This is the year of the Jubilee not only for the stu- dents of the graduating class, nor for the administration which claims Mother Irene as its own, but also for the faculty with its tradition of a half century of devotion. New Rochelle belongs to the faculty in a special way, be- cause they have given themselves in generous measure. They have a double dedication: to the learning which they hold dear and to which they contribute their own thoughts, and to the student to whose perfecting they give the labor of their individual days. In their case there is no contradiction in double service; there is in- stead work multiplied, leisure foregone, responsibilities increased. To the devoted men and women who have helped us to become students and to reach a little nearer to maturity, we dedicate this Annales of 1954, hoping by this means to assure them that we are aware of their dedication to % us. RIBUTE . . those who exercise sacred power in this Body are its first and chief members . . To our Archbishop, who feeds his flock and rules in the name of Christ, who governs us as members of his archdiocese, and demon- strates, too, a paternal interest in us, we offer the tribute of respect- ful and grateful children. 4 CKNOWLEDGEMENT To Mother Dorothea and Mother Mary Peter we have looked for the highest embodiment of the ideals to which we aspire, and have found these manifested in their dedication to our full and deepest development. For their love which springs from the Deepest Source, a love which we have experienced as individuals and as a whole — we are humbly grateful. PPRECIATION It is proper to sing, with the fathers of the Church, the praises of those who combine the active and contemplative life, who put into practice the two commandments to love God and man. To Mother Mary Robert and Mother Mary Judith, who have fostered our growth through devoted activity and prayers, we offer our praise and love. ECOGN ITION Special recognition this Jubilee Year is due our beloved Mr. Thompson who for twenty-five years has helped to keep New Rochelle young and to make it grow. As founder of the art depart- ment and the embodiment of its ideals, he has molded its achieve- ments, increased the artistic beauty of the college, and left the imprint of his talents on the many students whom he has guided. ERNEST THORNE THOMPSON Professor of Art AND THOU SHALT sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month in the time of expiation in all your land. AND THOU SHALT sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession and everyone shall go back to his former family. ( Leviticus 25: 9,10.) The year of jubilee is the year of years. It is a year of rebirth when, freed from servitude, one returns to first roots; it is a year of rest in original possessions. Essentially, it is a year of sanctity and joy. The real year of jubilee when, in fulfillment of the prophecy, every man was freed from the servitude of sin in order to return to his original possessions and to his former family, the joyous year of remission when we were born anew into the state of grace and united with one another in the Mystical Body occurred over nineteen hundred years ago when Christ redeemed the world and established His Church. From thenceforth, any further celebration of a jubilee could only look to that point of culmination for its significance for the year of jubilee was and will continue to be. Therefore, on this the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the college, we of the senior class, endeavoring to publish a yearbook befitting the jubilee year, look back to the first roots of New Rochelle in the light of this true and everlasting jubilee. We chose for our theme the growth of New Ro chelle, paralleling it with the growth of the Mystical Body. As Christ, the Head of the Mystical Body was conceived by the Holy Ghost in the womb of the Virgin Mary, so, with the conception of the idea of New Rochelle in the mind of our foundress, we were placed under the protection of Our Lady. The idea of New Rochelle conceived in the mind of Mother Irene Gill soon became a reality with its birth in 1904. As the Church was born from the side of our Savior on the cross, so too, with Christ as her head, New Rochelle came into being and grew in size having the campus cross as its center. The manifestation of the Church on Pentecost may be likened to the manifestation of the school, when enlightened by the Holy Spirit, our faculty, like the apostles, stands firm to impart the truth. Perpetuation in the Body is achieved through the Eucharistic Sacrifice which not only is the core of our unity at New Rochelle, but will be our source of unity and strength whatever our place in the world. S CHRIST, the Head of the Mystical Body was conceived by the Holy Ghost in the womb of the Virgin Mary, so, with the conception of the idea of