We took part in the beautiful crib ceremony and later sang carols under the outdoor tree. House parties and club parties found us busy and full of the Christmas spirit. Our eyes lit up as Santa appeared at the Senior Christmas party and we received our beautiful gifts. Finally the night of the banquet arrived and, after much excitement and long waiting, we, dressed in our formals, received our Georgian Court rings. Gaily we showed them to all. How proud we were! We shall never forget December 18 when we awakened the other girls to the strains of “’Tis the Season to be Jolly” at 5:00 a.m. Vacation was here and everyone packed suitcases and traveled homeward for the holidays. The New Year found us busy as we put the last minute touches on our term papers and studied for our finals . . . then mid-semester vacation, pte 2 Pam, Betty, see ee Silent Night Scene I: Shortly after the new semester began and our schedules were or- ganized we received our reports which showed us the fruits of our efforts for the first semester. Soon came time for the Courtier Ball and once again we were swaying to the lilting music of Lester Lanin. Ah, what a gay time we had at the Valentine play and party. March seventeenth is a Great Day for the Irish and the Courtiers fell in the line of march to turn New York City green for a day. “We're really outdoor girls at heart,” say Betty Beam, Ann Tancredi, Anne Maday, and Gloria Callahan. ae 3 —T Juniors sing “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” to their little sisters, 146

Pennants and bedspreads were the conversa- tion of the day as we prepared to spend another year in Lakehouse and Kingscote. As the unpacking was finished we rushed to the Campus Club to meet our little sisters and give a party in their honor. Soon schedules and classes set the pace for a few weeks. Only a short while later, witches and goblins took over at the Masquerade Ball. The dance was a great success. Then we lifted our minds and hearts to God in an inspiring retreat with Father Ansbro. | Scene II: In a few weeks it was card party time and we all worked hard selling candy to our many guests. Friday, November 13, was our night to glide around the floor of the spacious Palm Terrace room in the Roosevelt Hotel to the strains of Lester Lanin’s orchestra. Every- one reluctantly danced to the fading melody of “Good night, Sweet- heart” and our Junior Prom was over. Thanksgiving soon came and we left G.C.C. for a short vacation at home. After the holidays the Court Players presented “Shubert Alley”. It was the finest performance of the season. Next came the Holly Hop where we found ourselves dancing in a winter dreamland.

“Be our guest,” say the Juniors at Lakehouse. Scene II: As the Lenten season came to a close the halls of G.C.C. were empty once again as we left for home and our Easter vacation. Then it was Spring and we were attending Sophomore Weekend. We had a wonderful time at the picnic, formal and tea dance and waved good-bye to our dates after such an enjoyable weekend. On Musicale Sunday we played hostess to our parents and friends and then, as the curtain rose, listened to the melodious strains of music. With the blossoming of the May flowers, our Queen and our Mother was crowed “Queen of the May” by our Sodality prefect in the students’ chapel. Scene III: The days flew by and soon exams were upon us. Before we had time to catch our breath the week had ended and graduation day was here. At the Moving-up exercises our tassels were turned for the last time—we were seniors now. How the years flew by! Graduation exercises brought tears to our eyes as we bade farewell to the last class who knew us as freshmen. Then we packed our trunks and traveled the long journey home until September. Gloria, Rosemarie, Emily and Joan Marie decide it is a beautiful day for a bike ride. Autumn’s colorful setting provides the ideal background for the artist.
