Progress and expansion have been significant of our eight years ' history, but in this respect the last year has surpassed all olliers. One of our most cherished dreams has been realized. — namely, an addition to the College. The new building is spacious and commodious, containing in addition to classrooms, a splendid auditorium and a lunch room. The beauty of the old building has received added lustre under the hands of painters and decorators, and the Sister members of the F ' aculty have made it their home since March seventeenth. We now have the blessing of the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, for the Art Gallery has been transformed into a beautiful chapel. On St. Joseph ' s Day, March nineteenth, our Right Reverend Bishop celebrated the first Mass there. The College owes much to the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae for its interest and support. During the past year the Federation has conducted a series of lectures, the proceeds from which are to establish three permanent scholarships for the College. Moreover, during our drive for books, the Federa- tion contributed over five thousand volumes. The success of this drive enabled us to fulfill the last requirement necessary for membership in the Association of Eastern Colleges. We now have a fully equipped library, and Sister Lorenzo has been appointed librarian in addition to her position as Registrar. On April twenty-sixth, 1923, Sister Mary of the Sacred Heart, our former Registrar, was appointed Dean. The entire College rejoiced in the selection of Page ten one whom we know to he most tapahle and zealously interested in onr welfare and progress. At the close of a most successful year, we wish to express our appreciation for her wise management, which was largely responsible for its success. As the members of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-four pass into the History of the college, they feel a llirill ol pride at the thought of the glorious destiny of their Alma Mater, and rejoice in tlie knowledge that they have been privileged to share in it. C. C, ' 24. 1 9 2 4 Page eleven Page twelve (§m (El|a;ipl Little did the architects who planned the Art Gallery of the Pratt mansion realize that they were planning the home of the Master Architect. In perfecting a setting of Renaissance design for the beauties of art, they did nut know that the Author of Beauty was to dwell therein. But tliis is what has come to pass. Still preserving the Renaissance influence, an exquisitely lovely chapel has been fashioned out of the former Art Gallery. A richly panelled ceiling beautifully tinted in three harmonizing shades of burnt ivory is one of its most distinctive features. This blends artistically with the brown brocaded tapestry walls and the Circassian walnut ol the pews and woodwork. The altar, in square design of gleaming white marble, is the jewel in this set- ting, reflecting the sunlight as it filters through the stained glass windows in subdued radiance. Its severely simple yet graceful lines follow the general outline of the room. Statues of the Sacred Heart, Our Blessed Lady, St. Joseph, and St. Thomas have been placed in the carved niches in the four corners of the rooLu. while a miniature set of Stations adorns the walls. The first Mass was celebrated bv our Right Reverend Bishop on the Feast of St. Joseph, and our lives have since been enriched by the opportunity of making frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament. Benediction is given once a week and the Blessed Sacrament is exposed on the first Friday of every month. Everywhere in tlie Chapel there are evidences of the kindness and generosity of the numerous friends of the College. The following are among the donors: The Right Reverend Thomas E. MoUoy, D.D., Mrs. Margaret Doyle, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cahill, Mr. and Mrs. John Walters, Mr. D. C. Fauss, Mr. Gustave Steinbach, the Stella Maris Circle, the Class of 1922, the Class of 1923, Miss Amy Bonnet, ' 22, Miss Marion O ' Reilly, ' 22, Miss Mary Huschle, ' 22, Miss Catherine Lynch, ' 23, Miss Agnes Connolly, ' 23, Miss Loretta De Muth, ' 24. C. C. ' 24. Page thirteen Page fourteen (51i? ©Ill (§rhn (Eliaugrtli Wlien we returned to College in September, the appearance of things had al- ready begun to change. Ground had been broken for the new building on Waverly Avenue, and the work was well under way. Immediately we became keenly interested in watching the progress of the work and in seeing the new addition grow under our observation. Day by day, from the Sanctum window we watched the walls mounting higher and higher and found a new topic for discussion. When would the work be completed? ' ' What would our new abode be like? And then we wondered would it ever supplant the cheery, home-like haunts we had known and loved for three happy years. We knew in our hearts that it could not: that no matter how we came to love our new home, it could never have quite the same place in our affections as the old familiar places, Locker Lane, the Sanctum, and others made dear to us by the memories of happy and joy-filled hours. But these reflections did not dim our anticipation of the changes shortly to take place. In the latter part of February the new building was ready for oc- cupancy. Everything was so new and strange that the Seniors especially felt quite lost at first. When we met for our first class, which was Ethics, I am afraid we didn ' t quite appreciate the large, bright lecture room, and rather longed for the friendly atmosphere of the old Senior room. In a few days, however, we became acclimated and began a tour of examination. On the first floor we found a large lunchroom with comfortable accommoda- tions for all the students. The shining white tables and chairs were very cheery and inviting. The entire second floor is occupied by the auditorium, of which we are justifiably proud. Here we hold all our meetings. We take special in- terest in the dramatic classes because we now have the opportunity of presenting our efforts to the public. Two spacious, airy lecture rooms are on the third floor, and the biology laboratory has also been installed there. Passageways on each floor form a convenient access from the new building to the old. Page fifteen Page sixteen Perhaps it is not quite right to say old l)uikling, for the ehaiiges whieh Iiave taken place in it make it praitieally new. Certainly an Aliuiina visiting her Alma Mater after a year ' s absence would l)e astounded at the changes. The Art Gallery, the former scene of general assemblies, is now a ])eaiitiiiil (■lui|)cl. Three stained glass windows and the marble altar have transformed it. An air of peace and sanctity now hangs over this room, which once witnessed so many lively discussions, debates and lectures. The one time Physics Laboratory has undergone a radical change. Gone are the dynamo and other scientific ap- paratus. In their place we find a piano and other cheerv furnishings, which invite the students to spend their free time in recreation. It i in this room that tea is now served after games and lectures. All the changes, however, are not confineil to the first floor. The old biology laboratory has been removed, and the Sisters ' apartments occupy its former quarters. Our library has grown, too, with the expansion of the College, and the former Senior room has been added to it. thus affording more room for book-cases and increase of space for reading tallies. The entire building has undergone a thorough re-decorating. Every room is shining and new-looking, and the freshly varnished floors reflect gleaming walls. It seems as though the old building, jealous of her bright new sister, is seeking to outshine her. And so it is. that the graduate of even a year ago would find nnicli thai is new and miss much that was familiar to her in her Alma Mater. But we mu.st pro- gress, and if in so doing, old associations are broken, there are recompenses. Growth is necessary for life and surely we heartily desire that the life of our Alma Mater be strong, vigorous and enduring. And no matter what material changes take place, the same high ideals and purpose in life cherished from the beginning by our twelve apostles will continue to actuate their successors and serve as a bond to unite the old with the new.

