May we ever prove worthy of your faith! LIBRARY OF T! - OF CITY OF BOSTON XX. S THE FOUR years of our life at the Teachers College come to a close, we pause to look back over our college days in order to record the events and the memories which have brightened and enriched them. This, our yearbook, preserves for us the vivid impressions of the past, and brings to us the realization that we are about to take our places in an honored profession. In the Lampas, we find an account of all that has made the Teachers College so dear to our hearts. May this book be tangible evidence of the symbolic themes which run through its pages. May the symbols which tepresent education for service, leadership, and knowledge become ever more meaningful for us in our teaching careers. From the Lampas may we always gain inspiration; may we derive an ever deeper comprehension of the inscription: The truth shall make you free. Foreword Tall poplar trees tlieir shadows throw. ' ' Fountain of all that is dear to our youth. ' ' Great is the truth and mighty aho e all things. Build thee more stalely mansions, my soul. l!S!i ! MAEI£ WYNES Dr. Dennis C. Haley Superintendent of Public Schools To the members of the Class of 1950 I extend my congratulations and best wishes. You have been well prepared for the noble profession of teaching. I welcome you into the ranks of the vast army of teachers throughout our great land. Upon you will rest the responsibility of training our citizens of tomorrow. As teachers you will leave an indelible imprint upon their characters. I bid you accept this charge and carry out this duty with full faith in God and with an unswerving determination to preserve our American way of life. Go forth in full knowledge and confidence of the right, and may you be blessed with great success. 10 To the Members of the Class 0 1950 Within the two years during which I have been President of The Teachers College of the City of Boston, I have come to regard you, the members of the Class of 1950, as my friends. You have established an enviable scholastic record. Your deep sense of loyalty to the members of the faculty and to me has been in evidence at all times. Among the students you have maintained a well-deserved leadership. You have demonstrated outstanding qualities which will assure you of success in teaching. With mixed feelings of joy and sorrow I bid you farewell. May you have the blessings of God in your every undertaking. WILLIAM F. LOONEY President Adviser of M omen MARGARET M. SALLAWAY To Miss Sallaway we shall always be grateful for her kindly guidance during our college days. It is hard to put into words the appreciation we feel for one who is so good-natured and generous. Whether granting excuse slips, searching for a tutor, campaigning for the college store, or performing various other duties, Miss Sallaway can always spare a moment to talk to us. Her pleasant, warm manner and her friendly, helpful advice, we shall long re- member. All we can say is, Thank you sincerely, Miss Sallaway. 12 Dr. H illiam H. J. Kennedy IN MEMORIAM So let your lightt shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. A great light has been extinguished. We miss its guidance; we mourn the loss of its warmth. Dr. Kennedy had a brilliant mind, a kind heart, and a great soul. He was not only scholarly, but also gentle and inspiring. His interest in us was both professional and personal: professional because we were prospective teachers, and personal because we were young and inexperienced. He knew our needs and sought to satisfy them. He understood our difficulties and strove to help us help ourselves. His passing cast a shadow on our bright college days; nevertheless, we feel that it was better to have known and lost him than never to have known him at all. May we follow in his footsteps and become like him: Teacher tender, comrade true. May we ever, to use his own expression, keep his memory green, so that his ideals shall be our ideals; his courage, our courage; his achievement, our goal. 13 Our Faculty ENGLISH Miss Brennan, Dr. Collins, Dr. Madden, Mr O ' Neil, Miss Midgley, Miss Galley.

Sherry Treasurer Self Government Association Upon enrollment in the College, every student becomes a member of the Self-Government As- sociation, which was formed by the students for the students. Through the section councilors, the student body is represented on the Council, which is in charge of all extra-curricular ac- tivities. This year the Self-Government Association set a precedent by inaugurating an annual All- College Banquet. Following the established cus- tom, the Association sponsored the program for Education Week, Open House Night, and the Christmas Party. In February, an All-College Dance was organized. The T. C. night at the Pops brought to a close the activities of a very eventful year. 19 FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Being new was both dis couraging and challenging With our Freshman Class Of ficers, Mary McGillycuddy Barbara Caliri, Ellen Snow, and Ruth Conway, it did not take long to prove that we had potentialities. This we did when we invited the col- lege to See T. C. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS The second big election proved the unity of the class and their wisdom in choosing class representatives, Roxie Karoghlanian, Ellen Snow, Gladys Rosenberg, and Mary Teehan. Academically, this was a difficult year but so- cially a memorable one. Did we not prove that we ' were College Bred? JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Harmony reigned again in the Junior year under Bar- bara Mahoney, Madeline Pey- ton, Virginia D ' Arcy, and Shirley Norton. With our able class officers we again showed originality in all our class activities. We were, moreover, the first class to have Freshman brothers. Through the years l«y-i The Lampas THE EDITORS IN CHIEF Barbara Caliri, Barbara Malioney. In school at eight . . . Home again at eight . . . Meetings, meetings, meetings. . . . Such was the life of the Lampas staff. Few can imagine the. work involved in this publication which has been prepared under the vital leadership of Barbara Caliri and Barbara Mahoney. Only those behind the scenes can fully appreciate the job of the literary staff, which was so well directed by the literary edi- tors — capable, versatile, and industrious Mary Feehan and Ellen Snow. Senior write-ups writ- ten, rewritten, and then once more rewritten by the patient section editors. After that, accounts of clubs, classes, and a million incidentals added for diversion. The art staff, too, had its perplexities. Shall we choose symbols or figures for a theme, a single- or a double-page spread for divisions? With the able assistance of their instructors, the art editors made their decisions and carried out their ideas to perfection. When pictures had to be taken, the school was literally set on end. Classes disrupted . . . furniture disarranged . . . individuals disturbed . . . but all requests were met with the utmost cooperation. Meanwhile, the snapshot editors THE LITERARY STAFF Beverly Melnick, Section Editor; Ellen Snow, Literary Editor; Mary Rear- don, Section Editor; Mary Teehan, Literary Editor; Therese Tuley, Sec- tion Editor; Joyce Jollimore, Section Editor.

