j CCOn1fimzed from Page 295 Ann Martin, Lois Ann Waters and Anne Harmon. These girls have distin- guished themselves in the pursuit of the more cultural aspects of life. Kathleen, who dramatizes Shakespeare, gets excellent reviews from Ellen Marie, editor of the New York Times, who is also taking care of subscription fees because of her excellent experience. Ann Martin has turned author, writing books with a maximum of thirty pages. Lois Ann and Anne Harmon have distinguished themselves in the aft field, their main subject being Ann Brasingtonls finger- nails. Ann, by the way has just patented her newest invention, the emory board, which she finds very helpful. I then saw Melita Flynn, who, thinking the world needed reform, devoted her life to a new religious order. Among her aspirants are Eileen McGrath, who decided one plain gold band on a finger was sufficient, Patricia Murphy, who finds the late risng of the order a great convenience, and Pat Hine, who teaches English alternately between Notre Dame and Penn. U. I noticed Carla Dembow, one of the ten best dressed women in the United States, strolling over to talk to Pat Cronin, Peggy Crosson, Virginia Gannon and Maureen Kraft. Pat Cronin, as you probably have heard, just invented an automatic arm that closes doors. Peggy Crosson has won fame as a photog- rapher, her subject being almost exclusively of Ginger Gannon in various swimming races. Maureen, it is rumored, is completing plans for a new museum in which all types of I.D. bracelets shall be displayed. Incidentally, Nina Iannotti, the renowned couturier, designs all Carla's clothes. Gaynor Burris, Marie Quigley, and Mary Agnes Fitzgerald, at another table, were engaged in what looked to be a very serious conversation. Gaynor just finished making a new picture, The Charlstonf, Marie, of course, took care of the records used as background music, while Mary Agnes added a bit of classification when she sang, Her Feetls Too Big For The Bed. As I was just reaching my table, I encountered Mary Louise Atkinson, who told me she had just finished making a new pair of shoes for Joan Rodriquez. They are called Air Step. I hear Joan is very happy because her feet were never the same after walking from 206 to Mother Anne Mariels room so often. Helen Dunne came rushing up at that moment to ask Mary Lou to appear on her quiz show as a Japanese soldier. At last I reached my table, at which were seated Barbara Brophy, Pat McGuire, and janet Kirby. Barbara, an army wife, and Pat, a navy wife were very happily expiating on their military life. Janet, the first woman of Wash- ington, has just closed the social season with one of her magnificent parties. just then I heard a voice paging Clayre Breslin. I looked up and saw my husband, the M. C. of the day, beckoning to me. The doors of the Cafe are closing now to the people outside, but the laughter and spirit of the class of '51 still drifts through. , so

fave p X, r jill!! T ECL CUQCQ Seventy-five dollars and a truck-two small items and yet, they meant so much to us three weeks before the Tea Dance. Dates- Dresses-hats-mad rushing about-the result-a successful dance with everyone arriving with a tall dark in handsome beau. The class of '51 just can't be beat! The proceeds, which totaled three hundred and twenty-six dollars were presented by the senior class to the school. We thank Nina Iannotti, chairman, Jeanne Kaestner, chairman of refreshments and Adelaide Ryan, chairman of decorations for making this dance such a success. e 1 ' illll flux lk CAI i15fIfl'LCl5i Wag It is the custom each year for the Senior Class to present a play to the entire student body before the dismissal for the Christmas holidays. This year's play dealt with the sequence of events preceding Christ's birth and was climaxed by a nativity scene. This scene had a particular significance, since a represen- tative from each class in the school placed at the Christ Child's feet all the sacrifices and good works which had been per- formed during advent. Such a dramatization emphasized to all the true meaning of Christmas . . . Christ reborn. 49 IN Cf M ll? ll

gl CL6!lfLCLfl0l'l, We were now prepared. After four years of careful and loving guidance, each girl, a vision in white, marched up for her diploma, marched up with a full realization that she was a child of God, ready to take her place in the world, ready to face the future. Each girl expressed a prayer of thanks: To God, our Heavenly Father, who gave us the privilege of embracing a Catholic and Apostolic education, To our teachers, who sacrificed their lives to bring us this education, and especially to our parents, who provided un- ceasingly for this education. We know that with Mary, our guiding light, our vision of the true meaning of Christ crucified will never be dulled.
