The Presi- dent of the Student Council, Pat carries on three conversations at a time in her spare moments. She is Editor of the Yearbook, was Council Representative last year, and is a busy writer for the Teresian She is an English major and plans to teach in high school. She’s a member of Who’s Who. Georgie Porgie is her favorite nursery rhyme. % VIRGINIA BROWN Here is a girl full of spunk and energy. She energeti- cally changed her major a number of times before she settled on elementary education in her junior year. She can be sure because she tested all the others! Bouncy V. B. was elected Vice-President of her Senior Class. MARY SUE BRONCATO A combination of beauty and brains, she wins the heart of every patient (not to mention the doctors). Mary Sue was Vice-President of her junior class of nurses. She has not planned to devote her life com- to the profession as there is a man in her and she already has a house of her own. MARTY SCHMELTZ Mary Lou seems to take the cake as far as all-around interests are concerned. Some of her pet projects are the Hospital Sodality, of which she is Vice-Prefect, a lovely singing voice, and a passion for Latin Ameri- can dancing. She has a high-spirited and cheerful personality which helps her to make good friends quickly. A late-comer to the class of ’59, she was saved from two hours of transit travel a day by her ever faithful surprise birthday present — the blue Ford. Marty is a former student of Fontbonne and T.C.U., but she decided she must have her degree from the one and only College of St. Teresa. Her plans are to teach in the elementary schools. This merry little redhead would give you the shirt right off her back. She is the Mariology Commission Chairman for NFCCS and has a full program, with elementary education for her major. She talks and worries about all she has to do, but can always find time to help you out. Last year she was Vice-Presi- dent of the Sodality. She’s in Who’s Who for ’59- Mi ' ll- U (t sTMstUbt IY MAUREEN MI RPir She’s a sophisticated lady, who plans to teach in the elementary grades. Maureen is a walking dictionary, but her definitions don’t always agree with Webster’s. This fresh-looking, brown-eyed, brunette was Rock- hurst Homecoming Attendant her freshman year and Vice-President of the class the same year. MARY JO DE FEO Mary Jo will make an excellent housewife. She majored in Home Ec and is willing to talk about it (or anything else) on the spot. This lively, busy Secretary of the Senior Class feels the need to teach so she can have her say. I 7 . - 5 ' a JOYCE GUEGUEN Being Vice-President of the Student Association on the Linwood campus and Miss St. Joseph Student Nurse of 1959 are two honors busy Joyce has ac- cumulated in her college career. As she likes to get things done, she may issue orders like a machine gun. But she has her softer side too — seen in her fascina- tion for sunsets and moonglow. JOANNE AINSWORTH A Business major, she is soft-spoken but will talk freely on certain subjects. She was President of her Sophomore Class and the Senior Student Council Representative for a semester. Poor Joanne has blond- ish hair that is never the right length. She’s a member of Who’s Who for ’58-’59. 4 . ' 4s 0- CAROLINE LEVY The sensible one” is treasurer of the Senior class of nurses. Her kind understanding makes Laura a perfect confidante and feud arbitrator. She is ever willing to lend a helping hand and some experienced advice. Caroline’s a Business major who plans to teach. She has a headstart as she’s been teaching in the Business Department here this year. She is strict, so her class- mates think. She is sure to win first prize in the Miss Neatest Dressed” contest. Caroline is the Senior Student Council Representative for second semester. i CARMELITA BERGUP On the floor, Mary Ellen has a reserved, professional air, but off duty she has a reputation for being loads of fun. Her smiling Irish blue eyes coupled with an uncanny ability to analyze people, are two things with which Mary Ellen keeps the men gueessing. GAYLE WAGESTER Gayle is a Biology major who is studying to be a Medical Technologist.- She has a peachy complexion but won’t tell what soap she uses. She’s enthusiastic about everything she does and always wears a smile. She is the record-keeping southern belle on campus. Her job as Vice-President of the Student Council gave her the fun of straightening out those club meeting times. She divides her time between campus and hospital, and has become an expert on the Kansas City public transit system. Good-natured and smart spell success for Carm. She was elected to the 1959 Who’s Who. 7 ■ZsCtC l MARY ELLEN O’KEEFE r l CARMELLA SHORTINO Carm is scrupulous about her grades; even when they’re all A pluses she squawks. She is President of ' our CCD and plans to teach in the Elementary Schools. Her major is