Presented by the Class of 1955 •%if 1 i ' ■ v- i ' Zo Mrs. William J. Cooney Our Tirst Cady whose courage in the face of adversity has mspired us, whose gracious presence and warm friendliness have brightened our college days. Admmlstmtioft TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1955: The completion of an academic year and the graduation of a college class bring happiness and pride to a college administrator. One feels a certain quiet regret at the passing from the college walls of a class which has contributed so much to our company . But there is a happiness and pride as well at the thought that the institution can foster the development of such a class. Beyond this, there is the quiet confidence that the class of 1955 shall make its solid contribution to the profession of its choice. Teaching is a dedicated life, and at its finest it is worthy of life ' s finest minds and purest hearts. The class of 1955 has its share of both. It is with corifidence, pride, happiness — and regret — that I bid you God-speed. William F. Looney, President MISS MARGARET M. SALLOWAY Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning. — Apocrypha MR. HERBERT REGAN Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another. — Addison V(f the President and the Jaeulty After four years it is with deep regret that we leave these halls of higher education. To the President and the members of the faculty we extend our deep ayid sincere appreciation for their help through these years. IV e thank them for their patience and their understanding that have enriched and made fruitful our college life. Let us assure President Looney and the members of the faculty that we of the class of 1955 shall strive always to maintain the ideals which they have instilled in us. D.

Beaton, Jr., President Mary Frances Sullivan, Second Vice President Standing: Marilyn Connolly, Secretary Mary Donahue, Treasurer Club jictivities The college has acknowledged the need of well-rounded men and women, capable of civic leadership, cultured in the arts, and conscious of the international prob- lems of present day living. The aim of the program is the development and enrichment of well-integrated personalities. Our club activities are concerned first with the formation ot the good citizen, trained in self-government and conscious of the community in which he lives. The prin- ciples of democratic government are exercised within the college through the Student Government Association. It develops in the students a spirit of co-operation, a sense ot integrity, and a feeling of loyalty. Each section of the college is represented by a coun- cillor who voices the opinion of the students in his section. The executive board is com- posed of a president and first vice-president from the senior class; a second vice-president from the junior class; and a treasurer from the sophomore class. Meetings are scheduled each week so that matters of immediate importance may be acted upon. All extra-curricular activities must be endorsed by the S.G.A. Such activities as Open House Night, the All-College Dinner, and the S.G.A. Formal are sponsored by the S.G.A. Thus, the young citizen learns the basic principles ot self-government under a democratic system. The student must consider not only the problems of self-government but must be aware of the needs of others in his community. The Welfare Club is organized for such an end. It fosters among the students an understanding of the needs of their fellow citi- zens. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, baskets and toys are distributed to unfortunate and hospitalized members of the community. The Club carries on its good work under the able guidance of Miss Bulger, who directs a group of elected officers and class representa- tives. Because life in the community is so important to everyday living, the student must be informed of the activities in his community. An awareness of community life is achieved through the Science Club. Here the emphasis is on practical science and its application in the affairs of living. A feature of the club ' s activities is group tours of in- dustrial plants. Outings, hikes, and trips are arranged by the faculty representative. Dr. Mary Lynch, and the club members. Through such clubs as the Art, the Literary, the Drama and the Music Clubs the students find cultural outlets. At bi-monthly meetings, the Literary Club broadens the literary horizons of its members. Guest speakers, theatre parties, and pilgrimages compose the club ' s activities. Directing this group of aspiring intellectuals is the capable hand of Dr. Regina Madden. Through the Drama Club, the students ' Thespian interests are fur- thered. Not only acting, but also the literature of the theatre is emphasized. The Art Club seeks to develop the latent ability in the interested art student. Under the dedicated leadership of Mr. Robert Bertolli, the dynamic program of the club has attracted new and enthusiastic members. A plan of co-operation between the Music and Drama Clubs has produced memorable costuming and staging of the traditional Christmas oratorio and the school plays. Through the Music Club, we find the school reaching out into the com- munity. This club is one of the most outstanding clubs in the college. Miss Elizabeth O ' Brien ' s admirable direction has won the club the honor of singing at numerous civic functions, including the Governor ' s Washington ' s Birthday Reception. International understanding, so important in world life, is developed through the activities of the Spanish and French Clubs. Through their rich and diversified pro- grams, the student is made aware of the contributions of other nations to our culture. The appreciation and understanding of the French and Spanish cultures is achieved through the devoted efforts of Miss Gartland and Miss Barr. All activities carried on by the clubs are recorded and reported in our college newspaper, Chalkdust, a newspaper of which the college is justly proud. It features campus news, sports, and section coverage besides featured articles by students and faculty. The hard-working staff under the steadying hand of Miss Marjorie Holt is an excellent reason for hope of continuing growth and quality. Thus, through the activities of the Club Program, the student is able to develop his personality in well-balanced totality. When he graduates, he does not feel he leaves the clubs, for he is able to take something of each of them into everyday living. isVloW c« ypow Take a look, take a peek, Did you ever see models so Glance this way, take a gander, Have you ever viewed fashions grander?

