'Light comfort you, light gladderi you,
light bless you,
Light hll your heart and through you
lighten the world."
The benediction of day-spring, the re-
freshing lavers of dawn - prophetic, ex-
hilarating in their newness-the relief of
star-mist against the murk of night, the
shifting sun in autumn elms, the gilded halo
of a waxen taper flickering in some forgot-
ten niche .... Can We not say that light-
light in its dazzling intensity, in its pale
shimmering, in its molten glow-brings a
solace to the human heart that no other
element can afford? Learned minds are
pierced with it, joys make one light-hearted,
truth and beauty bathe in its unstained
rays, and love, laughter, and life are inter-
woven by its bonds. Our college days
have been signally bright, shining tokens
of exuberance unshadowed. Yet, these
are but refractions imperfect, unstable,
dulled to meet man's clay-limned limita-
tions, reflections frail of I-lim who is the Illu-
minating Source. But often have we crept
near to that Source, for here on our campus,
by a dim altar-side, a feeble scarlet flame
pointed out to us the Way to the Light of
the World.

Through our yet brief span of
years, we have figuratively sought
the golden lamp of knowledge,
scholarship and proficiency in mat-
ters spiritual, cultural, scientific,
have formed our objectives, our
goals. The steep course of our quest,
rough and forbidding at the outset,
has grown increasingly brighter and
clearer as we have progressed, sig-
nifying the matchless aid and in-
spiration gained frorn teachers and
superiors who once trod the same
highway. We acknowledge with
grateful hearts the brilliant benefits
of their disciplined minds, ever
ready to impart to others the fruits
of their reaping, the lustre of their
comprehensive education.

They have chosen the guiet ways, the hidden, they have elected the
service and sacritice solicited by their thorn-crowned Spouse, they have
sought the l-louse ot the Lord.
Yet, in this detachment from the world these daughters ot loseph
necessarily exert a moving influence upon it by instilling into impres-
sionable souls the shining virtues ot modesty and true humility, Con-
secrated as they are to the promulgation of Gods truth, they devote
every measure of time and talent to the molding of young minds in
Catholic principles. ln every field ot knowledge, they interpret tor us
lucidly and simply the mystic mastery of the Divine Intellect and Light.
The dignity ot their vocation and their innate strength ot grace pervade-
with peace the atmosphere of learning.
With hearts holding a special store ot gratitude, We otter prayertul
thanks to the Sisters who made our college days a little brighter, a bit

Under the Wise and loving guidance of our parents, our wavering steps
have waxed stronger on the pathway of our lives, More surely do we
proceed into the world today because of their encouragement, discreet
reproof and watchful care, so marked in all our yesterdays. Their ju-
dicious instruction enlightened us through the curious Ways of childhood,
on through the complexities of adolescence to the breathless expectancy
of womanhood, and the foundations of our religious and moral convic-
tions find their source in the essential solicitude deep planted in parental
hearts. By their patient sacrifices-bitter, more exacting than will ever
be known-they have afforded us manifold privileges, and set us on the
path of salvation.
We can only hope to fulfill their trust in us, to carry out to the best of
our ability the fondest dreams of those dear ones who have made our
homes and hearths Warm replicas of love-filled Nazareth.

IN AFTERGLOW
How shall we measure four bright years?
How can we mingle all the light and flame we'Ue known
And center it in one small, common scope
Symbolic of the precious days we named our own?
Let us recall the time with candles four,
Each year beginning by a timid spark.
It was with hesitation lit, and then
Progressed in strength, dispelling doubtful dark.
And, as associations came more dear,
The flame waxed brighter, shedding soothing light
On labored studies, hours of jollity and mirth,
On prayerful moments both by day and night.
The halcyon times of carefree ways were oursee
Untroubled, radiantly seething to the brim
Of youth and fullnessg the fire soared high
Before it waned at last and fliclqered dim.
Four candles did we thus reverently burn,-
Four brief, bright years, our signal lamps in life
That will sustain us though our way be long
Or wearisome with galling pain and strife.
And now is our last taper gleaming lowg
The echoes of our college joys grow far and soft-
But waitl A last gold spark is blazing to ignite
The Torch of Truth which we must bear aloft.

her sincerity, her dependability, her unwavering firmness in following out a
chosen idea. l-fer marked facility for modern languages showed forth in her
ability as a linguist, and the clear, precise pronunciation of foreign phrases
made her recitations a delight to hear. She took an enthusiastic interest in
her practice teaching, and we are certain that "her pupils" benefited greatly
from the experience, Her smiling acquiescence to every appeal has stamped
her as a staunch Elmite, and we feel that the same charming trait will always

ETTY .... The dance in her eye, the sprinkle of laughter in her heart, the
clear ring of her voice all come to mind when We think of her carefree,
life-loving ways. Nothing ever bothers her for long, worry seems alien to
her nature. Concerning those frequent trips to Boston and Worcester, she
often found difficulty in trying to decide which was "on schedule." A par-
ticular propensity lor poetry-especially that of Tennyson and Browning-
marks her enthusiasm for English courses. Ever willing to render a song,
she is numbered as an active member of the famed "Swan Club" which
boasts an enrollment of three "melody makers." During her years with us,
Betty has been a most gracious hostess, making "open house" a daily event
in her room. Things can never be dull or prosaic when Betty beams in.

