THIS BRIGHT BEGINNING . Our bright beginning is one of youth, strength, pride and confidence; a foundation on which to build and progress. The youth and strength inherent in our traditions, and the pride of being an intricate part of this expanding institution fosters the confidence in a future that will be as c n t w V 2 V I-kM -m nelm S ' I-k vk Wk • COLLEGE - : ■ NORTH ANDOVER ■ • r - ■ ; ■ MASSACHUSETTS ' ' � ■ PRESENTED BY THE SEN 0 ?

The Knights of the Holy Sepul- cher combine to form an honor guard for the Archbishop. Board of Trustees The Very Reverend Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., S.T.D., Rector Provincial of the Province of St. Thomas of Villanova, is Chairman of the Board of Trustees. A true friend of Merrimack, Father Greenlee brings to his high administrative office a wealth of experience gained through many years in college classrooms. Trustees: Fathers Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., James M. Hurley, O.S.A., the late John B. Martin, O.S.A., Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., Patrick J. Campbell, O.S.A., John J. Daley, O.S.A., and Thomas F. Walsh, O.S.A. A Brief Resume On . . . the Veteran’s Bureau at Villanova, accepted the re- sponsibilities of President of Merrimack College. Father McQuade and the trustees formulated their plans and on April 27, 1947, received the charter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that made Merri- mack College a reality. Construction was begun on the first building of the new college in the summer of 1947. On September 22 at St. Augustine’s Church in Andover, Archbishop Cushing presided over the dedication ceremonies which were celebrated by the Very Reverend Mortimer A. Sullivan, the late Prior Provincial. A week later classes began in Guild Hall which housed class rooms, offices, library and chapel. The first student body con- sisted of one hundred and sixty-five members; the initial faculty numbered fourteen. The desire for accomplishment and the avid spirit of this group resulted in the beginnings of the Fraternity of the Holy Name, the Student Council, the Glee Club, and the Annual Retreat. The following year, 1948, proved to be a successful one. Parents of the students and friends of the college united to organize the Association of Merrimack Col- lege. They wasted no time in proving their sincerity and on June 4, 1948, held a mammoth Penny Sale at the Lawrence Memorial Stadium. Proceeds from the sale were utilized for the construction of a new gym- nasium which was begun in the fall of the same year. How can one relate the history of an institution? The story of Merrimack College is so much more than that. The dreams of so many courageous people, the foresight and driving enthusiasm of His Excellency, Archbishop Richard J. Cushing, and the Augustinian Fathers, the sacrifice and confidence of the business and civic leaders of the Merrimack Valley, the con- tinued and divine guidance and assistance from Christ the Teacher and His Holy Mother — these are the glories of Merrimack. Shortly following the close of World War II, a meet- ing was called of the veteran’s educational panel of a Haverhill Labor-Management Committee under the direction of J. Leo Cronin. The problem in point was the anticipated overflow of students in colleges and universities following the return of thousands of vet- erans seeking higher education. The members of the committee decided that the ideal solution would be a college in the Merrimack Valley. A consultation with the Most Reverend Richard J. Cushing followed. The Archbishop accepted the idea and shortly thereafter announced that the Augustinian Fathers would assume the tremendous task of founding and staffing the newly conceived institution. The Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., a man of boundless energy and dynamic personality, then serving as Chairman of 7 Guild Hall: The parent build- ing of the College has been renovated to serve as the Engin- eering School with an ever ex- panding store of technical equipment. Sullivan Hall: The Liberal Arts building houses the class- rooms and laboratories for Business Administration, Biol- ogy and Nursing courses as well as the canteen and the book- store. Austin Hall: The nerve center of the campus, the faculty resi- dence and administration build- ing contains all the administra- tive offices and the lihrarv. CusHi?4G Hall: The Science Building anchors one end of the quadrangle to he. Here are all the laboratories and scien- tific apparatus needed for the higher courses in Chemistry and Physics. •■Nil . , Scholasticism { ithin The next venture of Merrimack College was a million dollar drive for funds. Through the kindness and generosity of the friends of the Merrimack the drive was eminently successful and, as a result, construction of the campus proper was begun. In September of 1948, ground breaking ceremonies were held for Cush- ing Hall, the new science building. The next few years were years of memorable events and a rapid expansion of the College proper. In June, 1951, Commencement exercises were held for the first graduating class of Merrimack College. Autumn of the same year brought coeducational policies to a stu- dent body which had hitherto been all male. In September, 1951, Sullivan Hall, the Liberal Arts build- ing was ready for occupancy. Austin Hall, the faculty and administration building, was completed in 1952 and on September 29, Archbishop Cushing solemnly blessed the campus and dedicated the new buildings. In April, 1954, the Archbishop returned to preside over the ground breaking ceremonies for the Collegiate Chapel of Christ the Teacher. The Chapel, a gift from Merrimack’s most benevolent friend, the Arch- bishop himself, was dedicated in May, 1955, at a solemn high Mass celebrated by His Excellency. The Chapel, a beautiful and imposing structure, is the phy- sical symbol of the goal toward which all intellectual endeavors are directed. • PRESIDENT The Very Reverend Vincent A. Mc- Quade, O.S.A., Ph.D., President of Mer- rimack College. Taken from the ranks of college professors Father McQuade has directed the founding and building of Merrimack from its inception. A dynamic leader, Father McQuade en- visages ever widening horizons for the College. The Reverend Joseph J. Gildea, O.S.A., Ph.D., is Dean of the Faculty. The aca- demic life of the College is his special province. The relations of the faculty with the administration, and the prob- lems of the individual students are handled with a personal concern and friendliness that is Father Gildea. mDEAN LIBERAL ARTS The professor opens the door, explains the essentials — then it is for the student to discover the treasure lying in the recorded heritage of western civilization. The classics of all periods are at his finger-tips in the quiet, hook-lined study that is the library. liberal arts education is that type of higher learning and cultural advancement which encourages the student to delve into the main fields of knowledge. The curriculum is carefully and specially planned to give the individual a full, well-balanced education. The liberal arts course develops every aspect of the human being, the physical body, the spiritual soul and the intellectual processes of the mind. THOMAS F. WALSH, O.S.A.

