ose ARROW V ol. L A lb a n y , | \ | e w Yor^j^^EGE of Sm n t rose, A lbany, N. Y., March 25, 1936 No. 4 INTERCOLLEGIATE BALL The Intercollegiate Ball Committee of the College of St. Rose Alumnae would like to take this opporunity of thanking the student body for its splendid cooperation last year. We know that, without your presence in such large numbers, the Ball could not have been the great success it was, financially and socially. Did you enjoy being there as much as we enjoyed having you attend? The answer to that question lies in the answer to this one. Will you come again this year? To those of you who are somewhat baffled by the term Intercollegiate Ball— and consequently, by the entire paragraph above—let me explain : Last year, Mrs. Ruth Marshall Smith, then president of the Albany Graduate Club of the College of Saint Rose, conceived the idea of forming an intercollegiate organization made up of Capital District Alumni of Catholic Colleges. A committee of St. Rose Alumnae, under the chairmanship of Miss Helen C. Welsh, endeavored to contact as many colleges as possible. Eight colleges responded, and the result was an Intercollegiate Ball held at the Ten Eyck Hotel, on Easter Monday night. The financial profits realized by the College of St. Rose Alumnae were presented by Mrs. Smith to Mother Ros-ina. Large social dividends were paid to those who attended—with a promise of future dividends payable in another year. That promise is to be kept at the social event of the 1936 Easter season, which is to be held at the Ten Eyck Hotel, on Monday evening, April 13th. The participating collegeSj to date, are as follows: Georgetown University, Trinity College, Niagara University, College of New Rochelle, Holy Cross College, College of Mount Saint Vincent, and the College of St. Rose. Because of the small capacity of the Ten Eyck Ballroom, it is necessary to limit the number of bids sold. The St. Rose allotment, owing to the location of the college on the scene of activity, is larger than that given to other colleges, but it is still not large enough. In order to apportion the bids between the alumnae and the student body, it is necessary that wc have an estimate of the numl)cr who wish to attend. To do this we ask VACATION PETITION GRANTED The petition, presented by Miss Dorothy Taaffe, President of the Senior Class and signed by two hundred of the students, requesting an extension of the Easter vacation, is granted. Classes will, therefore, be resumed on Monday morning, April the twentieth at eight fifteen. The academic year of 1935-36 is rapidly nearing its close. Upon the use that is made of the remaining weeks will depend the success or failure of the year’s work. Yjours is the opportunity to choose between success and failure. No teacher can supply for lack of application or interest on the part of a student nor can any college faculty confer degrees upon students who have not measured at least up to the minimum requirements. The catalogue is su ciently explicit in the matter of requirements and the members of the faculty are ever ready to give any aid or explanation that is desired or needed. There is no excuse for ignorance. The penitential season of Lent is now more than half over. Is it not wise to check up on our Lenten practices and, if we have failed to keep them generously, to renew them whole-heartedly so that we may not lose the benefit that may be gained by the sacrifice of small conveniences? The last few days of this week will give you a splendid opportunity of checking up on Lenten resolutions as well as of taking an inventory of your spiritual condition. An annual Retreat, furnishing as it does leisure for silent and serious reflection on the truths of our holy faith, is an occasion when the light of God’s grace dispels the darkness born of distractions and worldly pursuits, and floods the soul with light to see what is right and the will with strength to accomplish that right. All students, but especially the Seniors, should endeavor to enter seriously into the exercises of the Retreat, for much of your future success will depend upon the choice of your life-work which you will probably make during this Retreat and a very powerful influence for making a good Retreat is to realize that upon the use or abuse of the graces received during these days of silence and recollection may depend your eternal salvation. Do not be a slacker in matters spiritual—there is too much at stake. S. R. L. you to sign the notice on the Student Bulletin Board as soon as possible. When the bids are placed on sale (in about a week), they will be held on reserve for a day or two for those who have signed for them—after which they will be sold to any student who desires one, whether signed for or not. By making a success of this affair, on the basis of cooperation with other Catholic collegiate representatives in this district, we hope to encourage interest in the establishment of a permanent intercollegiate organization under whose auspices much may be accomplished in the field of Catholic action. THE GREEKS HAD A WORD FOR IT. I think that I shall never see, A course quite like Greek History. The Greeks who start in ’steen B. C. And end their lives about A.D. Poems are made by fools like me. But who invented history? ST. ROSE RIDING MEET To those of you who signed up for riding in September and who have been faithful members of the St. Rose Riding Club ever since, this article is not intended. But to those riders who have, for various reasons, many of them legitimate, got out of the habit of coming to Troop B. Armory on Thursday evenings, we offer this word to the wise. The Annual Spring Meet is not far in the offing. Mounts have already been assigned, and work in drilling and in jumping has been begun. Old members of the club appreciate the amount of practice which necessarily precedes a meet such as the St. Rose Riding Club annually presents. New members can readily understand that here is an appropriate application of the old maxim that “practice makes perfect.” Prizes will be awarded, remember, for excellence in fonn-riding, jumping, etc. on the night of the meet. If you’ve had an attack of spring fever, now is your chance to snap out of it. Let’s see you at the Troop B. Armory every Thursday night from now on!