supporter. Ro has played an influential part in our manifold activities, and
has taken a particular interest in dramatics. Her interpretation of the gushing
socialite, Mrs. Sands-Woodford, in "The Masterful Monk" clearly proved her
theatrical ability. Although not a formal member of the debating team, she
was always ready to lend her viewpoint to motivate a vital discussion, Ro
has divided her weekends quite fairly between Floral Park and Providence,

knitting needles produce testify not only to her skill, but also to her patience.
Despite her amazing ability in math, and her capture of the science award
in chemistry, Durk's "ether experiment" achieved for her the greatest distinc-

the predominating note in her work and play, her pastime and pleasure. Her
skillful fingers, twinkling or tarrying over the keyboard, enchant her im-

to boogie-woogie. A few dryly humorous remarks thrown in here and there
reveal her quiet love of fun. Always a thoroughly good sport, she is ready
to join in every frolic. Barbara is a beauty in her own right-tall and willowy,

Light and shadow playing across
spacious lawns and sitting through

setting tor the tainiliary corntorting

Chapel quirks. playing pools ot color

C asses
The glinting facets of college life
shimmer in purest sparks through
the medium of the individual classes.
A definite characteristic, a typical
personality dominating each group,
converge their varied rays into one
shining center of comradeship and
cooperanon,
Among the undergraduates, the
verdancy of the freshmen takes but
little time to mellow, and their ree
freshing naivete colors their every
action with a candid charm. Gay
young sophomores exert a new con-
fidence in their seasoned status as
Elms students, and begin to appre-
ciate more fully the values of the
college ideals, while the rollicking
merriment of lolly luniors testifies
that, decidedly "this is the best
year."
Orderly vigor of minds intent upon
education, and willingness of groups
to labor for the achievement of suc-
cess signify the ardent school spirit
abounding in classmates close
bound by love and loyalty for their
Alma Mater.

At the
junior Prom
Handsome girls with eyes of blue
Gowns of pink with ruffles, too,
At the lunior Prom.
Men galore-both short and tall
Blondes, brunettes and dark-haired-a
At the Iunior Prom.
Youth and joyful jollity
Laughter, mirth and melody
At the Iunior Prom.
Dancing couples crowd the floor
lohn and lane arid many more
At the lunior Prom.
FatherfDauglite1 Banquet
Men together-pleasing sight
Ioining in with all their might
Chatting-singing-laughing all
ln the gyms-the Banquet Hall.
Every Dad had his best belle
Who resembled him quite well
And the reason? Plain to see
Shes his girl at OLE.
Old friends, new friends this day meet
Songs and music-quite a treate
All our fathers year by year
AskJ"When is the next one, dear?"

At the Spring Concert
Gilbert-Sullivan, Romberg, Cain,
Music reigned on the campus again.
Colorful picture, glitter, gloss-
Our Spring Concert with Holy Cross.
Striking black with pastels flowing,
Voices mellow deeper growing,
Twinkling keys, soft strings, sweet-sounding
Orchestral strains throughout resounding
Dancing couples-petit and tall
Form shadowy figures along the wall
'Mid dreamy music, dimming light
Made happy mem'ries of this night,
At the Easter Ball
Apple blossoms o'erhanging the wall-
Thats the scene of the Easter Ball.
Fountains, gardens and sprigs of green leave
Little benches beneath the trees.
Rosy buds with a fragrance so rare
Grace the gowns of the maidens fair.
Skirts that glimmer and swish to and frc
Tunes so lilting and sweet and low.
At the MOIl16T'DdlLgl1f6T Tea
Maytime with Mother-Daughter tea,
Tuneful, joyful melody,
Elmites gather with loved ones near,
Crimson roses for Mothers dear,
Pageant so true of Mother-love
Of her on earth and her above.
On lVlother's Day we honor, too,
The Lovely Lady dressed in blue.

Sophomore napslzots
A stage in semi-darkness-tables topped with red-checked cloth-candles
set in wax-dripped bottles 5 la Greenwich Village-smiling faces of dinner
partners lighted by the soft candle glow-waiters in keeping with the
theme from head to toe-black derbies, handlebar mustaches, huge white
aprons-standing to one side, within the circle of tables a young "beau"
with straw hat and caneein the spotlight a dainty little doll in pink sun-
bonnet and flowered dimity come to life-sparkling against the velvet
black background the words "Club '49.". . .
That is one of the pictures taken Halloween night, the night of the Sopho-
more show and party. This year we were the Sophs who had to live up to
past traditioneand from what we have heard we did so 'cause everyone had
a grand evening.

them, support them all the way.

Claus laden with presents for all, and the party in O'Leary which added a
warm, joyful climax to the evening-all these we looked forward to, enjoyed
on that night of nights, No, our Sophomore Album would never be complete
without this precious "snap"
Yes, we Sophs are proud, indeed, of our album of favorite snapshots and
we treasure its every page, each bearing cherished memory-tokens, and
tucked away in a very special spot is this "snap" of another group of "gay
young sophomores." Recognize them? They're our senior sisters of '47 when
as sophomores they composed and staged the Irish musicale,

