Professor of Philosophy It is difficult to write adequately in apprecia- tion of one whose whole-hearted interest and loyal support has been a great factor in our College life. Since the Fall of 1921, Father Brady has been a member of the Faculty of N. R. C. As a teacher, Father Brady displays a keen, logical mind; a regard for thorough- ness and precision, offset by a never-ending patience and an ever-present sense of humor. As chaplain and friend, his unostentatious piety and zeal, and his deep understanding and sympathy for everyone in trouble or grief, have won for him the lasting esteem and admiration of the students of New Rochelle. To us the noble worth of his life cannot but be a true inspiration and guide. James J. Walsh K‘.C., St.G., M.D., Ph.D., Sc.D., Litt.D., Fellow A.M.A., A.A.A.S.; Author of “Makers of Modem Medicine”, “Old Time Makers of Medicine”, “The History of Medicine in New York State”, “The Thirteenth, the Greatest of Centuries”, “The Popes and Science”. Professor of Physiological Psychology “Ingenio stat sine morte decus . According to “Who ' s Who in America , Dr, Walsh is among the super-intellectuals of the world. His is a profound knowledge of many things with which we are fortunate enough to come J into contact on the occasions of his too-rare visits to our College; we mean his lectures H from which we have carried away the im- pression of Dr. Walsh, 4 a cultured philosopher with a sense of humor . To put down an adequate account of his work would be im- j Mg ' ' ifc f possible, for it is extensive and varied. Dr. f- £; W alsh is a noted authority on almost every big subject; on English literature and manners, especially of the Elizabethan period; Dante j ij and his times; the Middle Ages. He has con- Jki tributed in a great way to social work; he has £ delved into the history of social service and has interested himself in this field with medicine j 1 J T| j as a background. We regard the presence of gggg| Dr. Walsh on our Faculty with pride, pride in a superior person — a gentle, clear-thinking and forceful personality. Personnel Henry C. Metcalf A.B., Harvard University; Sorbonne and the School of Economics and Political Science, Paris; Ph.D., University of Berlin; Head of Dept, of Economics, Tufts College, 1900 1917; Chairman, Committee on Organic Development of Business; National Association of Corporation Schools, 1915-1916; Director, War Emergency Training Courses in Employment Management; Columbia University, Car- negie Institute of Technology; Bureau of Municipal Research, 19.18-1919; Staff, Bureau of Industrial Research, 1919-1920; Co-Author with 0. Tead, “ Personnel Adminis- tration, Its Principles and Practice”. interest of humans. Such a man is Doctor Metcali. i he subject he teaches, the work to which his life is devoted, proves that he is big— big in mind and in spirit. The manner in which he lectures reveals a fineness of intellect, a height of culture which enhances the appeal the matter has for us. The illustrations he gives us to clarify the points in his discourse afford us an opportunity to peep into his busy life. There we see that his very being strives to uplift, to improve, to “carry on”. He gives so much of himself to his teaching that those hearing him feel that they know, personally, one of the great scientific artists of the day. Eleven Miss Mary Edla Tibbits A.B., Barnard, 1907. Professor of English “Speak now or forever after hold your peace”. How often have we English students trembled before that ominous declaration. Jt meant that a task was at hand or work was in store for us, and work we did. Miss Tibbits is not the kind to tolerate a laggard, and no one feels inclined to doze peacefully in her literature classes. They are far too interesting for that. The cut-and-dried account of an author ' s life is changed into a fascinating story by her personal touches and flashes of subtle wit. Of all her admirable qualities the fairness she exercises and her appreciation of good work appeals most to her classes. Miss Tibbits is always friendly and affable, possess- ing an unusual personality which commands the interest and admiration of all. John M. Loughran A.B., New York University, 1907; A.M., New York Uni- versity, 1908; Graduate Student New York University, 1909-1915. Associate Professor of English Voice is indicative of mental caliber. True as it may be generally, specifically, Professor Loughran is the exemplification nearest to us. Forceful, smooth, brilliant in satire and whim- sical in appreciation, Professor Loughran has won the hearts of his pupils. Without flattery, his lectures are most interesting; first, because they are thoughtful; and second and most im- portant, because of their remarkable delivery. Debonair, courteous and fatherly, Professor Loughran is the true educator throughout; the type of educator who sees the best in students and who consequently succeeds in bringing forward the best that is in them. Twelve Miss Renata Marie Remy A.B., Hunter College. Associate Professor of English Occasionally, but rarely, one meets an in- dividual whose personality veritably opens a new field of thought and gives us a different and newer point of view to old knowledge. Such a one is Miss Renata Remy, th e most recent acquisition of the English Department of the College. The scope of her knowledge is as extensive and detailed as the brilliant pre- sentation of the subject to which we are con- stant witnesses. Great though her enthusiasm is, she does not permit it to overrule nor throw out of balance the broadmindedness which enables her to see both sides of any question. Her entire outlook is seasoned by a satirical humor which delights her hearers. Fortunate indeed is New Rochelle to have added her to its Faculty. Miss Teresa Adelaide Carbonara A.B., Barnard, 1920; A.M., Columbia, 1921. Instructor in Latin We are particularly fortunate in acquiring so competent a Latin instructor as Miss Car- bonara to fill the void that was created when Mother Loyola was compelled, by the incr ease of her duties, to relinquish the instruction of Freshman Latin. The remarkable fund of knowledge that Miss Carbonara brings to the subject makes what would be considered a dry course, interesting. Her information is not only confined to facts immediately con- nected with the subject at hand but she throws an entrancing atmosphere about Latin by bringing into class discussion, interesting bits of knowledge that are enlightening. The help Miss Carbonara gives those whom she realizes are actually interested in her course is in- valuable, and all her work is broadened and brightened by a quaint, quixotic humor. Thirteen Language PhILLXPE DE LA ROCHELLE Ai ' f ' F Litt.B., St. Hyacinthe; Harvard, 1894-1895; Instructor, ’ ‘ H Romance Languages and Literature, University of Pennsyt- : T vania, 1905-1912; Columbia, 1913-1923; Membre de la I Societe Nationale des Professeurs de Franeaise; Member t of the Modern Language Association of America; Member .. ! of the Harvard Law School Club. Wm. Professor of French Professor de la Rochelle represents the more I conservative type of French gentleman. By ■ X y conservative we do not mean that he is old- fashioned or unprogressive, because, he is far from being either of these. It is simply that I he reminds one of a typical gentleman of the ( I Old School. The charm and graciousness of the French are embodied in his solicitude for HHHBBHlii the young ladies in his classes. Their affairs are always a subject of interest and amusement to him. Untiring in his effort, Professor de la Rochelle deeply appreciates co-operation and enthusiasm in the students. A wonderful flow of clear, beautiful French does not alone comprise brilliant person- ality. He has a broad view of the current topics of the day and a deep knowledge which enables him to discuss them in a most engaging manner. Professor de la Rochelle is not only the scholar and the teacher, but the friend of every student in New Rochelle. F. Defrance Litt.B., University of Poitiers; L.L.M., University of Paris. Professor of French Literature Knowing Professor Defrance has helped us to understand not only his beautiful language but the very nature and temperament of the French people. His gallantry and gentleness are an incentive to even the most timid to speak freely in French — an ordeal that we used to dread. To him, duty is paramount; he has no patience with anyone who neglects her work. In return, he offers a like recom- pense — numerous exercises are corrected ac- curately and fairly and always up to date. His very dignity and love of the beautiful are unconsciously imparted to his students. The desire to glean from classical literature the highest standards of truth and honor is in- stilled in us as we listen to his accounts of the French authors. Possessed of a very striking personality and an air of superb command, Professor Defrance is one of the most cultured and aristocratic members of our Faculty. Fourteen Maximilian yon der Porten Berlin, Lausanne, Heidelberg, 1887-1902; Ph.D., Heidel- berg 1902; Romance Languages and Philology, University of Paris, 1902-1905; Oriental Languages and Literature, Vienna and Budapest, 1906-1907. Professor of Romance Languages Our first impression — that he is exacting, sarcastic, dignified, and a man of few words and many deeds. Our final impression — that he has a stern mien but a kind heart; a man who faces life fairly and frankly, always in- terested in the meanderings of its complex waters. It is his brilliancy, his learning and loftiness of thought that we most admire. As someone once said of him, “He is all truth in his words, and should the whole world dis- believe his integrity, dispute his character, and question his right to happiness, he would August Steitz A.B., New York University, 1905; A.M., Yale, 1906; Columbia, 1901-1906; Research Scholar, Germany 1912- 1913; Ph.D., New York University, 1914. . Professor of German Is there a single German student in our College who does not love and admire Pro- fessor Steitz? Perhaps it is his wonderful sense of humor combined with a genial and kindly manner that makes such a great im- pression! Nothing, except sometimes our atrocious pronunciations, can try his patience. Furthermore, he is not to be deceived — composition work, when too perfect, calls forth a humorous remark about our neighbor’s notebook. The most trying situations are dealt with in the same unique manner, but strange to say, no one dares to take advantage of it. More than anything else, however, his broadmindedness and interest in all his pupils are accountable for his great popularity. Professor Steitz is unusually brilliant and possesses that rare gift of being able to impart his knowledge to others. Faculty Professor Louis Campos College of the Escolapios Pamplona, 1898-1901; Yrache, 1901-1906; College of St. Paul, Angouleme, 1908-1910. Professor of Spanish The individual who has for his chief aim the furtherance of his fellow man’s welfare is very rare, and when found, ofttimes not apprecia- ted. There is one among us who is character- ized by this same aim; he is Senor Campos, Instructor in Spanish. His sincerity is very apparent, and this quality is the one that makes the greatest appeal to those who are inclined to treat the subject he teaches lightly. No labor or inconvenience is too much for him, when he knows that the result will be of benefit to his pupils. Professor Campos’ ability to see quickly the difficulties of the students and his patience in dealing with them is praiseworthy. His earnestness, understand- ing, and charming humor make for a complete understanding between himself and students, and accounts for his popularity on campus. Miss Edna Meyer Savage School of Physical Education, 1916; New York City, 1917. Instructor in Physical Training Miss Meyer is one of those people whose charm you cannot describe — she combines all that is admirable and lovable in character with an immeasurable amount of ability in her chosen field — tact and good looks. We of 1923 have always felt that Miss Meyer was peculiarly “Ours” ; perhaps because we came to N. R. C. together; perhaps because she coached and encouraged our team in those stormy Meet days of Freshman and Sopho- more years. Then, we scarcely knew her. Now, her magnetic personality, her clean-cut ap- pearance, her poise, her manner on the gym- nastic floor, and her unselfish devotion to us — our team, have welded our admiration and affection into the firmest of bonds — friendship. Ilf ANNALE S Jr Sixteen Oral English Mrs. Estelle H. Davis Washington School of Elocution, 1886-1887; F. F. Mackav, New York, 1896-1898. Professor of Oral English “Speak the speech I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of our players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines”. So definitely capable, so singularly artistic, so rigorously scientific a woman, is hard to find. A pioneer in the absorbing study of pure speech; determinedly creating speech values where hitherto speech power was absolutely nil, we viewMrs. Davis monumental lifework, so well accomplished, with admiration. We aim to emulate the mellow flow and rugged force of speech of which Mrs. Davis is master, and in doing so the realization of the greatness and intrinsic worth of her character comes home to us. So finely proportioned are the elements of science and art in her that the re- sult causes us to feel that in this age of woman, and in our woman’s world, Mrs. Davis is pinnacle-high. Miss Miriam Little Simons F. F. Mackay, National Conservatory of Dramatic Art, 1895-1905; Columbia, 1919-1920. New Rochelle first became acquainted with Miss Simons through her able direction of the Mid-Year Play of last year. Now that she has been added to the Faculty of the College we find that the impression we then received of her splendid ability has been confirmed by her thorough work of the past year. She brings the same vigor and force to the classroom that she brought to the directing of the play. Her remarkable knowledge of the technique of the spoken words, together with an equal patience, has helped the students to a firmer grasp of the principles of Oral English. The beauty and correctness of her own speech are a constant example for her class who strive to imitate her. This brings to mind that well-known and complimentary phrase, “Imitation is the sincer- est form of flattery”. Seventeen History Dr. John J. Schuler A.B., German Wallace, 1891; Johns Hopkins, 1901-1904; Ph.D., Columbia, 1908. Professor of History Who has not been held in awe by the majesty and greatness of a thunderstorm? Hear Dr. Schuler pronounce with passionate oratory the great names of history and hear thunder roll. Listen to the well ordered flow of Dr. Schuler’s lecture and observe how the listener drinks it in, even as the saving rain soaks into harrowed fields. After an introduction of wit, which so agreeably enlivens the serious hour, the thunder and roll of his discourse is broken by his mag- netic smile as flashes of lightning break in upon the dark sky. It is this leavening quality that makes Dr. Schuler understandable to us, without it Dr. Schuler is synonymous with power. Parker T. Moon B.S., Columbia, 1913; Ph.D., Columbia, 1921; Expert at Peace Conference, Paris; Author of “Catholic Social Movement in France”; Co-Author with Carlton J. H. Hayes of “ Introduction to World Politics”. Professor of History Any course given by Professor Moon is not dull. There is that unique art of deviation that makes his lectures so personal and in- teresting. Richly endowed with experience, gifted with a remarkable vocabulary, Professor Moon has brought intimately to us the ab- sorbing drama of world politics. He is the master of ceremonies to the march of time, permitting us to gaze upon its colorful array, bidding us to sit at the “round table” of adven- ture, picturing for us the rise and fall of nations with true historical, dispassionate ardor. Pru- dent, thorough, a man of pleasing personality, Professor Moon holds a high place in the esteem of both students and Faculty. Eighteen .A j. Business Edward J. Quinn B.C.S., New York University. Professor of Commercial Law and Accounting There is not a girl at N. R. C. who will not join in singing the praises of Professor Quinn — this genial, witty professor of ours. Ever aware of our shortcomings and foibles, his magnanimous nature enables him to look upon our blunderings with sympathy and under- standing. Although he occupies the professor ' s chair, by his understanding of the pupil ' s difficulties at all times he has accomplished his aim of creating a constant comradeship in the classroom and out. His generous spirit of helpfulness is felt in all his classes, but it is especially predominant under the shadow of approaching exams. Miss Elizabeth Doran B.S., New Rochelle 1918. Instructor in Stenography and Typewriting Miss Doran is a person of unusual vitality and forceful personality. Untiring herself, she expects and demands the same of her pupils. Slothfulness is a thing to be abhorred and not tolerated. The standard of her course is ex- ceptionally high. All the work assigned by Miss Doran is expected to be perfect; we add that it is, for no consideration is shown the unfortunate student who attempts to slip by without expending great effort in time and concentration on the work. Although Miss Doran is greatly to be admired for her clever- ness and her teaching abilities, it is her real personality which makes the greatest appeal. She possesses a most surprising sense of humor and power of mimicry, and uses both talents most effectively in the classroom. Her interest in, and sympathy with College life has won for Miss Doran many friends among the students. Nineteen Science William J. McAuliffe A.B., St. Francis Xavier, 1905; Columbia, 1913-1914. Professor of Science It has been said of Professor McAuliffe that “age cannot wither him, nor custom stale his infinite variety”. If anyone is in doubt as to the truth of this statement let him visit one of Professor McAuliffe’s classes and all doubt will be dispelled. One will find there a man with a quick, sunny smile, ever ready to help those in need. Under his cheerful guidance, science ceases to be a wearisome striving for the truth, but is a pleasurable as well as profitable pas- time. He has the happy faculty of making the darkest days seem the brightest — of spurring one on “to do noble things, not dream them all day long”. He is the very essence of optimism; he knows how “to cull fortune out of mis- fortune, to turn defeat into victory”. He believes that “the past is past, but lo! a future bright with o ' er abounding joy and all sur- passing light”. Matthew G. Hartman M.D., Fordham, 1917. Professor of Biology Young enough to be sympathetic with the students, yet experienced enough to give an intensive course in science, is Dr. Hartman. For his teaching ability and his grasp of the problem from the student ' s point of view we admire him. For broad-mindedness he demands our respect; for a delightful sense of humor, our affection. For the simplicity with which he presents his subject we thank him, for to many of us it is not given to be scientists. Interest- ing, varied, and withal scientific, Dr. Hartman is a teacher we would deeply regret losing. However, thanks to the Powers That Be, New Rochelle is not threatened with such a loss. Twenty Pedagogy John G. Condon A.B., College of the City of New York, 1882; Pd. M., New York University, 1902; Pd.D., 1904. Professor of Education “On his visage middle age Had slightly pressed its signet sage, Yet had not quenched the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth. Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare”. In a word this is Professor Condon. As a teacher he has impressed us with the power of his profession. As man and teacher, he possesses those sterling qualities of character that make for his success and ours. All his interests point to a broader development of whatever is noblest in life. Into all that attracts him he throws himself with zest and energy. “Yea,, he is a man with wisdom fraught, not such as books, but such as practice taught”. Joseph M. Kaine New Paltz Normal, 1906; [A.B., New York University 1910; A.M., New York University, 1912. Professor of Psychology As a teacher of that delicate crystal subject — psychology — Mr. Kaine is not only capable but possesses that unique quality of vision which the true idealist must have. Not only is he the true teacher in all the phases of the meaning of the word, but Mr. Kaine has the rare gift of imparting numerous definite ideas and new facts to others in a relatively short space of time. Personally, Professor Kaine is attractive for a polite, sincere manner, a highly burnished sense of values and an orderly, well- regulated mind, guided into the broadest channels of thought and intellectual develop- ment. Although Professor Kaine is com- paratively a recent acquisition of New Ro- chelle’s, we trust the acquaintanceship will remain for a very long time. Twenty-one Mathematics Arthur Burton Hussey A.B., Bates, 1914; A.M., Brown, 1915. Professor of Mathematics Deeply intellectual, pre-eminently scientific, at all times particular and exacting, Professor Hussey makes an unusually efficient teacher of higher mathematics. Those who come under his direction (and they are a very small and select group of the mathematically inclined) are convinced that he is an exceedingly earnest and serious man, zealously devoted to the business of mathe- matics. His ability to instill into feminine minds the perplexing principles of Analytics and Calculus is due to his thorough knowledge of the sub- ject and his scientific method of presentation. His exacting insistence on particulars makes for his efficiency. His impersonal attitude towards his classes and his impartial justice towards all, indicate that he has the true spirit James I. Conway A.B., Loyola, Baltimore, 1905; LL.B., Fordham, 1909. Professor of Mathematics Professor Conway has that type of mind with which we associate the mathematical. Capable of prolonged analysis, a logician if there ever was one, Professor Conway uses his gifts of keenness of perception and logical presentation as an aid to his pupils. Sincerity, an anxiety for a complete understanding of the matter at hand, characterizes his every move; courtesy mellows his every action. True to a type, but having a complete individualism that captivates us, he will always remain in our memories — the ideal mathematics pro- Twenty-two AM Hygienic Administration Carol T. Stevens, M.D. College Physician In appearance, Doctor Stevens is fatherly; as a physician, technically sound and skilled; so it is little wonder that we consider ourselves fortunate indeed to have him as our college physician. His interest in “his” girls’ welfare is as genuine as it is unconcealed and covers far more than their physical needs, for Doctor Stevens is a healer not only of bodily ills but of those often far more poignant mental ones. It is impossible for us to imagine any crisis either physical or mental, too great for him to cope with. When one is sick his visits are anticipated, for he has that power of sympathy which when intelligently used, is as great a factor in heal- ing our ills as medicine. In short, he is just the kind of a man one proudly refers to as “our family physician”. Mabel S. van Zelm The word “Infirmary” does not strike the terror in our hearts that one might think it would. We are told there is a “Law of Com- pensation”, and here we find it to hold true. It is never particularly pleasant to be sick and confined to bed, but when the bed is in the Infirmary the compensation is the kind and sympathetic care of Miss Zelm. When we are sick, Miss Zelm is the one person who counts. The greatest tribute of the Student Body to Miss Zelm is a tribute to her un- selfishness. Nothing is too much for her to do for her patients and nothing great enough for her patients to say of her, who has “A heart as true, a heart as kind As in the whole world you will find”. Twenty-three It needs little elabora- Her dignified manner, Religiosae Facultatis Mother M. Xavier A.B., New Rochelle, 1909; Columbia, 1910-1911, 1913-1914; A.M., Columbia, 1914. Professor of Sociology and Economics “Apprecier c’est eqaler”. How then can we hope to give full expression of our admiration and love of a character so rich in all the arts and graces of life; how catch in a single paragraph the inimitable tone of voice, the smile, the expression, the untiring energy? It is impossible, for we would always feel we had not expressed sufficiently the motherliness that has made her dear to every girl who has been under her tutelage. When we go out, one of the blest memories we will take with us is her smile, to encourage and lighten the burden of our various ways, “for her ways were gentle and her heart gold”. Mother M. Loyola, Associate Dean A.B., New Rochelle, 1908. Professor of Latin “A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and command”. This quotation expresses our Associate Dean perfectly, tion to those who know her. She lives what she teaches, quiet movements, and low voice are a constant example and ideal for us. Mother Loyola “warns”, and punishes too, but her justice is always tempered with mercy. As for her ability “to comfort”, only those who have had real sorrow know the entire sympathy she is capable of. Where she commands there is instant response. Truly noble, we can sum up the qualities for which she stands in the word so often upon her lips, “Lady”. Mother M. Cephas A.B., New Rochelle, 1908; A.M., Columbia, 1909. Professor of Mathematics Sympathy with and understanding of the people with whom one is daily associated begets their love and confidence. These qualities, so eminently human, have endeared Sister Cephas to all who know her. Wise men have told us that, although justice is the most necessary attribute of a ruler it is the most difficult to attain. When Sister Cephas acts in the capacity of teacher, guiding students through the intricacies of math, and in that of supreme arbiter in all questions athletic, we find fairness exercised as perfectly as human nature permits. Many of the im- portant physical, intellectual and spiritual activities have been spurred on by her encouraging, sensible advice. So, as friend, teacher and moderator, Sister Cephas adds an inestimable amount to the personnel of N. R. C. Sister T. Aquinas A.B., New Rochelle, 1913 ; New Rochelle, 1918-1920; A.M., Fordham, 1921-1922. Professor of History “Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the works of the world”. A glimpse into the character and personality of Sister Aquinas reveals one who perhaps is most intimately acquainted with student life, who is near to us, human and sympathetic. This picture of Sister Aquinas we find indelibly impressed upon our hearts, the result of our every-day association with her. As the Moder- ator of the Missionary Club she is the “tour de force” of that activity, having guided its first faltering steps to its present position of prominence, by her ambitious de- termination and unfailing interest. We shall remember Sister Aquinas for her naturalness and friendliness, and above all an unostentatious and distinctive personality, a pleasurable anomaly. Twenty-four ANNALES Extension Miss Marietta Riley A.B., Adelphi, 1907; A.M., Adelphi, 1908; A.M., Columbia, 1917; Pd.M., New York University, 1913; Ph.D., Ford- ham, 1919. Associate Professor of Education The spirit of deeds not words is the dominat- ing note in the professional character of Miss Riley. The rule of accomplishment, be it attributed to herself or her pupils, is obviously an accepted thing and works out admirably. For some years past Miss Riley’s work in the Extension Department has been uniquely successful and deserves great praise according- ly. Supremely dignified, conscious always of her duty as a teacher, she never neglects the human side of her work in encouraging our efforts and acclaiming our progress. Miss Riley is important on the Faculty of New Rochelle as a producer of results; for the sound, honest accomplishments of her pupils. Miss Mary Austin A.B., State College for Teachers, 1917. Instructor in Mathematics No more convincing expression of the true mathematical mind coupled with atrue woman’s heart can be found than in Miss Austin, Instructor in Mathematics in the Extension Department of the College. Whether it is in Summer School or elsewhere during the year, the same concern for the pupil’s welfare, a womanly patience and a tolerant appreciation of the difficulties of math, from the student’s point of view, is visible. Clear in diction, un- hurried in explanation, it is a delight to take math under her tutelage, even though it be in summer. Miss Austin is a distinguished asset to New Rochelle for her quiet charm of manner as well as her highly intellectual capacity for a vast knowledge of that mysterious subject — math. Music Madame Alma Webster Powell Mus.B., Columbia University; M.A., Columbia University; LL.B., New York University; Ph.D., Columbia Univer- sity: Studied in St. Petersburg, Paris, London, Berlin, Milan, and New York the art of singing; student of act- ing with Heinrich Conreid; Associate Director of the Powell and Pirani Musical Institute, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Director “The Alma Webster Powell Vocal Academy’ 5 , Brooklyn, N.Y.; Author of “Advanced School of Vocal Art”, “Music as a Human Need”. Instructor in V oice The Music Department of the College of New Rochelle appreciates its good fortune in being able to claim Madame Powell as one of its Faculty. Madame Powell has had a very successful career both as a teacher and as an artist, which double role is singularly remark- able. As an artist she is well known in Metro- politan Grand Opera and has sung to large audiences in Europe as well, while her capa- bility as a teacher has been attested by her widespread success in New York City. Her work here has more than justified our ex- pectations. Her pupils show rapid progress and a well - rounded artistic development. Madame Powell has a charming personality, a cosmopolitan culture, that makes association with her truly delightful. Miss Veronica Govers Mme. Luisa Cappiani, 1905-1907; Rodi-Fiesso, Switzer- land; Alberta Randegger, London, England, 1908; Lecturer on Music in Department of Education, New York City, 1909-1916. Instructor in F oice Among the musical lights of N. R. C. we place the name of Miss Govers, an ardent worker in the field of vocal music. She has not been with us for a great length of time, but long enough, however, for us to appreciate her zeal for our musical development. Her pupils find her not only a scientific and finished teacher but one of wholehearted belief in encourage- ment as a step to progress. This belief has been amply justified by her professional success. Tireless energy, sympathetic encouragement, and an ever-present fund of enthusiasm are a few of the qualitities that have made Miss Govers the musician and woman whom we know today.

