Visible from afar as it rises from the college buildings on the heights of Morningside, it is a sign, a symbol, a sentinel. Even more, it is the point of vantage whence are viewed happenings on the campus. Events dear to the heart of the under¬ graduate, hallowed in the memory of the alumna, take place in its shadow. And the tower, graciously green, suggestive of hope, looks out beyond col¬ lege walls upon clustered sky-scrapers, shining rivers, and haze-wrapped palisades. Perhaps this newly-born namesake of Manhattanville’s old, familiar tower is unworthy of its title. The Tower, however, has the optimism of youth. It reaches upward toward the sky, yet it has no hope of grasping the fragile texture of the heavens. It has tried to symbolize the spirit of Manhattanville, to guard the traditions of the Sacred Heart. It has recorded a few of the many scenes witnessed by the copper tower, and it leaves them with a gesture of regret that these precious memories have not been given more worthy expression.

The sowers wrought with earnest thought Nor knew the fruit their toil had brought; ’Mid hopes and fears they sowed in tears, We reap the increase of the years, We reap the increase of the years. From long ago the ground, we know, Made ready for the corn to grow; The cold was strong, the waiting long, Now all the ways are full of song. For thorn and tare and desert bare A gracious harvest ripens there. From harvesting our sheaves we bring; In exultation reaping, sing. Through row on row of grapes aglow Exultingly the gleaners go; And all around the world is crowned And every brow with coolness bound. The soul’s proud wine leaps forth divine Where clustered hopes benignant shine. We richly pour from out our store The wine of gladness o’er and o’er, The wine of gladness o’er and o’er. The vines that are from Canaan far O’ershone by earth’s one Orient Star Now grow with ours in childhood bowers Where we have found the early flowers. From every time and every clime We reap the harvest of their prime. From harvesting our sheaves we bring, In exultation reaping, sing. From trees that cast their shadows vast. Rock-rooted in the silent past: From those that spring, new-blossoming, Where birds of other years may sing, Our eager thought the fruit has brought. The blossom for our garland sought; And some there seem with gold agleam, Like trophies from the land of dream, Like trophies from the land of dream. From row on row that gleam and glow Exultingly the reapers go. Before Thy shrine, 0 Heart Divine, We lay the treasures that are Thine; Thy manifold rich gift we hold Will turn all grayness into gold. To Thee, Our King, our sheaves we bring, In exultation reaping, sing. Page eighteen In Exultcitione Metens pXISTORY is not so much an affair of facts and dates as of spirit. The history of a college is the history of its spirit: of its appreciations, its aspirations, its traditions and its ideals, even more than of its achievements. The spirit of Manhattanville is perhaps best expressed in its motto, “In exultatione metens.” It tells not merely of reaping, but of an added intense joy, the joy of fruition, which, since it is active, is greater than that of expectancy. It is this joy in the realization of continuity with a glorious past which characterizes Manhattanville, as it characterizes every school and college of the Sacred Heart throughout the world. There is a family likeness among them all; yet, because this like¬ ness comes from within, from the informing spirit rather than from any exterior imitation, it gives the effect, not of uniformity, but of a kinship which is without detriment to individuality. So it is that Manhattanville, though reaping the benefits of associa¬ tions with a splendid past, has a pronounced individuality of its own. This individuality is in a sense the result of these associations, for they give a special mark that is distinctive. The very site of the Academy, established at Man¬ hattanville in 1847, is of historic interest, for it is said that Washington directed the battle of Harlem Heights from a rock on the grounds. As far back as 1848, Manhattanville felt, though in a happy way, the effects of the storm that was sweeping Europe; several Religious expelled from Italy during the Revolutions continued here the educational task that had been interrupted in their own country. So too did many French Religious at a later date. But Manhattanville had a closer relation with Europe than that which came through accidents of persecution. Mother Barat, the foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart, had understood and adapted the best of the existing educational systems in the old world, and had bequeathed to her daughters the tradition of a deep and true culture. It was this tradition, made up of the best in the thought, the ideals, and the experience of the past, that was received in time by Manhattanville. And it was such a living thing that the college was formed precisely to preserve the continuity of this heritage. For with the years came new needs that could be satisfied only by a college. The motto of the Academy, Noblesse Oblige, was fulfilled in the expansion of the Academy into the college. The old gave place graciously to the new. It was new, yet the old had not been entirely given up. The great embracing spirit that inspires the whole was still there, was still the actuating principle, but something new had been formed. The college, with the same spirit and traditions, was something quite distinct from the Academy. It satisfied new problems and new requirements. The need for a college had been felt for some time. By a happy coincidence, when Cardinal Farley expressed a desire that one be established, there were already some students who had returned after graduating to continue their studies. In accordance with the Cardinal’s wish a Board of Trustees met on December 8, 1916, and drew up an application to the University of the State of New York for a charter. As it was found that the students were already doing college work, the provisional charter was granted the following March and the first commencement exercises were Page nineteen held in June, 1918, Miss Madeleine Brassil and Miss Claire Smith receiving their B.A. degree. It seemed especially fitting that the Cardinal, who had taken such an interest in its beginnings, should have given the first degrees, the first fruit of the college he had so earnestly desired. His successor, Cardinal Hayes, has shown the same devoted interest, and graciously presides at our yearly Commencements. Not only to our two Cardinals has the college been indebted for interest and encouragement, but to a long list of loyal friends, the example of whose devoted service is kept as a precious ideal to be followed. Among these friends should surely be mentioned the first trustees: Rt. Rev. William J. Guinan, the Rev. John J. Wynne, S. J., Mr. Thomas Woodlock, and Mr. Walter George Smith. A great debt is due especially to Father Wynne, a most loyal and devoted friend who aided and encour¬ aged the establishment of the college and has never spared himself in giving advice and assistance at all times. Without the interest and work, of these and many other friends the college could not be what it is today. In the ten years of its existence, the College of the Sacred Heart has grown rapidly; there have been students from every state, and even from China, Japan, Cuba and Peru. But, with the succeeding years, has come something greater than mere increase in numbers, a deeper appreciation of the spirit which formed and still inspires the college. Though the spirit is the living principle of continuity, there are many external things on which this spirit depends for its continued vitality and its outward expression. Persons and events have their influence in intensifying this spirit and forming it into a definite tradition. During the war Manhattanville was not wanting in patriotic service. Two French students were registered at the request of the French government and funds were raised in a war campaign. Among the great war heroes who were guests were: Cardinal Mercier; Marshal Foch; Mgr. Baudrillard, Rector of the Institute of Paris, a well-known Academician; Mgr. Julien, the Bishop of Arras and the Abbe Flynn. Other distinguished guests were: Archbishop Hanna of San Francisco, the Cardinal Archbishop of Munich, Bishop Dunn, Mgr. Pietro Fumasoni- Biondi, the papal delegate, and Mgr. Liston, Bishop of Auckland. With special reverence the college cherishes the memory of a brief visit from Mgr. Cieplak, who had defied the Bolshevik government and suffered everything but actual martyrdom in defense of the church. Perhaps chief among the great events was the canonization of the beloved foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart, Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat. In May, 1925, a large group of students left for Rome to be present at the great ceremony. And the following November four days were given up to celebrating the glorious event. In any record of Manhattanville, two names must be recalled with special love and gratitude: those of Mother Brownson and Mother McLaughlin. To Mother Brownson, the first dean, the college owes its lofty intellectual ideals and high scholastic standing. And to Mother McLaughlin, the first warden, it owes its deep spirit of loyalty and the sense of real comradeship, which binds its students together. This is but a brief summary of the events of the ten years of the existence of Manhattanville as a college. The facts of history, however, are important only as they manifest the growth and development of a spirit, and find in this spirit their explanation and their principle of unity. “In exultatione metens”—in this motto the ten years of aspiration and achievement reach back to a splendid past and on to a hopeful future. The traditions of old Manhattanville are ours to reap, and so exultingly we gather in the harvest of the years. Mary Ruth Keefe, ’28.

