We always look forward to Reverend Mother's feast and this year in the Junior School we each presented her with a little wild flower plant for the woods, besides the big gift for the school. The Dancing festival was also nice this year as besides the ballet we had added folk dances and a Maypole dance. Vll Class Ciannini, M. T. llerrasti, P. Hughes.

Cf General Interest Anyone who spoke to Mother Rose Agnes and Mother Clare joseph after their return on September 20 from a four month European sojourn caught an infectious enthusiasm for Val Notre Dame, the Valley of Our Lady, where is located the ancient abbey, the Motherhouse of the Assumption. Peace, solitude, silence - an almost tangible Presence. A place hallowed by prayer for twelve centuries. From here the Assumption spirit and life spread to all parts of the world. What a joy to be there, to meet, to know, to live in community with Our Very Reverend Mother Generalg to know such religious of the Congregation as Mother Isabel, Mother des Neiges, Mother Genevieve, Mother Madgdalena. It was a joy also to spend some time at 6 Rue Lubeck, thethriving school in Paris whose superior, Mother M. Denyse, is a spiritual dynamo. Everywhere a great difference and a great similarity - difference of language - national customs, but the same heart, the same spirit, the same charity. Only one flaw to mar the perfection of the visit - the absence of the Assistant Mother General, Rev. Mother Mary Baptiste, whose serious illness retained her in England. Mother Therese Margaret, the first Ravenhill Alumna, to be professed in the American Assumption Noviciate, pronounced her First Vows and added the title of Our Lady of Sorrows to her name, at a lovely ceremony on November 4, 1951. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Thomas McNally officiated and spoke a few words to the newly professed. The chapel was beautifully decorated with an abundance of flowers, gifts of her family and friends. Mr. and Mrs. George Duross, Mother Therese's parents, were present and two of her sisters, Mary and Georgianna, acted as bridesmaids. A reception and breakfast followed the ceremony. Dolly Hill Wins 2 Swim Crowns - May 17, 1952 Dolly Hill, Quaker City SC and 15-year- old Ravenhill Academy student, won two Senior Middle Atlantic AAU freestyle swimming championships and one backstroke title last night in a meet at the Philadelphia Navy Yard pool sponsored by Berry Brothers fArchie and Arthurj, ' Dublin, May 25 KRNSJ-Investigations are in progress in Limerick city which may lead to the canonization of Mother Therese Emmanuel, co-founder of the Congregation of the Assumption, an order of teaching mms. Mother Therese was born in Limerick in 1816 and died in 1888 after a life of extreme holiness. In 1837 she founded the Congre- gation of the Assumption, with Mother Eugenie Milleret de Brou, in France. The canonization cause of Mother Eugenie already has been opened, Msgr. Michael Moloney, pastor of St. Munchin's Church, Limerick city, has been requested by the Congregation to lead the investigations into the life of Mother Therese, The Congregation has communities all over the world. It was first established in the United States in 1919, and now serves the dioceses of Philadelphia and St. Augus- tine, F la. FIRST VOWS Reverend Philip A. Donahue officiated at a ceremony of First Vows on the Octave Day of the Sacred Heart, june 27. The newly professed are Mother Margaret Frances of the Most Pure Heart of Mary and Mother Katherine Mary of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Their parents and many friends attended the ceremony. Reverend john O'Connor preached the sermon. In june 1952, Ravenhill lost in death a devoted and dear friend, Reverend Edward Allen, pastor of St. Bridget's Church. Every- one at Ravenhill knew and counted on his unfailing kindness. The name of Father Allen will always be remembered in prayer at Ravenhill. One of Ravenhill's oldest and most beloved friends, the Reverend S. M. Burgio celebrated the twenty-five anniversary of his priestly ordination. The Community, faculty, and children of Ravenhill joined in felicitations and prayers for the occasion. The month of May brought a welcome but hurried visit of Miss Mary Ann Zarine, a recent old pupil of the Assumption, Kensington and Exton in England. Ann Marie's mother wasa pupil of the Assumption at6 Rue Lubeclt, Paris. Her father, former ambassador to England from Latvia, is still ambassador of his government in exile. He and his daughter are en route to visit Latvian colonies in the U.S. and Canada.
