Students Unite In Ceremony Enthroning Statue On Campus New Freshmen Claim Different Homelands Of the fifty-three g irls en rolled in the freshman class, the second largest in the history of Salve Regina College, two are fr o m Central America , one comes hom South America, and nine reside in other state s. Farthest from home is Marlena Quintero who lives in Venezuela, South America . Although every thing seemed very different to her at first, Marlena says that she like s college life here very much. Both Mende Castillo and Maria Munoz attended Mercy schools in Belize, British Honduras. Mende is not new to boarding school life because she has spent the last ·i hree years at Bayview. Marie enthusi astically exclaims, " Everything is wonderful here: the sisters, the girls, and the c:ollege itself." Massachusetts is well represented with seven native daughters now studying at S.R.C. From New York comes Marie Ferri ola, a loyal Dodger fan . Virginia Dropp, now living in Newport, has traveled all over the United States.
To enthrone a new statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, located on the campus at Moore Hall, student body and faculty members will participate in a -: eremony on Friday, October 24, 1952. Donated by Mr. William H. Thorpe in memory of his son, Paul , the statue is l)f wh ite marble, the altar of crab orchard ~ tone, and may be used for celebration of Holy Mass and other rel igious ceremon ies. All stude nts, attired in caps and gowns, will walk in procession to the shrine, singing " Christ the King". O ffi ciating at the exercises, Reverend G e rald F. Dillon, college chapla in, will b less ·;·he statue and lead ·rhe assembled body in the re citation of an " Act of Con ~ec ration to the Sacred Heart of .Jesus." Se lecte d hymns include " Heart of Jesus, Hear" and " Enthrone ment of Love". Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament will be held at th e outdoor shrine ·to close ·rhe ceremonies. Orig inated by Revere nd Father Mateo of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts in the latter ninetee nth century, :·he o; nthronement d e votio:-~ offic ially recognizes l"he kingships of .Jesus in Christian families, or in schools and colleges. Four years ago a sol e mn ceremony of such purpose took place at Salve Regina College, and is renewed annually. This year, because of the new statue, it is of special import.
Freshman Sees In New College Life
Black Cats, Goblins, Witches
Cooperation, Understanding, Happiness
Highlight Halloween Festival
" I love it!" enthusiastically e xclaims every freshman , myself included, when asked her opinion of colle ge life . Yesterday, I stopped momentarily :·o ponder the reasons for this see mingly favorite expression. Thoughts came at random : of wonderful classmates, so will ing to work together ·ro make every und e rtaking , whe ther a coke party for se niors or replacing chairs after assembly, successful , and of fr iendly upperclassmen always greeting frightened freshmen with "Could I he lp you?" With their personal interest in everyone's welfare, the sisters have truly gained my gratitude and love .
Black cats, goblins and witches will hold a " Ghostly Rendezvous" in the cafeteria at Ochre Court at 7:30 P. M. on Thursday, October 30. Sponsored by the soda lity :·his annual Hallowe'en party is a gala occasion . The program for the e vening features a costume parade with prizes awarded for t he prettiest, the funniest, and the most orig inal among the creations, e nterta inment, and refreshments. The proceeds from the party will go to the missions and also help finance :·he Christmas party fo r poor children, a nother of the sodality's many projects.
The n, too, there are excellent scholastic courses, combining to give us a thorough, ·.veil-round ed e ducation. But most important, I found , what makes S.R .C. d e ar to my heart, is the privilege of living so close to Our Lord, both spiritually and physically. As I kn e el in chapel e ach morning , my day takes on new mean ing . Eve ry smile or whispe red e ncouragement to a tired or depressed classmate, every assignment well done, every dinner well served, all merge with one purpose, not attainment of an " A.B .", but a ttainment of my only true goal in life, finding and helping others \o -:lnd re al happiness, God!

The night comes when no man can work." November reminds us that for the suffering souls of many of our friends, night has come. On earth they 5erved God well but not perfectly . Now, Holy Souls, they love, s uffer and wait. In life you would not refuse to help these friends. In death they need you more for they cannot help themselves but depend on your aspirations, rosaries and daily Masses. Mother McAuley often repeated " The Rosary is a powerf ul means of obtaining every grace ." The daily pl e as of one child of Mary ·for another could not go unheard . Mary's mothering of us all has but one aim - to draw us close to Her Son. Like Our Mother we need to draw the suffering souls to His Heart. Daily in our chapel He offers anew His merits ·i or ·;·hose we love . By joining Him we offer not our own but His merits for their souls. In our midst we have ·;· he perfect Sacrifice . " Le t us work while it is day."

The first week in November ·the Sociology department will receive its program of visiting the homebound children of Newport. This year the sophomore student nurses will collaborate with the sociology students. The Newport homebound children are obtaining their education under the tutelage of Mrs. Helen F. Laughlin . The individual attention thus afforded each child has scholastic advantages, but ihe socialization which we consider as such an important function of our schools presents a problem. The students try to fill this gap in the development of the children in two ways; first, by a weekly home visit to each child and, secondly, by planning monthly programs at the college for all the children. The monthly parties give the children an opportunity to see and realize that they are not singular, but there are others as handicapped as 1·hey. Not only the children gain by the activities. The future social workers and nurses experience one of their ·i uture concerns- meeting people in unusual and problematic circumstances . While visiting and entertaining their little -friends, they gain in insight, maturity, and good judgment.

Living Rosary Formed/
Summer School Of Catholic Action Provides
Fatima Scenes Relived
Enthusiasm/ Interest/ Inspiration And Pep
At October Exercises
Inspiration, enjoyment, and {riendliness characterized ·i·he SSCA held last Au fj ust at Boston College. From Father Lord'.; first greeting until his parting message, one was impressed by the enthusiasm •Jnd interest on the part of a II present. Each morning, Father Lord 9ave unction to the study of the theme of the Summer School, the Statement of the Bishops of the United States on God's Law, The Measure of Man 's Conduct. Our greatest problem after that was deciding who should go where, for each course sounded tempting. Our choice of as many college sessions as we could squeeze into seven hours, convinced us ·rhat we chose wisely. " How to Make the Sodality Work in College" , " Suggested Means of Promoting the Sodality Apostolate On and Off Campus", " Social Worship" (a revelation on the " we-ness" of the Mass), and :;essions on " Parliamentary Law" made us realize how full and rich the sodality way of life actually is.

Lectures On Poetry To commemorate National Poetry W e ek His Excellency Dennis J . Roberts, Governor of the State of Rhode Island, issued a proclamation designating October 15 for the special observance of ·rhis week in ·rhe state. Sister Mary Jean, R.S.M. gave a lecture to those students who were free ·i·o attend. Sister's lecture provided back ground for a discussion on poetry which stressed the inseparable connection between good living and good poetry . In her background material Sister Mary .lean emphasized the poet's desire for order and hence, beauty in his work. Yet, ~ orne poets, Sister maintained, refused io begin at the beginning with the fundamental philosophic concept of being . . . one, good, true, and hence beautiful and CIS a consequence, fail as great poets. There is a definite important connection between a good man and a good poet. Sister Mary Jean is instructor in English at Salve Regina College. She has been a member of the college faculty since 1948 and has conducted English classes since that time. ~
