For some it’s finding the only parking spot on cam¬ pus, while for others it’s grabbing the last hot shower of the morning. After the initial rush, thre’s still the possibility of getting locked in the library at 10:40, being chased by neighborhood hoodlums or injuring squirrels while tossing garbage. All in all, if you can manage to avoid Maura’s lovesick dogs, consider yourself lucky. Slightly amused Living — I This picture speaks for itself. — Commuters Althea, Do you ever move? B aby strollers stopped traffic in the Commut¬ er Office as students raced to see the newest members of the CNR family. 1987 seems to be the year for a resurgence of the Baby Boom Era. A flurry of activity has taken the commuters by storm, with minute- by-minute accounts of | “baby’s firsts.” It is a common occur¬ ence to see a group of young college women crowded around a baby carriage making funny faces and engaging in | baby talk, while the center of attention wonders if this is what it is like to be grown¬ up. Stuffed animals and baby pictures aside, in another eighteen years or so she too may well be a student at the Col¬ lege of New Rochelle. Where is the food? t COMMUTERS C ommuters are a spe¬ cial class of people. Whether rain, snow, sleet, or an endless traffic tie-up, we brave all, bent not only on arriving to class on time, but on something no¬ bler still • • finding a parking place closer than Connecti¬ cut. With energy rivaled only by Richard Simmons, we hit the sidewalk running, paus¬ ing only long enough to re¬ place our blood supply with enough caffeine to get our feet moving again. We are constantly on the go, jug¬ gling our time between school and work, friends and assignments, driving and yes, more driving. In fact, residents could learn a valu¬ able lesson in time-manage¬ ment from all our tearing around, especially if they could master the art of com¬ pleting their homework be¬ fore the light turns green. We’d love to help, if you don’t mind the walk to Con¬ necticut. Service with a smile. Commuters — Meg, what are you reading? “Boy, I’m ready for a nap!” I had just got home from North Ave, compared the events of the night with my friends, and was psyched to go to bed. Looking at my clock, I grimaced, realizing I had to get up in six hours for my 9:00 class. It was already 2:30 a.m. I threw my clothes on the floor, put on a T shirt, and climbed into bed. Next thing I knew, my roommate was shaking me, and I heard an awful clanging - the second fire alarm in two weeks. I had only been asleep for half and hour and was feeling very unhappy about getting up and going outside. Forgetting it was October and kind of chilly, I grabbed a pair of sweats and ran down the stairs with the rest of the dorm. I found out ten minutes later that it was a false alarm. Brescia BRESCIA V t’s 11:35 p.m. and we’re j honestly too tired to pay A proper homage to Bres¬ cia Hall. It’s not that we don’t like Brescia; how could anyone walk past on a cold winter’s day on their way to the cafeteria and not wish they lived there? True, we’ve heard rumors: archaic plumbing, a maze interior. half the residents driven out by heat, the other half by cold, but of course these are only rumors. How could any dormitory complete with its own courtyard be anything but charming? Well, Brescia, it’s written. Now let’s just hope it gets typed ... MAURA O ne room in CNR’s oldest and quaintest dorm, Maura Hall. The hall itself is equipped with many attractive features, such as easy access to both the Physical Plant and Mail Room. No long waits for dead rodent remov¬ al or journeys of epic proportions to pick up those packages from Mom here .. . Maura Hall also proudly offers a serene, majestic ballroom, breath-taking staircase and, for the music- lover, a choice of pi¬ anos to satisfy any taste. Of course Maura’s rooms come in a variety of sizes, from singles roomy enough for three to triples cozy enough for one. And the best feature of all is the thrill of discovering just what room is in store for you. Y ou’re dressed to kill and ready to en¬ ter the place where dreams come true - - MAURA BALLROOM. Win¬ dows dressed in folds of carnation brocade frame a band on stage and a bevy of glowing classmates - - with dates. The night passes too quickly, and as the band plays its last set, everyone is left wanting more. That is, ev¬ eryone except the four floors of residents who weren’t invited and can’t wait for their beds to stop shaking. Their only thoughts are of stuffing the folds of carnation brocade down the band’s throats and biding their time until their class can celebrate its mo¬ mentous occasion. Maura Hall slumber party? Get to sleep! — Maura Maura’s R.A. staff (without Karenann) I t’s Ursula Hall. The sleepy-eyed col¬ lege student lethar¬ gically ambles into the bathroom to start her day. The unsuspecting victim is innocently trying to regain con¬ sciousness when, with¬ out warning, it hap¬ pens. THE FLUSH! Scalding water rushes through the shower head. The victim is mo¬ mentarily stunned. She throws her body jj against the wall for pro- ' tection but the damage j has been done. Her once soft, supple | scalp now begins to ; steam like a whistling tea kettle. Though in excruciating pain, the victim manages to | muster the strength to launch a verbal barrage at the offender. More often than not, these comments fall on deaf i cars. The perpetrator flees the scene of the crime before a positive identification can be made. The victim then l proceeds to dry herself off, apply some burn ! cream to her smolder¬ ing scalp and vow that | one day, no matter | what it takes, she will I hunt down this inhu¬ mane criminal, estab¬ lish this person’s show- er time and Flush and Flush and Flush ... “We’re doing this for the cam era. We really hate each other.’ 2oyi — Ursula Just like Charmin! URSULA ept. 21 — An 8 p.m, fire drill was sched¬ uled for Ursula Hall, so it wouldn’t interefere with the hit ABC show “Moon¬ lighting” at 9 p.m. However, that night, ABC chose to show the first epi¬ sode of the season one hour early. A ne ar riot ensued. “You’re ruining my life!”. cried one freshman. But the joke was on the students: ABC broadcast a repeat in¬ stead. The incident did teach the staff one lesson. If resi¬ dents had to choose between saving their lives or missing their favorite show ... Well, lets just say we’d be in a lot of trouble. Ursula — N21 A cocktail before dinner “so¬ cial!” Critters I t started with just a few students. As the weeks went on, however, more people began to complain. Those who had them in sisted they came out only at nights while they were in their rooms. All suites, where at least one roommate complained, were evacuated. Chaos reigned when at least twe nty people were re¬ located while rooms and mattresses were thoroughly exterminat¬ ed. After three days the students were given new mattresses and al¬ lowed back into their rooms. Whether it was psychological or not, all felt better after the extermination. As one resident put it, “I really don’t know if I had them, but it didn’t hurt to have my room done.” Angela ANGELA ; T ' •‘■rf ; :; r y . . J|| ,TT ' r TrfTtn •1 H| •• 1 ' i - W hen I was moving into Maura Hall freshman year, I looked across the street at Angela. Everyone there was having such a great time moving in. It was their senior year. I couldn’t wait until I, too, was a senior and could have every¬ thing the seniors had. Four years later, I have finally achieved the presti¬ gious title of senior, but I have to admit things aren’t exactly as I expected. I used to think having my own bathroom was going to be great. But after living with three women who each drink four to five sodas a day, I’ve realized it’s really not my own. And there’s no community bathroom to run to. I have to wait. Angela is different in many ways compared with other dorms. Parties can be bigger (and better), pari¬ etal rules are extended and residents are treated like adults. Living in Angela as a senior is great. Every day brings us closer to each other and closer to our dreams. ■ v j V ' - SS|®S§ All right. Who did ' $£ tr .

