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

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
