Proceeds went toward the education of a native Indian boy for the priesthood. Winner of this contest was junior julia Mae Majeste, who won over ten other contestants. ln observance of the Mission Sunday ceremonies, Holy Angels provided one of the scenes for Queen of the Missions. Ana Brent, who beautifully portrayed Our Lady of India, symbolized the fervent love of the students for Mary and her Son. Beautiful background for this setting was painted by our A.H.A. artists, Marie Catalanotto and Kathleen Saba. Th As Father Gregory Smith, O.
