U nited Action C ooperative . Living H armony , Leisure time activities have one t main purpose, to train for coopera- tive living by giving opportunities for united action in various pas- times, games and sports. The im- t' portance of cooperation and har- mony is especially seen in the dis- rupted, uncertain conditions of so- ciety at large today.

Social Development Fuller Living The ceremony of Ring-Day, with its symbolic pledge of fideli- ty and loyalty to our Alma Ma- ter, was one of the highlights of the senior year. Presented in a most elaborate style by the Juniors, it was joyful, yet tinged with sorrow at the thought that we would soon be leaving this school. When memory grows hazy in recalling the past events of our high school days, one glance at the class ring, will bring back floods of happy reminiscences from that joyful Ring-Day morn. Then we will recall the feeling of elation and joy as it was flrst blessed and placed upon our fin- ger by Father V. Dominas. The inspiring words of Father Van Szymanski, our toast-master at this occasion, will again awaken those hopes and dreams that were locked within each of our hearts on that day. Smiling eyes and happy laughter re- flected the joys of the pleased seniors as they were feted by the juniors at their Ring-Day Breakfast. In the lower picture is featured some of the dancing which followed the Ring Day Breakfast. Gerry Parpart and Bob Gulvas are nearest to the camera. Father Van, the toastmaster for the occasion, is congratulating the cele- brants. Father Dominas is placing the cIass ring on the finger of Rose Mary Slowinski.
