Following the first semester finals, the men of Dealy Hall em- barked upon their annual retreat, the spiritual complement'of the exams. Like the exams, the retreat lectures were reviews, but guaged to register the students spiritual maturity rather than his scholastic development. Fr. George Flattery, S.J., conducted the uptown exercises, his talks reflected over a decade of experience in giving retreats throughout many of the country's parishes and schools. In contrast to the last few years, all the students, upper and lower classmen alike, made the retreat simultaneously in the Uni- versity Chapel from January 29th through February lst, Closed weekend retreats were available to students who wished a more complete divorcement from their material surroundings, Mass and Holy Communion started each day, succeeded by three Meditations and Benediction, allowing time for breakfast and lunch breaks. Fr. Flattery's talks, based upon the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, aimed at developing in us a pious devotion to do God's will. Stress was laid -on means of attaining this end: the value of mental prayer, and the nourishment of daily Eucharistic food. Fr. Flattery concluded the retreat with the Papal Blessing, em- phasizing that the days ensuing the retreat were the critical ones, the ones which would try our resolutions. K .
