campaign,
Golden Jubilarian Honored
Joyce Kozak won the Student Government Association's top leadership position after a colorful campaign of stump speaking, torrents of posters, motorcades, and unique electioneering gimmicks by both contenders. The blond Jersey-ite whose platform stressed her previous SGA experience and a strengthening of student government, used the famous "JEK" initials as a clever eye-catcher. Runner-up, Mary McCollough's three story, streamer- signs were a campus first in attention-getting. Kathleen McKaig gained the vice-presidency and Terry Girard, who man3:ged the new president's campaign with Ronnie Lindhart, will serve as Student Activities Coordinator. All of the winning candidates bring to Student Council rich leadership backgrounds, and Joyce feel they will form a good team for close cooperation next year. Present Student Government President, Marie Mealing, praised the enthusiasm of all the candidates, but pointed out a loss of interest in the later nominating sessions. "The constitutional amendment committee is examining the cumbersome, drawn out system of nominating," reported Marie.

"Does Mother know about this?" The greatest worry that pressed upon students in the last days' prep aration for the Jubilee Celebration of Laetare Sunday was th at the guest of honor might not be surprised. The difficulty of keeping-"at least this"- a secret was a lesson all the Jubilee enthusiasts finally re alized. Although the very magnitude of April twenty-fifth's celebration made it inevitable that the pre sident be aware of the coming events, their actua l taking place _held an element of surprise for.everyone-including Mother Ur su~, Jubilarian. ~V_o_I._V_I~,_N_o_._4 ________ Each moment, every step, a corner turned, a smiling face in the crowd, another introduction - brough t added happiness to the beaming nun .

Paraphrasing Words worth Mother recalled the bliss of being called tb serve the Lord as a Missionary Sister of the Sacred Heart in 1915. "Decade rolled upon decade, graduations piled up high, world wars were fought and won, depressions came and went, and through it all I enjoyed my life as a mm and my work as a religious teacher ," she said, explaining this enjoyment as part of the hundredfold promised in the Gospel. Mother Ursula admitted that no life is without problems, yet claimed these were an infinitely small portion compared to the benefits and joys of her life. Climaxing her remarks , the nun, who was one of the last. to be received into the Institute by St . Cabrini, shared with the thousand guests the most poignant sentiment of the Jubilee, "So on this fiftieth anniversary of my entrance into the convent I am above all else profoundly and humbly grateful to Almighty God for all His help and many blessings of religious life."

Car Presentation Mother then expressed her deep gratitude to her Institute for affording her an extraordinary opportunity for service. Amid glitterin:g gold garlands, guests, par,ents, fr iends, and alumnae extended persona] con_ gratulations to Mother Ursula at the Sacred Heart Hall reception following the concert. Most of those on the formal receiving line had assisted at the Mass of Thanksgiving at eleven o'clock that morning in St. Jose,pih's Chapel. His Excellency, the Most Reverend John J . Graham, D.D., Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia, celebrant, explained th _e wonderful
gift of a religious vocation in a stirring Jubilee sermon . At an earlier College Community Mass, celebrant, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Edward T. Hughes, Superintendent of Schools of the Archdiocese, commended Mother President for her years of service in the apostolate. . ... After Mass, Audrey McGinn, Senior Class President and student head of the Library Fund Campaign, presented Mother Ursula the keys to a shiny 1965 Ford, gift of the student body who smiled and cheered at the courtyard presentation. Father Groppi ,blessed the gold ribboned automobile. Mother
Ursula, behind the wheel, took Reverend Mother Edmund', Superior, for a "still run" and then welcomed a group of Seniors to try out the new Ford's interior. Mother Catherine; M..s.c., Dean of Women, welcomed the students to a breakfast in Grace Hall following the car presentation. Pat Raineri and the SGA Breakfast Committee reported that the serving went smoothly, if not historically. No one ever remembered the student body in academic gowns balancing coffee, donuts, and mortarboards in Grace Hall Stmoker, claimed Pat. All this while SGA Jubilee
commJttees were working or preparing for action. A gold ribbon imprinted with the word "Cabrini" was selected by Mother Gervase, M.S.C., Academic Dean and administration organizer for the celebration, to set off the celebrating students from the hundreds of visitors on campus that day. Student leaders distributed these and over one hundred and fifty gold sparkled, white carnation corsages to reception hostesses, guides, buffetbrunch hostesses, concert usher ettes, and a myriad of other SGA personnel who greeted and cared for the Jubilee guests.

