As the actual life here recedes gradually into the past, yowx Lampas will help you do these things. May you all from heights of success find it often a source of pleasant recollections! As you leave, 1 pray that God will bless you wherever you may go — whatever may be your work in life. c C ,. ' - - - - ' .

Miss Katharine Cecilia McDonnell Assistant Superintendent of the Boston Public Schools No matter how busy Miss McDonnell is, she has always been helpful and inspiring in her association with us. She is ever a welcome guest, and we hope that for many years the destiny of Teachers College may have the benefit of her wise guidance. B 1947 Zo Our faculty To you who have directed our preparation for the honored profession to which we aspire, we here express sincere gratitude. We hope that in our career as teachers we may be true to the ideals and principles presented to us by your inspiring example. Never shall we forget the happy and memorable years which you have given us at Teach- ers College. B LAMPAS Dr. William Henry Joseph Kennedy Kindness, wisdom, vision, and culture — all prerequisites of the true teacher — are exemplified to their fullest extent in Dr. Kennedy. Always our friend, he has inspired us by his interest and sympathy. Quietly but firmly he has guided us to the realization of our ambitions. Our success is in every way his. To Dr. Kennedy We pledge our deepest appreciation and our lasting respect. B 1947 Miss Margaret Mary Sallaway Devoted and persevering, Miss Sallaway has worked constantly to further the interests of our college. Her claim on our gratitude Is well founded. Our response is a spontaneous Thank you. B LAM PAS Miss Julia Edna Dickson Although Miss Dickson, by her retirejnent, has deprived future classes at Teachers College of a fine influence, we are sure that she will not withdraw completely from the educational field which needs her wisdom, experience, and guidance.

President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Class of 1947 can be justly proud of its Senior Class officers. Through their efficient leadership and friendly co-operation, our class, although divided for practice teaching, remained united in spirit and in its interest in all college activities. They worked hard to plan a program of events that would make the senior year happy and memorable. To them and to our class officers of other years we extend our thanks and congratulations. {25}. 1947 B Anne Abrahamsen n -s. c I A -h Anne ' s shining blond hair is the envy of her classmates. Her ever-ready quips, accompanied by a hearty chuckle, have enlivened otherwise monotonous hours. Wholesome and natural, Anne has been an important and high-scoring member of various Athletic Club teams. To her, vacation time is sports time, with long hours spent in saihng, swimming, playing tennis, and biking. Her gorgeous tan never came out of a bottle; it ' s a genuine product of the sun. Anne ' s individualism, her high spirits, and her fun-loving nature combine to make her a thoroughly delightful friend.

Her smile is even brighter than her shining auburn hair. An ardent lover of sports, she spends most of her spare time during the winter months on skis, skimming swift- ly along, never happier than when participating in her favorite recreation. Her athletic prowess and her ability as a leader made her an excellent president of the Athletic Association.

Per- haps that interest is responsible for the dihgence with which she pursues her studies in Spanish. So well has she captured the Spanish spirit that she might be a Castilian senorita moving through our halls. One of the few equestrian enthusiasts in our class, she spends much of her leisure time riding. Studious, intelligent, and well-read, Shirley is usually in the forefront of current-book dis- cussions at the Literary Club.

For when she catches your glance, the picture changes, and a sparkHng smile lights up her face. You are equally likely to find her sitting quietly with a book or chatting gayly with a group of friends. A pleasant, soft, yet lively voice, and an unhurried, poised manner complete the portrait of a charming girl, — a girl dependable and thorough, never remiss in performing a dut) ' or in fulfilling a trust.

Her shining golden hair and dancing blue eyes are like a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day. Although her diminutive figure does not suggest the athlete, she handles a tennis racket like a champion, bats a volley ball with vigor, and sits a horse like a cavalry colonel. These accom- phshments make her a definite asset to the Athletic Association. She is an excellent student of Spanish and one of her dearest wishes is to visit Mexico in the not too distant future. Elective: Spanish Welfare Club; Athletic Association; Literary Club. {30} B C LAMPAS Beverly Marie Brandt Over and over again we ' ve asked ourselves, How does she do it? When assignments were due, there was never any last-minute rush- ing around for Bev. We decided that it was her unusual gift for organization that enabled her to have each and every task com- pleted on time, and still have leisure for relaxation and fun. Her sweet disposition and gracious manner have been valuable assets to her as Literary Editor of the Lampas. Her outstanding ability and her high standards of scholastic achievement were the basis for her choice as Class Essayist. Conscientious, painstaking, and in- dustrious, Bev will be a fine addition to the faculty of any school.

Do you hear a sweet soprano harmonizing in the locker- rooms or along the Fenway? It is almost certain to be Polly, whose charming voice rises clear and true above all others in the music class. The dark brown eyes of this youngest member of our class brighten whenever anyone mentions a rare stamp, as she is an ardent philatelist. Another way to arouse her interest is to mention poetry, for one of her greatest ambitions is to publish some of her verses. Maybe in future years Polly, as a famous poet, will bring honor to our class.

She has hobbies that make ours look like mere child ' s play. Her interest in period furniture and rare china has led her to study deeply on these subjects, so that we look upon her as a fount of information. Every spare moment she spends browsing round in the Museum of Fine Arts, always discovering something new and fascinating. Another hobby is travel, and we quite envy her as she tells of trips to Florida and Cuba. Being a girl who does not idly wish, Irene is planning to teach in far-away places. Happy landings, comrade!

The warmth of her laugh- ter and the spirit of friendship which we have enjoyed at Teachers College seem to assure her success as a teacher. What a happy place her classroom will be! College days rolled by with many of her classmates unaware that Betty is quite an authority on the rock formation of New England and also its sea food. A certain shyness and a reluctance to call attention to her accomplishments have kept this secret. Just mention a trip to New Hampshire to make her wide-eyed with excitement! In our hearts Betty will always have a place as a loyal, sympathetic friend.

Her Marie-Antoinette hair-do and her elaborate footwear hardly suggest a sports ' fan, yet she surprises us by her interest in and her knowledge of baseball. Perhaps it is her enthusiasm for the rhumba that makes her such an eager worker on social committees, but more likely it is her desire to ensure the success of our college activities. Her clear soprano voice is an asset to the Music Club, and her warm-hearted, friendly spirit has made many a shy girl feel happy and at ease.

