ROSART COLLEGE HYPHEN 1978 I Dedicated To Sr. Thomasine Cusack, O.P. Professor Emeritus Economics Don't Worry Friend. Everything Will Turn Out For The Best. I'll Pray For You Today. 1905-1978 I was lead into a small lounge area and the guide said: This is a hyphen; it connects Power and Coughlin Halls. Hyphen? I thought. What a silly name for a lounge! Midway into Freshman year, having studied there after parietals every night it came to me . Like a hyphen connects two words , the lounge joins the two halls . Sometime Senior year I realized 1 would soon graduate into the real world. It didn't take long to conclude that Rosary itself is a hyphen con- necting adolescence and adulthood. V V w rosary college (ro z9 ri kol ij),n, 1. a small co-ed, lib- eral arts college located in River Forest, Illinois. 2. a short time connecting two worlds .

Eric and Terry set the Beer Blast to music. Another disco success! Juniors and seniors waited all year for their prized event and celebrated by in- dulging in cold foamy beer. Under- classmen were allowed into the Beer Blast after the skits for a small price. This was a slight break in tradition which many believed was for the better . Junior-Senior Beer Blast CANDLE AND ROSE Candle and Rose celebrated her fiftieth anniversary on May 5, 1978. Unfortunately, it was the first year of rain out of fifty and the ceremony had to be conducted in the auditorium. Student speakers that evening were Joan Cusack for the Fine Arts , Tekki Lomnicki for the Humanities , Diana LaBianco for the Languages , Lynn Geraci for the Natural Sciences, and Jeanne Ortega for the Social Sciences. What 1 Did For Love was sung by Anna Maria La Sorella, and Diane Hrachovec sang Candle on the Water . They were accompanied by Bill Dicker . 94 Candle and Rose ril be your candle on the water My love for you will always burn I know you're lost and drifting But the clouds are lifting Don't give up You have somewhere to turn I'll be your candle on the water Till every wave is warm and bright My soul is there beside you Let this candle guide you Soon you'll see a golden stream of light A bold and restless tide has found you Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down I'll paint a ray of hope around you Circling in the air Lighted by a prayer I'll be your candle on the water This ray inside of me will grow Keep holding on you'll make it Here's my hand so take it Look for me reaching out to show As sure as rivers flow I'll never let you go I'll never let you go I'll never let you go 96 Commencement ALMA MATER, ROSARY Rosary all praise to you.