Blood Transfusion Technique Perfected; Corrects . R-HDisease inUnborn Inf ant By Regina Rusinyak Dr. Lfley of Colu,mbia University, New York City, ftrst successfully tranfused a human fetus in 1963. Other physicians are now administering tranfusions with an equal degree of master_y. This technique is used after the thirty-third week for the unborn baby suffering from erythroblastosis fetalis, the commonly known Rh blood disease. The mother's blood is Rh negative while there are Rh factors present in the baby with Rh positive blood. If any of these factors diffuse through to the mqther's circulatory system, the mother's system produces microscopic anti-bodies that attack the baby's red blood cells. Rarely does this child, whose •body is swollen with fluids, live to birth. If it does, there is the possibility of giving the .baby several comple transfusions to remove the anti-bodies. Instead of inducing labor or performing a Caesarian section in order to remove the fetus from its anti-body laden environment before it dies, Dr. Liley has given the baby a transfusion before it is born. By use of eadio-opaque dye visible in x-rays, red cells of type _Onegativ~. which will not be attacked by anti-bodies. are injected mto the circulatory system of the unborn child. The doctor's skill is crucial as he inserts the long hollow transfusion needle into the baby's peritoneal cavity through the mother's abdomen, as care must be taken not to injure a vital orgap. Once in place, the needle receives a thin hollow tube through wh~ch are slowly fed three to five ounces of the negative red •blood cells. Sufficient .blood must be used to nourish the baby and supply the placenta, the vital source of nutrition to which the new life is linked. Thus far Dr. Liley and his associates have succ~sfully admin_ istered over thirty such transfusions. The technique may be repeated if necessary, completely transfusing the circulatory system of the child. After birth, the baby manufactures its own Rh positive blood. As spectas:ular as this operation may seem, doctors now believe that a bone marrow transplant which will strengthen the blood manufacturing activity during the fetal stage will be common in the near future. (SCIENCE DIGEST, Marc,h, 1965, pp. 72-75 gives a detailed account of this new technique.)

Classes Assist In Library Finances; Contest Spurs Enthusiastic Returns It took only a moment ,to hand the sealed envelope containing the Hbrary ·fund purse to the smiling Jubilarian. Few of the onlookers at Slunday's concert reailized the story of the sm:all brown bank book receipted !oir $6,000 within that envelope. Early in .the Fall t erm the Reverend Ugo Groppi, Chaplain, began a series of meetings with students, faculty :members and adlminist ,rators discussing ,the aiP:propriate manner of honoring Reverend Mother Ursula, M.S.C., col1ege president, for fifty yea ,rs of service in religious life . Out of the suggestions, polls, in,sptrations and rejec.tions, developed the idea to work toward a gift closest to Mother's inner'IlllOst desire. Ev.e.ryone knows of the president's deep concern for the complete accreditation of Carini by the Middle S'tates Associa:tion and of the impor.taruce of a new library building to this end. Crashing oaks and persistent bulldozers opposite Sacred Hea ,rt Hall proved .the chief ad:ministrato.r's determination to make .that edifice more than "developmental plans" . Thus the decision was reached; a burse for the library fund would be the primary material gift presented on Laetare Sunday. cihairUnder ,the honorary manship of Reverend Mother Edmunda, M.S.C., Superior, and the direction of Father Groppi, the student head of 1lhe Library Fund Drive Campai ,gn, Audrey McGinn, supervised the mammourth task of raising :llunds
through a souvenir journal. Initial enthusiasm leve1ed off dose to Christmas vacation according to student members of the executive commi t tee, Joyce Kozak, Marie Schmidt and Mary Sica. New life was injected into the no-longer secret drive in January following mass student meetings, publicity promotions, and contest competition . A giant "Brickometer" recording class leyels greeted students outside the SGA office. Molly Gorman .and Barbara Boudouin joined Audrey in ,contacting Seniors, undaunted by the fact that ,they wer .e still student teaching. Mary Jane Smith and Eileen Currie backed Joyce's efforts to rai •se the Junior class marker above the early high returns of the Seniors. Gail Falcone and Tina Savarese served! .the Siopihomore B ,a r b a r a commH'1:ee while Schneider and Marilyn Maggio worked for the first year group. Besides phone ,calls, personal
