Sister Teresa Marie arrived

Greetings Faculty Welcomes
A new year opens its doors . New Members
Those who enter with an air of
assurance, with perhaps a hand
outstretched to detain Time's
ceaMless march, we pick as
Senion. That last year of Col­lege,
will anyonil cver be able to
explain its strange effect upon
Senior minds! The question to
bil answered is, "Are we glad
t hat we will soon plod our way
in the world, or are we sorry?"
In answering t his we defy the
extremist who scorns the happy
medium . A Senior, although anxi­ous
to be in the vast army of
practitioners, is not 80 sure of her
decision as witnilssed in t he weepy
adieus at a Senior Ball.
Usually, the Juniors are so
busy thinking about the nUmer­ous
activitiils of the new year
that they might even brush by
without a fl.icku of the eye, pre­sumptively
victims of absent
mindedness. But they're not,
thilY are only thinking of t he
Prom!
Sophomores can enjoy college
life to the utmost. Their activi­ties
are not so numerous that
thilY become harassing. They are
too young to be blamild and too
old to bil Freshman.
With a discerning eYil, Wil scan
again those seekers of learning
who enter the portals of the new
year. A quick glance and another
group confronts us. Anticipation
is on their faces, doubt on their
brows. Freshmen alonil experi­ence
that baffling sensation of ril­tracing
their steps. A little
while ago they were Seniors-and
now only Fril:;hmen? ThilY have
everything ahead of them; after
all, collegil life lash only fo ur

The faculty meet us at the door
of the new year.1 They are the

we find it rIlther intereJting to form an analogy
between our modern America and Rome at the

flocked to Rome with nothing to do but bother t he

We also find marriage in pagan Rome was "a

Today a lawyer never starves with
marriage becoming "a legal adventure."

Gainful Occupat ions
A recent new,paper article contained the start­ling
fact , taken from actual s tatis tics, that of all
the people ;'gainful1y em]lloyed in the world 20 '70
are women. If that includes the 20 million house­wives,-
which it doesn't, ~ i n ce theirs is not con­sidered
a "gainful" oc<: uplltion,- thcre would be
more women thlln Olen working. Even in the pro­fessions
alone, if we Incl ude school tenching, the
women outnumber the mcn.
But the 20,000,000 housewives ure not counted,
because of the s pecifica tion, ·'gainfu1." It is true
that on a dollar and cent basi! they can't compete
with the busine!l$ women of the various field!!.
Thcy have to get 20,000,000 men Ollt in the morn­ing,
so t hllt the ma3C u!ine contingent may keep up
its 80 '70 average. But since when can the word
"gainful" be attributed exclusively to the earning
of money! Surely the s lIcce!lllfu l manl.ging of a
home; the careful up-bringing of children; the
thousand and one worries that a hOllsewife experi­encCll
daily; not to mention the hours stolen from
her preeious 1Ileep and spent in worry over the
safe return of " modern" daughters and Ions ; all
these exhllust .ng duties which make up a mother'l
job deserve some recognition in the I tatis ti cs of
the world's work.
It is a splendid thing for a woman to make a
place for hen el! in t hb man'lI world and make
them admit she knows her bus ineS$.. Women in
the proCessions merit and receive Ollr sincerest
praise; but il is t he unre(luited daily grind of the
mother t hat should rank as one of women's mo.t
splendid services. We mi~ht get along without
women in business ; but th.1I old world would be
a sorry place without a few mothers.