Listening to WLIR again, Bob? — Dedication DEDICATION A tribute to Bob Bonfiglio A t one point in every CNR student’s freshman year, she inevitably asks the question, “Who is that man in the plaid pants and bright green jacket?” She be¬ gins to notice him turning every corner in the Dining Hall Building, One day he says hello to her, and she wonders, “How does he know my name and what town I am from?” Finally, curiosity burning in her mind (as brightly as his orange car), she approaches an upperclassman. “Is the preppy guy with the curly hair a profes¬ sor?” “No way” the upperclassman an¬ swers, “You mean that you don’t know who Bob Student Life Bonfiglio is?” Thus, a window is opened to a new and special aspect of CNR. For once you learn his name, Robert Bonfiglio becomes more than just an administrator in argyle socks and penny loafers. Bob fills many shoes at CNR. As vice- president for Student Services arid for¬ merly director of Student Life, he has the difficult tasks of overseeing student gov¬ ernment and activities, handling disciplin¬ ary cases, and taking care of just about every non-academic problem imaginable. Bob often has to say, “No,” but those of us who know him well realize how badly he would like to say “Yes,” instead. Bob over-extends himself on a daily basis. In addition to the staff members he manages, his door is always open to CNR students. And he still finds time to shop for his lovely wife Catherine. One of the reasons why Bob is such a special person is that his dedication to the students is evident to all who come in con¬ tact with him. His humor, intelligence, and above all, understanding of the college ex¬ perience, make him more than just a face behind a title. Bob is our friend. It is impos¬ sible to imagine life at CNR without him. Thanks, Bob, for your wit, your wardrobe, and most of all, for being you. You can always find Bob at the center of excitement. No mixer would be complete with¬ out a visit from Bob. Dedication — Theresa Barone Psychology Roxsan Adams Psychology Lisa Aspinall Business I r i ' ? Monica Ahearn Psychology Elem. Ed.