Margie can teach anyone the intricacies of the magical south-of-the-border rhythms. Nor are her musical talents evidenced only by dancing, as she has a beautiful singing voice. A lover of music and merriment — that ' s Margie! Her blond halo is always arranged in the latest style, — her face always bright with good cheer. Don ' t think, however, that Margie is all play — she has brains as well as sparkle, ambition as well as personality. Good luck Margie! Here ' s to a really en- thusiastic rooter for the Class of ' 47!

If there ' s a job to be done, she can be depended upon to do a good one; if it ' s a good time that ' s at hand, she ' s always ready. We shall remember Clare for her warm heart, her sweet dis- position, her ever ready sympathy, and her pleasant comradeship. Why is it that any mention of a Prom on a certain snowy evening always provokes such a reminiscent smile from Clare? Clare with- out her little green car, the Buddies, and a twinkle, just wouldn ' t seem like our own lovable Clare.

Her favorite topic of conversation is her brothers; her chief interests, — dancing, traveling, and teaching. During her period of practice teaching, she revealed a gift for handling a class efficiently and pleasantly. Look for an auburn feather cut, listen for lively chatter, — and you will find Barbara the center of a group of interested friends.

Slie is a student of many and varied accom- plishments, her interests ranging from the scientific — chemistry and math — to the Fine Arts — dancing and drawing. There is a dramatic air about Mary that is arresting and delightful. In class and club offices she showed herself to be both efficient and imagina- tive. To think of Mary is to recall her red-gold hair, her stately, graceful bearing, and her gentle disposition.

OoVi-M T)oa-vie Charming and well-poised, Pat is one of the most vivacious members of our class. She has so many interests, both in college and outside, that where she gets her seemingly boundless energy is a constant source of wonder. Just mention a sailboat and a fair wind, if you wish to see Pat ' s green eyes sparkle, for she is a successful and popu- lar boating instructor at the Charles River Yachting Club. Music hath charms is true of Pat ' s lovely voice, and explains her enthusi- asm for her favorite college course. A capable, earnest worker and a true lover of children, Pat has surely chosen the right profession.

A competent and industrious worker on various commit- tees, she could be relied upon to brighten dull moments with witty remarks. Anne is one of our outstanding students, especially in English. Her facile pen produced papers which often proved a bright spot in the piles facing the teachers for correction. Discus- sions in sociology revealed that Anne had thought deeply on many social problems, and we often found her disagreeing with the authori- ties on this point or that. Success and happiness always, Anne!

Whether it is an up-do or a long bob, the style is always attractive and becoming. So also are the tailored costumes which she wears with such pleasing effect. Anne has been one of the most diligent and energetic workers for the Class of ' 47, and has given generously of her artistic talents in service to the college. Her love for children and her ability to guide them were evidenced during her practice teaching. Good luck to Anne of the sweet voice and quiet courtesy! l.ampas Staff (Art Editor); Welfare Club (Aid ' 44, Chairman of Milk Committee ' 45); Alt Club; Current-Science Club; Drama Club; Literary Club. {42} B LAMPAS Margaret Virginia Dunn Lovely, blond Ginny is one of our gracious ladies, always courteous and thoughtful. She is a delightful combination of ambition, sin- cerity, congeniality, and enthusiasm. Can you imagine Ginny without Mac, — or without her gay laugh? Anyone who has seen her in the Art class or in the Gym knows where Ginny ' s talents lie. Outstanding in college activities, she has quietly but surely demon- strated her capability and vitality. Among underclassmen as well as among her own classmates, Ginny has a host of friends.

Her ability has been evidenced in every task she has undertaken, including her service as Co-Editor- in-Chief of the Lampas, and as Junior Class President. Pat is very modest about her talents and seldom speaks of her two loves — verse-writing and violin-playing, but she is gifted in both these arts. We shall remember her for her quiet dignity, prefect courtesy, and warm friendliness, as well as for her efficient service to the Lampas.

Those of us who have had the pleasure of working with her know the depth of her warm sincerity and earnest co- operation in matters scholastic and social. She puts class before self, the real test of a college student ' s spirit. Even on the darkest day you can look to her for a reassuring smile and an encouraging word. So many good things in one small package — a lovely voice to add to our Music Club, dancing feet to liven up every Prom, and a sweet and gracious charm for a crowning touch.

You will see the suggestion of a girHsh twinkle in her eye. Glance again! You will find the nonchalance and aloofness of a sophisticated young lady. A clever artist, Agnes exercises her talent at every opportunity; an excellent dancer, she is a graceful figure on the dance floor. If in the springtime, you wish to witness a good tennis game, follow Agnes and Irene Burns to the Harvard courts. Our impression of Agnes is of an attractive brunette with luminous brown eyes, a languid air, and an artistic temperament.

When there ' s something to be done, she ' s always ready to do her share — and more! Whatever she undertakes, the work is done pleasantly, cheerfully, and efficiently. Alert blue eyes, long brown hair, a tall graceful figure — that ' s our picture of Dot. Her lithe step suggests an active sports ' enthusiast. In college and out, Dot ' s the ideal all-round girl.

Pretty and trim, she is particularly attractive in blue. How her roguish Irish eyes twinkle at the mention of California! We shall remember her as we so often saw her in the college corridors, at- tempting to balance her many books and note-books, and at the same time voicing decided opinions on the opportunities afforded by the West. Holy Cross, particularly its baseball team, has a staunch champion in Gerry. Her determination is to teach some- where in the West. Wherever she may go, dependable, lovable Gerry will take with her our best wishes for success.

Her personality is warm and cordial; she makes friends easily, and better still keeps her friends because she is sincere and loyal. At T. C. Margie became famous for her bon-mots, which were always accompanied by a twinkle in her eyes. She is a conscientious stu- dent, with well-considered opinions of her own, which she can defend intelligently. Always sympathetic and understanding, Margie has won a place in our hearts.

