By DORT DeCUFFA R n i l d i n g F u n d M a k e s R e p o r t O n C o n c e r t On May 3 the Chairmen of all the Concert Committees will meet for dinner and a business meeting. Although all proceeds are not in yet, an estimate will be made of this year’s totals. The number of patrons and advertisers for the 1956 program exceeded that of any previous year. It is especially noteworthy that the number of clergy of the diocese answering our appeal increased and the number of parents who were patrons reached an all-time high. The student Committee will be able to report that their Bake Sale more than covered the expense of the post-Concert dance. In fact they are able to cover the cost of the busses hired to take the Glee Club members to rehearsal and Concert. Joan Dromgoole will present her successor, Judy Mesick, to the Committee. That all-important group of workers, the Mothers of the Saint Rose students, met last night to discuss this year’s activities and to plan for next year. Mrs. Kyran Maher chaired the highly successful Smorgasbord and the Mothers Concert Committee this year, and Mrs. William Dollard was Chairman of the fine Card Party. The final financial results of the big affair will be announced soon. T H E F O R G O T T E N Alone in the wastelands of a white, white plain; I exist on the nose of a romantic swain. The girls all adore me, and the men — they ignore me. But what do I care that I’m just a brown speckle That commonly goes by the name of a freckle? —Rosemary Kallenburg, ’59 NSA REPORT . . . (continued from page 3) The meeting for campus coordinators and student government members concerning NSA on the campus was another innovation. This successful idea was carried out in the form of group dyanmics. The group concluded that: 1. NSA on the campus is a committee serving all the students through the Student Government and clubs. 2. The NSA campus committee is not another club on campus, but a committee acting as an arm of Student Government. 3. The NSA campus committee is the “idea branch” of Student Governmen and is not essentially a “project organization.” These ideas form the basic structure of a campus committee. These were not originated at this meeting but were reiterated because of the realization that too many campuses have knowingly substituted other values and standards for an NSA campus committee. In Medieval and Tudor England, May Day was a great public holiday. All classes of people were up at dawn and went a-Maying. Branches of flowers and trees were brought back in triumph to the towns and villages, the centre of the procession being occupied by a Maypole—glorious with ribbon and wreaths. These Maypoles were a special eyesore to the Pilgrims. They were forbidden by Parliament in 1644 and came into favor after the Restoration. May Day was selected as an International Labor Holiday by the International Socialist Congress of 1889. It has since been selected by trade unions, Socialist parties and labor organizations in general for public celebration except the United States, Canada and Italy. It was intended that workers have a holiday on this day, and is an official holiday in Russia. In Albany, May 1, 1947, a “May Day Rally” was held at the College of Saint Rose. The demonstration of faith on the part of the 500 participants was so sincere that a pattern was formulated for Albany and the first Public May Day was held Saturday, May 1, 1948. It consisted of a parade and a program of prayer “for our country and the world.” 4,000 people participated. In 1951 this May Day demonstration grew into a Diocesan-wide event. On that day, 70,000 people participated, The Marian Year May Day brought new honor and increased devotion to the Blessed Mother, 80,000 people participated, May 1, 1954, Rain or shine, patriotic citizens marched the streets of Albany to honor Mary and pray for peace. It rained on Sunday, May 1, 1949 and it rained May 1, 1953. Despite the unceasing downpours, 50,000 people from 100 communities in the diocese united in tribute to God and country in 1953. For its public affirmation of faith and for its positive emphasis on peace, the 1952 May Day won for the College of Saint Rose the “George Washington Medal of Honor” from the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge as “May Day—^American Plan.” May Day 1956 is a public profession of faith in God, an expression of honor due to the Queen of Peace, and an affirmation of the American Way of Life—freedom under God.
