'X 1 QLD ST MARYS For nearly a century, its stalwart walls have stood, scarred but undaunted by the onslaughts of time and the cle- ments...unshaken by the threats of those who fail to see beneath the homely exterior, the true beauty of the spirit of Old St. Lary's, the service it has rendered to mankind. Hun- dreds of young people have passed through its portals, prepared to meet life's problems and difficulties, both spiritual and physical, living examples of the work that is carried on within these time-worn wells. Through them the spirit and principles of Christ are carried into the business worldg through them Old St. Xary's makes this world a better, happier place in which to live.

At her feet, we lay the failures and disappointments of the day, as well as the triumphs of work well done and victories honestly won. Uniting with her in the praise and adoration of her Dimine Son, we bog hor to help us to love and serve God with the best that is in us. As the time draws near when wo must face life's problems, we go more frequently to ask Our Mother to help us, not only to be successful in our chosen field, but to have the courage to cling to our high standards and to the practice of our faith. We hope that these daily visits to Mary will leave an indel- ible mark on our characters, just as they will on our memories. We hope, too, that in the years to cane, we shall continue to turn to Mary with the same childlike confidence, seeking her counsel in every problem, her blessing on every action. ww-Y 1. gf AJ, fgfryf 8 -iw q M if 24: 1.Ff'?i!

F,, -. vw, I SODALITY ACTIVITIES Although there is no definite standard whereby the success of a Sodality program may be measured, we cannot help feeling, as we look back over the year's activities, that this has, indeed, been a success- ful Sodality year. we have all come to bear a greater love for Mary and her Divine Song we have learned the true meaning of Christian charity, we have established stronger friendships and become better pals. Realizing that the success of any organization depends on its officers, we carefully chose those who, we felt, would most efficiently and faithfully discharge their duties. Virginia Egan was elected Prefectg Virginia Pietrowski, Vice-Prefectg Doris Miller, Secretary, and Betty Hageau, Treasurer. Those happy childhood hours spent in playing with dolls, were put to good advantage when we dressed laughing-eyed, curly-haired dolls of every description for the annual Bazaar. The little Mexican senorita was adjudged the best-dressed and was awarded first prime. When we began to sigh in anticipation of the Thanksgiving turkey and dressing, with all the nfixin's,n'our thoughts turned to those less fortunate, who could look forward to no such feast. So we packed eleven baskets to overflowing and distributed them among the needy, offering this act of charity in thanksgiving for the gifts we had received. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, proved to bo a happy day for the Sodalists. In the afternoon, we were formally received into the Sodality of Mary, and through this new bond with Mary, were united more closely to her Divine Son. An appetizing sup- per and an entertaining program followed this ceremony. At eight o'clock, we assisted in the solemn closing of the Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes and of the Forty Hours Devotion, by escorting our Eucharistic King through tho aisles of the church. As cries of nherry Christmasn'began to ring in the air, the Sodality officially opened the Christmastide with a party for the Kission School youngsters, each of whom received gifts of toys, food, and clothing. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree, drew cries of admiration, and the children had a very pleasant time. February, Catholic Press Month, occasioned a collection of Catholic literature, which was sent to Eloise Hospital. March brought with it, an abundance of blessings, in the form of a three-day Retreat, conducted by Father Hoeger, whose conferences were so practical for daily life, both private and business, that the three days were for us the most profitable of the entire year. After the closing of the Retreat on Sunday, March 19, a breakfast was served, at which Hr. James Smith of Toledo, and Miss Elinor Smith, President of the Detroit Sodality Union, were the guest speakers. .. ,,. .,. .GY W.,- s. .

Following the playing of Bingo and various card games, each girl served luncheon to her guest and all the Mothers registered pleasure at having their schoeldays brought back te memory. The beautiful'menth of May was dedicated wholly to Mary, our Mother. Each neon, before luncheon, we assembled to sing and pray at the shrine of Mary, before whom was a letter bex containing our devotions, was the of a group ef enthu- with coronets of and a song on their petitions and thanksgivings. Climaxing these Hay crowning. The picture presented was that siastic young girls, dressed in cool pastels, flowers on their heads, roses in their hands, lips, as they wound their way through the aisles of Old Stu Hary's to pay homage to the Queen ef the May--an eloquent tribute of the love of the Sodalists for their guardian. 'We were greeted by the statue of Our Lady, framed in pearly white, and as we passed the shrine, we offered our rose to her. O Mary, we erevrn thee with blossoms today, was our song, as the prefect, assisted by her attendants, who were dressed in long gowns, crowned Mary nQueen of May ' with a lovely floral crown. The beautiiixl ceremony was cen- cluded by the Act of Consecration and a closing hymn. -Thus we ring down the curtain on another Sedality year, and in actively participating in its activities, we have reaped countless blessings and have become spiritually prepared for future life. so Ti NH X -qm? fL51 7 'v X v ,Aw-.f,, ' U ' rw 'fd 4 ,..

