DEDICATION TO MOTHER ELLEN CECILIA GREEN WE DEDICATE WITH GRATITUDE AND AFEECTION THE TOWER FOR 1934 TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION IN MEMORIAM TRUSTEES OF THE COLLEGE OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION WARDENS FACULTY EDITORIAL STAFF CAMPUS SENIOR CLASS JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS FRESHMEN CLASS CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS CALENDAR DIRECTORY ADVERTISEMENTS IN MEMORIAM Reverend Mother Mary Moran, R.S.C.J. Manhattanville was inexpressibly saddened by the news of the death of Reverend Mother Mary Moran, at Kenwood, February 25, 1934. Reverend Mother Moran founded in 1917 the College to which she has been always united by the bonds of interest and love. Reverend Mother Moran was born in Ireland in 1851, was educated in France, entered the Society of the Sacred Heart in England at Roehampton, and returned to France in 1881 to make her profession. Later she founded the Training College at St. Charles, London, and was its first principal. From England she went to Montreal and was in charge of all the Convents of the Sacred Heart in Canada, until 1908 when she came to Manhattanville as Vicar of the Eastern Vicariate. She busied herself with the constant improvement and beautifying of the Manhattanville grounds and buildings. In 1914, she had the Joy of preparing fhe meeting of all the Superiors of North America for the retreat with Reverend Mother Janet Stuart, the Superior General of the Society of the Sacred Heart. In 1916, His Eminence, Cardinal Farley asked her to found a college here; and in 1917 a provisional charter was granted, which was made permanent in 1919. Reverend Mother Moran was the first President of the College, and it was under her wise guidance that its spirit and traditions took their mold. Always whole-heartedly devoted to the Church and the Vicar of Christ, Reverend Mother Moran did not hesitate to dare the unknown. Her foundation of the Pius X School of Liturgical Music in answer to the Holy Father ' s Motu Proprio is a lasting testimony of this. Reverend Mother Moran was present at both the Beatification and the Canonization of Saint Madeleine Sophie; and her last visit to the Holy City was in 1928 for a general council of the Society of the Sacred Heart. Three years later she celebrated her Golden Jubilee, shortly after which Reverend Mother Moran suffered a complete breakdown. She remained in ill-health until her death in I 934. No less remarkable than her work for Manhattanville were her accomplishments for the whole Eastern Vicariate. After 1918, she was no longer at Manhattanville; but she never failed to work for its welfare, including it in the wide field of her activities over all the convents. Reverend Mother Moran founded the Academies of the Sacred Heart at Washington, D. C., and Noroton, Connecticut, and transferred those of Philadelphia, Detroit and Boston to better locations. Her interest in and zeal for the college and the academies were undiminished to the end of her intensely active life, and her action is so bound up with the early days of the college that it is impossible to separate the thought of Manhattanville from that of its founder. Her memory, her influence, her ideals are alive in the college. [7] IN MEMORIAM The Most Reverend John J. Dunn While we were away from the College for our summer vacation, we were grieved to learn of the death, on August third, 1933, of The Most Reverend John J. Dunn, Auxiliary Bishop of New York. As pastor of the Church of The Annunciation, which adjoins Manhattanville, and as a friend of the College, his loss is irreparable. The Missionary Association of Manhattanville has special reason to regret his death and revere his memory. Bishop Dunn was Chairman of the Directors of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, and for thirty years an inspiring leader in all missionary activities in the diocese. Wherever Catholic priests or nuns are working to bring souls to Christ in the pagan lands of the earth, there Bishop Dunn ' s name is held in veneration; for during the past thirty years millions of dollars have, through his efforts, been collected in the Archdiocese of New York and through the country for the relief and support of Catholic Foreign Missions. Bishop Dunn founded the Catholic Students ' Foreign Mission League, whose object it is to foster a missionary spirit in our Catholic schools and colleges. Manhattanville, all of whose students are members of this league, will never cease to revere the memory of Bishop Dunn. [8] IN MEMORIAM The Right Reverend Monsignor William J. Guinan The Right Reverend Monsignor William J. Guinan died on May twenty-seventh, 1933. He was a trustee of the College, one of the originators of the New York Apostolate Mission Band, and for seventeen years rector of the Church of The Blessed Sacrament. In Monsignor Guinan we lose an eloquent preacher, a fruitful missionary, an efficient administrator, and a learned and devout priest. To him Christ was a great and living reality. He saw Him in every man, and this faith and vision became the foundation of his boundless charity. His capacity for friendship impressed itself upon all those with whom he came into contact, and this fact is witnessed by the large number of friends whom he left behind him. Manhattanville knew him well, not only in his position as an efficient trustee but also as an invaluable friend. He continually practiced the virtue of prayerfulness and he himself gave a devoted example in his preachings. Perhaps the best summing-up of his character is given by the Reverend Michael A. Riley, who, in the funeral address for this distinguished prelate, said: Monsignor Guinan will continue to live in our affections; he will live in his work, in the hearts of the children he educated, and above all he will live in the hearts of the Master Whom he always strove to love and serve. IN MEMORIAM Mother Edith Olive Edmands, R.S.C.J., Ph.D. On November twenty-ninth, 1933, the college was informed of the death of Mother Edith Edmands at Kenwood. This sad news meant a real loss to Manhattanville; for Mother Edmands was not only known but well-loved by all who had come in contact with her during her years at the college. She was born in Littleton, New Hampshire, in 1880, and educated at the Tilton Seminary, N. H., and Boston University. At both these institutions she was remark¬ able for her brilliance of intellect and for her beauty of character. Later, while working in a publisher ' s office, she made the acquaintance of a Catholic friend. She read the Fathers of the Church and had a particular interest in St. Augustine. Father Gillis ' talks and sermons, and daily attendance at Mass finally led her into the Church. She was baptized in 1911. The next year she entered the Society of the Sacred Heart at Kenwood, and made her vows in 1914. She was sent to Boston, where she taught for two years. At the end of that time, she was transferred to Manhattanville, where she remained, with the exception of six months in Rome in 1920, until 1930, as head of the department of Latin and Greek. Her health broke down in 1930, and she was sent to Kenwood in the hope that she would grow better. After an apparent recovery, she came back to Manhattanville, but she suffered a relapse and was obliged to return to Kenwood, where she died on November twenty- ninth, to the sorrow of her many friends. At Manhattanville, Mother Edmands was loved and admired for her straight¬ forward manner and ready wit. She was a special foe of sham or unreality in any form. Witty without being sarcastic, the impersonal way in which she could point out flaws or errors never left a sting. Her love of, and interest in the classics was infectious; and so great was her enthusiasm that a lesson in Latin syntax took on something of the nature of an adventure. Mother Edmands founded the Classical Club and started it on its distinguished career. An interesting sidelight on her love of the classics, was her collection of elephants—which her successive classes assembled as a memento of Livy and Hannibal. Mother Edmands was the author of our well-loved In Exultatione Metens which is sung at every commencement. She was faculty adviser of the TOWER and the ESSAY for some years. But with all her duties, she always had time for friendly conversation with any of the students. The girls who knew her, remember her best for her understanding and sympathy, which, out of class hours, was given equally to the just and the unjust. Mother Edmands ' death is a loss to Manhattanville which can hardly be measured. [9] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER The Trustees of the College GERTRUDE BODKIN, R.S.C.J., Ph.D., Honorary President GRACE C.

Talented, artistic, musical to her finger tips, that is Leonarda and yet she possesses that unusual and lovely sympathy and understand¬ ing of us who are nof so gifted. To talk with her is a rare pleasure and an intellectual exercise. One feels on one ' s foes, so fo speak, on one ' s meffle, anxious nof fo miss a word of whaf Leonarda says, and so hopeful of saying something oneself that is a little remarkable and a little worthy of remembrance. For nothing that is remarkable escapes Leonarda. A lovely, grave, approving smile breaks out when the person to whom she has been talking, expresses a particu¬ larly noble thought, or says a particularly kind thing. We know that Leonarda will always continue to inspire those whom she meets to excel themselves. [ 24 ] THE TOWER MARY BYLES, E. de M.

