Four yesteryears ago we entered college as the hope of tomorrow. Now as
we graduate into the world of today, we pause momentarily to view in fast motion
the enriching events of our college years.
Fall 1959 found us converging in the halls from literally everywhere and were
quickly incorporated into the student body with the generous help of our big
sisters and our enthusiastic moderator Mother Furay. Before long we expressed
our appreciation for this friendly welcome in our Follies, "Roman Daze." By
mid-term time we were thoroughly impressed with the rigorousness of academic
life and somehow survived examinations with the needed encouragement of our
mysterious "buddies." In November we participated in the cap and gown Requiem
Mass for deceased USD students, in the Immaculata. December brought one of
our class to the Catholic faith and she, Phyllis Doran, was baptized in our chapel.
Peck's Chuck Wagon rumbled to a halt early in February and inaugurated a class
tradition of home parties for the residents. Around that time many of us were
suffering through the fragrances of dissections in biology lab and developed a firm
purpose to dissect no more. A class picnic at the Presidio in March ended with
some of our group gleefully swinging around the flagpole. "Trial by Jury," our
operetta, was presented to the student body in early May. It was an animated
performance, though perhaps not professional. Then, suddenly, it was the end
of the year.
September, I960, brought most of us back to our hilltop campus, tanned and
ready to give the freshmen the welcome we had been given. Under the quiet
guidance of Mother Patch we developed and spread our school spirit at nearly
every opportunity. The first of our spirit-building endeavors was to sponsor a
"No-Host Luncheon" and Pool party at the Hotel Del Coronado for our little
sisters. Then "Coach Barbara" Pecarovich and her brawny football "team" con
tributed significantly to the spirit before a game in which the Pioneers defeated
the Marines 21-20. Another morale booster, a certain Western skit which was
planned and rehearsed for the USD-MCRD game never premiered—fortunately—
so agree those who were involved. After the annual retreat, we successfully co-
sponsored an all-school Valentine Dance at the Grant Hotel. In April two of the
sophomore members of the tennis team, Diane Corkill and Martha Spiers, helped
carry the school name to the intercollegiate tennis tournament at Ojai. Our final
contribution to the spirit of the College blossomed with the pink and white decor
of our Bal Des Fleurs.
