Each volume has recalled things which we shall always associate with Manhattanville, from the yellow glow of a lantern, swinging under the dark arch of the porte-cochere, to the leaves of the tree in the Quadrangle, weaving patterns on a sunny brick wall. Each succeeding edition has defined in its own way the spirit of strength and warmth which Manhattanville embodies. But The Tower of 1931 does more than recall; it looks into the future; it is the Year Book of the new Manhattanville. The red girders, ponderously settling into place, and the slow, steady evolution of the new gymnasium are symbolic of the Manhattanville of the future. They represent the first steps in the actualization of dreams of a new library building, of a graduate school and of another residence wing. But because of the heritage of the College, her visions are linked with traditions and ideals “rock-rooted in the silent past,” by the thread of a perfect continuity. The combination of the stimulating vigor of the new with the calmness and dignity of the old is her achievement. The Tower of 1931 greets the new Manhattanville.

NICHOLAS F. BRADY WTITH the death of Mr. Nicholas F. Brady in March, 1930, the world lost a most noteworthy and generous citizen, for his enter¬ prises and his interest in charitable activities of all kinds were truly cath¬ olic. His service to his country as major in the Red Cross Commission during the war was marked by unfailing energy and resourcefulness; his benefactions to his university, Yale, and to many civic and Catholic activ¬ ities, showed his appreciation of present needs and anticipation of future ones. He assisted His Eminence Cardinal Hayes, in the foundation of the Catholic Charities Organization in New York. His achievements as Catholic layman won for him Knighthood in the order of St. Gregory and in the order of Malta which he established in the United States. In final recognition of his life spent in enriching the lives of others, His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, conferred upon him the dignity of the Ordine Supremo del Christo. [ T hirteen ] Manhattanville feels that with Mr. Brady’s death it has lost a valued friend. As one of its ablest trustees, he was always deeply concerned with the welfare of the college. It was he who proposed the present Class Endowment Fund, a plan which has proved highly successful. Through his generosity and constant interest in Manhattanville, Mr. Brady earned our sincere gratitude and esteem. His firm alliance with the cause of Catholic education was further shown in the establishment of the Jesuit Novitiate at Wernersville, which he made possible. Although he did not live to see its completion, it will always stand as a lasting memorial of his beneficence. There he is buried, as is most fitting, near one of the last works of his generous life. [Fifteen] IN ME MORI AM PROFESSOR EDWARD HAYNES HHHE death of Professor Haynes on February first, 1931, came as a personal sorrow, the more overwhelming on account of its suddenness, to everyone at Manhattanville. Although he was with us only two years, those who had the privilege of being members of his classes will always remember the attention and individual interest which he gave to all their scientific problems. The Physics and Chemistry laboratories show every¬ where the results of his devoted efforts; the improvements which he brought about in the apparatus, and the “shop” which he completed are evidences of his untiring services to Manhattanville. It is impossible to express in words how great a loss his death has been to the college, which will never be able to forget either his services or his personality. [. Sixteen ] [ Seventeen ] [Eighteen [Nineteen ' ] [Twenty] [ Twenty-one J THE NEW GYMNASIUM HE twenty-second of January, 1930, was the date of the definite inauguration of “New Manhattanville,” in the ceremony of breaking ground for the gymnasium, now nearing completion. As it is situated directly opposite the Assembly Hall, we have been able to watch its steady progress from the blueprint abstraction of last year, through the concrete foundation and orange framework stage of the winter to the present triumph of shining roof and graceful windows. While the ominous thud of blasting, the shriek of drills and clatter of rivets were exterior causes of excitement, within the college one of the chief topics of conversation was each new detail, as it came to our attention. We are indebted to the Benziger family for all our future oppor¬ tunities of “ludens coram Domino” as the motto over one door expresses it. Whether we are playing basketball, swimming in the pool or warming ourselves by the open fire, we shall always be more than grateful to the donors of our “New Gym.” Perhaps the following descriptive statement of Maginnis and Walsh, the noted architects, who designed the building, will give more concise reasons for our gratitude, and a detailed picture of our fondest hopes fulfilled. “The style of the building may be termed a free rendering of Lombard architecture. The arcaded windows afford a pleasing note in the otherwise plain brick wall surface, while the large windows of the southeast and northwest e levations adequately express the interior layout of the main gymnasium floor. The arcaded loggia strikes the only formal note. “The peculiar configuration of the terrain allows the placing of the large windows which afford adequate light for the swimming pool. Another advantage accruing from this difference in levels was fully taken by the architects, to provide a direct access to the lower floor under the arcaded loggia. This entrance leads to the corridor connecting the dressing room of the visiting teams and the room of the director of athletic activities. This corridor also leads to the bowling-alley and locker room and to the small gallery overlooking the swimming pool. At the other end are the [ T wenty-tzvo dressing rooms and showers. A great deal of thought has been put into the treatment of the decorative tile of the pool itself, resulting in a most attractive color scheme. “The first floor is devoted to general gymnastic activities, basketball and tennis, with rooms for the simpler pastimes of golf-practice, pool and ping-pong. A comfortable lounge with open fireplace and adjoining kitchenette is provided for the students. A balcony overlooking the ninety- by sixty-foot gymnasium is reached by means of stairs at each end of this floor. Access to the flat tile roof above the end wings of the building has been provided at each end of the gymnasium balcony; from here a splendid panorama of the campus is visible as well as of the river close by. The roof of the main building is of slate with copper finials at the four corners.” [ Twenty-three} k t 1 111 ik COLLEGE SONG On the heights so proudly standing, Strong against the blue, High her tower gleams commanding.

