The late Rev. Thomas P. McLoughlin was its first mod- erator. Miss Anna McLaughlin, now Sister Cephas, held the Presidency. Two days of each scholastic year are set apart as Sodality Days. The first is December 8th, on which day, after a Solemn High Mass in the college chapel, the new r aspirants are received into the Sodality. In the evening the Sodality Ball is held in Maura Hall. The second day comes early in Commencement Week and on that day comes the reward, in the form of a gold cross, to those Seniors who have faithfully attended Mass on the required number of w r eek days during four years and who have lived up to the rest of the Sodality rules. This custom originated in 1908 wdien Miss Dorothy Brosmith, ’ll (now r Mrs. William McEvoy), was President. The Sodality is the most flourishing organization in college and is the means of inculcating in the students those virtuous daily habits wdiich in after life mark our graduates as true Catholic w r omen and as w T orthy representatives of N.

The object of the Board is “to represent the students in the government of the College and to further in every way the interests of the students.” The Mistress of Discipline and her assistant, two Seniors, two Juniors, one Sophomore and one Freshman composed the first Board. In 1911 the Board was enlarged to include the Mistress of Studies and the Day Scholar Representative. Today the Board includes all the original number and has added the President and Vice-President of the Fresh- man Class, two extra Senior Members and two Sophomore Members. 19 Alpha Alpha AM M ALES IS Alpha Alpha pnlmuiphiral S’uru ' lii Marie Kieran Marguerite Doyle M. Eunice Timmons Gertrude McGovern Mary Kernan President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Mistress of Ceremonies Alpha Alpha was organized in 1907 by Father Halpin who continues to be its moving spirit. The object of the Society is “to foster interest in Mental Philosophy whether encountered in classroom, work, history or current discussion.” Member- ship is open only to upper classmen. The Society meets bi-monthly on Monday evenings in the large reception room of the “Castle” and listens to re- sumes of the past two weeks’ work in Logic and Philosophy, read by Junior and Senior members. Vital topics are then considered and open discussion is allowed. The meetings, always interesting, have become especially popular this year be- cause of the energy and the enterprising spirit of the President, Miss Kieran. The feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, on March 7th, is set aside as “Alpha Alpha Day” and, in honor of the Society’s patron saint, a holiday is granted to Juniors and Seniors. 2 21 Props and Paint (Dflftrrra Dorothy D.

Loyola President Secretary Treasurer Mistress of Properties Mistress of Wardrobe Press Agent M u sical D i rector Coach Moderator The Dramatic Society of the College of New Rochelle was organized in 1906 under Miss Mary Conklin, ' 09. The year of its organization the Society produced two plays, “The Princess,” and “As You Like It.” For the following three years the Society contented itself with displaying its talent merely on campus, but in 1909 the mid-year play was held in New York City in the Waldorf-Astoria, and from that year dates the custom of producing the mid-year play in the city and the June or Senior play on campus. In the spring of 1909 the campus play was Racine’s “Iphigenia”; in mid-winter, 1910, “Twelfth Night” was given at the Waldorf-Astoria. 23 03 ANNALgS ' ' 13 Nineteen hundred eleven marked an epoch in the dramatic history of the college for, in that year, Mrs. Estelle H. Davis became Instructor of Oral English and Dra- matic Coach, and at the present time, Mrs. Davis is (deo gratias) still with us. The mid-winter play, given that year in the Carnegie Lyceum, was “Much Ado About Nothing,” and the June play was Rostand’s “Fantastics.” In 1912 the custom of having the Junior and the Sophomore members of “Props and Paint appear in separate productions was established and is still observed. The Taming of the Shrew was portrayed in the Carnegie Lyceum in February of that year, and the “King Rene ' s Daughter” of Henrik Herz was enacted on campus in May. I he following year saw Moliere’s “Learned Ladies” at mid-year in the Plaza, and the Electra of Sophocles on May 28th. In 1914 Schiller’s “Mary Stuart” was given in mid-winter. Three years ago — 1915 — “The Rivals”, Sheridan, given first in New ork, was repeated on April 23d at Germania Hall, New Rochelle, for the benefit of the Catholic Protective Society of the Archdiocese of New York. In 1914 and in 1915 the campus play was given in the evening. The eastern side ol the campus was strung with small electric lights from tree to tree, and over the natural stage formed by a broad bank with a background of lilac bushes, great arc lights were hung. Here “As You Like It” was produced in 1914, and “Love’s Labour’s Lost” in 1915. At the Plaza, on Feb. 12, 1916, “Props and Paint” presented “The Tempest,” and for their campus play, the Seniors gave Rostand’s “Romancers.” Last year three short plays were given at the Plaza, and an Irish play “The Twig of Thorn” was the June production. So that up to this year “Props and Paint” has faithfully persevered in the tra- ditions established in its pioneer days; but since the coming of war into this peace- ful world, and since these are the days of “doing one’s bit,” the Dramatic Society this year forsook its habits of peaceful times and did its bit. On February 8, 1918, three sketches, coached as usual by Mrs. Davis, were presented in New Rochelle in the Knights of Columbus Hall for the benefit of the Knights of Columbus War Fund. The performance was especially successful and a large sum of money was realized. After the plays, the usual dance took place. This is the history of “Props and Paint,” up to date and, with such a past, one cannot but be assured of the future fame and success of anything “Props and Paint” may undertake. 24 Dramatics Annales Staff “03 l M MAI 13 Amtalni Ebitur-tu-QUjirf Elisabeth U.

The financial ability which characterizes the Mrs. William J. Birmingham of today was just coming to the fore in the Miss M. Hennesy those days, and so with her as its first President the Association kept its word and has never since disbanded for unpaid debts. In 1911 the custom of awarding College letters and Class numerals was established and still exists. In 1916, through the enterprise of Miss Adele Brady, T6, the Association was given permission to have its Varsity Basketball Team play games with outside teams and, of the six games it played, it was defeated only once— by Adelphi. The second Adelphi — N . R. game was a tie. The arsity defeated St. Elizabeth’s College Varsity in two games, and a South Norwalk team under Miss Anne McMahon, 15, in two games. Whither the permission to play these outside games has flown, who can say Only we know that for the past two years the games at N. R. C. have been all inter-class games (and that is another rea- son we miss 1916). The Athletic Association holds two Athletic Meets a year— a mid-year meet in the Gymnasium in which the Sophomores and the Freshmen contend for supremacy at basketball, and a spring outdoor meet in which the athletically inclined students of all classes take part in the athletic games, and in which prizes are awarded for skill. But here ' s a hope that the near future will produce another Adele, for the Association needs even more “pep” than has characterized its activities for the past two years.

Miss Elisabeth Brady, ' 18, was President of the Class and Miss Mane Kieran, 18, the ec retary. In the fall of 1917 an independent auxiliary was formed in the College. A large room in the Gymnasium Building has been fitted up for the Red Cross, and here the work of making surgical dressing is carried o every morning and every afternoon, not only by the College students but by the New R()C of the Catholic Woman’s League. There are over one hundred student members in this auxiliary and t t interest the girls take in the work, while having its foundation in patriotism is due to a great extent to the un flaggingenergy of Mother M. Loyola, Moderator of the Unit. Miss Helen Cogan, 19, is President and Miss Gertrude Fleming, T8, is Vice-President. At Christmas time one hundred comfort kits were fitted up by the students and were sent to the sol- diers in camp. . The proceeds from the mid-year play were turned over by “Props and Paint’ to the Knights of Co- lumbus War Fund. A course in Dietetics was opened at the beginning of the Second Semester, and this course is mented by lectures given by Mother M. Xavier, Professor of Sociology. upple- Lt:u ictiuivo . . , It is needless to add that hundreds of knitted articles have been supplied during the year by the indus- trious knitters-who comprise almost the entire college. So that N. R. C . is trying to do its share the work that must be done at home, and neither will it cease its efforts till there is no more need for the things of war and till our thoughts and energies can turn freely to pleasanter things. 4 2 Red Cross Unit Here’s to the Campus Cross Here’s to the Castle Tower ' 00 AM MALES 131 80 luuttu ' r muj There is a college we would toast — Not so very far away — Of our loyalty to it we could boast, For it grows stronger, day by day.