New Rochelle in the mind of our foundress, we were placed under the protection of Our Lady of New Rochelle, our mother. T HAS BEEN SAID that all great men leave a shadow on earth. If this is true, then the shadow of Mother Irene Gill is found in the College of New Ro- chelle. And yet, it is not merely a shadow as we know it or envision it, lying over Brescia, Maura, Science and the other buildings on campus, for these are merely the shells which encase the spirit of our foundress. The sha- dow is the spirit of love and charity which is C.N.R.’s to give. For, Mother Irene’s spirit is with us today as she would wish it to be. And Mother Irene — she too is with us. For as she once said: “You are my children. I love and pray for you.” The foundress of New Rochelle was born in Gal- way, Ireland, but came to America as a child of eight years, entering the Ursuline convent at East Morrisania when she was eighteen. Her first assignment was as a teacher in Saint Teresa’s school on Henry Street in New York City, where she later became superior. She sought a better location for the school eventually moving it to Park Avenue. But satisfaction was not yet hers, and so she ventured to Westchester County via trolley car and found herself in the thriving village of New Rochelle which boasted a population of eight thousand. Here Mother saw an estate recently gutted by fire, and in the ruins, the soft spoken Ursuline saw a castle. Teddy Roosevelt was President; the Gibson girl was the rage. The name Wright had become familiar to all America with the launching of the first airplane at Kittyhawk. Edison had perfected the phonograph. Women did not have the vote and New York State did not have a Catholic college for women. The latter fact concerned Mother Irene for her ideals embraced the higher education of women. Already over five thousand girls have profitted from the realization of her ideals. Guided by her spirit, they have found in New Rochelle the opportunity for the achievement of their noblest goals and, as a result, have reached maturity. Thus, the fruition of years of work may be seen in each graduate of the college who bears the mark of the education fostered by this untiring woman who labored for Christ. The graduate of New Rochelle in fulfillment of Mother Irene’s pledge is “a woman of culture, of efficiency, and of power, a woman capable of upholding the noblest ideals of the home and of the Church and possessed of the training that shall make her an efficient worker in society and in the professional world.” But even more important, she is a woman of charity, a woman imbued with the spirit of Mother Irene Gill, be- loved foundress and devoted mother. Honored Guests. Jubilee celebration A jubilee is meant to be celebrated. On the weekend of October 10, the College, with the help of the seniors, wel- comed dignitaries, distinguished educators and alumnae from all parts of the nation to participate in ceremonies designed to formally honor the occasion. In impressive formation, all proceeded to the chapel for the celebration of Solemn Pontifical Mass. Climax of activities was the con- vocation itself- — the address by Rev. Robert J. Gannon, S.J., and the acclaim paid to eight alumnae who, in the center of campus, surrounded by the familiar buildings of “gothic gray” received citations and Jubilee medals, trib- utes to their outstanding services to the Church, the com- munity, and the college.

Dorothea, Ph.D., Mother M. Paula, A.M., and Mother M. Scholastica, A.B. HE ADMINISTRATION of the College has been placed under the loving care and capable authority of Mother Dorothea, President; Mother Mary Peter, Dean; Mother Paula, Registrar; Mother Scholastica, Treasurer; and Mother Jean Marie, Administrative Assistant. Under their selfless leadership New Rochelle has progressed toward academic perfection. i Mother M. Clotilde-Angela, A.B., Mother St. George, PhD., M. Irene Wightwick, Ph.D., and Mother M. Berenice, Ph. D. M OTHER St. George, Director of Students; Mother M. Berenice, Director of Public Relations; M. Irene Wightwick, Director of Vocational Guidance and Mother M. Clotilde-Angela, Secretary to the Board of Admissions have made our student vocation a 1 fruitful one and have placed us on the right path to the future. 58 Reverend John J. Quinn, A. B., Chaplain. B ELOVED CHAPLAIN and teacher, Lather Quinn has made patent the signs of the Risen Christ in our ever changing world, and has made us aware of the true prayer-life of the Mystical Body. 59 Mother Marie Therdse, A.M., Reverend Thomas J . Darby, Ph.D., and Reverend Thomas Moriarty, A.M. HEOLOGY The New Rochelle senior shares a greater realization of the inexhaustible mystery of “the Way, the Truth and the Life.” The Way of God-become-Man taught by Mother Therese formed the core of our freshman year. As sophomores we were guided to the Truth of the Divine Redemption by Fathers Darby and Moriarty and prepared for Mother Celeste’s presentation of the Life of Christ in His Mystical Body. Finally, with Father Quinn we approach the individual and social aspects of the sacraments and the way of spiritual per- fection. 