LTMA f .. sf f?W ARRANGING FALL FRUITS in the cornucopia for the Hawes! M0011 :lance are Mary Jo Batzcr, Tom Depner, Anne Bennett. M. -,L3gd7WZ726n FIRST HONOR STUDENTS Doug Snider, Marilyn Guldan, and Susan Reavis contemplate the coveted Challenge Trophy which their scho- lastic efforts helped win for the freshmen. Seniors were reluctant to see the trophy go from their classroom. Aptitude, Keys to Unity Midyear brought the awarding of the Chal- lenge Trophy given to the class that has achieved the most in the semester. Achievement is judged on the basis of attendance, promptness, and grade point average. Father Mai awarded the trophy to the Freshmen class on Jan. 29. Retreat, a time to examine one's values and draw close to Christ, started the second semes- ter. Guided by the Reverend Franz Shubert of the Downtown Chapel in Portland, students came to understand better the fundamental position of God in their lives, if they Wish to attain happiness or success.

GETTING LAUGHS from the audience, Larry Martin tries in vain to set up Michela Cruz's hair at the Freshmen Welcome Party. 71 THE MIGHTY FRESHMEN honor the faculty with the annual tea. Enjoying this pleasant afternoon are Virginia Rausch, Patty Meeker, Cheryl Dunn, Daryl Zapell, Mari- lyn Guldan, Edith Betschart, Mike O'Neil, Rita Dupray, Kerry O'Hara, and Larry Martin. , , DELEGATES to Boys' and Girls' State compare trophies and literature. They are Bob Farra, Sharon Roberts, and Marvin Frazier. Marv was also sent to the Oregon Student Council Workshop in Eugene. A school year contains much that is tradi- tional and much that varies from year to year because of differing circumstances and the in- itiative of the groups. Always September brings the welcome party for the freshmen. A formal entrance, with a brief test of talent and sportsmanship, refresh- ments, and a half hour's dancing was the pain- less prelude of high school citizenship. But a very few days later, these same frosh entertained the faculty with the traditional Mother Rose tea. The new status was worn with grace. Each summer, students go as delegates to different conventions or workshops. Then in the fall they share with their less fortunate fellows the knowledge and fun of experience. Such an assembly on Oct. I7 brought the results of Boys' and Girls, State, Summer School of Catholic Action, and Student Council Leader- ship Workshoia.

Clergy, Parishioners to Recreate Glamor FATHER Mt-LEOD READS THE GOSPEL at the his- toric Jacksonville Mass. One hundred years ago, the Catholics in Oregon built their second Church in jackson- ville, then a hustling, wild, gold mining town. That same small building, cleaned and polished, with only heating and lighting brought up to date, was the scene of the colorful Mass on Feb. 2. The official centenary Mass was cele- brated by His Excellency Most Reverend Ed- ward D. Howard, Archbishop of Portland in Oregon. Because of his many years of faithful work fixing up the old building, beautifying the cemetery, and serving the Catholics of the area, Father William McLeod was the natural heart of the commemorative ceremonies. A second centenary celebration, kept secret from the Sisters until Feb. 1, was the hundredth anniversary of the coming of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary from Montreal to Portland. But six short years later, St. Mary's was founded in the region's oldest city -Jacksonville. For 43 years, they had varying success, but with the decline of mining, and construction of the railroad through Medford, St. Mary's had to move. FATHER McLEOD EXPRESSES HIS THANKS for the parish celebration of the first Mass in his beloved Jack- sonville church. Listen are Fathers Walsh, Linehan, Mother M. Mark, His Excellency, Judge Ed Kelly, Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Snider, Mayor Snider.