Hail to New Rochelle! 47 Class of 1921 Court of Queen Futurista, last of a long line of rulers over Nemohomia, a territory prohibited to all men. Time is about 2100 A. D. Futurista (to hand-maiden, Modernista): Alas! I am weary of this world, () faithful Modernista! Welcome will be the day when these sad flesh shall have shrunk beneath the lash of adversity for the last time. In spite of titanic struggles, my poor land seems unimproved. Aye, ’twould seem an abject failure. Modernista: Fair Queen, it doth not appear fitting to me that thou should be judged a failure! Hast thou not continued to keep thy kingdom free from that infamous creature, Man, in accordance with thy ancestor’s custom? Futurista: Yes, I have at least done that much for the betterment of my sister Yet, Modernista, I should like to know what women accomplished in the many years that have fled, what they did, what they thought — (A great clamor is heard without. Two attendants of the Queen drag in a man, captive, and in chains.) Attendant: In accordance with thy most sacred orders, 0 Queen of lofty majesty, we have captured this creature who calls himself man and brought him hither to judgment. Futurista: He seemeth right gentle to me, not as I have pictured him. Are you sure ’tis a man? Modernista: Alack! good Queen, did woman ever wear such idiotic raiment? Yea, his clothing does bespeak him as the feathers bespeak the bird. A man he is, indeed. Futurista (musingly) : And yet — somehow — I am loath to have him killed without offering at least one chance to save his miserable body. Speak, wretch, couldst thou sing a song of such merit that we might be thrilled thereby and be forced to surrender? 5i I “OS AM MALES IS Man: Majestic One, were I to sing and likewise to compose my song, and thou wert to make the punishment fit the crime, human ingenuity and power of contrivance wouldst of necessity fail in wroughting a punishment worthy. But I could tell thee a tale of lives that would make thy own achievements pale and insignificant. ’Tis a tale of maidens who dwelt almost two hundred years ago in a very distant village. Futurista: Thou art haughty indeed, for a captive! But, speak, my curiosity leads me to leniency. Man: Full two hundred years ago in the town of New Rochelle there flourished a splendid institution for the furthering of knowledge. Here, yearly, many maidens came in the pursuit of learning. In the year 1917, they say, there came a group that proved at least worthy of a slight history. O Queen, even thy majesty would have lost some of its weight in the presence of those maids in cap and gown. Never has thy mediocre court known a scene of such solemn dignity and grandeur as Founder’s Day within those walls of grey ! If thou could even imagine such happy, festive times as those Junior and Sopho- more times, I think more love would be thine from these sad-eyed subjects. Couldst thy jesters and court wits make such jibes as were heard on that thirtieth of October, thou wouldst not be this yawning victim of ennui. And couldst thou have maids tall and stately, bright and witty, sweet and jolly, demure but effi- cient withal, perhaps this government of thine would not be weak and tottering. For thou hast made a mistake. Thou hast concentrated? Certainly. But on the wrong idea. Man was not made for extermination, nor woman’s mind for dull inertia. Education is what you need, you and all of your subjects. Thou hast dwelt on one idea to the exclusion of others. Futurista: Enough! thou hast spoken truth and a Queen can learn a lesson. I shall remember your story, sir. You are free to go as you wish. But tell me first, if you please, some plan by which I can make my maids like those of nineteen twenty-one. 52 Class of 1920 In September, 1916, (it now seems so long’ ago that the minute details are lost in the dim dawn of antiquity) 1920 made its advent. Some of the girls were a little previous and arrived a week before College opened — others were more leisurely disposed and appeared on the scene just before the Christmas holidays. The majority, however, timid, a trifle homesick and very expectant, came on the day the schedule stated. But that was only the first year. When 1920 returned from its first summer vacation, the scene was quite di f- ferent. This time the September entry was a home-coming. Cries of joy and wild embraces denoted that an “American College Woman” had met a fellow companion. Bedlam reigned as they discussed the happenings of the summer. While some talked, their friends sat gripping the sides of the chair waiting for an opportunity to burst into speech. Others talked on in unison without paying the slightest attention to what the other was saying. Such is the first night after vacation. The Freshmen were carefully observed and commented on. Some with a crit- ical eye for beauty, others athletically inclined and therefore with a thirst for gore, surveyed them as foes about to be girded for the terrific combat of the spring. After a mental strain of preparing programmes and arranging courses had passed, the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a party. Many a Sophomore racked her brains for a topic of conversation as she steered and piloted a verdant Freshman through the dances. “Do you like college?” — eager Soph. “Yes.” — winsome young thing. “Are you having a good time?” “Yes.” “Isn ' t the war fearful?” “Yes.” Long pause after this heavy success, then — “It is a little lonesome when you are first away from home, isn’t it?” “Umm.” At this point most people with inventive powers short of Edison’s give up in despair. In spite of these drawbacks the evening was very enjoyable. 55 “03 A N NALES T5 Just before Thanksgiving the gay young Sophomores became just a little too gay and decided to “wake the Freshmen up”, literally and figuratively. One frosty morning a shivering band of desperadoes in kimonos crept stealthily up the tower stairs on mischief bent. Von Hindenburg never planned an attack more skillfully. They divided their forces — four to a room and two to a cot. At a given signal they entered the rooms, hurled the Freshmen amazed, shivering into the center of the room and vanished into the night. The Freshmen returned the compliment a few nights later and so noisily that the two classes were campused and the Sophomores were suspended as a result. Their weapon was a fiendish concoction of flour and water. If you are ever aroused in the cold grey of a winter morning by something cold striking your head and rolling down your neck, and spend the next few hours picking paste out of your hair— well, you will understand our position. The Sophomore Play was a great success. It consisted of several little playlets which were stories of Colonial times. In fact, everything that 1920 has undertaken has been a success— mid-ye ars, the eagerly awaited meet— the whole of our Sophomore year. And we would end the year that sees our sister class depart, with the hope that the two college years still to come for 1920 will be as happy as the two college years that have gone. 56 4 Class of 1919 Jlmttnr Htnloijy Nntps (Apologies to Professor McAuliffe) Chapter 3 We now turn to the study of that far famed class, numerically known as 1919. Because it refuses to be Overlooked, and can not be Forgotten, it has been chosen as a peculiarly favorable specimen for scientific observation. In Professorial Circles, 19 has been compared to our respected Egyptian friend— the sphinx. This “Exam- comparison is justified. . , . . . „ 1. Because of that tantalizing look of untold wisdom with which 19 greets all questions- kind and otherwise. 2 Because of the inscrutable grin with which it answers— Nothing! Also, among the Bourgeoise, ' 19 has been likened unto a Feather-bed! Because when it is stepped on in one place it pops up in another. General Structure: , 1919 is a body composed of separate independent Somites. These vary in number during the four stages of metamorphosis. In the present— or Junior— stage, the Somites number fifty-one. They are exceptionally good Somites, in that they possess the three requisites for a Perfect and Harmonious hole, i. e.. Unity, Adherence and Pep. Digestive System: Divided into: A. Physical digestion — Operates chiefly after 10 P. M. . , . ... . , First aid occasionally received in form of strawberry short-cakes (which 20 intended tor strictly Home Consumption!). B. Mental digestion — , , , . . , Chief nourishment is leaves— book-leaves. This staple food is partaken of twice a year reg- ul ar l V in February and June. At other times, ' 19 in self-mortification (?) practices an almost total abstinence. (This custom is not universally approved. Some have even been unkind enough to hint that it makes for “Mediocrity. ’ However— this is not Germane.) System of Circulation: , . . , „ . . It has often been declared that 1919 has the best and most efficient methods of Circulation ever intro- duced intouany N. It. class room. Like the Worm, 19 has two distinct systems. 1. Open system— is easily detected by the naked eye. Works to best advantage in large spaces— such as the Gymnasium, or the History Room . 2. Closed system— practically invaluable as a means of communication between different Somites. By means of this Closed Circulation, notes and other articles are passed along by wave-hke move- ments until they reach their destination. This system is complicated and its course is very difficult DuHng this third stage of its existence, a curious phenomenon occurred. Shortly before Easter, after an anxious period of waiting and uncertainty, each Somite developed n Ring— green gold in color, and having on its lateral sides the impression of a Sphinx. Mum s the M ord . ! General History: , , _ , . . , , , . On September 24, having duly arrived in New Rochelle, 1919 s first act was to inspect herself, and lo! she had acquired four new members! In great glee, 19 then proceeded to investigate her surroundings and the first thing her eye lit upon was something large, unwieldy and — Bashful! 1919 looked long and looked hard, and concluded she was gazing at her younger sister— 1921! Her conclusion proving correct, Embarrassing Conditions often arise as a result of this silence. 59 ' OS AMMAi she straightway invited the Freshmen to a Lollypop Party (you see, 1!) did not know yet about The Blue Blood!). By the time the last lollypop and ice cream-cone had disappeared, 21 was no longer homesick, and she retired for the night, in love with College in general, and the Juniors in Particular Busy weeks passed — for 19 is studying nowadays. And then came Investiture when the Juniors invested the Freshmen in cap and gown, as they sang “Freshmen, dear Freshmen, look hack upon tonight, When to cap and gown, we bestowed on you the right Then, mid the flickering lights of the Junior torches, T9 and ' 21 pledged loyalty to each other and to New Rochelle, and ' 21 was formally received by Alma Mater. . . . , . Soon after this 1919 gave a practical proof of both College Spirit and patriotism by purchasing two Liberty Bonds, one of which she presented to the College. And as the ultimate proof of her patriotism, T9 sacrificed the biggest and most anticipated event in her college career— the Junior 1 rom. However, all social activities were not neglected, as our pleasant memories of the Junior- treshman Reception and the Freshman- Junior Dance will testify. _ . , e 1919 now turned her attention to Dramatics, and shortly before Easter the Junior members of Props and Paint presented “Good Friday. In this play, the high standard of Dramatic exeellenee whieh 19 set for itself in Sophomore year with the production of “The l pper Room was fully equalled if not sur- passed. pj ytd basketball— with the result that it still holds the title inherited from 1 ' ' They av tiiat ' ‘e Trvthiiig comes to him who waits, and so, eventually, Jimior Week finally arrived ' i .1 i • i. !• i-i. . ovi cfonpp I lip ( ass rlav was ffiven “Review of Reviews” was as usual a howling success. .

The purpose of this camp, which is known as the College of New Rochelle, is to train the young women for the Battle of Life; and so, in order that they may be able to wage it successfully, a continuous campaign against Ignorance is carried on during this pre- paratory training course at N. R. C. Ignorance, with its allies, Indifference, Super- ficiality, Folly and Procrastination (the which allies are incarnate in the various dum- mies scattered through the sections of the camp) conducts such a skillfully camou- flaged campaign that it is hard at first for the young candidates to distinguish the sham from the real; but when the training course is concluded, the successful can- didates cannot be deceived, as has been proven by the experience of those who have gone forth from this camp. The camp is divided into four regiments known as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juni- ors and Seniors. Commissions are granted once a year, only Seniors being eligible. Having obtained their commissions the Seniors immediately go into active service, and only return to the camp to deliver private lectures on their trials and tribulations on the battlefield. Many of those commissioned take up the work of instructors in other camps, while the Quartermasters’ Department of the world has become very popular during the last few years. Upon the departure of the Seniors, the members of the Junior Regiment are advanced to the rank of Seniors, the Sophomore members become Juniors, the Freshmen become Sophomores, while new bands of candidates fill in the Freshmen ranks. Each regiment, which is divided into smaller units known at N. R. C. as “cliques” and which is subordinate to the officers of the institution, practices self-government and elects officers from the ranks. Each regiment has its special field on which to meet and combat Ignorance. We who record on the following pages the history of our campaign against Igno- rance, are known in the camp as Unit 1918, and the authentic account of our maneu- vers follows. 63 S 1 PT Band fif ty 9 fi ve candidates, partly draft and partly volunteer, registered at N.

The canteen was christened “Sodality Bazaar.” 18 bought a great many useless articles. December 1(5 . . , . .

Straight and Narrow and by a concentrated attack on College Conventions succeeded in establishing a state of Revolution, ' l ' he Unit announced that it would celebrate a Sophomore Week, and it proceeded to throw all its resources into the breach. Having mobilized its forces it entrained in jitneys for the near-by city and there fell upon the Boston Spa. When an excellent mess (in more ways than one) had been obtained here by right of “quarter”, the Unit raided Loew ' s and established itself in the first row trenches with the loss of only ten cents. When it again regained its old positions in N. R. Camp, it held a magnifi- cent Prom in the Living Room, and after that it entertained all the Regiments with a heart-rending dramatic masterpiece, entitled “Newsy la Day,” which was a tragedy based on the harrowing adven- tures of a washcloth. These are all the details of Sophomore Week that can be confided to the public 66 08 AM M ALH5 ' 18 March 12 — Continued press. Suffice it to say that there were many in danger of court-martial because of it, and the threat of placing the entire regiment in the guard house, or “campusing” it as they say here, was frequent. However, ’18’s long experience has made it immune to such gas attack.s Much credit was given to Miss Riordan for the strategic ability she revealed as Moderator of the week. March 25 The basketball team of the Unit was again overcome by its opponents on this day. March 29 T8 celebrated the birthday of its commanding officer, Margaret Keane, by giving her a party. April 4 The Sophomore Speaking Contest which took place on this night was won by Kathryn Cocks. . May 1 We scored another dramatic triumph tonight with our second original Class Play. May 17 Units 1916 and 1918 entrained in taxis for Pepperday Inn where a farewell dinner was served to the Units in honor of the departure of T6 for the front. June 1 e went bravely over the top in the spring offensive against our old enemy, Ignorance. We stormed the enemy ' s defenses and completely routed him. We had now cleared the Sophomore field of any vestige of Ignorance and so were ready for a new cam- paign in other sections of the battlefield. Passes were issued to every member of the camp and a three months’ furlough was granted. Our closest allies, the members of ’16, were granted commissions on a memorable day that reminded the camp most forcibly that “with every sweet there is some bitter.” A new camp song, composed as folk songs are, attained immense popularity during these days, “ ' 16, don ' t go ’way.” 6 7 In Sophomore Days September 26, 1916 Summer furlough ended. One new candidate joined the Junior ranks — Rosalie Conlan from Barnard, Columbia, etc. This year we are non-commissioned officers — Corporals. Spent the first afternoon helping the new candidates for the Freshman Regiment to locate their bar- racks. Many of them were placed in Dugouts within walking distance of the mess hall — Dugouts Nos. 9, 23, 38, etc. September 28 Our initial attempt at inoculating the Freshmen with the Rose Serum that the Junior Regiment always administers to the Freshmen Regiment, took place in the Living Room. Unit 1920 quickly responded to treatment. October 1 This Junior campaign had an entirely different aspect than the previous two campaigns. We were on unfamiliar ground. Our popular English Captain, Miss Randall-Bent, had transferred her educa- tional operations to California and we missed her and her interesting classes. The new English Cap- tain, Miss Larmour, was a specialist along different lines, and adopted wholly different tactics. Her training is based to a great extent on Chaucer. We began to realize that it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Also the officers who are in charge of this institution had entered into hostilities with the enemy, Igno- rance, on entirely new territory, and a certain number of candidates from 18 had volunteered their services as scouts into this new land to see if it might be suitable for future conquest. The scouts advanced under the banner of the B. S. October 19 “Twenty, our lights are gleaming. Brightly for you — ” The Unit No. 1920 was officially invested in the college camp uniform — cap and gown. Memories of long, uniformed lines of Juniors, of the Living Room in shadow, and of our gleaming electric candles. “Turn back our tassels. Let s be Freshmen once again. Bring back those jolly days That knew no care nor pain. There ' s not a Junior heart But cries, ‘Ah, we would fain Turn back our tassels And be Freshmen once again’.” November 1 Three of the scouts returned from the business field and reported insurmountable obstacles. They brought fearful tales of a land filled with a million misleading signs, which, to be interpreted rightly, must be committed to memory; the immediate foreground is a mass of short things called “ticks” on which one is constantly getting stuck; as one progresses through this land it is necessary to make use of queer shapen hooks, which are not only useless if turned the wrong way, but which bring dire mis- fortune upon the unfortunate manipulator. There are also strange machines necessary to the work, and in the manipulation of which one has to acquire almost incredible speed. The tactics employed throughout the whole course were so entirely different that these three scouts retreated precipitously to re-enlist under the A. B. standard. December 20 Unit 1918 established a precedent in the college camp. At a Court of Adoption, the L T nit 1920 was for- mally received as a child of Alma Mater. 69 Certificate of Adoption “Be it remembered that on the 20th day of TsaM Zrn Uer that the said Agnes Clarey should have .tt the ngh of dul d tmdhe appears , of the College of New Rochelle, and be s s ] ] lave ] lcrelin to set our hand and affixed the seyoTsahkourtat t heCollege of N w Rochelle on the 15th day of December, 1916.’’ November T “ ' “ “ gsss S .SS2SB� S£f February 7, 1917 .... w k d turne( i their attention to Social Conquest.

