Text from Pages 1 - 374 of the 1929 volume:

If ■ , — Four hundred years have gone their fateful way since St. Angela Merici was di- vinely inspired to found in the city of Brescia, Italy, the Order of St. Ursula. For four centuries, the Ursulines, as brave in deed as they are no- ble in purpose, have cherished the shining ideals of St. An- gela. This heritage of inspi- ration and beauty is the birth- right of every daughter of New Rochelle. Proudly, yet humbly, guarding this legacy within our hearts, we pr ay that this jubilee year book be a colorful image of the dream of St. Angela as it has been realized in this — another Brescia, another country, and another age. -r J3cing an Accumulation of the %ia of the School Jcar and Parlicu lari y of rhe eSenior Class of the College of l|oiu l{ochcllc l cui f ochclle , J cui york.

Our Advertisers We shall not see the castle blush At the touch of dawn’s red fingers, While clinging in the still, bare elms, A shy, white crescent lingers.

Nor will the panes of Maura, Crystal lanterns filled with light, Throw us a gladsome welcome Through the quiet, campus night.

Her oft ' sought attendance at bridge parties is a proof that she plays exceedingly well. She is likewise a lover or things scientific; chemistry and physics have had an unusual hold on Madelyn during her four years at New Rochelle, and her success in this field of science marks her as distinctive. Truly she is a pro- found thinker and the possessor of a keen, accurate mind. Likewise, her popularity in the social world typifies her as a regular college girl.

Mary has distinguished herself along foreign language lines par- ticularly Spanish, and has had the unique honor of being recommended, in her junior year, as competent to teach Spanish in the high schools. Yet. few of m have known that she is a literary light. Her admission into Alpha Alpha further proves th;it she is an unusually clever and sound philosopher.

If we were allowed but one word to describe Mary, that word would be “dear.” It includes such a mul- titude of things, and the best part of it is that whatever anyone ' s requi- site for ' dearness t! is, Mary fulfills it to perfection. To begin with, she looks the part with her softly wav- ing hair, her eyes that sparkle with excitement or roguery, and that en- gaging blush which is the bane of Penny ' s existence. Appearance is a minor matter, however, when there are so many other attributes a bom Mary to con- sider. She is as straight forward and as honest as the day. Her in- nate kindliness would never allow her to hurt anyone, but at the same time, she could never tolerate arti- fice in the slightest degree. You could search the wide world over and not find a person with more consideration than Mary, On the surface, she seems as carefree and happy-go-lucky as the rest of us, hut underneath all this, she has a spirit of dependability few can boast of. We have not the space to write anything more about Mary, and we could write so much. Hut perhaps it is as well. Perfection needs no adornment. And the dearness of Mary, manifest in her shining eyes and her winsome smile, speaks for itself. . 1 ARY K AT H 1 . R ! N I . B AR RETT. B.A. Hartford, Conn.

Naturally, then, she is a jolly companion and an added pleasure in any gathering. But Rosalie does not merely en- joy life ; she helps others to enjoy it. During her four years at col- lege she has done much to support class and college functions. As one of the leading members of the Ital- ian Club, she has assisted In making this club the social and intellectual success that it has become. Press Club has also regarded her as a valuable mem her. Her enthusiasm in class affairs has been evidenced at Twenty-nine’s athletic events. Rosalie has worked well and played well, and the reward she has gained is only fitting. Her scholastic and social activities have brought her an abundance of success and pleas- ure. May it always be the same! A remarkable intelligence and a rare sense of humor are two of the greatest gifts of which Rosalie is possessed. Since we have seen ' the splendid use to which she puts both of these, and since we expect that she will continue to do so in the fu- ture— is it any wonder that we prophesy great things of Rosalie? n929 ANMALES Alpha Alpha (4): Girt Club (3); ttioloffy (3); Reapers (l, 2 , 3, 4); Spanish Club f l , 2 ) ; Athletic Ass a ciati on { 1 . 2) ; ,1 1 is si o n Day Com mi t tec (2): Little flower Society ft. 2, 3, 4): Instrumental Club ft); Opera Club ft).

But do not think that she is always quiet or serious, for there is the happy , laughing, fun- loving Flora who enjoys to the ut- most all that life brings. There is a joyous twinkle in her eyes, and a smil e that is contagious.

She loves the world of society, and one can rely on her judgments and decisions in all matters pertaining to the intri- cate art of entertainment and social activity.

Her small, graceful figure dancing about when music is played, displays a vivacious, fun- loving, yet a some- what resen ed manner. Kay can always see the light, laughable side of any situation while also possessing the great faculty of realizing the seriousness of it all. To the campus, Kay may clothe her- self in a retiring, uninterested cloak, but to her associates she has p rover a most interested, sympathetic, and sincere friend, ever ready to help. Along dramatic lines, Kay has shown remarkable talent. Unfor- tunately, she has not had the oppor- tunity to display it emphatically, yet, in her minor parts one was easily able to discern the “born actress” in our friend. Often our petite classmate would be the envy of her friends. Exams would be upon us, studying had to be done, but Kay was never found with a book in her hand until a few hours before the “battle. 1 hen her short glance through the pages expressly emphasized her scholastic ability.

Like one kissed by the wand of Pan, Mary symbolizes grace and lithe, ethereal charm in her dane- mg. Her slight form sways to the softest suggestion of the music, and her fragility and artistry alike evoke unfailing admiration, Mary is interested in the art of things, rather than in drear ma- terialism Her personality is wont to work its way with us to forget the many dismal things, and give ourselves up to jevelry and fantasy, Mary s experiences are indeed fas- cinating, and her low well modu- lated voice adds color even to a si in pie narrative. Hut there are times when Mary must eschew, for a brief moment, her captivating rem- iniscences, and heed the more se- rious, and perhaps less pleasant duties which confront her. Then she assumes a more practical man- ner, and quietly, hut efficiently, per- forms the necessary duties. Her work in the French Club is indeed commendable. The world of sports, so difficult of entry to some, is a veritable play ground for Mary. It is easy to pic- ture her enjoying the exciting ex- perience of skiing, to imagine her gliding gracefully along outlined against the pure white of the snow and the multi-colored ice banks. The facility which is a deiinitizing attri- bute of hers, may perhaps constitute the solution of the absorbing prob- lem of her never ending activities.

The fact that she has made a fine success of college is an evident fact. And this success extends to many fields. In scholastic pursuits, she has established for herself an envia- ble record. In sports, she lias been a dependable and willing player, dis- playing a proportionately fine code of sportsmanship. Props and Paint owes much to lie r ability in dramatic portrayals.

Thus, when Dot chose a friend, she offered a friendship staunch and sincere, abounding in sympathy, ready to do anything, any time, A burst of laughter, and then that characteristic little trill of Dot ' s was always a signal she was up to some prank, but her hearty laugh would weaken her resistance, and a joyful, happy hour would ensue. Thus, ’29 has found in Dorothy, a classmate decidedly vivacious, good natured, witty and most dependable.

There is a twinkle in her eves that tells without a word the abundant good nature of which her friends speak. Concetta takes life in small doses, sheds all its unpleas- antnesses and, grasping the happy moments, passes them along to others. One never finds her selfish or unkind. Indeed, H it ' s a word one requires to describe someone and asks Conceit a for it, one is cer- tain of receiving only the favorable adjective. What n treasonable gift to possess! What a friend to hrve! Concert a is busy rushing back and forth to college. She is tireless in her work. Languages shall never dismay her. She has found them a delight.

And Conceit u ' s friends eloquently hear witness to a disposition that is unspoiled i unselfish and sincere. As one remarked, With Conceit a as a friend, you know that you may al- ways expect the best in friendship and you will never want to give her less! Twenty-nine can only echo that thought.

And, when Kay has deliberately taken a stand, if principles are involved, she is ada- mant, This characteristic is indeed laudable.

Her quiet self-effacement has, per- haps. detracted from the credit which might otherwise have been accorded her. Her blue eyes are ever laughing, ever gay, and her brown curly hair waves softly about her quaintly sober countenance. Kay ' s soft, sibi- lant pronunciation is equally divert- ing. whether French or Spanish is the medium. But it is as a hostess that we see the real Kay. absorbed in seeing that all are comfortable and fittingly en- tertained. Kay is the embodiment of many qualities, only half discerni- ble. only half divined. As a student, she works industriously and success- fully, with an objective clearly in view. She is of a very happy nature, and this faculty enables her to sec the sunshine no matter how over- cast the horizon appears. She is as unchanging as the tide, as diffident as the tiny wavelets which run to cover in a friendly cove. Kay may nor he one of the moderns but this serves only to augment her quaint, inexplicable appeal. Kmukkim: Dolor ls Dugan, B..V Manchester, N. H.

This path we know has led to great achievement, and Mary ' s brilliant, earnest manner has placed her in that select little circle of the dis- tinctive few.

Her fas- tidiousness is exemplary, and results in her ever presenting an attractive appearance. She is a gay participa- tor in the social whirl, and her taste- ful costumes subtly enhance her native beauty. Although Alice has reduced to a science the abstraction of most pleas- ure from life, one could not call her an Epicurean, for at the same time she accomplishes many of the weightier matters connected with college life. Alice, we have said, is sweet, not with the saccharine sweetness so often encountered, hut she possesses that abiding sweetness which is as seldom found as myrrh. Then too T her constancy strikes a rare note today, for Alice unlike so many others, never forgets those whom she counts her friends, and no serv- ice is too great to render them. Alice has a breadth of vision and a depth of understanding which are indeed singular. And yet, there is verve and dash in Alice, together with a piquancy which makes her a wholly delightful intimate, a figure of never failing inte rest.

Kaki is a dynamo of energy — the sort of energy that expounds it- self, not In useless, futile activity, but in accomplishing things. It is not an extravagance to say that in these four years at college she has more to her credit than five or six others have together achieved. Ver- satility is a dangerous thing. One is so apt to he content with doing things moderately well, so long as one does a great many things. With Kaki. however, half-way measures would never he enough. In proof of this, one has merely to glance at the top of this page to understand the scope and the impor- tance of her record of accomplish- ments. And in addition, we recall countless instances of Kaki’s ai- in pepping up cheer practices, in or- ganizing entertainments, in doing with boundless enthusiasm and un deniable ahility the hundred and one activities which make up college life. Such a schedule does not seem to leave much room for social affairs, but with Kaki. there is always time for a gay week-end, a prom, or a game, and there are many of these.

Such an image, however, must necessarily be incomplete, for who could thus reproduce the flowing warmth of her humor, the unflagging sincerity of her purpose, tin- infinite strength of her devotion ? Ruth is a lover of knowledge, and ardently has she worshipped at her chosen shrine. Blessed with a valu- able fund of common sense, she is a delightfully human intellectual. Her scholarly pursuits have never car- ried her out of touch with the prac- tical world about her. She is too keen a student of human nature to lose herself in books.

Difficulties, in fact, pro- vide fresh stimulus and new incen- tive instead of discouragement or indifference, Mary is frankness itself. One can depend upon the absolute candor of her opinion, for she cannot tol- erate artifice in the slightest degree. Also, Mary has convictions— convic- tions that are worthwhile — and to which she holds with unflinching courage. She possesses a keen, unfailing sense of humor and a dry wit which exhibits itself at unexpected times. The laughable side of a situation, so often unnoticed, is quickly per- ceived by Mary. A steady, calm outlook upon life characterizes everything Mary does, whether it is school work or outside activity. Her sincerity and loyalty to her friends show her to be con- stant — a real, true, and treasured companion. When one sums up such attributes as these, it is not presump- tuous to predict a happy and suc- cessful future for such a worth- while girl. Dumont, N. J.

Speedy, as she is known to most of us, has a calm, precise way of going about things.

Her specialty is History and since Freshman year when most of us had to struggle with Modern European History, Speedy has been the envy of many. Edna’s appreciation for the humor- ous side of life, her desire always to lend a helping hand, and her clever- ness in arguing those topics which in- terest us all, have won for her a wide circle of friends.

That is not the right expression to use in reference to Teddy, and yet there is an idea in it that we should like to make use of. There aren’t many who are as popular as Teddy. There aren’t any who can claim a larger host of friends. Her irrepressible good spirits and a superabundance of en- thusiasm have made her a leading spirit in the fine art of frolicking. Her inexhaustible willingness to pitch in and work has made her in- dispensable to all college activities, Small wonder that she has been chosen to “Chairman” so many par- ties, for she possesses that rare fac- ulty which makes one eager to work with her and for her. Yet, though we love her gaiety and sportsmanship, how many of us appreciate fully the fineness in Teddy — the unswerving loyalty which is so vitally a part of her; the innate kindliness that would make her scorn to hurt anyone, even in the slightest degree. Yes, though we count ourselves lucky now in knowing Teddy, it will be only in the years to come that we will realize completely the priceless value of her friendship. Eleanor Lynch, B.A. Brooklyn, N.

Looking at Kay we would say that good things do come in small packages. Where in the world would we find a more compact and dainty package of goodness and fine- ness? It is difficult then to picture Kay in words of fit appreciation. Mere description of appearance or qualities is incapable of conveying the admirable spirit behind them. And it is spirit that matters! Like most splendid people Kay insists upon being quietly unobtru- sive, in spite of striking ability and outstanding talents. She has a very clever pen which has supplied the pages of Tatler and Quarterly often and brilliantly. Her scholastic abil- ity is unquestionably excellent. Yet there are things about Kay more endearing than this. She has the gift of sympathetic and under- standing kindliness. There is the quietness about her of a high cour- age and an undaunted heart. She is a stalwart champion of high stand- ards and right convictions — and her gay laughter and twinkling eyes know how to brighten a dull or dif- ficult time.

She goes her peaceful way, calm and un- ruffled by any chance disturbance, always interested in others, always ready to assist them in work or trouble. It is this quiet willingness that is one- of her notable character- istics. We also appreciate her kind- liness and tact, her gentleness and consideration. Her cheerful and ever-readv humor leads us to believe that somewhere within there is a sly little elf just waiting for a chance to come out and sport himself. He is really a charming little fellow, too. Irene’s loyalty in friendship car- ries over into her scholarship which is excellent, conscientious and care- ful. Graduation is her well de- served honor. For two years Irene has been a faithful and important member of the French Club and the society owes many of its pleasantest meetings to her cooperation. She is neat and trim in appear- ance, efficient yet sweetly unassum- ing and sterling in character. We feel sure that Irene will always be a true daughter of New Rochelle and one in whom Alma Mater can take a just pride. Irene McCambridge, B.A Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

It is not easy to express in mere words the warm life and charged vivacity of early autumn; how then portray the radiant person who is Gert? The throbbing golden sun- shine is found again in the blithe- ness of her manner, in her appear- ance. The clean, deep blue of the sky has a replica in her happy eyes, in her shining qualities. And again, her sparkling animation and ready wit are reminiscent of the keen, refreshing atmosphere of a fall day. As truly modern as tomorrow Gert’s vivacity and energy have been manifested in the difficult art of cheer-leading as well as in the effi- cient fulfillment of a Prom Chair- man’s responsibilities. The infec- tious happiness of her disposition is responsible for warmed hearts, jolly memories and countless friends. These surface characteristics con- note truly the deeper Gert. There is something about the sturdy lift of her chin that tells of resolute character. And in the straightfor- ward blue of her eyes is found a sure capacity for profound love and spirited loyalty. The autumn with its beauty must, of necessity, disappear with the sea- sons, but its parallel charms that live again in Gert will never fade. Warmth of manner, trueness of heart, and magnetism will be hers forever. And not hers alone but everyone’s, for Gert meets life with a valiant gesture, generously sharing her inestimable gifts.

Julie is the quintessence of sophis- tication, of graciousness. Her mod- ishly attired figure invariably pro- vokes favorable comment. The in- conquerable joie de vivre which is characteristic of her stimulates us too. Julie is exquisitely tactful, and in her one finds the cordiality and grace which are connotative of a true hostess. There is an ethereal fragility about Julie which is belied by her competent efficiency. Her talents are diverse, and permit her to achieve enviable results with a min- imum expenditure of time and ef- fort. One notes in her, among the other striking qualities, a vivacity which enhances the appeal she has for us. One is always willing to surren- der to her captivation and to her fleeting caprices. Her blithe and insouciant manner are in themselves attractive, and this attraction is more than doubled by the one in whom we find them. Slight and lis- some, Julie has won a warm place in our affections, a place which will never be surrendered to one less bewitching, less sparkling or less gay.

Clare turns toward life with the shining, faith-lit eyes of the optimist, a steady mind and a friendly heart. Knowing Clare, one feels the lilting glow of her companionship. Her humor is a genial thing. Her gen- erosity is measureless and willing; her kindness is unobtrusive, yet it is a comforting bounty, simply given and gladly received. There is a studious vein in Clare that nicely balances her happy dis- position. Her keen interest and her careful attention to things scholastic have stored up for her much that is worthwhile. Yet Clare is unobtru- sive in her pursuit of knowledge as in other things. Knowing her as a patron of the theatre, or meeting her in the person of a charming hostess, one is apt to overlook Clare, the student. It is a fine trait in one, who is able to advance surely herself, to be ready to turn aside to aid another. Because her humanity is so gracious and her heart so light, Clare is sure of success, — not the blatant triumph of cymbals, hut the surer, sweeter victory of melodies tuned to the heartstrings, vibrant with peace and love.

