Liz, of course. Meetings, minutes, yearbook ads . . . Liz is a very busy executive. She toddled to Ravenhill when she was three years old, and has grown up a part of it. During all these years, she has successfully contributed to every activity, and as President of the Student Council, has been a strong link between the faculty and the students. Liz likes mathematics, but her heart is in sports, in which she excels. As cofcaptain of the basketball team, she enthusiastically led our team to vicf tory in an undefeated season. Liz has good looks, charm, ability, and above all we are going to miss her as a wonderful friend. It is a good thing that we have now in the school a little Liz growing in the person of her niece, Meg. SBSTEFVI PET PEEVE ...,..... FAVORITE EXPRESSION ..... USUALLY SEEN ......,.. . ....

As president of the Athf letic Association and Red Team cap' tain, she has fostered sportsmanship and enthusiasm. From the Assumption Convent in Madrid, Anita came six years ago to Ravenhill. Her dark hair and flashy eyes are a perfect match for her quick and fiery nature. But Anita has really grown up and her strong personality and enthusiasm have been felt in many activities. Anita is going to Mexico this summer, and We hope she will remember us as we remember her. wg? lane Ellis Smith NJANIBN WHITE PET PEEVE .................... . . .Fresh air FAvo1urE EXPRESSION .

V. team, she led them through an undefeated season, but sports are not her main interest. Najiye has high ambitions in the world of science.

This versatile, musical and devoted fiveffooter is always ready and willing to help. She is an accomplished pianist and as assistant organist, she has been the pride and joy of the student body who enjoyed seeing her diminutive figure at the console. Fay Marie has been President of the Junior Adoration Society. We are so glad she is one inch higher than the minimum height for nurses, for such seems to be her career.

To the Freshman, we leave our struggle with second year Latin, and the thrill of our First Prom. To the Sophomores we leave our Biology specimens and the joy of our Class Ring Reception. To the Juniors, we leave our own Senior classroom and all the worries, the happy times, and the wonderful experiences that are part of a Senior at Ravenhill.

DEAR Mimaaas or 'run CLASS or '51: JAs you probably know, our former Student Council President, Lizanne Kelly, has done great things. After studying law and being admitted to the bar, Liz rose higher and higher and she is now in Washington, the only woman ever to be nominated for VicefPresident of the United States. Pending congressional meetings next month, we shall know if she may be appointed. I needn't tell you about Judy Hawthorne. Probably the most publicized woman in America today, she is still her own sweet self. As Catholic Mother of the Year, she is interested only in her family's welfare and in good works. Joan Bonanomi, one of the class geniuses, has opened a delightful rustic hotel. The Tomanjoan Indian Lodge in Neshaminy Falls, Pennsylvania, is known for miles as the place to go for excellent cuisine and an atmosphere of hospitality. For those of you who read New York papers, this will not be news, but for the others, I must tell you of the success of Judy Roberts. After playing summer stock for a year, Judy was spotted by a talent scout for a good part in a Broadway show in which she has been captivating audiences ever since with her satirical wit. In her latest vehicle, Broadway Minus 0ne, she is superb. Her children have never missed a performance. Anita Huidobro, our fiery, Spanish-born athlete is extremely happy in her chosen field of endeavor. As captain and centerfforward of the fivefyearf undefeated AllfAmerican hockey team, and as president of the U. S. Field Hockey Association, she finds time for other things, namely her Champ She is very rushed, but very happy. You've all seen the marvelous articles and pamphf lets by Sister Mary of Carmel, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965. That charming and gracious nun is Carmela Vilotti, whom we thought most likely to raise a large family. Fay Marie Jones, who aspired to nursing as a profession during our four years of High School, has reached her goal, and more. Fay is now Dean of Nurses at a wellfknown hospital in New York. During the past Eve years a capable child psy' chiatrist has developed a large practice in Phila' delphia. You would never guess it, but the grave Doctor E. N. Bekir is Najiye Bekir, the gal we knew so well in school days. She has been very sucf cessfulg keep up the good work, Nonnie. You've all heard, of course, that the President of the Catholic Lay Forum of Philadelphia is Mrs. J. G. Landner, the former Jacquie Green. A wellf known socialite,Jacquie nevertheless, finds time for her husband and her three charming children. One of the most important woman delegates of the U. S. left recently for Tibet on a secret mission. She was none other than Ann Marie Stefanowicz, who, although very busy, has time for her family. Honey Danforth is now Medical Advisor at Women's Medical Hospital. A brilliant surgeon, she is still as witty as ever and everyone at Women's Med. loves her. Janie Smith, the linguist of the class, has put her Ravenhill education to great use. She is now head of the American Consulate in France. Comment allezfvous, Janie? ' As you, who live in Philadelphia know, one of the largest and most elite weddings was held at St. Mary's Church last month. It was the mar' riage of Eileen Bonorna's son, Joseph to Claire Birkmire's daughter, Jeanne. My own sixteen- yearfold Vicki was bridesmaid, and one of Joan Bonanomi's sons was best man. Eileen and Claire looked lovely in Parisian originals from their own select dress shop in Germantown. The name of their smart shop has become a byword with the smartly dressed women of Philadelphia. And so, dear members of the class of '51, we have accomplished many things since our graduaf tion. Some have reached heights, higher and dizzier than others, but all of us have put our education to good use. Oh, we have gone on to higher planes of learning, colleges and universities, but it was the splendid groundfwork of a Ravenhill education that permitted us to scale the heights of higher learning. We have all achieved a position of some consequence in the world. As for me, I have returned to my home in Red Hill, after much traveling, and to my first love, children's dresses. Some of us may never see each other again, but pray that we may all meet someday in Heaven. God bless you all. Sincerely, MACH DAUT mv. W Y 'Q 3 ' , , 1' egg ,Q 'aa fl?

