Alcalá 1964

As the spring semester hurried by, house parties became a favorite form of social

activity. Soon, the "Sophomore Serenade" marked the close of another year.

Entering into the realm of upper division subjects, our Junior Class found itself in

the midst of full class schedules and heavy studies, dotted with social events. Soon prepa­

rations were begun for the Autumn Informal at Del Webb's Ocean House. A successful

Junior Fair was filled with memories of our Freshman Carnival.

Not a single heart remained untouched at the news of the assassination of our greatly

respected president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The student body offered a Requiem Mass

in our chapel on the day of his burial in the presence of a flag-draped catafalque. Rev­

erence, respect, renewed patriotism and admiration pervaded our classes and studies as

we continued our side of the battle.

"Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" when class rings arrived a few weeks before

Christmas. Plans for a snow trip to Lake Arrowhead during semester break helped to

make studying for final exams just a fraction more on the easy side.

Encouraged by accomplishments of past years and under the guidance of our coun­

selor, Mother Furay, and the class officers, Karen Graham, president; Carolyn Shaffer, vice-

president; Jean Childs, secretary; and Irma Mix, treasurer, our class returned to continue

our second semester of the junior year.

Next year will bring student teaching for many and graduate exams for others. And

for some it will bring the new world of engagement rings. Yet there will still be that

unifying thread which bound us together through our first three years at USD and which

will make us all one in eternity ... we are always Children of His Sacred Heart.
