BAKER, JONES HAUSAUER. INC. B U F F A L O N , Y. The Tower Soft moonlight’s flecked thy mighty walls With shadows silver and black; The suns of more than a hundred years Have widened thy spreading crack ; God’s tears have christened thee. A feudal lord, thou hadst no lack Of power or of pride; Severe did’st rule the common pack. The ivy clings with loving touch To stones worn smooth by age. Grey phantom from a storied past, Why brood’st thou like a sage? Art lonely for the days agone When gaiety was thy wage. When song rang long and laughter loud, Within thy memr’y’s page? Thy very walls refute the slur, Whose calm and peaceful mien For four long years has strengthened us To meet the life now seen, Though dimly, through the mist of tears. Uncompromising thou hast been, But ever pointing straight To skies above our campus green. ANNALES The Administration of the College of New Rochelle BOARD OF OFFICERS Right Reverend Monsignor John P.

B., Dun- woodie 1909; Catholic University, 1912-1914, S. T. B., Cath- olic University, 1913, J. C. B., Catholic University, 1914. Professor of Philosophy “Come to me all you that labor and are heavily burdened and I will refresh you. Father Brady is at once our adviser and our friend. His unflinching justice and unbiased judgment forbid us to deviate in the least from the path of duty and honor. His conscientious attention to study gives us a living example of the perfection of mind we aspire to. With him, comfort and refreshment await all who would unburden themselves of sorrow and cares, be they great or small. To Father Brady we freely tender our deepest reverence, our sincerest respect, and our constant love and admiration. 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 Modern 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 A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or touch not the Pierian Spring!” What greater or better example of the value of this proverb have we than Dr. Walsh? A man of unusual wisdom in many and varied fields, he indeed inspires us and offers a tempting incentive for the higher, nobler things of life. How often have we wondered — yea, marveled, — at the magnitude of his learning, only the more to realize how honored we are to find ourselves even a tiny interest in his life! Dr. Walsh has studied medi- cine, and in this, as in all else he has undertaken, he has met with great success. Literature, too, has called him, and as the author of many works, both scientific and historical, he has attained great renown. Author, lecturer, philosopher, his presence on our Faculty has indeed given New Rochelle a singular prestige. Ten Language Miss Mary Edla Tibbits A.B., Barnard, 1907. Professor of English As a teacher, Miss Tibbits’ prime interest is in facts as a basis for intellectual development. Her motto is “be definite and explicit.” We have con- cluded that complete and extensive courses do not comprise facts alone. Diversified knowledge, broad- minded opinions and frequent witticisms characterize her lectures. We regard most highly her impartiality and receive with pride her appreciation of good work. Miss Tibbits, herself, is an example of all that she expects from her pupils. We could not find a more capable adviser and authority on all subjects. The Student Body extends to her its appreciation of her many and constant endeavors for the advancement of the College of New Rochelle. John M. Loughran A.B., New York University, 1907, A.M., New York University, 1908, Graduate Student, New York University, 1909-1915. Associate Professor of English All Truth is of God. It is now a rugged boulder, now a diamond exquisitely cut. At college we behold many views of it, exposed by this professor and that. To Professor Loughran, “Truth is beauty; beauty, truth.” His favorite expression of it is poesy; hence he speaks in numbers, for the numbers come. To him, your poet is your true prophet, and so, with enthusiasm, he leads us into the fields of song, kindles our imagination, beats out the rhythm, and reveals the local habitations and names of those airy noth- ings, which, but now, were uncreate except in the alembic of the poet’s mind. ANNALES Language Twelve Miss Renata Marie Remy A.B., Hunter College. Associate Professor of English, Miss Remy has been gifted with that wonderful quality — enthusiasm. As she descends from her place on the platform to become one of us, something of her energy seems to be communicated to the class. A lively discussion is almost sure to follow, and we know that this discussion will not be abandoned until complete understanding prevails. Perhaps it is this unusual combination of thoroughness and vividness that makes Miss Remy such a distinctly different person. In Miss Remy’s class we receive an immediate gain in our store of knowledge. Moreover, she points the way so that we may continue to improve when we are no longer guided by her. Sister Aquinas A.B., New Rochelle, iqi3, New Rochelle, jqi8-iq; Columbia, i q 20; A. M., New Rochelle, iq2 1 ; Fordham, Associate Professor of English What is nobility in woman? And what are its numerous and everlasting sources? Who will write the volume to answer these questions — well, who needs to, that has known Sister Aquinas? She is the volume herself, whose every page is a glory. Full of the deepest sympathy and understanding, she is ex- amplar, mother, sister, friend and pal, a helping guide through all the intricacies of college life. She possesses a deep appreciation of all that is truly great and good, and seeks to show us that good and prepare us to face the world with a ready mind. Because of her quick and surprising wit, her class periods are always a joy, and her influence will ever be felt as if a strong chain had become a gentle radiance, but still to bind. M Language Miss Miriam Little Simons F. F. Mackay, National Conservatory of Dramatic Art, 1898- 1908; Columbia, 1919-20. Professor of Oral English What is so beautiful as our noble language well spoken. What sooner or surer discovers true culture in its possessor than chaste and classic language, modulated by a gentle voice. Miss Simons labors without ceasing to bestow this great boon, one of the choicest, upon those of us who seek this stamp of refinement. And, too, she teaches by example as by precept. Her ability is undoubted, and much of the success of the Mid-Year Play was due to her true sympathies and able qualities as coach. She is quick to appreciate and acknowledge good work, and her class periods are lightened by a fund of good humor. Miss Helen Casey A.B., New Rochelle, 1918. Instructor in Oral English Miss Casey has undertaken the very difficult task of carrying on the work of Mrs. Davis. With the characteristic enthusiasm and vitality of youth, she has assumed command and has guided the Oral English Department beyond this first crisis in its existence. Her vigor inspires and urges us to ac- complish something very definite and worthwhile in this most elusive art. Miss Casey possesses the sort of charm that is not easily characterized. Her speech is a joy. Hers is a nature that cannot endure inaction. In experience she is far above us, yet we cannot help but feel that she is one of us. Thirteen Fourteen Language Philippe de la Rochelle Litt. B., St. Hyacinthe; Harvard, 1894-95; Instructor, Ro- mance Languages and Literature, University of Pennsylvania, 1905-12; Columbia, 1913-23 : Membre de la Societe Nationale de Professeurs de Franchise ; Member of the Modern Language Association of America; Member of the Harvard Law School Club. Professor of French One cannot classify Professor de la Rochelle as a type, for he is singularly an individual. He has a personality all his own; a combination of the jovial and the sincere. It is the charm of his vivid pre- sentation of ideas that makes his lectures so inter- esting. He is unquestionably a master of his native language. His easy and natural interpretations make the intricacies of French idioms and proverbs dis- appear. We will always think of him as the perfect gentleman. He has won our friendship for his interest in our college, and our admiration for his broadmindedness, brilliancy and general superiority of character. Professor Louis Campos College of the Escolapios Pamplona, 1898-1901; Yrache, 1901-06; College of St. Paul, Angouleme, 1908-10. Professor of Spanish High ideals are the keynote to Professor Campos’ character. Constancy to these ideals commands the respect of all. As an exponent of Spanish thoughts and ideas, he promotes a lively interest in his subject. Emphasis on important factors gives a definite back- ground, most essential to the acquirement of skill in modern languages. One of his finest qualities is his absolute sincerity. His democracy is worthy of high praise. Fair to others, he expects fairness in return. Such dominant characteristics cannot fail to win the admiration of Faculty and students. ANN ALES F. DeFrance Litt.B., University of Poitiers; L.L.M., University of Paris Professor of French Literature It is difficult to picture in a few words the many admirable qualities of Professor Defrance. Duty is his foremost thought. His very actions instil this ideal into the hearts of his pupils. Prompt and strict attention to work and a whole-hearted interest in his subject do not fail to bring unusual results. To hear him speak is a lesson in itself. His eloquence makes us understand the beauty and art of the French language. Serious moods are often relieved by a delicate and gentle humor. The Faculty and students have found in Professor Defrance an ideal instructor. Maximilian von der Porten Berlin, Lausanne, Heidelberg, 1887-1902; Ph.D., Heidelberg, 1902; Romance Languages and Philology, University of Paris, 1902-1905; Oriental Languages and Literature, Vien na and Budapest, 1906-1907. Professor of Romance Languages A gentleman of courtly and courteous demeanor, bespeaking profound culture and learning, briefly depicts Professor von der Porten. To the casual observer, he is aloof, even rather unapproachable, but to those students who are fortunate enough to be enrolled in his classes, he is decidedly sympathetic, sincerely interested in their efforts and kindly solici- tous for their welfare. He teaches with an earnestness that is all-absorbing, putting his whole-hearted efforts into the endeavor of bringing forth in his pupil the best results. New Rochelle is proud to be able to inscribe on her Faculty banner the name of a man of such high ideals and rare ability. Fifteen , fftw L a 7 ANNALES Language Language Sister Marie de Lourdes A.B., New Rochelle, 1924. Instructor in French, Although Sister Marie de Lourdes has only re- cently become a member of our Faculty, still we feel that we know her. Quiet in her manner, sweet and tranquil in her nature, and of a pleasing disposition, she has won the friendship of many. In her in- struction in the French language, she appeals to the aesthetic element rather than the practical, and brings out the beauty and soft tones of the speech of that country. Capable of an intensity and earnest- ness that all admire and few can emulate, she also possesses that innate quality that draws people to her in close friendship, and through her sincerity she has endeared herself to many. August Steitz A. B., New York University, 1905 ; A.M., Yale, 1906; Columbia, 1906-1910; Research Scholar, Germany, 1912-1913; Ph D., New York University, 1914. Professor of German “Machen Sie das Buch zu” — who, of Professor Steitz’ classes, does not remember that? Then, to make it clearer, ’‘Close the book a little,” — and a little they are generally closed. Although his patience is often severely tried, the professor almost invari- ably remains imperturbable and kindly of manner. He drags us through “Tell” and other classics, and although he must often wince at our mangling of the translation, he bears up nobly to all outward appearances. It is with sincere regret that we leave him, for the professor has the knack of making his classes interesting and amusing. He has a dry humor which keeps things lively, and in spite of the fact that we often disagree with him, for instance, as to the respective merits of German and American writers, we enjoy our little debates immensely. Sixteen Seventeen ANN ALES Language Mother Loyola To describe Mother Loyola adequately! ! ! Rather impossible, for in her are blended innumerable ex- cellencies of grace and virtue which, in conjunction with the more dominant qualities of her character, make her an ever-guiding and forceful factor in the lives of all with whom she comes in contact. She is the embodiment of one of Alma Maters most cher- ished ideals— that of noble womanhood. As Asso- ciate Dean, Mother Loyola typifies a great deal more than a mere disciplinarian. To her, life has given a broader, more extensive field of work — one from which she offers us council founded on years of experience, sympathy and encouragement, as well as example and help in learning the fundamentals of that which Mother Loyola has already achieved — the character of a perfect lady. Miss Teresa Adelaide Carbonara A.B., Barnard, 1920; A.M., Columbia, 1921. Instructor in Latin Miss Carbonara came to us a few years ago — tiny, to be sure, but fairly amazing to the bewildered Latin and French students who viewed her quaint, viva- cious manner with a certain indescribable awe. A veritable Caesar she descended on her classes and, like him, she came, she saw, and she conquered. With an obvious love for the cultural as the outstanding feature in her classes, Miss Carbonara offers an efficient inspiration which results in a complete mas- tery of the subject in question by her pupils. We admire Miss Carbonara, not only for her superiority in intellectual matters but also for the complete and perfect discipline found wherever she presides. A.B., New Rochelle, 1908. Associate Dean History Parker T. Moon ANNALES B.S., Columbia, 1913, Ph D. Columbia, 1921; Expert at the Peace Conference, Paris; Author of “Catholic Social Move- ment in France”; Co-Author with Carlton J. H. Hayes of “Introduction to World Politics.” Professor of History “Is there a great deal of romance in history?” The present-day students of New Rochelle who have studied “World Politics” at the college will readily give their affirmation to this question. The “doubt- ing Thomases” have only to witness the Tuesday afternoon rush to “the Great War,” to believe Pro- fessor Moon. Possessing a rich vocabulary, a keen intellect, and a thorough knowledge of his subject, he brings before the mind ' s eye the world’s stage of historical events, and bids fair to carry the student into the affairs of tomorrow. On account of his sense of the poetic and his sympathetic imagination, as well as his charming personality, he will always be remembered by the students and Faculty. Dr. John J. Schuler A.B., German Wallace, 1891; Johns Hopkins, 1901-1904; Ph.D. Columbia, 1908. Professor of History Here is Bacon’s full man; ready man; exact man. Eminent qualities of heart and mind and a wealth of experience make him the ideal professor. He com- mands respect because of his great and varied learn- ing; inspires through his teaching, which not only illuminates his subject but creates the desire for knowledge, and convinces his students of his sym- pathy for them who are at the beginning of the long road of erudition down which he has gone so far. Dr. Schuler may be assured that those who have sat at his feet will remember him with gratitude and affection as a real teacher and a genuine man. History Sister Gertrude B.A., New Rochelle, 1915; M. A., Fordham, 1919. Instructor in History It is most regrettable that our acquaintance with Sister Gertrude has had to be so brief, for even after a year with her we can hardly claim her very intimate friendship. True, the greater part of us have come into contact with her, if not as regards that stum- bling-block, Education, then in the mazes of Colonial and Church History. It is, then, in the classroom that we have known her best, but the year has been a short one and this is not nearly enough. For us, it has been a year filled with the pleasantest associations; for her, we cannot answer with any certainty, but we can only hope that it has left kind thoughts of us and that we have helped in some small way to make Sister Gertrude ' s initial year as instructress at the College of New Rochelle happy as well as profitable. 