Sister Yvette, on friendly terms with every stu- dent, supervises the school with a small but determined hand. ln the commercial room Sister Mathia, with her up-to-date ideas, wins the hearts of all who know her, while the sound ad- vice of Sister Maurice and her interesting, delightful sayings provide many a happy smile to students and faculty alike. Sister Winifred, who possesses a thorough system of education, always displays a ready smile and a word of encouragement. Sister Gemella, a quiet intellec- tual with a flare for the scientific, imprints indelible knowledge in the minds of her students, Sister Elise, who teaches the difference between who and whom, is always ready to give help and adviceg and Sister Lois not only demonstrates the difference between one and two cups of sugar but also teaches her class to produce savory and delightful dishes. Last but not least, the drawings of Sister Carlan, together with the Notre Dame Mixed Chorus, will re- main as a lasting reminder of her excellent talent. Page Eleven

ffiifsiifssm 935 :silt MONSIGNOR JOSEPH R. CASEY Pastor, Holy Redeemer Parish An outstanding director for many years, Monsignor Joseph R. Casey through his untiring effort and capability has been indispensable in the completion of the 1953 Notre Dame drama. As a director, Monsignor Casey has kept a watchful eye on the progress of the stage setting and has taken a personal interest in the preparation of the actors for their role in A YEAR OF TRANSITION. In this, A YEAR OF TRANSITION, Father Hanley has brought to the freshmen and sophomores the im- portance of religious training through his kind, likable, and charitable man- ner. The juniors and seniors will never forget his wonderful spiritual help that will direct them through- out their entire lives. How will the wind blow to-day? Juniors and seniors can be sure of one thing - to expect the least ex- pected when they enter their daily religion class. Nevertheless, Father Tague has illuminated for his stu- dents a spiritual path to follow in the future. REVEREND JULIUS G. KLINEC Pastor, Saint Mary Parish In order to stage a successful drama, a director must give close attention to the minute details essential for the pro- duction. As acting administrator of Notre Dame, Father Klinec has given faithful attention not only to weighty problems but also to hundreds of small though vitally important details. By word and example he has endowed those under his care with the fundamental principles neces- sary for a true Christian life.

What a variety of characters, each in his own way enacting his role to the best of his abilityl All are working togetherg yet each player stands out as an individual and takes pride in his contribution, large or small, to the drama of school life.
