Well, here we are again, your
favorite Annoyances, back to heckle
and harangue! !
SPORTS SECTION:
Our brother (?) Cy Siena must
have been “mi-ty” happy to see all
the Rosebuds cheering him on at
the Boston College-Siena game Sat­urday
night.
Wonder why Dolors Mogan was
more interested in the Jay-Vee
game than the Varsity? Isn’t his
name Jim, Dolors?
The gold of the attractive Saint
Rose jackets blended nicely with
the green and gold of Siena—wasn’t
it fortunate that so many girls were
wearing them?
Eleancre Grldley was there with
a mysterious man. We didn’t catch
his name but nice going, Eleanor.
HAVE YOU HEARD:
That Bubbles Clarke and Ted are
a new item in the “going-together”
department?
That Jean Benson and Chuck are
spending quite a bit of time (See
Webster, definitions 1, 2, and 3) in
each other’s company?
That Rosemary Harte, our blond,
blue-eyed senior nurse, seems to be
making quite an impression on
Jim?
That Frank is gone for thirteen
months after a wonderful, wonder­ful
two weeks furlough. Dry your
eyes, Jean Carroll, what’s thirteen
months in your young life. (“Old
rockin’ chair’s got us, hmm hmm
hmmhmm hmm.”)
That Mary McGeever’s mother
wouldn’t let her go out during
Thanksgiving vacation? Hate to
admit we’re slipping, McGee, but
we never did hear the outcome of
that.
That Marion Mahoney goes with
Pro from R.P.I. . . . how DO you
do it, Breathless? Chuckle, chuckle,
chuckle! ! !
That Peg Fisher is all excited
about the Siena formal; she’s going
with Joe.
That Ann Cavallo’s favorite song
is the “Funeral Dirge” . . . it
MUST have something to do with
that prospective mortician from
Utica!
That Sally O’Neill is very excited
about Christmas vacation . . • her
sailor, Bob, is coming home from
California on leave.
That lunch at Stittig’s is just
another meal for most of the girls
but to K"thie Pedlow it means
ambrosia and nectar AND Bob.
That Nancy Gable’s vacation
should prove to be one mad merry-go-
round . . . running down to
West Point and entertaining Steve,
her Marine; who will be home for
Christnras.
That M »ry Zwack has a gorgeous
Christmas present all ready to send
to Jack in Japan.
That Betty Ahem has petitioned
for a nice, new, shiny, brass fire­man’s
pole in the dorm . . . i-un-ning
down the stairs is too slow an
approach to the phone booth,
especially when Frank is on the
other end of the line!
That none less than the famous
“Kilroy” visited Cabrini Hall Satur­day
night!
That R<‘na C?rr and Herky were
spotted by our foreign (Troy)
agents at the Siena-Texas A & M
game.
That Kae Mu.sselman receives
oodles of mail from California,
U. S. A. every day.
COUPLE OF THE WEEK:
Siena—S^int Rose, play—rehear­sals,
sandwiches—coffee, “Alice—
Ed”, Eileen and Fred.
Well, be good, little girls, or Santa
won’t bring ya nuttin’ but we will
in the next issue.
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year to each of you.
THE ROSEBUGABOOS
These days your head is in a
whirl, and you have the hours and
minutes counted till that glorious
Christmas holiday. It’s all going to
be one breathless round. You have
Christmas dances on your mind,
and there will be afternoons of
fun, too.
Dresses are hanging in your
closet waiting to take you gaily
through all the flurry of Christmas
festivities. For our Christmas sug­gestion,
we offer this new dress to
be made of a bold end beautiful
toast-warm plaid. You’ll love its
smooth simplicity, its high, throat-hugging
collar, and its smartness.
When you have finished making it,
add your favorite leather belt, and
attend the party in grand style.
Plaid skiits are pleated and
prevalent. The color combina­tions
are unusual, practical and
so-o pretty. Sylvia De Antonis has
a dusty rose and white skirt with
tiny brown, green, and blue cross
stripes. Light blue, navy blue, and
white are skillfully combined to
make Jane Cokely’s skirt very
“special.” Anne OBryan wears a
pleated skirt of huge squares of
brown and cream that looks per­fect
w'ith her brown, collar-less
blazer. No list of skirts would be
complete if it didn’t include the
pink and light blue plaid of Lu­cille
Maschiri.
