X indmoor Jr ’s the senior class college of st. teresa ,, kansas city, missouri LET notktn disturb tbec. Nothing affright tbcc; All things are passing GOD never changeth; Patient endurance Attaineth to all thlngsj Who GOO posscssetk In nothing is wanting Alone GOD sufficeth. Book Mark of St. Teresa To St. Teresa of Avila, our patroness, we dedicate the 1953 Windmoor. As a leader in her day, she inspired others to follow her. Hers was a spiritual, intellectual, active and modern life. Under her patronage, we too, the Catholic leaders of the future, must be spiritual, intellectual, active and modern. In our college life we must embody the ideals carried out by St. Teresa in her com- munity, for college life is a community life where all the merttbers, both faculty and students, share with each other their treasures. Unlike our sixteenth century patroness we will not be called upon to found monasteries or conduct a great reform, but we will be expected to achieve in our own little way what St. Teresa did so brilliantly through her example, and thus draw souls to Christ. She was learned with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, drank deep at the fountains of knowledge, and loved as only the heart of a mystic can love. May her symbols — the burning lamp, the book and the quill, and the pierced heart— be ours! table of DEO inon| ADJU- Tl- VAN- MEN- TE DUH under the patronage of St. teresa of avila our college life must be like her own . . . spiritual intellectual • active • modern . 0 .. in our community • . we have leaders faculty student council who ' s who organization leaders and people who work with them . seniors juniors sophomores freshmen and we do things together orientation— college days— plays formal dances— key day father-daughter banquet talent shows— parties— retreat exams— comprehensives— prom baccalaureate— graduation in every community we have LEADERS president dean registrar librarian student counsellor mother m.

The thirteen girls who made up the cast were: Jean Hurley in the title role of Rumpel; Ann Clark and Kathleen McDonnell in the comic roles of the miller and his wife; Lyn Moyer as the miller ' s daughter who married the prince played by Cynthia Worth. Madoline Martin played the part of the king, and Beth Mullin was Mother Hulda. Other players included Mary Foley as Karen, Georgina Miller as Ingert and Mary Ellen Denning as Gothel. The dancers were Eileen Hertzel, Peggy McCoskrie, and Dolores Hiles. Sister M. Felice directed the production. Rumpelstiltskin marked the fifth year of children ' s plays presented by the college. Previous plays were Ci nderella, The Elves and the Shoemaker, and Hansel and Gretel. This year ' s production of the children ' s the- atre drew a crowd of 1200 during a four-day run from November 19-22. 45 open house Parents and friends get a bird ' s eye view of what goes on within the inner sanctum of a college classroom . . . yearbook staff display sample pages of layout, commercial students demonstrate the latest gadgets, the Glee Club furnish the music, and the home ec students serve coffee and cookies of their own making.

Her attendants were Mary Jane Weissbeck and Martha Himmelburg. The game between Rockhurst and Baker ended in a victory for the Hawks. aeadiier than the male Directed by Helen Fitzsimons and Mary Edith Lillis, senior speech and drama majors, this is a delightful comedy woven around an exclusive beauty salon and an intriguing spy plot. Pictured during rehearsals are the directors in a moment of despair, a typical scene in the beauty salon.

And then comes spring fever early in March • The senior play, Deadlier Than the Male, directed by Helen and Mel. • The Father-Daughter Banquet at the Muehlebach— Dad the Man of Distinction. • The regional NFCCS spring convention on campus. • May-Day, rich with memories of flowers and songs for Mary. • The Prom, lovely, and light, and airy. • Class Day with rewards for distinguished services. • Baccalaureate, solemn and serious. • And Graduation, the end of the beginning. And these too are only highlights, only rec- ords of events. Some where between the pages of your WINDMOOR are tucked away more precious riches garnered during the years spent under the aegis of St. Teresa of Avila— your own memories of friendships and success, of heartaches and even failures, of loyalty and trust. — Windmoor editor patrons Kathleen Flaherty, Miss Windmoor of 1 952, gained a victory for the senior class by winning the ad drive for the 1952 annual.