After a few days of becoming acquainted with our classmates, class elections were held. After the usual discussion, the officers chosen for the school year were Rosemary Bette, President, Rose- mary Roerhig, Vice-president, Leona Daldine, Secretary, and Virginia Piotrowski, Treasurer. With these elections over Sister Bertina there- upon decided it was time to plunge head long into our major subject.of the Junior year--bookkeeping. But an interruption towards the ond of October caused many a Junior to ushake in her beots.n For about a week before Hallowo'en Posters began to ap- pear on our bulletin board reading, Juniors Bowaro,n nOctober 29, Is the Day,n and then finally one day our bulletin board'bo1dly displayed a sign saying, NRoquirements for your Initiation.n Lfter a few days of collecting our dresses, shoes, etc., we were obliged to parade around school decorated with these articles. But as a reward for our hu- mility the Seniors gave us a fine party. Uith peace of mind, we were able once more to resume our subjects. Ne became so grossly engaged with the balancing of our debits and credits that before we knew it the event of our first procession in Church to honor Mary as the Immaculate Conception on the 8th of December was hereg followed by our second procession on Christmas Eve--an event that holds a lasting place in our memory. What's this February already? Yes, indeed, it was, and with it came preparations for two import- ant cvents. First, on the 20th, was the presentatie fxx , X Ya? yf .ff A sw-55 ., 4 H 41- 'fx-E!-3, - , ' ' V' 'ff-Pal-fj' vw ,W .,., , uf345g,,1QSnL5fv Q- 1 195.32 ii -41:51 .' gil 'K 5 O. 1 M 455 f , Matwg ,-wwf' -me fu. - ' 'A ay., FPFW-'Nw M Q , I ' ' ' ' f 35' , '51 yn: w..5.b1'? gng 'fa--1141!

After conquering our stage fright, we succeeded in holding up the honors of St. Mary's. Then after a two days' interval we held our annual Mothers' Party. As this was the first time for many of the mothers to see our school, it gave them an opportunity to be introduced to our teachers and at the same time see our classrooms. Having fully inspected everything, they spent the remainder of the afternoon playing bingo or cards, followed by a luncheon and the distribution of the prizes to the lucky winners. With the coming of March, preparations began to be made for our annual retreat. It began on the 24th and after com uning with our God, we closed it on the 27th with Holy Communion and the renewal of our Baptismal vows. And then turning from the spiritual side to the temporal, we were served a fine breakfast, which was followed by some in- spiring and interesting talks bv our retreat master, Father Hoeger, and two guest speakers. After many weeks of hard practice, the cast of nUnder Covern presented St. Mary's yearly school play at the Wilson Theater. Drawing a record breaking audience, they were able to bask in the glory of success. June! And with it the thought of graduation-- the final event of the school year. But to give the graduates a real send off from St. Hary's, we gave them a class day luncheon. After the luncheon speeches were in order, and these were given by the presidents of the three classes, and our guests--Father Ackerman and Father Schillo. The day of Graduation was a beautiful day, one most fitting for such an occasion. The evening exercises were a sight never before beheld by many of us, and one not soon to be forgotten. Although we said many ugoodbycsu that night to our class- mates, we met them all again the very next day at our annual school excursion at Bob-lo. Having spent a very pleasant and enjoyable day we said goodbye HHlll'WO would meet again in September. But on September 7, the first day of school, our nurber had decreased to 56 of the criminal 42. These who had dropped out during the course cf the year were June Burke, Patricia Sullivan, Rosemary Roerhig, Helen Buckley, Geraldine Nolan, and Ida Trupino. But we were happy to welcome two new- comers, Dolores Kraus and Doris Hiller, to our class, making a total of 38 in the Senior Class of '59. J I I ww , . Y' yy, .A ix:-M 'A ' . ' X . .Zh ' M-..