Sept. 18-Registration-Sunny and warmer:
Although the sun was beaming, we felt a chill of uncertainty as we faced
college registration for the first time. However, clouds rolled back and
blue skies forecast bright days here at OLE. The same radiating glow
filled the heart of each "frosh" as she attended the Mass of the Holy
Ghost. Our pressure areas-high to low-were signified by the various
classes.
Sept. 28-Elms Night-Threatening:
Oct.
lust the word for those ominous seniors who haunted the freshmen for a
week. Decked out in kerchiefs, aprons and mittens we bowed to their
bidding, and on that fatal, stormy night faced the senior court under
charge of insubordination and rank treason. Yet, Elms Night brought us
our junior sisters, who made the horizon a bit brighter.
l7-Retreat-Clear and calm:
The lucid sermons of Father Flanagan brought to us inspiring ideals,
immeasurable benefits and graces. Not only was retreat mentally re-
freshing, but we found it also spiritually invigorating.
Oct. 28-Cap and Gown Sundaydlntermittent to clearing:
Reflecting the mutable emotions of the seniors, we "frosh" felt both proud
and sad for the Class of '47, proud, because we sensed the efforts they
had exerted to attain this long-awaited goal, and yet sad, for they would
soon be leaving OLE. The impressive ceremonies at chapel provided
a bright ending to a treasured day.
Oct. 31-Halloween-Fair:
The lasses of '49 paraded their talent before all by the light of a harvest
moon. The Gay Nineties' costumes and barber-shop quartet were unfor-
gettable. And "She Was Only a Bird" was a heart-rending ballad! After
the show we went to the gym for cider and doughnuts and then home
under the stars with traditional Elms songs echoing in our ears.
Nov. 3-lunior Tea-Pleasant:
The delightful tea given at the Highland Hotel by our junior sisters pro-
vided enough cheer to carry us through the dire exam days looming
just ahead.
Nov. 19-Ouarterly Exams-Stormy:
Dark days came upon usl Blue daysl Yes, blue books shadowed all,
and the atmosphere was heavy, indeed, as we crammed.
However, judging from the geniality and affability of the upperclassmen
here at O.L.E. we predict bright and sunny days ahead for the Class
of 1950.

The Sodality of Mary, forming as it does a major part of Catholic colle-
giate life, has had a year most satisfying in its activity. Through the capable
direction of Anne Canty, the various branches of the society have expanded
in spiritual and cultural influence, reaching every Sodalist by their wide
range of appeal.
An instance is the new interest added to meetings of the Study Club. Father
Pierce, Sodality moderator, has lectured on the liturgy of the Church, and
under his guidance members have studied the matter diligently, eagerly,
discussing it from varied angles. As a result, a vital appreciation for this
priceless Catholic heritage has been gained, an accomplishment of which the
Study Club may well be proud. '
A daily concourse could be seen gathered in the corridor, heads bobbing
and tongues animated, commenting favorably on the unique features of a
recent poster. Every other day the bulletin board burst forth with new life
and color, announcing in the most attractive and original manner the latest
Sodality news. The willing spirit and artistic skill of the Eucharistic Corn-
mittee made this year's Sodality bulletin a record one. Q
Through the generous planning of the Mission group, the "Little Sisters" at
Mount St. Vincent were treated to a Christmas surprise. Laden with dolls,
games, clothing and candy, Sodalists trooped to lngleside for the important
event-one, indeed, that proved both enjoyable and profitable, since so many
small hearts were made happy. Again, by the untiring efforts of this com-
mittee, whole-hearted support characterized the Propagation of the Faith
Drive, and that for used clothing. Baskets, distributed to needy families during
the holiday season, also showed the charitable scope of genuine Catholic
Action.
Combining the spiritual and cultural aspects, the Literary Club has spon-
sored many an entertaining and valuable evening of rousing discussion in
regard to latest books. ln the consideration of current literature, the tenets
contained in Father Gardiner's guide to the intelligent appraisal of reading
matter have been faithfully observed. Through the stimuli of coffee hours
and round-table chats, a more vivid view of the field of Catholic journalism
has been afforded. May the interest grow more keen.
Social functions have been signal through the past months. The Christmas
party typified the spirit of the time by uniting reverence and mirth. Too, the
gay booths of the annual bazaar attracted merry Elmites, and the dreamy
Easter Ball beneath a canopy of apple blossoms proved a very special affair.
And yet, these are just a few of the many examples of Sodality enterprise.

SODALITY RECEPTION
The Feast ot the Immaculate Conception marked the date ot the otticial
receiving ot the Freshmen into the Sodality of Mary. In the presence of
angels, Saints and all the court of Heaven, these candidates pronounced the
simple, awesome words of their consecration to the devoted serving ot the
Holy Mother ot God, and in turn obtained the silver medals, bright emblems
at this blessed obligation Every Sodalist, a daughter ot Mary in a truly
special sense, must have renewed spontaneously in her heart at that moment
the humble vow of her own warm loyalty. The Rev. Thomas S. I-Ianrahan,
in his address to those received, exhorted them to follow as their model Mary,
"The Mother ot fair love, and of fear, and ot knowledge, and of holy hope."

One ot the rnost beautiful and most treasured of days is that on which the
Sodalists wend their way in solemn procession down to the shrine, small and
waiting, to crown Mary, Queen ol their hearts and Lady ot the Way. The
girls, delicate attendants in flowing gowns ot flower petal tints, raise their
voices in clear songs of love to their heavenly Mother as they bring "flowers
of the fairest, flowers of the rarest" to Mary, the loveliest Queen of the May.

