zsszon activities Students at St Mary were privileged to hear a stim ulating account of the work of the Sisters of Charity in T fs. China from Sister Marie Amadea February l8 This gave fresh impetus to class room drives for funds which were augmented by rattles of every discription and cli maxed by a paper drive for the missions Saving canceled stamps is a fine in- expensive mission project. Celts collected over 40 OOO stamps in the course of the year for the Jesuits Patna lndia mission. William Shearer and Lois Hoard inspect the Chinese handiwork displayed by Sister Marie Amadea missionary lecturer Maxine Hinckley, Joan Kaplinski and Cecilia Strzalko ready up a downtown salesroom for their rummage sale to benefit Chinese missions. -Y i Business good? Those smiles of Cecilia and Maxine would indicate their satis- faction over the splendid donations of the seniors which made it necessary to hold another rummage sale at a later date.
