Upward till we reach the pinnacle our
steps ascend. Slowly the class of l946 has
climbed the stairs of success, and now it
lingers on the first achieved landing.
Quietly in retrospect our minds reflect on
priceless lessons learned, while our hearts
rejoice in the magic memories of four col-
lege years. Pausing in our flight we stand
strong in the pride of youth.
A heavy mist of peace enshrouds the
stairway that our eager feet have just
passed over. At the top stretch noble
heights of destiny. Momentarily searching
back we revel in the beauty of the pattern
-knowledge, faith, and conviction woven
with Catholic principles-and with firm
hearts lift our eyes to the future.

The last steps in our college path
bring us to a glorious victory as
graduates of l946. With deep appre-
ciation We turn to you, Reverend
Bishop, through Whose kindness and
model guidance We have attained our
end. Realizing the trend of the World,
We are prepared to face its problems
with Catholic ideals as our bulwarlc.
Too often the blossoms of victory are
cut off from their life-giving blood. The
fruits of our education will not rot or
wither. Rather do We promise that they
will flower magnificently, augmented
by our life-giving faith. lt is a symbol
of our loyalty that We gratefully dedi-
cate these pages to you, Reverend
Bishop, for to valor We pledge faith
and to faith We pledge truth.

Caught in a web ot majestic archi-
tecture, We have passed through
glorious college days on our campus,
'Neath the murmur ot elm trees and
the echo of marble halls our fond tare-
Wells are Whispered. A golden chain
ot friendships is linked to this earth We
dearly love. Every step in brown
spring soil leaves an imprint on our
hearts. Through these realms We have
climbed heavenward-to these realms
our loyalty We pledge.

TH jacultq,
Over the pitfalls of indecision to the
soaring heights of success We have
come. For every new born hope a
wealth of encouragement lay at our
feet. Each trivial dream gained impor-
tance and became a reality with the
kindly understanding of our faculty.
lt is to you, then, that we dedicate a
special "thank you." May you find a
partial recompense in our present vic-
tory and future good faith.

IUNIOR MISS
Prom bewildering Freshman days, leaving sophisticated
Sophomore ways, she stepped forth-a lunior Missl
LADY OF CHARM - Who could forget her, delighted, entranced on the night
of her lunior Prom as she danced 'mid the soft shadows at the foot of the
rainbow? . . .
EAGER AND POISED f With a newly-won self-assurance she discovered
enjoyment in debating. Holy Cross, State Teachers, Saint loseph - names
like these offered a challenge that she confidently answered ....
GAY, DISARMING- She found herself in a whirl of happy, carefree chatterg
of bright, sparkling smiles on the afternoon of the tea dance in the lounge
in OLeary Hall ....
GLOWING WITH PRlDE - Delightedly she welcomed her Dad to the campus
of O. L. E. on Father-Daughter Day. Proudly she introduced him to her
classmates and friends. Proudly, too, she showed him the favorite corners
of her college campus which he had heard of so very often. lt was her
chance to say, l'Thanks, Dadl" for all these and more. . . .
ENTHUSIASTIC, CO-OPERATIVE - What fun she had doing her part to help
to make the Bazaar the success that it was. The Freshmen sold the "cokes",
the Sophomores displayed a tempting array of pastry Cwhich quickly
disappearedl, the Seniors brought out their pet White Elephant, and the
luniors opened a model Cthough not modernl Little Red Schoolhouse where
they bartered their school supplies. The gym rang that afternoon and
lunior Miss was very much Hon the ball" working with Frosh, Soph, and
Senior for G. L. E ....
l85l
THRILLED WITH HAPPINESS - Why? Because she was the favored one who
made a long, long dream come true. The first copy of the ELMSCRIPT,
0. L. Efs very own campus news, will hold a privileged place in her
scrapbook of never-to-be-forgotten college memories ....
HIAUNTY IUNIORH - Yes, Easter and spring saw a new-blooming lunior Miss.
' With a light heart and sparkling eyes she stepped forward to add a bright,
cheery note to the passing parade ,..,
LOVING, SINCERE-Like every other Elmite she had looked forward to the
second Saturday in May, her third Mother-Daughter Day. It was a day
to be remembered-the entertainment, the tea, the flowers, all were
tokens of love for Mother ....
LOYAL ELMITE, DEVGTED CHILD OF MARY r- Iunior year she again renewed
her pledge of fealty before Our Lady's court of honor. Together with her
collegemates she passed along "Our Lady's Way" beneath boughs laden
with fragile apple blossoms to the Grotto where Mary stood with arms
outstretched in welcome. That was Marys Day ....
SCARED, BUT DETERMINED-Exams were ever fearful things and Iunior,