TJTOW can we do justice to Regina’s merits? The fact that she is the first girl -‘Mn the annals of the college to have been President of her class for four years, speaks for itself. To satisfy so exacting a class as ours in so exceedingly trying an office and to satisfy it absolutely and on every occasion, is a feat requiring the most consummate tact, unfailing patience, untiring energy, unerring judgment, a knowledge of “mob psychology” and a keen sense of humor. These things Regina possesses as well as executive ability that amounts to positive genius. Regina lives up to her name—she is queenly in her actions, in her bearing, in her speech; ever fulfilling our ideal of a college president. Her activities are not confined to presidential duties but embrace literary work, debating and the Editorship of The Tower. Not only in extra-curricular activities has she excelled: she has consistently maintained the highest scholastic standing. She has united our class and kept it united in spirit and interest for four years. May the lasting love and loyalty and gratitude of the Class of ’28 be a proof to Regina of our appreciation of what she has meant to us. Her influence will be a living thing in Manhattanville long after she has left. May The Tower be a testimonial to her achievements and her powers. Page twenty-three Jane Catherine Berrigan, E. de M. Convent of Sacred Heart, Manhattanville The smile that is essential she. B AY , in and day out, rain or shine, Jane has entered our gates, shared our classes, and become such a familiar figure that to us she is part of Manhattanville itself. Quiet and unobtrusive, hers is nevertheless a dear presence among us. All who have known her will remember gratefully the warm friendliness of her even temper¬ ament. It is proof enough of her loyalty and faithfulness that after eight years of attendance at the Academy, when it was discontinued she did not leave Manhattan¬ ville, but stayed with us four years more. Jane deserves well of the future when she will reap the fruit of her labors, and we who love her wish that it may be a golden harvest. Page twenty-four Mary Frances Burke, E. de M.

Because she knows the wisdom of mixing her fun and her work, she excels in both. Her ability to enjoy the little absurdities of College life is equalled by the zest with which she meets the more important, if less generally appreciated, things. It is not because of her literary talents, however, that we love her. We love her because of her “sunniness of mind.” She is a friend whom we know we may trust to sympathize with us in our troubles and to increase our joys by the pleasure with which she enters into them. Page twenty-five Ursula Ephrem Convery, E. de M. Ursuline Academy, New York City JF ONE were judging only by appearances, one would never suspect Ursula of being a mathematician, for her look is that of a dreamer, a poet. Nevertheless, mathe¬ matics is one of her special gifts. The most formidable problems in calculus never daunt her, and the ease with which she untangles the intricacies of analytic geometry is the envy of minds less keen. However, Ursula’s appearance is not really deceiving, for with her aptitude for mathematics she combines an aesthetic appreciation of the beauty of music, the expression of which in her piano playing has given us pleasure on many occasions. Though Ursula has always been a day-student and therefore we have not known her as well as we should have liked, she has given us ample proof of her kindness, thoughtfulness and loyalty. Page twenly-six Elizabeth Lodge Dolle, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Clifton Advertising Manager of The Tower, ’28; Dramatic Association, ’28; Glee Club, ’25, ’26; Chairman Bridge Committee, ’28. jP RIENDLY, cheerful, and capable are the three adjectives which epitomize Elizabeth. To those who have known her for years, the friendliness needs no explanation, and upper and underclassmen can testify as to her cheerfulness, even during examination week. As chairman of the Gymnasium Fund Bridge, she evinced her capable, business-like qualities, and to her is due great credit for the wonderful success of the affair. When our new gymnasium is built, we shall remember grate¬ fully that Elizabeth was the first to help make it a possibility.

She is gay, yet not without seriousness, and though she indulges in ardent enthusiasms, she has discriminating taste. Perhaps the most delightful thing about her is her sense of humor; it never fails, it never palls, and in the most tragic circumstances it may be depended on. A glance at her activities informs one that she has dramatic gifts. Besides having directed with marked success a number of our plays, she has demonstrated her own histrionic ability, especially in her unforgettable interpretation of the part of Sir Lucius O’Trigger in The Rivals. But of all Harriet’s gifts, perhaps the rarest is the most infectious laugh in the world. Page twenty-eight Mary Guerrieri, E. de M.

