THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD Mary, our model, intimately knew her Son during every phase of His holy life. She exhorts us to follow in His footstep» and sanc- tify ourselves while participating in our daily activities. We become more acquainted with the principles of a Mary- like life through Marian activity. All for Jesus through Mary who is our life, our sweetness and our hop e. At prayer and study, at social and athletic recreation, we strive for awareness of our obligation to fashion Christ in ourselves, and we ask Mary’s help. At many of our dances, the statue of Mary is the central point of the decorations. We are reminded that our Blessed Mother reigns over us even during our recreation. She also our athletic teams and stands as a constant reminder that sportsmanship is the true goal of our athletes. ■
