[ Lee L , - , THE TEACHERS COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF BOSTON Ntui PROLOGUE — ' ur college years have been wonderful years of pleasant asso- ciations, interesting classes, and treasured friendships. Soon these years will be only memories. In our LAMPAS we have preserved ourcherished experiences, that we may relive them in the future. We shall go forth into the professional world with a goodly heritage, — A heritage it seems to me, A king might wish to hold in fee. VI f ( w AV I ' i ' tBN ( 4 The Class of 1941 Dedicates THE LAMPAS to DR. AGNES GERTRUDE NASH The dedication of our LAMPAS attempts to capture on paper what has already been indehbly imprinted on the hearts of all who know Dr. Agnes G. Nash. Ever an inspiring teacher, a kindly and generous giver, she will always be remembered as one who upheld the highest ideals of the college and inspired everyone with whom she came in contact, to higher and more noble fields. ' She then to us new strength did give And in our souls did plant new powers. AGNES GERTRUDE NASH DR. MARY C. MELLYN Assistant Superintendent of the Boston Public School w. e, the Class of 1941, pay tribute to our Assistant Superin- tendent, Dr. Mary C. Mellyn, who retires in June after years of devoted service to the Boston schools. Because of her close asso- ciation with our college, first as a member of the Faculty and then as Assistant Superintendent, its interests hove been very close to her heart. Dr. Mellyn has been to us, as she has been to all mem- bers of the teaching profession, on unfailing source of inspiration. h er sympathetic understanding of the problems of the prospective teacher is equalled only by her skill in solving those problems. Her ennobling influence has been strong and far-reaching, and will always remain wi th us Teacher of Teachers! Yours the task, Noblest that noble minds can ask. Of you the growing mind demands The patient care, the guiding hands, Through all the mists of morn. And knowing well the future ' s need, Your prescient wisdom sows the seed To flower in years unborn. The Class of 1941 has been with us during the most critical years in the life of our college. The members of the class hove shown an appreciation of the ideals of our school, a devotion to its purposes, and a real spirit of cooperation in its endeavor to serve well the city that we love. These fine qualities prove that in the days to come, no matter how difficult they may be, the members of the Class of 1941 will do their part in preserving and promoting the high personal and professional ideals that the Teachers College has always fostered. My parting message to our graduates of 1941 is this: May God bless and prosper each and every one of you in your future work.

And surely no minutes bring us more content Than those in pleasing, useful studies spent. ' Nor from the perfect circle of tfie year Can even Winter ' s crystal gems be spared.

PRESIDENT WILLIAM HENRY JOSEPH KENNEDY Our guide, philosopher, and friend We shall always remember our president with deep affection and sincere respect, — affection because of his sympathetic under- standing and unfailing encouragement, — respect for his scholarly attainments, high educational standards, and strong leadership. {15 } DEAN WILLIAM FRANCIS LINEMAN Gentle of voice, beneficent of mind Our dean has been most kind and helpful in aiding us to solve our problems, hdis respect for the dignity of our profession mokes his advice wise and valuable for both students and teachers.

We shall always remember their friendliness, their helpfulness, their wise guidance, and their high professional ideals. ALMA MATER When we came. Alma Mater, to thee in our youth, When we lifted our eyes, full of trust, to thy face. When we felt there thy spirit, and saw there thy grace. We desired then thy wisdom, we longed for thy truth. As the years hove flown by with their toil and their joy. Thou hast quickened our ears, thou hast opened our eyes. Till the hill and the plain, till the seas and the skies. Are oil throbbing with beauty no hand can destroy. Thou hast shown us the world with its splendor and might. Its desire and its need thou host given us to see; Mother, grant us thy passion for service that we May lead youth with its ardor to seek for the light. Katharine h .

Ihe Class of 1941 dedicates this page of tfie LAMPAS to the memory of Mr. Breen, who gave eleven years of devoted service in the Science Department of The Teachers College. EHis happy spirit, his cheery smile, his able and willing helpfulness, his high ideals of duty will never be forgotten by those who were privileged to know him. ■(21 } TRIBUTE TO PARENTS We E dedicate this page of our LAMPAS as a tribute ofgratitude and affection to OUR FATHERS AND MOTHERS whose wisdom has guided us, whose faith has encouraged us, whose love has blessed us. May their noble example and unsel- fish devotion inspire us to high accomplishment! ■(23 THE SENIOR CLASS MARY L. KELLY SYLVIA J. DELLAMANO ADELINE F. GLASSER SYLVIA CUCUGLIATA President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary OUR FAREWELL TO TEACHERS COLLEGE As the sunlight that lingers in fair evening skies, Ere it fades into twilight a ay, Lights the heavens with brightness of glory untold, And imparts a new charm to the day — Even thus, doubly dear. Alma Mater, art thou A s we bid thee a loving fare ell, For the moment of parting new beauty reveals. And enchants us with memory ' s spell. May thy vv ords. Alma Mater, forever abide In our hearts, making duty seem fair. May thy blessing ennoble and brighten our lives, Give us strength to endure and to dare. As thou sendest us forth from thy sheltering care, From thy guidance so thoughtful and wise. May we follow thy precepts, and honor thy name. Ever faithful to memory ' s ties. 4 24 } ESTHER ROSLYN ABRAMSON Quite petite and always sweet — Clever, capable, and neat Esther ' s charm and wit make every social gathering o gala event. hHow often she furnished our As- sembly with a clever, well-turned bit of verse in celebration of some college undertaking! hHer executive ability was proved by her efficient direction of our Lampas dance. A cooperative spirit, industry, and originality, — valuable qualities of the model secretary, — are characteristic of Esther.