Professor in Theory of Music Artistry, culture, affability are qualities outstanding the personality of Professor Haw- kins. His prerogative of artist is undisputed in New Rochelle, for we are well acquainted with his achievements here and particularly in New York City. As a lover of music he has proven his noble-hearted zeal in that cause by his earnest endeavor here at the College of New Rochelle. His methods are thorough and conscientious; his musical slogan being, “Per- fection in technique always”. In his professor- ship as well as in private life he is courteous, sociable, and friendly. His smile is intriguing, giving us a glimpse into the inner man who is so gently understanding of the strivings of those who follow the same ideal. His person- ality has absorbed the composer in the man, with the charming result of a successful, lovable genius. N. Stuart Smith Institute of Musical Art, New York, 1905-1906; Dr. Goetchius, M.

In such serious activities is Professor Smith interested to the oblivion of everything else. Among the prominent contemporary artists of instrumental music, Professor Smith holds a high place. However, despite the fact that his work has obviously been production in the musical world, he has not confined himself entirely to that sphere. Professor Smith en- riches the Faculty of New Rochelle in its Music Department, where in the role of teacher he stands for originality, earnest endeavor, and ability. All revere him, but those who come in daily contact with his unique personality and work under his guidance find in him a never- failing source of inspiration Twenty-seven Music Miss Sofia Naimska Graduate of Warsaw Conservatory; Theodore Leschetizky 1901-1905, 1911; Instructor, Institute of Musical Art. Instructor in Piano We have had the benefit of Miss Naimska’ s talent for some years past and appreciate the efficient work that she has done in our Musical Department. Miss Naimska is a pianist of considerable prominence in New York City, and the fa ct that we have been able to enjoy the benefit of her musical instruction has been an advantage that we have realized well. Her pupils at New Rochelle have always been a credit to her and to the College, and have shown the fineness of technique and delicacy of interpretation for which she is known as a teacher. Aside from her professional merit, Miss Naimska is a woman of highly admirable qualities, one whose sociability and kindly nature have won for her many friends at N.R.C. Miss Mozelle Bennett Instructor in Violin We shall always associate Miss Bennett with a glorious burst of music, for it was in concert that we first became acquainted with her. When she plays, it is with true inspiration, ob- livious of all but her violin and its message. Her love and enjoyment of music is complete and thorough, and as a teacher she inspires her pupils with much of her splendid spirit. New Rochelle’s admiration for Miss Bennett is not restricted merely to her musical accomplish- ment but to the charm and appeal of her personality as well. A magnetism which is both sweet and powerful. Because of these qualities and achievements, because she is the Miss Bennett whom we know so well, we feel that success and esteem will always be hers. Jgjf Twenty-eight % ANNALES w ) Music In the foregoing pages a few of the illustrious professors of New Rochelle’s Music Department have been chosen to dwell upon more fully in their service to our Alma Mater and her students, but nothing about the two pioneer spirits who for years have been at the helm of the Music Department’s ship of progress — these two are Mother M. Agnes and Sister M. Clotilde. Mother Agnes, has been so successful in raising the Music Department to the high level of efficiency which it now occupies that we are confident the future will bring the fulfillment of her ambitions for a new Hall. Those who are fortunate enough to study in the department over which Mother Agnes presides appreciate the efforts which make rare musical treats, realities. The College-at-large owes heartfelt thanks to her for the numerous concerts and recitals by those who shine in the high light of musical celebrity. Our admiration and esteem for Mother Agnes can be expressed by a hearty wish for “success” to all her plans. Sister M. Clotilde, as a member of the Faculty of the Music Department, has proven herself a teacher of remarkable under- standing of th e needs of the pupil. But her activities are not re- stricted to teaching, for as organist and director of the choir, the good work of that body is but a reflection of her own industry. Exquisite in manner, low of voice, filled with the glory of her lifework, Sister Clotilde appeals to us as singularly sincere. We are grateful and appreciative of the fact that her work lies among us. ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS OF MUSIC Ina Robinson Francis Pinto Mrs. A. K. Virgil Sister M.

Florence O’Grady, ’18 Teresa Regan, ’20 Mrs. Marian Birmingham, ’08 Olive March, ’16 Marie Rohn, T9 Winifred Demarest, T5 Loretta Hendrick, ’20, Chairman Alumnae Athletic Committee THE OFFICERS REPORT an active and successful year of Alumnae activities. A fund for the establishment of an Alumnae House in the city was started with the proceeds of a dance held on January 5th in the Mirror Room of the Plaza. Thanks to the untiring efforts of Marie Rohn, T9, the affair was a brilliant social success. A second affair designed to swell this fund was the Alumnae Theatre Party held Monday evening, April 9th, when the Alumnae and their friends saw “Mary the Third”. Mary Mather, ’21, as chairman, reports that the demand for tickets exceeded the supply, so that a very successful evening was achieved. The Saturday and Sunday of Easter Week will see the Alumnae Reunion at the College. As a social event this will probably top anything that the Alumnae has ever attempted. Virginia Waldron is re- sponsible for the idea and the arousing of enthusiasm, but it will take the co-operation of the classes to carry out this unprecedented idea. As there are many in the Alumnae who are unacquainted with each other, the whole underlying hope is that this Reunion may be a golden opportunity for bringing the girls together and by so doing strengthen the old slogan for a “B igger and Better Alumnae”. On Saturday evening of the Reunion there will be a catered dinner in the dining-room of Maura Flail. This will be followed by a costumed dance in the living-room. Each class will wear the same costume, and in the course of the evening will present a sketch or entertainment of some sort. The mass on Sunday morning will be a memorial mass for Father Halpin. Following this will be a reception for Reverend Mother in the Castle. The rest of the day will be devoted to renewing old acquaintances and Forty-six ANNALES m President Vice-President Corresponding Secretary Recording Secretary Treasurer II Hi hi Executive Committee I making new ones. Some time during the Reunion there will be a general meeting of the Alumnae, and plans will be laid for a year such as the Alumnae never had before. |8 jV £ | rut i 1 j ■ iff s. jglwM 1 ' THE ALUMNAE TEAM grew out of a casual and picaresque aggregation, the Non-parellas, of New Rochelle and nowhere in particular. The constant quantity, and the moving spirit, of this team, which played boys’ or girls’ roles indiscriminately, was Loretta Hendrick, ’20; the variables were various more or less athletic Alumnae, notably Virginia Waldron and Harriet Vlymen, ’19. When in the Fall of 1922 a gym in the city was secured through the interest and effort of Professor McAuliffe, this nucleus was developed into a regular constituted team, playing a more or less regular schedule. Still under the leadership of Loretta Hendrick, and ably coached by Miss Edna Meyer, the team met and defeated various club teams in the city, concluding the season in a blaze of glory by defeating the Smith Alumnae in a hard fought game to the tune of 17 to 13. The Alumnae Team has been, as they say, a social as well as an athletic success. The practices at P. S. 165 have been the rallying place for nearly all the active Alumnae in the city at one time or another, while the large and enthusiastic cheering section at the Smith game was a revelation of what the Alumnae team can do for Alumnae unity. THE NEW ROCHELLE CLUB was founded by the Alumnae studying at Columbia in 1922. With Mary Shaughnessy as president, and Professor de la Rochelle as founder, guide, philosopher and friend, its immediate success was assured. A Commencement Week dinner, attended by the full member- ship of thirty, was held at the Columbia Faculty Club to celebrate its inception. A dance in the summer and various pleasurable supper meetings at the Newman Club comprise the year’s activities, soon to culminate in the annual dinner. THE NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER of the Alumnae presents an enviable record of service to New Rochelle. Upon the retirement of Julia Sullivan as president, Anne McMahon, T7, took over the leadership of the Chapter and the Chairmanship of the New England Section of the drive together. A dance in Norwalk, two in New Haven, a few card parties in Hartford and Windsor Locks — and the New England Section was able to send to Mother Ignatius an amount well over their quota, in token of the loyalty of New England to Alma Mater. THE BERKSHIRE CHAPTER, founded in 1921, has a membership of 26. It is ably officered by Mary Mullahy, ’18, as president; Mary Kiernan, T9, vice-president; Mary Maloney, ’22, secretary and treasurer. Though so young, the organization has found in many social affairs a promise for a pleasant and active future.

ANNALE S The Advisory Board OFFICERS President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Ruth Barry, ’23 . Mary B. Bunce, ’23 Gertrude McKiernan, ’24 Helen Baeszler, ’25 . In October, 1909, the Faculty suggested to the Student Body the establishment of an Advisory Board. The object of the proposed organization, as stated in the Constitution, was to “represent the students in the government of the College and to further in every way the interests of the students”. The idea was taken up by the girls with great ardor. Two representatives were chosen from each of the three upper classes. These six, together with the Dean and the Associate Dean, con- stituted the membership of the new governing body. The enthusiastic student members introduced schemes for reform in every direction. Their achievements and that of their followers were; settlement of basketball team membership re- quirements; the institution of the wearing of varsity letters and class numerals as a reward for athletic prowess. With the growth of the College, the Advisory Board has been enlarged proportionately until now it consists of five Senior, three Junior, two Sophomore, and two Freshmen members. The President of the Student Body acts as chairman of the meetings. Finally, the Advisory Board established by the students has become the prime factor in the government of the students, by the students, and for the students. Fifty Sodality OFFICERS Elizabeth A.

Established in 1905, the Sodality has ever since been the center of the spiritual life in the College. By far the greater number of spiritual exercises have been instituted here and carried on through the initiative of the Sodality director, modera- tor or members. In May and in October it is the Sodality which conducts nightly devotions in honor of our Blessed Mother. During the week, Holy Mass is heard three times by the students as members of the Sodality, and a second Sodality Day is celebrated during Commencement Week, when the mem- bers in the Senior Class who have been faithful to all the required obligations of scholarship, general excellence of conduct, and attendance at Sodality exercises, receive the gold cross bearing the College seal in the center. This day is ended by a Sodality ball given in the living room to the entire Student Body. Besides these exercises, the Spiritual Director gives a conference in Chapel once a month. For two years now we have been happy in having for our director Rev. A. J. Donlon, S.J., whose enlightening talks have been a pleasure. Finally there is much more for which we have been grateful to the moderator, Sister M. Elizabeth, who has given us in all our enterprises, valuable assistance and guidance, and who has by her sincerity and charming personality won our affection and esteem.

