The entire student body was present October 23 when Sister Mary Robert administered the oaths of office. Class of ,59 Chooses Marianne Donnelly Marianne Donnelly accepted the office of senior class president at an assembly of the Class of i959 Sep- tember l9. As their vice-president, the seniors chose Patricia Feddo. Carol Giannini was elected treasurer, and Patricia Tupay was chosen sec- retary. Marianne, who is a science major, was secretary of her class in her soph- omore year, as well as a librarian in the Senior Chorus.

Pat was junior class president: Carol was president of her freshman class and is news editor of the Key- stone this year. The ceremony was opened with a prayer and a salute to the Hag. Catherine Brown, chairman of the in- stallation committee, gave the intro- ductory speech and presented Sister Mary Robert with a bouquet of roses. Catherine thanked Sister Mary Rob- ert on behalf of the students for her part in the formation of the Student Council.

Sister then tendered the oaths of office. Each of the officers upon accepting the oath of her office was presented with a symbol of her position. Jean as president received the gavel.

The other members of the Council took an oath pledging to do their best in promoting high standards and de- voting themselves to the service of the students. The assembly was concluded by a prayer for the intentions of the floly Father. Thanksgiving Thought This year, l958, has been marked by a recession. Every- one, in one way or another, has felt its effect and as Thanks- giving rolls near, people wonder, What do we have to be thankful for?,, If those people who take that negative viewpoint would kneel down for 3 minutes and count their blessings instead of their bills, their outlook would change. Cod has given us life and freedom. He has endowed us with good health and happy homes, and some of us just take these things for granted. lf we lived in Russia we wouldn't enjoy any of these. Nor would we know Cod, nor Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. We, as Catholics, should never have a negative attitude toward life. We have a faith to live by and a God to trust in. If we would just get down on our knees on Thanksgiving Day and thank God for our faith and freedom He would be satisfied. But to give Him full glory, we should not only thank Him on Thanksgiving Day but all through the year, for without Him we are nothing: The Pope Is Dead . . . V' Bi The Shepherd of Catholics the world over has returned to his Creator and his heavenly reward. Pius XII greatest Pope of the century, is dead. His valiant spirit gave way after I9 years of battling the forces of communism and persecution in the world. His I9 year reign began in March i939 when he was elected the servant of the servants of Godw by a conclave of the College of Cardinals. Among his encyclicals are IIumani Generis, which warned against the distortion of Catholic truths and 0rientales Ecclesiasf' in which he protested communist persecution of the Church. The dogma that the Virgin Mary was assumed bodily into heaven after her death, was also proclaimed. Upon his coronation, Eugenio Pacelli chose the name Pius, he said, Pius is the name of peace, therefore I will bear it.', lle never secured here on earth the true peace for which he worked so diligently, but in life everlasting may he find peace eternal. ' Kindly remember in your prayers: Miss Milleris brother Anita Wright's father Bose Noalfs sister Long Live the Pope . . . Viva il papa, was the joyous cry taken up by the 90.000 people assembled in St. Peter's Square October 23, when white smoke rose from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel. This smoke indicated that the half-billion Catholics the world over have a new leader. Angelo Cardinal Roncalli, former patriarch of Venice, was elected the 262nd successor of St. Peterg he shall reign as John XXIII because it was the name of his late father and brother. St. ,Iohn the Baptist is also the patron of the diocese of Venice. The Pope's 8 year term as apostolic nuncio to France lirmly established this man of God as a man of the peoplef, We entreat Thee most humbly, O Lord, that Thy boundless mercy may give the holy Roman Church a Bis- hop whose loving care in our regard will always be pleasing to Thee and, by his beneficent rule will always give glory to Thy Name and be deeply honored by Thy people. Mary, Conceived Without Sin I will put enmity between thee and the woman. In these words the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary was announced. December 8 marks this great feast in the Church. Mary, the Immaculate Conception, is the model for all young Catholic girls. The Virgin Mary was never under the power of the devil, she was conceived immaculately and born free from original sin. We are born with original sin on our souls, but we can strive to live a sinless life after sin is taken away. Maryes Immaculate Conception and perfect sinlessness prepared her for the divine maternity.

Inquiring Reporter What aspect of Freshmen Orientation Week did you like bestw? CARMELLA SIDOTE The part of Freshmen Orientation Week I liked best was the tour of the school given by Sister Amata. It ac- quainted me with all of the rooms and I learned many things that I didn't know before. We also had a demon- stration on how to open and close lockers correctly . . . it works! DONNA DAVID To me the best part of Freshmen Orientation Week was the day of the entertainment at the Senior-Fresh- men party. In addition to that, I found that the speeches gave me a broader view of our school and its functions. SHEILA BULGER I enjoyed the speeches which were given on the Thursday of Orientation Week. These speeches gave me an idea of all the activities O'Hern offers to its pupils. The talks were so good that I wanted to join all of the activi- ties but I only joined the Third Order. ROSEANN OTTAVIANI The part I liked best was the entertainment. I especially liked the play Classroom Clash. It was very funny and enjoyable. I thought it was very nice of the seniors to welcome us in such a sistcrly way. They made us feel right at home.

Cadet Dexter Wins Flight Scholarship Christine Dexter, a member of the Civil Air Patrol, came to classes the week of September 22 wearing her tailored light blue Air Force uniform. This diversion from the navy blue O'Hern uniform caused many stu- dents to inquire about the Civil Air Patrol and Christine's part in it. Corporal Dexter, a member of the CAP for two years, was authorized by the governor to wear the official Air Force uniform with CAP insignia, September 21-28, in observance of Civil Air Patrol Week. The Civil Air Patrol is a civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force. Its members, both cadet and senior, conduct search and rescue mis- sions and a program of aviation edu- cation for cadets. Christine was a Hight leader in Squadron 2 and has worked to obtain a radio operator's license. Her apti- tude for flying was further shown when she edged out seven boys in written and oral examinations to be- come the first area recipient of the David A. Newman Memorial Scholar- ship to take flying lessons up to the solo stage. Corporal Dexter hopes to become a flight nurse in the Air Force. How Bout That! Recently Kathryn O'Grady acci- dently asked Mrs. Creenough, Par- lez-vous francais? instead of asking her to repeat the question. ,lane McGee stole Santa Claus's wig for Miss Spoolie at the Fresh- man-Senior party. Everyone admired Patricia Tupay's poise when she very gracefully stepped into a wastepaper basket at the Senior dance Cby accident of coursej. Don't be alarmed if you hear heart- rending moans coming from the gym. It'll be Miss Halstead's gym classes doing exercises.