Dead silence as a whole group of pre¬ viously mature young women tries desperately to blend into the cafete¬ ria wall. Sister Alice, we should have learned by now that there’s no escaping you. No matter how small or large the task, no matter how firmly we meant to say “no”, we al¬ ways somehow find ourselves doing it. And we always somehow felt bet¬ ter for having done it. For you ask us only to give from what you give too. The self. So Sis¬ ter Alice, our final gift to you: for¬ ever our thanks. Seniors — a.

There are stories be¬ hind each of these faces. They will remain imprinted in our hearts forever.

A h, the trials and tribulations of being a political science professor. Dr. Daniel McCarthy’s tests started with the first class he ever taught when he was a teaching assistant and graduate student at Notre Dame. “I remember that first class. I was staring at the clock on the wall, desperately wondering if I could go for the full 50 minutes, if I had enough material,” he recalled. “When I finished, it was like running 10 miles. I was exhausted.” And during his first year at the College of New Ro¬ chelle, there were also stressful incidents, like the time most of his students cut his American Government course — on the same day the Dean came to observe him. “There was one student when I came in and eventually two more wandered in,” he said. “And the Dean was there. I thought, ‘No, this isn’t good.’ It kind of shook me up.” But Dr. McCarthy has proven time and again that he works well under pressure. Besides making it through — Administration Robert Bonfiglio Assistant Vice President for Student Services John Bine Director of Admissions Dr. Ronald Pollack Director of Financial Aid Mary Kennedy Bloom Director, Alumnae and Parent Relations Jeffrey Youdelman Director of The Learning Skills Center Loretta Vaughan Director of CLP HEOP those two classes, he was also the hero of Xavier Hall two years ago. It was Dr. McCarthy who rang the alarm when fire consumed one of the hall’s wings. His latest challenge? Moderating several students at¬ tending the Harvard Model U.N. this spring. Administration OFF IN A FLASH One Vera Special Lady Reach out and touch someone E very now and then, you can spot her across campus. The tiny figure in high heels trots out of the basement entrance of the Castle, usually with an armload of papers and mail. Vera Mezzaucella is off and running on her duties as the Faculty Secretary. If you don’t already know her, when you do, her laughing eyes and warm smile will soon win you over. You’ll discover that though she is minature in size, she has a heart of gold the size of a giant. Vera has been at the College of New Rochelle for eight years. Ask any faculty member and she will tell you how valuable she is. If you visit her office in the basement of the Castle, you will see perhaps why Vera remains riveted to her desk most of the day — the wails are plastered from ceiling to floor with pictures of her favorite man, Tom Selleck. In addition to “Magnum”, Vera is a great fan of CNR, and without a doubt, a very important part of our campus. — Staff Magnum Who? Mary L.