Everyone on campus knows Mac. Her ready smile and cheerful “Hello” greets one each time she comes near. Many of us envy her gay spirit and happiness of person- ality. It is not surface-coated, either, but reaches into the very depths of Mac’s character. She is true blue from the top of her dark locks to the light-stepping dainti- ness of her trimly-shod feet. Mac loves the social swirl, too, and al- ways seems to be excited over a past incident or joyously speaking of one to come. Her very enthusiasm im- parts itself to her companions, and one can be positive of finding her the center of a laughing, happy group. Mac’s endless generosity and un- selfishness make one realize what a good friend she is. Her frendship is valued inestimably by her own lit- tle group. They form a happy, fun- loving circle of sincere friends, the equal of which would he difficult to discover. This sincerity and unself- ishness which have been the nucleus of success for them will be one of the foremost reasons why Mac must succeed. Marie Gertrude McGilvray, B.S Wakefield, Mass.

A womanly woman, enhanced with beauty and culture, is a glo- rious gift to give to man. 7 hrough the several years, ’29 has accepted Bunny as a happy part of its activities; we have come to un- derstand better the mysterious wist- fulness of her large, dark eyes, the tenderness of her smiles, and the gentleness of her ways that make of Bunny a womanly woman in the full sense of the meaning. Bunny has always been the dainty centre of a social whirl of weekends that four years of college have rapidlv increased. Only those who know her well have slipped behind hei quiet reticence to find the splendoi of her character as fine as she h lovely. If it is sympathy or laughter, un- derstanding or gaiety you seek, we send you to Bunny, certain that you will there discover the treasure. Of her fascination, her unswerving loy- alty to friend, there is no need of written record. She is and always will be an exquisite record unto her- self — and to those who love her.

Irene of the gentle voice and quiet manner is an example of profound and lasting sincerity; having the gaiety and joyousness of life, she has gathered around her many happy friends and chums. She finds great pleasure in numerous social activi- ties, but she is not selfish, as Irene always seeks the greater enjoyment of sharing her good times with her companions. Unlike the vast throng of social maidens, she has another charm which presents to the knowing friends a phase of seriousness and thought. One can easily talk fool- ishly or deeply with this dusky- haired young lady. She has a gift of understanding and sympathy which reaches out and touches one as would a softly swinging spray of fragrant honeysuckle.

Agnes Elaine! and in those two names is indicated a picture of Ag. For it is Ag with whom we are best acquainted, the dry quality of whose humor has more than once caused an upheaval of emotion, whose irre- pressible buoyancy has always con- stituted an abiding charm. Ag, too, symbolizes boyhood with its refresh- ing candor, its sense of fair play. And Elaine — strikingly sophisti- cated, subtle, in whose dark eyes more than once we have perceived a dreamy, retrospective gaze; whose tall, well costumed figure invaria- bly attracts attention of an approv- ing, even envious nature. It must be the Elaine whose scholastic achievements make us pause, in whose mature discrimination we have lasting faith. But it is Ag, the witty, the indom- itable, toward whom we turn when cares outweigh the more pleasant things, and it is she who dispels gloom, and bids worry depart. Al- though we think of her as a para- doxical creature, it is with the real- ization that the affection we have for her is only deepened by her indi- vidual nature, and that in this very difference between her personalities lies the key to the appeal of her personality, for the combination is as nearly perfect as anything we know.

Even if the occasion demanded it, Regina could never be successful in attempting to portray an expression of austerity, for her eyes would be- tray her. No amount of effort could keep them from sparkling with amusement, for Regina’s sense of humor is the sort which never fails, and her eyes express more effectu- ally than tongue could tell, the huge amount of fun which she manages to find in this workaday world. It is a precious gift — this ability to discover the laughter which lurks behind the most prosaic situation. In case some misguided person might be led to believe that such a trait might be carried too far, we hasten to add that Regina has a graciousness and a spirit of kindli- ness too deeply ingrained to allow such an unfortunate happening. Regina possesses the most lovable attributes of the modern girl. She has pep, she has prettiness, she has an irresistible joie de vivre. Finally, she has alty upon which her most casual ac- quaintance might depend. Need we add that these qualities have given her friendship upon which she, in turn, may well rely?

Nick! How to describe in a few short words the never ending vista of merriment which Nick has opened for us? Memorable indeed are the happy, carefree hours which we have spent with her, now indulging in riotous laughter, now subdued by the exact and piercing quality of her observations. Nick is philosophical in her outlook, optimistic in her viewpoint. There is present a never failing absorption when one is with Nick. Her sense of comedy is sure and cer- tain, her idea of the fitness of things almost flawless. There is discerni- ble, too, a high standard of friend- ship, of loyalty, in Nick. She is an unswerving advocate of equity, and of incalculable aid to her in the pur- suance of this is her ability to up- hold her own views. There is de- termination and strength of charac- ter.

Singularly characteristic of Gladys is the placidity with which she man- ages this matter of getting a college education. Surely such tranquillity, amidst the most hectic of ever hectic collegiate affairs, bespeaks an imper- turbable philosophy and an admir- able serenity of temperament. In spite of this apparent calmness of disposition, however, Gladys pos- sesses a vivid personality. She is keenly alive to all around her and has enthusiastic interests in all phase s of college life. Because she is so straightforward and generous, she has the ability to make good and loyal friends. There is plenty of laughter in her nature, but it is more than joyous and gay. It is of that hearty feeling which makes for understanding and is one of the rea- sons why Gladys would make such a congenial companion in rough weather. The combination of these happy faculties makes up the Gladys whom we know, the Gladys whose picture we are keeping in our book of mem- ories, one of the dear members of the very dearest class.

We have watched Marg in the midst of a basketball game, her face tense and glowing with excitement; we have watched her, a slim, lithe figure, darting across the tennis court; we have watched her in the living room dancing with such gaiety that we, perforce, smiled hack at her in appreciation of her evident enjoy- ment. And from all these glimpses and many more, we have gathered one overwhelming impression of Marg — an impression into which color, and verve, and love of life are inextricably fused. In athletics, Marg is Twenty- nine’s champion. But one does not need to stop there. In sportsman- ship, in fair play, Marg has no peer. No one has ever heard her speak in a deprecating manner of anyone. In fact, disparagement is the sort of thing one does not care to attempt in her presence. Marg is true blue. Her loyalty extends not only to her friends but to her college, whose traditions she has tenaciously upheld. It is of such daughters as Marg that New Rochelle is justly proud. And it is among the annals of that Alma Mater that such steadfastness and love will ever he recorded. Margaret Mary Maloney B.A. Great Barrington, Mass.

Laughter is a fine, sane thing, and equally sane and fine is our curly- headed Lib, to whom belongs that special gift of evoking laughter. Natural wit runs through her like a vital current, and the result is happiness. Gaining the love of friends is Lib’s other great art. Her feeling of sincere comradeship for all is its secret. She is light-hearted, unselfish, and staunchly loyal, and so, her friends are legion. But the heady draught of complete popular- ity has not in any way diminished her unaffected friendliness. 1 here is no one who can rival Lih on the basketball court. Skillful playing and admirable sportsman- ship combine to make her indispen- sable to Twenty-nine’s team. H ow- ever, it is a more serious Lib who, from Freshman year, has displayed an ardent enthusiasm in the college missionary work. Such an interest is merely a broader application of her universal goodfellowship and innate kindliness.

As the last embers of the fire flicker and yet remain, the dying sparks seem to mirror, in our fancy, a figure which once so clearly dis- tinct, is enveloped now in the haze which the years have deepened. But slowly, imperceptibly, the features become discernible and now, before our dim gaze is Anne. Words, words, and how futile a medium with which to paint a portrait of delicate hues and lasting coloring; with which to express a friendship of which generosity, sincerity, and understanding were links, forged in the fire of experience! Anne is a diminutive bit of a girl, whose admirable qualities should, of their very weight, bear her down. But Anne is irrepressible, and rises by reason of her buoyancy. She is equable, yet scornful of anything unworthy. She is complaisant, but unswerving when a principle is in- volved. She is childlike in her naivete, yet mature in her judg- ments. Her neatness is proverbial, and displays itself not only in her fastidious dress, but even more nota- bly in her well ordered mind. Anne’s practicality may be likened to the gray sky of early morning, pierced here and there by the rose of her idealism. But, above all, Anne is loyal, and when we have said that, we have paid a high tribute. And now, while the moments have recorded our memories, the fire has quietly burned itself out, and with it has taken the unforgettable remainder of former times, leaving only the charred rem- nants of our fantasy.

Where cooperation and help are needed, one can always rely on Rose. She is ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Her work for Twenty-nine on the basketball team is known but few realize all that she does in other ways. Her disposition is one of cheer and happiness. Though she attacks her work with an earnestness that means great ac- complishment, she is never too rushed to give aid, often when it is most needed. Her true, unselfish nature is one of great depth and it characterizes every undertaking and every task. Rose never slights the smallest detail, and this signifies the earnestness and capability which is hers. Her motto seems to be “Do all things well,” for she always comes through with flying colors. One can not help but admire her ambition and her progress. Each prophesies most clearly and most certainly the outcome of her career. Just as she has succeeded in New Rochelle, so, too, will she carry forth all that we have found typical of Rose — her sportsmanship and progress. Rose Antoinette Mazarella, B.A Paterson, N. T.

It is a sign of Rose’s wisdom and good taste that she decided to change from Wittenburg in Ohio, where she started her collegiate career, to come to New Rochelle. More than that, it was an especially felicitous gain for New Rochelle when this dark, quietly serious young lady came to find her place in the class of Twenty-nine. It is at once obvious that Rose possesses the sweetest of disposi- tions. There is a faint, gladsome smile ever lurking on her face that tells one, better than words, that it expresses a kindliness, a sympathetic interest, a helpfulness and perhaps even a little shyness. However, since coming to New Rochelle, Rose has become interested in many col- lege activities and has maintained an excellent rating in the classroom as well. There is a really enviable calm- ness and equanimity about Rose. Evidently such characteristics are due to her attractive sense of justice and fairness to a charming and spontaneous sensitiveness to the humor of any situation. Because she is sincere, unselfish and warm- hearted, Rose has made many real friends at New’ Rochelle. We feel that she will go on doing so in the years to come, and that happi- ness will follow’ her.

Though we have not seen so much of her as we would wish this last year be- cause she decided to become a day- student — yet our regard for her has not diminished. Louise is a pert young woman who tries in vain to hide her clever- ness, but a pair of lovely brown eyes gives her away. If we did not know, they would almost tell us about Louise and her various scho- lastic and musical and artistic abili- ties. Louise is gifted in many ways.

Mildred has all the charm of a born aristocrat; she is tall and slen- derly built; both her carriage and poise are graceful; her features are finely and delicately cut; her hands are slim with long, tapering fingers, and her large green eyes like the green of untroubled waters are shaded with fringing lashes and lovely arched brows.

A young birch bending pliantly in the wind, or Kay walking gracefully across campus — either picture one to evoke appreciation. Kay — ever pleas- ant except now and then when some unwarranted statement receives the condemnation of her flashing blue eyes. The contour of her features is unmarred by any irregularity. Her innate sense of fine discrimina tion serves but to enhance her natu- ral charm. Kay’s nature transcends the petty annoyances of every day and con- cerns itself rather with what lies beneath the surface. And this is peculiarly appropriate, for one must do likewise when considering Kay; one is forced to penetrate the ob- vious to arrive at a more perfect understanding of the girl.

Four years make changes in many people — especially four college years. With Ruth, however, we haven’t discerned a very tremendous differ- ence. Four years ago we met a little freshman who seemed to he on tip- toe with enthusiasm at the sheer joy of living. Today we find in her the same sparkling eagerness, the same “ gaiete de coeur” Knowing her, though, more inti- mately now, we appreciate that which at first we did not realize — the fidelity to principle, and to friends, the quiet determination to give her best to everything she un- dertakes, the spontaneous kindliness which springs from an unselfish heart. Ruth is so appreciative of the slightest favor from anyone that we, recipients a thousand times of her gracious hospitality, feel ashamed at the matter-of-factness with which we accept so much. We are happy to say that we have found no change in a person so ut- terly satisfying as Ruth. We hope that nothing will ever take away her glowing joyousness. At any rate, we know that in the years to come, she will face the world with the same gallant little smile that we have learned to look for and to love. Rum Evelyn Nebel, B.A New Rochelle, N. Y.

Dresden! — the word evokes a pic- ture of a far-away city, an almost legendary city of beautiful dolls and delicate china. It does not seem fanciful to think, at the same time, of Meta, who is so reminiscent of lovely dolls and exquisite china. Gold and soft spun is her hair and her eyes are a gentle blue. A pink and white complexion forms a flawless setting for her small, near features. Unruffled and feminine in appearance, Meta’s pretty clothes are an eloquent expression of her fastidiousness. It has been good to have so lovely a girl in our midst, but even more deeply have we appreciated her gen- tle serenity and abiding sweetness. Meta goes her way softly and yet gets a happy enjoyment from life. Womanliness and unselfish friendli- ness make her manner a soothing one. In no field of college activity has she been negligent. In social life, in scholastic pursuits, in our affec- tions, in all these she has found a high place. Strength of character and of intellect, beauty of spirit and loveliness of appearance are uncom- mon gifts. Yet they are welded finely and proportionately in Meta, Meta who is sweetly suggestive ot beautiful dolls and Dresden china. Meta Diane Neuburg, B.A Tuckahoe, N.

To chat with Muriel is to breathe deeply of fresh, sweet air, and to leave her is to depart with an im- pression of a distinguished person- ality. One is refreshed by the pure current of her originality and stim- ulated by the amazing rush of her initiative. Also, one thrills to the fragrance of her charm, for Muriel is as feminine as she is logical. As Muriel has essayed each new project, consistent success has been hers. Perhaps, because, blithe com- rade that she is, she approaches each new task imbued with the spirit of adventure, a laugh on her lips, cour- age in her hands, and a prayer in her heart. The gods smiled on Muriel, and one of her many gifts is her voice. Its music is a slow, sweet rhapsody; it is an effective instrument for her executive ability and for the witty conversation her friends find de- lightful. A petite miss, smart and sweet, is Muriel. She wears her patrician look with a poise as quiet as it is unshakable. She has spent her col- lege years weaving a pattern of deeds rather than words. Her writing, her speaking, and her debating have been as nobly motivated as was her founding the Society of the Little Flower. Truly, it may be said of Muriel that she has lived loyalty to New Rochelle.

Like twilight, too, her dusky hair.’ ' With a smile of friendliness Mil- dred entered New Rochelle and with this same irresistible charm she will go forth to meet the world. Her manner is one that causes all worry and anxiety to flee, for she is never happy unless she is helping others. Unselfishness and loyalty are the firm basis upon which she has con- structed the poise, dignity and lova- bleness that endear her to all. She is vivacity itself, and this per- haps accounts for the beaming, blithesome Mildred we find whirling by in the ecstasy of a dance. She may be happy and charming while doing other things, but when music is playing and she is dancing, then she is truly Mildred. She enjoys with greatest enthusiasm the social activity which is an integral part of her life. She is always amusing her friends by her sparkling wit and tales of humorous incidents. Mildred is not all gaiety for there, underneath the surface of colorful joyousness we find a serious, deep- thinking mind which has all the keenness of intellect one could de- sire. Her ideals she has cherished, and she guards them as securely as one would a priceless, material gift. Mildred has mingled so effectively seriousness of character, beauty of idealism and joyousness of living that the output gives a rare gift of enduring friendship and staunchest loyalty.

There is no pretentiousness about Eleanor — it is not difficult to know her; nor is it intricate to conjure with her characteristics. We have often seen her enthusiastically inter- ested in the quip or prank of an- other, again have we seen her effer- vescent over a trick she has just played. Her disposition, so charac- teristic of optimism and her keen sensitiveness to the humorous side of everything have confirmed our be- lief that she enjoys life to the fullest capacity. Eleanor came to us in Sophomore year, and in the three years she has been with us we have been taught that there is another side to her. Here no matter what the task is, whether it be difficult or discour- aging, Eleanor never falters. Truly the endless hours spent on secreta- rial studies, and her success in this particular field give testimony that she possesses the proper knack of persistence. Whether you come in contact with the girl whose spirit hubbies over with mirth or in another mood the girl who can be serious at the right time, you will always find the Elea- nor who sees everyone as a friend, Eleanor the ideal companion — Eleanor the treasure.

Harmony is the keynote of Elea- nor’s charm. In her, culture, abil- ity, and lovableness are as perfectly blended as the notes of a melody that catches at one’s heartstrings and lingers in one’s soul. As college president, she wears a mantle of dig- nity that she can drop like an invisi- ble fairy garment when she becomes just Eleanor, the girl merry-eyed and happy, one of a group of devoted friends. As efficient executive and earnest student, Eleanor’s record is one of outstanding achievement. But it is not for the greatest things she has done or will do, but for the little, every day deeds in which her char- acter expresses its beauty, that she is loved and honored. The breadth of her interests does not lessen the depth of her enthusiasm. Profund- ity is mirrored in her every action — even in the radiant loveliness of her features framed as they are by her softly waving hair. To one who is leader, student, and friend, her classmates quaff a brimming cup, for Eleanor is a noble woman. She wears beauty like a cloak for all to see, and for the dis- criminating she holds in her eyes, which are the blue of gentians and of loyalty, the whitely burning flame of beauty — truth. 555£ JUOiLfc£ ISSU 1929 ANNALES Alpha Alpha ; Quarterly (4); Council of Debate ( 1 , 2, j, 4); Scribblers (3, 4); Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Publicity Manager (4); Opera Club (1); Biology Club (3); Rid- ing Club (4); Greater New York Club (4); Little Flower Society (1, 2 , 3, 4); Reapers (3, 4); Athletic Association (1 } 2). Winifred Stefani O’Brien! a name to conjure with. We shall conjure with it, then, and see what its owner will be. A dainty story-book lady indeed, but much more than that, for here is a character of strength and fire and beauty, a golden heart, and a soul hard to portray because of its nobility and fineness. A splen- did and inspiring idealism is hers, which she keeps as a precious treas- ure. Insincerity and sham are re- duced to nothingness before her, and her very real sense of humor will always be one of her most valuable assets. Winnie has an enviable way of doing all sorts of things well. So- cial and scholastic honors are her natural rights. For four years she has been an important member of the debating team and has held of- fice in the society with capability and distinction. Moreover, Winnie possesses a facile pen whose prod- ucts we have often enjoyed in Quar- terly. The field of history is to her a kingdom — with what enthusiasm does she interpret it! Then, too, as a sharer in the enthusiasm of others Winnie is delightful. Her companionship is a happy experi- ence.