SOPHOMORE SESSION
All those things that rnean so much to us are renewed in our memories as We
rezninisce back to the many happy days oi our Sophomore year at O. L. E.
The Hallo:-.'e en party, -that is where our Sophomore history started,-
'.-:hen the Class of A48 presented that gay musical show, where its hidden
talent displayed in an unforgettable manner. The style ot the "Manhattan
fferrg'-Go-Flound 2-:as imitated, and each act was different and so captivating
that a wonderful effect was achieved. After the musical entertainment a party
of cider and dougnnuts vias enjoyed in the gym, highly decorated that evening
in black and orange witches and goblins peeping from every corner. A
'.-.'eQQ-nieritea Three cheers for ine Scpns 1-has echoed by all, as a gala event
carne to an end,
GaQety filed the carnpus on the seventeenth of November, tor the night ot
ine Elniata dance nad finaly' approached, Exciting and pleasant memories oi
a '.-.isning-'.'.'eQQ cornstallis lanterns, and scarecrcivs fill cur rninds as we recall
that clear Eiarvesi-inoonlii evening danced away to the strains of
sofg si-feet niusic, As the clock struck niidnignt, 1-re all took our unwilling
fare':.'eQQs 'xfnlie ine tune of Good-night S'.'.'eetneart'i still echoed in our ears,
Af:.'aQ's snail reniernber that dance the Seniors who made possible
sac: a '.-ronaeriu. eiengna.
The college chapel 'xfas the scene of the Sodality Reception on December
eighth, the feast of the lnirnaculate Conception, The soft blending oi voices in
'Ave fqfarial and On This Day, O Beautiful fffctherii helped to complete a
niost beauaful and stirring ceremony as the :nernbers of the Freshman Class
1-:ere received into the Sodality oi Our Lady. Her snrine was adorned with
lovely White and red roses, and We, the Sodalists ot previous years, renewed
our pledges of constancy and devotedness to Mary, our Mother.

FRESHMAN FROLIC
We are the Class ot '49 ot the College ot Our Lady ot the Elms. To make
ourselves ready tor those meaningful days ot '49, we started with
REGISTRATION.
"They have their exits and their entrances."
SAS You Like It.
lust short of sixty in number, we passed from our high school exits into the
entrances ot the Elms. Fear and trembling mingled with the hope that springs
eternal. There were dreams to be realized, trials and tribulations to be
crowned-may this be propheticl -with success. What better introduction
to our new lite than
THE MASS OE THE HOLY GHOST?
"Prayer ardent opens heaven."
-Edward Young.
And all ot us lived in the happy thought that those prayers and a cascade
ot succeeding ones would be the guiding light to aid us in our scholastic
achievements throughout our college year. And then
INITIATION WEEK.
"Take each mans censure, but reserve thy judgment."
-Hamlet.
Who said it was easy? "Crazy", we thought, and how hard it was from
day to day to reserve our judgmentl But we reserved it, didn't We? Or you'll
never know it we didn't. And this was followed by
ELIVIS NIGHT.
"All is well that ends well."
-Heywood.

H001
Oh joyl Oh laughterl lt's all overl And no ones hurtl Sensibilities, perhaps,
and temperaments, maybel but we came through it. And were still here,
ready for the
RETREAT. "True beauty dwells in deep retreats."
-Vxfordsxvortli.
For three days we laid aside those things which constitute our ordinary
school course and our thoughts dwelt profoundly on a clear examination of
our conscience and our duties to our Creator. Oh, for the
IUNIOR TEAl
"VV'liat would tlie world do witliout tea?"
-Sidney Smith.
On that gorgeous Sunday afternoon, in October, our "sister class"-the
luniors-arranged a tea party for us at the Wayside Inn. We more than
enjoyed ourselves, and even though you didn't care for tea, it was the fellow-
ship, the comradeship, the hospitality, the open-heartedness-those are the
things We treasured, tea or no tea. And then
CAP AND GOWN SUNDAY.
i'Slzall come appareled in more precious habit."
-Much Ado About Nothing.
How impressive they were, those learned
Seniorsl Will We ever be like them? What
do you think?
May God bless and guide their future lives
and shower them with much happiness.

ln the path at work there are
diversions suited for all. The
span at our college year was
made short by extra-curricular
activities. The joy of those mo-
ments has been captured in
flight, and live once again on
these pages. For the Class of '46
they are a lasting remembrance.

Keeping postedl
The bulletin board ot the Sodality conducted by the Eucharistic Committee
attained a new height in excellence during this past year. Every day some
signiticant item concerning religion or some topic vital to the Sodalists of
0. L, E. was graphically presented, The board was truly a Work of Catholic
Action and our gratitude for very splendid aid is directed to Eveline Breault.
l-ler taithtul contributions to the printed voice ot the Sodality and her untiring
zeal in sponsoring its artistic upkeep evoke praise and appreciation from every
Sodalist ot the Elms,

Claire, F. Boratyn, and Mike, the Mission supporters
The Society of the Propagation of the Faith found an able and energetic
promoter for the Elms in Marie Senecal. ln the history of the Sodality here at
the college never was such a successful year experienced by the Mission
Committee. The mission priests and sisters in the far-flung centers of religious
endeavor have voiced their sincere appreciation for the material aid which
Marie has secured from the student body. The solicitous and untiring interest
which she has had for the laborers of Christ in fields afar has obtained its
remuneration in considerable financial sums for our many Catholic mis-
sionaries.
Every study hall and dormitory found itself with a "stamp box". The
dispatch of stamps to the foreign missions was as great as the income of mail
to us here at the college - and that was pretty largel Good work, Mariel

