From the days when Campion was a college down to the present time, there has always been a Homecoming. And, at least to the seniors5 this yearas Homecoming will be remembered as the ideal. It began with a bonfire on a clear, cold October nightg it began with a proud team and coach promising a beginning, a renewal. And Homecornings should be beginnings and renewals. It fulfilled itself in victory, 21-7, over the Newman Cardinals. There is a royalty in victory, and on the field Jim Brophy held baronial swayg his determined charges spurred the Knights on. They were a team that could not and would not be beaten. And Homecomings should be victories. Off the field there was another royalty as Queen Mary Boyle reigned supreme with Marie Stein, Karen Konstant, and Molly Walz assisting in her court. Saturday night Greenwich Village pro- vided a sophisticated backdrop for the happy spirit of the Victory Dance. And Homecomings should be happy. Sunday meant that the parents and girlfriends must leave, but the victory and memory remained, And Homecomings should never end. . ' if Y f v 5 it W1 Q, i 'W -fr Campion spirit burns bright.

New Xavier Hall, I rl 32, . 1.- .,, l New Hall. . X ,. 4 j 5. F Blessing of Xavier Hall. Borger at 3 a.m. 1 V pw' P pf, ff.Z k' --Y On their return to Campion this fall, the senior class found that they had come into their own after three long years of hope and expectation. Their dreams materialized before them upon entrance into Xavier Hall, the new senior dorm. It seems that Xavier Hall, the newest develop- ment in Campionis long-range building program, was built with the students in mind, it presents grounds upon which students can sow the seed of responsibility. This responsibility not only includes taking care of the new building entrusted to them, but also the regulation of their own daily schedule. Seniors now have optional free study or free tirne, with only one hour and forty min- utes of strict study. This arrangement now prepares stu- dents for the great responsibility which will be put on their shoulders in college. In addition to being a dorm, Xavier Hall also houses a large recreation room, television room, 'ette and Knight rooms and a modern rifle range. The dedication of the building itself was performed by the Very Reverend John Foley, SJ., the Provincial of the Wisconsin Province. The ceremony included the blessing of all the rooms and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
