LILLIAN VALLADARES SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1942, the Seniors as first graders, full of eagerness and awe, entered the door of St. Vincent’s Academy to begin their school careers. Their love of the school in all its facets deepened with the joy that each new season brought. The Halloween Bazaar, the Pageantry of Christmas, Valentine parties, Easter-egg hunts. Spring festivals, and May-pole Fetes - all these events shaped the lives of the Class of 54. The formation of Brownie and Girl Scout troops taught them organization and leadership, and the importance of cooperation, thus preparing them to meet the greater obstacles and triumphs of high school. Climbing that extra flight of stairs was a mile stone in their lives. The thought of the process they were about to experience filled them with wonderment. For, in six short years, they were to be molded into lovely ladies, well-equiped to carry the standards of St. Vincent’s. They watched their prede- cessors - determined to develop in themselves the qualities that keep the St. Vincent’s girl on a pedestal. Their abilities and potentialities were evident in their early dramatic productions: among them Hie Witch's Curse’, ‘Faust’, and ‘Romeo and Juliet’. They were initiated into the delights of senior high school, and in the same year were received into the Sodality of Our Lady. The acquisition of the motto to which they nave clung throughout high school made the Freshman year an epochal one. ‘Love Conquers All’ has bound stronger the ties among classmates and between the class and the school. They enjoyed their first Prom after months of anticipation. Then, climaxing the Junior year, was the reception of the rings. The class initiated the beautiful chapel ceremony of blessing the rings, which Drought about a realization of the full spiritual significance of being a Senior. In September, the Seniors took the reins, and drew up plans for the year ahead. They successfully initiated their Freshmen by pointing out the ideals St. Vincent’s expected of them. Determined to cap their Senior year with a Vincentian, they sponsored an ad campaign that won the support of the whole student body. Led by this class, the whole school worked together for the success of the Bazaar and pageant. They won the privilege of presenting a skit in honor of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Vigorous participation has always been a hallmark of this class. This enthusiasm has produced debate, oratorical, and declamation winner. For outstanding service in the field of journalism, ten were awarded memberships in Quill and Scroll. Seniors have fostered the organization of a form of student participation which has brought back the Vincentian State ratings. With the help of the four Senior members, the National Honor Society is now an active factor in the school. The school has felt the hand of this class guiding them into channels of spirited cooperation. But back of every accomplishment are those who have held this hand through the years - their sponsors. Now these girls must leave St. Vincent’s; they must face the world, act on their convictions, and stand by their ideals. Throughout their lives, in success and in failure, they will remember their years at St. Vincent’s; years that taught them of God, of mankind, of themselves. The Seniors hope that when future students pass the plaque in the hall, they will pause and feel just a little vacuum along with memories of the Class of 1954. A SENIOR’S PRAYER O God, please grant that when I leave These walls that sheltered me And set out with a life to weave — And start my quest for Thee — That I may wield the gift of truth And firm on my convictions stand, And not forget the deams of youth, Shaped by St. Vincent’s guiding hand. I SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY At the door of democracy, the forces of evil batter - but the door yields not, for it is strong. This barrier has held its own against these forces on countless occasions. As long as the American people desire its protection and reinforce it with their support, democracy will not fail them. For as the citizen is dependent upon democracy so also is democracy dependent upon the citizens. The keystone in the arched doorway of democracy is faith - the faith of a people in its leaders, in its government, and its God. On such faith was democracy founded and on such faith has it thrived. Without a flawless keystone an archway will crumble; without faith a democracy will falter and fail. Equal opportunity forms the framework for democracy’s door. In America, every citizen is important. The farmer, the manufacturer, the business man, the professional - all are dependent upon one another to support the giant framework of democracy, every man, woman, and child fits; the failure of one to fulfill his duties may very easily weaken the entire structure. Democracy hinges on freedom of speech and freedom of the preas. As a door cannot swing without hinges, democracy cannot function without those freedoms, for the tongue and the pen are the people s instruments of expression. Democracy encourages every citizen to make use of these of truth, to present his ideas by means of books, newspapers, radio, television. No citizen of a democracy is afraid to speak or publish his opinion, for the laws of his country guarantee him this right. Initiative is the knocker on this strong gateway. Anyone may wield his influence and knock on democracy’s door. Citizens of a democracy are urged to develop qualities of leadership, to exercise their God-given rights, for their advantage and that of all the people. American education provides a peek through the keyhole of democracy a look into the workings of our own government, a look into the affairs of other nations of the world, a look to be taken.at face value and used to advantage. A democratic education broadens the citizen’s outlook and directs his mind to channels of tolerance and understanding. His educariorr illustrates to him that there is always room for improvement. A citizen of a democracy steps over the threshold of political freedom each time thai he exercises his right to vote, in city, state, or national elections. Religious freedom is the foundation upon which the entire structure rests, the base of a well-rounded democracy. Upon belief in God, and freedom to worship Him according to the dictates of conscience, depends the basic strength of any nation. Freedom from fear is the key to democracy for no democracy can exist where there is fear. Opened by confidence, democracy’s door swings ajar smoothly, because all the rage and panic of fear are lost against the strength of this mighty portal. This door, labeled democracy, leads to a better life, to a brighter future, to a broader and more last- ing influence than any other path the world of today can offer. For those who walk through that door and carry with them the principles of true freedom, the door of democracy offers a ray of hope, a promise of a finer, better ordered world. America as a nation cannot walk through that door. Each American must take the vital step for him- self, to discover within those portals the full rich significance of being an American. Bloodshed, strife, weakness, treachery, hate, slink out as tht door of democracy closes with a ring- ing finality. There is no room within a well-ordered democracy for these forces--they must give way to harmony, co-operation, strength, loyalty and love. Accompanied by these virtues, lasting peace will enter in triumph through democracy’s door. Yes, the forces of evil batter at the door of democracy, but the door yields not, for it is strong. This barrier has held, and will hold its own against those forces. As long as the American people desire its protection and reinforce it with their support, democracy will not fail them.

