Christmas PartqeeDec. 27th 1921 Christmas ushered in the numerous holiday festivities. One of the most enjoyable and best attended was the inauguration of the first annual Christmas Party of St. Mary's Alumni Association. An able committee on decorations assisted materially in making the setting. The soft light of many floor lamps, blended in harmony with the streamers of red and white and the colored lights above the heads of the dancers. At one end of the floor was Santa Claus coming out of a chimney, apparently to witness the merry-making, while at the opposite end, practically hidden in a group of snow covered evergreens, was the orchestra. The entertainment committee provided for amusements, which gave enjoyment to the spectators as well as the dancers. A novel feature was introduced whereby almost realistic snow fluttered through the rays of spotlights. At the same time noise-makers were distributed among the guests. The hearty co-operation of the members in general, expressed by their interest in the Association, assures success in all future functions.

Reception of the Class of l92l An announcement made a few weeks prior to the closing of St. Mary's in the summer of 1921, gladdened the hearts of the graduates, for it told them that they were about to be added to that already in- spiring list of one hundred and fifty members of the Alumni. A short business meeting took place in one of the class rooms where the former officers were extended a hearty vote of approval for the interest they had taken to make the Alumni of St. Mary's a realization of the fond hopes of all the graduates. The terms of the following officers were completed: President ..................... ......... M R, VINCENT J. BYERLEIN Vice-President ....,...... ................... M ISS RUBY KINDLER Secretary ................ ............ D R, FRANCIS MCDONALD Treasurer ..........,......,.,....,....i............,. MISS ANN HOULIHAN As soon as their resignations had been accepted the unanimous approval of the selection of Mr. Herbert Schnettler for President was voiced. Likewise the favorable vote on Miss Bessie M. Logan for Vice- President, Mr. Leo M. Howard for Secretary, and Miss Marie Costello for Treasurer, was announced. It was agreed that the term of officers be limited to one year in the future to give all the opportunity possible to strengthen the organ- ization by retaining the interest of past officers and resting a responsi- bility on new officers each year. The adjournment of the business session was met with the announcement that Miss Marie Costello, a student of Trinity College, Washington had been appointed chairman of the Banquet Committee and with the aid of her capable assistants, had aranged a sumptuous dinner in the auditorium. This was the first banquet tendered the Alumni in the new educational edifice that is now the pride of the students of good old St. Mary's. A tribute to the former days of association in the old school build- ing was delivered by Miss Margaret O'Reillyg a toast to our pastor, Reverend Edward Caldwell, was ably voiced by our former associate Mr. Linus M. Schrems, student at St. J oseph's, Montreal. Short talks by members of the Class of 1921 and a welcome by President Schnettler to all members of the Alumni, also the announcement of the holiday reunion received the hearty commendation of all present. -Vincent J.
