To portray the memor- able events of the year interestingly and in a manner worthy of the College; to interpret and intensify the spirit of Alma Mater; to foster her best traditions; to preserve a record of the no- blest things, the sweetest things and the funni- est things in our undergraduate life — this is the purpose of the 1925 Footprints. If it retain after many seasons ' passing some communi- cable spark of the enthusiasm of these years or inspire a return to their inconsequent spirit and unfailing optimism, it will have proved its claim to a place in our library, and in our hearts.

And it seems that the sun on your walls shone more fair — Even clouds could not lessen its light: For that symbol of good midst your bowers found mate. And shed lustre in bliss at the sight. True to God, to our neighbor, to self and to you. Your fond daughters we ever will be; And our thoughts and our hopes, like sweet incense, will rise To give honor and blessing to thee.

Page nine OlltOt AN Extensive addilions lo llie caiu|jU!- that came witli tl)e year 1924 liave tuuii(i in 1925 their full jiislilication. The ni ' w huiidirifi;. considered so spacious by the luuuhed-odd students of a year ago, is daily taxed to its capacity for the con- eiiierice of a number that now exceeds two lumdred. Our increased registra- tion is probably the most obvious determinant of the year ' s chronicle. It has directed an internal growth as well as a steady expansion of influence and pres- tige in the outward contacts of our college. The International Federation of Catholic Alumnje has continued to devote much of its effort in Brooklvn to the general and material advancement of St. Joseph ' s. The highly successful course of lectures which its members conducted through the assistance of noted speakers, has been devoted, in its financial as- pect, to this purpose. A word of appreciation within these annual jjages is the least recognition the Federation can receive: yet its work is an important incident in the storv of our early development, as it will be in the annals of our ultimate success. On the campus, we note with pleasure the appointment of Sister M. Philomene as Superioress of the community constituted by the Sister-members of the faculty and the addition of Sister Dolores Maria to the department of science. Dr. Cyril Goddard has conducted the course in Formal Logic during the second semester, and Senora Raffelli at present holds the professorship of Spanisli. The regretted temporary absence of Mr. A. I. du Pont Coleman from the English stafif has resulted in the installation of a substitute professor, Mr. George N. Shuster. The student body has manifested a decided increase in the scope and intensity of its activities. Greater interest in the various clubs is the happy result of the impetus thev have felt both in independent pursuits and in co-operative arran ge- ments with the Undergraduate Association. The present large membership of the association has made possible a strict demarcation of the lines separating the various societies from one another in members and interests. Consequently each has been able to fulfill its purpose in a more representative manner, and to demand greater regularity in the arrangement of programs and meetings. The most significant mark of progress in student activity during the year is the extension of the Honor System ' s application to include points of conduct formerly directed by considerations less stringent than honor. It indicates a heightened conception of honor ' s place in ordinary living, and an approach to the consistency of the truly honorable in the application of honor to little things. Our chronicle is somewhat lacking in incident: it records our growing up to the stature appointed for us in 1924. But our physical growth is not the blind development of natural causes; it is the outward sign of mental and spiritual progress. We feel the march of this progress to be at once swift and steady, giving us ample opportunity to greet with joy what is new, and to part appre- ciatively, sympathetically, with what is passing. A.

A U BERT St. Joseph ' s College chose wisely and well when it made Marion Aubert chairman of the Honor System Connnittee. Because she is sincere and has a high ideal of honor, she is admirably suited to this most exacting position. Her duties have been fulfilled in a faithful way that glorifies the trust placed in her. But perhaps even more delightful than her tact and idealism is her perfect naturalness at all times. Marion has a simplicity of manner that is charming, and which, allied to her good sense and judgment, has won for her the unstinted ad- miration not only of her classmates but of the whole college. It may truly be said of her, Those about her from her shall read the perfect ways of honor. However, for the future, we do not picture Marion extending her Committee ex- perience to reforming political organizations, but rather as extending her social ex- perience; for a college prom is yet to be where Marion is not among those present. ' ' ' ' How briJUant (iiid mirthful the tighl in her eyes. Like a star glanc- ing out from the blue of the sky- Page forty-one A G N E S M. C i{ l{ Y Oh! keep still! Dun 1 be breaking the continuit . Now, go ahead Agnes, I ' m dying to hear the end. Well, the point is just this — The blue-grey eyes light up with mischief and exeitement: one of her famous happy thoughts is about to be broadcasted — within limits. How often we want to break down these limits when the light fades, and we hear Agnes ' s No, not now — I II see vou later. The reward of waiting is usually a clever witticism or a new light on a much discussed College question. For, possessing a keen, analytical mind, she does not lack that spontaneity usually attributed only to the impetuous. Her fine college spirit is enhanced bv this characteristic ardor. Agnes ' s executive ability and literary talents, developed in two years ' apprentice- ship on the Loria Board, have won for her an enviable position as Editor-in-Chief o f Footprints. Her well-worn Secretary ' s quill is another evidence of her reputation for re- liability. Agnes can always be depended upon: whatever she prom- ises, whether it be party decorations or a striking poster, is ready on time. But with all her steadi- ness and reliability she will keep us waiting for her at the Strand. Whence and why? It is a question 2.5 has never been able to answer. Do YOU not know I am a woman? When I think I must spfak. ' ' Sweet, say on. Page forty-two SYLVIA M. C R S I G L I A To Svlvia belong the giaie. the emotional lire, and the gift of musical expression that are the proud herit age of th(ise who boast Italian ancestry. She has also that delightful desire to please which is ty|)ical ot the warm southern nature. At all of our parties, Sylvia has played for us, not only the modern jazz tunes, of which she knows an infinite number, but also the more lovely airs of France and Italy. ' hen she tires of playing, for her mood changes before we have had half enough, she dances those old Spanish waltzes which range in tempo from the stately measure of the grandee to the staccato tapping of high heels with clicking of castanets. But come into our class and you will see another Sylvia — a thoroughly business- like student giving her attentive interest to every lecture and taking copious notes in the neatest and most perfect notebook we have ever seen. How we envy Sylvia ' s circumspection, in time of e.xams! W e cannot predict Sylvia ' s future, but we do know that wherever she does, she will always have time, or make time, to enjoy and help others to enjoy the warm beauty which she finds every- where in life. Dear creature! youd swear When her delicate feet in the dance twinkle round That her steps are of light, that her home is the air. And she only par com p I a i s a nee ' touches the ground. Page forty-three I) ( i; () T II ' I . I) I M 1 ' S E Y Washington Heights is a long way off, hut Dorothy eventually reaches St. Joseph ' s all in one piece. Experience has taught her that time, tide, and the third hell wait for no student. Dorothy, who, by the way, is ' 25 ' s Sappho, has found cross-word puzzles of great assistance in composing sonnets. After one has found a two-letter word meaning a ten-toed turtle with bristly eyebrows, one must experience little diflicultv in finding a rhyme for love. ' With puzzles and poetry. Dorothy ' s time has been fairly well taken up, but she can always make time for a little trip down to Annapolis or for a dance at the Park Lane. She has even been known to desert the Muse to haunt a certain confectioner ' s shop which will some day take its place with Will ' s Coffee House and the Mermaid Tavern as a rendezvous of the famous. But, of course, before one can write real poetry one must see life steadily and see it whole, and Dorothy, being very V o u n g , has not yet reached that lofty height. In addition t o being |joetical, Dorothy is also a musician. Wlienever somebody was wanted to  make the piano talk or jazz without notes, Doro- t h y was inniiediately .- summoned. She never lired, and she knows everything from Lohen- grim to the latest musical comedv chorus. All my possessions for one moment of time. ' Page forty-four G E R T R i; D E M. D I L W R T H Gertrude Marv Dilworth That name is written in a large, flowing hand on every book, pamphlet, and magazine which its owner possesses. If the expert chiro- grapher can tell a person ' s character from her handwriting, the veriest tyro in the science could tell at a glance that Gertrude ' s most prominent characteristic is gener- osity. She is willing to help whenever she is needed, no matter how many of her own affairs happen to be clamoring for her attention. We girls of 25 know how helpful Gertrude can be. If there was ever anv work going on round the college — decorating, cooking, studying, or entertaining — she was in the thick of it. And who could desire a better nurse than Gertrude? When anyone became ill. Gertrude was always there to see that she didn ' t fall down- stairs and to get anything that was necessary to her comfort. There are limits, how- ever, even to generosity, and Pat sometimes exceeded them. She has been known to buy seven fountain pens in one semester! (That ' s official!. And there are other things in which she in- dulges too. She was an en- thusiastic supporter o f every dance and social event during her college career. Her popularity is due in a large measure to her easy accessibility. her ready tact, and her desire to put everyone at ease. 0. Woman! in our hours of ease.

I I) () I, A N It is Judgment Day, with only two minutes to go, before heaven ' s portals ai;e closed with an angelic slam. Above the din of the clamoring multitude that lines the celestial walls, a wearv. pleading voice is heard, Cele. will you please hurry? But she is too engrossed in arguing with some track fan the relative merits of Paavo Nurmi and the last earthly champion: and besides there ' ll be time enough to ex- plain to St. Peter, who. being human like the rest of us. certainly won ' t be immune to a flashing smile and Irish eyes. Yes. twas ever thus with Cele. ' ho would ever take the winner of countless track events and the efficient forward of S. J. C. ' s ' Varsity to be a straggler in other matters? Under Cecilia ' s management as President, the Athletic Association, has had an extremely successful year — in fact, the most successful in its history. Owing to her progressive policy, baseball, hockey, and especially basketball have been placed on a much firmer and broader basis than ever before. However, Cecilia does not confine her sports- manship and executive ability only to the field of athletics, for she has found ample opportunity to show her practical idealism in her daily as- sociation with us. What good sport is out . . . today? Page forty-six VIRGINIA A. FOX The song-writer who extolled the Sunshine of Virginia must have had in mind Virginia, our own sweet singer. No Pollyanna is our Virgie, but rather one whose charming personality puts everyone at ease in her presence- She has a degree of poise unusual in one so voung, especially in this dav and age when gush- ing spontaneity is the thing, and quietude is at such a premium. So great is the effect of this characteristic that, to the casual observer. Virginia seems cold and aloof. It is only her intimate friends who know the warm-hearted sympathy and understanding which her reserved manner conceals. This poise, together with a clear voice and a good dramatic sense has made her a prominent figure in all our plays. As Hermia in iMidsummer Nights Dream, and Ferdinand in The Tempest, not to mention the humorous Bartley Fallon in Spreading the News, she did much to contribute to the success of those produc- tions. Virginia has one characteristic. w h i c h profs find admirable, but which her classmates sometimes find madden- ing. She is that person who always has every- thing done at the time it should be done. If Pro- crastination is the thief of time he never got any from Virginia Fox. perject uoman, nobly phinneil To warn, to com- fort and com - mand. Page forty-seven i,() M i; N I! (; I () i; c I () The quiet and delightful companionship of Phil ha? been one of the jovs of the class of 25. Always rather shy and almost too retiring, she has nevertheless won the lasting friendship of her classmates by her very calmness. Phil is a good listener, a rare quality in these days of lady politicians. She has the gift of understanding silence, which has made her the sharer of many confidences. Looking at her, one is apt to imagine that she is very serious and solemn, but she really has a most keen sense of humor, the kind that keeps one chuckling in- wardly for days after. As a student, Phil has always stood among the first, especialU in the Romance languages, which are her favorite subjects. She is also a philosopher — not one of the text-book variety — but a real philoso- pher who has learned to look for the bright side of things, however dismal they may at first a|)pear. This gift of quietly making the best ot things has made a Phil a most ami- able comijanion. One who has had the privil- ege of enjoying her sin- cere companionship may well say of her — Thv modesty is a candle to thv merit. ' ' ' Hers i s a sj)irit deep and crvslnl- clear; Calmly beneath her earnest fare it lies. Free without bold- ness, meek with- out a fear. Quicker to look than speak its sympathies. ' ' Page forty-eight ALICE A. GRAINGER Can vou not see the niisihiel lurking behind Alice ' s eyes? Even in her most serious moments you always fee! that she will presently laugh and that weighty problems will then soon be forgotten. Social engagements never had to give way to educational demands. Alice was a prominent attendant at every dance given by the College during her career, there- by upholding the best traditions of social spirit in our college. But oh! the morn- ing after! U ' Tien you have dragged yourself out of your downy bed after about four hours of sleep and find yourself in class with a prof who insists upon asking questions and receiving answers, you begin to feel the force of the expressive phrase, When a feller needs a friend. However. Alice always managed to scrape up some sort of answer gleaned from other nights when, there being no dances on hand, she did studv. And the skies were once more serene. We should have to stretch our imagination to the breaking point to be able to see Alice be- fore a class of young- sters, teaching them the three R ' s. Happily, how- ever, she saved us that possible injury by com- placently announcing that her ambitions go no farther than being a model housewife. A pair of eyes. Whose teasing is most pleasing. ' ' Page forty-nine c A T II i; i; I !■; II N N To those of us who. entangled in a whirl of collegiate activities, occasionally become flurried or excited, Kay is at once an inspiration and a torment. In the midst of all confusion, we find her serenely unruffled. To imagine her in a tick- lish situation is impossible: to imagine her roused to anger is ridiculous. A naturally sweet dis])o iti(in cou])led with a positive art in gliding over the un- pleasant, has produced this state of jierfect and enduring equanimity. The latter constituent is a key to a characteristic of Kays but little known — she possesses a surprising amount of common sense. It crops out most unexpectedly in everything from a pow-wow about a party to a philosophical discussion. In like manner do her interesting little side-remarks on people and things appear For Kay, though calm, is far from lifeless. Her steady support of all our social events is in keeping with the true social spirit of S. J. C, and she is a welcome guest a t any part y. Whenever the girls are :;;ilhered together in the ■ i iictum for a chat, there is no one more interested than K a y I n her spare moments from many hours of class and study, no one responds more quickly than she to a suggestion for lunch- eon, theatre, or tea. Truly, a pleasant spirited lady with little of the melancholy element i n her is Catherine Hannon. Good humor is h cult h of soul. ' ihe the Page fifty E L S A K. HARPER Though a true daughter of Helen for fieauty. Elsa would never have stirred up the strife that the fair Greek caused. On the contrary, being one of those girls who love to wa nder in the paths of peace and pour oil on troubled waters, she would have assured Paris that she really did love Menelaus, and that he had better eat the Apple of Discord himself, thus settling the question of award among the three goddesses. But Elsa has ambitions. .She passionately desires to be useful and intellectual as well as ornamental, and thus, during our four years of association with her we have watched her climb assiduously through the various higher branches of the tree of knowledge And her not-too-arduous labor has been amply rewarded, for she rests for the nonce on one of the intermediate twigs marked, Rest here; next branch, 1 I A M. A. ' W ' as this the face that launched a thousand ships And fired the top- less toners of J lion r Elsa just loved to ex- ])eriment. She studied all the modern languages in order, as she said very reasonably, to find out which one I like. And, now, gentle reader, o u r Elsa talks French like a native of Paris — Kentucky. Seriously though. Elsa really has consumed and digested a great deal of variegated knowledge which she will find useful. Page fifty-one A G N K S M II 1 l{ N S ' Funny how good I feel ! ' This statement was not uttered after Retreat as one might, at first glance, suppose. Rather, Agnes is known to have made loud mention of this physical disposition between a recent illness and a slightly more recent week-end trip to a Post on the west bank of the Hudson. When anyone asks, ' Who is that girl with the vivacious face and liright dancing eyes? we know immediately that our V. A. vice-president is meant. Her eyes truly do dance and her sweet smile is ever present. Her name might well be Agnes Merry Hearns, for to the present Agnes ' s motto has been, The most utterly lost of all days is that in which we have not once laughed. On any Monday morning after an exciting week-end, a casual passerby hearing a series of delightful shrieks issuing from the Sanctum ought to know that Agnes and the W recking Crew are comparing notes. No, our Agnes did not spend all her collegiate career rushing to dances, and. on Committee, to the Park Lane. The greater part of her time was taken up in the process known poetically as drinking from the Pie- rian Spring. In fact, Agnes approached her studies with almost as much enthusiasm as she did her dances, and she did equally well in both. Eyes with the same blue witchery as those of Psyche. ' ' Page fifty-two RUTH I. L A I N ' Oh. wait ' U I tell voii. The funniest tiling happened yesterday. How often has the lunchroom echoed to these words of Ruth ' s and then re-echoed with peals of laughter at the funniest thing? This seems to be one of the outstanding character- istics of Ruth, to laugh and make laugh, both with second-hand anecdotes and her own, self-admittedly subtle witticisms, which of course, are as subtle as the shine on a baby ' s face. But this is not all. Often with all the glibness of an orator, a Ruthian tirade is launched against the injustice of the world in general and that of some prof in particular, whose wrath has descended upon her in the form of a lowly C. Then indeed do the patrons of our dining-hall realize that Ruth was born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was wrong. For the serious side of Ruth we mav look to the missionary unit, where she holds sway as President of Stella Maris Circle. Here her platform personality is keenly felt, and no small credit is due her for the success of the 1924 Mission Day. Indeed, we are assured of the success of this year ' s same event, with Ruth ai the helm. As class Vice-President during the last two years. Ruth ' s popularity and ability have been recog- nized, for it is not only to her intimate friend? that she justifies her quotation. ' ' A comrade blithe and lull of glee. Who dares to laugh out loud and free And let her fancy frolic play Page fifty-three i i; c i; I T i LYNCH An eighteenth centurv beau would have been delighted with Margaret ' s fragility — and more than one twentielli century l eau is charmed witli lier intelligence. Margaret is an enigma. Even those who have been most closely associated with her are surprised to discover how little they really understand. She has so many personalities, each entirely different from all the others. No one can be more en- ergetic than Margaret when she sees an opportunity to be of assistance at our parties. Yet no one is more languorous than she on occasions. Margaret has enough of the gift of laughter to make her a very good fellow at every party, tea. dance or theatre party. She has also had enough sorrow to give her a truly understanding sympathy with anyone in distress. In scholastic affairs, Margaret has interested herself chiefly in literature. especially in the French, although her work in English is more widely known. Margaret is the girl who greets a class- mate ' s frantic Did you write that English paper? a half hour be- fore class with a comfort- ing smile and the calm response: No, we ' ll do it now. Nor are we surprised to hear the ■■prof comment: A very good piece of writ- ing — it shows originality and a good deal of care- ful thought. Build on and make thy castles high and fair. Rising and reaching upward to the skies. Page fifty-four ELLEN L. MANNING Ask Ellen is the answer to any question put to a puzzled member of ' 25, be that question on any sulijett from how to make the percolator ' perk to those ninth-part-of-a-hair distinctions in philosophy. She has a quiet efficiency which has made her an excellent chairman for ' 25 ' s parties, an office the responsibilities of which she has cheerfully assumed many, many times. Very quiet, and shy to the extent that even a class recitation holds terrors, Ellen has yet found courage enough, when she saw an opportunity to be of service to her class or school, to address the entire student body in General Assembly. Truly, greater love hath no man. It was also, perhaps her devotion to the ideal of service that has made her so concerned with mission work, a field in which she has worked hard for four years. The Class showed their appreciation of her zeal by electing her Senior Chairman for 1925 Mission Day ' In her scholastic acti- vities, Ellen has chosen to devote herself chiefly wise Though deep. yet clear. 1 h o I ' h gentle y e t n 1 dull.