Betty discusses a best seller
The lounge of OiLeary Hall was the scene of many entertaining and bene-
ficial gatherings during this past year. Under the well-chosen supervision ot
Elizabeth Sullivan various members of the Literary Club ot the Sodality
presented reviews ot modern literature. Reviews and criticisms were com-
pletely and tairly given so that the audience might well appreciate the high-
lights and disadvantages ot a book, Among the particular books reviewed
were ' Brideshead Revisited", i'Behold Your Kingm, 'The World, the Flesh, and
Father Smithf and No Greater Love -the Story ot Our Soldiers".
The importance of the public support ot Catholics for Catholic literature is
one ot the maxims of this literary circle. The ability to appreciate good
literature and avoid the evil and damaging are two of the main benefits
that one acquires from attendance at a Literary Club meeting on the campus
ot O. Li E.

Easter Ball Committee
'lfloonlight and Roses" was the predominant theme of the Sodality's spec-
tacular social event of the l945-46 season-HThe Easter Ball", Under the
dynamic direction of Patricia Brophy as chairman, the highlight of the Sodality's
social calendar was acclaimed as a huge success. May fourth was the all-
eventful day. The day was warm and sunny -truly it was a day of sun and
roses 4 later to evolve into a night of moonlight and roses. We danced away
four heavenly hours to the sentimental strains of Iohnny Newton and his
orchestra. With 'The Easter Ball" a tradition has been established which
promises to be a much-anticipated function on the campus of O. L. E.
lCome one, come all to the bazaar." A gay afternoon on March twenty-
ninth was had by all in the gym, Brightly-decorated booths, tricky trinkets,
delicious dainties, and melodic music were offered to all for a very small sum.
Holy Cross, Harvard, and Yale banners also found their way into the market
place and how that money rolled inl

A new and vital activity was introduced to the sphere ot Sodalistic activities
this year. Claire Geddes organized the Interracial Club and under her direction
its tirst year ot existence attained amazing success and popularity. Every
month the lounge in O'Leary Hall was the scene ot discussions. Various topics
Were taken up as the brotherhood ot man, the Catholic attitude toward Negro
Foundations, and the work ot "Friendship I-louse". The Interracial Club at-
tended a lecture in March by Walter White, who discussed "Color and the
World Fight tor Freedom". Considering this year's success, the Club will
continue in popularity.

In the beautiful month of May, the month of Qur Lady, an inspiring tribute
is paid to Qur Queen. Amid the fragrance of fresh blossoms and the caroling
of Sodalists the statue of Mary is crowned by the prefect of our Sodality. The
beauty of young girls adorned in evening gowns reflects a part of the special
homage.
The ceremony is begun as the procession leaves the Administration building
and winds its way to the grotto of Qur Lady. As hymns float heavenward
'neath the mantle of blue sky, Mary's blessing descends on each light heart.
At the grotto the court assists in the crowning, and each Senior pays a special
act of love in the offering of a rose. The gay festivity of the day is marked

Annie prepares gifts for the little ones
Nothing could be more praiseworthy and charitable than to bring a portion
of joy and cheer into an unfortunate child's life. Such was the laudable task
of the members of the "Little Sister Committee" of Our Lady's Sodality here
at the college Annette Stanton's kind and thoughtful planning arranged reg-
ular trips to Mount Saint Vincent, where our girls devoted many afternoons
to the entertaining of the little orphan girls. Numerous boxes were sent last
Christmas by girls to their "little sisters" at the home directed by the Sisters
of Providence. The appreciation of the little ones for our small acts of kindness
is overwhelming. What a great work of charity this, and how great will the
reward be in heaven of such charitable gesturesl We have divine assurance
that "whatsoever is done unto the least of these" is done unto Christ.

The newly-organized function of the Sodality, the Study Club, is one of the
most informal clubs found on the campus. lts meeting place is any locality
where its members can recline with ease and comfort- conditions most con-
ducive to fertile conversationl Its topics include every possible problem that
might Wend its Way into this, our life. Many modern controversial subjects
were freely and fairly discussed at these informal gatherings. The correct
Catholic advice always abided at these meetings and the present-day dangers
to morality were discussed.
The Club has accomplished untold good during the past academic year.
It has been accomplishing and promoting Catholic Action and preparing Cath-
olic women Workers for a world that needs them badly. The l-loly Father has
always emphasized the great need for such organizations. The Sodality has
heeded his advice.

The objective of the M. 1. B. Debating Society is the attainment of skill
in formal argument. At its monthly meetings the members have an opportunity
to discuss a question logically in informal sessions. ln this way poise and
assurance are acquired, points for improvement of delivery are noted, a good
background in current topics gathered - in short, the meetings are the training
school. Then in actual interclass and intercollegiate contests what has been
learned is put into practice.
1946 saw still more laurels gathered for the M. 1. B. Debating Society. Van-
quishing Worthy opponents, the Club enjoyed a most successful season-
building a reputation for itself and the college.

