Nflessage O70 oqlze Qracfuabes Dear Graduates, As always, it is with regret that we say au revoir . Some of you have spent fourteen years at Sion, others only a few, but no matter the time, you are all very dear to us. Your life is like a tapestry. At Sion, you and we have been the weavers. And now the time has come for us to step from behind the loom and together see what we have accomplished. ls charity clearly woven thereon? Do we find the ideal contained in your motto, non sibi sed omnibus ? We know that the tapestry is unfinished but the beginnings are there, so carry on your good work, Graduates. May your efforts always give glory to the Master Weaver and honor to your Alma Mater. God bless you and guide you! Notre Mere Cqracfitlonla y From the Senior stairs to the tiny red crosses of the first graders, all of Sion's traditions are as old as the school, and all are held in high esteem by her students. The wise , mature senior can easily remember back to her first ex- planation of the individual class colors as seen in the cross and belt worn by the students, and in the Cordon awarded to each deserving girl by Notre Mere at the Grande Assemblee. For the Seniors, there are special privileges, like the Senior Stairs and the beloved Senior Room. The Senior ring is, of course, the most cherished possession of all. There are, too, the understood traditions, as well as the material ones. . .like that special feeling of belonging , and the spirit of family life, and the love of God and our Blessed Lady which permeates the halls of Sion and binds us forever to the blessed memory of Notre Dame de Sion. ion - - - Her History Slon's history began in a small, obscure church of Rome, Sant' Andrea delle Pratte. 'Here Our Lady appeared to a young Jewish agnostic, Alphonse Ratisbonne. This powerful event led to his baptism and eventually to Holy Orders. Later Father Marie Alphonse joined his brother, Father Theodore, and together they began a work of prayer and sacrifice, an apostolate for the conversion of their race. Their efforts met with such success that two religious congregations were founded, one of priests and the other of sisters, which have continued the work of the Fathers Ratisbonne and have spread their zeal and teachings all over the world. Now more than a hundred years after her appearance, Our Lady reigns as queen and mother in forty-nine houses of Sion and awaits the day when she can again enter in five sions behind the Iron Curtain. Although each of the houses of Notre Dame de Sion is im- pregnated with the same inherited spirit, our school in Kansas City is dearest to us. It originated on Benton Boulevard in 1912 and moved successively to Prospect, Warwick, and Armour Boulevards now it stands on Sion Hill over looking Gillham Road. As we look up at this stately edifice we see only the expansive comfortable home we have today. To our Notre Mere and to all those, past and present who have made it possible for us to enjoy Sion Hill, we say a heartfelt thank you' In Memoriam On January 18th the sisters lost a beloved member of their community in the person of Mother M. Noemi. Mere Noemi was one of the foundresses of Notre Dame de Sion 'in Kansas City and her former pupils will remember her as an able and enthusiastic teacherl Failing health brought her work in the classroom to an end in 1921. From that time on Mere Noemi's little room became an increasingly active center forthe Apostleship of Prayer for Israel. So out- standing were her efforts that in 1956, she received the Edith Stein Guild's first award for her invaluable work in improving relations between Iews and Catholics .

The outstanding event of the junior year was the junior-Senior Prom given this year in the Empire Room on the Plaza with George Tidona's Band providing the music, and the junior class once again acting as hostesses to the departing seniors.

Inner Council Carol Houlihan and Marilyn Roach discuss a problem with Sister Winifred. Senior Sodality Perpetual consecration to Our Lady as an Enfant de Marie de Sion, is the deepest spiritual aspiration of a high school student. At Sion the Sodality has always been con- sidered a school of perfection where the aspirants desire to attain the greatest possiblef holiness and possess a life radiating the powers of personal fervor and apostolic zeal. Junior Sodalily The Iunior Sodality of Our Lady was one of the organizations that was renewed on campus this year. The members consist of those freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who are striving toward the great honor of being received as aspirants in the Senior Sodality of the Children of Mary. The Drama club, under the direction of Miss Lucas, produced one major production this year. The members of this organization not only made up the cast of the all-student production but were responsible for props, lighting, and other stage effects. Its players number forty- two with their executives: Marie Chombart, President: Browny Neal, Vice-President: and Ianet Tucker, Secretary. 5 it 5 Y at smwki is Vt rr The Glee club, a high school organization, is under the direction this year of Mrs. Patrick Dennihan. The group sings at many school functions throughout the year and provides much entertainment with programs of varied musical compositions. Wk TK if -S...

In Kansas City, our own Notre Mere's feast occurred on Feb- ruary ll, the date commemorating the apparition of the Blessed Virgin to Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. The day began with High Mass in the chapel celebrat- ed by Reverend Iames Schlafly. La Fele De Notre Mere The day continued with a festive array of various presen- tations, as each class honored Notre Mere. Highlighting the day was the French play directed by Sr. Marie Lucienne de Sion. This play, which expressed beautifully the Ioyous Mysteries of the Rosary, had in its cast members hom all the grades both high school and grade school. It was a .day of celebration that will be long remembered by all the students of Sion.