visits, written lett ·ers, and investiga'1:ion of all possible benefactors, a :prize drawing was devised for each student who returned her promised twenty-five dolla:r ad quota . Gail Serafin, quota conltest grand priz ,e winner, gained a Winter Carival Weekend, compliments of Henryville Lodge in the Poconos, with skiing at Oaimelback, Mary Ann Wysocki, Audrey McGinn and Mary Jane Smith .each won complimentary dinners for two at the Old Lamp Post Inn , Chetwynd Restaurant and Martini's. Mkhele Rusinyak received · the fifteen dollar Lord and Taylor gift certifica.te donated by Mir. 1and Mrs. Anthony 'D'Esposito. Barbara Schneider and Dona Ulisse, Freshmen, arranged the quota contest details and prizes. The Junior class' fast-weekend canvassing before the deadline, led by Joyce, Terry Glr,ard and Ronnie Lindhart, helped bring the coveted holiday prize to ,that class. Bo.th Seniors and Juniors topped the 100% quota mark with 105% and 112% re ·~eotiveliY. The Fu'eshmen placed third with 88% of tiheir quota; the S ophomores totaled 77%.

It seems like only yesterday that the class of 1966 assembled in the foyer of Cabrini Hall.. Each girl in cap and gown wore a smile for, in one hour, she would be sporting her college ring . That was the first Sunday of this semester, and the Juniors were embarking on their first college week. The tears of Sunday were replaced the next night by gales of laughter as the class produced a Variety Show featuring Eppie Lo and the Sea-Surfers. The next day were classes, maybe, followed by Freshman-Junior party in the college cafeteria. Wednesday night found the class assembly at the Inn of the Four Falls, their minds already wandering to the upcoming weekend. Most of Thursday night was spent in jittery anticipation and in con. firming last minute dates. Now the time spent at the barn and Radnor Valle y Countr y Club are but fond memories stored in the hearts of those who shared the weekend with the class of ninteen-hundred and sixty-six.

Cri tical views both illusionary and disillusionary on the background and the decade of the thirties were discussed by novelist-critic-poet , James T. Farrell on April 26. Mr. Farrell opened his discussion with a few minutes of silence in memory of John F,. Kennedy. Mr . Farrell read two of his poems and his own epitaph , He is a man who has a purpose to his art, a dedication to humimity, and a longing to touch the human mind and preserve dignity. He described the 1890's as the be. ginning of realism, post World War II as an era of disillusion with a social stress. Post World War II was entrenched in blood and mud and was a period of instability and fear. Mr. Farrell stressed a positive attitude toward life . "It doesn't matter if you're a success or failure as a writer , God doesn't hand out awards for literary ac_ colades ," he claimed.. He sees himself as close to the people who lived in the era of the misery of working people and "their" simple peasant honesty.
Colonel Keith Felthon and Major Woodside chat with Mother Ursula and Mother Gervase after the Valley Forge Concert. General Milton Baker, Superintendent of the Valley Forge Military Academ y, presented Mother Ursula with a unique Jubilee gift , a concert by the Valley Forge Military Band and Chorus on Monday, April 5, 1965. The fifty-four piece ·band, under the direction of Colonel Keith Felton, offered a variety of selections including "Ave Ma"Halleuli,a ria" and Handel's Chorus" and lighter melodies from the "Sound of Music" and ''He ll o Dolly." A seventy -five member chor -
us, directed and accompanied by Major Woodside, presented a group of songs predominantly religious in tone, including "Michael Row the Boat Ashore" and "The Battle Hymn Of the Republic." Marie Mealing, President of the Student Government Association , expressed to General Baker the wish that the close and spirit which has co-operative existed between Valley Forge and Cabrini will be strengthend ev en more in the futur e.
