RYAN It was with a deep feeling of loss that Manhattanville heard of the death of Mr. John D. Ryan on February 1 1, 1933. Mr. Ryan was one of the outstanding Catholic laymen of New York. Because of his constant and liberal contributions to Catholic charities, he was honored by His Holiness Pope Pius XI who made him a Knight of St. Gregory in 1923. Mr. Ryan was also a Knight of the Sovereign and Military Order of Malta. His generous activities were not confined within the sphere of his Church, but he gave himself just as generously to his country. When the United States was at war, he temporarily dropped his vast business interests to serve his country, as a director of the military relief of the American Red Cross. Later, at President Wilson’s request, he directed the production of airplanes as second assistant secretary of war under Mr. Newton D. Baker. It is with pride that the students of Manhattanville remember Mr. Rvan not only as one of Manhattanville’s ablest trus¬ tees, but also as a valued friend.

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, Make ready for the corn to grow; The cold was strong, the waiting long, Now all the ways are full of song. For thorns 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 reapers 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 and 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 w ' e have found the early flowers. From every time and every clime We reap the harvest of their prime. From harvesting our sheaves w r e 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 r on row that gleam and glow Exultingly the reapers go. Before T hy shrine, O Heart Divine, We lay the treasures that are Thine; Thy manifold rich gift we hold Will turn all grevness into gold. To Thee, our King, our sheaves w r e bring, In exultation reaping, sing.

F “MARGS” Bannin is your friend, it means not only a decided point in your favor, but that you have gained a friend forever. The accomplish¬ ments of this dark-haired girl with her perfect widow’s peak, and ex¬ pression that would be serious if it were not belied by her fun-loving eyes, are many and famous. Her dramatic ability has won her various roles, including her unforgettable portrayal of Mrs. Haggerty, the old woman of wizened figure and croaking voice in “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals.” Her versatility has lent itself to athletics with marked result. Nobody but “Margs” would have volunteered to play forward-line on the class hockey team when it was her ambition to play back-field; to enter the annual track-meet with the knowledge that her reward would be a boost for the class of ’33, and once again—moral victory. Again, at the swimming meet in 1932, “Margs” reflected glory on her class by carrying off the diving honors with grace and her never-failing poise. To show their gratitude as well as good judgment, the Seniors selected “Margs” to be their Athletic Representative. Memorable though these feats may be, her masterpiece remains the dictionary which she dedicated to Mother Brownson—this reminds us, that we should all appreciate letters from “Margs,” because they would be sure to prove interesting.

HE sound of a merry laugh, a low southern voice that is drawling, “Now Eloise,” the most recent jot of nonsense being related—follow all these to their source and without doubt you will find Emily. A staunch adherent of the policy “Never do today what you can do tomorrow.’’ Emily has managed to pass her college career without becoming harrassed over ex¬ aminations or disturbed about keeping ahead of her work. However, Emily is par¬ ticularly gifted to pursue this system, and while it is acknowledged that many of her fellow students would never prosper if they followed her example, Emily succeeds in accomplishing all that she should, even arduous history assignments and Italian essays, without letting them cause her the slightest second of worry. A true southerner, even to her love for Richmond’s famous Beaten Biscuits and her intense aversion to the cold, Emily has with characteristic hospitality and friendliness won a claim on the hearts of her northern friends at Manhattanville.

ANET has proved successfully that appearances are often deceiving. Al¬ though her face is finely chiseled and her chin determined and strong, her voice is wistful and appealing rather than forceful as one would expect. She is slim almost to fraility, and seems as if she would be stunned by the mere sight of a hockey stick or a basketball, and therefore, those who meet her for the first time are quite astonished to learn that she has won her gold hockey stick, that for four years she has been on her class basketball team, that she has been Athletic representative for her class in every year, and that now, in her Senior year, she is president of the Athletic Association. But there is one first impression about Janet that is not deceiving, on the contrary it is one that is lasting and permanent, it is that she is charming company and exceedingly interesting at all times and on all occasions.

HERE are many original people—but none like Connie. Many are whimsical—but not in Connie’s way. We have heard of unrevealed depths, but never come in contact with such depths as are hidden in Connie. Her originality shows itself in spoken as well as in written word—for Connie’s conversational comments are as delightful as her stories. Even the titles of her famous literary productions which so unfailingly find a place in “The Essay” disclose her whimsicality; “Take off your Shoes and Stock¬ ings,” “Not Intended for Sophisticates,” “Dream-House.” After much wonder and search we found in the recesses of Connie’s rich and interesting mind a deep and convinced interest in war debts, positive opinions on all the modern poets, and knowl¬ edge of Italian and Economics. These are a few of the fame-making, name-making, friend-making and, need we add, holding qualities that Connie possesses such lavish measure. “Those whom the gods love”—well, Connie is one of them.

HERE was a problem to which we could not find an answer: “Can energy and perseverance and good nature and love of fun be mingled successfully in one person?” We looked about and wondered; then we found Helen, the Mathematician, who gave us the answer in herself. Helen is quiet, thoughtful. She is fond of fitting figures and numbers into their proper places, and of arranging lines in intricate fashion with infinite patience. She is true to the standard of work that she has set for herself; and we adm ire her for it. She is always ready to help or to talk, or to have a good time.

UR Frances is a whimsical Miss. Her black hair, twinkling eyes, sprite¬ like grace and well-known sense of humor which is betrayed by the up¬ turned corners of her mouth, suggest the typical Irish lass. In classes, Frances is highly esteemed, and it is not unusual to hear that “Miss Connolly was the only one to see the point.” Fran herself, never flaunts her knowledge. Indeed, she is almost apologetic for having such original and win¬ ning ideas. Her undertakings are enormous for her size, and yet they are as success¬ ful as they are grand. Even unruly girl-scouts succumb to the dignity which she assumes on momentous occasions, but they still recognize in “Miss Connolly,” the Senior who is not too grown-up to play with them. The secret of her charm as a sympathetic friend and listener, and all that this rare gift implies, is found in a mul¬ titude of “becauses.” Arguing from effect to cause, the reason why everyone loves her, is because she is Frances Connolly.

UIETNESS without monotony, charm without affectation, femininity with¬ out sentimentality—one immediately associates these qualities with Edith. Poised and unruffled, she can meet any situation with tact and dignity. Her natural charm explains the fact that there is never an awkward sil¬ ence when Edith is present. It is fitting that a person of her character should have chosen to major in the Classics and minor in Medieval Literature. These subjects combining the culmination of the culture of the old world with that of the new, are pre-eminently suited to her who possesses the perfect self-composure and grace of the stately Athenian woman together with a touch of the romantic appeal that caused knights to swear eternal fealty to medieval ladies. To all these qualities Edith adds her own open friendliness and gracious personality which is in¬ dividually Edith. [ Page twenty-eight ] 5 (a (aui + ! r it S. ,Vi. VVV.vUV :vWv ccccrcwxvcro?

Her cool, calculating head for business has not been lost in college life, as she has been a most capable business manager of 1 he Essay. She is just as capable in other spheres, particularly in her performance of the modern dramatic monologue, in which she sends the whole College into hysterics at her portiayal of an autocratic aunt or of a lecturing tourist from Uganda. Because she has such a sane and balanced outlook on life, she has acquired the ability of seeing everything in pro¬ portion; because she sees things so clearly, she is efficient and reliable. She is always to be counted upon, a fact which in itself explains her popularity and the trust and esteem her classmates have shown her.

