OUR PRAYER FOR YOU
0 Your years at school
On Mary's hill,
Were fraught with ioys .
Much good, some ill.
But now that you
Are leaving us,
We pray to God
That He may bless
And guide your way,
That we may meet
In Heaven above
At Mary's feet.
Good girls you've been,
And now we pray
With all our hearts
That good you'll stay.
That life be kind,
And Faith be strong,
Your sorrows few
Your life be long.
May Grace attend
Your every breath,
And God be yours
ln life and death.
ln all sincerity,
KM

. . . by making a good retreat.
Adrian, from St. Meinrad, in the first of his
talks about our Lady's virtues, led us into
of the retreat on the evening of the sixth.
day we spent in silence, prayer, confiding
to our Blessed Mother our hopes, resolutions and our
plans for the future. The usual atmosphere of scur-
rying and chatter gave way to the hushed tread of
feet in the halls, as we made quiet visits to chapel
or went to and from Father's inspiring lectures.
The beautiful and impressive Mass followed by a
wonderful sermon marked the end of our time of
recollection on the day of the feast. We realize
more than ever before iust what it means to be under
the special patronage of our Lady, the Immaculate
Conception, and we thank Mary from our hearts for
this privilege.

PER MARIAM
0 The Sodality, so dear to all the A.l.C. stu-
dents, has instilled into their hearts its three-
fold purpose, namely, personal sanctification,
sanctification of our neighbor, and spread and
defense of the Church. We feel that the
Blessed Virgin has bestowed many graces on
our group this year. Although we cannot go
into detail about all the activities sponsored
by the Sodality, we will mention a few of the
most outstanding.
The officers for this school year were elected
in February 1946: Prefect, Alberta Voges, Vice-
Prefect, Patricia Seger, Secretary, Rita Mathias,
Treasurer, Ann Bowling, Chairman of Our Lady
Committee, Dolores Baumgart, Eucharistic Com-
mittee, .ludith Beckman, Literary Committee,
Claudine Lents, Publicity Committee, Patricia
Seger, Etiquette Committee, Lucille Fortwendel,
Social Committee, Emily Herr.
We are very grateful to Sister Clarissa for
urging us on and helping us to make this
year a successful one for the Sodality.
Several Students Spiritual Council meetings
were held, and proved to be a great aid in
planning and making the Sodality meetings
more interesting.
Among the devotional exercises held in
honor of Our Lady, one of the most beautiful
was the procession of the Living Rosary. On
October 7, 1946, at 8:00 p.m. the Academy
girls, led by the- Seniors who were attired in
their caps and gowns, formed the Living Ro-
sary at the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes.
The Seniors represented the Cross and the Our
Fathers. The Hail Marys were represented by
members of other classes. Each girl carried
a vigil light. After the procession reached the
grotto, the Rosary was recited, led by Sister
Mary James. The ceremony closed with the
hymn "On This Day O Beautiful Mother" in
honor of the Queen of Heaven.

On October 26, the Seniors attired in caps
and gowns proudly ascended the stage in
the Assembly, where Sister Clarissa presented
them with their Sodality pins. This privilege
is awarded only to Seniors who have actively
partaken in the Sodality functions and who
promise to be faithful to Our Blessed Mother
for the rest of their lives.
On December 6, the Student Council exam-
ined the would-be members to see if they
were qualified to be taken into the Sodality.
December 8, the "red letter day" at the
A.l.C. proved to be, as usual, the most in-
spiring and successful event of the year. The
day of Recollection, held on December 7,
together with the beautiful Solemn High Mass
on the day itself, produced an atmosphere of
peace and contentment throughout the school.
ln the afternoon, following Vespers, new mem-
bers were enrolled in the Sodality which brings
the total number of Sodalists in the school
to 112.
Father Lyons of the National Sodality Staff,
introduced a new Sodality proiect namely,
the Marian Award, which was carried out
here at the Academy. This award is given
for outstanding work in the formation of its
members according to The Common Rules of
1910 and for achievement in its program of
Sodality activities.
The Sodality Marian Award was conferred
on our Sodality on May 22, 1947. Ours is
the "M" award .... the highest given.
The first issues of the "Sodality Breezes"
were published at the rate of one every two
weeks by the Publicity Committee.
We wish to thank all the Sodalists who
cooperated with us through their attendance
and participation at our meetings and making
this a successful school year.

