' ■ - ' Kfc5 ::3333 r i. i I 1 1 1 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOB CLASS ' T ' MERRIMACK COLLEGE w II NOBTH ANDOVEB, MASSACHUSETTS TRUSTEES The last meeting of the Trustees over which the late Very Reverend Father Pro- vincial, Joseph M. Dougherty, O.S.A., presided: Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Very Reverend John B. Martin, O.S.A., Very Reverend James M. Hurley, O.S.A., Father Provincial, Very Reverend Patrick J. Campbell, O.S.A., and Reverend Thomas F. Walsh, O.S.A. Another most important milestone in Merrimack College’s brief history was reached on April 19, 1954, when the Most Reverend Archbishop of Boston, Richard J. Cushing, broke ground for the new chapel dedicated to Christ the Teacher. Here the Archbishop is seen with a part of the crowd present for the historic ceremonies. o m The Very Reverend Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., S.T.D., Rector- Provincial of the Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova, is Chair- man of the Board of Trustees. A former college professor him- self before assuming high office in the Augustinian Order, Father Greenlee has manifested a strong personal interest in the develop- ment of Merrimack College. 5 The rugged green countryside of New England, so well known for its colleges and universities, dynamic industries and research centers, became the home of Merrimack Col- lege in 1947. A young institution under the guidance of the centuries-old Order of St. Augustine, Merrimack College is the product of the faith which the people of the Merri- mack alley have in the new generation. It stands now, alert to the needs of a present-day America that is crying out for leadership, educating young men and women to be leaders who will employ the teachings and ideals of Christ in their lives. But how did it come to be that on this site where Abiel Wilson, a Cod-fearing farmer of the hard soil of New Eng- land, struggled generations ago, plowing and reaping on his small farm, we now see handsome Colonial brick build- ings and wide roads, cowled figures and hundreds of active students busy in intellectual pursuits? How was it possible that Merrimack College came to be the manifestation of a monumental faith in the youth of the area? The idea for the founding of a college arose in 1946, out of the deliberations of a Haverhill labor-management group, headed by Mr. J. Leo Cronin. With thousands of returning veterans overtaxing college facilities in the nation, the group resolved to broaden its industrial relations program, and undertake the erection of a suitable college in the north of Boston. They laid their plans before the Right Reverend, and now Bishop, Jeremiah F. Minihan, who was at that time Secretary of His Excellency, Richard J. Cushing. They found a ready friend and ally in the Archbishop. His Excellency secured the Augustinians from Villanova to found and staff the proposed college. Under the inspiring leadership of the Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., who was designated President in December, 1946, the project was launched with the construction of a long, E-shaped classroom building on Peters Street, below Wil- son’s Corner, North Andover. On September 29, 1947, amidst hammers and saws and fresh cement, the first class of Merrimack College, consisting of 165 men, was under way. On September 29, 1952, Archbishop Cushing solemnly blessed the new campus, and dedicated the buildings in an impressive ceremony. This marked the end of the first phase of Merrimack’s expansion program, a time of saws and hammers, scaffoldings and bricklaying; it ushered in a quieter time of gradual expansion and beautification. Wide, smooth roadways now unite the various buildings and park- ing areas; sweeping expanses of grass, bordered with native shrubs and trees now enhance the hilltop site of the campus. Students arriving in the early morning find a place of quiet dignity and serenity, heightened by the natural beauty of its s etting. This was the start of a most ambitious undertaking. Even in the midst of postwar inflation and uncertainty, tremen- Pp. dous faith was shown by the people of the area, of all , faiths, who helped the new college over the rough pioneer | years. Witness the Merrimack Association, composed of - parents and friends of the college, who organized a huge i Penny Sale in 1948 at the Lawrence Memorial Stadium, which raised funds for the construction of a gymnasium. ? Over eight thousand friends and volunteer associates of the L college conducted a nine-month drive for funds, covering all -the Northeastern Massachusetts and succeeded in raising [k well over a million dollars. The work of these volunteers is Ef ‘being carried on today by a group of devoted friends and ' businessmen known as the Men of Merrimack. With the funds available from the drive, construction ; K; was begun immediately on the upper campus. On Sep- ■ K- tember 29, 1948, ground was broken for a modern, thor- Kf oughly equipped Science Building. Cushing Hall, as it was K ' ‘named in honor of our beloved patron, was ready for occu- K pancy in late 1949. By September, 1951, the Liberal Arts K Building, Sullivan Hall, was completed. Summer of 1952 saw the completion of porticoed Austin Hall, the faculty- administration building. r- f r f ct f i Hi The noonday sun shows a scene of intense activity and interest. For the role of a college is to teach, to develop the latent possibilities in its students. Merrimack utilizes diver- sified curricular and extracurricular activities to develop the well-rounded individual. Admidst Engineering students employing transits and slide rules. Liberal Arts students plumbing the depths of the Humanities, Business Admin- istration majors analyzing graphs and figures. Secretarial Science students learning the intricacies of complex office equipment. Biology students dissecting specimens in the Labs, one will find tomorrow’s leaders. Intramural sports are in session on the extensive grounds or in the gymnasium; Student Council meetings are hearing the cases of student violators; political discussion groups are debating the pros and cons of governmental policies. Radio panels record broadcasts for public distribution; the Holy Name Frater- nity plans its projects to aid orphans and hospitals; the Sodality of Our Mother of Good Counsel recites the Rosar in the chapel of Austin Hall. The beehive of intellectual, spiritual, and physical activity is remarkable indeed, but what elevates it out of the commonplace is the fact that all of it is centered around the precepts of the Catholic religion laid down by Christ for all men. On April 19, 1954, the Feast of Christ the King, His Excellency Archbishop Cushing once more returned to his beloved Merrimack College to break ground for the new Collegiate Chapel of Christ the Teacher. A gift from the Archbishop himself, the large modem chapel will provide a permanent and fitting home for the religious exercises of the college and will stand as a symbol of the centrality of Christ in a Catholic college. Our Campus Expands SULLIVAN HALL — Arts and Business .rU ku . 4clmc«U tn tcm The name of the Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D. is synonymous with the birth and growth of Merrimack College. The first President and guiding genius of this institution of higher learning, his breadth of vision coupled with masterful administration has accomplished the realization of a dream. The Reverend Joseph J. Gildea, O.S.A., Ph.D. is Dean of the Faculty and Director of the Division of Arts and Sciences. Director of high academic policy, no professorial or student problem is too insignificant for his personal, sympathetic atten- tion. Here is truly a holy Priest, a perfect gentle- man. DONALD R.

