.jshafory of fha C aaa 0 1951 All the world is a stage on which each and every one of us plays an important part. As with all per- formances, the true significance of our lives can only be seen when the final curtain has fallen and the house-lights have faded. Ours is no ordinary perform- ance because its theme is of the supernatural. The first act of this eventful drama concerns the history of the class of '5l. The curtain rises. On an immense stage there are 3 rotating rings. Each represents a season. As the lst ring comes to a stop, we see that it is adorned with multitudinous shades of autumn-red, yellow, green, orange. There are various tableaux going on within its circum- ference, one of which appears to be a ceremony. Be- fore a statue of the Sacred Heart, forty-one fervent girls are making an act of consecration. All about them the leaves are changing, dying, and falling from the trees. But nature's death is but a background for the birth of a militant spirit in the hearts of these young and inexperienced girls. As this tableau dis- appears, another takes its place. The setting is a bazaar, the mood is excitement. The wheel of for- tune spins, the auctioneers shout their wares-the prevailing cry is Buy a chance. The militant spirit has truly embedded itself in the hearts of our forty young girls. But they are not alone. On one side of the ring, a picnic is taking place, on the other side, a formal tea. At both these functions, older and wiser girls are giving them a friendly hand and saying welcome to Ursuline. At the back of the ring is an immense volley-ball court. Frantic cries of, Look out, Ann and Hit it, Rita resound in the air, as the ball is propelled across the net by the anxious hands of some of our friends. Then, they say the prayer that comes 'before every big game-a prayer to our Lady that the best team will win. After a time, one girl is singled out by the others as a fitting leader for this group of athletes. Thus, Ann Martin becomes the head of the Athletic Association. There are three more exciting events taking place in the ring. The first, a beautiful pageant concerning the beauty of the Rosary in the famous battle of Lepanto, is acted out with becoming spirit and ability by almost all the forty-one girls. The second event is perhaps the most impressive tableau of all. It is the ring ceremony, a triumphant procession of indi- viduals who indeed begin to resemble the graduating class of '5l. The gold band is a symbol of the fidelity which they will always owe to the school. As each one receives a ring, her determination to live up to the standards of the school is as stalwart as the sturdy oaks outside whose leaves have all deserted them. The third event is an excellent play on the life of Saint Francis Xavier, with Ann Brassington in the title role. The season begins to shift. The last events of the fall are the lighting of the Advent wreath by Rita Dempsey, president of the senior class, and a pageant on the virtues of Mary in honor of the Christmas season. Fall slowly passes out of sight and is replaced by the second ring, which is larger than the first and decorated in the serenity of white. White is the color of sincerity. Sincerity is the spirit of the winter sea- son. A fiting instance of this can be found in a class- room of the Ursuline school, where a Sodality meet- ing is taking place, and, as usual, some important event is being planned. Today, it happens to be a magazine drive, tomorrow, perhaps a visit to an orphanage, next week, a panel on vocations. The great amount of apostolic work accomplished by this small group that make up Our Lacly's Sodality is astounding. The president, Marie Quigley, is a line example of the sincere sodalist of Our Lady. As this scene fades out of sight, a gigantic bulletin board bedecked with various notices comes into view. There are posters advertising two religious plays- Roses of Mexico and Angela of Brescia. A huge parchment in the center reads: Come one, come all, to the jubilee Ball! Each clam will reprerent a country. Thir if the Holy Year of Jnhileef' One can imagine, as she reads on, all the exhilarating spirit and united fervor that will make up this Holy Year celebration. Again we look to the back of the ring. There has been a magic transformation. Instead of a volley-ball net, two baskets are nailed at either end of the gym- nasium. A small, huddled group, dressed in blue gymnasium suits and bearing their shamrock insignia, are saying one last prayer before the whistle blows to announce the beginning of the last Saint Patrick's Day basketball game they will ever play. The whole school is tensely waiting. The whistle blows. Again the cheers resound: We have Ann Martin and Peggy Harrold, and we alto have Eileen McGrath. We have Gaynor anal Clayre Brerlin too . . . All at once, it is all over. The victorious Seniors celebrate their success by dancing and singing around the gymnasium. This is a moment never to be for- gotten. But now it is Lent, and the mood deepens. A reali- zation that the time is running short makes our friends even more appreciative of the excellent panels on vocations given by Sodality during the Holy Sea- son. The winter ring begins to shift, and Easter is in the immediate future. Spring appears bedecked in beautiful pastels. The joy with which one greets an old friend is similar to the joy we feel on seeing the return of Spring. The joy of the Resurrected Christ is united to the joy of the season, as some of the forty-one decorate the gymnasium during the Easter vacation. We see Nina Iannotti, staunchly aided by Betty Ann Q Continued on Page 44D
