During the years in which we were students in college under his direct guidance, we learned to admire and to love him. Now, we find that those qualities which aroused our admiration and respect can never be forgotten. His spirit, indeed, is ever with us. We knew him as ad- ministrator, teacher, and friend. The memory of his selfless devotion in the performance of every duty, every routine task, will give us courage in moments when the drudgery of daily living may seem overwhelming. His quiet, understanding influence will pervade even our classrooms, for he showed us that the best way to teach is to live; and to live with our eyes raised to a worthy and lofty ideal. True humility was his; a virtue for which we revered him. His keen intellect and wisdom were a constant inspiration to those who looked to his judgment for assistance. This book is the culmination of our four years ' work. As we read it we shall relive many times the joys of our college days. Yet we shall never recall the true picture of this time without acknowledging our deep appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to our late President.

As a former member of the Faculty of The Teachers College and now as Superintendent of Public Schools, I consider the training of teachers a most important part of our school system. You are indeed fortunate to have had the late Dr. William H. J. Kennedy as your leader and President during three of your college years. He was one of my closest friends and advisors; his excellent character inspired me as I know it has inspired you. Throughout his many years as President of The Teachers College he exerted a tremendous influence for good in the preparation of the teachers of Boston, which influence has been extended into the classrooms of the entire city. These same high standards are now being carried on by your present President, Dr. William F. Looney, whose scholarly attainments, broad experi- ence, and high ideals mark him as a worthy successor to the late Dr. Kennedy. May you enjoy God ' s blessing as you take your positions as teachers and may your influence be of the greatest good in molding the characters of the future citizens of our great country. Z the Members of the Class of 1949 May I express to you, the members of the Class of 1949, my deep appreciation of your loyalty and school spirit during the past year, my first year as President of The Teachers College. The late Dr. illiam H. J. Kennedy, my predecessor, with his high quality of leadership, his profound scholarship, and his noble ideals set a lofty standard and an example which has been reflected in you. Go forth with courage and confidence, knowing that you have been well trained to assume the heavy responsibilities and duties of the teaching profession. May God bless your work and bring you great success and happiness. William F. Looney, President Dr. William F. Looney Since Dr. Looney became the President of the College last September, he has devoted his time tirelessly not only to his administrative duties, but also to the greater de- velopment of a strong college spirit. His judgment and toler- ance are balanced by enthusiasm and humor. Each student who comes under his guidance benefits from his active interest and energetic endeavor. We consider it a privilege to have known in our final year of college, Dr. Looney, a true scholar and gentleman. Margaret M. Sallaway We needed expert guidance during our lite at The Teachers College. As Dean of Women, Miss Sallaway was well qualified to give that assistance. We shall always remember our first visit to her office. Never were apprehensions so quickly dispelled! Kindly, genial Miss Sallaway made us feel immedi- ately at ease by her motherly interest. Here was someone who would give our welfare first consideration; here was someone in whom we could confide. At the close of our four years we made a last visit to the now familiar office. Then did we realize that Miss Sallaway is a vital part of the familiar scene which will alwavs live in our memories.

This Association has emphasized the intense interest of the students in the activities of college life and has developed staunch loyalty to their Alma Mater. The experience gained by four years in the Self-Government Association has helped to prepare students for their life work, and has equipped them to maintain the high standards of personal and professional conduct demanded in their chosen field. 18 PREISEIMTIMO the: Lorraine E. Sviidfc ST Semr Class Officers Margaret E. Kaine Rita M. Shaw Alice M. Healy Anne M. Heiser . President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer We have come to the close of our college days. Before us lies the vision of a new world, rich in opportunity. Let us give that world our very best! Let us strive in our daily living to exert a personal influence that will touch every spring of goodness in those on whom it falls. Let us be fair, tolerant, and sympa- thetic; thus we shall be enriching not only our own lives, but, also the lives ot those entrusted to our care. {19} Pauline Barlas In her modest and unassuming fashion, PauHne has brought to us much pleasure by her skill at the key- board. Music at its best provides an interest which she willingly shares with others. Firm ambition and diligent spirit are the forces behind her careful study. Who can tell what distant goals she may reach as a reward for her conscientious work? A perfectionist in all her ways, our quiet Polly has won a special place in our hearts. Elective: Music Music Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association; Welfare Club (Co-Chairman of the Thanksgiving Basket Committee) Kala Barbara Brandes The Senior Class put its trust in Kala ' s aptitude for higher Math when it handed her the Lampas bank- books. In her careful way she proved that we had not misjudged her abilities. But her talents lay in many fields. She could deliver a marvelous speech in the hall, and even make her quiet voice heard amid the locker-room din. Her sewing and handwork are dainty and faultless. A perfectionist in every detail is our charming and gracious Kala. Electhes: Mathematics and English Self-Govern men t Association (Councillor ' 46- ' 47; ' 48- ' 49); Cur- rent Science Club; Literary Club; Drama Club; Athletic Asso- ciation; Co-Chairman of the Junior Sale; Business Manager of the Lampas •{20} Carmel Jeanne Byrne The great sociologist! Witii a twinicle in iier eye Carmel will tell you that her interest in the Arena and the skill of Mr. X is research for a book called Entertainment and the American Public. It should be revolutionary, for we are all well acquainted with her humorous outlook on even the most serious of subjects. This book will probably be illustrated with clever sketches, for she is actually a talented artist. Many of our Lampas drawings are adequate proof of her artistic ability. She will bring to her progressive classroom an understanding and warm-hearted dis- position. Electives: Art and English Art Club; Music Club; Literary Club; Debating Club; Athletic Association; Art Editor of the Lampas Mary Claire Collins Claire, as most of us call her, is a friendly classmate. Her charming manner has won the hearts and the admiration of all at the College. Her co-operative spirit on all occasions has given her the reputation of a loyal, dependable worker. Natural refinement and vivacity are her outstanding attributes. We can pre- dict a fine future for you, Claire. May every success be yours! Elective: Economics Literary Club; Athletic Association; Welfare Club (Co-Chairman of the Thanksgiving Basket Committee) {21} Katharine Honora Comerford When we recall Kay in years to come, we shall think of a capable, cheerful, and self-effacing friend. There is an undefinable buoyancy about her whicTi makes her enthusiasm for sports seem very natural. A quick serve in tennis, an impossible shot in basketball, or a difficult slalom down Cranmore Mountain, — in these Kay excels. For you, our sincere wish is that your path of lite may be a path of success. Electives: Economics, Art, and English Chairman ot the Christn Literary Club Assembly ' 48; Athletic Association; Anne Marie Connolly Dark, petite Anne, with her flair for fashionable dress, is one of our more quiet members. A model of neatness, she wears her clothes with an air of dis- tinction. Her quiet dignity is enhanced by a subtle touch of humor. The handkerchief counter in New England ' s Largest Store benefits by her charm which makes buying a handkerchief a joy. No matter how busy her day at school or store, she is always ready for an evening ' s dancing. If you wish to see Anne ' s eyes sparkle, just mention that blond with a crew haircut. Electives: French, . rt, and English Literary Club; Athletic Association {22 Eunice Margaret Cormack Eunice, of the effervescent personality, is blessed with many a social grace. She has contributed to our good times with wonderful parties. Always in a ru-u- sh to go somewhere, she has more dates than we could ever count. She always found time, though, to pro- mote