The shining light of the Biology Lab, Norma, with adept, sure hands, could prepare a slide or culture that would do credit to a trained technician. With one magic twist, she would bring the microscope into focus — and with not one broken cover glass! We could but envy her — and try to imitate her.

Although she often found it difficult to spare time from her college work for her favorite sports, — tennis, swimming, and sailing, — bicychng fitted well into her schedule. Usually she rode to college, and her bike became a familiar object in the corridor. In the Ath- letic Association Fran was an enthusiastic member of the volley- ball team. As Photograph Editor of the Lampas, she performed her duties with the quiet thoroughness that characterizes all her work.

Though you might think that so tiny a person could not survive the rigors of basic training, Rita not only did, but spent a year in the service in California, thus partly satisfying her craving for travel. Her interesting adventures have enabled her to make many contributions, both practical and humorous, to class discussions. An enthusiastic baseball fan, she was an eloquent leader in locker-room discussions on the relative merits of the teams in the recent pennant race. Rita does not let her many outside interests interfere with her college work. Her French she expects to use when her dreams of future travels come true.

How we enjoyed listening to her witty accounts of many a college-day adventure into which her boundless energy led her! Her warm generous heart and her willing hands made her valuable whenever help was needed. She proved always a friend worth having, — sincere, reliable, loyal. Mary aspires to be an airline hostess. Wherever her field of endeavor may be, her sunny disposition and unselfish spirit will win her a host of new friends. Eleciivcs: Geography, Art, and English.

B LAMPAS Leona Eleanor Karlsberg Leona is very vivacious, but despite her gayety she is an earnest and studious worker. Her favorite sport is bowling, and her ani- mation may well account for all the spares and strikes which she achieves. Next to bowling in her list of interests is dancing, — and a very graceful dancer she is. We can easily understand her par- tiality for blue, when we consider her lovely eyes and her halo of fair curls.

Her golden hair is the same color tone as her happy disposition. Her conscientious application to her college work does not prevent her from having a gay social life. Never at a loss for words, she is a lively and interesting talker. Dancing, bowling, and theater-going are her favorite amusements. Interest in styles and excellent taste make Kay one of the most attractively dressed students in our college. Her kindness, her animation, and her loyalty will always endear her to her friends.

Always able to see the funny side of a situation, she delights us with succinct comments that give zest to her con- versation. We have been impressed, too, by the logic and common sense of her arguments. Her untiring work in the interests of the Newman Club will long be remembered by the girls she represented. For Peggy, the road to Alaska beckons. There, surely, her pluck and cheerful disposition would be assets. May success fling wide its doors to you, Peggy!

If you hear a hearty laugh, a cheerful song, Frannie is probably entertaining a group of her friends. She is a stimulating, jovial companion, — a warm-hearted, interested comrade. Our memory of this very active student will be of her refreshing natural manner and her generous co-operation. She excels not only in sports but in good sportsmanship. Her enthusiasm as a summer play-group leader is an indication of the sincerity and warmth of Frannie ' s love for children. A happy future to this vivacious, fun-loving Senior!

One of our outstanding students, she is a girl of varied talents; she is a graceful dancer and an adept at sports; her rapid calculations in the Math courses are the envy of less gifted mathematicians; and her work as a leader in the Self-Government Association speaks for itself. Mary is very modest and very efficient. Cheerful, gay, and tun-loving, this pretty colleen is a wonderful friend.

Music is a vital part of Betty ' s existence. Singing, playing the piano, and composing all serve to express the music in her heart. Wholly unselfconscious, she is an excellent mimic, and her clever impersonations are always greeted with appreciative chuckles. Her initiative and organizing ability should bring Betty success in the future.

No matter how exciting a situation may be, she remains calm; no matter how puzzling a problem, she thinks it over quietly before coming to a decision. Her conscientious devotion to her work has been an example to us. English and French are her favorite sub- jects and in both she is an excellent student. But Glenna is not all work and no play. A music lover and a proficient dancer, she en- joys listening to orchestral music as well as dancing to it. Because of her gentle, unassuming manner Glenna will always make friends.

How often we liave heard Marguerite humming a favorite air as she went along the corridors! We shall remember Marguerite as a friendly girl to whom we could turn for sympathetic understanding and gracious help- fulness.

Her quick wit is evi- denced when, without warning, she suddenly finds inspiration to recite a clever bit of original verse on any subject that occurs to her at the moment. Although Peggy tries modestly to keep her talents hidden, we discovered that she has been gifted with a sweet and beautiful voice. Her happy nature is reflected in her blue eyes which sparkle with kindness and understanding. Is it any wonder that she has so many friends!

There is something of a French effect about Alice, perhaps because her major interest in college has been the French language and literature. In the gymnasium when a student is needed to demonstrate an intricate dance step, the usual choice is Alice, who is a graceful and skilful dancer. She is an athlete, too, — an ardent tennis fan and a regular participant in the activities of the Athletic Association. The Lampas pays tribute to Alice for her conscientious and able work as Business Manager.

Her light- hearted gayety won the hearts of the locker-room group; her gen- erosity and sympathy gained the respect of her college mates. You ask in what she excels? Just watch her tell a story! Would you ever suspect that so diminutive a girl could open her eyes so wide? Remember Ruthie in the Art Class? In the locker-room? At Dartmouth? Truly she possesses a magic which drives away dull care! Wherever she may go, sunshine will follow.

Never at a loss for words, she talks animatedly and interestingly. Ever ready with an apt nickname for a friend, she accepts her own quite resignedly. Her artistic talents have always been at the service of the college. Throughout our four years at T. C, we have admired her clever attractive posters, which have adorned our walls and kept us informed of dances and other social activities. According to reports of her very successful prac- tice teaching, Mary seems destined for a brilliant career in her chosen profession. Welfare Club; Art Club; Athletic Association; Literary Club. {67} 1947 B Teresa Marie Montgomery To say that Terry is shy and sensitive would be to show only one side of her character; to say that she is usually chatty and cheery would be a truer description of her personality. By nature optimis- tic, Terry is earnest and intense. A spirited member of many T. C. organizations, she is also a zealous supporter of the Newman Club. To see her face light up, just use the magic word — Donny! To hear her laugh, just call her Bussie Montgomery! We shall always remember Terry ' s look of wonder — her joy in living.