She has held the record for the number of subjects carried, but has ever found time for the sense and nonsense of others less busily employed. Whether it was a question of arranging the chairs for a class entertainment or of saving goals as star full-back on our class hockey team, Mary has always been the one we relied on to do the less spectacular but really important thing. Above all, her unselfishness has won our hearts. Page twenty-nine Margaret Mary Hahn, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Rochester Debating Club, ’28; Dramatic Association, ’28; Glee Club, ’25; Luncheon Committee, ’26. J |’ARGARET seldom touches earth. She prefers to soar into a world of her imagination which is wonderfully fascinating, and into which we would give much to be able to follow her. She has a great love for beauty and a gift for finding it in unexpected places. Margaret delights in the soft melody of the Italian tongue, through which Dante speaks to her and finds her an eager listener. It is characteristic of her that she should be forever losing things or forgetting them, but this has only made her the more lovable, and we shall not soon forget the charm of the girl who so loved Conrad and who herself had “heard the sound of a nameless sea on an unremembered isle.” Page thirty Blanche Agnes Hemmert, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Lawrence Avenue, Detroit Glee Club, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; President, ’28; Choir, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Sewing Club, ’26, ’27, ’28; Varsity Basketball Squad, ’25, ’26; Class Basketball Team, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Class Hockey Team, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28. j LANCHE is perhaps the only one among us who besides being musically inclined is musically gifted. She is largely responsible, as President of the Glee Club, for its great success this year, and no small share of the praise accorded the choir was earned by Blanche’s lovely voice. But her accomplishments are not confined to music, for as a member of both our hockey and basketball teams, she has always helped to uphold the honor of the class in the field of athletics. Besides we feel that we can depend on Blanche to be cheerful, considerate and generous at all times. Page thirty-one Alice Regina Holland, E. de M. Holy Rosary High School, Pittsburgh Glee Club, ’25, ’26; Sewing Club, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28. N EQUAL mixture of good humor and sensible, soft melancholy .” Some philosophers look at life and laugh. Alice is one of these. Our enthusiastic outbursts and our ponderous conclusions are equally likely to be met by her short, unobtrusive laugh or her quiet smile, for she has a dry sense of the ridiculous. She can utter a commonplace phrase in a way so humorously blunt, that, in the minds of her friends, it becomes an epigram. Alice’s placidity and her collection of neat, detailed notes are the envy of all of us. She loves solitude, but because we all find her so delightful a companion, she is not allowed to enjoy much of it. Page thirty-two Rosemary Hoppe, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Clifton and Kenwood Editorial Staff of The Essay, ’28; Editorial Staff of The Tower, ’28; Debating Club, ’27, ’28; Public Debate, ’27; Dramatic Association, ’28; Thumb Tack Club, ’28; Luncheon Committee, ’26; Banquet Committee, ’27. qpHOUGH we have been assured that East is East and West is West, and of the consequences thereof, still in Rosemary Hoppe the twain seem to have met. Such things as rodeos, misty mountain lakes and open prairies, we inevitably associate with Rosemary because of her love for all they represent. At the same time, how¬ ever, there is about her a fastidiousness, a charming poise, a res traint, suggestive of the Old World. In a gifted class, Rosemary’s artistic and literary gifts are out¬ standing, and her hospitality is truly delightful. None of us who have known her will ever forget those famous gatherings in her room of evenings, with Hawaiian music, heated discussions and Rosemary’s inimitable puns. Page thirty-three Carolyn Gertrude Hourigan, E. de M. Wilkes-Barre High School Dramatic Association, ’28; Spanish Play, ’28; Glee Club, ’25. TARLIGHT in calm wells; lavender silk with rare old silver; a rich organ chord: one thinks of these things in connection with Carolyn, for she has moods. She is not unpleasantly moody, but she often seems to drift into a far-off dream world and live apart from her surroundings. She possesses a rare charm of winning the hearts of all who meet her, and this magnetism is no doubt due to the sweet strain of seriousness that is mingled with her lovable appreciation of the humorous, and to her deep understanding of the feelings of others. Page thirty-four Mary Ruth Keefe, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Elmhurst Editor-in-Chief of The Essay, ’28; Editorial Staff of The Tower, ’28; Debating Club, ’27, ’28; Vice-president, ’28; Secretary of Manhattanville Missionary Association, ’28; French Club, ’28; Glee Club, ’25, ’26; Class Play, ’25, ’26; Class Hockey Team, ’27, ’28. (T OOL, serene, poised, Mary has an abiding sense of humor which saves her from all extremes, from cynicism as well as from sentimentality. Her unerring good taste makes her opinions of books, of plays, and of people eagerly sought and always valued. Her literary achievements have been recognized by her appointment to the position of Editor-in-chief of The Essay. We think of Mary as having about her something of the classical, a certain repose suggestive of Greek sculpture. Page thirty-five Jane Lynn, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Rochester Treasurer of Classical Club, ’28; Dramatic Association, ’28; Varsity Scorekeeper, ’28; Class Hockey Team, ’26, ’27, ’28; Class Basketball Team, ’26, ’27, ’28. “He scatters enjoyment who can enjoy much.” J ANE’S unfailing sense of humor has dispelled many a threatened storm. Her comments on all the incidents of college life are inimitable and always apropos. They never fail to please us nor do we ever tire of them, for Jane’s wit is sustained by an imagination, astonishing in its energy, its variety and its originality, though this was not fully revealed until she delighted us in our Junior Year with those wholly charming short stories of child life. But there are deeper reasons for Jane’s very special hold on our affections, among which are her prompt understanding, her unfailing sympathy and her absolute loyalty to her friends, to her college, and to her ideals.