C A S T K L L A N I ' ll do it. Do you know of anyone who uses these words more often or with greater sincerity than Concepta? No matter what the task, whether agreeable or not, she is always the first to offer to do it. Unselfishness is a part of her. No one has ever seen her idle, but she is never too busy to help others. Fortunate indeed was Twenty-four in having Concepta living so near College. Who will forget the lovely dishes transported from her home for our Junior Class Day Dinner or the countless accessories for plays and parties, which saved more than one situation? Concepta left us for a while to go to Training School, and lost considerable time through illness. The fact that she has made up all her work is a proof of her earnestness and persistency in overcoming obstacles. She has also found time to gain distinction in dramatic work. We are all glad of her success, for her loyal, sympathetic and gener- ous nature has a lasting place in the affection of Twenty-four. Unselfish, noble acts are the most radiant epochs in biography of souls. — Thomas Page forty-two CAROLINE C. CORCORAN How like an ethereal being transported to our globe is Caroline. She has a certain indefinable fragility and delicaty that would remind one of a pastel. She seems to dwell in a world apart, a realm of dreams that the practical things of everyday life cannot touch or mar. This is Caroline, but you have not yet met Carrie. That two such varied natures should make up one small person seems paradoxical, but that is what she is, — a paradox. Can you imagine an ethereal being playing basketball? That is what Carrie does, and it is not as incongruous as it seems, for she is very good at it. There is nothing fragile about her then. Or have you seen her rushing through the halls to class? Of course it isn t natural for Carrie to rush, but she does, and nearlv all the time at that. The practical things of everyday life interest her vitally. She is an essential at every party, tea or dance in the College. She is witty, too. How often have her naive re- marks i n class caused much merriment chiefly because they come at the most unexpected moments. She is ever sympathetic, good natured and true, and, above all, is unaf- fectedlv and utterly her- self. Caroline we admire and are a trifle in awe of, but Carrie w e dearly love. To those who know thee not. no words can paint. And those who know thee, k n o w all words are faint. —More Page forty-three M. TERESA I) O L A N Teresa has a strong and forceful character, one that is admired and respected by all her associates. She has the courage of her convictions, is intensely true to her principles and loyal to her friends. Evidently Tess believes in the saying, Order is Heaven ' s first law. Her locker is a marvel of neatness, her notes are the envy of less systematic classmates, she is always on time, and — most wonderful of all, — her dues are always paid — in ad- vance! In the humble opinion of Twenty-four, efficiency here reaches its zenith. In class Teresa is a source of great pride to her colleagues. She is a true scholar, and one Prof, expressed keen disappointment when she dropped his course. But do not get the impression that Tess is a grind — far from it. Only she is practical — she has a time for work and a time for play, and when she plays she does it whole- heartedly. When she came out for basketball she became star forward of our class team, she has a charm- IT VH IJ H ing voice and is always I _ P H| willing to entertain at I ' SJP our receptions and parties. A n d jinds n i t h ' keen, discriminat- ing sight. Black ' s not so black, nor while so very white. — Canning Page forty-four ANGELA Z. DONALDSON 4, ; . y The old saying that good goods come in small packages is amply proved by Angela. It does not seem possible that so many fine things could be wrapped up in one small person. Angela ranks high in scholastic ability. A s have followed her path through the College, and we marvel at the apparent ease with which she acquires them. She never seems to worry or exert herself exceptionally, and vet she always arrives with flying colors. As side-center on the Varsity, she is a marvel of speed and accuracy. She plays all around those who surpass her in height and weight. Golf is another sport in which she excels. Angela ' s droll remarks are a source of frequent merriment. Being a We-kan- duit, she is always looking for opportunities to do missionary work and on one occasion she remarked to a friend possessing a new hat, I like your hat, — you know we collect old clothes for the Missions. Though in size, Angela is one of our smallest girls, she is big in spirit, loyal, dependable and sincere, and as a conse- quence is well loved by all her classmates. A short saying often carries much wisdom. — Sophocles Page forty-five K MULLEIN M. D U G A N Kathleen is a contiadiL-lion. At times when the imp of mischief is dancing in her eyes she seems just like a naughty little girl up to some prank. But no matter how kathleeen teases, she never hurts. — and that ' s where she shows her other self, her motherly self. Early in our career Kathleen took Twenty-four under her wing, individually and collectively. She became our counselor, confidante and in many ways our guide. Her never failing sympathv inspires your confidence and her capability and depend- ableness induce trust in her judgment and management. There seems to be no end to Kathleen ' s resources. She is famous for the deli- cious dinners she has prepared at various affairs; she can tell your fortune and read your character from your handwriting. Her skill as an interior decorator was shown in the refurnishing of the Sanctum, and as for sewing — well at one time she made costumes for nearly half the class and thought nothing of it. But that ' s the way Kathleen is, she never stops to consider herself, b u t freely be- stows her time, energy and talents. She is cer- tinlv the most indespens- able member of Twenty- four. She (loth lillle kind- nesses which oth- ers leave undone. — James Russell Lowell Page forty-six RITA A. FEARON When shrieks of laughter are heard from the Sanctum, it is evident that Rita has just made a witty remark or that some of her famous sayings are being repeated to an appreciative audience. How often have we heaped blessings on her head because she put the Prof, in good humor by her gay sallies! Rita has that rare gift of being able to turn out the silver lining of every cloud. We predict a future for Rita in the field of song-writing. For any occasion, from a reception to the Bishop to a basketball game, she can write an appropriate song at five minutes ' notice. She possesses histrionic ability, too. Who can forget the scheming villain in Mayonnaise, and the soulful rendering of After the Ball? It could not be sung too often for Rita ' s convulsed audience. But Rita is not always entertaining. At another time we see a group of small children, open - mouthed, listening to Rita as she tells them about the nobler things in a simple The most manifest charming way. A won- derful change, you say. No — only Rita, a whole- some, wonderful girl who knows how to be gay with the gay, serious with the serious-minded, and at all times cheerful sincere and sympathetic. sign of wisdom is continued cheer- fulness. — Montaigne Page forty-seven CHKISTINK A. C IKS ON We are very glad of the existence of the Erie Railroad, for it brings Christine to us thirty miles every day from Nanuet, — and she is never late. How we envy schedule time, as we wait fifteen minutes for a DeKalb Avenue car, but then we shouldn ' t care to get up as early as Christine does. But Christine never frets about it. She takes things as they come, and when they aren ' t quite satisfactory, either removes the difficulty or else simply won ' t let it bother her. She is very independent, with strong likes and dislikes, which usually have a very good reason for being. Christine is unusually gifted. She plays the piano in our Violin and Mandolin Club, and has besides a very musical voice. Moreover, her artistic ability has been much in demand for our year books. She is a very earnest worker, but we must not forget that in her lighter moods she has proved a most delightful companion. Few things ore im- possible I o dili- gence and skill. — Johnson Page forty-eight ETHEL M. GLEASON Ethel ' s is a most striking and engaging personality. She is radiantly alive, and just to be with her is refreshing. You would immediately single her out of a crowd, and having done so, congratulate yourself on your good luck. For she is always good company. If you haven ' t heard Ethel sing So this is Love. you have missed a treat. She can entertain a whole roomful of people with a funny incident, notwithstanding at times the presence of one of the august Faculty. And this last you must admit, takes courage. But Ethel is not lacking in this respect. She may always be relied upon to speak her mind fearlessly and uphold her own opinion against any one. Whatever Ethel does she does whole-heartedly, and gets results accordingly. Witness her being Captain of the Class team and Chairman of the Honor System Committee — the latter a position of great trust and responsibility. As Chairman of the Senior Prom, she managed an affair which was one of the most de- Is she not brighter lightful in the history of than a summer ' ' ' L o ' lege.