This group, Whose membership is restricted to seniors, met bi-weekly, in
conjunction with the classes in philosophy. During the year the club featured
lively discussions on points ot the most current importance, Several of the
meetings were dedicated to the sociological question, "Resolved: That labor
should be given a direct share in the management of industry," which was
treated from a religious as well as secular viewpoint. According to the usual
procedure, two or more speakers argued pro and con, and the ensuing con-
troversy Was given over to the tloor where it underwent animated analysis.
Other problems tor debate were the proposal of socialized medicine, the
treatment of the Negro, and the Catholic position in regard to anthropologic
evolution, all of which proved ot utmost interest. Acting as advisor, Father
Shea summarized the main points ot each meeting and quickly clarified any
difficulties encountered during discussion.

l-low often our Verdeoro Players have carried us with them over the foot-
lights into the realm of make-believe, where the magic of the theater enables
us to see again the people and things of yesterday, forgetting the present
with its trifling cares, losing ourselves in the humor or pathos of the moment.
Those "big nights" are long remembered, and treasured, too, are the busy,
happy hours spent backstage, wielding brush and hammer with relish land
excellent resultsll, Our Little Theater world gathers all together in one unified
center of activity.
Beyond the benefits it affords, there is added significance in the presence
of a dramatic society on the campus of a Catholic College. Representing
life, drama must contain a true moral basis-a quality so lacking in much of
todays theater. ln this lie a challenge and opportunity for Catholic college
artists, that of recognizing moral integrity and determining standards of good
taste in the face of modern opposition.
Our "Green and Gold" Players have taken up successfully both the "chal-
lenge" and the "opportunity," having wholly captivated their audiences in
the presentation of admirable dramatic choices.

Year after year the Mother Iohn Berchmans Debating Society offers to its
student members excellent opportunities to voice their opinions concerning
problems of current popular interest in debates, panels, round-table discus-
sions and other forms of inter-class and inter-collegiate forensic activity. lt
presents one important phase of collegiate Catholic Action, providing occa-
sions for the public presentation of sound Catholic thought and reasoning,
and preparing the Catholic college student of today for the role which she
must seek, that of the Catholic civic leader ot tomorrow.
The year 1946-1947 brought with it a full roster. One evening each month
was set aside for house debates which were followed by varied forms of
activity from the floor. As always, the debates on the inter-collegiate schedule
drew the campus spotlight, and the resumption of the Inter-Class Debate
series was hailed with marked enthusiasm.
M.I.B. holds a notable place in the extra-curricular program at Our Lady
of the Elms so well designed to complement the academic schedule. May it
always till this place with the same outstanding success of this yearl

The monthly meetings of this progressive group demonstrate the keen
interest of its members in new scientific advances and current discoveries.
Such timely topics as radioactivity, electronics, and penicillin are discussed
thoroughly and penetratingly, rousing a healthy curiosity concerning the
marvelous complexities of the world in which we live.
A "sparkling" enterprise of the alert club was initiated successfully this year
in the pulolishing of "Prisms," an informative and entertaining paper offering
scientific articles and the popular column, "Katy List," describing humorous
or unusual happenings in the labs.
New photographic equipment has loeen purchased, affording enthusiastic
.students the opportunity to develop and enlarge their own snapshots in the
dark room. A widespread interest in trick poses and photographic experi-
ments has developed as a consequence.
In their pursuit of scientific knowledge, the studentvmembers never fail to
associate with the mystic order in creation the supremacy of the Highest
Cause, the Benevolent Creator, for "take God from Nature, and nothing
remains."

Merely the phrase Hjouez aux caries" is enough to recall one of our many
pleasant gatherings of Le Cercle Fnmgais. While playing lively games of whist
with our fellow members, We enjoyed the incomparable music of the ever-
popular French composers. Another high point in the social life of Le Cercle
lll7l
was had at the Christmas meeting in which we traveled in spirit to the many
European hamlets, villages and cities where we became intrigued with the
types and practices of strange, quaint customs. Our little programs of Christ-
mas carolseffmtez cloches, Sainte Nuit, Il est mf le dwin Enfant-are safely
tucked away in our memory books with only a tinkling ripple ot melody escap-
ing now and then to remind us ot their presence. Le Cevcle Frangais also
boasts of its own publication, "Les Chuchotements des Ormesf' which con-
tains in its compact pages an imposing array of editorials, reviews, short
stories, poetry and articles of interest to all French students.
By contributing to our familiarity with the French language, this club aids
us in obtaining a clearer, wider understanding of the people, the customs and
the culture ot lovely France.

The Glee Club, swelling in volume and beauty of harmony as each suc-
ceeding year adds new and talented members to its ranks, has, during these
past months, enjoyed signal success in all its undertakings, Always a source
of pleasure to those who like to sing and to hear good music, it has offered
striking opportunities for solo Work and chorus technique, so essential to the
renditions of its delightful programs.
First on the schedule appeared the annual Christmas program, featuring
the ever-loved melodies reminiscent of the angelic choirs on that Night of
lll9l
the Nativity. The chorus, singing from the balcony, created the illusion of
heavenly harmonies as the simple, colorful Christmas pageant unfolded before
the reverent spectators in the Rotunda below,
After the holiday season had passed, sparkling plans were in order for a
spring concert to be given in conjunction with the group from Holy Cross
College. Extensive and intensive rehearsals immediately began in order to
give the required polish to the selections-the gay The Years at the Spring, the
haunting Snow and I Heard a Forest Praying, and the always popular Serenade
from the "Student Prince," the joint numbers given with the Crusader chorus,
O Sacrum Convivmrn and the powerful The Omnipotence, and, a cappella, the
poignant cry of Kodaly's Ave Maria. in
lust a tantalizing bit of the program was offered on the radio prior to the
concert, affording many members the thrill of employing a new medium for
their talent,
The club is not only essential as a suitable means of vocal expression, but
is also beneficial in that it makes college days brighter days, putting, as it
does, a song in our hearts.

