They have been filled with study and dreams, with discussion and laughter, with the joyous comradeship of compan- ions who share our memories of the past and our hopes for the future. In the pages of our Lampas our college days will live again for us. We shall never lose the glad- ness of our youth, for Remembered joys are never past; At once the fountain, stream, and sea, They were, they are, they yet shall be. ' -sjiT rT ' ?

' Where are the snows of yester-year? ADMINISTRATION TO OUR FACULTY X7 ITH deep gratitude and sincere appreciation, we dedicate this page of the Lampas to our faculty whose unfail- ing loyalty, constant friendliness, earnest devotion, and high ideals of service have awakened in us the true spirit of our pro- fession, — a desire to lead others in the search for truth. •{14}- DR. WILLIAM HENRY JOSEPH KENNEDY Dr. Kennedy, our President, will always represent for us the highest ideals of a teacher. His sympathy and understanding, his kindly and helpful guidance, his scholarly achievement and professional ideals will remain one of the inspiring memories of our college days. {15} DR. WILLIAM FRANCIS LINEHAN For his sincere interest in us and our work, for his wise counsel and friendly cooperation, we are deeply grateful to our Dean, Dr. Linehan. •{16} MISS MARGARET MARY SALLAWAY We shall remember Miss Sallaway, our Adviser, for her dignity and gracious charm, for her unfailing sympathy and encourage- ment, and for the friendly helpfulness she has given us during our college years. {17} ..MI55 AMMIDOWN MISS BARR MRS.

Their inspiration still lives among us, and they will ever remain in our memories as teachers and friends of our college days. Our loss of Dr. Kerrigan has been the gain of the Dorchester High School for Girls, and we are confident that as Head of the Department of Science there she will be respected and admired as she was here. We congratulate the Department of Elementary Supervision on the apointment of Miss Keyes and Miss Wilkinson. Miss Keyes ' s position in the Health Educa- tion Department brought her into contact with every student in the college, and she endeared herself to all. The able and conscientious work of Miss Wilkinson in the Reading Center won the commendation of everyone who knew of these classes. We have missed this year the friendly presence of Miss Stack and Miss Cobin in the Art Department. Miss Stack is now devoting all her time to her supervisory duties, but we hope that in the future she may resume her work in the Teachers College. To Mrs. Saul Dopkeen (Miss Cobin), whose helpful cooperation was unfailing, we wish all happiness in her marriage. Mr. Hennessey has been appointed Supervisor of the Department of Visual Education. We extend to him our congratulations and our best wishes for con- tinued success in this line of work, which he inaugurated in the Teachers College. We have all missed this year the genial spirit of Mr. Quinn, but we are glad that as Head of the Department of Science at the Public Latin School he will still teach the subject he loves. To all of these instructors we say, Ave atque Vale! •( 20 CLASSES TO OUR PARENTS V I70RDS are inadequate to express our tribute to our parents. We offer them love, gratitude, esteem, devotion. We dedicate to them our hopes, our visions, our ideals, for all the happiness and success of our college years are ours because of the love and devotion of our parents. We pray that they, each and every dearly-loved one of them, may enjoy to the last full measure the joy that comes from the realization of a dream. May our future achievements be worthy of their faith and trust! ■{22} SENIOR CLASS MARY SULLIVAN MILDRED KATZ ANNA DOWD .

Evelyn is one of those girls who possess the funda- mental essentials for true and lasting friendship. She is the type of person to whom one turns for help when troubled over coming exams or other difficulties. She is a serious student, anxious to do well in her chosen field and willing to work hard to attain desired success. Her sympathetic understanding, cheerful optimism , and frank common sense will be valuable assets in her career as a teacher. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Classical Club; History Club; Alpha Circle. JOAN DOROTHY ADLER A cheerful mood, A pleasant smile, A winning wit Our hearts beguile. Whom do we all envy because of her beautiful brown, curly hair and laughing eyes? Who greets us each day with a face shining with health and happiness? Joan, of course! We have never seen Joan when she has not been in a cheerful mood, and we are sure we never shall. In addition to her pleasant disposition, Joan has an amazing energy which she applies to any and all of the college activities with equal success. All her classmates agree that she is a worthwhile friend and a pleasant comrade.

In her warm brown eyes one sees the reflection of Millie ' s poise and serenity. These are the qualities which, together with her competence and sense of responsibility, have brought her success in the many offices she has held. Then, too, she has a friendly charm that has made hei a vital part of all our proms and other social activities. She can always be de- pended upon to support with enthusiasm the plans of her co-workers. Best wishes for success to a charm- ing girl who deserves to attain her desired goal!

ELAINE HARRIET BARKIN In thy dark eyes ' splendor, Where the warm light loves to dwell What was that? A lovely head is tilted in a ques- tioning attitude, dark brows contract in a thoughtful frown, and Elaine is in pursuit of some elusive bit of information. Keen observation and careful regard for detail have brought Elaine enviable success, not only as a student but also as Business Manager of our Lampas. Her efficiency might awe us if it were not coupled with unruffled good-nature and warm friendliness. Elaine is one of those fortunate girls who are endowed not only with the qualities necessary for successful scholarship, but also with those that make her a pleasant companion and friend.

Lovable Peg! The possessor of a perfect disposition, Peg has won the hearts of the entire class. Her natural sweetness blended with her womanly charm makes her popu- larity universal. Whether as a teacher, a student, or a classmate Peg ' s pleasing personality is enjoyed by everyone. Her gay laughter and her two pretty dimples lightened many a serious gathering; her wil- lingness to help aided many a social activity. For sunny hours of fun and frolic, for enjoyable hours of work and study. Marguerite has proved herself to be a valuable member of our class.

NAOMI BAZOL Heeding truth alone, and turning From the false and dim If you were to name qualities that would assure suc- cess in life, you would probably mention a high idealism, a determination to win, and a keen sense of humor. Now, for such a combination, you need look no farther than our Naomi. One has only to see her directing the work of youngsters in camp, at a neighborhood center, or in the classroom, to recognize her unusual ability. She has still another quality requisite for success — a capacity for true and lasting friendship.

As an antidote to cynicism we prescribe Dorothy. Her absolute sincerity, her appreciation of the best in everyone, her warm sympathy and cheery wit combine to banish gloom. Dot is the Good Samaritan of our class, ever ready to help anyone in distress. Her sparkling sense of humor is shown by her clever witticisms and amusing couplets. This humor is the leaven of a rich, busy life. A wide range of interests and an unusual versatility result in making Dot simultaneously a clever dressmaker, a sports-lover, a voracious reader, an entertaining poet, a successful student, and an excellent librarian.

AGATHINA LUCY di BELLA Smile awhile; and while you smile Another smiles, and soon There ' s miles and miles oj smiles, And life ' s worth while because you smile. Tina is one of those rare and fortunate individuals endowed with the gift of doing everything well. Whether it is as an efficient editor of the Spotlight, as a serious dramatic actress in Mary of Scotland, or as a demure cherub in the Art Pageant, Tina plays her part with honors. Her more serious qualities of steadfastness, perseverance, and good common sense are balanced by her effervescent humor. The spark- ling vivacity that brightens all her tasks makes her a co-worker as pleasant as she is competent. Tina will undoubtedly find the road to success and travel on it continually throughout life.

The modest unassuming nature which endeared her to us in Fresh- man days has developed into a sedate, serene charm which we all admire. Louise is ever willing to assist in both studies and extra-curricular activities, and her skill as a pianist has aided many a class event or assembly announcement. We all envy Louise her untiring perseverance, which is bound to make her truly successful. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Geography Club; Music Club; Alpha Circle. DOROTHEA THERESE CALLAHAN From you, lanthe, little troubles pass Like little ripples down a sunny river. Dorothea ' s dimpling smile and hearty laugh are the expression of her sunny disposition. In fact, her in- fectious laugh was so highly appreciated when Dot played the role of the hyena at our annual Christmas party that she was called upon for a return engage- ment the following year, much to the delight of both adult and juvenile members of the audience. In ad- dition to her cheerfulness, Dorothea possesses those sterling qualities of eagerness to help and a coopera- tive spirit in any situation. We shall always re- member her as a steadfast worker for the Class of 1940 and for the Teachers College.

