The college is a direct development of the first educational institution in Kansas City opened by Reverend Bernard Donnelly in 1854. It is conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. 3 WE ARE ENRICHED MENTALLV A typical library scene any hour of the day and sometimes of the night. Martha Batchel, Madelon Perreault, and Mary Jo McEnany are probably preparing humanities notes. In the quiet of the library we have intimate con- tact with the great minds of the past and through this contact learn to respect and reverence the rich heritage that is ours . . . Between classes a swift visit to the oratory helps us to refresh our spiritual life. It is from the Fount of Wisdom that each CST student draws her inspiration. We are proud to boast that ours is one of the few libraries of the world that has windows opening on the very Tab- ernacle of the Lord. Dorothy Brandt is se en in an act performed by every student many times a day — a short visit to the Oratory. 4 WITH A RATIONAL FOUNDATION Members of three classes are represented here, tracing the locus of a moving point. They are Marian Cutler (freshman) , Jean- nine McQuillen and Mary Jo Junker ( jun- iors), and Rosetta Pedicini (sophomore). Not only is formal training in the arts and sciences stressed for the de- velopment of our intellects, but we get together in informal groups and work out projects, often outside regular class hours . . . These are the times we shall treasure, for in such groups we learn to know each other intimately. Here is one of many groups who get to- gether frequently to listen to French records as part of the work in the conversation classes. They are Verna Lussier, Janet Linck, Pat Collins, Helen Fitzsimons, Mary Frances Esch, and Anne Smith. 5 For Intelligent Catholic Faith And principles of behavior consistent with it A Knowledge Of The Past Which leads us to take an interest in the present-day world APPRECIATION For NATURAL SCIENCE And Skills Necessary For Professional Training In the Biology Lab : Dorothy Scott, Pat Jordan, and Carol Miegel are recording respiration on the kymograph. Courses in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics enlarge our mental vi- sion and give us a glimpse into the very heart of matter . . . We are also carefully trained to take our place in the professional fields after grad- uation. 8 In the Chemistry Lab : Leonore Verde studies one of many complicated labels. KNOWLEDGE of the SOCIAL SCIENCES Here are four prospective elementary school teachers looking over some of their material in the special Education Library. They are Mary Jo Chiarelli, Marianne and Kathryn Kretschmer, and Mary Agnes Lynch. A knowledge of the social sciences leads us to understand peoples, to work with them and for them. Through courses in education we may obtain teacher certificates for both ele- mentary and secondary schools. Our student nurses may follow a three-year or four-year plan. The Sociology Department equips some of us each year to fill the need for social workers in our city. And our Home Eco- nomics Department prepares us to be good home-makers. Gloria O’Keefe cuts out a costume for one of the characters in Once in a Blue Moon. Co- operation of Departments makes for harmony. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES 1. College Day Breakfast : ' ' Let nothing affright thee” — Bishop Marling’s advice to Father Burke on his brave ac- ceptance of teaching post at College. 2.

Here is a typical group singing to the tune of the player piano. Jeanne Exler and Pat Folks, two newcomers in the second semester, demonstrate one phase of a boarder’s life. Laundering their clothes, cleaning their rooms, serving at table are all part of a resident students training. THE FRESHMAN CLASS 13 Sister Catherine Marie ( assistant bursar), Sister M.

Her dancing eyes, dimples and contagious smile have won her many friends. Alas, her blushes never cease to amaze us. Ability to take the initiative coupled with her high mental acumen should make her future bright and shining. She likes all outdoor sports but swimming, especially, is her favorite. With a major in Home Economics, her present plans in- clude doing work for The Gas Service Company. In the meantime, however, she’s practicing on all her friends, and really makes a wicked Dagwood sandwich. 33 t)orotlij. junker You can unburden your cares on Dorothy’s shoulders anytime! And don’t let the monstrous hypo instill you with a dread fear of this nurse-to-be. She’s the one in a million who loves the gift of gab in others, and this promises success in her career. Smitten with the wanderlust, Dorothy aspires to practice her nursing in the Air Force. And, with a mysterious gleam in her eye, she recommends St. Louis to all undergraduates.

