SOPHOMORE YEAR The second of our Golden Years seems to us to have been only work, work, and more work. We ambled along without anyone's caring much about us (so we thought). The juniors took care of the freshmen, and the seniors were an entity unto themselves. That left us out in the cold — the unclaimed class of the school. Aside from all of these trials and tribulations we really did have fun, didn't we? When the first big festivities of the year came along we knew exactly what to do. Instead of asking questions we were answering them. Once again Founder's Day started the chain of holidays. This year it was different because we celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of our alma mater on the River Forest campus. The social hall was the scene of a conference on International Understanding through Education. The highlight of this conference was an address by our beloved Cardinal Stritck The days sped by until the time-honored Mardi Gras, the last bright spot before the subdued days of the Lenten season. The light that followed the darkness v as somewhat dimmed by the prospect of losing some of the very good friends we had made in our two years at Rosary. Those of us who remained now found the gigantic task of choosing a major ahead of us. Always to be remembered were the d ays when the future Fribourg girls were rushing off to special classes in French conversation, the weeks of ceaseless drilling as work got underway for the new and better swimming pool and tunnel, and the week- end redecorating the 51 room. Thus, with spots before our eyes we plunged into the whirlpool of final exams which ended the first half of our four Golden Years.
