Rosary Hill College now has an official intercollegiate men’s basketball team. The team will play a full 18 game schedule including home and road games, as well as an appearance at Memorial Auditorium. The team’s opponents will include freshmen teams from Canisius, Buffalo State, St. John Fisher, and the club will journey to Toronto in December for the Holiday Tournament hosted by Ryerson College. Home games will be played at Erie Community College- North. Head coach of the new Rosary Hill ball club is Gerald Falgiano, a physical education teacher with the Buffalo public schools. He will be assisted by Wavne King, a student at State University of New York at Buffalo. Both men are confident that the team’s first season will be a winning one, and they have already made application on behalf of Rosary Hill for acceptance into the N.C.A.A. small college division.

Alumni President's Report by Lucy Curley Teresi

“Le plus le change; le plus le meme chose. ” This adage, once characteristic of the activities of the Rosary Hill College Alumni Association, is no longer true. The ’71 - ’72 season was enormously successful; the present year promises to be even more so. Such success does not, however, spring Athena-like from the communal brow of the Board of Governors. The Board serves as a catalyst; the increased participation of the Alumni-at- large is the chemistry that makes such changes viable. Participation, as the Association envisions it, involves a twofold commitment on the part of alumni — personal and financial. We need your ideas, we need your help in organizing Patricia Curtis, faculty senate chairman; Patricia Wagner, student association events, and more important, we need you to want to come president; Sister Angela; Nedra Harrison, Community Service Medal recipient. to these events. In the past Rosary Hill’s position on your social totem was hardly enviable. But... we feel our stock is rising!
