During the past few years, the Power Motheris Club has greatly increased its social activities due mainly to the enlarged interest shown by its members. The Motheris Club is directly responsible for numer- ous social functions and activities held during the scho- lastic annum. Because of the good and gracious mothers, such large undertakings as the completion of the Cold Star Gymnasium, and the redecorating of the school chapel have been accomplished. Some of the many tasks facing Brother Pakenham and the members of the club every year are, among others, the planning of the reception for the parents of the incoming students. Also on the agenda is the plan- ning of the annual Communion Breakfast which affords spiritual nourishment and recollection for the mothers. This year, the Breakfast was held on Sunday, April 7. Holy Mass was celebrated in the Cym at 9 A.M., and after Mass, the more than 400 mothers proceeded to the beautiful and spacious Park Sheraton Hotel, where a delicious breakfast was served to the members. The Motheris Club was most fortunate in obtaining Msgr. Patrick Linehan, President of Cathedral College, as their guest speaker. The mothers brought their endeavors to a successful close with the grand Card Party which was held in the Hotel Biltmore on the evening of May 24. A great deal of the success of the Mother's Club must be attributed to Brother Alphonsns l.. Pakenbam, the tireless moderator, and to the efficient officers consist- ing of Mrs. Mildred Ilolfelder, Presidentg Mrs. Patricia Charbonneau, Vice Presidentg Mrs. Margaret Dunne, Treasurerg Mrs. Anne YVojcick, Asst. Treasurer, Mrs. Irene Mullaney, Becording Secretaryg and Mrs. Frances Walsh, Corresponding Secretary. i l MONSIGNOR LENEHAM speaking at the breakfast on Catho- lic Parents' cooperation with Teachers.