M c C A F F K F Y r 4 Rita is an athlete with a sense of fairness unsuipassable. Her phiying in the vari- ous fields of sport has afforded her ample opportunity to show the possession of this virtue, in its fullness. This and her great ahility. accompanied by a modest opinion of self, has won for her the love and esteem of her companions. Rita captained the ' Varsity during the most successful season of its career. For her this task was a pleasure, but honor in a more prosaic form was bestowed i w her in election, for two consecutive years, to the office of class treasurer. It is in this capacitv that she uses her humor to the greatest advantage. Her classmates have no apprehension at her coming, even though her purpose is to relieve them of part of their allowance. There are other instances which display her keen sense of humor, class entertainments for one. Who, that has seen it, will ever forget her burlesque of those immortal lovers, Romeo and Juliet? _ _ For her good sports- H l aH 1 _J|b manship, quiet helpful- H I f ' j3mP ness, and fun-loving na- H ' l ' ' IMmBE ture, Rita will always be H T I jlB a most welcome member M ' ' ■ ' reunions of ' 25. -j;,- , , , r . well - i • — — -ggMg , carried, w ill be chronicled. Page fifty-six MURIEL M. McCarthy A flash of a pair of sparkling eyes, a fluttering of dimples, and a vision of shining red lips parting to show perfect teeth. Now you have met Miss McCarthy. How demure she looks. But do you remember black, ugly, deep-voiced Caliban in The Tempest? That was our Muriel of the sweet voice and dancing eyes. This young lady is a character actress who has shown remarkable ability in all of the college plays. The Glee Club is honored in her with a charming president. Muriel ' s lovely soprano voice, as well as her executive ability and enthusiastic interest in the Glee Club, hav e won for her this enviable position. In her capacity as President, Muriel has often been called upon to act as hostess at various social affairs, a role which she fills with an ease and grace which are among her greatest claims to the affec- tion and admiration of every member of ' 25. There was a soft and pensive grace. A casl of thought upon her face. That suited well the forehead high. The eye-lash dark, and d o w n cast eye. Page fifty-seven ANNA M. I) () A I. I) We do not know just what Anna ' s pet ambition is, but we do know that what- ever it is she will attain it. Anna is one of those girls who never fuss, never create any stir, and yet manage to perform a prodigious amount of work without seeming to spend anv great amount of energy. As Managing Editor of Loria she has kept things running smoothly, with none of the hubbub usual to the proverbial busy editor. Likewise, as a member of the Attendance Committee, she has fulfilled her duties with the same quiet, cheerful efficiency. In both capacities she has won the admiration of the entire college. Although Anna has majored in English, it is hardly possible that she will be a schoolmarm ' for long. She has too much executive ability to spend much time teaching that the verb to be ' never takes an object. It is much more probable that we shall find her in the ,, , ; ; . r J- . . r i. Her race, the book not tar distant future en- wo, sconced in the editor ' s praises, where chair of some new and is read extremely successful Nothing but curious ' g« ' e- pleasures, as from thence Sorrow were ever daz ' d. and testy wrath Could never be her mild companion Page fifty-eight MARY C. M c G I N N I S Marv is one of those who by their enthusiastic activity have put ' 25 on the map. In dramatics we have applauded her in such roles as Op o iVIe Thumb as well as in those of lovely Shakespearean heroines. In Loria we also find Mary ' s work well represented, for as one of the editors she has done much to make it a true exponent of excellent writing. Her untiring efforts as Literary Editor of 1925 Footprints have been essential to its success. But who can forget Mary as class chairman for 1924 Mission Day and as advertising manager of both our Proms? Her stirring talks helped create widespread enthusiasm for these occasions. When Mary studies we do not know, for in her free periods at college she does everything but study. The same may lie said of most of her nights, because in Mary ' s decalogue there is but one unpardonable sin — to miss a social event. Yet. she is well informed and this together with her attractive manner makes her a delightful conversation- alist. Intimacy reveals the pal always inter- ested in everything and willing to try anything, the gracious hostess, and the ever sympathetic friend. Mary ' s outstanding trait is her vivacity, which finds expression in her own high college spirit and desire to inspire en- thusiasm and loyalty in others.

I The passing of Emerson did not cause a dearth of adorers in the teni|)le of Beauty. We have a few of his kindred spirits among us, one of whom is ( ' ecilia McLoughlin. She is great of heart and mind, and she appreciates tiie heautifid in everything. Cecilia has a keen intellect that keeps her ahead in her studies, and the success of the affairs given under the auspices of the Undergraduate Association has been due in no small degree to the indefatigable energy of this, its president. Besides this, our Celia has displayed great dramatic talent in the various plays produced during her college career. Who could forget her portrayal of Ariel in The Tempest, of Pierrot in The Maker of Dreams, of Peter in The Neighbors. and — crowning achievement — of the delightful Rosalind in As you Like It? A possessor of wonderful ideals, is our Celia. If you doubt our statement listen to her sometime when she is holding forth about that brave soul, Cyrano de Bergerac. But there! We fear that the gentle reader will say, Surely such a girl is not of this earth! Indeed she is! She is not by any means free from those small human defects for which rather than despite which we love our friends. Celia does ii t) t make friends easily or lightly, but when she does vow a friendship she will per- form it to the last ar- ticle. Tell them, sweet, if eyes w ere made for seeing Then beauty is its own excuse for being. Page sixty ROSALIND M. M L E S P H I N I ■ ' Miss Molesfene! Molesphini, please, says Rosalind wearily for the forty- thousandth time, and wonders why people are so stupid ahout so simple a matter. While people may have some difficulty ahout remembering her name, they never experience anv in remembering this girl of the soft voice and luminous glance. She is one of those charming people who leave an impression as lasting as it is delightful. At all our parties Rosalind (ills a place peculiarly her own. She is always just where she is most needed, always readv with assistance and with those little touches of finesse and original itv which give the parties with which she is connected a dis- tinctlv individual and attractive air. In the main, however, Lindo prefers to use her diversified talents in friendships cause. A friend could tell of a supremely sympathetic Rosalind who forgets every personal care in devoting an ingenious mind to the solution of a hundred minor tra- gedies ' of her dependent friends. Because she is individ- ual, Rosalind is an un- failing delight to those within her c harmed circle, The passing crowd sees only her nature ' s sweetness and not -ts in- tensity, but the world in growing used to the fact that the inaccessible things are often the most cherished. from the East to Western Ind None so fair as Rosalind.

But that is in the future, and here we are concerned rather with the past. Grace has been a popular figure in all our college social activities. No Hallowe ' en Dance.

Grace is just bubbling over with enthusiasm about everything social from a class party to a West Point Hop. But please do not think that the O ' Brien Girl is only a social butterfly. Not so! She is also an earnest and thorough student, and even a Senior Prom could not make her flunk in Ethics on the morning after. In addition to playing side-center on ' 25 ' s basket-ball team, she has held many positions on various committees during her career, not the least of which was an editorship of our ' 25 Footprints. She has given much of her time and thought to this last responsible office and her manifest success in the work was well-earned. It is almost surprising to find that this sprightly elf-like creature has an unexpected talent for be- ing in the right place at the right time, just when her help is needed. rC_ There was a star danced, and un- der that I IV a s born. Page sixty-two EMILY F. ' M A R A A girl of extremely charming personality is our President — Emily O ' Mara. Her sympathetic understanding makes her the refuge of all those who are in trouhle. whether it be the class as a whole or as indiyiduals. She is quick to see both sides of a question and to make others see the other fellow ' s side. In college dramatics. Emily has been one of our leading actors. We say actors advisedly, for Emily has been doomed to play man-parts all through her college career, as witness her triumphs as Antonio in The Tempest, as Peter Steele in The Dust of the Road. and as the love-lorn Orlando in As You Like It. But it was not only as a villain or a lover that she has displayed her talents. Full often has she kept the whole class in gales of laughter with her wonderful gift of mimicry. A member of our faculty has been heard to remark that the Pope himself would not be safe from Emily. Her eager desire to be of service has had ade- quate outlet in her Mis- sion activities, which have ranged from selling candy to conducting blind girls to the St. Regis cenacle. Whenever w e were in a last extremity with something that ab- solutely must be done, we went to Emily, certain that the deed was prac- tically accomplished even though she herself was probably up to her eyes.

And she understands that even rarer art of saying nothing at the right time. However her opinions on people and things are always worth hearing and she can support them with logical arguments. Agnes has been a memlier of the Honor System (ionnnittee all during her college career, and was Secretary of the Committee during her last year. Her duties in this capacity were performed conscientiouslv and well, and her efforts in support of the System have contributed in a large measure to its success. But let us not give the impression that Agnes ever went through her college course Sphinx-like and emitting at intervals oracular comments. Not at all! She has been a regular person, most useful when a party was in the making. ' When some seventy peo]) are waiting for sandwiclic; man cutting machine, and Agnes is usually IT.

Bea has been given more than her share of a woman ' s crowning glory. Its rippling loveliness has added beauty to many of our Commencement plavs. But Bea is not on the stage merely in the role of a pretty prop: she has real acting abilitv. Who will ever forget when, in the rule of the inimitable Miss Abel, she kept her audience in gales of laughter? Overcoming her usual reticence, she has discovered the secret of perfectly natural activity and of getting her lines over to a terrifvingly large audience, with a simplicity and ease which would do credit to a more experienced actress. This dramatic ability, how- ever, has not prevented her from carrying a program consisting of everything from science to Greek, leaving enough mental energy for the successful pursuit of her beloved literature courses, as well as editorial work for Loria. Her imaginative and ob- servational powers, her sympathy, and her love for the wide open spaces, have given her material, although it is now in a somewhat im- perfect stale, for future famous short stories. Let me tell you a secret — Her sole ambition is to be a short story writer. Stands a maiden on I he morrow Musing by I h e wave-beat strand.

I! o c II i; Thank Gorl for Year Bonks! says Margaret, for it ' s the only time and place in which I can appear formally as Margaret Mary Roche. Yes, gentle reader, it is the only time and place, because usually she is affectionately known as just the Roche. And it is an evidence of her entire good nature that she makes no objec- tion. Not that Margaret allows herself to be stepped on by all and sundry. On the contrary! But among her friends she is always happy, and she has a certain dry humor which is a constant source of delight. One phase if Margaret ' s philosophy is the despair of profs and friends alike. It is a misquotation of an old jjroverb. to wit: Never do today what can be done just as well tomorrow. ' But this one fault may easily be overlooked since it sel- dom brings her to disaster, and is hardly noticeable among so many good qualities. The Roche knows all about practical housewifely affairs.

