LIBRARY of BOSTON STATE COLLEGE warns — h €JU. EX-LIBRIS fc- or a A 2 1939 THE TEACHERS COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF BOSTON r THE CLASS OF 1939 Takes Pleasure in Dedicating THE LAMPAS to MISS MARGARET MARY SALLAWAY Adviser of Women V E SHALL always remember with deep appreciation and gratitude Miss Sallaway ' s unfailing encouragement and understanding, and the dignity and charm with which she graced our college activities. MiSS MARGARET M. SALLAWAY PROLOGU E OUR college years are golden years. They hold all the joys of youth enriched by a deep feeling of comradeship and a broad sense of social responsibility. They know, too, the richer, fuller achievements of maturity, the realization of cultural values, the eager striving toward a longed-for objective, the joy that comes when the goal is reached. Time, the subtle thief, can never steal our golden years away, for in the future,through the pagesof our Lampas, The memory of the past will stay And half our joys renew. ' An Alma Mater of the rising generation. And the great Gate swings. Blue be the sky and soft the breeze, Earth green beneath the feet. I have had playmates, I have had companions In my days of youth, in my joyful school days. {9} ' There is no frigate like a book To take us miles away. While some on earnest business bent Their murmuring labors ply. ' ' {10} ' True friendship ' s laws are by this rule expressed: Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest. ' A master passion is the love of news. {11} 02} ADMINISTRATION OUR FACULTY V E OFFER our sincere and grateful appreciation to the members of our faculty whose sympathetic guidance, unfail- ing encouragement, and loyalty to the truest ideals and highest standards of teaching have inspired us with the ambition to become worthy members of their profession. 4 14} DR. WILLIAM HENRY JOSEPH KENNEDY For his able guidance, for the inspiration of his high professional ideals, and his faith in the College and in us, we are deeply grate-, ful to Dr. Kennedy, our President, whom we shall always remember with sincere affection and respect. {is} DR. WILLIAM FRANCIS LINEHAN For his wise counsel, his sympathetic understanding, and his unfailing courtesy, we thank our Dean, Dr. Linehan. 06} FORMER FACULTY MEMBERS We dedicate this page of our Lampas to the former members of our faculty who this year have gone to other fields of service in the Boston School System. We are glad to express here our appreciation of their part in guiding us during our col- lege days. In our Senior year we missed the friendly presence of Miss Mary C. Grandfield, who is taking a leave of absence for study abroad. Those of us who have been privileged to know the understanding and interest of Mrs. Marion A. Guilford and Miss Bertha C. Quinnam feel that those who now work under the guidance of Mrs. Guilford in the Department of Practice and Train- ing, and of Miss Quinnam as an Elementary Supervisor, are indeed fortunate. The loss of Teachers College is the gain of the Charlestown High School in having Dr. Francis J. Horgan as Head Master, and of the Roxbury Memorial High School for Boys, where Mr. James D. Ryan has become Head of the Depart- ment of Mathematics. We wish these friends continued success. We have very pleasant memories ot their friendliness and helpfulness during our years at Teachers College. 17} mi FiuBRfinPi mi ptmmipoujn mi r arr mR borrv mi BEfln mR. bitzer mi berkoujitz mi picK on mi T ponoufin mR DRAKE (III PRI COLL mi GflFFEV ITU GAmER mi GfiRTLflnP PR.

Her high ideals and spiritual nobility live in the words of Alma Mater ' our beloved college hymn. {20} ALMA MATER When we came,, Alma Mater, to thee in our youth, When we lifted our eyes, full of trust, to thy face, When we felt there thy spirit, and saw there thy grace, We desired then thy wisdom, we longed for thy truth. As the years have flown by with their toil and their joy, Thou hast quickened our ears, thou hast opened our eyes, Till the hill and the plain, till the seas and the skies, Are all throbbing with beauty no hand can destroy. 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. Katharine H. Shute {21} MRS HARRIET F. HUTCHINGS N NOVEMBER, 1938, Mrs. Hutchings, the beloved matron at Teachers College for twenty-five years, was retired. We, the Class of 1939, dedicate this page in her honor as a token of our appreciation of her countless kindnesses, and as an expression of the love and esteem with which we shall always remember her. {22} SENIORS OUR PARENTS V ITH affection and gratitude we dedi- cate this page of the Lampas to our dear parents whose loving encour- agement has made possible our college career. Our years at The Teachers College we regard as a generous gift from our fathers and mothers, and we hope always to prove worthy of their trust and confidence. {24} HELEN MARY ANZALONE Brown-eyed Susans And sprays of baby ' s-breath Tied with blue ribbon. Helen ' s twinkling brown eyes reveal the gay spirit in which she goes about the business of living. She has a resilient nature which enables her to come back smiling after any disappointment, and she always manages to see that little speck of clear sky which is hidden from the rest of us. Helen penetrates seemingly impenetrable problems with ease and good humor, and makes things seem so simple that we wonder what we were so excited and flustered about. We only hope that she will preserve her optimism and be able always to come smiling through ' ' life ' s difficulties.

VINCENZA MARIE BAGLIONI Taffy apples,- Spice cookies In a copper bowl. Though quietly hovering in the background rather than asserting herself in the limelight, Vinny has, nevertheless, contributed much to the success of her class. She has proved to us that much may be accomplished without undue hurry and confusion, and that life may be enjoy- able if taken calmly and judiciously. Never appearing over-anxious or too eager, she has willingly co-operated with her classmates in the varied extra-curricular activi- ties of the class. Always pleasant and cheerful, she has won the good will of all.

Eva has always been very quiet, very unassuming, yet with a steadiness of character which won our confidence and regard. No one has absorbed knowledge more eagerly or enthusiastically than she. She is a sincere, valued friend, and has a keen intellect and dependable earnestness. No matter what the task, she remains unruffled and poised. The modesty of her quiet nature is felt at all times. Of a truly co-operative nature, she was always ready to aid in college affairs, to serve where her services were needed. We can only say that the little children who will come under her influence will be very fortunate. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Art Club; Music Club. MARY ADELINE BAROSSI Madeira linen And glowing candles Casting rosy light. If you need a friend, one who will lend helpful notes, explain difficult problems, or listen sympathetically to your tales of woe, your search is over. Mary is the ideal chum. If you wish further information in this connection, consult Rhoda. She and Mary have been inseparable ever since that day when, as bewildered Freshmen, they started their pursuit of higher education. Although her dexterity in typewriting and her facility in getting Balance Sheets to balance are really remarkable, we can pay Mary this tribute — she has always been willing to share her knowledge with anyone less fortunate than she.

Haste makes waste, might be Doris ' s motto. Her most noticeable characteristics are utter sincerity and a calm unhurried manner. Yet in her deliberate way, Doris accomplishes more than others of us could even do with all our excited scurrying about. An original and interesting way of expressing herself has stood her in good stead in the field of art. It has also had much to do with the gathering of the large group of friends by whom Doris is surrounded, and with whom we join whole- heartedly in good wishes for her future success. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Art Club; Literary Club; Alpha Circle. MAE DOROTHY BORTNICK Rolling sand dunes, Peaceful seas, Twinkling stars over all. Mae ' s sincerity endears her to us. Her thoughtful ex- pression and serious manner serve to make her spon- taneous laughter more delightful. Her friendship can always be depended upon, for she is always present in time of need with a tactful and sympathetic word. Her diminutive stature and the charm of her personality lend truth to the statement that Nature puts her finest incense into the tiniest of receptacles. Beneath the surface serenity is the Mae who has contributed so much good nature and cheer to our college days. Major: General Science Minor: Mathematics Welfare Club; Art Club; Mathematics Society,- Science Club. {21} MARGARET ELEANOR BOWEN The white and gold And cool green Of daisies in a park. Eleanors manner is always quiet and gentle, her ex- pression pleasant yet thoughtful. Although ordinarily she is very serious and somewhat of a realist, now and then a flashing smile reveals the happy, optimistic side of her nature. Friendly and sympathetic, she immediately puts people at their ease. Her graciousness is ac- centuated by her gentle voice, like Cordelia ' s — an excellent thing in woman. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Athletic Association,- Music Club. MARIE EILEEN BOWERS Delia Robbia cherub; Dainty flowered chintz At a sunny window. Petite, pert, piquant Eileen has won our wholehearted admiration for her remarkable artistic ability. Her delightful posters with their drawings of cuddly babies and charming children have been seen in the halls of the college since her Freshman day c , and have always been greeted with smiles of appreciation. Not only in her artistic work, but in everything she undertakes, Eileen has won success through talent, perseverance, and genu- ine interest in the task at hand. We shall long remember Eileen for her sparkling humor and never-failing cheer- fulness.

Os} JUNE BEATRICE CAMPBELL An ocean wavelet Blue-green and froth-topped, Tangy and cool. What is so rare as a friend like June? Her natural charm, alert mind, sociable nature, and love of fun make her a most pleasant companion and a delightful friend. Her unaffected gaiety has done much toward making college days happy for her classmates. In addition to her cheerfulness, June has a ready sympathy and under- standing, which soothes our fevered spirits. Her pleasing personality and the unbounded enthusiasm which she has always shown, especially concerning her college work, will take her far along the road to success, and all our best wishes go with her.

HELEN FRANCES CAREY The warmth of home After a long walk On a chilly night Helen ' s quiet reserve at first obscured from us her varied capabilities, but not for long. Although naturally of a retiring nature, she soon became known for her lively wit and attractive personality. Helen has the gift of striking a happy medium between intellectual serious- ness and social gayety. Her achievements are the result of true ability, and her popularity is attested by her many friends. We know that she will take with her through life the confidence and optimism which so distinguished her in the classroom, and we are sure that these quali- ties will materially aid her in gaining success. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club; Commercial Club,- Drama Club; Geography Club. 29 CELIA JEAN CARRIS Rustling leaves In a cool wood; A lilting melody. Only a really well-balanced personality could maintain the popularity that Celia has had throughout her four years at Teachers College. Gentle and unassuming though she is, in her we have found a merry and fun- loving companion. Asa member of the Athletic Associa- tion she has displayed her sportsmanship at basketball and other games, always playing for enjoyment, never only for the sake of winning. Her gay and refreshing nature has made Celia such an indispensable part of college that we cannot picture any gathering of the Class of ' 39 unenlivened by her pungent wit and good- natured laughter. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club; Athletic Association; Commercial Club; Drama Club; Geography Club. ANN LOUISE CARROLL Merry bells Ringing gaily,- Tulips in bloom. If we were to enumerate the members of the class who come to mind when we think of friendliness and good cheer, Ann ' s name would surely be one of the first on our list. Blue Mondays, late-afternoon classes, dull weather — none of these can dim her bright smile or disturb her tranquil course. Ann will never find herself in the sad plight of Jack in the proverb, for she has found the secret formula for mingling work and play in just the right proportions for a full, rich life. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club; Athletic Association,- Commercial Club; Drama Club,- Geography Club,- Literary Club. {30} MARY FRANCES CARROLL A great cathedral With rosy windows Like gems in the sun. The smile in her dark eyes belies the seriousness of Mary ' s glance. Scholastically, she is known to most of her classmates because of her outstanding work in Education classes,- but it is in Spanish, her chosen field, that she has proved herself an expert indeed. As Chairman of the House Committee in her Junior year, Mary worked tirelessly to make the college reflect her own exquisite neatness. This year the newly-founded Spanish Club has progressed greatly under her capable leadership as its first President. After such initial inspira- tion, the club will certainly have a long and useful career. Hasta la vista, senorita.

HARRIET MARIE COHEN A tall glass of gingerale, Sparkling and effervescent; The tang of after-dinner mints. For three years we knew her as the girl who made the wittiest remarks in class, told the best jokes at lunch, and could generally be depended upon to draw at least a giggle from the dreariest of situations. Then one evening she was suddenly revealed as an incomparable mimic. She is refreshingly frank and sincere and a keen, interested student. However, as a person often finds himself most renowned not for his best, but for his most colorful piece of work, we shall always remember Harriet as our Witch in Snow White.

