FOREWORD I N the 1939 spirit of the future, Manhattanville too, looks at the world of tomorrow, and builds her towers high. Founded on faith and loyalty, the Copper Tower gleams in the sunlight of today and points to a shining tomorrow. Not isolated, our towers are deeply- rooted in the past, and strong in the present. It is the future toward which they are straining, a future of progress — not in the circle of the Perisphere hut in the circle of truth, not in the great simplicity of the Trylon, but in the grandeur of knowledge. I his hook, inspired by loyalty to the memory of Patrick Cardinal Hayes, attempts not to recount, but to foreshadow. In the reaching and soaring of our towers, we too desire to reach and to soar, not in power and glory, hut in gentleness and charity. IN MEMORIAM Pope Pius XI T HE death of Pius XI. two hundred and sixty-first Pope in succession to St. Peter, stirred the entire world. Not only to millions of Catholics, hut to people of all faiths everywhere, irrespective of race and religion, the news of his passing brought sorrow and concern. In a period of history shahen by new creeds and philosophies, Pius XI stood firm against the forces of persecution and infidelity, raising his voice for tolerance and peace and justice when the standards of intolerence and war and injustice seemed triumphant throughout the world. Weary of the threat of war, the nations have directed their thoughts and prayers to the man whose last words were reported as, Let there be peace. Patrick Cardinal Hayes T HE death of our beloved “Cardinal of Charities” cannot be written of save with the profoundest regret and sorrow. He whom we came to love by reason of his work and spirit exerted an influence that was extraordinary in his own diocese and in even wider fields ' an influence which was, although intangible, none the less powerful. It will not soon be forgotten with what gentleness Patrick Cardinal Hayes guided and protected his flock, with what patience he pursued the arduous duties of Archbishop of the Diocese of New York, with what tolerance he preached the gospel of his faith, with what charity he lived and encircled the lives of those who shared his interest and devotion. Eigkt IN MEMORIAM Mrs. W. J. Babington Macaulay M ourned as one of the outstanding Catholic Iaywomen in the United States and Europe, Mrs. Macaulay died in Rome on November 24, 1938. Educated at Elmhurst and Manhattanville, her qualities and deeds were essentially in the spirit of the Sacred Heart. She founded the Carroll Club for girls in New York, and was a member of the Social Service Committee for the City Hospital. A Papal Duchess, she was honored by Pope Pius XI, and in 1934 received the Laetare Medal annually awarded by the University of Notre Dame to an outstanding member of the Catholic Laity. Her broad vision and sense of social responsibility made her a great woman, known and respected throughout the LInited States and Europe. But she is far more than great in the hearts of those whose causes she endowed with interest and devotion, to whom she gave of herself. Mother Antionette Spies T HE unexpected news of the death of Mother Spies at Roehampton recalled many memories and evoked many regrets among the former students of Manhattanville. Early in the World War, Mother Spies came to the Lhiited States, and for more than seventeen years she taught at Manhattanville, w ith the exception of a short period at Maplehurst. Mother Spies was horn in H olland. b ler character was marked with strong indi¬ viduality ancl her pupils were deeply influenced by her virile intelligence and inflexible will. Pier zeal for the missions was communicative and her willingness to assist others was proverbial. So it was that when she was called to Roehampton in 1952, the College lost one of its founders whose memory wi [I he faithfully treasured.

Convent of the Sacred Heart One East 91st Street New York, New York I N four years of college she has accomplished what every Freshman thinks is simple and what every Senior knows is almost impossible — she has worked in an orderly, rational way so that now the results fit neatly together like a cross-word puzzle where you know all the words. She has an eerie way of succeeding quite effortlessly and naturally, as if by pre-c lestination and to see her go into anything today is to he sure that she will come out of it tomorrow with all its bric-a-brac of offices and honours. Where the Debating Club is concerned Kay is, of course, involved in a very special way being President every day and featured attraction on important occasions, such as pu blic debates. Tvventv-four 9 3 9 TOWER E ITHER because of or in spite of the fact that sbe is majoring in a stern unyielding subject Dorothy is cheerfully, but not fanatically, intense about everything that she does. Biology and chemistry demand, like petulant children, quantities of patient attention but though other interests and activities may not shriek as loudly they get, at Dorothy s hands, the same earnest consideration and almost the same extravagant out-lay of energy and time. She is quite rightfully the president of Phi Mu Beta Chi. and she takes more than a scientific part in the proceed¬ ings of the Camera C lub which is adequate proof that she is far from being localized in her approach to her subject.

Major — English. Agnes Boyland, E. de M. Academy of Mount St. Ursula New York, New York I N her own field she is always able to find the highest praise and the widest publicity. Her short stories are breathlessly discussed all over the campus three months before the publication of the Essay so that, when they finally arrive, they are met by a large and impatient welcoming committee. None of her literary efforts ever really need this synthetic build-up but the advance notice should be statistically inter¬ esting as an index to her popularity ■— 1 which is dependably firm as com¬ pared with that of most unfortunate contributors. Since Agnes is such a good writer it is only appropriate that she should be one of the pillars of the English Club — which she is. Twenty-six 9 3 9 TOWER T HERE are very few things at college that haven t benefited by the exhilarating effect of Braddy s enthusiasm. Her unflagging interest coidcl revive the feeblest enterprise, her ability to believe that th ings are worthwhile is like a restorative and can convince even the most skeptical of her confreres. She is never a wearisome crusader because she woulcln t think of approaching her pet projects with sententious and dutiful dullness; instead she applies a lot of obvious enjoyment to the work she has to do, with an ulterior motive this would be like Tom Sawyer painting the fence. However, we think that she writes good short stories and debates well and plays earnestly for the class teams because she can find amusement and pleasure even in hard things. Helen Bradford, E. de M.