ROLAND It is hy no mean? an idle dream that makes us hope to hear Agnes named among the authors of the not too far distant future. For, apart from her literary ability — of which her work as official book reviewer of Loria has given worthy proof — she has a breadth of vision and a human understanding which give her a touch of true power. Sincere and frank in her views, she has individual ideas and opinions which are well worth seeking out. But Agnes would not be true to her Celtic nature had she no warmer lights in her make-up. She is essentiallv affectionate, has a keen appreciation of the beautiful, and is bountifullv endowed with the saving grace. Did we say that somewhere, tucked awav among her softer qualities, is a little hint of stubborness? Once in a while it creeps out unbidden and then Agnes rails against all the first-born of Egypt; happily however, it is used more often to a good purpose, when her sense of justice or of the fitness of things has been outraged. It is by no means dis- paraging to say that Ag- nes is not a girl who m a k e s friends every- where A far greater tribute to her sterling; character is the fact that upon those whom she selects, she bestows the zift of her friendship with a depth and intimacy which must outlast the short span of college days.

Oh! we forgot this is a Year Book and one must be serious at least for a little while, when one is graduating: from College. We miss Genevieve ' s smile so much because it is such an integral part of our mental picture of 25 ' s class comedienne. Who will ever forget Genevieve in Wild Nell, The Pet of the Plains? She has a keen ap- preciation for the humorous side of every situation, and she could keep the class convulsed with laughter till they cried for mercy, ffl But one does not go through College just entertaining and being amused. There is serious work to be done, and Genevieve usually did her share She has very decided opinions on most topics and has never hesitated to voice and defend them when occasion demanded Genevieve has always had at least the courage of her con ictions. Did we say that Gene- vieve is an artist? Oh! yes! It was but fitting that ' 25 should crown her four years of generous work on successive year books with the office of A r t Editor of 19 2 5 Footprints. But above all things Genevieve i s graceful Iv tactful, and we are glad to voice our gratitude for the many times that her apt remarks smoothed over what threatened to be a small fracas. One hour of joy dispels the cares and sufferings of a thousand years. ' ' Page sixty-eight ETHEL B.

' However, the prof ' s penetra- tion did not go far enough. It is Music rather than Poetry that is Ethel ' s twin sister. Ethel ' s violin selections have been an eagerly greeted part of practically every entertainment at St. Joseph ' s. How proud ' 25 is to claim this girl of the lovely presences and the melodious bow. The kindness and discrimination shown in her inviting various artists who furnish us with so many delightful afternoons has intensified our pride in her. It will be difficult to fill Ethel ' s dual role of gifted violinist and capable president in the iolin and Mandolin Club. An all round good athlete, Ethel has given us the benefit of her as manager of Varsity basketball team. As such she has a large thusiastic supporters.

SIMPSON So complete has been ' 25 ' s confidence in Muriel ' s ingenuity and good taste that they have come to feel that if she is chairman, the success of any dance is as certain as the arrival of Judgment Day. She has fixed their trust by her admirable business management of FOOTPRINTS. But do not think that Muriel spent all her time and brainpower in the realms of finance. Absil se! Some of both had to be used in the consumption and assimila- tion of philosophy, history, etc. And she used them to good advantage. Without being a book-worm. Muriel always managed to get by with a little time left for the aforementioned frolics And the funniest coincidences were always happening to Muriel! Every time she arrived, she had a curious tale to tell that sent her friends into gales of laughter. Who has not heard how contemptuous of money she is, as shown by the classic incident of the .$20 bill? No, gentle reader, w e aren ' t going to tell the story. It ' s too long and besides it ' s a class secret. But the best part of all is that Muriel has a keen appreciation of jokes, — even at her own expense. Her tales were always told with a merry twinkle in her eyes and a smile upon her lips. Ever a friend whose thoughts were truly labor To recompense Your love. Page seventy SALLY A. TODD We have been inforiiied by one of Sally ' s very dearest friends tha t the last line of the verse below is not applicable. In tact, she worries about everything. . 11 we can sav is that if she does she conceals it passing well, and presents to the world at large a decidedly cheerful front. The only solution we can offer is that, in her moments of depression, she must run away to hide until her smile returns. Sally is most active in sports. She played on the ' Varsity Basketball Team in her Freshman and Junior Years and on the Class Team in her Junior and Senior Years. As a forward she was the terror of the under classes in the recent inter-class games. And Sally does love to dance. Has anyone ever missed her at any College Dance? e do not think so. Though Sally has been successful in her college career, her mind is not entirely taken up with Ethics, Philosophy. French. History, el al. She is rather more inter- the able have ease and I have health And I have spirits light as air; And more than wis- dom, more than wealth — A merry heart that laughs at care. ested m tlie problem o being a hostess. We should not say problem exactly, for Sally is to the manner born — re- filled and charmingly hospitable, with a firm foundation in a thorough knowledge of the gentle art of taking care of the inner man.

I the English language which expresses Mildred ' s personality. She is quick in arriving at conclusions, quick to express them, and quick to defend them from any possible attack. Her speech always conies in short, snappy sentences given added clearness bv the use of little birdlike gestures peculiar to her. In her studies Mildred is one of our stars. Many of us do not realize how fluent is her diction and how- wide her range of vocabulary in both Spanish and French. But this is not strange for neither did we know until recently that she is a poet. The recognition of this gift, though belated because of her own modesty, has been of a high order — a place in Footprints. The artistic sphere of Mildred ' s ability, however, could not be obscured, because it has been manifested in numberless posters that have bedecked our College walls. We all shared her joy when she was awarded the prize for the best Senior Prom poster. Do not think that Mil- dred has kept her activi- ties entirelv up on a ped- estal. She has been a permanent and useful member of every Food Committee in the history of 25. a position not un- important i n bringing about the success of col- leaiale afifairs. ' Therefore be merry coz; since sudden sorrow Serves to say thus, ' Some good thing comes tomor- row ' . Page seventy-two iUi mortra of ' 25 Memories, like moonlight, are the reflection of brighter rays from objects no longer seen. Of necessity illusive and unreal, they are nevertheless the most enduring heri- tage of college days. With the sheepskin in our hands. — the distant goal of four years ago, — we have only memories to deaden the dull regret of separation from things we have loved. They bring back to us not only the events of these years, but also the underlying current of buoyancy, enthusiasm and unfailing optimism, of which these were but the outward manifestation. In a word, they bring back the .spirit that made college life possible. It is not strange then, that, if asked the most cherished thing we had garnered from our days in St. Joseph ' s, ' 25 would answer — Memories, those deep memories which seem The very fountain of the stream, The early unforgotten things To which the spirit ever clings And feels throughout all change to be The seal of her identit}-. First of all memories, in time and in degree of affection, will ever be our contact with ' 23. Which of us will ever forget the first day, the day on which we met them? Twenty bewildered Freshmen — the few attempted groups eyeing one another furtively, the lone stragglers trying to look at ease ; the first collegiate enthusiasm slightly marred by the intricacies of unfamiliar yellow slips and hitherto vmdreamed of con- flicts and a dash of exquisite misery added by the sight of the jolly comaraderie ex- isting among the old timers all around us. Through our tears, however, we regis- tered a somewhat dogged determination to make ourselves to home. How this was to be done was rather vague but the question was soon settled. At the ringing of the noon bell, there was an inrush of Juniors, and we were escorted post haste to the subterranean regions. Through the artistry of ' 23 these had been transformed into a cheery setting for the Welcome Luncheon. The personal recollection of that noon hour is quite drowned in the memory of chaotic babble, new faces, introductory greet- ings, sparkling anecdotes that drifted across the old laundry, kind pointers on col- lege ways and college days, tales of Proms, parties, profs, points and teas. But at the bottom of the jolly din, we discovered girls who we knew would be helpful ad- visers and counselors just as they were sports — we discovered our ideal class. Their president, in a few sincere and spirited words, voiced ' 23 ' s welcome to their little sis- ters, and at the conclusion of the hmcheon we felt that we were at last real college girls. — that we belonged to St. Joseph ' s. If anything were needed to assure us of this, and inore particularly to assure us that we were FRESHMEN, the events of the next six weeks would have done so. With a grim intensity of purpose and a fiendishly perfect power of execution, ' 24 set about the laudable task of inculcating those collegiate niceties, that deferential res- pect, that shoud typify the genus Freshmen — and then some more. To aid in this, all the resources of our building, with special emphasis on the attic, were called into service, to say nothing of the original talent that was commandeered for the noon- I ' age seventy-three (lav recitals in the drawing room. The stern of Teresa Uolan as she ordered us to grab the dead man ' s eye or feel the corpse ' s Kind even now evokes a shudder. The installation of our Right Rev- erend President as Bishop of Brook- lyn was an event we were all proud to attend. In fact, we have always pitied a little the later classes, who were not so fortunate as to be S. J. C.-ers at that V momentous time. The ' reception to Bishop Molloy on October third, at which we were individually pres e n te d to him. was the first of a series of annual Bishop ' s days at which he has honored us by a visit With the aroma of the homely onion of hazing days still clinging to us, we arrived in goodly numbers at the Hallowe ' en Dance, anxious for our first glimpse of a St. Joseph ' s production. (. ' lose upon this successful social function came a less elaborate but truly auspicious occasion in our class history. It was ' 25 ' s party to ' 23, at which was presented for the first time what will no doubt be our finest contribution to world literature — our pantomimic extravaganza, Wild Nell, the Pet of the Plains, or Her Finale Sacrifice. Accorded an enthusiastic reception at the first, it has achieved a popularity undimmed by even such later hits as the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, the burlesque of II Purgatorio, the speechless speeches, the ventriloquist act, the ' illage Chestnut Tree or the bedroom scene from Othello. It is our boast that since its introduction by Genevieve Sheridan, every member of ' 25 has mastered every part. About the end of October we became conscious of a peculiar tendency on the part of the distributors of knowledge to present us with lists of questions in their respec- tive intellectual fields. The answers to these were to be written by us in dainty little blue books. This strange habit of the dispensers of our flunks and points annoyed us considerably for a while. With the pas.sage of time, however, without letting it interfere in any way with our real college career, we developed a certain canniness in regard to it and eventually even a cheery nonchalance in the very face of indulging it. Verily time heals all wounds! We wonder whether even the old man with the scythe can ever quell the laughter still lurking in the corridors from the daily between-period presentations of the R. Thompson-M. Sheridan troupe. But we were not limited to the more profane type of work for on one occasion, a member of ' 25 joined with one of this troupe in some- thing of a religious revival known as the Simpson Memorial Church parade. We re- gret to say, however, that this truly admirable venture was curtailed by a clap- clap from the office window and the cry of Chorus from the Drawing Room. The chorus of II Purgatorio — its rehearsals mingled with the St. Patrick ' s Day Musicale, the thrill of our first Class Day, and our athletic endeavors for the meet. These were careless, unstudied joys, connected in our mind with Freshman year, just as firmly as I want free life and I want free air and Mr. O ' Connor ' s classes. Mean- while, we tried hard to help make ' 22 ' s Commencement Play a success, for under our awe of ' 22, we really liked this scholarly and serious Senior Class. Our expres- sion of this feeling by the party at which we entertained them could not show how sorry we were to lose them. We hid a few tears on their Commencement Xight and sought ' 23 to bid her a ten- der au revoir, comforted in the thought that we should have her comradeship for an- other year and enjoy the fru- ition of our early admiration. Friendship is no plant of hasty growth Tho ' planted in esteem ' s deep fixed soul, The gradual culture of kind intercourse. Must bring it to perfection. Page seventy-four Page seventy-five t ' burst into Soijlinincn. ' W-nr with niiiif of the timidity that char- actL-rized our arri -al Freshman ' far. Programs and cunHicts were _ dispak ' hed with the facility of long practice. These details being settled, we turned to the more serious business of ap- P praiying the Freshmen. Numbers — great. (Juality-um-um. ■ — -■ - c detected something like an intellectual disdain of the time honored notions relative to the social s-atus of Freshmen. Lest any such falacious theory . ' •hould pervert the Young Idea, ' 25, with that big- hearted spirit so peculiarly typical of Sophomore ( lasses, took the swarming hordes in hand. May we ;av that we found them true-blue foes and cpiite -. ' .rthy of the hours we spent trying to hatch new L icks and new tortures to try on them? Coincident with these strenuous endeavors came Bishop ' s Day, and the first annual U. A. reception ic; incoming Freshmen, on both of which occasions v. ' .j temporarily suspended hostilities with ' 2(5. The following months disclosed several parties, ' 23 to 25, ' 25 to ' 26, both overflowing with the usual merriment. We were represented at the Christmas Entertainment, and a goodly number of us appeared at the Senior Prom of our Sister Class. Our attend- ance was in thorough agreement with a sentiment we have ever cultivated: Make use of time, let not advantage slip; Beauty within itself should not be wasted: Fair flowers that are not gather ' d in their prime Rot and consume themselves in little time. The presence of William as general factotum at the Prom was of course an added attraction to this delightful evening,— William, our knight charmer, inseparably linked with famous words of consolation. We pass over that week in January, which comes with such morbid regularity every year, as being of too painful a nature for the chronicler to relate. Suffice to say that we emerged from its gloom with sufficient animation to eater whole-heartedly into the festivities of ' 24 ' s Junior Week. Alas for Cupid ' s golden arrows that ivmitd disturb the equilibrium of the favors so carefully prepared for our party to the Juniors. Classes, parties, chatter, class games, Mark Strand, confabs in the old third floor left, troubles with the faculty, teas and musicales made up the uneven tenor of our day ' s. The routine was broken by the inevitable succession of Class Days in May. On iMay 17th. posters all over the building, the white gowns with their touches of green, the table with its attractive green and whjte favors, the May-pole raised aloft from our stump (O tciiipora O morrs} that ever destroyed that stump) told our world that this was ' 25 ' s Class Day. The Meet, preparations for Midsummer ' s Night ' s Dream, a crowding in of parties, exams, and the balmv davs, all reminded us of June and we thought with Om ar - The Bird of Time ha ' s but a little way to flutter— and the Bird is on the wing. It was our last opportunitv to give honor to ' 23 and e.xpress in some way the high place they held in our hearts ' Our debt to them was intensified by our being permitted to serve at the tea following their Class Day Exercises. Conse- quentlv, it was with more than the ordinary enthusiasm that we prepared for our theatre party in their honor— to see Devv Drop Inn. Commencement Night the poignancy of parting came home to us. We wished the joy of receiving the degree could come to those we loved without bringing that little choke of loneliness to us. The turning of the tassels told us that ' 23 was gone and that we had reached a goal — the glory of upper class- manship. So with one back- ward glance to yesterday and one forward to tomorrow we said goodbve for the summer. tf Page seventy-six Page seventv-seven Ah, memories of sweet summer eves Of moonlit wave and willowy way Of stars and flowers and dewy leaves. And smiles and tones more dear than they. Having escaped the ravages of a summer, hectic enough to forecast a glorious Junior Year, we arrived back bright and early (you see. it wasn ' t for class), to greet the Freshmen. At the Welcome Luncheon, we assured ' 27 of our support and assist- ance in any of their undertakings. ' Moreover, we tried to convey a little of the joy we felt at having with us at S. J. C. the little sisters, about whom we had so long conjectured. The friendly spirit initiated on this first day was fixed at the party given by ' 25 shortly before Thanksgiving. The comfortable surroundings of the Art Gallery, the soft candle light from the miniature barnyard table, the impromptu en- tertainment of ' 25, and the co-operation of ' 27 did much to add to the value of the occasion as a creator of the proper spirit between the sister classes. In receiving ' 27 into the U. A., ' 25 also took part. In fact, ' 25 has consistently taken an active part in student activities as a whole. Our musicians are appreciated at anv tea. party or celebration; our dramatic talent is ever willing and capable when called upon. The rise of our Varsity to a reputable position in the intercollegi- ate athletic field is in no small measure due to ' 25 ' s individual stars. St. Joseph ' s m.is- sionary and charitable enterprises are always sure of assistance from the generous ' 25-ers. But perhaps it is in the social sphere that we have particularly shone, and for this reason Junior Year offered unique opportunities for our capabilities. But that ' 25 ' s character is by no means one-sided was proved very early in Junior Year, by the growth in industry and virtue that kept pace with our social achieve- ment ; Whether or not this arose from the reading of Dubray (page 3521. has not been conclusively determined, but the fact remains that we were true devotees of virtue. To be more specific, one might say ' 25 almost specialized in one virtue. — the noble virtue of patriotism. This patriotism was expressed in their self-abnegating in- terest in the men from down at Crabtown on the bay. and in the Gentlemen by Act of Congress. That virtue is never popular is indeed ridiculous; this virtue has not onlv spread but grown in intensity throughout Junior and Senior years. Of such strong moral fibre are the girls made ! The culmination of our social activities was of course Junii Week, That the Prom was an affair of such brilliance did not appreciably diminish the joy of the rest of the week — the dinner from ' 23 at the Clarendon, our reception to the College (the very last to be held in the dignified setting of the gold room I made pleasant by the friendly spirit of the faculty and student guests. The party from ' 27 had the added attraction of noveltv, for it was the first to take place in the new building. Which of us shall ever forget our class theatre party — the sparkling animation of all the girls; the presence of the prince of good sports. Miss McEntee, as chaperone; the delicate beautv of the play so in keeping with the spirit Junior Week, our visit back stage to the Page seventy-eight genial Mr. Carillo; our famous walk down Broadway and its incidental blocking of the traf- fic, our advance to Child ' s, our immediate withdrawal, the on- rush to Drake ' s, the ensuin;.; few hours of enchanting remin iscences of the past four days, homeward bound. the mad rush to locate the lights of the West Virginia as we journeyed ovti the bridge, and the sweet in, c a m a r v a t u echoing in o u i dreams? The charm of Mary Hay ani the hospitable courtesy of ' 2ii ever serve to mind us of the Sophomore matinee; and the memory of ' 24 ' s Mah J o n g g fete, pressed into the same day, is an enviable one. If a broad touch of humor were needed to rounrl in t a firiect week, surely the game of forfeits and the whispering wires of Prospect 4696 the evening of the Junior Tea, provided it. Oh, shades of red gardenia and the Park Plaza. While the spell of Junior Week was still upon us. the opening of the Chapel and new building occurred. This indeed marked the coming of a new order. We experi- enced a sensation of discovery almost equal to that of Freshman days. After all. it did make a difference to find that our college drawing room had become a Convent Parlor, and that our familiar presence was slightly d c trap after a certain hour. However, we soon accommodated ourselves to the new trend (even to the new rugs) and proceeded to make the best of things. The respite Lent usually brings was broken by the preparations for our Class Day. which was held immediately after Easter vacation. The singing of the songs to the classes and the receiving of the various expressions of good-fellowship from them, the orgy of green and white, the party with its mirth-provoking favors, all were conducive to a riot of fun. With enthusiastic planning for our Class Booth for Mission Day, (Mav twenty-fourth) the various recitals and teas, the rehearsals for The Tempest, in which ' 2.5 played several of the most important and difficult roles, the season pressed on. JNIay with its spring loveliness warned that partings were imminent. Only then did we realize how much three years of association had attached us to ' 24, our erstwhile enemies. Our preparations for the luncheon we tendered them at the Biltmore during Commencement Week were made with a certain sadness. The sing- ing of the college and class songs and the impromptu entertainment all lent local color to the daintiness of the luncheon. With reluctance we left for the home borough at four forty-five. This parting celebration served to intensify our constant opinion that ' 24 were good friends and good sports as they had been the best of enemies. We relaized that with their Commencement we became Seniors and that onlv one year of S. J. C. remained to us. Hour after hour departs. Recklessly flying. The golden time of our hearts, Is fast a-dying: O. how soon it will have faded; Joy droops, with forehead shaded; And memory starts. Jealous of every moment of our last Collegiate year, we burst into St. Joseph ' s the morning of September twen- tieth, rapturously greeted one another after what seemed an eternity of separation. Page seventy-nine Page eighty compared sunburn and freckles, prepared ourselves for a brilliant and spirited year and settled down tc enjoy the usual Senior Privileges. This was by no means a purely static condition o f dignity, for the success of the U. A. reception and of the Hallowe ' en Dance was due in no small degree to ' 25 ' s efforts. Our social acoomplisments received flattering recognition in an invitation for twelve of our number to act as program girls at the Silver Jubilee Meeting of the International Catholic Truth Society on No- vember eleventh at the Waldorf, and as ushers at the first Federation lecture of the season, on December ninetenth at the St. George. Twenty-five was particularly happy that the realization of one of S. J. C ' s most cherished ambitions should have been fulfilled in our Senior Year — the publication of a regular, quarterly, printed, college magazine. For this reason our representatives on the Loria staflf have been particularly enthusiastic and hardworking. Of the party of ' 23 at the Elk ' s Club on the evening of December twentieth, we have a most jolly memory. The inspiring play and kind expressions of goodwill from the faculty made our last Christmas at St. Joseph ' s a very lovely one. The Christmas vacation itself was most memorable, numbering as it did, the Senior Prom among its attractions — a dance that by its union of elegance and chir was indeed worthily representative of Alma Mater. The charm of the evening of Decem- ber thirtieth will long remain with us — the beauty of the ballrooms, the friendliness of the gathering and the enchantment of the music. And music too — dear music ! that can touch Beyond all else the soul that loves it much — Now heard far off, so far as but to seem Like the faint, exquisite music of a dream. Exams brought us back with a horrible jolt from the delights of the Prom ' s after- math. We really became interested in them for a while, as our intellectual activity of the preceding three years was not of such a nature as to leave us totally unscathed- Some little matters, such as our last chance at English II, developed a pa.ssing ner- vousness that we had thought quite non-existent. We were saved from the danger of succumbing to it however by the invitation to attend ' ' 26 ' s reception and also ■26 ' s Junior Prom. To be guests of honor at a Junior Prom ! That moment we knew what it meant to be Seniors. Needless to say we kept this date rii iiiassi ' . and unanimously voted it a great success. We in turn entertained our Prom hostesses at a jolly little party in the college. The usual lull ensuing after the hectic life of Junior Week was interrupted by the hazing of the February Freshmen. Since this was the last class with whom we were to come into direct contact and since fate decreed our newly adopted sisters of Feb- ruary ' 28 to be the erasers of the high school gradu- ates ' .self-esteem, we were anxious that it should be performed with skill. .Vevertheless by a mighty eft ' ort, we kept the out- ward neutrality decreed by the powers that be. That our moral support was appreciated, however, was evinced by the in- vitation for the Seniors to attend the party after the hazing. This was in- deed an innovation, and w e thoroughly enjoyed Page eighty-one the [)l(.-asant eveniiiR in ooinpaiiv with siu-h staunch sui)!)nrtcrs i)f ■•_ . ) as February 28 and ' 2!), The last live months pressed on. freishted with liter- ary teas, interclass and X ' arsity basketball jjames. miisi- eales, preparations for As Vou Like It.

