Where have sped the flying years? We dreamed of college as a golden future, and already it belongs to the past.

We shall always find between its covers the inspiration which guides us now — the ideal of Teachers College. O t lis a ten u We dedicate this page of our Lampas to our fathers and mothers in grateful acknowledgment of the debt we owe them. Their loving care, their wise counsel, their untiring de- votion, have given us the precious privilege of these happy college years. We hope we shall in some measure reward our parents in the way they would like best, — by noble endeavor and high achievement. 7a tlte CLu o{ 1942 My congratulations to you all on the completion of the work for your degree.

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.

Hubbard came as a shock to the faculty and student body of the Teachers College. Because of her outstanding success as a teacher of history, Dr. Hubbard was appointed in 1927 to the History De- partment of our College. Her special interest was in making history vivid and alive to children, by presenting it in dramatic form. She was the author of a valuable book for teachers, The Teaching of History Through Dramatic Presenta- tion, — and of several volumes of history plays for children, Plays on the Old World Backgrounds of American History, Little American History, Plays for Little Americans, and Citizenship Plays. In 1940 Dr. Hubbard was chosen to prepare a course of study in Economics for the Intermediate Schools. The course which she planned met with enthusias- tic approval, and she was appointed to supervise its introduction into the schools. An earnest student, a thorough scholar, and a devoted teacher, Dr. Hub- bard was always interested in the improvement of educational methods. Her life, her work, and her high professional ideals were an inspiration to all who knew her. 22 s, emat ate k w ?

With enthusiasm, loyalty, and fine class spirit they guided us through four wonderful college years. To the Class of 1942 — to the comrades who have always shared in a spirit of good fellowship their work, their play, and their dreams — Ave acque Vale! Future paths, wherever they may lead, will be brightened by memories of Teachers College. There are no friends like the old friends who have shared our morning days, No greeting like their welcome, no homage like their praise: Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold. Mra. JoJm CoK«.i-i Mildred Baron Friendship ' s greetings, With thoughts of all The carefree, joyous days. What will the well-dressed college girl wear? We shall go to Millie for the answer. However, excellent taste in clothes is not her only claim to class fame. Extremely active in college life, she has worked at various tasks in the Welfare Club and the Selr-Govern- ment Association, while her acting abilities have been displayed in class musicales. Millie is a reliable, efficient committee head. In all that she undertakes, she wins the cooperation of her fellow workers, and the more important the affair, the better is her work in taking charge and making it a great success.

The pride and joy of the accounting class, — an enviable position held by lovable Dot with her well-kept books and neat figures. Invariably correct Profit and Loss Statements appear at the first attempt. Still, all such work ne ' er made Dottie a dull girl. We know her dancing eyes and merry laugh. We cannot imitate those curly brown locks; we can, however, catch that hearty enthusiasm which will always endear Dot to her co-workers.

The sure aim, The steady search for knowledge. Tall, quiet, and unassuming, Sylvia has remained the same gracious person for four years. Though serene in manner she has a sparkling sense of humor, which has lightened many tense moments. Her loyalty to the college has been displayed by the generous spirit with which she has always worked for the success of the class. In Sylvia we find the true student, whose perseverance will win her a high place in her chosen field.

To Ginny class ventures are her own adventures. So we demanded her as our Sophomore President, and our class began to make history. Her eager, winsome personality makes her a bright figure in the Class of ' 42. With a firm hand she has guided some of our most important class activities and has helped on many committees throughout our four years at college. A dignified leader, a helpful classmate, a wonderful pal — thus we describe Virginia. Her sin- cerity and earnestness have won her a large circle of admiring friends who say, Orchids to fair Ginny!

Petite Vivienne — a combination of capability, energy, and feminine charm. We shall long remember her fascinating manner of stressing a point in class. In her special field of English she is widely read, and is deeply appreciative of good literature. We recognized her ability and her talents in choosing her as Lam-pas Literary editor. She has been prominent in our college activities, and we value highly the pleasure we have derived from her acquaintance.

One of the brightest figures in the annals of the Class of ' 42, a combination of cooperation, sweetness, and sincerity, Barbara is in our estimation tops. She personifies for us the wholesome com- panionship of shining college years. As a class officer she was an efficient leader and guided us through a Junior year of gay times and worthwhile activities. Her warm laugh and low vibrant voice contribute to her gracious personality. We hail Barbara as a bonny good classmate whose friendship we shall want to keep when college days are but memories. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography.

Was there ever such a class president! Leadership, energy, vitality, and fun, — our vivacious Fran. From her eager, glowing brown eyes to the very dimple in her chin she radiates enthusiasm. Dig- nity? Yes, and graciousness, too, that will star her name in lists of Self-Government leaders. Her zeal for T. C. is unsurpassed; under her dynamic influence we have reached the climax of college years. A lasting applause for Fran! Her pupils will love her not less than we, and we can wish for nothing more in a classmate.

The major part of Dorothea ' s college time has been spent in the laboratory. The challenge of the test tube and the mysteries of the biology class she meets with calm precision. Indeed we wish that the long hours of the Science courses had released her for more class activities. In playtime Dot is an ardent tennis en- thusiast and has carried over her energetic spirit to her college work. We feel sure that her steady effort will win her a high rank in the teaching profession.

Modern educational methods have their good points. Not the least among them is creating such a teacher as Helen. Could we have chosen the time and the place of our childhood, we would have awaited her patient guidance in our mastery of the three R ' s. Yet, has not our profit been the greater in her fun-loving com- panionship? The strength of her convictions, her optimism and confidence distinguished her in class and Welfare Club activities. United we stand in envy of the pupils of the rising generation who will have Helen as a teacher.