Do you remember when Blanche broke our hearts as the handsome, dashing Earl of Bothwell? But it is not only in dramatics that Blanche is at her best; she excels in sports as well. We shall always remem- ber her as one of the most valuable members of the basketball team and as the best punter in our gym games. Blanche ' s outside activities have not inter- fered with her college work, for she is a fine student, especially in mathematics and art. Her keen sense of humor and her ever-helping hand contribute to her popularity.

EVALYN VICTORY CHANNEN Then doth thy sweet and quiet eye Look through its fringes to the sky, Blue — blue — as if that sky let fall A flower from its cerulean wall. Even as a first-year student, fresh from the College Board exams, Evalyn was a model of poise and capability. From the day she entered college, she took her place as one of the most interesting personali- ties of our class. Extremely well-read, very clever with pencil or paint brush, and an intelligent, witty conversationalist, she excels in anything to which she turns her talents. Possessed of decided originality, a facile, vivid style of writing, and a wealth of ma- terial, Evalyn is the girl most likely one day to repre- sent the Class of 1940 on the Best Seller List.

A slow, sweet smile, a flash of white shining teeth, a hearty, happy laugh! There you have Peg! We are sure that she has thoroughly enjoyed her college days, because she has found the secret of blending study and social activities in just the right proportion. When not engaged in study. Peg spends much of her time in active sports, particularly roller-skating in which she excels. We must mention also her taste for music and her interest in the classics to give you a correct idea of Peg ' s versatility.

HELEN FRANCES CURLEY ' Tis good to be merrie and wisel Whatever Helen sets out to do she will inevitably accomplish, for she possesses the full measure of steadiness and constant persistence — qualities which are requisite for success. Her efficient work as a councillor is a proof of her diligent, enthusiastic ap- plication to club and class activities. This is but one phase of her well-rounded personality. Helen ' s love of fun has made her a popular participant in all class dances. Her willingness to help others shows her to be a sincere, unselfish friend. Helen ' s charming man- ner and true comradeship will never be forgotten.

Thou and I shall never agree. At one moment Loretta is quiet, calm, and serious; then with a lift of an ej ' ebrow and a gay smile she becomes the girl who keeps us always laughing. Her witty ditties have livened many a free hour, and when Loretta laughs in her own happy way it ' s im- possible to keep a straight face. An energetic worker, always ready to cooperate, Loretta is a joy to any committee chairman. Tolerant, broad-minded, and fair, she is one of the most loyal friends we could desire. Elementary-School Course Lampas Staff; Welfare Club; Athletic Association; Drama Club; Mathematics Society; Alpha Circle. ANN CUTLER The star of the night And the lily of the day, Fairy belle, the queen of the dell, Long may she revel in her bright, sunny way. The teaching profession was fortunate to attract Ann from other fields to which her varied talents might have taken her. Dancing is her first love, and those of us who saw her in Evangeline can appreciate her inspiring performance. Her art work can usually be seen adorning the walls of our corridors, and her histrionic ability was evidenced when she played the despicable James Stuart in our history-making presen- tation, Alary of Scotland. Add to these talents a flair for cooking and a gift for making and holding friends, and you have Ann. Fate has stacked the cards so that Ann is bound to win success in more than one field.

MARY CATHERINE DONOVAN Music as sweet as the music Which seems Breathed softly and faint in the Ear of our dreams. Mary to us means Music, for she excels in that branch of the Fine Arts. She not only plays the violin beautifully but is a capable pianist as well. Last but not least, she has a lovely singing voice which has added much to Music Club activities. Another of Mary ' s talents is her abilit} ' to gain fiiends. Her personality, quiet and refined, has a charm which is as unpretentious as it is irresistible. Mary, by her nature as well as by her music, has brought harmony into our college years. Major: Music Minor: General Science Self-Government Association iCouncillor ' 38, ' 40); Welfare Club; Music Club; Science Club; String Ensemble. ANNA TERESA DOWD A roguish smile, a merry jest, A depth of heart you ' d never guess. Since our freshman year Anna has played an im- portant part in making our college activities success- ful. She has that rare combination of extreme effi- ciency and lovely graciousness which makes her a valuable committee member. Like most active stu- dents, Anna shines in all her classes as well as at social affairs. Her wholesome sense of humor, her desiie for fair play, her sincere friendliness, and her love of fun are but a few of the reasons for her popu- larity. Because she is such a lovable girl, we are sure that our wish for her success will come true.

Her pres- ence in any place is proclaimed by laughter or a chorus of giggles from that section. Ihis lovely colleen has beautiful long-lashed blue eyes which are not only lovely in laughter but also beautiful when their expression is serious. An excellent student, an enthusiastic basket-ball player, a sympathetic friend, Agnes will go on her merry way capturing hearts with her disarming smile. hk ' iiK ' ntary-School Course Lampas Staff; Welfare Cluh; Athletic Association ( ' ice- President ' 39, ' 40 ; Drama Club; Alpha Circle. VIRGINIA MARIE EGAN You forget my special magic, In a higli dramatic sense. Lies in situations tragic — Undeniably intense. A born leader and director, tall, poised, and self- possessed, Virginia is one of the most distinctive members of our class. Her individual and ver - at- tractive style of dress and coiffure bears witness to an unusual personality. Virginia ' s dramatic abilit ' , as displayed by her portrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots, is only one of her outstanding talents. A string desire to travel to mysterious and unfrequented parts of the world, a decided penchant for the read- ing of biographies, and an enthusiasm for music, classical as well as popular, are but a few of the in- terests of this universally popular classmate.

Quite the mistress of any situation, she is remarkable for her poise, her crisp cool manner, and her sincerity. The Fine Arts claim her special attention; she delights in beaut ' whether it be of handwork or of music. Like all well-rounded people, she is gay and fun-loving, quick to appreciate humor and to join in a good time. We are sure that life will never become a perplexing problem for Peggy, since nothing can ruffle her cool composure. Spi ' cial-Class Course Welfare Club; Music Club. ELEANOR JOSEPHINE FARRY Sense is the diamond, weighty, solid, sotind; When cut by wit, it casts a brighter beam; Yet, wit apart, it is a diaiiwiicl slill. Whenever geography or anything relating to natural phenomena is mentioned, we note a look of keen in- terest in Eleanor ' s dark eyes. History in any phase, be it in a textbook, a newspaper, or the latest novel, also awakens her ardent enthusiasm. In her more frivolous moments she likes nothing better than to listen to the latest phonograph selections, especially if Artie Shaw wields the baton. In our years together we have found Eleanor to be a girl of wide interests, keen mind, and an engaging personality.

Not only did she receive honor grades consistently, but she was one of the most dependable and capable girls in the Music and the History Clubs. Alwa s a pleasing writer, Charlotte was editor of our history paper, The Courier, and is associate editor of our Lampas.

RITA FRANCES FITZGERALD I.iltle deeds of kindness. Utile icords of love In an era of athletic college girls who often can show their brothers how to shoot a basketball or hit a home run. Teachers College takes piide in presenting the charmingly feminine Rita, — a dainty, demure girl who makes no claim to prowess in masculine fields of endeavor. But despite her utter femininity, Rita is not the clinging-vine type. She has a wealth of common sense, a strength of determination, and sound reasoning powers that make her a valuable as well as an enjoyable friend.