What secrets our .san ctum could 1ell — of intimate class parties, the visits of an occasional alumna or of an outside guest, of discussions, ar- guments, plans and dreams. Oh little holy of holits vou meant much to us. And Class Day -all the pep of four years seemed to burst forth with glorious momentum on April twentv-second. Our last Class Day! It told us that i ommencement was near and that the goal line which four years ago seemed such an unattainable j)lace, was almost reached. We performed even the every-day things a little sadly, for there was the con- poiousness of things done for the last time. Annoy- ances or troubles seemed to diminish and disappear. We felt onh ' tlu hai i)nicss of tried friendships and of precious memories. Memories! Thev are what make St. Joseph ' s ours. They are at once the cause of our present jov and the pledge of our future loyalty. Despite other experiences and new asso- ciations that ' 25 may meet, we know that the.se old memories, fraught with such rich and tender meaning, will be most beautiful and most lasting. Old memories as new-come phantoms rise And join the shadowy mists in airy dance And follow w-ith them the plains ' expanse Then from my sight, as if by sea winds blown The mists depart, the memories dance alone.

V( ' e were so well versed in the art of interior decorating that its aspects presented no difliculties. Even the I . . china closet, became a valuable asset through our ingenious arrangements. Oh! didn ' t we enjov working for that room — despite the fad that we spattered ourselves with the paint which was supposed to be covering the furniture! Fate must have been with us, Fmily Grace, and I, who had begun our daubing before we learned that this furniture was for the use of the Literary Society, while thinking in good faith, that it belonged to the Senior Class. What a terrible mo- ment! We found, however, that all claims would be waived if we agreed to lend it to the i.iterarv Societv for their ]ila s. A deep sigh of relief — and we painted on diligently. Did I tell vou how lucky we were to be presented wi:h llie comfortable benches that used to line the walls at Harry Freye ' s? We could never have accommo- dated the class without them; our wild dreams of making window seats, I ' m afraid, would have remained dreams. liul not vet being a Senior, and never having had a long lost Sanctum relurncd to you, and not having spent hours of labor trying to fix it up. you can ' t even imagine how great was our appreciation and joy at Father Dillon ' s donation for the Sanctum. It was so heartening to receive his hel]) and to realize that he. a member of the facultv, was interested in our attempt s to make the Sanctum the refuge it had always been to Seniors, and the spurring dream of attainment which it had always meant to underclassmen. On the first Friday in the new semester — just one week from the day that we had become possessors of this haven of bliss — we entertained our first guest, Margaret Lennon of our beloved sister class, and Sister Carmela, our co-helper. And oh, what a thrill it gave us on that same afternoon to draw the last stitch in the cushions which had taken such an eternity to cover ! Isn ' t it queer at times how big things go unnoticed while a small detail will attract all the attention? That was what happened in the Sanctum. Everyone who came in or peeped in ' admired the general appearance of the room, and Bozo sitting astride the arm of the lamp, and then exclaimed. What a lovely bowl on the table! However did vou get it to match the room so perfectly? Because we could not be sophisticated and keep it a secret, we smiled proudly and exj)lained that it had once been a common, ordinary fish-bowl, but having been painted on the inside wtih the same kind of paint used on the furniture, it had become a treasured piece of luster-ware. But if I tell you any more details I shall be disclosins all of our professional secrets, and that would spoil everytbing, as Mildred said the night that she helped us to paint, putting E.

Thus cheerily spoke the Literary Editor, and the poor unfortunate Society Editor sighed wearily. How, she pondered, Is one to produce something new and distinctive, when not possessed of creative genius; how niav one recount such a myriad of events without making them seem like a veritable chronology? Her brows contracted in thought, but suddenly her countenance cleared her friends! Of course they would help her. For what other pur- pose did one have friends? To the first she went in all confidence. Why. of course. Til help t)u; that is easy, was the smiling, encouraging rejoinder. Just m ake it a society page, with the Junior Class the sole contributors thereto — . The Reporter ' s face fell; she had had the same idea herself, but it had not seemed like good material — the voice went on. For instance, you could have for your first article, JUNIOR CLASS ENTERTAINS FRESHMEN AT INFORMAL LUNCHEON The Junior Class tendered a hearty welcome to its younger sisters, the Class of Twenty-eight, on September the eighteenth, at the Saint Joseph ' s Grill. This little unofficial reception, so thoroughly enjoyed by both ' 26 and ' 28, was a distinct aid in breaking down barriers, promoting interclass friendship, and placing the Debutantes entirelv at ease in their new surroundings. There was a very short informal entertainment, provided by the hostesses, after which a dainty luncheon was served. The Grill was gaily decorated in gold and white, the college colors, and the guests danced to music furnished by Miss Mabel Barton. ST.

It was indeed. The End of a Perfect Day. Tuesday, the tenth, the Class tendered a reception to the entire college. A short program, consisting of both humorous and musical numbers, preceded the supper, which was served at about half past five, and at which both guests and hostesses enjoyed a most tempting repast, prepared under the skilful direction of that well-known chef, .Margaret Johnston. In the evening the roles were re- versed when ' 26 were the guests of ' 27 at the delightful musical comedy, Topsy and Eva. Wednesday came, and brought with it the Senior supper, the premiere, formal opening of the Grill. It was a decided social success in the opinion of all, and hostesses and guests alike did ample justice to the appetizing menu. After din- ner, the Seniors entertained with a number of humorous skits which made the audience laugh heartily, and caused them to be most thankful that the premiere occurred during Junior Week. At the appointed hour Eridav the thirteenth dawned. It was a day of great rejoicing, but with it also a slight shadow- of regret, for it was the beginning — a happy beginning, ' tis true — but none the less, the beginning of the end. We would conclude with the Prom, whose tale is told in other columns, the story of Junior Week, and of Jimior Year. The remaining events of the semester will bring their share of importance and happiness, but none, we like to think, will be to ' 26, so significant, or quite so charming as the Prom. G. M. C, ' 26.

Just as she left the Mad Tea Party, thor- out ' hly disgusted with the rudeness of the Hatter and the March Hare, she no- ticed a little door leading from the forest. She thought this very curious, but since she was on an adventurous trip, she opened the door and suddenly found herself in a new countrv. She paused and suddenly rememliered that the place looked vaguelv familiar. Where was she? Oh. now she knew! This was Saint Joseph ' s College. Whv of course, she remembered everything. The next ihing to be done was to look up those old friends of hers. Where were those Fresh- men, that jolly class of ' 27? Ah, there was one of them. now. Alice promptly called her. but thc had jiot been talking long before she discovered that something was the matter. Gone was the rough-and-tumble spirit of her former chum. Alice wondered what the trouble was. but when she saw the supercilious glance the girl bestowed on an- other, memories stirred williin her. That was just the way the Sophs had looked upon 27. Are you still Freshmen? Alice asked. Why. Alice, of course we ' re not. hat made you think wc were? e ' re Sophomores. Don ' t you remember that we . . . ' But the rest was lost in the air. The girls had seen Alice and were crowding about her to find out where she had been all summer long. She told them that she had been trving to convince the Mock Turtle that college was a very good place indeed. He had gone to school at the bottom of the sea. and really he hadn ' t learned very much from the classical master. The girls were talking busily when a group of Freshmen passed by. Instantly, they were seized and made to entertain the Sophs. Hazing continued until the day set to mark its demise. Of course, it was worse than ever that dav, but nevertheless there was a Sophomore-Freshman party that showed the Freshmen that the Sophs really liked them, after all. Of course, the next event all looked forward to was the Hallowe ' en Dance. Everyone was so prettv. so graceful and so friendly, that Alice was sure even ihe stupid old Mock Turtle would think college a wonderful place, could he be present at the dance. All through the semester, the various societies gave charming teas. The U. A., the Literary Society, the Music Clubs, all were represented. Alice never missed an event, for who could tell when the Duchess would again shower pepper over all things? And then, she ' d have to tend that hateful little baby, again. After Christmas had become a thing of the past, everyone seemed on the qui vive. All were waiting in anxious expectancy for the Senior Prom. Surelv th; ' class who did everything so well would offer something unusual on the night of their biggest event. When the night of the Prom came, Alice thought she had never seen anything so beautiful as the ballroom of the Park Lane. When she told Humptv-Dumpty about it afterwards, he was really sorry he couldn ' t have gone. But. of course, he was on the wrong side of the door. Then, soon after came Junior Week. To the Sophs, the crowning event was a theatre partv which they gave the Juniors. Topsy and Eva proved to be a charming means of uniting the two classes. The evident enjoyment of the Juniors amplv repaid the hostess class for all trouble. And then the Prom! The girls talked about it in superlatives. Alice was sorry that she couldn ' t have gone, but the Queen of Hearts had ordered everyone to be beheaded, and consequently there was no one to play croquet with her but Alice herself.

