Ann Carroll Baxter Convent of the Sacred Heart Eden Hall, Pennsylvania “ They laugh that win.” 1 here is such a world of difference between a realist and a modern pagan, between one who sees life as it really is, composed of both spiritual and material elements, and one who strives to see only the material. The latter is inclined to cynicism, the former to healthy good humor that gives rise to sincere infectious laughter even at one’s own expense. Ann Carroll is such a realist, endowed with a keen sense of humor, a fine sense of honor, and above all a sane view of life, a firm faith in the eternal values. She is smartly modern, but not brittle; she is clear-sighted but not disillusioned. In short, she is “Annie ’ to us, and we are her friends. 20 1935 Choir ' 32; Club Espanol ’35; Debating Club 33, ’34, ’35 ; Essay Board ' 35 ; Tower Board ’34; Glee Club ’32, ’33; Medical Unit ’32, ’33; Swimming Team ’33; Thumb Tack Club ’32, ’33; Pitch Pipe Club 35; Sociology Club ’35; Dramatic Association ’32, 33, 34, ’35, Vice-President 34, President 35 ; Class Hockey Team ’34, ’35; Class Basketball Team ’35. Rosalie Breen, E. de M. D ominican Academy New York City, New York Form’d by thy converse happily to steer From grave to gay, from lively to severe; Correct with spirit, eloquent with ease, Intent to reason, or polite to please. ’ Delightful and gay as a debutante, wise and able as a trained executive—whether Rosalie be efficiently directing a dramatic rehearsal or winsomely playing “Meg,” she is equally at her ease. A scale in perfect balance: so she is symbolized for us: intelligent conversation, wise management, skillful debating in one measure, in the other, dramatic talent, sympathetic charm, gay gracefulness. We may truly say of her, “a modern whose life is moulded on the age-old truths.” 21 T OWER Betty Brown, E. de M. Cathedral High School New York City, New York Thumb Tack Club ’35; Club Espanol ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35. “His pencil was striking, resistless and grand; His manners were gentle, complying, and bla?id.” A pastel drawing of a few dainty roses arranged in a blue vase—and the artist of symbol might say “Voila Betty.” And she herself might draw such a picture—we have seen the finely-drawn sketches that have been her work and our delight at Manhattan- ville. We have admired her womanliness, applauded her loyalty, and marveled at her talents. Disciple of true beauty, she has found a lasting place in the art gallery of Man- hattanville—not through her artistic triumphs alone but through her generous love and kindly spirit. 22 1935 Choir ' 32; Debating Club ’33; Dramatic Association 33, ’34; Tower Board ’34; Thumb Taclc Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Glee Club ’32; French Play ’34; Class Hockey Team ’33; Vice- President of Class ’33, ’34, ’35; Vice-Presi¬ dent of Student Government ’35. Betty Bruce, E. de M. Academy of the Sacred Heart Grosse Pointe, Michigan “Like a white ca7idle hi a holy place.” An atmosphere of quiet peace that is found only where there is deep faith and strong love is what we have come to associate with Betty. Her integrity has been rooted in the deep conviction of truth and has been actualized by an unswerving loyalty to duty and ideals. Gracious in her executive office, strong in her womanliness, tender in her kindness, quiet in her godliness, she has been like a steady flame, a glowing candle, lighting and brightening many hearts at Manhattanville. 23 T 0 W E R Dramatic Association ’32, ’33; Thumb Tack Club ’33; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Cir- colo Italiano ’34, 35. Anna Cocuzza Saint Lawrence Academy New York City, New York “Age cannot wither nor custom stale her infinite variety. ' ' Anna’s unusual personality combines the intensity of the South and the composure of the North. An offhand manner conceals her singularly gifted mind; a lovely voice, which few have had the privilege to hear because she is so unassuming, and a genius for poetry, are evidences of a rare and artistic nature. When her friendship is won it is esteemed because of her independence and discriminating taste. No one knows quite what to expect from Anna, though it is felt that when she speaks, her point of view, however original, will be worth while. 24 1935 Choir ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Club Espanol ’34, ’35; Dramatic Association ’32; Feast Com¬ mittee ’35; Glee Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Medical Unit ’32; Thumb Tack Club ’32, ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35 President; Or¬ chestra ’32, ’33, ’34. Mary Mooney Danaher, E. DE M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Kemvood, Albany, New York “Alnsic resembles poetry: in each Are nameless ( races which no methods teach And which a master hand alone can reach. Far from being a flighty temperamental artist in her talent for music, Alary— Dannie to her intimates—is the ever-dependable, self-effacing musician who can delight her audience with selections from Schubert, Schumann, or whatever composer has been chosen for the evening. It is to her that we owe the founding of the “Pitch Pipe Club ' where non-talented music lovers can mingle with the talented pianists without too great an inferiority complex. The general recognition of her ability claimed her for the presidency of the club. But Mary’s talent is not limited to music. She has the art of being a true friend. Whatever mood yours may be, Mary is your companion in joy or sorrow, mischief or duty. As life would indeed be dull without music, so life here at Manhattanville will not be quite as full of harmony when Mary leaves us. 25 T 0 V E R Class Council ’35; Debating Club ’32; Es¬ say Board ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35 ; Tea Dance Committee ’35 Chairman; Thumb Tack Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Tower Board ' 34; Dramatic Association ’32; Ping Pong Club ’32; Medical Unit ’32. Kathleen Dempsey, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Madison Avenue, New York, New York “I dare do all that may become a man: Who dares do more is none.” We are inclined to associate sophistication with a certain coldness of nature, a dis¬ regard for the old faith and, quite frequently, unkindness. But now we have found a sophisticate who is none of these things, who is warm in her friendship, strong in her grasp of truth, tender in her sympathy. But more, a sophisticate who claims acquaint¬ ance with the best of the “litterati,” who can herself write beautiful and simple Chris¬ tian verse—such a modern is Kay. She has brought refreshment and stimulating humor to Manhattanville, and since we cannot conceive of her apart from Ann Carroll, to them both we say, “Don’t let a thing ever change you.” 26 1935 Class Council ’35; Classical Club 33, ’34, ’35, Secretary-Treasurer ’35; Debating Club ’33, ’34, ’35; Dramatic Association ’33, ’34, ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’33, ’34, ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Philosophy Club ’35; Cercle Francais ’35; Club Espanol ’34, ’35 ; Choir ’34, ’35 ; Scout Troop ’35 ; Class Hockey Team ’34; Class Basketball Team ’34; French Play ’35; Latin Play ’34, 35. Leo Diehl, E. de M. Ambler High School Pennsylvania “His words arc bonds, his oaths are oracles; His love sincere, his thoughts immaculate.” Have you ever seen a beacon light glowing in a tall white tower, high above a turbulent sea, a light that comforts storm-tossed sailors and weary watchers on the shore? There is security in the golden light, and to those who have the “seeing eye,” there is often romance and the fine web of which the dreamer weaves his fancies. Through all the years such a light will recall Leo, her idealism, her efficiency, her romanticism. Lor Leo, staunch friend and brilliant scholar, we ask but one gift-— may the gods keep her ever high in her pure white tower, above the deceits of men. 27 T 0 W E R Thumb Tack Club ’32; Athletic Associa¬ tion ’34, ’35, Manager ’35; Varsity Hockey Team ’34, ’35; Class Hockey Team ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Varsity Basketball Team ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Winner of the Gold Basket¬ ball ’35; Class Swimming Team ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Varsity Tennis Team ’33, 34, ’35, Captain ' 34, ’35; Winner of Tennis Cup ’34. Constance Dillon, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Maplehurst, New York “With thy clear, keen joyance Languor cannot be.’’ There is one thing about Connie, she seems to have no trouble in synthesizing apparent contradictions: brilliant French essays and six-love, six-love, six-love tennis sets are, generally speaking, antithetical, but Connie attacks both with a light-hearted grin. There are also many other things about Connie: she not only does things, but is someone—a very grand person. She not only thinks but feels; and hers is the rare gift of handing out happiness (to others) with both hands. 28 1935 Choir ' 32; Debating Club ’32, ’34, ’35, Vice-President ’35; Public Debate 34; Editor of the Tower ’34; Essay Board ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’34, ’35; Class Council ’33, ’34, ’35; College Welfare Committee ’33, ’34, ’35; Catholic Action ’33. Elizabeth Donnelly, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Grosse Pointe, Michigan “Blest with each talent and each art to please And horn to write, converse, and live with ease.” Ibby’s droll comments cover every subject from Keats to baseball leagues, and these extremes, as her admitted hobbies, receive a particular share of her enthusiasm. Even her witticisms show her extraordinary knowledge of each topic she mentions, and her brilliant mind is one of the boasts of the class of 1935. Ability in debating and active service on “Welfare” will preserve the memory of Ibby and her talents for future “Manhattanvillans.” 29 T 0 W E R Mary Finan Academy of the Holy Child New York, New York Ping Pong Club ’32. “For his bounty, There teas no winter in it; an autumn ’twas That grew the more by reaping.’’ A wide smile and two cheerful brown eyes—that is one’s first impression of Mary. And contrary to most precedents, first impressions are right in her case: she is always the same. One never sees her glum or despondent. With undaunted pluck, she has managed to complete her college course, despite two serious breakdowns in her health. Nothing can stop her if she keeps that spirit throughout the rest of her life. She has the engaging friendliness of a puppy, but there is much more to her sociability than that; behind it is the warmth of a very human nature. 30 1935 Clavian Club ’33, ' 34, ’35, Vice-President ’34, ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’34, ’35; Classical Club ’34, ’35; Sociology Club ’35; Club Espanol ’34, ’35; Latin Play ’34. Mary Freehill, E. de M. Cathedral High School New York, New York “IFhence is thy learning? Hath toil O’er books consumed the midnight oil?” Well may we ask the question of a certain dark-haired, slim and very lively Senior —with her Calculus, Electricity, Physics, tutoring and other activities we have had whisperings of—not to mention the social whirl that we always associate with this rushing Mary. Mathematics is her forte, over which waves the flag of determination and in which steadily burn choice ideals of Manhattanville, cherished from the begin¬ nings of the short three and one-half years that she has been with us. We see Mary in the near future and say, “Teachers men honor, learners they allure.” We will miss her, but now all we can say is: “Happy landings in your field of endeavor.” 31 T 0 W E R Mary Virginia Geoghegan, E. DE M. Academy of the Sacred Heart Clifton, Cincinnati, Ohio Thumb Tack Club ’34, ’35; Club Espanol ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Class Council ’35. ‘And scatter like the circling sun, Thy charities on all.” In a quiet, unassuming manner, and in an incredibly short time, Mary Virginia and the twinkle in her eye were well-established in the hearts of her classmates. Now we wonder how her class managed before they were enriched by the contagious laugh and apt comments which are Mary Virginia’s. Her sympathy is as quickly aroused as her mirth, and she is the happy possessor of every word which can lighten the burden of a sad heart. 32 1 935 Debating Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35, Public Debate ’35; Thumb Tack Club ' 32, ’33, ' 34, ’35, Secretary-Treasurer ’33, Vice-President ’34, President ’35; Class Swimming Team ’32, ’33, ’34; Classical Club ’33, ’34, ’35; Manager of Basketball ’34; Tower Board ’34; Catholic Action Committee ’34, ’35, Chairman ’35; Class Council ’34; Class Basketball Team ’34, ’35; Class Hockey Team ’35; Cercle Fran- cais ’35; Welfare Committee member-at- large ’35. Jane Hassett, E. de M. Academy of the Sacred Heart Rochester, New York “IVho is it that says mostf Which can more Than this rich praise,—that you alone are you?’’ If energy and chronic joviality could be personified, the finished portrait would surely have dancing brown eyes, and an individual personality very closely approaching Jane’s. For proof of her zeal, Manhattanville has only to look at the increased interest of the college in Catholic Action; the Thumb Tack Club evidences her ingenuity. Jane is liable to be anywhere at any time, doing anything. Her every action is lifted from the commonplace by its essential “Janeness,” the quality so dear to Manhattanville. 33 Tower Zaida Marie Jones, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Eden Hall, Pennsylvania Debating Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35, Recording Secretary ’33, ’34, President ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35, Vice-President; Cercle Francais 35, Secretary; Club Espanol ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’34, ’35; Dramatic Association ’33, ’34; Tower Board ’34, Advertising Manager; Class Council ’33, ’34; Public Debate ’35; French Play ’35; Class Hockey Team ’33, ’34; Class Basketball Team ’33; Tea Dance Committee ’33, ’34, ’35; Phil¬ osophy Club ’35. “A hand to do, a head to plan, A heart to feel and dare.” Someone once said, “If you want a thing well done do it yourself.” The best alternative is to ask Zaida to do it for you. Her generosity will prompt her to say “Yes, and her thoroughness will make you wonder if the old maxim was not just a little mistaken. Her ability evidenced by her work as President of the Debating Club, combined with a deep appreciation of the beautiful in music, makes Zaida a person we should not miss knowing. 34 1935 Class Hockey Team ’33, ’34, ’35; Class Basketball Team ’33, ’34, ’35; Club Espa- nol ’34, ' 35; Sociology Club ’35. Edna Earthaus, E. de M. Saint Joseph’s Academy New York, New York “You are like balm, enclosed well In amber or some crystal shell.’’ A chic appearance, a friendly smile impossible to resist, a gift for making quick and caustic remarks that amuse everyone, and a steady devotion to work—that is Edna. Every act she performs is done with boundless energy and concentration, whether it be a basketball game or a sociology paper, whether she is making a “fourth” at the bridge table or grasping some abstract philosophical question. But in spite of this ability to apply herself so seriously to each activity, Edna is always ready to contribute her share to the general fun. 03 T OWER Club Espanol ’34, ’35; Catholic Action Committee ’35; Col lege Welfare Commit¬ tee ’34, Day Student Representative; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Sociology Club ’35. Vera Larkin, E. de M. Saint Laurence Academy New York, New York Days that in spite Of darkness, by the light Of a clear mind, are day all night.” Vera is a college-woman in every sense of the word, for there is nothing childish or superficial in her nature. She is dignified and self-possessed and she has a penetrating mind. In an argument she listens with a grave smile to her opponents and then quietly pushes all that is futile and trivial aside, and, taking the basic principles of the question, breaks down the whole defense. An absorbing interest in her work fulfills the natural excellence of her mind. 36 1935 Dramatic Association ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35 ; De¬ bating Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Clavian Club ’34, ’35, President ’35; Ping Pong Club ’32; Varsity Hockey Squad ’33, ’34, 35, Manager ’34; Varsity Hockey Team ’35, Captain ’35; Class Basketball Team ’34, ’35, Captain ’34, ’35; Class Hockey Team ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Ring Committee ’34; Club Espanol ’35; Philosophy Club ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’32, ’33; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Choir ’32. Eileen Leahy, E. de M. Academy of the Sacred Heart Madison Avenue, New York, New York ' Things won are done; joy’s soul lies in the doing.’’ Eileen is almost enigmatic. One might never guess that the seriously questioning student could otherwise caper Puck-like through the four years of college life. For Eileen somehow suggests Puck. Whimsical, jesting, she has found many friends here at college, and in the very finding has proven herself to be more than merely ga y. She can debate, act, and captain a victorious hockey team, with equal finesse. And so, though no one has seemed able to solve the enigma, perhaps it is true that no one wants to, for the puzzle of Eileen is a charming one, which, defying solution, utterly captivates anyone who tries. 37 T 0 W E R Class Hockey Team ’35; Choir ’32; Dra¬ matic Association ’32, ’33; Feast Commit¬ tee ’35; German Play ’33; Medical Unit ’32; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Swimming Team ’34; Thumb Tack Club ’35. Mary MacDonald, E. de M. Sarnia Collegiate Institute Sarnia, Ontario “ Strong souls “Live like fire-heated suns to spend their strength In furthest striving action.” A true child of Canada, as well as a beloved Senior of Manhattanville, is “Mac.” Straightforward, unafraid, direct in the real Scotch manner, “fighting the good fight,” she has come to symbolize that courage and steadfastness that we are accustomed to associate with her country. And if she has found courage in the snow and ice and bracing winds, she found there too a characteristic spirit of hospitality, a deep and appreciative love of the poets of all nations. Mary, true Scotsman, true Canadian, true alumna of Manhattanville, undauntedly facing obstacles, will succeed in whatever she undertakes. 38 1935 Classical Club ’33, ’34, 35, Secretary-Treas¬ urer ’34, President ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Choir ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Dramatic Association ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Swimming Club ’32; Class Swimming Team ’34; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Philosophy Club ’35; Tower Board ’34; Essay Board ’35; Students’ Book Monopoly Club Re¬ viewing Committee ’35; Cercle Francais ’35; Scout Troop ' 32, ’33, ’34; Feast Com¬ mittee ’35. Mary McCarty, E. de M. Saint Mary’s Academy Ogdensburg, New York “Rare compound of poetry, frolic and fun, Relished a joke and rejoiced at a pun. ' ' Mary laughs her way through life like an affable pixie, transferred to this world by mistake. Nothing escapes her droll sense of humor, even our friends Horace and Livy—and her elfin glee expresses itself in an infectious giggle that is famous for being irrepressible at the wrong moment. To this abundant gift of laughter and merriment she adds an energetic enthusiasm and a true poetic vein. The buoyancy and charm of such a many-faceted personality cannot help but be long remembered at Manhattan- ville. 39 T OWER Editor-in-Chief of the Essay ’35; Tower Hoard ’34; Students’ Book Monopoly Re¬ viewing Committee ’35; Debating Club ’33, ’34, ’35, Executive Committee ’35; Classi¬ cal Club ’33, ’34, ’35 ; Dramatic Association ’35; Club Espanol ’35; Philosophy Club ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ' 35. Marie Monahan, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Madison Avenue, New York, New York ‘ ' Enough; arid leave the. rest to fame; ’Tis to commend her, hut to name.” What one notices first about Marie is her interest and enthusiasm for any problem or topic of the day. She has tremendous energy for gathering odd and obscure bits of information to add to her fund of knowledge and she does not stop here; she can write in alwost any vein, serious or light. But she is not loved for these achievements alone. In her capacity as Editor of the Essay she combines power of criticism with patience and kindness and is ever ready to offer a helpful but tactful suggestion. One is apt to find her around any corner, earnestly discussing some fine point of History or Literature, or, at tea, readily, with an ingenuous grin, entering into a new argument. 40 1935 Dramatic Association ’32, ’33; Tea Dance Committee ’32, ’33; Class Council ’34, ’35; Business Manager of the Tower ’34; Busi¬ ness Manager of the Essay ’35; Varsity Hockey Team ’33; Catholic Action Com¬ mittee ’35; Class Hockey Team ’33; Thumb Tack Club ’32. Florence Mooney, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Kenwood, Albany, New York “All pleasures and all pains , remembering The bough of summer and the winter branch, These are the measures destined for her soul.” Florence will not stay on the monotonous level of safety. Hers is a soul and a nature that takes all things in its stride; and there is a strong, hard grain of practicality in it, too, that enabled her to be the Business Manager of both the Tower and the Essay in her Junior and Senior years respectively. She does not look back and sigh—she forges ahead, knowing that the world is hers, and that she can understand its message and its beauty. For her life is a colorful thing, and always will be. She faces the future on tiptoe, and greets everything that comes with the same wide, gay, challenging smile. 41 T 0 W E R Mary Ursula Morris, E. de M.

