Pageantry, Procession, Important Occasions In Mexican Worship Explaining the importance of processions and festivals in Mexican religious life, Miss Mary A. Reardon, faculty member of Emmanuel College, gave an illustrated lecture, " Religious Customs South of the Border", here on Friday, February 15, 1952. Miss Reardon, painter, illustrator, and author of children 's books, is well known for her paintings in churches and private collections, as well as for her frescoes in Mexico and portraits in many private homes. She obtained degrees from Radcliffe College and the Yale School of Fine Arts, and worked in her studio in Ipswich Street, Boston, later turning i'o Latin America for further study and experience, especially with the eminent frescoes painters of Mexico. Processions and festivals with mixed noise and music, bullfights, dances, and fireworks characterize Mexican feast days, Miss Reardon said . The liturgical year is acted out much the same as the morality plays of Europe . It was while living as a mural painter in the Latin American countries that she grew to know the lands and peoples of which she speaks. In these countries she also photographed the graphic color scenes with which she illustrates her lectures.

Maiga Silliers, latvian Student, Finds U. 5., Port Of Refuge Mixed with the varied accents of the Bostonian 's " caa ", the Rhode Islander's " coah", and the New Yorker's " carr", here at Salve Regina we hear also the soft bell of Chinese, the music of Spanish and the strength of Latvian. With these foreign students we have had added to our college life the benefits of their diversified and often trying experiences. Such is particularly true of our Latvian student Maiga . A small European republic Latvia, lies north of Lithuania and west of Russia . Although as a people, the Letts have possessed a language and culture for several centuries, they did not obtain recognition as a republic until 1918. Up until 1939,
the chief occupation was agriculture and only about thirty-five per cent of ·the population was urbanized . Since her early teens, Maiga has known the true meaning of "a ll out war" and " communism ". When Russians occupied her country in 1940, it was as a conqueror to dispoil the land and enslave the people. In contrast to the Russian " People's Democracy", German occupation a year later proved a welcome relief, as Maiga says, " the Germans were just stupid." When three years later, the Russians returned, Maiga and her parents migrated to Germany as workers rather than face any more examples of Communist "l iberty". Since that time they have not been able
to ma ~;e or have any contacts with Latvian relati ves other than a smuggled le tter or two . Wit h the coming of the Americans to G :::rmany, Maiga and her parents were finally freed, and three years ago they immig~ated with her to the United States. While her parents remained in Louisiana Maiga came on to live here with a Newport fomily where she cares ·for t he ir children and completes her education. A practicing Lutheran, Maiga has proven to be an excellent student and a good friend . Becau >e she has picked up Engl is h and Ameri can ways so remarkably fast, she has right now more than made a niche ·for herself here in our life at Salve Regina.