Another pioneer class, like the pioneer class of ' 20. has started to travel the road to success. In truth we are pioneers, for we are the first January class. Being twelve in number may we not be christened The Knights of the Round Table, ' as twelve of the memorable class of ' 20 were christened the Twelve Apostles? St. Joseph ' s College — a goal attained, another chapter of school life begun! We poor Freshies, true children of January, the father of newness, strayed aim- lessly around the college, feeling akin to prisoners in an ancient castle. The many unfamiliar faces, the unknown code of college secrets, the thought that we were mere babies, were all terrific blows to high school sophistication. Yet everywhere the strains of the popular song Linger Awhile vibrated in our ears, and we began to feel at home. Gradually we became accustomed to favorite sayings and learned pet topics of interest to Upper Classmen. We were beginning to be initiated into college life. We learned of teas, recitals, lectures, — then of proms. The 192.5 Junior Reception took place during our first week. Fascinated ' 28 conceived a lasting admiration for ' 25. What fortunate foresight — what a timely sowing of the seeds of future happiness! Next the L pper Freshman hazing brought us together, since we were united against a conmion foe. Good sportsmanship and sincere liking for our companion class were the results of the long to be remembered hazing day. Then the elec- tion of our class president and the organization of the class made us realize that we were essentially a part of the college life. The spring term passed speedily, event following event, including a class day which will be the subject of future reminiscences. Exams we took philosophically, commencement we viewed with great wonderment. Summer intervened and then the new term began. As the autumn leaves fell, a veritable harvest spirit reigned in the college. All was joyful, and Christmas was rapidly approaching. For a Christmas present our Beloved ' 25 adopted us. No longer were we All Alone. No longer freshmen but wise men, how we could look with disdain on any- thing freshmanlike — how we could assume the prerogatives of the elder and more learned! Revenge is sweet, and so was the hazing of the ' 29 Januarv class. We hazed and we taught the freshmen their Eight Beatitudes. Presumption indeed is it for the freshmen to come to college without knowing them. But freshmen are presumptuous beings anyway. What a difference it makes when one plays first fiddle instead of second in an orchestra. Now our view of college changed. We were sophomores, — recognized and even consulted a bit. Lent came, then class days, preparations for the play and Commencement. Yet everything was so different from what it had been during freshmen year. Perhaps the difference was wrought by our superiority. As up life ' s ladder man ascends And looks not back, fearing to falter. He knows not that he ever lends The eternal gods, fresh cause for laughter. E. R.

With such an undivided alliance of purpose we could not long remain strangers. While we were awed by the cordial welcome tendered us the very first day of our collegiate career and captivated by the genial attitude of our sister class, there arose among us a spirit of friend- ship, growing into love. How grateful each timid Freshman felt to the Juniors, who so kindly lessened our awkward sensations on that first day; for what fresh- man does not seem rather unnecessary and insignificant on her first day at college? Two weeks passed before we selected a leader for our already organized mem- bers: and we displayed excellent judgment by electing Clarissa Kern to be our president. We are all equally confident that had our period of friendship been a matter of years rather than weeks, we could not have selected any one more capable to guide us. We further showed keen apperception in the choice of the other class officers: Agnes Kelly, vice-president: Helen O ' Reilly, secretary: and Irene Leahy, treasurer. In one of our first class meetings we committed a Fresh- man lau.x pas by choosing blue and white as our class colors. Upon realizing the significance of our blunder, that we had usurped the colors of a College Society, we changed to the more distinctive combination of crimson and black. The horrors of hazing week passed without a casualty, our numbers proving too powerful for the Sophs. The hazing served as an additional link in forging chains of friendships among us, and we all realized that public calamity is a mighty leveller. It culminated in a perfectly delightful party given by the Sophomores in our honor. Having learned by careful observation how such parties were conducted, we undertook in November to act as hostesses to our sister class. Thanks to the competent committee in charge, our first social event was, by the acclamation of all, a success. A few very charitable members of the class, upon the suggestion of our class adviser, undertook an errand of mercy during the Christmas holidays. These girls went to St. John ' s Hospital, Long Island City, to entertain and amuse the poor children confined there. Besides the abundance of cheer which thev bore with them, they had jjrovided gifts and Christmas stockings filled with toys for each child. On Christmas Eve we held a theater party to see Rose Marie. The date being rather inconvenient, the affair was not so well attended as we should have liked. Our class is proud of its contribution to the athletic interests of the College in the persons of Rhoda Magnor and Kathryn E. Wilson, who displayed their talents on the basketball court during the past season. The athletics have done much to help foster in our hearts true college spirit. We feel that, having completed our Freshman Year, we are now, all of us, stamped with the image of the King and it is our cherished dutv to continue in the fulfilment of our aims. Continuing, we are destined to break all records in the annals of dear St. Joseph ' s and to sky-write our fame on the horizon of her delightful history. E. J. McL. ' 28.

On this great day we were allowed, I we shall let you judge if we were able! to deviate from the great highway of what is done and show vou our own talents, ideas and ingenuity. But we must not forget about this candy box of ours. In this case the candy was caramel. On the card was: Caramels next, luscious bites. Dainty bits and great delights, The taste lasts, they stick and stay As the memory of our great Class Day. Here we have a card without a piece of candy. Nobody took the candy because it never was there.

Working through the concrete media of social and business meetings, it seeks to encourage true culture and to foster those vital sentiments of honor and love for Alma Mater which cannot be gained adequately in the classroom. The Spirit of HONOR is the working inolto of the V. A. Lhider its inspiration, the LTndergraduates pledge themselves to give to S. J. C. the very truest and best that is in them, and to preserve her good name, at all limes, from tarnish, THE SOCIAL YEAR 1921-1925 has been a season little short of brilliant in the annals of the Lender- graduate Association. With the lively co-operation of the many clubs united under its name, receptions, lectures, concerts, etc.. have been so judiciously planned as to provide an unbroken schedule of varied social activities throughout the year The only disappointment we experienced occurred at the beginning of the season when Bishop Molloy ' s sad bereavement prevented his spending October 3rd with us. and necessitated the cancelling of our annual celebration of College Day. The misfortune was felt keenly by all of us, and only the Bishop ' s kind message to us compensated, in some measure, for his absence. The social season, therefore, was not really opened until a few days later when the student body tendered a reception to the Freshman class. Our president struck the keynote of S. J. C. ' s student life, in her address of welcome, by explaining the aim and purpose of the LIndergraduate Association, and by exhorting the newcomers to live up to that college spirit in which our traditions and ideals are embodied. After their official presentation to the officers of the U. A. the Fresh- Page one hundred sixteen Page one hundred seventeen iiKMi were ciiti-i kiiiii-d riKnc inl(iiiiiall li llicir Irllou members and were given iiiliiiuilf t;liMi|i r- jiilii I liili nil- anil lii-lmx. On Oitoher 2ytli the annual Fall Dance, under Agnes Hearns ' expert manage- ment, was al)ie to hoasl the largest allendarice thus far. The Laurel Hooiu of the Hotel Astor was crowded tn capacity, and Ironi e tM oMe there radiated that care- free merriment so in keeping with the spirit ol llalloue ' en. Several weeks later a joint lecture and song recital made our November meet- ing very attractive. Miss Blanche Dillon gave an informal treatment of the sub- ject Woman To-day. The second |)art of the program was rendered by Father Lawrence Bracken whose admirable baritone voice was made all the more en- joyable by his choice of popular favorites with a decided leaning toward Irish Folk Songs. Our Christmas entertainment on December 22nd was held for the first time in the evening. The large and representative audience — composed of the Faculty, Alumnae, guests of the Senior Class, and the entire student body — showed a very gratifying appreciation of the evening ' s program. According to custom the L A. was assisted on this occasion by the Music Clubs, and by the Literary Society whose members presented two one-act plays: The Neighbors and Dust of the Road. In January, the V. A., as college hostess. ever ready to welcome newcomers and to put them at their ease, had occasion to tender a little surprise reception to our new superioress. In keeping with Sister Philomene ' s own modest disposi- tion, the affair was purposely made very simple and informal, the chief aim being to express to her our good wishes, and to have, ourselves, an opportunity of being presented to her. One of the most brilliant affairs of the year was an imposing recital given by The Philharmonic Group on March 4th. The trio of musicians consisting of Carl Schlegel of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Dorsey Whittington and Charles King, executed a program of extraordinary charm. The distinguished baritone sang two groups of songs in his powerful style, sympathetically accom- panied by Charles King. Mr. Wliittington played a group of piano selections ranging from Liszt to Debussy and Grainger, all rendered with musicanly feeling and superb technique. Late in March Father Bracken gave a second recital, this time accompanied by his boy-soloists. The latter sang exceptionally well and proved themselves worthy of appearing with such an artist as Father Bracken. With a delightful Spring Dance at the Hotel Park Lane, and a splendid drama- tic recital of Cyrano de Bergerac at the college in May, the LJndergraduate Association of 1924-192.5 successfully terminated its activities and completed an- other significant chapter in the history of S.

Lent, ' 26 Josephine M. Weiden, ' 27 Anne Schrao;e, ' 28 Ulhr linunr ustnn Life ' s but a word, a shadow, a melting dream Compar ' d to essential and eternal honor. It was the truth of these century-old lines, touching the chords of idealism and practical justice at St. Joseph ' s that resulted in the establishment of the Honor System in March. 1922. With the Commencement of the Class of ' 25 the initial period of our finest and most fundamental college tradition draws to a close. Surely it is an important event — this completion of the first span of its existence — and one fraught with satisfaction, gratitude and aspirations. Our words are inadequate to convey the student body ' s gratitude to Father Dillon, the Faculty Adviser for the first three years. He not only helped us through the perilous difficulties and misunderstandings of its inauguration, but by his justice, kind- liness, patience, unremitting service and wise suggestions, insured effective admin- istration. To our faculty representative, we are also indebted for her whole- Page one hundred nineteen lii ' ai ' led support. She has furlhcr ciuiMi ' d us t(i justify the (•imfKlciicc the Facuky placed in us when they permitted this venture in student government. To Agnes Pattison and Marion Aubert, the worthy representatives of the Class of ' 2.S — the last class of the original four whose efforts brought the Honor Sys- tem into being, the present student body voices its congratulations and apprecia- tion of that action. It is most auspicious that while their class is still an element of undergraduate life, the first step in the extension of the Honor System should have occurred. We hope that this step is indicative of still further progress and that future undergraduate bodies will so live up to the animus that actuated ' 22- ' 25 as to extend the spirit of honor to every phase of college life. That this cannot be accompanied without great effort and possibly some trouble is to be admitted. It follows from the very definition of the word. Honor is Virtue ' s allowed ascent: honor that clasps All perfect justice in her arms; that craves No more respect than that she gives; that does Nothing but what she ' ll suffer. I ' ut is what she gives not worth the suffering? Honor is the hope, as it should be the keynote, of St. Joseph ' s It gives character, value U) our college. Honor makes our sheepskin more than a mere bauble, or a talisman to pecuniary suc- cess. It makes our degree a token of real attainment. By the furtherance of the spirit of Honor, a real and intrinsic value, a richer meaning is attached to even the most inconspicuous collegiate activity. The tiniest of our endeavors is made worth while, for honor is the guarantee of college spirit in its very best sense. Not only will it give St. Joseph ' s high rank in the list of educational institu- tions, not only will it give to our college the distinctive and enviable flavor that everyone of her true daughters should wish her to possess, but it will penetrate to the soul of each student. The vision of the girl who comes to St. Joseph ' s devoid of true appreciation of values will be clarified, the weak girl will be strengthened by the pervading atmosphere of honor, the noble-minded girl will find opportunity and assistance in the development of her highest ideals. In such an environment the base grov ' ling souls that ne ' er know true honor ' s worth, but weigh it out in mercenary scales, will give way to the very finest in woman- hood. Then and then only will St. Joseph ' s have realized her purpose, the development of the true Catholic woman. The old words, I am a Roman Citizen were not only a proud boast, but a protection. So, with the realization of our ideals of honor, I am a St. Joseph ' s graduate will be not only our personal joy, our happy boast, but a guarantee to society, our Nation and our Church. For the Honor as the throbbing impulse of our college, that proud boast will be synonomous with the vigor of intellect, clear- ness of vision, refinement of taste, delicacy of manner, and fineness of sensibility that typify the truly honorable person. Then will St. Joseph ' s have fulfilled her destiny. She will have given something worth while to the world, for an honor- able person is like a ship at sea. That sleeps at anchor on the ocean ' s calm: But when it rages, and the wind blows high. She cuts her way with skill and majesty. M. C. McG., ' 25.

The object ot this trial was to discover the extent to which self-government is possible in St. Joseph ' s College. Naturally there was some doubt as to the efficienc uliirh such a committee would rxliibil. but after two years trial this doubt has been effaced, and the advanicnient towards the higher ideal of self- government is manifest. In its actual working, the committee serves as a board of appeals for those students wishing to offer a legitimate excuse for an excess of the nundjer of absences allowed in each course. The members of the committee, in their role of classmates to the students who appeal cases, can understand those difliculties which arise to cause latenesses and absences. It must be remembered that the Attendance Committee has fulfilled the object for which it was formed. The savuir aire of its presiding officer. Mary McGinnis, has greatly facilitated the workings of the committee. Her leadership, based on keen judgment and intelligent action has insured the earnest co-operation of its members. They have dealt fairly and justly with the student who has been ' over-cut. Regardless of personal predilections and prejudices the committee has recognized each time what penalty or pardon was the just one to impose This statement is authoritative. The faculty has expressed its pleasure at the rulings the committee has made, and has accepted practically all of those rulings, which are in each case entirely subject to its acceptance or rejection. This fact proves that the students are approaching to those ideals which will be the traditions of our college, and the standards which will be held sacred by future daughters of the institution. I.

