In Retrospect

{)dE

Four years o f coHege life! Anorb.er completed chapter in our autob iogra phy. The sun has set and casts a mellow g low over memories eternal a nd ever nea r. Tomorrow the sun wil l begin irs climb inro the heave ns .

Th e morning mist will shade our eager vision and g uid e us slowly, prorecring ly up roward the glory of the blazing sun. Another chapter in our life has begun.

If the chapters in our life can be compa red ro the rising and setting of the sun, surely the growth of o m co ll·e ge must have a similar story to tell. As timid Fresh men we were introduce d ro Salve R eg ina, Our Qu e·e n.

Already she had two ch ildren , M ·ercy Hall :~nd M oore Hall. W e grew ro love our M orher and her ch ildre n, :~nd secre·tly we year ned ro have a large r family. Our desires were soon to be fu lfilled.

As Sophom o res we \Vere greeted with the advent of two new sisters, M cCau l·e y H a ll and R osary Hall. Oh the prid e \Ve fel t~ Our family was truly growing, and we we re sharing in o ur .Mother's happiness. Had we reached the p eak of o ur growth, we wond ered.

Our third year at Salve R egina witnessed two m ore additions to our expanding family- Angelus Hall and Marian H all. W ·e felt the intoxi cation o f a fully sat isfy ing experience. In jus t three years our M other had presented us with three sis ters. Could we ask for m ore?

Salve R eg ina , Our Queen, was followin g the course of the sun . H er g lory has been subl im e from sunris·e tO sunset. And as it often lnppens just before the sun sets, a bright shaft of light streaks across the horizon and wakens th e dozing world. On the eve o f departure fr om our beloved family Our (2u ee n, a nd M other prese nted us with a very special gift.

S. R. C. Expands

Queen Hall Newest Acquisition Th wughout the United States today, colleges and the faci li t ies of coll eges are growing rapidly. In order to meet the grow ing demands of entering students, they must meet an equally dema nding expansion program. The United States governm ent and other federa l and private en terpr is·es unde rwrite some of the costs of this movement. The Alumnae also plays an important part in this thro ug h their contributions a nd also through the percentage of those contribu t ions. The majority of these grants from outside agencies depend upon rhe Alumnae. If they feel the coll ege is worth aiding, and rhe expans io n will be beneficial then these othe r foun dat ions come ro the aid of the part icular college.

Salve R eg ina Coll ege is no exceptio n tO this moveme nt. She, too, is expanding rapidly. P erhaps better than any other class in the College, the Class o f 1959 can see the progress already m ade in expa nsio n.

Situated on approx im ately five acres of land , the grounds are attractively landscaped with sweeping lawns, shade trees, and a rose ga rd en. The College wil l use this forty -five room building as a residence hall. In honor of M ary, Qu een of the Universe, th is building will bear the name Quee n H all.

This then is Sa lve R egina College's newest building-one which we as students will never utilize, bur it is our Alm a Mater and for an Alma M ater there is unend ing pride and love. The acquis ition of Queen H all is by no mea ns th e end of S.R .C.'s expansion-ch is program is sr i!! in its chi ld hood days. We, rhe Class of 1959, wish to see irs fulfillm en t. In wishing the fu lfillm ent, we pledge to Salve R egina College rhe Jove and prid e wh ich we have for our Alma Mater. It is this love and pride whi ch will direct us in being an ac tive participant in th is expa nsio n program in fu rure years. th~ se
