The dramatization of Hemon's Maria Chapdelaine on November 21 aroused appreciation for Catholic literature whose aim is to deepen the love of God and men. The Catholic Book Week program was presented in tht Academy auditorium, adapted and directed by Reverend John R. Aherne, OSA, assisted by John Sullivan and Sister Rita Francis, CSI. Book exhibits were on display in the lobby as a further inducement to the eir- eulation of Catholic literature. The dance to Swan Lake Ballet by Tschaikovsky achieved grace- ful finesse through the interpre- tation of Larry Smith and Mary Barton in Maria Chapdelaine. The senior Book Week display merited a high rating, judged by its originality, neatness, ereative assembly of books, and general appearance. 44 .I K Q I' , Q wg Hg, vt ' ' 'S 'I Q il D s I as v 'U 'R x 4 " - T L V 1 F v 8 A N U 1 , M Ll ff 7 0 .