A mind that terrifies opponents in the field of history, debating or religious controversy and a manner that gains and keeps many choice friendships are Mary ' s characteristic possessions. When we see her between classes, as she talks with a friend, her twinkling eye and the toss of her head reveal her sense of humor. But her smile does not fail her in more serious occupations. Perhaps that is why she has made such a success as President of the Debating Club, has been prominent in dramatics and has been an unforgettable chairman of the Catholic Evidence Training Class and the Catholic Action Forum. As a member of class hockey and basketball teams Mary has shown her spirit and ability in athletics as well. In fact, it is her versatility of interests and the phenomenal way in which she does everything well that make Mary a Senior who is loved and admired. May her future be as successful as have been her four years at Manhattanville. [ 25 ] 1 934 ♦ THE TOWER- ' TERESA COHALAN, E. de M.

One rarely sees Teresa gesticulating violently, or obviously excited and anxious in her efforts to get a thing accomplished. She is essentially even-tempered and calm, but that does not mean that she is monotonous; for we have seen this same calmness exhibit a stronger surety when she upholds her question in a debate; and again a kind of persuasiveness when she wants to interest you in a particular subject; involuntarily you become interested. Because she is unobtrusive and undemonstrative, one would think on first seeing her that she is a very reserved person. Yet in spite of her intensive power of concentration, which gives her an absorbed look, she is extremely amusing in what she sees in situations, and in her manner of expressing this. She has a well balanced disposition, she is a versatile conversationalist, and is as equally inclined to be amused as to be amusing. [ 26 ] THE TOWER ANNE CONNOLLY, E. de M. Holy Child Academy New York City, New York Debating Club— ' 31; Glee Club— ' 33; Tower Board— ' 33; Cercle Francais— ' 34; German Play— ' 33; Thumb Tack Club— ' 33. A calm, unperturbed manner is a great asset in college life; yet it is only one of Anne ' s many fine qualities. Those of us who have had the opportunity of hearing her pleasant French pronunciation or of seeing her as a jolly student in the German play know that she is at home in the field of languages. Her work on last year ' s Tower proves that she has skill in affairs of business, while anyone who has seen Anne engaged in quiet conversation before class or in the day- student ' s foyer knows that she has entered into the social life of the college without difficulty. We are sure that when she has left Manhattanville for more arduous duties she will find many friends who will appreciate her calm, gentle ways. But at the same time we shall greatly miss Anne ' s shy smile from our college gatherings. [ 27 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER GRACE CORRAL, E, de M.

If anyone wants a poster or a costume or a stage setting Grace is sure to be summoned for aid. Her skill and aufhorify in the field of art are unquestioned at Manhattanville and her successful year as President of the Thumb Tack Club proves that our confidence in her was not misplaced. But Grace has proved her ability in other lines as well. She has mastered the intricacies of Latin and philosophy and yet she has had time to represent her class on the hockey field and in the swim¬ ming meets where her firm strokes have won admiration and ap¬ plause from team mates and opponents alike. But to talk with her in the evening or, better still, at the Sunday dinner table, is to appreciate Grace, herself. For, although we know she is anxious to arrive at the movies before one P. M. she will, nevertheless, sit and regale us with stories and opinions that are a thousand times more interesting because Grace ' s quiet laugh is interspersed between sentences. We all admire Grace because she is one of those rare people who count among their achievements a capacity for work as well as a capacity for pleasure. 123 ] - THE TOWER LUCILLE CORRAL, E. de M.

There is no one in Manhaftanville quite like Lucille, a singular com¬ pliment, but then she is an unusual person. Her sudden outbursts of enthusiasm,. her delightfully original sense of humor come as surpris¬ ingly as they go. Her independence, which is as sincere as she is herself, results in a seemingly cold indifference, that is paradoxically, not indifference, but poise, and gracefulness, and a natural serious¬ mindedness, which leads us to discover other qualities in marked contrast to those flashes of gaiety. She has the gift of perseverance to such a degree, that she finishes a thing thoroughly, pursuing it to a satisfactory end, satisfactory in that it is unconsciously well done. Like many of the Latin race, she has, in addition to de¬ termination, exquisite taste in literature, in the theatre, in anything. Ask her opinion of a book, or a play, and you may be sure it has in it a basis of thought and decision. Her friends are as sure of her friendship as we are sure of her many abilities.

Under the practical exterior of a member of the Swimming Club, and the intellectual conciseness of a most logical debater, lies a poetic soul. Forcefulness marks each stroke which wins her victories on the Swimming Team, and precision wins her many a debate no matter what the skill of her opponents may be. And, as if this were not enough, a real lyrical gift stirs the readers of her beautiful poetry. However, none of those unpleasant gualities so often found in artists, and attributed to their rightful temperaments, are found in Ruth. On the contrary, she possesses a remarkably sweet dis¬ position which manifests itself in her utterly charming manner and lovely smile. These characteristics have won for her many friends, who find in her not only a good listener, but a sympathetic one. [ 30 ] THE TOWER ♦ MARY DERHAM, E. de M.

Almost all the ecstatic phrases found in year books could be applied to Mary with great justice, but instead of rhapsodizing we will ex¬ press our admiration in the simplest words possible for people as sincere as we. Mary is versatility itself. She is not merely an athlete, a scholar, a president and a friend, she succeeds in all fields. She was the Varsity Hockey captain, a great swimmer and basketball player. As a student her marks are bewildering, and what is harder to believe, these marks are gained as a French major. For any usual person twenty-four hours a day would not be enough to accomplish all this, but beyond this Mary has time to be a very successful presi¬ dent of Student Government. She has the right attitude towards departmentalization, and because of this she keeps enough time off for play and companionship to be the general favorite of the College. The secret of Mary ' s success and versatility is the thor¬ ough way in which she does things, while keeping all her activities in their right places, never mixing one with the other. We want to ask one thing before she goes—how does she do it?

The realization that modern artists tend toward descriptive analyses in black and white, be it a pencilled etching or a definitely outlined silhouette, is a fact more sharply imprinted on our minds when we think of Pat. For she is easily comparable to an etching, with the artistic and the practical merging gracefully into one complete drawing, of fineness when we think of single attributes, and strength, when we think of the whole. But there is something more tangible than this picture of her. Her capableness as business manager of the Essay proves the reality of her practical powers. Her subtle appreciation of beauty upholds the statement that she is artistic. It is a deeper recognition of art, which explains its subtlety; and what is more, it is an original appreciation, since she finds and points out cleverly that which is not the obvious thing to say. Therein lies her originality. Finally, her understanding, her friendliness and her sense of humor make her a real person. [ 32 ] THE TOWER ♦ 1934 MARGARET DOYLE, E. de M.

The exterior gracefulness and graciousness of Margaret ' s personality are supplemented and enriched by an interior grace of mind, mak¬ ing her charm something more than a superficial guality. So it is that we find an element of interest present in everything that she says or does. If a person speaks with poise and quietly penetrating force, one could not help but listen; if she is a? much at ease on the tennis court as when dancing, one could not help admiring her grace; and if, because she is interested in what you have to say, she is entertaining and delightfully easy to talk to, one would say she is certainly attractive. Margaret is such a person. A certain conservativeness is offset by a more uncertain impetuosity, which explains perhaps her breathless rushes here and there, with always a definite aim, indicative of the fact that she is strong-minded and determined. That attractiveness which is always apparent, not only in one aspect, but in many, endears her to her numerous friends. [ 33 ] THE TOWER- ' NORMA DOYLE, E. de M.