(Reference, 1920) The favorable impression would deepen as you grow to know Kathryn for — she will never attempt to replace your opinions with hers, she is the essence of good nature, and the soul of kind-heartedness, (even in her most frivolous moments she never forgets “Little Orphant Annie”), she does many things well,. especially those that are easiest, those that will cause no loss of sleep, or those that can be done “some other day.” And at the end of Senior Year you will discover that you still like Kathryn, partly because of the qualities she has revealed, principally because she is “Cocksie.” “A girl with eager eyes and yellow hair — ” A few short months of acquaintance has proved to us that Grace — is one of the “sweetest” girls imaginable (in fact, we feel we could not stand it if she were a little more so) — that she has an optimistic easy-going tendency that no tempest can quell — that she has a habit of making herself understand the other fellow’s point of view, and a will that makes her have everything done just when it should be done — that she possesses a whole-hearted enthusiasm that has adopted our college as her own without any annoying references to past experiences — that she has a wealth of charity and never fails to put the best interpretation on everything; and an amount of such unusual goodness which shines forth like a beacon light in this wicked world — And so, at the end of our few months’ acquaintance with Grace we assure her, that despite her knitting activities, she certainly has done her bit to make Senior year one of the most agreeable years we have spent at N.

She possesses a bottomless fund of sympathy, sincerity and charity, and so is an excellent example of one’s ideal of a friend. She is the personification of class spirit — i.e. she is as willing to share inconveniences as she is rewards. She performs all her tasks quietly, steadily, earnestly, with no wild appeals for aid or sympathy. And she is the kind of a girl who goes to make up the strength of a class, the quiet, reliable kind who is always willing to side in with the others, and yet whose innate common sense refuses to rebel against the powers that be. 93 03 AN MAL MARY K.

Y. Assistant Art Editor Annales Class Secretary (4) “ Let gentleness my strong enforcement be” The name “Mary Warner” is a synonym in the college vocabulary for gentleness. Her very appearance is gentle — her fair hair and white skin — her great gray eyes and her sweet expression. The name “Mary Warner” is a synonym in 1918’s vocabulary for more than gen- tleness. It means 90% in examinations. It means reliability. It means the intensely serious manner that is all Mary’s own. And it means the inimitable way of reading Browning that is bound to become a college memory for no one can ever hope to equal it. But do not be deceived. There are some things about Mary that are decidedly not gentle — the way she plays basketball —the way she reads, “You blocks, you stones, you WORSE than senseless things!!!” “3 The weapon that no enemy can parry is a cheerful spirit. A quietly strong person, who possesses an abundance of vitality, ambition and con- centration of the kind the B. S. students crave, who has never a thought of concealing her real opinions who has a quick, eager disposition and a willingness to do anything that the courses necessitate and several additional things as well who has a genial, natural manner that marks her at once as sincerity’s own who always makes the best of everything and who has the rare trait of being willing to do anything for the good of the class, even at the sacrifice of her personal pursuits. “ just kept quiet and took notice.

But Kay — Kay has at last come into her own and Harvard boasts another student. And Margaret McCluskey will be graduated this year from Syracuse University. That Kitty McQuade is degreeless this June is really due to Kitty ' s carelessness in matric- ulating, for Kitty spends almost as much time visiting N.

And our Freshman President, Helen O ' Brien, whose wonderful musical talent was once the pride of T8, is pursuing her musical studies at Columbia University. The business world that claimed Esther O ' Toole after three short weeks in Freshman Year has never relinquished its demands upon her business ability; and neither has the life of a lady of leisure lost its fascination for Evelyn Reynolds. Of Emilie Wood- ard, whose artistic taste was responsible for many of the choices made in Freshman year, we have news that she is attending art school in New York.

The College, which was opened under the name of St. Angela’s, was the first New York State Catholic College devoted to the higher education of young women and was the third of its kind in the United States. The day and boarding, elementary and high school, that the Ursulines had opened in 1897 in the historic old Leland Castle, had prospered and grown; and the dream of Reverend Mother Irene, then Superior, since Provincial of the Ursuline Province of the Northern United States, was realized when the college department opened its doors. In the years immediately follow ing, the college grew’ so rapidly that twelve large dwelling houses in the neighborhood were bought and turned into dormitories for the girls, each dormitory building being in charge of a Sister, and each building being an ideal home. In 1908 the new recitation hall which had been erected opposite the Castle was opened. This building, known as the Gymnasium, is equipped with recitation rooms, with up-to-date laboratories, both physical and chemical, with an auditorium where a large stage is carefully designed to meet the concert and the dramatic needs of the college, and with a gymnasium appointed with everything athletic that can add interest and healthful pleasure to college life. In 1912 the corner stone of a new r Residence Hall was laid, and in 1913 this build- ing, on the western end of the campus behind the Castle, was opened to the students under the ' name of Maura Hall. Maura Hall is the ideal residence hall. The ground floor is occupied by the beautiful English dining hall where the sun streams in all day through the great windows, and by the spacious low-ceilinged living-room, which, with its luxurious tapestry furniture, its grand piano, its tables filled with the best current magazines, and its atmosphere of comfort and hominess, is the admiration of all who visit the college. The three upper stories of the building are occupied by dor- mitories, and the class “cosy rooms” on each corridor, which cosy rooms are fitted up with wicker furniture and with drapings of the colors of the individual classes. Despite the enormous size of Maura Hall, the cottages have been retained and have been moved into groups, ma king the Campus a compact world of its own. Last year the college chapel in the Castle — the building once the whole college, now only the library, the reception halls, the faculty apartments, and the study halls 164 -08 ANNALS3 of the lower school — was enlarged to occupy the entire second floor of Leland Castle. 1 here are plans slowly maturing lor the erection of a new chapel, a hall of music and a domestic economy building. The college, which opened its doors to nine girls in 1904, today counts its Alumnae by the hundreds, and each year receives as Freshmen a class three or four times as large as the entire college was a few years ago. Courses in Arts, Sciences, Secretarial Studies, Music and Letters are offered. The Arts Course, leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, is a general course. The Science Course, leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Science, requires grouped work in science. The Secretarial Course, which was opened in 1916, offers the general subjects necessary for a liberal education and special subjects designed to give scien- tific and technical training necessary to meet the growing need for trained workers in scientific, literary and professional pursuits. The course leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Letters is offered for students desiring to do intensive work in languages and literature. There is no doubt that one of the greatest secrets of the rapid and efficient growth of the College of New Rochelle is due to the kind of teachers invariably employed in this institution. Ever since the establishment of the college the lay teachers employed have been selected with the greatest care from the ranks of those teachers who have had the advantage not only of college and university training but also the advan- tage of wide experience in teaching and in organization work. It is unnecessary to speak of the proficiency in the Ursuline nuns themselves. They have always been trained in accordance with the best pedagogical methods of the day, and the Ursu- lines at New Rochelle are the equals of their noted predecessors. The graduates of the College have met with phenomenal success in whatever line of work they have undertaken; especially are the “New Rochelle girls” noted for their success in the teaching profession. During the last few years there has been a growing tendency for the graduates to enter the business world, and this June, for the first time, the Degree of Bachelor of Secretarial Studies will be conferred on those members of 1918 who have pursued the business course. As fast as wisdom dictates, the College of New Rochelle will keep on adding- courses until its curriculum represents offerings in every economic field for women. Slow, sure progress and conservatism are the principles upon which it bases its advance- ment, and thus it is assured of year by year accomplishing more and more in the field of educational endeavor.

