Alcalá 1964

CLASS OF 1967 Traditionally, we Freshmen were a "little confused" when we first appeared on

campus. After the first few weeks, however, our adjustments to the scholastic and

social life began. Of course, all of these experiences were accompanied by the help of

our big sisters, and our big brothers from the College for Men, who wrote cheerful

notes to encourage us and keep up our spirits. Welcome Week and the first month of

school brought the first events which initiated us into the family atmosphere of the

University. One activity followed another; Convocation and Investiture; the Fashion

Revue directed by social chairman Kathy Shea and Bill White; the Senior sponsored

Palm Patio dance; the ADG dance; the USD pool party; and finally the Flootenanny.

The Freshman Follies provided a wonderful opportunity for each member of our

class to become acquainted with one another. The unifying effect of this project con­

tinued the family atmosphere which we had come to recognize as one of the principle

values of USD. The talents of the Freshmen were very well displayed under the direc­

tion of Pat Wilson and Judy Banks.

Midterms interrupted the college social activities for a week, but the Junior Dance

presented by the Men's college in More Hall brought us back into a relaxed mood.

Marcie Lazzari led the volley ball team to victory and to our first trophy. Kathy Keptner

collected hundreds of toys with the aid of her class and the contributions of the student

body at our college. Thanksgiving and Christmas relieved us from the pressures of

classes for a while (but not from the pressures of term papers), and the mistletoe spirit

of the Bishop's Christmas party sent us home with a great deal of holiday spirit en­

veloping us.

During these first few months, the fortnightly officers gave us some examples of