Education. She was elected to Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. She can quietly but surely accomplish a great deal. j . EMELEY PEREZ The effervescent Perfect of the Sodality gets so car- ried away with her topic she has to be slowed down to be understood. This brown-eyed talking machine is a chemistry major with a positive approach to life. She has a business head and put it to good use on the yearbook staff. She was voted into Who’s Who this year. ELAINE LUNN Elaine is known to the dorm as the official waker- upper” for Mass. She is earnest and a good friend to all who know her. There is little streak of the sentimental in Elaine and at times she likes just being alone. She possesses a pious cheerfulness which in- spires those around her. f � PAT CAHILL Pat can best be described as bombastic. Her class- mates say she has a voice that can be heard ’round the world. Her love of fun, food, and sleep is bal- anced on the serious side by aspirations to a future in surgery somewhere around Las Vegas. Pat is the President of the Senior Class of nurses. ALYCE MARIE SCHMIDT This blonde English major keeps her classes in stitches with her droll observations. She served, last year, as President of her class. She is well on her way in a dramatic career, having played with the Resident Theatre here, as well as in school productions. Look out, Helen Hayes! BERNADINE ABBOTT A History major, she’s the silent type, who thinks a long while before she says anything. She some- times startles people with her quick wit; they think she has been day-dreaming. Bernadine’s as busy as a kitten with a ball of string, but she finds’ time to teach handicapped children for CCD. She studies hard and has been elected to Who’s Who. M ' u! h JUDY HEDENKAMP Judy is the picture of tall, slender efficiency. Known for speaking her mind, she is another of the engageed seniors. Her efficiency is pointed out by the fact that she possesses the best-stocked hope chest among the nurses. Judy’s favorite song, well known to her classmates, is Bill.” MARY McQUEENY Mary, an English major, is relaxed and easy-going. She doesn’t let all those term papers interfere with her pleasant outlook. She was the class treasurer during her junior year and has est ablished herself as an actress in school productions. Mary won’t ever get grey hair or wrinkles. CLARIBEL McLEAR V )ic 0 The candy kid,” she could outsell anyone in the field of butter bits. But she showed just as much enthu- iasm for any project of her class. What with mixing getting a BA in Business, becoming a grandmother, and helping out in every office of the college, she can say she has had a really full four years. 1£ZZy. £C -rzttic - jzjz- ' ' zje ' V £ £ P C Co ' MARY JO SCHULTZ f Mary Jo is a Business major with big, blue eyes. She’s the quiet type but when she’s made a point she sticks to her guns. She could easily qualify as ' Miss Prettiest Blush.” n CAROEYN BOUSMAN Little frail voice with the little bitty frame make up Miss Behind-the-Scenes of 1959- Although she may have the habit of ending a positive sentence with a question in her voice, her positive thinking has brought her through the presidency of her Senior class and an English major to teach in secondary schools. Her real future, however, lies with a dark curly-headed fella. She’s in Who’s Who. ■a.} RITA HALL The fashion plate of the Senior Class, Rita never fails to be the belle of all our parties. She is always busy and bustling, but has such a hard time getting things accomplished. The surprise of the year was when she returned to school with a diamond ring, green Cadillac. KAREN BOCK Frank and impulsive, Karen is always ready for a good time. She was President of the Junior Class of nurses and was the most popular gal in the hospital when the nurses needed a ride. She also enjoys the reputation of being one of the best groomed girls in Rossiter. ALICIA MOUNT Quite and reserved, but always on hand to do the job, Alicia is an asset to the Home Economic De- partment. She has been at the college two years, coming here from Junior College, but during her two years she has made friends in her quiet way. VNr ' J (fvw - AJOhO- A_£i_ vJv GWEN CHAPPELL ' NV ' K V - Gwen is interested in element y education and sod vC ta classroom is going to be lucky in getting a generous 1 OoNAljf cheerful teacher.

Gwen never passes anyone VN) ' ' v v- in the halls without a big, friendly smile and a hello. Pot °y)(i si PAT HAIR As one who can get along with everyone, Pat rates close to the top. She is the youngest in her class but is recognized as a diplomat with a congenial and uncomplaining nature. Pat is the secretary of the senior nursing class but her interests also lie in the domestic field. Could being engaged have anything to do with this? the dry humor, who enjoys the f beupp, strictly Bohemian— none of this J fjpr! her.