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 Department of Economics, Tufts College, 1900-1917; Columbia University; Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology. Professor of Personnel Administration Dr. Metcalf, though a more or less recent acqui- sition to our Faculty, has already proven himself an invaluable asset to it. A man of unusual attainment in the economic world, he has suffused our own com- paratively meager knowledge with colorful rays from his personal and altogether interesting experience. A widely known authority in Personnel work, he has written, co-operatively, one of the greatest books in this branch of economic science. Only those of us who have actually studied with Dr. Metcalf can truly appreciate his innumerable good qualities. He has given himself to the noble work of bettering society, and this in itself is our highest and most sincere tribute to him. r { S ' ] T 1 F ' f ! t VJ W 1 u , eP m -4 BS Nineteen ANNALES 1 Business Edward J. Quinn B.C.S., New York University. Professor of Commercial Law and Accounting By virtue of his incomparable fund of ready-to- order stories and witticisms, Professor Quinn has, without the slightest effort on his part, gained a very special place in the hearts of the N. R. C. girls. His affable manner and constant quips about the fair sex have endeared him to every member of his classes, but, best of all, is the assurance that for work well done in his subjects there is the guarantee of a reasonably ample reward. Play fair with Professor Quinn and he does the same by you. If this popular professor has faults which have escaped our attention, they must be very likable ones, indeed, for — taking everything into consideration — he is just the nicest possible Prof. Quinn. Miss Elizabeth Doran B.S., New Rochelle, iqi8. Instructor in Stenography and Typewriting In the heart of each B. S. student as she leaves New Rochelle, one of the most poignant and deeply- imprinted memories of her Alma Mater is Miss Doran. Tenseness, speed, and endurance characterize her, so she is by nature and training a capable and qualified teacher of the difficult art of stenography. Moreover, she is so thorough-going, herself, that little short of perfection meets her requirements. The high grade of excellence of the B. S. students is proverbial, and we predict that New Rochelle will become noted for her court-stenographers and secretaries, the living product of Miss Doran ' s sincere desire to see her pupils excel. Twenty ANNALES Science William J. McAuliffe A.B., St. Francis Xavier, 1905; Columbia, 191 3-1914. Professor of Science The cause of Science at New Rochelle finds an extremely lively exponent in Professor McAuliffe. His cheerful witticisms and good-natured gallantry shorten many a tedious late-afternoon period. Pos- sessing a personal interest in all of his students, the Professor is always on the alert to share his know- ledge and the benefit of his wide experience with them. A versatile man and an extremely capable teacher, he is able to secure and hold the attention of his classes. Considering his many merits, it is not surprising that Professor McAuliffe possesses a host of friends at New Rochelle. Rocco Fanelli B.S., Columbia, 1918, M. A., Columbia, 1919, Ph.D., Columbia, 1923. Professor of Science Science, that intricate maze which leads us from the beaten paths of knowledge into its byways! However, with Dr. Fanelli as guide and director, hidden paths become as open roads. His classes are characterized by an atmosphere of exactness and briskness. We neither dare nor care to be superficial. There is no abhorrence of the subject in our hearts, for in our minds there is understanding. Dr. Fanelli possesses youth and enthusiasm; his brilliance gleams forth and seems to kindle a kindred fire in us. We are glad to welcome Dr. Fanelli to New Rochelle, and we hope that he will remain with us for a long time to come. Twenty-one HJj Pedagogy Joseph M. Kaine New Paltz Normal School, 1906; A.B., New York University, 1910, A.M., New York University, 1912. Professor of Educational Psychology Professor Kaine is one of those fortunate few who, possessing a perfect understanding of human nature and gifted with a magnetic personality, can hold the attention and interest of a class without seeming effort. His smoothly -polished and well-balanced sentences convey his ideas clearly to the students, and carry with them conviction. He is an idealist, yet a man with a keen intellect which pierces through the veil of abstractions, removes the essence of the thing and presents it, bare and sharply-defined, to the students. Besides the above qualities, Professor Kaine owns many others which contribute to his success as a teacher and which account for the deep liking and respect in which he is held by his classes. Twenty-two ANNALES John G. Condon A.B., College of the City of New York, 1892; Pd.M., New York University, 1902, Pd.D., New York University, 1904. Professor of Education Brilliant, highly progressive, and intensely alive, Professor Condon endeavors to inculcate in us the principles of successful teaching. Professor Condon s specialty, General Methods, is a two-hour period, and it comes late in the afternoon, from which one would naturally infer that it would be rather tire- some, but, on the contrary, the time flies unnoticed in the general atmosphere of vivid alertness and attention with which the professor manages to sur- round his students. Nothing escapes the observance of his vigilant gaze (indeed, at times, he seems almost omniscient), but while his wit is keen and amusing, it is never cutting. We may consider ourselves most fortunate to have the benefit of association with such a man, who is considered to be one of the best repre- sentatives of the teaching profession. Pedagogy Flancis H. Paul B.A., College of the City of New York, 1897; Pd.M., New York University, 1902, Pd.D., New York University, 1903 Professor of Pedagogy Dr. Paul awes us and leaves us almost without words to express his charm. His personality is force- ful and compelling, yet he is gentle in impulse. Under his able direction, new avenues of knowledge are opened up to us. We become engrossed in his pre- sentation of the subject, and the bell which dismisses us finds us loath to leave. Dr. Paul will have no shirkers in his class, for our interest is such that attention follows of its own accord. We shall always think of Dr. Paul with affection and gratitude, for he has given us something that we prize most highly — a part of himself. Sociology Mother Xavier A.B., New Rochelle, 1909; Columbia, 1910-1911, 1913-1914 A.M., Columbia, 1914. Professor of Economics and Sociology “None knew her, but to love her; Nor named her, but to praise.” Quaint, sincere, with a never-to-be-forgotten smile, Mother Xavier is loved by everyone. Her entire absence of self-interest, as well as her unique char- acteristics and distinctive manner, make her an in- dividual. As a teacher, she shows great powers of observation, earnestness, and an unmeasured capa- bility. Through her universal appeal and magnetic enthusiasm, she incites the students to perform their obligations in a less perfunctory manner, and arouses in their hearts a desire to achieve the highest in everything they attempt. Twenty-three ANNALES uiuiiim Mathematics ANN ALES Twenty-four James h Conway A.B., Loyola, Baltimore, 1905; LL.B., Fordham, iqoq. Professor of Mathematics The difficulties of Math are many and perplexing but with Professor Conway as teacher, we find it easier to plod through the problems of Higher Math- ematics. It is his singularly analytical mind, his vast area of experience, combined with a definite method of presentation, which make such a strong and direct appeal to his students. His insistence on particulars is a result of efficiency and thoroughness. Ability to see and to understand the student’s point of view is his salient characteristic. Those who do not know him have missed the influence of a man of sterling character and the guidance of a true mathematician. Arthur Burton Hussey A. B , Bates, 1914; A. M., Brown, IQ15. Professor of Mathematics and Sciences If we were asked to give our conception of an ideal teacher of Mathematics and Science, we would un- hesitatingly name Professor Hussey. He is an earnest man, exacting, particular, and exceedingly conscien- tious in his efforts to introduce the student mind to advanced Mathematics and Physics. Thoroughly con- versant with his subjects himself, he sometimes fails to comprehend the difficulties which they offer to the average class. Nevertheless, he is invariably found ready and willing to explain, and to aid his pupils in every possible way. Absolutely impersonal in his attitude, just and impartial toward all, Professor Hussey has won the sincere liking and the highest respect of all the girls. ANNALES Mathematics Mother Cephas A.B., New Rochelle, 1908; A.M., Columbia, Professor of Mathematics A keenness of mathematical precision, firmness and a sense of justice in all transactions, a royal good sportsmanship in athletic discussions as well as a supreme desire to see right and justice prevail, make Mother Cephas the admirable instructor, moderator, and athletic arbiter of New Rochelle. To develop the potentialities of her students, in Math, sports or in whatsoever field claims their interest, is her un- tiring ambition. To her has been given that in- explicable something that wins the confidence and secures the whole-hearted co-operation and support of the girls. Mother Cephas’ increasing friendships in every outgoing class speak sufficiently of the ap- preciation and popularity of one of New Rochelle’s finest personalities. Physical Education Miss Edna Meyer Savage School of Physical Education 1918; New York Uni- versity, 1918, 1919, 1920. Instructor in Physical Training If you seek a teacher who is good to look upon and who is in perfect harmony with her classes, you have reached your goal — in Miss Meyer. She has a remarkable talent for discipline, combined with a calm, even disposition that is inclined to overlook trifles and to stress worth-while things. It is a genuine pleasure just to observe Miss Meyer, an education to watch her, and a piece of the greatest good fortune to be in the circle of her favored friends. She has the added distinction of being not only very near to “the girls’’ but also of being very dear to them. In short, Miss Meyer is a highly individual person, endowed with traits which make her a most popular and appreciated member of our Faculty and, to speak in metaphor, a rare gem of womanhood, copies of which serve only to make the original dearer. Hygienic Administration Carol T. Stevens M.D., Columbia. College Physician Dr. Stevens will never grow old, for he is young at heart. His optimism seems to awaken a kindred hope in us. We freely bring our mental troubles as well as our physical ills to Dr. Stevens, and his generous assistance is always forthcoming. His kindly, sparkling blue eyes and his ever-ready smile spell comfort and reassurance. The simplicity of his personality defies analysis, and this very lack of affectation and pretension wins all who are fortunate enough to know him. By his loving service, Dr. Stevens has become a favorite with the Faculty as well as with the students of the college. Miss Keane Ursuline College, Waterford, Ireland; Mater Misericordiae Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. In the new mistress of our Infirmary we find a lady hard to “write up” and at the same time not the least bit hard to know. It is by virtue of her “quality of mercy” that we first came to know this pleasant- voiced lady with the soothing touch, and it is by her quality of friendliness that we came to know her more intimately. Through the magnetic power of her nature, both Faculty and Student Body have come to regard Miss Keane with the highest regard — at all times and under the most trying circumstances. Twenty-six ANNALES B.A., M.A. Administration Mother Ignatius Dean Perhaps the diplomats who are unable to come to an agreement on the settlement of the Ruhr question might learn a lesson in diplomacy from Mother Ignatius. Endowed with unfailing discretion in the control of the college, inherent justice, and a re- markable sense of humor, the Dean has won the hearts of her students. Her good judgment and untiring energy are greatly to be admired and praised as well as her unusual facility for uniting the college factions. These few words are the keynote to her individuality:— “Gently to hear; kindly to judge.” Sister Philomena College Librarian When you are in search of a volume to help in some outside work, call on Sister Philomena. She will smilingly come to your aid and produce the desired book. Sister Philomena has done much for the students. Through her, the library, the key to knowledge, has been made accessible to all. She seems to know just what readings are assigned for each course and to have them right on hand for the tardy worker. To Sister Philomena we offer our sincere appreciation of the untiring service that she renders to us. Twenty-seven VUr Music Composer, organist and choral conductor; Studied with Filipp Capocci, Rome; with Solesmes Benedictine Monks, Isle of Wight. Instructor in Music Twenty-eight Nicola Montani To Nicola Montani must be awarded some of the laurels due to those artists who are untiring in their effort to effect a more general, widespread appre- ciation of the truly artistic in church music. He is endeavoring to make known the music lore of past ages, to acquaint all with the beautiful and colorful in this field. Mr. Montani came to New Rochelle only this year, yet he has established himself in stu- dent opinion as an extremely valuable and interesting instructor ; one whose classes are not only entertaining but also cultural and thoroughly enjoyable. Madame Alma Webster Powell Mus.B., Columbia University; LL.B., N. Y. University; Ph.D., Columbia University; Studied in St. Petersburg, Paris, London, Berlin, Milan and New York. Instructor in Voice We are indeed fortunate in numbering among the Faculty of our Music Department, Madame Powell. She has had a wonderful career as artist and teacher. In the first role, she has enjoyed great success in Metropolitan Grand Opera, and in recitals before large audiences in Europe and America. As a teacher, her fame is widespread. Her work at the college is a testimonial of her ability. Her pupils show re- markable progress and artistic development. Mad- ame Powell has a charming personality which com- mands respect as well as devotion. ANNALES Twenty-nine Music Miss Veronica Govers Mme. Luisa Cappiani, 1905-1907; Rodi-Fiesso, Switzerland; Alberta Randegger, London, 1908; Lecturer on Music in Department of Education, New York City, 1909-1916. Instructor in Voice Among the Musical Faculty of the College of New Rchoelle we number Miss Govers, an earnest worker in the art of voice-culture. Miss Govers has b£en with us long enough to enable us to fully appreciate her interest in us and in our musical work. Her pupils feel that she is not only an instructor but also a sincere helper and encourager of their efforts. She is ever the enthusiastic musician and progressive teacher. Warner M. Hawkins Columbia, 1906-1907; Ernesto Consolo, Lugano, Italy; Mrs. Edward MacDowell, Dr. Goetchius, New York; Diploma in Piano, Institute of Musical Art, 1912, in Theory, 1914, In- structor, Institute of Musical Art, 1916. Professor of Theory of Music We are very proud to have among us as finished an artist as Professor Hawkins. The praise his con- certs in New York have received show that his genius is appreciated not only by us but by fellow- musicians, musical critics, and an enthusiastic public. His pupils are remarkable for their technique,- not outstanding so as to mar the sense or emotional appeal but rather serving as an enhancing back- ground. Conscientious, thoughtful, with a delightful sense of humor, that expresses our impression of Professor Hawkins as a man ; as a musician, we know him as faultless in technique, brilliant in tone- coloring, and always lovably human. ANNALES Music N. Stuart Smith Institute of Musical Art, New York, 1 905-1906; Dr. Goetchius M. Stojowski, F. N. Reisberg, New York, 1904-1906; Madame Zeisler, Chicago, 1906-1908. Professor of Piano Music is a . gift bestowed on only a few of us. This characteristic exclusiveness is, therefore, the reason why we do not all know Professor Smith better, and ours is indeed the loss. A master is he in all that pertains to this divine art, and our music students are exceedingly fortunate in having such a gifted instructor. His success as a composer makes us wonder that he should care to act as an instructor to those less proficient. Perhaps it is his nobility of spirit or perhaps his great love for his art that prompts him to act as an invaluable agent in its dissemination. At any rate, we are proud to number Professor Smith among the Faculty of our Music Department. Sister Bernadette Instructor in Music Sister Bernadette truly has a “hotel heart,” for she loves one and all the same. We can always depend on Sister for comfort and affection. Sister’s forte is music. Most of her time is spent in giving piano lessons. Still she finds time to conduct a class of Seniors in the teaching of singing. We know Sister Bernadette best as the perfect house-mistress, and it is as such that we like best to think of her. Of her we say: “To know her is to love her.” SlEGMUND GROSSKOPF Diploma-Raff Conservatory, Frankfort-on-Main, Germany, ] 897-1902 ; Hoch Conservatory, Frankfort-on-Main, Germany, 1902-1904; Member of Hamburg Philharmonic; Musical Director with Henry W. Savage, 1910-1912. Professor of Violin Practically since the founding of the college, Pro- fessor Grosskopf has been associated with its Music Department, so that now he seems to us to be “an integral part of a splendid whole.” His pupils find him untiring in his efforts, never-failing in sympathy, enthusiastic, and always musical. More than that, he carries his work beyond the mere narrow circle of his pupils to the college activities in general. It is to him and his guidance that we owe, in a great measure, the marked success of our musical clubs. To us, he will ever be in the future what he has been in the past — a help and an inspiration. Miss Mozelle Bennett Instructor in Violin Too often we are allowed to offer admiration only at a distance and at times “few and far between”; in regard to Miss Bennett, our gracious and talented violinist, this is the one great drawback. Her ap- pearances at our college concerts are short and proverbially sweet, causing all to marvel at her skill, succumb to her appeal, and hope for a totally impos- sible number of encores. In Miss Bennett’s hands the violin is a magnet, drawing all hearts to her and working all kinds of “white magic” on her audience. Maybe our enjoyment is all the keener for being packed into such brief spaces of time, but we regret the necessity which prevents Miss Bennett’ s more frequent visits to us and keeps her in the position of a transient visitor at N. R. C. Mother Agnes ANNALES Music A.B., New Rochelle, 1908, B.M., New Rochelle, 1920; Dr. Wm. Mason, 1898-1900; A. K. Virgil, 1913-1917; Warner M. Hawkins, 1917-1921. Instructor in Piano The history of the Music Department would be far from complete without a tribute to one who, since its beginning, has been its “guiding star to success” — Mother Agnes. It is she who has raised the Music Department to the degree of excellency it now claims. The illustrious list of names we are proud to put under the title, “The Faculty of the Music Department,” is there because of her efforts. But the music students are not the only ones who are indebted to her; the college-in-general will never forget the many delightful evenings spent listening to the artistes brought here by Mother Agnes. All we can wish her is the fulfillment of her own dreams and the just reward of her work — “Success.” Sister Clotilde Piano, A.K. Virgil, 1910-1911; Mrs. Carrie F. Dunning; voice, William Shaw, Harry Fellows, Buffalo; Madame Renard, 1921-1922; organ, Andrew T. Webster, Buffalo. Instructor in Voice and Piano We count Sister Clotilde, with Mother Agnes, as a pioneer in our Music Department. In co-operation with Mother Agnes she has worked untiringly for its advancement since its earliest beginning. The mark- ed success of her pupils is evidence of her ability as a teacher, while the Glee Club, which has reached its present high standard under her direction, is but another example of her “many-sidedness” as a suc- cessful musician. We feel, however, that she expresses her personality best in her position as organist and director of the Choir. Inspiring as her music, are her high ideals, her gentle manner, and her exalted love of her work which, “like a thing of beauty” will be “a joy forever” ; it will never pass into nothingness. i A 1924 Banner Song Tempo E- Refrain !nc)ante Cantab e J J. ft , J h , 1 j -i.i „T J- J l i —A ff 1 4 r £ r f £ F v r A J J r j J = J J ■ ' • j j =Mi «f! :=■ ' ■ -4 H — rip Hm Rochelle J our r r r R Alma PI a.

