As the month rolled along, busy seniors hurried to complete their list of subscribers for the l960 edition of Spires. November 22 was the day chosen to present a con- cert bythe members of the various music groups in honor of Saint Cecelia, the patroness of music. Bread, meat, and fruit completes the list, states a Mother Seton League representative as she puts the last articles of food in the gaily decorated baskets for a Thanksgiving treat for the needy. Trading books and quizzes for a ringside seat to a turkey dinner with all the trimmings were eager Central- ites on November 26 as they left school for a brief Thanksgiving holiday. Forming a procession for Christmas services are Central acolytes Earl Berrien, Steven Martin, Ralph Picolo, Dan Mowery, Daniel Meyer, and Michael Whalen. An expression of ioy can be easily noted on the faces of happy Centroliles Sue Walsh and James Anastasi as they enjoy an evening of dancing at the Mary Christmas Ball. DECEMBER i An important step in the process of canonization of Mother Seton took place on December I8 when she was declared Venerable by Pope John XXIII. The cleaning of lockers and the collecting of papers in an air of excitement foretold the fact that the Christmas vacation was about to begin, as December 23 crept nearer. A blessed and happy Christmas was enioyed by all. The rustling of silks and satin mingled with the fragrance of floral corsages on December 29 as Angel Heaven, the 1959 Mary Christmas Ball, was enioyed by the upper classmen. A dream of many classes became a reality when l25 girls formed a Block C cheering section. This is the first such group ever inaugurated at Catholic Central.
