Without writing a single line or even speaking a word, women can change the way of life of families, of nations, and of the world. That is why it is essential for the world at large, and particularly for Christianity, that women know their mission and their destiny. A woman's mission is to continue the Incarnation, Her destiny is to prolong the presence of Christ. She accomplishes this in Holy Marriage through motherhood in the flesh, or in Holy Virginity through motherhood in the spirit. In either case, like Mary, she becomes a living example of total dedication. Her function is to re-echo the fiat of Mary and thus to become a source of blessing to humanity. May Our Lady of Prompt Succor keep you ever conscious of your high mission and guide you to the fulfillment of your eternal destiny. Sinc er ely, 52... WWW 'Y' w W aw. S29' My dear Graduates: At this joyous season of graduation you are preparing to embark on a new adventure in the life that awaits you beyond the sphere of school days at Ursuline, and, like all young travelers, you are eager to begin your journey. Meanwhile, your teachers, classmates, and friends at Ursuline gather about you to offer fond messages and practical advice. What is the supreme message your Alma Mater would leave with you amid the joys and activities of commencement? It will be a brief but comprehensive one, which you have, we trust, already engraved on your hearts. , The Latin tongue, with its strong sense of realities, has furnished us an expressive Word of seven letters, which serves as the motto of all Ursuline students. Serviam, I shall serve, with all its implications of loyalty, unselfishness, and lofty striving will prove an invaluable watchword for your entire life. It will be worthwhile to recall briefly the symbolism of the Serviam banner you have seen so often and which you have worn in miniature on the jacket of your school uniform. First, it bears a field of stars which symbolize elevation and the lofty heights of Heaven, to which you aspire. These stars are not arranged at: random but in the form of the constellation Ursa Minor, recalling our Patroness Saint Ursula, who reminds us of purity, of struggle, of heroic effort. Ursa Minor, commonly known as the Little Bear, guides you to the polar star, the fixed point by which travelers may always be able to keep to the right path. Dear Graduates, your fixed point is your Ursuline education, your polar star which should prove an unfailing light to guide you during the whole of that life which is opening before you. Your emblem bears the crowning symbol of the Cross, from whence comes all good, all grace of Redemption, and all hope of future glory. The final word, Serviam, per- meates the whole tradition of your Ursuline education. I will serve Christ, the King includes all possible worthwhile service to God and man. Your Serviam slogan, then, with all its noble implications, is my parting reminder to you, dear Graduates, as we confide you to the care of Our Lady of Prompt Succor who has so lovingly watched over your play, your prayer, and your study during your years at Ursuline. Our same gracious Lady will be waiting for you in loving expectation at the end of life's journey. If you have, with her help and intercession, been faithful to Serviam , i..e. , devotedlo the service of her Divine Son, lshewill recogniz you as one of her very own, as she welcomes her Ursuline children Home, to the eternal reunion in Heaven. With devoted affection, and the assurance of the continuing prayer and loving interest of all your Ursuline Mothers, I am, dear Graduates, Ever faithfully yours, Mother Teresita Rivet, O. S.

We 'f w 'N 5' 1 : .Eg 1 CLASS HISTORY 1958-'59 was a year marked by world crises and revolution. The first of the present disputes over Berlin flared up, several Iraq revolutions took place, and the Skips of '62 first entered the Ursuline student body. In October, as nameless, confused freshmen we prepared for the first big event of the year, Rally Night. We chose Marionettes as our name, and red and white for our class colors. Our poster depicted a girl sitting atop a rocket traveling to the planets. Our skit, which has been the only skit in Rally Night history to be exactly two minutes long, presented the story of a war between us and the Merry Macs. We tied for third in both of these enterprises. We were victorious, however, in our volleyball game with the Macs, and later won the school champ- ionship from the Sioux. Next came Freshman Installation during which we were officially received into the Ursuline Student Body. In a ceremony at McMain our big sisters gave us our Serviam pins after which we recited the Freshman Pledge. In January we elected Francine Cicero president, and Louise Blamphin and Millicent Bourg vice- presidents. ln May our big sisters, the Skips of '59, willed us their name on graduation day. And we became Skips of '62, As possessors of the Skipperette name, we entered sophomore year. Ann Guenther was elected president and Francine Cicero and Kathleen Vath, vice-presidents. On Rally Night, we were awarded the second place trophy for the skit. We won the volleyball championship for the second year. Later in the year, we won the basketball and baseball championships. In January we gave a program dance entitled Winter Wonderland. The gym was decorated with a snowman and silver Christmas trees. For Valentine's Day we had a heart hunt. Our Francine Cicero was crowned King of Hearts. Everyone enjoyed searching for the red hearts. The senior class presented a mock carnival ball. The route was heavily populated by the rest of the school eager to catch the throws of the ma skers. Penny Bourg won second place in biology essay contest