Thus, too, our hopes, our love Can find no medium sufficient for the recompense. We try — in this. We see the ever in- creasing waves rise high And think to stay. They fall.

When mure seriously thinking about her we cannot help speaking of her pro- ficiency in History and English. If Cae did not know a date or influence or movement, then it is a safe guess that there was something wrong with the prof ' s question. This very correlation of these very highly correlated subjects blends with the symmetry of her whole self. But if Cae is fastidious in relation to her person, she is fastidious also about the efficiency witli which she undertakes any position of responsibility. The chair- manship of the Stella Maris Dan« — the first in the new building — was entrusted to her and Cae proved thai she knew what to do with the trust.

' m kARY reminds one of nothing so much as Little Boy Blue with his delightful determination to play forever — and his faithful toys while sturdy and staunch they stand. Both characteristics are admirably blended into this charm- ing boy who delights when she speaks and delights when she does not. For Mary possesses that quiet excellence that when necessary, can become excellently heard. Such necessity arose in the Sophomore year — and Mary was elected Cheer leader. For two years Mary cheered many a game to successful completion. We will not simn forget — those basketball scenes — one goal needed — One cheer need- ed! — and Mary in her white and gold — armored with megaphone — gave the im- ] etus to victory. In the held of athletics Mary has been not only a charming leader, but also an efficient follower. For four years she has played forward on the class team, and ' 29 owes much of its success and trophies to her clean, fair, quick, agile and ' efficient playing. At all times, Mary stands so sturdy and staunch to her ideals, glimpsed at rather than seen, suggested rather than heard, that she was elected to. the Student Council in her Senior year. Four years have not changed her. In her is the essence of all youth — which because it is so genuine, will always be permanent. True art conceals art.

XX THESE days of radicalism and rashness, it is most refreshing to find a girl who is neither antiquated nor ultra-modern. Such a one is Kay.

You ask what were her conquests? Many! Bede and Caedmon are among her debtors for her original rendition of and improvement on their literary efforts. To the prof ' - she was equally helpful. No one who took a cer- tain examination in Literary Criticism can deny this, for Katherine ' s happy guess was the class ' s sole salvation. If you would know more of her mental ability, read Kay ' s verse in Footprints. In the recent whispering campaign, it was brought out that Katherine E. Bourke was the inspiration for the motto. Be Nonchalant. It was this air which first interested us in her. Her unobtrusive individuality attracted us; her pleasing imperturbability held us; and the knowledge that she was just one of us struggling, embryonic B. . ' s secured us to our fascinating classmate. Fourteen F O O T P R I N T S OVUe £. iS rennai ay ' This outer world is but the pictured scroll lit worlds within the soul.

This womanly, yet childlike characteristic has bewildered us. As a student, few- can equal her ' . She has reached the enviable heights of eight A ' s in one semester. Her determination to succeed, her alert mind and conscientious sense of duty, are the reasons for her success. Above all, Marie has not only faith in her own convictions, but the power of argumentation. But. do not think Marie is always poring over books, searching for knowledge. The social life of ' 29 always receives her whole-hearted support. Her ability as an actress, whether in a humorous class sketch or a profound characterization in the Dramatic Society, is well known. I lard, disagreeable tasks never daunted her, and she accomplishes them with a cheerful smile and willing hand. Never does Marie pass by a troubled classmate without a comforting word or a precious moment of interchange of confidences. Her keen sense of humor has brought her and many others from gloomy depths to joy. Marie ' s staunch char- acter and spiritual appreciation will bring her success and the place in the rank of lumnae that is her just due. Fifteen F O O T P R I N T S V-YWat- ' ctarcL; j. v« on(x a ? ' Your smiles are wauls whose ways we cannot trace That vanish and return we know not how: ' 1 ARGARET is the kind oi girl who convinces one that the bard who said ' Still water runs deep, knew his psychology. She is the epitome of sin- cerity, and yet, like all serious people, is possessed of a shyness that sometimes completely disguises her real feelings. Nevertheless, Margaret has a real sense of humor which coupled with her understanding and unfailing support, makes her a real pal. Her two years service on the Attendance Committee give evidence of her good judgment and efficiency. The good sportsmanship she exhibited as a mem- ber of our class team is carried over into all her activities. Whenever there was a task in he dune, no matter how short her notice, Margaret was always ready and willing to cooperate. ' In several members of the class g 1 sportsmanship has keen ascribed. To Margaret Conway the quality may he unequivocally attributed. During a very memorable class meeting her straightforward statement of opinion was effective in restoring relations of enmity between conflicting groups. Until senior year we were unaware that Margaret deplored the prevailing at- titude inward self-expression. Shortly before Commencement her name was ap- pended tn one of the must self-expressive articles ever published in LOR1A . Whatever reason prompted it. we are glad that Margaret ' s natural reticence was overcome sufficiently in enable her tint too surprised readers to appreciate her literary talent. .Ml in all.

Marie was in that little band. Conquering time and difficulties, she has won the advance rank and stands among us as one of Twenty-nine ' s own. Marie ' s sophomore year brought not even the slightest hint of what value she would be to us. We remember her frequent music recitals and how we thrill- ed tn them. We knew her as an interested member of the Glee Club without greater concern because we felt that there. Marie as a music lover belonged. And that was all for us. But actually that was not all. Marie ' s sophomore year was a critical point in her college career. Each one met her informally and before her local fame was sung. Thus we had to tacitly observe what Marie ' s quiet manner would never let her consciously display. But no one can help noticing sincerity that is not found among the most of men. No one can let go unnoticed the rare disposition of fairness of mind to others. )ne can never forget the willingness to shoulder responsibilities without any element of self-assertion. The College met her in activity for the first time in the pantomimic lead in the Glee Club production. It gave us happiness to know that she would do what she could think. Then comes the story that ' 29 loves to tell and count among its tra- ditions. The Senior Prom was due fur sailing. Without pre-consultation or leaky doubt the Seniors laid claim upon her. Then everything we had been thinking about her proved true. It was as though she had been brought to us for that one accomplishment alone. She handled the venture as skilfully, thoroughly and si- lently as she did her Lady of Shallott. Under her leadership ' 29 conquered once again.

It was due to her able management that this was one of our biggest social and financial successes of the year. But this is only one of Mary ' s claims to distinction. 1 ler interests are diversified. What college function has not benefitted by Mary ' s willing and untiring assist- ance? She identified herself with the activities of almost all the societies. We saw her in the ( dee Club, the Serenaders, the Dramatic Society and the Stella Maris Circle. But Mary thought of other things besides social affairs. Her earnestness and conscientious interest in all her undertakings inspired her classmates with con- fidence. This they manifested when they choose her to be their representative on the Council of the Undergraduate Association. They had every reason to feel that their trust was not misplaced. We can ' t help missing that congenial and sympathetic nature, that cheery smile and that unselfish cooperation. We are truly sorrow to part from Mary. ti- Eighteen F O O T P R I N T S 4 o voiijv K JeGi ereain ' A child of grace, rare-fashioned As lilies waving in wind-blown grass. ' XS IT possible that one so reserved could tempt another to want to know her better? Yes! For there is about this elusiveness a charm. We wonder in what it is that Dorothy is interested. We find that she is a student of life, that she is well read, and that above all. she is artistic, nut only in her ability to appreciate but to create. A deep love of the beautiful and a desire to be a part of beautiful surroundings characterize her. Many lovely, individualistic articles have been fashioned by her hands. We would not be surprised if in the future she shou ld be the mistress of one of those enchanting art chops. Dignity of manner and a cheerful nature lend additional charm to a charming character. Morever, Dorothy is a leader in many respects. She is the first to recognize and adopt interesting new fashions; she is in the front rank of those who always lend support to every social affair; and she is enviably prominent in the affections of her classmates. Xineteen F O O T P R I N T S Only the actions of the just Snit ' ll sweet and blossom in the (hist. gS IF TO disprove the old adage, appearances have, for once, proved a fair criterion of judgment. When we first met Dot Donelon, we were im- pressed by her frank, open countenance, boyish manner and happy laugh. We guessed that she was a real good sport and we have since found our estimate correct in the fullest extension of the term. The same qualities that Dorothy re- vealed on the basketball court, she has manifested in other fields of endeavor. Honor, loyalty, love of justice and dependability characterized her chairmanship of the Honor System Committee as well as her management of athletics. It is consistent with Dot ' s character that her judgments are uninfluenced by public opinion. No less surprising is her sociability. In our memory, Dot will always lie the sincere, sympathetic, congenial classmate of college days. Popularity is ' 29 ' s grateful tribute to a member ' s sportsmanship.

