EX- LIBRIS Zke i m m ' 1 pampas The Teachers College of the City of Boston Class of 1945 m e, the Class of 1945, have the honor and pleasure of dedicating our Lampas to Miss McDonnell. Some of us were so fortunate as to receive our earlier education under her guidance. Her service in the Boston Public Schools as teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent has been marked by professional zeal, a wise understanding of educa- tional problems, generous sympathy, and gracious charm. The warm friendship she has extended to us, the high ideals she exempHfies, will always be a source of inspiration. We are grateful for her kind encouragement in our preparation for teaching. May we prove worthy of her trust! ' Dedication MISS KATHARINE CECILIA McDONNELL Assistant Superintendent Boston Public Schools ' Mount high as on the wings of an eagle- Soar itpward to lofty heights. And now the future for us waits Beyond the opening college gates. ' Prologue ' ' Book of Beginnings, Story without End! ' ' Regretfully we bid farewell to the comrades and the joys of our college days. Our Lampas will always be a treasured volume, for be- tween its covers live the records of four happy and fruitful years. It is our magic key to yesteryear. We have but to turn these friendly pages to unlock sweet memories of the past and to live again the en- chanted days of our Youth. Zo the Class of 1945 Your class is a noteworthy one in the history of our college. After a lapse of two years we once again send forth a group of young women to teach in the schools of our city. Your devotion to your work here, your thoughtful spirit, your loyalty, and your co-operation have proved that you will carry on the same high type of service to our city and to the children of our citizens that has al- ways been characteristic of our graduates. May God prosper you in your work! Message from Dr. William Henry Joseph Kennedy Our President Our College : ■«:« '  t  i ' ' ' ' ■ !

Your high ideals, your broad tolerance, and your neverfailing interest in us, your students, have given us a strong and earnest desire to be a like source ot inspiration to our futvire pupils. Throughout our college years, you have shown us the meaning of an enlightened, democratic way of life. May your example live always in our hearts! MmimstratioH Zo Dr. Kennedy No greater praise can be given anyone than to say that his words are a never-faihng inspiration. Graduating into a war-torn world, we are keenly aware of how heavy our responsibilities will be. With a sympathetic spirit and a firm courage, Dr. Kennedy inspired in our hearts a sense of confidence to overcome fear and uncertainty. Unstintingly he gave ot his time to acquaint us with current events and present-day problems. Not only tor his kindness and under- standing but for his fine attitude towards hfe ' s problems, we extend our sincere gratitude. He has given us the torch of ideals; let us carry it forward to enlighten our future. Our Preside ft t PRESIDENT KENNEDY MISS MARGARET MARY SALLAWAY To Miss Sallaway we express our appreciation of the interest she has shown in all of us. Her patience and sympathy, her unfailing co-operation, have made our path smoother during our college years. {22 LEONARD OSCAR PACKARD Author, Scholar, Gentleman Whose teaching makes learning a pleasure; whose presence lends dignity to any occasion; whose unfailing courtesy, friendly humor, and gracious consideration give him a pre-eminent place in the hearts of all who know him. He is a magician, who re- veals what lies beyond far horizons, and proves that the most distant nations are our neighbors. {23} MISS GRACE SOPHIA MANSFIELD Her heart was in her work, And the heart givelh grace to every art. We shall remember Miss Mansfield for her cordial manner, her sincere interest in her work, and her sympathetic helpfulness. She shared with us her genuine love for her profession, and we found in her not only an inspiring teacher but a loyal friend. •{24} MISS HELEN AGNES BRICK ' ' Lei me go where ' er I will I hear a sky-borne tnusic slilt. The Class of 1945 pays tribute to an inspiring teacher and a gracious lady — Miss Brick of the Music Department. Her students will remember with affection and respect her able leadership and her power to awaken in them some of her own love for music. {25 College miy5 CPlRnEV miJ5 CLARK- miJ5 CLARK mixj DICKJOn faculty mR.

Because of their sacrifices and devotion we have enjoyed the advantages of a college education. We can never repay them for their constant interest in our welfare and their never-failing kindness. Words can hardly express our message of gratitude to them. May our lives testify that we value all that they have done for us, and may our future achieve- ments be a realization of their most ardent hopes! Class Officers Mary R. McLaughlin . Josephine V. Spadazzi Catherine L. McCauley Barbara Jackson President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer We are proud of our Senior Class officers. Through th.eir efficient efforts, our class, although divided for practice-teaching, remained united in spirit and in its interest in all college activities. Despite war-time restrictions, they planned and carried out a valuable and varied program of events, most creditable to our class and college. Under their able leadership, our companionship grew richer and closer, and our senior year became memorable. To them, and .to our officers of other years, a unanimous vote of thanks and congratulation. Ol} Rhoda Blacker ' ' With gentle yet prevailing force. Intent upon her destined course. ' Industry and perseverance are the outstanding qualities of Rhoda ' s character. Whether in psychology, English literature, or history, Rhoda pursued her task zealously and efficiently, until sense and logic emerged from a confusing sea of textbook pages. Besides attaining a high scholastic record, she is also an excellent pianist. How often we have paused to listen as the strains of Chopin ' s Minute Waltz drifted pleasantly through the corridors! In the hymn singing at Assembly, she proved her talent as an accom- panist. The children in her playground have benefited by her love of music, for she has taken pleasure in teaching them a wealth of songs.