Congratulations to the girls in 403 for bringing in the high total for the Patron Drive. October l3 Adrienne Rusin, Pat Tupay, Lucy Poalucci, Arlene Draves. Pat Brown, .Antoinette Przybysz, Kathy Gosdeck, Maureen Harkin and Bonnie Keck were conducted on a tour of Rosary Hill's Campus. Why does Dianne Dietschler have an aversion to peas? Could it be be- cause Sister Marie Elizabeth per- suaded her to eat them? Rosemary Cherico, a sophomore, was elected president of Clee Club. Freshmen M. Castra, I.. Crunder pose during change rf classes. I WantTo Know Why I want to know why the signal at the corner of Main and Riley Streets doesn't give you time enough to cross the street. The light flickers to green, the sign says walk', and you start across the busy street. When you reach the center, the sign changes from walk to don,t walk. What does the city expect you to do then? If you stop walking altogether you'll be killed, but on the other hand, if you start to run and try to dodge the oncoming traffic, you have less chance than a baby who doesn't even know how to crawl. Does the city want future citizens or just over-crowded cemeteries? Reign of Terror Wednesday, October 29, Bishop O'Hern was the scene of a massacre. Girls waited in huddled masses. Then they filed to a small room for their inevitable fate. An authoritative voice echoed from behind the closed door, Next No escaping now. They walked in, terror in their hearts. Out- come: polio shots! Righties vs. Southpaws If you are right-handed you prob- ably have never thought about the problems of being a lefty.', Of ap- proximately 235 girls with whom I talked, about 7 per cent were left- handed, and they all had their prob- leins. The most common complaint, ex- pressed by Kathleen Trapper and Carol West, is that of being dubbed south-paw or dauber. Senior J acklyn Puerner complains, The girl next to me in homemaking is always bumping my armf, Eileen Hothow, a sophomore, says, When people walk down the aisle they always knock my books off my desk or bump my arm. Also, the light in a classroom always comes over the wrong shoulder for lefties.', Although I didn't meet any such people in my survey, there are a few fortunate people who are ambidex- trous. That is, they can write easily with either hand. This seems to be a happy solution, don't you agree? R. Dresser, M. Lisniewski and C. Piechnik prepare to rajle Hector O'Hern, the award their class received for highest class in the patron drive. Driver Poll Taken Licensed drivers total 26 as found in a recent survey taken throughout the junior and senior classes. Also among these classes there are 44 girls with drivers' permits, who have ap- pointments for drivers tests or who plan to take their tests before the ,58-,59 school year closes. One question asked in the survey is Have you had any accidents from which you have learned valuable safety lessons? This question was not very readily answered. But Janice Battaglia who is among the 44 girls with drivers' permits, did tell about her recent experience. She was mak- ing a turn when suddenly a man stepped from a parked car. He claimed Janice hit him even if only slightly. Janice went on to say she resolved to look on both sides instead of one when making a turn. Elaine Marracino said that she learned from experience that it is al- ways valuable to slow down before making a turn. She did not disclose the details of that experience. Student Pages Serve At Teachers'Meeting Virginia Balk and Elaine Robak acted as captains for the 20 junior and senior girls who assisted at the Catholic Teachers' Institute held at Memorial Auditorium on October 9 and 10. The girls gave out programs and registration cards and directed par- ticipants to the various displays and talks. Catholic Union Store Display Erected To inspire devotion to Our Lady, Father Cyril Trevett, manager of the Catholic Union Store decided to pro- mote October as the month of the rosary. O'Hern was honored when Father asked Sister Mary Robert if the students would work on a promo- tional display window to encourage the recitation of the rosary. Margaret Manthei, Margaret Grunzweig and Sharon Tarangelo un- der the direction of Miss Miller, who is in charge of the art department, il- lustrated and set up the window in the store. These students are taking commercial art and this gave them varied experience in window display. The display is simple in design and immediately conveys its message on sight. The entire window is blocked off by featuring a single portrait of Our Lady through a large horizontal scroll. The motto of this display is Lay aside maliceg pray for peace. To further this movement, Father Trevett has placed an altar and enough benches for passers-by to kneel and recite the rosary. O'Hern led the rosary on Tuesday, October I4. By their participation in this activity they have helped increase devotion to Mary. M. Pampalona sells milk to M. Pernick from the new milk stand built by Mr. Ott.

Amata. lts pur- pose was to help acquaint the fresh- men with the activities and organiza- tions of Bishop O'Hern through four assemblies held during the week.

Burke's request. the Stu- dent Council launched a Catholic Union and Echon subscription drive October 27. lt is Bishop Burke's wish that the diocesan newspaper be mailed di- rectly to every Catholic home. Each student had an opportunity to sell subscriptions, thereby fulfilling her duty as a lay apostle of the Catholic press. The Catholic Union and Echo is designed to give the Catholic point of view on all news, as well as the moral teachings of the Church. Each Student Council homeroom representative took care of the de- tails in her homeroom. To stimulate the girls to action the student council decorated the school bulletin board on the main floor in bold red and white. Slogans surrounded a replica ofa newspaper sheet containing a cap- tion on truth. Each school organi- zation was urged to support some program to further the subscription drive.

Carm. addressed the O'Hern student body October I4 on vocations to religious life. Father rendered the qualifications for entering the convent, and he said that there are vocations but some girls refuse God's calling. He stated some reasons why girls do not follow a religious vocation. Ignorance of the convent life and duties, or refusal by parents to allow their daughter to enter the convent may influence the girl. Father Myles concluded by urging each girl to pray for perseverance to follow a religious vocation, if she is called by God to do His work. Father also said a few words about the scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Did You Know? Because of the recent death of the Pontiff, Pope Pius XII, much atten- tion has been directed at this holy office. Here are some facts concerning the Popes of the past that might be of interest to you. Sergius began the custom of chang- ing the names of Popes in 687. His original name? Swinesnout! Sylvester II invented clocks in 999. In II9I Celestine III kicked the crown off the head of the Emperor Henry VI to show the world his power to make and unmake kings. Vicedominus died in 1276, the day after his election. Girls En ter Con vent O Lord, grant that I might know the vocation which Thou had des- tined me for all eternity . . . This prayer was answered in a spe- cial way for the 5 girls from O'Hern who entered the religious life this year. Carol Uhrich, a member of the class of '59, began her new life as a postulant at St. Mary of the Angels convent in Williamsville this year. Three graduates of last year's class, Kathleen Burke, Marion Moser, and Carol Smith together with Barbara Kush, a member of O'Hern's gradu- ating class of '57 have also entered. Upon visiting St. Mary's, the new joy found by the postulants shone radiantly on their faces. Third Order Sponsors Clothing Drive The Third Order sponsored a cloth- ing drive for the benefit of the children in Sister Borromeo's mission in Puerto Rico. The drive, under the direction of the Third Order moderators, Sister Marie Elizabeth, Sister Michael Ann, and Sister Jane Francis, commenced on September 6 and continued to October 3. The students collected many arti- cles of light summer clothing Cun- fortimately all girls who brought fur coats were turned down for obvious reasons.D In all, I2 large-sized boxes packed with clothing were sent. Library Council Commences Work This year, 33 girls, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, volunteered their services as Library Assistants. Lead- ing this group are its new officers- president, Georgeanne Baeumlerg vice-president, Susan Milburn, sec- retary, Louise Cascianog and treas- urer, Gail F assel. Sharon Tarangelo is in charge of the decoration of the large bulletin board. As chairmen of entertainment for the Library Council, Donna Quinn and Rita Rogers arranged the social given for new members after the Oc- tober meeting. To acquaint them with all the library functions new members also receive periodic training on li- brary routine. The book shelves have recently been rearranged, placed at the rear of the library. This gives more room for the reading tables and classes in li- brary instruction. Students Acquainted With Rosary Hill A member of Rosary Hill's faculty and three students presented to the junior and senior classes, October 7, a discussion on their college curricu- lum and social life. Sister De Sales, O.S.F., stated that Catholic youth can best develop everything God has given them by serving God and their fellow man to their greatest ability. Sister then enumerated the requirements needed for admittance to Rosary Hill and some of the possible scholarships available to those who wish to attend the college. The second speaker, Miss Mary Ann Haberman, presented an account of the curriculum offered to the stu- dents. She explained that Rosary Hill follows the concentration method, in which the last two years are spent in detailed work on the subject of your choice. Miss Mary Beth Michaels told of the social life at Rosary Hill, and mentioned the two main religious or- ganizations, the Third Order of Saint Francis and the Sodality of Our Lady.