Convent of the Sacred Heartj Rochester r PHE role of the appealing Marguerite, in “La Merveilleuse Histoire de Bernard de Menthon,” might have been created for Marie. The infinite tact, the consideration for others and the conciliatory influence of the French heroine are at the service of everyone with whom Marie comes in contact. That she is as determined as she is obliging is shown by the miraculous length of her hair, which has survived the devastating whims of the moment, to be the admiration and envy of all beholders. We do not wonder that the saintly Bernard found it hard to leave the world, if the real Marguerite had many of the qualities of her twentieth- century impersonator.

Blessed Sacrament Academy, New York, N. Y. tf RACIOUSNESS is the quality we instinctively associate with Veronica. She possesses the enviable power of being able to sympathize with the moods of others, while never being afflicted with moods herself. She can be exuberant without being irritating, and her serenity never deserts her. Her complete self-forgetfulness makes her a perfect friend.

Y. 117 - E are sure that Helen must have been born on a Sunday. One does not have to know her long to see that the “blithe and bonny, good and gay” rhyme surely applies to her. She meets people and circumstances alike, with a constantly cheerful mood, which makes her friendships last¬ ing and her undertakings successful. As evidence of this success, we mention her ability as Advertising Manager of the 1930 “Tower.” The enduring quality of her friendship is self-evident to those who know her, as we do, for her grace, her tact and her unfailing consideration for others.

St. Catherine’s Academy, New York, N. Y. 1 ATARGARET’S unobtrusiveness has not concealed from us her fine qualities of mind and character. Her ways are “great and gracious ways.” She shows this graciousness to all by her constant readiness to help. Although her manner is reserved, it is not aloof. To those privileged with her intimacy she shows a gentle sense of humor and an even temper which is the envy of us all. Clavian Club, ’29, ’30, ’31; Spanish Club, ’31; Class Entertainment, ’28. [ Thirty-four ] EVEYLON PAULINE DUNN, E. de M. All Saints’ Academy, New York, N. Y. A MOVING-PICTURE camera would be a better means than words for making an adequate record of Eveylon. Besides her scholastic program, she is able, with the ease that is part of her business ability, to find time for numerous outside interests. We seldom see her that she is not occupied in furthering some “cause”. As Business Manager of the 1930 “Tower,” and as Treasurer of the Missionary Society, to mention special instances, she has shown remarkable energy and ability. But in spite of her many activities, she has never been too busy to stop and make friends.

H 111 ills X [Thirty-five] ALICE BARRY DWYER, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Elmhurst L AELIE is a study in enthusiasms. She is always vitally for or against every possible question, from the merits of a new play to those of the tea which follows it. She is a lover of large sentiments and delightful trivialities, of “white-plates and cups clean-gleaming,” as well as the “Brushwood Boy”; moreover, she can create such characters for herself. Only by an argumentative interest in daily existence does she achieve an arduous balance between the practical and the poetic. She will go down in college annals as President of the Debating Club, Manager of the Elockey Team, the possessor of executive and literary talents. But the elevator, the corridors and other social centers of Man- hattanville will remember her also as someone with whom everyone found it desirable to talk, to do things, or simply to be.

