You have seen the years of strain; your final year happily has been one during which hostilities have ended, and our tired world has been gropingly feeling its way towards peace. The pages of your i ' ear Book will recall the joys and sorrows of those years, and enable you to live again your college days. May it be a source of happiness to you thus to recall them, and an inspiration so to serve our fellow citizens that the better world for which we all so fervently pray may become a reality.

' ' RutV WKelto Admimstmtm Zhe faculty We offer to the Faculty ot our College grateful appre- ciation tor all that they have done by precept and example to prepare us for the noble profession of teaching. Their sympathe- tic advice, able instruction, and genuine friendship have given us a high ideal which we shall strive to attain. May we in our future ca- reers prove worthy of these inspiring teachers. PRESIDENT KENNEDY To Dr. Kennedy we express our deep appreciation of his wise leadership, his sincere interest in our welfare, and his sympathetic understanding of our problems. The Teachers College is fortunate in having as its president a true scholar, an able administrator, and a gentleman of high personal and pro- fessional ideals. •(19 } MISS MARGARET MARY SALLAWAY The Class of 1946 has had in Miss Sallaway a friendly and earnest adviser, who has worked constantly for the best interests of the students. Her guidance and wise counsel in all our college activities have been invaluable. {20} MISS MARY ELIZABETH CARNEY Miss Carney, secretary to the president, retired last June after many years of valuable service to the Teachers College. Always gentle and courteous, she worked with quiet efficiency, and was never too busy to respond pleasantly to the many de- mands upon her time. The best wishes of the faculty and the student body go to Miss Carney for leisure days of relaxation and happiness. 421 mij5flmmiP0(jjn mixjBflRR mR5: barrv mii5 cflRnEV missciRRK miJ5CLflRK mixj DicKXon PR.

We pay grateful tribute to the efficient service they gave the class and to the skill with which they guided the course of our senior year. The picture shows them on the memorable day when we were invested with our academic robes. Although we began our college career as a war class, we had the happiness of receiving our degrees under the star of peace. Always we shall hold in affectionate remembrance our years at Teachers College, — years of serious study, loyal friendships, and widening horizons. {25 Jane Katharine Barr Vnderneath her silence there ' s sincerity and kindness. A pleasant Buenos dias is all we need to hear to know that Jane has arrived. Throughout her four years in college, she has been such an earnest student of Spanish that we regard her as an au- thority on everything relating to fascinating Espana. Very petite, very quiet, very friendly — that ' s Jane! x lways eager to help, she has been a loyal supporter of all our enterprises, and a tireless worker for their success. Although her favorite maxim may be, Silence is golden, yet when it comes to describing the activities of her baby brother in the Marines, Jane waxes eloquent. In- deed we have become so much interested in her hero, that we look forward to meeting him.

Do you need a story illustrated? a picture for a language lesson? a poster for a dance? Ask Eleanor. How ready and willing she always is to give us the benefit of her artistic talents! As Class President she guided the course of our Sophomore year not only with tact and good judgment, but also with unfailing and gracious courtesy. A leader and an organizer of many of our activities, she proved to us her capable efRciency. To every undertaking she brought an eager interest and an enthusiastic spirit that spelt success. To this fair-haired lass, with the winning smile, we owe the pleasure of many of our social gatherings. A lively, fun-loving girl — a pleasant companion — a loyal friend — Eleanorose Boyle!

From the first time we met Millie, we have been under the spell of her charming manner and soft, gentle voice. Here is a girl who exemplifies those fundamental qualities that make a person truly noble, — kindness, generosity, and loyalty. Her kindness has been proved by word and deed; her generosity by the time and ability she has given to class activities; her loyalty by her helpful attitude to her classmates and college. An outstanding student in the Math courses, Millie solves problems with such speed and accuracy that we affectionately call her our favorite Adding Machine. May all the events in her future career add up to a lifetime of joy and happiness!

' Never a dull moment when Marie is present! Her diversity ot interests, ranging from clubs and societies to travel, books, and athletics, gives her many a topic for conversation. She has an adventure to lighten every minute, and each is recounted in her characteristically delightful way. A pleasant companion for any occasion, she will keep you in the best of spirits relating her ex- periences, punctuating the recital with merry chuckles. Whether you are concerned with the latest fashions or the history of old Cape Cod, Marie can supply you with all the information you desire. We wish she would give us her secret for extending time so as to include many activities.

Can you tell the twins apart? This perplexing question must still be answered negatively by some members of our class. How alike they are in their dark beauty, in their quiet dignity, in their gentle courtesy, and in their faithfulness to duty! Moreover, during hours of study or recreation they are inseparable. Mary ' s musical gift has given her classmates much pleasure, for we have all enjoyed her excellent piano playing and her dancing. One of her interests has been the Welfare Club; as its president she guided its various activities with fine administrative ability. A good example for us to emulate, a sympathetic companion, a good student — what better friend could one desire!

Our second twin, alphabetically, is Pauline. No less than her sister, she, with her sweet disposition, has won a permanent place in our hearts. An outstanding memory for many of us are our holidays spent at Onset as the guests of the twins. Pauline ' s cheery smile lightened our daily tasks, and her presence made those happy days even more enjoyable. Loyal, generous, sincere, trustworthy, — all these adjectives are descriptive of Pauline. We can already see her as a successful teacher, and all our best wishes are with her. We shall not soon forget our twins, — theirs has been an important place in our four college years.

Of Southey ' s prose, or Wordsworth ' s sonnets Of puppets or of dancing bears. Or battles, or the last new bonnets. The president ot our Selt-Government Association is a student of infinite variety. We admire her beauty, respect her ability, and wonder at her many talents. Actress, artist, athlete, and organizer, in each role Ellen stars. We shall remember her not only as the lovely Madonna of our Nativity Play at Christmas, but also as the unfortunate Biology Major in Accent on Revenge. Many of the attractive dance posters that graced our walls were the work of her clever fingers, and in the Gym her quickness and athletic skill won victories for our team. Ready to comment on the latest best-seller or the age-old classics, interested in geography, farming, and child care, Ellen never has time to be bored. As she leaves a trail of glory behind her at T.C., we hope that an even brighter path lies before our devine Ellen.