Do you remember has as Grumpy in the Junior Soiree? Or as the gayest devotee of truckin ' at proms? Or, tense, in that last vital play in a crucial basketball game? That ' s the Mary most of us know — the all-around good sport, the life of the party, and the source of a stream of fun which Rowed throughout the college. Slim, gay, and unfailingly energetic, she contributed more than her share of the enthusiasm which we had as a class. Then there is the more serious girl, sincere, steadfast, and sympathetic, who won the devotion of her intimate friends. We believe that Mary will go far because of her unusually well-balanced personality. Major: English Literature Minors: English Composition, English History Lampas Staff (Assistant Advertising Manager); Welfare Club; Athletic Association; Literary Club. ANNA MARIE CONNOLLY A graceful poplar Bending with The passing breeze. Anna ' s quick wit and fine scholastic ability make her a girl worth cultivating. Not onlyisshean able dispenser of mirth, but like all good friends, she has genuine under- standing. Her sympathy is never maudlin, but is tempered with wisdom, sincerity, and true warmth. That Anna ' s popularity is not limited to the class, but exte nds through- out the whole college is shown by her activities in the Commercial and Geography Clubs, in both of which she has held important offices. Of her success we are assured, for we are confident that her gifts will carry Anna far.

To every activity during her college years Mary has brought genuine enthusiasm and boundless energy. A new idea lighting her eyes has dismayed some of us, because inevitably it was the signal for work. Mary not only accomplishes an unbelievable amount of work herself, but manages to inspire the laziest of us with her spirit so that our willing shoulders are soon found at the traditional wheel. Mary has left a concrete and per- sonal contribution to The Teachers College in the long desired History Club paper, which, under her able guidance, has become a reality, — The Boston Courier.

HELEN ROSE COTTER A bright June day With pleasant Flower-scented air. Helen ' s twinkling eyes at once attract to her those other fun-loving souls who see and appreciate the humor of everyday occurrences as she does. Her friendly smile and pleasant disposition put them immediately at their ease, and they find themselves merry members of the gay group about her. Helen has had an indispensa- ble part in our college years. Never gloomy or moody, she has greeted each happening as an adventure and faced it with enthusiasm. Her charming personality and keen sense of humor assure her an honored place in our book of memories.

Whatever Alice undertakes is sure to be accomplished in a skillful, capable, efficient way,- her efficiency makes her a helpful classmate and a valued friend. Poise and cheerful good nature, with quiet wit and humor, have proved an irresistible combination. We have often, perhaps too often, taken advantage of her dependabil- ity; yet her attitude never discouraged our presumption. She has, further, a winning personality with children, especially the very little ones whom she has chosen to teach. We are in the bounds of certainty when we fore- fell a successful future for Alice.

Catherine, who appears to be a shy, quiet member of the class, is in reality a lively and fun-loving person. She is always willing to give generously of her time and energy to help her classmates. Whether we wanted help in the method of teaching an obscure point in arithmetic, or a car for a jaunt to some favorite spot for a between-class snack, Catherine was the person whom we sought, and we were never disappointed. Catherine has charmed us all with her gentle manner and thought- ful consideration.

Edith has always been quiet and unassuming, yet her influence was always felt. Her graciousness and the unobtrusive dignity of her manner have won for her a special place in our hearts. Always ready to help any- one, who asks she is particularly loved by those who have received her kindnesses. She has outstanding ability to secure the co-operation of others in carrying a project to completion, as is evidenced by her club leadership. Edith will always be remembered as a congenial girl with a friendly word for everyone, and a manner we all strove to imitate.

ADELINE DELL ARIA Red-winged blackbird; Delicate china on A candle-lit table. Although seemingly quiet, Adeline proves herself a lively conversationalist who, through her words, reveals an enthusiastic and optimistic nature, an interest in people, and an appreciation of art, literature, and music. The imaginative strain in her personality is re- sponsible for her originality, which finds expression in her splendid art work. Adeline recently demonstrated a hitherto undiscovered dramatic ability when she took part in Marivaux ' s Jeu de L ' amour et du Hasard, presented by Le Cercle Francois. To find so many artistic talents in a person who has not a trace of the so-called temperament usually associated with such gifts is a real discovery, and a delightful one.

Bea ' s character is one of amazing versatility. Her sweet serenity as the Madonna in the Christmas Tableau will be long remembered. To leap from the sublime to the ridiculous, recall her antics as the fore part of a donkey at the Christmas party and her representation of Martha Raye with evening gown and ski boots at the Junior Soiree. With such a display of talent on her part, we still think her greatest claim for admiration, respect, and friendship is her tirelessness as a worker. Bea ' s artistic talent, her unfailing sense of. humor, and her loyalty complete a well-rounded personality.

HARRIET AGNES DENNISON Bright poppy By a woodland path; A delicate mosaic. Do you need an announcement for Assembly or a skit for a club meeting? See Harriet Dennison. She has a positive genius for extricating unfortunate classmates from verbal difficulties, and can be counted upon to supply a new idea at the crucial moment. Her auburn hair and delicate features make her a replica of a Titian portrait, but there the resemblance stops, for nothing could be less like the calm apathy of a painting than Harriet ' s gay enthusiasm. Dancing and reading Dorothy Parker are two of her many interests, and the spark of impishness in her eyes reveals the spirit of youthfulness which will always be a part of her.

When people say Millie, we think immediately of chuckles and dimples — particularly dimples. Early in our Freshman year, we found that we could not resist her gayety and spontaneity. She is as wholesome as a bright and rosy apple, and there is something in her manner of an apple ' s characteristic tang. Of many and varied interests, she took an important part in almost all of our school functions from proms to basket-ball games. Her joyous laugh was the happy obligato to almost everything we did. Is it any wonder that, without exception, we are proud to call her our friend? Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Athletic Association (First Vice-President ' 39); Geography Club,- Music Club. MARGARET MARY DONNELLY A casement open Above the bright Spires of hollyhocks. Margaret is one of those unusual persons who, though unobtrusive, make their presence pleasantly felt by their associates and even by slight acquaintances. In her quiet, reserved way she has won a large group of friends and has made a lasting impression upon those who have come to know her. Paradoxically speaking, she is always in the background, yet ever at the fore. By her dignity she will command respect, and she will undoubtedly attain the high ideals for which she is striving.

Dorothy has no alternative,- she must plead guilty of making us discontented. Why? Don ' t tell us you are so blessed by nature that you have never wished for a flawless complexion, blond beauty, or an interesting vibrant voice like hers. Haven ' t you ever wished you could play the violin and piano as Dorothy plays them, or that you might go to just one hop at West Point? All these qualities, however, have only made us dis- contented with ourselves, never envious of Dorothy ' s talents, for she has made us slaves of her charming per- sonality, and you may add our names to the long list of her admiring friends. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Class Treasurer ' 39; Welfare Club; Commercial Club; Drama Club,- Music Club; String Ensemble MARY LOUISE DRINKWATER College pennants At a football game,- Organdy evening gown. We think of Mary as the embodiment of all the qualities allotted to the typical American girl. Gay, attractive, and fond of dancing, she has an air of youth and vitality which is truly refreshing. Her multiplicity of interests is shown by the variety of clubs to which she has belonged and her co-operation by the wholehearted support which she has given to all their undertakings. Her winning personality and cheerful disposition have won her many warm friends during her college years — friends who we are sure will not drift away in the years to come.

Perhaps it is Eleanor ' s love of fun and excitement that makes her so popular among the girls at the college. Perhaps it is her good sportsmanship and willingness to co-operate and volunteer when she sees that her services are needed. Perhaps it is her sympathetic nature and friendly attitude toward all with whom she comes in contact. Could it be her wit and good humor? What- ever it is, we must admit that our musical young friend is one of the most popular and best-loved girls we know.

RHODA ITTA ENGELMAN Miniature framed In gold and brown silk; Violets by a cool stream. Sweet is the word for Rhoda. Her restful disposition, gracious ways, and calm smile give her an air of tranquil distinction which makes her stand out among her class- mates. Because of her perseverance, and a capacity for doing work quietly and effectively, Rhoda is one of out most efficient bus ' ness women. Her humorous side- remarks and goodnatured drollery make her a good companion as well. Although she is modest and unassum- ing, Rhoda has not been abie to disguise her true worth and ability.

Winifred has that rare characteristic which we all long to possess, — a real enthusiasm for living. She has a merry spirit which enables her to set a group laughing at a moment ' s notice, but in her more serious hours she is an efficient student, intensely interested in the current events of the world and in her college studies. Many an interesting discussion has been stimulated by her wit, and her facility in expressing herself has often aided us in clearing up some obscure point. Winifred ' s sincerity will aid her in making a success of her career.

ESTHER FILENE Bonbons Delicately tinted Seen through Flimsy tissue paper. There is a marked efficiency and a willing co-operation about Esther which endear her to all those fortunate enough to know her. We always felt sure that we could depend upon her, whether it was to serve on a tea com- mittee, decorate a hall, or aid in any class activity. Her character is basically serious, but she is the lucky possessor of a lively sense of humor. In class, she has given ample indication of a penetrating mind. She has the ability to see problems clearly and to state conclu- sions concisely. Our discussions were always the more stimulating for her presence. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Music Club. {40} ANN FINKEL Puck walks again With words of wisdom And with jest. We admire a person who can voice her convictions and can stand by them. Although Ann, with her sunny smile and happy laughter, does not seem to be of this class, she has been known to state her opinions in the face of strenuous opposition. A sincere interest in literature and literary achievement make us value her opinions, given so spontaneously, on that subject. She expresses her originality both in her writing and her art work. Her personality is colored by her keen sense of the ridiculous, which is evident in much she says or does. Major: English Minor: Art Welfare Club,- Art Club (Treasurer ' 38); Literary Club. AGNES TERESA FITZGERALD The calm stillness Of a perfect Summer day. A wealth of humor and originality lies behind Agnes ' s serious and unobtrusive manner. Her bright smile reveals a charm too often hidden by shyness and reserve. For those who know her well, Agnes presents her real self, — her sweet temper, lively wit, and interesting personal- ity. It is worth the effort of drawing Agnes out, — to discover her delightful sense of humor which enlivens the most commonplace incident with a delicate touch of wit. Her classmates appreciate their friendship with Agnes and will always remember her with pleasure.

Her gay personality and pleasant smile have won the admiration of us all. As Chairman of Junior Week, Flan worked untiringly to make the affairs successful, both financially and socially. A strong and enthusiastic member of the Welfare Club, she employed her energy and winning ways to obtain help for the less fortunate. Flan combines the will to succeed and the ability to do so, and you may be sure that her classmates are rooting for her! Keep it up, Flan!

WILMA FRIEDBERG Tawny wheat In the sunlight Under a deep blue sky. What is Wilma made of? Intelligence, friendliness, and a quiet sense of humor are a few of the ingredients of her gentle personality. It takes patience to penetrate the surface of her calm reserve; but patience, as always, is rewarded with something worthwhile, — in this case, an appreciation of the real Wilma. Her unruffled poise and quiet good nature are soothing in the fever of examination days, while her ability to see the humor in commonplace happenings reveals a well-balanced sense of proportion Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know her well have gained much that is valuable from our friendship with Wilma.

Adeline ' s lovely dark eyes reveal her pleasant person- ality and her keen intelligence. Her winning smile sends out a cheery warmth conducive to friendship. Always gay and cheerful, Adeline is a comfortable sort of person to have about, especially on exam days, gloomy Mondays, and the day when you discover that you are six months behind in the reading for your stiffest course. She is an efficient and conscientious worker, with a perseverance which will certainly stand her in good stead in the future. Most of all, however, we shall remember Adeline as a refuge when a feller needs a friend.