The members include the Dean, the Associate Dean, five Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores, and two Freshmen. Composed, as it is, chiefly of members of the Student Body, democracy is its fundamental principle. The aim of the Advisory Board is to further the interests of the students and to uphold all college regulations. Questions concerning college affairs may be proposed to the members and made topics of discussion at the meetings. Thus the students ' opinions on many subjects are officially presented to the Faculty. In 1909, when New Rochelle first adopted the plan of Student Government, a problem of increasing importance was solved. Each year since then the organization has progressed until now it has attained a position of singular influence and prestige. Forty-six Sodality Gertrude McKiernan, Teresa Crimmin, ’24 Jean Klonoski, ’25 24 President Vice-President Treasurer The Sodality of the Children of Mary is the most important and most active religious organization in the college. Membership is open to all college students. The members must attend Mass three times a week and recite the Office once a month. As December eighth fell on a Saturday, the reception of Freshman members into the Sodality was postponed until later in the year. Then, Sodality medals were given to the new members and a party was given in their honor in the evening. Under the auspices of the Sodality and the League of the Sacred Heart, the monthly devotion of Holy Hour had its beginning this year. Devout and inspiring instructions were given by Dominican and Jesuit Fathers during the year. On the last Sodality Day, celebrated during Commencement Week, Sodality crosses were given to each Senior who had fulfilled all the requirements. To Sister Elizabeth, Moderator of the Sodality of the Children of Mary, we extend our sincere appreciation of her work. Forty-seven Alpha Alpha To be a member of the Philosophical Society of New Rochelle is a Senior honor and privilege. This society was first established by Father Halpin, more as an additional class in Philosophy than as an organized club. Membership was limited to Juniors and Seniors. Subjects of a philosophical nature, which were not dealt with in the classroom, were discussed at the meetings. At Father Halpin ' s death, the society was reorganized by Reverend Father Brady, our Chaplain, and has continued in its original course. Because of the increased number of students, the membership is now restricted to those Seniors who excelled in their work in Junior Philosophy. The group meets once a month, and papers on various philo- sophical subjects are read by the members and discussed. This society helps to develop the mind along philosophical lines, and the work it has accomplished is worthy of great praise.

Hindenlang, ’25 Business Manager The N. R. C. Press Club, under the combined direction of its Senior Adviser and co-editors, has had another successful year, both in literary output and in financial income. When we stop to consider that this literary society has been in working order for only the past two years and a half, it seems remarkable that in so short a space of time a real, newsy college publication has come into being. Had it not been for the keen interest of every member, this would not have been possible, for the slogan of the Press Club is always “when you think you’ve worked enough, work some more.” At the monthly meetings of the club, current books and plays are reviewed with the object of selecting and discussing the best aspects of the literary world. As a result, Press Club meetings are never boring; rather, each meeting means a “full house,” for the members look forward with real pleasure to getting together at a society, unique in that it is the only purely literary club in college and so symbolic of interest along literary lines.

Treasurer Mary Mackin .......... Secretary Three very short years ago, several members of the Class of ’24 banded to- gether for the purpose of founding what is now the Debating Society. They had been told frequently and emphatically that by their speech and manner of address would their fortunes be moulded. These enterprising young ladies determined that their respective “fortunes” should be worthy. There began a great floundering on the part of the young ones who were attempting to make their intercourse with one another systematic and profitable. Father Brady, after many entreaties on the part of the members, came to the aid of the society, and rescued it from de- struction. Under his kind and helpful guidance it has grown and flourished. The society is deeply grateful to Father Brady for his generous co-operation and assistance in its hour of need. ANNALES The Dramatic Society The Dramatic Society’s first production this year, the Sophomore Play, “Mice and Men,’’ was a fitting introduction to the glorious chapter of work which has been added to the history of the society this year. The play established more firmly the reputation for good acting which the Sophomores have held from their Freshman year. Just before Christmas the Juniors staged “Nance Oldfield’’ and “Why the Chimes Rang.’’ Both plays were excellent, but the latter was especially beautiful, heralding as it did the approach of Christmas. To make us feel even more the spirit of the “silent night,” the Choir sang Christmas carols — among them Berge’s “Christmas Chimes” — during the play. The Mid-Year Play was given in the Booth Theatre, New York City. It was, if possible, even a greater success than “Macbeth” was last year. The intricate, puzzling but always fascinating Hamlet was splendidly portrayed by Mary Dem- arest. We admired Aliys Dwyer’s acting as much as we always do in her character of the Queen. Frances Kelly was charming as Ophelia, and Mary Rice fulfilled perfectly our idea of Claudius, the King. Alice Lloyd as Horatio, Ethel Bruce as Polonius, and Mary Krimm as Laertes were splendid characters — all of them. Genevieve Shaughnessy as the first grave-digger and Helen Reynaud as the second grave-digger belied their occupation, for they gave us some of the best comedy we have ever seen. Other players who received a great deal of well-earned praise were Mary Moore as the Player King, Margaret Tracy as the Second Player, Grace Brennan as the Player Queen, Louise Carew as the Priest and Catherine Dwyer as the Ghost. Helen Gray as Francisco, Annamay Gorry as Marcellus, and Marian Fifty-six Ft Jr BJ mLjA ilANNALES 1!

