Which seems so far, yet so near, Yes, its just El Recuerdo seeking me, Gently calling o'er life's Weary seas, Bidding me sit and think alone Of Alma Mater, the "Elms" once my home.

O'Leary, the most royal benefactor of the "Elms", has endeared himself to all who have come under his jurisdic- tion and gone forth from the portals of the "Elms" upholding those lofty ideals inculcated by the example of his true Christian life. The Psalm of Life may truly indeed be applied to our beloved Bishop where Longfellow says: "Not cnjoyrnzelzt, and not sorrow, Is our clesitined end or way,- Bzzt fo act, that each tomorrow Find 'us fartlzei' tlzcm today". gg N W w N A w W N i I e N N I r T I 243, 0 .

A keen lite-rary mind was one of the most important re- quisites for admittance into the mysteries which enshroud this famous association. Its thirty-two members will always cherish the pleasantest memories of the happy hours spent within the secluded Wall of St. Josephs Hall. Many and varied were the sub- jects discussed by members.

Some from whirling cities Like Springfield, Holyoke too, Many came from mountain sides The Berkshire Hills so blue. One there was from Worcester, The city of' seven hills Another came from Bondsville And Charlton's country rills. Was'nt it just too funny That cool September day When each would look at the other Wondering what to say? But soon the ice was broken And very soon indeed, The thirty girlish figures Talked at a terrible rate of speed. Then began our Normal days, A School, entertainments, socials and plays And before we knew and were able to Away sped the year of '23. 1924 holds many pleasures in memories Especially September of that year believe store! Our hearts were happy and filled with cheer For to us was given the best of all The privilege of entering O,Leary Hall. While dwelling on the pleasures of 1924, We must mention two figures Who appeared on Senior floorg For Stockbridge and Great Barrington They were pleased to intercede So we took them into our Normal class And pleased they were indeed, For despite the fact they came the last We welcomed them not the least. Now 'tis past the dawning of 1925, And we're just full of longings While our hearts doth throb with sighs, For all the joy and gladness Of two, swift, happy years, Is locked up in our memories And cherished there so dear, To bring fun, jest and laughter Through glim-merings of unshed tears.

Her ever ready smile and carefree attitude quickly won for her many friendsg and we are sure that her lovable nature will brighten her path through life. In addition to all her capabilities Nellie possessed an aptitude as a keen first baseman on our class baseball team and filled that post admirably in the interclass games. MARY BOWLER HOLYOKE, MASS. "Bc us thy presence is, gratcious mul liI,'I1!I.H Mary is one of those rare girls in whom there is a mixture of studious- ness and humor. Her ability and good common sense as well as her willing- ness to help, make her the best friend '25 can have. How spotlessly neat and tidy Mary does manage to keep her much revered person. Admire her We do foiithisg also for her generosity and willingness to respond most graciously to the clarion call and assistance to others. If one. were an artist, he might paint her in delicate hues of pure gold and true blue. HQ?

Bonnie came to us from the Berkshires and we are certainly grateful to them for sending, such a charming representative. Her happy disposition and sunny smile have made her a much sought for companion among her acquaintances. Of her suc- cess we are assured for Bonnie was one of the strong pillars of the class of '25 and it was her business-like ability in managing many of our social affairs that made them such a success. MARY LOUISE CAROLAN "Louie" SPRINGFIELD, MASS. "Her NILIIIP is learning, lzer flonzrzin un- boumlerl. Of all the fetters slze comnzumls the key." Louie is the only contribution Spring- Iield has given to O. L. E.'s class of '25 Wlien it comes to designs for programs, Louie was always a willing worker. Her keen intellect and artistic ability will help her to climb the ladder of success in what ever walk of life She may choose to follow. Although Louie was a day boarder during heir Iirst year at Nor- mal, we were fortunate to have her with us for a portion of her Senior yea1'. and great was the mirth and joy that she spread within our midst. as l l -s aaa - - .SE W il fig I l i r l L 1 aa.