Use them all and still you will not have fully described Eleanor ' s character. Dignity and poise? Yes, for through these qualities she has aroused our con- fidence, but it is through her friendliness and winning manner that she has kept and strengthened our trust. To do their best is enough for most people, but Eleanor does more. Her slogan and plea, co-operation, has become a college by-word with which many a less enthusiastic girl has been spurred on to greater effort. We feel that we chose well in according Eieanor the highest honor our school affords by making her President of the Self-Government Association.

Although appearing unruffled and calm, Pauline is really a very active girl of many interests. It is still a source of wonder to her classmates that she finds the time and energy for college work, and various musical activities in school and out. A talented musician, she has been an indispensable part of all our college enter- tainments. She has readily won many friends with her happy disposition, wit, and love of fun. Knowing Pauline has been one of our most pleasant experiences. Major: Music Minor: English Welfare Club; Literary Club; Music Club; String Ensemble. KATHERINE GODFREY A prism In the sunlight, Flashing rainbows. In writing [Catherine ' s biography one would not be at a loss for material, but rather for adequate words. Kather- ine is tops in everything she does, and she seems to do everything. Her exceptional scholastic record is no secret. Her ability as a leader was well demonstrated when, as our Class President, she guided us through our memorable Junior year. That her capabilities are not limited even to these lines of endeavor is evinced by her proficiency in the field of sports. When the Class of ' 39 holds its reunions, no one will be more enthu- siastically welcomed than (Catherine.

The charm and stimulation of Beatrice ' s personality are due in part to the diversity of her moods, for whether she is serious or lighthearted, the phase appearing at the moment seems most delightful to us. She combines in her nature keen wit and vivacity with an undercurrent of serious purpose and diligent work. To every activity during her college years Beatrice has brought an energy, an evenness of temper, and a willingness to co-operate as refreshing as they are unusual. Her genuine sociabil- ity and sincere interest in people have gained her numerous friends who join in wishing her good fortune on her way. Special-Class Course Lampas Staff (Section Editor); Welfare Club (Settlement House Work); Art Club. DORIS GOLDBERG Mother-of-pearl, Glinting hidden fire And misty rainbows. A keen mind, high ideals, and well-defined standards enable Doris to appreciate the best things of life. Books, music, and dress-designing are her hobbies,- for besides a love of the arts, she has a flair for sewing, and designs and makes all of her own clothes. With all her varied activities, Doris finds time to be a sincere friend and an excellent companion. Perhaps the secret of her success lies in her understanding of the art of being a good listener. Although Doris is often full of fun, she finds life essentially serious, and we believe that this attitude, together with her quiet and under- standing nature, will contribute greatly to her success.

It has often been said that a true mathematician never dismisses a problem until it has been solved. Those of us who have been in close contact with Harriet know that nothing ever leaves her hands unfinished or incor- rect. Her perseverance, as well as her ability, placed her first in our scholastic ranks. These qualities, too, insured her success as the Business Manager of our Lampas. Without her, the yearbook would never have been so fine. May the difficulties she will meet in life be conquered with the same efficiency with which she has solved the problems of her favorite subject!

RUTH ANN GORDON Red sails Outlined against a warm sky; Laughter echoing over the water. We always call her Rags, — such a friendly, informal little nickname. One can ' t be very cold to someone called Rags, can one? But even if her name were Hepzibah — no, not even then, could we be cold to Ruth. The personality that has attracted a host of friends has held an unquestionable charm for us, too. Hers is a sparkling wit, ingenuity, and individuality, and, to top it all, an exceptionally keen mind. It is only because we liked her so much that we could forgive her outrageously high marks.

Our life ' s ambition! First, to keep pace with Rose as she strides along with that athletic step developed partly by tennis playing and partly by a firm determination to convince the world that the day of fluttering femininity is past; second, to acquire somehow such a fund of mental energy as that which stimulates her interest in so many pursuits, — economics, history, and literature, to name but a few,- third, to keep our bearings in an argu- ment with Rose, for often, by her keen logic, she has shattered some favorite theory of ours. May we some day realize our ambition!

RUTH LILLIAN GRUENEWALD Salvia Bordering a neat Garden path. Here is a small girl who has won a large place in the hearts of her friends and classmates. Her energy, ver- satility, and capacity for getting things done are greatly out of proportion to her stature. As a councillor she has proved herself efficient and methodical,- as a friend, sympathetic and loyal; and as a companion, amusing honest, and natural. Who could ask for more? Not we, certainly, for Ruthie with her pleasant disposition and ready smile will figure in some of our brightest memories of college days.

Betty ' s sober countenance shows that she takes her work seriously. Do not, however, overlook her sparkling wit. Her humor is of the subtle kind which her intimate friends especially appreciate and enjoy. We value her friend- ship highly because she has learned the art of getting along with others. Betty ' s dependability is unquestioned, and everything she undertakes is done well. Although timidity is unknown to her, aggression likewise is a stranger to her character. Betty obtains noteworthy results through sincere application and quiet forcefulness.

EVELYN HARVEY Starched white middies, Cheering crowds, The tense interest of a basketball game. It is the misfortune of all treasurers that we always asso- ciate them — and not in the most pleasant sense — with money. Yet, somehow, in her role as councillor, Evelyn managed to combine all the art of a Fuller Brush man with a charm that excused her outstretched palm. She served as a magnet to attract class dues from the most reluctant of us. Even more energy than she gave to the Council she gave to the basketball team, on which she played forward so successfully. Hers is the true team spirit, in school or out; she is the personification of that quality which we call good sportsmanship.

Perhaps she wasn ' t — but she surely might have been — the original inspiration of the saying that little girls are made of sugar and spice and all things nice. If there is even the tiniest spark of temper beneath her calm, serene manner, it is so well hidden that Mary herself must be unaware of it. Inevitably her activities in school have been varied and pleasant. Her leader- ship in the Classical Club, especially, made this an out- standing year in its history. Can such ability and such character fail to insure success?

MARIE HELEN HERLIHY A tiny figure in Full-skirted crinoline. Below, the tips of dainty slippers. This isn ' t a gown, it ' s a dream, said the reader, and Marie stepped onto the stage, a vision, in pale blue and gold. The scene was Collins Hall during the fashion show of our S. S. Lampas Revue, Marie was surprise model. The role was not a strange one for her. Petite and charming, she always looks as if she has just emerged, very nonchalantly, from a band-box. Her personality complements her appearance. Those who manage to resist her eyes fall victims to her sincere and unaffected manner. If French dolls could teach, we know that they would look, and act, just like Marie.

Although she has always been quiet and very unassum- ing, Mary has made her presence felt by her generosity and quiet cooperation. We, as well as our instructors, learned early to depend upon her,- her work was a constant reminder that a thing worth doing is worth doing well. Especially noteworthy was her lovely, painstaking work in art. We all remember, though it seems ages ago, her Freshman poetry anthologies which put all of our puny efforts to shame. We hope that her life will make as lovely a pattern as she has made of her school years. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Drama Club; Music Club; Poetry Club. ETHEL HURWITZ Ribbon candy; Touch of scarlet On a lame blouse. Ethel is an energetic young lady with a sunny disposition and an even temper. Her success as councillor for two years and her work as Secretary of the Art Club have demonstrated her ability, as well as her willingness to cooperate. In addition, her vivid personality suggests stores of energy as yet unutilized. With her cheerful smile of greeting, as familiar to her classmates as the college itself, Ethel has displayed a certain genuine friendliness which would melt the coldest heart. She has won us all and we pay her a high tribute in saying that we wish that life may be as pleasant for Ethel as she has been to us.

No one ever attains perfection in this imperfect world, but a few approach it more nearly than the rest. Of these few, Rose is one. Look at her face,- it is lovely with intelligent sweetness. Examine her mind, and you are impressed by its keen alertness. Spend an hour in her company, you are quickly convinced that social grace is a vital part of her personality. Her character is all that these evidences imply. Though Teachers College must lose Rose, the Junior High School is fortunate to gain her as a teacher.

ESTELLE ISENBERG A robin on a tree-top, Brilliant in color; his song Piercing the sunlight. A fresh, crisp, invigorating breeze — yes, that is what Estelle is like when she enters a room, and we feel her invigorating presence. Her sparkling, bright eyes, her ready wit, and her infectious laugh are a tonic which we have all learned to appreciate within these last four years. We will always think of her as ours — a delightful, charming little companion upon whom we could rely to brighten the less colorful days of our college career. We thank you, Estelle, for your fun, and may you continue along the same merry way toward the goals you have set for yourself.

Martha is one of the few who have the gift of coming immediately to the point. Her keen mind rejects the non-essentials and proceeds at once to the heart of the knottiest problem. This talent has served her well in her courses and has proved a large factor in her excellent scholastic record. Naturalness is another of Martha ' s outstanding characteristics. Never flustered, never moody, always the same calm and cheerful little person, she has been a Gibraltar of composure during our college years, and a tower of strength and comfort to many of her classmates.

MARY JOSEPHINE JOHNSTON Sparkling Stardust; A gay robin Singing of spring. Mary is everybody ' s friend. The fact that she is somewhat quieter than many of us, is probably one reason that we are so fond of her. Like a good book, she needs no advertising to praise her qualities, and once having known her, we are not satisfied until she has become one of our own circle of friends. She has the incredible gift of combining work and play in just the right degree. As a result, she is always able to enter whole-heartedly into what is to be done at the moment. May she have every happiness and good fortune!

In energy and willingness to work, Fay has usually put us to shame. She is the girl whom, if we were awarding superlatives to our classmates, we should label the Best Committee Member. In college, we think immediately of her contributions to the Welfare Club, both in enthu- siasm and in concrete achievements. Outside of college she has been particularly active in girls ' club work in a Neighborhood House, devoting much time and more energy toward making her own educational efforts successful, and toward interesting others in a like cause. Her ambitions are unlimited,- may they all be realized.

Eleanor ' s neatness and quiet efficiency show to advantage in typewriting classes, while her unassuming and easy manner combine with a loyal and generous disposition to make her one of the most pleasing girls in the class.

A blond head atop an oh-so-soft angora sweater — to all of us those words must conjure up the picture of Ruth. Through four years of green-eyed envy, we strove to imitate her nonchalant manner of always looking like a Vogue picture of What the Well-Dressed College Girl Should Wear. But beneath the yellow hair, the downy sweater, were the head and heart that made her always our friend. Our two most important years at college — the first and the last — we kept her to ourselves, as our own class President. The other two years we generously lent her to the rest of the school as Treasurer and Vice-President or the Self-Government Association May she always be — just our Ruth.

In her serene and un- assuming way, she has created a favorable impression not only as a student, but as a sympathetic, generous friend. Those who know her best see her as a genial, fun-loving personality. Her sense of humor is exception- ally subtle,- her wit has often lightened the atmosphere of a tense situation. It was inevitable that Mary ' s tactful, understanding, friendly manner should have won her a circle of friends more precious than gold.

Not only is Millie lovely to look at, but she is lovely to know. Her personality made itself felt early in our college career, when we recognized her talents by making her our section councillor. Needless to say, she served as ably on the Self-Government Council that year, as she has as a member of the organization ever since. She has worked on many dance committees, and has helped to make the parties both financial and social successes. The combination of charming and graceful appearance, and geniality and warmth of manner will undoubtedly win for her as many friends in her chosen profession as she has already won in school.

Anna, in her quiet and unobtrusive way, has won the esteem of us all. With a smile and a word of encourage- ment she cheered us through our bogs of work; with comforting dependability she helped committees func- tion as they should, but seldom do. Co-operation and industry have helped Anna to attain as high a standing in her studies as she holds in the estimation of her friends. Usually in the background, but none the less an indis- pensable part of the college picture, Anna has the good wishes of her classmates as surely as we know she will have the respect of all her pupils.

We greatly admire her frankness, straightforwardness, and sincerity. She has the courage to express what she thinks, so that when we seek her opinion, we may depend upon its being an honest one. From time to time one may observe a twinkle in her eyes which usually denotes that a witty remark is coming. Marie has her serious moments, too, and is capable of fine intellectual work.