Her two feet stand firmly on the earth, and yet she seems amused to find them so in this rocketing world. Her bright, serious eyes speak, and they do more than that; they absorb the colour and life of the world around them and concentrate it into one blue blaze. Her wit is sparkling and has the pellucid depth that in nature is found only in jewels. Her direct and clear judgments cleave all her difficulties in two, and many that are not hers. And she can face whatever comes with serenity. 42 1935 Dramatic Association ’32; Pitch Pipe Club ’35. Rita Murphy Saint Lawrence Academy New York, New York “Bronze hair, the throat of one flying Level eyes scourging fear.” We have always regarded Rita as a perfect example of good tact, coupled with a certain dash all her own. She is reserved—and carries her head high, with an uncon¬ scious dignity, refreshing in these days of turbulent gaiety. She is tall and proud and easy with accomplishment-—but she is not aloof. She listens to one with a flattering attention. And she treats language with respect; she says words with every courtesy to each of them. Rita knows the worth of things, and is impartial. She has her own inner citadel, but more often than not, the drawbridge is down. 43 T OWER Debating Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Class Hockey Team ’32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Class Basketball Team ’32, ’33, ’34; Class Swimming Team ’32, ’33; Public Debate ’34; Tower Board ’34; Glee Club ’34; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Varsity Hockey Team ’35; Vice-President of Class Fall of ’32, President Spring of ' 33, President ’34, President of Student Government ’35. Ann Murray, E. de M. Villa Duchesne Saint Louis, Missouri Her face is like the spoken word When brave men speak and choose. The very color of her coat Is better than good news.” Ann’s exalted position as President of Student Government does not obscure her personality. We have loved having her, but all through these last months a sad little thought was saying—no Ann next year. But we will not forget her. That could never be. When she smiles two candles light up her eyes, and when she is grave, as befits her duties, there is no gainsaying those same eyes. Hers is that inner splendour that can transmute the world; and with her thoughts she gaily invades the upper reaches of knowledge. For such a little thing her head is very near the stars. 44 1935 Cercle Francais ’35; Class Hockey Team ’32; Club Espanol ’34, ’35; Dramatic Asso¬ ciation ’32; French Play ’34; Medical Unit ’32; Spanish Play ’33, ’34; Tower Board ’34; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Ring Committee ’34; Ping Pong Club ’32. “Because the memhraned wings So wonderful, so wide So sun-suffused, ivere things Like soul and nought beside.” Margs has always reminded us of a humming-bird, colorful, flashing from one place to another (and in playing basketball she all but Hies) with energy and definite despatch. But although she has a humming-bird’s bright gaiety, she has not its naive carefreeness. She is most remarkably efficient—and very busy, but never too busy to dart into one of her humorous sallies. She possesses laughter as well as a keen judg¬ ment. Hers is the far-seeing wisdom of her time, tempered with a very real sweetness, and a very lovable aptitude for saying the right thing at exactly the right time. Margaret Myers, E. de M.