sponsored by Loyola and Caroline Mohr won first place in an essay contest on Madam Butterfly. Although we weren't old enough to take part in the main ceremonies, we eagerly looked forward to the next year when we would be in Ursuline under the banner of Junior Skips. For the third year, our ship set sail. We were juniors now, at last. The year was filled with the promises of success. On Rally Night, we held the title of being undefeated in volleyball. Next, in January, the One-Act Play Contest rolled around again. Our play was The Romance of the Willow Pattern. Again, the Skips were victorious. We won best play, best scenery, the best actress was our Joan Tipery. On February 9, we received our Junior pins in the first Junior Pin ceremony had at Ursuline. As the year drew near its end, we became anxious for our Junior- Senior Prom. It was held April21, at the Tulane Room of the Jung Hotel. Sooner than we realizedthe year's end was upon us. On Class Night, we formed the forget-me-not chain for the seniors. Our class president, Sandra Russo, graciously received the treasured loving cup, with which we accepted the trust and hope placed in us - the next class of seniors. Finally we reached the cherished status of seniors joyful at the prospect of deciding the course of our future lives. Francine Cicero became President of the Student Body and of the Senior Class and provided the Skips of '62 with strong leadership. We again proved our athletic prowess at Rally Night, we won our fourth consecutive victory in the volleyball game against the Sioux. The trophy for class spirit was also awarded to our class. With a more serious air, we then installed our little sisters into the student body, For the first time we donned our white graduation govsms, which made the last day seem closer. In November we inherited the Senior Lounge and claimed it for the rest of the year. After exams in January, we made our closed retreat at St. Gertrude's in Covington. That same month we Skips hosted our mothers at a Ring-Day luncheon given in the Royal Orleans Hotel. That night, January 26, we were presented ou senior rings by Reverend Mother Teresita. Now we truly were engaged to fulfill the principles symbolized on the ring. Our Ring Dance was a wonderful success on a beautiful night never to be forgotten. The next big event was our J unior-Senior Prom held at the Fontainbleau Hotel on April 27th. Our joy was mingled with sadness, for this was our last Ursuline dance. We were grateful to the class of '63 for giving us such a memorable night. Field Day was held in May, and the Skips made their final athletic effort. The result - winners of 1962 Field Day. After final exams, in which we exerted our last efforts toward scholastic achievement before college, came Class Night on May 29 and then Graduation, May 30. The four years were ended, years of laughter, work, joy, and sorrow. Yet as we all set sail in various directions, our spirit as Skipperettes, our memories of Ursuline, our mutual activities, remain to haunt us and enrich our lives.

The tall figure of John Fitzgerald Kennedy ascended the platform steps and stood beside the podium. In a clear voice he repeated the time-honored words of American history: I do solemly swear .... In the space of those few short moments, America had taken a new president, a new leader, a new administration to lead her through the next four years. John F. Kennedy now bore on his shoulders a new and tremendous responsibility -- the safety of the people of the United States of America and, ultimately, of the world. For our youthful president had assumed leader- ship of one of the most powerful nations in the world today-- a nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all -- a nation dedicated to peace. Peace is a very important word today, when trouble spots such as Cuba, Africa, and Asia provoke world-wide disputes. Peace is an important word, when we realize that we live today in an era of nuclear weapons and space missiles, of disarmament and the cold war. As President Kennedy addressed the nation, he said: Let us begin anew the quest for peace before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. He spoke to the people of America and to the people of the world in one of the most stirring inaugural speeches ever given as he declared, Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. These words should inspire each American with a deep feeling of patriotism. The individual citizen should ask himself, What can I do for my country ? There is no one in these United States of America who cannot ask and answer that question, for patriotism does not necessarily imply outstanding deeds of courage and valor performed in the service of one's country, but the seemingly unimportant actions of everyday life, it does not demand fiery speeches and orations, but genuine love and devotion to country, it is not emblazoned in the chosen few who are rich, or who have special talents, but is inscribed in the hearts of every true American. The spark of patriotiem is kindled as school children pledge their allegiance to the flag of America every morning, it burns in the earnest efforts of the college student preparing himself for later life in this country, it flourishes in the men and women in the armed services of America, ever ready to fight to keep that spark burning, it is cherished in the businessman who deals fairly with his clients, it is rooted immovably in the fibre of these people, because they realize that they live in a country which was founded by the blood, toil, tears, and sweat of earlier patriots. Our country came into existence because of a group of determined colonists who fought against over- whelming odds to gain freedom -- freedom of religion, free- dom of speech, and freedom of press. Through their efforts, this great nation was formed, a nation founded on the principles of liberty, a nation which guarantees freedom and equality to its people. Our founding fathers ensured this freedom in two important human documents, the Declaration of Inde- pendence and the Constitution. This all-improtant principle of liberty was emphasized in President Kennedy's inaugural speech with the words, Let every nation know, whether it wish us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty . . . In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending free- dom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility - I welcome it. This aim can be accomplished because Americans today remember the price which our forefathers paid for liberty. They remember two terrible world wars fought to ensure that this priceless heritage would not fall prey to com- munism, the enemy of freedom. They remember, and look to the future with hope, with courage, with the con- viction that America will always be free and democratic, the friend of peace, the champion of justice. The Statue of Liberty stands majestically in New York Harbor, ex- tending the torch of freedom to oppressed peoples of the world, the symbol of peace, justice and liberty, a proud reminder that America is a free nation. History has recorded the deeds of the more famous men who helped to keep America free. Our founding fathers welded the United States into a pattern which would endure through the centuries, and which would preserve the basic rights of men forever - the pattern of democracy. One name which will be forever linked with the story of America is that of George Washington, who guided this country in its years of in- fancy. His strong capable hands molded America, and shaped her course as the whole world watched. This work which he had begun so competently and surely was continued by his successors and gave history the names which rank among the great patriots of yesteryear: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and James Monroe. But America can count many men among her favorite sons who were not presidents - Nathan Hale, Henry Clay, Patrick Henry, John Paul Jones and Paul Revere are some of the well loved ones. What made these men so great? The answer lies in their unselfish zeal for the country to which they were devoted and the heroic and self-sacrificing lives they led, so that they set splendid examples for their fellow men. They were willing and eager to run any risk, take any chance, brace any danger if the welfare of their country were at stake. Here we have patriotism in the most perfect sense - love of country to the exclusion of self. True patriotism is firm, constant, and unwav- ering. An example is found in the oft repeated words of Nathan Hale I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country. The spirit of these men has endured through the ages, and will endure as long as the United States of America endures, for she will continue to produce patriots until the end of time, and invisibly woven in her flag are the words of Patrick Henry, Give me Liberty of give me Death. Pamela Weilbaecher '63 IDEAS FUNNY AND OTHERWISE AJ What happened to me during the first eight years of my life that impressed me or others as interesting strange, humorous, puzzling, difficult, or splendid? Where did the Easter Bunny live when he wasn't delivering eggs. Peggy Kleinschmidt. I had a fascination for taking off my shoes and then bothering someone to put them back on. Bonnie Dugas. I lived on an island for a month and fell into some quicksand. Dale Valley. I fell through a hole in a floor in a radio studio. Kay Vath. I had the impression that everything stopped when it was dark and I went to bed. I thought the whole city went to sleep as soon as I did. Bonnie Peyrefitte Got on the wrong plane and went to Salt Lake City, when I was supposed to be going to Miami. I was seven. Alice Tournillon When I lost my tooth in Costa Rica I got ten cents from the Bunny. That upset me because usually I got twenty-five cents from the American Bunny. Joanne Bologna I accidentally caused my little brother to drink rubbing alcohol. Penny Bourg Strange ambition - I wanted to be an altar boy. M. G. Ridolfo Puzzling - Did you ever put salt on a slug and watch him melt? Mary Grace Ridolfo BJ What happened during my second eight years of the same nature? I once tore a lady's waistline out of her dress as I stepped off the bus. Kay Vath I went to State Rally for extemporaneous speaking when I was a freshmen. I was so nervous and scared that I wanted to die but fortune smiledon me when Mrs. Mock misread the schedule and I missed the whole thing. Jean Ruello Once on the S. S. C. A. I got caught going into someone else's room in a muu-muu. The bad thing about itgwas that a Nun was in the room I was entering. Kathleen McGoey Discovered boys. Genie Luck I entertained myself by trying to catch a glimpse of my guardian angel, by means of quickly and steadily glancing over my shoulder. I hoped to catch him off-guard, so that he would not have time to elude my eyes. I was extremely afraid to sit back in my desk, lest I should smash him to death. Janice Donaldson. cp What problem, interest, amusing thing, hope, fear, fascination has occupied my mind a good deal lately? Fear of not getting my senior ring. All. Tryingto readtwo books a couple of days before the exams. Karen Keenan DJ What have I read, heard, or seen that stirred, delighted, or amused me or that made me think? I saw a presentation of E. A. Poe's The Black Cat , and now I'm frightened to death of cats. Marlou Henriques Some words of G. K. Chesterton to