Every building bears the irrevocable stamp of its architect ... it is the spirit of her per- sonality and the echo of her leadership which stamps itself upon the buildings of Rosary Hill as well as on the minds and hearts of its students. In recognition of this spirit and this leadership, we respectfully dedicate this issue of the Summit to Sister Mary Angela, O.S.F. -Recording to the grace of (god which has been jtven to me, as a wise builder, 2 (aid this foundation, and another (wilds thereon, IV (et everyone ta(ee care how he huilds thereon, T or other foundation no one can (ay, hut that which (tas been (aid which ifjesus Christ—y 1 Cor 3,11-12 The dual aspects of architecture, beauty and utility, are achieved in the harmonious blending of individual elements. As the outward expression of an architect’s concept, a building combines balance, proportion, sym- metry and order into an expressive entity, complete in itself. It is more than fanciful analogy that the basic laws and principles of architecture are applicable to the proper course of our lives as college students; in fact, the architect of a building is the ectype of the Divine Architect Himself to whose guidance we must submit our lives if we wish to achieve our proper end. To recognize order and design in our lives is to perceive that Divine Architect. On Him and in Him we build the foundation, strengthened as we are by a deepening comprehension of supernatural truth and by a more in- tensified realization of the beauty and logical precision of philosophic thought. The order, which of necessity must exist if we are to attain to completeness and beauty is neither achieved in- dependently nor is it thrust upon us. It is the natural and supernatural potential within each of us, brought to fruition by our teachers, who as guides and counselors, are co-operating artisans aiding us in executing the Divine Plan. Built upon the enduring foundation of Christ Himself, the strong walls of our educational development are as steadfast as the eternal verities they represent. It is appropriate that the Concentrations should be symbolized by these sturdy walls, broken as they are by windows which admit the light of wisdom. If any architect has attained the subtle quality we name beauty no matter how delicately refined its linea- ments may be, a building cannot survive the test of utility unless it is bound together intrinsically by an exact system of inter-relations which are predetermined in relation to purpose. It is in the religious and social as- pects of our lives, bound together under the one word activities” that we find this inter-relationship at Rosary Hill College. The hearth, symbol of unity, has been chosen to represent the inter-class spirited enthusiasm and co-operation which serve to unify all the diverse elements of college life into a common whole. The satisfactory completion of any design depends upon minute attention to detail and step by step accretion of elements without losing sight of the goal—which is first in intention, but last in execution. It is thus that we strive to achieve maturity and completeness in our college lives. Therefore, it is by steps—the steady pro- gression upwards—that we symbolize our progression through the college years. Standing, finally, at the door, paradoxically symbolic of both the end and the beginning for us, we come to a fuller realization of what we have built and to a more poignant awareness of what we have yet to build. It is now for us to bring to completion what was begun under the watchful guidance of our teachers — with a wisdom that was not our own—and thus fulfill our sacred destiny according to the master plan of the Divine Architect—because life is building, we are the builders. 7 Reverend Joseph Weber Chaplain Sister M.