Carmela is a firm believer that life is just a bowl of cherries. No moment during exam week was too dark, no prospects of a term paper too foreboding to dampen her irresistible humor. If we had an official Reliever-of-Tension, our vote would go to Carmela. A few amusing and apt words, and she has any situation well in hand. Shall we ever forget those lunchroom debates, and Car- mela proving her point with the tingling enthusiasm which char- acterizes everything she does? One of her enviable accomplish- ments is a perfect French accent; another is the ability to make an elementary-school song sound like a serenade. Generous with her warm sympathy and sparkling wit, Carmela is the spice of our class. She flavors everything. Secondary School: Jeremiah E.

Lucy is a living model of the cherubs her talented fingers love to sketch. She is fair-haired, blue-eyed, and dimpled. A member of our talented artistic trio, — the other two, of course, being Vera and Jo, — Lucy has a delightful flair for impish cartooning. No ten-o ' clock scholar is she; would that her unfailing punctuality were contagious! With unobtrusive efficiency Lucy has been responsible for the success of many of our class enterprises; she can fill a Wel- fare Club Christmas stocking with one hand, and with the other, design greeting cards for our Art Club sale. Lucy is a tiny person with a great big heart!

Rose ' s ability in public speaking has made her a popular choice for our Assembly programs. Her pleasing voice, her gracious manner, and her beautiful dark, flashing eyes contributed to her success and charm on the platform. She is an outstanding student, as her college record attests. We could always rely on Rose for unfailing good judgment and clear, decisive opinions. Her excel- lent French accent harmonizes well with the French chic of her appearance. Do you wonder that we chose Rose as our Class Day marshal.

The key to Clare ' s personality is a unique combination of serious- ness and sunshine. We always marveled at her perfect composure, — an excellent pattern for a college senior. Her supreme interest is mathematics. Her free time was always spent in the library, her blonde head deep in the mysteries of calculus. The success of our Junior Week was largely due to Clare ' s capable leadership as its chairman. She gave many hours to the planning of details, and making certain that Our Week should be one to live in the mind and heart of each member of the class. When Clare puts on her cap and gown on Commencement Day, she will have the satis- faction of knowing that she earned her degree by serious, earnest work.

We call her Ruthie, and we call ourselves lucky to have her for a friend. With a yellow ribbon in her hair she ' s the picture of youthful charm. Whenever we .heard peals of merry laughter and hurried footsteps, or saw brown curls flying, — that was Ruthie! Her glowing good looks awake envious sighs, for she has a lovely tanned complexion. Viking-blue eyes, and a friendly little-girl smile. Ruthie ' s the player you want on your team; she never misses a ball, and she excels in good sportsmanship. She enjoys a good joke, — most of all when it ' s on herself. Her serious, reflective nature, is hidden ' neath a sunny exterior. Ruthie ' s cute as a button, the personification of sweet girlhood.

Bright is the word for Dotty; bright brown eyes; quick, bright manner; and a keen, bright mind. Nothing in the annals of our college career has ever shattered Dorothea ' s calm confidence and cool poise. Have you a problem? See Dotty! Mistress of difficult problems, she ' ll have the correct solution at her finger-tips. It is not unusual to find a group of attentive listeners gathered around her, for Dotty, weaving a spell with her quiet flair for the dramatic, is unsurpassed as a raconteur. Four years ' acquaint- ance with Dotty has only increased our affection for her. Good luck to our clever classmate — our loyal comrade!

Our sweet and ever-pleasant Eleanor is a living contradiction of the traditional belief about the temperament of red-heads. Gently courteous and innately refined, she represents the highest type of college student. With quiet brilliancy, she grasped the essentials of each subject, and with scholarly diligence, applied them. The arduous task of making appointments with the Lampas photog- rapher to suit each and every fair Senior, Eleanor met with unruffled calm and cheerfulness. If the condition of our faithful old note- books were indications of our personalities, most of us would suffer by the comparison, but not Eleanor. Her beautifully type- written notes are objects of envy and admiration. Through four years of college joys and problems, Eleanor has been a classmate of whom to be proud.

With her delicate features and smooth, ivory complexion, Virginia is a living cameo. But here the resemblance to things romantic and old-fashioned ends, for she ' s completely practical and modern. Because she is endowed with the gift of clear thinking, her opinions are listened to and valued by her classmates. Ginny ' s charm lies in her casual manner and her complete originality. Her likes are as definite as her dislikes. She loves the song, Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life, but she can ' t abide In Memoriam — and we challenge any- one to change her mind. Her friends know how generous and affectionate Virginia is. Consider also her droll sense of humor, and you know why she is so delightful a companion.

She may be our smallest classmate, this wee colleen, but Mary fills a big place in our hearts. The only thing diminutive about her is her size; her achievements are great. President of our class in the Sophomore year, and President of the Self-Government Association in the Junior year, she was, on the highest heels she could find, not quite five feet of dignity and authority. Moreover, she can out-walk and out-work the tallest of us. She ' s generous, she ' s willing, she ' s loyal — she ' s a friend worth having and worth keeping. A natural choice for the part of Tiny Tim in the Christ- mas play, Mary, like Dickens ' immortal character, is as good as gold and better.

Have you a question which Charters doesn ' t answer? Are you unhappy because you aren ' t sure at what hour the Battle of Sedan started? Just ask Clara. She has at her command all the informa- tion in the history-books, as well as a broad understanding of current events. She is our living encyclopedia. What is more, she is always willing to share her knowledge graciously and tactfully. Clara is also a generous volunteer for all the not-too-pleasant tasks involved in conducting a class activity. Her dryly witty remarks make the hardest task easy and even enjoyable.