9 With the coming of May, when mother
nature bedecked her hillsides with beautiful
blossoms and the birds sang cheerily in the
tree-tops, it .was only fitting that the A.l.C.
should once again loin in the chorus honoring
our Blessed Mother .... the Queen of May.
May ll, 1947, was one of the most impor-
tant days of the school year, for it was then
l. School Colors I
that the May Crowning celebration was held.
Contrary to former years, the festivities were
slightly altered. The program of events was
as follows:
To begin the afternoon celebration the or-
chestra, under the direction of Sister M. Cyrilla,
O.S.B., gave its annual Concert. The program
included:
2. Blue Skies ,V Orchestra
3. The old Bass viol Selections
4. Two Coleens ,
Song and Dance by Patricia Seger and Sylvia Becher
5. Harp Solo by Ann Savage from Jasper, Indiana lage ninel
6. Daisies .... a vocal solo by Mary Ann Kiefner
7. Saxophone solo by Dolores Bodner
8. Cloudburst .... a piano solo by Sylvia Becher ,I
9. l've Done My Work .... a vocal solo by Blanche Laubscher
lO. Devotion '
ll. Indian Lament
12. Slidin' Some
I3. Serbian Dance
At 5:00 p.m. the Parents-Senior Banquet
was held in the Academy dining hall.
Promptly at 6:30 p.m. the entire student
body formed a procession, starting from the
front entrance and ending on the Campus
grounds. This was followed by the song
"ln Pride of May" sung by the students.
Then the customary address was given by
Patricia Seger, vice-prefect of the Sodality
after which she and Rita Mathias, secretary
of the Sodality, crowned Alberta Voges, pre-
fect, Queen of May.
Following this, the Seniors presented a Gar-
land Dance in honor of the Queen.
The Queen then expressed her gratitude for
having been so honored, but stated that she
wished to place the crown on one, "far
S by the Orchestra
lovelier and more worthy of the title 'Queen
of the May.' "
Then the girls marched over to the Grotto
of Our Lady, the Freshmen and Sophomores
carrying lighted vigil lights and forming the
Living Rosary around the Grotto, while the
the Juniors carried bouquets of flowers.
After reaching the Grotto, the Rosary was
recited by all present, followed by the hymn
"Hail Virgin Dearest Mary" and the crowning
of the Blessed Virgin.
After this the Act of Consecration to Mary
was recited during which each Senior present-
ed Our Lady with a flower as a token of her
love and fidelity to Mary.
As a fitting close, to seal the most perfect
of all days, the hymn "Holy God" was sung.

0 The Praosidium, Our Lady, Queen of Vic-
tory, of the Legion of Mary followed its usual
course during the past school year. Not the
least achievement, that of gaining nineteen
new active members, 'is to be accredited to
the Blessed Virgin who proves herself irresist-

Legionaries serve their neighbor as she served

HE ANNUAL three day retreat at
the A.l.C. was held over the
week end of January 24. Rev. Francis Darmady, a Redemptorist Father from
Glenview, Illinois was retreat master. We enioyed this year's retreat very
much and everyone felt that the time passed too quickly.
Father's lectures were inspiring and especially those on Confession, Respect
for Parents, Value of Morning Offering and Devotion to Mary. The retreat is
always one of the most outstanding events of the school year and the girls
feel that the retreat of 1947 was one of the best ever.

OBLATES OF ST. BENEDICT
AT THE A.l.C.
9 For the first time in the history of the Academy, the Oblates
of St. Benedict held meetings every month of the school year.
lt has become an active organization and its membership has
increased rapidly. At the opening of the school year there were
twenty-three Oblates, at the close, over forty.
At every meeting discussions were held on some part of the
Holy Rule of St. Benedict. The meetings closed with the night
prayer of Holy Mother Church, Compline.
ln September the following officers for the year were chosen:
Lucille Wannemuehler, president, Sylvia Becher, vice-president,
Alberta Voges, secretary, and Betty Mullen, treasurer. Much
of the success of the year was due to the assistance of Sister
Therese, O.S.B., and to our Spiritual Directors, Father Walter,
O.S.B., and Father Raban, O.S.B.
With such a love for the spirit of St. Benedict rooted into
the souls of the girls, we hope the future will be filled with
the blessings of Christ and our own Father Benedict!

