Our class took particular interest in the manner in which the juniors executed their plans, in view ol the fact that in one year we should be exerting our every effort toward the success of our ,junior Prom. With lovely gowns, a wonderful orchestra, colorful and attractive decorations and charming friends, everyone BO chology. Somehow We just did not have that energy and patience which are required for concentration on such a subject. Scripture too, involved dilhculties. Although it was only a one hour a Week class We Could not quite keep up with it. We admit that Father Markham and Father Cahill had their hands full trying to impart to us sufficient knowl- edge to pass their courses.

It is near the College, boasts of its double feature programs and is often appreciated for its reduced rates. By the time the pictures have reached this, our favorite rendezvous, we have had sufficient time to know the verdicts of the critics. The Madison theater has become an essential part of the environment of Saint Rose. Some of the students prefer swimming and horse-back riding to all other forms of amuse- ment. Encouraged by the eager participation of the students and well supported by the members of the sophomore class, these clubs reorganized this year under their new leaders. Besides swimming twice a week, some of the club members entered intra-mural contests for both speed and form. Among these activi- ties was a swimming pagaent, an original venture, in which those participating dis- played their ability for team work and perfect timing by forming various, unique aquatic designs. Before long, the Christmas spirit began to .-- I I I I I I I I I I I vt' . , - t -- .1 -L creep into the minds and hearts of our stu- dents. Contributions were brought for bas- kets, stockings were filled, toys were repaired and a Merry Christmas was wished to all. Our greetings to each other and to the mem- bers of the faculty were exchanged at the Christmas party, December twentieth. This year, the annual entertainment was sponsored by the members of the dramatic theory class which had been newly organized for the members of Shadows exclusively. The short drama and tableaux which they pre- sented were earnestly applauded by the audience. When Santa finished distributing the gifts, the students departed from college for the last time in the year nineteen hundred thirty-nine. 1105111716 in jarmary for j. IVilliams, M. Nestor, H.

Another of the clubs to which we as sophomores were admitted was the ltalian club. This club has one meeting a month, the primary purpose of which is to acquaint the students of ltalian with the customs and habits peculiar to those people whose lan- guage they study. The officers of the club for this year have been Rose Zibella, president, Virginia Cavoretto, vice-president, Rita Scan- lon, secretary, and Margaret Murphy, treas- urer. With varied programs throughout the year, the members became familiar with the background of their work. One of the most interesting, nerve-racking, thrilling, dreadful and yet sensational sub- jects that our college offers is the course in debate. With our speech course as a back- ground we entered our first debate class with hearts full of courage and optimism. As time wore on, we did not cease to worry, but rather we became unusually frequent patrons of all the libraries in the vicinity. Now as we are looking back on our unforgettable ex- periences we realize the good obtained from doing something of which we are almost incredibly afraid. Italian fairy tales engross M. Murphy, R. Zibella, R. Scanlon, V. Cfworetto, members of the Italian Club. Among the outstanding events sponsored by the members of the Spanish Club this year was the Christmas entertainment. The ofhcers of the club who have earnestly endeavored to make this year an outstanding one for their club include Angeline Lombardo, president, Kay Kenny, vice-president, Sophie I-lecox, secretary, and Helen McDonald, treasurer. Perhaps their most interesting activity is their correspondence with the young people of the Latin-American countries. Resolved , zs the ke3 word 0 clebaters R. Frfzule, E. Clemens and P Sbeeh zu