Satisfaction for work well done should often come to Violet, for she has a strength of character and a diligence which are bound to bring notable results. Her equanim- ity of temper and serenity of manner have endeared her to all of us. Her appreciation of the beautiful is in- stinctive. She is co-operative, efficient, fun-loving. She has always been very quiet, very unassuming and un- obtrusive, but, to her friends, her influence has been inestimable. We already see her as a successful teacher, and our good wishes go with her.

Smart sophistication is expressed by Miriam ' s manner and appearance. Always perfectly groomed and ex- quisitely poised, she is a graceful addition to any group.

We have gained much that is valuable from our association with Miriam. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Athletic Association,- Drama Club; Alpha Circle. MARGUERITE ELIZABETH LINDSAY A merry song In the quiet Of twilight. If we were asked to choose a symbol of Marguerite ' s personality, we should select a sympathetic smile. Sym- pathy is one of her outstanding traits, and no one who has enjoyed the soothing effect of Marguerite ' s gentle voice would ever deny her genuine understanding of and feeling for the cares of others. We must mention the smile, however, to get a true picture of the girl we know, for Marguerite and her cheerful gayety are indissolubly joined in our minds. This happy combination of traits makes her a very pleasant person to have about, and we know that Marguerite will go far because of her sympathetic and cheerful nature.

Her gayety has cheered many dull and uneventful hours,- her sunny smile has brightened our most enjoyable times.

However, no Sherlock Holmes is needed to discover the charm of Kay ' s eager smile, pleasant laugh, and general warm-heartedness, for it is known to all her classmates.

Eleanor ' s ruling passion is art, in which she is both talented and original, a fact well attested by the groups of admirers that her drawings and posters in- variably attract. She rides, fences, and draws, but her open mind is ever reaching out for things yet untried. Given to whims, yet innately serious, an adventurous spirit and a practical idealist, Eleanor is fascinating to know.

Rita is usually the girl you ask for information, whether you want to know the Sociology assignment or the score of the latest football game. Her variety of interests and activities, ranging from college work to clubs, societies and dances, amazes us. We often think that she must have discovered a device for making elastic time so that she can stretch if to include all her activities, since many of us have a difficult task to make it cover half as many.

But none of these interests interferes with Marion ' s college work, for she has always maintained the Teachers College standard for scholarship. Studies will never be dull for the fortunate children who have Marion for a teacher, since her vivid and alert personal- ity will inevitably make the subject matter as vital and interesting as she herself is.

You remember her, of course, as a small bundle of wit and gaiety — but have you ever had classes with her? Have you seen her as the ardent champion of the poor and the underdog in Economics or in Sociology?

A variety of interests has kept Anne on the go for four years. Undoubtedly, it is because she wastes so much less time than we do that she gets so much more done. Music has been, to her, a hobby that is almost a profession. She has studied the piano intensively, and with appreciation. Her knowledge of education has served her well, for, as a piano teacher, she has at- tracted a steadily increasing number of pupils. We don ' t have, to wish Anne success,- her own energy and enter- prise are adequate guarantees that she will reach the goals which she has set for herself.

Now that our four years are over, we can look back and say, What would we have done without Eliza- beth? She was the obliging musician who was always ready to play the piano for the gym class, or for dancing at lunch or after classes. Her playing is characteristic of everything Elizabeth does, for efficiency and enthusi- asm are the keynotes of all her work. In addition to maintaining her high standing at the college and developing her musical talent, she finds time to direct a very active troop of Scouts. We hope that success will be the dominant chord in Elizabeth ' s life, and that the minor strains will be few.

Knowing Anna is an adventure in friendship of the deep and lasting kind, based on quiet understanding and steady loyalty. Ready intelligence and a twinkle of humor help to round out the character which has left a lasting impression upon her classmates and the college as a whole. The Drama Club, especially, will long remember Anna ' s year as its President, for during that time several long-cherished dreams of the organiza- tion were realized; — notably its workshop and its paper, The Spotlight. That they became realities is a tribute to the executive ability, perseverance, and un- tiring enthusiasm which Anna brought to the work. One cannot know her without sensing a reserve of quiet power and driving energy; — a will to do which will spur Anna to great achievements.

We are sure that many committees would have been far less effective had it not been for Betty ' s help, her original ideas, and her genuine interest in the work at hand.

But then, it is not necessary to go into detail, for who of us will ever forget Kay? Her antics in and out of class, her outstanding ability in all kinds of sports, her impromptu dramatiza- tions, and her buoyant spirit will always be remembered. Sympathetic in an extraordinary degree, she has never been guilty of having fun at the expense of others.

Poise, personality, precision, and perfect groom- ing combine to make Ruth one of the outstanding girls in the class, both in appearance and in scholarship. Any task given into her capable hands will be completed in an effective and efficient manner.

SYLVIA MOGOLISKY Happy children Playing amid the blooms Of a cherry orchard. A sweet and friendly nature is revealed in the glance of Sylvia ' s lovely blue eyes. We are instantly attracted by her pleasing manner, her frankness, and her sincerity, and our first impressions prove to be correct. The longer we know her, the more we are drawn to Sylvia by the charm of her personality and the fineness of her character. Such a completely unaffected and natural person is a rare discovery and one to be treasured. You may be sure that Sylvia holds a coveted place in our esteem.

Rita is a curious blend of airiness and wit. The com- plexities of her personality make it difficult to single out any characteristic as the one we shall remember best in future years, but to most of us her name will conjure up the picture of the charming Snow White whose lovely vibrant voice contributed so much to the success of our Junior Soiree. It is difficult to predict a future for our versatile Class Secretary, so we shall attempt no proph- ecy, and be content with wishing her every success in her operatic, literary, and pedagogical aspirations.

DOROTHY LOUISE MORRIS Nosegay In pink lace,- Ruffled party dress. To call Dorothy diminutive is an incomplete descrip- tion. She is small in stature only. The quotation, How far that little candle throws his beams, expresses the sort of person we know her to be, — with her varied associations and breadth of interests. Ability and per- severance, added to her natural capacity for accom- plishing the task at hand, have contributed to her present success. May she continue to radiate good will and always add to the happiness of others as much as she has to the joy of our college days.

When we think of Peg, we remember most clearly the Grand March of one of our best Self-Government proms — that held during our Junior year. She led that march, poised and assured, slim in a sleek white crepe which accented the brilliant red of the flowers in her arms. We had reason to be proud of her appearance at our head, as well as of the success which, as Chairman of the Dance Committee, she made of the prom. Peg has also led her section as Councillor and her class as Vice- with efficiency and characteristic President, always good humor.

ELIZABETH ANNE MURRAY The etched clearness Of a cameo In a gold setting. A pretty face, against a background of charm and poise, is irresistible — and we have always found Betty so. Her cheerful disposition has emphasized and in- tensified her popularity. As a member of various dance committees, Betty worked tirelessly to make each affair a social and financial success, and in all cases, her work was well rewarded. Her gay manner and merry smile cannot fail to win the hearts of her future pupils as, early in our college career, they won ours. We see a bright and sunlit road before her, and hope that our paths may cross again.

Meet our class ' s Miss Efficiency Expert! No, not the type of Miss Efficiency Expert who wears horn-rimmed glasses and a tailored suit, but the thoroughly charming girl we know as Mary Nolan. Her claims to the efficien- cy title are not without foundation, however, for she has been Manager of the College Store, Advertising Manager of the Lampas, Welfare Aid, and an ener- getic member of innumerable committees. That her com- petence is not limited to any one field of activity is shown by het equally admirable scholastic achievement and her unquestioned social success. How can she help succeeding in her life work?

EILEEN HATTON NORTON A gold-bound book; Tranquil blue smoke Rising over housetops. A good teacher should be a good example for her pupils. We feel that in Eileen her future pupils will have an excellent model to imitate. Always even-tempered, always gracious, with a bright smile and a sweet voice, Eileen has a charming disposition. Serious about her work, yet merry when the occasion warrants it, she is a delightful companion for one ' s every mood. We feel sure that Eileen ' s lovely nature, her sincerity of purpose, and her desire to do something really worthwhile will aid her in attaining her ideal.

In the future we shall recall with pleasure the cheery smile and ready laugh with which Miriam scattered sun- shine along the paths of college life. Such constant happiness and contentment make her a joy to herself as well as to her friends. She has a fund of energy which she applies to her studies without seeming to be busy. Good nature lights her face and is expressed in her every action. We could not let her pass from our circle without voicing our appreciation of such a rare disposi- tion.

Mary ' s poise is the most noticeable of her qualities. She always has an air of quiet assurance and smiling nonchalance. Her serenity is remarkable, for nothing ever disconcerts Mary,- she does her work with a quiet efficiency which we can admire but not imitate. As our Freshman councillor she led us through the mazes of new and bewildering experiences with sure-footed ease,- as a welfare aid she worked hard for many worthy causes. As a friend she has a permanent place in our hearts.

Oo} MARGARET MARY O ' HARE A crisp day In October; A clear blue lake. Interest, industry, and intelligence characterize Mar- garet. She is efficiency personified; — you will never find her wasting time, but always in the midst of the work, and getting it done. What is more, she will be doing it with a smile, for Margaret has a willing and generous nature. She seems to feel that whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well, and cheerfully. Her smiling friendliness and warm generosity have made her a valued member of the class, and we feel that with her many admirable qualities she is a girl of whom we can be justifiably proud. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Athletic Association; Classical Club (Treasurer ' 37, President ' 38, Vice-President ' 39). MARY ELIZABETH O ' HARE A shining field Of buttercups In the morning sun. Can we think of anything pleasanter than an O ' Hare? Yes! Two O ' Hares! Mary, no less than ' her sister Margaret, has endeared herself to all of her class- mates. As councillor for two years, she proved herself a capable and reliable representative, and in her various club activities she showed her willingness to help whenever help was needed. But the qualities which really won us were her cheerful nature and her perseverance. A friendly spirit and generous warm- heartedness have gained Mary many a victory over reserve and shyness in her acquaintances. It is girls like Mary who make good friends, good students, and good teachers.

One could hardly find a pleasanter or a more entertain- ing companion than Mary. Those who meet her casually know her as a gay and witty conversationalist, well versed in the art of exchanging pleasantries. Those who count her as a friend know where to find intelligent advice and an optimistic outlook on life. Tact, so im- portant a quality for all of us, is her treasure, which she employs in dealing with her friends and acquaintances. Her sympathetic understanding and quiet composure have endeared her ro her classmates. In short, Mary is an enthusiastic yet well-poised individual.

Elsa ' s friendly, gracious manner has won her many friends at Teachers College. Her not too calm serenity and her modesty have not concealed her capabilities both as a student and as a person. She has a combina- tion of ability and diligence in many and varied fields of interest in which her loyalty and good sportsmanship have been evident. Those of us who know her best have learned to depend upon her sincerity, her unfailing good humor, her sweet and gracious ways. No matter what her ambitions are, we know that she will be suc- cessful.

Wherever Doris is, one is sure to find fun and merriment. The popularity which she enjoys is well deserved. Her happy laugh and ready quip have been bright spots in our existence since Freshman days, and those of us who knew her intimately will always remember her ability to start the party going and to furnish entertainment at a moment ' s notice. With all her gaiety, Doris has main- tained a high scholastic standing, and we are sure that success will be an easy prize for her generous nature and joyous disposition. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club; Athletic Association,- Commercial Club; Geography Club. VIOLET ISOBEL PILKINGTON Swish of taffeta; Surf whitening A sandy coast. Violet ' s sophisticated appearance is deceptive, for she is a thoroughly human and down-to-earth person. She is happiest in a pair of overalls and a sweater, with her hair blowing in the wind, browsing about on her be- loved old farm in Cape Breton. To those who know her well, Violet would not be Violet without her inter- esting and amusing tales of Cape Breton vacations. Her talent for art finds expression in drawing, — pencil drawing in particular, although she has done fine work in other mediums. Music and art, in which she is ab- sorbed, are sure to enrich and deepen Violet ' s life.

