religious, the civil, and the social life
of the Piedmont section.

chapter, which is headed by Sam
Francis, who was chosen president.
Other officers are Francis McNamara,
vice-president; Alvin Watson, secre

ST. MARY’S PARENT-
TEACHER ASS’N.
Progresisve Organization
Completes Another Suc
cessful Year at Green
ville School
GREENVILLE, S. C. — St. Mary’s
Parent-Teacher Association has en
joyed one of the most progressive
years in its history. Not only has it
grown in membership and prospered
financially, but the true spirit of
understanding and cooperation has
existed between the members and
teachers—thus attaining that end for
which Parent-Teachers Associations
strive—the good of the child.
The lunch room which was opened
last year by the P.-T. A.'has proved
a great success. The one hundred
and fifteen children who eat there
daily are given a perfectly balanced
diet. The under-privileged children
of the school are given free lunches
each day, while the others pay a very
small charge. With the help of PWA
the Association has had gardens, for
the past year that have been a great
help in supplying the kitchen with
fresh and canned vegetables. Ap
proximately. eight hundred jars of
fruits, vegetables, and soup mixtures
were canned last summer from this
source.
A Blanket Club, similar to the one
used last year and which proved so
satisfactory, has been carried on
again this year, and the results
equally gratifying.
The Association has contributed
greatly to the health of the students,
and to the sanitation of the school by
furnishing towel racks and paper
towels throughout the building. They
have also purchased a wonderful set
of much needed books for the school
library.
Sources of income during the past
year have been: dues; various child
rens parties; Bridge and Bingo
Tournaments; parking cars on the
school grounds; Blanket Club; soap
coupons; and “mite” envelopes. These
little “mite” envelopes are distribut
ed to all parishioners and they are
asked to drop in a penny each day
during Lent. The pennies are never
missed by the donor, yet, when all
are collected they help immensely.
Some worthwhile causes outside
the school work that have been aided
by St. Mary s P.-T. A. are A Spiri
tual Bouquet and a cash donation to
a purse for Monsignor Gwynn in
celebration of his fortieth anniver
sary; a cash donation to the Sisters
Divine Saviour Hospital, York, S. C.;
a cash donation to help Father Dean
fill Christmas baskets for the needy;
Communion Breakfast for the first
communicants and for the gradua
tion class; and a number of Masses
said for various purposes.
St, Mary's Parent-Teacher Associa
tion is justly proud of its accomplish
ments during the past year because
the very aim for which it was begun
seems now to be a realization. The
Sisters have helped untiringly in giv
ing suggestions and advice. The par
ents have followed these suggestions
and the result has been most gratify
ing in the solution of “every day”
problems that invariably arise with
students. To this splendid coopera
tion we owe our success, and on it
we safely place our hopes for the
future.
The officer* of the Association are,
Mrs. Hugh Goldsmith, president;
Mrs. Gus Barbare, vice-president;
Mrs. W. H. Johnson, secretary; and
Sfes. L, E. Dellinger, treasurer.

Sister M. Dolores
Dies in Washington
Had Devoted More Than
Sixty Years of Her Life to
Beligion
WASHINGTON, Ga.—Sister Mary
Dolojes Farrell died at St. Joseph’s
Home January 17th in the ninetieth
year of her age and the 63rd year of
her religious life.
Sister Dolores was bom in Brook
lyn, N. Y., January 3, 1851, and was
educated in St. Patrick’s School. A
devout and edifying member of that
parish, she merited in her early wo
manhood to be called by God to the
religious life, and in 1877 she enter
ed in the novitiate of the Sisters of
St. Joseph in Washington, Georgia.
Her entire religious life, with the
exception of a few years spent at
Sharon, Georgia, was devoted to the
care of the orphan boys of this dio
cese. Her work, scarcely known out
side the walls of St. Joseph's Home,
was, nevertheless, a tremendous
power for good. Her untiring devo
tion to duty, her kindly thoughtful
ness for the boys under her care,
brightened and strengthened many a
life.
Her life was the exemplification of
doing “for the least of these.”
