A cheerful and relaxing atmosphere adds enioyment to the students' favorite period. The search for knowledge becomes a pleasure in the library's cheerful atmosphere of silence. Central artery of school traffic, Main Street fills the student's every need, be it compasses, candy, cake, or Chaucer. Competing for students' funds are Sister Mary An- gela's store and the snack bar under management of Sis- ter Mary Ruth, which present between them a disturb- ingly inviting array of supplies for intellectual and other hunger. A more substantial food for thought is provided by the modern cafeteria which, under Sister Mary Cyril's able care, exerts a warm, cheerful influence over the busi- est day. Sister Mary Margaret has made the library a place of refuge for those in search of knowledge, information or mental relaxation. Each in its own way, the various spots along Main Street lend an order, convenience and completeness to life in Our Town. lt's that special touch that counts, advises Sister Mary Ruth to aspirants Mary Katherine Peebles and Mary Jo Burens, while Susan Luscombe and Patricia Buechner wait anxiously for that free sample.

Every yearbook has one of these-a staff, that is. U40 Center: Lucille Dinon, Kathleen Drummond, Wanda Costanzo, Co-Editors. First Row- Mary Catherine Dugan, Catherine Mc- Guiness, Mary Lou Usilton, Katherine Mcllhenny, Sonia Kuryloski, Joanne Greentield ancl Monica Anastasi. Along the busy avenue of Publisher's Row can be found the bustling headquarters of Meriannal, the yearbook, and Ricot- dia, the newspaper. Both these publications have a pleasant, newsy, hometown flavor. Meriannal, moderated by Sister Mary Martin, is the Senior Class's record of what they saw and heard along the way in traveling through the town. lt is a lively book, because it is a picture of lite, and yet it is a silent book, noiselessly telling the impressions and feelings ot the group which publishes it. Ricordia, however, speaks loudly and clearly on important issues. Not merely a news reporter, under the guidance of Miss Jane Mitchell, it interprets, draws meaning from and sometimes laughs with day to day events, adding a certain excitement ancl sparkle to the commonplace, and drawing attention to the un- usual. is-annul?