[ Thirty-six ' ] xMARY MATT DWYER, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Elmhurst T HERE is someone still lacking on the staff of the “New Yorker,” and that is Mary Matt. Her humorous pen and brush, inspired by a truly Gaelic imagination, make her essential to the cleverest of magazines. An ardent interest in politics, backed by the power of forceful speech developed in the Debating Club, may soon make her a front-page writer of Notes and Comments. But Matt has other qualities beside those leading to fame and fortune. These account for the crowd of visitors always to be found in the Dwyers’ room and for the incessant conversation ranging from lofty intellectual discussions to witty details of life in Providence, R. L, for anyone who has once sat on the Dwyers’ green spreads always comes back.

[Thirty-seven ' ] ALICE SUZANNE EMERY Georgetoivn Visitation Convent, Washington, D. C. A LICE is the despair of any self-respecting horoscope. For, with her, the stars came in harmonious conjunction to contribute a keen mind and an unusual personality. Those who wield a timorous pen for the Essay find her more than an Editor-in-chief. She is their balm of sympathy and encouragement. We are sure that if Lewis Carroll could see her as Alice in Wonderland, nonchalantly drinking tea with the Mad Flatter, his heart would rejoice. She sings, too—not mere corridor solos, but with a voice which has come to be relied upon in Glee Club operettas and Commence¬ ment choruses.

For that means at least a half hour which will be thoroughly enjoyed. Alary may muse of “what’s happening in Boston now,” she may argue whole-heartedly for a theory, or earnestly support a friend. Even if it is not one of her “Wait till I tell you!” days, everyone is completely content in Mary’s company, that of a gaily generous personality.

Georgetown Visitation Convent, Washington, D. C. T? VERYTHING Jane does, she does with serious dignity. ,One sees her solemnly conferring about athletics; casually serious about a thesis; gravely excusing people from gym attendance. We always associate with her a delightfully unruffled disposition, a softly-musical voice, and a way of giving to nonsensical nothings the importance of state secrets. With the earnestness of Bernhardt interpreting Camille, Jane can enact with droll absurdity the role of the Turtle in “Alice in Wonderland”.

She has a classic appreciation of the beauties of Terrence’s “Phormio.” She is the friend of every book, and especially of the musty, unremembered volume. Her sense of humor revels in queer, pedantic words; in everything, in fact, which is extraordinary. She com¬ bines with a scholarly mind the practical ability which led to her appoint¬ ment as Business Manager of the Essay.

But this is not her only occupation. In spite of the concentration which this implies, she has the enviable faculty of coming out with aston¬ ishingly high marks in all her studies.

St. Catherine’s School, Richmond, Virginia A LTHOUGLI Mildred contradicts her nickname of “Baby” by her very appearance, there are some ways in which she resembles the Vic¬ torian maiden of fiction. She is ready to scream at the sight of a mouse, to faint at the sight of blood, to become hysterical if the occasion should warrant it. But she conceals these propensities under an unusually dignified exterior, and in cap and gown she is more than sedate. Without her South¬ ern enthusiasms and sudden excitements, “Speedy Alley” will be a far less popular resort.

You must expect the unusu al from her and even then you will be surprised. She combines the attractions of the East and West, and when they meet something unexpected always happens.

Day after day, for four years, she has entered the Manhattanville gates with a copy of The New York Times under her arm. She has the true journalist’s curiosity about people and their activities.

There, with her assistance, that “must-be-tactful” letter was written, or the color difficulty of the next new dress was solved. While one wandered from her books of poetry to biography and novels, Kenny restored one’s sanity with her characteristically concise comments on “Life and Liberty.” Whatever was lacking, found its supplement in Kenny.

She combines with her Senior dignity the kind of voice and appealing smile which make Freshmen carry blackboards cheerfully to the Gymnasium for Glee Club practice. Her enthusiasm for music is so con¬ tagious that she has established a veritable agency for Opera tickets, and the Glee Club, under her conscientious management, has flourished har¬ moniously, undaunted even by the intricacies of Christmas carols, sung in many languages.

No shot is too tricky for her more subtle return, no score too high for her to overtake and then gallantly win. Her skill at “running off” tea-dances is watched with the same awe.