To those who know Gerry even slightly, is presented a picture of the essence of graciousness. For hers is a quick charm that in no way asserts itself, and is only best felt when Gerry finds herself among those whom she feels to be truly sympathetic. Her interests have been both humane and artistic. The Missionary Society teas found in Gerry an ardent devotee who is at once the idealist and the most practical of realists, as the annual Bridge so ably testified. A shy sense of humor which pops up intermittently in no way detracts from the dignity and queenliness which is hers, and in fact, we think it one of the ways by which Geraldine, with charming simplicity, has completely won our hearts. 46 1 935 Cercle Francais ’35; Club Espanol 35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Ping Pong Club ’32; Class Hockey Team ' 32, ’33, 35; Varsity Hockey Team ’33; Tea Dance Committee ’34, ’35; Dramatic Association ’32; Feast Committee ’35; French Play ’35; Ring Committee ’34. Marjorie O’Connor, E. de M. Convent of the Saered Heart Kenwood, Albany, New York “There he none of Beauty’s daughters With a magic like to thee.” “Blithe” is the adjective that leaps to the mind when one first beholds Marjorie. Delicate fragility sheathes a tempered strength. Her loveliness has a Celtic wonder about it, but her handling of F rench verbs is anything but vague. She seems to have stumbled upon the secret of youth’s glad eagerness and to have locked it safe in her heart. Hers is a sunny presence whose going will leave a corresponding darkness in our days. 47 T 0 W E R Sallie O’Donoghue, E. de M.

