For it is here that we acquire many of our impressions , and where we make our own. Our professors , family , and peers all influence the direction our lives take. Our professors impress upon us the knowledge and wisdom that is needed in life. They extol the value of edu- cation and inspire us to forge new ground. They leave us with a number of impres- sions that we will carry with us for a lifetime. 4 V11UT Families help us form a foundation on which to build our own beliefs and values. They love , nurture , and mold the people that we be- come later on in life. They give us guidance and en- couragement, and most of all they give us a sense of pride in ourselves. We learn through our own exper- iences and from the advice and examples our parents set. We gain our own ideas of what is right and wrong from the impact other peo- ple make on us. Families prepare us for making judg- ments, evaluating impres- sions and forming our own. Peers are some of the most influential people in our lives. In a sense, we are able to look at our friends and see in them our own val- ues. Throughout our school years, we have surrounded ourselves with people whose opinions we share. We are concerned with the way peo- ple perceive us, and how we will be remembered in the years to come. The “good impression ” is what most hope to achieve. As one famous Roman phi- losopher once said, “The mind unlearns with difficulty what has long been im- pressed on it With this in mind, we set forth and leave our impressions behind, in the hope that they will never fade. 5 6 7 9 10 11 13 KHSDI] I DEDICATION At 11:30 A.M. and at 5 P.M., gestion or complaint go without the usual crowd can be found her personal attention. She is al- ascending the stairs to the cafe- ways willing to make changes to teria. Students assemble with please the students and faculty meal cards in hand hoping for members in any way possible, one of their favorites. Mrs. G. has worked at C.N.R. The person always at the top for 15 years , beginning as a of the stairs extending a friendly name checker. Her good nature greeting is Mrs. Eileen Gilbride. and hard work soon elevated Even working six full days a her to her present position as week, Mrs. G. never lets a sug- Employee Supervisor. 16 Although her job description is supervisor to employees, her in- volvement in campus life goes far beyond this. She is a good friend and a mother figure, as well as a boss. No matter what is on her mind you can always count on her smile to cheer you up, her honest advice, and overall genuine con- cern for everyone. No one passes through the cafeteria without gaining some impression of Mrs. G. Even if she does not know your name, she goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. Our life as a part of this com- munity only lasts four years, and Mrs. G. sees many classes go in and out the doors. Although she knows many faces, she remem- bers almost all of them. An alum- na ' s visit would not be complete without stopping in the cafeteria to hear that familiar Irish brough. Everyone remembers Mrs. G’s contribution during her years at the college. Her enthusiasm dur- ing special events, such as Hallow- een, leave us with one of the most memorable impressions of all. For all the dedication you have given us, the class of 1987 dedi- cates thi s book to you. Thanks for everything, Mrs. G. 17 It seems like only yesterday that we first set foot on campus . It was strange to us at first but we all found our way to the cafeteria that night. As the days of September cascaded into Octo- ber we could easily locate the Science Building, Chidwick, as well as Xavier, while the commut- ers knew exactly where to park to avoid getting tickets. The warm days of autumn found stu- dents on Maura lawn reading books, making sketches or lazily soaking up the sun while foot- balls and frisbees alike passed overhead. For a commuter student, the cafeteria, with adjacent lounge, probably holds the fondest memories. The endless hours of passing through books, writing papers and catching up a homelike atmosphere, as well as a color T. V. set, where studies were forgotten once the earthshattering occurrences in Lanview, PA and Port Charles took precedence. Not too far from the commuter lounge, resi- dent students can be found participating in the same activities. It ' s not unusual to walk past the dormitories and hear the outcries of students as “Cliff and Nina meet once again on Mar- tha ' s Vineyard . Of course campus life goes far beyond the fantasy of soap operas. Sometimes we allow our lacksadasical attitudes get in the way of our studies. We can hardly forget that we have books to read, papers to write and classes to IMPRESSIONS on campus gossip — all at a table cluttered with half-eaten sandwiches and