St. Agnes Academy, Rockville Center, Long Island, New York S ARA, besides Laving enough determination to drag any project through, if necessary by force, is blessed with the wit and the social graces to be able to cause these revolutions painlessly and diplomatically. She can be, on occasions, the very grande dame but at other times she is unconstrainedly friendly and riotously exuberant. All of which means not that she has a chameleon disposition, changing senselessly, but that she can adapt herself gracefully and effortlessly to suit any situation. She is kind and thoughful in circumstances that others, less observant, would ignore and yet she is never solemn and sententious about it, her sense of humor is too good for that. Twenty-eight 9 3 9 TO W E R S HE is effective without being obvious and capable without having the depressingly predictable qualities of an adding machine, d his, of course, we got by induction because Helen is, outwardly at least, as enigmatic and as easily analyzed as a sentence by James Joyce. But to judge by the impressive array of things that she has done, especially for the Missionary Association, she must certainly have a hidden streak of strong administrative ability. Perhaps, what is most striking about her is the way she accomplishes these minor marvels, unhurriedly and unostentatiously with that strange, admirable reserve that she never loses.

DE M. Convent of tbe Sacred Heart Noroton, Connecticut I N tbe midst of time-table precision and all complicated systems for evolving a basty pudding of achievement Austin is like an exponent of tbe Simple Life. She does everything with a drawl. She goes to classes in a leisurely, undisturbed sort of way just as if she were acting casually upon impulse instead of being grimly impelled by a schedule and its guardian angel, the Registrar s List. She is admirably exclusive in her choice of things to do and in the way she does them and from her flawlessly unruffled manner one would suppose that nothing ever disturl aed her equanimity. It’s difficult to imagine her being efficient and business-like but then it’s so much more becoming for her not to be. Thirty 9 3 9 TOWER Q UEENIE would be extraordinary even if sbe weren t preceded by a drum and bugle corps of impressive activities; like tbe Saint Patrick’s Day Parade they lend a certain lively, lusty air but we re sure that sbe would be just as militant and just as effective if sbe were marching alone. Being generously endowed witb all tbe force and de¬ termination necessary for an organizer sbe is able to start things and, once they are started, can keep them running smoothly by tbe dynamic and rather ruthless power of her conviction. Since sbe never uses half¬ way measures sbe never gets half-way results; even in her drawings sbe can’t disguise the vibrant, uncompromising quality of her aggressive individuality.

Academy of Mount Ursula Bedford Park, New York, New York A LTHOUG1 I she does everything with restraint and rarely becomes outwardly vehement about anything, Marea has accomplished a great deal, and what she has done is always the more admirable because she never heralds her deeds-about-to-be by press releases calculated to edify the gullible public. We admire the reticence with which she succeeds. Having seen her do, without complaint or cajolery, those illi¬ mitable French exercises that the rest of us squirmed under, it seems only just that she should have the lofty position of secretary of the Cercle as the most elementary recognition of her work. She has done as well on the Essay board and as an officer of the Debating Club, doing all the hard things with the same quiet and unobtrusive deter¬ mination. Thirty-two 9 3 9 T O W E R S HE has the originality to do the things that she wants to when she wants to do them and in the way that pleases her. To those who have less spirit or less imagination, her brave escapades always seemed fraught with danger hut nonetheless thrilling, and, from the point of view of conversation at breakfast, full of rare possibilities. Amy enlivens her own life and ours, with such vigor in the pursuit of this or that, that she has suddenly thought of, that we are not surprised at her energetic approach when applied to some social movement such as a crucial hockey game or a class entertainment, that needs to he stirred up with a little amiable spontaneity.

Begin¬ ning, anything but humbly, as a fervent partisan of Philosophy and Catholic Action she has become the main support of an army of organi¬ zations. As the founder of the fabulously successful Catholic Press Association and the originator of all sorts of bold schemes to further benefit her lofty interests, she has managed to keep the attention and the cooperation, of the college at a feverish pitch, first by suggesting and then by accomplishing the impossible. She has the vitality of a whirlwind and it shows in everything that she does, even in quite mundane things like playing hockey and explaining Metaphysics to the uninitiated so that it sounds almost as painless to them as it does to her.

When she settled down and arranged herself and her interests in all the most impressive sociological circles she did it naturally and effortlessly and so well that, in no time at all. she was scholastically and otherwise a completely naturalized and welcomed citizen.