Huidobro THE STUDENT COUNCIL HE Student Council has tried again this year to fulfill loyally its main purpose- that of serving as a link between the Hiculty and the students. Through participation in the many activities sponsored by the Student Council, the girls have learned to share responsibility and to work in cofoperation with the staff. By our membership in the United Student Council Association of Catholic Acad' emies, we have been able to get new points of view, additional ways to foster school spirit and enthusiasm. By participation in the Germantown School Community Council, the oiiicers of the Student Council as well as members of the Ravenhill student body, have learned in a pracf tical way their civic duties and responsibilities as active members in a Community. Needless to say, this could never have been accomplished without the guidance of Reverend Mother and the Class Mistresses who have always given the Student Council untiring help and wholehearted cofoperation.

Regular meetings have heen held and otlicers elected with Ann Mxirie Stefanowicz as President and Claire Birkmire as Secretary. As a result the Association has exerted a deeper influence on the Student Body. Ivfany lweneiits, not only spiritual hut also material, have heen derived from the work of this Association. The group has sponsored activities for the purpose of aiding the missions and of furthering peace. The qualifications for a Child of Mary have been made more stringent this year, for all of us realize what a great privilege it is to belong to the Association and to he worthy of the title ofa Child of Marry. 27 Illitlq row, left turigl1t:.I.

Its thirtyfone lHCIHI3CI'S,OLIl' largest organization in years, worked very hard, under the direction of G. Marston Haddock, to make each Clee Club appear ance perfect. The first activity ofthe year was when we provided the background music for the Christmas Play.

All through thc school year the Clee Club holds a vital spot on our agenda-our radio broadcast on Easter Sunday. thc Germantown Musie Festival the annual Concert andfrinally those last nostalgic strains on Graduation Day when the Seniors sing for the last time in the Ravenhill Glee Club.

This year, it again sponsored a banquet honoring the Hockey and Basketball teams. At the banquet the Association presented a pin to each senior on the teams for her good sportsmanship. This yeir also we realized a dream of long standing. Twelve lovely maroon sports tunics! The team looks extremely neat in them. Ravenhill has had a very successful Hockey season winning 4 out of 6 games, under the leadership of Ann Marie Steiinowicz, our captain. Our basketball team under the captaincy of Lizanne Kelly and Anita Huidobro has triumphed again by winning all its games. The Association sponsored an Alumnae hockey game against our Varsity, and al- though it was a little onefsided, everybody had great fun. The basketball game, Varsity versus Alumnae, everyone enjoyed. I hope that in the years to come the A. A. will accomplish much in sports and for sports. In the name of the Association I would like to extend its thanks to Miss Bernice Cleveland who is substituting for Mrs. Taylor, and to Miss Scarpello who acted as moderf ator of the Athletic Association, and who was a cheering spectator at every game.

