When Saint Angela invoked the patronage of the martyr Saint Ursula and initiated the idea of educating girls, she proposed to train them in virtues, divine, moral, and domestic. Our Ursuline mothers, her daughters, have striven to develop all our powers, natural as well as supernatural, for the improvement of our lives. As Ursuline girls we have entered the doors to character development through the formation of the will in the virtue of fortitude, intellectual development through the formation of the mind in the virtue of sincerityg the development of Christian womanliness through the formation of the heart I0 f 'Jilgl' Q X f fav 13, ti 1 1 is S 'Y' gy. ff , no an .l. li ll lil if get bt' srggunsumi PRQTECT OUR FUTURE in the virtue of God-centered joyg and the development of family spirit and social virtues through the formation of a woman's natural emotions and insight in a spirit of generosity coupled with devotedness. The integrated personalities which should be ours as the finished products of Ursuline are the living embodiment of the Ursuline Method of Education which was designed to combine the traditions of the past with the progress of the future. This is our humble prayer of thanks for teaching us how to live our lives according to the will of God so that one day we may enter the doors of eternal life.

JEAN MARTIN, O.S.U. Prioresf General True intellectual formation will mean progress for the child in the measure that it draws him to God. The end of all science is to arrive at the perfect contemplation of Him Who is the Truth, and Who has made Himself known to us. in the Person of the Word. His example and His teaching give the true relation of the things of this world to God. Teachers and pupils should become accustomed to evaluating all created things in the pure light of the gospel. So shall they be prepared to know the true value of thingsg even to know the value of trials, the value of tears, the value of persecutions, should God permit that they suffer them one day.

Mother Dolores Marie, our sponsor, has guided and helped us to develop spiritually, intellec- tually, socially, and personally. Especially through our study of vocations, and marriage in particular, have we prepared for our future which begins with the white-robed figures on Graduation Day. Early in September we feted our little sisters with an afternoon of wieners and fun. The hilarity of Initiation Week was the result of plans and whispered ideas made since our own initiation four years ago. Soon after the Freshmen sufficiently understood the requirements of Ursuline, we received them into the student body in a very lovely and impressive ceremony. We enthusiastically participated in the Student Council Halloween Party by enter- taining in our unusually mature manner. Likewise, all of us rejoiced at the presentation of Ursuline's representatives for jesuit's homecoming ceremonies. Sharlene Ahnert was the queen from Ursuline and Carol Crutcher, her maid of honor. Concluding many weeks of preparations and numerous rehearsals, was the Senior Play, Pride and Prejudice, which lived up to all our expectations and hopes for a successful production. Work began late in November on our yearbook, THE ACRES. Barbara Abright and Pat Mallia, co-editors, aided by an energetic staff, began to work toward definite deadlines. Perhaps the greatest satisfaction we received was in the Christ Child Party. We furnished transportation for all the children. Their shy smiles and sweet wistfulness thanked us abundantly for the sacrifices we made to give them a joyous Christmas. And then Seniors' traditional dance, the Snow Ball, was an evening of enjoyment in the beautifully decorated ballroom. Our closed retreat under Father Weber's guidance was the perfect prelude to Senior Ring Ceremony on the feast of St. Angela. As our rings were blessed at Mass, we prayed that we might always remain faithful to the ideals set before us. And that night we were proud to receive those beautiful symbols of our Ursuline education. The last months of our Senior year brought a successful Mission Day, a lovely, enjoyable Prom, and May Day with its traditional beauty on which Pat Mallia was crowned queen. And finally the summation of our happy years spent at Ursuline came with Class Day and Graduation. Our school is now our Alma Mater, our teachers remain our sources of guidance, our classmates are our life-long friends. Dear Ursuline, all our live: long in radiance bright, your name will Jlaine like iz mir in the night.

