Based on the noble resolve which Is tlie directing force at the college, the glimpses in this year ' s book accu- rately portray the Holy Names women as they seek to attain a full spir- itual, educational and social development. We find the students enriching their lives with the benefits to be gained from a Catholic educational cen- ter, drinking deeply of culture to become embued with it themselves and to share it with others. The cause they carry forward stands as a challenge. To adequately meet it, the first endeavor is to know God, to draw close to Him In Mass, communion and visits to the chapel; then to gain command of a particu- lar field and to develop special aptitudes. Accordingly, it is with this background that the graduates of 1942, as those of other years, carry on to make God known. ' ■ ' ¥1 ..TTS .! ;: ' .wVV Al Snowfall Along the Spokane River .... Academy, College, Orphanage J ' I ' ♦■mr Dorm Balcony Residence Hall a eMu Zax:elUHC4f In acknowledgment of his kindly, far-sighted and coura- geous spiritual leadership, the students of Holy Names College gratefully dedicate the 1942 Annual to His Excel- lency, the Most Reverend Charles D. White, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Spokane. It is, indeed, appropriate that mention of his work be made in this year ' s volume, for His Excellency exemplifies, precisely, the spirit of its theme. No one has labored more earnestly to make God known. For fifteen years, since 1927, the people of the diocese have been under his care. During that time he has been to them what his patron, St. Charles Borromeo, was to the people of Milan 400 years ago. As St. Charles re-estab- lished religion in the hearts of the faithful, so has Bishop White firmly implanted the seeds of faith in the hearts of Catholic youth. So fervent has been his endeavor that it has won him the title, champion of the young. Few have proved more inspiring in founding and promoting youthful efforts and organizations. Centers for training Catholic youth sprang up rapidly under His Excellency ' s guidance. In Spokane alone, the year 1928 saw the erecting of the St. Anthony and Sacred Heart Schools. Added to these, from 1938-1942 were Marycliff High School, Holy Names college building and St. Aloysius School. Thus it is, that the young women of Holy Names, with the rest of the Catholic youth, bear hearts filled with grati- tude toward the beloved shepherd who tenderly watches the flock, sparing no pains that he might make God known.

' ' ' w!t ' J ft I: rmcrr r B IF r PT ff-ftrfT fr ' : Distinctively and traditionally a part ot Holy Names is the ideal, to make God known. Since the year 1843 when Mother Rose Durocher of St. Antoine, Quebec, found the Society of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, this one aim has been advanced. From Longueil on the St. Lawrence, schools spread throughout the province of Quebec. In 1859. twelve sisters left New York on an old steamer bound for the Oregon frontier. Amidst untold hardships they erected schools through the Pacific territory to become part of the pioneer educators of the West. Today, they are noted in many sections of the globe, from California to Florida and Manitoba; Basutoland, South Africa, and Japan. The dauntless courage of these women who labor, first, to acquire personal holiness and, then, to educate, is the inspiring force of our col- lege. The love of God from which it springs is im- parted to the students. Thus, we find that, like their teachers, before seeking to make Him known, they seek to know God. . . . n • ' ' • ' • m CMP[L The Chattel .... simfyle, modernistic, in Philippine wood panelling.

Of Inestimable value to each student ' s life Is the study of philosophy. A knowledge of true principles gives a proper perspective to daily pursuits. Judgment matures; reasoning be- comes stable after courses in theology, logic, epistemology, ethics, and ontology under the Rev. John Dunne, S.J., of Gonzaga Univer- sity (top circle). Qatftim ' uUal For personal use and office work, typing and shorthand are popular requests. Beginning and advanced typing classes and a basic course In shorthand dictation and transcrip- tion present an opportunity to acquire both skills. Few are unmindful of the advantage of these electlves. A i Always an activity center is the art depart- ment, where, throughout the day, girls may be found busily sculptoring, sketching, or oil painting. Every freshman procures a knowl- edge of art principles in the art structure course. Upon approval, those with aptitude may enter advanced classes of drawing or painting. Lillian Lael. art major Kan icape painting- 044Anciiii4n The press room attracts a large group; pro- ficiency in journalism Is much sought-after. Principles in journalism, newspaper in society, editorial writings are pursued for solid ground- work in the profession. Journalists take an ac- tive part in publishing the college paper and yearbook under the direction of Miss Cecilia Brandl, journalism instructor (top circle). Melodious strains of the piano, violin, cello, and wood-winds identify the college music de- partment. Membership in the choral ensemble and orchestra is open to all while musicians may receive both major and minor in their field. A concert performance and cadet teaching are opportunities welcomed by ad- vanced students. Participation in dramatics contributes greatly toward personal development. Zestfully un- dertaken by dramatics club members and speech minors, acting is thoroughly enjoyed. Preliminary training is given in speech and dramatics courses taught by Miss Cecilia Brandl, dramatics instructor.