She is forever building perfectly ravishing castles in the air, or more specifically, in the very spot where we should love to build one ourselves, but unlike most of us she is usually able to live in her castles. Lonnie’s special interest is in art. Her skilful modeling and drawing have roused our admiration, and she has enlivened many a dull hour with her clever sketches and delightful marginal cartoons. She is an interesting person to know. Mirthful, full of surprises, talented, lovable, she holds a sure place in the affections of all of us. Page thirty-seven Annette Marie de Marmon, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Maplehurst Editorial staff of The Tower, ’28; President of Manhattanville Missionary Association, ’28; Classical Club, ’28; Dramatic Association, ’28; French Play, ’25, ’26; Class Play, ’25, ’26; Debtaing Club, ’27, ’28; French Club, ’27, ’28; Class Hockey Team, ’25, ’26; Luncheon Committee, ’26; Banquet Committee, ’27; Tea Dance Committee, ’26, ’27; Bridge Committee, ’28. ONE can talk with Annette for five minutes without feeling cheered and invigorated, so contagious is her sparkling, buoyant optimism. She is vivacious, delightfully naive, charming in manner, and possessed of a large measure of idealism. Besides, she can on occasion descend to the handling of practical affairs, as she has proved by so successfully filling the difficult position of the President of the Mis¬ sionary Society. Annette’s faith in her friends is absolute, as is theirs in her. She so thoroughly enjoys life, that we all enjoy it more for having known her. Page thirty-eight Kathleen McGoldrick, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Madison Avenue, New York City College Play, ’26; Class Hockey Team, ’28; Bridge Committee, ’28. “A dog-rose blushing by a brook Ain’t modester nor sweeter.” npHOUGH Kathleen did not become a resident student until our Senior year, we had learned long before that to expect a great deal of her. For when a girl comes all the way from Long Island every day without fail, for three years, you can be quite sure she is a person who can be relied on. Since we have known Kathleen more intimately we have found this to be indeed the case. Blessed with a sunny and even disposition, always considerate, always charming and gracious in manner, Kathleen has never failed to rise to the occasion, no matter what we have asked of her. To her very real genius for mathematics is perhaps due the successful handling of the complicated finances of the Senior Bridge. Page thirty-nine Frances Clark McParlan, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Kenwood LTHOUGH Frances has never lived in the college, we feel qualified after four years of daily companionship with her to pronounce her a very loyal and dependable member of our class. She has an interesting and philosophic view of life, and her opinions are always well thought out and worthy of consideration. The longer one knows Frances, the more one realizes how many-sided she is. She possesses a great appreciation and deep love of books. In fact this is so charac¬ teristic of Frances that we almost always think of her engrossed in reading. There is about her a suggestion of calmness and tranquillity, indicative of the judicious balance of her character. Page forty Helena Winifred Odiorne, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Manhattanville Dramatic Association, ’28; Spanish Club, ’28; Sewing Club, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Sacris¬ tan, ’25, ’26; Assistant Librarian, ’27; Class Hockey Team, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Clasa Basketball Team, ’28; Official Announcer Field Day, ’27. r JpO EVERY one of the numerous activities in which Helena has taken a part, she has brought the right spirit of devotedness and a sense of values. Gracious with everyone but with firm convictions of her own, she has endeared herself to all of us, Helena has conclusively demonstrated that “the best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft a-gley,” both as a very efficient and c onscientious Proctor, and as our official 2 ixLvOevs. In the latter capacity she has so convinced us of her business acumen that we are quite confident that all the schemes she herself has laid for the future will yield her success a hundred-fold. Page forty-one Natalie Marie Paisley, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Rochester Editorial Staff of The Tower, ’28; Debating Club, ’28; Dramatic Association, ’28; Class Hockey Team, ’25; Class Basketball Team, ’27; Bridge Committee, ’28. 7”H0 could ever forget Natalie of the sparkling eyes and rapid-fire speech, Natalie who rouses our enthusiasm when we are downcast, and cures us when we are ill? For she is the class doctor, and it is to her that we confidently bring all our bruises and aches and sprains. Natalie is systematic in everything she does, and though we tease her about the memoranda she is forever writing, we must admit they produce very good results, for she is never behind with her work, nor late for an appointment. We admire her for these things, and we love her for the sincerity and generosity which are her most characteristic traits. Page forty-two Elizabeth Stafford von Phul, E. de M.

JF BETTY could sing, her list of talents would be complete, for she can do almost everything else. She is as distinguished on the hockey-field as in the class-room, and is Business Manager “par excellence” of every college organization, besides representing her class on almost all the Committees that have been in charge of our social activities. She is so renowned for her good judgment that asking Betty to solve our difficulties has become a habit, and she never fails us. But we love her not so much for what she can do as for what she is—for her utterly original, delightful self, for the winning charm of a personality that makes a vivid and indelible impression on whatever it touches.

' Jpo THINK of Helen is to think of her smiling; it is hard to picture her in any other way. And her merry laugh and appreciative chuckle are always whole¬ hearted and genuine as is all else about her. Helen is never satisfied with half¬ measures. She never neglects work for play. Her aims are definite and well- considered and she usually achieves them. The infectiousness of her unfailing good spirits, the intelligence and sound commonsense ever present beneath her jaunty exterior, her determination and her ready sympathy—these are a few of the many things that make Helen so likable.

ARY JO has a faculty for succeeding in her undertakings without becoming over¬ worked, which, as all will agree, is invaluable at College. Her course has never been stormy; she has refrained from burning midnight oil, but nevertheless, she has succeeded. We who know her feel sure that what has been true of Mary Jo’s college career will be true throughout her life; without apparent effort or hurry she will accomplish her purpose. For such a fortunate person, the future can hold no terrors, and we wish her well, knowing that our wishes will come true. In Mary Jo, unswerving loyalty to her friends is combined with childlike sincerity and charm. She has a place in our hearts and we could not have done without her.