Norma is a person who enjoys life and who can make everyone around her enjoy it, too. This year we have missed the jolly little quips and antics which she used to concoct when she was a resident stu¬ dent along with her partner in crime, Ruth Slattery. Somehow Norma can always see the ridiculous side of a situation and, what is more, she can make you see it, too. Besides being very amusing in her repartee and in her pranks, Norma has the wholesome good- humored outlook on life that makes her genuine in everything she does. She is thoroughly kind even when indulging in a practical joke, a quality which makes the victim enjoy the joke as much as Norma does herself. She is perfectly natural, and while she likes everyone, she does not expect everyone to like her; but we don ' t know anyone who can resist. [ 34 ] THE TOWER ♦ DRITHA DUFFY, E. de M.

Although Drith a has been with us for only two years, she has sur¬ rounded herself with many friends. This ability to make friends is equalled by her dramatic talents which have so many times re¬ vealed themselves, showing her to be an indispensable member of the Dramatic Club. Dritha is known and loved for her impetuous nature which dis¬ tinguishes her as interesting and definite. Along with her impetu¬ osity runs her independence which is essentially definite, but which is not in any way defiant because it is so finely tempered with friendliness. Her definite personality enhances her attractive elfin¬ like appearance and mannerisms, rounding off nicely the proofs of her rightful claim to individuality. This individuality is not only an exterior characteristic, but is also a reflection of her intellectual opinions which are never mere repetition of the latest idea, but rather emphatically her own. She has trained herself to think for herself, a training in which it is difficult to persevere. But Dritha, undaunted, has undertaken this task and, as a result, has made herself a truly arresting personality. [ 35 ] 1 934 ♦ THE TOWER ' JANE FISHER, E. de M.

Jane, as Editor of the 1933 Tower and as President of the Dramatic Club, has shown her ability for management and organ¬ ization. Added to this ability she has energy, a rare combination which inevitably results in success. Her literary talents are well known to the readers of The Essay to which she is one of our best contributors. So, we see she is not merely a good supervisor but is also a fine worker, and is well able to accomplish, herself, what she has asked others to do. She is appreciated for her even disposition and loved for her genuineness and sincerity. She stands out in her class as a talented, efficient and charming person who will, when she leaves us, assur¬ edly lead a successful life filled with achievements in varied in¬ terests.

Kay is a happy combination of friendliness and reserve, of gracious¬ ness and independence. She has a charming way of being nice to everyone, yet she could never be classified as merely sweet. Her lovely voice is the envy of all aspiring singers, and the enjoyment of everyone who is privileged to hear it. She sings just as she does everything else, with no apparent effort at all. And that is char¬ acteristic of Kay. Her charming manner, her reserve, her graciousness all seem to be second nature to her; she uses them with little or no effort. During this year, she has shown this characteristic as Presi¬ dent of the Glee Club. She is so full of enthusiasm for things that others enjoyed working for her and for what she wished to accom¬ plish. Her quiet, good-natured personality will be missed as much as her lovely voice, and friendliness.

Janet has given us a definite proof of the statement, absence makes the heart grow fonder, for her return to us, after a year ' s absence, was the cause of real rejoicing among those who had known her during her Freshman and Sophomore years at Manhattanville. Janet is the essence of refinement. Thoughtfulness, pleasantness, a con¬ genial disposition, a willingness to assist others are characteristics which contribute much towards making her a general favorite. In her work, in her appearance, in her room, in everything connected with Janet we find evidence of one of her foremost characteristics, her consistent neatness. Her friends love her for these rare traits in her character which singly are admirable but which in combination are little short of phenomenal. [ 38 ] THE TOWER ♦ CHRISTINE HEFFERNAN, E. de M.

Christine has distinguished herself by the memorable work she has accomplished through her zeal and personal interest for the missions as President of fhe Manhattanville Missionary Association. She has an essentially cheerful disposifion which dominates her person¬ ality at all times, even when she is most rushed with the duties of her position. Never has she been heard to complain of having too little leisure. Christine ' s preparation for a career of medicine has demanded a great deal of her fime; for, in addition to the work re¬ quired by a pre-medical course, she has shown a real, interest in her chosen career by completing many extra experiments ' . As an instance of the devotion with which she pursues her studies, we men¬ tion her famous forty-eight bottles. Love of activity is combined in Christine with a fine sense of humor. It is this rare combination of cheerfulness and industrious¬ ness which has made her so generally well liked, and which has won for her many real friends. Her delightful disposition and her con¬ scientiousness have been responsible for her many successes. Chris¬ tine has a manner which makes us all feel that she is our friend and not one we will easily forget. [ 39 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER CECILE HIGGINS, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Madison Avenue, New York City, New York Debating Club— ' 32; Thumb Tack Club—33; Club Espanol—’ 3 33 4; Cercle Francais— ' 34; Spanish Play— ' 32. Everything comes easily to Cecile, her smile, which gracefully merges into easy laughter, the nonchalance of her walk, which never breaks info a run, and fhe gift of talking and saying something worth while. Her personality is one which attunes itself to any situation, and thus we see that much-admired quality, her adapta¬ bility. A most enjoyable companion is Cecile, easy to talk to, amusingly entertaining and surprisingly understanding; these reasons are sufficient enough in their fullness for us to say that one could never be bored when with her. But she is not all gaiety and wit and humor. She can be quietly, calm and deeply interested with¬ out too much exterior manifestation of this interest. A pleasantly friendly, laughingly attractive Cecile is a person to be even more appreciated when we know that her friendliness is sincere, that her humor is spontaneous. [ 40 ] THE TOWER ♦ JANET HILL, E. de M.

Janet is one of those students, who by conquering the intricacies of higher mathematics, have gained the respect of all of Manhattan- ville. She is one of the pillars of the Clavian Club whose meetings she is sure to enliven with her laconic, humorous remarks. She is ready, too, with the cr rrect answer when the rest of the class sit silent, awed by talk of the Gold Standard or the mysteries of Biology. In fact, Janet is always at hand with a reply, delivered in that slightly argumentative tone which reveals at once determination of character and a command of her subject. If Janet were nOT on the way to being a mathematical genius she would make a splendid lawyer. Yet, to us her ready wit and nimble intellect appear at their best when she is engaged in one of those Janeton’an conversations which are a source of joy to all. 1934 THE TOWER- ' KEITH JENKINS, E. de M.

As one could not overlook Keith ' s outward appearance, so that same individuality is also an inner quality of her mind, and of her char¬ acter, which gives her a distinctiveness that is undefinable, yet defi¬ nite, and makes her personality one which is, and could be, solely Keith ' s. Hers is that rare nature which combines the strength and forcefulness of the choleric temperament with the intensity and magnetism which is the essence of sanguinity. The logic of her mind, the clarity and justice of her judgment render her responsible and efficient without a didactic officiousness. But her prism-like intelligence is only one aspect of her colorfulness. Think of fhe color blue—its depth. She is like it, sincere, richly saturated with a warmth of feeling. Think of the color red—its brightness. The vibrant per¬ sonal interest in all that she does makes her unconsciously interest¬ ing; an unusual sense of humor makes her uniquely enterfaining. Keith ' s personality, though not always known, is dominantly felt by those who do know her, and consequently love her. [ 42 ] THE TOWER VIRGINIA KELLY, E. de M. Sf.