Major —■ History. He i ,en Theresa Curtin, E. de M. Rosary Academy Watertown, Massachusetts S INCE Helen is not blatantly obvious like a subway poster, she and her work are happily unhindered by all the tumult and the shouting that usually heralds the approach of the widely advertised. In working quietly and w ith the methodical care of a fastidious person, she accom¬ plishes in leisure w hat we are forced to do in haste. She never indulges in war-like aggression nor yet in unmannerly retreats, instead, she holds her ground with firm but polite conviction and doesn t try to coerce anyone, not even herself. With all of this she has a keen unobtrusive sense of humor that she doles out in wisely small portions like relief rations. Thirty-eight 9 3 9 TOWER N ORA, to the envy of the glum and the consternation of the timid, seems always on the way to or from something unexpectedly exciting. Since she is never secretive or coyly apologetic about her en¬ joyment we have found numberless occasions, while merely sitting in the gym, to take part vicariously in the latest of her thrilling experiences. Her days of rejoicing are like national holidays and so we all join in. To hear her talking about any of these inv igorating events is almost as good as having, actually been there and, since she is usually inv olved in something daring, probably a lot safer. But the breathless quality that belongs to everything that she does is so gay and so utterly good humored that we infinitely prefer it to even the most secure and com¬ fortable caution.

Major i — 1 History. Mary Virginia Dailey, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Rochester, New York S HE has as carefree a disposition as anyone could hope to retain through four years of continuous mental hazards. When she works it is worthwhile and she gets results and when she enjoys herself, by the same application, she succeeds wholeheartedly and with an engaging lack of compunction. Quite by chance, things seem always to ht in nicely for her without any frantic planning on her part or any frantic pushing on anybody s else s. Perhaps a leisurely look and being a history major and having to lead a life of long assignments may sound incom¬ patible for most people who haven t a gift for combining things ■— hut it doesn’t seem hard for Ginny. Forty 9 3 9 TOWER P erhaps it is because sbe charts her course with sucb far-seeing care that Julia s projects seem to lead a charmed life, free from sudden shocks and horrible mishaps. She never leaves anything to chance and never does anything by whim and so the results that she invariably gets are so well calculated as to have an eternally pre-destined look.

As it is, it has proven an undisguised bless¬ ing, not only for her, hut also for those two chief beneficiaries of everything musical, the Glee Club and the Choir.

We are instinctively cowed by the thought of anyone being able to succeed so effortlessly in the vague and scattered and eclectic realm of Sociology and, at the same time and to the same extent to do well, in the concentrated and exacting field of History. Curiously enough, in spite of all this, Shelley manages to do without the glum ravages of over-work and she has a disposition as pleasant as if she did nothing. Seventy-two 9 3 9 TOWER S HE is one of the few people able to do a favour so graciously as to give the gratifying impression that she values the pleasure of the receiver more highly than she does any inconvenience of her own. Besides being blithely good-natured upon principle, Mary Alice is able to give the things that she undertakes a certain air of frivolous un¬ concern that may he somewhat foreign to sociological tangles and educational problems in the natural state hut she could probably humanize anything, merely by contact.

She looks as if she lived a nicely patterned life, full of proper thii rgs all carefully shelved and marked and arranged in the right order. From the results that she gets it wouldn t he hard to imagine her spending most of her time merely accomplishing this external wonder. But this is so far from the truth in her case as to be fantastic and quite unthinkable. She has, on the contrary, scattered her time and her interests in a generous way over a variety of assorte d activities and has been a class benefactress on Council and committees, which is proof of virtue of the social kind. Seventy-four 939 T O W E R T O the harried majority that is forever on the verge of drowning scholastically in the midst of the extra-curricular flotsam and jetsam Lillian seems a paragon of wisdom, most generously endowed with common sense. Instead of letting her major interest die of malnutrition while she is frantically tending all sorts of subsidiary subjects she has devoted her energy exclusively to one thing —• which has proven to he well worthwhile. Since she is specializing in Sociology, and, to a lesser degree, in History she has restricted and concentrated her enthusiasm in the most effective way, that is by keeping within her own field not only in her choice of cla sses hut also in her outside activities.

It wasn t just a case of grabbing around for extra-curricular colonies either; she hasn’t been amassing club memberships and their attendant duties merely for the sake of being imposing because she always takes an earnest and, what is still better, an energetic part in all the activities with which she has had even the most distant alliance. English and swimming and debating and dramatics have, with dozens of other things, held her, anything but shortsighted, attention. Seventy-six 939 TOWER S HE could easily furnish an object lesson in tbe refined art of handling people and directing them in the most determined yet painless fashion. Betty is, however, dictatorial not in her methods which are innocently ingratiating, but only in the deceptive aspect of her results and these shine so resplendently that they usually have about them an unhallowed look of force; it always seems incredible that such wonders should have been brought about by a bloodless revolu¬ tion. But everyone that has ever worked with her knows that she relies more on charm than on compulsion and with that simple formula and natural efficiency she made a tremendous success of the editing of last year’s ' Tower’’ and of the management of the technical side of the Dramatic Club.

What is strangest of all is that she is able to act quite simply and unaffectedly about her major accomplishments just as if they weren’t entirely exceptional and almost unique of their hind. Her work has come to mean with us perfection, underlined. Like her work she has reached the advanced and enviable stage where correct¬ ness and unimpeachable precision make up a very comfortable and consoling second nature, and the virtues in her cahier de Iitterature are found in absolutely everything that she does. Seventy-eight 9 3 9 TOW E R QHE is as calmly and effectively executive as if she ruled by Divine Right ' — with no questions asked. She does things on an impres¬ sively large scale and chooses to direct, not the localized and limited gatherings that most of us succumb to but those vast and spreading organizations with a universal sound. It is typical of Louise to succeed as high commander, and, as President of the National Federation of Catholic College Students and as chairman of committee after com¬ mittee she has managed to keep both Manhattanville and herself prominently in the foreground.