With the rapid growth in the Student Body it has been possible to select only those persons who are the best fitted for membership, and such an exclusiveness tends towards making the members individually interested in the progress of an organization. This year, the Choir made its first public appearance at the presentation of the Junior Play, “Why the Chimes Rang,” and was received with a great ovation. During Passion Week, it appeared again and rendered a sacred concert. We have witnessed a great advance in the Choir during our four years here, and express a sincere wish for its unimpeded progress hereafter. Sixty HJK T AN MALES The Orchestra OFFICERS Edna Spies . Margaret Schmidt Genevieve Swint Dolores Schiffer Anna Moore President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Librarian The Orchestra is many-sided and, like a many-sided person, could not easily be dispensed with. Whether the music be needed for a party, a tea, or a play, the Orchestra is always ready to supply it, and unfailingly fills the need remarkably well. Last February, when the Dramatic Society gave Hamlet in the Booth Theatre, the Orchestra, under the able direction of Edna Spies, won new laurels for itself by its unusual and excellent program. The greatest part of the success of the Orchestra can be directly traced to the enthusiasm, energy, and general musician- ship of Edna Spies who has directed it for the past two years. Glee Club Gretchen Geary .... President Celeste Harrison .... Vice-President Mary Hauenstein .... Treasurer Dot Bailey ..... Secretary The Glee Club is one of the oldest and best established clubs in the college. Yearly it increases in size and endeavor. Twenty-five new members were admitted in the annual try-out of last October, and a special committee, composed of repre- sentatives from each class, now governs the large membership. The club meets weekly and practices choruses, glees and duets. It is the source of some of the most enjoyable entertainments of the year. A light opera was presented this year, and the Columbia and New York University Glee Clubs visited us with good pro- grams. Through the influence of Sister M. Clotilde, the Moderator, the services of Mr. Montani have been secured as coach. He is a very capable and engaging artist and has been invaluable in his instructions. Sixty-two ANNALES ANNALES Instrumental Club Virginia Beegan, 24 . Claire Fitzgerald, ’25 Irene Carleton, ’26 Marion Weiss, ' 26 Mother Agnes President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer . Moderator Under the very efficient guidance of Miss Virginia Beegan, ’24, the combined Mandolin and Ukelele Clubs have accomplished a great deal in the past year. The new instructor, Mr. William Foden of New York City, has assisted greatly in reorganizing the club, and in addition to his regular weekly lesson has spent con- siderable time in arranging special music for the club. During the course of the past year, the members of both Mandolin and Ukelele Clubs have been carefully trained in preparation for the big event of the musical year, the Commencement Week Concert, which, as usual, was a tremendous success, due to the spirit of co-operation shown by the girls. The progress of the organization can readily be seen by the fact that since last year membership has increased from thirty-five to sixty-five. We feel sure that, with the splendid record of this year as an encouragement, the club will continue to make rapid progress in the years to come. Sixty-three ANNALES ! Musical Organization Edna Spies President Dolores Schiffer ....... Vice-President Catherine Rice ........ Treasurer Dorothy Cassedy ...... Secretary The Musical Organization, under which name the Caecilians is now known, is one of the most active clubs in the college. The Caecilians was founded in the Fall of 1922 by Mother M. Agnes. Through her endeavor a group of music students was assembled and they were made Charter Members. Officers were elected and the society was firmly established. Affairs were conducted smoothly from the beginning. In the Spring of 1923, the Caecilians presented their initial undertaking — “Pinafore.” An appreciative and enthusiastic audience witnessed the per- formance, and it was without doubt one of the most successful entertainments of the college year. In the Fall of 1923, the Caecilians started anew with fresh plans, and the second year has proved to be as great a success as the preceding one. The object of the society is to create a fund by which the best artists may be secured for the college concert programs. Under the guidance of Miss Veronica Govers and the patronage of Mother Agnes, this organization is well fitted to fulfill its high ambition. Sixty-four nrmro The Reapers ANNALES Kathleen O’Connell, ’24 Helen Kolbe, ’25 Mary Meagher, ’26 Sister Aquinas . President Vice-President . Treasurer . Moderator When the Rt. Rev. Monsignor John J. Dunn, D.D., founded the Catholic Foreign Mission League, he was confronted with a serious problem, namely, the general indifference of Americans toward the missions. The Juniors and Seniors of the seven catholic colleges of Greater New York were chosen as active members. They attend the semi-annual meetings of the league and visit the schools in the archdiocese. Our Mission Club, The Reapers, is directly connected with the league. To carry on the work in fields afar, we adopted Catechists, made altar linens, and did all that we were able in a financial way. To bring the attention of the students more forcefully toward the necessity of this work, several very interesting lectures were held in the Gym. They were enjoyable as well as instructive. The whole-hearted enthusiasm of the officers and the generous efforts of Sister Aquinas, the Moderator, made this a banner year for The Reapers. Sixty-five ANNALES Le Cercle Francais Sixty-six In the Spring of 1923, a new club was formed and came to the fore with aston- ishing rapidity. This new organization was a French Club, Le Cercle Frangais, and because of its high grade of excellence and its artistic promise it has been a welcome addition to the college world here in New Rochelle. The membership is limited to fifty, and the purpose of the organization is to perfect written and spoken French and to co-operate with other colleges in this endeavor. Professor Defrance is a most able and enthusiastic promoter. Under his influence, within a few months of its formation the club made its debut in the social life of the college. A program of song and dance and of French drama was presented before a critical audience. The club proved its worth and has advanced by leaps and bounds. Outside speakers are secured at regular intervals to address the members, and the financial way is made smooth by a committee of twenty-five women from New Rochelle who offer yearly the proceeds of two bridge-luncheons. The college is justly proud of her artistic club and watches eagerly for its future development. President Secretary Treasurer Frances Kelly . Rosanna McDonough Marie O’Reilly . Athletics The Athletic Association Mary Moore Rosanna McDonough Margaret Kamp . Alice Jolley President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Athletic Association has held its usual prominent ranking among N. R. C. organizations this past year. It numbers within its wide membership those of every class who are desirous of making athletics one of the big activities in college life. Under the efficient guidance of Mother Cephas, its Moderator, and Mary Moore, its inspiring president, the association has endeavored to give students ample opportunity to display the cleaner, finer qualities of good sportsmanship. The Interclass games formed a series of stirring and rousing contests — rival teams fighting valiantly for coveted victory; rival classes outcheering each other in enthusiasm; rival banners vying in vividness on the somber background of Gym walls ! The introduction of hockey was enthusiastically acclaimed, and the game met with instantaneous support. Just another instance of the practical application of the principles of the association — new fields of sports to bring about a refined spirit of rivalry in clean, exhilarating play. S ixty -eight i sir Ik Ljhflis Grfhfi ANNALES I Alumnae Team The Alumnae Team, our representative in the world outside, upholds our reputation as one of the representative colleges of Greater New York. This sturdy band has played teams from other colleges and has usually come up victorious as well as smiling. The players are fast and sure, but at the same time clean-cut and sportsmanlike. It is with bated breath that we watch them rush on the floor. Sometimes, indeed, we think them a bit too relentless, for did they not overcome our own unrivaled Varsity ? So, we say, here’s to the Alumnae and its excellent team. Sixty-nine ANNALESl AMNALES Varsity Team There is always a great spirit of unison prevalent when we witness a Varsity game. True, this spirit is all too rare, but then that makes it all the more enjoyable when it is present. To say that our Varsity is a splendid team would be putting it much too mildly, for after all is it not made up of the “best of the best ’ ? Words are but a mean attempt at praise for our noble college team, for the truest impression of its worth may be gained only through actually witnessing its work on the basketball court. They are indeed worthy of great praise — these wearers of the blue “N.R.C. — and it is our confident trust that having attained their present high standard they will continue in the future to press sturdily onward and upward. ANNALES Senior Team Our pride and joy! For four years they have led us to hard-fought victory and gamely-lost defeat; through the flush of joyful triumph and the depression of vanquishment. For our team is not infallible. They have lost games as well as won them, though we can say with truth that the percentage of losses is small compared with that of the victories. Our representatives — they hold the floor — alert, vigor- ous, confident, enthusiastic. They have never “let us down,” for no matter what the score we have always known that they did their best. Mary Moore and “Gertie” McKiernan, our daring forwards; Virginia Beegan and “Gert“ O’Neill, our tireless guards; and Roxy McDonough and “Bee” Wasserscheid, our speedy centers — what a combination! A splendid, smoothly-co-ordinating machine, with all work- ing for the common interest ! Six good sports — our team ! Seventy-one Seventy-two ' W BT The Junior Team “Success is for him who works for it” has been undeniably proven by the Purple and White team which has laudably carried its colors through various con- tests this past year. Always a team with a wealth of material, as is shown in its guards, ably represented by Rita Murray and Anne Reardon; its forwards, Clare Vangerow and Gertrude Maloney ; and its centers, Helen Kolbe and J ean Klonoski , who form an almost invincible barrier between the opposing goals, it has fully realized its potentialities this season. Its persistent determination to “make good” has strengthened the co-operation of the players, with the result that 25 presents a skilfully working, strongly opposing team; worthy opponents for the best that the college may offer in challenge. In the eyes of a casual onlooker, the Purple and White team has undergone, may we term it, an almost complete metamorphosis; its hitherto latent capa- bilities now fully realized; perfectly trained ; so that Alma Mater can proudly and justly say “these, too, are worthy to stand with the best representing New Rochelle Athletics.” ANN ALES Sophomore Team In the beginning they were promising — and they are still not only promising but they have fulfilled completely those early, yet so well-defined indications of athletic prowess. The Meet victory of their Freshman year was in itself a monu- ment to their ability as players, and their successive victories this year speak well for ' zb ' s future success. We are indeed proud of our Sister Class’s splendid work in Athletics, and our sincere wish as we leave is that we might join our voices with theirs, through the coming year, in the never-failing, rousing cheer of “On to Victory!” Seventy-three AN MALES Freshman Team We have had only a year in which to size up the Freshmen, but in that time we have formed our own decision. They are a good team, a game team, and one that New Rochelle College is going to be proud of. They have good material from which to pick and choose, and plenty of it. Their captain, Adelaide Casey, has done wonders in whipping this raw material into good fighting trim. Grit and stamina characterize them. Their spirit is of the right order. Time with its practice and wisdom of experience, instilled by hard knocks, is all that is needed to turn them out worthy representatives of N. R. C. Sevenly-four ANNALES Cheerleaders A valiant band, indeed! They imperil their voices in our service; by the time the game is over they have faded away to a mere whisper. They hunt out strange and mysterious places for us to practice — rickety barns whose every creak causes a startled search for spies; dank cellars where we hobnob with the furnace and the coal (home-brew carefully removed before our advent) ; and sometimes even K. of C. halls, to which we saunter in twos and threes with elaborate carelessness. “Pi tch it low they caution us. “Now, one, two, three — ‘with a vevo, with a vivo, etc!’ “ or “ ‘Who owns the road now, who owns the road now, etc. f “ the choice depending upon whether they are Odds or Evens. What combinations they invent for our unwilling tongues to twist around ! Such as were ne’er heard before on land or sea, and such as would scare the fish back into the depths and the birds far from earth if they ever did hear them! But to put all joking aside, the cheerleaders deserve our firm support and our sincere gratitude, for they devote their time and their talents to us with no hope or thought of reward. Seventy-five Tennis Club Anacleta Haggerty Captain Rhea Schrier ....•••••• Manager The Tennis Club is an affiliation of the Athletic Association, so the membership is restricted to those who belong to that society. This club was organized a few years ago and was such a success that it has become an established organization. There are two officers — a captain and a manager — who are elected by popular vote but who are subject to the dictates of the President of the Athletic Association. Two tournaments a year are held, one in the fall and one in the spring, and all the members are compelled to turn out for the finals. This society helps to develop the physical element in college life as well as the ideal of good sportsmanship and camaraderie. Seventy-six ANNALES Hockey CAPTAINS: Mary Moore, Gertrude O’Neill COACH: Miss Edna Meyer Lively breezes, unrestrained laughter, and the pure joy of playing! Although Hockey is new to our college, it has found many sturdy supporters. The Athletic Association has succeeded in obtaining the use of a field at City Park, and Hockey Day finds our gay enthusiasts more than anxious to take advantage of their privilege. On the Hockey field they become as children, and a few falls and frequent knocks do not annoy them greatly. However, the players have a more serious purpose in mind. At present there are two good working teams. We hope to weld them into fine condition, so that they will be able to meet and defeat all contenders. Here’s good luck to our future Hockey stars! Seventy-seven Fro sh n t i Hftifc ANNALES Freshman Class History Commencement — that magic word ! Like a flash the year rolls back and the events stand out as so many milestones in our career as Freshmen at New Rochelle. The first week — will we ever forget it — with everyone, especially our Big Sisters, so kind, and we — so bewildered. How desperately we struggled in arranging schedules and how, despite our efforts, we haunted Mother Xavier’s office for a week afterwards. To offset this turmoil came the Junior Welcoming Party. Many of our trunks hadn’t come and most of us were in despair. But our Big Sisters were so gracious that we soon forgot our worries in our delight in them. We wonder how many of us found our ideal college girl that night — how many gave our affections in friendships which have lasted to the present day. Following that came the Sophomore Party. They, too, showed us they wanted a part in our first year. After two weeks we acquired the habit of Teaing. Indeed, we felt quite accom- plished when we could talk glibly of such places as the Neighborhood, Cake Box, Boston Spa, and astound our less informed classmates with “Loew s.” After the accomplishment of this tre- mendous feat we settled into the ways of college life, only occasionally unsettled by a momentous basketball game. It was about this time that we selected our class officers. We must have been directed in our choice, for Rita Simons, our president, will always stand for us as all that is sweet, noble and loyal in life. Then, too, we must not neglect to mention the other officers who so capably upheld her. Soon we were to see why the elections were so rushed. Investiture was just round the corner, and they wanted to be sure to bestow the blue tassel on the right person. It is not likely that the memory of that occasion on which we really became a part of college life will ever beobliterated. Inves- titure gave us a glimpse into the dignity of college life even in its Freshman year. Next in the Freshman Calendar came that memorable Sunday afternoon in the Castle when, with quaking hearts but joy- ful faces, we strayed down the big line of charming Seniors. We found them just as cordial as the other classes with whom we were on more intimate terms. I hjfej Bfefc Soon came the December evening when we were formally adopted by Our Sisters in the traditional Junior-Freshman Wed- ding. This outward manifestation merely strengthened the invisible bond between the two classes. The following night was the Christmas Party. We all doubt that we did it full justice. Who could with vacation looming just ahead? Day after day slipped by — almost too fast to be counted — and then we were back with Exams, those cheerful adventures staring us in the face. How the questions mocked us if we didn’t know the answer, and how they scorned us if we did ! Exams ! The bugbears of every college student. But we drowned their jeers in the Junior Prom — that one glorious night — never to be forgotten. Even failures and conditions could not down our spirits after they had been refreshed by the Prom. Valentine Day brought Class Day with its Tea at the Cake Box, Party for the Juniors, and the other memorable happen- ings. Again Rita saved the day and honors. Now came the calm before the storm. It broke in the Freshman-Sophomore game. Let us pass on to the springtime. How fortunate for us that Washington ' s Birth- day fell on a Friday and how considerate of Monsignor Chidwick to give us the Monday following! Easter ! ! Why do vacations pass so swiftly? It merely portended the rest of the year which went by on wings. Soon came the second whirl of Exams — and then peace and sorrows of farewell. Is there any ceremony so inspiring yet so touching as the turning of the tassels !! With it ’24 literally stepped out and ’25 filled their places — the Odds at the helm. Then that final week — so joyous, yet so sad. Trunks were unearthed, things jam- med in with many gay references to this and that, then the lid closed on our Fresh- man year. ANNALES f Sophomore Si ilSf WiiiiI !1 ANNALES Sophomore Class History Twenty-six returned to college this September with a firm determination to keep up the reputation made by them in Freshman year. To help this along they gave ' 27 a warm reception. The first few days were spent in the usual preliminaries — unpacking, greeting old acquaintances, trying all the tea-rooms, and arranging schedules with an eye to at least four or five free afternoons a week. The joy was taken out of our return by a vague rumor which was too soon verified, that there was to be no Freshman-Sopho- more Meet this year. How rudely all our hopes were dashed to the ground by the heartless Faculty! We considered several plans to bring them to terms, but none of them proved practicable. We were incon- solable as well as indignant ; our only solace in the thought that ’26 will go down in the annals of N. R. C. as the class that won the last Freshman-Sophomore Meet. As a class we entered heartily into the various activities that offered themselves. In November, the Sophomore members of Props and Paint presented “Mice Men with an ability that made 26 proud of her representatives in Dramatics. The uneventful days of early December began to make us restless and desirous of a little excitement, so we decided to show ' 27 what was expected of them. One lesson was enough for the Freshmen who proved themselves very ready to enter into the spirit of friendly hostility. In the days im mediately following there was a revival of the “Odd and Even” spirit. Rooms were raided and for a few days excitement ran high and once again ' 26 was in her element. The Christmas Party came to restore “peace and good will.” After an eventful vacation we returned with hearts anything but light, because of the terrorizing Mid- Years which were soon to take up the center of our thoughts. Their results were not Eighty-six ANNALES quite as tragic as we had expected in our most despondent moments, and we forgot all about them the following week-end at the Junior Prom. The lull that settled over campus after the Prom, was broken by the Freshman- Sophomore game which almost took on the aspect of a Meet. During the weeks that followed nothing of great importance happened. We gave ’24 a party on her Class Day, the 17th of March. The Easter Vacation came soon after, and immediately upon our return we turned our attention toward the coming finals. The beautiful days of Spring had to be spent in struggling with Math, English and Economics. For much as we had en- joyed our Sophomore year, we had no desire to repeat it. Graduation week was one that none of us will soon forget. We saw the Seniors at- tain that for which they had striven for four years, but our joy at their achieve- ment was subdued by the realization that ’24 was leaving us; that no longer would our beloved Sisters be at our side to help us in time of defeat and cheer us on in time of victory. We of ’26 take this last op- portunity to assure ’24 of our love and that our good wishes will follow them in their various careers. We are sure that they will bring honor to the name of New Rochelle. % J ANNALES Junior Class History Rip-a-roy Ship-a-hoy The Juniors are here Oh, Boy! The Japanese may have thought that they raised quite a rumpus with their earthquakes last year, but the hoarse rum- blings and mumblings of Fuj iyama were as nothing compared to the lusty shouts with which ’25 descended upon Alma Mater for the third round of the battle of college life. But the hilarity and excitement waxed so high that a few solemn ceremonies were necessary as reminders that there are per- haps more serious pursuits in a college career than basketball games or ukelele song fests or breakfast “en negligee” (or words to that effect). And so Investiture was celebrated with all due pomp and glory. A certain mysteriousness, impor- tance and hitherto undiscovered dignity characterized the Juniors, while our young Sisters were all that younger Sisters should be — subdued, impressed and curious. But they took it like ladies, and we were proud of them. Our pride increased immeasurably, and by this time had assumed enormous pro- portions, when we gazed upon the charm- ing shepherdesses of the wedding party. As for the ushers, such handsome, manly figures are few and far between and tre- mendously appreciated by a lovely female audience. Rita Simons as the bride was lovely, sweet and typically old-fashioned, and our hearts gave quirky little palpita- tions when we noted the groom’s tender, proud glances at his pretty bride. We wondered if he had any older brothers. At the end of the Christmas revelry we took temporary leave of Alma Mater, and planned and hoped, added and subtracted, wrote and telephoned ' till so weary that we returned to college to rest up. Never were ■rune Ninety And then the longed-for Junior Week happened along! We haven’t yet recovered from the astonishing sweetness of Mary Jane McKane’s turned-up nose — and we shall always maintain that Dick Barthel- mess’ screen interpretations are surpassed only by his extremely good taste in choos- ing a wife. We had scarcely finished gossiping about the theater party when it was time for our luncheon at the Plaza. It was the quintes- sence of elegance! French menus, French waiters, French rolls! Then the Prom ! We “Prommed’’ a week before and after in anticipation and remi- niscence. Never was there such a galaxy of beauty thronging at any fashion fair! We modestly admit it, and give due credit to marcelles, manicures and modistes. Without laying claim to being college boosters, we agree that Alice Lloyd and her committee know more about Proms than any other committee in any other college. Meets being taboo this year, no further excitement interrupted our placid existence until the Seniors began to assume an air of importance, looked worried over Exams, pityingly on the rest of us, and a bit woeful. It was then we realized that the class whom Fate had made our natural enemies had become very dear to us. Too late to express our admiration and affect ion more worthily, we could offer only the insufficient testi- monials of a farewell serenade and a last evening together to wish them good luck. It seems almost impossible that we, who only yesterday were as green buds on this branch of learning, should be shouldering the responsibilities of the grave Seniors. We watch ’24’s leave-taking with poignant regret. textbooks so assiduously studied as were the style books of the month. Unfortu- nately, the Mid-Term Exams interrupted our dreaming, so we studied after a fashion and succeeded in passing as many courses as could be expected under the circum- stances. I 5 ANNALES v f ’ : Ninety-three FRESHMAN YEAR In the Autumn of 1920 we made our debut at N. R. C. We didn’t have much time to be lonely or home- sick, for the second evening after our arrival our Big Sisters of ’22 gave us a Welcome Party. This was the first but by no means the last time that ’22 proved herself a real friend of ’24. The next evening the Sophs entertained us at an informal party. Our “would-be-friendly en- emies” proved themselves charming hostesses. We soon learned that college life does not consist entirely of parties, when we reported for registration. There followed days upon days of ceaseless turmoil in the attempt at arranging schedules. After becoming more or less well acquainted, we elected our class officers for the year. For our presi- dent we chose Miriam Collins, a charming representative from far- away Texas, a loyal rooter for ’24, and a staunch friend to all. Soon after this we became an in- tegral part of N. R. C. in that solemn and touching cermony — Investiture. Then we were formally adopted. Despite the wily arguments set forth by representatives of other colleges we wisely chose New Rochelle for our Alma Mater. Immediately after Thanksgiving Vacation came the Year Book Tea. We made a social and financial sue- ANNALES) History of 1924 cess of this as well as of our part in the College Bazaar. Christmas Carols, Slams, and a Party announced the arrival of the holidays. The reminiscent joys of the Christmas Vacation were marred by the approach of Mid -Years. For two weeks we crammed and studied. Then the Prom ! Our pep came back a hundred-fold in gaiety of this social event. TheMeet!!! For weeks we thought, planned and cared for nothing but Meet. ’24 was continually in hot water, either in the Gym, in neigh- boring barns, or in the officers’ rooms. After a sleepless night we rose early and seized the most strategic points on campus from which we unfurled the glorious Green and White. In spite of the splendid playing of our team, ’24 went down in defeat, but also went down in the annals of N. R. C. as good losers and good sports. To our dying day we will carry with us the memory of the cheer-up party that our splendid Sisters gave us that evening in the Gym. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin’’ has a soft spot in our hearts since their clever burlesque of it. Here again, ’22 showed herself a real and faithful friend. Spring came and with it Exams and Commencement. So ended the first quarter of our career at N. R. C. ANNALES AMNALES ANNALES SOPHOMORE YEAR The second round of ’24 s college life begins. We return to AlmaMater as sophisticated Sophomores with an instinctive interest in the latest arrivals — ’25. We remembered our own first days of homesickness and gave them a little party. The Hallow’ en Party and the Christmas Bazaar happened along to relieve the strain of college life. On the eve of Xmas Vacation, the Living Room took on a festive ap- pearance. All the students united in sending forth “peace and good will,” but this occasion held a note of sad- ness for us, because we began to realize that ’22 was soon to leave us. The idea of a Debating Club, that 24 had originated the year before, was perfected now. Another organi- zation that appeared about this time was the Press Club and its product, The Taller. ’24 helped in this un- dertaking by many contributions and staunch support. By way of warning of the ap- proaching Meet, cheer practice be- came part of our ‘ ‘daily dozen. ’ ’ Not content with capturing Freshman banners we also captured Freshman spies, and triumphantly marched them around campus. The day of the Meet proper began with a slow and solemn procession across campus and the chant of a funeral dirge over ’25’s lost banner. The day began and ended with victories for ’24. The playing was fast and furious, but ’24 came out on top. For a week after- Ninely-seven ward the Green and White floated gloriously over campus. Then sadness dimmed our days as Commencement and ’22’s leavetak- ing approached. Our Big Sisters and dear friends were soon to depart. We endeavoured to show our love and esteem for these elder Sisters who had always proved so loyal and sympathetic in times of trouble, so proud in times of victory, by plan- ning eagerly for farewell parties. But a party could never be adequate enough to express our feeling for ’22, our kind and patient Sisters, our genuine and faithful friends. So we leave Alma Mater for a few months and Underclassmen days forever. Ninety-eight f ANN ALES 1 ANNALES JUNIOR YEAR Here we are, back again for the third quarter of our college career. Our Upperclassmen days begin. We are made aware of this by the pres- ence of our Little Sisters, ’26, who partly filled the spot left vacant in our hearts by the departure of 22. Soon Investiture was upon us. We planned for it carefully, and the re- sults were worth the effort exerted. Soft music, shaded lights, and a long line of Little Sisters, presented an appropriate setting for the occasion. Once again we all pledged our loyalty to Alma Mater. The Adoption Party came ’round, and ’26 chose N. R. C. for her Alma Mater after going through the usual legal formalities. Then we began to work night and day on our Shakespearian produc- tion, “Macbeth.” We made our debut in the theatrical world on the 19th of December in the Booth Theatre. A number of the Class of 1924 took part in this successful production. A few days later we recuperated from our strenuous dramatic efforts in the Christmas Party and the vacation. We’ll pass over the horrors of Mid-Years for the far more pleasant Junior Week. It began with a de- lightful theater party. We attended the Wednesday matinee performance of “Polly Preferred.” On Thursday we lunched at Delmonico’s. Then came the best part of all — the Ninety-nine nfipF ■ iUiTi rll AK T NAL.ES I Prom! The grand ballroom of the Biltmore was the scene of this de- lightful affair. Due to the able management of the committee it was a remarkable social and financial success. The Meet, and with it “the thrill that comes once in a lifetime,” was soon upon us. To our sorrow, Upper- classmen were not supposed to take any part whatsoever in the activi- ties. After a series of exciting cheer practices, the great day finally arrived. Although we were not to have participated in the cheering, we entirely forgot ourselves in the excitement of the wonderful Even victory, and broke loose!! How proud we were of our Little Sisters that day when they defeated the Sophs with the splendid score of 33 21 • Spring came and, soon after, the close of our happy Junior days, ’23, our oldest friends at college, were soon to leave. On Graduation Night we serenaded them fron the moonlit campus, and endeavored to express our keen sorrow at their departure. With a pang we realized that our turn at leavetaking was soon to come. One Hundred One One Hundred Three ANNALES IV SENIOR YEAR September 25 th came and with it Senior days. Soon we had a mad scramble for points. We added and subtracted, multiplied and di- vided, but every time the result was different. Dignity is supposed to be symbolic of Seniors, so we made an effort to acquire it, but all was in vain. Dignity and ’24 don’t “hitch.” Why be dignified, when what few rights “the powers that be” had left us, were promptly usurped by the Freshmen? Early in the Fall the Year Book Staff got together and planned the year’s work systematically. No “midnight oil” for us! In conjunc- tion with this we held the Annales Bazaar. Due to the fine work of the chairman and her co-workers, the Bazaar was a complete success. The Christmas Party and Slams were upon us. The less said about the latter, the better. We enjoyed the party, but there was a certain wistful sadness, caused by the reali- zation that it was to be our last. Mid-Years, the Prom and “Ham- let” followed in rapid succession- The latter was a dramatic and finan- cial success that made ’24 proud of her representatives in Props and Paint. The Championship game came and went, and again’ 26 gave us every reason to be mighty proud of her. Then we began to look forward to Commencemen t — ou r goal . With One Hundred Four NNALES mental anguish we plugged away at Philosophical and English essays, and Sociological Research papers, but we soon found that Graduation is not all work. We enjoyed all the festivities that were held in our honor as Alma Mater’s eldest daugh- ters. While we are happy in our achievement, still we lament the fact that with it comes parting with N. R. C. Our only regret is that we cannot continue our journey on through life without the pang of separation from all that we have grown to love. � ■xm President Sophomore Year Allys Dwyer Louise Carew Margaret Prout Vice-President .