The poet who wrote of sugar and spice and all things nice must have had Frances in mind. She is as appealingly attractive as a dainty piece of Dresden China. Petite, fastidious, and charming, she is verj ' feminine. Her unassuming manner, her unfailing courtesy, and the even tenor of her tem- perament win for her many friends. Her loyal, effi- cient assistance in college activities is gratefully re- membered. The spice of her personality lies in her frankness, her enthusiastic approval of things modern, and her love of sports. Frances has chosen her field of teaching well. Some kindergarten will be richer because of her understanding and love. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club i.Aide ' 39;; Music Club. ESTHER RACHEL FREE DMAN ' ' Her air has a meaning, her movements a grace, You turn from the fairest to gaze on her face. Esther is a diminutive, dark-eyed, elfin girl. Zeal and industry keep her at her books, and quietly and independently she goes about gathering bits of in- formation which later add much to our class discus- sions. Yet she cannot be said to be merely bookish. Sometimes she will suddenly change into the spirit of youth itself and become, like Peter Pan, an irresis- tible sprite. We value Esther as a member of our class, for her quiet charm is a constant source of pleasure.

A gay, fun-loving spirit and an earnest, capable stu- diousness are two of Peggy ' s outstanding charac- teristics. There is a determined air of persistence about her which marks her as the type of person who will succeed in spite of any difficulties. Peggy ' s work is characterized by an economy of time and effort that is especially unusual when one considers the fine quality of her work. A cheerful, friendly person, she is always eager to enter into the spirit of any undertaking. For this reason, she is welcomed into every group, social and scholastic alike, with equal enthusiasm. n.lementary-School Course Welfare Club; Drama Club; Alpha Circle. WINIFRED LOUISE GALLANT She ' s pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on. Winifred is an ideal college senior, — intelligent, dis- cernirg, quietly competent. Her remarkably coopera- tive spirit and her outstanding ability made her suc- cessful not only as a student but also as president of the Welfare Club. Imagine a combination of friendly charm and merry winsomeness, — a girl with light brown cuily hair topped by a tiny bow, — a girl chock full of songs for firesides, hikes, for lazy spring days. There is our masterpiece — Winkie! In her, ye see poise, seriousness, and charm blended to just the right degree. A toast to our Winkie!

Ginny is a delightful girl whose sparkling eyes and cheery words have added to our enjoyment of all the college proms. Her geniality, her pleasant smile, and her vivacity have won for her as many friends as there are students in the Class of 1940. Her soft, sweet voice has afforded many enjoyable hours of entertainment for her classmates. Do you think it impossible for so petite a person to harbor all these delightful characteristics? Ginny proves that it can be done. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Music Club; Alpha Circle. JOSEPHINE AGNES GILCHRIST Pert as a college girl well can be, Filled lo the brim with girlish glee. To think of Jo is to remember the happiest part of our college life. Blonde, lovely, vivacious, — sincere in her honest enthusiasm for life, she comprises all that is best in the American girl. Her sunny outlook and hearty laugh have livened many a dull hour. With her keen wit and love of fun are blended a gentleness and fairness that make her one of the finest persons we have known. As chairman, she made our Junior Week a grand success. Her true friendliness has placed Jo among the best-loved mem- bers of our class.

Reserved but not remote, quiet but never taciturn — such is Bertha. It does not take long to discover that behind Bertha ' s retiring, unobtrusive manner and shy smile there lurks a gentle humor. You see it in her dancing eyes; you hear it in a droll aside. Always sweet, helpful, and congenial, Bertha is a friend to be remembered. In her work in the commercial de- partment she has shown another une.xpected side to her personality. Her shyness gone, she demonstrates business-like efficiency and remarkable competence.

' ' Charlotte is a madcap. No other word can describe her so well. Her twinkling eyes, her wide frank smile, and her irrepressible good humor have endeared her to all of us. Yet beneath her joviality, we have found her to be a serious and earnest student in her chosen field. Were we casting a play, we should offer Charlotte the role of the serio-comic, for that is the role she portrays in life. Charlotte is humorous enough to be ever cheerful, and serious enough to be truly sincere. Special-Class Course Welfare Club, Athletic Association; Literary Club. WINIFRED MARIE GRAVES In her smite and in her eyes The golden tight of friendship lies. Beneath Winifred ' s air of quiet reserve is a truly friendly spirit. Music is her great love, and she has contributed her talent to the class on more than one occasion. Her accordion serenades have been the source of much pleasure at numerous club and class gatherings. In addition to being one of the most talented seniors, Winnie is also one of the best loved. Her willingness to help, her even disposition, and her quiet thoughtfulness have earned her well-deserved popularity.

Two deep dimples, a shy smile, and an engaging blush are Peggy ' s chief charms. These characteris- tics, coupled with an inquiring studiousness, a love for sports, and a capacity for unselfish friendship, have won for her a large group of devoted well-wishers among her classmates. Peggy ' s warm-hearted per- sonality, based upon high ideals of loyalty and sin- cerity, makes her especially suited to the teaching profession. We can depend upon her always to maintain the ideals of the Teachers College, as ex- pressed in the motto, Education for Service.

CATHLEEN ELIZABETH HANNON So gay she is, Arid with such pretty words, — So like a child for play, A queen for grace. Vivacity and an ardent love of life, a winsome smile, a refreshing naturalness are combined in Kay ' s charming personality. An outstanding student, an enthusiastic prom-goer, and a devotee of the drama, she is an excellent example of the nice balance be- tween study and social life which is the aim of every college student.

On one side we have the serious student, Carolyn; then presto! the mood changes and we see the gay Cal, ready and eager for fun. Capable and cooperative, Cal has proved herself an able executive in the various official positions she has held. Her many friends admire her for her versatility and love her for her loyal friendliness and fun-loving spirit.

Sparkling enthusiasm and enormous pleasure at being alive are revealed by Mary ' s constant good humor and happy smile. Never bored, she enters into an argument with the eager intensity of a child, — yet always is ready to see the other person ' s side. A clever raconteur, illustrating her tales with eloquent gestures and expressive glances, she has often caused the laughter heard from the students ' room or lunch room. Yet, she is kind and gentle, — the one her close friends go to for sympathy, advice, or reas- surance. Is it any wonder that she has a host of friends?

What made the ball so fine? Else was there! Of all the adjectives which could be used to describe Else, graceful seems the most appropriate. Her car- riage, erect and poised, and her manner, courteous, efficient, and gracious, made her the natural choice of the student body when the office of President of the Self-Government Association was to be filled. Else has many talents besides leadership. She is a fine skater, a dancer of unusual grace, and an artist as well. With such a variety of gifts it is not sur- prising that she has won great popularity among her classmates. We consider Else a worthy representa- tive of our class, and we are sure that she will always maintain the highest standards of the college.

Life for Edna will never be dull, for her irrepressible sense of humor comes to the fore on every occasion. Ma ny a class has been brightened by her impulsive, naive responses. Another source of delight to us has been Edna ' s lovely clothes and unique jewelry. She has the knack of choosing clothes that are different enough to be individual, but simple enough to be conservative. One of the pleasantest girls in our class, Edna has earned the title of class optimist.

A great deal of Merle ' s attraction also lies in her ability to make friends and to hold them. Some of us like Merle for her sincerity-, some for her friendliness, others for her humor, and still others for her loyalty.

Yet her charm is still greater to her friends, who know her warm-hearted loyalty and her deep sincerity. Millie appreciates the finer things in life, — art, literature, drama, and, most of all, music.

We have found, too, that her winning manner is supplemented by an ability to work willingly and efficiently. An outstanding proof of this lies in her fine record as Vice-President of the Welfare Club. Anne ' s performance in the role of a dashing dragoon in Patience revealed her versatility as well as her capability. Her natural sweetness and her sym- pathetic nature will go far towards making her teach- ing career a success, as even the shyest child will re- spond quickly to Anna ' s bright cheerfulness.

MARY LOUISE TURLEY Thy purpose firm is equal to the deed. Industry is in itself an asset, but when combined with sociability, efficiency, and charm, it results in a per- sonality that is as attractive as it is dependable. Among Mary ' s varied interests, art takes a prominent part, and she finds great enjoyment in drawing and painting. Sports and dramatics are also included in her list of preferences, as her active membership in the Athletic Association and Drama Club indicates. Throughout her college years she has proved herself a conscientious student, a steadfast friend, and a pleasing companion.