The third week of school we elected our class officers: Mildred Overman, President: Betty Shankie, Vice-president: Rosemary Bette, Secretary: and Mary Francis, Treasurer. They had a big job set beflre them immediately by preparing for the Juniors' initiation, for now it was our turn to dress up the Juniors. And through the cloperation on the part of everybody, we were able to give them a splendid party. But after a week's interval, preparations were begun for Father Hoeger's Silver Jubilee on the 15th of November. Although the day was gloomy, everybody was in the highest of spirits. we began this day of celebration with a community Mass, sung by the entire school, followed with a hundred per cent attendance at Holy Communion. After this a special program was given in Father's honor with speeches, songs and dedications relating his un- tiring efforts in all his work and the splendid results he has achieved, and the hope that God will permit him to remain with us, spreading his good works and his cheerful attitude to those less fortunate. At our little celebration We were privileged to have Bishop Byrne--a Holy Ghost Father from Africa--as our guest speaker. He told us some amusing tales of his adventures in Africa among the natives. To top this day of celecration Father generously gave us the rest of the day free. Not to We outdone by the ceremonies of the 8th of December and Christmas in other years, we again had our processions and brought a little bit of heaven down here on earth. Up to this time we were always told to have plenty of light, but one February day curtains were pulled down and all possible light kept out. Je were then transported to Africa by means of a motion picture camera showing the African people and their surroundings. These interesting sights were described to us by Father Murphy. He had just returned from his mission in South Africa and'hdd many stories to tell. But what is this? Have we really been transferred to Africa? Mildred Benish keep away from that lion. 'Nhat is this. Snakes and tigers as well? But at this crucial moment Father Murphy stood there with a smile as he seemed to be enjoying our fright, for he went up to these animals and calmly turned them over, and there, lo and be- hold, they were only the skins! we certainly were relieved. At this point he had many more interest- ing stories to tell, relating to the capture of ' Q., 'Y 'U - ' w- ' Jn:-':. :1-.1-,. f,v-K. ,, ., .,.,,..,. ,,.., ., ' -TUWWM it ..??5Sf5'-P '. - wif? ?ggS'.jv35 2naQf,LA,, f J. wg , , la' ii'-M?'11'5kfI fffgEw,VV5 ?r f , A T?

And after an entire afternoon of pictures, trophies, and stories, we thanked Father for his visit with us We became so engrossed in acquiring speed in short- hand that before we knew it, it was Iarch and time for our retreat. These were three days in which we were very close to our Father in heaven, as Father Hoeger showed us in his splendid conferences on the Our Father and Hail Mary. To close these beautiful days of close relationship with our Lord, we received Holy Communion in a body and renewed our Baptismal vows before the entire congregation. This was topped off with a fine breakfast, followed by a splendid talk by Mr. Smith of Toledo, Ohio--a convert to our Faith. You may be thinking WNell didn't they have a Mothers' Party this year?n Yes, we did, but because of bad weather in previous years it was postponed to April 18. On this day we greeted our mothers once more at St. hary's for a day's association with our teachers and an inspection of our work- shop. Hith the coming of spring it was difficult to keep our minds on our shorthand, but we succeeded in doing this and before we knew it, the last week of school was just ahead of us. hith it came our class day. And the Ju iors served us a delicious luncheon. Le were honored to have Father Hoeger address us--a privilege we were deprived of last year. The next day we were again put into a festive mood by the Alumnae. These former graduates showed us a splendid time that evening at the Whittier Hotel and heartily welcomed us into their midst. Then alas, tho day arrived--June ll. Yes, it was a little tearful, but we rejoiced that we had had the opportu- nity of graduating from so fine a school. In the morning we had our Graduation Mass at 0:00 and in the evenind we had our commencement exercises. lt was a scene too beau- tiful to describe as the Graduates solemnly walked up to the statue of our Blessed Hother and there dedicated them- selves to her for the rest of their livesg and then the final ceremony--the distribution of diplomas. The day following graduation was the date set for our school excursion, and for the second time we boarded the boat to spend another enjoyable day at Bob-lo. Soon we shall be embarking on Life's Sea. Mo earnestly hope that our voyage in future years will be as pleasant and as profitable as it has been in the past. he hope and pray that when it is over and we have reached the eternal shore, our dear Pastor and the Sisters will rejoice to know that of the children of St. Mary's that God had given to their keeping, they had not lost one.