Usher In New Se meste r For St ud ents
Dear Fo l ks : Fi rst of all, I want to thank you all for th e grand Chri stmas gifts you sent me which made my trip to Italy (and also as you must know by now, our petit rejour- " little stay" in southern France ) such a glonous on e. Honestly, it's actually impossible for me to t ry to tell you everything, but I' ll try real hard to incl ude the ma1or points now and fill in with letters to come the many oth er unforgettable happenings and places we visit ed during these past almost three weeks. Having caught the train to Cannes (Dec . 17), we arriv ed in th e early afternoon and got our glimpse at th e renown ed social center of France . G o sh, b ut it is a real paradise, the gorgeous villas and mi.ltonaire hotels and shops lining the chic boardwalk . l he sandy b each is lovely and the waters of the Mediterranean ju st as cry stal green as we ' ve always heard ·, heo y wer e- with th e commanding mountains se emingly jutting from th e glistening sud . I fell in love with ·,n e plac e and would have been quite content ;o :;pend th e rest of ·;·he intended holidays right ·, here. Little d .d I know what was to come . We did stay two nights, but on the 19th we pro cee d ed to Nice, about an hour and one haif ride t::.y train. 'fhi s littl e resort ·iown is quite similar ·, o Cannes, and as ye t, I haven't quite decided on my preference. Th e tollowing day, ·;·he 20th, w e leo ft Nice as our itin erary had been planned and headed in t.1e di rect ion of Florence . After a six-hour journey we got into Florence only to find her complete ly covered over with ·~ og. ·vv e took a horse and buggy (very common sight in Ita ly ) to t he Hote l Berchielli located right on ·, he Arno near famous Ponte V ecchio . It' s a very picturesque spot. W e saw th e panoramic view lor about ·, en minutes one day when old Sol cond e scended i·o shine. We did get a bit of sightseeing done despite the inclem ancy of th e weath er . Saw many wonderful churches including th e famous Cathedral of St. Maria del Franc, which is on e of th e most stupendous examples of Gothic archi tectu re in Tu scany and contains works of art and monum ents of great value . Flor ence is also a center of leathercrafts and silver industry . We (Sherry, Joan, and I, who ar e fine incid ently ) would love to return some time and g et som e of th e gorgeous sterling silverware. It's amazingl y in ex p ensive in our calculation or cost. We had a most enjoyab le stay in Flor ence, but we had to lea ve on the 24th since we intended to spend Christmas in Rom e. W e caught ou r first glance of Rome about 6 o ' clock Chri stmas Eve and sh e surely did look good to us. W e sp ent Chr istma s Eve by attending Midnight Ma ss at one of the Patriarchal Cathedrals, -fourt h of th e g reat church es of Rom e and the largest dedicated to ·the V irgin . It is g orgeous and i·he only church i hat has kept its original form, notwith standing som e decoration s. Th e cei ling is a work of art in itself- com pl ete ly done in delicate multi-colored mosaics and gilding. We hoped to attend Mass at St . Peter' s but learned one was not being celebrated there this year . Th e church was crowded and many G. I.' s and Ameri an sailors, marines, and civilians were in attendance. Receive d Holy Communion at one of the special side chap els and of course, remembered each of you very sp eciall y a s I do always when visiting any church or bl esse d chap el (as well as all my fri ends).

You, Brenda Scoop of th e Herald n Clarion, have not written your big story!

These were served on trays which the club members d ecorated beforehand . Among the other activities for the month of February was a food sale of cakes, pies, cookies, sandwiches and coffee made under the direction of Sister Mary Kathleen, R.S.M.

Gift Of Invaluable Anthologies Augments Library Collection Thirty-three volumes of the " Universal Anthology" were presented to the college library by Reverend Francis McCarthy of Saint Mary' s Cathedral, Fall River, Massa chusetts. Handsomely bound, these books are the first set of ·the printed editions copyrighted in 1899. Although essentially covering the -Field of early American and foreign literature, the collection offers treatises on history, government and pol itics, religion, philosophy, etc . and in reality, ·;·ouches every phase of the arts and the sciences. Sister Marie Therese, college librarian, asserted that the contents and excellent condition of the books make them an invaluable collection for any library.
Salve Regina 's sociology class plans as the year's project a series of small parties for several Newport children home-bound by cerebral palsy, heart and other diseases, Sister Mary Christopher, R.S.M ., has announced . Working in conjunction with the Red Cross, which will furnish ·i ransportation ·ior the project, and \he Newport Department of tducation, ·i he girls have scheduled social gatherings for the children from February through May at ·t he college. Among ·rhe events scheduled are movies and refreshments in February and a storytelling hour in March . On the agenda for April, a constructive program will enable the children to give- to their creative ability, making Easter cards and decorations. In May, the sociology students w ill treat t:1em to a beach party and a hot dog roast. A similar program was successfully carried out by sociology students ·iwo year• ago. The purpose in bringing the children from their homes to the college is ·;·o enable them to make ·i he social contacts necessary for a more rounded life . While the school departm ent provides for their mental needs, they still need young companions, as handicapped or moreso than they, to prove that theirs is not a singular case_