cold coffee. Who could forget borrowing quarters to buy a soda or standing in line to cash a check? When one o ' clock rolled around, the average commuter would make her way to the downstairs lounge, just outside the bookstore. This area provided attend. When the day comes to a close, resi- dents are relaxing at dinner, and commuters are ready to hit the road, but some still have to face that late night class. Overall, everyday life here at C.N.R. is filled with both responsibilities and good times that help bring us closer to our fellow students. J j i 18 19 20 :• t ANGELA Known on campus as the “senior dorm,” Angela Hall offers its resi- dents the greatest amount of free- dom and privileges of all the dorms. The lounges on each floor are espe- cially comfortable, and are used of- ten for resident gatherings. The dorm is comprised of suites that in- clude two bedrooms and a bath- room. Luxuries include a VCR, stamp and change machines and an HALL ice maker. Parietals are extended “to help ease the transition from dorm life to the real world. ” Students live in an atmosphere where they can both study and relax. There is a mis- chievous streak in some of the sen- iors; on occasion the statue of St. Angela is bedecked in various cos- tumes. Angela is where the seniors come together for their final year. I I URSULA HALL For those students who desire modern living quarters and spacious storage, there is Ursula Hall. Built in 1962, Ursula is a unique building that was much sought after, before the renovation of the south wing. Admin- istrative offices were moved from Xa- vier to make way for the new “ cen- ter ” Many students, however, still appreciate the updated bathrooms and larger rooms. Only time will tell if the presence of offices will greatly affect life in the residence hall. Many residents will certainly miss Ursula Beach come springtime; the area where residents once sunned was re- placed by a parking lot for the offices. 23 MAURA HALL Memories of the past are echoed in Mauras elegant ballroom and me- dieval-like hallways. Many appreciate the architectural beauty and charm , from the sweeping staircase to the cozy window seats. Maura houses many freshmen , but loyal upperclass- men continue to live here throughout their four years. The ballroom is one of Maura ' s most notable features. The graceful symmetry of the ceiling, ornate chandeliers and time-worn floors, give an aura of grandeur equal to that of another era. Maura is a dorm with much character. Residents will tolerate the ascent to “the ship and an occasional mouse, just to call Maura their home. 25 BRESCIA HALL Brescia Hall is usually a freshmen s first home away from home. Fre- quent fire drills , rising heat and home sickness are all part of life at this dorm. Telephone chatter and the sound of stereos contribute to the constant vivacity that distinguishes freshmen from the rest. Many upper- classmen vie for “the tower,” which consists of four private rooms and affords residents a spectacular view of the Castle and Brescia Courtyard. The central proximity is one reason Brescia is a desirable dorm. The li- brary, cafeteria and main buildings are all within a two-minute walk. Resi- dents can appreciate this advantage on cold days. Mai I COMMUTERS Commuter life does not always end after classes . Commuter Assis- tants, Day Students Council and Stu- dent Life work together to strengthen ties between the college and day stu- dents. Special commuter resident events are organized to facilitate in- teraction between students outside the classroom. Many hours of social- izing and studying are spent in the cafeteria with fellow day students. Typewriters are provided in a study area off the cafe foyer. Commuters can also relax and catch up on the soaps in the downstairs lounge. Many are satisfied with commuter life; home cooking and free laundry are good reasons to live at home. How- ever, flat tires and no parking are some of the trials that befall a com- muter. 29 30 31 As seniors look back on their underclass- men years they are filled with fond memories, mixed emotions and longing for the past. As freshmen embark on their college career they are impressionable and open minded in their quest for knowledge. They are naive about what their freshman year holds in store. They are filled with questions. Will I do well in my classes? Who will I become friends with? Does my roommate like me? Will there be guys at the mixer? Does anyone have proof for 21? Where’s North Avenue? Many of these questions have been an- swered for the sophomores. They are return- ing to campus to decoate new rooms and see old friends. They’re deciding on majors and A junior begins her year wondering where the past two years have gone and if the next two will go by as quickly. They’re