LIBRARY of BOSTON STATE COLLEGE If _ s if « i £ ' ■•• vi-imi ' THE CLASS OF 1936 takes pleasure in dedicating its Senior Annual THE LAMPAS DR. MARY C. MELLVN Assistant Superintendent of the Boston Public Schools Dr. Mellyn has long been closely associated with The Teachers College, — first as a member of the Faculty and now its special guide, philosopher, and friend as Assistant Superintendent of Schools. We honor Dr. Mellyn as an educator widely known and respected for her high professional ideals and achievement; an administrator who has filled with distinction many positions of responsibility and has accomplished work of great and lasting value; a scholar who is an example and an inspiration to every teacher; a woman, — kind, broadminded, and sympathetic, — wise in counsel, — a friend and a source of strength to beginners in her great profession. A perfect woman, nobly planned. To warn, to comfort, and command. PROLOGUE ' In this, the ninth edition of the Senior Annual, we, the editors, have attempted to record a pleasant chapter with a happy ending. The purpose of our year-book is to cherish the friendships of the Class of 1936 and to preserve its unity. Our Lampas is a challenge to Time in its inevitable attempt to make dim the memories of our college life. .yAy . x ' ' Tcio. i SBiS CZ- csj oi -er- C o ' t- ' doi- -, v7 rr ' THE FACULTY We, the Class of 1936, dedicate this page of the Lampas as an ex- pression of gratitude to the members of the faculty, whose sympa- thetic insight, wise guidance, and inspiring sincerity have created personal and professional ideals which we hope to keep always — a most valuable and significant gift. DR. WILLIAM HENRY JOSEPH KENNEDY In Dr. Kennedy, our President, we have had an inspiring leader, devoted to his profession and dedicated to the highest ideals of scholarship and personal ethics. His attainments, his quiet humor, and his dependable friendliness are salient characteristics of a leader whose actions are ruled by unselfish thought for the welfare of both students and teachers. DR. WILLIAM FRANCIS LINEHAN Dean Linehan aJways listens sympathetically to our problems and can be depended upon to offer a satisfactory solution. He seeks at all times what he thinks is best for students and teachers, — what- ever will contribute most to their happiness. MARGARET MARY SALLAWAY We are grateful, indeed, to Miss Sallaway, our Adviser of Women. With keen insight and rare understanding she has guided our ac- tivities throughout our college course. We shall always remember her untiring devotion and complete unselfishness. WALLACE C. BOYDEN Although Mr. Boyden retired before our entrance into The Teachers College, we have always felt his interest and friendship. At the annual assembly in his honor, we rise in spontaneous tribute to him as a personification of those characteristics he recently named as necessary to a great teacher: enthusiasm for the work; a belief in the possibilities of the human soul; consecration to the truth and right; and willingness for self-sacrifice.

It may seem conceited to sing one ' s own praises, but we do not see how a student could spend four years as a member of our present Senior Class and not be proud of the class. Truly our accomplishments justify a certain pride. Con- sider the outstanding leaders we have given to the Self-Government Association, to clubs, and to classes; our social events exceptional in efficient management and successful completion; and finally our noteworthy scholastic record. What is the explanation for such success? It is plain that behind every activity undertaken by our class there has been sincere enthusiasm, steadfast determination to succeed, and an admirable spirit of cooperation and friendliness. Then, too, no small share of credit goes to our leaders. We are unanimous in our sincere appreciation of the class officers, — our president, Rose Kidney, who has covered herself with glory in so many fields, and to Eleanor Lee, Betty Kelleher, and Francis Sullivan who have given loyal support in the leadership of our class in its final year. With such a repu- tation to maintain, we may expect much in the future from the Class of 1936. Twenty-foi LAMPAS 1936 Sylvia Abel — All the sivi, commend hey. Like an exotic, vivid flower, Sylvia has bloomed in the somber conventional city. There is a certain calm poise in this beauti- ful, popular girl that enhances her charm. Indeed, poise has become so much a part of Sylvia ' s personality that one cannot picture her in a state of confusion. More- over, this daughter of the gods, divinely fair, combines intelligence with loveli- ness. An intense energy and zeal in matters scholastic have combined to keep her right there. We extend the palm to Sylvia for blending her social and scholas- tic activities with masterly skill. Major: English.

Shirley Abelo ' w Lady I you are with beauties so enriched Of body and of mind. As I can hardly find Which of them all hath most my heart be- witched. Some girls are born to be leaders, to be successful in all their undertakings. Shirley is one of these few. Her simplicity, candor, and obvious efficiency inspire confidence, which is never misplaced. With all her talent for leadership, Shirhy is always willing to cooperate with others; and she gives her best to all her work, even the tasks which carry w ith them no glory. Her delightful humor, contagious en- thusiasm, and sympathetic understanding make her a friend among friends. A schol- arly mind, social grace, and charming ap- pearance are elements in her distinctive personality. Deep personal integrity, tol- erance, and selflessness are combined in her splendid character.

Twenty-fve 936 LAMPAS Rose Angelina Aversa A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded, A rose tvith all its siveetest leaves yet folded. Rose is so quiet and gentle for the most part, that only on rare occasions were her classmates allowed to raise the curtain, as it were, and see and appreciate the spark of nature ' s fire that is her inheritance. Witness Rose ' s adept playing of the violin with the College Ensemble at the Tea in Collins Hall and at Commencement in the Courtyard; also her lovely solos at he Cercle Frangais. We who are not so gifted musically admired her talent. Again she gained our admiration when, without fuss or fanfare, she proffered the French girls an original poem, so fine in Gallic fluency, so pointed in humor, and so poignant with pathos as- to Warrant its being read at the Cercle Frangais, where it achieved for its author the high praise — C ' est tres bien fait, ca!

Demure Mary has given ample evidence that no task is too great for her small self to undertake. She proceeds with her work joyfully and serenely, completing it well; and she will be the ideal kindergarten teacher. Quiet and industrious, she is con- tented to be in the background, but she is so vital that her presence is always felt. Her calmness is that of still waters, and her brightness that of full many a gem.

Twenty-six LAMPAS 1936 Ruth Veronica Bailey Some say thy grace is youth and gentle sport. Vivacity plus! Thus we think of Rutli, the girl who mixes capability and frivolity in the correct measure to make the all- round girl. She never permits herself a dull moment, and her energetic nature is always busy with some activity, social or scholastic. Serious moments she has, but far more familiar and pleasant are her moments of bubbling good humor and fun. Lightly will she go along life ' s path- way, making the journey brighter with her laughter.

Anna Beatrice Bayard A sense of humor is the salt of life. It is not in Anna ' s nature to be serious long over anything. She is full of zest for living. But beneath her carefree exterior is a reflective mind, of which we have all been aware. Her happy face would always dispel the gloom which might sometimes have fallen around us. No problem how- ever difficult could ruffle Anna ' s calm or cast a shadow on her disposition. She is not talkative, — but when she speaks it is worth while to listen. ' We have a cordial, understanding friend in Anna.

Twenty-seven 936 LAMPAS Anne Berkowitz Who mixed reason with pleasure. And luisdom tvith mirth. Fortune has indeed smiled upon Anne. Slie was born with a talent for art and for singing; she has acquired proficiency in flute-playing and tap-dancing. But Anne has kept these talents in her treasure chest, to be brought forth only on special oc- casions. She has all the marks of an ex- cellent student, a first-rate athlete, and a conscientious worker. As president of the Athletic Association she sets the standard to the large club-membership for track and basket-ball. As a member of committees of importance she has done much to ensure the success of teas, plays, and dances. Particularly in the dances has Anne shown us that her social life, too, is not neglected.

Eleanor Margaret Bogan ' ' In framing an artist, art hath thus To make some good, hut others to exceed. Eleanor is the class artist both in talent .md temperament. She draws and paints exquisitely, and oh! the clothes she de- signs and makes! Her accomplishments make us admire her, and, in an affectionate way, envy her. Eleanor ' s appearance and personality are as charming as one of her own drawings — sweet, subtle, and serene. She knows what she wants to accomplish and just how to carry out her plans. Ac- cordingly, she is successful in everything she attempts. No wonder, then, that Eleanor gains the respect as well as the sincere affection of all those with whom she comes in contact. Major: Art.

Twenty-eight LAMPAS 1936 Gerardine Anne Buckley Genteel in personage. Conduct, and equipage. From her curly head to her trim feet, Jerry is full of life; indeed she is inde- fatigable. Never tired and ever eager to be doing something, Jerry, walking swiftly in the corridors, or running gaily to school with hair flying, seems energy personified. She is always full of interest and enjoyment in life. Her enthusiasm is most refreshing to weary students who relax in her presence and seem to take on a new lease of life. Though in later years the memories of old days will be dim, the image of her smiling face will still give encouragement to her friends.

A flashing smile — a glimpse of pearly teeth — that is Etta. Indeed we are most grateful for the smile that has so often shown the sunnier side of an apparently serious situation. No account of this girl would be complete without saying that she has the brownest eyes. Briefly, she is a truly bright spot on our collegiate horizon. Light-hearted or grave, she is delightful. She will be the gay companion of brighter hours, or the diligent scholar of midnight-oil time. Her endowments and various accomplishments will ever make Etta a friend indeed.

Twenty-nine 936 LAMPAS Claire Eliot Burton Choose your course, pursue it grandly. And achieve what you pursue. A rare combination of brains, beauty, and character, Claire stands forth as one of the shining stars of the class. She has a unique personality which combines a quick-thinking brain and a high-spirited nature. Claire ' s habit of rapid speech has been a source of enjoyment and amuse- ment to all those classes which she has en- livened with recitations delivered with rapier-like swiftness. Then too, as is char- acteristic of the model college girl, she participates in many social activities both in and out of the College; and this variety of interests has enriched her personality.