She has done two things at the same time, and. as a refutation of what is usually the second part of the thesis, she has done both of them magnificently. Having the reassuring background of a close acquaintance with History and Sociology she is able to debate with the zeal and fluency of a political reformer, and, since she is such a finished performer in public, she is just as impressive playing hockey in Central Park or giving a diving exhibition during one of the swim¬ ming meets that she organizes efficiently and successfully. As the capable president of the Athletic Association she has shown the same energetic, undaunted initiative that we know will carry her far. Eighty-two 9 3 9 TO W E R T HAI Martina has moral stamina and unswerving strength of pur¬ pose is conclusively proven by the fact that she is majoring in French in the grand manner.

Major — Sociology Nadine Teller New Hartford School Utica, New York N AD preserves a balance of power between her work and that unclassifiable contingent — her non-work so that she is never driven to distraction by either of these warring factions. She manages to be calm and unruffled without being placid and smug, and to see her sitting in the gym at tea-time, knitting methodically and talking in that slow voice is to marvel at the imperturbable poise that never seems to desert her even under the weirdest circumstances. In a vague, abstracted way she writes remarkably good short stories with startling, Dostoievskian overtones of gloom. These are just a by-product and not by any means the sum of her achievements for she shines respectably in her own chosen field of Sociology and in the fine art of leisure as well. Eighty-six 9 3 9 TO W E R W E would like to think that, even if she weren’t President of Student Government we woidd still be able to recognize and fully appreciate those qualities that are Pam’s quite apart from the illusions and distortions of high position. The credit that is due her belongs, not to the idealization of an office nor to the disguising and dramatizing effects of the honour conferred upon her hut to the use to which she put those things that might have eclipsed or overshadowed her had she been smaller than they. To us she was always more than the mere personification of an organization and now, proud of her success, we realize how that same organization is indebted to her for having benefited for four years by her sincere and humourous toler¬ ance and that flexibility of judgment and justice that was wiser than force.

Major — Biology M ARIAN has wisely specialized interests and, though they require careful attention, they are never, with her rigidly exclusive. She is strenuously scientific and majoring in biology and minoring in chem¬ istry it would he easy to make a fetish of the experiments waiting so patiently in the laboratory — when waiting for a miracle in a test-tube other things can hastily be forgotten. But for Marian these considera¬ tions are primary but not solitary. She belongs to organizations that keep her in touch with things non-scientific but important all the same. The German and Social Science Clubs have proof that she does well on her excursions into foreign fields and there are dozens of other witnesses wi th the same testimony. Eighty-eight 939 TOWER I F graciousness and consideration were not middle-aged virtues they would be completely characteristic of Sally — perhaps with all their pompousness subtracted and most of their seriousness removed they might be. She has the rare faculty of being painlessly helpful because she never adopts the dentistish attitude of Oh. how-good-this-is-for- you” and therefore being helped by her is nicer than having been helped by other people; she can make the operation as pleasant as the result. With her charmingly innocent surprise in the midst of a welter of English papers and her long-suffering resignation before an avalanche of French she has become, like those perpetual parties she used to give in her room during Silent Hour, a local tradition and a myth.

For in the dynamism of life, wherein all good things must end, Seniors are Seniors for the hare instant of an academic year. And then, suddenly, they are graduates. As the thought of graduation becomes more imminent, we are reminded of all that has gone before, of four years of happy preparation, four years of studying hard, of making friends, of finding new interests; three years of growing up, losing your Freshman naivete, your Sophomore insouciance, your Junior year’s taste of independence, till at last you are Seniors, leaders of the college. We, whom you leave behind, have come to appreciate your worth. We say goodbye to you sadly, although we know that you will, in a sense, remain. You will remain in the memory of us who are still here. You will linger in your achievements, individually, — and as a class in the tree you plant, in your class song, in the heart of Ma Mere. Many of you will bring renown to your college with your talents and your will to succeed. But all of you, no matter what your future, will bring to the paths you walk, that intangible character which is yours for having spent four years, increasing in wisdom and age at Manhattanville.

A little sobered, perhaps, at the thought of the beginning of the end, we are still a very happy crew. But we are also merciful and compassionate and proffered succour in the form of a tea to our bewildered Freshmen sisters as these hapless newcomers returned from a Week in Coventry. We went dauntless to the hockey fray and emerged defeated hut smiling. With un¬ erring accuracy we achieved the same startling residt in the Basketball tournament; show¬ ing that consistency is ever our strong point. The Junior Class play, received with glee by the college, set forth in smashing satire, the horrible effects of: ' Higher education, a pitfall and a snare, A trap to catch our happy youth, and age our features fair! In this biting fantasy was portrayed the steady deterioration of the college girl until, as a Senior, she falls victim to pre-senile decay. Phantom Isle told the wistful tale of a group of collegiennes who, goaded to the point of madness by Bells! Bells! Bells!, seek escape in this lonely place. Her e they remain lulled by a false sense of security, until Professor Muddlemore Addled, shipwrecked on this shore, convinced them that they had an ontological existence in extramental reality. They decide that if he is sane, they are mental giants, and all return to the mainland. Through the interesting lectures of our Warden, Mother Williams, on the old traditions of Manhattanville, we have acquired a sense of following in a long-established tradition which has given meaning to many of the things we were accustomed to take for granted. Having strengthened the feeling of kinship with those who have gone before, we must turn our attention now to those who will come after us, the Towers of the huture!

