Las Cucaracheras is an active club which not only helps Spanish students to acquire a more useful working vo- cabulary, but also caters to the social side of na- ture by inserting parties and other activities in the Weekly meetings carried on entirely in their tav- orite language, el espanol. Telling narratives in the language, one of the important activities of the senior French club, is popular among mem- bers. Official business and unique projects keep modern language enthusiasts tres heureuses. Al- though they keep in touch with the changing trends of modern science, test-tube-troupers make their c7ub an important part of their social life as well. As evidence of this fact, making cosmetics takes first place on the activity rate-and-date-book of its members.

In the clubs of the Home Man- agement department, members learn, however, that home is the heart of man through other domestic activities. Upper right: Florence Horan prepares des- serts and Iudy lribas waits on table while Mary Lou Fussell, Ioan Muskat, Patricia Knoclcaert, and Barbara Miller anticipate the outcome of a luncheon treat prepared at one of the recent meetings held as an informal tete-a-tete. Obviously, such gath- erings are long-awaited and anxiously- hoped-tor occasions. Center right: Following in the footsteps of the Great Emancipatorf' officers Patricia Finn, Ann Rooklidge, Geraldine Bendel. and Larraine Lloyd of the Lot and Lodge club demonstrate the proper method of surveying land, using simple implements. Past-times like these mean play-time to members of the Home Management de- partment. Lower right: While appropriately pore traying the glowing spirit of The Carmel Lights, ambitious officers Mary Pat An' derson, Helen Roberts, Petranna Benedict, and Constance Hoenig also illustrate by their friendly smiles the aims and atmos- phere of the club: Character and person' ality building in an earnest spirit of friend- ship, service, and loyalty.

04 Serena e of ISOILQJ and Salufaiionaj Precious pages in the last volume of high school days dissolve quickly into memories. Heart-swelling pride fills the Class of 1948 as it makes its initial appearance on Installa- tion Day, ribbons 'n' all, and sees the leaders it has chosen officially established. As the student body gazes with admiration and a wee bit of envy, each heart repeats the pledge of service, loyalty, and devotion. Seriousness is mixed with plain fun as the days of pinatores and pigtails return. The Kiddie Party in the gym finds the worldly-wise sen- iors in there playing ring-around-the-rosy and loving every moment of it. All too soon the day of reckoning arrives+Senior Class Day. There's the tear-stained rose for Mom and the Juniors' acceptance of the Daisy Chain of leadership as the old hands reluctantly watch the last petal fall from their daisy to be pressed fondly with the rest of the joys their attendance at The Immaculata has brought. tt Page Eighty seven
