large attendance at meeting card party to provide $1678
Always a glorious page in Notre Dame annuals is the one devoted to the FRIENDS OF NOTRE DAME whose success grows with the years. Their
remarkable record of achievement affects the life of every Notre Dame girl.
The ranks of outstanding workers were thinned by the untimely death of Mrs. William Kotrc (upper left) who neared a silver-studded anniversary of selfless devotion to the organization. For many years as chairman of the change sales, she had an irresistible appeal to donors. The 1958-59 officers: Vice-President Mrs. Martin Swift, Secretary Mrs. John Newell, President Mrs. R. F. Slizewski, and Treasurer Mrs. John Cavlovic (below, left to right) compare notes before the January meeting. With the board members they arranged for entertaining and informative programs for their monthly meetings, such as the talk on "Nutrition" given by Dr. James VaVerka (bottom of page). Their special aim of large attendance at meetings was realized. On February 5 they led the Friends in an amazingly successful benefit card party to provide $1678 for the academy's science fund.
FRESHMEN stand ready to meet new challenges. Judy Cisar Vice —President

Sodality officers and moderator plan the Friday meeting at their weekly Wednesday gathering (above). Their devoted and untiring efforts toward arranging practical and interesting agenda give dynamic impetus to original skits, panels, group discussions, and reports. The council consists of the above pictured senior sodalists and two junior counsellors, Marlene Mickells and Carol Rezek. From left (standing): Rosalee Burke, recording secretary; Judy Ruda, corresponding secre— tary; Judy Remar, treasurer; (seated) Terese Binder, prefect; Frances Ingram, vice prefect; and Sr. M.

Guest speaker at the sodality reception ceremonies was the Rev. Thomas R. Halley, 5.1., archdiocesan director of sodalities. As a significant tribute to the closing centennial of Mary's apparitions at Lourdes, Father Halley directed attention to the beautiful analogy between St. Bernadette and a sodalist of Mary.
Forty-seven girls approached the altar after Mass on January 23 to pledge themselves to their Queen under the glorious title of her Immaculate Conception and to receive the sodality medal.
Witticism yet depth, practicality but fundamentalism, are perhaps most Characteristic of the oratorical ability of Rev. Jason Kommer, OFM, of St. Augustine's Friary in Chicago, who conducted the students' retreat from January 2’7 to 29. Attention at the conferences and the observance of silence were indicative of the retreatants' sincerity and the retreat master's unanimous
acceptability.

The call to order of campus organizations this year brought responses from three new clubs. A Junior Red Cross unit, the Safe Teen Council, and the Blessed Alix Chapter of the National Honor Society gained permanent place on the Academy club roster. Red Cross activities occupied much of the time and interest of the unit's sixty mem— bers. Juniors Cathy Pazderka, Judy Kostka, and Rita Alba (left) attended inter—city meetings as a preparation to assume responsibility of student leadership next year. Making favors for hospitals, entertaining patients, and filling gift boxes for overseas gave members the satisfaction of service for others. Nancy Morrissey, Patty Pawoll, Mary Smith, Olivia Guerra, and Theresa Lacz complete inspecting and packing boxes for foreign relief.

Forty—eight drivers compose the SAFE TEEN Council, Chapter 64, at NDA. They were awarded a trophy for drawing the largest attendance to the Safe Teen Safety Exhibit held at Brandeis Store from October 19 to 25. Receiving the award from Mrs. Otto Denker and Chief of Police Harold Ostler are Shirley
Moravec, Rita Smolla, Judy Remar, Diane Hayeks, and Karen Masters. Shirley served as contributing editor on the staff of the Safe Teen Booklet. l
Dame Fashion put her best foot forward for the sodality fall revue, as autumn's crisp, gay air whizzed colorful leaves and golden acorns, a variety of gourds and selected grapes from comucopias resting upon the luncheon tables. These seasonal decorations and charming, gracious models attracted a capacity crowd exceeding four hundred. Among the first to pass the testing techniques for acceptable models was Patty Pawoll (center). Sodality selectors included Judy Remar, Terese Binder, Frances Ingram, and Judy Ruda.

Other gifted beauties representing the classmen as models in the fashion revue were JoAnne Kudlacek, upper Georgia Cubrich, Patti Simunaci, Patty Pawoll, Olivia Guerra, Bonnie Rolf, and Joan Newell. Proceeds from this event were used to boost the science fund and help finance the officers' attendance of the Summer School of Catholic Action in Chicago.

Deep thought, extensive reading, plus the gift of writing combined to place Terese Binder (left) among "Opportunities for Writers" winners twice. Her humorous essay, "Hidden Values," merited Honorable Mention in December and a satirical essay, "Americans and Advertising," brought her the grand prize of $25 in February. The highest achievement a student can reach in her scholastic career is membership in the National Honor Society. To gain admission to this select society she must fulfill point quotas in scholarship, leadership, character, and service.

Saturday, April 25, found members of the Notre Dame Alumnae Association holding their annual dinner at their alma mater (upper left). As is true every year, this reunion was as much fun for the graduates of yesteryears as to the forty-one seniors who were entertained and inducted into the association. An anniversary, by its very nature, is a time of retrospection. For the silver jubilee class (upper right) this annual get-together was the occasion to review twenty-five years of events. Present to represent the class of 1934 were Mmes. Margaret Sinnott, Francis Menousek, Frank Follett, Wilmer Poshusta, and William Lawton.
Planning the event were the officers: (left) Mrs. Frank Prazan, secretary; Mrs. Joseph Beveridge, vice president; Sr. M. Dorothy de N. D., moderator; Mrs. William Skupa, treasurer; and Miss Helen Pluhacek, president. This avid group of workers led the alumnae in many accomplishments. Their most ambitious projects were the card party for science equipment and the inauguration of a teacher—education fund. 59
