In many of its aspects this change is inconsequential; in others, it is so significant as to influence the mode of our existence. We have experienced at Rosary Hill College what we would term an educational change. Through learning, we have developed spiritually, intellectually, and socially. Since this change in us implies a cause, we acknowledge the faculty as the force behind our educational change. They have taught us well to seek the Unchanging Truth. Guiding us in the various fields of knowledge, they have enabled us to change profitably, to grow in understanding and appreciation. Through activity, which constitutes a change in itself, the finite being expands, and breaks the barriers of isolation. By participating in the various campus activities - - religious, academic, and social, we render active the hidden capabilities of the soul, and manifest the inner changes which have occurred in us. In a sense we become more than ourselves by these associations with our fellow men, for we learn to forget self in serving others. With true charity in our hearts we strive to aid them in their search for Truth. Through this service to our fellow men, we hope to attain our final end - - fife everlasting in the CRanc efess JMotu of (qocf. The Summit oj 1956 is ck icat eat to tfie Pev.

TfxcoCo w Philosophy and theology orient all studies toward the goal of educa- tion which is the development of a man who thinks, judges, and acts ... in accordance with right reason illumined by the light of the ex- ample and teaching of Christ.” (Pius XI, Christian Education of Youth) At One of the noblest characteristics of the human being is his love of beauty. The study of art cultivates in the student a sense of wonder at the beauty in the world and deepens her love for it. Art makes the student more sensitive to all esthetic joys and prepares her for the intuitive grasp of beauty. Art students, Shirley Andol, Sheila Cotter, and Kay Leitten learn by doing, while Air. Kuo directs them in the latest ceramic techniques. .Arts arvcC Getters Students of art history examine early monastic manu- scripts. Standing, left to right: Pam Neville, Sister feanne, Carole Campbell, Sharon Smith, Marcia De- laney, deSales McKenna. Seated: Sue Price, Margaret Dempsey.

Jane Averill, Barbara Claus, Mary Lynn Brydges, Petrina Saia, Sylvia Glen ski, and Pat Ryan blow away merrily under the direction of Mr. Krestic. Harmony and rhythm are es- sential characteristics of beauty. Music, which has been called the language of the soul, en- riches the human personality by expression of the beautiful through sound. HnqdsFi jVlocfarn Can Sister Magdalis and the French and Spanish students assume an international air. Modern inventions are rapidly diminishing the size of the world. This changing pattern has brought us into close contact with people of all nations. Through the study of modern languages we are enabled to exchange ideas with these people and thus to learn to understand and appreciate their thought, culture, and way of life. The student of English in reading literature comes into contact with the great thoughts of the human mind and delights in the truth and beauty these thoughts convey. She also tries to become fluent in expressing her own ideas by acquiring proficiency in the skills of correct speaking and writing. Aspiring authors compose a sonnet in creative writing class to Sister Georgia's enjoyment. Conference maketh a ready man.” Jane Reardon, Marjorie Dehlinger, Shirley Cherubin, and Air. Masterson. June Makey and Ann Salter demonstrate their knowledge of French to a group of interested students. Mother Marion and Marilyn Campbell find humor in theory of equations. JvWfWriatics A group of students enjoy a lecture in trigonometry. Biology students compute data The science of life provides the stu- dent with direct observation of the physiology and development of liv- ing beings. Biology fosters in the student an insight into the laws governing life and its change. JVlatFverrmtics The mental habits of precision and accuracy, which are so well developed in mathematics, are applicable to all of man’s activities. Mathematics cultivates the reason and provides the student with a sense of the sacred, exacting, unbending objectivity of the hum- blest truth.” (Jacques Maritain—Education at the Crossroads) Katharine Daly and Gerry Kraska examine a slide, while Tiny the skeleton, looks on. and Science Completing an experiment are, top to bottom: Barbara Brodziak, Dorothy Shepherd, Paula AMetus, Carol Wagner, Pat Wilkiewicz, El nor Windrath. after an experiment.

The hospital services lend a special opportunity to the student to strengthen the virtue of apostolic living by developing a sense of service to the physical and spiritual needs of the human being. Cfumi mistry Guided by the scientific method, the chemistry student examines the composition of inanimate mat- ter, reasonably comprehends the conditions bringing about changes in it, and in the spirit of theology, realizes the origin of matter, which is at once its end—God.

Secretariaf Sciences Maureen Corcoran, Mary Rogers, Barbara Biondolillo, and Pat Stanley operate one of the new business machines. While developing a mastery of business techniques, the stu- dent of secretarial science is also being equipped to adapt her- self to the varied situations of the business life by being edu- cated in the dynamic thinking of the liberal arts. DocationaC Studies Student teachers pause for a moment on the steps of Marian Library. Theresa At tea puts to use her knowledge of teaching techniques. Airs. Elmer approves of Ann Bittar's teaching methods. Education To be awakened to the existence of truth is fundamental in the process of becoming educated. The challenging role of an educator is that of guiding others by means of sound principles, that they may have useful lives as created, rational, and social beings. Sharon Smith, practice teacher, jokes informally ivith some of her students. 37 SociaC aenee Sociaf Studies ancf Socioto V Human life is essentially a relationship of person to person. Through a study of man in both the past and present, the student gains an insight into human na- ture and its never-changing aspects. A look into America’s past with Airs. Sommers. Air. Connor explains the influence of the environment on the adolescent in juvenile delinquency class. Sociologists contemplate the three questions. Where did Hembie come from ? Why is Ann here? Where is CZaire going? Dance Dance students perfect the art of ring around the rosy.