Social Studies Concentrations ... waifs cfmcftwj comvfexittes of tfoucjfit-' ... windows acfmtttwj tfie (tijft oj wtscfo It would seem as though theology classes have their light moments too, as this group of freshmen students take time out to appreciate their instructor's sense of humor. 'IPUksoydy an(( Philosophy and theology are the foundation and center of knowledge. In order to form her life in the Catholic tradition, the student equips herself with both the basic and advanced tools of the knowledge of God and the history of human strivings for truth. As this phase of learning is enlarged throughout the four years, she is able to make the other facets of her studies correspondingly more complete. Ann Marie Littlefield, Joanna Coppola and Anajean Zurek find Father Gerenscer's illustration serves to clarify a difficult philosophical problem. Father Weber engages in an informal dis- cussion in moral theology with members of the junior class. EnyUsk The English concentration attempts to teach the student to express herself correctly and effectively, to encourage her to read accurately and with intelligent appreciation and to acquaint her with some of the best examples of literary genres in order to arouse in her a real intellectual curiosity and an enthusiasm for literature that will enrich her future life. Panel members pause to consider Sr. Georgia’s pertinent observation in mod- ern poetry class. ''The cosmological ramifications found in the works of William Shakespeare are manifold,” Mr. Masterson informs English majors. Journalists of tomorrow check their knowledge of today as they correct their weekly current events test with in- structor, Mr. Smith. An English major’s notebook runneth over.” These students of American litera- ture never miss a word. Anita Anderson, Pat Parada, Gerry Balaz, and Clare Siegel are assisted by Mr. Kuo as they put the finishing touches on the annual campus Christmas display. A thorough knowledge of modern art techniques is acquired by these modern art enthusiasts as they examine paintings of contemporary artists. Air. Kuo examines an etching produced through the combined efforts of senior art students, Sue Moore, Mary Paul Kennedy, Mary Manzella and Mary foan Hassett. Vri By blending practical, aesthetic and Christian concepts, the student of art creates within herself the basic attitudes neces- sary for a professional career in the field of art. She is pro- vided with such an orientation of the arts to life that she becomes aware of the apostolic possibilities of art as a means to restore all things in Christ. Art... an expression in symbolic imagery of the beauty and harmony that is in God. A candid shot of a class in piano methods finds Evelyn Cook and Patrina Saia discussing a technical diff iculty in their score, while Sister Brendan assists fane Averill in interpreting her selection. Music major, Sylvia Glen ski, polishes up the selections she has chosen to demonstrate her ability on the keyboard—a prerequisite for her Music Education degree. Freshmen music students perfect their string technique under the guidance of Sister Brendan. The music concentration strives to give to the student a solid foundation in the techniques of musical interpretation and a broad general view of the scope and depth of musical litera- ture. The student tries to develop within herself the ability to project the ideas of the composer to her audience by a meaning- ful rendition of both instrumental and vocal compositions. Music ... a representation of the perfect concord and the perfect order that is God. Linguistic scholarship, developed by a study of classical and contemporary languages, achieves a dual aim. It discloses to the student the beautiful and varied cultures of other nations. The study of language also provides a bond of unity with con- temporary societies by instilling a deeper appreciation of other ideas and other people. Judy Walker, Mary Lou Mulhern and Camille Aver- sano, freshmen Latin scholars, express pride in the final arrangement of their bulletin board assignment. Sue Formhal’s sight translation seems to amuse Carol Wetzel, Elaine Navagh and Mary Kay McCracken in Sister Magdalis’ Spanish class. After class, puzzled German students, Betty Martin and Gerry Kraska, seek the assistance of Sister Stef ana in clarifying a difficult transla- tion. Sessions in the language lab enable French students to familiar- ize themselves with the spoken language, facilitating their own pronunciation. The social studies concentration, through lectures, research, panel dis- cussions, guest speakers and field trips aims to nurture an appreciation of yesterday, to develop an understanding of today and to prepare for the future of tomorrow. The purpose of this is to attain the goal of educated Catholic women who will assume roles of influence in the classroom, in government and in the home. Joan Weber finds an interested audience as she presents an oral report in history class. Eileen Reagan and Carol Kohza . . . girl pathfinders. The sociology concentration attempts to form in the student a search- ing, inquisitive mind which will produce liberal minded democratic viewpoints and a