Renewal sums up in one word the basic theme of the Retreat this year. Acting as Retreat Masters were Fathers Bosch and Vogel, C.SS.P. Both priests placed em- phasis on the student's role as a Christian-as a member of the Mystical Body. They also pointed out the true values in life and showed how important charity and chastity are in the development of the whole person. Again this year, there was a divided retreat, with Father Bosch preparing the juniors and Seniors for their new lives in the world, and Father Vogel explaining facts pertinent to lower classmen. To give students a respite from the silence kept during the rest of the day, talking in the Social Hall and recreation in the tennis courts was allowed during lunch periods. In the privacy of the priest's suite, Father Vogel makes a point clear to two lower classmen. Annual Kefrcat- HES GOT .

A pleased Fire Inspector Irene Delsel employs her imagination and finds a unique use for our latest decoration , the sprinkler system. When the Freshman Class arrived, the girls were dressed in unfamiliar apparel-unfamiliar to Holy Names. But new faces and new uniforms were only a small part of the many changes this year. The Fire Marshall instructed that a sprinkler system be installed to protect students and faculty from danger. Throughout the summer, the lovely black pipes were installed and painted. The problem of an increased student body and the use, therefore, of the two auditoriums for assemblies has been met through the generosity of Mr. Robert Rascob.

Scniv Retreat On january 3 l st, forty-four fortunate Seniors began a closed retreat at the beautiful retreat house, Villa Maria del Mar, at Santa Cruz. Father Josef Stef- anelli proved a truly wonderful inspira- tion to the girls with his provocative conferences on man and his purpose. He was willing and able to talk to them between conferences and a number of girls took advantage of this time to confer with him. Many problems were solved and new outlooks formed during the days of retreat. Those days will re- main in the girls' memories as a price- less experience. An informal question period ended each day.