LOVE SERVES Back in the year of ‘51 When we, the Juniors, were very young The Seniors of that year of bliss Willed us a motto that goes like this - ‘Love Serves’ So now for the past three years We have lived this motto through laughter and tears And when we leave our hallowed school We'll go through life with this dear rule - ‘Love Serves’ Pat Anderson LOVE SERVES Since our school is dear to our hearts we, Juniors, have tried to serve it as best we could in our own simple way. Because of our motto, and to show our appreciation for all they have done for us, our class annually honors its mothers with a party. We continue the tradition of taking our Christmas tree to a needy family. We also con- tribute boxes of food at various times. We love our motto and it holds a special place in each Junior’s heart. At times, when we feel ourselves slipping we think of it and what it implies. It inspires us to repair mis- deeds and strive to give more service to the school. Under its inspiration we have whole- heartedly participated in the Red Cross mem- bership drives, the various projects sponsored by the Sodality and other organizations in the school. We have initiated and carried on the Friday night dances, the school sweater and emblem drives, and many other things of lesser importance. We have even learned to lose with a smile. With our motto there to guide us, who Knows what we can accomplish next year? Evelyn Landers ‘TO ERR IS HUMAN’ If this old saying is true, the Junior class is certainly human. Time and time again, the class has fallen but picked itself up slowly or quickly to begin again. But failures, if properly used, prove stepping stones to true success, and may become parts of treasured memories. Outstanding ‘Stones’ along our path are: 1. Coke bottle throwing contests in the spring of 53 2. Brief lapse from our ideal during the controversy over Mardi Gras theme in ‘54 3. Wrangling from September until March before deciding upon our Mother’s party. 4. Christmas celebration of ‘52 when Mary Ann Gorton became a living Christmas Tree. 5. ‘Herman’, Angie’s cow, humming bobby pins, unannounced radio programs, impromptu singing practice, Evelyn’s unusual response to class roll call, contests of strength, wasps in the Pontine, window gazing, and the thousand and one things that kept us at odds with faculty members and companions SENIOR RINGS ‘He’s here, he’s here!’ Resounded through the hall. ‘Who’s here, who’s here?’ Came back the friendly call. ‘Why the ring man of course!’ And the Juniors gave a cheer. The time had finally come Long-awaited through the year. With joy filled hearts and bated breaths They gasped and oh’d and ah’d And quickly chose their Senior rings By giving one quick nod. They settled back to wait For that much looked-to spring When they become the Seniors And wear their own class ring. Pat Anderson 6. Bible quotations, the unit on Heaven and Hell, and themes assigned with a view to direct our minds to more serious thinking followed various escapades. Learning correct values, even though it was the hard way, we have used each experience to mould and strengthen our characters, and we hope that our Alma Mater one day will be proud to claim us as her own Mary Ann Gorton Nancy Collett CLASS SPIRIT A spirit like the Junior’s couldn’t be found. If you spent days and days just looking around. No Junior would pause for a moment to rest. If it meant that her class would fail to be best. In the stamp drive the Juniors were first because. They were willing to work for a worthy cause. This is but an example of what can be done, When the Juniors decide on a goal to be won. Their’s is a class-wise, alert, and alive, So hurrah to the Seniors of ‘55’! MEMORIES I wonder if we shall always remember: the jolly little things that happened this year- the surprise candy party in the basement the lollipops, the pictures, the loud Junior cheer. Will we ever think of all the fun we had: cleaning up after our FYiday night dances, pushing that long broom, gathering coke bottles, speeding the parting guest, heeding sister’s meaningful glances. What about the Mothers’ Christmas party: the breakfast, the medals, the songs so gay; the unanimous choice of class rings, the fun we had together every day? Much joy has come to us this year much more than any of us deserves. We have learned that we are happier when guided by our motto ‘Love Serves’.

