Sophomores gather around the special phone to talk with Pat. The phone call, sponsored by the Fathers' Club, brought pleasure to both Pat and her classmates. Pol Corle's Courage Exemplifies lmmoculolcfs Ideals If any girl exemplifies the ideals and spirit of Im- maculata, that girl is Pat Corte. Since an accident last July which took the lives of both parents and left her with a fractured spine, Pat has been convalescing in a New York hospital. Despite overwhelming difllculties, her spirits remain high and her courage and hope un- dimmed. Her classmates, who consider Pat just as much a part of Immaculata as the girl who sits next to them, have kept in constant contact with her through cards, letters, gifts, and telephone calls. Just as other more obvious influences contribute to enrich and better the school, so the courage of Pat Corte will remain a subtle inspiration to Immaculata's portrait. After wrapping their Christmas gifts, Maria Harris, Marianne Clemence, Mary Ann Reilly, and Michele Fazekas prepare to send them to Pat. Nancy Hurley looks pleased with the contributions of Ann Atkinson, Jill Morgan, and Peggy Kenny. Money was used to purchase a savings bond for Pat's birthday.
