Y R e a dy togreet the world, to welcome its t r i al s and s or r ow s with chin uplifted and eyes gazing steadily, Connie Vinardi steps out the doors of C.S.M. 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. Beauty and the bat is what every Col- lege W o r ld S e r i e s fan relishes.

Led by the clergy, members of the procession took al- ternating verses from the texts of the Old Testament which foretold of Mary's becoming the Mother of God. To re resh the soul, Following Mass in Marian Hall, students and faculty members approached the outside shrine to crown Mary the Queen of May. This year's ceremony was similar to the liturgical Bible vigil in which readings from scripture were alternated with a short homily explaining the significance of the text. Th e lit any of the Virgin followed the readings, uniting the past with the in- vocations of the present Church. Mary is the communicator of the Spirit who dwells within her in fulness. . .and of Christ in her eternal Motherhood. lt is the universal motherhood of Mary wh i c h draws the Christian man to her honor. For this same reason the Saint Marian dedicatesher- self th r o ugh th e closing prayer: My Queen,my Mother, I give myself entirely to thee and to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to thee this day my sight, my hearing, my speech, my heart and my whole being. Wherefore, O good mother, as l am thine own, keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession. Amen. .41 'Tin vf... .f H? - .7-PQ' :If pi-H,.vl'4'-' V fe?
