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

'junior Prom, just previous to which we had enjoyed a short jWOSf-CXZIIH vacation. 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.

ll In-1 ef One of the most important clubs at college is the Nursing club. The officers of the club this year were Anne Lizotte, president, Ruth Boquet, vice-president, Marguerette Morford, secretary, and Peggy McDonald, treasurer. The activities of this club include a variety of social affairs for the freshmen and for their upper-classmen who are already doing field work at the Hospital. It was in March that the sophomore nurses received their long- awaited capes. We shared their joy in having progressed one step farther toward their goal, but we find it hard to realize that those girls who have formed an integral part of our class will very soon bid good-bye to the college.

Returning from Easter vacation with plenty of vim, vigor and vitality, we promptly set ourselves to the task of sponsoring the annual sophomore spring dance. Being very anxious for its success, both financially and otherwise, since it was our first attempt at the light fantastic , we multiplied our efforts and were generously rewarded. After that, events passed rapidly, and we are now looking back on our annual retreat and also on our public debate which was the climax of our tedious course. E Thus the class of nineteen hundred forty- two has completed its sophomore year. Thus we have willingly and conscientiously con- tributed our share in participating in those events which help to make college life worth while. The class of forty-two has com- pleted its sophomore year. Let us hope that it has been a year worthy of Alma Mater! OLIVE JENNINGS, Hiftomm MID D05 Rocher nzstrzrcts AI. Morford, R. Bosquet, A.
