This was the parting message of Miss Shute to her classes, when she retired in June, 1937. She has exemplified these words in her life. From her we learned the beauty of service to little children. As a teacher, Miss Shute commanded our respect; as a guide, she won our faith; as a friend, she had our love.

J MRS. CUtLFORX) MISS HEAR.TZ. M - HENNE? FAC JLTY WALLACE CLARKE BOYDEN The Class of 1938 mourns the loss of Wallace Clarke Boyden, the dear and honored President Emeritus of the Teachers College. With his passing the world of education has been deprived of a zealous, progessive leader, while we, the students of the Teachers College, have lost a loyal, loving friend. His was a life rich and varied, noble and inspiring, ever devoted to the service of God and of his fellow men. Mr. Boyden was born eighty years ago in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. His mother, Isabella Clarke Boyden, had been a teacher at Wheaton Seminary, and his father, Albert G. Boyden, gave sixty-one years of service to the Bridgewater Normal School, of which he was principal for forty-six years. Thus the teaching profession was very dear to Wallace Boyden. After completing his course at the Bridgewater High School, Mr. Boyden entered the State Normal School at Bridgewater. His educational preparation was furthered by an additional four-year course at Amherst College, where he was honored academically as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, and socially as a member of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity. Mr. Boyden ' s outstanding career had its beginning in 1883, with his appoint- ment to the principalship of the Stoughton High School. This was the initial stage of his teaching life, a life which was to be devoted to the ideal of Education for Service. In 1 884 he left the Stoughton High School to become Head of the Depart- ment of Mathematics in Williston Seminary, Easthampton. In December, 1889, Mr. Boyden entered the educational system of the City of Boston. For eleven years he served as assistant master in the Boston Normal School, and in 1900 was appointed head-master. When in 1922 the Normal School was converted into The Teachers College of the City of Boston, Mr. Boyden was made head of the new college, — a position which he held until his retirement in 1929. For forty years he gave loyal, untiring devotion to Boston ' s Teacher Training Institu- tion. His zeal and idealism kept high the standards of service,- his kindness and sympathy were guides along the way. Mr. Boyden ' s interest did not lie only in the field of education, but extended into many realms. He held important positions in the Central Congregational Church of Newtonville, served as president of the Every Saturday Literary Club and of the Boston Congregational Club, and was a member of the Dalhousie Lodge of Masons of Newtonville, of the Friday Evening Club of Boston, and of the Twentieth Century Club. Fifty-two years of his full and active life were spent in happy companionship with his wife, Mabel Wetherbee Boyden, who shared his every interest. Early in the school year of 1935 we met for the first time this kindly man who had been the ' guide, philosopher, and friend of our predecessors, and who was to become a most vital and welcome part of our college life. It was our privilege and pleasure during our first three college years to greet many times our President Emeritus, who, led by his loyalty and affection for this institution, would return to address us at our college assembly or to enjoy and commend our social activities. The news of his death on the opening day of this school year filled us with great sadness, for we regarded Mr. Boyden not only as an inspiring leader but as a kind and loving friend. We shall never feel that he has gone from us, for even death cannot quench a spirit such as his. His spirit will continue to live — ever guarding and guiding the students of his beloved Teachers College. In the words of the poet, we feel that he — Serenely to his final rest has pass ' d; While the soft memory of his virtues yet Lingers, like twilight hues swhen the bright sun has set. Dorothy A. Martin. {22 } IN MEMORIAM WALLACE CLARKE BOYDEN President Emeritus September 8, 1937 2i } IN MEMORIAM ELLEN BEATRICE MAHANEY March 10, 1938 I heard the songs of Paradise, I saw the gate called Beautiful. Miss Mahaney was for ten years a valued member of the English Department of The Teachers College. An earnest student, a devoted teacher, a woman of high ideals and fine character, she gave to her classes not only thorough instruction but a noble example of faithful service. LAURA SUSANNA PLUMMER July 14, 1937 Sleep on O brave-hearted — that kindled the flame — To live in man kind is far more than to live in a name. For many years Miss Plummer was head of the Health Education Department of The Teachers College. Her straightforwardness was a result of her clear thinking; her kindly, understanding manner grew out of her great love of humanity and of her greater love of God. Her broad sympathy made her tolerant in judging others, although for herself she prescribed a rigid and inviolable code. Consequently, she acted honestly but without self-righteousness,- she spoke fearlessly but always with kindness. SENIORS OUR PARENTS With deepest love and gratitude we dedicate this most sacred page of our Lampas to our fathers and mothers. May we ever hold before us the vision of their ideals,- may we be worthy of their implicit trustl May our lives fulfill their fondest hopesl {2Q } BARBARA MARIE AMES Her ready wit and cheery smile Proclaim to all a friend worthwhile. Barbara is one of the most friendly and sociable girls in our class. Her ability to see and enjoy the humorous aspect of things brightens everything she touches. She is a master of the art of pleasant banter. Her frank and amusing way of saying exactly what she thinks is refreshing and entertaining to her classmates. Generosity, sympathy, and loyalty are characteristics which mark Barbara as a worthwhile friend. When there is work to be done, we see a serious Barbara with constancy of purpose and the ability to accomplish with thoroughness all tasks assigned to her. We wish her every success as a teacher.

One thinks of Myrtis as the girl who is always ready to help in any situation. _ Duties and responsibilities which others shun, she accepts without a murmur. She is blessed with a truly pleasant disposition. Unselfish- ness, cheerfulness, and sincerity are her outstanding qualities. As councillor of her section for four years, she has performed her duties with an efficiency and pleasantness which are characteristic. In her quiet way she has won the hearts of all who know her. Kindergarten-Primary Course Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 35, ' 36, ' 37, ' 38),- Welfare Club (Chairman of Christmas Committee ' 36); Athletic Association; Le Cercle Francois; Music Club {27 } BARBARA LETITIA BACIGALUPO Her poise and dignity are beautiful to see. The ideal of a senior class president is well realized in the choice of the Class of 1938. With the power to lead, a willingness to follow when necessary, and a sense of humor delightfully intelligent, Barbara has brought to us great honor and glory. We marvel that she always had time to participate in the many phases of college life. As the Class of ' 38 goes loyally onward, it will maintain the ideals that its president has ever kept before it; they are but the noble qualities of her own fine character. Major: Geography Minor: History Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 35, Treasurer ' 36, Second Vice-President ' 37); Class President ' 38; Athletic Asso- ciation,- Geography Club; Science Club MARIE ALOYSE BARRY And like music on the waters Is thy sweet voice to me. Marie ' s quiet grace is the outward expression of a tranquil mind which blends study and fun with calm efficiency. Life ' s many surprises elicit a little chuckle of pleasure from Marie, who regards them with candid delight. Her cheering sense of humor has banished dull care far from the paths of her friends. If the past fore- tells the future, Marie ' s ever-ready smile and even temperament will win deserving popularity. As coun- cillor, Marie has accomplished the difficult feat of being always capable yet sympathetic in representing her section. So let ' s salute Marie, whose varied gifts have made her a charming companion of our college years!

Ruth is one of those fortunate people who have well-rounded personalities. Although her sociability is balanced by calm reserve, her intimate friends find her a delightful companion and an interesting conver- sationalist. She has a stimulating wit and a charming manner. To hear her tell one of her funny stories is to laugh in pure joy. Ready and willing to help when help is needed, faithful to even the smallest duty, Ruth is one upon whom we can always rely. Excellent in her work, sincere in her friendships, and broad in her understanding, she certainly merits success and happi- ness. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Aquarium Club; Commercial Club, Geography Club AILEEN ELIZABETH BROUGHAM There is no frigate like a book To take us miles away. Aileen ' s gift for understanding and truly appreciat- ing the beauty of poetry, as well as her ability to record her impressions in discriminating words, is much admired by those not so talented as she. Not only does Aileen write well, but she also discusses her literary enthu- siasms with spirit and eloquence. Her knowledge of Francis Thompson, of Hugh Walpole, and of Maurice Walsh indicates the variety of her reading and the quality of her taste. To listen to Aileen read her favorite selections is an experience to be remembered. In addition to her love for literature, Aileen has a deep and loyal love for her friends. All in all she is an in- teresting and distinctive personality.

Presenting our Rexie. For many reasons Regina is one of the most popular members of the Class of 1938. Many grateful friends will remember her as an encour- aging and helpful classmate. Her mind works with speed and clarity, whether she is engaged in solving an intricate accounting problem or indulging in spon- taneous repartee with her friends. Examinations and assignments have never been heavy or frequent enough to ruffle Rexie ' s calm and serene manner. At the close of her college course, Regina has a fine scholastic and social record, due to her alert mind and natural charm. Those of us who know Regina best are sure she will be as successful in teaching as she has been in college. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Athletic Association; Commercial Club Mrs. Ernest U ' J n AL VIRGINIA AGNES CADY A miniature of grace and loveliness If we combine personality, attractiveness, and in- telligence, we have Ginny. True indeed is the saying that good things come in small packages, for Virginia certainly embodies many good things. She has,, in addi- tion to her serious determination to do things well,, a cheery, winsome nature, and a gay, ready laugh. The many services she has rendered various committees and activities have been marked by a quiet efficiency and thoroughness which reveal her executive ability. Small though she is, her presence is never overlooked, for her personality and sociability immediately make her im- portant in any gathering.

