LSSLOVI Care 8 f ft . . . . 5 f AR and near, in all the corners of the earth, the missioners are laboring CF patiently. Nobody pins a medal on them, in many cases their work is not even known. It was with this thought that we Seniors set out on the road of becoming mission-minded. Maureen Ryan, Evelyn Malone, Mary Carr, Marie Breheny and Dorothy Emanuel were chosen as mission leaders. Our first lift along the road was an inspirational talk by Father Jeffers, Assistant Director of the Propagation of the Faith. In the second term it was our privilege to hear Father Hofstee whose talk and motion picture slides made us more conscious of the mission work in India. Later in the year it was our great joy to dress a little girl for the day when she would receive our dear Lord in Holy Communion. The first Friday was our special mission day for then we had planned pro- grams. Each group took its turn in trying to inculcate among the Seniors greater interest in the missions. On this day, too, we made our contributions which have surpassed all records for Seniors. Then, too, if you were to peek into the corner desk at any time, you would see our stamps growing by leaps and bounds until soon we will be able to build an altar with them. Now, as the year draws to a close, we have one hope-that the Class will remain forever mission-minded. DOROTHY EMANUEL. 110

State Tournament that Barnabas acquired five new ribbons for the trophy room. The Catholic Church and the Isms provided our Panel Discussions with per- plexing reflections. Prize Dayv was inaugurated by our beloved Sister Turibius to the delight and appreciation of the entire student body. Ascending the rank of Seniors we left past glories behind and launched out to maintain what We had so ably achieved. At the beginning of the season We did ourselves honor in both the American Legion and the Iourrzal-Armricafz oratorical contests. From there we won debates left and right, at Poughkeepsie, Peekskill and Xavier. It was at this time that we received an invitation from Fordham to be guests at their formal night debate. Our Panel Discussion on April 12th promises to be traditionally successful. The members of our Debating Society have been loyal and have given of their time unsparingly. To those who will carry on, We entreat you Uphold the standards of Saint Barnabas Debating Society. ANITA BERNICE CIPRIANI. Jfldemla 1 MDUTSTANDING among the Debating Society members for her particu- ' larly exceptional oratorical skill has been Bernice Cipriani. For the past three years Bernice has been bringing honor to herself and to Saint Barnabas through her remarkable talent. This year has been no exception. Becauseof her speech in the American Legion Contest, Bernice was invited to become a member of the Red Cross Speakers' Bureau and as such gave an address on the radio. Then came the annual journal-Amc1'ica11 Contest and once again, wich the enthusiastic support, she achieved remarkable success. No account of the Activities of the Saint Barnabas Debating Society of 1944-45 would be com- plete without mention of Bernice and her achievements. We are justly proud of her' MARY ELIZABETH PENCE. 109
