N 1 Through the doors gladly. Through the doors into a Wealth of light and gaity. Mary K. Owens and her escort walk into the dance to the spring soiree. Eyes meet, a smile A warm, gentle evening in April, the month of budding and growing, of blades of grass pushing through the earth, of trees adorning th e m s e l v e s w i t h spring-green leaves. An air of rebirth, of the breeze finding something to say and whispering it through the tree-tops, of laughter still deep inside but beginning to bubble up and showing itself in wide, sudden smiles. On a night like this, April 22, 1966-- the Spring Soiree. The dance commemorating the return of the grass, the leaves, the soft pastels and their favorite beaus escort them to the Schimmel Inn Cavalier Room. Carl Jay leads his orchestra in creating the w a V e s of music that sweep o v e r the room. A spell reigns and the couples dance into the night, dancing to the soft sounds and breathing in the sweet smells of the s p r i ng that had been gone too long. These feet were made for dancing, and that's just what of time gone by, of time yet to come. Dancing with the they are doing, dancing to a mood number by C arl Jay moment, the moment which will never come again, but and his orchestra. Dancing across the floor f o r g e tful through a memory---lovely, sweet, and never dy 1 ng.

An award is but a superficial indication of the worth of the person to whom it is given. A medal can say that this person dis- plays incentive and industry, that her personality is pleasing, that working for her is not work but fun. These things a medal can say, but it can never approach the r e al w or t h of the person honored. One such p e r s on is C on n i e Vinardi, honorary member of the American Associa- tion of University Women. The AAUW, an organization which studies national and in- ternational problems, provides both leader- ship and opportunities for college women. Barb Colfer, recipient of the Medal of St. Catherine, an Undergraduate Achievement Award of Kappa Gamma Pi, was honored as a potential Kappa. Each year the outstanding undergraduate performing some s e r v i c e of having the best record of p r og r e s s i v e achievement is awarded this medal.
