Marie Clemente and Barbara Sayour admire the splendor of the chalices which will soon furnish a Mission Chapel. Aurelie Minikine reads this years theme: To Jesus Through Nlary UUR MISSIO EXHIBIT Sfxias. 4 f Seeking only the glory of God, Fontbonnes missionaries labor' to spread the Faith. Each year through their sacrifices a complete Mission Chapel is furnished. Before the materials are shipped, they are displayed in our library to remind those who so generously give that their intentions will reach the altar of God through the taliernacles, chalices, monstrances, statues, yestments, linens, and other appurtenances which their gifts haye purchased. Santa Tersita, the Convent Chapel of the Sisters ol' Saint Joseph in Puerto Rico, was the recipient ol' this year's offerings. The impressive array of 'Hass vest ments and hand sewn linens is given a final check by Ann Strod thoff one of Fontbonnes zealous missioners.

lit' T MTHECHUH TMA ECRETM Each year the Glee Club stages a Christ- mas pageant with an original story, original settings, and original costumes. For several months before its presentation, members of the Glee Club are transformed into stage managers, prop men, and electricians. Multi-colored wrapping paper over card- board boxes became a beautiful cave scene in this year's play, The Christmas Secret. A sky tull of glittering stars made from con- struction paper and silver paint served as a background for the quiet hillside near Bethlehem. Using the materials on hand, the girls made their own costumes: hangers, wrapped with a layer of net and sprinkled with sequins turned into a pair ot' angel wings, while pieces ol' foil made sturdy helmets for the Roman centurions. The ingenuity ol' the Glee Club members, coupled with their untiring effort, has made the Christmas pageant an unforgettable event on Fontl5onne's calendar. The Christmas Secret reaches its climax at the crib where Mary CJoan Blulliganb and Joseph Uoan Sicab tend the Infant, while angels, shepherds, and kings pay homage to the new-born Saviour. The auditorium rings with Glory to Godin the Highest. fp, 59 fi x , x T ASQ MM A ibm Q 2 It 3 J. 4 ,,f' a v Q , 47 , '- k -' 1 , ,X , A uf ' . 3 x , 5. 5 his 'gi' so .., A A A -,Je Q..