Tennis, swimming, riding, archery, bowling, basketball, ping-pong, softball
and other spirited, wholesome sports denote a portion ot the activities which
play such a leading role on our campus. Throughout the nine months of the
school year, one or more of these popular diversions captures the spotlight
in successive seasons,
The rambling gymnasium, providing badminton and basketball courts, is
at the disposal of students at all times, and its spacious tloor and extensive
equipment supply the necessary setting tor the development of good sports-
manship, The roomy tennis court situated beyond O'Leary Hall likewise
proves a challenging ground tor exhibitions of skill.
Chosen for their ability and interest in the tield ot athletics, leaders ot the
association organize and regulate tournaments and inter-class tilts where
thrills and tension rank high. ln accordance with the number ot points
achieved and championships gained, medals, cups and letters are awarded
to each member, Such rewards add to the stimulus prompting energetic
Elmites to engage in the honest fun ot friendly competition.

The little room up under the eaves is the hub of teeming activity at three
very special times during the course ot the year. Long ribbons ot important-
appearing galley proof tangle about the chairs, scissors and pencils insist
upon hiding, and blobs ot glue drop in the most inconvenient places. Anticipa-
H231
tion is great as the dummy falls in line for autumn, the winter or spring issues,
and when at last the crisp, white-leaved copies arrive, the staff revels in the
first surreptitious glance between its covers.
Naturally, as in the accomplishment of any worthwhile project, a bit of
work is involved, and so it is in the composition of the quarterly, which con-
tains the best of student creative work. From the facile pens of journalistic-
minded Elmites, develop short stories, verse of varying theme and style,
articles and candid reviews of the latest in literature.
Forming a comprehensive survey of the trend of Catholic collegiate thought,
Toiwmalme offers at the same time an admixture of emotional appeal. The
standard of Tom-maline is high, it serves as a medium for Catholic truth and
is ever ready to print upon its pages the defense of the philosophy, the doc-
trines, the heritage which the Church upholds. By way of theme and view-
point it exerts a powerful influence, instilling into its readers a sincere admira-
tion for true worth.

Without the aid ot a school paper it would be impossible to record all the
tast-shitting scenes ot campus lite. This is Elvnscripfs task-and indeed she
iultills it well. Every Elms girl boasts the tact that although the paper orig-
inated only two years ago it now compares more than favorably-both in its
makeup and content-with top-notch collegiate publications. New teature
columns have been added, and the range ot news coverage has broadened
to such an extent that it necessitated a doubling of the statt. The very head-
ings of the columns-Chic Chat, Sports in Review, Club Activities, Vox Ulmis,
Letters to the Editor, Editorials, Fashion Forecast, Alumnae News-indicate
the numerous themes of interest Elvnscript has to offer. As a member of the
Catholic Press Association, the publication keeps up to date with the latest
trends in journalistic style, with the Catholic viewpoint pervading its pages.
VVe owe a vote ot thanks to Elmscript-a most effective medium tor adding
new zest and interest to college life, and tor intensifying that school spirit
which is so characteristic ot every Elms girl.

Every year contains events that
are particularly memorable either
for their spiritual worth and beauty,
for their sound intellectual value or
for their scintillating entertainment,
We were fortunate, indeed, to count
among these past months occur-
rences that were, for the most part,
a combination of several of these
elements.
Through the regular passage of
days, through the ordered routine of
schoolwork and play, there came an
occasional rift in the monotone, al-
lowing for the passage of an espe-
cially bright shaft of new color and
change. Lectures - religious and
literary-emusic, drama and moments
of special significance find a promi-
nent place in the senior scrapbook
as a result.
e nnuaf Retreat
Retreat . . . the haven of quiet contem-
plation and repose, the time of soul-
searching thought, the inner anchorhold
of tranquillity ....
It was with heartfelt gratitude that, in
the midst of October, we students put
aside all cares and distracting associa-
tions, and for three days walked with God
alone. Indeed, it is this absolute isolation
of the individual with her Divine Master
that Rev. lohn P. Flanagan, S. I., advo-
cated so strenuously in his vivid confer-
ences. By this method it is impossible to
crowd out the supernatural with the nat-
ural, the profound with the profane, as is
the common tendency in the modern
world today. To settle the equilibrium
of our existence, to balance the weights
of our daily deeds, to deserve more fully
the destiny awaiting us, we realize deeply
the impelling need for close personal con-
tact with Cfod. Alone, in the silence of our souls, we hear the whisper of His
voice. Apart, far from the rush and strain of business, the complex affairs of
men, we discover peace in the inner sanctuaries of our being.
Father Flanagan emphasized the basic beauty to be had in our engrossing
quest for God in solitude. True beauty is found in the blending in unity of
things that are various, thus, by the commingling and coordination of work,
recreation, love and religion, our lives should be bound into such a unity,
such a oneness, the happy harmony of which is apparent to Heaven. The
pattern ot our days, 'carefully following the design of the Creator, can be
unconscious poetry, for "there is a bit of the star, the rose, the thrush in
every one of us."
We must, in addition to directing all our faculties and ambitions toward
the fulfillment of the Divine Will, recognize our utter dependence which is,
after all, a blessed reliance. Through the realization that God alone takes
a personal interest in each one of us, cherishing each soul as a rare and
singular gem, we recognize our insignificance, our feebleness as compared
with His puissant majesty.
There is, in the present world condition, the necessity for vigorously oppos-
ing and crushing the subtle attacks on the very foundations of Catholicism.
Yet, we cannot fight for what we do not love, we cannot love what we do
not know. Here, in the lessons of our retreat, lies the crux of the answer: the
searching of the soul for God alone, that it may know Him more intimately,
the increasing of our familiarity with His benevolence, that we may love Him
more ardently. With this accomplished, we shall find ourselves strengthened
by grace to contend on the side of Christ, and our lonely paths will be bright-
ened by light, which is the shadow of Cfod.