The individual attention stressed in the close teacher-student relationship of Merrimack’s small classes is something never fully understood by those who have not had the opportunity to attend a small college. Classroom work is dwarfed, however, by the hours of prepa- ration necessary to complete thoroughly the required work. Deep in concentration, these students prepare for tomorrow — the tomorrow” they have awaited four long years. The bond between teacher and student is especially evident in this seminar scene. Seminar classes, where students are urged to express themselves freely, are a beneficial and interesting ap- proach to liberal education. Students planning to en- ter the Business field can supplement their train- ing by seeking advice. Placement Director Sim- eon LeGendre interview s an interested Senior. Senior Jay Martin gains valuable administrative and technical experience by teaching fundamen- tals of Accounting to Freshmen during a Lab session. Typing ability is an in- valuable asset to any businessman. Dick Ber- nardin practices keyboard drills to supplement the typing course instruction. Business Administration The distinguishing characteristic of Merrimack’s School of Business is that here the students undertake a curriculum which includes not only the basic business subjects but also philosophy and the arts. The purpose is to give eaeh stu- dent a well-rounded background so that he may succeed in the art of living a full, more useful life. 19 Ufa Engineering During the past four years since the Fall of 1951, the Division of Engineering has grown rapidly and now offers courses in both Civil and Electrical Engineering. Tlnoughout their four college years, the student engineers are trained in the basic engineering sciences with the ultimate aim of learning to apply these fundamental con- cepts to the varied problems encountered in the life of a professional engineer. From concept to design, each step of an engineer’s plan is expressed by the draftsman. The analysis of fluids in motion with respect to various flow conditions in the distributing lines is undertaken by this group of student engineers . The elements of surveying require much field practice; of weather, the engineers are there! regardless ' - t ' 4 fi f®W ■ T ed and weighed by afternoon of Phy«cs Mow what oia the temperature begins A high degree of concentration is demanded of the student of chemis- try. In four years he takes the vari- ous steps through analysis and syn- thesis until he has achieved a basic awareness of the techniques, the state of knowledge, and the problems in his field of specialization. He sub- mits as well to the other branches of scientific discipline and, because he is in a liberal arts college, he is not allowed to neglect the humanities.

