Seminar We never know how high we are, Till we are called to rise; And then if we are true to plan, Our statures touch the skies. Emily Dickinson The Student Seminar, under the sponsor- ship of the Faculty Scholarship Committee, is the newest project underway at Lillis. By research and contribution to group discussion, the Seminar prepares the gifted student not only for various scholarship and college en- trance examinations, but also for the chal- lenge of college itself. Harry Jones, a graduate of the Class of '47 who holds an A. B., gave the introductory lecture to the group of juniors and seniors invited to participate in the seminar. The picture above was taken while the opening session was in progress. Pat Ryan, to the right of the tape recorder, was chairman with Mr. Charles Sandy as faculty moderator. Noland Davis, to the left of the recorder, ex- plains a point. Sandy Overman, at Pat Ryan’s left, relaxes after her speech.

Ad Jesum Per Mariam The Sodality of Our Lady, organized to foster a greater devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, helps the Lillis students to realize the need for and to develop a deeper spiritual life. Besides the prayers and per- sonal devotions prescribed in their rule, the sodalists undertake projects in which they can serve Christ in their neighbors through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