HELEN HAZEL AICARDI About binomial theorems I ' m teeming with a lot o ' news — With many cheerful facts about The square of the hypotenuse! A casual acquaintance might never suspect that behind Helen ' s smiling brown eyes lay a brilliant mathematical mind. Her talents in mathematics and finance have been displayed not only in the classroom and in the Mathematics Society, but also in her position as Business Manager of the Lampas. Helen, however, has Interests quite outside the exact sciences. She is an outstanding member of our Athletic Association, a capable equestrienne, a graceful skater, and an ardent rooter at football games. We owe her many thanks for her fun-loving companionship and her efficient management of our Lampas funds.

Her quiet manner and happy spirit combine to moke her a thoroughly enjoyable friend. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club; Commercial Club; Drama Club; h-listory Club, Music Club. PEARL ARONSON Teach me halF the gladness That thy brain must know. Pearl is a charming combination of a pleasant disposition, a calm manner, and a dash of sophistica- tion. She has the ability to adapt herself to any environment, and thus we find her an active mem- ber of the basket-ball team as well as one of our leading prom-trotters. Her logical mind and earnest application have given her academic success, and her happy temperament has made her a truly enjoyable companion.

Natural is the word for Doris — from her sunny, blond, curly hair to the sparkling vitality with which she enters into college activities. Like the Vener- able Bede of ancient days, our Beede possesses many enviable gifts. Classroom, Students Room, and the Welfare Club have benefited by her rare combination of wit, wisdom, and willingness. Good wishes would seem superfluous, for we know that Doris will always retain this happy harmony.

ELINOR GRACE BISHOP Oh blest with temper v hose unclouded ray Can moke tomorrow cheerful as today! The dominant note in Elinor ' s personality is the desire to moke life pleasant for those around her. She has the ideal combination of happy spirit and charming social graces. EHer talents range from proficiency in the domestic arts to vocal gifts that she hopes may lead to radio fame. Whether it be in the classroom, at the Prom, or on the tennis court, Elinor always brings a cheerful optimism, which enlivens any situation. A knowledge of the art of living and a gracious manner make her a pleasant companion. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Athletic Association; Music Club. ■(27 } MARGARET LOUISE BOWE To catch the trill of a happy voice And the light of a pleasant eye. Without Margaret where would our college musicoles have been? Of course, you remember her singing Morning in the Sophomore Lampos Campus and her excellent performance as Grosvenor in Patience. Not only does she hit high C with the ease of a prima donna, but she can also explain the mysterious workings of ma- chines, analyze the international situation, and discuss intelligently the present economic dilemma. In class she is usually very quiet, but when she does speak, everyone listens. Major: Music Minor: General Science Lampas Staff (Assistant Literary Editor),- Associated Science Clubs,- Drama Club; Music Club (Secretary ■39),- Science Club. MARGARET MARY BOYLE She is loyal of heart, high of purpose, and brave of spirit. Gay and witty, vivacious and venturesome, Peggy immediately gains and holds the attention of any group she enters. As a Freshman at Teachers College she was elected Class Secretary, and as a Senior she became Editor-in-Chief of our Lam- pas. Her innumerable clever posters stimulated the success of many college activities, and her unforgettably impressive portrayal of the Madonna in our Christmas Tableau revealed to us Peggy ' s versatility. Prominent in many college affairs, she is culminating her activities with her excellent editing of our Lampas.

BERNADETTE BREEN A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet. Bernie, in the eyes of the treasurers of our classes and clubs, is an angel. Because of her remarkable tact and pleasant manner her success in the field of high finance (collecting dues) has been remark- able. As councillor for two years her records have been a perfect example of conscientious work. The secret of her general popularity lies in her cordial, entertaining, and clever personality.

ANNE MARIE BROOKS Of charming air and winning ways. Anne, the inspiring and efficient President of our Self-Government Association, is, by virtue of her magnetic personality, one of the most popular girls in the Class of ' 41. Elected to many offices during her college years, she proved always a charming and capable leader. As chairman of Junior Week she planned for us seven wonder- ful days, which will live always in our memories. Her splendid dramatic ability, her genius for win- ning friends, and her high scholastic standing assure Anne ' s success.

We shall remember Gerry for her poise, her subtle wit, and her faultless attire, — whether extremely casual or perfect in its formality. If a bit of dialogue or a song for a class production are wanted, we need only call on Gerry. The unusual quality of her singing voice has been a distinctive feature of many o college production. Gerry has the ability to relieve any monotonous occasion with a bit of dry humor or a fragment of refreshing song. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Athletic Association; Drama Club; Music Club. DOROTHY LAURITA CARROLL A happy heart, A smiling face. With rounds of laughter in between. There is a dash of seasoning in the Carroll spirit that makes Dorothy an excellent condiment for a well-balanced college course. She is always on hand to shore in the fun, and is there, too, v hen there is work to be done. Her carefree spirit lightens the tasks of those with whom she works. May she never lose her youthful charm!

Do you remember the description of the beautiful Colleen, — block hoir and lovely coloring? In Anne you ' ll find her counterpart. Anne is quiet in temperament, and her quietness is like that of a spring garden — appealing and wholesome. Her understanding heart and her sympathetic spirit moke her the confidante of her friends, and her kindly sense of humor odds to the pleasure she gives others. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Drama Club; Geography Club; Music Club; Alpha Circle. ELEANOR ELIZABETH COYLE A soul sincere. In action faithful, And in honor clear. Brisk, precise, and scholarly, — true and steadfast in her aims, Eleanor exemplifies many of the desir- able qualities of the modern teacher. Early in her college career, she hitched her wagon (full of test-tubes) to a brilliant star, which now shines on all her work. She not only accomplishes her tasks with despatch, but she also stands ready and will- ing to do more. LHer neatness and efficiency augur well for her future success as a teacher. Yet her personality is so many-sided that she is often first in fun as well as in work.

