"Take this Child and make Him grow." This commission of our Lady announced the apostolate of all Notre Dame Sisters. It was their aim, the object of their zeal for fifty-seven years in Czechoslovakia, and it guided them to a new field of endeavor-America.

Battling Omaha's worst driving weather in several years, these dependable workmen made the daily trips without a single mishap. The sound of a starting motor at 5:15 and 6:15 each morning clearly indicated that the buses were enroute, first to carry the drivers to daily Mass and Communion, and then to pick up their chattering load. Besides Operation Bus, Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Byrnes deftly manage the engineering, building maintenance, chauffeuring, and campus upkeep.

During her two years at the post, Sister M. Dolores, principal, has introduced many progressive changes in the scholastic set-up. To her delight Irene Chileski shows happy surprise at the realization that her grades are on the honor roll level. School membership in the National Honor Society and the distribution of Service Points are among Sister's contributions to the school program. An unbelievable increase in reading skill has developed as a result of the Reading Program she has established with the change to oral book reports. "Did I really pore over all those books?" wonders astonished Sharon Olson, who accumulated the greatest number of reading points in the first semester. The pride and joy of Sister Dolores is centered in the scholastic achievements of those she
calls "my girls."
Creative writers are those who have dis— covered many of the myriads of ways to express a thought. Freshmen Marlene Laughlin, Judy Cornelius, Shirley Gre— dys, Dorothy Kelly, and Dorothy Hanus test their originality by describing the statue of the Sorrowful Mother.

SOCIAL STUDIES
—
to develop extensive interests To understand the present in terms of the past is the goal of so— ciology and a key to good citizenship. Ancient history and current events have a way of overlapping and interweaving which opens a world of interest to history students. Mrs. Michael Tynan, instructor in social studies, radiates her love of the humanities in her classroom work.
Map work is a favorite assignment in history class circles, and the knowledge of those locations is so very important to the understanding of foreign affairs. The setting of their new chapter is the concern of historians Marie Alice Ostry, Linda Finken, Donna Harrington, and Louise Matteo. Because of their diligent application, the members of the world history class have reached the National Average Median Score for students of world affairs. For these avid readers of "Every Week," a current events publication, this achievement is a rewarding one.

The Seniors Own
The "specialness" of crisp white caps and gowns offset by the excited pink of grad—
uates' cheeks spells commencement in anyone's books. The Class of '60 made some first in N.D. history, for they inau— gurated the wearing of blue tassels on the traditional caps, and they are the only Class to have graduated off—campus. To accommodate the increasing number of guests, the commencement exercises were held at St. Philip Neri Church on June 3. Pat Barnett, Rosemary Gregurich, Barbara McGinn, JoAnn Cich, and Dorothy Vanicek enjoy their last minutes as school chums before the initial strains of "Pomp and Circumstance." The beautifully engraved invitations and their individual name cards are responsible for the proud smiles of Bernetta Mines and Patricia Pawoll. The members of the "18 Club" boast of a dis— tinction. Catherine Pazderka, Virginia Opitz, Patty Ben, and Bernadette Fedorczyk were the first seniors to turn eighteen, and celebrated the occasion by becoming Red Cross blood donors. With childhood behind and full lives ahead, graduates see com— mencement in its true meaning: "the be— ginning."
Through the Alumnae Association graduates remain long in the thoughts and prayers of their teachers and friends. Jubilarians find that after twentyfive years the Notre Dame spirit, the Sisters and their classmates really have not changed at all. The members of the Class of '35 present at the banquet were: Marie Novak Maixner, Sister Mary Gemma Uhlik, Lil Anne Pluhacek, Mildred Sheda Behounek, Mary Gertrude Parle Zimmer, Marie Buglewicz Connelly, Ann Brazka Lankas, Pat 0'— Connor Doyle, Agnes Kotera, Marie Machan Nowotny, and Helen Roza Kawa.
