LOOKING BACK . . . At graduation time all thoughts are turned toward the future, but for a few minutes let ' s look back on some of the happy memories and experiences of the past school year. As in every year the President ' s reception was one of the first social events and was held in the gym on September 23rd. Now that we were acguainted somewhat, the flood of school activities took up much of our time; student council members were elected; fifty-three new members were added to the choir; the News and Cupola staffs started work on their all- year projects and the year had offi- cially begun. In the line of sports, we won our first football game against the Wheaton B team in October. The weekend of October 3rd-5th we were challenged by an inspiring prayer con- ference and also by Dr. Carl Lugn during Christian Emphasis week. None of us will forget the Homecoming weekend with our pep rally, football game, Queen Carol Le Vahn and tre- mendous decorations which bright- ened up our campus. November 17 was the first all-school roller skating party, and on November 21 we won our first basketball game against Univer- sity of Illinois Medical students. On De- cember 10th Gordie Helberg and Ralph Soger were elected to the presidency of the freshmen and sophomore classes respectively. Per usual, Christmas season was filled with many happy activities: student council Christmas party with the crowning of Alyce Lar- son as Lucia Queen, a Smorgasbord given by Geijer Club, and he annual presentation of the Messiah at Re- deemer Covenant Church and Tues- day Evening Series. Five new mem- bers were added to Phi Kappa early in February and Missionary Volunteers held their annual banquet in Sohlberg Commons February 13. Our Vikings captured the conference basketball championship by defeating Herzl on February 19th and finished the season with a two game series against Joliet. During February and March we parti- cipated in an intramural volleyball Tournament. Throughout Missionary Emphasis Week, March 2-9, we heard many fine speakers from the foreign field. The Tridentians presented a County Fair complete with traditional booths, boxing, wrestling, and a dixie- land band on March 20th. The Iowa and Demenudi Club banquets were held March 11th and 28th. The On- Campus girls had a St. Patrick ' s Day theme for the dorm formal given March 14th. After Easter, the choir looked for- ward to their Eastern tour, and gave the annual Orchestra Hall Concert May 14th. May 15th was College day when we journeyed to the Indiana Dunes for a day of fun, food and fel- lowship. The following weekend we went to the college banquet at the Spinning Wheel in Hinsdale. The year, which had slipped by so fast was brought to a close with the President ' s reception, spring commencement con- cert, baccalaureate, and finally, gradu- ation on June 8th. i f -a ' Y il
