The ten years that the College has graced the valley whose name it bears have been filled with monumental accom- plishments. The College is the direct outcome of a surge of ambition following or concurrent with the economic vicissitudes of the Merrimack Valley. It is a result of defiance, of unequalled hope and faith in the face of discouragement, of the basic resilience of the people of the area. The College is to these people a symbol of achievement, of a new generation of spiritual and intellectual development raised up out of the valley itself. It is emblematic of pride and worthy self-respect acting as an impetus to greater things. Generations ago, the campus was the farm of Abiel Wilson, peaceful, and untrodden by academic shoe- leather. In 1946 members of a labor-management as- sociation in Haverhill, attempting to alleviate the over-crowded school conditions caused by returning veterans, conceived the idea of erecting a small col- lege within the Lawrence-Lowcll-Haverhill area. This group, headed by Mr. J. Leo Cronin, approached the present Bishop Minihan. then secretary to His Excel- lency Richard J. Cushing. His mediation proved largely instrumental in winning the Archbishop’s en- thusiastic and substantial support. The Augustinian Fathers cf Villanova were secured to found and to staff the proposed college. Under the aegis of the ' ery Reverend ’incent .A. McQuade, O.S.A., construction was begun on the building that would eventually be known as Guild Hall, a long E-shaped structure lo- cated on Peter ' s Street, below Wilson’s Corner, North Andover. The “E” is now indicative of Engineering, for it is thence that this department has been in- stalled. Classes began on September 29, 1947 with the sound of hammer and saw still echoing in the corri- dors. That was the beginning. Since then five other buildings have appeared and a Business Administra- tion hall is now on the architect’s boards. Austin Hall at j)re.st nt houses the Administration offices, faculty residence and the lihrary. Tha Collrfiiatt’ ( ' .liaprl is tin v ‘rv co c of life on cainpU ' and a syinhol of the spiritual nucleus of (iatholic ' duca- tion, ih ' ar to the heart of cv( ' rv stinhuil. 5 The Very Reverend Arthur B. Maxteell, O.S.A., A.B,, M.A., Litt.D., an Augus- tinian teacher of many years, is Prior and religious superior of the clerical faculty. Corpus Christi — The ostensoriuin raised in blessing over Merrimack and her family. Our Heritage Loose bricks and boards being formed into a complete building with a sacred purpose. The gymnasium was made possible by an enormous Penny Sale held in the Lawrence Memorial Stadium and organized by parents and friends, known today as the Men of Merrimack. Their support, having become traditional, along with the Ladies of Merrimack, has enabled the plans for further construction to be realized. The next four years saw the “mushrooming” of three more buildings . . . Cushing, Sullivan, and Austin Halls. On September 29, 1948, ground was broken for the science building. Named Cushing Hall in honor of Boston’s beloved Archbishop who has done so much for Merrimack, this anchor of the pro- posed quadrangle was ready by late 1949 for occu- pancy by the various science departments. The summer of 1952 brought to completion Sullivan Hall and Austin Hall. The former was dedicated to the V’ery Reverend Mortimer A. Sullivan, O.S.A., late Provincial of the Province, and houses the liberal arts, business administration, and secretarial science depart- ments. The latter combines the administrative offices, the library, and the living quarters of the clerical faculty. Thus was achieved the first stage of IMerri- mack’s growth and development on a definitive leveL In the spring of 1955 the Collegiate Church of Christ the Teacher was formally dedicated by Arch- bishop Richard J. Cushing, his own very special con- tribution to the spiritual life of the College. 