The sweeping melody of Blue Violins is grace danced to. Zhe play ' s the thing The Modern Dance ■ Club and Chapel Players both put on shows for us this year. In its first recital the Modern Dance group gave a wonderful per- formance, one worthy of Broadway. They proved the ingenuity of the students to interpret and construct intricate dance routines. Chapel Players also entertained us several times during the year — each presentation proving a great cleverness and adaptability of St. Joseph ' s students.

ye Freshmen scan the bulletin board to see in which rooms their classes are being con- ducted. Orientation week is a time of introduc- tion, explanation and assimilation. The new student is made aware of the many varied activities with which she will come into contact in the ensuing four years. The program consists of a well mixed combination of welcoming speeches and descriptions of student government, clubs, plans, organizations and customs. Luncheon and entertainment provide an enjoyable diversion from the inevitable entrance tests. The adoption ceremony and Frosh-Junior Tea conclude the program. At some invisible point the heterogeneous group is replaced by a welding together of its members, from which emerges a new Freshman class. Before the beginning of each semester, the incoming Freshmen are welcomed by their Junior sisters. Orientation and Investiture Each September, Father Grady presents to every Freshman her academic cap which has been blessed at the Investiture Ceremony.
