THE TOWER 1928 -1937 Presented by the JUNIOR CLASS COLLEGE OF THE SACRED HEART Manhattanville New York City L2 7 AS .M3f 1 37 910 02 % i DEDICATION IN GRATITUDE WE DEDICATE THIS TOWER TOTHEFACULTY Five N MEMORIAM MOTHER MARY CORRIGAN, R.S.C.J., Ph.D. In February, 1936, Mother Mary Corrigan left for England to star the long journey to China. Mother Corrigan, who had worked for over nine years in Manhatfanville and fhen in Kenwood, teaching science, was beginning a new phase of her aposfolafe: she was taking up the work of a missionary of God. In Shanghai her zeal had but scant opportunity to make itself felt, for in less than a year after the commencement of her pilgrimage, on the fourth day of September, Mother Corrigan died, while the fertile fields of the Orient were yet in need of the loving devotion of such a reaper of souls. Mary Corrigan was born in South Orange, New Jersey, in 1876. She received her education at Manhattanville and in 1898 entered the novitiate at Kenwood, and at the Mother House in Conflans, Paris, she made her profession in 1908. Fr om 1925 to 1934 she was at Manhattanville as Director of the physical science laboratories and in this capacity found her most useful field of labor. Here she remained for nine years until she left for Kenwood to teach French classes. We whom she taught were both proud and sad when we learned that she was to depart for fhe Chinese missions. Confident that Mother Corrigan would do a great work in winning souls to God, we bade her farewell. The Tower wishes fo pay tribute to one who will always live as long as Manhattanville remembers those who helped to enrich her spirit, and Manhattanville will always remember.

MARY MclLWAINE ARCHER, E. de M. Girls Cathedral High School Richmond, Virginia The spirit of Jeb Stuart must have been the gift of Mary ... so dashing is she, and cool. She has three great talents; first, the divine gift of friendliness; secondly, a devastating way with a test tube and chemical theorem, and thirdly, she is Ko-ko! ! a puffed up, amusing, nimble witted Lord High Executioner. The Mikado was one of great personal triumph. Mary, here ' s to the fun and the fight in you, if you were quintuplets, Manhattanville could find room for you all and be the better for it!

MARGARET DONOVAN BAILLY Roger Ascham Prep School White Plains, New York Peg of Old Drury and the lass on the lowback car are excelled by Peg Bailly . . . for she is the embodiment of the gracious virtue, unselfishness. A shrewd mind and great industry insure her scholarly achievements; but it is her generosity which makes her presence a warmth and her smile a light. Anything from her dashing car to a pair of boots to a desperate thespian! Peg, whether peering through a microscope or helping a friend, is whole hearted in all she does.

Blessed Sacrament Convent New York, New York Irene is the pattern, the casual smart college type. There is a well groomed quality to her mind also. The industry in class which produces copious notes, and the fun in her nature which makes her ready for a quip or a chuckle, are crowned by a real sophisticafion which is the delight and envy of her colleagues. From pert hat to her pert shoes, Irene is a friendly, capable, clever girl. But, Irene is not only a polished surface—underneath she has valuable mental gifts, too.

Our Lady of Wisdom Academy Long Island, New York It its charm you ' re seeking, cultivate the friendship of Eileen. She has the gift of the long, slow look, and she is a gourmet for French drama. She attacks the grimness of intensive verbs and the soliloquies of fhe Racine heroine with a zest of valor. To some she has the freshness of a Kate Greenaway ingenue, and to others, the sophistication of a Noel Coward damsel. She is spontaneous and refreshing.

COLETTE BYRNES, E. de M. St. Lawrence Academy New York, New York Colette has the warm tang of gingerbread. She has the magical gift of intense interest in trifles which the more obtuse might pass by with upturned nose. Her nature is a compact one, rich in sympathies and the determination and mentality of a Caesar. There is a mischievous gleam in her dark eyes as though Puck had skipped from out of his sunbeam and decided to take permanent residence between her heavy lashes.

IRMA CASTANER, E. de M. Colegio del Sagrado Corazon Ponce, Puerto Rico Irma is volubility itself, but she is as much of a doer as a talker. Her ' s is no idle gossip, only the converse of an alert mind. Irma has a purpose in life, and nof the least of her purposes is fo make ofhers happy. She is jolly, and if would be a catas¬ trophe indeed were she to lose her contagious optimism and friendliness. Irma could not be out of sorts and be the Irma we rely on and admire.

MARY JO CORRAL Georgetown Visitation Convent Washington, D. C. The beat of the castenets is in Mary Jo ' s chuckles, and in her keen face is the piquant good looks of a Castillian senorita. She has the bravado of a matador, and an effortless aptitude in her metier, art. Her beauty is of an alluring kind, her sleek hair, chic, and milk-white teeth make a picture which is distinctly national both to America and Spain.

ANNE ELIZABETH COX, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Rochester, New York Anne is blessed with a flair for clothes, a flair for good reading and writing, and a decided flair for repartee. She would grace an eighteenth century salon and make Madame de Stael grope for a capping phrase. She is not one to blow the big brass drum, but, she has enviable gifts. It is a credit to her unassuming ways and ability to provoke real friendship that all her colleagues are not green-eyed at her gifts. Twenty-nine 9 3 7 TOWER VIRGINIA CRAIGIE, E. de M.

Ginny is a poet with a Keatian quality ot lyricism and courage. Her verr 5 is exceptionally musical and it is imbued with a spirit of bravery. She is fruly a giver ot herself in friendship, and with a crackling sense of humor she is a connoisseur of the well turned phrase. We hope that this gift of hers will bring her fame and happiness.

St. Angela Hall Academy Brooklyn, New York Betty is as cheerful as a bonfire, wifh a glow and warmfh which imbue all who come under fhe lighf of her grin. She has a vigorous goodness abouf her, an unaffected sympathy. The licorice colored darky babies, the rusty tinted papooses and the tawny sons of the Lotus blossoms may well wail when the one who was transcendentally their friend will no longer guide the Manhattanville missions to success.

ELIZABETH ELEANOR DEERY, E. de M. Ste. Chretienne Academy Salem, Massachusetts Elizabeth is a darling. She has a contageous laugh and gentle consideration. There is a Rosalind quality about Elizabeth, a gay outlaw-in-the-woodishness, that can lift her most melancholy friend from her doldrums. To know her well is to love her well. She treats life with an abandon, with the carefree quality which offers a good example to the depressing security-seekers who are darkening our planet.

CONSTANCE DONNELLY Academy of the Holy Child New York, New York There is a Gaelic deliciousness in Connie. She must have been blessed by the Good People or the elves which lurk under shamrocks, for she is possessed by music and glee, she is splendid at games and making friends, and she is an executive—but the charm of Connie is her candor and sense of fun which is the gift of the little Gael fairies who casf fhe eye of friendship on such as her.

Honesty and fervor are Rita ' s salient traits. She has done extraordinary work in behalf of the uproarious pupils of St. Bridgets. She has a gentle serious nature, a keen love of study, a sweet temper. Though we have only had her at Manhattan- ville for two years, she has been outstanding for her clear thinking and sincerity of purpose.

MARY VIRGINIA EVANS, E. de M. Our Lady of Mercy Academy Syosset, Long Island, New York Mary Virginia has a winsomeness, a gentleness that is ingratiating and deliciously feminine. Then, on the basketball court, she is swift and vital in an awe-inspiring way to her tense spectators, and terrifying, no doubt, to her opponents. Mary Virginia, as sweet out of athletics as she is truculent in them, is a good sport, too, in the field of clubbing, as unsparing of herself there as everywhere else.

Betty is a good friend, and a gentle one. She is a valiant Classicist, who will tilt with one and all for love of her Queen of Beauty, Learning. She could well vie with Mrs. Harrison Williams as the best dressed woman of her world. There is a Portia-like quality in Betty, of wisdom, winsomeness and sympathy. And the cause of Catholic action, which she eloquently pleads, could ask for no better champion.