JMAGINE someone whose very essence is contradiction, and you begin to have some idea of Margaret Sandke. Who would expect a slim, blonde, surprisingly dark-eyed person with a suggestion of sophistication about her, to be an expert at sewing or cooking? Yet Margaret presides at meetings of the Sewing Club, and concocts delectable chocolate sundaes without the least difficulty. Though the most practical among us on occasions when practicality is necessary, the things she writes and the poetry she loves are full of wistful, haunting dreaminess. No one else pos¬ sesses so strangely charming a mixture of sparkle and melancholy, fervor and non¬ chalance, cherub and imp. She has an artist’s love for beauty, and once she forms an opinion, a superb indifference as to whether others agree with her. Because of all these things, we have taken Margaret to our hearts.

Visitation Academy and Packer Collegiate; Institute, Brooklyn Dramatic Association, ’28; Sewing Club, ’27, ’28; Field Day Official, ’27; Class Hockey Team, ’27, ’28; Class Basketball Team, ’28. gINCE Marea joined us in our Junior Year, we have become increasingly conscious of what we missed in the two years that she was at Packer. For Marea seems to fill a definite and necessary place; she can make a fourth at bridge, answer our difficulties in philosophy or “sew a fine seam,” and in our Senior year, has revealed a hitherto latent genius for hockey. Marea’s modesty, together with her unselfish¬ ness and unfailing sweetness of disposition have endeared her to us, and have made us hope that the end of college will not be the end of our friendship.

JN HER quiet way, Gertrude has gradually won a warm place for herself in the affections of her classmates. She has proved that her silence is the silence of deep thought, and shown herself true to her work, to her word and to her friends, yet never above sharing in their nonsense. We feel safe in leaving it to her for the present to uphold the honor of our class in the orchestra, and in the future we feel assured that the rhythm and beauty of her nature will express itself in the rhythm and beauty of her music and her poetry.

J-JELEN has what Shakespeare calls an excellent thing in woman, “a voice ever soft, gentle, and low”; and with the qualities one would expect to accompany her voice, she combines a vivid imagination, a discerning intellect, and a merry laugh. She can turn her hands to many things of importance and achieve note¬ worthy results, yet what we associate most with her, is the quaint and inexhaustible humor with which she imitates, impersonates and gives us story after story, enriching each with her own telling of it. Our class is very grateful for the gentle versatility and sweet generosity of little Miss Smith.

HE “golden mean” is a phrase which Aisy prefers to omit from her vocabulary, And so four years ago when she plunged into athletics, she immediately began a series of triumphs in hockey and basketball. These have become, in her senior year, victories for Manhattanville. The intensity with which she enters into work and play alike is balanced by her keen sense of humor. That the scope of Aisy’s activities has been wide indeed is evident to anyone who will glance at the list that heads this page; and her interests have been as deep as they are wide. The number of offices involving responsibilities and requiring leadership, which she has so suc¬ cessfully filled, proved how worthy Aisy is of trust and of admiration. % Page fifty Camilla Agnes Sutter, E. de M.

JpHE keynote of Camilla’s character is unselfishness. It is what makes her so wonderfully sympathetic, and always so ready to listen patiently to a recital of our woes and to give us comfort and very welcome advice. And then, as one would expect, she is always tactful, never at a loss for just the fitting word or gracious act at just the right moment. Although Camilla’s interests are many, including as they do music, Latin, art and timekeeping at both hockey and basketball games, she always manages to give the proper amount of attention to each, doing well and whole¬ heartedly whatever she does.

JQOKOTHY can do so many things well that it is difficult to say what accomplish¬ ment is most characteristic. In plays, she can take any part well, whether it be of a “bon bourgeois” or of a Carmelite. She plays both basketball and hockey in a way that brings credit to her class. But perhaps it is for her poetry that we shall remember Dorothy most. Ever since that first song that she wrote in our Freshman year, which we sang when our class was only a few weeks old, all that she has written has won our admiration. With Dorothy we must always connect her greatest love, the sea, and to us it seems that it has lent to her character something of its own strength, its beauty and its peace.

JARY ELIZABETH is one of our more important Seniors, for she fulfills two ' offices which relate to our happiness. She is President of the Dramatic Associa¬ tion, and discharges her duties competently and with great success, as we who have attended the delightful plays and performances this year can testify. Her own dramatic ability was well demonstrated when she gave us the charming portrayal of the Queen of Hearts one memorable afternoon. Mary Elizabeth also holds the position of Senior Hostess, which postulates great tact and patience. She has never turned a deaf ear on our requests, and in this as in other ways, she has won our affections.