class projects and dances with unusual ideas. The Venezuelans will have to wait a few years for Eunice, our lone Spanish elective. She has changed her mind again! Elective: Spanish Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 4S- ' 46); Co-Chairman of the Junior Informal; Co-Chairman of the Senior Informal Agnes Mary Cunnally Agnes is the lone violinist in our class. The magic of her music has enriched many T. C. functions during her years here. Relegated to the ranks of the arm- chair skiers since her mishap on the slopes of Hanover, she has turned to Louis Bromfield for consolation. She made a serene and lovely madonna in a Christ- mas Season play. Her poise and calm, however, are shattered at the mere mention of labor unions and their problems. She enters any debate on this subject with enthusiasm and overwhelming oratory. Eleclives: Music and English Music Club (Secretary ' 46- ' 47); Literary Club; Debating Club; Welfare Club (Aide ' 48- ' 49); Athletic Association; Second Shepherds Play {23} Barbara Ann Dooley Barbara of the big, blue eyes believes fervently in modernized classrooms, especially those with built-in beds. Remember those hour-long lectures! She has her lively side, too, and is moved to impassioned oratory when aflame with such issues as Socialized Medicine or class matters of lesser import. After three years of wearing long hair, she at last succumbed to the Jeanne D ' Arc look. We ' ll long remember her lovely voice which always added pleasure to T.C. functions, and (we have it on good authority) to gala parties at colleges near and far, including Dartmouth ' s famed Winter Carnival. Electives: Music and English Music Club; Literary Club; Debating Club; Chairman of the Sophomore Dance; Second Shepherds Play Charlotte Margaret Doppler Charlotte is one of those unusual people who can remain calm in almost any situation. Her sense of humor and good nature seem to stand by her always. Underneath her cheerfulness there is just a little firmness and seriousness, but these appear only oc- casionally. Charlotte is an enthusiastic nature lover. To our amazement she can identify many species of birds, insects, and flowers. She has worked lovingly at the Children ' s Museum, and also at a neighboring settlement house. A sunny nature and a big heart seem to be the things by which we shall remember Charlotte. Special Class Course Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 47- ' 48, ' 48- ' 49); Cur- rent Science Club (Vice-President ' 47-48, President ' 48- ' 49); Welfare Club (Aide ' 46- ' 47); Literary Club; Art Club; Athletic Association; Settlement House Committee Chairman; Section Editor of the Lampas oo Martha Ann Early Yes, there is someone behind that walicing pile of boolis! It ' s Marty, our even-tempered, red-headed Irishman. Don ' t let the books fool you, for although she studies earnestly, Martha is full of fun and mis- chief. Just mention the Y or a certain young man, and a twinkle will light up her blue eyes. Capable and efficient, she directed our most successful Christ- mas Party for the Faculty and our unforgettable Senior Banquet. Thank you, Martha, for teaching us to look on the bright side of things. Elective: English Athletic Association; Co-Chairman of the Senior Faculty Party Margaret Anita Faherty The fuss and commotion of a strenuous college life did not change Anita from her quiet, unassuming self. We must, however, overlook that sudden outburst of Irish tem.per in her senior year. We discovered that she can be a very determined young lady. She was an ardent football fan. For what team did she cheer so enthusiastically? During free moments at school, there was but one place to hunt for Anita, — the cokes at the corner drugstore had a powerful attraction! Electives: French, Art, and English Music Club (Librarian ' 45- ' 46); Athletic Association {2S Janet Frances Farrell W ith our pens we can do many things, but we cannot do justice to our Janet. Her rare qualities can be realized only when you know her well. Beauty, humility, docility, and proficiency are but a few of her many virtues. Her delicate beauty and keen intellect have been an inspiration to us during the past years. She has helped to make our lives a little brighter, a little more meaningful. May your life in turn, Janet, be blessed with great happiness and enduring success. Elective: French Le Cercle Frangais (Secretary ' 46- ' 47); Literary Club; Athletic Association; College Store; Business Manager of the Lampas Joan Godkin W here there ' s Joan, there ' s laughter, for Joan possesses a quick-witted, fun-loving spirit. Always ready for a good time, she is welcome at any gathering. Her interest in what is going on about her is reflected by an easy naturalness in all she does. She has a remarkable flair for creating humorous odes and limericks about her classmates (and others) at a moment ' s notice. Joan has always been an asset to our class with her genuine and friendly personality. Kindergarten-Primary Course Literary Club; Art Club; Debating Club; Welfare Club (Chair- man of the Milk Committee) 26 Gloria Goldman Meet the girl with the peppy personality. She can determine the number of volts passing through the rectifier tube of a radio, and can differentiate X = y + Sy ' ' — 7y + 5 as quickly as the rest of us can check the score on our last examination. She can draw Varga girls almost as well as Varga himself! In her repertoire are all the latest Italian songs which she can translate as well as sing. Adept in needle- craft, she makes many of her own clothes and darling outfits for the babies in the neighborhood. We have turned to Gloria many times for enthusiastic support in class projects. Kindergarten-Primary Course Literary Club; Current Science Club; Welfare Club (Settlement House Chairman ' 48- ' 49); Snapshot Editor of the Lampas Marjorie Ann Hagerty W hen you see a graceful girl with wavy brown hair and sparkling green eyes, you know that it is Jvlarjorie. Her infectious laugh, reflecting an air of nonchalance, helps further to identify her. Along with a charming and magnetic personality, she has been gifted musi- cally. You may see her many times at the piano, the center of a gay crowd. She is, and always has been, a true friend. Her understanding and sympathy make her the confidante of her companions. Her kindly sense of humor adds so much to the pleasure of others. Elective: Art Art Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association 27 Edwina Patricia Hannon The buzzer rings, Pat dashes from class. Lampas photography problems call. She has spent much of her senior year escorting visiting cameramen through T. C. halls. She is, in general, always much in de- mand. It is rumored that she has even founded a new School of American Art, based on her truly individualistic style. Her followers specialize in building exteriors. Busy as she is, she has begun to devote much time to music. She has spent many hours developing her singing voice, proving that Miss O ' Brien ' s labors were not in vain. She will soon be able to entertain us also with the results of another new study, the playing of the piano. Electives: French and English Literary Club; Debating Club; Le Cercle FranSais; Athletic Association; Photography Editor of the Lampas Margaret Catherine Hanrahan Always ready to see the bright side of things, Margie has a ready wit and a pleasant personality. When we think of her, we remember how often she turned a dull, drab story into a hilariously funny one. With her long brown tresses and blue eyes, Margie is typical ot one who walks in beauty. Her friendliness and sympathy have often been an inspiration to us in our dark moments. A true friend at all times, we shall always remember Margie as one of our sweet, cheerful classmates. Elective: Art Art Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association 08 Alice Marie Healy It was in her senior year tiiat Alice was ele cted class secretary. If you glance at her reports you will see that her job was carefully and completely executed. So often was she mistaken by faculty and students for Pat Hannon that she even found herself answering automatically for Pat ' s assignments. Her quiet manner, neat appearance, and cultured voice all con- tribute to a personality which, in the future as in the past, will win for her countless friends. Eleclives: Chemistry, Physics, and English Current Science Club; Literary Club; Debating Club; Athletic Association Patricia Marie Heirty One teaspoonful of laughter, two cupfuls of imagina- tion, and three heaping tablespoonfuls of goodwill. Stir vigorously. There is Patsy! Small though she may be, she is energetic, full of fun, and understand- ing. She is a gracious little hostess who enjoys entertaining. Even her impromptu parties would not be complete without a sample of her piano playing skill. Good at sports, she likes bowling, dancing, and swimming. We expect to hear anytime that she has joined the L Street Brownies. Kindergarten-Primary Course Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 48- ' 49); Treasurer, Freshman