So still, so radiant, — an embodied prayer.

Page twenty-nine FlBMS March 19, 1920— March L9, 1921 During the second week of June. 1920, St. Joseph ' s held its hist commence- ment. To say that this longed-for event measured up to expectations would he inadequate. Its success was so complete that il sel a standard to which future classes will not find it easy to attain. The impressiveness of the baccalaureate services, with Monsignor Coan officiating, in so perfect a setting as the gothic grandeur ot Queen of All Saints Church: the effective presentation, on the night following, of Iphigenia in Tauris; the dignity of degree-night and the charm of Monsignor Flannery ' s address. — all these went to make St. Joseph ' s first com- mencement the success which all Brooklyn acclaimed it. The only cloud in the joy and triumph of it all was the enforced absence of our Bishop, detained in Rome h i lie affairs of this great diocese. For it had been the long-cherished hope of his twelve apostles of the pioneer class to receive their degrees from the hands of the founder of the College, who had given St. Joseph ' s its being and had watched over it infanc) with a father ' s care. In the Bishop ' s absence, the Right Reverend Vicar General Monsignor Joseph Mc- Namee presided. Hi- inspiring and scholarl) address to the candidates for the degree will be memorable in the college annals. The events of the week that followed. — the senior dance, the junior luncheon, the theater party, class day, the sophomore tea. field day, the freshman reception, — all showed that joyous spirit which comes upon the realization of having achieved something worth while. At the close oi Commencement week, the grad- uates organized the Alumnae, with Marjorie 1). Nolan as its first president. It was during the summer that we received the news that Doctor Mollov had been appointed Bishop of Loria and auxiliary to Bishop McDonnell. Both Faculty and students were privileged to attend the Bishop ' s consecration on Octo- ber third. Bishop Molloy ' s new duties forced him to give up his classes in phil- osophy, but he still continues to be president of the Faculty. The Right Reverend Bishop McDonnell appointed Father Dillon to supervise the courses in phil- osophy and apologetics. Other additions to the Faculty with the opening of the new year were Dr. Redmond for oral English. Miss McEntee for history,- and Miss Clarke for music.

Cardinal Newman has said that charm is elusive, arid we certainly feel justified in taking Maureen as the living illustration of the statement. To know her is to be captivated by her charm. But it is a charm so unique and inexpressible, that words, no matter how- well shaped, will still fail to grasp and hold it. When you meet Maureen for the first time, you realize swiftly but clearly that she is very young, that she is alarmingly original, and that she is most emphati- cally herself. Knowing her well, you realize that not being given to idle words, she never talks unless she has something worth while to say, and that, — rarest of all rare things! — she never considers I. For her. that pronoun simply does not exist. She sees everything in the symmetry of a true and just proportion. In- deed, the ruling passion of Maureen ' s life is derived from her keen sense of values. Her eyes see life steadily and see it whole, and this is one of the bigger things. Did you ever know Maureen to cause a riot with the powers that be? Or did you ever see her seriously perturbed over a mere exam? Yet she always arrives with the letter of the first ' magnitude. The ways of the world and of B — are wonderful. But aside from her ability in school life, Maureen is perfectly capable of discussing the relative beaut) of Batik blouses or the absolute beauty of the universe. Sonic dav. we know, she will belong to the literati, then as the editor of The Modern Germ, she will al last have come into her own. But meanwhile simply be the Maureen we know now, — she who makes us laugh while thinking the large thoughts. Page thirty-three AGNES E.

She may be sympathetically listening to a neighbor ' s lamentation, or gazing forward intent on learning the ways and means of teaching hard words. or — execrable thought! — she may be passing a note. But no matter what she is doing, her vividness is impelling enough to demand special recog- nition. Possessing an exquisite poetic and artistic taste joined to an all comprehending love for beauty. Agnes is by far one of the best litterateurs of 21. Who of us has not been strongly impressed by The Need of the Hour in the first cop ot the now far famed Loria? No difficulties discourage her. her poise never deserts her. but she is self possessed and acts with forethought always. Besides this she is an earnest and thorough student. But do not think that this lady is over seri- ous. Many times, in the heat of basketball practice, a wild shriek has caused the ref. to call time out. When we rushed to Agnes ' assistance, it was to find that she was merely suffering from excitement. One tribute paid to her is that sweetness is characteristic of her every look, thought, and act. and so she will live in the hearts of all who love her. FDDTP itlTS Page thirty-four GRACE l.

B. June, 1921 We should have been a pitiable con- glomeration, a veritable delicatessen, in fact anything but a class, if Miss Camp- bell had not graced our midst. For it was Helen who assorted us. our respec- tive talents and personal properties I in- cidentally our moneys), so that we evolved from a heterogeneous mass to the well ordered, conventional class of 1921. Helen ' s impelling motive is a mania for order and efficiency. She can collect anything from class dues to middy blouses. Her ability for getting thinu done quickly, thoroughly, and quietly is nothing short of marvelous. When Loria was to be launched into the stormy sea of literature Helen was given the honor of being its first business manager and to her eternal glory let it be known that the venture has been very successful. Now we all know that it was Helen who first assumed another responsibility — that of introducing into our erstwhile unsophisticated members pressed beav- ers and such veils! But like all the wonders of Nature. Helen ' s uniqueness evinces itself in many ways. If you happen to be working late. Helen will contrive in a very special way to make you happy. Imagine a very stormy night, life seems black, etc., your Muse has joined the ranks of all the other deserters! Suddenly you hear a clink- ing of teacups from adown the corridor. Then out of the shadows emerges Helen, carrying the ever refreshing Lipton ' s. Somehow there is a certain sense of secur- ity which Helen brings with her every- where. And it is this girl who can shoulder any responsibility. — the Helen who out of the fulness of her heart labored so tirelessly for St. Joseph ' s, — that 21 will never forget.