But everybody’s good friend around St. Vincent’s is a girl who may be short or she may be tall. Her hair could be blonde, brunette, or red. Her figure is either just right, a bit thin, or pudgy. She comes from innumerable places and pos- sesses innumerable traits. She is witty, she is clever, she is serious, she can be mischievous or angelic. She has a golden voice, is gifted with the pen, and her interpretation of Shake- speare is something not to be scorned. One of her best qualities is her closeness to the Sacred Heart, her class patron. She looks to Him for help, and He accompanies her constantly. She may have her faults such as forgetfulness, overdue oooks, a disorderly locker, or loudness at times, but she’s still a friendly person and delightful company to all: full of jokes, laughter, and seriousness all at the same time. She carries on an interesting, well-rounded conversation thanks to her ever-reading and reminding sponsor. This year she leads a very active life. She gave a party on October for her class and the corresponding class of St. John’s. Her 'I Speak for Democracy’ didn’t place first, but it did make the finals offering excellent competition. Shortly afterwards, the ’Star Rangers’ made their debut in Mother Elizabeth’s Feast Day Program. She lent her time and effort toward the success of the Mother’s Club Bazaar. On December 8, the beginning of the Marian Year, she held her head just a wee bit higher as she was one of those who finally becamt full-fledged members of the Sodality. She played the part of a charming actress in the Christma Pageant, doing her part for the Sodality and orphans. She workei behind stage and on the ticket sales. She was mighty prout when one of her fellow classmates placed first in the Flammetti short story contest. Around this same time she contributed tc a drive held for clothes, food, and toys—bringing joy to a needy family. For the school Christmas party she helped to form a living tree and candles while reciting 'The Night Before Christmas.’ At the Epiphany Dance she twirled among the rest of the Soda- lists. As usual, in Declamation she participated, doing her best in representing her class Her school activities include Sodality, where she strives to practice the motto, 'To Jesus through Mary’; Choir, in which she chants Gregorian like a Seraphim, but doesn’t forget her be-bop; Journalism, the subject in which she aims to bring Christ to fellow students through Christian literature; Debate— here her gift of gab really pays dividends, for she helps to bring home a number of valuable trophies; R. K. L., where she renders service to her fellow students by assisting in the library. This year you mignt not notice her very much, as she is an in-between class which is often out of the limelight in high school. But that doesn't stop her—she still tries hard—she 'Serves in Hope’ for the Sacred Heart, her class, and her school. Yes, - - - - the most unforgettable character you’ve met is a SOPHO MORE!!!!

JOSEPH St. Joseph was a good and holy man and one we should all copy. But most important he was known as the silent man of the Bible. His part in Christ’s life was wonderfully great and important. But still there is no recorded word he ever spoke in the Bible. When it came time for our class to choose a patron, there was a lot of discussion, but we finally decided on St. Joseph. And we all agreed his life is really one to follow. SYMPOSIUM Elvie Jean Mathis '__Books are instruments of learning.’ Jean Akins '....Books are a source of better living.’ Mary Agnes Sava '....Knowledge helps to develop our personality and broaden our vocabulary.’ Kay Foster '....Autobiographies are sometimes even more exciting than mystery books, for we know that they are true and we can follow their example.’ Sammie DiFulco '....The books in the library are open doors to knowledge. The doors are unlocked, ready for any willing hand to open, but we must do the opening. ’ Jill Young ‘....-We should explore out of fiction into real and timely problems. We don’t really realize it now but in order to be able to overcome our problems of tomorrow we must know the problems of today.’ Mary Ann Stephens ‘....Non-fiction will give us a lasting knowledge of the world in which we live - which is cer- tainly better than lukewarm entertainment.’ A JUST MAN LIVES BY FAITH Our great nation was founded by Faith: -Faith in God. -Faith in Ourselves. -Faith in our fellow men. -Faith in Freedom. Upon these faiths rests the foundation, the strength, and the security of our nation today. Our forefathers possessed faith, they lived by it—they fought for it—and died to foster it. They certainly must have been just to possess such faith. Peggy Ann Linxwiler CAN YOU IMAGINE: Nelwyn keeping quiet one minute? Jill in a desk and keeping in it? Frances Tynan with a frown?