genuine understanding of human behavior in order to help herself and her fellow man to a fuller, more fruitful life. Now what are the words . . . ?” Mr. Barresi and the senior sociology majors try to express themselves in precisely the right terms. Sociology majors discuss the prospect of their forthcoming session of volunteer work at the Neighborhood House. ecretana aenee This math class really seems to be facing up to its problems. Senior mathematics and secretarial science seniors, Ann Bittar, Barbara Biondolillo and Mary Lou Or- lando plan pro-seminar project with Sister Justa. pAatfie manes Throughout her course of studies, the student of mathe- matics achieves the habit of logical thinking and critical analysis by applying established rules and formulae to intricate problems. This forte is applicable in every field of knowledge which she encounters in her intellectual growth. Rosary Hill strives not only to provide a firm basis for intellectual evaluation, but also to form skilled women ready to take their places in the practical spheres of the business world. By combining integrity, accuracy and effi- ciency, students of the secretarial sciences prepare them- selves to travel the complex paths of a professional career with competence and discernment. Miss Condon smiles as secretarial students struggle to transcribe their shorthand dictation. Lucille DiLorenzo and Mary Ann Phillips discover the recorder to be an exacting task-master in secretarial studies. Sctence The science concentrations aim to educate women in scientific pursuits to enable them to take their places in the laboratory, in industry, and in hospitals where they may be of service to their fellow man. The students are trained to consider the morality and ethics of scientific action and never to lend their scientific knowledge to base purposes or deception. Joanne Uebelhoer, Martha Miller, Mary Kay Little and Carol Siefert recognize that accuracy is essential to solving a problem in physics. Chemistry students soon realize that teamwork is an asset in conducting laboratory experiments. Does this amoeba look like anyone you know?” In preparation for the professions as medical record librarians and medical technologists, these seniors are working in affiliation with Mercy Hospital. 29 netu ucanon The responsibility of building a complete life does not terminate within ourselves. The student of edu- cation aims to awaken a realization of the existence of truth and its underlying dependence upon God in the minds of young America. To equip herself for this, she takes a series of courses designed to ac- quaint her with the various phases of education. Following this she spends a period of time in an area school where she observes classes and does practice teaching under the guidance of experienced sponsor teachers. Lm rar J cience r r Airs. Elmer discusses educational problems with future teachers, Gertrude Shafer, Annette Sparcino, Sister M. Noel and Ann Bittar. Eileen Reagan, practice teacher, illustrates her lecture by the use of the map. Sister Patrice, library science instructor, ex- amines the card catalogue with Annette AlcCleary, Lily Cabigas and Marion Schnell. T ranta These members of the speech class seem absorbed in the topic at hand. T once Modern dance class helps these students to attain grace and agility as well as an understanding of what the modern artist is striving to convey. Drama students bring a touch of the Orient to Rosary Hill with Lute Song”. The speech and drama courses are designed to develop the student’s ability to present a dramatic performance, to acquaint her with the great body of dramatic literature and to give her a solid foundation on which to base a critical judgment of the plays and movies that are a part of modern society. Ac tmxks a o • + In a special procession at the annual Offertory Mass, the student body contributes food for needy families. The silence of a closed retreat provides many opportunities for meditation and spiritual reading. Father Pascal Foley, O.F.M., closed the senior retreat with benediction in the chapel at Stella Niagara. 35 At the conclusion of the procession the sodality prefect crowns Our Lady, the patron of Rosary Hill College. The rose chain procession symbolizes one of Rosary Hill’s loveliest traditions—the coronation of the Blessed Mother. Noon hour on campus is chapel time as students gather to say the rosary. The four weeks prior to Christmas pnd Rosary Hill students observing the traditional custom of praying around the symbolic Advent wreath in the foyer of Marian Library. The campus Sodality is open to all girls who wish to strive for personal sanctification through special devotion to the Blessed Mother. The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is a nationwide organization designed to train both young men and women as catechists for teaching Christian doctrine. Father Matthias Manly, O.F.M., director of the Lady of Rosary Fraternity of the Third Order, blesses tertiaries in the chapel after a monthly meeting on campus. Miss Vera Denty of London addresses the student body at a Thursday morning as- sembly. Rev. Joseph S. Breen, C.M. speaks at the