This serves as a get-acquainted party for everyone. Then follows the first formal event of the season-the senior prom, This year the Seniors went all out for victoryw even in their social affairs. Victory marked every detail of the ball, from the patriotic decorations and programs, to the purchasing of War Bonds with the proceeds. The gala evening came to a close as the couples stood at attention saluting the flag. In spite of the lack of man powerf, the girls still held informal tea dances in the gym, where they enjoyed the music of their favorite band leaders coming from the juke box. As a perfect happy ending to our year at Seton, the juniors held their Moonlight Mood. At this prom Carroll Little was crowned queen by Therese Kelley, president of the junior class. The queen, seated on her throne in the moonf' and surrounded by her ladies of the court, Mary Lee Dinsmore, Mary Long, Anne Bennis, Marjorie Welsh, Connie Zocolli, Marie Kish, Hester Fogg, and Anne Mattimore, overlooked the little town of Greensburg silhouetted at the opposite end of the hall. And so our social circle at Seton was complete. 47

Happy expectation . . . the thrill of re- ceiving your favorite flower . . . the cheery departing word from our Angel . . . the haunting strains of the most popular pieces . . . prolonged adieus in the Lounge . . . light snacks and lengthy accounts far into the night . . . dreams of the best dance ever! The Grand Conga Line The Spanish Fiesta, sponsored by the Spanish Club, was the first of its kind on the hill. The decorations were typically '6South of the Borderf' We danced from two until five to the music of many a Rhumba King. As a final Spanish gesture, we joined in a Grand Conga Line. Amidst whirling confetti and multi- colored streamers, ,we were lost in the mock frivolity of Old Spain. Janet Borland, Mary Lee Dinsmore, Ellamae Keck, Mary Long, Peggy Tourtellott 46 SSUEIH

My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. . . . Lulce i - s, , Carroll l ittle lHl EHHISWIHS SlllHY A high point of Christmas festivities at Seton was the presentation of Mystery for Christmasf, a scriptural drama given by the academy Glee Club, in Cecilian Hall, on December 15. This scriptural drama was of the typical medieval type which was produced in the churches during the Middle Ages. Through the dark hall, lighted only by lanterns, came the lowly shepherds to pay homage to the Infant King as the choir sang, People Look East, a carol of the twelfth century. The role of the Madonna was played by Carroll Jean Little, while Petty Tourtellott was the Angel Gabriel who brought the glad tidings to the Virgin. George Karavaggio portrayed the part of Saint Joseph. The mystery play closed with Mary's reciting the MagniFicat', and the singing of a lullaby by the Glee Club. 48