Proverbially if has always been the almost unbroken rule that people who are interested in the classics are interested only in the classics. Virginia is the exception to that rule. Basketball and swimming and talking over tea are hardly less dear to her than the poetry of Catullus or Ovid. She has a wholesome interest in many things and in so many people, all so delightful in their diversified ways. Life will never be dull for Virginia while she possesses this happy enthusiasm. Wherever she goes, whatever she sees, whomever she meets, all will be new objects of interest to her alert yet serious mind. She will never fail to feel at ease with everyone as she has never failed to feel at ease with us. She has always been her charming self with us and with everyone else. Perhaps that is the reason why so many ot us number Virginia among our friends, and why all of us will wish her every success after she graduates. [ 43 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER RITA LARKIN, E. de M. St. Lawrence Academy New York City, New York Dramatic Association— ' 32- ' 33- ' 34; Thumb Tack Club— ' 34; Senior Representative— ' 34; Clavian Club— ' 34; Feast Committee— ' 34. In Rita the fine traits of sincerity, cheerfulness and sympathetic understanding, all blended together in perfect harmony, are easily recognizable. These rare characteristics she generously makes use of, bestowing her faculty for friendliness on even the most casual of her acquaintances. Her delightful sense of humor adds to her attractive personality. Her disposition is, we think, phenomenally even, for her pleasantness has never ceased to be a wonder to us. Her friends should be proud of the position they hold in her affec¬ tions, for we know Rita to be genuinely sincere. We realize that Rita has been an asset to Manhattanville and we hereby promise the deserved reward of appreciation and fond remembrance. [ 44 ] THE TOWER MARY ALICE MANGAN, E. de M.

Mary Alice ' s four years at Manhatkanville have been an outstanding example of the perfect combination of the activities in every sphere of college life. Her enviable ability to enter into each field, intel¬ lectual, athletic and social, and to succeed with undiminished en¬ thusiasm in each undertaking, is an ever-increasing wonder to those around her. She knows where to draw the line between frankness and tactlessness, simplicity and gaucherie. Her success in the field of dramatics is in sharp contrast with her natural demeanor. Every¬ one has reacted to her innate gift for friendliness, a gift which is Mary Alice ' s in an extraordinary degree. Though we dread the ■ihought of losing her as a fellow-student, we shall find some consola¬ tion in the pride with which we can point her out as a Manhattan- ville graduate. [ 45 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER peggy McDonald, e. de m.

There is something about Peggy that we shall never forget. Perhaps it is her unfailing sense of humor and her cheerful smile, or perhaps it is her kindness and friendliness. A stroll down to the front gate is like an exciting journey wh en one walks with Peggy, for there are so many interruptions. Everyone we meet stops and tells us of some incident which has just taken place. And whether the incident was tragic or funny Peggy has a word of sympathy for the student. Her sympathy springs from a deep and real interest in all with whom she comes into contact. Her sincerity obviates all necessity of sham in her life. We can always depend on Peggy for help, whether that help be in the nature of advice and direction for essays and debates or a word of friendliness and cheer. Because of that intangible, mysterious niceness, we shall always miss Peggy when she has left Manhattan- ville. [ 46 ] THE TOWER KATHRYN McGUIRE, E. de M. Justine B.

Tall, fair, serene, at first Kay would seem to be indeed a daughter of the gods. But an infectious giggle breaks through her serenity and we find that Kay is delightfully and reassuringly human. When there is a funny side to a situation, Kay will see it but she will not, thank heavens! put humor into that which should not have it. Never¬ theless she hates the thought of gloom and depression, and around her it is difficult if not impossible for the aforementioned gloom and depression to exist. We are still more surprised when we dis¬ cover that she is remarkably proficient in mathematics. Somehow, gaiety and a giggle seem incongruous with sines and cosines. But in Kay, nothing is really incongruous. From Kay we have grown to expect the unexpected. [ 47 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER  HELENA McPARLAN, E. de M. Villa Maria Country Club Road, Bronx, New York Thumb Tack Club— ' 34; Clavian Club— ' 3 3 - ' 34; Secretary— ' 34; Glee Club— ' 33. There is scarcely one girl at Manhattanville who is a stranger to Helena ' s cheery good morning. For, no matter how much we want to be miserable, when we see Helena ' s perpetually happy smile we are forced to reply in the same fashion. And this pleasant dis¬ position is proof, too, against the trials of higher mathematics, or rather, what would be trials for almost anyone but Helena. She is never more smiling and self-possessed than in those hectic moments immediately preceding a test in Calculus. Helena knows her sub¬ ject and by some happy faculty she makes everyone else certain that they know theirs. Helena is one of those people who are equally charming at a business meeting of the Clavian Club, or at a tea in her home. Hers is a quiet, yet decided personality. And we can truly prophesy that, with her peculiar ability to be cheerful and serious at the same time, Helena will continue to make others see that they can smile, even at mathematics. [ 48 ] THE TOWER 1934 ♦ RITA MERCIER Convent of the Sacred Heart Madison Avenue, New York City, New York Debating Club— ' 31. Our one regret in knowing Rita is that we have not been able to know her long enough or well enough. First we stood in silent admiration at her unfailing sense of chic which manifested itself in every detail. We never dared speak to her, for she seemed so distant. However, we suddenly found her speaking to us. She is not so detached and disinterested as a superficial examination might lead us to believe, but rather she is extremely gracious and pleasant to everyone. She has a perfectly grand sense of humor; she even has the superlative gift of laughing at herself and her pro¬ pensity for being late. She is consistently original, clothes, ideas, sayings and personality; she is completely individual and has her own place in our hearts, a place that will be hard to fill.

When you catch a sudden glimpse of someone rushing around a corner you may be sure that it is Anna Beatrice. And you may be certain, too, that she is hurrying on an errand for someone else. From the time that she was a Freshman, A.B. has freely used her time and abilities (which are numerous) to make things pleasant for others. We all know that her library—unusually large for a college girl—is always at the disposal of her friends, and in fact of the entire college. Certainly many of us bewail the fact that next year we shall be forced to do without A.B. ' s ’ 1 thoughtful kindness. In the literary field, Anna Beatrice has distinguished herself by winning in her sophomore year the Dorothy Donnelly Medal for the best lyric poem submitted by a student of the college. And, as for athletics, we shall not soon forget the gallant work of this year ' s Varsity goalkeeper. A.B. has taken her part in many college activi¬ ties, but she will be remembered not only as a fellow-student, but as a generous friend. [ 50 ] THE TOWER 1934 ELIZABETH MURRAY, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Eden Hall, Pennsylvania Debating Club— ' 31; French Play— ' 31; Tower Board— ' 33. Melissa ' s most apparent characteristic is the ease with which she is able to meet every situation. When everyone else is becoming almost hysterical over some unforeseen or alarming incident, Melissa ' s guiet calm is an antidote to too much emotion. Her unruffled good humor triumphs over all difficulties with the greatest of ease. But this is not all; for, when we search for the reason for this calm, we find the attribute which is the basis of her character, courage. Her inherent courage manifests itself not only in her famous poise, but also in her independence and her complete lack of hypocrisy. She chooses her friends, her studies and her recreations with no regard for anything but her own conscientious judgment. But Melissa ' s inde¬ pendence does not make her intractable or unruly. She is a loyal supporter of everything that Manhattanville stands for. Her un¬ wavering adherence to her ideals has gained her the respect of everyone at Manhattanville and her graduation will be a definite loss to us all. [51 ] THE TOWER MARGARET OWENS, E. de M.

The Vice-President of Student Government at Manhattanville is not, like most vice-presidents, an indefinite person appointed to an inconspicuous position for convenience. For she must be a popular, capable and responsible individual to perform the duties of her important office in the college. Margaret has shown herself to be well qualified for the position by the way she has employed her charming personality in effectively filling her position with its many responsibilities. Her calm exterior reflects her remarkable interior which is revealed by unusually excellent judgments. Her wide popularity is not to be marvelled at for she has besides these admirable points of character a sympathetic and understanding nature. Her popularity is indi¬ vidual and has its source in a form of indIv : duaIity which we sin¬ cerely wish could be copied. [ 52 ] THE TOWER PHYLLIS PARKER, E. de M.