Whether it is arts and sciences or tennis and golf, these eager neophytes bring to all they undertake a zest¬ ful spirit. For the brief period of a week they engaged in a spirited persecution of the Freshmen. However, with the cessation of hostilities, these two classes became and are still the closest of friends. A friendly rivalry between ihem sprang up again on the hockey field, when the Sophomores went gracefully to defeat after a hard fought game. The tables were turned in the Basketball Tournament in which the Sophomores won the cup. The quick sense of humor of this class was displayed in their amusing and pertinent comedy on World Events. Politics in Profile ’ is the valuable revelation of a dream dreamt in economics class. The awareness of contemporary events which was shown in Politics in Profile’ is no less a characteristic of the Sophomores than their uproarious presentation of the current foreign situation. 1 he side-splitting picture of three rather prominent dicta¬ tors in various stages of retarded development and many other highlights too numerous to recount shall not he soon forgotten by the college. The Sophomores, under the tutelage of Mother Keyes as Warden, have thrilled us with their athletic prowess, regaled us with their entertainment, and have made us respect their intellectual accomplishments.

As we think back on the brief span during which we have known this class, it is clear to us that it was no mere concurrence which brought the two together; it was altogether in the fitness of things. For this Freshman Class is indeed a remarkable one. Its membership exceeds that of any former Freshman Class, but it is not their number alone which gives them claim to fame. Their prowess, in all branches of activity, in academic achievements as well as athletics, stamps them as children of greatness. Their good sportsmanship was put to the test during hazing week and proved its worth. I hey have acclaimed themseh es to Manhattanville in an amazingly short period of time and have won the hearts of all. Though many of their members made the hockey squad they still had enough to form a crack class team which swept to victory. Alice in Blunderland, a poignant drama of the trials and tribulations of Freshmen, left us limp with laughter and smiling to ourselves in recollection for days afterwards. Just as strong in Basketball as in Hockey many of the Freshmen are to he found on Varsity, but their first and second class teams are a threat and a menace to the Junior supremacy in the class tournament. For the Freshman Class, whose short career at Manhattanville has been so full, for your Warden, Mother Sullivan and your President, Mary Cunningham, your sister- class. the Juniors, give three rousing cheersl PICTURE IDENTIFICATION Top Photograph Left to Right: First Row: Paula Johnston, Barbara Gargano, Marie Galii, Mary Ann Kelly, Peggy Snowber, Julie Matos, Harriet Merrill, Genevieve Valenti, Connie Napoli.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT W ITH the College larger than ever this year, the task of Student Government has heen a trying one. But it would seem that their motto is Those people are the hest governed who are the least governed , for with Mother Saul as the faculty member and Pamela Tucker as Student President, this, the vital center of the College, carries out its work smoothly and efficiently with a modicum of formality. Student Government works in close collaboration with Welfare. One of the steps they have taken to simplify extracurricular activities, — ' and aid digestion ' was the adoption of uniform announcements. Whereas of former years, meals were punctuated with constant interruptions, clapping, announcements, and hectic scurrying from table to table, now all last minute announcements are made at one time by a member of Student Government or Welfare. A successful effort to awaken the College to the fact of bulletin hoards has made this possible. We should like to express our gratitude and to praise this years Student Govern¬ ment and its President, Pam Tucker, and Mother S auk for the excellent guidance we have enjoyed, for the feeling of oneness in the College. For the strength of Student Government is only in proportion to the cooperation the students themselves give it, and to instill the College with a desire to he well governed makes for strength and unity.

WELFARE T HE Committee on Student Welfare is a deliberative group composed of faculty and students in equal number. A supplement to Student Government, it is a body through which public opinion in the College is influenced. Welfare is primarily inter¬ ested in maintaining high standards of social conduct. To designate an offense against good manners, Welfare created the social censure. This committee has also been influential in regulating the program of extracurricular activities. In short, hy maintaining a happy medium in all things, it mates life at College more liveable.

SODALITY A T Manhattanville, the Sodality of the C hildren of Mary is truly a selective organization. To eacfi sodalist, her medal is a symbol of tbe spiritual growth sbe bas attained during ber aspirantsbip and of tbe responsibility sbe bas as a Child of Mary. Thus it is that tbe Sodality s influence is felt throughout tbe College, for there is scarcely a person who is neither an aspirant or a Child of Mary. This year tbe Sodality haS revived tbe custom of saying Our Lady s office on Saturday mornings. Tbe rule of life which St. Madeleine Sophie gave to tbe Children of Mary is by far tbe most valuable part of our education, valuable not only to ourselves, but to tbe Society of which we shall be members when we leave Manhattanville.