Now I am well again and want to thank you. Please, do not take it amiss if I ask for some' thing else. I could not go to Holy Communion in Breslau, where everything was destroyed and the Poles and the Russians took hold of the country. And now it is not possible as my mother earns very little. Could you please let me have a white dress and a pair of white shoes? And perhaps also a candle. I would like to go to Holy Communion on Low Sunday. I know that God will hear my prayers and grant them. God bless you. Gratefully yours, BARBARA BLASCHKE Indian Institute of Social Order, St. Vincent Street, Poona I. April 28th, 1951 My dear Rev. Mother: I feel ashamed of my very long silence. You must not think that this is due to indifference or forget' fulness. I can never forget your kindness nor fail to appreciate the immense favour you have done to me by setting apart the 3rd of each month for adoration for my intentions. Every day I pray for you, and for your community. I have to inform you that there is a very big change in my work and status. I have had to leave Loyola College in January as I have been appointed Director of a new Social Institute which Fr. General wanted to be established as a common work of all the Jesuit Missions of India and Ceylon. The Church must play its part in the establishment in India of a just Social Order and in the struggle against Atheistic Communism. For this reason our Society is very keen on the success of the new Institute and it is for that intention above all that I ask you to pray earnestly. Be sure that I continue to depend on your prayers and shall never forget you at Holy Mass every day. Yours sincerely in O. L., J. D' Souza, S. J. Bremen, den 16. Juni 1949.

JUDY HAWTHORNE, XII Class LA PRINCESSE DE CLEVES Par MADAME DE LAFAYETTE This review was given by Jane Smith at the French Contest held at Temple University in April. Jane won Second Prize in the Fourth Year French Group. Congratulations! Vivant au dixfseptieme siecle, quand toute la literature etait Seals et pas realiste, Madame de Lahiyette plus ou moins surprit la France par la publication de La Princesse de Cleves. On peut meme dire que la vie de l'auteur est un peu ref flechie dans le livre. Cependant, je ferais une digression si je parlais de ses alliiires personnelles a ce momentfci. Enfin, comme j'etudie l'histoire de cette epoque, ce livre m'a donne une bonne vue des moeurs du dixfseptieme siecle. L'histoire se passe en France sous le regne d'f Henri II et de Catherine de Medici. Mademoiselle de Chartres, l'heroine, etait une demoiselle de cette periode, tres bien elevee. Sa mere dirigea toutes ses actions at Vegard des formalites de la Cour. Comme elle etait tres belle, le prince de Cleves lui olfrit sa main, qu'elle accepta. Bientot apres son mariage, Madame de Chartres mourut laissant sa fille triste et solitaire. Malheureusement, Madame de Cleves s'eprit de Monsieur de Ne' mours, un jeune hoinme tres en Hiveur a la Cour. Il s'eprit aussi de la Princesse qui, malgre son inf clination, rebuta toutes ses avances. Quand 9 cherchant l'avis de son mari, elle le lui dit, il devint triste et tres jaloux. Apres quelques mois il mourut d'une hevre mysterieuse. Croyant, enfin, qu'elle serait libre de suivre son inclination, le duc de Nemours supplia la Princesse de l'epouser aussitot que la bienseance le permettrait. Mais elle attribua la mort de son epoux a son inclination pour le duc, et lui nia ce dernier bonheur. Elle se retira au couvent Old elle passa ses jours en vivant tres saintement. Le theme de l'histoire est celui d'une femme vertueuse tfichant de vivre d'une vie normale et d'eviter les tentations du monde. Le livre est de valeur non pour sa langue simple ou son intrigue peu compliquee, mais pour l'exacte peinture des emotions et des motifs des caracteres de l'auteur. Le monde sera longtemps endette 5. Madame de Lafayette puisque c'est elle qui s'arracha au style de convention et donna a la France une simple histoire, peinture iidele de la vie humaine. JANE SMITH, XII Class APRIL April-you hypocrite why are you crying And why are you saddened so? April, your tears are not from your grieving For winter died long ago. April, your face has gone grey with dreaming Your eyes hold the shadow of pain. April, your woe is not for believing I've no sympathy-dear-for your pain. April-your Whimsy in dreaming and sadness Know none of man's practical ways. April-Myour liking for mystical madness Has filled all your dreamfdusted days. April-you wistful, you tearful old dreamer Your face has pretended your pain April-you Vagabond whimsical schemer You think we are fooled by your rain. CONSTANCE HORTON, X Class ARCHBISHOP CARUANA One of the Assumptions dearest and oldest friends, Archbishop George Joseph Caruana died March 25. Archbishop Caruana was a native of Malta. In his varied, interesting, and active apostolate which began at St. Ignatius College, Malta and took him to Rome, the Philippines, United States, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Mexico, Haiti and Cuba, he did great work for God and for the Church. May he now enjoy the reward of his full life. RAVENHILL WINNERS! Splash! The girls hit the water and the race was on. They darted forward. Ravenhill was well represented by Dolly Hill, who broke two records, Elaine Mcllvaine, Pat Morris, Connie Halpin, Susan Hansell, Aideen O'Malley, Paula Cucinotta, Pat Hogan, Sheila Kelly, and Ellie Gallagher. The relays were over, the girls waited tensely, anxf iously for the verdict. lt came. Ravenhill! Win' ner! High with eightyfone points! The girls screamed, and jumped for joy. Come on, team! Let's do it again! Witness of the victory, the beautiful silver cup awarded by the Evening Bulletin stands in the cloister at Ravenhill.

