Sophomores say the Rosary at the Lourdes shrine: ifrant rowl Barbara Horwath, Julie Bonacci and Deanna Gears. lBack fowl Arlene DePas- quale, Lucille Fanara and Maureen Stratton. Feast days and fast days have special significance when they are observed as part of your everyday school life. And when shrines and statues and lovely pic- tured reminders are all about you it is not hard to remember to pray and increase your devotions in honor of Our Lady and the Saints. Every day finds girls in the Chapel or, in fine weather, at the shrine in the backyard. Religion becomes more than just a course of study, it is a way of life. Knowing how to say the Dolor Ros- ary helps in devotion to our Lady of Sorrows, .ludy Ryan, Mary Ellen Sweeney, Jane Hamaleinen and Ann St. Maurice make sure of the dolors on their rosary. Maps of modern Israel and the Dead Sea in the National Geographic look different from religion book Maps. Freshmen religion students check the two. Lucia Castronova, Donna Spiegel and Frances Folwell fstandingl look over Patricia Fender's shoulder.

F? and comment from Sophomores zanne Uhl, Patricia Weinhart loran. f Q . . . of ENGLISH for HHN? The newspaper yields music news of inter- est to Shakespeare students: Rosanne Mattern, Connie Kondolf, Betty Schwind and Shirley Preiss. 18 the magic world of penned beauty il' opens to us . . . The whole teaching of English is based upon the desire and the need to master the skills needed in the art of communi- cation. There is a keen realization that the treasures of the world's finest thought have been caught in literaturehand only to those who know how to find these written gems and to interpret them once they have been found can the thoughts be revealed.