Dominican Republic ,Coup . by Claire Burrows Since President Johnson's speech last Sunday, various news commentators have tried giving the public the impression that there is much criticism by foreign countries and by American citizens concerning the stand taken by our President. However, through learning the names of these countries and individuals who are so quick, or should I say so "anxious" to downgrade the U.S., the importance of our giving full support to our leader's present foreign policy must be recognized. The obvious reason for this is that the critics turn out to be none other than countries such as Russia , Cuba , Red China, Cambodia and France. The word "countries," fortunately, is not to be taken literally, for certainly the opinions of enslaved peoples are not reflected by the statements of their communist and pro-communist leaders. In regard to France, even an ex-premier of this land, Pierre Pflimin attacked the pres. ent ruler of France this month for the policies DeGaulle has been incorporating into his government which, as the former premier stated "tend to weaken the solidarity of the free world.'" Our eyebrows should not be raised by the fact that persons within our own country have denounced President Johnson for his present sound foreign policy in the Dominican Republican and Viet Nam. Considering the large number of communists in the United States who have been successful in attaining positions in which they are able to influence public opinion, this sort of thing is not surprising although it is rather tragic. Americans must realize that if the communist aggressors are not greatly deterred in their pre sent attempts, scores of explosions similar to those in the Dominican Republic and Viet Nam will be popping up in free lands. Ponder the words of President Johnson, "We will not buy peace ,at the price of losing freedom, anywhere at any time."

Congratulations FromTheStudentBody
AnOpen Letter ofThanks Dear Mother Ursula,
In expressing our congratulations to you on the occasion of your Golden Jubilee as a spiritual daughter of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini, it seems most fitting to think how you exemplify the brave and generou's spirit of your foundress. Just as she was led by her love of Christ to pioneer in a new missionary venture, so you confidently undertook the founding of Cabrini College, for which we shall always be grateful to you. And for the generosity in helping us to build upon your foundation, we thank you. The encouragement you .provided us in the pursuit of excellence we shall always remember, always try to continue both here at Cabrini and later in our own lives. Because you gave so freely of yourself in religious life, God enabled you to give as freely to us. In appreciation of your dedicated love we want to express our best wishes on the attainment of your Fiftieth Anniversary as a Missionary Sister of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. With Mother Cabrini you can say to Christ, "You know that my heart has always been yours," and with her we want you to know, Dear Mother Ursula, that our hearts will always be yours.
Symbol of Love By Ann Marie Parisi There you are Dressed in white Singing songs of love Love that is different to the world. You enter a different path of life, Not walking in gay ideals of the world But a higher level of love You give up the things of materiality You enter and a door closes Light is shut-out But a brighter array enters Things of value approach You stay for a period of time Preparation is taking place Love and learning acquires a new value And you're about to depart Now, a door opens You walk a path Not dressed in white But clothed in black.
Our Senio·rs Bid Farewell A .gate looms before us - the gate which will close on: our academic life here at Cabrini. At first it signified an exciting adven_ ture; today, it is a panorama of memories. We remember y.ou, Mother Ursula, when, as freshmen we became "your .girls". You charged us to 'live up to the ideals of a Cabrini College Woman. S1ophomore year, for ,the frrst time, we realized the significance of the words spoken for your feast day. Junior year we rejoiced with you when the news of accreditation aririved. This year, presents it.he most significant of our book o·f ~mories. Our last memory of you will be graduation. As the gate clloses, ,let us only say: "Let all who enter love and cherish it as muoh as we."