Van- tine ' s was surely beset by our photography editors. We can never forget the ingenious methods of money collecting perpetrated by our finan- ciers. Many a noon hour was spent wearing out shoes in order to track down an ad, or to induce someone — anyone, to invest in our great venture. All payments were made on time, and for this we are truly grateful. This yearbook of ours has been a lot of work, but even more fun. The work, however, could not have been done so expeditiously without the help of members of the Faculty. To the English Department, we are greatly indebted for all the time and energy it gave to making perfect copy of our rough drafts. Miss Stack and Mr. Bertolli added their talents to our resources. Mr. Pow- derly supervised financial matters, and Miss Clark, as usual, gave willingly of her typing services. Our sincere appreciation to Miss Gart- land who made our cause her own. We shall always remember her selfless interest, untiring efforts, and whole-hearted cooperation in our undertaking.

We shall not fear the encircling gloom, For night is followed by the day. In the soft rays of golden light Which from the lamp of knowledge stream Behold our Alma Mater dear, The symbol of a treasured dream. To us she hands her flaming torch; To us she shows the mystic gleam. The brand is ours to carry high! We ' ll strive to keep it burning bright, That it may be for all the years Our steadfast guide, our beacon light, While on the way we humbly sow The seeds of wisdom, truth, and right. Few earthly laurels, our reward, But riches far more dear we ' ll know: A child ' s sweet smile, his soft young hand; His eyes with gratitude aglow. And by the sowing of those seeds Our hearts and minds with his will grow. Ann B. Hutchinson 49 Class Essay The world is ostensibly at peace. The fires of conflict no longer rage; yet the spirit of war still smoulders in the hearts of men. Everywhere war ' s distress has left its scars in mental, emotional, and spiritual unrest. Men cry for peace, but their plea is lost amid the din of political strife. Desperately they cling to the hope that concord among nations will ultimately become a reality. This condition of insecurity is undoubtedly due to the tremendous political upheaval and the prevalent negation of moral and spiritual values which we have witnessed during the first half of the twentieth century. With the advance of certain ideologies under leaders like Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini, nations have degenerated morally. Moreover, two catastrophic wars have plunged mankind into a contest for survival. Amid this confusion America has stood as the hope of the world. Through the years she has striven to uphold her ideal of democracy by her endeavors to ensure liberty for all. Men have looked to her as the salvation of the world. What has fostered this trust? America, from the time of the establishment of her colonial government, has aroused the respect of the world. She has inspired men through her philosophy, expressed in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Happiness . . . That was something of which men had dreamed, but feudalism and monarchial government had always prevented the realization of their aspirations. America offered new hope to the world. Not until the beginning of the twentieth century did America emerge as a world power. In 1917 her assistance in breaking the deadlock which had been reached in World War I was sought by the Allies. America heeded the appeal, since she envisioned her entrance into the conflict as an opportunity to end autocracy and to make the world safe for democracy. When the war was over, however, thi s idealism was soon abandoned. The Great Powers were primarily interested in securing their share of the spoils. Some of them did not hesitate to contract secret agreements; others were unwilling to comply with the impartial adjustment of colonial claims, while virtually all concurred in the distortion of the provision for disarmament by restricting its application to the vanquished. On the other hand, victorious nations like Japan, though strengthened by territorial gains, seized the opportunity to improve their national defense. It is little wonder that their militarism soon led to outright aggression. The democracies, through their selfish materialism, had sealed their own doom. The victors, unconcerned with the problems of the peace, lapsed into the doldrums of laissez-faire, while the vanquished were forced through economic stress to seek relief. Political demagogues seized the opportunity to engender unrest and violence among the impoverished. Using propaganda and military force, dictators assumed the reins of government. Totalitarianism threatened the peace of Europe. We who understand the true meaning of democracy realize that the totalitarian form of government can only reduce mankind to his ancient status of serfdom. Slavery, however, is an institution of the past. Not only has the education of the masses made it unsatisfactory, but science, through the invention of machines and labor-saving devices, has made it impractical; yet today democracy is threatened as never before in the history of the world. Attacked from all sides, it stands weakened, but uncrushed. Though the totalitarian governments of Germany and Italy have been overthrown, a new threat to democracy — namely, Communism, has appeared. The phenomenal spread of its influence demonstrates that our military victory was not a guarantee that democratic institutions would endure. As America surveys the world, she is alarmed. Poverty, persecution, and strife are ravaging the vitality of men everywhere. In a despairing search for security, some have surrendered their fundamental liberties. They find that the promises held out to them by the advocates of totalitarianism are vain formulas which conceal the nihilism now threatening their very existence. Crushed by the ruthless tyranny of a police state, they now lack the vision and the strength to set themselves free. Furthermore, as America considers her own status, she finds that she herself has not been completely saved from the trend toward totalitarianism. Subversive agencies are even now insidiously preparing the stage for the overthrow of the prin- ciples on which her government rests. Having disguised their revolutionary purpose, they are endeavoring to uproot the very foundations of our government. Through propaganda, attempts to destroy American institutions are being launched and sup- ported. A few unthinking Americans, meanwhile, hardly aware of the breadth of purpose of the advocates of these schemes, are harassing their own government in decrying, with them, the weaknesses of capitalism. America ' s task, then — the preservation and extension of democracy — is far- reaching. Forces hostile to her philosophy have augmented the difficulty of her task through their use of indoctrination. Men have been led to believe that America ' s greatness has been exaggerated. The wonders of totalitarianism have been extolled in an attempt to undermine America ' s political beliefs. Men have been imbued with suspicion of the principles for which America stands. The world, therefore, may not yet be ready for democracy, even though it yearns for liberation from tyranny. The nations which are now suffering under the yoke of totalitarianism must be led to realize that their philosophy of government inevitably brings the complete destruction of all human values. In this critical moment in the world ' s history, how shall we meet this challenge? The American tradition, which we have briefly defined, clearly demonstrates the soundness of our democratic beliefs. We know that America ' s greatness springs from her concepts of liberty and justice. The democratic principles which she cherishes have brought her to world prominence. They must remain the source of our hope for the future. To preserve the leadership of America, we must retain our spiritual and material strength. As John Foster Dulles has stated: A people are doomed if they think only of security and not of mission; if they seek safety in steel and not in the sword of the spirit. We must revitalize our faith in the democratic way, for it is only as a free nation that we shall be able to assert our leadership. The principles of our founding fathers, which have been immortalized in the Constitution of the United States, must be our guide. Inspired with their purpose, we shall be prepared to strive to promote the general welfare of men everywhere. Our road is definite but difficult. Antagonisms, prejudices, and hatreds will be fomented in an attempt to lessen our zeal. Whatever the obstacles may be, we must not lose sight of our goal. Not until men everywhere enjoy the blessings of freedom, will our mission be fulfilled. With faith in the loyal efforts of all the citizens of our great land, with confidence in the ultimate triumph of the right, and with trust in the guidance of Divine Providence, we will steadfastly press forward to a better and a happier world.