FAI' MARIE JONES, XII Class WHISTLING WEST WIND O Whistling West Wind piercing hills and trees, Seizing, embracing the wide open earth, Unheeded you wail your warning clear, Suddenly, silently, the snow whirls. O West Wind blowing clear, crystal flakes, What patterns symmetrical--what patterns inf finitesimal, With sighing strains, relinquishing cries you give, The snow I call so joyously, preciously, mine. O West Wind fleeing in soft, gentle tones, O'erflowing your willowy white, wispy wonder, Leaving the still, silent softness of snow, And above a silvery starfstudded sky.

Scarpello CLOTHING OF A POSTULANT October fifteenth, the feast of St. Theresa, was a glorious day at Ravenhill, for a postulant was taking the habit. Mother Therese, a former graduate, was to have the privilege of being the first graduate of Ravenhill to enter the Assumption Order. The ceremony was both beautiful and impresf sive, with His Eminence Cardinal Dougherty presiding. It closed with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. A tea was served to the large number of relatives and friends who stayed to congratulate the happy novice. On the eighth of April, the feast of the Good Shepherd, Mother Margaret Francis and Mother Katherine Eugenie, received the purple habit and white veil of the Assumption, at a similarly beau' tiful ceremony presided over by Right Rev. Mon' signor Thomas F. McNally. Reverend Father Anthony J. Flynn gave an inspiring sermon. Mother Margaret Francis was a former student of Ravenhill. ELENA SANTA MARIA, X Class MOTHER CHARLOTTE'S JUBILEE The dull, dreary, drabness of the day, and the rain falling softly, made quite a contrast to the beaming smiles that greeted Mother Charlotte at Ravenhill on Sunday, January the 28th, the occasion of her Golden Jubilee. It was a quiet celebration, as Mother Charlotte had not been well lately. Mass was said for the first time in the Chapel at St. Margaret's for Mother Charlotte's intention. The small chapel was not quite big enough to hold the many nuns who heard Mass with Mother Charlotte that morning, and thanked God with her for her full and apostolic life. CHARLOTTE RALPH, Class of '53 SPRING The shadows from the snowffilled hills have fled And all the lusty winds of March are dead. The air that once was sharp with grief and cold Now bursts with song where bitter winds had tread. The hills were brown and pining with the sorrow of their dress. And the skeletons of poplars had forgotten happi' ness. Yet now the air is filled with peace and song While little winds are teasing hills new green. As joyful brooks wander as they sing All the world pays homage to the Spring. CONSTANCE HORTON, X Class NEWS ABROAD Did You Know That: First prize for a thesis on the Assumption was won by Mother Therese at the Marian Congress at Rennes, France. Mother Rosa Marie, Vicar General in the Philip' pines, was awarded a medal of merit for her work in education by President Quirino. The Asstunption at Santa Ana, El Salvador, was host to a National Convention of Sacred Music. Mother de la Merci, also at Santa Ana, was decorated by the French Government. The Life of Mother Foundress, by de Bernoville, won first prize at the Academie Francaise. HOLIDAYS!

