These halls were strange, not only to us, but also to the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who had just arrived in Miami, from West- chester, Pennsylvania. Though the first few weeks were filled with confusion and disorder, we and the sisters eventually became adjusted to the new rules and regula- tions. We proved that being the low group on the totem pole didn't mean we were the low group on the talent pole. On December 11th, the circus rolled into NDA with the Sophomore talent show. The acts ranged from a skating performance to songs, dances, and comedy. Never did we imagine the days of Christ so vividly until we attended the Academy Award winning motion picture Ben Huru. The scenes and plot were so intricate that it held our interest to the very end. The day was a change from the usual, but it was extremely interesting. Seen by many of us for the first time was the reception of the postulants into the order of the Sisters of St. Joseph. We witnessed a beautiful sight as the postulants walked towards the altar in their white gowns to become the servants of God . We became acquainted with the marvels of the under- water world on our field trip to the Miami seaquarium. Sr. Marie Hostia, Sr. Cyrenia Marie, and Sr. Theresa Alma accompanied by Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Wiegmann -Zwere our chaperones for the day. All brought their lunches ibiand a grand picnic was had. ,i-1 The month of April reminds us of carnival time. Under the guidance of Sr. Marie Hostia, and with the generous help of Mrs. Mosca, a spaghetti dinner was enjoyed by all who attended. After dinner, many participated in the games of chance at booths, and later on in the evening a raffle was held. Field day came and went and with it we, the sopho- mores, defeated the juniors at baseball and won the hoola-hoop contest. At show time we put on a spectacular display of calisthenics. In December a Forensic Program was started by Sr. Marie Hostia, As a product of their industry during the year the members of the league were able to participate in the nation-wide contest which was held in New York City. We are very proud of our classmate, Jane Nilon, for her outstanding ability in debating. As a last activity in our sophomore year we gave the graduating class of '60 the traditional Mother-daughter tea. 56 IUNIOR YEAR Returning to Notre Dame as juniors we found that new changes had taken place, such as the addition of freshman class, and the new uniforms.
