Situated in the midst of MoylanfRose Valley in Delaware County are the thirteen aeres of magniiiecnt campus which surround Notre Dame Catholic Girls' High School. A thirtyfminute train ride from Phila' delphia will hring you to the collegiate huilding of Gothic architecture and Fox' croft stone walls. Beautiful old trees, hroad lawns that slope down to the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes on the south and to the athlctie field on the north, draw many ad' mirers to the school's grounds. Fourteen hundred and eightyffive girls coming from 47 parishes hy means of 23 schoolfhus routes, huses, trolleys, and trains arrive for classes held under the guidance of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. During the nine periods of the school day, each girl, whether in the Commercial, Aeaf demie, Seienee, Art or HomefEconomiCs course, is learning something to aid her in her role as a model young Catholic woman. From the Grand Court the statue of Our Lady, Queen of Heaven, watches over the students who pray to their patroness in the words of their school motto: Mary, he the light of our way!

4 sq,-K N ur ,god in Me greaf lrama THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE The curtain is rising! After many a long rehearsal the seniors are about to step out upon the stage of womanhood to take their role in The American Way of Life. ' The opening day has come. This lavish production which has been four years in the making will feature many settings -the business office, the college campus, the home, the hospital, the laboratory, the classroom. As we wait for our entrance cue, we remember with gratitude the untiring zeal and self-sacrifice of the Producers and Directors of our rehearsals--our Diocesan Superintendents who planned so carefully our daily program, and our Faculty who prepared each girlithoroughly for the role she will play. Here in the 1956 MARYSCRIPT we take you backstage to glimpse our rehearsals. We will go into classes with the stars and see the part each hour of instruction has played in our formation. And you will notice the invaluable lessons of fair play, true citizenship, and justice strengthened through work and play. We are eager to begin our part in The American Way of Life. May we never forget the lessons we have learned. May we love our part in this great Christian drama and exercise with joy the God-given rights of free- dom of religion, freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to live The American Way of Life.