Parsons Music Charlotte Goldenberg g ff f g A ggg Ivy Oration 7 Growth is the only evidence of life. In planting this sprig of ivy here today, we are carrying on a tradition that is rich in association and apposite in symbolism. Many years have passed since a graduating class of The Teachers College of the City of Boston first broke the earth of this courtyard to leave here a living pledge of purpose. Many classes have come and gone since the roots of that first sprig of ivy pressed into the soil to find there the elements that would sustain its life. Today these ivy-covered walls bear testimony to constant growth, the only evidence of life. Here at Teachers College we, too, have our roots. Here we, too, have found the elements that sustain life — the life of the mind and of the spirit. Now we must send out tendrils of endeavor in order that we may continue our growth, for in no other profession is growth more important than in that of the educator. In the teacher, growth must be a constant process. In the teacher, there must always be evidence of intellectual and spiritual life. We, the Class of 1950, are entering the teaching profession during a period when the world is unsettled by a multiplicity of racking problems. The tension created by these problems keeps alive the threat of war — a war that few would survive. Only by a wise and just solution of world problems, social, economic, and political, can the danger of war be averted. To effect such a settlement, demands the combined efforts of intellect and spirit - — the efforts not of the few but of the many. So the ultimate responsibility for the security and happiness of our world rests on the teachers. The children who will come under our influence in the classroom will one day be the voters of our nation. The voice heard at the polls is an echo of the voice heard in the classroom. If our country ' s contribution to the discussion and settlement of world problems is to be weighted on the side of peace, our voters of the future must be indoctrinated in the basic principles of democracy — in freedom, justice, and equality. They must accept these principles without restriction — accept them in their application to all peoples. They must have developed in them the great quality of comprehensive sympathy so that they may bring fellow feeling to the problems of their fellowmen. To these problems they must, too, bring understanding. To cultivate these qualities of mind and spirit, needed for the salvation of the world, is the responsibility of the teacher. The choice of peace or war is hers to make. The ivy planted here today is the pledge of the Class of 1950 to do its part in the making of a peaceful world. The strength of mind and spirit that we found here, as our roots absorbed the ideas and ideals of the Teachers College, we dedicate in cooperative effort to the end that the code of brother- hood may be the law of all mankind. Jean M. Fleming Courtyard Song i 7 , Tune: Poem by Fibich Daisies white, on our shoulders we ' re bearing; Flowers bright, blossoms of springtime proudly we ' re wearing. Symbols of hours of work and play, Memories of many a happy day We find in each daisy flower, Each petal is one happy hour. This day, our Alma Mater dear, Class Day, as we all gather here We pledge to hold the Torch high, As we bid you good-bye. Daisies white, bind our friendships together; Flowers bright, say we ' ll honor and love you forever. All the happy times we knew Return with memories of you. As the hours are taking wing, Our farewell song to you we sing. Always, as through the years we go, We sing, that you may ever know Our pledge, to hold the Torch high When we ' ve bid you good-bye.

The enthusiasm of the girls . . . the numerous books . . . the challenging courses ' . . . all these things mark my first daze at T. C. Hope I ' ll be able to record all future events here. As time passes, activities will fade into the background. I hope that you, Diary, will help me to recall some of my pleasant college days. I ' ll de- pend on you, then, to be my remembrance of T. C. September 12, 1946 Dear Diary: Organize, organize, organize, was all I could hear today. Each president eagerly announced the activities and plans for her club, and urged us to become active members. The more the merrier, they said, so I, a starry-eyed, enthusiastic Freshman, signed my John Han- cock on the dotted line in order to become a loyal club member. October 7-14, 1946 Dear Diary: What a hilarious week of Freshman hazing! Mon- day, with braids protruding from my bathing cap and an umbrella suspended from a pail, I navigated the El. My family remarked that the curious spectators would certainly feel that I belonged Far from the Madding Crowd. But what fun! Freshman hazing is an amus- ing part of college life and I ' m right in the thick of it. All ended well Thursday when our Junior sisters took us to dinner. Did I say, All ended well? Joke! . . . We were led to ask our sisters if they had ordered poisoned food for us . . . accidentally (?)... The folld ving morning the only thing that remained was a pleasant memory of the week ' s hilarity. December 4, 1946 Dear Diary: What a day! What a school! We elected our class officers today. Mary McGillicuddy, Barbara Caliri, Ellen Snow, and Ruth Conway were the executives chosen. Immediately after the election, they invited me to join them for a snack while we planned for future activities. Of course I didn ' t add anything to the dis- cussion about the intricacies of organization or the tech- nicalities of administration, but I resolved that I would cooperate in all worthwhile undertakings for my class- mates and society. After lunch we returned to Collins Hall where we had the opportunity of meeting more members of the class. I ' m afraid, Diary, that even as I write, all the girls blend into one harmonious mass conveniently labeled my classmates. I do hope that the time is near when all will become a meaningful part of my life and I can truly call them friends, not merely classmates. April 9, 1947 Dear Diary: I told you that the Seniors would win! I told you that the Seniors would win! Remember these lines. Diary? If it helps me to recall any more of the dialogue from See T. C, our Freshman Class Play, then we ' re on the right track. Especially do I remember the jury scene in which the Seniors had to plead for their de- grees. Roxie Karoghlanian deserves credit for the lyrics and the production. We ' re proud of her. June 4, 1947 Dear Diary: Once again, Diary dear, we were given the oppor- tunity to vote for those of our classmates who will best administer the affairs of our Sophomore year: Roxie Karoghlanian, Ellen Snow, Gladys Rosenberg, and Mary Teehan. Must remember to congratulate them tomor- row . . . surely they ' ll have big plans for the coming