She likes to cook, and her ambition is to conduct a nursery. Before she came to St. Teresa’s, she attended Kansas City Junior College. Just ask Pat anything about jewelry and she can tell you. Her weekend trips to St. Louis have made interesting discussions. 35 (J3etty _ lnn £)etten Two years of art, with straight A’s, time for the Student Coun- cil, and the year book! Why, ma’am, who else but a Texan could handle all that work with such efficiency and graciousness? True to her country, the Republic of Texas, Betty has made herself known to all with her winning smile and dimpled cheeks.

We were more than lucky when Pat put in her appearance at CST. In fact, we don’t see how we ever managed without her in our first two years. Pat has a smile for everyone and she’s just bound to like some- thing you do too. She likes ice skating, sterling silver, dancing, rais- ing African violets, cooking and sewing. There’s only one thing Pat doesn’t like and that’s people who don’t like Boston. 39 (jcralclinc _J i in u cane Witty, versatile, and willing to help others — blushing Jerry is all that and more. She is quite capable of wielding a gavel at Stu- dent Assemblies. Her car is always at the disposal of the school, week days and weekends. Her immediate love has always been French. And next to that — horseback riding (?). Jerry plans to be a social worker in the near future. We know that she will succeed in any- thing she tries.

A . unena Completely Americanized is this little miss from Quito, Ecuador, who tops her list of hobbies with pennant collecting — an American hobby. Playing no favorites, she has schools from Rockhurst to Notre Dame represented on her walls. But with all her outdoor interests — tennis, swimming, horse- back riding — she saves time to indulge in a boarders’ pastime — writing letters home. Though her pet peeve is getting up early, she has many fond memories to bring home with her in June. Her many souvenirs in her scrap book will be reminders of her four years here. 41 l lachne (f3i incicjcjia Nadine is never without her smile, whether in French class or taking notes at a class meeting. Her favorite pastime is sunbathing. As a booster of the yearbook, Nadine was crowned Miss Windmoor. During her four years of college here, her ambition was to get to school on time. She loves to drive her Buick, and to read books. And when she graduates her quiet sense of humor will aid her in social work.

Under any circumstances — even amongst her twelve brothers and sisters — Frances loves the world. Coopera- tion is her middle name, and it comes naturally. Next year this Irish miss hopes to shine in the classroom as she does on the tennis court. And with her domestic experience topped by a simple charm, she’s sure to win her first grade pupils. Her noisy brothers are her pet peeve, and when questioned as to the secret of her patience Frances just laughs, Boys will be boys!’’ Still she dreams of the day when she can sleep the year round. 43 B.A. in Piano Rita Wane OL Aon Who’s our favorite pianist in the Senior Class? You guessed it — none other than the talented Rita Olson. As a member of the chorus, Rita has been their faithful accompanist for the past four years. And at every musical activity she is sure to be found seated at the 88”. Nor has she been idle in other activities. She has been secretary of her class and of the Spanish Club; vice-president of the Athletic Association, and a member of the Sodality. One of her favorite pastimes is frequenting 07” and playing a quick rubber of bridge.

A sociology major and a lover of the written word, she peruses Spanish novels in her spare time. Each morning sees her scurrying from Overland Park to make an eight-thirty class, or to lend a helping hand in a school project. Ready, alert, and amiable Mary Ann revels in her reputa- tion of dependability. She includes a novelist career among her sev- eral aspirations. And, although she hasn’t decided on the subject matter or title, we have a sneaking suspicion that it might deal with philosophy. 45 CLASS Junior : Katie O’Neill Freshman: Mary Jane Kir schner Senior: Joanne Donahoe Sophomore: Joan Maurer PRESIDENTS 47 CAMPUS LEADERS Sodality Prefect ' .