Courses in such fields as Organic Chemistry, Quantitative Analysis and Bacteriology are balanced by the study of English Literature, European History and Philosophy. In this manner, the education of the whole man is assured. WILLIAM G. CULLEN, O.S.A.

Broad cultural courses are integrated with concentrations in the fields of Marketing, Accounting, and Busi- ness Management. The objective of such a curriculum is to produce potential executives. Today’s world of business demands such a type; one who can think, who possesses the fundamental professional com- petence, who is alive to the problems of contemporary society, and, most of all, one whose motivation is dominated by the Christian ethical and cultural values upon which our civilization depends. The Business Department attempts to mold the potential “stuff ’ out of whieli successful Inisiness men are made. The results of their endeavors are realized when the B.S. in Business Administration is conferred on Graduation Dav. TIMOTHY J.

Military Academy, 1923 B.S. in C.E., University of Iowa, 1932 M. in Engr., Yale University, 1944 Professor, Civil Engineering With the rapici growth of industry in this country in the past few years, there has arisen a great need for technically trained men and women who are capable of putting to practical use all the new scien- tific discoveries. With this demand for engineers in mind, Merrimack College established a Division of Engineering in the fall of 1951. Since that time, the engineering division has grown by leaps and bounds and now courses are offered in both Civil and Electrical En- gineering. Because Merrimack is also a Liberal Arts College, the humanities are not forgotten and each aspirant engineer is required to elect courses in the fields of Philosophy, History and English as well as courses in Physics, Mathematics and the many and varied engineering subjects.

SECRETARIAL SCIENCE The two year and four year Secretarial Science Courses offer a concentrated and intensive curriculum covering the many aspects of the secretarial field. The prospective secretary acquires proficiency in typing, shorthand, machine calculation, and general office procedure. A proper integration of liberal arts courses provides the broadness of background so necessary in today’s complex civilization. The student enters the business world with the sure confidence of a highly trained professional. VIRGINIA G.

This curriculum offers an excellent opportunity for the nurse to add the study of the humanities to her technical training and enables her to give comprehensive nursing care in institutions and in the home. This group of graduate nurses seem to find the theory of Ward Admin- istration more pleasant than the practice. 22 Night school stuucnts enjoy a luiinorouH discussion while waiting for the next class to hegin.

