Learn that word by heart. Get to saying it in your sleep. Of all the joys in this terrestrial sphere, there is none quite so soul-satisfy- ing as making good. Do your work a little better than any one else could do it. That is the margin of success. And efficiency and success go hand in hand. Do things, not wishing you could do them, dreaming about them, or wondering if you can do them, but gain the power to learn how by doing them. Apply theory to practice. Turn defeat into experience and use it to achieve SUCCESS. America’s opportunities lie before you! Be alert, have your presence of mind, and adjust yourself to the unexpected. Banish regret, worry, and fear. Be persistent, but polite. Apply your education, mind, body, and heart. Concentrate, visualize, and use your common sense. You have the world before you. Don’t be impatient. Plan not for tomorrow, but for years ahead. Real success takes place inside your mind. The more obstacles you meet, the harder you think of it. Use all your skill and enthusiasm to accomplish what you have to do. Do it well, do it efficiently. The world is yearning for one who can do business without making excuses. You can be that one. Have faith. Believe in yourself and in the world. And if you do, everyone, including the stars, will fight for you. Rita GUILMETTE Class Poem We pause a moment looking out on life’s Turbulent sea where but a moment hence We'll be immersed, caught in the whirling ebb That is mankind, and though we shall dispense With carefree ways, the mien that scholars wear, And don the thorny crown of worldly care. We'll not forget the musings born of youth, Youth drinking at the fount whence learning Springs In endless volume, scattering its lore To thirsting lips, while heavenward it wings Sweet song of wisdom, wild, entrancing strain Meeting midair with liberty’s refrain. For what is freedom if not knowledge bred Through joyous weddings of the heart and mind? Yes, we must forward to a stranger world Leaving this strong secureness far behind For others who are yet unsure, untaught, Blind to the light that we have lately caught. te Neglected lie the thumb-worn volumes that Through lengthy hours led our pond’rous way To ultimate success gained at the height Of learning’s hill; as we look back today We wonder that no falt’ring of young feet Plunged us into the depths of dark Defeat. We cast fond glances back to days we knew As though ’tweren’t yesterday that side by side We pondered through a problem, shared a smile When it was solved, already we have sighed As over ashes of a youthful flame Lying in heaps about a cherished name. We say farewell, yet ne’er goodbye was said To aught beloved, for ever after cached In mem’ry’s shrine it dares one to forget That once in days gone by a sweet dawn waked A rose upon the stem that hours before A bashful little rosebud gently bore. Yes, it is time for us to press the hand Of each who guided us as we rehearsed Life’s timeless script, oh, unforgettable The lines they gave to us, now fully versed, Devoid of fear, we greet with eager face The tide that sweeps us from Burdett’s embrace.

Our entrance was like the fall—everything We were young The spirit that goes with college life was missing. was so new and so different. and self-conscious, in a word, freshmen. We were unfamiliar—strangers among new friends. As the weeks passed, we overcame that chill of newness, that feeling of being out of place. Gradually, new acquaintances were formed, lasting friends acquired, and an air of peace and calm overtook our first fears. Now that graduation time has come, we cannot help but remember fondly our happy months here. Let us pause for a moment and think back. Remember: The dances put on by the sororities of Theta Alpha Chi and Phi Epsilon Sigma, the Medical Secretarial Students, and the Men’s Club, which were such huge successes, with the ever-burning thought in each girl’s mind, “Bring your own men, or come pre- pared for anything!”’ And, we hasten to add, de 28 there were no complaints afterwards, but strictly heavenly bliss for the most part. The Jeep that brightened many a hard- working, defense-stamp-seller’s heart when it bounced through Park Square with at least ten girls all aboard, grasping some part of its mechanism and holding on for dear life. We were favored each month with color- ful movies in the Club Room, at which time a report of the sale of defense stamps and bonds was given. What an aching heart and head those unbalanced balance sheets gave us along with those unfailing (and we do mean “failing’’) mastery and performance tests. That first report card which, we are sure none can forget, was sent home via mail. The Executive Secretarial class meetings, with the officers in charge presenting each month some form of enjoyable entertain- ment, and