making their ring payments and wondering who they’ll take to their Junior Ring Dance. The innocence of prior years fades away as the realism of senior year approaches. Scholastic attitudes become more intense while social circles widen. The junior has become more involved with class leadership, student representation as well as campus activities. Junior activity, however, has expanded beyond campus boundaries. Did you hear there’s a party tonight?! can’t decide between the Maritime mixer or Iona’s Toga party. As underclassmen, your contributions are 1 starting their clinicals. As the year progresses the bonds of friendship strengthen and grow. The streets of New Rochelle become more familiar, especially for those who acquired a car over the summer. North Avenue becomes less intimidating and more enticing. Anyone have proof for 21 ? effective, for they lead to your continued growth and confidence in yourselves. Your en- thusiasm and ongoing involvement assures that we, the seniors, are leaving the College in very good hands. Thanks for everything, we love you. 33 FRESHMEN Although the class of 1990 is small, they more than make up for their lack of size with spirit and enthu- siasm. Their small numbers made it easier for the freshmen to come to- gether as a class. In their quest for organization, the freshmen elected class officers. Then came the hard 34 35 SOPHOMORES The class of 1 989, our sophomore sis- ters, are a special part of our time at CNR. We watched them make the dif- ficult adjustment to college life and hopefully helped them along the way. This year they returned the favor by organizing our 200 days party and serving at the dance that weekend. The sophomores planned many of their own events such as a semi-formal and Christmas-stocking fundraiser. All in all, our little sisters managed to keep themselves busy and have fun doing it. r 36 37 JUNIORS Junior year is one of many expec- tations. Only a step away from the top rung of the ladder , the class of 1988 enjoyed their Ring Weekend and looked forward to other class events. It is a time when school work , social life and career goals all come together. Equipped with the knowl- edge they have gained over the past two years, the juniors are almost ready to tout their talents in the world beyond CNR. 38 39 We’ve been through it all together and now it’s come down to this, our senior year. We have watched each other grow from insecure freshmen in a new world to mature women on the threshold of another. And now the cycle begins again. We will enter new territories and adjust to these situations as we did in college. We will always remember the people at CNR who have taught us much about life. We take with us the memories, knowledge and life’s lessons that will always be with us. We hope that we have left impressions on the CNR “family” as they have left their lasting impres- sions on us. The following song from the musi- cal “Preppies” best expresses our fears, joys, and sorrows upon commencement. Moving On No more taking it easy and squeaking by No more messing it up And no second try Once we pass beyond these (old hallowed gates) Then the party’s over The real world awaits It seems these years Have flown so fast Though we tried to make them last Friends who stick together Through right and wrong We’ll be helping each other Our whole lives long S SION As we forge ahead No matter where we land We’ll remember (school days ) Here is where it all began.

The job itself re- quires a sense of acknowledging the needs of others as well as be- ing a classmate and friend. Our senior class officers, Christine, Kim, Kathy, and Fran have suc- cessfully accomplished this goal through their persistence and hard work. It is largely due to their ef- forts that make this graduating class of 1987 what it is today.

Throughout our various courses of study they have inspired , encouraged , and taught us pri- celss lessons that will always remain with us. Many students appreciate the personal atten- tion that faculty members offer. Students are encouraged to consult with professors for ad- vice. The faculty at CNR are recognized profes- sionals in the academic community. Many are published authors, prominent artists, and re- nowned scientists. unique flavor to their course offerings. Adjuncts at the College of New Rochelle offer another educational dimension. Many ad- juncts bring valuable professional experience to students in the areas of Business, the Arts, Writing, and Science. Practical knowledge is learned from adjuncts who are involved in the business world, publishing, scientific research and theater. The faculty is committed to the development of the student. They work carefully to construct a program of study from which the student can derive the most.

