Lois Anne Liebert, the artist for the Alvernian,,' displays a smile of approval, as Eileen Wetzel moves another boat over the waves toward the lighthouse. The girls are ready to admit that the sailing was not always smooth for everyone, but each class managed to fight their way through the squalls, and reached their 10072, goal at the close of the drive. During the later part of September and October, noon was not only lunchtime, but also the time when these money col- lectors worked on patrons, patrons, and more patrons. Many times the tears were close, and often the hair took a beating, but each of their efforts were rewarded with the final success of the drive. The Alvernian Experience is the best teacher, but also a rich source of happiness, sorrow, and cherished memories, When the 1957 Alvernian staff was elected, little did they realize what an education it would be in many ways!!!! Appreciation of former yearbooks came in leaps and bounds as the editing continued. The first step towards their utopia came with the successful termination of the patron drive, Patience and selflessness were demanded of them in order to meet the deadlines and provide for Writeups and picture taking, Perplexing, burdensome and time consuming, this blessed culprit of labor was finally sent off to press. Never will be forgotten this experience and lesson for life, with the theme for Eternity: So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to God, your Father in Heaven. Oresta Ritchie, the staff writerg Mary Lou Ricketts, editor-in-chiefg and Patricia Buck, assistant editor: are not always this calm, cool, and collected during a yearbook meeting, but every effort they have put into these pages does have the hope attached to it, that each person reading the book will be a little better on account of it.

In view of the Catholic outlook on parent-child relationship, the parent wishes his child to be armed physically, mentally, but mostly spiritually to brave- ly challenge the materialistic ideas that confront him as he enters his stage of development into adulthood. Physically, their child is their own re- sponsibility. Mentally and spiritually, others, mainly the teachers in the Catholic schools, lend helping hands. The Parent-Teac.her Guild has as its main purpose a more definite understanding between teacher and parent for the betterment of the child's own welfare. Mount Alvernia's P.T.G. has done much for each student. This active organization is the unseen financial hand behind many of the activi- ties including the C.hristmas program and the annual school picnic. The members sponsor the Bingos, and often act as chaperons at school functions. The gen- erosity of these people will hold a special place in the heart of each student as she recalls the many privileges the Guild made possible for M.A.H. Parent Teacher Guild L. to R.: Mr. Stephen Klein, Treasurer: Mr Ralph Malley, President: Mr. Charles Mul- doon, Secretary, Mr. Theodore Cvetic, Vice- President, and Mrs. Ralph Malley, Corre- sponding Secretary. At the Senior-Freshmen Social, each freshman received her beanie and medal which put the final touch to her uniform, and made her a real Mountie. The parents of the freshmen were invited to this event, and Mr. Malley acquainted the new parents with the purpose of the Parent- Teacher Guild.
