V X « - - ' 0� iWf.Sr v %;r w ; r ,v ?V ffiSSK i Foreword Youth, Space, Sanctity—Three small but power- ful words which the Vincentian staff for 1959 has chosen to portray the role of every person in the Divine plan of God. Youth is a span of develop- ment—physically, spiritually. Therefore, youth lives out this space of time by seizing opportunities that will mold future sanctity. r- 5 Dedication Because she is always willing to help anyone in dis- tress, even at her own expense, and because she is such an aid to all. Sister Bernardine has won the respect and admiration of everyone with whom she comes in contact. As Assistant Mother General of the Daughters of the Cross, as a teacher in many subject fields of the high school, and as the Dean of the boarding school, she proves herself daily to be a person capable of responsi- bility, unfailing in humor, and genuinely interested in the welfare of all. For these reasons, we, the staff of the '59 Vincentian, find it fitting and proper to dedicate this Vincentian to one of St. Vincent's best-loved teachers—Sister Mary Bernardine. Loyal guidance and inspiring per- severance characterize those who lead and instruct us. They have formulated lasting principles, direct- ed us toward goals of eternal hap- piness, and encouraged choice of saintly Models. May we in some way return this confidence placed in us and fulfill gratefully our task of remaining true Christian women in a materialistic world. As you gather and handle the goods of this world with one hand, you must with the other always hold fast the hand of your heavenly father. St. Francis de Sales Suffice it to say that the powers of dark- ness throughout the world are seeking to drive Christ out of his rightful domain in the home, school, business, social and eco- nomic life and of government. It behooves us, who love Christ, to make public amends to Him, to pay Him a public and corporate tribute of our faith and love and to publicly pledge to Him our undivided loyalty until death. CHARLES P. GRECO Bishop of Alexandria Father H. Clinton Teacle, Diocesan Superintendent of Alexandria Parochial Schools, sends his best wishes to the students of St. Vincent's, with the hope that through their Christian education they will form lasting ideals of Christian character. A � � t Jr V - • � ( f ( Father Kevin Nowlan, S.J. chaplain of St. Vincent's Academy, urges each girl to take Mary, the Mother of God, as her model for life. REVEREND MOTHER MARY CLARISSA SUPERIOR OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE CROSS Dear Lovely Ladies of St. Vincent's: Because to you, our children, also belongs the heritage of St. Francis de Sales, my dearest wish for you is that in all the years to come—every day, every hour— you may more perfectly Live Jesus. If His spirit animates your thoughts and words and actions, you will be a great influence for good wherever you go. May Jesus indeed live in you. 12 Affectionately in Him, Reverend Mother Mary Clarissa Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Sl. Matthew 5:16 As the rays from a lamp illumine the surround- ing area, so may your words and deeds shine before men in your homes, in your work, in your amusements, in times of joy. in days dark with anxiety, in your youth, in your older years. May your good example inspire those with whom you deal to do what is right. May they realize more fully God's love and mercy from your way of acting and speaking, from your kindness, patience, understanding, tolerance, and love. You have only one life—make the most of it for yourself, for your neighbor, for your country, for God. My love and prayers are with each of you. SISTER MARY BERNADINE, D.C. Assistant Mother-General Ladyship is a matter of standards—of caring about others and oneself. A true lady is known by her thoughtful mind, considerate heart, fastidious per- son. May you always remain the true ladies I have known you to be this short year. May you uphold all you have been taught and forever bear Christ's blessed love to all with whom you meet.

The cafeteria staff prepares the meals each day under the supervision of Mrs. O. V. O'Donald, the dietician. Vigor and courage are youth's necessary qualities in a modern world. Now the youth molds his Christian maturity — remembering the Image and likeness to which all are made — realizing that class- mates are truly His brothers in the Mystical Body — dreaming of that distant future when final goals will be reached. (God's youth) moves and runs in the paths of His heavenly Counsels and in- spirations. ST.

Performing in Sister Elizabeth's Feast Day Program are Mary Shepherd, Chee Chee Ligon, and Theresa Sava. 33 Jean Bullock Rebekah Butler Patsy Chandler Verley Connolly Jane Courreges Loretta Cox Juniors Charolotte Davis Judy DeLouche Jerre DeRouen Juniors Jerri Garland Amanda Gerhardt Nancy Goodwillie Eileen Graham Louie Griffith Roselyn Guercio Gwen Guetig Sharon Holloway Gwen Hutchins Juniors Dorthy Ligon Jane Llorens Concetta Maranto Melanie Martin Rosemary Mason Jeanne Mayeaux juniors Dorthy Newkirk Charlotte O'Mahoney Theresa Pawlow Georgia Piro Patricia Pope Rita Sue Pope juniors Mary Ellen Robinson Patricia Rourke Donna Sanders Thresa Sava Laura Savoy Mary Shepherd Mary Catherine Short Doris Stentz Elizabeth Stephens Juniors Joan Wheeler Andrea Willis Patsy Yeager Sophomore Class SOPHOMORE A: Motto: Love Serves Patron: St. Joan of Arc Flower: Fleur de Lis Colors: Green and Gold SOPHOMORE B: Moffo.- Love Serves Patron: St. Maria Goretti Flower: Lily Colors: Green and White Officers of the sophomore class are as follows: Presidents: Janie McKean, Mary Jo Holoubek, and Judy Young Vice-Presidents: Linda Cannon, Cyn- thia Brooks, Kay Michaels Secretaries: Bonnie Henry, Babs Wal- ther, Maggie Baudino Treasurers: Ann Pearce, Carol Moraw, Paddy Hopfenspirger.

