Beth Wetherill sorts her books. cz Woman Molded in Truth and Sczcrzfice Woman before God and Man-an individual, a sculpture, molded and shaped by personalities, memories, childhood fidelities. A woman becomes complete only in the fulfillment of her function. She loves, she sacrifices, she devotes. She is secure only in making others secure. From the time she first speaks she reaches out to this goal. As a child, she takes in everything about her, yet unconsciously. She knows she must do something, but she doesnft know why. This is part of her instinctive nature as a woman. When her doll falls and bruises her arm she knows she must comfort her by bandgaids and kisses, because Mommy does it. When her dog chews up Daddy's slippers she knows she must scold him. From year to year, from phase to phase, her needs gradually shift. One time it fs dolly, then little brother, then friends. And each need is as real and alive as the one before it, just as are the memories. Through this Gilmarian, it is hoped to show how McAuley has presented itself as another need in the fulfillment of self. Gilmarian means Follower of Mary - Mary, the epitome of self fulfillment. That is what Mother McAuley was and that is what the McAuley student strives to be. In high school the young girl learns to communicate with others. In her search for knowledge she discovers not only others' needs but also her own dependence upon everyone else. In this realization she becomes receptive to those about her and she finds satis- faction in answering the needs of others. Before, she did this because it was right, because g'Mommy did itu-now she does it because she realizes the why. 3

Challenges Youth's Ambition to 'Become' -SB Ml. Skipping down the hall, obviously late for her next math class, is Sister Mary Roger. Woman grows in awareness Now that the young girl knows why she must have others depend on her, she feels responsible and she is responsible. It is now her vocation as a student to learn and to develop this understanding. She is challenged by responsibilities which are hers only if she accepts them. It is whether she accepts them or not which prepares her for the future. Shall I stay till 5 o'clock and work with Queen's Aposto- late? Shall I help jean with her math, or shall I do my own homework? Shall I go to rosary, or shall I talk in the locker room? Shall I decorate for the dance, or shall I work on my term paper? It is her decision alone. She must be open to these sacrifices to become a complete woman. In her growing awareness she feels, then, the need to be complemented by someone else-a man, whether this man be human or Christ. Each new step in life has-helped prepare her for this moment. Will she be able to accept this complete giving of self? Entranced with the knowledge not yet learned, Janice Ludwikoski works late into the evening. 5
