'if K' Ll ' The mellowed traces of summer still linger on the campus when students W- K' gi, ' of the Orchard Lake Schools prepare for the fall term. As brilliant leaves are In .Z S , tossed and swirled by the chilling breezes of late Autumn, the treasured mem- j,,i:'j.f '- - 1-2,553 ories of vacation slowly recede to make way for the newer interests of academic life. The annual retreat is a time for resolve when everyone confirms his X , ho eful ambitions for the comin ear. The cha el ins ires the necessar ,,S,I5,4,wE 2 V P 3 Y P P Y '-sw?-E.: xsrtu' - vs ' Y.. -' - ,L ' 'Q ..-- ' help to make these desires develop into much more than mere dreams. In the midst of the vital religious, scholastic, and recreational events, the young men hardly notice the frost that stiffens the Halloween moon. Rosary devotions, various classes and flying footballs hold the interest of the entire institution. The quarterly exams are already concluded with a devout Deo gratiasv when the canonical purple of Advent strengthens the waning fervor of the students. The feast of the Immaculate Conception sees some of the men in the seminary approach nearer the Holy Priesthood. Soon all eyes glisten with the Christmas Star. Archbishop Gawlina's visit to Orchard Lake was the occasion for a great banquet attended by Bishops Woznicki and Zaleski and many of the clergy from the Archdiocese of Detroit and Diocese of Saginaw.

T 1' i n-ttf. fl ',,Q'Hi V iii V, Preparing the Christmas Crib in the entrance of College Hall is a sure sign of the approaching holidays and is always a source of much pleasure and merriment. After a rousing salute to the Christ Child, the Orchard Lake campus peacefully resounds with the traditional refrains of the Christmas Musicale. Winter's calm ascendancy is sharply challenged as the revitalized students resume their varied activities. The air is charged as all strive to gain impetus to persevere in this important period of the year. A general tension envelops the halls as mid-semester exams draw near. The gymnasium and recreation rooms are welcome havens in this trying time. The frozen lake invites the more robust to skate or fish in the invigorating outdoors. The fertile liturgy of Lent elicits a rebirth of zeal as many small sacrifices are united with the passion of Christ to embellish them with eternal merit. Finally the heavy yoke of winter begins to lose its grip on the campus when the conquering Christ bursts wide the claws of clammy death. The joyful heralds of a new season gladden the hearts at Saint Mary's. ,f Hi The Moms and Dads of the Prep- men arrange a festive Christ- mas party on the afternoon of the last Sunday before the Yule- tide vacation for all the parents of the students, the Faculty and student body. The History and Library Departments spon- sor a historical symposium in the Reading Room of the Library each year on Found- er's Day.