Who is Sylvia? Beauty, charm, and efficiency commend our Sylvia to us. At all times Sylvia is well-groomed, her silky block hair in perfect order, her clothes in exquisite taste. Incidentally, we understand that she designs and makes these beautiful ensembles herself. Courteous and gra- cious to everyone, our Senior Class Secretary is always welcome in any group. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Class Secretary ' 41; Welfare Club, Commercial Club; Geography Club. FRANCES ANNE DALY The purpose Firm is equal to the deed. The soft glow of lamplight, a shiny table top, — and Fran intent on a problem in mathematics! Her keen, analytical mind and her excellent business ability were evident in her efficient chairmanship of our Class Ring Committee. Of o quiet, studious temperament, yet she has a happy sense of humor, which makes her always a congenial companion. The slightest acquaintance with Frances reveals the high idealism that directs all her endeavors.

Sylvia will be remembered as one of the best- liked girls of our class. Sfie goes out of her way to help people, and her sympathetic, understand- ing spirit makes her assistance always welcome. As Vice-President of the Senior Class, she has been a faithful and efficient leader. High on her list of hobbies is music in many forms, — piano, tonette, harmonica, ukulele, — and she is always willing to entertain us v ith a skilful performance on any of these instruments.

AGNES MARY DEVEAU Let gentleness my strong enforcement be. In her quiet, friendly way, Agnes has helped both in the regular college activities and in many extra-curricular affairs as well. The program for Parents ' Day in Education Week and the Junior Promenade benefited by her efficient work. When one least expects it, Agnes contributes a touch of humor to the occasion. Among her interesting avocations are knitting and dancing.

Her shoulders ore capable, too. Witness the efficient service she gave to the Commercial Club, the Geography Club, and the House Committee. Many times she has rescued a class from a maze of inconsistencies by a bril- liant and informative recitation Agnes has always proved her reliability, steadfastness, and worth, both in class work and in extra-curricular activities.

DOROTHY AGNES DRISLANE A maid so fair and happy! Beauty and happiness find a lovely combination in Dorothy, whose dimples and lovely hair-do odd to her charm. As the rosy-cheeked Dutch boy of our Sophomore Magic Lamp she revealed hitherto hidden Terpsichoreon talents. A wide range of interests and an unusual versatility result in making Dot a sports enthusiast, an entertaining friend, and a successful college student. Elementary-School Course Lampos Staff (Assistant Business Manager); Athletic Association; Classical Club; Mathematics Society; Alpha Circle. 34 RUTH MARIE FARREN Devise wit! Write pen! Ruth has quietly and efficiently taken part in many of the college activities. The Welfare Club has looked to her for the collection of dues and con- tributions, and the preparing of Thanksgiving baskets, while the Literary Club has benefited by her dependable service as its Secretary and Treas- urer. We shall remember Ruth as one who could always furnish a timely pun or joke from her rich store of wit.

GERALDINE MARIE FITZPATRICK She is wise, iF I can judge her — , And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true. Of course, you have noticed the clever little orna- mental gadgets Geroldine wears, but did you know that she makes them herself, her interesting avocation being arts and crafts? Her enthusiasm in sports finds Gerry expert on the ice in winter and on the tennis courts in summer. She also manages to serve on many committees, and to keep her studies up to a high standard. Her versatility and capability will serve her well in the classroom.

In paying tribute to Adeline, the First thing we should mention is her good sportsmanship. We say this with a two-fold meaning, — for she not only takes defeat quite as gracefully as victory, but she also excells in many sports. Furthermore, she is our ideal of what an athletic girl should be, slim and straight, and fond of the outdoors. Her even disposition and friendliness, which have won her many friends at Teachers College, assure her future popularity.

KATHERINE GOUZOULE You have dancing shoes with nimble soles. Laughter, color, and music surround Kay. We see her at the college proms, expertly dancing a gay tango or a lilting waltz. She has always been genuinely interested in class activities and has given freely of her talents. Her successful direc- tion of the dance routines for The Magic Lamp, our Sophomore Lampas ' production, established her as our Terpsichorean star. Our basket-ball games would indeed be dull without Kay ' s skill- ful playing, and the Chemistry Lab would be lost without her contagious laugh.

Think of something cute and pretty, wrapped in cellophane and tied with ribbon, and you will have our impression of Mel. fHer happy laughter makes us like to be in her company. But she is more than just good fun, — she is a faithful friend and a helpful classmate. For two years she has been a popular class officer, guiding class activities with admirable success, for she is gifted with the ability to say and do the right things at the right moment, and to brighten the darkest situation with sparkling wit.

Outstanding in dramatic presentations during her college career, Terry might well seek a place with the Blackfriars. Certain hidden talents of Terry ' s have recently been brought to light; she not only plays Rachmaninoff ' s Prelude and Beethoven ' s Moonlight Sonata, but she can give a clever performance of folk dances. Ever on her lips are praises of her Celtic ancestors and the glory and culture of the Emerald Isle.

So typically the American Girl is Miriam, that we can almost see her stepping out of a McClel- land Barclay sketch. hHer poise and dignity would hardly suggest her dexterity in basket-ball and tennis. Nature has endowed her v ith a beautiful complexion, and her lovely teeth add charm to her friendly smile. Fun-loving and companionable, she is able to mix seriousness with pleasure.

ELEANOR HEERDE A day in springtime never came so sweet. Always poised, charming, and courteous, with a friendly smile for everyone, — thus we see Eleanor. Quiet and understanding, she proved to be a most efficient leader in directing the work of the College Welfare Club. As its president in our Junior year, she gave generously of her time, her energy, and her ability in the service of others. We know that those with whom Eleanor comes in contact in the future will love and respect her as we do.