Throughout the school year, it offers to its members a variety of activities and aims at producing good sports and skillful players. This year the fall season was ushered in by team games such as volley ball, badminton, and ping-pong. Proficiency in all of these games has been developed under the direction of Miss Marie Farrell. Basketball, however, has been the chief sport of the W. A. A. Regular scheduled scrimmages were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the gym. The ' more skilled players formed a varsity team which competed with neighboring colleges. It was through the combined efforts of the players that our team was so successful in all its endeavors. With the coming of spring, Softball bats and gloves were in evidence about the Fenway, where the T. C. Softball enthusiasts practiced and played. With our transfer from a city to a state college, we came into close contact with other state teachers colleges. One of the outcomes of this were the Play Days. Play Days involved an exchange of visits among the colleges. Games and sports formed the center of the activities planned for that day by the host college. Rivalries were forgotten as all joined together in common fun. It was during these informal get-togethers that new and lasting friendships were acquired, and an exchange of ideas was accomplished. Athletic conferences, ski weekends, modern dance clubs, a variety of healthful sports, and com- petitive activities all add up to four years of sports and happy recreation. Those who took advantage of these opportunities derived a sense of pleasure, satisfaction, and ac- complishment.

M ' s At f et c Associat ' m The Men ' s Athletic Association has been most successful during the past tour years. The basketball and baseball teams have become well known among the other col- lege teams in the vicinity of Boston. Our achievements in the field which has been ours are not so significant as the fact that we have laid the foundation for a larger and a more active athletic program. The introduction of two new sports to the athletic program, golf and bowling, is ample evidence of our aim to broaden the athletic enterprises of Boston Teachers College. The thrills and disappointments of the teams ' victories and defeats will add many days to our calendar of reminiscence. The greatest contribution to the College has been in the establishment, this year, ot a Varsity Club and an Athletic Department. These ventures, though in their infancy, are certain to bring us a great deal of satisfaction in the future. It is rewarding to know that we have been instrumental in the establishing of organizations that are certain to spread the name of Boston Teachers College throughout New England. v Ketrospect Class Poem Zhe KespoMse Who are we? What have we become? Listen to a buoyant breeze . . . Tell me teacher, tell me please, Why don ' t little birdies sneeze? I can whistle; why can ' t dogs? Why was Abe ' s house made of logs? What have we ended? What have we begun? Heed the questions old yet new, Tell me teacher, tell me true: Tell me why the sky is blue, Tell me why the grass grows green. Show me things I ' ve never seen. Who are we? We are adventurers and pioneers, We are molders and artists. We are mothers and fathers and guides. We are Law and enforcement of Law, We are sunset and evening, and sunrise and dawn, We are days already gone and days yet to come. It ' s all over now? It ' s done? It ' s the end of the beginning . . . — Judith Devine Class Mistory It was September, 1951, when we first entered the halls of Teach- ers College. The first weeks were a mild confusion of doors, classrooms, and schedules. Our worst fear was getting lost between Dr. Gerry ' s lec- tures in Collins Hall and Miss Donovan ' s health class in 302. Initiation was handled masterfully by the juniors ... so were we. We counted carefully our ten pieces of jewelry, we burned the midnight oil making like Lily Dache. How many green and yellow bows had you retained by the sixth hour? History left its mark on us as we carried home our volumes of Civilization Past and Present. We articulated and gesticulated our way through Oral English, and gave evidence of our social potentialities by run- ning the Spring Festival. With Al Beaton at the helm and Mary Benson as able secretary we closed our Freshman year, but not before we had picked the daisies. How is your allergy? Our Sophomore year found us enmeshed in a web of biology and English literature classes. That was the year we learned to appreciate. Remember Collins Hall . . . recordings of Beethoven and slides of St. Pet- er ' s? We gave evidence of comprehension of educational principles when we