ll! ff WEARING THE RING September 1956: Freshly commissioned upperclassmen proudly sported their university rings with all the fanfare and gestures that we usually thought of as only being associated with newly engaged girls. Apropos of this, we noticed that some lads' disporting was short- lived when barren fingers began appearing in the classrooms. A new landlord, Rev. William Boyle, SJ., moved into Dealy Hall. We, as veteran tenants, were still complaining of the menace which one-way staircases posed to their two-Way traHic. Campusites also cried bitter tears for their balding tires which had to roll over bombed out parking lots. CCity Hall would tolerate no such gripes-I mean how much do some people want?j Midnight conferences at the Readeway in-still-ed the culture that friendships demand. The Advanced ROTC Kadets couldnlt wait to sign their pay records, they now were able to sympathize with the impatient vet's search of the mail. Christmas holidays were spent in the Post Office, saving for a sunny Florida Easter. Fordhanfs role in the business community was boosted by all those who aided the automation conference. February 1957: The Ball and Chain society was rapidly gaining new members. Dorm bull ses- sions and card games lost ground with the invasion of TV to the stairwell. Sportsfans, morale was given a double shot in the arm when Carden basketball resumed and when Ram track star, Tom Courtney, gained international acclaim as an Olympic Cold Medalist. Accounting Majors were happy to see Beta Alpha Psi join the ranks of the professional fraternities in the school. It could not, however, compete in the fashion world in which G.A.X. and A.D.S. reigned supreme by virtue of their great musicomedy. The highlight on the social blotter rolled in on the water wheels of an olde Mississippi Showboat . . . complete with gambling on the promenade . . . Place your bets ladies and gentlemen, place your bets . . . OUR FINEST HOUR September 1957: Leadership on the publications, in the councils, fraternities and clubs, served to test our administrative ability and purposefulness. However, ROBERTA added the really creative touch of magic Cbetter known as hard workj to the semester. Alumni, campus, and downtown talent all combined to make this Collins undertaking a smash hit. Far Around the World in the South Pacific, a Jesuit parish reaped the benelits from the record sales of the Mission Dance. Following the lead of the tenucent, dead beer, Keating cafeteria raised their pie and cake to fifteen cents: Why should Webster Avenue reap all the profit? Folk- lore was enriched by Bragg-arts and jet jockies returning from summer camp. A fine troupe of Guys and Dolls entertained the Interclass Dinner. No, the main course wasn,t ham! Christmas sparkled as the traditional diamond giving season for 1958 graduates- from jingle Bells to Wedding Bells. The last New Year's Eve in college brought out the sentimentalists in choruses of Auld Lang Syne. February 1958: We approached the last hurdle on the obstacle course with veteran confidence. Placement interviews, always anticipated with apprehension, filled the semester calendar. Tax season ushered in a rash of quests for aid from Fordham's future C.P.A.'s. The phone line from Reidy to Eight Ten around deadline times was as busy as a local ward switchboard the night before election day. Senior week crammed with camaraderie. So, who needs .sleep . . . did your orders come through . . . be sure to send me your service address . . . where are you going on your honeymoon . . . remember to keep in touch . . . any volunteers for godfathers . . . what firm will you be with . . . I'll see you at the alumni dance . . . any last minute revisions of the Student Directory? Commencement exercises assured us that we were ready to colonize yet another NEW WORLD. If somewhere in our reverie of four years past, we failed to reproduce some of your fondest nostalgia, we beg your pardon. But, after all is said and done, ,Aries is just a Greek billy goat that wandered astray on a Rose Hill and a Marble Campus. 81