Are you sad? She will sympathize with you. Do you want something done? She will do it willingly. Who is this remarkable person? Why. Mildred Hayes, of course! The longer you know Mildred the better you like her and the sorrier you are that you did not find her out sooner. For she has to be found out. Who ever dreamed that the quiet girl who entered in February of our Freshman year would develop into the class humorist? But she has. Mildred has a way of expressing her own thoughts and incidentally those of others in a way that is most entertaining and wholly original. One of the best parts of a vacation is receiving a letter from her. Her humor, however, is not the sole cause of Mildred ' s popularity. Generous to a degree, she would help others even at great cost to herself, — never even thinking of the cost. Her sense of justice is well developed, but always tempered with mercy. Kindliness is at the root y KSn ' ' nature and shows | ' in all her words and acts. you would be be- loved be amiable. — Ovid Page fifty VIOLA M. H E A R N S What should we do without Viola? In the midst of a violent discussion, who tactfully offers a suggestion that pleases everyone? Who knows almost instinc- tively the proper thing to do when difficulties present themselves in College? Who but Viola? She looks at things squarely and expresses her opinions sincerely and earnestly. And although her voice is soft and gentle, no one doubts the determina- tion back of it. Charming, gracious yet commanding, you could easily picture Viola a ' ' grande dame. ' ' She has the air. Did you ever notice the way she carries her head? Then you have guessed that Viola has perfect poise. This little fact, a remarkable personality, tact and good judgment make Viola an ideal Undergraduate President. The whole College admires Viola the leader, but we are privileged in knowing Ola, the lovable member of Twenty-four. She is always ready to have a good time, and has been an ac- tive participant at all teas and dances. Ola possesses a keen sense of humor, which adds to her attractiveness. As a friend she is most sincere and sympathetic. Viola is a great per- wim„ 3S sonage in the College, but Ola is a delightful girl in our class. A woman ' s strength is most potent If h e n robed in gentleness. L. MARTINE Page fifty-one ALici; M. M(;(;haini-: It is in the field of athletics that Alice will stand out most prominently in the memories of those who attended our College during the years 1920-1924. A member of the Varsity basketball team during each season from Freshman through Senior vear. she has helped S. J. C. score many victories. Moreover, under her capable leadersiiip. the Athletic Association has just completed the most suc- cessful year in its history. Alice ' s talent for writing was also discovered very shortly after we became ac- quainted. She is especially apt in writing comic poems, and we number among her collection, The Ode to Apologetics, The Wooden Hill and Old King Cole, her latest composition. Her ready pen is not limited to the above, for she is highly original and versatile. Alice possesses a spirit of sincerity that is admirable. She is absolutely depend- able and will sacrifice a great deal to fulfil an obligation. She enters into work and plav with zest, and everything she does is marked by com- plete thoroughness, for Alice is a firm believer in the principle, All things worth doing are worth doing well. profess not talk- ing only this. Let each man d o his best. — Shakespeare Page fifty-two MARGARET M. M E E H A N Music is Margaret ' s hobby. She both plays and sings, — indeed, sometimes in class she has been heard humming a little tune to herself, perfectly oblivious of her surroundings. Her devotion to music leads her to follow up the recitals of famous musicians and in music class she astounds us all by recognizing any com- position the Prof, plays. Margaret ' s attention, however, is not absorbed by one pursuit, for she is also keenly interested in literature and dramatics. No play can be in New York for any length of time without Margaret ' s knowledge and seal, either of approval or dis- approval. She is well acquainted with the new books and can discuss their relative merits fluently. Her views are decided, and she has power to impress you with the value of her opinions. Despite her nonchalant manner Margaret is very determined, and no obstacle is too great for her to over- come in order to reach her goal. She has a vivid and colorful personality, which rather scorns everyday things and seeks the novel and unusual. To kr ' ler was a liberal education. — Richard Steele Page fifty-three { K (; 1 A A. M U N Z To the casual observer Gene is an all too difinified, too reserved personality; but to us she is in essence, all that is charming. In the four years in which we have trodden the diflicull paths of higher learning, we have learned to respect the lo ic of Gene ' s reasoning. It is with a wholesome admiration that we acknowl- edge her idealism, a devotion to higher principles than those of fhe average girl. She seeks the elusive noumenon. Who knows but that she may have found it? An earnest endeavor and capacity for deep thought have won for her philosophic laurels. Yet her capabilities extend beyond the confines of scholastic endeavor. Her generosity and understanding have endeared her to many; her personality in- sured the remarkable success of the Junior and Senior luncheons, both of which were directed by her. As president of the iolin and Mandolin Club she partici- pates in its activities, and the exuberance and emotional power of her nature find expression in music. A genuine sympathy, a maternal tenderness and a loyalty to an almost deserted cause, a loyalty for which she would brave every danger and sacrifice herself, — this and more, is Gene. which is Prove all things: hold fast that Dd. — Bible Page fifty-four CLAIRE . OM ALLEY Perhaps the most popular girl in the College is Claire: Claire with her cheery, Iriendly manner, and her ready willingness to promote the happiness of others. Not even the Faculty is proof against her charm. ; A little bit of advice might be apropos. Never walk along Clinton Avenue with Claire if you are in a hurry, for she stops to talk with everyone she meets. And no one is ever loath to chat with Claire, for she has a lively interest in people and events, and possesses extraordinary conversational power. No one has even seen Claire lose her poise or become fussed. She preserves perfect equanimity under most trying circumstances. But she knows when to be- come angry too, and is absolutely fearless in attacking anything mean or unfair. A readv sympathv with the cares and troubles of other people is characteristic of Claire, and she will do anything in her power to dispel your blues. Don ' t be frightened bv Claire ' s dignified aspect, because she has a most congenial spirit, is always ready for a lark, and is one of the best companions in the world. Her air. her man- ner. all who saw admired. -Crabbe Page fifty-five M A H (; A H ET F. ORMONDE In the midst mf a psychological discussion one morning in Junior year, the door suddenly opened. The Registrar entered, followed by a dark slender girl unknown to us all. The new Junior was introduced as Margaret Ormonde, a former student of Mount St. Vincent. Whv is it that almost every college class somehow resents the entrance of a new student after freshman year? Within a very few days, however. Peggie, as she af- terwards became known to us. had won her way into our hearts by a charm which is at once arresting and yet indefinable. Now she seems to have filled a void which was waiting for her. though we were not aware of it. Peggie at first may impress you as being very quiet, but when you have become better acquainted with her, you realize that this is not altogether so. A friendly spirit, she is a welcome addition to any gathering. She has a very delightful man- ner of speaking which is very pleasant to hear. Peggie has a decided taste for literature. She loves to read and — this is truth, declares she never enjoyed any book as much as Vanity Fair. In our literature class it must be an in- spiration to the teacher to see the rapt look on Peggie ' s face. And grace thai won iiho saw to wish her stay. — Milton Page fifty-six MARY E. ST. JOHN For four years Mary has been our Class President. Why? Simply because we couldn ' t have managed without her. She has directed our affairs quietly but capably, and we have always felt the deepest trust in her leadership. Mary is one who inspires confidence naturally. She has a very strict sense of duty and a remarkable persistency in overcoming obstacles that interfere with its performance. Tactful, efficient, and dependable, she can always be relied on to manage big things successfully and without ostentation. Friendliness is characteristic of all Mary ' s words and acts. No one could be lonely or neglected while Mary is around, for she radiates kindliness and good fel- lowship, and can put the most bashful stranger at ease. Her constant consideration for the feelings of others is as beautiful as it is rare. Marv could be sarcastic, but she believes in thinking over a remark that might hurt and then not saying it. The things she leaves unsaid are a great indication of her power of self-control. We could talk about Mary forever and not be- gin to do her justice, for a star. her character is a mine so rich that we may never -George hope to exhaust its re- ,, sources. Meredith She is steadfast as Page fifty-seven MARION E. TKAK.EN Who danres exquisitely? Marion. Who makes hewitching favors for our parties and draws most heautifully iii our year hooks? Who else but Marion? Ill her the power of artistic expression is many-sided. Witness the metamorphoses of Twenty-four ' s coiftures. But we have never stopped to consider how wonder- fully she is gifted, because her services are always given so naturally and unob- trusively. Her ability, though, is not entirely artistic. As delegate to the Convention of the C. S. M. C, she ably represented St. Joseph ' s unit. Her selection, too, as Chairman of various social events, and especially the Junior Prom, ' showed the girls ' con- fidence in her executive ability. Marion, however, is not the tvpe whom you would select as business-like. She is a daintv little bit of femininity, hut behind her rather beguiling appearance we find a strong-willed, cap- able personality. In her convictions she is most positive, and is always able to defend her deci- sions because they are grounded o n principles of fairness and truth rooted deep in her na- ture. She is naturally quiet and serious, but oc- casional flashes of mis- chief add immensely to the charm of a personal- ity intensely lovable and universally admired. Nature was here so lavish of her store. Thai she bestowed until she had no more. — Brown Page fifty-eight 1924 (ifftr ra ecrrtarii SrraBtirrr Marian lE.