year. June 9-20, 1947 Dear Diary: Whew! What a relief! Exams are over . . . Biology, neurology, all in psychology! My brain goes round to such degree, it ' s Greek to me! How the words from See T. C. re-echo in my mind! How appropriate they sound! Don ' t you think so, Diary? SOPHOMORE YEAR October 30, 1947 Dear Diary: Now run along home and swing your own . . . Those square dance calls of last night still ring clear in my mind. With pumpkins and sheaves of straw about the place, the gym ivas certainly a perfect setting for a square dance. December 23, 1947 Dear Diary: Well, Diary dear, today at our Sophomore Party, we decided that our class was destined for big things. Fun reigned supreme. Our quiet and retiring friends blossomed forth with charming talent which had thus far, unfortunately, gone unnoticed. Roxie Karoghlanian, true to form, presented a very appropriate monologue. The sweet voices of Mary Teehan and Jeanne Kelly added to the pleasure of the party. Therese Tuley and Beverly Melnick dramatized humorously 0. Henry ' s famed short story, The Gift of the Magi. January 19, 1948 Dear Diary: Amoeba, protozoa, euglena, Paramecium . . . really, it ' s not Greek, Diary, but simple as A B C ' s, once you ' ve mastered the pride and joy of the Sophomores, BIOLOGY! 56 April 8, 1948 Dear Diary: Because of the huge success of the Christmas Party, our Sophomore Class President, Roxie, realized that our class had much spirit and talent. With that incentive she undertook the task oi writing and directing one of the most outstanding musicales oi all times: College Bred or the Four Year Loaf. Collins Hall was filled to capac- ity both evenings so that we enjoyed a financial and social success. How difficult it was, Diary, to elude the Hollywood scouts! May 23, 1948 Dear Diary: Oh, my aching sacroiliac! What a day! To our tame as actresses, singers, and scholars, we wish to add our athletic prowess. Today we thrilled everyone at Riverside. Trim figures, jileated shorts, and stylish slacks assured ]iosterity that the future Esther Williams and Alice Marble will hail from our own carefree 1950. Tired? . . . Dead? . . . I ' ll say! Good night, Diary. See you! . . . JUNIOR YEAR September 7, 1948 Dear Diary: I ' m all prepared for school tomorrow, dear Diary, but how I shall miss the understanding guidance and dignity of Dr. Kennedy! His passing causes a benumb- ing wound in all our hearts. His ideals will long be a guide to those ivho knew him and an inspiration to the following classes. In all our future college activities, whether they are serious or light-hearted, we shall be cheered by the remembrance of his sympathetic par- ticipation and keen sense of humor. October 4, 1948 Dear Diary: Even though there has been a deep feeling of be- reavement in the college since Dr. Kennedy ' s passing, we shall carry on the traditional program. We are all looling forward to Freshman hazing next week. Now that I am a Junior, I may play some of the age-old, pranks on my willing (?) subjects, my Freshman sisters. October 7-14, 1948 Dear Diary: Diary, what a sight! Pigtails, tooth brushes, ear mufjs, Turkish towel turbans, tea bags, and scores of bracelets were some of the striking decorations of the forlorn Freshmen during the week. The class quartet, Barbara Fitzgerald, Barbara Caliri, Jean Corcoran, and Helen Murray, assure me they ' ll be on hand to do their bit at the banquet tonight. Should be fun, shouldn ' t it, Diary? January 29, 1949 Dear Diary: Ah, an example of motivation! With the coming of more young men to the College, the reason for the large attendance at our chic Fashion Show is quite ap- parent. Long straight skirts, puffed sleeves, short hair- dos, anil other features oi the new look were quickly adopted by our fashionable young ladies. The men have now begun to sit up and take notice. March 8, 1949 Dear Diary: Each year the re has been some subject which seemed to floor me: Freshman Psychology kept me guessing; Biology mis the Sophomore bugbear; and now I ' m kept on my toes by Geography. It is very interesting . . . very thought-provoking. We ' re all aiming for 90 ' s . . . wonder what my chances are . . . May 8-14, 1949 Dear Diary: After suffering through the ordeals of exams, we found our mothers as anxious as we to share in the festivity of the Mother and Daughter Tea this afternoon. The ring ceremony, preceded by the planting of a sap- ling on our campus, brings the Senior year so much closer than I had realized. . . . Everyone agreed that Agnes Boyle, Chairman of the Theatre Party, made a fine choice in the selection of Born Yesterday for our annual play. Maybe it was because the dinner was so delicious or that the flowers were so lovely that every Junior enjoyed herself at the banquet held tonight under the chairmanship of Hazel Hurvitz. As a climax, dear Diary, to a perfectly divine week, tonight we had our Junior Promenade. Beverly Damelin and her committee should be commended for their conscientious work in making this dance so pleasant. Dear Diary, I shall so often desire to flip back your pages and relive the hajipy days of my Junior week! June 1, 1949 Dear Diary: As I look back over the outstanding events of our Junior year, the appointment of Dr. Looney as President of the Teachers College is uppermost in my mind. His congeniality, his ever-present sense of humor, and his understanding spirit have helped to make our college, a united and happy family. SENIOR YEAR September 18, 1949 Dear Diaiy: I understand now my eager anticipation of Cap and Gown Day. The donning of my academic robes today has helped me to bring to reality my past dreams. Much 57 study and knowledge, prestige, and dignity are symbol- ized by this apparel. The embarkment upon a promising career seems very near to attainment. Meanwhile, the last year at college will doubtless bring much enjoyment scholastically and socially. October 19, 1949 Dear Diary: Tonight marked another step forward in the history of T. C. For the first time in its history, the College had an All College Banquet. The support of the student body was overwhelming, each class being well repre- sented. Our guests, the members of the School Com- mittee, gave the students an insight into the teacher ' s part in the effort to solve the multitudinous problems of society. The inspirational talks, the excellent food, and the gala entertainment convinced us that the All College Banquet should be continued as an annua l func- tion. November 25, 1949 Dear Diary: This year the Seniors are having a Pilgrim Prom- enade during the Thanksgiving season. We sophisticated Seniors have the trivial task of selling tickets while the Sophomores, our sister class, are drumming up business during the Assembly periods. Every Sophomore and Senior should have a gay, old time tripping the light fantastic at the