E have always thought of Eleanor in terms of graciousness, of calm and balanced ease. We have wondered at the facile way she has accomplished things. We noticed something keen and gentle in her smile that made us want to know her better. Then last year we saw her name in copies of “The Essay,” and found that she possessed a depth of logic, and a way of turning words to give them added beauty. We discovered her skill in arguing a point at the Debating Club, and now she presides over it on Tuesday nights with poise and authority. On other occasions she is unassuming and natural, and as fond of fun as anyone. Eleanor does not let us know her easily, but what we do know makes us realize how much more there is yet to be known and admired.

ITH Sue as with a modernistic drawing you start with the general outlines and work in, and, like a modernistic drawing, Sue is not understood by all and sundry. Her distinctive appearance invariably draws a second glance. If you look a third or fourth time you will find that she is charmingly impersonal and quietly observant, and that her personality is quite as distinctive as her appearance. Sue’s noticeable “laconicness” is a result of her ability to express herself briefly but tersely. She does not lack a sense of humour but it is appropriately not noisy and distinctively subtle. She has three outstanding accomplish¬ ments: she plays basketball well and with gracefulness; she swims well and with good form; she sleeps well and at any time. Like Cyrano she chooses her friends with an eye to individual attainments rather than to social achievements. Discrimina¬ tion and appreciation give her that which most modernistic drawings lack-—proportion [ Page thirty-one ] A I TV Betty Galvin Convent of the Sacred Heart, Madison Avenue, New York. Club Espanol, ’32, ”33; Debating Club, ’31; Medical Unit, ’30. HERE is something gay and refreshing about Betty, something that never intrudes itself yet always comes when it is wanted. It is hard to define, yet we can only say that it gives the same impression as blue and yellow when they stand together—strength and fragility, depth and quietness. They seem to look openly at life and find it full of joy,—so does Betty. The first impression we get of her is one of blue and yellow—deep blue eyes and yellow hair. Vivacity and interest color her conversation. A serious word of hers can turn a fresh light on a drab subject, or an apt remark can quietly chequer it with fun. Betty has made Manhattanville love her and look for her unobtrusive gaiety and charm, and when she leaves, these qualities will still radiate to everyone with whom she comes in contact. f Page thirty-two ] $ (A ■ if- Alesia Garcia, E. de M.

First one is attracted by the combination of coal black hair, brown sparkling eyes and a vivacious and amused expression. Soon comes complete captivation by her individual naive charm and tremendous ability to do tilings. Her linguistic powers which include a command of English, Italian and French besides her native Spanish are astounding, and the versatility of her capabilities in¬ cludes anything from the graceful execution of a tango to the understanding of a profound philosophical treatise. However, these are not the only causes of the esteem in which her friends hold her, for underneath this seemingly lighthearted Spanish temperament, one unexpectedly finds a strong foundation of seriousness and sincerity. These two qualities underlie everything she goes into, whether it be a debate, the arrangement of a Fiesta,” or merely a usual tea-time conversation. And all this plus ever so much more will make us remember Alesia. [ Page thirty-three ] zht e ❖ ut ji i £ TV Claire Gibson ft. Angela Hall, Brooklyn, N. Y.

LTHOUGH most of us have known Claire only during her Junior and Senior years, we have been able to discover in this short time the unend¬ ing fund of energy and the unceasing store of enthusiasm which she em¬ ploys to an equal degree both in working and playing. Anyone who has ever seen her doing French assignments realizes how intensely she works, and spectators who have ever watched her in a tennis match realize how vigorously she plays. The possessor of a keen sense of humor, she enjoys a good joke heartily, even when the joke is on herself. The earnestness and interest which Claire displays in all her classes have animating effects in her conversation, which is ente rtaining and diverting because Claire is decidedly alert to what is going on in the world. Claire, with her eager expression, her well-known stride and her undying ardor will not leave unremembered. [ Page thirty-four ] 07 d ' ' V. %, ' w V. Margaret Greene, E. de M.

Her sweetness and her fairness are manifested in the restful evenness of her temper and in the sheen of her honey-colored hair. We see her stateliness in the erect¬ ness of her posture and the dignity with which she holds her head. So very quiet is her demeanor that the fact of her clever and adaptible mind would have been kept a secret had it not been for her classes and her companions. Margaret is an indispensable aid to the Dramatic Club, and before each play, the characters must face her scrutinizing eye to make sure that their make-up will produce just the desired effect. Margaret has never been known to “blow her own horn,’ nevertheless her unassuming presence will not be forgotten. [ Page thirty- five ] Hi e ❖ ui i T u;t.ctTO.i.� iy Claire Griffin, E. de M.

N this great metropolis the fact that one comes from Brooklyn seems to be a subject for great raillery and mirth, but Claire is decidedly a point in Brooklyn’s favor. She is tall and slender, with eyes that look frankly and openly at life, and a smile that breaks naturally and easily. Her clear blue eyes speak for her sincerity, her smile for her geniality. Her room is delightfully comfortable and hospitable and when one is Claire’s guest one is very liable to stay until time for “lights,” and even then be sorry the visit was so short, because Claire will talk about just the topic one wants her to talk about, from affairs of state to the value of Latin as a major. Speaking of Latin, we shall never forget the Classical Club’s presentation of “Aulularia” in which the role of the “cook” was enacted so inimitably by Claire.

O matter from what angle one considers Josie, she leaves a positive im¬ pression in one’s mind. I hink of her as a color—she is deeply saturated; think of her as music—she is vitally dominant; regard her from the point of view of temperament—she is strongly choleric; regard her from the point of view of principle—she is decidedly definite. Our knowledge of her is of an unusual kind; we feel rather than know her strength, depth and person¬ ality. However, she is not entirely made up of subtleties. Our consciousness, but not hers, testifies to the fact that she has an engaging smile and shy moments; that she has an amazing ability for the portrayal of butler roles; that she has a comprehensive knowledge of drama, music, and history; and above all that she wields hockey stick, golf club and tennis raquet as if inspired. Moreover, we are sure that if Josie is your friend, you may depend upon her implicitly and forever, because she is positively genuine. [ Page thirty-seven ] Zh£ : cfi £ Zt Z ❖ Ul (Jt.

IKE the delicate impression of a violin note, clear, tender and pensive, so does Mary impress us. Perhaps it is her place in the orchestra that causes us to compare her to the instrument she wields so deftly. Whatever the cause, the comparison is apt, for, as the notes of a violin float upward to another world far removed from this, so must Adary’s thoughts. And whether these thoughts are in Russian, French, Spanish, German or English, for she lapses from one tongue into another with equal ease, her true language is the language of a musician. She is first and last a music lover. But she has “in-between moments” when she descends from the dreamy realm in which she usually dwells, and we are given the chance to witness the depth of her exceptional mind and to enjoy her singular thoughts. Alary Illyne, with her delicately formed features, her voice that is low and melodious, her hands that are graceful and artistic, and her inherent thoughtfulness is a distinctive personality.

What else could it be that makes her walk with the sound of definite destination in her every step, that makes her talk with noticeable purposefulness, that makes her doggedly pursue that history reading, and that makes her fight with unbelievable energy in class games? She does not talk a great deal, but when she does, she says a great deal, much that is interesting, much that is helpful, and much that is humorous, for Marg was not absent when senses of humor were bestowed. 1 o use friendly as charac¬ teristic of her is to add a greater meaning to the word, because, as in everything else, Marg puts determination into her friendships.