Small of stature but magnanimous of heart, she has lent her ever-willing assistance to many a success- ful class activity. Glance into the typing room during almost any free hour, and you will surely find Janie, her big sunny-brown eyes intent on the copy, and her nimble fingers racing over the key- board. How she can make those keys fly! Our class Eleanor Powell, Janie with her gay sparkling charm has danced her way into our hearts.

Lee just loves life! Her capacity for joyous living is the key to her stimulating personality-. Expressive eyes, glowing with enthusiasm, and a generous eager smile accompany her favorite expression, — Oh, won-der-ful! Always ready with merry anecdotes, she relates them with such gusto and glee, that even her eyebrows talk! An enthusiastic supporter of all class activities, she enjoys the various events with the whole-hearted zest and frank pleasure that make her such a delightful addition to any gathering. Sensi- tive, even to the hidden feelings of others, Lee is a warm, a sympa- thetic, a loyal friend. Her greatest love is for children, and her sincere interest in their welfare gives promise of success in the teaching profession. No wonder we love Lee!

And true she is, as she hath proved herself. Not until you have seen her in action do you really know Mar- guerite. She is one of our outstanding athletes. In the Gym she flashes like quick-silver; her nimble feet seem to fly. If there is an athletic argument to settle, she can always cite accurately the rules and regulations of the various games. Throughout her college years Marguerite has given excellent service in the Welfare Club as a faithful and efficient Settlement House worker. Her interest in social work was evidenced also in Girl Scout activities. This experience with children will be valuable to Marguerite in her teaching career. Secondary School: Jeremiah E.

That you alone are voii? Dark brown hair, bright blue eyes, and an attractive giggle describe our fun-loving Virginia ' . Her enthusiasm, her artistic talent, and her love of the drama made Virginia greatly in demand whenever a play was being staged or a poster was needed. At Christmas time her unaffected, inspiring portrayal of the young shepherd in The Second Shepherds ' Play won general acclaim. We shall long remem- ber Virginia ' s pleasant soprano voice sounding from the Assembly Hall, where the T. C. quartet serenaded us daily at lunch time. Her untiring energy, sympathetic interest in all class undertakings, and bubbling enthusiasm brightened many a college day and created happy memories for us.

' Whenever we needed a committee member who could be depended upon to get results, we always appointed Barbara. A loyal supporter of all our college activities, she was ever ready to volunteer her services and to work tirelessly for the success of the enterprise. In her friendships she is staunch and steadfast, and her sincere and generous nature has made her one of our most popular students. You may be sure of sympathetic understanding and helpful advice if you confide your troubles to Barbara. Busy as the proverbial bee, she still finds time for many club activities, and she hopes some day to satisfy her longing to travel.

Edythe is one of our most versatile classmates. A lover of the drama, she entertained us as Violetta in The Knave of Hearts and as Mildred in Mildred Is My Name, — roles just suited to her talents. In the gymnasium she is the unchallenged queen of sports. IVIusic is another special interest that Edythe enjoys. Her sweet soprano voice never fails to cheer us; and her one set of chords guaranteed to fit any song, indicates a rare musical ingenuity. Edythe ' s vivacity and exuberance are utterly delightful. Her joyous nature and good sportsmanship give promise of a happy and successful career.

Cropped curh ' hair, alive brown e) ' es, and a sense ot humor im- mediately identity Estelle. With an ear a lways attuned to catch a particularly good bit of humor, Estelle has a bountiful supply of stories from which she draws at every opportunity. Her warm friendly spirit pervades any group of which she is a part. The memory of Estelle leading our May-pole dance in our Freshman year will always remain with us. Interested in music (she plays the piano beautifully), sports, and rare books, Estelle made these in- terests attractive to others also. Her clever informal poetry, which we heard at many college gatherings, suggests to us that we have a budding Dorothy Parker in our class. We all say, More power to you, Estelle!

May I help? Glance around and there ' s Vee. Her co-opera- tive spirit, her originality, and her artistic talents have been manifested in the many colorful posters that have brightened the corridors of our College. It ' s difficult to picture our blonde lovely Vera tramping through damp woods with other bird lovers braving the elements, but that is the way she spends many a week-end. Vera ' s interests are art, music, and literature; yet she can oftentimes be found cheering lustily at a hockey game. Her sympathy and her deep sense of responsibility gain for her our vote as the girl we ' d most like to have for a friend. Hers is not an effusive per- sonality, but she radiates a sweet charm, the memory of which we shall treasure. .

Time flies. Gradually girls begin to drift away. Homework, you know. But Evelyn can stay a little longer for the gods were kind to her.

With her bright, gay spirit is combined great capability. Interested in her studies, she accomplishes her academic work with lightning quickness and intelligence. Detective stories, knitting, and sports are hobbies she indulges in with equal energy and interest. Doris is our ideal of the all-American girl. Secondary School: Jeremiah E.

Take a wee bit of shyness and an infinite amount ot warmth, add a dash of mischievous gaiety and a generous helping of stead- fast diligence, flavor well with Stardust, and what have you? Why, Barbara, of course, and this combination of qualities explains her charm. There is magic in her slender fingers; she ' s the girl behind the brush that paints such arresting posters. When you least ex- pect it, Barbara will tickle your funny-bone with a delightfully droll remark, and if you can think up a clever answer, she ' ll be a most appreciative audience! She always gave her classmates that you ' re-such-a-nice-person-to-have-around feeling. Remember?