T%E ARE, in this reflection, presented with a study of one, whose interests VXy are varied and characteristic too. Yirgile has the uncommon combination of ability in her mathematical trend of mind, and literary prowess. Movements have filled her life — the Romantic movement, the movement of a line revolving about a point, the movement up a staircase, so hateful to her, the movement toward an appointment, so unimportant to her. Even in these move- ments that rule her life, we find the glowing contrast. Like to a musical theme that has its lofty moments in contrast to the more placid tempo, her college life has known the fast-moving and thrilling successes that her executive management has given us. Her Senior-Junior luncheon and Mission Day won whole-hearted plaudits from all. We offer in evidence of her geniality of disposition that she held her class vice-presidency so securely. We hold memorable of her varsatile talents her re- peated dramatic portrayals and her frequent musical recitals. We acclaim Virgile, the lackadaisical, the industrious, the teaser, the friend, the mathematician, the actress, and always — the likable.

' Q QUIET dependability, an eagerness to do her utmost wherever service might be rendered, a grave friendliness and sympathy, have distinguished .Anna during her four, or rather three and a half years at St. Joseph ' s. Anna was one of the industrious students who entered college in February and without osten- tation or any of the traits which mark the grind. caught up with those who had a five month ' s head start. This ambition was surely an asset to Twenty-nine. Something very real would have been lust had we not the spirit and support of thi-. most likeable of our members. To those who know her, Anna represents a friend who will give her aid or opinion with sincerity and refreshing frankness. To class and college, she rep- resents a genuine member, one who can enter into and give of herself whether tedious work or light-hearted play is required. We could close no dissertation on Anna Dunnigan without speaking of her particular and most delightful variety of charm — the charm of soft speech and sparkling laughter intermingled with becoming seriousness, of deep rooted en- thusiasm and strongly stressed ideals — the charm that so plainly reflects the Em- erald Isle. Twenty Ti. F O O T P R I N T S -VWarctarei_; v_ . pjif cteraio ' Oh, this learning, what a thing it is. XX APPEARANCE, a most helpless bit of attractive femininity Margaret ' s capable nature belies the impression thus conveyed. Two years of com- mendable work as class treasurer have given ample proof of her dependability. Her public doings were few. yet those tasks that meant time, effort, and skill, were numerous and scarcely seen. There were the countless refreshment com- mittees that knew the helpfulness of Margaret ' s hands. ( iften the sanctum shone with an orderliness such as her own daintiness alone would radiate. But Miss Fitzgerald came more visibly and creditably to the fore with Twenty-nine ' s Junior Prom of which she assumed the leadership. We count those moments must lastingly impressionable that were spent in class, where frequently the dynamic Margaret was displayed. With pleasure do we recall the days that the gentle-voiced little lady from Visitation Academy held whispered recitations with the profs. Then do we follow in recollection the grad- ual growth of her friendship among us. Then did we find the real treat of her spontaneous manner and flashing vivacity, regardless of the time or circumstance. This child of caprice has scholarly ways. The chalk Iin e of her capability is indelible in her college work. She ranks among those, who never seeking to dazzle scholastically, cannot seem to help accomplish that which must of necessity be accomplished. wenty Three F O O T P R I N T S c_y .tlent lO. q)Hs.S ' Under all speech that is good for anything (heir lies a silence that is better. fi ( )UR short years have passed since Allene arrived, a bewildered Freshman in Locker Alley. Nor have these years been spent in fruitless search for knowledge, success, or friendship, for Allene has left an imprint in the hearts of all Twenty-nine that will long be cherished. Though she is of a reserved and slightly reticent disposition, our intimacy with Allene could not but reveal her affectionate, loyal personality. Her sym- pathy and sound advice, always readily proffered, have helped many of us out of difficulties. She, more than any of us, seemed to possess the happy faculty of seeing straight to the point which philosophers call logic and laymen call common- sense. Her loyalty to the class has manifested itself in the enthusiasm with which she played Center on twenty-nine ' s basketball team. Allene will be remembered by her classmates as one eager in help, loyal to any responsibility undertaken, and the best of companions.

Her diligence, careful judgment, justice and sympathy made her a capable chairman of the Attendance Committee. Through her earnest cooperation, that body has been helped to its present status in the College. Kay was also interested in the History Club. To its activities, she contributed loyal support. The success of many interesting projects undertaken by the Club was due, in no small measure, to Catherine ' s enthusiasm. ( ur classmate tells us she will enter the business world. We feel certain of her success, f i her pleasing manner and industrious nature will surely win rec- ognition from her future associates as it has from those who have been her fellow- students for three years. wenty Five F O O T P R I N T S 9U n 9 . §Hffi sO Rare beauty And i soul breathing happiness. L—M Y( )UNG lady, lovely to look at and charming to know — that is Helen. Ami 5 1, quite in accordance with these, she is a person with ideals, striving to at- tain them. Some she does not disclose — knowing well that this world will not see their reality. A delicious sense of humor, a real appreciation of the serious side of things and an earnest desire to achieve are among her characteristics. With a delightful imagination which we cannot forget, Helen is like one who lives in a dream world —hut with her feet close to earth. She is versatile, too. in the number of activities in which she has participated. At social events, such as proms, she is always present. We remember a very de- lightful bridge held at - ' 53 Clinton Avenue, which owed its success to Helen ' s leadership. The t dee Club, and more conspicuously, the History Club, were among her chief extra-curricular activities. In the informal class plays Helen al- ways contributed to the dramatis personae. Remember the parody on Rostand ' s Romancers ! And now that the four years have come to a close, we sincerely regret losing her. Hut Helen, with her quiet charm will never fade from our memories.

What one can accomplish with these in her possess- ion! Alice is endowed with a lovely voice. Many of our class days have been made more enjoyable by her rendition. She was ever generous to those who cried for more. The Glee Club received her eager support the year the famous Japonette made its debut. In extra curricular activities, whether they demanded active work or smiling support, Alice has been on the spot to do her part. That she came from that mysterious island beyond the Narrows was no drawback to her at- tendance at proms, Hallowe ' en and Spring dances. Alice possesses a particularly charming manner — dignified, restrained and poised. Yes, she is ever ready to sympathize and to cheer with a smile. We cannot bid farewell to Alice without regrets — such companions are not too easily found.

It sounds y contradictory, doesn ' t it? But not when you know the girl — Helen Harri- son. She is both a genial comrade and a capable leader. Her host of friends is proof of the former; her record as president of the February class of ' 29 for two years bears witness to the latter. That host of friends will tell you how ready to help others Helen always is and how she completely forgets herself in her interest in others. That record reveals her as a cool, level-headed executive, one to whom you would willingly and gratefully relinquish responsibility. At proms and lectures, at social functions and in the classroom, Helen is al- ways in evidence as a loyal supporter of S. J. C. Whole-hearted interest and en- thusiasm characterize her as a spirited member of our college. Helen is quiet, but it is a silence that means something, a silence that guards a wealth of kindliness, dependability and sympathy, expressing themselves in actions that make mere words superfluous. Who is that quiet girl with the laughing eyes and merry smile? Why, that ' s one of the best of Twenty-niners — Helen Harrison. Twenty Eight v afijerine V-VW.

HS A thespian in the unusual capacity of male portrayals, Catherine has carv- ed a lasting impress in our more delightful recollections. Both the Glee Club and the Dramatic Society gave testimony to her worth so that whether Catherine spoke or sang, she pleased immensely. In the hist year, the members of the Dramatic Club gave her the position among them which they reserve always for the one whom they wish to especially honor — that of vice-president. This gesture was a recognition of her altruistic services in the past. Thus she carried an award of pure merit unattended by im- pi  sing duties. Catherine ' s true, lyric soprano has given us many thrilling moments of in- effable pleasure. Her entire social interests have been thus centered about artistic endeavors. Yet her constant interest in this direction has revealed the almost unbelievable in an artistic character — Catherine has not temperament. Who has ever seen Kay afire? Who has ever seen her impatient? On the contrary, earnestly, patiently, without a murmur, she has often shelved her womanliness to assume the demeanor of gallant or sire. Catherine, herself, has never given indication as to whether she intends to de- vote her later life in the interests of her talents. But our hope is that she will try to bring to others what she has so pleasurably brought to us — that under the quiet and submissive manner in which she has set about her scholastic duties, she might have been thinking, planning, building, dreaming dreams.