6 The physical expansion is, of course, still continu- ing. Ever conscious of the increasing demands made upon the College His Excellency announced his intention of matching a half milion dollar fund to be raised by the Men of Merrimack. The immediate i ur- pose of the Development Fund Campaign is to erect a classroom building and a student union center. Con- commitant with this brick-and-mortar stage has been the blossoming of the Merrimack Tradition a spirit that is peculiarly and essentially a part of our aca- demic heritage. We feel that the spirit motivating our college is vital and unique because of the nature of its vitality, which permeates and enlivens the entire Mer- rimack family, alumni and current student body alike. This vigor stems primarily from the fact that we are so young that growth is still a conscious process, but it is so intrinsically a part of Merrimack’s heritage In earlier days collegiate activity was centered on the lower half of the campus, at Guild and Cascia Halls and the gymnasium. Archbishop Cushing imposing his final im- primatur as he lays the cornerstone of the Col- legiate Church of Christ the Teacher, Spring 1951. that it will always remain the core of the school’s activity. Those who are to come shall bear witness to it and shall carry it on and increase it, and Merrimack will raise her head over the Valley with pride and gratitude that through the efforts of so many, so many more have been able to give greater glory to God by the education of mankind. In the gallery of Firsts is this first commencement pro ' cession winding its way from Guild Hall to the gyni ' nasium and on out to make history abroad. 7 Guild Hall — Tlie j� arent I)iiil(l- inj: of the College has been renovated to serve as the Engi- neering School with an ever- expanding store of technical c(jiiipinent. 1 Slllivax Hall — The Liheral Arts hiiilding provides class- rooms and laboratories for Business Administration Biol- ogy and Nursing, as well as the cafeteria and Book Store. Clsiilng Hall — The science building anchors one end of the quadranglc-to-he. Here are all the laboratories and scientific apparatus needed for the higher courses in Chemistry and Physics. 1 ; HH 1 ' w Cascia Hall — Originally the home of the faculty, now the official dormitory for women. Cascia is located off-campus on Peters Street. Administration President The administration of any college requires im- measurable art, patience, and foresight on the part of those upon whom the honor and the burden rests. These qualities are necessary to an infinitely higher degree than usual in such a youthful institution as our own. Art has been defined as the science of making things and the art of Merrimack’s collegiate adminis- tration includes making ends meet, making contracts with builders, making representative citizens and Catholics out of her students and making plans for further e.xpansion, academically and physically. ' ery Reverend V ' incent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., is our first and most able President, under whose guidance IVIerrimack has been nurtured into a thriving collegiate community. With amazing industry and determination he has applied his energies to the often discouraging task of guiding an infant institution and with results proportionate to his efforts. Under the dominion of Reverend Joseph J. Gildea, O.S.. ., Ph.D., Vice President and Dean of Merrimack, comes the academic reputation. The faculty- admin- istration relations and the problems of individual stu- dents, as well as the entire curriculum are managed with his unbelievable patience and ability. The inspiration by which our administrative offi- cials are characterized is due, even more than to their personal merits, to their dedication to a more sublime vocation, which is only reflected in their work at Merrimack.