ln the last blue and gold days of October, anticipation of Cap and Gown
Sunday waxes bright. The usual eager expectation was heightened even
more this year by the institution of a new investiture ceremony which the
class of '47 hopes will become traditional. Following the celebration of the
Mass of Christ the King, Rev. leremiah Sheehan presented to each neophyte
the official insignia of seniority, the long-awaited cap and gown. Sophomore
sisters performed the actual investing, and underclassmen formed a guard of
honor to O'l.eary l-lall where a special senior breakfast was in order.
The ensemble of the hour was, notably, mortar board and crisp-collared
gown, and compliments and congratulations predominated as parents and
friends arrived for the afternoons festivities. With shafts of autumn sunlight
mellowing the flower-filled chapel, the solemn procession made its way down
the central aisle as strains of the stirring jubilare lifted to the vaulted ceiling.
loy was overwhelming in forty-six expectant hearts, Rev. lohn C. Proctor,
S. I., addressed the new-fledged seniors with words of hope and felicitation,
and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament brought the ceremony to a
fitting close.
A reception for the seniors and their parents was held in the gym, and
later in the evening the class congregated at dinner, the final celebration
of the first momentous occasion in the life of a senior.

Miss Mary' Louise Hickey, talented Solo
dramatist, charmed us completely with
her brilliant performance of "Life With
Father." The sparkling comedy was given
even livelier treatment by this vivacious
lady, so versatile in portraying widely
divergent characters. Captivating is the
word for her.
Cferminating from the seeds sown in the literary discussion of Rev. Harold
C. Gardiner, S. j., came shoots of clearer understanding, keener discrimination
and more discerning judgment in regard to best sellers, We realized from his
vital remarks that truly each reader must be her own Index as she reads,
penetrating the surface to find the core of truth, the suggestion of beauty.

Warm, colorful and comforting, the intimate drama of the Nativity moved
us with its ageless enchantment, while on the air, spicy with evergreens, rang
out the glorious harmonies of the Christmas chorus. The soft cadences of
Gesu Bambino, rising to a thrilling Crescendo, the stirring exhortation, Shepherds,

To continue in an ethereal vein, the excellent program offered by the
Orpheus Harp Trio in a midwinter musicale sent our spirits soaring to the
skies, The skillful fingering of the golden strings, and the sparkling droplets
of music made us veritably tingle. Particularly fine were Rtzmbow Music from
Das Rhemgold, the Arabian Gypsy Ftmttzsy and the Gaelic Carol, though snatches
of the various selections thrummed in fading echo through our minds for
days after.

The blithe spirit of the Class of '47 manifested itself for four years, but during'
these past months of work and play it was interesting to note that the merry
manner remained undaunted. ln the choice of their class play the senior
thespians upheld the advantages of presenting the lively escapades of that
incomparable pair of Skinner and Kimbrough. lt offered a suitable medium,
indeed, for the sparkling talents of the seniors, and helped lighten other
hearts, too.
Of course, the seniors had to end their last year on a gay note, since they
began it with such merriment during the week of Freshman Initiation. Despite
the troubles and trials imposed upon them, the neophytes gave every indica-
tion of future gaiety and good sportsmanship, every assurance that they will
follow in the footsteps of their loyal senior sisters.

Class Day brings with it a prevailing mood most poignant, mingling in the
colorful ceremonies the mixed emotions of gladness and regret. The seniors
blend smiles with a few tears as, flanked by juniors bearing the graceful loops
of the daisy chain and escorted by the underclassmen, they proceed to a
campus spot designated as the site for the traditional tree planting and oration.
ln Veritas Auditorium, the class day program is then presented, bringing
forth the cherished memories of four years' comradeship, the fanciful prophe-
cies for the future, the echoing strains of the class song.

The planting of a tree at the close of our college years is both customary
and appropriate. lt is customary as a living symbol, a verdant token of
regard for our Alma Mater, and it is appropriate in its analogy that, as this
young sapling will grow to lofty stature, so will the roots of Catholic culture,
nurtured so lovingly by our professors, branch forth in vital, increasing
strength through the passing of time.
For we appreciate keenly the acknowledged excellence of the education
that has been offered to us here. We are convinced that its quality finds
little equal and we turn to our alumnae as proof of our credence,
It is inevitable that, through association with them, we should feel the
gentle, yet insistent influence of those who have become outstanding in the
world by rejecting the world, sacrificing all for the serving of God and man.
This that we have seen and felt is service in its truest sense, and we can, in
the future, but live by its sublime motives-utter trust in God, and the directing
of all to Him as the Supreme End.
This is, we firmly believe, the greatest lesson we have learned, and now
our pliant ideals and ambitions, trained by such guidance, will reach toward
the goal in the skies. We plant this tree as a symbol and a concrete sign of
hope that we may present the only reward we may giveethe fruit it will
bear in our lives.