Peg is one of the most animated members of our class. Fun always accompanies her, casting out im- mediately any dullness in the atmosphere. Her sense of humor equals her unbounded enthusiasm. We recall with delight her representation of a certain one-eyed, rollicking, spinach-eating gentleman of the sea at a Christmas Party. Peg is sought by every team on the athletic field, because she is a deadly opponent with whom to compete. No one was ever known to speak ill of Peg, nor have we ever heard her speak ill of anyone. She plays the game! Major: Mathematics Minor: General Science Welfare Club,- Athletic Association; Drama Club; Mathe- matics Society. MARGARET ELEANOR POWELL Twinkling stars,- Sparkling waters; Fresh-cut greens. Margaret, as a Freshman, was very different from the Peggy of our Senior days. Some important change took place. All at once the wall of reserve gave way, re- vealing her charming, sparkling personality. Her merry, dancing eyes are full of gayety and charm. We value Peggy as a sympathetic confidante and a conscientious, willing worker. She may be relied upon to brighten the dullest situation with an original quip. Peggy is sincere and unaffected, unaware of her charm and of the place she has won in the hearts of her classmates.

If you have some bitter philosophy derived from your experiences with life ' s hardships, do not propound it to Doris. For although she will listen very politely for a while, soon a mischievous twinkle in her eyes and an apt witticism will make your pessimism seem ridiculous However disconcerting this unexpected treatment may be, it is good for the soul because Doris ' s humor is the gentle kind that soothes ruffled nerves and wins many friends. This humor enlivens her whimsical literary style and embellishes our Lampas. If she decides to embark upon a career of writing, Leacock and Morley, beware!

RUTH LORRAINE PRENDERGAST Cinnamon cake,- Gingham Scottie With a red bow. Prendy has the happy faculty of banishing gloom with her cheerful smile. Her gift of sympathetic understand- ing adds greatly to her value as a friend. Also, Ruth is the ideal confidante, one who never violates a trust. Her willingness to co-operate in any worthwhile venture makes us believe that her success will be assured. Her perseverance, her cheerful nature, and her genuine friendliness have all contributed to Prendy ' s popular- ity, not only in her class, but throughout the college.

Would it be hyperbole to call Millie the epitome of kindly serenity? No ; for her calm, soothing influence is felt at once by all who meet her. Never once have we seen Millie flustered or distraught. Even in the midst of what appeared to be the most harrowing of circum- stances, Millie was always calm, poised, and efficient, serenely doing whatever was expected of her. Such poise and evenness of disposition constitute a rare gift which we, who know Millie, readily appreciate and envy. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Le Cercle Francois,- Music Club. MARY ELIZABETH QUIGLEY Sparkling Christmas lights, Friendly voices, And merry laughter. Generous is the word for Mary. To the Welfare Club, especially, she has devoted much of her time and energy. The sincerity and unselfish effort of such girls as she have made the Club a smoothly functioning organization. Mary, at all times, appears serene and unworried, and her attitude has contributed much, in calm, to our class. She has been a steadfast and able scholar, and an equal- ly steadfast friend. The college thanks her for being an exemplification of its true spirit. We thank the college for having given us the opportunity to meet and learn to know such a fins girl Major: English Literature Minors: English Composition, English History Lampas Staff (Assistant Advertising Manager); Welfare Club; Drama Club; Literary Club; Le Cercle Frangais. {76} HELEN ROONEY Merry elf Dancing to A gay tune. Take eyes with an impish twinkle, hair with a fascinating curl, and an inexhaustible supply of fun, — mix them together and what have you? You have a partial ex- planation of Helen ' s popularity. To go into a full explanation would take far more space than we have here, and would involve mention of her dreamy piano playing, her efficient chairmanship of the Car Check Committee, and her liking for delicious chocolate cook- ies, — especially just before lunch. We are sure that Helen will greet the world with her irresistible smile, and when she does, even the hard old world will have to smile back at her.

Though she is conscientious in her studies, she still finds time for unlimited extra-curricular activities and for her varied outside interests which use up every spare minute. Her keen understanding of children and their interests endears her to them, and they, as well as the circle of students in the college who are well acquainted with her, have found her a generous ' and sympathetic friend.

Kae, our own charming colleen, is one to whom we are deeply indebted for a large proportion of the bright spots of our life at Teachers College. After four years of close friendship, the manifold complexities of her personality still amaze us. Immediately attracted by her refreshing, teasing wit, we stayed to marvel at her extraordinary ability. As we learned to appreciate her sincerity, sympathy, and true sportsmanship, our admira- tion and respect for her increased. Congratulations to you, Kae, on your coming success, for we know already, just by knowing you, that success will be yours!

ETHEL SCHOLNICK The mute invitation Of row upon row Of beautiful books. Ethel ' s keen, penetrating mind is one which we shall long remember with gratitude. There was no sluggish or slipshod thinking on our part when she was present. Very often she startled us out of a state of incipient somnolence by her pertinent, pointed questions. Our greatest admiration was waked, however, not by the logical, analytical cast of her mind, but by her general attitude. She is truly a person with the strength of her convictions. If she has reached what she believes is the solution to the particular problem at hand, she can always be counted on to present clear-cut, straightforward arguments in support of her contention.

A scintillating smile and laughing eyes express Tilly ' s charming personality. Her carefree attitude, however, does not obscure the serious student we know her to be. A fixed determination to push each task to comple- tion, once it is begun, has been a factor in Tilly ' s scholas- tic success. We have found that any missing link of in- formation can usually be supplied from her encyclopedic store of knowledge. Worthy of note is the attitude with which Tilly faces each new event; each is a new ad- venture to be met with interest and vigor. Life itself cannot be other than a glorious adventure for so vital a person.

CLAIRE DOLORES SHEERIN The patter of rain In a light Summer shower. Claire is quick, lively, and full of fun. Small of stature but large of heart, she has won a host of friends through her sunny cheerfulness. She is much in demand at every gathering because of her delightful sense of humor and her witty remarks, but she remains modest and un- assuming, in spite of her popularity. Generous as she is cheerful, friendly as she is sympathetic, Claire is seldom seen without a bright smile lighting her face. The student body has gained much by having her as a member.

The sparkle and vivacity of Lillian ' s personality are well balanced by a keen and capable mind. The facility with which she makes friends is only less remarkable than the ease with which she maintains a place on the Dean ' s List. In her many class and club activities we have found Lillian always dependable, always ready with a new suggestion, always willing to help in any w ay possible. Although she has many enviable achievements to her credit, Lillian is always modest, charming, thought- ful, and considerate. We may well profit by her example.

It comes from her cheerful smile, her never-failing neatness, her sense of humor, and the million and one surprises that make up her per- sonality. A willing listener, an interesting speaker, and an energetic worker are all combined in Jo. We wonder where she finds the time to keep up with her classes, enjoy her varied outside interests, and still have opportunity to make herself always look so per- fectly groomed. Jo holds the record for never having come in looking as though she boarded a street car three minutes after arising.

Take a basically serious character, add enough sparkle and vivacity for flavor, and top it off with a decided flair for the musical and the dramatic, and you will have Pearl. Those of us who saw her fine performance in The Gondoliers readily admit that this girl will cer- tainly find happiness and success in her life work. As would be expected, music and dramatics are uppermost in her interest, but literature, also, has an important place. Her wide range of activities, her talents, and her vivid personality taken together, make Pearl an outstanding member of our class.

Barbara ' s is a very forthright personality, characterized by keen enthusiasms, and strong likes and dislikes. Her mature outlook and reactions, however, do not prevent the flashing wit we shall remember so well as enlivening the classroom. She is dependable and very versatile. Besides being adept in the domestic arts, she is interested also in the fine arts. Her hobbies include riding, fencing, and traveling. Her poised and efficient chairmanship of the Junior Banquet Committee contributed to the banquet ' s outstanding success. Charming and distinctive in manner, Barbara presents to all who come in contact with her a well-rounded, firmly integrated personality.

With no more formidable weapons than two saucy little bows in her curls and a pair of smiling eyes, Helen makes you a willing victim of her captivating personality. In the same effortless manner, she masters her studies, work- ing on the theory that the most unruly lesson will yield to kind treatment more quickly than to force. Her light- hearted nature and merry wit make her a welcome ad- dition to any group. Her sense of humor is based on a well-balanced perception of values and a genuine appreciation of wit. Never a herald of her own achieve- ments, always modest and unassuming, Helen has won a special niche in our hall of memory. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Welfare Club; Commercial Club; Geography Club. VIRGINIA SHIRLEY STONE Strains Of gay music And bright song. Virginia combines in her small person the admirable qualities of intelligence, charm, and willingness to help. She is equally valuable as a piano accompanist, a delightful companion, or as the life-saver who will write that original poem which you must have in ten minutes. Merely hint your desire to Virginia and presto — it is done. Her warm friendliness and natural charm have endeared her to us all. Although the quotation is overworked, we say that Virginia is proof that good things come in small packages. In fact, it is so fitting that we will say it anyway.

Dot is our class Peter Pan. While she has all the whimsy and light, rapid wit of a character out of Barrie, at the same time she has the strangely antithetical ability for getting things done — big things, we mean, like the duties of the President of the Literary Club, Chairman of the Senior Revue Committee, and the Photograph Editor of the Lampas. Her many talents, — dancing not the least among them, — have constantly amazed us throughout her college career. Our secret ambition is some day, somewhere to discover the source of her boundless energy and initiative.

GERTRUDE CLAIRE TIG.HE Blue haze of night On fallen snow; The still, calm shine of stars. We call you Claire, and this name has become to us synonymous with friend. You are a part of deeds which follow a dignified, measured pattern of helpful- ness, co-operation, and generosity. Our pictur e of you is made up of abstractions difficult to put into words. Disjointed phrases come to mind, — descriptive of a quiet manner, — a cheerful voice, — smiling blue eyes. Is that charming quality you possess the true poetry of life? Whatever it is, you have given some of it to us, and we value it. But let us forget these superlatives and remember just that you are delightfully human, even though you have all these remarkably fine characteristics.

A pleasant personality and a uniformly cheerful manner make Ruth a valued friend and a most desirable compan- ion. Her ability in the musical field is well known to all her classmates, but not many know that she was the recipient of a scholarship to Lasell Junior College dur- ing the summer of 1935. The Teachers College also has given recognition to her talents, as is shown by her membership in the String Ensemble. Ruth ' s playing of the ' cello has given us pleasure on many occasions, and her warmth and friendliness have contributed much to our college years.

Gertrude is our choice as the ideal companion for all lonely, flustered, irritable, T. C. students on street cars on Monday mornings. Indeed, Gertrude ' s merry laugh has become so integral a part of life at college that it will go down in the annals of our history along with Hayes and Moon, the bulletin-boar d, and all the other unforgettables. Besides her sunny good-nature, however, other factors have contributed to make Ger- trude the outstandingly popular girl she is. Her devoted loyalty, ready generosity, and willing co-operation have proved to us all that she is one girl who knows the meaning of the word friendship.

Dorothy ' s unobtrusiveness and air of unconcern are belied by the active part she takes in all the class and college doings. Her activity is accompanied by such nonchalance that the work is completed before we realize that it is even begun. We are all familiar with Dorothy ' s delightful art work, which has periodically exhibited not only her talent, but also her class spirit in contributing posters for our varied events. We are sure that Dorothy will travel life ' s pathway with the same effortless ease which has characterized her prog- ress through college.

MARION DOROTHY WEINSTEIN Starched gingham dress And big plaid bow,- The music of good-natured laughter. Reminiscing, we can ' t recall ever having seen Marion when she was not smiling. If there was the least atom of humor in any situation, Marion was the one to find it, embellish it, and exhibit it for our enjoyment. She is an incurable mimic, (do you recall her impersonation of Baby Snooks?), and in the mirror of her wit we all saw ourselves as we were — slightly ridiculous. Her gift to our class was invaluable: she taught us to laugh at ourselves. Can we ever thank her enough?

