Carmine Molinaro, President of the St, Vincent College Student Government. STUDENT SENATE Everyone living in a free nation knows the importance of good government. At. St. Vincent College, the administration and students both, therefore, permit and encourage students to govern themselves. It is felt that the more initiative and more responsibility given to students, the better Christian gentlemen they will become. These are only a few of the rea- sons for the existence of a student government at St. Vincent, but even these are enough. The functions of the Student Senate are varied and many. Perhaps one of the most important functions, though probably the littlest known, is the performance of liaison between the student body and the administration. Another important ac- tivity of the Student Senate is the creation of a working social calendar. The Senate also allocates money to various clubs on campus, all, incidentally, formed under the auspices of the Student Senate, for their particular duties. Within the first three months of this year, the Senate, under the leadership of President Carmine Molinaro, acquired a new student lounge for the college in general, and formed a com- mittee of dayhop representatives, besides their usual duties. 45

Early in the week the various clubs on campus began to prepare their colorful decorations as Homecoming, 1962 be- gan to draw near. At last the floats were finished and the day was here. From all over the world graduates from St. Vincent College began to gather at their old campus especially the twenty-five year men the Class of 1937. Early in the afternoon usually after a trip around the school the graduates gathered in Sportsman s Hall for cock- tails and to meet with some of their old professors. Later the Homecoming football game began, and at halftime the fresh- men, who had been chafing under upperclassman rule in connection with the Orientation program were freed from their green dinks and backsigns, the freedom usually ac- companied by lndian-like war whoops. Also at halftime Miss Sally Lyon chosen Homecoming Queen at the dance the night before and her court were presented to the football audience in a parade. Halftime activities also included a drum and bugle corps from the area. After the game a dinner was held in honor of the St. Vin- cent Graduates. The success of the whole Homecoming pro- gram this year can be summed up in one word - very!!! 47 'ws Lett The chem1stry clubs Homecoming decoration a sign welcoming the twenty five year graduates to the 1962 Home commg Below The St Vincent Rural Frve musrc group re porting to Bearcat Stadrum to enlighten the crowd concerning the musical element cacaphony rn then' hay wagon ,,, ,,,. ..
