Although Mary always reigns as Queen, we, her children, pay her particular homage throughout the month of May. Each week we crown her as Queen of our campus and of our lives and daily we recite the rosary in her honor. Somehow we forget that Mary was a young girl with our likes and dislikes. Mary lived in a materialistic world where her people
N FCCS Sponsors Forensics Meeti ng On Sunday, May 6, Salve Regina N .F.C.C.S. delegates sponsored the first workshop to be held by the newly-formed Forensics Commission. James O'Meara, chairman of the commission from Fairfield University, conducted the meeting after a brief introduction by Miss Carol Cannon, new senior delegate. The workshop covered three general categories of public speaking: dramatic declamation, original oratory, and extemporaneous speaking. The participants included representatives from Amhurst College, Boston College, Fairfield University, Heart, as well as Salve Regina. Miss Caroline Swetnam entered the extemporaneous speaking contest, while Michele Cali delivered a scene .from "Rebecca" as her dramatic declamation. The commission, established at the recent Regional Congress, has been set up to satisfy a need long felt not only in New England, but throughout the Catholic academic world. College students and graduates have been failing in their social responsibilities because of a lack of trainilllg in public speaking. It is
were awaiting the arrival of a majestic king with an army powerful enough to defeat Rome. Her problems paralleled our problems, her world ours. When in her teens, she was chosen to be the Mother of God and ultimately our mother. At first she was bewildered and confused, but her faith was strong and Our Lord, her Son, came to her aid, and miraculously erased her troubles. To day we are able to bring our problems to her and she channels them to her Divine Son. Simeon prophesied a life of sorrows for her. We wonder, could it be ·that one who was the Mother of God could be anything but happy? Yet we cause this paradox for we hurt the Heart of Our Savior and we bruise His Body. As a true and loving Mother, Mary feels all these pains and ponders chese injustices in her heart. Mary never forgets us, her children. Always she comes to our aid whenever we seek her. Truly she is our mother and lovingly we hail her as Queen of our hearts and our lives. the aim of the commission to alleviate this situation through an active program of inter-collegiate forensics meetings.
Edwin O'Connor's
Last Hurrah Provides Excellent Su mmer Read ing Edwin O'Connor's Last Hurrah "is a bristling, flamboyant saga of the decline and fall of the big city boss." Over 70, Frank Skeffington decides to run for re-election as mayor. Through the eyes of his nephew Adam, whom he invites to tag along during the campaign in order ro gain a clearer insight into the workings of the nameless city, O'Connor unfolds the drama of the shrewd but lovable old time politician. "The main reason I went into politics," Skeffington tells Adam, "was because it was the quickest way out of the cellar and up the ladder." Never does Skeffington forget that there are countless votes in these cellars of poverty. Help these people by little seemingly unimportant act of kindness and you win their unanimous support. SkeffingtOn is their leader, their ideal, their benefactor but most of all their friend! As they ride from waterfront to wake, Adam sees his uncle turning on his Irish charm and wit. Almost grudgingly Adam learns to love and respect his roguish uncle and his uncle's chief manager, taciturn but wise John Gorman. "A.uthor O'Connor makes his novel ring with ~he harsh brogue of the Boston Irish, and ripple with Irish fancy. He may not always see his hero with 20-20 vision, but he does something even rarer among modern novelists-he makes him come alive, with love."

On May 8, the college sponsored Alumnae Baby Day. The faculty and students greeted the babies ranging in age from a few weeks to four years. No party would be complete without i.ts "Camera and Cream" hour. Happily, they ate skippy cups and cookies and drank their milk. Students became most willing babysitters for these darling infants and toddlers. Feeding one frolicsome little boy his "cho'clit iskreem", one girl was heard to remark. "''d rather struggle with him than with integral Calculus!" Certainly these chil dren won the hearts of all, captiva.ting not only the girls but also the faculty. Closing the afternoon festivities, the alumnae brought their children to the very Heart of Salve Regina. Reverend Irving Georges, O.P., and Reverend John Shea blessed these youngsters, dedicating them to their Blessed Mother in the college chapel. Benediction formally closed the first Baby Day-a day which, it is hoped, will be an annual one.
New Officers To Initiate Revision Of Campus Maria Regina Sodality The Maria Regina Sodality is looking fo!'Ward to a new year of progress in devotedness to Mary. The prefect elected for the year 1956 - 57 is Miss Patricia MacDonald. Miss Shelia McKenna is the representative from the Junior Class, while Miss Marilyn Sullivan represents the Sophomore Class. The agenda for the year and the activities of the various groups will be discussed and formulated by srudents who are especially interested in the sodality program. May time is Mary's time for Salve Regina. The sodalists are endeavor-
ing to make Mary's month unforgetahle. An exhibit of Madonnas, special emphasis on the rosary, a weekly crowning at one of the three outdoor shrines will help to create a Marian atmosphere. As an incentive toward a deepening understanding of the purpose of the sodality, Miss Patricia MacDonald and Miss Sheila McKenna have been selected to represent the college at the Summer School of Catholic Action to be held in N ew York in August. Here at .the college the sodality is canonically affiliated with the Prima Primaria in Rome.