AND A PRAYER We shall long remember one of the most beautiful and solemn parts of our Senior Ring Ceremony. Preceding public reception of the rings, the Seniors gathered with Reverend Mother Margaret Mary in the rotunda before the statues of Saint Angela and Saint Ursula, to conclude the novena to their patrons. Not until Father4Groeneger's inspiring sermon did we come to a full realization of the priceless heritage we have in our Ursuline education and the honor which is ours in wearing the Ursuline ring. We quote passages from his sermon: Ursuline is not an abstract ideag it's a reality. It's very real, very substantial, very- concrete. You, my dear girls, are Ursuline. Loyalty to Ursuline is nothing less than loyalty to yourselves, to your own steadfastness of character, to your own integrity. Integrity is the ability to stand by 'an ideal and follow through. This ideal lies in your- self, in the development of your own personality. Under the guidance of your teachers you utilized your zmluml equipment for the love of God and the betterment of your fellowmen . . . From your Ursuline Mothers you learned the primacy of the spiritual. Under their guidance you developed your :upernaluml equipment. You found out that true virtue alone can give to your life the color of authenticity . . . Because your ring is blessed, it ceases to be a mere ornament, catering to your feminine vanity. It becomes a symbol of the grand reality you are endeavoring to achieve, a symbol of your fulfillment of self, of the perfectly integrated personality which is yours as the finished product of Ursuline Education. It is a symbol of sanctity which should be your mark of distinction as young Catholic women in the world, as radiant images of your God. Wear this ring longg wear it wellg wear it proudly! And in later life, wherever you are and whatever you are, let this ring be a reminder that you still are and always will be: GOD'S URSULINE GIRLS. 35 I I 96 7 I ,I I I . N K , 5. - sf ' With September came school and the upperclassmen plane for us. Almost fifty little sisters were awaiting adoption and so with Scudda Hoo! Srzzdda Hay! and a coke party we gave them a hearty welcome. October came and our first school dance, the Harvest Shindig. Scarecrows and corn stalks formed the background for the gay couples. At intermission strains of Harvert Moon floated through the hall. Our apostolic endeavor prompted us to sponsor a subscription drive to increase the reading of good magazines. Next we complied with our Bishop's request, to be vocation- minded, by displaying posters and by writing and directing our own program. Then with Christmas spirit in the air, we decorated for the Christ Child Party and selected gifts for our little proteges. Then Mother Adelaide, our devoted sponsor, guided us in developing our appreciation of the true. Through study and planned tours of gardens, art exhibits, and attendance at concerts, we have come to realize the opportunities and cultural benefits offered by our city. In Springtime we turned the ballroom into a pageant of pastels and all our Junior- Senior Prom dreams became a reality.

The first big thrill was winning the volleyball tournament after several close and hardfought games. We invited the school to witness our talent in the production AJ Time Goef By. This pageant presented the music of Pilgrim time, down through Civil War days, to even that of the gay flapper's era. Our Christmas card sale helped put Christ back into Christmas, and also enabled us to furnish the refreshments for the Christ Child Party. Retreat started our second semester with just the right tone, and we shall always remember Father Rockwood, S. J. During Lent we presented Robert Hugh Benson's The Upper Room. This story of Christ's passion correlated our work in speech class and our study of the life of Christ in religion class. Mission Day found us the proprietors of the country store. The money we received from this booth went along with our prayers to aid the foreign missions. Our spelling acuity was put to the test when we met the Freshmen at the Spelling Bee. The benefits and joys we received this year were numerous due to the efforts of our sponsor Mother Isabelle. We have derived from her guidance the appreciation of beauty as God has displayed it in nature, and as He wishes it to be appreciated through our actions and attitudes. As the year drew to a close, we gave a farewell party for our big sisters. We realized that their friendship and help was about to come to an end, and soon we would be taking their places as upperclassmen.

We found that we were large enough to warrant two divisions and two sponsors, Mother Margaret Mary and Mother Melanie. All too soon initiation week was upon us. The school enjoyed our antics as we modeled clothes through the ages. Following these laughter filled days we were formally received into the Student Body. The beautifully impressive candle-lighting ceremony brought forth the ideals of Christian womanhood which we are striving to attain. Election of officers was next on our calendar of events, and this we did by choosing the four capable girls who have worked so hard for us. When the nation was busy electing a President, one divison of our civics class held a mock election. Their speeches, posters, and voting booths gained fame for them. The other section displayed a unique project of homes from Adam and Eve's time to the home of tomorrow. l Our first Christmas at Ursuline found us eager and thrilled to make the poor chil- dren's holiday a happier one. We planned and directed the games at the Christ Child party: K February was the month of our first retreat. The guidance of our Jesuit retreat master 1 made it a spiritual expefience that we will never forget.

