LISTENED A WW i V ,W Q V, 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. Page Seventeen
