Beware of wishing too hard, freshmen! These seniors examine their graduation finery with anticipation and yet with a bit of nostalgia. Varied though their dreams may be, lmmaculata binds their memories. The music and literary tal- ents of the Senior Class ponder the effectiveness of a tune for Senior Sing. These songs must differ and yet characterize each member of the faculty. Also included in the task is an adequate serenade to all underclassmen. v i-i--. , T S tiigj rs. 4' .9 Q., The mem'ry ofthe PHST will stay and half our JOYS renew. A TRADiTioN sHoui.o seizve to symbolize the ideas and wishes of those enacting the activity or ceremony. However, as everything else, a tradition has a past and a future-and the spirit of the past and the future. While each tradition should be one of permanence, it is also endlessly changing, as are the aims of the participants. Abounding in leadership and artistic qualities, the Class of 'oi has endeavored always to distinguish it- self among other classes. During Senior Year espe- cially, these efforts have been strengthened by the faithfulness to established traditions. ln the process of moving toward the future, it is good to reflect on past events. Here traditions become gratifying memories. Senior Prom and its prepara- tions, Tree Planting, Senior Carols, Senior Sing, and at last approaching Garduation have filled hours of happiness for the Class of '61, while adding one more touch of greatness to activities they love to recall.

THE DESIRE TO EXCEL is a quality too rarely found amid the medi- ocrity and conformity of modern society. Yet, it should be the goal of every student, a goal which lmmaculata strives to moti- vate through varied academic and extra-curricular programs. This search for excellence expresses itself through the assumption of responsibility tovvard oneself and society. This is the key to all phases of student life because it is the necessary factor for spir- itual, academic, and social success. The present members of na- tional and campus Honor Societies carefully and effectively util- ized the available opportunities in their pursuit of excellence. They accepted responsibility in order to reach the desired goals. This attitude, instilled in every student, becomes the indispensable guide throughout life's iourney toward the Ultimate Goal. s i Lambda Iota Tau members, Mary Beth Glaser, Mary Shaffer, Catherine Dolan, Patricia Halligan, and Mary Kay Montague, listen vvith interest to Marlene Cotsack's literary paper, one of the requirements for membership in the National Honorary English and Foreign Literature Society.