It is spring! Time for dreams! It is summer in Lao Suelg And the people dream when they hear the stranger who comes this June. He is liveried in yellow And his moon face is watching with eager eyes. Tungchickfcomrades, he cries. It is fall in Lao Suelg Leaves, like hope, are snatched apart and ruthlessly dashed to the ground. No one in Lao Suel dreams now. The first sound of grief is a rising tide. Summer and dreams have died. MARY ELIZABETH WARREN, XI Class DR. PATTEE Friday, March 9, 1951, we were honored to have as our guest speaker, the distinguished writer and authority on Spain, Dr. Richard Pattee. Dr. Pattee stated that to understand the Spanish political situation one must understand the people. Dr. Pattee said that Spain was one country that didn't need Communism explained to it as it had Grst hand knowledge of Communism, had fought Communism, and had conquered Communism. JUDY HAWTHORNE, Class of '51 THE DOMINICAN MASS To give the laity a broader and better under' standing of the universality of the Catholic Church and of its various liturgies, each year the Ravenhill Lecture Forum sponsors a series of Masses of differ- ent rites. This year on Sunday, February 4, 1951, a Solemn Dominican High Mass was celebrated here. Reverend Robert F. Conway, O.P., from the Dominican House of Studies, Washington, D. C., was the celebrant and preacher. He was assisted by Reverend Raymond M. McCabe, O.P., as Deacon and Reverend Edward M. Gaffney, O.P., as SubfDeacon. Father Conway explained, in his sermon, that before the 13th century each Monastic Order had different prayers surrounding the essentials of the Mass. When Pope St. Pius V stabilized the liturgy for the Roman Church, he allowed those Orders which had had their rites for over two hundred years, to retain them. For this reason, although part of the Sacrifice handed down by Christ to His Apostles is the same throughout the Church, some of the rituals vary. The Dominican Rite today is the same as it was in the 13th century. In special reverence to the Blessed Sacrament, a Dominican priest never turns his back to the Consecrated Host, but turns halfway to the con- gregation to bless them or to ask them to pray. To the great confusion of altar boys familiar only with the Roman Rite, the Chalice is prepared at the beginning of a Dominican Mass. The Chapel was filled to capacity with inter- ested members and friends of the Forum. The following Rites have been brought to Ravenhill in previous years: The Armenian, the Byzantine, the Slavonic, the Ruthenian and the Maronite. This series of Masses has made us cognizant of the wide diversity and the essential unity of the rituals of the Holy Sacrifice. JANE SMITH, XII Class THE ST. NICHOLAS BAZAAR This year the St. Nicholas Bazaar was held on December 9th. It was a grand climax to the gay preparations of the preceding weeks. The new location of the fete was our auditorium, gaily decorated with fir boughs and Christmas balls. Booths, arranged around the auditorium, offered interesting and beautiful articles for sale. The children were especially delighted by the puppet shows, held this year in Milleret Hall, and the big jolly Santa Claus, who took their Christmas orders and gave each one a small toy. Delicious refreshments were served in the Junior Snack Bar and in the main dining room. The bazaar was, as usual, a gala affair and a huge success. The prohts helped a very worthy cause-Foreign Relief and our School Charities. JOAN BONANOMI, XII Class EICHTH CLASS ill:-rim Liiifrl The class looks tmnml thc Scmor School. Left to'ngl1t: C.

We never are sad, we try not to be bad. You give us joy, each girl and boy. For you are our Mother, we want no other. lvl.-xaiu Fimxcrs SANnEas, V Class OUR LADY The Mother of .lesus has many beautiful titles: Our Lady, Cause of Our loy. Our Lady of Fatima, and many others. I call Motlier Mairy. my own mother because I feel that I know Her personally. My favorite prayer is the Hail Mary. Wlieii I pray, it seems that I am talking to my best friend, who will tell .lesus about me. I think that God will do anything His Mother asks Him, and so each night I pray for the end of wars. Finally, I always thank Our Lady for all the graces She has showered on me. MURIEL LINEY, V Class GIRL SCOUT CEREMONY A major event in the hlunior School was the blessing of the flags of the Brownies and Girl Scouts. At the ceremony a pin was given to each Brownie. The service began with the entry of the flag bearers followed by orderly ranks of Girl Scouts and Brownies. Father joseph O'Brien blessed the flags, and gave a short sermon explaining the im- portant relationship between the Girl Scouts and the Catholic Church. After the sermon the girls rose and recited the Girl Scout pledge. They then proceeded to the altar where Reverend Mother awarded each Brownie a pin. The ceremony was both beautiful and impressive. closing with Bene' diction and the singing of the National Anthem. A movie of a true Brownie in action was given to add the finishing touch to one of the most im' portant events of the year. The Brownies and Girl Scouts are to be congratulated for their fine endeavors in being good Catholic Girl Scouts of America. ELENA SANTA IVIARIA.