High ideals and stand- ards maintained turn out candidates that are a credit to the field. Given first an orientation course to assist her in selecting a definite phase of teach- ing as determined by her special apti- tudes, as well as to provide her with a true philosophy of life and education, the student may proceed to specialized instruction. ,(.c Us - Hi lult CO.M (lellfloH. Religion brings students to the Source of truth, ridding them of the bewilderment which bothers the incredulous. Particularly designed for underclassmen is Philosophy of Re- ligion which explains the fundamental tenets of Christianity, the relation of God and man, and the wider implications of the Catholic moral standard.  ,.X)nly with the adviser ' s approval Is the student allowed to major in English; -S journalism or speech can be allied with this major. The three give a splendid cultural background which includes a command of world literature embrac- ing a knowledge of the essay, drama, poetry, fiction of various countries.

Full preliminary training is given them at Holy Names In courses of introductory and rural sociology, child welfare, and the fam- ily, social origins, Catholic action, and the social theory. As well as a major in sociology, one in History-political science is available in this field. Its courses give thorough grounding in Americap and world history, Washington State government, municipal and state gov- ernment, and international relations. Contributions in fundamentals come, too, through the study of geography, where en- vironmental conditions are examined and the relationship between the geographic conditions and historical development traced. Well-adapted for the pre-professional train- ing of laboratory technicians, nurses, and dieticians are the science courses. All give a firm foundation for advanced work. Ma- jors may be obtained in biology or zoology; studies followed In physics. Chemistry spe- cialties range from Inorganic to organic chemistry, qualitative and quantitative analysis. k I Social Science means map work or Evelyn Nyberg. ■ .

After class, enthusiasts gather at French club meetings, demonstrating the fruits of their association with a dramatic production each year. A typical scene at the college Is a stu- dent on library duty. Training in library science Is given each person In her fresh- man year. It entails actual service at the desk, checking In and charging out books. The skills and techniques of archery, swim- ming, golf, tennis, horseback riding, and other sports may be acquired in physical education. A major or minor may be ob- tained by students working for a Bachelor of Arts in Education. Marjorie Cash does French research. Those adept in mathematics find ade- quate preparation in the field. Valuable for teachers Is the methods course in In- structing elementary and junior high arith- metic.

To the group of graduates who, this year, will set forth from Holy Names, the warmest wishes for success and continued prayers for progress in every venture are ex- tended .... Faced at the begin- ning of their careers with a world conflict in which freedom is the stake, the graduates of ' 42 are launched into an era bleak with promises for future happiness .... But they go forward with daunt- less courage, fortified by their friendship with Him in Whom lies the answer to peace. Aware that spreading this answer is not only an important but difficult mission, the seniors carry on the torch de- Jl n MARY AGNES McCABE Pagi ivxnly-one With English Literature as her ma- jor, sodality prefect, Marguerite, is the ideal educator, combining beauty and a talent for imparting the three R ' s.

The perfect hostess, charming and gra- cious, she has, nevertheless, a sur- prisingly zany touch. Calmly and serenely has she met the most try- ing ordeals as student body prexy. Mary Agnes plays the piano for relaxation, reads biography for in- tellectual stimulation, entertains soldiers (for fun), and has social service, preferably In Minneapolis, for her aspiration.

Kay likes to read, es- pecially historical novels, dances for hours without losing her zest, and skates with the enthusiasm of a Northlander. Her favorite music for listening — Viennese Waltzes, but almost any classic or semi-clas- sic wins approval. Procrastination over correspondence, Kay cheer- fully admits, is her most glaring fault.