Sheets and sheets of white paper covered with neat black print filed in order, building up day after day, week after week until our Junior year had slipped by and our Senior year crept up on us. we were Seniors and our entire careers depended on the effort and success of that one short school year. Our typewriters now became a necessity and we learned to look upon them as a part of ourselves. we felt a welcom- ing friendship toward them. They fought staunchly at our sides. Their keys sped on, at a rapid pace, when we were happy and light-hearted. Every part of those typewriters refused to function when we were blue and sad. They shared every minute with us. We will all miss them as we leave St. Mary's. we will miss the daily routine when we rushed past that little office in the hall, into the room that filled with warmth shortly after the many busy fingers slid rapidly over blank keys. The typewriters will feel lost without us, too, even though another zealous, ambitious class--another class who will have to learn to operate our friends with smooth, accurate strokes--will occupy our respective places. We, too, will find other typewriter friends who will tramp be- side us through our business lives. Will we, the Senior Class of l959, and the Type- writers ever forget? No. No, we shall never forget. -.sm2A 'f - . 4 E.. , ,ML r I 5. 1 ,1'.,-' .N ,- s6Hwwum meddmze UOHOHQQ wNN:m mQHQb nludidww Q0HdWcnQ wH0bH0 QCD5wdP wpaMHHD 0 w9PCb MHQWBOW NQHHQ w0mQBmHw mddwm QMHMMUWN m05 ENN! wHpuOMm QHOHOUOQ xOpQsmww ENWMO5 NM05HQ GWd:0HW50 mWbmmd0H bbb O.mHw05 wOHpHu ZDOMQMQSMWW EWHQWQQ wGbwm3 mM50u0 OUR wOmQEpWq wOWWg m40Hq5 EQHHQ wHDb0Om mWWcm0 bbw 4HDmM0 mGddw ms9bwM0 SEO HHCZQSM QE 4WWmMbwD wwOwH gDHmPH0d mwgwpw vQ05p UDHQHUO mwgp UOWNPB QHOWQUOO SUMO!

Ann O'Brien and Mildred Benish wrote for the New York Sun. Ann wrote the baseball reviews, and Mildred, a confirmed spinster, wrote the Advice to the Lovelorn column. All the rest of the class became famous in their own rights by going into various businesses. The following are the girls: Eleanor Kelly was a stewardess on an American Airlines Plane.

And so we inscribe the names of our classmates in this little book, with the hope that they may serve as a reminder of the promises we made, the determination we had, and, what is more important, of the gay, exciting times we had fighting together, shoulder to shoulder against in- sineerity, laziness, end carelessness.

Miss Virginia Carl, Wonder Girl of the'Women's Page, today accomplished what other columnists all over the country have been trying for months. It seems Miss Carl's editor, Catherine Brindell, sent her for the story with a ndo or die in the attemptn attitude. Both editor and colum- nist capitalized on the fact that they knew Miss Carey away back when,n and thus passed through the door into the private life of mary Frances Carey. :xmas OPENING DAY SUCCESS The Run-a-round Race Track this week was the scene of a super co- lossal event, witnessed by thou- sands of sport fans. Creating a sensation never before heard of in the history of racing, Laura Maz- zola, only woman pilot to sit behind the wheel of a midget auto, set a new high in speed work. The reason may be that there is a limit to height, and Miss Kazzola quali- fies in that respect. Her speedy racer was built according te the plans of Ellen Stadler, well known Inventeress whose mechanical genius has stood her in good stead for many years. Virginia Cross, owner of an auto competing against Laura, was present in a very large hat, so that if anyone wanted her in a hurry, they would have no diffi- culty finding her.

Her latest devel- opment is the art of taking pictures , without film. In this way, there can you may what the be no double exposures and use your hnagination as to finished product will be. Esther Piche, professional model, has posed has never for many such pictures and spoiled even one proof,.a record sho may be proud of. taxa: UNUSUAL FORM OF ENTBRTAIHM NT The Royal Residents Resting Place is providing for its residents, a most unusual and extraordinary fonm of musical entertainment.
