SENIOR PROM AND DINNER A year ago this june Oratory held its first post-war prom at the Beechwood Hotel Ballroom in Summit. Since this occasion was to be one of our many firsts all the lirst nighters were there with their girls. The prom called for, of course, formal dress but the choice of jackets was optional. Most of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors arrived early and were treated to a handsome dinner. The Hoor was then cleared and we danced happily on into morning. This last january an Alumni Dance was held at which thejuniors and seniors re- newed old acquaintances with the grads of yesteryear. The music was swell thanks to another alumnus, Buddy Dillon, who provided his talents and his orchestra. We know that Father Bain and the faculty were pleased to see the representative spirit which was exhibited so well by High School and Alumni. We look to the future for more enjoyable times such as these.

tkjgiti ALUMNI REUNION The old grads of our Alma Mater held a reunion recently, At this meeting a new Alumni Club was organized and its officers were elected for the coming year. Many new plans were discussed but the main question they all had was: What about our new athletic field? They are all ready and eager to help. This kind of spirit will never cease at Oratory. With the ground being broken in early summer it is ex- pected to be completed in time for the reopening of school in September. The Alumni and the other numerous school organizations are all pooling their resources for the betterment of the school they all love so well. None of the Alumni will ever forget the happy years spent here at The Oratoryf' We, the future alumni, hope we too someday have a chance to do something for our Alma Mater. We sincerely hope that we can keep up this organization which does so much for the spirit of the school. We also hope that the officers elected to their respective othces keep on doing the hne work which they started. The task ahead of them is a long and hard one, but with the help and grace of God the spirit of Oratory will live forever.