dance this evening. December 14, 1949 Dear Diary: Helen Cutler, Chairman of Open House Night, helped students and parents to become more aware of current educational trends by her introductory remarks this evening. The parents enjoyed visiting the various exhibits and becoming acquainted with the intricacies of classroom procedures. Everyone seemed very satisfied with the program. . . . The refreshments were delicious, too. . . . December 21, 1949 Dear Diary: I ' ll wager that my classmates will be the most ca- pable houseivives of the future. I had a sample of the delectable cakes, cookies, and pies which they contrib- uted for the Senior Sale today. The pretty scatter pins, earrings, and embroidery show further capabilities. No wonder the financial remuneration was so substantial. I have always said, Good effort is always rewarded. January 23, 1950 Dear Diary: It is pleasant to know that we have gained many friends during our college years. After a truly delightful tea this afternoon, we all agreed, students and professors alike, that we are truly a happy, integrated unit. The professors whom we have enjoyed in class have became our friends, ready to help us with any problem which may arise in our future careers. February 10, 1950 Dear Diary: We all came, we all saw, but the men conquered our hearts the night of the Lampas Dance. . . . The orchestra, the hotel, and the smiling faces blend into one pictur e in my mind. It all means a wonderful time to me! May 10, 1950 Dear Diary: If there were any talent scouts in the audience to- night while we presented our Senior Play, they would certainly have found enough dramatic talent to supply their needs. Life with Father was received with much acclaim. June-6, 1950 Dear Diary: How quickly our four years of college have flown by! The long-awaited Class Day has come and gone. . . . The girls in their attractive gowns carrying the daisy chain and singing their class song formed a beautiful picture. I remember the long tedious hours we prac- tised for this day, synchronizing our steps to the rhythm of the music. Soon it will all seem like a dream. Even the memory of the Senior Prom will fade into the back- ground, with only you, Diary, as my reminder of it. . . . How joyous, yet how sad! Jane 12, 1950 Dear Diary: Commencement Day! At last I am able to express the pride, the profound exultation, and the humility which penetrated my soul as I walked down the aisle in the academic procession. The responsibility of mold- ing the lives of future citizens is now mine. . . . Good- byes are a thing of the moment, but the hope of future meetings on a professional level helps make my parting easier. Fond farewells and joyful good-byes brought to a close our formal education. Now we shall begin our professional lives. Diary, it ' s been years since I confided to you what I hoped that T. C. could give to me, and in turn, what I should give to it. I remember telling you in quite vague, indefinite terms that I hoped to find belongingness and security within these portals. This I have attained. Here I have found lasting friendships which have helped me to become a more poised individual. I told you, too, that I hoped to be able to satisfy my desire for knowledge by channeling my aspirations in given directions. It was toward the teaching profession that I set my course. With the confidence which has been imparted to me, I now feel that I may enter the classroom with serenity. A valuable contribution to my professional preparation has been made by participation in class undertakings. I have enjoyed doing my share to make them successful, and to develop an ardent spirit of devotion to the College. I now realize the importance of cooperation in the life of any community. Because I have grown in knowledge, power, and understanding, I have achieved what I sought within the portals of my Alma Mater. Helen E. Cutler Beverly E. Damelin Beverly I. Melnick iir.B u. Class PVill CLASS WILL gl With abject apologies to those who seek in a document such as this humor and originality, we do here, in a most matter-of-fact, conventional, and extremely prosaic manner, set forth this, the last will and testament of the Class of 1950. Being of sound mind and body, but aware of the exigencies of life, and mindful that we cannot take it with us, we do hereby leave, bequeath, and transfer to our most worthy professors and benefactors the following possessions and memorabilia acquired in four tumultuous years within these ivy-covered walls. To Dr. Looney: our sincere admiration for his ability to take over and perform his duties so capably that at no time did we feel like the crew of a rudderless ship. To Miss Sallaway: a needle and thread with which to patch up our difficulties and sew up forever our past delinquencies. To Miss Barr: a class as interested in studying Spanish as in hearing of her travels. To Mr. Bertolli: an art room which does not have to double as a meeting place for committees and classes. To Miss Brennan: a speedy way to facilitate her traveling from the English Office to her room tucked away in a corner of the Collins Building. To Miss Bulger: a gilt-edged progress book from each of her students. To Dr. Burnce: a class that can keep up with the subtleties of her sense of humor. To Dr. Collins: a debating club whose members are present more often than they are absent. To Miss Donovan: an express elevator so that her classes need not arrive in a state of exhaustion. To Miss Driscoll: a direction finder so that her students can keep smiling even when seeking the position of the flagpole shadow. To Mr. Dungan: many happy years in our hallowed halls. To Miss Eaton: a class as pleasant, ambitious, and efficient as she. To Miss FitzGerald: a perfect lesson plan resulting from one last final effort. To Miss Gaffey: a magnet to draw Drama Club members to each and every play rehearsal. To Miss Gartland: a volume of French records so that she no longer will have to listen to the inept stumblings of would-be French scholars. To Dr. Gerry: the morale shattering secret of solving (l+l) x . To Miss Gilman: a day long enough to accommodate all her clubs and classes. To Miss Given: soundproofing equipment in order that her students need no longer be distracted by the rumbling of street cars and the strains of Pomp and Circumstance. 