P 'lflfl HOV s OZIVI I Cl The class of '50 began its junior activties in mid- summer by letter-writing to the new little sisters and by sending them special Saint Mary's pamphlets. edited by Lee Iserson. The new juniors returned to college early in September to usher in the new-comers with freshman welcome week. There were parties in the Rec, clubhouse, and Saint Angela's Hall: infor- mal gatherings in big sisters' rooms: the faculty- freshman tea, all patterned to make little sister feel at home in her home away from home. The Madonna Night service in October symbolized our dedication to the Blessed Mother. Under the guiding help of Sister M. Rita Claire, newly-appointed junior class sponsor, the juniors car- ried on their activities, carefully supervised by the class officers: Jean Malooly, president: Helen Ken- nedy, student council representative: Joanne Fink, vice-president: Margaret Quinn, secretary: Marjorie McKeon, treasurer: Margaret Kessell, dance chair- man: and Rosemary Treacy, day-student represent- ative. The sports year began at Saint Mary's with the hockey tournament. The juniors suffered defeat de- spite the capable captaining of Rita Wilson. Later in the school year the juniors surrendered their twice- won volleyball championship to their little sisters. Geneal Kraemer directed this class of 'SO team that came in second. On January 22, Mary Hovorka and Rita Wilson were chosen captain and manager, re- spectively, of the blue-and-white basketball team. The juniors suffered another defeat-this one in the annual play tournament. All on a Summers Day, a light comedy, was directed by Peggy Gard- ner, and was the junior entry in the contest. In the art lime-light among the juniors was Ginny Logan, art editor of Static, who illustrated a new book, When Goinglv Toughcst by Brother Ernest, C.S.C. The high-light of the school year was the annual junior-sponsored Christmas party. The f'Lumen Chris- ti brought new beauty to the traditional candlelight ceremony. President jean Malooly addressed the din- ner guests with a few words of yuletide greeting. The junior choir added originality to the program by the singing of Christmas carols during the banquet. After dinner, all retired to the lounge for the skit starring Mary Cucchi and jean Suelzer as the Christmas mice, and featuring Santa fMary jo Capenj and his bag of gifts. The next morning the college residents were awakened by the angelic voices of the junior carolers, calling them to participation in the Notre Dame- Saint Marys family Mass. Shortly before semester vacation the class gathered in the clubhouse for a farewell party in honor of three of the soon-to-be-wed junior lasses: Carol Morin, Marilyn Brennan, and Marilee Gibbons. Four other juniors also left us at the semesters-for Reidinger House: Sally Cantwell, Jean Hormuth, Bernie Lang, and Helene Preece. The Junior Prom came in February with an ap- propriate Yalentine theme, Heartbreaker . Some- thing new in the way of an artificial mountain stream, complete with peacock, was tried t Keep your dates away from the decorationsfj Chairman Marge Kes- sell did an excellent job of supervising the dance. Music was provided by Gene Hull and his orchestra. Chairmanship of the annual variety show was un- dertaken by Kay Motta. This junior-sponsored affair, entitled Through the Days , was shown March 10 and 11. It featured, among other stars, Penny George and her song styling. Another junior project, and this one entirely new, was the decoration of the Rec. Ginny Logan headed a committee that planned the painting and general face-lifting of the room, Coral-and-grey walls replaced the old drab ones, and new floral curtains now grace the windows. Bernie Lang, Student Relief Chairman, supervised another new social project, the Masquerade Ball, on February 26. Gene Hull and his orchestra played for the costumed dancers in the balloon-decorated Louis XVI Ballroom. Examinations, picnics, parties, and Sports Day brought the school year of '48-'49 to a close. The juniors climaxed the year with Cap and Gown Night when they received their symbolic attire for the sen- ior year ahead.