Rita Veronica Cahill ' ' Qiiiet she teas, forsooth not vain, Ij jr tends he credit, she hath much gain. We are fortunate, indeed, to have Rita as one of our classmates in the college. She is an outstanding student, — brilliant, conscientious, and versatile. She fills the position of President of the Classical Club with the quiet dignity and the poise char- acteristic of all her work. A keen sense of humor, a fun-loving disposition, and an even temper make Rita one of the most popular girls in the class. Everything she undertakes is efficiently brought to a suc- cessful conclusion. She will be remem- bered for her fine scholastic attainment, her charming personality, and her unusual versatility.

Thirty LAMPAS 936 Helen F. Callahan Blessed tvith that charm, — the certainty to ■please. Self-confidence and poise seem to have come naturally to Helen, even before she became a dignified Upper-classman. Never disturbed by an audience, she has deservedly earned a reputation as one of the best story-tellers the lunchroom, or any other spot popular for relaxation, has ever known. She is highly individual and you find yourself thinking about her long after she has left you. Perhaps it ' s because she speaks slowly, in an intriguingly husky voice; perhaps it ' s because of her fascinating appearance. More probably it ' s because of her savoir-faire, — the je ne sais quoi — which is an essential element in her personality. Major: General Science.

Olive Theresa Campbell For thy sweet love remembered such ivealth brings, That then I scorn to change 7ny state ivith You like Ollie with no effort at all. Her friendships are a high tribute to a per- sonality and character truly noble. We should be rich indeed had we the com- mand of words — simple, sincere, harmoni- ous — lofty enough to describe Ollie ' s nature and do her justice. Because she can outdo us all in gaiety, love of nonsense, ex- uberance of spirits when we ' re gay; because she can listen sympathetically to all our woes when we ' re gloomy; because she can reach the heights of loyalty, understand- ing, and goodness; because she is so sincere in her enthusiastic and unstinted praise of those she admires, she has earned for her- self not only praise equal to that she gives, but the loyal devotion of many admiring friends.

Thirty-L 936 LAMPAS Mary Altagracia Carmody Write me as one ivho loves his felloiv men. Mary, the friendliest person at the college, is the possessor of hosts of friends. She seems to have some magic power which draws loyal friends to her; perhaps it is that in her friendships she gives always more than she asks in return. Elected councillor again and again, she has ful- filled the demands of that office for the benefit of those she has represented, and has always won their approval. For some- one to play with, someone to talk with, someone to study with, she is the answer, life never is dull when she is near. A t, ' ood friend, a game girl, Mary can always be depended upon to do her part and do it w ell. Major: General Science.

AiLEEN Elizabeth Carpenter She loas wild, and sweet, and ivitty Let ' s not say dull things about her. In the midst of the crowd of timorous Freshmen, Aileen was perhaps the most conspicuous. Why? Her happy smile — and her broken arm. She remained con- spicuous for her charm and talents and became one of the most outstanding mem- bers of our class. Her ability to be a thorough student and a pleasant, loyal friend was soon apparent. Her wit and exuberant humor brightened many a free hour. And how she delighted in a keen, logical argument! No farce or buffoonery in her altruism; rather, there is a sparkling pungency. Aileen has become an inter- ested student of history and the literature of England and France. Her interest in college life and her enjoyment of all people and things are so intense that with Rostand we can say, Elle fait de la grace avec rien. Major: French.

Thirtj-two LAMPAS 936 Mary Frances Catenacci She is pretty to walk with, loitty to talk toith. And pleasant, too, to think on. A charming personality made up of a stimulating wit and a pleasant manner makes Mary a delightful companion. Fun- loving, vivacious, ever willing to co- operate in either social or scholastic affairs, she has been an efficient and loyal member of the class. Among her widely diversified interests are athletics, dancing, dramatics, and social work. Through her work in the Welfare Club, many of the Settlement Houses of the city have been ably assisted by Teachers College students. As president of the Spanish Club she in- sures the success of all its activities. Mary has won many friends with her arresting, throaty laugh and her sympathetic under- standing. It will be interesting to watch her succeed in her career of teacher and club-woman. Major: Spanish.

Ethel Almyra Coes Along the cool, sequestered vale of life She keeps the noiseless tenor of her tvay. Ethel is one of those quiet persons whose presence and activities make things run more smoothly. She is very conscientious and quite absorbed in her specific field. She has even gone to the length of choosing her pet typewriter from all the typewriters of the school. Of course, we remember her as one of the girls who so obligingly played the piano for our dancing (?) and marching in the gymnasium. Also Ethel can play the organ. She is fond of athletics and sports, — an interest that reflects her active, friendly, and social spirit. She is a typical all-round girl, beloved by all.

Thirty-three 936 LAMPAS Dorothy E. Cohen I ' ve built my soul a pleasure house Wherein at ease to dwell. Between the seriousness of some stu- dents and the excited agitation of others, Dot ' s unruffled calm stands like a bulwark which relieves the tenseness of scholastic endeavors. Her detachment from bewilder- ing circumstances is at times infectious. Her love of clothes has created a model of what the well-dressed girl wears. Evi- dently at an early age she determined her aim in life — to enjoy life to its fullest. To achieve this end she has acquired the skill of seeing only the bright side of every situation. When the years part us, we shall still be certain thatDot is hurrying through the world, drawing joy and happiness from every passing hour.

Hilda Cohen A friendly smile and a frieirdly tuay. Hilda ' s constant calm serenity is indeed enviable. She is so easy-going and good- natured, — ever ready with a laugh even in those dark moments preceding examina- tions! The better one knows her, the richer a nature one discovers. Have you ever heard her discuss music, art, or recent literature? Of the latter she has a truly remarkable fund of knowledge, due, prob- ably, to her experience as a librarian. She is a good mixer, and with her varied interests and witty conversation is wel- come in any social group.

LAMPAS 936 Rosalind Cohen With gentle yet prevailing force hitent upon her destined course. Not long before mid-years Rosalind startled us by producing two beautiful paintings that she had done herself! Since then, she has confessed to the hobby of painting in oils and water colors. More- over, she likes music, especially singing. We know her better as a serious, purpose- ful student who works persistently towards her goal. Outside of school she studies Hebrew, in which she is an accomplished scholar. In the future she will travel, but now she reads of adventure and of far-off places. It is safe to predict an interesting career for her.

Grace Ruth Colchester Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter. Charm, that intangible je ne sais quoi is inherent in Ruth. It is impossible to tell all the pleasant things we know about her because so many are the quiet, gentle qualities that are hard to define. Her voice alone bespeaks the varied harmonies of her character. Her well-modulated, smooth, even tones testify to a serene, pleasant, and likeable disposition. One needs to know Ruth outside of class, how- ever, to learn that these gentle, subdued melodies can change to rollicking songs under the stimulus of an atmosphere of sociability. Wherever she may be, Ruth invariably gives the impression of perfect poise, and a gracious manner which leaves in our minds a serene and beautiful picture. Major: Geography.

Thirty -five 936 LAMPAS Mary Alberta Collins A friend may be reckoned the masterpiece of nature. We all admire Mary as a loyal friend and fellow-student. One of the most talented members of the class, — a brilliant pianist and fine scholar, — she moves among us with queenly graciousness. Her cheer- ful, winning manner will make her re- membered as one of our most popular girls. She is always among the capable leaders of class activities. As president of Le Cercle Frangais she guides its meetings with quiet dignity and efficient leadership. Loyal, versatile, and sincere, she readily wins the hearts of all who know her. Inevitably, her future will be bright. Major: French.

Connie — the girl whose activities include a most delightful round of social, athletic, and scholastic events. Connie — the girl whose charm and personality are far too vivid to be por- trayed adequately in words. Everyone knows her and everyone likes her; for she may truly be characterized as an all-round girl. In the classroom, in the gymnasium, in the ball-room, Connie has made her mark. In the hearts of her classmates that mark is indelible. Major: Mathematics.

Here we find no veneer of superficial sophistication. She exem- plifies those fundamental basic qualities that make a person truly noble, — kind- ness, loyalty, generosity. Most loyal to her college and to her friends, — who has ever heard her say an unkind word about anyone? Her fine mind and high scholastic ability are evidenced by a four- year honor record. Through her efforts as chairman of the House Committee, the Assembly Hall, Students ' Room, and Lunch Room were made pleasanter places. As an executive she is capable and con- scientious. Gretchen is what we all should wish to be, — a gracious lady.

Mary Theresa Coppinger She is loyal of heart, high of purpose, and gentle of spirit. Mary is a vital, deep, and rather quiet girl. Those who majored in English know her to be a capable student and a clear thinker. Although she is naturally unas- suming, she is a good leader, a fact which is proved by her work as president of the English Club during the past year. She is a conscientious and thorough worker and a gentle, sweet companion. In the warmth of the circle of her closest friends, her true nature unfolds itself so that she is recognized as a charming comrade and an interesting personality. A girl of ster- ling integrity, she has set up for herself standards to which she adheres with ad- mirable force of character.

Probably you cannot, and this suggests that we know less than we thought we did about this popular girl. We like her for her friendly, social nature and her quiet efficiency. This year she was president of a club outside of school, and doubtless she showed her capability in that position. Of course, she enjoys sports, such as skiing, skating, and ball-playing, and like most girls, she is very fond of dancing. She is a thor- oughly good companion who livens things up wherever she goes.

Large soft eyes, twink- ling with humor, reflect her warm-hearted, friendly nature; and her pleasant voice and manner reveal an even, sunny dis- position. Her precision, neatness, and ac- curacy result in work of high quality in the typewriting class and make her a favorite helper. Though she is exceed- ingly feminine, she takes part in such active, vigorous sports as tennis, swim- ming, and skating, in all of which she is expert. Finally, she is very fond of driv- ing. A typical modern girl, she will be remembered best for her genuine sympathy and her ready camaraderie.