To all within listening distance, Betty airs her pet aversion — short men. Rose, her favorite hue, pre- dominates In her wardrobe. In keeping with an ethereal quality she possesses, goes her love for slow, dreamy music, especially that of Strauss. A connoisseur of mem- ory-linked tidbits, she is able to produce scrapbooks bulging with dance programs and favors from every affair attended. Dancing is Betty ' s main pastime, but tennis and hiking figure prominently among the activities zealously pur- sued.

A lovely smile and luminous brown eyes belong to Elnor. Sweet and considerate, she can cook a cher- ry pie or any other dainty, for her tastes are much inclined toward the domestic. Her chief distaste is for fried shrimp. Elnor holds the year ' s record for the greatest num- ber of gardenias received. In color preference, she inclines toward red; and in music, achieves per- fect contentment from Shubert. Elnor likes to read biography and announces energetically that her burning desire is to teach in Ha- waii at some future date.

Even though she is preoccupied with the duties of managing a home, her loyalty and attention to the college remain unwavering. Few have met difficulties as brave- ly as she and as staunchly carried on. Her preference Is to teach children of the lower grades. Co- operation is her forte and sincer- ity her endearing virtue. Inga Gave her best to activities aiding her development as teacher. Joined us the last year, impressing everyone with her pluck and perseverance. Unperturbed by the eat to live dilemma, Bev flatly states that she lives to eat and particularly likes midnight snacks! She claims clothes her weakness and her pet peeve overdressed people. Gray and blue are the colors in which she usually appears. Listening to None But the Lonely Heart is her spare time delight. A mania for scrapbooks, she has four filled with pictures, cfippings, and souve- nirs.

From a spec- tator angle, football and hockey cannot be outmatched. Jo ' s ulti- mate ambition is to pass on her knowledge of the intricacies of of- fice procedure to high school stu- dents, and her dream of dreams Is to board a passing train and hie off to the green plains of Mesa Verde. •Jo Sodality (1-2-3-4); Camaraderie (3-4); Red Cross Detachment (4). ; J : v;:,iXv-- ' i . f- ' . , ._ y •« i-,1w«v - ' -.

Freshmen and upperclass teams battled furiously for honors in the intramural bas- ketball tournament. Undefeated through- out the season, the Junior-Senior team fin- ally outmatched the freshmen 29-24 to cap- ture the trophy in the deciding game of the series. Archers competed against other clubs of the nation in the ten-week Bluegrass Bow- man Tournament. Awards fell to Doris Mead who placed in the women ' s singles. In May, the first all-college tournament was held with the Columbia Round as the main event. To( circle: Sharpshooter Carol Ross with Lorrene Pasquan, victim {archery novelty).

From November until May, dramatists toiled amidst a busy season. The year ' s outstanding production was the December Nativity Drama which numbered seventy in its supporting cast. Twenty choral read- ers sustained and developed the theme un- folded by the three principal characters: Patricia Hartnett, Anne Gallagher, and Helen Costelio. Mary Ferrell was cast in the role of the Blessed Virgin and Marjorie Cash as St. Joseph. Interpreting the parts of angels were: Virginia Bogar, Marguerite Adams, Bette Meelcs, Marcella Gibney, Te- resa Dowd, and Allene Myers. Irene Perno, harpist; the college string orchestra and choral ensemble furnished the background music. Honadra members were on stage for their final presentation at the Mothers ' Day open house, May 9. The one-act comedy, What Are You Going To VV ' ear? drew admiring tributes. In the leading roles were Marcella Gibney as the negro maid; Mary Ferrell as Anne, a young college girl; Betty Hattenburg, a talkative, middle-aged neigh- bor: and Betty Lynn Northrop, a punctil- ious aunt. -i 9.4e44 The journalists form one of the hardest working groups in the college. The news room is con- stantly stirring with activity which reaches its zenith when the monthly deadlines for the col- lege paper arrive. Then editor Frances Nich- ols scurries for cuts and mats; Patricia Hartnett whips out ideas for Shop Chat, and Mary Alice Smead settles down to work on a music column. Reporters get under foot everywhere; typists roll out copy while the entire staff is gripped by the pressure of feverish haste. An innovation on the editorial page this year was a series of liturgical sketches drawn by stu- dents from the art department. Designs were supplied by Beatrice Simmons, Sister Paula Mary and Carol Jean McKown. From Anna Marie Hilscher came a number of editorials on symbolism. Even more intensified has been the Yearbook work. Busy making ends meet were Mary Louise Blanc, Eileen Pierce, Marguerite Adams, Bev- erly Schuster, Vivian Sinnett, Mary Agnes Mc- Cabe, and Artist Anna Marie Hilscher. Not to be overlooked in the matter of accomplish- ments is the advertising staff. Laurels go to Ad Manager, Marjorie Cash, whose zeal has in- spired both business and editorial functions. {Tot ' Introdiuinf!, Palruia Hartnett. the all-imp ' rianl .-. ifor ii the l ' U2 Annual, ,M(n;ii;i,i; irhite studying.

