![SMILE FOR THE CAMERA: The 1988-89 yearbook shows the first Scarlet Scroll staff with their advisor, Susan Diaz. As a new publication, the newspaper staff had to put extra care into making sure what they were reporting on set a positive precedent for the paper on campus. “The administration at the time was very afraid that the Scroll would immediately turn into a format where students could just take pop shots at [them],” Gene Jimenez, a member of the 1988-89 staff, said. “And when we showed them that we could actually produce [something] as semi-responsible adults, it was a big deal.”](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/doc00617420211117152104-copy-601x900.jpg)

![EXPECTATIONS VS REALITY: On the far left are reference images that makeup lead Kemper Rodi and the rest of her team used for inspiration while designing makeup looks for the character of Ariel in The Tempest. The middle image is the initial design for her makeup look, while the image on the right is the final look used in the show. These pictures show how makeup looks can change over the course of production. “While I do love my makeup looks and I do have very high expectations for them, some of those expectations are not realistic.” Rodi said. “While I was doing The Tempest, I had this huge [idea] for Ariel where I wanted Ariel completely painted white, but then we got into the process and we realized that [the concept] would be a conflict with [the other characters] costumes. So I had to basically narrow it down [and modify] the look.” (Photo courtesy of Kemper Rodi)](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/3A4C329B-303E-46B3-8506-A17F2ECA1EB5-900x463.jpeg)

![Mater Dei Homecoming 1953 THE FIRST OF MANY: The Homecoming of 1953 was the first homecoming in Mater Dei history. The ‘50s was a defining decade for fashion where many new looks, styles, and silhouettes rose to relevance. The rise of the “New Look” by Christian Dior in the late 1940s, which was considered big and bold for the era, opened the gates for new ideas and shaped fashion history. The “New Look” had full dress skirts and a padded bust to accentuate the waist. Popular dress silhouettes of the time were the swing dress, which was tea length [3 to 4 inches above the ankle], and full-skirted, and the pencil dress which was form-fitting. Popular cocktail and evening dress silhouettes were commonly made from silk, taffeta, lace, or velvet. The necklines were high and round in a V shape and had minimal trim.](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/doc00583720211011131355_001-2-475x322.jpg)