How we welcomed the tin- kle of the bell rung by Mary in some trying period. Many and various were the. devices contrived hy her original mind which aided us greatly during our training course. "Thou arf gnorl, Sweet nmirl, and also thou art clcrcr, Thou :lost noble things, H1011 uimexi lziglz ull fluff long Ami so H1011 will nzulfe life, derlflz, and tlznf wwf forcrcr om' grmul sweet song." ALICE CORCORAN GLENDALE, MASS. "The sclzolar first with hm' book-JL flame with the glory or lzctrrestecl truth." The old saying "Better late then never" was certainly proven to us, for although Alice failed to comet to the "Elms" for her Junior year, the class of '25 was Willing to welcome her to their number. Alice's teaching experience helped us over many a bump, for she was Willing to impart her knowledge to us when a lesson plan was part of our assignment. Without her cheerful help and friendship we would have missed a great deal at the HEIIIISU. .Se MARGARET DEANE 44 !! PITTSFIELD, MASS. "Your roiec' was over soft, gentle and Iozv, An cgt'c'c'IIv21t flllllfj 'in u'0mrm." To do good for others. to make them happy seems to be the generous aim of Margarets life. Her highly develop- ed sense of humor often resulted in an endearing giggle that lightened the gloom of the darkest moment and un- failingly brought an answering: response to the faces of her comrades. The class was not slow to appreciate her musical ability and before long it was her special honor to preside at her chosen instru- ment for all musical festivities. XVP know that these same charming quali- ties will win for her the sincere and lasting admiration of her friends in later life. CATHERINE DOYLE "Katie" WORCESTER, MASS. KKCOllf6'71flI16'lZf is Il pearl of grunt prit-fx" lVe are grateful to VVorcester for many things, but most of all for Cath- rine Doyle. As a mathematician she had few peers. During our Senior year, when cross-word puzzles were at their height they found no greater a devotee than Katie. Her vocabulary was as unlimited as the boundless skies above and Funk and XVagnalls was her firm voucher. May there always he a silver lining in your life and may the future bless you with henehts as rare as you daily give to us by your sinverity and your courage. agiteeeee E We fait gg iiii ' at MARY FINN "Fiinfny" HoLYoKE, MASS. "Laughter lzolrling boil: hor sides." Good natured, forgivable Mary, her frank, open countenance, glowing per- Sonality and happy disposition lend cheerfulness to the :iloomiest hour. Her Strange combination of humor, good sportsmanship and excellent scholarship will make her ther "Woman ot' worth". As a rule Mary did not keep the postal employees very busy, nevertheless on certain occasions they were so over- burdened that they were forced to hire assistance. The instigators ol' these occasions found them as much a source of amusement as Mary did. ROSE FINN HOLYOKE, MASS. HCll0P7'f'llI7lCS8 throws sunlight on the paths of life." We look at Rose, her petite form and marvel that one so small can carry all she knows. Rose is one of our Holyoke day scholars whom O. L. E. shall re- gret to lose. She is one of those light- hearted, cheerful girls whom you love to he with and the class of '25 have taken advantage of this fact even though she is not always with us. One thing especially must We compliment her for, her loyalty to her Alma. Mater and her willingness to help in anything that concerns it. They say and we find it to be true "As you are now, so you shall be". So of Rose's life in the future it is unnecessary to prophesy. aygae an dsl? HELEN FITZGERALD HOLYOKE, MASS. "Her kind eyes smiling fondly." Numbered among our day scholars was one well beloved by every member of '25, Helen spent her first year as a re.gular at O. L. E. and endeared her- self to everyoneg so it was a great blow to all when in our Senior year Helen decided to commute. A friend with all the, virtues of a friend is Helen, thought- ful, reliable and willing to help others.

Knowing alas that it is not in our poor power to do justice to that great gift, we will pass on to her appreciation and talent in the musi- cal lines, her love and mastery of history ancient. medieval and modern and lastly though not least the art of telling stories well, especially those appealing to child nature and well may we, style her a great soul.

Although wholly unassuming, Peggy showed us her true worth by her daily actions. And if ever we were inclined to doubt the ancient proverb "Actions speak louder than words," we but thought of .Peggy and our misgivings vanished.

