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.