Who relishes a joke, and rejoices in a pun. Whose temper is generous, open, sincere, A stranger to flattery , a stranger to fear. An ordinary conversation is suddenly disrupted by laughter. You can wager that the cause of the merriment is one ot Eleanor ' s apt ad-libs. Her delightful and enviable humor is so much her own that it has come to be known among her classmates as the Donovan wit. Eleanor is fun to be with not only in college but out of college. She excels in various sports. Do you wish to ride, to bowl, to rollerskate? Eleanor is always ready to go with you, and a good time is assured. She has a flair, too, for organization. We shall remember her service as chairman of our Mother-Daughter Tea, and as Advertising Manager of the Lampas. A loyal friend, a jolly companion, a good sports-woman, a grand girl!

Charm, genuine friendliness, and unlimited energy have charac- terized all phases of Louise ' s college career. As an officer of the Drama Club, she has coached many successful plays. The Literary Club, of which she has been an outstanding member and a gracious president, has profited from her wide knowledge of books, and her talent for discussing them interestingly and with fine critical appreciation. We automatically turn to Louise for suggestions for extra-curricular activities, for we have come to rely on her ability to solve our problems with comparative ease. She has indeed been a delightful person to know! Lovely Louise! May we always have the pleasure of her friendship!

When we think ot Veronica we immediately recall a thousand-and- one pleasant memories: Her sweet voice rising ever so gently as she sang in the Christmas play; her cheerful determination to gain the necessary one-hundred per cent for the Defense Stamp Committee, and her triumphant joy when she attained this goal; the Fallon version of the latest joke, sending us into gales ot laughter; her descriptions and imitations at the Junior Class banquet; the many outings, picnics, skating-parties, and winter week-ends, at which she looked out for everyone ' s pleasure. With such a motto as, Keep smiling, Fal is destined to go far in a world where smiles are so badly needed.

Many ot our college affairs have succeeded because of her good-natured, liberal assistance. Forgetful of self when others can be aided, Marie can always be depended on to extend a helping hand. Her stories, bright and witty, have pro- vided entertainment for her classmates, keeping everyone laughing and in good spirits. She lightens otherwise dull moments with her humorous versions of the little occurrences of college life. Gay- hearted, fun-loving, generous Marie! May the years bless her for the kindness she has shown to others!

Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes. The budding scientist ot the class! The young chemist from whom we have hopes of future discoveries! Do not let this introduction frighten you, however. Trudy Goldberg is not a scholar who hides in a laboratory and spends all her days peering into a microscope through horn-rimmed glasses. Whether in or out of the Lab., she is fun-loving and vivacious. She has abilities, too, apart from her precious test tubes and beakers. To her we often turned when we needed an organizer for a dance or a class dinner, or an Assembly speaker for a very special occasion. So in toasting Trudy, we say, May the success which you have won thus tar in your career con- tinue to shine upon you!

A woman of reason, Never grave out of pride, never gay out of season. ' ' No need to introduce Ginny — our Class President! heart full of human kindness, a hand ever ready to help, and a spirit happy and generous make her everyone ' s friend. In Junior Math, when some of us faced our Waterloo over a problem, Ginny came to the rescue, and presto! it was solved. As a ticket seller she was our miracle woman. Her pleasant voice, ready humor, and determined purpose had the magic of a Midas touch. Her love of the Arts is equalled by her love of sports. The theater, literature, and music compete with hiking, skating, and sailing. To her we always looked for the latest tune, the latest dance step, the latest joke. Versatility — the word suggests Virginia Houghton.

Lo! In our class there is a student of true scholarly tastes. Hughesie is an ardent lover of books, and her wide reading has given her a keen appreciation of good literature. Reading is not a task to Margue- rite; it ' s a joy! She finds her chief pleasure in poetry, and her inter- ests cover a wide range, from a Shakespearean sonnet to a Kipling ballad. Marguerite ' s notebooks, written in her distinctive penman- ship contain not only excellent notes for every class, but also many bits of odd information culled from her wide reading. However, Marguerite is not merely a bookish student. When we see a certain Puckish smile, we know that she has played a prank on someone, perhaps an unsuspecting freshman. Then, too, she takes an ardent interest in sports, especially in golf, volley ball, and basketball. The Athletic Association owes much to her enthusias- tic leadership. Indeed, Hughesie is our ideal of a fine college girl.

A toast to Ann, one of the most talented members of our class! We hope that she may one day realize her proud ambition to become a concert pianist. Many of our happiest hours have been spent listening to her fine rendition of Rustles of Spring, Polichinelle, and Malagnena. Sometimes, however, she yields to our earnest pleas and sets aside the classics to play such favorites as Little Yellow Bird, or Pretty Kitty. Ann has proved that music has charms to smooth the student ' s brow. Her ability to do the unexpected and her pertinent quick-witted remarks make her always interesting. The day seems brighter when Ann, with her lovely smile, bids us Good Morning.

Like the sunshine suddenly breaking through black clouds, Barbara seemed when college work was hard and examinations loomed threateningly. Her charms to drive away our cares were a smile, a cheery laugh, a witty comment, or the latest joke. No matter how dark things looked, she could always find something humorous in the situation and, better still, could make us see the tunny side. Her hobbies are dancing, singing, and making others happy, — a fine combination of interests. Barbara has her serious side, as her efficient work in the Welfare Club testifies. Her friendliness and generosity were expressed in her work on the Thanksgiving Baskets. Nor shall we ever forget her beautiful portrayal of the Madonna in our Christmas pageant. Barbara will always be one of our pleasantest memories of T. C.

G vi has the gracious poise of a first lady, the charm of a perfect hostess, and the many interests of a successful executive. Life to her is full of zest. To business and to pleasure she brings equal fervor. A perfect chairman, she never hesitates when work is to be done, or fails to enter in when fun holds the stage. She is quick, and bright, and always entertaining. She is versatile, too, — an all- round girl, fond of hiking, skating, bicycling, and driving. We call her Gen, but we think of her as a gem, rare and precious.

Still seeking the sublime. If you desire an answer to some moot question, or if you are seeking some particular fact that has eluded your memory, Eileen will gladly help you from her store of knowledge, and often provide you with a host of other interesting facts. Laughing brown eyes that gaze steadily, a cheery temperament, and quiet manner have endeared our capable classmate to us. She has indeed won a place in our affections, and we know that our student days are richer because she has been a member of the class. As we say farewell to Teachers College, our best wishes go to Eileen for a bright future.

Feeling deeper than all thought. Wide-eyed, attentive, interested Jane! She has been an eager and efficient participant in all the college activities, and often her practical suggestions have straightened out a difficult problem. The old saying, Where there is interest there is progress, was well exemplified in her capable work for the Red Cross and the Welfare Club. W orthwhile causes seem always to attract Jane, probably because she is so innately kind and thoughtful. Her philosophy is not Accept life as it is, but rather Do something to improve it. Interesting and interested, Jane has been a valuable member of our class.