There are many clubs and organizations which have in some way touched the lives of students at the College. The efforts of the Programming Board have brought us many and varied events that com- plete our college experience. The Council of Students serves as a liaison between the school ' s administration and the student body. keeping the campus population informed. Creative expression can also be found in Glee Club concerts , Props and Paint produc- tions and Dance Club performances. Groups like the Arts and Entertainment Council, A.M.I.C.A. and Peace and Justice Committee help to raise our social conscious- ness by sponsoring events that expose us to different cultures and ideas. The Social Board, Locker Room and Ski Club offer other ways to expand our social lives Academic organizations such as Tri Beta, S.N.E.A. , the Madison Society, N.S.N.A. and the Business Club provide a forum for students with similar career goals to discuss topics of common interest. For those who enjoy literary pursuits, Tatler, Phoenix and Annales offer students the oppor- tunity to contribute their creative efforts while by sponsoring mixers, ski trips or providing a place to just hang out. The efforts of all these groups are organized by the Activities Council, which ensures that the clubs and organizations work together to provide the best possible social opportunities for the college community. £ 102 103 Business Club Ke y Shannon, Sarah Beaton, Mary Ribaudo, Aua Nonon Tri-Beta 104 Unlimited Tatler 105 Phoenix Sharon Kee, Judy Colobong, Ruth Defeo, Mary Moore ;8� j ■i§ SS-S ssSSiflS II ? sSsssssmW � «r tfgiSf ’It f SNEA 106 Peace and Justice NSNA 107 Props and Paint 108 109 AMICA Christine Masters , Heather Ng- You, Beatrice Serrano , Yvette McLean, Sylvia Torres , Angela Newell Margaret Koller, Caron Gelineu, Mary Rock Madison Society � V Social Board Council of Students Amy Maddia, Kim Majewski, Julie Siard, Donna Sorrentino, Brigi- danne Flynn, Dr. Dennis Ryan, Lisa Vesperman, Bob Bonfiglio, Clisha Taylor, Caron Gelineou, Mia Patunas, Kathy Keonigas, Mary Kay McSweeney, Sue Cara- bel, Ginny Simmons, Gina De- Palma, Lisa Adams. 112 113 RESIDENTS’ COUNCIL 114 DAY STUDENTS’ COUNCIL Gina DePalma 115 Activities Council l Locker Room GLEE CLUB Advisor — Sr. Elizabeth Mon- aghan Director — Josephine Carouso Accompanist — Jillian Ruyow President — Andrea Pakonen Vice-President — Amy Hughes Secretary — Diane Desmarais Treasurer — Pamela Gorman Business Manager — Maria Mer- cader Librarian — Angela Newell i DANCE CLUB Judy Walsh Kim Hunter 118 ft Community Leadership Program Advisor — Roslyn Bailey President — Jackie Lopez Vice President — Dawn Walden Secretary — Gisella Dominguez Treasurer — Carmen Roduguez ANNALES The 1986-87 Annales Staff has succeeded in making this year’s book one of the most successful. Although consisting of only eleven people, we managed to put our resources together and work to obtain our goal. The entire staff worked cooper- atively to include a variety of people. No club, activity, or faculty member was left out. The staff and I were deter- mined to make this year’s book different than any oth- er. Through our determina- tion and dedication, I believe that we have succeeded. I personally would like to take this time to thank everyone involved in the production of the 1987 ANNALES. Also, special thanks to our advisor Mary Elizabeth Tol- hurst and our Herff Jones representative Dale Alger. Pauline Liquori Editor-in-Chief. 121 The sports program at the College of New Rochelle has weakened greatly in the past years; much to the disappointment of students. Number-two ranked in Division III, the Blue Angels basketball team is now defunct. Former Coach Lou Kern gained a coaching position at Fordham University. Donna Bayliff, the new head coach has dedicated this year to one of recruiting and rebuilding. Although this year has been discouraging, there is hope that a strong team can be built for the next season. This year’s softball team hopes to be as suc- cessful as last year’s. Coach Carol Buckingham states that last year’s team was successful be- cause of the eight seniors who had grown to- gether and formed a strong team. The softball team came in third in the Fludson Valley Soft- ball league tournament. The team is now re- The intramural ski club, the newest addition to the sports program, started out with a bang in 1 986. Several cross-country and downhill ski trips were planned. People of all abilities were welcome to join in the fun and enjoy the chal- lenge of swooshing