The gay, fast music of a Polish dance mingles with bright-colored costumes to create a scene of beauty and movement. Sophie is one of the dancers. The clear sweet music of a violin holds the attention of an appreciative audience and is rewarded by a burst of applause. Sophie is the musician. — A sunny class- room filled with eager children combines an atmos- phere of enjoyment with an air of industrious study. Sophie is the teacher. These are but three of the many scenes in which Sophie proves the capability and versatility which, combined with her modesty, make her so well loved.

We shall probably remember Irene best for her shin- ing chestnut ringlets. She is so charming, so worder- fully sympathetic and understanding, that we can easily imagine her the center of an adoring class of youngsters. She is dainty and feminine to her finger- tips; yet she has such mental clarity that many a time we have beer deeply impressed with her clear technical explanation of obscure points.

Solve the complicated plot — Quiet, calm deliberation Disentangles every knot. With the mind of a scientist and the heart of a humani- tarian, Gertrude represents an amazing combination of cold logic and warm sympathy. Her keen, clear mind, her determination, and her quiet efficiency have brought her success as a student of the sciences, as an executive of the Science Clubs, as a member of the Lampas Staff, and as an amateur photographer. Her warm heart and her serene, thoughtful nature have endeared Gertrude to those who know her. Fortunate, indeed, is the girl who can call her friend.

ANITA ESTHER WEISMAN Take a pair of sparkling eyes. Hidden ever and anon, In a merciful eclipse. Dark, shining, well-groomed hair; soft, pretty sweaters; and the most contagious laugh in S 1 — no need to go further to describe Anita. Her cheery optimism is like a tonic, for, no matter how dark the cloud, Anita can always discover the silver lining. She approaches her work with an earnest interest and a serious intent to succeed; she completes it with an efficiency characteristic of a capable student. We can safely predict a successful future for one who is both an earnest worker and a pleasant companion.

Her ability to wear clothes, and her unusual taste make her a model for what the well-dressed college girl is wearing. Having a faculty for giving quick, appro- priate rejoinders to whatever is being said, Mary is a definite asset to any conversation. Though usually- gay, Mary has another side — serious, quiet, and sin- cere. In a discussion of the latest literary works, her up-to-date knowledge of books is apparent.

Originality is the keynote of Selma ' s personality. Out of a piece of crepe paper she forms a doll, a flower, or some party favor. Vivacious, sparkling, and exhilarating, she typifies the gypsy personality. Practical as well as artistic, Selma certainly filled the coffers of the class treasury. Hence she is our nominee for the first woman Secretary of the Treasury at Washington. Selma ' s efficiency in handling money finds its counterpart in her ability to handle a basket- ball. Her interest in athletics, drama, art, and other fields has made her a stimulating and interesting companion.

