Staff Plans '57 Yearbook Under the direction of Sister M. Jean and Sister M. Donald, R .S.M., faculty advisors, plans for the 1957 Regina Maris are under way. At a class meeoing in May the staff of the yearbook was chosen from the class of '57. lt includes : Co-editors : Misses Jean Caya and Maureen Lynch ; Business manager : Therese Gegg; Advertising managers : Wilma Meagher and Shirley Lopes; Managers of pho rography: Eleanor Claffey and Mary Jane Murphy. The theme of the yearbook, while sti1! a secret from undergraduates, centers around ·~he college's tenth anniversary.
Costumes, Singing Highlight Initiation It was apparent that the student body knew that Freshmen Week had begun at Salve Regina. Those characteristic white beanies with the large blue letters appeared everywhere on the campus-in the classrooms, at lunch, in the lounge, and even occasionally in the shower! Initiation commenced as ninetysix freshmen, dressed •i n individual costumes, paraded on corridors. Some never dreamed that their hair could be braided into so many pigtails! A hot water bottle, scatter wg, and p ail became familiar sights at Salve Regina. This, however, was not the end to the dreaded "Initiation." The em ire freshmen group was obliged .co perform for all students. The climax of Freshman Week was now lilt hand. For the first time the new members of the college worked as a class. After a most successful performance, the freshmen laughed and talked with upper classmen, and the freshmen admitted that the sophomores weren't the "awful creatures" they had imagined them to be.
Why Bother? ? ? Why do we bother to have a campus newspaper? Certainly it's not for the announcement of any real news/ Look at this issue, for instance. We all knew about the building fund drive and the NF council and just about everything else that is mentioned in these .four pages. So, why bother? Why should the editor, associate editor, reporters, typists, etc. waste their time? Good questions, aren't they? Well, if you will bear with us for just a few moments we'll try to tell you why we ·bother. First of all, we know that we're not giving the New York T imes nor even Th e EaJt Cup cake Gazette any competition. What's more, we're not trying to! We are not in existence to act as a medium of mass education in current world events. Why compare us to publications that are? The raison d'etre of a college newspaper is a much simpler yet a very
important one. College publications are established to fulfill a need or many needs on the individual campus. A few of these may be offered now. Primarily, this newspaper serves as a chronicle of events which go on in and for the college. If you wish, it may be termed an informal history book of Salve Regina College. You claim that you know this history, therefore, you don't have to read it. Of cour.se yo u know it .. . you're making i t! But does everyone in the English department know thaot the Chemistry students visited an industrial research lab last month? This is only a hypot hetical instance, but the ·p oint is: had it happened, it would have been noted in the college paper. Therefore, the newspaper can and does let you know how the other half lives. And that is the answer. That's why ·we bother.
Candy Cartons To Contain Core Of Campus-Ta-Come Sweet-tooth special with chocolate bars galore will be the order of the campus Friday, October 19 to Monday, October 29 when the Building Fund Drive officially holds sway. The drive, part of an overall movement of the Mercy Order, aims at the increase of facilities commensurate with the progress in educational leadership marked 'by the Order. All funds realized
S. R. C. Welcomes Six Instructors As the enrollment increases in a college, so it seems does its faculty, and this year Salve Regina College has welcomed six new members. In the French department is Sister ho Mary Anacletus, R.S.M., formerly headed the French departmem at Saint Xavier's Academy. In the book store ·is Sister Mary Rufina, R.S.M., who previously taught in many schools throughout this province. In September ·the College opened a new library and Sister Mary Laura, R .S.M., who received her · in library science from Villanova U niversity and who was former librarian at Catholic Teachers' College is now the assistant librarian. Sister Mary Geralyn, R.S.M., B.S. in N., teaches in the nursing department. H er chief subjects are biology and sociology - primarily, "Marriage and the Family." To aid in fulfilling the multineeds of her students, Salve Regina added two lay members to her .faculty. All French students are acquainted with Mrs. Georgette Ramos, Ph.D., through her work as head of the Alliance Francaise. Now Mrs. Ramos is here in another caopacity--'teacher of French a nd Spanish. Teaching Spanish is Mrs. Eleanor Reyes Granger, a former graduate of S.R.C.

