THE HOUR GLASS ix Four years, 1944-'48, were eventful years, crowded with memories, exciting years, filled with expectancy. Now we are ready to take the journey on life's highway. No matter what the future holds, we will never forget the many little things that helped prepare us for the big tasks ahead. Our first year began with a mad series of objective tests, followed by the horrors of Freshmen Initiation. We will never forget our first College Retreat at St. Andrews, conducted by Fr, Cotter, S.J., nor the formal dedication ceremonies, at which Cardinal Spellman blessed the Marble Campus. During the year, we elected Steve Reines, Pres- identg Patty O'Williams, Vice-President, Lois Conway, Treasurer, and Marion Atkinson, Secretary of the class. In December our Senior sisters sponsored our first important college dance at the Carroll Club. Before we knew it, winter blossomed into spring, and we were received into the Sodality of Our Blessed Lady. Returning to school after surviving the pitfalls of a summersvacation, we were joined by many new class members and college life was renewed. There were some familiar faces missing . . . George Knips, Steve Reines, Arthur Miller, and Peter Glick- ert had entered the armed forces, while Ann Kelly, Marion Reiss, and Bob Kelly had answered their vocational call and were serving in the spiritul aimy of Our Lord. Harry Vinicombe joined our class after a five year sojourn in the Atlzhetic and Pacific areas, courtesy of the U.S. Navy. Again class elections were held and Andy Crocchiolo became President, Kaye Meany, Vice-President, Carol Madden, Treasurer, and Virginia Acerno, 1, ,X j Secretary. .Y j Our social calendar wasiifulj that year as the returning veterans frequented many school dances. The extra-curricular activities' field was invaded en'masse. Lois Conway was Vice-President of the Gannon Council . . . Marie Magee, Richard Guardino, and john Jennings were on, hand during Thalian productionsi. .'. Mary Finnerty and Juliet Starace represented us in the Glee Club. Along with a full social schedule came an academic program that 'demanded deep thinking. We were ,introduced into the gym- nastics of Logic via Fr. O'Brien's combined English-Latin course, Nihil est in in- tellectu . . I , , Discussions of legal technicalities dominated the conversations of Phyllis McCloy, Eileen Hurley, Mary jo Durkin, Marie Magee, and Michael Iacano, upon their ascent to the School of Law. This was our junior year . . . there was no Senior class . . . hence we reigned supreme. For many of us, it was our first introduction to 8:05 classes . . . asa class we elected Barbara Clark, Presidentg Muriel Hanley, Vice-President, Dave Miller, Treasurer, and john Roche, Secretary . . . the academic calendar included our first liducation course with Dr. Kelly. Four of our Seniors took over Curved Horn posts and Mary Finnerty directed the Glee Club. Our class agreed to combine the junior Prom with the Fordham War Memorial Ball, the event of the year which dominated the activities of almost every junior . . . finally May 14th arrived and we danced to the strains of Tex Beneke's Band . . . the culminating event of the year was the All School aliair . . . and then summer was at hand again. 11

How time flies . . . Sept. '47 . . . and we were about to achieve our goal. This was our final year at Fordham, our Senior year . . . the journey was almost at an end . . . practice teaching and part time jobs occupied the mornings of almost every class member. Sara Romeo had become Mrs. Altmann and Madeline Maurano was now Mrs. Zema, later in the year Dave Miller joined the ranks of the Benedicts . . . Senior elections were held and Barbara Clark was Presidentg Dave Miller, Vice-President, Virginia Acerno, Treasurerg and Helen Scanlon, Secretary . . . Lois Conway was elected Editor of The Grail, and plans went under way for our yearbook . . . Harry Vinicombe and Kaye Meany were Editor and Business Manager of the Curved Horn . . . The Grail sponsored a Raffle of A Basket of Cheer with a Good Foundation during the Christ- mas season, and Bill Smith, a former member of our class was the lucky winner . . . Dave Miller was named chairman of the Senior Ball which was held at the Ritz Carleton. Plans were made for our Senior Closed Retreat, our Senior Luncheon at Whyte's, Bac- calaureate Sunday on the Campus and our own Graduation Exercises in Keating Hall. And what of the things that we, as a class, did not do together . . . the smaller things, the day to day activities . . . lunch and snacks at the Baltimore, visits to Miss Scanlon's Ofiice, campus classes for the scientists-summer sessions for the speedsters, exam post mortems in the halls, Claire Trainor's trip to Wisconsin to found the N.S.A., the poster drawings of Ed Calabrese and Kay McKeever, rides taken in Muriel Hanley's jeep, the formation of the company of Cathy McCaffery and Alicia Murtha. Many things will be forgotten in future years, but never these . . . the blackboard in the Curved Horn Oliice, unoihcial message center for the class, Mr. White's lectures on class spirit, the grand winding staircase, now only a memory, the ghost elevator that needed no operator, Sodality Dances, Dr. Donnelly's astounding memory, May De- votions in the New Chapel, the persistance of Ann Rossi in selling Grail subscriptions, the Annual Retreat at St. Andrews. These are the things that will never be forgotten, the things that have made our stay at Fordham eventful and fruitful. These are the things that will always stand for Alma Mater.