Her violin selections have always enhanced the beauty of our Christmas plays, and her ability in sight-singing makes us marvel. To every activity during our college years, Arleon has brought genuine enthusiasm and boundless energy; she seemed to have a faculty for keeping things moving. Her sympa- thetic, friendly attitude will endear her to all that are placed in her charge. Knowing Arleon, we feel that she will be a teacher who will make children really enjoy school.

Al- though the company works as a unit, the members are two quite individual personalities. When we first met Dot we were impressed by her reserved manner. Soon, however, we came to know the quick smile and the mischievous sparkle that belie her shy dignity, and reveal her social and fun-loving nature. Dot is an excellent worker, willing, efficient, and dependable. Her All right, I ' ll do it, became a familiar phrase at class meetings, when a manager was needed for a difficult task. And we always knew that in Dot ' s capable hands the work would be done and done well.

Just to be in the same room with Florence can lighten one ' s spirits, for she is a sunshine girl, who sends out rays of happiness. The good fairies must have endowed her with the priceless gift of seeing the silver lining. She is a girl of many abilities. Her power of leadership was proved when, as president of the Drama Club, she made the Club ' s pro- ductions a must on every undergraduate ' s list. She is well-read, always eager to discuss the latest best-sellers and able to comment on them intelligently and interestingly. Florence is a fine type of college girl, — pleasant, companionable, and versatile.

' This is the real McCoy! Louise, the sister ot our favorite football hero, is an athlete in her own right. We can always rely on her to come through with the decisive basket or home run. A star player in tennis and golf, and a star performer in skating matches, she has generously given her extra time in coaching others less proficient than herself. The Athletic Association found in Louise a referee who not only knew the game but also had a fine sense of justice. Outside of college, she has been actively interested in the work of boys ' clubs, especially in the field of sports. Then, here ' s to our star athlete! May she be a winner in the game of life!

We remember best those who have made us happy, and so Mary has gained a special and permanent place in our memories and our hearts. Her ready wit and unrivaled sense of humor have been an unfailing source of enjoyment. Those clever poems, such as Little Fv Upon the Wall, with the gay laugh accompanying their rendition, cannot easily be forgotten. With a generous spirit ever ready and willing to help others, Mary has given much of her spare time to those less talented than herself. Recall her art lessons, her piano recitals, and the Sophomore play that she coached. Her shorthand notes, containing verbatim reports of every lecture, proved invalu- able to those who lacked her stenographic skill. We wish Mary all the happiness and success in life that so delightful a girl deserves.

Quietly and unassumingly she performs admirably every duty, no matter how arduous. Whenever there was need for some particular task to be accomplished, requiring faithfulness and ability, — Maureen was there. With her quick wit and even, sunny temper, she made the perfect chairman.

Donna is one of the ablest members of the Class of ' 46, but she is so quiet and unassuming that one might not at first recognize her outstanding attainments. Her classmates know her as a student of fine intellectual gifts, true scholarly tastes, and high ideals. That she is also a good leader was evidenced in her wise and tactful guidance as an officer of the Self-Government Association. Her success in playground work and in Girl Scout activities augurs well for her success in the classroom. Interested, too, in sports, Donna has been a leading member of our Athletic Association. Last but not least, we must mention her musical gifts. As we listen to her sweet voice we find ourselves thinking that her tone is as true as she herself is.

' We made a wise choice when we named Margaret as editor of our Lampas. To her editorial work she gave intelHgent planning and untiring effort. Always pleasant and friendly, she was at the same time determined in accomplishing her aims. Real ability is easily recognized, and so it was in Margaret ' s case. When we elected her to a committee for any college enterprise, we knew that in her capable hands success would crown the undertaking. Realizing that all work and no play makes a dull student, Margaret mixed humor and gayety with every task. Her Junior-W eek poem gave us a wealth of entertainment and the author a lot of fun. We respect Margaret for her sterling character and fine spiritual out- look; we love her for her bright, cheerful nature. Student, athlete, musician, organizer, friend! Who is it? Our Lampas editor.

As secretary of the Literary Club for three years, she was capable and conscientious in the performance of her duties. Under her competent management, the Candy Table realized substantial profits for the Welfare Club. Despite her many outside interests, she always found time for the College Red Cross work and the sale of War Stamps and Bonds. Shirley ' s happy youthful spirit, generous nature, and willing helpfulness won her a warm place in our hearts.

Are you planning a vacation in sunny France within the next few years? If you are, why not invite Edythe to accompany you? Her happy nature would make her a good companion for any trip, but for a summer in gay Paris she would be a perfect comrade. Consider the musical French accent and the perfect tonic stress ol our accomplished French major. Who of us will recall college days without a memory of Edythe of the gay personality and trouba- dour air, her guitar slung over her shoulder and a song on her lips? We shall recall, too, her friendly smile as she stood behind the counter of the college store trying to satisfy our stationery needs, or our demands for T.C. banners and shields, — which were not. To Edythe we give a vote of thanks for the efficiency and thorough- ness with which she forwarded college and club activities. Secondaj-y School: Jeremiah E.

When we first knew Grace as a Freshman, we discovered that she had a real gift for solving difficult problems in science. Throughout her years at Teachers College she has been an earnest, enthusiastic worker in that field, and an active member of the Current Science Club. We shall remember Grace, too, for her quick wit, her lovable nature, and her talent for making people forget their worries. A sunshine girl, — gay, effervescent, sweet, — she is a wonderful dispeller of gloom.

She has a real gift for describing with dramatic gestures and vivid word pictures, the amusing and exciting adventures which she seems always to be experiencing. Her sparkling personality and gay spirit make her always pleasant company. Like her inseparable friend, Dottie, Barbara finds her chief interest in science, and she is a valuable and enthusiastic member of the Current Science Club.

Rita had quieth ' stolen a place in our hearts, but how large a place we hardly realized until, at the close of the Junior year, she left us to join the Waves. She had always been a steady, enthusiastic participant in all our college affairs. More than that, she was a genial companion and an outstanding student. No wonder we have sincerely missed little Rita. In retrospect we still see her hurrying off for work in the library, or relaxing with us for a few minutes between classes, or enjoying one of our informal get- togethers; indeed just the mention of Rita ' s name brings recollec- tions of many pleasant occasions which were pleasanter because she was with us. The years will not dim our memories of Rita, and we all hope that it will not be long before our sailor reaches the home port.