DECEMBER, 1958 Members of the Senior Chorus practice for the Christmas Play The First Christmas. Christmas Play Has Franciscan Theme O'Hern's annual Christmas play was held Friday, December 19 and Sunday, December 21. The play, which centered on Father Francis and his Franciscan brothers, was under the direction of Miss Wes- ley. Tableaux were presented of the offering of the bread by Melchisedech, the Child Mary and her parents Ann and Joachim, the Annunciation and the Journey to Bethlehem. In the play, Father Francis and his brothers built their own Christmas crib and the town of Greccio became the new Bethlehem. The main characters were Francis played by Patricia Feddo, Giles played by Elaine Insana, Brother Leo played by Angela Kasprzak and John portrayed by Mary Teresa Beilman. The Senior Chorus and Glee Club sang many selections including O Come, O Come Emmanuel, Raise Your Voices, The Annunciation, Who'll Give Us Shelter, Bring Your Torches, Behold a Simple Tender Babe,', Angels from the Realms of Glory and O Come all Ye Faithful. Patricia F eddo sang Carol of Birds. They were all under direction of Sister Albert Ann. x Sister M. Borromeo Interviewed By Mail In a recent interview by mail with Sister Borromeo, our former princi- pal, the Keystone was able to secure her answers to various questions. The following are excerpts from her letter which we feel would be of interest to you. What are some unusual Puerto Rican customs? During Catholic Youth week the high school pupils in the area met at 5 A.M. and formed processions in the streets singing and saying the rosary, every morning. This is done every first Saturday in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. During parish missions, promptly at 5:30 each morning the Rosary and Processions are started. Between dec- ades, hymns are sung by the faithful as they make their way through the streets carrying lighted candles. For nine days before Christmas, folks come to early Mass and play guitars, snap castanets, shake mar- acas, slap tambourines. The music Continued on page 11 Annual Retreat Dates Set During January The annual retreat will be con- ducted by a Franciscan from January 26 to January 28. These three days of contemplation are held every year to give the girls time to think of spiritual things, set aside worldly thoughts and thus bet- ter their own lives as well as the lives of their families. Each day will begin with Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Church with brunch to follow in the cafeteria. Throughout the day conferences will be heard. There will be time for spiritual reading and private medita- tions. Seniors Anticipate Annual Ring Day Ceremony, Dance The morning of January 30, will End the class of '59 on a cloud of joy and anticipation. On this day, in a memorable ceremony to be held in the school chapel, the 146 members of the senior class will formally receive their class rings, proof that their dreams of becoming seniors have finally come true. Mass will be offered in the chapel that morning and the traditional ring ceremony will be held. The girls will be presented with a symbol of unity and life long loyalty to Bishop O'Hern. The prayers said while bless- ing the rings signify faithfulness and obedience to God's holy will and im- part special blessings to the girl on whose finger the ring is worn. As the seniors kneel at the Com- munion rail, their rings will be indi- vidually blessed. Benediction will then end the morning ceremony. To climax the day the annual Ring Dance will be held in the auditorium. Patricia Feddo, chosen as chairman of the dance by the senior class, will be assisted by Arlene Draves, co- chairman. L. Field, A. Pecqueur and S. Helminiak, dis- play their new class rings. 1 The True Spirit of Christmas Beneath the fragrant Christmas tree lie piled the gifts in their gay wrappings. In the first glow of the ribbons, pause to remember the meaning of presents on Christmas Day. A Christmas gift symbolizes the love that Christians bear to one another, in the name of One Who loves us all. To save us from our own foolishness and from all our sins, Christ came down to Earth and gave Himself. To judge a gift on its cost rather than the love and thought behind it is contrary to the Christmas spirit. In all that you yourself may give or receive, let there linger a hidden gleam of the greater love that gives Christmas its real meaning-the love of God for man. Food For Thought World government will end wars, and will enable men to live in peace as brothers. These are the words of an advocate of world government. This sounds too good to be true-no war, no killing, no rivalry. But can it ever be? Can men ever live together as brothers without ac- knowledging God as the Father of all men? Accepting world government means accepting socialism. It means foregoing national traditions. Do the so-called world citizensw expect us to give up our tradition and beliefs for this? Each nation will have one vote in the world government. The United States, one of the strongest nations on the face of the earth, will have one vote. Tiny communist-run Lithuania will have one vote. What influence will our one vote have among the flow of communist opposition? The Future Citizens of the World tell only half the story, the half which will inHuence peace-loving people. They never answer the questions of the opposition. Where will the new Capital be? Who will be the elected leader of this new organization? Or will he be elected at all? Finally, what kind of citizens will the government pro- duce? The new citizen of the world will be a person devoid of character, loyalties and ambition. He will be a robot, doing as he is ordered. He will be just a number existing only for the betterment of the state. Think! Think well before you consent to play such a part. Remember, the future of America is in your hands. 2 Holy Family Sunday January 11, marks the feast of the Holy Family in the Church. The special devotion which designates the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph as the model of virtue for all Christian households began in the 17th century. Family prayer and Communion is urged on this impor- tant feast day. Go as a family to Mass and Communion January 11, the feast of the Holy Family. Remember, the family that prays together stays to- gether. Pity The Wind Gusty winds roam 'bout the trees, Lonesome prowler seeking keys. In the stable Jesus lies, Out of doors the outcast sighs. Shaking timbers, banging walls, Open wide, the vagrant calls. No one hears, silence reigns. Lonely tramp moans down the lanes.

Franciscan Motherhouse Is Scene Of Students' First Day of Recollection .luniors and seniors were invited to attend the Third Order Day of Rec- ollection November 11, at St. Mary of the Angels in Williamsville. Registration took place from 9:30 to 9:45, followed by private devotions in the chapel. To know God, to love God, and to serve Godf' was the theme of the first sermon of Father Greco, O.F.M. Private devotions fol- lowed the sermon. Third Order Mem bers Get Symbolic Cords Presentation of cords to new mem- bers and reception of Third Order cordbearers, took place December 5. Ofliciating was Father Evan Greco O.F.M., spiritual director of the Third Order. The Cordbearers Confraternity ad- mits to its ranks those who are too young to join the Third Order. St. Dominic, a friend of St. Francis, asked the latter for his cord and he wore it for the rest of his life. Many people followed St. Dominic's example, thus originating the Cordbearers Confra- ternity. A symbol .of humility and penance, the cord is also worn to honor St. Francis and obtain graces. Participa- tion in many of the spiritual privileges granted to members of the Francisan Order is allowed to the Gordbearers. C. Fontana speaks with K. Burke, a member cy' last pvear's graduating class. Those attending participated in a dialogue Mass. which began at 11:00. All who attended received Holy Com- munion. Following the Mass, Father Greco delivered a sermon concerning vocations. Juniors and seniors separated into two discussion groups at 12:00. Fa- ther Greco conducted the senior dis- cussion concerning college and ca- reers. Father Philip Rene' O.F.M., conducted the junior discussion deal- ing with the general aspects and problems of a high school student. Then girls lunched from 12:30 to l:l5. Following lunch, the Seven Joy Rosary, led by Marie Leopold, Third Order Prefect, was recited in the chapel. From 1:30 to 3:00 those attending were given time for their own em- ployment. Private prayer, medita- tion, spiritual reading and visits with priests, novices and postulants were the central activities of this free time. Walks around the ground were conducted by novices or postulants who were former O'llern students. Holy Hour from 3:00 to 4:00 con- sisted of the recitation of the Cath- olic Youth Adoration Prayers, a ser- mon by Father lflvan concerning the Mass and Bene-diction. The Holy Hour climaxed the Day of Recollec- tion and at 4:30 the girls boarded a chartered bus to return to their homes. K.

Well as a committee of one, I represent every O'Hern girl. All of us have tried to be good this past year. We did keep detention slips at a mini- mum. Our list is short because as the Christmas spirit fills our hearts, we think of the millions of other bobby- socks just begging to be filled Christ- mas morning. Christmas is the time for giving and helping our fellow man. Therefore, during this season we are all going to try to spread peace on earth to men of good will. But please, dear Santa, don't forget to bring Susan Seguin quick and easy short- hand lessons. She's secretary of our Student Council and really needs them. Elaine Marracino and Mary Meiler, who accompany the Senior Chorus and C-lee Club, hope you won't forget to bring a black baby grand piano for each of them. And we all pray, St. Nicholas, that you will fill our hearts with the true and holy spirit of Christmas. Help prepare our hearts to welcome the Christ Child on Christmas morning. We hope this letter Ends you and your staff prepared for your annual midnight ride. A Merry Christmas. Yours truly, An O,Hernite 5 Q I 12 'I of 5. ho' 4 I V ..

These are the aguinaldosf' e The parrandas are serenades made by groups of Christmas carollers. These folks pass through the streets of the parish at eveningtime, playing and singing the 'catchy' Christmas carols of the island. Those serenaded enjoy the music as much as do the serenaders, with the result that sweets, treats, and cash offerings are bountifully bestowed upon the artists. I am looking forward to Christmas. I know these things only from others. How do the teenagers in Puerto Rico compare with those in the U.S.? That's hard to answer, since I have had very little contact with teenagers here, but since I love all teenagers, they must be just about the same. However, we rarely see a girl in shorts here, and if we do, we look twice and find that she has come from the States. They don't chew gum very much either. I'll study the situation and let you know more about them later? What methods do you use to hold the attention of pupils during the con- tinuous hot weather? The children are accustomed to the hot weather. In fact, they think Sister IW. Borromeo is greeted by a Fralzciscull Father. it is cold now. So the same methods can be used all year round. Naturally hot weather makes a great deal of dif- ference. It does not 'make one feel like rushing around and doing a brisk day's work. People do not rush as they do on Main Street or Ellicott St., and the children are very restless. Much of their classwork is done in chorus, and since there are no win- dows in the classrooms, the sides are all open, we do not have the quiet corridors of Oillern. It certainly is different, and adaptability is our by- wordf, What does the Mission need most?

