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

-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.

In the fall, it sponsors the Volleyball Tournament. Basket- ball, the school's major sport, follows immediately and con- tinues through the Winter. In the spring, Baseball, Tennis, and Track are the principal athletic activities. The year is brought to a close by Field Day and the Athletic Banquet. At the latter the year's outstanding class and individuals are presented with suitable awards. This year the Association introduced the High School Play Day for all Catholic girls' High Schools of St. Louis to replace the usual Track Meet. The purpose of the Play Day is to create among the students a friendly feeling for one another and also for Webster College. i71l