"Chfu'iIy, hope, low, f07'yI"l'f'7lE'SS and przIz'f'71cc." Faithful, steady, industrious is Claire. As a spider cleverly spins a web, slowly but thoroughly and perfectly, so Claire performs her daily tasks, the little threads which have, helped to spin her lovable character. C1aire's sense of charity and hidden generosity can not be vied with. Her motto is "A friend in need is a friend indeed." '25 gives Claire a lot of success as a Prima Donna as she has proved a most popular one. LUCY JACOBS PITTSFIELD, MASS. "Fair was she to Ifelmlflf' Behold our fair Lucy, the most allure ing nieniber of the class of '25. Seldom we find a girl who is faithful to her studies and yet always ready to join in our fun. Lucy believes in doing all things from the most insignificant to the mighty, to the best of her ability and has proved 21 valuable asset to O. L. E. XYe rest assured that she will achieve wonders in her future work as a teacher.

Sonie- tiines we think they niust have touched her with the Wand of wisdom and a inere niortal mind belcaine like unto theirs-for Marcella's talents are inany. Marcella's aptitude for writing quaint poetry or letting her fingers wander lightly over the ivories or warbling some sweet inelody, are convincing proofs that her talents are inany and varied. l MARGARET KELLY Klpegif GREAT BARRINGTON, MASS. 1 'To class she always goes prepared, To cut would be a crimeg To joke and fool her noo2z's away, For that she has not time." Margaret was one of the girls from the Berkshires who canie to O. L. E. to complete her course and become pro- ficient in the art of teaching.

Her charming per- sonality has been a source of deep pleasure to the. class of '25. Our one re- gret was that she was not a sharer in the various joys and sorrows ot' "Dorm" life. Mary is a girl Worth knowing and a friend worth knowing. Wfe shall always remember her as a mighty good sport and a true blue girl. She is at- tractive and charming not only in feat- ure but also in her personality which made a deep and pleasing impression on all with whom she came in contact.

Yet this is not all, for Mary is especially interesting when givin: short talks on mell-mls and devices for primary grades. NVe feel, that if these are presented in such an appealing way to the children she teaches, Mary will win all hearts. M552 V il l l 1 l l 1 1 1 .nite GU-' U' """"" AW' ' ' its st?

What an energetic, quick, decisive movement is portrayed in her every step pitter pattering through the corridors, on the campus and in the classroom! Helen uses this energy and whole-hearted loveliness, nevertheless, to a great advantage. She has helped Wonderfully with entertainments, socials and parties of every kind and descrip- tion, and her skill in managing these has been duly recognized by all. Ever shall she be remembered by us all at O. L. E. il ll MARY LYNCH HOLYOKE, MASS. "Thy kindness lays upon our hearts." Simplicity is one of the rare graces. Dame Fortune seems to have beamed upon Mary and endowed her with the grace. of simplicity and the charm of doing ttjust trifles" for others. Ever willing, ever ready, enthusiastic and per- severing in her work we are sure that the, seed sown by her future work in teaching shall reap a fruitful harvest. Mary has not been with us day and night, yet her faithfulness in daily at- tendance proves her loyalty to her Alma Mater and ther class of '2 5. Far has her little candle thrown its beams.

If we look for the weaver of charms we find our "Kay" Nature also find and appreciative afi- mirer in "Kay," for the smallest bud as well as the largest flower were familiar to her.

A "happy go- 1ucky" we might call her, for Marge always seemed to be free from worry and care. No matter where you meet her or when you met her, she always greeted you with a friendly smile. Often while walking through the corridors one could hear a charming ditty coming from Marge's quarters. The class ol' '25 will always feel indebted to Marge, for the capable manner in which she helped to make our Senior party a suc- cess.

Well do we appreciate her for the printing she has contributed for our various social events also her ability as an athlete in helping the Normalites to Win the memorable base-ball game in our Junior year. With these requis- ites and many others which coordinate in perfect harmony we are assured she shall shine as an intellectual genius in her professional sphere. qw - M we Us MARION SHEA HoLYoKE, MASS.