Those eternally beautiful words, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you best express her lovely attitude toward her classmates. Truly, the Golden Rule is Charlotte ' s rule. Fortune has smiled kindly upon the students who have en- joyed her close comradeship. Her easy manner, another delightful characteristic, further enhances her personality. She has ever been a restful influence after a tur- bulent day. The world has unlimited possibilities of friendship for such a girl as Charlotte.

Her capacity for cheerfulness seems inexhaustible; her eyes shine with a light reflected from her kind, joyous heart. Hers is not the insipid Pollyanna sunshine, but the happy na- ture of a practical lass w ho knows that one must not travel Life ' s roads with a long face.

Dot possesses the enviable qualities of genuineness, tolerance, and contempt for affectation. Her well-defined standards and unprejudiced outlook make her a keen critic, just as her whimsical humor makes her a clever punster. Every one is im- pressed by her charming diffidence which often melts away in spontaneous admira- tion for clever craftsmanship and beauty. Irrepressibly feminine, incorrigibly ro- mantic, with a flair for satiric epigram and a talent for friendship, she goes her way in serenity and kindliness, asking little and giving much. Although she is the least aggressive of persons, she has ad- vanced in her chosen field because her obvious capability has won the recog- nition which she will not demand.

Her sociability, her brilliant mind with its power of logical reasoning, and her whimsical humor have won her a host of friends who believe in her because she has proved competent, ingenious, and gracious as a class and club leader. Her abiding interest in the social sciences, the accuracy of her perspective make her a valuable History student. Eileen, with her disconcerting moments of inscruta- bility, her fine social poise, her dignity which amounts almost to aloofness, and withal, her talent for companionship and gayety, is a person not to be forgotten.

Gradually she would reveal her true worth to him, as she has to us who have the privilege of knowing her inti- mately. He would nod with approval at the girl who gives unsparingly of time and energy, and who is willing to go to endless trouble to help others; he would, perhaps, even smile understandingly at the low chuckles which bespeak Mary ' s sense of humor.

Helen Michael Dracos M.y early and invincible love of reading I would not exchange for the treasures of India. We can mention few books that Helen has not read, and she is familiar with many that are mere names to us. She has often roused the class from lethargic acceptance of what is being said, to keener perception by her penetrating questions, and has surprised us frequently with her knowledge and application of philosophy. The latter subject, together with her at- tendance at concerts and good plays, occupies most of her spare time. Besides these pronounced intellectual activities she has her merry, light-hearted side. Though inclined to be serious, she can be witty and jolly. One could not wish for a better companion in a good argument, a hearty laugh, or a serious talk.

Elizabeth Duston With such a comrade, with such a friend, I fain would walk to journey ' s end. Betty is a study in contrasts with her ascetic brow, and her sensitive mouth; with her wit and her originality and sweetness; with her long deep thoughts and her pungent, clever speech. As Editor- in-Chief, her handling of the Lampas this year has been a step toward a great career in the field of literature. A keen and brilliant student, as editor of the first edition of the college handbook she was revealed as an efficient organizer. Her friends know that running like an odd thread through the varied pattern of her personality, is her love of an occasional dramatic gesture. Her sparkling wit and her talent for droll hyperbole make her a clever and amusing raconteur. May she continue to take life in her stride, coolly and nonchalantly, her loyalty to her chosen ideals unchanged.

The warmth of her smile, the spontaneity of her expression invade the hearts of all those who know her. However crowded her time, she has the ability of adjusting it to suit the convenience of her class- mates. This seems to be the truest evi- dence of good nature. There have been times when, distressed by the many diffi- cult tasks which confronted us, we sought Alice, who, in her quiet and unobtrusive way, set our hearts at ease. She has a beautiful attitude toward human nature. She apparently sees only the good in everyone, while all faults disappear in her sympathetic understanding.

An irre- pressible sense of humor, which makes life interesting for her companions, and which clears the atmosphere in moments of constraint is our first discovery. A toss of her head, a twinkle in her brown eyes, and an infectious laugh characterize Mary in a gay mood. But gayety is not the only content of our package. Mary is calm, serious, sympathetic, — a sincere friend, an excellent companion, and (mira- bile dictu!) a good listener. All of these qualities are contained in just five-feet-one of whimsicality and charm. Major: Music.

Like most of us, she hopes to travel; but, unlike us, she has visited many places along the Atlantic Coast and in the South-east. Life is serious to her, though she is full of fun at the right time. She is very talented m sewing (makes most of her own clothes) and is interested in the piano and aesthetic dancing. Then, too, she has her more intellectual interests, — satisfied by her college work and by such lecturers as Ludwig. Her desire for knowledge leads her into many interesting paths.

She is always entertaining, cheerful, and easy to get along with. She likes dramatics and must have some interesting experiences from her dramatic career. As a Girl-Scout Lieutenant she has kept in close contact with young girls such as she will teach later. She is an ad- mirably fun-loving, many-sided, evenly- balanced girl.

No group of which she is a member could remain serious for long, — she sees a funny side to even the dullest subjects. Her originality makes her unwilling to follow the ordinary procedure of the group; — rather, she likes to do things a little differently. Beneath her light and carefree manner is a conscientious and serious attitude toward her work, which makes her well-fitted to have been chosen our councillor for two years. A fine mind, a keen sense of humor, and a kind and loving heart, are qualities in her per- sonality which should assure Sylvia ' s success as a teacher.

We admire her, too, for her school spirit, and appreciate the time and energy which she has given to college projects.

Here is no procrasti- nation, but rather direct, immediate at- tack on the thing to be done. Outside of class she is very much interested in sports, and is also the director of a club.

She was ever alert in the classroom; yet somehow one realized instinctively that she also had vital interests outside the college. She invariably gives one the feeling that she does well whatever she attempts. This feeling is justified; for Agnes is one of those fortunates who know just what to do, how much to do, and when to do it. She has a quiet but acute sense of humor, and a leisure half-hour or more spent with Agnes (it would usually be spent with Winifred, too) is always both enjoyable and profitable. Major: English.

Yet, in spite of being an excellent talker, she possesses the rare accomplishment of being a good listener, — sympathetic and discerning. In dramatics she excels; she made a great success of our production of The Tempest by her intelligent characterization of Caliban. But, best of all, is her happy ability to keep cheerful, not boringly so, but just enough to keep about her an aura of pleasantness. In every respect she will leave pleasant thoughts with her class- mates, who will reluctantly forego her daily companionship. Major: General Science.

She has light- heartedly pursued her way through col- lege, with never-failing cheerfulness. Since she has the ability to think clearly, to remain open-minded, and to show always a friendly and helpful nature, her entrance into the teaching profession is most auspicious. Special Class Course Welfare Club; Drama Club ' 33, ' 34; Science Club ' 34. Florence Pauline Kessler Elegant as simplicity, and as warm as ecstasy. From Florence we have learned the ad- vantages of being sweet-spirited and sunny- tempered, of diffusing an atmosphere of good cheer, of being ever ready in a generous, unselfish manner to help others. Sometimes we find her in a joyous humor; sometimes in serious meditation. Her thoughts are voiced with a delicate frank- ness. A pleasing personality, however, is not her only charm. Many a pressing difficulty is solved by her logical mind. Sound judgment enables her to sense what is important in life. She clearly distin- guishes work from play, and her simplicity of manner is admired by all. We shall ever remember her genuine sincerity — the gift of true friendship.

Rose has been one of the most outstanding leaders in the college for four years. Her fine mind, sup- plemented by her willingness to serve, has insured the success of the college ' s in- tellectual as well as social activities. Many an audience has been left spell-bound by the presentations she has rendered -with her singularly beautiful speaking voice. She fills the position of President of the Senior Class with an enthusiasm, poise, dignity, and efficiency that make her a model for all fellow students. One can- not think of Rose without visualizing the success that must be hers, for her life is synonymous with the term Excelsior! Major: Physics.

Winifred Joan Kincade Comrade hlythe and full of glee. Who dares to laugh out loud and free. Win, the personality girl, as she is apth called, is well known for her lively man- ner and her winsome, contagious smile. Add to these a keenly logical mind, as evidenced by very high scholastic attain- ments, and you have the well balanced Win whom we all admire. Her gay out- look on life radiates cheer to all who have the pleasure of knowing her. Brilliant, vivacious, enthusiastic, optimistic, and blessed with a splendid sense of humor, Win is a composite of those characteristics which make a popular classmate and a desirable friend. In the spirit of Carlyle we may say of her, Oh, give us the man who sings at his work, for there is no greater every-day virtue than cheerful- ness. Major: French.

Fifty-nine 936 LAMPAS Gertrude Mary Kinsman They are never alone that are accompanied by noble thoughts. Many times during our college days we welcome the companionship of a true friend. Such a friend we have found in Gertrude Kinsman, who has shared her talents willingly with all of us. She has always been conscientious and earnest in her -work. Her special interest lies in help- ing those less fortunate than herself. She impresses her classmates as being reticent by nature; indeed it is her unassuming manner that makes her so attractive. Cer- tainly we all wish her success. Special Class Course Welfare Club (Aide ' 34); Classical Club ' 33; Drama Club ' 34; Music Club ' 36; Science Club ' 33.

Her viva- cious spirit and keen sense of humor give zest to her every undertaking. A fine scholar, she commands the admiration of her college mates. We love her for her evident enjoyment of life and for the Puckish humor which has brightened many of our classes. Willing to serve and generous with her many talents.