be used in confronting the non-believers, Have you tried Christianity and found it wanting? Or have you found it difficult and nottried it? Jean Ruello EJ What have I discovered about living that is different from what people have told me it is or should be? Senior year is not a barrel of fun. g FJ What is there worth remarking about my dog or cat, my enemy, my friend, my father, my mother, or someone else that plays a large part in my life? My baby brother went to Mass with my Mother the other dayg and at the consecration, when the bells ring, he turned to my Mother and said, Jingle bells, mama, Jingle Bells. Claire Roussel My dog is trained and can do several tricks. He also bites everybody he doesn't know. Diane Canepa GJ What would I like to do with my life? Go to College for a while, meet someone I really love, get married, and rear a family. Caroline Mohr. HD What would I care to change in the world at large or in my world? Change the ideas of the Communist leaders. Peggy Lala Change world situations so that all nations could live in harmony. IJ What is that life, so different from my own, that attracts me, even though the possibility of my living is so remote or non-existent? I would like to lead the life of my teacher. Bonnie Peyrefitte Life of an astronaut. Ann Guenther CEd. note - these questions were given to the senior English classes as a homework assignment. The answers are excerpts from some of the papers.D WHY I WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE Man is a social, dependent being. And the world today with its communication networks, swift trans- portation, and industrial plants makes him even more dependent and social. Today no man is or can be an island. The world needs no ostriches. TO DAG HAMMERSKJOLD The instrument of peace His glories increase Education is almost a necessity. It teaches man how to live in this world. It is usually one of the prime ingredients for financial success. It trains intellects to seek knowledge and new ideas. And it shows man the way to wisdom. Though he is no longer here. The powerful nations With great exultations I have no ambition in life to excel in a business career or be a financial success. I want to be a wife and mother. His memory endear. Before the world This role and its duties have changed with the times. No longer is a mother expected to make soap and candles, or spin cloth. She does not have to know how to milk a cow or kill a chicken. Rather, she must prepare her children to live in a modern, complex society.

Beth Mathieu '64 . . Eugenie Luck '62 THE SY MBOLISM OF THE URSULINE RING Once again another senior class has reached a long awaited day - Ring Day. For all, this is a joyous occasion. It is a day that every senior will cherish and remember for the rest of her life. I To an Ursuline girl, her ring should be a con- stant reminder of all that she has lived up to and of all that she will have to live up to when she is placed face to face with the outside world. St. Angela's lilies re- present the spotless purity of youth. Today it is very hardto remain pure and pleasing to God be-CauSe of the many temptations put upon youth. But an Ursuline girl should be able to withstand these temptations not be- cause of what others may say about her, but because she realizes she is glorifying God and giving the best ex- ample to all around her. St. Ursula's palm of leadership and victory stands for virility. Every one of us should strive to be a leader, not to be led. Not all will be called to be leaders in a big way, but each one of us will be called to be a leader in our own special way - a leader in good example. The palm should remind us to think inde- pendently and to have the strength to stand up for our own convictions and what we know to be right. The shield and sword typify strength of soul. These are the symbols of battle and should remind us that the biggest battle of all is the battle against ourselves. The links and the helmet are reminiscent of chivalry - the dower of an Ursuline girl. They symbolize courage - courage to do and say what we know to be right, and fairness - fairness in our dealings and in our convictions. We should weigh all evidence before forming conclusions, especially when these conclusions involve the good name of another. We should also have respect for authority and for our fellow men. The book represents all that Ursuline offers in knowledge, human and divine. It is through our dedi- cated Ursuline mothers that many of us will go on to college and get degrees. Some will enter the religious life, and still others will choose either the married or the single state. But one thing you can be sure of is that whichever road we take we will have benefited greatly from the teaching and guidance of our Ursuline mothers. And so, as we anxiously await the moment when Reverend Mother will place the rings on our fingers, we cannot help remembering all, who have at different stages of our lives, helped us to take the steps that have led to this wonderful night. Much love and thanks go to our parents, family, friends, and to our chaplain. But most of all to our dear Ursuline mothers who through their patience, teaching, and understanding have made us worthy of wearing the Ursuline ring. May we always be the best examples of Christian womanhood and live up to the ideals of Courtesy, Loyalty, and Courage. . . . Sherron Fonte '62 RETREAT IMPRESSIONS Unglue a student from the T. V. set, disconnect her telephone and radio, isolate her from honking horns, school bells, and a never-ending round of activities-- put her in the country for three days away from it all on a re- treat, request a magnificent retreat master, and if she takes her retreat seriously, she