THE VISIT TO THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN INSTITUTE The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth classes visited the Benjamin Franklin Institute. Among the many sights we saw were the airplane that Amelia Ehrhart flew when she crossed the Atlantic and set the record for the hrst woman flier to cross this ocean. There was also a war plane that we could get into. It had a metal stick coming out of the floor. We pushed it back and forth to make the tail tip, and sideways to make the wings tip. We saw the first Dell helicopter and the only Wright Brothers plane that can fly. We were permitted to climb into a steam engine and we each had turns working it. All this was interesting but I thought that the lightning was the most exciting. The guide pushed a button and a bolt flew at a post and as it flew it made a terrific crash but when it hit the post nothing happened because the post had a lightning receiver. I enjoyed the trip thoroughly. I hope to go on another one soon. VALERIE HANS, IV Class TO THE SECOND CLASS AND ITS MISTRESS The Secretariat of State of His Holiness is directed to express the Holy Father's sincere ap' preciation of the devoted message of good wishes and prayers addressed to Him, and to convey, as a pledge of abiding divine grace, the paternal Aposf tolic Blessing of His Holiness. ISignedI PIUS XII WHAT I VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND Friendship is something you feel inside of you, deep in your heart. A friend is someone who stays with you in time of danger, and prays for you when you need help badly. One should be able to trust a friend even with one's life. A friend's love is something you cannot acquire over night. It takes time to find someone whom you can call a real friend. When you find one, you should cherish her love and do things to make sure you do not lose her friendship. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. This is the greatest proverb ever written, for it expresses so much. Sharing with someone, giving up your turn in line, are the little things that make friends and keep them. PATRICIA MAYER, VII Class MY FIRST HORSEBACK RIDE My first horse back ride was at Camp Teckaf witha two years ago. The first time I was on a horse, my instructor told me to trot. I thought I was trotting but I was just bouncing up and down, up and down. After a few lessons, how' ever, I did trot and could ride hiirly well. At the end of the camp season I could really canter. Now I want a horse of my own to canter and to trot as I wish.

