FRESHMEN A freshman is everyone ' s friend . . . capable of dreaming the wildest dreams and yet somehow al ways fulfilling them ... is gaiety and loneliness aptly combined to give depth and sensitivity. She is an unpredictable bundle of joy, always willing to aid even the smallest cause . . . sitting on pins and needles in restless expectation of her first Court Cotillion. Her room is decked with pennants, quaint sayings, pictures, and most of all stuffed animals, which are part and parcel of her being. A freshman is a bursting package of energy on a basket- ball court — and on a date the epitome of femininity . . . loves parties which last until the wee hours of the morning . . . she is an ardent jazz enthusiast and yet, surprisingly, quite highbrow at times. A freshman is sugar and spice and everything nice . . . extremely grateful to her junior sister for making her first year so wonderful. Most of all a freshman is kindness and loveliness . . . accepting and believing without question things which sometimes seem out of her grasp . . . envelop- ing everyone she meets in her warm smile and sincere friendliness. Tuesdays and Thursdays at eleven the freshmen gather in Room A for Father Shea ' s course in Theology. Everyone is intent upon learning religious theories, the many and varied causes which affect everything that exists, and the principles behind self-evident truths. No week would be complete without this class. Discussing plans for the next meet- ing are the class officers: Merle Byrne, treasurer; Anne Carpenter, secretary; Marie Lazlo, student representative; Maureen McCabe, vice president; and Pat Kelly, president.

Mirrored Momentarily 1 HE TEN OF bell rings, books and papers are gathered up, the chatter of voices is heard, and the exit from classes begins. Soon the girls appear mirrored momentarily on the staircase — some are on their way to the lounge, the coke machine, or the ice cream bar, while others have to dash over to Mercy Hall for a lab class. Maybe the mail ' s arrived means a non-stop flight to letter boxes. The ten-minute break is a time to enjoy the exchange of news, have a quick game of ping pong, or just relax.

Mail call always brings many girls together. While Anne Motte reads her letter, Patty Woods, Aggie Givern, Jane Integlia, and Joyce Santucci examine Jan Chartier ' s weekly package of goodies. Daily in the cafeteria everyone congregates to have lunch and to exchange interesting bits of information. Seated here are Gail Douglas, Ann Bryan, Eve Davoren, Dee Petrarca, Nancy McGeough, Shiela Murphy, and Dottie James.