Helen, we always meant to ;s. you if you culled that rare flower from. — five a copy? We shouldn ' t he sur- prised if it were original, because Helen has a kind of inventive genius that scorns imitation. Her incomparable ability to make jokes is something to be wondered at as much as is her ability to appreciate them. How often have we waited five, nay even ten, minutes, for Helen to re- cover from some subtle prof, witticism! But if genius is the capacity for taking infinite pains, who shall say that Helen has not genius? Any work undertaken by her is bound to be done with un- equalled thoroughness, — whether it be the printing, which she does so exquisitely, or any of the duties belonging to the position of class secretary. Beyond her official capacity, Helen has often acted the part of good Samaritan to her hungry colleagues. Without her our numbers would have been consider- abl lessened because ot the evil known as between-class-malnutrition. Remem- ber those olives! Some people are always doing the little things that count so much. Helen does these little things but in a big. trans- forming way. Everybody felt the value of the thoughtfulness which prompted her to take notes for an absent classmate, just as everybody appreciated her almost superhu- man endeavor to be present on Class Day. Ii is this extraordinary ability to achieve where others would fail that is most charac- teristic ol Helen. One of our professors did not hesitate to sav that she would make one of the finest women in our class. Helen, knowing you as we do, we feel certain that your future will be as beautiful to know as these past lour years have been. Page thirty-seven (DBMS HELEN A.

June, 1921 During the slow and difficult filtering, evaporating, and generating processes of a course in qualitative analysis, Helens inmost secrets were revealed to us. Here we learned of her hitherto unexpressed desire for the ohject which to her is the most fascinating on earth — a red hat! Then here, too, her practical philosophy. — to meet the difficulties of each day calmly and deliberately. — was brought into play. A threatened explosion men- aced our lives, experiments, and notes. Immediatelj the rest of us vanished, but Helen, calm as ever, continued the gen- tle heating of her tube, humming meanwhile in tones sweet and low. that most appropriate lyric. Till We Meet Again. Helen ' s manner ! If we were French, we should shrug our shoulders, look very enigmatic and breathe Ah! It isn ' t her fault that her eyes are won- derfully expressive. She simply cannot help it! And that halo of serenity sur- rounding her! Stately and quiet, Helen moves in the class with a unique and very modern kind of queenliness. Only twice in her whole career have we seen her ruffled. But there were extenuating circumstances! Now you are going to be startled! Helen, the composite of various abilities compre- hending everything from the making of filet lace to the dissection of a frog, has chosen her life work. Her ambition is the achieve- ment of an M. D. Since Freshman. Helen ' s heart and soul have longed for the day when she should experience the supreme joy of saving life. It is one of the noblest of all missions. In it. Helen, you will strike all the high lights of the deeper greatness. Twenty- one is unutterably glad that you are of us. Hm«J Page thirty-eight AGNITA V. DUFFY To see the world in a grain of sand.

But Mildred reassured us and said that the new girl could not be otherwise than likeable. Her name was Duffy! Indeed, before the end of the first semester, we found that in Agnita.

Agnita has a wonderful ability to manage and cam out anything. What could be more successful than the Senior Prom? As chairman of its committee, she proved most capable. The supper, dance orders, music, in fact everything, bore evidence of her care, interest and efforts. Still, every one has her faults, and Agnita committed the unforgivable crime when she chose another college in which to begin the pursuit of the elusive A. B.

Never discouraged herself (imag- ine Mildred dejected. I she can always make the bright side most evident for us: and through these best of four years she has taught ' 21 individually and collectively ' to look for the silver lin- ing. On the dreariest, grayest day of the year, Mildred will find a gleam of sunshine. Her ideas on the sacredness of private property, promulgated with much banshee wailing and many tears (Mildred, they once convinced an august member of the faculty! ) have certainly brightened our lives. Never have we known of anything overwhelming enough to daunt Mildred. If she should suddenly write, publish, and produce an original drama in blank verse and even manage its publicity and act as usher on the night of its premiere, we should register no surprise. Did she not win the college song contest and carry away the essay prize last spring? Mildred playing basketball is remarkable, but have you ever seen the same young lady on a rainy day? She is combination of Maureen, Grace, and half a dozen others. As varied as her rainy day apparel are her thoughts. She can convince you of anything from the fact that the soul is a spiritual sub- stance to the necessity of saving postage stamps to buy Chinese babies. In all 21 there is no such delightful mix- ture of general obstreperousness and thoughts born of dreams divine. No, Mil- dred, there are none like you — none. FlMfii Page forty EVA M.

She who assured Loria ' s ex- istence will be an immortal in S. J. C. After the millennium has come, who can tell but that future generation? will be learning that Sonnet to Padraic Pearse? Oh. ves.

Sodality Sec ' y Orchestra Stella Mans Circle Candidate for A. B. June. When you first meet Eleanor, her mere existence awakens an unselfish delight. Her naivete captivates you, and as you see more of her, yes, even as you know her in all the intimacies of college life, the charm of this first acquaintance still re- mains. When vou have paced a lobby an hour at a temperature of 4000 degrees Cent, awaiting Eleanor to accompany you to the much anticipated Tagore-in-person lecture, you simply cannot deliver youi heated oration when she arrives. R «J all y she is awfully sorry—lost in a book, she looked out of the Ham window to find she was in Canarsie instead of at the Academy of Music. nd Eleanor has courage. She does not hesitate to ask for a pink teacup just because it happens to appeal to her. She has also been known to make the re- quest, Please Mister, will vou call your cat? But why dwell on little things when her character is so rich? Perhaps it is her own sensitiveness which causes Eleanor to shrink from the mere thought ot causing unhappiness to others. She has a kindly feeling towards everybody, and in consequence has inspired many strong affections of which she is unconscious. Eleanor has a decided genius — a genius for poetry. Her lines have not the completeness of a mediocre verse at its zenith. They seem rather the embryo of a great work, which will some day make St. Joseph ' s a literary shrine. Her personality is intensely vivid, her— but we cannot attempt to describe her here, — we can merely agree with Tennyson when he says, Who may express thee, Eleanore? FDDMrtTS Page forty-two HELEN A.

