Xmong the oil paints and water colors in the cottage basement the ftrt Club dabbled under the skillful direction of Mother Putman. Using oils they painted portraits, and in water color their favorite dreams became realities on the canvas, lo make pottery, they learned the in- tricasies of the potter's wheel and the kiln. Finally in June all the creative attempts were displayed-hard work had gone into them but so had talent and true enjoyment,

The Christopher Organization directs, encourages and helps each one to be a Christ-bearer in the world today. This year our special efforts have been centered on spreading the knowledge and love of the Sacred Heart through studying the encyclical and His Message of Love. Each one endeavored to know Christ better, to love Him more, to serve Him more fully, and to carry this love and knowledge to others in the form of service. The Christopher Groups carry on their work quietly, faithfully and devotedly. At the Christ Child Convalescent Home, Christophers work as receptionists, teach catechism and help entertain the children. At Christmas they give a traditional play and a gala party to bring these little ones closer to the Heart of the Infant Christ. Christophers interested in nursing offer their loving service as nurses' aides at Suburban Hospital. Their quiet and efficient accomplishment of small jobs frees the nurses for more important duties. ln the Catholic Co-operative Advisory Council, a city-wide organization, Christophers can help to spread the ideals of Catholic youth. Two representatives report in the Campus Crier' column of the Cath- olic Standard' each week about the activities at Stone Ridge. Devoted Christophers write letters, run errands and talk to the patients at the Home for lncurables each week. This loving service brings joy to the hearts of the sick and aged and carries on the tradition of Sacred Heart work in this home of charity. 'Die Social Group keeps the school informed on the importance of Christian ideals and principles in our social life. Treating the small orphans from St. Vincent's to an outing at the Zoo or an automobile ride enables Christophers to show these little ones the love of His Sacred Heart which overflows for all men. The Christophers in the Liturgical Choir sing in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in their hearts to the Lord.'

As the curtain went up on the Dramatics Club for the year, they were preparing to enter various oratorical and speech contests. Stone Ridge was well represented by this group for they captured second place in the citywide :om- petion. Their success was inspired by the able direction of Mrs. Mary Kelly, the dramatics coach. The high point of the year was the present- ation in early May of several exerpts from Alice in Wonderland' The scenes given were Wflie Caterpillern, The Duchess and the Cook The Teapartyn, The Croquet Came , The Mock 'lurtle', and The Trial . The production rendered a clever adaptation of l,ewisClarroll's nonsensical fairytale to the enjoyment of all, And so the curtain was rung down amidst great applause after a year of successful dramatics.

UHlMlTHlfLlH Resolved: that the federal government should sustain the prices of basic farm com- modities at not less than 9042, of parity. Stone Ridge participated in four debates on this topic during the year. They debated with the other schools in the area who belong to the Washing- ton Catholic Forensic League. The record of the debating squad was excellent. For the first time, this year there were both a junior and a senior team in the debating squad. There were twojunior teams: one affirm- ative, one negative: and three senior teams: two affirmative, one negative. In addition to having a fine record for the year, the girls on the squad have learned much about the plight of the farmer and they all have definite ideas on agricultural aid. Those who like a friendly argument' cer- tainly put their aptitude to a practical purpose.