The fol- lowing relates but a few of the age-old Christmas traditions of other lands. In Poland, Christmas Eve is a day of strict fasting until after dark. Here it is customary to begin feasting after the first star has appeared in the sky. Before eating, blessed oplatek fbread which is in the form of hostsj is passed around to all. This is a symbol of each person wishing the other a Merry Christmas. France makes a great fete of Yule- tide. On Christmas Eve, children ex- pect either the Christ Child fPetit Noell or Father Christmas fPere Noelj to Gll their shoes with candy and toys. People attend Midnight Mass on Christmas live and then make merry at family gatherings called r6veillons. In Germany, the Christmas season begins with the feast of St. Nicholas on Dec. 6. On this day, the good chil- dren receive gifts from a man dressed as St. Nick. On Christmas Eve, the family gathers around the Christmas Tree to sing the traditional carols. Also on Christmas Eve, the family eats the lebkuchen , a Christmas honey-cake. On Christmas Eve in Italy, the children gather around a huge pres- ipio fcribj to recite poems. After they have gone to sleep, an old woman, La Befana, who is dressed in rags and rides a broomstick, comes and leaves giftsin the shoes ofthe good children. At midnight, bells call everyone to Mass. In Scandinavian countries, the Yule celebration begins on Christmas Eve and ends in a Twelfth Night party. On Christmas Day, country people go to church while it is still dark. Then they rush home, for the first to arrive is said to be sure to reap his grain first in the next summer,s harvest. In Rumania on Christmas Eve, families bake a special cake to repre- sent the swaddling clothes of the Infant Christ. ll How Bout That Adrienne Rusin, Jane McGee and Joan Stoklosa gave a free lesson on table manners to the citizens of Ash- tabula. The girls, aboard a Cleveland bound train were caught eating their breakfast in the middle of Main Street! If you see a handsome Frenchman muttering to himself as he makes his way through the halls, it is only Charles Darnay on his way to the Sophomore English classes. The ,I oe Hayes musical comedy, Head Over Heelsv that ran from November 6-I2 at Timon, was bright- ened by O'Hernites Norine Bain- bridge, Ann Vitello, Carolyn Swac- ziak, Patricia Holdner, Catherine Dietl and Judy Setlock. Sister Marie Elizabeth's pupils were a little startled when Sister made the alarming announcement that she had forgotten to turn off the soup in the homemaking room. Luckily Sister St. Edward had turned it off, thus avert- ing the first soup flood in history.

Caparaso donates to the Sodality and Third Order baskets for the poor. 12 A. Kasprzak discusses her trip to Nlercy Col- lege with J. Battaglia. Mercy College Visit Subject Of Interview To spend a weekend at the college of one's choice is a wish every senior would like to see fulfilled. Angela Kasprzak had this wish come true September 19. She and her parents motored to Mercy College, Detroit where Angie won a scholar- ship. This scholarship was awarded to her for being the Best Actress of the Year in last year's play, A Young Lady of Property. Angie spent her time with a sopho- more, with whom she attended such classes as French, philosophy, and dancing. She met the president, regis- trar and drama teacher. Replied Angie when asked what she thought of the school, I thought it was very modern, and I felt right at home, since the girls were as friendly as the girls here at O'Hern. I enjoyed staying in the dormitory and I hope I can meet the school's standards. Angie is planning to major in dra- matics with French as an elective. As to her future she said I am unde- cided--in time I will choose work- ing towards being either a television director or a drama teacher. To climax her stay, Angie attended a football game at the University of Michigan which is near Mercy Col- lege. In your charity, please pray for the repose of the soul of Sandra Ferranti's father. Mrs. Nicholas Pinto Wins T1 0. Raffle Excitement and joy prevailed in the Pinto household November 3, when Mrs. Nicholas Pinto was told that she had won the 18 piece Christmas crib set rafHed by the Third Order. Mrs. Pinto said she had never won anything like a china crib and the initial shock of such a thing happen- ing to her was overwhelming. She saw the set displayed at the Parents' Tea last year and she ad- mired it for its exquisite structure and detailed design. Therefore, when the china crib was donated to the Third Order to raffle for the benefit of the Puerto Rican mission, Mrs. Pinto knew she had a chance to acquire the ensemble. Out of the many chances sold, she did win and during the Christmas sea- son the crib will be displayed on a green velvet background in the Pinto living room. Mrs. Pinto is the mother of Vir- ginia, a junior and active member in the Third Order and Senior Chorus. ft ai.z3W B. Manthei, M. Zientek, and S. Birmingham display chart during F rerurh class.

Tarangelo poses with Bridgitte 0,Hern the school manikin. Manikin Finds Home In 0'Hern Library A few weeks ago, a pretty manikin grew weary of the people's stares through the windows of a city depart- ment store. She longed to be someone worthy of praising comments. She soon was adopted by O'Hern's Li- brary Council and named Bridgitte O'Hern. As O'Hern,s teenager, she wore the typical uniform consisting of a navy blue jumper and blazer, a white blouse, saddle shoes and white socks displaying it proudly at the Parents, Guild Tea. Just recently she had been out- fitted with the famed pages of the Union and Echo. Since she has been placed in the library everyone is wondering just what role she will por- tray next. Did You Know? December 25 was a festive day for the sun god Mithra. This day ap- pealed to Christians as a date to cele- brate Christis birth not only to com- pete with the pagan customs, but also to honor the Light of the World.', Diocletian, a Roman emperor, heard that Christians had assembled in multitudes on December 25 to cele- brate Christ's birth. He then ordered the doors of the church shut and the church set afire. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologicaf, the 3 Christmas Masses symbolize the 3 births of Our Lord. The Midnight Mass symbolizes the Son's birth of His Father in Eternity, the Mass at dawn, of the Blessed Virgin in time, and the Mass during the day in the hearts of the faithful. Lupi has shown that there is no month of the year to which respect- able authorities have not assigned Christls birth. In 1223, St. Francis of Assisi orig- inated the Christmas Crib. Christmas celebrations were for- bidden in England by an act of Par- liament in 1644. There were no inns in Bethlehem. The people living there were expected to be charitable enough to shelter visitors. St. Boniface, English mis- sionary to Germany in the 8th cen- tury, originated the custom of the Christmas tree. Health Science Offers Many Useful Careers With the coming of Christmas the thoughts of many turn to how they also can help mankind. One answer to this is a career in health science. Probably the most important per- son next to the physician is the public health educator. Through his efforts the public is educated so that they are able to prevent disease before it has a chance to start. Assisting the physician is the med- ical technologist who performs labo- ratory tests. The X-ray technologist also helps the physician by taking X-ray pictures of the patient, ena- bling the doctor to spot a disease. Registered nurses are also part of the team which helps to get a person well. It is their job to see that the patient carries out the orders of the doctor. The motto of the occupational therapist is Helping others to help themselves. Occupational therapy helps the sick through creative, in- dustrial, recreational and educational activities. Through these jobs and others, a person is able to help others while he himself is engaged in an interesting and rewarding career. 16:1 A. Burgard makes use of the new Sodalit-v pamphlet rack. Pamphlet Rack Set Up In School Library I am the Sodality pamphlet rack made by Mr. George Ott. I have been permanently installed in the library. Because of my newness, I have been eavesdropping lately to determine for myself the reaction to my usefulness. I have heard many pleasant comments. Frances McGinty, a senior, thinks I do quite well in featuring pamphlets concerning teen-agers and their prob- lems. Sandra Wessel, a junior, con- siders me a splendid gift from the Sodality that can be a beneht to the entire school. Bonita Belz, a sophomore, thinks I am a good idea in the cultivating of a spiritual nature. Mary Ellen Stude, a freshman. says that my ideas have straightened out some of her questions concerning the Church and its teach- ings. Use my pamphletsg they are there for your beneht and will aid you with both your social and spiritual life. Peace A worrisome activity Permeates the earth. The old out-moded cast away, The brand new brought to birth. But once a year the earth is filled With peace so sweet and mild, As mother earth falls on her knees In reverence to a child.