Neitlier do I ! That is why niy pride was injured on my first meeting with the class of Twenty-four. I was presented to them on their class day by their sister class of Twenty-two. My hat. the style of which they had ajjpropriated, was a little, round, red, bell-boy hat with a white chin-strap. Although they fussed and exclaimed over me with such silly remarks as: Isn ' t he adorable? niv feelings remained hurt. At the class party later in the evening, I was given the place of honor in the center of the table. From this point of vantage I observed, to my utter despair, my new associates. They were laughing and talking incessantly. Tlie Bishop honored them for a few minutes, and only then did they give anyone else a chance to be heard. I was very proud when he turned his attention to me with several questions as to my identity and place in the College. The class entertainment afterwards seemed very silly to me, but, I ' m sorry to say, the girls enjoyed it immensely. Two of them did a Spring Dance over which there was much merriment. Then there were Spanish, Russian and Hawaiian dances, besides some ridiculous recitations. Finally the party was over and they all went home, leaving me alone in a place called Locker Lane. ' As time went on I grew rather fond of these girls, and Locker Lane seemed very lonesome when they were away. One day they took me to a basketball game at Plainfield. There was a great deal of singing and cheering, and every- one, including myself, had a good time. I discovered that the girls of my class were extremely fond of basketball, for they played very often. Once they played the dignified Senior team, and had a lovely party after the game. I often heard the girls talking about their hazing, which had taken place be- fore I appeared. The shrieks of laughter that accompanied these discussions convinced me that it must have been humorous, although I could not understand it very clearly. They spoke particularly of someone who kept nodding a long Page sixty-one Page sixty-two red feather and saving: I beg your pardon, I didn ' t iiear what you said. ' This used to puzzle me, but I gave up trying to solve the riddle. There are many baffling things about these college girls. In the Spring I was very much annoyed because I seemed to have a rival in the class. This was the Freshman Frog. How those silly girls used to pamper that creature, exercising him and fixing rare (?) morsels for him to consume! But happilv all this attention proved too much for his health, and. to my great satisfaction, he died. They put his body in a coffin of flowers and buried him with everv display of grief by the old tree stump on the campus. When they returned to Locker Lane however, they were laughing as usual. Have these girls any real feelings? In June they took the Seniors for a tri|) up the Hudson. I went along and enjoyed the sail very much. They also took me to a beach party at Manhattan. I had a good time until we went on the scenic railway at Coney Island, and then — where didn ' t I wish myself? Nothing seems to bother these girls, how- ever, for no sooner were we off one ride than we went on another. When thev had only their carfare left, they finally decided to go home. The next day they cleared out their lockers and exchanged summer addresses. Then they were gone and Locker Lane was quiet for a few months. I WAS delighted when the girls came back in September, but I could see right away that they were changed. They were so self-important! We moved from Locker Lane to a room upstairs, where I was stationed on the mantle. No sooner were we settled in our new quarters than they began to talk about hazing again. This ti me, however, I discovered what it really was, and I must say my sympathy was with the poor Freshies. After hazing there was a nice party, to which I was taken. Later on some of the Sophs got out a new magazine A L__ :y called Josie ' s Gazette. ' ' At first I thought it was part of :r- ' S? :5 their class work, but when I saw how hard they worked at it I knew I had been mistaken, for, I ' m ashamed to say, my class is not verv studious. About the middle of February the girls seemed to be whispering and plan- ning a great deal. Being very curious. I soon found out that a shower was to be given to Ethel Walters, who was engaged to be married. I was taken to the shower, which was a lovely affair. Packages wrapped in white paper and tied with white ribbon were very much in evidence. After this the girls began to display a great fondness for ukeleles. Manv were the concerts held during free periods. One day, six of these instruments were playing Ain ' t We Got Fun? and the rest of the class was beating time. Un- fortunately for us there was a class in progress in the room underneath ours. The rest of this incident is too painful to mention. I was very glad to notice the good, wholesome interest in books which devel- oped in the class this year. One locker was converted into a library from which the girls borrowed the books. It was not until I noticed how keen was the bor- rowing competition that I became suspicious. I soon discovered that the library contained nothing but modern novels. The class began to talk about Captain Applejack. I was curious to know who this was, and soon found out that Ethel Walters was giving a theatre party and this was the name of the play. The girls enjoyed it verv much and were especially enthusiastic over their corsage bouquets. The date of the wedding drew near and all that the girls talked about was the bride and the gifts and what they would wear. After the wedding it was just as bad for they kept talking about it until College closed. Page sixty-three Page sixty-four In June the class of Twenty-two graduated, so the Sophs srave them a theatre party. After this they put nie awav for tlie summer, and left for vacation. WHEN the girls came back the next season, they were extremely friendly to the Freshies, and even gave them a luncheon the first dav. I wondered at this change of heart, hut soon found out that this was their sister class We went to sev- to see why ;md tiie luncheon was a College custom, cral parties about this time, and I liegan lunior year was termed a social one. The Class now began to plan for Junior Week. Com- mittees were formed and there were many discussions about the various affairs. The first week in February came at last, and never shall I forget that whirl of social affairs. The Junior Prom, held at the College, was the main event. Everyone looked lovely and the tiny red feather fans flashing here and there, gave a very pleasing effect. My class also had a luncheon and theatre party, besides the delightful parties given to us by the other three classes. But when it was all over, what do you think they wished? Why, that they might have the whole week again! Isn ' t that just like a girl? In the Spring the girls held Junior Class Day. They wore red and white dotted Swiss dresses, which they had made themselves. I was really proud of mv class that dav. for they certainly looked sweet and lovely. I was doubly pleased when I heard that they had made a hit with the Faculty for, to say the least, this was rather unusual. The Junior Dinner was a huge success, and the entertainment was just as good, — if not better in its way. Why they chose such names for the characters in the ))lay as Mayonnaise. Chesterfield, Herpi- cide Longfellow and Pop Chesterfield, is still a puzzle to me. The audience, however, gave ample proof of its enjoyment. Tlie next event in which my class took part was the Athletic Meet. 1 was not taken to this affair, and for a while, my feelings were rather hurt. I realized however, that the girls forgot me in their excitement, so I recovered my equan- imity. During Commencement week, my class gave the Seniors a luncheon at the Hotel Astor. I was not taken there either, but I am now grown-up enough to realize that 1 am not suitably attired to attend hotel affairs. Alter Connnencement, my class dispersed for vacation, leaving me alone again for the summer. I WAS rather anxious to see how my class would act when they returned the following September. I had al- ways been under the impression that Seniors were ex- tremely dignified and haughty. Somehow I didn ' t think this would be true of Twenty-four, and it followed that I was right. For when the girls came back they were just as friendly and jolly as ever. Right away they began fixing a place they called The Sanctum. I saw many lans of paint and enamel, and samples of cretonne, but couldn ' t imagine what was being done with them. When I was finally taken to the Sanctum I found out that it was a rest room for my class. I became quite proud of the fact that I was a Senior after I had been in there for a few days. What discussions there were in that room! Of course, as a member of the class, I shall not divulge any secrets. During November all that the girls did was build up walls of little ivory Page sixty-five Page sixty-six blocks and then take them down! At first I couldn ' t understand it, especially when I used to hear them say pung and chow. Then I found out that this was the game of Mah Jongg. I fail to see yet how Seniors could be bothered with such a silly game. They were interested in it. however, but only for a few weeks. Then the Christmas entertainment came along, at which I was proud to have mv class display its dramatic talent. The ensuing holidays were very lonesome. The new vear came very quickly, however, and the girls returned greatly ex- cited over their Senior Prom. This was held at the Hotel Biltmore, so of course I had to console myself at home again. For the two weeks before the dance, all thev did was talk over the plans, and for a week after it they were revelling in its success. .So although I couldn ' t attend, I knew all about it. In February the Juniors invited Twenty-four to their Prom. You may be sure niv class accepted, for an invitation like that comes only once in a lifetime. In return they gave a Mah Jongg Fete to Twenty-five. This proved to be a very enjoyable affair. Just now the whole College is interested in the opening of the new building. It really does not interest me particularly. I was rudelv evicted from the Sanc- tum for a few days but on returning was delighted to see that it had been re- painted. But alas! the girls will soon be leaving St. Joseph ' s and the Sanctum forever! They will have a degree to show that they have been in College for four years, but, because I am only a mascot, nobody will ever call me a college graduate. What my future will be I do not know. However. I shall have many happy memories of my Class of Twenty-four with which to console myself. C. O ' M., ' 24.