DOORWAY F to the IN TELLECT SINCERIT Y May the Lord be in my heart and on my lips. Saint Angela planned to form for the Church wives and mothers with thoroughly Catholic minds. She gave proof of a clear and powerful intellect and of extraordinary foresight and courage when she prescribed to her daughters to dare to modify the Rule given by her, if the times and their needs called for it. Therefore, Ursuline education combines the worthwhile of the past with the progress of the future. Realizing that a woman has great need for a solid intellectual formation because of her strong faculties for admiration and love, the Ursuline program of education teaches young girls the wealth of beauty that is found in religion, literature, and the fine ,arts, and concentrates this precious faculty on the service of virtue and the good of others. A comprehensive study of religion which is not isolated to one class, but which permeates all the subjects is essential. After religion come the subjects required for the develop- ment of the faculties which characterize human nature and constitute its dignity, thought, and deed. These subjects which mold men are called the humanities. Latin, Greek, national languages such as French and Spanish, history, and literature constitute this group. Logic is introduced into the curriculum in order to give, the advantage of richer intellectual development and psychology affords a deeper appreciation of human nature. The study of the elements of the natural, physical, chemical, and mathematical sciences serve to cultivate the appreciation of the exact and of the abstract. One must be sincere in the intellectual search for truth and Truth is none other than God Himself. While so many in the modern world are.closing their eyes to truth, we are being trained to search for it and to accept the responsibilities it imposes. The Ursuline girl is prepared by her course of studies to recognize and judge true values with an intelligent and sincere mind. 1 54 Wk If 41 -F mf The Sophomore project on the Life of Christ culminated with the display of notebooks.

In seeking to form well-rounded young women the Ursuline method of education develops all our faculties. The training of the intellect is not sufficient unless the charac- ter has been formed in right principles through the training of the will. Our character formation program teaches us the necessity of such virtues as fortitude and courage. Our religious, social, and personal development are indicated on our report cards, and the Blue Bow is awarded those who show characteristic qualities in each phase of the will formation program. Counsel is given at the interview by the class sponsor and those who wish may receive help in their problems. Learning to get along with others in a spirit of good sportsmanship is one of the many ways our will is trained. This is accomplished through Ursuline's integrated physical education program. Special study and prayer in the quiet retreat enlightens the mind and strengthens the will. The virtue of fortitude opens the door to the development of character. The capable woman who has the courage of her convictions is the woman who is pleasing to God and her fellowmen. She is able to make the necessary decisions and can face the situations life presents her. Following the example of Saint Ursula, the valiant woman of her age, the Ursuline nuns train us to be Christian leaders in a materialistic society. 66 4 Oyllpn 9 6 t xl' V90 ig 04 WW fu r I. fl' -Ag K fm 5 .Q f 1. . cz if w .

Four weeks before Christmas a feeling of anticipation pervaded Ursuline. Each class put up its own Advent Wreath. Every day during religion class there was a special time for mental prayer related to our Advent preparation. The total of our sacrifices and prayers grew steadily larger as the weeks passed. Then at the beginning of the fourth week we applied ourselves with renewed interest and vitality so that Christ would be pleased with our gifts on His birthday. When the last of the four candles was lighted, the happiness and joy that filled our hearts rewarded all our efforts. In the chapel and in the rotunda were two beautiful manger scenes in which the wax- en image of the Babe of Bethlehem was placed before the midnight Mass of Christmas, The charm and serenity of these scenes filled us with a deeper understanding of the feast. Pictures on opposite page: Sharlene Ahnert adjusts the advent wreath on the senior bulletin board. The silhouettes and liturgical quotations surrounding the delicate water color of the Nativity help to deepen the spirit of expectation. The rotunda is a favorite place for visitors because of the life-like figures of the Holy Family. Below: The chapel crib draws us in for a visit with the Christ Child.

