Kathryn Mahoney THE FOUNDATION Our arrival at Rosary and the months to follow were a period of pre- paredness for the intellectual and spiritual building of our minds and bodies which was to continue during our college years. We came as strangers to a strange place, but w ith the help of our advisers, our Bit; Sisters, and the friend- ly uppcrclassmen. the ground was broken and we soon became a part of our pleasant surroundings. As the days passed, we realized the purpose of our being here, and set out to accomplish our goal. To make a foundation, masons and builders add stone to steel and use rivets anil mortar to keep them in place: so. too, the sisters and priests added knowledge, appreciation of beauty, and culture to our crowing minds with the mortar of religion to secure them in their rightful places. Thus, the founda- tion crew and took shape and gradually we began to rea lize the crear im- portance of our education. Yet it was the little things that made the difference in our attitude toward Rosary, that gave us that all-important feeling of belonging. Founder's Day introduced us to Father Matthew Kellev. and the Charity Rail brought us together in the Social Hall for the first time. Came December, and we found ourselves at the annual All-School Christmas Party with some of our classmates taking part in the entertainment. Soon after vacation we were faced with our first siecc of final exams, but gained rest for our weary minds during the retreat that followed. Before we knew it. the Mardi (iras celebra- tion was hailing the arrival of Lent. During that time we prepared our fabulous Freshman Variety Show, and its creat success made all our work seem worthwhile Then came spring and our fust College Day — we had Mass in the Quadrangle; then followed picnic lunches, baseball, tennis and just about every other sport our hearts desired. With beautiful weather as our only consolation, we studied for final exams which finished our freshman year. Yes, we could hardly believe that the year was over, that we had completed the foundation and were on our way towards building a future. tfjfrditeck . . . t Dear Seniors: Memories ire two-faced things; you can use them well or badly. If you use this memory hook only to re- live votir Rosary days, you will use it badly; you will live in a dream world and become that unnatural creature — a perennial collegian. However, if you use your Rosary memories to guide and inspire you in living in a world of reality, then you will use your memories well. And Rosary has implanted in you pood memories — good ideals, good principles — which tan =crve you well in living in a real world — as children nj Gnd. With God s grace, you will use your memories well May God bless all of you — always. Sincerely in St. Dominic, J T O Connfli . O P. Dear Seniors: Association with you has hcen one of the joys pro- vided by a kind Providence. The fine spirit that has never failed to animate your class, your zeal for the glory of God and the best interests of Rosary College, and your generous and efficient support of faculty and student pro jects have endeared you to all of us. Because you accepted the purpose of Rosary College and cooperated in its fulfillment in your lives, we feel confident that you know and will ever keep in mind your obligations to God and your neighbor. As faithful daugh- ters of the Mother of God and Queen of your college, you will carry to the world a message of courage, loxc. and trust. May Our Lady of the Rosary obtain for you from her divine Son His choitcst blessings during the years to come Devotedly yours. SlSTF.R M- TlMOTUI A. O P Dear Seniors: You have asked for a message that you may carry away with you. It is important that you leave Rosary with a con- viction of your power as women in the modern world. To use this power effectively you must have courage to lead dedicated lives wherever you may he. It is a trust that you must use to influence the milieu in which you live. This will not always be easy. Our Holy Father has said that never in the history of humanity has so much heroism been required of women. Yours is the role of the valiant woman who fears the Lord. Affectionately in Our Lady, SlSTI R M. AllRELlA, O.P. To the Seniors: It is significant that the College acquires this year of your Commencement the beautiful new monstrance in the design of the Mystical Rose. Truly, I think it symbolizes perfectly your four years at Rosary, for you have been a class singularly devoted to the Blessed Sacrament. In the days to come my hope for each of you is that you will be a living Rose of Charity holding in your hearts the Christ Whom you have served so well in your student vocation. It will be His Eucharistic Presence that will keep you one most really — a benediction to your families and to the world. May the Queen of Rosary herself bless you. Sistf.r Marie Stephen, O P. THE SUPERSTRUCTURE Our Sophomore and Junior years at Rosary were very similar. Once the novelty of college life had worn off we settled down to work. To us, things seemed a little routine, and for a while it almost looked as if our diplomas were fantastic dreams. Once in a while we hit pitfalls — we failed an exam, we became ill, or we were just a little lazy. Rut in spite of that, our choice of a major field made us realize that our precious years of education were nearing completion all too soon. We had our days of celebration too. The Father-Daughter Dinner gave us a chance to show off our favorite beaus and let them meet our instructors. Then, once again came the Charity Ball, the Christmas Party and vacation, Mardi Gras, College Day and the big Election Rally. We put on our Sunday best to escort our mothers to the Mother-Daughter Tea, and donned our prettiest gowns for our own Junior Prom. In our calmer and more thoughtful moments, we had Retreat and Candle and Rose ceremonies. Each occasion added something to our college life. Yes, these were the significant years. A building is nothing without sturdy- walls, solid floors, and a firm roof. These are the necessary parts, for without them it is not a building at all. On the first crude stones and girders of culture were laid appreciation; to this was added more exact and vital knowledge to fortify our intelligence, and over us we strove to build a roof of integrity and charity. We still lacked the finishing touches, but the really painful work seemed behind us. And so, it was with a feeling of joy that we reached our senior year. It (jmifiackfis . . . THE COMPLETION It was hard to believe at first, but when we stopped to realize that this was to be the last year of our formal education, it made this year different from all the others. It could have been the excitement, it could have been the thought of achievement, or it could even have been the realization of our fondest dreams; but we had to admit, perhaps with a note of sadness, that our senior year went by too quickly. On Founder's Day we donned our caps and gowns for the first time and officially carried on the Rosary tradition of opening the Senior Walk. Soon we were posing for our graduation pictures, and all agreed that the proofs were classics. Throughout the year, we were entertained by the Senior project plays, and, as always, the future schoolmarms did their practice teaching and acquired many friends in the primary grades. It seemed to us then, that the essential parts of our education had been fulfilled. We felt poised and finished. Perhaps we lacked the fine polish of experience, but we shone with a bright- ness of new paint. We hoped that time would give us the beauty that is inherent in every antique, but we felt assured that we were prepared for what time had to offer. With a final check to see that all was as it should have been, we took our comprehensive examinations. After that came College Day with the Senior- Faculty Dinner, The Junior-Senior Luncheon, our Day of Recollection, May Crowning, the Senior Dinner Dance, and Baccalaureate Sunday. The Candle and Rose ceremony brought the year to its completion, and finished our days at Rosary with a note of solemnity and beauty. Finally it arrived . . . that sad, glad day of Graduation. It had taken four years to make us college women, but we knew that our learning had just begun. We had the rest of our lives to create and to build upon the founda- tion of knowledge, truth, and beauty we had acquired at Rosary. We received our diplomas. We were on our way.

Again I find myself on a threshold with great need of your help, dear Lord. Grant that I may always keep with me the knowledge gleaned from books and faculty and friends these four years. But don't let me stop here — let me see my college days as a key for the great neglected treasure chests of worthwhile facts waiting to be opened. And God, let me sec the universe as the whole that You made it, and the divine blue- print as my teachers have sketched it. Let me see deep into people; let me appreciate the worth and dignity of the individual. Help me to be a good American — but more than that, an active citizen of an ailing world, willing and able to apply the balm of love and brotherhood to the gaping wounds made by prejudice and greed. And God. I know the road ahead is rough. I don't ask that it be made smooth, but God, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, the courage to change things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference!' Amen.
