Abbot Academy - Circle Yearbook (Andover, MA)

The Abbot Christian Associa- tion has continued its splendid efforts in helping to bring hap- piness and cheer to many people less fortunate than we. The dolls for Hindman Settlement, the Christinas party for underpriv- ileged children of Andover, and Christinas baskets for the Old Folks ' Home, are examples of how the association works. We see it at Abbot too, in the Old Girl-New Girl party at the open- ing of the year, and in lovely chapel services conducted at in- tervals throughout the year by the Christian Association. A.C.A. unites us and our con- tributions to charitable institu- tions such as the Red Cross, and thus A.C.A. gives us a sincere feeling of having aided in worthy causes. a. c. A. COUNCIL A.C.A.

The underlying aim in the Student Government Associa- tion is to strengthen democratic processes by awakening in each student a desire to share respon- sibility with and for the group in which she moves.

COURAXT BOARD Back Row: M. E. White, Savage, Mitchell, McLean Front Row: Kreis, Flues, Zuckerman, Robbing, Editor; Sharp, Booth, Gierasch Courant We were all surprised and pleased to find Courant under a new cover this year, and our pleas- ure increased as we read the fine articles, stories, and poetry brought out from new contributors in each number. We realized the great sin- cerity of effort in the long hours of work, the careful reading and re- reading that has produced such a notable magazine. We believe, therefore, that our magazine re- flects the best literary products of which the girls are capable. Credit must be given to the Courant board who, working har- moniouslv and enthusiastically to- ward the inescapable deadline, brought out two laudable issues of our school magazine. [52]