Yes, she is Teresa Hoffman. Probably you know her in connection with the History Club. She did some splendid work, there, and you doubtless!} ' discovered the remark- able energy and perseverance behind her manner of gentle simplicity. Probably you know her from seeing her at so many St. Joseph ' s social functions. If you have been a faithful attendant, yourself, you certainly must be well acquainted with her. The remarkable part of it all is, that Teresa finds time to share some of her cheerfulness and perennial good spirits with others — this via the Social Service Club. Her classmates benefited by her happy disposition, also, for she was always to be depended upon to help in any situation, whether it were giving sage advice, imparting sound information or simply lending a sympathetic ear to one ' s woes. Besides all these laudable things that Teresa is, she is a few more. Sincere and unaffected are not the least notable. We make a guess — a good one, too — that this is why she is so universally well-liked. Thirty F O O T P R I N T S Peaceful my life Unbroken by the tenor of my ways. OURING our college days we have seldom, if ever, seen Grace when she was not busy at something. No problem was cast aside. This efficiency was of incalculable value to her classmates who profited greatly by her assistance throughout the four years. Always willing to help on some committee, to serve it faithfully, to offer worthwhile suggestions, she became absolutely indispensable. The ( ' .lee Club will always remember her as one of the Three Maidens in Japonette. She has served on the Honor System Committee and the Attendance Committee, which is sufficient proof of her fairness of mind and her sympathetic understanding. With these attributes and with those that have shown us she is capable of writing an excellent story, ( ' .race would not surprise us a bit by becom- ing a novelist — and a good one, too. Perseverance and sincerity will reward her wherever the force of endeavor leads her. It is with deepest regret that we part with a classmate who has meant so much t us and who has dune so much for us. Thirty One F O O T P R I N T S Joys of life sold to me For the price of laughter. a QUICK, jolly laugh — a cross between a giggle and a chuckle — a number of hilarious echoes, and you know Gertrude is relating some adventure to a group of friends. Even if the adventure is one in which others would consider themselves deeplv aggrieved, Gert can always see something funny in it, and with- out trying, can make others realize the humor, too. We don ' t think we can ever remember Gertrude consciously striving to make friends. ( Hhers seek her. She goes merrily on, smiling, dancing, helping, caring not a jot whether she is liked or disliked, and consequently, a host, half envious of, half admiring this independence, follow that they may learn the secret of such freedom. Gertrude has spent a great deal of time and energy in the interest of St. Joseph ' s social activities. There was the Junior Prom, the Spring Dance of [928 and the Senior Prom — all successes- -and she served on the committee of each. In class parties, too, she was always ready to help whether it meant taking part in the entertainment or doing kitchen duty. In scholarship also, Gertrude has more than held her own. And, further- more, we have never heard her utter any complaint anent the injustice of this Prof or the prejudice of the next. She has too many pleasant things to say. Always happy, always interested, always impartial. Gertrude has been, and undoubtedly will continue to be, one of the most popular members of ' 29. Thirty Tieo F O O T P R I N T S CT HCL, v - J Infinite riches in it little room. rTjEE LUCY! That is what we ' ve always called her and her somewhat-less- VJ_y than-five-feet has quite warranted it. But if Lucy ' s height were measured by the force and energy within her, she would be yards tall. Her determination, strength of purpose and quiet efficiency just couldn ' t stay hidden, and the class- mates who had formerly accepted her simply as a good student and a cheerful comrade, manifested their recognition of her ability by electing her senior Class Treasurer. Fearlessly, she tracked the elusive dues; relentlessly she pursued their still more elusive possessors; skilfully she cornered, conquered and collected. Every committee, no matter how disagreeable its task, counted her presence a necessity. As a member of the Honor System Committee and finally as its chairman, she greatly advanced the success of the system in the college. As a member of various refreshment and entertainment committees, she greatly ad- vanced the spirit of good fellowship in the class. Can Lucy manage a group — and a large group- of students? Most certain- ly! Her size is no obstacle. After watching her give a lesson in French, we could think of nothing but, Well, Napoleon was small, too. We cite an incident as an example of Lucy ' s generosity and thoughtfulness in which she came all the way from Coney Island on a particularly cold day just to bring notes to a classmate who was frantically preparing for an examination. Possessed of such traits, Lucy will always he remembered not as ' 29 ' s small- est member, but as one of its biggest. thirty Three F O O T P R I N T S LWVarit C-. c Vccrfan ' Happiness is no other. than soundness and perfection of mind.

No one can ever remember having seen Marie warming library chairs or hidden behind volumes. Yet often have the results of her exams been enviable. The only solution is that this young lady has come by the rare intellectual inheri- tance that Irish ancestry endows. Everyone is acquainted with Marie ' s genial- disposition and she has given much time to social intercourse. This is an amazing fact considering her re- ticence in the presence of those outside her chosen circle. The math department has been given the more actual proof of her mental vigor. With precise wielding of the pencil and chalk, there gradually evolve gems of accuracy and analysis. Marie shows her preference for the mure jovial companionships. Time and again the corridors re-echoed the jolly spirit of Marie and her Merrymen. When in after years we might have cause to return to these familiar places, it will seem that somewhere, ' round the corners or out from nooks there will any moment peal the long laughter of her happy group. Disinterested in all, yet interested in each where need be, she has shown a class loyalty where and when it has most greatly been needed. Twenty-nine knows that she responds quickly in emergencies; judges others less quickly than she seeks their friendship ; thinks as quickly as she blushes.

A remarkable mind lies within her well-poised head. Her titian hair, her muck- of thinking, her responses have been direct claims to distinction. Many like to call her paradox. And we can easily assent to the term. With nonchalance and great calm she has ignored, seemingly, those scholastic devoirs irksome to the rest of us. Yet, again, she has risen with the finest ' of scholarl) endeavor in classes where problems are problems. ccasionally she has given ib glimpses of her soul through the poet sensitivity that is divinely hers. Her tastes broaden to the cultural and philosophical. The Mercier Circle, the philosophy unit of the College, found in her a most capable directress for its thoughtful projects. She has left indelible what she has done in her brief colleg- iate dramatic career. Her membership in the Social Service group, and her work in the Literary Society, of which she was wisely chosen President during her Senior year, are further instances of her many interests. We salute one who caused us first to notice, then to admire, and then to understand. Thirty Five F O o T P R I N T S c illiaH llJ . cA.raw 0 ' Be swift to beax, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

Lillian ' s capability and efficiency were demonstrated in Senior year by the responsible manner in which she disposed of her duties as Chairman of the Point System Committee.

We know principally the lithe Pierrot and the world-worn Kitty Give. About this work Eileen centered her interests throughout her college life, as one must, to do a thing so well. In scholastic work, especially the kind in which most of us thought it fair to complain, Eileen made an enviable record. To this scholarly disposition, we may acid to this account, a thoroughly social one, evidenced by Eileen ' s sure attendance wherever that interesting phase of activity was in vogue. Her held of activity broadened with the advance of her years among us, so that Senior year found her an efficient member of the always important Senior Prom Committee. Respect for her efforts and achievements in artistic endeavor brought her to the lead in that field as president of the Dramatic Society. Twenty- nine placed upon her the responsibility of arranging its Senior Week program, confident of her success of that direction, and added to that week ' s laurels the choice of her as Valedictorian. Ever in our minds will be associated with make-up kit and masque her tall dark gracefulness. Ever will we recall her rare linguistic talent and bold in ad- miration this gifted one on ' _ s roll-call.

One could and would go on indefinitely extolling the virtues of Mary if one didn ' t know that she would be in an agony of embarrassment before the eulogy ended. This little lady (she thinks she is tall, but isn ' t) besides being one of ' 29 ' s youngest (she thinks she looks old. but doesn ' t) is also one of its brightest mem- bers. In English, particularly, does she shine. Having been elected to L )RIA in her Freshman year, Mary has consistently contributed articles of a literary merit unattainable by anyone with a less exquisitely developed word-sense. Many a person has laughed long over — and often, long after — a subtle wit- ticism of Miss Mary, and conversely, few can comprehend and appreciate a bon mot so readily. She attacks every problem with whole-hearted earnestness and the result is always a work of art whether it be a philosophical thesis or her interpretation of the dramatic role, hours slowly passing by. Mary is as loyal to her ideals as she is to her friends. You can judge how those ideals are cherished. Whatever she does is characterized by a sincerity tacitly recognized by both Faculty and classmates. Add to this an innate courtesy that makes her more than considerate of others, a delicate sympathy and a tender understanding, and you have one of ' 29 ' s aristocrat--. Her classmates will always remember this charming comrade, this quiet helper, this true scholar, this — Mary Loftus. Thirty Eight F O O T P R I N T S efforence CWV.

No matter what the task to be done, one can always depend upon her to offer her assistance. And what an assistance it is! Besides being a most efficient worker, Florence has a cheerfulness so contagious that she makes others feel that the work isn ' t so terrible after all and in a little while they are positively enjoying it. This girl can do almost anything, from painting sanctum furniture to decorating a room; from serving on entertainment committees to cooking — ah, to cooking! Florence knows the kind of appetite her classmates have and she has mastered the art of the kitchen. Through her ability in planning, we could partake of quantity, quality and variety in spite of our meager financial budget. The Senior Class has appetites that require expert catering and Florence ' s feasts came up to the fastidious requirements of a very critical clientele. No one suspected that Florence had such a charming voice until the Glee Club made known to us this gift. First, as a member of the chorus, and later, as a soloist, Florence entertained many a delighted audience. As an officer of the so- ciety in Junior year, she helped to make its productions the successes they were Florence managed to find time to devote to athletics, however, and as a guard of ' 29 ' s winning class team she proved an inestimable advantage.

Those who have won Helen ' s friendship, sense in it those rare qualities of openness, fineness and reticent tenderness so fre- quently associated with the frienship of boys. Naturally, possessing such qualities, Helen -has a sportswoman ' s love of sports. For two years, she played on ' 2c s class team. Then came promotion to the Varsity basketball squad where she showed her versatility by tilling the place of both guard and side-center with equal skill. Her capable leadership was recognized by the student body when it elected her Chairman of Field Day in Junior year, and in Senior year, President of the Athletic Association. She has cooperated whole-heartedly in social affairs also. As a member of the Senior Week Committee, she did much to make that unforgettable span such a happy one. This cooperation was carried over to her ready support of the Glee Club. Helen ' s sincerity and humor have made her a charming companion. She is truly the life of the party.