Wit and the gift of laughter ar« precious treasures, given to so few, that the world has come to prize them as something far above even classic beauty. As Mary’s class- mates during these four years at New Rochelle, we have learnt the world’s judgment all over again in the subtle humor, the frank truth- fulness and gay camaraderie that is so essentially Mary. We have found in her all these happy qualities that go to make many gay hours and pleasant memories, and more than these we have found an underlying vein of staunchness, and of noble generosity. Mary’s scintillating wit ticisms are the froth of a capable mind. Thus we find Mary a happy comrade because she is essentially sporting and true blue, and we find her shedding brightness because she is herself alight with loyalty. Good wishes are always trite and easily given. But when the hearts of the givers are happy, such wishes are not words or syllables. And be- cause Mary has given us so much of laughter, we would give her not wishes, but love to echo its happy laughter through all her days after she leaves these cherished halls.

Vivacious, laughing Hetty! Ex- quisitely feminine — utterly lovable. What a world of competence lies hid - den behind that charm — behind those huge Irish blue eyes! There is so much of gayness and laughter, so much of happiness about her, that her presence is like some silvery thing resplendent in its own beauty. Betty has built a joyous, grateful niche in the heart of Twenty-nine, one we are not apt to forget. We call her our business woman with par- donable pride. How very much of the outstanding success of our grav- est undertakings as a class — Tatler and this Annales — has been due to Betty’s abilities, many of us will never entirely know. But those of us who know her well, might tell long tales of her splendid, untiring work. It is, however, her many friends, who will tell you of the truer, greater Betty they love. Staunch- ness, loyalty and all the attendant qualities are not necessary to men- tion. We love Betty for them, hut, it is no less true, that we have come to know them, only through those other qualities which so irresistibly draw us to her — her zest for life; her love of laughter which sends smiles from her lips to yours when- ever, whenever you meet; her intelh gence, fine, keen, alert.

We would present Marion in her active moments, engaging in argu ments infinite and profound, hasten ing about in search of one class o i another, circling the dance floor in undulating rhythm with Kay. Marion synthesizes tact and con- sideration. She can, with level judgment, make momentous deci- sions with no apparent pause. Ma- rion conceals under her dainty ex- terior, depth of intellect and mental precision. Her concentrative pow- ers are of the highest order, as is af- firmed by those who know her. Marion is reserved, but with the reserve and reticence of one who accords her companions an oppor- tunity to give free expression to their opinions. And, finally, she is generous with praise hut sparing of censure. Too, she is character- ized by depth of character rather than transparency of motive. There are in her personality many con- trasts, which afford a fascinating study. But it is her independence of thought and her avowal of the right, whether it be popular or not, which evokes our utmost admira- tion.

Innumerable critical audiences have been enraptured by Marie Ger- trude O’Mara, Twenty-nine’s night- ingale, whose slim throat is a chrys- alis of song and whose touch on ivory keys evokes miracles of mel- ody and rhythm. Most of us will always visualize Marie Gertrude on the concert stage or at the piano in the living room, admiringly re- garded by those privileged to hear the liquid notes of her music ripple into harmonies. There are many who will carry with them the mem- ory of her ever pleasing appearance, for this petite daughter of the Southland is always daintily gowned whether she is returning from a late class in Harmony or strolling to tea with one of her friends. It is to her many friends that M. G. has particularly endeared herself. Many have been delighted by the engaging pleasantness of her manner and the vivacious hint of laughter in her eyes and voice, but only a few intimates can estimate the depths of her nature. Her signifi- cantly earnest devotion to her chosen field of music is obvious to all, but her intimates have seen her capacity for friendship magnificently proved by the exacting test of service. They know that through Marie Gertrude’s gay demeanor shines the courage born of noble ideals. imore One Hundred Si.vly-nine 1929 ANNALES Athletic Association (1, 2); Little Flower (1, 2, 3, 4); Reapers (1,2, 3, 4); Hockey (1, 2 , 3); Biology Club (3); Council of Debate (3, 4) You will immediately like Dolly. Longer acquaintance will only turn that liking into love, even as the acquaintance itself is transformed into friendship. Knowing Dolly is a splendid privilege — because like a privilege, it is something truly worthwhile, something freely given, something ever cherished. There is no pretense, no grandiloquent airs, no assumptions of any sort about Dolly. She is vitally alive, abso- lutely sincere and so delightfully her- self. And that “herself” includes those numberless happy qualities that you find marked in the column of Life captioned Friends. 1 here is sparkling humor behind those soft, wide eyes. There is un- derstanding and character. But, bal- lasting it all, we doubt not, you would discover “that utter sincerity that is the keynote as well as the essence of all greatness.” Tali, slender and graceful. Clever, loyal, sincere. Friend, class- mate and pal. How perfectly they mirror the typical Twenty-niner ! How aptly they voice our remem- brance of Dolly! And yet so im- perfectly. There is too much spirit, altogether too much individuality to Dolly to stamp her as typical of any group. And her friends would be the first to affirm that the only replica of Dolly is Dolly herself. We are preciously proud of Dolly and prouder still to send her on to the years stretching beyond these campus days.

Since Freshman year, Virginia has won the admiration of the entire class, for no matter how late a class or school activity was held, whether it be for a basketball game, a class play, or a debate, we could always depend on her presence. Doubtless, Virginia is a lover of action. We see her boundlessly en- thusiastic over athletics. Often have we seen her eyes happy at the pros- pect of a good game of basketball or a tennis match. Yet her interests are well balanced. Athletics have never usurped the place or time de- voted to studies in her science courses. Likewise she is possessed of great executive ability and her capable management of the Day Stu- dents Booth on Mission Day bears enough evidence of this. Again, argument and Virginia are synony- mous. Imagine a class in full session, everything moving smoothly. A question is asked. “Any discussion?” It is then that Virginia waxes elo- quent. Though never pushing her- self forward, Virginia is ever ready to give a frank opinion. In every phase of school life as a student, lover of sports, classmate, true friend. Virginia’s actions have the indelible stamp of sincerity and purpose.

Truly, her rather shy ex- terior cloaks a lover of fun and mirth, a friendly and lovable dis- position, and the author of some rare sallies. Frances has a particular aptitude towards Biological Science and her love for laboratory and experimen- tal work mark her as the possessor of an analytic mind and a keen intel- lect. Frances may leave the portals oi New Rochelle as quietly and unob- trusively as she has spent her four years here, yet she will carry away with her a knack of perseverance and a kindliness towards fellowmen that will forever bring happiness and success throughout her life.

If you’re blue and want someone to laugh and talk enough to cheer you, go to Nan. She is always smil- ing, always cheerful, always happy. Moods are not in her make-up, and friendliness has been typical of her four years. Nan is the essence of good fellowship and the spirit of loyalty and happiness. Her gay eyes are ever twinkling and one can easily see that she is always ready for a foolish prank or about to play a mischievous trick on some unsus- pecting, innocent creature. Nan’s soft blonde hair accentuates her eyes, and one is never too hurried to stop and speak to her just to see their merry blueness and flashing spirit. Nan seems easy going and unhur- ried, but few suspect the power and thoughtfulness behind the outward pose of ease. Nan is a friend in the full sense of the word, and she would battle her utmost for the sake of her friends.

She is the very quintessence of dain- tiness — a daintiness which is re- flected constantly in her chic, mod- ish appearance.

It is apparent in her casual conver- sation, in her quiet courtesy, in the very poise of her proud little head. Dot has a certain barrier of re- serve behind which very few have been able to penetrate. It is not, however, the cold, aloof reserve which antagonizes one, but rather a delicate reticence which is at once charming and provocative. In these days of easy familiarity and start- ling candor, one is grateful for peo- ple like Dot. Friendship is not a light matter with her; it is a serious, vital con- sideration. Once you are a friend of Dot’s, you may count impli citly upon the permanence of that rela- tionship. Loyalty is no high-sound- ing expression; it is a living reality.

Marian is a contradiction. We close our eyes and lulled half to sleep by the sound of her low, vi- brant voice singing some forgotten little tune, imagine dreamily a slim young figure clad in a lacy kerchief and a many-ruffled frock from which peek demurely a pair of tiny slip- pered feet. We open our eyes wide at the sound of syncopated, rag-time rhythm and find ourselves looking at the bobbed hair, the sparkling eyes, the laughter-curved lips of Marian who stands before us in a sweater suit and a brightly-hued beret. The fault, one might suggest, lies in our imagination — not in any con- tradictoriness in Marian’s nature. But we do not think so. There is about Marian, for all her debonair manner and her gay nonchalance, an indefinable something which is rem- iniscent of things not wholly mod- ern — a charm not belonging to the boyish pertness of the modern girls. It is this very contrast of tem- perament which makes Marian so utterly satisfying a person; which gives her, along with her joyous gaiety, a sweet seriousness, along with her sophistication, the gift of understanding and appreciating “the stuff that dreams are made of.” Marian Elinor Reardon B.A. onn One Hundred Seventy-six 1929 ANNALES Reapers (1, 4); Props and Paint (1, 2, 3, 4); Scribblers (3, 4); Coun- cil of Debate (4); Contest Commit- tee (4); Music Student Organiza- tion (3, 4); Opera Club (4); Bi- ology Club (3); Hartford Chapter (4); Glee Club 1); Little Flower Society (1, 4 ).

Moreover, her respon- siveness invites one’s most precious confidences. Al loves human so- ciety, and her sympathetic apprecia- tion is based on a discerning study of human nature. Instinctively, one trusts her boyish sense of squareness and fair play, and warms to her womanly gifts of kindly understand- ing.

To very few of her associates does Helen reveal her inner feelings. One cannot help but feel, that wer e her impenetrable reserve vulnerable, a splendidly practical philosophy of life might be revealed. Even a cas- ual acquaintance can sense the strength that is Helen’s — strength of intellect and strength of charac- ter combining in a powerful person- ality. There is nothing of the mimic about Helen. She does not imitate; rather does she create. An extraordinary record in scho- lastic, debating, and literary activ- ities has earned her universal respect and admiration. The gift of ex- pression which enables her to explain in words or writing the ideas which throng her brilliant mind often es- tablishes her in the center of a interested group from which there issues an occasional ripple of laugh- ter, for Helen’s dry humor is in keeping with her characteristic orig- inality. Her career at college has been marked by a willingness to utilize her talents and industry in the inter- ests of her Alma Mater and her fellow students. This spirit of co- operation motivating the activities of a person as gifted as Helen pre- sages achievement in whatever field she challenges. Helen will continue elsewhere the success she has at tained here as a leader of the intelli- gentsia of Twenty-nine. Bayonne, N.

Always hurrying, always breathless, always happy — that is Kay. A charming hostess, a delightful personality, a friend as sincere as she is loyal. Kay isn’t always sure things are going exactly right, but she is smiling any- way. And that explains one reason we love her. Twenty-nine has come to expect Kav to manage a class party just right, because she has made each one she has directed so decidedly perfect. We shall never forget her agreeable good-nature, her vivacious conversation, or her excited laugh- ter. They are an integral part of the Kay we have learnt to love so easily and her friends to cherish so deeply. Kay is an excellent debater, earnest, enthusiastc and alert. What spirit and vim! She is a delight. But it is among her many friends we seek the real Kay — the Kay of happiness and sincerity, of womanliness and loyalty. Hers is a personality that is rooted in the fineness of a splendid character and that will represent the best New Rochelle has sent forth from her castled walls. Kay will sail straight and high wherever the years may lead her. Knowing this, we need only add the wish that the sailing be ever happy and the course very long. Good luck, Kay!

Margaret has a charming manner accompanied by a quiet reserve. Yet this dignity of demeanor belies the jubilant, fun-loving disposition of the girl. For Margaret really possesses joie de vivre and is buoyant and joyous. Though she takes her college responsibilities seriously, she is a gay companion and a happy friend at all times. We have never seen her downcast. Generosity is the very essence of Margaret’s nature. There is noth- ing that causes her more delight and pleasure than giving. She is ever liberal of her time, her help and her attention. Her close friends who know her well are es- pecial recipients of this graciousness and can best appreciate it. And her trim, well dressed person is admired by many on campus and off. In declaring her opinions Mai- garet is honest and outspoken. She can always be depended upon for a true defense of her convictions. It is natural then that she should be loyal and sincere in friendship and unchanging in affection. The same irresistible qualities that have been so remarked and so admired at New Rochelle will endear Margaret to an ever widening circle of friends and acquaintances when she has left college. We wish that the after years will be full of happiness and success.

After four years of college, one knows what pleasant hours a merry disposition, a laughing, good- humored wit can provide. One, furthermore, has learnt where to expect such good company. And one of the merriest of the gay, one of the most likable of the witty is Betty. She is ever laughing over something, an infectious kind of jol- lity that brings smiles from every- one without fail. Such a tempera- ment is always popular and nowhere more so than on campus. Betty is earnest. She is sincere. There is firmness and vitality in abundance beneath her merriment. In fact, one discovers a surprising number of splendid things beneath Betty’s happy chatter. She has a keen, logical mind that makes her work in Debating Council a delight- ful recreation for all her listeners. One can never be despondent while Betty is around. She will soon find a hundred ways of talking one right out of the blues. Before one realizes it, there is laughter again, laughter with a hearty gaiety. Indeed, such a nature is unusual. But then, Betty is unusual from her quick, flashing eyes to her restless, dancing feet. You cannot help but know Betty, for she is one of the merriest regulars of Twenty-nine. Elizabeth H. Saver, B.A Gouverneur, N. Y. Dean High School One Hundred, Eighty-two Helen has often surprised us by the roguish gleam which seems to come all unbidden, when other faces are either attentive or distrait. In fact, it is this which has given us a partial insight into her reserve. On campus, in the classroom, she is prepared for the most remote con- tingency, ever on the alert, for rarely is her work not done. And so, one would be inclined to think of her as being wholly a student, were it not for the hint of vivacity which her twinkling proclaims. When one knows Helen, that air of preoccupied gravity is quite dis- pelled by her effervescent good spirits, by her genuinely carefree attitude. And yet, there is in Helen, a strong sense of balance, and we feel definitely that she at least will not mistake the shadow for the sub- stance. Her store of knowledge is that, not gleaned by a book-bound scholar, but rather that gained by one who perceives the good in all things created, and seeks it con- sistently. Her diligence and industry are two important factors which allow’ Helen to achieve unusual results wdth but a slight apparent effort. Her four years here have indeed been well spent. May her subse- quent years be as profitable. Waterbury, Conn. Crosby High School One Hundred.

During her college career, Sera- phine has proved that work and play can rule the way together. She has tossed the basketball as whole- heartedly as she has mastered lan- guages. Her proficiency in both fields is noteworthy. A splendid, earnest student if we have ever met one at New Rochelle and a delight- ful playfellow as well. How often we have admired her spontaneous good nature, her pleas- ant smile. There is so much pep, so much good will! Seraphine is very quiet and reticent, but, with the depth of her emotions mirrored in her dark eyes, like trees on the deep waters of a woodland lake. We know her thoughts are beauti- ful because she has revealed herself to be splendidly courageous and brave. We have admired her no end of times in class and out. She is a lin- guist of no mean ability. She is a friend of sterling character. We doubt not that she will be an alumna whom New Rochelle shall be proud to acknowledge as her own, as we are to call her Twenty-nine’s. Seraphine Bernadette Sberna, B.A Larchmont, N. Y.

A sensitive- ness to beauty, even in its most far- away, intangible colors that yet per- mits one to be content and joyful in mundane surroundings is a happy talent. Perhaps it is this idealistic beauty singing in her heart that speaks in Eleanor’s friendliness. Eleanor’s vibrant vitality shim- mers in the swiftness of her vivid repartee. We have often been de- lighted with the merry lightness of her sparkling Irish wit. Her energy and versatility are indicated by the scope of her activities. Perhaps it is because she herself packs so much power and color into living that she knows how to hide a wealth of poignant beauty in a few simple lines. But it is in Eleanor’s poetry that we find her true reflection. Here we see the wistful idealism of the dreamer, the brilliant simplicity of the truthful, the word-gracefulness of the litterateur, and the hearten- ing warmth and singing radiance of the true friend.

Some people have the happy fac- ulty of combining sweetness with a character of determination and per- severance. Peg is one of these sin- gularly fortunate people. For four years she has been one of the busiest students, hut even at her most occu- pied moments there has appeared her gracious kindliness and consid- eration for others. Even when things were not all going the right way her optimistic nature and cheery attitude made troubles seem lighter. No wonder at all then that such a girl should have made numerous friends at college! No wonder that she should hold so high a place in the hearts of her classmates! Printed words are poor means of describing the straightforward and generous and loyal good-fellow- ship that Peg gives. So also an im- possibility arises in the attempt to convey our feelings of appreciation toward her who gives them. We can only hope that the years will be good to her and that she will be recom- pensed in full measure. Peg has proven herself a good and dependable student and has also found room for success in extra ac- tivities while at New Rochelle. We feel sure that she will continue these distinctions in the future.