By examining an actual skeleton, these students realize the importance of even the smallest bone in the human skeletal system. Pre-Medical Pre-Dental microscope aids in the recognition, identijfica- and study of the different types of battria, and other minute phenomena. Summer and Evening Sessions Part-time sessions at Merrimack are di- vided between courses during the summer months and evening classes during the reg- ular school year. Adult education is the primary concern of the Evening Division. Here ambitious rep- resentatives of all walks of life devote their evening hours to intellectual pursuits. The rewards are Associate Degrees in Arts or Bus- iness Administration, or Certificates in Sec- retarial Science. Summer classes afford educational oppor- tunities to those whose work allows them little time during the regular school year. Re- ligious teachers are brought up to date on the latest findings in literature, history and sci- ence; students make up required credits and businessmen learn the new techniques of management. Ah! just the thing to relieve that dryness on hot sweltering days in summer school. These three students don’t look too unhappy, just anxious for the dismissal bell so they can enjoy a cool, refresh- ing swim. Secretarial Science Although much emphasis is placed on taking, reading, and typing shorthand notes, the effi- cient secretary must be capable of effectively transcribing from machine dictation. Today’s secretarial field is alive with opportunities for skilled personnel who are willing to assume respon- sibility. The two-year and four-year courses at Merri- mack offer adequate facilities for the proper training of secretaries. The students concentrate on the acqui- sition of special skills— typewriting, shorthand, tran- scription, mathematics, and accounting. In addition, they study cultural subjects in order to broaden their horizon. Through a system of electives in advertising. journalism, merchandising, sales management, finance, and marketing the prospective secretary is permitted to obtain an acquaintance with various other fields. This rich curriculum, a staff of experienced professors, and a well-equipped department combine to produce a corps of trained secretaries each year. A constant demand from business and government emphasize the importance of the division. Speed and accuracy is the motto of all secretaries. These two-year secs” are diligently at work striving for greater speed and perfection at the keyboard. The seniors of 1955, glamorous in the eyes of the underclassmen and j intermittently in their own, now must return to freshman status, but in a new environment— the world. The difference is that this time they are equipped with the faith, the philosophy, the special skills, the social aware- ness that come of four years’ involvement with a curriculum which blends general humanistic and scientific knowledge with concentrated training in a chosen specialty. The curriculum, however, has not been all. There have been sports on land and water, trips to the north and the south, tea dances, dinner dances, hops and proms. The graduate has thus learned to compete fairly and to liv graciously in society. Finally, there have been daily and weekly Mass, days of recollection, and annual retreats to call to mind man’s ARTHUR A.

Listen to those questions and answers fly! Jane and Joe Frosh add spice to the Orientation Dance with their version of the Bunny Hop. Bewilderment and amazement were clearly dis- cernible on the faces of the Class of 1958 as they surged “en masse” through the corridors, the class- rooms, and the cafeteria. Beanies and handbooks became the order of the day, and the sudden approach of orientation officers signified impend- ing doom. Class schedules which once seemed so involved soon became clearer while the subjects, especially math and science, became dim. New friendships soon arose as the Frosh and upper- classmen mingled in the social and intellectual affairs of the campus.

Fair weather, a convertible, and no afternoon classes mean a chance for a spur-of-the-moment excursion. There is a certain zest in returning for the Sophomore year. The strangeness of college life has dissipated with confidence borne of experi- ence. The fullness of academic and extracurric- ular life has become un jumbled and the possibili- ties of high education begin to dawn. On the scholastic level advanced courses and a familiar- ity with collegiate procedure renders the routine at once more interesting and more fruitful. Then there is the opportunity to assist the Freshmen in treading their way through the academic maze that once troubled us and the fun of the Orienta- tion Program. The Sophomore Cotillion marks their debut into the formal social functions of their college career. The task of organizing the loose ends of the Freshman year falls to the first class officers in their Sophomore year. Traditionally, the Sophomore-sponsored Orien- tation Dance frees the Freshmen from the yoke of beanies, buttons, and Sophomore domina- tion. ycE Mary Theresa Piazzti (Chickie), caught in a moment of daydreaming.

