Thank you, Mom Our Mothers' Guild works hard to grow closer to us, to understand us better, and to give us a steadying, sympathetic hand in our school. We are always glad to have our mothers meet our teachers-which they do on every meeting clay. Too, our mothers often enioy helpful talks and discus- sion concerning our problems. For example, at their October meeting Doc- tor Aloysius S. Church talked to them on the Contribution of Religion in Psychiatry, and later in the year Judge Nathan J. Kaufman gave a report on Youth Today. Their proiects are many and varied: the monthly scholarship help, Dad's Night, Parents' Night, the Sisters' Shower, etc. Their actions show us that they care for us, and for this we say gratefully, Thank you, Mom.

Begin to know that God is God' Live your lite to the hilt, Father William tells a group. You cannot love what you do not know! It you do not love Christ, it's because you do not know Him, and once you get to know Christ you cannot be cured of Him. So Father William set the theme of our annual retreat. Over and over again during those three days, Father urged us to greater personal holiness, to know God better through greater use of the sacra- ments, through more spiritual reading, medita- tion, and prayer. Caught up in the tempo of modern living, he pointed out, we fail to ap- preciate life to the fullest . . . To remain human we must break away from the ordinary, and begin to live extraordinary lives, to realize that Christ-likeness is a sign of greatness. Father said many striking things durng re- treat. One of his most powerful conferences was his talk on the dignity of womanhood. It is important for you to realize, he stressed, that a woman has by the gift of her nature the most powerful instrument in the world. This power can be used for good, or it can be used for evil. Using it, a woman can raise man to his highest spiritual stature or drag him down to the depths ot infamy . . . When a woman fails to live up to her high calling, when she comes out of the depths and is bamboozled by the devil into leading a shallow, puny, artifical life -she becomes a miserable, cold, calculating, dispicable, deplorable specimen of humanity.
