The proba tionary period is rigidly observed and only candi- dates who fulfill the Daily Six faithfully are re- ceived as members. Tuesday meetings are in two sections-one for probationers. the other for members. Skits, dis- cussions, plans for active projects occupy the par- ticipants as do explanations of the Sodality rules. The earnest desire to live more holily and to help their neighbor do the same, motivates these spiritually elite of our school.

Ioan Shaw, 1952 queen, led by crown-bearer Anita Shortino and followed by train bearer Maureen Baglin, approaches the shrine to crown Our Lady as students sing hymns. The religious life of our school manifests itself outwardly each year in the Spring in one of the loveliest days of the year. The day we honor Our Blessed Lady, our May Day, gives the-entire student body a chance to show their devotion openly. Students, garbed in the characteristic academic white and red of St. Agnes' file in procession to the Lourdes shrine in the back yard and, after they have formed the living Rosary, solemnly crown the statue of Mary as Queen of their hearts and of the May. ' ' . . . to honor Our Joan Shaw crowns the statue of Our Lady. One decade of the living Rosary stands before the shrine say- ing the prayers. 48 c s 4.