On brief acquaintance one might describe Anne as modest and re- tiring, but we have discovered beneath her quiet manner a cheerful companion. Her excellent work in the Boston Public Library has been marked by the same industry and effort which have shown her to be an earnest student. Anne has delved deep into the field of English literature. She makes outside reading her hobby and a valuable supplement to her English work. Always willing to share her knowledge, she has contributed many helpful and interesting facts to class discussions. We shall have pleasant memories of Anne, and know that we can look forward to her future success.

Irish blue eyes and a teasing smile — our able class treasurer! Anne ' s ability to get results has put her at the head of many class activi- ties. How often with a quick, direct understanding she has sized up a situation and offered a worthwhile suggestion! Lunchtime chats bring tales of her merry experiences. Class entertainments show us an Anne of many talents, whether she be a wooden-shoed Dutch boy or one of the Three Little Fishies. A gay, carefree air and a bright disposition make Anne a favorite everywhere.

Do you remember her as one of the Three Blind Mice of our Sophomore Musicale, or as a gay devotee of jitterbugging? That is the Edith most ot us know, — the all-round good sport, the center of gayety, and the source of a stream of fun which flowed through- out our college years. Slim, and unfailingly energetic, she has contributed more than her share ot the enthusiasm that was ours as a class. She has served on many committees and has been one of our hardest workers. Her ability to look on the bright side of things foretells a happy future for our gay Edie.

Oh, for a typing speed like Nat ' s! Her nimble fi ngers have made her the envy of her fellow commercial majors. Those same flying hands have been ever ready to tickle the ivories at our numerous entertainments, for Nat is generous with all her services. Her fresh, crisp sense of humor has resulted in some of our longest and heartiest laughs; her refreshing observations will linger among our gayest memories of college days. A sincere friend, Natalie is one whose worth is valued by all who know her.

Pink and white complexion in a fluff of golden hair — only Mary can fit this description. Yet, there stops the China-doll illusion. Instead, our littlest girl ' s steady perseverance and executive ability mark, her as a capable and self-reliant person. We note her success- ful management of the candy counter, her active work in the Classi- cal Club, and her whole-hearted efforts for the good of our class. A tinkling laugh heard from The Dancing Doll will always mean Mary. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography.

Her happy nature and cheery laugh have made Adele one of the favorites of our class. She could always be depended upon to hold forth in sociology and psychology classes long enough for the rest of us to collect our wits. No one could surpass her for quick and clear thinking. In class activities she was always a willing worker, and gained fame as our best ticket salesgirl. Who could resist those soft appealing eyes and that bright smile when Adele made a request? We know that her genial manner always will win her friends, and her excellent ability give her professional success.

Spotlights on a glittering background — a graceful figure whirls onto the stage in beautiful harmony with the music. Janet has graced many entertainments with her tap-dancing and her interpre- tations of modern dancing. Her short stay at the University of Miami only increased in Janet a lively interest in our own good times. Her return to Boston gave back to us a vivacious and witty classmate whose enthusiasm will always be her chief asset.

The youngest of our classmates! Yet Marie has proved to be one of the most capable. Her calm, unruffled manner is a constant sur- prise to us, for we have seen her in the center of bustling college activities. Serious or gay, she is a pleasant companion. As an active member of the Girl Scouts she shows the enthusiasm for leadership and guidance which marks the successful teacher. Al- though much of her time is given to working in the Boston Public Library, her studies have never suffered. Marie has always been a conscientious, purposeful worker, whose quiet nature has exerted a gentle influence on us all.

Tall, Saxon-fair Ruth has been one of our most loyal classmates, since Freshman days when she served us in the role of our first class president. Her fun-loving nature gives her a capacity for enjoying life, and she is an ardent sports fan. As a student, she possesses a strong determination, a desire to put across her point, and she delights in a spirited discussion. Her persevering work in college promises well for success in her teaching career.

Genevieve is the favored child of the Muses. Her singing ability is balanced by her talent for drawing. Gen it was who, having drawn many clever posters for class musicales, took leading parts in those same productions. However, her interest in the aesthetic does not lessen Genevieve ' s keen enthusiasm for mathematics, her chosen field of study. Her accurate solving of math problems has become as much an accepted fact as has the outstanding neatness of her notebooks. Meticulousness is the keynote of her personality. A capacity for leadership and a real enthusiasm for class activities have won for Genevieve an ever-increasing circle of college friends.

The ball was soaring high in the air, and there was Madelyn making a non-stop flight around the bases! An enthusiastic member of the Athletic Association during her Freshman and Sophomore years, she endeared herself to all the amateur sportswomen in the class. Then, gradually Madelyn settled down to serious and quiet study, and became an outstanding member of the Geography class. An even temperament enables her to judge things fairly. We have more than once profited by her opinions in settling class discussions. Her remarkable diligence and her love of research predict for her achievement of a high goal. At present Madelyn is an ideal com- bination of athlete and student.

A toast to our versatile Editor-in-Chief! Kay has been a leader in all our student activities, and her ability to undertake the almost impossible and see it through to a triumphant conclusion won her the applause of her classmates. That the Muses of Poetry, Drama, and Music smiled upon her was evident in her success as author, soloist, director, and producer of our Sophomore and Junior Musi- cales. Clever and ingenious, of winning personality and intense loyalty, Kay has given generously to her class. Your college life has been full and gay; so may the years ahead hold happiness in store for you, Kay!

