Inspite of the fact that the ther¬ mometer registered twenty some odd degrees below zero, the M. S.N.A. o ganized a skating party for January. Quite a number of girls turned out in their skates, scarves and woolies. This time the St. Boniface students acted as hostesses. Highlighting the year was the an¬ nual Winter Whirl, ’’ - the Valentine formal. This year it was held on the 14th of February at the Blue Room in the General Hospital School of Nursing Residence. Misericordia was proud to have Eva Lachance as their candidate for Valentine Queen. On January 31, the School held a farewell party in honour of the two graduating classes - 62-A and 62-B. Each under-graduating class provided the entertainment by putting on an original skit. Individually, each graduate introduced her¬ self and revealed her plans for the future. Mother St. Odilon presented each with a souvenir of the school. Congratulations! Common courtesy at the school does not go un¬ awarded. Every three months recognition is given a senior student who warrants this merit. There is no favoritism or prejudice present since the winner is determined by the popular vote of the Student Body.
