Members of French Club experiment with new earphone equipment, guided by Sister Frances Marie. e erle des Etoiles At Holy Names we are fortunate in having an active French organization-- Le Cercle des Etoiles. This club offers entertainment and information on French culture to its members, who include second and third year students who have maintained an honor average in French. Every second Tuesday the French Club, under the direction of Sister Frances Marie, meets to present skits, re- ports, and information, to play games and to sing songs--all en francais. The year is highlighted by a traditional celebration in honor of La Fete des Rois. At this party each mem- ber looks for a pea and a bean, hidden in cakes, which will decide the king and queen of this French feast. The lucky girls this year were two juniors-Teresa Massimo and Leslie Hughes. This year Le Cercle des Etoi1es helped to finance the purchase of earphones and tapes which are used in the French classes. The officers of Le Cercle des Etoiles this year are Lynne Kaiser, president, and Judy Miller, vice -presi- dent. Camille Brosen and Donna Nealon serve as secretary and treasurer.

' The Holl Ball A winter wonderland of gold and white awaited the couples attending the annual Holly Ball. Whirling skirts of chiffon, taffeta, and satin filled the dance floor with a veritable rainbow of color. The Siena Collegians provided a variety of danceable tunes that be cko ned even the most reluctant dancers to trip the light fantas- tic. Refreshments, ever necessary to appease the high school appetite, were in plentiful supply. The happiness, mirrored in each face at the con- clusion of the l-lolly Ball, proclaimed it to be, indeed, the most wonderful night of the year. Two more belles, Sharon Dailey and Eugenie Leppert, and their beaus. The Grand March --- a wonderful climax to a wonderful evening!

Academy Athletic Unfair Competition The Academy Athletic Association was organized only two years ago. It was received so enthusiastic- ally that now, in its third year, it has earned for itself a permanent place in the activities program at AHN. The reason for this is simple - we have fun! We started off the year with Hi Day, a sort of combination-picnic and field day. Hi Day was inaug- urated that all members of our AHN family might become better acquainted. In this it surely succeeded: for how dignified can even. a Senior look while running in a three-legged race. Next came a real red-letter day. On October 22nd we went to West Point to see the A rm y vs. Villa- nova football game. Actually, we made history, because with us there, there were no losers. Army won the game, and Villanova won Murph. The real blue-ribbon winner was Eugenie, who won West Point! l-leady with the success of these undertakings, we decided to hit the big-time. So we sponsored aski- trip to Mt. Show in Vermont. What we lacked in skill, we made up in enthusiasm. l-leimie proved to be such a natural skier on her first attempts that by afternoon she was offering to give lessons to the more timid souls. Skiing is delightful, invigorating, and expensive, so, since the best things in life are free, we decided to sample some of them. Right in our own back yard were beautiful snow-covered hills, just what we need- ed for a toboggan party. Before long the hills weren't the only things covered with snow. The end of winter sports did not leave us idle. It was time to start the Intra-mural basketball to urna- ment. The Seniors had the doubtful honor of losing three consecutive games in the round -robin. The night of the final play-off saw the Freshmen pitted against the Sophomores. Before a' large and noisy audience the freshmen won .by 'oneupoint and the trophy moved down to 62S. As this goes to press, we are looking forward to the final Triple A treat of the yearg our annual trip to Rome. The girls are most hospitable and we can hope they haven't been doing a nything s ne aky like practicing! Culmination of Triple A activities.