Yet how she does manage to be- come so serious during mathematics. What an attraction it holds t'or her mental comprehensions. We are assured of Marion's success as a teacher for the heyday of her fame is predicted by her manners and pleas- ing personality and the class of '25 hopes to witness such a hoped for climax.

She loved fun too, and was capable of directing little dances as we know from experience. For who was it but Dodo who transfornied the dignified Seniors into little girls when she wanted characters for "The Little Red School House" Dance.

"And this is lf7I0It'ICtI.IjC.U I-Iail our geometric marvel! Be it cones, or prisms Mae triumps ever. With friend Goldsmith "she stoops to conquer." In some future, year, per- haps one of her classmates will hear her in concert as a competitor of Kreisler and shey will not be surprised for Mae's progress with her violin has been a source of interest to her classmates. Although Mary has not been Z1 mem- ber of Olll' class for the entire high school course, she has surely added to the joy and happiness of our members. ELIZABETH DUGGAN "Duggz'e" SPRINGFIELD, MASS. "lf is u fl'l't'lIfIIjj Izeurt that has plenty of frz'ends." Perhaps. on some future occasion a member of the class in her perusal of this manual comes to the name of Duggan, she will pauseg and pausing she will smile, for who could think of "Duggie" and her pranks without do- ing so. Always will she be remembered by her wit and her "off days". Elizabeth has been a great inspira- tion to her classmates and we hope, people will recognize her as such, in the wide, wide, world. VVe also hope she will make friends as easily in the future, as she has at O. L. E. as so as so W- W ,fe 4332 we eff- as ee ees R -na CATHERINE GILRAIN f "GiIly" WORCESTER, MASS. "Smooth runs the zvnfvr zvlzere the brook is deep." The quietest and yet how we will miss her. VVill the Senior classroom be the Senior classroom without her presence? The hazel eyes radiate good fellowship while how often her more demure spirit quieted the higher ones of her carefree classmates. Yes, in- deed, we shall miss her! Another ex- ample ol' "Still water runs deep" for very few Storms have ruffled the Smooth surface of her school life. OLIVE GOTTLIEB SPRINGFIELD, MASS. "A moflzcfs pride, a faitlzefs joy." Olive, who does not know Olive, who has graced the exterior of our Academy for five long years. Of medium height, somewhat graceful figure, happy-go- lucky spirit and there you have her. Olive certainly knows how to dance herself into many hearts with agility and grace. Her week ends have been many and company, too, claimed her for a time, but taken on a whole, she is a jolly good classmate. ma im 47' ' H 'q""4i'gfffS,-d17'1,, Mg yi? MARY HANSBERRY WEST SPRINGFIELD, MASS. "I carrc for noborlgf, no not I, If no om- cures for mc." We were just about to embark upon the Senior lap of our journey when our beloved school mate Mary, changed her course of living from Chicopee. to West Springfield. Mary has been one of our artists for the last three years and it is to her we owe many of our decorations and post- ers. In all our public entertainments, Mary has always been interested and showed the best of spirit. Although Mary is somewhat indepen- dent, she never allows us to interfere with her social activities and We hope she will continue to remain so in the future years. ANITA KEEFE "Neet" PAWTUCKET, R. I- "Sl1e is 1Jl'l'ff.If to walk zvitlz, and zcitty to trrllc w1'tl1,, and plvfzsmzt, too, to tlzinlf on." There is no one in our four years of high school who has created more laughs than "Neet". XVQ all know' when she is about for we hear in the dim distance "O be yourself". Neet, you must know, was heart and soul bound up in music and was always found accompanied by her mandolin, until alas! we must Stop here. Why? Ask Neet. If while strolling around the campus you should happen upon a group of girls exploding with laughter, inquire. not into the cause. "Neet" is merely unfolding the tale of her latest exploit. ad.. is as -- .... . MARY LANDERS SPRINGFIELD, MASS. UBIIlSllZ'lljl is ilu' color of l'l.Vf'lll'.n Do we know Mary Landers? VVell I should say We do. Her generosity and her profuse blushes are two of her most common characteristics. Ever since the last half of our freshman year Mary has brightened O. L. E. with her sunny presence. We are quite sure that Mary will be very successful in her chosen profess- ion, nursing. GRACE MCGRATH SPRINGFIELD, MASS. "Slzyness was 1ze'er thy blanzcf' Mild as the summer skies, and yet a finely molded character. Grace's friendly smile has more than once brought che.er into the hearts of her somewhat troubl- ed classmates. If perhaps on some future journey to New York some, one of Grace's class- 1113195 should visit the AI't Museum, and See there one of her masterpieces, we feel she will not be surprised, for Grace has already developed an amaz- ing ability for painting. We sincerely hope that through years to come her friendly and winsome man- ner may win for her as many friends in the future as it has in the past. an-,fi f W N'-'S rin 'Wi .,,,, -,i1e.u.e - e :REQ ANTONIA PEZZE KKT0nyl! CHICOPEE, MASS. "The c0'imso'n glow of 7Il0flCSf-If o'er sprcarls her cheek." Antonia who is known to be the most dignifled of Seniors, is renowned for her position as postniistress. Through all her four years of high school Antonia has been a 11106191 stu- dent. We hope that she will persevere in the future as she has in the past. Herefs hoping, Antonia, you will for- give but not forget your old classmates who wish you the best of luck for the future. ELEANOR SEARS "Small of size, but of grant a.bz'lity1." "Always studious, always good, you could'nt forget her if you would". We are sure that Eleanor will not forget her old friend Virgil but alas Virgil passes on to other hands while Eleanor goes on forever. We can easily imztine Eleanor a successful teacher, as per- severance is nunibered among her other virtues. Her optimistic view of things has often enlightened our dark hours of exams and other such hoary events. VVe wish her every success in her future career. are 1 A V l I l i l l 9 l l I Q -an gi?

