Roman Reminiscences might be the title of this picture, since Doctor Geo. johnson of Catholic University, His Excellency Archbishop Spellman of New York, and Monsignor Bonner are alumni of the Roman College.

The 1942 Senior Year was marked by an extraordinarily beautiful Holy Wleek be- cause of the retreat given by Doctor Cox to the Seniors. Two years ago junior Wfeek became junior Day with every minute of the day crowded with opportunities for the juniors to show their superiority.

IVIcDevitt, then Super' intcndent of schools, established the first central Catholic Girls' High School, there was much conjecture as to its success. Never hefore had Sisters of different Communities been asked to teach in one school. People of broad vision and high idealism felt that lvlonsignor McDex'itt's project was not only pioneering hut extraordinary progressiveness. Today, there are three other girls' high schools in Philadelphia hesides the original Catholic Girls' High School, now Hallahan. Some of the linest schools outside of this city have adopted the Philadelphia method. Doctors, lawyers, chemists, secretaries, typists, nurses, technicians. drcssmakcrs, designers, artists, Sisters, housewives, mothers--no roll call of achievement in livelihoods and character is complete withvut the names of graduates of these schools. Our school followed Hallaf hairs plan of many Communities. so that. today. seven groups of Sisters reach here. All homeroom Advisers teach Religion based on the radio broadcast. The Sisters who broadcast are Sister Theona, O.S.F., who instructs Seniors in Apologeticsg Sister Margaret, S.C.C., who teaches a course in Church History to juniorsg Sister Antonina, I.H.M. who 7 explains to Sophomores the value of the Mass.

'The Gleam' is hereli' Twice annually these phrases ring down West Cathof lic's halls. Pupils hasten to their home rooms where the Sisters sigh with pleasure at the stillness that falls on the girls as they leaf the book. Every edif tion is a prize winner so that the fact that the June issue was the only book in the State to receive first prize from the P. S. P. A. was no surprise. The Gleamu also claims AllfAmerican and All' Catholic honors. It's not all work for the busy members. Press Conferences, visits to printing shops are part of their routine. These gatherings oifer occasions for meeting wellfknown personages, and often give the staff an opportunity to garner valuable hints. Some' times, too, they have to reveal their own knowledge. Besides writing copy, proofreading, pasting, every member has a turn at all aspects of putting out a magazine.

This year two Mllsi- cales were held, the first at our school given by our own girls, the second at Town Hall in conjunction with Hallahan, Little Flower, Notre Dame, and Saint Hu- bert High Schools. Several of the popular selections for the Musicale here at school are Emperor Waltz by Johann Strauss, My Hero from the Chocolate Soldier, and Victor Herbert's selec- tion from the Fortune Tell- er. On the program for the Town Hall Mllsicale several numbers which would be a bright spot on any musical program, are London Again, A Brown Bird Singing, and Franz Lehar's Gold and Sil- ver Waltz.

VIICAL VELVET gg ND the raggle taggle gypsiesf' thus the Verse Choir chants a selection from their repertoire which ranges from the light and frolicsome Sir Egglemorev to the light and stirring Ballad for Americans. Some 50 members practice and are inf structed twice weekly by Miss Margaret Mzlry Kearney. Their days of ardent work have given hours of pleasant entertainment and memories to others. Those so favored are members of Frankford High School, Stevens School, Fleischer Vocational School, and listeners to WFIL on W8ShlHgtOIl,S Birthday. Of course, their own W. C. is not neglected for the Verse Choir contributes warmth and beauty to the Festivals and Christmas Play. Who wouldn't beam with pleasure after their success- ful contribution to a grand Musical given by W. C.? Here M. Friel, M. Reardon, A. Fagin are doing just that. F. Denning, M. Deems, M. L.
