“Let’s Face It” Chosen As Slogan By The Fathers And Friends Of The Mount . . . and a most appropriate slogan-considering the purpose of their fund-raising this year: To take care of the repairs needed on the EXTERIOR of Lindley Hall, our School Building Plans for the fund-raising have been discussed at each meeting of the Club, but it has become tradi- tional to formally launch the drive at the Father- Daughter Luncheon, which was held on Februarv 17th. The drawing for the Car, Colored TV and other prizes is scheduled for their last meeting, usually a Cocktail Party in May. Since September not a month has passed without some meeting or function that brought the Fathers and Friends together at the Mount. The tenth of September found the resident students arriving at the Mount, and with FRANK KOSCH as Chair- man of the Committee, a Cocktail Party had been arranged to welcome back parents who already knew each other and to provide an opportunity for parents of new students to meet. At the October Meeting, SISTER MARIAN SE- This is LINDLEY HALL our School Building. The recently-added L- shaped classroom wing is not visible from the front entrance.

 Juniors Arrange Stork Shower For Mrs. Barbara Van Pelt Her JUNIOR ENGLISH CLASS has decided that ‘7 is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. . . ” and when they realized that they would soon be losing MRS. VAN PELT they planned a Stork Shower for her. Much time, thought and work went into the planning and arranging. The Shower was held in 3-2. Festoons of pink and blue crepe paper hung from the ceiling. Walls, bulletin boards and blackboards were arrayed with balloons. The entire front blackboard was covered with suggestions of names for the baby. A Bulletin Board was decorated with dozens of pictures of babies from mazagine advertisements. Desks were grouped in the center of the room to form a large table, and covered with a stork-decorated paper tablecloth. Under a pink and blue umbrella were piled the beautifully wrapped gifts, special- As soon as the last gift had been unwrapped, the large cake was brought to be cut and served. Teen-agers enjoy a party any time of the day or night, and soon empty plates and bottles were all to be seen.

VAN PELT arrived for her 9:15 English Class, the SHOWER began. MICHELLE pinned a corsage on the Guest of Honor and each of the other members of the Faculty present received a tiny stork as a souvenir. The JUNIORS gave MRS. VAN PELT a few minutes to read the names suggested for the baby, and then urged her to begin opening the gifts—a process which they obviously enjoyed as much as she, for they were beautifully wrapped and chosen with care.
