. . . from us to youWith the aid of end-of-the-year retrospective visionjand

from our higher-up positions as editors,! let us look back onthe year. SurprisinglyJ the whole year is not equalltolthe

su m of its parts—those fragmentary episodes which managed to make these editorial columns month by month . Allin all, it's been a good year, §a year bettered by your contributions.

So, may we propose a toast , a p at on the shoulder, anda round of applause, in addition to our sincere thanks to eachof you for being and doing, often without recognition.

I Withinjthe wide vista^of achievements, let us focus^ourattention on a few examples of behind-the-scenes, unacknowledged leadership and concern for the general welfare.

F i r s t of all, we extend special thanks to Marilyn Schrein-er, a leader, not only* amon g leaders, but of leaders. We seea platform fulfilled; a renovated, relocated bookstore, I.D.cards, informal meetings with Sister Carolyn, and otherS.G.AJsponsored projects .

At successful F athe r-Da ugh ter W eekend, choir fpracticerevision, and otEer Dorm Council projects are almost synony

mous with it s capable leader, Marion Michaels. Among otherprograms designed to unify the day students, th e programof summertime bowling, initiated by D.S.O. president LoisMatt is, stands outf as fworthy of recognit ion!

Student government committee chairman Marlene De-Santis and Ginny Hammer deserve |a special recognition. Associal committee chairman, Marlene encountered and overcame a number of obstacles to sponsor a series of most-enjoyable I events. Asf chairm an of the green stamp committee,Ginny's vital ity fand enthusiasm contributed; greatly to theattained goal—our around-town, out-of-town means of t ransportation. 1 I f

We thank th e administrat ion and faculty for a numberof things—for th e scheduling of|first| semester quarterl ies,cars-on-campus, and for it s concern for us. $

Although we have singled out a few people for specialrecognit ion, |w e extend—in all sincerity—a thanks to eachof you for making th e year what it was . J

f rom Mar ty and Fran . . ."To everything, there is a rea

son, and a time for every purposeunder heaven . . . a time to besilent and a time^to speak." Thisyear has been our time to speak.

Now, as thefnew editorsfwe arenot indispensable, we have onlya few words to say about our im

pressionsof

th e past? year.It's been a year of hard workand desperate fun, of long hoursand short cigarette breaks, of controversies raised andlsome issuessettled.

We leave pleased with ourfin-no vat ons and achievements: the

six-page issues, the many pictures,P.S.S& S. We take fpride in ourFirst Class rating ffrom the | Associated Collegiate Press. But thatwe have strengthened our editorial policy and have become representative of student life and opinion gives us the most satisfaction.

There was a time to weep whenour integrity was unjustly questioned. But| there were times tolaugh and times to dance. Weknow that the new staff wiU continue to build; to them we wishprudence and fortitude. Now i t isour time to be silent.

Janis  Bodnar, a junior education major from Mercer, Pennsylvan ia^ Marianne K ing, a sophomore el. ed. major from Williams-port, Pennsylvania; and AudnaLinter, a sophomore art majorfrom Ramsey, New Jersey, haveapplied for admission in the program.

The project, under the directionof Rev. Richard^Wempke of Kansas City, is designed for personswho are interested in either thehome or the foreign lay-volunteermissions. In addition, i t is intended for those who wish to give partof their summer to help a pastorbring Christ to his people.

After a ten day orientation period, the volunteers will spendmostjof their summer^in door-to-door census taking and catechetical? instruction*

Closer to home, a £two weeksummer catechetical program atSt. Michael 's parish in Greenville has interested eight otherstudents. W orking with Rev. Lewis Vinca, the students will lead

Participants in this program include junior cadets Jane Blum,Cindy Lenar, Anne McGinnis, andJulie O'Mahaney. Several sophomores will also participate in thisprogram.

What was your impression ofthe mock nominating convention?

Ginny Hammar: ". . . createdgeneral political interest which isnecessary in an election year. Infact, it gave us a good start informing some political convictions."

Kris Monroe: ". . | . made memore current-event minded. Ithink we have the tendency tostudy ancient history and to ignore current history/ '

Denise Marks:!". . . politicallystimulating. I would like to takepart in the actual PennsylvaniaDemocratic convention."

Donna {Cacciatore: ". . . veryprofitable. It gave us an idea ofth e 'goings-on' at a nominatingconvention."

France, her stay should prove

both interesting a n d helpful.Kathy plans to take French, government, and education courses.Her education courses will enableher to do some first hand observing of the French education system.

Itl is hilarious to watch PeterSellers as President Muffey talking to§Kissof j on the "hot line"and getting into an argumentwith Kissof about which one is

sorrier for whatlhas happened.It is also hilarious 4 to see Sel

lers again as Ripper's adjutant,Group Captain Main drake, theonly man in the world who knowsthe code necessary to recall thebombers. He must call the President. There is a phone booth, butthe White House does not acceptcollect calls from unknown groupcaptains. He tells "Bat" Guanoto shoot the lock from a Coke machine for the 55 cents, but Guanosays, "That's private property."

Even the* discussion about theprobable war and the possibleend of the world is ridiculous.George C. Scott, as Gen. "Buck"Turgidson, is in favor of sendingthe rest of the planes to knock the

Reds off the map. There retaliatory force, he says, will be reducedso that the U.S. will suffer "onlyacceptable casualties—t en totwenty magadeaths," and he addswith a sporting s hrug | "dependingon the breaks."
