MILDRED MURPHY SCHROTH President of the Association oa Some of the Alumnae with Father Cappel at the Banquet. Dorothea Hayes addresses the abe Alumnae Association The Georgian Court College Alumnae Association is a loyal group of more than one thousand members, all cf whom are keenly interested in the welfare of Alma Mater. This year their interests was most clearly demonstrated by the success of the first annual Alumnae Fund campaign. The Alumnae Fund, a program of voluntary giving, has replaced the old dues system. Under this new plan each member of the Association contributes to the college whatever amount she wishes. Proceeds of the 1953 Fund appeal provided a full tuition scholar- ship, published the Court Alumnae Newsletter, and partially sup- ported the college Public Relations Office. The affairs of the Association are directed by the Alumnae Council which is made up of the officers of the Association and representatives of each chapter. Nine active alumnae chapters are in existence and plans are under way for the establishment of two others. These alumnae groups are set up on a geographic basis. Their activities in- clude Days of Recollection, student recruiting programs, luncheons, dances, card parties, fashion shows, and the like to benefit their scholarship funds. All of the well-established chapters provide a full tuition scholarship for a girl from their area. Outstanding event of the Alumnae year is reunion week end held traditionally on the college campus during the first week end in May. Special honor is given to the five year classes and a full pro- gram of events is provided by a large committee of the Alumnae and the sisters.

Our Blessed Mother has been made known, loved and honored through the ardent devotion of the sodalists of Georgian Court. The moderator, Sister M. Beatrice, has st‘mulated the members with a fervent desire for gaining indulgences from Jesus through Mary. These graces are obtained through Sodality Masses, recitation of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Christmas Crib Ceremony and the May Crowning. In preparation for the Marian Year and in thanksgiving for the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, the Sodality is offering a Novena to the Queen of Heaven for individual intentions and a special blessing on the college. The officers are: Mary Geis, president; Margaret Sanzone, vice- president; Joan Provan, secretary; and Patricia Ventura, treasurer. The Sodality M. Sanzone, M. Geis, The National Federation of Catholic College Students is an organi- zation claiming the affiliation of one hundred and fifty-six Catholic Colleges and Universities in the United States. F The aims of the N. F.C. C. S. are to promote Catholic student unity, to acquaint students with their responsibility in assuming Catholic leadership, and to help each college in the federation in solving problems common to all. Because this year has been named the Marian Year by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, the federation is dedicating all its works to Mary. This dedication has a special significance to Georgian Court, since, as the regional headquarters of the Liturgy Commission, it has as its special task the promotion of the understanding, appreciation, and active partic- ipation in Marian Liturgy.
