'Wi' x ,. N5 . ta i X: l 11 Senior officers enjoy a coffee break as president Sharon Morrissey pours for Norma Knipper, vice-president, Kathleen Caffery, treasurer, and Barbara Kopel, secretary, in the luncheonette. Our seniors plunged headlong into their active year with a very inter- esting Orientation Week for freshman newcomers. Mixers, panels, a talent show, and friendly chats constituted a welcome for 1960 freshmen . . . Of special interest to all seniors, resident and day, was the newly purchased Marquette House, overlooking Marquette Street's busy traffic and the Mississippi beyond. Fall brought Homecoming, with the seniors trying to create the usual degree of nostalgia and excitement for the alumnae without a Homecom- ing game and traditional parade. Members of the senior class supervised campus decorations and entertained returning alumnae with a Home- coming tea in the Marycrest student union. Presentation of the Academy Award winning movie 4'0n the Water- front opened a December of Christmas activities. Seniors participated in the choral programs, the daily Advent Wreath ceremony, the Three- School Christmas party at St. Ambrose, and serenaded the underclassmen at the annual dawn Christmas caroling ceremony the morning before vacation. With the holidays behind, activity began on Mardi Gras preparations. Seniors achieved outstanding success in their organization of the Mardi Gras Costume Ball, the Queen Contest, and the senior-written, senior-di- rected Variety Show-all slanted to a magazine theme, Cover Guys 8: Dolls. With spring came the musical Carousel, with many seniors in song and dance numbers, and the Fine Arts Festival with seniors represented in music, drama, art, and home economics. Comprehensives and Grad- uate Records provided a serious note to the spring activities, followed by a lighter vein in the Senior Prom, the Junior-Senior dinner, the Fresh- man-Senior picnic, the week of alumnae rushing, and finally, the me- morable Commencement following the Senior Aloha. 43
