Well, another Senior Ball has gone
by to the tune of Bernie Collins, and
we certainly hope it isn’t the last.
Some of the seniors who were there
were Loretta Barnett and Everett
Darlinton, Rita Haber and Warren
Davis, Joan Daley and Charles Bran-nan,
Irene Junkum and Roger Mc­Intyre,
Joan Maloy and Ensign Arthur
Callahan, Jane Fitzsimmons and Con­nie
Gander, Margaret Conboy and Pvt.
James Scanlon, Mary Nestor and John
Conlin, Pat Howley and Jack Rehfuss,
May Walther and Edward Flynn,
Marie Pollack and Cyril Dalb, Marion
Proxmire and George Killian, Letitia
McCarthy and Jack Lucey, Kay Dwyer
and Capt. James Duffy, Fran Fagan
and Bob Barrows.
Seen at the dance—
Mary Kay O’Neill, having a fine
time with Jimmy McGirr . . . Eileen
O’Brien, swinging out with Kenneth
Walker . . . Mary Gaffney, in the
social room and on the floor with Bill
Grandon . . . Mary Rich, taking a turn
about the room with Bill Parker . . .
Peggy Murphy, who was of ’43, back
to join in the fun . . . Kay Gray and
George Whaler with Jane Baylis and
Martin Kenny.
Our girls did all right for them­selves,
war or no war. Take our word
for it; we don’t think th a t any of
them suffered those after-the-ball-is-over-
blues.
Pat Klein and Mary Hughes, erst­while
’43ers both have been married
very recently. Half the fun of the
wedding is the reception . . . hey,
Georgia?
Marion Proxmire must have had
one fine time on safari! How did
Auggie Schilacci make out on her
trip to the biggest city?
Poor Mary Keenan . . . home sick
with measles. Don’t worry, Mary; it’s
an ill wind . . .
That rosy glow emanating from Rita
O’Donnell means th a t George was
home from Hawaii for a few days.
That turned out to be quite a phone
call Alice Bibby got from California
the other day. Only it didn’t come
from as ta r west as all th a t . . . just
a little bit west of North Pearl Street,
from a place known as Union Station.
And who was it from? Just a sailor
from the Solomons named Leo, who’s
been away two years too long!!!
Speaking of sailors . . . it was almost
old times seeing Bob McCormick up
on Madison Avenue last weekend . . .
almost like old times except for the
beard
Has Mary Ann Gilroy told you about
her friend Chuck from Siena and his
smooth pilot friend who shot down
all the Japs?
Some more seniors are going to New
York next weekend to find out why
Joan Hayes likes it there so well! If
they find out they promise to let us
all know . . . or do we!?!
Mary Liz Martin went to Syracuse
to see Bob last week.
With these few bits of news we close
our report on guys and gals, hoping
th a t in spite of the shortage of guys
the gals can still have th a t best dance
of them all, the Rose Day dance.

black, dark green or brown for sum­mer
sheers.
Denim, seersuckers, sheetings and
corduroy are needed for work clothes.
But percales, print cloths, broad­cloths
and organdy are not as hard
to buy. However, WPB advises
against cotton evening clothes this
year, as cottons will be needed more
for daytime wear.
As to those stockings, to come back
to an old war-torn friend — rayons
still will be available but not as sat-
Isfacrtory in very sheer weights as in
heavier. Use of a t least 100 denier is
advocated.
Peace Club Delegates
Delegates to Conference
Agostina Schillaci, vice president
of Peace Club, and Marion Proxmire
represented the College of Saint Rose
a t the reg-onal convention of the
Middle Atlantic Student Peace Fed­eration
held at the Inter-racial Cen­ter
in New York City on Saturday,
May 1. Discussion centered around
the peace proposals of Pope Pius XII
and reconstruction of the post-war
world. Dr. Egan of the College of
New Rochelle and Dr. Lynsky of
Hunter College were two of the prin­cipal
speakers. Formerly the annual
convention has been held on a na-ticnol
basis at Washington, D. C.,
but because of the traveling emer­gency,
regional conferences were sub­stituted.
At the last meeting of the Peace
Club on April 20 the study club pre­sented
a lively discussion on the Cul­bertson
Plan and post-war rehabilita-ticn.
This program was in keeping
with the general topic selected by the
Peace Club for the year — th a t of
peace plans and the post-war world.
Participants in the discussion were:
Katherine Dwyer, leader, and Geor­gia
Watson, Catherine Owens, Mary
Jeffarian and Catharine Ryan,
speakers.
At the next meeting of the Peace
Club a report on the Student Peace
Federation Convention will be given
by the St. Rose delegates. Election of
officers for 1943-1944 will also take
place.

