Every second Monday of the month, the mothers of St. Agnes' girls can justifiably be excused from a few of their household chores, so that they may join in the fun and work which the Mothers' Club meetings provide. Throughout the year, a variety of entertainment is planned for the members, including the Mother- Daughter Christmas party, the April card party, and even a 'ichapeauxw fashion show sponsored by the Marks' Hat Shop. ln May, the Mother- Daughter Communion breakfast was held with guest speaker Father Iohn Havas, SJ, Besides these events, our busy mothers had a White Elephant Sale in Ianuary and a Red Cross Work meeting in March. Of course, a meeting wouldn't be complete with- out refreshments, so a delicious lunch and bubbling conversation always rounded off each meeting. MOTHERS' CLUB OFFICERS, Mrs. Ioseph Ryan, Mrs. Marie Ritz, Mrs. Raymond Weis, and Mrs. Paul Gears were planning to step out for a Club-sponsored Fashion Show at Sibley's in Southtown Plaza in March.

Christmas time was filled with frosty snowflakes, ringing bells and excited, busy Seniors. They were preparing for Candy Cane Cotillion -- the very first Senior-Alumnae Dance. See- ing the old Seniors again was one of the happiest moments of that Decem- ber evening. Lacy Valentine mobiles and flaming red hearts disguised the gym on Febru- ary 6th when the Student Council pre- sented Hearts in Harmony -- the annual Valentine Dance. Spot dances and a dancing contest judged by Radio and TV Announcer, Eddie Meath, were the high-lights of the occasion. EDDIE MEATH of WHEC-TV crowned Sophomore Ann Ledoux as Queen of the Valentine Dance after she and Terry Baumer had topped runners-up Sandra Shatzel and Denny Owen in the Dance Contest. ON THAT DAY AFTER the night before, untangling fish nets was much less elegant than dancing among them in the setting of South Pacific - the theme of the Iunior Prom! But it's almost as much fun. as these cleaner-uppers could tell you. The magical spell of Bali Ha'i de- scended upon St. Agnes in April at the Iunior Prom, Some Enchanted ,Even- ing.