In the evening, courses are given which lead to Asso- ciate Degrees in Arts or Business Administration and Certifi- cates in Secretarial Science. During the summer months classes are held for students who must make up required courses and for teachers and others who wish to further their education. PART TIME SESSIONS MARY T.

Hence the reason for the co- and extracurricular activities. In plenary session the Student Council thrashes out a pressing problem : M. Barron, R. Yi esson, R. Mackey, R. Langevin, J. McColgan, J. Valeri, J. Baum, E. Silvestri, R. Gilmore, Chairman. STUDENT COUNCIL The parent body of all student activities is the Stu- dent Council. Elected representatives of the three upper classes form a governing board for the regula- tion and coordination of all co-and extracurricula clubs and functions. Its duties include the supervision of club and class elections, the organization of various drives, the enforcement of campus regulations, and the preparation of the annual college calendar. Moreover, it is the final organ of student expression in relation to the college administration on matters of mutual interest. PHILOSOPHY CLUB A recent addition to ex- tra-curricular activity at Merrimack is the Philoso- phy Club, more commonly known as the “INIetaquins.” The club is composed of Liberal Arts majors and also those students whose curriculum does not call for philosophy courses. The purpose of the club is to familiarize its mem- bers with scholastic philoso- phy. These discussions in- evitably stimulate intellec- tual activity and make phil- osophy a topic of “every day” conversation. Don Chabot’s discussion of Aristotle evokes varying responses from the serious- minded members of the Philosophy Club. CADUCEAN CLUB “Caduceans” examine some of the Biology Department’s collection of zoological and botanical exhibits. The Caducean Club was organized by the members of the Biology department in the fall of 1954. The club, un- der the proctorship of Dr. John T. Lawlor, chairman of the De- partment of Biology, sponsors field trips to various hospitals and biological laboratories, supplemented by lec- tures of prominent bi- ologists. Through such activities the members are able to correlate classroom work with science in action. The Merrimack Warrior As an outlet for student literary endeavors and a source of managerial experience the Warrior presents a monthly coverage of newsworthy campus events. Additional color is added by way of such feature items as the colloquial expository “Coed’s Corner,” complete sports coverage under “Sportlite,” the informative “Things Literary,” and the “Chaplain’s Corner.” Edi- Various skills are required for the publication of a college newspaper. These are eonihined in the Edi- torial Board which meets at frequent intervals to assenihle the material to meet the deadline of the torials provide a forum for student expression on sub- jects ranging from politics to philosophy. The Warrior is in one respect a printed document of memorable events, a record of individual and group accomplishment, a sounding board for new ideas, and the most prominent media of campus communication. Warrior: H. Foster, D. Scafard, J. Higgins, J. Mancy, J. Valeri, Editor-in-Chief, F, MacDonald, R. Wesson, R. Gilmore, L.

In preparing the 1956 edition of the “Merrimackan,” the staff has had one paramount aim: to present, in so far as possible, the spiritual, the intellectual, and the social activity at college. This has been accomplished, largely, through a pictorial history of the past year’s events. The Yearbook is for the students, past and present, who are making the College great, and for their rela- tives, and also for prospective students who see a future with us. It is also for those patrons who are interested in knowing how a college is created, how its traditions grow, and the kind of men and women who grow out of it.