HETHER one wants an exact mathematical equation, an appreciation of a modern musical composition, an apt quotation or the characteristics of a great painter, Alice always has ready information on the tip of her tongue. With her well-balanced mind she is capable of seeing the relation between the exact sciences and the fine arts and of mastering both. She has spent her years at college amassing a wealth of knowledge on a variety of subjects, and has thus formed a very definite phil osophy of life, which later she plans to express in architecture. With her characteristic sense of balance, Alice has maintained a consistent equilibrium of time. One never finds her tearing her hair over a last minute essay or madly dashing at half past two to keep a two o’clock appointment. To quote an old maxim, “She works when she works, she plays when she plays.” Wherever she is, we may be sure that she will reap the reward of her keen sense of proportion, never sacrificing one good to the detriment of another, but remaining always in the “happy medium.” [ Page forty ] 0 C AOHa + !r ' is ii f-fe-? i Lgjt Patricia Kreag Convent of the Sacred Heart, Rochester, Nevu York.

AX seems to impress the general public as being a typical fashionable young lady, and this description is resented by those who know her. We feel that there are limitations inferred by that title which are evidently not hers. And knowing her, we appreciate her cleverness and sense of humor so much that it does not seem right for any description to omit mention of them. Her literary prowess alone, as exhibited in 1 he Essay, depicts her as the possessor of a great gift, and those who have worked with her over such things as “Class Prophecies” were impressed with her originality. But the subject that is indeed worthy of a poet’s praise, is her disposition. She has the faculty of laughing at the disappointments and unreasonable things in life, and going her way untroubled. Gen¬ erous to a degree, she will give anything, including her time and talents, in response to a request. Indeed, Pat will always have a place of honor in our Hall of Memory.

S President of the Missionary Association, Bobbie has been eminently suc¬ cessful in urging us to greater and ever greater efforts to rescue the black babies of Africa, as well as to relieve in some degree the distress that exists among our own near home. But the Missionary Association is not the only enterprise in which Bobbie participates; she is also a faithful life¬ guard, and all who enjoy the “plunge period” appreciate a feeling of security under her vigilant eye. Besides this she is an excellent dancer and a leader much in demand in the Radio Room. From these practical facts, who would suspect her of writing poetry and delicately humorous essays? But this is so, and hidden away in her mind and heart is a corner which few know, where she converses with Lepracauns. Bobbie is an artist too, perhaps someday she will collect all her fairy experiences and uniting pen and brush will give them to her friends.

STHER’S wide dark eyes and curly black hair are the outward expression of that inner quality which fits her so preeminently for the part of Luison in Moliere’s “Le Malade Imaginaire.” That quality is a certain attractive simplicity which gives its envied owner her endless capacity for song and laughter, wit and wonder, that make friendship with her such a precious possession. There is also another, more hidden side of Esther, the side which comes into evidence when she is called upon to edit a literary magazine or guard a hard- beleaguered goal. In these capacities she is unworried and reliable, and her far-famed gifts of music and authorship play a valuable part in song and cheer contests as well as in the arduous tasks of editorship and organization. Whether on the hockey-field, in the class-room or in Argan’s salon, Esther is sought after for her remarkable gifts of laughter and leadership.

AN FRANCISCO opened wide its golden gates and sent Kay back to us this year. The gates of Manhattanville swung swiftly open to receive her, and those who were not here during her Freshman year soon saw why her return had been so joyfully heralded and received. For Kay is a unique personality, the source of her individuality being that she holds a monopoly on happiness and good humor. Many have tried to find her in a blue mood, but that would not be Kay. Those who have tried to discover the secret of her success find that it lies in her enviable faculty of making friends. With her charm and her smile, her sympathy and her enthusiasm, she gains even the most austere as friends. [ Page forty-four ] $ C A WUX - ! fehg- Alice Eloise McElroy, E. de M.

It seems strange to think that this titian-haired maiden with the infectious grin is a Senior, and it as sad to realize that she will be with us no longer. We shall miss her contribution of wit and originality which so enlivened our English classes. Moreover, far removed from the realms of study, we shall long for her support on the hockey-field. Here, although her grin might be misleading, she is a most determined player, and we cannot remember that she ever failed us. But most of all, we shall miss the pleasure of being entertained by Eloise in her room, so like herself in artistic cheerfulness and good taste—not to mention its ready supply of peanuts. It was there in her “work-shop,” that Eloise like her must-be ancestors, the Brownies, did wonderful things and laughed.

CHARACTER that is full of contrasts is always full of interest. And if the contrasts, though marked, are not flamboyant and over-obtrusive, the interest is all the greater because it has the added attraction of subtlety. It is this that we find in Helen—a character made fascinating by its wealth of subtle contrasts. Equally expert at expounding the mysteries of Shakespeare, at directing Barrie’s most whimsical of whimsies or at tactfully taking the difficult part of Member-at-Large on the College Welfare Committee, she is ad¬ mired and loved for her clear, sure mind and her deft, good judgment. She is a friend capable of sharing any joy or sorrow because her all-round personality can so easily adapt itself to every kind of problem or experience. This explains in her, be¬ sides the inherent contrasts which are the chief interest of her character, also the contrasting interests to which she devotes herself so whole-heartedly and with such genuine enthusiasm.

Helen is the exception, for she possesses the urbanity which gives its owner true self-confidence, fitting her for any situation in which she may find herself, prepared for any emergency and never at a loss for the right word or the correct attitude. It is her urbanity which makes Helen so greatly desired as a member of Tea Dance Committees, Editorial Boards and various Clubs and organiz ations. But it is a quality as rare as urbanity and more universally appreciated that wins for Helen her many friends, that is her smiling consideration for other people. She is as thoughtful of people whom she does not know well as she is of her friends. And this is a quality which does not come and go spasmodically, but is an unforgettable part of Helen, noticeable at all times, whether she is looking for a history book in the library, making luncheon arrangements or soliciting adver¬ tisements for a magazine.

VERYONE would like to be able to say with truth, “I have grown wiser and have not lost wonder,” but few are able to. Kitty is one of the enviable few, for she combines a mature and competent mind—which, by the way, enables her to discharge successfully the manifold duties of Senior Vice-President and captain of the hockey team—with a winning quality of childlikeness. It is this engaging quality that gives her the famous smile we all love, and the unstudied friendliness that makes everyone want to know Ki tty well. On the hockey field she reminds us of Atlanta, in the Glee Club of the famous lark, and her contagious enthusiasm lends an added element of attractiveness to every corner and activity.

OOKING around this little world of ours, we have discovered that from the point of view of disposition, Frances ranks alone. We doubt if there is any other so unruffled, so easy-going and with such a facility for taking life as it comes. Somehow, she is one of the few placid people who are good-humored, understanding, and, at the same time, full of personality. For she has just as much ease in acquiring and keeping friends as she has in surmount¬ ing difficulties and vicissitudes. Combined with that faculty, we have discovered a strong degree of loyalty in Frances. There is a staunchness about her friendships which brings out the same quality in those whom she chooses to favor. We who know her predict plenty of sunshine in the future for one so happily endowed.