The completest answer would begin on the first day. With characteristic insight into genuine worth, our Freshman Class elected Frances E. McGuire, Secretary. For four years she proved herself to be the most pleasing combination of efficiency and artistry that is ever found in secretaries. Everywhere is evidence of Frankie. This evidence evolved originally from the fact that Frankie has that rare vision to conceive, understanding intellect t direct and surpassing ability to execute. Her transformation of one reception room into an Autumn phantasy of leaves for .Mothers ' Day — her finesse and facil- ity in the use of her pen as associate editor of Loria, her inordinate amount of sewing, her clever posters, her management of the college financial accounts, all bear indelibly on them the mark of an artist ' s finished workmanship. The im- portant committees were never complete with nit Frankie. A member of both the funior and Senior Prom committees, her tact, discrimination, good judgment. business ability and social capacity contributed enormously to their success. Had you seen Peg Woffmgton — you would have seen the one that our futile winds cannot paint for you — one who had snatched a grace beyond the limits of all arts, and in her every delicate gesture, intonation, movement — gave that grace to us in her impersonation. in Junior year, Frances earned her membership to the Mercier Circle. Our memories of that are precious. We remember one sacred moment in which we heard what is called too prosaically My Philosophy of Life. We listened — on the edge of another world — a northern wind blew. That moment will be ours, never to relinquish, to have ami to hold. Forty One F O O T P R I N T S CVWifW8 (2.

We know that she has a humor of delightful quality. We know, too, that she is companionable to a charming degree.

We are con- vinced that her reticence is the more priceless since she apparently thinks while she does not speak. Have you ever found her without words when the moment demanded them? Mildred ' s choice of quiet and fine tastes was best displayed in her interest in the ( dee Club, whither all music lovers wend their steps and direct their talents.

' £C I ERE must have begun, way back somewhere in Agnes ' family tree, the X early seeds of what in her is a profound proclivity for precision. No one among us ever asked her what she could do best or what she chose to follow. With only a guess, everyone was correct the first time. Her exactitude is not pigeon-holed in one field. Everything that is part of her personality or activity scintillates with it, from her capable work on the l [onor System Committee to the skilful wielding of her sewing needle. A famous psychologist claims that a true mathematician is capable of being a musician. Agnes is a true mathematician. Add to this aesthetic disposition that she is also a very successful gardener. We, never having known the pleasure of her music, cannot remember her as a musician. Nor can we recall her bending over flowerbeds, or in domestic pur- suit.

In some such fashion, Margaret has checked up on the professors ' proficiency from time to time. Yet no one could answer so many questions of facts with the astounding display of general knowl- edge as she. This beautifully proves the point that the questioning mind is nut the empty mind. The seriousness under Marge ' s jocose and ever-ready responses, whether in or outside of class, is arresting. Her dissertations on any subject, especially his- tory, are unforgettably complete and show absorption from natural interest and appetite for knowledge rather than from ordinary cramming. In the capacity of student, Magaret ranks high. With little difficulty, she has shortened her college work by a semester and the quality of it has not been in the least impaired.

With the self-dependability of the mathematician, she has found little need for intimate friendships. Yet with her friendly and responsive manner, she has barred no acquaintance. Her lield of endeavor and accomplishment is, outstandingly, mathematics. We feel certain that this girl eats magnitudes, drinks logs and dreams equations. Her facility in mathematical treatment pustulates nut only background but also grasp. The Abacus gave her opportunity for the expression of her thorough mathematical interest and later for her capable chairmanship. In llnniira ' s deeps, clear eyes, one reads the keen scrutiny with which she seizes upon a problem and sees it through. )ne feels that she reduces humans to such solution, having learned by her scientific training to introduce no false or un- necessary material into an analysis, to match identities and to be unsatisfied with incorrect results.

Cer- VXx tainly, no one, for in their sparkle and brightness we read a flat denial of the demureness and shyness which everyone thinks is all that is Agnes until her eyes laugh a contradiction. She came to St. Joseph ' s a quiet and rather subdued young thing. However, after a year or two of higher education, a remarkable metamorphosis took place and now Vgnes is a finished product of charm and poise. There is a certain quiet joyousness about her, a vivacity, not to be confused with agitated restlessness, which both stimulates and soothes. As a result, her activity is entirely unobtrusive, of a sorl that makes a person first aware of its existence only after the end has been achieved. We have benefitted by this ac- tivity many times and in diverse ways. Agnes is indeed a happy young lady. She seems so shy and demure that we love her for her sweetness, and then we needs must love her all over again when we learn how truly gay is her company, delightful her friendship, and sincere her understanding.

In the parties which fol- lowed our arrival, we found Margaret a very merry Miss, who would entertain, serve, or assist in preparations with equal eagerness. We learned, too, that her vivacity was but a manifestation of the lively interest which Peg has in life gener- ally — in study, in official duties and in diversions. Her record is ample evidence.

As a freshman, we first turned our attention on her as an athlete, particularly as a member of the unconquerable class team of ' 2y. Then, again, we were thrill- ed with her display of prowess in held day activities. The end of her first year among us found her foremost in scholastic achievement. In sophomore year she attained admission to the Merrier Circle, a mark of scholastic status in the College. Once more, she crowned her academic work with the highest award, to no great surprise for ib. From the fields of mental and physical activities, to something entirely dif- ferent, she directed her junior year. The clerical responsibilities of the student body awaited a competent manager. By popular vote, Virginia was elected to this capacity.. Her natural efficiency and thoroughness came commendably to the fore ' - This gave a third and interesting angle to this young lady. Once more her de- pendability had been discovered; an important work was entrusted to her in the chairmanship of Alumnae Day. No, we had not been mistaken as we have never been mistaken when Virginia Quinn was given a particular task to perform. Senior year always finds the problem of filling the vacancy of the U.

' W E ALL met Irene before she met us. The New York dailies were the med- ium. We were very definitely informed that this national orator and equal- ly accomplished dancer would join the Freshmen at Saint Joseph ' s the ensuing Fall. Well, of all queer celebrities, she was the queerest. Among seventy of the army of the great unsung, the distinguished member was not distinguishable. We saw no crown. We saw no dignity. But we did see Irene Roth. As acquaintance took root, Irene became a compact body of perpetual activ- ity. In dramatics, who can forget her Judas? In athletics, main ' s the day that Irene left the ground more than four feet below her, and Twenty-nine still throws her chest out about it. She rolls up a basketball score as easily as she rolls her eyes. Loria won her service until other activities forced her to relin- quish. Three of her four years at school knew the burden of presidential duties, cameo-like in their execution. In between things, no parly was complete if Irene did not tap-dance or otherwise. History classes would have been mellow without her, as class meetings were parliamentary gems with her. And now, we look back upon our rising. Stealing through the winding vista of a cycle just closed, stark shadows slink along and droop, but one. slightly breathless, stays one. Life has tried to tell her worth in gold and silver trophy. We, in the sense of reality, place but a laurel leaf. She has won because she did not trv to win. Fifty Two F O O T P R I N T S To you ;. ill beh ng Heard music of an invisible throng.

Her individuality, fittingly, first finds expression in art. )ur sanctum, our Mission Day booths, and our luncheons were all testimonials to her talent. In dramatics, Louise revealed her personality in another way. Her creative ability and quiet enthusiasm delighted many an audience. Social functions were enhanced by her presence and aided by her support. When the February class elected her President in their first term, they did well, for Louise ' s efforts contributed to the enjoyment of an eventful Freshman year.

Cattie holds the Tennis medal from her Freshman year when she bore off first honors in that sport. For two years the Varsity has been graced with the quick-as-a-flash swift-as-lightn- ing playing of this capable center. Then there is the social side to Cattie. Her thoroughness and efficiency was recognized and called into play when she became a member of the Senior Prom Committee. Child of moods, now gay, now serious, now righteously indignant, now beau- tifully tender, she has given her enthusiasm and effort to her Alma Mater and lively interest to her class.

Her portrayal spirited, gallic, of one of Moliere ' s characters is evidence of her proficiency as a linguist and an actress. During Junior Week she entertained Us by acting the title role in The Maker of Dreams. Since Catherine ' s views coincide so well with those of this character, her very clever impersonation owed its success, in part, to her pro- jection of her personality. The same persuasive mode of speech, the dramatic flourishes, the energetic determination accompanied by winning smile, that made Pierrot buy his beautiful dreams, have made us want to try to buy some of Catherine ' s.