Brady President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer Moderator Ranking among the earliest organizations of the college, growing and expand- ing with her development, Alpha Alpha is worthy of the respect and veneration we give to age. In 1908, the society was created, and the years that followed saw it thrive under the inspiration and care given it by Father Halpin. The society was conceived with the aim of fostering interest in mental philosophy. Under the guidance of the moderator, Father Halpin, it witnessed immediate success and growth. Membership was restricted to the Junior and Senior classes, as the sub- jects of discussion at the semi-monthly meetings were considered too deep and con- centrated for under-classmen. Since the death of Father Halpin the society has continued its activities under the guidance of Father Brady whose sincere and whole-hearted interest has been its greatest incentive to progress. Owing to the increase in the Student Body, membership was restricted to Seniors, and was made optional rather than compulsory. The fact that the entire Class of ’23 was initiated this fall is a strong proof of the interest of the students in philosophical thought. During this year such names as Darwin, H. G. Wells, Conan Doyle, and topics such as Evolution and Spiritism titled the papers that were read. New Rochelle has in its Alpha Alpha Society a medium for extensive philosophical research — a “round table” of intellectual adventure which it has been our pleasure to experience.

A number of debates had been given in the English classes, and such good speakers were discovered that Miss Leeming suggested the forming of a society for the purpose of developi ng the argumentative powers of the students. The organization of the society, the fine spirit of initiative that grew and made the society one of the big things on campus can be traced to Reba Kiley and Kathleen O’Connell. Their whole-hearted work, their sincere regard for a constantly advancing grade of excellence, is recalled with pleasure. The constitution of the society was drawn up with a clause for the restrictive selection of members. This restrictive elimination process applies to all classes following Twenty-Four. In September, 1921, Father Brady became the moderator of the society.

It well heads the list of this year’s achievements, for no play has been better cast or acted. Mrs. Estelle H. Davis has outdone her- self as a director in her choice of such people as Mary Demarest for the part of the vacillating Macbeth, and Marcelina Connelly for the difficult role of Lady Macbeth. Banquo was splendidly done by Josephine Schlachter; Macduff, who stirs, thrills, and moves us to tears, was done to perfection by Alleys Dwyer. The cast is a long and splendid one. Props and Paint may properly be proud of a society capable of producing such thoroughly creditable results.

Here is a society, boasting the title of the most illustrious and distingue in the College, which she has built up and directed so effectively and successfully.

Rhea Schrier, ’24 Celeste Harrison ’25 . President Treasurer Secretary The Glee Club had its beginnings in a choral class which was already in exist- ence when the college opened. The choral class was attended by students of the High School and a nucleus of college students. About 1907, the Glee Club as such came into existence. With the growth of the college, the club expanded. Professor William Mulligan, a composer and musician of note, was the first instructor. Later, Professor McGuirk, a well-known Brooklyn musician, became the director of the club. Professor McGuirk did much for the Glee Club, bringing it to a high grade of perfection. After his death, the president of the club became the director. The moderators held the position later as is the custom now. The aim of the Glee Club is to furnish entertainment for the college students. Its work is confined to glees, choruses and comic opera. The club not only gives entertainments but also brings in outside talent. We have been delightfully entertained by the New York Uni- versity Club, the Columbia Club, and several others.

During our four years’ career at New Rochelle, Professor Harry Six has been director of the Instrumental Club, and the successful concerts given by that organization are a proof of his unquestionable skill as a coach. This year the club numbered thirty-five members; artists of the mandolin, guitar and ukelele, who met weekly. These meetings were really spent in prepara- tion for the big annual concert, which as usual was one of the nicest features of the spring entertainments. The numbers this year were very carefully selected and were exceptionally varied. As artists of both the classical and the jazz, the members are to be praised for their splendid performance. We as a College are very proud of the Instrumental Club, and feel sure that with such a worthy past, the members will carry it on to a still more splendid future.

With the rapid expansion of our Music Department the need was felt for some sort of organization among the students. An organization that would serve as a support to the department and a means of co-ordinating the interests of the music students. Accordingly, this fall the club was organized and officers elected. At the month- ly meetings an entertainment was usually given by some outside artist. The most active branch of the club is the Choral Society, which produced Gilbert and Sullivan ' s “Pinafore this April under the direction of Miss Veronica Govers. The venture was rather a brave one for such a young society, but the success that it encountered proved that sometimes it is a wise thing for a fledgling to try its wings. With such a beginning, and the way cleared of the pioneer ' s difficulties, the organization has every reason to look forward to the succeeding years with the greatest of optimism and confidence. M The Reapers OFFICERS Mary Shea, ’23 . Kathleen O’Connel, ’24 Mary Meagher, j 26 . Helen Kolbe, 5 2S President V ice-President T reasurer Secretary The Catholic Students Foreign Mission League was begun by the Right Rever- end John J. Dunn, D.D. This movement aimed at a stirring up of interest in the missions among the students both of the Catholic colleges and the parochial schools of Greater New York. Bishop Dunn started the Mission Club in NewRochelle, and gave it the name of the “Reapers”. It works in conjunction with the Catholic Students Mission League. In this league, the Juniors and Seniors of the seven Catholic colleges of Greater New York are the active members. Semi-annually they are asked to visit the schools of the archdiocese and to talk to the children about the Missions. An especially attractively designed poster is tacked up in each classroom so as to be a constant reminder to the children. Miss Anne Donlon, T3, designed the very beautiful po ster used this year. The College of New Rochelle has always worked with great vigor in this line. Bishop Dunn himself pronounced us 100% efficient. This year the Mission Club has been more prominent than ever. Its work has been greatly facilitated by the appointment of councillors for each cottage and corridor of the Halls. These coun- cilors have undertaken the work of supervising the making of altar linens for the Missions, the filling of mite boxes, and the caring for the spiritual offerings. Early in tfye year, Father Charles F. Connor, a Jesuit missionary just returned from the Philippines, gave a very striking talk on the Foreign Missions. Father Connor was just, bubbling over with enthusiasm, some of which could not help communicating itself to his hearers. He pictured very vividly the life of the mission- ary and made an ardent plea for us to remember the human side of the missionary. He left us all feeling that we could not do enough to help along this great cause. Father Shea still furthered this feeling by soon afterwards giving a short talk to the Seniors and Juniors. Thus filled with great missionary spirit we began the year. We bought linens and started with vigor the making of altar cloths for needy missions. Mite boxes were placed in the cottages and the corridors; the Mission Prayer was made a part of the morning offering at Mass, and then we found the addresses of lonely missioners and wrote to them, asking them in what way we could help them most. The club has done work for the Chaldean Relief and has forwarded money to aid the starving people of the Balkans. It has sent fifty-nine dollars to Bishop Biermans, Uganda, Africa, and a number of altar linens to Bishop Berlioz of Japan.

Its primary aim and purpose is the affording of publicity for the College and the editing of the Jailer . In 1921 and 1922 it was hard, uphill work, but those staunch pioneer members of the club built a strong foundation for the erection of a grand and permanent institution. Only those students who are interested in the work and who are willing to sacrifice and work for the club are admitted and, con- sequently, the membership is limited. This year the Jailer was put into the hands of the Junior Class. Hereafter there is to be a Senior Adviser, a Junior Editor-in-Chief, and a staff consisting of representatives from each of the classes. The members of the club have worked hard this year and have done much to advance the standard of the association.

President Vice-President Secretary T reasxirer Although Athletics have been one of the leading factors of campus life, this year they have appeared in the limelight with even more of a determining im- portance. Under the leadership of Abigail Meagher, and the direction of Miss Meyer, the Athletic Association has become a broad, active organization and its various fields have been pursued on a scientific basis. Basketball being the most popular sport on campus, work was begun early in the fall. A new system for selecting teams was installed in the lower classes and it has proven more than successful. At the beginning of the year several teams were formed, and from these the team which is to represent the class in the Meet is chosen. The season opened early with a game between the Alumnae and the Varsity. This was followed by the Junior-Sophomore; the Senior-Sophomore; the Junior- Freshman; and the Senior-Freshman games. Then came the Meet between the Sophomores and the Freshmen. In the annals of C. N. R. this event has always been the most prominent for its exhibitions of pep, enthusiasm, and class spirit. This year excitement and thrills were very much in the foreground. In the morning came the Track Meet, and the Sophs, famous for their runners, took four out of the six honors. However, for the rest of the day victory laid the laurel wreath upon the astonished brows of the Freshmen in their winning the basketball game with the score of 33-21. The Tennis season, busy during the fall, opened early in the spring with a series of tournaments. These attracted widespread interest, and many skilled pl ayers were discovered and soon acquired fame. New Rochelle gym classes have always been a great source of pride, but under the direction of Miss Meyer they have become famous. They have reached the perfection mark not only in floor and apparatus work but also in aesthetic dancing. Seventy-two ANNALE: Alumnae Basketball Squad lain, Loretta Hendrick.

