The following autumn found us adjusting to life as upperclassmen and life

on the other side of the bridge. With Mother Shaffer to help us we began a year

which abounded in "firsts." It began with the experiment of having our Autumn

Informal both in the Rose Room and the Palm Patio. After nine "come as you

are" parties and Dr. Kocourek's ethics tests, gave us a new topic of conversation.

And the twist gave us something novel to complain about—tortured muscles!

Mixed parties at the homes of Dolly Barr, Patsy Buckley and Pat Quirk, were

among that year's innovations. In April we sent our first delegation in two years

to the Model United Nations. Their chairman, Kathy Day, and eight other juniors

were initiated into the intrigues and caucusing of intercollegiate politics. At the

Mad-Hatter's Party that spring, Dede Fiorino and Mary Olive Chambers made

their debut in the hat fashion world as "The High and Mighty." When our

college rings arrived, both we and the juniors from the Men's college had them

blessed by Bishop Buddy at a ceremony in our chapel—thus originating another

tradition. Our final "first" came with the appearance of a groom, John Rodee for

bride Pam Jorday, in our May Fashion Show luncheon.

Fall 1962 brought us together with serious plans now made for the future.

Under the able counsel of veteran senior moderator Mother McShane, we assumed

the leadership of the school and began final preparations for our roles in society.

Bulletin-boarditis hit a major portion of the class as courses were pursued leading

to elementary and secondary credentials. Senior pictures and organizing our

fashionably early Christmas Ball at the La Jolla Country Club occupied much of

our time. The Cuban crisis, the opening of the Ecumenical Council, and voting in

the Brown-Nixon gubernatorial election also claimed our attention. On the bright

side we experienced a near epidemic of engagement rings (that preluded a wedding-

filled summer). By January we were accustomed to using the privilege of the new

circulating library and sometimes found time to enjoy the new USD swimming

pool. During the second semester we either waded through lesson plans or com­

miserated with those who did and by May we were certain that we would never

forget the title of our theology book.

As we take inventory of our hectically happy college years, we find that we

are deeply appreciative of the values and principles instilled in us by the Religious

of the Sacred Heart. But most of all, we are anxious to carry these principles

to the world.