Rita, — re-named Dede by her affectionate chums, — brings to us the sincerity and joy of living characteristic of a very active college girl. Her personality combines earnestness with a lively delight in the brighter side of life. Interest invariably follows Dede, — whether she is making announcements of A. A. activities or prosaically changing an automobile tire. Her rare gift of impromptu story-telling and her touching recitals of sentimental poetry have earned Dede a reputation as entertainer par excellence. Because of her genuine kindness, in- terest, and loyalty, Dede has won the respect of her classmates and the love of her friends. Maior: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club (Aide, ' 36); Athletic Association (President ' 38); Commercial Club RITA ANNE CARR To me more dear, congenial to my heart, One native charm than all the gloss of art Rita s gay insouciance and witty puns have enlivened many an otherwise dull moment in college, and also provided amusement for her fellow members of the Knitting Club. Her ability to quell the obstreperous with a word or a glance is an art in itself. Underneath her outward lightness, however, is a mind that is dis- tinctly original and refreshing in that originality. Her wide reading is a source of constant delight to her friends, and her intimacy with dark Rosaleen, Deirdre of the Sorrows, and Thomasheen James has led to many a lively and worthwhile discussion. And certainly we shall never forget Rita ' s portrayal of Mrs. Bishop in the Senior Play. Major: English Literature Minors: English Composition, English History Drama Club; English Club •131 } AfrsJj ' eLe.rt JT73 -Auer MARY VIRGINIA CARTY Music I heard with you was more than music. For a number of years Mary has walked, talked, and played with us. To her many acquaintances she is the quiet type of college girl,- to the Knitting Club — the member who looked best in wooden shoes. Hardly a day in college pcssed that Mary did not flourish a paper in our faces, asking, Have you read this yet? Thus she enlivened many a locker-room tea. And now she is ready to begin her professional work. We know that she will gladly teach, and her pupils gladly learn. Maior: Shorthand-Typewriting Minor: Accounting, Commercial Geography Athletic Association,- Commercial Club,- Drama Club ALICE FRANCES CASEY The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute Bright hair, bright smile, bright girl! Our Self- Government president is a happy blend of the approach- able dignity and unaffected cheerfulness which mark a capable executive. Alice has held so many offices in her educational career that efficiency has become second nature to her. But we ' re sure she was born with that optimistic outlook on life which renders her companion- ship an invigorating delight and her leadership a graciously-administered trust. Such a confident philoso- phy, combined with a flair for teaching, points to a promising future for our First Lady. Charming volubility and dramatic versatility are the endearing qualities that enrich a most kindly spirit, whose radiance has warmed us all. Major: English Minor: French Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 36, Secretary ' 37, President ' 38); Welfare Club (Aide ' 35); Drama Club; English Club,- Le Cercle Frangais {32 } ANNE ISABELLA CONNELLY And, oh, she has a singing heart, And a laughing, blithesome soul! Anne ' s zest for living has endeared her to a con- stantly widening circle of friends. To join this magic ring, brighten your sense of humor, polish your wit, and doff your cloak of pessimism. Intelligence is needed, too, for Anne can argue ably on subjects as diverse as Roman history and the latest stage success. And speak- ing of the stage, we are reminded of the Drama Club plays in which Anne so often took part. Her impetuous warm-heartedness and quick sympathy have cheered many of her classmates, who have not learned to meet the minor catastrophes of life, such as unexpected tests, with the philosophical equanimity that is Anne ' s en- viable possession. Major: American History Minors: Ancient History, European History Lampas Staff; Classical Club; Drama Club,- English Club; History Club; Music Club ELIZABETH MARY CRONIN What richer praise than this — that you alone are you? Betty is characterized by a rare and genuine sin- cerity which governs all her actions. Her modest man- ner, unobtrusive helpfulness, and true generosity of spirit have won her many lasting friends. She works quietly, unsparing of self and always thoughtful of others. Busy as she is, she always manages to find time to see the current movies. Her kind and unaffected manner, her sympathetic understanding, and her pleasant disposition make her a lovable and valued friend. Her efficiency, as evidenced by her capable chairmanship of the Cap and Gown and the Car-check Committees, gives assurance of future success. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Bookkeeping, Commercial Geography Commercial Club; English Club; Geography Club 133 } ELIZABETH FRANCES CUNNINGHAM Beneath the quiet calm of placid mien Lay depths of comradeship and laughter unexpressed. To disturb her dignified serenity is an impossibility — four years with Fran have convinced us of this. Her personality is enriched by a quick wit which has pro- duced many a bon mot for the delectation of her com- panions. Fran ' s friendship is of that comforting type we all appreciate. The mastery of French, which is Fran ' s academic distinction, bespeaks a studious disposition. However, Fran is not so preoccupied with scholarship that she lacks time to play, for we all know how much of her time outside of college is claimed by the theater. Major: French Minor: Spanish English Club; Le Cercle Francois LUCY LYONS CURLEY And gentle in manner they do things in a quiet way. Lou may appear to be one of the quiet, shy members of our class, but in reality she is a vital, active person. A versatile raconteur, she can amuse her friends by humorous remarks or particularly apt observations. This happy, carefree girl has an appealing elfin quality in her quick smile and ready wit. Her quiet, steady friendship is treasured by those who have gained it, and her gentle manner has endeared her to us all. May she continue to go happily on her way, always looking on the bright side of life.

Mary, unlike the Mary of Mother Goose fame, brings only her frank, charming self to school, — with results as interesting as they are often unexpected. In- terest in a wide variety of scholastic subjects has never prevented Mary from enjoying social life. Her unaf- fected gaiety has contributed to many a happy day, and the droll humor of her nonsense rhymes has upset more than one senior ' s pose of dignity and decorum. As a successful class officer, an enthusiastic athlete, and a discerning music lover, Mary has demonstrated her all-round ability. Major: English Literature Minors: English Composition, English History Class Secretary ' 37; Athletic Association; English Club; Music Club ANNA THERESA CUSSEN Lovely to look at, delightful to know In Anna s eyes there is a mischievous sparkle which belies her demure manner and reveals her sociable nature and her love of fun. No good time is complete without Anna, since she has the enviable talent of both giving and receiving pleasure at any social gather- ing. Nor does she ever lack an original idea for the next event on her varied program. In club activities she cooperates cheerfully, giving freely of her time and effort. Anna has combined work and play so well that she can truly be said to be getting the best from life. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Athletic Association; Commercial Club; Drama Club; Geogra- phy Club (Vice-President ' 37); History Club {35 } ANNA CARMELLA DAMIANO She hath a voice of gladness, And a smile and eloquence of beauty. Anna is one of the most sociable members of the class. Her ready sympathy and understanding are two reasons why her friendship is widely sought, and is highly valued by those who possess it. Even Anna ' s candor is a source of constant pleasure to those who come into contact with her. Dark eyes merry with mirth and shining with delight often belie a countenance she attempts to make serious when the occasion seems to call for solemnity. No one could wish for a more cheerful, sincere companion. A flashing smile, spon- taneous laughter, and gracious manner all have a share in Anna ' s personality. Major: English Minor: Art Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 36); Lampas Staff; Art Club (Vice-President ' 37); Athletic Association, English Club (Vice-President ' 38); Music Club MARY ELIZABETH DAVEY Laughing eyes that bid the dance begin. Mary ' s quick, graceful figure can flash with equal ease through an exciting basket-ball game, or an in- tricate tap dance. During her college career, Mary has given generously of her entertaining ability. Although extra-curricular activities have absorbed much of her interest, she has always maintained a high standard of scholarship. Conscientious study of history has given her an excellent mastery of her chosen subject. Her sincerity of purpose and studious habits foreshadow a successful career in teaching. We only hope that Mary will illustrate the more tedious studies with a sample of her own dancing! Major: American History Minors: Ancient History, European History Welfare Club (Aide ' 36); Art Club; Athletic Association,- Geography Club; History Club {3u VIRGINIA LEE DAVIS Yours is the world and everything that ' s in it. To try to describe a girl who has held so many offices and responsible positions throughout her four years in college is no small task. In addition to her un- usual executive ability, Virginia has a fine mathematical mind which easily masters the trickiest of problems. But Ginny ' s serious nature is only one side of her per- sonality, her presence at college activities and social affairs is always desirable, not only because of her gay spirit but also her delightful sense of the ridiculous. We ask but one thing of her — that she never lose her sense of humor. Major: Mathematics Minor: Mathematics Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 35, Vice-President ' 38); Class President ' 36,- Athletic Association; English Club; Mathematics Society (Treasurer ' 38) LILLIAN BERNICE DEITCH Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play, Lillian smil ' d, and all the world was gay. If we were to enumerate the members of the class who come to mind immediately when we think of friend- liness and good cheer, Lillian would surely be one of the first. Her outstanding characteristic is a bright and sincere smile. Blue Mondays, late afternoon classes, dull weather — none of these can dim her spirits or disturb the tranquil course of her existence. Her class- mates recognize her as an all-round college girl, for she is ready at any time to assist as well as participate in the varied types of college activities. Her pleasant, refreshing personality will not easily be forgotten. Major: General Science Minor: Geography Athletic Association,- Le Cercle Francois; Geography Club; Science Club •(37 [CATHERINE MARY DELANEY A sweet attractive grace Although Kay ' s blond curls are superficially her most striking characteristic, her lovable nature far out- shines the beauty of her hair. Her pleasant disposition and earnest desire for the other person ' s welfare make her friendship of inestimable value. Kay typifies the ideal college girl. She is always exceptionally well-groomed, efficient in her work, lively and full of fun — the very best of company. We wish you the best of luck, Kay.