Is he Clint’s identical twin, recently from California, bent on becom¬ ing the new mayor of New York? Fortunately for us the answer is no. This is not Eastwood incar¬ nate but rather John McHugh who, behind his cool facade, real¬ ly is interested in “making your day.” John is a personable guy, as many of us know, and can be seen giving assistance in various instances — some traditional, some not so traditional. The daily responsibilities of a CNR security guard, which include the usual towing of cars, responding to campus infractions or appre¬ hending safety violators, John executes with ease and efficien¬ cy. But it is perhaps his little un¬ written services for which he is best known and endearing. John might be called the campus “trouble shooter,” aiding those who just can’t seem to lock their cars without leaving the keys in¬ side or those who manage to get themselves trapped in the Castle elevators. Many students may also know him best as the cam¬ pus problem consultant or the only happy face on a sometimes cheerless campus. Despite the mystique that may have devel¬ oped around one who so resem¬ bles a great actor, the fact re¬ mains that we are glad John McHugh is just that, John McHugh!

Anne Bunting may have been an excellent student, but an athlete she was not. As a student at CNR, Sr. Anne has many pleasant memories of her college years, but gym class was not one of them. The sports building was a place to be avoided if you were slightly overweight, for students were expected by their line¬ backer of a gym teacher to keep the figure of a Rockette. Needless to say, this was next to impossible. However, the phys. ed. teacher was adamant about their weighing-in at least one Tuesday of every month. Things went smoothly until the Ursuline cookie and candy raffle. Thanks to her parents’ donation of ten chances, Sr. Anne won. She and six of her friends cele¬ brated by promptly eating the entire con¬ tents of the prize. That Tuesday was disastrous. Every woman that weighed-in was over, and all blamed it on “that girl in the dorm who won a whole bunch of candy and cookies.” When the gym teacher discovered the cul¬ prit, the glare Sr. Anne received was enough to scare an army into battle, she said. Fortunately for us, Sr. Anne survived both these moments of truth and her gym teacher. She is now a great asset to the faculty as well as a wonderful sympathizer with fellow gym haters.

Rather, we are referring to the physical separation of Teri Gamble, James O’Brien and department chairperson Roxanne Zimmer. After several years of sharing cramped quarters in the basement of Xavier, the three have been temporarily scat¬ tered while construction of the “Center” occurs in that build¬ ing. Dr. Gamble now is based in Rogick, Dr. O’Brien has an office in the house at 33 Leland Avenue and Dr. Zimmer has inherited a room in the Castle with a view of Maura Lawn. Dr. Zimmer said having the view was one of the benefits of the relocation. “The move to new, temporary quarters has also been a move to offices with windows, providing natural light and fresh air,” she said. “How wonderful!” Patti Morano Physical Education Grace Mullaney Math and Physics Joanne Dwyer Chemistry Dr. Anne Terhune Art History Dr. Janies O’Brien Communication Arts Kathleen LeVache Physical Education — Faculty Dr. C.J.

However, what most of us don’t know is that Professor Thomas MacNeil served as both during the Korean War. Professor MacNeil arrived on the doorstep of CNR through a chance meeting with Sr. Dorothy Anne other CNR alumnae at the University of Notre Dame in 1964. Since then, he’s acquired a reputation for having everlasting patience and being a very approachable person when students need help. Professor MacNeil does not see himself ever leaving the CNR community. He and his wife Margaret, a CNR graduate, are very active in every aspect of the College. He views his teach¬ ing here at CNR as a “cause for contentment and joy” M. Thomas MacNeil Judith P.