No matter i what type of girl you are, you will be sure to have some interest in common with her. Katherine can discuss (and at the same time know what she is talking about) anyone fr qm Shakespeare to “O. Henry” or “Judge.” She always knows the latest delightful bit of gossip or “what they are wearing and doing in New York.” We have been trying for four years to find out when “Kay” does her work. She is never unprepared in class, and yet the most strenuous work we have ever found her doing has been reading a magazine or a novel, telling a funny story, or taking a hand at her favorite game — bridge. Unfailingly good-humored, with an odd, philosophical, broad outlook on life, Katherine is a companion of whom we can never tire, a friend who will ever prove delightful, a girl of “infinite variety.” One Hundred Seven I i H m it t iMi ntir IW.ftfimsWHiMl.lM ' li HP MARGARET OLIVE ARCHER, B.LITT.

She is a genius in her own line, for she can write a story that lives and that is as hard to lay down unfinished as any of the much-advertised “best-sellers.” She has pretty dark eyes and hair and a form as graceful as one of her own heroines. We had always imagined that “authoresses” were rather queer, plain-looking people, so we received a pleasant shock when we met Margaret. She has a nimble wit, and a ready tongue which in a few words can sum up a thing vividly and interestingly. Her whole personality is distinctly colorful. Margaret is not a type. She is unusually individual. Possessed of a kindly, generous nature and a sociable disposition she is uni- versally liked. Combined with a gift for making friends she has also the requisites necessary for keeping them. A clever girl, and as charming and entertaining as she is clever, with a certain whimsical something about her that is distinguishing. One Hundred Eight ' mmimimTiHuiH jum • !

Those are the qualities in Mildred that first come to our minds when we think of her. She is one of those girls that we like to have back of us in times of trouble, a staunch supporter, a loyal friend. She may always be depended upon to form her own opinion — and to stick to it; there is nothing shallow or changeable about her. She has the courage of her convictions; she is never backward about expressing them. But we do not want you to get the idea that Mildred is one of those painfully upright girls, one of those models who are held up to the rest of us poor mortals as a shining example — and whom we resultantly regard with secret malevolence — on the contrary, she is as funny and jolly as one could wish for. She is always ready for a frolic, and equally ready to face the consequences without shirking. Here’s to Mildred Barry — a good sport.

By keen observation and diligent practice she acquired the famous “Jong throw” of Helen Moore, and became one of our basketball stars. This is characteristic of Virginia. With the same determination and energy she led the Mandolin Club through a very prosperous year. It may be said of her that “she is neither the first to accept the new, nor yet the last to lay aside the old.” Her definite opinions find expression in sensible, pract ical ideas. When trying to solve a Math problem or playing a “hard” game, we see an earnest, serious-minded Virginia. However, in play, she is one of the merriest and most light-hearted. Her manner is one of natural ease which seems to set aside formalities and encourage companionship.

Early in Freshman year, Ruth became known to us because of her high standing in scholarship. Soon we began to know her better, and she gained a high standing in our hearts, too. Ruth is a steadfast, loyal friend ; one who can be depended upon in times of adversity as well as “in fair weather.” She has a pleasing, even dis- position that makes her beloved by all. There is a humorous side of Ruth ' s nature that makes her see the funny side of life. If you have a good joke to tell, you will find a fine listener in Ruth.

She’s the other half of the “Bero Twins.” Some time ago we found that Veronca had a beautiful singing voice. Since then we have enjoyed her gift very often. Whether it be in her room to the accompaniment of a wailing uke, or on the stage, she helped us to know the song of life. Like her sister, Veronica has always attained a high degree of scholarship. Through all the trials and tribulations of a B.S., she has “come up smiling.” Veronica is one whose friendship we value highly, for we have heard that true friends are few and far between. She is unaffectedly earnest and sincere. Her good points are many and her failings few.

Her forte is Latin, and that in itself renders her a certain awesome exclusiveness, an aiming perhaps at loftier heights quite un- traveled by the greater majority. She presides over her Freshman Latin Class admirably and with amazing dignity for one so small of stature. True, indeed, Irene is a serious-minded little personage while at class or while doing any class work, but with its completion her fun-loving nature asserts itself to the full. Then it is that her twinkling blue eyes seem to light up surprisingly, and that is a sure sign that she is ready for fun. Undoubtedly, Irene’s more intimate friends could speak far more convincingly about other innumerable good qualities, but viewing her as a classmate, is it not enough that we all sincerely consider her one of ’24s most faithful?

For Aimee is a royal com- panion with a delightful capacity of never being dull. She has always a stock of interesting tales and her speech seems full of punctuations — pithy, quick and refreshing. Sometimes, however, she seems steeped in a brooding seriousness. And then there is a slight cynicism and she shows a startling realization of the value of things. A friend that is a pal, lovable and warmhearted and sincere, but somehow we don’t need to sum up these things when we speak of Aimee. She seems to be so naturally the essence of all these qualities. There is no pretentiousness about her kindness, her unselfishness, and her frank sincerity. Perhaps that can explain her universal popularity.

She has persevered until the task is now but a part of the past. Not in the arts of stenog and type alone does Ellen excel; her scholarship is high in all branches of college study.

When “Gen” joined forces with the “B.S.-ers” we lost a promising literary light, according to rumor, which in this case we are very ready to credit. We regret that this is so, for we would confidently have hoped for much from her in this line, had she chosen it in preference to the other. In Dramatics, too, Genevieve has used her really fine talent lavishly and un- selfishly, regardless of time or personal considerations. Although she has always lived in a “private,” it is not singular that we rarely ever see “Gen” alone; practically at all times she is in the midst of friends — and the reason for this — “Gen’s” friendly nature, so fascinating as to be irresistible, calls forth a like response and keeps her always supplied with quantities of admiring friends.

Although “Ceil” has the habit of delaying, she also has the knack of doing things quietly and with surprising ease and rapidity. Reliable and efficient, her management of the advertising section of the Quarterly was a great success. “Ceil ' s” musical talents are not unknown to us. A mastery of technique a gracefulness of execution, and an individual power of expression make her an accomplished pianist. With a nicety of manner, ever courteous and obliging, “Ceil” is truly a perfect lady. We enjoy her interesting and intelligent conversations and appreciate her candid opinions.

The essence of a home-lover envelops her, and in stress and need, we, who have known her, can vouch for the womanly comfort, the under- standing, that she in her unobtrusive way can offer. ’24 is appreciative of members like Ora who form the staunch supports of the class, earning their laurels quietly; unostentatiously going forward.

The Quarterly Staff recognized her ability and she was taken on. Then it was that Kampus Kapers seemed to sprint ahead, enlivened with a newly acquired originality. Mary, herself, is a lovable personality, an interesting composite of sincerity and light-heartedness. She faces everything with a dauntless nonchalance, whether to conquer or fail, but never to retreat. Mary has fullfilled much of the promise along literary lines which was so obviously present during her first years at N. R. C. She has been a member of the Tatler Staff, and as a member of our Year Book Staff she has worked like the proverbial Trojan; all with enviable attainment. Mary is a character — a bit temperamental, perhaps — but like the products of her pen she, in her own being, bespeaks originality. A character, indeed, and a leading one in the happy annals of ’24s history. fllMii)iTitimninin)iin)i:i J J ' Um i mimuimH muu lV mmm ISWRWS eM ' mi CLAIRE FRANCES BYRNE, Ph.B.

She has carried on nobly that very first impression of winning joviality which characterizes each one. “Clairie” has a peculiar knack of always being “in on it,” whatever “it” happens to be. If there is any choice bit of news abroad, then “Clairie” is abroad, also, and if she is unable “to bring home the bacon,” no one else can. It is easy to visualize Claire stepping along, Freshman year, in the front ranks of a spirited line of march, after one of our many cheer-practice rumpuses. There is the Claire of feverishly excited moments thrilling over a Meet victory, perhaps — there is the Claire who so faithfully attended cheer-practices — and again, the girl who is cramming madly for Exams. She is a compound of many unusual and lovable qualities. She appreciates immensely a real good joke and is herself the author of many. To say that Claire is popular would be putting it mildly, for she is everyone’s idea of a perfectly honest-to-goodness pal.

Even during that early stage of Freshman year when most of us floundered about in blissful but clumsy ignorance of college etiquette, Louise was already surprisingly well adapted here. An able manager and an efficient worker she has been a member of many committees which brought about most successful events. For three years, Louise has been a member of the Advisory Board, and during that time her ever-conscientious performance of her duty as an A.B. gave proof of her great sincerity. As a student, Louise has always been at her best. Ever faithful in her appli- cation to her class work, the results have been unusually favorable. Her tastes are distinctly of an aesthetic nature. Louise is not by any means an altogether prosaic person. One would find it hard to discover a more interesting conversationalist and then again one who dearly loves to “dish” “good ol’ “ college gossip. Whatever may be her goal in life, she goes forward armed with our best wishes and with her own noble ideals which are bound to bring her success.

With them it’s a case of “united we stand — divided we fall,” but after all there are heaps of individual traits in this “Dot” which set her apart from her side-partner. “Dot” is one of the fortunate girls who is always with a “gang,” and who is always ready to contribute her share to the general jollity, even after the “lights out” signal has blinked its last warning. In class and out, “Dot” helps to keep the spirit of fun in full swing, while at the same time she manages competently to get all kinds of work done at little trouble to herself. The keynote to Dorothy’s character is her constant attitude of placidity. Absolutely no occurrence is important enough to disturb her calm demeanor or to swerve her from a predetermined course of action. “Dot” is alluringly dignified, pleasure-loving and serious — a wonderfully composite union of disunited qualities and, better than all, a grand girl and the best of pals.

She has always been very active in our social affairs whether it be in the role of an artistic little decorator or as a charming, petite entertainer, and in either instance she always worked untiringly. Anne is always hurrying somewhere — sometimes, of course, to class, but usually to that haven of merriment known among prosaic railroad folk as New York City. She loves a good time and it is a rare occasion when Anne misses a dance. We have often heard that precious things come in small packages, and now — well— somehow, Anne just makes us believe it!

She is the inspiration for all who are working “against odds,” for she is always willing to help. We have yet to find any committee not anxious to have Teresa. Her dependability and her originality are big assets in any sort of work. Teresa is one of the girls on whom ’24 depends for its high scholastic standing, but Latin or any other triviality can never keep her from a comfortable chat. She is a delightful companion. We think people outside of college think so, too, from the numerous letters and “specials” she receives. Teresa goes in for all social affairs and seems to get pleasure out of everything from a trip to Loew’s to the Prom. The friendship between her and Hazel is but another picture of the “better side” of college life that we will always carry with us. ANNALES ALLENE GERTRUDE CUMMINGS, B.A. Stratford, Conn.

Whether it be friend or acquaintance, “Kume” is always willing to lend a hand, regardless of her own personal demands. Always a faithful “sub” on the basketball team, Allene has an unfailing sense of duty to the squad and always plays even a practice game with the snap, dash and vim of a regular one. She is particularly famous as a “handy man,” especially deft with the needle, tactfully helpful to bewildered seekers after the “ins and outs” of Math intricacies, and ever ready with consolation when it is needed. She is so amazingly capable in many ways that it only entangles us to attempt enumerating, but if one outstanding feature remains to be named, let it be her genuine goodness and kindness of heart. If life deals kindly with her, it is no more than just, for “turn about is fair play” — and to her “fair play” means square dealing for all. A champion of capa- bility in many lines, we wish for her a huge collection of the world’s choicest trophies. One Hundred Thirty One Hundred Thirty-one Brooklyn, N. Y.

She is absolutely and refreshingly original in everything she does. The most ordinary event in college life can be made vitally interesting and new by the touch of her whimsical personality. She has a magnetic sense of humor that can turn the dullest moments into joy. The funny comments she springs at odd moments in class periods threaten the gravity of any Professor. Indeed, we dare anyone to be grave while Anne is about. When she tells a tale, we listen eagerly. Even her eyes seem to speak, and they are unusual — dark, brilliant and restless. And because of her personality and her cheery outlook upon life, she is loved by all of us, and she will ever be associated in our minds with the happiest moments of N. R. C.

Ever since the stormy Meet days of Freshman year when she was chosen as the cheer leader of our un- usually lively band, each undertaking has been a proof of her exceptional abilities. A charming hostess and an able manager, Mary made our Junior Prom a success, socially and financially. Due to her untiring efforts, it was one of N. R C. ' s most brilliant affairs. As a dramatic artist, Mary is unsurpassed. On the stage she is so vibrantly alive and so responsive to the part she is playing, that we lose the personality of the girl in that of the character. Mary unconsciously exerts a powerful, almost psychical influence, not only on her audience but even on those acting with her. An unusual versatility and talent were shown in her equally masterful portrayals of the characters of Macbeth and Hamlet. We will always remember Mary as ’24 ' s own President of Props and Paint.

However, during our four years’ acquaintance with her we have found under- neath it all a pleasure-loving person; one who likes to be ”in“ things. She is not so much one who “starts the ball rolling,’’ but rather one who helps to keep it moving, once it has been started. At times of Interclass rivalry, Catherine has ever been one of our steadfast, sturdy followers, always proud to defend ’24. Her gentle and beautiful protrayal of the role of the Blessed Virgin in “The Upper Room” was an adequate expression of her histrionic ability. A pleasing and melodious contralto voice, often heard in Glee Club selections, class songs and parodies, is Catherine’s distinctive talent. The saying “Appearances are sometimes deceiving’’ is directly indicative of Catherine. Though seemingly aloof, she is in reality friendly and jolly, and ’24 wishes her a happy and successful future.