When Silence reigns Lillian is not around. A jolly good campanion, a friend indeed, who could forget her. We hope Lillian, that during your southern sojourn next winter you will not add any avidupois to your now well balanced weight as you have so often feared. However Lillian, this last year we have had the pleasure of having a jolly little Senior added to our group. MARY ROSE SULLIVAN "Rosie" MITTINEAGUE, MASS. "As prom' to mischief as able to per- form it." Ah! How names deceive. Demure she seems, but mischievous she is, dur- ing all her four years spent under the guiding influence, of Our Lady of the Elms the only fault we can Iind with her is this one never knows whether She is at any time immersed in the most frivolous exploits or most devotional of actions. Mary Rose has the happy fac- ulty of hiding her expression under an inscrutable mask. Beware old world! If you see an innocent eyed cherub ap- proaching you, profit by our experience and be on your guard for mischief. E2-aiilglslga one S 'e A fl'i 4W'LW'-"' 44?

We're among the greatest scholars you read about today, For we always do our best and try to give fair play. Now there's Tooty Burke and Neeta Keefe who took the state exams, They thought they'd earn their living without the marriage bans. Then there's Mary L. and Catherine G. the typists of the school, They always work steadily and never break ap rule. Then theres Tonia and Eleanor the bright lights of our class, They always do their best the others to surpass.

Now there's Mary Rose and Duggy too, the children of our class, Who always act as though they were full of laughing gas.

Now Juniors dear, please listen here, while we dutifully advise, And if you wish to persevere and always be thought wise Just listen to your teacher's words and always her obey, Because to gain in knowledge thats the only way.

