Fun - Food - Frolic Food-laden tables and a soda bar set the stage for a delicious and delightful Hi-Day on a golden October aft er- noon. After the feast - the frolic. Little red wagons and battered suitcases, filled with a weird array of strange gar- ments, were the props for hilarious inter-class races. The aura of good fellowship that surrounded Hi-Day has not faded, but will last throughout the year. Another happy time was our traditional Rome Day, when the girls from our sister school in Rome, New Yorktrav- eled to Albany for a day of friendly competition. An abundant luncheon soon disappeared and then we turned to bas- ketball games, from which Albany emerged victorious. A scintillating entertainment presented by the Juniors com- pleted another day of --- fun, food, and frolic. ,r , 1.43335 Hr' l 2' A picnic in the park with more food on the way. m .

A Plan o Aid the New Novitiate One late October day, the students assem- bled in the auditorium to discuss plans for help- ing, in some small way, with the expenses of the new Holy Names Novitiate, An idea w as pre- sented which was received by the student body with great enthusiasm and good will. S e nio r Thespians presented a skit in whichthey assumed the roles of six postulants from the Class of 1960. Their habits were like nothing ever seen with- in for withoutj convent walls, but, undaunted, the budding actresses pursued their zany char- acterizations and made their point. The proposal of the school officers was that each homeroom adopt a postulant and make a concerted effort to bring her to Albany. Through a variety of activities the students are working to help their postulants, and thus aid the novitiate building program. The Plan in Action One of the most memorable occasions in the Novitiate Aid plan was the Rah-Rah Romp, a Senior fund-raising activity, On a frosty November night, the girls and their escorts arrived to find the gym transformed into a land of autumn fantasy. Corn shocks, huge bronze mums, 'footb 'alls , pumpkins, and gay streamers reminded us ofthe brilliant days of fall. The dance was not only a great social success, but also realized its fi- nancial goals. Well, there are a couple of postulants who already have rooms reserved in the new Noviti- ate building, thanks to the Seniors at 1,0'75 Barbara Marshall, Sandy Smith, Connie Dyer, and escorts sit f?Q this one out at the Rah Rahi Romp