Eighty uLi, GkJ C3zJ- Li v. jg ANNALES Freshman Class History Memories “Homesick, just homesick” — would that victrola never run down! Oh, why didn’t they play something else? We hated to have our innocent feelings screeched out in that ungodly manner. Somebody changed the record — “Journey’s End”. How appropriate! We were indeed at our “journey’s end” — at the end of the world it seemed — and had we left our happy homes for this? Who of ’26 will ever forget that first morning in the gym? When we made out our programs, we arranged them so as to be in half a dozen places at the same hour. By afternoon we gave up and went to explore New Rochelle. We were so green and didn’t even know where to get fudge cake. That night was the Junior party, and each of us fell in love with our “big sisters”. Then the Sophomores’ party — we decided that the “Evens” weren’t the only ones at New Rochelle after all. Then came the Senior Tea, when with quaking hearts and gloved hands we passed down that long, long line of charming Seniors. Gradually we began to lose that questioning look — that “who’s she” stare, and didn’t we have the most violent cases? Don’t you remember how the spirit of the place took hold of you? Sometimes, didn’t you look at the Castle’s ivy-covered walls and just feel glad that you were here? Then came Investiture! Will you ever forget that mass of blac k-clad figures? And then we, too, were robed in black and made to fit in the picture, ’26 was ready to help uphold the honor of New Rochelle. Then, remember our adoption? We so wanted to be worthy of our “big sisters”. Christmas Vacation! The party was wonderful, but we were so anxious to get home. Remember the impressions you gave your family of College life? Then we returned and the “mid-years” loomed ahead. We walked into the gym about as happily as if we were going before a judgment seat, and we emerged with beaming countenances or else looking like flags at half-mast, wondering “points, points, did I get the points?” To heal the sorrows of the exams came the wonderful Junior Prom. Finally, the “Meet”— the climax of the year — the clash of the “Odds” and “Evens”. Everywhere on campus the Purple and White vied with our Black and Orange. 1 he game — the cheers — -the thrills- — the suffocating excitement of it all — then the final basket, and the game was ours! The Sophomores had played in the wrong “key”, but 25 showed what good sports they were by the way they lost. Then spring came, galoshes disappeared from the cloak-room, everything blossomed with promise of June and the finals! But with vacation ahead, even they weren’t hopeless. Trunks were opened, party favors, pictures and banners were tucked in, then our caps and gowns, not to do service again till next year when we would wear the tassel around the corner — image! — and be real Sophomores. These are some of the things we can say about our Freshman year. If only we could tell what we feel, but to do so is impossible. Let the story be told by the chime of the Chapel bell — the wind in the trees — they tell these things. Someone has started the victrola again, “Home Again Blues”. Isn’t it a grand and glorious song? We are going home! Home for three happy months, but to return in September, without reluctance, to the “College we love well”. Eighty-four M Mmm if .r 4 4 Sophomore Class History We descended upon New Rochelle in a whirlwind of bags and hatboxes. We exchanged greetings and confidences simultaneously. We inspected our rooms. We explored Merici, the new residence-hall. We discovered that our trunk-keys were safely locked in our trunks. We accepted the two pages of printed information concerning registration which were presented to us by Mother Xavier, glanced at them and promptly forgot them. We remarked that the Freshmen seemed very young. We were impressed with the dignity of our new position, and maintained it with decorum. We were, in short, Sophomores. On the second day of our arrival we gave a few moments of attention to our schedules and decided not to take any late classes. And we had chocolate ice-cream for dinner! The Freshmen were impressed, and being Sophomores, we smiled. On Wednesday we welcomed ’26 to New Rochelle, with a party. November 8th we turned out for the Junior-Sophomore game. The spirit at a Meet-game was never more intense than the spirit shown that night. We were IB ANNALES Eighty-seven ■ ■ ' Ihwllifi as sorry to lose by that one elusive little point as we had been the preceding s P r i n g hut were prouder of our team than ever, for their brave and determined fight. The two weeks before Christmas were busy ones for us. We worked hard to make the Bazaar a success, and charged prodigiously so that it would be. Wednes- day we gave the Seniors a party and that Thursday night we danced with light hearts at the Christmas party. When we returned from vacation it was in the spirit of Le Gallienne’s poem, for there was “a woe on us, a great woe, for little fame”. Let us pass over Mid- Years without comment. They are at best a bitter-sweet occasion with the Prom following close upon them to take away what vague fears remained. We awaited March 17th and the Meet with feverish expectation, and when it came at last, and Fortune favored the Freshmen we were saddened, but our faith in ’25 and in our team remained unshaken. We spent the three days of Retreat in retirement and meditation. Bright and early of the Saturday morning it closed we departed for home for our Easter Holidays. After we returned from vacation the weeks flew by, winged hour after hour, before we realized what had happened we had to bid our sister-class a last sad farewell. Who can recall without a mist clouding one’s eyes, the Lawn Party? Gay and light of heart, these, our sisters always were, yet on that day, and that joyous yet sad week preceding, we found them quiet — a strange and subdued air permeated campus. Softly or boisterously, choosing the best method to hide our rising feeling, we bade them go from Alma Mater with a hearty “good luck” in our voice and a great, unfathomable emptiness in our hearts. Junior Class History We were warned of our return to College and the responsibilities therein, by notices informing us who our Freshmen sisters were to be. Each of us wrote to our respective sisters, and that ofF our mind, set about packing for another year at N. R. C. Despite the fact that we missed our friends from 22, dreadfully, we realized that the third quarter of our sojourn at New Rochelle was to be a happy one. We were assured of that fact when we beheld our Freshmen, a fine, promising class that soon found a place in our hearts by fulfilling all our hopes and expectations. A Welcome Party was given by us to our sisters, and before long we were well acquainted with, and good friends of, each and every member of ’26. Then our time and thoughts were taken up in the struggle with points and hours. For days we sought to untangle the mess of the schedule presented to us, and gave it up as a bad job. Soon we became interested in our studies, especially Logic, because of the newness of the subject and the way it was presented to us. We found Father Brady all that ' 22 claimed he was and even more. As for his subject — well, that was simple, but it proved most elusive at times. Time for Investiture arrived and w T e prepared for it with great vigor. Never was there a more beautiful sight than that presented in the Living Room on this evening. The Juniors lined upon either side of the room, holding a wreath strung Ninety-one mmmi with orange-colored bulbs. Slowly and solemnly the Freshmen marched in, cap and gown on their arms. Soft strains of music fell about us, and each one pledged her loyalty to Alma Mater. . . Then came the Adoption Party, an occasion on which ’2 6, after going through the legal formalities, chose New Rochelle as her Alma Mater. After that we all joined and had a regular party. Close upon this came the Christmas Party, given under the auspices of the Junior Class. On the Christmas tree were appropriate gifts and messages for each of the Seniors. The Christmas Carols, sung beneath the Living Room windows by the “Odds”, lent a touch of solemnity to the festivities. On our return after the holidays we were greeted with the exams. Horror of horrors! But, as they say, “every dark cloud has a silver lining”. Ours came in the form of a perfect Junior Week. On Wednesday we saw the delightful comedy, “Polly Preferred”, on Thursday we attended a luncheon at Delmonico’s, and as the crowning glory of a perfect week, had a perfect Prom on Friday, at the Biltmore. It was an astounding social and financial success. Soon we began to hear rumors of the Meet. Our spirits were thwarted by the announcement that the Upperclassmen were to have nothing to do with it. Still we couldn’t help but be interested in the “barn dances” and “lawn parties” in which our sisters took part. The Meet was a fine celebration for St. Patrick’s Day as well as for our Class Day. Our little sisters did much to make us proud of them Ninety-two Freshmen Year W E HAD actually arrived! Not, perhaps as we had pictured our arrival — a bright, sunshiny day conducive to lightheartedness — but as the Fates contrarity ordained it, the skies opened up upon us in a veritable deluge that lasted all that first day. Were we disheartened ? The newness of our surroundings, unpacking our cumbersome trunks, finding out “who’s who”, all took away that first feeling of loneliness until some later day when we were more prepared to bear the homesickness that was bound to crop up at the most embarrassing times. For the first few days we were busy getting acquainted with =our Sister Class, “Twenty-One”; the Sophomores, and even “Twenty”. Loo king .Tack we were the traditional type of Freshmen, for the amazing mixture §£ ;t;imid l hess, asperity, boldness, and meekness that we were not loath to evidence. So;much so that the august Seniors bade us to formal tea in the Castle reception roerps.T With trepida- tion we struggled into long gloves and presented ourselves at the front door of the Castle. How our fears melted at the jolly friendliness of “Twenty”, and before long we were chatting at a rate no speedometer could measure. Then came Investiture. One of the most beautiful ceremonies, it lives in our memories today as fresh as if it just happened. “Twenty-One” welcoming us in the songs she sang as we solemnly walked between the two rows of black-clad figures carrying the torches of red and white. From the hands of dear Father Halpin we received our caps and gowns. Later, during the party, the happiness of the occasion expressed itself in College songs that were spontaneously sung by all. Hardly had the Christmas Holidays passed than the gloom of exams cast its shadows upon us. For fourteen days the library hummed with the unwonted activity of the Freshmen drones who, casting all levity aside, plunged into work with a vengeance. Casualties there were, but not half as bad as we expected. On Valen- tine’s Day, Twenty-Two entertained Twenty-Three. It was a real Valentine Party, Ninety-five too, even to the favors and the number of “cases”, mysterious and otherwise, which developed during the evening. At the Colonial Ball the prize for the prettiest costume was awarded to a Freshman — more power to them! And to end up the round of pleasure we entertained the Juniors and Sophomores. Before Christmas, lest we forget one most important event of that Eventful Freshmen Year, the Wedding of Twenty-Three to her sister class, Twenty-One, took place. Throughout the arrangements Twenty-Three colors were used in the decoration and in the gowns of the attendants. Crimson made great splashes of color against the White as a symbol of the undying love and loyalty by which we were forever bound to Twenty-One. Before we knew it March had come and with it Meet Activities and The Meet! A whole book 4 coaW be written about this subject, for Campus in those days was a seething massif intrigue. Warily did we watch our “old tin box”, and indeed warily did they — ou£ h|ptie|, Twenty-Two. But the day itself witnessed in the morning a wild rush f©V°j?he IJ gpole that was a real thriller. Later, at 2:30 P.M., we met our Waterlo5. a ” e fjaturally, wishing we had won, still we congratulated Twenty- Two on her victory with a hearty good will, for she had won as we wish we had won, fairly and with true sportsmanship. At last the Prom came and went. Twenty-Three stepped out, officially, and by the manner of her reception we may say stepped out well. The last trace of Meet spirit disappeared when the Freshmen and Sophomores gave their formal tea. This was exclusively an Underclassmen affair, which we enjoyed with zest, and later unanimously called the prettiest event of the year. Finally, the sunny days of June came and everyone was in a flurry and a hustle over Commencement. As we sat in the crowded Gym on Commencement Day and saw the Seniors go up for their sheepskins, our own day for the same joyful yet sad occasion seemed not so far away as it did when we came. The morning after the Lawn Party saw an exodus that rivaled the Biblical story. In the joy of going home, and the sadness of leaving our Alma Mater even for a short time, we said farewell to our happy Freshmen days. Sophomore Year I T WAS the twenty-seventh of September, and the Campus, which had dreamed peacefully all during the long summer, suddenly came to life and realized that College had opened again. A taxi rolled up to Residence Hall and out stepped ’23, a gay young Sophomore. She flung her suitcase half way across the Campus, executed a dance of joy in the middle of the path, then in a manner very much in keeping with the noisy reputation of Sophomores dashed up to third corridor — destined to be the rendezvous where the 1923 hordes planned all their mischief. Thus ’23 began her Sophomore year with a whizz and a bang which never slacked down during the entire term. Of course, all her interests and energy this year were directed toward her great rival, ’24, who descended upon the College a veritable army and calmly monopolized all the Sophomore rights and privileges. Then 23 decided that something must be done. She would allow no grass to grow under her feet before showing 24 her proper place. So warlike activities began at once. The first was a raid on the Fresh- men corridor. This was the forerunner of many other raids and heated conflicts. But the wrath of the Freshmen was not aroused until two wily Sophs boldly ascended to fourth corridor, paid a friendly visit to each room and helped them- selves to every key on the corridor, right under the very eyes of the Freshmen. That started things right away. Twenty-Four introduced a novel prank this year that had never been thought of before. , 23 , s banner very mysteriously disappeared from the gymnasium and all suspicion pointed to the Freshmen as the culprits. This was considered an awful Ninety-seven insult to the Sophomores who raised such a commotion that the bannerwas returned. But that night, ' 24 was taught her lesson. The combined strength of third corridor marched up to fourth, dragged the Freshies from their peaceful slumbers and drenched them with cold water. Such a deluge has not been heard of since the time of the Ark, and it caused such furious arguments that the skill of the College Presi- dent was required to settle the matter. Then a truce was declared, and for a time peace reigned. On Valentine ' s Day, ' 23 celebrated her Class Day with a tea at Post Lodge. There was dancing and music and it proved to be very delightful. The decorations, favors, and refreshments were all in Crimson and White and in true valentine style. Since the two Underclasses were on such friendly terms, ' 23 decided to give ' 24 a party. ' 24 had chosen Green and White for her colors, and the seventeenth of March for her Class Day, so the entertainment was a real St. Patrick ' s Day affair, except that there was a jazz orchestra which aroused much pep in the dancers. The party was quite a success, especially if one considers the number of “cases which came to light during the evening. The Junior Year clue to the feelings and emotions that were ours we returned to our Alma Mater and beheld the to whom we had written as seeming unrealities. rly days — first, that we had stful desires of being Juniors; fulfillment of our hopes andspecula- ember rooted T HE long vacation gave us no as with bag and baggage Freshmen — a sturdy number Two things, indeed, became clear to us in those ea reached the goal of our Freshmen ambition and wi and secondly, that we found in our sister class a tions. The Welcome Party given them on the twenty-eighth of Sept the deep affection we were prepared to give our sisters, in the spontaneity and comradeship that followed from that first “get-together” party. Schedules, points and logic were tackled in succession and with varying success. Programmes were arranged and rearranged; points counted and recounted; logic studied and re-studied. The mention of this subject bids us to stop and pay tribute to our “friend, philosopher and guide”. Truly kind and patient; truly just and considerate is our respected professor. Logic held no terror for us under Father Brady’s guidance, and with his hand at the helm we are looking forward to many pleasant philosophical hours next year. Nothing, however, was prepared for with such zest, such whole-hearted enthusiasm, as the Freshmen Investiture. Memories of our Freshmen days, and of Ninety-nine dear, kind Father Halpin, made us strive to impress these, the latest addition to the ranks he held so dear, with the oldtime solemnity and awe the ceremony held for us. It was a beautiful scene, never to be forgotten, as ranks of novices clad in white, and carrying cap and gown, paused a moment before they traversed the long candle-lit aisle. The strains of music whispered softly through the silent assemblage, and each in her heart gave a wordless pledge of loyalty to her Alma Mater. The even tenor of our days — classes, the Vil, social hour, was pleasantly broken by the Annales Teas. The Seniors, blocked by unforeseen financial difficulties, were hard put to it to publish the year book they had planned. Therefore, with true College spirit, all the classes co-operated to help them. We gave our tea on November the fourth, giving our bit to assist the Seniors in putting out a stunning Annales. Thanksgiving vacation, with the hustle and bustle of packing, and making trains, gave a respite before the hectic days between it and Christmas. The Wed- ding of the Sister-Classes, that time honored custom of the Odds, was, indeed, a ceremony of grace and beauty. The gallantry of olden days when grandmother wore hoopskirt, and grandfather, breeches and lace, graced the affair with a hint of daintiness hardly achieved by the modern dress. “Purple and white, and powdered hair, Silver buckles and ladies fair — ” One Hundred iwii The Christmas Party followed close upon the heels of the Wedding, engineered successfully by the Juniors. The singing of Adeste Fidelis and other Christmas carols, under the Living Room windows, bade everyone pause to remember the significance of the approaching feast. After the terror of exams, the Prom, (or should we say Promenade?) took place at the Plaza. But we are getting ahead of our chronicle, for Junior Week preceded the Prom. First there was the Theater Party on Wednesday at the Cort; the amus- ing and thrilling “Captain Applejack”; the luncheon at the Biltmore on Thursday; and on Friday evening, the dance of paramount importance, a perfect ending of a perfect week. It was not only perfect in appointment and execution but a financial as well as a social success. Late classes prevented our celebrating St. Valentine’s Day — our Class Day — but in the evening the Freshmen, now perfectly acclimated, gave us the biggest party of the year. True enough, corsages were not in evidence till after the party, but the gaiety and fun of the evening did not suffer on that account. Dame Rumor had it that the Meet would be thrilling. We dare say, however, that Dame Rumor herself was surprised at her own prophecy. Thrilling? Exciting? As much as we desired our sisters to top the score, the superb sportsmanship, the dash and spirit displayed, the marked ability of the players and the close score, One Hundred One were sufficient in themselves to warrant calling the Meet remarkable. It was gratifying to see our little sisters so staunch in the fray, so enthusiastic, and so game. Hurrah for ' 25! Hurrah, we say! We’re proud of you! This year, Junior Dramatics were unique in presenting three short plays of a type distinct from anything hitherto produced by ’23. The unqualified success of the performers was due considerably to the ability of the student coaches. The plays themselves, moreover, gave an unusual opportunity for real dramatic execu- tion, which the players recognized and acted out accordingly. The talent that the plays brought forth promises well for next year’s Mid-Year Play. Sufficient ability, it is hoped, will be found to put on an unusual performance. The excitement of the Meet gradually subsided. Spring with its enchanting loveliness gave us warning that the jolly days of Junior Year were fast drawing to a close. The party to the Seniors came and went. There was a touch of sadness in the air; we had passed so many pleasant days with these, our “friendly enemies”. On a fair, moonlit night, the true significance of parting came home to us. The songs of farewell echoed back from the gray walls in the hauntin g strains of “Good- bye”. We did not understand it; we only knew that we must travel the same road; the same road that leads into the glamor of Tomorrow, and keeps us wondering One Hundred Two Senior Year “So, the year’s done with! All March begun with, April endeavor; May wreaths that bound us, June needs must sever! — Browning I T WASN’T that our tassels were turned or that upon returning last fall we looked upon the campus with an unwonted gladness or that the incoming Freshmen seemed so different, that we sensed the change in us. It revealed itself in the slight quickening of our pulse at “Oh, she’s a Senior”; the naturalness of seeing the Senior Stairs being taken possession of by all except ourselves. We came directly face to face with it, this indefinable feeling, when we were earnestly exhorted to give good example to “the younger element”; when anxiously and with knitted brows we counted up points “lost, strayed or stolen”. But that is not all, for that vague qualification, “dignity”, enveloped us as a cloak. Indeed, we were ourselves surprised at the facility with which we orientated to our new position. Early in the fall, Ye Yeare Booke Grinds rustled their papers and took their pens to hands. Wild and terrible at times were the orgies of ink-slinging, and inwardly we thanked the Fates for having spared us so frightful an experience as being a member of that benighted staff. With Christmas vacation in sight, speculation ran rife as to the kind of “slams” to be unmercifully dealt out at the Christmas Party. That affair, marking as it did another step toward our denouement as students, is to be noted for the jolly good-fellowship that reigned. During the party, the Odds, as is our custom, sang the joyful carols of Christmas beneath the Living Room windows. As the familiar melodies rose in the crystal clear night, our thoughts could not help but dwell with sadness on the thought that this was our last Christmas Party; we could not help but feel how definitely it presaged June with its tearful “Good-byes”. One Hundred Three I he joys or vacation were cut short immediately upon our return by the grim ogre of exams that loomed bigger and bigger on our horizon. With characteristic vigor we attacked each one in time until all melted under the fire of our approach. Rejoicing took the form of the Prom at which we danced with the gleeful abandon of a child free from all care. With a sigh we settled down to the daily routine, of which the Meet was a joyful interruption. Although the beautiful custom of decorat- ing the Senior Stairs, and costuming, had been done away with, still we made up for outward display in the wholehearted backing we gave and will always give our Sister Class, Nineteen Twenty-Five. So fine a game as was fought on the court in the Gym we have no hopes of ever seeing again. Although the laurels were not placed upon the brow of Twenty-Five, there rests upon it a wreath of bravery, courage, and spirit that all must acclaim. After Easter we began to think of graduation clothes, observation, student teaching, the annoying absentee — Spring; the vicissitudes of Chemistry; Spanish compositions, the Philosophy Essay; the English Essay, etc. In other words, it was a hectic time in which June figured most prominently. Indeed, we never real- ized that graduating was such an awful bother. A pleasanter bother one could not find, but as a herald of parting from this dear old campus, it sounded a more solemn nqte. Spring came at last! The pretty clothes of sunshiny warm weather again appeared and then it was almost time to go. At every turn we were reminded that we must go and new faces take our places. Came the Junior Farewell, and our Sister Class feted us with music and dance. And, of a sudden, June was upon us. The songs that floated up to us on a certain moonlit night said farewell, and al- though the immediate was with us, we knew that finally there was no farewell to Alma Mater, for no matter how far away we will be in time, we will always be of New Rochelle, one with our Alma Mater, and being that, we are always here among you in thought.

Olga is very clever, and although she started college a term later than the rest of us, she has managed by particular diligence and outside study to make up for her lateness. But, besides making up for the lost term, her work in all her classes has been exceptionally good. However, Olga is by no means a grind. She believes “All work and no play will make Olga a dull girl”, so she freely mixes pleasure with her studies. Through- One Hundred Eleven FLORENCE I. BAESZLER, B.A. Staten Island, N. Y.

She has an enviable, gracious, affable manner; a smile both mischievous and winning that constantly plays about her lips. Perhaps it is her special aptitude as a linguist which reflects in her soft manner of speaking, for, from the old-world languages she seems to have caught some of their glamor and smoothness. In Florence there is a buoyancy, a lightness, a love of fun, that make her company always welcome. Because of her enthusiasm and love of the adventurous, one always found her not only a willing but an active conspirator in any under- classman prank or intrigue . Florence has the knack of conversation, the kind that literally makes the air hum with clever witticisms. Her frankness in discussion, her evaluation of abstract qualities, her delving into the unknown and unusual is a delight. Though her love for art and literature is paramount, still there is Athletics, where she has given an invaluable service, willingly and without complaint. To sum up, Florence has a rich personality — a combination of the practical, the aesthetic, and the artistic that is delightful One Hundred Twelve RUTH BARRY Waterbury, Conn.

An every-day philosopher of clear, steel-cut thinking, Ruth is the idealistic object of our afFections. Apparently quiet, the hidden spring of an insuppressible vivacity constantly crops up to dazzle us in a very native “joshing”, a fascinating smile, a friendly, alluring manner. So much so, in fact, that we find ourselves unconsciously bound to her in an eternal devotion. Ruth is of sterling worth. She is as sound and wholesome as the proverbial oak to whom we look in times of trouble, of whom we seek aid at all times. To the College at Large, ’23 gave her best in giving Ruth Barry as First President of the Student Body. We are proud of her; proud of her personal success, proud of the dignified precedent she established; proud above all, that she is our classmate. In all things we have found her the just, as well as able, executive, always the girl of deep sympathies, of a sense of humor and pathos that has kept her among us, a sincere, witty classmate, a true-blue friend.

Sally does not seem to belong to either of these classifications but is a harmonious blend of the two. Her love for dancing and for the theater shows the enthusiasm and pep that she possesses, which is one of youth’s greatest charms. The quiet, serious Sally exists, too, for her love of books is well known, as is also her capacity as an instructress of Mid- year study clubs. Sally has a very keen, logical mind, and a memory that is both quick and retentive. Being of a very accommodating disposition she shares freely the benefits of her knowledge with many of her struggling classmates by taking into her hands the pedagogical reins. Sally is also artistically inclined, for her skill in the art of mandolin playing is one of the assets of the Instrumental Club, as well as one of the greatest sources of entertainment on campus. Sally is an all-round girl, one who believes in and practices good sportsmanship and who throws herself into class activities zealously and without counting the cost. Her friends are many and all wish for her all the success that should be hers. One Hundred Fourteen BARBARA KONVALINKA BENNETT, B.A. Brooklyn, N. Y. Merici School, New Rochelle, N. Y.

She is unanimously liked by her classmates, perhaps because she is such a wholesome, sane, cheery girl, whose optimism is a vital part of her philosophy of life. Who ever saw Barbara in a fretful, impatient mood ! Her calm, even disposition and serenity of temper are so comforting that we would suggest her companionship as a sure antidote for dis- content and pessimism. She might well be called “a friend indeed”, because no matter what’s wanted, be it medicine, food, or a helping hand at anything, “Bob” is the girl to go to. Reliability is perhaps her predominant characteristic. No matter what under- taking is entrusted to her, she invariably sees it through. “Bob” is by no means quiet and demure. Her giggle is the most infectious in the classroom and can hardly be dissociated from her, so easily is it provoked. She has even been known to indulge in these mirthful transgressions in such classes of decorum as Philosophy. This ability to visualize a ludicrous situation and all its possibilities has been the cause of many a good laugh, to herself and intimates. Always the same, fair and im- partial to all, ever observing the golden rule of Christian charity, we all love Barbara and wish for her the best that life can offer.

We’re all used to having a fine big car stop beside us when we’re plodding to the “ville” and hearing Eleanor’s cheerful voice inviting us for a ride, for she never passes her friends (or profs) without giving them a lift. While Eleanor is kept busy with her Spanish and Stenog, and although she keeps her studies right up to the mark, she manages to find time for almost every outdoor sport. She has her favorite horse with which she explores the wilds of Harrison and Rye. She skees, ice skates, plays tennis and golf around the Rye Country Club, and she thrills and shocks her friends with her fancy dives and funny tricks in the swimming pool. Though most active in athletics, Eleanor does not neglect her social duties. Hardly a week passes without a dance, a party or a masquerade. It is probably because of these divertisements that Eleanor has acquired the thoroughly easy and dignified manner which she displays on all occasions. She is never ruffled and at all times is able to retain her poise. Eleanor has a large circle of friends because she is such a good sport and is ever ready to dive into the pond of fun and swim for it. Altogether she is a fine pal. One Hundred Sixteen MARY B.