A thorough optimist, she listened patiently if we told her of our problems; then, pleasant- ly, she would say, Life is too short for worry; come, let ' s have fun! And fun was always to be had wherever Mac was. We all caught some of her gay spirit and joyous courage. Her love of dancing and other good times was exceeded only by her love of children.

Through years of grim battle and sorrow, The youth of our land have struggled to win A happier world for the morrow. Their labors sublime must not be in vain, Must purchase a peace to endure. In our need we appeal to the God of all love A brotherly peace to ensure. O Lord, ever loving, abide with us now And lighten the path that we tread. Shine bright in the gloom to illumine the way That leads through the darkness ahead. For only by love of mankind and of God Can any solution be gained; From only the source of infinite Love Can a world of true peace be attained.

Owen ■{66 } Class Essay WISDOM NOT WEAPONS Like a flash of glorious light in a darkened world came the end of the second World War. Both V-J Day and V-E Day now belong to history, the tumult and shouting have died, but what of the future? What does our vic- tory really mean? Is it only that we had more powerful armed forces, greater scientific achievements, better military strategists? No, our victory carries a far more profound implication. It means we must assume leadership in the new era of a united world. We have proved our military superiority: our duty now is to prove to the world that we are worthy of the peace we have won, a peace gained through victories that were bloody and costly. The emphasis for the past years has been on a world at war, with every man, woman, and child a part of the great force to achieve victory. We have conquered, we have defeated the ideologies of dictatorship and totalitarianism, which sought to enslave all men. But with victory comes the responsibility of creating an age that will go down in history not as the age of the atomic bomb, but rather as the age of humanity, of the brotherhood of man. The new era demands from all mankind not scientific power or physical strength, but the rare and intangible quality of human sympathy. We may de- velop our resources to the utmost, we may produce scientific monsters beyond the utmost bounds of our imagination, but unless we cultivate the ideal of humanity, we shall be doomed by our own creations. Benjamin Franklin, our first great scientist, foresaw not only future scientific achievement but also its dangers. He wrote, The rapid advance science now makes occasions my regretting I was born so soon. It is impossible to imagine the height to which may be carried, in a thousand years, the power of men over matter. Oh, that moral science were in a fair way of improvement, that men would cease to be enemies to one another, and that human beings would at length learn what they now improperly call Hu7nanity The present-day advance has been so rapid and so breath-taking that one dares not think what the future may bring. Too often, however, modern inven- tions have been instruments of destruction. Must our genius create only to destroy? What have we neglected in our education? The global concept of one world is now clear in our minds. W e no longer marvel at breakfast in Boston and dinner in London. Paris, Rome, and Moscow can be reached in a few hours. Tarawa, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima are no longer merely names of dots on the map. They bring poignant memories of blood-soaked isles, stepping-stones to enemy lands. Americans have spent months, even years, in these distant places under the torrid heat of the equatorial sun. Souvenirs brought home from these far lands, tales of adventure and heroism, make us realize that we are not citizens of an isolated nation but brothers in a single world, — all members of God ' s great family. Let us hope that our era may see the realization of Robert Burns ' vision of democracy: It ' s coming yet for a ' that. That man to man the world o ' er, Shall brothers be for a ' that. {67 } The co-operative labors of our three basic societies, — the church, the home, and the school, are united in the splendid task of making the brotherhood of man not a beautiful phrase but a noble reality. The church bases its teaching on the two ftindamental laws, — love of God and love of our fellowmen. It ministers to the highest faculty of man, the spiritual. The war brought people closer to God, as they prayed for the safety ot loved ones far away, and for the blessing of peace on the saddened world. From prayer they gained a sense of the nearness of God, and courage and faith came to help them bear sorrow and bereavement. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. The home is pre-eminently important in the training of a child, for there the fundamental virtues are inculcated and character is molded. On the parents rests a God-given responsibility. Surely for a child there is no greater blessing than a good home. Where the home fails the church and the school must assume additional responsibility. The schools today face a new problem, - that of training children brought up in a war-devastated world to adapt themselves to peace-time living. The arts of peace cannot flourish in a warring world. When the thunders of battle fill the sky, and the black shadows ot fear and misery darken the earth, the hearts of men do not create great music, their hands do not blend soft colors on canvas, their minds have no inspiration to compose noble literature. The heart is filled with hate, and where there is hate there is no room for music; the hand that car- ries a weapon does not paint a masterpiece; the mind aflame with bitterness does not dream great poetry that flows to life through the pen. To the teacher belongs the task of bringing back to her pupils the up- ward looking and the light, — of helping them to develop their talents, to make their dreams a reality. A democracy, in which the ruling power resides in the citizens, demands more than any other form of government an educated people. Education for worthy citizenship means more than training in the 3 R ' s or in the arts and sciences. In a democracy the people have many rights, but they have also corresponding responsibilities. Our children, therefore, must be trained to evalu- ate, to form opinions intelligently, and to be strong in support of their convic- tions. These powers come not from outer force but from inner control. He that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he who taketh a city. Moreover, today, we are facing a broader concept of life than we have ever before known, that of living together in one world. How much of eternal wisdom lies in the statement that the greatest art is the art of living together in peace! If we can train our young people to attain this ideal, we shall be giving them a gift, more precious than rubies, — yea than fine gold. The church, the home, and the school working together can surely educate a people strong and intelligent to live in the age of the atomic bomb. When reason rules the mind, peace will rule the day. Wisdom — not weapons — must determi ne the future. Many of our own generation have died that the new era could be born. The past is theirs; our future they have paid for with their lives. Let us pray that we may be worthy of them. Ellen M. Devine ■168 } ( lass Song MEMORIES Alma Mater, on Class Day a tribute we bring, As in joyous acclaim all our clear voices ring.

