Thomas More College - Triskele Yearbook (Crestview Hills, KY)

Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1956 volume:

i956 725an6 TRISKELE denotes a figure composed of three branches radiating from a center. Theword is a variant of triskelion, a term of similarmeaning, derived from the Greek. The title has been selected because the symbol aptly signifies the distinctive charac- teristics of Villa Madonna College: the Unity of its Threefold Administrative Body-- The Reverend Provincial Superior of The Sisters of Saint Benedict, The Sisters of Notre Dame. The Sisters of Divine Providence; VILLA MADONNA COLLEGE COVINGTON, KENTUCKY of its Threefold Student Body Religious, Young Women, Young Men; of its Threefold Educational Culture- - S piritual, Intellectual, Social. To the Rebels of Villa Madonna we proudly de- dicate this 1956 TRISKELE. Their 1n- cessant devotion, 1oyality, and plain hard work has commanded the attention and reco nition for the college that has ong been denied it in the past because of its failure to measure up to the criteria of a modern college-namelz-enroll- ment and architecture. The Rebels. ave in a sense. put Villa Madonna College in the acade- mic map of our area. They are symbolic of the college as a whole;-- oung, zealous, and ever striving to improve an advance. But then this rebel concept is not to be te- stricted 50131 to the team as such, for as a col- lective singu I group. thetg are buta medium for conveying to others what e college as a whole stands for. That on: team members individually can afford to abandon that role as athletes and still be numbered among those who constitute the solid, intrinsic worth of Villa is, huwevet. a definite advantage to the school and to themselves. Yet the term 'tebel has a much broader and deeper conno- tation. It implies a mild insurrection. an impatience with. and a casting aside of all mediocrity and speciousness that so often characterizes out contemlporary society. The spiritual, intellectual. and cultural ideals of the col age are never compromised or lowered to a pease any inferior de- mands. no matter how popuiar they may be. On e contrary these values remain ever constant and snive always to elevate these lesser standards which challen e them. In this sense the term rebel is applicable to every member 0 the faculty and student body of Villa Madonna College, in so fat as each promotes, encourages. and lives these ideals. It is then with hope and a sense of daring that we ask our patrons to eve: inspire her students with a true spirit of rebellion. Rebellion not of the type that questions t righteous authority, but rather cooperates with it, h by directing its energy into the advised channels, Thus With this idea in mind, it seems only fitting that the staff of the 1956 edition of the TRISKELE. select as its theme - THE REBELS. 96am: THE REVEREND CHARLES GARVEY SISTER MARY CAMILLA, C.

In a Catholic college, the whole environment is activated by principles of correct morals and Christian ethics. Religion. as practiced in the chapel; and applied in everyday student life, guides and stimulates the collegiate in his student vocation. AI Villa, students have ample opportunity to generate religious thinking in themselves and others.

Students. however which are truly products ofa Catholic liberal arts college. with its Christian atmosphere and idealistic princi- Ples have much more to offer. Here at Villa, religion, science and the arts are not treated as separate entities. They age integrated so as to permit the students to view their subjects in their totality. which is in reality the only way to understand anything thoroughly. With this type of training, the college man or woman will be prone to carry over the integration technique to his life following graduation. His occupation, his recreation. the whole of his life will be permeated with the principles im- bued in him by his conscientious professors. . Thus will be achiev- ed a more closet union between the spiritual and material as- pects of this life. which today are becoming more and more divorced. Yes. we at Villa Madonna College. have a. tre- mendous responsibility to society. Because of out added advantages, much will be expected of us. May we then. endeavor always to fulfill these expectations.

The need for activities removed from purely soaial affairs is recognized by the Christian college as a necessary part in the education of a student, A project completed by the students, under the direction of the students, gives a sense of accomplishment to those. who ex- ecuted it, a sense of leadership to those who planned it and a sense of pride to those who enjoyed it. Villa Madonna College's 5 tude n t C 0 un c H, TRIAD, TRISKELE, and various clubs and committees share this idea and discharge their programs to all students. Thus the student learns that a Christian life is com- posed of intellectual work and play alike, resulting in a well-informed Christian member of society.

His ticket for the trip back to Covingtou was mailed to him 3 days later. Athletics, a compliment to scholastics, is necessary for the edu- cation of the whole man. The student on the playing floor or in the ball field represents the college through the practical application of the principles typifying Villa Madonna College. How- ever, the students in the stands play an equally vital part through cooperation and active school spirit. This year the college has excelled in each undertaking. Although we were not champions, all the time. we proved ourselves victors in defeat. Villa educates not only the mental faculties but also the physical. so that the student may develop socially and physically as well as intellectually. Rebek Enioy A Good Year k3; 5;? K- Forward G.

The combination of work. in the guise of study and play, in the form of social life in a Christian school, is an effective duo that produces a likeable student, a better student. Social life at Villa Madonna Col- lege contributes to the sculpturing of the personality and character, It teaches leadershipas directors and submission as followers. It teaches , sociability, friendliness, the cooperation of one personality with another for any good. It gives the student more social poise and grace, as he becomes acquainted with more of those whom he soon calls a friend. Villa realizes the far-reaching effects of such a pro- gram and has, accordingly, arranged, through the social committee one which will result in her graduating a true Christian friend in each gentleman and gentle woman. 7dme Senior Lovelies Faculty and Students join in evening's gaiety, C.Y. 0.