No discussion is dull when she is there to contribute; no activity can lag with her enthusiasm to give it im- petus. Socially active, high-spirited, and hard-working, Ellie has won a place in all our hearts.

Her great interest is in the dramatic arts and the theater. Gifted with rare talent, she plays Claudia, the lead in the nationally famous Pilate ' s Daughter, the Mission Church Lenten drama. In the college she has appeared in roles in the annual Nativity drama, and she was a competent director of the Senior Class play. Under her quiet, winsome manner lies a mischievous merry spirit. Her sterling character, her sympathetic nature, her understanding of and keen interest in people will always win friends for Eunice.

Whether in this dramatic role or in the classroom, Rosalie is the same, — a pretty, modern girl.

Charming, refined, and scholar- ly, she is one of the outstanding students in our class. Always calm and unruffled, she meets each new experience intelligently and tact- fully. Under a poised manner, however, lie depths of comradeship and laughter. Among her interests are music and books. Her lovely voice has given us many hours of pleasure, while her leader- ship in the Literary Club has been instrumental in making it a vital and pleasurable part of college life. Margaret ' s originality and fresh- ness have been valuable in her service to the Lampas as Co-Editor- in-Chief.

Whenever a friend was needed, Margaret was there ready to offer a helping hand. Her interests were diversified, — sports, social activities, and, of course, her college work, especially science. Always an active member of the Current-Science Club, in the Senior year she served as its vice-president, and was a factor in making the Club ' s program particularly interesting and successful. During the war Margaret devoted many hours to work for the Red Cross, and in the Welfare Club she gave valuable service in Settlement Houses.

The chairmanship of many committees kept her so busy that she was really a symbol of perpetual motion. Every spare minute was spent discussing some problem concerning Senior class or Lampas activities. As Gertrude is our authority on Economics, we felt such matters were in good hands. She has a re al talent for dancing, and each year her name appears in the cast of Pilate s Daughter, to which she contributes her terpsichorean talents. Always an optimist she radiates a happy influence on her associates. Her vivacious nature and friendly spirit explain her popularity.

Nature has endowed Anne with a soft, musical voice, lovely gray eyes, and a winning smile which could lighten even the darkest day. Gifted, too, with a sense of humor, she sees always the bright side of any situation. Quiet and retiring, Anne is quite unaware of her charming personality. A model of conscientiousness and a faithful worker, she is ever willing to lend a helping hand where it is needed. Her sincerity, gentle graciousness, and unaffected manner endeared her to her college mates more and more with each passing day.

We could always count on her to enliven our discussions with an appropriate bit of humor. And how she ever accumulated her stock of little known but interesting facts will always be a mystery! Soft raven hair and dark sparkling eyes suggest the vitality she puts into all her undertakings.

Her charm is a combination of a sweet voice, a gentle manner, and a delightful laugh. No one could ask for a more unselfish friend, a more consid- erate companion. She is modest and well-poised, artistic and ver- satile. Her grace and her love of beauty are reflected in her two hobbies, — music and dancing. Julia has the soul of a musician, the voice of a bird. College courses and an enviably full social calendar make Julia a very busy soror.

Although she is quiet and reserved, yet we feel that we know her well. Her artistic gifts find expression in various ways. Often we have gazed admiringly at her charming scrapbooks, all of which bear a unique creative touch. She is adept, too, in the domestic arts. The soft, plushy, beautifully-knitted sweaters that she somehow finds time to make are the envy of her classmates. Industrious and serious, this petite young lady is one of our best students. We shall always have pleas- ant memories of clever, capable Connie.

Her ability as a leader is due in no small measure to the faith- ful diligence which she devotes to every task. To her zealous and capable chairmanship, we owe the outstanding success of our Junior Week. Her election to the presidency of the Self-Govern- ment z ' ssociation is evidence of the trust of her college mates. The quiet dignity with which she presided over the Assemblies impressed not only the under-classmen but even the most blase Seniors. An able student, a girl of sterling character, Helen deserves success.

Her musical gifts have always been shared willingly and generously with her classmates, and she has been one of the mainstays of the college Music Club. Although a very quiet young lady, she has a pleasant humor and an infectious laugh. Often she surprises us with a sudden sally of sprightly wit, and among her friends she is known as a master of the pun. Because of her winning way with children, her musical talent, and her friendlv spirit, we predict that her classroom will be a pleasant place.

No matter how much she has to do, she works with a will until all is completed. We first realized her ability in mathematics when, in our Junior year, she surprised us by her skill in solving the most difficult problems.

A sports enthusiast, Frances is one of the out- standing athletes in the gym and is vice-president of the Athletic Association. Spanish is not only her elective but also her hobby.

Toomf.y Mary is a favorite when we are choosing committees, for her en- thusiasm is contagious, and when she is in a group, everyone works with a will. Her bubbling laugh makes everyone join in her gayety. We have all listened with interest to her hilarious accounts of skiing experiences, ranging from the sprained-ankle variety to the tech- nical discussion type. If Mary should ever decide to give up teaching, it would probably be to join the ranks of the F.B.I, as in the sociology courses she became vitally interested in criminology. The college is indebted to Mary for the team spirit she inspired in the A. A. and the many hours of work given to the activities ot the Science Club.