To Millie ' s friends the truth of this statement is evident. Mildred ' s humor takes the form of a quiet, dry subtlety, far removed from the repellent loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind. Because she is not pretentious, Mildred ' s talents often escape detection. You must have noticed and admired, however, her neatly designed posters which have appeared in the halls of the college to remind you of coming social events. We have always been able to depend upon Mildred ' s ability and gen- erosity in any class undertaking.

Helen ' s claim to fame rests first and foremost upon her courage in being the only member of our class who, after our strenuous Sophomore course, dared accept the challenge of Biology by choosing it as her major field of concentration. To her, however, Science sig- nifies not the ominous bugaboo it seems to the less dauntless of us, but a glorious challenge full of adven- ture and excitement. Her zeal in pursuit of her subject is consistent with her deep enthusiasm for the things and people she likes. Helen ' s ambition, native ability, and the open-hearted candor so characteristic of her, seem to us to constitute an infallible recipe for the best work. Every success to you, Helen!

Much to our regret she has, until recently, concealed under a quiet and studious exterior her enviable ability as a coming Bernhardt. Her scholastic aptitude has won her recognition in the college,- her popularity among her classmates may be seen by her election as Councillor during her Junior year. Scholarship and dramatic talent, combined with the sincerity with which Frieda undertakes all things which come her way, are certain to win her success either in the teaching profession or on the professional stage, whichever field may be her final choice.

This was to be our first year as apprentices aboard the educational training ship. The efficient captain, Dr. William H. J. Kennedy, had made all things ready for us and gave us a hearty welcome. Then the Superintendent of Apprentices, Dean William F. Linehan, ourlined the nautical achievements expected of us during our first year before the mast. The cargo was all stowed, hatches sealed down, and moorings cast off. No time could be wasted, for our sailing date had already been delayed fully one month because our ship had been held in quarantine on account of an epidemic of infantile paralysis. Our first ordeal was our presentation to the faculty officers who would keep peace aboard ship and reckon all things for us on this, our voyage to the realm of higher learning. We plunged into our studies and dared to try to master all. Officer Clark ' s unbounded knowledge of naval history from the beginning of the world to the present time, amazed us. Officer Midgley undertook to perfect our nautical diction, and we were obliged to learn all the rules for marine health habits as laid down by Hough and Sedgewick. ' We were assigned comfortable quarters in the fo ' c ' sle, and all was calm weather and smooth sailing until Freshman Week, when our once gracious Junior mates became cruel task-masters. We were forced to climb ropes, jump the boom, and reef the mains ' l. For a few weeks we plowed through rough waters, but finally the sun came out and the sea once more became calm. One day we were summoned to the half-deck to elect our apprentice officers. Ruth Kelly was chosen Skipper,- Ann McCarthy, First Mate,- Ruth Miley, Keeper of the Log,- and Eileen Norton, Purser. Being mere apprentices and brassbounders (so to speak), we had to wait a while before permission was granted us to prepare a revenge celebration in honor of our Junior mates, who were then forced to take their turn swabbing the decks and polishing the binnacles. The Lampas Fair was an enterprise which those two famous land-lubbers, Barnum and Bailey, would have been proud of. Although only lowly Freshmen, we were not forgotten in the excitement of the departure of the Senior apprentices as full-fledged mariners, for to us was entrusted the making of the daisy chain and the decoration of the quarter-deck for their farewell dance. Our enthusiasm while planning this dance was equalled only by the excitement occasioned by our Freshman- Sophomore Horn-Pipe. We all obtained shore leave for this event, which was held at the Wellesley Country Club. As we completed our last watch aboard, and our schooner saiied into port, we realized with regret that the first lap of our journey as apprentices was over. We looked forward to our two-months shore leave, and with a Heave-Ho M Lads, we watched our training ship, Teeseetucket, disappear in the offing. All too soon, our shore leave was over, and on a bright morning in September, 1936, we gathered at Huntington Wharf,— a group of gallant young midshipmen,— to start our second year before the mast. We boarded our good ship, Teeseetucket, proud of our more exalted position as Sophomores. Immediately our officers for the second lap of our journey were chosen, and the Freshman leaders retired on fur- {91} lough. We elected Eleanor Geishecker, Sophomore Skipper,- Margaret Mullen, First Mate,- Ruth Krock, Keeper of the Log,- and Kathleen McNulty, Purser. This was truly our Iter Biologiae. Many an hour we spent acquainting ourselves with the crustaceans and other inhabitants of the sea as presented in Hegner. During the cold winter months we kept our spirits high by singing the fine old sea chanteys in Manly ' s famous anthology. In spite of hard work, our social obligations were by no means neglected. At heart every sailor is a child and has a child ' s love for Christmas, and so we enjoyed playing our parts as reindeer, toys, and dolls, for the benefit of the officers ' children, who joyfully clambered aboard as guest passengers. In early spring the apprentice-quarters were agog with excitement, as we planned our April Showers Dance, which was held on the ever-famous quarter-deck. Soon after, this same quarter-deck was the scene of the Marine Music Club ' s success- ful production of The Gondoliers. Many weeks of toil and joy followed. Some days our ship made little head- way; other days she plunged ahead gallantly, plowing through the waves and leav- ing a path of foam in our wake. The most enjoyable event of this second year of our training came in June, when we Sophomore apprentices left our student quarters on Neptune ' s foaming billows and made for the Freshman-Sophomore social at the Belmont Springs Country Club. And so our second year came to an end, and we steered our schooner shore- ward with the proud feeling that we were no longer minor apprentices but hearty midshipmen ready to face the perils of the deep, but ready, too, for our annual shore- leave. September 10th, 1937, found us once again on Huntington Wharf. It was nigh on two bells before the officers of the schooner, Teeseetucket, had completed the last-minute preparations for departure. At last all was ready, and with sails unfurled, we skimmed over the white-caps well on the way for our third year before the mast. The Sophomore officers were now relieved of their duties by the new Junior officers: Skipper, Katherine Godfrey,- First Mate, Eleanor Dwyer,- Keeper of the Log, Helen Wustene ,- Purser, Marie Leen. The Freshmen looked up to us with respect and admiration, and let us say that we were justly proud of their dignified nautical behavior not only at the Faculty Tea on the quarter-deck, but also during Freshman Week when they obediently trimmed the jib and prepared everything for the southern latitudes towards which we now headed. Before we realized it, Naval Egucation Week was upon us, and we helped organize the Self-Government Tea for our parents, who were our guests on this occasion. Once more at Christmas we provided true seamen entertainment for the children of our faculty, who again came eagerly aboard as guests. In order to secure sufficient funds for our Lampas Log-Book we organized a supper which netted a neat sum. However, these social affairs were only the fore- runners of our grand and glorious Junior Week, when we docked in Boston, and all Junior middies obtained shore leave. The outstanding events of our celebration were a seaman ' s banquet at The Viking, a naval theater party at the Boston Gar- den, and a Sailor ' s Hornpipe at the Hotel Sheraton. Tired but happy we returned to the good old Teeseetucket, where we busied ourselves with rigging, reeving, and spiicing. We must record two more memorable events which took place on the quarter- deck: the production of Maxwell Anderson ' s Mary of Scotland by the All-Sailors ' {92} Dramatic Club, and the artistic stage presentation entitled The Junior Sojree. We attended ihe Senior Commencement with the dignity befiting such an occasion, and we ponde ' ed with awe on the glory or our railing, and the noble heritage whi :h was ours. Befoie we realized it our third year before the mast was at an end, and we hurried ashore eager for the freedom of our last shore leave. Excited and proud, on September 8, 1938, our jolly group once more swarmed aboard the beloved training ship, Teeseetucket, for the last lap of our journey on the Sea of Erudition. The sun shone brightly as we cast off that morning. Each Senior endeavored to prove a worthy candidate for the degree B.S. in E. (Better Seamen in Everyway) for which she was striving. For the first time our class was divided, when Junior High and Elementary apprentices were sent aboard the S. S. Practice Teaching for a half-year of practical maritime experience. While they were busy instructing young would-be-sailors in the elements of seamanship, the Senior High midshipmen remained on the Teeseetucket struggling with the more difficult starboard and port principles as laid down by Snedden, and the mysteries of the wind belts as presented in Officer Packard ' s weighty and learned tome. The apprentices on the S. S. Practice Teaching returned aboard the training ship for such observances as Cap and Gown Day, the Record Hop, and the Senior Revue, all of which events took place on our own good old quarter-deck. In February, having completed a strenuous half-year of toil, the Secondary midshipmen took their turn at the difficult task of guiding the education of young seamen on the S. S. Practice Teaching, and all the other apprentices returned to the Teeseetucket, for the rest of their nautical apprenticeship. Exciting events were soon under way, beginning with the traditional Senior Promenade at the Hotel Commander in Cambridge. Day after day during the re- mainder of the year we sailed steadily along, the wind filling the sails, and every day bringing us nearer to port. Hard work mingled with gay social events, such as the Lampas Tea and the Colonial Club Supper. With the sunny skies and warm breezes of June, came Commencement Week, the grand finale of our life as apprentices! On the gaily decorated quarter-deck, we gathered one evening for the traditional faculty reception, where our faculty officers made strong the bonds of affection which already existed between us. Soon after, with Class Skipper Kelly in charge, we listened attentively to the Super- intendent of Apprentices, Dean Linehan, as he gave us his final message. On Class Day we, too, left a memorial to our training ship, and with appropriate ceremonies we nailed the class ivy to the mast as the symbol of our coming departure. As we trimmed the sails and prepared for our final debarkation, we realized the significance of the time. However, fun reigned at our nautical outing, where we showed our land-lubber comrades a bit of true nautical jollification. Next came our seamen ' s banquet at the Hotel Sheraton, where good cheer and good food prevailed, and we pored over the pages of our Log Book. The following day, our last day before the mast, was drawing to a close, as Captain Kennedy presented us our cherished degrees. Our hour of graduation had come! We were ready to embark on the vast sea of life. Which ships shall we board? Whither shall we guide them? What lies be- yond the horizon? No one knows! Marie B. Leen 03} CLASS POEM THE TEACHER God places in her loving charge A treasure, fragile, fair — A child ' s white soul to shelter in Her wise and tender care. God gives into her willing hands A child to lead and guide Through life ' s steep ways and stony paths, Its deserts dark and wide. God sheds upon her eager mind A clear and shining light, That she may wisely teach the child To know and do the right. God fills her heart with ardent love For this most holy gift, — The child that He confides to her To cherish and uplift. A child ' s white soul to her He gives, To keep all pure and fair — To guide, protect, and gently mold, To guard with love and prayer. M. E ileen Bowers {94} IVY ORATION The planting of this spray of ivy signifies to us, the Class of 1939, that our four happy college years are over. It truly means the parting of the ways, for although some of us will return here next September to work for the Master ' s degree, others will begin at once their professional careers. As we go forth from college into the wider world with its many problems, we must not allow ourselves to become discouraged, whatever the future may bring. Every generation has its problems, and we shall have ours. Our success will depend largely upon the courage and determination which we bring to the difficulties and trials with which life will test our mettle. We must endeavor always to look forward with a hopeful and optimistic view. The ability to smile in the face of apparent defeat is a rare virtue. Even though today may have its disappointments, there is always a brighter tomorrow which may see the fulfillment of our dearest hopes. No one can foretell what lies ahead, but we shall find that in all circumstances, courage and hope are invincible armor against defeat. Here in our college we have gained much that will help us in our careers. We have been carefully and wisely trained. We have received valuable knowledge,- high professional ideals have been presented to us, worthy ambitions have been aroused, and definite aims have been formulated. Now we must prove what we can do with this preparation and equipment. Our acquired knowledge must not be used selfishly. As teachers it will be our duty to share it with our pupils. Like Chaucer ' s clerk of Oxenford, we have gladly learned, ' ' and now we must gladly teach. Because we are about to be graduated, let us not think our education is completed. It is true that our formal training has been finished, but we must remember that as the world today is constantly changing, so also is education. Always there are new things to be learned. We must keep abreast of these changes and never allow our minds to stagnate. We must maintain a keen interest in education and in new trends. Then, too, we should cultivate a broad understanding of current events. More than at any other time in our history, our country today needs the intelligent support and effort of every citizen. We should be abie to discuss, without racial or religious prejudice, vital public problems, and we should train ourselves to see all sides of debatable questions. Moreover, our teaching should be guided not only by the head but by the heart. We must keep our eyes open to the needs of our pupils, missing no oppor- tunity to speak a word of kindness or extend a helping hand. Teachers can give nobler service than mere routine instruction. Let it be our highest endeavor that we never lose the lofty ideals with which we are beginning our professional work. The high sense of responsibility, truth, and honor that has been fostered here is priceless. Cherishing these standards, we can never envision defeat. . In time to come this, our Class Day, will stand out in our memories. We can never forget what the Teachers College has meant to us. It has given us something precious and fine. Our college years have been years of happiness and of mental and spiritual development. The friendships made here we hope will be life-long. I am expressing the thought of all my classmates when I say that we bid farewell to Teachers College with hearts full of love and gratitude. Ruth L. Kelly OS} CLASS ESSAY A Goodly Heritage In times of storm and stress, such as we have lived through in recent years, when, in lands across the sea, cataclysmic events occur so rapidly that the mind is unable to comprehend what is really happening, — when thrones have fallen and ancient nations have been annihilated, when all individual liberty has been destroyed and man ' s liberty wrested from him — only in such times do we truly realize the wonder of the land in which we live, and truly value all that it gives us. Often we hear criticisms of the political and social structure of our government. Undoubtedly, imperfections exist, but how insignificant and petty they seem when compared with the greatness of the basic ideal of our government — the freedom of the individual. Ours is truly a promised land — a land of hope, — a land of security. Here, notwithstanding the economic upheaval of the past decade, we can still look forward; we can still dream of a greater tomorrow, and above all, we have liberty to express our dreams and our ideals. To express our dreams and our ideals! Has not the revocation of the right of free speech, — a right guaranteed to us in the Constitu ion, — been perhaps the greatest crime of the totalitarian states? There the individual means nothing! He is submerged; his initiative is crushed. Many of us do not truly appreci ate what we believe to be our inherent rights of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, because we have never been deprived of them; and yet, if these rights were threat- ened, should we not rise in indignant protest? For as Washington said, Interwoven is the love of liberty with every ligament of our hearts. ' ' Perhaps the greatest of all our rights is our freedom to worship as we please. Here no authority says, You ' must ' pray in a manner prescribed by the government. Instead, each man worships at the shrine to which his heart leads him. How different from the scene across the sea! There intolerance and blind ignorance scoff at those who look to a Divine Being for help. There dictators have set themselves on a pedes- tal; they are the idols to whom their subjects must bow; they are the objects of wor- ship to whom adorers offer sacrifice, — sacrifice of human suffering, broken lives, destroyed ideals. How can we be sufficiently grateful for America! We should glory in the spirit of freedom which we breathe in the very air. These are rights, inherent rights which every person desires. But the American also has countless privileges freely given to him. Educational opportunities are offered to all. Our schools, ranging from the kindergarten to the university, are the pride of our nation. In Americanization classes the alien is instructed in our language and customs. The night schools offer not only cultural subjects, but also vocational siudies and training in handcrafts. Here the adult learns to use his leisure profitably and enjoyably. Moreover, countless opportunities are offered, not for a definite, calculated purpose of economic betterment, but rather for the general aim of making us a better, happier people. In our public libraries we have at our command the choicest treasures of the literary world; concerts, lectures, and museums open for us the realms of art. Many Americans are unaware of these varied and valuable oppor- tunities for education and advancement We live in a land where there is unlimited opportunity for all. Our greatest aristocracy is that of the intellect — we can all be aristocrats if we have but the will to improve ourselves and develop our talents. A young foreign student in one of our colleges when asked what impressed him most in America, answered, The keen, intelligent expression of the faces; in Europe the people all look dull and hopeless. Pity the land whose law destroys The reach of thought, the quest of truth In the heart of its radiant Youth. We should awaken to an appreciation of our limitless privileges and cultivate them to the fullest extent, for the strength of a democracy rests on the intelligence of its citizens. Not only do we have opportunities for formal education, but also the liberal education offered to us by the radio. Here is another means of making our lives fuller and more interesting. The radio brings to us an endless variety of programs. The world ' s greatest music, the masterpieces of the drama, talks and lectures on subjects of general interest, and keen, intelligent interpretation of the political situation all contribute to our culture and information. Probably we know more of what is hap- pening in the various European capitals than do the Europeans themselves. Moreover, the American standard of living is the highest in the world. Our homes are better built, better furnished, and more efficiently equipped than those of other countries. America leads the world in the number of telephones and automo- biles. We take these material things for granted and consider them necessities rather than luxuries. But high American standards do not apply merely to material things. Surely all these great privileges carry their own noblesse oblige. We should strive to maintain high ideals; we must constantly try to make ourselves better in every way. We must refuse to accept the inferior — but demand the best and never be satisfied with the cheap and vulgar. Not only in the rights of individuals, the countless opportunities and privileges, the high standards of living is America well called the beautiful. Here lives at spirit of |oy, a spirit of hope that pervades all classes, all ranks. In spite of our present economic difficulties, Americans can still laugh and be happy. They can always see the silver lining, even of the darkest cloud. Travellers coming to American shores or meeting Americans abroad are invariably impressed with the unfrightened expression on their faces. Recently two Boston teachers, traveling in a French train, were seated in a compartment near an Englishman and a Frenchman. The English- man, thinking the teachers to be his compatriots, asked them what part of England they lived in. Instantly the Frenchman said, Oh, the ladies are not English they are Americans! On being asked how he knew, he replied, Because they look happy! No one in Europe is happy today! The European, in constant fear of oppression, cannot have the carefree spirit of the American. His spirit has been crushed — his outlook made practically hopeless. Where else but here can people look back on a rich heritage, and look forward with hope to maintaining that heritage and passing it on enriched and ennobled? Then, too, America is unequalled in the bounties given by Nature. Our borders enclose varied climates,— the mellowness of the sunny beaches of Florida, the invigorating briskness of New England, the calm quiet of the plains. Our broad and fertile fields produce enough to make us self-sufficient, if the need should arise. Our natural riches would give us our food from the fields and orchards, our homes from the great timber-lands, our clothing from material produced in various parts of the country. America the beautiful! We have wonders which rival the most awe-inspiring scenes in the old world, — the Rockies towering to the sky, the sea pounding on the rugged shores of New England, the torrent coming down the Niagara River and suddenly dropping hundreds of feet, a forest turned to stone, the great Redwoods which have watched over our land for centuries and tens of centuries. Ours is truly a beautiful land, a promised land, a land of wonder, a land of freedom and hope. It offers golden opportunities to all. It sets no limit to man ' s achievement. Where is so much given freely, so little asked in return? Where else but here? And, so let us thank God for America, and pray. America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. Harriet Goldberg {91} CLASS SONG THE TORCH O Alma Mater, thy bright torch, Aflame with wisdom ' s truth, Will lead us like a guiding star In service unto youth; That youth, whose visions dimly glimpsed Are veiled in fear end dread, May plainly see in this clear light The path which lies ahead. O Alma Mater, wise and strong, Lift high thy beacon bright, Aglow with learning ' s sacred fire, To guide youth ' s course aright That all who wander, tempest-tossed, May see its friendly beam, And follow toward the bright ' ning dawn Its steady radiant gleam. O Alma Mater, may the flame More bright and clear arise — And leaping upward, as our song Among the echoes dies, Inspire us with a high resolve To keep true faith with thee. Oh lift thine ever-glowing torch For all the world to see! Doris Marion Pratt Music by Rose llgovsky 08} COURTYARD SONG Come, let us sing! Daisies we bring, Singing together our glad blithesome lay. Sweet daisies bright Bring us delight, Bloom ever fair on our way! Chorus Singing now we wend our way, Golden mem ' ries behind us. As we say farewell today, Of snowy daisies we sing — So fair, sweet, and white, So lovely and bright; Whenever we look back to thee, New hope thy mem ' ry will bring. Daisies all fair Proudly we bear, Bidding farewell unto many glad hours,- Days of delight Fade from our sight, Sweet as the perfume of flowers. Chorus Sing once again, Lift the refrain, Hours of joy we are leaving behind. Hours of cheer, Happy days here, Always will come back to mind.

