ter Class of Cabrini

Another step forward in the expansion of Cabrini College is taking place with the erection of a chapel building among the shade trees on our beautiful campus. This building is being donated by Mrs. William P. Bruckmann of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and will be known as THE WILL I AM P. BRUCKMANN AND FAMILY MEMORIAL CHAPEL. Plans are now peing prepared by Foley-McManus, Inc., and ground will be broken in about one month.

The design of the new structure is in keeping with this forward movement, being contemporary in mood and in the use of materials.

The physical dimensions of the building are 110 feet in length and 42 feet in width. The height from the floor to the peak of the rpof is 30 feet. The exterior walls are field stone-cast stone and stucco -t o blend with the recently constructed Sacred Heart Hall.

The nave of the chapel is so arranged that there are no interior columns to obstruct the view of the main altar. There are 22 rows of news. with a seating capacity of 352. The mafu -supporting arches of the chapel roof are fabricated of laminated wood, finished and sealed, to bring out the natural warmth and beauty of the material.

The main sanctuary floor is one step above the floor of the nave.

The main altar and side altars and communion rail are being donated

by Mother Cabrini High School of New York City.

The lighting in the nave is by suspended incandescent fixtures designed in a contemporary manner. The new building will be a welcome addition to the young college campus in Radnor.

A duet, "Sympathy" was su ng

by Jeanette Mathieu and Robert Sammons.

Contrasts of selections in other songs chosen by the chorus were the effective spiritual "I Hear a Voice A -Prayin',"

The "Gong-Ho" Catholic

A Freshman Reminisces In case there are any joys to be found in writing a research paper, I have yet to encounter them.

However, I must say that I have brought many joys to the other sister members of my famil!y. is now an amateur psychopathologist and my mother doesn't .know what to do with her. It started this way: One nice afternoon I went to the library and took out seven books on p s y c h o p a t h ology . I brought them home, and therein lay my biggest mistake. Somehow (I really can't say how) they fell into the hands of my sister. She began to read books like "The Abnormal Personality" and "You Too Can Be a Psychiatrist."

Now, I don't know whether she has developed into an abnormal personality or whether she too is going to be a psychiatrist. For instance, if my mother burns any food it is because some outside force is acting on her subconscious. My h Ch Cl 1961 sister then proceeds to search for of our Patroness, Go fort ' ar.ter ass that outside force. Since my moth-

How often have you heard a Catholic make the statement: "The speaker was O.K., but he was too 'Gung-Ho' Catholic. Or, ''He's too biased?"

In the United States, Catholics bend back.wards to be liberal or tolerant of other theological and ethi~l syste~s .

(Most of them by the way, have degenerated mto relativism.) Right no~, however, we are bending so far back that before long we'll be lying prostrate.

Truth is one· error is manifold. In the United States alone there are eighteen thousand suicides a year. Many of these' people despaired of ever finding the truth a~d felt that life was not worth living without it. We Catholics possess the truth. Yet we are ashamed to admit it. Furtiyely, we keep it hidden; and, ~hen one o.f us .speaks out m terms clearly defining our beliefs, we are terribly embarrassed. We scoff and label him a "Gung-ho" Catholic.

Why do American Catholics continually ~riticize themselv'es? Have you ever seen a good Commumst condE:mn a zealous comrade? Do evangelists ever discourage their adherents from spreading their gospel? And they do not ,even possess the whole truth . Christ commanded us as meJ>Jbers of the True Church to spread His gospel to all nations. We do not only do not do this, but we ~ven look emba~rass~d when a Catholic discusses his faith with other Catholics.

Why do we hesitate to profess and practice our Faith publicly? For every secularist who derides us there are many, many more persohs who respect us for living according to our beliefs. You know, people are even converted through Under the guidance our good example. Maybe you can't go around lecturing about the Faith . Maybe you're too cowardly to be a Catholic in public. But at least don't be a~ham~d or. embarrassed when a fellow Catholic proudly admits his beliefs. We need more The dawn of June fourth, the graduation day o_f our "Gung-Ho" Catholics. But shh! ...

er must lie on the sofa and let her thoughts fl.ow freely, the rest of the family starves.