June, 1921 Can you imagine a name more suitable for Helen than Livy? She is petite, a lover of the old Romans, sometimes a Ut- ile bellicose, but almost always just her- self. The facility with which Helen can learn classical languages is positively marvel- ous. Throughout the course she has been our leader in Latin and Greek. She sim- j lv delights in opposing obstacles: and in passing, we might say, that she often ( rowds two days ' work into one. Despite the fact that Livy lost almost a year through illness, her scholastic work has been truly remarkable. Please don ' t think that all of her much crowded day ' s work is spent in un- raveling abstruse questions. She is ever ready to help in any cause. Witness the demure Helen serving at teas — also the businesslike young woman supervis- ing the difficult photographic work of Footprints. Helen certainly is capable. To us she is synonymous with warm heartedness and sympathy. She fairly bub- bles over with unique remarks, and not infrequently has sent the cla s into peals of laughter. Shall we ever forget The stairs are not in use? At that time, she really decided to evaporate. But she is with us still, and we ' ll say that ' 21 is glad she didn ' t carry out that threat.

Until then we will have to be satisfied with the ephemeral high lights of her personality, that are as bright as the sunshine glints on her hair. She is quiet and gentle, but hers is a gentleness coupled with the strength of her convictions. With courage enough to supply a person twice her height, Ruth cannot fear anything, but will hold her thoughts against the world when she thinks herself in the right. Before attaining the use of reason, Ruth, at one time or another, must have swallowed the rhyming dictionary. There is no other theory that will account for her ability to turn out humorous verses at the shortest possible notice. Another baffling trick! Ruth, will you ever teach us that becoming way of looking frightened? You know it has softened the adniantine hearts of so many profs. Speaking of art, Ruth has enjoyed the distinction of having poetry pub- lished in the first number of Loria. Besides the intrinsic worth of the poem. Ruth ' s effort was reallv invaluable, for if it had not come into being, it may safely be said that two of ' 21 ' s members would have doubted the meaning of toupee. The future is to you, as to all of us, the white shining road that is insistently calling. Ruth, ' 21 knows that your big adventure will be a glorious one, for we hold, too. that character is destiny. Page forty-fo ur (? MARIAN C.

Irrepressible and joyous as her own laughter, someone has called her the rarest combination of gentleness, thought- fulness and mischief. Her joke was a life-saver lyes, she even made her own I . her smile an antidote for any trouble. Perched on a chair, in the act of orating, Marian ' s ability to rave on about an infinity of nothings would do credit to any oral English teacher. The over- whelming mystery of our Freshman year was how Marian managed to pass her exams in spite of the fact that she had been chief instigator in almost every Fresh- man prank. In Sophomore and Junior, she developed by a series of checks and balances to the Marian we know now. Sometimes, it seems that Marian is April incarnate. — that she. too, is woven of tears and laughter. Lovelv fairies must have fluttered about her in infancy, fairies who once inspired her to whisper. If only I could live in a world of music! Mo-t of us have known the Marian of end- less generosity — she who forgets the smaller things and remembers only the big worthy thoughts: and probably none of us will ever lorgel the grand finale to the Mt. St. Mary ' s game. How, tired and hungry, some seventy- odd basketball enthusiasts returned to College to find read) one of the mosl appreciated treats in our remembrance. Of course, Marian was chairman of the committee. In time, the Sanctum will be but a mem- ory, but we know that we simply shall not be able to live again the golden hours without thinking of that bobbed head ami those eleven ear-old eyes.

Sodality 3 Athletic Association 3, 4 Stella Maris Circle 4 Candidate for A. B. June, 1921 Did Wordsworth have a prototype of Lucy in mind when he wrote his lovely poems to the other Lucy? Surely the wistful sweetness of ' 21 ' s Lucy is but the living, pulsing expression of the poetic conception of the author of Intimations. At any rate, we feel certain that had these two known each other, thev would have been kindred spirits. During the two years she has been with us, we have grown accustomed to the peacefully radiant smile of Lucy. Her presence is never obtrusive, her voice is never heard in the din of classroom discussion, and yet we can always feel when Lucv is not around. Did you ever stand next to Lucy at Glee Club? Do so, at the first oppor- tunity. The sweet music of her voice will live long in your memories. We do not advise everyone to try standing next to this songbird at once. Our musical director does not approve of crowding. But once you have been initiated into the charms of this voice, you will reserve your place there every week. And we are sorry to say that this is perhaps the only way you may get acquainted with it, for Lucy is a very shy and modest candidate for operatic honors. Through the coming years, we know Lucy, that you will not change but will always be ' 21 ' s ideal of womanly sweetness, for Her ways are ways of pleasantness And all her paths are peace.

Florence has a way of using the aforementioned eyes, that is fatal to the discipline of any class. And when they are surmounted by a headdress a la Cleopatra, the hour is over, — that is, all excepting the bell. Flo is versatility itself. Besides her optic ability, she owns a veritable stoic- house of novel ideas. Manv, many times the supply has been called upon In bring forth all those ingenious little things that add so much to the charm of our very unique parties and dances. Now, someone has said that to a few mortals it is given to hold the golden mean in all things. No matter what the confusion, these favored few guard llieir sweetness and serenity always, and our Flo belongs to this little number. Flo, the ever cool and reserved, the master of an) situation. Watch her on the basketball field! Did you ever see anyone drop the ball into the basket with her cool, almost impertinent nonchalance? As for Florence ' s scholastic ability. Livy, Plautus. Terence, and our mutual friend Horace. — she has conquered them all. Need we say more? You will agree with us. that Flo i that splendid person, — an all round girl! ' 21 will never think of S. J.

