Students at Saint Agnes will long remember the lB2 claass' assembly in commemoration of the apparition at Lourdes, Agnesians joined the cast in beholding the wonder of this miracle. Pat Grafton played Our Lady and Bernadette was ably portrayed by Carol Eisele. Patriotism is expressed in many ways and in Saint Agnes we pay tribute with our weekly honor guard. We consider it a privilege to perform this act and designate it only to officers and honor society mem- bers. Here three Seniors. Irene Carrano, Lillian Tropia and Rosemarie Guerci salute the flag.

The audience that greets professional Broadway actors at their premier performance is no more avid than the over two hundred and fifty students who file into Alumnae Hall to watch Agnesians perform on stage. Caught up in the spirit, each class in turn displays its histrionic talent, each vying for the most applause. Who knows but that the first touch of grease paint felt at the Sem may be the impetus needed to launch a future Helen Hayes. Discarding serge blue uniforms for the flowing garb of the era, the Senior Class brought home the true meaning of the first Christmas with the annual Christmas Pageant. The musical accompaniment was provided by the 4AZ while the 4Al enacted H. Graham DuBois' The Perfect Gift. ' 'I- il -ze 3 T I 31: 3' A- Af- r-PKAYAK -,WL - A . .2 5 'kv ,-R955 A38 C H

Library Books are ships which pass through the vast seas of time. l,ilvraries are the homes of the worldis treasures. not material riches hut a prir-eless wealth of knowledge. The Semis third floor harbors such a home of learning and it is there that students. in their more serious moments. have passed many hours of study. Here the lfreslnnan applies her course in Library Sr-ience. and the Sophomore checks through her reading list.