ARION has made herself famous as the organizer of Manhattanville’s first Swimming Club. Her well formed, precise strokes, her graceful clear-cut dives may well be taken as an indication of Marion’s tempera¬ ment. Although she is a “red head,” her temper either does not exist or is under very excellent control. She is quiet and most decidedly calm. When the bell rings before Marion’s first class, you invariably hear an engine puffing up the long hill, pebbles flying and brakes slamming. A minute later you see Marion sauntering into history class with all the facts of the nineteenth century on her finger tips. Marion makes her presence felt by her determination and desire to please, and if the state of her heart can be judged by the repertoire of songs that she is always cheerfully humming, she is an optimist of the optimists. We wish you luck, Marion, and a long continuance of the happy spirit that you have possessed during your years at Manhattanville. T [ Page fifty ] G W 3 WMian Mary Kay O’Connor, E. de M.

VERYONE in the United States may not be satisfied with President Roosevelt, but everyone at Manhattanville is more than satisfied with Mary Kay. It is no wonder that she has unanimous supporters—she is the fulfillment of their every need and demand. She is justly capable and capably just. She knows what she wants and does not stop at the mere knowledge. She sees a point very clearly and if that point has a laughable side, Mary Kay’s well-known sense of humour never misses it, and her equally well-known laugh never fails. The most wonderful thing about her is that her authority comes naturally from her and is not affected. The manner in which she exercises this authority without its victim, ever knowing or realizing it, is a source of wonder and admiration to everyone. Activity is one of Mary Kay’s innate characteristics. To watch her on the basketball court or in the swimming pool is to witness quickness and skill in perfect precision. Personality and personal interest make Mary Kay the universal “favorite son’’ of the Manhattanville party. [ Page fifty-one ] Josephine Parker, E. de M.

IRTH and dignity, activity and repose, are seldom combined, yet they are perfectly harmonized in Josephine’s character. She is tall and dark, and though she first impresses one with her quiet dignity, later one finds that she has abundant gifts of laughter and merriment. Jo creates a happy atmosphere for those around her as well as for herself, a fact which ex¬ plains the group that is usually gathered about her in the Day-Students’ room. And Jo, though always husily occupied, seems to wear an expression of serenity and placid¬ ness regardless of her occupation. She is never too busy to take time off for a momen¬ tary chat, to sympathize with one’s latest catastrophe, or to encourage one’s newest plan. Jo is a friend with all the fellowship that the term implies, a lady with all the consideration that the fine old word connotes. [ Page fifty-two ] 07 W §� r| T h i v Louisa Popham, E. de M.

We say the Classical Club above all, because she is the Presi¬ dent of that intellectual society, being one of the foremost Latin Students in the College. Site understands the language as might any ancient Roman. Her admirable portrayal of “Euclio,” the old miser in “Aulularia,” was a very audible proof of her mastery of the tongue.

It is easy to glean from these comparisons that she is an extremely entertaining person, one that is fitted to transform petty tragedies into comedies, and to smooth away difficulties with encouraging words of advice. But what these comparisons do not reveal is the fact that Madeleine is a clever artist who contributed a great deal to the Tower of 1932, nor do they show that she works with a view of accomplishing exactly what she sets out to do. When Madeleine has grown old and grey, her spirit will still be young, because she possesses what Ponce de Leon sought in vain, the fountain of eternal youth and never-diminishing enthusiasm.

NERGETIC, restless, independent, full of interest, these are phrases often heard with reference to Nellie, certainly one of the most vivid and arrest¬ ing of the Seniors. She goes about her work with energetic interest and possesses an amazing power of organization, which was displayed in her successful editorship of last year’s Tower and in her captaincy of this year’s senior class hockey team. She plays, acts, comes and goes, blows into the Knick and into class, talks, laughs, debates, all with the same indifferent independence which assures her always doing just what she likes without fear of public opinion. Nellie has another gift—a rare gift, which is an essential part of her impulsive nature. She is generous almost to prodigality, in her friendships, in her interests, in her time, for she is never too busy to do anything for a friend or a pet enthusiasm.

N the midst of the noise and hustle of the modern world Rita’s unobtru¬ siveness is very refreshing. But reserved though she is, Rita stands for something very definite in our minds. For a person of her small stature and daintiness, the choice of mathematics as a major seems incongruous. She does not at all fit the conception of one who becomes absorbed in determining the shadow of a cone in perspective or in discovering the resistance of series in parallel. However, the unanimous verdict of her professors indicates that Rita has chosen her major wisely. As she is mentally active in the classroom so is she physically active in the field of sport, for Rita belongs to the pioneer “Life-Saving Corps” of Manhattanville. Utterly unselfish, always ready to render a “service with a smile,” Rita has quietly won our hearts. [ Page fifty-seven ] n e ❖ ttt £ X I 1? 1-Vm.l.VXVA.

HE phrase that instantly comes to mind when speaking of Kay is “the perfect hostess.” Kay shows her possession of this not too common but certainly very enviable quality, in a number of very remarkable and more certainly enviable ways. First—her temperament; it is pure sanguine. That is very remarkable, and who would not envy a constant freedom from mood and worry, a constant possession of charm and gaiety? Then, her room,— with its bright curtains, comfortable cushions, and attractive array of books, maga¬ zines, pictures and records, possesses an atmosphere remarkably hospitable and enviably welcoming. Then, and most remarkable, there is Kay’s manner in executive positions. No one but a “perfect hostess” could fulfil the duties of officer of the Missionary- Association, President of the Glee Club, and manager of the tennis team in the inimi¬ table and attractive manner in which she does. There can be no doubt of the success that must ever attend Kay Witherspoon.

The cakes and the cooks were many, but alas, the presents were few; the year-old building had to be content with our joy at possessing it and our appreciation cf it. ' Phis appreciation in the form of happy laughter filled the building and sent forth heartfelt wishes of many happy returns of the day. One does not usually connect ghosts with young buildings, but the youthful gymnasium saw them on Hallowe’en at the spookiest, most hair-raising event of the year. The Seniors led the College blindfolded down the fire escape near Arcadia, and from the door at its foot to the Benziger Building. After undergoing all the scares and thrills of a real Hallowe’en we were refreshed with doughnuts and cider, while some ducked for apples and others had their fortunes told by Alesia Garcia and Nellie Runnells. On December 19th the Seniors again entertained the College by presenting a one-act play, “The Garden Party,” written by Eloise McElroy. The proceeds were added to the Christmas fund for the Unemployed. At the tea given by Reverend Mother on her feast, February 14th, the College was surprised to see the dignified Seniors, turned into rollicking companions of Cupid, file into the Assembly Hall, Esther McCarthy daintily leading the line. They were linked together by a chain of hearts, and when they came to a standstill at the far end of the hall they read from these hearts descrip¬ tions of certain members of the College, in verses that were so remarkably apt that the persons to whom they applied were guessed immediately. The Seniors have also been prominent in the field of sports, and have fought a good fight in the class hockey game. The Senior Hockey line-up included Margaret Jefferys, Eloise McElroy, Kitty Midgley, Mary K. O’Connor, Margaret Bannin, Madeleine Revnes, Connie Calvari, Janet von Brecht, Louisa Popham, Ann Grogan, Esther McCarthy and last, but not the least, Nellie Ru nnells, the Captain. The Basketball Team has been practically the same these last four years: forwards, Margaret Bannin, the Captain and Sue Engert; centers, Claire Griffin and Bobbie Mathis; guards, Margaret Jefferys and Janet von Brecht. This is the notably vic¬ torious team which this year won the basketball trophy for the fourth time.

