fitrfll' Um MARIA Long, flowing, graceful gowns do not characterize the an- nual Sodality Marian Day. All sophistication and vanity are set aside and simplicity, sweet and serene, reigns while Sodalists honor the loveliest, noblest, truest Queen of the May, Mary, Mother of God and man. Garbed in academic cap and gown, Sodalists walk around the College campus singing hymns to their Queen and carrying white roses. The procession terminates in the Chapel where Mary's chil- dren lay their flowers at her feet. The retiring Prefect has the honor of crowning Mary. Then she places the Sodality medal on the shoulders of the new Prefect, who kneels be- fore the altar and makes her Act of Consecration. The other Sodalists take up the pledge and consecrate them- selves unreservedly to Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth. The ceremony closes with solemn Benediction when Christ the King blesses Webster Sodalists as He blesses all who love and follow His Mother. N DAY E623

F353 3 . ,rf lil: ff-I -- me if CT Sgf X PHUM The annual Senior Promenade was held as a formal dinner dance on Ianuary twenty-ninth at the Missouri Athletic As- sociation. The program began at eight and lasted until twelve to the accompaniment of Herb Maller's Orchestra. Every year the Prom is given under the auspices of the Senior Class, which is responsible for the entire arrange- ment of the affair. This is the only school dance to which alumnae of Webster are invited, and it is considered the loveliest social function of the school' year. The class of '37 followed the time-honored traditions always associated with Webster's Prom but introduced a new fea- ture-souvenirs for the seniors and their escorts. With the strains of Home Sweet Home, the Prom '37 ended. Each senior was saddened as she danced away the last Prom of her college days, but was happy that it had been a successful one. l61l'