Kate, with her rosy cheeks and shiny black hair, is the embodiment of exuberant, healthy, happy youth. Indeed she still has something of the little-girl look. She has gone through college with a gay smile that has endeared her to her classmates. The success of many of our college Teas has been due to her clever management, — and to the luscious cakes of her own baking which she contributed to the refreshment table! In portraying the angel in The Second Shepherd ' s Play, Kate carried on a family tradition and was as appealing a cherub as her sister was in other years. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club,- Literary Club; Drama Club. TERESA LOUISE MINES And a rainbow held out its shining hand. So what could I do but laugh and go. Terry rubbed the wonderful lamp of Aladdin, and according to the best Arabian Night tradition there arose a genie, the Spirit of ' 41. Terry com- manded the genie to fill full the coffers of our Lompas fund, and presto! with gold a-plenty there appeared the Lompas Campus. This suc- cessful production of our Freshman year augured well for the future of its director, - er early reputation for originality and ingenuity has been supplemented by the growing fame of her humor. Brevity is the soul of wit, and wit is Terry ' s gift. Laughter and merriment always result from her clever bon mots.

Irene is one of the most vibrant personalities in the Class of ' 41 . She is a girl of many interests,- indeed, her indefatigable energy is a constant source of wonder to her college mates. In the classroom, on the rostrum where she presided as executive officer of the Self-Government Association, or in the midst of extra-curricular activities, her captivat- ing smile and her genial manner won her many friends. Effervescently humorous, Irene has the gift of spreading joy so that soon all about her are as merry as she.

EMMA MARIE HORBLIT Music as sweet As the music which seems Breathed softly and faint In the ear of our dreams. Naturally of a retiring nature, Marie nevertheless always makes her presence felt. She not only has a singing voice of rare beauty, but she is an excel- lent pianist as well. Fler ability in music is supple- mented by her conscientious devotion to her studies. Of high ideals and fine character, Marie will undoubtedly reach her goal as a successful teacher.

Under Doris ' quiet, unassuming manner lies a strength of purpose that the casual acquaintance might not suspect. Cheerfulness and helpfulness have become synonymous with the name of Doris, and we have yet to see the day when her calm spirit will be ruffled. With rhythm and music a part of her soul, she works wonders at the piano, as her clever fingers fly over the keys. Maior: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club,- Commercial Club; Literary Club; Music Club. ELIZABETH MARTHA JOHNSTON The love of laughter. The old saying, Good things come in small packages, certainly applies to Elizabeth. Her pleasant personality and gay, cheerful nature en- able her to make friends with everybody. Elizabeth is a good organizer, especially when it comes to planning the refreshments for a club meeting or class activity. In her senior year she made a very winsome, as well as efficient, president of the Com- mercial Club. Her spontaneous, happy laughter is contagious, and wherever Elizabeth is there are never any long faces.

A welLmodulated voice, talent for playing the piano, a sincere and understanding personality — these are the qualities we find in Frances. Indus- try and perseverance are shewn in all her work. Although we have been told repeatedly that there are no ' born ' teachers, Frances seems to be an exception to the rule, as all who have seen her teach will attest. We feel sure that, whatever the situation, Frances will always respond in a way to moke Teachers College proud of her. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Music Club. . M. DOROTHY JONES In glittering, golden characters. Express our general praise of her. ' Do you remember the attractive silver and blue fan tickets for our Junior Promenade? They are only one evidence of Dot ' s capability and ingenuity in creating novelties. This industrious young lady reads all the best sellers, but she has a particular preference for Maxwell Anderson ' s works. In fact, he has inspired her to do some creative writ- ing in the field of drama. We predict a successful future for this versatile and well-poised member of our class.

When we chose Mary for Class President in our senior year, we chose wisely and well. Determina- tion, organizing ability, and charm hove made her a successful and gracious leader of our class. We all know, too, how unselfishly, throughout our college years, Mary has given of her talent in music toward the success of our social activities. Mindful of her patience and helpfulness at rehears- als and performances, we proffer her our sincere thanks. Wherever her future path may lead, Mary will always be the center of graciousness and friendship.

And shook a prelude from them as a bird Shakes from his throat a song. Whence comes that beautiful classic melody or that gay popular tune? Trace the music to its source, and you will find — Elinor Kendrick! This talented student is always willing to play the piano for a dance In the Gym or for a community sing. Elinor Is Interested also in dancing and dramatics. As chairman of many committees and as Class President In our Junior year, she demonstrated her industry and her organizing ability. Elinor brings to all her activities o sincere interest and a gracious charm that v in for her ready cooperation from her classmates.

ANITA GLADYS LIEF We often wonder what there lies Behind those dork and gleaming eyes.

Anita has always been active in class affairs, and in her senior year was a valuable member of the Seif-Government Prom Committee. hHer artistic talent was mani- fested in the attractive posters she so willingly made for our college activities. hHer chief hobbies are dancing and handicraft.