60 HILOSOPHY Aristotelian Logic was basic to our study of the History of Philosophy in Mother Judith’s and Mr. Bannan’s classes. The “joie de vivre” of junior year was sombered by St. Thomas’ Metaphysics brought to us through Mr. Wilson’s outlines. Mr. Scully offers the college senior an insight into the rational na- ture of man and speculatively practical knowledge of how she ought to live. Joseph G. Scully, A.M. John Clyde Wilson, A.M., and John F. Ba nan, Ph.D, 61 Mother M. Margaret, Ph.D. PEECH Frequent reference by Mother Margaret to Aristotle’s definition of the orator as “the good man speaking well” punctuates the fine points of oratory attained in Public Speak- ing. Mother Winifred’s keen interest in the role of the Speech Teacher is felt by her stu- dents; and Dr. Vergara’s professional charm dominates her senior Theatre and Play Pro- duction classes. Aliys Dwyer V ergara, Ph.D. 62 English Mothers Mary Robert, Marie Louise and Mary Madeleine quicken a sense for literary appreciation while Mother Thomas Aquinas and Dr. Lawless spice Shakespeare with twentieth century flavor. Mother Grace’s Literature of the Western World is well com- plemented by Miss Mooney’s Major Amer- ican Writers and Dr. Baldwin’s English Literature of the Sixteenth Century. Mother M. Grace, Ph.D. Ralph F. Baldwin, Ph.D., Margaret Mooney, A.M., Joseph Cunneen, A.M., and Anne E. Lawless, Ph.D. 63 Ernest Thorne Thompson; Arnold Thurm, A.M.; Mother M. Basil, A.B.; Mother M. Justin, A.B.; and Florence M. Thompson. With no exterior hint of continual inner seethings, the art building is the haunt of art lovers on campus and the home of inspirations and dreams. Mother Justin’s history and Mother Basil’s introductory courses give the major an expansive knowledge of her field. Mr. Thurm specializes in Theory of Design and Mr. Daly’s Camera Craft proves that creative talent is needed though a mechanism and solutions accomplish the finished product. Mr. Thompson is the grand master of the art major’s world, instructing in Portrait and Water Color, and Mrs. Thompson’s course in Interior Decorating will be applied in many homes of CNR alumnae. 64 Maria Flores Becerra, A.M. Dorothy M. Hufman, A.M. |Ianguages A European flavor extends our outlook to an ever broadening world. Sparked by Senora Becerra and Mother Alban, “la estudiante de Espanol” not only converses but also thinks in the language of the country whose culture enriches her own. While across the hall in Leonard the atmosphere of Germany is im- bued in the student by Miss Hufman. To the French major Mother Alphonsus and Mrs. Misrahi offer a sound foundation for Mother St. George’s literature classes, while Dr. Vallerie’s photo collection brightens her scholarly presentation, bringing the stu- dent a clearer appreciation of her subject. •«n 4 Catherine Misrahi, A.B., and Josephine V al- lerie, Ph.D. 65 Anna T. Sheedy, LL.B., Ph.D ISTORY Doctor Sheedy launched us on our academic path as historians with a need for mental dis- cipline. From Mr. Talley came a philo- sophical perspective, the “why” of events. Mother Roberta directed study of our na- tional heritage while the history of U. S. diplomatic relations was scholarly treated by Mother Mary Peter. And, with his character- istic exuberance, Father Maher led us to ex- amine contemporary attitudes of the govern- mental role in society. 66 John E. Connolly, A.M. Economics Under Dr. Kacmarynski “production,” “dis- tribution,” and “consumption” are practi- cally related to the economics of the business world; while courses in theory, historical development and comparative economic thought are taught by Mr. Connolly. Louis F. Kacmarynski, Ph.D. S OCIOLOGY Under the tutelage of Doctor Bedard the sociology major awakens to all phases of the social welfare from case work to family life. Margaret M. Bedard, Ph.D. 67 Mother M. Ancilla, M.S., Mother M. Ursula, M.S., and Bernard Cioffari, Ph.D. ATHEMATICS and PHYSICS The mysteries of Physics, the intricacies of sound and electricity, were unwound for us under the guidance and direction of Dr. Cioffari and Mr. Hussey. From Mother Ursula and Mother M. Ancilla we have received an understanding of the principles of mathematics as one of the practical sciences. 