to this as well as many of the other numbers of the charming program. Particularly thrilling to the choristers was the experience, during Christmas week, of singing old English carols over station VVIND. The same program was repeated the following day for patients in various hospital wards. Pupils of the voice department reveal excellent tone quality, commented Mae Graves Atkins, of the Chicago Conservatory of Music, who spent several days at S. S. A., criticizing the work of the vocal students. Wa any imc EJ 'Round and 'round they whirl! And what acrobatic feats they perform, these young Terpsichoreans, who have spent several hours each week attempting to acquire the grace and agility of their noted instructors and models, Mme. Ludmilla Speranzeva and Mme. Vera Mirova. The sense of co-ordination and self-expression which the teachers have aimed to foster in their pupils' were evidenced in the sylph-like mer- rnaids and the ferocious pirates, who performed in Peter Pan, as well as in the artistic steps of the Beauty and the Beast dancers. National dances, to which the classes were especially partial, proved a vital and interesting source through which the students acquired an intimate knowledge of the background and customs of .various countries. fgdfferw' ffrnnwci rmu QfQe Jfrff fQmQn 1

C927 life Jayne Roaring bonfires and sizzling wieners were the genial aftermath of the Athletic Club's October meeting, at which Mary lane Boehme was chosen president, with lean Tracy, Mary lane D'Ambrosia, and Rita Peter named to assist her. Mercedes Weldon and Patricia Monahan, of the class of '39, captured the first laurels of the season, when they were for the second year declared champs in the doubles tennis tournament. Hockey sticks and goal posts, not to speak of countless bruised Shins, came to the fore in the fall inter-class tourney, from which Seniors emerged victorious for the third consecutive season, after a hard battle for supremacy with the luniors. The winds of the hockey field proving too nippy, athletes traveled to the more tem- perate clime of the gym, to hold the basketball color rneet. Prom the best players of the multi-hued teams of this match, Miss Leona Tinnes, sports coach, chose the contestants for the Annual lnter-Class Basketball Tourney. Crowds of loyal fans from each class cheered their teams at the hotly-contested games of this spectacu- lar tilt, until the last whistle of the final game, when the Seniors were declared blue- ribbon Winners. Baseball, volleyball, and tennis prctctice in the spring led up to Play Day, when the tourney finals of these sports, as well as broad-jump and high-jump contests and relay races, were held. Pulses beat high in the evening at the annual banquet, when, amidst enthusiastic applause, outstanding athletes were awarded white sweaters and blue chenille letters, emblematic of the Athletic Club's ideals: fair play, good sportsmanship, and clean fun. 1 V - Fishleigh, I.