Artistic hands, exquisite taste, a lovely voice, a charming smile — possibly exterior qualities, yet all indicative of that inner refinement so characteristic of Pauline. She makes friends by her charm of per- sonality; she keeps them with her sym- pathy and understanding. Her love of beauty, appreciation of humor, sincerity in scholastic pursuits mark her as the superior type of college girl. To sing her praises, to place her upon a pedestal, and to surround her blond coronet with a nimbus would be like gilding the lily. To us who know her she will ever be re- membered, charming and sweet, sincere and kind.

Who has not been amazed by the consistent composure and philosophical serenity she has exhibited before and after the many exams we have experienced? Carmela enters into the social life of the college with the grace and en- thusiasm characteristic of the modern college girl who can divide her time equally between study and play. She will be remembered as a most charming person — and so to her we say: Stay as sweet as you are; don ' t let anything ever change you. Major: Latin.

Peg is a person -with whom one feels immediately at ease. Her fun-loving vi- vacity springs from a wholesome attitude towards life; her earnestness and loyalty are based on the fundamental sincerity of her nature. When Peggy is asked to do a favor, she responds willingly and as if she really feels it her duty to help. Friend- ship counts much with her, as her friends well know. To wish Peg success would be superfluous, for she possesses diligence, leliability, humor, — all the qualities that, in her chosen profession, will lead to fine achievement.

For our happier hours she be- guiles us with many a merry remark, — for sadder hours she is a source of sym- pathetic understanding. Who could ever imagine Eleanor at a loss for ways to spend free hours? Entirely adaptable, she is equally at ease reciting in class, or pre- siding at tea. In our minds she will ever stand for charm, poise, and delightful cheerfulness.

Rita, with her flashing smile, sparkling beauty, and active, vigorous character, is one of the most serious students among us, — one of the very few who really plan their work and study ahead of time for examinations. As a result her work is as uniformly good as her disposition is evenly sunny. Because of her dependability she is entrusted with such positions as that of President of the Commercial Club. However, Rita is not only conscientious and ambitious but sociable and fun-loving as well. Her keen wit, — subtle, dry, and always to the point, — is a joy to her friends. Rita is a girl active in body, mind, and spirit, — a delightful member of the Class of 1936.

Mary will be remembered by her college mates for her pleasant personality, her beautiful speaking voice, and her schol- astic attainments. For four years, she has quietly but efficiently labored among us, radiating perpetual good cheer. Her grace- ful figure becomes in the gym a flashing threat to opposing teams. A fine sense of humor, a cheery nature, and at times, a w himsical manner make Mary a popular member of the college. Her soft, mellow, musical voice makes her recitations de- lightful.

Ever tactful and efficient, she has a natural dignity of bear- ing which we should all like to possess. She combines ease with dignity and is the personification of poise.

Her intimate friends know her as an interesting conversation- alist, with whom one could talk down the night into the sky, and carry away a high heart and a renewed faith. Her uncompromising honesty, unswerving de- votion, and amazing gift for service, have won for her a popularity unequalled in the class. Mary ' s reserve, her passion for service, her keen mind, and her friendliness insure success in the future.

Sixty-four LAMPAS 936 Mary Veronica Martin Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food. Mary will tell you dryly that Cogito ergo sum may prove for Descartes that we exist, but she prefers to be pinched; it requires less effort on her part and is just as convincing. This apparent levity will deceive no one who knows her well, for Mary is not one to skim the surface of thought. No better description of her wit can be found than, the salt of conver- sation, for her quick retorts truly give a delightful flavor to her every expressed thought and bring out in sharp relief many a fine and new idea. But this dry wit accentuates Mary ' s profound scholarliness, keen intelligence, and lovable personality. In brief, she has succeeded so well in com- bining probity of character with a keen sense of humor and a well-trained mind that it becomes a pleasure and a privilege to have her for a friend.

Though not often in a serious mood, and never so for any length of time, she com- pletes all her work as well as anyone, and worries less. With surprising nonchalance she offers valuable suggestions in both in- tellectual and social questions. Her style of telling a humorous anecdote is unique as those of us will testify who have waited breathlessly for the coup de grace. In- deed she is a perfect antidote for the blues.

If asked to describe the sum-total of all Jo ' s qualities, we could do no more than say aptly, She is alive with personality! Major; English.

From the very first Vicky has taken her place quietly and unassumingly, and with matchless efficiency has completed all kinds of difficult tasks. She is always busy. First it was having the responsi- bility of the mimeograph room; next it was the ordering and distributing of our caps and gowns; and finally, it was taking care of the photography for the Lampas. Only an unusually capable person would be chosen for such responsibilities. Withal, she is ever ready to answer ouf questions and to help us in any way. So in her calm, cheery manner she goes along, doing whatever duty is nearest. She is an in- valuable member of our class and a price- less friend.

Bertha Solomon Silence siveeter is than speech. Quiet, unassuming, yet with a great capacity for enjoyment, Bert enters into all of our activities with pleasant spirit. She is gentle both in voice and manner. She gives the impression of being exceptionally thoughtful, but further acquaintance re- veals a delightfully warm personality. No one has ever seen Bertha in an unpleasant mood. She is an able student, a persever- ing and conscientious worker. With these characteristics, Bert will certainly have no trouble in reaching her goal.

Actions, not words, are the criteria by which we judge Beatrice. When others are telling what they are going to do, lo and behold! Beatrice, in her quiet, con- scientious, efficient way, has done it. A characteristic neatness and thoroughness stamps her every endeavor. But so grace- fully are these qualities revealed that only through her deeds (such as her fine work in the Welfare Club) can she be really appreciated. Certainly she would be the last one to sing her own praises. Since these traits of dependability and selflessness are tempered with a steady good humor, innate charm, and delightful friendliness, it is easy to understand her popularity.

With apparent ease Frances has ac- quired an enviable mastery of her specific field. Indeed, such is her skill that we think she could succeed in the business world or the teaching profession with equal facility. Moreover, her fine work in the college store gave her much practice in accounting and led to her election as class treasurer, a position which she has filled with characteristic efficiency. A conscientious student, eager to succeed, she is also a charming companion. In allegedly free hours she delights her friends by telling jokes of the intellectual variety, and takes impish pleasure in taxing with riddles their already over- burdened brains. Such a girl is inevitably popular.

Peggy is our miniature, and a fine one at that. Beneath her carefree exterior, Peggy has a serious side. One never knows, however, just how earnestly she regards her work, — or life in general. In addition to having a gay disposition, Peggy also possesses a talent for musical expression. We loved to hear her sing and w ill always remember her for her musical ability. We think she ■will make a fine teacher, one who will surely succeed in the class- room.

When things go wrong, only a slight move disturbs the serenity of her features. Her quiet manner does not entirely hide from us her capabilities. Because she is so level-headed, her sound opinions have always been eagerly sought. We predict that her sweet nature will continue to endear her to many as it has made her beloved by her classmates.

She has a ready wit, a startlingly logical mind, and a delightfully off-hand manner which none of the minor tragedies of college life can dispel. If dignity and nonchalance are at all compatible, we find their com- bination in Ruth. A willing worker, an efficient executive, and a loyal member of the college, she is one of its outstanding leaders. Ruth will be remembered by all her friends for her charming fellowship, her refreshing naivete, and her unlimited capabilities.

Those who know her well are familiar with her merry wit, both in the period of suspense before examinations and in the more carefree moments in the lunchroom and students ' room where puns come thick and fast. But Marion is also a student, and so merits all the more praise for her ability to pursue many outside activities in which music plays a great part.

Her convers;i- tion is never dull, but is as spritely and joyous as the girl herself. No problem was ever difficult enough to dampen her spirits. We are lucky to have basked in the sun of her friendship and to have been joy-tanned by it. She will go happily on her way, always looking on the bright side of life.

Her active life within the college and her many outside interests have added richness to her personality. She complies willingly when called upon either to play the dance accompaniments in the gymnasium or to sing at a college social. She has been a most willing and efficient member of many committees that have contributed to the success of college functions.

Throughout her wide and varied activities she has maintained an open- mindedness and an independence of thought that are refreshing. A certain abstracted manner sometimes makes us wonder to what heights her mind may be soaring, and makes the very essence of her personality elusive and intangible. Hers is certainly an individual and appeal- ing personality. Major; Art.