She has uncommon executive ability, the knack of peaceful penetration, and the overcoming of objection by diplomacy. “Bunny” is wholesome and has a steadfast, practical piety we all admire. Her circle of friends is not limited to her classmates but is College-wide. By correlation of ideas “Bunny” makes us think of Easter — and Easter in terms of joy and happiness. To use her own favorite word, “Bunny” is “jolly”- as is witnessed by that rollicking, contagious laugh which is all-powerful even in an argument where it tumbles into dust our last defense and leaves us smiling in agreement. To “Bunny”, as Senior President, we owe much of the happiness and success of our last year together. “Bunny” is a good student but by no stretch of imagination could she be called a grind. She has the ability not only of putting her knowledge on paper but also of “getting it across” to others the night before an exam which presages her success as a teacher. Her handshake is indicative of her character — it makes one cheered, friendly, and glad to be alive just as “Bunny” herself does. One Hundred Seventeen REGINA RYALL BURNS, B.A. Monticello, N. Y.

Yet, she is extremely modern in her love for a bargain, her creative ability in artistic lines, and her knack of never appearing busy yet accomplishing much. “Jean” does not like display, particularly concerning herself. An incisive ob- server, she has a deftness of expression which phrases a situation in an unforgetable manner. Always thoughtful of others and careful in speech, “Jean” puts all who are with her at ease by her gentle voice and winning manner. She has an intense love for music and a wealth of appreciation for the beautiful in literature and art. She is a magazine and book-“hound” of distinction, and furnishes half the College with reading material. For “Jean,” sleep and exams do not come in the same two weeks. In all things “Jean” is thorough. Yes, “Jean” is slow, but some way or other she always reaches her destination on time, looking just a trifle fresher and daintier than those who hurried more. “Jean’s” “stick-to-it-iveness” is proverbial. Not only does she consistently carry a set task through to the end, but her loy- alty to her friends is as steadfast and unshakable as the Rock of Ages. One Hundred Eighteen MARY M. CAMPBELL, B.S. Toledo, Ohio Ursuline Academy Alpha Alpha; The Reapers ; Photographic Chairman Annales; Tennis Club (5, 4); Basketball (7, 2, 3, 4); Baseball (7, 2); Glee Club ( 1 ) M ARY ' S straight, athletic bearing bespeaks a determination and strength of character. This we know to be true — it has been said that she is determined even to the point of stubbornness. The latter we know has proved itself a great asset in her work as Photographic Editor of Annales. Mary looks to the big things in life. She hates meanness and pettiness and in all things holds to the rules of good sportsmanship. Yet she is ever tolerant of weakness or inability. Her interests are many and varied. She is well read and can always discuss the latest book or play from a literary or artistic point of view. Anything in the line of activities appeals to Mary — she is a splendid athlete, and as a basketball player was invaluable to the team. An intense loyalty to her class has won admiration and respect for her. She would work untiringly for anything that would reflect credit on ' 23. As a clever conversationalist, Mary excels. She has that rare gift of being a good listener and an interesting talker. Mary ' s sense of humor is one of her best attributes. Her ready laugh is always the first to peal forth in appreciation of a good story. Mary ' s insight into a person ' s character is remarkable. Coupled with that she has a keen intellect that we feel will win many laurels for her in the future. One Hundred Nineteen MILLIE E. CAESARIO, B.A Port Chester, N. Y. Port Chester High School. H ERE ' S the girl who ' s so proud of Port Chester. And when Millie is proud of anything she champions her cause against all odds. She is true right through and has good reasons behind everything she says. Millie has a fine mentality and can puzzle out the most difficult problems in calculus or analytics. She loves Philosophy because it requires such close thinking. She also has a vast amount of affection which she freely lavishes on those she admires and loves. Although she can be very serious, she has another side. She thoroughly appre- ciates a good joke and is always ready to give you “success on ones that most merely smile at. Very early in the morning when most people are barely awake, Millie is enjoying her morning joke. Another one of Millie ' s fine traits is her ability to keep a secret. If you want to confide in anyone, or if you want sympathy, she is always ready to say or do the right thing at the right time. The most complete analysis of Millie is to say that she is a valuable friend. ELIZABETH H. CAREY, B.A. Saranac Lake, N. Y. Saranac Lake High School. Cornell University, 1919-20 Alpha Alpha; The Reapers I T was not until Sophomore year that Betty came to us from Cornell and since that time shehas been one of ’23’s staunch exponents. We have always considered ourselves fortunate in having Betty in our midst for she is such a happy mixture of all that is capable, conscientious, and cheerful. Betty is a truly feminine person with a soft voice and an appealing way; one who believes “ ’tis better to let others talk, and listen while they say, instead, the foolish things we might have said”. And now let us tell you of Betty the honor student. Truly, Betty has a way of accomplishing things without any fuss; of crowning her efforts with success by passing all her examinations with flying colors. Besides, Betty is — as an ardent admirer says — a “magnet”. Is there ever a day when she hasn’t a bid to tea or the movies? Is there ever a night when she isn’t plagued for dances? Is there ever a week-end when Betty isn’t dated up? No, because everyone just naturally loves Betty. Moreover, this “giggling girl” never bears the troubles of others for them but inspires them with courage and energy to bear their burdens for themselves and meet the difficulties of life bravely. For these and various other reasons, Betty has carved out a place in our hearts that no one but Betty could fill. One H under d Twenty-one ANNE CARRIG, B.A. New Haven, Conn. New Haven High School Alpha Alpha; The Reapers ; President Instrumental Clubs (4); Mandolin Club (5, 4); Orchestra (4) W ITH Anne we associate a charming, universal smile, a furious blush, an amazing bashfulness, and an altogether lovable disposition. Anne is an authority on all college news; the refreshing way in which she relates her tales adds much to our enjoyment of them. Her manner is very straight- forward and her opinion of things and people is to the point. If asked for her opinion, she gives it with an admirable directness. Anne has a sense of humor which keeps her always on the sunny side of life. Her laugh, which perhaps has caught its musical tones from her delightful execution of works of the great masters, is very contagious and does much to bring others to her cheerful frame of mind. We are apt to think of Anne coming from class, hat in hand, ready to make an immediate departure for the village. But there are days when she stays in her room to do one or more of the numerous readings required by “19th Century”, “Novel”, or “American Lit”, and by dint of sheer strength of will she keeps at it until the work is accomplished. She is not selfish in her play, either, and is loyal to ideals although she hates the least suspicion of sentimentality. Anne herself adequately expresses the fundamental keynote to her character in her invariable closing, signing to her letters, “Sincerely yours”.

Gifted with the amusing art of caricature and mimicry, she has since Freshman year elicited peals of laughter from throngs of merrymakers, of whom she was always the acclaimed center. “Marcy” and her “Uke” have long been an institution on campus, for added to her other accomplishments is a natural sense of rhythm which finds expression in the very enlivening strains of jazz. Her gifted fingers are seldom idle, for she spends much of her leisure time sketching and drawing, with results that are unusually clever and original. Vivacious and amusing, “Marcy” has in addition a dramatic poise, a depth and wealth of expression that have made her acting memorable to us. Her dramatic skill reached great heights in the role of Lady Macbeth, revealing the rich and deeper lights in her colorful nature. “Marcy’ s” versatility is so extraordinary that we can only guess at the path of her future endeavor. Twenty-three awaits with genuine interest the disclosure of the destiny of this gifted member of her ranks. One Hundred Twenty-three MAE CONROY Norwich, N. Y.

Upon first meeting, Mae seems very quiet indeed. Immediately, however, one realizes that her eyes speak a language no tongue could ever utter. They are the eyes of a Madonna and are the windows to a soul as beautiful. Her profile is that of a pure, delicate pink cameo. Mae is always beautifully dressed and impresses one as does a beautiful pic- ture in an artistic frame. In the company of her intimate friends, Mae is by no means quiet, for then her tongue and eyes are never still. She loves excitement and is never so attractive as when a dashing vivaciousness enlivens her manner. She is a clear thinker and has the ability to concentrate to such a marked degree that she hears and sees nothing when “cramming” for an exam. Besides, Mae is unselfish and always thoughtful of the rights of others. About her there is an air of frailty which only serves to enhance her beauty. Mae has many loyalties, but the greatest is to her home, her family, and last but not least, her friends. One Hundred Twenty-four ELIZABETH COSTELLO, B.S Corinth, N. Y.

Which can say more than this rich praise — that you alone are you?” Helen is one whom many admire and all love, for she possesses an inherently genial nature. Upon first meeting, we are attracted by her winning smile, her “bub- bling” manner, and the world of mischief in her blue eyes. But it is after association that we come to know the real Helen, the one to whom we go in trouble, knowing that our confidences will never be betrayed. These two Helens we see again through her music. The Helen who plays jazz for us, night after night in the living-room, is the girl who is ever ready to sally forth to a party — to dash off for a week-end in the city, and who returns to us on Monday morning with enthusiastic tales of theaters, dances and teas. Then there is the Helen of concertos and sonatas — where by her delicacy of touch, mechanical dexterity, and splendid clearness of phrasing we see that she is capable of truly great things. Sincerity, determination, and sacrifice. These are the things with which she has builded. She has done well. One Hundred Twenty-seven AMELIA CURRIE, B.A. Hibbing, Minn. Lincoln High School. Hibbing Junior College Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Props and Paint (4); Treasurer Musical Association (4); Choir (3, 4); Instrumental Club ( 3 , 4); Glee Club ( 3 , 4) AMELIA joined the ranks of 23 in Junior year, when we had just reached jLjl the half-way mark in our intellectual pilgrimage. Like Young Lochinvar she came “out of the West” from the rich and sunny prairie-lands of Minnesota, and she brought with her much of the zest and sunniness of her golden country. Last year we knew her as a graceful, well-poised girl, but a certain native reserve de- prived us of more than a superficial acquaintance with her. We knew that she possessed the gift of a lovely voice, for despite her attempted concealment, her voice revealed itself and was accordingly in demand by entertainment committees thereafter. We knew that she was always courteous and considerate of others, for when- ever there was a call for volunteers in any class task, Amelia was among the first to offer her services. This year we have seen her in more varied lights which revealed many unsuspected qualities to us. A delightful sense of humor is hers and a dauntless optimism that not even the dark clouds of examinations can diminish. A devoted athlete, Amelia loves the outdoors with a whole-heartedness that we associate with her frank and sincere nature. One Hundred Twenty-eight CATHERINE THERESA DALEY, B.A. Tuckahoe, N. Y.

But when those same books have been closed, Catherine heaves a sigh which separates her entirely from all her troubles and makes her the jolly good pal we all know. Catherine can be full of pep and entertain us with her songs and jokes. She has the gift of playing the popular songs on the piano in such a way that you can ' t keep your feet still, and she can jig with as much ability and agility as any Dublin lassie. Catherine is very loyal to her family. Although she usually has her own opinions on everything that’s going on she ' s always willing to listen to and take the advice of her big brothers. Catherine has high ideals and if anyone dares attack one of her established principles, whether religious or moral, she shows her character on its determined and thoughtful side. Because of this fine mixture of good humor, loyalty, and seriousness, Catherine is one of the most interesting and pleasant characters in ' 23. One Hundred Twenty-nine ALICE KATHRYN DALTON, B.S. POULTNEY, Vt. Troy Conference Academy Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Glee Club ( 1 , 2) T HE Kathryn of Freshman year was quite different from the “K.D.” of today. The four years of college life have broadened and deepened her character, giving her a wider vision and a finer insight into human nature. Concentration on the secretarial course exclusively has never been her forte. The dynamic energy which constitutes an integral part of Kathryn, finds an outlet in more pleasant activities than close application to studies. She is an ever-faithful patron of Loew’s and an inveterate reader of current fiction. When among her more intimate friends she is decidedly humorous. She has a surprising amount of drollery and an endless supply of witticisms. She makes facetious remarks and tells comic stories in such a way as to provoke peals of laughter from even the most serious, while she herself never even so much as smiles. Kathryn keeps herself well informed in regard to everything that happens on campus. She is generally an authority on all the latest news (“dirt”). Perhaps this is due to that keen power of observation which enables her to describe accurately and in detail “such-a-one’s” new hat, or minutely “so-and-so’s” new dress, or the men in the living room. Essentially, Kathryn is a convivial character, who considers pleasure of prime importance. One Hundred Thirty ANN ?=vr a -A 6 A v ' x 8 « %A W HELEN L. DONAHUE, B.S. Ogdensburg, N. Y.

ELIZABETH’S loss was our gain, for when Helen joined us in Sophomore year, a most dependable member was added to our ranks. It was hard for us to know the real Helen. We found her a girl of many moods. Even now after three years of close association we sometimes wonder if we know the real Helen. Her mind is clear and direct in thought and possesses the ability of grasping any subject with very little application. Her appearance is always charming, her clothes reflecting the exquisite taste for which she is justly noted. Almost any day, going up the Senior Stairs, you will be greeted with gales of laughter from Room 9. That most probably is Helen, giving a “reading” in her own inimitable Ogdensburg drawl, with pointed comments and pungent explana- tions. This is the Helen whom we feel we know best. It is she with whom we always exchange the latest jokes and “the best yet”; to whom the tragedy of B.S. life is but a comedy-drama. Though cordial to many she reserves her affection for a chosen few. These privileged ones fully realize that below her apparently cool exterior is a depth of loyalty, dependability, and perfect sincerity.

And though she still possesses these qualities she has made for herself a very secure place in the Class of 23. We know that, as Advisory Board member and Sodality President, she is capable, conscientious and dependable. We also know from frequent corsages and certain trips to the movies and Tea Room, that she possesses a certain irresistible charm. As the best of companions on a trip to the city, a hike, or merely a chat after “taps”, she displays a boundless source of humor, a quick sympathy and an idealism seldom found in this most modern age. Though extremely agreeable and obliging, Betty resents quickly an imposition or unkindness. Her mind once made up is never changed except for the best of reasons. It has been said of her “She is one of the girls I can imagine a teacher”. This seems true, for certainly she has taught by her example that a girl can do all her work faithfully, yet get out of College all the fun and good times it offers.

The axiom that associates red hair with a fiery temper has again been repudiated in Mae. Nothing ever seems to ripple the smoothness of her day, not even classes. Yet, at the eleventh hour, Mae accomplishes so much, creditably, that we are continually being astonished. Mae is easygoing in everything except when on the tennis court. There, her alert and energetic playing, her clever back-hand drive, and her agility, have won her considerable fame. Again, Mae is loyal, with the loyalty of a consuming flame. Not only has she labored for her class, but her singular conception of honor has led her to do and dare all for the glory of 23. Having faith in herself and her convictions, Mae is not slow to voice and uphold them. Yet, when cognizant of error, she is quick to correct her opinions both willingly and gracefully. Cheerful and optimistic, Mae has proven herself. Not only being interested, but always being interesting.

Hers is an internal rather than an external reticence, which prevents most people from ever know- ing the trend of her sentiments and opinions. Even those who have known her the most intimately, feel that there are certain phases of Muriel’s nature that have been unfathomed by them, certain depths that have been unsounded. In spite of this, Muriel is not at all mysterious as one might be led to believe, but is a typical Amer- ican girl with a generous share of vivacity and light heartedness, and more than her share of charm. Slender and girlish in appearance she has the added attraction of a winning manner which has conquered many hearts upon first encounter. Not alone is the charm of Muriel’s personality responsible for her many steadfast friends, for, realizing her fine and worth-while qualities of character, we cannot fail to love and appreciate her. She is of intellectual bent without ever forcing the fact upon one. Frequently some lovely bits of poetry appear in the Quarterly , the result of her pen, and we then have a fleeting glimpse of the idealistic, contemplative Muriel who otherwise evades us.

When she is coaxing you to put aside your musty old books and dissipate in a movie, you have to resort to all the power of your will to resist the pleading of her dimples, for they are very insistent and will disarm you if you are not on your guard. She is not always teasing and capricious, though, far from it. Often, when in a day-dream or in serious discussion of the ideals and aspirations that mean so much to her, a certain wistfulness of expression present upon her face at such moments, makes you wonder in which mood she is the most captivating. She is a bonny companion and possesses a rare fund of humor and appreciation of the ridiculous as well as of the serious side of life. Though she is the last girl whom you could call a “grind”, she has without any visible effort attained a very creditable scholastic record which only emphasizes her natural ability. Deeply affectionate, though not over-demonstrative, generous to a fault, sensitive and truly feminine in her mental fiber, “Marg” is one of our best and dearest.

New Rochelle High School Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Class Secretary ( 3 ); Props and Paint ( ), Press Agent (2, 3 ), Property Mistress ( 4 ) A CHARMING voice and graceful carriage, coupled with dramatic ability, were primary reasons in making Mildred a member of Props and Paint. The society was particularly fortunate in counting her among its “actresses”, for she has not only taken part in various productions but possesses the skill of directing others in dramatic lines. The first impression she makes is always a very pleasing and favorable one, because her poise and ease quickly break down the barriers of restraint. When “Mill’s” sympathy is touched she displays a wonderful depth of kindliness and, by virtue of this, she is extremely devoted to those whom she loves. Her devotion to her sister is refreshing in these days when many people make family relationships very casual. She is the kind of girl who seems happiest when in the company of intimates — those whom she understands and who understand her. “A rolling stone gathers no moss” is hardly true of Mildred, who, though she has lived in many sections of Connecticut, has never failed to keep in close touch with her friends. Mentally alert, she is always familiar with the latest books, and her penchant for poetry is notable. This tall, slim girl has in her a world of possibilities. It only remains for her to choose the path she would travel. One Hundred Thirty-seven § a m : w , yj p5| y i S2I1I1 m m g | m g 1 i p 3 P Si m MARY GESUALDI, B.A. J Brooklyn, N. Y. Bay Ridge High School Alpha Alpha; The Reapers S MALL of stature but big of mind, Mary Gesualdi exemplified the fallacy of appearances. “Ges” has a remarkable aptitude for learning, indeed she is completing the college course in little more than three years, for she joined us in the middle of Freshman year, and because of illness was out for nearly half of Junior year. But her week-ends are not used to make up for lost time as she in- variably leaves for home as soon as she is free on Friday, and never comes back before time. ,, “Ges’s” energy is marvelous. All her courses are difficult and require a “heap” of preparation but she has time to do it all. She quietly goes ahead and calmly accomplishes a vast amount of work and then proceeds to give a great deal of time to helping others. “Ges” is a linguist. Even Latin, which she had never studied before entering college, holds no terror for her. As for French — her accomplishment in that language is phenomenal; a new system of marking had to be devised, for, , taking everything into consideration, Mary made 110% in French at Mid-years. “Shades of Prof. De France!” One Hundred Thirty-eight m m anmat.er % LC.