Tan, brown, and yellow plaid
makes Pat Allan’s suit strikingly
stylish. The skirt is liberally sup­plied
with deep pleats. Plaids are
prominent in dresses, too. Mary
Gagan dashed about the Science
Hall recently in a smart wool twill
dress of large cocoa and gray
squares. The dress had a high
neck, and brown buttons down the
back.
Soft wool aqua plaid makes
Catherine Kennedy’s dress appeal­ing.
Fitted bodice, full skirt and
black patent leather belt complete
the outfit.
Marian Neville certainly helps to
liven up any classroom in her royal
blue wool dress with the small
Peter Pan collar. Another “color
for cheerfulness” fan might be
Marilyn larossi who brightens up
a dull day with her gold wool
dress. It is trimmed with gold mo­tif
on the neck and peplum.
Even stately black outfits have
their dash of brilliance. Leah Bar-zak’s
black gown has cap sleeves
of tomato x’ed and yellow. Red and
light blue bands around the neck­line
and below the waist make Es­telle
Della Valle’s black wool out­standing.
Shirley Butts has a black
suit with a metallic gold braid
trimming the neckline and arm­holes;
it is one of the stunning
suits of the year! Yes, for the
touch of gaiety, “Bright on Black”
seems ideal.
The Glee Club rehearsals were
the occasions for many beautiful
dresses to appear. Eleanor Wil­liams
came in a black crepe with
a high, round neck, cap sleeves,
and a cluster of silver snowflakes
on the left shoulder. Also adding
her voice to the chorus was Mary
Zwack. Mary wore a black dress
with a straight skirt and a tunic
effect. Three silver birds orna­mented
the left shoulder and the
right side of the tunic. Mary Jane
McEvoy looked lovely in a navy
blue wool, dressmaker suit. It was
complimented with an unusual,
large pin of tiny rhinestones. Gray
wool was the choice of Helen Mc­Dermott.
Her dress had elbow-length
sleeves, and many large,
wafer-thin, silver buttons.
We have noticed many fashion­able
dresses about lately. Claire
Finn has a gold crepe with black
sequins scattered about the blouse.
A tan top effectively sets off Julia
Walsh’s navy blue bolero dress.
Barbara McNamara has a sweet
black velveteen dress with bright
silver buttons and an oblong
buckle.
Perfect for the frosty weather is

Saturday, November 31, two Saint
Rose girls left for Poughkeepsie
where they attended the Vassar
College Conference sponsored by
the Carnegie Endowment for Inter­national
Relations Clubs. These
two girls, Mary Barron, senior, and
Carolina Connors, junior, represent­ed
Saint Rose at this meeting.
The main topic of discussion at
the convention was “Our American
Foreign Policy.” The discussion was
opened with a talk by Dr. Grayson
L. Kirk, Professor of Government
at Columbia University. Dr. Kirk
was United States delegate to the
San Francisco Conference. His
speech was followed by a round
table discussion on the American
policy in Europe, Near East, Far
East, and Western Hemisphere.
Following this, each girl was al­lowed
to choose her own topic of
interest and attend the lectures
given on the subject. The Saint
Rose delegates attended the confer­ence
on European affairs.
Sunday afternoon elections were
held and it was decided that next
year’s meeting would be held at
Georgetov/n University. A student
at Trinity College was elected sec­retary
of the Club.
The closing session was in the
form of two speeches. The prin­cipal
speakers were Mr. J. Alvarez
del Varyo, former foreign minister
of Loyalist government in Spain
during the Civil War, and Mr, Lin­ton
M. Oak, managing editor of the
“New Leader”.

And She Told Her
“And how did you lose your job
at the dress shop, Dorothy?” asked
friend Elizabeth.
“Oh,” said Dorothy, “it was just
because something I said. After I
tried twenty dresses on a woman,
she said ‘I think I’d look nicer in
something flowing’ and so I asked
her why she didn’t go jump in the
river.”
Snedley: “I hear you buried your
wife ,old chap.
Second Englishman: “Yes, I had
to; dead, you know.”
Betty Lauro’s Bombay lamb coat.
It has the new full sleeves that
tighten at the wrists. Dolores Cav­anaugh
received a premature gift
from Santa Claus. It’s a gorgeous
mouton lamb coat with a matching
bag.
And for the Christmas season,
the Rosebuds have exhibited their
red and green in no uncertain man­ner.