As the hands of time regulate our actions now, so must the lives of youth be regulated to perform Christlike actions. Many activities now fill this important span of our existence. Many hours of life are spent on wholesome, well-rounded endeavors. With each passing min- ute of our journey toward ever- lasting sanctity we youth are mold- ing the pattern of Christ's life with- in us. Having found (a guide) bless His di- vine Majesty, remain constant, and seek no other, but proceed on with sincerity, humility, and confidence, for you will make a most happy journey. ST. FRANCIS deSALES PRACTICAL AMERICANISM The objective of Girls' State is to educate the youth in the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibili- ties of American citizenship. It is a plan for training in the practical mechanics of government. The consti- tution and statutes of the State of Louisiana together with city and parish ordinances common to Louisiana form the pattern from which the funda- mental law of Girls' State has been developed. The citizens of Pelican Girls' State are taught to honor and revere their God and their country, and to appreciate and cherish the Republican form of government and the freedoms guaranteed them by the constitutions of the United States and the State of Louisiana. Delegates to Pelican Girls' State in the summer of 1958 were Mary Goodwillie and Lynn Friedman. Pelican Girls' State, a nine-day session in learning the fundamentals of good government, is held each year on the L.S.U. campus in Baton Rouge, La. Paddy Hopfenspirger, Mary Catherine Short, and Mary Anna Brooks be- moan the fact that there are so many ads yet to be gotten to support the year- book and the paper. With the advent of September and school, these walkways will no longer be silent and empty, but filled with noise and bustle of a school day. Lamarre Foster prepares to shoot Vicki Tillman; Mary Paula Sullivan feeds an un- willing Mary Hopfenspirger some baby food; and the whole process of Initiation is climaxed by Kangaroo Kourt, at which the seniors prosecute, judge and deliver sentence to the criminal freshmen. Parents of the students were invited to a Back-to-School Night ' spon- sored by the Mothers' Club, at which the parents attended the five-minute classes that their daughters follow. Every year the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra comes to Saint Vincent's to enthrall us with its lovely music. This year they came on October 15, 1958. Saint Vincent's Flyerettes with the Saint John's Band present one of their many formations at one of the Saint John's football games. Members of the music theory class which meets on Saturdays are: Michele Folse, Mary Shepherd, Sarah Lyons, Mary Catherine Short, Ann Scalf, and Myra Wayshak, seated; Barbara McMillan, Nelda Hugen, Paddy Hopfenspirger, Frances Caplis, and Joanie Blanchard, standing. In the cafeteria students do a lot of talking besides just eating. Patiently and with a friendly smile Lois keeps watch on the phone in the information room and lets late day stragglers call home. Gayly indulging in a card game during the lunch hour in the senior lounge are seniors Pat Buchanan, Rita Dwyer, Peggy Van Rossum, and Gay Griffith. The crowded gym floor verified the popularity of the Harvest Hop sponsored by the freshman class in honor of the seniors on November 22, 1958. Attending the Pontifical Mass honoring the coronation of Pope John XXIII on October 15, 1958, were the entire grade and high school bodies. Members of the St. John's Homecoming Court for 1958 were Santina Brocato, maid, escorted by J. B. Cordaro; Hazel Reagor, sweetheart, escorted by Andy Miciotto; Patricia DeFatta, queen, escorted by J. F. Cordaro; and Melanie Martin, maid, escorted by Ed Dohoney. Our principal. Sister Elizabeth, was honored on her feast day, Novem- ber 19, with gifts from each class and a program of entertainment provided by the student body. Participating in the annual Voice of Democracy contest were Margaret Gorton, Mary Jo Holoubek, Judy Young, Cappy Calhoun, school win- ner; Mary Catherine Short, and Rue Ann Mayeaux. Cap- py placed third in the city- wide contest. The lighting of the Advent wreath in the alcove every morning during Advent symbolizes the four thousand years that the Jews waited for Christ, the Redeemer. The Sodality sponsors this annual activity. Interesting lectures on the Patron of the Press, St. Francis de Sales, were given to the journalism department during its regular classes by Sister Dorothea. The members of journalism greatly profited by these glimpses of the beloved saint's life. The seniors avidly participate in a dodge-ball game held during gym class period. Varied commentaries and discussion of rules are also held about the fast-moving game. For the winter season the journalism class put out a literary edition entitled The Kindling Flame, in which the students