WITHI THE E DCDORS .... W 4 f iw ? as Us , 1 if Yi A . af Q f X HSTAIRWAY TO THE STARS Hello there! How would you like to walk with me through my last year at Notre Dame? Witliin these doors there are many happy, unforgettable moments- moments employed in planning for the fall festival and passed in decorating for dances and partiesg moments used in pre- paring for Mary Day and consumed in practicing for the operettag and many moments spent in consolation before, the Tabernacle. Before beginning this last year let's glance hack to the climax of our junior Year- the Prom. PRCDVIDES HEAVENLY ATMOSPHERE How can we ever forget the prom? The school hall was changed into a fantasy starland with lights twinkling on and off and stars dancing here and there in the l3.lCliLLQllJLllkl. Handsome fellows and beautiful girls danced and laughed and just enjoyed themselves, The highlight of the evening was reached when following fan- fare, the spectators' curiosity was satisfied by the announcement of the queen and her court. liven though the prom was the juniors' final tribute to the seniors, the hours of planning, work, and fun that made this night possible somehow made it our prom. The big moment! Josie Folk crowns Arlene Sonntag. Queen of the l957 Prom, Stairway to the Stars. Arlene's escort was Marion Menze. ii

SENIORS WELCOME LITTLE SISTERS In dignity and sophistication the freshies were initiated. Instead of the usual torturing initiation, this year we gave a welcome party for our little sisters. Candy corsages, bibs, green bows, and buttons pre- dominated the scenery of the after- noon. Spectators Susan Callahan, Roseann George, Rosie Borg- wald, Rose Dunn, Mary Mueller, and Mary Ann Bowers display their merri- ment of the festivity. HELLO! IT'S GRAND TO BE BAC We are ready for another year. For some of us it is our first and for the less fortunate of us it is our last. Before we go through these doors we pause to think of our future days. What do we want from this year? What will we get? We will meet many new friends, we will encounter many different problems, but most of all we will get better acquainted with ourselves. In conclusion we make the solemn promise to make this school year the most wonderful of all!
