Future civic leaders of America present their ideas to the student body over the public address' system on Citizenship Day. Simone Abadie, Car- olyn Matthews, Lynne Burvant, Julie Bond, Rosa- lind Caruso, and joan Majeste, of Sister M. Mark's freshman class, find civics interesting and practical and plan to put their knowledge into action as community leaders. That their visit to the St. Vincent's Orphanage brought much happiness to these playful children is evident to the cheerful freshmen in Sister M. Ignatius' class. These Civic Club members agreed that by making the children happy they had given themselves the joy that comes from helping others.