A Blue Bow for an Ursuline girl means that she has manifested true initiative, self-control, and leadership rather than passive goodness. The Gold Bow symbolizes scholastic achievement. The development of habits of sincerity towards God, neighbor, and self is an expan- sive project and one which challenges the Ursuline girl to be herself at her best. In such a way students who can take the challenge become intelligent, active, and devoted mem- bers of family, church, and state. Encouragement , . . enlightenment . . .

We understood the truth of those words after spending three days with God. Alone, exclusive, we fell in love with Christ, we answered His call, Give Me thy heart. We began to realize just how precious we are, what a dignity we have because we belong to our Creator. Yes, we began to realize many things we already knew. We learned to know God, to know ourselves, and to know others all in the proper relation to each other, according to God's plan. We found that it's impossible to love anyone until we love God, Who is Love. Father explained that everything on this earth is for us, each creature is tagged, I love you, from God. With this realization that true love is spelled G-I-V-E, we can live in happiness, in thanksgiving, filled with love of God. The atmosphere of quiet solitude and spiritual radiance, the early morning Mass we prayed in unison, the chaste kiss of love, in Holy Communion, the tears we shed with heartfelt sincerity, the private conferences with Father Weber which were so decisive in our individual lives, the meditations on God's goodness made so easily with the splendors of nature around us, the sweet contentment in which we lived . . . these made up the most treasured experiences of our lives. 73 i ALKED In keeping with the Lenten season. the Soph omores display the different symbols which depict the life of Christ during these forty days.

A scene from Robert Hugh Benson's The Upper Room is portrayed by Colleen Malone, Marilyn Brett, Carol Campbell, Ann Glasco, and Joanne Marino. The sophomore class pre- sented this play as a project of their Speech class under the direction of Mrs. jean Henry. The Apostolic Action Club sponsored several projects during the year. A questionnaire was circulated to estimate the general attainment of knowledge of the Mass, teachers were requested to explain its meaning and beauty during religion class, and as a culminating activity which devel- oped a more intelligent appreciation, Father Weber, SJ. demonstrated a dry Mass for the senior class. Opportunities for frequent contact with the Eucharistic King were brought to the students' attention by means of a poster-reminder. In March, the Club made a display of the folders and posters featuring the various religious groups. W SPORTS and I Volleyball, basketball, ping-pong, ten- nis, badminton, and tumbling-these are the sports on the '52-'53 calendar. The Athletic Council, which is in charge of all varsity games and letter awards, was organized soon after school opened. This year it sponsored a special Posture Week to make the school conscious of correct posture. Dummies and posters represent- ing incorrect posture were placed in the classrooms. Posture-perfect girls were presented with awards each day, and Suz- anne, Naes, who best exemplified good posture, was crowned at the week's end as Posture Queen. Preceding the crown- ing, the members of the Athletic Council demonstrated in a skit perfect and poor posture. Volleyball and basketball season brought us many thrilling intra- mural games and also some varsity games with other Catholic schools. In February we journeyed to San Antonio to play Ursuline and Provi- dence High. We won both of our games. On May 13, everyone in the school participated in the annual outdoor PE' night. Tumbling drills and formations were performed by those who had shown agility during the year. The exciting competition, enthusiastic practice, and good sportsmanship which characterized every Ursuline sports event are attributed to the directing and coach- ing of Miss Kugler, our athletic director. ef' U Q SPORTSMAN SHIP Top: The Athletic Council listens eagerly as Fran explains the plans for Posture Week.

Woman's education should give her the moral vigor that gives resilience to the deli- cate qualities that distinguish her and direct, while increasing, her power of love and devotednessf' Her destiny is not to acquire a superiority over man, for that would deprive her of all the graces of her nature. God intended woman to be the helpmate of man and to lead her family to the fulfillment of their destiny, which is God. Ursuline education seeks to give back to woman the Catholic sense of duty and the will to accom- plish it. We are taught to avoid deceit and to love truth and light. Because a woman, in order to fulfill the qualities of her nature, should be rich in thoughtfulness, attentive in delicate care, and the essence of hospitality, we are given opportunities to entertain and to plan social functions. Feminine ease and grace are gained through our dramatic productions and musical programs. The Children of Mary gives Our Lady as a model to those who wish to be a leaven in society and many opportunities to do more than the ordinary. As our chaplain so beautifully expressed it, the holier a woman is, the more she is a woman. The possession of God is the source of our happiness, for the measure and quality of joy is that of the good possessed. joy cannot be separated from charity, in fact, joy is an effect of charity. The woman who is able to realize the joy of a pure conscience, of admiring the good in others, and of realizing the presence of God will learn to notice and enjoy all that is good and beautiful in life. This is the Catholic wife and mother who gives joy to her home, is an edification to her friends, and renders her whole-hearted devotion to God. 78 1 s ffl A f wg, I -,,nui u' A'M ' . ,,,.