Smoothly, like a silver-winged bird, the huge tri-motor plane taxied the length of La Guardio Field, and then gracefully pointed its nose toward the sky. Gathering altitude, it soared into the clouds until it became a mere speck in the vast firmament. As the hostess began her usual inspection to see that all the passengers were comfortable, she glanced, almost with envy, at a group of women travelling together. They were indeed an interesting group, — well-poised, attractively gowned, success- ful-looking. Had you or I been there, v e should have recognized them as members of the Class of ' 41, Teachers College. They had chatted pleasantly together for a few minutes about this and that, when one of the women made a remark that started a flood of reminiscence. Isn ' t it strange, she said, that in this small group so many of us are working in fields other than that for which we were trained, — a dress-designer, a dancer, a social worker, a happy wife and mother! I am the only one still in the teaching profession,- yet here we ore all returning to the old Alma Mater for our reunion. hHow the years have flown by! Can it really be our fifteenth reunion, — fifteen whole years since we were graduated? It hardly seems possible, came the reply, our college days are still so fresh and clear in my mind! Framed in a mass of silver fox, the speaker, a famous dress- designer, looked like a fashion plate out of VOGUE. College, to me, she con- tinued, ' seems like looking bock into four clothes closets, each with a personality of its own. The firsi closet contains many outfits that in our freshman days represented that the well-dressed college girl wore — light wool dresses, tailored skirts, starchy blouses, and low-heeled shoes. There hangs the classic ' beer jacket that was never off in my early college days, and the gay kerchiefs that were worn wrapped around the neck. On the floor is a pair of dirty brown-ond-white saddle shoes — college and saddle shoes were inseparable. The length of the skirts in each closet clearly dates them, indeed our four-year progress through college might have been reckoned by the skirts, which rose gradually from the middle of the leg up to the knee, The sophomore closet (college was on old story by then) seems to hove a less complete up-to-the-minute v a rdrobe, but a new garment is now featured, the plaid skirl, — plaited plaids, tailored plaids, biased plaids, swing plaids, a thousond-one- ploids. ' Color is the outstanding characteristic of the third closet, for in our junior year, ' Sloppy Joe ' sweaters and gay peasant kerchiefs of all colors of the rainbow, were the rage. The greens, yellows, and blues were emphasized in bright knee socks, a style that leveled the apparent age of a college girl to that of a high- schooler. This closet represents the peak of bagginess and comfort in our college fashion-parade. The lost closet glows with glamor and sophistication. Saddles and side-saddles hove been replaced by various types of respectable shoes, — spectators, patent- leather pumps, and wedgies. Dresses are spotless, skirts have been pressed, and hats have come into their own again. No longer could we feel utter comfort without ■( 68 regard for appearance! But even now, what one of us can pass through the college shop without a pang of homesickness! People soy, ' Clothes moke the woman, ' but I think we might well say, ' Clothes make the college girl ' . There was a general murmur of voices as each member of the group recalled some remembrance of happy days gone by, and now reminiscence was in full swing. Attention soon centered around a tall, graceful oman who hod gained world fame as a dancer, long since superseding Arthur Murray. The old familiar giggle sounded OS she settled herself to carry on the conversation. I recall that when I was in T. C, although I never could keep my feet still, yet often they didn ' t get me into class on time,- nor could I keep my mind off the coming dances long enough to have it absorb much knowledge. Do you remember our first dance, the Self-Government Prom of our freshman year? We all arrived in new taffeta dresses and, with our knees shaking, led an awkward, gawky boy up to the receiving line. After this, dances became more and more thrilling: every year the glorious formal dance in December at some large hotel, and then the romantic, moonlit summer party at Belmont Springs or Wood- land, where we danced in dimly-lighted rooms or strolled along the moonlighted fairways. All too plainly comes back the question. Whom are you going to take? ' as we vied with each other for the handsomest and most popular youths. How excited we were over the latest dance fads! As freshmen we did the Big Apple, and then in our sophomore year, the Lambeth Walk. The last two years were spent trying to maneuver the intricate steps of the latest swing, only to find it giving way in popu- larity to the alluring rhythms of the Conga and the Rhumba. Dances gave to college life the glamor, the touch of romance we shall never forget. For a moment the silence remained unbroken, as each one, with a whi-msicol smile, recalled a certain romantic evening, or a gown that hod been her heart ' s desire. The spell was broken by the teacher in the group; she, too, had won fame in her profession, — president of the N. E. A., and recognized as a leader in modern educa- tional thought. You kno , she began, we haven ' t yet spoken of the serious side of our education. It all comes back to me as if it were yesterday, how we entered the building, trembling at the thought of being in college, and jumping when anyone spoke to us. Dr. Kennedy, Dean Linehan, and Miss Sollawoy were simply names of unapproachable deities, but names that soon became synonyms for the word, friend. Soon classrooms became havens for the intellectually ambitious (all of us, of course), and our instructors, friendly guides. Our experiences at the Model School convinced us that we were all ' naturals ' as teachers. I am sure that the mere mention of the sophomore curriculum will bring groans as you recall the frog that never could be dissected into its component parts, and the horror of English hour-exams. The senior year, I recall as a year of speed, a year of parting, a year of finality. The most striking thought in my mind is the uncomprehending attitude with which we began our college education, and the gradual change in our outlook as we absorbed the spirit of the T. C. motto, ' Education for Service. ' Although we hove gone into various fields of work, I know that you, as well as I, realize that the true aim of education is higher and nobler than merely imparting knowledge. Silence again fell on the group as the memory of the fine old motto pulled at their heart-strings. Finally someone sug- gested, Let s hear what the married member of our group remembers best about college. Well, began the one who hod added the letter MRS to her other degrees, having married an architect, I suppose I hove become building-conscious. I like to recall the sensation of beauty