MARY GIBBS Academy of the Holy Child New York, New York Mary ' s small and energetic person is alive with the jolliest of spirits and is graced by unselfishness. She has a smile, which, like the Sun on the British Empire, never sets. Turn a corner, and there is Mary, cheery as the day—she is like the tulip pots at Easter, or the tune of a hurdy-gurdy in an October street—kindly, bright and familiar.

Dot has the facility for doing many things well. She is a student whose midnight vigils have in no way dulled her wit nor darkened her looks; but her fabulous marks, her grasp on fhe controversy of modern ideas—versus Aquinas, her struggle in the lounge room on Philosophy Club days, her Harper ' s Bazarrian chic, and her kindliness, all make Dot eminently a lady of parts.

HELEN HARRIGAN, E. de M. St. Brendan High School New York, New York Helen, like Benjamin Franklin, is one of those phenomenal younger children who have amassed the learning and ripe wisdom of their elders and gone to work on it. She has the energy and dimensions of a vitamin. She can write essay and story, refute a Hegel, Descartes, or Dewey. In fact, she is a prose artist with a Thomistic touch. Combining this with the firecracker qualities of wit and giggle, you have a small prize package. Like Franklin, Helen may do mighty things for a world that needs them.

Randell School Denver, Colorado There ' s a glint in Maryanne ' s eye because she is an expert in the fine art of wise¬ cracking; she who harryed us through our Freshman year, left us in the Junior year, and has now returned ... we should have blown trumpets and tossed flowers if we had realized what a delicious person Maryanne was. She is jolly and what an actress! The excruciating loftiness of Pooh Bah only she could do justice to, only she could swagger across the stage in that fashion! This is a tribute and I fear a slight one, but we all bow and bow to Maryanne Harrington.

Academy of Our Lady of Lourdes New York, New York Doris has the lovely dignity of a formal garden, with cool lawns of thought and a fountain of courtesy. This consideration and desire to aid others has led her to keen study in sociological fields. But, there is nothing of the flat-heeled and too brisk welfare worker about her. Doris ' well groomed personality is a refreshment to the eye.

MARIA E. HOGAN, E. de M. Johnstown High School Johnstown, New York Whatever her object all sublime is, give her time and she ' ll achieve it. If produc¬ ing a Japanese operetta, which brought a mirthful quaver to the whiskers of our Victorian forebears, and directing forty or so embryonic Jenny Linds in good olde Christmas carols isn ' t enough to prove the abilities of a Glee Club president—well, you try it. Maria is a genial, warm hearted girl who can command without annoying, and win friends to her with her consideration and tact.

RUTH HOURIGAN, E. de M. Wyoming Seminary Kingston, Pennsylvania Ruth can take a pen, a gavel, or a ledger in hand, and produce impressive results. Are you in sentimental mood? — She ' ll write you a sonnet. Or before you could say Old China she could toss you off a Charles Lambian essay. I have no doubt that some future Newer Dealer will create an alphabetic department for her just to see her in control of the intricacies of parliamentary law. Why, Ruth migh f be able even to balance the National Budget.

NANCY HUSSEY Kingston High School Kingston, New York Nancy Hussey is kind. She can put the shy at ease and evoke real affection in those who are gifted with her friendship. For her abilities, she is a keen student of German and history. But, it is her sincerity, her realness which is her crowning virtue. Nancy ' s wry wit is the joy of her friends, for no matter what is said Nancy can better it with a joke.

MARGARET ANN LAMBERT St. Lawrence Academy New York, New York Margaret has a Gainsborough look. She is exquisitely chic, and she is gracious¬ ness itself. Her very presence conjures up the picture of a Regence drawing room in simple elegance and easy charm. She is as feminine as Yardleys lavender, but she has the poise of a Duchess of Devonshire pouring tea for a Georgian Savant—but she has the dash, too, of a cavalier.

EILEEN LARKIN, E. de M. St. Lawrence Academy New York, New York Do you remember Pooh who was a friendly sort of bear? Well, Eileen is a friendly sort of girl. She is, indeed raconteuse enough to make Alexander Woollcott grab nervously for his microphone and curse the day that women took up careers. Sh e has an affection for life with its comedy, from the fat gentleman chasing his hat to the bon mot of a parlor pet. There is decision in her character and warmth in her generosity.

St. Lawrence Academy New York, New York The Larkins are to Manhattanville, what the Dionnes are to Canada—their proudest boast. Kay Larkin in a smock with a daub of paint on her nose and her thumb in a palette is the artist incarnate.

She wears her clothes with a style and charm to make you think she might slip into the throne room and get a bit of ermine or crown jewel or so . . . which would well become her.

She concocted a 1936 Tower which causes her ink- drenched successors to gape with wonder and desperate envy.

For the leadership and friendship which the elders of the college have given us this year, the Tower would like to say thank you. Like helmsmen of a clipper, the Seniors have guided the college through precarious waters and now, with the harbor well in sight, I think their crew ought to give three cheers and one cheer more for their gallant captains. As Juniors they gave the college a Year Book that was unexcelled, as Seniors they have maintained and given their flock something better, a standard of college spirit at its highest. To the tallest and the shortest, to the fattest and the thinnest, to the pothooked student and the All American Girl, their underclassmen say All Hail. When they hand the administration of the college to the Juniors, the Daisy Chain to the Sophomores, and the traditions to the Freshmen, the Seniors will give something else far more valuable, an example of loyalty and the memories of a delightful year, with delightful girls in the Senior Class.

Though our athletic laurels have more or less wilted on our brows, we have striven hard and it has been fun because the victors have been more than gracious; the class turned out in force to welcome their sister class after the trials of hazing, in true sandwich and tea fashion in the Lounge Room. We have tried to take our place of second in command in the college activities, in aiding and abetting the Seniors. We look forward to the assistance of the Sophomores next year and only hope the incoming Freshman class will be as genial and co-operative as the Class of ' 40. Such as we are, we have produced the Tower as a tribute and memorandum of the pleasures and inspiration of the Class of ' 37; we wish to offer recognition to those of our classmates who have played a good part in college life, and we hope that we can succeed as well in executive and companionable powers as our redoubtable predecessors.

They have proved themselves excellent in their undertakings, either on the athletic field or in the realm of footlight and grease paint. The Sophomore entertainment was definitely culture with its tongue in its cheek, and provided sauce to the jaded undergraduate appetite for bread and games. It mixed both, the bread in the charmingly trimmed Gym, and games—what games! The show was Shakespearian, or was it? Lady Macbeth suffered with the ladies in the Ivory Soap ads of dishpan hands which all fhe perfumes of Arabia could not, etc. Romeo was working his way through college and Macbeth was a two-gunned gillie; Cleopatra had gone Mae West, and Sir Toby was definitely in his cups, too definitely. The final touch was a dance routine by three boop-a-dooping Witches. It was definitely a Mid Term Nightmare, as much for W. Shakespeare in his lonely grave as for Sophomore English. Therefore, the Tower would like to extend its congratulations to an up and coming class, for by their fruits ye shall know them, and the Sophomores have much to be proud of in their work this year.

