A GREAT DAY
FOR THE IRISH
No.6
Lots of !un and surprises were
in store fo1· Nazaa·eth girls who
donned green and came out for
the St. Patrick's Uay !'arty,
March 17, according to Co-chair­men
Virgini(t. Keegan and Mcny
Lee Bishop. This year, a double
treat was planned.
The afternoon featured skits
put on by each class. Originality,
tinling, stagecraft and general
appeal were taken lnto consid·
eration by the judges who chose
the senio•· tlass skit. "A Fairy

Faculty members, parents, and
friends were wen .. represented and
seemed to enjoy the presenta­tions.
After the skits, •·ef•·esh­ments
of • different, but defi­nitely
IJ·ish so•·t were served.
But, this was only the begin­ning
of the day's activities. 'l'he
evening found the students of
St. John Fisher"• joining the fun
in the gym, wher·e their basket­ltall
playoff was held. A full­house

Once again. we have celebrated the feast of St. J oseph.
Setting aside a special day each year, we are able to
spend more time in sincere devotion to J oseph, "a tower
against bumings, t he dear fosteret· of the appointed
Christ." We place him on a pedestal, honoring him, pray­ing
to him, and loving him. But twenty-four hours is so
short a time . . . so very short.
Place St. Joseph on that pedestal every day of your
life. P lace him alongside Our Lady and Jesus. and then,
in the light of the Holy Family, raise your prayers to
Heaven. St. Joseph will hear you ... . St. Joseph will
guide you .. . . St. Joseph will be happy to take you into
his fa mily. Appeal to him. He understands.

No doubt, we have all seen, either on television or at
the movies, someone scaling the dangerous heights of a
threateJling mountain. If we were to take a survey among
those who engage in this perilous pastime, we would find
that one of the chief reasons for their doing so is to try
to conquer a force greater than themselves-the force
of nature.
Although we do not realize it, we, too, are now climb­ing
a mountain. It is the mountain of sacrifice and self­denial-
the mountain of Lent. Like the climber in the
Swiss Alps. out· motive is also to conquer a fo rce of nature
-of human nature.
Because of love of God, we are using this penitential
season to deny ourselves pleasures that are natural to
human beings. This week finds us in the middle of our
forty day climb; at the midpoint of the mountain when
out· energies are exhausted and we fee l that perhaps we
have gone fu enough. We t·ealize that the fervor with
which we began out climb on Ash Wednesday is slowly
dwindling, and we find ourselves slipping down the rocky
slopes.
Will we allow ourselves to fall now that our climb is
half over, or will we gather our strength and continue
our rewarding ascent toward the Ultimate Goal? Our
journey will seem less difficult if we remember that, once
at the top, we will be able to take our greatest sacrifice­ourselves-
and lay it at His pie•·ced and bleeding feet.

Discussions on urban develop·

A sightseeing tour of Wash­ington,
including the Smithsonian
Institute, the White Bouse and
other places of interest. rounded
out the progt'arn. lt was dut·ing
this tour that Thelma met the

and gracious as the al'ticles
say she is/' Thelma said J'em­iniscing.

thrilled, aU I could say was 'l'n1

she made me feel very impor­tant.'''