Theater-goers of the l945-46 season acclaimed the production of the Verdeoro
Players as stellar performances. ln the lovely Veritas Auditorium unusually
talented actresses stepped before the footlights interpreting roles with the skill
of professionals. Clever settings and costuming combined with fine charac-
terization to keep the audiences spellbound until the brightening of the house
lights marked the end of the presentation.
ln November the dramatic spotlight focused on the star-studded cast of the
perennial favorite, "lane Eyre". Skillful character portrayal caught exactly
the right atmosphere for the staging of the eerie tale. The house was deathly
still. Critics were generous with their praise, and justly so.
The Dramatic and Glee Clubs presented their combined Christmas program
in December. The age-old tableau of Bethlehem was presented in the marble
rotunda with traditional hymns and glorias descending on the scene from the
balcony above. V
"Thy Will Be Done" Was the Lenten selection of the Verdeoro Players. The
solemnity of the Passiontide offered an excellent background for its presenta-
tion. The story of the soldier who nailed the Savior to the Cross and the son
of the l-ligh Priest, Caiphas, was masterfully enacted.

Harmonious voices, pastel-colored gowns, beautiful melodies-all com-
bined to make the spring concert a proof of the words "Music hath charms".
This program was colorful and varied. lt included a choral arrangement of
Negro ditties, a few Gilbert and Sullivan airs, a group of religious hymns, a
medley of songs from the modern musicals, and other miscellaneous selec-
tions.
But this Was only one of the many delightful entertainments presented by
this very active and popular club. The traditional Christmas carol program
was performed not only for the enjoyment of the college students, but also
for civic organizations in the neighboring cities and over the air through
station VVMAS.
The A Cappella Choir provided a solemn, liturgical background for all
dignified academic activities. Against the setting of the college chapel the
angelic voices were at their best. Both musical groups blended in with college
life and helped make it more beautiful and gay.

If it is current situations and events which have such a fascinating appeal
in your life, the International Relations Club is your goal. The big event for
the year for I. R. C. followers during the past year was the three-day confer
ence at Mount St. Mary's College in Hookset, New Hampshire. All prominent
Catholic and secular colleges were represented - the latter through Newman
Club mernbers-at this peace federation. It was the long-awaited moment
for Elms' rooters to present their opinions on current international affairs. The
guest of honor was the Honorable loseph P. Kennedy, former ambassador to
Great Britain, who spoke on the Catholic contribution to World events. The
main theme Was the "Catholic solution to present global problems".
The Elrnites very capably conducted a panel discussionwaccording to
parliamentary form-on "United States and ideological conflicts". The mae
terial was thoroughly understood and well handled.
During this Week-end sojourn, the social side was not neglected. All were
royally feted at dinners and dances, The whole program was fittingly brought
to an end by solemn benediction in the college chapel. The trip proved to be
a splendid success and was representative of the type of Work carried on by
this up-to-the-minute Club sponsored by the history department.

As Spain figured prominently in the international situation during the past
year, so "La Corte Castellanau was an important activity on our campus during
the past school year. Last September, amid the charming atmosphere of
gleaming silver, lovely china, and delicious dainties, the members of the
club were introduced to Senorita Nieves Alfaro de Fournier at a tea in her
honor. With all the appeal of her cadent tongue and Spanish charm, Senorita
Alfaro enlightened the Spanish students on Spanish culture and life. For a few
fleeting hours we had a bit of Spain with us . . . truly it is a land of mystery
and black-eyed senoritas.
The strains of Iesu Bambino and "Venid Pastores" floated o'er the rotunda
out into the night as "La Corte Castellanan made its contribution to the annual
Christmas party held here on the campus. The dulcet melodious intonations
of the Spanish carols cast a spell over all and brought everyone back in spirit
to the first Christmas night.
Isabel Morales, at a meeting of "La Corte Castellanan this year, spoke to
the students concerning the social, political, and economic status of present-
day Puerto Rico.

With the martial measures of Chopin's Polonaise and the soothing strains
of Debussy's Reverie still reverberating in our ears, it is easy for us to
reminisce and to conjure up in a series of vivid flashes a unified idea of the
activities of "Le Cercle Francais" for this year.
The aim of the club is to instill in each member a deep-rooted, far-reaching
knowledge, understanding, and love for the language, ideals, customs, and
culture of "la douce France". This was achieved by the open-forum discussions
of popular French musicians and painters, by travelogues, by the presentation
of original one-act plays, and by daily conversations at the French table. The
'Chuchotements des Ormesn - official organ of the club - was eagerly
awaited and avidly perused each rnonth.
Highlights of the year were the Christmas program and tea, the meetings
of the Alliance Francaise Where We heard distinguished personalities as Mme.
Mackee and Professor Andre Morize, and the final social coffee hour. lt was
a very successful and beneficial year for French enthusiasts.

During this year of activity, the Science Club went a long way towards
accomplishing its end, namely, the presentation of scientific facts in an inter-
esting and comprehensive manner.
Because of the growing interest in photography both as a scientific project
and ot pleasant pastime, the trend of thought for the year was focused along
that line. A photography laboratory for the use of the science students was
established, and instructive lectures on the proper methods of technique for
developing and enlarging were given at the earlier meetings of the year.
At other lectures the technicalities and chemical applications were discussed
with the aid of specially-chosen slides.
In March the members of the Science Club were guests of the New England
Association of Chemists at their annual meeting which was held at the college.
What is lacking in number is counter-balanced by spirit and this club
proposes to continue in the future to aid those interested in scientific work.
To those who will follow us we leave a society richly endowed with student
loyalty, beneficial scientific accomplishment, and unlimited opportunities in
the modern scientific world.