The Merrimackan B-r-r-r-r-in — “lUl moider da bum, Boss!” ‘ Listen youse guys, wc can parlay dis Eoiwin character into a 2 ile a dough!” DRAMATICS 32 “All the World’s a Stage,” and indeed, there are many parts to be played. The “On Stagers” of Merrimack College have imbibed the thespian spirit of the great dramatists — a tradition of all institutions of higher learning. From the design of stage settings to the intri- cacies of plot characterization, the dramatic society of the College has systematically applied itself. This past year has seen two major productions hit the boards: “The Gentleman from Athens” directed by Mr. Thomas Quinlan, and “Three Men on a Horse” directed by Father Francis X. Smith, O.S.A. “Honest, dear. Sweet Marie and Lucky Lulu are only horses!” “Chee, Patsy, ya didn’t lose da ten grand, didja?” Supplementing formal couses with informal discussions, the members of the Business Club familiarize themselves with current business trends. The Board of Governors meets to appraise “Tammany” Cleary’s bookkeeping. ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS CLUBS The “Executive Suite” in Room 105. This is the purpose of the Merrimack College Busi- ness Club. Students majoring in economics, marketing, business administration, accounting, and secretarial science are afforded an oppor- tunity through this organization to supplement class discussions with informal talks given by prominent businessmen and by field trips to local offices. These activities are aimed to- wards familiarizing the student with new trends and preparing him to cope with the problems of the business world. The members of the Accounting Club meet to formulate plans for a series of field trips to in- dustrial establishments. 34 POLITICAL SCIENCE Professor St. Germain ' s Political Science group pause before the Peaee Tower on their way to Parliament at Ottawa. Under the direction of Mr. St. Germain, . s- sistant Professor of Political Science, the Poli- tical Science Club has participated in many phases of political life. Lectures by experts in public administration, town managers, and active politicians have served to bring the theory of classroom lectures down to every day life. In addition to field trips to neighboring towns and public institutions, a governmental survey tour to Canada completed a highly suc- cessful academic year. Members of the Political Science Club visit a Town Meeting to acquire practical experience with the governmental processes. Mannequins on parade . . . The Annual Fashion Show sponsored by the Secretarial Science De- partment. The vibrant and personable Dean of Women, Miss Virginia O’Neill, inspires the expanding activities of the Secretarial Sci- ence Club. The finale of the An- nual Minstrel Show places a fitting capstone on a talent-ladened pro- duction. A satirical passage from one of Shaw’s plays evokes varying reactions from Literary Club members. SECRETARIAL SCIENCE AND LITERAY CLUBS The Secretarial Science Club was organized in 1954 to supplement the classroom work of the secretarial students and provide a link with the business world. The activities of the club are two-fold, educational and social including a series of informative lectures, the annual Fashion Show, Career Girls’ Luncheon, and the highly successful Minstrel Show. The Engineering Guild was organ- ized in order to supplement the class- room and laboratory work of our pros- pective engineers. This has been ac- complished by means of lectures by prominent men in the field, excursions t o points of scientific interest and dis- cussions by the students themselves. The Guild also sponsors several social and co-curricular activities throughout the year, the most noteworthy of which in the highly successful “Transit Trot.” The one hundred and fifty ton testing machine enables the young engineer to test engineering materials of all types. ENGINEERING GUILD AND BENZENE RING Members of the Benzene Ring, pondering over a molecular model, discuss the intricacies of cyclic compounds. Bill Mc- Carthy exhibits an expression of wonderment at the ring bond- age and the side chains of the compound in point. rnmm A student familiarizes himself with a motor generator, taking data for char- acteristic curves. The Benzene Ring, a student affilia- tion of the American Chemical Society, was founded by the college’s chemistry students under the advisorship of Dr. Laurence Frizzel. By way of bimonthly meetings opportunities are provided for student discussion of current develop- ments in the scientific fields with sup- plementing field trips to laboratories and chemical plants. 37 RELIGION At Merrimack College, religion is both an academic study and a guide for every day living. It provides an unchanging standard for the individual and society and serves as a weapon against the spread of secularism and communism which are so prevalent in the world today. The students are thoroughly instructed in the tenets of Divine Revelation and the principles of Catholic morality by the Augustinian Fathers. The im- portance of putting into practice all the theory of classroom work is stressed at every turn. Under the capable direction of Reverend James E. Hannan, O.S.A., our college chaplain, the religious organizations at Mer- rimack College function smoothly and efficiently. The Fra- ternity of the Holy Name is composed of the men on campus and is associated with the Holy Name Societies of their home parishes. Its members strive to promote reverence and respect for the Holy Name of Jesus. The co-eds are members of the Sodality of Our Mother of Good Counsel which seeks to in- crease devotion to Our Blessed Mother. The Cana Society was established for the benefit of our married students and is again becoming active due to their increased numbers at Merrimack. These religious organizations work either singly or as a combined unit to sponsor social activities and to par- ticipate in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. B . l♦l ■••I 1 3 As is most fitting, each fall term is opened with a three day retreat and at the beginning of the second semester a Day of Recollection is held. During the year, every student has the opportunity to assist at daily Mass and Communion in the newly erected Collegiate Church of Christ the Teacher, the gift of our beloved Archbishop. There are also weekly novena devotions and Benediction of the Blessed Sacra- ment to which all students are invited. The results of the Annual Holy Name Break ' fast seem encouraging. Confessions are heard at the convenience of students in keeping with the College ' s policy of integrating religion with everyday living. m- I Sports are a popular and effective way of building healthy bodies and of instilling the qualities of sportsman- ship and resilience. The program of athletics is designed to afford all students an opportunity to engage in their favorite pastime, both as participants and as loyal but fair rooters. BASKETBALL The mad scramble erupts as Bill Nestor and Jack McDaid jump for possession of the hall. The cheerleaders, always the staunch and stalwart supporters of the hasketball team, appear to he more than slightly perturbed at the goings-on on the floor. William N estor Captain The swish of basket after basket has become a familiar sound as the Merrimack Warriors, spirited by Captain Bill Nestor, have made an impressive record this year. In his first full season as hoop mentor Coach Harrington has developed a team of veterans strengthened by outstanding freshman prospects. Lacking a tall middle-man, the Warriors substituted an amazing exhibition of ball-hawking and ball-handling, playing a hard brand of ball throughout the season.

