eniom 7 lgdvlge - - jo .gmmacufafa ill lmmaculatans pledge themselves p Our Lady on the feast of the W mmaculate Conception. As in past 'ears' seniors were privileged to orry their pledge cards to the con- 'ent chapel, where, followed by mfiicers, carrying red roses, they iled in procession before Our Lady :nd placed their promises at her eet. The significance of their pa- ronal feast is heightened for lm- naculata girls because it is a pecial occasion for the Sisters of :harity of the Blessed Virgin Mary ince pledges were made by some if the earliest groups of novices at 'Old St. Joseph's, the first western notherhouse of the order. fight: Seniors form a guard of honor preceding the iilver Jubilee Mass on December 8. ower left: Theresa White and Theresa Hyland admire he festal shrine of their patroness. ower right: Senior Sodality officers present their pledges o Mary. Senior Installation Day in October introduces wondering freshmen to lmmcculota traditions and reminds wistful seniors that this is the last year. For the first time they sense the thrill of singing their own class song and of wearing the long blue and gold ribbons ln their hearts, they pledge themselves with each ofticer, as she promises her service, loyalty, and devotion, to the ideals they have learned to revere.

'ML I 0UQ Olfl fke WUC!!! fo 'MC OI Students of The Immaculata High School can feel proud of the part they have played in aiding their country both in time of war and also in time of peace, said Mrs. Leo P. Cum- mings, former secretary of the Catholic Division of the Treasury Department. She then a- warded four service bars, each given for a hospital unit purchased by the school, to the student War Bond Committee members, Mary Delfosse, Mary Allen, Mary Frances Bauler, Anne Carr, Barbara Donovan, Betty Minogue, and .loan Spreitzer. In each bond drive The Immaculata went all out for victory, adding a pursuit plane, a P-T boat, and a tank to the military might of America. To keep the minute man flying, each month homeroom treas- urers sold at least a ten cent stamp to every girl in her room. Nor did the war years at lmmaculata mean just buying bonds and stamps. Canteen drives were inaugurated, and fam- ished students en route to the cafeteria cast frenzied glances at the piles of delicacies ready for shipment to the Servicemen's Center. With V-E and V-.l Days apparently permament, Immaculata is now busy on Red Cross rehabilitation projects.

W .sm mwwwwt' Upper right: War Bonds took The lmmaculata K by storm, and vice versa. School sales surpassed expectations when nine hospital units were bought through all-out effort. Certifying the fact are Barbara Donovan and Anne Carr on a visit to Gardiner General Hospital, where the Bond Com- mittee presented a check for the units. Class treasurers from all the divisions assisted by selling stamps in the homerooms. Lower: Immaculata goes to war with a tank pur- chased by student bonds. Blasting its way from Czechoslovakia to Germany, the steel lmrnaculata has seen fast action. This picture was taken pre- ceding the attack on Nuremburg. Under the pro- tecting shadows of the tank are Kenneth l. Morris, Charles Adams, Joseph Ruff, and F. F. White, its crew. Since V-E Day, The lmmaculata has been in the army of occupation.
