Always they hold your attention,tmxw charninq little Hummel Figurines. These qay, cherub-faced figurines of small children origina- ted in Bavaria and it was a Franciscan nun, Sister M. Innocenti, who originated the idea. Sister M. Innocentia was born on May 27, 1009, tithe town of Messina in Bavaria. She qrew up in a home that overflowed with love, children, music, and art. It is easy to see, therefore,how the spirit of art, was instilled within her soul at a very early aae. After completing her elenentary education and araduating fron the Girls' Finishing School at Simback, Berta Hummel entered the Academy of Fine Arts at Munich. Here she was content to live the life of an artist amona hor many friends also artists. Two of her closest friends were Franciscan nuns. Because of their in- fluence, and also because if Berta - great desire to serve human- ity she entered the Franciscar order. She continued to draw but now she was doing her work especially for God and her fellow men. After pronouncing her vows, Berta was now Sisterll Innocentia and went ahead with her art work with renewed vigor. The worldtm- gan to notice this quiet artist but the modest nun paid no heed. with her pen, Sister M. Innocentia captured the very essence of childhood in the angelic faces, dinpled and apple cheeked. The half gay, half woebegone, light in jiQffNvs their eyes, the unruly hair of the boys, ' the shabby braids of the girls, and allthe ' 'jl other childhood characteristics portrayed so L, vb effectively in the innocent little figures.

I O . . . ' ' y YHB?l'IlUU IEEHVELS Early one Saturday morning in August, I went on my summer vacation, traveling by automobile I reached my destination at Mt. Mansfield in Vermont. Saturday Ski Lift where the skiers go five hours. Saturday night we from Quebec. Sunday morning assisted at Mass but we could afternoon I found myself 'at 'the in the winter. We rode for about slept in Canada, fifty-five miles we went to Mass, you could say we not understand a word the priest was saying. Sunday afternoon our next stop was St. Anne de Beau- pre which is a very beautiful shrine. Monday we took in the Thousand Islands but we did not stop because we were in a hurry to get to Atlantic City, New Jersey. We stayed there one week. If you ask me that was the best vaca- tion I ever expect to have! AN JXCITING David Young TIML CF NY LIFE An exciting time of my life was when I went to Treasure Val- ley which is a Boy Scout camp. The first day all the scouts re- ceived a medical examination and later took a swimiing test. In camp there are a series of tents in which three or four boys sleep. Each tent is assigned to a special duty for the day unless it is that tent's free day when there is no work. There are many activities, among these are swimming,archery, handicraft, rifle, and canoeing. There is a chapel where mass is offered every day so the Boy Scouts may attend if they wish Last year our troop took a hike to the Spencer Abbey where one of the monks acted as our nuide. I am planning to go to Treasure Valley again this year which will be my third year. David Phoenix I+?