Class; Chairman, Sophomore Dance; Music Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association 09 Anne Marie Heiser Progressive educators will welcome Anne into the teaching world with her hoard of units, pictures, and other illustrative material. In spite of all her volun- teer work in camps and settlement houses, she has never neglected school work, — as we could see from those pages of notes in microscopic writing. Under the supervision of this zealous treasurer, we wore our caps and gowns each day or added a quarter to the class treasury. A lifted eyebrow, a caustic com- ment, and there you have Anne, a master of dry wit. Electives: Geography, Art, and English Drama Club; Literary Club; Current Science Club; Athletic Association; Co-Chairman of the Christmas Calendar Committee; Treasurer, Senior Class Marie Patricia Hughes This tiny miss, all 98 pounds, 4 feet 10 inches of her, has demonstrated her varied abilities many times. Who managed our complicated cap and gown situation so beautifully? Who was section editor, song writer, and historian for the Lampas? Who can give expert advice on birds, or the available resources of the Children ' s Museum? Marie, of course. From now on, the Literary Club is minus one ardent advocate of the merits of Anthony Trollope. Anthony, the tea- cups, and the entire class will miss her sweet, enchant- ing ways. Electives: Geography, Music, and English Literary Club; Music Club; Drama Club; Current Science Club; Debating Club; Welfare Club (Aide ' 46- ' 47, ' 47- ' 48); Athletic Association; Cap and Gown Chairman; Section Editor of the Lampas Oo Jacqueline Cecelia Hupe If you ever feel that you wish a really true friend, just introduce yourself to Jackie. Not only is she willing to listen to your problems, but she always gives you a helpful bit of advice. Jackie is also an energetic leader and a good sport. She proved these admirable qualities as president of the Sophomore Class, as officer in Le Cercle Frangais, and in her editorship of the Lampas. Jackie has an enviable habit of always looking on the brighter side of life. It is probably this characteristic which explains her never-failing smile. Elective: French President of the Sophomore Class; Le Cercle Franfais (Treasurer ' 45- ' 46, Vice-President ' 47- ' 48, President ' 48- ' 49); Literary, Club; Athletic Association; College Store Manager; Co-Editor of the Lampas Margaret Edna Kaine With a great deal of enthusiasm and spirit, Peggy launched her career as leader of the Senior Class. Always bubbling over with new ideas to give variety to our activities, she has helped to make our last year at college a memorable one. Willingly she gave of her time and energy to revising and amending the Self- Government Constitution. Along the athletic line, Peg has proved her talents in helping T. C. hold the championship in basketball. She is richly endowed with sincerity, truthfulness, and friendliness, all of which are essential for good leadership. Eleclives: Mathematics, Art, and Biology Self-Government Association Councillor; President of the Senior Class; Current Science Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association; Co-Chairman of the Revision of the Self-Government Associa- tion Constitution 31 Rose Helen Karchas Rose, don ' t you ever get tired? Lo, these many- years, we have rehed upon you to inspire our A. A. teams and to keep those ping-pong paddles in action. It must be that morning stop at Sharaf ' s which ac- counts for your boundless energy. How there can still be a specimen left in Muddy River after your diligence with net and pail, we cannot understand! You always have an entertaining story to tell of the escapades of Karchas and Welch. Your riotous humor has kept us in gales, and encouraged us in moments of crisis. Electives: Chemistry, Physics, and Biology Current Science Club; Athletic Association (Junior Representa- tive; President, ' 48- ' 49) Dorothy Louise Keegan With her winsome brown eyes, magnetic smile, and vivacious personality. Dotty has won herself a host of friends at T. C. One of her outstanding talents is her ability to draw. During our four years she has bright- ened our College halls with her original posters and colorful designs. Many a heart will be aching when we commence our teaching careers, for our helpful, forever-smiling Dotty will not always be available with her paintbox and brush. Elective: Art Art Club; Current Science Club; Literary Club; Welfare Club Aide; Athletic Association {n} Joan Audrey Kelley Her Irish eyes reveal a happy, friendly nature, al- though she may seem so-o dignified and sophisticated. The mischief behind their merry gleam makes Joan unpredictable. We never could prophesy what the hair-do of the day would be. Each was different and dramatic. Every costume was striking. Equally attractive is her lovely voice which has made her a welcome addition at many of our social gatherings. A good companion and an even better friend she will ever remain. Elective: Music Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 48- ' 49); Music Club; Literary Club; Current Science Club; Drama Club; Art Club; Athletic Association Genevieve Ann Kelly Gen is a dainty, lovable girl with an irresistible man- ner and winning personality. Who has not been charmed by her engaging smile, her soft, sweet voice, and her expressive blue eyes? Gay, vivacious, and best of all, a good sport, she always has been an enter- taining companion. She is the essence of modernism in the field of fashion. But equally modernistic was the picture collection on daily display in her locker! Electhes: Economics and Art Literary Club; Art Club; Athletic Association; Music Club 03 Catherine Rita Kexny Rita is our Irish Beauty. Her winning smile, ringing laughter, and keen sense of humor are truly products of the Emerald Isle. Youthful modesty has concealed from her classmates her many wonderful talents. Suddenly we realize we have in our midst another Lily Pons and another Bette Davis. Good luck to you, Rita, wherever you go, whatever you do. Eleclives: Spanish and Art Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 47- ' 48); Art Club; Drama Club; Athletic Association; Snapshot Editor of the Lampas Theresa Evelyn Lang She may be tiny, but, oh my! Of this we are sure, when we see Terry. With her pretty hair-do and bright hazel eyes she is a typical fun-loving college girl. Her enthusiasm, vivacity, and pleasing person- ality make her a charming companion. Through our college years, Terry ' s pleasant ways have won for her many friends. Her cheery smile has warmed many of our college days. Etectives: Economics and Art Art Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association {U} Charlotte Ruth Levens Upon approaching Charlotte we are apt to notice two shining spots in her short red curls. Upon closer examination we see that these are her glasses, pushed to the top of her head. An individualist at heart, she has some very progressive ideas about education. On Sunday evenings we are likely to find her at the International Club, listening to a Beethoven sym- phony, discussing current events, or debating social problems. Put Charlotte back a generation and she would be campaigning for women ' s rights. How we shall miss her orations in the locker room, her charm- ing way of presenting reports, her subtle wit, and her success at taking a Levens! Electives: French and English Co-Chairman of the Senior Faculty Party Mary Margaret Lydon Mary ' s friendly smile and gay disposition have won for her the admiration of all her classmates. Her re- markable spirit of unselfishness is reflected in her eagerness to help others. Doubtless life has some- times been a little trying or difficult for her, but we never knew it, for Mary was far too busy bearing our burdens to realize that she had any of her own. If the wish that is in our hearts today could be granted, Mary, then all the happiness and prosperity that life can afford would be yours! Elective: Economics Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 46- ' 47); Treasurer, Junior Class; Co-Chairman, Junior Week; Current Science Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association; Section Editor of the Lampas 05 Geraldine Marie Lynch A dancing instructor for several years, Gerry is already a veteran in the field of teaching. Her little kindergarten children will quickly learn the joys of self-expression in the dance. An ardent worker for the welfare of needy children, she is constantly seen selling candy at lunch time to benefit them. Anyone troubled by housing conditions should consult Gerry, who has a deep interest in the real estate business. No one will forget her willingness to add enjoyment to any school program with her clever dance routines. Kindergarten-Primary Course Literary Club; Drama Club; Debating Club; Welfare Club (President ' 48- ' 49); Co-Chairman, Junior Prom Mary Ellen Lynch A girl of many talents, Mary introduced an added feature to T. C, — the Little Theater of the Senior Locker Room. Many times we sat spellbound as she