I 4 TH19 50 ST ' nM-.m.E ..::.mf.-. -Lie-if-s?2,..,n1n-.. if-lm., -.-in - THE MISSION AST FALL, for a period of two weeks, St. Bernard Church was the scene of ardent religious activity. A mission, the first in a number of years, was conducted by Reverend Fathers Walker, McGrath, and Blessington, of the Augustinian Order. Two Masses at which the majority of the congregation were in attendance, were celebrated daily. At the conclusion of each Mass, an instruction on the Commandments was given. These little talks were short, seldom more than half an hour in duration, but they contributed much toward our better under- standing of the Precepts of God. In the evening the course of events was the recitation of the Rosary, Bene- diction of the Blessed Sacrament, and a direct, forceful, inspiring sermon. These addresses, I believe, were the highlights of the Mission. Plain, em- phatic, and straight from the shoulderf' I think that all of us found them applicable to our own lives. As all things eventually pass, so the Mission came to a close. On Sunday night, two weeks after the opening, the Mission was concluded. With lighted candles held aloft, we made a solemn renewal of our baptismal promises-an appropriate climax for such an event. JOHN LEONARD Eighty-one

Her excellent team work and fighting spirit have helped to build up the team. Her shooting ability has many times put St. Bernard's on the long end of a score. Marie is an okay forward and she will certainly be missed in next year's line-up. JANE ROCHE Jane has been a Varsity member for two years and has proved her worth many times. Her accurate pass work and ability to get the ball to the forwards have made her a first-rate side center. Jane has helped to win many gametsi and whoever takes her place will have to work to live up to Jane's recor . MADELINE KNORR Mad has just this year started playing on the Varsity. She makes not only a good forward but she is also a quick and go-getting side-center. Her ability to intercept passes and her useof the pivot make her a valuable mem- ber of the team. When we see her play, we wonder why she did not come out before, and we wish that she could help the team during coming seasons. Margaret Lyons MARGARET LYONS Margaret embodies all the qualities that a good guard needs-speed and aggressiveness. She is one of the best guards St. Bernard's has had. Her determined efforts have stopped many shots from going into the basket. She has showed us what she can do in athletics, and her place will be hard to fill next year. Editor's Remarks ATHLETIC AWARDS The records of Mary Elizabeth Brown, Marie Villott, Jane Roche, Pauline MacMaster, and Margaret Lyons speak for the ability of these veteran Varsity players. The smoothness with which they worked together produced results and reflected glory on their School and on their Coach. As a token of appreci- ation, these girls were awarded GOLD BASKETBALLS.