Still she is thoroughly one of us — so much so, that to have any social event, whether it be a tea or a dance, without Mary would be an impossibility. Mary would he an ideal hostess. We decided that ages ago. Anyone with a voice so low and richly melodious could make her guests want to stay indefinitely, just to listen to her talk. ( r she could be a lecturer. With such a voice, she could convince the most obstinate audience in the world of almost anything. Though quiet and calm, Mary can defend her convictions with an unusual de- termination and force. When justice or fair play needs a champion, she enters the cause whole-heartedly. Yet, Mary is not all seriousness. In her lighter, mure carefree moments, she exhibits a delightful humor that carries itself irresistalby In all near her. Her outbursts of childish glee seem contradictions to her deep appreciation of the mystic and beautiful in poetry.

The next year, when a Sophomore — dignified and competent — was needed, Eleanor rose to the occasion and became an efficient member of the hazing committee.

Her election to the ! ;i idency of the February class of ' 29 gives only a fair idea of the esteem she enjoyed. We shall always associate Katherine with our most pleasant remem- brances of Saint Joseph ' s.

Curly hair and a boyish swagger, an athletic bent and _ a feminine bashfulness — all this Grace Weglein ! Grace first attracted us in Freshman year when a delighted chortle was her ill-suppressed reaction to the amazing outcomes of her Chemistry experiments. We found this laugh apprecia- tive — in more respects than one. ( ur own difficulties were often relieved by our comrade ' s contagious amusement and we could turn to Grace for assistance with no fear of rejection. It was not long before we found that combination of boyishness and feminity which characterizes her. The low, tremulous voice and faint blush went oddly with a school-boy swagger and athletic garb — but we found the mixture richer than either igredient alone. There resulted firmness and an essential consistency which manifested itself in Grace ' s activities. Athletically, she is versatile and enthusiastic. Swimming, skating, tennis, handball and basketball claim her at- tention and each in its turn her devotion. Contrariwise, she fulfilled with equal eagerness her duties as President of the Apostleship of Study.

When we watched her in Freshman Year on the basketball court, we predicted that she would jump to fame, and sure enough she did ' —literally and figuratively. She played the position of Center on the Vasity Barsketball Squad for the four years of her college course, and here she was given ample opportunity to display her unsur- pa -id sense of fairness. Her classmates showed their faith in her by electing her to serve as the class representative in the Student Council of which she was a member for three years. Her team-mates showed their appreciation of her by electing her captain of the Varsity in one of its must successful seasons. And still she found time during all four years to serve capably on the various com- mittees that were responsible for our social successes. Despite this busy career of executive duties and athletic activity, Marg has managed to retain the quiet, reserved charm with which she entered our ranks four years ago. A true friend, a good sport — we know that we shall be proud in later years to claim her as a classmate. Sixty Three F O O T P R I N T S Sixty Four F O Qood Ship Twenty-nine ? R I N V | 7 S KT ME tell you the tale of the magic ship ' Twenty-nine that put out to T 1_A sea four years ago in nunian reckoning, but four strokes of a fairy wand S tor us. Skipper Bett banded us together, a motley crew; distributed duties with a firm hand; then with one stein command, we set outward venturesomely, our cutwater piercing the silver mist that lay on the day just horn. We were proud of -nine new feeling, proud of our unreined venture, proud of our sea and of our ship, its copper sides weathering green and its decks golden in the sunburst. Suddenly, the midshipman called all to deck. Trespassers! Who would have guessed? Nay, truly, ' twas no phantom. The smudge on the horizon grew to shape. A ship! Aye, and bobbing over the waves toward us! Have no fear. the Skipper interposed. They are friends. See! A blue and grey remnant someone waxes. One friendly voice rant; out, Sisters of the sea, welcome! We have come to ask you to share our merry-making, that we may know you; and more, that we may warn you of the whirlpools and sandbars out yonder and give iui guidance. Then followed one round of joviality. We grew stronger, not with the foolish courage as before, but with a courage horn of wisdom. Then, at parting, they assured us, Constantly, we ply these waters. If in distress, send us message bv the sea fowl and we will come. We were glad that ours was not the only ship upon the sea. Presently, sails appeared out there where sea and sky kissed. Pirates! Pi- rates! Yes, here was one of the pitfalls. Steadily they approached and carried aloft a chalky skull. Before we could seek Eor aid a maddening crew scaled our vessel. Glistening swords swished in blustering rage. Black boots and scarlet shirts were everywhere, red for blond and black for death ! We. trembling things, gladly would have sought a watery death. But bloodthirsty fists held us close to the flours of the deck, demanding service, reverence, respect! Dark night of ter- ror! Nor moon nor stars were there. All was black stillness save for the lap of the waves and the intermittent flap, flap of the sails. With the cold grey dawn, the gritting clinking of the chains told of stealthy manoeuvering of our imposing visitors. Their schooner had kept sentinel by ours through the night. Someone gave a signal. The pirates sprang into riotous response as the jungle beasts are startled to wakening by the first rays of the sun. Under blindfold, we were transferred to the other ship amid the jibes and laughter of our annoy- ing captors. Then, down, down, we went unendingly groping. A sudden halt, a burst of sung and our eyes were uncovered to a delectable feast. ' Twas all a make-believe. And this sea was the Sea of Goodfellowship, and the se were all good fellows. In the midst of the jollity, their leader rose and told us the pur- pose of it all; that it was the tradition of these waters that new farers might be prepared ' gainst later danger and rouse themselves from serene self-satisfac- tion to the uncertainty of the future, then tire their own ambitions to conquest. When you have reached those narrows ten knots north, another ship will have Sixty Five F O I The Qood Ship Twenty-nine R I N begun its cruise in this little world. It is for you to head southward and minister S to them this same initiation, that they may be experienced brothers of the sea. So we parted. Alone once more, we retired to our cabins. As the twilight dusk- ened blue, we huddled together, a little happy at our findings, a little tremulous at the closeness of the morrow. Happily we ' ll tell you of the cycle that ensued. How we visited the Port of Merriment and met again so many of our jolly seafellows, where we spent in gaietv those fleeting moments. Then, onward we passed to the Port of Prow- ess, where every seafarer of skill stops to match his strength against the others in contest. We raised anchor to retake our voyage, second best in conquest, yielding first place to those who played piracy so skilfully. Between these landing places the storms were many. And nights were long and cold while we concentrated on more serious duties. We bucked the tide and bested the hurricane. One fine day we were instructed to make our way to a wharf known as the Port of Fare- wells. There we bade goodbye to the crew of the good ship Twenty-six. We knew not why nor asked where they were g oing. It did not seem that anyone should leave this little world. And, least of all, that ever we should have to go. ( ur Skipper reminded us that we were now approaching the narrows and there thus rested on us a duty to perform. We turned our gaze backwards, and there, truly, was the new and modest little ship, all gold and blue. Confidently and calmly it drifted along. We turned our course thither to apply the lesson .of the seas. We met the crew of Thirty harshly and left them happily to ply their own fortune as we did ours. The goddess wand stroked slowly backward, we passed through the narrows to the calm blue-green seas beyond, a second cycle begun. This brief cycle brought to us many jolly days and as many stormy ones. We visited several ports, being guests and hosts in turn. Rut this time, when we came to the Port of Prowess, we carried off the trophy. Once again we .were sum- moned to the Port of Farewells. Twenty-seven was now saying goodbye and the idea was taking firmer grasp on us. Looking back we saw another stranger enter, boasting the colors blue and grey, those of our sisters just about to depart. We understand ! As one leaves another comes and the younger ascend to take the elders ' places. We adopted the little newcomers as our sisters, having just be- come sisterless ourselves with the departure of Twenty-seven. For the third time, the wand passed over us. We entered upon a sea calm as any ever was. The sun hung high in the heavens that day. We cruised along this entire cycle, an unrippled water. A period of festivity was granted Twenty- nine and her little crew. Seaman Murphy, who well knew the ports about the shores, was chosen to select where we might dine and where we might make merry. Mate Fitzgerald was made host of the final night whereon we and all our companions of the sea might dance and frolic in due gaiety. Our hearts mounted with delight. Our minds broke free and springing upward mingled with Sixty Six F O Qood Ship Twenty-nine ? R I N the clouds in wild phantasy. We were the toast of the seas that night. We trod T heedlessl) on the fringes of the departing darkness. Then came the new day, S sadder than we knew. Then, for the third time we drew up to the Port of Fare- well-. With heavier heart- we saw the crew of Twenty-eight take a sad fare- well. Due north they resumed their course nor turned they back even once, un- til their vessel passed through wide-flung gates to a mossy quay and there cast anchor. We watched them one by one disembark, indistinct shadows in the bleak, grey distance. In ominous silence we watched the abandoned schooner, with its little red and black emblem waving on it- -tern, blend with the horizon. Midshipman Roth of our earlier sea life had, during our career, become our skipper. That is the Tort of Reality. she said. Shortly we, too, will have to abandon our ship there. The realization was sudden. We resolved to set about our last cycle seriously. ( nce and for the last time the wand was swung over us. Thirty-two made her way among us as the fourth ship of our little sea. We were the next to go! With the heaviness of the truth that our career was so near its end, we entered into the new happenings of this last lap with tenacity. ( nce more we made the round of the ports. Once more we were to be the toast. Our shipmate Cunningham was hostess for that night of nights when everyone danced in honor of Twenty-nine. Queen of the Seas. .Never was the tide so high. Never was the moon so full. Never was the sky so lacy with stars. At times it seemed that we were on a wave-crest sixty feet above the surface, and then dipped down again. The shadow- of the retreating night grew small against the dawn in the east. The morrow was come too soon. Then, a few duties performed, a few preparations completed, and the end was at hand. We bade our fellow seafarers goodbye and steadied our course notli- ward alone. The gates were passed and the Port reached. Sadly, slowly, tear- fully, we came on quay. When the last bad left, the old schooner magically con- tinued onward, as a spirit moving into the past. We watch longingly the old vessel with her copper sides weathered green and her decks polished with star- dust and her rigging fashioned from rainbows! Ship of our dream life, sail on! Keep safe within your chests our dreams, that reality may never know them to mock. Keep them till that day come when we, world-worn, may turn to the memories of fervent youth. Then once again we ' ll sail you in fond memory. Thu- we stand. Nor words among us pass; but all around one tight hand- clasp and heart to heart farewell exchange. The sky is black-blue.