Jubilee
(Continued from Page 1) A buffet-brunch in Sacred Heart Hall followed the eleven o'clock Mass. Mary McCullough with more than a dozen committee members assisted Mr. Nick Denaro and staff for the affair. SimJUltc:neously, a private reception in the state dining room and foyers of the mansion gave noted educators from neighboring institutions, benefactors, and faculty families the opportunity to greet the Jubilarian. Unknown to the campus guests, within the convent cloister Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Mother Ursula's sisters in Christ, congratulated the guest of honor. One of the first r;ifts for which Mother thanked the assembly in her Jubilee address was the three hour concert. The Cabrini College Glee Club and Maestro Carl Suppa, Director of the Club and of The Philadelphia Opera, Theatre, had dedicated the Spring Concert fo the President. Framed by a special gold curtain, the vocal group opened the program with "A Hymn to Music," an adaptation of Chopin's "Etude in E Flat Major" by Ringwald . A packed house delighted to the club's selections from "Mary Poppins " , and was engrossed in "The Voice of Freedom ," an adapta tion of Rubenstein's "Kamenoi-Ostrow" by Pierre Caillet. The applause for Bizet's "Agnus Dei" outdid the audience "s reception of all the numbers. Mr. Giovanni Consiglio, dramatic tenor and former student at the famous Conservatory of San Pietro a Ma.iella in Naples, sang arias from Verdi's "Forza del Destino" and from "L' Africana." Carol Toscano, coloratura soprano who has sung with the San Francisco Opera Company, brou,gh,t Donezzetti's "Don Pasquale" and "Lucia di Lammermoor" to the audience through selected arias.. Following her rendition of "Caro Nome" from "Rigoletto" and an aria from the "Barbiere de Sh;iglia," a:pplause brought the young artist back for an encore. The program showed versatility.. The Madrigalists, a se-
lected vocal group from the Glee Club presented a folk song medley to the accompaniment of Tom Picardo , gui tarist . Sister Arousiag Sajonian, C.I.C ., studen t at Cabrini College , present_ ed a piano solo, Asturas-Leyenda, "Preludio" by I. A1beniz. While Dr.. Suppa directe .d the glee club, Loretto M. Koch accompanied the group on the concert grand piano; Dr. Suppa played for the guest artists, Miss
Toscano and Mr. Consiglio. Twenty-four hours after the Jubilee Celebration a delighted shriek pierced Sacred Heart Hall Cafeteria as the guest of honor of the day before lengthened the Easter vacation time. In a brief thank you speech, Mother Ursula announced to the lunching faculty and students that her reciprocal gift to them would be the Monday and Tuesday of Holy Week.

Scholar Clarifies'Hamlet' In Reply to Soph's Query Internationally reknown Shakespearean scholar G. B. Harrison recently replied to a Cabrini sophomore's query about a problem in Hamlet which Mr. Annunziato's Shakespeare class were discussing.
SUE SC~NLON. pictured with ~rs. Helen Goodwin, coach, the only Semor on the team, was reigning captain for the 1965 basketball season. Sue has played forward for her four years of college, and is known to teamm,i.tes and basketball rooters as the lt;ast-tiring and fastest-moving mem,ber of the team. One of the h1!l'h scorers of the t~am for four years, Sue will certainly be missed next season. Good Lucik in the future, Sue. JEAN REILLY, Junior, the of original head-band ~mber the team, is famous for her book shot. Jean plays forward and has head-lined the Varsity for three years. We are still looking forward to seeing her again next year, for she has succeded in adding a certain zest to the spirit of our Blue and White.
RO BIMBO, Junior, and officer In the Athletic Association, has played the position of forward quite successfully for the past three years. Ro, known for her one-handed pop-shot from the outside, Is an accurate shooter with a Playhigh-scoring record. maker of the team, this darkhaired basketball enthusiast doesn't waste steps on the court. The future teachers on the Varsity, Ro, Betty, and Jean, will be student teaching next spring - right in the middle of the basketball season. How this will affect scheduling and practice, neither they nor Mrs, Goodwin are quite sure.
TRISH BOGAN, Sophomore, is the team's forward who is known for her all famous drives. Trish has driven past some of the best guards in the college league. This shar .p-eyed, lay-up shooter has shown such . potential in her two years on the team, that there is every hope that bigger and better th~ngs will come from Trish in the next two years.
BARBARA SCHNEll)ER, a newcomer to the Blue and White Varsity is its tallest member. A Freshm;an, who has not had basketball experience, plays guard, and is working closely with Mrs. Goodwin on ball skills. Although a novice, Barbara has seen action on the cour.t because of the height she adds to rebounding. She has shown great enthusiasm and determination, assuring us that she will not be a bench-warmer in the future.