The nine graduates of 1908 were the charter members, and from their number Nellie Hannon was elected as the first president. Though the Alumnae flourished (as Alumnae of but nine members is bound to), yet for the few years following its establishment, this flourishing was a secret proc- ess that left no record of detailed deeds behind it, but that kept warm in the hearts of the pioneer graduates the love of the Alma Mater who looked to them to establish her reputation, and that was the nucleus of the flourishing organization of today. Marion Hennessy, ’08 (Mrs. William Birmingham), the second president, was re-elected; Mary McDonnell, ’08, the third president, held office for three terms. The principal activities of the organization during these early days were two — a mid-winter meeting held in New York City, and a spring meeting held in the recep- tion rooms of the Castle on the afternoon of the Conferring of Degrees. The incoming members were, and still are, received into the Alumnae at a banquet given on the evening of Graduation Day. On April 23, 1912, the first Alumnae Dance took place in New York City at Delmonico’s, and until 1918 the yearly dance has been held in the same place some time in the late winter. Elizabeth Burr, Tl, assumed the office of president in 1915. In March of that year the New England Chapter was founded; in the fall, the first official report of the association, which then numbered one hundred and forty-three members, was issued. Since then, the Alumnae Association has joined the International Confederation of Catholic Alumnae; Vera Babcock, Tl, has been elected president; the first Alumnae Plays produced were so successful that they were repeated on several occasions; the classes of 1910 and 1917 have joined the ranks of Alumnae; and you who will read through the following pages will see that great strides have been taken in every direc- tion to “foster the spirit of fellowship among the graduates and to promote the inter- ests of the College.” Betty” Burr 167 “OB AMMALS5 Nnu liujlanh fflljaptrr Alumna “Once upon a time” (this is a true story, you see) way back in the infant days of New Rochelle — St. Angela’s we called it then — that well known and once highly respected common carrier, the N. Y. N. H. H. R.R., stopped at a place called Chic- opee, and took on a young blue-stocking called Nora (sometimes “Nora Wouldst”). Then it slowly wended its way to Hartford and here Dot, Polly and Mary, the first of the famous “Smith line” boarded it. At Berlin — name of ill-repute — appeared “Dalila Doolittle,” who, however, really came from New Britain; at Meriden, Hazel and the “humble author of these reminiscences” (that’s borrowed from May Curran’s “When the College was New” in the first Annales). A little later Agnes and Bina joined this party of “daughters of St. Angela” who were journeying in pursuit of that elusive phantom, higher education, to “the first institution of its kind for Cath- olic women in New York State.” The day of which I write was, to be exact, the Sunday after Thanksgiving of the year 1908. You remember, Dot and Polly, that you had worked nobly, but in vain, to convince Rev. Mother Augustine that “really nice people didn’t travel on Sunday in Connecticut,” and therefore registration after Thanksgiving recess should be not “Sunday at six,” but “Monday at six.” Ho y joyfully we greeted one another — how we talked and talked all the way down — and “college,” “college,” “college” was the theme of the conversation. What plans we made, what dreams we dreamed, for the wonderful new college, our college, which in a few short months had inspired in us a love and enthusiasm such as an older and more firmly established institution could never have awakened. This journey was the first of many which this little group made together — the “Connecticut Delegation” we called it — (Nora wasn’t really “Connecticut” but we shared honors with her) and these gatherings, though we didn’t realize it then, were the meetings of an incipient New England Chapter. So that, when we came to form a chapter a few years after the journeys were over for most of us, it was a joyful re- union — a gathering of the clan ! -os AM MALES 15 It wasn’t to have been a New England Chapter at first, only a Connecticut one, and we held a preliminary meeting to discuss plans at the Taft in New Haven on February 20, 1915. Here it was decided to broaden the proposed Connecticut Chap- ter into a New England one, so as to keep in touch with the girls acattered through- out the other States in numbers as yet insufficient to permit their forming local chap- ters, and plans were made for an organization meeting to be held in June. It was an enthusiastic crowd of girls who gathered for the organization meeting at Mary Smith’s in Hartford on June 26th. Need I tell you that the first and most important business of the meeting was an eager, excited discussion of all the news of New Rochelle — and how greedily the girls who had been out of touch with “college doings” for some time drank it all in? Betty Burr, ’ll, then President of the Alumnae, as interested and enthusiastic about the proposed chapter as we New Englanders ourselves — from the beginning she’d been a perfect “brick,” always to be relied upon when help was needed — had come up from New York for the meeting, and gave us a most inspiring talk on the aims of the Alumnae as a whole, and the ways in which the New England Chapter could assist in their accomplishment. After her talk a constitution was discussed and adopted and the following officers were elected: President, Julia F. Sullivan, T2, Vice-President, Mary H. Smith, T2, Secretary, Agnes O’Reilly, ’12, Treasurer, Anna McMahon, ’15, Executive Member, Margaret Seltzer, TO. It was decided to hold regular meetings in February and June, and special ones should the occasion arise, and the members were to do all in their power, individually and collectively, to promote the interests of New Rochelle throughout New England. So far, so good! But now, as I look back, a doubt assails me. Has the history of the chapter been one of aspirations rather than accomplishments! Establishing most any thing is, after all, up hill work, and “chapters” are no exception to the gen- eral rule. In the two years in which we have existed we have encountered many 169 difficulties — our members are widely scattered and often find it hard to attend meet- ings. Nevertheless, the meetings have been held regularly and have been fairly well attended. Two cherished plans we have been obliged to abandon one, the presentation of the 1916 Campus Play, “The Fantastics,” in Meriden, under the auspices of the chapter, because unforeseen circumstances at college made arrangements impossible the other, the dance which we had planned to give at the Taft, during the ( hristmas vacation this year, which was, of course, abandoned because of the war. On the positive side we have to offer a membership increased to thirty-five; and, through the kindness of Rev. Mother Ignatius, the privilege of conferring competi- tive scholarship which entitles its holder to four years’ tuition at New Rochelle. And now our “Magnum Opus’’ — so far, at least, is facing us. At the February meeting we are to discuss plans for our share in the 1918 Gift Fund, and we hope, then, to give substantial evidence of our activity. And to prove our love and loyalty for our Alma Mater, and for that devoted group of women who, by their work, sacrifice and prayer have made N. R. the “pride of all who enter neath her portals gray and tall.” Julia Sullivan 170 Ofi ANNALgS IS ilummuil ' ifflutluu ' jlrnu- FOUNDRESS OF THE COLLEGE OF NEW ROCHELLE We have left the shelter of our Alma Mater, but we return in memory and in imagination to the walls whose atmosphere breathes progress and peace. And what stands out most vividly as we recall those four years of joy and hopefulness? It is the remembrance of that great influence which pervaded our lives, it is the deep con- sciousness that we were stimulated by the presence of her who, like a lighted lamp, shed warmth and courage into the heart of the College. Gently, yet vigorously, has her unwavering belief in the God-given work of higher education for women broken down all barriers, fought all discouragement and now reigns triumphant in the glory of the College which calls her Foundress. At the age of eighteen. Reverend Mother Irene entered the Ursuline Order at East Morrisania. She was among the band of nine which was sent to establish a community at Henry St., New York. This community developed rapidly and engaged itself in new undertakings in which Mother Irene played a most active part. In 1897 she aided in establishing the Ursuline Seminary of New Rochelle. But one of the greatest works for which God designed her did not materialize until 1904. In that year a notable event in Catholic history took place — the foundation of the first Cath- olic College for women in the State of New York. This undertaking was finally accomplished, and the noble aim which Mother Irene had been steadfastly pursuing was brought to a successful issue. The new Col- lege flourished during the following years, until now it stands in all its strength and beauty and usefulness, numbering two hundred and thirty students, a pride and joy to the heart of the Church. Mother Irene has enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing hun- dreds of graduates go forth from their Alma Mater to bring distinction upon it by their lives of virtue and utility. Besides applying untiring energy to the maturing of this great educational thought, she has labored hard to aid in the establishment of the Canonical Union of Ursuline Orders. This was accomplished in 1906, and Rev- erend Mother Irene was chosen second Provincial Counsellor to attend the General Chapter of the Mother House in Rome. In April, 1909, she was elected Provincial of the Northern Province of the United States, which position she held for two suc- ceeding terms. She has been Dean of New Rochelle College since its founding. The first class of nine girls was graduated in 1908, and year by year that num- ber has increased, until now, the year 1918 will behold thirty-six young women pre- pared to take their places in the world. They are reaping the fruit which she, after many years of anxious endeavor, has procured for them. They are going forth, fired with an impulse to mental progress and with a strong desire for virtue, and they will thus eventually prove that woman’s mind can be raised to the heights of intellectual truth without diminishing the goodness and love of her heart. On this page we wish to manifest the deep reverence, the tender love and the filial gratitude which we feel for our revered Foundress. We pay our tribute here to her high and noble qualities, and this tribute springs from the heart of every one who has had the privilege of living in the atmosphere which her spirit has inspired and of feeling the thrill of admiration in the presence of her who has scattered blessings along our path. She has gathered together and spent all her powers and energies to develop Christian youth toward the ideal of right life, of perfect womanhood. The portrayal of her life resembles the immortal picture in the gallery of Scrip- ture, of the valiant woman who like our Foundress hath put out her hand to strong things, she hath looked well to the paths of her house, and her children have arisen to proclaim her blessed. iyi li ®ljp following frirnito of thr Alumna: iittol) to join its in rxprrfifling Ijrartirst congratulations to ottr iFrtntfc m ft JFounftrrBB iRoit rottb fflotljrr Jrntc iflra.

A. Halpin, Ph. I). AM MALES 3ffatl|pr ifalpin Not long since, at a little afternoon tea, one of my friends said: “Margaret, I gave one of Father Halpin’s books as a Christmas present this year!” And my heart went pitter-patter with delight to hear of his fame thus spread; to know that the beau- tiful thoughts, the wisdom and the learning of his extraordinary mind, were thus being passed on and on, to instruct and to inspire. On my desk, in a little silver frame, is his picture — only a wee one, snapped one day w ith a humble Brownie No. 2, by one of us girls while he w-as strolling unsuspect- ingly across the campus. But the small camera did its task efficiently; the picture looks just like him ! The soldierly bearing; the tall, splendid figure, with the romantic-looking cape-cloak thrown around his shoulders; the white hair, blown by the wind; the keen eyes, looking straight ahead! I know better than the little picture, how T ever, how T blue they are — “blue as w r ater, w T hen the sun of March shines through it.” And they have a way of looking straight through you, into your very soul; yet so kindly that they cast pretty, golden lights on any dark spots there. When you come back to college and meet him, he is apt to say: “Look at me, child!” Then, with the flashlight of those keen eyes, he will search your heart in an instant; and if you’ve behaved well during the year or two since your last visit, he will say, with a humorous twinkle: “You’re all right, child. I can tell by the left corner of your eye.” Under his arm is a little book — I know- it must be Coppens , old C oppens ’ Logic y with the brick-red covers. If I try to analyze the charm of him, I fail miserably. Is it his courtliness of man- ner; or his keen, peerless intellect; or his exact justice; or his simplicity and humility; or is it his gentle, consuming kindness and charity, which wins you most? I cannot say. 175 06 AM MALES I got to thinking of him today — inspired, perhaps, by the small, silver-framed picture. It was as if I were turning the pages of a picture book of which he was the subject. The pictures did not work out a story; they were just mental snap- shots of him, stored in my memory ever since those “violet days” — as Helen from Toledo used to call them — at C. N. R. Come girls, and see the pictures in my memory book of Father Hal- pin! Here he is, on a spring after- noon, coming home from his walk through the village. He is swinging his cane; now he spies the very little four-year-old girl who lives in the cottage across from the gym — the cottage with the myrtle or bluebells all over the front lawn. She has a little bit of a broom with which she is sweeping the walk, over and over again; she is so busy that she must keep on sweeping even while she talks with Father Halpin. He enjoys this babe hugely. That is one of the wonders of him — the simplicity joined to his greatness which makes him love the little ones, even as his Divine Master loved them. It is evident that the little girl likes him very much, also; too wee to be conscious of his greatness, yet wise enough to be won by his friendly smile. Gracious, girls ! that babe must be ten years old now ! How the years are flying ! And here he is again, sitting at the desk in our Logic Class. Remember that front classroom on the first floor, with its two long rows of chairs? The principles of reasoning he taught us there, and the beauty of truth. And he had so many, many stories tucked in the lesson. What a mind is his! Like an immortal’s, truly! He who had taught the men in Fordham University expected to find ours a toy college, and us girls not over-clever. But he was pleased, he used to tell us, to be dis- illusioned. Now and then, moreover, he would speak a neat, brief word of counsel, such as this: “Keep your heart like a poodle with a strong string attached. And don’t let it get away from you — until you’re sure. Or: “Never turn the page of a letter; one page is enough to say all you need to say.” 176 ' 03 - N MAI “if Maybe it was at our Alpha Alpha meetings, which he attended in courtly fashion, that he gave us those bits of advice. Alpha Al- pha, our philosoph- ical society which he founded ! Remem- ber the meetings in the beautiful Castle Hall; and how we used to put on our prettiest dresses; and the papers read; and how we would thrill with pleasure at his least word of commendation? In this next picture, girls, he is in the chapel — now preaching our Senior retreat; now our Baccalaureate Sermon. Each word — he used so few — a ton in weight; each one precisely chosen and beautiful; each one a precious seed, dropped into our hearts! Are we helping them to grow, girls, into the splendid plants he meant we should? And here he is in his study, with books, books, books, from floor to ceiling — Aquinas, Plato, and countless others! Seated in his big leather chair he is reading and thinking! On the table near is his set of Shakespeare — marvel of marvels for tininess ! Each volume is as teenty-weenty as your littlest finger; and the min- iature revolving shelves are made from the tree that grew in majesty near the great author’s very birth- place! And there, on his desk, is the little gold statue of the Virgin Mary which he holds in his hands each night when he raises them to bless Alma Mater, the fair green campus and all who dwell within its happy bounds. And, girls, I’m sure that bright rays from that nightly blessing reach us, too, and fall on our souls tenderly; for we Alumnae are all the great and kindly Father Hal- pin’s own girls! 177 Alumna rxtrniia ita iirryrat agmyatljy to Dr. 3lolyt Aaycll tljf bratlj of hta lu ' lonrii tuife mtb our loyal frtrnii, Mrs. 3fdjtt Ab pU B’pptrmbrr 15. 1317 $ 3n Unutttg memory of Agnes 2L murgljg, ' 12 tilth QDrtnbrr 20, 191 B anil (Slafogs M.