M. iluntor W tk Junior Week was ushered in on Monday morning by the gathering of the class in St. Angela ' s Hall Chapel for Mass and Communion. This, the first event of the week, has joined the Juniors in a stronger bond of fidelity and loyalty to God, to our College, and to one another. In the evening our Sister Class of Page seventy 1923 gave us a dinner at the Hotel Clarendon. As we sat in the mellow lighted old-fashioned room of the Clarendon, around the festive board, wliich was so daintily decorated in our class colors, college spirit was in its effulgence. Cheery humor and brilliant repartee flew back and forth. At the close of the evening, that deep lovalty to Alma Mater ' s ideals which, since our first meeting. Twenty- three has tried to pass on to Twentv-five. was impressively voiced in the singing of our college song. Tuesday afternoon found the members of the class hostesses at a reception to the Faculty and students. On the following evening, the Junior Prom, by the unparalleled pleasure it afforded, proved that its pre-eminent place on our program had been happily chosen. The enchantment of the music, the many-colored lights, the dainty gowns of the dancers, and the gav banter passing from one to another, were an all too wonderful realization of the dream which we have been cherishing since our Freshman davs. The climax of the night was the Promenade of the Junior class. The glorv of that evening beamed with a radiance of which all lesser joys caught but the reflection. On Thursdav evening we were led to a room at the end of the main corridor on the first floor of the college, which, at first glance, seemed wholly unfamiliar. The room and the tables were beautitullv decorated in green and white. Slowly it dawned upon us bv reason of various familiar landmarks that this was the old physics laboratory. The feast spread on the tables was a delicious supper, which was served by our sister Class of 1927. The whole arrangement was per- fect, from the dai ntv menu cards and little Junior mascots which were given as favors, to the delightful entertainment which terminated this enjoyable evening. Into three brief hours on Fridav evening were crowded a host of revelations and reminiscences which had been surging within us and seeking expression since the first event of Junior Week, for this theatre party was the first re-union of the class, by the class, and for the class. Its memory, linked inseparably with the debonair Gypsy Jim and his message of faith and confidence, will live long in the magic circle where our Junior Week is most cherished. There shall be guarded the talisman, the gift of Gypsy Jim, whereby all cares are banished: it is Me camavu lit. You have heard it in other tongues. Is it not sweetest in the Romany? On Saturday afternoon the Sophomore Class entertained us at the Imperial Theatre, where we watched Mary Hay sparkle in the delightful musical com- edy, Mary Jane McKane. We were flattered by the attentions of the Sopho- mores, who kept us well supplied with delicious candy, and did all they could to insure enjoyment to everyone. The afternoon came all too quickly to an end. Scarcely recovered from the charm of the play, we reminded ourselves of the fact that there was still more pleasure in store for us that day, and taking reluc- tant leave of our hostesses, we hurried back to S. J. C. in eager anticipation of an evening with the Seniors. Supper was served to us in Oriental fashion in the lantern-hung, incense-filled parlor. After the feast we were initiated into the mysteries of Mah Jongg. The unique charm of the whole evening ' s program gave our Fete with the Seniors a very special place in our Junior activities. The Junior Tea which took place on Sunday afternoon successfullv terminated the seven joy-filled days which comprised Junior Week. The reception room in which the Tea was held, was artistically decorated in green and white. The events of the whole week were discussed, and our Faculty Advisor congratulated us upon the success of our festivities. Such was the perfect close of seven per- fect days. E. O ' M., ' 25.