Long after the storming of Troy or the white crosses in Flanders will have lost their vivid significance, men will continue to ally themselves for a glorious cause whcih will lift the burden from the oppressed. The League of the Sacred Heart is almost as old as the Church, but it owes its present place in the hearts of the Catholics to Blessed Margaret Mary. This saint is renowned for her devotion to the Sacred Heart, and it i through her that Jesus wished the devotion to be revived when He said, Behold the Heart which has so loved men, that It spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming Itself, in order to testify Its love His Heart is always overflowing with love for us. it is always ready to for- give, to overlook our whimsical frailties, and to receive us again regardless of the many rebuffs of which His delicately sensitive Heart is the recipient. To help carry out Christ ' s command, we, the students of S. J. C. have organized a branch of this League. We are conscious of our limitations, yet we are un- afraid because we know that if a group of men banded together could thwart earthly power, we can triumph over evil with the aid of Him who made us. M. J. H., ' 26. Page one hundred twenty-four trlla MtLV ' xs (Etrrlr Last year ' s Mission Dav was one of the most prominent events in the annals of our College. To it we are gratefully indebted for the stinudation of this year ' s genuinely enthusiastic missionary spirit. Holy Mass, celelirated on September twelfth in our new Chapel, opened the program. In addition to this inspiring beginning, there were two impressive and enlightening lectures. Father Murphy. Director of the Propagation of the Faith, aroused much latent zeal by a vigorous talk on Foreign Missions; Father Quinn of St. Peter ' s Church for Negroes appealed to us profoundly on the subject of Home Missions — saying that true Charity beginneth at home, but we must not suffer it to perish there. From everv class, as well as our loyal and zealous Alumn«, we received earn- est and energetic support. It was through this unity of interest, co-operation and good will that our efforts fructified. Contributions from every Class resulted in a very entertaining and delightful social program. For the financial success, we had attractively decorated booths which represented the various mission fields. The Wigwam of the Alumna; was the unique scene of Mystery packages: the Seniors had charge of Sweets in the midst of Chinese decorations: the Juniors held a Cake Sale in their picturesque Negro Log-Cabin: the Sophomores served tea in the College Tea-Room: the Upper Freshmen had miscellaneous articles surrounded with Japanese splendor, while the Lower Freshmen sold fancy novelties from an attractive Oceanican booth. Is it any wonder that our pro- ceeds amounted to .S500? This was forwarded to the Propagation of the Faith for the Bishop Molloy Burse. Such success has made us determined to swell our earnings even more this year, and with the assistance and co-operation promised, we hope to go over the top again. Other little ways of assisting missions have been: passing mite boxes, a beauty parlor and the collection of stamps, tinfoil and ties. The spiritual phase of our enterprise found expression in the many pravers pledged bv Crusaders. At a solemn ceremonial the Freshmen were formally initiated into the Circle, and we renewed our pledge to the Standard of our King and Conmiander. beneath whose protecting arms we fight this Holy War — to fight for thee, to suffer for thee, to conquer for thee, to win the world for thee. Miss Dorothy Willmann, ' 23, Field Secretary. C. S. M. C, and Secretary of the Medical Mission Board for Brooklyn, gave an inspirational Mission talk, emphasizing the fact that seemingly small works done at home are of inestimable value in the conquest of the world for missions. As we look forward to our chief activity. Mission Day of 192.5, which is to be held shortly after Easter, we fell confident of able assistance from our many enthusiasts. With the staunch support for which we are indebted to the Shield and to our College Missionary Movement, our Day is bound to be another victory. Let us remember the three kinds of help which we can contribute to Missions — prayer, personal service and financial assistance. We can see why effective co-operation to fulfill the sublime designs of the Missions, necessitates such a society as the Stella Maris Circle, having for its noble purpose the exten- sion of God ' s kingdom on earth through the zeal of faithful co-workers proclaim- ing. The Sacred Heart for the world! The World for the Sacred Heart. M. C.

It is regrettable that its more mature years should have been passed in comparative quietude when durinc its infancy it had enjoyed so assured a position in the social foreground of College life. The past year has marked its renascence however. It rose re-awakened and socially poised. There is a longing for companionship in the human heart Realizing this, the society provided for social afternoons whereby the College found a new social bond between itself and its well-wishers. Without the gratuitous and indispens able services of the Dramatic Club, so ably directed by Miss Gertrude ' alsh their first literary socials would have been impossible. Cognisant of the appre elation of these all too brief performances, yet not wishins to impose upon the kindness of the Club, it was deemed advisable to vary the form of entertainment We were particularlv fortunate in securing Dr. Kinsman, whose lecture on Three American Story Tellers was altogether charming. His fund of knowledge on the subject he treated was interspersed with an admirable and sparkling native wit. Later in the season a kindly fate made possible Mr. Shuster ' s lecture. It is unfortunate that to so few of the students is permitted the pleasure of attending his regular courses. It was our good fortune to introduce to the student body and its guests a most distinguished contemporary lyricist and prosateur. Mr. Shuster ' s lecture on The greatest American Prose Writer was delivered in that personal sympathetic style so peculiarly his own. With eager expectation we await another literary treat. At each lecture, the President of the Literary Society pours tea for our guests, who sit conversing gaily on the trivialities which follow so naturally at tea time. An air of social grace hovers round the scene, gay sallies fly back and forth twixt hostesses and guests. So it seems that the revival of the Literary Society has been a most helpful factor in raising the social standard by uniting literature with convivial arts. M. M. L., ' 25.

Tlie very name, Little Theatre, is filled willi sijinificance. It at once calls to iiiiiicl an intimate stage and auditorium. wlicic players and audience can be broujihl inlci close accord: a theatre where the rcpcr- liirv system prevails. Liltlc Theatres are established liom love of drama. The workers are all drawn to- trether bv the same impulse, they are artists or potential artists in the craft of acting, of [da writing, of stage decorating or stage management. Above all, the Little Theatre is the field wherein the seeds of experimenta- tion are sown. In fact, experimentation is the Little Theatre ' s raison d ' etre. It is a dramatic laboratory in the true sense of the word. Our college offers particular evidence of [his truth. To attempt to stage plays with girls who have not received sufficient histri- onic training is a momentous task. It is gigantic when it is realized that we must accomplish it in conjunction with the demands of our school work. Following the example of our professional ■ fon r(Ve5, we have employed the one-act play as our medium of expression. The one-act play makes a special appeal to both actors and audience because, being short, it requires less sus- tained characterization than a longer play. Once a year, we depart from this custom. At Commencement, we usually stage a Shakespearian play. In planning the programs, we vary them to stimulate interest. A repertory of short plays gives the players a chance to appear in several parts. In this way, their artistic ability is developed from every angle, and they do not become identified with one type of part. Emulating the sponsors of the Little Theatre movement, we paralleled our selection of plays to the plan advanced by them. As a result, our offerings in- clude plays of widely different dramatic composition. Poetry, grim realism, and humor find each a place in our programs. The mystic play, the romantic play, and the play with or without a purpose can all find space on our boards. Believing that humor is the noblest gift of man, we staged, before the Christ- mas holidays. Zona Gale ' s little play, The Neighbors. The success of this production can be measured when it is realized that lines in the play have be- come bywords to us. Yet behind the good-nature of the hard-worked Mis ' Abel and the ludicrous trials of Peter lay a moral that rendered the play most appro- Agnes J. Connolly.

Its appeal to the imagination was in no small jjart due to the ex- quisite feeling with which the meniliers of the cast inter|)reted their roles. The most casual observer must have had his fancy enkindled liy this unusual and un- conventional idea of the deicide. Again, we attacked the problem of artistic interpretations from a new angle. This time we portrayed as Heywood Broun calls it, a slice of life. In ' Op-o- me-Thumb. we have the picture of a human being ' s endless quest of romance, and what she ferventiv believed will follow, happiness. Despite the glowing dreams of the poor little laundry worker, the play ' s abrupt termination justifies its claim to rank as one of the dramas whose forte is realism. However far poor little ' Op-o-me-Thumb ' s thoughts were from the work-a-day London world, the audience could not deny that the plot has its tragic counterpart in everyday af- fairs On such a basis, therefore, it was a part of our program of training io ])r()duce a play of this type. The dramatic year closed with the presentation of As du Like It. With the staging of this comedy, the goal which our ambition determined for us was reached. The members of the cast interpreted their roles with a finesse of detail that was the outgrowth of their time and energy to insure a production of the highest standards. Time and tide wait for no man. And the time has arrived when some of the girls who have figured most prominently in dramatics, must stand aside. The college davs of the Class of Twenty-five are over, the memory of them to be re- vived only by the pages of this book. To these girls we give our pledge to carry on ' their work. The foundation they labored so earnestly to lay we will raise to unassailable heights. The spirit they inculcated cannot but influence those who follow. Their endeavors shall be rewarded when they see the Dramatic Workshop of St. Joseph ' s College the best in the city. Our work in dramatics has been inspired by the acting-ideal of the Little Theatre — that is, to produce every play with a fine ensemble that shall worthily express the idea the author wishes to convey. From the staging of Th Temp- est in June of last year to As You Like It, we believe we have advanced per- ceptibly toward the realization of this ideal. L. C McC, ' 27.

' ITpon his principle the members of the Class of 21 determined to realize their long cher- ished hope of establishing a college magazine. When we consider the small registration, the insufficient funds and the innumerable other diflicidties which they had to face, we cannot but marvel at their courage in attempting such a great task. Under the leadership of Miss Eva Flinn, they labored earnestly to produce a magazine which would rank high among the mighty army of college publications. Their unquenchable spirit and strong determination have spurred us on to continue the work they so resolutely began. Thev showed that Saint Joseph ' s could have a magazine in harmony with the high standards that the College has always maintained. It has remained our task to make such a maga- zine a permanent college institution. In pursuance of this work we have fortunately received znost helpful assist- ance. To our President, the Right Reverend Thomas E. MoUoy, whose interest and encouragement has made Loria ' s present form possible, we owe a deep debt of gratitude. The wholehearted support and co-operation of the student body have been in no small measure responsible for the magazine ' s improved condition The College as a whole, has in this as in all other scholastic activities, manifested that fine spirit of loyalty so necessary to the accomplishment of this undertaking. The Class of ' 25 has in a special manner contributed to the suc- cess of Loria. With persevering faith its members have endeavored to bring the magazine to a state of perfection. By their sincere and praiseworthy efforts we may proudly declare they have greatly furthered Loria s noble aims! This unity which is found in the promoters of Loria. has become a function of the journal itself. It is a bond which united the students more closely to one Page one hundred thirty-nine another.

Shenie From earliest time , men have ahvavs sought some escape from reality, into a world of ideal beauty which should still their eternal dissatisfaction with the imperfections and inconsistencies of life. This dream has saved them when all else failed. It is nohlest when in imagination it transcends the liniilalioiis of the known and enters the realm of the unknown. Music, obeying the laws of life and dealing with that greater part of man ' s being which lies hidden beneath his acts and his thoughts, is the one perfect medium for this dream of himianily. All those partaking in this dream agree with Swinburne in that Music, sister of sunrise and herald of life to be. Smiled as dawn on the spirit ot man. and the thrall was free. As an art. music was born of the unconscious attempt to express what was strongly felt. The first signs by which mind communicated with the mind were musical echoes or imitations of melodious sounds in nature. Music outgrew this elementary stage, however, as soon as the human soul learned the possibilities of purely spiritual expressions. For music is essentially spiritual, voicing mans ideals and aspirations, his deepest feelings and his unutterable yearnings. . times, the musical treats at St. Josephs resemble these moiuimenis in being a simple offering to God of that rich gift for which At last divine Cecilia came, Inventress of the vocal frame. Bach expressed St. Josephs ideals concerning the real purpose of this art when he wrote, it is to minister soleh to the honor of God and refreshment of the spirit, whereof, if one take not heed, it is no proper music but devilish din and discord. ' Realizing that infidelity has no hymnology, St. Joseph s collegians with their sincere belief in God. are wonderfully competent to understand and appreciate the highest order of music. Always willing to assist any striving for the ideal, the Violin and Mandolin Club, under the presidency of Ethel Sherrie. has consistently presented to us the very best in music. For mere succession of euphonious sounds only wafts one helplessly hither and thither on a vaguely surging sea of sound, an unresisting prey to the composer ' s every whim. But in true music we find the life-giving draught that arouses all the nobler faculties to action. Music is not a draught to intoxicate the listener, an anodyne to bring mere momentary forgetfulness of the day ' s cares and troubles, nor a sense-killing potion to waft him lazily into luxurious dreams of a Mahomet ' s Paradise. It lifts him to the edge of that invisible realm of thought, feeling and aspiration for which he yearns unfailingly. 0 music of sphere-descended maid Friend of pleasure, wisdom ' s aid. ' B H.

Our College Glee Cluh has provided us with these pleasures on manv occa- sions. During the past year, chiefly through the able direction of Muriel B.

Page one hundred forty-seven Atl lrtir Assnriatum President — Cecilia M. Dolan Secretary — Agnes V. McShane The Athletic Association is glad to report that this year has been the most successful in the sport life of the college from every point of view. Intercollegiate and intramural liasketball games are the chief events to he re- memliered. But what memories! Our after-the-games teas are mirrors reflecting the vivid colors of the resisting teams and groups of students chattering and laughing over the events of the afternoon. Rightfullv mav we be acclaimed a coming college, for. after the manner of bigger institutions of education, we were happily enabled to pre.sent our worthy squad with the sweaters — white for clean playing, adorned with a gold and white letter symbolizing their dear Alma Mater, for whom they had fought so valiantly. Bui wIki could have fought more valiantly than the individaul classes? At the first game, which took place between the Juniors and the Freshmen, the spectators became so excited as to interfere with the well known time-horn. Vi hile the time- keepers blew, the spectators literally screeched, and the players continued to play until the referee threw up her hands and shouted, That ' s all there is: there isn ' t any more. The score was 23-18 in favor of the Freshmen. The other games proved equally exciting, with the Freshmen carrying the laurels every time. A note of appreciation is due Cecilia Dolan, our President, whose steady per- severance added so much to the athletic activities. Her lively interest in the sport world made her an enthusiastic president, and her own personal charac- teristics have made her loved by every one. With the close of the basketball season and with the approach of spring, our minds turned to outdoor baseball and hockey. Both these sports were introduced this year, our former activities being restricted to basketball and indoor base- ball. Probably we shall be able to add these sports to our intercollegiate pro- gram next year, if we may judge by the keen enthusiasm of the girls. E. B. S., ' 25. Page one hundred forty-eight Atblrttr Mnl 19a4 May M. 1921 As one passes St. John ' s field he hears from within the walls the re-echoing of merrv cheers. What festival is it? What is the cause of the enthusiastic out- burst? Upon inquiring you find that it is the St. Joseph ' s College annual ath- letic meet, and the ringing voices are those of the triumphant Sophomores upon the victory of their class relay team. Great reason have they to rejoice, for ' 26 can boast of no small number of capable athletes. Their rare ability is unmis- takably portrayed by their piling up thirty-two out of the possible fifty-two points, thus claiming by their championship for two consecutive years, perpetual possession of the Bishop MoUoy Cup. But sportsmanship can never be tested without defeat, and the other classes anxiously grasp the opportunity to practice so noble a virtue. After three hours of victories, cheers and defeats have passed, the spectators, dejected or enthusiastic, are seen in the distance leaving the field.

