May CrowningTakes Placejln Chapel

By Mary MohrOne of the most t a lked aboutdays of our college l ife is MayDay. What i s May Day ? I t ' snot jus t another one of? thosedays that we let sl ip because i tdoesn' t concern us . I t does concern everyone of us. It isn' tjus t a res ident projec t or adayhop affair. It is a gatherin g of;i a l l s tudents for the purpose of crowning the BlessedMother Queen of the May.This an nu al ceremony i s themost beaut i ful t radi t ion es tabl i shed a t Mercyhurs t . To makeitSa success , months of prepara t ion are necessary. Process ion

al, glee club and dance rehearsals follow long weeks of planning details of dress and outdoor sett ing. People come fromneighboring s ta tes as wel l asfrom thi s vic ini ty to wi tnessthe c rowning.This] year because of inclement weather, the ceremonytook place in the chapel ins tead of on the front campus,and much of the usua l programhad to be dispensed with. How

ever, the grea t group of re la t ives and guest s were able tocrowd into the chapel to wit-?iess a very simple, but impress ive crowning5of Our Lady.The members of the seniorclass were a dist inctive featurein the i r a t t rac t ive , s imi larly-fashioned gowns of white, withma t c h i ng ha t s , trimmed in deeppurp l e .Benediction brought the ceremony to a close for anotheryear. The sca t te ring crowd thenhurried to take pictures in remembrance of this day. As theday came to an end, we realized that.we were/already look

ing forward to May Day nextyear.

The mig ht clubmanagement distributed unique favors to each of the departing Seniors. The farewellparty was the first of i ts kind;we hope it will become tradit ional.Acting as heads for the committees of the |'47i Club's opening were: Miss Marilyn Miller, entertainment; Sally Gunn,invitat ions; Geraldine Farrell ,decorations; Teresa: Sabella,servers ; Betty Rock, food; Mar-jorie Jewell , favors;*Ann Mohr,props and l ights.After the Senior party, theErie Group of MercyhurstAlumnae sponsored a dancea t Pulakos-on-the-Lake to welcome the class of '47. An invitation was extended to theentire isenior class.

On Memorial Day the Peninsula was the scene of theannual picnic given by themembers of the Janus Club,A.A., and S.O.S. in honor ofthe Seniors. This is the firstyear S.O.S. has joined the othertwo clubs for the affair. Theby-word being, "the more the

i merrier," everyone had fun.A sunny day? sent the girls

of the three organizations offto a b right {and early star twith bridge, soft ball and shortdips into Lake Erie.

The presidents of the threeorganizations, Sally Hanrahan,Mercedes Baumbeck and JoanGibbons were on hand to seethat jail went smoothly. Facultyadvisors present were MissKelley, Miss Wherry, and MissHillery.

Hearty appeti tes, caused bythe nipping peninsula air, welcomed the picnic lunch thatwas served during the afternoon. 3

IFrom th e beginn ing, four fertile fields gav e you oppo rtunity to develop into intelligentvirtuous women. Your courses were designed to give youknowledge and to develop in yo Ihabi t of clear thinking, so that you would leave: Mercyhurst with a mind well furnished wliideas. What you brought to each session of these courses in preparation and concentration hmade th e difference between success and failure of this objective of; college training. iExtracurricular activities in the broad sense of entertainment, sp or ts , and academic group!furnished you l invaluable tes ts of initiative, usefulness and friendliness. Taking part in giJactivity, and sometimes leading it, showed you the practical value of cooperation and respondi ty, provided you worked earnestly and willingly.The disciplines of college ^life, so unwelcome a restraint while you were subject to then*AV- wji"vg vr* v v u t 8 B m i s , ou unYYciuuii o ** i .j. aiu b W I I U B yo u w o r e suDjecc to them,\ \ ft d / ^ \ / k ^% a r e v e r y l i k e l y t o P r o v e a n a s s e t to y o u fts teachers or as responsible persons of the butined\A rl/7j VnH I rtlj I#rt * world.

If only^people could realize the^potentialities which lielatent in each of ussingly! We all have hopes anddreams. We all get stirred up about current affairs.

The great works of the world always]begin with oneperson. The great organizations of our day which we consider indispensable can all be traced to the energies ofone or two men."But these are fmuch greater than we," we argue.Emerson replies, "There are no great and small. We fancyothers g reater tha n ourselves because they light the divinespark given them, and we do not. It is because we mini-w rmize ourselves that we do not accomplish."We all have a purpose in life. It is our duty to find itout and fulfill it. Yes, we are individuals, but w e live in anation of individuals which is part of a world of individu

als. It is up to us to take our place among them .

Modern educational theoriesseem to form a trend awayfrom th e traditional! collegeprogram, but a few far-seeingmen stand by their principlesof liberal education, thus:Robert Hutchins, president ofthe University of Chicago:"Liberal education is . . . education appropriate to man. Liberal education, education forfreedom, aims to free the ma nfrom 1he mammal wkhin."Robert I. Gannon. S. J., President of Fordham University:"Any true college of liberal

arts ranks with the family, theChurch, and the courts of flawas one of the great nerves t ftradition."James B. Conant, President,Harvard University: j'"Liberaleducation is the ability of eachindividual to work out his owndestiny and by virtue of hisown endeavors to win a satisfying place in some hierarchyof I values."Hugh O'Donnel, C.S.C., President, University of NotreDame: "I t (liberal education) isa culture of the soul, or themind and heart, based on thedignity and sacredness of thehuman! personality."

It is now time for us to be on our own, tosee what we can do by ourselves. $ .However, we shouldn't be f earful of this new stat e fin life. We are w ell equ'pped to face theworld.