Untroubled by the vagaries of the whimsical, Be-Al’s presence is sensed rather than heard. Only in- frequently is her silence dispelled by a low voiced comment or a fleet- ing chuckle. To know Be-Al well is to be one of a few, but her cogent grasp of the most difficult problem is discernible from afar. The tenacity of purpose which characterizes her every endeavor, is one of the main factors resultant in her accomplish- ments, marked as they are. Be-Al’s attractive personality is no less appealing than her person. H er blond, sun-touched hair forms an aura for her countenance. The deep blue of her laughing eyes is limpidly clear and guileless. Gen- erous by nature, Be-Al is genuine and sincere in her friendship, and those who know her well recognize its worth. Her intellectual ability is well grounded in logic, and is marred by none of the superficiality only too often connoted. Her fa- vorite avocation is reading and in this she evidences remarkable dis- crimination and keen critical powers. We note, too, in Be-Al a strong sense of personal responsibility. This serves only to enhance the charm of her personality and to add to her distinction. The musical ca- dence of her voice lingers in our memory, and as her “Hello” was always cheery, so will her “goodbye ’ be, and the lilt will soothe in pare at least, the inevitable and bitter- sweet farewell.

Truly, the world would be a bleak place were it not for the soft gleaming candles of gentleness and consideration. Truly, life would be most unhappy, were not these two gracious attributes typified in people like Betty. In her small person there is found a great capacity for unselfish friend- ship and soft-spoken generosity. The cloak of her well-bred reserve does not hide, rather does it enhance the charm of her quiet personality. All of us, whether or not we know her well, are acquainted with Betty’s sincere depths and fineness of pur- pose. Equally well do we know her natural friendliness and bright flashes of wit. Congenial and light- hearted, Betty as a friend, is a possession to be treasured. For in her brown eyes there is now a tw r in- kle that bespeaks merriment, now a gleam that indicates intelligent pen- siveness. Betty has been ours and we have been deeply fond of her. Now we see her leave us, still we are proud, knowing that “in t he wide, wide world” she will shed the same sweet influence she gave us here. E lizabet h Eileen Shanahan, B.A Brooklyn, N. Y.

Eleanor of the laughing eyes and friendly smile is as true as the keen edge of a finely wrought blade. She is as upright as the towering cliff which looks down on dwarf-like creatures at its base. No pen can paint in the words of men the pic- ture of sweet sincerity which she portrays. Each passing day im- prints more firmly the realization of her stalwart and clear-cut char- acter. One may be sometimes out of sorts but never can Sheedy be accused of being otherwise than happy and cheerful. As the glorious sun shines on calm water and causes its crystal clearness to sparkle as a living thing, so too does Eleanor’s radiant personality cast a warm and life-giving glow on her companions. Her mischievous pranks are the result of her fun-loving nature She is forever giving someone a merry teasing or wholeheartedly taking one in return. You can tease Elea- nor, but most unexpectedly she usually causes you to be the victim in the end. Friendship to her is precious and she guards it as a treasure of immeasurable worth. Those to whom she has intrusted this jewel realize all that it signi- fies and are proud to be her close companions.

First impressions are lasting. That theory is debatable but we know one instance when it has proved absolutely true. We refer to Anne and to that first day when we met her up on Fourth. From the first glimpse we had of her, we sensed the friendliness which is the very essence of her personality. From the first few moments of our conversation we gained an impres- sion that here was strength of char- acter, and steadfastness, and that most precious of attributes, a sense of humor. And that impression has remained — to he emphasized again and again. Anne is a rather indispensable part of Twenty-nine. Without real- izing it, we find ourselves depending on her to perform those offices which demand efficiency and tact. But it is not merely upon such as this that our memory of Anne will rest. We may forget the blue and white tassel on her cap, but we shall still be re- membering her sympathy and com- mon sense when we were in the “blues,” her keen appreciation of our sudden enthusiasms, or her unfail- ing ability to correspond to our mood of the moment. So altogether satis- fying a person is hard to find, and it is with justifiable pride that we say that we are very, very happy to be friends of Anne’s. Anne Frances Smith, B.A Philadelphia, Pa.

Edythe answers no special type, unless it be the regal beauty of char- acter and person which are so abso- lutely hers. But this combination is all too rare to be called a type. Edythe is too individual, too much herself, too much a leader to follow any settled trend. We have come to know her slowly. But, in attain- ing that knowledge, we have gradu- ally associated two words — gracious womanhood. And they have been as sincerely added as they are hon- estly descriptive. Edythe is tall and slender, dark and dainty, gentle mannered, always serenely complacent, ever loyal and friendly. The short days between her countless delightful week ends coupled with her own natural reti- cence have deprived many of us of an opportunity of knowing her as we would have wished. Those, how- ever, who have been fortunate enough to be her friends have found a happy nature, vibrant with char- acter and lovely with those gifts that make the charming personality and the ideal woman.

Winning smile, dimpled cheeks, sweet, soft tones for her speech, — thus a concise, accurate description of our Julie. Julie has many near and dear friends at New Rochelle, although she may appear to be reserved and aloof. Her good nature and eager willingness to help anyone, any time, gives us a peep into the heart of our classmate. Studies have never annoyed Julie. With extreme ease and a happy-go- lucky air, Julie gains for herself a high scholastic standing. Socially, both on and off campus, Julie is most popular. Rarely does one find her looking for something to do. Dates and teaing in the ville keep her well on the go. Her keen sense of humor and readiness to share in the apprecia- tion of a good joke, make Julie a most amiable and jolly comrade. She is vitally alive, essentially a merry miss with plenty of fun and laughter in her nature. Twenty-nine is proud to claim such a sweet, sincere and jovial classmate and we hope that the fu- ture may hold happiness and success for her.

' Miriam is distinctive — the fashion plate of Twenty-nine. At a glance one can readily see that she is an aristocrat — her clothes, harmoni- ously blended to her blonde loveli- ness and striking in their uniformity of color, have always borne the in- delible stamp of the artistic. The elegance of her dress and the grace and perfect poise of her carriage mark her, without a doubt, as indi- vidualistic. Miriam is a society belle. She loves the life of the social world and is forever planning and accept- ing invitations to dinners and dances. These always bring Miriam back to us with eyes aglow and her conversation is delightfully colored with the eventful and enjoyable hap- penings. The end of one perfect week-end for Miriam means the anticipation and excitement of per- haps a more pleasant one the next time. But take heed lest you think Miriam lends herself entirely to pleasure — for this is not so. Miriam possesses the knack of concentrating and studying at the proper time. Truly her scholastic success hears enough evidence of this. Miriam’s infectious smile, her ideals of friendship, embodying an innate kindness for everyone, have merited for her an enviable spot in the garden of memories at New Ro- chelle.

Mention Pat and you conjure up a vision of a fairy hit of wispy blonde loveliness. You have read of dainty elfin princesses, of sincerity and loyalty, of happy smiles. Add these to your vision and you have Pat more nearly accurate. Dainti- ness of person and sincerity of char- acter are inseparably welded in Pat. She is beautiful as is a fleecy cloud in a twilight sky. A mirage of beauty. Laughing, teasing Pat! Quick to joy, impulsive, lovable! To end- less lengths might we list the adjec- tives compatible with the Pat we know and love. To say Pat is popular is like re- marking that a Maybell is fragrant. Pat will inevitably be the nonchalant centre of happiness whether it be football games or dances. At col- lege she lives in a happy hubbub through the days that bridge her merry week-ends. But, if her days are remarkable for their gaiety, they are equally so for their industry. Pat has never been a laggard in col- lege activities, be they social or scho- lastic. So, if you are in search of femi- nine loveliness compounded with courage and character, we recom- mend Pat as the quintessence of any and all the elements you seek. We have admired her vividness, her blue eyes, her pleasant laughter. We have delighted in her faultless taste in dress and in her fascinating indi- viduality. We have found her a cheery, fun-loving companion and a friend always loyal and sincere. We see Pat leaving our Alma Mater, happily confident that here is a lovely thing that will not tarnish with the years, but, rather, g row brighter in the glory of her perfect womanhood.

Unobtrusive and unassuming, Betty could be con- spicuous only by the very impecca- bility of her dress which is always perfectly suitable for the occasion, whether she is listening attentively in class or gliding gracefully among the dancing figures in the living room. Though intensely reserved, Betty is agreeable always. Her equanim- ity is imperturbable. Many times her willingness to oblige a friend has elicited our sincere gratitude. Betty has a happy faculty in her ability to lend an attentive ear to the onrushing thoughts of others. She is always unselfishly interested and ever able to introduce a note of common sense and sanity into the crashing symphony of our laments and criticism. Sincerely will Betty face life, suc- cessfully will she meet it, and de- murely will she enjoy it. Elizabeth Constance Tormey, B.A Holyoke, Mass.

Her dark, curly, cropped hair seems to give her a masculine appearance, yet, just a “Hello” with her pleasant smile and shining black eyes, draws aside her aloof attitude and we find a most pleasant companion. Genevieve did not choose New Rochelle as her Alma Mater until Sophomore year, hut this did not hin- der her from immediately taking up the manners and customs of her new college. Her work on the basket- ball court is well remembered and her assistance was most appreciated by the team. Genevieve is a very good student, most interested in her work, and often, in philosophy, she has aroused the admiration of her classmates by her deep thinking and intelligence. Our friend is of a remarkable, quiet and reserved disposition.

Kay is like a bit of beauty care- fully moulded by her dreams to splendid ideals. You feel a delicacy of touch, a gentleness of manner. You know Kay is a dreamer and a happy one, even before you know ' her name. Her dreams are the pen- etrating quality in her personality. You cannot escape the spindle-like beauty of their weaving. You have no wish to. Such dreams are like sea breezes that at sundown w r aft their refreshing sweetness through heat-parched streets. Without them, the world would be perpetually thirsting for a loveliness it required and a gift it cherished. Turning to her college activities we find Kay, gentle voiced ' and happy, in Props and Paint. We dis- cover her an officer in Instrumental Club. She is, no less, an excellent student.

Carefree Grace, a comrade with whom to go adventuring, studious Grace, a master of the language of Roman grandeur, friendly Grace, i lover of her friends — she is all these and, in so being, is herself.

Merry-eyed and curly-headed, Ginger holds a keen intellect and a sturdy character beneath a charm- ing appearance. Her banner one of shining idealism, she faces the world with gentle sureness and disarming kindliness, and takes our hearts her willing captives. Ail too few of us possess the rare gift of true charity. Ginger has it in abundant measure. Her generous praise of only the good that is in the worst of us, and her disregard of the bad in the best of us, are as com- forting as they are exemplary. Per- haps they explain why Katharine’s friendship invites trust of the deep- est nature. In athletics, as well as in the more serious veins of collegiate activity, Ginger has gained a mark of excel- lence. Her skill in intercepting the basketball as it passes from one op- ponent to another is equalled by her ability to grasp the bewildering intri- cacies of mathematics. Though the gold glints in her hair may he due to the reflection of light on a lustrous surface, the warm brightness in her eyes is due rather to an indwelling sunniness, — the sweet generousness of disposition that is so vital a part of Ginger.

If it were possible, we should have reproduced, on this page, a portrait painting of Peggy. A pho- tograph, however beautiful, could never do justice to the shimmering goldness of Peggy’s hair or the soft loveliness of her ivory-tinted skin. 1 he photograph might reveal a charming countenance, but only an artist could portray the patrician air which manifests itself in her every expression. A patrician can afford to do things which others would not dare to do. Consequently, Peg can lay aside her dignity without detracting in the slightest degree from her charm. She can he the gayest of the gay; she can enter into the most nosens- ical fun-making; she can he as en- thusiastic or as frenzied a rooter at basketball games as the veriest freshman and yet, there is a sweet graciousness about her of which one is always aware — the essence of a true gentlewoman. Peg’s clothes are the envy of every truly feminine heart. She has ex quisite taste and a daintiness whicli extends to the most trivial article in her possession. Her loyalty, her generosity, and a spirit of genial camaraderie have en- deared her to many. We know, tha as long as we remember Twenty nine so shall we remember Peggy.

A tiny bit of femininity, but a most vivacious and active sports- woman, is Marion. Her admirable work on the class team will never be forgotten. Petite, yet as quick as a flash Marion has often perturbed her opponent on the court. Her skill and speed are admirable. Yet, aside from her athletic abil- ity, we often come across a timid, shy Marion. She is a little girl whose large, dark eyes glow under dark, curly hair. She possesses a small, yet sweet voice which is al- ways ready to say “Yes! I’ll help you,” whenever her assistance it needed. Marion, when really known, dis plays a personality most winning and pleasant. She is ever ready for a good joke or prank, and oftentimes is instigator of tricks that no one would ever attribute to her. But always her laughing eyes give her away. All in all, Marion is a merry little sport, a real pal and a true friend. The memory of her and her sweet worth will stay with us always. M A RION ZEM I E R M A X X , B.A. Kingston, N. Y.

