Days Beyond Recall The freshman class of 195 6, dressed in school jackets and blue veils, are seen leaving the grounds at Moore Hall after the celebration of outdoor benediction in honor of the Feast of Christ the King. Another memory especially dear to our hearts is the ceremony of investiture. That day, as freshmen, we received our caps and gowns. The Newport day-hops proudly display a symbol of college life.