Class Essay AND GLADLY TEACH One ot the most lovable q the Canterbury pilgrims was the earnest Oxford student of whom Chaucer said, And gladly would he learn and glady teach. For the past years we, like the humble clerk of Oxenford, have been conscientiously devoted to our books, — gladly learning. Now, as we look forward with pride and pleasure to teaching, we hope that we, too, may gladly teach. We find in English literature of a later period, however, elaborate and detailed portrayals of teachers quite unlike Chaucer ' s earnest, gentle scholar. Sometimes it is the typical pedagogue, sometimes the brutal taskmaster. Shakespeare makes a teacher the object of ridicule and derision in the person of the pompous Holofernes, who spouts pointless and empty phrases. Even Oliver Gold- smith in his kindly way chuckles over the faithful village school-master who, with words of learned length and thundering sound, amazed the rustics, so that they gazed upon him in wonder that one small head could carry all he knew. In his essay, Christ ' s Hospital, gentle Charles Lamb describes the brutality of the master who, on cold winter nights, would call the children from their beds to receive the discipline of the leathern thong. Charles Dickens, in his effort for social betterment, held up to the scorn of the world the cruel masters in some of the schools of Victorian England. To be sure his portrayals may be exaggerated caricatures, but they are cer- tainly appalling. David Copperfield suffered under Mr. Creakle, the Tartar, who thoroughly enjoyed his profession, because he took such delight in cutting at the boys. Half the establishment, writes Dickens, was writhing and crying before the day ' s work began. How much of it was writhing and crying before the day ' s work was over I would hesitate to say. Nor shall we ever forget Dickens ' other famous, or rather infamous, schoolmaster, Mr. Squeers of Dotheboys Hall, whose favorite warning in anticipation of possible disciplinary cases was, Let any boy speak a word without leave, and I ' ll tear the skin off his back. These are gloomy pictures. By way of contrast let us consider the description of a truly great school-master of the same period, — a man strong and wise in the way of children, — lovable Dr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby. Of him it was said that when his boys left him, they were no longer children but young men, divided in thought between hero worship of him and noble resolves for the next stage upon which they were entering, with all confidence in themselves — that confidence built up through years under his influence. Here is an ideal teacher, worthy of our emulation! To the timid child he beckoned encouragement, to the discouraged child he gave his hand. In his teaching he was always zealous; in his leadership always strong. May it be said of us as of him, Stones may have wounded thy feet. Toil or dejection have tried Thy spirit; of that we saw Nothing! to us thou wert still Cheerful, helpful, and firm. •{ 108 } Is not this the true conception of a teacher, — cheerful, helpful, firm; the kind, encouraging guide, not the harsh, unsympathetic taskmaster? Is not this the ideal toward which we should strive? Our education has taught us to look upon the child not as a young adult but as a highly sensitive being with troubles as real as our own, who must be helped to face the problems of the world in which he lives. Today the teacher ' s responsibilities are greater than ever before, because of these troubled and insecure times. The universal prayer is for a true and lasting peace for all the world. We are facing a new conception, that of one world; we must assume our duties as world citizens rather than as citizens of a single nation. The ideal of inter- nationalism has been born partly because of the remarkable conquest of distance. Lands far away and unknown have been drawn very near to us. Our soldiers and sailors have probably the best conception of a unified world, because they have been in far-distant outposts, hardly noted on the map. As a result of first-hand experience with these new neighbors, of whose very existence they were previously unaware, they have become richer in understanding, broader in outlook. They have seen goodness in these people; they have realized the need for generous co-operation; they have learned that national patriotism is not enough. We must strive in the future for something greater, something nobler. This, of course, will embody racial and religious understanding, international friendship. Until we understand international patriotism, until we really want interna- tional patriotism, we can never achieve it. The teacher can play an important role in giving to her pupils the vision of a world made one, — a world of true peace, of lasting peace. The war revealed to us the wealth of resources at our country ' s command. Adults and children alike were amazed at the newly-conceived ways of utilizing these resources. We felt a shocked horror at the efforts expended on destruction, and were awed at the speed and vigor with which the instruments of war were forged. How wonderful if the very strength used to win the peace could now be utilized to keep the peace! Can we not in our teaching strive to cultivate those latent talents and develop those abilities which seemed to be hidden until a great crisis, the war, revealed them? Then we should be working for the preservation of mankind, not its destruction; we should be building a better, nobler world. Without vision, a people shall perish. We can keep before our pupils the bright vision of world peace; but we must realize that merely talking about it will never achieve it. Nor must we be like Hamlet, who in his discouragement cried, The time is out of joint: O cursed spite. That ever was born to set it right! No one person can set the world right, but the many working together, each doing his task faithfully and earnestly to the best of his ability, can accomplish great things. The true teacher by her zeal, her encouragement, her devotion, can be an inspiration to her pupils. She will find joy in guiding the faltering footsteps of a child, great satisfaction in knowing that she has led him on the road to true happiness and success. She will reap rewards though intangible; she will wear stars in her crown without realizing it. As we take our places as educators, knowing our responsibilities and our future satisfactions, we can proudly say, And gladly teach. Beverly M. Brandt •(109 } Courtyard Song OUR DAISY CHAIN I.