The program is designed to enable the student to arrive at spiritual, cultural and practical goals through the channels toward which his natural talents best incline him. The graduate of a liberal arts major is fitted not just to labor in a single field but to take a reputable place in many, a multi-faceted citizen. jNIerrimack offers Biology, Economics, English, History and Social Sciences as fields of specialization under the general heading.

Department of Physics and Mathematics; Athletic Director For those who desire a professional scientific career, intensified studies in physics, chemistry and biology departments adequately equip them with basic knowledge and develop their minds analytically, enabling them to apply theory and devise suitable methods for solving specific problems. The scientist has great influence on the future of the individual and the nation, and his reward is proportionate to the good he accom- plishes for society. In our modern world, however, knowledge of at least the funda- mental principles of the natural sciences should form an essential con- stituent in any college student’s education. Today’s graduate faces a scientific age prepared to understand the ideas underlying ordinary occurrences. In its program fcr the education of the “whole man” Merrimack has not disregarded this factor. LAURENCE D.

Civil Engineering is concerned with the fundamental concepts of structures and physical stresses as applied to the construction of bridges, roads, buildings. But an engineer is much more than a mere tech- nician. He must be trained to take his place in the civil and political community. It is hoped, to o, that with a background in the eternal truths of religion, philosophy and ethics, with an appreciation of our cultural heritage, our engineer may take an active role in directing scientific endeavor towards restoring all things in Christ.