may find herself matured five years when she returns. She may even find T. V. boring and some of her old activities not so interesting. For many fortunate people decisions come easy Many are born equipped with road maps. They come to a fork in the road and unhesitantly know which one to take and then, confident in their decision, speed on down the road never looking back to question their choice. There are a few people, however, given road maps with- out signpostsg and when they reach the fork in the road which inevitably comes after graduation or any problem, they are forced to stop. All of them take a road. Many are successful, but some keep wondering. I can most accurately be placed in the latter category, for decisions come hard. That is why retreat has meant something special for me. It offered an opportunity- for seeing things more clearly. Anyone who took this opportunity could not measure the retreat in any terms but those of immense profit. It is surprising how people of this era get so wrapped up in new inventions, crazes, and fads. They become so blinded by distractions that they can't have insight into even small problems and decisions. Removed from these obstacles they become amazed at the signposts that miraculously appear. In this modern age life moves rapidly, but on retreat there were no worries, no tight schedules and people actually hadtime to think about more important things. Father's talks were so fascinating there was no time for boredom. That these days were so happy is a proof of the fact that we do not need the fast pace of our day and age nor modern inventions and activities to keep us happy. Father gave the reason for so many mental institutions when he said that people fail to live each day at a time. Yesterday there were two World Wars but that is in the past. Tomorrow the Russians may press the button but that is in the future. Today is the present. This second is ours to do with what we will. Because of the many new ideas and outlooks I received during re- treat I came home feeling sorry for the billions of people in the world who hadn't been there. Linda Lapara '62 BIRTH OF FAITH A star peeping through the black veil of night. The persistent echo of whispering wind. The flash of lightning through an ebony sky. The glow of an aurora sunrise. Dale Nix '65 INTO THE UNKNOWN A CONTRAST It is early morning, August third, 1492 Three small ships, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria are at anchor in a Spanish seaport. This day is a reward for Christopher Columbus, for it is the culmination of many months of failures, trying to win over support from various heads of government to back his plan for reaching India by sailing west. There are not many people watching his preparations for de- parture, just a few women, sailors, and children standing on the docks, laughing at the undertaking, and scornfully saying that Columbus will never return. He now bids farewell to the crowd. The crew, not more than one hundred men, lift anchor. The wind fills the white sails and slowly carries the three little wooden boats out to the Atlantic Ocean and on to the unknown. Four-hundred and seventy years later on February twentieth, 1962, another ship is about to emerge on a journey. The tall gleaming space-ship, Friendship 7, glints in the early-morning sunlight at Cape Canaveral, Florida. After three longs years of hard work, this is the day that an American astronaut will circle the earth. Millions all over the world, child- ren in classrooms, adults in offices and stores are anxiously glued to televisions and radios. As zero min- ute approaches, a feeling of apprehension builds. Then, slowly but surely, the rocket climbs to the bright blue sky and into the unknown ocean of space. --Betty Ann Rivet '64 TIME When I stop and think of time My mind begins to blur. I think of present, and of past And also of the future. Then I think of what it means To live from day to day How can I find tomorrow? Surely, there must be a way. But each time I come to tomorrow I find it isn't there Because tomorrow becomes today. I can't see how that is fair. But if I could get to tomorrow I know I would not stay. For everyone knows that you can live Only in today. Noelie Pilie '65 A MEMORABLE DAY Although my friend had never mentioned out- right that she was considering being a nun, the day she told me she was entering I wasn't at all surprised. It was strange but I actually felt that I had known it all along. It seemed as though it just couldn't be any other way. After the initial shock of the announcement had passed I made supreme efforts to keep my mind from realizing the void that would come. We live and laughed away those months creating the warmth of golden mem- ories in our hearts and minds. At last the night before she was to leave arrived. She and I and a few other friends gathered for her last night among her friends. This was a good distraction that made the night pass lightly and quickly. On the morning of her departure- we all went down to the Chapel to receive Holy Communion. I realized that morning that this reception of Our Lord would symbolize a union Ann and I would always share though many miles apart. Then we both promised to re- ceive Our Lord every day possible as though we were still side by side at the Holy Table. Strange as it may seem, the miles vanish like mist between us when we meet in prayer. Linda Calongne, '62, Let Him Who is Without Sin Cast the First Stone. Peggy Lowrey '6 Our Lord was walking pensively through the streets of a small city in Palestine. It was hot. The sun shone on His gleaming red-brown hair. If a person should have happened to pass, he might have halted, fixed in his step, to gaze in