All at ~alve RegMinaAhalve wiRtnessed expansiOn at c u ey, osary, Marian, and Angelus halls plus rhe tennis court now gracing Mercy Hall. Continued increase of the student body warrants bigger dreams for the future: residence halls, chap e 1, auditorium, department buildings. These can and will become realities with the loyal push of the students. During the ten-day span, money will be raised by selling World's Finest Chocolate Bars, personalized with the college picture and the Mercy seal. The bars at quarter pound sizes will sell at fifty cents each. The campaign, organized through the Student Council, is being carried out by a special committee comprised of representatives selected from each class. Members include: The Misses Mary Siefkin, Marie Klement, '60; Evelyn Davoren, Ann Carpenter, '59; Patricia Murphy, Loretta Verde, '58; Rydia Almy, Aurora Texeira, '57. These girls Wlill banner the student body as well as giving support of neighboring business houses patronized by the students. The goal is 9,600 sales; an "over- the-top" success. The program has proven eminently successful at Anna Maria and Emmanuel College, so let's not be outdone. Let's sell that chocolate!

Library Features Stimulating Books For Fall Reading A new library feamres new books and Salve Regina's is no exception. Biography, fiction, non-fiction all have •their place in the life of a college girl. These are our choices for reading as the leaves turn and fall. Played By Ear-To all socialists, Reverend Daniel A. Lord, S.J. is well known and loved. His autobiography epitomizes a life of warmth, good humor, and a deep love of mankind. They Went To College-by Haverminn and West. "A milestone book" ... wittily and humorously written ... pertinent, startling ideas on college graduates-their contributions and failures! All Manner of Men-by Riley Hughes ... collection of representative Catholic short stories . . . as varied as their title . . . realistic episodes with very real characters . . . interesting and stimulating. Ambassador Extraordinary-by Alan Hatch . . . the appointment of Clare Boothe Luce as ambassador to I•taly was a "dare on a gobal scale". Cognizant of this and yet wiUing, she wrote "Dear Ike: I accept...." her biography is one full of challenge, depth, and warmth. Birth of Britain-by Winston Churchill . . . first volume of History of English Speaking People ... from Caesar to Columbus . . . a noble theme.
Home Economists
Attend Con vention Keene State Teachers College, in Keene, New Hampshire was the site of the Regional Home Economics Workshop attended by Patrioia Smith, Marilyn Soucy and Agnes Givren on October 19-20. Planning the Club Program, Increasing Aorive Membership, and Successful Fund Raising Schemes were three of the vital topics discussed. Initiation of New Members on October 23 began the full schedule of activities for the club year which will include a Fashion Show early in the Spring and various Lecturers. The prospective Home-ecers lit candles from the Benty Lamp, symbol of all Home Economists and read their pledge. Following Initiation refreshments were served and Ellenjane Cox, president of the Club gave a brief resume of the National Home Economics Convention which she attended in Washington, D. C. this summer.
Suddenly We're Nautical 'n Aft McAuley Hall has suddenly been transformed into a floating battleship. Well, not quite, but have you seen the new lounge? It's the greatest! Sister Mary Martha, R.S.M., has turned it from a dismal room into a nautical haven where seagoing Salve-ires will meet to play-you guessed it-bridge! Sad was the funeral procession held on a grand scale for the dear departed friend of the sophomores at McAuley. Funeral dirges sung by Miss Carpenter were on exactly the right key to keep faces anguished and all hearts on lovely LALA. What great exalted gentleman caller at Moore Hall rated a carpet rolled out by a bevy of gorgeous juniors? Come November, Carol, many happy returns of the Bay!
