ancf Prayer Sanctifies PI lettons =- During Lent we try to do something constructive in reparation for our sins. The walls of each class offer pious reminders as Pauline Guay, a Junior, points out. Let's keep Christ in Christmas, is the slogan at St. Mary's. Each class tries to live up to this ideal through Cribs and Nativity Scenes arranged beautifully and originally. Barbara King, Lucia Menegon. Christ is the center of our life, and prayer is the prime mover of all our activities. We have recourse to Christ and His Blessed Mother before, during, and after any enterprise, whether scholastic, social, or athletic. We pray that our activities be successful and bring glory to God.