staged, directed, and acted an entire play for our benefit. She is dramatic, too, in her choice of clothes, — our nomination for best dressed woman of the year. As our poet laureate, Mary amusingly extolled American men of letters at English teas and seriously praised our Alma Mater in the Class Song. Elective!: Spanish and English Self-Govern men t Association (Councillor ' 47- ' 48); Literary Club; Debating Club; Drama Club; Chairman of Education Week Program; Chairman of the Students ' Room Committee; Student Chairman of Open House; Editorial Staff of T.O.T.; College Play; Literary Editor of the Lampas 36 Ruth Isabel Martin Ruth is the ingenious member of our class. If she does seem to be dreaming, it is only the dawn of a new and exciting idea. Then she has the enthusiasm to make this mental creation an actuality. Take that famous and startling laundry-bag skirt for example! Her handwork and art, too, show originality and sparkle. On skis she has perfected new methods of going up and down hills. As one of the models for our fashion shows, she has displayed grace and poise which are essential parts of her individualism. When it came time to choose the literary editors for our Lampas, Ruth, with her flair for writing, was an ob- vious choice. Special Class Course Art Club; Literary Club; Current Science Club; Athletic Asso- ciation Secretary; Welfare Club Aide; President, Freshman Class; Self-Government Association Treasurer; Co-Chairman of the revision of the Self-Goverpment Constitution; Literary Editor of the Lampas Mary Alice McLean A sparkling laugh and a twinkling eye introduce this member of our class, Mary Alice- These signs of merriment were especial ly displayed within the walls of the locker room, where her unique dance routines, obviously original, were often performed for the entertainment of SI. Her rhythmic ability was not limited to the dance. If a piano had been available at these sessions, she could have shown her progress by a perfect rendition of The Happy Farmer, two hands! She surely has shown us that a sense of humor is a requisite for a sunny personality. Eleclives: French and English Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 46- ' 47); Le Cercle Frangais; Music Club; Current Science Club; Literary Club; Debating Club; Athletic Association Treasurer; Sophomore Class Secretary {37} Carol Frances Mosher In Carol we have the happy but unusual combination of beauty and ability. Her earnest brown eyes and golden hair are but a small part of her attractiveness. Seemingly unassertive, Carol has shown her innate ability on many occasions. In her we find an able leader as well as a willing follower. Student, dress- maker, and artist, Carol, our Jill of all Trades, rates high on our list of true friends. Her warm, gracious manner is unforgettable. Elective: Music Music Club; Literary Club; Current Science Club; Art Club; Athletic Association; Welfare Club Aide Dorothea Elaine Murphy Elaine ' s lovely soprano voice has delighted us on many never to be forgotten occasions. There is about it an ethereal quality which reflects the quiet, spiritual nature of its possessor. Her piano accom- paniments are true complements to her poetic inter- pretations. Although she is shy and retiring, she is to many a loyal and sympathetic friend. Mr. O ' Meara, however, never did get a slice of that un- scientific marvel, — Murphy bread. We wish for you, Elaine, a life of happiness and success. Kindergarten-Primary Course Music Club (Vice-President ' 47- ' 48, President ' 48- ' 49); Music Chairman for the Open House Program; Athletic Association {i } Evelyn Luise Nuissl What magic castles did you build, what far-ofF moun- tains did you climb while day-dreaming in class? Or were you merely picturing how you would get to school the next day? For some reason Evie ' s cap and gown were often missing as she slipped in at 9:04 9 10 A.M. On the basketball court, however, she was the center of action as she moved quickly and deftly to score another point. Executive, student, athlete, and pal — all add up to Evie. Electives: Mathematics, Art, and English Drama Club; Athletic Association; Welfare Club (Secretary ' 4S- ' 46); Vice-President, Junior Class; Co-Chairman, Junior Week; Chairman, Senior Christmas Sale Anne Rosalie O ' Brien Can ' t do homework tonight; it ' s square dancing for me. How Anne could swing and reel all evening and then get an A on an English test the next day was a mystery to us. Coupled with her ability at Scotch dances was her charming British accent which she obligingly turned on at a moment ' s notice. Somehow, we never quite expected T. C. to remain intact when the two Annes began mixing chemicals, but miracles do happen. With the same vim and vigor exhibited in the laboratory, Anne rummaged for cuts or chased us for Lampas material, proving herself a very capable co-editor. Electives: Chemistry and Physics Literary Club; Athletic Association; Radio Programs; Co- Chairman, Junior Informal; Co-Chairman, Senior Supper and Penny Sale; College Play; Co-Editor of the Lampas {39 Thelma Veronica O ' Brien If you hear a terrific noise, followed by a loud ex- plosion, don ' t look for Thelma. She won ' t be there! Thelma is one of the most quiet members of our class. In an unassuming manner she has actively promoted the work of the Welfare Club. Her sympathetic nature and cheerful disposition have endeared her to all. To watch her on the ballroom floor has been a delight. May she dance through life with as much rhythm and grace. Kindergarten-Primary Course Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 46- ' 47); Welfare Club Aide; Art Club; Literary Club; Athletic Association; Co- Chairman, Thanksgiving Basket Committee; Chairman, Welfare Club Christmas Committee; Section Editor of the Lampas Marie Agnes O ' Donnell The student body of Teachers College showed sound judgment in the selection of Marie as President of the Self-Government Association. She has conducted student activities with gentle firmness. In so doing she has gained the respect of the entire college. In- terested in many projects including those of the Wel- fare Club, Newman Club, and Athletic Association, Marie has done much to foster college spirit. In addition to her qualities as a leader, she has won the lasting friendship of many by her true sincerity, will- ingness to help others, and ever-present sense of humor.

For behind that carefree, elfin smile lies a capable mind. Need we ask why she rushed tornado-fashion from her studies each Thurs- day at eleven o ' clock? Was she running on an extra-important errand, or did a Northeastern student find her red hair charming? Calm will be T. C. ' s halls without Ruth and her alter ego.

She was also responsible for many well done jobs in our class. A glance at her activities shows only a little of her popularity, and nothing of her earnestness and ability. Her talents are varied, and range from knitting and handiwork to higher Mathematics. One of the busiest girls we have ever seen, Marie always finds time to be just as sweet and friendly as she looks. Never have we known anyone who has and deserves so many friends.

Her constant good nature and ebullient humor have endeared her to us. Just give her a subject and you can depend upon hearing an enthusiastic dissertation. We have all absorbed some delightfully different bits of Pollard philosophy. The music and literature, which she loves so much, have contributed to the development of an unforgettable personality.

Her knitting needles are forever clicking. Socks, mittens, sweaters, — nothing is too difficult for Eleanor! Dashing through the corridors, whether she be scout- ing up volunteers to deliver Thanksgiving baskets or seeking money to pay the ice cream man, Eleanor made a quaint senior, complete with cap, gown, and sneakers. How convenient it would have been had she been able to use her Pontiac here also. Since this was slightly impossible, she contented herself with driving the members of S6 on their excursions.

With a great deal of enthusiasm, directed into the proper chan- nels by Dr. Madden, the faculty adviser, the staff of thirty went to work. On December twentieth, the first issue of Chalkdust was in the hands of its sub- scribers and, to the gratification of the staff, was the subject of favorable com- ment. The second issue appeared in April. The paper cove red class, club, and college activities held throughout the year. In addition, it presented many varied and interesting sidelines. {56 Current Science Club Charlotte M. Doppler Patricia M. Welch Helen A. Murray Virginia M.

Under the capable direction of Dr. Collins, it has given several debates on widely varying subjects. These debates are of a forum type, that is, after the arguments are presented, the meeting is opened to the audience. They are invited to ask any questions relevant to the subject. The Debating Club has shown a bright beginning, but its future looks even brighter. Already plans are being made to debate with outside colleges. 58 T mma Club RoxiE Karoghlanian Jean X.

