m 44-1, 54m: 50W True to its three-fold aim of sanctification of self, sanctification of neighbor, and the liberty and exaltation of Holy Mother the Church, the high school sodality engaged itself most earnestly in its work of the year. Among the earliest of the numerous projects was the ttfavorite girltt contest, the proceeds of which were sent to the Association for the Propa- gation of the Faith, to be used for its mission fields. The drive for rosaries, spiritual and material, for St. Alphonsus, parish, as also that for tobacco for the Huntsville prisioners, was notably successful. Nor were these the only successful drives. There was the Catholic literature drive for the purchase of new pamphlets, distinguished as it was by the, enacting of skits, and the Christmas and Easter drives for food, toys, clothing, and medicine to bring relief and cheer to the many needy people of the San Antonio parishes. There was, of course, the great spiritual event, the annual retreat. Of superior interest, too, was the discussion of Vocation Week, and the in- spiring talks therein, by Helen Marie Breit, George Ann Farley, Mary Catherine Linehan, Maria Garcia, Alice Marie Caterson, N ora Smith, Jane Garvey, and Mary Alice Lozano.

Organized in the fall term of 1939, the Home Economics Sorority adopted as its title the significant motto of Kappa Lambda, the initial letters of which words indicate Creative Living. With membership acces- sible to all students Who follow a course in Home Economics, the association is purposed to establish more securely the union of those majoring in its field and to foster a deeper community understanding among them. It provides a program of concentration on the study of practical problems in home economics. Complementary to these activities, Kappa Lambda spon- sors its own social occasions. Outstanding among these for the year were the tea given in honor of the delegates to the Home Economics Convention, November, 1939, and the farewell entertainment for the college seniors, the reception and tea of April 26, 1940. Officers of the sorority, 1939-1940, are listed as Martha Jackson, presi- dent; Sue Broyles, Vice president; Helene Houssiere, treasurer; and Jane Long, secretary.

SW 1342 Kappa. The members of Sigma Delta Kappa take just pride in it as the high school sorority. History and tradition have been confirmed by the activity of the contemporary membership. They have splendidly sustained the ideals that have been so zealously maintained by the organization since its founding in 1922. More than a few memorable events have been sponsored by the society during 1939-1940. The ttdots, as the pledges are customarily known, have been not the least important figures in several of the occasions. Subsequent to the test of their spirit in jocoserious initiation ceremonies, these candi- dates, before their formal admission, entertained the members at an in- formal luncheon. It is worthy to record here the names of those Who have been largely responsible for the successful year, the officers of Sigma Delta Kappa: Barbara Jaeckle, president; Janet Mileau, Vice president; Joyce Brown, secretary; Helen Marie Breit, treasurer; Gloria Basse, reporter; and N elda Palsma, sergeant-at-arms.