Stoklosa each won New Yorlf State Regents Scholarships. .ll. Beilman also lcon a Yursing Scholarship. Two Seniors Receive State Scholarships Mary Teresa Beilman and Joan Stoklosa, two seniors, received New York State Regents Scholarships. Mary, a science major, won a gen- eral scholarship as well as a nursing scholarship. She is a member of the Library Council, Sodality of Our Lady, and Senior Chorus. She is also a news reporter on the Keystone. Joan has majored in mathematics and is completing a science major this year. She is also a member ofthe Key- stone stall. Joan plans to enter Rosary Hill College this September to study Medical Technology. Sorry, Wrong Season Being a progressive publication, the Keystone began giving Easter Greetings early this year. ln fact, in the Christmas issue 'Happy Plaster was published supposedly in Italian. You guessed it: Felicis Pascuasw means Happy Easterfi in Spanish! Apologies to those who tried to wish their Italian neighbors a Merry Christmasw by following our Spanish translation. We Ugoofedf' l This Is For You Attention! You can be rewarded for your scholastic standing, cooperation, and participation in extracurric- ular activities. How? With an award presented by the Student Council. The newly formed Student Council tackled its first major program for this semester by organizing a fair and effective merit system. A set number of points will be determined and every girl with the required number will receive recognition. It has not yet been decided what type of laurel will be used. With Sister Mary Robertls approval, the new plan will go into effect. To the Student Council goes credit for fulfilling one of the purposes for their existence-to encourage school spirit -not to mention rewarding deserving students. We have reason to be proud of our officers and representatives. They have drawn up the framework and determined the goal. The rest is up to you. Poems Accepted For Publication Mary T. Beilman, Christine Dexter, Marcia Mlynarczyk and Carol Zakrzewski are to have their poems printed in the 1959 edition of the American Anthology of Poetry. Each year this organization sponsors a poetry-writing contest among the nationls high school students. From the poems submitted they select the best works for publica- tion. 0,Hern's winners and their poems are: Mary T. Beil- man, Night, Christine Dexter, Sunset Flight, Marcia Mlynarczyk, Bellsg,, and Carol Zakrzewski, White Wild- ernessf' Sunset Flight Infinite splendor flying high, Sunset shades an azure sky, Blending its rosy golden hue, With evening tones of darkening blue. A giant melted marshmallow cloud Covered with evening's dusty shroud Is sprawling in the eastern sky, Waiting for the wind to sigh. No atheist lives in the airman's realm Its beauty patterned to overwhelm, For in its wonder he may see How magnificent God must be. -CHRISTINE DEXTER White Wilderness Tiny white droplets fell one upon another, They changed the world of grass and leaves To something different, something beautiful. This new world is mine to dwell in. You may have the grass and leaves, The vast white wilderness is mine. -CAROL ZAKRZEWSKI 2 Letters To The Editor Dear Editor: It is my opinion that most of the girls at O'I-Iern do not realize the importance of mission projects or the dire need that some mission areas are in. The C.S.M.C. CCatholic Student Mission Crusadej, newly formed at O'Hern, has as its goal a desire to infuse in the girls a mission spirit and a desire to help the missions. I think that if the girls supported this along with the Third Order and Sodality mission projects they would beneht greatly along with the missions. Sister Borromeois letter, in the previous issue, also brought home the fact that a mission spirit is needed at O,Hern to help make her efforts a success. Sincerely yours, VIRGINIA BALK Dear Editor: I feel that constructive criticism is good and leads to needed improvements. But to criticize without presenting a possible solution to a problem or doing something to bolster a desirable remedy is unreasonable. Many girls attend class meetings and remain mute throughout the entire procedure. These are the ones that frequently Hnd fault with some measure that has already been passed. The time to voice one's criticisms is when a thing is under dis- cussion and not after. If a person does not speak his mind at the proper mo- ment, he has no right to complain about something that has already been decided upon. If a girl has done her best to promote a plan that she feels would be helpful, even if it is defeated, at least she will have the consolation of know- ing that she tried. But to those girls who are indifferent or wonlt even attempt to work for something that they want, I would say-don't complain! Yours truly, MARCIA MLYNARCZYK z A Keys tone ,s q rss.

Seniors, Fathers Attend Breakfast, Set New Precedent The first Father-Daughter Com- munion Breakfast was held at Bishop O,Hern, Sunday, January 25. The seniors with their fathers attended Mass and received Holy Communion in the chapel. Then they were served breakfast in the cafeteria. Father Duggan, a member of the faculty of the Diocesan Preparatory Seminary, spoke first to the fathers, reminding them that earthly gain is not the reason for their existence and that this gain will never bring them eternal happiness. He then told the senior class that the beauty of the soul is much more important than the beauty of a physical being. There is nothing more beautiful, Father said, than for a woman to work hard on this earth, thereby fulhlling the pur- pose for which she was created, mainly to add beauty to her soul. Then, speaking to the entire group, Father Duggan quoted these words from The Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson: Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the Kingf' These were the oaths of King Arthur's knights, he explained, and so should they be ours as knights of God. At the head table were: Mr. God- 'frey Uhrich, toastmaster, Father Daniel Duggan, the guest speaker, Mr. Robert Gregg, president of the Parents' Guild, with his daughter Susan, Mr. Ronald Gosdeck, a mem- ber of the Board of Directors, with his daughter Kathleeng and Marianne Donnelly, Senior Class President, with her father, Mr. Vincent Don- nelly. K. Gosdeck, S- Gregg, Mr- Gregg- F ether D- D an and Mr. C. Uhrich enjoy the delicious brea ast at the Seniors F ather-Daughter break- 'gif fast.

Freshmen Triumph Miss Halsted accompanied 32 fresh- men on a toboggan party February 7, at Chestnut Ridge Park. They won the trip by having the least absentees in the school competition. The girls had lunch and then began their tobogganing. As sometimes hap- pens on such trips, there were minor casualties. They all occurred on the same ride, when the toboggan turned over. Kathleen King, scraped the skin above her eyebrowg Rose Ann Zizzi bruised her cheekbone and Mary Ellen Collins broke her glasses. Miss Halsted reports that she would like to run another contest as soon as possible, but, of course, with a dif- ferent prize. A. A. Milne's uUgly Duckling was given Sunday afternoon. March 15. This is the seventh annual one-act play competition. Princess Camilla, portrayed by Angela Kasprzak, is the central figure of the play. Plainness had marked the princess, thereby' presenting obstacles in regard to suitors for marriage. Dis- turbed because of this condition, the king, portrayed by Jeanne Mayer, and the queen, portrayed by Christine Dexter, draw up a plan which will gain the princess a suitor. Fearing that he will lose his high position, the Chan- cellor, portrayed by Sandra Dollinger, agrees to the plan. Dulcibella, a servant played by Marianne Donnelly is instructed to identify herself to the suitor, Prince Simon, as the Princess Camilla. Doubting that he will please thc princess, Prince Simon depicted by Carol Ciannini, likewise dispatches his valet. Carlo, portrayed by Cath- erine Dietl, to meet the princess. Beauty is mysteriously conferred upon Princess Camilla. Following a strange course of events and disguised meetings, Prince Simon and Princess Camilla consent to marriage. Other participants in the play were: Elaine Insana, Johanna Kdams and Susan Sequin. Bliss Helen Wesley, dramatic coach. directed the play. 3 Father Drolet Speaks The annual Sodality Day of Recol- lection was held February 8, at Mount St. ,loseph's Academy.