The members not only make voluntary contributions in the form of monthly dues, but also do active charitable work, visiting patients at Bellevue Hospital and at the House of Calvary, rolling bandages at the Knickerbocker Hospital, and teaching catechism at the Barat Settlement, the Convent of the Helpers of the Holy Souls and St. Lucy’s Church. Under the supervision of Mother Benziger, who presides at the Missionary meetings, and who has organized many of the Association’s activities, the tenth year of the Society’s existence has been most successful. _Seventy-five At Christmas, the Organization had the joy of helping the Christ Child Association to answer a few of the children’s letters to the Christ Child, asking for toys, and during the holidays some of the New York members of the Society delivered Christmas baskets to the poor, and others helped to decorate the wards in Bellevue Hospital. As this year has been one of extraordinary suffering because of the critical unemployment situation, the members of the Society have joined in the drive to give relief, by contributions of clothes and money. A special drive in March for unemployed women resulted in the addition of $285.00 to the city fund. The missionary zeal of the college has received several strong incen¬ tives during the year. Chief among them was the annual Mass of the Catholic Students’ Mission League, held on December fourth, in the Church of the Annunciation, at which His Eminence, Cardinal Hayes pre¬ sided. Our missionary interest was further stimulated by lectures given respectively by His Excellency, Bishop Schurmann von Berenbrook on conditions in his diocese, and by Father George Byrne, S.J., on the mis¬ sions in China. The Missionary Association, whosse success is insured by the active interest of every student, may be said to occupy the first place among the organizations of the college. [Seventy-six] [Seventy-seven] DEBATING CLUB ]T N September, a problem confronted the Debating Club, the solution of which, during the year, represented a decided progress in its develop¬ ment. As there were many new members, it was necessary to find how so many speakers might have an opportunity to debate. The problem was solved by having more frequent meetings, at which informal discussions alternated with formal debates. This year, too, witnessed another step toward the perfection of the club. A definite working constitution, based on the original one and includ¬ ing several necessary amendments, was drawn up. By this action, the entire procedure was clarified. The Public Debate was given on March 18th. The subject was: Re¬ solved: that the Taxi-cab industry in New York City should be a public utility. The following members were chosen, by Mr. Holmes Clare, the coach of the club : For the Affirmative: Miss Alice Dwyer, Miss Elizabeth Lavens and Miss Mary Matt Dwyer. For the Negative: Miss Nonie McGrath, Miss Barbara Duprey and Miss Margaret Martin. The alternates were Miss Anne Emily Schmidt and Miss Regina Lamb. The decision of the judges, Mother Benziger, Mother Tenney and Miss McCloskey, was in favor of the negative. Miss Martin was chosen as the best speaker. Whatever success the club has attained this year, has been due to the excellent direction of Mr. Clare, to the advice of Mother Green and Mother Coakley, and to the capable management of Alice Dwyer, the president.

Not only has the number of recruits to the fields of higher mathematics greatly increased, but the high standard of the Club has been maintained by the diligence and enthusiasm of all the members. Mother Spies, the founder of the club and faculty supervisor, has given a series of lectures on subjects of current interest in mathematical circles. Some of these lectures were, “The Slide Rule—Its Origin and Workings”; “The Fourth Dimension”; “Holland’s Contribution to Mathe¬ matics and Science”; “Developments of Mathematics in Colleges”; and finally a lecture on the work of Father Hagen, S. J. At each of the monthly meetings accounts were given of the research work done by the members. In May a dramatic skit, “Mechanics,” will be presented by the mem¬ bers of the club. The officers of the club for the year 1930-1931 are, Rita O’Shea, President, and Mary Galvin, Vice-President. um im v [Eighty-one] THE CLASSICAL CLUB A LTHOUGH Mother Edmands, the originator and inspirer of the Classical Club, is not with us at present, its members—students of advanced Greek and Latin—have tried to keep intact her spirit and her ideals.

It will be given on the thirteenth of May under the direction of Professor Daniel Woods, to whom the Classical Club wishes to express its gratitude.

