April 8. Classes again; term papers suddenly due, book re- port books still unread, and finals in the not too dis- tant future. May 20. Second semester finals actually upon us; momen- tary panic, but there ' s the comforting thought that we survived the first ones. May 27. Class Day, and more college traditions seen for the first time. Tree planting and the unveiling of the class window in the Meadowlands assembly hall; the class will and prophecy read at dinner, and the last student body meeting of the year. The installation of new officers brings the year to its official close. May 28. Mass and the Baccalaureate Address in the morn- ing, and in the afternoon the Commencement c ere- monies in the auditorium in Angelico. Sad to see the seniors leave, all of a sudden we realize our freshman year has ended. We are sophomores! Rose Carbone ' 50. 164

February 20. Retreat— three days of devotion and silence, reflec- tion and renewal of good intentions; our Retreat Master, Father Joseph Munier, helpful and sincere. March 7. Boys from St. Mary ' s our guests, and Father Fulton presiding at the phonograph. It Might As Well Be Spring the theme of our dance at Meadowlands, and blossoms the proof of that season ' s safe arrival. March 17. The luck of the Irish to you ; a day for the wearing of the green, and wishing a Happy Feast Day to our President. We sang Mass in the main chapel; this evening, a musical program in Angelico, and everyone humming Danny Boy for days after. March 21. The first day of spring, appropriate for our Folk Dance Festival; bright costumes, international dances, and gay music. April 1. Pre-vacation uproar again; suitcases dusted off and eagerly packed, and we ' re on our way home for Easter vacation. April 7. The Alumnae ' s Easter Monday Ball at the Mark Hopkins; some lucky person won a trip to Mexico. 163
