SODALITY Introduction of daily Mass during Lent and the weekly hearing of confessions in the Foss Memorial Chapel in Hinkle Hall are two prominent achievements of the Sodality of the Liberal Arts College, during the year just ending. Inspired with the enthusiasm displayed by the new moderator, Rev. Jeremiah J OiCallaghan, S. J., the Sodality members co-operated whole-heartedly with the plans laid down. In like manner, the routine work and activities of the Sodality were entered upon in an enthusiastic manner. The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception formed the principle part of the weekly meetings, held on Thursdays at 11:35 a. m. A short and interesting instruction upon timely topics by the moderator was invariably given at these meetings. During the week in which fell the First Friday of the month, the meeting was held on Friday morning at the same hour. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and a short instruction comprised the program. The ohicers for 1923-24 were: John K. Mussio, prefect; Victor W. J. Feighery, first assistant prefect; Thomas J. Ball, second assistant prefect; Thomas Manion and Murray Paddack, sacristans; James P. Glenn, librarian; Joseph J. Egan, and Earl J. Winter, medal-bearers; Eugene Perazzo, Joseph T. Collins, Albert NI. Schmitz and Leo NL Kiley, promoters. Page One Hundred Thirly-me

KAPPA SIGMA MU ttPrimarily to promote greater loyalty to St. Xavier College, Department of Commerce and Sociology, and its ideals, paramount among which is Co-operation. Thus, in the words of its Constitution, is expressed the chief purpose of this splendid organization, and that it has always adhered most zealously to its purpose is attested by its actions, as well as by its words. The Kappa Sigma Mu was organized four years ago by Miss Ann B. Mentink, who two years ago was elected president of the Co-operators and of the Senior Class of Commerce. Miss Mentink was the first president of the Kappa Sigma Mu and has since been the guiding light of the organization. Mr. Joe Kessen served as the second president of the organization, having been elected to that 031cc unanimouslyi Miss Catherine Pellman, who so efficiently supervised the recent card party and dance of the Co-operators and was the chief factor in making it such a marvelous success, served as president of the Kappa Sigma Mu last year, Mr. Edward C, Bernhold having been elected recently to fill that omce for the present year. From an insignificant beginning, namely, conducting the installation of ofiicers of the Co-operators four years ago, the organization has increased its activities, step by step. Its latest achievement is the card party and dance given by the Kappa Sigma Mu for the benefit of the Catholic Students Mission Crusade, OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR 1924 Edward C.