Griffin, 0.M.I. imparts a blessing upon the senior class rings. This blessing will give special graces to the girl on whose finger the ring is worn. Ring Dance Is 0ver But Memories Linger The music of the Campus All-Stars filled O'Hern's gym January 30 for the annual Senior Ring Dance. This event ended a day on which the seniors oHicially received their school rings at a Mass and ring ceremony in the Chapel. Plans for the dance were formulated by Patricia Feddo, chairman, and Arlene Draves, her co-chairman. Pat- ricia Tupay, head of the decoration committee, planned the gay pink and white streamers which hung from a pink ball in the center of the gym to silver hoops on the wall. A large gold ring at the entrance of the gym sym- bolized the theme. During the evening, Margaret Keeley and her date, John Zavitz, were crowned king and queen. Chair- men of the various other committees were: .lean Unger, refreshments, Alice Garrigan, chaperons and Dianne Dietschler, tickets. Junior class volunteers served on the checking and door committees. Several senior parents chaperoned the evening. Senior Rings Blessed In Chapel Ceremony The seniors formally received their rings January 30 following a Mass in the school chapel. The girls attended Mass celebrated at 8:30 by Father Lawrence Griffin, O.M.I. After Mass six girls at a time went to the com- munion railing for the individual ring blessing. Father Griffin addressed the future graduates briefly. He reminded the students that in future years the rings would recall to mind the ideals and principles that were instilled in them during their years at O7Hern. Council Members Attend Convention Louise Casianio, Elaine David, Joan F lory, Elizabeth Frick and Marie Leopold attended the Spring Student Council Convention March 7, at Mt. St. ,losephls Academy.

The six discussion groups included family spiritual and social life, leisure time, home safety, economics and education. Seniors: P. Tupay, A. Rusin, J. McGee, C. Dexter, C. Kelchlin and their dates pose at a punch party previous to the Ring Dance. Students Benefitted By Annual Retreat Bishop O'Hern's annual retreat was held .lanuary 26 to 28 under the direc- tion of Father John Faddish, O.F.M. and Father Nicholas Tinney, 0.F.M. Mass was offered each morning at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, fol- lowed by brunch in the cafeteria. Three conferences were held daily. The freshmen and sophomores had conferences in the gym. Father Nicho- las was retreat master. The junior and senior conferences were held in the chapel under direction of Father John. The retreat also included spiritual reading, meditation and rosary in the homeroomsg and Holy Hour in the chapel. Benediction supplemented the day. Did You Know? Originally Lent lasted only 40 hours! This represented the number of hours that intervened between the Death and Resurrection of Christ. The original rule of fasting during Lent allowed one meal a day and that meal only in the evening. Meat, milk, cheese, and eggs were forbidden dur- ing the entire period. CThis rule lasted until the l3th century.j .According to St. Bede, the word Eastern is derived from the Norse l5astre or 0stara, meaning the festival of spring at the vernal equi- nox, March 2l, when nature is in resurrection after winter. The earliest possible date of lflaster is March 22 and the latest is April 25. Ash Wvednesday was first confined to those performing public penances. lts universal use was later sanctioned by Pope Celestine III in ll9l. Originally the liturgy of Easter was intimately connected with the Bap- tism of catechumens and their first reception of Holy Communion.

Located in the basement next to the locker room, it is a place of much chatter and clatter after school. At first it was used as a lunch- room. A few years ago the snack bar was adopted and through a contest offi- cially was launched as the Huddle.', The object of this place is entertain- ment, relaxation and enjoyment for the whole student body. The Hud- dle has its own combination radio and record player usually tuned to one of these radio stations-WKBW, WNIA, WBNY and WINE. This creates mood music for dancing or just relaxation while you are enjoying a coke, sunflae or a dish of ice cream. Sister St. Edward is in charge of the Huddle with members of the Student Council assisting. These Juniors-Marilyn Covell , Cathy Dietl, Barbara Eggers, Kathy Festa, Elaine George, Christine Hens, Kathy Jendrowski, Kathy Kohn, Kathy Manhardt, JoAnn Marinola, Pat Merkel, Pat Metzler, Diane Schaefer, Ruth Schroeder-staff the Huddle, catering to your needs every day after school. If 0. Participates In National Contest In order to combat the practice of allowing stores to remain open on Sun- day, Church groups in west and Mid- west sections adopted a slogan to dis- courage the idea. A new, unique slogan, however, is desired to catch the eye of the public and to impress in their minds the idea that it is not fitting to disregard the Lord's day. All Franciscan Third Order fra- ternities throughout the country are participating in this slogan contest. A ceramic statue of St. Claire, pa- troness of television, will be awarded to the winner. Virginia Balk, Third Order secre- tary, was in charge of assembling slogan entries from Third Order mem- bers. Sister Marie Elizabeth acted as chairman for the school contest. 6 A. Wright and A. Sokal display the beautyul ictures of the Sacred Heart and the I mmacu- liite Heart of lllarjy which have been given to each senior homeroom lly the faculty. Inquiring Reporter Question: Is there any mannerism which someone else has that distracts you in class? JOAN STELLER, Senior: The click- ing of ball point pens bothers me tre- mendously when I am trying to pay attention. I'm curious about why the pens click, and rapidly lose track of what the teacher is saying, while I'm trying to see who's doing it. MARIE NENNO, Junior: People who cross their legs and swing their feet make me nervous. I begin to count the kicking motions and forget everything that is going on around me. It has a kind of hypnotic effect on me, however when the person finally stops I can easily resume studying. SHIRLEY MAHONEY, Sophomore: When girls erase the blackboard and accidentally scratch their nails on it I jump a mile. I get goose bumps all over when this happens and it takes a few minutes to calm my jittery nerves after such an experiencefi MARY ANN GRIMALDI, Freshman: When a girl takes one strand of hair and twirls it around her fingers, it distracts me very much. I try to pay attention, but the motion is so rhyth- mic that I can't help watching. Senior Home Rooms Receive Paintings The four senior homerooms now boast beautiful religious paintings donated by the faculty. The seniors were the recipients of four paintings, two of which depict the Sacred Heart and two of the Blessed Virgin. The Sacred Heart paintings, set against warm brown backgrounds, depict a prayerful, loving Christ re. splendent in soft white and red gay. ments. The paintings depicting the Virgin are set against brown back- grounds from which a gentle Madonna with sky colored robe looks forth. The paintings were presented to the seniors with the hope that the girls would be drawn closer to the sides of Jesus and Mary. Emotions Highlight Moving Bronte Novel The day dawned cold and dreary and as the winds swept across the marshlands to the old English man- sion, Wuthering Heights, a starving and homeless boy, named Heathcliff, was brought to be raised as a brother to Cathy and Hindley Earnshaw. Heathcliff grew up there as a stranger rather than as a brother and he carried in his heart, not only the hate and resentment displayed by Hindley, but also the affection show- ered on him by Cathy. Cathy, however, grows into a beau- tiful, well-mannered young woman, quite unlike the little tomboy wh0 had once delighted in running off t0 the moors for a day of fun. When Edgar Linton asks for her hand in marriage, she accepts because it would degrade her to marry Heath- cliff, whom she really loves. Because of Cathy's apparent dis- regard of his love for her, Heathcliff leaves Wuthering Heights and when he finally returns, is so altered, that Cathy becomes desperately ill. This novel, Wuthering HeiglliS, by Emily Bronte, is unforgettable, and even tragic. Miss Bronte has created characters and events that will live in your memory long after the last word has been read.

