COLLEGE GIRI 1962 All the things we are: gay, serious; short, tall; pensive, dynamic, sure, unsure, idealistic. In love — with ND boys, boys back home, with Salinger, with Kennedy, with A-skirts, with EVERYTHING. Studious, iniquisitive. All the things we do: study, write home, write term papers, write poetry for CHIMES, walk around the lake, discuss politics or exis¬ tentialism far into the night, play bridge, play the piano, go on a diet, check mail, browse in the bookstore, listen to CAMELOT, WEST SIDE Story, read the Times, Time, dance at proms, break the bank at Mardi Gras, cheer the Fighting Irish, swarm their football field, see or be in MUCH ADO, skate on Lake Marian, ski at Caberfae. Fly with Peter Pan, run for Student Council, for class office, be on a committee, sing along at an outdoor festival, hear Barry Goldwater. Study in Europe, apply for a Fulbright, prepare for comps, Charles¬ ton at a roaring twenties party scuffle through the leaves. Read about Father Hesburgh, listen to him, go to Brazil, to Lourdes, have Mr. L do a portrait, visit an orphanage, join the orchestra. All the things around us: overflowing bulletin board, family pic¬ ture, record player, Chanel, travel posters, baggy Shetlands, blue blazers, books, bells, bikes, cokes, Oriole. On your way, college girl. i v JLuf ar X K

The editors of this 1962 yearbook have the privilege of recording the transition from one administration to another, of thanking a vet¬ eran President of the College for what she has preeminently succeed¬ ed in making our college during the twenty-seven years of her presi¬ dency, and of thanking our new President for the accomplishments and promise of her administration during her first year in office. To the third President of Saint Mary ' s, 1934-1961, SISTER M. MADELEVA, C.S.C., the BLUE MANTLE is dedicated in loving gratitude for her friendship, guidance and inspiration, as well as for more than doubling our c ampus buildings and for her distinguished academic leadership on and beyond cam¬ pus. We know we speak for th ree decades of students whose memories of their college are simultaneously memories of Sis¬ ter Madeleva. To the fourth President of Saint Mary’s, SISTER MARIA RENATA, C.S.C., 1961 — ad multos annos, the Blue Mantle with similar affection dedicates its record of this year’s events, in recognition of Sister’s own effective and out¬ standing dedication to us during this her first year as administra¬ tive head of her and our Alma Mater. Clearly and vigorously, Saint Mary’s is being ably guid¬ ed in the complex, challenging era of space exploration and of Mater et Magistra with its ecumenical implications.