CATHOLIC ACTION C ATHOLIC ACTION ®t ManKattanville Las been greatly furthered this year. In September, two new committees were formed, tbe Interracial Committee and tbe Committee on Pax Romana. Members of tbe Interracial Committee are concerned with tbe very proximate problem of Social Justice in Harlem. 1 be Pax Romana Committee of wbicb Queenie Pyles is tbe Cbairman, is endeavoring to cooperate witb Pax Romana an international Secratariat wbicb acts as a clearing bouse for Collegiate Catholic Action. Since Pax Romana is bolding tbeir annual Congress in America tbis summer, tbe committee is busily engaged in preparation for ibis event. Tbe Liturgical Committee under tbe leadership of Nina Noble has introduced tbe Dialogue M ass in the College. Tbe Literature Committee under tbe leadership of Mary Clark has been most active this year. Resuming a plan to widen tbe reading of Catholic Periodicals, one wbicb has been adopted by many other colleges, they sold two hundred and two such subscriptions at Christmas time. Grail McMuIIin, in a drive to sell Catholic Christmas cards of artistic worth, sold over four thousand cards. Finally, this versatile committee has provided an organ for student opinions on various topics. Around tbe Tower Clock is a short but interesting newspaper tbe first of its kind at Manhattanville. To Betty Ann Millay tbe College woidd like to extend its appreciation for tbe splendid and interesting Catholic Action Forums wbicb we have bad this year, for she has been tbe diligent Chairman of this Board.

THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY T HE Missionary Society under tRe capable Rands of Helen Brennan Ras accomplished marvelous work this year. Many requests from poor and needy missionaries Rave been received and answered and several plans for furthering this work Rave been made. One of them is to help support regularly some part of the Baroness de Hueck s work in Harlem. Another is to assist an aspiring priest of the Order of the Blessed 1 rinity in acquiring the necessary education at the Catholic University in Washington, D. C. At Christmas time, over 260 dolls were dressed by the College and brought to the sick children at Bellevue Hospital and a hundred baskets were given to the poor. To the Missionary Society goes the distinction of sponsoring the first on-campus dance at Manhattanville. This dance, held in conjunction with the Harvesters, Fordham University’s mission club, took place in the Benziger Building on Sunday afternoon, February tenth. The zealous efforts of Anne Kilbourne and her committee to make this a success were amply rewarded as everyone had a delightful time. On Thursday, February 16, the Society gave its Annual Bridge-Tea for the benefit of college charities. Present students, alumnae and friends responded so well that the tea, to which a fashion show was added by Foulke and Foulke, made the afternoon a social as well as a financial success. It is only fitting that a word of praise he said for the splendid cooperation which the whole college has given to the work of the Society and to Helen Brennan, its president.

Its pages reveal the intellectual life, the literary tastes, and the creative ability of the College. It follows that the task of the Essay Board is rather difficult. To maintain a true standard of literary values and to encourage its contributors to strive to attain them requires a good measure of perspicacity. This year several innovations have been made. I he Essay, which hitherto has been an English publication, asked for stories, essays and poems in other languages. Students interested in science, sociology, history and other fields were urged to contribute. At various times in the past, it has been suggested that the Essay he illustrated. This year that plan has been realized. A lovely frontispiece by Mary Gallopin appeared in the January issue. This issue was the fattest Essay ever published and we feel that it was a tribute to the industry and talent of the Board which, under the leadership of Margaret McCormack and the guidance of Mother Williams, has distinguished itself One Hundred Twenty-six in so many ways. 939 TOWER Left to Right: Helen Bradford (Vice-President), Katherine Beha (President), Betty Murray (Recording Secretary), Mary McGinty (Corresponding Secretary). DEBATING CLUB T HE Debating Club embraces both an art and a science. Persuasive speech or eloquence is the babit or art which members of the club would form, and develop according to the science of Rhetoric. It is required of each member, therefore, that once during the year she prepare a brief and from that a speech which may be resolved into a practical syllogism. This year the club has had more intra-club debates than ever before and, con¬ sequently, its members have been unusually active. Although the purpose of the club is to develop the members’ powers of persuasion and to give them poise and confidence, it also serves to show the pros and cons of many issues, both historical and current. The Debating team was victorious in its first encounter of the year which was with Rosemont on March 10th. On March 24th it will engage the debating team of St. Joseph College in Hartford. The best speaker of the year will be chosen at a public debate to be held on May 2nd. Members of the Club would like to thank Mother Tenney, their faculty advisor. Kay Beha their president, and Mr. McClelland, their coach, for their guidance and assistance.

THE DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION I N the last few years, the Dramatic Association has become more and more highly organized. It now comprises four units corresponding with the major departments of the theatre; acting, directing, stage-setting, and makeup. The Cluh’s presentation of Berkely Square, given on November 16th, was a remarkable piece of work. The superb acting of Marbeth Strumpen-Darrie, Sighle Kennedy, and Kay Tighlman and others drew admiration from all. A word of praise is due the Technical Department for the artistic stage settings and the realistic sound effects. On December 14th, the Club presented a program of three one-act plays, acted, directed, and produced by the students. These more than satisfied the critical tastes of the audience. Now in rehearsal for production May 1st, is As You Like It . Judging from the high standards to which the Club has scrupulously adhered in the past, we are sure that this will he an altogether delightful performance. To Mrs. Livingston, their coach. Mother Keyes, their Faculty Advisor, and President Ginnie Sheehan, members of the club wish to express their gratitude for the time and energy which they have so graciously given to make this year a success.