Moreover, she is stead- fast in her opinions. When Mary believes she is right, she invariably has the courage of her convictions and is not easily swayed by the assertions of others, no matter if those others be members of the Faculty or her fellow students. Being so straightforward and direct, she is often dismayed by those who allow themselves to be directed implicitly by the advice of others. Mary is ideal in her conception of honor. She is always exact in living up to her promises, whether they be comparatively insignificant or of great importance. No one need feel the least bit uneasy about lending her the season’s best seller or the latest copy of the most popular magazine, for no matter what she borrows, it is promptly returned. This certainly is an effective testimonial in favor of her reliability. Can we say more? That Mary is distinctly individual is strengthened further by her most original and expressive remarks. One never thinks of her without associating with her some characteristic expression. In summary, Chaucer might have said of Mary, “All her intente was For to be honorable and free”. One Hundred Thirty-nine MARGARET ELEANORE GRADY, B.A, Waterbury, Conn. Crosby High School The Reapers; Glee Club (1,2) H AVE you ever met a person who was always ready “to do and dare”? Well, that’s “Peg” — especially if it has anything to do with ’23’s welfare. To verify this we have only to recall “the affair of the barn”, which occurred during the Meet of Sophomore year. When days begin to drag and one is discontented with the world in general, then it’s time to call in “Peg”, for she just openly “tickles you”. “Peg” just can’t help being affectionate, amiable, and extremely generous. In a word, “Peg” “doeth little kindnesses, which most leave undone or despise, for naught that sets one’s heart at ease, and giveth happiness and peace is low esteemed in her eyes”. To “Peg” we attribute the happy faculty of getting things done without really bothering herself or inconveniencing others. Besides, she is a staunch upholder of the proverb that “to have a friend is to be one”. (Ask Emily — she knows.) It is her simplicity of manner, helpfulness, and liberality of sentiment that have won for her a host of friends not only in the Class of ’23 but in the entire Student Body.

She is not only an accomplished pianist from the point of technique but she puts into her playing a depth of tender feeling. Many evenings were spent listening to her play- ing “the old sweet songs” for us. This gift is not confined to the giving of pleasure to her friends only, but makes her one of the leading figures in the musical clubs. As a contrast to this serious side there is the “Connie” of a lighter, more frivolous mood. Rupert, her pet rabbit, figures largely in these scenes. Many times we have listened enraptured to the glowing account of his varied adventures and lovable qualities. The very absurdity of these moments only serves to reveal more clearly the Constance underneath all the nonsense. We have read bits of her poetry that have revealed a girl with the highest of ideals and standards.

If her talents were restricted solely to singing, ’23 would feel proud, indeed, to count her among its members. But together with this sublime gift she possesses a skill which has served her class in a very tangible way on the basketball court. As Captain of our team for three years she threw herself whole-heartedly into this activity, and what is more, succeeded in infusing her enthusiasm into her team- mates. Speaking of enthusiasm we remember the spirit with which she entered into all the social life of college. Her attractive personality and her ever-ready sense of the ridiculous often served to pass dull hours. Underlying all the fun and nonsense was the big, generous “Dot”, always ready to accommodate and help everybody. The extent of the loss ’23 sustained when “Dot” had to leave us in the middle of Senior Year was only fully realized when she was no longer with us. We can only echo the theme of the song she sang us at our Farewell Party to her, “Till we meet again”. One Hundred Forty-two H. MARGUERITE HARVEY, B.A. Lima, N. Y. Nazareth Academy. D’Youville College, 1919-22 Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Mandolin Chib (4) T WENTY-THREE is jealous of D’Youville. Why? Because she claimed Marguerite for three long years, and we have had her only one. Nevertheless, in this one, our last, “Marg” won the love and loyalty of, we might say, the entire College, for she is one of the most universally known and liked among the Seniors. Perhaps it is her easygoing, droll manner that has endeared her to the hearts of all or her generosity in administering to the lonesome and sick. Mingled with her charming personality is the Marguerite of a keen intellect. She is without a doubt very literary. Anything she writes shows an intensive research of the subject. It reveals, moreover, an analytical mind with the precise application of a clever intelligence. We shall never forget “Marg’s” unfailingly optimistic outlook, her highly developed sense of humor, nor her work of encouragement to the downhearted. She is one whom you just can’t get angry with, no matter what she does, because of her winsome smile and lovable ways. Her fund of sympathy, sincerity, and charity is an excellent example of one’s ideal of a friend. Moreover, “Marg” performs all her duties earnestly, quietly, and steadily, but at the same time she believes that “you have not fulfilled every duty unless you have fulfilled that of being pleasant”.

In her serious, calm way, she is able to achieve seemingly impossible things. Her regard for duty and her indomitable will aid her in reaching whatever goal her mind has set itself upon. Industry, perseverance, and determination are her chief characteristics. She is a self-sufficient, independent person who seeks recognition and assistance from no one. Her opinions are not gleaned from the ideas of others but are always original. It takes a long time before one becomes intimately acquainted with Agnes, because she is not prone to court attention. However, after we really know her, she takes a lasting hold on our affections. Her friends admire her lack of sentimen- tality, and enjoy her wholesome sense of humor which is at its height when she is telling her amusing anecdotes. Agnes is one of the girls who contributes greatly to the strength of the class because of her reliability and her willingness to share in the inconveniences as well as in the privileges of being a member of 23.

Attuned shades of feeling, Anna transfers this trait to keen musical apprecia regret that her B.S. studies have absorbed so much of her time from h pursuits.

She is clever, determined, satirical but just. Bettie has the confidence of her associates, because by experience they have found her comments the result of deliberation, a broad viewpoint, and a careful judgment. Sister trait to her soft Southern accent — the enevitable “you all” — is her leisureliness tempered by a special quality of Southern grace with its appreciation of the “mot juste”. Bettie has strong likes and dislikes. She is the happy compound of a real sport, ever appreciative of a humorous story or incident; the proverbial “hard-working B.S.”, and a writer of considerable literary talent. She has been an indispensable member of the basketball team for four years, where she has made many brilliant plays for ’23, so Bettie’ s interests and activities are varied. The unassuming manner in which she accomplishes things, together with her charm and pleasing personality, her sense of fun, her staunchness and ever- ready sympathy, will find for her a place all her own wherever she goes. Bettie has a faculty for putting work off until the last minute, then setting herself to it she calls forth her amazing resources and manages to secure the best possible results. Finally, she is an interesting splash of color, one of the highlights of pep and goodfellowship in the vivid picture of ’23. One Hundred Forty-six MARY HOWARD, B.LITT. Norwalk, Conn.

But Mary’s laughter is so contagious and mirth-provoking that it has its effect on all who have the good fortune to hear it. Concurrent with this happy faculty we have the efficient Mary who so ably manages the Advertising Department of the Quarterly , the practical girl who does not talk about tasks to be done, but instead gets results by doing them at once, and well. She has not always received the appreciation due her for her services in many lines because of the quiet self-effacing way in which she undertakes any business at hand. We fully realize, however, how dependable and reliable she is. Her scholastic standing proves her to be a good student, but those who know her realize that these good marks are never gained at the expense of a good time, but rather as the result of a natural ability. Mary is one whose opinion is well worth asking because she knows what she wants to say and says it in a deliberate, logical manner. Behind this laughter, effici- ency, and dependability, is Mary’s sincerity which shines through all her actions and makes her a true and valued friend. One Hundred Forty-seven ELEANOR C.

If you could ever see the gowns she designs, or the clever parties she contrives, all on the spur of the moment — then you would surely agree that Eleanor is dexterous. Moreover, Eleanor has a high conception of duty which, together with a fine attention to detail, renders the work she does practically flawless. “To those who know her not” — she is careful, proper, and a trifle critical in attitude, but “to those who know her”, she is droll, dignified, and diplomatic. Eleanor is very cautious in picking her friends — but once she has chosen them she is as “true as the dial to the sun”. This we daily discern in her unswerving loyalty to Betty and Helen. “El” who gets more laughs than groans out of life, always enjoys the present hour, is thankful for the past, and at the same time is true to her word, her work, and her friends!

Her appearance gives no hint of the surreptitious activities she carries on in the class-room that often result in the confusion of a few and the diversion of many. With a practical joke at hand for every occasion, with a most misleading expression that is baffling, she can bring about the most ludicrous situations, and escape without being suspected in the slightest degree by those who are searching for the culprit. But her jokes are never malicious, for under no circumstances would she willingly ofFend anyone. “Jadda” might be used as a convincing argument to prove that a fun-loving spirit and the ability to major inhigher“Math” arenotincongruous,forshecombines both of them. She is master of Calculus and Analytics, while the trigonometric sines and tangents are as mere toys to her. Because of her engaging ways and her ladylike demeanor; because of her evenness of temperament, for she is never ruffled, angry, or gloomy; because of her optimism, which enables her to enjoy fully the thrill and suspense of taking a chance; because of her genial attitude toward life — “Jadda” is the companion whom we’ll miss so much in the days to come.

She does not require big pleasures to make her happy. The arrival of an expected letter, a trip to the movies or to the city raises her spirits to “seventh heaven . Vivacious and enthusiastic, Helen not only dispels gloom but makes others par- ticipate in her joy. Her ideals are sound and practical. The kind of a girl who wantsto be “ a good little wife in the good old-fashioned way , is Helen, and as such we know she will prove efficient. Housework is a pleasure to her. When one is sick, her touch is that of a nurse — nay, more — that of a mother. Though a lover of fun and good times, Helen ' s serious moments are many. She has the power of con- centration to a marked degree when exams loom ahead.

Enthusiastic, and entering whole-heartedly into everything, she never missed the smallest intrigue, and nothing could be put over if Anne did not have something to do with it. This trait is fundamental and is carried out even to the way in which she cleans her room. Within five minutes after she decides that the room needs cleaning, all the furniture is out in the hall; after ten minutes, there is no more need for broom or mop; and after fifteen min- utes, it is positively spotless. Anne is ever candid and her opinions may be relied upon as having been given without an idea of making a favorable impression. She gains the respect of all by her independence and her untiring efforts to achieve what she believes to be right and just. Whether in gathering points or in unearth- ing new class cheers Anne is at all times resourceful. Her friends will remember her because of these qualities, and the memory that all will keep is of the viva- cious Anne, leading cheers for ’23; but there is the other Anne who champions the weak, who vigorously attacks the unjust, whose sincerity is above reproach. To this Anne, and the Anne of “quips, pranks and jollities , we have given our affection and admiration. One Hundred Fifty -one J ;l I Y W KATHRYN L. KELLY, B.A. Coraopolis, Pa.

There is something singularly wistful in her glance; a something intangible yet plainly felt which tugs at our heartstrings and makes us forever her slave. At times a world of cynicism descends upon her shoulders, and the troubles of empire-builders loom up to beset her. This is another “Kel”, one who becomes discouraged but only for a short while. Her abiding cheerfulness cannot long be kept down. Obstacle after obstacle has fallen beneath her fixed determination to “make good”. Her deep sense of humor displays itself not only in a true appreciation of others’ “wise cracks” but also in witticisms of her own which send her hearers off into peals of laughter. “Would you consider”, are words with which “Kel” usually introduces a request, whether it be for your company or your umbrella, and as it is accompanied by that wistful smile she is seldom refused anything. To her a confidential chat with an intimate friend or two is as food and drink to others. Her ideas are sound; her way of expressing them original; and her manner, irresistible.

Her reticence and the calm, unruffled manner in which she accepted every- thing piqued our curiosity. We envied her dignity and poise. Secretly we thought of her as a sophisticated young cynic. First impressions, however, are not always true; they weren ' t in Mildred ' s case. Four years of close companionship have shown that her blase attitude is merely a guise, worn to conceal a most surprising self-consciousness and winsome shyness. She loves pleasure and has the enthu- siasm of a born “ excitement-eater for dances and proms. Her appreciation of the beautiful is expressed in her exquisite taste, especially shown in the choice of clothes. No matter when one sees Mildred, her well-groomed appearance is always the same. Anyone who danced gayly at ' 23 ' s Prom last year can vouch for Mildred ' s business capabilities. Her sympathy is of that subtle quality not expressed so much in words as in thoughtful deeds. Mildred is a girl who will always attract attention and admiration wherever she goes. Added to these things are those qualities that make her the girl we know; a true friend. MARY VERONICA McDERMOTT, B.A. Bridgewater, Mass. Greenwich High School Alpha Alpha; The Reapers B EAUTY is reputed to be skin deep; but knowing Mary we find this to be false in her case. Mary is beautiful. That is indisputable. Her beauty rests not only in the depth of the blue of her eyes nor in her uniformly lovely coloring (a delightful blush that comes and goes is one of her charms), but extends inward. Let us accept Keats’ word that “truth is beauty”. The results of the activ- ities of Mary’s mind adhere very closely to the perfect truth — to which her marks (which range from 96 to 100%) testify. As philosophers, we know that the nature of a being is shown by its activities; therefore, Mary’s mind is beautiful. But high marks are not the only evidence, for Mary has done more than acquire knowl- edge; she has imparted it. Her Latin class has been extremely fortunate in having such a splendid teacher for their elementary work. Mary’s generosity in giving her time and effort so freely indicates her character. Her beauty extends to her soul. Generosity, with perfect candor, sincerity, and holiness might be said to be its basic notes. Mary is faithful to the best that is in her. That is why she is an unfailing champion of right even if it requires a struggle against her own most bashful self.

We have never quite decided whether her talents lie more along literary or business lines, but we all know that she is a demon for statistics and that there is no escaping this faculty of hers. Alice has her irresistibly funny moments when we must confess she is more like a winsome little girl than the dignified Alice she believes herself to be. But we find her most lovable in these moods. Of superior intelligence, she meets her studies half way and usually comes out on top. To her, studies seem incidental to College life; the making of friends and the keeping of them is the vital part. Alice has that knack of making short epigrammatic remarks about things in general which seem to sum the matter up in a refreshing and amusing way. She pos- sesses a clear insight into things which enables her to pick out the essentials in life. One Hundred Fifty-five ■ £ : 0 Clr J HELEN G. M. McMAHON Buffalo, N. Y.

In appearance, Helen has the vividness ol con- trast — a creamy-white complexion that offsets her shining blue-black hair, the beauty of her slate-colored eyes. There is something exotic yet aloof in Helen that baffles our knowledge. A charm so vague and elusive that we cannot fathom it. With this beauty of appearance there are the sterner qualities of a level head for business; a fine literary ability; a well-balanced enthusiast; a systematic worker; a thoughtful reader of many books. In consequence, Helen as a conversationalist is informative, entertaining, and humorous. The information extends over a wide range of subjects, from the latest book or play to Chinese chess. It is always well expressed in the fewest possible words, and leaves one with the impress of a mind discriminative to a nicety. Perhaps one of the chief attractions in jollying with Helen is her pungent satire of contemporary life on campus. Above all Helen is not a faddist, but considers the new thing from every point of view before she accepts it. To sum up, though intellectual she is domestic; though conservative she is progressive; though distant she is ever a friend. One Hundred Fifty-six LORETTA McNAMARA, B.S. Fair Haven, Vt.

Her disposition belies both her name and her hair, for of temper she displays none. She has that enviable faculty of securing happiness from the little things of life in such a marked degree that she has received a second nickname — “Pollyanna”.

She is a remarkably good dancer and excels in fancy ice-skating. Her popularity not only here at school but elsewhere, therefore, is evident.

In direct contrast, her histrionic capabilities prove the versatility of her nature. Freshman and Sophomore years, “Mega’s” sleeping hours were few. The wee hours found her walking the corridors with raised umbrella and ringing alarm clock. Although this “Mega” faded somewhat in the days that followed, she is at times very much in evidence. Neither has she changed in doing those little kindnesses for which most people have no time. There is her willingness to spend long hours helping the less fortunate in their pursuit of knowledge — which help is usually followed by the declaration “why, that wasn’t anything!” Another part of her, or perhaps it is a part of “Maggie Darlin’ ”, is her Irish wit which has enlivened many a party, particularly in the form of “The Family Plate”.

A winning smile and two delightfully merry eyes banish all hint of sarcasm from her remarks. But Mabel is not all fun. Should anyone offend her, a new light shines in her eyes, one that shows a girl very capable of defending her point of view. However, her sunny, even disposition is seldom disturbed by one of these moods. Just listen to the returns from the examinations if you wish to get an idea of Mabel’s ability. Enviable high marks adorn her record. For the last four years almost every English course in college has been graced by Mabel’s presence. Besides her splendid work in the class room, Mabel is also quite an athlete. She has been prominent on our “well graded athletic held”, frequently. We remember her playing in the baseball game last year. Whatever Mabel may turn her hand to when she leaves us, we know that she will do it to perfection as she did things here.

With her subdued manner and calm spirit of assurance she accomplishes much in a short time. Continued application to study is quite unnecessary in her case.

