C927 life Jayne Roaring bonfires and sizzling wieners were the genial aftermath of the Athletic Club's October meeting, at which Mary lane Boehme was chosen president, with lean Tracy, Mary lane D'Ambrosia, and Rita Peter named to assist her. Mercedes Weldon and Patricia Monahan, of the class of '39, captured the first laurels of the season, when they were for the second year declared champs in the doubles tennis tournament. Hockey sticks and goal posts, not to speak of countless bruised Shins, came to the fore in the fall inter-class tourney, from which Seniors emerged victorious for the third consecutive season, after a hard battle for supremacy with the luniors. The winds of the hockey field proving too nippy, athletes traveled to the more tem- perate clime of the gym, to hold the basketball color rneet. Prom the best players of the multi-hued teams of this match, Miss Leona Tinnes, sports coach, chose the contestants for the Annual lnter-Class Basketball Tourney. Crowds of loyal fans from each class cheered their teams at the hotly-contested games of this spectacu- lar tilt, until the last whistle of the final game, when the Seniors were declared blue- ribbon Winners. Baseball, volleyball, and tennis prctctice in the spring led up to Play Day, when the tourney finals of these sports, as well as broad-jump and high-jump contests and relay races, were held. Pulses beat high in the evening at the annual banquet, when, amidst enthusiastic applause, outstanding athletes were awarded white sweaters and blue chenille letters, emblematic of the Athletic Club's ideals: fair play, good sportsmanship, and clean fun. 1 V - Fishleigh, I.

Washburn. flfikw QW Spirited discussions held at the monthly general meetings of the Sodality of Our Lady helped members to realize that before they could become vital factors in combatting Communism and other evils of the day, they must first work for their own sanctification. Greatly strengthened was the organization with the reception into its ranks of ninety-nine new members, December 8. To prepare for the birthday of Our Lord, liturgical-minded sodalists presented mystery plays of the lncarnation and Redemption, December lb, followed by the opening of the Christmas novena. .Special homage was paid to their patron, when sodalists gathered in the Chapel, May Day, and ceremoniously crowned the Blessed Virgin, Queen of May. Sub- stantial aid was furnished the Sodality's adopted mission at Alamosa, Colorado, by funds raised at socials, held throughout the year. fzr -fnrmy ry flfh'11fl Wliat am l bid? lO cents? l4 cents?

One of the lunior High Sodal- ity's auctions, several of which were given during the year to raise funds for C.Y.Q. welfare work. lncidentally, the buyers generously purchased articles which they themselves had donated for the sale. Having chosen the Blessed Mother and Si. Agnes as patrons the Sodalists started .the year by electing as officers: Mary Ellen Muckenhirn, Betty Ann Trickel, Helen Higgins, and Loretta Williams. Stimulating programs were given at the weekly meetings, and missions were liberally aided with contributions both spiritual and financial. Though a very youthful army of youth, the lunior Highists have shown themselves zealous soldiers of Christ the King. four 1' -MIAIWV fffflvffni H.

Soon atter, came The Silver Swan, also given by members ot the class of '40, as one of the headliners of the Christmas assembly. Unique in the annals of the high school was The Kitchen Gods, dramatized by ,Miss Eleanor Park, director of dramatics, from the story of that name by Gulielma Fell Alsop. The plot concerned the complications which ensued when the rich Chinese Honorable Master, Poh Kyung, who had a great wife and a small wife, decided to worship the Iesus way . ,When the play was entered in the Mun- delein College Laetare Drama Contest, Alice Dorothy Arthur, a senior, taking the part of the Mandarin, was awarded a year's scholarship in dramatics, tor her excellence in character interpretation. The large audience which viewed the Iunior High-School production ot Sir lames M. Barrie's Peter Pan, coached by Sister lgnatia, was delighted with the staging as well as the acting of this whimsical but complicated phantasy of fairies, mermaids, pirates, and lost boys. Spring brought the Iuniors' comedy, Thursdays at Home, with its amusing situations resulting from a would-be-philanthropist's desire to be kind to women business agents. The same group later produced Frances Homer's three-act drama- tization of Beauty and the Beast of Lorelandf' Though the story was essentially the same as that of the age-old legend, new characters and situations added interest to the original plot. Seniors chose the ever-popular Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm as their class play, given Tune 6, under the direction of Mrs. Catherine Wallace Hennessy. The mis- chievous pranks ot the sprightly Rebecca, played by Ann Cleary, drew thunderous applause from the appreciative audience. .L tl Qmwfffy rmrf Mr- -Avnif M. L. Shannon tfleautylg P.
