MOTHER of DIVINE GRACE, to you | a ue 3 a oun we dedicate our BERNARDIAN: of a | : And the angel said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee .... Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. ‘ 7 Luke 1.28.30 May it give greater glory to your Divine Son — and draw us ever closer to Him! What is this grace of which the angel spoke to Mary? Webster's dictionary says that grace is the un- merited favor and love of God toward man. Our religion books define grace as a supernatural gift of God bestowed on us for our salvation. All that we have—our very existence, our natural powers, the good things of life—are God's gifts to us, or graces and favors received from Him. But far exceeding all these natural gifts, and through the goodness and love of God for us, we have been called to a supernatural end, a destiny out of all pro- portion to our human nature and which we could never attain by our own natural powers. God, our loving Father, made us to be happy with Him in heaven for all eternity, and He furnishes the means, His Divine Grace, by which we may fulfill this lofty purpose for which we were made. What did Mary, the little teen-ager of Nazareth, do, to merit such an abundance of graces that she should be chosen to be the Mother of God? In the eyes of the world she was a nobody, living a most commonplace life—a drab, colorless existence without glamour or publicity. But in the eyes of God, she was the loveliest of His creatures. It was in and for God that Mary lived and per- formed every duty, no matter how small and trivial. God's life in her was a reality and her soul was truly His temple in which He dwelt and operated. Cornelia Hayes é od’s ¢ Great Gift to Us— His Divine Grace heme of 1956 BERNARDIAN After St. Bernard had made the statement that all good owes everything to God's grace, one of his monks asked him, If grace does everything, what will be our reward, where our merits? To this St. Bernard replied, in the words of St. Paul: God has saved us by His grace, and not by works of justice, which we have done.'' He also quoted the words of Jesus, You can do nothing without Me. To answer more completely the question of what becomes of our free will and our merit, Bernard wrote a treatise upon ''G race and Free Will,’ in which he said that every good action supposes the cooperation of our free will with divine grace. Our wl must be free to accept or reject God's ly action performed without this free and rain i | consent of our will is without merit, re- Rita Cunha William Weatherby Raymond Banville Virginia Grey Patricia Magane Raymond Vaillancourt Gerald LeBlanc Renneth Bonner Anton Morin Judith McDermott William Kiniry Agatha Marabello Frosh and Soph Memories Six portables were our classrooms during our Frosh days.

PF casemate nena SAP tia St { ; ; : 5 { ; The glory which Thou hast given Me, | have given to them: that they may be one, as We also are one.” John xvii: 22 ‘A soul in the state of grace has been compared by St. Basil to a crystal ball exposed to the sun. The rays of the sun make the ball radiant and another sun sending out around it both light and heat. This is what grace does for us when God, the Divine God, shines upon us, making us tesemble Him and making us also centers of grace for others. Because we are members of the Mystical Body of Christ, His Church, we are united by a common bond, with Christ as our Head. Because of this Christian solidarity, the words of St. Paul should be applicable to us: If one member suffer anything, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory all the members rejoice with it. | Cor. xii: 26. We should, in this spirit, be grieved at the misfortunes of our neighbor and do all in our power to console and encourage him. On the other hand, we should be glad at his good fortune and give thanks to God for it. Because we are one great family as children of God, we cannot do good or evil without having it affect our brethren, near and far. Countless souls rofit by all the good we do, and likewise are harmed by the evil we do. By living a life pleasing to God, may we be centers of grace for others and draw them ever closer to Him!

Sir, if th ou hast removed Him, tell me where thou hast laid Him, and | will take Him away. John xx: 15 as Christ, St. Bernard has written of Mary Magdalen's visit to the tomb and her failure to recognize the Risen Christ in the Gardener, who speaks to her thus: Why do you weep? Whom do you seek? You seek Him without but you have Him within you .. . Tell Me what is there closer to anyone than his heart? Those who find Me, find Me in their hearts: there is my dwelling.” We are really temples of the Holy Spirit. We have within us Him, compared to Whom the whole universe is but a nothing. Yet, sad to say, it is toward this nothingness that our thoughts and affections turn, for- getting the God within us and leaving Him alone. As the House of God is a place of prayer and sacri- fice, we must not only lift up our minds and hearts to God in prayer but also sacrifice to Him everything in _us that displeases Him and keeps Him from giving us His gracés more abundantly.

