H w« X .. ••• • •  ? ii • d — — • ! 1 The words And only God can make a tree immortalized by Joyce Kilmer, might be fittingly applied to the phenomenal growth of Villa Maria College on its new campus. Although the College had attained an enviable educational and cultural reputation during its more than thirty years existence at its former location, physically it was severely handicapped. Only Divine guidance and the vision and courage of its founder and Chancellor Archbishop John Mark Gannon could have brought about the remarkable growth the College has enjoyed on its new campus in the short space of three years. Still the growth of the physical plant continues and within the next year more than three- fourths of the master plan will have been completed. The rapid physical expansion, functional and beautiful as it is, would be worth- less without its central purpose — the education and development of fine Christian young women. The College could never attain its purpose without a wise and provident Chan- cellor, strong administration, and scholarly and devoted faculty. MOST REV. JOHN MARK GANNON, D.D., D.C.L. Our Chancellor REV. DR. JOHN M. HICKEY Our Chaplain Philosophy and Theology Christian education takes in the whole aggregate of human life, physical and spirit- ual, intellectual and moral, individual, do- mestic, and social, not with a view of re- ducing it in any way, but in order to ele- vate, regulate and perfect it, in accordance with the example and teaching of Christ.

Social life is an essential part of college life as it develops responsibility, eases ten- sions, and prepares us for the future. But, our social life must have a deeper effect than our own pleasure, it must aid us in our ultimate goal and in the glorification of God.

This medium serves as a record for senior memories and events of the four years spent on Villa Maria College campus. Through the Magnificat, in after years, they can acquaint themselves with college life in its every aspect — spiritual, scholastic, and cultural. This year the Senior Class has a special distinc- tion, as we are the first to have completed four years at Villa Maria in its new location. For this reason we dedicate our book to the growth and progress of Villa Maria College in all of its forms and phases.

' Oh, how I remember those college gates, and the sign that welcomed us each day . . . There were those friendly greetings in the parking lot as we prepared for the busy day ahead. On our way across campus, the resident students and day stu- dents became one group as they walked to the academic building for classes ... A stop at the mailbox just outside the Administration Building was a must if we hoped to find letters in our own boxes each day . . . those few moments spent in a visit to the chapel before class made the day start right . . . What peace and serenity those days held in a protective college environment! 2) Joan U rey 3) Mary Joan Hahn, Kathleen Gallagher, Madeline Ohmer 4) Bernice Salter, Anastasia McMahon, Barbara Holley, and our mailman Thomas Rienzo 89 ' Of Joys We ' ve Shared with All ... ' Memories of lab days find the science students with their microscopes, test tubes, and bunsen burners. Their days on third floor in preparation for laboratory work seemed almost endless . . . Frequent trips to the bookstore for textbooks, pa- per, or a chance to check on the latest in reading were a major part of our college years . . . Bulle- tin boards and audio-visual aids were an impor- tant phase in our teacher education training . . . Missing biologists could usually be found in their laboratory studying anatomy and physiology through the use of the skeleton . . . Remember those four years of study and plan- ning — those years which prepared us for the re- mainder of our lives, with a balance of the spirit- ual, the social, the scholastic, and the physical. 1 ) I.eanne Justin, Anne Guelcher, Susan Tirpak 2) Ann McCoy, Joan Fenstemaker 3) Patricia Lott 4) Patricia Wishnok, Mary Ann Squire 90 ' We Long to Know the Tranquil Peace . . . Looking back, how valuable those extracurri- cular preparations have become! The Monday morning assemblies with their guest speakers gave inside views into future professions and commu- nity activities . . . Preparation for dinners, re- ceptions, and teas was emphasized in the home economics curriculum. Planning and preparing occasional meals for resident students was always a thrill . . . After formal classes we spent much of our ' ■free time in the curriculum library in eager anticipation of our days behind the desk . . . Often after dinner we got together in the talker for a song fest or practice for an assem- bly program. 1) Rt. Rev. Msgr. W. L.

' We spent many leisure hours working and chatting in the casual atmosphere of the Activi- ties Room. Here many friendships were made and many pleasant hours spent in recreation . . . Learning to run the projectors proved an asset as we viewed films for both education and entertain- ment . . . The Art Room became a source of instruction and relaxation for many during our college years. It offered enjoyment for those who studied as well as those who observed the finished product. The beautiful foyer of the Academic Building was the scene of many receptions following Cul- tural Series events, the setting for many pictures, and the appropriate atmosphere for many college functions and programs, such as the Hanging of the Greens and the Rose Night Ceremony. 1) Joan Hersperger, Mary Burghart, Thelma Strobel 2) Maren Schmidt, Georgette Schley 3) Nancy Gentile 4) Eileen Schmitt, Donna Donatucci, Sylvia Calabrese 92 ' Hail to Thee, Alma Mater . . . ' Those casual places were so important as a part of college life — the locker room where we greeted friends and bade good-byes, the lunch line where we eagerly waited our sandwiches, sal- ads, and desserts, and the ping-pong room where we found a few minutes of relaxation before eve- ning studies. In the lobby of the Administration Building we renewed friendships at the end of our day of stu- dent teaching, field work, and clinical experience at the hospital. And so the senior year culminated much as the freshman year began, in the distinc- tive foyer of the Administration Building. And we came to the end of another day, the end of a journey, too. And we found at the end of each perfect day — the soul of a friend we made. 1) Geraldine Wisniewski, Janice F.sser 2) Mary Gausman, Marilyn Accardi, Sandra Sabino, Lucille Gillick, Christine Zoebisch 3) Joyce Spring, Jo- Ann Gates 4) Claudia Paulus.

Luke i. 46-47 As night casts its shadow over Villa Maria College campus we feel secure under the protection of our Lady. We realize that this night is but a preparation for another bright day to come. Likewise Commencement for the Class of 1965 is really a beginning. As Our Lady ' s Magnificat was her song of a joy yet to be fulfilled, so our Magnificat echoes the joy of four years that are but the first chapter in our adult lives. ... Your name we will cherish more and more Hail, Villa Maria, Hail. 94 MOST REV. EDWARD P. McMANAMAN, D.D., LL.D., V.G. Our Friend and Counselor Your memory will be deeply etched in the hearts of all at Villa Maria College who knew and loved you. May your soul rest in gentle peace. 95 PATRONS Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F.