NASH, MISS MANSFIELD Faculty Advisers Not what we give but what we share For the gift without the giver is bare. The Welfare Club, which includes in its membership both the faculty and the student-body, exists for the purpose of extending a helping hand to those in need, especially to little children. Various phases of welfare work are carried on under the direction of the club officers, the faculty advisers, the group leaders, and the section aides, with the co-operation of the entire college. Early each year there is a Milk-Fund Drive, which enables the club to supply milk daily to a number of undernourished children in the Boston schools. At Thanks- giving bountiful baskets are sent to needy families, who otherwise would have little holiday cheer, and at Christmas the club provides toys to bring joy to children in hospitals and orphan asylums. Also, clothing is collected and distributed. During the year many students find pleasure and satisfaction in directing Settlement House activities. Contributions are made also to such worthy causes as the Junior Red Cross, the Community Fund, the Prendergast Preventorium Camp. Whatever the need, the Welfare Club tries to be of service, bearing in mind that the greatest of these is Charity. {115} PHYLLIS MADDEN President MARGUERITE BARRY Vice-President RITA McCAULEY JANE ST. MARTIN DR. KERRIGAN Treasurer Secretary Faculty Adviser AQUARIUM CLUB The pleasantest angling is to see the fish Cut with her golden oars the silver stream. If you are interested in all the fascinating mysteries of the deep and in the construction of beautiful terraria and aquaria, you must join the Aquarium Club. Mem- bers are drawn from among those who have the desire to create and the ability to enjoy the projects and pursuits of the club. The activities of the group include the preparation of exhibitions for the public, and of aquaria for the schools. The pro- ceeds of sales conducted by the Club go toward the support of the Lillian J. MacRae Memorial Library, established to perpetuate the memory of one who loved science. Usually science students are the active members in the Club, which joins with the Biology Society and the Science Club for special meetings. Membership, however, is open to all students who are interested in the work of the Club. {116} MILDRED WHEELER ANN CUTLER President Vice-President AGATHINA Di BELLA Treasurer ANNABELLE O ' CONNOR Secretary MR. SHEA Faculty Adviser ART CLUB ' Art is a human activity having for its purpose the transmission to others of the highest and best feelings to which men have risen. The Art Club has for its aim the expansion of artistic effort beyond the scope required by the syllabus. Students not in the art courses may participate with the regular art students in the club activities. Thus a large number can benefit from the club programme. The extension of the course this year included soap modeling and pencil, oil, and pastel technique. As part of the Co-operative Arts Group, the Art Club aids the Drama and Music Clubs in their presentations by planning and producing scenery, costumes, and lighting. At Christmas time, the club conducts a sale of hand-blocked cards done by the members themselves. As the climax of the Christmas Assembly the Club depicts a Nativity scene in a never-to-be-forgotten tableau. Thus, in many interesting ways, the Art Club fosters and encouraaes the in- dividual talents and interests of its members. {117} KATHLEEN McNULTY President MILDRED DiDIO First Vice-President AGNES EARLY Second Vice-President PHYLLIS MURPHY Secretary ELIZABETH JOHNSTON Treasurer MISS DONOVAN, MISS QUINLAN Faculty Advisers ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION To love the game beyond the prize The Athletic Association has always been one of the most popular clubs in the college. The members spend many happy hours while they are developing ideals of fair play and good sportsmanship and learning the value of true comradeship. Basketball was the leading sport this year, with captainball a close second. In whatever sports the members participated, a friendly, good-natured spirit pre- vailed even among the losers in the all-important intra-mural competition. Other sports in which the Athletic Association is interested are baseball, bowling, bicycling, skating, and hiking. The season closed this year, as it customarily does, with an annual party at which the entertainment was provided by the members. This affair, like all Athletic Association meetings, was a great success. Ol8 MARIE FORTUNATI HELEN KELLEY President Vice-President DORIS McCAUSLAND Treasurer LORETTA SULLIVAN Secretary MISS AMMIDOWN Faculty Adviser BIOLOGY SOCIETY He that can draw a charm From rocks, or weeds, or things that seem All mute, and does it — is wise. The Biology Society boasts of its varied and interesting program with justifi- able pride. Besides the splendid talks by visiting lecturers on subjects of current interest to all science-enthusiasts, the Society offers an opportunity for the students to meet those Alumni who are already teaching Biology in the Boston schools. Probably the most outstanding and colorful activity of the Biology Society during the year is the annual Christmas sale, featuring subtle sachets, lovely Christ- mas baskets, luscious jellies and sandwiches, flower displays, bowls of narcissi, and dish gardens, — all prepared by the girls themselves. This sale is a particularly im- portant event, not only because it demonstrates to the student body the ingenuity and enthusiasm of the society, but because the proceeds, for the most part, are used to benefit the college as a whole. {119} MARY HEALY President MARGARET O ' HARE First Vice-Presidet CLAIRE O ' BRIEN Second Vice-President CONSTANCE PULVIRENTI Treasurer VIRGINIA O ' BRIEN MISS GIVEN Secretary Faculty Adviser CLASSICAL CLUB H aec ohm meminisse luva bit. The keynote of the Classical Club activities is expressed in its slogan, Meet the Romans. Each program made these ancient Romans seem not only real but very modern, too. The Roman roads and villas in England as described by Miss Heartz, the modern applications of Roman myths, the Roman celebration of the Saturnalia, the Romans in literature, — their love stories, their familiar correspondence, and their apt descriptions of social climbers, collectors of antiques, bargain hunters, and other types well-known today, — these pictures of the modern ancients proved most enjoyable. Although the hurricane prevented the annual fall get-to-gether, the banquet in May made up for this disappointment, and formed a fitting climax to a year which was delightful because of the opportunity it gave us to meet the Romans. {120} ANNA CONNOLLY President WINIFRED GALLANT Vice-President CELIA CARRIS Treasurer RUTH MILEY Secretary DR. REGAN, MR. BITZER Faculty Advisers COMMERCIAL CLUB In books, or work, or healthful play Let my first years be passed, That I may give for every day Some good ' account ' at last. ' ' The Commercial Club, composed of undergraduate and graduate students of the Commercial Education major group, helps to promote friendship among its mem- bers and also to enrich their vocational background and professional preparation. As our main topic for discussion this year, we followed with a great deal of interest oral and written reports of the vocational activities of several of our department alumnae. We also heard talks by visiting lecturers and reports by club members on their own research work. Two particularly popular features of our club work this year were the annual Group Skill Contest and our mimeographed News Sheet. The social activities at each meeting gave us suggestions which will be useful later when we are conducting our own commercial clubs in the high schools. 4121} ANNA McGINLEY President CAROLYN HEDSTROM First Vice-President VIRGINIA NOONAN Second Vice-President ESTHER NOLLMAN RUTH WHITE Secretary Treasurer MISS CLARK, MISS GAFFEY Faculty Advisers DRAMA CLUB Suit the action to the word, the word to the action; — hold, as ' twere, the mirror up to nature. This year the Drama Club developed an experimental theater workshop to provide training in the technique of play production for future use in the schools. Individual and group work on play selection, coaching, costuming, setting, lighting, make-up, and actual presentation constituted the phases of work studied. The Club, in addition to the performances for the entertainment of its members, the Harvest Festival and the Valentine Fantasy, — also produced the Nativity play at the Christ- mas Assembly. At other meetings, professional experts in the various aspects of play production supplemented our work with interesting lectures. The workshop sponsored another new idea this year, — our magazine, The Spotlight, in which we connected our activities with the outside theater by having interviews with stage celebrities and reviews of current plays. Whether one desires actual training and experience in dramatic work, or merely enjoyment of the drama, the Drama Club offers a real opportunity for experi- ence. 122 DOROTHY THAIN President MARGARET POWELL Vice-President RUTH FARREN ANNA DOWD MISS BRENNAN Treasurer Secretary Faculty Adviser LITERARY CLUB Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know, Are a substantial world, both pure and good. In October 1938, the English Club formally adopted its new name, — The Literary Club. All those students and alumnae seeking to increase their knowledge and enjoyment of literature, both new and old, found pleasure in the varied, stimu- lating program and friendly, informal meetings of the Literary Club. This year we had an opportunity to see and hear about a collection of rare books,- to witness again at Christmas time The Second Shepherd ' s Play ; to be enlightened on the subject of the Newbury Medal Awards,- and to listen to and participate in discus- sions of challenging new books. A new feature was a contest which sought to in- spire budding authors. The best contributions were read at the farewell banquet in May, when the club wrote Finis to a very successful and enjoyable year. 023 EDITH DeANGELIS Presiden t DORIS GOLDBERG Vice-President AGNES DONOVAN EVA PASQUALE MISS DRISCOLL Secretary Treasurer Faculty Ad vi:e GEOGRAPHY CLUB Open roads to adventure The Geography Club is made up of those students who are interested in geography, not only as a subject and a science, but also in its more colorful aspects — in traveling and in a study of the habits and customs of the different peoples of the world. The Club aims to promote a greater spirit of friendship among its members, to give a clearer understanding of foreign and domestic conditions, and to keep in touch with both the old and the new knowledge of geography. The social life of the Club includes frequent teas and parties. Travel talks, given by the members or by some well-known lecturer in the geographic field, and also our interesting exhibits, further our more serious aims.. {124} MARY CONNOLLY President CHARLOTTE FELLMAN Vice-President MARY FRANCES RYAN Treasurer GENEVIEVE HARDING Secretary DR. HUBBARD Faculty Adviser HISTORY CLUB History triumphs over time. The History Club has been to us a living force, emphasizing the real values and vital significance to be found in the study of the past. Plays, games, and book reviews gave an insight into the fascinating characters of history. Lectures, such as the one given in our Freshman year on the Ethiopian situation, enabled us more truly to understand the present in the light of the past. The narrow, winding streets of Boston have no secrets for us. Indeed, our journey through them has proved so delight- ful that two years have not been sufficient to complete it. Our Senior year saw an epochal event — publication of Ye Boston Courier, an historical journal. Through its medium, reports on the trends of our time and the results of the research of our members have become available to all. Memory of our activities will remain as reminder of the knowledge gained and the friendships strengthened by the years in the History Club. {125 LILLIAN KREDENTSER MARIE LEEN RUTH OPPENHEIM ISABEL SWEENEY MISS GARTLAND President Vice-President Secretaire Tresoriere Conseillere LE CERCLE FRANCAIS S ' instruire en s ' amusant S ' instruire en s ' amusant, voici le but du Cercle Francais.