59 To Miss Kallen: our admiration of her ability to smile disarmingly and simultaneously dictate notes with alarming rapidity. To Dr. Lynch: just another frog to be dismembered by shuddering sophomores. To Dr. Madden: five different ways of saying How Noiv Brown Coiv and How Do 1 Love Thee. To Mr. McCarthy: a chemistry class that never forgets to shut off the H 2 S generator. To Miss E. O ' Brien: an automatic piano tuner, which also corrects discord- ant voices. To Miss O ' Doherty: trees and flowers all year round, just to simplify nature study. To Mr. Powderly: a map of Pittsburgh, Pa. so that we, too, may see what he saw. To Mr. Quinn: a physics class that does not disintegrate into a battle of the sexes. To Mr. M. H. Read: our most bewildered and confused recollections of streamlined education. To Mr. W. J. Reid: a kind heart with which to temper his tough exams. To Mr. Regan: we need leave nothing — having been assured by his students that he has everything. To Mr. Ryan: the task of fitting minds mathematical and otherwise to teach the third R. To Mr. Sullivan: a new gym and some muscle-men to occupy it. To Miss Trommer: a table without legs so that it can ' t walk away. To the members of the Division of Industrial Arts: a new building, perhaps in the T. C. courtyard. • To our part-time teachers: just a place to call their own. To the Reading Center: fewer cases once we take over the task of teaching the younger generation. To Miss Wadsworth: patience to deal with stage whispers within the sacred confines of the library. To Mrs. Hession and Dr. Moore: a few new and original symptoms of illness — just for variety ' s sake. To the office staff: our thanks for section lists, car check slips, and storage space for valuables. Thus having disposed of nothing of much value and being bereft of verbal platitudes, we do terminte this our last will and testament. Signed, sealed and delivered in this year of our Lord 1950 at The Teachers College of the City of Boston. Joyce Jollimore In witness therof: Much Midnight Oil The Empty Mailbox 60 Class Prophecy Our future, of course, is still a mystery, But may we be so bold As to forecast the future history Of 50 ' s class of green and gold? Did you think, when we sat in the T.C. Senior locker room joking about our fifth sabbatical leave, that we should ever be taking it, Barbara? I never did, Glad, but here we are in Paris. Before we hunt for a hotel, let ' s stop for some cafe au lait in this shop. Allons-y. May I be of some service, Mesdemoiselles? The voice was familiar. Hazel Hurvitz! Gladys! Barbara! Hazel shrieked. Let ' s not be too familiar, we both retorted. It ' s Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Sullivan now. Pardonnez-moi, Mesdemoiselles. Quite all right, Hazel. I ' m so pleased at your success. Dorothy Pugatch, Rita Bertman, and I are existing on the meager receipts from this small establishment. Well, Hazel, we should like to reminisce, but we must be off to find some rooms. As we sauntered down the Rue de la Paix, three familiar faces stared at us from a billboard in front of a drug store. Don ' t we know them, Glad? If we weren ' t in Paris, I ' d be positive they were Nancy Boyle, Jane Casey, and Dorothy Fay. Paris or not, there they are! As our curiosity was aroused, we approached the billboard and read, Three beautiful smiles have we; buy our toothpaste for a small fee. Well, Barbara, they were beautiful even back at T.C. Let ' s be going. As we continued along our way, we noticed a hotel. Shall we inquire about rooms here, Glad? I ' m exhausted. We mustered enough strength to approach the desk. Horn-rimmed spectacles and a black mustache did not disquise the appearance of our classmate, George Ware, the owner of the hotel. When we arranged for rooms, we returned through the lobby. Seated around a table playing cards, we recognized Esther Strachan, Ellen Harrington, James Coyle, and Daniel Coughlin. What are you people doing here? we inquired. Jimmy Coyle replied, We are attending the International Convention for Revision of School Laws. How interesting! we chorused as we continued our conversation. The next day we went to the dining room for an early breakfast. The food, which was very appealing, became even more tempting when we read the name of the chef at the bottom of the menu, Dominic Paolini. Suddenly William Akerberg, the host, was heard shouting, Paging Lord and Lady Byron. All eyes were fixed at once on the distinguished woman and her Byronic husband. We recognized the Lady as Madeline Peyton. Let ' s be off to see the points of educational interest, Glad. Shall we start at the artists ' corner? That would be delightful. We soon arrived at the artists ' colony where a small group attired in black berets and smocks greeted us. Shall I ask them if we may take their picture for our album? I ' m sure they would be honored to be photographed by two such notable educators, Barbara. We were amazed as we approached the group to find it consisted of Ann Sullivan, Barbara Mahoney, Ann Maloney, and Marie Hynes. We were informed that the painting on which they were working was Education in Abstract Design. For several days we inspected all the points of educational interest. It was soon time, however, to bid adieu to Paris; but before departing, we felt we should spend some time in shopping. We made our way to the glove department of the Shoppe pour la demoiselle moderne. Thelma Rayman was behind the counter trying to convince a woman that violet gloves matched her bag perfectly. After making our purchases, we returned to the hotel, packed our bags, and departed. To cross the Pyrenees into Spain was our next move. In order to get the most out of our journey, we decided to cross by ox-cart. While traveling, we were impressed by the pastoral scene. We paused a moment to chat with two shepherdesses clad in white robes and brown sandals. We soon discovered they were none other than Beverly Melnick and Beverly Damelin. For twenty-five years these two labored in the Boston School System. They deserted their profession, however, since they found tending sheep more satisfying than teaching children. We finally crossed into Spain. Our first stop was the American Embassy because there was some difficulty concerning our visas. Once at the Embassy, we were ushered into the office of Jean Fleming, the American Consul in Spain. We chatted for only a short time because lunch was soon at hand. Virginia D ' Arcy, Ruth Conway, and Ann Hutchinson appeared to join Miss Fleming for lunch. When our visas were in order, we left the Embassy and found ourselves on the hot summer streets. What to do? No more points of educational value ... we want excitement. Spain . . . bullfights! What could be a greater thrill? As we made our way to the arena, we saw two women seated on the porch of a charming frame house. On the house was a sign, Pull in to Bull Inn. Barbara, there are Shirley Norton and Mary Deehan. I wonder what they are doing here? We approached. Shirley was the first to reply to our inquiry. Mary and I have been running this inn for aged bull fighters since we retired from the arena ourselves. We were so shocked by seeing Shirley and Mary that we decided we dare not witness the fight. One can never iell whom one might meet there. We returned to our hotel. As