If you want someone to appreciate your latest joke, look to Estella. Her sense of humor and jolly laugh are answers to a jokester ' s prayer. Her clear soprano singing, which gladdened us since Fresh- man days, was given outstanding recognition in her stirring ren- ditions ofPIav, Gvpsies andof Chloe in our Class Musicales of ' 40 and ' 41. Her talents, however, do not end with the light and gay. In spirited discussions Estella takes a leading part. A serious and conscientious student, she has contributed much in her quiet way. We are proud to be numbered among her acquaintances.

Her song is as sweet as a lark ' s! Helen ' s clear young voice made her a star of both our Sophomore and Junior Class Musicales. And she is as lovely as her voice. None can vie with those soft brown curls and that rosy complexion, but her special charm is her sweet- ness. Throughout her college years she has worked earnestly for the benefit of the Welfare Club, and as a Senior has ably carried out her office of Treasurer. We envy her pupils their gracious young teacher.

You may always expect a warm, whole-hearted greeting from Edith. Through four years she has maintained her high scholastic record. Her work is done with such ease that it seems to be com- pleted before we realize that it has actually begun. The sound of tinkling piano keys will always bring back to us the memory of Edith. Just give her a piano, and then listen while she carries you away with the magic of her music. We hope that her future will be as bright and sunny as she has made our college years.

Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue. Margaret really needs little advice in the art of speaking. Her warm, vivid personality alone could hold an aud- ience, and with her remarkable vocabulary and gracious delivery she is a joy to hear. There is a touch of the gay spirit of Erin in her twinkling eyes, so we do not wonder at her ability to look on the bright side of things. Whether studying for exams or striving for victory in a fast game of ball, she is a jolly companion. Margaret ' s college pursuits have been characterized by quick reasoning and strong determination. Her excellent work and friendly spirit promise her a worthwhile reward. Major: Geography Minor: History Self-Government Association (Councilor .

When in need of a poster for banquet, dance, or entertainment, we have always turned to Sophie. With that nonchalant air so char- acteristic of her she has produced a charming masterpiece of life and color. In her ca ' m, unruffled personality we have yet to see the trace of any perturbation. Drawing, reading, walking, and tennis take leading roles in the activities of this able student, whose ex- tensive vocabulary and rich background of English Literature will prove to be of value in her teaching career.

Ready! Action! Lights! Rita, as stage director of our Sophomore and Junior Musicales, won enviable fame. Her mastery of lighting and her knowledge of stage technique gave her an important part in the production of the Christmas Tableau, and in the presentation of Twelfth Night by the Drama Club. However, the play is not the only thing for Rita. During her college years she has held office in many clubs. Her artistic abilities were recognized by her appoint- ment as Art Editor on the Lampas Staff where as in all college activities, her work is that of an able, efficient, willing leader.

By her ready wit and keen sense of humor she has proved herself to be the jolly companion of us all.

A ray of sunshine, a blithe spirit, a green-eyed Ariel — any of these terms may be applied to Ginny. We never know whether to expect a new poem, a Shelley quotation, the latest joke, or an account of her adventures. Her repartee has brightened many a dull moment. Ginny ' s ability to accomplish much in little time is the envy of all her classmates. Her capacity for management, exemplified in her work in the college store, makes us confident that come what may, Virginia will be ready. Go to it, Ginny; we are expecting the best.

A gay smile and a warm generosity — Norma has charmingly worked her way into our hearts. We glance back to Freshman days and hear her merriest anecdote spreading around the long lunchroom table. Her laughter was all her own, but we could not help laughing with her. We enjoyed her lively wit as much as we admired her poise, her perfect grooming, and her talent for commenting on the latest fashions. Norma believes that each day is a new beginning which she can face with enthusiasm. A willing helper and a bonny companion, Norma holds a high place in our happiest memories of college days.