It signifies the close of one chapter in our careers, and the beginning of a new and important one. We say farewell to four happy years of collegiate life and are ready to enter the wider sphere of professional service for which we have been trained. In our college we have had the unique and valuable opportunity of being both pupils and teachers. As pupils in our courses in academic subjects and education, we have studied the materials and the theories of our profession; in the schools we have had actual experience in teaching. Thus we have looked upon the problems of education from two points of view, — that of the learner and that of the teacher. Passing from the realm of student life into the professional world, we must not lose the understanding gained from our two-fold preparation. Let our own experience teach us to be patient with the children whose faltering steps we are guiding, — let us recognize their difficulties, assist their efforts, foster their talents, and encourage their ambitions. Today more than ever before in the world ' s history there is need of in- spiring leadership, and a leader must above all else have breadth of vision. The wise teacher will not allow her horizon to be limited by the four walls and the ceiling of her classroom. She will seek many and varied interests, not educa- tional only but civic and social. She must be an active member ot the com- munity, an intelligent citizen sharing in all movements for progress and better- ment. Her interests should include, too, all that is significant and valuable in contemporary literature and the arts. A stimulating social life will give her judgment and tact in dealing with people, — which will be an asset in her work. Her own joy of living will reflect itself in her pupils and make her schoolroom a place of happiness as well as instruction. Moreover, from a broad and active life comes a sense of proportion, — the ability to see life steadily and see it whole. Too often a teacher magnifies the small disasters and trials of the schoolroom into tragedies, and her depression and discouragement are communicated to the class. How much a sense of humor helps in such circumstances! A wise educator once said that when he heard happy laughter coming from a schoolroom, he knew that there was a good teacher. School is not a preparation tor life, but a vital part ot life itself. A child ' s school days should be not only a time of intellectual and spiritual growth but also a source of pleasant memories. A good teacher exerts a profound influence on the lives of her pupils. She lays the foundation for their future; she encourages them to aim high; she inspires them to follow lofty ideals. She seldom knows how tar-reaching her influence has been. But when former pupils achieve distinction and note- worthy success, many a teacher silently asserts her claim, and proudly whispers, ' These were mine ' . As we say farewell to Teachers College, let the ivy be a symbol of our steady and constant growth, ever-widening influence, and higher and higher aspiration. Success will crown our work, it we remain true to our ideals and to our college motto, Education for Service. My classmates, in parting, what finer message can I give you than this: Make you the world a little bit better and more beautiful because you have been in it!