CERCLE FRANCA1S Q UEL est le but du “Cercle? Ce n est pas bien difficile a deviner. C est celui de perfectionner Ie frangais de celles qui en font partie et voici quelques preuves pour montrer que nos efforts ont du succes. “L’Annonce faite a Marie” que nous annoncions 1’annee derniere fut jouee devant Monsieur Claudel, fils de hauteur, et sa femme; ils en ont fait eloges, remarquant la simplicity de 1’execution qui convient, avant tout, a ce beau drame.

THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB T HIS year, the Philosophy Club has enjoyed a full and varied program which com¬ bined tbe specidative with the practical. For Justice, which the Club elected to study, is eminently a combination of both. In pursuit of this knowledge, that portion of the Summa I heologica which treats of this moral virtue was used. Strict adherence to the Scholastic method was observed at the meetings, so that every member would have the statement, an objection or a reply to the questions. In this way, the discussion moved quickly and all were able to enter in it. Early in the year, the Club was fortunate enough to hear Dr. Mortimer Adler talk on the problem of specification or whether word species is used equivocally or univocally by St. Thomas. At the beginning of the second term, another very popular lecturer was heard. Father Sparrow, O.S.A. of Villanova, gave an illuminating talk on the Metaphysics of Justice. We shall all miss Mother Keyes at her departure for India, and the Phil osophy Club will be left without a cherished and valuable friend, a valiant teacher, a philosopher in the highest sense of the word.

Its members give unsparingly of their talent. which is great, and of their time, which is short, for the entertainment and edification of the whole College. At housewarming, the Club gave a spirited rendering of College Songs. Besides the traditional Christmas Carols, they chose a Thirteenth Century liturgical drama to express the joy of the season. Officium Pastorum” was beautiful and impressive. For Mother General’s Holiday in April the Club is rehearsing Gilbert and Sullivan s operatta — H I. M. S. Pinafore”. This will, we know, be another in the list of successes for which the club is famous. In June the Club will lose its President Jean O Reilly whose lovely voice and stirring leadership have insured success to Glee C lub undertakings for the last four years. To her and to Mother Morgan the members of the Glee Club and all the College would like to express their thanks.

THE PHI MU BETA CHI T HE Phi Mu Beta Chi, Manhattanville’s scientific organization, opens its member¬ ship to students interested in Physics, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry. The purpose of the Club is to bring the aims and conclusions of these four sciences together in a unified whole and to present the relationship of each one with regard to the others. Once each month the Club holds a formal meeting at which the members them¬ selves contribute the major portion of the evening’s program. The reason behind this is to keep the Cluh s activities as un-class-room-like as possible. Occasionally, however, one of the faculty members takes over the meeting to speak on a subject in which he is particularly interested and skilled. This year Mr. Morrissey spoke on Astronomy. A recent innovation of the Club is to have some of the Alumnae who were active members of Phi Mu Beta Chi during their college days address the meetings and give their more experienced opinions on current scientific problems. The year 1938 is a memorable one for Phi Mu Beta Chi because it marks the tenth anniversary of its inception.

Tl IE CLASSICAL CLUB T HE Classical Club has the delightful task of serving as a medium between the somewhat dubious culture of our times, and the great traditions of Greece and Rome. The only requisite for membership in the Club is an appreciation of things Classical and a desire to share this enjoyment with others while increasing one s own knowledge and pleasure. Each year, the Club presents one of the great plays of antiquity. 1 his year they gave the “Antigone” of Sophocles. A production of this kind was, of course, most difficult. To convey to a twentieth century audience the beauty and strength of a Greek play in translation called for acting ability of consistently high quality. The cast of “Antigone” caught the spirit of this severe tragedy and held the audience with their inspired interpretation. The Verse Speaking Choir brought to life the beautiful poetry of the Choruses.

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB A ' ANE °f the most popular organizations at Manhattanville is tLe Social Science Club. This year, in cooperation with tbe English Club, tbe Social Science Club bad tbe honor and pleasure of presenting to tbe College Miss Grace Hadow of Oxford. M iss Hadow charmed us all with a grand lecture on Tbe Changing Condition of Women in Rural England. Tbe next lecture was also open to tbe college, for Father Thorning is always a popular speaker, and tbe controversial issue on which be spoke, namely, conditions in Spain was of interest to all. On February 15 , moving pictures of Spain were shown by a newspaper correspondent who took them during a visit there. I bis year, tbe Club, under tbe guidance of Mother Tenney and President Mary O’Boyle decided to turn several of tbe meetings into open forums. Tbe first forum was on tbe Refugee Problem, and its success induced tbe Club to follow this procedure more often.

THE ENGLISH CLUB W HAT with its three units, it is difficult to tell all about the English Club. 1 hey are, however, united in their purpose, which is the cultivation of good literary taste. Members of the Criticism Unit headed by Kay Gilman have tried to develop their powers of discernment by comparing the works they review with objective criteria; while with Beatrice Hargrove as its head, the Writing Unit has been engaged this year in turning out delightful and humorous essays. The Poetry Unit is ihe smallest one of the Club and its meetings achieve that note of informality so conducive to sincere poetic effort. Margaret McCormack, its head, is not only an ardent poetess hut a leader unselfishly devoted to Ending talent in others. One of the aims of the Poetry Group is to encourage its members to End outside publication for their work. For its annual entertainment, the Club presented a program of dramatic monologues in tone both light and serious. These monologues skillfully chosen and brilliantly acted drew hearty applause from both Faculty and Students. The Club members wish to take this opportunity to thank Mother Williams, their Moderator, and Julie Dockweiler, their President, who have fostered the convivial spirit for which the Club is noted.

