College of St Rose - Rose Leaves Yearbook (Albany, NY)

at eight-fifteen we found ourselves in as- sembly, painfully making out semester sched- ules. The year had hardly begun when tl1C student body was invited to attend the tra- ditional Junior Party, which was prCSCHfCCl primarily as a welcome to the freshmen. We were delightfully entertained by the whole- some and enjoyable program. Before we had time to realize it, we were in the midst of rehearsals for the Sophomore Party, at which we first of all welcomed the newcomers, and then initiated them. The theme of our enter- tainment was life On a Sophomore Planta- tion. Everyone in the class participated in this event. Miriam Taaffe and Kay Kenny were the master and mistress of the planta- tion, who, besides harmonizing on a popular song, also served as interlocuters. Loretta Guiltinan, the lyrical pride of our class, sang several musical selections, while Sophia I-lecox and Eleanor Heigel entertained with their dancing. We must not forget to mention that Esther Egleston and Ann Patti excel- lently portrayed the two little pickaninnies. With the generous co-operation of capable directors, willing actresses, talented students and a tube of black grease paint, the sopho- more class displayed its best, and produced 3 successful entertainment. It was not what the freshmen did, but how they did it during the initiation that displayed in no small way, their admirable honor, sportsmanship and school spirit. The entertainment together with the initiation and refreshments consti- tuted a party which the sophomore class will not soon forget, 24 The seniors, with their usual inspiring enthusiasm, started campaigning in Novem- ber for their Sport Dance at which the class of forty-two was well represented. It was evident that everyone was glad to be at another dance which was sponsored by her own college, and its success was indeed a model for all successive social events. At this point, the social life of our Alma Mater was again on its way. Early in the year came our first opportunity to join some of the college clubs. To the stu- dents, whose averages were high enough invitations were extended by the established members of the French club, the Latin club, the Italian club, and the Spanish club. Al- though as sophomores we could not hold ofhces in either the French club or the Latin .sGet Wisgf, barmwzize M. Taajfe and K. Kenny.

At these meetings, only the foreign tongue is spoken, except of course in the case of Latin. These language clubs encourage initiative, afford not only amusing but culturally valu- able enjoyment, and foster a deeper study of the foreign modes of speech and life itself. Even by this time, although it was still early in the year, We had a good taste of what a sophomore has to go through. The Commerce class had plunged headlong into shorthand, and had accepted its challenges courageously. At the same time, the nurses were confronted by anatomy. This was a valiant conflict, but the spirit of a true nurse is not easily defeated. Psychology of educa- tion also aroused a spirit of self-defense, for we did not quite know what was coming next. Speech was the course that really baffled us, when We realized that there was no valid excuse for not giving the prescribed number of speeches. It is no wonder that our self-confidence and above all our self control were developed and vvell trained! In spite of the fact that it seemed as if we had just started school, We were faced with the inevitable trial of mid-semesters as soon as We had caught up vvith November. Cf course those examinations are not really very crucial, but unfortunately they do presuppose a bit of study. In anticipation of the coming holiday, we accomplished and promptly for- got the mid-semesters. At last, the Thanksgiving Holidays ar- rived! Some of the students were fortunate 25
