MASSACHUSETTS IOtT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1953: am happy to extend to you my sincere congratulations upon the successful com- pletion oj your college course and to express to you my appreciation of the loyalty and the school spirit which you have displayed during the past four years. You, as the first graduates of our college since it has become the State Teachers College at Boston, are about to take your place among the teachers of the Commonwealth. To you will be entrusted the responsibility of training and educating youth in a world overshadowed by conflict and the threat of war. Much depends upon the manner in which you carry out this responsibility. The task before you is great, but you will face it, I know, with faith and courage. May God strengthen you in the years that lie ahead and bless you with success and happiness. William F. Looney, President J-o ike IU ' ccuJiet4,t atiJi = acultu The class of 1953 has now completed the re- quired course of study at the State Teachers College at Boston. For four years we have been guided towards our goal by the President and Faculty. They have inspired us to study and -work. They have counselled us in the methods of guiding youth in the classroom and preparing them for active participation in the life of this city ayid state. Above all., they have taught us the moral values in life itself., that we may ever be aware of them ourselves and strive always to develop such awareness in our own stu- dents. To them, therefore, we owe a great debt of gratitude. We hope to express our appreciation by becoming worthy members of a great profession. Mary Murphy President MISS MARGARET M. SALLAWAY One example is more valuable . . . than twenty precepts written in a book. — Ascham A kind and gracious lady and our very good friend, Miss Salla- way has encouraged and guided us through our college days.

All the activities of the college must be endorsed by S.G.. ' . The association itself conducts the Christmas Assembly, the All College Dinner, Open House Night, the Annual Dance and many other activities. All the students of the college are members of the Student Government Association, and each section is represented by a councillor who is entitled to voice the opinions of his or her section. The executive board consists of the president and vice-president, who are members of the senior class; the second vice-president and the secretary, who are members of the junior class; and the treasurer, who comes from the sophomore class. Meetings are held weekly, at which time all matters of interest to the school are discussed and acted upon. It is the students ' organization by means of which, with the understanding cooperation of the faculty, they have a voice in the affairs of their school.

Through their coop eration happiness is brought to the less fortunate members of the community. At Thanksgiving, baskets are filled to enable the poor to enjoy a more pleasant holiday. At Christmas, a school-wide drive is conducted to collect toys for the many hospitals in the area. The members of the club collect for and contribute to many charitable funds. They also purchase tuberculosis stamps and Easter seals. Under the sponsorship ot the Welfare Club, Care packages are sent. Although the activities are carried on through the efforts of the officers and section representatives under the able direction of Miss Ruth Bulger, every student contributes in some way so that the entire college participates. cr t Lub Presiiient Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisor EDWARD O ' GORMAN HERBERT McCARTHY ADRIANNE BEATON BARBARA NORTON MR.

Exploring the many areas which are open to the students is the specialty of the club, and those who look into our little studio in Room 153 would see us diligently carrying on our activities under the able supervision of Mr. Robert L. Bertolli. Such activities include designing posters for all the college events, and co-operating with the Music and Drama Clubs in costuming and staging the traditional Christmas tableau, Handel ' s Messiah, and the annual college play. c=JJ ebiitLit f s. ciet f Chairman V ice-Chairman Treasurer Secretary Faculty Advisor WILLIAM WARWICK SHIRLEY WALKER THOMAS CULLITY JOHN KESSINGER DR. WILLIAM MARNELL The Debating Society of the State Teachers College at Boston was formed in the interest of developing among the students a better understanding of current national and international problems. A second aim of the society is to extend an opportunity for free expression of ideas and theories on world problems. Items of current interest are dis- cussed during the weekly meetings. Monthly prepared debates and at least one inter- collegiate debate are included in the plans for the society. Future plans include the forma- tion of a debating league coinprised of the colleges in the vicinity and of other State Teachers Colleges. The executive board of the society consists of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer under the direction of Dr. Marnell. c=JJ) ' canta K litb President CYRILL GREEN Vice-President NICHOLAS TRANQUILLO Treasurer JACQUELINE MAC HOTT Secretary ELIZABETH RYAN Faculty Advisor MISS M. MARGARET GAFFE Y The main object of the Drama Ckib has been to provide an appreciation of dramatic literature, to study the technique of dramatic acting, and to act for the pure joy of acting. Besides offering a medium through which the various members of the college may express themselves, it plays an important part in college life. This year the Club provided the school with its traditional miracle play at Christmas, and in May presented for the public John Patrick ' s delightful comedy. The Curious Savage. The presentation of a college play is the major project of the Drama Club. While the play is officially a junior class affair, this effervescent comedy was made an outstanding success only through the spirited cooperation and patro nage of the entire student body.

