Simplicity, sincerity, serenity, sympathy, and service are the attributes of a charming woman.' With compelling words, Retreat Master, Father William Ryan, SJ theology instructor at U.S.F., summarized the Seniors' Novem- ber Retreat. In his inspiring conferences, Father showed how Mary, in her perfection, was the personification of these virtues. FATHER RYAN, it was wonderful! Diane Tarantino and Marilyn Merlo echo gratitude of the 59er's. i USING FREE MOMENTS of silence for spiritual reading: Carolyn Sorriva, Marilyn Portman, Claire McDonald and Joan Garaventa. FATHER JOHN BRAD- STREET, SJ., Sophomore Re- treat Master, relates some of his experiences as a war chap- lain to Sandra Amstutz and Marisa Dryden. C SJ., FATHER DONALD BRACKT, S.M., Fresh- man Retreat Master, assists Nancy Maggio and Barbara Howard in renewing their bap- tismal vows. FATHER JOSEPH SAVELL, junior Retreat Master, pauses between conferences. Emphasizing her submission to the will of God and her complete selflessness, Father held up the Blessed Mother as the perfect model for every wife, mother, and nun. Three days of silence and meditation gave each senior a chance to reflect upon her plan of life and to survey her progress towards her final goal.
