Memories, Memories Of Days That Are No More flash through Freshmen minds as the year draws to a close. The fall of 1951 found Silver Jubilee Class members embarking on their first adventures of college life at Mundelein. Orientation week introduced them to the intellectual and social activities of their new home. The Freshmen then joined other students in adjusting themselves to the demands of the first semester. On the night of October 2, leav ing studies behind, (but not for got) the Freshmen took their seats in the Civic Opera House eagerly awaiting the opening of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo In the early part of November, with fear in their hearts and still more fear in their ability (or lack of ability), the Freshmen nervously opened their first Blue Books. It Happens Every Spring .Tolitical RaLly. The Sophomore Cotillion, held in the Drake Hotel on Nov. 22, added zest to the Thanksgiving recess, and was heart ily supported and enjoyed by many Freshmen. As Christmas vacation time drew near, the Class of '55 was greatly awed by such holiday festivities as candlelighting, caroling, and THE SKYSCRAPER BALL. With the strain of semester examina tions over, the Freshmen welcomed the tranquility of their College retreat. It was all that had been anticipated. The true spirit of the Silver Jubilee Class came to light as many stepped through the fragrant heart on the night of the history-making Heart Beat Hop. The Hop was not only a historical success: but it proved itself as a social aid also in inducing many to attend the Junior Prom, held on Feb. 22, at the Conrad Hilton Hotel. The Freshman-Sophomore Tea, the main social event of the year, intro duced many Freshmen to their Big Sis- ters, the Sophomores. The Freshmen once again showed their spirit, by willingly lending their skill and their name to the newly painted Jubilee Row. Sacrificing all social events, with the Passion of Christ in mind the students reflected on their lives, and looked to wards the Resurrection. V Spnncj Fever With the joyous coming of Easter, the Freshmen danced at the Shanghai Shuf fle, brought their favorite dates to Father- Daughter night, and looked eagerly forward to the Magnificat Med al Convocation, the All-College Musi cal, and the Water Ballet. the Freshmen present their annual issue of the Skyscraper. As each member of the staff tackles her article, her theme song seems to be I Can't Get Started. That, we fear, is Just One of Those Things. Far Away Places were visited by sev eral girls during the Easter vacation. Freshmen who found their way to Flor ida were Mary Ellen Meyer and Dol- eres Byrnes. Junior Jane Roach spent Easter in St. Paul, Minnesota, and will be in Atlanta, Georgia, for her brother's wedding in May. LeNore Focacci trav elled to Birmingham, Alabama for her vacation.
