aw Q, 'P Qetneat . . . a time 06 peace amd pnagen. Prevailing throughout the day, this spirit is ob- viously evident in the prayers of adoration, contri- 5-I xi! tion, thanksgiving, and petition offered by each individual in the form of mental prayer, spiritual reading and contrite confession. Furthermore, this retreat spirit is certainly strengthened by the daily following of the sorrowful stations of the cross, is definitely increased through the enlightening talks delivered by the retreat master, and is finally cli- maxed in the solemn ceremony of Benediction. The silence. the concentrated listening and the effort at sincere prayer are difficult, and yet the sense of joy at the end of a Retreat well-made is like no other happiness we find at St. Agnes. ,M six RETREAT BRINGS A TIME OF PEACE AND QUIET TO THE STUDENTS.

AFTER THE CLOSE OF RETREAT. Salvatrice Luc- chesi and Diane Hauck were able to corner Father Bernier and get some more of his right-to-the point comments. In sharp contrast with the other school days of the year, silence reigns unbroken on the second, third. and fourth days of Holy Week at Saint Agnes. Retreat, with all its solemnity, is the reason for this mass silence prevailing throughout the school. These three days set aside signify a departure from the customary whirl of classes, cokes and conver- sation, and the entrance into the sole concentration on a strictly spiritual inventory of the past year and a few firm resolutions for the future. Consequently. these three days are not commenced with a piercing bell for first period class, but rather with a more subtle summons to the sublime Sacrifice of the Mass. where the entire school becomes imbued with the serious, but serene spirit of retreat. FATHER ALBERT SHAMON OF ST. ANDREWS SEMINARY led the Freshmen along the intricate path of their First Retreat. The excellent spirit of the girls enabled them to profit much from Father's wise and witty words. IN THE 1957 RETREAT the upperclassmen were privileged to have Father loseph Bernier of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers, for their retreat master. Many a laugh mixed with much to think about made Father's retreat formula very popular with the retreatants. images . ,,f.,fea,wf 1 m

Where Gypsy feet are marching, the drums of time beat slow. For the capacity audience in our auditorium, time stood still on the evening of November 25, as the Gypsy feet of the tribe of Haaren marched across the stage. It was another in our series of firsts . The Gypsy Troubadourn was presented by the Glee Club under the direction of Sister Ioseph Eileen and with the dramatics supervised by Sister Evelyn. Nikoli, son of Todoro, the ruler of the gypsy tribe. returns from college and announces that he wishes to relinquish his right to rule the tribe. Todoro's scheming nephew Vario is pleased because he will then rule the tribe. Complications and accusa- tions intensify the plot, but everything is resolved by Marko who is a very remarkable man .