No field of activity has been outside her sphere of endeavor, and in each she has exhibited the same ability and standard of excellence. May this versatility that has characterized her college work and play be as evident in her future under¬ takings, and more—may the charming Sallie, true to her ideals, straight-forward in her thinking, logical in her arguments, remain through all the years as we know her today. 48 1 935 Varsity Hockey Squad ’34; Club Espanol ’34, ’35; Thumb Tack Club ’34, 35.

Virginia Seymour, E. de M. Memorial High School Pelham, New York A mind content both crown and kingdom is A There are few persons who are as completely wrapped up in such a variety of things as is Virginia. Dramatics find in her a staunch and able champion, and many clubs are aided by her loyal devotion. Virginia is likewise a leader, as her Girl Scout troop can testify, and in this happy combination perhaps we can discover the secret of her many enthusiasms. For Ginnie will help in the meanest kind of work, or she will accept the whole responsibility of the success of a venture. Thus it is that we feel that this wholeheartedness of Virginia’s is not only a matter of mere college spirit, but that it portends success in even greater things. It is with this thought in mind that we wish her much luck and happiness. 50 1935 Choir ’32; Club Espanol ’34, ’35, President ’35; Dramatic Association ’32, 33; Chair¬ man of the Band Box Committee ’35; De¬ bating Club ’32, ’33, ’34; Feast Committee ’35; Hostess ’35; Glee Club ’32, ’33; Med¬ ical Unit ’32; Thumb Tack Club ' 32, ’33, ’34, ’35; Spanish Play ’33; Tower Board ’34; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Girl Scout Troop Committee ’33, ’34.

Anyone needing a cos¬ tume for a play will, at the last minute, find Mercedes “a friend indeed.” And she gives her time with such gusto and friendliness that the harassed person at once feels at ease. She can always find an audience for her renditions of Chopin and others upon the piano. In fact, her audience is forever clamouring for her. 51 Tower Kathleen Whitfield, E. de M.

And as her patience, endeavor, and eager good will have stood the test of the Greek and Latin classics, who are we to say her nay? Katie’s ener¬ getic “joie de vivre” will be missed, for with her own characteristic bouncy walk, she has bounced right into our hearts—not only for a few years, but unforgettably. 52 1935 Missionary Association, Class Representa¬ tive ’32, ’33, 34, President ’35; Class Coun¬ cil ’33, ’34; Tower Board ’34; Essay Board ’35; Choir ' 32, ’33, ’34, ’35, President ’34, ’35; Classical Club ’33, ’34, ’35; Debating Club ’32, ’35; Dramatic Association ’33, ’34; Thumb Tack Club ’34, ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35; Cercle Frangais ’35; II Cir- colo Italiano ’35; Latin Play ’33; French Play ’35; Clavian Club ’34. Elizabeth Wilmot, E. de M. Villa Maria Convent Montreal, Canada “Her voice was ever soft Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.” Executive ability in a Watteau figurine—will power in a china shepherdess, that is the paradox that Baba presents to us. Behind an appearance of fragile femininity she conceals a strength of conviction and persuasive power that are the more irresistible for being unexpected. This combination is beyond all, arresting; for, whereas her outward charms are immediately appealing—the revelation of such an unexpected depth of inner qualities holds that which was at first but superficially attracted, and binds irrevocably all whose privilege it is to know her. 53 Wsm T 0 W E R Katharine Jeanne Wilson, E. de M.

