Other memories, too, were recalled . . . Faith of Our Fathers . . . The Den of Iniquity . . . Calling Mr. Sawin . .. professional ethics . . . with good discipline comes learning . . . through the tunnel . . . these walls with golden memories . . . the Christmas concerts . . . Miss O ' Don- nell ' s Dramatic Club productions . . . basketball games . . . bowling ses- sions. The first social event of the season, the climax of All College Week, was the Student Council dance. A new policy, that of giving a plaque to the class presenting the best skit, was inaugurated and the Freshmen liter- ally walked off with the prize. The bustle of getting the yearbook together quickened the pace for us. Preparing class and club write-ups, posing for the photographer, and re- visions, re-takes, conferences, inter- views, contracts, meetings ... all hastened the term and brought us to- gether again as a class for our final semester. Had any visitors dropped in unex- pectedly on December 7 or 8, they would have viewed with amazement the moving of the books to our new library. Mr. Eager; the librarians. Miss Smith and Mr. Levine; and the Stu- dent Council organized a plan which functioned smoothly. The continuous chain of students going from the old location to the new was an unfor- gettable sight. A seemingly insur- mountable task was thus quickly and efficiently accomplished because of the co-ooeration between students and faculty members. President Sullivan showed his aporeciation by rewarding the students with an extra day ' s vacation. Although we were disappointed that we would not be here to enioy the modern lounge and its facilities, we felt that the succeeding classes could never re ' lace the feeling of toaetherness that prevailed in the old lounge. Much to the delight of everyone, the social calendar announced this year that a Winter Carnival was planned. On the agenda were in- cluded a bowling tournament, snow sculpturing, a basketball game, the Snow Flake ball, and, as a culminat- ing event, a jazz concert. School spirit was at an all-time high for these events with everyone but the weather co-operating. The spring promised the long an- ticipated New York trip. Radio City, Rockefeller Plaza, the U. N. building. Times Square, Broadway plays, con- ferences with other college delegates, school visits . . . these are some of the plans devised for that occasion. The most memorable occasions of our college life were yet to come . . . Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Gradu- ation. Ineffable joys, sighs of relief, nostalgic memories, and anticipation for what the future would hold . . . all express the emotions we felt. Here we have recalled some of the experiences which make up our his- tory, the story of the Class of 1960. We were the first class to view some of the revolutionary changes that have taken place in our college. This story might be better considered a chapter in our lives, for its conclu- sion lies in the future ... a future in which we will try to fulfill our hopes and expectations, with the help of God.

wv In spite of our anxieties at the thought of approaching exams, we survived the ordeal and, filled with new aspirations, we were eager to begin the next semester. Armed with their inevitable flannel boards and with their meticulously prepared lesson plans and seatwork, the elementaries ventured forth into the teaching-learning environment. At their assigned schools for student teaching, the most fruitful and re- warding experience of the prepara- tion for teaching was realized. Oh, if Dr. Burton could only see them now! Uneasy at first, but with in- creasing confidence, they began to realize the demands and rewards that teaching would present. Meanwhile, the secondaries were by no means idle. The familiar word unit became a reality to us . . . and who did not suffer from that rare disease panelitis that semester? The gym was ready for use and the secondaries were among the first to enjoy its facilities. The campus, too, was beginning to take on a new look. Already we began to visualize what the finished product would look like. Much to the delight of the students, our long-awaited parking area was to be paved. With the exception of the lounge and library, the new build- ing was functioning smoothly. Our Junior year was all too rapidly ending and we realized with sweet sadness that our final year would soon be upon us. With this thought came a realization of the responsi- bilities and work that were yet to come. Our class elected the same officers for our Senior year and led by George Sousa and Dorothy McCarthy, our class marshals, we attended Class Day ceremonies as spectators for the last time. During the program Joan Bruazis received the gavel, which symbolized her acceptance of the presidency of the Student Advisory Council. Having successfully passed the National Teachers Examinations, and having taken the measurements for our caps and gowns, we cast aside our books and left for a well-deserved summer vacation. Hurry up please; it ' s time . . . This was the end and the beginning; the end of our carefree days of school . . . the beginning of our work in our chosen field. Reflecting for a moment on our four years at college, we realized that we had witnessed re- markable changes both in ourselves and in our surroundings. The timid and bewildered freshmen of 1 956 had become seniors who had gained poise and self-confidence. Now, at last, we were allowed to sit in the coveted balcony. The additional building, striking in appearance, was a wel- come sight this year. On October 9 we thrilled to the strains of the traditional Pomp and Circumstance as we marched into the gymnasium for the senior capping exercises symbolizing our newly- gained status. Following the cere- mony, we were honored at a tea to which parents, friends, and faculty were invited. The secondaries . . . strangers to the class this semester, since they had left for student teaching . . . were having their problems with motivation, objectives, and conclusions, while the elementaries were viewing with interest the wonders of Mother Nature.