L’heroi ' ne et l’energique pere du heros de la belle piece: “L’Histoire Merveilleuse de Bernard de Menthon”; la douce Vierge qui parlait du haut du Ciel; quelques-uns des pelerins, sans oublier le moine tuteur du grand Bernard, se sont retrouves dans les reunions, deux fois la semaine. Sans eclipser les cercles pre¬ cedents, chacune a montre un veritable zele pour s’exercer a bien parler le francais et avec facilite. De quelles choses n’ont-elles pas discute! Des affaires politiques; de la derniere mode; d’une piece de theatre; d’une fonction sociale. Mais une tache speciale incombait a chacune, chaque semaine. Outre la critique de certains articles de revues sur les questions actuelles, chacun des membres a lu, a tour de role, une des conferences de Louis Madelin, donnees a la Sorbonne, sur Napoleon. Elle en faisait le compte-rendu au Cercle, et les idees toutes nouvelles de l’auteur, sur un sujet inepuisable, etaient ensuite discutees. Les conferences du Cercle donnees, comme d’habitude, a la fin du semestre, devant notre Reverende Mere et les membres de la Faculte, etaient la preuve des efforts et des progres accomplis. Les questions les plus diverses furent traitees: inventions modernes, Histoire, Art, Poesie, Theatre fournirent des sujets tres interessants qui prouvaient, en meme temps, l’etendue du vocabulaire et la connaissance de la langue acquise par les Conferencieres. [Eighty-four] EL CLUB ESPANOL U N tributo de admiracion al idioma en que Cervantes, Lope, Fray Lusi de Leon, Santa Teresa y tantos otros ilustres personajes escribieron y en el que dejaron impreso su sello, es el fin de nuestro Club Espanol. Para este fin muchos y muy variados medios han sido adoptados, y de ello vaya una muestra : Lectores £os parece inverosimil una corrida de toros en esta gran ciu- dad? Veo reflejarse en vuestros ojos una sombra de incredulidad, pero no os burleis, peus sin ser taumaturgos logramos hacer el milagro. Ocurrio durante la primavera pasada. En esta estacion del ano la casa no convida, antes bien, molesta y se prefiere pasar las horas a la sombra de los arboles paseando por el hermoso parque. Esto fue lo que nos sugerio la idea de hacer una fiesta en el jardin. ;Que mejor que una corrida de toros? Mas aun, i por que no hacer tambien una verbena? Si bien la perspectiva de la labor era como para acobardar a cualquiera, con animo viril nos pusimos a la obra y el resultado compenso generosamente el esfuerzo. La plaza animada por las espanolas ponia fiesta en el corazon. Los puestos de refrescos, dulces, helados, serpentinas y confetti, en el fondo, daban una nota artlstica a la alegria, nota que alcanzo su plenitud con la entrada de los Reyes y de la un poco menos real comitiva gitana. Pero no k i ) 1%lit k [ Eighty-five ] fue todo esto; ya entre dos luces, los gitanos nos dejaron oir una de sus hermosas melodias a la que cinco gitanas bailaron graciosamente. Este ano el Club ha progresado y hemos logrado tener reuniones men- suales en las que el elemento social e iritelectual han estado acertadamente unidos. De estas la mas formal fue la que se dio con motivo del centenario de Bolivar; en esta Alice S. Emery dio una conferencia muy interesante sobre el Libertador a la que asistio la Reverenda Madre y varias personas de la Comunidad. El numero de socios ha aumentado considerablemente y ademas de las socias del College, tenemos tambien algunos socios honorarios. IL CIRCOLO ITALIANO B ENCHE il Circolo Italiano non sia stato in esistenza che un anno, non ha mancato di farsi ben conoscere. Si continuano ad avere le con- ferenze settimanali, nelle quali si discutono gli avvenimenti quotidiani. L’anno scorso fu periodo di formazione, quest’anno e’e stato progresso sen¬ sible, cosicche per la prima volta nella storia del Collegio gli “Auguri di Natale” furono offerti in una lingua altra che l’inglese. E, come disse la Reverenda Madre, non e’e altra lingua che l’italiana che possa meglio esprimere preghiere cosi belle o auguri cosi sinceri. Gli “Auguri” cominciarono nella Sala di Riunione dove il “Glee Club” canto alcuni cantici di Natale in diverse lingue, francese, tedesco, e inglese. Allora il Circolo si fece avanti. Ee ragazze erano vestite nei loro abiti accademici e portavano delle piccole lanterne, come ne porta rono certa- mente i pastori quella celebre notte. Recitarono quattro stanze della poesia “La Nativita”, scritta da Lucrezia Tornabuoni de’Medici, madre di Lo- renzo il Magnifico. Il poema invoca le alme celesti, gli Angioli, i Patriarchi, i Profeti, tutti, insomma, ad adorare il Messia. Dopo quest’invocazione, il Collegio, poi la Comunita preceduta dalla processione delle lanterne, pas- sarono alia Sala di Lettura, al suono di una pifera; pareva proprio sentire i piferari la Vigilia di Natale nelle strade di Roma. Nella Sala di Lettura si era preparato un presepio all’italiana, carino molto e artistico. Tutte ne [j Eighty-six ' ] furono incantate. Qui si fini di recitare la poesia di Lucrezia de’ Medici che e piena di un’allegrezza trionfante come nei versi: “Venitene, Profeti, ch’avete profetato, venite tutti lieti, vedete eh’egli e nato ed a noi e donato il piccolin Messia. Ecco’l Messia!” Terminata la poesia, si recitarono alcuni versi di “Amore, Amore” di Jaco- pone da Todi, autore dello “Stabat Mater,” dove dice: “Amore, amor Gesu, son giunto a porto, Gesu speranza mia Abissami in amore.” In ultimo si canto : “Dormi, non piangere, Gesu Bambino,” con la melodia composta dal maestro Yon, vecchio amico di Manhattanville. Cosi finirono gli “Auguri” del Collegio alia Comunita. La dolcezza delle parole, la purita dei sentimenti ne fecero una delle cose che non si dimen- ticano mai. Adesso si sta preparando un divertimento per isoli soci che si dara questo semestre. II Circolo Italiano estende un cordiale invito alle studenti del primo anno d’italiano di prendere parte alle sue adunanze, affinche si preparnio ad ottenere per il Circolo sempre migliori successi negli anni venturi. it 1 i i i lik [Eighty-seven THE GLEE CLUB HP HE Glee Club of 1930-1931 has become a large and prosperous organ- ization, numbering more than thirty members. Under the able direc¬ tion of Mrs. Rabke, and with the untiring assistance of Mother Stevens, we have reached a state of musical efficiency which we hope to improve still further. Our first performance was the celebration of Columbus Day with the customary patriotic songs. The December Concert was given in conjunc¬ tion with the Orchestra, the program being divided between voices and in¬ struments. For the Christmas Feast Wishes we gave a number of Nativity Hymns from different countries, followed, in the evening, by the outdoor singing of old English Carols at the door of the Quadrangle in the light of swinging lanterns. The chorus for Reverend Mother’s Feast on February 1 ith was the 150th Psalm, as arranged by Cesar Franck. A program of old Irish songs was given on St. Patrick’s Day. The Glee Club wishes to thank its President, Alice Storrs, Mrs. Rabke, the director, Mother Stevens and Mr. Heinroth, whose interest and co¬ operation have contributed in a large measure to the success of the club’s undertakings. [ Eighty-eight ] FRENCH DRAMA S OMETHING else flashed across the horizon this year which the Cercle Francais would have been glad to claim and to which the Dramatic Club looked for “pointers” in the true stage art. Of course, it is hardly necessary to name it, “Le Malade Imaginaire” of Moliere. Even those who have forsaken “Ea Belle France” and the fatal tones of “Avez-vous pris vos deux heures?” appreciated every hectic death and intrigue in that un¬ forgettable household. If we had not known the entire cast of the First Advanced French Class, their clear voices and accent would have dubbed them Paris players of many years. Argan. Beline. Angelique. Louison . Beralde.

