The young adults of St. Mary's give Themselves with enthusiasm to the spiritual and social organizations of the school and parish. The church choir brings them together for Sunday High Mass and rehearsals under the direction of Mr. William Pacholke. On Thursday evening once a month, the newly founded CYO group hopes to satisfy the cultural, spiritual, social, and athletic needs of St. Mary's teen-agers. Although it may be 7:45 in the morning, Young Christian Students, commonly known around St. Mary's as YCS members, are bright and cheerful when they appear for their weekly meetings in the activity room. At each session, the leader for the day reads verses from the gospel which the group applies to its modern day living. This year the social inquiry has centered around family problems of teen-agers. With the help of Fathers Sedlak and La Mere the students try to work out their own 1960 patterns for action.
