Cagginello. 'The class that prays together tays together. Seniors are orming for rosary with the 'etreat father. 38 enior efreat Senior year came upon us quickly, quietly, catching us unawares. ln the rush of back-to-school days we had little time to think ahead, to ponder over what our lives would be after commencement. Then came the tranquillity of our retreat, a time to empty ourselves of all else to make room for God. In His presence we saw more clearly than before what God, in His goodness, had chosen for us. For three days we talked with Him, sometimes alone, and sometimes with Mary. We listened to His suggestions, and with His guidance made decisions. lt was a time of closer union with God, for it was our last retreat at Lauralton, perhaps our last retreat anywhere. Strengthened and enlightened by our retreat, we took away with us this promise of loving help: I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. Father Kelly's joke is appreci ated by these smiling seniors L. to R.: Maureen Trent, Mary Ellen Healy, Pat Maher Pat Muratori, Judy Pinto, Barbara

Here, the future secretaries learn the skills which will make them an asset to the business world. Besides shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, and filing, the girls learn secretarial training. This art of handling people and situations requires as much skill as the manipulation of the mimeograph, the dictaphone, the comptometer, and the electric typewriter. Versatility is the word for the modern secretary. The teletrainer teaches the business girls that there is a technique in- volved even in answering the tele- phone.