Octo- ber, 1936 Convocation. Dorothy Moran places a bouquet at the feet of the Blessed Mother at the culmination of the Capping Ceremony, which formally welcomes the Class of I960 into the academic world of Rosary Hill. The Delta Epsilon Sigma pin represents high academic achievement and enroll- ment in the honorary scholastic fraternity for Catholic colleges. Norma Engen, Eileen Reagan, Mimi Bermingham, Sister M. Sheila and Mary Lou Orlando of the Class of 1957 are inducted into Delta Epsilon Sigma by the officers of the Rosary Hill Chapter. The flame of knowledge is lit anew as Jo Ellen Bald- win lights the candle of Marie D’Angelo. A final hymn offered by the student body, now increased by one hundred and thirty freshmen, is offered to the Blessed Mother at the 1956 Capping Ceremony. f y Where shall 1 hang this? queries Mary Paul Kennedy as she and her fellow senior art students put last minute touches on their art exhibit. Syit ia Glenski and Rosalie Andolina rehearse the program for their graduate recital. A goal has been achieved as a graduate kneels to kiss the ring of His Excellency, the A ost Rev. Joseph A. Burke on Com- mencement Day. Omnizations Isabelle Mercer and her staff use production line techniques in preparing the weekly S.G.A. Bulletin in time for the Thursday assembly. At evening rewrite meetings the staff of the Ascent” finds that cooperation helps solve many editorial problems quickly and efficiently. Mr. Fremy’s pictures for the Summit?’ arouse a good deal of interest as editor Mary Ann Kennedy and her assistants eager- ly scan the prints for possible glimpses of themselves. Eileen Reagan and Kay Kearns, president and vice-president of the Rosary Hill Student Government Association, preside at a weekly Council meeting. Joanne Palisano and Martha Anne Resch, senior and junior campus delegates for N.F.C.C.S. The Loyola Political Academy works with Canisius and D'Youville Colleges in an effort to promote increased participation and interest in local political affairs. N.S.A. delegates Carolyn Kobza and Caroline Ernst pause in the lounge to discuss pertinent student problems. The Campus Organization Committee, which consists of the presidents of all campus organizations, acts as steering com- mittee and coordinator for the various clubs and their numerous activities. Aquinas Book Club members foan Donoghue, fudy Hedger, foan Collins, Anita Anderson and Sue Hartke confer with their moderator Sister Georgia as they compile their reading list agenda for the semester The interpretation of a study in modern art offered by Mary Man- zella seems to invite spirited discus- sion and apparently divided opinion among members of the Art Club. A hearty delegation from the Athletic Club pause for a picture at Marian Library before having their ups and downs” on the campus pond. Joan Collins and Mary Lou Mulhern serve as CURA represen- tatives for Rosary Hill College. The Catholic Action Commission encour- ages student religious development by studying and encouraging spiritual activities. The Family Life Commission prepares young college women for their future roles as Catho- lic wives and mothers. Glee Club members and their director, Father Michael Palatoi, take a bow following a program of high musical caliber. 44 Members of the International Relations Club meet regu- larly with other area colleges to discuss problems of in- ternational interest. The Student’s Chapter of the Music Educators National Conference includes those students who plan to continue their careers as music teachers. Florence G or ski, president of Kappa Sigma Rho, presides at an after school meeting of chemistry majors. By various projects the Missiology Club aids the work of the missions. Miss Condon serves a cup of eggnog to Mary Ellen McCarthy and Celine Cooley at the Faculty Tea which traditionally signals the start of the Christmas holidays for Rosary Hill students. The Glee Club, under the direction of Father Palotai, are the featured entertain- ers at the Christmas Tea as they sing a medley of holiday favorites. 46 Informal student dances are frequent highlights of the social calendar on campus. Canisius College and Rosary Hill combined talents for the presentation of Lute Song”. Dea McKenna, Larry LePrell, Jim Stang e and Patricia McCann rehearse a scene for the rapidly ap- proaching opening night. A dramatic moment in Lute Song” finds Pat McCarthy, Betsy Ahrens, Anne McCoy and Maureen Culane demonstrating the acting ability which won applause from the audience and good reviews from the newspapers.

By sign and symbol the inward realities of these four years have been made known: the reality of spiritual and intellectual development, of deeper insight into the Divine Truth, a more comprehensive understanding of God’s presence in all creation, the awareness of shared experiences, a sudden sensitivity to the never ending experiences with truth, beauty and goodness, the crystallization of nebulous plans, the achievement of individual goals, inevitable farewells, the realization that only the ineffably beautiful Plan of Christ could have brought to fruition this myriad of diverse elements which is the 1957 Senior Class.