De Mille has nothing on the Class of ' 40 when it comes to being colossal, super-colossal, super-super-colossal. To the edification of the college the little newcomers put on an entertainment of which one of the captions was Cast Up By the Sea. (The Tower regrets that neither space nor time permits them to give the title of this sob-jerker in full.—Ed.) It did not have Custer ' s Last Stand in it nor the Deluge, but it did have, a ship¬ wreck, a prodigal son disguised behind whiskers, a mortgage on the old homestead, ever so many lofty sentiments, a heavy father, a shooting, a light-house scene, with all the Winslow Homer austerity of background, the honest yokel, and an epilogue of the God Bless Our Home variety. It was a masterpiece. From that the Freshmen went on to fresh triumphs in hockey delighting the upper classmen with their splendid spirit and prowess. These Freshmen, performing the tasks which are the bane of their lowly lot, such as tidying up the tea room, or lugging chairs, have attacked all their jobs with cheerfulness and efficiency; they have a store of enthusiasm in clubbing, and are no shirkers when it comes to hard work. In the first year of college, it is generally agreed, the Freshmen have acquitted themselves more than well, and we who are growing hoary are confident that the future of Manhattanville is safe in their capable hands.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT L ET it be said that in a world raucous with Heil Hitlers and Viva II Duces that in Manhattanville at least there is government by the people and for the people. That this is so, is due to the efficient and wise jurisdiction of Student Government. It has guided the collegiate body constitutionally, and now at the end of fhe year must receive tribute. Surely it is owed to Mother Saul, who has helped to keep the friendly spirit between the board and college, to Jane Moran, who has played the difficult and responsible part of fhe president with tact and force, and fo her trusty lieutenants who have given an example of loyalty to the college. In their hands the entire spirit of college is protected and the Student Government have indeed acquitted themselves well. To Ursula McAghon will go the task of leading the college next year; she may wel l continue in her present attitude and work. To those whom we have kept up after lights out we say, Forgive us our trespasses ; to those who laid a hand heavy with demerits on us we say We love you just the same and from Jane Moran to Polly Horan the Tower gives thanks for making fhe year 1936-37 whaf it has been, one marked by capable leadership and strong spirit. One Hundred Seven 9 3 7 TOWER THE SODALITY CLUB Seated (left to right): Betty Farley, President; Betty Dalton, Vice-President. Standing (left to right): Mary Gertrude Starrs, Virginia Schumann, Agnes Milne, Secretary; Helen Harrigan, Jane Moran. THE SODALITY OF THE CHILDREN OF MARY T HE Sodality of the Children of Mary is noT a new organization, but rather, the oldest vital force in the college. The aim of the Sodality is the spiritual welfare of its members, and the spread of its influence to the rest of the college. This year the Sodality elected a board, composed of a president, vice-president, secretary and council, whose work in bringing to light the numerous possibilities of the organiza¬ tion has been capably executed. On the seventh of October, the Sodality, with the co-operation of the college, celebrated the Feast of the Holy Rosary by continuous adoration and a chain of Rosaries before the Blessed Sacrament for those suffering in Spain. The forty new Children of Mary who were received into the Sodality on the eighth of December show the fruits of much labor and grace. Silence in the Chapel Corridor, which has long been desired by the faculty, has been achieved through the efforts of the new board. May this new zeal in the Sodality of Ihe Children of Mary flourish under the- guidance of Our Lady. One Hundred Eight 9 3 7 TOWER THE CATHOLIC ACTION Seated (left to right): Ethel Stella, Mary Gertrude Starrs, Betty Farley, Chairman; Agnes Milne, Maribeth Tobin, Treasurer; Helen Harrigan. Standing (left to right): Katherine Ford, Katherine Beha, Georgina Rintelen, Yvonne Costello. CATHOLIC ACTION C ATHOLIC ACTION has become an integral part of the activities of the student body at Manhattanville. It manifests itself first in monthly forums and secondly in six committees. The forums are presided over by the Chairman, Betty Farley. Speakers from among the student body expose the subject of the forum, then the floor is opened for general discussion. These discussions have revealed fhe enthusi¬ astic and keen interest of fhe audience. Guest speakers temper the arguments and answer any questions that have risen during fhe open forum. The six commiftees consist of the Catechetical, Legislative, Publicity, Liturgical, Literary and Apologetics Committees. Membership in these is voluntary and open to the college at large, and is under an appointed chairman member of fhe Catholic Action Committee. Large numbers have joined, thus making the students alert in Catholic and anti-Catholic developments in the world. The greatest achievement of Catholic Action this year has been in the line of catechetics. It has spread so, that every student is doing some type of this work. Thus, Catholic Action in the college has become intensely practical. One Hundred Nine 9 3 7_TOWER THE MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION Seated (left to right): Betty Dalton, President; Genevieve Fox, Freshman Repre¬ sentative. Standing (left to right): Jeanne Geoghegan, Secretary; Mathilde Schwiers, Treasurer; Jean McClatchy, Sophomore Representative; Maribeth Tobin, Junior Representative. THE MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION A LL Manhattanville girls are members of the Missionary Association. They, as well as the faculty, consider that zeal for the missions should be one of the salient traits of all Sacred Heart graduates. The enthusiasm and humor of Betty Dalton have proved an incentive in raising missionary interest throughout the college. Delegations go daily to work in Manhattanville ' s special charity, the Barat settlement. There catechetical instruction, Girl Scout leadership and clubs are headed by our girls. In several parishes, too, the same kind of work is done as af Baraf ; while others visit the ailing children in Bellevue Hospital, or work among the Spanish children in Casita Maria. In the hobby room many are busy with bandage-making and sewing for the Medical Missions. Several talks, one by Father Cowly, a missioner from China, inspired us by his spirit and zeal. At Christmastide many baskets were filled for the poor. Whatever work has been done by the Manhattanville Missionary Association, the Tower feels fhat praise is due chiefly to Betty Dalton, Mathilde Schwiers and their devoted associate, Mother Saul, and to every girl in the college who has helped make work for the missions a universal interest. One Hundred Ten 9 3 7 TOWER THE ESSAY BOARD Seated (left to right): Anne Elizabeth Cox, Ethel Stella, Helen Harrigan, Editor- in-Chief; Agnes Milne, Business Manager; Irene Naughton.

The Essay Board turns from cudgeling up trade, producing literary confections, and dotting other peoples ' i ' s for them to the task of bringing out the Manhattanville bi-annual Essay. In order to encourage a more universal interest in the Essay, for the first time a Junior, Barbara Marion, was elected to the Board, in this way lightening the work of the Seniors. It is no task for a dilettante. We must not only provoke the Mute Inglorious Miltons who lounge around the Day Hops ' room and up and down Park Avenue and Arcadia to undying song, but we must also struggle with our own Muse lest the college think that the Board sleeps while the contributors crack their cherished finger nails on Corona Juniors. We must search for the budding poets among under classmen and still give the Seniors their last opportunity to go down to posterity as the prose-artists of 1936-37. Above all, we must put out an intelligent, interesting paper. In the throes of going to press we salute you, our sister publication. Know that the Essay Board toasts the Tower Board with three times three. One Hundred Eleven 9 3 7 TOWER THE DEBATING CLUB Seated: Virginia Schumann, President. Standing (left to right): Jeanne Lantry, Recording Secretary; Dorothy Goett, Vice-President; Loretto O ' Connell, Corre¬ sponding Secretary and Treasurer. THE DEBATING CLUB S HAKESPEARE might well have said all the world ' s a forum and each must argufy his way info eternify. Lasf year Manhaffanvilie commenced to take part in inter-collegiate debates, and this year with its resolution that Congress be empow¬ ered to legislate on minimum wages and maximum hours, they continued to do it. The first debate, with Rosemont, resulted with a unanimous decision against us; our speakers were, Loretto O ' Connell, Virginia Schumann and Miriam Walsh. At Mount Saint Vincent, we fared better, for though it was a non-decision debate, all our speakers, Loretto O ' Connell, Virginia Schumann and Jeanne Lantry received favorable comment. There will be a third inter-collegiate debate with the College of St. Rose, on April 9th. The public debate between several of the Manhaffanvilie members will be held after the Tower goes to press, but this much we know. The resolution is as follows: Resolved that in the pending neutrality law that embargo on munitions should be mandatory, a subject which has made many a senatorial tongue wag. Loretto O ' Connell, Kay Beha and Jessie Clarke will speak for the affirmative side; Ethel Stella, Betty Anne Mallay and Jeanne Lantry for the negative side. This month the debating club marks its tenth anniversary. It wishes to express its appreciation to Mother Tenney and Mr. McClelland, the able coach, for all they have done toward making the debators not only articulate but speakers with a purpose. One Hundred Twelve 9 3 7 TOWER THE DRAMATIC CLUB Seated (left to right): Mary Martha Nokely, President; Loretto O ' Connell, Vice-President. Standing (left to right): Katherine Beha, Secretary-Treasurer; Dorothy Sinclair, Manager. THE DRAMATIC CLUB T HESPIANS all, the members of the Dramatic Club are proud of what they have done and are in high hopes that their piece de resistance, and incidentally, also Mr. Shakespeare ' s Twelfth Night, which is now in the throes of rehearsal, may be the triumph of 1937. In the beginning of the year we produced The Minuet, an exquisite tragedy of high courage and grace in the Reign of Terror, All on a Summer ' s Day, a stylized confection possessing humor and delicacy and lastly, Tarkington ' s The Trysting Place, with a seventeenish hero and diverse vacation romantics. Costuming, direc¬ tion and production were also done by members, but the guidance of Mrs. Livingston and Mother Keyes, to whom we are greatly indebted, is largely the cause of our success. With Mary Martha Nokely as Sebastian, Loretto O’Connell as Viola, and Genevieve O ' Malley as Olivia, three stars of the Little Theatre boards, leading an energetic and hopeful cast, we trust Twelfth Night will prove a smash-hit. The feel of grease paint, the swing of a rapier or farthingale and the heat of the foot-lights on one’s face are delicious to the members of the Dramatic Club. We hope that we will prove as capable devotees of Melpomene and Thalia as we are enthusiastic and fond.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS C ETTE annee, le Cercle Frangais a ses reunions une fois par semaine, pendant les deux semestres. L ' honneur d ' en etre membres a ete etendu aux juniors qui ont termine les cours requis pour I ' admission . Le premier invite du Cercle fut I ' Abbe, Sibuet qui fit une conference sur Paul Claudel. II n ' a pas seulement donne, une excellente idee de I ' oeuvre du dramatiste, mais aussi un clair tableau du Moyen-Age; mettant surtout en valeur, comme dans une admirable fresque, le Merveilleux Chretien magnifiguement reflete dans L ' Annonce faite a Marie. Le Cercle a eu egalement le plaisir d ' entendre Mademoiselle L. van de Caveye raconter, d ' une maniere charmante, ta croisiere en Mediterranee: De la statue de la Liberte a la Pliniana. Le I I Mars, c ' etait la representation de Primerose.

