VESTIC-IA1934 THE CLASS OF 1935 While the first wonder of walking across the pine-shaded Campus and entering the college classes was still upon us, Time with its swift tread came silently, and with a speed that was appalling, it stole the years. So quickly they went that their passing was not noticed until on one morning when the smoky smell of autumn leaves filled the air, and the sun was golden on a dying summer, we stood in the auditorium for Investiture. We were made Juniors. As upperclassmen we knew for the first time the full delight of college life with its responsibilities as well as its pleasures. The managing and directing of our college paper, the Prestonian, was put into our hands and we did the best that was in our power to make it worthy of the college and of the students it represents. It was our class that introduced the Press Club which was named The Scribes. It was formed for the purpose of writing the news for the Prestonian. And for the club we were given a special room which we called the Press room, where the reporters and ofHcers wrote their articles and held their meetings. But literature alone did not have all our attention. Every other field of activity was patronized by the class of nineteen thirty-five. In the drama the Juniors were well represented as they had been since the first year when they performed as Fresh- men. Chief among the plays was the annual Lenten production which this year was Follow Thou Me. In this historical portrayal of the life of the Ancient Romans, the ability of an actress was tried to the utmost. Yet each girl played her role well. In the field of art some of our members showed fine talent, and it was two posters drawn and painted by Juniors that were exhibited on Good Counsel Day at the Mission Exposition. . Perhaps the most popular work in the class was that of Catholic Action. The cause of the missionary was taken up enthusiastically by all members, and those talented for public speaking gave of their time and ability to make trips to many of the schools of the New York Diocese to lecture on the Missions. Another group of girls, interested in child Welfare, became leaders of girl scout troops. The spiritual works of mercy were not neglected, for a group of Juniors taught religion to the week-day classes of children from the public schools. One of our members, Marjorie Ashley, won honors for herself and for the class in debating. For two years she has been one of the most prominent participants in our intercollegiate debates. And this year her speech on the N.R.A. in the tri-college symposium with the colleges of Mt. St. Vincent and New Rochelle won much applause. Many other activities of the college have representatives from our class. The Glee Club, Athletics, Languages, History, all that is conducive to greater culture and higher ideals. '75

And now the sun of this our third year at Good Counsel is setting. In the twilight hour when a blue mist envelopes us and that peace and contentment so familiar to those who reside here settles upon us, we gaze through the pines that have watched the progress of so many of our predecessors and we are filled with an odd mixture of emotions. There is a world awaiting us. A world of adventure, excitement, perhaps success, perhaps failure. It is a world of chance and of trial, and we want to enter it -to try our skill, to live as we were taught, in the shadow of these walls. Yet our hearts cry There is but one year lefty,-one year, so short, so sweet, only one year, in which we must crowd the wonders, the teachings, the peace of Good Counsel. -MAHALA SHERMAN OFFICERS KATHERINE BRENNAN . . .