Page sixty-nine Student (Government Regina Twibill Clark President of the Student Government Association and President of the Senior Class Student Government Student Government was begun at Manhattanville as a practical prepa¬ ration for the future life of the students. Reverend Mother Burnett, as President of the College, and Mother Brownson, as Dean, decided that it would serve as a step for the undergraduates to their independence in the world. The success of the experiment is in great part due to the Warden, Mother McLaughlin, whose guidance and vision made its development pos¬ sible. Because she fostered the Association, its growth has been as rapid as it has been sound. To her, as well pis to the successive Presidents who have moulded and formed it, Student Government will be a lasting testimonial. Its spirit reflects the close union which has existed between Religious and student since the Society of the Sacred Heart was founded by Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat. And this spirit of loyalty to Manhattanville and to the traditions of the Sacred Heart has been fired anew with each increase in the power of the Association; for added zeal on the part of the students is the natural result of added confidence on the part of the Faculty. Page seventy-two It was in the year 1919-1920 that the Student Government Association was born at Manhattanville. It consisted of an advisory board of coun¬ cillors composed of Seniors presided over by the Senior Class President who was, by virtue of that fact, President of the Student Body. In the following year a more developed form of government was intro¬ duced. The former council of Seniors was succeeded by a representative council consisting of the President of the Senior Class and of the Student Body and the Presidents of the three other classes. These had executive, as well as representative, power. A Constitution was drawn up which dele¬ gated some of the governing power of the Warden to the Representative Stu¬ dent Council. Proctors, chosen from each class, were present at those meet¬ ings of the Council in which there was discussion regarding the enforcing of student regulations. Another point of progress was in the independent conducting of the weekly Student Government Meeting which, attended by every student, was presided over by the President of the Student Govern¬ ment Association. This weekly assembly has done much toward making the government a lasting one, for it has brought about the unity necessary for the practical application of the ideals of State Government. The fact that these new rights involve new duties has been reiterated by each succeeding President; and the repetition has served to bind into closer union the ever-increasing number of college students. The consequent spirit of united loyalty to the established government made inevitable the even more complete form of Student Government which was inaugurated in February, 1925. This has continued because it has proved itself a successful government. It has been conducted with the co¬ operation and the interest of the Faculty, and with the active and loyal sup¬ port of the entire Student Body. Whereas the Representative Council con¬ tinues to be formed of the four Class Presidents, voted for by their respective classes at the semester elections, the Student Council has been increased by the honorary membership of the Seniors. The Council, as a whole, had always been responsible for the support, in a very special way, of all the rules of the College, but they had administered and enforced only those rules pertaining to the Silent Hours. Now the Council of the Presidents became the legislative and executive body to amend or to enforce all the laws contained in the Constitution. The Seniors, as honorary members, were made responsible for the enforcement of laws affecting the students while outside the Campus limits. These are some of the most important features of the new form of government which went into effect at Manhattanville in 1925. Since that Page seventy-three Evelyn Hastrup President of the Junior Class Anne Stoepel President of the Sophomore Class Ruth Hassett President of the Freshman Class time the added burden of responsibility on a great number of students has resulted in more eager loyalty and more enthusiastic co-operation on the part of all the members of the Student Body. Dur¬ ing the past four years many minor amendments have been made to the Constitution. No change has gone into effect without the advice and consent of the Warden, however; for the guidance and judgment of Mother McLaughlin, and of Mother Benziger, who has succeeded her, have been warmly welcomed and highly valued by the Stu¬ dent Government Association. Increased power and responsibility have brought to the students the realization of their own inexperience. As in the beginning of the College, so after ten years, Student Government has bound together more closely the Faculty and the Student Body. The spirit of confidence in the students, which has always been characteristic of the Society of the Sacred Heart, continues to characterize the Col¬ lege of the Sacred Heart. To this trust there has been the response of serious understanding of the duties and obligations of government. If the expe¬ rience in dealing with other students has brought self-confidence, it has also brought appreciation of the wider knowledge and the superior judgment of those who are members of the Faculty of the Col¬ lege. Perhaps this reverence for authority and for those in authority is the most important result of Student Government. Certainly it, alone, is a jus¬ tification of the experiment at Manhattanville. And it is adequate proof that Student Government, like the College itself, has filled a need of our time.