An interesting addition to the organization was the entrance of male members for the first time in the history of the Club. The performance of the traditional Nativity play was given in conjunction with the Art and Music Clubs. Another production during the Christmas season was The Bird ' s Christmas Carol. The Drama Club co-operated with the Senior Class in the spring to present Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. This ambitious presentation provided a fitting finale to a successful year. {59} literary Club Rita M. Shaw RoxiE Karoghlanian Ellen T. Harrington Anne M.

Membership in the Literary Club is open to all students who are interested in books. To develop appreciation for worthy literary works, to help form and to share intelligent opinions, and to discuss contemporary authors and books in a friendly, informal way — these are the aims of the Literary Club. The main social affairs include the Freshman Tea in November to welcome new members, the annual presentation of the Second Shepherds ' Play during the Christmas meeting, and the yearly pilgrimage held in the spring to a place of literary significance. The regular meetings of the Club are highlighted by discussions of authors and their works and interesting visits from guest speakers. 60 Music Club D. Elaine Murphy Mary E. Teehan Janet M. LaPointe Ann T. Donovan Miss Elizabeth O ' Brien President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser The Music Club is one of our most interesting and enjoyable clubs. Its members present programs at all important college functions, particularly at the traditional Christmas Assembly. At this time the girls, clad in cassocks and surplices, file in procession to the hall, singing carols. Equally important is the performance of the Club at the Commencement Exercises. Members attend concerts and musical plays together. This year, for the first time, the Club attended the performance of the Messiah, given by the Handel and Haydn So- ciety. Every year there is a Music Club Night at the Pops. 61 Welfare Club Geraldine M. Lync h Mary L. Stroup Maryalice McKenney Mary C. Rogers .

With the support of the faculty and the students, the Club supplies Thanksgiving food baskets to underprivileged families and Christmas gifts to children in the hospitals. It buys milk, clothing, and eyeglasses for needy children; and contributes to the community drives. In these ways the Welfare Club carries out its motto, Education for Service, Service for Education. •{62} Jumor Class BARBARA R. MAHONEY Pr esUcnt MADELINE : M. PEYTON Vicc-Pr esidenl VIRGINIA M .

Catherine Ann Silva {67 Zhe Versatility of the Zeacher Class Essay I wonder whether anyone can read that sentence just as the queen herself would say it? With this question the teacher sets the stage for another class production. Without outward change the classroom becomes the theater; the pupils, the ambitious cast; the fairy tale, the impromptu play. As the pupils vie for the roles under the en- thusiastic guidance of the teacher, they gain in poise, self-confidence, and power of expression. The teacher, by capitalizing on her dramatic talents, changes an ordinary mid-morning oral reading lesson into a rich living experience, which has meaning for her impressionable charges. Let ' s get ready for story telling time! It ' s amazing, too, what magic these words have. A hush falls over the chalk dust atmosphere of the classroom. Forgotten are unsolved problems or mischievous plots as all wait eagerly for the opening, Once upon a time . . . Every presentation, regardless of grade or subject, can have a dramatic quality which enlivens daily classroom activity and replaces the dull, drab setting of matter-of-fact teaching. Whatever the classroom situation may be, the teacher must be tactful in her guidance. An unrecognized diplomat in her field is the teacher who said to one of her pupils, earnestly trying to write a composition, That ' s very good! You are doing much better today. I wonder whether you could make that sentence clearer by changing the opening phrase. In that bit of praise and advice lay a master stroke of teacher diplomacy. To have said, What poor work! would have emphasized the attitude of failure which characterized much of that child ' s work. The teacher recognizes that diplomacy has its application on the classroom level as well as on the international plane. If school is to be a friendly place, not a dull, frustrating one, if school is to help children grow, and not to develop feelings of failure and inadequacy, diplomatic handling is necessary for harmonious teacher-pupil relations. With the vivacity of an actress, the tact of a diplomat, and the resourceful- ness of a strategist, the teacher helps her pupils to learn, to know, and to live. The teacher, a strategist? Yes, indeed! The teacher, like a general, skillfully marshals the resources of her class to provide opportunities for living experiences. A good illustration of utilized class resources is to be found in a unit which had this incidental beginning. One morning before school a pupil confided to a teacher that his new neighbors were a Chinese family. An immediate study of China was suggested to the teacher by the pupil ' s remark. The topics for class discussion were related to the new neighbors. Let ' s invite the children, suggested a bright-eyed youngster. Enthusiastically the children began the study by collecting articles from China. Daily contributions were made, from a pair of chopsticks to a crumpled newspaper article. The climax was, of course, the Chinese children ' s visit. The often desired, but seldom obtained, one hundred per cent interest was secured from the class as the children watched the little Chinese boy write words in his language, using the ordinary public school paintbrush to make the broad Chinese letters. Throughout this unit, classroom strategy was applied most effectively. {68} As soon as one problem is met and solved, another one is presented to the teacher. Any mother who has ever exclaimed, Thank goodness! Johnny will be starting school this fall, or I ' ll be glad when I can send Mary to school, is unconsciously voic- ing the management problem facing the teacher who has more than one Johnny or one Mary under her care. Each pupil demands the teacher ' s attention, understanding, and help. Only through efficient planning can the teacher, like a business manager, keep all her pupils happy yet profitably occupied. She must present problems which are difficult enough to challenge, yet easy enough to satisfy the child ' s desire for achieve- ment. Moreover, as sales manager, she must promote interest in the work at hand. Her success as personnel manager depends upon her ability to recognize and understand that there are as many personalities in her workroom as there are pupils; and that, as distinct personalities, these little workers need kindness, praise, but above all, sympa- thetic guidance in order to attain worth-while objectives. Ingenuity and resourcefulness in c lassroom instruction are also needed. Smce interest makes the diflFerence between an attentive, highly motivated class and an m- attentive, listless one, visual aids may be used to great advantage. These aids are easily obtained. In fact there is available a guidebook which lists sources for obtaining such materials free of charge. The discriminating teacher adapts these materials to the grade and the classroom activities. In the field of audio aids, radio has the greatest po- tentialities. Add to it television, and you have the future electronic blackboard of the supersonic age classroom. Wfhat the future will hold for the children depends greatly on the role the teacher plays today in the field of human relations. She must use every avenue of ap- proach to emphasize the give and take of everyday living. The young people learn to express opinions, oflrer suggestions, give constructive criticisms, and assume responsibili- ties so that they may grow to maturity as thoughtful, responsible citizens. No one is more acutely aware than the teacher that the daily lives of boys and girls are an indica- tion of what they will be as adults. The teacher seeks to develop in them as children the attitudes and convictions which will enable them, as men and women, to live together in peace in spite of widely divergent views because, as General Eisenhower has said, they share in certain common aspirations more important to them than their differences. In the harmonious classroom relations, then, is laid the foundation for suc- cessful human relations on the national and international scale. The field of human relations presents one of the most important and perplexing problems in this Human as well as Atomic Age of ours. Franklin Delano Roosevelt clearly recognized the existence of this problem and the need for taking prompt action when he said, Today we are faced with the pre-eminent fact that if civilization is to sur- vive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships — the ability of all peoples of all kinds to live together in the same world. People who are unacquainted with the work of the teacher may think that it is comparatively simple and easy, but those who are thoroughly familiar with her work know that no other profession demands such varied aptitudes. No other profession in- volves daily situations which call for dramatic ability, diplomacy, strategy, management, creative talent, and skill in the art of human relations. Indeed, the teacher is versatility itself! Jacqueline C. Hupe {69 Class Song Humble words of praise and homage We our Alma Mater bring, For this day is ours to hail Her, Come, let hearts and voices sing! Many are the joys we owe Her, Memories of days too few, Joy in learning, striving, doing, Joy in friends sincere and true.

