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.