But we must dedicate ourselves to peace, What others have destroyed again restore, Bring back the quiet ways, the gentle grace, The deep serenity of life once more. And we must face the future with new strength, Must rise above the heritage of hate, Our service pledged to those whose task will be Old fears to banish, and new hopes create. Inculcate charity, and reverence deep For Truth — from which alone comes Liberty — And firm reliance on our Heavenly Father, Whose power controls all human destiny. We ' ll find sometimes our labors mocked and spurned, And Youth will turn in ignorance and pride, Unheeding from the counsel we would give, Reluct ant still to climb where we would guide. Yet we must meet with courage undismayed. The dull defeat, the doubtful victory, And steadfastly press toward our distant goal, Untiring, eager, from self-seeking free. Virginia L. M. O ' Brien {66 d 7 FOUNDATIONS OF THE FUTURE ate ( tea In the dark hours of this day — and through the dark days that may be yet to come — we will know that the vast majority of the members of the human race are on our side. Many of them are fighting with us. All of them are praying for us. For, in representing our cause, We represent theirs as well — our hope and their hope for liberty under God. These words from President Roosevelt ' s address of last December are a clarion call of hope to us all. We, the people of the United States, cherish in our hearts the prayer for liberty under God. The old civilizations from feudal times are histories of class discrimination — the great masses subjugated to the will of a privileged minority. Although the revolutions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries weakened the rule of autocracy, yet never in modern times have men been so regimented to the will of tyranny as they are today on the continent of Europe. They are robbed of all personal rights; they are crushed under the cruel weight of oppression. They do not know, many of them have never known, the joys of freedom and equality, which to us are like the air we breathe. Our nation was founded on the ideal of liberty; it was dedicated, not to the old tradition of the divine right of kings, but to a noble vision of the divine right of man — a vision that made possible our democracy. We live under a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Today, people ' s rights are threatened by ruthless impression of the doctrines of the so-called New Order. Unchecked, the activities of the dictators will make of us, too, a lost people. They would subdue us by their reign of terror; they would subvert to their own ends our abilities and ambitions. But we will fight them, spirit, bone, and sinew! We will conquer! We will not only make the world safe for democracy, but our democracy will make the world safe for human life and human happiness. God grant that out of this present terrible conflict there may rise a better, nobler world for all. The tremendous task of reconstruction, of restoring to the conquered peoples their birthright, faces us, the American people. Upon what shall we build? President Roosevelt has named for us our Peace Aims, — the foundation upon which the future may be made secure, the four freedoms that must pre- vail everywhere in the world, — freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Freedom of speech and expression is the bulwark, the outer defense of liberty; it is the means by which the people protect their rights, attack injustice, and check activities endangering national safety. Through the press the power of radical minorities may be destroyed, their propaganda torn to shreds. Here in America national problems are freely discussed, not only in the newspapers, but at public assemblies, from pulpit and platform, in our classrooms, over our radio networks. When freedom of speech is forbidden, as in the dictator-con- trolled countires, Man, body and soul, becomes the slave of the government. The state is absolute. It even invades the home and assumes complete control of the children. To raise a voice in protest means imprisonment or death. Let us strive that the great democratic principle of freedom of speech and expression may prevail everywhere in the world. The second freedom is the freedom to worship God according to th dictates of one ' s conscience. Our Constitution guarantees this right to every {67} American. A people to be truly great must be a religious people with respect for the dignity of the human soul. How can any nation that denies God and deifies the State, hope to prosper or even to survive! Throughout the centuries men have died for their religious principles. They surely have not died in vain. The misguided nations must be helped to regain high spiritual ideals, and each individual must be strengthened in his faith in a God of love and justice. This war is a struggle between light and darkness. The peace that follows must give to everyone freedom of worship. Freedom from want President Roosevelt interprets to mean economic understandings which will secure for every nation a healthful peacetime life for all its inhabitants. The first step toward this end must be the abolition of dire poverty, that poverty in which people have not the bare essentials of life, — adequate food and shelter. A wise and just distribution of the world ' s resources will supply to every individual these basic needs. People struggling for mere existence cannot contribute largely to progress. There must be a fair division of labor and industry, so that equality of opportunity may be secured for everyone. When the underprivileged have become self-respecting, self-providing citizens, when the slums have been replaced by decent, comfortable homes, then men will be ready to receive the benefits of education and culture. We have enjoyed a far higher standard of living than have peoples anywhere else in the world. Moreover, we have had unsurpassed opportunities to develop our talents. Schools, universities, libraries have opened to us the advantages ot cultural and scientific achievement. Illiteracy and ignorance are bars to progress. Can we help weaker nations to develop their human talents as well as their natural resources? Can we help to establish just economic relations among nations? A generous sharing of economic opportunity and of social and cultural privilege must surely develop a higher standard of living and a happier peacetime life for everyone — everywhere in the world. To establish the fourth freedom, freedom from fear, our President says that we must secure a world-wide reduction of armament, so that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor. In these days fear is rampant. The policies of the dictators are based on fear. Their totalitarian methods have spread fear within their own countries, and their aggressions have resulted in the absolute intimidation of the conquered countries. Neighbor fears neighbor; a careless word may mean a concentration camp. And fear is in the hearts of little children, — children with blank, unsmiling faces, who have been robbed of their birthright, a happy childhood. Only universal dis- armament will protect nations from the fear of aggression. The task of rehabilitating and re-establishing the nations that have been forced to blind obedience to the will of dictators will be difficult. These peoples must learn to do their own thinking and make their own decisions. They will need all the guidance and help we can give them to develop governments on the democratic ideal of the four freedoms. Our ancestors had the courage to set up these freedoms for all American generations. Surely we shall have the strength to build on their foundations. We shall extend their work by helping other peoples to develop a free national life. Then we shall again hear the Angelus sounding over French fields, the evening chimes echoing over Alpine villages. On the war fronts our boys work valiantly. They stay by their guns, their ships, their planes. They die in a great cause. To us they leave the sacred trust to fight the good fight, to keep the faith. We must dream their dreams and realize their vision. To us belongs the future which they have consecrated so well. If we can achieve a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations, then our honored dead shall not have died in vain. Kathleen M.

