FROM THEEditor's Mailbox

Dear Editor:During the past few weeks, I've noticed our "dramatic songbirds" looking | a little harassed. Thereasonafternoon an d evening 4play practices andGlee Club rehearsals 1 1At the same time, injustice was seen smilingsmugly as Mrs. Dolce, Miss Kelly, and the girlsInvolved all [grasped for the twenty-fifth hour ofa twenty-four hour day. It doesn't seemjfair, comeevery spring, that these people are called p uponto give so much above and beyond the call of duty.Suggested solutions might very well be the following. If the whole Glee Club period were utilizedduring the school year (members be on time!),perhaps some of the extra rehearsals might be eliminated. Another J remedy could be the students'choice in the fall between Glee Club and the Dramatic Society. Between the Athletic Associationand^the Dramatic Society this has worked successfully. The diminution that would result |l n bothorganizations could be used to advantage in creating two more active groups.Action should be taken now while the fulleffects of the strain of additional practices is atits peak. Procrastination comes easy in leisure falldays. Why can't the "Spring Nightmare" that weall dread become an enjoyable, early "Mid-Summer Night's Dream?" 3JI Respectfully,A student

'As I Am Thine Own Communism has conquered one-third of mankind and changed the face of the earth.Union and other political meetings rarely occur without communists in attendance. They areeverywhere, always watching for an opportunity tospread their propaganda, to influence others totheir way of thinking. For them, this is a greatwork, a full-time job. to which they give them

selves wholeheartedly. Their time, energies, andefforts are dedicated, "consecrated" to the spreading of their hateful, destructive doctrine. No sacrifice is too great; th e "cause" motivates them withzeal and fervor. In them, the devil has foundapostles willing to help him ruin human souls.Counter-attackBut where are Mary and Christ's apostles whoshould be counter-attacking with love? They areall* too few who really know and realize what trueconsecration to Our Lady means. Genuine consecration is not just the reading of some formula ofprayer ,oi the mere recitation of fixed phrases.litgoes much, much deeper and amounts J to nothingless than to a complete remodeling of our innerheart and our outward life. LMary's ministerStemming from a deep love of the Mother ofGod. it finds its crowning expression in the So-dalist's Act of Consecration. Pope Pius XII hassaid, "Consecration to the Mother of God in theSodality is an entire gift of oneself, throughoutlife and for all eternity . . . it makes the Sodalistthe minister of Mary . . . her visible hands onearth . . ." ',

m

It is thisjlove, this magnificent.,obsession whichought to motivate the Sodalist to give her timeand energy to make sacrifices so j tha t she I ma ybring about a *transformationback to God. It requires the same; unselfish dedication th at is seenin the Communist. But how much more wonderfulis this consecration to love!This month, Mary's month, the Probationers willbe received .into the Sodality and will be asked tomake the Act of Consecration,jto give themselvesto her cause. If it is done in the spirit of willingness to serve her and to save souls from destruction,then the deviTfimd his communist advocates willcertainly have a fight on their hands!

Liz Wahl: I'd love to write. Prom having a similarpublication in my high school. I know that abehind- the-scenes tone goes over with thestudents. 1Phyllis Narby: I don't think that there will be participation without assignments. Why not choosea definite staff to organize the publication?Joan Coyle: I like the idea of no deadline; thewriting can be done at a convenient time.Ann Delany: Those who do not feel competent towrite for the formal publications might beglad to try their hands at informal writingand discover real talent!Kay Cooper: Cooperation between day studentsand residents could be strengthened.Maureen Hammond: A publication of this typewould overcome a limitation of space and aI special style necessary for formal writing.Joanne Schmalzried: I think the girls would co operate with a spirit of attentiveness neededto catch happenings around the school.Mary Bacon: The students will be quick to recognize a place for expression and developmentof abilities.