It was a year in which we studied subjects that oriented our train- ing towards fields in which we intend to concen- trate. On the extracurricular side we followed tradition by virtually “taking charge” of the social events once the Spring term had begun. The social highlight of the semester came when Junior Week— featuring formals, sports day, and parents’ night— proved to be one of the most succ essful in the history of the college. Indeed we have built up a rare camaraderie that will continue through next year and into the future. 54 Ambitious engineer — That’s Kevin Burns as he spends his lunch hour advertising the an- nual Transit Trot.” Mary Ellen seems more interested in her lunch.

Rather it spreads beyond the classroom and gives aim and direction to our whole life. It is of first importance that our religious training be on the same academic level as the rest of our college education. A thorough knowledge of Divine Revelation and a reasoned motivation to put the prin- ciples we have learned into practice is the ultimate purpose of our religious training. Under the guidance of the Augustinian Fathers we have been taught the Catholic way of life. We, the Class of 1955, must step into a world that should recognize the supreme position of God in the universe. We must endeavor to thwart pagan and materialistic beliefs by practicing the principles and high ideals of Catholicism. By so doing we can effectively demonstrate to the world that Christ is indeed “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” V - m: ' ' m ma .... • ' -i l - «r. • sir- ' . • ' J 7. ' m teS Members of the Sodality and Holy Name Society meet monthly for informal com- munion breakfasts on the college campus. Representing the Sodality and Holy Name Society, Ruth Levesque and John Murphy plan religious functions with our chaplain, Father Hannan. Archbishop Cushing offers Benediction on the Feast of Corpus Christi, for the graces and supplications of the student body. rXrf C Dick Hillner and Norman Martin pre- pare the portable confessional for weekly confessions. The Sacrament of Penance is available to all Catholic students at any time. Religion at Merrimack College extends beyond the lecture hall and perme ates directly and indirectly all the activities of college life. The Reverend James Hannan, O.S.A., Chaplain to the College, directs a well-organized and varied religious program which includes daily Mass, frequent opportunity for recep- tion of the Sacraments, weekly sermon, novena de- votions, and recitation of the rosary. The Sodality of Our Mother of Good Counsel and the Holy Name Guild are the chief agencies for the promotion of other allied functions. The erection of the new chapel of Christ the Teacher will be of inestimable value in caring for the needs of an expanding school. Rose Dardano supplies the college religious pamphlet rack with interesting Catholic literature. Km The new chapel dedicated to Christ the Teacher gradually assumes its commanding position on the Merrimack cam- pus. Living Faith The members of the Sodality of Our Mother of Good Counsel acquaint their mothers with the school and with each other at the annual Mother and Daughter Tea. Reverend Paul M. Judson, O.S.A., our retreat master at the annual pre-semester retreat, conducted inspiring conferences for the student body. I BASKETBALL The determined Merrimack Warriors faced the 1954-1955 basketball season with renewed opti- mism. Highlights of the year were the acquisition of new coach, Kevin Harrington; first-year mem- bership in the National Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation; Jay Martin’s forty-two point total in the opener against St. Anselm’s. The happy Warriors reflect confidence prior to their first game against St. Anselm’s as they pose for the Merrimackan photographer.

In legal circles possession is nine-points of the law, but on the basketball court it assumes even greater im- portance. Using his height to great advantage Lou Demetroulakos stakes his claim. Vin Gomes, always elusive, again proves his ball- hawking ability by stealing the ball and racing the length of the court for a lay-up during the Merrimack- Salem game.

Consisting of skiing, sailing, hockey, tennis, and intra- mural basketball, the sports program encom- passes the four seasons, enabling the student to keep athletically active and healthy the year round.