Ilcr ways are ways of loveliness And all her paths are peace.’ ' Upon Manhattanville’s long list of “good companions” we are proud to mention Jeanne. We value the fund of gaiety and dry wit she conceals behind that reticent, unruffled appearance; we envy her ability to creep unnoticed into one’s friendship through her evenly amiable disposition—her never-failing sociability. Like Horace’s famous “fons Bandusiae” she is as a clear and limpid spring of simplicity and whole¬ someness in a complex and sophisticated world. 54 1935 THE SENIOR CLASS T HE social season at Manhattanville was opened by the Seniors with their annual Hallowe’en party in the Benziger Building. A spectral atmosphere was provided by the appearance of the spirits of figures prominent in the world of current events. The secret of their identities was to be guessed by the members of the ghostly proces¬ sion which had been led in true ghostly fashion, without the aid of bodily eyes. The next success of the class of 1935 was their mission entertainment given to help brighten the Christmas of less fortunate families. The toys, which were given as the price of admission, furnished a source of much enjoyment to the scholars of Man¬ hattanville before they were sent to their destinations. The college was rewarded for its generosity by witnessing an inspiring fashion show, listening to Eileen Leahy sing some of the most popular songs of the moment, and being entertained by a spirited monologue by Sallie O’Donoghue, who as “Jo-Jo’s” guest at a football game gave a splendid picture of what we hope we are not. To the Seniors the college owes its gratitude for their able management which was responsible for the successful undertakings of the various college organizations and espe¬ cially for the Charity Bridge and Fashion Show, brilliantly managed by Elizabeth Wilmot (Chairman), Geraldine Noonan (Treasurer), Zaida Jones (Corresponding Secretary), Kay Dempsey (head of the Fashion Show Committee). And they had as their capable assistants members of the undergraduate and lower classes—Junior, Nancy Bremner, and Sophomore, Betty Dalton, and these had charge of cards and bridge tables; Maribeth Tobin and Genevieve O’Malley, both Freshmen, took care of the refreshments. � -- ; i Tower Senior Basketball Team Right Forward .

Naturally enough, our Freshman sisters admired our dignity, but English muffins and chocolate in no way detracted from their sincere appreciation of our more practical virtues. In short, we heard that our first entertainment as Juniors was decidedly a social success. To the superficial observer, our disclosure to the College that wehad discovered the secrets of its infantile past might have seemed unbecomingly childlike. On the other hand with method in our madness, we (and others) considered it to be a most subtle means of contrast to our present exalted position. By way of explanation, the baby pictures, to which our musical-minded president added lyrical jingles, were complemented by a most dignified repast of sandwiches and coffee served in the Benziger Building. In the field of athletics, the Junior Class is renowned. In the Fall, we won the Interclass Hockey Trophy, and as we go to press, we still have high hopes for our success in basketball. 63 T 0 W E R JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM Left to right —Rosemary McCann (Captain), Claire Caughlan, Peggy Krull, Margaret Woollett, Marion Moran, Marion Sullivan, Dora Gallagher, Helen Cusick, Margery DeLone, Betty Rafter, Rita McCann, Nancy Bremner.

Virginia Craigie, ’37. 69 70 1935 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS T HE Class of ’37 fulfilled our expectations that they would present something quite original, when the Sophomore Nursery descended upon Manhattanville one late Fall evening. For a delightful hour we enjoyed the antics of the rag-a-muffin dolls, the march of the tin soldiers, and, as the clock struck twelve, we listened to the crooning Southern voice of Mary Martha Nokely lull the children into dreamland. But the talent of the class has not been confined to dramatics alone; in hockey they defeated both the Seniors and the Freshmen, and their basketball team has succeeded, after a long and arduous struggle, in securing the Cup. The treasury of the Missionary Asso¬ ciation was swelled by the proceeds of a cake sale, sponsored by the class. The Class of ’37 has not failed to live up to that enviable reputation for versatility and balance that they established in their Freshman year—may they remain as united, as loyal, and as fine as we have found them during the past two years! 71 T O W E R SOPHOMORE HOCKEY TEAM Left to right —Virginia Schumann (Captain), Peggy Molineux, Marjorie Powers, Ethel Stella, Colette Burns, Margaret Bertini, Alice Durant, Marion Shale, Jane Moran, Mathilde Schwiers, Ruth Whalen, Suzette Schwiers.

Vivian Bowe, ’38. 77 78 1935 THE FRESHMAN CLASS T HE first day of the College year is apt to be a critical and exhausting one for the Freshmen, but this year they acquitted themselves well. Faced by a friendly bat¬ tery of eyes, their perfect naturalness and eagerness “to begin things’’ soon won all hearts. They came through the ordeal of “Freshman Week” with colours still flying high, and were rewarded and regaled by the Juniors-—their champions and sister class— at a tea in the Benziger Building. Then they showed what they themselves could do. Originality was tried and tested and with ingenuity won the day. Their “Radio Revue” took the College by storm. But the good humour and hilarity were not acted; they permeate the atmosphere of the Fourth Floor. M eanwhile the Freshmen had resolved themselves into a unit and elected Ursula McAghon as their president and Gertrude Goldbach as their vice-president. And the Class a whole acquitted itself well in the field of athletics, playing both hockey and basketball with ease and celerity. Incidentally, their last entertainment, given on March 21st, will give rise to reminiscent laughter for many months to come. It was a pantomime, adapted from Stephen Leacock’s “Gertrude the Governess,” and nothing quite like it has ever been seen on the stage of the Little Theatre. The Freshmen are a high-spirited, warm-hearted and vital class, of whom Man- hattanville can well be proud when it is said: “There goes the Class of ’38!” 79 T 0 W E R Freshman Hock ey Team Left Wing .

STUDENT GOVERNMENT T HE Student Government organization of Manhattanville has always been the vitalizing force of the College and this year it has carried on its unfailing reputa¬ tion by insuring social good in the College. The Presidents of all the classes and the Vice-President of the Senior Class constitute the Student Government Committee and they are elected by the members of the student body. They are assisted by the Proc¬ tors they appoint. This year the President of the Senior Class, Ann Murray, was a wise and capable leader, and with the able assistance of Mother Saul, representative of the Faculty, Student Government enforced its rules and discharged its duties for the general welfare of the College. The College Welfare Committee is the organization which secures cooperation of a Faculty and student committee in working for some of the wider interests of the college, and in this capacity it has become indispensable to Student Government. This year the Committee was composed of the following: Mother O’Byrne, Dean of the College and Chairman of the Committee, Mother Saul, Mother Lecroix, Mother McCarthy, Mother Keyes, Mother Patterson and Mother Schroen; Anne Murray, Jane Hassett, Elizabeth Donnelly, Peggy Krull, Ruth Whalen and Marion McCarthy. 85 T 0 W E R CATHOLIC ACTION M ANHATTANVILLE, in response to Our Holy Father’s plea for united effort on the part of the laity to extend the knowledge and influence of the Catholic Church, has launched a new and vigorous campaign for Catholic Action. Ehe year 1934-1935 has seen a reorganization of the student body for this purpose under the able leadership of Jane Hassett, Chairman of the Catholic Action Committee; the elec¬ tion of representatives from each class facilitated the carrying out of the work. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Chairman Jane Hassett, ’35 Kathleen Whitfield, ’35 Claire Caughlan, ' 36 GENERAE COMMITTEE Florence Mooney, ’35 Ruth Whalen, ’37 Vera Larkin, ’35 Betty Farley, ’37 Mary McGoldrick, ’36 Muriel Heide, ’37 Mary J. Houlihan, ’36 Genevieve O’Malley, ’38 Marion McCarthy, ’38 Once each month the college has met as a whole to discuss and to hear discussed questions of moment: religious conditions in Mexico, Communism, and the Inter-racial Problems. At these meetings there have been guest-speakers—Father Gerard Donnelly, S.J., Father Wilfred Parsons, S.J., and Father LaFarge, S.J.; student speakers, and open discussion from the floor. In December, the college was asked to aid in the picket¬ ing of the Mexican Consulate, and the response of the students wa a hearty and quick one; during the Christmas holidays and immediately afterwards, over one thousand letters of protest against religious persecution in Mexico were mailed to both American and Mexican Governments. In February, the committee communicated with more than two hundred Catholic colleges and preparatory schools, urging them to use all possible influence to secure passage of the Borah Resolution to investigate Mexican conditions; the students sent telegrams and letters to their senators, so liciting their support of this resolution. The first Friday of March was observed as a day of prayer for Mexico, and all through the year the “prayer squad’’ has been aiding the work of the students. On March 19th the college readopted the resolutions safeguarding justice to the Negro, taken first at Manhattanville in 1933. A forum on this same question will take place in May in which both white and negro speakers will be on the platform. The year has been a fruitful one, and if the aim of the committee has been to make every student in Manhattanville a well-informed as well as an active Catholic, we may say that they are on their way towards their goal. 86 1935 THE MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION Bottom Row —Elizabeth Wilmot (President).

