Literature and history are full of these incidents and so is life at S. S. High. ln all our activities the Pastor's helpful and benevolent presence always makes a major event out of every-day occurrence. A Mass Meeting is in progress, students are attentive but there seems to flow an under-current of restlessness. The eyes suddenly shift to an entering figure, tension eases, everyone settles himself more comfortably, for there is a drawing force present that reaches everyone in the auditorium. As far as organiza- tions are c'oncerned to personal element of inter- est and leadership is of the utmost importance. In accordance with the true spirit of leadership the Pastor does not suppress all initiative, but welcomes new ideas, new blood and new impetus. His kind and encouraging words, clear solutions of problems, friendly and serious consideration of teen-agers, and other little indications make us wish to make something great of our life-stir our ambitions to be worthy of comment and con- fidence. Those are the occasions when the spark leaps from the torch-Mass meetings, plays, pep meetings, rallies, Ring Day celebrations and drives. That is in short our adviser in all our activities. Hence it is not surprising that whatever is at- tempted meets with great success, financially and morally.

I From early September when the first rally is held to the Commence- ment Program in June, we enioy our rights to assemble. Before us in the auditorium this year came many members of religious orders who worked in foreign mis- sions and individuals from education- al worlds who lectured to us on topics of interest. Then, we also heard and enioyed our embryonic freshmen, dramatists, actors, singers and elocu- tionists, as well as suave senior spell- binders. There were round table discussions and Quiz Contests. All in all we en- ioyed our right to assemble. Page A8 I Every month there is a meeting of Holy Name members and Sodalists, when by short skits and reports they encour- age themselves to greater love for the Holy Name of Jesus and His Virgin Mother. Sodality activity culminates in the May Crowning pro- cession on the first of May. lt is always a lovely occasion of showing our love for the Heavenly Queen. The ceremony of crowning is preceded by procession, during which hymns in honor of the Blessed Virgin are sung. Senior girls in flowing pastel gowns form the attending court for the out- going prefect, G. Strozewska, who places the wreath of flowers on the Queen's head.