The final records which our score-book shows are seven wins, three losses and one tie in our eleven games. Our losses, however, represent de- feat by only two colleges. Hunter and Manhattanville. S. J. C. has attained a notable place in sport annals. The support through thick and thin manifested by the student body is a credit to .Alma Mater. The scrub team. too. must not go unmentioned. Were it not for the loyal co-opera- tion of our scrub, we of the arsitv could not have been so successful. Well may our College be proud of the spirit shown by its undergrads. The games scheduled for the season were by no means easy ones. Our Al- umnas. St. Elizabeth ' s, Georgian Court, Hunter, New Rochelle Alumna;, Man- hattanville and New York University found places in our list of games, which lasted from December 6th until March 21st. The first half of the season was de- voted to home games. the second half to games away from home. Our season was formally opened on December 6th. when our arsity had a game with former B.A ' s of S. J. C. The team made a neat appearance arrayed in white sweaters w ith gold J s. The pace set by our Six proved too fast for our Alumnae. Though the B.-As fought gamely, the arsity gained its first victory of the season, the final score being 37-18. This was the first leaf in our laurel- wreath. It was a good omen, and we set out to continue the success of this good beginning. On the following Saturday, St. Elizabeth ' s Varsity traveled from Convent Station to our court. The Blue and Gold fell before our Gold and ' hite. Again we proved our speed and accuracy by rolling up a score of 12 to St. Eliza- beth ' s 21. The game was from the beginning a clear-cut victory for us. No one feared at any time in the game that Alma Mater s basketball honors were in danger. Two victories, then a defeat, is the way our record goes. Our colors fell, on January 10th before those of Hunter. The squad of sixteen, on Hunter ' s side, inflicted upon our squad of nine its first loss. At final recording, the score-book showed a tally of 20 on our side to Hunter ' s 46. But though defeat dampened our spirits somewhat, it could not entirely take away our optimism. The biggest score of the season was rolled up by us when we tackled New ork University ' s representatives. Since we had heard that N. . U. was invincible in sports, the first whistle of the game caused us no little fear. But we were not to be held down. For the third time in our four games. we were victorious. Our lightning passes and clear-cut playing proved the un- doing of our opponents. Though they fought hard, changing the positions of guards to centers, forwards to guards and so on. they were unable to gain any more than 13 points against our 4.5. New Rochelle Alumns was our next opponent. Again fortune was on our side. Though New Rochelle ' s girls attempted to break our winning streak, we prevented them from doing so. The goals they made could not come up to ours, and we won again, this time by a score of 46 to New Rochelle ' s 26. Our next two games were the ones in which we suffered defeat a second and third time. The games with Hunter and Manhattanville. the first away, the sec- ond at home, were losses for us. Hunter took the game from us with less of a score than she had taken our first defeat, the final count this time being 40-23. Manhattanville ' s Six got the lead on us in the first half, and though the final Page one hundred fifty-one score was .17-211, it shows that, while we were practically overwhelmed in ihe first half, we rallied in the second half and held their forwards to but nine points. Our days for traveling had arrived. On Februarv 28th, one could have seen our Squad, Coach, Cheer Leaders and supporlers. ' embarking for the trip to New Rochelle for our return game. That traveling has no ill effects on our players is evidenced by the fact that our forwards, with the necessary assistance from the other members of the squad, tallied 35 points between them, whereas New Rochelle was able to account for but 28. Georgian Court ' s representatives were to be met next. Even after the long journev down to Lakewood, our plavers failed to show lack of pep. Though (he court was very much larger than the one we have plaved on, our squad made itself at home and took the game by a score of 25 to Georgian Court ' s ]8. Our first tie in three years was forthcoming. On March 14th, on St. Eliza- beth ' s Court, our team faced a much stronger squad than we had previously met. The score swayed first to our side, then to theirs, until at final summing up, neither side had won. The game had ended in a tie — an odd situation for us. The game with Georgian Court on the following Saturday concluded our sea- son. Georgian Court ' s team arrived in Brooklyn to attempt to break even. Al- though they had a squad of twelve, against our eight, we entered the game with undaunted spirits. We were out to end up our season with victorv. We were out to win this game in which our Captain Center and a forward were to make Page one hundred fifty-two their last appearance as Varsity players For lack of adjectives and for fear of lessening the honor due to the squad, I shall merely state the result of the game — 43 points on our side. 17 on Georg- ian Court ' s. Those who saw the game cannot but remember what an excellent game our girls plaved — a game so speedy, clear and accurate that Georgian Court ' s hope of breaking even faded after the first half. Thus ended the most successful basketball season in our College history. Basketball for 1924-1925 is now only a memory — but it is a pleasant one. Most of the credit for our success must go to our Coach. Miss Calhoun. ith- out her able coaching and kindly backing up, ' our Varsity could not have been successful. Our manager, too, deserves a vote of thanks which we are not loath to give. To the team itself — to the streaks of forwards whose unfailing eye was the instrument of our success, who played marvelously all season; to centers without whose speed we should have been handicapped, to guards whose sterling defense proved a bulwark to us — to all our squad, to our manager and especially to our Coach, the lasting gratitude of Alma Mater is extended through the Least of The - .

(Strl rnulH A training course for leaders of any sort whatever must presumably be a seri- ous affair. Scout work has opened a new field where even leadership is a game and ideals are attained at plav. The genius of the scout movement is that it has just as much in it for the leaders as for the Scouts themselves. and in play- ing the new game, aspiring captains have acquired the background necessary for guiding younger girls in developing practical community virtues and a sane, healthy conception of life in general. In September, under the enthusiastic direction of Miss Anne Rocs, the Juniors were initiated into the ways of scouting. The class hours, organized as troop meetings afforded new knowledge and unbounded enjoyment. The scout work, taught through practical games, has opened up new possibilities for most of us. As prospective captains, the class has learned how to develop the fair-and- square. play-the-game sort of girl. Health, homemaking and citizenship are the three great aims of scouting, all accomplished through work, play and helpful fellowship. Enthusiasm has been the keynote of the work in the course, and it has carried this class beyond the meeting, out into active scouting. Many have applied for troops and are impatiently waiting to join the ranks of St. Joseph captains, at present a representative group. Miss Agnes Lawlor has conducted the course for the second semester. Her di- rection is marked by the same interest and appreciation of the child-spirit that animated her predecessor. Our Scouts could have no better inspiration. Since no man liveth in himself. the new leaders, friends to all. look forward to playing the Scout game with girls who must be worthy of a creed which reads in part. Nothing mean or false is worthy of us. and nothing fine or brave is im- possible for us with Gods help. ' A. E. D., 26.

Tall, stately trees have discarded their conventional green and donned rich red and golden brown garments that stand out in striking contrast against the sky. In the gardens, onlv chrvsantheniunis. catching the brilliant sunlight, add color to their darkening foliage. Golden pumpkins and yellow cornstalks in the brown fields again remind us of the season. The whole country seems a huge niulti- luied bouquet But as the sun slowly sinks, a shiver seems to run through the placid atmosphere. Perhaps you think it only the wind, but those who watch carefully, sometimes catch glimpses of misty shadows crossing the newly-risen moon. No. indeed, these are not merelv shadows of trees stirred bv the evening breeze, hut the Spirits of Halloween — witches, ghosts and goblins. Each year on this very night, when the moon is high, S. J. C. ' s Hallowe ' en Dance is the scene of their pranks and antics. Of course, even goblins are im- proved by time and practice, and this year their artfulness seemed to have reached its climax. As each couple arrived at the Hotel Aster, a sprightlv little witch flew down on her broomstick, and with that trusty tool soon swept all the cares of the day into the cavern called Past from which thev can never emerge. When the nuisic started, the guests were welcomed to the Laurel Room bv grinning Jack 0 Lanterns. who winked signals to waiting goblins. The dutv of these tiny folk was to see that everyone had the best time possible — a duty well performed, if one may judge from the enthusiasm of the gathering. One of the special devices of our mystic friends was the favors they left — images of them- selves and a variety of whistles and hats, which added to the gaiety pervading the evening. Pleasant backward glances at this dance have not been limited to the usual two or three days. Even after the passing of months, as often as our reminiscences turn to the good times of the year, someone is sure to mention enthusiastically the Halloween Dance. A. M. H., -25. Page one hundred sixty-one Z ol s o ai. c_ oi o z X Page one hundred sixty-two ®I)f i ' ntior Prom Senior Prom has come and gone. Even now the caravan of the past, which it lately joined, is graying in the distance. It belongs now, not to vitalizing hope, but to reminiscence. Yet, in planning this prom, the Seniors seriously hitched their wagon to a star. Thev bound their hopes to the star of an ideal of suc- cess, and their hearts, risen with its brightness, are loath to lose its glow. That the light does not linger as the evening star, but rather flashes with the passing splendor of the meteor, is the common regret of proms and other delightful things. The pleasantest exercise remaining after several months ' return to nor- malcy, is to consider calmly the successfulness of our event and its causes. It is a fact, and the gracious testimony of all who attended, that the prom was a success — an assured, unquestioned success. Many factors contributed to this happv result, not the least among them the charming company of friends of 2.5 within and without the college. The Class of 2.5 is deeplv appreciative of their support and is happv that the prom itself offered such a fitting means of show- ing its gratitude. Why did people enjoy themselves at the Senior Prom? What magic invokes the spirit that plays about a successful college dance? The right assemblage, the right environment, the right ordering of arrangements, a world of care and judgment and enthusiasm to secure the success of a few hours — these constitute the magic that produces the charm, the indicative atmosphere of a prom. If any one factor may be said to have outweighed the others that made for suc- cess, it was the sincere enthusiasm of the Senior Class in general, and of the in- dividual members of the committee. To any undergraduate besides a Senior, it seems platitudinous to insist on the realization that the Senior Prom, apart from its intrinsic importance in the social order of college life, is invested with all the ap peal of finality. To the Senior, it is the last supreme hours of the prom girl, a phenomenon of the undergraduate world, which for her is gradu- ally narrowing to an inevitable term. .Sentimentalism. perhaps, but a potent fac- tor in the making of proms. If willing and eager class interest is a factor of importance in conducting a class dance, what shall we say of the actual planning and accomplishment, duties which a class bestows on a chairman and her com- mittee in the manner of gift-giving? The committee might well maintain the thesis that a prom is supported, not by interest and loyalty, but by brains and un- wearying feet, Muriel Simpson knows from experience how to run a prom. That she consented to accept the confidence and burdens of the class in this mat- ter reflects with equal favor on their judgment and her generositv. Senior Class President, Emily 0 Mara, was Honorary Chairman of the Committee, whose members were: Muriel Simpson, Chairman, Getrtrude Dilworth, Agnes Hearns. Muriel McCarthy, Mary McGinnis, Rosalind Molesphini, Grace O ' Brien and Genevieve Sheridan. Their work was most willing and effective, and the incidents of the evening that resulted are well known — the elegant simplicity and unpre- tentiousness of the Park Lane, in every architectural and social detail so seasoned and free from vulgar intrusion of newness; the attractive orders and favors; music of exquisite tone and rhythm; the lovely dignity and grace of the prom- enade. A dainty su|)per in the Tapestry Room, and then in the ballroom Marie Antoinette, dancing until — a delightfully witching hour before the dawn; came at last the reluctant strains of Good Night, Ladies! The guests of the class showed in word and glance their appreciation of a most pleasurable evening. The Seniors, who remained to listen to those half-unwelcome strains, read in one another ' s faces a story half real, half of fairvland — but this was the end of the chapter. ' A. M. C, ' 25. Page one hundred sixty-three D CO O cC O z w c ) w I H fiiior J rnm (llommittrr ICunrbrnu The participation in even a mere attempt at a worthwhile college enterprise is not only a privilege, but a source of real joy to every spirited girl. When, however, that endeavor reaches such a realization as to reflect honor on S. J C. her cup of jov receives an added savor of justifiahle pride. But. when finally that effort is recalled in the light of retrospect, it assumes an even richer and fuller meaning. Consequentlv. one may readily imagine the pleasure with which, on Saturday. Januarv 9th. the committee of the Senior Prom revisited the scene of their labors and triumphs. The occasion was a luncheon given in their honor at the Park Lane by Mr. Charles Wilson, Manager of that hotel. By one-thirty the lobby revealed the entire committee assembled: Emily F. O ' Mara, Honorary Chairman: Muriel L. Simpson, Chairman; Gertrude M. Dil worth, Agnes M. Hearns. Muriel B. McCarthy. Mary C. McGinnis, Rosalind M. Molesphini, Grace M. O ' Brien and Genevieve R. Sheridan. After a most cordial welcome from Mr. ilson. who had made careful and kindly preparations for their coming, they were escorted to their table, which was laid in the center of the Tapestry Room. Luncheon, as planned by Mr. Wilson, in no way followed Pliny ' s prece])t: Their best and most wholesome feeding is upon one dish and no more, and the same plaine and simple. Rather would it call forth Craffuts outburst: Oh dainty and delicious! Food for the gods! Ambrosia for Alpicius! Worthy to thrill the soul of sea-born Venus, Or titillate the palate of Silenus. The music of the verv fine orchestra was most enjoyable, the more so since several of 25 s particular favorites, such as MacDowell ' s X itches Dance ' were rendered. But mindful that discourse is the sweeter banquet ' and that conver- sation is the music of the mind, conversation was not neglected for either the pleasure of the palate or the satisfaction of the aesthetic sentiment. Every detail of the Prom was animatedly discussed. The beauties of the Tapestry Room, which the demands of committee work had not enabled them to enjoy minutely on the thirtieth, were now rapturously extolled: the charm of the liuicheon music was but a reminder of the Prom music: the walking of every luncheon party across the floor was a signal tor a discussion of the walk of the promenade itself. Their last promenade — the very last. This thought proved a talisman opening the chest of precious memories garnered from four happy years. Parties, dances, proms, — escapades, larks, teas, — basketball, yearbooks, Loria and plays — class days, entertainments and hazings, — they all tumbled forth wrapped in the soft, alluring golden haze of the past. And if at times a slight shadow fell on this glimmering pile at the thought of leaving S. J. C. who could blame the girls? What if the gay repartee and sparkling wit were dimmed for a moment at this thought? After all, the perfection of conversation is not to play a regular sonata, but. like the Aeolian harp, to wait the inspiration of the passing breeze. And if that breeze were a trifle sorrow-laden, may they be ex- cused a tear? The more so since, with regret of the past so swiftly flown, there was mingled ambition for the future. Much of college life was still left for them — much was to be done. But for a few hours they rested in the isle of happy fulfillment. That this happiness was so complete was not a little due to the firm realization that they had in spirit the company and sympathetic comradeship not only of every member of 25, but of every girl in St. Joseph ' s.