Hi!
T'm Daisy, denoting daffy do­illgs

Icy (Joan Z'<geldtw) goes on thflt
long deserved vacation to Wash­ington
to visit an old (?) friend.
Gilley has been pretty busy th is
year chasing people to Florida,
and points west, and when she
asked me to s pread around the
latest news just this once-well
- 1 just couldn't wait to get
slarted.
Perched on the Nazareth tower
the other nlorning, (my favorite
s pot) J was surprised to see
.l1aru6 Fcllt:onc c•·ecping at a
snail'~ paec down East Avenu~.
leaving an unusually large s pace
for people to pass her. Then ,
along came " Pratlttrrhead" (JO<t!l)
Foley, who was very pleased
about some g ift her friends had
given to her !or Valent ine's Day.
"Featherhead'' also told me that
that rumbling, t hunder noise we
all heard las t Sunday could be
explained. She was bo' \' lin,g with
the J\lnior Hibernians and eamt:
home with a score of 11 B.
"'\\' hen ' 4l"eatherhead" left.
a long came a nother little bird
who told me that Joa" Gt<r(Jt>Jt,
Beverly He-ier, Bru·b Pr01Jen.zano
and R Men T o•·I>CIJ are donning
Aquinas rings-! had already
heat·d this news from Gilley. but
this little bird was quite UJ>set
and said that she'd like to see it
in print.
Suddenly a glitter apJ>carcd,
almost blinding me. At first I
thought it was a he.a.venly vision
( result of retreat), but at a se<>­ond
glance, it was Cyntldu Riclrc
showing hel' diamond to one hope-.
ful Senior and comparing it with
Ma>1f Ellen Cullinan's.
tn case you see a Jew stray
red feathe1·s 8l'Otmd, they belong
to Eilccu Flanau<m. Both she and
Loi• Sweet had their f eathers
plucked a few weeks ago, b'Ut
Eileen is not contented. l guess
she's worried about how it wi ll
look under that new Easter hat
or how it will look to a certain
visitor from New York !
Brrr! it's chilly here tonight.
But Bn.rb P1•ovtm.zlmo and Jw1re
J>abncJ' are cozily seated around
a camp fire with their gh·l scouts.
ls anyone inte•·ested in learning
how to cook? Ba1·b's. troop can
show you how.
F_rom Elmjra comes news that
the nurses of '56 will soon be
leaving St. Joseph's l:lospital and
will be training at various hos ...
pitnls throughout the s tate.

Nancy Sl<tU ond J 11dy Walle/!
were invited to view tho Niagara­Conesius
Bas ketball game, while
many who went to the NFCCS
Congress also saw the ganH~.
Gilley aln1ost got he·r dream
fulfilled conceming the 200-man
Wes t Point stag line at our Mix­er.
A !though there weren't 200
of them and a lthough they
weren't f1·om \Vest Point, they
wel'{f stag and I think most or my
fine.feathered friends will agree
with me, that a good time was
had by all.
Well, th is little bird must bld
you adieu. I hope Gilley returns
soon, because r om so lonely
without her. She always keeps
me up to date on the latest hap­penjngsJ
but with Gilley on vaca ...
tion- weH- it just isn't the same.
Come back soon Gilley, okay-huh?
so that we birds of a fea ther can
Rock loge the•·.

P.S. Any resembh•nce between
Gilley and me is pm·ely coin­cidental.

All Catholics know-or should

observance of Lent. Howeve1·, in
its l'eligious significnnce, fasting
vat·ies among the different races.
For example, among savage ra ces
the rite is set forth at cerlain
stages of life, as an act of mourn­ing,
or fot· sacred and ritu.a l aet.s,
or as an act of penitence. It is
ue:ually accornpanied by p1·ayer.
An1ong An1e1·ican lndinns, 'fast·
iog was widely observed and
practiced both in pl'ivate and in
connection with JlUhlie cere­monies.
The period of Lent as we know
it, is a time of fasting prepal'a­tory
to the festival of Easter.
However. its original meaning
came from the Anglo-Saxon wo•·d
" lenctt'' meaning spring; and
since spdng fa11s in the ea.-Jy
part of the year the Anglo-Sax­on
term became confused with
the season, :-.nd g ntdually ''Lent"
became confined to it~:~ present 1.1~.:.
The length of fasting and t he
rigor with which it has been ob~
served also varies. In the time

without food or d•·ink for 'the

of Good Friday and the

that of Boly Week, the entit·e fast
lusting fo•· seven weeks , both Sat­urdays
and Sundays excluded.
Greek Lent begins with a week
of pt•cparatory fasting, known as
" buttermilk week."
Ln the 18th century, the strict
observance of the Lenten fast
was generally abandoned, but a
custom followed by Queen Eliz­abeth
and her cout't--the custom
of wornen being in mourning dm·­ing