Her class- mates will long remember her cheery laugh and her pleasant disposition, which won for her an ever-increas- ing circle of friends. We shall always recall with plea- sure Anita ' s delightful rendition of Peter Pan at our Freshman Christmas Party, at which she showed her cleverness in dancing. Tap and toe dancing are two of the special arts with which she delights and amazes her audiences. Anita ' s ability, together with her charm, will bring her success in whatever she undertakes.

Mary is one of the most stimulating members of our class. She has achieved that rare roundness of person- ality, — namely, scholastic achievement harmonized with the joy of life. She has a vivacious spirit and a strong intelligence by which she defends her views at all times. Her intellectual independence is complemented by her efficiency and initiative. Then, too, her frank and humorous manner of relating her thoughts to her classmates has given us enjoyment during our four years in college. May Mary ' s guiding spirit continue to lead her friends into fields of happiness! Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Athletic Association; Commercial Club; Drama Club; History Club ROSE GLORIA Dl PASQUALE Heaven such grace did lend her, That she might admired be. Although she is quiet and reserved in manner, Rose is one of the friendliest of classmates and truest of friends. She is a girl of high ideals, who works con- scientiously toward her goal. Beneath her dignified appearance is a spirit of mirth which reveals itself in humorous imitations. Her sweet voice was heard to advantage in the operetta, The Gondoliers, given in our Junior year. Gracious, lovely, gifted — Rose has our best wishes for happiness and success.

To the girl with the dreamy hazel eyes, The winning smile, and the pleasant ways, The touch of humor, the sparkling wit That brightened the path of our student days — To the girl with the art of winning friends, The jolly pal, sincere and true, A wish that the years may bring to her Rich blessings ever bright and new! Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Bookkeeping, Commercial Geography Drama Club; History Club; Geography Club; Commercial Club (Treasurer ' 37); Athletic Association faMm MARY ELIZABETH DOWNEY Tho ' demure she may look, There ' s a twinkle in her eye. It is the twinkle in Mary ' s personality which makes her loved by all who know her. Her thoughtful expres- sion and serious manner do not conceal the ready laughter and sparkling humor which lie beneath the surface and break through at unexpected moments. She is a considerate friend who can always be depended upon to stand by with ready tact and sympathy. Though we tease her about her small stature, we gladly admit that her personality and achievements greatly overshadow it. Without Mary ' s willing ear and shy kindness we should have fared far less fortunately in our college years. Major: French Minor: Spanish English Club; Le Cercle Francais 4 40 } LILLIAN MICHAEL DRACOS Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others Lil is one o f the most industrious girls imaginable. She has the habit of utilizing every minute in her busy day, without ever giving the impression of rushing. Her cheerful manner and her enthusiasm for living have won her many friends. Gaiety and seriousness mingle to giveus a pleasant companion with whom we enjoy study- ing in our free hours, as well as sharing diversions outside of college. Although Lillian is too modest to believe herself worthy of praise, her classmates recog- nize and respect the fine qualities that will inevitably bring her success. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Athletic Association; Commercial Club; History Club LUCY FRANCES DWYER Quick of wit, warm of heart, lovable of nature Lucy is one of those quiet, reserved girls whose capabilities are often not appreciated at first glance. Although naturally of a retiring nature, she gradually became known for her lively wit and attractive per- sonality. She has the gift of striking a happy medium between intellectual seriousness and social gayety. Her achievements are the result of true ability, and her popularity is attested by her large circle of friends. We may forget some of our college mates, but we can never forget Lucy whose charm is irresistible.

Who is Bessie? What is she that all her friends commend her? Oh, for a Shakespeare with his power to praise and appreciate! With his eye for contrast, he would delight in the synthesis of joy and seriousness in our Bess. ' ' She has skill in mathematics and wisdom in practical matters, as well as appreciation of the best in literature and art. She goes forward, — confident and clear-eyed — always seeing a fair vision ahead and beauty by the way. Vibrant and alert, — she is, as she deserves to be, — a happy person.

Small and dainty, Pearl has a quality of nimbleness which admirably suits her tiny stature. Majoring in commercial subjects, she has, by her active mind and quick fingers, brought honor to herself and to her teachers. Leaving her typewriter, she can play the piano with fluent grace. Though slow in extending friendship, she is loyal and generous in all her personal relation- ships. We all appreciate the flashing wit which has capped many a ludicrous situation. An honor student, she proves to us that good things really do come in small packages. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minor: Bookkeeping Art Club; Commercial Club; Le Cercle Francois,- Geography Club; History Club; Welfare Club 4 42 } ANNE FINKELSTEIN Poised and dignified is she, Yet full of fun as she can be. The first impression of tall, blond Anne is of her seriousness and dignity, but because of her faculty for making friends easily, one has to be with her only a short time to feel like an old friend. Another of her many fine qualities is her keen sense of humor, which she has shared with us through her entertaining anec- dotes and jingles. Scholastically, Anne stands very high in our class, and her willingness to cooperate and to lend assistance when needed has won for her the respect of her classmates. Because of her diversified interests and her ability to get along well with people, we feel that Anne is destined for ceriain success. Major: Mathematics Minor: General Science Lampas Staff; Mathematics Society DORIS MARIE FINN None but herself can be her parallel. Perhaps not even we who know Doris intimately realize the many sides of her personality. In Art Appre- ciation, her notebook showed real artistic ability. Some of her friends make it their hobby to collect her letters, which are masterpieces of dry, quizzical humor. Her fine executive ability is evidenced by the positions she has held in various clubs. Her sincerity as a friend and her cheerfulness as a comrade have endeared her to us all. We can say without hesitation that our lives have been enriched by her friendship. Major: History Minor: Geography Art Club; Le Cercle Francois,- Geography Club; History Club (Vice-President ' 37, President ' 38) U3 } MARY LOUISE FITZGERALD Eyes that sparkle and a life carefree, Yet sincere, with much vivacity Louise is one of those persons who combine charm, poise, and amiability. This dark-eyed, dark-haired lass with her happy smile has given us pleasant companion- ship. However, her smile and charm are but an intro- duction to her character. Generosity, sincerity, and intelligence combined with thoughtfuiness and unsel- fish ambition make her a true, loyal friend.

May Louise continue to go her way happily and steadily, radiating kindness and friendship. Major: Geography Minor: History Athletic Association,- Drama Club; Geography Club SHEILA JOSEPHINE FITZPATRICK Where all imperial glory shines, Of self-same color is her hair. Sheila — anything but argumentative herself — has been the unconscious cause of many arguments among her friends. The reason? The color of her hair, of course. The opinion as to its beauty is unanimous, but all our artistic powers are challenged when we try to define it in the prosaic terms of a color chart. Her hair is not the only intriguing thing about Sheila, however, for she has also a charming personality and an enviable ability to do everything well. That flashing streak which flew by you in gym on numerous occasions was un- doubtedly Sheila on her way to victory. Those who do not know her well are attracted by her lovely hair; those who do know her are won by her sweet, gay, and completely captivating nature.

Beatrice has a colorful and extremely likeable personality. Her sense of humor, her lively interest in others, and her ability to be serious when occasion demands make her a charming addition to any group. Her sparkling brown eyes and her bright expression show her alertness,- this wide-awake attitude is habitual,- it is characteristic of Bea. The rare combination of great talent at the piano and an ever ready, effer- vescent wit makes her a note-worthy member of our class. Her ability to listen and her sympathy and under- standing are traits of a true comrade and friend.

Some of us remember Mary ' s little-girl sobriquet, — Sunny. Never did a nick-name fit more aptly, for Mary ' s gleaming hair has a glow that matches the mischief in her eyes. With ready sympathy she will listen to your woes, while the unconquerable optimism of her spirit will communicate itself to yours. Her concern for others has made Mary an efficient councillor and an effective Athletic Club member. Sociability seems to be the magic key of Mary ' s personality — a treasure available to all kindred spirits. We salute the happy student, as generous with her natural talents as with her jollity.

A slim scintillating figure, equally poised in the Lab or on the stage — that ' s Marie, our talented leader in class and club activities. The exigencies of science and the varied demands of the Drama Club have never ' ruffled her serenity. Marie has so casually achieved a fine scholastic record, at the same time enjoying herself thoroughly, that lesser mortals gasp in amazement. But it is the pungent wit, the keen perception, and the sin- cere devotion to her friends that have made Marie one of life s greatest pleasures — a sympathetic, refreshing companion for one ' s every mood.

Her ability was shown in her work as this year ' s president of the Geography Club. The gay little twinkle of laughter shining in her eyes reflects a joy- ous disposition. Her love of the beautiful in art, litera- ture, and the drama serves to make her an engaging conversationalist. And who can forget the skill with which Dotty designs clothes!

By no means a solemn person, Gillie, as she is affectionately called, delights her companions by her sudden changes of mood, which show that a well-poised young lady may at times be a fun-loving comrade ready for a good time.

