The Most Rev. Daniel Mannix, D.D. , LLD.
To the Girls of 1963, This J ear has been a very eventful one. I mportant developments oi all kinds have taken place in the world, and although we may not realize it, each of us is affected by them. 0 f special interest to us as Catholics is the S econd Vatican Ecamenical Council, now in its second session. 1
In their exhortations, both in Rome at the Council and in their dio ceses, there is, perhaps, nothing which the Bishops stress more emphatically at the present time than the need for an apostolic spirit nrnong the lait y. So those wo rld affairs which 11W J :seem remote are your affair. As a Christian. you must concern yourself with the salvation of other people. Your Catholic faith is not a treasure which you must keep to yourself. Y Oll mnst share it with others; you must show its beauty to others nnrl thnt beaut y· is the beaut y of Christ shining in your life. Tha~ means that the principles of Christ. which were taught to 1·on dnrin g this and other years, must be yonr principles. 1
S o. 11w y the blessing of Christ and His hol y Mother be with each one of you, helping you to lead others to them , and ma y they bless with tru ? success the futur e years of those of yon who are leaving school this year.

WARBURTON The Matr iculation girls were curious know what was in store for the m when thirteen accej)ted th e in vit ation to a ttend a voca tion wee k a t "Sc hoenstatt". the Pallotin a Father's house a t Milgrove. near Warburton. From th e beg inning it promised to be unuwal for we were told that a bout fifty would be a ttending. but there was accom modation for only thirtytwo. Not daunted by this prospect we a ll turned up at Stud ley Park Road . Kew. at 6.30 p.m .. a nd from th e re we were taken by private cars to "Schoe nsta tt ". On a rriv a l we fou nd that s ix other co ll eges were represented. but that C. L.C. by far o utnumbered any other. We were welcomed by Fr. Evans a nd introduced to his ass ista nt a nd to th e young girls who were to " look a fter us·'. Then we began orga ni zin g our s leeping quarters - most were acco mmod a te d with stretchers in th e ha ll. but two rooms in the hou se were a lso used. Nine C.L.C. girls s le pt in one room. a nd this is how we did it - two gir ls sle pt in each of the three single beds. a nd three girls sk pt o n a mattress o n the floor; a nd as a n indic a tion of th e s ize of the roo m we th en had no floor space! But we a ll enjoyed this c rowding a nd were env ied by o thers who ha d more space. Durin g th e week we were give n var ious c hores. e.g .. di sh-was hin g or dr yin g. tab le settin g. a nd even sto kin g th e fir es in order to have hot water . Fr. Eva ns gave us talk s eac h day a nd we wou ld then di vide into groups for di sc uss ion . We saw so me ve ry int e restin g a nd inform ative slid es o n th e Mass. Bap tism a nd C onfirm a ti o n. And o ne morning we were fortuna t ·~ e noug h to have a member of a sec ul a r institut e give us a most e nt e rt a inin g a nd e nli ght ening picture of t he Uni ve rsit y. Th e c lim ax of th e wee k was the co ncert arra nged for Thursday ni ght. It cer ta inl y was a variety show for th e it e ms ra nged from a flut e so lo to th e rec itatio n of nurse ry rhyme s! Bu t a fter th e concert nobody had ever see n so many short- sheete d beds. or such large numbers of knotted pyja mas . Th e n some ve ry bright girls (who. by the way. were not so bright next morning) decided that they wouldn't go to bed at a ll. fort ify in g them se lves with bl ack coffee. and at 5 a. m .. co ld bat hs a nd sho wers. By the time the other gir ls were up a t 7 o'c lock . these pale. dark-eyed creaturs were dre ssed a nd had packed their cases. We le ft ·'Schoenstatt'' o n the Friday afte r a very worthwhile week during whi ch time we had met many girls from o ther co lle ges.