Edythe Sniper ■174 Class Mistory This is the story of a girl you know. She is a composite personality; you and your classmates are part of her. The story begins in the summer of 1942. Betsy (B.T.C.), our heroine, had been graduated from high school after a flurry of Class activities, college-entrance-board exams, and applications concerning her higher education. One memorable day the postman brought an official letter informing her that the Boston Teachers College would accept her as a member of the Class of 1946. Her first task was to select an elective from an imposing array of sub- jects. Which to choose? Finally a decision was reached, the form filled out, and Betsy was able to enjoy a carefree vacation. — her last for some time. In September she started off bravely to meet her Sophomore sister, and to be introduced to her college. The corridor and the reception room were crowded with shy Freshmen and hospitable Sophomores. That morning Betsy attended Assembly for the first but, by no means, the last time. Busy days followed! She became acquainted with her classmates, took various tests, and tried to memorize her program. On Monday when classes met, Betsy learned what real work meant. Besides her elective, she had History, English Composition, Psychology, Health Education, Model School Observation, and a weekly conference with Miss Sallaway. Assuredly the Freshmen would not eat any idle bread! By the time Betsy began to know what was what and who was who, the first class activity caused a ripple of excitement. Freshman Week! Until then the Freshmen had thought their Sophomore sisters friendly people, but for a week these human beings became inhuman tyrants. Imagine! Betsy must wear her hair in pigtails and curlers; she must sport mismated socks, use no make-up, and at all times carry an umbrella. The hazing ended in bang-up fashion for the Freshmen, with a trip in-town, the selling of War Stamps on the Common, and, last but not least, a movie and supper as guests of the Sopho- mores. In November, National Education Week was celebrated by a Par- ents ' Day, when Betsy ' s mother met her teachers, attended Assembly and had tea in Collins Hall. As Thanksgiving approached, all the students worked enthusiastically tor the Welfare Club, filling holiday baskets for needy families. On December the seventh the war was one year old. Everyone at Teachers College had been devoting time and effort to war service. Salvage was collected. Red Cross bandages were prepared, and Stamps and Bonds sold. It was a proud day when Betty Paget, the president of the Self-Government Association, presented Dr. Kennedy with a Minute-man Banner for ninety per cent college participation. This badge of honor remained in the lower corri- dor until victory was ours. What a hurried month December was! Club activities were under way, students were serving in the Settlement Houses, and spare time was devoted to Christmas shopping. The Christmas program began with the Literary Club ' s presentation of the Second Shepherd ' s Play, with Ellen Devine, Eleanore Donovan, and Louise Downey Freshmen members of the cast. Then at Assembly one day, a display of gayly-wrapped Christmas packages gave a festive air to the hall. Every year the Boston kindgarten teachers send these gifts to the college for distribution ■(75 to the children in the City Hospital. The Christmas Assembly with its Nativity Play and carols was beautiful and unforgettable. New Year ' s Day marked the end of the holidays. Mid-year exams were approaching, and were the Freshmen excited! But they came, they saw, they conquered! February ushered in the second semester, and conferences with Dr. Kennedy over marks sent everyone into a wild spurt of studying. Then another interruption in the even tenor of college life occurred. Rationing weekl Classes were suspended, while teachers distributed books, and students served as ushers and aides in general. The year was passing as if by magic! Betsy was busy compiling a poetry anthology; she had a gay time at the Sophomore dance; there were lectures and more lectures, and as ever, plenty of home work. Before she could realize it, finals were at hand. No time for sociability during the Exam period! At last, courses successfully passed, Betsy received her playground assignment, and went off for a summer of rest and play and work. In September she returned to college a full-fledged Sophomore. As an old-timer, she enjoyed watching the timid newcomers. Her program seemed appalling. Education, English, Biology, Music and Art Appreciation, her elec- tive Math, and Model School certainly would keep her busy during college hours. For the late afternoon and evening there were such extras as Playground, Manly, and Biology assignments. However, there was some leaven of fun to lighten the work. Betsy and her classmates, no longer victims, were gleeful onlookers during Freshman Week. Then, too, excitement reigned because Trudy had returned from the vacation with an engagement ring. Her lovely diamond was greeted with Ohs! and Ahs! Class elections resulted in the excellent choice of Eleanorose Boyle as president. Activities crowded upon activities: Club Week, continued war work, and more rationing. The black clouds of conflict still darkened the land, and the war was not only the chief topic of conversation but also the chief concern of everyone. Christmas approached, — another war-time Christmas. The As- sembly was particularly beautiful, — perhaps in contrast to the troubled world. The carols, with their promise of Peace on earth, were sung by a vested choir, and the Nativity Play spoke its message of Good will to men. Beginning with the new year, the Self-Government Association pre- sented a series of Assembly programs on the course of the war. These were supplemented by Dr. Kennedy ' s interesting and valuable talks on the trend ot events. The Sophomores enjoyed a great triumph by winning the inter-class competition staged by the Drama Club. Betsy, as star of the cast, was acclaimed lustily. How much everyone enjoyed the Self-Government Dance at the New England Mutual Hall, the hall for dances that year! Nor must we neglect to mention Junior Week, with all its gay excitement, which made the Sophomores realize the good times in store for them. The climax of the celebration was an all-college dance at the Parker House. Playgrounds opened with the spring vacation. Betsy said that the interludes called vacations were really times when she could catch up on her assignments; then, the Public Library was her second home. However; she survived, and returned to college for all the rush and hurry of the final term. Work and fun combined to make the closing days exciting and enjoyable. Betsy had completed that second year of her college career! Introducing Junior Miss! The year opened with a surprise, tor Betsy 4 76 } and the other upper-classmen were sent into the schools to help with organization. When they finally arrived at Teachers College, classes were in full swing. Betsy found that she was to play big sister to two Freshmen, as the entering class was large. Freshman Week, if not appreciated by the youngsters, was great fun for the Juniors, now in the driver ' s seat. The most exciting incident involved Ellen Devine, two innocent Freshmen, and a co-operative police department. The Juniors became well acquainted with Miss Trommer, and they practically lived at the Model School. Everyone missed Imelda McElaney, who had joined the Waves, but the class was proud to be represented in the Navy. A happy event was the return to college of Margaret Owen, who received a warm welcome. On Cap and Gown Day the Juniors had the distinction of acting as hostesses to the proud Seniors when they received their academic robes. Thanksgiving arrived, but no turkey! The traditional bird of the teast had deserted Boston. However, the students as usual sent out the annual holiday baskets. No one had any spare time on her hands, for war service combined with college work really demanded a 30-hour day. Among the new courses tor Juniors was the favorite Children ' s Literature. How much Betsy and her classmates enjoyed hearing again the stories that were dear to them in the long ago! The Christmas vacation passed all too quickly, and when the new year dawned, the wish in every heart was that 1945 might bring peace to the saddened world. Suddenly, just before six o ' clock on April the twelfth, the radio announced, President Roosevelt is dead! The words stunned the nation into a shocked silence. Time seemed to stand still, as the people mourned their leader, stricken just as victory was in sight. Flags at half-staff, black-draped buildings, tolling bells, muted music on the radio, and memorial services in schools and churches spoke the country ' s grief. Then the nation went on with the great task yet to be finished, and daily the news from the European theater of war became more encouraging. All year the Juniors had been planning for their Week, and when it had come and gone, the consensus was that it was the finest Junior Week ever held in any college at any time. The program was a round of exciting events: a Mother-Daughter Tea at Filene ' s, an evening at the Pops, a banquet at the Smith House, and as a grand finale — a Prom, at which the girls were all glam- orous and the young men splendidly handsome in their uniforms. On May seventh, the long-awaited V-E Day brought joy and hope to the nation. Of course, the war was not over, and Betsy and her college mates had brothers, relatives, and friends in the Pacific zone. There were anxious hearts still. The class gave another of its members to the Service, Rita Howley leaving to join the Waves. The Navy ' s gain was Teachers College ' s loss. At the Class Day and Commencement exercises of their Senior friends, the Class of 1945, the Juniors served as ushers. Just one more year, they thought, and it will be our turn. A Senior at last! September 1945 found Betsy again in the schools assisting in the busy routine of the opening days. But how she longed to return to college in all the glory and dignity of Seniordom! The first great event was, of course, the investiture of the Seniors m their caps and gowns. The ceremony took place in the courtyard before the assembled college. During the summer, on August the fourteenth, V-J Day had brought an end to the war, so that the Class of 1946 had the happiness of receiving the academic regalia under the star of peace. Virginia Houghton, the gracious class president, gave an interesting account of the origin of the cap and gown as a symbol of scholastic distinction. For a week all the Seniors were students together in the college. Ellen Devine, president of the Self-Government Association, presided at the Assemblies with grace and dignity. The week ended with an outing in the Blue Hills, with hot dogs for refreshment, and Edythe Sniper ' s guitar for enter- tainment. Then Senior I embarked on the regular college curriculum, and Senior II went into the schools for five months of practice teaching under the direction of an experienced teacher. Miss Brown, to whom Betsy was assigned, was a wonderful guide. She helped Betsy prepare her lessons, advised her in class- room management, and encouraged her in every way. Betsy survived her two marking visits; indeed she was told that her lessons were excellent. When it was time to change schools, she said farewell very reluctantly to her first class, but she found the new assignment as interesting and pleasant as the first. By this time she had become quite accustomed to the teacher ' s side of the desk. During the Christmas holidays the Prom was held at the Sheraton, and despite the weather (the worst blizzard of the season visited Boston that eve- ning), everyone had a glorious time. With the second semester came the change ot classes, and tor the rest of the year SI was out and SII in. It did not take the girls of SII long to accustom themselves to life within the college walls, although at first the pro- gram seemed appalling. The students said that a Senior could be identified by the large number of books which she carried under her arm. Donna Nolan took her place as Assembly leader in a way that made her classmates proud of her. Then, too, there was another sparkling diamond to be admired, for Mary Mc- Devitt had joined the ranks of engaged girls. Meanwhile the Lampas staff was busy with copy, proofreading, art work, and the financial problem of making ends meet. The Lampas dance at the Copley Plaza was a grand success: The weatherman sent a perfect evening, the music was an invitation to dance, and everyone was happy, — the girls, the servicemen in uniform, the returned veterans in civvies, and the invited guests. There was for the Seniors one cloud on the horizon, — the substitute exams in May. These over, the students drew a s igh of relief and devoted all the time they could spare from study for Finals to preparations for Senior Week. Senior Week is a gala period in college life, and always a happy memory. The first event on the calendar was the inspiring Baccalaureate Ad- dress by President Kennedy on Friday evening. Saturday was Class Day. Never had Betsy and her classmates looked lovelier than, when led by Louise Downey, the class marshal, they formed the class numerals on the green lawn of the courtyard. In their pretty gowns they were a veritable rainbow of color. The dance in the evening was a fitting climax to a joyful day. With Rita Mc- Mahon a delightful toastmistress, the banquet was a feast of reason and a flow of soul, and the Pop Concert was a real musical treat. Friday, June the seventh, was the day of days, Commencement, — the culmination of four years of serious study and earnest effort. As the students in dignified procession marched across the platform to receive the precious sheep- skins, the reward of work well done, everyone present wished Godspeed to the Class of 1946. Louise Downey { 78 } Acknowledgments The Class of 1946 extends sincere thanks to the Lampas StafF and to all those who contributed to the success of the Senior Annual.