En participant a des jeux, en faisant des exposes sur la peinture et la musique, et en jouant des roles dans de petites comedies, les membres apprennent a manier la langue avec plus de confiance et de souplesse. Au moyen de belles photographies et de belles reproductions, ils arrivent a mieux connaitre les monuments celebres de Paris et les pittoresques coins de la Bretagne et du Midi. Chaque annee il y a aussi des reunions en ville: a un restaurant frangais ou ils s ' initient a la cuisine frangaise, ou a un cinema pour voir un film trangais. En somme les membres du Cercle profitent beaucoup de ces reunions tout en s ' amusant enornu ' ment.

The aims of the club are to widen the literary horizons of the members, and to cultivate their literary tastes. Besides presenting at the monthly meetings interesting guest speakers, the club offers a program of extra activities, such as theatre parties and pilgrimages to literary shrines. An additional attraction of the meetings is the coffee hour, which follows the speaking program. yVlitnc liiD President RUTH NEBIKER Vice-President BEATRICE BALDASARRO Secretary CATHERINE YOUNIE Treasurer JOSEPH DESARIO Faculty Advisor MISS ELIZABETH A. O ' BRIEN The Music Club plays a most active part in our college life since it provides the music tor all college functions, including Open House Night and the exercises at Commence- ment. The group presents as an Assembly program an annual performance of Handel ' s oratorio, The Messiah. Its activities also include attendance at a concert of the Handel and Haydn Society — an annual event tor club members and invited guests. The club partici- pates in the Christmas Assembly and later leads the way to the gym, singing Nazareth. It takes part also in many civic and community functions. This year the members sang at a National Convention at the Sheraton Plaza and also at the Governor ' s Reception on February 23, 1953. Besides providing a musical program on these more formal occasions during the college years, the members of the club enjoy other social activities during their frequent meetings.

LYNCH The activities ot tiie Science Club are many and varied. All of the undertakings are of a scientific nature, not of pure science, but ot functional science as it is applied to everyday life. One of the most important projects of the Science Club is the annual Christ- mas sale. Candelabras, yule logs, flower gardens, and corsages made by the members of the club are sold to the students and faculty. The proceeds of the sale are added to the treasury which every year makes additions to the MacRae Scientific Library. Other projects during the year are suggested by the members, the officers, and our faculty advisor. Field trips followed by weenie roasts, hikes, and an outing are also yearly activities. This year, in addition, the club has examined the processes of various industrial and mechanical plants such as The Record-American, The Edison Company, The Telephone Company, and The Hood Milk Company. Further activities of the Science Club include a trip down the harbor on a harbor patrol boat and a tour on the Boston and Maine car through the railroad yards. The members of the Science Club have the opportunity of getting behind the scenes to see science in the making.

An offset lithograph has replaced the mimeograph sheets, giving our paper an entirely new appearance. The staff has been eagerly experimenting with the new form and illustrated columns have been tested successfully. Many other items such as short stories and poetry will be added as CHALKDUST increases in size. At the present time, each issue presents college news, important club events and sports results. One of the most popular features of the CHALKDUST is its Pro and Con column which affords students an opportunity to judge both sides of pertinent ques- tions. The editorial column follows a policy of constructive criticism, especially concerning itself with current problems within the college itself. With continued support from the student body, the staff hopes to continue its program of improving our newspaper. A good newspaper plays an important role in the lives of its readers.

FARRELL Upon payment of her Self-Government dues, every woman in the College automatically becomes a member ot the WAA. ■ The association, which meets twice a week, offers a variety of activities to the women students. In the fall, volleyball, climaxed by intra-mural games, is the predominant sport. Basketball occupies most of the winter months. Competitive games with other colleges have resulted in keen interest in the progress of the team. In the spring interest turns to Softball, and armed with bats and balls, the girls invade the Fenway. In addition to these major activities, other sports, such as ping-pong and bad- minton, are played all year round. The cheerleaders, a recent addition to the association, lend their support to the boys ' baseball and basketball games. Numerous playdays, when two or more colleges get together to engage in non-competitive games, offer the girls an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with the women of other colleges.