My younger brother also has received some joy from my research paper. You see, I just don't have time to return overdue books. Very sweetly I ask my brother, "Jackie, how would you like to do me a favor?"

This question always prompts an instantaneous reflex action: Jackie puts out his right hand. This adds up to dollars and cents.

Indirectly the research paper has brought joy to my mother.

While she watches h er-favori te television program, "The Road to Recovery," she . figures out each patient's psychosis or neurosis. Of show has a different solution, but course, th~ psychiatrist on the that doesn't bother mi mother.

Those psychiatrists don't . know anything anyway! Now for the tribulations of a research paper: My first big sorrow came on Saturday at the West Oak Lane Library. I had forgotten that Saturday is Children's Day. For the benefit of the uninitiated , Children's Day is the day when all the little children who haven't ·yet learned to read come to the library to take out books. 1 can't really understand why they do it, but my sister explains that they must draw books from the library to

feel secure. Wh at I fail to see is how War and Peace can make a four year old feel secure.

When I finally did get the books I wanted, I brought them home. Of course, my sister had to read ,them before I did . She was afraid that she might miss something. By the time I came into possession of my books they were overdue. But the fun reall y began after the rough draft of my research masterpiece was written. I don't know how to type.

of us, a spattering of Sophomores and Freshnow :full-fl.edged SodalSodality is that of Our

Lady of Lourdes, and our patroness is St. Frances X. Cabrini.

For the past weeks our main project has been drawing up a constitution. We're all set nowdrawn up and ratified! Our new officers will be elected in May. Contrary to popular opinion, we're not just a bunch of "Pious Pattys," but a pack of ''Peppy Pennies" - <mt to work for Christ and Mary. Really, it can be a lot of fun. Instead of strolling along leisurely to heaven, why not take the jet with us? There's so-o much that YOU can do, and so-o much that needs to be done! You know, now that Mary's Month is springing up, it's a grand opportunity to prove our love by doing little extras just for her!

Here are OUR ideas. Won't YOU give them substance? Mass and Holy Communion each morning of May with a special prayer for our earthly mothers, a spiritual gift to our mothers on their day, a learning more of our heavenly mother each day by "the poem a day" and the posters we want you t.o look for on the bulletin boards. Watch thos.e boards! and, shall we all be present at the Cabrini Family Rosary each forenoon of May. So long, see yon near Our Lady with our Aves!

Anyone Who Rides Like This Must Be Few have the supreme privilege of riding to school squashed between seven people in one usually overheated car, especially when the car's name is Betsy.

And Betsy is O.K. too! Of is-quite-l coUrse, teer-speedometer noisy, her left rear window doesn't open, and the radio works only once a month; but, other than that, she's O.K. We were thinking of giving her an intellectual name -yo u know, something really intellectual. After all, we ·are college women, ( one sophomore, two juniors, four seniors), upper classmen at that, and we shouldn't be riding in a car with such an . . . an ... unoriginal name as Betsy.

But Betsy's driver likes the name BETSY and when you don't own. the car, pay the insurance premiums or the repair bills, :who are you to argue that the car can't have such a unique, utterly too, too ingenious a name as BETSY? We have a lot of fun in Betsy.

Of course, it's all a very different sort of fun but that's probably because we're such a different sort of group. (I'd mention all our names but someone told me it wasn't ever wise to mention names -and anyway-it's so easy nowadays to get a reputation for being """' namedropper.)

I guess it's safe to give a few descriptions so you'll realize how really different we are.

Our driver - well, she's a riot!

She's always laughing about a lot of things, and sometimes even about nothing.

(Surprising we haven't had -any accidents lately.)

One of the juniors laughs a lot too. I don't know why though.

She's a chemistry major, and if I were a chemistry major ! don't think I'd laugh much.

Then there's our future airplane stewardess. She likes contemporary cards, boys over 6' 5", no classes on Fridays and . . . airplanes, I guess.