down the slopes of a down- hill run or covering great distances on cross- country skis. The swim team headed by Barbara Pe- trauzzi has put together a solic club. The team spirit shown by the members exemplifes what a team should be. Much effort has been put into practice sessions, and the team has met with its own rewards. Through their dedication and consistent efforts, they have succeeded in mak- ing the season enjoyable for all. If the sports tradition at CNR wishes to con- tinue, the student body must unite to support I M PR E S S O cruiting new members to fill the places of the eight seniors that left. Buckingham hopes to rebuild the team and cultivate new talent. The volleyball team faced a rough season this year. With a group of dedicated players, they were able to finish this season with a posi- tive outlook for next season. and participate in the various teams on cam- pus. In the past, games were poorly attended and school spirit was lacking. The apathy must be arrested to ensure the future of the CNR sports program. 122 123 WWW 125 INTRAMURALS Peter Wildulski Edwina Roberts Cafieanne Forde Carrie Hauerstock VOLLEYBALL Maureen Curran Regina Demarzio Raina Vanderpoel Mary Welch Emily Reueron Regina Collins Amy Visnauskas Sue Kimmel (not pictured, Irene St. John) 126 1 SKI CLUB 127 If TRIBUTE TO THE BLUE ANGELS 128 Good Luck next year! Activities are what make life memorable at CNR for it is at these events that friends can get together and have fun. One memorable event was the Senior Cruise. Although the night was cold, spirits were high. It was a night that most seniors would or would not remember. Members of the senior class sailed out of the Klondike pies and down to the Statue of Liberty before returning. Strawfest is the climax of the school social pear. All clubs on campus get together to turn Maura lawn into one big festival. Booths selling everything from food to games captured the essence of the dap. As the mime strolled the grounds, people noshed on chocolate-covered strawberries and listened to the sound of a string quartet. The dap came to an end with music from Full House as Maura lawn turned into a big dance floor. celebrated the prospect of graduating. The weekend was kicked off with a party in the Locker Room, where memories of the past four pears were looked back upon. The last dance that the Seniors had in Maura Ballroom came that Saturday night. As they danced, a good time was had bp all. Although the sophomore semi-formal was poorly attended, those in attendance had a wonderful time. The peach and white decor accented the magic of the evening. For the first time in CNR history, a float was entered in the New Rochelle Thanksgiving Pa- rade. A cornucopia brimming with textbooks traveled through the streets of the city. Stu- dents clad in CNR attire rode the float and gave candy and stickers to the paradegoers. The first annual CNR Winter Weekend started with Ray Boston Beach Party Friday I M PR ESSIO The much anticipated event of junior year is the Junior Ring weekend. The weekend started on Thursday with a junior freshman sister par- ty. On Friday they attended the Ring Ceremo- ny in the Chapel where they received their class rings. The pinnacle of the weekend came on Saturday night when the juniors attended the Ring Dance in Maura Ballroom. With 200 days left ’til graduation, the seniors night. The gym was transformed into a tropical oasis and students came in their latest beach wear. Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream was scooped freely as games were played. The Christmas Formal provided a festive atmosphere that typified the weekend. The Glee Club concert concluded the festivities on Sunday afternoon with a joint concert with the King’s Point Glee Club. 130 131 AT FIRST GLANCE 132 133 135 SENIOR CRUISE 136 137 Strawfest M Bb l ■R 138 BOQftHWNtti 139 . 200 Days Dance 140 Friends, my heart is half aweary Of its happiness tonight: Though your songs are gay and cheery And your spirit feather-light, There’s a ghostly music haunting Still the heart of every guest And a voiceless chorus chanting That the old times were the best. 141 142 143 SOPHOMORE SEMI-FORMAL 144 145 THANKSGIVING PARADE 146 147 WINTER WEEKEND 148 149 EM JERR Y S isff W VORH [ { T ' - UiTl I A . 1 vL r iM ' o 4jL A I 150 151 Hmp Junior Ring Ceremony i 152 153 Junior Ring Dance i i 155 A Glance Back 156 157 158 159 160 177 Our memories of yesterday will lost o lifetime, well raise the best forger rhe rest and someday well find these ore rhe best of rimes . . .