Buy a bullet-proof vest? Refuse to ever cross the street again? Well, not Dr. Carson. An incident that would leave all but the best of us shaking drove this professor to the library, sparking an interest in subject that she now takes very seriously. Dr. Carson annually shares her palm-reading knowledge at the Straw¬ berry Festival, seated at the head of a very long line of people. Most are expecting predictions of the future, but Dr. Carson is quick to point out that this is something she doesn’t like to give. She prefers instead to read the person’s character in the palm of the hand, discovering such things as personality or health, things she sees as more important to know than what will happen tomorrow. After all, Dr. Carson herself is living proof that in the end, it is what is in ourselves — not our palms — that can ever really determine the future. 4 Don’t interrupt me when I’m counting the doughnuts Zena McCann, Financial Aid 3 Si— — 11 IBlll 1 §illi—H i US, S—,l H H M — Faculty Candids “Who took the phone?!!” LOVING IT! D r. B. Nelson Ong’s first crush occurred when he was thirteen. The object of his affection was the Ameri¬ can Constitution. To date, the relationship has con¬ tinued to endure as successfully as the Constitution itself. As a matter of fact, last year Dr. Ong went to Brazil to lecture on the Constitution, and rather than a chore, his task was a labor of love, he claims. To sustain their relationship, Dr. Ong collects old books and manuscripts from the Constitu¬ tional Convention. Other hobbies of Dr. Ong’s include playing with his Apple II and conferring with his esteemed “colleague” and son, Christopher Ong. As far as politics go, Dr. Ong has a unique political philosophy. When asked who he would like to see win the ’88 presidential election, he replied, “ABB”. This cryptic response stands for “Anybody But Bush.” I’m very proud of you kids Dr. Ong, Political Science i !

Starstruck All generations have their idols and idol imitators, yet none have ever seen an outburst like that of the Madonna-Wanna-Be’s”. These little ladies clad in just the sort of things your mom de¬ plores - - leather, gaudy lace and adulterated religious artifacts - - took the nation by storm with their sheer numbers and fanat¬ ical devotion. Thankfully, the few remaining are rarely visible in public, save rock concerts and Halloween. TRENDS was shocked, there¬ fore, when it recently caught a glimpse of such anachronisms on the campus of a conservative, Westchester women’s college. Madonna fashion-advisors are probably responsible because of their consistent hyping of the Ma¬ donna “wanna-be” image and even their laboring to update the look” to avoid stereotyping or banality. In fact, our experts hypoth¬ esize that this particular appear¬ ance on the campus may have been indeed a result of such pro¬ paganda. It probably was the manifestation of one student’s in¬ ability to choose either the Ma¬ donna look, the Madonna Mari¬ lyn Monroe look or the Madonna Spanish Senorita look. Gemini: (May 21-June 20) This is a highly psychic time for you. The new car you have been dreaming about may sud¬ denly appear in your driveway. Cancer: (June 21-July 20) Take heed this month of men with palm-sized, little velvet boxes and strong intentions. You may find that a romantic interest is seriously humming your tune. Leo: (July 21-August 21) One day this month someone may hand you a slip of paper that holds much meaning. Do not be disappointed if they spell your name wrong - - it can be fixed. Virgo: (August 22-September 22) During the month intuition runs high. So don’t hold back — take that plunge, make that committment. Libra: (September 23-October 22) You will suddenly find you don’t know where to go or what to do with yourself. But don’t look to your friends for answers, they are as lost as you are! Scorpio: (October 23-November 22) Around the 22nd you may have occasion to celebrate wildly. Do so with reckless abandon. Sagittarius: (November 23-December 21) Accept exciting job offers or trips to foreign lands as these are no longer empty promises. Aquarius: (January 19-February 18) This is a time for you to break familiar ties, scoff personal obligations and ignore work duties by taking that long-fantasized trip to Europe! Pisces: (February 19-March 20) A special book with your picture in it will be available to you this month. Hopefully you have ordered and paid for one. Aries: (March 21-April 20) A multitude of pressures and anxieties will suddenly be lifted from your shoulders. Enjoy this short period as others even greater in weight will soon take their place. Taurus: (April 21-May 20) Due to unforseen circumstances, you may find yourself back at the home of your parents. Take advantage of this golden opportunity for good home cooking and free laundry services. Capricorn: (December 22-January 18) Good things come to those who wait — but sooner to those who get fed up with that old cliche, go out there, and demand, demand, demand.

