Rosary College - Yearbook (River Forest, IL)

JUNIOR YEAR From the first hectic days of definitely deciding on a major and getting to know our major professors, to the hilarious May elections for Student Government, it was a year that will go down in history. The end of first semester brought the familiar sigh, Well, we made it THIS far , and almost every head was suffering from that well-known malady, upperclassman swell. We will always remember all the things that happened in 1949 and '50, but a few occasions will glow a little more brightly in our memories. For instance, who could ever forget one of our nicest dances, that fantasy in pink, the Junior Prom? Or, the first time the juniors got a chance to talk back to the seniors at the Junior-Senior luncheon? We laughed at the idea of having the French Club sponsor, of all things, the Saint Patrick Day dance, but what a dance it v as, complete with Irish Jigs, snake dances and a Blarney Stone! The Grex play, TROJAN WOMEN had us all on the edge of our seats, watching our own Winnie Maher play a very difficult role. There were a few empty places which had been formerly occupied by those lucky girls who spent their junior year at Rosary's foreign-study branch in Fribourg, Switzer- land. We didn't have the Alps, but we had a sight as impressive in the traditional and beautiful Candle and Rose ceremony, an appropriate ending to a Golden Year.