Eighty-nine ] THUMB TACK CLUB HHE Thumb Tack Club is unique among its kind, for one needs no T special talent in order to a be a member. Neither debating ability, a fine voice, nor dramatic possibilities are among its requirements. A desire to cultivate personal taste, by appreciation of the results of it in the work of others, is all that it necessary. The meetings have been planned with the idea of increasing in the numerous members an interest in the various fine arts of life. The first meeting included a study of evening gowns, illustrating the point that modern styles are returning to an ancient Greek simplicity. The second presentation, “Art and Super-Art,” led from a study of the achievements of the Sketch Class, to illustrations of the art of 1980, when motion will be so realistically portrayed in line and color that it will deceive the most practised observer. The evening was a great success and prepared us fully for all the wonders which futuristic art may produce. At the third meeting of the Club, the same idea was further carried out. Several members volunteered as subjects for study and criticism, and were rewarded with various comments on the style of dress and hair ar¬ rangement best suited to them individually. The Club wishes to express its thanks to Mother Woollett and to the officers, whose delightful plans and original execution of them have made everyone in the College wish to have the privilege of membership. [ Ninety ] [ Ninety-one ] THE DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION S TRAINS of music, safely ascribed only to the Orient, booming gongs and tapping drums ushered in the first presentation of the Dramatic Club, an “exotic” pantomime, “The Shepherd in the Distance”. Powers, high in the state, drowsily played chess, while a shepherd, by his gay danc¬ ing, enticed a bored princess far from her sleepy garden. On the same night, fiendish melodrama stalked across the stage in A. A. Milne’s one-act enigma, “The Man in the Bowler Hat”. Under Evelyn Walker’s direction, the gallant hero was stabbed with pins; the das¬ tardly villain sneered at the lovely lady, and the bad man kept order gen¬ erally. That it was a rehearsal was revealed later, and accounted both for “The Man” and his bowler hat. A summer hotel was the scene of Booth Tarkington’s “Trysting Place”, put on by Polly Foote after Christmas. Three romances feverishly flourished; one boyish heart became cynical; a “Voice” was hoarsened by long waiting—all in the lobby of our hotel. For a background, an insane asylum; characters, maniacs and their keepers; action, a bit of mistaken madness; incidentals, a wandering axe and a “fin-footed bovopolis,” and the play was on! “Below Par”, directed and produced by Barbara Duprey, was one of our pre-Lenten festivities. A series of “interpretative impersonations” by Virginia Rooks, on the same night, clearly out-Drapered Ruth Draper. We thought her “Return of the Star to her Home Town,” perfect, until she gave “On the Subway” and we were transported in spirit to that familiar trek from Times’ Square to 137th Street. Obviously neither Ruth Draper nor Virginia Rooks need any properties, save their own personalities. This year it has been the aim of the club to give everyone an oppor¬ tunity to disclose her dramatic ability. For this reason, many one-act pro¬ ductions were given, rather than one large undertaking. However, on April 28th, an adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” will be presented.