Increase in me that wisdom which discovers my truest interest. Strengthen my resolutions to perform what wisdom dictates. Accept my kind offices to Thine other children as the only return in my power for Thy continual favors to me. Sincerity, simplicity, and devotion are embodied in this fervent prayer of Benjamin Franklin. We, too, at the begiiining of our careers as teachers should offer to God our future service to children in gratitude for the blessings we have so bountifully received. Teaching has been called the profession of professions, but teaching is great only when it is inspired by a high spiritual purpose that will make impossible any careless or ma- terialistic attitude toward the work. Franklin asked first for the gift of wisdom to discover his truest interest. Our truest interest must, of course, be the welfare of our pupils, — not only the development of their mental abilities but the training of their characters, so that day by day they may grow in intelligence and strength to face the experiences and problems of life with stead- fast courage and truth. Our interest, however, should not be limited to mere school- room routine. Through reading, study, and travel, participation in public services and civic affairs, our horizons will broaden. Daily we shall grow in power to open new worlds to our pupils. Education is more than a mere accumulation of facts. Present demands of international understanding and sympathy place a responsibility on us to instil in the children high ideals of kindness, consideration, and co-operation. This is a challenge to the wisdom of every teacher. Today we dream of achievement in fields yet untried. Franklin saw that wisdom to know what to do was not enough, and he prayed for strength to transform knowledge into accomplishment. We realize that we have within us the power to make every cherished ambition and aspiration a reality. Clear understanding of our aims, persever- ance in every task, devotion to duty, and courage in the face of difficulty will enable us to achieve our ideals. Realism in action and idealism in purpose will give proper balance to a successful career. As we look back over our college years, we know that our training has prepared us to experience the keen enjoyment of intellectual work. New roads have been opened to us; new vistas have been revealed. The privilege of guiding children along the little footpaths that lead to the great highways of life will make our work appealing and satis- fying. New joys will await us at each turning of the road. In our treasure-chest of memories sparkle gems of friendship, which we have gathered in these past four years. Our happiness here we hope foretells successful years to come — For life is the mirror of king and slave, ' Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. By giving the world the best we have, we shall gain strength to perform what wisdom dictates. The planting of the class ivy is the traditional symbol of the close of college days. As the ivy grows with strong roots and spreading branches, may we also, firmly grounded in truth, ever aspire upward to what is highest and best, and may our kind offices to our pupils be our sincere thank-offering for God ' s favors to us. Dorothy B. Ford { 113 Class Mistory CONVERSATION AT MIDNIGHT Above the stage in our Assembly Hall sit two great Florentine nobles of the Renaissance era, seemingly lost in meditation. Little we thought that while we went our happy way quite indifferent to them, they were carefully observing our activities, eavesdropping on our conversations, learning all our secrets, and in still watches of the night commenting on them, sometimes with nods of approval, often with chuckles of amusement. Moonbeams flickered mysteriously on the worn floor of the Assembly Hall. Weird shadows and shapes began to take form, until they seemed almost real in the unnatural stillness. It was midnight, the hour of magic, the witching hour. Suddenly, as if touched by a tairy wand, Lorenzo de Medici stretched, yawned, and glanced towards his brother, Giuliano, who also began to stir. Well, said Lorenzo, today saw the Commencement of the Class of ' 47. A fine group of girls! Yes, indeed, replied Giuliano. Do you remember the time we first saw them? That was back in 1943, said Lorenzo, September the ninth, to be exact, — a beautiful, sunny day. They came into the hall, very much impressed and over-awed by everything. They walked hesitantly and looked both selfconscious and awkward, as if aware of their ignorance. There was, however, an air of determination about them, and it seemed as though the war had caused them to take their vocation seriously. I don ' t think I ' ll ever forget Freshman Week, interrupted Giuliano, laughingly; the Juniors certainly hazed those poor children, didn ' t they? Mmm, said Lorenzo, thoughtfully, that was quite a week! The unfortunate Freshmen looked so haggard, absolutely devoid of make-up and with six pigtails tied in green and yellow ribbons. You couldn ' t miss them with their huge signs, — I am Fresh- man ! The week culminated in a party given for the Freshmen by their Junior sisters. Remember Terry O ' Hearn covered with pie, and Rosalie Murray ' s lessons on the removal of excess make-up? After Freshman Week things quieted down somewhat, didn ' t they? said Giuliano after a pause. Then the Freshmen turned their attention to the books and courses, { 114 } which were such a novelty for them. Almost every day, they came into the Assembly Hall loaded down with Psychology, English, History, and Health-Ed books. It was difficult now to distinguish them from their diligent upperclass sisters. They were beginning to feel collegiate, too, said Lorenzo, for Miss Sallaway had given them a series of lectures on college ethics and manners, which they absorbed with eager interest. They were also taught the marvelous intricacies of the Tardy Book. Perhaps the event which most impressed them was Parents ' Day in National Education Week, when they introduced their parents to the professors, said Giuliano reflectivelv, and soon after, Thanksgiving Day with all its Welfare Club activities came along. Yes, I ' ll never forget how the Freshmen came to college laden with canned food, vegetables, fruits, and other dainties for the baskets which were to go to needy families, replied Lorenzo. Giuliano leaned back comfortably, and a reminiscent gleam appeared in his eyes. After a short silence he again spoke. December, I really believe, is the most exciting month in the life of the college. Just think of all the wonderful events that take place during the Christmas season. It was all new and fascinating for the Freshmen. Do you recall how they sat awe-stricken and deeply impressed throughout the presentation of the Nativity Play? interrupted Lorenzo enthusiastically. Yes, replied Giuliano with a thoughtful smile. What a beautiful and inspiring sight the tableau was, — a fitting prelude to the Christmas vacation, — and how lovely the sweet clear voices sounded as the vested choir sang the carols! It was lonesome during the Christmas vacation, wasn ' t it? asked Lorenzo. I, for one, missed the fresh, young, smiling faces. Soon, however, the students were im- mersed in mid-years, and many a worried glance met my gaze as I watched from our vantage point. Hmm, said Giuliano with a smile, it does seem as if we have our fingers on the pulse of modern college life, doesn ' t it? I don ' t think that we miss much, for almost all college activities are announced during the Assembly period. But, broke in Lorenzo, the Freshmen did survive those midyear exams, did- n ' t they? The day the marks were given out, there were many smiling faces among our Freshman friends. I always said that they looked like fine, intelligent students. I can still remember, said Giuliano, the stirring patriotic talks given by members of the War-Stamp Committee. They certainly expended all their efforts towards keeping the Minuteman banner in the College. The Freshmen, too, said