It matters very little whether it be cards or law, for she possesses that rare quality of perseverance and stick-to-itiveness that makes all her undertakings splendidly suc- cessful. In class we often sit. in voice- less admiration at her ability to question the professor and to argue her point to the bitter ( ? ) end. Manv are the times that Catherine has saved the less brilliant members of ' 21 from receiving a zero as the penalty for non-recitation. She herself very seldom needs any such acci- dental (of course I interposition to avert the aforementioned zero, for last year she carried off class honors for scholarship. But where does she find time to do her work so well, to serve in the varying capacities of teacher, librarian and secretary, to act as our local Galli-Curci to say nothing of her famous law course at Fordham? Very many results are expected from that law course — a success- ful jurist, a woman of great political influence, and, — well, perhaps we had bet- ter not say what else, but we might just men- tion in passing that Catherine has often appre- ciated the view afforded by the bridge, of twinkling fairyland, New York City at night. Catherine, yours isn ' t a dual personality, it is one of numberless multiplicities. We know all the O ' Halleys comprised between the Catherine sweet and smiling of our dances and the Catherine who is perfectly at home in juvenile encyclopedic law books. She goes into everything with her whole might. Her energy, rising from some hid- den source, is without limits as is her entire lovableness. FDJM J Page forty-eight GRACE A.

Grace has held adverse opinions on orthography with said lexicographer and has agreed to disagree with him. As for the regular college curriculum, Grace never fails, and usually gets marks very near the rare A. But too sensible to he a grind and too level headed to be a genius, she does not often disturb the class slumber with brilliant speeches. She does her studying more for the pleas- ure ol it than lor any commendation, seeming to love the game beyond the prize. Perhaps tin- i- why she is ever willing to sacrifice the frivolities of youth to thr 1 l i- ill Institute Lectures. But Grace has her nonsensical moments. Indeed, as a connoisseur on giggling. — said position acquired through personal experience, — she yields place only to Mildred I etc. I Duffy. And whoever heard of a girl singing a song to herself?

Catherine is one of those people to whom and about whom one could talk indefinitely. She can make the most difficult stranger feel perfectly at home, for hers is a charm that is universal. Those who know her best, know that she is as willing to help you with your tasks as to go ' bus-riding las to while away your idle hours l.

The appeal to take an active part in the furthering of missionary endeavor aroused our interest and we decided to inves- tigate. It took a couple of months to gather together information as to purposes, ways, means, etc., but on March seventeenth the new society was launched with almost every student enrolled. The members decided to place it under the pat- ronage of our Blessed Mother, and in her honor named it the Stella Maris Circle. Our efforts are to be directed to foreign mission activities, not forgetting, how- ever, the new mission sprung into being at our very doors, — the mission to colored Catholics in Brooklyn. What mav be accomplished in the future we cannot tell. Arrangements are under way to introduce the movement in all the high schools ol the city. Guard of Honor of the Sacred Heart The Guard of Honor organized last year meets in the lecture hall every first Friday. Rev. W. T. Dillon, of the Department of Religion and Philosophy. addresses the members with short practical talks on vital topics. Retreat In the lull after examinations, we held our annual Retreat. Father Bonaven- ture C. P. conducted it, and there was much serious thinking done as a result ol his helpful talks.

But often she relapses for an hour or so into earlier pleasures. So it was that in September the Literary Society planned to bring the story hum hum among a pile of hidden treasures and fit it to the capability of a literary student. Since that time we have spent our meetings in the realms of the current -Inn I story. The purpose of the work is threefold. It aims to acquaint us with the best magazines, to show us the trend of the modern short story, and to make our literary meetings pleasant as well as instructive. And while we have been reading of modern ladies and knights some ol our member- have breathed life into a fond hope. Nineteen hundred twenty-one was made an immortal year in the history of the college by the Literary Society through the first edition of Loria, our college magazine. The Literary Societ) is proud of its achievement in this regard, and deeply grateful to those who have edited the paper, contributed to its pages, and assisted its publication substan- tially or b loyal encouragement and faith in the work. Rev. Father Campbell, S. J., who has been a steadfast friend to the society since its inception, opened our series of lectures this year by a talk on History in Liter- ature. February twenty-third was another day of special meaning to the Society. Miss Angela Keyes. Litt. D., of the English Department, entertained us by a talk on Keats the centenary of whose birth occurred that week. The Literary Societ) ha- not limited it- field to English literature and. therefore, cannot overlook Dante in this the year of his six hundredth anniversary. Assisted b the Glee Club we have planned a festival which will take place on April fourteenth. The speaker of the afternoon will be Mr. Arthur Bennington. On the twelfth of May, Theodore Mavnard will talk to us at the last of our literary teas lor this year. I!i subject will be the New Poetic Renaissance in England. Vcnes E. Byrne, ' 21. I I Cercle Moliere The Cercle Moliere during the past year has successfully continued the efforts of the preceding three. True to the purposes for which it was established. it has endeavored to foster an interest in France, her literature and her ideals. The interest in the society has greatly increased so that it was necessary to extend the membership and the scope of its activities. The Cercle has also become affiliated with the National Federation of French clubs, in the Alliance Francaise. On February fourth the Cercle presented its most ambitious dramatic offering thus far. This was the famous Esther of Racine, which we staged before an encouragingly large and appreciative audience. The cast had spent long days in patient rehearsing, but their success was sufficient to compensate them fully for their time, while the chorus also distinguished itself by cleverly interpreting the exceedingly difficult music. On March eleventh the first social meeting of the year was held. The mem- bers of the various classes provided entertainment in the form of charades and pantomimes, that were greatly enjoyed by the other students. Tea was then served, followed by the singing of French songs and games, and concluding with an informal dance. It is the earnest wish of the Cercle to have more of these informal meetings, which have always proved so pleasing to all. The members have not forgotten the French war-orphans they adopted two years ago. Many letters expressing their gratitude have been received from them. acknowledging the assistance that they have received from St. Joseph s. It is to be hoped that in the future the Cercle Moliere may continue as it has in the past, so that it may help us to obtain the enjoyment and broadening influ- ence that come from an intimate knowledge of another language and another people.

