Tempus Fugit! seems to be the thought of Carole Brown as she anxiously checks the clock during a scholarship examination. The other seniors pictured are working industriously to complete the exam on time. They include: Annette DiFazio, Catherine Macheda, Eugene Cericola, John Scott, and Carol Brown. The seniors competed for scholarships offered by General Motors, Na- tional Merit, Knights of Columbus, New York State and many colleges throughout the United States. FROM ACROSS THE ATLANTIC Merita Ferrero When, almost two months ago I left Turin, Italy, I was sure that in America I should have found a wonderful country and wonderful friends. lhad heard many things about America and the American people, but only now I can have an exact idea of these people. And you can be sure that all I expected, all that I felt is proving to be true. My life becomes more interesting when I can meet new friends, learn to live as they live, and to think, in short, to become one of them. In Italy I had finished my studies. Since I was six years old I at- tended five years of Primary Education, three of junior Secondary fGymnasium5 and after was admitted to five years of Classical Senior High fLiceol. The subjects taught included Greek, Latin, Italian, English, the Maths, Science Qphysics, chemistry, biologyj, Philosophy and Tripos. After, I did secretarial work at the Italian Company of Tourism. I started my work at 6:50 until 12:30 and from 4:00 p. ttf till 8:00. My job was very interesting, my pay was Sl. 50 a day and I learned much. I met many persons from different countries who came to my office for information on travel to .every part of the world. These people were more to me than just customers. Each one was an individual with his own particular problem. Many of these business acquaintances became my friends. Now Ihave come to Batavia to visit my cousin Father Prina and study English at Notre Dame. I have found the people of Batavia most generous and loyal and when I return to Italy fit is too bad that I have to go back!l I will carry with me deep gratitude for the Fathers and the Sisters, who are patient with me, for the girls and boys who helped me, and who have become dear friends. O-U-C-H! This was a frequently uttered word as seniors were immunized all over again. Doctor Biagio Mansueto is admin- istering lcc to Angela LaRussa while Mrs. Aileen Churchill, school nurse, forms the eager ?! line to the left. Mrs. Earl Nor- ton is preparing another needle. Because of college require- ments, many seniors received booster shots against such diseases as smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. Sore arms and slightly irritated dispositions were the visible results. Early in February the cry went up for tomato paste, salad oil and willing workers as the seniors were making plans for their an- nual spaghetti supper. Marianne Penna, chairman of the supper, is shown making a last minute check-up while Bill Kelty, Carole I-Ieisler, Karen Kasmarek and Lynn Wilkinson Begin the final preparations. The profits were used to purchase the Seniors' gift to the school, a trophy case placed in the wall of the main cor- ridor. Please give me standard coloring, a pink sweater, brown eyes, brown hair, one 8x 10, three 5x '7's and twenty-five 2 x 3's. A week of brain stirring debate preceded this typical senior picture order. Ann Sweeney and Sue Marshek are placing their orders with the two representatives from Lawing Studio while Madeline Joy, Louise LaValley, Ioan Roach and Carol Brown look on. When the pictures were printed an extensive trade service was set up by the class.
