ACTIVITIES SAFEGUARD OUR PIETY Tachib ana, Mafsu-Suinin, Sakazuke, Oshidori, Tenyin, Hariko-Ningyo, and Hakasi study their linas for the play which was put on as a commemoration of Christ's birth, for the Christmas Assembly. Hearts filled with happiness as Emperor Matsu-Suinin of Japan realized the presence of a greater Emperor of the universe, as he embraced Christianity by adoring the Christ Child. The finale was the closing note of the Christmas assembly and left all the students filled with the true Christmas Spirit.

SODALITY Donna Cionfrogna and Dorothy Novak, Junior Sodalists, are rsponsible for the successful Sodality Corner” through which tho material apostolates are achieved. These include collect- ing rosaries and stamps for the missions. The Sodality of Wildwood Catholic High School strives to quicken the sense of moral obligation in the student body by its policy of respect for fellow classmates. Throughout the year the Sodality works toward the continued support of the missions and the betterment of the student body's high ideals. Cake sales, stamp contests, and after-game dances have afforded the Sodality the opportunity to visit Scranton, thus improving the basic concepts of the Sodality as a world-wide organization. Sodalists also receive a fresher outlook on life and a more comprehensive understanding of the word, Mary's Sodality. Prior to tho crowning of the Blessed Mother by the May Queen and her court, the probation sodalists took their final pledge and received the blessed medal of Our Lady. For two years these girls had prepared themselves for this day when they prom- ised to lead the rest of their lives in imitation of Mary. Marguerite Pessagno, Judy Cianfrogna, and Patti Tomlin keep the Sodality bulletin board up to date. Each month the girls change the theme in accord- ance with the Church’s feasts and to remind the students of their religious duties such as weekly Communion. Posted also are dates for retreats and other notes on religious matters.

During retreat, pamphlets were made available to the students on such problems as marriage, drinking, cheating, and dating. Their purpose was to assist the student to better himself spiritually. Joseph McAlarnen emphasizes a point on meditation while Anna Garish tries to inform him of the Church's view of steady dating. The highlight of the retreat day is Mass in the auditorium. Dozia Wilson, a senior, acts as lectern giving the student body a daily lesson from the Epistle and the counsels of Christ from the Gospel. 20
