-FGTW . , - Vt Xl Il H SUUALITY The Sodality of Our Lady is the organization that attempts to develop the spiritual side of the students, making them personally holy and actively Catholic. To do this the So- dality maintains seven committees that offer a variety of programs. It was through the efforts of the Social Prob- lems Committee that a cooperative store was opened at Webster this year. The Sodality was privileged to hear such speakers as Rev. Iames E. Cahill, C. M., Sodality Director at Webster, Rev. William Markoe, S. I., Rev. Father Valentine, C. P., Rev. I. Roger Lyons, S. I., and Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. I. The Webster College Sodality had the honor for the third consecutive year of having one of its girls elected as Vice- President of the St. Louis College Sodality Union. With the corporate colleges, schools of nursing, and St. Louis Uni- versity, Webster helped to make a success of Union activ- ities, by sponsoring a Monthly Mass for Spain and Mexico, a convention on cooperatives, an all-day May celebration, and a Sodality dance at the Hotel Iefterson.

STUDENT EUVEHNMENT ASSUEIATIUN During the past year, in order to achieve more effectively the purposes of the Student Association, partial Student Government was introduced. After being passed by the faculty, the project was accepted by a vote of the students to operate tentatively for one year. This organization func- tions through the Student Government Board, an executive, legislative, and judiciary body comprising the Dean of Women, Dean of Studies, and twelve students elected from the four classes. The Board elected each year in May, is responsible for the discipline and the social life of the College. lts activities begin during the summer months with preparations for the welcoming of the new students. During the school year it finances the various extra-curricular activities and sponsors numerous social affairs. The Board has drawn the new Student Government Con- stitution, it sponsored a five-day Educational Tour to Wash- ington, D. C., and edited a Campus Guide. It also inau- gurated a Personnel Program.

Williams CATHOLIC STUDENTS' MISSIUN EHUSADE The Nancy Havern Unit of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade is a very important unit of activity within the school, having a membership of almost the entire student body. Although coordinated with the Sodality of Our Lady, it is a very definite organization with officers and purposes all its own. The Unit promotes spiritual, financial, and educational ac- tivities among its members for the benefit of Home as well as Foreign Missions. Among its beneficiaries for this year alone are the Loretto Sisters in Shanghai and I-lan Yang, the Medical Missions, the Catholic University of Peking, Father Tim Dempsey's Charities, THE CATHOLIC WORKER, and many others. Its activities this year included a Food Drive for the Poor, a contest for the best possible Mission Play, written and pro- duced by students, and Catechetical instructions to the young negro children of various parishes in St. Louis and vicinity. moi