NOLAN, B.A. Auburn, N. Y. Auburn Academic High School A N 0; Alpha Alpha: The Reapers: Literary Staff Annales: Junior Week Committee; The Press Club ( 4 ) P OSSESSING a genius for insight, a level head, and a charitable heart, “Bernie” is the friend of all. Indeed her appreciation of friendship is a strong factor in making “Bernie” one of the most sympathetic people we know. It probably accounts, too, for the consideration she unfailingly shows to everyone. “Bernie” chooses her friends well and is loyal to them ever after; loyal not only to those with whom she happens to be but to the absent ones as well. We all know that “Bernie” writes innumerable letters — and we know, too, that those letters so newsy, so long, and so well written, are masterpieces of an inventive mind! “Bernie” has a most commendable sense of justice. Expression of her opinions is one without reference to friend or foe; but her opinions are always seasoned with a large amount of charity. “Bernie” is an idealist, a dreamer, and a book-lover. It seems that when she is alone with her thoughts or her poetry she lives in an Utopian land. With “Bernie” we associate beautiful words: to her we say “God never loved me in so sweet a way before, T is He alone who can such blessings send, And when His love would new expression find He brought thee to me and said ‘Behold a friend’.” One Hundred Sixty-four ALICE WINTERS O’BRIEN, B.A. Scranton, Pa. St. Cecilia Academy A LICE is petite in the dainty, fragile way of the china doll. A charming delicacy . of thought and feeling is expressed in every word and action. She has a demure manner which is at first deceiving, for she suddenly astonishes one by displaying an amazing amount of that modern elixir known as “pep”. A born prom-trotter and a good dancer, the prospect of a round of dances and parties calls forth her intense enthusiasm and delight. Alice’s femininity is one of her most attractive assets. It gains expression in her love of exquisite finery, and a lavish wardrobe which is always at the dis- posal of her friends. Despite her gayety and love of pleasure, Alice has a very deep nature. Worlds of opinions are hers, but she is reserved in the utterance of them. She rarely makes the mistake of misjudging a person. This accounts for a superior air which surrounds her, although she is entirely unaware of it. She has a keen, synthetic intellect which enables her to grasp the most minute details of any situation. Alice is not of the type who spreads her friendships broadcast. Her friends are chosen for their admirable qualities, and to them by her unwaver- ing loyalty and steadfastness she shows the real depth of her character. One Hundred Sixty-five GRACE ALICE O ' BRIEN, B.A. Scranton, Pa. St. Cecilia Academy Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Sodality Counsellor (4); Tennis Club (7, 2, 3 , 4); Or- chestra (2), Treasurer {4); Chairman Ring Committee (5) P OSSESSING an elusive charm destined to capture many hearts, Grace is delightfully natural, frank, and humorous. These attributes may explain her personality and her uncommon power of attraction which reaching out over four years at N. R. C. has gathered for her, almost unconsciously, a veritable host of friends and admirers. Grace has always been prominent in College life. She is just the type that one calls a “regular girl , one who plays a good game of tennis, a more than fair game of golf, not to mention her accomplishments in basketball. Alas! This spark of genius exhibited Freshman year was cruelly stifled, much to the regret of ' 23 ' s team. Optimistic, entertaining, with a penchant for droll stories told in “the Scranton drawl, Grace is eminently joyous, active, and interested. She is par- ticularly happy in the midst of some devastating excitement, bubbling over with enthusiasm and the joy of not having missed “this one . Just as she is entertaining, a gifted pianist, and no mean artist on the “uke , she is ever ready to use her gifts for the enjoyment of others. This, together with her poise, natural dignity, and a certain independence which is not aloofness, combines to make her one of the best-liked girls in ’23.

Wellsville High School Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Glee Club (3); Props and Paint (4); Manager Lost and Found Department (4); Annales Staff , Photographic Editor; Tennis (4) 1 IVELY yet quiet, clever but retiring, possessing a graceful “savoir faire”, Agnes usually captures one’s heart at first meeting. Now, after four years of constant association, we try to assemble the reasons for her charm and find the space too small for their number. Agnes has: High ideals and a hidden, seldom-voiced wisdom. A vast amount of ambition, perseverance, optimism — galore. A dramatic ability she hid from us till Senior year. A craving for excitement that is sometimes alarming. Agnes is one who makes a careful selection of friends, and keeps a “calm, unswerving loyalty to the few chosen ones”. Agnes is, of course, jovial, with the happy faculty of having a new joke for every occasion. She has the true spirit of fun, which has a laugh on the world in general, and leaves the “joke with a hurt” to the less charitable. And Agnes is good looking, not in a conventional, pretty way, but with a distinction that is all Agnes’s. She is petite with black, wavy hair, flashing blue eyes and a complexion that is the envy of campus. Her innate vitality crops up in every movement, in her grace and her dancing to charm others as she has her classmates and all on campus. One Hundred Sixty-nine MARGARET PURDON, B.S. Norwich, Conn. Norwich Free Academy Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Business Staff Annales; Business Staff “Quarterly ( ?, J), Business Manager (4); Glee Club (7, 2 , 3) T7VERY0NE agrees that “Peg” is perpetual motion — on campus and off JL campus. Active from sunrise till sunset, she never lets a day pass without really accomplishing something — and that is usually something worth while. To find her unoccupied would be unheard of. If it’s not “Stenog” it is the Quarterly. If it’s not the Movies it is the Tea Room. Margaret always finds a vast number of tasks to keep her from interfering in the affairs of others. “Peg” is frank, candid, loyal, and generous, especially in her willingness to work — whether for Alma Mater or a fellow student. In every case we have found that she is an efficient manager. Many an en- joyable afternoon spent in A.Q.T. Room was due to her inexhaustible supply of energy and her eagerness to please. Moreover, “Peg” is the personification of “pep”. It is her merry laugh and her winning way that enlivens many a party. Besides being one of N.R.C s most accomplished dancers, she possesses a refreshing sense of humor, a whole-hearted enthusiasm, and a spirit of fun that makes her ready for anything. According to the horoscope, “Peg” has the promise of a successful future, abounding in honest endeavor and constructive activities. One Hundred Seventy GERTRUDE MARGARET REGAN, B.A. Brooklyn, N. Y. St. Augustine’s Academy Class President (7, 2); Advisory Board (7, 2); Prom Committee; Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Glee Club (7, 2) G ERT” is a striking personality. A vivacity, a flashing smile, and a never- ceasing flow of gay chatter immediately individulize her. A wonderful vitality is responsible for her quick movements and her untiring efforts to accomplish anything she determines upon. The modern term of “Exciter” is applicable to “Gert” — she fairly craves thrills and shocks. An exciting piece of news is a delight to her. However, her frivolity is merely one of her many characteristics. She is intensely serious-minded in all of her intellectual pursuits. Her work in class is never neglected as her high marks constantly attest. “Gert” is well read and well informed. As class president, “Gert’s” cautious leadership guided ’23 through the turbu- lent stages of its early history. During Senior year, “Gert” became conspicuous by her absence. Social activities, teas and dances directed her interest citywards. However, “Gert” will always be remembered for the joyous gaiety she brings to our festivities, for her bubbling laugh, and for the biggest reason, is — just “Gert”. One Hundred Seventy-one fete op A MM ALES inra B ■- - — if , r“P i i ipn: P HELEN GERTRUDE REGAN, B.A. Rockville, Conn. Rockville Public High Alpha Alpha ; The Reapers H ELEN believes that education is the result of a many-sided endeavor. Carry- ing out this principle her activities are along various lines. Naturally, she is a conscientious student. The difficult things she attacks with characteristic alacrity, and on this account her success is constantly recognized. Surely it may be said of her that she is a worthy representative of the class in the intellectual field. With the eagerness that seems to be a part of her she goes in for all the social activities of College life. She has never been known to miss a single New Rochelle dance. No one enjoys a party more than Helen. Then again, her enthusiasm runs in another channel — at basketball games she is always present as one of ’23’s lustiest cheerers. Helen has an immeasurable amount of religious zeal which manifests itself by her attendance at all religious exercises. Moreover, her religion is practically applied. She has very clearly defined ideas of right and wrong, and she is unwaver- ingly staunch in upholding these ideals of righteousness. All her judgments are tempered by a liberal spirit of charity. Success should certainly be Helen’s if she retains her characteristic energy and lives up to the high standards she has set for herself. One Hundred Seventy-two HELEN M.

Stamford High School Alpha Alpha , The Reapers ; Chairman of the Senior Tea; Mandolin Club (7, 2) Glee Club ( 1 ) ADDY to us is serene, calm, affectionate, and lovable; unquestionably the v most easygoing girl in the school. “Caddy” never gets actively angry and noth- ing disquiets her, she merely raises her well-defined eyebrows and smiles. Stead- fast and unassuming, “Caddy” is a rock of the things we admire most in human nature. Notwithstanding these salient characteristics, “Caddy’s” mobility lies in her exquisite sense of the ridiculous and the humorous. She really surprises us in her reaction to a droll story to which she immediately reciprocates with one of her own, usually the best one told. Always responsive to the tale of our woes, she lends her aid irrespective of demand and continues with her kindnesses till all our ills are comforted away. Her attachment to her brother “Flem” is “Caddy’s” long suit. Many of us envy the almost daily letters that come from Georgetown. Everything else is subordinated to this side of “Caddy’s” character which we sincerely admire. Lastly, “Caddy” has that earnest dependability of character that evokes our respect. To “Caddy” Twenty-three has always been grateful for an ideal of service, unselfish, ever-ready, and complete. One Hundred Seventy-four AGNES RYAN, B.A. Stratford, Conn.. Stratford High School Basketball (3), Manager (4); Varsity (3, 4); Glee Club E NJOYABLE and enjoying, “Aggie” is ever in quest of the amusing and entertaining. The unusual has an especial charm for her. She will sit for hours, breathless, with eyes round and shining, listening to a fascinatingly weird story. Artlessness is one of “Aggie’s” most lovable traits. A tense situation fades away in a ripple of laughter after one of her witty, impulsive remarks. She is orderly and methodical in every detail — par example — her voluminous, immaculat ely neat notebooks. “Aggie” has a well-defined sense of duty. When there was a vacant place to be filled on the team she threw away the foibles of earlier years and bent all her energies to the interests of basketball. She startled campus by not only making the Junior team but also the Varsity. Lithe-limbed and quick of move- ment her playing was more than commendable. There is a depth of feeling in “Aggie” and an unbounded loyalty. The joys and sorrows of her friends are hers. Her quick sympathy, her natural, unaffected manner, have won for her an ever- lasting popularity. She has a disposition that is characteristically and universally sunny, generous. To remember “Aggie” is to remember this and to be grateful for the years spent in the company of one who was ever sanely sympathetic and helpful in all her dealings with friends.

In our first impression we recognized a superior mentality, but we did not realize then we had in our midst a potential genius. Her brilliance is of that rare nature which enables “Joe” to attain perfec- tion in the diversified fields that claim her. Her dynamic personality leaves its imprint on everything, whether it be directing or enacting a role in Dramatics; writing fascinating stories, poems, or prize-winning banner songs. Likewise in the Quarterly we find the result of her inimitable spirit — a magazine of genuine literary note. In the unanimous election of “Joe”, Editor-in-Chief of the Annales, a confidence was placed in her conscientious energy, resourcefulness, and creative ability, to which this volume bears ample testimony. Hers is a deep, noble nature which rises above the petty, and strives for the bigger, finer things in life. Her intense love of the beautiful finds expression in the glowing language of music, in art, its appreciation, and criticism. Inherently demanding perfection in all things, “Joe” has a critical faculty that expresses itself in the clear, terse statements that are always original. We love her for the big-sister protective affection she has for “Jean”. We know now “David and Jonathan” were mere acquaintances in com- parison with these two. In “Joe” there is vivid genius; strong character; the habit of generous, big-hearted giving; an initiative that will some sure day proclaim her famous. One Hundred Seventy-six .

Holyoke High School AN 0; Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Secretary of Massachusetts Club; Press Club ; Literary Staff of Annales; Props and Paint , Treasurer (J) I T is a fearsome task to try to classify Louise, for while we are observing her she is doubtlessly studying us and learning to imitate us perfectly. She has developed her power of observation and imitation to an almost uncanny degree, and this gift, enhanced by a mellow voice and satiric humor, makes “Weesey” the center of an admiring group which never tires of the “Campus Reviews”. Her clever char- acterizations have added to the enjoyment of many of our class and College parties. Louise is always ready to appreciate a good joke, especially a practical one. Nevertheless, she is an out-and-out good student who can always be depended on to know the day’s assignment and to have done all the “readings”. In her generosity she is always willing to share with her colleagues the knowledge she has gleaned from the lecture or from the printed page. Louise is conscientious in all things; in her firm adherence to duty in her work, and in the consideration which she gives all those with whom she comes in contact. Her versatility makes “Weesey” a most interesting and enjoyable companion. We have heard her wax eloquent on topics of all kinds but never have we been bored; rather like Oliver Twist we “would like some more” of her. One Hundred Seventy-eight MARY SHEA, B.S. New York City Ladycliff Academy, Highland Falls, N. Y, Alpha Alpha; President , The Reapers; Props and Paint ( 1 , 2, 3), Treasurer (4); Orchestra (7, 2, 3, 4); Business Staff Annales; Prom Committee (2); Baseball B RILLIANT in repartee, distinctly successful in her studies, entertaining in speech, “Shea” is equally prominent in a study club, or in a group of kindred spirits. No one could be better company than she, for her story-telling accompanied by her mannerisms are distinctly amusing. A muffled laugh in the rear of any classroom means that “Shea” is up to something. With “Tib” as her co-partner, she rivals Leon Errol himself in the dishwashing scene from, “Sally”. It might be inferred from this that Mary also shines on the “legitimate stage” under the auspices of “Props and Paint”. Withal, “Shea” is reticent to an unusual degree. Few, if any, know her most intimate thoughts. A clever letterwriter is “Shea” — another proof of her originality. She is emotional and of a somewhat nervous temperament, though she never was known to be “touchy”. Mary enters whole- heartedly into whatever interests her. Her exceptional dancing shows her innate love of music and rhythm. She has a quiet unostentatious piety, her many little religious practices being performed unknown to most. Destined for success is she, for she is a clear thinker, a determined worker, and an up-to-the-minute girl in every respect. One Hundred Seventy-nine MARGUERITE MARY SIMONS, B.A. New York City Ursuline Academy Alpha Alpha ; Art Staff Annales; Advisory Board {4) Club (. 3 , 4) The Reapers; Swimming M ARGUERITE is one of the most good natured and busiest girls in College. If she’s not in class, she’s hunting up Mother Xavier to get the pass key to open a locker for some day-student. If she is not going on a message to or from the Ursuline Academy, she is running to an important meeting. “Marge’s” clever fingers have turned out some of the most artistic favors and decorations of which ’23 is proud. She is talented to a marked degree and everything to which she puts her pen or brush shows her ability. Although it is a rare thing to see her carrying many books on her way to and from College, she always has her work prepared and has the necessary information on the tip of her tongue. She has a keen sense of humor and can find a joke in what most people would call dry reading. “Marge” doesn’t often speak of her social affairs, but from the few words she occasionally drops it is easy to see that she is kept quite as busy outside of College as in it. But she is such an all-around fine friend that we aren’t at all surprised at her popularity. We all admire her whole-hearted generosity and wish her the best of success in all her undertakings. One Hundred Eighty One Hundred Eighty-one MARY LOUISE TIERNEY, B.A. Plattsburg High School Props and Paint ( 1 , 2, 3 y 4); Alpha Alpha; The Reapers , Advisory Board ( 3 ) AN intellect that is keen, clear, and assimilative; a well balanced dominant jljL personality; a disposition that is magnetic and responsive to friendship. Mary has vision. It gives her a broadmindedness which passes over the small, irritating things of life as inconsequential. Again, she has a certain air of possession in her manner of attacking and overcoming problems, a confidence and independence that characterize everything she does and says. It would be impossible to give a realistic picture of “T” without somehow conveying the idea of dash and vividness plus power and unstudied poise which is so essentially a part of her make-up. Not only is it the first impression which her splendid coloring and general appearance express but it is a lasting one which her sterling and attractive qualities tend to deepen. She is a girl of suave, unruffled, capable manner who does not confine herself to school work in which she succeeds with admirable expertness and astound- ing ease; persistently and consistently coming out on top, but who has a finesse of adjustment which enables her to step into a part in the Mid-Year Play and acquit herself creditably, at a moment’s notice. Finally, “T” is energetic with the energy of a forceful nature; she is fun-loving and finds pleasure in everything; she is, more- over, a powerful opponent and an invaluable ally. One Hundred Eighty -two RUTH TIERNEY, B.A. Brooklyn, N. Y. Brentwood, L. I. Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Orchestra ( 2 , 5, 4) O F all the musical talent of ’23, Ruth is the greatest exponent. We have only to attend one of her numerous concerts to learn of her technique and master touch in playing the harp. Ruth is “petite”, rather quaint (not in ideas) and of a retiring disposition. Often we find her off in a day dream and we fancy that she is recalling the adventures of a previous week-end, when perhaps she is planning a “vogie” dress or arranging a menu for her next luncheon. Her day dreams are never futile. Ruth is always busy as a bee. Though proficient in many things she is never boastful and always hesitates before displaying her knowledge. Ruth is the “very pink of courtesy”. She has a calm exterior, but most decided convictions, “a heart with room for every joy”, and a reliability of the very best brand. We have no fear for Ruth when she goes out from Alma Mater. “As great men are measured by their character and not by their success”, we know that Ruth’s dependability will be one of her greatest assets. Even while she is being hymned by the “literate” and the “cognoscenti” we will always remember Ruth and the harp that once thru’ Maura’s Halls. One Hundred Eighty-three ETHEL WALKER, B.A. New Haven, Conn. New Haven High School. New Haven Normal Training School Vice-President Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Props and Paint ( 4 ) I T did not take us long to realize just what ’23 had gained when Ethel joined us at the beginning of Junior year. She soon impressed us by her unlimited capability and her absolute unselfish- ness. Ethel has an unusually keen analytical mind which penetrates to the core of things, and her never-failing memory is accurate to the minutest detail. Added to these qualities she possesses distinct literary ability. She is widely read and has the power to express her ideas in a logical, convincing manner. The old adage “A friend in need is a friend indeed”, is especially applicable to Ethel. She is ever willing to do all in her power to aid anyone in difficulty. At all times generous and willing to share her knowledge, she has become famous for the study clubs which she conducts with such remarkable efficiency. Her thoroughness is typified by the skill with which she conducts the Freshmen Psychology quizzes. There is no pretension about Ethel; her manner is refreshingly frank and open. With these appealing qualities and her marked intellectual ability we feel sure that Ethel will make herself a power wherever she may be. One Hundred Eighty-four HELEN ZUKOWSKY, B.S. Suffield, Conn. Mount St. Joseph, Academy, Hartford, Conn. Alpha Alpha; The Reapers; Class Secretary ( 4 ); Choir ( 3 , 4); Mandolin Club (2) H ELEN has had no difficulty in obtaining the “B.S.” degree even though we know very definitely that the life of a secretarial student has by no means been a bed of rose-s for the past two years — or four. The qualities essential to success in that course have always been a part of Helen. Carefulness and absolute accuracy are the characteristics which make her a dependable authority on whatever she says, and moreover, she never makes statements without knowing exactly what she is talking about. An innate sense of neatness is why Helen never appears to be ruffled. Many times she has saved the dignity of a situation, her poise counteracting loss of proportions through excitement. That does not mean, however, that Helen is not enthusiastic — her eyes shine brightly over the prospect of a class enterprise; she backs, with all her might, any undertaking of either the class or College. Helen does not talk much, but her word is never absent when an important topic must be discussed, neither is it spoken in an unkind or uncharitable manner. Like most people who say little she listens. In her we find a truly sympathetic friend. Helen loves the beautiful and has cultivated her natural taste for music, evidenced by occasional week-ends in the city to attend the opera and concerts. As she has not only a taste for music but also the divine spark, we may some day go to see her in the opera — not as an auditor. One Hundred Eighty-five HOT V 5 § i § i g | i s $ i jg? S?

