While the Genesians will produce the three-act play, parts were open for all members of the student body who tried out.

What miracle brought this about, when originally the fuel tank was empty? Actually it wasn't a miracle but the combined efforts of the four classes. Although the seniors tried to dis- courage (or edify) the rest of the school by reaching their goal on the first day, the juniors and freshmen reached the 100r c mark during the countdown (first time for frosh). Over $4000 poured into the business manager's desk, relieving the business staff of future financial worries. With over 260% of their goal, the seniors won the drive. Pepc Lc Pew, senior mascot, was crowned Honorary King of the laurclettc drive. The staff of your magazine wishes to thank you for putting the Uurelcttc in orbit. A junior walks down the hall, deep in con vcrsation with Sister Joan Clare.

We are one in One f7he first session of Vatican II has come and gone and shed its dawn-light on the Church. And while the Council secretariat prepares the schema for twenty subjects yet-to- be-discussed, the laity, the clergy, and those outside the Church are looking back and asking, thinking, or maybe just watching. Unity has assumed a new identity—the Council calls unity truth and is attempting to radiate it by being “a celebration of the union of those who live in Christ.” Sur- rounded by the straight-laced orthodoxy of the Roman Curia, Pope John subtly influenced a trend toward de- centralization. The Council fathers demonstrated the degree of this influence in the first session: a vote of 1,922 to 11 gave the world's bishops authority to decide in their own dioceses (without first consulting the Curia) whether or not to use the vernacular in certain parts of the Mass. Pope John and the Council are lighting the way for a new kind of unity, which has as its ultimate end a con- gregation of participating Christians. The participation desired includes a wide range: from Mass participation to participating in permanently healing the Christian schism. The Church is not the possession of the hierarchy . but the common responsibility of each of its mem- bers,” Pope John declared in “Ad Petri Cathedram. This encyclical, issued June 29, 1959, announced tht Council. It was the first time John XXIII officially men- tioned unity—“unity of the sacrifice of the Mass . .] is more beautiful when seen in different forms.” He was urging the celebration of Mass in accordance with loca customs around the world. Pope John is hoping to see this kind of reform take shape in even the most remote reaches of Catholicism Reforming the Church, however, is tediously slow, evei in this winged and rocket-propelled era. Fifteen year ago Pope Pius XII issued “Mediator Dei” which urge» lay participation in the Mass; still, it is possible to ente many a present-day Church on Sunday and find little o no such participation. Seeking “first the kingdom of God and His justice' is the aim that the Council is trying to inspire in th minds of Catholics. The light of the Council is illuminat- ing common knowledge with modern, applicable mean ings which will update the Catholic outlook. The '63 session of Vatican II will be fired from the embers of '62. Reflecting upon that session, Pope John said the Council enabled him “to hear the voice of the whole Catholic world. Perhaps the new-born light of that voice is the first step toward a sharing of what has been given us in the Church.