OS}- Catherine Louise McCauley Serene will be our Jays and bright And happy will our nature he. Scottish wit and dignified reserve unite in Catherine ' s pleasing personality. To those- who were fortunate enough to know her well, Catherine meant a loyal friend. Whenever a stencil had to be typed for lessons at the Model School, (and how well we remem- ber the anxieties we suffered), a call would go up for Catherine. We shall always picture her in Miss Regan ' s room typing with a rapidity which never failed to draw Ohs! and Ahs! from an admiring group. Soon everyone would be laughing heartily at something she had said. How she managed to keep a perfectly serious face we never found out! We did find, though, that Cath- erine liked music, history, and secretarial work; but, most im- portant of all, we found that we liked Catherine!

Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill. Thanks to our shy, soft-spoken President tor a delightful Senior Year! Would you ever guess from her Irish blue eyes, those few golden freckles, and that tilt to her nose, — not to mention her name, — that Mary was born in Chile, South America? Her middle name, however, is Rosita, and her attitude is definitely good neighbor. Her greatest charms are a friendly smile, a gleeful chuckle, and a most attractive blush. She ' s an all-round girl, — scholarly, athletic, artistic, and quietly dependable. That ' s our Mary, — an efficient Class President, an outstanding student, and a wonderful friend.

The pride and joy of the Senior Class is our lovely Jane. As President of the Self-Government Association this year, she has guided with wisdom, grace, and quiet efficiency, the educational and social activities of the entire student body. Janie is a girl with so many talents and abilities that it will be impossible in future years for her classmates to recall her charming self in any single aspect. One may remember her presiding on the platform, sweetly dignified and poised, or another may recall her star performances in the gym; if you ' ve had the pleasure of riding with Janie, you ' ll picture her natural grace and ease in the saddle. Yes, Jane ' s pretty, peppy, and popular, — Miss Tee Cee herself!

The keynote of Barbara ' s personality is quiet friendliness. That she is an efficient worker was demonstrated by her energetic par- ticipation in the War Salvage Drive. Her interests in college have been centered mainly in the field of commercial subjects, and she is an accurate and rapid typist. Keenly interested also in books, Barbara is an avid reader. At the meetings of the Literary Club she always took an active part, and her contributions to the discussions of current literature showed good critical judgment. Her work as a Girl Scout leader augurs well for her success in the classroom.

Florence ' s social charm is due, in no small measure, to her warm, genuine friendliness. She is always courteous and gracious, at ease in any group, and she is gifted with the ability to put others at ease. Endowed with a keen intelligence and perfect poise, she is always a welcome addition to our college activities. Her blond beauty is enhanced by her tasteful and becoming clothes. Her leisure hours she divides between her twin. loves, — reading and music. How often we have enjoyed the music which her gifted fingers evoked from her violin! We may say truly that Florence is an ideal college girl.

Like a gay autumn leaf is our Ellen, with her halo of red-gold hair, her almost-matching red-brown eyes, and her warm, friendly smile. Her charm is elusive; you say she is quiet — you must add that she is always gay; you say that she is a bit shy — you must add how very friendly she is; you say she is a pleasant, laughing comrade — you must add that she is an understanding, affectionate friend. Ellen can usually be found in the Chemistry Lab, a Titian-haired magi- cian, brewing mysterious concoctions. We have her to thank for the interesting educational excursions we enjoyed when she was president of the Science Club. Our Ellen has a sunshine heart and a soul of song.

We welcomed Marie to Teachers College in the Sophomore year. A wave of her hand, a- flashing smile, a cheerful greeting — and she won a place in our hearts immediately. Her bright vividness and gracious friendliness have never lost their charm for us. Clever at sketching, gifted in writing, and excellent in all her work, Marie is one of our ablest and most versatile students. Her capability and her sunny disposition have made her greatly in demand as a committee member for various college enterprises. Vivacious, fun-loving, and interesting, she has a host of friends.

Vanish all our frosty cares. Everyone loves Betty with her dark, gypsy-like attractiveness and gay friendliness. When occasion demands dignity, Betty is its very essence; when friendship calls the tune, she responds with rare understanding and sincere warmth; and when it ' s fun we ' re looking for, her sparkling enthusiasm and natural gaiety make her the perfect companion. With tingling energy and staunch de- termination, she hurries about getting things accomplished in no time at all. No wonder that she ' s always heading committees, and that her enterprises are invariably successful! A pep talk from Betty, and we agree to anything from horseback riding to acting the villain in a class play. Our farewell to Betty carries with it the wish that she ' ll keep that breathless charm, and never, never change. Secondary School: Mt.

Dorothy deserves a rousing cheer from all her classmates in gratitude for her success as head of the Lost-and-Found Department. She had a genius for finding the never-ending stream of pens, books, and car checks that we seemed to have a genius for losing. Sometimes we suspected her of legerdemain technique, so quickly did she produce our despaired-of belongings. Everything Dotty does is characterized by sincere effort, and she does everything well. Nor are we deceived by her modest, unassuming manner as to her fine scholarly achievements. For our only student of the lovely language of Spain, we wish a speedy materialization of all the castles she has built in that enchanting country. Secondary School: Jeremiah E.

Perhaps that is why you usually find her seated behind the silver urn at Drama Club parties. With her long dark hair and wide blue eyes, Rosaleen was a natural choice for the part of the beautiful languishing heroine of The Lamp Went Out. Beautiful she certainly is, but languishing — never, as those who have worked with her behind scenes can testify.