Some so timid, some so confident, but all so expectant, Twenty-nine had arrived at C. N. R. There were no trumpets, no heralds. But, everywhere laughing groups of “big sisters” hurried to show us where Maura Hall “ship” or Fifteen’s top floor was. We found our roommate already in possession, or, in wonderment, examined her name on the doorcard. There was fear, joy, expectancy in the air. We were the “Frosh” of New r Rochelle. The Junior Welcoming Party was delightfully informal, unforgettably friendly. We registered our first collegiate thrill to the chords of “It’s the Dearest College,” sung with the carefree spirit of ’27. It was a wel- come that time alone has rung with a deeper knell. Then, the Sophomore Party, a rally of good fellowship that carried through every Odd and Even sally since that night. We soon washed away our homesickness w 7 ith tears that made blotches on our letters and puddles on our pillows. The first day of real work and play left us too wearied to be lonely and that lapse of one night cured that Freshman ailment permanently. October twenty-second witnessed another barrier, triumphantly sur- mounted. We elected Rosemary Hearns President of ’29, and Eleanor Elliott our Vice-President. It is in the category of red letter days in our history. We assumed our status as a class. On the subsequent evening, in flickering candle-light in Maura living room, Monsignor Chidwick invested us with the cap and gown of New Rochelle. The Odds were forever “sisters” of our Alma Mater. How gloriously we celebrated the event until Mother Loyola’s bell sent us scampering over a dark campus to our welcome cots ! The Senior Tea, served in the famed “Castle halls,” was attended in trembling awe and remembered with happy laughter. No one’s name was her own after the first hundred introductions! No one deluged the floor with her teacup. No one forgot Gerry Burke’s songs. The first and the last of New Rochelle — ’26 and ’29 — were friends. Our first retreat is but dimly recalled. The racing pace of Freshman year moved too quickly. Before Thanksgiving urged us to eat turkey and cranberries, the far famed wedding, solemn, beautiful and treasured Two Hundred Seven ai tfc £ issue 1929 ANNALES memory, sent us into a holiday mood. Rita Simons and Rosemary Hearns, in lace and satin, were w 7 edded to the stirring u Oh, Promise Me,” sung by Dot Laden. Twenty-seven and Twenty-nine w r ere bound in a union of love and allegiance that, truly, nothing but death can sever. We are forever New Rochelle ! Down the toboggan of two short weeks from I hanksgiving to our first Christmas party. The “Adeste Fideles,” the goblin dinner, the Senior party, the Christmas carols — only memories now 7 of things that were so joyously real. Christmas — home in a whirl — back in a whirl — exams in a whirl. Prom in an ecstasy. Marks bulletined — more in a whirl than ever, with increasing evidences of fatal dizziness. But, the slackened pace through Lent brought us back to normalcy. Easter set us spinning again in a happy spirit to our class day celebration at the New York A. C. Then, Mission Day — Field Day and the glory of being conquerors. Onward w r e scurried to exams. June. Commencement. Our tassels were turned. One year at New Rochelle completed — one year of friendship, happiness, and knowledge. Three more years of promise beckoning! Chapter II — SOPHOMORES S OPHOMORE! Back we crept unwilling to school, but bolder, jauntier, no longer meek-mannered Freshmen. We were the gay, young Sophomores of song and history. The song is sung of every Sophomore class, but the history is peculiarly our own. We lost our Class Day, we lost those coveted six o’clock non-registration permissions (some- thing future Sophomores won’t have to worry about!) We tacked and pasted great purple banners on our walls and purple cushions on our chairs. I he November Big Game Hunt, a helter-skelter rush of four classes over, through and around campus, was a Sophomore victory. Cele Hessinger and Gen Carberry, proving their super-sleuth and hare qualities, brought back the pot of gold. Socially, Sophomore year opened with the party tendered the new Freshman Class which had arrived to fill our vacated places. It was a happy night that rang with laughter. Perhaps, “Wild Nell, Pet of the Plains, might account for much of the jollity! September thirtieth started the ball of good fellowship between ’30 and ’29 rolling with such a twirl that it has never stopped since. Officially, we had begun our Economics the day previous. Socially and officially, the semester crowded on. But, there are hours still memor- Two Hundred Eight JUOlUC ISSUE 1929 ANNALE5 able as nightmares — hours when we struggled with the tan, co-tan, the sine of this and the sine of that until we didn’t know or care whose sign or sine it was. The case of Math versus the Sophomores at New Rochelle was extremely serious ! Founders Day brought our beloved Reverend Mother Irene in our circle for a short time. It was a rare pleasure, for which each succeeding year truly increases the anticipation. Retreat with Father James Francis still echoes across campus and through our history. Individually and collectively, we have felt the impress of those soul-searching days. To their full import, two score years hence can only testify. President Coolidge declared Thanksgiving a legal holiday. In docile, if slightly vociferous, obedience to his mandate, we rushed home to a glorious weekend that left us happily weary until the Senior Christmas Party. That was a night no history of ’29 could omit. Twenty-seven struck the first knell of its parting from C. N. R. and from us. Well had they taught us our songs, but better yet, our love for New Rochelle. Looking back, we cannot but hope that our record as “Big Sisters” shines as splendidly. There is no greater tribute. We survived the feverish Christmas rush with tired bodies, the Exams with tired minds. But Prom night at the Biltmore found us alive and jubilant over George Olsen and “WHO”? (Every girl for herself on that answer ! ) Remember “Twelfth Night” at the Booth Theater in February, the rushed supper afterward and the still faster rush back to campus before nine-thirty? Remember the Mission Masquerade with the queer, funny and impromptu costumes? Then, came Lent — days always lean and scant of historical note and of tea in the ville. But, Easter, so pretty in the new flowers of Dame Nature and in the equally new ensembles of the Ladies, was weighed down with gaiety. It left one regret — the vacation was gone almost before we were awake to its arrival. But, such is all the year — one great panorama of swiftly changing scenes, hopes and faces. We were in the Springtime again. Happiness bubbled on every side. We did not have our basketball game with ’30 for obvious reasons — toler- ably obvious to a number of us, at least, and resultantly obvious to the entire college. However, next year was already well on its way and next year would prove the test. We drew a breath and before we could exhale it, exams arrived and our breath became a sigh. A, B, C, D, E, flunk! They all found room on the bulletin board and sent us into smiles, relief or tears. Two Hundred Nine Commencement. Farewell to ’27. Turning of the Tassels. We were the jolly Juniors. Twenty-seven, because their tassels could turn no further, gamely smiling, walked across campus out into “the wide, wide world.” But, in leaving, made us the custodians of that which we have endeavored to as nobly uphold — the honor of the Odds of New Rochelle. Chapter III — Juniors T HE Junior year of Twenty-nine! What a gleaning of memories! Graduated from the “verdant Freshmen” and “gay, young Sopho- mores” to the jolly Juniors,” from being Little Sisters and UNDERclassmen to BIG Sisters and L PPERclassmen, from attending Proms to managing THE Prom, from Math to Philosophy. Twenty-nine was nearing the climax of its history. The prelude to the precipitous rush that characterized the entire year, began with the oft-composed and recomposed letter to a certain expectant “little sister. 1 ' The happy adventure itself commenced in Maura living room when Eleanor Elliott, our class president, welcomed all of Thirty-one — our Thirty-one — to New Rochelle. We were “big sisters.” Of course, we inaugurated HER — our Freshman — to tea at the Cake Box or the Neighborhood and maybe, Proctor’s or Loew’s. We aren ' t allowed to be sentimental, so we cannot admit the delightful thrill of happiness then or later at Investiture. Into the quiet night, while candle grease dripped down our fingers, leapt that song we hope to have taught ’31 — “It’s the dearest College.” Did we celebrate? Ask Mary Barrett, who was chairman of all that “eat, drink and be merry,” whether we followed the old Arab’s advice! On we strode. Proudly, we watched on Founder ' s Day Thirty-one presented to Reverend Mother Irene. They were our Little Sisters. We could not have felt happier or prouder. The gay solemnity of the wedding increased the glamour though not the kinship. That was already inter- minably established. But that is one side of the kaleidoscope. “Tatler,” under Evelyn Eagan’s splendidly gifted direction, assumed new proportions and praises. “Scribblers,” begun by members of Twenty-nine, filled a long felt social gap. Debating Council with its Lecture Groups and inter-collegiate debates spread the name of New Rochelle abroad. “Op of My Thumb” and “Night at an Inn ' ’ w T ere Props and Paint presentations in brilliant color. In athletics there were new victories, new records, another Meet pennant and there were our twin stars again, Marg and Lib. Because, 29 was vitally, individually and collectively concerned with these adven- Tzl’o Hundred Ten tures of Campus, their presence in the History of the Class is pertinent and necessary. And again, we are proud and happy. Another spin. The harlequin wears another, gayer cloak, full robed in Junior Glory. By popular consent, it was Thanksgiving of turkey and dances — by Margaret Kelly’s work, it was a brand new Junior ring of endless Ah’s and Oh ' s. By unpopular compulsion, it was exams in Logic, Science or Education — by Eleanor O’Brien’s ceaseless activity, it was a Junior Week of “Rosalie” and Sherry ' s. Then, out of the grim, “It cannot be,” came the joyous “It is!” and Prom was on. Whom shall we thank for the glamorous memory — Gert McCormick, Ben Bernie, the Biltmore or “Him”? We were the jolly Juniors! We recall other times not to be forgotten. There was Christmas and the Christmas Party that made Kaki Halleran a jovial Santa Claus. The gifts to the Seniors. The age-old carols that filled the night with sacred- ness and our hearts with something akin to fear. The warm festive spirit ebbed. Twenty-eight had felt the first “Farewell ' ’ of its Alma Mater. We, thankfully, had only listened in. I here vcere Lent and Easter, which was much as every other Lent: and Easter, long penance for much-too-short a vacation, it seemed. There was Mission Day in May between exams, a break filled with a busy, pros- perous Tea Room for Indian, Chinese and all heathen babies. Of course, there was our Class Day celebrated most colorfully at the Pickwick Arms. There was an unaccountable number of tiny personal things that cram the pages of our own history of Junior Year and make it much more real. In too short a time, it was June again. We had said goodbye to Twenty-eight. They were gone. There were other Juniors now — and we were the Seniors of New Rochelle. Chapter IV — Seniors IT ELLO ! Hello!” Hello to everybody. Our suitcases, taxi- driver, dignity all forgotten, we kissed and hugged in true collegiate abandon that circle of friendly faces that three years at New Rochelle had formed. From our roommate, fairly radiant with her summer tan and romances, to the grey walls of C. N. R. sparkling in the autumn sunlight — we caught the welcome of our last return to Shakespeare, Great War or Philosophy. We were the Seniors, whose dignity is their badge of leadership! But, happily for ’29 there were yet gay, madcap hours before that hood of blue and white on trembling shoul- ders sealed our history in this, our Alma Mater. Two Hundred Eleven i ' V ' V ' M ju BiLtf issue 1920 ANNALES Perched round on cots and floor that night, we told the tale of four months of freedom. Laughing, but just a little lonely, we watched Thirty welcome the Freshmen next evening. It was so short a time ago that Twenty-nine first stood on that threshold and now so short a time before we would leave that same hallowed hall. We struggled with our dignity, programs, majors and what not to bring them up to Senior standards. We teaed and weekended and waited for the Alpha Alpha list with true upperclassman spirit. We were photo- graphed and re-photographed like children on a picnic, but then, it was our party — Twenty-nine’s Annales. It seemed no time before Twenty-nine, at the traditional tea in those traditional Castle halls, welcomed Thirty-two to all the happiness we had found at New Rochelle. Investiture had already slipped by and Founder’s Day, leaving the beautiful memory of an unforgettable character, our Foundress, Reverend Mother Irene, had likewise sped away. In one ceaseless hurry of timeless days, we swept through the hilarious Hal- lowe’en Party into the silence of Retreat. Father Byrne, S. J., with his kindly understanding is something fine that the chaos and glamour of Senior year cannot eradicate. It was November. The national frenzy over the presidential elec- tion spread its contagion over campus. We voted, or fumed because we couldn’t! It was all part of the game. Then, Thanksgiving came just three weeks before the Christmas holidays. Home we rushed and back again. Recapturing our second breath, in filmy, floating tulle, we attended the Christmas dinner. There is a little green Christmas tree favor and a treasured Senior gift tucked somewhere in our mem-book, and in our hearts a heartache for that starry night, echoing with sacred carols, that was our last Christmas Party and our first unspoken farewell at New Rochelle. Ants may rush from their sand castle, but they rush back as certainly. The next afternoon found us no less busy ants in headlong flight from o ur dorms, only to return as precipitously two weeks later. We burrowed into books for enough precious knowledge to fly, limp or bump through exams. We did it — breathed easier — and waited for Lent. Basketball was still a 29 triumph as we gathered our forces for another Meet victory. The Mid-Year play, “The Hunchback,” lingers as a memory of unsurpassed success, especially as concerns the stars of I wenty-nine. To be sure, there were the three Senior plays that left the Props and Paint record of the Purple and White an enviable achievement. Two Hundred Twelve v. With Lenten fasts went the last of this Annales to press. With Easter came the end of the third lap of Senior year. W e were on the home stretch, unwilling to hasten the remaining days, yet hastened by them. r fhe Junior Prom this year was a break with a loved tradition. Held on campus, it was, nevertheless, as glamorous and glorious as ever. The fortnight following was a pleasant haze of teas, concerts and exclamations. The roadway was turning and just dead ahead the tape line. A breathless, exhaustive spurt, exams and nightmares darkening our days — and the tape was broken in Victory! Twenty-nine faced the climax of its history. Commencement, the dreamed-about, the long sought and labored after, had come. Daisy chain, Baccalaureate, our sheepskin! Then came the always pitiful anti-climax, the untacking from friendly walls the banner of Purple and White and the packing of that last souvenir of Twenty-nine, only a memory now. Our tassels were turned, our good- byes gulped between tears. We were no longer Odd, no longer Twenty- nine, just forever New Rochelle!