S. No. 35, Manhattan, seated at her desk. She greeted me cordially, as she does all casual visitors, but when I said: “I am a former New Rochelle girl,” her cordiality became warm, interested friendliness. “What can I do for you, dear?” was her immediate query, and it was not long- before I learned that this was very characteristic of Miss Tucker. She is one of those rare mortals who are more eager to do favors than seek them. When I had explained that I was in search of some facts about the early years of my Alma Mater, and thought she, as the first professor at New Rochelle, was the best one to ask, she gave a cheery nod of consent and settled back with a reminiscent smile . “It was in May, 1904,” she began, “that I had a little talk with Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, in the course of which he said: ‘If a young woman studies and receives a Bachelor ' s Degree, she should be able to carry on mechanically the work of the past; if she receives a Master’s or a Doctor’s Degree, she owes it to the cause of Education to map out a field of original effort and do real work in that new field.’ “I thought of this talk as I walked to the subway and wondered what my field of original effort should be. I had just bought a copy of the ‘Herald ' and as I glanced over it, my eye was caught by the picture of a beautiful old castle. It illustrated an article which told of the contemplated foundation of a Catholic College for women in New Rochelle, u nder the direction of the Ursuline nuns. “‘Here is my new field!’ I said. “At 42d Street I left the car and ten minutes later was on my way to New Rochelle. “Though I knew nobody at the Castle, the words ‘Columbia University’ admitted me. In one of the great front rooms I awaited the Reverend Mother with mingled feelings. Soon Reverend Mother entered and warmly greeted me as the first college applicant. That broke the ice and after I had explained my mission we talked col- lege possibilities. “Two weeks later. Reverend Mother Irene sent for me and for the next eight years I was a professor at New Rochelle. l8o “As the representative of the college I attended the meetings of the deans of all the colleges of New York State, and saw to it that Saint Angela (the baby name of New Rochelle) was properly represented. Once having wired that “Mother Irene” accepted the invitation to attend the College Deans’ Conference at Cornell, nobody met me upon my arrival at the Ithaca station. As this was contrary to custom, I was rather worried, but I managed to find my way to the office of the secretary. To my amazement, after I had presented my card, Dean Crane burst out laughing and said: ‘Why, we expected two sisters and our most dignified professors are at the’ sta- tion to meet them!’ “Dr. Howard Rogers, then in charge of the Regents’ College Department, was very kind and always made it his business to help us by keeping us informed as to required standards. Reverend Father Daniel J. Quinn, of Fordham, was a staunch friend, always ready to help the ‘female annex of Fordham’ as he jestingly called us. “In order to give the college wider influence, and in order to advertise it more, I arranged a series of sixty, bi-monthly lectures, dealing with the leading educational problems of the day. Among the lecturers were heads of various city departments, colleges, and, best of all, Father Halpin. “The Board of Examiners, especially James J. Byrne, was helpful in keeping an eye on the college curriculum and seeing that it was more than the law required. “In 1906, at 93d Street and Park Avenue, the Extension Department was opened. Soon over five hundred students were registered for the college courses, and over three hundred teachers changed from parochial to substitute, and then regular positions in the New York City public schools through the courses offered there. “I wrote syllabuses in the History of Education Psychology, and Methods and a Visualized History of Education which is used today, not only in New Rochelle but all over the country in colleges and normal schools. “Is that enough, dear?” Miss Tucker paused to ask, with her same cheerful will- ingness to help out, but with a rather worried glance at the Italian mothers, book agents and others who were waiting their turn to see Miss Tucker. So I reluctantly said it was enough, and went out into the street, thinking how fortunate was the chance that had sent Miss L. E. Tucker to New Rochelle. 1 8 1 •03 AM MALES ' 13 == i. i ■ ■ = === = = === = ==gg==a “Jl ruunt tityaolf in nothing clar so hayytj Aa in a aonl rrntrmh’ring nut guuh frirnha.” 183 ' 03 - N NAL iflnllu-r Aiiuiuiitm- To speak of Mother Augustine’s part in the life of the College in its early days is to speak of the very life of the College, for she was a sine qua non. I refer, of course, to the first four years when I was there, beiore Mother was whisked away to be that far-off divine personage, the Superior, under whom the whole institution moved. She was then, no doubt, more necessary than ever, but as a director and not a par- ticipant, much to the deprivation of the classes who succeeded us. In our time, Mother was officially the instructor in mathematics, and unoffi- cially everything else that was. Only the other day a reader at the library asked me for a table of logarithms and when I had assumed my usual knowing expression and sought a trigonometry text, only to find it missing, he said persuasively: “Maybe you can tell me the logarithm for this.” When I had told him, I thought remin- iscently of the time when, under Mother ' s able guidance, I had memorized even logs. Mother had a way of getting us to do things that we didn’t want to do, and it was she who gave form and direction and success to everything that we did want to do. In fact, almost all those activities that make the life of the College what it is can be traced to their beginnings some time in the years 1904-1908, when Mother and her associates, with eyes fixed on the future, and with the finest hope and courage, estab- lished the precedents that they wished to have in the big College that was to be. The Quarterly had its first issue in our Freshman year, 1905, an issue which is still in existence somewhere, I hope, for it had many creditable things, consideri ng our youth. The same year saw the beginning of dramatics, with our performance on the campus of Tennyson’s “Princess.” Some time later, athletics were started, and at the time of our graduation the athletic association was full-fledged and held its meet. Not one of these could have been without Mother Augustine’s smile of encouragement and tireless pursuit of the detail that made them successful. Nothing was too small for her consideration, from choosing a costume for the play to per- suading people to advertise in the Quarterly. But better than all this was the little, nameless, unremembered part, the com- mon daily association with Mother, half of which I missed because I was a day stu- dent. What I did have of it, I love to remember. At the venerable age of a ten-year- old college graduate one has learned that life is selection. I here are some things that one puts out of one’s consciousness, some that one gladly allows to slip away, and some that one keeps securely established to the end of the chapter. For all graduates, our association with Mother Augustine is of the last class. 184 AM N ALES iflntlu ' r Jgnattua We feel nothing but pity for those poor undergraduates who will never know “our Mother Ignatius” in any other capacity than that of the high and mighty Very Rev- erend Mother Superior. We rejoice in the honor which is her due, but we just can’t help feeling a trifle superior as we remember the days when she was the house mis- tress of “38”. Those were the balmy days when the time for taking one’s bath was a matter ruled by most rigorous pronunciamentos on the bathroom door! Oh, the ice-cream with fudge sauce, meted out with stern impartiality, and the red letter days when the “divinity” came from Ohio, or “38’s” Valentine Box arrived! But best of all, was Mother Ignatius, smiling from her arm chair or chatting at the screen in her doorway. Always calm, always just, there was but one thing which roused the lightnings in her placid blue eye. The sound of water wastefully rushing over one’s hands would bring reproach in a jiffy. How she entered into discussions, decided our vocations, lent us volumes of Benson! Oh, a rare and incomparable House Mistress was the Reverend Mother Ignatius. 185 ■ 03 A N M ALKS 13 fHntlirr bp Salpa Since my earliest days at school, those dire words “Mistress of Discipline had always conjured up — well, what sort of a mental picture does that phrase bring to you? But Mother de Sales, Mistress of Discipline at the College of New Rochelle, and former House Mistress of “ 23 ,” is very different from anything her awe-inspiring- title might suggest. From our first Freshman “gather nearer, girls” meeting, until now, when as dig- nified Alumnae we return to college, Mother de Sales has always been a warm, inter- ested friend. She has a wonderfully appreciative sense of humor that has often saved a mirth provoking culprit from being “campussed” or from the suspension due her. Do you remember, girls, how Mother laughed at Loretta s quick retort, when (caught in some violation of rules) she asked Mother how she had learned of it and upon Mother’s replying, with a twinkle in her eye, “My beads told me,” Loretta promptly answered, “Well, all I can say is, your beads were stringing you! ? Mother de Sales loves the College of New Rochelle, its songs, precedents, and ceremonies, so many of which she has been instrumental in establishing and keeping alive. If ever you appeal to Mother for co-operation, or enlist her ready interest in an undertaking, she spares neither time nor energy in helping that undertaking to materialize. “All possibilities are in her hands, No danger daunts her and no foe withstands, In her sublime audacity of faith, ‘Be thou removed,’ she to the mountain saith.” — and may we say, in grateful conclusion, the mountain is always removed? 03 ANNALSS 13 Mntlirr M. 4! n tin l a We sing of “Nine” and its Mistress! That small energetic body which clothed one of the big personalities of College! That kindly, sympathetic friend who under- stood the homesick Freshmen, gave wise and timely counsel to struggling and way- ward Sophomores, helped to determine the vocations of perturbed and vacillating Juniors, and applied vigorous and helpful mustard plasters to the aching spots of weary Seniors. Mother Loyola will go down in history as one of the Great Souls, if for no other reason than the absorbed attention she always paid when one was making profound remarks upon oneself. And that tribute is not a flippant one. We came to College from the four corners of the globe at the time when we were most in need of con- fiding what w r as happening within us to some sympathetic soul who had mature judg- ment and foresightedness. And many a girl in College can date the beginning of a salutary change in thought and action from one of those precious half hours with Mother Loyola. Mother’s chief gift, it seems to me, is that of the maternal instinct, and no house on the campus held so real a family as the little groups who lived in “Nine.” The head of the house was versatile beyond words. Were you ill? Mother appeared with an invalid’s tray of hot and inviting viands. Were you lonely? Mother just happened into your room and talked of birds and flowers until the gnomes of ill-humor vanished. Were you jolly? Mother would hold you breathless and excited while she probed your dark past with her magic clairvoyance and prophesied your future with unerring precision. The girls who were “Niners” have built a shrine in their hearts to the loyal friend, the wise counsellor and the tender guardian — Mother Loyola. 12 IS? “03 AN jNALSS 13 iHutlu ' i ' Xmiirr We first knew Mother Xavier in the old days when the Residence Hall was in the process of building and when she was Mistress of the “White House.” She was Sister Xavier then, and the charm of her personality influenced especially those who knew her more intimately. This charm was largely in the simple sincerity of her character. Sister Xavier has that peculiar and winning manner which invites the confidence of all those who come in contact with her and this was, of course, the more special privilege of the girls living at 38 West Castle Place. Cheerful, pleasant, and always just in all circumstances, trusting implicitly in the honor of her girls, she won their confidence and their loyalty. Dear Sister Xavier, always so lovable, especially when a wee bit absent-minded! No one of us can ever forget the umbrella-poker which Mother Xavier loves to tell of, as a joke on herself. Mother Xavier’s classes are still vivid memories. How clearly she explained away difficul ties, how intensely interested she was in our ideas, and how cleverly she illustrated her points by apropos stories, only those who have known and loved her classes can fitly tell. Finally, Mother Xavier, whole-hearted and whole-souled, is one of the “many few” Tvho have that rare and happy combination of practical common sense and great personal human interest. All who approach her are sure of a sympathetic hear- ing, a generous understanding, and of sound, womanly advice. And so we close, with sincere respect, loyalty and affection for her whom all admire, and whom every college girl, past and present loves — Mother M. Xavier. 1 88 03 AM MALES P iHra. lEatrllr if. Slams No one who has sat under “the greatest authority on phonetics in the U. S. A.,” could help being impressed by her profound knowledge and her genius for causing beautiful speech to blossom where only dialects had grown before. But there is so much more to our priceless “Davy” than mere encyclopediac wisdom and pedagogic wizardry. As college recedes into the dim past and becomes less and less a collection of themes written or exams passed and more a place where one met friends, it is astonishing to find how much Mrs. Davis contributed to our life at New Rochelle. She introduced us to the broad “a” — and to bran biscuits! Through her we met and conquered that formidable Austrian Army. She is respon- sible for so many of our “great” moments. Who does not remember her Kipling eve- ning, or thrill to the mention of the “Servant In The House”? A special privilege of intimate knowledge with this beloved celebrity comes to members of the Dramatic Club. Membership in this organization is and was a lib- eral education, not only in dramatics but in politics, baggage distribution systems, and the poise necessary to face with calm the possibility of playing a Shakespearean hero in a brown corduroy skirt. While we were undergrads, Mrs. Davis pruned our straggling speech to perfect symmetry, patronized our Y. B. Tea Rooms, inspired the timorous to unparalleled heroism in the Senior Oratorical Contest, and filled our limited horizon to a very large extent. And what shall we who have graduated say of her continued interest in us, her hearty helpfulness and increasing graciousness ? She has been “friend, philosopher, guide” to many of us. All hail, Davy the Beloved! 189 “oa AN MAL JlticmuiLmla C. M. BUSH, PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH AT ST. ANGELA’S Convents had always seemed to me fascinating places with a flavor of Gothic romance — perhaps because I had never been inside one. I came, therefore, to teach in the College of St. Angela with a sense of adventurous curiosity, eager for new expe- riences, and quite artless in my attitude of receptive wonderment. When I rang the Castle bell, the door mysteriously opened through the agency, as I saw at a second glance, of a white veiled novice who stood modestly in the back- ground to let me pass through. The hall into which I entered was not quite so con- ventual as I had imagined it would be. Its dark panels, its carved furniture, its stained-glass windows, all seemed to me a thought too elegant for a cloister, an impres- sion that was further carried out by the drawing room in which I awaited the coming of the Reverend Mother. The long light of late afternoon shone through the French windows of the recrea- tion hall, across the polished floor. Everywhere there was a sense of order and still- ness and peace. The quiet was occasionally broken by a bell which clanged out some mysterious number, followed by soft, padding footfalls and the dull tinkle of rosary beads. Then a deeper silence. For weeks after I came to the Castle I went about the halls on tiptoe, unconsciously imitating the noiselessness of those padded footsteps, fearing to speak above a whisper, and in daily dread of making some dull secular blunder Against ancient cloistral tradition. Once outside of the Castle, however, the sense of tradition ceased. In the daily life of the College there was a certain pioneer quality which it now seems strange to look back upon. My room was in one of the small private cottages, then recently taken over by the College in the process of expansion, and devoted to the housing of students and the secular faculty, with the spiritual leaven of a nun or two. I was so eager to taste the full flavor of a nunnery that I should have been rather glad to find myself allotted to a cell, but my small apartment held no disappointing luxuries. It contained a bed and a small iron washstand. Nuns, I discovered, did not use mirrors. The closet held the library of a former occupant, from which I selected a volume entitled “The Perfect Religious,” and seating myself on my trunk I read on in the waning light until supper was announced. 190 03 AN MALES A long, white, chilly table was laid in the dark-panelled dining-room of the Castle. We were waited on by a lay nun whose genial brogue and caressing manner sweetened the pale ecru tea that she poured out of huge pitchers into cups of what seemed to me phenomenal thickness. But thickness is, after all, only comparative. On a later occasion a visiting friend had the misfortune to break her cup, and was comforted by our kindly attendant’s assurance that “them delicate cups has very fragile handles.” The nuns, it seems, used tableware of a far sturdier quality in their own refectory. If we didn’t exactly run to creature comforts in those early days, we lived in an atmosphere of friendliness and intimacy that is quite impossible in a large college. We had not yet become academic. The classes were so small that each individual’s tastes and convictions were matters of pleasant knowledge. Jenny’s aversion to fish which prevented her from tolerating “The Compleat Angler.” Margaret’s earnest insistence that Fielding was inspired by Saint Joseph in the naming of his hero. Mar- ion’s deep love for the metres of Horace which made her memorize an ode a day for the pure joy of acquisition! The sense of intimacy that prevailed throughout the College was partly due to the fact that some of the students had grown up under the convent wing, and were still regarded by the nuns as irresponsible children whose comings and goings must be sedulously guarded. I remember that on one occasion, just after the lawn had been newly sown, a messenger arrived at one of the cottages, sent from the towery heights of the Superioress’s office. Her message was: “Tell Nellie Hannon that Rev- erend Mother says to keep off the grass.” It mattered little that Nellie was at that time an admirably-conducted young woman in the Sophomore Class. To the “Almae Matres” she was still the reckless seminarian whose errant footsteps had once crushed the tender blades. Fortunately, almost everyone had a sense of humor. No one took herself too seriously or refused to lend herself to the general entertainment. At the evening recreation she who had the gift of “floating,” floated to the joy of all beholders, and the staidest nun would whisper ecstatically to her companion “Look at Anna Mc- Glynn!” The College of New r Rochelle presents today a very different appearance from St. Angela’s of blessed memory. I imagine that the large residence hall holds more com- forts than our simple cots. Hot water, for instance, probably flows more freely than it did in the cottages ten years ago when washing was extra, though French might be had for the asking, and music without it. The dining-room tableware, I have observed, has become attenuated almost to the point of fragility. What other lux- uries may have crept in I will not try to im agine, but you may fancy, if you will, what cheerful ascetics we were in the consulship of Mother Augustine. AM MAI 13 WItpu the (CdIIpqp Has Npui Saint Angela’s, or rather (since it has outgrown its christened name) the College of New Rochelle, had an eventful babyhood and, if a noisy infancy is any forecast of adult strength, must be destined for great things when it shall have attained years of discretion. It was undeniably noisy, even boisterous. And yet, I don’t remember that it gave its guardians any serious cause for worry or kept anybody up nights. The truth was — nobody wanted to go to bed then, and as there was no legislation regarding lights, nobody did. The first class exercise (there was no formal opening) was September 12, 1904. It was extremely early in the month fo r a college to begin work, and few of the Pio- neers were present. The honors of the occasion belong to Cornelia Hanna, Anna McLaughlin (now Sister Cephas) and Mary McDonnell. Winifred MacDonald arrived that same day, I think, and the rest of us trailed along through the first four months, Marie Lalor arriving very shortly after, while I was one week late. Anna Brennan (now Mrs. Vanderpoel) came next. Irene Jennings and Josephine Larkin waited until Thanksgiving, and Marion Hennessy and Agnes Keating came with the first Mid-Years. There were transients, also, but they must be nameless here as no method of identifying their footsteps on the shifting sands of that first year suggests itself. The three “oldest inhabitants,” whom I have already mentioned, were the sole members of that first Livy class taught by Father White of blessed memory. There was little of the discoverer’s ecstasy about those first weeks. Our emotion partook more of the lonesome helplessness of the humble crew forced to do things all out of their own heads. Nothing was ready-made. Precedent had to be manu- factured, and the consciousness of the exactions of future classes did not make the task easier. But there were compensations . A pleasing vagueness existed among the Faculty as to our rights and privileges. Our wonder-working slogan “they do it in other Colleges” always won the day. Having no laws to tempt infraction, we were what is usually called law-abiding. Indeed, there was not room enough for discord — in those days things were on a very small family scale. One cottage held us all. It was “Number Nine” which then stood directly opposite the path leading to the Castle. “Sky Parlor” has since become the generic name for all upper college rooms, but it originally applied to Anna Bren- nan’s little room which was sous les toits for we were crowded in everywhere. Things were very intimate. It was customary o’ nights to gather together for a conversation feast. Usually the whole college could arrange itself comfortably (allow- ing for some overlapping) on a small bed. Then there were ghost stories and stories of “things that happened back home,” with the usual refreshments to top off. Our meals were served in the Seminary Refectory. That, by the way, brings to mind the present day changes. 08 AM MALES Then we were on close terms with the parent institution. Many strong friend- ships existed between the Seminary Seniors and the College. The Recreation Hour in the evening and the Study Period in the afternoon were common ground for both. The latter ignominious institution was soon abolished and when we grew large enou gh to fill our own table we moved to what is now the Chaplain’s Dining Room, and so we saw less and less of the younger girls. Our class room, we only needed one, was the front part of the present College Library. The same sulky plaster Dante adorned the bookcase and there was a port- able blackboard on which Mother Augustine conjured up ghastly sines, cosines and variables out of the “infinity” which was their proper sphere. The original teaching force underwent many changes during the first year: Mother Augustine in the Mathematics department, Mother Carthage in History, Professor Sinagnan in French, Madame Sinagnan in German and Miss Fay in elocution were the only stationary classes as regards teachers. Dear Mother Carthage, who died the following term, held a variety of chairs in different subjects. English was most chaotic of all. There was Miss Roberts, Miss Klapp and a number of interregnums, all more or less disturbing, until Miss Bush came in our Sophomore year to make us wells of English, pure and undefiled. There were no electives. Everyone took everything and “music extra.” There seemed to be a general desire to “brush up,” as it was called, and there was a tre- mendous amount of well-meant though futile practice. A popular course was Friday Afternoon Etiquette. Under the kindly escort of Professor Rutledge (who must have received his degree from the Old School) we enjoyed the weekly pleasure of “meeting the King.” Mr. Pallen came on Mondays to deliver a course of lectures on Dante. The spirits in the “Paradise” couldn’t have been more exquisitely well behaved than we were during that hour. Dr. Manning gave an occasional talk on physiology. On Satur- days Miss Tucker regaled us with choice tidbits from the New York City educational scheme. These were our works and, looking back, with a vivid remembrance of the small amount of energy we put into each (always excepting Mary McDonnell and Anna McLaughlin) I think we must have been judged principally by the faith that was in us! But there was a social side. The first and greatest event of the year was a sort of combination affair, a lecture on the Nile, moving-picture show, banquet, all of which were as nothing to the main feature — the first wearing of the cap and gown. Oh, those first scholastic impedimenta! Like the curses of the Jackdaw of Rheims they hung on our backs “In sitting, in standing, in lying, In walking, in riding, in flying.” Moving pictures had not then fallen int( disrepute and, viewed through the tassel of a neighbor’s cap, might even be considered aesthetic. The banquet, too, was a brilliant affair only marred by the fact that, when we were called upon to respond 193 03 ANNALSS 13 to toasts, we were too dazed by magnificence to utter a syllable. Most of the sociable- ness of that year consisted in unorganized hilarity which it better becomes the dig- nity of the first class to leave in oblivion. There was a Tennyson evening, however, and some real musieales. Father McLoughlin, always the staunch friend of 1908, occasionally came of an evening to regale us with beautiful music. There were lectures, too. Father Halpin, then a stranger to us, gave a talk one Saturday morning. It was truly inspiring. We did not dare dream then that we could have him as a teacher and chaplain! When warm w r eather came, we had a straw ride. Reverend Mother Irene had given her permission for the affair, but I don’t think she had the faintest conception of the degree of rusticity involved. She looked so astonished wdien she saw her young ladies jauntily ensconced in a hay-wagon! But the permission held and it was a glorious straw ride — a moonlight picnic moving along the shores of the Sound. No one who was there will ever forget it! The last days of Pioneer year will always call up to my mind the first Quarterly. Few publications have, I think, been more conscientiously edited. There w ere con- ferences for months between the editors, who were Mary McDonnell, Anna Mc- Loughlin and the humble author of these reminiscences and Mother Augustine and Mr. Nelson Hume. Whatever the financial status of the present Quarterly , the first edition, at least, looked more prosperous. It was de luxe in every respect except contents. Fat cherubs, who looked as if milk and honey had agreed with them, disported themselves about the College seal. The title in Old English surmounted this device and the wdiole was printed on heavy art paper in pale blue and bound with blue silk cords. Inside were painfully labored essays on abstruse subjects. Each small literary craft steered out of the safe port of one irreproachable quotation through the perilous breakers of Exposition into the welcome haven of another two-line sentiment, pref- erably verse. But no one w ill ever know the vast labor of love that went into that first Quar- terly. We were ten, all told, and it was a brave undertaking for so small a group. It would have been impossible save for the fact that Mother Augustine’s boundless courage and cheerful common-sense stood behind us. For most of us, Mother Augus- tine was the College, and 1908 would have gone through more than editorial throes to prove itself wo rthy of Mother Augustine’s faith. A word is due here to the wonderful efforts of our first Dean, Reverend Mother Irene. Few of us will forget just how Herculean was her work as Foundress nor the tender thoughtfulness she showed each Pioneer. She was very proud of our Quarterly. The printing-press and pioneer days do not go together, and with the first College publication the old times ended. When another term began, the College had reached a vigorous childhood and the anxious period w T as safely past. 194 OUR FAMILY In 1908 In 190!)

