Vice President Regina Ivory and President Sarah Pagnozzi prepare one of many display panels for the annual art show. Art remains a refuge of freedom in the restricted, im- personalized society of today. And so, on Tuesday after- noons, those at HA with an urge to express, converge in the art lab. The size of the club has made it advisable to divide the girls into two sections, each with its own moderator. During the first term the members experimented with various techniques in ceramics and block printing. The second term was mainly devoted to fashioning batik ban- ners. The felt and burlap creations resulting enhance various areas of the school. This year, the artistic element of the school had a wide range of media to further their originality. Art Club promoted seH expression One of the first steps toward a batik banner the creation of the design, is being com pleted by Marianne Alberse.

The Senior retreat at Long Branch is planned in advance by -Sodality Treasurer Ruth Fattori, Prefect Terry Glynn, Secretary Anne Gilroy and Vice Prefect Cathy Moes. Deeply concerned with the spiritual Welfare of all the students, the Sodality seeks to foster personal holiness through devotion to Mary. Renewing their dedication to the Sacred Heart, homeroom presidents lighted symbolic candles at an October 25th Sodality assembly. The emphasis shifted to the social on October 18th as freshmen and sophomores attended the annual mission dance. The feast of the Immaculate Conception was commemorated again this year at an assembly Where Senior Sodalists spoke on the various shrines through- out the World consecrated to the Virgin. An early Father-Daughter Communion Breakfast held on March 16 created a special occasion for angels and their dads to participate in a formal event. The Senior Retreat gave the girls a last chance for silent meditation before leaving Holy Angels. The still damp sand and crisp surf of Long Branch proved an ideal spot. The exchange of officers on May 16 guaranteed the continuation of this, the oldest spiritual organization at AHA. Sodality cultivated spiritual growth Two and one fourth cookie and eight and one third ounces of soda per couple were rationed out at the Soph-Frosh Mission Dance but nobody at this table seems to mind the meager fare.