executed a transfer of learning from English literature to the social calendar. From the northern mists came Beowulf, the star of all skits, to forecast the successful Beowulf Ball. Whatever became of our six foot shield bearing the class coat of arms? Not so successful but nevertheless a noble experiment, the Sophomore stag, SOS, turned out to be an SOS, but it was fun. All these activities increased our poise so that at last we were con- sidered wise enough to be let into that sanctum sanctorum the classroom. On alternate weeks we visited either the Martin or the Farragut School, and gladly would we learn and gladly teach. What did you do with your three? September, 1953 ... we were juniors. Our first task under the able direction of our class officers Ed Boucher, Maureen Moloney, Warren Barry, and John Grillo was to impress the freshmen with their extreme youth and immaturity. Remembering our own anguish we meted out a belated justice: bonnets, lollipops, and balloons studded the hall during initiation. As testimony of our sophistication, we ran the Parisian Nocturne. The gym never had such a continental charm . . . candlelight, French berets, and Apache dancers. That charm was produced by hard labor . . . did you wax bottles, did you melt candles? And the scandalous aftermath . . . where is my table? Our next social event, the Shamrock Dance, had to be successful without tables. But life had its grimmer side, too. Tightening up at Assembly! Special seats! Oh, yes, and a special Assembly!! Were you caught when the axe fell? Is that the way you learned that there are no cuts? Teaching, too! Shall we ever forget our first lesson . . . clammy hands and butterflies. Then Junior Week. The Parents ' Reception at the Somerset, the Ring Ceremony, the Banquet at the Toll House, Pops, the Prom at the Fatherly Country Club.

TheHaunt was our first social of the year, a grand success. In December we were interna- tionally minded and conducted an all- day fair. In January we danced to the Snow Flurry. A flair for the unusual made our spring fashion show outstand- ing. The months flew by and Senior Week was upon us. The Faculty Tea, theOuting, the Banquet, Class Day, and Commencement. This was truly a glo- rious climax to our four wonderful col- lege years. Robert E. Francis _ _ _«_ _ Rosemar A. Keiran Ceo urr .

We stepped into the airlock where Patricia Corcoran, of the Terman Research Institute, our hostess for the trip, greeted us and listed our itinerary for our return to Teachers College for the Twenty-Fifth Reun- ion of the Class of ' 55. We went aboard where we met the Flight Captain, Major Frank Moakley, United States Marine Corps, Flight Lieutenant Bill Walsh, and astrogator Paul Sullivan. Thomas Adams, Flight En- gineer, arrived next with Pauline Valois, Education Consultant for the Federal Communications Commission, Mary Boyle, and Judith Devine, both on sabbatical leave from Columbia University. Tom Cullity, U. S. Olympic track coach, escorted Marie Dello- Russo, newly appointed Director of the Boston Public Library, to her seat where she was joined by Mary Benson, President of Vassar College, and Irene Hickey of the Smith College faculty. Phyllis Colley, President of the National Education Association, arrived amply supplied with space-sickness remedies. New York City was our first stop. Here the Metropolitan Opera Company presented Aida, starring Barbara Weiher and Era Kanes. Our tickets were gift of Nancy Buckley and Ann Welsh of the Juilliard School of Music. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we were guided by Curators Adrienne Beaton and Ellen Colleran. They had arranged a sur- prise for us, for on either side of George Lerra ' s world famous painting Schoolteacher s Holiday, stood the artist and his inspirations Miriam Dudley and Helen MacLeod, all of whom joined our group. The next day, in Spain, we were met by Bill Clougherty, cover photographer for Life Magazine, and Professor of Graphic Arts at the University of Madrid, who was covering the world tour of the concert troupe of Mary Larkin, Joseph DeSario, and their accompanist, Marjorie Rogers, at whose residence we were entertained by Catherine Donovan of the University of Toledo and Robert Francis of the World Education Alliance. In gay Paris, Professor Marie Morello of the Sorbonne met us with Patricia Devine and Jeanne Reardon, whose School of Fashion boasts the services of designers Margaret Haley and Jane Monahan. In London, Elizabeth DePasquale of the United Nations invited us to a party given by Patricia Kelley of the LTniversity of London for Ann McCloskey of The National Education Association journal. Here we met Margaret Ennis, of the