The Resident Students September was an unusual month for the Resident Students, g, 1 for they were not only renewing old friendships and finding new acquaintances, hut they were beginning friendships that would last for many, many years. The officers who directed the activities of this organization arc: Loretta Reichert, presidentg Mildred Reichert, vice- presidentg and Jane Maher, secretary-treasurer. When the Resident Students play it may be understood that they play together, and thus a warm afternoon in October found them roasting weiners and marshmallows over the hreplace in the shaded backyard of Lourdes. As the weather became colder and the year drew to a close the Resident Students turned their thoughts to an important Left to right: Jane Maher, Lorena event of the 1947 calendar, the traditional Christmas formal RCiCl1C1'l, Mildred Rffidlefi- dinner. The upperclassmen's reminiscing of previous holiday banquets offered a preview of events for the new students. But the best explanation of such an occasion was given on the evening of December 17, when another of Sister Monica's elaborate turkey dinners was served in an atmosphere of candle light, wintergreens, and Christmas music. This year we have had a unique honor of welcoming several foreign students: Isabelle Liao, Virginia Wlang, Naomi Arteta, Elena Carrera, and Lidia Forastyna. This year, too, ufarewellsn were sung to Steffne Gzik, Mary ,lean Coressel, and Rita Fox, as they left our halls to join religious orders. Yvith the closing of the school year the Resident Students look forward to correspondence and week-end visits with one another, for these are means of recalling all the good times they enjoyed together-numerous good times in the course of a year as a c'boa1'der.

The Art Club Standing left to right: Marilyn Culker, Jean Fitz, Claramac Linenkugel. Seated: Leona Pauken. The Art Club has long been one of the most popular and important clubs at Mary Manse. This year, under the guidance of the faculty advisor, Sr. Veronica, and the president, Leona Pauken. their activities proved to be entertaining as well as instructive. ln addition to trips to the Art Museum, the club sponsors a trip each year to our Cathedral to explain and appreciate the lovely statues, paintings, and style of architecture. Now that the Art Department is firmly established in the Annex, its members have an oppor- tunity to display their work to full advantage. Of special interest at the annual tea and exhibition in the Art Department, was the ceramics display, part of which was later offered for sale just in time for Christmas presents. And those delicious cookies! All agreed it was a most delightful tea. The annual assembly provided us with Z1 very interesting and amusing play. Who knows? Perhaps one day we shall see these actors on Broadway. 64