FotherGeorges, 0 . P. Receives Degree Receiv·i ng the degree of Master of Sacred Theology, Very Reverend Irving A. George's, O.P. was granted the highest honor of the Dominican Order. To attain this distinction the candidate must be promoted by the General Chapter and the Master General of the order. Father Georges did his undergraduate study at Canisius College in his home town of Buffalo, New York. After joining the Order of Preachers, he received his Master of Ans and lectorate in Sacred Theology from Catholic University. Following this degree, Father was assigned to Providence College as professor of philosophy and theology. In February, 1956, Father Georges received an appointment from His Excellency, Most Reverend Russell J. McVinney, as chaplain and professor at Salve Regina College.
S. R. C. Cla ss of 1960 Attends Dance at P. C. In response to an invitation from Providence College's Student Government, ~pproximately fifty of our freshmen attended a dance in honor of the C·lass of 1960. To facilitate their attendance, Sister Mary Constance, R.S.M., hired a bus to take the resident students to and from Providence. Truly it can be said that the freshmen have 'been properly introduced to the "social whirl"! Many are eagerly awaiting future inter-collegiate dances. As Jackie Roosevelt, '60', put it, "We not only meet interesting and enjoyable people, but we also have an opportunity to exchange pertinent ideas on college life."
What "krazy kats'' are trying w make a bicycle campus out of Salve Regina? Saves wear and tear on the legs ... ask Joyce. "Pee Wee" Mahler was a sad sight on October 10. Cheer up! There's always next year. Or is there? Ever see a double-date with fourteen kids-we have! Talk about the call of the wild! Have you been around when a phone rings at McAuley Hall? Gangway! It induces a dash that would make an Olympic star look amateurish. Two upperclassmen will give a brief course on "How It Feels to Be a Spanish Duena" to anyone interested. For the non-Espanol contingent, that's ye olde chaperone. Many freshmen have learned early in their career.s what "Mysteries lurk beyond Gate 4", n'estce pas? Another lesson in December, girls? Here's hoping they never REALLY close the Jersey and Pennsy Turnpikes to nol'thbound traffic! Right, Madame President?
Sodality Features Catholic life The Sodality on campus this year wears a different look. Membership is voluntary. The sodality offers a thoroughly CaJtholic way of life to the college student emphasizing personal holiness and the lay apostolate. To facilitate this objective, weekly meetings are conducted under the direction of Sister Mary Jean, moderator. In general >the socialists ar·e taught the fundamentals of mental prayer and are made familar with sodality rules. Discussion on var·ious pertinent topics train the socialist for Catholic leadership. During October the sodality sponsored the Living Rosary, the annual Halloween party, and the first of a series of programs concerned with the commemoration of the centenary of the Feast of the Sacred Heart in the Church by Pope Pius IX. Led by Pwt MacDonald, Prefect, the Living Rosary, took place on the front lawn of McAuley Hall, October 9. Eighty freshmen composed the cross and recited the Apostles Creed. Six other freshmen made up the Our Fathers. Members of Student Counoil, class officers and upper classmen, in full academic dress, comprised the Hail Mary's. The student body and faculty members walked in procession from Ochre Court to McAuley Hall.

