6n? BA 1 CKLJ The college student should not only be tamiliar With the great works of literature, but he should also be able to discuss them capably and intelligently With other people. Much can be learned by all the participants in the intel- lectual give and take, the exchange and weighing of a well-directed literary discussion. Such is the nature of the English Club. Furthermore, each meeting of the Club is held at the residence of a friend of the Univer- sity, and this fortunate arrangement provides a suitable setting for the gatherings by making them social as well as educational. NO single theme or category characterized this year's reading list, except perhaps, that, although justly famous and revered, the works Fr. Lee, Faculty Rdvisor, Hrdis Collins, Secretary, Carlos Sarabia, President are seldom read any more. These works in- cluded the Canticle of Canticles, the Iliad, and Goethe's Faust. The value of such a list lies in the opportunity that it gives the members of expanding their knowledge of the literature of different countries and periods of history. Back Row: Iim Ellis, Pat Gibbons, Bill Gibbons, Kathleen Giblin, Herdon Williams, Frank Rizo, Mar- tha Williams, Fr. Lee. Seated: Mike Butera, Lucia Bonno, Dot Brett, Mary Mendoza, Miss Elizabeth Moody, Hostess, Nancy Dee, Carlos Sarabia, Hrdis Collins, Rosie Smith

ediclenf $14019an There is nothing quite like dorm life. One is immediately thrown in as a member of a large family with its consequent advan- tages and disadvantages. If you have any big problems the dorm mother is always available for consultation and there are also many sisters to Whom one can air her griefs and confide her troubles. In this family, as in every family, there is working, playing and praying together. Then the not so pleasant work of studying is involved, the Nbrains are more than willing to help the Hbrawn with seminars, coaching, etc. Hlthough there are three girls' dorms, the residents are all close friends. The in- cessant social calls between the three and dinner together provide ample opportunity for getting acquainted. Rn annual Christmas party is the high- light of the season with all the entertain- ment, decorations and work done by the dorm girls. Birthday parties are celebrated With entertainment and fine refreshments, sometimes made by our HMother and tal- ent shows, usually supplied by the fresh- men. 9 Spring party is held outside with appropriate decorations and refreshments to fit the occasion. Every evening is culminated With family prayers for the success of our University and for the health, welfare and scholastic advancement of our fellow students. Dorm life is happy life. There are friend- ships made in the dorm Which last for a lifetime. Indeed . . . there is nothing quite like dorm life. ; t 4 1 g Rossmoyne Dorm. Mrs. M. G.