After several days of peremptory orders from the Sophomores, the Juniors’ invitation was received doubtfully by the harassed Freshmen. Was it really an invitation to tea or an invitation to serve tea? Gradually they were reassured, and with the help of English muffins and tea and chocolate, they became convinced of the friendly intentions of their sister class. 3die quality of Junior friendship made up for the small number of Juniors with whom to be friends. It was with both sorrow and pride that the Juniors learned in September that their vice-president had left their ranks to take a place among the postulants at Kenwood. Mary Oswald is still missed although the vice-president’s duties have been capably performed by Margaret Owens, who was unanimously chosen to fill the vacant office. Although the Juniors have not been victorious in the athletic contests of the year they have played energetic hockey and basketball games after which they graciously bowed to their victors, perhaps with the secret hope that these bows may be returned after the swimming meet and track events. The line-ups were as follows: The Junior Hockey Team: Right Wing .Lucille Corral Right Inside .Peggy McDonald Center Forward ...Ruth Slattery Left Inside .. . .Mary Alice Mangan, Captain Left Wing .. .Jane Fisher Left Halfback .... .Christine Heffernan Right Halfback .Madeleine Pascual Center Halfback . .Keith Jenkins Right Fullback .

[ Piu e seventy-one ] (ii tj p ® nut p r 33 10 ®lte § npltmnnn (Elans One of the most important offices of the Sophomore Class each year is to impart the lessons of Freshman week to their younger sisters. This year they accomplished it through the medium of a Fashion Show with the Freshmen as models. The success of the Fashion Show was due in great part to the originality of Polly O’Donnell. Patricia Raymond, who as Sophomore President presided over the revels of Freshman week, was obliged by illness to leave us. Ann Murray who at the beginning of the term had been elected Vice-president succeeded in the vacancy. Betty Bruce was elected as Vice-president. President Raymond has been ably replaced by President Murray, but it is not possible to fill the place of Patricia Raymond, and so we are still hoping she may return to us. On Reverend Mother’s feast the Sophomores made themselves responsible for part of the entertainment by supplying jig-saw puzzles made from hearts. This feature of the entertainment was announced by Mary McCarthy, who as Jack-in-the-Box rose suddenly from a large barrel that was wheeled into the room on a small cart, bor¬ rowed from the Vestry for the occasion. The Sophomore Hockey and Basketball teams were valiant in action and still more so in spirit. Although their efforts did not carry them to the pinnacle of success, their spirit raised them high in our estimation. The line-ups were as follows: ' Fhe Sophomore Hockey Team: Right Wing .Margaret Myers Right Inside .Constance Dillon Center Forward .Sallie O’Donoghue, Captain Left Inside .Marietta Gannon Left Wing ...Ann Murray Right Halfback .Carolyn Cashman Left Halfback .Marjorie O’Connor Center Halfback .Eileen Leahy Right Fullback .Polly O’Donnell Left Fullback ...Grace Corral—Zaida Jones Goaler .Kathleen Whitfield ' Fhe Sophomore Basketball Team: Forwards .Virginia Seymour, Marietta Gannon, Captain Centers .Geraldyne Colihan, Mary Joseph Lane Guards .Edna Karthaus, Jane Hassett [ Page seventy-two ] [ Page seventy-three ] [ Page seventy-four ] iFrpshuunt C u W-o „ 03 T3 P P 03 Ph u 5 ! bfl 03 £ h 03 G Hh 03 o3 U p ■£ G sT —T U. ■—• E C3 3 D L x. i ■ rt G T3 rp 13 0) X 2 -r 03 w w oj §=«? 1 � -G r3 S| t-i .5 fll c ‘5b 03 G t2 G E G c o G G x =5 S oS o — Qm u t-( o 03 £ £ W p PQ g G G qj W G G .P C P u 03 G X 03 £ 03 H3 5 W U G 03 ,t3 £ 03 Q 03 . � -t - - 03 W u as U CJ ;S G . .

This time they gave us their interpretation of graduation exercises in a country school. Ruth McLaughlin made a typical schoolma’am whose pupils did her credit by reciting, singing, and dancing. Mary Virginia Lynch in particular won hilarious applause as an aesthetic dancer. A poetic effusion about a “moo cow” closed the graduation exercises and preluded the not unwelcome announcement of refreshments. In March, the Freshmen actresses again displayed their talent for the entertainment of some of their prospective successors—we hope-—who are at present members of the Fourth Academic Classes in the different convents of the Vicariate. The Freshmen have not only dramatic ability, but athletic skill as well. We need not fear for our high reputation in hockey or basketball in the coming years, for the Freshmen were victorious in the inter-class hockey games, and were second in basketball only to the Seniors with whom they played a hard-fought, final game.

