school, of which twenty-four are bound and kept in the library. Among the biggest collections of books are those on Literature, General References, Music, Church History, and Fiction. All the furniture is of the color school brown. The shelves are 6 feet 10 inches in height and the tables and chairs are from the Jasper Chair and The Jasper Desk Company. On the walls hang three of Sister Gregory's masterpieces. One represents Our Lord as presented to the people by Pilate when he said, Ecce Homo. Another represents St. Joseph with the Christ Child about the age of eight years. This picture hangs in the library as a continued act of thanksgiving to St. Joseph for the help he rendered in equipping the library with books and furniture. The third is a picture of St. Benedict holding his Holy Rule. On the counterheight shelving that holds the General Reference books, stands the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes with Bernadette, who is represented as a real peasant girl. It has been estimated by our librarian, Sister Therese, that an average number of 80 books leave the room in one day and as many as 40 to 60 refer- ence books are used. 0ne of the most popular books this year among the elders is Brother Petroc's Re- turn. This is so constantly in demand that it hasn't been on the shelf since June 13, 1938. Among the fic- tion, The Rosary, by Florence Barclay. Mary Roberts Rheinhart's books are excellent, especially The Circular Staircase. Myrtle Reed and Harold Bell Wright are other popular authors. The Sisters of St. Benedict at St. Paul's School in Tell City are starting a library and have 500 to 600 books. Toward the collection the A. I. C. library has contributed four sets of reference books and in all about 38 volumes. The library is making a collection of scrapbooks based on literature and religion, but others have been worked on. Elizabeth Lasher has been work- ing on those of The Tale of Two Cities, Romeo and Juliet, Jane Eyre and Lorna Doone. The worn-out books are rebound by Sister Georgina. About 500 volumes of these books, therefore, are in first-class condition. A. I. C. ACTIVITIES A. I. C. ACTIVITIES Music Department No idle hands canvbe tolerated in the busy workshop of the Music Department at the A. I. C. Sisters Cyrilla, Mary Robert, and Mary Anthony were busi- ly occupied with the twenty-five pianists, six organ- ists, two harpists, and thirty-five other students who struggled with various other orchestral instruments. Then there were Harmony classes, Theory classes, and Music History classes. The A. I. C. Orchestra The A. I. C. Orchestra, composed of twenty-four members, worked hard and faithfully this year un- der the able direction of Sister M. Cyrilla. The group participated in the Sectional Contest held at Huntingburg, Indiana, April 16 and won second place. Throughout the year they have lent willing assistance at the various entertainments. In Novem- ber they played at Dale, Indiana and at Ferdinand for the Christmas program. The Sodality is espe- cially grateful for the music furnished throughout Vocation Week.