RITA ESTELLE GLEAVY Her path ' s a trail of beauty down the years, And where she steps the dust is touched with flame. Rita ' s tall, slender figure has graced many college affairs, from dignified Teas to exuberant gym games, and her exquisite grooming never lost an iota of its perfection. Unfailing in her generosity and reliability, Rita has been an excellent class officer. Her power to entertain her classmates with a continual series of amus- ing tales and clever comments has made her very desir- able socially. As to her avocations, how can we ever disassociate Rita from her car, with which she has so often and willingly helped her friends and her college!

Faye will always be remembered for the ease with which she managed her college career. Her happy spirit scarcely noticed the many trials that lie in wait for unwary students. A calm insouciance of manner and an irrepressible love of fun have guided her safely past all shoals. Fcye ' s quick mind and her ability to con- centrate have made her adept in science, leaving her, withal, ample time for the vigorous sports and the gay social affairs in which she delights. Her quicksilver speed in entering and leaving class accounts, perhaps, for the celerity with which she proceeds to enjoy the manifold interests of life. Major: Chemistry Minor: Physics Athletic Association; Drama Club,- Science Club ANGELINE STELLA GRAMOLINI A smile for every friend, a friend for every smile Here is a girl who is as vivacious as she is intelligent, one who has a spontaneous smile and abundant en- thusiasm.

Especially in a councillor these characteristics are appreciated, and Angie is the diplomat of S 3. Her poise and tact are invaluable aids in carrying out her work, and despite all difficulties she succeeds in remaining a wholly charm- ing person.

Florence is one of our high-ranking students whose scholastic ambitions have been uniformly realized. Her pleasant disposition and friendliness make her well liked by her class, and she has the distinction of being widely quoted. She is an energetic, conscientious, dependable student, and a quick and steady worker. What would our Accounting Class do without Florence? Although her days are filled with activities, she finds time to enjoy a good book. Was it our Music Apprecia- tion course that influenced Florence to become an ard- ent admirer of symphonic works? Here, indeed, is a girl whose mental and artistic interests will make life an interesting experience. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Commercial Club; Geography Club, History Club PHYLLIS MAE HARVIE A constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find.

She delights us all daily with humorous tales of her doings, making them so vivid that we feel they are our own experiences. Mirth and gaiety are not her only moods, however, for Phyllis can be serious when the situation demands,- but you may be sure that the seriousness will not last long.

Unusual depth of thought, unlimited literary background, a talent for enthusiastic leadership, and gay friendliness combine to form a unique personality. Anne ' s gift for expressing her thoughts in refreshing, vigorous prose or voicing them with originality and wit has the magic touch of genius which leaves her unrivalled in our eyes. With such in- tellectual brilliance Anne mingles a happy faculty for care-free enjoyment of life. As she has endeared her- self to us by her companionship and ability, so will the products of her pen achieve distinction in the years to come. Major: English Literature Minors: English Composition, English History Lampas Staff; Drama Club; English Club; Le Cercle Francois,- History Club HELEN FRANCES HIGGINS Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides For Helen life began at college and has continued at top speed ever since. Combining interest with ear- nestness, enthusiasm with ability, she has made her college career a triumph and a delight. As Junior Class President Helen effected a program as profitable as it was enjoyable. With like finesse and delicacy, she has contrived to make mischief-making an art, and merriment a habit. Whether it be in leading a grand march or in cooking her extraordinary waffles, Helen has a way of doing things differently — with an original- ity all her own. Thus we salute this laughing red-haired girl as the gayest of classmates and the finest of friends.

Her gentle voice and quiet demeanor have led many of Helen ' s classmates to think of her as a shy, unobtrusive person. A closer acquaintance reveals, however, a fun-loving girl whose subtle humor has en- livened many free hours in our college days. A faithful Welfare Club Aide since her entrance into the college, she has discharged her duties loyclly and zealously. She is a true friend, — one who makes all who meet her want to know her better. We who know her well consider ourselves fortunate in our friendship, which we hope will grow stronger as the years pass.

She is one of those rare persons who are able successfully to combine work and play. Her sense of humor and ready wit have helped El lie in many problems.

Nor would you have thought at the time that this talk would be the only one remembered by the group two years later. Betty is the envy of her friends and acquaintances because of the inimitable way in which she uses adjectives. When Betty appears we relax and expect to have an enjoyable time, — nor are we disappointed. In future days we shall recall with pleasure the many hours which were so much more vital and interesting because of Betty ' s presence.

She has an unerring sense of values and the ability to criticize thoughtfully,- she has also a rich fund of knowl- edge, gleaned from books and people. Rita is grave and calm, but not through inability to be gay. She can provoke appreciative chuckles with her terse comments, and when her sense of criticism goes hand in hand with her sense of humor, we have a rare brand of satire. Rita has the maturity of outlook and breadth of view which are the basis of scholarship.

Poise and self-confidence have been manifested in the efficient execution of her duties — whether as Chair- man of Junior Week, as Senior Speaker for Education Week, or as Vice-President of our Class. Moreover, her scholastic attainments have been of the highest order. Betty has reached the end of four splendid years, and we predict for her a starry future.

Her popularity is ample proof of her charming social graces and kindly understanding, for Betty has unaffected ease of manner, whether she is propounding a philosophic theory or dancing at a Prom.

Rita is the happy possessor of those qualities of mind and heart that inevitably attract friends. Her shy dignity is belied by the lurking smile which seems ready to welcome any amusing quirk in the day ' s routine. An inborn kindness finds expression in many thoughtful deeds designed to help her friends,- while an innate love of fun sometimes breaks forth in teasing comments. In this delightfully unexpected mixture of traits lies Rita s attractiveness. The keen observation which is such a vital characteristic in the historically-minded has made Rita a friend of good sense and good fellowship, for still waters run deep.

One cannot be long in Carrie ' s company without sharing her enthusiasm. Her bright eyes radiate vivacity, and her quick fingers express the love of music which is one of her most salient characteristics. Our finished pianist can, with little ado, slip into a Lab coat and perform her scientific tasks with ease and assurance. A capable, willing student, Carrie brings to her work dependability, self-reliance, and joyous zest. Her many responsibilities in college and outside activities have given her a business-like efficiency which will undoubtedly prove the key-stone of a successful career.

To very few mortals has the gift of a genius for friend- ship been vouchsafed by the jealous gods. But our tall, gracious Anne is one of those persons so blessed, as we could testify if only words were vivid enough to describe the warmth and sincerity of her kindly spirit. We have all delighted in her witty repartee and her humorous relation of the delightful adventures that ever befall Anne both in and out of college. Our poised Senior Secretary, who lends an aura of dignity to our social affairs, is the Anne whom we love for her enthu- siasm and zest, for the joy in life which she so generously shares with her friends.

Her graceful charm of face and figure are in strong contrast with the perseverance and ambition which characterize her scholarship. Dorothy ' s artistic ability and vivid imagination have created many an entertain- ing moment for our class, and her sense of fun is always guided by intuitive perception of the feelings of others. Dot ' s diligent application to her studies is most admir- able,- her ingenious use of leisure time is really enviable.

Blllie is one of the best known and best loved mem- bers of our class. Her personality has two distinct sides. The serious aspect of her character is evidenced in the eagerness she has shown in pursuing her educa- tional interests to their utmost boundaries. It is this seriousness and her cooperative spirit that mark her as an ideal teacher and classmate. The light, cheery side of her personality reveals itself in her charming manner as a social companion. Her keen sense of humor and her poise make her one of the most lovable members of our class. Kindergarten-Primary Course Vice-President ' 36; Lampas Staff,- Le Cercle Francois,- Music Club HELEN LOUISE OLEARY Kind tongue that never wounded, Sweet mirth that leaves no scar Helen ' s gentle manner and incomparable wit have endeared her to us all. Her happy expression is the outward evidence of her calm and lovely nature. What a precious part of our college life she has been — she who is so warm in sympathy, so true and loyal in friend- ship! One of our chief sources of delight is Helen ' s literary creations. The artistic gems which flow so easily from her pen have caused us either to laugh gleefully at their uniaue turns of humor, or to listen in silent ad- miration to their charming poetical expression.

We all admire her for those characteris- tics which have earned for her the title of a good companion. Millie has not only a friendly disposition but a charming appearance. With her interesting and original conversation, Millie, according to her friends and classmates, merits the laurel for comradeship.

This young lady, familiarly called Winnie, is the possessor of many charming moods. A happy moment in our lives is when Winnie reveals her store of humor and quick wit, and casts a spell of lightheadedness over her listeners. Not only is she an able dispenser of mirth, but like all true friends, she gives genuine understanding and help to all needing aid. Her sympathy is never maudlin but is tempered with wisdom, sincerity, and true warmth. Winnie ' s popularity and leadership is not limited to the class, but extend throughout the whole college, as we have seen in her activities in the Athletic Association where, since her Freshman days, she has held executive office. Impulsive, frank, and unafraid — Winnie is a friend never to be forgotten, but always to be cherished in our hearts.

Since then, knowing that whatever she undertook would be conscientiously executed, we have availed ourselves of her leadership in many of our activities.