amazement at the majectic figure, almost unconsciously the thought would have run through his mind, This is a great man! Suddenly, there was a noise, a bustle, a shout in the quiet path. A boisterous crowd wove its way through. the village and then hesitated at the square. Our Lord looked on. A sobbing woman was pushed into the open, roughly, unfairly. Our Master could no longer be a by- stander. He looked with sympathy, and even sorrow on the unfortunate woman, an adulteress. The throng was set in its purpose. This woman had committed a base treachery -- the punishment was stoning, and the Jewish law knew not mercy. For this Jesus came. He confronted that crowd with a challenge. Let him who is without sin, he said, cast the first stone. That multitude was dumbfounded. Every man of it shrank away. And guilt pursued them. Since the incident centuries ago, many crowds have pushed forth many persons accused of some infamy. These words of Christ stand to condemn their actions. People, so eager to condemn others, see not the need to reform themselves. MELISSA'S BIRTHDAY. It was November 13, her birthday. Melissa was home some time when the phone rang in the den loud and clear. She dashed into the room, turned on the light, and lowered the radio. By the time she found the telephone buried under a pile of cushions, it had stopped ringing. She put the phone on the coffee table and turned the radio back to its former volume, then pickedup a magazine and started to read. But in a few minutes she put the magazine down again. She couldn't keep her mind on reading. Here she was, stuck at home baby-sitting. It was her birthday, too. So what was she doing about it? Nothing. Her parents had gone to a party and had left her at home with her three small brothers. It was terrible. She had had to turn down three invitations to parties tonight just so she could baby-sit. She was brought back from her thoughts of how unlucky and unhappy she was by the recurrent ringing of the telephone. She stilled the radio and lifted the receiver. Hello, she said. No one answered. Hello ?. . . Hello?. . . Who's calling please ?. . . Is anyone there? Still there was no answer. Then Melissa heard some one hang up the other phone. Maybe it was a wrong number. She decided not to worry about it any further. Be- sides, she would rather just sit around and feel sorry for herself. A few minutes later the phone rang again. This time it was Melissa's mother. She was calling to find out if Melissa had put the children to bed and if everything was all right. Melissa told her that it was and trying to sound sincere, told her mother not to worry about anything but having fun at the party. Melissa hung up and decided to try to be brave and read again. This time Melissa was interrupted by a news bulletin on the radio. The music stopped and an announcer said: All residents of Jackson City are asked to be on the lookout for a mental patient who escaped this after- noon from the Jackson City Sanitorium. He is about six feet tall and weighs about one-hundred ninety pounds. He is believed to be armed and is dangerous. If he is seen, please notify the police or the hospital officials immediately. We now return to the program in progress. The music resumed. Melissa began to read again. But true to custom the phone was not going to remain quiet. Again it rang. Melissa answered. This time a deep masculine voice answered, Is this the Nelson residence? Melissa said that it was. May I speak to your father? He's not home right now. May I take a .... Then may I speak to your mother? She's not home either. Is there any message? Uh - - - No message. He hung up. Melissa froze but tried to con- centrate on her reading. About a half hour later, after staring at a tomato paste advertisement for most of the time, Melissa suddenly started. There was someone in the basement. She was sure that the sound she had heard was the squeaking of the basement door. Then suddenly there was a terrific crash. Someone had stumbled over the shuffleboard equipment in the dark. Whoever was down there was in the playroom. What should she do? Maybe it was just the dog. If her father had not chained him to his doghouse he could have come in through the little door made for him in the basement door. It was probably just Roscoe, she thought. Maybe I ought to put him outside. But as she rose from her chair she thought of the mysterious phone calls and of the news bulletin. What if it's not Roscoe? What if it's a person? What if it's that man? Then what shall I do ? There is nobody home but me. What if something were to happen? Then, summoning all her courage she crept to the top of the basement steps. ls anybody there ? She called. No answer. Then she heard Roscoe bark. She felt reassured. Then suddenly. . . she heard the footsteps. They seemed to be comingntoward the bottom of the steps. She reached for her brother's baseball bat in the broom closet where she had put it when she had cleaned the kitchen. If anyone had to protect the home it had to be she. Her brothers were her responsibility. Slowly she began to descend the steps. Her heart was in her mouth as each one creaked beneath her weight. The sound had never seemed to be so loud before. There seemed to be about three times as many steps as she had remembered. Her heart was beating furiously andthe noise of her heart- beat seemed to be reverberating through the whole house. Her head felt as if it were expanding and contracting and as if it would burst. Her knees were like water and she felt that they would not support her much longer. Her hands were clammy and the bat was slipping from her grasp. Her breathing was hard and forced. The footsteps in the playroom had stopped - - - at the