Fun T he social season opened with a Sodality tea dance on October twentieth. Later in the month we joined the throngs lining each side of the Hudson River to pay tribute to the victorious fleet at the river pageant presented by the City of New York as an expression of thanks to the Navy. Wlxile the sophomores attended the Military Ball, we tended shop at the annual bazaar in November. Judging from the inventory of the table afterwards we realized that our efforts were crowned with success. Later Dorothy Stanton put us among the ini- mortals when her poem, Day's Endfwas selected for inclusion in the Annual Anthology of College Poetry. December was strictly a junior month. It opened with our prom and closed with the College ring ceremony. The prom was held in Preston Hall which was artistically dec- orated with pine branchcs.

January arrived and the imminent threat of examinations was before us, but like all other tests, they, too, passed away. Mrs. Veronica Dengel in her series of lectures aimed to bring about a campaign for self-improvement. The Mission Bridge was held again at the Hotel New Yorker. Clare Bender was chairman of the affair, so we felt it a special feat of our class when the bridge was so successful. Rehearsals for Career Angel and the Clee Club Concert were numerous in early spring. The play was presented on March first. The concert was given at the end of the month at the Hotel Plaza in New York. On the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Philosophy Symposium was held. The topic of discussion was '4The Family . We as participating members of the Aquinas Philosophy Club beamed forth from the front rows at our colleagues who had prepared and deliv- ered important themes on G'The Familyw.