Catering to this need, Merrimack offers both two and four year secretarial courses. A skilled teaching staff combined with modern equipment and a comprehensive curriculum produce the desired result. Secretarial skills can only he ac- quired with pa- tience and deter- mination. 18 NICHOLAS J.

For those who are unable to attend the regular sessions at iVIerrimack College, provision has been made to hold classes in the evening. Associate Degrees in Arts or Business Administration and Certificates in Secretarial Science are awarded upon completion of the courses. During the summer vacation, a special session of six weeks is held for regular students who wish to make up courses, for teachers and others who are unable to attend the day and evening sessions. 20 Juniors Poised . . . friendly . . , Juniors Dick. .

Always an integral part of both campus and classroom, specializing in the fields of their choices, they exert more and more influence on all educational activities. Through the untiring efforts of competent leaders and the corporate activity of class members, the J uniors have adapted themselves well to college life. The high point of the social calendar was reached during Junior Week. Happy memories of the planting of the class tree, sports day, parents’ night and the prom will be lasting ones. With the enthusiasm which is so typical of youth, the Juniors lock forward to becoming the leaders of the campus. I I I 21 i Front Row: J. Cuddy, C. Bousquet, D. Scafard, I. Rheaume, R. Casale, S.

Here is the stage just a little above being Freshman but not yet ready to take on the sonorous responsibility of being upper classmen who are by now prepared to step into the world and set it on its heels. The Sophomores are anxious to work together to put over the campus clubs and activities with just the right finesse, enveloping the college with an aura of enthusiasm, vigor and a slight seasoning of superiority. In the long process of grinding before graduating the steps are as follows: A Freshman knows not and knows that he knows not. A Sophomore knows not and knows not that he knows not. A Junior knows and knows not that he knows. And a Senior knov. s and knows that he knows And let it be known that this last step is where our happy-go-lucky Sophomores are hurrying to get.

Freshmen Confusion . . . soon followed by a studied sureness described the Class of 1960 upon its entrance into college life. They bought their tremendous arm-load of books and memorized their schedules, the names of their professors, and those fatal four pages of the Rule Book. After the first two weeks, the thought uppermost in each Freshman’s mind was, “How can I avoid that Orientation Committee?” However, the Orientation Dance brought to an end the period of trial and the Class of 1960 was on its own. Each indi- vidual had to learn for himself to ignore the siren- call of the “caf” and to bring that arm-load of books to the library. He had to learn to strike the proper balance between dances and extra-curricular activity, and the most important aspect of college, the schol- astic life. But they have learned this well and are growing and maturing in every way. The Freshman parking lot is a long, long way from Sullivan Hall. ATTENSHVM . . .

The Augustinian Fathers of Merrimack College realize full well that a scientific specialist or a technologist who has noth- ing but his specialty to guide him is not an educated person. They also realize that the most important function of a Catholic college is not merely to teach the formulas of the Catholic religion, but to produce an atmosphere filled by Christ, anienvironment imbued with prayer. It has been their constant aim to produce this atmosphere, to know that from It emerges students who not only grasp intellectually the dogmas of their faith, but who possess a habit of life which spontaneously stresses the next world rather than this one, the sacredness of the individual rather than of society, the super- natural rather than the merely natural. 35 1 The celebration of Mass in the beautiful Chapel of Christ the Teacher marks the opening of each school year. W eekly Benediction hecaine a part of our lives and learning. o At Merrimack religion is not only a part of the curriculum, it is a way of life. Weekly Masses, Annual Retreats, the Holy Name Society, and the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin help to make it so. Before and after graduation the student and his religion are one. 36 John M. Driscoll, O.S.A., Chaplain, daily seeks divine inspiration for his role as our counselor, our {juidc, and our friend. The Altar was often a source of consolation and renewed strength. Rose Dardano and Jean Collins labored devotedly for the So- dality. Father Driscoll plans the next activity with Holy Name offieers. The pamphlet rack makes the best in literature readily available. L I I � 1 I ■. of the textbook, these events, ever increasing in importance and ever widening in scope, serve to open the door to broader fields of endeavor and accomplish- ment. The skier, the skater, the writer, the thespian are all provided with the outlet for their special ability. The student is given the opportunity to partici- ' pate, to accomplish, and, above all, to belong. The following pages are a pictorial attempt to present and record some of the activities of the students; to show that while at Merrimack they participated, they accomplished, they belonged.

