A Senior Looks Backward Fifty years . . . fifty years of untiring effort for the education of young women! Such is the accumulation which reaches its peak in the Golden Jubilee of the Benedictine Sisters of the Duluth diocese. We are proud, we Seniors, to be counted as the graduating class of this golden anniverf sary. We are proud to add our names to the long roster of graduates of other years. From this summation of years we look back to the first beginnings of our Alma Mater, to the Sacred Heart Institute, the cradle of our College. Even in this early beginning, the farfsighted Sisters laid the groundwork for the aims and purposes of the College of today. According to The Institute Echoes of 1903, their aim was to give such an eduf cation as would bent a woman to move in any society. Because we are Seniors and feel akin to the Seniors of yesteryear, we are curious about them. What were they like? What were their interests and activities? Are we really more sophisticated or does our own naivete blind us? We found this opinion of the Seniors of the Institute in The Echoes for 1905: What's the matter with the Seniors? They are in my opinion, and, I know, in everyone else's, grand, mysterious, sublime! It was in that same year that the Seniors decided to get class rings instead of pins, for as one exalted member said facetiously, The ring is our symbol, because we are so cleverg there is no end to our knowledge. We decide immediately that the pattern has not changed radically since 1905. Interests and activities? If we substitute a convertible coupe for a tallyfho, and a por' table radio for a ukelele, we find that the means of pleasure show no great deviation. Then, too, there were picnics, wiener roasts, and teas. In 1923 the Senior class of Villa Sancta Scholastica had their Prom with dinner at the Spalding Hotel, and a theatre party afterwards! Not so different! Change? Yes, there have been changes in keeping with the times. Attitudes and viewpoints have shifted. Materials and methods have been adapted to new devel' opments in science and invention. But like every other sound cornerfstone, the basic foundation of the College, those aims and ideals upon which character is built have continued solid and sturdy from the Erst Yes we are proud' Proud to be members of the Class of 1942 proud to have learned what we have learned from our beloved Sisters and our fine lay faculty proud tht we have been really a part of the College of St Scholastica and proudly happy that such we shall ever remain . , , . 1 . r 5 ' S I ,,-f'f K v V - V--4-as -V .- K-lea., -. . 1 A ..,
