' Small but mighty would aptly describe her. As a mainstay of the basketball team she often confounded her opponents with her speed and hook shots, leaving them wondering where she has disappeared to. Her personality has many facetsg she is - quiet and gently reserved, but occasionally, her seemingly shy , manner is pierced and a mischievous Barbara peeks through. f When we hear that light-hearted laughter, we may be sure some clever prank, master-minded by her, has been carried into ex- ecution. Barbara has met all our expectations, for she won our hearts at iirst meeting. E .

Irwin has demonstrated that interior deco- rating is her true vocation in life, for the Prom decorations were truly magnificent. To the amusement of her friends, she often seems to be Boating on Cloud Nine but finds it necessary to descend and dash to George's almost daily for lunch. During the summer she spends most of her time water-skiing at Point Abino and playing tennis at the Canoe Club. Winters Find her at Holiday Valley skiing down the slopes and up the T-bar tow. A welcome asset to any group, Pat's graceful manner and radiant smile have added to our wonderful memories of the Seminary.

Carole Louise Low With the appearance of Carole, life takes on a fourth dimen- sion. All of us are amazed by her originality and unbelievable ability to confuse her friends as well as herself. Carole, our diminuitive entertainer, always keeps us amused whether she is demonstrating an entrechat or recounting her experiences. With Carole as Mission banker in Sophomore year we experi- enced something of her unique skill in extracting from us, rather painlessly, stray dimes and nickels for her favorite mis- sions. In cheerleading Carole found an outlet for her boundless energy and high spirits. Enthusiasm and sincerity make her a wonderful friend and we predict for her a future interesting, happy and different.

For Julie has those special qualities of kindness and co-operation that are so necessary for the success of a class. In our play Julie portrayed Miss de Fore so well that the audience was surprised to learn that she was not actually a Dean of Women.

Carolyn will do it. Cheerful and friendly, she, is al- ways willing to do more than her share and add to the fun at the same time. As photography editor of the Torch she did an excellent piece of work. Her important behind the scenes as- signment in the Senior play is just one example of Carolyn's unobtrusive ability to help make life smoother and happier. Carolyn's potentialities and warm-hearted, energetic nature fit her admirably for her chosen field of medical technology. We predict for her a life of rewarding service and satisfying achieve- ment.

The story goes that the best things come in small packages, but we, the Class of '60, thirty-four strong, have rewritten the old adage to read that the best things come in large packages. For us quantity equals quality. Our own distinctive quality is spelled out in terms of a unity which recognizes individuality, ingenuity, and versatility. Moreover, Emily Post would agree that our social graces are tres apropos. They correspond in turn with our interested cooperation in school work. In sports, whether as players or spectators, we always participate. We proved our ability to entertain by our stage portrayal of Babes in Toyland. Even though we did not win at Canisius, the pleasure we brought to the children at Roswell Park and the Cerebral Palsy Institute was most satisfying. The Sem, the Sisters, our schoolmates, our visitors, our fun are never to be for- gotten by thelClass of '6O.

As the school year began the Class of '61 found itself enveloped in Caesar's Latin, Euclid's Geometry, Tennyson's Idylls and the weight of Sophomore responsibilities. Laying aside Freshman frivolity and recognizing Junior finesse, we strove for our own individuality. We realized our duties as upper classmen to follow the ideals of the Seminary in our endeavors. As the year progressed the Freshmen received the full brunt of our exuberance when we initiated them en masse. Our studies again took the upper hand as we made the honor roll our goal. Seeking to improve ourselves as well as our grades we concluded our probation periods and were received into the Sodality and Third Grder. However, our social activities were not all forgotten in the whirl of scholastic achievements. The highlight of our social events was centered on the Senior Prom which it was our privilege as Sophs to attend. The progression ofthe year revealed a marked growth of enthusiasm as we cheered our schoolmates on to victory in many a game. As we look back on this year we will always have pleasant memories and a feeling of achievement, that we, the Sophomores, have contributed an important part to the spirit and tradition, of the Seminary. page forty-one gx Ifllffl' fnrly-izrn '5' vb. 9+ vo' lun?