Her sense of humor is keen and ap- preciative, tending more to the quiet than to the boister- ous. She is generous in her consideration for others, with kind words or unselfish praise for her classmates. These endearing qualities, together with faithful and conscientious devotion to her work, augur well for her future as a teacher and for her success in solving the problems of life.

Herlihy, President, State Teachers College, Fitchburg •{86 OUR TIMES (with apology to Mark Sullivan) being a history in four volumes of the years 1934 to 1938 Volume l The Birth of a Class 1934-1935 On a memorable day in September, 1934, a group of explorers arrived at the Teachers College. After being tested to discover whether or not their culture was of high enough degree to warrant their establishing a settlement at said institu- tion, and having been pronounced worthy, these Freshmen were left to the ravages of their first, not New England, but Teachers College winter. Since they were pioneers in an intellectual land, instead of spending their energies in raising Indian corn and building log cabins, they devoted themselves to mastering the techniques of arriving at the Model School on time, of procuring a Hayes on the eve of theexamination, andofkeeping on handa stockofmythical well- balanced breakfasts. The severities of this critical period were mitigated by the kindness of the natives of the place,- however, one group, those who had settled here only two years before, although they sometimes gave superb parties, yet at other timss took pleasure in inflicting tortures on the newcomers. A permanent form of government was es- tablished under the leadership of Anne Phillips, Marie Fortunati, Ann Norton, and Virginia Cady, as duly elected officers. Prestige came to the Freshmen through the splendid dramatic performance presented at the Christmas party for the Faculty children. Here the Freshmen assumed the characteristics of Book-Land ' s people, and such Pinocchios and Blackbirds had never before been seen! The first Critical Period in their history came during the last two weeks of January, 1935. The forces of English Composition, Health Education, and History were pitted against the brains of the Freshmen. However, the latter admirably survived the daily three-hour campaign. After the peace treaty was signed, and duplicates were delivered for proud parents to study, the Freshmen turned their minds to purposeful pleasure, for they believed in the proverb, In time of Freshman- hood, prepare for Seniority. Therefore, on April 26th, the celebrated Freshman Frolics of 1935 were presented. Soon followed the second of the Wars, now in the heat of June. Again, the Freshmen emerged victorious, and celebrated the victory at a delightful dance at the Woodland Country Club. The close of the year marked an epoch in Freshman his- tory. They had established a firm foothold, and were now ready to grapple with the problems, not of Westward Expansion, but of the Sophomore Year. Volume II — The Progressive Movement 1935-1936 Since a decision had been handed down from the Throne of Justice at 1 5 Beacon Street saying that the schools would delay their opening until October 1st, the new Sophomores returned on that day to begin a series of hurried visits to the Arboretum and other places where wild flowers might be gathered. The famous campaign of 1935 soon followed, and these students were elected to the high offices in the land: Virginia Davis, Ethel O ' Brien, Virginia Cady, and Anne Laverty. Under the direction of the committee on Foreign Affairs, the Sophomores entertained the new Freshmen at a party on October 24th, at which the renowned Elida Ballet and other well-known celebrities performed. 4 87 } The Committee on Domestic Affairs, of which every Sophomore was a member, controlled most of the activities of this grueling period. The events under their juris- diction consisted of weekly Biology Tesis, occasional meetings with the Victrola in Room 46, desperate conferences with an arch-enemy named Manly, and the regular operation of more than one hundred hand-printing presses that turned out descrip- tions of artistic works, from the Sphinx to the modern mural. Then the Secretary of the Treasury announced that to keep the budget bal- anced it would be necessary to float some kind of bonds. This situation was met by an event unprecedented in the history of the College, a roller-skating party held in the gymnasium on April 9th. The money just rolled in and gave evidence of the ingenuity of these who controlled Sophomore destinies. The Sophomores then turned their attention, if not their steps, to the Arboretum, the Aquarium, and the Natural History Museum. This was indeed a time of high cultural development, for they spent hours view- ing Van Gogh, listening to the Philharmonic, and surveying, with the proverbial bird ' s eye, the literature of England and America. The period was so full of intel- lectual achievement that it is impossible to record it within the limits of this volume. The reader is therefore referred to the desk-drawers of any member of the Class of 1938 to consult the many notebooks made by these students. The social background of 1936 culminated in a most successful dance, held in collaboration with the Freshmen at the Wellesley Country Club. No historian can deny that this was a Progressive Era. Volume III— The Rise to Power 1936-1937 The Class of 1938 returned to the College in September, 1936, with as much dignity and distinction as any of America ' s Sixty Families, could display, for now they were Juniors, upperclassmen. They occupied their right-wing assembly seats with due conservatism, and became examples of all that was good and glorious for the incoming Freshmen. In accordance with tradition, the Juniors adopted these Freshmen and put them through their paces, until they were ready to be sworn in as citizens. This important ritual occurred on September 25th. Helen Higgins, Henrietta Stathaco- poulos, Rita Gleavy, and Mary Curran, the worthy officers, served as judges, and each Junior bore witness that her Freshman pledged herself to honor and respect the Class of ' 38. Under the Labor Laws, which declare that no Junior may take more than four courses, the Juniors enjoyed the peace that the leisure class enjoys. But war and rumors of war came when Mid-Semester marks appeared, and a reform movement was declared. The leaders of the reform party paraded, bearing signs, — Principles of Secondary Education, Functional Gregg Shorthand, and ' College Book of Verse. However, on the first of February, a moratorium on work was declared, and the Juniors began to celebrate Junior Week. A banquet was held at the University Club, with Dr. Kennedy as speaker. On February 3rd, they attended Pride and Prejudice. The crowning event of the week was the never-to-be-forgotten Junior Prom. One hundred and three couples graced the dance at the Copley-Plaza, and at the end of the Grand March sang Alma Mater together. The class returned to normalcy, and prosperity reigned. Many of the class displayed their talent in the operetta, The Gondoliers ' the remainder made up part of the audience. Then came the most important election of the age. Barbara Bacig- alupo, Elizabeth Kearns, Rita Gleavy, and Anne O ' Brien won the places of honor. The year closed as previous years had, except that the Juniors now cherished the hope of soon taking the place of the capped-and-gowned Seniors who had completed their term of enlistment. SS } Volume IV— The Golden Age 1937-1938 To the Seniors come certain long-awaited privileges granted to the Old Timers at Teachers College. The Class of 1938 was inaugurated with due cere- mony on September 1 3th, when the members took their places as Seniors in full regalia of cap and gown. This was the only time when the class was together until Com- mencement. While Boston schools drew thirty-eight of the group as observers during the first semester, the remaining eighty struggled with Terman and Snedden. Thurs- day afternoons then became the time for cabinet meetings, when progress was reported. On Thursdays also, the financial status of the Lampas was made more certain, for Seniors had so negotiated that there was no tariff on tea and cake sold in the Reception Room. At Christmas time the Seniors took dignified positions as escorts of the Faculty at the party for the children of Faculty members. Meanwhile, rehearsals had been going on for the play to be presented for the Lampas. Nothing But theTruth had its first performance on January 14th and gave an encore on March 4th. On February 1st, a political tidal wave occurred; the kindergarten and junior high candidates were swept into power at the College, and occupied the seats va- cated by the senior high majors. However, no great change in policy was noticed, because Odell, Snedden, and Terman continued in control. The winter vacation came as a respite to the struggles of the class, but very soon the Works Progress Commission carried on its longest unbroken project, — from March until after Easter. Another roller-skating party must be recorded in this chronicle, and another credit item on the journal of the Lampas. The spring vacation finally arrived. The Seniors were busy attending the sessions of the In- tellectual Congress, instead of exploring Washington and points South. Whirlwind tours were made, not over an election district, but through piles of notes accumulated during four long years. Lest their development become one-sided, the Seniors added another page to their social history, with a formal dance held at the Copley-Plaza on April 29th. Nor did culture languish in this Age, for the Seniors, with the rest of the College, formed an appreciative audience for the splendid presentation of Mary of Scotland by the Cooperative Arts group. They also took part in the celebration of Self- Government Day. A war-cloud, in the form of the substitute examination, now hung over the class. Yet the forces were marshaled so well, and the strategy was so successful, that the Seniors emerged without any casualties and prepared for a second victory in the final examinations. The culmination of this Golden Age came during Commencement Week, when the Seniors experienced the joys that reward work which has been well done. The first in the series of festivities was Class Day, the day when the talent, the beauty, and the graciousness of the Seniors were revealed. In order to cele- brate its achievements, the Seniors enjoyed a Class Picnic, the scene of much joy and fun, and a Class Banquet, made delightful by the best of food and conversation. No diplomat ever attended a more dignified and charming reception than that given by the Faculty to the Seniors. Here, faculty were hosts and students guests, and the hospitality was comparable to that offered in the historic South. On June third, the class assembled for the counsel and blessing of the Dean. Commencement found the Seniors ready to receive the reward for the work to which they had whole-heartedly devoted themselves for four years, — the coveted sheepskin. Thus one era closed, and another began. May the succeeding volumes of the Hjstory of the Class of 1938 commemorate as happy and as note-worthy events as those here recorded. Alice F. Casey {89 } CLASS POEM THE HEIGHTS Four years have come and gone, the while we climbed A steep, majestic mountain, upward led By skillful guides, whose knowledge of the slopes Made confident our slow and faltering steps. The journey ' s course has brought us to a height Above which tower mighty peaks and crags More lofty still than those we have attained By patient toil. Today the guides depart, Their helping hands withdraw, and we alone Must try to scale and conquer new ascents, Aware that now the higher pinnacles Will harder be than those of yesterday. And ever upward as we climb, we know That every day ' s advance depends upon The sureness of each firm and careful step,- And since a changing path we always face, We must with skill and courage find a way To meet the hazards each new day will bring. O Teachers College, thine has been the hand So helpfully outstretched to guide and guard. Whatever progress we have made thus far Is thine achievement more than it is ours. We know not what the future holds in store,. Nor is the gift of prophecy vouchsafed To vision what our destiny may be. Amid uncertainties one thing is sure — The lessons thou hast given will enrich And brighten life for us and those we meet. For thou hast wisely taught us to reflect Before we form opinions, and to have Respect for views that differ from our own. We ' ve learned that all are needed by each one, And that the noblest work that we can do Is giving service free from selfish ends, And helping others reach the heights sublime. Rita P. Kaufman 4 90 } IW ORATION THE JOY OF LIVING The days of our youth are the days of our glory. Today the Class of 1938 in all the glory and courage of youth faces the future. We have planted our ivy, the traditional symbol of farewell to college days. To youth, life is a joyous adventure. We look into the unknown future with hope and confidence in what the years have to offer us. Of all life ' s gifts we most desire happiness — the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But what is happiness? Is it not the more abundant life,- the fulfillment of our dreams; the attainment of our ideals,- and the achievement of spiritual peace and contentment? Youth has a dowry rich in the possibilities of happiness. Enthusiasm for work and for play are splendid qualities of youth which we must endeavor to preserve through the years. Again youth has faith in the present and hope for the future — courage unbounded to face life ' s tests and trials. And perhaps the greatest of youth ' s treasures