An October school day, a Christmas play, the tradi- tional St. Francis de Sales ban- quet, stooge week, the Spring Exhibition, and graduation are but some of the activities which tread these cherished halls and walks. They have seen the seniors come as frivolous fresh- men and depart as mature Christian women. They have experienced all the changes which come with time. Yet, their spirit has remained unchanged. Theirs is still a spirit of joy, anxiety, disappointments, successes, hope and prayer. Theirs is the spirit of Mount de Sales. ; _ =! ae = 7 7 _ ~ : a & . : * P -x " 7, > 4 - : a = + | - . - : a > * : v rai 2" : 7 5 - = * 2 : > y: | ; - a a ~~ eI od <> ob - - - > e - . 5 * may om he NUS 14 Walks Calk Contents YA oe ene CLASSES ACTIVITIES - = ee ee ee et re ee ee ee eee SK ee ee Se ee ee ewe ee aa aa ee ee eee of those -ducational principles are based on Christian and Democratic ideals.

Meeting the requirements of char- acter, scholarship, leadership, and service, four members of the Sen- ior Class qualified for membership in the National Honor Society. Their applications being approved by the Faculty, they received mem- bership in Our Lady of Mercy Chapter in February. Miss Mount de Sales f With the approval of the Faculty and with the vote of the Junior and the Senior classes, Jennie Lou Yarbrough was named Miss Mount de Sales. This title is awarded to a member of the Senior class who has been outstanding during her four years of high school. Throughout her sojourn at the Mount, Jennie Lou has played an out- standing role in extra-curricular activities and has evidenced leadership and loyalty when cooperating with various school projects. Besides being president of the Athletic Association, she is also a member of the Salesian Staff, the Sodality, the Dramatic Club, the Glee Club, and the C.S.M.C. in which she has held several offices. Truly, campus halls and walks talk of Miss Mount de Sales. Alumnae Association Mary Barker, 54, is welcomed into the ranks of the Alumnae Association by her mother, Mrs. Mary McKenna Barker, 25. In its aim to promote Catholic education and Catholic action, the Alumnae Association of Mount de Sales Academy has been most successful during the fifty-three years of its existence. Among its ranks are many graduates who have answered the call to a higher life, the religious state. Most of its members have become engaged in the apostolate of the home by rearing Christian fam- ilies while others have pursued professional careers. Regardless of vocation, all have gone forth with the Christian ideals placed before them while students at the Mount. Having gathered in the faculty room in order to make plans for the Alumnae tea to be given in May are the Associa- tions officers: Miss Jeanne Sheridan, Secretary Mrs. Rita Garvin Thigpen, President; Miss Mary Alice Garvin, Treasurer; and Mrs. Bernadette Ken- nington Camerio, Vice President.
