SENI 12 YEAR Senior year began with our all- important conference with the Dean the day before the rest of the college reported. This was the final mark of superiority. We had reached our goal and our assurance at our last tea proved that we had accomplished what we started out to do. This year began a series of ulastsw to accompany a few more firsts. All of our academic functions were be- ing enjoyed this year for the last time as college life ebbed away. We inaugurated the first Senior- Sophomore dance, but found that we could not compete with a blizzard, our plans were thwarted, but only temporarily. Our vaudeville talents were again summoned up, when we presented the first senior Variety show. And President of the Glee Club, Nelly Garcelon, proved her versatility by leading the choir through their selections and singing her own solo in the meantime. Knee socks were again the rage when the temperature hit all time low points and snow was no longer a thing of the past. For the first time, sleighing parties were organ- ized on different hills surrounding the campus, and one day, the school was completely isolated by the ef- forts of ,lack Frost. The cry became -nTune in WABC to make certain that the college is open because of the arctic weather. We saw our last Christmas party with no little regret because N. D. Christmases with their large, gaily trimmed tree, the red-bowed choir- esters carrying glowing candles, and the informality of the party with the faculty had come to mean so much to us. Individual parties at tables in the ucafn proceeded the main one, and some of us will never forget that cake, baked by Eileen Woodstock, that was held together with tooth- picks.

Preceding the annual Christmas party, a certain Junior gained eter- nal fame with her classic rendition of a song titled G6La Vie En Rosef' The Spring semester proved that this was to be Hour year. We brought back the Father-Daughter dance, initiated a ceremony of pre- sentment of Senior rings, and intro- duced a formal tea and fashion show for our mothers. A torrential downpour greeted the Junior Prom, but even a deluge could not dampen our spirits. Amid a glorious spring garden setting and to the tune of Lester Lanin fAmer- ica's number one college bandJ, the dance was a huge success. Our fame as hostesses rose again after the sumptuous banquet held at the Roof Garden of the Pierre for the outgoing seniors. The signific- ance of our future importance was beginning to grow upon us. This was our final presentation, henceforth, everything would be given to us. We were reaching the top of the ladder, European trips were inaugurated by Ruth Reardon and Ursula Ties- We Mmm, Comin' around the mountain. dell, and in their excitement about sailing uthe wild blue yonder, they had almost every other junior ready to accompany them. Planning to tour the continent, with Father Moody as their guide, they were barely able to check their exuberance. But summer jobs were calling most of us once more, and after that won- derful class day when we took over as the new senior class, We went skip- ping off, our tassels hanging in our eyes at last.
