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.