Herlihy {Words and Music) Oo} cr W K ytati H Today we are gathered here to celebrate the traditionally happy Class Day, and to carry out the age old custom of planting the ivy, — the ivy which in its growth and upward climbing is a living symbol of student life. But tomorrow will be another day! To each of us Life seems to be asking, in the words of John Oxenham, Where are you going, Great-Heart, With your eager face and your fiery grace? Where are you going, Great-Heart? We, the graduates of the year 1942, must indeed ask ourselves, Where are we going? Not certainly into the happy, peaceful world of yesterday, but into a sorrowful world, where War, merciless and terrible, has laid its cruel hand upon each of us. What will be our part in the difficult days ahead? We have had the ad- vantage of a college education. Surely our training should give us the ability to see things clearly; not to be swayed by rumors, but to form judgments and make decisions wisely. Moreover, we are young, with all the fine qualities of youth: — courage to face problems, strength to overcome obstacles, vigor to persevere although the way be hard, ambition to achieve ideals, and proud confidence which says, So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, ' Thou must, ' The youth replies, ' I can. ' In our sociology classes we have stressed the great virtue of tolerance. Youth is apt to be intolerant, but we must learn not only to honor the noble qualities in our fellow men, but to sympathize with human weakness, and to understand the inherent value of peoples of varied ancestry and culture. It will be for us of this generation to undertake the rebuilding of a world of harmony. Our country has been divinely inspired, and in the hour of need great leaders have always arisen. The past gave us Washington and Lincoln; today we are acclaiming Roosevelt and MacArthur. But what can great leaders accomplish without devoted, intelligent followers? Followership, no less than leadership, demands honor and ability. It calls for loyalty to ideals and a judicial study of critical problems. The good follower is one who recognizes the right and has the strong moral fiber to do it. To a small degree we all shall be called upon for leadership, either as teachers in the classroom or as mothers in the home; but as citizens we shall more often follow than lead. The greatness of a country lies, primarily, in the strength of its citizenry, and a strong citizenry must be intelligent no less than loyal. Professor Odell Shepard at the conference for Civilian Defense em- phasized the need to train our citizens to be clearsighted as well as devoted followers. In our country the citizen has a great responsibility, because he places in office leaders who exercise wide powers. It is the obligation of each one of us to vote with honesty and wisdom for those men who, we believe, will be best able to understand conditions and bring reparation to a broken and disorganized world. As teachers we shall have an extra responsibility, — that of transmitting our heritage to the next generation and of teaching our pupils the importance not only of good leadership but also of good followership. Let us today pledge ourselves to do our duty faithfully. Then as we face the future, Life will say to each one of us, God goeth with you, Great-Heart! Frances K. Brown {71} K uttuatJL z ona OUR DAISY CHAIN Our daisy chain brings back again Mem ' ries of college days. For knowledge and truth, and all joys of youth, We ' ve hearts full of joy and of praise.