I experienced when at mid-day I entered the high- paneled library with its shelves of books, bright and cheerful with the flood of sun- shine pouring through the high windows. And the lunchroom that was so often the ■169 } occasion for serious, but off-the-record, debates and confidence! Tfien, too, tfiere was tfie students ' room witfi its inviting couches and chummy atmosphere. Other rooms I recall are Miss Sallaway ' s busy office, and Dr. Kennedy ' s and Dean Linehan ' s sancta sanctorum, — and lost but not least, the Assembly hHall, where we gathered each day for a religious ' pause in the day ' s occupations ' — and later to hear the daily news. We all shore memories of these rooms,- when we wander through them this evening, we shall find that each step is a step into the happy past. Everyone v os quiet under the spell of sentimental thoughts of youthful days, now fifteen years gone by. Finally the thread of conversation was picked up by a gentle, capable-looking woman, who hod once been our class president. Now her name was known for fine achievement in the field of social service. What I remember best about college, she said, is the happiness of those years, and the little details that gave us that happiness. The awe I felt during freshman hazing is still fresh in my mind; I trembled every time I was spoken to by an upper-classman. And, by the way, I still keep in contact with my junior sister, who introduced me to all the fun. Of course, you all remember the clubs. The cooperative Arts made a place for us in its major productions, and we practised proper accents for MARY OF SCOTLAND, learned songs for PATIENCE, or built properties for TWELFTFH NIGFHT. Interest in the activities of the various clubs made all in the college of one class, and all classes of one spirit. Dearest to our hearts were the activities of our own class. With what enthusiasm we produced the LAMPAS CAMPUS, that astounded the whole college with its success; and then its sequel, TFHE MAGIC LAMP! Denouement! When the curtain was drawn, the LAMP had been forgotten! How we enjoyed the LAMPAS dances and suppers and roller-skating parties! Junior Week was like an initiation into adult life; we dined en masse at the Country Plate, where we received those adorable bracelets as favors; later we saw that hilarious musical comedy, h lGhlER AND HIGhTER; and finally came the climax, the Junior Prom, each one of us radiant with a new dress and a new hair-do. Then everyone seemed to be talking at once, and recollections came thick and fast: The first day of practice teaching, the Boston exams. Class Day, the daisy chain, the Banquet, the Picnic, the Faculty Reception, and, of course. Commencement. Commencement — the end and the beginning — and now but a happy memory! Suddenly the towers of Boston loomed up on the horizon. Surely finding its goal, the silver bird circled the field, and then swooped to the ground! These women, you notice, are nameless; Now who can they possibly be? Gentle reader, you answer this question- Find their names from among eighty-three. Jean Towhill ■(70 CLASS POEM THE SONG OF LIFE Perplexed and sad, I walked in the Valley of Youth And sought the path to wisdom, faith, and truth, But clouds obscured the day. I moved in shadows dark ith doubts and fears. Afraid to face the future, — and its tears. I prayed to find my way. And lo! in answer to my fervent prayer The heavens opened, music filled the air. And Hope, my fears allayed. I knew the way to honor, peace — to life,- I saw ahead the glory, — and the strife. But I was not afraid. Oh beautiful the song that filled my heart With hope — and bade each cringing fear depart. An angel ' s rhapsody! The music loosed the bonds which held my soul. The shadows fell away, — I saw my goal, — I knew that I was free. But whence the music came, I knew not then. And in my fancy thought Pan piped again. To calm all pain and strife. But wisdom since has taught me ' tis not Pan That plays this noble melody to man — It is the song of Life. For Life alone has power by its art To ake the soul, to stir within the heart. The hope for nobler things. Enthralled, I followed where the music led. And to exalted heights of joy I sped. My soul, it seemed, had wings. You, too, have heard the heav ' niy rhapsody That opens wide a world of ecstasy. Where dreams of youth come true. May Life sing ever songs of loveliness, And bring you courage, hope, and happiness — This is my prayer for you. Kathleen Patricio Peyton {71 } IVY ORATION How beautiful is youthi how bright it gleams With its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of Beginnings, Story without End, Each maid a heroine and each man a friend! All possibilities are in its hands. No danger daunts it, and no foe withftands,- In its sublime audacity of faith ' Be thou removed! ' it to the mountain soith; And with ambitious feet, secure and proud, Ascends the ladder leaning on the cloud! These lines come from an ode written by Longfellow for the fiftieth reunion of his class at Bowdoin College. Looking back to their Commencement Day, a half- century before, Longfellow recalls to his classmates the beauty of youth that once was theirs. Today we open our Book of Beginnings. We have just carried out the ceremony of planting of the ivy, the traditional symbol of the completion of college life. Thus far we hove been guided by parents and teachers, but now the time has come for us to assume the responsibilities of adult life. Although we face a war-torn and sorrowful world, let us try to give to the v orld, in the hour of its need, the benefit of those qualities which the aged poet saw as youth ' s endowment. All possibilities are in our hands. Time has not dulled our high ideals and aspirations. Can we not keep them untarnished and devote them to unselfish service for good? Youth has always been the hope of the world. Youth, undaunted, faces disappointments with unyielding courage and trusting faith that refuse to admit failure or defeat. To the progress of mankind. Youth contributes soaring am- bition and boundless enthusiasm, as Age gives wise counsel and guidance. We are not the first generation to go forth in times of stress. Let us today resolve that whatever the future may hold, we will do our part bravely — strong to endure and to dare. Life cannot be successful unless one has a definite purpose and goal. We have chosen to be teachers, and so have assumed a double responsibility,- we owe duty not only to our own generation but to the children vvho will be in our charge, — to the young lives that we shall mold. We can vitalize our work with our own youthful enthusiasm,- we can share our ideals with our pupils, give them courage and faith, and kindle in their hearts devotion to duty and respect for the right. Thus we shall be doing our part toward making a better, brighter world. May we, in our teaching, always bear in mind the closing words of our college hymn, ALMA MATER: Mother, grant us thy passion for service that we May lead youth with its ardor to seek for the light.