Jean Killian has the perfect
answer for holiday green in her
short jacket suit with the tiny
cloth buttons. For red, we recom­mend
that everyone see Audrey
Greene’s very “merry” wool dress.

The question asked by Campus
Quiz this time was: “When did you
stop believing in Santa Claus and
how did you feel when you discov­ered
that the good man didn’t
really exist?”
The girls all said they had been
disappointed and felt something
was missing from Christmas the
first year they were without Saint
Nick. Some admitted one of their
reactions had been: “If there isn’t
any Santa Claus, maybe there won’t
be any presents, cither.” When as­sured
there would be gifts regard­less,
they didn’t feel quite so badly.
Here are the answers,
Patricia Morgan—’49
When I was seven years old I
firmly believed in Santa Claus. It
was then that my younger sister
decided to inform me otherwise. It
really took some convincing to
shake my belief and I never have
lived down being “younger” than
my baby sister.
Peg McCormack—*47
My second grade teacher told us
that there was no Santa Claus; I
have never forgiven her for her
careless disillusioning of little chil­dren.
I must admit, though, that I
thoroughly enjoyed knowing “so
much more” than my younger
brother.
Grace Maloy—’47
An attempt to make my belief
come to a screeching halt came at
the early age of six years when my
adult brothers, one and two years
my seniors, exposed “Santa” very
busily enjoying his midnight snack
in the person of my mother, and I
remember my father was helping
her out by taking generous bites of
the cake I had saved from dinner.
I was pretty dumb, though, I didn’t
react the way my brothers expected
me to. All I got out of the scene
was the fact that Dad was eating
my cake.”
Peggy O’Connell—’48
“Being a gullible child I was ten
years old before I disbelieved in
Santa Claus. It so happened that
I left a letter for him in the cellar
and nty family didn’t know it. I
was terribly disappointed.”
Geri Winkle—’47
“One of my girl friends who was
a little older than myself, six to be
exact, told me there wasn’t any
Santa Claus. But of course I didn’t
believe her till I saw the man next
door putting on the suit. I was a
little disappointed but got over it
very quickly when I discovered I
received what I asked for despite
the fact that there wasn’t any
Santa Claus.”
Marian Neville—’47
“I was eight years old when I
first heard that there wasn’t a
Santa Claus. My cousin who was a
year younger than I was the bearer
of the sad news. I was very disap­pointed,
but was relieved on Christ­mas
morning when I found my fa­ther
was a better provider than
Santa.”
Dorothy Swan—’48
“At the age of seven I realized
that there was no Santa Claus. Al­though
having suspected it for a
year previous it was a great shock
when I learned it to be the truth.
Of course the true meaning of
Christmas remained, but truthfully
speaking, I really lost a little of
the Christmas fun from then on.
P. S.—There really is a Santa
Claus and he will be at the Saint
Rose Christmas party tomorrow
night. (I expect the Saint Rose
Chamber of Commerce to pay for
this plug, naturally.) ____

“How old are you, little girl?
Ten?” When you were twelve and
people asked you that question,
weren’t you positively insulted?
Didn’t you long to be old enough
to show your age?
When you were a high and
mighty mature senior in high
school, did strangers always seem
to ask you how you liked being in
the eighth grade? Did you ever
wonder how long it would take
before they would realize that you
were “old”?
Of course, now you’re in college.
Still, there are times, embarrassing
times to say the least, when that
“young” look shows right through
your “professional” make-up. Do
you long to look "old”?
If you have been troubled by this
"young” look, just imagine yourself
ten years from now. We won’t say
how old you will be, but you prob­ably
will have a family a n d ----- a
family? Why, that means you’ll be
old! Hmmmmm! Will you want
to be old then, or will you start to
forget a few birthdays?
And just wait until you’re a
grandmother. You’ll be positively
ancient----- or will you? Do you
want to be old? I guess it all de­pends
on the picture you have of
old age.
Well, the next time you’re down
by the reference shelves in the
library, take an extra minute to
glance at the autographed framed
poem on the wall. It is personally
addressed to the College of Saint
Rose, and signed by Joseph Camp­bell,
who is now a Jesuit priest. It
dates from 1930, but its message
can never be dated. Don’t you
agree?
As a white candle
In a holy place.
So is the beauty
Of an aged face.
As the spent radiance
Of the winter sun.
So is the woman
With her travail done.
Her brood gone from her
And her thoughts as still
As the waters
Under a ruined mill.