At the Barat Settlement, Manhattanville’s special charity, beside the usual catechism classes, a Girl Scout Troop is now function¬ ing. The little Spanish-speaking parishioners of the Church of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal have had catechism classes conducted for them in their native tongue, and while they learn more easily we still reap our reward. Father Cullen Deckert, O.M.C., won our hearts on behalf of his poor people in Texas; and Father Tennien interested us when he showed us Maryknoll movies of the work in China. At Christmas time a large number of baskets were delivered to needy families. Re¬ quests for toys in letters addressed to the Christ Child were also answered by the College in a great burst of holiday enthusiasm and gratitude for their own blessings. On February 28th Manhattanville had the most successful Bridge-tea and Fashion Show in its history, for which the Senior Class, particularly, deserves a great deal of credit. The unexpected loss of Mother Benziger, when she left us for a while to go to Rome, was a very great blow. Although the Missionary Association rallied and recovered, it still needs her very much. 87 T 0 W E R ESSAY BOARD Left to right —Rosalie Breen, Elizabeth Donnelly, Kathleen Dempsey, Marie Monahan (Editor-in- Chief), Elizabeth Wilmot, Mary McCarthy. THE ESSAY T HIS year the Essay has been brilliantly handled under the editorship of Marie Monahan, and her associate editors, R. Breen, K. Dempsey, E. Wilmot, E. Don¬ nelly, M. McCarthy and the capable business manager, Florence Mooney. The Essay Board does not sit around and wait for new talent to come knocking at its door; it does the seeking. It is an active force, and its members are, moreover, impartial critics and good writers themselves. F cerything one might hope to find in the way of literature can be found in the Essay—except perhaps a 200,000 word novel or a good-sized biography. But there are short stories which catch the spirit of the time, and pertinent articles and essays, and plenty of good verse. The work is youthful—that is, it has the sincerity and eagerness of youth—but it is not sophomoric. Neither is it overgrave and pedantic. It is the literary mind of Manhattanville, and it expresses Manhattanville in a way nothing else can do. 88 1935 DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION Left to right —Mary Martha Nokely (Secretary-Treasurer), Marion Sullivan (Vice-President), Rosalie Breen (President), Claire Caughlan (Manager). THE DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION T HE whole-hearted enthusiasm that the new regime in the Dramatic Association brought forth has continued this year. Under the capable direction of Mrs. James Duane Livingston the class completed a course in “living the part. We found out that make-believe is no harder in the dramatic field than on the hockey field, where twenty-two players wear themselves out because they have accepted the edict that a ball must be hit in such a manner between two sticks. After we had learned “to respond to a situation” and “to stay in the dramatic field” we incorporated this knowledge into longer sketches, wherein the feelings were more complicated and more varied, and the characterization consequently more difficult. Since then the time has been taken up with the preparation of two one-act plays— “Riders to the Sea,” by John Synge, and “Seven Women,” by James Barrie. There is an unexpected thrill at seeing one’s name printed upon a program, and the hectic worry of “first nights” subsides to the tune of tumultuous applause. “First nights” themselves fade into glamorous memories—but the joy of belonging to the Dramatic Association is more than that. For we know that even if we may never become great actresses, we have acquired self-confidence and poise, and we know that dramatic expression is life in the process oi living. 89 T 0 W E R DEBATING CLUB Left to right —Mary Koppel (Corresponding Secretary), Elizabeth Donnelly (Vice-President), Zaida Jones (President), Rosemary McCann (Recording Secretary). DEBATING CLUB U NDER the excellent supervision of Mother Tenney, Faculty Advisor, Miss Cave, Director, and Zaida Jones, President, the Debating Club has had an in¬ teresting and successful year. Possibly the most notable change brought about during the year was the decision to enter the field of Inter-Collegiate Debating duing the year 1935-1936. The following program includes the formal debates of the year: October 9—Resolved that the manufacture of munitions should be a government monopoly.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS A LA fin de l’annee derniere, apres la publication du “Tower,” le Cercle Francais avait lhonneur de presenter au college M. Jules Bois. M. Bois etait deja tres connu du Cercle dont les membres avaient assiste a plusieurs de ses conferences donnees en vilie a differents groupes. Celle qu’il fit a Manhattanville, “Les Poetes Modernes” fut des plus inspirantes. En septembre, le Cercle a poursuivi son activite ordinaire. Les membres se sont rencontres, comme par le passe, deux fois par semaine pour des discussions animees, mais toujours courtoises, sur tout sujet courant. La Reverende Mere Bodkin, pendant un de ses sejours a Manhattanville, assista a une des reunions et elle en a dit toute sa satisfaction. Parmi les plus interessantes des conferences qui marquent de plus en plus l’habilete acquise pour s’exprimer en francais, nous releverons celles de Zaida Jones sur la Musique Moderne; celle de Margaret Myers sur l’influence du Liberalisme dans la famille; et celle de la Presidente, Sallie O Donogbue, sur la grande epopee polonaise, “Pan Tadeusz,” recemment traduite en francais. Le couronnement de l’annee arriva le 28 mars avec une piece par Albert Acrement, “Ces Dames aux Chapeaux Verts.” 93 ' 1 ' 0 W E R GLEE CLUB Left to right —Becky Cronin (Freshman Representative), Geraldine Noonan (President), Suzette Schwiers (Sophomore Representative), Anne Hill (Junior Representative). THE GLEE CLUB T HE Glee Club began its activities early this year on the occasion of Reverend Mother Bodkin’s visit in October. With the advantage of this early start and a welcome addition from the Freshman class, it has continued to lend its assistance to several very enjoyable evenings. On November 26th it provided an amusing musical touch to the Dramatic Club’s presentation of minute sketches. At Christmas time the club s rendition of an Italian lullaby “Dormi non piangere” and of the Ambrosian “Gloria” blended harmoniously with the beauty and fervor of Reverend Mother’s beast Wishes. We think that the white light of the moon must have inspired the carollers the night before the Christmas holidavs for the traditional carol-singing in the quadrangle seemed more rollicking than ever. The club is planning this spring to present a group of folk-songs from the British Isles—a presentation which from all forecasts promises to be enjoyable. The credit for the success of this group must naturally go to its leaders, and the Glee Club wishes to signify its recognition of the fact to Mother McCarthy and Ger¬ aldine Noonan, whose competent direction and zestful presidency, respectively, have made each meeting a pleasure and membership a privilege. 94 1935 Left to right —Mary Freehill, Vice-President; Eileen Leahy, President; Mary Elizabeth Cunneen, THE CLAVIAN CLUB T HIS year the Clavian Club has been more active than usual. At the first meeting held on September twenty-fifth, the officers were elected. They were: Eileen Leahy, president; Mary Freehill, vice-president; and Mary Elizabeth Cunneen, secre¬ tary-treasurer. In the meetings that followed Mr. Mira talked on the “History of Mathematical Induction,” Miss Cunneen gave a short talk on “Some New Concep¬ tions of Matter.” The club was particularly honored by having Dr. Thomas of Columbia University as guest speaker in November. Later Mr. Morrissey spoke on subjects dear to the mathematical mind. The club is looking forward to more inter¬ esting meetings this year and further development in the years to come, under the stim¬ ulating leadership of Mother Connick. 95 1935 Standing—Left to right —Regina Rippon, Mary Mooney, Mary Freehill, Virginia Seymour, Betty Farley, Josephine Houlihan, Marion Sullivan.

