URSULINE ACADEMY

valentine dance is being
planned by the senior class.
The highlight of the social
calendar is the annual spring
dance during Easter vacation
given to the seniors by the
juniors. A one-act play con-
test in which each class sub
mits an entry, the annual
senior play, the senior trip to
New York, several class trips
and a school picnic plus q
"Student-Faculty Play Day"
are just some of the proofs
that UrSuline combines both
work and play.
Besides the ordinary spirit
exhibited in most schools
UrSuline is unique in adding
to this a true family spirit.
There exists a close tie
among all classes with very
little distinction shown be-
tween the underclaSSmen and
the upperclaSSmen.
This family spirit. foStered
by the members of the fac
ulty. also extends to the par
entS of the girls. This is made
possible by many get-to-
gethers, a Father-Daughter
dance and an Ursuline family
gathering. Last week, the
faculty entertained the par
ents with a buffet supper. At
this annual affair the Art
Club and art classes combine
in an exhibition Of their
work. Seeing the gym thus
decorated, one realizes why
Ursuline has captured many
awards in this field.
UrSuline Academy is on the
approved list Of Non-Public
Academic Schools issued by

ment of Education. 1t is also
