We approached His inviting Heart during retreat with the mixed feeling of longing and joy- longing to hear His whisperings, and joy to know we could be alone with Christ for three days of meditation, prayer, and solitude. Through the conferences with Father XVilliam B. Gallagher, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Church in Cates Mills, the juniors and seniors learned more of being like Christ and His Mother. Sophomores and freshmen visited ,lesus in the auditorium, where He dwelt as the Prisoner of Love for the three days of the retreat. Father Urban If. Gerhart, assistant at Blessed Sacrament Church, helped them to understand that there is no love that compares with being in love with Christ, and that every- one's vocation is to be a saint. 26 sophomores. ltleanor Seslokax and l,lCX'll1.l Koenig eniny' l'L'.lLlil14lQ painplilels duri 1, FCI Veal .

With O Mary, we crown thee with blos- soms today singing in their hearts, senior high sodalists brought to a climax the tradi- 4--YZ tionally beautiful May Crowning at Notre Dame. This year, Mary's Day, the day set aside to do special honor to the patroncss of our country, our school, and our Sodality, was May 25. Kathleen Ankenbrandt, May Queen, wearing a white gown to symbolize the purity of God's Mother, was chosen by her senior classmates to crown their Heavenly Queen with a floral garland. Dressed in soft pastel formals and carrying large bouquets of roses, her attendants, one chosen from every senior high homeroom, followed the Queen and her Maid of Honor, Mary Lou Morris, as they walked slowly to pay court to the royalty of Heaven. Although sometimes it rains on Mary's Day, nothing can destroy its beauty or sym- bolism and who can help feeling that Mary, brushing aside the tears the rain drops make on her beautiful statue, is smiling with pleasure. 27