The Freshmen pledged themselves to these ideals in an impressive ceremony held during the fall semester. As each member of the Freshman Class stepped forward to light her candle from the tapers held by the Seniors, she was reminded of the flaming zeal with which she should spread knowledge, the burn- ing love she has for God and all mankind, and the torch of faith which she will carry forever. This symbolism was explained to them by Becky Simmons, when she welcomed them into the student body. Teresa Moser gave an account of the life of Saint Ursula, patroness of the Ursuline Order and the mod- el of every Ursuline student. The characteristics which form the basis of Ursuline education were explained by Sharlene Ahnert. The Senior Class President, Peg- gy Hill, expressed the feelings of all the students in congratulating the Freshmen and in wishing them every joy and grace during their high school years. Judy Abright, the Freshman President, gave the response promising the class's loyalty to Ursuline. A group of Seniors light the candles of the Freshmen as a symbol of their admittance into the Student Body.

Y Cecelia Getz as Lady Lucas brings the latest gossip from Netherfield. The best of our dramatic ability was developed in the Senior production of Pride and Prejudice, the play based on jane Austenis novel. Mr. H. Bush Morgan, our director, brought five of his students from Woodrow Wilson High School to play the male roles. All the characters were well cast from the flighty mother to her five eligible daughters and the pleasing young men. Every moment of the play brought emotional response from the audience-laughter at the endless round of love troubles, sympathy for the poor father during his wife's self- pitying tears, and joy when the daughters were well-married. November 23 was the first of three nightly performances to packed houses. It was not only the stars of the play, but all those who worked behind the scenes and contributed so ener- 8 ously of their time and effort that made this year's production the success that it was. The scheming mother, Winnie Kanouse, loses no time in matching her daughters with the eligible young men from Neth- erfield. 83 Most adorable of creatures, mine!

The moment of great excitement came with the crowning of the Queen. Although her identity and that of her attendants had to that moment been secret, the applause that greeted Gabr' ll . ie a Veleba, the Queen, as well as Pat Towns and Winnie Kan- ouse, her attendants, showed unanimous approval. As the strains of Tender! b y rought the evening to a reluctant close, all knew that our Snow Ball had added much to our holiday joy.

A GELA'S OD LITY . . . a most important organization in the grade school department of the Academy has as its purpose to foster in its members the spirit of St. Angela's simplicity, which in her, was a singleness of purpose in doing God's Will in her daily life. This Sodality comprises four committees: The Guards of St. Angela, whose aim is to dignify the individual, especially the girl, whose Baptism raises her to a child of God. The Heralds of St. Angela aim to dignify the home, the foundation of society. While the Cadets of St. Ursula have as their special project to dignify society in and about the school by cooperating as school officers. Cadets of St. Angela try to dignify society away from the school through active, Christ- like living and teaching by example and by word. Upper left: The Sodality Council with the Moderators.

CHILDRE of MARY . . . dedicate themselves to the cause of Mary through the special way of life that they adopt. The sodalist gives glo- ry to God, deepens her spir- ituality to become a courag- eous Catholic woman, and acts as a leaven among her companions. In Mary she sees a Mother to be admired and imitated, a Mother who will be with her throughout her life and at the hour of death. Students who desire to be admitted into this purely spir- itual organization serve two probation periods and are ad- vanced from aspirants to as- sociate members. Final ad- mission as a Child of Mary is granted after passing suc- cessful periods of probation and after receiving approval from the Sodality Council. In the formal reception cer- emony each newly admitted member places a white flower symbolic of her dedication on the altar of Our Lady. Then she takes the promises in the presence of all her classmates and the Director gives her the Sodality medal. With true joy in her heart she joins fellow Sodalists in the Magnificat.

