“Let’s not be late for class!” “Ihe Old Year and the New After a long restful vacation we all found it quite difficult to settle down to books in preparation for the coming exams. Philosophy books were much in evidence along with language grammars and other volumes. Within a short time the exams had come and gone and we were ready to begin anew. As second semester began, plans for the Senior Prom were realized. It was really fun! Soon our feel- ing of eagerness to receive our class pins was at last satisfied. On this occasion we felt just so much more united to our Alma Mater. Blevsing the Shamrock March seventeenth, St. Patrick’s Day, brought many of us to New York to join the other colleges in the parade. Classes whizzed by, the Sopohomore Hop was just around the corner. The whole class was bustling about and all sorts of preparations were under way. Before we could catch our breaths the whole week-end was over and we could recall it only as a wonderful memory. Now that Musicale time was drawing near there was constant preparation on the part of the music students. After the performance was over we all realized that our hard work had really been worthwhile. Ballad of the End of Way Since the Marian Year was the highlight of 1954, the May Crowning held a special place in our hearts as we celebrated Mary’s month. During the Crowning we prayed for her blessing on all our campus activities. Senior week was soon upon us and with it came our exams and the conclusion of our second semester. The Senior Banquet and Class Night were quickly over and before we knew it we were at moving up exercises. These were our last few hours with our big sisters and we now in turn took over their job—big sisters to the future freshmen. That afternoon graduation saw us off again on summer vacation. Staél is ready for a week-end in New York. Gloria, Mary and Ellen smile despite the weight of their textbooks. Ellie and Pat are snapped as they come through the formal gardens. 151

Whistle While You Work The spirit of Hallowe’en and its costumes will never be forgotten. The “wise fools” were seen in a variety of disguises at the masquerade dance. Jackie McGinn, as the headless Marie Antoinette won the prize for originality. Soon our first project for the year was under way. As the card party approached we arranged our booth to resem- ble a large windmill. We sold chances during the card party and enjoyed the latest styles in the fashion show. Then we settled down to our books in earnest. The Lette Vhings With November well on its way, the girls eagerly awaited the nearing vacation. Chatter concerning holiday plans was the leading topic. All of us were looking forward to turkey dinner at home. The Holly Hop encouraged our Christmas spirit. As school days dimin- ished, merriment became more evident. Carolling, the exchange of gifts with our big sisters, the Senior play, the club and house parties, all made the last few days of school quite merry. During the Christmas vacation, many of us attended the Mission Ball in New York. Bernie, Carolyn and Teresa stop to look at one of the signs identifying the trees with their Latin names. It might as well be spring!