DO Informal short skirts with tennis sneakers are always acceptable. Comfort is the key to cafeteria dress. CredtinO work 8 ' a sensa tion () TRENDS recently went on location at a small women ' s college in Westchester County in search of exciting new interior- decorating ideas for the fall season. The dominant motif explored in so many of the rooms was that of creating illusions of spaciousness despite cramped quar¬ ters, while still developing an atmosphere with one ' s own personal flair. Methods of solving the problem includ¬ ed the use of modular shelving, wall grids and colorful plastic crates to maximize space and to allow for unlimited storage of sweaters, edibles and books .... Other attempts at wise space utilization included disposing of the traditional four- post bed for the more modern Fouton or mattresses sans box spring and frame. Students also delved into various types of wall decorations, including the usual concert memorabilia, pilfered street signs, memorial flags, posters of classic screen- stars and 8 x 10 ' s of one ' s supposed long¬ distance boyfriend, as means of distin¬ guishing their own pad. TRENDS particularly admired instances of more innovative decor including a dis¬ play of 30 baseball caps and an audio¬ visual delight — a brightlycolored, chirping parakeet. Make An Impression The hates Looks Accessorize with scarves, bows and pearls. Perfect for any occasion. H Add pizazz to your evening- wear with antique pins and oversized earrings. Pull out grand¬ mother ' s old jewelry box and be creative. Fill your forearm with bold dashes of color.

These two have asked that question too many times these past six months, as well as, why that word, what is that word and where was that word when I needed it. The writing is ours, but the angle is all C.N.R. Enjoy! was going to be so excited to see all the hard work and frustration come to an end. But to my surprise I miss all the craziness the frenzy of a deadline, the last minute photo sessions, the amount of articles to be proofread, the all-night typing marathons, and the satisfaction of a completed layout. And, of course. I’ll miss the yearbook staff. I never would have thought that a group of such different personalities could accomplish so much. Each combined her own insanity with the others to end up with exactly what we wanted — a reflection of our unusual outlook on CNR. Mom, remember when I wrote you about Christine and Mo, who wanted to quit? Well the yearbook is done so I can finally fire them. What a great deal! I got all the hard work out of them and still get to get rid of them before they quit. How about MaryAnne? We finally get to relax about the ads. (So what if it meant cutting the number of ad pages). And then there’s Ed, our dedicated photographer. You probably met him by now, he seems to know everyone. Diane and Mary Jo are a pair of opposites — Diane is very excitable, while Mary Jo is rather serene — they are responsible for all the fine writing. What they didn’t write they organized others to do. Like their friend Pam, whose cleverness at writing captions was invaluable. I always felt bad when space restrictions required us to cut down articles, and they didn’t like it too much either. But my biggest thanks is to you for sending me to CNR. Well everything is pretty much taken care of except a few things with the money. As a matter of fact, I am waiting for Jane to get out of the shower so I can ask her what she is doing today. (I hope she hasn’t figured out my way of deceiving her into doing her work). Los quiero mucho, Liza P.S. Thanks to our advisor Mary Elizabeth, for her invaluable help and guidance. We couldn’t have done it without her. Also, thanks to Dale and Thorton Studios.

Yes, that’s right, another Activities Council meeting. Here student leaders met to discuss, plan and organize their clubs’ activities. It was by no means an ordinary task to accomplish this feat, but despite the arguments and debates we somehow all reached our ultimate goals and kept the heart beat of CNR strong for another semester. — Organizations Suzanne Kehn, Secretary; Gina De Palma, Vice President; Virginia Simmons, President; Bob Bonfiglio, Administrator Advisor; and Dr. Denis Ryan, Faculty Advisor.

