The spirit of Rosary Hill is rejuvenated every year on Moving Up Day, a day on which each of us looks back with nostalgia and ahead with enthusiasm. The lavishly and lovingly decorated floats, symbols of the classes, drive proudly through the main streets of Buffalo, weaving a streak of glory for the college, and drawing ever tighter the bonds which unite each class. As the parade began again on May 9, 1959, the spirit of this year was born. The long, lazy summer did not silence, but merely re-echoed, the eager laughter and song which heralded the arrival of this new chapter in our young history. For the spirit was even more vital in September, enhanced 190-fold by the arrival of the Class of ’63, and it has con- tinued to develop throughout the year, growing in dimension and intensity. The spirit emanates and grows from one to another. The queen and her court—representations of the Rosary Hill ideal.
