x A 'sa ls a li if t f ai an l l 1 ball sponsored by our regiment. February saw us in full operations at our Junior Prom, a success which won us another Silver Star. Next month we earned another citation when we carried off honors at the Play Contest. We studied, revised, and finally approved the strategy for the Junior-Senior Luncheon, encamping at last in the Biltmore for the gala occasion. As our history accumulated with amazing rapidity, the panorama of world history added earth-shaking events to its annals. The President of our nation died and but a few weeks later word came that our fellow forces of American men had won victory in Europe. In Camp Mount Saint Vincent we celebrated that momentous news in the spirit which gov- erned all our operations-heartfelt prayer and spiritual thanksgiving. Tradition claimed us for 'its own, when in the last drill of the year we accepted with a thrill and a shade of superciliousness the long coveted Senior Walk. One more group citation, the A. A. Cup for the second consecutive year, and we were off on our last summer maneuvers. We returned this September, the most revered and respected outfit in the camp. We had suffered several casualties throughout our career, so that our ranks claimed only ninety-six members. Audrey Gallon was executive officer of the entire camp this year, with Joan Gard- ner serving as her energetic aide. Maureen O'Brien took over as the commanding officer of the Senior Regiment. Plans got under way for the annual report, The Parapet, which was placed in the hands of our capable general, Grace Lyons. Fall operations were numerous. We again carried off the prize medals at the Horse Show and relaxed a few weeks later at our own private Tea Dance. Our last Christmas in the camp was our happiest. The night before our holiday leave, we trudged over the snowy campus flinging a volley of carols and songs as we went. We were back again in no time, facing what was almost our last battery of exams. Then in February, fearful lest we depart from them with only memories of blue books and term papers, our spirited commanding officers banded together to produce the Faculty F rolics, an hilarious show which proved the good sportsmanship and affection of those under whom we had served. As a climax to our host of accomplishments, we poured our deepest feeling into-our last regiment song, and carried off top rank at the Song Contest. What our orders are to be when we are commissioned on the field in May are as yet a military secret for us, but we are confident and hopeful that we shall meet our call'to arms with the courage and loyalty i'n which we have been so well trained at Mt. St. Vincent. Rnom LEARY
