Ursula Lafferty and Esther Bonorden . . . Senior Harpists. Kelly green, bright shamrocks, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling , and the Freshman Class, combined to treat the student body to an Irish Party on March l7, in the Casino. They intro- duced their talent to us that evening and the spirit of St. Patrick invaded every heart. Another memorable occasion was the radio- debate given by Cecily Swabb and Kathleen Mooney with Rutger's University men over the Asbury Park FM Station WJLK. The girls up- held the affirmative side of the discussion, Resolved: That Women Combine A Career And Marriage, and they did a splendid job. The Social Calendar was carried swiftly into April. This month of showers and sunshine brought flowers and lighter hearts along with its Easter glory. Everyone returned from the Easter vacation with straw hats and exciting tales of holiday happenings. Soon, however, conversations changed from past events to future plans for the annual Sophomore Week- end. This Spring Fever weekend, as the sophomores called it, was under the chairman- ship of Cathy McNamara. Everyone enjoyed the picnic on Saturday afternoon in back of the Casino where there was much fun playing games and eating box-lunches. A formal dance was held Saturday night at the Casino where Courtiers and their escorts were whirled in an atmosphere of merry-go-rounds and cotton candy which made it seem like a real country This talented group of seniors perform at the Musicale. fair. Sunday afternoon the Mansion veranua and lawn made a picturesque setting for the tea dance. Thus the happy weekend ended leaving us all with a case of Spring Fever , for which the sophomores were responsible. The last Social ltem to be listed on the Georgian Court Calendar was the annual Musi- cale which took place on Sunday, May i5 in the Casino. This artistic production by the college orchestra and starring Jessica Dragon- ette, our distinguished alumna, was under the direction of Sister M. Beatrice. When the curtain closed on the finale, and the enthusi- astic applause of the audience expressed their appreciation of this unusually fine production, we felt a little sad as we realized that the last red-circled date on the Social Calendar had been reached. With this event we closed the last door of our Social life here at the Court for another year. As Dorothea Scheuermann plays the piano Rosemary 'Dunn and Frances Clancy stand poised with violins. Our distinguished alumna, Jessica Dragonette, sings at the annual Musicale. Dorothea Scheuermann and Patricia Bremer look up to Sister Beatrice for the signal to begin the Waltz.

Casey is at the bat and it looks like a hit. Our freshman major leaguers are getting in some of that needed spring training. more formal way. On this occasion, the lucky upperclassmen were awarded their blazers. The finals of the tennis tournament took place on October ll, and Joan lskyan was unquestion- ably the champ. The sports calendar for November read: Basketball and bowling tournaments . With the coming of colder weather we turned to indoor games. Intramural basket- ball was played and the Sophomores were triumphant. We cheered our respective teams on and, even if we couldn't all win, we had a grand time losing. Louise Tufano was respon- sible for the fine organization of these tourna- ments. The bowling tournament was in full swing too. Jeannie Johnson, as coordinator, received excellent cooperation. The pin gals were a little tired, but who cares. Their bowling tech- niques, especially those of Marylin Peterson and Marietta Tripician, were exceptional. Watch the birdie, is the secret to the badminton success of Doris Simcoe and Margaret Flynn. Our Robin Hoods, Catherine Walker, Mar jorie Maling, and Miriam Burgos hit the bull's-eye every time. The sports calendar for December read: Bridge tournament and all indoor sports. The snow was blanketing the pine trees but the Courtiers felt that they really were tor- tunate in having the Casino for sports, for its attractions were numerous. Besides enioying the indoor activities of- fered by the Casino, Julie Sullivan called upon all bridge addicts to sign up for a tournament. We did so and with the help of Culbertson, Blackwell, and a strong sense of humor, we did surprisingly well. The sports calendar for January read: Bad- minton and ping-pong tournaments . After the holidays, the net games came into prominence and we were ready for them. Matilda'DiStefano engineered the badminton l i Shuffleboard is one of many indoor sports offered at the Casino. Joan Fairchild and Penelope Karagias found that it afforded lots of fun.