Graduates Return To See 'New Look' Exclaiming proudly over the beauties of McAuley, Rosary, Angelus, and Marian Halls as well as the magnificent grounds of the new addition, over one hundred and fifty alumnae of Salve Regina strolled about the campus on Sunday, October 21.

Ramsier, Mrs. Charles J. Aubin, and Mrs. Angelo Mosca. The day's activities began with Mass celebrated in the college chapel by Very Reverend Irving A. Georges, O.P.

Following this, the group commenced n tour of the new buildings guided by the Misses Caroline Swetnam, president of the student body, and Maureen Lynch, president of the senior class, assisting Miss Casey on the hospitali'ty commktee. In the afternoon the alumnae attended a faculty reception at which old acquaintances were renewed and new ones stimulated. Homecoming festivities were formally concluded at 5 p. m. with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

~ ------~---~~~~~~~~--~ ·~ Delegates of 22 Colleges Meet at N. F. Council Here "But, officer, I'm on my way to the Fall Council . . . but . . but, officer, I can't miss the first plenary session! Officer, you're keeping me from an important NFCCS meeting in Newport!" Just like an open sesame, these magical letters opened Rhode Island's route 138 to the dedicated delegate. ( That the officer thought it was a division of naval intelligence we shall pass over for the moment!) Whatever the magic formula, over eighty delegates from twentytwo colleges arrived at the college on Saturday, October 6. After much oh-ing and ah-ing over the splendor of the campus and a very welcome lunch, the representatives assembled for the first plenary session at one o'clock. Jim Rourke, regional president, greeted all and introduced Sister M. Constance, R.S.M., campus NF moderator, who extended a welcome to the student conclave. Later in the proceedings, Mother M. Hilda, R.S.M., college president, gave the formal welcome in behalf of the administration, while Sister M. Antonine, R.S.M., academic dean, spoke for the college faculty. Major -issues considered included evaluation of senior delegates in regard to orientation of new stu-
Septembe'Z ~emo'Zy September is a song of sadness, A step sister who mourns The death of tender summer And departs as autumn is born. Oh how sad to be September! Never to be able to know The glory of the summer sun The beauty of soft fallen snow. And so I mourn with September When her leaves fall down like tears And she whispers her woes to the world But then sighs, for no one hears.

dents. The classifications were: very good, good, and satisfactory. Salve Regina received a 'very good' rating. Anita Oliva, regional vice-president, then cleared all workshop dates for first semester. Salve Regina will host two on Sunday afternoon, November 4. Family Life and t he International Relations Commissions will sponsor their respective projects on that day. Names of student speakers will be announced later. To assure adequate publicity of workshops, representatives in each class have been asked to rbe responsible for acquaiming their class with topics, dates, and sites. They will clear these as well as possible transportation questions through the senior and junior delegates: Carol Cannon and Anne Motte. These representatives on campus are: Mary Ann Barrett, Patricia Smith, Donna Hurd, Jacqueline Roosevelt, and Patricia Dunigan.
Charlene A. Vitullo was elected freshman chairman pro tern at an assembly for underclassmen on October 9. Miss Vitullo is a recent graduate of Saint Xavier's Academy, Providence, where she served as vice-prefect of Our Lady's Sodality and as president of the World Affairs Forum. She will represent her class on the student council until permanent class officers are elected in November. ~------------------~
Miss M. Murphy Receives Degree
Miss Marie Murphy, 27 year old polio victim, accepted her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the Most Reverend Bishop at Honors Convocation on September 24. This event marked a great achievement in Marie's life and was the culmination of much study. Miss Murphy, a graduate of Roger Williams Hospital, class of 1950, attended Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and the Boston College School of Nursing. She took extension courses at Salve Regina before contract:nJ the dread disease in thP fall of 19;3.

Student Government sponsored the dance with Sheila McEnness acting as chairman. Members of the Junior class volunteered to be the ho8tesses and to decorate the gym. Marie Robinson offered to do the artistic work. A nautical atmosphere helped t he OC's feel right at home, with buoys and life preservers adding to the general theme of the evening. This was only the first of a series of dances with the officer candidates. Because it was so successful, there was another scheduled for October 20. Student Government hopes everyone will enjoy and support these dances.

At hletic Ass'n. Plans Program Members of the Athletic Association convened on October 3, at Mercy Hall to formulate tentative plans for the 1956-57 season. It was decided to change the name of rthe organization to something more appropr·iate. Members will vote on this question in the near future. Election of officers will take place this month. The formulation of a cheer-leading squad who will spur on the home team at varsity games is under the direction of Joyce Pimental, sophomore. Because the number of girls rema<ining on campus each weekend has increased, it was suggested that a variety of activities be available. This rprogram of sports would include tennis, swimming, field hockey, and horseback riding. It is hoped that many will take advantage of the benefits of the Athletic Assoc.iation.
Prospective Co llegians Learn of Campus Life Studems and faculty members from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire attended High School Day, October 20. Members of the student body and sodal•ity were hostesses to the students by giving them a tour of the buildings and relating their own experiences of college life. Following this, the Home Economics Department served a luncheon. Under the direction of Sister Mary Othilda, R.S.M. rhe publicity department showed slides on the campus and on college life. In the gymnasium souvenirs such as pennants, picture postcards, and college stickers were sold. The High School Day program was under the supervision of Sister Mary Donald, R.S.M.
My Fair Lady Takes Lead In Fashion Trend Fashion grows up this season. Gone is the little-girl look - the doll dress, cinched waist, and crinoline. A gracious formality becomes the measure of good taste. Skirts are narrow - eirther perfectly straight or with fulness very close to the hemline. Suits are back as major fashion but with a definite costume appearance. They show up everywhere : in tweeds for daytime and worsted with scarfs or costume jewelry for evening. Sheath dresses become suits or costumes with a variety of companion jackets. Coats, too, follow the straight-line trend; some sport the newly popular belted backs or sides. The look becomes softer with the return of
~Sea
large collars some of which become hoods for those extra chilly days. There's more to fashion's "My Fair Lady" look than style and silhouette; the whole manner of dressing has changed. Hats are being worn again - the toque replaces the :pill-box; also popular is the crowned cloche. Gloves are longer, shoes are simple without cluttering detail. Particularly noticeable in all styles is the absence of decomtion. Today's dresses and ensembles depend on shape, fabric, and color for their importance. There is sophistication, poise, and dignity in today's clothes. Today's well-dressed young woman is truly "My Fair Lady."