We loved Alice almost as soon as we met her, not as much for her attractiveness as for her delightful and different nature. She is ever the unexpected ; one moment gay, the next, serious and pensive. But Alice’s outstanding characteristic is her sense of humor. She is always perceiving the comic element in things about her; still she does not let her facetious fancy interfere with her more thoughtful moments. Inclined to take life a little easy and rather indifferent to its “ups and downs,’’ she allows her adventurous spirit to guide her; ready to do and dare anything. Rare bits of slang and quaint expressions daily heard on campus, can be associated with no one but her. “May she take her fifty thousand,’’ and live happily ever after.

We all know the Aliys who excels in her studies ; who joins heartily in our gayer moods; who loves a good time. There is still another Aliys who holds a very rigid code of honor and whose every action is in strict keeping with this code. She, who appears to form such a definite part of th is materialistic world, surprises us by her spirituality and her idealism.

She is athletic, and as a side center on the sub-team she worked hard to give our team the practice so vitally needed. She entered into the spirit of the class and contributed largely to many of its projects. Virginia’s is a placid nature which never ruffles itself except for an occasional ripple of ringing laughter. She is the best possible companion for any proposed trip, and New Rochelle sees little of her, week-ends. Her calendar seems to be marked with bright spots for the Saturdays, for then, with classes a memory, she’s off!

In this manner she is truly blessed, for she “offends not with her tongue.” Anne calls forth our admiration. In her own quiet way she has succeeded where many others have failed; she has managed to “conquer” the B.S. course. Like many gentle girls she is surprisingly forceful. She can hold herself to a task, no matter how difficult it may be.

We like to tell “Gret“ our newest joke, because we are always sure of due appreciation. Perhaps it is this same happy quality that makes us love her singing. We cannot but predict a great future for “Gret”. Her voice is a rich, powerful soprano with an unusually wide range.

As we watch her tripping gaily around the Living Room, we find ourselves thinking of rainbow colors, shadow dances, and gallant young men. Who would imagine that such a girl might be a rough-and-ready basketball scrub? We remember a campaign for recruits to fill in the places of our wounded team members. Anita heard the call and hustled about to borrow sneakers and bloomers. She was among the first to arrive in the Gym, and her spirit and speed were exhilarating. When someone, or anyone, attacks the flapper, Anita is our defense, for anyone who enriches life by her living is surely worthy. ANITA CATHERINE GILLEN, B.A iiWB8 HELEN U.

She has a collection of charming child studies and winsome ba by pictures which she has gathered from magazines and books from far and wide. This bespeaks a strain of tenderness that Helen keeps hidden far within her. Helen is one of our most promising stars on the tennis court. It is inspiring to watch her at play, for there she is the? embodiment of youth and gaiety.

Helen has always been one of ’24’s “standbys.” Her ability and energy were always whole-hearted in whatever concerned the interests of our class. It is impossible to imagine her doing nothing. Helen’s idle moments are few and far between. Possessing the happy faculty of looking ahead, she is always busy, whether writing letters, reading a book, entertaining at a party, or making plans for the week-end. These two attributes — personal attractiveness and definite capability — we find in the one girl, Helen Gray.

O NE of the most heartfelt things we have to say in tribute to “Cleta is that her basketball fame of Freshman Year — stopped so regrettably by illness— is still a vital topic in the annals of ’24. Many a time her plucky spirit of k never- say : die” has spelled one more victory for the class, and for that reason we have viewed with regret her presence on the sidelines rather than on the Gym court. Something peculiarly athletic must be embodied in “Cleta’s” very .nature, for she still runs true to the ideal type of sportswoman ; frankness and perseverance seem to be her own personal characteristics. In spite of illness and its consequent drawbacks she has done markedly good work in all branches of scholarship, mean- while combating all difficulties with her own cheery spirit. Perhaps “CleteY’ prime virtue lies in the sheer tact by which she spends her energy in accomplishing results, rather than in dreaming about them.

No doubt, it is on account of these outside interests that we have not learned to know Irene better. We have never been able to completely probe a certain reserve that is Irene’s own; a reserve which is never repelling but always holds a certain dignity, sadly lacking in the rest of us. Irene has a very pleasant smile which is not belied by her manner of speaking. The stick-to-itiveness which made her finish her college course does not allow her to neglect college life. She continues to be as interested as ever in her work here. She devotes her time particularly to music, with excellent results, for she plays the piano and sings equally well.

Diminutive in stature, ‘ ' Kel” is by nature just the reverse. Hers is a most animated nature and her interests are both numerous and varied. In gaining recruits for the French Club, and putting that society on a working basis, Frances has shown her organizing ability; while in everything that spells pleasure she is also “among those present.” Through her aptitude for freely giving us the benefit of her pleasing voice, Kelly has become a part of New Rochelle college life, itself, and her absence will be felt in the future, especially when vocal affairs are in the making.

Our first impression of her was of a girl with expressive Irish-gray eyes and a mass of gold-brown hair, with a slow, drawling voice and a certain graceful slowness in her actions. However, on further acquaintance we now appreciate Reba as a girl with a keen, logical brain coupled with a broad, sympathetic but unemotional outlook on life. She has an almost uncanny intuition of what the ' other girl” needs, and generously supplies the need when possible. The whole college, and especially ‘24, owes Reba a big vote of thanks for the excellent work she has done for the Debating Society as its president during the four years of its existence. Infused with her spirit, it cannot help but live on to do the great things we expect of it.

Dark brown hair, touched with red. Marion reminds us of autumn with all its rich colorings and, like autumn, she is something of an enigma. Even after four years we are never quite sure what to expect from her. We know just one thing. Whatever she says or does is true to what she thinks. Slow to form opinions, she is still slower to form friendships, but when she has a preference for any idea or person, she is like the Rock of Gibraltar. We are glad to know Marion. Her perfect sincerity, her total absence of “line,” her charming frankness of manner, and a great depth of character which is as fascinating as an unexplored land, make her friendship a treasure long to be remembered.

Since then she has appeared in many characters whether impromptu or otherwise.

At times like these “Krimmie” always “fell to like the best possible sport that she always proved to be, and her ingenious ability has afforded marvelous assistance. We will always remember Mary as the tall, stately girl who, even in her first years here, possessed a goodly amount of that delectable but rare quality known among the hierarchy as “Senior dignity.” At first impression, Mary might seem a bit austere and reserved, but all this superficial aloofness, as it were, vanishes when one comes to know her.

At first, Helen seems to be demure and unassuming, but soon we learn that she possesses an amount of poise and self-assurance that is surprising. No matter how difficult the task, she attacks it bravely and sees it through to a finish. Helen’s generosity is not restricted to the circle of her immediate friends. Anyone who chooses may enjoy the comfort of her cosy room and partake of the goodies that she receives in her many boxes from home. With Helen, hospitality is not a duty but a joy.

For a while, in Freshman year, Betty acted as Assistant Cheer Leader, but then another field claimed her, and becoming a guard on our team she was forced to forsake her former position. This did not entirely cramp her style in assisting materially with the matter of cheering, for she occasionally dropped around and acted most efficiently in the capacity of chief-high-detector of eaves- dropping Sophs. Remember the barn incident? No more is necessary. Betty is unusually impulsive, and never the least bit backward in acting as ringleader in any prank. Perhaps that was the reason that she was never exactly heralded as a “House Mistress’s joy.” We have reason to believe that Betty’s popularity is not confined to college life, for she is an unfailing week-ender, and nothing short of Founder’s Day or, perhaps, an unfinished stenog. assignment could keep her here.

There is an indefinable something in her voice which has made her the most universally loved singer in college. What this quality is, we do not know, but the applause which follows the breathless silence during her singing is enough evidence that in her voice we hear the “Sweetest Story Ever Told.” That is the impression Hazel has made on most of us.

Big-hearted is an adjective that seems to apply to her particularly well. Quiet, as a rule, yet she possesses a certain stubborn, forceful element that drives steadily toward a goal and reaches it despite all obstacles. When she finishes an undertaking, it is done thoroughly, to her own and to everyone else s satisfaction. She is an efficient manager; she seems to have a natural ability for getting work accomplished. Perhaps it is because she is such a faithful worker, herself, that other girls are so willing to co-operate with her. “Peg” is blessed with a sense of humor and a dry wit that furnishes a good deal of entertainment to her friends.

At first sight, the scholarly look on her beaming face is misleading, for though she ranks high in scholastic attainment, she is far removed from “greasy grind” fame. Above all, “Gert” is versatile; anything from gleaning a 90 in stenog to telling a cleverly-put joke is in her line. One of her favorite diversions consists in composing song parodies, and it was by means of this that we came to know her really fine vocal ability. “Gert” was the first Sophomore member of The Taller staff, and she never was the kind to shirk, but on the contrary was always eager to help “put over” the college paper in the best way possible. As a member of the Annales staff, too, she worked faithfully and managed to do justice to class work at the same time, superhuman task as it seems. For “Gert” we have visions of success, for if hard work and mental genius can gain recognition in a chosen branch of work, we expect to class “Gert” among the prize-winners at some not-far-distant date. -ifijinniniiliiiiim muu GERTRUDE McKIERNAN, B.A. Brooklyn, N.

Broad-minded and unprejudiced in her opinions, Ida is also generous and liberal of heart. True to her innate politeness and courtesy, she is one whose every action shows a . forethought for others. “To do and say the kindest thing in the kindest way” is characteristic of her. Ida is the kind of person who will always enjoy life because she enjoys the friendship and companionship of others. Belonging to that rather exclusive class, “the week-enders,” we really see very little of her. In leisure hours, however, one is sure to find her at afternoon tea or the movies.

If there is any new scheme abroad or any undertaking where co-operation is a vital factor, “M.

Mary is particularly fond of a good time, and if there isn’t a prospect of one in the “offing,” she ingeniously designs her own. Week-ends find her always ready to “step out,” and to be her companion is a positive guarantee of having the best time ever. It was her unusual ease and natural manner with which “M.

She smiles indomitably on to the end in spite of any odds. Athletics i n general, basketball, hockey, have undoubtedly contributed in making “Dinty” self-assured, confident; yet, beneath her perfect self-restraint, her ever-present poise, lie those qualities which win and hold friends; qualities which none but those who know “Dinty” as she is — generous, staunch, reliable — fully realize. These past two years as class treasurer she has assumed our financial worries, deftly piloting us past the shoals of bankruptcy, relentless in her pursuit of “class dues,” to the end that our resources never floundered.

When you settle down in study-hour to a very necessary theme, Mary will pop into the room, joyous and alive: “Got a story-book?” And not finding it, she’ll be off to a game of Mah J ong or bridge, and we settle down to work again with a sigh and an ardent longing to be like her.

When things look gloomy — pooh! it’s never too hard for “Dot” to hunt ’round awhile and discover some humorous twist to it. “Dot” often appears languid, but she is astonishingly the reverse once she decides on doing a definite thing. Even when pleasure beckons, she sees the fitness of taking it casually and in sufficiently minute doses at any one time. When the “clan” has one of its frequent jubilant meetings, “Dot” is among the foremost in “swapping stories” and in enjoying the pleasures of conversation in general. But when class-time comes, “Dot” is on the alert once again and sprints to the Gym right merrily. “Dot” is the kind of a girl whose appreciation of college life is all the more sincere because she never indulges in rhapsodies but takes things as they come. Good luck, “Dot,” and keep the good work going! One Hundred Seventy-nine mmmmM mmmm -•nnumimui ANNALES LOUISE PHILPOTT, B.A. Manchester, N. H. Manchester High School Reapers ( 2 , 3 , 4) T O LIKE Louise, one must know her. Only those who have become her friends, can realize her true sportsmanship and inherent loyalty. She possesses a keen sense of humor and the ability to describe a ludicrous situation in the words that would best bring out the funny side of it (as one would say in slang, “she hits the nail on the head ). Because of her perpetual good nature and friendliness, she holds all who become fond of her. She is the originator of the one and only “Coffee- Pot Dance,” a light, frolicsome skip, performed nightly from her room to the kitchen in Merici Hall. We’ll never forget that little dance, nor the gay repasts and the fruitless search for cups. Her clever expressions and humorous recitations, spoken when least expected, will leave a lasting impression on our minds; we will always remember her as a lively friend and a good pal.

She always knows the latest reports from Paris and can be depended upon to furnish reliable information as to whether the tendency in skirts is up or down, whether sleeves are to be worn or not, whether bobbed hair is coming back, etc. Her gowns are both numerous and lovely. She is a slim girl with dark eyes and hair, and is one of the chief ornaments of the Living Room during social hour. Her dancing is worth watching, for its graceful and sure movement is charming. Mary has had ple nty of practice in the art, as she seems to be continually either just going to a dance or coming from one. Mary’s chief role is that of the society dame, but she has other talents as well. She was Chairman of our Ring Committee, and proved herself to be both practical and efficient. That languorous manner and soft voice are most deceiving, for she can be very businesslike upon occasion.

Why, Margaret Prout, of course, and her infectious giggle ! She “laughs and the world laughs with her.” But there is also a serious side to her nature. Diligent in her work, she has proven to us her devotion to her class. As secretary of the class for three years she performed her various duties faithfully and sincerely. Margaret is of a generous nature; always taking the girls to the station or to the “ville,” even sometimes at great inconvenience to herself. There is a “soft spot” in her heart for the Navy. At every Army-Navy football game, Margaret is present, rooting frantically for her beloved colors — the Blue and Gold. We will always remember her as a pretty girl with a pleasant smile and a winning manner. Central High School, Flint, Mich. ELEANOR M.

To Qualey, life is never drab nor dull, for her imagination paints pictures as seen through the eyes of a poet, and mundane trifles fade into insignifi- cance before her cherished ideals. Yet, Qualey does not hold herself aloof, but joins us in college activities with a whole-heartedness that only an intense nature like hers can display. The desire to give us the best that is in her has resulted in her individualistic literary work which embodies genuine sparks of genius set in unrivaled style. Still, underlying all those qualities which distinguish her from the average girl, is the bond of sym- pathy through which we have come to know the warmth and depth of her nature ; through which we have learned to value her a little dearer as that cherished posses- sion — a friend.

We admire her perfect naturalness and her marked versatility. On a dance floor her ease and grace are pleasing to the eye. We will remember a certain “Apache dance” that Helen delighted us with for a long time. But Helen has some serious ambitions in life. Her interest in law is quite in keeping with her personality.

She can map out a course of action that would stagger any ordinary New Rochellite, and, moreover, she can follow it on to a successful end. Let Mary once determine that a thing shall be, and fire and brimstone cannot keep her from her purpose. Our deluded fancy has always pictured an editor as one with disheveled locks, lost papers, and many troubles, but Mary came along to shatter that image. We burst into her room, only to find her calmly reading. Yet this is the girl who in- variably finishes her numberless tasks on time. Mary is the lucky possessor of a fine voice. She is our pride and joy at oratorical contests, and she is remarkably at ease before an audience. Props and Paint cedes to her a leading place among its galaxy of dramatic stars. Mary is a born leader. She infuses in us the belief that we can accomplish hitherto undreamed results. Thus a portion of her untiring energy is communicated to us, and we are deeply grateful for it. We expect Mary to assume a leading place in any sphere that she may choose to occupy, and in which we feel sure of her success. fefek il i|a IRw MMlW Mine MARIE THELMA ROBINSON, B.S.

What time did you go to bed, last night?” “Two o’clock.” She chuckled, an infectious chuckle, deep and hearty. It was then you noted the delicate contourof her face, the sensitive mouth, the brown eyes and the lovely short curls. Before a pile of work that will make an ordinary girl begin to develop nerves, Thelma has an air of serenity quite entrancing. Moreover, she is capable and willing, wholehearted in every endeavor, and with an amazing gift of complete concentration.

