Music Student's Debut A Success

uudience; t.he tense faces ol
the musicians, the muestro's fir-m,
quick grasp of hand, the sign of
the Cross nnd suddenly the hopes,
dreams nnd ambitions or a young
talented musician became realization.
Candida Pilla, a ll()phomore

J cr~ey, made her debut with the
1'•enton Symphony under the di~
lion of Maestro Guglielmo
Sabatini on the evening of February
2 1, in Trenton's \Var Memori·
al Building. With the choir o!
VIlla Victoria Academy lending a
lovely scllinR, Candida sang Debussy's
The Hl•ssed Damozel.
This is what the critics in the
1'1·cnton Sundny hod to say of
Ca ndy'l out.standing accomplish·
ment: "Miss Pilla was the surpl'ise
of the cver.ing. Hers is not

Candy. herselC, said it was d

"As 1 waited Cor my entrance, 1
was a bit tense and nervous, but
as I picked up my cue, I felt a

was with her.
Candy will be making plnns

Hete's to Candy's s uccess in

An Easter Message from Our Chaplain
The Church lingers on the feast of Easter. She takes
a whole week to celebrate the feast and then forty days
more to celebrate the Easter season. She lingers on
Easter so that the meaning of this feast may sink deeply
into our minds and hearts.
Easter is, 1irst of all, the feast of Divine Truth Vindicated.
It is the answer to Caiphas who asked: "Art thou
the Christ, the Son of the living God?"; it is the answer
to the bitter question that Pilate asked without wanting
an answer: "What is tJ·uth?" I t is the vindication of all
that we believe; so much so t hat without it, as the Apostle
~ays, our faith would be in vain.
We need t his yearly vindication of our faith. Sometimes
what God says and demands seems too much for
us. There are limes when the reality of the Mass and of
the transubstantiated Host seems too overwhelming for
belief; times when suffering seems too difficult to accept;
times, too, when obedience to God's will appears too great
a hardship for us, living as we do in a world that scoffs
and ridicules. For these and for other rea.~ons we sometimes
wonder; and even as we wondt!r we open our Missals
and the Easter Mass sings out the triumphant cry of
the only One whom death could not hold captive : "1 have
l'isen and I nm still with thee." And we know that we
are right: that the most imporh1nt thing about the Gospel,
the "good news," is that it is true. And, having hesitated
with Thomns, we believe with him: "My Lord and my
God."
But Easter is also- indeed it is most of all-the feast of
Divine Life Shared. Just as Pentecost is the season of
Confirmation, the sncramcnt of the apostolate, so Eastei·
is the season of Baptism, the sacrament of the interior
life. On the day of our Baptism we were given this interior
supern atut·al life in all it.~ l'ich potentialities. But
life must grow. It must mature. That is why Easter does
not simply mean remembering that Christ t·ose to a new
life. It means especially the t·enewal in ou!' own souls
of the divine life of grace. It means that we must be more
mature spiritually this Easter than last, and next Easlet·
than this. That is the significance of the renewal of our
Baptismal vows in the new Easter vigil ser\·ice. That is
what we must think and intend as we renew them.

