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.

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.

This really isn't a bad picture, although at a quick glance. you'd think the photographer didn't know what he was doing. The story behind it is that the Freshman Music Class was delving into musical back- grounds through the medium of the motion picture screen.

'fllusic makes the world go round, -or is it the record turntable that goes around? At any rate. students in the Music Appreciation classes were given ample opportunity to delve into the infinite world of this greatest of all arts. Topics such as the merits of Symphony Conductor Leonard Bernstein or the tem- permental tiliis of diva Maria Callas triggered lively cultural discussions. Recordings made by opera greats and ballet mas- ters were the impetus behind group excursions to the Metro- politan Opera House to see ballet presentations of Swan Lake. Peter and 'l'l1e Wiolf.
