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.

Eliot in the same sentence and making the relationship sound logical . . . confident that if she leaves Mercy Hall at 8 :59 she can make a 9:00 class in the Study Hall . . . calls home less — and less . . . abandons Dairy Lounge for the Mayflower . . . finally masters art of stretching week ' s allowance to three days . . . avid reader of Time, Life, and comic-strip Peanuts . . . untiring advocate of good time and coffee milk . . . trench coat, small kerchief, sneakers, kneesox — - standard attire ... a nice person to know . . . likes jumpers, Fridays, and Hemingway . . . dislikes bells, onions, and Arthur Godfrey ... a sophomore — a legendary state of mind — a passing glory.