KathoLiine Shute iiltnaMater We, the members of the class of 1953, are assembled here today to enact a traditional ceremony — the planting of the college ivy. For us, this is a ceremony fraught with symbolic significance. We have planted just a little sprig ot green, but that single spray, drawing nurture from the rich soil of this courtyard, soon put forth fresh young tendrils, which twining and intertwining, will in the course of the years cover a large area of the college building, transforming a plain brick wall into a thing ot beauty. It may be said that four years ago, we, too, were planted in the carefully cultivated soil of college life and in the intervening years have drawn from it matur- ity, both intellectual and spiritual, until today we stand ready to put forth our knowledge and wisdom. This plant which we leave in memory of our class suggests many lessons which we should bear in mind. By itself, a single sprig of ivy would be unim- pressive, but with many others, it may add greatly to the loveliness of the world. Working alone, each of us would have a limited influence, but our joint efforts be- come far-reaching. The ivy, moreover, never stops reaching out and upward. We, too, must never cease in our quest for learning; we must strive for growth and labor constantly to increase the scope of our understanding. Furthermore, as we take delight in the sight of the ivy, we are reminded that the teacher can be a source of beauty in the lives of the children; for some children she may be the only source. We must resolve, therefore, to enrich the lives of those entrusted to our care. Finally, the ivy grows always guided by an Invisible Hand. Let us re- member that we too are guided by the same Hand. Let us thank Him for leading us to our present goal and pray that He may give us the grace to serve Him humbly in our work with youth. Mary Murphy L Lasj ::r-T ' uht f With Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe Once upon a June day cheery, while we pondered weak and weary Over many a fond and wistful memory of our college lore, While we sat there, reminiscing, freshmen came and stood a-listening. Asking of our treasured memories, now that college life is o ' er. This is the story we did utter, this the tale we did outpour. Only this and nothing more. Ah! distinctly we remember, it was in a bright September As each eager Freshman member bounded up to T.C. ' s door. Juniors met their new relations, threatening grim initiations! Oral English! Education! Never worked like this before! Midyear madness! Final frenzy! moments that we did deplore Nameless here forevermore. Presently the year departed: then the second year we started. By our grave and stern decorum we were known as Sophomores. Holly Hop and Spring Dance gay were the bright spots on the way. Swimming proved to be a chore: we were built for life ashore. Then in weekly observation, teaching methods to explore. We perched and sat and nothing more. Freshmen came and bowed before us, as we sang a welcome chorus. Then our new found recognition quickly made our spirits soar. For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing such a Junior week before, And our show of Springtime fashions, bringing loveliness galore Shall be equaled nevermore. Senior year we reached at last; school days then were nearly past. As a mark of our distinction, cap and gown we proudly wore. Practice teaching half the year, the other half we spent in here. Senior week was full of cheer, but too soon the days were o ' er. Graduation marked the end, cherished memories there we stored. Parting then, and nothing more. Elizabeth Sullivan Nancy Sheehan Claire Kennedy Joan Johnson ■ ==:== Cl.. lAJ-di a We, the class of nineteen hundred fifty-three, upon the nearly miraculous, suc- cessful completion of our studies at the Teachers College do hereby spread upon this paper our last will and testament. All inheritance taxes are prepaid. To you. Doctor Looney, we bequeath our deepest appreciation for your guidance during our four years of intellectual, cultural, and social advancement. Our progress in these respects during our final year has been without parallel in the second century of the institution. To you we leave the hundreds of students who will follow us, looking to you for leadership. It may be a mean trick to play on you, but we have to look out for the members of our own union. To you, the Juniors, we leave the honor and traditions that coincide with the act of becoming Seniors. You, as Seniors, inherit the priceless possession ot being the top ranking students in a top ranking college in the state which ranks fourth from the top in New England. As we leave Teachers College, you, the Sophomores, will always hold a favorite place in our memories. As our sister class, you gave to us many cherished memories. Freshmen Week and Junior Week are activities that we shall always recall. Now we give you the opportunity of becoming Juniors and with the advancement to assume the re- sponsibilities of guiding your own sister class. Don ' t, however, guide them for coflPee when they should be in class. You, the Freshmen, inherit the greatest gift; namely, three years at Teachers College. Make the most of the three years both educationally and socially. To leave Teachers College means to embark upon our adventure in the world. No longer shall we have the guidance of you, our faculty; nor, shall we have the assignments. Your training has given us the confidence