Isa1ute you! There isnothingl can give you which you have not, but there is much, that, while I cannot give, you can take. No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in the present. Take peace.

On December 6, the members of Le Cercle des Etoi1es,A.H.N.'s French Club, gathered in the festively decorated dining room to take part in the biggest meeting of the year - the celebration of the feta de Noel. We sang all the traditional French carols, and were joined by our guests of honor, the faculty and non- members ofthe Junior and Senior classes. Sister Evan- geline Marie, Moderator, was presented with a set of books by the members of the French Club, and each person attending received the traditional Christmas gift from Sister. At the close of the meeting, the Sophomores served petits-fours and orange-ade on the candle-lit tables. After wishing each other JoyeuxNoel et Bonne Aimee, the members and guests drifted out of the dining room, humming the traditional French Club parting song, Bonsoir Mes Amies.