Professor Charles Swain Thomas Eifhty-eight CLASS HISTORY September, 1932 to June, 1936 An attractive woman of middle age reclines in a gaily-striped deck-chair on the shady veranda of her Spanish villa overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific. Her hair shows touches of gray, yet her face has not lost its youthful loveli- ness. She seems not to see the white sails dotting the blue bay, nor to hear the surge of the surf as it breaks in long foamy rollers on the yellow sand. There is a look in her eyes as though she thought of long-ago, far-distant things. She half-smiles, now and again, as she reads the letter in her hand. Jan. 31, 1961 Dear Elizabeth, (it reads) Happy birthday to you across the country and across the years! How little we thought when, at ourT. C. commencement, we made our school-girl promise that we would either see each other or write to each other on our birthdays, that the promise would be kept for a quarter of a century! We could not then foresee that Cali- fornia would soon claim you, so that for many years our letters would cross the continent. Rummaging through an old desk the other day, I came upon my T. C. diary that I kept so faithfully during our four years at college and that you so often laughed at. Its yellowed pages held me enthralled for hours, and brought back many memo- ries. Would you enjoy recalling some of the things I read? Hitherto I have always sent you the latest news of the girls, but this letter will be full of, Do you re- member? and, What a wonderful time we had! At our age, however, reminis- cences are pleasant, and I know you will enjoy turning back the pages of Time. Do you remember the day we began our college career — the hottest September morning on record? How we were kept until half-past four that first day, receiving sections and programs, and being given eye-and-ear tests, so that except for the pleadings of our Sophomore sisters, we might have given up then. That Intelligence Test on our second day! How we endeavored for the next four years to discover our I.Q. ' s, but this secret remained safely hidden within the-safe in the President ' s oflice. I wonder if we could find out today! Do you remember the Acquaintance Party? How silly we felt following the mile-long line around, and meeting all the faculty members, of whom there seemed to be at least three hundred. And then our first party, when the Sophomores broad- cast from a radio station, and we, naive babes, gazed from beneath piles of Fraz.ier and Armentrouts in open-mouthed awe. What great success we had in decorating the Gym for our first Christmas party — under the direction of our officers! Do you remember who they were? The diary says. Rose Kidney, President; Eileen Donovan, Vice-President; Claire Burton, Secre- tary; Winifred Kincade, Treasurer. And shall we ever forget that first beautiful Christmas Assembly, when we beheld the tableau of the Nativity in the upper windows of the hall? February found us pale and hollow-eyed after the harrowing mid-years. We spent the rest of the year absorbing the history of the world as outlined in the little blue book; reciting solemnly, How now, brown cow, why do you look so sad? ; spending late afternoons in the library, making interminable outlines for dreaded special talks; dashing into the Model School to discover we were twenty seconds late; dashing out again to get in the front of the long curving line to reserve a Hayes and M-Oon or a Klapper. Yet somehow June arrived — we were through the year safely. We had great fun exchanging parties with other classes; and, we were always comforting ourselves with the reflection, The first year is always the hardest! Do you remember how, as Sophomores, we felt that the college was ours? How we escorted the now well-known faculty members to the Acquaintance Party and gazed pityingly at the trembling Freshman? My diary reports that our new officers were Eileen Donovan, President; Isabel Sefton, Vice-President; Ruth Van Ness, Secretary; and Ruth Bailey, Treasurer. Eigity-ttim At Christmas we donned various disguises and acted as Santa Claus ' s reindeer or other strange characters, to the amazement of the faculty children. What a won- derful entertainment they thought it! Ah, that was a winter indeed! Many a night w e spent leaning over the dining- table, painting borders on innumerable art sheets and creating original title pages. On sunny Sunday afternoons we remained indoors and let the strains of symphonies full of secret murmurings stir our innermost being, only to confuse Mozart with Tchaikovsky at the next class. How we pored over Cameron and Woodtvorth, tracing the neuronic connections, and read page after page of good old Manly! Up on the third floor we spied through handle-with-care microscopes on the private affairs of unsuspecting amoebae. Our social life was spent engaging in strenuous dances such as The Snowflake and Reap the Flax, and wandering through the Ar- boretum, gazing at what had been autumn flowers before the killing frosts. Mid-years, — winter sports, — spring in the air, — candy-sales, — serving at Teas, — Finals! In June after exams, came the first big social event of our class as a whole, — the Sophomore-Freshman Prom at Belmont Springs Country Club, where, in the warm spring air, in delicate pastel evening dresses, we danced amid lovely surround- ings, and wandered along broad verandas. This party was a delightful finale to our second year at the College. What a wonderful time we had! Shall we ever forget it? September, 1934, came, and we were upper classmen. We now chose our special field; but whether we preferred pioneer work in the kindergarten-primary level, or the interesting age in the elementary grades, or the problems of the adolescent in the junior high school, or work with sub-normal children in the special class group, or intensive specialization in one subject for the high school, our Class was firmly welded with bonds of friendship, common interests, and ideals. We cared tenderly for our Freshmen, and proudly steered their quaking frames along the imposing Faculty line at the Acquaintance Party, gave them a party in the form of a Mock Trial, and subjected them for a week to various mild indignities. The good old diary reminds me that Patricia Lyons was our Junior President; Margaret Kelley, Vice-President; Eileen Kelley, Secretary; and Marie Mullane, Treasurer. Surely you remember the dance at the Somerset! But we seem to have spent most of our time writing long papers on individual difl erences, learning the law of supply and demand, or begging from door to door for old magazines that we might procure colored pictures for our kindergarten classes. And then comes a record of the crowning event of this year, the long-awaited, much-heralded Junior Week, in February. Oh! that cold sunny Sunday, when the class attired in gayly colored ski-suits, and laden with skis, skates, and toboggans, boarded the snow-train at the crack of dawn, and spent a gorgeous, carefree day on the snow-covered hills of New Hampshire, returning tired and windburned late that night! And on Wednesday, the theatre party at the Shubert! How we enjoyed Dame Sybil Thorndike in The Dtstajf Side! As a climax of the week, came the Junior Prom at the University Club, at which we gamboled with youthful abandon, pinned on our delightful little favors, and were proud that we were Juniors. Classes, — exams, — Teas, — lolanthe, — so my record runs, as the tide of Time swept us along until another year had ended. October 1, 1935 — Seniors at last! Of course you remember the question heard a thousand times on Thursday afternoons, — How is it out? Marvelous! How is it in? Of course, by out and in we meant in college and out observing. Caps and gowns — our futile attempts to disguise the real thrill we received in first walking out of the Assembly Hall attired in our academic costume! Those caps would tip down over one eye, no matter how severely straight we put them on. The diary says it was in January that you and I had our pictures taken. What an ordeal it was beneath those ghastly, glaring, blue lights! We refused to recognize ourselves when the horrible proofs were submitted, — but at last we saw ourselves as others see us, — and what a blow to our pride that was! Ninety Can you quote a line from Snedden today? And yet for half a year we quoted him verbatim. We learned, too, that a good test was harder to make than to take, and discovered for the first time the difficulties of giving gym commands so that all members of the group would do the same thing at the same time. Our Lampas Bridge is my next record, and the diary tells that it ended with an impromptu fashion-show by the check-room girl. The announcement that there would be no mid-year period thrilled us, until we learned that each teacher planned to give a one-hour exam each week in January, — so that the entire month was spent with one horrible test after another. February 1st, and you and I were out. (This item sounds like a debutante ' s debut.) My next records are the Lampas Bridge and supper in town, and a most suc- cessful Lampas Tea a little later. The day of the Senior Prom! The news headlines screaming Worst Blizzard in Twenty Years — All Traffic Stopped — Snow Four Feet Deep! No member of the Class of ' 36 will ever forget how, ignoring all warnings about certain failure to reach the hotel, undaunted, we waded through huge drifts and arrived safely, though tardily, at the Kenmore, with ski-pants over our evening dresses, and proceeded to enjoy one of our happiest social affairs. What a glorious evening that was! Gold in the Hills or The Dead Sister ' s Secret! Certainly the funniest melodrama ever presented! The temptations of Nell, the deep-dyed villainy and the honest- heartedness of the senior and the boy-co-ed actors made it uproarious. As I write this I seem to hear you laughing. Onward sped the year; another dance, final exams, Beacon Street exams for some of us, and we ended our college career with the joys of Senior Week. How hard our officers worked to make it a success! Rose Kidney, Eleanor Lee, Betty Kelleher, and Frances Sullivan, — a capable quartette! We had the honor of being the first class to be invited to the Alumnae Dinner, and were formally received into the Association that we might all work together to keep the name of our college in the front rank. At the Faculty Reception, looked forward to for four years, our teachers seemed nearer to us than ever before, and despite the lighthearted mood of the evening, we felt a pang to think our college days would be over soon. In the Baccalaureate Address, the Dean spoke words of kindliness and wisdom, advising us how to succeed in our future careers. How little we knew then how varied those careers would be! You so soon to become a Californian, I to remain a dyed-in- the-wool Bostonian! Class Day next! The crowning event of any college girl ' s life! Wearing delicate pastel gowns, we met, and before our proud parents, added our contributions to the history of the college, forming the beautiful daisy-chain in the court yard. In the evening, we concluded Class Day with the traditional dance in Collins Hall, almost unrecognizable under its decorations. Laugh at the next comment in my diary! The frolic and fun at the outing almost made us ieel young again. We were then all of one-and-twenty! What a good time we had at the Pops, the next evening! Truly i ' ereior I efe was a wonderful whirl of activity. Do you remember how at the Class Banquet in the midst of all the good humor and light-hearted fun you whispered to me, Only a few days now and we shall all be parted, never to meet again as the Class of 1936! Commencement — the beginning of something — we knew not what. I can shut my eyes and see once again the long line of Seniors in academic garb — their precious degrees tightly clasped — descending from the platform. How young we were, how full of ambition and ideals! I think we may say that we have kept them through the crowded years, and that our college may well be proud of the Class of 1936.