THE GLEE CLUB C OLLEGE songs, negro spirituals and Gilbert and Sullivan were the musical fare of the college. The Glee Club served it up with gusto and the Little Theatre rang with such varied melodies as Hoya, Tit Willow and Deep River. The Mikado was the success of the year. With much labor and under the expert leadership of Mother Morgan, Maria Hogan and Mr. Heinroth, the trials of Ko-Ko, the administrative ability of the Mikado, and the romance of Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum were presented with melody and charm. Ko-Ko, played dashingly by Mary Archer, winning the stony heart of Katisha, Helen Kiernan, fhe resolute spinster; Maryanne Harrington ' s strut as Pooh-Bah; and the flip little maids from school won well-deserved laurels. The work of the above mentioned triumvirate has given the Glee Club a niche in college life, a niche made honorable by the industry, ability and good spirit of every member of the Glee Club from fhe Lord High Executioner to the littlest maid from school. The object all sublime of the Glee Club is to present the college with music well done. The Tower kow-tows to the cast of the Mikado, Mother Morgan and Mr. Heinroth, and says with a characteristic Japanese grovel, it has been achieved in time and congratulations for a beautiful piece of work. One Hundred Fifteen 9 3 7 TOWER THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB Seated: Helen Harrigan, President. Standing (left to right): Rita Egan, Treasurer; Virginia Schumann, Secretary; Patria Tio, Vice-President. THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB W ITH Helen Harrigan, our dynamic president, to lead ' H ' HTEIPIA (Philosophy Club, to you), we plunged into contemporary psychology. We delved into many impressive tomes, with a committee of three to deal with each system, one person to defend Messrs. Dewey, Freud or Watson as the case might be, one to strive to annihilate him with a well-chosen phrase and a third member whose ticklish task was to judge him in the light of Thomism. Then fiery discussion followed. The Philosophy Club at times has taken on the appearance of a Bull Ring rather than the hoary-haired circle the non-philosophers have imagined it, and with a com¬ plete chatting knowledge of Behaviorism, Gestalt and Dream Psychology, we face the tea-tables and psycopathic discussions of the future, confident that our appren¬ ticeship in H ' HTEIPIA will enable us to convince the awed spectator that we know much more of contemporary psychology than we really do. One Hundred Sixteen 9 3 7 TOWER $ M B X Left to right: Mercedes Bosetti, Secretary and Treasurer; Betty Dalton, Vice-President- Marion Shale, President. C ) M B X W ITH an eye to the future, the Phi Mu Beta Chi, in May of iast year, established a club library which has steadily increased. It includes books, pamphlets and magazines which pertain not only to the specific sciences with which the club Is concerned, but also to related ones. Another innovation suggested by Mother Connick was the grouping of the members into four units according to the fourfold interest of the club, in order to facilitate the treatment of various topics. In this way the club discussed the Cultural Value of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, and the works of certain eminent scientists, after addresses were given on the subject by the students. The Calendar Reform was also treated from various angles. Miss Gartner and Miss Dever honored us by ably lecturing on the careers for women in the field of mathematics and the natural sciences. We were also fortunate in hearing Mr. Morrissey speak about Father Boscovich, S.J., and Mr. Mira explain How the Scientist Studies History. Lively, informal discussion formed an important part of each meeting. Cne Hundred Seventeen 9 3 7 TOWER THE CLASSICAL CLUB Left to right: Ann Wickham, Secretary and Treasurer; Betty Farley, President; Mary Hamilton Lee, Vice-President. THE CLASSICAL CLUB T HE plots hatched before the fireplace of the Benziger Building by a handful of Classical zealots, all directed to the end of convincing the undergraduate body that Latin and Greek are the least dead languages in the world, bear fruit a hundred fold. Last year the Classical Club, in glorious swan song for the year 1935-36, produced the Murder of Rizzio from Anderson ' s Mary of Scotland and The Choephorae —to show differing treatments of like themes in classical and modern times. Then, this year, they opened with two lecturers, Father Feeney, whose droll imitation of Achilles weeping for Briseus, was incomparable to the mind of Greek 3-4, and Fafher La Farge, who discussed Communism and Culture. All the grease paint, rehearsals and fine gestures that the Classical Club can offer at the altar of Apollo we will bring as libation bearers that our effort may repeat the success of last year, and make our fellow Manhattanvillians realize what a timely, human, fascinating thing a play written in the fifth century B. C. can be. One Hundred Eighteen 9 3 7 TOWER THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB Seated (left to right): Doris Herbermann, President; Margaret Lambert, Vice- President. Standing (left to right): Eileen Larkin, Secretary; Florence Oglietti, Treasurer; Laura O ' Farrell and Frances McGann, Program Committee. THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB T HE Social Science Club works on the thesis that even though we are mere women we ought to learn something. Not just things on Being or Cosines or the Law of Diminishing Returns, but useful, apropos things which may have a place in our lives, like Prevention of Crime or the Treatment of the Insane. With this in mind, the Social Science Club decides to keep us informed in practical matters through lecturers. Mr. John Dailey spoke at the November meeting on the prevention of crime; in December Captain Verleger, of Byrd ' s flagship, addressed all the members (this was informative but less practical, the average Manhattanville girl is not likely to go to the Antarctic). Dr. John McFee gave a fascinating talk on Treatment of the Insane. Mr. Dana Skinner gave in his first talk a resume of Calvin ' s influence on modern capitalism, and described a book on economics which he will soon publish. His next talk, to which we are all looking forward, is one in which he will disucss the possible remedies for the evils in capitalism. The Social Science Club has done much in keeping the college in touch with timely problems and their solution. One Hundred Nineteen 9 3 7 TOWER THE ENGLISH CLUB Seated: Ethel Stella, President. Standing (left to right): Helen Harrigan, Vice-President; Jane Walsh, Secretary; Agnes Boyland, Treasurer. THE ENGLISH CLUB T HE English Club, like all Gaul, is divided into three parts. There is the Poetry Unit, affiliated with no less august an association than the Catholic Poetry Society. This unit commenced by inviting Father Thornton to discuss the works of T. S. Eliof, which he did wifh much wit and illustration. The Criticism Unit is given over to fiery debafe. The Writing Unit deals with just that. The club as well as the Poetry Unit is headed in its first year (notably the hardest either in life or matrimony), by Ethel Stella; Helen Harrigan holds the gavel and the olive branch over the disputing Criticism Unit, and Loretto O ' Connell wields the pen-in-chief in the Writing Unit. The object of fhe club is a consfrucfive one ... to make poets, writers and critics of us. To the officers goes much credit for fheir time spent in forming and altering an experimental constitution and for sure, first steps which they have taken in direct¬ ing the club toward filling a real need in fhe extra-curricular activities of Manhattan- ville. May the efforts of a young and eager club bear fruit in the near future.

