Secretary MARY FORD .... . Trmyurer HE peace and serenity of a golden bound campus took life one twilight evening three years ago, and enfolded in its comforting arms a happy band of Freshmen. How could we help but open our hearts to Alma Mater when she had sent out as her emissaries, to greet us, the sweet forces of nature, to say nothing of the graciousness of her Faculty and her daughters the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors? During the first two weeks we became acquainted with the upper classmen who were eager to inform us of the traditions of our college. Bright October, while shaking out her golden tresses, brought to us beautiful gifts, retreat and investiture. Hence, our souls, too, were Hlled with the spiritual sweetness which comes from knowing Christ. We were invested by His Excellency, Bishop Kearney, and our hearts were indeed made glad by the fact that at last we truly 'Kbelongedf' Christmas was celebrated with all its mystical glory and joy and glad carols echoed through the halls as the students sat at the Faculty banquet and later prayed at Benediction in the Chapel. Almost immediately we began to participate in extra- curricular activities. Many of us joined the orchestra and glee club, a splendid debate was held between two freshmen teams on May Ninth, and we displayed a marked interest in athletics. Thus ,36 advanced and learned the strength and courage of Our Lady's Gracef' SOPHOMORE YEAR ONDS of friendship and love struck harmonious chords, we followed the melody and in the golden glow of another September, ,36 found itself back within the portals of a patient Alma Mater. New interests and new hopes spread out before us. Early in the year we gave a barn dance for the Missions which we considered a success, both financially and socially. The oratorical ability of the Sophomores was well represented by Marie Eckert who was one of the speakers in the Good Counsel- Mt. St. Vincent debate. We also had a representative on the Preftonian Staff. Our intellectual and spiritual faculties increased, exams came and wentg vacations approached and then faded away. Lent brought its pictures of an agonized Christ and as we knelt in the Chapel beneath the shadow of His Cross and the circle of His Crown of Thorns, '36 blessed its Alma Mater that she had taught us to know our Creator so well. 89 -w X-r 2.