PAT STILLMAN, Sophomore, has developed a strong back-guard position. But she is not limited to this position; diversity is one of her athletic qualities. An acco~lished atht'ete, this tall blonde plays both forward and guard successfully. She has also coached a winning high school team. Bad news for the varsity! Pat will no longer be a member of Cabrini's team; she is leaving Cabrini to teach. We wish Pat the best of luck in her future pursuit, but we have to be honest and say that her loss will be felt on the team.
BETTY McGOVERN, Junior, a varsity member since her arrival at Cabrini, plays guard usually in the back guard position with Pat. Betty, a steady player, is known for looking her "unco-ordinated coordination." Betty holds the title on the team as being the only member that is engaged; however, the other players hope to join the title holders.
CLA Gathers Monsignor John G. Clancy, noted biographer of the Holy Father, told the guests of the Catholic Author Luncheon that most Catholics would simply talk about the amazing changes within the church today. Very few, claimed the author of Apostle for Our Time: Pope Paul VI, would put these changes into practice. Father Clancy's stimulating and challenging address climaxed the eighteenth annual presentation by the Pennsylvania Unit of the Catholic Library Association at the Sheraton Hotel in Philadelphia last February. Attending from Ca,brini were Mother Alacoque, M.S.C., Assistant Librarian; Mother Gregory, M.S.C., and Ruth Ann Thomaset_ :ti, sophomo ,re. They also ,participated in the morning's university and college section at which Donald A. Giannella, editor of ''Religion and the Public Order" explained the trend toward government assistance of private Speakin~ on the education. "Changing Perspectifes on Separation of Church," the Villanova University law scholar said that higher costs in education as well as rising taxes are being felt by private education. "It becomes more and more unthinkable that government would not come to the aid of private education," claimed Mr. Giannella.
Several weeks ago when the Shakespeare class discussed the death scene in Hamlet, sophomore Maura Curran asked whether Hamlet thought before the duel he was forgiven by Laertes .for accidentally murdering Polonius, (V. 2. 236-64). After the class discussed the question without coming to any definite conclusion, Mr. Annunziata suggested that Maura write directly to the author of the Shakespeare class text Professor G . B. Harrison at th~ Univer .. sity of Michigan, for a clarifying explanation. Maura did and received a courteously prompt letter with an enlightening ex-
planation. In his reply the scholar, who is described in Twentieth Century Authors as "one of the most eminent of contemporary Shakespearean critics," wrote: "Hamlet has no thought either here or at any time that perhaps Laertes might be feeling revengeful toward himself-which is perhaps rather innocent of Hamlet, but then the death of Polonius was really an accident.. ... " Professor Harrison explained that "Hamlet is here apologizing for his behaviour at the graveside of Ophel,ia when he lost his temper with Laertes .. . ." The author cautioned against expecting ''too much rigid consistency from Shakes ¡peare" and added that "so long as the scene which is being played goes over convincingly, he is not always careful to see that a later scene is always consistent." Commenting on Hamlet's inconsistency, Dr. Harrison said "Hamlet when thinking about the crime of his uncle may be and often is a regular Elizabethan venger . At other times he is just a nice Christian . And again at other times a puzzled agnostic. And again quite sadistically ruthless, as when he takes such satisfaction in the thought that Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are going to have such a nasty shock when they land in England." In closing his letter Professor Harrison remarked: "there is always a difficulty in Hamlet whatever view you take; and there are about a dozen quite different possible interpretations, all of which can be argued about 70 per cent convincingly-and 30 per cent of the evidence is against them. That is what makes Shakespeare so interesting!" Associate professor Annunziata was deiighted to have his class see the response and interest of scholars to sincere quests for
Cheerleaders Enthusiastic "Come on blue! Come on white!" rang out as the auditorium thundered with hopes of victory as Cabrini's cheerleaders ,ralUed behind the team. Under the leadership of ca1P,tain K•athy White, Lydia Audino, Marsha Howe, Annette Hughes, Betty Lucas, Alice MiteheH, and Rosanne V,ertucci, the group provided the push behind :the girls basketball team. The girJs who traveled to all the games encouraging the team when the student body was unable to attend, executed such cheers as the intricate "Slha,rp" and the new "Viictory" with precision and pep. Now that the season is over and the white sweaters and navy skirts are !P:acked away you can still hear the echo of their voices fo ,anticipation of next year's victori~s.

