1 Spiritual confer- ences with the re- treat masters, Rev. Felix Flynn and Rev. Cyril Leach, ' provided food for thought for all students. Retreat February 3, 4, 5 Free time for spiritual reading and meditati on gave the girls an opportunity to ponder lsilence helped too.l Morning Mass was, one of the high- lights of the day, as evidenced by the large number of municants. Jovial Sheila Boyle excitedly fishes for a surprise package in the fish pond which gave all com- ers a White Ele- phant. Senior Arlene Mon- teverdi happily clutches the small white paper win- ner drawn from 25 others which won for her a 45 long playing record. All tor the Missions! Having just arisen from a savory lunch served by the Sophs, small groups of revelers drifted up lrom the cafeteria to patronize the gaily decorated mission booths. All classes had outdone them- selves to make their concessions the most attractive and interesting but the ingeni- ous Seniors carried away the award with their clever decorations and enticing cakes. Not me, the balloons! cries senior booth worker Maureen Valci, who claims to have risked her very life for the Missions. 72 BV.

February lO- iiwlllle ElSpl'1Cll'll'H DCIY The growing tide of white elephants which marks the advent of the annual Mission day began this year in mid-January. Competition opened as the days flew by, and inter-class contests were inaugu- rated to encourage the flow of gifts someone else might use. Mysterious bundles and odd-shaped packages added a distinguishing character to most school-bound Pres-ites. Maureen Foster Junior Social Director At last the eve of the long awaited day arrived and the gym was suddenly transformed into some- thing even more alluring than a penny arcade-tam talizing carnival booths, heavenly raffles, celestial cakes-and all for the missions! Following a mission theme each class worked to top the other in spirit and generosity. The proceeds from the all-school effort, which totaled well over 5950, were sent to aid in the foreign mission fields. When the day was done many weary but happy girls were heard to remark that White Elephant Day was an unbeatable way to mix business with pleasure. Junior Show Little Miss Broadway a clever musical presented by the Juniors for the Missions, proved a financial as well as a social success. Colorful paper daisies represent- ing tickets blossomed on the lapels of the curious- minded as they hustled into the Little Theater before curtain time. Consisting of two acts, the show pro- vided entertainment and enioyment for everyone. Cowboys and cowgirls, blacksmiths, maiorettes, acro- bats, stagehands and even a comic horse traipsed gaily across the stage, much to the delight of the audience. With the fall of the final curtain all unani- mously agreed that the current Junior class had met tradition nobly with a truly 'great' show.