The untiring efiorls (d our Prom chairman, Kathryn Kilgallen, our posters under the supervision of Kathryn Fisher, and the gratifying supjjort of Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen filled us with assurance that the Prom would fulfill our greatest desires. When finally Friday the thirteenth came, many surprises were awaiting us. Blue and gold. which had been heard in whispers, materialized into dance- orders, decorated with our mascot and class colors, and the ' silver vanities de- lighted us no less than the silver cigarette cases pleased our escorts. But the loveliest surprise came from our Sister-Class. Each Jimior received just before the Promenade, a beautiful old-fashioned corsage bouquet. Such kindly thought on the part of the Freshmen did not go unsung, and we Juniors are preserving our bouquets as a tribute to their thoughtfulness. Who can fitly describe the Promenade of the Class of 1926? Words are inade- quate, but it will always hold a place in the memory and heart of every Junior. Dancing to the music of Whiteman ' s orchestra, each Junior looking her best, passed the time so quickly that not one of the dancers was willing to go home when the delightful strains finally stopped. The night had come and gone, we had held our Prom, and we would never again hold a Junior dance of our own.

The twenty-ninth ar- rived, and although a typical spring night had been promised, the weather man upset things a trifle and sent us a chilly east wind supported by a little rain later in the evening.

It is the reason for mv present dejection: my day has come and gone uilh the i;radualion of the Class of ' 25. Of what use is the rest of mv life to me. except to ponder over the good times I have heard about and ex- perienced with this dear class? Mv |ilace with them has been unique and differeiit from that of most mascots in thai I mvself have been with ihc girls orilv since their Junior Year. You see. at the end of their h reshman vear, 2.5 decided to adopt a mascot. But thev didn t set out to find one until early in their Sophomore Year. They traveled downtown and purchased four little white |Hippies. with green collars, whom they christened Senior, junior, Sophomore ' and Freshman. These four little pets, jjerched in regular succession on the mantelpiece on the top floor front, attracted my attention. However, this happy little group was soon broken up because one day in the second semester, a learned man. accompanied by his little daughter, came to the college to deliver a lecture. The little girl was shown the pets of the Class of ' 25 bv her kind hostesses who also let her play with one of them. She had be- come so attached to young .Sophomore, for it was he, that she took him home with her. And so, ' 25 was deprived of its own namesake. Then came their Class Day in Junior Year — and with it mv arrival into (he Class as a present to them from their own dear little sister class ' 27, for whom I have always retained the greatest affection. If I was at all inclined to be conceited, my royal reception by 25 would have made me so, for thev immediately named me Bozo and adopted me as their mascot. Since then, my love for them has increased with every moment. Perhaps, one of my funniest experiences of that year, occurred in a classroom one day, when a prof, whom 1 had never seen before objected to my presence, saying that anything so silh looking had no place where intellectual paths were being pursued. The girls were most loyal to me and seemed quite upset by her attitude. But I realized that the lady did not reckon with my harmlessness and the true psychology of the situation. Anvwav, I was taken down from my posi- tion as overseer, and I never sat as a spectator in that same class again. The school year ended before I could realize it, and I was suddenly carried off to a strange home. Being with our class president, however, I cared not where I was taken.

Clear as a Bell Champion Page one hundred seventy-eight i}t luUpttn Well, Will Rogers has his Illiterate Digest, so we thought we ' d take a pattern after the College Bulletin and let you in on a few things. In pronouncing Bulletin we don ' t know whether the accent is on the first or the third syllable. The only difference between us and the Bulletin is that the Bulletin tells you about the College equipment while we tell you about the people who inhabit the College. Of course the girls live European plan, eating at Freye ' s. Well St. Joseph ' s does teach the girls an awful lot they wouldn ' t learn any place else. There are also a great many under- studies of statesmen, scholars, actresses, and so forth, who will leave us this June (we hope by the front door). Now, a few months ago everyone was talking about William Jennings Bryan. We don ' t like to boast but we do think that a great many of our girls could talk that gentleman out of countenance and if Mary McGinnis ' s talks were in volumes, they ' d make Orationes Ciceronia look like pocket editions. St. Joseph ' s can cheer lustily for Nurmi for we ' re sure of prowess of Celia Dolan. We have another Cecilia, too, Cecilia McLoughlin. My ! we hate to think the end of the world is no near, but what else can one think when he or she sees a hum.an being doing spirit acts in all the plays and fairy dances besides? Everybody thought the phonograph was a wonderful invention. Then some man invented the radio. St. Jo- seph ' s College never saw the need of getting one, because they didn ' t want to keep the students nights and besides, they have Mildred ' itale. There ' s a theory that all poets live in garrets and obscurity, but we couldn ' t im- agine Dorothy Dempsey ' s doing just that. We hope she ' ll be made first Poet Laureate of the United States. Now Emily O ' Mara doesn ' t seem to have as much trouble run- ning things as most presidents do. It ' s a remarkable feat to keep thirty-odd pleased. Of course Emily ' s accomplished. She ' s a ventriloquist and can mimic all sorts of men and animals and even birds There ' s quite a literary group in the class of ' 25 — talks in coffee shops and every- thing. If any newspaper needs a new staff ' 25 could provide one. Agnes Corry could edit the More Truth than Poetry column and Agnes Roland could write up Book Reviews, though she ' d better not .sav much against Fanny Hurst ' s novels. Agnes Pat- tison could take The Rhyming Optimist column. In case there is need for addi- tional reporters, especially for dances, St. Joseph ' s girls would help out, to say nothing of the many friends of the College. In regard to the pictures in the paper, Genevieve Sheridan can draw them. Oh! we forgot — Muriel Simpson can be general manager and canvass for ads. Some of the St. Joseph ' s girls are really musical — outside of singing The Owl and the Pussy Cat, we mean. Maybe ' Virginia Fox, Muriel Mc- Carthy, Ethel Sherrie and Dorothy Dempsey will organize a new Philharmonic Group when the present one goes abroad to display American talent. In case the President does much more entertaining he ' ll need another reception committee. We ' d give Catherine Hannon, Agnes Hearns, and Rosalind Molesphini. Every time anyone goes into the office, she illustrates the Dentist ' s sign, Keep Smiling. We guess Margaret Roche saw a lot of those signs for she ' s always smiling. Hick and Rick rhyme, maybe that ' s why Beatrice always gets a Mrs. Abel part on the stage. But Beatrice is quite citified as we found out when we saw her dodge a regular subway rush on the College Campus. Some people come later, others come early, Big Ben for sale. We think Anna McDonald bought one during her first year of college and at the same time put the time two hours ahead of Daylight Saving. Now Elsa Harper hangs a pullman sign in her room nights. The sign reads, Quiet is requested for the benefit of those who have retired. ( onsequently her family lets her oversleep. Ruth Lavin thinks charity begins abroad — hence, mite boxes, much missionary zeal and always we-kan-duet. Ellen Manning speaks volumes, another sign of the pro- verbial Irish talkativeness. The price of smelling salts fluctuates with the increase or decrease in the number of fainters. To reduce her high expense of living Margaret Lvnch had better buy a large supply, now that the market is low. Yet we have to consider; the greater our expenses, the less our income tax. When the end of the world comes round, (some, people, especially one Long Islander, seems to think it near), Marian Aubert can help out. She ' s had a great deal of ex- perience in judging people, since she has been chairman of the Honor System. We ' d hke to give you some leading questions of the day. Unlike most leading ques- tions these are now-debatable. Is Rita McCaffrey the subject of O ' Captain, my Cap- tain? Has Filomena Giorgio bobbed her hair? Will Alice Grainger enter the con- vent? Is Sally Todd ever around when her friends wildly call Sally? Does Sylvia Corsiglia ever have any time to spare? The questions do, of course, mark the general foolishness of women ' s consistency, as one prof would say. But with inconsistencv quite inconsistent with the male sex, the said prof has always maintained in effect that questions are at least a sign of dawning intelligence. E. R. B., ' 28.

With each edi- tion another chapter is put down and culminated. In tiiis issue the filth section of its written storv is contained. We cannot help experiencing a sensation ol genuine satisfaction when we peruse the account of our steady steps of progress. Of course we are not un- usual in any wav. We just manage to keep an even pace whereby we find our- selves a few steps upward and onward toward achievement and attainment The appreciable alertness, unstinting support and constant co-operation of the body as a whole make this possible. Through the leadership of Mrs. Florence Nole i Plant this year has been a fruitful one. Acknowledgment of her untiring and unselfish work ought here to be made. .She has organized a practical and pur- poseful program and has admirably seen to its complete execution. The succession of events has been carefully thought out and so planned as not to become monotonous and at the same time uninteresting. The carrying out of the program has entailed work by various committees. The Alumnae year was opened with the dance which was held as usual. Thanks- giving week at the Hotel Plaza. On that occasion we have to confess to a bit of romancing. For a few moments we became retrospective. Our feeling was expressed by Byron: On with the dance, let joy be unconfined. With that at- mos|ihere about us we relived our own Proms. ' We reviewed those moments uhicli ha c now passed and for that reason we all loved the Alunnite Dance. Con- gratulations are due the chairman. Fthel Kellam. 20. It is a yearly reminder of those happy and unlorgetable events. Closely following that was the basketball game of December .5. On that day the former athletes came to the lore and vied with the Varsity for top place. Naturally the once keen edges were somewhat dull from lack of use and our fate was to not reach our goal of conquerers. But many manifestations of the old sharpness were sensed now and again. We live in hopes. That is always true. For we do want an athletic nucleus. With an increase of membership perhaps this will be born. Then actual, definite and determining work may be done. The suggestion was projected that, if each class would work independently, perhaps we could achieve more than heretofore. This was received kindly and immediately acted upon by the various classes. Since, as in all organizations, we are not exempt from monetary entanglements, we thought that a finance rais- ing scheme would not be unacceptable, so the classes have in various ways in- creased the treasury considerably, at the same time promoting sociability among their members. Card parties proved a most lucrative enterprise and they simply swamped everyone. The Lenten period brought forth our Annual Comnninion Breakfast on March 22nd. Mass was celebrated in the College Chapel by our Rt. Rev. Bishop as- sisted by Mons. Kelty and Father Dillon. To have these old friends with us again was indeed both an honor and a pleasure. At the suggestion of our Presi- dent and under her leadership, an Alumna ' Choir added to the impressiveness of the occasion. The Misses Lennon, Kellam. Connollv. 0 Connor. Campbell, Byrne, Dolan. Roberts, O ' Hale, Duffy, McCoimell and Niolen made up the choir. Florence Nolen-Plant played the organ. During Holy Communion Marie Mc- Connell sang very feelingly tA)me to Jesus. Page one hundred ninety-seven The Rrcakfa.-t followpcl al the Motel St. George, and here we luiiilil give to Miss Wliite and her coniniillee the credit due them for so eniciently and elTectively arranuinn llie IJreaklast. 1 lie Draiion Room was used for llie occasion. The Alumna- banner hung in all its glory hack of the guest table. ,|ori(|iiils and lilies were the decorations, and these together with the smilax were beautifully banked across the front of the guest table. Each of the other tables was decorated with a center bouquet and the uliolc was indeed a very lovely setting for our ainuial event. We regretted verv nuicli the inaliilitv of our Bishop to be present at the Break- fast — likewise Mons. Kelly and Father Dillon. Our guests for the morning were: Father Le Bufle. S.J.. of the Social Service School of Fordhani University: Pro- fessor George Sinister of the (.College Kacultv, former Dean of Literature in Uni- versilv of Notre Dame. Indiana; and Mrs. Thomas E. McCJoldrick. Regent of Brooklyn Gircle. Father Le Buffe gave us a very interesting and appealing talk on Social Service and the extreme need for educated Catholic women who would enter this work of the Church. Higher education and the insistence on graduate work for the college graduate was the theme of Mr. Shuster ' s message. Mrs. McGoldrick was to have talked to us about the motion picture work as a phase of Federation activities, but to our deep regret, she was prevented from being with us through illness. Once more this all important event of our Alumnae year drew to a close, but with it we realized the fulfillment of a precedent, the importance of which increases year by year as we grow in numbers and become more and more a representative Catholic organization. All the events of the year are equally important, but it seems that unusually so is the new interest manifested in dramatics. This year marked our initial per- formance as an Alumna?. In all modesty, we decided on our first attempt to undertake something unpretentious, and so on April 20th we presented in the College Auditorium the Playgoers by Arthur Pinero and Tliursday Evening by Christopher Morlev: two one-act plays. Encouraged bv the success of this presentation we hope to make this innovation an annual event. On the 16th of May our Annual Card Party for funds for the Perpetual Schol- arship established by the Alumnae in 1920 was in the Willow Gallery of the Hotel St. George. Miss Lennon was chairman of the affair and we spent a de- lightful afternoon with our members and their friends. And of course, our year will close with our Annual Luncheon to the graduates in June at the Hotel Commodore. Miss Uhlinger is in charge. The Class of ' 2.5 will bring to us thirty-two new members who are filled with enthusiasm. ith this reception of ' 25 a new era is marked. Some may regard it as an un- important one but to us it is significant of strength. It is an augmentation of our ranks. The denouement is, We have worked, we have experienced, we have tried, we hope to achieve. And now our chronicles would not be complete without mention of our in- dividual achievements. First we must note the entrance into religion of Agnes Byrne, ' 21, now of the order of the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart and Rosamond Thompson, 23, better known to us as Bob, who received the habit of the Sisters of St. Joseph on March 22. She will be known as Sister Marie Therese. .And while these have chosen to serve by their prayers and good works the spiritual ills of mankind. Amalia Simonetti. ' 20, has elected to alleviate the physical suf- fering and has successfully won her M.D. from Woman ' s Medical College of Page one hundred ninety-eight Philadelphia. She is now serving as Chief House Surgeon in Marv Immaculate Hospital. Jamaica. Ere our year closes, Mary Huschle. 22. and Agnita Duffy, ' 21. will have completed their course in Fordham Law School. The AlunuKP announce with pleasure the marriage of Theresa Dolan, 24, to Mr. Howard Sweet Jantan on April 16th; of our honored President. Florence E. Nolan, ' 20, to Mr. William J. Plant on May 30th; and of Rita Fearon, ' 24, to Mr. George Bryan on June 10th. In closing our chronicle we wish to express to the Undergraduate Association of our Alma Mater our appreciation for the many delightful hours we have spent in their company this year. Their cordial invitations to share in the various activities at College have kept us in close touch with our Alma Mater, and this is a feature it has been our particular desire to develop. iln Mrmnrtam The Alumna? announce with deep regret the death of Maureen Bingham Brady, ' 21, on April 29th. Page one hundred ninety-nine Half Our happy-visioiiiiio; eyes see, in array. The splendors of the shining road ahead. Ail life was but a prelude to this day, Hul tliiiugh we go, we leave our hearts instead. Thy high word spoken, beautifully gleams Upon our pathway like a shining star, To turn the world ' s high platitudes to dreams, Till, as the Kings, we hdiiif us from afar. Dear Alma Mater — dawn, with new desire. And Life ' s sweet lute has sunnnoned us awav. We go — and with uplifted hearts aspire! To seek the Light of Love! Vale! Vale! D. D.. ' 2.5.
