This was the ideal setting of the 1952 Spring Dance which climaxed the social activities of the year. The delightful music of Clarence Furhman's N.B.C. orchestra gave the final note to a per- fect evening. The dance, well attended by the students, alumnae, and parents, like Cinderella's famous ball. ended too soon, the music, ceased at the stroke of one, and another lovely Spring Dance was ended.

During Christmas week, we repeated some of these same carols in our traditional Carol Night program. This year the Glee Club participated again, in the Germantown Schools Festival, which is becoming an important part of Germantown week. Our Glee Club took part in a new festival, sponsored by the Student Council Association of the Catholic Academies of the Archidiocese of Philadelphia. lt was held in Town Hall and culminated the council's -activities for 1951-1952. The concert, held on May llth, at Ravenhill, was well attended and was heartily applauded. It ended a year whose success was due to the interest and enthusiasm of the members.

Marston Haddock our Dramatic Club made many important strides this year. For the first time as an organized group, headed by a board of officers, we produced not only plays, but good spirit and wonderful co-operation. lt would be difficult to say whether the audience or the players had more fun, as Mrs. Ruggles and her hilarious brood rolicked their way through the Birds' Christmas Carol. As in all Christmas plays, a touch of nostalgia was present. In this offering it was supplied by Carol, a crippled girl, played by Coeli Ryan. Our Spring production brought with it the opportunity to play 'children' again as theinimitable Mr.and Mrs. Rose, played by Sally Tiers and Mary Elizabeth Warren, shepherded their flock through all the joys and sorrows that can only beset the very young. And who will forget the touching humor of jimmy john, the adopted crippled boy, portrayed by Jeanne Joyce. All in all, the year '51- '52 has been a truly memorable one. 1Fii'i t ui is-ul..