that we shall need to make our own decisions. It is you who have given us the implements with which we can reap our harvest. During our years of studying at Teachers College, you have enriched our lives with knowledge. We deeply appreciate your endeavors. Even more shall we always appreciate your personal in- terest in us even when you asked us why we cut a class. No words of gratitude would suffice to cover the thanks we owe you. All we can leave you is the promise that we will do ourbest to live and work as you have trained us. But before we can do even that, we must get jobs. To that noble purpose we now dedicate ourselves. Upon completion of our college years, we leave many traditions. We leave them in name only, however, for they will always be an integral part of our college memories. All we can leave to Teachers College is thanks for being our alma mater. We promise to go forth holding the torch higher. Robert E. Donahue f H f « K la i (U ' covkeci On this illustrious occasion, the first meeting at Boston of the National Council for the Study of Progress and Advance in Educational Institutions under the Guidance of Prudent Teachers, I, the 596th president wish to welcome you on this seventh day of June, in the year of our Lord, twenty fifty-three. We, the members of N.C.S.P.A.E.I.G.P.T., have gathered here today to pay humble tribute to that progressive and prescient group of teachers known throughout this modern world as the Class of 1953 from that historic and venerable institute, the State Teachers College at Boston. What wonders! What progress! what abounding knowledge those dear old teachers have bestowed on this world of ours! Consider our situation today! Pill learning is no longer a dream; it is a reality! In marked contrast to the struggling, book-laden, psychologically upset student of 1953, we have a relaxed, unburdened, peaceful student, learning wliat he wants to learn when he wants to learn it, in the atmosphere in which he wants to learn it. Because of the advances made in the study of pill learning as a beneficial method of education, pills of beautiful colors, containing also food calories, have been developed to be used in conjunction with the art and health programs. Arithmetic, lan- guage, geography, and history pills now come in the colors red-orange, blue-green, and red-violet, and in the flavors butterscotch, pineapple, chocolate, and cherry. Teachers today, who have the degree of R.N. as well as B.S. Ed. are very pleased with the results gained from their pupils who are being taught by means of pills. i ' lthough the school day is still five hours, the regular occurrence of fifteen minutes rest periods, after the administering of any pill, has eliminated all strain and fatigue. Advancements in language also date back to the Class of 1953, for they were the group responsible for the development of our International Language. A recent study of the N.C.S.P.A.- E.I.G.P.T. shows that in 1953 great problems arose among nations because no common language was known to all people. Such words as hello ?LnA goodbye, love and hale, war a.nd peaee, were constantly confused. These problems, however, were expertly solved by the language students of the Class of 1953 when they formulated the International Language. After they had invented the language, these students sat back and rested on their laurels. Persuading all people to use this language was the task of the social studies and history students. It must be admitted that progress is slow. Stub- born nations still cling to the old languages. The fact that work on that project is still incomplete is no indication of its being unsuccessful. Nor were those dear teachers of the Class of 1953 content with their achievements in education alone. They, through their wisdom and foresight, influenced all the other fields of learn- ing. Looking into the world of art of one hundred years ago, we find that the artists of the Class of 1953 were thoroughly confused with what they then called Modern Art. To be sure the term, modem, as applied to the art of a century ago seems ridiculous, but nevertheless, that is what they called it. The basic trouble in the art world of 1953 was the constant search for meaning in art. Because of the efforts of the Class of 1953, we know there is no meaning. Of course, some critics maintain that there is no art either, but that is a trivial matter. Far more popular have been the efforts of the Class of 1953 to revolutionize the world of fashion. The women of today are no longer bothered by budgets for clothes. The twelve way reversible dress known as the sari-pinakimore, which works like a Venetian blind, one flick and a new color or design, is the blessing of all ages. In spite of the evolution in women ' s fashions, men, with their silly tastes and prejudices, stubbornly refused to improve or change their costumes. They are still wearing plain suits and shirts. In fact, we suspect that some of them are still wearing suits handed down by the class of 1953. Now that we have seen the manifold contributions of the Class of 1953, is there any doubt that great things have been wrought from their small but progressive beginnings? Unfortu- nately, that class made so much progress that there is not a bit left for us. We must humbly recog- nize the tact that all that could have been done, should have been done, and even that which could not have been done, was done a century ago by that famous Class of 1953.