foot of the stairs! She was almost at the bottom now. She reached the last step and said a quick, silent prayer, then stepped into the playroom. Suddenly she felt a very large hand on her shoulder. The bat slipped from her hands. She screamed hoarsely and blacked out. When she came to, she opened her eyes to see her father looking down at her. Lord, Melissa, I'm sorry we scared you. We planned this surprise party for your birthday, but we didn't plan to scare you like this. Then Melissa looked around. She saw all her friends. They had all been invited to her party. They had made the noises getting into the playroom. And she had nearly died of fright. She felt all right now and sat up. She was ready to celebrate her birthday. ' -- Margaret Gravois '64 Editor's Note: Speech delivered on Ring Night. For almost four years, with the help of our parents, our teachers, and our friends, we have been striving to attain a certain goal. The Ursuline ring marks the near completion of this task, for it is the symbol of the culmination of our efforts. It is the compact of many wonderful memories, many proud moments, and the fulfillment of a glorious dream. In the inexperience of our youth, it represents the epitome of success. But perhaps in a few years, we will more clearly realize that to those who know us now, it is another step in the development of the child into the woman. But with every honor comes a responsibility. With this ceremony comes the greatest responsibility we have ever been asked to undertake, for the wearer of this ring must endeavor to exemplify at all times, the courage and purity of St. Ursula, the knowledge of St. Angela, and the sound principles and teachings of her Ursuline mothers. But most important of all, since we here at Ursuline are children of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, the ring must distinguish a girl who proves herself worthy of this title, and who, in the eyes of our Heavenly Mother, strives always to be a True follower of Jesus Christ. And now that the long awaited moment has drawn near, and our cherished hopes are about to be realized, we ask of you, who have helped fulfill them, a prayer to our Heavenly Father, so that having merited this reward we might continue to be deserving of this honor. . . . Ann Guenther '62 IT Right now you are probably saying to yourself, It is a very odd title for a composition. I wonder why she entitled it 'It '? And now you are as confused as I was when I finished planning this composition. Why did I choose to name this composition It ? Because that's what it's about - It ? But let's stop a while and examine this word and see if we can't clear things up a bit. When we look at this tiny word, we see it is composed of an I and a T, We know from out study of grammar that it can be a subject pronoun and an object pronoun. We know that it is the most common pronoun in use today. And this is the main reason I chose to write about it - because we use this word hundreds of times a day and thousands of times a week, but can anyone tell me just what does this tiny word mean? Oh, I know it takes the place of a noun, but just what does it mean when it's used to mean something that isn't a noun? Such as It is necessary to be careful while driving, or 'It behooves you to study, or even, You're gonna catch it if you don't behave yourself. What is it ? Can mean what is that thing? of what is the matter ? or ever so many other things. But all this does not tell me what it means. What is It? What does it mean? Somebody please help me before I go mad trying to figure Q out! H E L P! -1- Nedra Pezold '62 YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT DAY 11961 Mayor Schiro had declared November 13th - 19th as Government Appreciation Week. On Tuesday I had both the privilege and pleasure of representing Ursuline in a special Youth in Government Day program, sponsored by the members fthe Optimist Tb in New Orleans. The program consisted of thirty-three re- presentatives from the various public and private schools in the city. The day began at 8:30 Tuesday morn- ing when we met in the council chamber of City Hall. The first activity was the appointment of the different offices in city government. This was done by picking names from a hat. The first name would be mayor for a day, the second councilman-at-large, and right on down the line until we had all been assigned to the duties of some particular office. Mine was the second name chosen. I was councilman-at-large, to take the place of the city official, Councilman Hickey. After all the names had been picked, our first job was to run our own mock council meeting . The real city councilmen stood behind our chairs and prompted us as when to make motions, push buttons for voting, etc. This was all ex- tremely exciting, especially the fact that we could introduce any new subject for discussion that we thought would help improve the city's government. After this meeting adjourned, we were taken on a tour of City Hall and were able to go to the office of the particular official whose duties we were taking. I was taken to the joint office of Councilman Hickey and Councilman Comiskey. Here we met the secretaries of both men who showed us around the office and explained the various transactions going on that particular day. We saw the city budget and other reports submitted to the administration. For the next hour, we were free to do whateverwe wanted. I think that the most interesting part of the day was our being present at an actual council meeting, conducted, of course, by the real city officials. After this we were taken to the Gold Room of the Roosevelt Hotel where we were honored at a luncheon. Among the guests present were