r 'Oi' K Cf0i'Y J 2912692 pfzefim . Here at Seton we have been riding on the Victory Xvagonl' side by side with our mothers and fathers to help in the program for Civilian Defense. The ac- tivities were promoted by a Victory Rally held by the seniors who urged all to pledge ri day of each week as a sacrifice day for purchasing defense stamps. The seniors themselves pledged their class gift to the school 15300, to buy Whr Bonds. A Courses in Home Nursing and First Aid were offfered to juniors and seniors in preparing them for civilian work in time of need. In selecting prizes for the boosters of the Seton-Light this year, the editors remembered Pearl Harbor and gave Defense Stamps as rewards. Any stamps to-day?

tene Mmm .gQ4nz'5A LF, CERCLE JEANNE D'ARC Presents Christmas Program Le Cercle Jeanne d'Arc abandoned pencils and books to wish the faculty a Joyeux Noel at an all French Christmas program, December 15, in the Rec Hall. The second year French students presented an old French legend, Le Miracle. ln keeping with most legends about Saint Nickolas, this is the story ofthe good saint,s rescue of his choir- boys from a cruel butcher. As their contribution to the program, the first year French students made Christmas cards bearing greetings in French. These they presented to each member of the faculty as well as to the students in the club. The program closed with the familiar carols, HVoici Noelf, Nouvelle Agreeablel' and Il est ne Le Devin Enfantf 14 an--Qmezicdnm La session se abre, opened the first meeting of Las Pan-Americanas de Seton Hill , Feb- ruary l3. The Club held an ol?-campus luncheon at the Modern Tea Room in honor of their teacher, Miss Joquay. Vilriting Spanish plays, singing Spanish songs, studying customs of Spanish people constitute the activities of this new-born club. Now that we Americans must be more Spanish minded during this war-time, it is the sincere hope of the members of this club that the future students will carry on the tra- ditions and activities of Las Pan-Americanas de Seton.
