Dt·. Cliffo•·d D. Ford enter­tained
the senior sociology stu­dent3
with a dinner at his home
on Thursday, April 24. The sen­iors

the s kits will hold for the

place among stndenta, and this
is the juniors' way of telling
them that they will always be re­membered

"It's Spring again, and bit·ds on the wing again, start
to sing again, that old melody; I love you." What better
anthem is there than this love song to celebrate the re­birth
of nature, the budding and blossoming brought on
by April showers, and the house-cleaning and poHshing
up of our love and affection for the lovliest Queen of the
~fay, Mary.
Let's let our reawakened love for her blossom anew
and push up just a bit farther. If you never say a daily
rosary, say one now, and if you already say one, say two
for her because "it's Spring again," and "IO\'e·time," May.
ls S. !(,. 0. Jentiollnf ?
To mention the subject of S R.O. at Nazat·eth College
will bring, to say the least, a vivid and dynamic reaction.
There are few who remain neutral. It is either an unmiti­gated
evil, o1· an unmixed blessing.
The whole approach to the question of a student mus·
ical has ceased to be rational, and has become a ration­alization.
Teachers quite often assume it to be bad, and
students assume it to be a good excuse for failing exams,
sloppy school work, and being tardy or absent f rom
classes. It is the latte1· rationalization that is probably
the cause of the first.
S.R.O. is time consuming, and until science discovers a
new basis for computing time, twenty-four hours will re­main
twenty.four hours. Into these hours. particularly
during the fina l two weeks before production, must be
crammed classes 11nd meals, sleep and homework, term
papers and dormitory or home life, and an increasing
number of rehearsals and additional study on lines, lyrics
or dance routines.
Everyone agrees that a student musical has an intrinsic
value, but the question of relative values often arises. Are
you getting out of it all you are putting in to it? Few will
deny that if it is to be produced at all, it should conform
to certain literary, dramatic and musical standards, and
these take time and thought. Anything less would cer­tainly
let relative values suffer, as well as lessen the
intrinsic value.
The point of attack is usually not theory. but practical
application, for here, students' sound judgements may
become fogged with detail, until the production becomes
an unmanageable Hydra.
However, it is possible to keep S.R.O. well within limits
satisfactory to everybody. In casting, each person chosen
should have the necessary talent which the script re­quires.
To have a good script or sco1·e ruined by poor
casting is the bane of a conscientious caster. But, choos­ing
one whose marks are low, is only stot·ing up additional
headaches for the directo•·s, more t han the person's value
to t he show cou ld ever make up for.
The production should be geared to a size and length
that can be handled by amateurs, whose first duty is col­lege.
It is essentia l to keep up with school work. par­ticulal'ly
since S.R.O. is scheduled late in the Spring
calendar, but any clearsighted person will realize that
it is impossible to forge ahead.
A sane approach, with no rationalization on anyone's
part is t he only way in which S.R.O. can achieve and
maintain its equilibrium, and its place as one of the most
fascinating social and dramatic events of the school year.

ing during the summer months.
Being in eomplete sympathy with
the tribulations of this age group
we believe in tonfining all sum­mer
intellectual activity to en.
tertainmenL And fortunately thU.
summer there will be two !hows
that will rival any produced by
professional performers. We
meso, ot eourse. the Democratic
and Republican conventions.
Sinc:e it will be almost impos­sible
to follow the behind the
8<'Cncs bargaining- most of the
delegates themselves don't know
what's going on- the best thing
1<> do is to relux and enjoy the
show.
Fl1·st the•·c will be speeches I<>
info1·m the purty brethren what
the pnrty is up to in its heroic
attempt to save the nation !tom
ce•·taln disasU!r. These long.wind.
ed o•·atot·s will outline pal'ty pro·
g•·arns in sweeping style but be
•·ather hazy about just how these
will be implemented; fo1· example,
the ltepublieans will, no doubt,
promise the farmers prosperity
hut be vague about p•·ice sup·
ports and aubsidies. To point up
the pervc1"1ed program of the oth­er
party there will be plenty of
jibes..-of the clumsy son, wsually,
and speeches will be heavily
laden with invective. When Clare
Booth Luee spoke at the 1948
Republican Convention she gave
an elaborate displa)• of invective
that outdid the keyno!<'r.
B~uu the Republicans will
probably be on the offensive it is
quit.- safe I<> predict that thei:r
convention will be the more in ..
IA!resting of the two. Their pro­posals
will include the following
generous services 1<> the Amer·
ican people.
1. Balance the budget and
bring sound financing to the
governmenL
2. Redure taxes, bureauera(y,
foreign aid, waste in govern­ment
and in the Armed For.
ces.
3. Stop the spread or Commu.
nism. They can do it 0\0t"IC
cheaply than the Demoerats.
4. End the war in Koren. Pre·
cisely how they will do It
they won't say but they will
take vigorous meaju 1·es to
b•·ing the boys home.
5. Promise labo1· protectio:n
f t·om COI'rupt union lenders
by enforcement of the Taft­Hartley
law.
6. Promise European coopet·n·
tion fo•· peace but hed~re
a bout too gt'eat an entangle­ment
in Eua·opean affai1'1.
The humor of the grandiof!:e
plans comes from the !act that
they are said quite seriously
while the audience shouts itaelt
hoarse in expressing approval.
The conventions, on tht rurfac~.
are a ridiculous display of adoles.
cent e.x:ube-ranee--men with a p<>o