ON BEING AN ANGEL Peggy Phillips To be an angel is especially hard for us mortals, unless, of course, we take a bit after the Littlest Angel, whose greatest talent seemed to be disturbing all Heavenly peace.- To be an angel one must be perfect -- well, almost, and I am sure on one on earth is that good. Dear fellow-mortal, do YOU remain properly and sweetly devout through, say, the entire Rosary, or the solemn moments of Holy Mass, without your truant thoughts skipping off to a dream-world filled with new dresses, parties and 'divine’ eats, dates with your hero, and on ad infinitum? Another point to consider is that angels are so amazingly and discouragingly prompt. They always do what they are supposed to do just at the right moment, and never put off until to- morrow as some of us do. Would be angels, do you keep your eyes and ears open at all times, so that never once must you offer the all-too-human excuse, 'Sister, I didn’t know,’ or 'I forgot’? Now comes the acid test: angels seem to know and say only the loveliest things about others. Now you know how extremely difficult that is for some of us. One of our worst faults seems to be talking about others. I wonder what really would happen«if the angels would gossip. That is impossible to imagine, though, because to speak and think ONLY loving thoughts is so truly Heavenly, that to think of Heaven is to forget at once all such discordant, hurtful thoughts. I suppose the people on earth nearest to being angels are those who have to put up with us, with our half-hearted, stumbling, and sometimes foolish efforts at being angels. You know, perhaps it would be better just to give up the idea of becoming angelic and try the very best we can to fill each day with doing the little things asked of us joyfully and lovingly. So if you are trying to be an angel, do not give up. You may never be an angel but at least you will become a saint. ‘ Mary, Our Mother and Guardian' Mary, Queen of Heaven, Of earth and everywhere, Help us, please, and guide us, and Hear our fervent prayer. We are but wicked sinners So sinful and distressed, So keep us ever close to thee, O Mother Mary blessed. Please guide us along this path Which is so very, very long, And keep us ever ready To do the right and not the wrong. Marie Goebel So that when our journey’s ended. We may come to rest with thee. And enjoy thy radiant beauty For all eternity. CHARITY Noni Ann Miller Charity is love: love of God and of our neighbor. It is the virtue by which we express our love for humanity, and it stands as a meeting place for all who think it is 'more blessed to give than to receive.’ Charity fills our heart and mind with peace and joy. It is the virtue which binds heart to- gether, communities, nations. Only when our wills are one with the Divine Will do we know true peace; only when we experience true peace do we know real joy. This is the virtue which is absent from the world to-day, which is the solution to all of the UN’s problems. Only when individuals bring peace to their own hearts will the world know peace. Truly ’Charity begins at home.’ Another beautiful effect of charity is mercy. Mercy is that virtu? which inclines us to sym- pathy and benevolence towards our suffering and needy tellow-man. When we help our fellow- man, we are really helping Jesus Christ. He said, 'Whatsoever you do to the least of these my brethren, you do unto Me.’ Mercy moves us to give alms to those in need, to spread kindness and good cheer and encouragement to the sad and disconsolate. All of the spiritual and temporal works of mercy are the effects of charity. Our Lord said, 'Love your enemies, do good, and lend, Vlot hoping for any return, and your reward shall be great, and you shall be children of the Most Hig.o for He is kind towards the ungrateful and evil. Forgive and you shall be forgiven; give and it shall be given to you.’ Charity is Queen of all virtues. It alone remains eternally. o ANGELIC SPIRITS Hie little white spirits with soft fluffy wings; All children exclaim: ‘They’re such beautiful things!' Floating through clouds on a bright shiny star Only few can picture how spotless they are! Their behavior is perfect, their manners unspoiled. And their beautiful souls remain white and unsoiled. They tell us to ‘hitch on to the stars --- Aim higher than the mark; For that’s the only way, they assure us To keep from being left in the dark. So let us try to be ANGELS, And try persistently. And maybe, if we strive hard enough We’ll be the GIRLS we ought to be! JanelJe Mayeux BOOKS Marie Goebel Have you ever heard the expression, ‘Books are the gateway to knowledge’? Perhaps you have, but never really thought on it seriously. Our minds are restless and ever in search of Truth. Books are the friends and guides that bring us to that knowledge, to those truths which will prepare us to take our place in the world In later life that we might become apostles of Truth. We might compare this world to a dark forest amid swamplands holding many unexpected dangers and perils. Paths and roads are treacherous and uncertain. We must blaze a trail through this unfriendly, unfamiliar woodland. Books are the kindly guides that show us the way. Through books we come to the knowledge of great men and women, whose courage and faith inspire us and spur us on to great deeds of nobility and service. The history of their lives and times teach us, inspire, and motivate us. What little progress would the world have made without the aid of books! It is not unlikely that it might be one in which talents would be yet undeveloped and unexploited, one with tallow candles for light, oxen, horses and mules for transportation, one without radios, telephone, airplanes, and endless other marvelous inventions. Only the incredibly lazy or stupid could fail to see and take advantage of books. It becomes our duty to read, that we might know our heritage, that we might prepare ourselves to carry on the leaders of the world of tomorrow THE DOOR STANDS OPEN FOR A GIRL TO TAKE HER PLACE IN ANY ACTIVITY THAT SHE MAY CHOOSE ....

