DECEMBER 1955, FEATURED LOUISA Never Idle is the way her classmates des- cribe our Demeber Catholic Miss of the Month. President of the junior class at Saint Paul's High School, Saint Petersburg, Florida, Louisa Anne Klingel never hesitates to give her time and talent to various school and Church acti- vities. Although she lives over eight miles from school, she attends Mass every morning, and she is a daily Communicant. Louisa says a Rosary every day, and she has a special devo- tion to our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and to Saint Catherine Laboure, the French Sister of Charity to whom our Lady appeared and through whom she gave us this powerful de- votion. An honor student, Louisa loves to study languages, and rates Spanish and Latin fthird yearn as her favorite subjects. I-Ier favorite extracurricular activity is dancing: a talented amateur toe-dancer, she spends many hours in practice. The muscular coordination she learn- ed from dancing has helped her become a fm'e athlete. too. Louisa is a member of the Girls' Athletic Association and last year she led her basketball team to victory by scoring 20 points in the championship game! Since her home is in sunny Florida, year- 'round outdoor sports are possible, and Louisa is very fond of them. I-Ier favorites are horse- Louisa designed a decorative seal for Paradise Island, a section of Saint Petersburg, Florida. back riding, water-skiing and swimming, and last summer she was a senior life saver and camp counselor at Saint Petersburg's Girl Scout Camp. Despite the many activities that keep her busy at school and outdoors, Louisa is definitely part of her family circle. She is her family's favorite cake and taffy maker, and she often takes a turn at regular cooking as well. When her parents spend an evening away from home, Louisa takes over as Mom's representative. Evenings usually find her doing her homework at the dining room table with Carol Anne, 14, and Joey, 7. Louisa has two other avocations: sewing and painting. She has made several dresses, skirts, and blouses-all cut with an eye for true style. She is an eager art student, and works on many art projects outside school. In her art work she enjoys drawing pictures of graceful ballet dancers. Our December Miss is popular with both teachers and pupils: her class adviser last year, Sister M. Beatrice, O,S.F., and this year's junior class adviser, Sister Mary David. O.S.F.. join in commending Louisa. Last year her class proclaimed Louisa Sophomore Girl of the Year , choosing her for her qualities of honesty, courtesy and modesty. Louisa is fun-loving and friendly . they wrote to us, 'ibut she fol- lows her conscience, instead of the crowd. She is a loyal friend upon whom we can always depend' ' 133