Who are these Olympian white Butterflies of flame, Full of a holy grace? This is a chosen people. This is a separate race, . . . These are the darlings of my heart, These are the young! As we meet here today, inspired with a strong spirit of fellowship, rightful pride in our achievements, and happy enthusiasm for the future, w e feel the vivid beauty of Vachel Lindsay ' s lines. On this, our Class Day, so long waited and worked for, we say -with uplifted hearts, We are the young; the world is before us! But there is a sense of sadness, too, at leaving our college, our teachers, and our classmates. Our school-days are nearing an end and soon will be only a fond memory. Today, we stand where the brook and river meet; we are leaving the narrow stream of preparation and setting out on the broad whirling river of responsibility. In the swift current of life, let us strongly and courageously breast the waves, so as to avoid both the rapids of too easy accomplishment and the shallows of discourage- ment. We are the young, and the essential quality of youth is enthusiasm. If we bring joyful ardor to our work, the hardest tasks will become easy; the most irksome, pleasant. Certainly we can never win success without it, and with it wonders .can be accomplished. There can be no real enthusiasm unless it is founded upon intense interest in our profession. We must have faith in ourselves and in our abilities, brave hope that cannot contemplate discouragement or failure, and a joyous fervor that will lighten the most prosaic task. The person who is truly enthusiastic can never be colorless, ineffective, or futile, but will always stand out from the crowd. Then, too, enthusiasm is contagious; one eager and enthusiastic worker can arouse a large group to finer effort and greater achievement. No other quality is so important in a teacher. Everyone, at some time or other, feels an absorbing eagerness, a powerful interest in his work. But spasmodic zeal is not true enthusiasm, which must be accompanied by perseverance. Like a plant it must be carefully cultivated and nurtured. An enthusiastic spirit is especially necessary for the young people of today, who are going out into a world of limited opportunity and great competition. We must not allow gloom or discouragement to dim our vision of the joy, the goodness, and the beauty of life. In every hard situation we must see not the dark clouds of failure, but the rainbow of hope. This will demand courage, — and courage, the other great characteristic of youth, is born of enthusiasm. Courage will enable our spirits to soar to great heights; it will act as an impregnable, protecting shield against the vicious darts of uncertainty and despondency. In every hard situation the truly brave soul will conquer dis- couragement and reach its noblest heights. In accordance with collegiate tradition we have planted the Class Ivy. Even as it grows and flourishes, so too may our professional ideals aspire ever upward. Armed with faith in our ability and hope for the future, we today say farewell to our college, and go forth bravely to meet Life ' s responsibilities. A world lies before us, — a world to be conquered by the enthusiasm and courage of Youth! Rose Kidney Nhiety-thres CLASS ESSAY The Vision Where there is no vision, the people perish. As we glance over history ' s pages, we see clearly that all progress, both material and spiritual, has come from the inspired vision of some men or group of men, — men endowed beyond their fellows, wise beyond their times, and unselfish in their labors and self-sacrifice. All these see-ers of visions have had from time immemorial, the same high aim — to bring the world a little nearer to perfection, perhaps by making it a more beautiful place in which to live, perhaps by making it a better place in which to live. Vision does not know the limits of time or race; it is not the sole gift of genera- tions past, nor generations to come. It belongs to humanity and to Eternity. The whole history of man ' s progress is the story of a kingly succession of great men who saw visions and brought them to a realization in their labors for humanity. Every age has known them. Nations rose and fell, but The dreams their children dreamed, These remain. Moses, the great leader of the Hebrew race, inspired by a God-sent vision, strove constantly for his people ' s deliverance. Through long weary years he struggled on, guiding their faltering footsteps until they reached the Promised Land, the land flowing with milk and honey. In other ages and nations we see other visions. Consider the famous civilization that rose out of the sapphire Aegean! Here an entire people devoted their supreme efforts to reaching the goal of physical perfection and beauty. As we gaze at the white, slender, inspiring columns of the Parthenon, exquisite by moonlight, soul- stirring by sunlight, we see the embodiment of another great ideal and are stirred by the spirit of ageless beauty. Through the long sweet silence of the ages these temples stand, belonging to all time, an eternal prayer to Beauty immortal. Let us turn from the glory that was Greece to the grandeur that was Rome, — Rome, where Caesar dreamed him a world ruled well. Rome, too, had her vision — a vision of a perfect law and perfect government, two great contributions to future civilization. The Rome of the Caesars is an empire fallen, but the influence of Roman law and government is strong and living throughout the modern world. In time, a new vision of government lighted the minds of those who embodied in our Con- stitution their ideal of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. After a long struggle, a government offering equal opportunity to all, a government whose watch-words were Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, was achieved. The philosophy of the brotherhood of man, a new idea to a world weary of class dis- tinction, was welcomed by the thinkers of the age. They foresaw a better and happier world; every inch gained brought man a little nearer the Utopia of their ultimate hopes. But the vision of perfection in law and government was not the only or the greatest vision the world has known. In the Middle Ages, a spirit of faith and wor- ship pervaded all Christendom. The great cathedrals — sculptured music, poetry in stone — were built, and Europe put on her white robe of churches. They remain today witnesses to the living faith which inspired their erection. Their spires rise toward Heaven like prayers made visible. Ages have passed, but the cathedrals endure, an everlasting memorial to the vision of their builders. With the dawn of the Renaissance came new dreams. Discoverers and explorers, led by a vision of lands yet unknown, left the security of home to sail the trackless oceans. Columbus ventured beyond the Azores, beyond the Gates of Hercules, his faith in undiscovered countries conquering the fear and superstition of the ages. He gained a ' world! He gave that world its grandest lesson. On, sail on! Ninety-four Consider, too, the wonder and triumph in the hearts of the Spanish explorers, when, weary and discouraged, they mounted a peak in Darien and, speechless, beheld the limitless stretches of the blue Pacific. Even as explorers enlarged the world, great humanitarians improved it. There have always been men whose ideal has been to leave the world a better place than they found it. Many great souls have helped their own age and posterity by human- itarian and social work. Pasteur, the pioneer in modern bacteriology, made con- tributions to man ' s physical health and well-being that revolutionized the science of medicine. Ridiculed by his contemporaries, he rose far above their scorn. Today he remains one of the greatest benefactors of humanity, whose vision now lights the entire world. Another pioneer in this field was Walter Reed, who offered himself as a sacrifice in order that disease and ignorance might be conquered. The history of medicine abounds with stories of brave men and heroic sacrifice. The missionary life also has its honor-roll of heroes. Father Damien, his heart full of sympathy and compassion for the wretched lepers of Molakai, willingly as- sumed a life of desolation and the certainty of a slow and horrible death. Even when he fell a victim to leprosy, his inspiring vision of aiding the hopelessly unfortunate grew brighter and stronger. Today, Belgium, his native land, is paying honor to his memory, for Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend. Father Damien is only one of the many brave missionaries who lost their lives to find them. The humanitarians made the world better; the artists have made it more beau- tiful. They have given it a blessed legacy of beauty and sweetness, making for man ' s happiness. In the fine arts — poetry, music, painting — we fi.nd this magic gift. Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Eastern countries, each has made its individual con- tribution to the world ' s treasury of beauty. The artists of the Renaissance reawakened the world with their exquisite paint- ings, their lovely landscapes, their beautiful Madonnas. Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, and many another have left a priceless heritage of the splendor and glory which their souls beheld. Music has inspired men from earliest times. We read of Timotheus and of St. Cecilia; by the magic power of music he raised a hero to the sky, she drew an angel down. ' ' Who can fail to appreciate and be stirred by the surging majesty of a Beetho- ven symphony, the indescribable beauty of a Wagnerian opera? Closely allied to Music is its sister art. Poetry. All true poets have an under- standing deeper, broader, and truer than that of other men. How often the clear vision and human sympathy of a poet have cheered and uplifted a lonely heart! It may have been Shakespeare with his keen perception of life, his strange insight into the soul of man, and his wise philosophy. It may have been Milton, with his austere idealism and epic grandeur. Or we may with Longfellow say, Read from some humbler poet Whose songs gushed from his heart, As showers from the clouds of summer Or tears from the eyelids start. Such songs have power to quiet The restless pulse of care. And come like the benediction That follows after prayer. Each of us if we would live truly must have vision. By its magic light we shall see a world full of loveliness, not only the loveliness of Nature, but the greater beauty of goodness, kindness, and truth. Then drab existence will be transformed into in- spired living; then shall we have manna for the soul. Let us never lose the vision splendid, for where there is no vision the people perish.

Treasurer THE SELF-GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The Self-Government Association this year celebrates its tenth anniversary as an organization in the college. In recognition of their status as collegians and as intelligent adults, the privilege of self-government was conferred on the students. A decade of distinguished success, with harmony and efficiency, bears witness to the wisdom of this action. The keynote of the Self-Government Association has always been cooperation, — a fact of which its members have ever been mindful. Nor do they forget that the success of this organization has been due largely to the tireless and unselfish efforts of its officers and the vital interest and wise counsel of Dr. Ken- nedy, Dean Linehan, Miss Sallaway, and the faculty members of the Council — this year Dr. Kerrigan and Dr. Burnce. Many of the college activities are carried on under the auspices of the Self-Gov- ernment Association. The social year opens with a tea and reception at which the Freshman are formally presented to the Faculty by their Sister-class, the Juniors. One hundred four LAMPAS 1956 SENIOR COUNSELLORS Marion Wagner Ethel Goes Mary Carmody Dorothy Cohen Pauline Lapidus Sylvia Fox The charm and dignity of this occasion are repeated in the Self-Government Association ' s two outstanding contributions to the College social calendar — the Christmas Promenade, a formal dance in the true holiday spirit, and the Annual Dance and Reunion in the Spring, at which the Association welcomes back its former members. The Self-Government Association is active in the intellectual life of the College, also. During National Education Week, it conducts a series of assemblies in which a representative of each class speaks on some phase of education. Again, on the annual Self-Government Day, the Association presents an inspiring assembly at which student speakers develop an appropriate theme and relate it to various phases of life today. Many minor events important to our college life, such as teas, parties, and a luncheon and convention in February, are sponsored by the Association. The Class of 1936 may well be proud of Ruth Van Ness and Patricia Lyons, the charming, unselfish, and competent President and Vice-President whom it con- tributed to the list of distinguished officers of the Self-Government Association.