68 IOLOGY and CHEMISTRY Electrons and neutrons, leaf structure and protozoa dominate the world of labs which is governed on campus by Dr. Rogick and Dr. McBride, who collaborate in the zoo- logical and chemical spheres, and Mother Bonaventure and Mother Aloysius, specializ- ing in Hematology and Botany. James M. McBride, Ph.D. Mother M. Berenice, Ph.D. P ■ M SYCHOLOGY Mother Berenice directs psychological tech- niques towards the Christian and social de- velopment of the child from pre-schooler to adolescent. Historical phases of psychological thought, measurement and testing are pre- sented by Mrs. Fontinell, while a fuller per- spective of the human personality and prin- ciples of psychology as related to other fields are treated by Dr. Wightwick. DUCATION M. Irene Wightwick, Ph.D. and Jacqueline M. Fontinell, A.M. With the perfection of the whole man as her goal, the New Rochelle graduate embarks on a teaching career with the excellent guidance of Mother St. John, Miss Hendrick, and Miss Shubik behind her. Mother M. St. John A.M. and Frances Hendrick, A.M. 70 USIC I From Mother Gerald we have learned to love the simplicity of 1 Gregorian Chant and the liturgy; from Mother Clotilde we have awakened a new interest in Bach, Beethoven and Mozart; from Mrs. Branagan we have found appreciation and delight in the per- ennial beauty of the Opera. Mother M. Clotilde, A.B. Alice Tobin Branagan, Mus.M., and Maria Antos, Mus.M. LASSICS Inspired by Mother M. Regis, Mother Mary and Mother M. Rose, we saw the beauty and pathos in the lines of “Antigone” and with pleasure delved into the grandeur that was Rome. Mother M . Regis, A.M. EISURE HOURS Aptly surveiling and administering our “second home,” Mother Marguerite and Miss Lukash offer wise guidance through which many students find new vistas into the literary world. Miss Morrissey and Miss LeVache, in developing our athletic prowess, selected basketball players from bridge players and guided us through tournaments and swimphonies with a zest which heightened class spirit. Kathleen LeV ache, A.B. and Anne Marie Morrissey, B.S. !7 Is I II p ERPETUATION in the Body is achieved through the Eucharistic Sacrifice which not only is the core of our unity at New Rochelle, but will be our source of unity and strength whatever our place in the world. 77 Our chosen leaders: Joan Herald, Treasurer; Nancy Dunn, President; Betty Shalloe, Vice ■ President and Joanne Hall , Secretary.

NOTHER ' INVESTITURE ' . . . 84 N THE MYSTICAL BODY, we are one with Christ. We are uniquely a part of His whole life, sharing personally in the history of His Mystical Body, the living Church, which has been sustained all these centuries by the Holy Spirit. Thus, we lived with Christ. We hung on the Cross with Him. With Him, we rose from the dead. And when He ascended into heaven, we ascended with Him. But our share in Christ’s life did not terminate at the redemption, the culmination of history, for, one with the members of His Mystical Body, we were a t Olivet to receive Christ’s promise to send His Spirit, and realized that He was truly with us even to the con- summation of the world. And so He is. The Church has always triumphed. As the years went by, we saw Stephen stoned, but lived to see Saul converted and, as Paul, evangelize the Gentiles; we saw martyr after martyr bravely testify to the faith during the terrible period of the Roman Empire, but for every one slain thousands came into the fold. Boniface carried the faith to Germany; Augustine, to England; Cyril and Methodius, to the Balkans, until that same Roman Empire which had sought to quench the flame of Christian ardor became the protector of the Church. We were there in the ninth century to witness Charle- magne crowned king in temporal matters, while the Pope, Christ’s vicar, reigned supreme in the spiritual order. From our vantage point behind the scenes, we lived through the Middle Ages when men’s minds and spirits were directed upward by the massive Gothic cathedrals, by the masterful prose of Aquinas and Bonaventure, and the inspired poetry of Dante. Sadly, in the sixteenth century we watched men, softened by the spirit of the world, blindly seek reform by abandoning the faith. Uncomprehendingly, in this century and the last we heard men say that we were behind the times, we who have lived under every form of government the world has ever known and have watched every modern idea become unmodern. Yet we trust in the inevitable triumph of the Church. For in the Mystical Body we have celebrated the nineteen-hundredth anniversary of the earthly death of our Redeemer but are no older in spirit, no weaker in strength. Although we are now being persecuted in Russia and her satellites and shall be crucified as we were on Calvary, we have no fear of death. For what is more consoling than the assurance of Christ that each of us who remains one with Him, along with all the old and the new members of the Mystical Body who will be present once the Church has grown to its full stature, shall be taken body and soul into heaven as His Bride to enjoy eternal life with our Spouse! •a 4 85 KATHLEEN MARY A R BUCKLE Quincy, Massachusetts PSYCHOLOGY “Doing easily what others find difficult is talent.

