IN THE GREAT HAND OF GOD I STAND..U Last year, 1954, was a very special year because it was a Marian Year, that is, a year dedicated particularly to the patronage of our Blessed Mother. Mary must have blessed her children at Aquin on the night of December 1 because of the honor given to her in the Marian Year Celebra- tion. The program was a living Rosary. The prayers of the Rosary were said in the darkened gym, lit solely by candles carried by the members of the glee club. Choral readings accompanied the tableaux which realistically represented the Joyful mysteries of the Rosary This celebration was a fitting sequel to the Perpetual Rosary Crecitation of the Rosary in the Chapel every day of the school year during each period of the class day by two studentsl which has prevailed at Aquiu for the past five years.

Aquin students, under the guidance of Rev. Francis 0'Hara, were privileged to have a two-day retreat, on November 17-18. Father's unique ability to use 'pop' song lyrics and punch a point across in 'jive' really gave us our do's and don't's in our native tongue. Through this tech- nique he coupled our Faith with every day living in a way we could thoroughly understand. Our undying thanks to this servant of God who brought us so much closer to his Master. U..,besides, this man Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet tongued.H Aquin became a member of the Angelic Warfare Confraternity on March 4, when Father E.C.Baumhoffer, a member of the Diocesan Education Board, explained the purpose and organization of the confra- ternity to the students in an assembly. He and Monsignor C.F. Conley KDirectorJ invested each student with the St. Thomas cord and medal of the Confraternity. The name, Angelic Warfare, is de- rived from the title given to St. Thomas Aquinas, Angelic Doctor. Many popes, particularly Popes Leo X111 and Pius X1 recommended the Angelic Warfare Kits prayers and indulgencesl as a safeguard for the preservation of holy purity. Because Thomas Aquinas is the patron of their school, this enrollment held a special significance for the students of Aquin.
