Immaculata Da A first and a heart-warming one at that, Immaculata Day managed to shat- ter all the connotations of the word initi- ation. The upperclassmen, fun-loving enough to laugh with the freshmen, but Immaculatan enough not to laugh at them, portrayed the freshmen themselves in the roles of Charlie Brown and his gang. The freshmen laughed the heartiest as Charlie Brown delivered such lines as Homework is the crabgrass on the lawn of life!