Meetings which, not so very long ago, could be held comfortably in the Art Gallery, now necessitate the use of our spacious new auditorium. This year too, we have secured our new banner, which is now in evidence at all U. A. affairs. The initial event of the season was a reception in honor of Bishop Molloy, on October third, the anniversary of his consecration. A doubly happy occasion was this, for in accordance with the Bishop ' s flattering wish, expressed to the students a year before, October third was also College Day. The happy faces of alumnae and fellow students, the cordial exchange of greetings everywhere, and above all, the Bishop ' s inspiring words, filled us with a real love for Alma Page eighty-one Mater, and a resolution, at least to altciiipt In ri-acli tlial idial of (Christian vonianlui(i l uliich slic holds dear. Two weeks later the Freshman were formally received as members of the As- sociation. After attendinfi the short business meeting which was held first, they joined in festivities with their older sisters, who instructed them in college tradi- tions and did their best to facilitate the business of l ecoming acquainted. Accordingly, the Freshmen were well represented at the ' Hallowe ' en Dance which followed soon after. The dance, which was held at the Hotel Astor, proved to be one of the most enjoyable thus lar. The annual Christmas entertainment was very successful, from the opening number by the orchestra, to the two short plays rendered by the Literary So- cietv. Sister Sacred Heart, our Dean, expressed the kind wishes of the Faculty to the students, and presented to each girl a beautilully mounted calendar and a league office-book as a Christmas token. Though we missed the genial presence of our beloved Bishop on this occasion, his message of Christmas cheer was delivered to us by his representative, Father Dillon. His words, although merry, held an undercurrent of seriousness which struck an answering chord in the hearts of all. On February twenty-eighth a lecture and tea which had long been planned, finally became a fact. Father Francis P. Donnelly, S. J., spoke in his own charming style, on Story-Telling in Homer, showing how remarkably that literary work of so many thousands of years ago. possesses all the qualities de- manded in the art of story-telling today. Father Donnelly was assisted in his lecture by Miss Gertrude Walsh, of the oral English Department, who read the passages from the Odyssey for analysis. We were proud to have so distin- guished a person as Father Donnelly, officially open the new auditorium, for it was on that occasion that it was first used.

In furthering their organization, the students have been greatly indebted to Father Dillon, who has been most g enerous in devoting his time and efforts to- wards perfecting the system. Page eighty-three Page eighty-four IC agitr of tit? i arrrii l rart Mildred Hayes, ' 21 — President Rita McCaffrey, ' 25 — Secretary During the past year the Apostleship of Study in connection with the League of the Sacred Heart has shown rapid progress in making itself more keenly and directly felt in the daily life of the students. Formerly, decoration with the Badge of the Sacred Heart was given to those who fulfilled the daily obligation of an hour of study, an hour of silence, and an hour of recreation. But in order to make these obligations more positive, this decoration now requires that the students receive no D ' s in term ratings in any subjects, make the annual retreat, and be present at every General Assembly. These additional require- ments thus correspond to and, in a measure, typify the original obligations. Meetings of the League continue to be held on first Fridays, when the Rev- erend W. T. Dillon addresses the students on timely subjects. Page eighty-five Page Eighty-six BUiiiX Mnvxs ( mU, (E. B, M. (E.

Their slogan, Solidify, spread like rapid fire through the unit, urging the girls to more intensive work. Nor was all this enthusiasm in vain. It awakened in the members the spirit of the Crusade, and they at once set about the realization o f its three-fold aim. The spiritual phase was naade successful by the many prayers and good works of the Crusaders. The sale of cake and candy, shoe-shining, chances on fancy articles and the collection of post cards, stamps and tinfoil, all helped to- wards the attainment of the sum necessary for the completion of the Bishop Molloy burse. Since The Shield the educational organ of the Crusade, has taken newspaper form, we have found difficulty in supplying the demand for copies. These little ways of assisting have done much toward the fostering of interest in our greatest activity, Mission Day, to be held shortly after Easter. This event of our scholastic years is looked forward to with the most delightful expectations, and with the co-operation promised it will no doubt fulfil all the requirements of a gala day.

Consequently a Dramatic Club has been formed in con- junction with the Literary Society. Two plays, Michael and Six Cups of Choco- late, were presented at Christmas time. LInder the direction of Miss Gertrude Walsh, several other short plays are being prepared for presentation, namely: The ! ' eighbors. The Maker of Dreams. Spreading the News, and The Florist Shop. The hour spent everv Tuesday morning in dramatic work is as pleasur- able as it is profitable. Rehearsals are conducted by student stage-managers, a manager having been appointed for each play. The Tempest is the Commencement play for this year, and will be performed at the Academy of Music on Monday of Commencement week. During the year Loria.

In pursuance of this interest, a new arrangement of activities was decided upon this year. One very successful addition to the program was the introduction of a solo by some one of the members each week. These individual performances have been instrumental in arousing a keen and productive interest in the Club, and the spirit of serious and concerted work has been noticeably deepened dur- ing the last year.

This council consists of the ofKcers of the association, the president of the Senior and Junior classes, the manager ol the varsity basketball team and an athletic representative from each class. The duties of the council are: to de- cide questions concerning the varsity team, vote on letters and other awards to be made and to approve of all expenditures. The impractibility of having the entire association, which is now very large, meet to decide each question that arose, influenced its members to form this council. The amazing growth of the Athletic Association during 1923-1924 mav also be said to have visibly expressed itself both in the increased number of our in- tercollegiate basketball games and in the addition of hockey to our list of sports. The latter will undoubtedly replace indoor baseball as our spring activity. An interclass basketball tournament, in which the victor was the Class of 1926, has also contributed its share to the developnrent of athletic spirit in the College. However, it is especially to Miss Calhoun, our athletic coach, that we owe a great debt of gratitude, a debt which the success of our teams can only partly repay.

There they are, neatly dressed in black, gold and white, ready to meet their opponents and to bring glory to the College. We really have a varsity squad rather than a team, and from this squad the players are selected as each game takes place. During the season, Rita Mc- Caffrey has played jumping center and she always gets the jump. Angela Don- aldson, as side center, is quick and steady, and small enough to move from one position to another before her opponent realizes it. Marguerite Conway, Cap- tain, and Alice McGrane, the two guards, form a very strong defense and keep their opponents from running up the score. Mary Lynch and Cecilia Dolan, the two forwards, can be relied on to elude their guards and to shoot baskets. The other members of the squad are: Sally Todd and Katherine Kilgallen, who have played in several games and have done justice to Miss Calhoun ' s training, Margaret Johnson, Agnes McShane and Estelle Stawiarski. So far we have played eight games, four of which we have won. We are looking forward to a return game with Mount St. Mary ' s, Manhattanville and Hunter. SCHEDULE OF GAMES St. Joseph ' s Mt.

