Spring Weekend Gala Affair Many Innovations Springtime is a coming in, and while young lads' fancies everywhere are turning, many young lassies here are turning their fancies towards thoughts of Spring Weekend. This year, the .feature festival will hold sway on campus May 13, 14 and 15th. As has been the custom, general supervision will be in the hands of Student Council, each class manning an individual event. A revamped agenda offers more varied entertainments for all those participating. Friday night the Sophomore Class will furnish the rural flavor with a hayride and square dance at Mercy Hall. (It is firmly hoped Old Man Moon will also provide some necessary requisites.) Newport's salt air and seashore will extend a congenial setting for the beach party planned on the following afternoon by the members of the Freshman Class. Saturday night the Juniors' prom shall have the spotlight; a formal dinner served at 8: 30 followed by dancing from 9: 00 until 12: 30. Sunday's schedule lies in the hands of our "grand old" Seniors. After a special Mass in the cha:pel for all couples attending the weekend, brunch will be served in the dining room. The afternoon focuses around a new experiment here on campus, the Jam Session. Chairmen in the respective classes are Misses Helgi Danjczek, Joan Vaillancourt, Shirley Gartsu and Joan Howell. Further information can be gained from these or any members of Student Council. In the relatively short history of our college, Spring Weekend has become a tradition of amusing associations and happy recollections. Those who have attended it have not been disappointed, but rather have procured a storehouse of good stories and hearty laughs. While we are here together in College sharing our academic life, it is important that we do not forget co share socially ... and what could be a better time than spring? The weekend will give us all rhe opportune moment. Why not take advantage of it? Vol. 8, No. 4 - Salve Regina College, Newport, R.