VOSBURGH Faculty Adviser MATHEMATICS SOCIETY For he, by geometric scale, Could take the size of pots of ale,- Resolve by sines and tangents straight If bread or butter wanted weight; And wisely tell what hour o ' th ' day The clock does strike, by algebra. The Mathematics Society is interested in the science of mathematics, not only for its intrinsic value, but also because of its vital bearing upon the lives of everyone. The vast power and extensive ramifications of mathematics reach nearly every field of endeavor, — electricity, engineering, astronomy, geology, and countless others. This year, the members, consisting of under-graduates and graduate students of the college, invited speakers to address the meetings and demonstrate the practical necessity for mathematics in all phases of life. We hope to have proved to any doubters amongst us that there is more to mathematics than cut and dried angles and terrifying columns of figures, and that it is actually a vivid, living, interesting subject. At some of our meetings the individual members preside and describe pro- jects being conducted in the schools to further interest in mathematics, or demonstrate tricks that involve the principles which we have studied. The year closes in May with a delightful banquet which is attended by all the members of the society. {127} MARY O ' CONNELL RUTH HEERDE MARY KELLY President Vice-President Treasurer DOROTHY MULCAHY Secretary MISS BRICK Faculty Adviser MUSIC CLUB Is there a heart that music cannot melt? Alas! how is that rugged heart forlorn! The Music Club, consisting of about seventy-five members who meet on the alternate Wednesdays of each month under the direction of Miss Brick, has as its aim an increased appreciation of good music. The meetings this year consisted mainly of rehearsals for the various programs presented in the College. A large part of the time was spent in practicing for the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Patience, which was presented before an enthu- siastic audience of students and their friends. The group served the College by supplying choruses during Education Week and on Self-Government Day. At the Christmas Assembly the carolers in their pic- turesque white surplices added the final note of hushed awe to that most inspiring of all our College presentations. As a climax to the year ' s activities, the members of the club furnished the music to supplement the activities of Commencement. {128} HELEN WUSTENEY President GERTRUDE WEINBERGER Vice-President MARGARET COX ANNA DOWD MR. QUINN Treasurer Secretary Faculty Adviser SCIENCE CLUB Men live to wonder, and that is the seed of science. At the Science Club meetings, science is shorn of all the formalities of class- room procedure and revealed as a fascinating, vital phase of modern progress and invention. This year our members investigated some of the achievements of science by making tours of the United Drug Company and Harvard Medical School Labora- tories and by actually observing the chemical apparatus and scientific procedure. The number of formal meetings featuring guest speakers was limited to the monthly gatherings held in conjunction with the Aquarium Club and the Biology Society. This year saw the beginning of active work in photography, with all its delightful intricacies. Any question which you may have on the subject can be adequately answered by any Science Club member. Thus, through their varied program, the members of the Club gained a con- ception of the far-reaching importance of science, and also acquired valuable in- terests and hobbies. i 129 J- MARIA F.

BARR Consejera EL CIRCULO CASTELLANO Con un fin puramente social las reuniones del Circulo castellano han sido muy divertidas este anc. En octubre, ofmos algunas palabras de bienvenida de nuestra directora, que nos explico las objetivas del club. Se sirvio una refaccion de pasas, higos y datiles de Espana. Lo mas interesante de la reunion de noviembre fue el arroz mejicano, cocinado por una experta. Oimos algo de otros platos mejicanos y espanoles. Despues, tratamos de acertar unas adivinanzas de Fernan Caballero. En nuestra tertulia de Navidad mezclamos lo americano y lo latino. El Naci- miento ocupaba el sitio de honor. Tuvimos arbol de navidad con un regalo para cada socia. Una de ellas leyo Los Reyes Magos de Benavente, y por remote de fiesta comimos turrones y galletas espanolas. De vez en cuando el club asiste a alguna funcion espanola en Boston, tal como la de la orquesta Tfpica Mexicana de Mercado, o la de la bailarina Ar- gentinita, o se divierte con juegos, comedietas y chistes. Gozamos mucho mientras aprendemos a conversar en una lengua bella y armoniosa. { 130} RUTH GORDON ROSE ILGOVSKY PAULINE GLEN RUTH VINCENT VIRGINIA STONE MR. DRAKE Violins Bass Cello Piano Faculty Adviser STRING ENSEMBLE And give to rapture all thy trembling strings. Membership to the String Ensemble is open to students who are lovers of orchestral music and who desire the opportunity of playing in an ensemble. The pur- poses of the organization are to furnish a proving ground for gifted students; to offer an insight into the mechanics of a successful performance; to develop appreciation of good musical literature; and to give the members the power and skill that come through public performances. Under the supervision of Mr. Drake, the Ensemble has had a successful year and has recieved many compliments for its fine playing on Parents ' Day, at the college assemblies, for the play, Mary of Scotland, and for other social activities. The ensemble furnished also the orchestral accompaniment for the college presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s popular operetta, Patience. {131 } THE S. S.