The Choir under the direction of Sister Rose Marie provides music for all school functions. 1954 marked an outstanding season for St. Vincent's Chorus Angelorum. The Christ the King ceremony at the Shreveport Ball Park was the occasion of the choristers first public appearance. The group's rendition of the musical score for the annual Christmas Pageant was widely acclaimed. Mary Cousin and Barbara Ross attended the All-State Chorus Convention in Lafayette, representing our choir. Climaxing weeks of strenuous practice, was a train journey to Baton Rouge, where their organization gave a special exhibition. As a fitting close to a busy year, the Choir sang for Baccalareate and Graduation. Barbara Ross and Mary Cousin represented the High school piano students give private recitals. Chorus Angelorum at the All-State Chorus Let it be known a woman who is beautifully self-expressed is guaranteed self-success. She recognizes that entrenched error, prejudice, self-interest, conceit, doubt, fear, desire, and ignorance are barriers to con- viction. She overcomes these obstacles and becomes a woman capable of standing on her own two feet. Yes, through the compelling hand of debate-procedure she is capable of leaving her sheltered Alma Mater to face the challenge of a ruthless, demanding world. She has acquired a staunch, indisputable tone which persuades her listerner to hold her convictions as strongly as she holds them, to feel them as vividly as she feels them, to believe them as deeply as she believes them, to act upon them as sincerely as she acts upon them. Debate and speech today are no longer the classic features of old. The art of public speaking is more popu- lar and potent today than ever before. More than once the fate of a nation has been determined by an oration or a debate. However, debate, oratory, and speech are not arts limited to the gigantic problems posed by a nation, but rather can be and are focused on the development of characteristics such as poise and personality. There two qualities, can be the most powerful combinations on earth, more attractive than the magnet, more glowing and penetrating than radium, more deeply charged with subtle and mysterious energy than electricity. But their power is dormant and futile with living speech. Reasoning and logic are other attributes developed in the interested speech and debate student. Ability to pick the true from the false, to discard the useless and irrelevant is necessary and imperative to the success of a woman’s career. In debating and oratory, she deals with vital public questions as she must deal later with national and world events. She witnesses history in the making. Through earnest and diligent debate and speech study, a student is capable of developing her poise and personality, a sound structure for thinking and reasoning, and a basis for broadening her interests. Thus, it is evident that debate is not an organization for irresolute, shallow individuals who would engage in its projects as a mere diversion, but rather an organization for energetic, enterprising persons who diligently strive to better themselves and society. FRENCH FOREIGN mm Mary Cousin, Secretary; Frances Welsh, Treasurer. Every student of French is eligible for membership in Le Cercle Jeanne d’Arc. This organization promotes the wider use of the FYench language by the first-year students. A French Bingo taught them numbers and prizes such as a pin from Brittany and a water- color map of the Provinces were an incentive to quick thinking. Everything from enthusiastic conversations in FYench to a quiet session of listening to Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ enlivens the process of learning this fascinating language. This con- versational fluency and awakening of interest is the aim of the French Club. LATIN FORUM Latin Forum Officers: Marilyn Quinn. Praetor; Veronica Porteous, Scriba; Ann Fer usson, lane Appleby, Counsellors. Spanish Club Officers; President, Mart. Ginaine; Secretary, Anne Nowery; Treasurer, Gail Goetz. The Latin Forum is an organization affili- ated with the Latin Class; it’s membership consisting of all Latin students. This organ- ization serves to bring about a better appre- ciation of the Roman civilization as an inspir- ation to modem life. Pursuing this purpose, the Forum makes studies of Roman life, literature and culture. Throughout the year, the club has remained active through many interesting as well as Educational projects including plays, songs, and drawings. By combining merry-making and study, the Forum cian well be labeled a happy and well-informed group. SPANISH CLASS ES VERDAD that this year has been most enjoyable for the Spanish Class. Perhaps it is Sister Rita’s cheerful smile and persevering attitude on their attempts to speak the language that compel their interest. There are verbs to be conjugated, nouns, pronouns and preposi- tions to be learned yet they are never to busy to break pinatas, play records, sing songs and play games. The frowns which come from the subjunctive mood quickly turn into smiles as they begin to sing ‘Te Quiero’ or other Spanish songs. This Spanish Class even has a room of their very own. Freshmen French class plays Bingo. Latin Club displays first term projects. Spanish Club learns with records. Caroling the greetings of Noel to the French sisters in the laundry. Forum Latinum entertains