The bodily frail, but intellectually great Pontiff, who led the Church through the most trying of times, was universally mourned. Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C. officiated at a Solemn High Requiem Mass attended by more than 5000 students and faculty. During October the University also honored its founder. Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C.

A FUTURE ENSIGN proudly presents his nervous date to the lieutenant. Military dance Pat Toner, Tom Trinley, and Neal Lamping of the Army, Navy, and Air Force joined forces to produce a highly successful Military Ball this year. In the past the Ball had been held in the early winter but due to a reorganization of the social calen- dar, the cadets and midshipmen found themselves with the eve of the Duke game to hold their military merry-making. The committee ex- ploited their advantage, hiring the Johnny Palmer Orchestra and put- ting to work a crew of artistic decor- ators. Autumn Review was the re- sult. Kitty Kearney of Barat College, Maureen Doyle of Mundelein Col- lege and Carmen Ores, a Texas girl, arrived that afternoon to compose the court of queens. They were es- corted by the three chairmen. As tradition demands, one of the big obstacles of the evening for proud cadets and midshipmen was to in- troduce their nervous dates to the various military personnel at th e university. NEAL LAMPING, chairman, sits quietly in an empty Rathskeller on the eve of the Military Ball. -