The name "Social Action" epitomizes very aptly the underlying purpose of
the Social Action Club, Only senior philosophy devotees are allowed mem-
bership in this exclusive organization where outstanding social problems of
the day are discussed.
Monthly meetings were held under the benevolent auspices of "Pere Shea"
At these informal gatherings the main topics under consideration were capital
and labor, socialized medicine, compulsory military training, and the ethics
of the use of the atomic bomb. A special program was arranged for the feast
of St. Thomas Aquinas, patron of all students, and in particular of philosophers.
During this assembly his life and work were discussed in relation to our own
philosophical studies,
ln interpreting modern problems, each girl prided herself on her ability
to present her point of view in precise, syllogistic form. To speak clearly,
to think correctly, to argue logically, these were the unflinching standards
whereby we set our goal- -an adeauate preparation for upholding the
Catholic ideal in the future.

The day of renown arrived in splendor-the day when We as Seniors
donned the noble cap and gown. Our realization was as great as the antici-
pation that had been growing for three years. On October 28, 1945, We
received the garb of academic scholars. Our joy was boundless - our thanks
were endless. To those who aided us and those who rejoiced with us We
give a special place in our memories.
Excerpt from the sermon delivered by Reverend Peter Dolin, on
Cap and Gown Sunday
It is not without significance that the ceremony for which we have assembled
here should have been arranged for the Feast of Christ the King. This college
is a tribute to the diocese of Springfield. These halls of learning are sturdy
and permanent witnesses to truth. They were builded in sacrifice and gener-
osity that truth might be taught to you and to the succeeding generations of
the diocese of Springfield and to those daughters of the Church from other
sections who are in quest of true education.

Publication of the Elmata every year at the College of Our Lady of the
Elms has become a treasured tradition. Generally, a beautiful thing is a costly
thing and in keeping with this the Senior Class, with all the undaunted spirit
and renewed vigor that only a newly-won peace can arouse, under the capa-
ble and enthusiastic loyalty of its chosen leader, Lois I. Boland, and her com-
mittee, gave to the Elms its opening dance of the college year. Truly the mar-
ble halls resounded that night with "mirth and cheer." The harvest moon,
rustling leaves, and soft music whispered not only happiness but success to a
very important undertaking. The Senior-Alumnae basketball game and dance
which followed a little later on in the season proved none the less successful.
The splendor of the marble stairways, because of their architectural design,
has captivated us. To use these stairways for the theme of our yearbook
seemed to us a most fitting manner in which to convey all that we wanted to
express.

A year ago, here on the college campus, the already familiar sound of
Tourmaline took on a new meaning, as we found it heralding the first
edition of an outstanding collegiate magazine. This year, under the capable
and versatile direction of Alice Murray, Editor-in-Chief, and her staff, the
faltering steps of infancy were banished and the Tourmaline was promised
a place of prominence among the other leading college publications.
lntroducing a newly-adopted policy, the winter issue featured a guest
article written by an acknowledged master of the pen who willingly gave
of his time and talent. "Lady of the Trinity", inspired by the poetic genius of
the poet, Eddie Doherty, a prominent member of the editorial staff of the
Chicago Sun, graced the pages of this issue.
Prominent among the Tourmaline poets this year were Avis O'Donnell
and Elizabeth Sullivan of the Seniors, whose inspiring verses are a credit
to their poetic talents. From the underclassmen, Mary McManus, Theresa
Amiot, Geraldine McCarthy, Claire Fitzgerald, and Eleanor Langton, came
contributions also.

The year l946 found peace and contentment burying deeply the only too-
recerit sound of guns and shells. Was it not only right, then, that out of this
chaos something new and beautiful should be born. All over the world the
newness of peace was breaking forth-and so it was on our campus, too,
when in April the first issue of our college newspaper, the Elmscript, made
its debut. Cries of "Have you seen . . . " "lt's here" echoed forth from the
marble halls as each enthusiastic student received her copy. Years of plan-
ning and dreaming had at last materialized.
To actually see in print the fulfillment of a dream is a joy experienced only
by those who have worked tirelessly and endlessly for such an accomplishment.
To the editor of the Elmscript, to her staff, and to all who so generously gave
of their time and effort, we, of the Senior Class, say, "Well done". May your
first issue of this paper ever be to you a shining light to lead you on. To know
that you have endeavored to spread her fame proves the worth of her guiding
influence. May the Elmscript ever grow in publication, popularity, and
prominence.