A New Way of Life
The Class of '59 has now made its contribution of
Nazarenes to the Sodality of Our Lady. At this point the
Sodality is aware only of the physi_cal presenc~ ~fits new
members. Only time will make eVIdent t~e spmtual contributions
of the recently accepted Sodahsts.
Our Sodality is more than an organization existing for
the personal satisfactions of its mem~ers. It i~ more th!ln
a club from which the members acqutre a feeln~g of sot;tal
security. It is more than an unpurposeful soc1ety whtch
exists merely for the sake of existing.
The Sodality is a way of life, a way of living, a way of
making Christians more Christlike. This way of life, however
does not refer to a way of living only present in the
short SAC or general Sodal~ty meetings .. This way of living
is to be our::~ a.ll of the time. All! Thts do_es n<?t mean
when we feel like it or when we think we mtght tmpre~
someone. All the time- in the classroom, at lunch, 111
the smoker, at a hen party, on a date and in all the reationships
we shat·e with Nazareth College students and
all our associates.
It is the responsibility of every Sodality member, whether
F1·eshman, Sophomore, Junior ot· Senior to live up to
th is way of life that she has freely chosen to be her own.
Reception into the Sodality is only granted to a girl w~?
has free ly given her consent t? a closet· un ron \~'lth Chrts.
in union with the other Sodahsts. If the Sodahty way of
life demands more of us than we want to give, then. w.e
do not have to become Soda lists. May it be the Sodality ~
Jlrayer that each and every one of her m~mbers makes
the Sodality way of life truly her way of hfe.
LET'S ABOLISH DATING
A populor· custom among the
teen.age and young unma1·ried
adult act of this era is that of
doting. This tradition, built up
from the formal courting of past
perioda has been •o enlao-ged in
a ea•ual, indefinable way. thot its
tx..undaries extend even into the
IP ammar •chool age groups.
Consequently, this """ial custom ,,.8 now renc.htd annoying and ex.
:oggerated proportions, ab,;orbing
• great deal of everyday effort,
energy, time and money. Not
only are lhe young women ol
this college forced to spend all
their availa ble currency on clothIng
to nttract and please the eye
or elegible Dillies, they must aiMO
squander theh· time on primping
tor· tmid creuture3J and their
thought.JJ on how to formulate or
1·ctnin the ntt.enUon of certain
lllCillbCrs o! the opposite gender.
Then t.,o, nights they might
wish to i nvcst in the fu rthering~
of knowledge in cea·tain subjects,
that is . those which are open to
qultzings in the next few day:;,
mus t be ftitloercd away in dull.
unlady-like atmospheres in the
hope th3t perhaps chance ac.
quaintance mighl. be sl.ruck up or
developed to an extent thst a
"date" will be made !or the fol ..
lowing Saturday night.
All this is due to the simple
!actor that people are classified,
regardOO and re5pec:ted ac:cording
to their oespe<:tive dat<o life. Thit
un1:~:table measurement tnn only
be<:ome :1 source of pain, depres.
sion. bittemes.~ and inferiority
complexes. lt is, moreove.r, un.
neeess..1ry and a simple solution
c"n be obtained. Merely isolate
the male !rom the female homosapiens.
\Vhen an nge pertinent
to marriage is reached1 a s uitable
and satisfying union can be arranged
through the prowess or
disinterested pnr·ties by the
matching of nitlnCR, UK in blind
dnte li st.s Jo1· dances. This wi ll
not only r liminnt.e the anxiety of
adolescence but aJlow young pcu~
pic greate1· freedom in intcllectunl
PUNiU.its.
Let's :1boli•h dating!
RESPONSIBILITY NEGLECTED
Science is a c h i e ,. i n g new
h•i~rht•: experiments have led to
miraculous cur~ for physical ill·
ntto.St8 and we sit back and marvel
on~r the ~·onders or our time.
Yea, W ( •lt back too content
in our own 3-CI!·centerednes.s and
let the olmo• t chronic disea."<! of
indifference !01 which scientists
hnve not as yet diU:overed a c:ure
e4t its wn)• into our minds. And
what is more depressing is that
this indllferonce hns spread into
the institution of higher education,
our colleges and universities:,
where an apathetic attitude
prevails among many of the students.
Crcat nod worthwhile
knowledge is being absorbed, but
uuy new sign ificant idea• which
might result from the acquisition
ot such knowledge sink into obfiv.
ion bcc:uusc students nrc too scJf ·
iah to shnr·e their· ideas with their·
fellow knowledge-seeker·•· Conver·JiJation
is copious with insignif-itance,
many words are wasted
over the unimportant, but no time
ean be found for a hot-tempered
discussion over a philosophica1
problem or a world shakin~ event.
And why, we may ask! Because
students nre too preoccupied with
their own self. interests to waste
time deliberating over anything
oovond tbeir own scope of affair:!.
A~ytbing not within their own
little cosmos is mnrked with in.
ditrerenee..
Is this not a tragedy and a
concern-that college students ex.
posed to higher education nnd nil
the facilities to make them the
exemplary citizens of the nntion
ao·e so diseased by the indiiTerenee
and selfishness of the world
today that they are unable to ~etualize
their God-given poten·
tialilies? We ' " " the leadeo·a o!

What Made the Sophomores Laugh?
Uy Arlene Brent
Tbe recent S<>phomere Testing
Program has been a uaou~e of
innocent merriment." among the
members of that illustrious class.
This was made cvidcnL both after
the culmination o/ 8ttid ex::uninn.
tions when the generAl comment
was, "'We ll, that only proved thnt
J don't know tutything nnywuy,"
nod duriug th:.- exoms thcmsclv<:s,
which wc•·e J>unctunted by s ignifte:
mt outbursts of snickering. The
most obvious of these outbursts
occulTed at the beginning of the
Current Alfah-s Exnm.
Almost en masse, the entil·e
eighty-o:ld girls broke out in uneontained
amusemcnL This laugh.
ter was prompted by the first
question qucrrying the main point
of ditfer1.'nce bet.wecn the De:mocrat
31ld Repulllicun !aetions during
the eighly-fout·th Congress.
Not only did U1e gil'is not know
the an~wer, tht'y weren 't. sut-e
just which Cong1·estt was the
eighty-Cou,.th. Now, no the gCn·
eral reaction to the above question
was similar, liu.lc after·
thought was given to it by this
writer.
It was several du.ys luter when
a member of the (acuity brought
the following voint to this writer's
attention: "'Just why did the
sophomores laugh?'' The answer
w:ts obvious. They laughed at
50 million
times a day
their own ignorance. This i1 a
good quality, to be able to ne«pt
yoursel! at !ace value and ahrug
off lhe short-comings or your intellect.
Or is it! b ignorance
ever justifiable 1 It is one thing
to accept s hort...comings, nnd
another to a llow them to ovct··
t•ulc you•· attitude. lg norunec is
not always bliss. It is tuken !or
granted that u college $tudent is
not inf:ollible. There are limits
to concepts and to the absorption
or both catalogued and unclassified
knowledge. Out one thing io
evident. The duty of atudents.
their right and privilege is to
study, to learn-not only what
as 111 t.t:xt. boQka, but In newspn.
pcrs and mag-.uines, too. The
good student is nlways in!orn1ed
of what is going on nround him.
A true saturHlion o£ WOI'Id nffnil·s
would be both imJ>08Siblo nnd impractical;
it would intcrfca·c with
s tudy time that should be devoted
to designated subjects, but n genetal
outline of current utrulrs is
both possible und necessm·y. Mnn
lives to learn in order to better
fill his place in creation and to
more fully serve his Creutor.
Failure to do so in this nspeet is
comparable to failu~ in living.
The sophomores, in loughing at
their own inadequacy of informs��
tion were in reality, udmitting
defea t without a fight.