Olive’s big blue eyes which never “miss a trick” (to resort to the vernacular), supply the facts, and her clever, quickly- moving brain draws the conclusions, which are generally worthy of attention and consideration. She does not study much — she does not have to — but her marks are always good. Information is her forte, but she disseminates it with discrimina- tion and can implicitly be trusted with a secret. She rises to emergencies with indomitable gallantry and with the quick common sense that characterizes her in everything. Perhaps her years in troubled Mexico have helped to develop this spirit of self-reliance. Dependable is an adjective that we associate naturally with Olive, in spite of a certain gay frivolity that she sometimes assumes and which would be apt to color our opinion if we did not know her so well. Olive is one of our West Point commuters, by the way. One Hundred Eighty-eight Stratford, Conn.

Those of us who attended the Mid-Year Play can remember her as a charming and picturesque lady-in-waiting. And she was playing not only a part, she was herself, a lovely, happy girl, full of joy and earnestness. _ In fact, in all dramatics we can find her a colorful and vivacious figure. Her histrionic ability is very fine and she has been in Dramatics since Freshman year. And besides that, she is always in great demand at the college parties, because of her beautiful singing voice. She has the slender grace of the perfect dancer and, above all, a quiet seriousness and an eager delight and interest in all the phases of college life, which has endeared her to us. mmVrSTim lilTJt One Hundred Eighty-nine MARGARET E.

Perhaps it is this fine balance of unusual attributes in Margaret that lends such dignity and poise to her demeanor. Schmidt has the ability to see worthy things in others and to disregard petty faults. With her there is no straining after popularity; yet her broad sympathy and true feeling of kinship make her universally liked and appreciated. Margaret displays a remarkable appreciation of the ridiculous. With very little warning, her serious attitude disappears, and she delights herself and us with a merry laugh that dispels care and makes life doubly worth the living.

Her lily-like beauty delights our eye, as her sweet manner endears her to our hearts. However, Rhea is more than a picturesque lady. She is a good pal; always ready for fun and gayety. She excels us all in her ability to pitch a baseball, and her magic service on the tennis court is more than we can break through. There is no desire in Rhea to excel in sports. She plays freely and joyfully, as a child would. Too, we must consider her cleverness in the field of art. This love of things beautiful seems to fit in well with our notion of Rhea. Rhea is truly a gentlewoman. She displays no violent storms of passion. Her evenness of temper makes her consistent and dependable as well as loving and steadfast. Hers is a nature that cannot exist without affection, and she bestows as freely as she receives. We, who call Rhea “friend,” know that she will be ever true and constant. m ujn HiuittuLin i wi 1 1 ) jjjj Il ' tliUJ! H.

A sympathetic dis- position and an unusual capacity for keeping her own counsel combine to make her an ideal companion. Her friendship is something to aspire to and to value highly when once won, for absolute loyalty and dependability characterize it. She has foresight and a fine sense of proportion ; she is not swayed by the moment s hasty impulses or by mere general opinion, for she considers and weighs carefully and fairly before she pronounces judgment. Margaret possesses a cleverness and thoroughness that warrant her success in whatever she puts her mind to, whether it is in the line of study or other undertakings. A delightful sense of humor that enables her to see even a joke on herself (the true test of a sense of humor), gives completeness and balance to her character.

Perhaps that is because of her sound, practical common sense and her earnestness of manner. By nature, she is conscientious and trustworthy. She is one who dislikes sham; one who, having formed a few friendships, remains true to them. There is about her an air of independence and dignity. Her ideas are not easily changed by the opinions of others. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon, one is almost certain to hear Elizabeth say, “Is the mail in yet? Did I have any?” Her inquiries are seldom in vain. One of her guiding principles is “be punctual.” Thus, by being around and on time, she has often proved a great help to our team when an “extra” was needed at basketball practice. In a word, a girl with lofty ideals and sterling qualities, that is Elizabeth. l ijn i mdiiiiiiui iTfmn , SlWfW ' me Crestwood, N. Y.

Life is a song and dance to her, and college but a joyful measure in it. Genevieve, the actress, deserves some little attention. In the Mid-Year Plays she always carries off her part with an unmistakable art. If you are getting up a dance or a party, “Gen” can be called upon, and relied upon, too.

She will always be active, always enthusiastic, always gay. Our; life at N. R. C. could never be dull, for she has been with us to brighten us with her good will and her good cheer.

To say that “Peg’s” popularity started with her entrance to N. R. and has never since waned is ample proof of her likable personality and her sunny nature which always makes the best of things. From time immemorial, there has been in every class a girl elevated to the honorary title of “Underclassmen’s joy,” and that is one additional distinction of “Peg’s.” While some timid Freshman, and an occasional Sophomore, may see in her only an awesome upholder of mythical Senior rights, to most of us she is more than that.

Helen is charming, care-free, gentle and kind-hearted, these traits making her one of the most lovable girls in college. A dry humor, the kind that laughs with a person rather than at him, shows her subtle mind and her pure wit. This is seen in her ready response to “wise cracks.” Her sarcastic repartee is well known. Attractive in both manner and appearance, she may sometimes be compared to an illustration in the latest number of Vogue. Her French creations and her exquisite taste in style help to make her one of the best-dressed girls on campus.

We think her rather sophisticated until some of our taunts bring forth an unexpected blush, and we see the real girl, simple, naive. Yet again, we are never able to determine when Pauline is really acting. She has mastered the art so completely that she brings it into every-day life, lending spice to ordinary occurrences. Then, too, “Polenk” is mistress of her pen. She can make it form word pictures that captivate with their vividness, their startling likeness to actuality. Who hasn’t chuckled over Pauline’s “illustrated” notebooks, notes and letters? The vicissitudes of fortune hold no dread or fear in her life. The darker the day, the more cheerful and hearty the optimism that dissipates the dullness. Pauline radiates happiness. “Come to lunch, girls, I have a check.” “Polenk” is extending an invitation to all. Her generous, spontaneous impulses are sincere. A little later, Pauline, with that indefinable air of “noblesse oblige” which surrounds her, is presiding over a little blue table at the “Neighborhood” — witty, debonair, clever, entertaining.

A week-end spent in Atlantic City or in New York City, perhaps, are just exponents of “Gen’s” joy in life. “Gen” can be sociable and at the same time do enough work to be one of the very proficient B.

Combined with her other abilities, Rosemary ranks high in scholastic attain- ment, as her records will testify. Whether she has as magnetic an influence over her books as over her friends, it is hard to say; but one thing is sure — she obtains worth-while results.

While we idle, she applies herself well, and when the end of the semester comes, bringing its toll of exams, we are always glad that she has been able to resist temptation.

One cannot come into contact with Lucile without responding to her happy influence and concluding that there are still many bright spots in life. Sincerity and a sympathetic understanding of another ' s troubles bespeak her kind and generous heart, and have made for her many warm friends.

The tense- ness of exam time seems to vanish completely,, and here, under the guidance of a rarely cultivated intellect, we are extricated from the labyrinth of fumbled ideas and confused facts. The scene shifts, and we find Loretta one of many merrymakers, her clever repartee and surprising witticisms contributing to the jollity of the group until all suddenly becomes hushed — M. Loyola has paid another visit to the mezzanine floor. There, among confused Seniors, stands the unruffled “Lorett.” What can pierce that cool, calm and collected exterior? Loretta’s judgment is like a pendulum, swinging within a rational scope, always striking the happy medium. She comprises a determining force in our lives and offers to her friends a wealth of sincerity. Loretta at first held an unostentatious place among us ; the genius of the student, the worth of the friend, hidden under a cloak of unassumed simplicity. Yet, today, in the inheritance of the class, stands the girl we have come to love and know — dependable, reliable, trustworthy and true, standing on the top rung of the ladder at N. R. C.

Mount Vernon High School S HIRLEY has a definite aim in life — service to mankind. When she came to us in Freshman year, her ambition to study medicine had already been defi- nitely formulated. Since then she has been delving deeply into the higher sciences, far beyond the understanding of the average N. R. C. student. What Shirley does, she does well. Her high scholastic position will stand as a testimony. In the business of friendship, too, she has been thorough. She chooses her friends deliberately and then remains true to them through every adversity. Much of our observation of Shirley is confined to the classroom. There we see a shiny-haired, brown-eyed miss, intensely interested in the subject-matter at hand. We trust that her interest will not wane and that her noble purpose may be realized. Two Hundred Nine (Dim i u i m i hh m r nip gr.iiiigfs - MARGARET DOLAN One of the sweetest girls who ever lived. Her smile came direct from the depths of a loving heart and at- tracted friends without effort. Generous, always will- ing to be helpful, eternally amiable, how could we do otherwise than love her. Her sincerity we accepted as beyond question; her sprightly wit amused but never hurt us. Beneath a merry mask she hid, with all- enduring patience, the pain she often suffered. How little we suspected, when she started for home that sunny November day, that we should never see her again. No member of ’24 will ever forget Margaret; she will remain one of the pleasantest and yet one of the saddest memories of our college days. In Hbmnriam ALICE MUNDY “To know her was to love her.” We can truthfully say this of the Alice who cheered our Freshman days. She always had a song in her heart and a smile on her lips. Alice was one of us — a true friend, a kind sup- porter, and a regular pal. Alice was a girl who had high principles and she always had the courage to stand up for them. Among the sweetest memories of Fresh- man year is the blue-eyed Alice from Wilmington, and so, though gone, she will live forever in our garden of memory.

We are indebted to each one on the team for her own special efficiency. MARY MOORE Mary, as captain of the team, has been its inspiration and working spirit. Mary plays with almost perfect technique. The combination of “Dinty” and a basketball has always inspired confidence among us on the side-lines, for it in- evitably means a rise of the score in our favor. GERTRUDE McKIERNAN We give our hand to “Gertie” for her hard and faithful work on the team, for seemingly being everywhere on the floor at one and the same time; for her habit of suddenly disappearing under a heap of girls, and then reappearing like magic, bringing the ball up with her. Most of all, we admire “Gertie” for her fairness and her all-around good sportmanship. BEATRICE W ASSERSCHE I D “Bee,” as center, is in a place well suited to display her exceptional athletic ability. She is one of the two reasons why opposing teams have found it nearly impossible to break up our center. We will’never forget “Bee” and her playing at N.R. C. Two Hundred Sixteen mmUsm s|| | mm m rosanna McDonough We have mentioned above that “Bee” was one of the two on whom we depend for the strength of our center. “Roxy” is our other “main stay.” However, we want to express our appreciation not only of her excellent work as side-center but also for her dependability and competency as manager of the team. VIRGINIA BEEGAN Whenever Virginia “Bee-gan” worked, we sat up and took notice. Virginia has the knack of doing many things on the floor and at the same time appearing as though she were doing regular gym drill work. Her steadiness and her quickness have always been big assets for ’24’$ team. GERTRUDE O’NEILL “Gert” has always had ’24’s interest at heart. No matter what the cost, she stuck to the post to the very end. “Gert” does not specialize in basketball alone; she goes in for every kind of athletics. It is on account of girls like “Gert,” that we at New Rochelle admire the athletic girl. ELEANOR HULL Eleanor played on the second team for the first three years and, consequently, it was not until Senior Year that we saw her work as guard. It is sufficient to say that since then we are gratified that she will be one of the bearers of the Class Numerals of 1024. ALLENE CUMMINGS To Allene we give unlimited thanks, not only for her work as sub-forward but also for her gameness, her general willingness and, her enthusiasm. She well de- serves the numerals awarded her. Come on, Peg, “let’s give them a rousing cheer.” Shall it be “Tiddi ri” or “with a vivo” ? It doesn’t make any difference. They all mean that we are proud of our team ! Two Hundred Seventeen JjJ. tiuf n ittlnuimi t hum Jl mu- lit, Ti,Tii? Tftfi Two Hundred Eighteen Monday , June qth Senior Class Day Senior Breakfast, A.

Waldron, ’19 Mary Shaughnessy, ’19 Florence O’ Grady, ’i8 Harriet Vlymen, ’19 Theresa Regan Sasseen, . President . Vice-President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary . Treasurer Alumnae Activities Alumnae Athletics Two Hundred Twenty-two In undergraduate days, one is apt to conceive of an Alumnae Association as an organization whose members are bound together by common reminiscences and loyalties; and though it is not our intention to minimize the importance of remi- niscences, we do wish to make it clear that under the present administration, the Association has been too keenly alive as an Alumnae body to be regarded merely as a retrospective group of semi-social character. The Alumnae has a very full life of its own, and under the progressive guidance of Miss Virginia Waldron, president, is at present promoting various activities within its, ranks. We are justly proud of the enviable record made by our Basketball Team, whose members, former wearers of college letters, still play true to form, and who in the last year have gained several noteworthy victories. The Association has been socially active during the past two seasons. It was formally decided that two affairs be held in 1923; one for the benefit of the New Rochelle Building Fund, the other for the Alumnae House Fund. Following this decision, a Supper-Dance was held in January, 1923, at Plaza Hotel, and a Theater Party rounded up the festivities of Reunion Week-end in April. In May of this year a Supper-Dance is to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria for the Alumnae House Fund which is to be used ultimately to purchase suitable Alumnae quarters in the heart of the city. Last April witnessed the first Alumnae Reunion at College, and so successful was this venture that it has been decided that subsequent to 1923, Alumnae Re- unions shdll be held on campus every third year and shall supersede the Class Reunions. Another innovation of the present administration is the Bulletin, the official Alumnae publication, which is distributed gratis to all active members of the Association. The necessity for such an organ has long been felt, not to supersede the Quarterly but rather to supplement it and to give to the graduates the strictly Alumnae news which is of interest to them. The official organ of the Association is the Bulletin, in which, from time to time, appear financial statements, treasurer’s reports, accounts of Alumnae activities, the minutes of Executive Committee meet- ings, etc., etc., to say nothing of those items in lighter vein which grow dearer to the Alumnae hearts as time and distance separate us more and more. On Friday, December 14th, the 1923-4 season opened with a decisive defeat at the hands of the Community Club Team of Bogota, N. J., to the tune of 32 to 19. The line-up for the game was as follows: Forwards, Virginia Waldron, ’19, Mary McMahon, ’22; Centers, Anna Viane, ’21, Kathryn Hendrick, ’22; Guards, Harriet Vlymen, T9, Lillian Buena, 21, Abigail Meagher, ’23. uijni • minuiium nii ] ! It ' ■■■■■■ (Sfe iHiimnuni mm iBSSSsasjSs On Wednesday, December 19th, the Alumnae Team played against the Carroll Club of New York City. Although the score favored the Carroll Club for three quarters of the game, the Alumnae Rooters, led by Olive March and Anne McMahon of T 5, faithfully cheered their team. But even the opposing side joined in the cheers during the last quarter, when the Alumnae Team, undaunted by a handicap of 6 points, literally whirled on to victory, making 1 1 points in the last four minutes. The final score was 36 to 32. Line-up of the game: Forwards, Virginia Waldron, ’19, Mary McMahon, ’22, Mary Maher, ’21 ; Centers, Harriet Vlymen, ’19, Kathryn Hendrick, ’22; Guards, Lillian Bueno, ’21, Anne Maxcy, ’19, Helen McManus, ’22. On Friday, January 4, 1924, a return game with the Carroll Club was played on the home court at 109th Street. The final score was 21 to 13, favoring the Carroll Club. Line-up of the game: Forwards, Virginia Waldron, ’19, Anne Maxcy, ’19; Centers, Anna Viane, ’21, Kathryn Hendrick, ’22; Guards, Lillian Bueno, ’21, Harriet Vlymen, ’19, Abigail Maher, ’23. On January 19th, the Alumnae Team suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Varsity Team of St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn. The score was 46 to 6. It gives no indication of the fight the New Rochelle girls put up throughout the game, but it does attest the splendid playing of the forwards of St. Joseph’s Team- After the game, the Alumnae Team was entertained at tea by St. Joseph’s Team. The line-up for the game was as follows: Forwards, Virginia Waldron ’19, Mary Maher, ’21 ; Jumping Center, Anna Viane, ' 21; Side Center, Kathryn Hen- drick, ’23; Guards, Harriet Vlymen, ’19, Abigail Meagher, ’23. Helen McManus, ’22, substituted for Abigail Meagher in the second half. February 6th, the Alumnae Team played the Tappawingo Club at Savage School, New York City. Showing a complete reversal of form over that displayed in the previous games of the season, the team held the Tappawingos to a tie score, 13 to 13. Honors for brilliant playing were earned by Anna Viane and Harriet Vlymen. The team that opposed the Tappawingo Club was: Forwards, Virginia Waldron, ’19, Anne Maxcy, ’19; Centers, Anna Viane, ’21, Kathryn Hendrick, ’23 ; Guards, Harriet Vlymen, ’18, Abigail Meagher, ’23. The ardent rooters (there are a few!) of the Alumnae Team witnessed with the utmost feeling of joy and elation the Alumnae-Varsitv game at N. R. C. on Feb- ruary 1 5th. The Alumnae Team played as it had never played before. This is the second time in the College history that an Alumnae Team has defeated a Varsity, and it is with no small amount of pride that we tell of this year’s victory. The Alumnae Team led in the scoring all through the game, but the final score of 24 to 23 shows what a slight margin they held. The game was a fine one from the point of view of the spectator. The pass-work of both teams was excellent. To have Two Hundred Twenty-three IMjraj (Dim Il Mlt defeated a team such as this year s Varsity, the Alumnae Team considers an achievement and ample reward for the hard hours of practice that the team has faithfully put into this season’s work. Alumnae Team : Forwards, Virginia Waldron, ’19, Mary McMahon, ’22; Centers, Anna Viane, ’21, Kathryn Hendrick, ’22; Guards, Harriet Vlymen, ’19, Abigail Meagher, ’23. Varsity Team: Forwards, Mary Moore, ’24, Gene McMahon, ’26; Centers, Rosanna McDonough, ’24, Mary Coleman, ’26; Guards, Anne Reardon, ’25, Isabelle Stone, ’26. Helen Kolbe, ’25, substituted, for Rosanna McDonough in the second half. ; ; , The Alumnae as a whole will share the disappointment df the team at the fact that the Smith College Alumnae Team is not organized this year. The reply to the challenge sent them was a statement to that effect. They are considering getting together again, so perhaps next season will give us an opportunity to meet them. Two letters were sent to the captains of last year’s Barnard Alumnae Team, asking for a game, No reply has been received. We are hopeful that next season s schedule will have games with Barnard Alumnae as well as Smith. Two Hundred Twenty-four IHliijl m i nmi ' [ j Dear Folks With crabbed Profs. With Ec. and Ed.