Quietly independent, Phyllis likes to go her own way, not interfer¬ ing with any one and hoping not to be interfered wifh. She is one of fhose enviable creatures who know what they want and guite gently but firmly go after it. A day in her sail boat, far away from it all, is her idea of something worthwhile. But unlike most lovers of solifude she is ever so friendly and pleasant, and her sincerity and matter-of-factness are of fhe kind and gentle sort. Being perfectly natural, she has a charm which is different from all ofhers. She is consisfent with her personality in her rough tweeds and lovely shades of green and brown. Phyllis is determined, but she does not insist upon the whole world knowing it. She is quite happy and charming in being what she is, and in having a few chosen friends and enjoyments. She has a keen eye for discrimina¬ tion, a clever way of getting what she wants and a natural charm all her own. [ 53 } 1 934 THE TOWER - MADELEINE PASCUAL, E. de M.

Everyone knows Madeleine as an accomplished athlete, even the least of her acquaintances have heard of her prowess on the hockey field, as a member of her class team and of her remarkable ability as center on the Varsity Basketball Team. Her keen enthusiasm for The Athletic Association, coupled with her unusual capability, made her representative of her class on the Athletic Association. She is an assiduous worker, setting herself whole-heartedly into everything that she does. Madeleine ' s versatility in the field of dramatics has en¬ abled her to portray with equal success Shakespearian and Rostan- dian characters. Her lively sense of humor manifests itself in her ability to tell a story. She has also that happy faculty of truly appre¬ ciating the anecdotes told by others. These characteristics are a continual source of amusement to her friends. Manhattanville will miss her humor, efficiency and abilities. [ 54 ] THE TOWER ♦ 1934 CARMEN RAMIREZ, E. de M.

Carmen is known and loved by her friends because of her most notable characteristic, her gentility. Her popularity may be ac¬ counted for in some measure by many fine traits of character. She is typically Spanish in her beauty and in contrast to this we find her evenness of disposition which makes her so interesting. Nearly everyone has had occasion to appreciate her generosity and thoughtfulness. It is her delight to please others and she accom¬ plishes this with an astonishing ease. One of her principal claims to real character is her charitableness, a rare guality too rarely appre¬ ciated. Anyone should be proud of her friendship because it is a privilege extended to few, and one fo be treasured as a most precious possession. [ 55 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER - ALICE RILEY, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Madison Avenue, New York City, New York Tower Board— ' 33; Essay Board— ' 34; Club Espanol — ' 34. At first it does not seem possible that anyone as small and blond as Alice could write such charming poetry and could show such a knowledge of and profound interest in literature. But after one knows Alice, there is no longer incongruity or paradox. One thinks of Emily Dickinson, her sweetness, her frailty and her amazing genius for putting the simplest thoughts into the most lovely poetry. The likeness to Alice is striking. Behind her smallness and blondness is a love for all the beautiful and true, and a deep-rooted desire to express it. With such gifts in her possession, what exquisite poetry may she not write and how proudly shall we say of Alice, we knew her when . . . . ? [ 56 ] THE TOWER MIRIAM SCHMID, E. de M.

Miriam ' s vivacity plays a dominant part in her personality. It gives us the gay, happy, friendly, laughing Miriam who holds a special place in the heart of everyone of us. One could not at first guess that this boundless enthusiasm is accompanied by a discriminating judgment which manifests itself in her literary tastes and conversa¬ tions which are always mentally stimulating, never boresome. Her knowledge of the popular topics of conversation is detailed and authentic, and her presentation of them is interesting and practical. This latter is belied by her utterly feminine appearance, which is accentuated by her blond hair and china-blue eyes. The active part she takes in everything the College does and her enthusiasm and perseverance are among the many reasons that will make us miss Miriam.

Ruth is remarkable for her versatility as witnessed by her successful undertakings in many and diverse fields during her four years at Manhattanville. Her ability for management revealed itself by her work as Chairman of the Senior Class Council as well as by her accomplishments in the role of manager of the Basketball Varsity. Likewise, we find her versafility manifesting itself in the field of dramafics, where she has portrayed with conviction a variety of characters. She has none of the unfortunate characteristics of the proverbial red head temperament, and so is duly rewarded for her geniality and unforgettable wit with many friends who find in Ruth an un¬ usual combination of qualifies of disposition for which they have come to admire her. These qualities have established Ruth in her unassailable position as a well loved member of the Senior Class. [ 58 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER The Senior Class The Seniors gave the College its first entertainment of the year; a Hallowe ' en Party in the Benziger Building. The typical Hallowe ' en atmosphere was afforded by a presentation of the famous scene from Macbeth, the Witches with their boiling cauldrons. The theme song of the occasion was spontaneously chosen by us all to be Qui a Crainte de Mere Lecroix. Although we believe the song was included acci¬ dentally, nevertheless we all acclaimed it in a true spirit of fun and as a real mani¬ festation of the general feeling of affection for Ma Mere, the warden for the Senior Class. Later on, together with the Sophomore Class, the Seniors gave a play entitled Below Par, in which Dritha Duffy, Patrice Donovan and Mary Alice Mangan de¬ lighted us by their acting. At the suggestion of the Missionary Association, each class contributed some service to increase the funds of the society. The Senior Class sold cookies during the retreat. The Class also had charge of the President ' s Holiday celebration which was as charming as it was successful.

[ 65 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER - The Junior Class After the harrowing experiences of Freshman week, our sister class was much re¬ lieved by our invitations to the Junior Tea. This affair indicated the end of the trial and promised, as well, facilities for getting acquainted with upperclassmen, an oppor¬ tunity which can be appreciated by anyone who has ever spent the first few weeks as a Freshman in a strange college. The Tea was unanimously declared a success by Juniors and Freshmen alike. Later in the Fall the Juniors gave an unusual form of entertainment, an old- fashioned melodrama entitled From Rags to Riches or Virtue Will Out, a highly amusing performance, in which those who took part and shared in the great applause were: FLORENCE MOONEY. .Dick Dalton, the hero ANN CARROLL BAXTER.Nell, the fair heroine MARY McCARTHY .Bunky, the baby POLLY O ' DONNELL .Lord Montmorency Vere de Vere, the villain The cheerings of fhe hero and the hissings of the villain by the audience pro¬ vided the right atmosphere for the play. On November 15th, the combined talent of the Junior Freshmen Classes in the presentation of the one-act play entitled Sham won for them the College play competition. In the field of athletics there are only a small number who take part to any great extent. But if their efforts are not recorded by victories, they are at least recorded by happy memories of good sportsmanship and earnest endeavor.

[71 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER The Sophomore Class To the Sophomore Class belongs the annual task of Initiating the freshmen into college, in the true Sophomore fashion. Thanks to the originality of Madeleine Cotter, Peggy Krull and Rosemary McCann, the Initiation Committee, this was car¬ ried out in the spirit of fun, and it was hilarious and entertaining to all, the Freshmen included. Besides accomplishing this difficult feat, later in the year the Sophomores again displayed their ability by their interesting performance in the amusing one- act play Below Par. At the suggestion of the Missionary Board that each class make a special effort to increase the funds of the Association, the Sophomores, with their usual quick spirit of cooperation, provided the college with a complete day of original enfertainment. The Sophomore Class Hockey Team made a remarkably fine showing during fhe season and tied the Freshmen Team, sharing with them the honor of being considered fhe champions of fhis sporf. The Sophomore Basketball Team won the cup this sea¬ son; it is evident that in the field of athletics as well as in the fields of other collegiate activities the Sophomores have won a fine name for themselves.

VIRGINIA CRAIGIE, ' 37. [ 77 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER The Freshman Class After the exhausting experiences of Freshman Week and the refreshing hospitality of the Junior Tea, the Class of ' 37 became an integral part of the College. Jane Moran was elected President and Mary Archer, Vice-President. Then the Freshmen enter¬ tained the College with their unusually clever and original Freshman Frolics. The dramatic ability of such members of their class as Mary Martha Nokley and Laura O ' Farrell, and their excellent performance in that popular one-act play Sham, had much to do with the Juniors and Freshmen winning the sister-class play contest. The Freshmen again contributed to the social life of the College as well as to the Treas¬ ury of the Missionary Association when they presented their Miniature Metropoli¬ tan. The enthusiasm with which this exhibition was received was well deserved. In the field of athletics the Freshmen made an excellent showing. They succeeded in tying the Sophomores in the inter-class hockey games, and in basketball they held second place.