The ideal work is that which is combined with pleasure, and surely under the leadership of Florence Newman, the Glee Club has established a fine spirit of camaraderie that will always be remembered. The activities of the Glee Club have been so fruitful that it has now a very promising protege in the College Orchestra. Once a week the lunch hour is charmed away by the soothing strains of maybe Berceuse from Jocelyn. Every- one admires Catherine Shannon ' s conducting, as she gallantly waves the baton to the time of Mildred ' s accompaniment. The Glee club is in its infancy, but indeed it is a promising youngster, and judging by its lusty efforts during the past two years we may feel confident that its life will be long and vigorous.

Needless to say that it is of as absorbing interest to every class as are the basketball games in which we have all been greatly encouraged by the suc- cess of our teams. To Miss Tunny, our coach, is due a great deal of credit, for she has worked hard and faithfully to make our team what it is.

Such was our Senior Prom. Eagerly anticipated from the very beginning of our college days, it surpassed even our fondest hopes. ' Twas the dream of four years come true. Despite the shortage of trees, Santa was very generous with them, and because he liked our class colors he left mistletoe for all the nooks and corners. But the dance orders! Made of white leather, pentagonal shape like the seal of ' 21 and finished in her colors, green and white, they were the subject of delighted comment. In verse the Seniors greeted their guests of the evening and bade them enjoy to the utmost the season ' s gayety. Something in the air that comes only at Christmas time made all partakers of its good will and carefree happiness. Everyone was merry but none more so than the Seniors themselves. Truly was it written: Twenty-one, your eyes are smiling. And the heart within you sings You who ' ve trod the way together Know tonight the bliss of kings. But it came to an end as even the fairest dreams must — or maybe we ' d better say it passed from a state of being to a state of having been. For this night — a joy forever Time will echo through the years ! Committee Agnita V. Duffy, Chairman Eva M. Flinn Ruth E. McCormack Marian C. McKenna Florence C. Newman Grace M. Byrne Helen D.

The Junior Prom held on the evening of January thirty-first at the St. George Hotel, proved a most memorable evening. For the first time in the short but eventful career of St. Joseph ' s, the affair was held outside the college. The ballroom of the Hotel St. George seemed to have been made for just such an occasion as this. Artistically decorated with pennants and banners and those striking colors of ' 23, crimson and gray, it was a fitting background for the cele- bration of that night of nights. Once the musicians put fingers on their instruments you could not resist the strong call to trip the light fantastic. Guests! Why, you could not count them! And everyone had such a delightful time; in fact, most of them avowed that they had never experienced more enjoyable and gladdening hours. Commit lee Grace R.

And yet haven ' t you ever on Hallowe ' en had the weird sensation that thpre might be such things after all? We almost believed that thev existed on October twenty-ninth, the night of our Hallowe ' en Dance. Days of preparation in dimming lig hts with all sorts of fantastic lanterns and shades, turned our halls into what seemed a hidden haunt and rendezvous for all the ethereal beings abroad that memorable night. A genuine spirit of mirth and jollity prevailed and for the time we were all trans- ported to a veritable fairyland. The distribution of novelty hats and balloons proved a source of much amusement and pleasure. But the crowning beauty of the evening ' s decorations was the huge witches ' umbrella. Laden with streamers of every conceivable hue, it was a marvelous shower of colors, that seemed to frame a perfect evening. Through its network of tints and hues, the joyous couples danced till the sweet but, on an occasion like this unwelcome, strains of Home Sweet Home announced the hour of glad- ness at an end.