Chap. 1 Tim. 1:17 Period t, Religion IV, in Rooms 21, 25, and 34 is a pleasant period. Our Religion is one of joy and happiness. Sadness, touchiness, moodiness, and ill-humor are not of God but of the evil spirit and are a source of much sin. St. Paul exhorts us to rejoice in God and we should endeavor always to preserve a cheerful spirit even when affected by the troublous reverses of everyday life. Every little self-conquest increases our love of God and results in fresh joy and fresh zeal in His service. May we understand better how to get happiness out of little things and to appreciate the simple pleasures which are daily presented to us!

Happy Anniversary The Catholic Youth Council, formed by Bishop John J. Wright, celebrates its first anniversary this month. In a year’s time membership in the Council numbers 14,000. The SSCA, sponsored by the youth of the diocese, was a tremendous success. It was a positive proof that the Council is prospering both spiritually and physically. We congratulate all the youth of the diocese for their splendid work and hope that the new high school division will be a success too. That depends on YOU, Bernardians.

The next day, Ellen, Marie Ber- mingham, Charlie, David Blais, and Callie, Ita Nally, read of a lone female spy sighted flying over Mexico. Lizzie, Cather- ine Mace, and Aggie, Betty Bourque, are dumbfounded. Tish, Sharon Latham, prevents the get- away of the thief, Denby Grimes, Patrick Donelan, and his accomplice, Joyce Kotow- ski. In our senior play, “Tish”, an energetic middle-aged spinster and her best friends, Lizzie and Aggie, start off in a second- hand car to get closer to nature and to “lead the simpler life.” But from the time they arrive at The Eagle Hotel, near the Mexican border, things begin to hum. Ellen, Elaine San Clemente, reassures Lizzie, Betty Robideau, and Aggie, Bette Berlo, that Charita, Madeline Joseph, will not harm them. Charlie, Tish’s nephew, Robert Cormier, stands by amused. Tish defies hard-hearted Luther Hopkins, Andre Gelinas, to get out of his hotel. Ellen, Charlie, and Charita, Rachelle Chapdelaine, admire Tish’s brave stand. Aggie and Lizzie from behind the curtains hear the quarrel be- tween Bettina, Cornelia Hayes, and Andrews, Roger Cormier. Charlie and Aunt Tish, Barbara Ciccolini, and the sheriff, Bill Ken- nedy, cover the villain who snarls at Dorice, Valerie Cohen, that their capture is all her fault. +. Although TISH, our class play, from first to last was a rollicking comedy, three unforeseen events occurred which almost turned it into a mad tragedy: First, when Andre, our class president and heartless villain in the play, was hospitalized and was convalescing on the night of the play, a Sunday. Second, when Sharon, as Tish, dramatically points the long rifle at Hopkins, only to have it fall apart and laughter from cast and audience loudly begins. Third, when a wrong cue confuses the cast and ten pages or so are skipped, but cleverly we added another act and cleared up the part that was missed. Callie, Ellen Powers, and Ellen fear for Tish when Hopkins, Mario Ciuffetti, threatens to strike her. Patrick Donelan, Elaine Char- ron, and Charlotte Roy take over stage properties. The lovers, Bettina and An- drews, Frank Barba, have made up, much to the disgust of Aggie and Lizzie, who still believe him to be a villain. Sheriff Lem Pike, James Stan- ley, has fallen in love with Lizzie, who rejects him. reli Fob debts 5 + Soden teenetjonnd tenteinon aetna b pneraemmentiel egitim mam “Daughter of God, you must leave your village and make your way into France.