The camera s eye picks up a foul that the referee misses For those sports enthusiasts whose ability or curricu- lum does not permit participation in varsity sports an extensive intramural program has been established. Well organized basketball teams comprise an interclass league whose prime characteristics are individual team spirit and sharp sportsman-like rivalry. The intra- mural league provides the stimulus for the development of a genuine competitive spirit, the will to win and the ability to accept defeat gracefully.

Planned and built by Father Paul Tha- bault and several interested students, the rink is equipped with lights for night games.

With several years of experience and an enlarged roster, the squad achieved the best winning percentage of any Merrimack team. “T iJs is one of those new nylon nets ” — members of the Tennis Team compare rackets as they prepare for a game. SKIING Whether novice, weekender, or expert, a member of the ski club finds real pleasure in the adventurous chal- lenge of daring ski runs. A weekend of thrills, spills, and healthful enjoyment is provided by frequent trips to the white slops of New hlampshire. In preparation, the club sponsors instruction sessions which teach skiing from the most basic to the most in- tricate techniques. Through this program the club provides the student an opportunity to display the sporsmanship so vital to a well-balanced personality. The annual Ski Trip affords many “Merri- mackans” the opportunity to spend their mid- year vacation schussing over the white slopes of New Hampshire mountains. 49 FRESHMEN Our Freshmen! What would college be without them? Scared and bewildered they arrived on campus in September and after solving the many problems associated with registration they donned beanies and buttons and took on the trials of the orientation period. The sophomore Orientation Committee mem- bers and Student Court were the dread of all frosh who followed any course but the one prescribed in the college handbook. With the Orientation Dance came freedom from the per- secution of the sophomores and a chance to prove to the upperclassmen that the Class of ’59 was one which would leave its mark in the history of INIerrimack College. Their versa- tility in the V’ariety Show and enthusiastic participation in college activities promise well for the future. trial The end of the Orienta- tion Period brings the shedding of beanies and buttons. Exhuberant freshmen exhibit their joy in a stomping party. Perhaps the most frequent offense against the “Freshman Code” is negligence in the wearing of “Regs.” Violators have their punishment meted out to them l)y the student Court, to the amusement of the upperclassmen. punishment Front Rote: M.

Those 8:30 classes don’t seem to bother our “Cascia girls.” With an air of rank superiority, a vivacious and excited group returned to the Merrimack Campus to commence their term as sophomores. It was their happy lot to reign supreme, as Orientation Commit- tee members, over the poor bewildered freshmen. Not only did they act as guards to enforce the wear- ing of “beanies ’n buttons” but they performed a congenial task in assisting the new students in their difficult adjustments to the routine of college life.

Cording- JUNIORS The Juniors — a personification of that “old college try” — a streak of energy when there’s a job to be done — a united group of scholars with a light of frivolity in their eyes. As upperclassmen they have made that all important choice of a field of concentration and as a result have spent long hours in the library and lab- oratory doing the research associated with their newly acquired status. They have taken on important posi- tions of leadership in the Student Council, the staffs of our publications, the field of sports and in the clubs connected with the various courses. The social high- light of the year was, of course. Junior Week with the planting of the class tree, sports day, parent’s night, and the memorable Promenade.

Then in rapid succession followed the official planting of the class tree, sports day with its many spirited contests.