Student Government During this year, as during all other years, Student Government has shown itself to be not only the leading organization in the College but also the most potent force for social good among the students. The members of fhe Sfudenf Governmenf Com- mitfee are fhe Presidenfs of all fhe classes, and fhe vice-presidenf of the Senior Class, all of whom are elected by the student body. They are assisted by the proctors whom they appoint. Under the wise leadership of Mary Derham, the President of the Senior Class, and with the valuable help of Mother O ' Byrne, representing the faculty, Student Government acts for the general welfare of the College by enforcing rules and regulations and by co-operating and aiding in all college activities. Student Government was assisted this year, as it was last by the College Welfare Committee, whose duty it is to promote cooperation between faculty and students and to support Student Government in the College. This committee is composed of the following: Mother Green, Dean of the College and Chairman of the Commit¬ tee: Mother Lecroix, Mother Benziger, Mother McCarthy, Mother O ' Byrne, Mother Patterson, Mother Schroen, Mary Derham, Keith Jenkins, Ruth Slattery, Elizabeth Donnelly, Peggy Krull, Ruth Whalen. THE TOWER 1934 ESSAY BOARD Standing, left to right—Lucille Corral, Mary Alice Mangan, Teresa Cohalan, Alice Riley. Seated, left to right—Ruth Cunningham, Keith J enkins (Editor-in-Chief), Patrice Donovan (Business Manager). The Essay This year the ESSAY has continued the policy of printing the best and only the best of essays, poetry and short stories, produced by the students of Manhattanville. It is not surprising, therefore, that its January issue contained such well-finished, pol¬ ished, clever writings. We expect as much of the June number. We have come to look forward to the regular semi-annual appearances of the ESSAY, for we know that when we open it, we shall find reading well worth the while. It has come to be a goal much to be desired, a prize to be attained to those who have the good fortune to be able to grind out, by dint of much effort, some small masterpiece. How hopefully we send it forth and how sadly we welcome it back! But attached to it we find the clear, precise, helpful criticisms of the 1 members of the Board. This criticism is usually so encouraging that, inspired by new hope, we begin all over again. The Board, which is at once composed of literary tyrants and encouraging ad¬ visers, is headed by Keith Jenkins, as Editor-in-Chief. The other editors of the ESSAY are: Ruth Cunningham, Lucille Corral, Mary Alice Mangan, Alice Riley and Teresa Cohalan. Patrice Donovan is the Business Manager. [ 83 ] 1934 THE TOWER THE MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION Standing—Christine Heffernan (President). Seated, Left to Right—Ruth Taggart (Freshman Representative), Lucille Corral (Treasurer), Geraldine Noonan (Secretary), Elizabeth Wilmot (Junior Representative), Nancy Bremner (Sophomore Representative). The Missionary Association Manhattanville has reason to feel proud of the work done by the Missionary Associa¬ tion this year. At a time when most charitable organizations were narrowing their efforts because of financial stress, ours has been unusually active. Christine Heffernan ' s tact and zeal have been in large measure responsible for this, and she has proven herself an ideal President, possessing the valuable gift of being able to rally and organize her co-workers. Thanks to her efforts and those of Mother Benziger, the faculty adviser, who seems to have an inexhaustible fund of original and practical suggestions, there has been a renewal of interest in Manhattanville ' s special charge, the Barat Settlement, and in the Catechism classes begun last year in The Church of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. There has been an impetus to individual activity in both these fields and in the opportunity given the students to visit schools and hospitals, and to sew and knit for the missions—an impetus which is part of Manhattanville ' s re¬ spon se to the Holy Father ' s appeal for Catholic Lay Action. We have heard several distinguished visitors speak on the work being done by the Church in different parts of the world. We felt particularly honored in being addressed by Monsignor Bernard O.S.B., Vicar Apostolic of the Bahamas, in behalf of his be¬ loved parishioners. Father Brosnan, as representative of the Propagation of The Faith, re-enlisted our aid to the missionaries of the whole world, while Father Garesche gave us a vivid picture of the conditions under which members of the Catholic Medical Missions labor, augmenting the zeal of the Freshmen, who prepare gauze and bandages to help remedy their need for surgical supplies. Father Keller, of Maryknoll, by his talk strengthened the admiration which the College has long felt for his confreres in China. Inspired perhaps by these talks, and impressed by the need to add to the society ' s budget which has been hard pressed to meet the many urgent appeals sent it from home and abroad, each class has carried out a scheme by which it could swell the funds. These schemes have been as ingenious as they were successful in their contribution to the work of this worthy association. [ 84 ] ■ ■ THE TOWER ♦ 1934 CATHOLIC ACTION COMMITTEE Left to right—Jane Hassett (Junior Representative), Mary Byles (Senior Representative), Rosemary McCann (Sophomore Representative). Catholic Action The Catholic Action Committee has carried out a most noteworthy and active pro¬ gram this year. The first forum was held on November 14. Rosemary McCann gave a resume of Catholic Action in the College for the past year. Mary Byles spoke on Present Day Catholic Action and What We Should Do. Mrs. Francis Sheed concluded with an inspiring lecture on the value of good reading for Catholics. The second forum took place on December 12. The general subject was Standards in Literature and the Theatre. Jane Fisher spoke on Standards in the Cinema. The second speech was given by Leo Diehl on The Catholic ' s Attitude Towards the Modern Novel. Mary Elisabeth Cunneen spoke on Catholics and Catholic Books. In conclusion, the Reverend Father James M. Gillis, C.S.P., who assisted at the forum, gave a forceful address on Standards, and congratulated the speakers on their thorough grasp of the subject. During the week of March 1-7, a book exhibit illustrating the Catholic Philosophy of Life was sponsored by the Catholic Action Committee of the College, composed of Mary Byles, chairman, Jane Hassett and Rosemary McCann, under the direction of Miss Maria Calvo, the faculty adviser. The books were on display, by courtesy of the publishers, in the Reading Room. The exhibit was arranged according to the sub¬ ject matter; each classification being related to the general subject of the Catholic Philosophy of Life as follows: Religion: The Base; Philosophy: The Analysis; Literature: The Expression; History: The Record; Biography: Viewpoints; Social Sciences: The Application; Art: The Interpretation. The exhibit was open each day and at five o ' clock there was a talk by a dis¬ tinguished speaker, to which many invitations were extended to the general public. The great success of this book exhibit promises similar activities of the Catholic Action Committee. [ 85 ] 1934 ♦ THE TOWER DEBATING CLUB Standing—Mary Byles (President). Sitting—Rosemary McCann (Corresponding Secretary), Keith Jenkins (Vice-President), Zaida Jones (Recording Secretary). Debating Club With Mother Tenney as faculty adviser, Miss Cave as the new Director, and Mary Byles as President, the Debating Club has had a most successful year. In the begin¬ ning of the season, Rosemary McCann was elected Corresponding Secretary, and Zaida Jones, Recording Secretary. A mathematical method of voting was introduced by Miss Cave and it has proved to be a more exact standard for the club. The members were for the most part allowed to choose the subjects for their debates, after the first meeting, when the list of resolutions for the term was an¬ nounced. Many excellent and interesting debates have marked the eighth season of the Debating Club. The public debate is scheduled to take place in May, and the subject for the debate is: Resolved: That the Puritan influence has been beneficial to American moral, cultural and political life. Those who have been elected to speak are: Affirmative Mary Byles Keith Jenkins Rosemary McCann Negative Elizabeth Donnelly Sallie O ' Donoghue Ann Murray Alternates Claire Caughlan Leo Diehl [ 86 ] THE TOWER ♦ 1934 The best speaker in this debate has the honor of having her name inscribed on the Debating Club Plaque. Mary Byles merited that honor last year, and was the third member to be so honored, the other two being Honora McGrath, ' 32, and Margaret Martin, ' 32. The following program includes the formal debates of the year: October 10—Resolved: That the talking picture will eventually eliminate the legiti¬ mate stage.