Being fully rational, we draw up our last will and testament. We request that the class of ’30 fulfill the position of executrix of this will. To Father Brady, we leave our sincere admiration and friendship and a seat in the 8th row. To Sister Aquinas, we should like to express our boundless affection and appreciation for her fine understanding and dear companionship. To Dr. Schuler, we give our gratitude for his inspiring instruction. To M iss Meyer, our ideal gym teacher, athlete and good sport, we leave fond memories of basketball days. To all future members of Alpha Nu Omicron, we will the literary traditions and many idle hours of that exclusive sorority. We consider it wise to bequeath personal characteristics thus: Be it understood that the bequests are made to those in whom similar talents lie. To Billie Shaffer and Betty Maher, w r e leave the universal popularity and friendliness of Gert McCormick and Lib Maloney. Peg Maloney’s athletic ability, to be evenly divided among Jo O’Brien, Mary Flanagan and Pat Broderick. To all coming class presidents, the dearness of Peg Devers. To Amada Rourke, Lib’s distinctive headdresses and everlasting smile. To Dorothy M. Reilly, Kay Murray’s ability to be a charming girl and yet, to portray delightful young gentlemen. To Peg Price, Evelyn Eagan’s red coat, for therein may lie some of the secrets of fine editing. Two Hundred fifteen To Frankie Clune, Myra Bueno’s ability to entertain riotously. Also, to posterity, we leave Myra’s jacket with the “meet” record. To all future college presidents, the charm and ability of Eleanor O’Brien. To Dot Engels, our appreciation of her versatility. To all striving writers, the talents of our literary cult, including such lights as Helen Roberts, Eleanor Scanned, Margaret Kelly, Eliza- beth Keber, Ruth Dunning, and Evelyn Eagan. To Virginia Hughes, the distinction of her sister, Adelaide. To Gertrude Kirk, the spiritual beauty of Bunny McGinley. Because it is rare and unlikely to be substituted, we leave to every one, the memory of Eleanor Elliott’s fineness. To all future classes and, in particular, to ’33, we bequeath the spirit, sportsmanship and pep of Moe Hearns and her crowd. Because we consider them worthy, we give the loyalty, ability and record of ’29’s w r onderful team to the team of ’31. To future dormitories of campus, we will Brescia’s beauty of architec- ture. To 1930, we leave our place as Seniors, hoping that their remaining year at New Rochelle will be a happy one. To 1931, our little sisters, we pass on the old odd spirit of loyalty to college. We ask that they will not let it die. We give them, too, our dearest love. To 1932, we wish happiness and success. To 1933, we give our beloved Purple and White. May they hold it as high and lead it to glory as often as we did. Item : To Alma Mater, we leave our inexpressible love for her beauty, in- trinsic and extrinsic, our unfaltering loyalty to her exalted standards, and our deep gratitude for all that we take with us into the wide, wide world. In witness whereof we do hereunto set our hand and seal, this day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-nine. Eleanor V. Scannell, ’29 Tivo Hundred Sixteen The day was rainy and dreary. Everyone seemed too busy to speak to an idler, so I decided to go forth and seek adventure. The musty shop of Mr. Stare proved to be my destination as I knew that there alone would I be free to roam as I wished. I had examined practically every shelf in the book store so that day I selected the dirtiest and grimiest — just to be different. There were old albums showing girls with frightfully short skirts and some with funny little hats called berets. Didn’t they dress queerly in those days? The last book was a purple leather one with a seal on the cover. As I opened it 1 felt queerly uneasy. On the frontispiece were the words “Careers Chosen by Collegians.” The author — Augustus, had a footnote which stated “Herein one may find the activities pursued by members of the Class of ’29 of the College of New Rochelle.” This seemed to be some- thing new in the line of literature, so I commenced to read. “Never in the history of civilized man have the records achieved by these young geniuses been equalled. They were unequalled in school days and they remained unequalled. “In 1932 at the Olympic games in America there were four worthy representatives of ’29. Dot Debler cleared the amazing height of three feet pole vaulting and thus carried the event for the U. S. A. Bessie Reutter was the champion tackle on the All-American football team, and Marjorie Powers was the anchor m an on the winning track team. Eleanor O’Brien received a tin loving cup as star forward on the basketball team. She was, indeed, a shooting star. “On Hunter Island the ‘Reel Films’ has as its prominent director A1 Grady. Betty Shanahan may be found busily shifting scenes for the new emotional actress who is none other than Ginny Voss. At another set Evangeline Guilfoil may be seen pleading with Gigs Lavery not to tease Bill Haines. Betty Keber is waiting to call to the next lot to throw custard pies at Miriam Thedieck. Miriam is now in the movies after attempting a bicycle ride to Paris via a new bridge. Miriam decided that pie-casting was more in her line. “In Borneo one may find a prosperous company engaged in the praise- worthy task of manufacturing and distributing a pamphlet entitled ‘Don’t Feed College Girls, They’re never hungry.’ The president is Speedy Lenz, and as usual her able assistant is Peg Lanphier. Peg illustrates, and Two Hundred Seventeen Speedy dictates. It is said their experience in past years has fitted them most perfectly for the positions. “South Norwalk, Conn., elected a new mayor. She is Peg Scully. The most recent expedition to the South Pole was led by Helen Roberts attired in a picturesque lumber jacket. Miss Roberts said all her success was due to the weather which was very much like that of her college days. Ceil Hessinger swims the Harlem River every morning to arouse an appe- tite. Kit Keefe and Helen Griffin replaced the Dolly Sisters. Their orig- inal song and dance act brought down the house in dear old London. F ran Foehr decided to do something different. You may meet her any time under the bonnet of a Salvation Army Lassie. Margaret Clifford is the best soap box politician of the day, while Margaret Esposito is still having the times of her life. “Hudson Park, which was ever the favorite haunt of ’29, has called Ruth Hayes back from her wanderings. She is now one of the famous Coast Guard. Anne Smith may be found there each spring putting the crew of the College through its paces. She has Ruth as her ready help- mate in keeping clear and unobstructed traveling for the eight. Another famous personage, Johnny Pelham, sold his domain to the energetic Lucie Dowling. As a result of a frightful argument with the Lenz, Lamphier Co., she has undertaken to prove her side of the argument with this experi- ment. At the Polo Grounds in August a big fight drew hordes of people. At the gate Winnie O’Brien was busily engaged taking tickets. Because of the many ‘tickets’ she received in college she now finds great pleasure in this occupation. I he fight, by the way, was the Drumm-Matthews bat- tle for the aluminum egg cup which w r as presented by the Athletic Associa- tion. “At the national convention of the W. C. T. U. Kay Boyle was elected permanent chairman. Her co-workers are Margaret Kelly and Dollv Dunnigan. 1 he fiery speech delivered at the corner of Broadway and 42nd St., by Margaret held up traffic for almost an hour. The police re- serves were called, but Margaret successfully fied. A bystander said it was due to an officer who allowed her to slip away. No wonder! The officer was Betty O’Hara, now a distinguished cop. “ I he delicate art of painting china has been revived. Its foremost exponent in New York is Adelaide Hughes. Her tea-cups are the basis for the talk of the town, so much so that Eleanor Scanned, now editor of the Bronx Home News , found her poem ‘To Adelaide and her Tea-Cups ' given a prominent place in Poetry Talk. Marion O’Mahoney played the lead in Broadway’s greatest production — the musical comedy, ‘Wide ' , Two Hundred Eighteen Awake.’ Fran Hutchinson was by far the most outstanding member of the chorus, although Betty Sayer’s dancing was quite a feature. “While coming in on the New York Central, where Alice Estep is rid- ing the road as Chief conductor (get the point?), a billboard reads ‘See and Hear the Outstanding Interpreter of College Songs, Kathryn Ford at the Metropolitan Opera House.’ Kay has evidently taken up singing in earnest. At the terminal, an over-zealous red cap does a rushing busi- ness. Lil Zeigler seems to like her job. She hailed a taxi, painted a screaming red, and the driver was Betty Tormey, who while not running down New Yorkers, tracks them as a private detective. The detective agency is under the direction of Anne Beckett, who promises that nothing will escape. She has on her staff Rose Mazzarella and Eleanor Obici. Their work during the past year won the distinctive praise of the police commissioner. There was one sad case which they encountered, how- ever. Isabelle Gagnon was charged with stealing a loaf of brown bread. Her case seemed hopeless until Anne and her co-mates found the correct facts of the affair. U A girls’ seminary in South Carolina has as its severe but just disci- plinarian, Kay Covert. It is said that Cov found it frightfully hard to punish the impish little red-haired daughter of Eleanor Bean. The child insists on rolling rugs. The teacher of mental gymnastics at that institution is Ray Forestelle. Her grim and determined attitude has caused much studying in South Carolina. The most recent insurrection in Tuckahoe was successfully settled by Kay Dugan. Her power as a speaker calmed the angry mob. They blame all the trouble on Mary Baine, who is in charge of the power plant. She would turn out the lights at ten o’clock. Meta Neuberg could not live under Mary’s regime. She now resides in Yonkers, which is different. “Helen Farley has gone bugs. She goes chasing through the fields, armed with nets and bottles seeking a rare grasshopper. One day she found Beany Eagan picking buttercups. It seems Bean has forsaken the red rose for this shy flower. Loretta Kobel is now hunting lions in Africa. In the L7. S. A. hunting of all descriptions was too tame for her. She goes through the jungle in a conveyance which has a body by Twomey a nd a chassis by Wagner. Twomey and Wagner’s partnership for greater automobile production is booming. As a form of good advertising they presented Loretta with her car. In Africa Loretta found Edythe Smith doing missionary work among the blacks. Edythe seems to like the work immensely and is trying to persuade Sally Freni to join her. Sally, however, is too busy in Canada with Florence Brady. They are doing a Tzvo Hundred Nineteen yy rjuo� Ltc issue 1929 ANNALES K k thriving business. As good New Rochellians always help each other, Sally moved north. The Canadian Border seems to be a pleasing place of residence, as Kay Blatchley recently bought a ranch in Ontario and Gen Carberry, on her vacation from the business world in the Big City, had a very enjoyable time pitching hay there with Gladys McGuire. Gladys is known as the champion hayer of the ranch. ‘‘Teddy Lynch and Patty Dempsey announce trains in Penn Station and find it very interesting work. They are urging their old crowd to come and do likewise so that together they may holler as much and as loudly as they please. The world of music was astounded with the power and ability of the new conductor, Margaret Wissman. Peggy has her own orchestra, and it may be heard at most of the exclusive affairs. Marion Zemmerman plays the saxophone and her solos are something worth hearing. “Alice Regan read so much about Ivory Soap’s being ninety-nine and forty-four hundredths per cent pure that she decided to prove it, and, consequently may be found washing dishes in Ag Maguire’s tea shop. They work a few months and then go traveling on their profits, leading the same carefree existence of college days. The teaching profession has been ably supported by Marg Maloney and Julie McCormick. Marg teaches inte- gral calculus, and Julie just loves her large gym class. Marion Cooper is engaged in scientific pursuits, and they say she is seeking the ‘bacillus noworkus.’ However, she and Mary Heath have a very secluded labora- tory in Jersey and will not see any visitors without an appointment. “Mary Burke is in Washington representing New York in Congress. She is known as the ‘Militant Congresswoman from Yonkers.’ In the same beautiful city Ros Bennett is painting murals in a large fireproof building which was designed by Eleanor Sheedy, Worcester’s famous daughter, and constructed by White White. Grace and Celeste are still going through things together. Pat Tierney makes plenty of money as a bricklayer with Madeline Atonna as her helper. Together they have planted many bricks. “Irene McCambridge lives in Squeedonk, Maine. Her husband is just four feet ten inches tall. Irene said it was better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall. She and her husband went to the circus which visited their town. There they found Ginger Williams as the wild woman from New Rochelle. She was scaring all the children with her fierceness. Ginger has good company, however, as Nick Madden married the circus fat man. Nick and Ginger seem to be having a circus. ‘It is said that Peggy Devers eloped with an aviator and very seldom Tzvo Hundred Twenty comes to earth. She and Ginny Hartery were interested in aviation and practically lived at Mitchell Field. Ginny has gone in for stunt flying and one day while passing over a small town she noticed someone painting a map on a roof. Upon circling lower she recognized Lib Maloney bv her black hat and standing plume. Lib was putting Aurora on the map. Kaki Halleran does the vaudeville circuit with a troop of trained cats. They play at Proctor’s very often. “Mary Barrett and Dot Bergen are also in partnership. Mary oils all the revolving doors in Childs’ Restaurants, while Dot polishes the brass. Kay Murray was always dissatisfied with their dishes; so she man- ufactures unbreakable china, which is thin and durable. The pattern is an ancient blue square or flower or what have you. Rosalie Basuino is an energetic subway guard. She is just seeking material for a book she intends to write. Dora Clary has an exciting time changing signs on the trains; so she sees Rosalie almost every day. Dora is the advisor for the forthcoming masterpiece. “Mary O’Connell spends all her time autographing baseball bats and balls. She’s in the big leagues, and Babe Ruth hasn’t a chance to make any more home runs. Mildred Murphy loves to see Mary at work because she knows that a large crowd will be there, and that her ice-cream cones and soda water will sell easily. Edith Santa Barbara owns a hair dressing establishment. As a side line she writes magazine articles and gives ad- vice to the lovelorn. She couldn’t help Margaret Connelly, though; so that young lady is now a successful actress playing the villain in most of her engagements. “At Wimbledon, Mary Fenton defeated Helen Wills 6-2, 6-3, for the tennis championship. She is one of the marvels of the age, having learned to play the game by the fifteen-minute-a-day method. Another feature of the year is Eleanor Glynn, who has succeeded her namesake and writes most unusual books. Her latest is ‘It Isn’t It.’ Myra Bueno is selling Pep from door to door. Her salesmanship is something marvelous, and her jokes rival College Humor at its best. She tried to break in an assist- ant, Julie Spalt, but Julie doesn’t like Pep; so now she’s tuning pianos with Dot Prial. “Kay Ryan has organized her own band of street cleaners to keep Brooklyn spick and span. Their success has been so great that the City gave them a free ride around the park. There they found Agnes Clune rowing in the lake. She is seriously considering a rowing marathon. Lo- raine Frenier sits by the hour and paints the swans and ducks. She has had several of her paintings accepted by the Metropolitan. On a large Two Hundred Tzventy-one yy 1929 ANNALES farm down in Georgia, Madelaine Langguth is raising peaches. Edna Hennessey journeys from Tarrytown each year for the picking season. It is said that she knows her peaches. “Flora Beauchamp is in Paris. She married the doorman at the Folies Bergere and sees most of the revues for nothing. Lucky Flora! When Irene McGlone was visiting the gay city Flora made a date for her with a gendarme. It was the perfect blind and Irene is going back next summer. Isn’t that romantic? Marion Brennan is making a name for herself as a deep sea diver. She has Ruth Nebel managing the life line and both tell of many interesting episodes. Bunny McGinley has become a confirmed old maid. She won’t read anything except the Woman’s Home Companion and has three cats. “Mildred Northrop and Margaret Hart are managing a colored or- phanage in Brewster. Their charges are little black clouds with silver linings. When Gert McCormick heard of their enterprise she insisted upon joining them and now directs all the cooking. For some unknown reason she never allows ham and cabbage or chocolate pudding to be served. “A neat shoe-shining shop was surrounded by a crowd of people and upon investigation, the cause turned out to be Louise Beauchamp and Margaret Hughes. The sign ‘Shoes Shined Inside’ draws many customers for this energetic pair. The Standard Star of New Rochelle shows each day the pen sketches of Aliys Fay. Fay is known as one of the world’s famous cartoonists. Mil Kampf is a very busy person, too. The busi ness of manufacturing clocks requires all of her time. She makes them very attractively, but the alarm rivals the gong in Brescia. Fifty feet south of Walter’s in Larchmont, Kay Lynch and Moe Hearns have a futuristic hot dog stand. While out in the wild and woolly west Nora Murray is passing the time breaking wild horses. Nonie considers this the easiest way to keep in condition. Mary Gertrude O’Mara joined her for a while but M. G. decided it was too exciting an existence. Now she is helping solve the traffic problem in Baltimore. Seraphine Sberna has an Ever- green Nursery. As a side line she grows Christmas trees, and Dolly Palmer sells the artificial snow which makes the holiday season bright and gay. Ask for Dolly’s snow at your Naborhood Store. The snow prob- lem is Marion Reardon ' s delight. She is in Nome engaged in snow shovel- ing. She has made money over night, and Ruth Coleman, her secretary, is looking for an assistant. No one need apply who doesn ' t possess purple Two Hundred Twenty-two “Mardi Gras and Carnivals are not complete without confetti; so Ginny Blattman engaged in this papery production. Kay Brennan is Ginny’s press agent and writes glowing accounts of the Blattman Confetti as a necessity every human loves. Alice Gloeckner is raising chickens in a suburb of Albany. A1 has a collection of rare birds which is almost as famous as A1 Smith’s menagerie. She feeds the bird on corn, and Ruth Dunning has a delightful time operating the corn shelling machine. She says the rhythm of its action helps her in the composition of magazine verse. Somewhere in Chicago Gert King has a florist’s establishment. Flowers seem to be very popular as she and Connie DeMartino are always extremely busy filling orders. “Charlotte Deegan is writing a cook book. She has traveled all over the country interviewing college students and receiving their favorite recipes. Charlotte maintains a model kitchen wherein Mary Jane Huli- han reigns supreme. Happy’s efficiency as a cook is the joy of Charotte’s life. Ginny Byrne runs an elevator in one of the large stores in Devon, Conn. In the same store Kay Krieg gives pointed instructions in needle- work. Winnie Casey and Margaret Feldhaus are saleswomen for Smith Bros.’ Cough Drops. They are very successful on the road. Eleanor Elliott and Pat Welch are also on the road but in a different fashion. They are on a walking tour of the States, and as a result of their experiences, they intend to give a series of nation-wide lectures. “Dot Dinan and Ruth Kiely own one of the most famous night clubs in New York. It is known as the ‘Ally Sann.’ Every night Toots Fitz- simmons and Claire McDonnell do a specialty song and dance number. A few blocks away Rosemarie Durr has a shop of a unique character. There she sells the glass eyes and wooden legs which are manufactured by Mar- garet Jaynes and Helen Sayles. Be-Al Sebastina married a horse doctor and gets a kick out of helping her husband. Regina McIntyre conducts a sightseeing tour through New York, pointing out such points of interest as the Biltmore, the Cabin, Sherry’s and Zucca’s. “Muriel Nolan is in the funny papers. Her work appears each Sun- day as an extra supplement to the Times. Kay Dooley journeys to Quebec each winter to take part in the winter sports. Her feature is ski jumping, and she invariably takes the honors. In the summer she sells sea shells in Florida. Nan Perry teaches Greek in B. U. She is a perfect absent- minded professor and forgets to spring unexpected quizzes. Mac McGil- vray, who is happily married and lives in Boston, reminds Nan of her duty toward her pupils. Virginia Patterson speaks over the radio every Tivo Hundred Twenty-three Wednesday evening on behalf of the Society for Stray Animals. The pathos in her voice touches every human heart. “A medicine has been patented which is a sure cure for broken hearts. Mary Falvey’s intense research has given this invaluable solace to the world. Rose Moraca was the first to try it and she hasn’t ceased to speak of its excellence. Now ' she doesn’t worry about broken hearts any more. “Louise Mortola and Frances Penna have become steeplejacks. They are doing the world in high. Peg Saurborn, now the Hon. Miss Saurborn, presides on the bench of the traffic court of New Rochelle and promises hard and lengthy sentences for all offenders. “So this class of the glorious Purple and White has gone forth to accomplish great deeds.” Closing the old book wfith a sigh of earnest regret I sought my friend the bookseller and asked to purchase the copy.

Grandma smiled brightly and nodded the breathless Paddy to a cushioned foot-stool. Trunks to be packed, calls to be made, and Torn would be here for her in no time — dear Tom — but Grandma’s stories were always so good. Paddy mentally conceded them to be her weakness and seated herself. Grandma rocked in silence for a minute and then abruptly began: U A Junior!

Rita Murphy President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer it seems even less possible when you tell me that all the dear old traditions and legends have remained just the same. “You are on the brink of the best year of all, dear. Bless my soul! I shall never forget the least little twist of it. “We came back that September and found our long awaited Little Sisters. Of course, the Big Sisters were gone, but we had plenty to do with these new fledglings in our care, and my! but they were a precious handful. “We wined and dined them at Welcome, Investiture, and Adoption parties. To think that I was once as solemn-eyed as they, when I first donned my tasseled cap. “So many red-letter days were milestones in that busy fall, crowned by Founder’s day and the pandemonium before the jolly Thanksgiving and the merry Christmas holidays. “You know, Paddy dear, it’s a very strange thing. While you’re in college it seems as though you are just living for vacations. It is not until all the class bells, and the Mass fines, and the blessed bonus and the black- robed figures are past and gone, that you know the really memorable hours were those spent under the very shadow of the Castle. “After Christmas, troubled exam days toppled upon us. And you will remember, dear, that we were the first class to have no Prom as a beacon light across the dark waters. But we smiled bravely and gave our best to games, our charming luncheon at Sherry’s, Mardi Gras, plays, and all the thousand and one little ventures. “Lent passed quickly and then we decided to trespass untravelled seas. A Prom on campus! How proud we were to have been the first to create what has become a beautiful and established custom. The dear old gym was for once a fairyland and although Cinderella fled at twelve, she did so with a happy sigh and a feeling of having achieved something really worthwhile. “Spring days — gloomy exams again — Commencement — how strange! We were Seniors, on the last bend of the highroad. “But here I am, going on and taking up all your precious time. Run along now, dear. Just give your old grandmother a kiss. That’s it, love. No, don’t mind that tear. It’s only a little one — and I think — I can take care of it myself.’’ Dorothy L.

With an abundance of pep and spirit, ’31 came back to New Rochelle, a little older, a little less wise and wondering what the Freshmen would be like. We introduced our- selves to them w r ith the usual welcoming party, and found ’32 to be the best of sports. We were barely settled, nor had we told our vacation stories, when we decided something must enliven the campus. Excitement ran high: the seed was sown in Brescia and traveled to Merici; we tasted the fruit of Two Hundred Thirty forbidden pleasure and took our punishment like true wearers of the Red and White. Along came Investiture; ’32 now became a part of the “dearest col- lege.” While they celebrated in Maura, to the tunes of the fine sophomore orchestra, over in Brescia the Sophomores played hostess to their sister class. Retreat brought a lull in activities, a time of thought and prayer, a period of new resolutions and promises to make the most of the time to come. “Mice and Men” caused much favorable comment on campus, and we were proud of our Sophomore dramatic talent, proud of our “Greta Garbo,” “Pat,” and “Izzy.” A turkey dinner, decorations in red and green, the dining-room a deluge of color — Christmas w r as here ! Everyone beamed with good cheer. Presents were given to our sisters and the evening closed with the singing of Carols. Then it occurred to us that this would be our last Christmas with ’29, and June was altogether too near. Everything was forgotten in the mad rush to get home, and campus buzzed with plans. Then before we knew it we were back again in familiar places, and exams overshadowed the distant horizon. 1 hey were over! [ he all-important Sophomore-Freshman game was coming. 1 he odd spirit could not be crushed; ’31 finished on top. February eleventh dawned bright and clear. Over Maura hung the glorious red and white; the Sophomores were going to enjoy a class day. Pickwick Arms was the scene of the luncheon, and under the capable direc- tion of Dorothy I). Reilly “a good time was had by all.” The next day brought the Sophomore Tatler, outstandingly fine, by common verdict, and on Wednesday we enjoyed a victory over the Juniors in basketball and won that glorious chance — a place in the Meet. Spring was drawing near. Came the Meet — ’29 versus ’31. Easter vacation and its round of activities had come and gone. Finals were over; the end approached; Commencement had begun. Though we wished them joy as they stepped on to the threshold of life, not till then did we realize that we were losing our big sisters, that they were going forever, only to live in our treasured memories. And it re- mained for us to carry on the spirit of Thirty-one. Catherine M. Ellison, ’31 Two Hundred Thirty-one XX?

Then in November, as the season changed, so did the color of the cards for now we held a number of clubs, denoting perhaps, more serious affairs. The four — symbolic of four days of retreat and recollection. December, too, brought us clubs — the seven, eight and Jack for on those days of the month (the Jack probably meant the eleventh) we enjoyed a Sodality Party followed by our reception as Children of Mary and lastly our formal adoption by the Class of ' 30. A very black club came to us when we found ourselves defeated in basketball by the Juniors. However, into the melee, a seven of hearts found its way, for did we not enjoy our first Christmas Party and have the thrill of the holidays at home? The first trick of the New Year was a doleful one — the ace of spades — and we found ourselves bereaved of one of our dearest comrades, Miriam Loughlin, whose precious fineness we treasure as a hallowed mem- ory. The cards seemed stacked, for more spades fell to our lot in the form of a basketball defeat at the hands of the Sophomores, and examina- tions, of which the less said the better. February, he was a little kinder, for he stopped his game long enough to throw confetti at us in the Mardi Gras and a few more hearts in the form of a hard-fought game with the Seniors, lost but nobly done. A mixed deal showed the oncoming mortifications of Lent and the various reactions to Freshman Tryouts for Props and Paint. March was rather unsatisfactory in that it brought only the Meet in which alas! we did not participate. Nevertheless, April was another heart month with its Easter Vacation, Class Day, and the Class Play, all tremendous successes. The three and two of this happy suit were also dealt us — most likely the party which ’32 gave to its Sisters of ’30. Spades, and more of them in May! Although we made our farewell party to the Seniors great fun, still the black shadow of their leaving us overhung all. Then again the ill-starred examinations pursued us only to be dispelled in June by a touching farewell at Commen cement to those gallant souls who were about to follow that caravan down that dusty road in earnest. The old fellow then dealt us several diamonds — our tears at the Turning of the Tassels and at saying good-bye to campus and all it signified. But with a laugh, the old gentleman gypsy hastened relentlessly on- ward, leaving us to while away the lazy summer days with the four of hearts in our hands — an earnest pledge of next year’s happiness.