Seach asm In Joan of Arc were truly verified the words of St. Paul: “I can do all things in Him who strengthens aa me.” The seemingly impossible—a girl in her teens becoming a saint in. a soldiers’ camp—was made possible by the grace of God and Joan’s cooperation with that grace. For Joan, the doing of God’s will meant leaving her home to live the hard life of the soldier and finally, after 15 months of glorious military victories, to be ridiculed, imprisoned, tortured, and burned to death. But to the last Joan’s trust in God never wavered. Neither was there any bitterness toward those who accused her of being a heretic and a traitor. Rather it was she who asked forgiveness for any harm she may have done to anyone. A shreik of pain burst from Joan as the fire first touched her body and the piercing cry of “Jesus’’ was heard as her body fell into the flames. “Lady of Fatima” was successfully staged before large audiences in SBHS auditorium on November 21 and 22.

Ask Sister to call us DAHLIN and DEARden; And may exams be taken with our book open. _ On the top of our school for all to see, How about a vane instead of a WEATHERBY? foes Pansve us, dear Santa, for wanting to LYNCH The fellow who insists that U.S. is a cinch. : And that a athlete Fred is a tenderfoot PERCY, For all such, we're sorry, we'll have no merey: Cant t we have a Roebuck to go with our SEARS, nd every day bright and GUAY without fears? _ May our SMITH never know what it is to have BU RNS; ye A ad our CAMPBELL i in his soup never find any ferns! When our FISCHER takes off with tackle and bait, May there be no HAYES to slacken her lively gait! Instead of our L'ABBE liking to be near HOLDEN, Can't he be in BANVILLE to talk to more often? For our Mc's—DONALD and his BRIDE fair of face, You might give a LEGER but never, never a MACE. Our GALLI twins would like a boat to RHEAULT Down the NILES placid waters with no undertow. Gerald would like to travel to the Italian borderline, And there, Mount BLANC, highest of the Alps, to c limb. Little Jacqueline would like a trip to RHEAUME, But HOULE take her o'er the ocean's white foam? A plane like the ‘Spirit of ST. LOUIS,’ Johnny would like; | And Elaine wants a nice, long PLUME to adorn her new bike. To our twins, Bob and Larry, give a COTE of many colors, Such as Jacob gave to son Joseph but not to his brothers. Don't give Eddie another copy of Poor RICHARDS Almanac”, For of such wise sayings of Ben Franklin he has no lack. May the singing POWERS of the great CARUSO, Accompany our Glee Club wherever they go! A shop for our BARBA, for our ASHBY a nice state road: c ee A last request—May YOUNG we ever be and never too old! Thank you, Dear Santa, for being so generous and. good, We'll always try to be the best Bernardians we should. ERE we depart from SBHS we wish to bequeath to '57 not our fountainpens, But the following bits of wisdom culled from OUR noble senior cognomens. We have gone from A—Abrams through Z—Zarrella and found RAMS and ELLA; But Crisci yielded only IS; Morin and. Raboin, IN; and Magane, only a MA. “Note that we have a CIUFFETTI but no:confetti; a VIGNEAULT, but no beano; A VEZ, but no Turkish fez; a MORAN or two, but as for having a moron, No! Don't judge our good looks by these pictures when only sophs were we, _ For with the passing of the years, we have grown in wisdom and beauty. Know that a COL is’a mountain pass and that GIN is short for engine; And that an EEL is a fish; a CORM, a’ stem, and DERM, signifies skin. ” Recall that A CONN. Yankee at King Arthur's COURT was written by Twain; ' And that the Book of KELLs was the work of Irish monks and not of Dane. Take a lesson from the HEN and never count your chicks until hatched; And LET a gum-chewer beware that a CUD-chewing cow and he be matched. Don't believe the ARAB tale that the ROC bird could lift an elephani, Or that:CinderELLA married a princely CHAP and not a ROYal attendant. Among fish stories, did you.ever hear one about a LING ora CHAR, Or the LEG of mutton so big that the oven door