Even surprise tests didn't dull the enthusiasm of Junior Weekend complete with barn dance, formal and Ring Ceremony. No one could say "hello" without having a blue stone ring thrust in front of her face. Then, it was time to say goodbye to another class with the Junior-Senior Dinner . Awards were given, songs sung and impersonations portrayed . With that graduation, you were Seniors, no longer Juniors. Try to remember the last Septemeber of your Cabrini career, SGA elections had been held and you were the leading figures on campus. A
yearbook staff was appointed and it signified the beginning of the end. Clubs and activities went into full swing with Seniors as the leading officers . For the last time you got to sample Nick's Christmas dinner. You got the babies for the or_ phan's party. You were the first in line at meals. Semester break seemed all too short for most of you were preparing for Student Teaching. We didn't see too many of you around_ some were in New York; others left at 6: 30 A.M, to make first class. One good thing - you didn't have mid-terms; . only double work trying to catch up. Of course , the next big thing was last week - Senior, Week. Sunday you were welcomed by the Alumnae. The Freshmien gave you some idea of how you appeared to us - your fellow students. Tuesday was the Junior - Senior Dinner.

BEGINNING OF END
SENIORS SEE SELVES
May - the month before June! It is the month for Seniors. It is the last time girls who have been closely associated for four years reflect upon the past and plan for the future . What better way to end college days than by Senior Week, May 3-8? On Monday, the freshmen paid tribu te with Senior Impressions a night where intima te secret s were reveal ed. Tuesday night is a change of pace with the Junior - Senior banquet. Advice and treasures were willed "voluntarily" and humorously. On Wednesday night cooperating teachers joined Seniors for the Student Teacher Dinner . Snifters from Sophs The Sophomore class dance will be remembered by the favors of brandy snifters trimmed with silver . Our little sisters invited · us to a dance at the Andorra Springs Golf and Tennis Club. Prior to the dance, Phyllis Ciaccio had the Senior class gather, to make sure of attendance at the dance. Pickles or Mustard? Saitundlay was [Picnic time in the park-time - Valley Forge's, of course.. Culminating the day as well as the week, DeFrancesco's barn welcomed the Senior class for a night of gaity and dancing to the music of the Vanguards. The week was over; the month will fly; before you know it, it's June - the month after May.
The Freshman Class gave their impression of the Senior Class of 1965 on Monday evening, May 3. The Grace Hall smoker was filled to capacity for the performance of the series of skits entitled "People to People". The stories included everything from dorm scenes to dinnertime SGA meetings. Freshman class President, Mary Sica, began her narration with a group of Seniors rowing to the Jamaican Islands. Next the cameras switched to Cabrini College cafeteria where Rosemarie Gubitosa (Nora Dillon) was engaged in her customary dinner-line chats . Skit Shows In the next scene the Madrigalists satisfactorily gave their rendition of a popular song until Diane Sobieski (Maryann Talian) lost her contact len ses. A rousing SGA meeting concerned a case against Kathy Adams (Gayle Nazarett) was then presented under the auspices of Marie Mealing (Pat Rainieri) and Addie Rovegno (Mary Beth De Bello). The final two scenes portrayed life on the dorm telephones and a physical fitness meeting which was highlighted by a "lively" dance by Pat Daly (Josie Ruth) .. As a fitting conclusion to an enjoyable evening, the Sophomore Class presented their graduating "big sisters" with beautiful favors as a rememberance of their special night.
Then, you personally thanked your cooperating teachers and principals for aiding you in Student Teaching. The Weekend, we leave to your memories, Senior F,11.rewell, picntc at Valley Forge and the Barn dance. Next month, finals over, you will gather in the Administration Building courtyard to begin your last participation in a student function. A Baccalaureate Mass, a ceremony on the lawn ,and you will no longer be students-you will become alumnae of Cabrini College. "Try to remember and if you remember, then follow."