Insinutor (Hhp (Strl irnutH Through the sunset of hope, Like the shapes of a dream. What paradise islands of glory gleam ! Doubtless these words of the poet apply more particularly to the teen age than to any other period of life. At least, we like to think so. On the other hand, in this systematic, yes, we dare to say over-efficient age, it sometimes seems as if, particularly in our large cities, these visions either wither away or are crushed out of the hearts of children by the mechanism of every day life. Scouting aims to adapt itself to every day life and yet to cultivate these existing glorious dreams of youth and to implant them where they are lacking, — a beautiful and harmonious aim, considering as it does that Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve. And hope without an object cannot live. Since Scouting attempts to fill this role, the influence it must exercise on the child is obvious. Hence the necessity of having Catholic children under Catholic Scout influences and hence too, the cry of our priests for well-trained Catholic leaders. To help remedy the appalling dearth of leaders by giving the students the necessary technique and background to undertake the leadership of a troop of Girl Scouts, is the main reason for the Scout Course in St. Joseph ' s. Though prepared by last year ' s students for something interesting, we were a bit dubious at entrance, but as the weeks flew we caught the spirit of our zealous and charming instructor. Miss Becker, and thoroughly enjoyed the meetings. The class, open to Juniors, was organized in the form of a troop, combining lectures on such subjects as Community Organization, Plans for Meetings, Storv Telling and the Teaching of Nature Study, with practical work such as games, knot-tying, experimenta- tion with Nature Study, and singing. To acquire skill, various girls conducted the meetings of the troops, and the other members of the class commented on their work. We had some animated discussions on holding children ' s interest, and we enjoyed and profited by the delightful chats of the various Scout authorities whom Miss Becker invited to speak to us. At the conclusion of the course many girls applied for com- missions in various troops of the diocese. M. McG, ' 25.

Especially is this true wlien you ar - a Senior, and the Senior Prom is no longer an anticipated delight, iml a bright. glorious reality as it was to Twenty-four on the night of January eleventh. The bright hued dreams which had heralded the night ' s approadi were dimmed by the splendor of their own subject. A gorgeous setting was provided by the large mirrored ballroom of the Biltmore with its heavy red velvet hangings. Red and white, the colors of our class banner, blended harmoniously with the background. In addition to their friends and fellow student . the Seniors were very glad to welcome a large number of the Alunina= and renew old ac([uaintance. At midnight the promenade was terminated in the suite of supper rooms. Gay jests and laughter floated on the air as the guests lingered long over the tables, but at length intriguing strains of music drew them back to the ballroom. There the remaining dancers loath to depart, glided away into the land of happy memories. Dainty red leather purses, stamped with the College seal, made charming favors for the girls, while the men received small leather bill folds. No memento is necessarv, however, to keep alive the memory of one of the most delightful dances of our College history. Miss Ethel M. Gleason, chairman of the prom, was ably assisted by the Misses Kathleen Dugan, Viola Hearns, Alice McGrane, Regina Munz, Claire O ' Malley and Marion Teaken. Page one hundred eight iL }t HallnutrVu §anr? The first dance of the college year was held in the Rose Room ol the Hotel Astor on October thirty-first. The spirit of the dance was a willing captive to the spell of the charm that belongs only to All Hallows ' Eve. the weirdest night of the year. The dance orders, attractive in their feline decorations in orange and black, interpreted artistically and truly the tradition of the witching hour, when ghosts walk the earth, when magic portent haunts the eyes of the black cat. and the witches fly abroad on their broomstick aircraft. The ghostliness of Hallowe ' en, however, could not subdue with too much fear- fulness the light gaietv that pervaded the Rose Room as with a presence never straving from williin those light, soft-linled walls. The great number of the graduates and undergraduates who supported the dance so wholeheartedly, proved its popularity, while their evident enjoyment of its every moment proved it to be. in every respect, a success indeed. Tlie dance was conducted by the Undergraduate Association of the College. The conuiiittee in charge included Viola Hearns, honorary chairman, Teresa Dolan, chairman, assisted by Rita Fearon, Claire O ' Malley, Cecilia McLoughlin, Margaret Johnston, Agnes Hearns, Virginia Fox, Maryon Kister. Irene Lavin, and Catherine Normile. A. C, ' 25. Page one hundred nine Page one hundred ten ®l)r dlunior Prom The mention of February sixth brings forth with marvelous potency an en- chanted crowd of memories that with their magic wands gild in the reminiscent glow of happiness all the incidents of the Junior Prom. The Juniors and their friends shared the satisfaction, not unmixed with pride, that is born of high hopes realized, of endeavor success-crowned. To the enjoyment of the Prom the Hotel Plaza lent the dignified elegance of its Rose Room, and Paul White- man ' s music the insinuating charm of its rhythmic melodies. There were beauty and mystery in the spectacle of dancers gliding to the oft-repeated liarnu)nious pleading Linger Awhile. their costumes catching, with the rainbows ' soft blending, shifting beams now of sunlight, now of moon glow, now of evening ' s purple. Each dancer carried a small green case, gold sealed, tied in white, an emblem and favor of the Class of 1925. Muriel Simpson, as chairman of the affair, promoted its success by her un- tiring efforts and excellent arrangement. On the Order of Dance was inscribed a quatrain from Longfellow, eloquent of hope, and, as the event proved, of prophecy. And the night shall be tilled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away. A. C, ' 25.

For the last year and a half we have been warned that this disaster w-ould be per- petrated. And what is the catastrophe? Why the students have been arranged in alphabetical order, owing to the friendly atmosphere of the classes. Weeping and gnashing of teeth marked the parting of Idlers ' Row, consisting of four scholars of unexcelled intelligence. Several of our most esteemed members are now con- sidering changing their names. How? Why, they ' re desperate enough to think of matrimony! ! ! Announcement Speaking of matrimony. Miss Ethel Walters of our illustrious class has an- nounced her engagement to Mr. Benja- min E. Bampton. It is expected that the marital knot will be tied in the near future. The Ga:cltc offers to the happy couple its most sincere congratulations, but it is with deep regret that ' 24 thinks of losing one of its most charming and jolly members. Incidentally Miss Wal- ters will be the first bride of S. J. C. New Dances Two members of our class, well versed in the Terpischorean Art have added to their already long repertoire new offerings. These consist of an Apache Dance and a Spring Idyll in ballet form, called Paul and Virginia. We are eagerly looking forward to their first appearance in these new members. The young performers will be very glad to accept engagements to appear in entertainments under reliable auspices. Their fees will be nominal and will be donated to the Stella Maris Circle. This society is the branch of the Catholic Students ' Mission Crusade formed in S. J. C. Miss Conway of the Sophomore ( lass is doing the most severe penance for Lent. For a lengthy extent of time dur- ing our cheery friend was seen sitting with her right hand behind her back in a most distorted position. Without a doubt this was most painful to our comrade, who was evidently trying to disprove Luther ' s theory that good works do not help to attain heaven. What the result of her experiment will be no one among us can guess. It is our private opinion however, that the object of the mischievous Mar- guerite was not the aforementioned one. We have our assumption on the fact that as a result of the experiment. Miss Hayes, her neighbor, narrowly escaped a violent attack of hysterics. Our ferry hound, Rita Fearon of Staten Island, always comes late for nine and ten o ' clock classes, but the other day she surprised us by appearing at about eleven- thirty for an eleven o ' clock period. The excuse she gave was that a man accosted her and asked if she cared to go to Cali- fornia. While she was debating whether she would have time to run out to Cali- fornia and be back by eleven o ' clock, she missed the ferry. Rita surely has a fine mind for excuses, but then — a poor ex- cuse is better than none. Our private opinion is that in attempting to study her Apologetics. Rita rode back and forth on this latest type of sea-going craft. The Sophomore Jazz Band rehearsal was interrupted recently by a visit from our Registrar. Just as the ukeleles were strumming Ain ' t we got fun, and two members were tripping the light fantastic, in walked the aforesaid official and dis- persed the gathering. They had been vio- lently disturbing the peace of other classes, making a chandelier shake dangerously in a room where a professor was philosophi- cally addressing his class. The ire of the Superior was such that the students all Page one hundred fourteen followed the example of that famous bal- lad The Wreck of the Hesperus, for they spoke not a word, frozen corpse were thev all. One of our members is now suffering from a new disease called Vagueness of the Doctrine of Justification This mala- dy attacked her when called on to recite in History class.