With the ebbing of this Tide come the winds passing over the calm or whi>tecapped sea. Along their course these salted winds echo tidings of import to island inhabitants. Among ·these bits of news which September tenth's bree:>es blew to newly-returned islanders was the fact tha<t three members of our faculty had been assigned to new positions. They include Sister Mary Christopher, Sophomore class moderator; Sister Mary Siena, Freshman class moderator and Sister Mary Philomen, Resident Supervisor of Ochre Court. On September 24 the faculty and students had the pleasure of hearing Mary Louise Hickey's rendition of "The Barrens of Wimpole Street." This story presents a little bit of love, adventure and h.1mor to the listener. We v:oukl all appreri,tte having a cousin like Elizabeth's, n'esr-ce pas?

The students spent an enjoyable afternoon on October 3 listening tO poems by Sister Madaleva. Sister informed us that rpoetry is beauty. May we say that the poetess is also beauty for Sister's lovely personality certainly shines forth in her poems. October 31 is a day for witches, goblins and jack-o-lanterns. But don't be too surprised if you see jack-o-lanterns peering through the windows of Ochre Court on October 27. They will be the happy jack-o-lanterns enjoying the Sophomores' festival of leaves. The winds have passed over Salve Regina once more. Bu<t keep watching the Ebb Tide because the "Sea Winds" will come again whether they bring calm or storm.
New Library Nurtures Nocturnal Concentration To speak of the "new" library at this point is a misnomen. For by now, it is almost our second home. Throughout the day its reference and periodical rooms nre crowded with eager and sometimes nor-so-eager "scholars." In the evening, residen<t students practically do reside there. With -the great and constant assistance of Sisters Marie Therese and Mary Laura, R.S.M., students are able to utilize the library literally from morning to night.
College Pu b li shes Revised Rules Wi~h •the combined efforts of the administration, faculty, and student body, the college has published a new Student Handbook. lt sets forth in brief concise form the academic and social regulations by which each student is bound. Among the changes made in the academic rulings is one especially important to note: the absence committee has been replaced by another system. The student must report to the Academic Dean to obtain a slip admitting her to each class. In accord with the Student Government consti.tu<tion as found in the handbook, the student council drew up a new list regulating order and decorum of students on campus. All students received a copy of these regulations at a studem body meeting on October 2. Miss Caroline Swetnam, Student Government President, at that rime offered to answer any questions of the students relative to the revised list of social regulations. At rhis time, also, each new Student council officer took her oath of office to uphold the honor of the college by her own behavior and by accepting the responsibility of her position.
Choristers IPlan Concerts, Discs The Queen's Choristers have begun the new year with a surge of enthusiasm. Thirty-one new members add a beautiful richness to the "Britton," the favorite music of the Club. Soaring tO the notes of "Deo Gratias" and "Wolcurn Yole", the voices blend magically, lending a note of perfection to even the discordant chords. T:he club is pla,nning a full year of concerts and even the cutting of a few records are first on the agenda. Through the kindness of Miss Amato, the Club hopes to present modern dance routines as a supplement to their programs. With the co-operation of the student body, the Queen's Choristers antidpate making this year a very successful one financially. To the Choristers themselves will be the sa<tisfaction of a job well done. JAMES L. GREENE RA LPH I. FULLER, JR.
