IN THE REALIZATION OF A DREAM.. Operation coat hanger, soda bottle, green stamps, special pennies, cake sales, raffles! Mission Accomplished: a glamorous social room! In a formal dedication ceremony, Father Sherer blessed the room and opened its doors for our comfort, relaxation and pleasure. IN THE EXODUS OF THE BOARDERS . 5 Mft Eight members of the Class of '58 have the distinction of being the last of the boarders, a nos- talgic little phrase which brings a touch of sadness . . . Since Lauralton opened its doors in 1905, boarders have been an in- tegral part of the school. It will in- deed seem rather strange next year when the corridors of the residence hall no longer ring with the board- ers' laughter, radios and general clamor . . . As we depart, we wish to say Thank you to all who have helped to make Lauralton a part-time home. Our boarders-Lois Krodel, Pat Hughes, Barbara Filosa, Dee Vetrano, Sue Gib- bons, Mary Kay Teal, Jane Ziegler, Mimi LaTaif with their Dorm Mother, Sister M. Corita.

AND IN THE END OF A TRADITION. In September, 1955, a change Was made in the Lauralton uniform. The Class of '58 - the last to lay the old aside. Now she's on the other side of the desk. Miss Jacqueline Creighton, of the Class of '52, came in January to assist in the Math Department. The Class of '59 - the first by whom the new are tried. Over the years, it has become the custom of the Lau- ralton students to touch reverently the feet of the Crucified as they pass along the chapel corridor.