are a vision of high ideals and the ardor to aspire to the finer things in life. These noble attributes we should cherish and guard, for they are the touch- stones of a rich, full, and truly happy life. But are these qualities of youth sufficient in themselves for the achievement of lasting happiness in the deepest sense of the word? Shall we not need to develop other qualities of character and personality? As we grow older we may find that the self-sufficiency of youth is not all-powerful. No man lives to himself alone. Life will demand of us sympathy and understanding. One who has learned the blessedness of service to other people has gone far toward making life happy for himself and those about him. Happiness like charity seeketh not her own, and only in unselfish efforts for the welfare of others lies true happiness. The little deeds of kindness, the pleasant word, the thoughtful courtesy, the encouraging smile — all these are simple things, but they scatter sunshine on life. Certainly happiness is not dependent on material possessions. Life shows us that those who have much are often the least contented, and that happy people may have very little. In Dr. A. J. Cronin ' s fine novel, The Citadel, we read: More than ever it was borne upon him that happiness was independent ... of worldly possessions. Is it not a special gift of the soul, a spiritual attitude, to find joy in the simple things of life? What a wealth of enjoyment may come from a beautiful sunset, a drifting cloud, a morning choir of birds, the budding countryside in spring! Happi- ness comes not from wealth but from the harmony, truth, beauty, and simplicity of life. If then we can preserve the idealism of youth, live unselfishly for others, and never lose our joy in simple things, we shall know true happiness, and can say with Brown- ing: — Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith, ' A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God: See all, nor be afraid ' ! Barbara L. Bacigalupo {91 } CLASS ESSAY A VISION OF WORLD PEACE The great nations have long dreamed of a world at peace, a world in which . . . the war-drum throbbed no longer, and the battleflags were furled, In the parliament of man, the federation of the world. The progress of civilization should of course be toward the arts of peace rather than the arts of war, but in spite of man ' s desire for peace and brotherly love, he has constantly perfected his weapons of war and made them more deadly. The most obvious reason for hating war is its terrible destruction of human life. In the deaths of many youths, well-fitted physically and mentally to perpetuate the race, posterity suffers, and civilization moves backward. Many who return from war find themselves without employment,- others, unable to adjust themselves to peacetime activities, become misfits and potential criminals. The direct economic losses of war include destruction of property and huge expenditures of money which could have accomplished wonders in constructive ways. The indirect losses are even more important: for example, the great loss of trade during a war and the world-wide depressions following wars. In times of such economic upheaval our political institutions of liberty and self-government are seriously threatened. Moreover, posterity is burdened by heavy war debts, incurred by preceding generations. Only recently our government finished paying for the War of 1812. How long will it take to pay for the World War, which was far more costly? What does war accomplish to justify the terrible price in lives and money? Nothing! A century ago, Southey, in his poem, The Battle of Blenheim, vividly portrayed the futility and the evil of war. Little Peterkin, as his grandfather describes the great battle, asks, But what good came of it at last? The old peasant grand- father can only answer, That I cannot tell, but ' twas a famous victory. And when Peterkin ' s little sister Wilhelmine exclaims, Why, ' twas a very wicked thing! , the grandfather reiterates, Nay, ' twas a famous victory. Volumes might be written against war, and say no more than this simple dialogue. What have the world ' s famous victories accomplished except sowing the dragon ' s teeth for future wars! And is not the ruthless slaughter of innocent and useful lives the supreme wickedness! There is an increasing realization of the evils of war, and the majority of people today desire peace. But on the question of how to preserve peace there is much disagreement. In the United States the proposed plans vary from those of the isolationists, who would have the United States become a self-sufficient nation with few outside contacts, to those of the internationalists, who believe it our duty to make the world safe for democracy. Some think that disarmament will preserve peace,- others, that we must build up a huge defense to prevent invasion. But a more funda- mental and far-reaching way of insuring peace, a way which will take longer but will in the end be more effective, is through education. One of the basic causes of all wars is misunderstanding, which often arises from differences in language, customs, and manners. In one of Stevenson ' s poems, a little English child says to foreign children: O! don ' t you wish that you were me? . . . You have the curious things to eat, I am fed on proper meat,- You must dwell beyond the foam, But I am safe and live at home. He thinks of children in other lands as different from himself and therefore as queer and inferior. He imagines that they must tire of the strange sights in foreign countries and long to be at home where he is. 92 } Unfortunately, this conception of people of other nations is shared by many adults. We tend to think of our fellowmen across the sea as outlandish foreign- ers, ' ' rather than as human beings like ourselves, with the same instincts, feelings, and needs,- the same desire for love, beauty, happiness, and all the fine things of life,- and the same fear of famine, sickness, war, and the other evils of life. Because their manners and customs are different from ours, and because they dwell beyond the foam and speak a different language, we forget that in our human hopes and fears we are all one. This lack of understanding leads to prejudice, hatred, and conse- quent warfare. In the words of Cowper, Mountains interposed Make enemies of nations, who had else Like kindred drops been mingled into one. If true and sympathetic friendship existed among the people of different countries, war between the nations would become far less likely, if not actually impossible. There is really little excuse for intolerance and lack of understanding today, for the modern means of communication — telephone, cable, and radio — have almost annihilated geographic barriers. The radio is an especially valuable means of learning of the culture and ideals of other lands. Travel also promotes mutual understanding, if the traveler has the intention of appreciating what is finest in each nation rather than of searching for things to criticize in order to exalt his own country at the expense of the one he is visiting. The best way of creating sympathetic understanding of people in other coun- tries is through education. Well-educated people are usually tolerant and open- minded. The uneducated and provincial, who know little or nothing about any people except those in their own little corner of the world, are often intolerant and contemptuous of all unlike themselves. We can begin this education for broad and sympathetic understanding by cultivating a better acquaintance with those who have come to our country from other lands. In learning of the valuable contributions to our civilization from their far older cultures, we begin to realize how much this nation owes to its immigrants. From an appreciation of these contributions we progress to an appreciation of the nations from which they came. Narrow-minded nationalism is a constant threat to peace. Children should be taught not that their nation is the only fine and great one on earth, but that other nations also are fine and great, equally beloved by their citizens. We must try, not to outdo other countries and conquer them, but to co- operate with them and be a good neighbor. The best neighbors are those who are friendly and understanding, helpful but not meddling. This ideal should be applied to nations as well as to mvididuals. The good neighbor policy will create mutual tolerance and respect, quite different from the bitterness aroused by the big stick attitude. Thus, in trying to maintain peace through education, our people must be brought to a friendly understanding of the people of other lands, and to the realiza- tion that the welfare of our country and the civilization of the world can best be preserved and advanced not by warring on our neighbors, but by working with them in mutual helpfulness for the welfare of all. What greater ideal can we as teachers have than to aim in all our work to further in some degree the ultimate realization of this shining vision of a world at peace! Build the road of Peace before us, Build it wide and deep and long: Speed the slow and check the eager, Help the weak and curb the strong. None shall push aside another, None shall let another fall: March beside me, O my brother, All for one, and one for all. Louise E. Winston. {93 } CLASS SONG ALMA MATER With ardent praise and tribute fair, We sing thy gloried fame,- We offer up our hearts to thee, We honor now thy name. O Alma Mater, take the love Thy children pledge to thee, An earnest of our faith and trust, Our grateful loyalty. Ideals of wisdom, justice, truth — So nobly envisioned here — We ' ll guard and cherish faithfully, Throughout each coming year. O Alma Mater, great and wise, Now comes the parting day, When we, thy children, say farewell, To go, each one, her way. Forever guide us on the path That leads to right and truth; Lift high thy torch o ' er life ' s rough way To light the steps of youth. Hail, Alma Mater! Wisdom ' s shrine,- Our hearts repose in thee; We pledge again with fervent love, Our faith and constancy. Words: Mary E. Curran Music: Marjorie L. McDonnell ■{94 } COURTYARD SONG OUR DAISY CHAIN Air: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea The time draws near To bid days so dear, Our classmates and friends, fond adieu. With our daisy chain and this loving refrain We pledge faith and devotion true. (Chorus) In a happy train We sing our refrain, As we slowly wend our way. Oh, the daisies white Bring us new delight On this long-awaited day! Though we may part from our friends so dear, Our mem ' ries will ever keep them near,- And our daisy chain We shall make again, That our hearts may still be gay. Our joyous strain And our daisy chain Will e ' er bring sweet thoughts to us all. This fair, happy day, so unclouded and gay, We ' ll remember, whatever befall. Mary E. Cur {95 } CLASS WILL We, the Class of ' 38, so soon to go to seek our fate, Being sound in wind and limb, and sane whene ' er it suits our whi Do devise and do indite this last will, as is our right. We leave to Dr. Kennedy, a college calm as calm can be — The reason is of course quite plain; the quiet students will remain,- The noisy ones will graduate, for they ' re the Class of 38. We leave unto our harried Dean, a new and magical machine That quickly finds the fittest place that each young lady fair may grace, As practice teacher in a hapless school. (We hope he ' ll like this useful tool.) Blue ' s such a lovely color, our dear Miss Sallaway, To you we make this last request — Throw those blue slips away! Or else you may inhibit us against the lovely hue — So cast them out, and tardy maids will all rise up in thanks to you. To our Library we devise — a gift superlatively wise, A good strong turnstile for the door, so that never as of yore Will three o ' clock a scramble see, the night-before-exams melee, As students make a grand foray, the reserved books to bear away. Concerning Mental Ages, we admit we re in a maze — The Education Instructors have searched for ours for days. To them we leave this stern command, If found, please post by sea or land. (We ' d like the proofs to be at hand.) To the Department of History, we leave this little hope That their inspiring work anon will have more scope, For as soon as we get out, world reforms we ' ll bring about. (Please do not express a doubt.) And for our English Department — here is our Sophomore notebook. It ' s weightier than Manly and, better far than Cook. It shows them to their swelling pride, our English lessons took. ' i 96 To our Department of Science we leave a salamander — We ' ll furnish her at any time that they choose to demand her. (Likewise our thanks to Mr. Breen, who helped to make our lives serene.) We ' d like to leave the Welfare Club a great amount of cash — Instead we give our heartfelt thanks to Miss Mansfield and Dr. Nash. To our artistic Mr. Shea we leave a dreadful memoray — The worst examples of still life except the changing of Lot ' s wife. Some few brains we have we trust — but Oh! if they would work for us. For the Department of Physical Education there is the younger generation, Full of pep and vim and vigor, instead of us in mortis rigor. Our famed Health Department a fine bequest has won: A strong and sturdy skeleton — the other ' s race is run — And he by now must surely yearn to live on his Social Insurance return. To Miss Midgley we leave Many Pale Freshmen — Who will sit retired — and in voice By anguish made more shrill Pour through their hollow throats Their pensive souls. Our weighty task is finished; This will to probate now must go. We ' ll see its terms are carried out — The class has willed it so. Dorothy Martin Helen O ' Leary Conservators for the Class of 38.

