Cut Lad of Fatima Club Father Ferris Guay, Diocesan Director of Voca- tions, inaugurated the Our Lady of Fatima Club here at the Mount in January. Its members intend to honor the Blessed Mother by promoting voca- tions. To participate in this form of Catholic Action, they pray daily for vocations as well as for a knowledge of their own state in life, and they receive Holy Communion every week. The first activity of the new club was a visit to Saint Mary's Novitiate, followed by Benediction in the novitiate chapel. Mission Club Mary Lou Ritchie, Patricia O'I-ianlon, joan Daly, Leslie Mulviliill, Donna Marie Gagliardi, Rosemary Berardino, Marian Pillart, joan Welling, Carol Brant, and Georgia Ann Pfolil packing Christmas boxes. 1 iw The basic interest of the Mission Club is to aid those who are working where the light of faith glows feebly. The entire student body is eligible for membership. Students respond generously to the Club's drives and projects used to direct at- tention to this worthy cause.

To develop poise and confidence through correct speaking is the objective of the Catholic Forensic League. Our Lady of Mercy, as an active Chapter of the League, has not only participated in tourna- ments throughout the city, but also has promoted projects here on campus through classes in speech and drama, and by means of clinical work in the use of wire and disc recordings. The high points of the year 1950-S1 consisted of an interscholastic tournament sponsored by the O.L.O.M.A. Chapter, a radio broadcast, and a representation in the Diocesan Student Congress. Through the coaching of the moderators, Sister M. Irene and Sister M. Marguerite, all the members have attained degrees of honor in the diocesan ratings of the League.