RADIO EDITOR, AUTHOR INTERVIEWED
For the last few years David
Roberts. a native Roehesterian,
has acted as WVET news editor
and United Press Correspondent
for this area. He is probably re­membered
by most people for his
spectacular and thorough cover­age
of the Brighton gas blast dis·
aster.
He was the first radio reporter
to broadcast directly from the
scene of the explosions. Through.
out the afternoon his on-the-spot
reports of the damage and de·
struction plus his running ac­count
to United Ptess in New
York City solidified his position
as one of Rochester's top rank­ing
press and radio reporters.
Surprisingly enough, his activ­ity
in this field is subservient to
what Mr. Roberts confesses to be
his main objeeti ve-to w1·ite ere.
ative fiction. So far hard work
has paid off. He has published
three short stories, the latest of
which is to appear in the book
called, Story 11. At the moment
he is trying to sell his tint novel,
''An attempt to investigate the
lost dignity of m.an in wa1·,'" and
at the same time is working on
his second.
Concerning women in radio
Mr. Roberts pointed out that
there nre many opportunities and
that women a1·e becoming quite
prominent in radio and TV.
There is much 1·oom fo1· advance­ment
especially beh ind the scenes,
as producers and direct01-s.
"Radio is no longer the place
where the imaginative, ambitious
person gets a job and then ex­perience.
This still happens but
more and wore the specialized
schools for radio and TV are be­ing
recognized and graduates of
these schools are being hired."
Mr. Roberts' advice to those who
would like to work in radio or
TV is to attend such a school, if
possible, and alterwards "~um ..
ble yourself to do anything in
radio-get your foot in the door
and even if you have to sweep
floors, at least you1· name i$ on
the radio staff.''
THE GLEANER
NEW MURAL .UNDERWAY
E:very year about this time
11something'' appears on the wall
of the tunnel between the admin­istration
building and the gym.
For the first few weeks as the
masses of color and lines begin
to take shape eveJ•yone wonders
what will this yca1·'s mut·al be.
The fhst mural was done sev­eral
years ago by John C. Meri­man,
a well known artist of this
area . He chose a modern inteJ·­prctation
of Ruth for the centeo·
panel. The task of decorating
the rest of the tunnel was taken
on by the Art Depa1·tment. Local
history is the theme that the rest
of the panels follow. In het· sen­ior
year each art student has
a chance to do her pa1·t in the
painting of the mural unde•· the
direction of Professot· ·walter K.
Long and Sist<!r M. De Sales.
The first one, "At the Bend of
the River" was done in 1948. It
1·epresents the Jesuits. lnstructing
the J'ndians. A companion panel
of "The Lily of the Mohawks"
was done the following yeat·. In
1950 the large class of Senio.- at·t
students did two murals. Tho
boat·ders did usunday Morning in
the Flowe•· City." The chut·ch
in the background is authent..
ically copied from old photo­graphs
of St. Patrick's Church.
They also went to the museum
and sketched costumes of the
1850 period. The day students
of the same class did a panel
commemorating the 300th anni­ve•
·sa.-y of the Siste•·s of St.
Joseph.
Last year, "The Erie Canal"
was painted. This yeu· c1.u-rying
on with the local history uCobbs
Hill School House" is the topic.
The senio•·s have already spent
long hours at the library sketch­ing
costumes of the 1840 period
and looking over the old photo­graphs
of the old school house.
The mural will be finished in time
fot the art exhibit.

