Four THE RO SA V E R IAN March 7, 1958 Boston Charms Clever Classics Majors; Education, Fun Narks Whirlwind Weekend By ROSEMARY KENNY It was in a state of excitement and nervous tension that the classics-minded group comprising two sisters of St. Joseph, Sister Emily Joseph and Sister Catherine Bede, and four Saint Rose girls, Juliette Antunes, Bernadette Verdile, Sally Doyle, and Rosemary Kenny, set out for Boston, on February 14. The excitement was quite natural since for most of us this was our first classics convention. The nervous tension Snow Closes School! Snow Paralyzes City Snow! Snow! Snow! The blizzard of ’58 hit Albany Sunday, Feb. 16, and left' behind 17.6 inches of snow and below-zero temperatures The result: (excuse the pun) there was “s’no school” on Monday, Feb. 17, the first ti.me in the history of the College. For boarders and dayhops alike this meant a reprieve from books but an added sentence of t^e snow shovel as walks and driveways were cleared. In fact, Sunday morning, Father Gla-vin had a team of angels pushing him up and down Madison Avenue. Drifts in some areas mounted to undreamed of heights. Houses and un-garaged cars were tucked in their feathery blanket. People even began to scoff at the notion of the earth getting warmer and a few would-be-authors began their journals “The Week We Were Snowbound.” Children were ecstatic, building tunnels from house to house. It was a time to remember. The following Friday, Feb. 21, a toboggan party was held to put this snow to good use. From 8:30 to 11 p.m. the hills at Municipal Golf Course were filled with girls—going down the hill with a shriek and climbing back up with a puff. TVje often heard remark seemed to be “Why don’t they get a tow line?” Sixty sports-minded young ladies turned out and back in for refreshments—hot coffee and soda — in the Club House. Red faces, smiles and ski sweaters marked the gathering, a happy compensation for those who had planned the party: Peg Ruditis, Social Committee chairman: Ellen Beth Michaelis, Sue Maher, Fran Harlfinger — publicity; Elaine Cristalli, Alice Brumagim, Mary Lou Cal-leo— bus arrangements. was also quite natural, as one cf the party had not made the t ain by starting time. Fortunately, trains do not always run right on schedule, and its delay that morning was enough to enable the missing member of the party to join us. The train ride itself was uneventful, and in no time we arrived in Boston. After a Boston shore dinner, we took in the current hit play, “No Time for Sergeants.” Saturday morning, we attended Mass at Our Lady of the Railways’ Chapel in South Station, got in some hurried shopping, and arrived breathless at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Here, we not only delighted in the art of ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, but also saw the two Rembrandt masterpieces acquired by the museum for $1,000,000.00. —Rev. Schoder Speaks A t Philips Academy. Andover, we finally came to the highlight of our whole trip. Dr. Savage, former head of the classics department of Fordham University, opened the meeting with a paper on Vergil's fourth Georgic. Following this venerable, erudite scholar, was Raymond V. Schoder. S.J., head of the classics department of West Baden College, and former director of the Vergilian Summer School at Cumae. Father illustrated his highly interesting, informative, and entertaining lecture on the Vergilian countryside with magnificent color slides. A tea and a showing of three unusual Vergiliana collections. Thus ended our classical convention, and when we boarded the Saturday night train for Albany, exhausted but happy, we were just that much more certain of two things: classicists are the most amiable people in the world, and the classics can be fun. • • ■ M M HK T> CHOOMt. Peek Thro' The Curtain At Interclass Plays The suspense is growing. Small groups of girls are seen in confidential meetings. The race is on to use the auditorium during the evening. The reason for this is the approaching of interclass play competition. The names and even the themes of the plays are still a secret and. unless there is a “slip o’ the tongue.” they will remain so until the night of March 21. —Seniors Confident Serena Han, director of the senior play remarked, "This play has a theme that is unusual. It is about something that happens every day but to which we pay little or no attention." Members of the cast of the senior play include; Eileen Bishop, Carol Daly, Fran Durso, Elaine Kokoski, Sheila Mahony, Simone Manny, and Adriene Wrob-lewski. —Juniors Optimistic Trapping the junior play director, Yolanda Montuoro, we extracted this statement, "It (the play) is going to be entirely different from what the class of 1959 has previously presented, and we hope the audience will enjoy it."

Lydia Cevers, Lois Fenzl, Ton-ita Ferradino, Pat Opar, arid Rosemary Reilly make up the crew. —Freshmen Enthusiastic "Win, lose or draw—the class of '61 is ahead because of the wonderful time we are having on and off stage with our unique play." This is the statement of Terry Higgins, fresjh-man class play director. If the number of girls in the play is any indicator of success, the freshmen have the prize with Rosalie Cimino, Ellen Conway, Ann Hurley, Martha LaCroix, Maureen Mulligan, Ellen Murphy, Mary Beth Nolan, Myrna O’Neil, Judith Rundel, Marguerite Tate, and Catherine Wurz.