After Mass, Father Michael Smith,S.j.,gave us an inspiring talk on a Woman's place in the world and Dottie Scullin read our dedication to Our Blessed Lady. Coffee and the Business Meeting followed. Reverend Mother gave us news of her trip to the Val, to Rome, where she and Reverend Mother Rosa Dominica had a private Audience with our Holy Father, to Madrid and Paris. As it was the last meeting with Dottie as President, she thanked the Board very graciously for their cooperation. Those present voted for the new Board. Lunch followed and then we had the opportunity to talk to special Friends among the Nuns. The new set of Officers and Board Members announced at the Meeting in October are as fol- lows: President, Betty CStewartD Dorsey, Vice' President, Elizabeth McGucking Recording Secre- tary, Mallie Vannemang Corresponding Secretary, Chrissie Stewart, Treasurer, Ellin O'Malley' Board Members: Mary McGinnis, Kitty Cannon Elaine McCabe, Glenna Costello, Helena Tiers, Pat Johnson and Dottie CSteidlerJ Scullin form the Board of Directors. Dottie was Chairman of the Bazaar this year and did a beautiful job. The Bazaar, Cana Conference, Retreat, almostfweekly meetings at Ravenhill of two Catholic Action groups, monthly Board meetings, Alumnae lunch- eon for the Graduating Class, attending the Lec' tures, Evenings of Recollection and our own Spiritual Hours with Reverend Mother on the first Sundays have kept us active and close to Ravenhill. The abovementioned affairs and others that brought back the Alumnae have been written up in more detail in our News Letter Ca new Aliunf nae endeavorj, edited by Mary McGinnis. We hope to publish the News in the Spring and Fall and thus divide the Alumnae news with the School Magazine. One of our Red Letter days was April 8th when Mother Margaret Francis CPatsy Stew- artj received her habit. Monsignor Furey came again this year for the Blessing of the Babies-he was such a success last year. The Children's Fete was held in conjunction with it on May 5th. Most of the girls turn out for these specinc things, but it is sweet to see how many just pop in at odd moments-like one weekfday morning when a cab drove up and out stepped Ginnie Langdon with her little- nephew, Marc Sitley. She had a free day, Dottie was up from Ventnor and G. kidnapped the little boy to show him to the Nuns. Others show their interest by just paying their dues, sending messages through mem' bers of their families or writing. This long list includes Jeannette CSchelD Cleaves, who, with her husband and son, is still in Brookline, Mass., Marie CButlerJ Bangs, who has at least four chilf dren and lives in Milwaukee still, Marianne QMC' LellandJ de Verteuil, whom we enjoyed vicar' iously in the person of her delightful Mother, enroute from Trinidad to England last Summer via Ravenhill. Speaking of Trinidad, did you hear that that Claire Farfan asked Mother Laura to tran' scribe Assumpta Est so that she could have it played at her wedding? Jeanie Birkmire helped out with her good typing at a busy time last Sum' mer. Nydia Lopez is one of our strongest rooters in Mexico. Remember how she played the piano. Joan Sommer was always willing to help in emerf gency between modeling appointments and always looking like something out of Vogue Now, she is working in a photographic studio. Ginger Foster pops in whenever she's home from college. Sally CVannemanJ Bradbury came often with Sandy, who was preparing for his First Commun' ion. Elizabeth Russell CAssumpta College, Londonj had to return to England, where she is teaching in Essex. Her letters evidence quite a longing to see her American friends. In her place we have Kitty Wood, Cousin of Mother Roberta's and an Alumna of San Sebastian and Val. Kitty has written and illustrated a book for children, Brownie Bears' Picnic, to be published in the early Summer. Peter CMarstonJ Haddock a Kensington Alumna is coaching the girls in Jeanne D'Arc and teach- ing the Little Boys here. The following have visited Ravenhill or written to Reverend Mother during the past year: Brenda Marshall, Ann CBaerD Sheker, Rosemarie Barnhart, Antoinette Cde Brangesj Edrop, Rita Henon, Mary Faith CHenonJ Callahan, Jane CGeutingD Camp, Tessie CampsfCampins, Jea.nne CCareyJ Thomas, Barbara CCarrJ Graziani, Martha Castaneda Castro, Maureen Cavanaugh, Bee CChurchmanJ Patterson, Luisa CYoungJ Collins, Mary CBoylanJ Cook, Dorothy Danforth, Jimmy Devereux and his Mother, Edwin Daly, Artie Monigle, Diane Davies, Alice CDavisD Hulme, Isabel CDevereuxJ Elkins, Carmen Fabella, Virginia Farr, Pat Finnegan, Mary Agnes CFrankD Hagan, Pat Gallagher, Rina Gardiner, Ann CGrahamJ Jones, Alice CGodfreyJ Waters, Maureen Grenier, Adele Halcomb, Grace Kelly, Rosemarie Kerrisk, Nancy Blake, Jacquie Kline, Mary Catherine CYundtJ Minger, Anita CLopezD Lacayo, Dede CLopezJ Mejia, the Closes, Farfans, Lupe and Gloria Diez, Carmen and Maria Teresa Cervantes, Angela Llanes, Betty McGinnis, Ana Maria CMannucciJ Sarmiento, Rita Mander' field, Dr. Hortensia del Marmol, Pico CMartinJ de Mendizabal, Wally CWalshJ Maxwell, Helen CBoylanJ Nunan, Jane CKainJ Oberst, Mary Cather' ine O'Malley, Myriam Palomo, Hilda Perez, Mary Py, Dolores CHoyleJ Richardson, Kiki and Carlota Rule, Barbara Russell, Bunny CShoemakerJ Smith, Eleanor and Margaret Smythe, Mary fBromleyJ Sparhawk, Joan Walsh, Ann Bonnaifon, and Edythe CGodfreyJ Schubert, Pilar Zaldumbide, Margarita Usategui, Nancy Wade, Sister Therese of J.
