Friday, November 26th, 1954. Hundreds of kids and grown-ups flocked to see this Santa Claus Parade , . - in which the S. L. Band was invited to 25 participate. The band members wait- ed at the train station for the arrival 1: 0- 174 .f ll ---ti of Santa Claus and paraded him f enjoyment and delight of all. Here ' they are pictured marching down Main St., preceding Santa who, be- cause of internperate weather, had to swap his reindeer and settle for a 9, 4 A' car. ' through the streets of Biddeford to the - Sunday, November 28th, 1954. The annual Band Concert was once again a genuine success. The program included such varied selections as, William Tell Finale, Lustpiel Overture and The Emperor Waltz, calculated to satisfy all tastes. The boys in the S. L. Band have spirit and will. That explains why they were able to produce programs that remain a vibrant memory l longafter the last chords have faded from St.loseph's Hall. Monday, November 29th, 1954. Under the benevolent auspices of the French club, St.Jean Baptiste d'Amerique,all the pupils participating in extra -curricular activities were invited to attend a party. The S. L. Band was on hand to provide the proper musical atmosphere. During the evening, the boys were served an assorted, tasty lunch, while recreational facili- ties filled the other part of the evening. The 5. L. boys are most grateful to the Club St. lean Baptiste for this annual form of entertainment.

Mercredi, le 15 decembref, 1954. Apres les solennelles demonstrations qui eurent lieu dans la cathedrale de Portland, pour elever notre pasteur,Monseigneur Elie Hevey, au rang de prelat domestique, il convenait -- et ce fut un grand plaisir pour les eleves des Ecoles St. Joseph et St. Louis de se grouper autour de lui pour reconnaitre et acclamer son merite. Les voix et les coeurs furent unanimes pour ac- clamer ses qualites de pasteur, devoue, de guide eclaire et de tendre pere. La musique et lex chant modulerent tour a tour avec des accents varies la confiance, l'attachement et 1'affection que nous lui devons a ces titres. Nous formons des voeux pour que 1a paroisse St. Joseph de Biddeford jotrisse longtemps de la presence de cet apotre que le pape lui-meme a voulu reconnaitre comme tel. Ad Multos Annos Vendredi, le 17 decembre, 1954 La re'acti0n anti-commerciale, com- mencee depuis quelques annees, pour re- mettre le Christ a sa place dans la fete de Noel,a trouvedes partisans dans la personne de nos jeunes actrices. Autour de la creche, certaines s'appli- quent as dementir les faux principes d'une science athee en demontrant que la foi n'est pas contre la raison. I D'autres, en une scenette intitulee Christmas House, prouvent que le vrai esprit de Noel consiste plus a faire des heureux aux depens de sacrifices personnels parfois couteux, qu'en un froid echange de cadeaux et de cartes faites en se'rie. Le tout fut accompagne de chant, de jeux, et de musique, car l'Esprit Saint ne dit-ilpas 5ervite Domino in laetitian? La litutgie de l'Eglise elle-meme invite les chreftiens a setvir le Seigneut dans la joie. ii Thursday, December 9th, 1954. These smilingfaces are none other than the cast ofthe Senior Play and its beloved directors, Mr. and Mrs. Armand Painchaud and their helpers. The three -act comedy which they presented to the public was entitled Wi1lie's Week-End, a com- brnation of laughs, comic situations, and plenty of action. All enjoyed Willie Winkle, a semi-invalid pampered by his mother and nursed by Miss Mulli- gan. Willie is sent to a convalescent home for a week -end while his mother redecorates their home. There he meets a student nurse, Eva Wood, with whom he falls in love. Also resting at the home are four mentally-ill patients who practically drive Mrs. MacDonald, the proprietress of the home, the maid, and two other nurses out of their mind. Burglary, kidnapping, a sprained ankle, plus an engagenient combined with many other amusing and confusing, incidents drew the applause from one and all.
