At the right, Beth Brannan, Barb Wysocki and Charlie Mitchell cram before a final exam. Although the social room is for most of the year a place 'for relaxation, it becomes, when se- mester exams draw near, the center for dis- cussion of history, Zoology, mathematics and other test topics. ig. STUDY CAN BE PRETTY FATIGUING ln our classes we were taught by instructors with patience and under- standing. The past--through history, literature and the fine arts, the pre- sent--through courses in vocations and government, and the future-- through the mysterious field of sci- ence, challenging theorems of mathematics, and the abstract qualities of modern art. Our learning is climaxed by final exams, which bring on sleepless nights and weary days, long hours of preparation and study . . . and fatigue, which made possible the picture on this page. SNOW ENHANCES L.P.O. 'S BEAUTY ,, THE SOUTH ENTRANCE I- : fiffff X I THE BOYS' GYM THE WEST WING AGAINST A BACKDROP OF INDUSTRY THE QUADRANGLE OF THE MAIN BUILDING . Ezesfzmzfwz This year's Freshman Class officers are: Presi- dent, Dave Hundtg secretary-treasurer, Mary Alice Quick, vice-president, Brian Leach. A great metamorphosis has come about in our lives in that short year since we graduated from high school. We have again been transformed into that strange breed of student who is traditionally the butt of all jokes, the green Freshie. But some- how, this time it is different. Perhaps we have reached that point from which we can never return to those carefree days of adolescence. For most of us, our first year in college has been an enjoyable, though sometimes trying, experience. During this past year, in which time has flown past so quickly, we have become acquainted with the many joys and the more prevalent responsibilities of college life. ln learning its S.O.P. 's, we have also learned something of much greater value, the art of standing on our own two feet. Even those students who became the dropouts perhaps have benefited from their brief experience in college. Biding their time here, they may have discovered what place life holds for them. For the rest of us, the sometimes heartbreaking toil of the next three years awaits us. For most, this will doubtless be followed by aworld alive with countless rewards and innumerable opportunities. But in order to take advantage of those opportunities, we must learn more in college than merely sets of facts. We must learn how to work, for only through diligent labor can we take advantage of those opportunities . Students who have already realized that work is required have achieved a good deal of success during their first in college and will probably continue in this success through the duration of their college years . We look to the future. What's everyone so happy about? Diane Sobkowiak, Marilyn Olszewski, and Kathy Parat are just a little over-exuberant about Christmas vacation. 8 173 ,l XE? l'?

Because of the good publicity given the dance a large turnout of both students and alumni was found at the Pow-wow. PREPARATION AND FINALE The Homecoming Dance this year was called the Apache Pow- wow and was sponsored by the officers of both classes and the Student Council. The dance dec- orations followed an Indian motif with a large tepee dominating the scene. The festivities began at 8 p. m. with a program in the auditorium followed by the dance in the boys' gym. The highlight of the dance came when Mary Beth was crowned Pow- wow Princess by the student coun- cil president Louis Assalley. Phil Blott, Ann Heilstedt, Peggy Miller, Ken Long, Jeanne Hos- cheit, and Jim Mindock discuss the rigorous life of living in a tzepee. Bob Peterson, Ardene Bonucchi, Bob Mente and Bonnie Pini take a breather in front of one of the many corn shocks that decorated the sides of the boys' gym at the Homecoming Dance. 26 COLLEGIATE CHORALE COMPLETES BUSY YEAR ix, Mr. Robert D.

The Library contains 21,000 volumes and receives by subscription 165 periodicals including five daily papers, indexes, and microfilm. College students find, also, that the Library gives them a pleasant as well as an artistic atmosphere for study. Three original oil paintings dating from the Fifteenth and Seventeenth centuries hang on the walls. An original medieval illuminated antiphonary hand-wrought on vellum, and several marble and oil reproductions are among the art treasures on permanent display in the Library. In the background may be seen The Easter Sacrifice, one of the original oils, by Francesco Solemina, 1657- 1747, Italian painter. The Library has an outstanding reference collection which by frequent acquisitions is kept current and complete. Encyclopedias and dictionaries, both general and special, yearbooks, indexes, and government documents are among the materials which make up the reference department. CENTER FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY N ., ' V1 v is A , .3 ,.., . 4 Wm? ,.,..Q .ng Morning hours in the Library catch students in various moods: some face the day with books and determinationg others find early-hour concentration difficult if not impossible. Here the students are shown at 8 a.m., a brief half hour after the Library opens. The Card catalog is the guide to the Library collections. All books and bound periodicals are cataloged under author, subject, and title. Many volumes, such as short stories and collected biographies, are analyzed according to their contents. College students become familiar with the Dewey Decimal classification and with the Libraxy's open-shelf arrangement. Pamphlets, including government documents, university catalogs, and guidance materials are not cataloged but are placed alphabetically by subject in vertical files.