Orvitt 06} Class Essay LET THERE BE LIGHT With these words God created light. He then divided the light from the darkness. Through the ages light has ever been the symbol of all that is good and noble, as darkness has been the symbol of all that is evil and ignoble. During these war years the lights of the world have been extinguished; there has been a universal blackout. Not only in the homes but in the hearts of men, the light has been dimmed by fear and hatred, by the blood and tears of a suffering and enslaved world. The war has given tragic proof of what ty- ranny and greed can do to plunge humanity into a terrible chaos of darkness. Our hope lies in an enlightened world, free from the fear of aggression, free from hatred and envy, where men of good-will will join to build a new world based on our noble heritage of true faith, high courage, and universal love. The bright vision of a world democracy founded on righteous principles that have withstood the tests of all centuries irradiates the hearts of men. The grass stirs, the flowers open a little wider, and the mountains stand higher to greet the dawning light of a new world emerging from the darkness of man ' s errors. The United States is a rich and powerful nation. The citizens of our country have had greater opportunities than the peoples of any other country in the world. But in the words of our first president, To be a great nation, we must be an enlightened nation. At the entrance to New York Harbor stands our Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, raising aloft the blazing torch of freedom. We, as a nation, must lift high the torch of democracy, and light the path that will ultimately lead to a truly enlightened and therefore a better world. Our torch will burn more brightly if our children, the torch-bearers of tomorrow, are educated in the laws and ideals of a righteous nation. It is our responsibility as teachers to educate these future leaders and citizens of the United States in the just, philosophic principles of the Constitution. This war is largely the result of wrong education. The pagan philosophies which assert the glory of a master race, the right of aggression, and the subjugation of weaker nations, are the creation of learned men. These monstrous theories have de- stroyed man ' s consciousness of human rights and obligations. Our young pupils must be instructed not only in the democratic traditions that have ruled our nation since its foundation, but also in noble moral prin- ciples. Education results in either a growth or a degradation of man ' s nature, a perfection o r a corruption of his spiritual faculties. If our nation is to flourish under the protecting arch of peace, we must choose a form of education based on a righteous philosophy, in which the intelligence, virtue, and character of our children will be developed. They must be free from hatred, distrust, national greed, and indifference to right and wrong. A child who has been given the high {77 ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity, and imbued with strong moral stan- dards will develop the self-respect and self-reliance that will enable him to face and to accept the responsibilities of life. A good education is the problem of the home as well as of the school. Since the family is the basic unit of the nation, the nation must encourage and foster ideal family life, for in the home are laid the foundations of every child ' s education, both spiritual and cultural. The parents, in whose care the young child spends most of his time, are the prime influences in molding his character. To be a good citizen a child must possess self-control, which is particularly neces- sary in a democracy, where freedom must not mean license. Obedience to law IS a basic element in promoting co-operation for the common good of any community. Such obedience must be taught in the home. If our children are thus inspired with noble ideals and right principles, they will in manhood main- tain the United States on a foundation of true liberty, equality, and fraternity. It is the task of each and every one of us to point the way and light the path that will lead our children to a noble way of life, for in the words of Thomas a Kempis, Without the way, there is no going; Without the light, there is no knowing; Without the life, there is no living. As citizens not only of the United States but of the world, these American youths must recognize their duty to work together for the common good of all. Inspired by their realization of the oneness of the human race, they must strive for an international democracy founded on the brotherhood of man, on the prin- ciples of moral justice, and on the commandments of God. One of the greatest contradictions of our generation is that while the nations have grown closer geographically through the advance of mechanical science, they have grown farther apart spiritually. We have lost the unifying power of the spiritual, which must shine as the beacon light of any civilization. The greatest error of our time lies in the attempt to create a brotherhood of man without the fatherhood of God. Our spiritual life must be built on the rock foun- dation of truth. Any spiritual structure based on contradictory human philoso- phies is predestined for a downfall. Unity among men must be re-established, not on the basis of class or race which divides us, but on the basis of religious prin- ciples. Then at last we shall achieve spiritual ideals which will light the world. Since we, as teachers, shall have the responsibility of fostering these ideals in our pupils, our prayer might well be that of the gentle Saint of Assisi, Lord make me an instrument of your peace! Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; W here there is despair, hope; Where there is sadness, joy; Where there is darkness, light.

ESTELLE KaTZ 80 Ji y OmtioH Today, classmates and friends, we have gathered in the courtyard of our beloved Teachers College for the traditional planting of the ivy, which is to symbolize in its growth the spirit of the Class of 1945. Though but a tiny slip, it will in time develop into a sturdy vine, spreading always outward and striving ever upward toward the light. From our ivy let us draw inspiration for a life of constant growth and steadfast purpose, spreading outward in our influence for good and striving upward toward the light of Truth. Let us be worthy followers of the ideals held before us at Teachers College. We are coming to the close of our college days, — memorable days of happy companionship and earnest study. In our instructors and classmates we have found sincere friends. Through books and activities we have learned valuable lessons that will enable us to lead youth with its ardor to seek for the truth. Our years at college have been darkened by the tragedies and sorrows of war. The state of the world today recalls the old Greek myth which tells how Pandora opened the forbidden box, from which spread over the earth a black and terrible cloud of evils to beset humanity. Horrified when she realized the harm she had done, she hastily replaced the cover and succeeded in retaining one saving grace, Hope. It would seem as though now once again the fatal box had been opened, and the storm clouds of greed, hatred, malice, and despotism released to cause this devastating war of destruction and death. But in our hearts we must keep Hope safe, — Hope for a future of freedom and peace. We have had the mental training of a fine college education to guide us through the coming years of change and strain. Our greatest strength will be in Hope as the foundation of the future, for a worthwhile world cannot be built on fear and discouragement. Hope is a dominant characteristic of youth, — a vital force in our own lives. With hope we must face the years ahead; with courage and vision make them worthy of our effort and of our education, — make them reflect our ideals. We have been taught to honor the higher values of life. Our duty now will be to exemplify these values among our associates, professional and social, and to inst ill them in the minds a;nd hearts of our pupils. Children are readily impressed and easily influenced. It is important then for us to nurture within ourselves fine spiritual qualities of faith in God and Hope for the world. My parting message to you, my classmates, lies in the beautiful Latin phrase — Sursum cordk! — Lift up your hearts! Let us today lift up our hearts that we may envision a future of universal peace, and let us resolve to do our part in the shaping of a better, nobler world. Mary R.