The Student Council acts as a link betweeen the Faculty and the Student Body. It takes Administration policies to the students and enforces various campus regula- tions. It also plans all activities involving the entire student body on both the Main St. and Linwood campuses. Elections for Student Council officers are held in the spring, and all members are elected from the incoming classes before the end of the school year except the Freshmen Class. Representatives are chosen as follows: President and Vice-President, Senior Class; Secretary, Junior Class; Treasurer, Sophomore Class; all officers from the Student Association at the hospital; one representative from each class; religious clubs representative; Senior delegate of NFCCS; representative of school publications; representative of resident students; and President of the Freshman Class. Carolyn Bousman Joanne Ainsworth Who’s Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges is an organization planned for the recognition of students outstanding in all aspects of their student vocation. At the College of St. Teresa, new members are selected by a joint faculty-student committee. The nominee must have qualities of scholarship, leade rship, coopera- tion in education and extra-curricular activities, general citizenship, and promise of future use- fulness. This year’s additions to Who’s Who from C.S.T. include Carolyn Bousman, senior class president;- Joanne Ainsworth, who was student council rep- resentative first semester this year and has been president of her class. Pat Rehagen is president of the Student Council; Carm Bergup, vice-pres- ident. Emmy Perez heads the Sodality and Carm Shortino is president of the CCD on campus. Bernadine Abbott offers her services as chairman of the teachers’ division of the CCD. Margie Courter works for NFCCS as the midwest regional chairman of the Mariology Commission. Char- lene Mathews has been busy off campus this year but was formerly treasurer and then secretary of the Student Council. j l Pat Rehagen Emmeley Perez Margaret Courter Carmelita Bergup Bernadine Abbott Carmella Shortino Charlene Mathews Nancy Schmitz Golden Echo editor The Teresian, school newspaper, has consistently won recognition for outstanding work. At present the paper holds the plaque from the Missouri College Newspaper Association for the top paper during 1957-58. Virginia, a junior, has edited the paper since her freshman year. The Golden Echo, literary journal, for the twelve years it has been published, has been awarded All Catholic” by the Catholic School Press Association. Out- standing work done by members of the creative writing classes is published in the Golden Echo twice each year. Nancy has edited the journal for the past two years. Both publications are under the direction of Sister Marcella Marie. A. rT t This committee is composed of the presidents and moderators of the four classes and twelve clubs and organizations on campus. The moderator is the dean and the chairman is the vice-president of the Student Government Association. The SAB is interested in all functions in which the student body participates through membership in class or club. The purpose of this committee is to set up a schedule of monthly meetings and organize the extra-curricular activity on campus. Any new club formed at CST must sub- mit a constitution to the SAB and receive a charter to function on campus. Club Day in the fall is a special project to acquaint the freshmen and new students with this aspect of student life on campus.

There’s always a bowl of fruit for the dieters, but plenty of candy for those who don’t care. SISTER M. de LA SALLE: Not just directing the chorus or giving music lessons, but when there’s en- tertainment Sister is there in the midst of it. Remember the song- fest in the cafeteria — the one to advertise the movie to make money to buy the hope chest to raffle at the fashion show? Complicated, isn’t it? SISTER M. GEORGIANA: If you’re looking for Sister you’ll find her literally tied to the Registrar’s Office. It’s not only credits and transcripts and report cards along with registration, but lost and founds that send students to the handiest office on campus. For a speedy typing job, Sister Carmella is always on hand in the same office. THE REVEREND HUGH FARRINGTON, O.S.B.

It’s not only money that is found in the Bursar’s Office, but plants. If any faculty member has a sick plant , Sister Catherine Marie takes it in and before long the two leaves will have multiplied and the sickly green turned to a healthy hue. n n .

