Classes Freshmen tiYour Beanie looks lovelyP tiWhatis your big sister like? itDid you find the lounge? iiWhere can we smoke? These were just a few of the questions asked by the 98 freshmen who en- tered SJC in September of 1959. Neither college life nor the confusion of construction has daunted their enthusiasm and in- terest. There is so much to learn and so much room to grow and grow and grow. Sophomores Sophomores are now a step up the scholastic ladder. All the nursing students have moved to St. Vincent Charity Hospital dormitory. The sophomore education i students have begun observation Visits and a child study. 1 The Christmas play produced and directed by Sopho- mores highlights this busy, crowded year. The most fa- miliar question heard is tiWill we ever be seniors? Juniors Junior year at SJC means class rings, the junior prom, study in major fields. Junior students are going places. Nursing students take clinical experience in various city institutions. The tuberculosis sanitarium, Marymount, Cleveland Clinic are accessible via CTS or a family car.

Senior year is an ad venture. Excitement and anticipation are wrapped up with sorrow over leaving old familiar places and friends for new places in a profession. Weill soon be teachers i and nurses. 61