Barry, LT. S. N. R. TEACHERS COLLEGE NIGHT AT THE POPS Tuesday, June 26 02 Class Mis tor y JOAN SPEAKS I, Joan, the Maid of Domremy, from my honored station in the entrance hall of Teachers College, have watched a seemingly endless pro- cession of students pass before me. This constant vision of freshness, vigor, and youth keeps me perennially young. From my vantage point I ■ have become familiar with the hopes, the ideas, the ideals — even the secrets of the students. No one knows them so well. In 1939 and 1940 how I missed the bright faces of the Freshmen! Then in 1941 the dull summer was enlivened by the joyous news that I should have a new freshman class to greet. So delighted was I that I have always thought of this Class as My Class. How well I remember that first day, rainy and cheerless, — September 9, 1941! The banging of the front door announced the earliest arrival. She walked timidly into the reception room and looked shyly about. She was not alone for long. Soon the room resounded with delighted cries of recognition. Freshman sister had met Senior sister. Then the days fairly flew. Hazing Week passed in a panorama of out- rageous color schemes, bringing such gay laughter and good fun, that I envied these happy twentieth-century girls. Freshmen were brought before unrelenting Senior judges, who sternly presided in full regalia of caps and gowns. The obedient were rewarded and the insubordinate, chastised. As they trooped past me after the ordeal, I caught snatches of conversation: Good-bye, pigtails! Welcome, curls! Throw out the shopping bags! Now for some artful dressing! I liked those Freshmen. They were an intelligent and versatile group of girls, settling down to the regular routine of classes with zest and determination, I saw them studying in groups in the reception room, or going to the library and emerging, triumphant, with those elusive copies of Hayes and Moon, Frasier and Armentrout, and Douglas. Will the girls ever forget their first days at the Model School, when they came, saw, and were conquered — conquered by a confused conglomeration of educational terms, and completely overwhelmed by the awesome responsibility of being classroom teachers. It got to be a habit for the Freshmen to prop their books on my pedestal, as they discussed college activities. Their lively descriptions recreated for me the Self-Government Formal at the Sheraton, the Record Hop in Collins Hall, and the farewell party for Miss Clark. I could easily visualize the laughable mishaps that attended the May-Pole Dance, for I heard hilariously described such disasters as falling costumes, m isplaced moustaches, and lost laddies and lassies. The week-end of December 6th passed uneventfully for me in the silent 04} corridor. I eagerly anticipated the return of the girls on Monday morning with their lighthearted chatter. But on the morning of December 8th there was no talk of week-end dates. A stricken silence prevailed. How strange! Soon my attention was attracted by the sound of hurrying feet. Room 14. President Roosevelt is going to ask for a declaration of war on Japan. War? Pearl Harbor? Japan? They were meaningless words to me then. I ' ve learned since. A new seriousness of purpose and sense of responsibility were evident as I watched the Freshmen leave in June. Then came the long, lonesome vacation weeks. How I longed for the reopening of the College! In September the students returned, poised Sophomores now, their faces tanned by sunny days on playground, their shoulders ready to carry their new responsibilities as the upper class, since there were no Juniors or Seniors. How short the memory! I thought, as the first evidences of Hazing Week appeared. I saw once again the colorful procession of freshmen in tradi- tional pigtails, mismated socks, and shopping bags bulging with books, but now my old friends were the hazers. Classes were soon in full swing. The Sophomores, burdened with heavy programs, yet found time for war-work and even for tun. . I saw Miss Sallaway adjusting the Treasury T Banner for ninety per cent participation in the purchase of war stamps. I heard the busy chatter of the Red Cross Group, rolling band- ages; and mingled with their voices were the distinctly bass notes of our young Post-Graduate students, enrolled in Teachers College for pre-induction work. The college life went busily on. Girls, laden with specimens of wild flowers, made a vivid picture as they trooped upstairs to the biological laboratory. Soon classes were suspended for the issuing of ration books. When I saw the T.C. girls giving their help willingly for the war effort, I felt again the glow of my own burning love of country and freedom. Rationing Week, with all its stern implications, provided, nevertheless, rare humor that could have furnished problems for the abnormal psychology class, under the title, Human Nature on Parade. A sad climax to the year was the retirement of Mr. Packard and Miss Mansfield. I can still see Mr. Packard, tall and kindly, standing near the office door and telling one of his famous stories, as he bade farewell to a group ot students. In September my old friends returned as Juniors. With professional spirit they carried on as the leaders of the College. Their interest and energy amazed me. Model School observations became the chief topic of conversation. I heard the students discussing their teaching lessons, I saw them start off, quaking with fear and trepidation, at the thought of their first appearance before a class. But it seemed to me that they all came back jubilant, looking like veteran teachers. This was a year crowded with new experiences: — a Hallowe ' en Dance in the Gym, the daily ritual of observing the noon-day altitude of the sun, the usual rush of examinations. Assembly War-Programs, and a host of other activities. The regular routine of College life was suddenly interrupted for the Juniors. Substituting! Magical, exhilarating word! The Juniors were being called upon to relieve the existing teacher-shortage due to the war. I heard the students as they came from the office with their assignments. They looked so excited! A final pat to the hair-do, a tug at the already-straight skirt, a quick {85 review of the routes they would have to take, and a last glance at that all-too- precious course of study. I caught snatches of conversation: I ' ve never been alone with forty children before. What am I ever