But lo! A bright torch gleams ahead Where new roads lead, new tasks begin. Loud trumpet calls of life inspire, We ' ll follow bravely, vanquish fears. The challenge of the path before us We ' ll meet with courage through the years. The way that we have trod till now Was eased by Guidance, lit by Truth. Wise Knowledge calmed our childish fears, While sage Experience spared our Youth. Ideals of duty we ' ve been given, And taught that we must heed Life ' s call. Devoted to the noble motto, Service to others, Love for all. Go forth and teach, — guide youthful footsteps To mountain tops of radiant light; Fulfil the mission thus intrusted. And keep the torch of knowledge bright. Journeys end in new beginnings. Unfurl the banners, start today To face the future bravely, nobly, And trust that God will bless the way. Virginia C. Noonan {78} CLASS HISTORY A Fantasy High above the clouds in a northern corner of Ancient Attica, rise the windy heights of Mount Olympus, eternal home of the immortals. From bards of old we learn of its lordly inhabitants: the almighty Zeus, whose thunderbolts have been hurled at the earth since man first recognized the wrath of the gods; the incomparable Aphrodite, symbol of all that is beautiful and unattainable; the sceptered Athena, who sprang, precociously enough, full-grown from the head of Zeus; the relentless Poseidon, whose capricious trident has been ever the bane of the mariner. Splendid were the glories of Elysium, upon which human eye had never gazed! Yet it happened not so very long ago, that the finely-wrought gates of Mount Olympus swung open, admitting to the sanctum of the eternal, another group of the darlings of the gods. It is a beautiful June day. Ceremonial gowns flapping gently in the soft breeze, green-and-gold beribboned certificates of immortality clutched firmly in our hands, we, the Class of 1940 of the Teachers College of the City of Boston turn away from the frivolities of the world, to take our places among the honored of Olympus. Suddenly, as the great gates swing closed behind us, a thought flashes through our minds. We, like the mighty gods about us, no longer mortal, are endowed with omniscience. The why and how of all things past, present, and forever more, are within our understanding; all time is as one to us. Our past selves as well as our present selves are within our ken. Shades of Athena! Lo! there before our eyes, emerging from the shadows are the astral bodies of our earth-born selves. Unbelievable, but nevertheless true! Before us stand ourselves as Freshmen away back in 1936. How young, how inexperienced, how bewildered we appear! Just lookl Frasier and Armentrout burden our frail young shoulders. Downcast eyes bespeak the humiliation we feel in the realization of our inability to speak our own language correctly. From our pallor, health education is evidently a purely objective study. As if all these mis- fortunes are not enough to try the patience of our most docile Job, here come the Juniors whooping along the warpath, eyes alight with mischief. White cotton stockings we wear during Freshman Week, and baby costumes at the Party. What a blow to one ' s ego! Yet with prophetic vision we see these seemingly Mephistophelean Juniors as our friends and guides in the years to come. As we Olympian neophytes stand about the Foyer of Education, eyes fi.xed on the scene before us, that ever-to-be-remembered September day four years ago rises from the mists, and we watch the formal introduction of the new class to the faculty. To us now, Dr. Kennedy, Dean Linehan, Miss Sallaway, and our former instructors have long been old and true friends, whom we have known for years; yet we can realize the timidity and the uncertainty of our young shadow-selves at this, their first formal meeting. Magically the year unrolls before our eyes. The long-awaited party for our friendly Junior rivals comes and goes, though even on Olympus the hilarity of the famous Model School parody still produces the effect of laughter holding both his sides. Tradition is as strong among the immortals as it is among the earth- born, and the Freshman preparation of the daisy chain is carried on with all the dignity and solemnity of an Olympian festival. And now, as the gay, sophisti- cated youngsters, with Else Junker, Mary Sullivan, Phyllis Murphy, and Mar- 79} guerite Barry in the vanguard, sway to the rhythm of the Muses at their Fresh- man-Sophomore Prom, our Freshman alter-egos fade away into the past. With all the charm and savoir-faire of Sophomores, our counterparts of ' 37 now appear on the magic stage; disguised as young naturalists, their arms laden with wild flowers and gaily-tinted leaves, they are led by Diana of the Hunt. As the procession, marshalled by Mary Sullivan, Helen Moran, Mildred Alcott, and Charlotte Fellman, continues in the background, our attention is attracted to what appears to be some sort of carnival. Santa Claus is Santa Claus wherever you are, and his appeal is not lessened even on Olympus. Our Sophomore selves have for the moment discarded all vestiges of academic decorum, with Manly and Hegner and Cameron into the bargain, and are going through the queerest antics in the most ridiculous costumes, much to the delight of a crowd of merry youngsters. It does not take long to realize that this is the Christmas Party, but what puzzles us is — Where is the famous T. C. dignity? Hark! what is this? Feasting has ever been the favorite pastime of all, gods and mortals alike, and now we gaze upon a particularly gay supper party. Such a sound of revelry by night, and a grand addition to the Lampas Fundi Look ye, now, yonder, toward the conservatory! Can it be other than Selma Younis presiding over a bower of daffodils and violets and bachelor buttons? What a flood of perfectly brilliant color! On such heavenly beauty, mortal eye never rested, except at the Sophomore Flower Sale. And so we watch another year ' s events at the Citadel of Athena recede into the shades of the past. Irresistible strains from Orpheus ' lute delight our ears as the last of the procession dances by, and the dreamed-of Freshman-Sophomore Festival at the Temple of the Springs is over. With something approaching the wild surmise of Cortez as he gazed at the Pacific, we late mortals view these scenes of our youthful triumphs and mourn the passing of so bright a year. Our pensive mood is short lived, however, for soon we are enthralled by the vision of the festivities of another Freshman Week, culmin- ating in a Baby Party. The pervading spirit of fun is tempered only by the mem- ory of our own freshman days, but oh, the difference! — For we as Juniors now assume the role of hostesses at the Faculty Tea. Time rolls his ceaseless course. From another of the green and gold halls in the shadowy land of yesterday comes the sound of more feasting. The Lampas is again being feted, and many a toast is ofifered to the new leaders of the class, — Virginia Egan, Mildred Alcott, Helen Moran, and Selma Younis! Although the gods and goddesses have given us a royal welcome to Olympus, yet they evince little interest in the passing events at which we are gazing spell- bound. But our Junior Week Celebration disturbs even Olympian serenity. Chariots charge about; minstrel bands suddenly appear, and then are heard no more; halls are decorated; even thunderbolts are hurled — and the first day of Junior Week finally dawns. In the Temple of the Midday Repast, the familiar boards and benches reminding us of days of yore, we see again the Junior Banquet, the gods of revelry holding forth on this night of nights. Then to the well-trod stage, anon troops the joyous clan (though to be quite accurate, the famous learned sock of Jonson ' s was noticeably missing in the Hub of the Universe that week). Hearken! what soft Lydian airs are these, emanating from the Temple of Parker? Who are the fair young gods and goddesses who sway before the altar of the Muses at this Junior Promenade? And among the Graces do we not recognize Eros? On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined! {80} Junior Festivities come and go, and now the Halls of Learning echo the sounds of cutting and pasting and sewing. The disciples of Athena have turned domestic, and the successful Doll Sale is the result — dolls of every land to gladden the hearts of all who care to help the Lampas. By the beards of Gilbert and Sullivan! Nota bene! A milkmaid among our scholarly shadows! What means this interference of this bold girl? And dragoons and aesthetic maidens and long-haired poets! ' Tis Patiencel Long may her triumph be remembered! Once again comes a pause in the familiar pilgrimage upon which we gaze — a pause that prepares us for the climax of our four years ' journey. Heralded by Mary Sullivan, Mildred Katz, Anna Dowd, and Selma Younis, the procession enters the lyceums. Projects and lesson plans and courses of study fill the air, — and the teachers of tomorrow take up their share in the tradition of the service, to lead youth with its ardor to seek for the light. All, however, is not pedagogical dignity. Now we are witnessing the October Lampas Dance; now the Senior Thespian Festival. As the year unfolds before us, it appears as though one fair maiden there amongst the shadows is possessed of the touch of Midas, for every goblet of nectar (cup of tea), and every morsel of ambrosia (sandwiches) seem to turn to gold beneath her fingers, — a mighty tri- umph for the great god, Lampasl Now turn your gaze hither, O gods of eld, and ye newly-arisen, too, for the glorious Promenade of Athena ' s and Aphrodite ' s elect is on! O Youth and Beauty, loved of all ! The music of the spheres competes with the melodious hum of the golden shafts of Eros. Even we, on the heights of Olympus, are touched by the beauty of the scene before us. Thus the fleeting year approaches its end. The Herculean labors are exe- cuted, — brilliantly, of course. Celebration and festivity in honor of the god of Completion and Fulfilment reign supreme. A reception by the gods and god- desses of Olympus opens the Senior Week festivities, followed by a solemn bac- calaureate ceremony. Class Day brings with it the colorful procession of the chosen, the graceful daisy chain which magically traces the figures 1940 upon the green turf, the gay and gracious Promenade where Hebe and Aphrodite again share the honors. This is a day that will truly live in our hearts forever. Now to the seashore, as guests of the venerable Poseidon, crowds the fun-bent troop, for a day of careless frolic in the sunshine. Then a last convivial evening of feasting fills the cup of happiness to overflowing. On the afternoon of June sixth, the solemn ceremony of Commencement takes place not far from the Oracle of Athena, and the prize we sought is won! Zeus himself is on the podium , the most exalted gods of the heavens assisting. The elect of Olympus, uncertain at first, but gaining confidence at every step, begin their inspired march along the untrodden path to immortality. Slowly and thoughtfully, with hope and expectation in their hearts, the Class of 1940 of the Teachers College of the City of Boston turn away from the frivolities of the world, to take their places among the honored of Olympus. The shades of yesterday begin to dissolve in the bright summer sun. Is this really Olympus? Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music: — Do I wake or sleep? Eleanor Sail {81} CLASS SONG I The parting hour is drawing near, When friends must say farewell ; Of college days of joy and cheer In years to come we ' ll tell. Once more we sing with voices clear, In halls we love so well. Once more we sing with voices clear, In halls we love so well. II Too swiftly sped the golden days. The short sweet years have flown. O mem ' ry, in thy shining rays Keep bright the joys we ' ve known! Though paths may follow varied ways, True friends remain our own. Though paths may follow varied ways, True friends remain our own. Ill God give us courage to maintain Each noble impulse born; Our banners bless, our faith sustain, With truth our lives adorn. Then let us sing in gladsome strain To greet a fair new morn. Then let us sing in gladsome strain To greet a fair new morn. Charlotte Fellman {82} CLASS ESSAY OPTIMISM What is the future that youth faces today? Europe is in the throes of a great war; America is struggling valiantly with serious problems of unemployment, relief, and budget balancing; youth is confronted by a future more uncertain, more chaotic than it has been for many a year. To all of us comes the problem of tomorrow. Each of our tomorrows will be different; each will present difficulties which we shall have to solve alone. Yet we know that each will hold an abundance of blessings, which, with God ' s grace, we shall use wisely and share generously with others, remembering always that these blessings are only a part of God ' s great plan. We grow nearer the Great Ideal not by pleasures enjoyed, but by trials endured, temptations resisted, evils conquered; every difficulty we over- come, every hill we climb, every stream we cross, will make us stronger, nobler, Godlier. What happens in our tomorrows is unimportant; what is important is the manner in which we meet what happens. We cannot fail, we shall not be bowed down in the dust of despair, if we but keep the optimistic outlook, the courage that in life ' s darkest hour says, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. We speak of the optimistic outlook, but what is the meaning of this rather vague term? Unfortunately, optimism has been popularly typified by Pollyanna, that exponent of sweetness and light, or by Mr. Micawber with his cheerful philosophy of something will turn up! Then again, optimism has been ridiculed as a state of mental unconsciousness to the disconcerting elements in life, like that of the Duchess in Alice in Wonderland. But being an optimist does not mean being a Pollyanna, a Mr. Micawber, or a Duchess. True optimism is very different from the attitude of these characters toward life and its problems. Pollyanna believed in the goodness of life, yes — but to her everything and everybody were good, no pain or strife or evil existed. The true optimist, mature in mind, recognizes the grief and suffering that life exacts, but to him, life, no matter what the cost, is worth the price we all must pay. Is it not this that Sara Teasdale had in mind when she said, Spend all you have for loveliness. Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strife well lost. And how simple, how free to us all are the beauties of which she sings, Blue waves whitened on a cliff — Soaring fire that sways and sings — Music like a curve of gold — Scent of pine trees in the rain — Children ' s faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup. Truly, life has loveliness to sell, but the pity of it is that we often are blind. We have eyes, but we see not. We let a momentary discouragement, an unmerited rebuke, an unforeseen obstacle close our eyes to the beauty that is 04 everywhere around us, — in nature, in literatu re, in art, in music, in our fellow man. We do not need to go out of our own homes or our own college to find those who have unselfishly dedicated their lives to the patient, helpful, sympathetic guidance of youth. That beautiful word, magnanimous, may fittingly be applied to these great-souled, great-spirited, great-hearted friends of ours. Looking back across the years, we see now what, perhaps, we may have failed to see before, — the undying devotion, the uncomplaining toil of those who have helped us reach our goal. Their faith in us, their aid in our weakness, — these are not things isolated, apart, remote from daily living. All the world over, the great beauty in human character is the chief encouragement and support of many a weary struggle. It is oftentimes the inspiration that makes possible the fulfill- ment of our ideals. Yes, evil exists; but the good and the beautiful in life are forces of overwhelming power. True optimism is not the belief that everything in life is good, but simply the intense realization that there is good in life, and that the good in life overbalances the pain and the evil. Dear Mr. Micawber! Dickens has drawn his portrait so skillfully that the cheery fellow has earned for himself a place in the hearts of the world, but, for all that, he still remains a silly old sentimentalist. Indeed he does possess a cheerful temperament, a decidedly hopeful outlook. He always says that something is bound to turn up, and for that something he is eternally waiting. Waiting! The true optimist does not wait for life to favor him with her blessings. He takes the cheerful and hopeful temperament and makes it work for him. He uses hope to find a way through the problems that beset him. He believes that something is bound to turn up only if he goes forth and turns it up! It takes courage to look an obstacle squarely in the face, to say to it, You e.xist, and I know that you exist; but I will not let you defeat me without a struggle. Disappointments are bound to come. Life is full of bitter ironies. Let us not permit them to rob our hearts of joy. Let us face life with cheerfulness and courage, hope and faith, for these are the elements of which true optimism is made. Another essential element of optimism is a sense of humor. It is a panacea for the ills of the world, for the wear and tear of daily life. It is a divine gift that enables us to see the infinitesimal minuteness of ourselves as compared to the in- finite universe and to eternity. It is a rod by which we may gauge the pettiness, the fleeting transiency of many of our most distracting problems. For us partic- ularly, engaged as we shall be in the guidance and education of children, and struggling daily with the thousand-and-one problems of the school-room, a sense of humor can mean the difference between success and failure. It is a good bal- ance-wheel for life. One of the unforgettable scenes of Alice in Wonderland is that in which the Duchess, totally unconscious of the well-aimed pots and pans which the cook is throwing at her, and completely ignoring the howling of the baby that she holds in her arms, converses calmly with Alice. Most people regard the Duchess only as an excruciatingly funny character, and few of us would care to be like her. Yet some of the world ' s greatest men, possessing this same quality of con- centration, were able to ignore, or at least to minimize, the adverse conditions that might have kept them frorh success. Their sublime confidence in their great aims enabled them to disregard and even to ignore discouraging factors that { 85 would impede their progress. Lincoln in his fight for a nation unified with freedom for all, Goethals in building the canal that could not be built, Lindbergh in flying across an ocean alone for the first time in the history of civilization, by optimism accomplished what seemed the impossible. Optimism, however, soars on silvern wings not by its belief in the beauty and goodness of life, its doctrine of courage and hope in the face of despair, its sublime confidence which will not envision defeat, but rather by its divine origin, a firm faith in God. No matter what happens to us, if we believe with Browning that God ' s in his heaven, how can we face life with an outlook that is other than optimistic? How can we despair? — for as Arthur Hugh Clough says, It fortifies my soul to know That though I perish. Truth is so; That, howso ' er I stray or range, Whate ' er I do. Thou dost not change. I steadier step when I recall That, if I slip, Thou dost not fall. All of us need the optimistic outlook both for our own sakes and for the sake of other people. There is no more tedious person than the pessimist. We came into the world to live life; let us live it with cheer and hope and vision, with firm belief in the goodness of God, and deep gratitude for His blessings. Getting a start in our profession will probably be a long pull and a hard one. Endurance will undoubtedly be a factor in our success. But there is no power like a sunny disposition to dispel gloom and to help us to keep on trying, for laughter is contagious. As a poet of long ago said, A merry heart goes all the day, A sad one tires in a mile-0! Let us, therefore, make optimism our password to success, — the password that will help us to find the place in life for which we were intended. Let us, seeing always the silver lining of even the darkest cloud, press onward and upward to the new goals we set today, — this day that marks a milestone in our lives. Browning, the keynote of whose life was optimism, gives us an inspiring message for the years to come, in the noble lines, One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break. Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better. Sleep to wake. Agathina L. di Bella {86} COURTYARD SONG I Daisies and ivy winding today Our lives are binding, though far we stray ; Memories come winging as we are singing, Flowers all fair we ' re bringing: To this happy day our thoughts will stray as time passes, And joy will fill our hearts; We end our college years with farewell tears to our classes, But joy is in our hearts; Work and fun were mingled together. And mem ' ries sweet will linger forever; Our goal is far ahead ; still may we tread paths of glory — And joy be in our hearts. II Daisies and ivy winding today Our lives are binding, though far we stray; Memories come winging as we are singing. Flowers all fair we ' re bringing: Daisies fresh and fair will always bear happy memories Of Alma Mater, dear; We part with friends today; now must we say fond farewells to Our Alma Mater, dear; Onward go with strong courage fired. Our hearts aglow with deep love inspired. And ever as we go, to thee we ' ll show our fond homage, O Alma Mater, dear! Mary Agnes Hedstrom {87} IVY ORATION The planting of the ivy is the traditional ceremony that marks the closing of our college career. To us the ivy has something of the significance that the laurel had in classic times. It is the symbol of past attainment and the pro- phecy of future achievement. With its firmly established roots, its ever-spreading branches,, and its climbing tendrils the ivy vividly symbolizes for us the necessity for a strongly grounded character, an open-minded search for knowledge and truth, and the fulfilling of high aspirations and ideals. Just as the ivy year by year sends its roots deeper into the soil, so should the principles that form our characters grow ever stronger and firmer. Life demands of each one of us fine principles of honor, courage, and integrity, that we may never follow false standards, but always fight bravely for the right. The spreading of the ivy suggests that our search for knowledge should be never ending. It is significant that the ceremony at which we receive our degrees be called Commencement, a name which should remind us that our education is not completed, but only beginning. Our desire for knowledge should not be entirely for its own sake, but for the power it gives us to be of ser- vice to others. Our obligation is twofold, — we must cherish our own love of learning and try also to inspire and develop it in others. Knowledge will show us man ' s great potentialities and make us more understanding and tolerant. As the ivy keeps its freshness and vigor, so should we endeavor to retain our youthful enthusiasm and interest, never to be satisfied that our education is completed. Only by continued effort can we develop our own powers and increase our ability to help others. The intellectual life is a continual search for truth. We must first find truth in our own souls. Shakespeare says, This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day. Thou can ' st not then be false to any man. It is especially necessary for the teacher to be true, for it is this inner integrity that gives her the power to lead and inspire others. As the ivy grows, its tendrils reach ever higher and higher, so should we in our ideals and aspirations seek always the best and noblest in life. May we never be satisfied with what is cheap and easily attained. Not failure, but low aim is crime. We are about to take our first independent step in life. Let us pray that the years may bring to each of us the happiness of heart and the peace of soul that come only through work done squarely and unwasted days. Mary Joan Sullivan Class President 88} CLASS WILL The time has come the Seniors know, When their worldly goods they must bestow. But before we bequeath specifically, There ' s a general gift to the faculty. Our gratitude we leave en masse For all you ' ve done for the Senior Class. And now our heirs we wish to warn, If you our simple gifts should scorn. Remember no matter what you find it, The gift doesn ' t count; it ' s the thought behind it. Our first bequest is to Dr. Kennedy: Our hearty thanks we leave with you For all the times you ' ve seen us through. When things looked black and hope was gone You gave us leave to carry on. Dean Linehan : Shakespeare ' s works we leave to you, And we hope you ' ll read them through, So when Seniors the regular question bring. You ' ll promptly say, — The play ' s the thing! Miss Sallaway : How to express our appreciation We ' ve finally found with much elation. A perfect class is our gift to you — They ' ll never ask to give a Revue. To the History Department: Justice used a scale, so we Leave this instrument to thee. With the hopes that you will soon Place upon it Hayes and Moon; Then add Breasted, till it ' s plain Why we ' ve never been quite sane. To the Health Education Department: We would not hurt your reputation But are compelled upon observation, With a successor to endow The skeleton in your closet now ; For the one you ' ve got is just a riot. He didn ' t get a balanced diet. T o the Biology Department: Since you left us without illusions, We leave you the sum of our conclusions: Frogs pickled in formaldyhide With lunch, we find, don ' t coincide. As for passing marks — we ' ve lost all hope; They couldn ' t be found with a microscope. To the English Department : Not lacking in appreciation But believing in eye conservation. An edition of Manly we leave to you. With larger print, and pictures, too. 09} To the Education Department: With I. Q. ' s working we devised A test that ' s really standardized. First answer ' s true — three false, and then Back we go to true again. This ratio of one to three Will raise the median you ' ll see. To the Chemistry Department: When hydrogen-sulphide permeates, An aversion within us it creates, But any objection will not do. So Mischa Auer we leave with you. The class ' s opinion he ' s promised me He ' ll tell you confidentially. To the Geography Department: Our gift to you took preparation — We gathered all our information About the sun and the equator. Reflections cast, and other data. The book we wrote — the class bestows ; It ' s name? — Why just The Shadow Knows . To Miss Clark: Dear Miss Clark we here endow With a wonderful gift, — you will allow. Her eyes will sparkle when she sees The Indian tribe of Cherokees, Who ' ll show her classes one by one The corn dance as it should be done. To Miss Trommer: To our Miss Trommer a contribution We make in fullest retribution For all the times, we sadly state, We mailed that letter, but sometimes late; A carrier pigeon we give to you Who ' ll see for certain the mail goes through. To Mr. Shea: Our thanks the Senior Class bestows For the glamour you gave us in many a pose. And when Hollywood sees and claims us — then You ' ll proudly say: I knew them when. To MissKallen: Our gift to you we surely trust Will cure the Seniors of wanderlust. It ' s a cruise-car which without hesitation Will take them to their destination. To Mr. Read: The gift which we to you have sent Is the other side of the argument. We left it to you for we despaired Of making you see it unimpaired, And we sent it because if we came too, You ' d find a third side and argue it through. •{90} To Miss Donovan and Miss Quintan: A carton of wheaties we leave in your care, Which you must with your classes share, They really need them more than you, For you can keep the box tops, too. To Miss Midgley: The Senior Class with indiscretion Decided to write on Oral Expression. The book to Miss Midgley our gift will be. We can ' t show it all — but a preview you ' ll see. She left her book, she felt her doom. She took three paces through the room, Her poem she ' d learned not — alas — alack! She turned and sadly stumbled back. To Miss Wadsworth and Miss Callahan: Library slips of a morbid blue For overdue books we leave to you. Please use them, for you realize That with our mood they harmonize. To our dear underclassmen — The Juniors: To get you in practice for observation We leave to you without reservation Each discipline case in our classes of yore, — While we go out and look for more. The Sophomores: A special gift to you we ' ve made — An announcer from the Hit Parade, Who ' ll always know, you may rely. Just who the swing arrangement ' s by. The Freshmen : Though this year you haven ' t been much in view We haven ' t forgotten — we leave with you A wish that there will always be Waiting to greet you, our dear T. C. Now from these portals we ' re about to pass. So say goodbye to the Senior Class. Though we depart we leave behind us Signs that help our friends to find us: An open locker — a battered sneaker, A set of excuses, growing weaker. An underlined Snedden — one notebook ring. And even the notebook tied with string. And last of all our hearts we leave That you may not unduly grieve. But if you find it too hard forgetting. Just look us up — we ' ll be cadetting.