What pleasant memories come to me Of your untroubled days of peace, And hours almost of ecstasy. The first meeting of Faculty and students, pictured beside the imposing and ceremonious gatherings of these days, has a combined flavor of the quaint- and the humorous. The student body on that early morning in early September (for the whole thing had an earliness that in these days would be rather shocking) was repre- sented by three individuals, all rather immature, and very shy. There was nothing of the esprit de corps and assurance which characterizes the modern Freshman Class. (Let no Freshman or ex-Freshman take this amiss, because I say it with no disparage- ment of modern Freshmen.) Faculty was impersonated in Father White, who was then chaplain, and was scheduled to teach us Latin. I remember his gruff welcome: “If you do your work we ' ll be friends, and if you don’t we won’t.” Father White was one of the fine priests of the old school, and work or no work, we were always good friends. There was just one bone of contention between the College and Father White, and that was the Ablative Absolute, which he insisted on calling by some old country name that was foreign to the ears of the younger generation, and relations sometimes became strained by reason of our mutual unwillingness to change our nomenclature in this important matter. Before our Freshman year was over, however. Father White was too ill to con- tinue the work, and our Latin passed into the hands of Miss Henrietta Clapp, our new English instructor. English, during the first semester, had been taught by a Miss Roberts, whom I chiefly associate with a rainbow shawl. Physical conditions in those early days were rather Spartan, and the shawl was well justified. Miss Clapp excelled as an English rather than a Latin teacher, and I recall distinctly her acid test of our native taste and discrimination by putting before us Wordsworth’s “Lucy Grey” and “Willie Gill,” to criticise and choose. The first issue of the Quarterly came out at the end of our Freshman year, and it was under Miss Clapp’s direction that I wrote my St. Francis article. I speak of the article with hardihood because I am sure that it is now “o. p.” but I always think of Miss Clapp with gratitude for introducing me to the riches of the literature about that greatest poet among the saints and greatest saint among the poets. One good practice that Miss Clapp tried to inculcate in us was the habit of keeping an idea book, in which all wandering thoughts were to be nailed down for future use, and some of the more conscientious bought notebooks, and went about with rather tense expressions, struggling to find thoughts with something of the same earnestness with which we tried to find sins at retreat times. 2C7 AM M AL55 13 During all four years of our course we had occasional lectures by Mr. Conde Pallen, now of Catholic Encyclopaedia fame. His splendid lectures on Dante and Shakespeare have made a big part in the mental stock of all of us who were fortunate enough to be present at them. I wonder how many of my classmates will remember a Miss Gurney who came to us some time in the Freshman year? A ship that passed in the night, she had our English class for only one or two recitations, and I hold it a high compliment to any teacher to say that in one lesson she made an impression that lasted for ten years. Who else remembers her remark in passing, that spoken language has been forever dignified by the expression “the Word of God”? At last our rather troubled English and Latin courses fell to Miss Charlotte Marion Bush, and remained under her brilliant leadership for the rest of our time, and several years after that. Poetry, drama, the novel, American literature, Latin drama and poetry, all were put before us in the most live and illuminating way, and if we failed to grasp, it was because of our own inability. I have never since met a mind so full of treasures. I have taken graduate work at one of the big universities, and found no course so full of intel- lectual vitamines. I am sorry that I cannot do justice to our instructors in mathematics and science. If the truth be told, whenever a loophold offered, I fled from the exact sciences. So I have only vague memories of a Mr. Brewster, who piloted us through trigonometry or physics or both, and of a Mr. Rice, who revealed the secrets of chemistry. I remember that Mother Agnes did experiments with us in that little corridor of the Administration Building which is now a locker room, and succeeded in winning our affections to herself, whatever might be our bias in regard to the subject. Of Mother Augustine’s work in the mathematics courses and in the whole life of the College I have spoken elsewhere — most inadequately, I must confess. To a rather impressionistic student, the formative condition of things in the first years offered a welcome opportunity to dodge undesirable subjects and to nibble at the congenial. We had rather more languages than a balanced ration allows, greatly to my satisfaction. We learned a surprising amount of French in a short time from M. Leon Sinagnan, now a distinguished member of the Council of Foreign Language Teachers in New York City. Mme. Sinagnan at the same time initiated us in Ger- man. Miss Mary V. Conkey, who came in 1909, had in addition to her history classes, a few very small and very delightful classes in Greek, and we marched with Xenophon and dreamed with Plato. And no member of our old Faculty has left a warmer feeling of affection and admiration than Miss Conkey. Most beloved among our informal instructors in language was Mother Marie de l’lncarnation, or Mother Incarnation as we more briefly named her. She used to walk with us on the campus and assist us to converse, but it was so infinitely 208 ‘03 ANNALS3 pleasanter to listen to Mother than to struggle with our own halting French, that we were oftener listeners than conversants. Mother was one of the exilees from France in 1910 . She arrived at New Rochelle with a little group from various parts of France, none from her own community, I think, and began at once, with the utmost cheer- fulness and courage to adjust herself to the very different conditions of life here. She learned English with astonishing rapidity, and I well remember the glee with which she understood, appreciated, and repeated a joke that passed among the girls about a wager of a basket of fruit. The loser said she would pay with a basket of lemons. As Mother had it — “Miss Mary will give you a basket of lee-mons.” Let me not leave out athletics and dramatics and music. Who can forget Miss Frances Fay, who drilled us through many “Ah-a-ee-i-o-oo-ah’s” to the performance of our campus plays, or Mr. Nelson Hume, who came in at last rehearsals to touch up the men’s parts and give us the swashing and martial outside? Our two Shakes- peare plays and “The Princess,” even seen in this long perspective, were very cred- itable performances. Athletics were under Miss Hogan and then Miss Tamagno. But the Class of 1908 was in its last phase when these were introduced and the burden of age and work prevented our disporting ourselves very much. Once a week we sang with Mr. Mulligan, and later with Mr. Danforth. Does anyone remember with me that lovely and joyous little melody of Mr. Mulligan’s own composition for “My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose”? In those days we all thought we wanted to be school teachers. Afterwards some of us changed our minds. But we gladly suffered Miss Tucker. I say suffered, because valuable as the course was, it took up our Saturday mornings, which was absolutely the only free time we had. But we faithfully applied ourselves to the study of psy- chology and methods of teaching, and some of us who continued in the profession were later associated with Miss Louise E. Tucker in her very interesting work in New York’s East Side. I have left the best until the last. One Saturday near the end of our Freshman year, after our regular class in the science of education, an extra lecture was announced, to be given by Rev. P. A. Halpin. Father Halpin was to us a name only, but it needed that one lecture to make us long for him for our resident chaplain, as we had none. The following fall our wish was realized, and Father Halpin is now, I think, the only member of the original Faculty still teaching in the College. We admired him, as every succeeding class has done, for the clearness and sureness of his teaching in the classroom and the coolness and rightness of his judgment in all cases of friction and difficulty in student activity, and we loved him for his always ready and reliable friendship for us as individuals. From the day of that first lecture until now, he has been the finest, highest, and noblest influence for the upbuilding of all that is best in the College. 209 “00 AN MALES ' 13 War Work The Committee in charge of War Work in the Alumnae Association has sub- mitted the following report concerning the War-time activities of the Association: All members are knitting for the Army and Navy. Many members are active workers on Surgical Dressings’ Com- mittees of Red Cross Units. Trained Social Investigators are working among the families of Soldiers and Sailors. Many members have volunteered their services as secretaries to Red Cross Officials and at the Headquarters of the American Women’s Hospitals. Some, specially fitted in the art of entertaining, are helping to amuse the “boys” at near-by Camps, Training Stations, and Hospitals. A Sub-Committee is working on “ways and means” to raise funds for an ambulance to be donated and maintained by the Alumnae and Students of the College of New Rochelle. Through the efforts and co-operation of the Finance Committee, a substantial sum was sent to the New Rochelle branch of the Knights of Columbus War Camp Fund. At present the Committee has a plan under consideration whereby alFmembers living in and near New York City can join a unit for War Work under the direction of the Federation of Catholic Women. The unit will be known as the New Rochelle Alumnae Unit, and classes in First Aid and the preparation of Surgical Dressings will be formed in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. In this way it will be possible for all graduates of New Rochelle to combine their efforts in a common cause — New Rochelle’s part in the great work the American Woman is doing to help her country “Carry On.” 210 ' OS XN NAL.