Duffy, Chairman Christine Gibson Veronica Hannon Teresa Keane Florence Newman Page seventy-seven tens Class History 1917-1918 Tis education forms the common mind, And as the twig is bent, the tree ' s inclined. Have you ever spent any time in dreamland? If you have you mav have some notion of the college life of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-one, which has been one long and delightful dream time. Our notion of college had been absorbed from some envied story-book girl. We had each and every one hitched our wagon to a star and dreamed of wondrous days to come. Of course many of our illusions of necessity faded, and yet our experiences wove themselves into one lovely dream. The school was a veritable little doll ' s house with its tiny rooms, and our first class-president a really, truly fairy godmother. The first absorbing occurrence in the life of a Freshman is initiation, and when- ever we recall that occasion we wish we might be Freshies forever. We vied with one another in preparing becoming and unique costumes for the event. Grace Reynolds, disguised as an attractive knitting bag, took first prize. As the days sped by we began to appreciate our position. With the class of ' 20 it was our privilege to build up St. Joseph ' s, and we felt encouraged, because, though only Freshmen, we were the majority in the college. There is but one thing more delightful than college life, and that is being a pioneer in the work. Ambitious to be worthy of our task, we labored earnestly, and in our pride at our discovered ability we almost overstepped the bounds of mere Freshmen. But it proved to be the old story of quarreling just for the pleasure of making up. To make this dream life more perfect we lost all account of time. Any night on which we didn ' t stay at Catherine Harahan ' s house we returned home not by clock time, but when we had laughed ourselves sleepy. You may ask where we spent all this time, but a bare description of the rest room wouldn ' t half do it justice. Yet again, perhaps any room which held that leather couch could have become our retreat. True it is, however, that even that very popular couch was a hidden detail the morning Marian fainted for the first time since we had known her. Somehow or other she was dragged to the couch, where every girl hung over her speechless from fright. No air or aid could reach her through that sympathetic group. While the girls were all greatly concerned they didn ' t make the picture equal to that of reverend professor, who had been teaching the class when Marian had performed her little feat. His was an expression of amazed helplessness like one stunned. Who knows but we might have all fainted in sympathy, had not a nun come to apply first aid? FDlMlS Page seventy-eight 3il rbav Neayj Page seventy-nine «fc FDOTEBjIilS To correspond witli our banner of green and white, we chose March seventeenth for our class day, and while we shocked some members of the faculty and annoyed others, we did not find it difficult to laugh away the hours. Eager to take part in everything which constituted college life, we joined all the clubs, and took part in every college activity, feeling all the while like youngsters after school is out, scarcely knowing what to think of the great, wonderful fairyland which had opened its doors to us in September. Our dra- matic talent first found expression in a little one-act comedy given by the French club. Florence Newman certainly told us some interesting things about Ze phonograph, and Helen Campbell painted Paris most alluringly. Since even dreams, however, sweet, are not everlasting, our first one ended in June, but this Freshman vision was a deep one, and the more we recall it the more vivid it grows. 1918-1919 And he is oft the wisest man. Who is not wise at all. lie missa est — and school life recommenced. We had expected that the dream side of college would disappear when we moved into our new building, but in this we had left no provision for the type of building it was to be. Fairyland had grown into a palace with tapestried walls, winding stairways, and beautifully- carved woodwork. Why we even found an elevator, and a pretty one, too. There were endless nooks and corners to be explored and a great diversity of opinion as to the handsomest room. Just as we thought we had decided that the reception room was most superb, some one doubted if the red room wasn ' t richer and more colorful. Then. too. we enjoyed many a moment speculating about the former use of the rooms and their occupants, which speculation even went far enough to furnish material for essays, and we were grateful for such suggestions in the English department. This year we lost two classmates. It was hard to give up Catherine Harahan. who had done so much to unite us, but she left us bravely and we could but follow her example. Catherine Scibilia. too. left a void in our ranks, yet we wouldn ' t sacrifice her health to the pleasure of her company. Our faculty grew side by side in with the building. Especially did the course in the literature of contemporary writers attract us. There, too, we spent happy moments conjecturing about the superiorities of Edith Wharton. Alice Brown. Alfred Noyes, Father Tabb, and countless other literary leaders. However, we were not so completely other-worldly that we neglected the prac- tical side of this great experience, and so it is that with Catherine Shannon ' s substantial assistance, ' 21 won the banner for the greatest pecuniary aid to the United War Work Campaign cake sale held by the college. FoiMilS Page eighty  = IK Page eighty-one FDDMHT5 - 3 3. , ' About this time we learned the truth of that beautiful teaching, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Our duty it was to put the class of ' 22 through the tests which entitle them to membership in S. J. C. ; so after we had led our successors through the lower regions we closed the afternoon by a delightful social gathering. You cannot blame the faculty for feeling that physically, mentally and morally, we needed some time for retreat in which to gather our thoughts and sober our hilarious spirits. Our retreat closed on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and to judge from the noise at breakfast that morning, one would imagine we had kept silence during three years instead of three hours and, for some, three minutes. Vie cannot too often reiterate that this college life is a wonderful thing — why, it even taught us to look into the future without consulting a fortune teller. At Christmas we showed to the college a few of the members of 1921 in 1951. Helen Campbell, as the widow of the late general, made the audience shake with laughter, and Catherine Shannon promised to be as irrepressible in the future as in the present. The luxuriance of the scene of all our happiness readily became a very natural and accepted thing to us but it seemed to burst forth in all its glory on the night of our first winter dance. The soft lights shone with a steady beauty, illuminating the lovely walls and ceilings and reflecting radiant faces and gay images on the highly polished floors. Beauty pervaded every corner, and it is safe to assert that no other noble home of knowledge could be so readily transformed into a salon of sweetest charm. Twas as if a bud had become a rose. March seventeenth found Erin ' s granddaughters whiling away another lovelv class day in brightest spirits. Enveloped in such activities as these we dramatized our dreams until the enchant- ing month of May had passed. With June came the meet, at which our girls held their own and carried off several medals. Our basketball team was especially fit. We closed the school vear with a trip to Bear Mountain, from which place even a thunder storm couldn ' t chase us. The sail homeward in the soft twilight was a delight of delights. 