COUNCIL OF STUDENTS Five Rules to Remember About the Council of Students. “First, I’d like to thank ... ” Ginny Simmons during Al¬ cohol Awareness Week. 1. The Council of Students is composed of 17 mem¬ bers, hence 17 schedules, all of which conflict. There¬ fore, the only available times for everyone to meet are at 6:14 am or 9:38 pm, except on leap years when everyone has from 11:30 — 11:45 am free. 2. Being on the Council of Students usually involves a great deal of work and committment. Therefore, members of the Council have a great deal of character (even though they are usually exhausted). 3. As a member of the Council, be prepared to be confused with the Activities Council, Residents Council, and the Coun¬ cil of American Podiatrists. The Council is also re¬ ferred to as the Student Council, Student Board, or simply “The students”. 4. Fundraisers for the Coun¬ cil always seem to cost more than they raise. But sitting in the Dining Hall Lobby is always fun. 5. Members of the Council of Students will provide any student with an experience she will carry with her for the rest of her life — plus some good times and good friends! “What did I say?”, Gina de Palma.

Activity — A nother outlet of CNR’s spirit and energy, extend¬ ing over a wide spectrum of events are the annual activities. This year, CNR students will have been seen aboard the “Klondike” as far as the Statue of Liberty, twisting in the gym¬ nasium, assuming a sophisti¬ cated pose in the Ballroom, Rick Aviles at the Locker Room “What do you mean you left the tickets at home?” Make your own caption. (It’s not as easy as it looks!) “Hey, I thought it was a sleepover” % f it f — Activities I’ve heard of ice-cold beer be- ore, but this is ridiculous.” I’LL NEVER FORGET I had finally turned “21 ■ v • my first “booze cruise . T and was able to drink my way to the Statue of Liberty .and back. My spirits were high as I set off on the boat with the other Seniors. Once aboard, the class offi- cers set up the kegs, and the cruise began. Not too far into the journey I heard someone yell “Bridge Call!”. I thought to myself, “What is that?” Everyone grabbed her beer and headed to the front of the ship and chug ged. I went too. There are quite a few bridges on the way to New York Harbor so there were quite a few bridge calls. Then I saw her. “She really is beautiful” I said, as shivers ran up my spine. It’s hard not to be patriotic when you see the Statue of Liberty. Luckily the ship turned around and before I had time to be sappy, I was back to the serious business of drinking at bridge calls. We all danced and sang. I was having a really good time — when suddenly someone mentioned, “I can’t believe it — we’re Seniors.” “Next October we won’t all be together. It’s out to the real world.” We all agreed it was a scary thought. We contemplated it, and decided it was time for another beer. Activities — — Activities GREASE I couldn’t believe it when ... I noticed half way during my lunch that there was something different about the downstairs cafeteria. Something that wasn’t there before. Oh yeah, a stage. A stage? Wait a minute. This morning I’m sure I was in New Rochelle. Kind of. I’m not too focused that time of the day. O.K., calm down right now. You’re obviously somewhere, and that’s got to count for something. Deep breath. That’s better. Talk to someone. Hey, did you know there’s a stage in the cafeteria? Yeah — right over there! Grease? They’re doing a production of Grease? Oh great. I love musicals. That’s a fun one too I’ve heard. Have to see it. O.K., so 1 was wrong to panic. I feel much better now. Getting to know your surroundings gives such a sense of control. Now I just have to find someone who can tell me if I’m still in New Rochelle. “Yeah, well, boy ... any say Halloween is never the same once you’re an adult. But after celebrating four sea¬ sons of Halloween here at CNR, I have to disagree. For instance, did your mom ever let you eat supper in your dragon outfit? Mrs. G. Does! Yes, I know grandma’ s closet is no longer available to rummage through, but even that’s O.K.: now we have the Salvation Army. And you thought grandma had funny clothes! There is surely no more trick or treating or piles of goodies to devour in one sitting. But just think — you don’t have to come in when the street lights go on, and if you broom cramps your style-hop a cab! Fasten your seat belts — it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Hey, He’s laughing all the way to the bank. We heard it through the grapevine that your’re really wearing garbage bags. ■i WHISKEY Activities I’ve got Rolexes — cheap!” What’s up, Doc? HAL I’ll bite that finger right off! I hate it when the Grim Reaper shows up at our par¬ ties! Activities JUNIOR RING WEEKEND Once upon a time . . . O nce upon a time, in a land filled with castles, there lived a mad alchemist. His name was Herff Jones. Herff was known throughout the realm for his beautiful rings, but alas, he was not happy. His one wish was to create a magical ring, and in this he had always failed. One day, in a fit of rage, Herff pitched his latest batch of “useless” rings out of his window — and into the hands of a group of CNR Juniors. What the alchemist didn ' t know was that these rings did possess magical qualities, and the clever Juniors discovered the enchantment. Upon turning her ring 89 times, each Junior was transported to a glittering ballroom complete with scads of handsome princes (O.K., but there were a lot of guys there). The Juniors danced all night until the clock struck 12:00 and they all turned into pumpkins. No, wait a minute — Junior Ring Weekend? I thought this was supposed to be about Cinderella. Oh well, in the end everyone did live happily ever after with enough dreams of wonderful weekend to last an eternity (or at least until 200 Days). Quit clowning around, Carolyn. “I can’t believe the two of us and a chaperone won a trip to the Poconos!” — Activities Activities — Going twice — sold.

