y Q CCR -S y1fiS'Y at And so the curtain was rung down on the active drama of life, nVaoation.' With enthusiasm, forty-four girls received the announcement of another drama in which they were to star. This one was entitled nJuniors of St. Mary's.n Our first two weeks were filled with experiments and prebl ms, such as- lunvtofind room in vour locker for all the paraphernalia you think is necessary to bring, and how to ascend and descend three flights of slippery stairs gracefully, The first feature of our new career that flashed on the screen was the First Friday Communion in October. lith all the magnificence and splendor of an army, we marched in our school regalia to the communion rail to receive Christ, The days progressed rapidly into weeks and all were happily engrossed in the mysteries of Bookkeeping and Typing.

The entire student body sang the Mass and later participated in a little program given in honor of the Jubilarian. we were graciously visited by His Excellency Bishop Byrnes of Africa, who had come to Detroit for a short stay,
