An important one was correspondence with our men in Viet Nam. At a special N H S Assembly, to which the parents of the newly chosen members were invited, the new Senior group, consisting of Anne Chisholm. Elizabeth Culligan and Mari Schermeyer, and the six Juniors Barbara Blair. Heather Doheny. Mary Louise Dorman. Joan Fitzgibbon, Jamie Kreher and Michele Pyka received certificates of mem- bership and N H S keys. Since outstanding Scholarship. Character and Service are required for membership, it was a proud day for parents whose daughters were chosen for the honor. 32

Y C S Has Shown Us That Love Is “A Many Splendored Thing” This year Y C S—“YOUNG CHRISTIAN STUDENTS”—re- placed the Sodality at the Mount, since it was decided that Y C S stresses the apostolic and ecumenical spirit of Vatican II even more than the Sodality did. With SISTER JOSEPH MARIAN as its enthusiastic Moderator, projects which had been launched by the Sodality in previous years were contin- ued. and new ones were introduced. Just a few of these projects are illustrated here. In the photograph at the right. SISTER JOSEPH MARIAN checks two of the Thanksgiving cartons of food about to be placed in the bus which will take some of the Y C S-ers and the cartons to Warwick. The food will then be distributed to the poor of PINE ISLAND which is near Warwick. Above—Tht earnestness of E. CULLIGAN. M. A. DIORIO and J. SOMMER as they pack the cartons for PINE IS- LAND is clearly evident. This is a work of love for those less fortunate than they. 34 At the left—E. EDWARDS and C. MURA put the finishing touches to the beautifully decorated cartons of food con- tributed by the Sophomores.
