lil The annual card party in October when Seniors turned models is another memory to tuck away. The bride is Cecily Swabb, and her model-maid of honor is at her right Jane Verga while Joan lskyan as the model-bridesmaid is at her left. Aides to the bride at this fashionable wedding are, from left to right, Gerry Minturn, Bette Jean Pickett and Esther Bonordon. Kathleen Mooney starred as Margaret Truman in the Halloween party, and as she leaves the Mansion she is closely guarded by secret service men Mary Troy holding gun, and Flora SanAntonio. Another important day that fall was the one which we proudly displayed our attractive class pins daintly set with pearls and sapphires, and stamped with our beloved G. C. C. The Courtier social whirl became evident with the rustle of taffeta, the whisper of silks and satins, and the veiled voice of marquisette, as we dreamily danced at the Junior Prom and the Senior Ball. These pleasant evenings are now past, but the memories of them we shall always recall. We will always cherish the memory of the inspirational devotions and daily processional during the month of May to the shrine of the Virgin Mary, in Our Lady of Grace grotto. An old tradition, the Sophomore weekend, was reestablished by our class. The event pro- vided the perfect end to a perfect year at Georgian Court as tive hundred guests gathered in the gaily decorated court to enjoy the final event of the year's social calendar. That June had a particular significance for us as moving up exercises meant that our beloved big sisters would be taking leave of us. The memory of all their thoughtfulness to us, their guiding influence made us unabashed to show our tea rs and sorrow at this pa rting, but the memory of their goodness made us set aside these feelings to extend to them best wishes for all the happy years ahead. The Gates Wide Open Stood. After a truly social summer, we entered the portals once more, this time at the mid-point of our matriculation at the Court. Just think, illustrious juniors-practically at the top. Look- ing about us we were sorry to find some familiar faces missing from our class. However, in spite of our diminished number, we looked forward to an exciting year since Lakehouse and King- scote were once again our residence halls.

K2 WT' T' ' T,L. 3j1?.. W 9 . . . we ' V As Freshmen we were duly initiated as Tillie DiStefano and Peggy Rainey show by their garb. A chill crept into the air and winter fell upon this year, the campus turned white under a blanket of snow and the Christmas festivities began. The lighting of a giant Christmas tree beside the portals of the Mansion is traditional. One of our tenderest memories will be that of caroling by candle-light upon the frost-tinged air. How eagerly we anticipated the social events-Junior Prom, Senior Ball, and Sopho- more Hop. These brightened our calendar. There was our fine production for St. Patrick's day-our first attempt and a successful one, as playwrights and producers. Too soon spring came in all its beauty to the campus, May heralded the Musicale and the air became vibrant with music. Then sud- denly the final exams reared their ugly heads and before we were hardly aware our freshman year was becoming a memory. t?E 's-6 All performers take a bow as the Sophomore class entertained the student body at the yearly Halloween party, of which Peggy Rainey was the capable chairman Question not, but live and labour, 'till yon goal be won. September of Sophomore year found us again reassembling at the Court in the shade of the brilliant autumn leaves. We felt at once the void created by the absence of the gradu- ated seniors, and were aware of that inevitable group of bewildered new faces, the freshmen. This time our return was accompanied by a feeling of certainty and stability-a sense of belonging , How happily we recallthe delight- ful experience of being greeted and welcomed back by the faculty and the cherished upper- classmen. lt was our turn to initiate the new Courtiers. How we relished the planning of tasks that would command their respect as we made the freshmen our slaves for a day. But, with compassionate hearts that Halloween eve a group of highly enthusiastic sophomores presented to their victims a refreshingly hilar- ious review. The spring week-end we sponsored as Sophomores was full of good times chiefly due to Elmeda Capoferri, chairman, pictured above in the striped dress at the left. In the center is Helen Hetherington and next to her .is Patricia Zimmer. Standing at the left are Mr. and Mrs. Michael J. O Neil.

When good friends get together . . . at the Senior Christmas party in the Mansion there was singing and entertaining of the special guests Sister Marie Anna, president of the college, Sister Mary Giovanni, dean and the two Mansion hall deans Sister Mary Joseph and Sister Mary Teresita. lent guidance of our big sisters now took upon ourselves the task of offering help and counsel to the new Freshmen. May the four years of our little sisters be as happy as those of their big sisters. The long anticipated event of this year took place when Sister Concepta placed on our fingers that cherished symbol of our Alma Mater, our treasured class ring which every Georgian Court graduate wears with pride. As we turn back the pages of time to the many memorable occasions of this year, thoughts of our proms dance through our minds, the restlessness and excitement that ran through the school, the whispers and mur- murings and last minute preparations, all of which added to the keen sense of anticipation for the Senior Prom and the Sophomore Hop. With keener joy we welcomed i948 and the class presidential election. There was just elation for, from the graduating class of i949 our admirable Patricia Meehan was chosen to lead both her class and her college in our graduating year. As we closed the final door to our junior year at Georgian Court we realized that but once more would we enjoy underclass frivolity and that would be coupled with senior dignity, in the last precious year of our college life. 4.53 The celebration of our last Christmas at the Court was climaxed by a party given at the Campus Club by our president, Sister Marie Anna, and our Dean, Sister M. Giovanni. Pat Meehan and Peggy McCarty smile their appreciation to the Sisters for the entire class. We were seniors-we had at last reached that high estate and could now enjoy their privileges. What we once had thought of as a wistful ,search for the unattainable was now ours. Our endless striving to make this year the best year of our college life was not in vain. Once again the members of the Tau Kappa Alpha dusted off both their rostrum and their oratorical prowess early in October and set out to make i949 a paramount year. The Courtier also faced a great task-the task of upholding the brilliant past records of former Courtier staffs in turning out a noteworthy publication. The Court Page also did much to keep the stu- dent body organized and to inspire school spirit. Our school paper received an eager re- ception because of its accurate news items and entertaining humor and its chronical of life at the court. October heralded the first social event, the annual Card Party. Our booth, an autumn fantasy, received many favorable comments because of its attractiveness.