Margaret Maloney, who is without doubt a star of star athletes in the history of New Rochelle, was president this year. Under her leadership and with the admirable guidance of Mother Cephas, Moderator, Miss Edna Meyer, Director of Athletics, and the other officers, much has been done to stimulate interest and arouse activity in good sportsmanship. Awards have been made for excellence in sports. Social affairs have been held for the enjoyment of members. Remarkable enterprise i s shown in the pro- motion of a European tour now being directed by members in the class of ’29. In Junior year officers from ’29 were Margaret Maloney, Vice President, and Katherine Williams, Secretary. In Sophomore year Palma Twomey represented ’29 as Treasurer. Sensational Basketball Under the captaincy of Margaret Maloney, freshman year, Ruth Nebel, sophomore year, Margaret Maloney, junior year, and Catherine Halleran, senior year — the Purple and White team has played record- breaking basketball at N. R. C. In freshman year 29 played ’28 in the famous tie game, 32-32. The score at half time was 20-9 against ’29 — the first indication of the team’s ability to rally against great odds. This rallying in the face of seeming defeat has been characteristic of the team during four years of playing. In Sophomore year ’29 defeated her sister class ’27 in a stirring con- test. However, about the middle of the year the ebullience of certain sophomore and freshmen spirits resulted in no ’29 vs. ’30 game at that time. In the previous games ’29 and ’30 were tied. By a comparison of points scored during the year ’30 was chosen to play the Meet against 28. The spirit of the team continued to be fine. The girls were forced to learn to play several positions because of vacancies. This necessitated much hard practice. Two Hundred Sixty-eight Junior year started with a series of victories and ended with a glorious meet. Twenty-nine defeated the Seniors, Sophomores and Freshmen in turn. The meet was played against our old enemy, ’28. Since the tie game each team had won one game; so the Meet decided the supremacy of ’29. Our worthy opponents, ’28, put up a strong play and led 12-11 at half time. However, old ’29 “shook down the thunder” and came forth with a decisive victory, 35-18. The remarkable team-work made the team itself the star of the game — that is, every player on the team. Campus blazoned forth the glory of the Purple. Senior year found ’29 still upholding its wonderful Junior record. The first game resulted in a high and wide victory over ' 30. The game with the Sophs was very close and exciting. Without the aid of two of its stars ’29 managed to hold the strong team of ’31 at every challenge until the final whistle, scoring 42-39. In the contest with the freshmen, ’29 emerged triumphant. A Whirlwind Varsity Quite in keeping with the unusual prowess of ’29 the Senior team made the varsity — for the 1928-29 season. Margaret Maloney was chosen captain and Ruth Nebel, manager. The other players who received the honor this year for their excellent basketball ability were Palma Twomey, Ruth Nebel, Katherine Williams, Catharine Halleran and Elizabeth Maloney. Kaki Halleran has had the distinction of making the team for three years, while Margaret Maloney, Elizabeth Maloney, Katharine Williams and Ruth Nebel have made it for two years. Eove of the game is a great characteristic of the varsity players and doubtless one of the reasons for their success. Cooperation is also a prominent feature. Victory for the team and loyalty to ’29, rather than personal glory, have been the motivating forces. These, together with splendid pass-work, speed and efficiency, have created the ability to win in the face of all obstacles for which ’29 is famous. Special mention should be given for faithfulness in practice, not only on the part of the team, but of the subs who were the mainstay of the team and who gained nothing but the fun of playing. Strong Class Backers It is well to mention the fact that the team of 29 found staunch support in the class. The backing of the class always provided an incentive to work and fight harder for victory — and victory once won never failed to receive due recognition. Kathleen Covert, spirited and peppy cheer- Two Hundred Sixty-nine leader, for four years has roused class loyalty with cheers and songs. She has been ably assisted for the last two years by Gertrude McCormick. Twenty-nine Scores in Field Day With fine spirit and cooperation ’29 has come out for the annual Field Day and has succeeded each year in accumulating points to win. While there were several stars, it was this cooperation that made it possible to enjoy victory as a team for three successive years, thus setting a prece- dent unsurpassed in the history of New Rochelle. Excellence was showm especially in discus throw, basketball throw and high jump. In Freshman year Margaret Maloney had the highest indi- vidual score. In Sophomore year Katherine Williams gained second place for the honor of ’29, and Margaret Maloney again scored first in Junior year tying with Eleanor Rice, ’28. Hockey to the Fore Members of ’29 have been instrumental in arousing interest in hockey every year. ' While the distance of the field has hindered the development of the game at N. R. C., it is evident from the large attendance that it has great possibilities. Myra Bueno has been squad manager this year. Ruth Nebel, Katherine Krieg, Loraine Frenier and Margaret Maloney are the Twenty-niners who have engaged in this sport. Games were played between the odd and even members of the squad, and the victories of the odds in the majority of games was largely due to the w r ork of ’29’s stars. Records in Gymnastic Exhibition In the personal performance contest of the yearly gymnastic exhibi- tion members of the class of ’29 have contributed much. In Sophomore year ably executed performances gave Ruth Nebel second place and Kath- erine Williams third place. Katherine Williams took second place Junior year in an admirable program. At the distribution of awards, many w T ere the Twenty-niners who received their class numerals, and for three consecutive years ’29 has received the cup awarded to the winner of Field Day. Active Tennis Club Agnes Clune, ’29, was instrumental in the formation of a tennis club last year which has done a great deal to boost that sport at N. R. C. Her Two Hundred Seventy i SSucXgawii 1919 ANNALES enthusiastic and successful efforts are most commendable. Previous to the formation of the club a yearly tournament was held open to anyone in college. Margaret Maloney was the singles champion for freshmen and sophomore years. However, last year class teams were formed by elimination tournaments. Interclass contests proved of great interest and gave the singles and doubles championships to ’29’s team. Margaret Maloney retained the singles championship and the doubles championship was won by Agnes Clune and Kaki Halleran. Agnes Clune has been president of the Tennis Club since its foundation and a member of the team. Margaret Maloney was the manager of ’29’s team and the other members who deserve honorable mention are: Kaki Halleran, Virginia Patterson, Ruth Kiely and Margaret Connelly. Margaret F.

