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.