Easter Legend Tells The following is an Easter story which has come down to us through the ages. It is partly true and partly legendary. After the appearance of the Wise Men at Bethlehem, Herod sent forth a decree proclaiming that all male children under the age of two years, be killed in order to find the new King. Joseph, having been warned by an angel, took Mary and Jesus on a journey to Egypt. They took refuge by day and journeyed by night. While on this flight, the Holy Family' came upon a small cottage occupied by an old woman and a small boy. Joseph, seeking refuge for his family, asked if they might take shelter in her humble hut. As soon as the woman saw Mary and the Child, 12 Interesting Story she fell on her knees to adore the Babe. During their visit, while Mary was bathing the Child, the woman brought in her grandson and asked if she might bathe her boy in the water Christ had used. Mary consented and the woman told her this story: her son was a thief and his wife had died some years ago leaving her to care for the boy. The woman feared that the weak- ness of his father would become ap- parent during the boy's life. The woman thought by using Christis bath water that it might counteract this trait. Christ met this boy only once again and this time as a man. It was at that place termed Colgotha. We know him as the Penitent Thief. Suggestions Given I On Easter Fashion With Easter almost upon us, every fashion conscious girl thinks of her wardrobe. If you like tailored clothes, a simple sheath in a neutral tone, such as beige, could be easily accented in var- ious ways. Accessories following a line of green or navy can be carried out in gloves, shoes, handbag, hat, and even jewelry. If you like the new bouffant style, a pretty pastel print is for you. Accessories could be simple, carrying out one color featured in the print. In planning your outfit keep in mind the practicality of your choice. You may look lovely for one day but your clothes must be versatile enough to be worn all season. How Bout That? Congratulations, Joan Steller! Joan was named homemaker of the year from Bishop O'Hern in a recent Betty Crocker contest. More winners! Pat Stabler and Angela Ciccone, who belong to the same Junior Achievement group, won second prize in a display contest at the .I.A.7s teenage Trade Fair. Sophomore Penny Stiffler won the pick hit of the week award given by WBNY. Penny received a soul-mov- ing little dittie entitled N o, I Can't Sit Downf' One day in history class Karen Wald was asked if she thought it pos- sible that perhaps someday the Soviets would control outer space. Karen replied, i'How can they-there is so much of it! Did you notice that poise and those photogenic features? Barbara Damin- ski appeared on T.V. Barbara was a part of a Junior Achievement panel program that discussed the subject of money and its value. French I students displayed a great deal of ingenuity in the unique chapeaux that they created for the Mardi Gras celebration. CLilly Dache had better be carefulj. In charge of the Hag waving department was Pat Zielinski who made tiny French flags for the occasion. Imagine the surprise of the senior class when Sister Borromeo, who is now principal of a Puerto Rican mis- sion school, appeared in the cafeteria after the ring ceremony! Sister was greeted by hearty applause and the entire class listened intently as she extended her congratulations. Christine Dexter augmented the laurels of O'Hern by having her Len- ten prayer accepted for publication in the Courier-Express. Let's all forget our diets and aid the missions by buying baked goods from the representatives of the Catholic Student Mission group after Mass. Did you know that on February 24, Sister M. Paul Iienore and Mrs. Helen Maher were on the Helen Neville Show? They discussed Catholic books in observance of Catholic Book month. fi' is . Mrs. M. Buchner, Mrs. E. Taube, Mrs. S. Prieu r, lllrs.

New Junior From Peru Recently Interviewed Lima has lost and O'Hern has gained a smiling friendly girl of fif- teen-Esperanza Salazar, whose first name is translated Hope. She came to the United States in November with her sister and brother-in-law, a doctor at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Hope wants to stay in America for a while and then return to Peru. Hope is officially a junior and her happy smile can be seen by all. She is a typical teenager who spent her spare time in Lima at the movies, beach and picnics. She loves the snow and is used to the heavy traffic and crowded streets since Lima is bigger than Buf- falo. The courses offered here are similar to those in Peruvian schools. When asked what she liked best about O'Hern, Hope promptly stated, The Sisters. 79 Esperanza Salazar indicates her South Amer- ican birthplace. Cafeteria Story Told Have you ever questioned the identity of those who keep the faculty and the student body of O'Hern al- ways full of vitality and stamina? An able-bodied staff, on duty from 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. every day from Monday through Friday, gathers nu- trition and bodily health for all those who patiently wait in the lunch line in the basement corridor. Mrs. Galley, head of the cafeteria staff, and her four assistants, Mar- garet Buchner, Mary Priest, Stella Prieur and Ella Taube, plan and pre- pare an average of 1,000 servings a week. Menus are decided upon two weeks in advance and quantity purchases of top-quality foods are then made. The daily lunch reports taken in the home- rooms, provide the basis for the quantity of meals. In addition to this number, 50 extra lunches are prepared for safe measure. Lunches that are not all served in one day, are sometimes frozen for use at a later date, or are served as a side dish the following day. Soup and sandwiches, plus a variety of fruits, cookies and other desserts, are always on hand for those who want them. Mrs. Galley stated that of all the menus planned, the favorites are grilled cheese sandwiches, tuna-fish salad. and hamburgers. ln celebration of certain holidays special lunches such as turkey are served to the student body. I3 :mai xiii it 13 1 if Backbone Of School Is Maintenance Staff Do you ever take notice of the gleaming floors of the school? Do you realize what services are rendered each day by O,Hern's maintenance crew? Where there's a light bulb to be re- placed, a picture to be hung, or a locker to be opened George Ott, John Douds or H.,l. Almer Olsen are sure to be available to perform the task. They see to it that the school is heated and that equipment is kept in good working order. A special vote of thanks goes to Mr. Ott. He readily helps with the building and setting up of stage props for various plays. He recently reno- vated the grotto of Our Lady, located on the school grounds. Classroom cleanliness is taken care of by ,losey Allen and Bessie,, Stevenson who mop and dust the rooms each afternoon. Mirrors Installed Have you noticed the new mirrors in the building? The new feature was purcnased for the girls of Bishop 0'Hern by the school. A new mirror has also been placed in the gym so that the girls could freshen up after class. The mirrors were installed by the maintenance staff. Night The usually busy streets are nearly empty, Diamond-studded snowbanks glisten Under the shining street-lamp beacong The whimpering of a sleepy kitten Echoes through the dim, white road- ways. Silently, peaceful night has triumphed. -MARY TERESA BEILMAN Office Staff Plays Role of Importance Behind the counter of the General Ofiice Mrs. Mary Schultz and Mrs. Evelyn McKernan manage Bishop O,Hern,s business. Mrs. Schultz is in charge of school Hnancial records and accounts. She makes out the receipts for tuition and fees and handles the payroll for the faculty. All bills and banking pro- cedures are also under her care. Mrs. McKernan has her share of duties in the office, also. She answers the telephone, which rings quite often, and runs off the list of absentees every morning on the mimeograph machine. Letters, special reports and examina- tions are typed by her and, if neces- sary, duplicate copies made. Notices ofthe Parents Guild meetings are pre- pared and sent out by Mrs. Mc- Kernan and special forms for the teachers or classrooms are arranged in the office. Nlerilee Spruck, Ill.

Mardi Gras Staged The .French I classes of Mrs. .lones and Mrs. Greenough held the annual Mardi Gras on February 10. in the soda bar. A typical French meal was served consisting of onion soup, French bread and butter, French pastries and pra- lines. The girls wore French tammies and some of them made special French hats displaying the symbols, people and industries of France. The girls sang many French songs and in some classes a queen and attendants were chosen and crowned with special crowns made by the students.

As They Meet the World In a matter of a few short weeks, 142 seniors will gradu- ate from Bishop 0'Hern High School and enter college or the business world. These girls are more fortunate than most, for they have grown intellectually, socially and spiritually. They have not only been versed in the basic subjects but they have also been instilled with Christian principles, which will be an asset to them in any field of endeavor. A Christian spirit should dominate their lives whether they sit in an oflice or college classroom, or stand behind the counter of a department store. As they step out upon the stage of life may they become women, womanly women who will play their parts well. just to Say Thanks With the distribution of this issue my job as editor of the Keystone comes to a close.

Personal Pieces of Washington If there were one statement that I could make about my recent trip to our nation's capital as a result of the Americanism essay contest, it would only be said this way: those were six of the happiest days I have ever spent. Besides the HBig things we did and said in Washington, I have many personal memories from every wonderful minute there. Even the alittle things we did are now an unforgettable part of this trip, walking in the evenings and feeding the squirrels on the White House Lawn, eating dinner by candle light every night and simply signing the check, seeing the city at night from our seventh floor window, the five-dollar present for spending money which we were given at the airport, having our Easter dinner in a lovely French cafe with a completely continental atmos- phere and food, taking a trolley ride to the end of the line, four of us finding Mourn little Italian restaurant, Luigi's, where we went on our last night in Washington for pizza and were given empty wine bottles as a remembrance. We were thrilled by hearing Easter Sunday Mass in beautiful Saint Matthewls Cathedral, and just by the amazing fact that we were living in a city full of monuments and memories of the past and yet holding within its resi- dential yet busy limits the power of the present and the key to our future. C. D. Please pray for the repose of the souls of Sister Michael Ann,s father and Catherine and Patricia Brownls father, Mary Castro's father, and Elizabeth Chianta's father.

