Frances Turecamo arranged a Junior Prom worthy of a high rating on our Social Calendar. AS THE gates of another social year close we turn back and recall the many social events which contributed so much toward making this past year one of pleasant memories. The gate opened wide on September 21 as the students returned for another college yearg the halls rang with laughter for classmates were together again. Those first few days were strange ones for the freshmen but the upper classmen kept them busy with parties and en- tertainment at the club. lt was no time before we were back in the swing of college life. lr- regularities in students' curricula were straight- ened out and the campus soon hummed with typical college routine. First on the social calendar for the new school year was the Faculty Tea given by Sister Marie Anna, president of the college. lt was held in the Mansion and afforded an oppor- tunity for the new faculty members to become acquainted. lt was a delightful occasion with many exchanges of summer experiences. Crisp russet leaves announced the time was at hand for the annual fall Card Party and the Juniors had great fun at their Prom held in the Jade Room ' of the Waldorf-Astoria. Happiness reigned with the Seniors at the Junior Prom. H V. V GCN

We even did the conga at the Junior Prom. door to new winter styles was opened as seniors became lovely models. The Card Party was held in the Casino, October 23rd for the bene- fit of the Georgian Court endowment fund. The anticipation of a gay HaIlowe'en was seen clearly on each girl's face as the day of witches and ghosts approached. The freshman class seemed dubious about October 27th, for it was on that day that the newcomers were initiated into the ranks of collegians. The day was concluded by a delightful and appropriate interpretation of Arsenic and Old Lace given by the traditional Hallowe'eners, the sopho- mores. The cider and doughnuts served after the performance made the occasion a real party. On November lOth, and November l7th, in cooperation with St. Peter's Forensic Com- mission, two members of Tau Kappa Alpha, Cecily Swabb and Kathleen Mooney, upheld the affirmative side of the resolution, Re- solved: that Franco Spain should be admitted into the United Nations. Both debates were held at Georgian Court, the first with the University College of St. John's and then with Seton Hall College. The Holly Hop Committe anxiously await Santa's gifts. l L ll N, l l l i i Diane Delany as Henrietta, Marie Schubert as Arabel, and Elizabeth Byrne as Elizabeth in The Barrefts of Wimpole Street. The Mansion Christmas tree filled every heart with holiday gladness. A Christmas house party at Kingscote.