LInited States Olympic Association, and Joseph Nicholson, winner of the British Open. The Pegasus was half full now as we lift off for the land of pyra- mids. At Cairo, we gathered in U. N. Secretary-General Herman Libman, Robert Kime of the World Boys ' Clubs, and William Warwick, chairman of the International Boy Scouts. In Tokyo we were entertained by authors Jeanne Slattery and Margaret Holtzman, and Nobel Prize winner Kathleen Hayes. Two days later we were joined by Professors Mary Lou O ' Brien, Barbara Smith and Eleanor McGuire of the faculty of the University of Melbourne. In Honolulu, Marilyn Scipione and Mary Pigott invited us to a party in honor of Pulitzer Prize Winners Honora O ' Connor and Adeline Vitiello. A long stopover in San Francisco permitted us time to attend the Publication Education Conference presided over by Dr. Joan Walsh of Boston Latin School, where a new theory in higher mathematics was in- troduced by Dr. Helen Quirk of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Arriving at last at our destination, world tour complete and successful, we were welcomed back by T. C. faculty members Ellen O ' Brien and Lorraine Sullivan, and Dean of Women Maria Gianibas.

It ' s with regret that we must go, There ' s nothing left for us to know! Frances E. Corcoran Shirley L. McLean Class Bssay From the beginning of time, men have been concerned with the education of the young. So many books have been written and so many schools of philosophy have been developed around this theme that it seems trite and redundant to treat of it once more. However, just because there have been so many patterns and theories developed, it becomes our duty to reappraise the problem in order that we may have a firm basis for our future action as classroom teachers. Let us, therefore, at the outset remember that the child is, as we know, a creature in the likeness of Almighty God. He has both spiritual and material sides and we must never forget our work concerns both. While we are preparing him for a life in the world of things, we must also prepare him for a proper appraisal of these things. The world in which we live is often referred to as a society, a coming together of many individuals who give up some of their rights in order that we all may live together in harmony. A natural unit in society is the family. It is in the give and take of family life that the child first learns to work with others. This is a natural situation, sanctioned by natural law and indeed by Almighty God. From the family grows the tribe or clan and from these the state, or nation is a logical development. Since we do live in a complex society, it is understood that we must limit our freedoms in terms of the rights of others. The Great Teacher has reminded us of this when He advises us to do unto others as we would have others do unto us. Now as teachers going forth from this institution we are responsible for the hand- ing on to the next generation these ideas and ideals. It is up to us to develop the spiritual side of the child as well as the material side so that after he leaves us he will have a clear understanding of his responsibilities to God and to society. We must do this both directly and indirectly. We must be sure these young people have been given the rules and precepts, but most of all by our own personal lives we must set for them a good example. If we teach one doctrine and practice another, our work will be in vain. This places upon us, therefore, a responsibility of living a good lite as well as preaching it. In following the above code, we are, of course, the agents of the parents. It is their prime responsibility to educate their children. We are hired to carry out their wishes. Our authority stems from them. They expect us to be well prepared scholastically and spiritually. They expect us to take their place for a certain number of hours each day and to guide their youngsters and mold them into responsible, well-informed citizens of the state and children of God. It is in this last relationship that the teacher rises to his supreme calling. As agents of the parents we become the agents of God. It is in this supreme responsibility that we face our most severe test and our most pleasant task. To us is given the oppor- tunity to foster in the children entrusted in our care a love of God and a love of their fellow man. Only when we meet the full responsibility of this two-fold undertaking are we entirely true to the lofty ideals of our profession. But no goal short of entire truth to schol- arly integrity and moral rectitude is worthy of the teacher ' s aspiration. ]ane E. Monahan 55 Adi ertiseme ts Patrons Mr. and Mrs. George F.
