The most important spiritual organization of the Lower School is the Eucharistic Crusade. This is a preparation for the Sodality way of life in high school. Although the Eucharistic Crusade does not have the complete functions of the Sodality, its members grow in devotion to Our Lady which is one of the most important traits in a Catholic girl. Barbara Blum, Ellen Gilligan, Patty Wehrmeyer, Sharon Williams, and Gail Huddle, the class representa- tives, plan the month's activities. Marilyn Lucht, Lydia DeCourcy, Mary Strasser, editor, Gail Huddle, Dwen Rag- land, Kathy Mongan, and Janet Finn, ab- sent, make up the stall' of the Lower School News. This paper sums up the girls' activities during the school year and also covers cur- rent events and other topics of interest. 69

THE BUYS SCHCDOL The Summit Boys' School, founded in 1941, has long been an example of a line school which helps to form a well-developed young man ready to conquer suc- cessfully the mountain of life. The Summit boy has a well-rounded liberal education based on religion. Both the men lay teachers and the religious guide the student, treat- ing him in an adult manner, chid- ing him gently yet demanding the best of him always. The boy is taught, through Stu- dent Council, the idea of self-gov- ernment and leadership. This training plays an important part in our modern world, for these young men will lead the future generations. It is important not only to be mentally fit, but also as the late President Kennedy stressed, it is important to be physi- cally tit. Sports play a necessary part in the Summit curriculum, and the boys take great pride in their football and basketball teams, as the Summit Hawks. Through the wood-working shop the boys develop a sense of creativity and take great pride in the handiwork they produce. The religious at- mosphere is stressed by having all the boys become acolytes, thus helping them to form a closer bond with God. All these aspects of education are what help the boy to emerge into fine Christian manhood. 71