were asked to contribute their writings. The winners were: in the poetry division, Natalie Follain, 1st, (not pictured), Jo Dell Campbell, 2nd; in the short story division, Beverly Means, 1st, Barbara Branch, 2nd; and in the essay division, Florence McGill, 1st, Sara Gail Cloutier, 2nd. Student Council president Mary Goodwillie acted as master of ceremonies in a Christmas program sponsored by the Student Council for the school on the last day of school before Christmas holi- days. The classes each contributed to the program represented here by the seniors and freshmen. Cynthia Brooks discusses with Sister Elizabeth plens for the Red Cross Convention held in Alexandria, La., in January. Members of the St. Vincent's Basketball Team for 1958-59 are Margie Procell, cap- tain; Donna Sanders, Beatriz Ortiz, Diann Stephens, Sis Ditch, Sherry Brocato, Martha Semon, Nelda Hugen, Jean Hunter, and Beverly Kremenek, Patsy Chandler (not pictured). .'Cut •t Pk Af. V EE BFAG ♦ .1 Mary Catherine Marron and Patsy Yager post signs promoting school spirit, the facet under- taken by the Debate Club of the Citizenship Campaign sponsored by the Student Council. The Campaign ran for eight weeks, with each of the different organizations represented on the Coun- cil developing some phase of promoting better citizenship at S.V.A. Senior Margaret Gorton proudly displays the award she received for the highest score in the annual TIME magazine current events quiz. She also received the district award for the highest score on the Betty Crocker Homemaker of To- morrow Contest. Busily preparing for the January deadline for the VINCENTIAN are staff mem- bers: Lynn Friedman, artist; Jada Sparks, circulation manager; Mary Paula Sul- livan, advertising manager; and Judy Holmes, business manager. ■ Looking forward reluctantly to the task of grading midterm test papers are the four knights of the round lunch table— Mrs. Gilliland, Mrs. Leitzke, Mrs. Riley, and Miss Browning. Every year the graduating sen- ior class is presented to the Mothers' Club. The setting for the February 4, 1959, event was a lovely Southern house and garden. The seniors were es- corted by their fathers during the ceremony. In keeping with the National Honor Society's Culture Campaign, N.H.S. spon- sored a Culture Calendar. Responsible for keeping it up to date were Mary Shepherd and Theresa Sava, kneeling. Mary Alice Edgar, Dorothy Hefley, and Mary Good- willie, standing, prepared portable month- ly calendars for student body use. Explaining the fine points of the French language to the second yea� French students is not an easy job for Sister Mary Ann. Piano students who were pre- sented in this Honors Recital are: Mary Catherine Short, Fran- ces Caplis, Michele Folse, Myra Wayshak, Julie Schmitt, Sarah Frances Lyons, Barbara Mac- Millan, Joan Minder, and Mary Shepherd, seated. Thoroughly instructing the seniors in the trials, tribulations, and laughs of American history is Miss Browning. Because a history of our country is essential to good, p-oductive citizenship, the State of Louisiana requires a credit of American History for graduation. The regular classes and extracurric- ular activities, plus the joys and sorrows of daily life, constitute a normal day for us. Employing full-range octaves are some of the seventy-odd members of the Chorus Angelorum, at one of its many rehearsals. However, the beautiful results are indeed worth the many trying hours of practice. This is the way we leave our school every afternoon, with its picturesque architecture proudly facing the setting sun. The confusion in the halls is not really as bad as it looks because all the students are glad to have an extra moment now and then. There have to be people who work behind the scenes to keep office records straight. Bar- bara Noble, Cappy Calhoun, Margaret McPhee help Sister Elizabeth everyday during fourth period. Many students take piano lessons to round out their courses. Here Mrs. Walter Caughey is giving Sandy Timmins her regular lesson. 68 The Long Walk, from the school building to the gym, seems endless after an enthusiastic gym class. Sister Philip's typing class industriously works for more accuracy and better speed. As evidenced by the many classes of typing, it is one of the most popular courses. Our principal. Sister Elizabeth, ponders a list of rules and regulations concern- ing a speech tournament in the offing. Three members of the hard-working R.K.L. staff are Jo Dell Campbell, filing books; Mary Anna Brooks, typing new book cards; and Shelia Myers, placing covers on new books. Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, is our greatest aid to reach sanctity, Christ Himself. Not only is she the patroness of the Sodality, but she is also the Model for True Woman- hood. With her guidance and in- tercession, we show our love, hon- or, and respect for Her Divine Son throughout our everyday life at home, and at school. Honor, reverence, respect with an especial love the sacred and glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of our sovereign Father, and our Mother in a special way. Let us run to her—with a perfect confi- dence. Let us call upon this dear Mother. ST. FRANCIS deSALES Father Charles Glorioso performs the Principal Act of Service for us each Wednesday morning, with the whole student body assisting. On various other weekday mornings, different priests from the parishes in the city come to the religion classes to give private instruc- tions. These are Father Pat Donohue, seniors. Father John Timmermans, juniors; Monsignor Vandegear, sopho mores; and Father Joe Montalbano, freshmen. Both the high school and the grade school assisted at the Pontifical High Mass said for the new pope, John XXIII, on Wednesday, October 15. The seniors of S.V.A. were honored with the presence of Father John Birkenhauer, Oblate of St. Francis de Sales, from Wilmington, Delaware. On January 17 and 18, 1959, Father Birkenhauer gave the seniors a most inspiring retreat, which is an annual event for seniors. Saint John's Sodality sponsored a Day of Recollection for the Union Sodality given by their moderator. Father Joseph Brown- ing, S.J., in Saint John's Multi-room. Holger, LaVelle Hunt, ex- presses consternation at the appearance of the Old Woman, Myra Way- shak, while Steen, Pa- tricia DeFatta, and Bertel, Mary Catherine Short, lok on also in wide-eyed amazement at the ap- parition.

A big event for all Sodalists was the reception of permanent and temporary Sodalists into the Sodality of Our Lady in November, 1958. Father Nowlan, S.J., is giving out the medals to Sodalists as a sign of this event. Sociality The sophomore class is portraying in a most solemn manner the Birth of Christ as each of the classes does on its respective night on the outside crib the week before Christmas. Senior Sodalists who went to the 1958 SSCA were: Sara Gail Cloutier, Margaret Gorton, Charlene Webb, Jeanne Martzell, Mickey Messmer, Joan Blanchard; back row, Janet Canterbury, and Dorothy Hef- ley. Summer School of Catholic Action Each summer Sodalists from Saint Vincent's attend the SSCA which is nearest our school. This year it was in July, 1958, in Houston, Texas. The series of sessions held over five days are given to students all over the nation to show them the Christian way of living, especially in the Sodality and its programs at home. Junior Sodalists who attended the 1958 SSCA were: Melanie Martin, Jane Llorens, Theresa Sava, and Eileen Graham; back row: Rue Ann Mayeaux, Patsy Yager, and Mary Jo Holoubek, sophomore. In honor of the Feast of Christ the King, the grade school and high school assembled on the driveway by the statue of Christ to give tribute to Him by crowning him King and presenting Him with flowers. The most beautiful and inspiring sight of our school life is to see so many students receiving Holy Communion at the weekly high school Mass. Pope John XXIII Our newly-elected leader of the Christian world is His Excellency, Pope John XXIII, who succeeds the dearly beloved Pius XII. 79 Into every life a little “joy must fall; she upon whom honors have been bestowed radiates joy and well-being towards all others. Be- cause our lives are so affected, we should gratefully acknowledge the recognition others receive and help to radiate the heavenly joy so not- able in St. Francis de Sales. As the stars of heaven are reflected in a brook on a clear night, even so are the men of this earth reflected in hea- ven, in the living fountains of divine charity. St. Francis de Sales 81 Genius—95% perspiration and 5% inspiration, holds true of the thirteen who made straight A mid- term averages: LaVelle Hunt, Margaret Gorton, Jerry Stow, Mary Jo Holoubek, Marijo Miller, Mary Cath- erine Short, Frances Caplis, Carol Moraw, Sara Gail Cloutier, Theresa Sava, Linda Kay, Mary Paula Sullivan, Ramona Bott.

Its purpose is to develop Service, Scholarship, Leadership, and Character among the student body. By giving of herself in outstanding service to the school, by maintaining at least an 85 percent average in each subject, by exhibiting the qualities of lead- ership, and by possessing an excellent character, a girl is eligible for membership in the National Honor Society. Stimulating interest in the various phases of a well- rounded life has been the project for the members of N.H.S. for 1958-59. A Culture Program, with emphasis on music, art appreciation, and the theatre has fulfilled this endeavor. 83 Student Council The members of the Student Council are the fol- lowing girls: Nancy Goodwillie, Sara Gail Cloutier, Margaret Gorton, JoDell Campbell, Barbara Branch, Susan Prados, Beverly Kremenek, Jada Sparks, Linda Kay, Mary Jo Holoubek, Theresa Sava, Mary Alice Edgar, Janie McKean, Diane Huckabay, and Judy Young.
