Ivelyn Pellegrino

daughters of Mr. and Mrs. D.
Vincent Pellegrino, was born in
Brooklyn, but has lived in Al­bany
most of her life. Before
coming to Saint Rose, she at­tended
Vincentian I n s I. i t ute,
where she was most interested
in literary and foreign language
activities.
At Saint Rose she enrolled as
a French major, but will gradu­ate
with a major in English.
However, Evelyn is still in­trigued
by foreign languages
and hopes to pursue this inter­est
in later studies. She is thinlt-ing
of studying Italian nexi

of the junior and senior class.

writer for the Rosaverian.
She is a member of Alpha Mu
Gamma, and Aliciam.
Among the activities she has
most enjoyed at Saint Rose is
the teaching of art she has done
at the LaSalle School. She feels
that her students taught her far
more than she taught them. Art
has always been one of her pet
interests and she hopes to do
much more with it in the future.
Her favorite painters are Goya,
Renior and Wyeth.
Next year she intends to work
for her master’s degree in Bri­tish
literature at either the Uni­versity
of Rhode Island or the
University of Connecticut. To
date, she has been accepted by
Rhode Island. Ultimately, she is
considering teaching on the col­lege
level, but she has no defi­nite
plans for her immediate
future.
