All parents, who have graduates in the family, rack their brains to think of something unusual in the way of a party for them. But we know four graduates, Barbara Ann McGrath, Mary Ellen Devery, Mary Ann Dros and Cynthia Ann Green, all graduates of the Class of '52 at St. Angela Hall Academy, who put their pretty heads together and said to their parents instead of each of us having a party let': have one big party. And that they did. Of course, the idea met with instant approval of their parents, who are Mr.

and Mrs George E. McGrath of 129 S. Oxford Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P.

Devery of 291 Sherman Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Dros of 266 Washington and Mrs. E. E.

Green of 456 Washington Ave, And so a supper party was given at Michel's. Flatbush Ave. and to the private dining room went the graduates and their escorts. The room was a bower of blue delphinium and pink carnations and, of course, there was a large cake frosted with the same colors and lettered "Congratulations to the Class of '52." Each girl received a corsage, pink carnations and baby's breath. An orchestra that played continually, topped off the party.

A little bird told us that the mothers and fahers who were the chaperones enjoyed themselves as much as the young people did. Barbara wore an orchid pink organza frock over taffeta, made with a bouffant skirt. Mary Ellen was in a plaid dimity frock, Mary Ann was in an orchid organdy dress embroidered in white and trimmed with black velvet. Cynthia wore nile green marquisette with a wide sash of green satin interwoven with pink. Among the guests at the party were Eileen Acheson, Rosemary Ancona, Jean Bernabo, Monica Cirillo, Theodora Constanson, Barbara Corun, Eleanor Delaney, Marie Ianora, Ann Marie Kalmes, Phyllis McCormick, Joann McDermott, Patricia McHale, Fiora Maltese, Eileen Miclat, Norma Mele, Judith Perrotto, Joan Scuderi, Ellen Smith, Nancy Savilli, Suzanne Trinneer, Genevieve Tursi, Sue Weil.
