APACHES CIATIILEEN MUEHLEBACH lleftl and Dorothy Weber discuss with Father John Desmond MAR- RIAGE FOR KEEPS, a reprint from INTECRl'I'Y MAGA- ZINE. Covering only marriage in his lectures, Father Des- mond tries to help prepare seniors for married life after graduating from high school. In choosing a partner for life Father helps thc girls understand how to make a lasting selection. On days when Father is not present seniors learn from their home room teacher what will be expected of them in the world. Shaping toward future Catholic citizens, the class of 754 studies papal encyclicals on world conditions. WITH THE AID of a recorder, seniors fleft to rightj Alma Flores as Duncan, Margaret Greggs taking the part of Macbeth, and portraying Lady Macbeth, Charlene Ste- phens put on tape direct quotations from MACBETH by William Shakespeare. Acting out the play in English IV, each member of the class had an opportunity to give a dra- matic rendition of individual excerpts. Along with MACBETH, Romantic and Victorian periods as well as Contemporary Writers play an important part in the senior English cycle. Fourth semester oral book reports had a fifteen-minute time limit. MAKING CLASS MORE interesting, seniors give civics reports at the portico near the swimming pool. Talking from notes, Anne Whitlock fcenterj speaks on a current topic treated in ten different issues of AMERICA. to which each member of the class subscribes. Apaches put many hours of preparation into these five-minute talks. Beverly O'Connor tleftl and Barbara McGowan await their turns, wishing they were as far along in the report as Anne. Second semester term papers, written on a topic treated in one or more papal encyclicals, also proved a challenge tc determined Apaches. I'AR'l'IlIIPA'I'ING IN THE Spanish program given De- cember 12, in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe fleft to rightl Barbara McGowan, Beatrice Sadulski, Alma Flores, and Mary Elizabeth Hurley, members of Spanish II, dance LA BAMBA. Juan Diego and the Virgin of Guadalupe, por- trayed by two students, were pictured in a tableau scene. Highlighting the same program were dances and songs characteristic of Spain, South America, and Mexico. ELEVEN SECOND YEAR Spanish students receive LA LUZ, a newspaper printed in Dallas for pupils studying the Latin American language. Individual attention, because of the size of the class, was given for the perfecting of accent.

Study maketh a maid wise. AS THE JUNIORS returned in September, the class of ,55 realized that their long cherished dream of becoming upperclassmen had come true. Wel- comed by their new home room teacher, Sister Rob- ertine, the girls prepared to embark on their third year of high school. FOUR CAPABLE GIRLS, elected as class officers on September 23. Floradel Green, president, Mary Jo Norman, vice-president, Maren Moser, sec- retary, and Bonita Fleetwood, treasurer, welcomed the new members in the class. Newcomers were in- troduced to the class patroness, Our Lady of Good Counsel, and the class mascot, Ferdinand. DURING OCTOBER, juniors made preparations for ordering class rings, gold with a red stone bear- ing the school crest. AMBITIOUS JUNIORS LED by Dolores Dowd and Evelyn Olsen worked hard at their Book Week ASSEMBLING A RELIGION bulletin board related to their study of the importance of the Holy Ghost's inHuence on the writers of Divine Scripture are Theresa Balsamo, Yolanda Contreras, and Patricia Crowley. Junior religion classes, this year, dealt chiefly with the work of the Holy Spirit in individual souls, in the Church, and in the com- munity. HOLDING PINS AND blue letters, these three ambitious juniors smile, hoping that as a result of their apostolic work, their classmates will heed the quotation from St. Jerome: i'To be ignorant of the Scriptures is to be ignorant of Christf, display, uKingdom of Biographiesf, which received the first place as the most originally decorated ex- hibit. WHEN THE YULETIDE season arrived, seven juniors were pleased when asked to participate in the Christmas festivities by playing parts in the Christmas play, December 17. Before enjoying Christmas vacation, beginning December l8, the class of '55 took part in the ASB party, followed by a class celebration. RETURNING IN JANUARY with added enthusi- asm, juniors eagerly planned the Miss OLP contest. After a hectic week of casting votes the victor to be crowned the Miss OLP was junior Joanne Wantuch. Her coronation dance, HEARTS IN SPRING-TIME, was sponsored by the junior class, February l9. SHOUTS OF JOY echoed from the junior class- room, March 2, as the long awaited junior rings ar- rived, now displayed proudly by juniors, assuring them that they are truly upperclassmen. OPENING WITH MASS and followed by breakfast, the juniors began their celebration in honor of Our Lady of Good Counsel, April 26. A pot-luck luncheon was enjoyed at noon, at which the conversation was centered on prospects for the com- ing Prom. T. Balsamo C. Borgerding Y. Contreras P. Crowley J. Cummins S. Dawson D.