Vivienne Boudreau English (the wife of the well-known Major Eng- lish) was hardly aware that she had spoken the words alou d. She was sitting in her pleasant Chicago home, and she was in a reminiscent mood, for she held in her hand an invitation, just received, for the Silver Reunion of her T. C. Class, June, 1967! How time flies! Twenty-five years since Commencement Day! Impossible! Of course, she must go! Enclosed with the invitation was a program of the Reunion festivities to be held in the old, once-so-familiar Assembly Hall. A drama, The Class of 191 2, was to be presented. The script had been written by the noted playwright Kay Harrington Maxwell; the dances would be by the popular Ballerina Janet Gruene- wald Pavlowa and the songs by the famous prima-donna, Helen Herlihy Dragon- ette. The scenery, as in days of yore, had been painted by Sophie Kornetsky Gainsborough and Genevieve Harding Van Dyke, and of course Rita Morris De Mille would be stage director. She was introducing new omnicandescent flood lights, the recent invention of Dorothea Burton Edison. And wonder of won- ders! For the benefit of Class members who could not be in Boston for the Reunion, the drama could be heard and seen in a nation-wide Radio-Television hookup, arranged by the Baron-Brawley Company. No expense had been spared, as the reunion was being financed by the banking house of Pierpont Doyle and Morgan Fowles, Inc. Memories flooded in upon Vivienne, — her classmates, their varying per- sonalities, their clothes, their talents; some names almost forgotten were now coming back; then the professors, lectures, classes, exams, practice teaching; yes, and parties, dances, plays, teas. All so long ago! The twilight over Lake Michigan faded into the sunset of yesterday; Orpheus (or was it Morpheus?) sounded the sweet notes of his lyre, and Vivienne was in Dreamland where Past becomes Present. History, whom she had evoked, stood before her and unrolled the annals of the Class of ' 42. Joyously on September 11, 1938 we entered the portals of T. C, fifty-one eager, enthusiastic, unsuspecting Freshmen, — regular Innocents Abroad! We were vicariously famous, since Rumor said that we were to be the last class; but soon we became actually famous when our Intelligence Tests proved our brains to be all our fancy had painted them — and some more. Class elections gave us Ruth Hambelton for our first president; Frances Brown, vice-president; Margaret Kerrigan, secretary; and Kathleen Harrington, treasurer. Carefree we were — but not for long! Almost immediately the storm waves oiFraser and Armentrout and Hayes and Moon began to disturb the calm waters of our blissful voyage; and Grammar darkened the horizon with threatening clouds. Soon we were out like head-hunters for copy for our (very) original biographies. No one was spared — parents or grandparents, friend or foe, the old or the young. Poor relations offered a particularly fert ile field for material, — realistic, imaginative, romantic. {75} The pauses in the year ' s occupations were very welcome. The Self- Government Prom came just in time to brighten our discouraged spirits, and shortly after we made merry in ribbons and flounces at the Thanksgiving Festival. Walt Disney came to our assistance at the Christmas Party, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in puppet-show gave us laughs a-plenty. There were dancing dolls and fair maids all in a row, a giant giraffe, a polar bear, the cat and the fiddle, and Donald Duck. Best of all, Santa and Santason graced the oc- casion. We humble Freshmen got our share of applause when, having donned our gay red and green aprons, we brought in the refreshments. Giant Despair overcame us in Freshman Week with never-to-be-forgotten ignominy, the horror of pigtails, white stockings, and flat heels. Did I say horror? I mean it. A one-week nightmare, — harder, we hope, on its perpetrators than on its victims. On returning from the Christmas holidays, we found our scholastic trail leading up Hills of Trial and Mountains of Difficulty, with semester exams and report cards at the summit. There was comic relief, however, in the plays excellently presented by the Drama Club and the fine production of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Patience by the Music Club. Were you a bold Dragoon or a love-sick maiden ? Or did you paint the scenery, splashing at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comet ' s hair ? — to quote Kipling. In the geography class we became jig-saw puzzle experts as we tried out the flotation theory of continents. Nor was the inner man forgotten; witness our Class Supper at the Food Craft Shop. How impressed we Freshmen were by the Class Day and the Commencement exercises! And the year ended gloriously with — yes, you remember, our first Prom! A starlit night, the rustle of summer breezes, the Belmont Country Club ablaze with lights, and Marching along together Every Freshman — side by side! Mix well its work and its play, say abra-ca-dabra three times, and you have our Freshman year, which proved what the authorities say, Education should be as the sunrise, perceptible not in its progress but in its results. In September, 1939 we entered triumphantly and with zest into Sopho- moredom (or dumb), with a new set of class officers holding the reins of govern- ment, — Virginia Bolger, Barbara Brawley, Anne Sternberg, and Anne Doyle. The year began with only one fly (a large one, however,) in the ointment of our bliss. No Freshman Class was admitted. It was against the traditional rights of Sophomores to be denied their victims! Awful thought! — perhaps the faculty would forget and continue to look upon us as Freshmen. But there was little time to reflect on our wrongs, what with the mysteries of biology to be elucidated, the glories of art and music to be appreciated, the depths of psychology to be explored, to say nothing of a thousand-and-one pages of Manly to be read as each night ' s assignment in English Lit. Needless to remark, we enjoyed our well-earned Christmas holidays, but we returned to college only to face mid-year exams. These safely over, comic relief again calmed our shattered nerves. This time it was The Dollies Follies, a product of our marvelous and varied Sophomore genius, in which everyone 76} was a star performer. That one-night stand netted us a thousand-and-one laughs, experience of many kinds, and a sizable addition to our treasury. Of course, we all remember the morning when the Five Guinea Pigs (the Sophomore Music Majors) took the Seashore test! Then more cramming, oral reports, frogology, and suddenly it was June and daisy time. Commence- ment Day came and went, and we found ourselves promoted to the proud dignity of Juniors. In September, 1940 our Class came to a parting of the ways, for we chose, according to the law of greatest common interest, our special field of teaching. Old friends were separated as we started down varied paths to the Hall of Fame, a new group of class officers leading the way, — Barbara Brawley, Edith Filene, Rose Montanari, and Anne Cowley. There was excited discussion of majors and minors, of Remedial Reading, of Reisner and Inglis, and of math problems the solutions to which were as dif- ficult to find as the needle in the haystack. After long hours of study on home assignments, we sometimes came into class only to find that Ignorance is not bliss. The slogan seemed to be — Study-Study-More Study! But we managed to survive with strength enough to enjoy a party or two, and a Christmas spread that will long be remembered. Soon we found ourselves facing our traditional enemy, Mid-years. But we came, we saw, we conquered, — our report cards will attest this fact to any doubting Thomases. Dr. Kennedy ' s interesting talks at the Monday assemblies kept us abreast of the times, explaining not only the causes of present-day con- ditions but also the constant changes in world affairs. The social high-light of the year was Junior Week. Beginning with a tiny spark of suggestion, it blazed forth in a grand illumination. The celebration began with a flying start at the Shubert and a happy landing at 00 Hereford Street, — in other words, a theater party and a dinner dance. Who would have believed that the charming and graceful dancers at the Fox and Hounds were the gawky Freshmen of two years earlier? Our operatic production, The Maids of Hearts, gave us a class hero, Knave-of-hearts Shedrick, — not to mention his ladylove, Helen Herlihy, Chloe, the Flora-Dora girls, and the three little fishies. In June as we once again watched the seniors file in procession across the stage to receive their degrees, we realized that now we had at last reached the proud dignity of cap and gown — which carries with it many obligations — not the least, that of keeping the mortar-board gracefully balanced on one ' s head. With September, 1941, came the Donning, — the formal ceremony of in- vestiture in academic costume. How proud we were! Almost immediately one half of the Seniors left Alma Mater to try their fortunes on the other side of the desk. Who among us can adequately describe her mingled fear and exultation as she stood before her class for the first time, and requested the pupils to open their books and to take out their home assign- ments? We found our practice teaching interesting and thoroughly enjoyable; then, if ever, were perfect days, omitting perhaps little items like marking visits. Meanwhile the students who spent the first semester at Teachers College were being entertained by Messrs. Bogardus and Charters. Education Week was {77 } observed with formal dignity, and on Parents ' Day we had the pleasure of wel- coming our fathers and mothers to the College. On Hallowe ' en we made merry at the Record-Hop, and Christmas week was ushered in by a bountiful St. Nicho- las spread. The last Assembly of the year was celebrated in the established T. C. tradition — a Nativity Play, the singing of the carols, and the beautiful Christmas Tableau. We shall never forget the lovely vision of the Madonna and Child surrounded by angels and cherubs. The first of February saw the return to T. C. of the Seniors who had been out in the schools, and the going out of the other students to experience the joys and trials of a teacher ' s life. The last semester of our college career was a busy one; time was growing short and much had to be accomplished. There was all-night sessions with home assignments, — the mysteries of Educational Tests and Measurements had to be explored, English and American novels read, Adams ' Foreign Policy investigated, and sociological and economic problems weighed in the balance. Every day brought us nearer to the Boston exams and Finals! O Temporal O Mores! How soon we were in the midst of the exciting, last days! The first event on our calendar was the Alumni Banquet on May 21 which we might consider our initiation as full-fledged members of the teaching profession. Senior Week opened with the happy festivities of Class Day on June 6, when we welcomed our parents and friends, displayed our alents (also our new gowns), and carried the daisy chain to form triumphantly at the close our numerals, ' 42. Then followed the gracious hospitality of our teachers at the Faculty Reception, the picnic joys of the Outing, the feast of reason and the flow of soul that marked the Class Banquet, and the counsel and blessing of the Baccalaureate. The culmination of our college years came on June 11, Commencement Day, with all its sad, sweet joy. We, at last, were the candidates for degrees who filed so solemnly across the platform to receive the coveted sheepskin. Hail and Farewell to the Class of 1942! As History rolled up her parchment and turned to depart, Vivienne awoke. Reaching for the telephone she dialed the airport for a reservation on the Boston plane. Of course, she must go to the Reunion. Rita M. Morris. {78} Cu lite We, the Class of 1942, being without mindfulness, do solemnly swear by a Cap and Gown (now discarded) that this is our last will and testament. After payment of our dues and I.