at assembly. Spanish students enjoy pinata party. Society members turn thespian, with a dramatic presentation entitled ’How Not To Act At Christmas, the Society decorated the main hall on third floor. NHTIONRL SOCIETY The National Honor Society creates an enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulates a desire to render service to the school, promotes worthy leadership, and develops character in the students of the American Secondary Schools. To become a member you must maintain a scholastic average of 85 , take an active part in school activities and render some special service to the school. Membership in this organization is one of the highest honors that a high school student can attain. In November, the National Honor Society unveiled its first project of the year, a Courtesy Drive. Posters designed by the members urge the student body to ’mind those manners . The Courtesy Court which climaxed the two week campaign included Queen Marie Rinaudo; Miss School Spirit, Jane Adams; Maids, Marie Goebel, Frances Tynan, Janet Turgeon, Frances Welsh. Pat Daly, Jesilin Daniell, Ann Fergusson, Nancy Means, Anne Nowery, Marilyn Quinn, Helen Shepard RFD CROSS Sister Berchmans Landers Biscomb Di Stefano McDaniel Sponsor President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer In many towns there are Junior Red Cross organizations. These units are composed of children who want to do their part to help others. These children are learning everyday not only to think of themselves, but to think of others also, and to lend a helping hand. If we lend our helping hand to others, God will lend His to us. This brings us to the point of our Red Cross, which under the direction of Sister Mary Berch- mans, has been very active during the past year. This group sponsored the Red Cross enrollment drive—at Christmas time stuffed animals for the children at the Veterans’ Administration, together with beautifully decorated pine cones— also creatively made were Halloween, Valentine, and Easter favors. All of the useful projects to which the students willingly donated their time as well as ser- vices throughout the year were distributed to the local hospitals and the Old Folks Home. Every member in the school belongs to this organization. This work encourages students to share with those in need and gives valuable training necessary in later years. In answer tothe question, 'Why belong to a service club?’ each member from the very youngest to the oldest has learned that when you do something for the Red Cross, no matter what it is, it means a happy smile on someone’s face—and a happy feeling in your heart.

The Library is essential to every insti- tution of learning, for here the wisdom of all the ages is preserved and passed on to newer generations. Under the supervision of Sister Agnes Ruth, R. K. L., has done much in spreading the im- portance and significance of the library through- out the school. The aims and ideals of this service organization are summed up in the words: 'to read, know, and love good books...’ The members take a great pleasure in generating a spirit of love for good, Catholic reading. A highlight to every meeting is a book review given by a member or a guest speaker. They are constantly on the alert for ways in which to better the service in the library. Each girl aids in the circulation department, in shelving, in filing, and in typing. The projects of the year are many and varied, the major one being the Student Direc- tory. Each of the undertakings attempts to develop the student’s initiative, further her education, develop right habits, attitudes and ideals in working toward a worthy goal, and to co-operate with the school. Teen-age librarians convene. Students do research work. Marian Year Display Upon joining R. K. L. new members take a pledge to fulfill duties willingly, faithfully, and diligently, and to uphold at all times the rules and regulations of the school and library. At joint meetings with other groups, ideas are exchanged and methods for bettering co- operation and participation are adopted. In order to make the organization as strong as possible it has been divided into two groups, one for the older girls and a junior section for the Freshmen. In this way the younger mem- bers can learn the fundamentals of library work, and prepare themselves well for their future membership. As secretary of the Louisiana Teen Age Library Association, R. K. L. has proved both its leadership and importance. With its set of high ideals and worthy purposes this service group will soar to greater heights in spreading the use of so vital a part of our education. Jr. R. K. L. learns music appreciation.

EDITOR ASSOCIATE EDITOR Marilyn Quinn Jane Adams Work on the Marian Year VINCENTIAN was launched on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, under the patronage of Our Lady. The initial step in planning this publication was a series of Saturday morning meetings, in which a group of interested students exchanged ideas and cast the deciding vote on the layout of the 1954 VINCENTIAN. Christmas holidays found an enthusiastic crew diligently preparing copy for the seemingly distant deadline. On March 19, the staff breathlessly packaged their precious pages for shipment. Besides the Editorial staff, other appointments included: Dion DeLouche, Mary Ann Gorton, Anne Nowery, Gloria Robleto.