Treasurer Faculty Advisers Nearly twenty years ago, a group of kindergarten-primary students, realizing the needs of many of the children in the schools throughout the city, organized, in the old Boston Normal School, a club to give material help. From small beginnings the organization has grown throughout the years, until now the Welfare Club, its membership comprising all the faculty and students of the college, is able generously to fulfill its blessed task of aiding the less fortunate. The Club, understanding that children do better scholastically when they are well-nourished, warmly clad, and free from remediable physical defects, strives to achieve the realization of these happy conditions by supplying many children with a daily supply of milk, with shoes and warm clothing, and with eye-glasses. Many families that would otherwise spend a cheerless holiday are made happy each year through the efforts of the Club in furnishing Thanksgiving baskets. At Christmas time the Club, with the assistance of the faculty children, is able to play Santa Claus to many boys and girls who might without this help lose faith in the age-old story. Our reward? — Far greater than a monetary one! It lies in the heart-felt thanks, in the happy smiles, and in the improved physical condition and scholastic standing of those to whom we have rendered assistance. The members of the Club may well be proud of their work, for they have remembered the words Faith, Hope, and Charity, these three, — but the greatest of these is Charity. One hundred six LAMPAS 1936 RITA MULROV ELINOR CULLEN LUCY E. CONDON JUNIORS THE JUNIOR CLASS Pray when do the gay young Juniors find time to study? We staid and steady Seniors can only gasp as we watch them fly with increasing energy from one activity to another. And still -we gaze, and still our wonder grows as we see them not only enthusiastically busy, but accomplishing tremendous tasks with apparent ease and unconcern. Surely w e o-we a tribute to leaders w ho can inspire such effort, and who have so much fun doing it. It would be hard to find a class able to compete with the Juniors in friendliness, liveliness, or accomplishment. We are forced to confess our- selves somewhat envious of this happy group, but we pass on to them the proverbial torch, not only without misgivings, but with confidence that the flame will be kept burning brightly. One hundred seven 936 LAMPAS VIRGINIA DAV13 ETHILL O ' BRIEN SOPHOMORKS THE SOPHOMORE CLASS As adversity strengthens the soul, so keen competition has strengthened the Sophomore Class; for out of the exciting struggle of their last election, they emerged with flying colors, a promising future, and thoroughly capable and responsible leaders. It has always been a mystery that each succeeding class seems to start on its road toward success where its predecessors left off. At this rate we may be prepared for the early arrival of the millenium. These precocious Sophomores have absorbed all the spirited determination, vigor, and joie-de-vivre of the illustrious Juniors. We tremble to think that some day they may even put to shame a no less imposing body than the Seniors themselves. As it is, if a girl is the life of the party, if she ' s bubbling over with exuberance, if she radiates personality, confidence, and independence, hat ' s off! — she ' s a Sophomore (provided, of course, she isn ' t a Senior). Our parting cheer to our sister class then, — En avant.

Moreover, whole-hearted cooperation is by no means the only commendable trait to be found in our youngest group. Even at this early stage they have shown exceptional independence and initiative. With firm self-confidence they set about to conquer the world in general and in particular those never-to-be-forgotten pages of Hayes and Moon. Their wisdom and energy have not been confined to scholarly pursuits, however, but have been evident in their choice of leaders and in the lively interest shown in college gayeties. It is trite to say that they have great promise, and even more trite to exhort them to continue the good work. Yet they must have heard that repetition is the mother of learning, and also that Seniors ar e privileged to preach. So we leave them with the advice which they so often have tried to recite with the proper inflection, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield!

The Club aims to disseminate knowledge of plant and animal life nor only to the college students, but also to pupils throughout the Boston school system. Information about aquaria and terraria, and supplies for setting them up, may be obtained by any school. The Club ' s yearly program includes lectures by people of prominence in the world of science; trips to scientific laboratories, such as the Harvard observatory; and field trips for the gather- ing of mosses, lichens, and other materials. The annual exhibit at the Flower Show is one of the major events of the year. The Club displays water-plants, terraria, dish gardens, and desert gardens. The proceeds from the sales of supplies, and the money prizes won at the Flower Show enable the Club to furnish scientific books for the Lillian J. MacRae Memorial Library. For those who are interested in the beauties and wonders of aquatic life, the Aquarium Club provides an attractive means of gaining knowledge in this branch of science.

In the pleasant atmosphere of the bi-monthly meetings in the studio, work representing various phases of art, appreciative and creative, is undertaken. In addition to the interests pursued within the Club, the members take part in many activit ies of the college promoted by the Cooperative Arts Group. On such occasions as Hallowe ' en, Thanksgiving, and St. Valentine ' s Day, the Art Club adds to the color and artistry of seasonal productions. Christmas gives the Club an opportunity for presenting a religious tableau, which is considered one of the most beautiful and inspiring presentations given in the College. The Art Club sales of attractively designed hand-blocked Christmas cards and of other handiwork of the members are events eagerly awaited by students and faculty alike. In these interesting ways, the Art Club fosters the talents and avocations of its mem- bers. All in all, the members agree that the Art Club is one of the most interesting and beneficial organizations in the College.

Its popularity- is due to the variety of activities it offers for the interest and enjoyment of every girl. Basketball, captainball, and baseball are our most popular sports. Each year at the close of the season inter-class competition is held in these games. One of our most important events is the Annual Game Meet. The enthusiastic attendance and the cheers and songs which are composed for the occasion attest to its widespread appeal. As Freshmen, the Class of 1936 was the happy and proud winner of the Game Meet and this did much to elevate us in the eyes of the upper classmen. As Sophomores we lost by one-and-a-half points! For outside activities we participate in hiking, bowling, ice-skating, swimming, roller-skating, and bicycling. Houghton ' s Pond and Cedar Hill have been the scenes of several never-to-be-forgotten hikes. Who can forget the glorious skating at Cedar Hill or the happiness and content as we sat around the fire in the Bowling Alley feasting on toasted frankforts and hot cocoa? Our final meeting is in the form of a gala party at which our members show their talent as entertainers. At this meeting the Class of ' 36 leaves the A. A with the hope that the under-classmen will carry on the interest and enthusiasm which have aWays made the Club so successful. We shall all recall the happy hours of play, hours spent ■with our classmates in defeat and victory; but above all we shall remember what the A. A. stands for, — clear thinking, faithfulness, honesty, and courage. One phrase sums up all we have learned — Good Sportsmanship.

Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Although only in the second year of its existence, the Biology Society has grown and flourished beyond the greatest expectations of its founders. It has rapidly achieved a prominent place among the extra-curricular activities of the college, for it serves as an excellent outlet ior scientific interest and expression, as well as a splendid in-let to replenish the treasury. Whether we really become very serious and technical as we follow a detailed lecture on The Evolution of the Secondary Xylem, or merely amuse ourselves by running around busily with tea kettles and coffee urns, there is always something so vital about the Biology Society that an uninterested member is a rare or non-existent creature. Of course, the annual Biology Sale was by far the activity of the year. We did not limit ourselves to beautiful bowls of narcissi, delicately-scented sachets, or delicious cakes and tempting candies. No indeed we presented handsomely stuffed elephants, cunning little red hens, and win- dow-sill gardens beautiful enough to bring spring to any classroom. If even a germ of truth exists in the trite proverb, Nothing succeeds like success, we guarantee that the Biology Society has many more joyous, prosperous years awaiting it.

En las reuniones se habla espanol y asi, divirtiendose, las socias aprenden a hablar con mayor facilidad y gusto la lengua que han de ensefiar. Los programas son interesantes y variados. Hay conferencias sobre viajes, estudios en Espana, u otro asunto. Este ano una de las mas interesantes fue la de la senorita Reardon, antigua alumna de esta escuela, que conto sus experiencias en San Sebastian durante el verano de 1935- Este ario tambien celebramos en la asamblea general de la escuela el tercer centenario de la muerte de Lope de Vega, con un pro- grama muy aplaudido escogido de sus obras poeticas y dramaticas. Ofrecimos selecciones calculadas a ilustrar el genio prodigioso de Lope en la comedia chispeante y divertida, sus agudas observaciones sobre la vida y las costumbres de su tiempo, su gran talento lirico, y su idealismo. Ademas, hay a veces tertulias, con juegos de naipes, conciertos, visitas al Museo de Bellas Artes, juegos infantiles, comedias en un acto, y otras diversiones; y cada dos alios se representa una comedia mas importante, a la cual asisten los estudiantes de espaiiol de las escuelas de Boston. Asi aprendemos muchas cosas que no forman parte del curso regular de estudio, aunque si de la vida espaiiola. Nos divertimos mucho y cultivamos al mismo tiempo el gusto a las cosas espanolas.

President First Vice-President Second Vice-President . Treasurer Secretary Faculty Adviser The happy memories of the Anniversary Year (1934-1935) of the Classical Club brought about a change in its membership. The Alumnae, who were associate members in the past, have become regular, active members, attending and taking part in the meetings. In this way the aim of the Club, to promote good fellowship be- tween the college students and the teachers in service, has been more fully realized. The program for the year centered about a deeper knowledge of Horace, whose birthday in December was celebrated with an Assembly in which for the first time many were introduced to the genial, lovable poet, who has lived in the hearts of men for two thousand years. In November, Miss Munroe, a guest speaker, gave an illus- trated talk on her interesting experiences on the Horatian cruise. Other meetings throughout the year presented Horace to the Club members in many different and entertaining ways. Other activities of the Club included the presentation in December of an im- pressive liturgical play celebrating the coming of the Magi, and lectures by Mr. Mc- Kenny on The Classics in Radio and by Dr. Kennedy on Roman Coins. The climax of the year was the annual banquet, which proved once more the value of the Classics as a bond of fellowship. One hundred seventeen 936 LAMPAS THE COMMERCIAL CLUB Rita Le Roy ' 36 . Carolyn Dacey ' 37 Margaret Kelley ' 36 . Florence Rooney ' 37 • Miss Regan, Mr. Bitzer Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Advisers We are honored that the formation of the long-awaited Commercial Club took place during our senior year. Our graduates, both those working here for their graduate degree and those who are now teaching as substitutes, are regular members, as well as the seniors and juniors of the Commercial Department. The substitute- teacher group, which includes the Misses Cassone, O ' Neill, M. Thompson, W. Thompson, Rodgers, and Yurenas, gave us enlightening accounts of their teaching experience, which we feel sure will assist us in our own efforts and prevent some errors in our teaching. As the main object of our meetings during the year, we sought information about those aspects of our future work which were little known to us. At our first meeting, Mr. Fish, the Director of Commercial Education, spoke to us of the history and status of commercial teaching in Boston. At the January meeting. Dr. James E. Downey, Head Master of the High School of Commerce, gave us a talk upon the commercial training of boys. Other speakers contributed very helpful in- formation concerning the teaching of secretarial machine work in college, in a cor- poration school, and in a private business school. In membership, enthusiasm, and the earnest cooperation of the commercial students and their faculty advisers, we consider our Club ' s first vear to have been crowned with success.