The Self-Government Association is one of the most vital organizations in our college. All our activities have been planned and guided by its competent officers. Assembly programs, Parents ' Day celebrations, Christmas parties, as well as dances and social affairs, have been happy and successful occasions under their able leadership. The Association has grown steadily more important in promoting the welfare and the best interests of the college. As in every true democracy, each student is responsible for her own conduct, and on this principle, the Association has flourished and will continue to grow. 81 } pampas Staff Editor s-in-Chief Margaret Owen Rita McMahon Business Managers Dorothy Morrissey Louise Downey Literary Editors ' Gertrude Goldberg Flileen Kibnck Section Editors Marguerite Hughes Veronica Fallon Advertising Managers Edythe Sniper Eleanor Donovan Photograph Editors Louise McCoy Shirley Saidel Snapshot Editors Ann Joseph Dorothea Lynch Club Editors Mary Cavallaro Pauline Cavallaro Evelyn Singer Art Editors Eleanorose Boyle Mary McDevitt Virginia Houghton Leone Trainor Genevieve Keohane Ruth Whelton Miss Kee Advisers Dr. Nash •(82} Mr. Shea ELEA ' iCi Ot)E Bl ' YLE NilRGINlft tiaJSHTON GtNEVltVE KEOHANL mARYN DEVITT LtONl tRAINOR RUTttWntLTOU Zhe Junior Class Right onward drive — The port, well worth the cruise, is near.

Members of the Welfare Club, working as individuals and through committees, helped this year in many activities for the good of Boston school children and of war-abused children. Our Freshmen were welcomed as volunteer workers at six settlement houses; our Thanksgiving dinners to the families of school children, and our Christmas gifts to the Boston City Hospital Children ' s Department were received joyfully. Kindergarten and elementary-school teach- ers asked our help for children who needed warm clothing or milk for school luncheons. We also collected clothing asked for in community drives; and from generous donations of the faculty and student members, and from candy-sale profits, we contributed in the name of the College to the Community Fund, the Red Cross, vacation funds for ill and crippled children, and various organized charities tor children. We had a busy and useful year, — one which made us more sensitive to the needs of many school children, and which gave us the satis- faction of having helped to give some of them a little more happiness. 87 } RuiH McLaughlin President Phvi.i.is Gallagher .

The constitution, the uniforms, and the programs all underwent changes. With a new policy of enrollment, the Association was able to claim the third largest membership in the college. Various activities during the year included golf in the early fall, and later volley ball. In the winter months, basketball, competing for popularity with ping-pong and badminton, became the central sport. Tennis matches, as well as other parties, during which the members bowled, skated, or swam, finished a gala year. The sportsmanship exhibited in every game, and the desire to win for the team instead ot for in- dividual glory, made the competitions memorable occasions. Through the co- operation of the director, the officers, and the members of the Club, the year 1946 was an outstanding success in the annals of the Athletic Association. 4 89 I Marif Byrnes . , President F.i.i.A Harrington I ' ice-President Jane Levenson . .

Some good account at last. The Commercial Club had original objectives of the furthering ot the classroom skills and interests of its members and the providing of opportunities for its members to meet socially. When last year ' s seniors, elementary-major students, continued the Club, they did so with the latter purpose in mind. This year, we decided to continue the Club as a social group and enjoyed, thanks to the good planning of our officers, a skating party and four evenings at the theatre. Moreover, we have rediscovered our first objective also, and have had enjoyable meetings during which we typed and stenciled material for elementary-school classrooms and for college assignments. {90} Veronica Fali.on President Dorothea Morrissev First Vice-President Alice McLaughlin Second J ' ice-Presidoil Therese Paget Dorothy Ford Miss Ammidown Secretarx Treasure) Fnciiltv Adviser Zhe Current- Science Club ' Men live to wonder, and that is the seed of science. The members of the Current-Science Club believe that through the Club they have obtained a much deeper appreciation of many of the ordinary things of life with which they come in contact every day. Through the lectures, scien- tific movies, photography, and demonstrations, a variety of interesting fields ot knowledge have been brought before the members. One of the Club ' s most memorable excursions is the delightful trip to Antrim, New Hampshire. The annual Christmas Sale, the out-of-door supper at Mr. Lamprey ' s home in Sud- bury, and the visit to the Harvard Medical Museum are some of our yearly activities. Whether interested or not in following a scientific career, all the members have through the meetings of the Science Club become more keenly aware of the wonders of nature. {91 } Marv D ' Amf.mo President Marguerite Hughes First Vice-President Gerai.dine Gai.vin Second Vice-President Josephine Barra . .

In October the Drama Club invited all interested students to come to try out for the Club. Those students with a love of the dramatic found in their fellow-members an attentive and helpful audience. Other students dis- covered scope for their talents in the stage-management crew. To the latter, the unsung heroines of our productions, we owe a deep debt of gratitude. The traditional Nativity Play, the Valentine Fantasy, the Class Competition, and the Farewell Party have made 1946 a year to be remembered in the annals of the Drama Club. {92} Edvthe Sniper Glenna Marcus Ruth Kravetskv Jacqueline Hupe Mlle.

