Title

Unidentified Lady Rambler with Sister Virginia, BVM

Description

An unidentified Lady Rambler, a member of Loyola's women's basketball team, points at a group photo while Sister Virginia, BVM [member of the Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary] (left) looks on. Both individuals are seated at a table with some food and drinks. There is a placard on the table with the words "S. Virginia." Other groups of women religious and Lady Ramblers can be seen chatting over their meals in the background.

The Lady Ramblers were adopted by the BVMs for a day on October 12, 1995. Apart from having breakfast together, the Lady Ramblers also showed the BVMs a tape with highlights from the last basketball season and organized a group picture. At the end of the event, the sisters, who also called themselves the "Senior Ramblers," cheered "2-4-6-8, we think you are great!" The Lady Ramblers responded with "B-V-Ms, you are gems."