Seated, Left to Right—Suzette Schwiers (Freshman Representative), Geraldine Noonan (Junior Representative),. Betty Cavanaugh (Sophomore Representative). The Glee Club This year the Glee Club has had for its president the talented Catherine Flynn, and ' has shown the benefits of her excellent management and support by the delightful per¬ formances it has given on various special occasions during fhe year. The Club meets once a week with its faculty adviser, Mother McCarthy, to prepare concerts for enter¬ tainments and holiday celebrations. Every year on the last evening before the vaca¬ tion at Christmas, the members of the Club sing carols in the quadrangle, serenading the rest of the college with the lovely songs of the Christmas season. They sang again for the feast wishes celebration for Reverend Mother; supplying at this time the only musical entertainment. After Easter the Club produced an Operetta, Trial by Jury, by Arthur Sullivan. The cast included: Judge . Bride . Counsel for Plaintiff ...Margy Ryan .Carol Dooley ...Ann Murray Defendant Dora Gallagher Foreman of the Jury.Mary Mulligan Usher.Imelda Choquette The performance was greatly enjoyed by the college, and the deatening ap¬ plause was indeed well deserved. [ 89 ] 1934 THE TOWER  THE THUMB TACK CLUB Left to Right—Jane Hassett (Vice-President), Grace Corral (President), Margaret Woollett (Secretary). The Thumb Tack Club One of the most favored clubs in the College is the Thumb Tack Club. Its duties are to make posters and to arrange scenery and costumes for dramatic exhibitions. It fosters an interest in the art of the moderns and the old masters, and promotes art lectures and private exhibitions. The club entertained the College last June with an unusual exposition, A Tour Through Egypt, which provided an evening of entertainment for us all. This year with the opening of the Band Box, they provided a night of amusement which was called A Preview of the Costumes for the Beaux Arts Ball. And for Mother Gen¬ eral ' s holiday they plan to present to the College, The Historic Pageant of Early Maryland, which suggests another enjoyable evening ' s entertainment. [ 90 ] THE TOWER ♦ 1934 DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS Left to Right—Marlon Sullivan (Secretary-Treasurer), Rosalie Breen (Vice-President), Jane Fisher (President), Polly O ' Donnell (Manager). The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club has had a most successful year under its President, Jane Fisher, and under the valuable instruction of Mrs. James Duane Livingston, and its faculty adviser, Mother O ' Byrne. A new course in dramatics was inaugurated this year and a regular class in Life Process of Dramatics is held on Monday afternoons for an hour and a half; and the members are made to enter the dramatic field and act accordingly. The course has proved very entertaining and helpful in developing dramatic talent and we look forward to the continuation of this course. The Club has given many and varied entertainments during the year, ranging from the most detailed play to a hilarious impromptu scene, W. C. Fields being the inspiration for one of these lighter entertainments. For the President ' s Holiday, the Goddess of Ghosts was presented, a very delightful six-act pfay, with Sallie O ' Donoghue, Margy Ryan, Poly O ' Donnell, Claire Caughlan, and Miriam Schmid, Leo Diehl and Eileen Leahy taking the parts. The performance was well acted and deserved all of the congratulations received. The Sister-Class Play Competition afforded the Junior-Freshman Company the opportunity to carry off the winning colors with their performance of Sham, an engaging one-act play, with Eileen Leahy, Sallie O ' Donoghue, Laura O ' Farrell and Mary Martha Nokely carrying their class colors to victory. The Club has planned to present to the College on May 16, that ever loved and charming play, Little Women, with the following cast: Mrs. March Mr. March Jo . Meg . Amy . Beth . ..Patrice Donovan Katherine Harvey ...Polly O ' Donnell .Rosalie Breen .Eileen Leahy ..Mary McCarthy Laurie . John Brooke Mr. Lawrence Prof. Bhaer ... Aunt March . Hannah . Loretto O ' Connell .Jane Fisher .Mary E.

The officers elected were: Janet Hill, president, Catherine Maguire, vice-president, and Helena McParlan, secretary. The Club looked forward with enthusiasm to an interesting schedule under the helpful super¬ vision of its faculty members. Many informal meetings during the year were planned, to be held in the Lower Lecture Room. At the first of these, November twenty-sec¬ ond, Mr. Mira discussed Infinity, giving the theories which maintain that a mathe¬ matical infinity exists, and his reasons for believing that it does not. Another meeting took place on Thursday evening, February fifteenth, at which Mr. Mira cleared up any confused ideas of his interested listeners on the subject of Limits. The Clavian Club is awaiting with pleasant anticipation the speeches of Cath¬ erine Flynn, and Rita Larkin, which have been promised in the near future. All the members of the Club are to be congratulated upon their interest and co-operation in the consideration of the intricate mathematical and scientific problems which demand their attention.

The Classical Club The Classical Club, under the leadership of Virginia Kelly and the guidance of Mother Schroen and of Professors Holsapple and Woods, offers to students advanced Latin and Greek, and the opportun ' ty to mingle in the exalted, rarefied air where breafhe the ancients. To join the club, one must offer some composition relating to the Classics, which must be approved by the members of the club. A Latin poem might be proffered, or an interesting account of Roman life, or an amusing playlet laid in ancient Greece. Whatever it may be, we are sure that each composition will be suitably classical. This year, the members of The Classical Club are presenting a dramatization of three of Vergil ' s Eclogues. These Latin Pastorals will be prefaced by a dialogue in English, cleverly written by Elizabeth Wilmot, which takes place between Leo Diehl, as John Dryden, the great Seventeenth Century student of the Classics, and Mary Alice Mangan, as Dryden ' s patron. The shepherds in the Eclogues will be: Mary Der¬ ham, Dritha Duffy, Josephine Houlihan, Mary McCarthy, Marion Sullivan, and Kath¬ leen Whitfield.

El C lub Espanol Las reuniones mensuales del Club Espanol son realmente un encanto para las estudi- antes de los Cursos Superiores, y para todas aquellas que tienen la buena fortuna de poseer la hermosa lengua de Santa Teresa. Estas reuniones tienen siempre sorpresas agradables en el orden literario festivo, social y aun para la parte prosafco de la vida: buen cafe de Puerto Rico, y deliciosos mantecados. Pero, en el Club hay tambien talentos dramaticos, bien los vimos el 7 de marzo. Que hubo ana fiesta espanola que consistio en dos pequenos represer.taciones. Una fue Una Pagina de la Vida de Santa Magdalena Sofia cuando era nina, estudi- ando bajo la direccion de su hermano Luis. Anita Figueredo era Santa Magdalena Sofia y nos dio una hermosa inferprefacion de la inteligencia de la verfud de obedi- encia que la joven Magdalena Sofia posefa. Lucila Corral compenetro admirablemenfe el caracter austero grande de Luis. Haciendo contrasto como genero dramatico, el segunda numero del programa fue una comedia sumamenfe diverfida. Es la hisforia de un joven Norte-Americano que no sabfa hablar espanol y como consecuencia de su ignorancia, enconfro serias dificulfades, que interesan al auditorio grandemente. La mezcha de Ingles y Espanol hizo la sifuacion del joven Norte Americano aun mas ridfcula, despues la pieza fue unanimemente considerada un Success. Los principales carateres fueron: Keifh Jenkins que estuvo inimifable como tambien Gracia y Mary Jo Corral, y Clare Howe que hicieron refr y refr a todo el publico.