Kneeling —Margaret Woolett, Ruth Schickel, Kathleen Whitfield, Mary Cullen. THE CLASSICAL CLUB S INCE this year is the bimillenium of the birth of Horace, the Classical Club has had a great opportunity to show its appreciation of this universally loved author. One of the formal meetings of the year was devoted to a court scene in which poets of various ages presented their reasons for and against the support of the Roman poet. H orace, himself, as impersonated by Betty Farley, delivered his own defense in verse form, and at the conclusion of the hearing Mary McCarthy, the very capable president of the club, rendered her decision as judge of the worth of Horace. Early in the year, the club members determined that no longer should the College consider those who loved and studied the Classics as people only half human, and com¬ pletely devoid of all humor. Again the president came to their aid and wrote and directed a most amusing comedy skit, presenting the Latin authors in comic situations. 1 his “Extravaganza” offered us the nightmare of Arabella-Jane, a priggish little student of too much Latin who only unlearned her lessons seeing “Rome at Home” with Romulus and Remus skipping rope, and Cerberus and the she-wolf holding a breathless race as the climax. But the Classical Club has done more this year than celebrate the birthday of Horace, more than amuse its members—it has found new life, and that is the fulfill¬ ment of its ambitions. 96 1935 Left to right —Margaret Woolett, Vice-President; Jane Hassett, President; Betty Farley, Secretary. THE THUMB TACK CLUB A NEWCOMER to Manhattanville will at first wonder at the piquant name of this justifiably well-known club. But she will soon lose her wonder in the delights the club has to offer. And she will find that, like the humble thumb tack, the Thumb Tack Club is perennially useful—especially to the Dramatic Association. Moreover, it could be called the “Every-ready Club” with equal justice; its members have that co-operative spirit so necessary to success, and nothing is so impossibly high that their ambition does not wing a shaft at it (witness: the Bandbox, and the Mary¬ land Pageant of last spring). But perhaps the thumb tack has a wider connotation—it is especially useful in works of art—and so is its namesake, the Thumb Tack Club. Its leading lights, under the auspices of Miss Todd, the head of the Art Department, and Jane Hassett, Presi¬ dent of the club, discourse learnedly on everything from Gothic cathedrals to the phase of feminine dress through the centuries. And these monthly meetings are some¬ thing to which we look forward ; one never knows what is to be the order of the eve¬ ning, but one thing is certain—a thoroughly good time is had by all. For Reverend Mother General’s Day, the club proposes to hold a Mediaeval Fair day—even to English folk-dances in costume and a miracle play. And that is only one example of what the Thumb Tack Club takes unconcernedly in its stride! 97 T 0 W E R THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB F OR those with philosophical leanings, the Philosophy Club is a newly devised insurance policy against the accusation: She is a metaphysician. Who says she does not exist. And those who hear her position Agree she would not be missed. 1 he club activities manifest the existence of its members. They commenced with a sight-seeing tour of the pinnacles of Christian and non-Christian metaphysics, taking Chesterton’s Everlasting Man as a guide. Then a vagrant impulse seized the club and it spent an evening with William James, who was impersonated by a member. He proved clever and flattering, but by no logic could he convince them that human expedi¬ ency is the measure of truth. So unsatisfactory did they find a philosophy which upholds “value instead of validity,” that they devoted several meetings to a consideration of the relation between reality and truth. Maritain’s Les Dcgres du Savoir was the beacon which gave direction to discussions on philosophy and experimental science, and on critical realism. This year the final venture of the club is to be, as it were, a debate on humanism, in which half the club will uphold the views Mercier expresses in The Chal¬ lenge of Humanism, and the other half will put forward Daniel Sargent’s attitude towards humanism. THE SOCIOLOGY CLUB R ecently the re has been a growing interest in the college in the social sciences. This interest has culminated in the formation of the Sociology Club. The purpose of the club is to come into actual contact with practical questions and problems perti¬ nent to this field. The organization, headed by Joan Willett, president, and Rita McCann, secretary, is striving towards informal discussion of investigations and experi¬ ments made by the members of the Club. Although still in its infancy, one important meeting has already been held, and at subsequent meetings efforts will be made to have guest speakers. 98 I 935 IL CIRCOLO ITALIANO Q UEST’ANNO, il Circolo Italiano si e guadagnato meritata stima nel Collegio. Ebbe l’incarico di offrire gli auguri di Natale che, secondo tutti, riuscirono bel- lissimi. Le due scene della Nascita di Cristo erano cosi italiane da far pensare subito a Fra Angelico; nella prima, la Madonna, Mercedes Bosetti era vestita di bianco candido, e gli angioli in adorazione che le facevano ghirlanda, erano in colori a pastelli verde e azzurro. Nella seconda scena si recitarono i bei versi di Clemente Barbieri “11 Natale” e la ninnananna “Dormi non piangere” con musica del Maestro Yon, cantata dal Glee Club, fini col dare l’illusione di essere presenti a una festa di Natale nella stessa Italia. Due altre rappresentazioni si preparano adesso per essere messe in iscena in maggio. Il secondo anno d’ltaliano presentera “Agenore l’lndeciso” scherzo comico di Ales¬ sandro Gnagnatti che promette essere comicissimo. Questo sara preceduto dal dialogo di Arturo Graf: “Dante in Santo Corvo del Monte” dato dalla classe di Dante in onore del gran poeta. “Simil uom ne maggior non nacque mai.” CLUB ESPANOL A caracteristica del Club Espanol de Manhattanville es la sincera cordialidad que _ f une sus treinta y cinco socias bajo la direccion habil de la Madre Avellaneda. Todas esperan la reunion mensual sabiendo que sera ocasion de esparcimiento y . . . de probar algun refresco frecuentemente ofrecido por amigas del Club. Unas doce estudiantes de habla espanol acentuan el caracter latino de nuestra querida asociacion. La primera funcion del ano tuvo lugar en Octubre en honor del Congreso Euca- ristico de Buenos Aires. Se recito un inspirante coro titulado “Llegan las Multitudes”; a esta reunion asistio la Reverenda Madre Vicaria. En la reunion de Febrero tuvimos el gusto de recibir a la Sra. del Rio de esta ciudad quien nos encanto con su declamacion poetica, contando entre sus selecciones, romances del sigl XV hasta del nuestros di ' as con Machado. Para unirnos a las fiestas que se celebraran en Espana en el tercentenario de Lope de Vega, estamos preparando para presentar en escena “El Viaje del Alma” que es- peramos resultara lucidisimo, apogeo a las actividades de nuestro Club para el Ano 1934-1935. 99 T 0 W E R THE CHOIR H ITHERTO overshadowed by more popular organizations, the Choir has at last come into its own. An officer, the president, is its represen tative in the hierarchy of the college organizations. On the feast of St. Cecilia the members feted themselves in the Lounge Room of the Benziger Building, thereby determining their status in the eyes of the rest of the college. Mother McCarthy and Mother Morgan have united their efforts to train the “Pius XI Choir,” and the organization has frequently merited the praise of Mother Stevens. THE PITCH PIPE CLUB M USIC has always been well-loved at Manhattanville, but until this year it has been taken somewhat for granted. But now, the individual music-lovers have coalesced into an organization. The discovery of new talent is one of its chief aims, and the music-knowledge of the members is deepened and enriched by the study of com¬ posers and musicians—of their lives and works. Mother McCarthy is the “dea ex machina” of the club, and Mary Danaher is its capable president. A meeting—a con¬ cert in every sense of the word—is held almost every month, with a different composer selected for each one. And, quite frequently, there are distinguished guests present who are well known in the field of music. t 100 The New Mooney Memorial Chapel in Honor of Saint Madeleine Sophie 101 Athletics 1 935 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Top row —Left to right—Mary Cohalan (Freshman Representative), Marion Shale (Sophomore Representative). Second row —Constance Dillon (Manager), Miss Winifred Williams (Directress of Athletics), Sallie O’Donoghue (President), Third row —Peggy Krull (Junior Representative), Margery DeLone (Junior Representative). THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION T HE Athletic Association has this year more than ever before deserved the hearty congratulations of the College. Under the supervision of Mother Schroen and the direction of Miss Winifred Williams, Sallie O’Donog hue, president, and Connie Dillon, manager, have accentuated the interest of the College in both intercollegiate and interclass games of hockey, basketball, and tennis, while the requirements for upper-classmen have, by a concession of the Faculty, been made less stringent: for Seniors, one period a week for two seasons, and for Juniors, two periods a week for only two seasons. The younger members of the A. A., Marion Shale, Sophomore representative, and Mary Cohalan, Freshman representative, have stimulated the interest of the Col¬ lege in Ping-Pong and Bowling. Owing to the enthusiasm and cooperation of the Junior Representatives Peggy Krull and Margie De Lone, the Swimming Club has been reorganized; and it owes both its origin and impetus to Miss Williams. But this is only one of the lesser things for, which we find it so hard to thank her in words. Miss Williams in her nine years as athletic coach at Manhattanville has not only formed gen¬ erations of invincible varsity players, but, what is more, has actually made the standard of athletics in the College as it is today. 105 , s x ' ■ ' $§■ ' ■ • t Hi 106 VARSITY HOCKEY TEAM 1935 VARSITY HOCKEY M ANHATTANVILLE closed the hockey season without the accustomed blaze of glory. Rain, for the most part, was responsible for putting a damper on hockey activities by causing annoying cancellations. Of three games that were played, two were victories, and the third a defeat. Merion Cricket Club of Philadelphia proved superior in a hard-fought contest played on their field. Inasmuch as the competition was so keen, no one was disheartened over the defeat, but felt that next year a better showing will be made. The schedule of games was as follows: The Annual Hockey Banquet was held before the Thanksgiving holidays. The guests of honor were: Miss Winifred Williams, Sally O’Byrne, Betty Sherwood and Madeleine Pascual. The Juniors received the Hockey Cup for the inter-class games, and letters were awarded to members of the Varsity, as well as numerals to those who played on Class Teams. Sallie O ' Donoghue received a gold hockey pin for having played on the Varsity for four years. Eileen Leahy was unanimously acclaimed and thanked for her leadership as Captain, and the Manager’s Pin was awarded to Helen Cusick who was elected Captain for next year.