TREE ORATION
The world of tomorrow rightfully looks for help in the solution of its problems
to those of us who are being graduated from the College of Our Lady of the
Elms this commencement season.
Never before in the history of man have we been so strongly convinced
that we do not live for ourselves alone. Throughout the entire world there
is suffering, destitution, and poverty unparalleled in the record of man. Those
people, whose senses have been dulled and stupefied, whose emotions have
been torn and stretched to the point of complete unbalance, are the people
with whom we are going to meet and to mingle to form a new world. These
distorted minds look to us for leadership. We have been thrown the torchl
l-low fortunate we, the Senior Class of l946, are to have had four years in the
blessed sanctuary of the College of Our Lady of the Elms.
Our technical education has been enriched by the spiritual. We have
acquired not only the enlargement of knowledge, such as we will need to face
the future, but we have received a spiritual balance under the Divine guidance
of God through our devoted teachers.
lust as our tree which we have now planted spreads its roots for the
nourishment and food to sustain it and lifts its arms to God for eguanimity
to balance it, so, too, have we drawn from the rich, wholesome storehouses
of our Alma Mater and grown and developed in spiritual and mental knowl-
edge.
Let us, the Senior Class of Forty-six, promise each other as we go forward,
never to forget the Catholic ideals of Our Lady of the Elms. ln this manner
the world may be assured of our leadership and whole-hearted co-operation
in restoring peace on earth to all mankind,

Some of the history makers
When the history of the Class of 1945 comes to be recorded in the annals
of our college, there will be one word more outstanding than all others
Written-a word which might Well be considered the keynote of the Senior
Class of '46, The mere saying "farewell" is synonymous with the saying of
"Senior", for though we graduates were oft reticent to admit this truth, with
each lovely happening of this past year we were actually whispering good-
bye to our Alma Mater,
Since fresh Septembereand almost without our knowing-the tall,
graceful letters of our parting expression have slipped silently into place.
Fulfilling our fondest and rnost expectant dreams, they imply far more than
a Seniors adieu, Rather do they bear the cherished memories of an unfor-
gettable year - a year which, to our Way of thinking, was "slow in the
coming" but Hquick in the passing".
F-the first important letteremajestic in its height,
recalls the fun and frolic of initiation night!
And frolicsome it was-that memorable Saturday evening when fiction
turned fact and the story-book version of Disneys "Snow White" became a
wholesome realityl Spirited freshmen enacted their roles in a performance
which offers a challenge to prospective Elmites, while direction was ably
undertaken and managed by officious but well-meaning seniors. Yes, this was
the occasion which the graduates had anticipated all during their college
years, it was the moment when we faced the almost incredible but all-Wonder-
ful fact-we were Seniors at lastl
A means simply the aura of prayer
which permeated that autumn air.

How spiritually beautiful retreat-time was and how precious were the hours
of those fleeting October days! Like the traditional calm which comes after
the storm was the reception of this peaceful interlude following the hustle-
bustle activities of September and curriculum readjustment. 'Twas then we
were made wealthy, not in the monetary sense of the word, but rather were
we rich in the treasury of graces and blessings which poured forth in unlim-
ited abundance.
R stands out boldly, recording in red
the rush and rejoicing of great days ahead!
A prosperous future indeed loomed forth with such events as the Elmata
Dance and "lane Eyre" holding prominent places in the college spotlight.
From all corners of the campus issued hearty and well-deserved praise for
a social function which has yet to be equaled and for a dramatic enterprise
which added another feather to the cap of Verdeorol
E reflects the elegance, elation, and renown
which came to us as Seniors in donning cap and gownl
Words scarcely suffice to express the honest sentiments of the graduate
on that October Sunday when the symbolic garb of Senior became officially
her own. As a soldier boasts of his uniform, so did we boast of our academic
dress. Proudly have we worn it, and proud forever shall '45 be of this integral
part of her college wardrobe.
W tells of the wonderful prom
which followed exams-then, too, soon was gonel
Morale builders "par excellence" might well have been the title ascribed
to the luniors after their very spectacular prom which transformed the col-
lege into a galaxy of rainbows and has had us chasing them ever sincel
E reappears in ecstasy clad
evoking remembrance of tribute to Dad.
As someone has so aptly expressed it, St. Patricks Day this year truly was a
red-letter day in green. Fathers and daughters together participated in the
mirth and happiness of one of Sodality's most outstanding and successful
achievements. When March l7th drew to a close, so, too, closed one of the
most cherished chapters in the history of '46
L implies the lovely spring
when the Glee Club raised its voice to sing.
And well was there reason for singing! lt was perfectly evident that our
joyous reaction to the Easter Ball could not be contained in our hearts, and
so it was rendered in song in a concert which astounded the severest music
critics.
L again stresses our love now and ever
for dear Alma Mater which time cannot sever.
There was a time when commencement for us was a dream, but now as
Seniors we are awakened to its honest reality. The word which for so long
was but a shadow in space is now as clear as time can tell-
Our Lady of the Elms . . . we say "Parewell"l

