Mother Shaffer's guidance, consideration and understanding helped each of us

buoyancy of our spirits: our Freshman Supper Dance with its Valentine theme; the
Phi Kappa Theta Dance; the Mardi Gras Dance just before Lent; the faculty lecture
in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas; and the Passion Play presented by the College for Men.
Easter vacation seemed to be only a brief stopping for a breath of air before we

Men in their performance of
MEDEA.
Final exams were not as difficult because they
seemed to spell out a favorite word — SUMMER VACATION.