had to be kept ajar. Know that in old pagan lore FREY was god of peace and prosperity, ’ But that the Ealaiag of the elves worked mischief even to the baby. a lf-we lived in Bonnie Sectland; we might say | KEN in our talk, “And to HIE one's way to. the RIVA, or to the cleft in the rock. . lf in France we abode we would often say MERCI and for water, EAU; ‘Or if i in ‘taly, we would know that a river of the north was the PO. When contemplating a iit to DEL., compare the COST by CAR or BUS, And get a moving VAN, preferably TAN, to convey goods so. precious. When SBHS reunions. come around, now and then, be like OLE Black Joe, ane And tell us you're CUMMING even though your funds may be rather low. a Don't be downcast if no sun, appanis on the day you become a BRIDE, ‘Or when cooking, your dessert does. not GEL after you tried and tried. ‘luck will not. Pe yours if no FOUR-leaf clovers you find i in. Moy. re and hear and scéapt as the ‘gospol truth, HEBE, cupbearer of the, gods, could restore youth. tof iy at the END of the rainbow, there may be, ‘ q anne and, S peerely face truth and reality. Never forget that to ERR is very human and to baie is diving, re And that seeking the good and not the BAD is a good moral sign. Never speak ILL of anyone, even though your greatest enemy, © — Forgive and forget and so pass high in the TEST of charity.. When all aGOG to tell a bit of news and to say, “aHA, | told you so, Reflect on the harm you may do and. with GRIM determination say No! Respect man's good name and never ROB him of it or call him RUBE or HAM, By refraining from such like aspersions you will keep out of many a jam. | Remember that a task well begun is close to being half DONE, so ) they say; And that a. big broad smile will IRON the wrinkles of your troubles away. When school days are o'er and books no longer to class are brought, © Continue to educate yourself and thus prevent bad mental dry ROT. If the child is not to be spoiled, then the ROD you must not spare; Taking correction well, for life's hard knocks he will thus prePARE. A MOUTH we have with lips and teeth to keep OUR tongue in place, But often like a runaway horse it gallops away at a rapid pace. Aim higher than to be a BEAU Brummel or a glamorous BELLe, For employers look for more than this in their personnel. ° To merit being called an ACE, a combat pilot we need not be;: But in all that we DO, try to excel even though not 80 easy. Be as ceorseuie fa: poor men.in ‘working blue JEANs as to the RICH, | Whether you greet them in fashionable SALON or in digging a ditch: | Like laborers in the vineyard let us toil. in the world's busy MART, Working for God and not just for the day’ s wages with ALL our heart. | Do not be ensnared in the NET of sin by the wiles of the evil spirit, Or ever be his ALLY when he seeks to entrap souls to cast into the pith When jealousy, pride, and envy into your mind try to advance, Remember SAUL and how David he would have killed with a LANCE. | With a CORD we TIE down a bird and Leip it from soaring up to the SKY, So in our LAND in this ERA, materialism keeps us from ascending ON high. A SKI TOW makes it easy for us to ascend to the top, if on it we rely, � So in climbing the besvenly trail, God will give us Grace, if we but try. At the time of the Deluge no man could be saved unless’in 1 Noah's ARK, So we likewise our souls cannot save unless sheltered in Peter's Bark. _ God's in His heaven—ALL's right with the world,’ is philosophy sound, _ And life, a broken ARC on the earth, in heaven will eg a perfect round. May we ever keep close to good St.’ ANNE and Mary, her lovely child, Who are was and ever will be so CLEMENT, pouty ‘sweet, and, mild! “good seed has arth seamed fruit alone. . is that we ‘aay: ate our own i hes will: reject that grace, And choose jot the good but the evil and sinful: pleasures ignoble and base. As God. aves nbueaions': us ‘anal first from « our lives we cast Him and His law, our prayer. be that He at never r dessert us and. from us forever withdraw! = bea + ‘
