Across the Campus, lengthening shad- ows stretch — enlivened intermittently by luminous strokes of heavenly light. Regis is at rest; the Parterre is at peace. Tran- quillity descends upon College Hall and reigns undisturbed under the Cross of Christ. Quietly and serenely, with the comforting cloak of darkness gathered around her, Regis waits for the dawn’s grey light — reveling in untold content- ment and secret delight, far from the mad- ding crowd ' s ignoble strife. Bosom of labyrinthine dreams, guardian of nocturnal confidences, Regis settles down for the solitary night with the whispered promise to greet refreshed the blush of the eastern skies, realizing that “God’s in His Heaven, all’s right with the world.”

talog ne lovely things College Hall — Whence Do Ebb the Tides of Knowledge Behind the stately portals of College Hall lie Freshman fears, new friendships, examinations. Sophomore sophism, Junior teas and Promenade, Senior wisdom, hopes, and aspirations. Within are notetaking in class, chatting in banner-bedecked rooms, waltz- ing in the Foyer, research in the Library, exercise in the Gymnasi- um, and prayer in the Chapel. Here, there is comfort for the afflicted, joy for the happy — re- joicing on Founders’ Day, honor for Mary at Sodality Reception, wreaths and holly for the Crib at Christmas, compassion in Lent, triumph at Easter, and joyous leavetaking at Baccalaureate. In May, Our Lady’s Grotto, colored by budding shrubs and new-born blossoms, calls with Nature’s alluring summons, “Bon voyage.’’ Chapel — Sanctuary of Prayer; Birth of Hope