OUR RINGS One of the fondest memories which will always remain in our hearts is that of Senior Ring Ceremony. This occasion, one of Ursuline's oldest traditions, marked us as true Ursuline girls. The all-important day began with Mass in the chapel. Father Groeneger blessed our rings transforming them into holy symbols rather than mere ornaments. In his sermon Father impressed upon us the deep significance and tremendous responsibility which will be ours after graduation. At Mass we felt united with a spiritual bond of purpose and life-long love. Early evening found us clad in white caps and gowns kneeling before the statues of St. Angela and St. Ursula. Reverend Mother led us in a hymn and prayer to the Holy Spirit and to our holy patrons. The ceremony itself was lovely and inspirational in its beautiful solemnity. Reverend Mother's address gave us many thoughts which will be both a remembrance and a guide each time we look at our rings. The traditional symbols of the ring are the lily of purity, the palm of victory, the sword and armor of strength and loyalty, the torch of religion. A living Faith is outlined by the cross, and the book is the book of knowledge and of understanding of things human and divine. The letters R-I-N-G represent a way of life, a plan for the future. The R sym- bolizes the central force of our lives, Religion, and the accompany- ing duty to Refemble Christ. The I is for the Integrity which we can obtain by Imitafing our Blessed Mother. Through Nobilily and its sister virtues we can Nourifla our souls and bodies to Greatzzerr and strength of character. When we live up to these standards, our lives will Clarify God. After receiving our rings, we pledged ourselves to live according to Ursuline standards, to lead lives of loyalty, courtesy and courage. After singing Beautiful Ursuline we proceeded to the chapel where we consecrated ourselves to Mary, ' X our Heavenly Mother. . . One in prayer . . . the Seniors beg their patrons to keep the ideals emblazoned on their rings-alive in their hearts. Against the background of the enlarged symbols of the Ursuline ring-shield, swords, torch, book, cross, lilies, and palms--Claudette Barbazon radiantly receives her much desired ring. 88 ' f 'Hi- Reverend Mother explains the significance of the Ursuline ring while twenty-five Seniors wait with eager antiripufion.

DOORWAY FAMILY ,F A K 74 SPIRIT I t0 ' DEVOTEDNESS I will go unto the altar of God. In our residence hall and in our school, we have found the ideal family life of the Catholic home. The title, Mother, is given every Ursuline for she is a spiritual mother and we, their children in Christ. Each class has its own sponsor, for the personal Contact of the mother with each of her children is an essential element of the traditional method of the Ursulines. She is ready to advise and guide her girls and to give personal help if it is desired. Through organizations we acquire a sense of responsibility which develops our maturity of mind and character. We are prepared, by careful training, to become excellent religious or competent mothers of families, for we have learned what a young girl, a wife, and a mother, according to the heart of God, should be. But all is not com- pleted when the pupils graduate. The alumnae sponsors activities to protect and increase Ursuline's guiding influence over their graduates. Devotedness is our doorway to sanctity, for the devoted woman foresees the needs of everyone and seeks her happiness in that of others. Because she is devoted, she is atten- tive, virtuous, and confident in God. She will bring God into the family and re-Christian- ize society. 90 Eiga 6 va ff mf it 1. 4 hx 'im ' Wwcm. f 1wv,.'x,,.:.L qW,.,.... .f-anvil' .-fvuunwllvi' faq 3 iw W' A ,,.,,,.4ai' x HOME Past and Present A Chinese home with up-turned roof an l h i ' ' ' ' ' ' t te dignified, tolonaded, Grecian domicile are displayed hy Virginia Mar- shall. judy Weerl, Pat Kennedy, Iudy Abright.

The day begins with assistance at holy Mass and closes with the recitation of the family rosary. Besides the spiritual and scholastic formation, the students participate in a bal- anced program of family living. Supervised television programs, talent entertainment in the parlor, birthday parties, healthful exercise and outdoor games are some of the forms of recreation enjoyed by the girls.