La primavera scorsa, nel teatrino, avemmo il piacere, di gustare un poemetto drammatico del Graf suHa vita di Dante, recitato dalle studenti d ' italiano. II nostro circolo e aggregato alia Federazione di Circoli Italiani con centro alia Casa Italiana di Columbia University. Ogni mese si ricevono dei periodici sugli affari italiani. La Presidente ha ricevuto parecchi inviti—tra i quali uno per tutto il Circolo di andare a vedere un cinematografo in colori con musica. II circolo intero e andato e ci siamo assai divertite perche il cinematografo era originale e dilettevole. In novembre Sua Eminenze il Cardinale Pacelli essendo a New York e venuto a Manhattanville.

DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN D ER deutsche Verein ist voriges Jahr gegrundet worden. Er war nicht sehr gross, aber er machte einen guten Anfang. Dieses Jahr mit zwanzig Mitgliedern nimmt er eine wichtige Stelle in unserem deutschen Kursus ein. Deutsche Musik ist unser besonderes Interesse, und a Me unsere Feste werden durch das Singen deutscher Lieder charakterisiert. Es ist iiberhaupt unser Ziel die Talente jedes Mitgliedes zu entwickeln, und dadurch gemutliche Dilettanten- Vorstellungen aufzufLihren. Wir machen Vorbereitungen nachstes Jahr eine Feierlichkeit fur das ganze College zu veranstalten. Es ist die erste zu der alle eingeladen sein werden, und hoffentlich wird es uns gelingen alle sehr gut zu unterhalten. Wir haben auch Plane einen deutschen Film mit englischen Erklarungen zu zeigen. Es ist unser ernster Wunsch mehr Studentinnen fiir unseren Verein zu interessieren. Wir wollen darin nicht nur Deutsch lernen, sondern wir wollen uns auch amusieren, und so die echte deutsche Gemutlickeit einfuhren. Unser Kreis hat sich schon seit vorigem Jahr merkwurdig vergrossert; hoffentlich wachst er immer weiter in Zahl und Geschicklichkeit. One Hundred Twenty-three 937 TOWER THE THUMB TACK CLUB Seated (left to right): Rita McDermott, President; Rosina Hourigan, Vice-President. Standing (left to right): Winifred Byles, Secretary; Norissa Thompson, Treasurer. THE THUMB TACK CLUB W ITH not a Gainsborough among us, the Thumb Tack Club has all the zeal and interest of a Royal Academy. To be sure, we have produced no portrait in oils and no duchess has sat for us, but the Thumb Tack Club has done constructive work in striving to present the beauty inherent in everyday things. The loveliness of a Gendel advertisement in Vogue, the dignity of a Fisher Body bill board, fhe cunning arrangement of a show-window at Christmastide, bright with translucent bubbles and holly, were shown in the first meeting. Next we studied formal and informal table setting. Flower arrangement suitable to season and the delicate figurines which embellish a formal dinner table were discussed and presented with slides. To celebrate the 600 th anniversary of Giotto ' s birth, Winifred Byles delivered a lecture entitled Giotto Lives. To put good taste and simplicity into practice, tc understand the uses and abuses of color and to recognize the charm found in familiar things, is the aim of the Thumb Tack Club. That we have been successful is due to the talents and indefatigable interest of Rita McDermott, our president, and the unfailing kindness of Miss Todd. One Hundred Twenty-four 9 3 7 TOWER THE CHOIR Left to right: Mimi Bourgeois, Mary Gertrude Starrs, President; Becky Cronin, Jean O ' Reilly. THE CHOIR T HE resounding of Gregorian Chant at the Sunday Missa Cantata is one of fhe star achievements of 1936-37, and praise for it is due to Mary Gertrude Starrs and the Choir. All honor, too, to the songsters of Pius XI. The college is now resting on its laurels of a fine repertoire of Masses. We cannot pass over without a word of appreciation to the college for its splendid co-operation. Mother Smith and Mother Morgan have given their services and time in the tribune for the Benedictions during October and May and at the regular Friday night meetings. The members have been inspired to learn the Proper of the Sunday Mass, even in the original Gregorian notation. Pius X Choir has set the standard; to it we turn as a model of excellence and zeal, with gratitude for its many favors. Finally, Reverend Mother Bodkin’s kind interest in our efforts has been a great incentive to us. The Tower feels that special tribute should be paid to the Choir and Mary Gertrude, for their Catholic spirit has done inestimable good in making liturgical music the vital thing it should be in our college life. One Hundred Twenfy-five 9 3 7 TOWER THE PITCH PIPE CLUB Left to right: Barbara Marion, Vice-President; Constance Donnelly, President. THE PITCH PIPE CLUB T HE Pitch Pipe Club is one of spectators: they listen and appreciate the excellent musical programs the officers provide. Whereas other clubs work themselves haggard, the Pitch Pipe members lean back and luxuriate in the melodies. Talent, energy, time . . . none of them are demanded of Pitch Pipers, but simply the affection for fine things. Mother Morgan and Constance Donnelly have led this club, chosen the artists who regaled us with their works, and provided an excellent series of programs this year. The musicians who were kind enough to favor us are the following: Samuel Carmel, a violinist; Charles Jones and Norman Jois; Miss Nita Gale, singer; Irene Ruppert, a pianist; and Miss Baul, who gave us a very instructive lecture on Chopin. These programs, which are open also to the college, have been well attended, and we feel that much gratitude is due to Mother Morgan and Connie, who have worked to provide us with so much that is exceptional in the artistic field. If the club produces intelligent, critical and discriminating audiences to people Town Hall in the future, we shall not cavil at the lack of undergraduate Olin Downes in the present. One Hundred Twenty-six ATHLETICS 9 3 7 TOWER Seated (left to right): Miss Farmer, Assistant Director; Marion Shale, President; Miss Sherwood, Director of Athletics. Standing (left to right): Catherine Reiley, Katherine Maher, Marjorie Powers, Manager; Mary Cohalan, Elaine Conway. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION T HIS yea r The Athletic Association was very happy to welcome Miss Martha Farmer as assistant to Miss Sherwood. She has shown keen enthusiasm tor all athletics, and because of this, has especially stimulated interest in diving and swim¬ ming. With the aid of Miss Sherwood and Miss Farmer, Mother Schroen, the faculty advisor, Marion Shale, president, and Margie Powers, manager, the standards of the Athletic Association were admirably upheld. As usual class hockey and basketball teams were formed, and the interclass games were scheduled. On account of the fine teams of fhe upperclassmen and the excellent material in the Freshman class, competition was strong and each class was filled with the spirit of inferclass games more than ever before. The intercollegiate hockey schedule was larger than in former years and the intercollegiate basketball schedule was excellent. Both Varsities upheld the Manhattan- ville standard. The college ' s interest in badminton, which Miss Sherwood introduced last year, has increased immensely. Because of the help given to our athletic director by her new assistant, people have been able to choose among various sports. The college thanks the Athletic Association for having increased the interest and sportsmanship of the college in athletics.

After an exhausting battle, the First Team was victorious. Playing Westchester, we main¬ tained the standard set last year and beat them by the same score. Of the Rosemont game little can be said; nevertheless, the fighting Irish of Manhattanville ' s eleven reinstated their position as hockey players and gloriously defeated N. Y. U. with outstanding passwork. Although the defeat by Long Island Field Hockey Association marred the hockey season, we really felt we gained something by losing to such a good team. The whole fight and spirit of the 1936 ' hockey season reached its height in the final victorious game with North Jersey.