The wide world beckoned and called to us. We answered, but found it not so fine; Lights that had lured us soon failed to shine. Til a day of adventure dawned bright and clear, Bringing a message to all, far and near, For our Aliys had found this beautiful site Where nights are so starry and days are so bright. The railroads got busy and built us a station, And each 24-ite sought this destination, With houses a-plenty, and each one a prize, A church and fine school buildings, wondrous in size, Our parks and our gardens, so worthy of boast, And each girl brought with her those whom she loves most. So here it stands, great Busyville, Where all know love and none do ill. Lately, we’ve lured Father Brady away From New Rochelle, and he’s here to stay. At the top of the hill, facing this way, Stands our hospital ; ’twas planned by Kay. Dr. Dwyer is at its head, And Schmidt helps her wonderfully, ’tis said Two Hundred Thirty-eight i� siip £ui ‘• ' Mi |r ft ' . Two Hundred Thirty-nine Mil) Mi Alongside, the nurses’ home is seen ; T was founded by our own Pauline. Olive Russell and Peggy Lynch Assist her. At no task they flinch. Philpott is dietitian, still as gay! With food she tempts all ills away. As a chemist, Shirley is quite competent; On test tubes and bottles she’s become intent. The library has just been finished this year, Barbara Neurenburg advises us here. As blithe and as bright as ever they were, Virginia and Ruth always work with her. Our schools are as fine as any could be, For Loretta directs them quite capably. Both Julia and Kay have joined the school board; Casey and Marney add their effort toward This problem. Helen Sullivan and Genevieve Swint Are teaching the children. No effort they stint. May Bell has founded a kindergarten school. And Goebbels teaches swimming in their little pool. Elizabeth Sheehan, Maye Mooney, too, Teach by such methods as we never knew. We can boast of a school where the children love to go, The dancing class of Margaret Ryan and Helen Reynaud. Our high school is our joy and pride; Louise Carew is to preside As the new principal. Wonder you may, Betty Leitner is dean. She’s good, we’ll say. Her assistant, too, fine laurels does earn. Can you believe it — she’s jolly Claire Byrne. Catherine Devin is giving a course in deportment. Margaret Scully teaches Math in every assortment. Irene Bickle and Theresa have written essays On the teaching of classics in the schools, nowadays. Peg St. John, as able as ever, Keeps the high school office together. With typewriter keys noiselessly flying, Veronica Bero and Helen Laydon in speed are vying. Ida Maher wins the children’s good favor, When she’s around, they’re on good behavior. Marion Hines joins the young ones in all their fun, Her delight in their pleasure is never done. Mary Moore wins our highest esteem; She keeps up her home and yet coaches our team. We know that our friends will be happy to hear, We’re sending a squad to the Olympics this year. Gert. O’Neill is absorbed in her family, Still, she governs our playgrounds well, we see. When we see Spies and Ray we easily guess That marriage for them has been one long success. Gen Boyle is a charming and dutiful wife; Contentment is hers in her happy home-life. Anita and Plunky, Dot Cogan, ’tis true, Are happily married in Busyville, too. Anna Conway has joined the wedded throng; With her, nothing ever seems to go wrong. Irene Davis Houghton has won fame of yore As the very first bride out of ’24. Hazel and Gretchen fill us with delight ; Their gift of melody makes life seem bright. Catherine Meagher’s harp music is gentle and sweet; Her concerts are welcomed and hailed as a treat. Archer’s brilliant novels have made her name well known; Her genius makes us proud to claim her as our own. Two Hundred Forty imu imtHnVnn 1 ! 1 1 ;,, ' Miifji. iii,_xi� _ii.,,iin, , m : ?Z$u zn We’ve a home for the orphans of neighboring towns, And the children don’t have to wear queer-looking gowns. Margaret Reardon’s a mother to each little one, And Ruth Bero says that to mind them is fun. Mary Walsh lost her heart to one little tot; She adopted the kiddie right on the spot. Al. Dillon and Clare Hoxie give time in full measure To bring to the young orphans something of pleasure. Although Mildred Barry, most every day, Makes frantic efforts to chase them away, Each dog that is masterless seeks Thummy’s door ; There welcome awaits him. He’s homeless no more. Our leading town garage is owned by Bee ; She diagnoses car diseases expertly. The Green and White taxis are run by Margaret Prout; They’re at our beck and call to carry us about. Cleta’s hobby is cars; she has one of every kind. Whenever our autos race, she leaves us all behind. Rhea is proud of her thoroughbred horses, They ve won blue ribbons on many race courses. Our own little theater ranks with the best, For our leader and coach is Mary Demarest. Ethel Bruce and Mary Krimm play leading parts, And Gen. Shaughnessy still is winning our hearts. The newspaper should have been mentioned before — Mary Rice is its pioneer and editor. Among the reporters are McKenna and Burke ; Their interesting style lends much charm to their work. Anne Charles and Ceil Brady deal in propriety; They keep us informed of the news of society. Dot Otto is still a society belle ; She scorns all suitors who yield to her spell. Two Hundred Forty-one m mm Uimjntiuijhniii l JUij UMMUlMUJMimi UJUJ w N I stei Mary Weed is a hostess, charming and hearty, Her home is the scene of many a party. Kelly visits us whenever she can, She finally married an army man. Helen O’Neill and Margaret Igoe now are coming home; They’ve traveled far and wide, and they no longer wish to roam. Lucille Weidert’s arrangements always suit us best When we plan pleasure trips through the east and the west. Margaret Tracy and Ruth Martin came to visit, one day, With Marie Draugal and Ann Gannon, but now they choose to stay Kitty Sharpe has taken May away from the world’s fast pace, And right here in Busyville she’s free from the maddening race. Busyville has a bank as strong as Gibraltar ; With Eleanor Hull, president, it cannot falter. Mary Nugent and Helen Gray are bank trustees ; In problems of finance, they are authorities. Everywhere we hear Reba Kiley’s name; As district attorney she has won fame. The State Senate has a delegate from here, For Marie Nolan was elected this year. A specialty shoppe for milady’s fine clothes Is run by Ruth Hindelang. How her trade grows ! Grace Brennan has assembled antiques, galore, We think she is planning to open a store. Our town has two tea rooms where we love to eat ; Ma Henry and Roxie in friendliness compete. M. O. Mooney now runs a goody shop, Where we eat ice cream and drink soda pop. The beauty parlor is Helen Lauer’s, And Nan Murphy deals in fragile flowers. A movement to revive Bridge,” a game they once loved well, Is brought by Alice O’Reilly and Ora Brunnell. Two Hundred Forty-two mm gi i 1 j ijv Mil ■,:w ' ill Jjfi urn i Miiiiiaum Sjj ttl; tfcflTggg gariM niiit rrtfrdiMiiTTrilhiMrTfj Gert. McKiernan is our chief postoffice clerk, And Ann Damm assists her in this worthy work. As Statistician, Beegan makes us praise her, For no figures or graphs or maps can faze her. Ellen Boffa is public stenographer, Allene Cummings is the town photographer. The department store is becoming quite large, And here Catherine Akin is always in charge. Marion Kingsley directs the personnel, A most difficult task, but she does it well. Qualey, our prophet, has won so much fame, From North pole to South pole they all know her name The spirit of love rules our work and play, So happiness stays with us through each day. The echoing laughter of girls and of boys Gladdens our hearts and adds to our joys. Though our pleasures are simple, we’re content, ’tis true ; Because honor is known to us, and service, too. Those whose ideals are lofty, and whose purpose is pure, Will find a haven in Busyville that is secure. Two Hundred Forty-three Two Hundred Forty-four At Parting Throughout our four short years of happiness here, we have be- come attached to many of our Alma Mater’s favorite haunts, and now as we go out in farewell we bequeath to you the following : our heritage, from the preceding classes which we give you in turn only to keep for a few short years, then with the added charm of warm associations pass along to those who come after you. To our beloved Alma Mater, her guiding spirit, the Ursuline Nuns, our Reverend and dear Chaplain, Father Brady, and to our dear friends and associates, the Student Body, we pledge our undy- ing loyalty. In fair or stormy weather may we never forget those to whom we owe our ideals and inspirations. To Father Brady we leave a golden link, our friendship, that will bind us together throughout the years. To Mother Ignatius goes our warmest esteem as the living em- bodiment of broad-mindedness and justice. To Mother Loyola goes our deepest gratitude for all that she has done for us. ’24 takes with her the lasting memory of Sr. Regina’s self-sacri- fice and thoughtfulness. To Mother Xavier we leave our love, and in exchange we take with us the memory of her zeal and enthusiasm. The Juniors may have “Ulmus Silens.” This is merely a sug- gestion — nothing more ! The Senior Stairs, that haven of rest especially valuable before meal time to poor starving souls, also go to the Juniors. The divans the Freshmen may have, providing they allow the Seniors to use them once a week. Kay leaves her generosity and zeal for everything that is N. R. C. to the Class of 1928. She has plenty for all of them. To Robert we give the player piano with the provision that he take it down to Hudson Park and drown it. To Frances Xavier Loretta leaves her office as President of Alpha Alpha. To Jeanie McMahon, May Seested, Madeline Harvey, and Jerry Burke, we leave a book entitled The One I Love Belongs to Some- body Else.’’ by Mary Moore. I mmm � rnil i in i rim j |jj Mia ALES Gertrude McKenna and Mary Burke leave their supply of wit to Rosie Vidal. Mary Henry ' s boisterousness reverts to Hildegrade Clary. Bee Wasserscheid wills her speedster to Cappy, so that she can make frequent trips to Mt. Kisco next year. Pauline’s own system of reducing exercises goes to Anne O’Brien. The Advanced Physics and the B.S. students leave their pluck and courage to the whole Junior Class. That is only in case of emergency! We sure hope that their account will not be overdrawn as ours was. If it is, Professor Quinn will help them out. Marion Hines leaves her pull with MacAuliffe to Katherine Shi els. Sr. Aquinas, a regular pal, will hold a big place in our hearts forever. Louise Philpott lfeaves her helping hand to all those in distress. Angela Casey’s corner in the Quarterly goes to Alice Jolley. Dot Cogan cheerfully gives all of her superfluous points to Beatrice Hoffman. Ruth Hundenlang’s luck in Tibbits’ exams Peg Fagan may have. Kay Loth leaves her host of admirers in care of Dorothy Waters. Julia Hurley’s sunny disposition goes to Lucille Roesch. After due consideration we have decided to leave all of Helen Lauer’s boy friends to Eileen Morrissey. Dot Otto’s ultra-quota of mail we leave to Germaine Scully. The Bevos” will their youthf ul effervescence to Emy Brode- rick and Helen Gleason. Bruce, Brady, and Sheehan bequeath the noise and din of their boudoir to Olive Keefe, Helen McNamara and Esther La Londe. Eleanor Qualey- wholeheartedly leaves her zeal in debating to Eileen Bossidy. Cleat Haggerty’s athletic ability goes to Marion O’Reilley. Eleanor Hull’s commanding voice we leave to Anne Hughes. Margaret Reardon’s true womanly character to Margaret McManus. Two Hundred Forty-five , uiti li ' h m tmitif u niKUlI Aliys Dwyer leaves her dignity and personality to all future presidents of the Student Body. Peg St. John’s real honest-to-goodness cheeriness we give to Louise De Montluzin. Schmidt’s book on ‘‘Counting the Calories,’’ together with her overstock of cosmetics, is bestowed upon Mary Messenger Lynch. Thummy’s untiring energy and ability to accomplish things, to Mary Hauenstein. Gertrude McKiernan’s all-round popularity we give in turn to Dot Bailey. She merits it. Margaret Archer’s stock of brilliant ideas to Alice Lloyd. May we leave Mary Rice’s dramatic ability to someone in ’28? , Reba Kiley’s pep we leave to her little Sister Frances. Betty Leitner’s timidity goes to Alice Theban. To Props and Paint we leave the hope that they may find some- where someone who will fill the places left by Aliys Dwyer, Mary Demarest, Ethel Bruce, Krimmy and Gen Shaughnessy. The Debating Society, founded by ’24 in the year 1921, we leave to the underclasses with the hope that they will work as untiringly and as assiduously as we have to place it on a firm foundation. Sigma Chi, we leave to the Juniors, and we hope that they may extract from it as much enjoyment as we have. And, last of all, our dearly beloved class colors, Emerald and White, we leave to the Class of 1928. “Sure, ’twas the Class of 1920 gave them to 24: We’ve lived up to their standard, and we will forevermore.” And so, our life at New Rochelle ends ; It wasn’t so long ago that it started. It’s been mighty jolly to live with friends. We know how sad ’twill be when we’ve parted. We ll miss the haunts we used to know, The gym and meets and barn scenes, too, We’ll miss our little sisters so, But, most of all, we’ll miss just you, New Rochelle Two Hundred Forty-six f mrn Acknowledgments The Editor and Staff of the Annales wish to express their gratitude to Mother M.