' The C.S.M.C. Unit of the A.l.C. has seen a
4114711
successful year during "'46" and .
With the various activities sponsored by the
Mission Unit the girls were kept quite busy. . .
and mission-minded too. Some of the High-
lights were:
THE MISSION MEETINGS
were held regularly each month and have
proved interesting because all the girls co-
operated. In our first meeting the new mem-
bers were enrolled after they made their
pledges. They received the Student Crusade
Pin which was explained to them along with
the Crusade Banner during the course of the
meeting. There are now IO8 enrolled in our
Mission Unit. A debate about the Negroes
which came up during our meeting on Janu-
ary ll, I947, is one, we are sure, the girls
are not likely to forget.
THE BULLETIN BOARD
was an important factor in the line of Mis-
sion News. lt kept the girls informed of
various events which were to take place in-
cluding our Mission Social and our White
Elephant Sale. Other items of importance as
the Holy Father's Monthly Mission Intention,
the Sunday Gospels, the month of February
during which we were to pray for Unity of
the World, Church Unity Octave, reminders
for the different seasons of the year. All
these and more kept our Bulletin Board no-
ticeable and interesting.
PRAYERS AND SACRIFICES
were offered up for the Missions all during
the year and we hope that the girls have
made it one of their daily practices. Observ-
ance of "World Unity" played an important
role in the life of the Student Crusader this
year.
Continuation of C S. M. C
THE MISSION SOCIAL
was held on October 20, 1947. The gym was
very definitely turned into a scene of festivity
due to the hard work of willing hands. Bal-
loons and posters were not a small part in
the line of decorations. The "Mystery Box"
an entirely new addition was quite popular
and created a lot of interest. lt increased
the fund considerably. Others such as the
Ice Cream, Sandwich and Drinks, Penny Pitch,
Novelty, and Bingo stands were a great asset
in helping us to reach the sum of 5350.00.
THE WHITE ELEPHANT SALE
held on January ll, 1947 in the gym was
an event which created much interest and ex-
citement. Various articles were auctioned and
prices that were paid were considerably higher
than the retail price. To give you an example:
a one-cent piece of bubble gum went for 4252!
Now please don't think us spendthrifts. Aft-
er all the proceeds, 550, went to the Missions
and you know bubble gum was hard to get!
DONATIONS
have been sent out to various Missions both
here and abroad. lt is estimated that about
S500 has been sent out this year.
OTHER PROJECTS
9 Members of the various study clubs sold
Christmas Seals during the Christmas Season.
Clothing was gathered by the girls and
sent to the people of Europe.
The girls wrapped Christmas packages and
sent them to Father Gregory's Indian Missions.
A movie about the work of the Medical
Missionaries in India was shown in the As-
sembly during the latter part of October.
The girls certainly enioyed it and they also
got a good inside view of what is being done
for the welfare of those poor people by our
Missionaries from home.
SPEAKERS
0 Last but not least we mention those who
came here to the Academy in order that they
might talk directly to the girls about mission
work and the need of Missionaries.
Father Sourd, a Glen Mary priest, talked to
the girls in November. His work consists
chiefly in instructing in the Catholic Faith, those
less fortunate people who live away from
churches and Catholic localities.
Father Gregory Kunkel, O.S.B. addressed
the Student Body and told them some very
interesting experiences. His life is dedicated
solely to the Indians in Winnebago, Nebraska.

' The aim of this club is to learn more about
the countries of Latin America, their people,
their religion and their customs. This year
our group studied in particular the work of the
missioners and the need for more mission work
in these countries. This proved very interest-
ing and helped us to become better acquaint-
ed with our neighbors of Latin America ....

CURRENT PUBLICATIONS
9 This club has made Communism its special
study. From the monthly publication of "To-
day's World" and various other pamphlets
we have learned the meaning of Communism,
how it is spread and to what heights it has
risen in our own country. We know that it
is a problem which will some day confront
all of us, if we do not do something to check
it .... Leader . . . Flora Beckman, Scribe . . .

