The Library pniHP m ifyi • ■ • M k ■ ■ ' wm ainKii A .Jipf J8 The library, fifteen minutes before class time: Even students who don’t read Thoreau will know what he meant by “quiet desperation. To the uninitiate, the library can be a place of mystery— “Where are the bound Commonweals, and how do 1 find the mean temperature of South Africa in 1950?’’ To the senior, though, it’s almost a habit (she can find her wav to her major subjects stacks with her eves closed) and a place of memories . . . the nu- merous races to get a reserve book back under (or slightly over) the wire . . . the struggles to carry six volumes, with a term paper due next week . . . the passing surprise at the library ' s new look’’ this year . . . the perpetual puzzle of the Sumnia — “Was it I, II or II, I? . . . the flurry of excitement in the reference room when Somebody came in wear- ing an engagement ring . . . the uncharacteristic noise and confusion which invades once each semester, on registration day.

Art and Math Partners Drawing lias a place in the Department of Mathe- matics, also. However, when you re constructing a projection, the result is expected to be exact, not creative. Right, Sister Pachomia supervises as Mary Eppenauer and Winifred Purdome engage in some mathematical art. The subject of art seems to spread itself widely over the campus. One finds Oil Painting classes in the Art Annex (called by some the Laundry), Life Drawing in Music and Arts, and History of Art in Donnelly I Iall. Art students are also adept at ceramics, fresco work, and poster making. Above, Donna Spivey and Sister Georgiana Marie con- sider the merits of an oil canvas. At the left Pamela Osborne is the subject for Marilyn Kram ' s life drawing project.

Breakfast in the cafeteria is part of the Confraternity of Christian Doc- trine’s Rally Day proceedings. In the background is Ilis Excellency, Archbishop Edwin V. O’Hara, National Director of the CCD. Rally Day was attended by students of Catholic colleges in the Midwest Region, as well as Newman Club students on secular campuses. This year the CCD, under the chairmanship of Mary Ellen Denning, had a record of achievement that led to its receiving the regional Confra- ternitv chair of NFCCS. It ' s hard to tell which “kiddies” had more fun at the Sodality Christmas Party, the ones from CST or the ones from St. Joseph’s grade school. Tere- sians sang carols and passed refreshments while Santa Grigsby distributed gifts to the guests. The Sodality also sponsors an Easter-egg hunt each Easter Monday for the underprivileged children of St. Patrick Center.