going to do with them? — Do you want to know something, Florence? I ' m petrified! The door banged as they started off on their new venture, and my bless- ing went with them. I missed them and waited anxiously for the exciting stories I would surely hear when they returned. I was not disappointed. The hall echoed with a babel of voices: Once I started talking to them, it really wasn ' t too bad! — Can you imagine me in a special class, teaching a pupil how to mend a shoe? — I never realized before how much I liked teaching! The students had had their baptism by fire and evidently had come through with flying colors. One morning I saw the girls hurrying in with neatly-tied bundles of paper. The faculty, too, came bearing old examinations, which they placed in a huge container, where they could do no more harm. What was going on? Estelle Katz enlightened me. Of course! The Salvage Drive! The College soon col- lected an amazing pile of paper, a pile so large, in fact, that the newspapers sent men to photograph it. They even included me in the picture. I was grateful then for my really permanent wave. With the spring came talk of the long-awaited Junior Week. Girls walked by me making arrangements for a class supper, a theater party, the Pops, and a class outing. Their fiery enthusiasm was contagious, and soon not only the Juniors but the Sophomores and the Freshmen were talking excitedly about the proposed plans. Glowing reports of the joys of Junior Week continued to reach my ears even after final examinations had begun, and conversation had turned naturally to such subjects as history, English, and nature study. But the ordeals were soon over, and the students departed joyfully for the vacation. As she was leaving, one of the girls impulsively laid her hand on mine, and said, You know, Joan, I ' m going to miss you. The warm glow wh ' ich her words brought to my heart lasted all summer. I hardly recognized the dignified young women who returned to the College in September. Their advance to the exalted order of Seniors had cer- tainly wrought a change. I liked them with this new seriousness, because they looked as if they could face life ' s problems with courage and determination. The first words I heard were, I wonder where I am going to be sent? I hope my training teacher will be pleasant. Could it be possible that already these girls were to be sent out for practice teaching? It evidently could be and was. The students looked very impressive as they filed past me on the day when they were invested in their caps and gowns. The ceremony took place in the tradition-rich courtyard of the College, and I could hear the sweet young voices singing Alma Mater. Happiness was in the air; I shared it as the girls filed by to pose for a Lampas picture. The sight of their newly-acquired dignity, their thoughtful young faces, and their fresh charm remains with me yet. Busy days followed. The Seniors were engrossed in home-lessons, ex- aminations, themes, yearbook work, and practice-teaching problems. Tuesday afternoons proved happy occasions, for it was then that the girls who were doing practice teaching came in for conferences. Such joyful reunions were held! I {86} remember well how the girls who were out came in to the College. Huge portfolios nearly hid them; I recognized the drab olive-green covers as belonging to the Public Library. Ah! the enrichment material I had heard them talk- ing about! Hectographed seatwork, purple- veined on the white paper, peeped from their new, official-looking notebooks. Senior dignity did not halt the general good fun. Reports that came to me of the two Lampas Dances were interesting. The Hotel Puritan, it seemed, had a perfect hall for dancing, and the girls evidently had made good use of it. Uniforms — khaki and navy blue — gave a military-naval tone to the scene. All too soon exams came. I wished that the examinations wouldn ' t absorb the students so completely, because I missed their conversation. Their preoccupation ended finally, and I reveled again in the gay chatter. This time it was teaching assignments that claimed their attention and mine: What is it going to be like? — Look, I am going to a school right near my home! Isn ' t it wonderful! How I would miss them! I thought. But on the following Mon- day I gladly welcomed back the girls who had been out. It seemed strange at first for them to be going to class to be taught instead of to teach. I could see it in their faces and could hear it in their conversation. They adapted them- selves quickly, and soon were hurrying to and from the library with copies of Mead and Orth and Peacock ' s Myths. Talk about the yearbook continued. A pretty red-haired girl was con- stantly urging her classmates to get more ads for the Lampas; the Art-Elective girls were begging for inspiration for cartoons. A W hite Elephant Sale to be held in the Assembly Hall! What was this mystery? Girls, carrying interesting-looking packages, kept running past me. Then I guessed — an Auction Sale for the Lampas! I could hear the laughter occasioned by the wit of Mr. Quinn, the auctioneer. Imagine! A package ot gum brought fifty cents! The sale was a great success, and the Lampas fund was increased by an enviable sum. Soon all the talk was of Senior Week. Rose Bronstein was elected Class Marshal. It was a good choice — I liked Rose. Plans for the great week were discussed enthusiastically. Days flew by. Events followed each other so quickly that life seemed a dream. Class Day, dear to the hearts of college girls, was held on June second. I heard the strains of Florence Obelsky ' s violin, the voice of Betty Paget giving the class essay, and the sweet music of the class song to Alma Mater. How lovely the girls looked as they filed by me for the Courtyard exercises, — the daisy chain, the planting of the ivy, and the farewell address of Mary McLaughlin! The dance in the evening made a happy climax to a happy day. Then came the Class Banquet, where all was joy and good fellowship; a Class Outing at Salem Willows; and a gay musical treat — the Pops. June 7th! Commencement! The students of the Class of ' 45 received the degrees for which they had worked so long and faithfully; the coveted sheepskins were theirs at last. Congratulations to them! They will surely be a credit to their College, their parents, and — to me. They have given me four years of happy memories to keep forever.

