For the third year, students have spent the Easter Season at Divine Heart in order to grasp the richness of the background of our religion. Beginning with Palm Sunday, Holy Week Services brought out the sadness and great joy felt by all Christians during this season. From the blessing of the palms on Palm Sunday, to the Saturday night vigil and Sunday resurrection services, the students were taken back to the time of Christ and lived these occurences . Good Friday brought sadness to the students . Christ was dead, the symbol of life was destroyed, and the students experienced the real sadness that must have been felt by the close followers of Christ. This was accomplished by chapel services, prayer meetings, and meditations . Holy Saturday was a night of great anxiety. The students started the services in the library, due to Weather conditions, and the Easter candle was lit, symbolizing the resurrection of our Lord. The Easter Proclamation was joyously sung by Fr. Bernard Galic, S.C.J. The Easter feeling did not end here, however. Easter Sunday was full of joyous singing and alleluia's . The joy of the risen Lord was in the heart of every student. He Is Risen xx 'ik

Christmas Brings Joy And Fun Right: We must never forget why we celebrate Christmas. Below: Mrs. Edging attempts to break pinata at Christmas party. Bottom: Seconds later! Fun, refreshments and the spirit of Christmas made the Student Council sponsored Christmas party an event to remember. Christmas carols were sung in two languages . Mrs . Carrico's French students sang several French carols, and the Spanish students joined Mr. Mordini in singing Spanish carols . The Spanish students prepared two pinatas filled with candy and money. They were hung from the roof of the old gym and students from each class took turns trying to break them. After several students failed, Father Schmidt took his cracks, and after several attempts a mighty whallop sent students diving for the candy. A second pinata was hung, and secretary Mrs . Edging took her cuts at it. Soon students were again diving! Then everyone settled down with cookies and hot chocolate.