Our love of music finds expression in membership in the Music Club. The activities of the club are varied: those students who wish to sing are members of the Glee Club; others join the instrumental groups. Social meetings, held throughout the year, provide enjoyable times for the members. Programs planned by the Music Club are presented on many occasions, including Educa- tion Week, the Christmas Assembly, and, as a climax of the years ' work, at the Commencement exercises. [95 } War A( tmties War Stamps Veronica Fallon Maureen McGarr ' M. Donna Nolan Red Cross Jane Levenson Louise McCoy Faculty Adviser Mr. Vosburgh The war activities carried on in Teachers College during the past four years aided the students in contributing to a program designed to bring victory to our nation. The War-Stamp Committee worked untiringly for the sale of stamps and bonds, and many times attained the goal of ninety per cent partici- pation. Another feature of the war work consisted of rolling bandages for the Red Cross, and helping this organization in any way possible. During the various rationing periods the students gave willingly of their time and energy to serve as ushers, or as aides in giving information to applicants, and in dis- tributing and collecting material. The hopes and prayers of the past years have finally been realized now that the war is ended and victory ours. Every student in the College may well feel that because of her co-operation some share of the victory is hers. 4 96 } Ruth Wk«ltoi Jn a Clgkter Vein gL£ASOnoi Cife Js a Cimerick To a college that ' s on the Fenway Came a class of fair maidens one day; Now four years have gone by, And with hearts gay and high, We sing in the Edward Lear way. We young Freshmen soon learned our Rule One, That Assembly is no place for fun, — And just when the bells ring, And what hymn we shall sing — This new life kept us all on the run! Mr. Thorndike ' s wise laws of true learning! Then exam time with eyes red and burning! Fifty stories to read With due care and with speed! Oh, how our poor brains kept a-churning! In the Sophomore Class at T.C. We learned how to pronounce A-B-C, And those poor pools did loom To produce a thick gloom, That was deepened by Pale Melancholy . Then in science we met some cute bugs, And life cycles and cells and new drugs. We learned about Morgan, Just what makes an organ. And green frogs that once uttered kerchugs. {98} We Juniors read Winnie the Pooh, Legends, fables, and poetry, too; The Elephant ' s Child And The Call of the Wild; Sailor Sinbad was part of our crew. Then into a hat we must reach To draw lots for our chances to teach. How we trembled and shook. Though we ' d read every book, And had practiced each word and each speech. When the time came to don cap and gown, Then we Seniors must haste into town. To change cap size eleven For one of size seven, And rush home to move hems up or down. To the gay Senior Prom in fine form, We went through the winter ' s worst storm. We conquered the Tango But failed the Fandango — How we thrilled at each grand uniform! And though in those last busy days We wandered around in a haze. With overdue themes Disrupting our dreams. Now on sheepskins we joyfully gaze. Eleanorose Boyle 99 Class Will We, the Class of 1946, being completely brainless and totally irresponsible, do proclaim this to be our last will and testament. The following gifts we do bequeath to those we leave behind us: To Dr. Kennedy : Our sincerest thanks for the kindness and consideration he has so generously given us during our four years at Teachers College. (We have moments of sanity.) To Miss Sallaway: An improved Elevated System, which will transport students safely to college without constant tie-ups. To the English Department: Moving pictures of all required novels, in order to eliminate the necessity of reading them, and thereby give the students more time for extra-curricular activities. To the Education Department: A single Standard Test which will show the reading disabilities, the I.Q. ' s, and the mental ages of children of every age, so that there will be no question on the part of the students as to which test should be given when and for what. To the Physical Education Department: A modernistic gym which will show off the new suits to the best advantage. To the Language Department: Annual trips to the foreign countries, so that the members of the department, whose ears have been tortured by our strange accents, may have the pleasure of hearing the languages spoken correctly. To Miss Ammidown: A shortage of fish food, — the only way to prevent the overfeeding of the fish by their too generous student caretakers. To Miss Wadsworth: Students who realize what is meant by an over-night book. To Miss Given: We have given a two-day college-week, so that she will have three days fewer to worry about when making out programs. To Miss Lulu Clark : Our gratitude, for without her assistance there would be no exams!!! To Miss Elizabeth O ' Brien: Senior students with perfectly pitched voices, who are able to sing from low C to high C without hesitan — C. To Miss Driscoll: A sunrise at 10:00 A.M. and a sunset at 2:00 P.M., for the benefit of those geography students who are late risers and early retirers. To Aliss McCarthy : A welcome to the T. C. office. To Miss Kee: The key to the U. S. Treasury, so that, in the future, the Lampas can be easily financed. To Miss Pettee: A class of Juniors who can put all the ties and bobby-sox on the correct letters. To Miss Trommer: Her ideal student, — one with perfect poise and self-control, who does not yawn, play with her hair, or open books during lectures. To Dr. Nash: A class of o«r-handed Seniors, who will have their Lampas com- pleted two weeks after the opening of college. To Mr. O ' Meara: The cost of all the test tubes we broke and never told about. To Mr. Vosbiirgh: Extra courses of study for those Juniors who constantly forget. to bring their copies to class, — something we never did. OOO } To Miss Donovan: A new skeleton, complete with all its members, as company for poor Mr. Bones. To Dr. Regan: A thirty-hour day. To Miss Midgley: A new set of bound textbooks, badly needed in the Oral Ex- pression course. To Mr. Read: Sunny Southern Skies! To Mrs. Barry: Thanks for every A she inscribed on our Report Cards. To Mr. Shea: A group of girls destined to become future Rembrandts or Sargents. To Mr. Bitzer: A pamphlet describing how many sheets of paper there are in a quire, a gross, and a ream, — thereby saving him many hours of explanation. To Miss Kallen: Five colorful smocks, one for each day of the school week. To Dr. Gerry:A new and improved Intelligence Test, which will place us all in the genius class, where, of course, we belong. To Mrs. Hessian: A lie-detector to aid her in determining whether a student is really ill, — or what? To Miss Leary: A radar attachment on the telephone board, thus enabling her to locate students without any trouble. To the Self -Government Association: Authority! To the Athletic Association: Nets with not more than the required number of holes. To the Welfare Club: A chicken farm to supply plump birds tor the annual Thanksgiving baskets. To the French Club: The song, Paris in the Spring. To the Literary Club: An electric dish-washer. To the Biology Club: Insects with zippers to make dissection easy.

To the Sophomores: We bequeath courage to face the coming two years. To the Freshmen: We bequeath our exemplary conduct in the college corridors, — ever a joy to the teachers, and an inspiration to all. The following philanthropists bequeath these individual gifts: Individual Gifts Louise McCoy leaves a list of the telephone numbers of all newspapers and photographers in Boston.

Evelyn Singer leaves her discovery ot the unknown. Veronica Fallon leaves her keen sense of humor, which was much appreciated by her classmates. Rita McMahon leaves her talent as a dress-designer.

The 1946 Model— Miss TeeCee We bequeath this model Miss T.C. for future students to emulate: The eyes of Ellen Devine The nose of Virginia Houghton The complexion of Leone Trainor The smile of Ruth Whelton The hair of Grace Sprague The voice of Shirley Saidel The figure of Ann Joseph The personality of Mary McDevitt The vitality of Dorothy Morrissey The friendliness of Florence McCarthy The poise of Genevieve Keohane The scholastic ability of Gertrude Goldberg The executive power of Dorothea Lynch We, the undersigned do testify that this is the last will and testament of the Class of 1946 of the Teachers College of the City of Boston.

Now we say an affectionate farewell to our gracious mother. May her lessons remain with us, and may our lives be blest by her wise counsels and in- spiring guidance! bt « U Mvertisements COMPLIMENTS OF The Self-Government Association Compliments of THE WELFARE CLUB Compliments of SAWYER DRUG CO.