The Association was founded and is carried on by students. All club and class activities are discussed and approved at the bi-monthly meet- ings of the Self-Government Council. The Association also sponsors those committees which are so vital to the welfare of the student body, — the house committee with its numerous branches, and the store committee. The Council conducts several social events in the course of the college year, — teas, the Self-Government Association Dance, and the February Luncheon. Although the members of both the executive and legislative bodies of the Self-Government Association vary from year to year, the aim of that Association remains unchanged. The Association was founded for the purpose of developing leadership, self-reliance, and initiative among the students — in short, to make each and every girl a better citizen of our college democracy. •{95} MERIT LAGAMASINO LORLTTA CURRAN SYLVIA KRAMER LUCILLE NORMAN ELEANOR 5ALL ANITA WEISMAN MARGUERITE BARRY DOROTHY BECKER JOSEPHINE GILCHRIST MARY HEOSTROM BESiNlCE McBRlOE AGATHINA Di BELLA BLANCHE CAMIA D ALVN CHANNEN ANNABELLE O ' CONNOR VERONICA 5MEA MILDRED SILVERMAN MARY WIN5T0N LAMPAS STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Carolyn Hedstrom ASSOCIATE EDITOR Charlotte Fellman LITERARY EDITOR Catherine Mahonev BUSINESS MANAGER Elaine Barkin ASSISTANTS Naomi Bazol Loretta Curran Sylvia Kramer ASSISTANTS Agathina di Bella Winifred Gallant Margaret Murray ADVERTISING MANAGER Virginia Noonan ASSISTANTS Virginia Egan Cathleen Hannon Phyllis Madden ART EDITOR Ann Cutler ASSISTANTS Blanche Camia Annabelle O ' Connor Vera Shea Evelyn Channen Mildred Silverman Mary Winston PHOTOGRAPH EDITOR Mary Santry ASSISTANTS Merle Lagamasino Rita McCauley Gertrude Weinberger SNAPSHOT EDITOR Agnes Earley CLUB EDITOR Gertrude Spiegel ASSISTANTS Lucille Norman Eleanor Sail Anita Weisman SECTION EDITORS Marguerite Barry Dorothy Becker Josephine Gilchrist Mary Hedstrom Bernice McBride FACULTY ADVISERS Miss Kee Dr. Nash Mr. Shea •{98 ANN CUTLER MARGARET M.