Student Council The organization of student government and regulation on campus is the Student Council, comprised of one Sophomore, three Juniors and five Seniors chosen from representative students. The Sophomore and two each of the Juniors and Seniors are elected annually to keep this most important nucleus constant. Student-Faculty relations are maintained with capable diplomacy and disciplinary measures are en- forced by this body. Members of the Council direct campus activities and preside over elections. A special Council undertaking this year was the estab- lishment of the Student Traffic Commission to deal with the problem of parking violations. Its members are not general Council officers. Bottom Rote: J. Valeri (Pres.), J. McColgan, S. Sullivan. Top Rote: E. Silvestri, M. Feinan, P. Donohue, D. Seafard, R. Brady, R. Mackey. Dottie has the floor and the interest of all the other members of the Student Council. When are these students going to stop parking in the faculty spaces? After all, this could cause one of the “Profs” to be late. Alicia seems surprised at what the President of the Literary Society is saying, hut the rest of the meinhers are accepting it with their customary calm. Literary Club The Literary Club of Merrimack College has been founded to promote cultural and aesthetic activities among its members and the Student body as a whole. At bi-weekly meetings, there are discussions of a literary nature, recordings of outstanding plays, and guest lecturers. Members of the Philosophy Club, directed by Dr. Warren, try to fathom the cause, the existence, and the end of all creation. Philosophy Club An esoteric group, the members of the Philosophy Club. Dr. John Warren organized the club to serve as an opportunity for train- ing in logic for those interested, regardless of their courses of study. This program of intel- lectual improvement is not without its social advantage, however. 42 Caducean Club The Caducean Club is a student organiza- tion, on campus, primarily designed to culti- vate and further interest in the fields of biol- ogy. The students hold frequent meetings, go on field trips, and, above all, they strive to establish a professional attitude among their members. In their efforts to probe into the secrets of the ph ysical word, the members of the Caducean Club use all the facilities at their disposal. Benzene Ring Students with an interest in Chemistry are encouraged to join the Benzene Ring, the student affiliate of the American Chemical Society. The club conducts a busy schedule of meetings featuring movies and lectures by guest speakers. In addition, the Benzene Ring sponsors field trips to nearby plants and lab- oratories to acquaint its members with the practical side of Chemistry. These chemists look pleasantly apprehensive. Dick is checking his ingredients with the book. 43 Before any assignments are handed out, the editors-in-chief hold a content consultation with the feature editors. The Merrimack Warrior Work productive of visible accomplishment is one of the greatest pleasures life affords. In any college one of the most demanding activities for co-operative work and achievement is its college newspaper, in our case — The Warrior. The effect of printer’s ink is strange and wonderful. Those who participate on a college publication do so because of an urge to write, finding it an avenue of self-expression, or to satisfy the desire to see their own words a.ctually in print. But no matter what the reason, there is definite pleasure derived. It is held that a newspaper has the power to influ- ence men’s lives, to shape their thoughts or to arouse their emotions. In a sense, this is true of a college newspaper. iMerrimack’s WARRIOR draws a colorful picture of her contemporary students as they are reflected on the surfaces of collegiate activity. The success of this paper depends, consequently, on every student at Merrimack. Jack Parent uses any means, angle, or trick to keep the photography in the paper interesting and good. 44 ' ' Here conies the ff arrior — the results of weeks of effort are hrouglit to the “caf ’ for distribution. The retiring Editor - in - Chief hands over that symbolic key to his successor. Even such a highly individual publica- tion as the Warrior has to he subjected to the assembly line occasionally. the Merrimackan From May of one year until May of the next, Room 308 in Cushing Hall is the center of frantic but pur- poseful action, generated by an attempt of the Merri- mackan staff to put into one hundred short pages the commented-upon pictorial record of one collegiate year. But one collegiate year holds virtually those preceding it and, in embryo, those yet to come; and its record does the same. In behalf of and in honor of the graduating class, the Merrimackan represents the entire college to its present and prospective students, to the alumni, and to those friends who are concerned with the growth and development of institution and students alike. The inembers of the major staff go over the “diinimy ’ for the last time before sending it to press. 46 Noreen O ' Callaghan: Rodin first expressed it: the poised pencil, the creative mind, the versatile approach, the ordinary in colors. A pensive mood, fortunately, for it is from this stylus that the pedestrian will he charged with hrilliance, and the Literary Editor will achieve the high standard of literary grace and excellence that we take for granted. Business Manager, Joe O ' Riordan, is explaining the ins and outs of the financial side of the Merrimackan to Dick and Dave. Rita Reidy: The Editor-in-Chief is all things to all — and then must see that the work is done. It is hers to plan, create, assign, cajol, placate, and write letters to the publisher. This is her cre- ation of pen and lens; and with it all, Rita is Rita, sparkling, disarming, won- derful. The entire staff all together at once, and all furiously busy — an event to be recorded. 47 d Dramatics Let us introduce to you the thespians of Merrimack College — better known as the “On Stagers.” This ambitious group maintains the high standard of the dramatic societies of past years. After weeks of never- to-be-forgotten rehearsals, a talented cast and an efficient stage crew scored another dramatic triumph in the production of “The Caine Mutiny,” to which an enthusiastic audience testified! Honors are given to Rev. Francis X. Smith, O.S.A., able director and moderator, through whose untiring perseverance the success of the “On Stagers” is assured. Lt.