Under the capable and tactful adminis¬ tration of Mary Kay O’Connor, the president of the Student Government, supported by Kitty Midgley, vice-president of the Senior Class and the presidents of the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes, the Student Government has enjoyed a very suc¬ cessful year. In Mary Kay, Freshmen as well as Seniors have found a leader who has always been ready to share in all their fun, and yet easily command their respect. The burdens of the Student Government Officers have been somewhat lightened this year by the co-operation of the College Welfare Association. This is a new organization, founded this year to bring about a greater organic unity between the faculty and the students. The members of the College Welfare Association consist of the entire faculty and the entire student body. The President is the President of the College, the Vice-president is the Dean. From the members of the faculty and the students a committee was chosen comprising equal representatives of the faculty and of the students. Phis committee is responsible for a standard of taste, efficiency and excellence in all approved College activities. Anyone, whether a member of the faculty or of the student body, may make any proposal for the common welfare of the college through a member of this committee. The responsibility of the Committee is to think and act for the common good and to subordinate the particular to the general. Using judgment and deliberation in all its decisions, the Committee acts freely and independently yet always in view of the common good. Thus because of the splendid work and loyalty fostered by this Committee, Student Government may feel that it has the absolute support of the entire College. [ Page eighty-two ] THE ESSAY BOARD Left to Right —Barbara Mathis, Patricia Kreag, Esther McCarthy (editor-in-chief), Isabel Delehanty (business manager), Consuelo Calvari, Frances Connolly. The practice introduced by the editorial board of last year’s Essay, namely that of issuing two publications during the year, proved so successful that this year’s editors have followed the same plan. They have continued to maintain the Essay’s high literary quality and to make it live up to the distinguished reputation that it has made for itself in the past. Many compliments have been bestowed upon it, notably that of Mr. Francis J. Sheed well-known English critic and publisher, who after duly scrutinizing the Essay, declared that he would list it among the finest literary pub¬ lications of its kind in America. It is, therefore, easy to understand why the students of Manhattanville are so eager to have their work accepted by the Essay, and are willing to spend endless hours laboring over and polishing manuscripts in the hope that they may find their way into the pages of the unpretentious, orange-colored magazine. While laboring in the interests of the Essay, many students have discovered undreamed of poetic talent, and hence Manhattanville submitted six poems to a competition sponsored by the Poet’s Guild to select poems for an Anthology of College Verse. Naturally the words of praise received concerning the Essay, reflect glory upon Mother Brownson, the faculty advisor, and upon its board of editors of which Esther McCarthy is the editor-in-chief. [ Page eighty-three ] THE MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION Left to Right —Elizabeth Wilmot (Sophomore representative), Christine HeflFernan (Junior representative), Catherine Witherspoon (treasurer), Barbara Mathis (president), Lucille Corral (secretary), Dora Gallagher (Freshman representative). Mtaatmtary Aaanrialtan The splendid enthusiasm aroused by Catholic Action propaganda is finding an ever-widening outlet in the work of the Missionary Association of Manhattanville. The zeal of its president, Barbara Mathis, has lead to an extension of individual charity work in teaching catechism, visiting schools and hospitals, sewing and knitting for the poor. In the Porto Rican section of the parish of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal we have found a new field for charity work by combating Communistic in¬ fluence. H ere, Students may conduct classes in singing, dancing and dramatics, as well as in catechism. Our interest has likewise been aroused in the welfare of the Negroes and Indians by the inspiring words of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and Mr. George Hunton of the Cardinal Gibbons’ Institute. We have had also, much to our delight, two vivid lectures from priests whom we now consider fast friends—Father Hubbard, S.J., and Father Keller of Maryknoll. By these activities, Manhattanville students share in the work of the Catholic Students’ Mission League, at whose meetings they are represented by the Senior and Junior classes, although the Seniors alone had the privilege of attending the annual Mission Mass in the Church of the Annunciation. This year for the first time, each college group was distinguished by its own banner, and Mary K. O’Connor and Barbara Mathis proudly led the entire unit. Among the outstanding novelties of the year was a Missionary entertainment in December at which Catherine Witherspoon’s moving pictures of the Olympic games of 1933 were much enjoyed. The price of admission was one toy, and that night the studio rivaled Santa Claus’s workshop. At Christmas time also many students under Mother Benziger’s instruction made paper Cribs for the Infant Jesus which were destined for the children of the Barat Settlement. It has been the good fortune of the officers of the Missionary Association to have Mother Louise Benziger as faculty advisor. Her original, yet eminently practical sug¬ gestions have contributed much to the success of the Association, as has her untiring devotion supported by the ready co-operation of the student body through whose gen¬ erosity the Association has been able to answer many appeals for aid both at home and abroad. [ Page eighty-four ] CATHOLIC ACTION COMMITTEE Left to Right —Katherine Harvey (Freshman representative), Mary Byles (Junior representa¬ tive), Helen McEveety (Senior representative), Elizabeth Donnelly (Sophomore represen¬ tative. (Eatljoltr Arltmt Catholic Action at Manhattanville lias been very definitely reorganized this year. The periodic Forums which were introduced last year, at which subjects of current Catholic interest are discussed, have been continued. At the first Forum on Novem¬ ber 11th, Helen McEveety, ’33, made a speech on “Catholic Action in Different Parts of Europe.” Mary Byles, ’34, spoke on the importance of “Catholic Action in College Life.” The second Forum took place in December and was on the general subject of Propaganda. The speakers were Rosalie Breen, ’35, who spoke on “Propa¬ ganda in General,” Keith Jenkins, ’34, who developed “The History of Propaganda,” and Barbara Mathis, ’33, who made a plea for timely Catholic Propaganda on the part of the College in the form of a united movement to send Christian Christmas cards. Nearly the whole College subscribed to this movement. At the First Forum in November, two groups were formed in the College for Catholic Action work. One, a class in applied apologetics conducted by Rev. Joseph McSorley of the Paulist Fathers, has met once a week and has discussed, with a view to the intelligent enlightening of non-Catholic enquirers, the Catholic idea of God and its implications, the Problem of Evil, the authority and infallibility of the Church. The other group formed in November is the Prayer Squad, which includes nearly the whole College in its membership, and whose purpose is to pray for the cause of Catholic Action. As part of Catholic Action, Manhattanville broadcasted this spring over Radio Station WLWL, a Social Justice Program under the sponsorship of the Knights of Columbus Forum. This program consisted of a speech by Elise Power, ’30, a musical program, and questions addressed by members of Catholic Action and answered by Elise Power. [ Page eiglity-five ] DEBATING CLUB OFFICERS Left to Right —Zaida Jones (recording secretary), Eleanor Deschenes (president), Frances Con¬ nolly (vice-president), Keith Jenkins (corresponding secretary). Debating QUuh This year marks the seventh successful season of the Manhattanville Debating Club. Mr. Clare has again been its director, and its bimonthly Tuesday night meet¬ ings have been presided over by Eleanor Deschenes. The debates have not been confined to any special field; on the contrary they have included politi cal, social and historical subjects, and many topics of general and college interest. When the Club first convened in September the members contributed many suggestions for subjects, and in most cases throughout the year the program committee assigned to students those subjects for which they had a preference. There was such a long list of Freshmen desirous of becoming members of the Debating Club this year, that a new organization was formed in the college in January. Under the name of the “Freshman Forum” this organization is open to all Freshmen interested in any form of public speaking. This provides an opportunity for frequent prepared or impromptu speeches, so that later, these students as upper classmen will be well equipped as public speakers to uphold the high standards of the College. The Public Debate is scheduled to take place on May 9th. The subject of the debate is: “Resolved: that Democracy is an outworn form of government.” Those who have been chosen to speak are: A ffirmative Eleanor Deschenes Mary Derham Ruth Cunningham A Iternates Ann Grogan Sallie O’Donoghue Negative Consuelo Calvari Mary Byles Alesia Garcia [ Page eighty-six ] ® li p 5 n iu p r 33 1 3 As usual, this debate, to which the whole college and guests of the club are invited, will be the climax of the year’s activity. Each year the best speaker in the Public Debate receives the honor of having her name inscribed on the Debating Club’s Plaque. Last year this honor was merited bv Nonie McGrath, ’32. She was the second member to be so honored as it was only in 1931 that the Club decided on this manner or honoring its best speakers. The Debating Club wishes to take this opportunity to express its gratitude to Mother Tenney, who has inspired and helped it by her unfailing interest and sug¬ gestions. It also extends its thanks to Mr. Clare for his able guidance during the past year. The following program includes all the formal debates of the past year. October 11—Resolved: that Olympic games promote international goodwill. Affirmative Negative Frances Connolly Keith Jenkins Catherine Midgley Sallie O’Donoghue The decision was in favor of the negative, and Miss O’Donoghue was voted the best speaker.

Iramattr AaHOriatimt The Dramatic Association has given the College several delightful evenings this year, each of which has been made more of a delight by the finished excellence of the performance. Before Christmas, James M. Barrie’s “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals” was presented. Barrie’s inimitable quaint charm was made all the more irresistible by the finesse of inflection and character interpretation by the actresses; the dialect was well-mastered and the pathos admirably reproduced. The Dramatic Association also presented a play at the Feast Wishes on Reverend Mother’s Feast. The play, “Among Women,” by Mother Brownson, depicted Our Lady’s Life, and her influence on women both in the temple and at Nazareth. It was acted with real reverence and insight, especially by Elizabeth Wilmot who had the part of Our Lady. Another performance is scheduled for the spring which will be the largest un¬ dertaking of the Dramatic Association for this year—the presentation of “Twelfth Night.” Almost the whole Club, under the coaching of Mrs. James Duane Living ston, will participate in one way or another in this production which will have a double cast, besides staff and arrangement committees. Chief credit for the success of the Association this year must be given to Helen McEveety, the president, who has worked unceasingly and painstakingly for each pro¬ duction, personally supervising all rehearsals and coaching the actresses in the truest sense of the word. It has been her patience and ingenuity which have made each performance so perfect. Without her we should not have enjoyed during the Alumnae Athletic Week-end the hilarious one-act play, “The Wedding,” which was presented most successfully by the seniors after only one day’s rehearsal. The competent co¬ operation of Consuelo Calvari and Magdalena Scholz in costuming and stage decora¬ tion have also been important contributions to the performances of the Dramatic Association.

