A Message from the Principal Sister Mary Carmel, Principal of the Academy, is always ready to give help and guidance to the students. With Sister are Phyllis Schuchart, Barbara Dare, and Jeanne Henning. My dear Students, New Frontière ! The 1960 campaign slogan has become the popular phrase of the year, most frequent in radio speeches, best seller at news stands, biggest attraction on TV channels. Thinking people know that new frontière are synonymous with self-discipline, challenge, strife. New frontière must be met, if succèss is the goal. Visible in your life pattern, too, are these factors of the new frontier: self-discipline so necessary to meet the daily challenge for the ever présent strife. It is the tiny acom of your daily contacts which, properly cultivated, will fructify into the mighty oak of your contagious influence for good. In short, it is the fulfillment of St. Paul s: Be ail things to ail men. M A sacrifice at dawn for the Food of the Angels ... a cheery good morning on a quite dreary day . . . A sup- pressed criticism of an absent companion ... a helping hand in the school’s latest drive ... a Word of encourage¬ ment to a less gifted classmate ... a note of congratulation for a work well done ... the power of good example for those who might fall ... a confidence well borne for the trust that’s placed in you . . . a pleasing smile passed generously on . . . sincere co-operation with God-given talents . . . Living the prayer, perhaps often repeated in your desire to leam Christ better; May no one be less good for having corne within my influence. No one less pure, less true, less kind, less noble for having been a fellow- traveller in our joumey toward ETERNAL LIFE. That the new frontière you face each day in your Christlike passing to Etemity will be met with a Marian vic- tory is my sincerest prayer for each of you. Devotedly in Notre Dame, 10

Every year the girls at Notre Dame choose their idéal girl, and call her Mary N.D. She is the girl equipped well for life and the vocation she has chosen under the guidance of Mary. Each graduate from the Academy should be a Mary N.D.. well prepared for a field she has chosen wisely. Seniors hâve made this decision, and their four years of learning are behind them. Each girl knows whether she has used well every advantage offered to her during the past four years. or whether she carelessly passed them by. Notre Dame has offered opportunity for learning in any walk of life. The example of the nuns, religion classes, and the chapel point the way to God. Business courses préparé girls for a career. Home Economies and the senior marriage course impart valuable knowledge of which expérience is a hard teacher. The academie subjects give depth to each of these fields, and are also stepping stones to college. Notre Dame, thus, truly préparés everyone of her graduâtes for life.