Courtyard Song The daisies on our shoulders we bear Are crested on our hearts, They symbolize the friends we have made From whom we now must part, They hold the mem ' ry of the days We ' ve spent in happy work and play. O Daisies, bind us closer still, On this, our happy day. CHORUS Bearing our daisies, the symbols of gladsome hours. Swaying in rhythm, we ' re bound by these white-fringed flowers. Daisies tell stories of days we ' ve spent with our friends fond and true, As, Alma Mater, we ' re going far from You. Bearing the daisies, our laurel chain raised on high. Out in the courtyard, we ' re coming to say good-bye. Farewell to school and to friends here, farewell to our college days. To You, Alma Mater, we lift our voices in praise. Dear Alma Mater, we ' ll not forget The task which You entrust. To lead the youth through paths that are right, To be good and true and just. To carry on our work each day As You would have us do, we pray. O Alma Mater, now farewell On this, our happy day. Marie P. Hughes •{74} Ji y Oration Today, for the last time, the Class of 1949 of The Boston Teachers College assembles in this courtyard, which has been the scene of many a happy occasion in our college life. Soon we break ranks. Already we hear the clarion call that summons us away to the world of adult responsibilities. A period of almost four years has elapsed since that memorable day when we first passed through the portal that bears the inscription, Education for Service. The significance of that inscription was then rather vague. The intervening years have defined it. These years, which have increased our knowledge, have also sharpened our vision so that we realize that knowledge alone is without worth, that it is only knowl- edge directed toward the betterment of mankind that has value. For such service we have been educated. With magnificent generosity the college has endowed us with riches of wisdom and knowledge. The investment of that wealth is now our obligation. It is a heavy responsibility, but one that we shall carry joyously, knowing that in it is to be found the greatest of the opportunities given to man, the opportunity for service. Within a few short months we shall be members of one of the world ' s most important professions. It is a sacred profession, for it endeavors to develop the minds and hearts of those who tomorrow will form the backbone of our society. Thus, we are faced with a twofold challenge: a challenge to educate the mind and also a challenge to mold the character of our youth so that youth in turn may ever know and seek the truly worthwhile things of life. We must promote in each child a deep and lasting respect for his fellowmen, a just regard for their God-given rights, a sympathetic understanding of the weaknesses of others in the realization of his own, the courage of his own convictions, the strength to stand alone. These are the intangibles that we must impart to youth. In our hands lies the key that unlocks the gateway of tomorrow. Will that tomorrow be one dominated by hatred and greed, or will it be one where love and unselfishness will hold sway? Our profession is a noble one and a difficult one. Yet we need never fear the difficulties that are inherent in it; for if we ourselves are imbued with the spirit of the Immortal Teacher, we cannot fail! As we go forth from the sheltered harbor of our college days into the open seas of our professional life, we shall be tossed into the currents of many conflicting philosophies. At times uncertainty and fear may seem to engulf us. Then will the principles inculcated in us here at Teachers College be our guide. The trust which you have given us, Alma Mater, is a very great one. In the frailty of our humanity, we envision our incompetence; in the strength of your endow- ment, we envision our success. In accordance with our college tradition, we have planted here this day a sprig of ivy. It is as if, in so doing, we reached into the beauty of our youth and plucked from it a tiny bud, which we leave here as a symbol of our lives. As its green-leafed tendrils climb onward and upward, ever clinging to their source of life, so may our aspirations ascend, always reflecting the spirit nurtured within these hallowed walls. Then shall the world see in our lives the fulfillment of that great trust under the guidance of Him Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Margaret E. Kaine, Class President (5(;ftOUI Tior fTV FLASHBACK THE 1 CRTHtRXKE ANN 5 UVf Class Mistory It is the year 2000. Let us look back on the adventures of the class of 1949 more than a generation ago. We settle back, reach for our spectacles, and pick up a newspaper account of their struggle through the Four Years ' War as recorded in VITALIZED HISTORY. First Invasion HAZARDOUS BLOCKADES OVERCOME. The Freshmen glanced about them. Could those puzzling tests and forbidding X-rays be things of the past? At last they were face to face with life at The Boston Teachers College. ORIGINS OF FRIENDLY RELATIONS. A sea of faces, none familiar. Soon friends were made. Bravely the Freshmen went to Assembly, met the upperclassmen, and were introduced to the Faculty. WEEK OF DARKNESS. Suddenly all was turmoil. Clothes inside out, hair-dos in many pigtails, striking make-up, and fantastic playthings, — these were but a few of the Juniors ' cruelties. Soon they relented and the Freshmen ' s normalcy returned. FIRST TIME HEADLINES. Their first Assembly was thrilling! The special assem- blies were even better! The clubs lured them with campaign prom.ises including free eats, good times, and low dues. For the first time they saw the beauty of the Christmas Assembly. Later came the excitement of Junior Week, and finally the Freshmen fought bees and brambles in search of daisies for the Seniors ' chain. VAST RESOURCES TAPPED. Soon World History and problems of Educational Psychology were heaped high on poor Freshmen backs. One hand carried scrolls of English compositions while the other clutched snappy green gym suits. They roamed the corridors uttering strange sounds, — loop, loon; pool, poor. RELIEF IN SIGHT. Batteries of tests shattered the calm. The Freshmen stud- ied, practised, studied, and practised some more. Then they worried for what seemed like weeks. What a tremendous relief when the ordeal was over! THE END OF THE BEGINNING. Amidst food and friends the Freshmen celebrated their victory. The trials, the triumphs were all relived. Their de- termination had overcome the foe. Only three years remained to be conquered! 09 Second Invasion THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE. Back the Sophomores marched, strong in their belief that all uprisings of new and tyrannical subjects could be vanquished. The desire to punish the sophisticated Sophomores led Biology to send an expedi- tion of amoebas and paramecii against them. The bacteria fought valiantly and lost only because the Sophomores were stronger than the frog. The Sophomores were glad of victory, — it gave them an opportunity to rest after carrying their heavy packs, MacDougal and Hegner. While the members of the class were still in a weakened condition. Manly attacked, leading a host of King Arthur ' s knights. The Sophomores bravely struggled through Beowulf and waded through The Canter- bury Tales. It was a decisive battle, — Manly was defeated forever! IMPORTANCE OF THE VICTORY ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT. Forced marches brought the Sophomore Army to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Gardner Museum to broaden their knowledge and their understanding of art. Their spirit was revived between manoeuvers by listening to recorded marches. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL LIFE. The Sophomore Dance provided an opportunity for the Historians to observe life in the Sophomore Age. Their conclusion was that socially the Sophomores were at a high level; economically they had a long way to go. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY RECONVENED. Those who weathered the storm of two long years met at a dinner again to discuss the merits of their defensive fight. This battle was won, the year was theirs, and the goal was another year closer. Third Invasion F WEEK AND M MINUTE. Alas! for the poor helpless Freshmen. The Juniors, remembering their own week of darkness made plans for concentrated attacks. No war lords could be more cruel than these cosmetic-hating, pigtail-loving Juniors. Climax of the week was the supper at Patton ' s restaurant; climax of the supper was the long line at Mrs. Hessian ' s the next day. FINANCIAL CRUSADE. In December they skillfully and magnetically drew in more money with their tempting display of Christmas goods. By January the Junior Army was irresistible, and captives by the dozens flocked to their financially success- ful dance. SINKING THE ROOTS. On Junior Day flower-bedecked Juniors planted a tree on the T. C. grounds to prove their claim of conquest. Amidst faculty and friend they struggled to shovel the dirt over the roots of this embryonic linden. BOSTON T. C. PARTIES. The Supreme Rulers of the Junior Army, namely, their mothers, were honored at a testimonial tea. Later in the same week, the Juniors spent an evening at Pops, and also danced happily to lovely music at the prom. CULTURAL AND SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS. The Juniors made great strides toward scientific warfare. Geography pointed out that a flag or smokestack was necessary to determine the direction of the wind. Great advances were made in Children ' s Literature, where the Newbery Award books topped the Juniors ' list of Best Sellers. In Arithmetic the problem of determining the size of the battlefield or courtyard was solved by fifty Juniors with fifty different answers. THE GOLDEN STONE AGE. This wonderful era came at last as a result of cultural and scientific progress. The long-awaited rings were purchased by the impoverished Juniors. THE ELECTION OF 1948. Despite numerous party struggles and conflicts, the election was completed. The platform promised that the next year would be a grand one. The fol- lowing resolutions were made: (1) raise more money, (2) do more work, (3) have more fun. Fourth and Final Invasion THE RISE TO POWER. As Seniors, the class of 1949 came into full glory. Proudly the members attempted to hold their heads high despite top-heavy hats. With praise- worthy determination they tried to act like Oxford Scholars, but finally resorted to pick- ing up their skirts to run to class. THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH. Sadly the Seniors took part in Memorial Exercises honoring the late President, Dr. Kennedy; cognizant of his hopes for them, they strove to fulfill his trust. Warmly they welcomed a new Freshman, Dr. Looney, and saluted him at his first college function. Cap and Gown Day. THE GOLD RUSH. The Thanksgiving Raffle brought out hidden selling talents in the Seniors. They besieged bewildered Freshmen, reminded Sophomores of sisterly duties, and harassed the Juniors for dimes and quarters. Onward the Seniors marched toward a full treasury, as they promenaded at the Barn Dance. DEVELOPMENT OF ENDURING LITERATURE. Yearbook material was cap- tured from reluctant Senior hands after a fierce battle. What a victory when all write- ups were in! To illustrate the best in fiction for the year, each Senior gladly posed for the worst in pictures for the year. THE NAVY WINS A BATTLE. With their baby sisters, the Seniors commanded the S.S. Valentine to a social and financial victory. Another step nearer the Lampas goal! A NEW CONCEPTION OF THE UNIVERSE. With the Senior year came the split in the army. One group went out to conquer the world the first semester and the rest, the second semester. They discovered that the first grade was quite difl erent from the T. C. world. The work was much harder! THE WEEK OF WEEKS. Could every subject, every course, every year have been taken? Celebration of the conquest was now at hand with the victory parade in the courtyard, triumphant daisy-chain ban- ners, speeches and toasts at the banquet, the day of the outing, and the night at the prom. Amidst cheering crowds and puls- ing bands the Seniors marched out of the hall. Diplomas were won, the enemies repulsed, and the Four Years ' War was over ! Gloria Goldman Marie Hughes Ruth Martin EDUCATION WEEK FACULTY TEA Class Will We, the survivors of the Class of 1949, have passed our allotted time within these hallowed walls of The Teachers College of the City of Boston, being of supposedly sound mind and eager body, do hesitatingly ordain and establish this our Last Will and Testament. All dues, yearbooks, photographers, tickets, caps and gowns, and the two cents for the ink belonging to the Welfare Club used in the writing of this document, paid for, we bequeath our remaining possessions and valuables as follows: To Dr. Looney, our new President and grandest Freshman of them all: Praise for what he has done this year; the best of luck for his oncoming Sophomore year; and the respect, love, and admiration of the Senior Class. To Miss Sallaway: An office on the walls of which she may hang her beautiful Indian tapestries; one hundred gross of excuse slips and no students to ask for them; and a modeling job at John Fredricks ' where she may model not only Teachers College kerchiefs, but also the latest thing in academic caps and gowns. To Miss GafFey: A drama club with a Bette Davis and a Ronald Colman, who can not only act but also deeply appreciate Agamemnon as well as Mourning Becomes Electra. To Miss Kallen: A class of students who can take notes as quickly as she can speak. To Mr. Quinn: Our appreciation for his work in the Self-Government Association, and best wishes for a speedy recovery. We want to see his smiling face at our graduation exercises. To Miss Kee: Just one student who never says Er or Ah, and who never forgets that the best temperature for the classroom is 68°. To Mr. Ryan: Three girls and five boys who are as interested in sines and cosines as in signs of how to get out of tomorrow ' s home lesson. To Miss E. O ' Brien: Lily Pons and Evelyn with her magic violin to replace the great artists she will lose this year; and a class with only one untuneful voice. She may use this one student for demonstration purposes only. To Miss Given: A Sophomore Class whose members never change their minds about their electives. To Miss Stack: A class of girls who act like young ladies. To Miss Gilman: Ourselves, — the prospective members of the Boston Teachers Club. To Dr. Collins: One class of girls to relieve the awful boredom of teaching all men. (How we wish we were in his place!) To Miss Driscoll: A special planetarium in which the student may observe the direct ray of the sun, any time of the day or night, in rain or shine. To Miss M. O ' Brien: A new gymnasium fashioned after the one at Wellesley, but with an added feature, — a classroom similar to one in the grade schools, where the future schoolmarms may teach each other the latest first and second grade dance steps under the best conditions. {U} To Miss Donovan: A new skeleton to keep the old one company. To Miss Ammidown: One hundred frogs and a deep-freeze in which to keep them. To Dr. Burnce: A few students who can understand her French remarks, which sound so apropos even though we don ' t understand them. To Dr. Madden: A Maurice Evans, an Ingrid Bergman, and a few more John Sherrys. To Miss Brennan: A month of Tuesday afternoons to speak about Anthony TroUope. To Miss Barr: A prayer that all the students will copy her extremely courteous manner. To Miss Gartland: A French class which knows English grammar. To Miss Bulger: A few kindergarten children so that her students can act their own ages. To Miss FitzGerald: A model school adjacent to her own room. To Miss Trommer: Another teacher of Education so that she will be able to eat her lunch in peace; an extra room where she may store her extra papers; a private printing press for the News Letter, and a special wing in the library where we may go to examine all the books she has so generously given to the school. To Dr. Gerry: A private laboratory with one dozen monkeys so that he will not have to use his students. To Mr. Read: Nothing, — we ' re taking him with us. To Mr. Regan: A class of girls who won ' t swoon every time he enters the room. To Miss Wadsworth: A special room where the students can eat while they are reading, so that the library won ' t be overrun with unwanted pests. To Mrs. Hession: A bottle of green pills to give those students who wish to cut classes. These green capsules make the taker turn that color. To Mrs. Barry and Misses Clark and Leary: A bouquet of roses for their helpfulness. To Miss McCarthy: A free pass for the MTA because of all the business she drums up for them on Wednesday mornings. To the Custodians: A waste paper basket disposal unit. To the Visual and Audio Aid Department: A mechanical robot teacher to supplement the materials already in the department. To those who work in the lunchroom: A book of recipes prepared by the chefs of the Waldorf, and we do mean the Waldorf-Astoria. To those in the Reading Center: Unemployment insurance. You ' ll need it when we are teachers. To the Undergraduates: To the Class of 1950 we leave a section of Fort Knox. To the Class of 1951 we