1919—1920 For Wisdom is Better than Rubies. Sometimee we wonder if there is anything so splendid as junior year at college. How full and rich it is! At last we were upper classmen, and yet we need not feel the responsibility which necessarily comes with senior year. Here we were introduced into the realms of philosophy and tried to distinguish between the instinctive, spontaneous, and intuitive acts of all beings. Non-beings, only a few of us ever grasped. September, 1919. brought to us seventeen staunch sisters. Best of all. our own numbers increased, for Agnita. Peggy, and Lucy gave us the FDDMflj Page eighty-tun tf The. li-oluk foo Page eighty-three ■■■ ■HHHPs Km FDDJPJII1TS £ ' experience of love at first sight. New Yorkers have a charm all their own. Peggy was cleverly characterized by one professor as the very fruit of originality. St. Joseph ' s, meanwhile, was growing with us and fast coming into its own. Four classes helped to give the place a real college atmosphere. We delved deeper into the founts of knowledge under the prni«1o--o „t an j ncreagec J faculty while lectures bv such notables as Agnes Repplier and Maurice Francis Egan became more frequent. Verum ad Finem we considered to be the best translation into words of our class personalitv. and we pray to be as loyal as our motto would have us. Our class rings, which we like better every day, gave us some tanaible hold on this same motto. From our historv and principles of education, we divined that education means the development of the whole man. Thus we went in stron lv for sports. The Sophomores defeated us at basketball, but we iust wouldn ' t let the Freshmen do so, and we tied. After our game with the latter, thev invited us to one of the verv best suppers we had ever eaten. It was served in their room, which felt as cozv as it looked pretty. At Christmas we prepared our little plav with the assistance of our sister class. If all children were like Harriet, it would be absolutely certain that a Little Child Shall Lead Them. The Junior Prom made life bright for main a week. To quote one girl — The triumphant march from the market dragging a Christmas tree in each hand is an event we s hall long remember. Neither shall we soon for- get our dismay when at the Prom in the height of our glory, one of the home-made Christmas tree stands lost its balance and tumbled down, an enormous, snowy mass, across the room, scattering the merrv-makers in all directions. The inter-class song contest brought out many things, but none so eminent as the distinction of being the poet class of S. J. C. This isn ' t the only time Mildred gave her verv best to her class. Class Dav found us gailv robed in green and white spreading our happiness in bursts of song. Studies and sports, and now and then socials, occupied April and May. Com- mencement for ' 20 came with June. Nearly as well as St. Joseph ' s first graduates did we enjoy this week, sharing as we did in all its pleasures, without the pang of saving farewell to college davs. Members of ' 21 were not among the least of the women of the Greek chorus, which so faithfully served the brave Iphige- nia, who gave her name to the Seniors ' play. After a class day of our own. on which we chose Grace Reynolds to continue as master of ceremonies during our last year, we prepared for Field Day. It was a glorious one, indeed, thanks to Grace Byrne. Florence Newman. Catherine Shan- non and Marian McKenna. through whose efforts we won the coveted silver cup. Grace brought to us also the distinction of having a member of ' 21 the all-around champion. And the time had come to bid adieu to Junior year. FDDM J Page eighty-four £ k.o ' .«t. Page eighty-five pfc r - 7 FDOiwirtTS 1920-1921 The fairest things have fleetest end. Their scent survives their close. With the dawn of our Senior year our ambitions multiplied. What would we not fit into this our final year at St. Joseph ' s! Great was the event which opened it. On October third, we attended the consecration of Bishop Molloy. Though well we knew we had lost a kind and winning teacher, yet his glory is our de- sire, and after the little informal re- ception at which we e n t e r t ained him, we realize that the new bish- op is our old friend. It was a keen disappointment to lose Georgette af- ter enjoying her c o m p a nionship for three years, but we are happy to feel that she is ever with us in spirit. We relinquished our three years ' class advisor and sincere friend to the interests of the college with as good grace, as we could command. H a 1 1 o w e ' e n BISHOP MOLLOY AFTER HIS CONSECRATION Self-forgetting, tireless, with clear insight, You showed us life ' s pathway old but ever new ; In our chameleon changes, swift as light. From young despair to joy so high and true, You guided us to the sureness of right ; ( tin friend — the noblest name we give to you. It tells its own story, for after this dance we learned many choice things within its hall brought the first dance of our Senior year. We spent the night with the witches and fairies who e n t e r t ained us gaily. Every Senior looked her best, and the even- ing was one of unalloyed pleas- ure. The dance orders of orange and black were made by the com- mittee. Did you ever think that the name of a dance affected its enjoy- m e n t ? If you didn ' t, why just dance over Owl ' s Prowl, or a Ghost Slide and you ' ll be convinced. Our good times are doubled this year, anyway, and you will know why if you visit the Senior sanctum. owed walls. FDDMflS Page eighty-six All the while our studies held us as much as ever, but perhaps it is Ethics which will be longest remembered as a part of the year ' s curriculum. December was accompanied by a return of our interests in theatricals. All in An Evening ' called into play the efforts of every Senior. The audience would certainly have grown impatient with Annabelle ' s two old maid aunts, had not these same ladies brought the hero upon the scene by their brusque hospitality. Even this, however, could not make us forgive that everlasting duet of theirs. In the words of the graceful poem which distinguishes the Senior Prom dance orders is permanently expressed some of the happiness which was ours on December twenty-ninth. But the story of this event is not so briefly told. The girls set forth highly a few days preceding the Prom in quest of Christmas trees. They were justly confident as they began this mission, for Junior year had made many of them Christmas tree experts. But woe to their hopes! Not smiles, nor dollars, nor pleading, would produce a single tree. Still not for a moment did this disaster impede their efforts, and the Senior Prom decorations would not have discredited any artist. We danced, and supped, and danced again, amidst holly, and laurel, and mistletoe with carefree hearts and gayest smiles. Since Seniors are not exempt in everything, we went through our January exams and are now on the last stretch of the road which leads to the A. B. Even our last retreat has come and gone. When the Freshmen challenged us to a basketball game, we went forth not exactly self-confident but full of zest for the contest. Then without anv regard for the general expectations, the Seniors scored another victory. Class Day this year was perfect, from the planting of the ivy to the Bishop ' s tale about Sallv. Its sweetest moments were spent at Mass in a body and read- ing or listening to the good wishes of the faculty and students. Perhaps every Senior pressed the green carnations sent to her by our loyal sisters of ' 23. Over and above the good times in store for us, we can clearly see the day when St. Joseph ' s will send us forth. We shall not say farewell, for we know that we shall wander back to the spot of our college life oftener than tongue can tell. So banishing all thought of parting, we are still dreaming of dances and teas. In fact, while the facultv banquet is ahead of us, we have time for few Other thoughts. Moreover, working and planning for Antigone will keep every moment busy and happv until hours in St. Joseph ' s are onlv glorious memories. Agnes E.