(daman (£lub In September the members of the Clavian Club were grieved to learn of the departure of Mother Spies, the foundress of the club and its faculty advisor for the past five years. All who knew Mother Spies recognized her genius as a mathematician, and the Clavian Club felt her loss to be indeed a great one. However, the Club has continued “under new management.” All the mathematics and science pro¬ fessors have become faculty members, and a change has been made in the procedure of the meetings. The formal classroom lectures have given way to more informal meetings held in the lounge room of the Benziger Building. These meetings are held in the evenings and are presided over by the various faculty members in turn. In these days when not to understand the meaning of an “erg’ ’is a mark of frightful ignorance, the Clavian members must be alert to the new economic and mathematical developments of the age. Thus, Mr. Morrissey’s lecture on Technocracy was of vital interest to everyone. He gave us our first clear idea of the subject and we all felt exceedingly learned as a result. We are looking forward to a meeting in the near future when Helen Collins, Rita Sweeney, and Magdalena Scholz will read their thesis. Helen Collins and Rita Sweeney, the president and vice-president, respectively, are to be complimented on having the initiative and interest to reorganize the club, and to carry on its high standards in spite of the loss of Mother Spies.

Gllasairal GIlub That zealous patron of the olden arts, the Classical Club, began its year early in October with a meeting at which the faculty advisors, Mr. Holsapple and Mr. Woods outlined the campaign of action that the club would pursue throughout the year, and the enthusiastic president, Louisa Popham, declared herself in favor of fre¬ quent meetings. Characteristically she has carried out that declaration, and aside from the formal meetings held in the Benziger Building she has presided over many informal gatherings of the Club, held after luncheon, at which candidates for admis¬ sion acquitted themselves so well as to secure unanimous votes of membership. This year Dritha Duffy, Jane Hassett, Virginia Kelly, Mary McCarthy, Marie Monahan, Virginia Seymour, Kathleen Whitfield, and Elizabeth Wilmot have been received into the Club. At one formal meeting of the Club held in the Benziger Building, the members were delightfully entertained by Mr. Holsapple’s description of the recently excavated Sabine Farm which our old friend Horace described as a model of sim¬ plicity. Mr. Woods gave a scholarly dissertation on his well-loved “recitationes.” The Club is looking forward to presenting a Latin musical comedy for the delectation of the entire College, and we can vouch for the fact that the College is looking for¬ ward to it with equal eagerness.

Las sodas conocen tan bien el idioma que es un verdadero placer conversar sobre todos los topicos imaginables y discutir problemas del dia, especialmente aquellos de caracter espanol. En una de estas reuniones asistimos a una interesantisima conferencia titulada “ Eres paginas de la vida de Alfonso XIII.” En la pantalla vimos fotografias mientras escuchabamos un ameno relato de la vida del rey espanol: la Visita de los Reyes al Santo Padre, y La Actuacion de Alfonso XIII durante la Guerra Mundial, todo lo cual sirvio para aumentar nuestro conocimiento e interes en los asuntos de Espana. En otra sesion “El Gaucho Argentino” Pintado por Quires nos intereso muchi- simo, y al finalizar el Curso pasado en Mayo, tuvimos en favor de los pobres sin trabajo una funcion para la cual invitamos a distinguidas familias latinas. “Sangre Gorda” de los Quinte ros, fue interpretada por Elena Hidalgo (hoy Senora de Serralles) y Seida Portal, con verdadero exito. Un efusivo “gracias,” a Nena Bel¬ monte y a su hermano Pepe por su valiosa contribucion en el Tango. El Bade de los Mantones fue una nueva ovacion para Renee Gonzalez y Elena Hidalgo. En suma, una fiestecita simpatica y . . . . con un buen resultado practice. Y, ahora, tenemos en preparacion hermosos cuadros plasticos, unos coros de zar¬ zuelas que hacen esperar una soiree muy agradable. Al terminar este relato seanos permitido hacer constar lo mucho que “El Club Espanol” agradece y aprecia la inteligente y abnegada labor de su Presidenta por dos anos consecutivos, la Srta. Carmen de Arango. [ Page ninety-four ] LE CERCLE FRAN AIS Standing: Left to Right —Eleanor Deschenes, Claire Gibson, Frances Connolly, Esther McCarthy. Sitting: Left to Right —Consuelo Calvari, Alesia Garcia (vice-president), Mary Illyne (presi¬ dent), Catherine Witherspoon. Hjp (Emit ' JffranratH Cette annee, le Cercle Frangais a pris une forme plus officielle. Les membres ont d’abord preside a une election des officieres. Marie Illyne est la presidente, Alesia Garcia, vice-presidente; Catherine Witherspoon, tresoriere; et Consuelo Calvari, sec¬ retaire. Cette annee, aussi, nous avons eu une innovation: plusieurs receptions, le soir, dans le salon des Seniors; nous y invitames les etudiantes des hautes classes frangaieses qui ne pouvaient pas etre membres du Cercle, mais qui ont une grande estime pour tout ce qu’il represente. II sera, peut-etre, interessant d’exposer quelques-uns des sujets traites en conver¬ sation. Les questions de la politique actuelle qui touchent a l’Histoire contemporainc; l’art, le theatre, l’opera, le cinema et les livres. L’un des membres nous a entretenues de Bourdel et du nouveau musee Bourdel a Paris; un autre, des operas du Metro- politain de New-York. Les discussions du Cercle sont marquees par les caracteristiques des membres. Marie Illyne parle avec son bon gout et traduit les passages trop difficiles pour les autres. Alesia Garcia s’exprime toujours avec sa vivacite d’Amercaine du Sud sur les affaires politiques, montrant sa facilite pour les fines epigrammes. Catherine Wither¬ spoon raconte, avec un choix discret, les evenements du monde du theatre. Eleanor Deschenes prend n’importe quel cote d’une discussion pour la joie de donner defmitive- ment son opinion. Claire Gibson parle avec sagesse des philosophes et de la litterature; Helen Collins, des choses scientifiques. Frances Connolly nous donne, de sa douce voix, ses idees sur toutes sortes de sujets. Esther McCarthy a de l’interet pour les choses modernes, et Mary-Kay O’Connor nous exprime toujours ses pensees d une fagon inimitable. [ Page ninety-five ] 1 11 ® tj c ® o lit p r 33 Tout Ic monde dit qu’une des choscs lcs plus charmantes de l’annee etait la piece frangaise, une comedie de Rostand “Les Romanesques,” une ‘‘parodie infame” de Romeo et Juliette, comme le dit lui-meme le heros. Le charme de l’execution fut une belle simplicite. Les actrices se comportaient, dans leurs costumes du XVIII? siecle, exactement comme si elles avaient passe une grande partie de la vie dans un jardin de ce temps. Elles n’etaient pas des personnages, mais des caracteres, qu’on ne pourraient oublier, tel le ‘‘bon Bergamin,” et Straforel, le terrible spadassin. On ne peut pas passer sous silence la scene qui jcuait un role aussi charmant que celui des actrices. Dans ce jardin-la les lleurs semblaient croitre et s’ouvrir sous les yeux. Pour la premiere fois, on invita a la piece les etudiantes residant a New-York qui avaient fait la plus haute classe de frangais. La soiree fut vraiment un couronnement de Taction du Cercle Frangais pendant l’annee scolarie 1932-1933. 31 (Etrwln 3taltana Le studenti d’italiano, le sole che possano far parte del Circolo Italiano, sono tutte dei tipi assolutamente differenti. Di origine spagnuola, italiana, polacca, inglese e americana, hanno le caratteristiche di tutte queste nazionalita. 11 Circolo non ha pre- tensioni a cose estranee alia sua precisa intenzione, cioe di perfezionarsi nella con¬ versazione italiana. Sentiamo forse una certe minuscola vanita perche non ci serviamo mai delle nostre piccole conferenze che hanno luogo due volte la settimana per altro che il discutere su tutti i soggetti possibili che hanno interesse tanto per noi individual- mente quanto per la societa. Non si fanno hanchetti, non si balla, si parla sempre. Qualche volta facciamo dei giochi molti divertenti, e uno che passasse vicino alia porta potrebbe udire delle voci ridenti gridare in mezzo ad una partita: “io sono un cane,” o “io sono un ippopotamo,” o “io sono un cane-ippopotamo.” Cosi si vede che noi ci divertiamo molto anche quando, o forse perche, parliamo la h lla lingua d’ltalia.