Fifty years have elapsed since the first nine students stepped from their horses and buggies to meet Mother Irene on the steps of Simeon Leland’s old castle- — fifty years since study hours were uninterrupted by telephone calls and, a lively discussion of the latest silent film at the nickelodeon or an open debate on the regulation requiring that hairnets be worn on campus could be heard issuing from an open room. Forty years have passed since Gibson girls, arriving at the recently named College of New Rochelle with Chidwick its new gym- nasium and classroom building, were startled by the sinking of the Titanic and, true to the slogan “under the gown, the khaki,” learned first aid and listened anxiously to their crystal sets for news of international disarmament plans since women, too, could vote now. It is thirty years since flappers invaded the peaceful campus which by 1931 included Maura, Brescia, Chapel, Science, the Post, and the Sports Building and boasted of over two hundred freshmen despite the crippling crash of ’29. As long ago as the year of our birth, girls on campus read Tatler’s interview of Amelia Earhart, the editorial on the conflict over Man- churia, and the review of Eugene O’Neill’s latest play, Mourning Becomes Electra. Ten years of history have occurred since CNR girls raised over 15,000 dollars to buy a PT 19 in the War Bond Drive. Fifty years is a long time and world events pass quickly; styles and interests change. But, throughout the years the spirit of New Rochelle remains the same and constitutes an ever deepening bond between all students past and present. For despite the fact that our numbers have increased over a hundred fold and the facilities and prestige of the college are continually growing, our purpose in being at New Rochelle is that of the first nine students — the acquisition of a liberal education for our formation as mature, completely formed Christian women. On campus, the whir of activities has always been directed towards that end, centering around Student Government, Sodality, Quarterly, Alpha Alpha, Props, De- bate and the Language Clubs, all of which are almost synonymous with the founding of the college. Our primary source of unity and strength continues to be the unchanging Sacrifice of the Mass offered daily today just as it was those first days in the Castle Chapel. Aca- demically, we have all profitted from lectures and field trips; articulately, we have questioned the value of extra curricular activities and wondered “after college, what?” To every New Rochelle girl the words ville, which had once conjured up visions of some picturesque hamlet, city, and post are univocal terms. But, perhaps the real explanation of our unity of spirit lies in the traditions by which we are bound. Differ as the typical American girl might with the successive er£g, a junior sister at CNR always meant the same. The Colonial Dance, the big apple and the dirndl skirt could become passe, but the spirit of the Senior Tea and the 149 informal dances and the meaning behind the caps and gowns from the nigj t of Investiture could not. The sense of unity with the past felt on Founder’s Day, the innsr peace of the annual retreat, the uncapturable warmth of the Christmas dinner, the exaltation of ring ceremony, and the satisfaction experienced upon gaining the senior stairs — all are memories we share with one another.

However, we have endeavored to make it appeal to all: to our alumnae who may see herein a reincarnation of their own college days; to the student body who are to follow in our footsteps; to our friends that we may be with them in some idle hour; to our teachers who have been our constant inspiration and guides, but especially to our families that they may have a written and pictorial record of what they have made possible.