Judge of our joy then, when in the Fall of 1916, cards were received announcing that Alumnae were to give two plays for the benefit of the Gift Fund. All who cared to try for parts were requested to meet in the Auditorium of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, at a specified time. Mrs. William Birmingham, ’08, Chairman of the Finance Committee, and .Miss Maria Cendoya, ’16, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, were the originators of the idea. They summoned as their able assistant Miss Lorreto Donlin, T4, a grad- uate of Sargents’ American Academy of Dramatic Art. When the preliminaries were over, and girls, plays and parts selected, we settled down to the grind of rehearsals. Evening was the only time available as most of us were busy during the day. We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Harry Hadfield, of the Green Room Club, as our coach. To him we owe the smoothness of the performance and the perfection of stage business. “Petticoat Perfidy,” a satire on social, butterflies, and “Neighbors,” a play of Wisconsin rural life, offered great contrast a®T were selected as our bill. When we began rehearsal wc plmned to give the plays but once, at Delmonico’s, on the evening of Saturday, January 27, 1917. Only Marion and Maria can ade- quately describe that fatal day, but the rest of us will never forget it. Do you remember, girls, how we arrived bright and early Saturday morning expect- ing to begin rehearsal at once, only to find the stage in the process of reconstruction? And Harry Hadfield, hot and disheveled, in his shirt sleeves, derby hat on the back of his head, hammer in hand, nailing the stage “together again.” From this tranquil scene, we retired to the dressing room to make ready for a rehearsal, which if we were to judge from the looks of things would never take place. Here trouble again was encountered as unfortunately the leading lady and a prominent “Neighbor” had selected similar shades for their costumes. But perhaps that is a family matter not to be discussed in public. Noon came, one o’clock came, and Mr. Hadfield ’s temper went, but still the stage remained rather like Humpty Dumpty after his famous fall. Someone ven- tured a remark about Rome and how long it took to build it, but the words were lost in a dismal silence. We were starved, but the edict had come from our director “No one is to leave this place for anything ! We’re here to rehearse and nothing else. Under- stand?” “Ease Leeming, with her persuasive English manner, managed to get out to a hearty luncheon, but, once again, Maria and Marion were forced to come to our 222 ' ’03 AN MALES 13 rescue. They seized “Bill” Birmingham’s brand new Gladstone bag (which, inci- dentally was lost that day and never found again) and went forth to Mendel’s, return- ing anon with chicken sandwiches, milk and apple pie — a feast for the gods! Three o’clock found rehearsal at last under way. While Anne Hamilton (as Grandma Abel) struggled through her opening scene, she had the distraction of seeing the coach absent-mindedly devour her sandwich. Since this didn’t succeed in making her forget her lines, we felt confident night would find her letter-perfect. Evening came, and so did rain, but despite that we had a crowded and excep- tionally enthusiastic house. Every point was greeted with storms of laughter, and quite forgotten were the trials of the day when we took our curtain calls in the approved fashion. So successful did our plays prove that the Daughters of Isabella of South Nor- walk asked us to repeat our performance at Hovts’ Theatre in Connecticut. Mr Hadfield, without whom we felt we could never do the plays justice, consented to join our “road company” and, of course, our two managers came along to see that all went well. It had rained on the night of our first performance in New r York and now on this second attempt the weather tried to freeze us out. Lower and lower the mercury dropped until the zero mark shone above it. The theatre displayed an advance fall fashion of a heatless night and we chattered through our lines blowing on our fingers and jumping up and dow T n to keep warm. Later in the evening, when the audience clapped loud and long, some pessimist suggested that perhaps they, too, were trying to get the blood in circulation. But as the lady novelist used to say, dear reader, I anticipate. When we tried to make a quiet exit in search of a cup of coffee our professional coach cried “What’s the idea? Did you get me up here so you could get out to a pink tea party? We came up here to work and we’re going to, see?” We did see, but we had also seen a restaurant down the line, so led by “Ease” Leeming, who w as a stern believer in regular meals, some of us stole out, while the rest covered the retreat. On our way back to the theatre, much cheered up, we invaded a quick lunch wagon and bought manna in the form of ham sandwiches and coffee. Talk about your Greeks bearing gifts! Once again our efforts were well rewarded, for the audience seemed truly pleased and enthusiastic and the town papers gave us glowing praise. By this time we had begun to feel like a sure-nuff travelling troup. Our next appearance was before the community and undergrads at New r Rochelle. Of course, you can imagine the reception we received there! After the plays, “Props and Paint” served refreshments in the Living Room of the Residence Hall, and as our taxis rolled off to the familiar old station, we were unanimous in agreeing that of all our college activities, dramatics and our four years’ training under “our own Mrs. Da ds” had been of the most use and afforded the greatest enjoyment. Surely now our performances were over, we thought, but this was not the case. Father Duffy, Chaplain bf the Fighting 69th, w as to have a benefit at the McKinley Square Theatre, for his church, and we were requested to give “Neighbors” as one 223 AMMALSS 13 of the acts of the evening. This time we did not have our old friend, Mr. Hadfield, with us, because he was rehearsing for a play soon to open on Broadway. However, we secured the service of another coach who, after we had run through our lines, assembled us to tell us we were the most “intelligent amateurs” he had ever seen. But all good things must come to an end and our play ended with a fifth and last performance at the church of Our Lady of Mercy for the benefit of the night school. At the eleventh hour, when all the arrangements had been made, Anna McMahon, “our leading man” became ill. Ann Hynes shifted to her part and Helen Langdon was imported from Jersey to substitute in Ann’s part. It was Helen s first appearance on any stage, in a speaking part, but that didn t phase her for a minute. She said she would fill in if we paid her taxi fare from Coytesville to the Bronx and back. We did and she was worth it! True, she insisted upon calling the wood “coal,” and said of her offering of clothes “they never was any good, instead of “they was real good in the beginning.” But who cared for a little thing like that when compared to her remarkable savoir faire and her ability to bluff her lines? Miss Zona Gale, the authoress, would probably have writhed to hear her words distorted, and some- times we were convulsed with suppressed laughter or panic stricken to see how a sen- tence would turn out, but all’s well that ends well and Ann Hynes made a hit as the hero and the audience manifested approval of our efforts. hat is more, our coffers became still heavier. As a result of our year in dramatics, Miss Louise Seymour, T4, of “Petticoat Perfidy” fame, decided to take up acting as a profession and this winter has appeared in two Broadway productions. Not long ago she met Mr. Hadfield in the Shubert Office. He said: “Are you in it, too?” And when she answered “Yes,” he said: “That’s good! That’s where you all belong!” And so, with praise from Sir Hubert, our season closed. 224 03 AM MALSS 13 225 03 AN MALES 13 1915 Beuntnn I am in the midst of whirling subway trains; of deafening noises; of h arsh voiced, shrieking crowds; of stifling, stagnant air. And then — I drift into the fragrance of a lilac-scented morning, full of the sweet notes of birds; of “checkered sunshine” on green lawns; of gay voices and laughter; and into the freshness of the morning, Father Halpin, smiling, with coppens held close, walks to the Gym. So at odd moments such as this, unexpectedly, bits of college life flash across our memory. But we of the Class of 1915, loath to break away from the happy asso- ciations that bound us together, were not content to go to our respective parts of the world and let New Rochelle and one another rest as memories. We, therefore desig- nated Commencement Week of 1917, when our sister class would be graduated, as our first period of reunion; the next period to be in 1920 and then every five years thereafter. In Commencement Week of June, 1917, all but a very few of us returned to New Rochelle. Mrs. Beattie of Circle Road very kindly rented her house to us for the week, and but that it wasn’t the Country Club or Stoddard or “38,” but a really truly home, we might have been students again. On the evening of our arrival, Catherine Ball, our President, gave an old-time kimona party. However, instead of the usual college kitchenette, the supper was served in Mrs. Beattie’s very lovely dining-room. This was the most exciting night of the reunion, for some of us had not seen each other during the intervening two years. The evening was spent in talking over the old days, when we took our Tennis Court Oath and did other wildly exciting things. And then how eagerly we listened to the experiences of the past two years Interest centered around Swiftie, Gertrude and Peg, our three brides. Whether or not the rest of us had had sixty nerve racking little demons to teach or had been rejected by the moving picture manager who was starring Billie Burke, was of no moment, but the missing of the train on the honey- moon, and what the brides gave the adored ones for breakfast, seemed to deeply con- cern each of the brides’ spinster sisters. Because of the many college affairs during the week, we planned only two formal functions: our Class Dinner and a luncheon to 1917. The Class Dinner was served in Father Halpin’s dining-room and we were just a sufficient number to sit at the round table decorated with Cerise shaded candles and American Beauty roses, our class flower and color. The girls looked charming; the dinner was excellent and everyone was happy; but into the eyes of three there crept a vague, distracted look. The luncheon for 1917 helped more than anything else to bridge our two years’ absence. The buffet table was set in the living-room and decorated in Purple and White, ’17’s colors. We sat comfortably in the large chairs and couches and while we ate learned all the latest gossip. After lunch we danced until it was time for the Seniors to dress for their Tea. So the days sped all too quickly in the round of Commencement Week pleasures; walks along Pelham and 1915 parties in the house on Circle Road, and one never-to- be-forgotten trip to Mount Vernon in which Swiftie played the leading role. One by one we left until only Olive, Dorothy and I remained, and finally, most reluctantly, we, too, left the lilacs and checkered sunshine, the voices and the laughter. 226 1915 “03 AN M ALES Jffirat Unmimi of tiff (I hum of 1916 The First Annual Reunion of the Class of 1916 was especially favored by Time, Place and Circumstance. The Time was March 17, 1917 — Sixteen’s Class Day — when, if ever, every member’s heart turns naturally, spontaneously Collegeward to the days of Green and White. And the Place was the wide-rolling campus of the College of New Rochelle. Think of it — a class to have its first reunion back in the old familiar haunts — with the dear familiar friends of college days! And the Circumstances? They included the Time and the Place, it is true, but more. Our own eager, enthusiastic desire for a class reunion — out of a class of forty- one, we were present thirty strong! — of course, was vitally important, but, contrib- uting more, much more to the success of Sixteen’ s Great Day was the gladness of her welcome home! Mother de Sales just gathered her girls in; we were not graduates, not Alumnae, just Sixteen, and we were to relive our college life for two whole days. Ah! “Wherever Sixteen’s hearts are true,” the courtesy, the glad hospitality of each and every member of C. N. R. will not soon be forgotten. Such things but grow sweeter with time. No, Sixteen will not soon forget. But, of course, if you were not with us at the reunion, you will want to know just what did happen and, if you were one of the fortunate ones present, you will want to remember that happy time. On the afternoon of March 17th, taxis and carriages began to roll down Main Street and Center Avenue in ever-increasing numbers. Past “58” — past the Gym, then in state to the front door of the Residence Hall — but there all ceremonial ended! Laughing, happy, chattering, we stormed into the big hall, greeting Mother de Sales, Little Sisters of 1918, and long-lost ’16-ers! In the first hilarity of our meeting we even wanted to register! A moment of calm reflection, however, and Sixteen was aghast at such treasonable deflection from her old habits — for when had she ever longed to obey rules? Strange, but that was just her longing now, for that would make her feel, more than anything else, that she really had come back under the old conditions-! The first corridor had been entirely given over to us. Each girl who had roomed there might claim her former room. In an unbelievably short time, after depositing bags and baggage in our rooms, we saw Frank Petty sail by as of old — with her soap and towel! She was even managing a faint whistle! We were back all right — the illusion was now complete! While others dressed for dinner or lingered to chat, or strum the guitars found in almost every room, the decoration committee put the finishing touches to the Dining Hall. Here we must again thank our Sister Class who had appointed several mem- bers to assist our committee. We repeat gratefully that without their willing hands, and more than willing feet, the Green and White would not have waved so gaily from the chandeliers nor the tables been so charmingly appointed. Promptly at seven we entered the hall. Directly above us, from the balcony, smiled down the old green banner, uufurled for so many great events in days past. 228 ' 03 AjNMALj ‘if The tables, gay in green crepe paper and stately with white roses, were arranged in the form of “H” in honor of our President, Ann Hynes. Flowers from T8 and a huge, delicious Birthday Cake from T7 added to our pleasure. The favors and place cards were dear little green and white Souvenir Program booklets with the name of the owner engraved on each. The class officers, with the exception of our President, were seated at the center table. Deeply every one of us regretted that Ann was too seriously ill to lead our class reunion. The dinner itself! From the French menu through all the et ceteras of our famous turkey dinners, with their toasts and running fire of talk, was pure joy ! There was Virginia May, all the way from Toledo, Ohio; Janet Lynch, from Niagara; Mary Barrett, Anne Smith, and Rosa Hafey, from Springfield and Hartford-way. We all must hear their experiences and they, in turn, must listen to the deeds of glory of the girls from New York and the near-by cities. After dinner, came “old friends and old songs” when we joined the others in the Living Room. Gay groups around the piano (whose vibrant tone time has not mel- lowed), some dancing, others claiming the long denied privilege of the sofas, but the time went all too swiftly to ten o’clock. Then Sixteen, keeper of the rules! — repaired to her very own corridor, where in her very own cozy corner she enjoyed a “party” of Mother de Sales’ giving — ice cream and cake, laughter and jests, and sh! Truth! Of course, it was hours and hours later when reminiscences really ended, but then, one doesn’t have a class reunion every day. Sunday morning! Yes, no mistake, we were back at College. There was the Mass bell clanging lustily at 6:30. True to form, Frank bounced in and out, cheerily wishing us a very good morning, but (what we sleepier mortals appreciated more) closing transoms and windows at the same time! For once, TO showed she was not just “homefolks,” but a Visitor of State. That was when, crisp in fresh dicky and pressed gown, with cap at a proper angle, she appeared early , all present and accounted for, in line for Mass! After Sunday breakfast in the Dining Hall, where the sun still shines bright, we proved we had lost none of our agility in the ensuing scramble for the Sunday Times! A formal Class Meeting was held in the Gym, and from then until luncheon we fol- lowed our own will and the winds’ will — visited once again old Pelham Road and Hud- son Park; chummed with old friends; roamed through old haunts. At four o’clock we donned cap and gown and bachelor hood and descended to the Living Room to greet Father Halpin and to receive his blessing on his and our Feast Day. A blessing first given on March 17th in that long ago Freshman Year and treasured each year by Sixteen, but never more than now. The next number on our official program was Adieux. But I am going to spare you the telling and me the memory of that! Parting is such sweet sorrow that 1916, parting once again from Alma Mater and her college life, felt her eyes grow dim and strangely blurry till long after the Gym and “58” had been passed, and Barney’s carriage had deposited a slightly red-eved throng near Riker’s refreshing fountain. From there we went more bravely to the train! 229 0£3 ANjHALH 13 (§nt Irbit (as outlined by a member of the alumnae) I think that the real reason we have not accomplished more in the Alumnae is because we have expected to find ready and waiting for us all the comforts and privileges of more established Alumnae. W e have forgotten or overlooked the fact that, when the College was young, the first class made its own customs, and out of nothing created the traditions and precedents that make College life that something that one goes to get, lives while one has, and remembers afterwards.” As I write the word “precedent,” I have a vague feeling that it was an Open Sesame to many things. Whenever life was particularly dull, or interclass war particularly keen, someone was always trying to throw the “camouflage” of precedent over a usually forbidden pleasure. Of course, in those days, w e w’ere all together and it was more or less easy to begin “Banner Songs and “Junior Weeks, because everyone w T as within reach at the psychological moment. Now in the Alumnae if one has a brilliant idea, one cannot carry it out unless one is willing to write endless letters (which are most discouragingly left unanswered), telephone, call meetings, and even neglect necessary daily w’ork. Still, in spite of the difficulties, we must make ready to establish the traditions and make the something out of nothing , or we shall go on being very little more than a name. We can overcome the obstacles if we have the will! I shall arbitrarily set down here things that we must do if we are to mean anything to one another and to the College. First of all, we must realize some sort of a meeting place in New York, a room, at least, where the girls can go and rest and talk — freely. And having realized such a place we must main- tain it. Perhaps it will be years before we do, but it need not be. This accomplished we have a corner- stone for future activities. When the N. R. C. Alumnae has an address and telephone number it can be of more use to its members. I may mean something like the Y. W. C. A. hostess houses. I am purposely not too definite, because it should be a growth of the thought and feeling and need of the whole Alumnae, but I suggest that in this way, we might come to handle the question of information about positions and even eventually the actual placing of our members in satisfactory positions. We must remember that at present we get all such information and help from outside organizations. So much for ourselves (though we need many more things) — now, what can the Alumnae be to the College? Well! in the first place it could be closer to the College life than it is. The ideal thing would be a committee constantly in touch with the students, their point of view, development and needs. But per- haps that is Utopian. At the very least, we could have a committee that would find out about occasional needs like books, lectures, etc., and keep the Alumnae conscious of its obligation to its Alma Mater. Thus we might some time be able to supply the much-needed dormitory nurse, or the Chair of English or well, you all know the many things that a growing College should have but cannot quite afford. I know that, as you read, the consciousness will be growing in you that I am outlining expensive things, which will mean so many more appeals, so many more sudden, generous subscriptions and depleted check books. But I am not afraid of money any more, because I know that with a will money can be found. Besides we have classes coming into our organization and, as they come in, they can with the still enthusi- astic members be mobilized into a working unit. And if I had not been particularly careful not to be per- sonal, I should also mention our one particular financial genius. While I base my hope on the coming classes, I do not at all belittle the work of the past. I could not praise it too highly. As for the lazy, indifferent and even hostile members, I shall not waste time on them; let us work out something practical, let us with our empty hands build as the girls of the early days built, and when we have the comforts and privileges of other Alumnae, they will come back to us, I imagine — if we still want them. 230 “03 AM MAL. 1 £ AntutlfH Alumnar (Eommtttrea iCitrrarg (Cummxttrr Alida H.

