Dads And Daughters Dine And Dance On Valentine’s Day LAST YEAR'S FATHER-DAUGHTER LUNCHEON AT THE SWISS CHALET IN RAMSEY WAS SO SUCCESSFUL that it was decided to hold this year s Luncheon at the same Restaurant. The room was beautifully decorated, the food was delicious, the band played continuously, the souvenirs for the DAUGHTERS were very special — four bottles of perfume prettily boxed — and the two Speak- ers were interesting, despite the fact, or perhaps be- cause of the fact, that they represented opposing views. THE FIRST SPEAKER WAS MISS SUE LYONS, a young actress and social worker, who spoke on the generation, gap. Later THE HONORABLE LUIS DOBLES SANCHEZ, Ambassador to the United Nations from Costa Rica spoke. He had not been scheduled to speak, but he was so impressed by the warmth and friendliness of the Fathers, Daughters, and Faculty Members, and the whole atmosphere of the Luncheon, that he felt MISS LYON’S statement that she felt there was a generation gap could not be justified. The AMBASSADOR spoke so sincerely and well that when he had finished speaking he received a standing ovation. He had saved the day! Mftj That the FATHERS enjoyed dancing with their DAUGHTERS was evident from the moment they stepped out onto the Dance Floor until the music stopped. The FACULTY was well represented at the Luncheon. Pictures here in a clockwise direction are: SR. MARGARET AILEEN. SR. THERESA COURTNEY. MISS DEANNA VECCHIOTTI. SR. THERESA GRAVINO. SR. KATHLEEN NORA. MRS. LYDIA MARSHALL. SR. MARIE FRANCESCA. SR.

Epilogue The decade of the SIXTIES has ended and the SEVENTIES have begun Ours is the first class at the Mount to graduate in this new decade. We have observed the characteristics of the past two decades — the comparatively calm years of the FIFTIES . . . the restless, discordant, challenging SIXTIES, with Vatican II, Vietnam, assasinations, and changes, with race riots and campus disorders . . We hope the SEVENTIES will be the DAWN OF A NEW AGE . . . We owe our parents a tremendous debt of gratitude for the love and security they have given us, to sustain us as we go forth to conquer new worlds . . • not just SPACE . . . but PEACE . . . and BROTHERHOOD.