Monsignor Caillouet, Mayor Schiro, the officers and members of the Optimist Club, and the guest speaker, Father Doyle, Dean of Loyola University. After the meal, Mayor Schiro pre- sented each participant in Youth in Government Day within a gold key to the city, a certificate of merit, :min engraved pen and pencil set. This brought a most enjoy- able and educational day to an end. Francine Cicero '62 SPRING AND SONG Sweetly singing, The meadow lark flies o'er the fields, And the wild flowers sharpen and brighten their colors As she tells them it is spring. Judy Fife, '64 URSULINE RING DAY What a day it has been, what a rare mood I'm ing why, it's almost like being in love. These lyrics express in a better way than I could have done the almost inexpressible feeling of joy and triumph on one of the most momentous days of my life - my receiving of the Ursuline ring. It was a day long anticipated and now that it had come it seemed so very unreal. Nevertheless it was a long and well planned day for all of us seniors. To begin the day well we all attended 11:30 a. m. Mass, which opened with the procession of white-clad seniors and, following this, the blessing of the rings. We recessed after holy mass and rushed home to dress for the luncheon at the Royal Orleans. I say we rushed home. Actually, itwas a little more than that because we had to be in the East Salon of the Hotel for 1:30 p. m. Surprisingly enough all made it pretty well on schedule and Francine Cicero, our class president, gave a short welcome to all and prayed the blessing before dinner. I know that everyone enjoyed the luncheon and as this was the first Ring Day luncheon to which the seniors' Mothers had been invited, we all felt doubly glad to have them with us. At about 3:30 P. M. we returned home to pre- pare for the very epitome of the day's joys and successes-- the reception of the ring. We had to report to school at 6:30 P. M. for individual and group pictures on stage, and at 8:00 P. M. the big moment. arrived. After ad- vancing onto the state in our white gowns, the delivery of the speeches, and the singing of the Ave Maria, the Senior Skips of '62 received their Ursuline rings and became, as it were, formally engaged to their Alma Mater. What a moment! What a day to dispel all former troubles and worries! Indeed, it was like being in love - in love with Ursuline, her name, her ideals, her practices, her devotions, in short, all that she ever has and ever shall stand for. EMBARRASSING SITUATION Whenever I think of the most embarrassing sit- uation in my life I think of the day I smuggled an ice cream cone into detention hall. Nothing much out of the ordinary had happened that day except that the principal, was displeased at the eighth grade for talking after the second bell. So we got detention right after lunch. Meanwhile I had completely forgotten about detention and bought an ice cream cone. Of course I hadn't taken two bites when it was time to go up- stairs. I should have given it away, but my yen for sweets got the better of me. By the time we were in the classroom there was only a little more left. Of course, mother would catch me, and she told me quite emphatically to get ricifit I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I took the command lit- erally in another way. I simply placed it carefully in an up- right position in my desk. But I had forgotten on thing - heat. As I sat there, breathing easily again, one girl giggled and pointed to the steady drip, drip, drip of the ice cream from the base of the cone to the floor. It wasn't long before more than half the class found out, and were they ever having fun! I just sat there, hoping and praying that Mother wouldn't notice. But I knew it was too good to last. Mother asked what was going on and walked straight to the trouble spot. At her exclamation I just sat and tried to look casually up at her which probably made Mother think I was really crazy. But Mother always was a patient and under- standing nun, and so, still staring at either me or the ice cream cone in mute disbelief, she quietly commanded that I finish the thing before the ants could. I obeyed embarrassed to the core, while my friends C?J giggled, and Mother looked at me sympathetically. You may ask, did you enjoy that ice-cream cone? Of course not! How could I with about thirty- eight pairs of eyes upon me? But I learned one good lesson from that experience: Never bite off more than you can chew in less time than you think you have , . . .

Searching, yet finding only memory, Reality has disappeared. Hkvkik He stole softly away in the silence of the ebony night, Leaving an icy loneliness In place of his once-felt warmth. Yes, he is gone, and with him my hope, my trust, my love. And all that remains is a chilled heart, Warmed only by the burning desire of memory. By Kathleen C. Taylor Diane DeGruy As we sit in the Serviam room reminiscing over the past year and rem- embering all the work that has been put forth in editing the 1962 Serviam, there comes to mind the name of those to whom we are indebted for their heartening encouragement and generous help and cooperation in putting this book together. First, we wish to thank Rev. Mother Teresita, O. S. U. , for her enlight- ening counsel. Then thanks go to Mother Columba, O. S. U. for moderating our publica- tion. But we offer special thanks to the Staff of the '62 Serviam who have all worked so hard and enthusiastically for the book. Last, but not least, goes a big thanks to Tipery Studio, Inc. for their patience and co-operation and also to many of our senior students for supply ing the pictures used in this book. Without the help of all these people, this publication would not have been possible.