From Fast Aurora and Eggertsville, from Wanakah and Orchard Park and of course, from Buffalo, came the frightened Freshmen to Saint Mary's Seminary to begin a new chapter in their lives. They soon realized that the emphasis was on knowing and loving God as well as on cultural and academic subjects. The spirit of the traditional Senior-Freshman Tea succeeded in making them feel that the Sem was their second home.. The early misgivings were again felt at the approach of the dreaded initiation. The loss of a plump senorita's pillow and Peanut's failure of words erased their fears and added to the hilarity of that occasion. Shortly before Thanksgiving their charity was shown through their sending a Thanksgiving basket to a needy family. Their year was saddened when God sent for a classmate, Joyce Ann Gioia who died on December 14, 1958. They missed her, but felt they had gained a heavenly suppliant. The end of the year brought the prospect of the spring dance and the dawning confidence that these experiences in their freshman year would profit them in the future. page forty-lhree 155 'ton -4,-Q, S Acfivifies f'j :Af V page forty-six Row One: M.

Since Saint Mary's Seminary is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, it seems fitting that the Sodality of Our Lady should be of utmost importance in the minds of the faculty and the student body. Through the Act of Consecration the Sodalist dedicates herself to the Blessed Mother pledging to sanctify herself primarily, and secondly to sanctify her neighbor and defend and advance the interests of Holy Mother the Church. The life of a Sodalist is not an easy one. Her spiritual training begins with the probation period wherein the candidate is introduced to a new way of life, a life bounded by daily duties which include the morning prayers, daily Mass, Commun- ion, mental prayer, the Rosary, the Ofiice of the Blessed Virgin, and evening prayers. Her training as a Sodalist prepares her to meet the various problems of the lay apostolate and enables her to become an outstanding Catholic leader. page forty-seven 1 page forty-eight C. Widlak, M.

The holy founder had no other purpose in mind than that the Order he established should be a means of attaining our eternal goal more easily through the extensive practice of the Christian rule of life. VVe as members of the fraternity at St. Mary's Seminary have tried to accom- plish the aims of this Order by fulfilling the corporal works of mercy as well as the Franciscan way of life. Through our many efforts we have accomplished the follow- ing: singing High Mass at Veterans Hospital, bringing happiness to orphans, and assisting the nuns at the Nazareth Home. Though these activities took both time and effort, we, the members ofthe Third Order, have benefited greatly by helping others. It has become a means of personal sanctihcation to all. page forty-nirw Missions s pagr' .Hfly Legion Decency . Mizlno, D. Mzlttur, M. nl. Godfrey, M. N1illl'lO, I.. Kuesslcr. Sm.fed.' tl.

Debate Club The newly-formed Debate Club was very active this year, under the direction of Sister Francis Xavier. Members of all four classes demonstrated their oratorical abil- ity and argumentative skill in a series of competitions in which they expounded the proposition- Resolved: that membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment should be illegal. The resolution is particularly timely since there has been a great deal of disputa- tion, lately, concerning it. The debaters gained an understanding of this contro- versial topic of Unions and the Right-to-Work laws that will better enable them to understand current events. An enormous amount of research was done on the topic, and everyone had a won- derful time poring through innumerable pertinent books, magazines and leaflets. By debates with other schools, as well as in intramural contests, the members of the Debate Club gained invaluable public-speaking experience and found that debating is interesting and fun. page fifty-one .!!'