Words: Margaret Mary Boyle Music: Hinda Lampke ■{81 } CLASS ESSAY THE PILLARS OF DEMOCRACY Today the democracies of the world are challenged. When Lincoln in imperish- able words defined a democracy as a government of the people, by the people, and For the people, he propounded also the vital question, Con a nation so con- ceived and so dedicated long endure? The chaos of the world today has invested this historic question with a new and overwhelming significance. It is interesting that on answer to this great question can be found in Washington ' s famous Farewell Address, so familiar today because of its earning against entangling alliances. In this some speech Washington tells his people that the two mighty pillars that are necessary to sustain a democracy if it is to be successful, are education and religion. Let us consider why education is essential to the survival of a democracy. Washington ' s words of wisdom ore these: Promote then as an obiecl of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened. To what extent is a democracy entrusted to the hands of its people? The very v ord democracy is derived from two Greek words meaning people and rule. Only in a democracy does the ruling power reside in the people. Thus a democracy more than any other type of government demands an educated people. What is education? First of all, education means the training of the intellect. To our schools belongs the task of developing an intelligent voting public — not only a literate people, but a thinking people, who have studied the foundations of our government and have a technical understanding of its workings, so that they ore able to give public problems intelligent consideration and to act wisely in solving them. Because of the increased interdependence of nations, our people must have also a knowledge and understanding of other forms of governments, other countries, and other peoples. In addition, opportunities must be provided for specific vocational, technical, and professional education to insure the advancement of our country socially and economically. Education implies something broader than the mere training of the intellect — it includes the strengthening and development of character. A nation is composed of individuals, and if we ore to have a nation that is honest in its dealings, — that is characterized by fairness, justice, and consideration for the rights of others, we must first develop these traits in the individual. We must obtain a clearer comprehension and higher ideal of these qualities, so that we may exercise them in a measure tem- pered by good judgment and broad tolerance, h onesty should apply not only to personal belongings, but to public property. Thrift must not degenerate into miserli- ness. Loyalty must be pledged intelligently toward a worth-while ideal. Patriotism should mean not merely a passive love for our great country, but rather on active devotion to her interests, and a recognition of our individual responsibility in her service. Character education today means a nobler people tomorrow. In this democratic program of education for all, good teachers are vitally neces- sary. Teaching is more than a job. It is a sacred trust. It is the profession of pro- fessions. The teacher ' s task is three-fold: First of all, to impart knowledge and to develop special abilities and talents,- second, to foster on appreciation of the artistic and beautiful; and third, to guide and direct the development of character. To fulfil {82 } these tremendous obligations, the teacher must not only be well prepared intellec- tually to give adequate instruction, but she must be of strong and noble character to inspire high ideals. A teacher affects eternity,- she can never tell w here her influ- ence stops. Truly, the teachers of America hold in their hands the destiny of our country. Their responsibility it is to educate on intelligent people, who will sacredly guard our democratic form of government. Let us now turn our attention to Washington ' s second prerequisite for the success of a democracy, — a religious people. Washington said: Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, leligion and morality are Indispensible supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent fe.icity cf a nation with its virtue? We enjoy the greatest blessing of a democracy — the freedom to worship God accord- ing to the dictates of our conscience. Although as a free nation we can hove no state religion, we are a religious people. Americans have a general belief in and dependence upon One Supreme Being, the Creator and Ruler of the universe. Even the American Indian, in that inspiring statue at the entrance of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, is symbolized with his hands uplifted in prayer to the Great Spirit. With Tennyson we can say, More things ore wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Prayer has a transforming and fortifying power. It is interesting that the following testimony to the supreme value of prayer comes, not as might be ex- pected from a clergyman, but from a great scientist. Dr. Alexis Carrel, hie soys that the results of prayer can be measured in terms of increased physical buoyancy, greater intellectual vigor, inoral stamina, and a deeper understanding of the realities underlying human relations. There is a danger in praying, both as individuals and as a nation, that we selfishly entreat God to bring things to pass as we would have them be. Phillips Brooks must have hod this thought in mind when he warned, Do not pray for tasks equal to your pov ers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Let us with faith in God and mankind pray without ceasing for power and courage to face this world ' s problems and do our part toward solving them. A religious people are a hopeful people. They cherish in their hearts not only a belief in the world to come, but a hope for a better world on earth. Now abideth faith, hope, love, — these three, and the greatest of these is love. It is the love of God in the heart which disposes us to share with our neighbor, whether that sharing be in the form of giving of our substance, performing on unselfish service, or imparting an encouraging word of cheer. Religion brings to every heart a peace that the world cannot give. It gives to the nation a vision of a world where the Golden Rule is applied between capital and labor, political parties, denominations, and nations. Let us breathe our prayer for America in the familiar words: America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. If we can attain Washington ' s great ideal of a nation supported by the mighty twin pillars of education and religion, v e can say with confidence and hope that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