Now having one of the largest organizations on campus, the Accounting Society was formed to acquaint the members with the latest pro- cedures and opportunities in the different ac- counting fields. This is accomplished through a series of informal discussions with members of the profession and a banquet each semester. A meeting of the Business Club, reviewing some problems in the marketing field. Accounting Club 50 Smiling evidence to the fact tliat THERE WAS SNOW, after all. Mers Merrimack’s Ski Club, “The Ski-Mers,” provides a- source of outdoor winter recreation for the students. The highlight of the club’s activities is the annual ski trip to a major resort area at mid-semester vacation, in addition to day and weekend jaunts to nearby areas during the heavy snow season, and an early June climbing trip to Tuckerman’s Ravine for the die-hards. Monthly meetings keep members up on techniques and equipment via lectures and motion picture films. Instruction is given by those with experience in the sport to the neophytes. Merrimack’s Sailing Club is both a serious and recreational proposition. left tack downwind from the College leads to Lake Quannapowitt, the tactical headquarters for the club’s activities. Affiliated with the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association, the club sends Freshman and Varsity teams to race in New England meets. Sailing Club The members of the Sailing Club gather to discuss the stra- tegy of their next inter-collegi- ate contest. 51 k Choral Society “Sivi-i-i-ing lo-o-ow, swi — ing low, sweet chariot” — and with private interpreta- tion allowed, too. Among Merrimack’s more aesthetic gatherings is the Choral Society. Its members, tvhich regularly number about forty, put on two annual concerts, one at Christmas and the other in May. In addition, several minor programs are engaged in during the school year. Under the patient and able direction of Rev. Thomas F. Walsh, O.S.A., enthusiastic young voices are graduated into the traditional “S.A.T.B;” arrangements and trained to melodious as well as sounding effusions. The Liturgical Choir, a small, highly trained group of men, specializes in liturgical exercises. i Key Club Founded primarly as a campus service or- ganization, the Key Club acts as a “booster club” for campus activities. During this first year of operation, the men of the club served as guides, ushers, and representatives of the college whenever their services were needed. Secretarial Science Club The Secretarial Science Club, begun on the Merrimack College Campus in 1953, is open to all those enrolled in the Secretarial Science Department. It is one of our most active organizations. Miss Anna Radzukinas, Club Mod- erator, supervises the social events that come under its sponsorship, including the annual Fashion Show, and the Minstrel Show. The practical objective of the club is to combine the professional and social skills so important to a secretary’s edu- cation. Models for the annual fashion show are practicing before an appreciative but critical audience. Young Democrats and Republicans Organized in 1952, the Young Republi- cans and Young Democrats propose to increase interest in the party aspect of political science. Discussions at the periodic meetings are concerned with party plat- forms and major political issues. Study and criticism of past issues of importance also form part of the discussions. Active participation in political cam- paigns is realized by the members in at- tending rallys, driving voters to polls, work at the polls themselves, being of any service possible to their respective parties. Armand has the floor and the undivided attention of his political minded fellows. After all — Election year is a big moment. Engineering Guild The Engineering Guild is a student or- ganization working to foster interest in Engineering activities both curricular and social. This is accomplished in part by a program of lectures given by guest speak- ers prominent in the Engineering field. Out- standing in the school social calendar is the Transit Trot, the Guild’s annual un- dertaking. The availability of various Engineering Publications along ' with inter- association of the students in the Guild, engenders a healthy attitude toward their studies. Junior and senior civil engineers- are exam- ining the mirror suspension in a galvano- meter. 54 . . . All work and no play is certainly not the case at Merrimack. Sports of all descriptions lead the list of extra-curricular activities which are available to the students during their leisure hours. Hundreds of participants, coeds included, find relaxation and entertainment in our extensive sports program. The gym and hockey rink are the centers of attraction during the school months. Joe Hackney — “Hustle Per- sonified” — leads the fast- breaking Warriors on a scoring drive. Mitch gets some last minute tips on how to stop that visiting pivotman. The cameras eye catches a glimpse of ihe Warrior fans at a home game. Chalk up tico for the Warriors as Skip Gracyzk scores on the end of a fast break. Basketball “In unity there is strength” — The Merrimack Warriors made this their watchword as they faced the 56-57 campaign. This tiny, closely-knit group proved to their followers that what they lacked in individual brilliance they offset very ade- quately with teamwork. While they wrote few headlines record- wise, their sincere will to win and their refusal to recognize their handicaps earned for them the respect of their fellow students. Win or lose, the Warriors made their presence felt wherever they roamed and their fighting spirit brought raves from their opponents. It is impossible to cite an individual star because from the top to the bottom of the lineup each contributed his limit. Every man was a vital cog in a machine that knew no other word but “hustle.” Although Coach Harrington’s boys had their share of defeats, a glance at the future seems to reveal a brighter picture with every member of the squad returning next year. 56 Rimas’ jump shot . . . High scorer. Bob Lemay, splits the strings with his deadly push shot. . . . . Again, as in the past, the intramural basketball league stole the spotlight among the informal sports on campus. A new threat to its popularity arose, however, with the birth of the first intramural football league on campus. Thanks to Father Driscoll and some of the more energetic students, the boys engaged in their after-school scrimmages on a lined and leveled gridiron. On the hardwood, ten clubs battled down to the wire in one of the finest loops in intramural history. “ ere’s two more for the Pre-Meds to worry about,” says big Ben. Intra-Murals The Ragbags always get the Top with Ray in the circle. Chick picks up valuable yardage during the first intramural football season.

