Despite the gradual appearance of many athletically- satisfying sports in the program of Saint Agnes, basket- ball still reigns as the 'Afavored first among the students. This year, basketball dominated the hardwood dur- ing the weekly gym period for a period of two and one- half months allowing all students a beneficial outlet for pent-up energy. Being a keenly competitive sport, basketball games were frequently played with outside schools though the program was seriously hampered by the hard winter weather.

Carmel of Auburn, and Notre Dame of Elmira, as well as the vicinity schools. However, an almost keener competition existed in playful scrimmages between homeroom and homeroom. class and class. But, although defeat was always sustained by half of the players, the development of good sportsman- ship and first-rate promotion of school spirit by both players and rooters has been the happy result.

By heeding and prac- ticing this short statement we are able to turn the simplest act of supporting and attending school as- semblies and functions into a prayer. We are grateful for all the activities involved in Student Life because of the many opportunities they afford us: opportunities not only to become better acquainted with our classmates at Saint Agnes but with students of other schools as well: opportunities for association between faculty and students outside of the classroom: opportunities to learn and grow in spiritual pursuits as well as cultural: opportunities simply in all things to give thanks.