we made our way back, we saw four very devout women in a religious order leading a group of small boys. What a peaceful scene, Glad! It ' s very impressive, Barb. As we approached the group, the four humble women raised their eyes. We gasped. These four were Mary Martus, Ann Hoye, Jeannette O ' Hara, and Moira Cummings. We finally arrived at our hotel room and snapped on the radio for some simple diversion. What greeted us but a jingle advertising Jiffy Suds, sung by a quartet of ' Anne White, Rita Caporizzo, Ethel Vozella, and Gordon Copatch. They burst forth with: Wash your duds In Jiffy Suds They are the best In every test. The performance was provocative. After the play we decided to step into a pleasing restaurant which was on our way back to the hotel. As we entered, a familiar face greeted us. What do you wish, ladies? Why, Kay Ahearn, what are you doing here? I might ask the same thing, replied Kay. Dorothea Lazzari, Theresa Sprague and I originally came to England to teach. We found this charming restaurant to be much more profitable, however. We left the hotel in the morning. Before departing from the country, we decided to purchase some books. We entered a picturesque book store and were greeted by the owners, Charlotte Goldenberg and Thelma Rosenfield. After a pleasant chat, we left the book store and heard an American accent over a loud speaker. Step right up and play Phonics, the best game of chance since Bingo. As we stepped into the amusement center, we heard the voice and found it belonged to Mary Teehan. Florence Murphy showed us to a table. Already seated at the table was Kathleen Phillips, who was obviously distressed by her losses. Mary Tully, Mary Page, and Jeanne Kelly were trying to comfort her. Our phonic wheels were placed in front of us by Agnes Boyle, who soon departed. I think we had also better leave, Barb. Isn ' t it amazing seeing all these T.C. people here? The next day we left Spain. It was found necessary for the boat on which we were traveling to be refuelled at the Isle of Elba. Whom should we meet here but the modern Napoleons, Mary Stroup, Therese Tuley, and Helen Cutler, deeply engrossed in discussing a plan for world peace. Our tour continued and we found ourselves back on the Continent again. We travelled through Germany pausing to investigate the famous experiments on the cross breeding of ants and elephants by the world renowned scientists, Helen Murray and Dorothy O ' Keefe. We then decided to visit England. We were delayed in crossing the Channel, however, because a swimmer was also attempting to cross. Ellen Snow was making the perilous journey. Alongside her in motor boats were her two managers, Barbara Caliri and Joyce Jollimore. Claire Keefe was on the scene to photograph the event for the New York Times. On our portable radio we could hear Mary Reardon broad- casting the great event. When we finally arrived in England, we decided to go to the London Stock Com- pany ' s production of Hamlet. On the program we read: Hamlet Zelda Markovitz After our meal we returned to the hotel. The next morning we called at the travel bureau in order to arrange for our trip back home. We located the London Office of the Betts Travel Agency. As we approached the desk of the travel agent, two women hailed us. As we turned around, we saw Enid Parsons and Mary Callahan. What are you two doing in London? we inquired. We ' re getting our M.A. ' s after all these years. Oxford is wonderful. May I help you? inquired the woman behind the desk.. Gloria Stone, how good to see you! We ' ve been touring the Continent. Summer is almost over, however, and we must think about starting back. Our passage was soon arranged for on the S.S. Van Dine. As soon as we were settled in our cabin, a knock was heard at the door. Gladys, Barbara — we heard you were on board. Why Fran Leonard, Virginia Neely, and Edith Pascucci, what are you doing here? we both asked in astonishment. We are the President ' s Board of Economic Advisors. We couldn ' t give up ;conomics after having Mr. Regan. Barbara, we could have been economists, too. There ' s a life with glamour. We took the same course they did. We had Mr. Regan! Gladys, please, would you give up your position as Co-Director of Special Classes in Boston to be an economist? We debated this topic for most of the voyage. Before we were aware of it, we found ourselves gazing at Boston ' s skyline. It was eight A.M. Monday, September 9, 1975 when our boat docked. Come, Gladys, let ' s hurry. Do you realize that this is the first day of school! Yes, my dear, I believe we shall be able to arrive at 15 Beacon Street just in time for office hours. Gladys Rosenberg Barbara B.

Sullivan Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Bertolli Faculty Adviser The Art Club was of great interest to many of the students this year. Each member chose a field of special interest. We learned the different techniques in block printing, silk screen painting, stenciling, and charcoal drawing; we delved into the fields of water color and oil painting. We practiced the application of many of these techniques by decorating various objects. We modeled figures and animals in clay and plasticene. Every member recalls the many pleasant hours spent under the capable direction of our faculty advisers. This club affords its members the opportunity for gaining experience in planning art activities, and at the same time provides a great deal of personal pleasure. Art Club 69 Athletic Association The Athletic Association offers its members a program of recreational ac- tivities. It promotes school spirit, provides enjoyment and diversion, and helps to develop strong, healthy bodies. The games in which the members engage are varied, and they encourage both individual and group participa- tion. Since Teachers College now accepts men as undergraduates, there has developed a new interest in basketball and baseball. Competitions with other colleges, as well as intra-mural games have helped to foster teamwork, co- operation, and friendly rivalry. This club, which includes in its membership all the students of the College, is appreciated for its lively and enjoyable meetings. Helen A.

Les reunions ont lieu une fois par mois; d ' ordinaire, elles consistent d ' une causerie, suivie de jeux et de chansons. Pour nous renseigner sur les evenements contemporains, nous invitons de temps a autre des conferenciers qui parlent de la France. Ainsi, cette annee, nous avons ecoute une explication de la vie scolaire par un professeur delegue d ' un lycee frangais et le recit d ' un voyage en France par une ancienne associee du Cercle. Quand un film frangais interessant est montre a Boston, les membres vont ensemble le voir. En somme, les activites du Cercle servent a approfondir notre connaissance de la culture francaise.

