Closer relationship between our teachers and parents was fostered in the formation of two societies-Our Lady's Guild and the Fathers' Club. The Mothers' Guild sponsors a Christmas Party, the Junior-Senior Prom, the Father- Daughter Banquet, and a Card Party an- nually. As members of the Guild, our moth- ers attended monthly meetings at which they were introduced to other mothers and renewed old friendships. Discussions of our future proiects followed by entertain- ment and refreshments constituted many moments of enioyment for our moms. The smokers sponsored by the Fathers' Club provided our dads with the oppor- tunity to tour SMA, hear interesting lec- tures, and partake in card-playing with our classmates' fathers. All proceeds from the activities and proiects undertaken by these two organiza- tions offer financial aid to our school. Distributing gifts at Our Lady's Guild Christmas Party are Mrs. J. R. Timlin, Santa Clausg Mrs. Henry Kowalski and Mrs. Francis Marzian, brownies, while Mrs. Percy Hintz, Chairman of the Guild Christmas Party, observes the fes- tivities and Sister Mary Maxelinda beams as she receives her gift.