aided greatly in the work of picture
taking by Betty James, assistant edi­tor,
and Florence Woodward, photo­graphy
editor.
Each senior, a t the same time, be­gan
to solicit advertising in order to
meet her twenty-five dollar quota by
the February 28 deadline.
Working toward a final deadline of
March 11, Marion, Rita and Betty
spent long hours budgeting, ordering,
measuring photographs, and deter­mining
word count for each page.
After the word count had been as­certained,
a group of writers, which
included Marion Proxmire, Betty
James, Rita Haber, Marie Poliak,
Rita Czajka, Georgia Watson, Joan
Maloy, May Walther, Mary Kay
O’Neill, Helen O’Connell, Mary Gaff­ney,
and Eileen O’Brien, made up
copy for each page. The senior sec­tion
was written by Frances Keefe,
the class poem and other poetry done
by Joan Maloy, class poet; the adver­tising
section made up by the busi­ness
manager and her assistant, Mar­garet
Cronin; and the entire book
was typed for the printer by Peggy
Feane.
On March 11, the copy for the en­tire
book was sent to the Schilling
Press of New York City. Later, dur­ing
the same month, the final selec­tion
of the cover was made by the
staff, assisted by Mr. Gurwit and Mr.
Norman Allis of the David J. Malloy
Plant in New York.
The entire book has been proof­read
once, and corrected proofs are
being sent to the printer almost daily.
The yearbook, despite wartime de­lays
and substitutions, will be pre­sented
by the editor to the faculty
and students of Saint Rose on class
night.

family means more than you realize.
Your letter shall be treasured by
me. I am sending it home to be kept
for me. Each name seemed to recall
many happy incidents. Probably I
should not say your worries and
headaches were happy incidents, but
remember your worries were my wor­ries.
Wait until you start teaching.
I t is then th a t you will find th a t the
individual worries of students are the
mass worries of the teacher. Wor­ries,
yet when all is over joys, that
had a few thorns.
My good fortunes in the army have
undoubtedly been made possible by
your prayers. Do keep saying a few
for me, and do not forget th a t many
thousands of lads in the army have
no one to pray for them. Do say a
couple extra ones for them.
I have rambled on an on, and de­cidedly
not in good professorial vein,
but honestly, I hate to close out so
many happy thoughts by closing this
letter.
God bless you, and thanks for mak­ing
this Easter such a pleasant one
for me.
Sincerely,
(signed) Walter L. Hahn.
Typical French Day
Pervades Campus
The Spanish Club, La Rosetas, and
the members of the Social Studies
World Geography class will hold a
joint meeting in the near future. The
soiree will be informative rather than
social in character. The air age, with
special emphasis on the part of the
Americas in the new post-war era,
will be the main topic of the several
discussions.
The airplane has “annihilated both
space and time.” For this reason
everyone should be observant of the
changes th a t the “air age” will bring
to the lives of each one of us. The
world “is becoming smaller,” and we
should try to get out of our isolation­ist
selves and really meet and know
our neighbors of the eastern, western,
northern and southern hemispheres.

be there to see what it will be. And,
your class deserves your encourage­ment
and interest as much as possi­ble.
Bye now, see you there. Save
me a seat in the front row.
Irritated voice on the ’phone: Is
this the complaint department?
Editor: Yes.
Voice: Well, you put an announce­ment
of my death in the paper this
morning.
Editor: Why, yes, we did. Er . , .