RETREATS FORM VI
On the first week-end of the third term the Matrics had their annual retreat which. this year, was held at school and conducted by Rev. Fr. Drury. S.J .. from St. Patrick's College . Each day consisted of a series of five interesting and informative lectures and the celebration of Mass. and concluded in the evening with Benediction. The Retreat was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended and we are most appreciative to Father for both his instructive talks and the humorous and pleasant manner in which they were given. -Anne Murray. FORM V
As a fine beginning to Term 11, the Leavings began their retreat on the first day back at school. For three days they enjoyed this time of peace and communion with God . Father James proved very helpful, so that. at the end of these days, every girl agreed she had profited immensely from them. And though their effect may have dwindled a little since the period immediately following the retreat, yet it has not been entirely dissipated. -Veronica Leach. FORM IV
This year the two Intermediate classes went on retreat in July. lt was the first time for most of the girls and naturally they were very excited (at not having to go to school for a few days). Retreat started with Mass and a lecture from Fr. Evans. Most of the girls thought it would be quite hard to keep silence and probably would get boring, but. in fact. it was quite the opposite. The lectures were interesting, so were some of the questions asked by the girls. and the answers that were given. The time we had for breaks we spent reading. The retreat was a great success and was enjoyed by the girls. -Kristina Margan. FORM Ill On .the tw.elfth of September, the Feast of 'The Holy Name of Mary", Form Ill made their retreat. We looked towards it with, perhaps, a little appreht'!trsion. since for most of us this was to be our first retreat. ]t was very well _planned; we didn 't have enough time to get bored. FatheY:. Austin Cooper, O.M .l., gave us interesting talks in the chapel. and emphasised the need for constant prayer. We celebrated Mass and took an active part in it. Psalms and hymns were sung and we said the proper of the Mass in Latin. After the retreat was over, we resumed our normal timetable, feeling much better for the advice and 'nformation, and for the time to make some extra communication with God. -Mary van Ewyk. page twelve

INTERMEDIATE Y ,C_S. The aim of the Intermediate Y .C.S. is to help the girls be more aware of their responsibilities as Catholic apostles. To help achieve this aim various trips to hospitals, children's homes, Carias Christi Hospice and the Institute for the Blind have been made by the girls, and so we have been given a greater knowledge of what others are doing to spread the faith and living as Catholics should. Our meetings are only half an hour in length but we manage a five minute gospel discussion. after which we resolve to apply it to our daily lives, and the rest of the time is spent in various activities such as interclass basketball matches, indoor games, di scussions and sometimes an impromptu concert. The whole of the Intermediate class belongs to our Y.C.S. and by our membership we hope that we will be better Catholics and more adequately equipped to spread the Kingdom of Christ to the best of our ability .

We were successful in the matches against Our Lady's College, Heidelberg; Presentation Convent , Windsor; and Kilmaine. Unfortunately we were defeated by St. Columba's and Genezzano. Congratulations to these teams! Rain prevented the matches against Sacre Coeur and Siena. but we will meet these schools next year.

C ARITA~
Under the careful and helpful guidance of Sister M . Rita, the Junior Tennis Team had a very successful season. It began with a first-class victory over Our Lady's, Heidelberg. About two weeks later we invited our closest rivals , St. Columba's, to a friendly match . The result was very pleasing for us. After this great victory we were invited to play against Sacre Coeur. but we had to walk nearly all the way as there was a shortage of taxis. For this reason we were narrowly beaten, but the girls showed that they were good losers and made up for the loss by eating a hearty "afternoon tea" . As soon as the next week began the team began practising in earnest as we did not want a recurrence of the defeat we had the week previously. When Sister M . Rita thought that we were ready, we invited Loreto Convent. Here our perseverance had its reward where we outclassed our opponents to win by a great margin. Since this was our last match for the season it was a great send-off. Hope next year's team will be as successful. -Christine Sholly . page twenty-nin e

"HANSEL AND GRETEL" On the 27th of September . Form JV prese nted the operetta. "Hansel and Gretel''. All those who attended the performan ce were delighted with the singin g and acting. I think J am qualified to say that we a ll enjoyed presenting it for our families and friends . The audience later co mmented on the delightful costumes worn in the different scenes. Taking into consideration that we had a comparati vely short time in which to learn the various parts, I can say it was very good. We all agreed that the principal actresses did very well in memorisin g their parts. Karin Coventry, the witch , wa s very frightening and weird. The little girl in the front row evidently thought rn when she gave a frightened cry of horror at the witch 's laugh . Judy Young as Gretel and Barbara Potger as Hansel acted their parts extremely well. Angela Vaccari as the Father received re~ponsive laughs from the audience. Julie Walters, as the Mother, struck sy mpathy into the audience's heart s. and all the minor parts helped to make the operetta a roaring success. We all thank Sister. M . Theresia, Sister M. Felicia and Miss Maher for their great help and hard work in the prese ntation of our operett a. -Margare t Hadanich. C ARITA S
