n THE CLASS OF1936 To Good Counsel's chain of good will and love the Sophomores humbly offer their link that t.hey may be united with the former students of the Sisters of the Divine Compassion. Good Counsel is now home to us. A year ago the greetings of gentle Sisters bade us welcome and the spirit of love so prevalent among Good Counsel's stately halls seemingly reechoed the same Words throughout the year. Bonds of friendship have united us as closely to the traditions of our college as is the delicately tinted ivy which wreathes its green mantling over the pillars and walls of the buildings on the Campus. Truly, through the guidance of our teachers, the Sisters, who so patient- ly guided our timid steps through our Freshman year, we have become thy faithful daughters forever, O blue-mantled Lady of Good Counsel. Thus the Class of '36 has come back in that brilliant latter part of September when the glory of luminous blue in the heavens and the splendors of bronze, crimson, and purple in the autumnal foliage wrap the Campus in colorful ecstasy. We were very happy as we knelt before the altar of God on the first day of the new school year and felt certain of the Master's loving glance and approval. The long year of the Freshman approbation is over and the Class of '36 finds in the Sophomore year of its college career, its mental and moral possibilities just blooming and coming to first fruits. Investiture took place early in the year and We were filled with joy to have our tassels turned to the Sophomore side of our academic caps. For the second time, too, we were privileged to hear His Excellency, Bishop James E. Kearney, give an inspiring address at this momentous event. Under the leadership of our class officers, namely, Florence Jones, president, Anne Lawlor, Counsel Representative, Mary Ford, secretary, Jane Hughes, treasurerg and Florence Doyle, second vice-president, we have continued to be an active class. An old-fashioned barn dance given on October thirty-first for the Missions proved to be a remarkable success, financially and socially. Our versatality is shown by the outstanding number of Sophomores who have lent their musical talents to the Glee Club, and Orchestra. Truly the Goddess of Music must have a special interest in the Sophomores for again their talents have been combined to further the success of the Orchestra. Members of our class rivaled even upperclassmen by their oratori- cal abilities in the Preston Debating Society. Marie Eckert, a Sophomore, was one of the three speakers representing our college in the debate in which we were victorious between Good Counsel and the College of Mt. St. Vincent. In the scientific field the interest and ability of the Sophomores have helped to develop the newly-formed Science Club which has as its president one of our number. Florence Doyle. Then too, may I mention the Sophomore representation on the Prestonian staff? Our class was well represented on the various committees '79 VESTIGIA 1934