' He had asked Sally Packamander: Contramenteminseinalio? which in our feeble language means, Mind you, why don ' t you do that? (As a matter of fact, he was only asking a rhetorical question.) Am I right? Absolutely. How many understand? Girlie, do you? No, you don ' t! Miss Mary Parthenia, you had better read that in the library and be sure to close the door on the outside! I never teach with the door open. Don ' t think that because you ' re a Senior you will get through! Bust up the routine! suggested - — . You will like toime ! There are ladies in this car! Oh Pish, Tush! Several people were heard to murmur simultaneously, but an authoritative voice exclaimed, We have only one person talk at a time here! Then the meeting for which I had given her permission, was brought to a close by the ringing of three bells, for I was not in it for what I was getting out of it, and the girls had not paid their orphan money. Anyway, two minutes more would have violated my feelings. From the distance a sound wave wafts to our ears, Good Night Ladies. MARIAN McKENNA, ' 21. FDJM1L5 Page ninety - 8 i March 17, 1925 Oh, here ' s Eva, late as usual! I suppose you were putting the finishing touches on your article for the ' Dublin Review. ' Thus did Agnita address the late comer. Eva, ever on the trail for copy and anxious to hear the news immediately, disregarded the reflection on her punctuality and rushed into the group already assembled. The group? Why ' 21, of course, holding its annual reunion. Before leaving Alma Mater ' s halls they had resolved to keep the seventeenth of March their class day forever. And now, this fourth class day found them at Agnita ' s. She had just returned from a trip through the Philip- pines in time to entertain in her really, truly own home, — Agnita, twenty-one ' s first bride. Eva had scarcely been ushered into their midst, when the tinkling of a bell caused them all to exclaim as in one voice, Oh, who can it be? Immediately after, Agnes Byrne, attired in a widow ' s array, quietly entered. As sweet and demure as ever, but a certain sadness shadowed her countenance. Oh ! It was a pity ! She had been the first of the jolly eighteen to encounter life ' s pathetic yet beautiful tragedy. On the very eve of her wedding, death had snatched away her loved one and now she must travel life ' s pathway alone, for Agnes could never love again. But, wasn ' t that widow ' s veil, gracefully trailing over her shoulders, becoming? What a contrast ! Mildred, still manifesting a fondness for color, was dressed in brightest hues. But these were in happy accord with the atmosphere of the quarters whence she had come. She was now established in Washington Mews. Her clever verses had won her fame in the outside world as well as in college. Every few moments snatches of the conversations shed light on the doings of the different girls. Oh, Marian! Really! When are you leaving? Well, you see, it is a trip for school teachers and we sail the fifteenth of July. Our sojourn will be chiefly in Venice. Somehow or other Venice has always been attrac- tive to me. And now, at last, I shall have an opportunity of seeing the gondoliers in action. But, Maureen, you ' re looking prosperous. How ' s the newspaper business? Oh pretty good! I ' ve signed a contract with The Sun. Undoubtedly you ' ve seen ' Motes in the Sunbeam. ' Well, that ' s my department. Rather difficult business, but when you consider the five thousand per annum it has its compensations. Interruptions this time came in the form of an exclamation from Helen Livellara. Glancing out of the window, she shouted breathlessly. Oh, Mother of Pearl! — an ambulance ! There was a sudden rush to the window, — perhaps a little excitement. But, contrary to their expectations the excitement proved pleasurable. Helen D ' Albora in the garb of an interne, alighted from the machine and in a few minutes had joined her admiring classmates. Oh, I ' m so sorry to be late. But at the las t minute a call came and I had to answer it. Preliminary greetings over, once more the chatter commenced. Then sweet strains softly floated through the room. Everyone was speechless. Ves, Lucy had made her mark. As a recognized composer of Celtic music she delights the music lovers with her charming melodies. Page ninety-one tests Much laughter was provoked by Miss Campbell, who told humorous tales concern- ing the Dorothea Tea Rooms. You have not heard of them? Why, they are all over the city. Because of them Helen had not only achieved financial success, but her fame for clever management had been spread broadcast. At this point the maid entered and handed a box to Agnita. It was addressed to the class of Twenty-one, and bore the Shanghai postmark. Oh, Grace Byrne ! Just think! It is nearly two years since she went there as a lay missionary. Excitement seized all. Each one eagerly stood by waiting for the wrappings to be removed. This done, they found within little green and white packages, — seventeen in all. In just a few minutes the mystery was out. Little green shamrocks to which were attached two dainty cards told that Grace was about to take the big step. Surprised ' Why no. That had been foreseen long ago. Oh, here ' s one for Catherine Shannon. I suppose Grace didn ' t know that she had alreadv entered. Well, then we can send her the news. By the way, girls, I received a letter from Catherine yesterday, and she has sent each one of you a holy picture. In my hurry to catch the train, I forgot to bring them along; but I shall send them to you as soon as I go back. Ruth, immediately after leaving S. J. C, had accepted an appointment in a high school in the northern part of the state. Now she is head of the English depart- ment there. Methinks, however, her stay here will not be of long duration. Really, there are too many traveling salesmen, nowadays. On that day a person entering the room would have perceived a book lying open on the library table. Yes, someone had been reading, but evidently had not finished. Picking up the book he would have found it to be a volume of poems. Perhaps he would have been startled to learn that the author herself was in the same house, — Eleanor Howard. This was the second expression of her poetic genius. Just at that time it was attracting much attention from the literary critics. During the course of the afternoon Eleanor informed them that she was busily occupied in teaching street urchins the mazes of the French tongue, — that language which issued from her lips in such sweet and euphonious accents. Twenty-one had placed her stamp in another kind of work; indeed, in a profession rarelv entered by women. Photography! You never would have guessed it. But Helen Livollara, having been initiated into the business while a Senior, liked it so well that she adopted it as her life work. Eight by twelve, sepia finish, smile more better, smile in your heart — these are but a few of the expressions which had become an important part of Helen ' s vocabulary. Her studio is exclusive. Perhaps that was the reason why the class of ' 25 of S. [. C. had arranged to have its year book pictures taken there. Speaking of pictures, have you seen Helen Caulfield ' s latest contribution to the world of art? It was exhibited in the Freneau Gallery and excited much interest. For four years Helen studied in Paris where she became prominent for her washes. She had now retu rned to the U. S. and her floating in had already commenced. Had Christopher Morley written in 1925, it might be reasonably supposed that The Little Bookshop on Fifth Avenue had given him inspiration for his work Here every day one might have seen a tall slender woman, simply attired, pass in and out behind the rows and rows of books. No, it was not a profiteering business. All Grace desires is a bare livelihood. She does not urge you to buy; she merely wishes you to fliwiiffS Page ninety-two I £stiai get a taste for good literature, to find pleasure in books,— in short, to make them your friends. That is her primary aim. As for Florence, indeed she has achieved. Xo longer do we find her swinging be- tween heaven and earth on the captain ' s ladder. For now she commands a well trained force which carries out her artistic ideas in interior decorating. What she considers the greatest recognition of her talent is a contract which she has just re- ceived. It is to convert the former building of St. Joseph ' s College into a suite of reception rooms for the Alumnae. Her last work was the re-decorating of Catherine O ' Hale ' s new law offices. But even the seventeenth of March has an end. How all too quickly it has passed ' Departure would have been delayed even longer had there not been the expectation of assembling soon again. So, as Helen feelingly sings. Till We Meet Again. — Adieu. Florence C. Newman, Grace A. Reynolds. § 5 ' Eft-urn an iFittrm Page ninety-three Fli ifiS Something like the Poet ' s longing As he gazed on Sirmio ' s shore Is the feeling that sweeps o er us With th e whisper. Nevermore!
