Seniors - Ending and Beginning Now the moment is here, the moment of summation and conclusion. In full acceptance we yield to this strange moment and allow memory to dissolve time. It is September, 1943. This college atmosphere was so different e living in a dormitory, jaunting about with girls from New York, Billings, and Chicago, being part of an institution of uhigher learning. Ever the bewildered blithe Fresh- men, we were soon introduced to the spirit of the Col- lege of Saint Teresa. One morning at four-thirty the obliging Sophomores Charitably undertook the duty of orientation. After that day we were no longer Freshmen at the College e we were veterans. Assuming an exec- utive air we elected our class officers, who proved themselves to be eHicient. We were prepared for the coming year. The memories flood back, and the inundation is one of compassing joy. There were many small things, many significant moments, and they merged flttingly to com- prise a year of happiness. Perhaps you remember the HPirates of Penzance, our first class production. CGil- bert and Sullivan never had a better cast, to say nothing of the stage hands who, although they could not manage pitch, did a beautiful bit of work with benches and laddersQ Then the hilarious joy of winning the basketball tournament, the humble pride as we lent our voices to the rendition of the Freshman Mass on Laetare Sunday, the enveloping peace of our first college retreat, the depth of gratitude as we joined hands one spring morning and pronounced in unison the pledge of loyalty to the ideals of the College of Saint Teresa e our Col- lege. With the memory of that pledge still in our hearts, we bade each other farewell, shouting promises of regular correspondence, and then we separated for points east, south, north, and west. , One year had done wonders for us. We had become college women, or at least we thought we had become college women. Our teachers realized that the process of achieving maturity would take a few more years, but nothing was said, and unknowingly we were still being guided gently. We returned from vacation with an air of sophistication. When we encountered a Fresh- man, we patronizingly introduced ourselves as Sopho- mores. Our first momentous project as a class was the publication of the Campanile. We gladly joined our edi- tor in gathering items of news about the campus, and it was great fun. The staff party was the climax of our work. COh, those banana sandwiches Dr. Murphy and Miss Miller madeD At Christmastide we undertook the production of HThe Children of Bethlehem. Can there be a purer joy than that of singing the praises of the Infant Who held the worlds salvation in His hands? Page Seventeen

It was later in the year that we presented HThe Hound of Heavenf, We sang the story of a soul that emerged from a Hmist of tears to respond to the words TTArise, take my hand and come. We learned much from that activity; we shall remember much. Throughout the year there were dances Cdiscussed for weeks afterwardsl picnics, basketball tournaments, and the never-to-be- forgotten frenzy of examination week. Overnight we developed into reserved, preoccupied students. Then came the day when we were given our gold gowns. We were justifiably proud, for now we had become steeped in the atmosphere of the College of Saint Teresa. We were upperclassmen. We left that year with a wealth of cherished friendships and the promise of a fruitful Junior year. That year mu fruitful. Our greatest work was the edition of the Aldz'ne. We held food sales, wrote and rewrote copy, solicited advertisements, and sponsored dances, the most memorable of which was our circus dance, which, incidentally, assisted in giving us that Ucollege air. Our class produCtion for the year was the HNightingale, a joyous crowning with song of a year that had knit us together into a Senior class. Page E i ghteen It was marvelous, really, to note the difference be- tween our flrst and our last return. There was no hint of that great superiority we felt as Sophomores, only an acceptance of Senior responsibilities. This year has seen the cementing 0f friendships, the crystallization of ideals, the development of plans for the future, and the realization of the valuable assets with which we have been equipped at this college nestled in the bluffs of Minnesota. In this year we have proudly witnessed the accomplishments of our music majors at their various recitals, we have been privileged to help lay the founda- tion of the student council at the College, we have pre- sented a masterly arrangement of Jacapone da Todi's UStabat Mater Dolorosa, we have edited our last copy as students at Saint Teresa with the publication of lee Teremn Cemer. This year has been a good year. This year has been a year of memories, memories that are rooted in four years of college life. We shall cherish these memories; we shall be jealous of them. We bid farewell to the College of Saint Teresa, knowing that our separation can never be complete. One cannot be separated from that which is truly Saint Teresais, the Franciscan spirit.