The schedule was difficult and each game proved as exciting as was anticipated. Although the excellent teamwork, accurate passing and shooting was noticeable in every game, it was particularly outstanding in our encounter with William and Mary on the home court. At this game the numerous onlookers truly saw our Victory Team at the height of its excellence. The team attained to this acme during the last half of the game with Rosemont, also. Perhaps no game excited so much interest as our meeting with St. Joseph ' s on their court. Easily the most contested game of the season, Manhattanville rooters were overjoyed at the one point victory. Although many of the players were new to the Varsity Team, they quickly formed themselves with the older members, under the able direction of Miss Sherwood, into the closely knit unit that was more than capable of upholding the tradition of a Manhattanville basketball team. Instead of the three court game we have usually played, the two court was success¬ fully played on several occasions. This gives excellent promise for next year ' s Varsity and since we are losing only one player, Manhattanville can look forward next year to another successful season.

THE AQUATIC CLUB T HE Aquatic Club has been divided into three classes and as a result the interest in swimming is becoming more general. In the one meet which has been held so far this year, the Freshmen triumphed in almost all of the events. The diving is still showing constant improvement and in the following meets we are all looking forward to keener competition. The Aquatic Club, not content with fostering the interest of the college by inter¬ class meets, is sponsoring an exhibition of swimming and diving by Miss Thomas of Barnard College, and also slides of the Olympic stars. We are looking forward to a water carnival which, from all accounts, will surpass a real circus in mirth and enjoyment. One Hundred Thirty-four VARSITY TENNIS The Varsity Tennis Team last year was composed of: MONA SCHMID MARION SHALE MARY COHALAN GENEVIEVE O ' MALLEY MARIE LOUISE WATERS MARJORIE DELONE (Captain) L AS I year we were more fortunate in our matches than previously. Our downfall at Vassar was great, but our spirits have not been squelched. We look’ forward to our matches this year with more zest due to Miss Sherwood ' s encouraging enthusi¬ asm and we hope to live up to all expectations. Marjorie Delone, our captain, was the mainstay and our good fortune was for the most part due to her. Marie Louise Waters was our pride and we are very disappointed that she is not with us this year. Genevieve O ' Malley was persistent and relentless in her games to the dismay of her opponents. She was the winner of the school tournament cup. Mary Cohalan, the all-around athlete of the college, was always present to win her match and was the runner-up in the school tournament. Marion Shale did her share by her able support in the doubles team. Mona Schmid played an excellent game and is our Captain- elect for this year. Although the team has not yet been chosen we feel confident and are anxiously awaiting our first match. One Hundred Thirty-five 9 3 7 TOWER One Hundred Thirty-six 9 3 7 TOWER One Hundred Thirty-seven 1936 Current Events 1937 Vol. II College of the Sacred Heart No. I March 17— The Class of 1938 with much discussion chose the Board of this Tower, whereby this tale hangs . . . With this explanation, and with a full sense of our duty to maintain the high standard set by our predecessors, we put ribbon to typewriter and begin our chronicle of the Year of Our Lord, nineteen hun¬ dred and thirty-six . . . March 21 —An undefeated team tri¬ umphed over St. Joseph ' s, Brooklyn. The score of an exciting game was 29-26. March 25 —The college, resplendent in cap and gown, greeted His Excellency Bishop Donahue in the Little Theatre and presented Sanctity , a play on the appealing queen, St. Elizabeth of Hun¬ gary. Mother Saul was showered with praises for her expert and sympathetic direction and K. A. White was a lovely queen. The Bishop was kind in his praise and gave evidence of his satis¬ faction most satisfactorily by declaring a holiday. That evening Fr. Leo, O. M. Cap, de¬ lighted us by his singing of old English songs . . . Summer is a Icumen in to Nanki Poo ' s song covered a large variety of melody and ages, but the sweet voice of the little priest did justice to all the melodies. March 26 —One of the dramatic tri¬ umphs of Manhattanville, Mere Lecroix ' s production of Edmond Rostand ' s pa¬ thetic L ' Aiglon, stirred us. The char¬ acter of the eaglet was played exqui¬ sitely by Isabelle MacCafferty. Those who were privileged to attend this play will not forget the fiery Drapeaux scene or the weary prince kneeling on the field of Wagram. This play was directed with pace and vigor, and made the tragedy of the Duke of Reichstadt, and the beauty of Rostand ' s verse touching in the extreme. March 31 —The planting of the Senior Tree marked the exciting announcement that a new building was to be erected on our campus, a building, which as the Tower of 1936-37 goes to press, is an already familiar sight to those who siudy in the Senior Class Room. The drilling and hammering have provided the professors with opportunities for vocal exercises. April 2 —Dr. Thomas J. Moran gave us an illuminating discussion on the Parole System which not only in¬ structed us on a timely sociological problem but also moved us to form a resolution to remain on the healthy side of prison bars. April 22 —The Student Government were patronesses of the annual Mission celebration which was held instead of the traditional class entertainments. The Monte Carlo Fete was the dashing title of this affair, and a charming time was had, while the Missioners benefited by this party to the extent of $90.00. April 29 —Mother General ' s holiday was greeted by the conventual Donne nous un beau jour, and crowned by the Dramatic Club presentation of Rosalind and Shall We Join the Ladies, this last playlet, the unfinished vignette of Barrie, aroused such contro¬ versy that the Essay Board announced a contest with a prize to the playwright who wrote the best ending. But more of that later . . . May 6 —Captain Noel enrtanced the college with his colored pictures of Lourdes; they also found his accent intriguing. May 8 —The tennis match with New College finished with a victory for Man¬ hattanville, Mary Cohalan bringing all her Irish fight to the fore, Mona Schmid winning in the doubles and Margie Delone in the singles. May 9 —Manhattanville, with their best beaux and gowns trouped down to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for the annual and portentious tea dance. May I I —The Classical Club, after the Clubbians had remained in the quiet for the entire year, produced the Rizzio scene from Maxwell Anderson ' s Mary of Scotland and the mad scene from the Choephori by Sophocles. It was a triumph. May 13 -—With much splashing and clapping the swimming meet, the grand affair of the Aquatic Club, brought victory for the Sophomores and fun for all. It took place in the Benziger Build¬ ing and the Freshmen were a close second to the mermaids of the Class of ' 38. May 21—Dressed in our finest, we took our sister class down to the Park Lane where, in accompaniment to violin music and the splash of the mill stream, we lunched sumptuously. May 30—The Juniors next feted the lofty Seniors in a theatre party. They went to. weep and laugh at Parnell to have the hearts wrung by Kitty O ' Shea and Erin Go Bragh. June I —The Freshmen regaled the graduates with picnic fare in Libanus. June 3 —The Seniors offered their class play, McKaye’s Confessional, where Claire Caughlan won laurels again by her splendid characterization. The honors of the day she shared with Mary Mooney as the brisk surgeon who read the will of the dying Class of 1936. June 4 —Field day was held with cus¬ tomary spirit and the Freshmen won the cup. That evening the banquet, the feast of the departing daughters, and the serenade of their sister class showed the Seniors what we, who were losing them, felt. JUNE FIFTH Commencement . . . Imelda Choquette won singular honors, Summa Cum Laude for her outstanding work and masterly translation of the Petite Logique of Maritain . . . Irene Naughton won the short story medal, Betsy Walsh the poetry medal . . . Imelda, the essay medal . . . thus the diplomas were given out and we marched back sing¬ ing In Exultatione Metens hoping and praying that the Commencement of the Seniors in their new life may be as happy as they made the year of college peaceful and pleasant for us. Sept. I —Seniors in their ripe glory, Juniors settling down to the pomp of upper classmenship, Sophomores with the assurance of the tried and true, and Freshmen bewildered at the size and hubub of their recently acquired Alma Mater traipsed up and down the front stairs, stood in little groups in the corri¬ dors, embraced one another effusively or grasped schedules and chewed pen¬ cils . . . what is the cause