Valorosi Charles Bernazzani Gladys Rosenherg Sarah B. Waldron Dr. Madden Faculty Adviser The current year gave to the students of The Teachers College four issues of Chalkdust, the recently established newspaper, which publishes the latest information concerning classes and clubs as well as other college activities. This sheet contains many interesting features, such as Gleani ngs, a column devoted to the outside activities of the students. Competing with this for the reader ' s attention is the editorial page with its ever-present challenge. The interest shown in Chalkdust has encouraged the editorial board to make plans for an increased number of issues next year. Chalkdust 72 Debating Club The members of the Debating Club feel that training in public speaking should be an integral part of teacher preparation. This year the program for the discussion groups has included topics of public interest and matters vital to the teaching profession. A new device for wider participation by the members was introduced. At the time of the regular meeting, the mem- bers assembled in several discussion groups. This arrangement provides a greater opportunity for everyone to gain skill in presentation and poise in appearing before an audience. Since we expect to spend many hours standing before our classes, we feel that this has been a definite contribution to our educational development. C. Rohert Fuller President Timothy F. Galvin Vice-President Claire A. Hagerty Secretary Barbara H. Mandell Treasurer Dr. Collins Faculty Adviser 73 Drama Club The 1949-50 season of the Drama Club was a very successful one. The plays produced included one-act farce comedies, a three-act production of Shakespeare ' s As You Like It, a reverent Christmas play, and the delight- ful Life with Father. Besides affording experience to those members who were interested in acting, the Club also provided opportunities for those who desired to learn the technical side of play production: for instance, make-up, costume designing, stagecraft, and direction. The Club year ended with the all-college production of Life with Father. Jean X. Gootos President Gloria Marragia Vice-President Eileen T. Kavanagh Treasurer 74 Barbara R. Mahoney President Anita M. Wine Vice-President Lucille M. Ellis Secretary Anne M. Cummings Treasurer Miss Brennan Faculty Adviser Reading niaketh a full man. Good books, good talk, good companions, good coffee — these are the charms which draw a large membership to the Literary Club. The new pro- gram arrangement gives the undergraduate members a full hour at noon for the discussion of current books, but it deprives us of the company of our alumnae sisters. They are with us, however, on our three gala occasions. The traditional Christmas presentation of the Second Shepherd ' s Play, an inspiring address by a guest speaker, and the grand climax in the form of our June pilgrimage to some famous literary shrine are the highlights of our year. Literary Club 75 Mary E. Teehan President Doris A. Trainor Vice-President Patricia A. Conghlin Secretary Carolyn H. Henderson Treasurer Ruth Nebiker Librarian Miss Elizabeth A. O ' Brien Faculty Adviser The Music Club is one of our most interesting and enjoyable organizations. Its members take part in all important school functions. Probably one of the most significant of these is the traditional Christmas Assembly, when the carolers file through the corridors singing the beautiful Christmas hymns. Equally important is the club ' s performance at Commencement. During the past year, the Club has made public appearances before the Home and School Association and at two national conventions of teachers. Throughout the year, much satisfaction is secured through attendance at concerts and musi- cales. This year the Club again heard the performance of the Messiah, given by the Handel and Haydn Society, and presented the Christmas portion of the oratorio to the college Assembly. The season closed with an evening at the Pops. Music Club 76 Science Club The Science Club provides for its members many varied and interesting activities: lectures, scientific movies, and field trips. The members organize an annual Christmas Sale of dish gardens and Christmas greens. Each year, they look forward to the out-of-door supper at Mr. Lamprey ' s estate in Sud- bury. The Club also visits the exhibit of glass flowers at Harvard University, the Flower Show, and the hothouses at Franklin Park. Meetings are informal, and they attract and delight all nature-loving students. Dorothy M. O ' Keefe President Joyce Jollimore Vice-President M. Elizabeth Burns Secretary Eleanore M. Coakley Treasurer Miss O ' Doherty Faculty Adviser pill 77 JVelfare Club The Welfare Club concentrates its attention on charitable work. Its mem- bers strive to aid the sick, the poor, and the needy. Their unselfish contri- bution of time and money has resulted in benefit for many individuals. One of the first projects of the year is the Thanksgiving Drive. Through the careful use of donations, baskets are provided for worthy families. A similar program is launched at Christmas and at Easter, when hospitalized children are presented with gifts. The Club contributes to community campaigns; it also supports such projects as the provision of milk, clothing, and eyeglasses for needy children. The purpose of the Welfare Club is altruistic. Its achievements are mani- fold. Its motto, Education for Service, Service for Education, will always be its ideal. Moira O. Cummings President Mary C. Rogers Vice-President Thomas J.

Burdick, Inc. 294 WASHINGTON ST., BOSTON, MASS. Should you obtain a teaching position in a school where the Loyalty Group Teachers ' Disability Insurance plan is in force, you will be entitled to special advantages and pro- tection, at a cost lower than you could obtain elsewhere under any type of policy. Illness — sudden accident! Then medical expenses — possibly hospital costs — and loss of pay during absence from the classroom. You can guard against these financial strains by enrolling in your Loyalty Group Teachers ' Disability plan admin- istrated by Lester L. Burdick, Inc. If you are contemplating teaching in a system where this plan is in force and wish to enjoy the protection of this broad coverage, low cost policy — why not drop us a card? We ' d like to tell you more about it. 105 PERSONALIZED PORTRAITS and it ' s all done with LIGHTS ! There ' s magic in lights . . . add a light here, place a spotlight there, and your portrait takes on the appearance of real form and individuality. Your Vantine photographer knows how lighting effects can be best used. . . . How easily they can reflect your personality. Your Vantine photographer knows best how to secure the sharply etched photograph your engraver desires of the important senior year. The victories of the athletic teams. . . . The brilliance of social occa- sions. . . . The Prom. . . . The plays. . . . The debates. . . . The ex- pression of everyday life on the campus. That personalized portraits by Vantine are important is attested to by the fact that over 300 schools and colleges repeatedly entrust their photographic work to Vantine.
