H A R T S m i E Q E OF MARY LAND "ST MARY'S CITY. MARYLAND V O L . V I I I , N O . 7 F IN A L E D I T IO N Awards Presented At Graduation . . . . ’66-’67 In Retrospect As the academic year comes to a close, we look back and remember. September 18, 1966, saw the new Freshmen entering their dorms. Before them awaited a week of testing, meetings with advisors, and registration. This week, Orientation Week, had been planned and organized under the chairmansMp of Linda Kern. On Friday, the Sophomores returned and registered and the following night, the Freshmen were capped, beginning Rat Week, which ended with Rat Court, on Thursday the 29th. The weeks passed and the Freshmen had their* first taste of six weeks exams and settled into the academic routine. Halloween was marked by trick-or-treating in the dorms and elsewhere. In late November, the Student Union Board sponsored a Thanksgiving dinner right before the beginning of Thanksgiving vacation. Returning from vacation, the students began preparing the dorms for Christmas. The week before Christmas vacation was marked with open houses in the dorms, late night caroling, a choir recital at which the Spirit of Christmas, Kathy Heron, was presented, and the first of the two proms. The Christmas Prom was reigned over by Francine Winkler and her court, Michele Hecker, Kathy Warner, Debbie Newman, and Donna Hudson. Vacation began December 16, and students returned to S.M.C. in January, pfeparing to take finals. Exams were followed by Semester Break, terminating the first semester. Second semester began with and unfortunate number of students missing due to a large flunk-out rate. On March 16, the student movement was born in the form of a picket. This movement led to easier communications between students and administration, which in turn led to a liberalization of rules. Also in March, Samadra presented it’s play, “ Comedy of Errors” which then went on tour. Kathy Warner was chosen best dressed to represent S.M.C. in a Glamour magazine annual contest. A “ Town Criers” concert marked the end of campus elections of next year’s student leaders and the beginning of Easter vacation. April saw a three day boycoot of classes which received attention in Maryland and D.C. papers. The second of the major proms, the Spring Prom, took place May 6th. Reigning over the Prom and all the May Day festivities was Peggy O’Neil and her court Tillie Woodward, Pam Cecil, Debbie Newman, Susan James, Donna Hudson, and Apple Blossom Princess Linda Kern. How It Appeared After A Year College is a puzzling progression of ups and downs, positivism and apathy, solitude and brotherhood . . . when the car moves out of the driveway of the dorm and down the road, you are not thinking of the education that your parents are giving you. The wave signifies no more than a farewell to the past three months, an interim of irresponsibility. There is time for reflection later, but it still seems like summer. Just two hundred and seventy two days. Things are different. Different faces, new people, a roommate, being away from home. You had forgotten how long fifty minutes could be. The learning experience is not sterilizing. Those rare moments found you pensive, deep in the future. Occasionally, amid the rushing and striving, the realization of what it all meant would grow momentarily. Your Social Security number and mother’s maiden name before she went to college - fill it in, the Orientation Committee must know. All of these pressures would dissolve by Christmas you hoped optimistically. Mondays through Fridays always hit hard. If you had intimations before, the doubts about the feasibility of Sophmoritis dissolved in October. There is not much concentrated negativism here so you comply and accept without much protest, and count the days until weekends, vacations and graduation. You discover four classes and no breakfast is not good, and at three in the morning your eyes stumble over enigmatic text phrases. Late nights are a newspaper to draft, a play to rehearse, a yearbook to publish or just a term paper to write. November informal grades brought surprises and disillusions to a few, and worries to the majority. As Turkey Day became less of a nebulous item of fancy and more of a reality the clock kept ticking away - only one hundred and ninety five days . . . December brought joy for the vacations were in great number. January and February were essentially slow months. Eventually it snowed ans snowed and snowed. The gym became the happy hunting ground of frustrated wrestlers and other maniacs and the infirmary experienced a sharp increase in the demand for fine oaken canes. The basketball season seemed a little too long; but signs such as “ Beat the Hell Out of Catonsville” livened it up somewhat. Extroverts found an excape from Preparations for exams duu graduation began. These were a few of the events which made up the academic year 1966-67. Each person will have many different memories of this year at S.M.C. which he will keep with him in years to come. the concentrated winter apathy in various work programs. But the winter dragged on and on. For most the snow fell, saw not mail, the snow melted, saw not mail and the snow fell again. There was not much to alleviate the boredom. Then came spring along with proms, dances, picnics, the first student movement, oyster boats and the boycott. Tension rose and there was no stopping it. When you know you could not possibly endure one more day of classes, a mail box had been empty for fourteen ■consecutive days and even sleeping had become tedious, it finally arrived in full glory and reality - only two more weeks. Its almost the end. Impatient sophs hold graduation practice early. Papers and tests are finished, one hundred days seems a lot. There are not any tears, but you could feel mixed emotions — It’s a part of your life. Samadra Elects Samadra, the dramatics club at S.M.C. recently elected officers for next year. The President will be Anne Reilly; Vice-President, Julie Bounds; Secretary, Carol Mancini; and Treasurer, Joyce Oland. The following awards were made today at Commencement June 3, 1967.
