It is the pralseworthy ambition of every Sophomore girl to have the privilege of crowning Our Blessed Lady's statue with a garland of spring flowers. Miss Rosemary Conner was elected by popular vote for this high honor. On the evening of May the seventh, the Solemn Opening of Mary's Month was held. The beautiful procession of the school children was led by the crossbearer, Tony DeBon1s, The Corona- tion party consisted of the little flower girls, led by Miss Jenene Ring, who carried the banner of the Blessed Virgin. Then in colorful array, came the attendants escorting the Queen, who looked very pretty in a lovely snow-white gown. She carried a large bouquet of American Beauty Roses, which she later present- ed to Our Blessed Lady, The Loyal attendants were: the Misses Jean Werline, Beverly Connors, Julia Bucci, Phyllis Bradley, Ruth Fritz, Barbara Leavell and the Maid of Honor, Carolyn Smith. Carol Jean Robertson car- ried the Crown for Our Blessed Lady, and her little companions Rebecca Connors and Louann Hoose were train bearers to the Queen. All three little girls looked very attractive in their pretty pink gowns. The whole ceremony was very impressive, and no doubt Our Blessed Mother smiled as she looked down from heaven and blessed all who were gathered in her honor. Beverly Connors, Rosemary Conner '50 YES, YOU CAN ENJOY LITE IOBI WITH IUSIC With St. Cecilia as their patron, and 'Music Study Exalts Life' as their motto, the children of St. Joseph's School enjoy life with music. Music is one of the greatest human factors in character building., It is truly a necessity in the life of every child, for it is a fine art that speaks a universal language. Music, is indeed, a great art, but it is a science as well,. in that it requires so much accuracy, clear thinking, and keen mental adjustment. To render music artistically, a disciplined mind is absolutely necessary. The disciplinary value of music as a school subject is seen in the physical nature of the child. His emotions to which it appeals most, are lifted to respond to the higher things of life.