TO THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT A large endowment for the building, on the first floor, of a suite of laboratories from which H2S and other chemical fragrances cannot escape.

Throughout our college career the Self-GovernmenI Association has been a vital force for good in the life of each of us. Quietly and steadily it has furthered the interests of the student body, by developing high standards of honor, and a recogni- tion of the individual responsibility of every member for the welfare of ihe college. The major events sponsored each year by the Association are the celebrations of Education Week and Self-Government Week. The Self-Government Association has had gratifying success in securing loyal support and splendid cooperation from the various college organizations. We can say confidently that the students of Teachers College believe thai self-government is the only kind of government that really counts. {92 } AVE ATQUE VALE To the Juniors from the Seniors hHail to the Class of 1942!

This club serves our college in many ways, such as planning the scenery for plays, arranging the decorations for dances and parties, and making posters for various college events. Teachers College students will never forget the beautiful Madonna tableau presented each year by the Art Club to usher in the Christmas season. Another Yuletide activity of the Club is the sale of holiday greeting cards, attractively designed and block printed in gay holiday colors. Creative work is always fostered and encouraged by our director. Modeling with soap and clay, sketching with pen and pencil, painting v ith water colors, ore among the varied activities. Then, too, tours to art exhibits and spots of scenic beauty form another part of the Club ' s interesting program. Last, but not least, the socials are always well attended and thoroughly enjoyed. Thus in many ways the Art Club opens up opportunities for the worthy use of leisure time. ■{96 } KATHERINE GOUZOULE President DOROTHEA BURTON Vice-President RUTH WHITE Treasurer AGNES WESTWATER Secretary MISS AMMIDOWN Faculty Adviser CURRENT SCIENCE CLUB Science, like virtue, is its own greatest reward. This year oil the science clubs previously existing at the College were con- solidated to form the Current Science Club. Membership is open to all students in- terested in the sciences. Many varied activities were undertaken this year. In the fall, several students and the adviser enjoyed a delightful week-end at Antrim, New hlompshire. Mosses, ferns, and insects, of valuable use in laboratory study, were collected. At one meeting, a student gave a talk on Photography — Printing and Developing. The information which we gained will be of great value in future teaching, since so many boys and girls ore eager to know more about this fascinating subject. Dr. Edwin hHaertI gave a lecture of special value to students interested in the field of research, hlis subject, hTow One Goes About Doing Research Work on Chromosomes, was of absorbing interest. Again, as in the past, the annual Christmas Sale, at which attractive dish gardens were featured, os a financial success. The Current Science Club has given us valuable information, as ell as delightful social hours, and has helped us attain a well-rounded college program. {97 } ELIZABETH JOHNSTON President MARY FOX Vice-President AGNES DONOVAN Secretary NATALIE FOWLES Treasurer DR. REGAN, MR. BITZER Faculty Advisers COMMERCIAL CLUB In books, or work, or healthful ploy. Let my first years be passed, That I may give for every day. Some good ' account ' at last. The Commercial Club, now in its seventh year, again served its aims by giving increased knowledge of the business world and added information concerning pro- fessional attitudes through its interesting and enjoyable meetings. In the fall, helpful talks were given by former members of the Club on their teaching experiences. The Christmas meeting stressed the extent and importance of Christmas business in our country,- and the field visit in March to the Boston office of the Dictaphone Company gave us on opportunity to see and use the latest models of commercial machines. As in former years, the final meeting was a reunion held in conjunction with the Alumni Dinner. 4 98 } ELIZABETH SULLIVAN President CAROLYN HEDSTROM Vice-President KATHLEEN HARRINGTON Secretary MARGARET BOYLE Treasurer MISS BRENNAN Faculty Adviser LITERARY CLUB There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away. To the Literary Club are welcomed all book-lovers who desire to discuss or to hear discussed the works of their favorite authors. One of the pleasantest features of the Club is that so many alumni members are regular in attendance and inspiring in their contributions to the programs. A delightful year has included the showing of the film version of The Moonstone ' Wilkie Collins ' famous mystery story,- a Christ- mas book fair; a hobby day, when Catherine Gilligan instructed us in the art of mak- ing puppets and entertained us with a puppet show,- and two round-table discussions of recent books. Rev. Terence L. Connolly ' s lecture on Francis Thompson proved the highlight of our activities. The final meeting, as usual, was the Club luncheon, held this year at the House of the Seven Gables. {99 } ISABEL E.

Nous nous Fomiliarisons avec la peinture et la musique frangaises; nous cherchons a mieux con- naitre I ' esprit frangois; et nous nous amusons d regarder des films frangais et d chanter des chansons.

VOSBURGH Faculty Adviser MATHEMATICS CLUB Mathematics takes us into the region of obsolute necessity, to which not only the actual world, but every possible world, must conform. The Mathematics Society is one of the few outside-curricular organizations open to undergraduates and graduates of the College, and to teachers in service. The society performs a two-fold duty in that its members derive both ple asure and in- tellectual benefit from its meetings. Well-known lecturers are invited to address the gatherings, and through them both the world of the abstract and the concrete are brought before us. The teachers in service, through their accounts of classroom difficulties, pass on the benefits of their experience to the students in the College. This year a special effort was made to have lectures by members of the college faculty both past and present. Through the lectures the importance of mathematics is seen not just in our sphere but also to the general public. The climax of the year s activities is the annual banquet, which brings to a fitting close ihe year ' s program. { 101 } WELFARE CLUB AGNES McCarthy ESTHER NOLLMAN ALDONA MOCKUS MARY FOX MARY KENEFICK ANNE LYONS DR. NASH President First Vice-President Second Vice-Preside nt Third Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser And now abideth faith, hope, and charity, these three,- but the greatest of these is charity. The Welfare Club is an all-college club, in that its membership comprises the faculty and the entire student body. The aim of the Club is to help in various ways needy children in our schools, and to reveal to the students the many opportunities a teacher has for noble service beyond the limits of the schoolroom curriculum. Various phases of welfare work are carried on under the direction of the officers, the faculty adviser, the group leaders, and the section aids, with the generous cooperation of the entire college. Milk for under-nourished children, clothing, eye- glasses, and other necessaries are provided. Bountiful Thanksgiving baskets bring holiday cheer into needy homes, and Christmas toys are sent to children in hos- pitals, orphanages, and the settlement houses where our students give voluntary service. Contributions are mode to such worthy causes as the Junior Red Cross, the Infantile Paralysis Fund, the Community Fund, the British War Relief, the Floating hlos- pital, and the Prendergast Preventorium Camp. In all its work the Welfare Club endeavors to make practical application of its motto, — Education for Service — Service for Education. { 102 THE CHRISTMAS TABLEAU MADONNA Margaret Boyle ANGELS Anne Corcoran Barbara Olsen Faith Hill CHERUBS Dorothy Drislane Bernadette Breen He len Shea Beatrice Delorey Eileen Bowers {103 DRAMA CLUB KATHLEEN HARRINGTON RUTH WHITE ANNE DOYLE HELEN HERLIHY RITA MORRIS MISS CLARK, MISS GAFFEY President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisers The play ' s the thing. The Drama Club affords many varied opportunities for enjoyment. At each meeting ploys are presented which not only provide amusement for the audience, but also adventures in vv ' riting, producing, casting, and acting for the active participants. The aim of the Club is to produce plays written and directed by its members. In this way valuable experience is gained, hich can frequently be utilized in the classroom. The Drama Club has nurtured, now as in the post, the inventive genius and initiative of its members. The Workshop undertakings in costuming, make-up, lighting, and scenery are witness of this. The Harvest Festival with its square dancing, rustic costumes, and melodramas is the opening highlight of the year. The annual Christmas Nativity Ploy is characteristic of the finish and sincerity of all Drama Club productions. In the Drama Club is exemplified the unselfish, cooperative, genial spirit of the Teachers College students. •(104 } THE SOCIAL WHIRL When I was two-from-twenty, I heard a wise man shout, Take in your proms and parties but — Forget not ARMENTROUT!
