The girls had the privi- lege of kneeling very c105: to Our Lady's Statue durh ing the services, of venerat- ing it afterwards. and of touching her rosary. In the presence of this gracefully carved statue. these youth- ful lovers of Mary consev crated themselves to the Immaculate H c :1 1' t of Mary, pledged themselves to pray for peace. and to make sacrifices for the con- version of Russia. On looking at the beautiful, tender, sweet Virgin it was not hard for any Mel'- cian pilgrim to sense some- thing of the simple gran- deur of Our Lady of Fatima.

Page 49 IN MEMORIAM SISTER MARY ADELAIDE, R.S.M. She has gone! No more we'll see Our beloved friend who, so eagerly, Awaited our ca'lls from day to day As busily we'd wend our way To her old haunt, the library, Where for us she labored so faithfully. No task too great, no deed to small, To guide and help us, one and all. Our research was a pleasant task. There seemed no question we could ask But the answers she would help us find. If slow to comprehend, she never seemed to mind. She meant a lot to us w and so 7We miss her more than you could know, Her friendly smile, her patient way Of helping us from day to day. But often we can breathe a prayer While working in the library, where She served so well Our Blessed Lord. May He Himself be her reward!

Mrs. Gertrude Eckhoff Hatke Treasurer ....................... Miss Ann Ruth Katg Much interest and enthusiasm has been manifested in our Alumnae the ' past few years. Through the efforts of many loyal and interested members, the organization has successfully accomplished many splendid and worthwhile achievementsi Benefits both social and spiritual are realized by all who happily participate in Alumnae events, A varied and interesting program of activities seems no meet the wishes and needs of the various Alumnae groups. Highlighting the past yearis Alumnae program were a Christmas Carol program, which brought a splendid group of choristers, who, with their exquisite voices, delighted a large and appreciative audience and Recollection Day, which brought special spiritual blessings to two hundred twenty mem- bers. The Card Party and Rafiie, sponsored mostly by the older members, was most successful. Three Alumnae dances, especially the two with Roger Bacon Alumni. were each a remarkable success, financially and sOcially. Our Fatima Legion, a- special select group, is growing strong spiritually, winning devoted clients to Our Lady of Fatima. With the new members in the Class of 48 who are spirited and promising, Our Lady of Mercy Alumnae may reasonably expect even greater achievements. Page 61 HIuTIME BROADCAST PAPER DRIVE Page 62 Aug.