PERLL, M.D. B.S., M.D., Creighton University. Our education began formally on Septem- ber 14 when we underwent the first of a barrage of tests and social get-togethers. Speeakers, pamphlets, teas, and conferences acquainted us with the various facets of this new organization called college. Soon after these preliminaries, we were given our first opportunity to ring forth and make ourselves heard. We arranged our class schedules. Running from counsellor to registrar, back to counsellor, and finally to the dean, left us bewildered and perplexed as to the exact meaning of credit hour, cut, and honor point. By September 17, we were tired but WE FELT WELCOMED! After school began our orientation continued every Friday. Again we adopted new ideas, re- ceived leaflets and literature, and listened to eminent speakers from our own college, charm schools, and vocational institutions. We are probably the most orientated class the college has ever had. Thanks to Eugenia Koos, the student advisor, the Freshman Orientation Program has been a success and we have profited by her dedicated time and effort. 1 On the feast of our patroness, St. Teresa of Avila, October 15, we celebrate College Day. It is a time for receiving, as in harvest. The freshmen don academic caps and gowns for the first time and officially be- come ’college women.” The nurses receive capes, symbol of their dedication. At an all-school banquet, greetings from alumnae are heard. But College Day is, first of all, a day of giving, of consecration to the task ahead. This attitude is marked by the solemnity of the full academic pro- cession by which it is begun and the sacred Benedic- tion by which it is closed. For its first effort of the new school year, each class contributes a song to the annual competition. Each class also decorates ten cars, according to a pre-selected theme, to compete in the highlight of the day, the College Day Parade! We Love a Parade! Even when it’s an on-again, off-again, but, Sister, we’ve-already-finished-our-decorations affair such as this year’s. Because of Pope Pius XII’s death, it was deemed advisable to postpone or eliminate the pa- rade-part of College Day. Accordingly, the parade was postponed till late November when Tessie-Goes- Around-the-World went around Kansas City to everyone’s delight but especially that of the Juniors, who won the day! Some 44 retreatants clustered in the hall and on the steps while waiting for the bus which was to take them to Conception, Missouri. This was the first of three scheduled closed retreats which take place during the school year. It was raining when the girls finally croweded the bus in order to get away from it all over the weekend. Two other retreats were held at Gethsemane Retreat House in Kansas City. Those who could not attend one of the scheduled retreats made private ones. These required retreats take the place of the former all-school retreat which was discontinued two years ago because of increased enrollment.

These choral festivities were part of the Senior Key Night held December 10. Amid an atmosphere of solemnity each senior was presented with her class pin, a symbol of her union with and fidelity to her alma mater. The presentations were made by the President of the College, Sister M. Alfred. The Reverend James P. Lyons, former theology instructor and now pastor in Savannah, Missouri, was the speaker. The choral part of the program was under the direction of Sister M. de La Salle. Following the ceremonies, t he Music Club served coffee and cookies and punch to the seniors and their friends. THE SODALITY PARTY Another must on the December list was the Sodal- ity party held, December 18, in the cafeteria for the children from St. Monica’s School. Santa (Mr. Biter) and his helpers (Mr. Bryde and Mr. Kpnt) dis- tributed gifts to the children. After both the children and the sodalists feasted on ice cream and orangeade, the first-graders entertained their hostesses with Christmas songs. Then it was time to pack the kid- dies into cars along with their toys and baskets of food for their family and return them home. I g r;fl y 1 — j P V I Lv ] jr j T en of the eighteen girls who made the Dean’s list ( a 2.5 average or better ) are: STANDING: Cathy Ryan (2.6); Kathy McCarthy (2.5); Sallie Schreiber (2.5); Margaret Hegel (2.7); Jean Carter (2.8); Ann Banfield (2.6); Sharon Hale (2.5); Alyce Marie Soptick (2.6). SEATED: Vir- ginia Batholome (3); and Sandra Janousek (3). Those not in picture: Sister Suzanne (3); Kathleen Burnes (2.5); Carolyn Gist (2.7); Sister Immaculata Goth (2.7); Jewel Herrick (2.5); Frances Scholz (3); Frances Spruill (2.5); and Leonette Strizek (2.6). The Wingfield Women: crippled Laura, played by Pat Turpin, and neu- rotic Amanda, played by Sandra Janousek, as they appeared in the last scene of The Glass Menagerie. Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie, directed by John C. Kent, drama instructor, was especially well-received by the college students. Tom, the lead, was played by Mr. Kent. Amanda as played by Sandra Janousek, was a thoroughly pitiable woman. Sandra did a remarkable job in interpreting this character and established a fine balance between the comic and the tragic. Pat Turpin as Laura presented a vivid picture of the innocent crippled sister. Pat’s sincerity in portraying the role was most convincing. The fourth role was that of the gentleman caller, played by Rex Waggoner. With four talented actors the play was warmly received. Behind the Scenes Behind every social activity that involves eating — and every social activity involves eating — is the crew of dishwashers and servers. Here are three of the group that helped out during the NF council meeting: Janet Hansen, Linda Grace, and Virginia Bartholome. a z UL These letters are short for NFCCS, which in turn stands for the National Federation of Catholic Col- lege Students. The aim of the federation is to pro- mote an awareness in college students of their in- tellectual and apostolic responsibilities. NF is a service organization which provides various campus clubs with materials in order that these clubs may give the students an adequate stimulus to attain this goal of the student apostolate. Sandra Janousek, standing, is the senior del- egate of NF and Marilyn Marshall is the junior delegate. Both girls attended the na- tional meeting last summer in San Francis- co. They were hostesses for the Midwest Re- gional Council of NF which met on cam- pus last February. There was royalty at the Nurses’ Valentine Day dance held in their auditorium: From left to right: JoAnn Zosso and her escort Jim Rittenhaus; Gene Bryan and her escort John Hayes; Father Joseph Freeman, S.J., Ann Breslin and her escort Joe Torres; and Pat Durrant and her escort Paul Huff. The Queen is Mary Lou McMichael and her escort Mike Hitch- cock. Young male attendants are Johnny Lunn and Rickey McMichael. Approving smiles mirror the success of the biggest date of the year for St. Teresa girls. Fathers are so much younger than we thought, and we are surprised that they are so apt at doing the newer dances. This year everyone received all of the swiss steak dinner, and after much confusion, Father Hugh was just a perfect speaker. Even with beans all over the floor, two brave squares did some very passable square dancing. And to add variety to the evening, Jack Colvin and his band organized the always-fun Ho- key Pokey. It was the best Father-Daughter Banquet yet — till next year’s. I Spring time at CST means children’s theatre. For the eleventh consecutive year, some 1500 children of the neighborhood have the opportunity to see live theatre played by college actors. Beyond the Mountain was written by Sister Marcella Marie with music by Sister de La Salle. The Production was directed by Sister M. Felice. Sister M. Felice and Sister Marcella Marie check the script of the play. After the five-day run at the col- lege, the play will be submitted to publishers for consideration. Two of the popular characters from the play are Snip, played by Pat Turpin, and Highlo, played by Tomasina Degnan. It is Highlo, the w andering troubadour, with the aid of his sprite, Snip, who rescues the children from the kingdom of the wicked Mayor of Wurttemburg. THE CAST OUT OF COSTUME FRONT ROW: Bonnie Hud- son, Mary Wahlstedt, Marcella Bergup, Bettye Schmitz, and Kay Leitner. BACK ROW: Sandra Janousek, Kathleen Burns, Anna Jane Wright, Barbara Rush, Martha Snell, and Tomasina Degnan. Joyce Guegen was elected Miss Stu- dent Nurse” by the nursing students. Second semester always brings with it a group of new faces. Here are five of them: Peggy Jedlicka, Nancie RaGusa, Dorothy Hale, Nancy McAdoo, Marita Rodriguez. Seniors strive in sack: JoAnn Ainsworth and Charlene Mathews try a little team- work at the annual Field Day. Beverly Boutross Judy Gleeson One of the most delightful assemblies of the spring was the Music Recital given by the five girls pictured above together with singing by the Vocal Ensemble and the CST Chorus. Kathy Fahlstrom played Dett’s Juba Dance”; Veronica Lyons played De- bussy’s Minstrels”; Judy Gleeson played Brahms’ Ballade in G minor” and Copland’s The Cat and the Mouse.” This latter was a general favorite. Beverly Boutross played Macdowell’s Concerto in D minor” (first Veronica Lyons Kathy Fahlstrom Anita Alverez movement). Sister de La Salle accompanied her at the second piano. Anita Alvarez played Weaver’s Laughing Water from Copper Country Sketches” on the organ. The CST Vocal Ensemble sang When Mi- chael Plays” and Men.” The CST Chorus sang, Sophomoric Philosophy,” Barney O’- Hea,” How Do I Love Thee”, and ' Hol- iday Song.” Sodality Prefect Emeley Perez had the singular honor of crowning the statue of our Lady at the traditional May Day ceremonies May 12. May Day at St. Teresa’s is a spiritual ac- tivity. After the Prefect received her crown from the Student Council President she and her court, fol- lowed by the entire student body garbed in academic dress, walked to the Grotto of the Blessed Lady where the coronation took place. Then followed a Holy Hour. Dur- ing this religious ceremony, the stu- dents renewed their act of conse- cration to Mary. BACCALAUREATE What a learned word, rich in con- notations of laurel berries and youth! In these ceremonies we receive our hoods, symbols of the beginning of our life of learning. As we watch our teachers wearing or carrying the dis- tinctive hoods of their alma mater with their master or doctor insignia, we realize that we are now a part of that world of letters. Our college days in our pretty home town are just about over and after graduation we shall re- live them in memory only.
