MAY Deciding to give the team a fling. Prospects were good for a winning season; Those who deny should he shot for treason. A championship ivas in sight But to achieve it ive’d have to fight. The Water Polo team, after practicing all year Had a club that opponents feared; Proved their merits in a doubleheader Winning both, few can do better. They’re our chief hope, goes the story To bring St. Francis athletic glory. April begins with a day for fools As amateur jokers resemble ghouls. It ends around the Easter feast, A day bringing people spiritual peace. My editor says to end this stint “Dull, hey uli, we’ze goin tuh print.” So from now on we project the future, We’ll sew it up—a pen is my suture April sees more frat dogging As pledges go for mental flogging. Each of the groups tries its best Attempting to outdo the rest. One group of course will be the winner— The one whose dogs end up the thinner. Spring intramurals came at hand So raise the flag and beat the band. Our outdoor arena is somewhere to star Instead of a place to park your car. With dogs and athletes running round You can’t be sure your health is sound; So join a team or join a frat Whichever pleases—but get in the act. If you join a team it can be said You get your credit for Health Ed. May is the month of final tests And on their results our fate rests. Baseball and Water Polo end for the year, Something that causes very few tears. Because this month is projection Here are some athletic selections. Both the teams went undefeated! Stand up and cheer, don’t stay seated. If you think that’s going a bit too far How about every player making all star? The graduate records prove a pain As most seniors think them insane. They’re a necessary evil for recognition— This is what comes of position. May’s the last month we report on Though to June we’ve given thought on. The prom and picnic are main events. BROTHER ROGER, O.S.F. Treasurer—Business Manager Thank heaven they don’t come in Lent; Not that anything wrong occurs But such goings on might be thought slurs. Another event affecting our fate Is when the seniors graduate. We’re the last to leave Butler Street, We’ll miss the walk from tradition’s seat. As old Saint Francis fades into the sun, Thanks for the learning and thank s for the fun. Thanks to the teachers who gave us knowledge— Well lose a lot when we leave this college. 13

cademic J±i xperimentations and alterations characterized the curriculum as St. Francis felt the pull of growing pains more keenly than ever. Enrollment statistics soared high over the thou¬ sand mark. To meet these new demands the English Department evolved new approaches to composi¬ tion and research through interview systems and photographic slides; the Humanities Department intensified its use of Metropolitan facilities to com¬ plement its work in the classroom; the Social Studies Department pre¬ sented a star-studded array of guest lecturers; and the Department of Science and Mathematics revised course content in several directions.
