Traditional Ring Mass Finally the day arrived that the Class of 1984 had been waiting for. The Seniors received their rings on Thursday, May 19, 1983, during a Mass at St. An- drew's Cathedral. Father Francis Malone, the girls' religion teacher in their sophomore year, was the celebrant of the Ring Mass. A small group of Seniors led the rest of the class in singing while two teachers, Sr. Susan Charles Pluff and Mrs. Ellen Glan- cy, played the guitar. Traditional pastel colors worn by the girls were ap- propriate for the warm spr- ing evening. Each girl car- ried one long-stemmed rose into the cathedral as parents and friends watched. After three years of an- ticipation, the moment of of- ficially becoming a Senior had arrived. Each student anxiously waited for her name to be called. She then walked to the altar and had the ring slipped on her finger. Now she was truly a Senior! - Linda Savary Sister Susan Charles Pluff and Ms. Ellen Glancy provide the music to help make Ring Mass special. 10 STUDENT LIFE -nv as '11 Nfl.. 1 Father Francis Malone celebrates his last Ring Mass with the class of 1984
