Yuletide traditions: caroling around the Man- sion tree glittering with colored lights, then going from hall to hall singing and wishing our Merry Christmas to the jubilant under- classmen. Then came the enjoyment of a Christmas treat at the Campus Club with our president, Sister Marie Anna and our dean, Sister Mary Giovanni, as hostesses. The inspiring retreat of Monsignor Leslie Barnes lifted our hearts above the every day affairs of campus life and moved us to be more appreciative of the spiritual and theworthwhile. Class Night was a night of memories as we endeavored to gather a few poignant fragments of the past four years, a night of culling new ones as we proudly, yet sadly, took our places I :,, l M C ,gi Seniors led by class president, Peggy McCarty and escorted by their little sisters proceed to the stage on Class Night . . . and the last night at the Court. on the garlanded stage, where we paid grateful tribute to our faculty, our loving parents, our dear classmates, and closed the curtain on our days as students of Georgian Court College. With heads held high--and hearts aching with suppressed feelings we marched for the last time to the strains of Pomp and Circum- stance to receive our diplomas. Possessed of these credentials, we suddenly realized our grave responsibility and the debt of gratitude we owed to our dear parents, mothers and fathers who had given us so much, who now shared our pride and happiness, our tears and hopes. Regretfully with all these memories in our hearts we take leave of our Alma Mater. May you ever find within these pages a treasury of memory. ii As the class officers plant the traditional ivy, the final hour becomes more real. Seniors acted as hostesses at the faculty tea given by Sister Marie Anna, president of the college.

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.
