TIME our The most welcome of all activities are our socials. This delightful afternoon function usually begins at l :00 P. M. with a variety of entertainment in the audi- torium given by the class sponsoring the social. When the entertainment is over the students assemble in the ly- ceum for dancing. Before d a n c i n g com- mences all gather before the shrine of our Blessed Mother for the dedication. Dancing then begins and continues until 5:00 P. M. During an intermission luncheon is served. This happy commingling of all students from all the classes allows the student body to become better acquainted with one another. 41 oUR PATRON, oUR QUEEN, oUR MOTHER . Adorned with flowers, Our Blessed Mother is always present at our so- cial events. VVhen the student body enters the dance floor they notice her smile as she stands in statuesque form. She overlooks the happy group during the entire afternoon. Thus the title Mary Queen of So- cial Life has been bestowed upon her, and every social held is dedi- cated to her Our Mother . O DANCING ON A CLOUD! A dream of dreams! Our seniors and juniors were tripping the light fantastic on April 18, 1945. This rare occasion took place at Hotel Henry in the beautiful Playhouse Ballroom. Gayly attired in semiformal en- semble, they began at 9:00 P. M. to enjoy a delightful evening of danc- ing until l2:00 P. M. Furnishing heavenly music was Jimmie McKean and his orchestra. A full course turkey dinner was served. g l

STUDENT COUNCIL In order to promote interest and procure the most capable officers for the year of 1944-45, the students grouped into three parties, namely, the Big Deal, Can-Do and P. I. P. fPupils Interest Partyj . After a week of campaign speeching, exhibiting posters and the final election, the installation of officers took place in the auditorium in the presence of the student body, October 24, 1944. Each Student Council ofiicer and representative pledged his loyalty in the presence of the Blessed Moth- er to do his duty to the best of his ability and to make St. Michael High School a bigger and better school. The Student Council undertook to raise the necessary funds for Federations fees and the Red Cross by sponsoring inter-class games. The splendid farewell party for Mr. Howard Ruppen and the victory party for the girls' varsity were undertaken. Sister M. Aelred is the adviser. OUR LADY OF FATIMA You must pray the Rosary and pray it properly. These were the words Our Blessed Mother spoke as she appeared to the children in Fatima. They were the spur behind the assembly given by the Catholic Action Club, November 3. The Catholic Action Council and the other members of the high school put these words into effect as a result of a playlet Our Lady of Fatima . This gave the students an impressive picture of what really happened. Our Lady of Fatima promised, that if we pray the Rosary and pray it properly, God would be merciful to mankind and spare them from many scourges. The Rosary is a power- ful instrument for good. Our Director, Father Walter gave a very inspiring address on the rosary devotion. CATHOLIC ACTION During the course of the school term the Catholic Action Club sponsored several major undertakings. It aided the missionaries by collecting canceled stamps, by giving donations and by saying special prayers. Since the purpose of this club is to make Christ and Mary better known, it carried out its purpose well by establishing the Immaculate Heart Saturday and having Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. to speak to the student body on the Family Rosary. Father Peyton's talk inspired us all to live our daily lives doing Catho- lic action, particularly, by saying the Family Rosary. RED FEATHER PROGRAM Through the patronage of the Gavel Honor Society and the senior class the Red Feather Program set forth the purpose and services of the Community Fund. Going Our Way was the theme of the assembly. The standing members delivered speeches urging the student body to contribute for the good of less fortu- nate humanity. Pearl Chronowiat took charge of an acrostic given by the seated members. Parodies on favor- ite popular songs interspersed the program and gave zest to the undertaking. Marian Fritz acted as chairman. 43