of this sound and fury? College has reopened. On to the housewarming ... on to the clubs ... on to the hockey games. On, in short, to everything that makes Man¬ hattanville the intensely satisfying place it is. One Hundred Thirty-eight Oct. 7— The English Club covered itself and Father Thornton with glory by asking him to discuss T. S. Eliot for a college, the majority of whom did not even know that T. S. Eliot existed, and cared less. But by the time they learned that this bard had a Beacon Hill phobia that he wrote extensively on middle aged proposals and that his strongest themes are back alleys and alleycats . . . well, we all left the Little Theatre, our Shelley-and-Keats-bred souls wondering if there wasn ' t something in these new-fangled poets after all. Oct. ! —All the lower classmen turned Cinderellas and hung over the bannisters to gape at the big sisters going to the Ball . . . the Alumnae dance for the Seniors, was much appre¬ ciated and the turnabout regualtion of not coming in till 4 A. M. was quite a change from our usual 6:15 or else . . . rule. Oct. 18 —From ghoulies and ghosties and bogies and beasties and things that go Woo in the night, Good Lord de¬ liver us . . . but not from Senior parties. From fortune tellers to doughnuts and incantations in the Gym it was a joy of spookiness. Oct. 19 —Etching and how it is done . . . was explained to us very amusingly by Grant Reynard. I again must be¬ lieve in Genii, because with a makeshift stove and a scratch or so we saw a delightful etching concocted before our eyes. The other etchings . . . one of Dr. Walsh ' s fiddling and of Toscanini in repose were hung precariously along the cyclorama. Nov. 2—From the Mass on All Souls Day, the Juniors swaggered out for the first time, swollen with pride because we had our CAPS and GOWNS! ! ! Nov. 4— The college was honored by the visit of the Cardinal Protector of the Society, the Papal Secretary of State, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli. He is austere and tall, and his graciousness with Isabelle MacCafferty, who read the ad¬ dress of the college in her lovely Italian, touched us all. His Eminence could not but have been delighted with her accent and appearance. Then Mr. Holsapple made a speech in Latin, and his Latin for Use and Dr. Walsh ' s Isabella of Spain were presented to the Cardinal, both bound handsomely in leather. His Eminence made a few gracious remarks and proved himself a worthy Cardinal Protector by giving us a holi¬ day which was later augmented in honor of the Duchess (Mrs. Macaulay) to two holidays. I do not think that we will soon forget the stately, crimson-clad prelate who has so honored us with his presence. Nov. 5 —If you can judge a people by their drama, I think we can say that the Senior Class of 1940 is going to be as red blooded, vigorous, epic making a set of damsels as Calamity Jane or Barbara Fritchie . . . their performance in Cast Up By The Sea, etc., was as full of vitamins as spinach and a deal more appetizing . . . they had every thing but a stage coach hold up. Genevieve Fox, as the rheumatic Stern Parent, was enough to make their effete audience reach for the linament; the longshoremen, simple country lasses, prodigal sons and faithful retainers made the vicissitudes of Light House living poignanr and inspiring, and made us all grateful that we are landlubbers. Nov. 15 —Lectures by Fa ther Castiello, S.J. Father Castiello enthralled the col¬ lege with several lectures on the Mass and one on the social function of wo¬ men We were all inspired by his elo¬ quence and are greatly relieved to find out that he did go to Mexico after all, and returned to the country safe and sound. Nov. 17 —The Classical Club made its first most successful venture in the pub¬ lic eye by inviting Father Feeney to address the chosen few on The Roots of Civilization and Classical Man. Suffice it to say that that was not what Father Feeney talked about; he was much better than that. Two gems of pantomime, Achilles sniveling over Briseus and The Modern Girl after her Man will dwell in the hearts of all Greek students . . .in fact, at moments, I think Father Feeney is almost Homeric. Nov. 23 —All those who had frozen their ears and run risks of a blow from a hockey ball, received their reward at the Hockey Banquet. The good and faithful servants who had reported punctually for the fray; who had torn up and down the field, or nurtured chil¬ blains in the goalie cage, i. e. Toto Clark, received worsted hockey sticks and a badge. Those who did further in an extra-mural way were huzzaed and presented with their M; the still more lofty ones who had proved themselves seasoned warriors were given caps and finally the gold hockey stick. There were turkey plates and toasts, speeches and finally a movie on a suitable theme. Nov 24 —The Cornerstone for the New Building was laid with all pomp and circumstance. It is to be called the Reverend Mother Mary Moran Memorial Hall, in memory of the beloved found¬ ress of the college. But it is also a tribute to Mother Edmands, Mother Brownson, Mere Lecroix and Mother McLoughlin, all of whom worked so long and hard, who sowed in tears that we might in reaping sing. It is already an imposing structure: there are bed¬ rooms and adjoining baths on the two top floors, and class rooms below . . . Founder ' s Hall, with the Benziger Building, will swell the number of campus edifices . . . on to a Science Hall and Library! Dec. 2 —A mad and merry time was had by all in the Mid-Term Nightmare. The sleeping powder was administered by the Sophomore Class, and though the Freudian interpretation of this crazy Shakespeare might be alarming, indeed to Manhattanville it was high comedy. First there was Ginny Sheehan as a Third Avenue Hebrew. His spouse, a shrew, who could have done with a bit of tam¬ ing, was Lady Macbeth, and they were giving a party. Mrs. Capulets little boys, Ariel and Puck, annoy the kind host. Juliet appeared with trained nurse in tow attended by a hilarious group of strangers she had gathered up at a cocktail party, and retired to sulk when they desert her standard to swarm Cleopatra. The Sophomore Class literatae, Mar¬ garet MacCormack, Ginny Sheehan and Agnes Boyland deserve high praise for their ingenuity and adaptation or mangl¬ ing of the bard. Something tells me the Sweet Swan of Avon would certainly become a dying one, so was he murdered. Dec. 7 —The missions benefited by the Seniors ' production. The fee was a toy for the children of the Barat; if the children enjoyed the blocks and cars as much as we did the Senior entertain¬ ment, the Settlement must have been a gay place on Christmas Eve. Famous men and women were pre¬ sented to us . . . among this Hall of Fame were: Mary Archer . . . Napoleon complete, with spit curl on her marble brow, and fishy stare. Margery Molineux . . . Little Lord Fauntleroy in black velvet and Irish lace. Ginny Schumann ... as II Duce in his black shirt and jutting jaw. Viva Mussolini! Agnes Milne . . . with a monocle, smirking, foppish, was Disraeli ... so realistic was her interpretation from pointing toe to curl, one could well imagine the Widow of Windsor was in the next room, or perhaps the outraged face of Gladstone glaring at the dapper genius who made England an empire. One Hundred Thirty-nine Dec. 16 —The Classical Club followed up Father Feeney ' s lecture with one by Father La Farge On Communism and Culture. Jan. 12 —After the Christmas vaca¬ tion we returned blanching at the pros¬ pect of the days of Reckoning . . . which numbered about ten and began about the Ides of January . . . Brrrr. One of the first distractions which the faculty provided, lest our poor brains become crazed with terror at the prospect of the examinations, was a joint discussion between Pierre Claudel and Father Feeney. Pierre is the great man ' s son, and notwithstanding, seemed quite an excellent talker himself. He seemed to feel that his father had more or less run wild in The Satin Slipper, touching it up with his theories on art and music and thrusting the Panama Canal in the middle of the sixteenth century. Father Feeney ' s talk might be condensed to My Impressions of Prou- heze. It was all very informative and took our minds off what was coming. Judgment Day . . . When the Dean ' s list is up. Feb. 9 —The President ' s holiday was commenced by five scenes from M. Claudel ' s fifty odd, of the Satin Slip¬ per. Everyone buckled down to make the production a success, exquisite light¬ ing and handsome costumes . . . Betty O ' Donoghue lordly in black velvet as Don Roderigo, Isabelle McCafferty as Prouheze in her wine colored gown and Marie Stuart cap, the blue light over the angel in Prouheze ' s tent ... In fact it was a polished, spiritual per¬ formance. In the evening the delightful produc¬ tion of the Mikado produced guffaws, snickers, chortlings, and ended a pleasant holiday. RETREAT March 7-11 —The Retreat opened Sun¬ day night. Father Weizel, the head of Georgetown Preparatory, left his little charges long enough to give us a splen¬ did retreat. It was spiritual, practical and interesting. If Father Weizel un¬ derstands the prep school youth as well as he does the college girl his school must be an enviable place. March I !