l, Phyllis Marion Hoar, in the name of the Senior Class of the College of
Our Lady of the Elms, in the year of Our Lord l947, do hereby make my last
will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me at any time here-

Section leArticle l
To our President and beloved Bishop, Thomas M. O'Leary, we leave our
eternal gratitude for the establishment of this institution of higher learning
where we have had the privilege of being students for the past four years.
We also thank him for his endless toil in aiding us along the way toward
becoming better women and more devoted children of God. We shall always
remember our most Reverend Bishop in our prayers and thoughts during
our years to be.
Article 2
To our most learned Vice-President, Rev. Doctor Iohn R. Rooney, we, the
Class of 1947, give our sincerest thanks for his most welcome advice, and
our appreciation for his guiding hand during our four years here at the
College of Our Lady of the Elms.
Article 3
To Reverend Mother lohn Berchmans, S. S. l,, and the Reverend Sisters of
Saint loseph, we give and bequeath our insufficient thanks for their willing-
ness and fortitude in guiding us along the path of true Christian learning and
for instilling in us a truly Catholic, womanly attitude toward the varying
aspects of life. We shall never forget our dear Sisters, and we trust that God
Almighty will reward them greatly for the comprehensive role they have
played in the training of young Catholic women. May they find peace in
the Sacred Hearts of lesus and Mary.
Article 4
To our Chaplain and Professor of Religion, Reverend Thomas B. Pierce, we,
the Class of '47, do hereby bequeath our deep appreciation for his generous

To our Professor of Philosophy, Reverend Doctor George A. Shea, we give
our lasting gratitude for his help and patience in impregnating us with a

Soar with me on the wings ot imagination ten years hence, to the year
l957. The lounge ot O'Leary Hall is ablaze with lights and the room is
animated with activity. Yes, it is the graduating class ot l947, who have
assembled to renew old memories.
Now those three by the fireplace, who are wildly waving their hands are
not deaf mutes, as you may imagine, but are merely former French majors
of the Class of '47. Mary McManus, Anne Marie King and Carolyn King have
joined torces and operate a thriving little French restaurant, "Le Petit Gourmet"
by name, in New York's Latin Quarter. They have met with such outstanding
success that they plan to expand with a chain ot similar establishments.
That prosperous-looking trio by the pianoeMary Boyle, lane Durkan and
Betty Dolan-has sung its way into the hearts ot New York theater-goers by
their unique renditions of current songs. Barbara Larkin, a talented pianist,
is the only one able to accompany them. Another of our girls who has also
succeeded in a musical way is Phyllis Hoar, "Phyl" warbles torch songs at
one of the big night-clubs in San Francisco.
Dorothy Lawe enjoys top rank among the current authors of mystery stories.
Katherine Moriarty serves as her secretary and travelling companion. jeanne
McDermott, now the mother of tour boys, lives in the West. Her letters to her
former school chums, Dot and Kay, give vivid descriptions ot her lite there
and supply Dot with many plots for her novels.
Speaking ol newspapers, you'll never guess who edits the "New York
Sun." Yes, loan McCaffrey, former editor ot our own enterprising "Elmscript,"
and a very competent editor she is. She often lunches with Mary Vittengl, a
successful business executive with oitices in Rockefeller Center.
Those two inseparables, Betty Ann Moynihan and Clare Donlin, have
entered the tield ot commercial art, and both have excellent positions with
advertising tirms. They got their experience making posters tor the "Campus
Communique," remember?
ll39l
The three "mad scientists" who seem to be conversing in a foreign lan-
guage, but are merely using everyday scientific terms, are Mary Sheehan,
Ann Canty and Mary Iean McNamara. I've heard rumors to the effect that
they have made a scientific discovery which will rival the atomic bomb. The
scientific field is also represented by Dorothy Miner who now has her doc-
torate and has flown all the way from South America where she is chief
research chemist for a well-known oil company.
Here come Catherine McDonnell, Mary Mara, Theresa Allen and Rosemary
Tower. Their summer resort in Branford called the "Montafreeze" has become
the exclusive place to go. They obtained their experience working summers
at seaside haunts, it seems.
Mary Shevlin, Therese Cartier and Alice Lappin still look as though they
just stepped out of a bandbox. And why not? They have opened a specialty
shop in Holyoke, where they feature modish Paris originals. Another Elms
girl who has met with success in the world of fashion is Margaret Galleshaw,
who edits a popular style magazine. Margie is ably assisted in her work
by Ellen Martone who acts as business manager for the publication and
Hedwig Wolochowicz who does the striking illustrations.
Phyllis Vigneault and Rosemary Gallagher, rhythmic to their fingertips, have
opened a school of the dance in Boston, and have created a sensation with
the "Songa," an intriguing combination of the "Samba" and the "Conga"
Helen O'Neill and Mary McElroy, both ardent lovers of history, hold impor-
tant positions in Washington in the field of political science. Dorothy Manion
is also in Washington, serving as state representative for Massachusetts.
Ellin McCabe and Patricia Iohnson head the Chamber of Commerce in
Lenox, Mass. They have certainly put their fair metropolis on the map by
spreading its fame far and Wide.
Lillian Meyer has realized her ambition at last. Principal of a nursery
school on Long Island, she is happy as a lark with all her little charges. Her
good friend Rosemary Donovan heads "Miss Donovan's School" on the Hud-
son. This institution has a marvelous rating since Miss Donovan, besides
being an admirer of culture, is a strict disciplinarian.
Bette McKenna has just arrived. She is a bit late because she had to take
the clipper from Spain. Amazing all with her facility in Spanish, she acts as
chief interpreter at the American Embassy.
I was just talking to Marion Burnett who is all wrapped up in her job as
industrial engineer. She was trying to explain to me the mechanics of some
complicated engine which she is designing, but I was a mite confused, as
you can guess, Both Susan Fitzgerald and Maureen Smith have their own
radio programs now, Susan's broadcast 'To the Housewife" is a favorite of
every conscientious housekeeper and Maureen's "Clothes Corner" focuses
attention on fashion and beauty hints, and is widely acclaimed all over
America.
Muriel Desautels is doing a fine job of raising five hardy children. She is
certainly giving them a cultural background, starting them, as she does, with
Latin as soon as they are able to read. Muriel always loved Latin sol
Theresa Amiot has also achieved success in the literary world. Her short
stories and poems are to be found in all the magazines. Barbara Parnell, an
enthusiastic teacher, is using one of Theresa's collections of short stories in
her senior English literature course.
Well, during the evening, I seem to have met and spoken to all of my former
classmates. It certainly has been edifying to see that everyone has done so
well and is so genuinely satisfied with her line of work. We've had such a
delightful time we hate saying goodbye, but lights still go out at tenl And I
have reams to do to get Le Recueil out tomorrow.