STUDENT COUNCIL Government At Work The most important function of the Student Council is the imitation, within a small frame- work, of the workings of democracy. The spirit of mature self-government is the moving force be- hind the Council’s guidance of student activities. Student experience in working with the Council, or under the superv ision of the council, is valuable for future adjustment in a democratic society. In accordance with these ideals, the Student Council has an organization of committees with each councillor charged with directing one com- mittee. These committees have jurisdiction over the parking area, club constitutions, the blood drive, conditions in the cafeteria and buildings, appointments to the N.F.C.C.S. and sports and social activities. In addition to these activities, a 1954 innova- tion provides for a public relations committee to stimulate newspaper reporting of current activi- ties at Merrimack. The council also established, in 1954, a Campus Fund for Charitable Organiza- tions. The expansion and success of the Student Council reflects the advancement of Merrimack College campus and community life.

The machine that does the work and the man who does the work.” As the classroom is the center of intellectual life on campus so the cafeteria is the center of dis- cussion and conversation. Here, a group of stu- dents discuss the latest edition of the Warrior. The Warrior The purpose and function of a college newspaper is not only to acquaint the student body with all the activities of the college but to provide an outlet for their latent literary talent. It gives students who participate on the paper a chance to work in an organization and learn the funda- mental concept of cooperation which will be invaluable to them in their post-graduate days. To those who do not actively participate, the newspaper provides a necessary link between campus activities and themselves. It affords them an understanding of the work of campus clubs and the paper’s editorials show them what their fellow students think about current problems. If one were to name the primary reason for the main- tenance of a college newspaper, stimulation of thought would undoubtedly be the first choice. In the long run the ultimate purpose of a college education is the exchange and stimulation of ideas. Merrimack’s newspaper functions out of a second floor office in Sullivan Hall. Here, plans for each edition are made at staff meetings held two weeks prior to the deadline date. Completed assignments are later turned over to proof- readers who correct errors before and after the copy is set at the printers. Next, the layout editor and chief editor plan page formats as last minute news items are processed. Finally, the editor discusses final layout plans with the printer and another issue is put “to bed.” Editor-in-Chief Stan Donnelly gathers his staff about him as they formulate plans for next month’s payout and set that all- important deadline date. Fresh from the printers, a new issue of the Warrior is ready for distribution by the Circulation Department, headed by Arthur Archambault and Adele Byron. This is one of the rare occasions when the general staff meets to organize the various departments into a functioning whole. The Merrimackan Each year the Mehrimackan staff has for its goal the creation and publication of a permanent record of a }ear’s highlights and activities— an- other chapter in the history of the college. Each phase of the enterprise has its difficulties. The chapter must not be monotonous, so it is eiilivened with pictures of the students who make the news. Nor must it be disproportionate, so, the yearbook encompasses all the significant events and activi- ties, and allots space to each according to its im- portance in the life of the college. The treat- ment of the chapter must be organized; it is focussed around a central theme. If the requisites of a yearbook are diligently fidfilled, the goal of creation becomes a reality. But the annual must also be published and hence financed. The financ- ing of the Merrimackan is a task that the staff members cannot accomplish themselves. They need the support of patrons and benefactors. They require the aid of those who are altruistically interested in the development of the college in general and the yearbook in particular. This year we are proud to say the goal has been achieved once again. We of the staff have written another chapter of Merrimack history but we used for our ink the cooperation of the students and the generous patronage of our benefactors. 74 u Business Manager Leo Bergeron supervises his hardworking staff. These co-eds take care of all cor- respondence, contributions, pay- ments, and records necessary to maintain an efficient organization.