ELEANOR GEISHECKER ELSE JUNKER President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Secretary Treasurer At Teachers College, the Self-Government Association is the center of student activities. By cultivating in the students a high sense of honor, a spirit of cooperation, and a gracious manner, the Association fosters character development. Yet it does not neglect cultural and social training. The Self-Government Association takes an important part in the program for Education Week, especially as hostesses to the parents who come to be personally introduced to the College. The Acquaintance Tea for the Freshmen, the Teachers College Fund dance, and the Faculty Tea in the Spring are its most important social activities. Under committees of the Association, routine matters, such as the administra- tion of the College Store, the distribution of car-checks, the care of the Lunch Room, the management of the Lost and Found Department, and the sale of opera tickets were efficiently handled. Semi-annual meetings, one in June and the second, a luncheon meeting in the February vacation, are sponsored by the Self-Government Association in order that cooperation among other student organizations may be secured. {102 } RITA KELLY MARIE BARRY ANGELINE GRAMOLINI . . . . MYRTIS ANDREWS MISS LOTTA CLARK, MISS GRANDFIELD Councillor S 1 Councillor S 2 Councillor S 3 Councillor S 6 Faculty Advisers This cooperation is furthered through the bi-monthly meetings of the Student Council. This body, composed of section councillors, presidents of classes, Self- Government officers, and Faculty Advisers, arranges extra-curricular activities, and promotes democratic participation in this self-government. During 1937-1938, the Association was able to make a large contribution to the Teachers College Fund. This gift was made possible by the financial success of the formal dance held at the Hotel Statler, and by a satisfactory system of collec- tion of dues on two pay-days. The Association takes pleasure in contributing to this fund, which benefits the members in many ways. The success of twelve years of Self-Government was celebrated on Self- Government Day, when speakers from each class presented various phases of Vi- sion, — the quality which has guided the progress of the past and will point the way to the future. { 103 } BARBARA BACIGALUPO President ELIZABETH KEARNS Vice-President ANNE O ' BRIEN Secretary RITA GLEAVY Treasurer SENIOR CLASS The portals are open, the white road leads Through thicket and garden, o ' er stone and sod.