To Miss Wadsworth: To insure golden silence: sound-proofed, pliofilm muzzles for each seeker of knowledge (?) entering the sanctum of recorded and unrecorded thoughts. To Miss Given: A magic pen which automatically will make for every student the perfect program, — five days of late beginnings and early closings.

To Mr. Read: A salaam-er, who will dutifully bow his head a thousand times a day at the threshold of the library, to relieve Mr. Read from the necessity of recommending to his classes such obeisance. To Dr. Gerry: The wish of his heart — a truly perfect test. To Dr. Regan: An automatic paper-filer, book-collector, test-corrector, plant- waterer, and self-adjusting bulletin board.

But suddenly she saw, as in a dream, Empires that peace would build, Where church bells sweetly rang, And Philomel in the splendid majesty of evening sang. Then Youth prayed thus to Life, — her heart with ardor filled. Life, I ask many gifts. Oh, strengthen me to share In thy great work. Show me thy nobler aims, the pathway shining clear. I seek not easy spoils Nor speedy victory; At thy bright flaming forge, how gladly will I serve thee! The first gift I ask of thee, Life, is to share in thy toils. A child ' s pure soul thou canst entrust unto my willing hands. Oh, grant me steadfast faith and grace to lead wisely! Bless all my plans; And proud of my service high, Let me grow ever stronger, Meet the years always young in heart as the evening shadows grow longer. This blessing I beg of thee, Life: Let me but try. And grant me power to implant thy fine ideals in children ' s souls, To waken lovely thoughts and noble aspirations for high goals, Where doubts and fears will die, And hope be born anew. Mine be the search for light to keep the upward path in view. Life, answer now my prayer. Life made reply: Thou hast pledged thyself to a great and sacred trust, The way will be hard, the road be long, But God will send thee courage to press on, His grace will keep thee valiant, faithful, strong.

The Welfare Club, composed of both the faculty and the student body, is truly an all-college club. As its name implies, it is concerned wholly with tht needs of the children in the Boston Public Schools. Under the direction of the officers, the faculty adviser, the group leaders, and the section aids, the work of the club is carried on with the generous financial support of the entire college. A special fund each year provides milk, eye-glasses, and clothing for children in want. Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas toys and books bring holiday cheer to the children of the City Hospital, of the orphanages, and of the settlement houses where our students give voluntary service in conducting classes for various groups. Our charitable work, financed by such means as the operation of a candy counter, the collection of tinfoil, and the sale of ink, includes contributions to the Junior Red Cross, the Infantile Paralysis Fund, the Community Fund, the Floating Hospital, the Prendergast Preventorium Summer Camp, and other worthy causes. Active cooperation of all members makes possible the practical application of the motto, Education for Service; Service for Education. {86} c 4 tt lnb VERA LAURETANI President JOSEPHINE SPADAZZI Vice-President LUCY BRAWLEY Secretary-Treasurer MR. SHEA Faculty Adviser Art is man ' s nature; Nature is God ' s art. Our Art Club is one of the indispensable organizations of the College. In its work as one of the Cooperative Arts Group, the Club plans the scenery, costumes, and lighting effects for the Drama and Music Club productions, ar- ranges the decorations for dances and parties, and makes posters for various College events. The busy Christmas season brings the annual sale of hand- blocked Christmas greeting cards, attractively designed and printed by members of the Club. Yuletide activities are also marked by the presentation of the ever- inspiring Nativity Tableau. The aim of the Club is the development of artistic ability through a varied and interesting program, which offers opportunity for all students interested in creative work. {88} z 4 tkletic 4 ciati MARGARET KAINE .