Lorenzo, always evinced an active interest in the college social activities. Do you recall how they were commended time and time again by the upper-classmen for their excellent spirit of co-operation? {115} Yes, but social activities of all kinds were cast aside with a vengeance during the final exams, added Giuliano. Our clever young friends all came through with flying colors, as I knew they would! broke in Lorenzo proudly. Then came the long, never-ending summer with its heat and uneventfulness. My! how we missed those Freshmen and wondered what they were doing. Lonesome, wasn ' t it? said Lorenzo. At last, however, the great day arrived! They were back in the college! The hall once more rang with youthful laughter and gay young voices. But what a difference in our young friends! Indeed, interrupted Giuliano, I hardly recognized them, they had changed so. No morewere they awkward young girls, — they were poised, competent Sophomores. Mmm, said Lorenzo, T.C. no longer held many mysteries for them. There were, however, new courses which aroused their curiosity and interest. Biology, for ex- ample, with its frogs, amoebae, and paramecia, caused them many anxious hours. Then, too, I don ' t think Fll ever forget the way they used to practice the rib swing for Oral English, chuckled Giuliano. And that was the year when they had their initial glimpse of what their chosen profession was really like. For the first time they went to the Model School and were very much thrilled because at last they were beginning to bear some resemblance to teachers, said Lorenzo. It was sad, though, said Giuliano softly, when Miss Brick left. The girls hated to see her go. However, Miss O ' Brien took over in her place and carried on. In a lighter, more social vein, said Lorenzo, the Officers ' Dance given by the Sophomores in Parlor A of the Hotel Statler was indeed a big success. Exciting to hear about it! The year seemed to go especially fast, didn ' t it? queried Giuliano. Perhaps the many activities, — college work and war work combined to make time fly. Those were anxious times, too, with reports of battles and rumors of final Allied victory, replied Lorenzo. May the seventh! What a red-letter day that was! he continued. They called it V E Day! How excited and relieved everyone was that the war in Europe was over! Yes, said Giuliano, but soon the college was busy with all the events of Com- mencement Week. Then finals for the underclassmen, and the academic year closed. The long vacation, which we usually found so dull and uneventful, was different in 1945, wasn ' t it? exclaimed Lorenzo. Shall you ever forget how on August the fourteenth we heard jubilant shouts and cheers which penetrated even into this quiet hall? V J Day! Japan had surrendered! I, for one, was glad that the burden of war 118 was over for our young friends, and that they would resume their studies in a world at peace. My, when they returned, how they had grown up, said Giuliano wonderingly; at long last they were Juniors. There was a determined, efficient, adult air about them as they took their seats in the Assembly Hall. I couldn ' t take my eyes off them. It was amusing, wasn ' t it? said Lorenzo, with a reminiscent smile, to watch them haze the Freshmen. Revenge was indeed sweet for them. I can still remember the day, said Giuliano, when they came into Assembly with the green and gold class rings on their fingers. Very proud girls, they were! Don ' t forget Junior Week, reminded Lorenzo; that was the most spectacular event of the year. It was certainly a bang-up success, — the planting of the tree the special Assembly, the Mother-and-Daughter Tea at the Vendome, the Theatre Party, the Class Banquet, and the Prom at the Salle Moderne of the Statler. By the way, it seems to me, suggested Lorenzo, that we haven ' t mentioned any of the subjects which the Juniors had. I remember especially that Geography with its many intricacies kept them on their toes. Then, too, for the first time they gave their teaching lessons at the Model School. That was the year when Miss Dickson left, added Giuliano. How she was missed by the girls whom she had inspired and spurred on! We lived through another summer. It seemed ages before the vacation was over, and our friends came flocking back to college. What a change, though! Now we looked upon competent Seniors on the threshold of their teaching careers, said Lorenzo. Cap-and-Gown Day was interesting, wasn ' t it? queried Giuliano. The self- conscious Freshmen of not so long ago marched into the Assembly Hall dignified Seniors to take their honored places in the center row. The ancient academic regalia, the mark of scholastic distinction, recalled familiar memories to me. In the following months we missed the students of S3 and S4, who were in the schools doing their practice teaching. What fun it was to watch the grand and glorious reunion each Monday, and listen to accounts of amusing experiences in the classrooms! laughed Lorenzo. And then the Lampas, with all the work involved, started off in full swing. Didn ' t you enjoy hearing about the dances ? asked Giuliano. That star-studded informal dance at Hotel Puritan on November twenty-third, where, to quote the stu- dents, ' Everyone had a wonderful time! ' was the first exciting event. Then on December twenty-seventh came the Christmas formal in the Crystal Ballroom of the Kenmore, — the social climax of the season, — a dance such as dreams are made of. But life at T.C. was not all play and no work, in terrupted Lorenzo. Soon Finals were under way, and our friends faced them with characteristic poise and ability, he added with pardonable pride. And then it was their turn to forsake the role of â– {119} students for that of teachers, and to surrender their seats in the Assembly Hall to the students of S3 and S4. It was a real pleasure to see those girls again, — they are so bright and merry. Shall you ever forget all the excitement over the Senior play, as it gradually became a reality rather than a nebulous dream? asked Giuliano. How hard Eunice Murphy and the cast worked! Let me see, — what was the name of the play? Here he leaned forward, head on hand, endeavoring to remember. Lorenzo laughed. It was Ten Days Before the Wedding, and, according to reports, the Peabody Playhouse never saw a more expertly produced amateur performance. The applause echoed and re-echoed! The days flew by so rapidly then, said Giuliano reminiscently, that I could hardly believe the long-awaited Senior Week had come, until we heard President Ken- nedy giving his interesting and impressive Baccalaureate address. Class Day, with its beautiful, traditional ceremonies, was unforgettable, he continued. The girls in their lovely, colorful gowns reminded me of the Florentine maidens of our time. How sweet their voices were as they sang their Class Song! It was too bad, exclaimed Lorenzo, that we couldn ' t witness the Courtyard exercises, — the daisy-chain procession and the planting of the ivy are the loveliest part of the program. But I was glad the day was bright and sunny, and at least we heard all about the ceremonies. Yes, and about the evening promenade in the Princess Ballroom at the Somerset, he added. Youth is certainly wonderful! laughed Giuliano. Think of how many thrilling events were crowded into the week, — the theatre party, the Class Banquet, and the outing at Fieldston! On June the twelfth. Commencement Day, said Lorenzo seriously, we had the honor and the pleasure of witnessing the age-old and dignified ceremony of the con- ferring of degrees. How impressive it was! Although there was sadness in the thought that the end had come, that we should no longer see the bright, eager faces of the students of the Class of 1947, yet we felt that these young women with their fine education and high aspirations would strive earnestly to do their part in making a better, nobler world. The first rays of dawn brightened the sky, the witching hour was over, silence claimed the Assembly Hall.