BE IT REMEMBERED that I, Dorothy Mary Callahan, a Senior at the College
of Our Lady of the Elms, in the city of Chicopee and county of Hampden in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but
knowing the uncertainty of life, do make this my LAST WILL AND TESTA-
MENT, hereby revoking all former wills by me at any time heretofore made
FIRST: To our most beloved Bishop and Reverend President, Thomas M,
0'Leary, D.D., we give our eternal gratitude for having enjoyed the privilege
of being students at the College of Our Lady of the Elms. We are not un-
mindful of the many hours of ceaseless toil and worry which our beloved
Bishop spent in establishing this institution of higher learning where Gods
choicest truths are unfolded and our character molded after the blessed
character of the Mother of God. We hereby give to His Excellency our
undying pledge of spiritual remembrance during the natural term of our life.
SECOND: To our beloved Vice-President, Reverend Doctor Iohn R. Rooney,
we give and bequeath the gratitude of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and
Forty-six for his fatherly guidance of all of us at the College of Our Lady of
the Elms, and we hope and pray that he will always experience the choicest
of life's blessings.
THIRD: To Reverend Mother Iohn Berchmans, S.S.l., and the Reverend Sisters
of Saint Ioseph we give our heartfelt thanks for the learning, patience, and
unselfish example extended to us during our four years' stay at the college.
Their life has been the personification of the blessed heart of our dear
Virgin Mother and they alone, of all teachers, can truly sit by the side of
our Blessed Mother and truly impart her lessons.
FOURTH: To our Professor of Religion, Reverend Doctor Ieremiah Sheehan,
esteemed by all the students, we leave our deepest appreciation for his
learning, his unfailing kindness, and his ever-willing spirit to help us out
at any time during our stay here at the College of Our Lady of the Elms.
We shall never forget him . . . we shall always cherish his memory.
FIFTH: To our Professor of Philosophy, Reverend Doctor George Shea, we
give our everlasting appreciation for the many, many hours of scholastic
philosophy so patiently imparted to us. Doctor Shea is a true apostle of
Saint Thomas and we can never repay him for his kindness, his learning,
and his good example.
SIXTH: To the Faculty of this, our college, we leave our appreciation for
the countless hours they have spent with us during these past four years.
Your many acts of thoughtfulness and kindness made many a dark moment
take a lighter hue. The interest you showed on our behalf and the aid you
extended to us on so many different occasions will always be remembered
by us, the Class of '46, with grateful hearts.
SEVENTH: To the Undergraduates of this college we give and bequeath all
the joy and happiness that has been in our hearts and minds during our four
years at O. L. E. Now we are leaving you . . . the time has gone by so
quickly . . . our departure is drawing nigh. In our farewell we leave to you,
the underclassmen of O. L. E., the charge to nurture the ideals set before you,
to make the most of each moment of every day, for they will slide quickly
by. Inculcate in your hearts the principles of Catholic womanhood and be
true to Our Lady of the Elms. This is the charge we leave to you.

Dorothy Mary Callahan, Class Attorney
Cfdifff 08100,
lnto the golden past of yesterday
Have slipped the carefree days we loved so well.
lt is with deep regret and heavy hearts
That from our lips must fall this sad farewell.
We've cherished our four years within these halls.
Learning, friendship, truth we found were ours,
But quickly did the days swell into years.
The time proved short when filled with happy hours.
Clothed in our new-found knowledge, bold we stand
With hopes undaunted and with hearts so true M
A challenge to a newly-conquered world.
O Alma Mater, we'll keep faith with you!