The meeting was held in the city council chamber of the Haverhill town hall. and Political Science The Sociology and Political Science Discussion Clubs combined functions this year with the hope of showing that, in practice, government cannot be separated from the social welfare of the people. Under the direction of Professor James St. Germain the group made visits to nearby cities to study local government. Professor Paul M. Shea also conducted field trips to state remedial institutions for sociological case studies. Among their many activities, the members of the clubs visited the Major’s office in Lawrence, Massa- chusetts, the office of the city mana- ger in Haverhill, Massachusetts, the Tewksbury State Infirmary. The group also interviewed Mayor John Buckley of Lawrence on the radio and took an active part in the state elec- tions by working for their respective party organization. Social-minded members of the Sociology and Political Science Discussion Clubs prepare for one of their bi-weekly visits to nearby institutions. - 1 76 Four members of the Young Democrats get the latest political news from the Times during a brief intermission in the cafeteria. Being well-informed is a prime requisite for participation in political discussions. Young Democrats and Republicans It is not enough to learn merely the ele- ments and principles of political science. As in all phases of education the will to put one’s knowledge into effect is an absolute neces- sity. It was to forward participation in public life that the Young Democrat and Young Re- publican clubs were formed at Merrimack College. Periodic meetings are held to re- view the functioning of party machinery in the United States, to examine the parties’ platform, and to observe the various means used to propagandize the electorate. Mem- bers are urged to participate actively in political campaigns and in “getting out the vote.” By insisting on strict parliamentary procedure and high political ethics, the clubs hope to inculcate a sound training in the ways and means of interesting members in government and so produce responsil)le Cath- olic citizens. A bulletin board notice holds the atten- tion of these Young Republicans as they get the latest word on the political pro- gram of the administration. Regular post- ing of important material keeps members abreast of developments. 77 Literary and Debating Clubs The Austin Debating Society and the Lit- erary Club are student organizations pri- marily designed for educative purposes. The Debating Society, by ha ' ing its mem- bers argue the pros and cons of selected top- ics, seeks to develop in them an ability to use language and logic effectively; and thereby gain poise in public speaking. The Literary Club aims to promote the students’ appreciation of literature through weekly meetings, featuring readings, lec- tures, informal discussions, and playgoing junkets. Both clubs have the common goal of em- phasizing the pleasurable aspects of intel- lectual pastimes, and this is manifested in the enthusiasm of their members. The Literary Club members assemble for the interpreta- tive reading of poems to supplement classroom work. Lectures on foreign litera- tures by members of the fac- ulty and phonograph records of plays are regular features. Many hours of planning and practice are necessary requi- sites for the improvement of arguments and the develop- ment of analytic skill. Here Louise Pothier drives home a point. I The Engineering Guild of the college serves to unite the rapidly growing number of student engi- neers on campus. Through lec- tures given by noted engineers, the students attain a more pro- fessional outlook toward the var- ious phases of engineering sci- ence. and Benzene Ring The functioning of the Benzene Ring revolves around student lectures. Here an aspiring chem- ist presents some of his findings for discussion. Accounting and Business Clubs The Accounting Clul) exists in order to apply and supplement the knowledge gained in the classroom. Professional men frequently visit the club and acquaint the members with the situa- tions and opportunities in the business world. In turn, the club organizes field trips to the offices in the surrounding area, where the members can see professional accountants at work. The Business Club, a new organization on campus this year, includes in its membership the majors in Accounting, Marketing, Business Ad- ministration, Four-Year Secretarial Science, and Economics. The club promotes intercollegiate relations through its affiliation with the student chapter of the American Marketing Association, and this year handled the publicity for the regional con- ference of the Association. On campus, the Club has enabled its members to familiarize themselves with all phases of busi- ness and to adequately express themselves in public. In addition, the Club has held frequent luncheon conferences where featured speakers have kept the members abreast of current business developments. The Accounting Club features regular field trips to nearby busi- ness establishments designed to familiarize the members with practical business procedure. Members here inspect some technical equipment. Officers of the Business Club dis- tribute membership cards to members in good standing. The practical aspects of running an organization serves to train mem- bers for their future place in th business world. h 80 The Choral Society is the oldest organized activ- ity at Merrimack College. Student interest has al- ways been high, and a large number of talented performers has made possible a continued series of excellent concerts. The versatility of the group is indicated by the execution of selections from the masters, cantatas, and musical comedies. The an- nual Spring Concert is the highlight of the musical season. The basic goal of the National Federation of Cath- olic College Students is to develop and coordinate the humanitarian and the intellectual interests of Catholic college students throughout the United States by forming nation-wide projects. On our own campus, the Sociology Club and the International Relations Club, both affiliated with the Federation, provide students with excellent oppor- tunities for fruitful Catholic action. Glee Club and NFCCS Father Wynne, Director of the Choral Society, and Wil- liam McMahon, accompanist, render a piano duet at the Spring Concert held in the Refectory of Austin Hall for a large audience. The supervisory nature of the N.F.C.C.S. demands a great deal of planning and paperwork. Left to Right: John Lee, Bill McKeon, and P hil Doyle discuss organiza- tional plans.