Each meeting of the Classical Club, from the picnic held in September to the banquet in May, was a most enjoyable occasion. Many graduates con- tinue their active membership in the Classical Club and so add greatly to its social success. Some of the meetings were in the form of supper parties at which interesting guest speakers talked to the Club. At another meeting we enjoyed the humor of the Ancients by reading selected poems and essays, and by playing games. The Ides of March were duly celebrated at our March meeting. The year ' s activities were successfully climaxed by the annual banquet in May at which there was a very large attendance, proving that interest in the classics is still very much alive. {90} K Qwinie ' zcia MARY FOX President ISABEL SMART Vice-President DOROTHY CARROLL Secretary MILDRED BARON Treasurer DR. REGAN, MR. BITZER Faculty Advisers In books, or work, or healthful play, Let my first years be passed, That I may give tor every day, Some good account at last. The Commercial Club, now in its eighth year, fulfills its primary purpose of presenting professional information and attitudes and of fostering friendship among those girls interested in preparation for the business world. In the fall we became acquainted with the business experiences of former members of the Club. Present members were also given opportunities to relate their experiences in summer work. The Christmas meeting was devoted to a discussion of the extent and importance of Christmas business in this country. Field visits to the Western Union Company and to a Dictaphone Company in Boston allowed us to see and use some of the latest commercial machines. As in the past, the final meeting brought together all members of the Club in a reunion held in conjunc- tion with the Alumni Dinner. •{91 K liib ( ut ' ceut cunce K lita DOROTHEA BURTON AGNES VVESTWATER ELLEN AHEARN . PATRICIA SULLIVAN MISS AMMIDOWN Presiden I Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Science, like virtue, is its own greatest reward. The interests of the Current Science Club include experiments in photo- graphy, the making of aquaria, and the collecting of ferns and mosses. Meetings take the form of demonstrations, field trips, and lectures. This year, the Club visited Mr. Lamprey ' s estate in Sudbury, where an outdoor supper was the de- lightful prelude to an informal study of astronomy. Other features of the year have been the week-end spent at Antrim, New Hampshire, and the annual Christ- mas sale of attractive dish-gardens and baskets. As attendance at the club meet- ings is open to all students of the College, many non-members have found in the Current Science Club a source of useful information and ot delightful social hours. 92 c= JJ) , canta K luv MARY DOWD President ANNE COWLEY First Vice-President ROSALEEN TIMMS Second Vice-President MARIE HALLAHAN Secretary MARGARET OWEN Treasurer MISS CLARK, MISS GAFFEY Faculty Advisers The play ' s the thing! The work of the Drama Club has done much to further the interest of students in the theatre. Group attendance at plays of the legitimate stage has been followed by the production of plays at meetings of the club. These plays, often written as well as produced and acted by club members, have given oppor- tunities for the development of initiative and latent talent. The Harvest Fes- tival with its revival of square dances, rustic costumes, and melodrama was the opening feature of the year, and activities were brought to a climax in the annual Nativity Play, an outstanding example of the excellent workmanship of the Drama Club. ■{93 } J—c K Czcle c= i taucai SARAH RUBINOVITZ President BARBARA WERNICK . .• .

Among the highlights were the production of The Second Shepherds ' Play at Christmas, an evening meeting in February, Mr. Dole ' s presentation of recordings of masterpieces of verse, and Miss Lucille Harrington ' s stimulating lecture on Dante and The Divine Comedy. The annual luncheon and literary pilgrimage took us to historic Cambridge. {95} _y 1 latkewtatic c aciet • i RUTH KROCK .... MARGARET MORANVILLE . GENEVIEVE HARDING HELEN McCORMACK .

The Mathematics Society consists of undergraduate and graduate students and of teachers in service. Through well-known lecturers who are invited to ad- dress the group during the year, the relation of the abstract to the concrete in mathematics is clearly shown. The teachers in service benefit their fellow-mem- bers by reporting upon the difficulties encountered in classroom work and the solutions they have found to be effective. The year of worthwhile activity was brought to a close by the annual banquet of the Club. -{96} y 1 lane K litb mildred McCarthy virginia tobin ruth carroll . doroth ea corumbeau miss brick . . President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts — as the one which, more than any other, ministers to human welfare. The Music Club is the chief source of musical appreciation of all the stu- dents during their college years. The members of the Club have been given many opportunities, through personal participation, to develop their musical talents and their appreciation of music. The Music Club, throughout our college years, has added much to the enjoyment of special Assemblies. The traditional choral procession, together with incidental music during the Nativity Play, greatly enriched the Christmas Pageant. Each year the Music Club participates in the Commencement exercises, bringing to a dignified climax the year ' s ac- tivities. {97} 1 1 ken Ljau and cz 1 1 ete Ljautta J-kc =zy ' ce£kwi ivL la ELIZABETH PAGET President mary Mclaughlin .

VIRGINIA BOLGER Bags and keys and car-checks and such To Ginny Bolger never meant much, But one thing would cause her complete chagrin, And that would be to forget her frat pin. BARBARA BRAWLEY Barbara is quiet, And Barbara is shy, But Barbara has a merry Twinkle in her eye. FRANCES BROWN Sitting on the platform, Or presiding at a Tea, Frannie is the model Of what Madam President should be. DOROTHEA BURTON Flames and fires and odors and fumes, Came from out the third-floor rooms, For Dottie was hard at work you see, And her interest was burning, we all agree. HELEN COLE When posing as a lighthouse, Helen was supreme, It was real acting, She even had its beam. K 102 ANNE COWLEY If you like to watch dancing, Just look at Anne; Can she do modern dances? Why she certainly can. ANNE DOYLE Any unexpected visit Made us want to run and hide, But Anne just calmly Took it in her stride.

I hear on the staircase above me The clamor of hurried feet, The sound of a Freshman ' s giggle And Seniors ' voices sweet. In the classroom there float all around me Boastings of lessons all done, Tales of writing and cramming. Complaints of the late-rising sun. A hush comes over the students, For the class is about to start — Last minute looks at the textbook, At the pages learned by heart. Down on the floor go the Freshmen To practice the art of first aid, While others sit quietly wondering Why punctuation was made. The Sophs are in quite a quand ' ry, They ' re wondering just where to begin, They have pages and pages of Manly — And amoebas to watch as they swim. From the doorway I see puzzled Juniors Drawing a map of the world — While farther along the hallway Words from Thorndike and Dewey are hurled. At last I spy busy Seniors In caps and in gowns so neat, They are making friends with Snedden On teaching a gymnastic feat. Do you think they still will remember When their college days are through The long hours they spent in study To make their dreams come true? Edith L.