President First Vice-President Second Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Advisers The Drama Club offers to its members varied means of exercising their talents and satisfying their desire for aesthetic expression and entertainment. The meetings are not formal, but every second and fourth Monday those girls who desire to enjoy themselves and help entertain others assemble in Collins Hall. As the Club is a part of the Cooperative Arts Course, every girl, — whether she desires to make scenery, to act, to direct, or to write plays, — has a chance to exercise her particular gifts. Each meeting of the Club is made interesting and different. At Thanksgiving time, the first open meeting, — a Harvest Festival, — is held. Here many novel and original ideas are carried out. The Drama Club, with the assistance of the Art and Music Clubs presents the Christmas Assembly, which is considered by all members of the college, to be one of the most beautiful and inspiring productions of the college year. The Other Shepherd was the play given last Christmas. An annual Valentine party, a gay spring meeting, and various holiday celebrations, combine to make each year outstanding in the history of the Club. The most important production of the Club is its biennial reproduction of a Shakespearian play, — an event eagerly looked forward to. With the presentation of The Taming of the Shrew in May of this year, the Drama Club has brought to a successful climax a season of valuable work and play. One hundred nmsteen 936 LAMPAS THE ENGLISH CLUB Mary T. Coppinger ' 36 Josephine S. Silbert ' 36 Lillian Kantrovitz ' 37 Dorothy A. Martin ' 38 Mrs. Guilford, Miss Brennan Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Advisers The charm of tea-table companionship, the warmth of congenial conversation, the pleasure of stimulating entertainment contribute to the popularity of the English Club. The members of the Club have always had the opportunity of hearing dis- tinguished guests speak on literature and allied subjects, but this year we were able to share with the entire college the pleasure of hearing Miss Mary L. Guyton, State Supervisor of Adult Alien Education, speak on Basic English. The Club also invited all the students to its traditional Christmas presentation of the Second Shepherd ' s Play, in which the members reproduce not only the story itself, but the spirit of medieval miracle plays. Original writing is encouraged by the Club, and one of its most de- lightful meetings is one at which the members read their own poetry, essays, short stories, or criticisms. Theatre parties, choral readings, literary games, and book re- views are a few of the additional activities by which the English Club enriches the experience of its members.

Selon la coutume de jouer une piece tons les deux ans, nous avons presente, au mois de decembre, la comedie contemporaine, Poil de Carotte, par Jules Renard. Les membres qui ont tenu les roles ont pu perfectionner leur accent tout en se diver- tissant. En somme, cette annee nous a ofFert des reunions agreables, des membres enthousiastes, des heures de camaraderie cordiale, de sorte que les seances de notre Cercle Frangais tiendront toujours une place speciale parmi les bons souvenirs de notre vie a Teachers College. One hundred twenty-one 936 LAMPAS THE GEOGRAPHY CLUB . President Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer G. Ruth Colchester ' 36 Mary B. Hutchinson ' 37 Eva M. McLeod ' 37 Ann C. Flinn ' 37 Miss Driscoll Our club should be called the Travel Club, or, better still, the Sight-seeing Club, for at each meeting we go vicariously on very interesting tours by means of maps and pictures. Places of interest along the way are described by members of the faculty and our own students who have been fortunate enough to spend their vaca- tions traveling. Another way we travel is by moving pictures usually of lands we have always longed to see. ' ' These pictures are interpreted and made more interesting by our Adviser, Miss Driscoll. We also give the club members an opportunity to participate in the meetings by devoting one or two meetings each year to the dis- cussion of current events. Instead of joining the navy to see the world, the students of The Teachers College join the Geography Club. One hundred twenty-two LAMPAS 936 A M ' THE HISTORY CLUB History hath trimnphed over time. Eileen Donovan ' 36 . M. Geraldine Sullivan ' 37 Mary Connolly ' 39 . Angelina Gramolini ' 38 Miss Hubbard . President Vice-President . Treasurer Faculty Adviser The History Club has meant much to its members during their four years in the College. History has been presented to those who attended the meetings as a dra- matic pageant of life through the ages. We have considered history at many different periods and places from ancient time to the present. At our Christmas meeting, we learned of Christmas customs throughout the ages; in November our members bur- lesqued the landing of the Pilgrims and various scenes from early American life. At our January meeting, we considered current history in the making, when Mr. Daniel O ' Leary gave a most vivid and dramatic talk on the Present Day Situation in Ethiopia, — a topic of general and timely interest. This year in February, as always, the History Club presented an Historical Assembly, commemorating the birthdays of our two greatest statesmen. Our minds wander back to other years with the Club: to Miss Heartz ' s talk on ancient England; to our meetings with the Classical Club; to our debates; to our open meeting in the Junior year, when Dr. W. J. Macdonald told us of his experiences in the East during the War. We have had lectures, slides, dramatizations, projects; each has been valuable to us in a different way, and each has helped to make history live. We are sure that long after we have been graduated, the History Club will continue to enrich the lives of its members with knowledge and appreciation of times, past and present, and of human nature then and now . One hundred twenty-three 936 LAMPAS MATHEMATICS SOCIETY Elsie McHale Helen Hartford ' 34 . Shirley Abelow ' 36 Ruth Schifferdecker ' 38 Mr. Vosburgh Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Adviser Do you know how small your chances are for receiving the ' ' perfect ' ' bridge hand? Do you know where the superstition against seating thirteen at dinner originated? You do if you belong to the Mathematics Society! Annual reports by the graduates of previous years on their theses bring to the members of the Club odd bits of informa- tion and sidelights on many phases of mathematics. A different speaker at each meeting heightens the interest and ensures a full attendance. Chief among the speakers this year have been Professor D. J. Struik of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Professor E. V. Huntington of Harvard. Professor Struik gave his impressions of the school systems in Mexico, Holland, and Russia. Professor Hunt- ington, by means of graphic slides, pointed out fallacies in the present system of representation in Congress and propounded a simple way of correcting this much- discussed evil. Moving pictures presented by Mr. Hennessey and available for use in teaching geometry made that subject clearer and more interesting even to many who have been teaching geometry. Another interesting feature of each year ' s pro- gram is the presentation by the Juniors, in costume, of an original historical sketch portraying the life and achievements of one of the great mathematicians. In May comes the annual banquet. Good company, good games, and good food result in silent vows to rejoin the Mathematics Society next year. One hundred twenty-jot LAMPAS 1936 THE MUSIC CLUB Kathleen G. Oxley ' 36 Marie H. B. Michaels ' 37 Eleanor Dwyer ' 39 Beatrice Flashner ' 38 Miss Brick . . President Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Adviser The Music Group of the Cooperative Arts Course, consisting of about fifty- active members, has met during the year on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month under the guidance of Miss Brick. The meetings were generally occupied with rehearsing the various programmes presented during the year. Although the Club has cooperated with its sister organizations on many occasions, it has also made independent contributions to the college activities. Most of these presentations took the form of incidental music for the various assemblies of the school year. At the two most important club activities of the year, the Christmas Assembly and the dramatic presentation, the Club gave incidental music, thus adding the pleasure which only music can offer. A concert was given also at the Alumnae Tea in Collins Hall. Probably the greatest contribution came in the Spring, when the Club presented its Assembly in Music Week. Then the members were given an opportunity to dis- play their individual talent in a programme of solos and duets. Through the year the Club has proved itself an organization capable of giving something worth while to the College and has maintained its usual high standards. One hundred twenty-fiv 936 LAMPAS THE SCIENCE CLUB Science for Service . ' ' Margaret O ' Leary ' 36 Louise McLeod ' 37 Mary Carmody ' 36 Florence McCarthy ' 36 Mr. Quinn . President Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Adviser The aim of the Science Club is to develop an appreciation of science, a branch of knowledge especially essential in the rapid progress of modern times. Since its in- ception, the Club has become a flourishing organization. The meetings, which are both professional and social, widen the scientific horizons of the members. Mr. Quinn ' s talk on infra-red photography introduced a new field of interest. A lecture by Mr. Ford on the geological history of Boston and its surroundings was instructive as well as fascinating. Dr. Finn delivered a profitable lecture on the recent epidemic of infantile paralysis. The Club ' s activities are extended to practical observations. The inspection of soap and rubber factories gave us a better understanding of the practical applications of science. The climax of the Club ' s activities for the year was the dramatization of the events leading up to the invention of wireless. Science, which is so closely connected with the ordinary affairs of life, has captivated public interest, and the Science Club strives to supply its members, and indirectly the public, with worthwhile satisfaction of this interest. The members have many pleasant memories of club meetings. May the association continue to grow and prosper. One hundred twenty-six LAMPAS 936 THE STRING ENSEMBLE Viola .........

The Club began rehearsals at the first of the college year and continued its practice until June. The first public appearance of the Ensemble came during Education Week, when it played selections daily before and after the Assembly. Later, in November, at the Tea given by the Teachers College Alumnae Association, the Ensemble took part in the musical program and also played during the Tea. At the Christmas As- sembly the Adeste Fideles and Nazareth were played. During the second semest er, the Ensemble contributed to the programme at several assemblies and took a prominent part in the Music Assembly which came during the celebration of Music Week. The Ensemble had also the honor of playing at the Commencement exercises. One hundred twenty-seven 936 LAMPAS GOLD IN THE HILLS or THE Cast Speaker of the Prologue .