MEDICAL MISSIONARY
' Our club studied about the Medical Mis-
sionaries which are located at Fox Chase,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We learned their
different works and their main occupation
which is to care for and instruct those in
pagan lands like Africa .... Leader . . . Doro-

NEGRO
0 The Negro Study Club spent this year trying
to foster among the student group a love for
the Negro. They have learned different points
in the Negro's favor: lil The Negro has an
immortal soul created by God and equal to
ours l2i The Negro has not had the chances
we have had l3i The Negro is intellectually
and musically inclined. With these facts in
mind they are prepared to face the world
and all its absurd ideas about Negroes.
As an achievement, our club presented a
short play about the Negroes, Every night
the members assembled in the Blessed Virgin
room and prayed three Hail Marys for them.
Among the girls taking part in these activities
are: Leader . . . Lucille Wannemuehler, Scribe

HOME MISSIONS
0 We studied the need of mission work here
in America. To obtain additional information
we wrote to the Home Missions at Glendale,
Ohio and to the Catechists at Huntington,
Indiana. To help the missions spiritually we
offered Masses, Holy Communions, Visits to the
Blessed Sacrament, Rosaries, and other prayers
for them. As financial help we had a little
mission bag in which we saved our extra
pennies and nickels for the missions .... Lead-

INDIA
0 India is a vast country with unlimited
numbers of potential converts to the Catholic
faith. Understanding of the beliefs, customs
and laws of the Indians is necessary if we
are to help them toward the truth. It was
the aim of this study club to acquire this un-
derstanding. Besides studying about and
praying for India, we corresponded with some
missionary nuns who are in that country. On
one occasion, we sent them a sum of money
that we had made by raffling candy ....

5 The Glee Club, under the direction of Sister
Kathleen, completed a happy cmd most suc-
cessful year. Although it was a very busy
one, we had the ioy of achievement. The
enrollment of eighty members was the largest
number ever had.
Every Friday morning the school rang with
ioyful voices. The reason that so many girls
flocked to Sister Kathleen when she called
for singers was that there was so much op-
portunity for a development of voices, whether
soprano or alto. Not only was it an op-
portunity to develop voices but also one way
in which to show them oFf. For example,
when the Seniors gave their annual play,
between acts the gym rang with happy voices
singing such favorites as: Mother Machree,
It's Just a Little Street, Ma' Curly Headed
Baby, When lrish Eyes are Smiling, The Desert
Song, Home Sweet Home, and Ave Maria.
We feel that all the members of the Glee
Club deserve praise for their cooperation in
making it one of the best the school ever
had. Especially are the altos to be lauded
for their fine spirit in being so willing to come
to extra practice when called upon.
Hearty Congratulations, girls! May your
lives be a song in perfect harmony with Jesus
and His Blessed Mother.

' The class of '47 originally 34 strong came
to ioin forces with the "Castle on the hill"
on September l2, 1943. We were awed by
the magnificent structure before us and were
beginning to 'feel a little out of place. But
with the kindness of the sisters and the older
girls we were soon feeling at home. Of
course to keep the old tradition, we were
tagged "green Freshies" but it couldn't be
of course, that we were always lost or being
late for classes not to mention the confusion
we caused in the dorms. Gradually we be-
gan to feel a part of the A.l.C. We ad-
vanced in knowledge, not only mental but
spiritual, made life-long friends, and partic-
ipated in parties as well as other social
activities. By June we were very proud of
ourselves because we had spent a very suc-
cessful year.
Summer came and went. Back at A.I.C.
again we took up where we had left off in
June. Of course some girls didn't come back
but others came to take their places. We
made the Freshies quite aware that we were
now veterans. Being "Sophs" we were kept
very busy. Among other things we sponsored
a Truth and Consequence program, gave a
class play and won the volley ball tournies.
We now considered ourselves quite wise and
ready to advance to our Junior year.
Another summer and finally we were Jun-
iors. By now we were feeling rather impor-
tant since we were upperclassmen. Our class
had dwindled slightly since '43 because we
now numbered only l8. A small class didn't
hold us back though because we had our
class meetings and collected the dues that
were necessary to give the Seniors their an-
nual party. But wishing to be different we
gave
With
the lucky Seniors an outing instead.
a comfortable bus and a big assortment
Class History
of food we went to Springmill Park near
Mitchell. After a day of hiking, swimming
and exploring caves we returned home to
the A.I.C. and never got finished talking about
our experiences. ln February we received the
most pleasant surprise of the year .... yes,
you guessed it .... our class rings. The
rest of the school didn't get any peace until
they had gazed on our rings at least a dozen
times. June came quickly.
All too soon it was September, but we
didn't mind because we were Seniors. Three
years ago no one would have imagined that
we would now be ready to fill the various
offices in the Sodality, Legion and C.S.M.C.
We received our distinguished places in church
and in the refectory. Again we wish to be
different so instead of receiving the "Trips"
we chose to live in the "Private Room Hall".
This year we really did try something pro-
fessional. We gave a five act play, Mistress
of Fernleigh Grange under the able guidance
of Sister Cyrilla. When the big day came
to give it we were very proud of the large
attendance. ln January we made our three
day retreat. This wasn't iust an ordinary
retreat as before, but our last one at A.l.C.,
maybe our last one forever.
.lune 8 .... the day we dreamed about
and talked about for years. Yes graduation
has finally come, but now that it is here
everyone doesn't seem too glad about it. We
realize that at last we have come to the
crossroads of our lives. Never again will
we all be together in our classes, dancing
in the "rec", visiting in our private rooms,
taking hikes and all the other things we did
that made our life at A.I.C. so happy. No
matter what walk in life we choose we will
never forget and will always appreciate the
ideals we acquired at A.l.C.