R I N BFTER two vcars of delightful and wholesome college life, the class of ' 30, T much hroadened by its scholastic and social contacts, entered its Junior S year under the leadership of the officers, Catherine Fournier, Sarah Crowley, Anne Dolan and Norma Kelly. Eagerly it looked forward to another year of intellectual advancement and of service in various fields, a year of social events winch are the peculiar privilege of the Junior class. Having completed many of the required courses, so often a source of worry, we tackled our studies with much more zeal and interest than we had heretofore manifested. We were determined to make this year yet more worthy than the last. Study clubs claimed the attention of a number of our members, whose earn- est effort- helped extend the work of these ambitious groups. We took the ad- vantage offered us through the Forum, of expressing constructive ideas for the welfare of the College. JFor many, the newly formed Social Service Group was a source of interest. Some served by leaching religion to children in the poorer section of tlie City, and others, by directing recreative activities in the Catholic Settlement House. In spite of these various activities, our interest in social affairs was in no way decreased hut seemed to be greatly strengthened, for we firmly believe that a happy life is a combination of work and play. And so we did both to perfection. Our social program was initiated with the Junior-Freshman luncheon which was as much a pleasure to us as it -was to the recipients. Being the first to welcome the Freshmen was indeed thrilling. In its turn, our little Sister Class treated us to a happy, friendly evening at the Freshman-Junior party. Then there were parlies with other classes and a tea in honor of our class Advisor. All of these, together with the first wearing of our College rings, are as so many links in our chain of Junior happiness. Perhaps the strongest link in this chain is the Junior Prom which came as the climax to a most thrilling and exciting week. That night of February eighth, when the class of Thirty, to the strains of stirring music, promenaded in the I ' ark Central, is a never-to-be-forgotten one in the memory of our good times at Saint Joseph ' s. e had li oked forw ard to both.Junior Week and the Junior Prom for a long time, and the enjoyment of both exceeded even our anticipation. The success of these affairs is due to the ability and zeal of Zita Hawkins, Chairman of Junior Week, and Genevieve Archipoli, Junior Prom Chairman, as well as to the hard work of the committee in charge of the events. After leading the processional and turning our tassels on Commencement night, our Junior year will he over, and with many pleasant memories of the past, we shall take our places as Seniors of Saint [oseph ' s College. — Jeannette P. Hannan. ' 30. Sixty Nine F O O T P R T N T S Seventy History of the Class of ' 31 LOW L , one by one. the tassels were turned and amidst the fitting ' solemnity oi Commencement night, a Freshman class was invested with the new dignity oi the term Sophomore. Could it possibly be true that our Freshman gaucherie had now evolved into the dignity of the Sophomore estate and that the delightful novelty of college, so frankly admitted in Freshman year was now trans- formed into Sophomore omniscience? The significant turn of the tas- sels gravely assented: Freshmen we were no longer and with the char- acteristic impatience of youth, we Hung this paradoxical memory into the dimness of the past and turned with eager eyes to our Sophomore year of the near future. With a spirit which seemed determined to make up for our four month ' s absence, our lile at St. Joseph ' s was resumed. With several necessary queries and directions we set out on a hunt for new lockers. We bestowed a good share of our attentions and speculations on the rapidlv developing outlines of the new building and the various plans which attended its completion. The hum of social life was begun with c t as our names increased the membership roll of the various societies. We discovered in the course of events, that Sophomore life carried with it new responsibilities and the predominant consideration to our minds was the not altogether unpleasant task of fitting the Freshmen for a deserved participation in college life — at least, that was the primary purpose which we rather vaguely established as the aim of the initiation. Equipped with very definite memories of a similar experience of our own, we set about the matter with almost as much experience as we had zeal, and with Amy Fraas as our chairman, experienced little difficulty in forming, rejecting and revising the methods by which this aim could lie effectively fulfilled. From this indefinite mass of plans, there slowly evolved a final ideal plan of campaign — an initiation costume which in it- self would subtly infuse humility into the Freshman heart, and quite a number of the ideas as to the occupation of our proteges during the three days of initiation. The entire hazing period constituted for us a con- stant struggle to preserve our haughty demeanor against the inroads of the Freshman powers of amusement and more than once our lofty at- tempts in instructing the Freshmen as to the proper reverence for upper classmen were interrupted by our inability to gaze upon our handiwork with a sufficient amount of self-possession. There were many other delightful chapters in our history — chapters in which the party given us by the Freshmen, our party held in honor of tin- Seniors, our class day and other equally happy occasions, played a very important part. When we shall look back upon this year and demand of it. as outh, ever niggardly with time, must demand, what fruits it has borne, then and not until then shall we realize with what labor and perseverance this second year at St. Joseph ' s has incorporated the foundation laid in the Freshman year into the slow building of that edifice which will one day ' r,.i..„„ -Mary A.

R I N QERHAPS you know us ;i the grotesque figures flapping about the halls in T the remarkably uncollegiate attire which only an almost inhuman hazing S committee could have conceived. If so, then you know us in our worse moments, when visions of dire vengeance on unsuspecting Sophomores clouded our other- wise sane and normal minds. And that will never do. So — We are the Freshmen. As such, we are placed in a happier position than an ither class in the College. We can anticipate hours of happiness, line friend- hips, three more years of education and inspiration guided by the members of the Faculty. Our social life began at once with the luncheon tendered us by the Juniors In an effort to show our sister class our appreciation and perhaps to return in small measure a little of the pleasure they gave us, we entertained them at lea. The Sophomores greeted us in quite another way. A letter, disclosing to us our lia e ignorance, lack of wit and understanding of the finer things of life, made us realize that for three days we were to lie at the command of the class of ' 31. Thev dressed us like a stampede of nightmares and hazed us within an inch of our lives. However, even though with fear and trembling we hung on every word which dropped from the august Sophomore lips, we did enjoy ourselves. When yeast and warm red Mood (Castoria, to he exact) failed to daunt us, the Sophomores must have given up. After the ordeal of public hazing, our in- quisitors, who, I fear, had more trouble than we in maintaining a dignified as- pect, freed us from bondage and celebrated that emancipation with a party no Freshman could ever forget. In our own class, the acquaintanceship of an unassorted group of newcomer-. has developed into firm and lasting friendships. Though we scarcely knew our officers when we elected them, we did not err in our choice. Eleanor Hennessey, Marie Sabbatino, Kay Ansbro and Kay Victory have proved worthy leaders of ' 32. And now, at it-, close we review our Freshman year, our initiation into col- lege life, our parties, our first clas day, with happy regard. For the future, we anticipate new contacts, broader experiences, but we know we can never forget our eventful first year at Saint Joseph ' s. - Laura A. Fournier, ' 32.

Through the T y mists of glamour and idealism loom the hazy forms of magic towers and S radiant minarets. The Caerleon of pur youthful quest assumes definite shape and vanishes even while we gaze. Commencement Day presents to us the fruition of dreams and endeavor and the stern grimness of reality. Behind us are weary days and long striving. Behind us are faces of friends and happy memories. Graduation in 1929 marks for us the attainment of a goal but it has a larger significance this year for it marks the close of an epoch in the annals of Saint [oseph ' s College for Women and the Commencement of a larger life. Four years ago. when we entered the ranks of students, we learned the his- tory and traditions of the pioneers who had gone before us. Prophetic visions of an illustrious future were presented to us and we were dedicated to the greater life that lay ahead. A new collegiate experiment was in progress. Higher stan- dards were proposed and student self-government on the basis of personal honor was established. Modern equipment was provided and expansion and growth in spite of obstacles and difficulties were everywhere apparent. These four years were days ol progress for Saint Joseph ' s College. Re- sults proclaimed eloquently the wisdom and the energy of its officials. And in the year of its tenth Commencement, the College was admitted to the Associa- tion of Colleges of the Middle Atlantic States and Maryland, and to the Ameri- can Council of Education. In recognition of its scholastic standing, it received ,1 permanent Charter. A new building was erected with enlarged facilities and modern equipment. The close of tine present scholastic year witnesses the rea 1 - ization of all the objectives toward which we have struggled in these four event- ful years Xext Fall a very much larger entering class will be enrolled. In the past, the physical limitations of the College made it necessary to exclude many de- sirable students. Only those who could meet the rigid requirements of scholar- ship could enter. Now, with large numbers, the College may enter on a new era of accomplishment. For us who are leaving, the quest is over. We greet those who will come after us. We admire the advantages under which they will be able to work. We rejoice at the prospects of future classes. And yet we do not envy. We have ha i a privilege, an honor, that will endure. We have been among the first and have shared the task of establishment. — Mary Loftus, ' 29. Seventy Five F O o T P R I N T S Xjfe, He Kind to Her Life, be kind to her.

