RAVEN STAFF AT WORK K 7 MONTHLY PUBLICATION i1 VOICE OF THE STUDENTS. Our old standby, the INQUIRING REPORTER , was impersonated this year by Rose Hartmanni FLEDGLINGS has reported in a lively style the happenings in the first and second year junior high, and approaching events have been entertainingly foretold by Lois Ziska in the CALENDAR. Lois has also, in a true iiBetteroedii manner, kept a chatty diary of assembly periods. One of the innovations of this year which seems to have been particularly relished It by hungry'eyed readers is the column headed INTRODUCING in which a different I, senior is presented to our iiwaiting worldi' each month. j These engaging features, together with the admirable editorials of Marie Hoffman, and lively news stories of school happenings make up the paper. N0 little part of our fame has been achieved through the eEorts of Marie Bushr nell and Frances Rockelman, exchange editors, who consistently kept us astride of foreign fields, and Jane Billyeald, whose subscriptions and candy sale helped keep the treasury in a healthy condition throughout the year. The editors wish to express their appreciation of the splendid spirit shown by the staff members and extend hearty thanks to the entire student body who by their whole hearted cooperation have helped make the Raven a true reflection of the many aspects of student life at St. Scholastica. , q; IxJ JANE SPALDING, SCHOLASTICAN

Circulation Manager The year 1931 which marked the third birthday of our beloved Raven was also a new era of development and out standing achievement for this, our llpet: publication? We take an immense pride, which is pardonable we hope, in accepting the praise and recognition accorded to us not only by our own faculty and students, but also by other Catholic schools. Perhaps we received most of this because of the unique and eiiicacious plan of organization which has been put into practice this year. At the beginning of the school term the student body expressed its desire that our paper he not only a news sheet, but also a source to which aspiring litterateurs might carry their efforts, and from which they might expect recognition. And so with this end in view We decided to have no flxed staff of reporters but instead recognize every student as a potential contributor. Through the adoption of this policy the work of a great number of students was represented. In order to promote the cheerful and thoroughly natural tone which the paper has always maintained, that jolly little column BIRDSEED was retained, and CAMPUS CHATTER and ON THE WING were added. Helen Barry, our stall artist, made some attractive cuts to head these columns. Stu, dents who wished to voice their opinions on extracurricular activities have been given this opportunity through THE Page hfty'two SCHOLASTICAN1931

CATHERINE OWBOYLE OYEZ For about a year Oyez has been to us a guidance in our spiritual life. Its pup pose is liturgical and its numerous articles contain discussions on every phase of the liturgy. By means of this mimeographed paper a fuller appreciation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is given to its readers. Through its columns we learn more of the meaning behind the Church liturgy and ceremonies. How many really come prehend the true meaning of the Mass of the Catechumens or the Mass of the Faithful? This has all been explained in Oyez. We have also learned why we should partake of the Banquet prepared for usethat is, why we should receive Holy Communion when we attend Mass, what we should do during the holy season of Lent, the true beauty of the lives of Gods holy men and women, the saints, and many other fundamental things that we as Catholics ought to know. The little organ serves as an indispensable help toward the success of the various committees of the Sodality, for in its sheets they may publish any ideas they desire to convey to their fellowstudents. It is through the capable leadership of the editorrinrchief, Catherine OiBoyle, and the generous contributions of students that Oyez puts in its appearance every two weeks of the school year. All of the articles are noteworthy in their simplicity of style and in their sincere endeavor. Like Punchinello of old, Oyez, which means Hear Ye, cries out to be heard. And its many readers will, with one accord, bear witness to the fact that it is well worth the reading. MARGARET ANDERSON, 32. SCHOLASTICAN 1931
