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 to St. Meinrad's Abbey and some of the girls were shown through the Seminary. After that . . . another hike back to Monte Cassino with supper awaiting and also all the ice-cream we could eat. Tired but happy, the girls sang songs riding back on the bus to A.l.C. October 2, Wednesday The excitement and uproar in the Junior Class was due to the fact they were measured for their class rings. October 5, Saturday Our first Sodality meeting was held in the gym where a beautiful ceremony of the instal- lation of Sodality officers took place. October 7, Monday A living rosary was formed from the acad- emy to the grotto with diFferent colored vigil lights representing the mysteries. The Seniors wore their caps and gowns and represented the cross and the Our Fathers. On this clear night the Blessed Virgin must have been very pleased with the beautiful spectacle around her beloved grotto. October 9, Wednesday The girls witnessed one of the wonders of nature on this night. Shooting stars were Page very numerous and the red streaks through the starlit sky were indeed a beautiful sight. October 12, Saturday This afternoon the Juniors sponsored a Bunco Party in the gym. They also entertained with a comical skit called The Junior's Version of the Discovery of America. October 26, Saturday The Seniors attired in their caps and gowns in a solemn procession filed onto the stage in the assembly. Near the statue of the Bless- ed Virgin, Sister Clarissa gave the Sodality pin to each Senior. This is one of the special priv- ileges awarded only to the Seniors. October 31, Thursday The girls were home just in time to join the gang in Halloween fun! November 13, Wednesday This day proved to be full of events es- pecially for the Seniors. Since it was Bene- dictine All Saints, we had a free day. ln the morning the Seniors went to Saint Meinrad to listen to Father Gillis who talked in the gym at the Abbey. He gave us some very good points on Catholic Action and the part we play in the affairs of the world. The Seniors made it back home to A.l.C. iust in time to match their ability in volleyball tournaments. November 15, Friday Father Sourd, a Glen Mary Missionary, gave an inspiring lecture on the work of the Home Missionaries and the need for more sisters.