Library Club President Jackie Lehner Vice-President Laurie Koessler Secretary-treasurer Judy Sniatecki The Library Assistant Association has made its appearance for the first time at St. Mary's Seminary. The club is open to Seniors and Juniors who render valuable aid to the Librarian, by taking care of basic routines such as charging books in and out of the library, keeping the bookshelves in order, and by seeing to it that books are returned on time and kept in circulation. The club has also proved of value to the student librarian herself. To her come many students seeking advice in the use of the library and books suitable for the tastes of many. Regular meetings ofthe club present opportunities to discuss new and better ways of making the library tools more efficient for the students. The re- sponsibility entailed in the faithful discharge of her position are noteworthy ad- vantages in character training and self-reliance. y Row One: M. T. Bellissimo, D. Mattar, B. Leone, M. E.

Music Club President Mary Ellen Murphy Secretary-treasurer Maureen Barrett Student Editor Ann Jean Murray The Buffalo Chapter of the National Catholic Music Educators Association was formed five years ago, and Saint Mary's Seminary has been an active supporter from the start. We are proud of the fact that Sister Mary Grace, our school moder- ator, was one ofthe founders ofthe Buffalo Chapter and has done much to advance music appreciation in our Buffalo schools. The purpose of the club is to stimulate, among the members, an interest in good music of varied types, and to foster an eager appreciation of all musical forms- instrumental, dance and voice. Our Music Club members were very busy this year singing High Mass at the Old Cathedral and Veterans Hospital, and working hard to earn merits for musical accomplishments, in order to gain awards at the end of the year. page fifty-three 4 K If My Mggsfiiigl . laik , .- f , , 'Q ' glam .Q-'XX f .,,., ,' 'M' s w ,wk I ,-, A X Q ,Q ,, ...gag ,- f. ,gf ,g.,w +i-gQg- 4 Q- -- 5, 3 nywgibgt-Ny. -.5 6 ,5 e.,.

N. Model Assembl In this age of atomic power and intra-nation threats, it is really inspiring to see the students of this city joining together to gain a better understanding of the lfnited Nations, our hope of peace. This year, in the model General Assembly, Saint Mary's Seminary represented Portugal. The girl's colorful costumes added a bright note of authenticity to the proceedings and they felt that they had gained a very true understanding of this great international organization. The representatives devoted many hours to research on the life and foreign policy of Portugal and ended up feeling like native-born Portuguese. All in all, the girls felt that it had been a very worthwhile experience. They had learned much that would enable them to better comprehend the problems of inter- national peace. They will continue to work and pray for that end. 'i 1 xx ig- 'M fl y i f , ,ek -V , ' sf' 1 1 K ' A K 1. Row One: Honey, Chas, Josie, jack, Di, Markie.

In this age of conformity, we feel that the Sloyd Club is an innovation. We have no purpose, officers or motto. When, in yearbooks, we find a paragraph such as this under a club picture, the usual purpose is to explain the activity. Since that is the purpose of this prose, this paragraph is purposeless because we are. Now, dear reader, we must ask, Isn't it a relief to see composed, mature expres- sions instead of inane, toothy grins? We knew you'd like it! We feel we've suc- ceeded in individualism. VVe're refreshingly radical! You must concede-WE DID THE JOB! P.S. Truly, we would miss our class picture because we're Seniors and the dis- tinctive Sloyd Club provided an excuse to be photographed as a hole.

Qur Senior Promenade An atmosphere of festivity prevailed in the Terrace Room of the Statler Hilton on December twenty-ninth when we, the Senior Class, presented our annual Prome- n ade. Preceding the dance we were entertained by Barbara Campagna at a punch party in her home. According to tradition the Seniors introduced their escorts to the Fac- ulty at school. A truly memorable evening was climaxed at a breakfast given by Sheila Driscoll and Karen Bevilacqua at Sheila's home. 1 I gf 695: Row Ona: Driscoll, P. Crcwiry, -I. Miano, II. Hagan, I..

We spent three and a half days there, skiing on Mt. Whitney, skating on the Olympic Rink and generally having a good time. Much of our free time was occupied with movies, hikes into town, and a sleigh ride, but there were still a few spare minutes for sleep and discussions concerning Tessie and Git, Dick!