Under the direction of the Associa- tion the students conducted the Assembly programs and forums, the various activities promoting the War Effort, and, of course, the college dances and other social events. Performing their duties tactfully and intelligently, they secured the loyal support and co-operation of the students. Since its foundation the Self-Government Association has grown steadily in dignity and power until today it is the most vital organization in the college. Through its influence there has developed a realization that the honor and welfare of the college are the responsibility of each and every student, for the Association is truly of the students, by the students, for the students. 96 MnidMdter When we came, Alma Mater, to thee in our youth, When we lifted our eyes, full of trust, to thy face, A hen we felt there thy spirit, and saw there thy grace ■VN ' e desired then thy wisdom, we longed for thy truth. As the years have flown by with their toil and their joy, Thou hast quickened our ears, thou ha st 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.

One of the most fascinating and interesting clubs sponsored by the Teachers College is the Art Club. It serves our college in many ways, such as planning scenery for plays, making posters for various college events, and arranging decorations for dances and teas. During the Christmas season the club conducts a sale of holiday greeting cards, attractively designed, and block- printed in gay colors. Tours to art exhibits and spots of scenic beauty form another part of the Club ' s interesting program. Last, but not least, the socials are always well attended and thoroughly enjoyed. Thus in many ways the Art Club opens up opportunities for the worthy use of leisure time. {103 ,_-. 3 ' tJlUBBP ' B . - - iHmBi L ' ' ' ' Bgm... if Wi ' . p I K JM iw ,- . .

The Athletic Association, one of the most popular clubs in the College, has again triumphed in the successful completion of a season of exciting events and tournaments. Its widespread appeal was evidenced by the enthusiastic attendance of its large number of members. Basketballs, birdies, and deck- tennis rings have been kept busily humming in our gymnasium. Ot her favorite sports which were offered were horse-back riding, swimming, and bowling. The basketball and bowling inter-class competitions were among the main events. The annual traditional party climaxed the season ' s activities. At that time members were awarded the College letters they had earned for their athletic accomplishments, or, as the Romans said, for their mens sana in corpore sano. The Club fostered also the outstanding qualities of good sports- manship: — honesty, fair-play, co-operation, true team-spirit, and a genuine love for the game. {104 Dorothy Zeidman President Doris Liberman First lice-President Jane Levenson Second Vice-President Pearl Small .

This year, as ever, the Classical Club has served as a perfect argument against those who believe that Latin is a dead language. At each meeting, when various skits, poems, or prose selections were presented, the students realized that life then and now had a great many things in common. The pro- grams aroused a feeling of kinship with the romantic figures of classic Rome and Greece. The annual banquet was the most anticipated event on the Classical Club agenda, not only for the students in college but for those graduate members who, year after year, come back to share in the general spirit of friendliness and comraderie which is the keynote of the Club. Memories of picnics, the monthly meetings, and the annual banquet will ever bind the members closer to Teachers College. •{105 Ruth Carroll . . President Rita McMahon . . Vice-President Emily Scott .

To be or not to be was the question we asked about the Commercial Club in our Junior year. As the first elementary-major class to choose Clerical Skills as our elective, we inherited the Commercial Club; but fall playground work and later substitute teaching made afternoon meetings almost impossible. During the second semester, we evolved the plan of noon business meetings in Room 5, and monthly Thursday-evening theatre parties arranged by our officers. This year, we miss our classmate, Lee Bachman, now a Wave stenographer. We have welcomed the Juniors into our new kind of Commercial Club, and they seem to approve of it {106 } Barbara McCann President Leonora Glineckis First I ' ice-President Dorothy Morrissev Second I ' ice-Presidene Alice McLaughlin Grace Sprague .

One of our pleasantest memories is that of our week- end trip to the log cabin at Antrim, New Hampshire. Other enjoyable features have been our annual Christmas Sale of attractive plants and candle holders, our out-of-door camp supper at Mr. Lamprey ' s estate in Sudbury, and our visit to the Harvard Medical Museum.

The Drama Club affords many opportunities for experience and enjoy- ment. At each meeting plays are presented, which not only provide entertain- ment for the audience, but also adventures in writing, producing, casting, and acting for the ambitious members of the Club. One of the aims of the Club is to produce plays written and directed by its members. In this way valuable experience is gained in costuming, make-up, lighting, and making scenery. All this experience may later be of great help when members have their own school clubs. The annual Christmas Nativity Play is an example of the high standard of all Drama Club productions. The Club appeals also to the competitive spirit of the students. At the final meeting of the year each class presents a fifteen-minute sketch for the dramatic honors of the College. The Drama Club exemplifies the unselfish, co-operative spirit of Teachers College students { 108 Carmela Bonarrigo . Presidente Edythe Sniper . Vice-Presidente Frances Hatch .

During its twenty-five years of exist- ence, some of its activities have become College traditions — Thanksgiving baskets, Christmas gifts to children sick in hospitals, afternoon volunteer service at Settlement Houses, and gifts of milk and clothing for needy children. The Club also contributes, in the name of the College, to the Greater Boston United War Fund, American Red Cross, summer camps for Boston children, and other collections made by community organizations. With generous sup- port and service from faculty and student members, and the receipts from the sales of candy and ink to the students, the Club endeavors to carry out the spirit of our motto — Education for Service. 112 War Salmge Ruth Carroll Mary Dowd Barbara Mulkerrin The Self-Government Association, as one of its contributions to the War Effort, organized a drive for the salvage of waste paper within the College.