What is the purpose of this science which, self- S y confessedly, leads to no conclusions, lias no dogma with which to meet the eager questioner, but holds out an ever tantalizing gleam of truth? The end ,of this science seems to be so different from anything we have studied before. We hear its task is, not to discover physical facts, but to seek deep relationships, to look for the ultimate meaning behind all things. At first meeting, it seems to bring the promise of satisfaction: at last the straight road to order out of chaos It certainly seems to be coordinating si mething — perhaps a plan — for which we have been groping. We have lived only a vw years of life, but already exper- iences have been heaped up in alarming piles — piles, we begin to feel, that should even now be rising into orderly structures. Experience aid thoughts are the building stones, and some of them are chipped and marred by the impact of others that have been thrown on to the pile. Thus the clearness of some thought has been dulled or mutilated b) some experience that has seemed to contradict it. to nullify it- purpose and usurp its place. Yel these stones appear to us as if they must rit together in some splendid, lea lliful way, for some of them have been quarried out of the hardest things in life and polished with the pains of years. We have known the joy of youth, have felt death ' s grief; we have seen love and hate, gentle sweetness and high generosity, and side by side with them shameful pettiness and heedless cruelty. We have seen evil thrive an 1 good suffer low defeat. We have glimpsed some of the arts, and a science or two. We have grappled with the mysteries and wondered at the beauties of religion. All of these realities and ideas have been presented to us. In short, they are all a part of our own personal cosmos. Reason says they must have a relation to each other. And now, when we most feci the need of some wide, unifying science for this, even now, vast multitude of realities, philosophy comes to our hand. I have said that philosophy seems to promise satisfaction Jo the quest for unity and truth, but I know that there can be no satisfaction while we are where we are. The further along the road we go, the brighter seems the light and the more distant. We come. then, to a natural question. Is philosophy necessary to the human mind? An answer must be qualified, for we cannot cmc;ive of a child or a savage having any use for a philosophy. The child or the savage is not seeking ultimate principles, but is concerned witli the raw, physical aspect of things. Hut to the human being who has reached even some degree of menial deve ' opment has passed even a few steps beyond that stage where young hunger asks only for color and play and life — a philosophy then becomes imperative. The plan that must link all of these blocks together begins to be paramount. We search for it in the angles and the curious carvings on those stones. Perhaps we get some clue- and begin to build from file heap of experiences a foundation that we hope will last. ' ..-, . ' ,- v S ven Why Philosophy: ? F O O T P R I N T This, then, is true— even if no formal study of philosophy is ever made, man S finds or invents for himself some clue ,to his knowledge. The clue may even be tragic ally false and finally, through its weakness, allow this edifice of his life to fall tumbling to destruction. But still it is a little of that plan he has been seeking, and he is happy in its possession. Here, then, is a very real why for philosophy: it is a thing necessary to the human soul. When our mind has reached for philosophy then it has come of age and has begun its first real work. Philosoph) nffersus the plan of a plan — from it directly, we could never marshal those jumbled stones. But if we study philosophy hard enough, iwe can dig out the beginnings of the true plan. Then it may be that some day after we have toiled much and long, we may see risen from our chaotic pile of building stones some vast cathedral who ' se arches shall disappear in dim vaulting and misty heights; whose walls shall rise straight and swift, supported by the strong and graceful flying buttresses that the vears, and a greater knowledge of the plan, have added; and all surmounted, perhaps, by the lovely slpires that a hue and beautiful life have cast up to the heavens. For myself, I hope for no such beauty or majesty. 1 ask only that I may discover the Plan for some little Gothic chapel-- that 1 may fill it with the sweet incense of years, ennoble it with a humble loveliness, and then at last, when the colors of its windows flash with the rays of a dying sun, that 1 may seek sanc- tuary there and keep the tryst with Him Who made the Plan. — Catherine Fournier, ' 30.

It seemed to me like great achievement. And yet it was not. It was nothing. Strangle, von say — Achievement could be nothing. That dream was strange — but listen to ' t. My soul within me fell a wandrous love, and pondering It felt that the reception of its love would be but measured by the value of the proof. It therefore strove to make the proof a fitting one. It came then to the intellect and said. You must make a gift for me That never mortal made before, that I may give it to the one I love. Hearing, I obeyed — and seeing in my mind ' s eye a machine that would work wonders If J but had the secrets of its mechanism, I worked and labored, forgot all else but this.

When I had finished it I proudly gave it to the soul and waited. She returned all gloom and sad of face — He does not want it — He will not take my gift. But why? I asked — Because it was not new.

The eve following upward, thought the lien joined into one. It was a haze above, lit by a glorious, quiet sun — • As if it were the thought of man when hallowed by some great and sacred thing. And bath the soul and 1 stood by while He received it. the while we saw A fiery cloud descend, envelop the whole thing, and when it left. Showed nothing but a space where just before had been the work of countless years. Loud thunder followed its departure, then an awful silence, more threatening than the roar. That made one wish this silence would but cease. The cloud, now white appeared And wrote upon itself some words. It seems as if perhaps it spoke. I cannot 11070 remember which. It only seemed as if the silence broke And Someone said — 1 could have given all these to you, all wonders that are known . But only you can give yourself to Me.

' I hose echoes are the only vestiges of my far dream. There followed it another dream that tried to live. I: was such a one in which I, who ever since I can remember Wanted to slay young, now wanted to grow old — That looking back in retrospect on striving years, My failings would but spur me On, until I hail so worked That all my soul and intellect and all of me Was merged into one plan which tended to another plan. And I should see the merging of the two. ' Twos passing strange, my dream. —Elinor A. Parks, ' 29. Eighty Our F O O T P R I N T S Spring ' Night Turn the page cmd close the book. Dim the lamp and go to bed; Good-bye has long ago been said No need to pause at the foot of the stair. And think in the dark that someone is there, Nor peer at your face in the shadowy glass, Nor stare at the moonlight on the floor.