DOROTHY MARTIN RUTH SCHIFFERDECKER ANNA DOWD WINIFRED GALLANT DR. NASH, MISS MANSFIELD President .First Vice-President Second Vice-President Third Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisers Education for Service — Service for Education ' The Welfare Club, comprising in its membership both the faculty and the student body, is dedicated to service, especially to the service of needy children in the Boston schools. Each year many families who would otherwise lack holiday cheer are made happy by Thanksgiving baskets, sent out by the Club. At Christmas time the Club, assisted by the children of faculty members and by the kindergarten teachers of Boston, plays Santa Claus by sending toys to the children in various Settlement Houses where the Teachers College students conduct classes, in orphanages, and in the City Hospital. Milk is supplied for the school luncheons of undernourished pupils,- and clothing, shoes, and eyeglasses are provided for poor children. Whatever the need, the Welfare Club endeavors to respond. Then, too, contributions are made to the Community Fund, the Junior Red Cross, and other worthy causes. In all its work the Welfare Club aims to give a practical application of its motto: Education for Service,- Service for Education. {109 } AQUARIUM CLUB marie fortunati henrietta stathacopoulos rita Mclaughlin, ►catherine laljrano . dr. kerrigan .... President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Desire to create and ability to enjoy are the two pre-requisites for member- ship in the Aquarium Club, and those who have these two characteristics find interest and satisfaction in their club. The ability to enjoy has its place in the projects and pursuits of the year. Although the club is the Aquarium Club, its activities are not confined to the making of aquaria, but are extended to the making of terraria and to the study of mosses, lichens, and water plants in their native settings. One of the most important accomplishments of the club is the support of the Lilliam J. MacRae Memorial Library. In this work it is aided by the Biology Society and by gifts from various sources. Each year the Aquarium Club takes charge of one meeting of the Biology and Science Clubs, which combine with it to form the Science Association. Although all these clubs are members of the combined association, each club retains its own identity and its particular appeal to those interested in its activities. { HO ART CLUB MARGUERITE MINSKY President ELEANOR LYNCH Vice-President ANNE FINKLE Treasurer BARBARA STEVENS Secretary MR. SHEA Faculty Adviser The Art Club is open to the entire student body, but is of especial interest to those who enjoy active cooperation in the various events of the Teachers College year. Members receive many opportunities for artistic expression, and they also participate in the productions of the Cooperative Arts Group. Individual work often takes the form of poster-making, — for one of the duties of the Art Club is the advertising of the social affairs of the various college classes and associations. Group work includes the designing and printing of Christmas cards, the making of scenery and properties for productions of the Drama Club, and — most important of all — the presentation of the Christmas tableau. In addition to its activities in the Cooperative Arts Group, the Art Club arranges for visits to various museums and exhibits, offers lectures on arts and crafts, and celebrates Art Week by presenting an exhibit and an assembly for the enjoyment of the entire college. {Ill } ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION RITA CAMPBELL WINNIFRED PEATFIELD KATHLEEN McNULTY MIDRED Dl DIO ... AGNES EARLEY MISS DONOVAN, MISS QUINLAN President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisers The Athletic Association, since its inauguration in 1926, has maintained an enviable position in the hearts of the student body. Enthusiasm, laughter, and fun always wax high in the gymnasium on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. Always the spirit of good sportsmanship and comradeship, so important to a well- balanced personality, is evident at these meetings. The activities of the club are not limited to the gymnasium. Besides the indoor sports of captainball, baseball, and basketball, ample opportunity is offered for parti- cipation in outdoor sports. Points are awarded for bicycling, swimming, tennis, skating, and various other outside activities. Moreover, several times during the year organized hiking trips are taken. Last, but by no means least, comes the much anticipated party. Games, re- freshments, and the awarding of numerals and letters — all combine to make this final meeting the most enjoyable of the year. ■{112 } BIOLOGY SOCIETY YVONNE HABERT . MATILDA ROSENFELD . RITA M. KELLEY HENRIETTA STATHACOPOULOS MISS AMMIDOWN President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser The Biology Society is one of the few of our organizations to which both un- dergraduates and graduates belong. The spirit of friendliness and cooperation which pervades all the meetings serves to unite more closely the present and future teachers of Biology. The monthly meetings are devoted to talks by visiting speakers and by mem- bers of the Club, and to the discussion of subjects of biological interest. One of the most attractive events of the college year is the Society s annual Christmas Sale, which is becoming a tradition. This particular activity is most valu- able because of its atmosphere of good fellowship, and because the greater part of the proceeds is used for the benefit of the College as a whole. i 113 CLASSICAL CLUB MARGARET O ' HARE FLORENCE THOMPSON MARY HEALY GLADYS KLINE CLAIRE O ' BRIEN . MISS GIVEN . President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Since its beginning, the aim of the Classical Club has been two-fold ; — to foster a spirit of friendliness among its members and to deepen their love of the Class- ics. By offering to under-graduates and graduates an opportunity to keep alive an interest in a literature which is old because it is good, the Club has attained both its aims. From the annual picnic in September, each month added to the enjoyment and the knowledge of the members. Among the outstanding meetings were the Saturn- alia program, the lectures by Miss Heartz on Roman Britain, and by Miss Jenkins of the Museum of Fine Arts on the Daily Life of the Romans. The annual banquet, in true Roman style, a blend of the grave and the gay formed a fitting climax to the year ' s activities. { 114 } COMMERCIAL CLUB FRANCES QUINN President HARRIET DENNISON Vice-President ANNE PHILLIPS Secretary JOSEPHINE SNAPHY Treasurer DR. REGAN, MR. BITZER Faculty Advisers The Commercial Club, composed of undergraduate and graduate students of the Commercial Education major group, helps to promote friendships and to enrich the vocational background and professional preparation of its members. At the meetings we hear speakers from business and educational fields, and reports by mem- bers of the club of outside reading and of visits to business offices. The social activi- ties are such as give suggestions which will be useful later in conducting high school commercial clubs. In addition to the annual Group Skill Contest, a new activity this year is a mimeographed News Sheet, which discusses interesting magazine articles, and reports visits to business offices, as well as the social news of the club and the college. {115 } DRAMA CLUB DOROTHY THAIN . ANNE LAVERTY ANNE McGINLEY . ALICE KITTREDGE VIRGINIA NOONAN MISS CLARK, MISS GAFFEY President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisers The play ' s the thing. The Drama Club endeavors to develop in its members their abilities and apti- tudes for dramatic performance, and also to give them the self-confidence and poise so necessary in their chosen vocation. It attempts to follow these aims through its many and varied activities during the year. Its most important work is its alternation with the Music Club in staging a major production every other year. Among its annual events are the Harvest Festival, the Christmas Play, a Valentine Party, and a banquet at the end of the school year. The Club meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month, and at one of these meetings a short play is enacted by members. Every student in the college is eligible for membership, the only requisite being a desire either to act or in some other way to aid in dramatic productions and the appreciation of drama. { 116 ENGLISH CLUB DOROTHY O ' BRIEN ANNA DAMIANO . MARGARET POWELL MARGARET MURRY MISS BRENNAN, MRS. GUILFORD President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisers The large membership which the English Club always enjoys is evidence of its popularity. The programs of the meetings are varied, including not only illustrated lectures on literary backgrounds and discussions of modern and classic forms of litera- ture, but also readings from original papers written by members of the Club. Knowing the interest that the theatre holds for everyone, we do not neglect drama. At least one of our meetings takes the form of a theatre party, at which a good play or motion picture is seen. The Christmas meeting is traditional in its presentation of the well-loved Second Shepherd ' s Play. {117 GEOGRAPHY CLUB DOROTHY GAUGHAN ANNA CONNOLLY EVA PASQUALE . WINNIFRED GRAVES MISS DRISCOLL President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser This year the members of the Geography Club presented a varied and in- teresting series of programs. The first meeting was devoted to discussion of foreign affairs. Mr. James H. Powers, an authority in that field, lectured on The Progress of International Anarchy. His interpretation of events in the Mediterranean was most informative. By invitation from the president of the Boston Association of Geography Teachers, we attended a delightful tea and lecture presented by that Association. Sparkling is the only word descriptive of the talk by Mr. Roger Houston on diamonds and their uses, for our speaker displayed several specimens of the precious gem. At another meeting Miss Fisher of the Needle Shop exhibited her famous collection of posters. These works of art stimulated our appreciation of fine work- manship. In March a group of club members saw the government film, The Bin, a product of the Federal Theatre. This account of the year ' s activities illustrates the aims of the Geography Club: to give its members the opportunity to supplement their knowledge and broaden their outlook; to increase their acquaintance with the foreign and their understanding of the familiar. { 8 HISTORY CLUB DORIS FINN . MARY CONNOLLY CHARLOTTE FELLMAN ESTELLE de WATER DR. HUBBARD . President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Faculty Adviser History triumphs over Time. The History Club is always a valued memory of those who have been mem- bers in their undergraduate years. Through the medium of this club,, the influences and movements in human affairs are seen, not as the prosaic recitation of events musty with the signs of antiquity, but as vital and significant, — as in truth they are. Journeys in so historically important a city as Boston must prove to be fascinat- ing, — for what city has more to attract the inquiring historian? To the History Club has always been entrusted the Washington-Lincoln Assembly, and such events as, this year, the commemoration of the making of the Constitution. The jolly Christmas party, too, will long be remembered. Although those who have been members of the History Club may not expect to cause even a ripple in the stream of history, the tracing for themselves of its varying course has been both enjoyable and valuable.

VOSBURGH President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser The Mathematics Society of the Teachers College is composed of graduates and undergraduates of the College who are united by their interest in that most fascinating of sciences, mathematics. The Club was founded nine years ago with a three-fold purpose: to promote a spirit of friendship among the graduates and undergraduates of Teachers College having a common interest in mathematics,- to bring to the undergraduates a knowledge of real experience in the teaching of mathematics by those already in the profession,- and to further the cause of the teach- ing of mathematics in the Boston schools. At its monthly meetings the Society is addressed by eminent mathematicians from neighboring colleges, whose discussions of phases of mathematics are both en- lightening and interesting. The grand finale of the Club ' s yearly activities is the banquet, held in May, at which mathematician and epicurean shake hands. {121 } MUSIC CLUB marjorie McDonnell eleanor dwyer . eleanor heerde . ruth heerde miss brick . President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser The Music Group of the Cooperative Arts Course, consisting of about sixty members, has met on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month under the direction of Miss Brick. The meetings were occupied with rehearsing the programs presented at various times during the year. The College never lacks a chorus for an occasion when music is desired. Incidental music is provided by the Music Club at the assemblies during Education Week and on Self-Government Day. At the Christmas Assembly the carol singing adds the pleasure that only music can give. The College owes a special debt to the Club for the inspiring music furnished each year at Commencement. Every alternate year the Club enriches the social life of the College by the presentation of an Operetta. Last year ' s production, The Gondoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan, will always be remembered with great pleasure. i 122 } SCIENCE CLUB CAROLINE OBER HELEN WUSTENEY . NAOMI BAZOL GERTRUDE WEINBERGER MR. QUINN . President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Science for Service This year the Science Club, recognizing that all teachers should keep pace with the rapid advance of science, has extended its invitation for membership not only to those whose major or minor field of study is science, but to all who realize the necessity of understanding the marvels of the age in which we live. Because the Science Club is endeavoring to interest the non-technical student, the meetings are not on too technical a plane. Lecturers and teachers give talks, which are both en- joyable and instructive. The motion picture, also, has been a valuable aid to us in the understanding and enjoyment of science. i 123 } STRING ENSEMBLE Violir Cello Contra-Bass Piano Faculty Adviser Mary Donovan Virginia Galligan Ruth Gordon Faith Hill Rose llgovsky Mildred Silverman Elizabeth Spady Emma Taylor Ruth Vincent Pauline Glen Marjorie McDonnell Virginia Stone Mr. Drake {124 } r C HRISTMAS TABLEAU MADONNA TABLEAU Center Panel Madonna Cherubs Right Panel Trumpeters Left Panel Trumpeters Beatrice Delorey Adeline Dell ' Ana Eileen Bowers Eleanor Lynch Violet Pilkington Barbara Stevens Vincenza Baglioni Annabelle O ' Connor Agathina di Bella { 125 MARY OF SCOTLAND By Maxwell Anderson Cast in order of appearance Jamie, a guard Monk, a guard John Knox Tamrnas, a guard James Hepburn, Earl of Both Page Mary Stuart Due de Chalelherault Mary Beaton Mary Seton Mary Livingstone Mary Fleming .

Thou hast shown us the world with its splendor and might, Its desire and its need thou hast given us to see; Mother, grant us thy passion for service that we May lead youth with its ardor to seek for the light.