The Art Club, having for its aim the development of artistic ability outside of the regular college program, offers its members pleasure and instruction in this fascinating field. Experiments in varied techniques, illustrated lectures, and visits to current art exhibits are the high lights of the year ' s activities. The sale of hand-blocked Christmas cards and the inspiring Nativity tableau presented each year are convincing proofs of the Club ' s constructive work. As part of the Cooperative Arts Group, the Art Club aids the Drama and Music Clubs in their productions by planning and arranging scenery, costumes, and lighting. Thus, through a program wide in scope and interesting in content, the Club creates an environment where latent talent may be discovered and encouraged. {99 DORIS McCAUSLAND President CATHERINE GILLIGAN Vice-President MA RGUERITE LUKE Secretary RITA McCAULEY Aquarium Director MARGARET MURRAY Biology Director GERTRUDE WEINBERGER Science Director MISS AMMIDOWN, MR.

This year, the Aquarium Club, the Biology Society, and the Science Club united to form the Associated Science Clubs, membership in which is open to all students of the college who are interested in science. The Association sponsors also a special interest in the making of aquaria and in photography. The directors, one for each division of the Association, work together in conducting the club meetings, and separately in their own divisions. All members cooperate for the annual sale at Christmas, the proceeds of which are used to benefit the college. Meetings take the form of demonstrations, field trips, or lectures in special fields. The Clubs make a further contribution to the college by providing scientific reference books which are at the disposal of the entire student body. i 100 PHYLLIS MURPHY President AGNES EARLEY First Vice-President HELEN AICARDI Second Vice-President ADELINE GLASSER Secretary MARY FOX Treasurer MISS QUINLAN, MISS DONOVAN Faculty Advisers ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION girl for every game and a game for every girl. The purpose of the Athletic Association is to provide the program of recrea- tional activities necessary in an ideal college curriculum. In addition to basket- ball, volleyball, swimming, skating, and bicycling, games suitable for small groups have been introduced: namely, ping-pong, deck-tennis, and quiet table games. The members of the Athletic Association receive college letters and numerals according to their accomplishments in the various activities. These awards are presented at the final meeting of the year, which is always a joyous social get- together. The advantages derived from the Athletic Association are particularly valuable. Individual and group participation contributes physical and social benefits, besides developing qualities of educational leadership. { 101 } CLAIRE O ' BRIEN CONSTANCE PULVIRENTI First Vice-President MARY CARROLL Second Vice-President ANNA M.