The hour when I kneel in prayer to thee, 0 Lord, The hour when I bow my head at night, There I adore Thee hid within Thy Sacred Heart, That in my darkened world you'll be the Light. Between the time of night and dawning daylight hour, When lips are still but heart is heard in prayer, Stay, then, dear God, to watch with me my vigil through, Stay, ~hen, to sooth my mind troubled with care. The day is filled with many concrete things of life, Our homes, our thoughts, the world about we set:, But let me pause at night and in my silence there, My heart will feel that You are meeting me. -Helen Koschny
Delegates Convene At Science Meeting Four delegates from Sigma Rho, campus science club attended the Eastern College Science Conference held at Temple University, Philadelphia, in April. The Misses Jane Hale, Barbara Faiis, Dorothy Kehew, and Sheila McEnness represented Salve Regina at this conclave where delegates of ninety-eight eastern colleges convened. At meetings held at Temple University, srudents delivered papers on specific aspects of mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, and the allied sciences. Professors from various colleges lectured on topics of interest to these future scientists. These included a consideration of oriented polymers, and a demonstration of liquid air. One particularly interestirig discussion was given by the director of the Fels Planetarium in Philadelphia. He expatiated upon man's furure in space, that is the probability of the efficacy of rocket aviation in the stratosphere. Salve Regina delegates visited both the Atlantic Oil Company and the Philco Company. They closed the conference with a banquet and ball at the Hotel Sylvania. JAMES L. GRE ENE RALPH I. FULLER, JR.

Often there is a suggestion of an Empire waistline, achieved with cut and emphasized with contrasting banding: Invariably the top of the dress IS slender and there are very few s-leeveless models. The brief sleeve is preferred and is definitely more flattering. Some dresses have a long torso look with a jacket top or hipline interest minus the jacket. The fabrics carry out the crispness. There are cotton Jacguards frosted with pique and touched with lace, spun rayons teamed with corded cottons, shiny cotton floral prints with pique accents and Irish linens.

Father Dillon's Church Blessed On route three, Nooseneck Hill Road, Coventry, Rhode Island, one comes upon a white, beautifully painted wooden structure with a large si•g n which reads, "Saint John and Paul Church." Many parishioners returning .from Mass temporarily celebrated in a local volunteer fire station, sropped tO note with considerable pride the progress in the construction of their Church. Formerly, an old navy barracks, this newly-renovated building presents a very simple but spacious edifice. Upon entering the Church one clearly sees the natural wooden altar with the sanctuary painted Williamsburg green. The sacristy is decorated rose adding beauty to the interior structure. Because of the size of the structure there is one altar and two alcoves located directly opposite each other on the sides of the Church for vhe location of statues. The ceiling is of California natural redwood which sets off the altar beautifully. The Church seats over five hundred and thirty people. Also, an audio system has been installed. A choir loft is situated over the front entrance. At the dedication of che Church, the glee club of the college sang the low Mass offered by His Excellency, Bishop McVinney of Providence. Following this Mass of dedication, Father Dillon, former chaplain here, treated members of the glee club tO a delightful brunch.

Salve Regina is taking on a new look. For those girls who enjoy playing tennis, the college is constructing two courts. The site of the tennis area is in back of Mercy Hall. Upon completion, the courts will have many modern features. In order to provide the best recreation for the girls, they will be termed Laykold courts. This type is adaptable for all-round athletic activity, such as basketball and skating. When the courts are built, they will face a north-south direction and have a back stop of ten feet of wire mesh. William T. Sullivan, general contractor of Newport, is erecting the courts. Workmen have taken measurements and started digging on April 29. The firm hopes to finish the project by the end of May. These courts will be so constructed that in the winter they can l:e frozen tO provide skating facilities for students. It is also hoped that eventually provisions will be made for outdoor basketball. It is certain that the students will enjoy the college's new look.