These terse but true words are oft repeated by weary maidens who are overcome by excess “avoirdupois”. If a scale similar to the one illustrated were placed in the “foyer” of Maura Hall it would put many a young miss’s mind at ease. The funds amassed from the use of said scale would insure the College of the prospects of an immense swimming pool. 4. “Have you a radio in your room ?” This will be the current question a few years hence. The installation of radios in students’ and professors’ rooms will facili- tate matters for both Faculty and the Student Body. Think of it, girls! No more rushing to the gym for eight o’clock classes — NO CUTS — No anxiety. One Hundred Ninety-eight 5. Many a demoiselle about to set out for the city, or a week- end at West Point, is confronted with the question, “WHAT SHALL I WEAR?” Just step into the College Wardrobe and pick up a little frock suitable for any occasion. This ward- robe will adjoin the package room, and “The Mistress of Bundles” will have absolute charge. No fee is required for the use of these clothes, but anything borrowed on Friday must be returned before the eight o’clock class on the follow- ing Wednesday. 6. “It never rains but it pours”. This cynical aspect of life is proven false by the little picture opposite. Note the um- brella gracefully draped before, “The Autocrat at the Breakfast Table”. The “jane” under this “Parapluie” is struggling with a grapefruit, but she is at least satisfied that her “girl friend” opposite will suffer no discom- fiture from this morning exer- cise. This umbrella is filet crocheted and can be attached to the table leg after the first course. Of course, you under- stand that the device does not isolate either party. No!!!!, : m jig ill iW ' : I - pa t 1 1 m m s M m gentle reader — the little aper- ture in the front wing of the umbrella which is made of em- broidered cut glass enables the two to jolly at will. And, “is not the sauce to meat, cere- mony?” Miss X registers ease and tranquillity, for she is cer- tain that her coffee will not be diluted nor her marcel wave ruined by Miss Y’s tactful manip- ulation of a grapefruit. 7. This represents a collegian eagerly setting forth to an exam. In her pocket she carries a victrola which she attaches to the student chair just before taking the examination. During the exam a record is played which furnishes the examinee with a perfect knowledge of the subject to be passed. Everyone who comes out of an exam after having used one of these vest pocket “vies” feels sure that she has “broken a record”, with- out damaging her machine. The beauty of these instruments is that they are equipped with mufflers and convey the knowl- edge to the owner only. More- over, they can be concealed in extreme haircombs. and thus assure the ambitious one of perfect safety. 8. Here is an A.B. (member of the Advisory Board) going to the “ville” on Sunday after- noon. She is wearing a pair of BLINDERS, and “Why?” To prevent her from having an elastic conscience, for if she saw an Underclassman off campus she would be forced to report her. And an A.B. really doesn’t like to do those things. These little BLINDERS are attached at either side of the hat, and keep the A.B. from seeing any- one but strangers. At the same time they enable her to mount curbs or avoid puddles with perfect agility. Moreover we are sure that this device will in no way impair one’s vision.

For many years I had anticipated a trip abroad, and now in 1930 my hopes were realized. I was on board the R. M. S. Mauretania, bound for Liverpool. And best of all I was not to be amidst strangers on my journey, for on my way up the gangplank I caught a glimpse of Hannah Stapleton and I knew she, too, was to cross the briny deep. It was not long before we met and arranged to have our steamer chairs placed together. The follow- ing morning, seated in the bright sunshine, we began to match happenings of the last six years. With eagerness Hannah pulled out a bulky boat letter which she had just received from Betty D. “That girl’s leading a high life”, she said to me. In answer to my horrified gasp, Hannah explained that Betty was Manager of the Transcontinental Air Service between New York and San Francisco. Having finally comprehended the surprising news, I began to devour the letter. My attention was caught by the words, “and Connie and Marg are running a free lunch counter in Grand Central to be patronized exclusively by ‘poverty stricken’ college girls”. Immediately below — “You’ll be surprised to learn that Bunny, May, and Kitty are hostesses in a charming ‘salon’ on Madison Avenue and are conducting exclusive ‘The Dansantes’ for the ‘debs’”. She went on to say that on one of her cross-country trips she landed in Hibbing, Minnesota, and found Amelia Currie the mayor, and Mary Howard the sheriff. On the fifteenth page of the lengthy letter I read that during a short stop in Toledo for repairs, Betty received an invitation to visit the Ursuline Convent. On her arrival she was greeted by Felicie Covert who was now Superior. From her she learned that Mary Campbell had reorganized the com- mercial schools of the city, introducing the Graham system of shorthand with many improvements of her own. Mildred Leavy was still in Spain where the twins and the two boys were learning to speak the language like natives. Gertie Regan was Matron of a Home for the Aged Friendless where ladies only were admitted. Alice MacDonald was acting as assistant matron. Aggie Ryan had gone in for scientific farming, making apples a specialty. Her slogan, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, is becoming famous the world over. Margaret O’Brien was a leader in the Girl Scout Movement in Chicago. I had just read that Ruth Barry had been appointed a judge in the children’s courts (an acknowledg- ment of valuable experience gained at N. R. C.,) when the letter was covered by a tiny hand. I started up to see before me Alice O’Brien in the severe but becoming uniform of a trained nurse. She informed me that tiring of the social whirl she had taken up nursing as a profession and was now on an interesting case. She answered my eager questions by saying that Grace O’Brien was teaching Oral English in a private school in Boston. Bettie Horrigan was to sail with the next contingent from Maryknoll to take up her lifework as a missionary in China. Florence Baeszler was running a nursery, whether for children or flowers she didn’t know. Mary Tierney was still playing around; now, however, she was directing organized play on the city playgrounds. Anna Healy was Editor of “Captain Billy Whiz Bang” with Caddy as chief reporter. Helen Robertson was working night and day as head of a Yale lock factory. Barbara Bennett was becoming notorious at the Casino at Monte Carlo where she was squandering enormous sums. A querulous call from Alice’s patient prevented her from enlightening me further. At dinner, Hannah and I were fortunately shown to the captain’s table. Here sat Abigail Meagher in the striking costume of ship’s captain. We were not surprised, for we always felt that Abigail would sail through life. Over our demi-tasse she confided that Mary McDermott and Irene Morrissey were doubling for the McCarthy twins in the “Music Box Revue”; that Helen Jahoda was running a sightseeing bus (31.50 a head) through Chinatown, while Mary Gesualdi explained the points of interest en route; that Sallie Bender had established a circulating library a la Mahoney’s at 42nd and Fifth Avenue. Only the best sellers were lent. Olga, Millie, and Catherine Daly were heads of a large catering house whose specialty was “quality, not quantity”. Anne Carrig and Agnes Haugh were running the Scenic Railway at Coney Island. Dalton, Dunningham, and Dunn were traveling with Ringling Bros. Katherine as lion-tamer, Mae as snake-charmer, and Kay Dalton as sword-swallower. At a word from our captain we wended our way to the salon where a charity performance was being given by two Metropolitan stars who proved to be none other than Catherine Nagle and Pauline Mun- ning. Louise Shea accompanied them at the piano. The trip was all too short. The following week found us landed in Liverpool and frantically making our way through the customs-house. In desperation I approached the portly form of a customs officer, gf m who turned, and before my astonished eyes stood Mildred Foley. She said that she was “jolly glad” to see me. As she hurried away in answer to the pleadings of a distressed American, she called back that Muriel and she had been stationed here for five years and found it “topping”. We finally settled our difficulties in the customs and then took the train up to London and drove right to the Savoy. Weary after the happenings of the day we welcomed a peaceful slumber on terra firma. Before Hannah left the following morning, to take up her work as assistant to Lady Duff Gordon, I gave her one of my latest photographs. She smiled when she saw“Apeda” written in the lower right- hand corner of the picture. But she seemed satisfied when I told her that Helen Regan and Mary Gleason were now owners of the studio and were doing excellent business. Their customers were all more than pleased with their work. Left alone I made my plans for the day and sallied forth on a sightseeing trip. As quickly as possible I made my way to Westminster Abbey and strolled through the lofty building with a feeling of awe and interest. Far in the Poet ' s Corner I came upon a quiet figure busily copying the epitaphs from the tombs. Curiously, I drew near. Could I believe my eyes? Was this shrunken figure and emaciated countenance really Mary Shea’s? The busy fingers stopped and a triumphant smile lighted the face. This assured me that it was indeed our Mary. After greeting me with genuine pleasure, she asked for the latest news from N. R. C. When I had told her all I knew, she informed me that Loretta McNamara had gone to Russia where she was an ardent supporter of the Reds, that “Shock” was a prominent member of the Alpine Climbers’ Club and has obtained renown for her wonderful feats. “Tibbie” was one of the chief attractions at the Dentists’ International Convention, held at Paris, where her musical teeth had won her fame. Bernie Nolan and Helen Jones were living in Duplex apartments on the Fiji Islands. They watch the growing attachment between their offspring with fond hopes for the future. K. Kelly was fast rivaling Irving Berlin as a composer of popular songs, while Margaret Meagher was undertaking the erection of a monument of those daring few who sought and finally obtained the aboli- tion of exams from the college curriculum. After leaving Mary I returned to the hotel where I found a visitor awaiting me. It was none other then Jo Schlachter, clad in slinky black, and wearing a sumptuous sable wrap. We exchanged the hand- clasp and then sat down for a chat. She said that she was on her way to Deauville where the filming of her latest picture was to take place. She added that Glenn Hunter was splendid as her leading man. With a coy look she said that he was her “best pal and at the same time her severest critic”. Jo was pleased with her arrangements, for it gave her the opportunity to visit Jean at Lyons where she was training for the tennis finals in which she was to meet Suzanne Lenglen. She went on to say that her latest report from college was that Marcy Connelly as Mistress of the Bundle Room has won great popularity because of her system of distributing packages; that Anne Kehoe has married a plantation- dwner in Cuba, and from all reports was still raising cane; that Marguerite Simmons was studying art in Greenwich Village when she was enticed from her work by a flattering offer from Neysa McMein and was now one of the best-known models in the Village. After Jo told me that Helen Jukowsky was head of a large deaf mute asylum at Peoria, Illinois, where children of all nationalities were accepted, she asked for the “Up-State news”. I told her that Marguerite Harvey was head of the Westchester Secretarial School, that goal having been reached by dint of hard work and constant application; that Eleanor, Helen, and Betty were sole owners of the concession to run a ferry boat on Keuka Lake. In addition they had started a tea room in Penn Yan, the “Pink Bulldog”, which was greatly patronized by the ultra-smart set of the town. Jo was surprised to hear that Agnes O’Connor had obtained the Presidency of the Erie Railroad. Since her appointment she had made many improvements, the most remarkable being the rerouting of the: line direct from Wellsville to Grand Central. ' Helen Cuff was the attraction at Beaux Arts Cage where her singing and dancing act, put on between two and four (A. M., not P. M.,) was the latest thing in New York. Peg Purdon was now living in Niagara Falls where people came from far and near to witness her go over the falls in a barrel, daily. Helen McMahon had gone in for spiritualism and was being ably assisted by Sir Conan Doyle. No doubt that was the logical outcome of her spiritual tendencies. When I had imparted these bits of gossip, Jo rose languidly, remarking that she was dining with the Prince of Wales. She left and I sat down to read the “London News”. Turning to the sport section, I read that the Olympic Games were over, and immediately below that “Eleanor Brooks and Mabel Moore, American swimmers, break all records”. Under the races I read “Ethel Walker riding, ‘The Whip’ wins Derby”. While perusing the society page I saw the engagement announcement of Emile Coue and Margaret Grady. It went on to say that “the young American didn’t care for the French scientist at first, but every day in every way she was learning to like him better and better”. On the first page in large headlines, I read “Lady Ruth Tierney Again Brings Up Marriage Bill in the House of Lords”. I was not surprised, for I recall that Ruth used to harp on things at school. Hearing my name paged I called the boy and was handed a cablegram. I opened it with apprehen- sion and read “Laundry list mislaid, cannot find it anywhere, tome home at once”. It was signed Tom Meighan Two Hundred Twelve ANNALES f ' - -■ i ' kl mm3r¥k-. Last Will and Testament We, the Class of 1923 of the College of New Rochelle, salute thee! Being in our right mind and sound of disposition; grieved at the separation about to take place between our beloved Alma Mater and ourselves; we here bequeath unto our heirs the august and cherished rights and privileges hitherto enjoyed by us honor- able Seniors, the Spirit that has distinguished us and the following adjuncts, appendages, and abstract goods of which we have been the trusted stewards. First: To Alma Mater we bequeath a postal station, with all the modern equipments and conveniences, to be installed in Maura Hall. Moreover, we take this opportunity to elect Miss Gertrude O’Neil as post mistress for the year 1923- 1924. To the commuting Faculty, the aggregate interest on all our bank accounts to be used specifically for commutation tickets between New Rochelle and 125 th Street. Second: Upon the Juniors, Our worthy successors, we confer all the cherished rights to the Senior Stairs; the distinguished privilege of breakfasting daily in collegiate dress; an unimpeded passage through all congested halls and corridors; and four large chaises-longes for the living room. This last bequest we feel will be doubly appreciated, since three years’ hard usage of the present divans on your part has removed every vestige of Senior privileges that they might hold for you. We also grant to you the trusted duty of carrying on the tradition of the “Ulmus Silens”, a tradition which we are confident will be as sacred to you and future Seniors as it has been to us. Of lesser note may we present you with: (1) The Kat’s Meow, to be found at almost any hour between Maura Hall and Leland Castle. (2) A jitney service to the vill., cars leaving Maura at seven-minute intervals. (3) All Mary McDermott’s superfluous points, for we feel that one point on your record is worth two to be made. (4) Marcella’s ministrations to all the rest of the Waterbury girls. To our beloved sisters , the Sophomores, we leave: (1) A kindly interest and a sisterly concern for the trials and tribulations of the Class of ’27. (2) The questionable dignity that should ever surround an upperclassman, and the suggestion that the aforesaid dignity be practiced and perfected. (3) The sole use of all armchairs and windowseats, so that there will be no excuse for ever occupying the Senior divans. To the Freshmen: (1) ’23 bequeaths a return to the good graces of the Faculty and authorities. (2) The privilege of absenting themselves from dinner on a night previously determined, preferably in the month of March. (3) The wish that your sojourn in these hallowed precincts will be one of contentment and prosperity. Two Hundred Thirteen toSS To the incoming Class of ' 2J we leave: (1) The right to store their mascot and Meet favors in the safe deposit vault of the N. R. Trust Company. (2) A mechanical device which will enable them to roll up the Living Room rug with greater agility. Patent is applied for and all royalties are to be paid ’27’s treasury. (3) The sincerest wishes of their Big Sisters who regret that they will not be here to welcome them, but who will ever feel for them the deepest interest and solicitude. Third: The following personal bequests are to be made: To Mary Moore, a firebell, 12 feet in diameter, to be used in case of emergency only. This bell is the gift of Miss Marcelina Connelly. Alice O’Brien’s platinum handbook, with letters embossed in gold, to Louise Carew. This is to be studied assiduously and applied practically. Betty Doyle’s private yacht goes to Betty Goodloe and Maude Long, to be used en route to West Point only. Margaret Meagher’s “parking space” in the College Supply Store is auto- matically transferred to Angela Casey. No instructions are necessary with this gift. Mildred Leavy’s passionate love of fudge passes on to Frances Byrne, provided she count the calories per day. To Margaret Curtin, of ’25, Hannah Stapleton leaves her dramatic voice, on the condition that it be used, in order to keep it in good trim. Helen Cuff’s Harlem River whistle goes to Merrie Gorham, to be used in directing traffic in the gym. Mary Gesualdi leaves her room to Gertie McKenne, where she may practice her famous Flour Song, by Pillsbury, in peace. i Anne Kehoe lavishly bestows her superfluous points on Dot Cogan, with the maxim that “a point in need is a point indeed”. May Conroy leaves her chemical library to Mary Plunkett, with the assurance that she will find it indispensable. To Betty Leitner, Helen Lauer, Mary Ryan, and Helen Renaud, we have drawn plans for a new annex to the Living Room, where they may practice un- hindered the South American Tango, the Ritz, and the latest in dance steps. To the Misses Cursons, Jolley and Sweeney, we bequeath a well-lighted under- ground passage to the vill., that their trips may be undisturbed. To the literary staff of 1924’s Annales, the passing members of the staff of 1923 leave the traditions, principles, and customs of the Alpha Nu Omicron. As a parting and fitting gift, we leave to Mother M. Xavier the flagpole on which she may daily raise the standard of the College.