Quill and Scroll is an International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Quill and Scroll members received pins at a special ceremony. Members are: Jane Adams, Isabelle Champeaux, Jesilin Daniell, Dion Delouche, Rose Marie DiStefano, Ann Fergusson, Marilyn Quinn, Marie Rinaudo, Nadine Wilson, Mary Jane Wright. STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council: Front Row, Left to Right; Kay Blanchard, Elaine Schexaidre, Theresa McMichael, Ruth Velotta, Patsy Moran; Second Row; Marilyn Quinn, Jesilin Daniell, Lynn Wilcox, Dion DeLouche, Mary Jane Wright, Ann Nowery, Barbara Biscomb, Frances Porteous, Patsy Bott. Closer school unity and co-operation are the chief aims of the new Student Council. At the beginning of the school year the Seniors worked on plans for a student participation program. Later, a committee of Senior class officers, Prefect and Vice-Prefect of the Sodality and Presidents of the other senior high classes met. They outlined their ideas and presented them to Sr. Cornelia for approval. The plan was approved and the above girls, plus the Vice-Presidents of the upper classes, were in- stalled into the organization as the recognized officers. Each girl took a pledge to support and help fulfill the aims of the Student Council. Student Council, sponsored by Sr. Cornelia, has carried out many worthwhile projects in the past year and has been a big help in uniting the faculty and student body. In some parts of the world Sodalists are called Children of Mary. It implies that same devoted care by Mary upon which Christ depended. It suggests all the gracious love that exists between a mother and her children. It turns isolated human beings into members of the Holy Family, since with Mary for our Mother, Christ at once becomes our brother, and with renewed faith we acknowledge God as our beloved Father. Not only are we companions of Our Blessed Lady; we are companions in Our Blessed Lady, a mili- tant body of Catholic women bound together by common interest and enthusiasms under the battle stan- dard that flies above our heads and by our frank determination as comrades in spiritual arms to win the field for Christ the King and establish the Kingdom of God everywhere and for all times. The sodalists began their fruitful year by the installation of the new-elected officers, who, bound by a special loyalty and honor, promised to promote the good of the Sodality. Sodality Officers: Ruth Velotta, Treasurer; Nancy Collett, Publicity Chairman; Marilyn Quinn, Social Chairman; Pat Daly, Corresponding Secretary; Rose Marie Di Stefano, Recording Secre- tary; Anne Ncrwery, Prefect; Jesilin Darnell, Vice Prefect; Dion DeLouche, Spiritual Chairman; Helen Shepard, Apostolic Chairman; Nancy Means, Catholic Truth Chairman. The organization began immediately to operate through four big fields: The social, intellec- tual, civic, and the spiritual. The social field attempts to teach the students a way in which to enjoy good, clean, whole- some entertainment; and to invite Christ to all social events, by offering up all preparations in His Name. A Halloween party was the first main event in which this committee planned a get-together for Sodalists. It proved a most appropriate way to get back into the swing of school, studies, and activities. On December 8. after the reception of the candidates into the Sodality, this enthusiastic group prepared and served a breakfast for the new Sodalists. To celebrate the feast of the Epiphany, a beautiful dance was held for Sodalists and other students. This was the main attraction of the year, sponsored by the social committee. Blue lights and a star- studded ceiling transformed the school gym into a glittering ballroom, thus revealing the theme, 'STARS’. The dance rated as a big success. In the intellectual field of the Sodality, our minds are trained to recognize the finer things in life and to subordinate all things to our ultimate goal, God. Each month an 'Outstanding Sodalist’ is chosen from the group. The girl winning this title can be very proud, because she is strictly graded on her everyday conduct, attitude, and the performance of daily duties the marks of a true Sodalist. During the course of the year, St. John, Byrd, and St. Vincent’s held many joint-Sodality meetings. These consist of a holy hour followed by discussions on various subjects of importance. Every month a different Sodality sponsors these meetings. On March 6, the Sodality participated in the annual convention held in Alexandria. Many favors have been granted during the course of the last century through the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. The students of St. Vincent’s have a special devotion to our Lady under this title and made a novena in her name. As a fitting climax, a tableaux, depicting the story of our Lacv was presented by the Senior Class, who merited the most points. The Sodality’s work in the civic field deals with the betterment of the general public. One of the biggest campaigns occurred during Christmas season, when all urged the materialistic 4-orld to 'Put Christ Back Into Christmas’. The successful Christmas card sale proved a close race and aroused much competition and enthu- siasm among the girls. The Freshman Class topped the school. The traditional Thanksgiving Baskets were given to needy families again this year. Canned goods and other food for the baskets was the admission fee to a movie, 'Mr. Emmanuel’, sponsored by the Sodality. For the benefit of the Missions, a Stamp Drive was organized. The students responded whole-hear- tedly toward this worth-while project, with the Juniors leading by a large margin. Prayers of the propagation, asking Mary to bless our country, and to make it a more peaceful place in which to live; and asking her to protect, us, her children, from all evils in the past, and those to come in the future; form a part of the morning prayers. 