Our teachers and counselors instruct us in the art of living, as well as in that of thinking correctly. They impress on us by their example the necessity of becom- ing fervent and zealous Catholic women. During our school life we are trained for the lay apostolate through such organizations as the Social Service Club and the Red Cross Club. Instructing the West Dallas children in catechism, helping at Saint Paul's Hospital, contributing money and prayers to the missions' cause, and filling boxes for Europe are our means to a richer Christian life. We are encouraged to be active in parish work as a preparation for our future responsi- bilities. As Christ gave His life on Calvary, as He gives His life in the Mass, so we devote our free time to giving service to His poor, His afflicted and oppressed. We have found true happiness in giving this service to others and in the realization that we are all members of the Mystical Body of Christ. By learning to adapt ourselves to a variety of circum- stances, we strive to become intelligently sympathetic young women ready to do Christ's work for society.

The activity and noise of booths being constructed and decorated, posters being hung, and talent show rehearsals held in the music room climaxed weeks of planning and hard work. The carnival itself was a huge success. Pushing our way through the crowded halls, it was easy to see that the booths were doing an ever increasing business. The Cake Walk, Novelty Booth, and Country Store reported continuous crowds while nearly everyone paused to try the test your skill games or stopped for a snack at the Sweete Shoppe. The dinner constituted an important part of everyones evening. Complete with atmos- phere provided by the Spanish decorations and a Spanish singing duo, the Mexican Dinner was wonderful in every way. Our special thanks go to Mr. Kubala for preparing the food and to everyone who helped to serve it. Strictly for entertainment were the movies shown every hour, the Fun House, and the popular Talent Show. Our many hours of soliciting, selling, and collecting and advertzsing came to a happy conclusion as we sent the Missions our biggest Valentine-553,100.00 .X ir -ri' The joy felt in our hearts is reflected on our faces as we, the Seniors of 1955, pose with our sponsor, Mother Dolores Marie. It is only through her tireless efforts in our behalf that we had such a memorable senior year. Her way is one of uniting kindness with firmness, vigilance with discretion, and zeal with prudence. Mothers maternal care and wonderful sense of humor saw us through the difficulties we encountered. We will especially remember the thought and devotion she put into such senior activities as closed retreat, Ring Ceremony, and Class Day. The traditional beauty of May Day is due largely to her careful planning and attention to details. Of course, we on the staff could not possibly recount the numerous hours she so generously spent with us working on the annual. Although we will never be able to repay her devotion, she will always be remem- bered in our prayers. II2 To our patrons, whose generosity has enabled ns to pnblish this yearbook, we wish to extend our sincere gratitude. May God reward them with a full life and eternal happiness.

All around us twinkling lights decorated the trees and flashed their invitation to fun. Ascending the pink and silvered staircase, the Seniors viewed for the first time the secret work of the juniors. The ballroom was like a dream with a fairy queen emerging from clouds of angel hair at one end. She pointed her magic wand to the theme of the Prom, Some Eizrbtmfed Ezwzizzg, which was written in shining letters on the mirror, On the windows angel hair was again used in nebulous folds caught up by silver stars. Entwining the lights were beautiful beads which lent an air of elegance as the couples danced beneath them, Standing candel- abra which were lit during thc last dance gave the finishing touch to the artistic decorations, Jimmy joys orchestra played the favorite songs listed on the programs as the couples exchanged dances with one another. After the intermission, the traditional Grand March was held, ending in the Officers' Dance. Too soon thc melody of I'll See You In My Dreamr, was heard and the Seniors cheiishing happy memories bade their gracious hostesses goodnight.

SHAKE PEARE NIGHT JUNIOR SHAKESPEAREAN NIGHT-The main project of the Junior Speech Class this year was their delightful presentation of portions of three Shakespearean plays, The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Othello, Not only did such a production afford the girls an opportunity to try their hand at Shakespearean acting, but also, it was an excellent manner in which to acquaint the rest of the school with the dramas that have been thrilling audiences for centuries. Many compliments honoring the Juniors and their directoress, Miss Jean Henry, were heard at the close of the evening because of their highly entertaining portrayals and their mature grasp of the significance behind the immortal words penned by William Shakespeare. Much credit was due to the girls who took care of setting the stage and also to Kathleen McRedmond, Josephine Gallerano, and Betty Pringle who gave a short summary of each of the presentations before they were staged.
