Kose Day The annual Rose Day was held on the afternoon of May 26 at four o'clock. The -entire high school group, in pastel evening dresses, as- sembled in the auditorium where tables were decorated for the occasion. The Seniors took' the places of honor in the center. A tiny ship with Christ at the helm, was filled with daintily dressed paper dolls represent- ing each graduate. Pink streamers were held in place at the table by the gifts, crucifixes. The Juniors presented a short skit under the direction of Sister M. Alda, R. S. M. It was in the form of a class prophecy. The scene was a rose garden, the year 1954. Eleanor Birkel, as the fairy, with a tap of her wand, brought forth from a magic rose each of the Seniors in their various professions. Rev. J. S. Bogue, S.J., spoke to the group as regards their eternal destiny. Refreshments were served and each class gave some tribute in the form of parodies or verse to the outgoing class of '44. Betty Calametti '44.
