CHAMPAGNE PARTY

Page 22 text:

JUNIOR SENIOR The Junior-Senior Champagne Party has been a tradition at Regis for many years, and it holds a special significance for the two parties involved. It is the passing of the torch of wisdom and re- sponsibility from the seniors to the ju- niors. That evening in early May is when the senior class relinquishes its throne to the Junior class: the seniors are going out into the world to make their mark and leave the juniors the task of filling their sometimes enor- mous shoes. With all the respect due the seniors, the juniors fill their glasses with cham- pagne and good wishes. The seniors give each junior a gift to remember them by; the plant I received as a junior grows on my windowsill still. It often reminds me of the responsibilities that were entrusted to me: the duty to set a good example and to help and befriend those who aren’t as fortunate as the seniors in their times of trial and tri- umph. It is also a constant reminder of the friendships formed with some of those seniors and of that elegant even- ing in the foyer when by their actions they said: “We entrust you with this College and all that it symbolizes, which we hold dear to our hearts; cherish it and proudly pass it on, as we have to you.” by Kathleen Brooks

I Mother -Daughter Dinner The 1984 Mother Daughter ban- quet was held at the Sheraton Tara in Braintree. In the gayla Gold Room, moms and daughters chatted of life, loves and friends. Funny memories of times shared with friends from college made many moms lift an eyebrow in questioning surprise at the story teller. Mischievous tales were suddenly forgotten, however, when Russ Bur- gess took the stage. The room was quiet as he hypnotized willing stu- dents who followed his instructions with truly individual antics. The night came to a close much too quickly as friends parted, but moms and daughters drove home feeling a closeness between them. by Kathleen Brooks 18