At the beginning of the college year the Art Club invites all students interested in any branch of Art to join the Club and contribute their talents to its success. As a member of the Co-operative Arts Group, the Club assists the Drama and the Music Clubs in the Christmas Assembly Nativity Play, by plan- ning and arranging the tableau and the scenery. Attractive posters for College dances and other extra-curricular activities are made by the members. The interest and enjoyment of the Club meetings, the worthwhile projects con- tributed to our college life, and the vital encouragement given to students with artistic ability, make the Art Club one of the most popular organizations at Teachers College. {126 Athletic Association RITA ANDERSON FRANCES SHEA .

The study of photography is one of the most popular activities. The annual Science-Club Christmas Sale has become a college tradition. Each year, the faculty and students eagerly await the sale of dish gardens, corsages, wreaths, and other articles of Christmas cheer. The annual outing to the home of Mr. Lamprey is always an enjoyable experience.

The members were taught the technicalities of drama and were given opportuni- ties to exercise their acting abilities. Everyone worked enthusiastically to make the Hallowe ' en party and the Thanksgiving Festival a gay success. The crown- ing glory of the First Semester was the presentation of The Nativity at the traditional Christmas Assembly. It was an excellent production of great spiritual dignity and beauty that will be long remembered.

Its numerous activities are intended to make us sensitive to the material aid which we as teachers may give to children. With generous financial support and service from the faculty and students, the Club sends Thanksgiving food baskets to underprivileged families, and Christmas gifts to sick children in the City Hos- pital; it buys milk for school luncheons, eye glasses, and clothing for needy children; and it contributes money to community drives and to children ' s sum- mer camps. Our students also volunteer as leaders of recreational activities at various Boston Settlement Houses. The Welfare Club seeks opportunities to alleviate some of the hardships which children suffer in these critical times. We try to give kindly help which is of practical value to the recipients and which gives club members a sense of worthwhile social achievement. {VU} MweeH the Acts Class Will THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1947 We ' re closing our note-books. We ' re ready to leave, But first we ' ve some last words to say, We ' ve gained many things in our years at T. C, Now we shall give some away. To Dr. Kennedy our bequest is wise — A set of strong electric eyes For the fire doors on all the floors, So that every volume-laden lass With ease and safety may pass from class to class. Miss Sallaway ' s gift is excuse slips complete — Just fill in the name. They ' re ready and neat, With alibis standard — we ' ve used them all — Bad earaches and toothaches, and buses that stall. To Miss Wadsworth we leave a library of books With titles in neon that flash from dark nooks, So that students can find them as quick as a flash Without interrupting their three-o ' clock dash! To the Art Department — We leave you skilled artists, and fervently hope That with brushes and paint they ' ll be able to cope. On the walls they ' ll paint murals, bright, cheerful, and gay. And we ' ll boast a great artist some happy day. For the language professors we ' ve brought an airplane In which they may visit those far lands again, And spend happy hours, and bring back new treasures Which will give to the students rare, manifold pleasures. To Miss Trommer we give a recording machine To produce the sounds of a train or a team, So that students may learn how to dramatize well The stories that soon in a classroom they ' ll tell. Our gift for that brave knight of Oral Expression Is a flag staff which he may strike deep ; He is so valiant, he tries so hard, His efforts make us sigh and weep. •(135 To Miss Driscoll we leave those who think it great fun To rise before dawn just to look at the sun. And a courtyard with shadows which flagpoles will cast — So solid that long after midnight they ' ll last. Are all English text-books graded by weight? If so — those anthologies certainly rate. We leave future classes arms sturdy and strong, To carry with ease Pallee, Manly, and Long. For the History Department we ' ve a magic machine, Which will bring back the days oft described, never seen. We ' ll behold in their splendor those brave knights of yore, And revel in chivalry which now is no more. To the Science Department — Our gift is a frog joined with screw and with hinge; In dissecting no longer will Sophomores cringe. Here, too, are some vials of scented perfumes. So that sensitive pupils won ' t gag at the fumes. For Miss O ' Brien we ' ve students who at least know the scale. And when singing alone do more than just wail! They ' ll have operas and such at the tip of the tongue. And sing her such music as never was sung! To the Math Department — girls who in Math so excel. That in one second flat they are able to tell The answers to problems so long and complex That the brains of an Einstein they surely would vex. We have for you, Department of Health, A special gift surprise — It makes a girl ' s straight tresses curly, And gives sparkle to her eyes. Oh, no! It ' s not a vitamin. It isn ' t that at all! It dances divinely, it ' s lots of tun. It ' s charming — handsome — tall. To the Commercial Department — We give you a typewriter, modern and neat. That a girl will be able to work with her feet. While her right hand is taking down notes in brief form. And her left knits a sweater that ' s cozy and warm. {136 } We leave to our psychologists and sociologists, — For all world problems our logical solutions, Which surely will bring us peaceful progress Without either wars or great revolutions. To the Gym we give athletes, hearty and hale, Who when beaned by a basket-ball never will quail. Girls who can bend to the floor with great ease, And leap through the air even sans a trapeze.

Cation Signed and sealed at the office of Lotta Braynes Deacon Hill T. Q. Heyer Attorney-at-T.aw 137 Ketrospect In my freshman year at College, I came blithely seeking knowledge. (Teachers welcomed me so gladly — Now they must regret it sadly.) Wore a million pigtails daily, Laughed away my studies gaily, Minus make-up, — ghost-like faces, — Lunch-time bell and drugstore races. Went to dances, bowled, and skated, Felt T.C. and I were mated. Then my .sophomore year I entered. Found the school to be child-centered. Met a lot of plants and flower.s. Studied bugs and frogs for hours. Music I appreciated. Over Art I was elated. English poems, essays, stories. History ' s tale of Whigs and Tories! Coffee, cramming, — made the Finals! After that I needed spinals. When a junior I was sentenced To a life of sad repentance. Talked like ducks in reading classes. Bought a pair of horn-rimmed glasses. Entered Model School with terror, Fearful always of an error. Corn belt, wheat belt, glaciers, mountain, So I drank at learning ' s fountain, — But the marks came out one morning. Serving as a timely warning. Now a senior ' s life I follow. Basking in a glory hollow, — For I wish to stay in College, Even though Eve gleaned much knowledge — Classes, test, excuse slips, dances. Outings, clubs, and girls ' romances, — All a part of College living. Equal share of take and giving. So I bid farewell to College, Source of all my Present Knowledge! Don ' t be sad at losing me. Ell be back next year, T.C! Pauline C. Brooks •(138 } Sidelights on Seniors Dorothy Ford Dotty is a capable lass, That ' s why she ' s president of our class.