VIDEO MIXER I couldn’t believe it when I saw the gym filled for a mixer. Usually mixers were scantily attended, but this was no ordinary mixer. It was CNR’s first Video Mixer. A few friends and I had gone to the gym that Friday night with an air of expectation. I’d planned my clothes carefully and wore as trendy an outfit as I could find. You never know who may be there! Climbing the stairs, I was in the mood for a really good time. There he was — I’d hope he’d be here. I was so happy when he asked me to dance. I loved the atmosphere. The videos really made the mixer. I was delighted that this guy was there with me. After a while I had to go to the ladie’s room. Upon my return I felt my heart drop. There was my Maritime guy dancing with another girl. But, oh . . .! There he was — I’d hoped he’d be here, too! I was so happy when he asked me to dance . . . — Activities So who thinks Cathy’s a little ex¬ cited? Activities — . . . For white teeth (and a shiny coat!) . . . “Heck no!

They all practiced very hard And sounded lovely, And never got stagefright. Hey. I got it, girls, let’s sing with different people! We’ll have a concert and sell tickets at the door. We’ll make money and new friends And bring the house down, And leave them wanting more. Well this group then became the Glee Club. They had parties and fun, but worked a lot. They would never trade it for a second Because the Glee Club Bunch A lot of Spirit’s got! The Mormon Tabernacle Choir (We’re lying) — Activities Am I on the right song? You guys! “That’s it — sing the wrong note again and it’s three laps around the Chapel!” Hvities j WINTER WEEKEND It is two hours before the 2nd Annual CNR Christ¬ mas Tree Lighting. Two students with bulbs in hand are standing next to a beautiful 20-ft. evergreen next to the chapel. They have a 4-ft. ladder: “This is a big tree.” “Yup.” “I’m scared.” “Me too.” “Let’s have a try. Hold the ladder.” “Careful ...” “I can’t reach that branch ... Oh my God — HOLD THE LADDER . . . Eeek!” “What are you doing? HOLD ON TO THAT TREE BRANCH!” Minutes later, a local fraternity house receives a phone call. Three able-bodied Iona gentlemen arrive on the scene. “Do you have a ladder?” “Here.” “That’s not a ladder.” On 2nd thought, I’d rather cry with the Saints. OK, you guys were all just talking about the pho¬ tographer, weren’t you?

Sports N ormally sports provide a classic opportunity for school unity, spirit, encouragement and celebration, not to mention home advantage for the hosting team. CNR’s teams unfortunately often miss that extra plus, sporting an average attendance of only about five spectators per event, counting the scorekeeper. But maybe because of these drawbacks we can honestly say our teams exhibit true courage, dedication and guts, in addition to their great talents. You do honor to the CNR name. We’re behind you 100% even if we can’t be there. “Mind your own business!” CWIMMING “Pretty girls” after a hard practice. Tara Ambery cruises to finish in swim meet.