Fifteen minutes after I get into the car we pick up "our two cousins." (How about that for the title of a new T.V. series?) The

For just three glorious months of the year, the sun summons up_ all its energy and provides us with bathing suit and carefree-clothes weather. For some ')'oung ladies these months are not so glorious, but to those who possess the key to summer grooming and costuming, summer affords the opportunity to blossom from winter's hibernation; and, if they're careful, to keep that ~ell earned summer glow for months afterwards. It's a reward well worth the immediate and long range efforts.

City, country and resort living have special costume rules all their own for that "right" look that can mean the difference between ease and comfort and their unpleasant opposites. Here are just a few general suggestions which include some of the season's latest.

older one is BUBBLES.

(I guess

it's safe to use that name since it's only a made-up name and hardly anybody knows it.) Bubbles is helping me write my philosophy of life. We're doing it through introspection. Nice of her, huh? I don't think her younger cousin is too concerned about her philosophy. (She got engaged at Christmas.)

You may not be interested, but BUBBLES and I are planning on publishing a new, completely intellectual dictionary. In f.act, we've already composed the first word for it: "abernation."

This word has variations, of course; such as "abernating" and "abernatious" but the greatest thing about it is that we're the only ones who know what it means. Real intellectual , huh?

I can't leave out the last member of our crew since she's sur e to be famous some day. You sho uld read her poetry some tim e, then you'd know for yourself.

She's just an average college senior most of the time; that is, when she doesn't go around tel.ling people she's Robert Frost.

ard spotted bathing suit, or one featuring several shades of the same bold color. The cover-ups are the most exciting yet. The old terrycloth wrap has been discarded for the beach dress. It comes in materials varied from cotton poplin to silk shantung, and the multitude of bright prints and bold stripes can serve to reflect the inner you. Beautiful? Sophisticated?

Staying in town? You'll want clothes that are light and airy but still have that sophisticated, cosmopolitan look. Linen-like woven synthetics which resist creasing are the answer to a city girl's prayer. With a basic pleated skirt a whole world of separates can spice up a town wardrobe. One cotton suit is a must for both the town and the country wardrobes.

Country living (called "suburban" today) calls for cool clas-

sics: shirtwaist dresses for afternoon wear and culottes for daytime casuals. The country club takes the place of the beach and the tone around the pool is con, servative with a cover-up bathing i suit and less fl.ashy outer wear. On the tennis court the traditional white tennis suit only is proper.

Evening wear is governed by the locale again. In the city, crepe or blends in solid colors, simply and conservatively cut, prevail. At the shore, a silk print with a softer look keeps the ton e-unless you prefer stark white with a youthful camisole top. Ano-color silk with pleated skirt will carry you through a country cocktail party.

Wherever you go and whatever time of day it is, you can be assured that the maxim holds, "It you're not sure you look right, you don't." Happy summering!

The Significance Academic apparel has been the badge of the scholar for centuries and remains today the traditional way ·to symbolize the special dig nity and value of learn ing . As early as 1358 a solemn enactment was passed at Oxford which said, "It is h onorable and in accordance with reason that clerks to whom God has given an advantage over lay folk in th eir a dornments within , should likewise differ from the lay folk outward ly in dr ess."

At fir st ther e was n o difference betw een the plain black gown of the undergraduates and the bachelors of a r t and th e apparel of masters and doc tors. Today the mast er' s robe is distinguished by it s very long pointed sleeves, sewn together at th e bot tom but with slits at the elbows through which th e wear er's arms ar e thrust. The doctor's robe has fuller sleeves, wri s t l ength, and trimm ed wi th three bands of ve lv et eith er of the color of the w earer's degree or of black .

The or iginal ba ch elor of artc degre e signified the license to teach .

It wa s symboliz ed by th e act of placing a cap or biretta on th e h ead of t he student who had compl eted hi s pr epa rat ion . It is thought also that the cap ma y have become a part of the schol a r's costum e as a sign of hi s ind ependenc e for in Roman times, a slave, ' freed by law, was allowed to put a cap on. What ever th e origin, Oxford scholars hav e been wearing th e squ are cap we are now familiar wi th for hundred s of year s. Som e say it deriv es from th e square shape of the stud en t 's
