‘International
Group’ Grows
At Saint Rose
Nine Girls Claim
Foreign Countries
As Their Birthplace
May is the month of Mary. Here
at the College of Saint Rose we
see Our Lady as mother of all
peoples cf all countries, of all races
A few of her internatioral children
are gathered here Pt Saint Rose
to study. Nine girls from countries
other than the United States live
on the campus and attend classes
along with the girls from various
states of America. Poland, Italy,
China, Spain, -Cuba, Puerto Rico,
and Guatemala are all represented
by charming examples of the
womanhood of Europe and Cen­tral
America.
There may be a question in
your mind as to how these girls
decided to come to Saint Rose.
They learned of the school in vari­ous
ways.
Conchita Sanchez Roca, who is
now a sophomore, met Sister Tho­mas
Francis two years ago in Cuba.
Through this meeting, Conchita
decided to come to Saint Rose.
Conchita was born in Spain, but
now makes her home in Havana,
Cuba during the summer. Saint
Rose Hall during the winter
months.
From Poland comes Maria Geiy-ster.
Through Father Cahill, Maria
learned of our school and decided
to come here. On campus, Maria
lives in Saint Ann’s Hall.
In our enrollment, we have two
girls as representatives of Puerto
Rico, both living in Gonzaga Hall.
Teresa Rodriguez ard Melida Char-neco
are their names. Peggy Mc­Cormick
helped Teresa decide on
the College of Saint Rose, and
through correspondence, Melida
came to Albany.
Esperanza Reyes, from Cuba, like
Conchita, met Sister Thomas
Francis and thus learned of Saint
Rose and made up her mind to
study here. Esperanza, also a soph­omore,
resides in Saint Terese Hall.
Lidia Perdomo is a native of
Guatemala living in Gonzaga
Hall. A few other daughters of
this country have before attended
Saint Rose and, after seeing how
pleased they were with the school,
Lidia herself decided to come here.
Our two Chinese delegates live
in Saint Ann’s Hall. Grace Yu and
Ellen Chan travelled to America
to study under scholarships given
by a Chinese priest. Though China
did seem far away, these girls have
certainly made it seem very close
to us.
Rosalie Meola, from Italy, now
makes her home in Amsterday.
She wanted to study near home,
in a Catholic school, and therefore
Saint Rose met her qualifications
perfectly, and more so, she says.
Lourdes Hall is her home on cam­pus.
Many of the girls have relatives
and friends here in North America,
and often visit them during vaca­tions.
By the pleasant greetings
and cheerful smiles which are ex­changed
between the Latin Ameri­can
and European students and
those from the United States, we
can conclude that the true spirit
of friendship prevails at the Col­lege
of Saint Rose, as peaceful
Rosa Mystica watches over all of
us.

NFCCS Regional Meeting
(Continued from Page 1)
son conducted a meeting of the Na­tional
Mariology Commission and
also had an exhibit.
The general meeting of the Con­g
r e s s began at three o’clock. Mr.
George Carroll, personal represent­ative
of Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, FBI
chief who could not be present
himself because of pressing duties
in Washington, addressed the as­semblage.
Miss Catherine Sherry
from the college of Mount Saint
Vincent, president of the region for
1946-47, gave a talk and introduced
Mr. James Dougherty from La­Salle
College, Philadelphia, newly-elected
National president of the
Federation for the coming year.
The Congress closed with an ad­dress
by Mr. Thomas Curran, sec­retary
of state of the state of New
York. This was followed by a tea
dance at Saint John’s.
Smarticles
We hope that you are all enjoy­ing
the beautiful weather. Rose­buds.
Look around you and see
the gorgeous flowers, the soft
colors and the cute cotton dresses.
These days are certainly tempters,
turning all our thoughts from
books to sunshine, the outdoors
and summer. ’Tis a sad condition
before exams.
As we glance into the fashion
world, we notice that the most out­standing
feature of cottons is the
variey of necklines that are evi­dent.
The scooped deep, rather than
wide, cut, the saw-tooth neckline
and the off-the-shoulder effects lend
a blissfully cooling air. Twin bows
on the shoulders in place of sleeves
help combat the heat of the ten­nis
court for the more active stu­dents.
No matter what style your
newest cotton is, it is probably
trimmed with lace. Both lace and
eyelet are being used extensively
for all types of collars and cuffs.
And remember, when you select
your cottons, that the lowered hem­line
is top fashion news. Let down
your dresses of last year or add a
ruffle to the bottom and you will
be a la mode—for a while, at least.
The freshmen were the most
eager students in their efforts to
greet the first warm day with cot­tons.
Amelita Greenley wore a
sweet pink and brown striped cot­ton
with long sleeves and a high
neck. Mary Daly selected a white
dress with a brown fruit print. The
pleated skirt and the pale blue
glass buttons on the shoulder line
made the dress especially striking.
Cotton skirts are as popular as
ever, but trimming seems to be es­sential
for them also. Pat O’Neill
has a pretty blue skirt with an eye­let
ruffle near the hemline. Wear­ing
a cool blouse with it, Pat was
definitely in a position to laugh at
the sun.
Last summer our hair was worn
up, whether it would stay there or
not. Braids are still cool and preva­lent,
but the more recent coiffures
are much easier to arrange. If
your hair is long, simply draw it
back behind your ears and fnsten
it with a bright, wide barrette.
From “Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay” we learned that hair
is very attractive parted in the
middle and twirled in coils cover­ing
each ear. If your hair is in the
feather cut stage, why not try side
bangs for the warm weather?
