Dormitory Life

H

undreds of new freshmen moved into the dorms last August—although none of the rooms looked quite like this! These young women, photographed in the mid-1960s, illustrate the community spirit of residence hall living that still remains today.

58 CONNECTIONS | Winter 2011-12

This photo, which appeared in the Summer/Fall 2011 issue of Connections, has now been identified! Painting the tunnel were art majors Mary Ellen (Mickey) Trescott Urzetta ’48 (left) and Mary Betty Keegan Murphy ’48. From 1948 to 1951, art faculty guided students in creating scenes from local history; this mural was titled Totiakton and depicted Native Americans with the first Jesuit missionaries to New York State. Thanks to all those who contacted us with more information, particularly Mary Betty’s husband Frank Murphy and Mary Ellen’s daughter Helen Urzetta Tortorici ’75, ’80G, who said she used to visit campus with her brothers to see her mother’s tunnel painting www.naz.edu
