We ask them to help us in our studies; we ask them tc help make our extra-curricular activities a suc- cess, and to help us win games. With the help of Jesus, Mary and Joseph we hope some day to attain our goal. While the rest of the world is hustling and bustling with preparation for Christmas, the Freshmen take time out to sing Christmas Carols with Father Ammering. . and you will find Him lying in a manger . . The freshmen ended their Christmas program with this beautiful nativity scene. The Blessed Virgin Mary Sodality With Father Ammering as an inspirational Moderator, The Blessed Virgin Mary’s Sodality proves to be our outstanding teen age organization. At the first meeting this year, 25 new members were inaugurated and the following officers were chosen: President. Mary A. Kennedy: Vice President, Jean Shaw: Secretary, Barbara White; Treasurer, Anne M. Grennan; Corresponding Secretary, Carol Pierson. Among their many activities, the girls Christmas Caroled for the hospitals in the vicinity, held a “Holiday Hop , and during Lent, sponsored a special movie: “Never Take No for an Answer”. Forty Hours Devotion Our Choir girls under the direction of Sister Bernadette Ann raise their voices in singing God’s praises. Our little flower girls appear to pay fitting tribute to the Blessed Sacrament during the Forty Hours Procession. Maytime “Mary Queen of the Universe” was the theme of the SMA float which caused much favorable com- ment when it was entered in the Mem- orial Day parade by the Class of ?57. M. Akoury crowns the statue of Our Lady at the special Senior May program, as the remainder of the student body lift- ed their voices in honor of Mary. Jane Clarke. Helen Hogan, Joanne Hayden and Ann M. Grennan formed the Court for Marie Akoury as “Our Lady Queen of the Universe” while Patrick Leonard and Carol Rancourt acted as flag bearers. f M r M. Akoury proudly poses with her mother and S. Anna Laurentia who beam their pride at the success of the SMA Float in honor of Our Lady. Direct, O Lord, we beseech Thee, all our actions by Thy holy inspirations, and carry them on by Thy gracious assistance so that every work and prayer of ours may always begin from Thee, and by Thee be happily ended, through Christ, Our Lord. Amen. First row left to right: G. Dricsoll, C. Sprague, P. Begin. A. Flood, F. Mulvihill, R. Pemrick, M. Conway. Second row left to right: Sister Frances Regis, P. Simpson, M. A. Kennedy, L. Nealon.

Sister Marguerite leads the Juniors who are pledging their love and fidelity to our flag. Sister Teresa Agnes smiles her approval at her artistic sophomores, who exhibit Christmas trees a la francais. Station “SMA opens the morning with the famous Senior actors anc actresses in “The Blue Teapot’’. Sister Anna Laurentia captures the attention of the Freshmen as they struggle through the fundamentals of Latin. Sister Anna Laurentia smiles approvingly as she helps L. Bartosk; translate Cicero whii • the rest of the Latin III class follow care- fully. L. Nealon and F. Mulvihill give the mimeograph machine a work-out as they make copies of papers—that might possibly be tests. A brisk walk around the hall is a welcome relief which leaves the students alert for their next class. r r World history comes alive for the Sophomores as L. McEvoy points out an important spot on the map and Sister Frances Regis stands by ready to supply info- mation on the subject. ✓ ..I English IV Class has been eagerly awaited by the Seniors for the work becomes more enjoyable with the record player which is being operated by M. Conway. When Sister Teresa Agnes calls a meeting of “Le Cercle Francais”, the officers, J. Clarke, A. Flood, M. Akoury, and F. Mulvihill conduct the entire meeting in French. When Sister Frances Regis began the “Library Club”, little did we realize that the girls might turn into “Book- worms”. Under Sister Raphael’s enjoyable direction, seniors in typing class prepare for coming exams. Library Club officers: B. White, B. Hyde, S. Bouplon. J. McGuire enjoy browsing through old vol- umes. Everyone agrees that Sister Marguerite is a wonderful teacher, and she certainly seems to have the Chemistry class totally intrigued at this point. The familiar voice of Sister Anna Laurentia is heard by everyone as she speaks through the P. A. system. When the school day is done everyone wears a smile. “What seems to be hold- ing up the line?” asks Bob Haynes. FIGHT SONG Let us fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. We’re out to win again.