Hockey Bruises, aches and pains, but not without thrills were the order of the day as the boys from Merrimack skated through a highly successful season. Long and late hours of practice paid huge dividends as the well- conditioned squad faced their rugged schedule and proved their ability to play rough and tough hockey. Opponents will not soon forget the men from Merri- mack. “No room for that puck in my net.” First Row: R. Bresette, P. Melchiono, C. Levesque, J. McColgan, L. O’Keefe, J. Day, G. Roy. Back Row: J.

Tennis During the past three seasons, tennis at Merrimack has moved into full-time intercol- legiate competition. The first informal squad has developed into a team that has lost only- two matches in the past two seasons. Of all the varsity sports on campus, tennis boasts the best winning percentage. This is due, in a large part, to the enthusiastic reception of the sport and to the cooperate activities of the Tennis Club. Strategy before big games pays off for the victorious arrior netnien. Skiing The slopes of the White Mountains and surrounding areas provided every Merrimack student with the opportunity to join in the sports program. Our outdoor-minded class- mates spent their leisure time answering the challenging call of the powdered hills. Al- though some of the less agile members dragged their casts around after the ski trip the major- ity of the participants longingly awaited next year’s trip to the North country. Pat and Lennie demonstrate that the Ski Club offers a little hard work along with the fun. Junior Week One of the iceek’s more solemn moments . . . Father Crawford is reading the dedication prayer. The glamorous effects of a Prom are achieved only by much paint and elbow grease. By the third year, students begin to feel like truly estab- lished and responsible collegiate citizens, and their status is officially recognized by the devotion of an entire week to their special interests. Junior Week. Junior Week opens with a Mass and Communion Breakfast, followed by a picnic in the afternoon. Sports day. Co-eds day, the Prom and Dinner Dance follow in swift succession with Parents’ Night and tree (in this case flagpole) planting tucked in between. The whole college participates, both actively and in spirit. At the foot of the flag pole lies the placque marking its dedication to the memory of a for- mer classmate. 61 ‘‘Hey, here they come now, clown the gym road.” The partieipants in the annual race are urged on by excited friends. Almost to the finish line. “Hurry up, Art. It’s that last spurt that counts.” The hoys have been training for weeks. The girls refuse to be left behind. Even though they don’t attempt a miler, they make tracks on a shorter course. Chic seems to he in a hurry. In place of the traditional tree the class of ’57 presented the College with the flag pole you see and the flag that Dick has raised beyond view. 62 Sports Day Romantic l aris and riotouH Junior . . .

That mural is a work of art but Pat and Tony look more ex- hausted than justly proud. ‘‘Isn’t this wonderful?” The queen is enthroned and the evening is well un- derway. 65 Like all young people their stiffness disappears when the food arrives. Decor, atmos- phere, and ‘ hih and tucker” are forgotten in genuine enjoyment. and Dinner Dance “Do you suppose everything is really all right?” Louise and Lennie are afraid things are going too smoothly to be sage. Dressed up, almost sophisticated, ending an eventful Junior year with climactic Junior Week. 66 Winter Wonderland — Formal seniors — our last Prom, No one knoivs just what to say — “Where is Mr. Shea going, anyway?” The surge of the music, the sweep of the dance — around and around and around.

Minihan, D.D., auxiliary Bishop of Boston, presided. The graduates were most fortunate in being addressed by the Prior General of the Augustinian Fathers, the Most Rev- erend Englebert Eberhard, O.S.A. Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., President of the college, conferred on each of the ninety candidates the degree of Bachelor in either Arts or Science. In addition, seventeen Certificates in Secretarial Studies were awarded, as were four Associate Degrees in Arts and nine Associate Degrees in Business Administration. The Most Reverend Englebert Eberhard, O.S.A., and Lieutenant Thomas F. Hickey, U.S.A. were recipients of the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws and Letters. In his charge to the graduates, the President called their attention to the fact that “having been awarded the degrees which admit you to the roll of graduates of Merrimack College, you are entering this day a worthy company composed of all those everywhere who have enjoyed the privileges and who bear the responsibilities of scholarly culture and training.” The academic procession passes, over-shadowed by the Collegi- ate Church — a silent reminder of the purpose of Merrimack College. Most Reverend Engelbert Eher- hard, O.S.A., and Lieutenant- General Thomas F. Hickey, U.S.A. , recipients of Honorary Degrees of Doctor of Laws and Letters, pose in their doctor’s robes on the portico of Austin Hall. 93 The day of days has been reached. Di- plomas in hand, degrees awarded, the Class of 1956 waits, impatiently, for their last collegiate exit. His Excellency greets the first of the proud new grad- uates. The climax has been reached.