BERNADETTE OF LOURDES
uite a bit of talent was displayed when the Glee Club presented their
Operetta, Bernadette of Lourdes, on the evening of December 8, T946.
The Operetta was a typical life story of little Bernadette as we know it. The
mockery of her companions, the misunderstanding of her mother, together with
the sweet consolation of the Blessed Virgin were distinctively portrayed.
Bernadette was played by Bridget Ragan, her mother by Lucille Fortwendel.
The Blessed Virgin was played by Dolores Baumgart.
The group of twenty peasants was played by members of the Freshmen,
Sophomore, and Junior classes. They are to be praised for their willingness in
their cooperation which was so necessary for the success of the operetta.
The part of the angels was taken by the Seniors and several other girls.
They looked heavenly, indeed, arrayed in their white gowns and colorful sashes.
And oh yes, we must not forget Ann Savage, the little harpist from Jasper,
Indiana, who played a little solo as one of the closing numbers of the operetta.
Sister M. Kathleen and Sister M. Cyrilla deserve a great deal of thanks for
their work and patience in directing the entire cast.

CLASS PROPHECY
0 It is 1957. Having sailed upon the turbu-
lent Atlantic Ocean for days on end, my ship
at last docked in the beautiful harbor of Rio
de Janiero. A leisure walk through the plaza
brought me to El Alberto Hotel and Cocktail
Lounge owned by charming vivacious Alberta
Voges, known to her intimates as "Butch."
Upon entering I beheld a strange specimen,
presumably of humanity, sampling food by the
carload. It proved to be Ann Bowling whose
ambition to be a hobo was thwarted by her
husband's having left her S70,000,000,000.
We were ioined at our cocktails by Mes-
dames Patricialle and Sylvianoriana, noted
opera singers. Virginia Mae Welp, their
personal hairdresser, who has been with them
since graduation from Beauty College and Rita
Meyer, a proficient typist, who takes care of
their fan mail, awaited them in the lobby.
The elevator girl, Mary Lou Bartley, had to
make two trips because not more than ten
trunks would fit in the elevator at a time.
Mary lou did not mind, however, for she loves
to be of service.
Sitting next to us, reading the daily news,
was Rita Mathias, who is a model for the
"Goldie-glo" Shampoo Company. The front
page featured an article on the famous por-
trait painter, Claudine Lents, who is known as
the Rembrandt of the 20th Century.
Reading over her shoulder, we saw an ac-
count of the visit of Lucille Fortwendel, world
renowned traveler and lecturer on Psychology.
To avoid having to buy a ticket to her lecture,
we went directly to the airport to meet her.
Her private plane came bouncing down the
field, having missed the runway by 500 feet.
lncidentally, the pilot, Emily Herr, will receive
her license in several years.
Drowning out the roar of the plane, there
came a sudden violent explosion from a near-
by laboratory. Upon investigation we found
that Judith Beckman had blown up her ex-
perimental station while trying to find a method
of increasing erasers instead of decreasing
them with use Ithe eraser she had used since
ly nik? fszfurnfy Qjgvnyflff
her Freshmen year in high school lasted only
fifteen yearsl.
We held our breaths in awe as a huge
silver airliner glided smoothly onto the run-
way. Hastily alighting the pilot reported to
the ground commander the cause of his having
broken the company's spectacular record of
having all flights perfectly timed. He had
had to wait forty-eight hours for a woman
named Dolores Baumgart who wouldn't allow
a take-off until her make-up was properly
applied. The trim young hostess, Pearline
Buechler, came to testify on his behalf. She
succeeded in calming the outraged commander
to whom she was engaged.
We decided to drive away from the noise
and bustle of the city. While we were en-
ioying the scenery, the car gave a sudden
iolt and the driver lost control of the car due
to a fiat tire. Seeing a nearby farmhouse, we
went there to call for a wrecker. Mary Jean
Koetter who answered the door insisted that
we stay for supper while her eldest son fixed
the tire. She has a beautiful 400 acre farm
and six boys to help her with it. Her hus-
band is a cattle rancher who travels most of
the time, so we didn't get to meet him. Mary
Jean told us about Ethel Kippenbrock from
whom she hears frequently. Ethel is now a
concert pianist. She wrote about her friend
Mary Lou Meyer, who is attending a well-
known dramatic school in London. Her aspi-
ration is to be a great actress.
After supper conversation included talk of
old times my companions had had, a tale of
the strange country I must visit soon called
the United States where they say, people drink,
a supposedly intoxicating beverage known as
"coke" which causes them to perform fan-
tastic contortions to a wild music . . . boogie
woogie, I believe. However I fear I must
master a new language first.
Now having enioyed the delicious lunch of
beef and gravy I must hurry off to catch my
atom-powered space ship back to Mars. In-
cidentally you will hear more of these lovable
characters in my latest book "Swinging on a
Planet . . . A Visit to Earth."