Le Cercle Francais Les membres du Cercle Francais sont tous du meme avis quant aux conferences de chaque semaine. Leurs discussions sur I ' art, les mouvements politiques modernes, et d ' autres evenements courants, sont surtout interessantes au point de vue intellectuel. Cependant, ce qui a eu le plus d ' interet pour les etudiantes qui ont specialise dans I ' etude de I ' art dramatique franqais, fut la representation de la tragedie de Racine: Iphigenie . A la demande reiteree de plusieurs professeurs du dehors, les actrices ont repete la tragedie pour le public, au profit des Missions. De sorte que elle fut rejouee le vendredi 16 Mars, et nous avons vu le theatre tout rempli d ' admirateurs de la litterature classique. Les tendres et nobles vers de Jean Racine furent declames avec une grande comprehension des nuances infinies de la belle langue de ce grand poete. Sur la scene classiquement tendue de gris perle, la couche royale, I ' armure d ' or du chef de la coalition grecque, mettaient des taches etincelantes. Isabelle McCafferty eut peut— etre, au dire des critiques, autant de grace et plus dame que la fameuse Champmesle. Keith Jenkins, dans le role d ' Agamemnon, a joue parfaitement en faisant preuve d ' une grande memoire dans un long role fatigant. Sallie O ' Donoghue a ete egalement applaudie dans le role d ' Achille, ainsi que Mary Derham, et Virginia Seymour, qui jouaient ceux d ' Ulysse et de Clytemnestre; Patrice Donovan a reproduit fidelement le caractere difficile et complexe d ' Eriphile, at Margaret Myers a rempli avec dignite et comprehension le role de serviteur fidele d ' Agamemnon. Les autres personnages etaient: Doris—Julia d ' Antona Cgine—Mary McCarthy Eurybate.Elinore Graham Compagnes d ' lphigenie Marjorie O ' Conner Jane Fisher Carmen Ramirez Betty Bruce Ainsi, la Classe de 1934 est fiere d ' avoir pu donner, avec autant de succes, si ce n ' est plus que ses devancieres, la 14 ieme des representations classiques qu ' a vues !e theatre du College.

Lo scopo del circolo essendo di perfezionare la conversazione Italiana, e a questo che si pensa prima di tutto, anzi per I ' anno corrente e Tunica cosa che si e fatta. Benche le studenti abbiano avuto delle buone intenzioni e molta iniziativa, non sono riuscite nei loro progetti perche sembra che si divertano piu a discuterli che non a ese guirli. Si pub dire pero, che se non hanno dato rappresentazioni come negli anni precedenti, si sono tutte lanciate nel parlare la bella lingua italiana, e se un giorno visiteranno la bella Italia, si troveranno certamente al loro agio colla lingua. Per ora le ragazze hanno delle conversazioni amichevoli, cioe i sogetti non sono preparati. Parlano di cose di ogni giorno; raccontano tutto quel che credono possa interessare e divertire, ed hanno delle discussioni che delle volte ci lasciano I ' impressione di aver scoperto un giovane e promettente Demostene. L ' inglese per questo circolo e una lingua assolutamente sconosciuta e non e permesso di parlare altro che italiano. Quando fa bel tempo le ragazze vanno fuori a I ' aria aperta per le classi, e questo rende ancora piu piacevoli le loro riunioni. Le socie di quest ' anno sono le signorine Leonarda Bobois, Carmen Ramirez, Giulia Emma Joy e Isabella McCafferty. d ' Antona, Anna Cocuzza, Luisa Byles, [ 96 ] Athletics THE TOWER ♦ 1934 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Standing, left to right—Peggy Krull (Sophomore Representative), Sallie O ' Donoghue (Junior Representative), Connie Dillon (Junior Representative), Marian Shale (Freshman Representative). Sitting, left to right—Madeleine Pascual (Manager), Miss Winifred Williams (Directress of Athletics), Mary Alice Mangan (President). Athletic Association The smooth efficiency with which the small and seemingly easy details of Manhat- tanville ' s athletic affairs have been managed is a fact in itself a proof of the neces¬ sary attention of each officer of the A. A.; this is due not only to the helpful co-operation of Mother Schroen, the Faculty Adviser, and to the capable direction of Miss Winifred Williams, but also to the interest and sense of responsibility of each member, working with Mary Alice Mangan, President of the A. A., and Made¬ leine Pascual, its able Manager. The A. A. encourages and helps the Varsity Hockey and Varsity Basketball teams, as well as the Swimming Club and Tennis team; at the same time the class represen¬ tatives show enthusiasm for the progress of the various class teams. Like the basketball and hockey teams of this year, last year ' s tennis team remained undefeated in all its matches—a record of which Manhattanville can be proud, since it is the first time in nine years that the college has seen both the hockey and basketball teams unde¬ feated, preceded by a most successful tennis season. We have every reason to hope that the tennis team will this year travel in the triumphant footsteps of its predecessor. Perhaps t he most interesting and the most colorful of the social activities of the Association are the two Annual Banquets, given for those who have completed the requirements in hockey and basketball. Both were carefully planned, well attended, and enthusiastically remembered. The meetings of the A. A. were in a large measure responsible for the success of everything that the Association undertook, for at these meetings past accomplish¬ ments were reviewed and future duties were assigned to the individual members.

It is no exaggeration to say that this was one of the most successful seasons Manhattanville has ever witnessed; since every encounter proved spectacular—in the almost machine-like teamwork, passing and shootinq, as well as in the alertness of the individual. The St. Joseph ' s game and our meeting with the Carroll Club were the high points of our schedule, and the fact that the team was undefeated is well deserving of congratulations, tor the season ended with the same manifestation of fighting spirit as marked its beginning. The scores of the following games are a proof of the interest shown: Hunter—I I .Manhattanville—54 Mt. St. Joseph ' s—9 ....... .Manhattanville—45 Carroll Club—23 .Manhattanville—36 St. Joseph ' s (Brooklyn)—9.Manhattanville—49 Philadelphia Cricket Club—18 .Manhattanville—57 The Basketball Banquet was held after Easter and was universally acknowledged a scene of gaiety, to the enjoyment of all. The guests of honor were: Mary Kay O ' Con¬ nor, Margaret Martin, Geraldine Treacy, and Margaret Bannin, four distinguished alumnae and former basketball players, and Miss Winifred Williams, who mentioned that this is the first time Manhattanville has had both an undefeated hockey team, and an undefeated basketball team. Mary Alice Mangan and Madeleine Pascual received gold basketballs, as a reward for playing four years on the Varsity; the Manager ' s pin was presented to Jane Hassett, while the team thanked Madeleine who had proved a perfect Captain.

The game proved an interesting and well-balanced one, resulting in a splendid victory for Man- hattanville, with the close score of 2-1. In spite of the fact that only three games were played during the season, we feel that it was highly successful in restoring our good record, since all three teams gave us strong opposition, worthy of an after-feeling of accomplishment. The schedule of games was as follows: All New York—I.Manhattanville—5 North Jersey—I.Manhattanville—2 Long Island—2. .Manhattanville—3 The Long Island game was the most exciting of the entire season. The field was a sea of mud, but the natural hazards seemed to add interest to the playing; the ball see-sawed from the backs to the forward line, and it was not till the last minute that we were certain of winning. Varsity letters were awarded to the following: Peggy Krull .Right Wing Sallie O ' Donoghue .

Reverend Mother presented the awards: Varsity letters to members of the Hockey Team, as well as numerals, to those who played on Class Teams; The Hockey Cup, which was won by the Sophomores and the Freshmen; a gold hockey pin to Mary Alice for her four years of excellent and dependable playing on Varsity. Mary Derham was unanimously acclaimed and thanked for leadership, as Captain; and Eileen Leahy re¬ ceived a double reward for her ability as Manager—the Manager ' s pin, and the Captaincy for next year.