When you select your dark
glasses to prevent (or hide) crow’s
feet around the eyes, please remem­ber
that they come in many at­tractive
styles. Do not purchase
the first pair you see and then be
the unwilling victim of jibes for
the rest of the vacation. The shape
should not be too extreme; the
color of the rims should match
your accessories.
Anv mention of Spring brings
the Senior Ball decorations to
mind. The forsythia and the deli­cately
colored streamers made
everyone feel happy and hopeful.
Peg Knaus looked lovely in a
dreamy white chiffon gown with
rhinestones on the straps and dot­ted
across the bodice. Another
cool white gown was worn by Bar­bara
McNieze. Its stunning sim­plicity
was accentuated by a high
neck and cap sleeves.
Sophomore Marcia Burns wore
pink marquisette trimmed with
luxurious ostrich feathers, while
Pat Allen chose a black, pink and
white cotton dress. An unusual
shade of grayish-blue made Mary
Duval’s dress very “special.” The
gown was made of quilted taffeta
with a narrow band of Irish lace
along the top and bottom. Fayne
Powers appeared in a pink net
dress with a wide, black lace ruf­fle
at the neckline and a black
lace peplum. Of course, everyone
looked gorgeous, and we are wait­ing
to see you emerge from
exams with the same radiance to
carry you through the Rose Day
Dance!
Glance around and you’ll see that
straight box jackets are invading
the campus. Jane McCormack has
a smart grey suit with a straight
skirt and an attractive box jacket
to match. The jacket is trimmed
with a single row of silver buttons.
A contrasting box jacket is Anne
Cavallo’s choice. She brightens up
her solid colored skirts with her
jacket of brown, red, and white.
Geraldine Fitzgerald achieves a
very chic appearance in a kelly
green jacket of this type.
Results of Club Elections
CAMILLIENNE
Ways and means of contributing
to the building fund were discussed
at the last meeting of Camillierne,
the nursing club, on April 28. The
suggestion decided upon was a food
sale. Josephine LaLima, ’47, was
chosen chairman.
Jane Coakly and Dorothy Kreu-ger,
’50, were elected co-chairmen
of the Vista, annual publication of
the nursing department. A com­mittee
of four including Rosemary
Flynn, Patricia Quinn, Anne Toole,
and Nancy Gable, all of the class
of 1950, were appointed by the
co-chairmen.
CORONA EXIMIA
Recently elections for officers
of Corona Eximia resulted in Mary
Francis Navratil taking the post
of consul; Thelma Joyce, aedile;
and Mary Wilson, quaestor.
A solemn installation of these
new officers was held yesterday
afternoon at four o’clock. Speeches
in Latin were given by the re­tiring
and present consuls after
which the fasces, symbol of con­sulship,
was presented by consul
Kay Holes to consul Navratil.
Present members, and those who
will be admitted into Corona Ex­imia
in the fall, were pi’esent at
this ceremony.
LE SALON de MARIANNE
Miss Catherine Boylan gave a
book review on Joy by Bernanos at
the last meeting of Le Salon de
Marianne, held May 6. Miss Boy­lan
included in her discussion an
account of the mysticism which en­tered
into the book.
After the lecture, elections for
next year’s officers were held.
Rosemarie Salamone was elected
president, Mary Layden, secretary;
and Theresa Foisy, treasurer.
In open defiance of the weather
man. Kay Fitzpatrick has been
sporting a crisp gingham of black,
green, and white plaid with a
black patent belt and touches of
white pique.
Geri Fitzgerald is greeting the
spring in a ytllow cotton frosted
with eyelet.
Pat McGrath returned from Eas­ter
recess wearing a gray wool
suit trimmed with scrolls of
fuschia.
Ann Cadwell was bombarded with
at the Senior Ball. She wore a
frothy gown of white chiffon----
strictly for the angels!
Another interesting trend to
make jackets a bit different this
year is accomplished by the cape
effect. Peg Cahill has a brown and
white checked suit with capes over
each sleeve. Gloria Tetrault’s navy
cape suit is smartly trimmed with
a sequin design of a green and red
flower.
Our vote of admiration goes to
Nancy Burns for her new coat.
Nancy chose a full-length, fitted
coat of light beige. A double row
of round gold buttons down the
front gives the coat an extra ap­peal.
Incidentally, a sneak pre­view
of the latest fashions indi­cates
that pink shortie coats are
ideal for cool summer evenings.
For Sunday afternoon engage­ments,
Saint Rose students choose
prints or pastels. Eileen Thomas
has the print problem well under
control with her brown silk print
ornamented with pink and yellow
floral designs. A solid aqua crepe
with a low sweetheart neck and
cap sleeves helped Mary Conroy to
bring some sunshine to the sopho­more
boarders.
ADVICE: (to the would-be em­ployee,
who is planning an inter­view
for a position this summer.)
We beg you, do not overlook the
value of a fresh, cool, tailored ap
pearance! Don a crisp, non-crush-able
cotton and dress it up with
sparkling white accessories. Linen
or eyelet hats or the starched lace
Dutch caps can always be kept
fresh. Milan straw hats are smart
and the crownless cut with a grace­ful
brim is always attractive.
Remember that gloves are the
mark of a lady! For dresses with
cap sleeves, use a white pair of
gauntlets. Try very short cotton
gloves for use with three quarter
and full length sleeves. Straw bags
are desirable because they fit in
with any summer outfit. Washable
covers with embroidered mono­grams
should be included in every­one’s
wardrobe also.
To keep cool for exam week, we
offer you the perfect solution—
don’t worry, keep calm, SMILE!

of the National Association for the
Advancement* of Colored People,
adderssed the group, stressing pre­sent
day trends in dealing with
racial prejudice.