Helps our team every victory to gain. As a guard she ' s so fleet. Her, no one can beat — The result of her loss is quite plain. A young Miss whose name rhymes with days Is witty in all of her ways. She travels from Baldwin, When she gets here, is all in. — Commuting, she cries, Never pays. A Senior whose name is Christine. On music ' s exceedingly keen : The piano she plays When moved by the craze. And at socials, she ' ll always be seen. There is a blond maiden I ' ve seen, Demure, yet quite witty, I ween; Since our Ethel has grown She can travel alone. But she chooses to go with Kathleen. There ' s one who as leader grew ; Loyal and brave Happy and grave. You know we mean Mary, you do. There is a Miss in S. J. C. Who dresses very stylishly, Margaret ' s her name, — Of her they exclaim: Oh ! What a fashion plate ' s she ! A Senior they call Concepta, No doubt you must have met her: When in trouble you ' ll find She ' s ever so kind: Her friends know that there is no better. There is a girl on the varsity team. When she starts to play all the girls scream: She guards so well That all can tell When iVIarguerite is on the scene. Viola Hearns, you ' ve heard us say. Is kind and good in every way; She is so sweet — You ' d like to meet The president of our U. A. Our sweet Carrie loves cinnamon-pops, They are bought in the very best shops: Now to some that you meet; Choc ' late fudge is a treat But to Carrie, it ' s cinnamon-pops. There is a young girl named Claire, Who is both clever and fair; Her eyes are so blue Her laugh is so true — This girl with the titian hair. Our Angle, as I ' ve heard it said. Is quite an awful sleepy head: In class, it seems. She dreams and dreams. And wishes she were home in bed. Page one hundred seventeen If good old Euclid were alive.

So it is that St. Joseph ' s College Alumnae, still in its beginnings, is, nevertheless, in possession of a clear and definite vision of its work. and. not stepping o ' er the bounds of modesty. ' we dare hope that we have builded better than we knew. Yet you shall be our judges. Know then first ol our close affiliation with the International Federation of Catholic Alumnai ' through membership in the Brooklyn Circle of that organiza- tion. At this point the still small voice of gratitude encourages us to thank that generous body for its unstinting devotion to the cause which is so dearly ours. That you may add for us your note of thanks, we remind you that they it is who have increased the usefulness of our College Library by the gift of thousands of books and worked to endow our College with three additional scholarships. Perhaps, more than all else, their interest in our welfare is one of the greatest benefits we shall know. But we realize that works — not words — are the measure of gratitude, as of love. May ours be full to overflowing! It is a step in the right direction to have received honorable mention for our at- tendance at the aimual luncheon of Brooklyn Circle. Among our own less pretentious activities, we score our Annual Dance held at the Plaza on November twenty-sixth. Through the untiring efforts of Ethel M. Kellam and her committee, the affair was a social and financial success. The annual Conmiunion Breakfast of March twenty-third was twice glorious by reason of the privilege enjoyed in having Mass celebrated in the new Col- lege Chapel. Breakfast at the St. George was delightful, thanks to the careful arrangements of Catherine A. Shannon and conmnittee. To increa.se our scholarship fund we shall hold our annual card party on May fifth. The returns of last year encourage us to believe with the Greeks that Industry is all, ' and we know that : Experience is by industry achiev ' d -And perfected by the sweet course of time.

S liile they placed lirsl in their hearts and activities the welfare of St. Josepirs Aliiimue. they have not lost sight of the fact that every man is the architect of his own fortune. Listening in on any of their sorority meetings, we sIkhiM learn of their various occupations. Their teacher-meinhers numher five — the Misses Canning, Uhlinger, Florence Nolen. . lc(-onnell and Parks. Tlie recent announcement of the engagement of Miss Nolen leads us to helieve that her vo- cation shall soon overshadow her avocation. Before this a similar call has been charminglv responded to by Anna McDonald Danneniiijer and Marion Clarke McManus. Babv Joan McManus has come to take her place as the particular joy and delight of Twenty. The business wor ld has opened its doors to Miss Marjorie olan and Miss Annunciata Scibilia. June 1924 will bring to Twenty the distinction of having an M.D. in the person of Miss Amalia Simonetti. The class counts among its number three who have achieved Master of Arts — Misses Canning, Parks and Scibilia. It but remains for us to peep into the homes of the Misses Kellam and Roche, for it is at home rather than abroad that they have found employment for the service and devotion acquired at College. Yet we cannot feel that the story of the activities of the Class of 1920 ends here: for of all be it said: We know what we are. Iiiil not what we may be. 1 U2 1 The inaudible and noiseless foot of time brings us once more to the hour v fhen Alma Mater asks, Are you good men and true? To her. who was our guide, philosopher, and friend, our answer is twciiold; First we say, Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne ' er was, nor is, nor e ' er shall be. Second we append that roll-call of the Class of Twenty-one: Eva M. Flinn, postulant of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, has found prayer all her business, all her pleasure praise. Mildred M. Duffy, novice of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, Remote from man. with God she passes her days. Because extremes in nature equal good produce we next call Marian Mc- Kenna Doyle and Maureen Bingham Brady, the former making home happv in Jersey City, the latter devoting her talents to the well-being of Patricia Brady, aged six months.

As the last voice makes answer, we turn urgently lo vou who hear and say: Think naught a trifle, though it small appear: Small sand the mountain, moments make the year and trifles life. 19 2 2 It would seem that the group of our Alumnae which we call Twenty-two, has adopted for its motto, Do good by stealth and blush to find it fame. for as we sought them out to meet this hour when every man ' s work shall be made manifest, we found it difficult to win their confidence. Knowing full well, how- ever, that everv man ' s experience is a lesson due to all, we have managed to creep in upon their reticence. Somehow for them college davs seem but prolonged for thev are nearly all continuing to behold the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of studies. We find divided between Fordham and Columbia, the Misses O ' Reilly, McKenna. and Thompson. Is it the lessons learned or the profession adopted that thus urges them on. or may it be that thev have been confronted by the consideration. If thou has gathered nothing in thy youth, how cans ' t thou find anything in thine age? Nor are these alone the teachers of Twenty- two. The list is lengthened by the Misses O ' Dwyer, Hannon, Keane, Kramer, McMurray and Monahan. Miss Huschle has elected to study law and will shortly win an LL.B. at Fordham. To home life Twenty-two has given a mem- ber — Sarina Cali Rocca. What we have learned of this class of 1922 we have told to you for an honest tale speeds best, being plainly told. 192 3 If you would learn the luxury of doing good, beg leave to attend a meet- ing of the Alunmas ' s newest sisters. It would seem that they have learned to repeat to themselves the assurance that We all can do better than yet we have done and not feel a whit the worse.
