The keeper of the library—in the early morning, in the gathering dusk. Who with the Wise Man believes that “wisdom is present in the learned thoughts” (Proverbs 8, 12), that “wisdom is better than all the most precious things, and that whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it (Proverbs 8, 11). Whose simplicity and serenity reflect the unity and peace of Truth. Because we are, we search. First, childlike, with acceptance, Trusting to the knowledge of others . . . Later, as adults, alone. The path, difficult now, forked with doubt, pride . . . Insight comes gradually, or with suddenness But never completely . . . It comes from the shadows of the printed page, From the remembered phrase of a lecture . . . It comes in its brilliance from an act of kindness From the pains of suffering . . . but most completely —It comes in the echo of the intoned Credo— Those tones which must accompany us on our Journey toward TRUTH. Campus—Monument to Man’s Search Snow, stately elms surround January's Rosary Hall. Rosary Hall, quiet in the September sun. 7 From the idea into the reality . . . In May, 1958 surveyors and bulldozers began the growth of Duns Scotus Hall. This fall, completed, its laboratories, classrooms, and art studios will begin to fulfill their purpose: to aid in the never completed transformation of the student.

THEOLOGY and PHILOSOPHY arc the core of our educational experience. In a graduated study, we attack the seven philosophical questions and the basic topics of Theology. Philosophy matures and humbles the mind, and prepares for the transcending power of Theology: that branch of knowl- edge which unifies and fulfills the im- prisoned reach of the mind. Late Picasso? No. Father Gcrcnscer diagrams the aspects of the personality for one of his philos- ophy classes. 21 Man is capable of genius, power, passion. His highest thoughts, heroic deeds, and ignoble falls are testimony to these gifts. LITERATURE is a record of man in his thousand shapes, as he uses his powers building empires, painting landscapes, wag- ing war. Literature gives the student vicarious ex- perience, deepens his perceptions, and widens his sympathies. English majors assume a dedicated pose in their natural habitat—the stacks. Barbara Kubala, Mary Katherine Pepe, Mary Jane Ostrowski, Virginia Helmig. MUSIC, Musician. Both words suggest spontaneity, vision. As deeply moving as a composition may seem, the art of creation and the skill of rendition have their origin in knowledge: knowledge of the proper nuances, of the subtleties of style, of the rigors of the laws of harmony. The stu- dent of music makes this knowledge her own; for in this discipline lies freedom, in this effort, the impression of effortlessness. Obviously there is joy in music. Paula Kirchmeyer accompanies three happy students of the clarinet: Marilyn Gorden, Diane Nisita and Vir- ginia Schmidt. Mr. Kuo demonstrates the correct manner of centering a copper bowl to the members of the Metalcraft and Jewelry Making class: Anita Anderson, Jane McDonald, Patricia Renaldo, Ellen Klausman, Clare Siegel. The artist and the philosopher are one in their search for Truth. Both look for transcending values, seeking timeless criteria for judgement. The student of ART must develop her talent, realizing that a thing is not beautiful, or contrary to beauty because of the mind of the viewer, but in and of itself. Patricia Wilkiewicz and Rose Marie Messina, members of the Sociology concentra- tion, direct play activities in the Neighborhood House as part of their field work. Today, when the march toward technology threatens to divert man from the basic human problems, the study of SOCIOLOGY fills a very real need. In the crushing convenience of modern life, man struggles for identity but to the student of the social sciences, man as man remains uppermost. “Haben sie schon das Bild genomen?” questions Elnor Windrath as she interrupts her practice session in the language laboratory to accommodate the photographer. The life of a nation is expressed in its LAN- GUAGE. Understanding and sympathy are en- larged through linguistic facility and a knowl- edge of a nation's thought. It is this reverence for the language, customs, and culture of an- other country which prepares the student for the Christian ideal—the community of nations, the brotherhood of man.