Resi- dent students are snugly ensconced in beautiful Durocher Hall whose wide- sweeping verandas are invitingly pleas- ant. From the green brocade paneled living room on first floor to the last well-lighted boudoir on third, the at- mosphere is one of spaciousness and quiet ease. Immediately upon entering one feels at home, and everything is done to keep that the prevailing spirit. Moments of complete relaxation are spent in the basement rumpus room. Letters from home, the joy of dorm students, bring smiles to the faces of Doris Mead and Catherine Fairhurst.

All girls occupying hall quarters automatically become members of Durocher Club. Each can be recognized by the tradi- tional gold pin delicately fashioned in the shape of a rose, embossed with the letter D, symbolizing the foundress of the Holy Names Order, Mother M. Rose Durocher, after whom the Hall was named. House affairs are directed by the club through the offices of president, executive council, telephon e committee, and scrapbook committee. Social gatherings at the Dorm are memorable events. An initial all-col- lege tea sounded the note of welcome early in the fall. From then on, guests arrived regularly to join in the fun of the dessert dances held on successive weekends. Hayride parties, banquets, treasure hunts, taffy pulls, steak fries, picnics, luncheons, and knitting for the Red Cross were a part of dorm life this year. Between times, serious study- ing went on, and with a tasty bedtime snack, students were whisked into dreamland each night. and Edeer Pierce iake.

As a climax to all cerme the Cotton Ball, April 24. Dancers found the audi- torium transformed into a summer garden. A white arbor climbing with flowers, erect- ed in the center of the floor, gave passage into bowers on all sides. White picket fences, foliage, and white trellises, laden with blossoms, lined the walls and stage. Deli- cate summer formals worn by guests helped make the event unmatchable for sheer beauty.

Their year ' s social calendar was packed with amusement. Rating high on the merrymaking list was Karnlval Kapers, an informal dance sponsored in April. Murals of carnival at- tractions covered the gym walls, balloons hung from the stage, and booths dotted the sidelines. Stimulating dance rhythm was furnished by hlugh Orlard ' s orchestra.

In sports, scholastic honors and social accomplishments, the sophomores made a name for themselves. Eleanor Pontier headed the Tox Archery Club which rose to fame through its tournament competitions and monthly shoots. Picturesquely listed as supper, poker, and roving shoots, the rounds gave exceptional opportunities for im- proving skill and sharing in recreational enjoyment. When the new star on the horizon, the Monogram Club, rose to sponsor intramural sport activities, the majority of charter members were contributed from the sophomore class. Included among them were Evelyn Nyberg, Eileen Pierce, Helen Beavers, Leah Cross, and Betty Snoey. Swimmers, basketball players, archers, hail from the ranks of the sophs. Next year the class leadership will spread to all-college functions when Eileen Pierce takes over as Sodality Prefect and Mary Louise Blanc is installed as Yearbook Editor and student vice-president. Members of the group are famed for cooperation and for effectively dem- onstrating, through their sports mixer, one of the outstandingly successful dances of the year, the results that can be accomplished by staunch backing. Much credit goes to Anna Marie Weston, class president, for promo- tional ability. {Below) front row: Betty Snoey. Marie Schinzel. Rosemary Yuse, Lorrene Pasquan.