—French play, a parlor comedy, Primerose, was as beautifully staged as all Ma Mere ' s plays are, directed with force and charm, and amused the college mightily. Genevieve O ' Malley as a Merry Widow, Georgina Rintelen as a Cardinal, with a strong belief in the Sacrament of Matrimony, and Mercedes Bossetti as the ingenue, who proposes to her love, eventually enters and leaves her convent to wed him, did delightfully. Our literary editor Toto Clark as Butler had difficulty with cues and trousers. Ginny Sheehan as the lay-sister, should receive honor for her work in a comic part, and Ma Mere above all for giving us another good play. March 15 —Pius Xth Music School held its annual recital in the Town Hall. Our better natures were systematically ap¬ pealed to and various incentives, such as a list of the Godly stuck on the Bulletin Board, were placed before us, and in consequence a delegation of two hun¬ dred went to grace the occasion and applaud violently. March 17 —Manhattanville had the great honor and joy of welcoming Rev¬ erend Mother Perry, Assistant General for the English speaking houses of the Society, on March 17th. The Glee Club sang and Jane Moran made an address in the name of the college. Reverend Mother remained at Manhattanville dur¬ ing her brief stay in New York, where we remember her with affection and admiration. DRAMATIC NOTES That does not mean that we claim the ensuing article has more of the stuff of life in it than anything that has pre- ceeded it in this chronicle, but, it means that the Dramatic Association, after bevies of girls had sought in collections of plays, others had worn off good Cutex by hemming, and last, but not least, an even larger group had tired their vocal chords and creased their brows over memorizing parts ... in fact that the Dramatic Association was on the Boards for the first time in 1936-37. Flash —The Minuet . . . memorable for its poetry, for Ann Wickham ' s pains¬ taking and dignified characterization of the condemned but elegant Marquis . . . for Jacqueline MacCarthy ' s flippant and finally heroic Marquise . . . for the silvery green and grey of the coloring . . . the co-ordination . . . Flash —- All on a Summer ' s Day, a stylized but charming vignette built around the theme of what every woman wants. Notable ... for Betty Clarke ' s flounce and Kit McLoughlin ' s twitters. Flash — Trysting Place, Tarkington and the Summer Hotel, love ' s young dream, for auld acquaintance and that old sweetheart of mine is blended into a unified farce of Middle Western ac¬ cent and Seventeenish flavor. Praised . . . for Mary Cohalan ' s por¬ trayal of puppy love . . . Virginia Shee¬ han for the tired business man turned Romeo, note the strutting plus fours . . . Amy Clarke as the peevish Juliet. The Dramatic Club has bought a large number of blocks, with which we hope to build mountains, thrones, and back stairs, as it suits the play in hand. So perhaps we can give Moses praying on the summit, or just a tavern scene with the villain stumbling into the waiting ambush. However, we think that our shekels have been well invested. A word of praise should go to the President of the Association who has proved herself an actress-manager of the Henry Irving type. As good at wringing the heart as the curtain bell; as patient in studying her own part as helping others to understand theirs; as inspiring in the wings as she is behind the footlights; as appreciative of the clumsy efforts of her underlings as she is of the applause of her audience . . . to Mary Martha Nokely who has directed a very successful Season. She desirves well of us, for she has served us well. One Hundred Forty Hoped for . . . Twelfth Night which has been carved and peppered to suit; Ginny Sheehan ' s Feste and Mary Martha Nokeley ' s (president!) Sebastian prom¬ ise to be exceptional. The rehearsals are many and arduous and the director is most devoted. Gratitude, heartfelt gratitude to the Director, Mrs. Livingston, who has done immeasurable things for the Dramatic Club in improving the pace, under¬ standing and moulding of the parts. ATHLETIC EXCERPTS Flash —The Greenwich game Goal by Miss Powers defeats West¬ chester, I-0 . . . With five minutes to go, Miss Marjorie Powers registered to decide the honors . . . Miss Mary Beth Tobin, Manhattanville right half and captain, kept on pressing her team in Westchester territory. Flash —William and Mary game. Vic¬ tors display power . . . Misses Conway and Cohalan lead in scoring . . . Man¬ hattanville, recognized as one of the strongest local teams, not excepting even the association squads. Flash —N. Y. U. game . . . The scarlet costumed field hockey players of Man¬ hattanville yesterday maintained their reputation as the metropolitan district ' s strongest women ' s college team by soundly defeating the New York Uni¬ versity eleven, 8-1. Flash —North Jersey game. Field hockey team closes regular campaign with brilliant triumph in Central Park contest—Miss Cohalan tallies two goals and also excels on the defense . . . despite the chilly weather a large crowd circled the playing field and was treated to a contest that bristled with action without . . . the stellar work of Miss Mary Cohalan . . . Miss Mary Beth Tobin, who scored the winner ' s other tally, and the elert Miss Elaine Conway . . . with five minutes of the game remaining, Miss Tobin stole the ball from a bulley and sent it past the rival goalie, who was caught completely unawares. BASKETBALL Flash—Miss Cohalan as star, gains scoring honors with 16 points in basket¬ ball test ... it was the victor ' s forty- first consecutive success over a four- year period for the Scarlet and White . .. GLEE CLUB Illuminated parchment could scarcely do justice to the work of the Glee Club this year . . . there is fiery stuff in Mother Morgan and Maria Hogan and they deserve praise for the achievements of the Club. The Christmas Carols ... in the Read¬ ing Room, and whereas that is a disap¬ pointment to those who like to see blue¬ nosed wakes, holding lamps standing out in a snowy courtyard so that the God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen rises thin and clear into the dark, and for a mo¬ ment we seem to be back in the age of doublet and hose, of squire on his pal¬ frey, of Dame Plum Pudding and the Cushion . . . oh, well I suppose we must have Progress even in our carols. Be it said that the Reading Room was charmingly adorned with a brick fire¬ place and several expectant looking socks, and the carols were sung with spirit and sweetness. A SOURCE OF INNOCENT MERRIMENT Hurrah for Gilbert and Sullivan! For Mother Morgan. For Mr. Heinroth! For Ko-Ko, Nanki Poo, Katisha, Pooh Bah, Yum-Yum and class mates, for the Mikado, for Titipu, for the orchestra, for the person who pulled the curtain, for the stepladder that Mother Morgan stood on . . . Hurrah and handshakes for EVERYONE! ! The simple, but delicately decorated decor, the magnificent costumes, the imposing chorus, the spirited interpre¬ tations of the leads! The entire Club showed excellent spirit in working for this performance and their efforts were crowned with signal success. Mary Archer, with a pill box hat and roistering comedy sense, did justice to the ineffable Ko-Ko, her scene with Ka¬ tisha (Helen Kiernan, who brought the finest voice, a contralto, to the produc¬ tion), was the essence of Caspar Mil¬ quetoast in kimona and queu. Yum-Yum won an encore for her ren¬ dition of the Moon and I and she was as saucy a heroine as any of the many histronic ladies who have loved and all but lost. Becky Cronin and Jo Cullen were tittering maidens, one with her eye on Pish Tush and Pooh Bah, snicker¬ ing, prancing. They were as lively as the Three Little Maids from School. Mary Anne Harrington, as the pompous Pooh- Bah, and Jean O ' Reilly, as Nanki Poo, did splendidly, the first by her acting, the latter with her lovely voice.

He said, ' It’s time for daughter Dorothy (that’s me, you know) to start eating canned strained vegetables’. Was I excited! At last a little va¬ riety in my menus. And look how I’m growing to be a big girl already!” Doctors recommend canned infant food for two reasons. They are made more digestible by very fine straining, A M E RI ( which is a difficult if not impossible task in the home kitchen. And they’re sealed-cooked —cooked, as all canned foods are cooked, in the can after the can is sealed—a process that con¬ serves in high degree important nu¬ tritive values. Vitamin C is one of these. When you cook vegetables at home, the cook¬ ing is usually done in an open vessel, which means that vitamin C is liable to destruction by oxygen of the air. But in the canning method, cooking is done after most of the air has been removed from the can. Thus vitamin C is afforded a high degree of protection.