'Our Lady of the Crossroads’ was the beautiful pantomine pageant presented by the Sodality under the direction of Sister Helen Marie. Students and faculty devoted much time and labor and made this event the loveliest of the year. Last, but most important, comes the spiritual part of our lives. The goal is at a fuller knowledge of Christ, a closer union with the liturgical life of the Church, a growth in the spirit of prayer and in all that concerns the Christlike virtues in the souls of the independent Sodality members. Christ, the King, was honored with an impressive ceremony in which the entire student body parti- cipated. One representative from each class placed a vigil light before the Sacred Heart Statue. The lights, one burned during the months that followed, a perpetual love token from the school. With the Advent season arrived the beautiful wreath. Every morning during prayers one girl, chosen by lot, lit a candle to burn through the day-a reminder of the Advent spirit, and the approaching coming of Christ. After mid-term exams Father Severin, O. F. M. conducted a profitable day of recollection and helped the students start the new semester afresh. As a final tribute to Mary and a fitting close to the Sodality year, Mary was crowned Queen, by the prefect of the Sodality at an impressive Mass held at the grotto. Catholic belief has always maintained that, body and soul reunited, Mary was crowned as Queen of Heaven and became the protectress of earth, the beautiful intercessor between her beloved children and Christ her eldest Son. The Sodalists ushered in the Marian Year by receiving the worthy candidates into Our Lady’s Soda- lity on December 8. Christmas found the girls expressing the season’s spirit with the annual Christmas Rose Ceremony. The birthday gift to the Infant Jesus consisted of a beautiful red rose and the spiritual bouquets known as the Advent Acts. One member from each class made the official presentation while the group sang the familiar Christmas carols. FROM THE OPEN DOOR, MANY PATHS LEAD THE STUDENT TO THE VARIED ASPECTS OF A WELL-ROUNDED LIFE ... Each summer, four St. Vincent’s delegates attend Pelican Girl’s State in Baton Rouge. These girls are carefully chosen from the Junior class on the basis of leadership ability. Those privileged to attend the 1953 session were Anne Nowery, Jesilin Daniell, Ann Fergusson, and Marilyn Quinn. The week-long schedule at Pelican State includes speeches and lectures by prominent officeholders and authorities in the fields of law and government. It also includes a complete pattern of government at work, re-enacted by the girls themselves and climaxed by the election of teen-age officials who govern for a day. The campus of Louisiana State University is tran formed into a mythical 49th state during the girls’ stay. Upon arrival, participants register to vote in one of two par- ties, the Federalists or Nationalists. The teen-age politicians test their initial strength in city elections. Many a pack of gum is consumed at what in adult political circles would be called 'smoke-filled rooms’. Nominations are followed by intensive campaigning, with rallies, speeches and all the other usual pre-election activities. Campaigning for state offices starts almost as soon as the young citizens arrive at the State site. Gubernatorial candidates organize their supporters in their bids for nominations. Party caucuses are held and platforms adopted. The eve of the State elections finds the Staters taxing theii ingenuity to the fullest, staging demonstrations for their can- didates. As in real life, the divided factions of the primaries have closed ranks behind their ticket for the general election. Election Eve 'hoopla’ often outdoes the real thing. Brass bands, 'oster-toting paraders and oratory make the campus ring. Adding.a final touch of realism to the program, officials of the pseudo-state literally take over Louisiana’s towering Capitol. The young governor is sworn in, and the House and Senate, elected by the Teen-agers convene in the House Chambers. St. Vincents was well represented at the Inauguration. As Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, Marilyn Quinn ad- ministered the Oath of Office to the young governor, while Anne Nowery, Ann Fergusson, and Jesilin Daniell occupied seats in the House of Representatives. Girl’s State alternates, Marie Rinaudo, Chief Justice Marilyn Quinn swears in the Beckett, Patsy Bott, Mary Jane Wright. Governor of Pelican Girl’s State Maids: Loretta Caplis, Frances Porteous, Mary Jane Wright, Ellen Messmer, Sybil Pistorius, and Veronica Porteous. Climaxing weeks of preparation, the Sodality Christmas presentation brought forth the real spirit of the season. Ttie legend of ‘Our Lady of the Crossroads’ unfolded before spellbound audiences the story of a medieval miracle. Long ago, legend said, in a certain far-off land, good King Wenceslaus built a roadside shrine as a monument to his son, killed in the Crusades. And legend also said that the beautiful statue of the Madonna would sometime be touched by a miracle and would breathe and speak- a living woman. But only on a Christmas Eventide when the perfect gift is laid at her feet. And our story tells us that on one chill Christmas Eve, many took gifts to the Madonna- carollers and shepherds, a wise man, a Princess, a court jester, and the King himself- but only Myra, a poor woman, gave the the Perfect Gift. That gift was- her only child. And the Miracle at last touched the Lady of the Cross- roads who became a living woman for a few holy moments and blessed the assembled multitude, and returned the child to its Mother’s arms, while the chimes rang in a new Christmas Day. Touched by an almost magical feeling, and stirred by the angelic music of the Choir, the audience was transported from a lavish castle to a crude stone hut in the forest, and then to the hillside shrine of the Madonna. As the faithful made their way up the hill, the stars twinkled in the sky over- head and the scene had the en- chantment of a frosty winter night. At last, in the Nativity scene, while the voices of the Choir exulted and swelled in ‘Adoramus, Domine’, many choked back tears for they truly felt ‘the glory of the only-begotten of the Father - full of grace and truth’.
