Activities? Of course! Besideslclass hours, there were convoca- tions and Sunday night programselectures, musicals, movies and illustrated talks-that we all enjoyed. And for activities of the other kind, there were mixers, and the formal dances given by the Bennies and the J ohnnies-the Facula formal, and the rest. They were a new college experience for most of us. But now the war is over! Then there were the teas, with Ann Rose inevitably at the piano, and Donna Coyne at the silver service; there were the riotous bridge hands one eould find in the R0 at almost any time. We liked the toast and cocoa sign and the tempting smells coming from the tea room on Saturday nights; those of us who couldn,t possibly week-end-those classes againealways found something to do. Speaking of tempting things, what is more enticing than wieners and coffee served in the lodge at fall picnics? And speaking of fall, has anyone seen more stiff people in one place than the students of St. Benedictts after just a few pageant practices? There were also the class parties, the trip the history students took to the Art Museum in Minneapolis, and the other trips to plays and games elsewhere. We couldn,t forget the plays, Christmas on the Village Square and Our Town, or any of the college concerts. Even the grand weather contributed to the yearts fun. In winter, it made us want to skate, or slide, or just walk, enjoying the snow; in spring or fall, it added equally. Activities? Why, of course!