Moreover, the inspiration and guidance of Mother Woollett, and the managing power of Christina Kreag, the president, largely account for the successful “season” of the Association. [Ninety-three THE ESSAY BOARD [Ninety-four] CLASS ENTERTAINMENTS A CCORDING to longstanding tradition, the Freshmen were royally entertained during the first few weeks of their college career. Each class endeavored to provide an entertainment which would prevent morbid brooding on the agonies of Freshman Week. The Seniors began the annual round of gaiety by giving a picnic for them, inviting the rest of the college. The Freshmen, wearing placards announcing their names, were entertained with true Eastern hospitality. Rather than hurl the harassed Freshmen into deeper depths of despair by an awesome form of entertainment, the Juniors, on October fifth, gave a hilarious bonfire party and marshmallow roast. Then came the long-anticipated Freshman Week, which the Juniors ended by giving a tea for their sister class. Knowing well the minor form of starvation that the Sophomores imposed on their victims, provisions were made in the form of a double supply of hot chocolate and English muffins. The Sophomores themselves, much impressed by the good sports¬ manship of their adversaries, changed their tactics and gave a “soiree” for the Freshmen, in which Backgammon fiends, Ping-Pong players and Bridge sharks found opportunity for displaying their talents. The Senior “spooks” terrorized the College on Hallowe’en. They not only hid in dark corners or on top of cupboards, but pounced out on un¬ suspecting, though intense “seekers of ghosts” during the weird hunt. Later these ghosts were kind enough to offer to their victims ice-cold cider and the other usual refreshments of Hallowe’en parties. After Christmas the Freshmen astounded the College with their prowess, by writing, producing and enacting a play entitled “College Life as seen by Hollywood.” With this clever and original offering, Freshmen laurels were secure. A temporary lull in such gaieties, occasioned by mid-year examina¬ tions, followed this last offering. However, the general atmosphere of seriousness was soon broken by a Valentine party given by the Juniors. The Sophomores added one more entertainment to the list, with their party on Washington’s Birthday, thus ending, for a time, Manhattanville frivolities. thletics [Ninety-six ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS HOCKEY M ANHATTANVILLE’S reputation in hockey was due in such a large measure to the Seniors of last year, that the few veterans who remained, anticipated the season with many fears. But in spite of all appre¬ hensions, the hockey team came through its games again undefeated. Last fall added the eighth victorious season to the old record. More than that, no goal was scored against Manhattanville. Rita O’Shea, captain of the 1930 team, and Ruth Hassett, right half-back, Varsity players for four years, were awarded miniature gold [Ninety-seven hockey sticks at the annual banquet.