NEW DIGEST OFFERED NAZARETH STUDENTS
The lovable G. K. Chesterton,
who became infected with Mari ..
anitis, as he himself puts it, when
quite young, and only grew worse
as he tried to ~nd reasons for
bl'U$hing het• off, wrote that it
was one of the great exciten1ents
of his later life to discover Our
Lady "young as the dawn in a
world that had grown old and
forgotten the splendors of the
soul." And now many people feel
they have lost so much in not
having OUR LADY'S DIGEST
along with thei•· prima1·y catech­ism
that they want to shout from
the housetops to bring Mary into
the home, to warm each heart
with the gt·ace of holiness and
peace-for that is the purpose of
OUR LADY'S DIGEST.
The contents of this little mag­azine
will make all Catholic t•ead·
ers in Ame.riea conscious of the
influence and power of Mary at
the Heavenly Cout·t. Some side­Ughts
!rom OUR LADY'S DI­GEST
could be quoted but time
and space are limited. This must
be passed on- "Eve was such a
bad girl, because she had no
mother to guide her. \Ve are
mo1·e fortunate, we have OUJ~
Blessed Mother."
A 11 sorts of people will enjoy
this magazine-it's so easy to
read !-full of joy, dignity, and
literat·y excellence as well.
4 THE GLEANER Friday, May 2, 1952
Class History of the Class of '52
!t was only four short years
ago that the class of "52" first
made its debut at Nazareth Col­lege.
As green Freshmen we
didn't know much about the
school nor our fellow elaumates
but in the four years in college
the result has been-"\Ve are
the dau or fifty-two, comrades
forever loyal and true." \Ve have
tried to live up to these words.
Probably the most outstanding
thing that draws a class together
are social nctivities. The ente.r­tainntent.
a !or ou1• clap parties
and teas remind us somewhat or
A ga1a BroadwAy •·oviow. \V•
have done minstrel 3hows, "Cone.
With-the-Wind" tjlke·off, melo­dramas,
cun·cnt hit musicals and
ptaclically eve&·ything imagin­able.
We even turned Snow­White
into • college show. No
one con guess the work and
pt·ayet· t hat went into t hese un­dc•'
lakings. Last minute dnbs or
crepe hair to ndd charncteriza­tlon,
an extra eprinkle or holy
wnt.er on the leading lady, re­hearsals
that lasted 'til all hours.
The way evcrythin~e went off
without ~nery falling wu close
to miraculous. We all believed
that our talent plus a little help
from Our Lady made our shows
extra special. Working together
for the good of the class and the
school was the order of the day
and everyone was ready to com·
ply.
OUR FIRST T£A
We shall never forget the
Freshmen-Senior tea our first
year at the college. Half wore
hats and the other half were
tempted to aport oxfords. How­ever,
we were impressed with the
formality of the occasion and
managed to act as aophisticated
as a F•eshman can. We ate the
little tea sandwiches like pea·
nuts and had an absolutely ma•·­velous
time.

MAY DAY AND VACATIONS
Our first May Day was beauti­ful
and impressive. The mc-st
beautiful part was Benediction in
the Sisters' garden. We all ftlt
as close to heaven as people on
earth could. After school dosed,
for summer vacation everyone
went to the lake for one house
party or another. People kept
visiting and eatlng and visiting
again until all house parties
seem to converge into "une
g1·andc mns.se.u at which class
aongs were written and pl'oje<ts
were discu•sed for the coming
yanr. The close: of 1152" has .t.l­ways

furthe•· out. in the social activity
of the school. S.R.O. claimed a
g•·eat deal of our talent and the
tJongs and dances seemed quite
professional to all or us. Many
nights various members of our
clau sat up making Spanish cos­tumes
but the final result was
very good. The Winter Carnival
queen was t-hosen among gre.1t
competition betw~n our class and
the Juniors and even though ve
lost by a few dollars, the "s;,n.er.

HALLOWE'EN I'ARTIES
All the Hallowe'en parties seem
to run together. As Freshmen we
dressed as characters from the
Divinr Cm><cdv; we hod become
so mueh a part of this work that
we used this time to give vent to
our pent up emotions. The cos­tumes
were crude, to the extreme.
As Sophomores, the influence or
bridge and euchre showed itaelf
lor we all dressed as the "ca•·ds
of 52." No one seemed to np·
p•·eciate the similn•·ity of the
number but we made up fot· the
ignorance of others und enjoyed
it to the fullest. The Mm·tins
and the Coys had a regula•· feud
our Junior year, and the costumes
were as close to authentic ss u
Northerner could produce. As
Seniors: we could not drag our.
selves away from studies and
went as members of the faculty.