0 Really, it was quite a day! lf you'll turn
your calender back to November 13, 1946,
you'll know what l'm talking about. Of
course! That was the day the Volleyball
tournaments were held. The competing teams
were the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and
Seniors. Talk about hard work! Anyone who
witnessed the games can verify my statement.
Everyone tried her best. There were several
games in which the competition was very sharp,
but in the end the Sophomores won. Now
wait a minute! Don't think they ran right oFf

with the laurel wreaths! Goodness no! Be-
fore they deserve them, they had to put up
a terrific battle with the Seniors, since the
deciding game was between the Seniors and
Sophomores. But toward the end of the sec-
ond half it was pretty evident that the Soph-
omores would come out victorious. They won
their honors fairly and squarely and we con-
gratulate them. The captain of the winning
team was Imelda Meny. The referees for the
games were Sister Mary Regis and Sister Mary
Kathleen.

CALE DAR OTE OF
DAYS GO E BY
September 9, 1946
This day found the A.l.C. buzzing with girls
returning from summer vacation. With our
new coat of sun tan, starry eyes and full of
ambition, we started another school year in
good spirits.
September 14, Saturday
What size shoes do you wear? Are you
5' 4"? Were you born in the month of July?
These are some of the questions you were
probably asked at our "Get Acquainted Party."
lt was held in the gym with all the students
participating in the various games.
September 20, Friday
The Seniors had the privilege of attending
"The House of Magic" presented by General
Electric at Huntingburg. The so called "magic"
was seeing sound, hearing light, and various
other demonstrations.
September 25, Wednesday
All of the girls were looking forward to this
scheduled date for our outing at Monte Cas-
sino. A pilgrimage was started at the foot of
the hill with the recitation of the rosary, fol-
lowed by games and then . . . eats. We hiked

ln keeping with Benedictine traditions and the
Rule of St. Benedict, St. Meinrad's Abbey Press was
established in 1867 as a monastic scriptorium to
take care of the printing needs of the monastery.
As the Abbey grew from a roughly hewn log cabin to
the massive sandstone cloister, so also has The Abbey
Press developed into a modern printing establishment.
In the lost few years the publication of books and
pamphlets have become part of the program for making
known the truths of the Christian religion and culture,
so that without leaving the cloister the monks may
more directly spread the seed of the Word of God in
its various phrases of the printing art.
If you are not already a reader of The Grail
Magazine you can become one by subscribing to it for
two dollars for one year. A sample copy will be sent
free upon request, as will a copy of the list of
Grail Publications.
