Religious Events Inspire Students The long awaited December fourth came as Father Wallin, CSP, opened retreat with an interesting conference on making ready for the birth of Christ. The following conferences also included an Advental theme which deepened the students' un- derstanding of Christ's birth. Another joyful event of the year was the annual Christmas program under the direction of Sister Michaela, OSB, and Mr. Robert Harris. The Kings' Star, based on Amahl and the Night Visitors by Gian-Carlo Menotti was presented by the Speech II and chorus groups on December 14 and 16. Girls of Speech I assisted as angels in this production. Amahl, a poor cripple, and his mother are visited by the three kings on their way to the stable at Bethlehem. A mira- cle cures Amahl and he makes the journey to the Christchild with the kings. The audience was held spellbound by the dramatization of a story that never grows old--the birth of Christ. Retreat master, Father Wallin, CSP, gives David Guggenberger, Dorothy Kammeier, and Sheldon Nies a last blessing before he leaves for his St. Paul residence. Part of the cast for The King's Star are: IQSIEELING: Dorothy Kamrneier, Jean Weber, Mary Reiland, Rita Eich- ers, Kathleen Eickhoff, John Schwagel, Marvin Schreifels. STANDING: Lucille Kneip, John Schoen, Margaret Heying, Joanne Gertken, Arnold Schueller, Marguerite Manuel. X s 'iid . I .IV ,P , If '

In the background Donna Bren, Ruth Zumwalde, and Marilyn Manuel attempt to compose captions for the senior pictures. ln an effort to provide the students of St. Boniface with an annual history, the yearbook staff with the able as- sistance ofthe faculty adviser, Sister Aquinas, once again pursued the art of putting out the Sabonite. The year the task seemed to be harder for the ensuing yearbook boasts 84 pages of the usual 76. Because of the impending Centennial celebrations ofvarious parishes and schools in this vicinity and in apprecia- tion ofthe Benedictine religious who have helped them attain their present status in life, the 1957 staff appropiately choose as their theme, Our Benedictine Heritage. The yearbook doesn't require only drudgery and work for besides the memories acquired working on this book two members, Rita llennen and A gnes Black, spent apleasantthree days attending a yearbook clinic at Ann Arbor Michigan, on August 21-'23, All of the 46 members deserve praise for the tireless endeavors they used to produce this preservation of memories. lt should be noted that the increased number of masculine members was a great in centive to accomplishing this feat.

Faithful Service to the School Our faithful clerks, mail boys, and courtesy aids enjoy a sniffofwinterair in time off. Before each class is over, a clerk steps into each room to pick up attendance slips, excuses, tardy slips, and other information. The mail boys walk up town every day during their study periods to pick up and mail the school's mail. The courtesy aids occupy the desk in the main entrance of our school and show visi- tors around, answer the phone when the office is deserted, or very faithfully help someone find a faculty member. Every other Tuesday thirty-one students hurry to the gym for a meeting with Father Vernon, O.S.B., moderator of the new Vocation Club. On the first meeting the club elected Dorothy Heying president, Jean Fuecker vice- president, and Mary Weber secretary. The purpose of the club is to promote religious voca- tions. Therefore the members decided to say three Hail Marys every night for vocations. Posters were made and put up in the hall to remind others and interest them in religious vocations. They also invited Sister Patrick Jo- seph, O.S.B., to talk to the girls about convent life Janu- ary 28-29.