The final note of our senior year is about to resound, that of our graduation
processional. Though it causes a shade of sadness, reminding us that we
must part with all we have held most dear during these four brief years, it
awakens, too, a sense of pride and gratification. The happy days we have
had, the wonderful times we have known, the joy of being together and
knowing each other so well, the priceless friends that are ours, and the power
gained in the knowledge we have procured make our retrospect a happy one.
And now, our senior farewell serenade-
"Well always remember the golden September-" when a group of bee
wildered freshmen were received into the fold, A few extra ribbons, a few
bright colors, a few odd clothes, a few rules and regulations, and the freshmen
found themselves in the midst of an initiation that the seniors long anticipated
and now realized. Each senior in the Class of '47 knew that this was her
last Freshman Week here on the campus, and thus relived her own orienta-
tion at the hands of the seniors of four short years ago. When all students
assembled for the banquet on Elms Night, the experiences of the past week
were forgotten and the new Elmites launched their career amid songs and
merriment.
"Falling leaves tumble down-7' and our autumn melody brought with it
October, the month of our spiritual retreat. We all set aside studies and
extra-curricular activities and dedicated our thoughts, words and actions to
God Alone.
"Now were seniors at lasteu Then came the senior privilege of donning
the academic garb. lnvestiturel We of '47 were proud, indeed, and tears
glistened in our eyes as we walked down the chapel aisle clad for the first
time in our cap and gown, followed by the fond glances of loving parents
and admiring friends.
"The moon and the stars-" The first affair upon which the social spotlight
shone brightly was the "Elmata Dance," '47's initial whirl of the season which
proved most successful.

the form of mid-year exams, but in February the juniors brightened our

of lilting melody The Prom merited the heartfelt praise and admiration of

lt was gratifying to see the Dads joining wholeheartedly in the general mirth-
making.
"ln your Easter bonnet-" We welcomed our Easter vacation and the
thoughts that it brought with it of the approaching Easter Ball and Spring
Concertgmany long, hard hours of work which were well repaid by the
enjoyment experienced and the compliments received.
UApril showers bring May flowers-" and so our last months here on the
campus as students were upon us. We presented our class play, "Our Hearts
Were Young and Gayf to the amusement and approval of all. Events fol-
lowed in rapid succession, for as we had feted our Dads in March, in May
we entertained our Mothers in like fashion at the annual Tea, The next event
of special interest was the Tea Dance, a bit of brightness before the gray
mist of final exams settled over the campus, Expectations of the Senior Ball,
however, soon dispelled the shadows.
"Should auld acquaintance be forgotew Symbolized by caps and gowns,
diplomas and an aura of happiness Commencement Day arrived. Sad at
leaving our beloved Alma Mater, we resolved to return often as loyal alumnae.
When we have been long forgotten at Our Lady of the Elms we yet will
recall it and each other with warm remembrances, Bidding you adieu, we say:
ttThis to you who after us will go:
'Sweet may your days be in this place' "

At length arrives the
longed-for day, Baccalau-
reate Sunday, marking
with an air of finality the
close of our four years on
the campus, binding to-
gether the ends of bright
interwoven threads of
happy, carefree days and
grand, glorious events.
Now it is that the future
becomes a reality to each
of us, for now, after long
years of preparation, we
are ready to take our in-
dividual places in life,
ready to assume the re-
sponsibilities which lie be-
fore us. Baccalaureate Sunday impresses this upon us, for it is the eve of our
reception of the degree which crowns the achievement of our college days.
The processional from Veritas Auditorium to the Chapel past the warm,
loving glances of family and friends, the words of praise and encouragement
spoken from the altar, the last solemn Benediction of our Eucharistic King and
Lord, the unity so manifestly expressed in the singing of the underclassmen
and seniors, the recessionaleall impart a thrill and become a part of our
fondest memories.