Vocation Holy Hour Given for Students Father Nicholas Tinney, O.F.M. conducted two holy hours April 6, for the O'Hern student body. They were divided into two sessions. The first holy hour was attended by the juniors and seniors. The freshmen and sopho- mores attended the second. Father Tinney devoted his talk to the four vocations. He mentioned that many girls shun the religious life be- cause they are not mature enough to make the sacrifices necessary for this way of life. In regard to marriage Father said that it is not a 50572, prop- Osition as most people think but a proposition in which both parties must give of themselves 100175. Father also mentioned the two re- maining vocations. The second holy hour was closed with benediction. Senior A. Congilosi, winner of the Nlehr Scholarship, pauses at her locker before class. Ann Congilosi Wins Mehr Scholarship Senior Ann Congilosi was awarded the Martin Mehr scholarship to D'Youville College. Based on the results of her college entrance examinations, scholastic ability, and character traits, Ann was chosen from the otl1er applicants. This scholarship entitles Ann to a re- duction in her yearly tuition. Intend- ing to pursue a liberal arts course, Ann will probably choose to teach Latin or history on the secondary level.

Sister Juliana Gives Talk on Vocations Tuesday and Wednesday, April I4 and 15, 0,Hern was honored by the presence of two Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Refuge. Sister Juliana, a member of the Vocational Guild, spoke on the im- portance of a vocation. She particu- larly emphasized a need for an en- couragement of vocations, by point- ing out that many girls later regret that they never took the opportunity to enter religious life. Using the story of her entrance as an example, she told the students to Mstand firm in their vocations. A great obstacle to per- severance is the disagreement with reluctant parents. Sister said, Make up your mind that you will encourage all others who seem to have a voca- tion. It is a blessing to have a Reli- gious in one's family. The novitiate, she continued Mtries and trains the hopeful entrants. Sister also men- tioned a fourth vow in their Order: zeal of Christ for the salvation of souls. Sister Ignatius showed slides of their Refuge and Monastery, the Good Shepherd Home on Best Street, a home for delinquent girls and way- ward mothers. Pamphlets dealing with the life of St. John Eudes, the founder of the order, were circulated. 1 X .-' I x' H Q 'V -I. X sf' Q W A '- . mu-..-W E X ,Ii ,N was !

To commemorate Memorial Day, we have pulled out of mothballsw so 'to speak, several little quirks of his- tory. Invisible ink was first used by Silas Dean, a member of the Secret Cor- respondence Committee during the Revolution. Legend has it that Betsy Ross made the first American flag. History has it that Francis Hopkinson per- formed the patriotic task. Our Declaration of Independence contains 1,337 words. During the three-day battle of Gettysburg, the only nurses present were the Sisters of Charity. Also, dur- ing tl1e battle, St. Francis Catholic Church became a war hospital. Elizabeth van Lew, a spy for the Union, received the personal protec- tion of tl1e Confederate president, Jefferson Davis! The planned attack on Pearl Har- bor was known by our government at least three days before it was carried out. Stephen Crane author of the Classic war story MRed Badge of Courage, never actually witnessed a battle. On Napoleonls coronation day, tl1e Pope was ready to crown the new emperor. However Napoleon grabbed the crown from the Pope and cried Only Napoleon can crown Napo- leon! 20 Display Case Added to Guidance Office Every young woman aspires to make her life worthwhile and gain eternal joy by doing things for others. How sl1e will accomplish this is some- times a very difficult problem and the question arises whether she should teach, nurse or enter the business world. The facilities of the Guidance Office are available to help us in any such situation. In addition to the com- petent help of Sister Amata, there are files of brochures explaining all types of opportunities in business and in- formation from colleges and univer- sities. Books can be obtained to study for college entrance tests. The newest addition to the guid- ance department is the large glass- enclosed display case and bulletin boards just outside the office on the first floor. The cabinet will be used to acquaint the pupils with the newest material available and post announce- ments of scholarship opportunities and coming aptitude tests. Library Wins Honors At the National Catholic Librarians Associationls Convention in Chicago, O'Hern was named one of the recip- ients of certificates for outstanding work carried out in observance of Catholic Book Week. The English I and English II classes made booklets emphasizing the 4'Catholic Union and Echol' and various Catholic magazines. The Eng- lish III classes made anthologies of poetry. The journalism class con- ducted panel discussions dealing with the Catholic Press in America, its growth, authors, books, and prob- lems. A poster portraying the Catholic Book Week Slogan MShare Truth- Spread Faith,', shown on television, was sketched by Sharon Tarangelo. Other members of the Library Coun- cil gave daily messages about Catholic reading over the public address system. D. Uhrich sets up the Student Council Social Calendar which indicates 0'Hern's social ac- tivities for the month. Calendar of Events Set Up by Council The uSocial Calendar is a new project of the Student Council. Its purpose is to increase awareness of student participation in school ac- tivities. In the basement showcase, it stands as a ready reminder of all coming events which are of interest to the whole student body. In an oversize calendar form, it also records import- ant feast days and holy days of obli- gation. Use it - be informed! Day of Recollection Is at Williamsville May 1, the Sodality held a Day of Recollection at the Franciscan Motherhouse, Saint Maryls of the Angels, Williamsville. Throughout the day various con- ferences were held. During the recre- ational periods the girls were given the opportunity to visit and talk with the novices and postulants who are studying at St. Mary's. Free time was allowed for spiritual reading, private prayers and walks. A holy hour and Benediction concluded the day. Reverend .lohn Weaver, O.F.M. conducted the Day of Recollection. How Bout That! An efficiency expert would be rather startled if he were to visit the basement locker room. Imagine having two gold benches for the girls to lounge on! The beautiful murals and land- scapes that are on display in the cafe- teria are visual delights. These works are undoubtedly especially appreci- ated by those of us who can't even paint by numbers. What were those red smudges on the little square pieces of paper you saw some of the biology students walking around with? Blood! Some of the girls had their blood tests taken. From the talented quills of our bud- ding Byrons come beautiful poems. Mary Teresa Beilman, Carol Gian- nini, Marcia Mlynarczyk, Adrienne Rusin and Kathyrn Woodward had their poems accepted in the spring addition of the National Anthology of High School Poetry. Accolades to Marie Dietrich! Marie won a gold pin for receiving the re- quired number of credits in the Mu- seum,s science classes. She also won a 315 certificate for her exhibit at the 17th Annual Science Congress. Press Day Attended at St. Bonaventure May 7, the girls interested in jour- nalism, particularly in staffing the Keystone, attended the annual Press Day at St. Bonaventure University. The day was planned in two ses- sions morning and afternoon, with group discussions in each. These dis- cussions were divided according to individual interests such as those con- cerning the editors, feature and news writers, and photographers. Mister John Daly, the news commentator, spoke to the group after lunch. The purpose of High School Press Day is to give recognition to out- standing achievements in high school publications and newspapers. The staff at St. Bonaventure's want to emphasize and encourage good writ- ing thereby attaining journalism's rightful significance in the scholastic curriculum. Sadie Bassile Seniors Received The seniors were formally inducted into the Alumnae Association, Sun- day, May 17. A Mass was celebrated in the school chapel at 9:00. A breakfast followed in the cafeteria. Induction of the seniors followed. Sadie Bassile Cites O'Hern Experiences Dark brown hair, black eyes and a ready smile are the traits of Sadie Bassile, our student from Lebanon. Sadie arrived in Buffalo, March 27. 1957. She says that there are not many differences between Buffalo and Hilta, her home town. But a big dif- ference between Lebanon and Amer- ica is found in the houses and build- ings. They are much higher. here in America. ln regard to food Sadie mentioned that most of the foods in Lebanon are made of lamb. She said that she likes pizza. Sadie is taking French and home- making 5 in addition to English. re- ligion and history. She is quite accustomed to our ways in America but plans to return to her native Lebanon.