AtljlHir Aaanriatton The Athletic Association indulged in a very full curriculum. Besides the regular routine matters which are of obligation to the organization, new and inspiring features were introduced to the college under its supervision. As a fitting token of their addi¬ tional activities during the year the A. A. members received gold charms to be worn as a distinguishing emblem. On November 15th, the organization originated a Song and Cheer Contest which was a source of pleasure to the contestants as well as to the audience. The honors of the evening were awarded to the Freshmen and the Seniors. The Freshmen gained merit for their rendition of the usual college song as well as for the most original song written to a well-known tune. ' The Seniors scored by rendering the best cheer of the evening and by offering the prize song, the music of which was written by Esther McCarthy and the words by Barbara Mathis. On the week-end of April first and second, a precedent was inaugurated which, without question, will be the occasion for many good times in the future, namely the Alumnae Athletic Reunion which was sponsored by the Athletic Association under the guidance of Mother Heinsler, the Faculty Adviser for Athletics. Many graduates attended and many friendships were renewed. Some of the attractions offered were: a basketball game between the Alumnae and Varsity teams; a basket-ball banquet in the evening, after which the Senior Class presented a very enjoyable play that was pronounced excellent by the audience. On Sunday morning, the Benziger Building was open to all, and Alumnae and non-Alumnae indulged in frenzied games of ping- pong, bowling, and so forth. In the afternoon, an inter-class swimming meet was arranged as an exhibition; the Seniors gained the most points, with the Freshmein coming in second. The Reunion ended at a tea served after the meet, and it was with deep regret that we allowed our Alumnae to depart.

Rain, for the most part, was responsible for putting a damper on hockey activities by causing the cancellation of many scheduled games. Of three games that were played, two were victories and the third a defeat—the first black mark against a Manhattan¬ ville hockey team in nine years. In spite of the fact that everyone felt badly, this defeat was conceded to be no disgrace, and it enables next year’s team to look forward to the inauguration of a new and longer succession of undefeated seasons. Because of the large number of freshmen available for Varsity material, this seems to be a highly certain probability, and it is this fact that accounted for the prevailing optimism of the Hockey-banquet guests. The games played were: Mt. St. Vincent Alumnae vs. Manhattanville. 1—11 North Jersey Club vs. Manhattanville. 3— 1 Brooklyn Club vs. Manhattanville. 0— 2 The annual banquet was the scene of much merriment in which many former Manhattanville athletes participated. The guests of honor were: Sally O’Byrne, ’30; Margaret Sefton, ’30; Betty Sherwood, ’32; Margaret Martin, ’32; Mary Perkins, ’32; Anne Emilie Schmidt, ’32. The freshmen received the Hockey-cup for the inter-class games, and both the Freshmen and the Juniors won recognition for having won the sister class game. Janet von Brecht and Anne Grogan received gold hockey pins for having played on the Varsity Hockey team for four years. The Hockey-Manager pin was awarded to Keith Jenkins. Those who received Varsity letters were: Right Wing .Peggy Krull Right Inside .Sallie O’Donoghue Center Forward ..’.Marion Sullivan Left Inside .Kitty Midgley, Captain Left Wing .Mary Alice Mangan, Rosemary McCann Right Half .Eloise McElroy, Marjorie O’Connor Center Half .Janet von Brecht Left Half .Helen Cusick, Keith Jenkins Right Fullback .Anne Grogan Left Fullback ...Margie Delone, Mary Derham Goal .Florence Mooney [ Page one hundred and one ] [ Page one hundred and two ] VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: Left to Right —Rita McCann, Constance Dillon, Madeleine Pascual, Margaret McEvoy, Sallie O’Donoghue, Mary Alice Mangan. Kneeling: Left to Right —Marjorie Delone, Marion Sullivan, Mary Kay O’Connor (captain), Anne Grogan, Catherine Midgley. 19 alouipr 33 HaakpthaU Manhattanville has experienced a record basketball season, having passed through it with no defeat, for the first time in her annals. This accomplishment has been the goal of many teams and until now, has never been realized. Outstanding features of this year’s team were its team work and beautifully-timed passes. The highlight of the season was the game with Mt. St. Joseph’s of Philadelphia—fast becoming Man- hattanville’s traditional rival. Here, a well-earned victory was scored that made the 1932 basketball season a real success. Game; were: New York Field Association vs. Manhattanville. 9-19 Mount St. Joseph’s vs. Manhattanville . 10—20 St. Joseph’s College vs. Manhattanville . 15-—27 Hunter College vs. Manhattanville. 24—54 Hunter College Alumnae vs. Manhattanville. 17—41 Manhattanville Alumnae vs. Manhattanville. 14—50 The Varsity team comprised: Right Forward .Mary Alice Mangan, Marion Sullivan Left Forward ...Peggy McEvoy, Catherine Midgley Jump-Center .Madeleine Pascual, Margie Delone Side Center .Mary Kay O’Connor, Captain, Constance Dillon Right Guard .Anne Grogan, Rita McCann Left Guard .Sallie O’Donoghue On the afternoon of April first, the Varsity proceeded to take an Alumnae team in hand and show them the reason for Manhattanville’s unmarred record. It must be admitted that “the veterans” bore up remarkably, not even deigning to ask for their full quota of “time-out.” The season ended officially on April 1st at a ban quet that was well attended by both Alumnae and College members and at the close of which the presentation of the basketball cup to the Seniors, met with hearty applause. This was the first time that a team ever succeeded in winning the trophy for four successive years. Likewise, when Mary Kay O’Connor was toasted as captain of the Varsity and received a gold basketball for her four years service, a sentiment of genuine enthusiasm prevailed. Ruth Slattery shared in the honors of the day when she re¬ ceived a pin for her successful management of the season. | Rage one hundred and three ] SWIMMING CLUB Standing: Left to Right —Mary Jo Corral, Janet von Brecht, Margaret Bannin.

May 28 —The Classical Club presented “Aulularia,” a three-act comedy by Plautus. It was a comedy in the fullest sense of the word, and as we watched Louisa Popham, the miser, threatens his old housekeeper with a torrent of fluent Latin invectives, our admiration knew no bounds for those who had mastered so perfectly the difficult language. June 5—Baccalaureate Sunday. The sermon was delivered by the Right Reverend Joseph H. McMahon, D.D., at the Missa Cantata which was followed by the traditional procession of Seniors and Sophomores carrying the Daisy Chain.