It is no exag¬ geration to say that this was one of the most successful seasons that Manhattanville has ever witnessed, for we can now claim to be the only undefeated team in New York City. The machine-like teamwork, accurate passing and shooting as well as the alert¬ ness of each individual which have characterized generations of varsity players was the same this year. The William and Mary game and our meeting with Mt. St. Joseph were the high points of our schedule, and the fact that the team remained undefeated is well deserving of congratulations, for the season ended with the same manifestation of fighting spirit as marked its beginning with a game with our own Alumnae. The scores of the games as well as the number of games are a proof of the interest shown.

The guests of honor were: Miss Winifred Williams and six distin¬ guished members of the Alumnae and former basketball players, Betty Sherwood, Muriel McCann, Ann Grogan, Gerry Treacy, Mary Alice Mangan, and Madeleine Pascual. Sallie O’Donoghue and Connie Dillon received gold basketballs, as a reward for playing four years on the Varsity; the Manager’s pin w r as presented to Rita McCann, while the team thanked Marion Sullivan who had proved a perfect Captain, and her ability was recognized in the fact that she w T as re-elected for the coming year. THE SWIMMING CLUB T HE Swimming Club has recently divided its membership into tw r o classes which have made the Club more accessible than before. For class A the requirements are more difficult. One has to pass five perfect dives and five perfect strokes, swim twelve lengths of the pool, pass a speed test and take and pass a course in Life Saving. For class B only half of these requirements must be fulfilled. But the club does not confine its activities to members. There are three inter-class swimming meets which provide events for every type of swimmer. The class winning the greatest number of points is presented with the coveted plaque bearing its name. And lastly the club completes its year with a Tea where the awards are given. Members of class A are presented with charms, those of class B with red bathing caps. 110 1935 DIARY April 28, 1934—The Tower of 1934 went to press and the staff of ’35 began to look forward to planning the details of their own Year Book.