leave many ideas for torturing your Freshman sisters. To the Class of 1952 we leave faith, hope, and three more years of hard work. Finally, to The Teachers College of the City of Boston WE LEAVE! Signed, sealed, and delivered this day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-nine. Kai.a Brandes 85 COLLEGE CANDID Class Prophecy Following the path of that famous commentator, Whose headlines often make the newspaper, About events yet in store, About personalities galore I, too, predict That the ' 49ers to heights unheard of will soar. Now, with far-reaching foresight, I ' ll prove my prophetic soul right; Your future I shall unfold tonight. The year, 1960; the place, San Francisco; the occasion, Mademoiselle Kenny ' s concert of the season. Rita ' s songs make the house ring with applause long after the performance. On to London where we find the Britisher relaxing before his television set with a spot of tea. He is thrilled by the Shakespearean songs of artist Elaine Murphy. She is touring Europe and winning the hearts of all her audiences. Talented Pauline Barlas is her accompanist. Pauline plays enchantingly. Indeed, she is rehearsing for a solo appearance in Paris next spring. The visitors stop in at Canterbury Concert Hall where the organist is none other than Mary Lydon. The congregation is thrilled with the playing of this American virtuoso. Return to America, and visit Betty Williams ' Arkansas home. A biisy place indeed, for Betty is active in many clubs besides managing her little family. It ' s almost bedtime; the youngsters gather round as Betty turns on the radio. Coming straight from Hollywood are the soothing tones of Lucille. Her lullabies carry children off to dream- land every evening from Monday through Friday at just this time. The program is sponsored by Collins ' Never-ever-Worry Pills, solutions to all of man ' s ills. Use these daily, listen to Lucille ' s program nightly, and life will be beautiful. Incidentally, tickets for all Hollywood broadcasts may be obtained from Ruth O ' Hara, Public Relations Director for the studio. Ruth spends much of her time cementing friendly relations with the public. We were thrilled in Detroit, for we saw on the program of the Symphony Orchestra that Agnes Cunnally had top billing for the season ' s opening performance. Few Michiganites will want to miss this rare treat. On to New York, to the Museum of Modern Art, where Lorraine Swide is 08 exhibiting her paintings. They are bold, daring, and what a success! Alas, they ' ve been banned in Boston. A short cruise to Provincetown where a shop, the S. S. Silva-Heiser, greets us. Ceramics, metal work, and finger paintings, — these are its wares. Mary Elizabeth greets customers, Catherine Ann exhibits and sells, while Ann manages business affairs. No wonder she takes jingling sacks to the bank and its smiling teller. The whirl of fashion draws us to Dallas where Joan Kelley, outstanding stylist lives. Her designs lead the field and fill the pages of Vogue and Mademoiselle. She works with her friend Carol Mosher whose hats complete the ensembles. Kelley ' s Clothes and Mosher ' s Millinery are symbols of America ' s best dressed women. On Boston ' s outskirts the Misses Godkin and Kelly are attracting hundreds of sightseers to their Feline Foundation. This unique building houses many of the city ' s homeless cats. Moving westward, we find that much of Chicago ' s television industry re- volves about our own Mary Lynch. Mary has her hands full writing, directing, produc- ing, and occasionally acting. Her star-studded casts include such popular artists as dancing Gerry Lynch, wizard of the keyboard, Eleanor Reardon, and sentimental songbird Barbara Dooley. One of television ' s most prominent advertisements runs: When you ' re out for a treat Here ' s a place can ' t be beat; There ' s one in every large city. Be sure that you drop In at Shaw ' s Tasty Tea Shop For coffee with talking that ' s witty. Model hostess for these shops is red-headed Peg Sullivan whose smile attracts many customers. California, here we come, straight to Hollywood where we find the team of Byrne and McLean frantically rehearsing parts for a new movie. According to Louella Zolot, our Hollywood columnist with a nose for news, Carmel and Mary have retained Gloria Goldman, star humorist, to write exclusively for them. Chief proofreader of the Goldman scripts is Pearl Pollard. Perseverance, punctuality, and perfect punctuation have made Pearl in demand from coast to coast. There is a new hit called Aloha, Alaska. It reveals authentic episodes from the life of A. R. O ' Brien who rushed there with her test tubes and discovered a rich deposit of uranium. News from the Boravian Alps tells us of Kay Comerford, captain of our Olympic Women ' s Ski Team. Kay has just set a record for the perilous high jump. {89} Again, speedster Thelma O ' Brien has won top honors. In her easy, sprinting style Thehna outdistanced her competitors and won the 100-yard dash. To the Rociiies and Denver Stadium. A fierce basketball game between the Boston Bulldogs, starring Marie O ' Donnell and Peg Kaine, and the Denver Demons, with Rose Karchas and Pat Welch. Clever plays and counterplays are greeted with piercing shouts. Sorry, folks, even I can ' t predict who ' ll win a game like this. The school board of a small western Massachusetts town is adopting progres- sive measures. Radical members of the board are Marie Parkes, Department of Special Education, Martha Early, Department of Elementary Education, and Alice Healy, Department of Secondary Education. These three experts are making history. Watch your daily newspaper for the details. This you won ' t want to miss. Columnists are still gloating over the social event of the year, Ann Connolly ' s marriage to the millionaire oilman of Oklahoma. What a smooth life flows before Ann! In Puerto Rico we find Eunice Cormack in her Good Neighbor Office. To- morrow she takes off for the far north to teach Spanish to the Eskimos. In science, too, our girls have reached great heights. Dr. Hupe and Farrell ' s new book has just appeared. The Physio-Psychological Reactions oj Mice to Men. Too bad it ' s all in French! Fraulein Dopplet ' s interest in research has led her to cultivating silkworms to revive the manufacture of silk lingerie in this country. As a side line Professor Levens, renowned pediatrician, writes many stories, plays, and poems to delight little children everywhere. Her books are cleverly illustrated and jacketed by the talented artist, Margaret Trabucco. Look, now, over the sand dunes of Cape Cod. There is Kala Brandes coach- ing her experimental theatre. It ' s a musical comedy starring those gay and witty troubadours, Lang, Hagerty, and Hanrahan. Other programs of this very successful season have included several children ' s plays created by Marie Hughes, some romantic escapades by Anita Faherty, and a few productions of our well-known tragedian, Evelyn Nuissl. Costumes are designed and arranged exclusively by Dotty Keegan; scenery and props are handled by Pat Heirty. The job of Publicity Director belongs to efficient Pat Hannon, while funds for this vast enterprise are massed by that financial wizard M. M. Sullivan. The troupe will be heard of in Broadway this fall. Now that I have the future painted, May life for the ' 49ers be sainted. Gently let the curtain fall Upon the success and happiness of each and all! Ruth Martin 90 Our Meatts Were young and (Jay Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, the play adapted from the book of the same name written by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough, was the first college production. This Drama Club-Senior Class undertaking was presented May seventeen in the Boys ' Latin School auditorium. Highly entertaining were the unpredictable doings of Cornelia and Emily on their first trip abroad. Miss Gaffey directed the cast which, in the order of appearance, included: STEWARD MRS.

Alma Mater, to thee, in our youth. When we lifted our eyes, full of trust, to thy face, When we felt there thy spirit and saw there thy grace. We desired then thy wisdom; we longed for thy truth. As the years have flown liy with their toil and their joy, Thou hast quickened our ears, thou hast opened our eyes, Till the hill and the plain, till the seas and the skies, Are all throbbing with beauty no han ' d can destroy. Thou hast shown us the world with its splendor and might; Its desire and its need thou has given us to see; Mother, grant us thy passion for service, that we May lead youth, with its ardor, to seek for the light. . . .- .•.. ■ ' -1 _,p •«,, h ■r Y[ f ■il . ! !j -. i l M m -AP. .A . ■ . !  y- ...
