Summer Events Present Challenge Continuing their school spirit throughout the summer months, Holy Angels' girls participated in various activities ranging from volunteer nursing to debating foreign aid. Gaining many new friends is one of the rewards of camp life, and Camp Maryhill for girls, with its outdoor life, attracted many A.H.A. students to serve as counselors. Hotel Dieu found nurses' aides valu- able assistants, while the girls themselves reioiced at time well spent in the service of others. A four- day Junior Red Cross Leadership Training Center taught its participants much about Red Cross work and their responsibilities in it. Becoming skilled in the art of instructing children in truths of our religion, girls worked for God and fellow men in the Religious Vocation School. This year the Summer School of Catholic Action was held in Chicago. Girls attending had no time to be homesick since their days were filled with exciting events and iust taking in the sights. Delegates to the S.S.C.A. in Chi- cago, Gwen Gasperecz, Marilyn Fabre, Myrna Abadie, Gail Gelpi, Jackie Schroeder, Leanne Smith, Ginger Faust, Peggy Ann Engert, and Rosalie Handayan, discuss with Father Hecker, S.J., the role of the Sodality in student life. Pictured with Mrs. Claire Rouyer, camp director, on the chapel steps are Holy Angels' Maryhill Counsel- ors Ginger Faust, Joyce Cole, Gail Gelpi, Kathleen Karl, Judy Hooper, Bernadette Nowak, Arlene Ashbey, Gayle lngolia, Judy Gomila, Carolyn Bourgeois, Catherine Vicari, Patsy Kennedy, Claudia Mumphrey, Mary Ann Nevle, Chris Coig, Cheryl Darby, Jo Ann Lotz, and Kathleen Gaudet. Five fascinating weeks revolved around the three A.H.A. girls who attended the National High School Institute. Together with top students from all parts of the United States, Yvonne Keller, Anna Englert, and Rhoda Viellion took courses in debating and iournalism at Northwestern Uni- versity in Illinois. Last year's iunior varsity debaters went deep in the heart of Texas to attend a two-week debate roundup in Houston and enioy life on Rebel Run Farm. Pelican Girls' State came to an unhappy con- clusion. After four days of bustling activity, an epidemic of Asiatic flu sent students home. Nevertheless, much was learned of Louisiana government. All these various activities required work, but they also provided an outlet for energetic minds and eager spirits. , ..., , , .,., D rf., ,.. s.., ssl ...,- f,.ratio-fiM.,,,...s,.,f....,,.s,a,,,.tr.ms.,..s,-,-we-ffwsm,sm eff..fr-as-sqm,-ttsswfsa.Q-as-,ffr,,,.M,awfwsftrsswft

Resident students Yolanda Leon Virginia Morales Georgina Aguilar and Maria Ustariz swing into the Latin rhythms of their homeland and bring a bit of Central America to the annual Talent Night. Resident Students Make Themselv Thirteen boarders resided at Holy Angels Academy during this school year in order to further their education in the United States. These Central American citizens, guided by their prefect, Sr. Mary ot St. Jude, get a taste ot the American way of lite. Fol- lowing a daily schedule, they encounter many customs unlike the ones they are used to in Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. New interests, new ideas, and new friends all combine to make them better individuals and students. Maria Isabel Ustariz of Honduras became sovereign maiesty of Feria Portena, a festival traditionally held in Honduras to honor Our Lady on the Feast of her Assumption. IO0
