Traditionally, seniors meriting departmental, scholastic and spe cial honors have received their awards on stage from the college president at each spring convoca tion. However, because of the in creased number of seniors winning awards, Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean, has an nounced that students who have made the Dean's List or merited departmental honors will no longer receive ribbons on stage, although they will be cited during the pro gram by Sister Mary Ignatia. In recognition of their achieve ment of a 2.5 grade point average or higher during the first two terms of senior year, the following students made the Dean's List: Sis ter Mary Kevin Anderson, C.S.S.F., Mary Baker, Geraldine Banik, Elizabeth Busalacchi, Diane Capi- tani, Sally Carroll, JoAnn Cata- lano, Gloria Ciucci, Marian De- Ianey, Mrs. Catherine Dittman, Su san Dorner, Joan Haas, Elaine Haka, Marlene Hecko, Eileen Hur ley, Barbara Kaiser, Nancy Kloss, Halina Konopacka, Mary Ann Krause, Joanne Krier, Rita Kroth and Sister Mary Rosamond Kurow ski, C.S.S.F.