on one occasion in particular a very humorous Truth or Consequence show. The Blue Door—the eternal stopover be- fore classes, after classes, and lastly, during classes, much to the sorrow of Mr. Wells. However, a remedy was soon found for the latter, to the sorrow of the students. Each one of us will miss that coke or milk shake which many times lasted hours. rs FAistory of the Accountants of Burdett On September 8th, 1944, the portals of Burdett swung open to admit the hordes of incoming victims. How young, sweet—and ignorant we must have appeared with those vague, confused looks on our countenances. We stood about awkwardly, each feeling like the proverbial bump on the log, casting uneasy glances at our prospective comrades-in-arms. There was no one to whom to confide our thoughts; we were alone—each one of us alone in a crowd, lost in a sea of strange faces. Each one of us slunk to the nearest seat and flopped down, minus the grace that a young lady or gentleman should have acquired before ven- turing into a sophisticated college world. Arrayed in our bestest back-to-school apparel we thought we looked pretty nice—as the strangeness wore off and students were still pouring in, the femmes began to take in the surroundings, to be blunt—the men. As yet the male ranks hadn’t swelled to thei r present size but, those of us who were born under a lucky star, were blessed by Fate with a home-room in which actual men were as- signed. Within a day or two the cornerstone of many a lifelong friendship was cemented. The marking on the stone read ‘September, 1944”—a never-to-be-forgotten date. Chief among these friends was the faculty—ever helpful. Mr. Pulsifer, to use a nautical expres- sion, taught us “the ropes”, and before long well-supplied with ammunition (books, paper, pens, etc. etc.) we charged into battle. Our first taste of conflict was in Mr. Bridg- ham’s class where Einstein’s seventh dimension is considered mere child’s play. Figures, figures, and more figures; added, subtracted, divided and whistled at. (What am I saying?) And pen- manship—round and round, don’t move that thumb — another blot? — We invariably stumbled out of class cursing Mr. Faretra roundly under our collective breaths, gazing dejectedly at our poor ink-stained digits, and not much caring whether we ever graduated from our pathetic hen-scratchings to the status of a good penman. Then to Mr. Zoerner’s— were we glad that we had chosen an accounting course! That first day all we learned about accounting was that we were going to enjoy it immensely, that we were in love with the subject, mad about the liabilities and capital that our instructor expounded so earnestly. We threw ourselves wholeheartedly into this study. Then to the lunchroom—we weren’t very hungry but we skipped gayly down the four flights of stairs to the Club Room where we laid a few more of those aforementioned corner- stones; a couple of daring souls ventured to the upright and toyed around with the ivory keys; in a few moments a regular jam session was going full swing. Multi-colored bobby sox flew about to the rhythm of the conga, etc. After letting our hair down thusly, we decided that we were going to like this school and its inmates. Yielding to a sense of innate luxury we decided to celebrate this, our first day, by returning from lunch via the elevator. From our home-rooms we slid down the bannister to Mrs. Meany’s law class—torts, misdemeanors, -chey fell on uncomprehending ears. Over- heard during a lull in our first lecture—‘‘The only bar I’ll ever pass—’—the rest faded into an obscure whisper. However, a good imagina- tion lends the finishing touches to the remark. The rest of the week was one mad whirl, jour- nals, typewriters (all makes), statutes of law, rules for letter-writing, all were flung simultaneously at our young brains. The effect was amazing—for out of the chaos we emerged seasoned college students, far removed from the adolescents who graced high-school classrooms but a few short months before. We elected class officers, established a school magazine, riding, bowling and skating clubs, a new sorority, a men’s club, and for the first time in years undertook to put out a year- book. We've learned a lot, we grads of 1945, we've sweated a lot, worked a lot and worried a lot— but it was worth it. As we join the ranks of Burdett alumni, it is with a feeling of regret, yes, but with a certain pride in the things that we have accomplished and a hope that what we have begun will be loved, continued and improved upon by the confused, gauche- appearing boys and girls who, attired in their bestest, will enter the portals of Burdett when they are flung open in the falls to come. te The Class of 1945 in Songs DAY SCHOOL I Should Care Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair .

Under the guiding and instigating hand of Mrs. Kirwin, it has grown into a large and vital part of the National Sorority of Accredited Schools. From a small, select group in 1940 it has become a prominent and exclusive part of Burdett activities. Its aims and purposes have been serious as well as gay. In September 1944, the officers for the current year were installed as follows: Regent, Helen Mackie; Vice-Regent, Rita Guilmette; Marshal, Edith Eklund; Scribe, Rachel Gordon; Bursar, Helen Barbadoro; Direc- 38 te tor of Initiation, Marcia Wilkie. Under the able leadership of these officers and the excellent co-operation of the sisters, our sorority has fulfilled all the aims and purposes as they are written in our ritual. Weare very fortunate in having the Grand President of the National Sorority present in our own school—Mr. Rasely. He has always been helpful and willing to give advice and suggestions for the advancement of our sorority. During the past year, the activities of the sorority have included, a Coke Party, a Puppet Show, a Theater Party at the Colonial Theater, a Week-end Skiing Trip, Mothers’ and Fathers’ Night, a variety of amateur plays in which the members participated, and as a climax to a successful year, an Annual Banquet which is attended by the active members and the alumni. As we close our log of sorority events, may we express the ideals of Theta Alpha Chi in the words of our closing prayer: Our God, protect, enlighten, and guide us, our parents, our associates, our school, and bind us ever closer together in lasting bonds of sisterhood. So—shall—it—ever—be. Pha Epsilon § OD te Rap, rap echoes the gavel the first Tuesday of every month when Phi Epsilon Sigma sorority holds its regular meetings in the Club Room. Phi Epsilon Sigma are the initials of three Greek words which mean Friendliness, Sincerity, and Enthusiasm. The object of the sorority as outlined in the ritual is to promote Friendliness among its members, Sincerity in their relations and motives, and Enthusiasm in their business and social activities. The officers for the first year of this newly organized sorority are President, Phyllis MacCloud; Secretary, Charlotte Romsey; Treasurer, Gloria Downing. The organization of this sorority has been a job well done by these girls with the indispensable guidance of Mrs. Loring. During its first year of activity, this sorority formed clubs for different sports. Since last fall three afternoons have been enjoyed each week by the “Spurettes’”, members of the popular riding club, the “Spurs”. Each Thursday evening, the Bowling Club meets to compete enthusiastically for the honor of high scorer. The excited cry, “I got a strike”, resounds through the alleys occasionally, but once in a great (?) while there is a dejected sigh, “Down the gutter”. During the winter months members of the Skating Club could be seen “gracefully” gliding round the Arena, some members twirling ’round the rink and displaying their talents in figure-skating. To fill out this busy first year, Phi Epsilon Sigma sponsored a most successful dance, and the funds from this were used to donate many worth-while gifts to the Red Cross for the enjoyment of wounded service- men and their wives. “SS purs” The “Spurs” were originally formed as a part of Phi Epsilon Sigma. Later on, it was decided to open membership to everyone in the school. After this was done, the following officers were elected: President, FrRaNcis BorowKko Vice-President, ANNE GEORGENES Secretary, CONSTANCE Howarp Treasurer, VIRGINIA CAPORALE This riding club was formed last fall and is composed of thirty mem- bers from all the different courses. The girls ride at a nearby stable in three groups of ten each, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The “Spurs” enjoy other activities. Last winter, they attended a broadcast at the New England Mutual which was put on by the Coast Guard. After the girls have had five lessons under supervision, many of them ride frequently on week-ends. The “Spurs” look very smart in their jodhpurs and boots. They have meetings every other Wednesday in the Club Room. Commercial Club co The first meeting of the Commercial Club was held October 5, 1944 in the Club Room. The officers were elected for the first half of the year as follows: President, George Spencer; Vice-President, Marjorie Cutler; Secretary, Charles Stevens; Treasurer, William Sullivan. At the half-year term, new officers were elected as follows: Presi- dent, Victor Bonin; Vice-President, Dolores Blevins; Secretary, Anne Chin; Treasurer, Alfred Chouinard. At each meeting, the committee, appointed by the President, pre- sented unique forms of entertainment enjoyed by all the members. At the conclusion of these meetings, refreshments were served. A weenie roast was planned for May 24th. It was held on the Charles River Beach. Members of the Commercial Club appointed reporters — Leland Cussack and Marjorie Cutler — to represent them on the staff of “The Acountant”. Their newsy items concerning the activities of the club have been read with interest by the entire school. Burdett Men’s Club a Back from Europe and the Pacific with battle fatigue or whittled down by malaria, our G.I.’s are coming back home and into our schools and colleges. Such is the case at Burdett. The need for a plan to help the boys feel easy in their new environment was realized. This brought about the birth of the Burdett Men’s Club in January. The organization wel- comes all male students into the club. In this way, the problems of getting acquainted and recreation, were solved. Although the club has not been in existence long, it has sponsored the school paper ““The Accountant” and has held various social activities. Among one of the speakers who addressed the club was Mr. Healey, Employment Manager of the Boston Consolidated Gas Company, whose subject was “Business Management’. The officers are: President, Frank Spano; Secretary, Walter Oat; Treasurer, Manuel Freitas; and Faculty Advisor, Mr. Kingsmill. 43 be Will of the Class of 1945 ihe We, the class of 1945 of Burdett College, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament and do bequeath the following to these our beneficiaries.

To all the members of the faculty, we solicitously leave a large bottle of aspirins for the countless headaches we have no doubt caused them. To the future members of the sorority, we leave those horrifying initiations. To the “Spurs”, who have twisted and strained muscles, we leave a case of liniment and a pillow.