November 16, 1939, the fifteenth birthday of the Classical Club, has become a Red Letter day in its calendar. Seventy former members, including several who were present at the first meeting, recalled their activities at Teachers College as they met old friends and turned the pages of the Club ' s Memory Book. A telegram from the first president, letters from mem- bers unable to come, and even a box of candy from a member of the faculty made , the event a real birthday celebration. The Club was particularly honored by having Mrs. Kennedy present. Though the November celebration stands out in the 1939 activities, the year ' s program included also the annual picnic in September, the Saturnalia and Christmas observance, the presentation of Valentines Old and New, and, best of all, a talk by Dr. Kennedy on Old Friends from the Classics. The annual banquet, always the climax of the year, cemented anew the bonds of friendship, reawakened the love of the Classics, and reminded all how modern the ancients { 102 } WINIFRED GALLANT President AGNES DONOVAN Vice-President PHYLLIS MURPHY Secretary ELIZABETH JOHNSTON Treasurer DR.

This, the sixth year of the Commercial Club, has been marked by the un- usual interest of its meetings and the exceptionally cooperative work of its mem- bers. Thus the Club fulfilled its primary aims — the presentation of professional information and the fostering of friendships for those whose preferences e.xtend into the business field. Among the speakers whose presence has given enjoyment to the meetings were Assistant Superintendent Muldoon and many former members of the group, who lectured on Commercial Teaching in the High Schools. Other worthwhile features were a discussion of modern advertising for the Christmas season and the observation of accounting machines in operation. As has become traditional, the year was rounded out by a Club reunion held in conjunction with the Alumni dinner. •{103 ESTHER NOLLMAN President VIRGINIA EGAN First Vice-President RUTH WHITE Second Vice-President VIVIENNE BOUDREAU Secretary RUTH HAMBELTON Treasurer MISS CLARK, MISS GAFFEY Faculty Advisers DRAMA CLUB Speak the speech, I pray you, trippingly on the tongue.

As the name Workshop implies, this innovation made costuming, lighting, staging, and make-up major problems, calling for trained committees for the Drama Club productions. This new field of endeavor has proved invaluable, since it gives its members an opportunity to secure experience in all phases of dramatic work. ;i04} RUTH OPPENHEIM Presidente ISABEL SWEENEY Vice-Presidente SARAH RUBINOVIT Z Secretaire MARIE HALLAHAN Tresoriere MLLE.

Among the highlights of this year ' s program have been Professor Robert Gay ' s survey of poetry, the traditional Christmas presentation of the Second Shepheds ' Play, studies of the long poems of Edwin Arlington Robinson, Celtic poetry, the letters of literary men, and a review of the new books of the year.

The Mathematics Society, consisting of undergraduate and graduate stu- dents of the college, and also teachers in service, invites each year well-known lecturers to address its meetings. The realms of abstract and practical mathe- matics are thus brought closer to us. The vital and infinite influence of mathe- matics, not only in our own profession, but in others as well, is shown. Real experience in the teaching of mathematics, presented by those already in the profession, helps our understanding of the problems involved. The climax of the Society ' s activities is an annual banquet which is attended by all the members. Thus the Mathematics Society provides pleasure as well as intellectual profit. { 0l} K m4m ' t m BBH i K ' £«S HHm B ' Hr- - H B ' - ' ' T ' JM HB k ' H Wk - ' P ' J 4 ■  ' ' ■ -_ RUTH HEERDE President MARY KELLY Vice-President MARGARET BOVVE Secretary RITA MORRIS Treasurer MISS BRICK Faculty Adviser MUSIC CLUB Music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts — as the one which, more than any other, ministers to human welfare. For those girls who are not members, the Music Club has been the chief source of musical appreciation during their college years. For those who have taken part in the Club activities, this organization has accomplished its purpose of developing an appreciation of music through personal participation. Although this was not an operetta year, the Music Club has had ample opportunity to give enjoyment and entertainment. The pleasure and interest of many a special assembly has been heightened by the Club choruses. The traditional choral procession, together with incidental music during the play, greatly en- riched the Christmas Pageant. The Music Club by its participation in the Com- mencement exercises brings to a fitting and dignified climax the year ' s activities. •{108 } MARY DONOVAN Violin MILDRED SILVERMAN Violin VIRGINIA GALLIGAN Violin SOPHIE URBAN Violin MARY SANTRY Piano STRING ENSElvIBLE Music resembles poetry; in each Are nameless graces which a master hand Alone can reach. We take great pride in our String Ensemble. This talented group contributes greatly to our enjoyment throughout the year by adding the charm of music to many college events. The ensemble does much to heighten the impressiveness of such solemn occasions as the Education Week observances and the Commencement Exercises, while the incidental music provided for less formal events, such as the Parents ' Day Tea and the Senior Plays, adds an en- joyable note to the festivities. Aside from lending assistance to their classmates, the members of the group obtain both social and intellectual benefits. With an increased musical knowledge each member acquires the spirit of cooperation and helpful friendliness which characterizes the group. { 109 WELFARE CLUB ELEANORE HEERDE ESTHER NOLLMAN ANNE McARTHUR AGNES EARLEY ELEANOR CASEY EDITH FILENE DR.

The Welfare Club, as its name implies, is dedicated to service, — especially to the service of children in the Boston schools. The Club, which comprises in its membership both the faculty and the student body, endeavors to make practi- cal application of its motto, Education for Service; Service for Education. Whatever and wherever the need, the Club tries to help. At Thanksgiving, dinners are sent to homes where holiday cheer would otherwise be lacking; and at Christmas, toys and books, contributed by the Boston kindergarten teachers and by the Club members, go to the Children ' s Ward of the City Hospital, to orphanages, and to settlement houses. Milk is supplied for the school-luncheons of undernourished children; and clothing, shoes, and eye-glasses are provided for needy pupils. Another activity of the Club is the service given in various settlement houses, where Teachers College students conduct classes in music, sewing, dramatics, athletics, and the like. Also contribu- tions are made each year to the Community Fund, the Junior Red Cross, and other worthy causes. Amid the many activities of busy college days, the Welfare Club helps us all to remember that the greatest of these is Charity. { 110 } THE CHRISTMAS TABLEAU Madonna Else Junker Mary Winston Angels Mary Sullivan Margaret Boyle Selma Younis Veronica Shea Cherubs Agathina di Bella Agnes McCarthy Faith Hill 111 } SENIOR PLAYS ENTER THE HERO A Farce CAST Ruth, a romanticist . .

But as Commencement Day draws near And our minds are full of cheer, — We ' ll stop a sec to take you o ' er the grounds. It was books, books, books — In every nook and cranny there were books. There was Beowulf and Gordy, And millions more — O lordy! I hope I never see another book. Biology came next, And even tho ' we had no text. There was always piles of work for us to do. But bugs were not enough — We had all that Manly stufT To read and learn and know for each review. Then in quick succession came The men well-known to fame, — There was Froebel and McMurry and Rousseau. And so three years flew by, And in the twinkling of an eye We were lordly seniors, don ' t you know! Our story now is done And with it schoolday fun ; But soon our new careers we shall begin. Our comments now must end — Looking forward is the trend. And our college days we leave with merry grin.