MATHEMATICS is one of the greatest achieve- ments and surest delights of the mind. Because its demands are stringent, the student of mathe- matics must develop a logical and coolly ana- lytical approach. But, if mathematics is a rigid taskmaster it is also a bountiful rewarder. Be- cause of the abstract nature of mathematics its disciples are admitted to an exclusive realm- that of creation. A modern paradox: IBM in a Walden Pond atmosphere. Janice Kasmer and Anne Rolling enjoy the novelty of their setting, as they spend extra hours practicing on the business machines. The world of practical affairs demands swift decision. The habits of thought developed in the liberal arts tradition encourage action based on principle. The student of SECRETARIAL SCIENCE is trained to judge incisively, to act directly, while doing the truth in charity. Men of SCIENCE accept the timeless challenge to solve the mysteries of reality. It is a bold undertaking. Because of this, each new scientific achievement celebrates the wonder of man’s analytic powers. That scientist who is imbued with the Chris- tian ideal recognizes the power of God in the complexity of the universe, and the goodness of God’s gifts in man’s accomplish- ments. Students of physics experiment to determine the properties of a convex mirror. Carol Lano adjusts for focal length while Yvonne Zappia, Mary Foran and Patricia Dadante compute their answers. Lois Grabenstatter confers with Mr. Eger. The study of HISTORY is a record of man’s search. If read correctly, it will reveal the circumstances, the acci- dents, the colorings of the age. All that is transitory and mutable will be shown for what it is. The essential and immutable truths of human na- ture will remain. Mr. Charles Gliozzo injects a happy note into the serious business of Italian unifica- tion during a Modern European history class. Dr. Ewell, Vice Chancellor for Development at the University of Buffalo, relates his impressions of Soviet education to members of the History, Social Studies and Sociology concentrations. Dr. Ewell was a recent visitor to the Soviet Union. Eight political science students accompanied Sister M. Urban and Mr. Charles Gliozzo to Brockport State Teachers College. Area colleges and univer- sities met to discuss their campus participation in the November Gubernatorial election. Students in Mrs. Elmer’s Special Methods course examine and discuss unit preparation. Lucky pupils! June Makey, student teacher, shows how to diagram a sentence. June did her practice teaching at Kensington High School. The shaping of another per- son’s mind is a sacred task, one that the teacher will approach with reverence. The EDUCATION courses are designed to aid in ac- quiring the skills of teach- ing and in the co-ordination of knowledge that the teacher may better impart the vision of, and the re- spect for, Truth. There is no sound in the world like the ring of applause after a successful performance. This applause was par- ticularly well-deserved after the Rosary Hill Players' splendid production of Anastasia. On stage for the curtain Because a gesture can sometimes ex- press an emotion more eloquently than any words, and because man must be a creator in his own way, DRAMA has always been an integral part of civilization. The actor, the drama, imitate life and in so doing, illuminate it. The Dowager Empress (Patricia McCann) as- sures Anastasia (Adele Hamam) that she be- lieves her to be the lost princess. call are: Joseph Enright, Patrick O’Leary, John Strauss, Joyce Miskuf, John LaFalce, Patricia McCann, Adele Hamam, David Male, Anne McCoy, Mel Berry, Barbara Hubbard, Herbert Sweeny, Ronald Nowak.

To us. Moving Up Day means achievement, change, gaiety, Holy Mass, final convoca- tion, exchange of class roses, coronation of a queen, and finally the triumphal cav- alcade which announces our new status. The loveliest ceremony of the school year is the May Crowning, traditionally held on the lawn of Rosary Hill. With rose chain and song, the students gather to pay 48 tribute to the Queen of Rosary Hill. May is a month of whimsey; blossoms, beauty and unpredictable weather.

CLARE SIEGEL WHO ARRIVE TO BEGIN The Seniors . . . who represent an end, and a beginning.

The Seniors . . . who are not easily categorized. A class that is composed of members; each member more than a part of a class. The sum not greater than its parts; the sum great only because its parts remain so.

From the beginning of Rosary Hill College in 1948, Sister Brendan gave selflessly in organizing the Music Department, and in serving as Chairman of the Music Concentration. “We thank God that you were ours; yes, that you are still ours and remain ours. Who goes home to the Father, remains in the family.” (Saint Jerome) At the piano, practicing with a String Group, teaching Theory, directing the Glee Club—to all that concerned Music, Sister Brendan worked with a wholehearted dedication.