The college year has been rich in spiritual opportunities, beginning with the Mass of the Holy Ghost and the beautiful sermon of Rev. F. A. Fadden. During the Forty Hours’ Devotion in November the numerous offerings of vigil lights and flowers and, above all, the Prie-Dieu list bore witness to a generous fervour. The students were greatly impressed by a sermon preached on the eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception by Rev. Father Hoey, C.S.P., on the influence of women. The Missionary Society also has had its share in advancing the higher life of the students, all of whom are members. The Junior and Senior classes attended an important meeting of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith at Cathedral College under the direction of Rev. Father McDonnell; again on December second in the Church of the Annunciation they were present at a Mission Mass, at which His Eminence occupied the throne. The program of the Missionary Society during the first term included Catechism classes and talks on the Missions at various schools besides visits to hospitals and Homes. At Christmas time baskets of food were dis¬ tributed to poor families. The extensive work done through this Society both for the propagation of the Faith and for Social Service is made possible by the enthusiastic cooperation of the students who give much of their spare time to the cause. A close inspection of the Signing-Out Book would show that by no means all the outward-bound are on pleasure bent. Special lectures hold a prominent place in the events of the year. Three on Current Events by the Professor of History threw light on world-wide affairs. “Orthodox and Heretic in Modern Literature” was the subject of a lecture by Mr. Louis Wetmore in early October. Toward the end of the month we made, in spirit, a Franciscan Tour of the Holy Land with Mrs. Montgomery. In November Mr. Stanley James, the English novelist, talked on “The Apostolate of the Pen.” Mr. Michael Williams, editor of the Commonweal, entertained us one night with a talk on Rome. In the course of the term three lectures were given by the Reverend Dunstan Dobbins, O.S.F.C. of Oxford, on “Women at Oxford,” “St. Francis as an Educationalist,” and “The Medieval Friars.” We had “An Evening with Shake¬ speare” by Mr. Harry Irvine. The students of Spanish had the benefit of a lecture on “La Psicologia del Amor” by Monsignor Yanes, from Argentina. The Dramatic Association distinguished itself in two productions: “The Young Alexander,” given on Reverend Mother’s Holiday, and “The Knave of Hearts,” on our Mother General’s. In December a Spanish play, “La Alcaidesa de Pastrana,” which dealt with an incident in the life of St. Teresa, gave the audience an altogether unprecedented pleasure—that of being present at a Carmelite recreation! Mr. Milton Page seventy-seven McGovern spoke on the modern drama to the Senior Class and the Dramatic Associ¬ ation one night in February. Each class gave at least one entertainment during the season. Soon after College reopened in September the Seniors introduced the Freshmen at a Bonfire Supper followed by a dance in the Radio Room. On Hallowe’en a party in the gymnasium was given by the Seniors with the aid of spooks and spirits. The Juniors gave an entertainment in honor of the Freshmen early in October—supper served in the Gouter Room preceded a Bridge. At the close of Freshman Week, in order to mitigate somewhat the tortures sustained by their sister class, the Juniors gave a tea for the Freshmen. In February a dinner followed by a theatre party was given by the Juniors in honor of St. Valentine’s Day. A few days before the Sophomores had given an excellent variety show with impersonations, song selections and the like. The Freshmen began to do their share by their sportsmanlike reaction to a mild initiation at the hands of the Sophomores; later they gave an entertainment with many good numbers. Two important social functions of the season were the Bridge Parties under the auspices of the Senior Class, to which “outsiders” were invited. The first was held in November for the new Gymnasium fund, and the presence of many alumnae pro¬ claimed their interest in the project. The second was on Shrove Tuesday—it was the annual Bridge for Reverend Mother’s Mission purse. A concert by Mr. Horodyski, at the piano, assisted by Dr. Heinroth, cellist, drew great applause on the occasion of Reverend Mother’s Holiday; another musical event was an organ recital given in Pius X Hall by the organist of the Augusteum in Rome, Fernando Germani, to which the Glee Club and the Choir were invited. In addition to these formal gatherings there were others en famille. The House- Warming in the early part of the year was a characteristic family affair, as was also the little soiree which attended the opening of the redecorated Radio Room, when “home art” came to the fore. The organization of the Dressmaking Class and of the Monday night Sewing Circle also afforded an opportunity for informal contacts. The field of Athletics, to date, has been signally marked by Victory’s favor. The red and white pennant has been held high by the Varsity squads both in Hockey and Basketball. In games with neighboring colleges Manhattanville has almost invariably come out victor. The inter-class games, launched so auspiciously by a victory of the Seniors over the Freshmen, were interrupted by a snowfall, and con¬ tinuous inclement weather prevented further progress. The Hockey Dinner in the latter part of November practically closed the Hockey season. The Basketball Season was ushered in with the New Year and the team since then has tasted the sweets of many triumphs. Their success augurs well for the future. With this program behind them, the students are confident that the spring season will be accompanied by events of equal interest. Dorothy Van Vleck, ’28. Page seventy-eight Mary Burke, Treasurer Margaret Lovett Sandke, Head of the Service Club Mary Keefe, Secretary Annette de Marmon, President The Manhattanville College Missionary Association ' V ’HEN the College was founded, in 1917, the United States had been at war for some time. In common with the whole nation, Manhattanville felt a strong desire to serve its country actively. The vast needs of the world at such a time called for prompt response, and war-work drives were organized. The desire to render personal assistance was satisfied by the formation of the Service Club. This gave its members the opportunity of earning money for the general fund by performing such services as running errands, tutoring, and mending. The zeal which made this club so great a success did not die with the conclusion of the war. Rather, it was turned to the service of the Church in her unceasing warfare against ignorance and poverty. Page seventy-nine After the cessation of war, the attention of the College was directed towards the Missions at home and abroad. Seniors and Juniors devoted themselves to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and to the needs of Missionaries in foreign fields; while the Barat Settlement House, supported by the Alumnae of the Sacred Heart of New York City, supplied an immediate outlet for the zeal of the whole College. It is the custom of Manhattanville to send some of the students each week to teach Christian Doctrine to the children cared for at the Barat Settlement. But this alone did not suffice. With its growth, wider fields of endeavor were opened to the College. So many things demanded attention that an organization became a necessity. In 1921 the formation of the Manhattanville Missionary Association was undertaken under the guidance of Mother McLaughlin. The wise provisions made for the election of officers, the collection of dues, and other practical details are still a working part of the constitution. Though it has not ceased to grow, the Missionary Association now has a wider scope than was originally planned. From the first members of the College it inherited energy and good-will. When the support of the French war orphans was taken over by hands better suited to the task, it left the College freer to provide for so many more Chinese babies. The desire of Manhattanville is to respond promptly to the appeals of charity, a desire which finds gratification in the making of dresses for poor children, in visits to the aged, the crippled, and the blind, and in the preparation of Christmas baskets. At the monthly meetings of the Association, letters of thanks from all parts of the world are sometimes read, and the College is acquainted with the work accom¬ plished and the use of its funds. The Service Club, as part of the Association, also makes its report; this club has been retained not only because of what it accomplishes, but because it expresses so completely the spirit of voluntaiy and personal service which the Association wishes to encourage in every one of its members.

Two factors w ere instrumental in its formation. In connection with their Politics Class the Seniors of 1927 held several debates and felt a very great interest in them. Consequently, when Reverend Mother Vicar, on her visit to Manhattanville, expressed a wish to hear a debate, the Seniors were glad to be able to fulfill her wish. The debate at which Rev. Mother Vicar was present aroused the interest of the students. This general interest resulted in the formation of the Debating Club. Its con¬ stitution, drafted by Marian Meyer, ’27, provides for meetings every two weeks, at which there are both informal discussions and formal debates. As the object of the club is practice in public speaking, it offers many opportunities to develop that ability. The policy of the club is to select topics of current interest, such as American Intervention in Nicaragua, a Presidential Third Term, and the Fascisti Regime in Italy,. The work of this year culminated in two public debates. The first took place in December. The subject was: Resolved: that the United States should enter the World Court, with the Harding reservations. The speakers for the affirmative were Alice Sullivan, Mary Burke, and Marion Moore; for the negative, Helen Smith, Margaret Mary Boland, and Gertrude Skelly. The decision was in favor of the affirmative.

The proceeds were for the benefit of the war drive. Since then, all dramatic activities have been enthusiastically encouraged. However, until 1927 there was no organized association to support the actors. A committee of four, con¬ sisting of one representative from each class, staged and conducted all plays. Each year one large performance and several smaller ones were undertaken. Of these, four or five were class plays. As often as possible, the Committee produced plays written by the students themselves. Marie O’Shaughnessy, Frances Fuller, Catherine Burns, Edna Welch have been among the successful playwrights. Since its organization, the Dramatic Association has produced The Young Alexander and The Knave of Hearts. Both have shown the ability of the new asso¬ ciation. In cooperation with the Association the advanced French Classes have given several classical French plays. The Class of ’28 have been prominent in these plays. Annette de Marmon, Helen Smith, and Betty von Phul, as Marianne, Elise, and Valere in L’Avare; Regina Clark and Alice Ruth Sullivan as Charlemagne and Gerald in La Fille de Roland ; Dorothy Van Vleck as Chrysale in Les Femmes Savantes have all given proof of the dramatic ability of their class. This year, the Spanish Classes, with the help of the Dramatic Association, pro¬ duced La Alcaidesa de Pastrana. The Thumb Tack Club ' jpHE Thumb Tack Club plans the scenery and costumes of the plays, manages the lighting of the stage, and decorates the auditorium. It is responsible for the posters announcing all the College activities. But the Thumb Tack Club also has activities entirely its own. It is the art club of Manhattanville, and all those studying art are eligible as associate members. The purpose of the Club is to foster an appreciation of art in the College. It does this by posting announcements of all the exhibitions of note in the city, and by conducting exhibitions of home talent.