In the evening, we made our bow to Reverend Mother General’s native- land by way of a Spanish fiesta. The Hockey Field was transformed into a gay pavilion, with an arena where matadors with red cloaks struggl ed with a temperamental bull, and lovely ladies in mantillas applauded or hissed their efforts. We had a picnic supper around the pond filled with balloons and bobbing lanterns. Later, we were entertained by charming peasant girls, playing Spanish airs on guitar and violin, while four dancers tangoed and “castanetted” about. May 8. A piano recitai by Professor Marrow. May 10. The annual Tea Dance, under the auspices of the Alumnae Association, was given at the Plaza Hotel. May 14.

The Baccalaureate Sermon, delivered by Right Reverend Monsignor La- velle, ushered in the ceremonies. After the Mass, the Seniors marched down the long path to the Pius X Hall, bearing the longest Daisy Chain in college history, and transferred it to the Sophomores, who draped it around the statue of the Sacred Heart. Monday, June 2nd, was Class Day. After the Alumnae Breakfast, held in the Quadrangle, the Seniors presented their class play, “Let’s Pre¬ tend’’, written and directed by Mary Imelda Maher, which illustrated the possibilities of well-known characters in fiction, and showed the imagination, originality and dramatic ability of both playwright and cast. The reading of the Senior Will, in the evening, made the beneficiaries realize the weight of their future responsibilities, and the prophecies which followed showed the Seniors how much the Juniors in turn expected of them. The Sopho¬ mores, assembled in the Quadrangle, then serenaded the Seniors, who listened from the upper windows. On Field Day, the athletes of the college received due recognition and reward. After the various class competitions on field and track, tennis let¬ ters were awarded to Mary Imelda Maher, Betty Hoppe, Betty Sherwood and Virginia Healy, members of the Varsity team. The “Aisy Sullivan” Cup for Improvement in Athletics, was awarded to Louisa Popham. Betty Sherwood not only received the Trophy, as final winner of the Golf Tourna¬ ment, but in addition won the Tennis Cup, by a hard-fought battle with Sally O’Byrne. After the individual awards, the Sophomore Class received the Field Day Cup, and the evening ended with the silver stars and muffled bursts of fireworks. The Week was brought to a fitting close by the Commencement Exer¬ cises on June 4th, at which Reverend Mother Vicar was present. During the entrance of the Seniors the Orchestra played an Overture by Mendels¬ sohn. Reverend John J. Wynne, S. J., S. T. D., presented the candidates for degrees, which were conferred by His Eminence, Patrick Cardinal Hayes, who gave a short address congratulating the recipients and show¬ ing his fatherly interest in their future careers. The Glee Club, accom¬ panied by the Orchestra, then sang the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah,” which was followed by an address to the new graduates by Mr. Joseph Wickham, Litt.D. After the long procession to the Chapel, during which the whole College sang the Commencement Hymn, Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament was given, and the Senior Class of 1930 joined the ranks of the graduates. [One hundred and nine ] ALUMNAE BREAKFAST r PHE Alumnae Breakfast is the first occasion on which the Senior Class of the College meet with the Alumnae as representatives of Manhat- tanville. It is the welcome of the old graduates to the new, and, as such, is eagerly anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed. The thirty-second annual Breakfast of the Manhattanville Alumnae Association, held at the Park Lane, on Tuesday, January 13, was the usual delightful gathering. Mrs. Edgar J. Treacy, president of the Association, in her speech of welcome, touched on the age of the Association and spoke of its many dis¬ tinguished members. In her briskly humorous manner, Miss Corinne Roche, as toastmaster, introduced the speakers. The first address was given by Mrs. John Syl¬ vester Reilly, well known for her radio work and the articles she has con¬ tributed to the Signet. Then Mrs. William Patterson Van Wyck, of Maple- hurst and Elmhurst, spoke of the work accomplished during the last twenty- five years by the Barat Settlement, of which she is president. The singing of an Aria from “O Don Fatale” of Verdi by Miss Marjorie Peugnet brought the Breakfast to a charming conclusion. i — mm. ■ ■ a [One hundred and tenl directory 34 [One hundred and twelve ] SENIORS Marie Boucher. ...693 Averill Avenue, Rochester, New York Veronica Brown.. .563 West 161st Street, New York, N.