A continual battle was waged, not only between competing teams, but also by the opposing cheering squads. The contest was an exciting one and the crowd was held at the highest tension because of the well-matched ability of players on both teams. After a strenuous struggle by contending parties, the game ended in favor of Normalites. A surprise was held in store for the victorious teams, when somewhat cooled after their lab- orious contest each member was presented by our honorable referee, Right Reverend Bishop Thomas M. O'Leary, with a set of silver cufflinks. Thus ended the first of many perfect days to follow. 9999663116 ALUMNAE WHIST PARTY On Columbus Day the Alumnae entertained with a Whist Party. Friends of both Alumnae and students were present and prizes were offered as an incentive to more energetic playing among various groups. After an enjoyable evening at cards and participation in dainty refreshments, the guests departed for their respective cities and the girls withdrew to their rooms to discuss the events of the en- joyable night. HALLOWEEN PARTY "And the goblins will get you if you don't watch out". Initia- tion! What awe and terror this word instilled into the hearts of the timid Juniors. Big and little all alike lost a few degrees of their robust complexion as well as a few pounds of avoirdupois. Fantastic signs, posters and weird notes under pillows indicated that the "Reign of Terror" had once more returned to persecute the innocent Juniors. The terrors of Ichabod Crane on his hair- raising ride across the bridge accompanied by the headless horse- man were mere trifles compared to the mental anguish endured by the girls. The gloomy veil that had enveloped us was at first lifted by the unique appearance of the dining hallg and in the delightful supper which followed, the evil forebodings were temporarily averted. Then too the jolly minstrel makers as cleverly costumed, as they were with songs and jokes, were an other favorable omen. But alas! the curtain had fallen and our misfortune had begun. It is the unwritten law that no Junior shall ever mention the harrowing experiences endured that memorable night. But our one consola- tion was that we too as Seniors would one day be the cruel per- secutors. 62 .552 3'-QQFTTH D T95 Sea.. ST. PATRICICS DAY , March 17th along with its dreams of old Erin prompted us to celebrate the day with anovel luncheon. The highly cultivated aesthetic sense of the Irish was portrayed by the atmosphere of harmony which pervaded the interior of the dining hall. The color scheme was cleverly carried out to the minutest detailg even the delectables were served in those refreshing colors for which the Emerald Isle has always been famous. We then proceeded to College Hall where new joys awaited us. Here the hall echoed and re-echoed with sweet strains of "Come Back to Erin, Mavourneen" and we were carried back in spirit to dear Erin. The fair colleens and lads with their high silk hats entertained us pleasantly for the evening. SENIOR DAY "The Seniors are now quite the thing tra-la. The Seniors are now quite the thing". What a wealth and enthusiasm spurred the Juniors on to make Memorial Day a real memorable one in the hearts of the Seniors. No pagoda in the Orient could be compared to the interior of the Casino which presented an attractive Japanese scene. The lanterns shed their faint glow through lattice work inter- woven With lavender hues of delicate Wistaria. A sumptuous ban- quet was served. Between the various courses songs were sung and toasts given to the graduating class. Then according to the custom of preceding years, the following program was rendered by the Junior class.

HALLOWEEN PARTY l924 "Tempus Fugit". Time flies, so they say, and so We believe for here it is a year from the day which instilled such awe and 'terror into timid Junior hearts. The poor persecuted have at last reached the stage to enjoy being the tormenting persecutors. Every device of the crafty Ulysses was employed to terrify our successors in a program in such a manner as to cause the Juniors to forget the penalties which were in store for them later. A process of blindfolding constituted the preliminary step and a lone journey accompanied only by the persecutor and then 'FM-? -'tw ! M The outcome and grand finale alas will ever remain a reminicent secret to those who know. Sea. .ai 64 as 'hifi Seal Qlulnnial 'fllllimitrel lTwas the eighteenth day of February 1925 When a few old-fashioned customs We thought to minstrelizeg So we set the date While a chorus we did choose To fashion this quaint, quaint fete And our talents great to prove. Just a few old-fashioned ballads of our great grandfather's time Mellowed with songs of darkies To make our play extra fineg Two charming little maidens did the waltz of long ago In the ancient colonial manner Of the long ago belle and beau. 'Twas just a grand success that little minstrel play For Father Time to write And place in memory's way As fun we had galore When at practice We did try To mimic those dainty damsels Of the sixties and eighty iives. Immediately afterward a pretty little tea Was given in our dining hall To toast our honored three Guests they were and honored Bishop and Fathers two Who came from far to see us Put this quaint old Minstrel through. How the time has fled! How you've With all your song and play Only to live in dreamlands sway Just think about it sometimes With all its gala and scenes And you'll sure enjoy it Like nature's merry sunbeams. flown O days M.