N. R. C. ! ! EVERYWHERE ! ! “Do the work that ' s nearest D ID you ever hear of a prompter at a performance being so lost in admiration of the actors’ ability that he forgot to prompt, and spent his time rushing around the wings telling everyone how wonderful the acting was, and predicting an unprecedented success for the show? How long do you think such a prompter would last? Do you think he would be a big help to the company? We of America are in the position of prompters today — prompters to that All- Star Company, The U. S. Army. We must not spend our time enthusing about our actors’ ability, predicting unprecedented success for the Allies’ management of the great spectacle that is being produced in the theatre of war. We must do our part to back our company up, to let them know we are al ways right with them, following them in every line they speak in this tragedy called “Over There”. They have taken their cues from that chapter of the Book of Life called Patriotism, and if we would follow them rightly we must turn to the same chapter and see to it that the voice of our promptings carry to the utmost bounds of the great scene where our men are playing their parts. How much energy are you willing to give to this prompting? Will you give up a frappe that your brother may have food? Will you forego one summer dress that your sweetheart may have bandages to bind up his wounds? Will you save the dimes you spend on the movies that some blinded friend may be supplied with a little comfort? Girls!! N. R. C. !! EVERYWHERE ! ! “Do the work that’s nearest.” Buy Thrift Stamps ! !

A composition for cheapness and not for excellence of workmanship, is the most frequent and certain cause of the rapid decay and entire destruc- tion of arts and manufactures. — Ruskin O UR claim to your considera- tion lies in the fact that we have applied to our own business the thought contained in this quotation from one of the world’s greatest thinkers and practical workers. If there is anything attractive beyond the ordinary, in the page arrangement, cover decoration, presswork, and general harmony which distinguish our work, be assured it has not been due to chance. We leave nothing to chance. Every line, page, volume, as it comes from our establishment, is the result of a carefully laid, conscientiously executed plan.