Twenty- I _ X nine, rather larger than most, lias produced several. Concealed in dark N corners, lurking along dim, shadowy halls, these stark, grotesque remains of class T foibles might rest forever in obscurity. S But custom has decreed that the orthodox family skeleton will one day be dragged forth into the light. In that event Twenty-nine ' s would be pitilessly scrutinized, their friendly grins misinterpreted. Some one would number them and conclude, erroneously, that the class must assuredly have been depraved. Family pride impels one at the risk of being called traitor by one ' s compeers, to forestall any future unjust exposure. Having thus been robbed of terror-in- spiring qualities by open discussion, our skeletons need fear nothing. At will they may roam the College halls, accost professor, returning alumna, and un- dergraduate alike. When we as a class are no more, any lapse in form, any unconventionally, however slight, will be the signal for the appearance of the tall, graceful skeleton of the girl who, feeling faint while in a French class, arose unsteadily and weaklv announced. J ' ai mal. Since this one will doubtless be seen daily, we hasten to describe several less precise, but none the less characteristic, members of Twenty-nine. Mere mention of the word rabbit will suffice to insure the immediate ar- rival of the Mood journalist whose plaltfdrm is, A pair of bunnies for every child. Her skeleton must stalk, too, when juvenile pranks are being discussed. Because she operated a mechanical toy rabbit in class she possesses the question- able honor of having been pronounced by the professor .perfectly suitable for admittance to a kindergarten. Another editor, businesslike on occasion, wrote during her college career countless poems and essays, variants of the theme ' Fantasy (or ' Phantasy ' ). When an eager public showed any indication of a desire for something new she bligingly offered a ' Fancy. ' In four years the fund of whimsical, fantastic. imaginative thought has keen reduced ,1 nit not exhausted. Wherever literary as- pirants gatherer in the College her skeleton will appear and, with imploring gestures, beseech that her work be continued, pledge to aid those who bear her standard. We feel confident that no other , class will outdo us in sophistication. One ot our number, apparently shy, rather naive in manner, made an all-inclusive study of villians. Her extra-curricular activity proved of scholastic value when a professor of English asked for comment on Shakespeare ' s, Othello. She as- serted, Of all the villains I have ever rnet 1 think lago is the worst. In such situations, where discrimination born of experience is needed, this skeleton will gladly give aid. In every class are to be found some for whom the small, usually automatic lift, reserved to resident professors and their guests, exerts an instant and last- ing appeal. Ours is no exception. Two venturesome skeletons will recount to posterity the method of escaping undetected from this carrier when two persons, members of the faculty, one on the third floor, the other on the first, are at- tempting to use it. If treated with the .consideration which is their due they may even reveal to worthy successors the secret of avoiding shock while per- forming unlawful but necessary operations on the electric switch, often tempera- mental in its functioning. Eighty I h i ee Skeletons of ' Nineteen Twenty-nine F O o T P R mentioned above. As a skeleton she will loiter in its vicinity awaiting the oppor- I tune moment, always denied her in life, to make the test. N Twenty-nine ' s philosopher has been eminently satisfactory to her class. T Others have criticized her lack of avoirdupois. It has been suggested by one S critic that she might pass with ease through the grilled safety-door of the lift mentioned above. As a skeleton she will loiter in its vicinity awaiting the op- portune moment, always denied her in life, to make the test. During Sophomore and Junior years the classmate whose long Titian hair constitutes one of her many claims to fame, wrote the usual number of examina- tions ; n approximately one-tenth of the usual time. To the bewilderment and consternation of the faculty, the envy of the students who observed her, she sel- dom remained longer than fifteen minutes of the time alloted. As a Senior she has, to our knowledge, endured four entire periods of examination. This year we lack our comfortable, silhouetted sanctum, the erstwhile favorite haunt of the girl in question. Since this is the only variable, we attribute her reform to the passing of the third floor front. She will be seen and heard as a skeleton only if an endeavor to equal her record is made. Nine exitra-curricular activity points, and social activity which, if given points, would far exceed the maximum, are carried with no obvious difficulty by a prominent comrade. To her the sanctum was a haven of rest, its passing a challenge as well as a sorrow. On a particularly trying day which followed an almost sleepless night, she and a drowsy ally uncovered amadequate substitute in the attic. No sanctum furniture can compare with the soft, yielding sofa stored there; no room is so free from intruders. No skeletons will prove so re- sourceful as those of the girls who made ' this discovery, and have dared to util- ize it. Ludicrous skeletons abound in this expose. The Junior so desirous of being on time for a philosophy lecture at eleven, that she bur sit precipitately into an ethics class at ten forty-five ; the class officer who, after emphasizing the need for more regular attendance at meetings and urging all to be present at a par- ticularly ' important one, completely forgot to ' appear; the girl whose brain be- came so addled in a psychology class that she admitted, under severe cross- examination, to the possession of two heads; the audacious one who told the prof he must be living in a trance; the student who ' answered laconically, It combusts when asked what occurs when sodium and water unite, are illustra- tive. Amateur theatricals are .responsible for three additional skeletons; the art- ist who cowered in the wings trying desperately to remember her lines when the programs announced that she was one of the characters in (a pantonine, the ill- assorted couple which formed the Highwayman ' s horse and so lacked coopera tion as to resemble respectively a camel ' s hump and a headless monster. With a number of yet unsung skeletons vainly shaking bony skulls in an attempt to attract our attention, or pointing scornful phalanges in our direction, we consider it only prudent to bring this quasi-chronicle to a close. May- our revelations escape the arranging hand of the skeleton who has so equitably ad- justed many of Twenty-nine ' s affairs. —Helen M. Sullivan, ' 20- Editor ' s Note — We cannot refrain from calling attention with an editorial rattle to the skeleton, too modest to declare herself, who glibly contributed from her store of chemical knowledge, in a philosophy elass, the information that phosphorus is safely preserved from doing damage of its own volition by keeping it submerged in kerosene.

Eighty Six The Seniors Repertory Theatre nIIH MEMBERS of tin.- class of ' 29 have banded together to form their V, V own Theatre Guild. They have a large and interested public whose de- mands have caused them to prepare an unusually large number of plays for pro- duction. It is a noteworthy fact that each member of the Guild is to be starred in a play. In some of the offerings the entire group appears; in others where an augmented cast is required, they call fur recruits from their friends among the Undergraduates.

What a vast difference between the words, one connoting S j hope, anticipation, enthusiasm, eagerness; the other, desires fulfilled or unfulfilled, i llusions builded or destroyed, sad longings, remorse, or in all too few- cases, peace wrought from an ideal reached through trials many and difficult. When we first hailed Saint Joseph ' s, our Ave was pregnant with dreams — dreams all roseate with the undimmed splendor of the tire of youth; dreams as bright and shining as the armor of some knight of old, only unlike that armor, they were dreams that often failed under the rapid shafts of seemingly insur- mountable difficulties and apparently endless tasks. But with the dauntlessness of youth we did not permit those dreams to die completely. We remodelled them. What does it matter that these fresh dreams in the remaking- had lost some of the glamorous romance of youth? They had gained in deep, rich meaning. No longer did we trip lightly across a path fraught with the flint-like stones of life ' s experiences. Our feet had touched the surface! This path was not all a light fairy pasture through which we could dance, heedless of the wrath of the jealous deities. Thi-- was the road of life which could not be trodden with carefree, lackadaisical step. It demanded a great measure of our unswerving attention. Then, after bitter refusals to recognize this, after surly denials and childish op- position and stubbornness, only then did the realization come that there was something worth while in this path of life. Before, we had been sailing along on light, silvery clouds, looking neither to light nor left, missing the brightest of stars. Just now did we snatch a glimpse. This was sufficient to instil in us a longing to reach the complete vision. But here we found that having been led to seek the star, we were left to find it alone. ( ur hearts turn with unfaltering sentiment to Saint Joseph ' s who has led us to such heights from whence to seek our heavenly fortune. She it is who has watched us through all our naive fancies and guided us to a realization of the meaning of life. It is not strange, then, that our hearts are sad when we bid her larewell. She has truly been our Alma Mater in guiding the faltering steps of youth seeking light. To her do we owe the moulding of our character in an important period of life. Let her efforts, therefore, be an inspiration to us to preserve and make a return truly worthy. At this happy vet sorrowful time our thoughts turn to our dear parents. They are the ones who have realized the necessity of religious influence in the life of the youth, and at the cost of many hitter sacrifices, have done everything possible to put us within the protecting circle of this influence. The)- felt that Saint foseph ' s would mean to us what the leafy plane tree means to the weary, sun-beaten traveller. It has been a refuge from a world overflowing with mater- ialistic ideas, a refuge where hopes may he builded and cherished and aspirations carried into fulfillment. Through her. our Alma Mater, our parents have given us an education rich in ideals and brimming with fine, true, religious sentiments. Do we not owe them, then, a sincere limitless gratitude? With deep love and af- fection for us, they have lent willing hands to aid us in reaching our bright star. May they long he with us to direct this search for light. To you, dear parents, we whisper with all the fervor of a grateful heart, just this — God bless you! Ninety Six Valedictory F O O T P R I N Since our entrance into Saint Joseph ' s the re has been an outstanding group T who have bound all of us to them by their kind help and good advice. To the S esteemed members of the faculty we would likewise pay this last act of duty and affection. It is not a duly discharged merely from custom but from hearts deeply penetrated with the warmes ' t sentiment of esteem and obligation. They have taught us the principles of knowledge and of virtue which are to render us happy in ourselves and useful to others. So deeply fixed are their principles that they will be our counsellors in every exigency. Whether we are surrounded by the gaieties of life or immersed in the pursuits of fortune or of fame theirs will be the still, small voices that whisper advice. Truly they served us, truly they help- ed us ! We shall not forget. But how shall 1 take leave of the companions with whom I have been so long and so closely united. We have strolled along, pleasantly plucking the fruits of knowledge and we have been drawn together so that we seem parts of each other ' s lives. This day, now, forever disunites us from our collegiate pursuits and consigns us to the cares and disquietudes of the world. Today we have reached an open field where the road stops and each must choose her own path. The many hours we have passed in the alternate pursuits of science and amuse- ment will descend in later years, like the soft veil or evening on our pensive minds. There are some of us who have spent our hours in sequestered nooks, others who have preferred the pleasures offered by the many extra-curricular activities; but all have shared alike in the absorption of high idealism and obedi- ence to honor. These ideals, inculcated through long hours and fatigue will al- ways instil in us a spirit that strives towards higher levels and better thoughts, toward greater acts of service for our fellowman. And now we must say Farewell. Time steals from us our parting day and ends our meditation. We leave with a love for Alma Mater which mere words cannot express and our fervent hope is that she may prosper through the years. We sincerely trust that the light which has shone upon her in this era of usefulness and service may not be the decadent rays of the sunset but rather the burning rays of a brighter dawn. And so. not in sadness or with regret, but rather with grateful hearts and fond remembrances, we say: Farewell! A word that must be and hath been A sound which makes us linger — yet, farewell ! —Eileen F. Lavin, ••, X ntrt v Seven F O O T P R I N T S £ ' £hvoi Grant us one moment now of sunset glory; We are the fading day. If our west seem too bright. — Forbear; it, too, is brief.
