B.S.F. Uuiz Prograni On I Speak Good English Day, everyone was on her best English usage behavior in order to win as many tags as she could for her class. At activity, a spelling bee was held in which the seniors were found to be tops. The day was presented by the C.S.F. Advent Program With the help of Sisters Bridget of Mary and Maria Beata, an Advent spectacular was presented on De- cember 18, 1957. As the house lights dimmed, music played and Diane Zennie gave an explanatory pro- logue. On the stage, we saw the empty creche awaiting the coming Saviour. In succession, the officers of each class carrying figures for the stable, proceeded up the aisles to the stage. Thus the four classes depicted the passing of the four weeks of Advent. Meanwhile, rep' resentatives of all classes led Advent prayers. So ended Act I. Act ll began with another explanatory prologue on the Great Antiphons. Next, came the hymn 'Veni, Veni, Emmanuel. The Antiphons themselves were presented in a unique way. On the stage, Angels, appearing over the world, held scrolls illuminated with symbolic illu- strations of each of the Antiphons. After chanters sang the prayer to a psalm tone, a meditation was read for each one. Thus we began our Christmas holidays, with the prayers of the joyfully expectant Church. Our vaca- tions were happier since they had had a holy begin- ning.