Therefore the Glee Club was organized formally in 1926, and placed under the management of a committee. The Pius X School of Liturgical Music has always secured the best directors for the Glee Club. This year, it has been fortunate in obtaining the services of Madame Irene Rabke. The Orchestra jj ECAUSE of its connection with the Pius X School of Liturgical Music, the College fell heir to an already well-equipped orchestra. Under the leadership of Mr. Theodore Heinroth, the orchestra offers a valuable training to those who form a part of it. The canonization of Madeleine Sophie Barat gave both Orchestra and Glee Club an opportunity of showing what they could achieve. To commemorate this event. Mother Brownson wrote the words of a cantata, and Mr. Theodore Heinroth composed the music. The House of Wisdom, because of its real beauty and worth, brought out the best in everyone who shared in its production. It tells the story of Saint Madeleine Sophie and of her growth in sanctity; it interprets her desire to teach, to bring the world to “old ideals, beautiful and sane”; and it explains her purpose, tracing its origin and end to her love of God. Mr. Heinroth’s music, with its choruses, perfectly frames the narrative part of the cantata, spoken by Saint Madeleine Sophie. Taken as a whole it is a fitting tribute to the great Saint, and a true expression of her ideals. It concludes, as she would have wished: In all His works we bless the Lord And magnify His Holy Name; His works are all exceeding good His benefits our praises claim; His blessings like a river flow. And as a flood His graces pour; 0! magnify His holy Name Who liveth now and evermore.

II limite ses membres aux Seniors et aux Juniors qui ont eu au moins deux annees d’ “Advanced French”. Le cercle se reunit deux fois par semaine pour discuter des questions d’interet general; a l’aide de ces discussions, les membres se familiarisent avec les expressions et tournures de phrases absolument frangaises. Comme couronnement du Semestre, le cercle invite la Faculte a entendre une serie de courtes Conferences dans lesquelles les Etudiantes donnent une idee des sujets abordes et des progres effectues. Page eighty-eight AtfyWUcs Lucille O’Malley Mary Hill Sally O’Byrne Alice McLaughlin Elizabeth von Phul, Manager Alice Sullivan, President The Athletic Association students in the College are members, are directed by a committee of six, consisting of two representatives of the Senior Class, two of the Junior Class, one of the Sophomore Class, and one of the Freshman Class. Upon the ability and energy of this committee depends much of the extraordinary success with which college activities have met since the organization of the Association. Each year intercollegiate games are played in basketball and in hockey. During the last four years, the victories have far out-numbered the defeats. In fact, the basketball team has won all but four games; and the hockey team has an unbroken record of success. In 1921, Martha Adams presented the College with a cup to be awarded annually by the vote of the entire Athletic Association to the girl who accomplishes most for College athletics during the year. Last May, encouraged by the success in basketball and in hockey, the committee organized an interclass track meet for the morning of Field Day. In the afternoon, as usual, it supervised the playing of the finals of the Tennis Tournament. Last autumn, hoping to ensure improvement in athletics for the future, the com¬ mittee began a drive for a gymnasium fund. The first donation was received from the Senior Class. This year also saw the completion of the fifth victorious hockey season. The basketball team, though not as sucessful as the hockey team, made a very good record for itself. It won nine out of ten games. Page ninety Margaret Sefton Ena Casey Genevieve Brislin Mary Hill Elizabeth Hoppe Katherine J.

Mrs. George H. Bradford, President of the Association, made a delight¬ ful speech of welcome to the Alumnae. A musical programme, arranged by Miss Anna L. Mulgrew, followed. It included: Troyer’s “Invocation to the Sun-God”; Lourormand’s “Quelle Souffranee”; “Homing” by Teresa Del Riego; and “Vissi D’Arte, Vissi D’Amore,” from Tosca. Miss Dorothy McDonough, a former pupil of Commonwealth Avenue, and Mrs. John Roland Lewis, of Maplehurst, were applauded warmly. Miss Irene Martin, the Toastmaster, read a charming paper, and introduced Miss Agnes Repplier, a former pupil of Eden Hall. Miss Repplier had not been speaking in public for three years; and so the Alumnae were singularly privileged in having the distinguished essayist address them. Miss Repplier discussed with sparkling humor the so-called disillusionment of disgruntled youth. She pointed out many causes for optimism in the post-war reconstruction of different nations. Mrs. Gerald Borden, from Maryville, whose address had been scheduled to follow, excused herself on the plea that any words would seem inadequate after Miss Repplier’s. Before Mrs. Bradford’s last words of farewell to the Alumnae she announced that since this year was the tenth anniversary of the foundation of the College of the Sacred Heart at Manhattanville, the Association desired to commemorate it. She presented a silver box to Miss Regina Twibill Clark, President of the College and of the Senior Class. On behalf of the College Miss Clark expressed appreciation for the kindness of the Alumnae which had prompted this gift, and for the interest and cooperation of the Association which had helped make possible the attainment by Manhattanville of its ten years as a College. Some of the guests of honor of the Alumnae were: Miss Anna L. Mulgrew, Chairman of Music, M.A.A.; Miss Regina Clark, President of the Senior Class and of the Student Government Association, College of Sacred Heart, Manhattanville, 1927-28; Miss Mary Ruth Ke efe, Editor of “The Essay”; Mrs. Joseph A.

The format and appointments must be planned with a skill acquired by experience. We maintain a special department for this particular class of work—The responsibility is not divided as is usually the case—The Record being planned and produced entirely by our Craftsmen, beginning with the manufacture of the photo-engravings and continuing with the composition, printing and binding, until delivery of the finished product.
