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 .

The game is getting tight, the team is under pressure, they start making mistakes and fumbling the ball. The captain signals to the referee. Time is called. The coach gathers his team around himg points out their mistakes and why they are making them, shows the weak points of their defense and how to strengthen it. The team goes back into the game with renewed spirit, sound strat- egy and determined will. This is what a retreat is - Time out! Reverend Charles Dolan, SJ., Retreat Master and coach par excel- lence, took us through a series of conferences, helping us to analyze our problems, clarify our perspective. The retreat was held this year at mid- semester, January 29th through February lst. The three day schedule consisted of Mass, a short recess, a conference, the rosary and Stations of the Cross followed by a second conference. The Retreat closed on Friday morning-with Mass and the Papal Blessing. ln the course of his conferences, Father Dolan covered a wide range of subjects. He emphasized sin, its utter stupidity and absolute ingrati- tude, He spoke of the necessity of getting close to Mary, of adjusting our concepts of her so as not to forget her humanity. l-le also spoke of the Passion, and of Death and Judgement. And we finally found out why the wine ran out at Canal