Vice-President Secreta Loretta Dwyer Business Ala Elizabeth Letellier JUOIlU issue 1929 ANNALES College of New Rochelle: 1904-1929 T HE sombre gray of the Castle, inte nsified by the azure of the skies, tinted by the rose of autumn sunsets, or now and then illuminated by the mellow gold of a late afternoon, possesses for us an unchang- ing attraction. To us who have for four years remarked the panorama of which it is part, it is as a symbol, and it is in this conception that we would present it to you who read. The history of the college is more than a recital of facts. Ever) step of its advance is colorful, inspiring. It is not solely the story of ma- terial advancement; it is woven in a pattern in which vision, sacrifice, and dauntless perseverance constitute the fabric. The community of the nuns of St. Theresa Convent, in Henry Street, New York, came to New Rochelle in 1897. After seven years’ experience with the Ursuline Seminary, they founded the College of St. Angela, in 1904. At that time the education of young women was not nearly so widespread as in the present day, and the task confronting these pioneer educators was manysided and difficult, but the aim for which St. Angela Merici had long ago founded the Ursuline Order was propagated in this inception of the college, the first Catholic college for women in New York State. Reverend Mother Irene, the foundress, was assisted in her project by Mother Augustine, Mother Seraphine, Mother de Sales, and Mother Ignatius. The Castle, which was the cornerstone of the undertaking, possesses in its own right, a glamorous history. In former days the estate of Simeon Eel and extended over a vast area. Many were the social gath- erings held there; and even now the picturesque figures of the past seem, if one is fancifully inclined, to exert an influence upon the present. But where formerly the gay laughter of the huntsmen rang out, the subdued voices of students were audible, for it was in the Castle that the initial classes were held. Here also were recreation and study centers. In 1907, after the erection of a large gymnasium and classroom building, three private homes adjoining the Ursuline property were pur- chased. The phenomenal increase in registration of itself justifies the inception of this pioneer movement in education in New York State. The passing of the years has witnessed many changes, and from the worthy, but modest beginning has been evolved the largest college for Catholic women in the United States. Two Hundred Ninety-one _2 Motivated as the Order is by the aims of St. Angela Merici, they have succeeded in presenting a type of instruction which pierces the sur- face of facts, and evokes the inherent capabilities of the student. Side by side with the tangible progress of the college, has been observed a similar progress in things of the spirit. Traditions, which we today cherish and pass on, are many and varied, and form a veritable part of college life. Aroused as they were by the love and esteem w’hich those who preceded us felt toward the college, they are eminently precious. Student government was introduced into being in 1909, through medium of the Advisory Board. Now r societies of universal attraction are many. With the augmentation of the student body there was of neces- sity a decided increase in the variety of activities offered. Simultaneously with the graduation of the first class of the college appeared the first issue of the Quarterly, the official literary organ of the college. Sodality is one of the oldest college organizations. Later on, the formation of Alpha Alpha, the honorary philosophical society, provided interest of a highly intellectual nature. The inception of the dramatic society, Props and Paint, was a previous step in the crea- tion of helpful interests for the student body. So rapidly that their coming seemed barely perceptible, until they were long established, appeared Press Club, whose medium of expression is the Tatler, and Glee Club, whose annual concerts in New York are productive of great success. We have, too, the Council of Debate, whose evolution from its well established basis is marked more recently by inter- collegiate debates. The Music Clubs afford training and entertainment to the many lovers of sound. The Language Clubs insure greater facility in expression, presided over as they are by the leading faculty members of each department. Scribblers, an informal discussion club, with a literary motif, w T as organized by some members of the class of 1929. This year witnessed the inauguration of a Current Events Club with Dr. Schuler as moderator. It is expected that the enthusiasm felt now will continue as a favorable augury. Just as the societies have increased with the years, so too, the suc- cessive periods of the growth of the college have seen here and there new buildings rise to lend their scholastic dignity to campus. Brescia Hall, the newest dormitory building on campus, is yet imbued with the pervading charm of old things. Brescia, its name, conjures up the old world loveli- ness of Brescia, Italy, where in the Middle Ages, St. Angela of Merici founded her Order, the Ursulines. The building itself is Gothic in style Two Hundred Ninety-two juttn.e£ issue 1929 ANNALES and is most beautiful at night when the moon sheds its silver light on the roof, and the sunken garden becomes a fantasy of light and shadow, while the windows gleam like beacons in the darkness. It provides accommoda- tions for two hundred students. The spacious hall of Maura is distinctive in its unique position on campus. To all it constitutes the center of social activities and pleasant memories. Within it a large dining room and a luxurious living room alike provide a meeting ground for mutual interests and endeavor. On the first landing is an unusually arresting statue of Our Blessed Mother who has given her name to this hall and protection to all who pass beneath her outstretched hands. In striking contrast with the austere beauty of Maura and Brescia is the colonial loveliness and charm of Merici. It seems to hold out welcom- ing hands extending to us the courtesy of Southern plantations, their per- vasive tranquillity and peace. Merici, so called because of the sur name of St. Angela, was formerly the home of Francis Wilson, the actor, and it is reminiscent of the glamour of the theatre. Among the smaller halls are several named in honor of people noted either in the advancement of the Order or in the progress of the college. Halpin bears the name of the Reverend Patrick A. Halpin, beloved chap- lain of the college for many years. Ursula Hall, a trim white building, recalls St. Ursula, the patroness of the Ursuline Order; Leland Hall, the original owner of the Castle; Sherwood Hall, an early English martyr; St. Angela’s Hall, the foundress of the Ursulines; Garda, the lake near which she lived, and Newman Hall, the eminent cardinal. These buildings, familiar as they are, are more than that, — they are commem- orative. The summer of 1927 witnessed the completion of the Science Uecture Hall, which contains also a large college a uditorium. Its modern furnish- ings permit of great accomplishments, while its outward stateliness is but an index of the great task promulgated within. But it is chapel, whose strength rears itself in harmonious outline against the heavens, which is the well beloved place of campus. The exte- rior is in keeping with the predominant note, the interior reveals itself as a simply decorated yet inspiring whole, a reproduction of a sixteenth century chapel. In particular the Rood Beam with its message of sub- limity attracts us and fills us each time we see it with an ever increasing awe and love. The approach to Chapel is marked by a path guarded by the Silent Elm, and all who pass preserve the traditional silence. In truth, a fit and appropriate preparation. Two Hundred Ninety-three joi iut issue 1929 ANNALES WWW? Between all the classes past and present there is an ever deepening bond, each link of which is grounded in tradition. At New Rochelle it is the capabilities of the individual which are considered, and thus, there is between the newest and the oldest member a standard of equality, It is with this in mind that the first days of the new Freshmen are made as pleasant as possible by everybody. Even before the newcomer arrives she has one firm friend in her Junior Sister. This custom is dear to every New Rochelle girl, and each awaits Junior year as the time when she, too, will have a little sister. The Juniors and Sophomores extend their greet- ings at informal dances while the Seniors welcome the newcomers at a formal tea. It is not long before the solemn occasion of Investiture serves as an impressive initiation to the membership of the college. The mellow glow of candles falls like a gentle benediction upon the serious countenances of Juniors and Freshmen while soft music relates the deep and abiding love which is to exist between the classes. The following morning, Founders’ Day is observed. After Mass the entire college marches in procession to the Gymnasium and it is now that the new class is formally welcomed by the Foundress. The moment in which she welcomes the youngest members is fraught with deep emotion, so sincere are her words. There is one tradition which differs as the class is Odd or Even. At this time the Freshmen and their sister class are welded by a very deep bond. The Odds have a tradition which is unusual in its beauty and mean- ing, The ceremony which is known as the Wedding represents the fusion of the two classes in a scene whose charm is of a lasting and indelible char- acter. The two Presidents are the central figures in this mingling of fan- tasy and reality. If the class is Even, it is formally adopted. At this ceremony, which is called the Adoption, other colleges vie for the new students, but invariably Miss New Rochelle is victorious. Of a universal appeal is the annual Christmas party. Coming as it does during a season which is sublime in its own right, it reflects this to a marked degree. Now for the first time the Seniors feel the pangs which must come inevitably with Spring. This lends a bitter-sweet fragrance to the event which is planned for them. Junior year is long anticipated, for it is then that we become upper classmen. But more than this it is then that we receive our college rings which bear the official insignia of New Rochelle. Although the major portion of our activity is enhanced throughout the four years by tradition we feel no impulse to remove the observance of these fondly cherished ceremonies. Rather do we feel that our love for the college is deepened Two Hundred Ninety-four jimiUE issue 1929 ANNALES and made more profound by retracing even in memory the paths which those who have preceded us have trod. Tradition here is perhaps the truest explanation of the unity of spirit which characterizes the Alumnae and undergraduates. Twenty-five years! But a short quarter of a century, and yet, within that brief space, a woman, frail, yet motivated by lofty idealism and reli- gious fervor, has been able with the aid of her own talents and the wise counsels of her colleagues to found an institution of high scholastic order, and to see year by year the inevitable results of a divine mission, in the progress and development of this, the largest Catholic women’s college of the United States. Truly it has been an epic of achievement and we, the Jubilee Class, feel humbled in the presence of one who has so truly the divine prompting and whose zeal can but burn with a steady glow in the years to come. Helen F. Roberts 7 ' wo Hundred Ninsiy-five 1929 ANNALES Miss Virginia Dalton President of the Alumnae In October, 1929, the College of New Rochelle will celebrate its silver anniversary. One of the biggest features of this happy occasion will be the gift of $25,000 which the Alumnae of the College will present to the Foundress. It will be a day of special rejoicing as Mother Irene, the Foundress, will also celebrate her golden anniversary as a member of the Religious of St. Ursula. At first glance, this Jubilee Fund of $25,000 does not seem like a large gift. Yet, a resume of the history of the Alumnae Association makes one wonder how it could undertake a proposition of such proportions. Tu’O Hundred Ninety-six juaiLfcE issue 1919 ANNALES The College of New Rochelle is twenty-five years old. I hen, by the process of subtraction, the Alumnae must be twenty-one years of age; must have just attained its majority. Starting with a membership of nine in the first graduate class, in 1908, the Alumnae has increased by an unheard of percentage to the sum of one thousand and fifty-one members, which will be duly enlarged by one hundred and fifty-seven new members in June, 1929, when the graduating class automatically joins its ranks. When the Alumnae became so large that the provisions in the Con- stitution adopted in 1920 could not handle the Association, it became necessary to reorganize the Association. Under the leadership of Mrs. Francis Brainard (Virginia Waldron, ' 19) and Mrs. Leo G. Sullivan (Irene Foster, ’18), two progressive Presidents, many splendid activities were begun. The Alumnae News , suggested by Mrs. Brainard, was one. This was to be a bi-monthly bulletin, published by the Alumnae Associa- tion and sent to every active member without charge. It was to contain news of college life, Alumnae activities, and most of all, personal items. In October, 1926, after serious research under the guidance of Miss Irene Hendrick, LL.B., T7, a new Constitution and set of by-laws were adopted at a general meeting of the Association, and in January, 1927, the Associa- tion became incorporated. Miss Virginia E. Dalton, ’21, during the presi- dency of Mrs. R. B. Sasseen (Teresa Regan, ’20), instituted the Jubilee Drive for a $25,000 fund to be presented to the College on the anniver- sary of its birth. Because of her indomitable zeal, and remarkable effi- ciency, Miss Dalton was recognized as a leader, and was elected President of the Alumnae Association of the College of New Rochelle for the term 1 929-193 1 . Under her leadership the Fund has become an actuality rather than a cherished dream, and the Alumnae, under her able guidance, feel secure that their best interests are safely guarded. With its incorporation, and the acceptance of a new Constitution, the Alumnae called for the institution of the office of Executive Secretary. Miss Loretta Gorman, ’20, in the fall of 1927, was made the first full time secretary, on this basis. She is an executive and an active organizer, and besides doing fine work in the organization of an Alumnae office, she was a valuable factor in the formation of many of the Alumnae Chapters. She was succeeded in the fall of 1928 by Miss Helen Mitchell, ’27, who, as the exigencies of the Drive became acute, was made a part time secre- tary. Through the kindness of Mother Irene, an office was established in Brescia Hall, and there the Executive Secretary may be found three days each week. The Alumnae office has been furnished both from the general Alumnae funds and from contributions. Miss Mitchell edits the Alumnae Two Hundred Ninety-seven Tuaiutf issue 1919 ANNALES News , which has grown from a six-page leaflet to a sizeable bulletin of twenty-four pages in the six years of its existence. 1 he general files of the Alumnae are in this office and are at the disposal of the Alumnae. It was found provident to establish Chapters of the Alumnae in various sections of the country, that the Association which was becoming unwieldy for the main organization to handle expertly, might be efficiently established in different cities. Thus, there are seventeen Alumnae Chap- ters with several others in the process of formation. I heir Constitutions are approved by the Board of Directors of the main association, and their activities are in accord with those of the organization as a whole. They also work in conjunction, as far as possible, with the Undergraduate Clubs of the College in these cities. Regular meetings are held in June and October while the Board of Directors meets in New York City each month. The Board is composed of the four general officers, the Executive Secretary, four general board mem- bers elected from the main organization, and the Committee Chairmen. The Constitution provides for an Annual Alumnae Convention. The Third Annual Convention was held in New York City at the Carroll Club, on March second and third, 1929. Chapter Presidents, or their appointed delegates as well as the Board of Directors may vote, while the general members of the Alumnae have the privilege of the floor. Associate membership in the Alumnae is open to anyone who has at- tended the College for a year or more, and has not since then attended another College, and is approved by the College authorities and the Board of Directors. There are at present twelve such members. The Chairman of Entertainment arranges a monthly luncheon, on the first Saturday of each month, in New York City. Notices are sent one week in advance to all the members of the Association. A Chairman has been appointed to organize a Vocat ional Bureau for the Alumnae, and this Committee has already accomplished much in this A spiritual retreat for the Alumnae is held each year at the College during Holy Week, and is a means of bringing the members together. The activities of the Alumnae Association include that of an annual Theatre Party, held usually in October, the night before Founder’s Day. This usually swells the general treasury. Miss Aimee Bodkin, ’24, was the successful chairman of the theatre party held in October, 1928. The Senior Tea, held in June of each year, as a welcome to the incoming Alumnae, is another special affair. The Chapters, with their own activi- ties of bridges, teas, and dances, besides their regular business meetings, yyv. 1929 ANNALES help along the spirit of good will and fellowship that is so essential for an organization of this kind. The Alumnae Association, then, is an active organization of almost twelve hundred members; maintains an Alumnae Office and an Executive Secretary; publishes a bi-monthly bulletin; organizes seventeen Chapters, has an efficient Board of Directors, and live Committee Chairmen, and finally successfully swings a Drive for $25,000. It is a member of the American Alumni Council, which puts it on a par with the finest University and College Alumni in the United States. It is also a member of the Intercollegiate Alumni Extension Service, which provides information of Alumnae at the various hotels listed in its pages. To put it mildly, the Alumnae Association of the College of New Rochelle, Inc., is an active, progressive, and well regulated organization, which has done much in the twenty-one years of its existence. Neverthe- less, to it, the matter of a $25,000 Fund is still no small undertaking, and it is engrossing much of the time and attention of the Alumnae as a whole. Chapters are working for their assessments; individuals are straining their efforts to reach the goal, and the Alumnae Association, as a united group, look forward to October, 1929, as the peak of their achievements so far. There is no doubt in their minds that the Fund will reach the mark set for it, and after that, who knows what things the Alumnae will not do? An Alumnae House is still a dream, and toward that, their efforts may be directed after the Jubilee Fund is completed. Life holds much in store for such an organization which has embodied in its Con- stitution as well as in the hearts of its members — “That the object of the Association shall be to foster the spirit of fellowship among the gradu- ates and to promote the interests of the College of New Rochelle.” Helen Hudson Mitchell, ’27 Tivo Hundred Ninety-nine 1929 ANNALES Banner Song Words by EVELYN K. Eagan Music by Marie Gertrude O’Mara JLoyal we sing the glory Of our banner blue and white, Crowning towers hoary, A-gleam in bright sunlight. Happy days of college ’Neath its sheltering folds, Taught us all the honor That New Rochelle upholds. Chorus Rock spheres with thunder Voice the proud, triumphant mi Praise the radiant wonder Of our banner blue and white. Let our singing clearly ringing All our promises retell Honor ever to be bringing On the name of New Rochelle Though time dulls the keenness Of college joys and tears, Graven in our memories By these flying years, Still inspiring brave deeds Shines an image bright, Alma Mater’s standard, Glorious blue and white. Three Hundred 1 I If m rjuaiuc issue 1929 ANNALES The Purple Dipped in Silver T HE index of the worth of a college is obviously the calibre of its graduates and undergraduates. New Rochelle attained its majority in 1925. Like a youth who has devoted years of effort in equipping himself for life and who, at twenty-one, stands on the threshold of his prime. New Rochelle faced a crucial period of rapid development for which years of self-sacrificing labor had paved the way. With shining standards unsmirched, with tra- ditions loyally reverenced, and with ideals nobly upheld, New Rochelle had spent her first youth, and the years were swiftly bearing near her silver jubilee. The fall of 1925 ushered in the jubilee class on whose youthful shoul- ders was to rest a triple responsibility. They were to learn the ways of New Rochelle, to breathe her atmosphere, to adhere to her traditions, to discern and love her hallowed purpose, in short, to keep faith with her past. Also, they were to grasp the possibilities with which New Rochelle was brimming and to shape these into definite achievements, in brief, to carry over the splendid past into an active present. Moreover, they were obliged to achieve all things ethically, to guide their eager hands with an eye on New Rochelle’s proud banner dazzlingly white and celestially blue. I he jubilee class owes a duty to all succeeding classes in that it leaves an indelible impress on the college at a turning point in college history. It sets the tone of college habit for years to come. It was at this critical period in New Rochelle’s history that the Class of 1929 assumed the re- sponsibility of the first jubilee class of New Rochelle. With characteristic energy, they took the initiative, and with characteristic talent have forged a chain of remarkable achievements. In scholarship, 1929 knows no superior. The scholastic records of Charlotte Deegan, Margaret Connolly, Evelyn Eagan, Margaret Kelly, Margaret Devers, Lucie Dowling, Katherine Williams, Helen Roberts, Ruth Dunning, Mary Fenton, Elizabeth O’Hara, and Elizabeth Keber are pages of brilliant achievement. It is obvious that leadership is an essential quality in a jubilee class. Nineteen hundred twenty-nine has known the efficient administration of Rosemary Hearns, Eleanor Elliott, and Margaret Devers; and from its ranks came a remarkable executive in Eleanor O’Brien. Leadership in all the fields of campus activity has been squarely shouldered by Evelyn Eagan, Elizabeth O Hara, Kaki Halleran, Helen Roberts, Margaret Jaynes, IVIar- Threc Hundred Tivo garet Maloney, Margaret Kelly, Elizabeth Maloney, Dora Clary, and Ruth Dunning. In athletics 1929 may boast of a basketball team which has been undefeated for two years, the members of which occupy six out of nine positions on the varsity team. The incomparable Maloneys, Kaki Hal- leran, Ruth Nebel, Pal Twomey, and Ginger Williams have made many a good old Purple day. Margaret Maloney has been college tennis cham- pion for four years. When an interclass team tournament was inaugurated under Agnes Clune’s direction in 1928, wearers of the Purple flashed vic- torious racquets, winning also the doubles title. Mary Barrett, Kit Keefe, Peg Devers, and the Maloneys have been giants of the diamond, helping to pile up points on Field Day so that 1929 broke all records by winning Field Day for three successive years, the only upperclass team ever to win first place. The pages of Quarterly afford ample evidence of the literary ability of Twenty-niners. Since 1926 when the poetry of Ruth Dunning, Eleanor Scanned, Eucie Dowling, and Margaret Kelly, Elizabeth Keber’s critiques, and Evelyn Eagan’s stories first appeared, much of the finest Quarterly ma- terial has been contributed by Twenty-niners. During the last year, under Helen Roberts’ brilliant editorship, the magazine has reached new peaks of excellence. When, as Juniors, 1929 took over the publication of The Tatler, such a remarkable improvement in journalistic content, form and organization was effected during Evelyn Eagan’s editorship that intercol- legiate as well as faculty and student comment was thereby excited. Press Club, moreover, enjoyed the most prosperous financial year in its existence, Elizabeth O’Hara as business manager, starting with a treasury of sixty dollars, not only met the increased expense of paper improved by varied type and pictures, but also established a precedent by donating a full tuition scholarship on behalf of Press Club, and besides left five hundred dollars in the Press Club treasury for the furnishings and equipment of an ade- quate office for the Tatler staff. The Tatler office is now a comfortable sanctum in Brescia Hall. In Alpha Alpha, the Seniors under Father Brady and Ruth Dunning have made interesting studies of the application of academic philosophy to life; their emphasis has been increasingly on the practical value of their philosophical studies. In the language clubs, the application of theory to practical problems has excited the interested cooperation of 1929. In 1928, Connie de Martino, Secretary of El Centro Hispano, won third prize in a nationwide essay contest sponsored by Ea Prensa, Spanish daily news- paper, with her essay on the old missions of the southwest. Three Hundred Three juaiute issue 1929 ANNALES When the Council of Debate was reorganized in 1928, Margaret Jaynes, ’29, then a Junior, was elected president. Muriel Nolan, ’29, and Helen Roberts, ’29, appeared in the public debates last year, and have represented New Rochelle in intercollegiate forensics this year. Margaret Kelly, ’29, and Evelyn Eagan, ’29, sensing the need of a discussion club, assembled ten charter members from Twenty-nine and founded Scribblers, an exclusive organization, the meetings of which are devoted to informal discussion of current history, literature, and art. The charter members are Margaret Kelly, Evelyn Eagan, Ruth Dunning, Helen Roberts, Margaret Deevers, iVdelaide Hughes, Elizabeth O ' Hara, Elizabeth Keber, Winifred O’Brien, and Eucie Dowling. Mother Francis d’Assisi is the moderator. In Props and Paint, Eleanor Eliott, Katherine Murray, Virginia Hartery and Margaret Hughes among others will uphold the reputation of their class. Under the leadership of Margaret Hughes, ’29, Winifred O’Brien, ’29, and Katherine Ryan, ’29, in May of this year, Glee Club held its first city concert since 1926 at the K. of C. Hall in Brooklyn. Glee Clubs from Fordham and other colleges have been guests of the New Rochelle Glee Club for the first time in four years. The first Mission Day proved an outstanding success during Twenty- nine’s freshman year, and since that time the Tittle Flower booth, the Japanese tea room, and other ventures sponsored by the class have con- tributed largely to the aid afforded the missions by the college. Muriel Nolan, ’29, is the foundress and president of the Little Flower Society, in which Twenty-nine was the first to enroll as a class. Each class thus enrolled will accumulate sufficient funds during its four college years so that simultaneously with its Commencement will begin the construction of a much needed chapel somewhere in the domestic missions. The first of these chapels will commemorate the Jubilee Class of the College of New Rochelle. In music, Twenty-nine is represented by Marie Gertrude O’Mara and Alice Regan. The posters of Lucie Dowling and Louise Mortola have been beautifully in evidence for four years, not only here but abroad, for both girls have made, different years, the winning Mission Day poster which is lithographed and sent out as an advertisement. Socially, Twenty-nine cherishes the memory of the last Junior.

On the pages of New Rochelle history, the first Jubilee Class has left their record in characters which shine silver in the waning light as Twenty-nine departs. It is the hope of Twenty-nine that twenty-five years hence, when the next Jubilee Class is leaving New Rochelle, those charac- ters will have deepened in impression and mellowed into gold.

How can there ever be aught of forgetting? Places we love remain graved in the heart. Deep within the chapel of the heart there is a shrine for each place we have loved. The w r alls are inlaid with bits of color, each one reminis- cent of some cherished part. Turn the mellow light of memory on this dim mosaic, and lo ! the colors are living, vivid, and gazing in their depths, we walk familiar ways again. The day has come when we must leave this well-loved home. Pausing on its threshold, w 7 e find around us myriad memories, dear faces, treasured scenes. That we may remember forever, let us design this bright mosaic of our youth. Vast and multi-colored is the material before us. Gray — stones of a castle; smoke, rising from burning autumn leaves. Gold — laughter, the air of springtime, windows that shatter the dark- ness, candles at Investiture. Blue — clear skies, a Virgin’s gown. The blueness deepens and we are surrounded by a poignant, lilac-scented dusk. White — the gleaming crustiness of snow; a fine high-spirited deed. Purple — sacrifice, deep sanctity, the royal shade of class loyalty. Amber — lambent sunshine, that steals into chapel to adore and to raise prayerful hearts still higher. Green — friendship; happy, verdant trees, young grass, Commence- ment. Mother-of-pearl — the color of dreams. Brown — wistful, girlish heads; gentle shadows, fallen leaves. Silver — the sound of the Angelus, the peaceful evening star. Red — the Christmas party and its gaiety, the blossoms of the court- yard garden, the Lamp that leads to the Adored Heart. Our mosaic is finished; the shrine is built into our hearts. Before it we place the unquenchable lamp of memory. Eleanor V.

History of a ’29-er How She Got That W ay When Sue was a freshman, she thought that dates were fruit, but as the week ends went on, she learned in her geography that Fordham is a section of the Bronx noted for its institutions for boys such as, well — take the Catholic Protectory, for instance. (Take it anywhere; in fact, drop it, but don’t be taken in.) In Geology, she found that Old Rose Hill was so called because it looked best when seen through rose-colored glasses. Simultaneously, came the knowledge that others besides fisher- men and music students could throw a line and use technique, and later, that Linden Lane wasn’t named for Lindbergh. Sue was a Senior before her week ends all waxed strong and mascu- line, and her idea of a good old Purple day was three letters from Holy Cross, but to this day she can’t remember whether Manhattan is a college or a transfer. Class ' Won’t and Testyment W E, THE CLASS OF 1929, having proven our rationality, in tak- ing leave of this college, do bequeath to our heirs the following legacies : We appoint as our executor our dear friend and associate, the campus cat (one of the four hundred). Ahem! To Alma Mater, another tennis court or two or three, or four, Three Hundred Forty Ahem! To Brescia, some molding. Ahem! To Class of 1930, the senior privileges (all of them) and our absence, with the assurance that the latter will be greatly appre- ciated. To Class of 1931, a swimming pool. To Class of 1932, a prom. To Class of 1933, our cherished Black and Blue. Ahem! To the college president, a microphone. To the Editor of Annales, a postoffice, with the assurance that she won’t have time to play it. To the Editor of Tatler, a buggy ride. To the roommates of campus celebrities, the rewards they de- serve. To M. E. O ' Brien, we give the slip. To the watchman, shoes guaranteed to squeak. To the Advisory Board, our sympathy. In witless whereoff, we do lick our seals this first day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine.

Secretary of a Bull Session Actual reply received on December 10, 1927, postmarked Worcester, Mass., December 9, 1927: Holy Cross College Thursday Eve. Dear Sec’y: I am just a lonely boy — all I have is time and money with no one to spend either on. As you can probably imagine, I do not like to talk about myself, but would like to modestly state my essential qualities — I am tall, and, to say the least, easy on the eyes. As regards my hair — what few I have left, are of the curly, (dank) dark nature, pompadour style. As for personality — I know several good parlor jokes. I have taken three correspondence courses from Ned Wayburn’s Correspondence School of Dancing — having been presented with my diploma by Special Delivery only last week. I can do the Charleston and the Split. Can you? Though my ears are small, they wax strongly! As regards my feet, I wear size 3 4, O’Sullivan’s heels! Though this letter may seem flat, my feet are not! If these qualities meet with your standard requirements, kindly send 10c for autographed picture. Awaiting your early reply, I am, Yours in hope, John (Jack) P.S. — Can stay out until 12 M. for the Prom. Three Hundred Forty-two k 9 Htj rai f ■ :h i m ' Ht‘ ! F OR four brimming years the out- flung arm of New Rochelle has sheltered us within the beauty of her strong, gray walls. Now, for the last time, we watch the sun brushing the tree- tops west of Maura paint the castle win- dows with rose and blue and gold, and, look- ing back along a path of memories, we find each youthful deed and dream stamped with the seal of New Rochelle, and the whole sunny vista encircled by the gold band which links us, hand and heart, to Alma Mater. Pale ribbons split the purpling shadows, and the castle panes are silvered by a star. Through the treetops swimming in a vio- let mist, the rising breezes, whispering the silver benediction of the stars, echo the prayer within our hearts: “May God be with you New Rochelle” jirniu? issue 1929 ANNALES of the Alumna© Association EXECUTIVE Virginia E.

A college annual should be the finest expres- sion of the printer’s art. Annuals by Brandow are that kind. For we feel obligated to live up to the confidence expressed by twenty -four leading colleges for whom we A created year books last year. The printing of college annuals is, with us, more than the production of beautiful vol- umes ... it is a hobby — for we revel in the true job of creative, artistic craftsmanship. To withstand constant handling the covers are as sturdy as artistic. The type is clear, harmonious, balanced. A patented process makes it possible for us to produce cuts which retain all the pristine clearness of the original photographs. So well do we serve our schools that invariably the staffs have recommended us to their successors.
