Key Night . . . the year’s first formal re- cital for the chorus, and for the seniors, a sudden step toward graduation . . . after Miss Ann Stewart’s address, they began to realize, “Senior — heavens, that means LIS!” Then, in the dusk of the backstage seniors lined up to receive their keys . . . each one had the same worry- ing thought— “What if they for- get to call MY name?” . . . but no one was forgotten . . . the Christmas Concert was followed by a reception in the foyer . . . punch and cookies for students, parents, and friends.

College Day . . . came on October 14 this vear, and was the largest ever. The schedule was the same— proces- sion, investiture, Holy Mass, brunch, singing, car contest, and parade. But there were so manv Teresians that tables for brunch were set up in the hall . . . students moved into the cafeteria to hear the address by Rev. Arthur Tighe . . . seniors spent a hectic evening-before, trying to remember their songs of the past three years . . . car contest was so large that double-file had to be effected at the O far end of the circle . . . for a while it looked like a toss-up between “She Goes to St. Teresa’s and She’s Planning a Career,” “She’s an All-American Girl,” “She Prays, Studies, and Plays, and “She’s Going to See ‘Cinderella.’ ... The freshmen and “Cinderella finally won (remember Sylvia Shoemaker and Mary Margaret Myers, the Mean Stepsisters with the giant, false eyelashes?) . . . police escorts gave the parade an official tone . . . then back to the cafeteria for ice cream, coke, and a cake box to the faculty. . . . The freshmen were now really freshmen, the nursing students reallv nursing students, and College day was over.

Father Joseph Nadeau, O.P., meets with students informally outside the theology office. Left to right around the circle: Carolyn Bousman, Janet Walterback, Ann Burlingame, Donna Ross, Pat Broyles, and Roberta Haftner. In class and outside, the priest-professors are important figures on campus. The job of leading students to wisdom through Theology is a full-time one. Freshmen soon found the c ' ollege theology was not mere repetition of high school religion. They found, also, that teachers are always on hand to answer ques- tions (and raise them), whether the subject is in the Summa or in the social field.
