Alcalá 1956

Senior Class History Wide -eyed with the wonde r of being the first Freshman Class atthe San Diego College for Women, fifteen of t he present gradua ting class began the ir four-ye ar history of "b eing first." We were the first stud ents on the Alcala Park campus to be rece ived by Reverend Mothe r Rosalie Hill, founder and builder of the San Diego College for Women, to assist at a Mass of the Holy Ghost and to be invested with cap and gown. We wer e the first — and last — to entertainthe British Navy at a supper dance! When ReverendMot her Hill returned from Rome, we even exerci sed tri-location — we were at the station to meet her, we were at the fron t door to gree t her, and we used the theatre for the first time to receive her!!! Another "first" to our cre dit was our "Fresh­ man Follies." Encour aged by tha t success, we presented a unique (and fortunately, pri­ va te) inte rpre tationof THE MIKADO. Rut our production of the first annual Christmas Pageant enti tled "Christmas inMany Lands" was just as fort unately public, ifwe may judge from audience response. Our caroling was also begun tha t year, but on a small scale; already conscious of the Sacred Heart "fam­ ily" tradition ,we carolled the community by cand lelight one evening and next morning began the tradition of a surprise cap and gown Mass by way of saying "thank you" to our beloved faculty.