CLASS PROPHECY
lt is a Saturday afternoon in Iune, 1956. The sky is a bright, clear blue
and not a cloud is to be seen anywhere. All nature is bursting with joy as
the warm rays of a golden sun beam down upon it. The air is calm and
peaceful- no noise pierces the stillness.
Suddenly the trees, whose leaves had not stirred all day, begin to wave
back and forth in a strong wind which seems to have arisen from nowhere
But, it hasn't. Here is the cause now - Kay Quinn's new ROCKET, designed
by Bertha Stone, foremost designer in the world. Bertha's ideas are so far
advanced, and change so often, that the older airplane companies haven't
been able to keep up with her. She has had to form a company of her own.
Kay, who has always been on the lookout for better and faster means of
transportation bought Bert's new plane for her extensive travels between
Springfield and Alabama. Kay is doing historical research work in the South,
but she likes to fly to Springfield for week-ends.
On this particular Saturday afternoon, Kay and Marie Senecal are flying
over the Springfield area, taking in all the beauties of nature before landing
at the home of Mrs. Norbert Neffinger, the former Miss Avis O'Donnell. Avis
is holding a reunion of the Class of '46 today. Mike, who is chief photographer
for the Springfield Union, is to take pictures of the event. She is well armed
for the task with her atomic camera invented by lane Reinhard. This camera,
which is worn as a ring, not only takes pictures but develops them at the
same time. lane has made millions overnight with her idea.
Well, the plane is now circling over the Neffinger home. Slowly it begins
to glide downward, right over the mirror-surfaced swimming pool surrounded
by huge maple trees, then comes to a sudden stop on the lawn in back of the
rambling white house. Kay and Mike are first met by Virginia Murphy, the
present Mrs. Donald Hurley. Says Iinny, "Avis is in the house taking care
of her twin baby boys. Believe me, she's glad now that she majored in chem-
istry. l-ler training in proportions and measurements certainly comes in handy
in preparing formulas for those two. l came early to help her with the dishes
for this affair."
"Where's the rest of the crowd?" says Kay.
"Most likely in or near the swimming pool," replies Iinny. "lt's such a hot
day that everyone is seeking the coolest spot available. Betty Sullivan seems
to be the center of attraction there right now. She's one of the leading reporters
on the New York Times, you know, and she's got some news about quite a few
other members of our class. Let's go over and join the girls."
Down near the pool Betty is besieged by questions. "Whats this we hear
about Eveline Breault winning the Nobel prize for literature?" asks one. "Evie
wrote one of the best French novels of the year about college life," replies Betty.
"I believe it was entitled 'Les Ormes Apres Dix Heures' or 'Girls, Put Out That
Light'. Others who have distinguished themselves in the field of literature are
Alice Murray and Claire Syner. Alice, who has been hailed as America's
most prolific writer, recently published her latest collection of poems in two
volumes of five hundred pages each. Claire has considerably shaken the
foundation of the field of education with her amazing text on 'The Proper
Method of Teaching Mathematics'. This book is dedicated to the practice-
teachers of math. at the Elms.
"On Broadway, Ruth Kennedy is making quite a name for herself as a
portrayer of character roles. Ruth received so much practice during her four
years at the Elms that producers find that she can play those parts so well that
she is the highest paid stage star at present. Marita Brunton is in New York,
too. She is making excellent use of her dancing and mathematical ability as
assistant manager of the Rockettes.
tiezi
"By the way, are any of you girls going to attend Mary lane Floods concert
at Carnegie Hall next week? She has just returned from a tour of South
America. Helen Fitzgibbons, who speaks Spanish so fluently, went along as
Mern's manager. While in Rio de Ianeiro they met Dr. Marianne Street, who
has been doing bacteriological research in that region. Marianne, who likes
the country down there, said that she intends to come up North for the summer
and spend some time at the Fanning and Haley exclusive summer resort out
on Cape Cod. Mary Lou and Tessa decided 'way back in '45 that there was
no place like the beach and so they decided to make a lifetime occupation
of staying there. When the weather gets cold, they go down to Florida to bask
in the sunshine. What a life!"
A luxurious limousine can now be seen winding up the road to the Neffinger
home. Who can the occupant be? Why, it's Lois Boland, newly-appointed
Secretary of the Treasury, and Margaret Swords, inventor of an automatic
slide rule for physical chemistry students. Lois obtained her position because
of her excellent method of taking care of the Sodality funds during 1945 and
'46. Swordsy has been of invaluable assistance to Lois with this amazing slide
rule which will figure out any problem in the winking of an eye. This gadget
might also come in very handy to Pat Dowling, who has her share of difficul-
ties in the Internal Revenue Department in Washington.
Swordsy tells us that on the way up from Washington she and Lois stopped
in New York to shop. Of course, they stopped in Dorothy Callahan's Depart-
ment Store to buy some of the most distinguished gowns designed by Pat
Bardsley and modeled by Mary Donohue. "Bards" is the leading designer
of gowns in this country and Dot's store has become famous as the source of
Bardsley's originals. Dottie Callahan saw Dorothy Kelly just the other day
Kell was shopping for her trousseau. It seems that life is going to be "Gay"-er
for her quite soon.
"Speaking of weddings, Mr. and Mrs. George Bissonnette will be celebrating
their fifth wedding anniversary soon," says Esther Dillon. "It seerns that Ann
is quite busy redecorating her home and trying to keep George, jr., under
control. just the other day she had to pay a visit to the eminent child psy-
chologist, Patricia Brophy, to find out what could be done about juniors
temper. Pat, who has a special knack for handling children, solved the diffi-
culty quite well, and Ann's worries are now over."
"What are you doing now, Esther?" asks Avis. "Oh, I am chief buyer for
Annette Stanton's chain of restaurants. I travel all over in search of food.
Last week I even had to go to Ashton, R. I., to get chickens at Claire Geddes'
poultry farm. She has an enormous thriving business. Her interest in chickens
started with that poor little chick that was hatched at the Elms on March
7, l946."
And so we find all the members of '46 well off on the road of life-all
happy in their particular field of activity. Still they like to look back on college
days and recall fond memories. It is their sincere wish that succeeding classes
may follow in their footsteps and attain as much success, ever keeping in
mind the words of our Alma Mater song:
"Be our light, our guide, our friend always.
Lead us on our path each day.
Dear C. O. L. E., ever our pride be,
To your name we'll bring fame.
On life's way, your lessons we'll defend.
On your strength we'll e'er depend
And raise your emblem, its standard hold,
For we love it, revere it, our Green and Gold."
Leona Lachat
And as for our prophet, we are wondering just how she will use this data
in her classes of experimental pedagogy at her Alma Mater.

As we pause in fleeting farewell, we glance hack in retrospect on our
years at our college. The strains of "Praise to Thee, O Lord" are fading
away and our Baccalaureate Sunday is coming to a close. We leave the
college with our degrees commending us for four years' work. The memories
of our years here, the benefits reaped from the study of God and man, and
our ability to trust all things in God is strong armament for our years along
life's rough way.
The end of the ceremony in the church was followed by a gathering of
our parents, relatives, and friends. Their happiness in our success made our
own twicefold. lmbibed with the spirit of our convictions we look ahead to
a future resplendent in glory.
