The first was the voice and piano recital given by the music students. A pleasant contrast to this classical program was the sophomores' celebration of St. Patriclc's Day. Amid Nlast calls for basketball practices and the final as- signments of our third quarter, they found time to pre- pare a delightful program of song, dance, and pan- tomime for the faculty and the students. Throughout the year We have had several interesting lecturesg now toward the end of this series we were given a special treat with Father Keller's lecture on The Christophers. ln this time of need each student was urged to carry Christ into the Mmarket placcf, March on the Mary Manse campus also witnessed a regional meeting of the N.F.C.C.S. and the collection of clothing for students in Europe.