How soon is youth in strength and vision grown And under counsel wise. Yours is the power To shape the world with magic all your own. Be constant in allegiance to the trust That you have pledged to guard the holy light. Keep faith strong in your heart, and be not vain Of gold and glory, virtue lost to sight. Though mean and mighty shall be struck to dust, The soul is never numbered with the slain. Inheritors of Freedom, justly dear! Receive it with a vow of greater zeal To hold a purpose proud, a duty clear To Her, Whose strength was forged in strokes of steel Of hand and heart against all harsh alarms. Tempered with a wisdom born of time. And nourished by the blood and fire of youth. Keep faith with Her; a selfless cause sublime Will gird you with unconquerable arms Of Honor, Justice, Charity, and Truth. Mark well your task; upon my timeless strand New feet will tread where once your own have trod. Guide them in paths of light; teach them to stand In challenge to deceit — in fear of God. Keep faith with them, that length of years may see The measure of your sacrifice endure In tongues that sing with joy of hope again; In hands that hold the bonds of law secure; In union strong; in mind and spirit free; In hearts that dwell in peace with God and men.

For thou hast shown to us the path By which we strive to reach the height, In leading youth with hope that they May nobly seek the light. Hail, Alma Mater, great and strong, O that thy fame may always be Our proud refrain for all to know Our hearts are pledged to thee. Blanche U. Tuleja i . ■ L i C Ai-au It has become almost a custom with those who are asked to speak at a college commence- ment to dwell at length upon the challenge which the development of the so-called atomic age has flung before the youth of the world. The central theme of such discourses, seems to be that today, as at no other time in the history of the world, mankind is faced with the horrifying prospect of its ulti- mate self-destruction through a force the immensity of which staggers the imagination. The direful prophecy goes on to tell us that we must somehow learn to harness our awtul invention or else, like a sort of Frankenstein ' s monster, atomic power will turn on Man who created it and annihilate him and the whole human race. Having properly frightened the audience, the speaker then summons his full oratorical powers and concludes by telling his young listeners that they, who represent the future generation must now go forth to meet the challenge. Theirs is the task of saving the world! Now I do not wish to ridicule those who sound such warnings nor to minimize the dangers which confront us; for only a fool would say that the atom bomb is not the most powerful means yet devised by man for the purpose of bringing death to his fellow men. To say, however, that we have entered an entirely new era in history, one in which we face for the first time the possi- bility of race suicide, seems to me to be merely a thoughtless exaggeration. There is a saying from the Bible which is familiar to all of us: There is no new thing under the sun. In the same chapter are the words, Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time which was before us. It would be well, I think, for those who warn that the world now stands on the brink of destruction to consider the import of these few sentences, for they apply as much to our own day as to the time in which they were written. This atomic warfare of which we speak, often with a mixture of pride in having created something so powerful and fear of that very power, — what is it, after all, but a new way of causing death. Yet surely death itself, in any form, is not new. Nor is the vast scale upon which the bomb produces death something hitherto unknown to man. The terrible plagues which swept across Europe during the Middle Ages brought death to untold millions of men and women who were as defenceless as animals in their ignorance of any method of protection from disease. And still, the human race managed to survive. Yet let us grant, for a moment, that civilization, for the first time, actually is faced with the possibility of complete extinction in an atomic war. What can we do to prevent such a war? If there is one lesson to be learned from history, it is that the human heart with its puzzling mixture of greed and generosity, love and hate, has not changed in all the thousands of years during which man has inhabited the earth. Men and nations today, are making the same foolish mistakes that have been made since the beginning of time. Would it seem reasonable, then, to expect the young people of today, who are just as inexperienced and unwise as was the youth of yesterday, to be able to save the world from disaster? Those who believe that man ' s continued existence depends entirely upon the way in which future generations respond to the challenge of life in an atomic age have made one vital mistake. They place too much faith in men and too little in God. In a time so marked by fear and uncertainty, there is little to be gained by talking about the terrible possibilities of the atom, or by filling the minds of youth with the idea that the future of the world depends on them. It does not depend on them. It depends on God and it is time that we begin teaching youth to acknowledge that fact. This is not to say that the actions of men mean nothing. What each of us does, good or bad, has an effect on the world, but even our best is small compared to the power of God. We still teach children to pray, but there is one prayer particulary suited to the troubled years in which we live: — Thy will be done. Ann E.