Pero quest anno il Circolo ha ammesso soltanto quelle che s interessano non tanto a divertirsi quantoa a contribuire qualche cosa di proprio cosi che il circolo sia degno del suo scopo. Avendo presentato con molto successo Agenore 1 Indeciso , 1 anno scorso, il Circolo avrehbe voluto dare un ’altra commedia, ma poiche la classe del secondo anno dara una rappresentazione, il dramma e stato dilferito all anno venturo. 11 Circolo essendo aggregato alia Federazione di Circoli Italiani, ha ricevuto parecchi gentili inviti dal Professore Prezzolini della Casa Italiana di Columbia University. La presidentessa e parechie socie hanno rappresentato il Circolo ai te dati in onore di notevoli persone, fra queste, il Conte Cantu e il professore Enrico Fermi, n incitore del premio Nobel nel 1938 per i suoi esperimenti sulla radioattivita artificiale. Di piu il Circolo ha ricevuto un telegramma dal Progresso Italo-Americano invitandolo a scrivere degli articoli per la pagina inglese del detto giornale. Speriamo che, le attivita menzionate ed altre ancora daranno vigore ed entusiasmo a tutte le socie, cosi che il Circolo possa conseguire il suo scopo.

THE THUMB TACK CLUB T HE Thumb Tack Club is a group given over to fostering the practical as well as the bne arts. The Club underwent a change in organization this year. It is now composed of seven committees. Each club member must belong to at least one committee, and may join more. These working units are the Lineoleum Block Committee, the Fashion Design Com¬ mittee, the Petit Point and Hooked Rug Committee, the Soap Sculpture Committee, and the Committee of Interior Decoration. This last, composed of Seniors, has been given the enviable task of decorating the new Tea Room. Frequent meetings of these groups have shown that the members are most active in their varied endeavors, and an exhibit is planned for the end of the year.

THE CHOIR T HE raison d’etre of the choir is to strengthen and increase the liturgical life of the college. This it achieves in two ways, one hy enlarging its own membership and, hy constant practice, attaining a high degree of perfection. Secondly, and just as important, it strives to awaken, in those of us who are not in the choir, an interest in the Liturgy of the Church. The devotional value of a training in the Liturgy is augmented hy the insight it gives and the paths it opens up for further study, in the great tradition of the Church’s culture, which, as Catholic women, we should know and appreciate. This year, the Choir, which is larger than ever before, has made a study of poly¬ phony, and in singing polyphonic chants at the hirst Friday Benedictions has elicited much commendation from all. They also made a point of learning the Proper of the Mass so that on Sundays they may join with the group from the Pius X Choir which formerly sang it alone. The great enthusiasm with which members of the Choir have worked this year and the tireless zeal of Jean O’Reilly, their president, have been well rewarded by the co¬ operation of the whole student body. Recognition also has come to them in the honor confirmed upon them hy Reverend Mother V icar s giving them the pri ilege of singing at the ceremony at Kenwood on March 15th, when two former college students took the Religious Habit.

THE CAMERA CLUB M EMBERS of the Camera Club must be active as well as appreciative. Ibis year, Kay Gilman, its energetic president, planned a most stimulating program. A new idea wbicb was inaugurated proved a great success. Camera tours were conducted to places of scenic beauty and historic interest, d be first was a visit to tbe Cloisters in Fort Tryon Part. Tbe club expects to inspect and take pictures of tbe New d ork World s Fair when it opens in April. Interest in these trips was spurred by a prize competition. A prize for tbe best pictures taken on each trip has been offered. Another contest is open to tbe club for tbe best picture of a sociological subject. A series of illustrated lectures prepared by tbe Eastman Kodak Company were given by Mr. Morrissey, a most interested and helpful faculty adviso r. Tbe club now boasts two large dark rooms very well equipped, and more people are taking advantage of them. Tbe year will be brought to a conclusion by an exhibition of tbe best pictures wbicb tbe members have taken.

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION T HIS year, the Athletic Association, with Miss Martha Farmer as the Director of Physical Training, welcomed two newcomers. Mother Sullivan, the new faculty advisor, took the place left vacant by Mother Schroen. Miss Farmer’s new assistant, one whom we all know well, is Miss Mary Cohalan, former president of A.A. and a graduate of last year. With the active cooperation of its student members, the A.A. has accomplished a great deal in interesting more and more people in Athletics as a recreation and for the development of good sportsmanship and cooperation. Class teams have been organized in Badminton, Bowling and Ping-Pong. The Aquatic Club has gained many new members. This year, for the first time, there will be second teams in the Class Basketball Tournament. Through the generosity of Miss Mary Cohalan the second team winners will be awarded a cup. For the splendid manner in which the tournaments have been conducted, for stimulating the interest of the college in the various teams, and for the general impetus which has been given all phases of athletics, credit is largely due to the splendid spirit and executive ability of Miss Ray Reiley, President of Athletic Association. One Hundred Forty-two 9 3 9 TOWER Veronica Kaicher (Secretary-Treasurer), Kay Reilly (President). THE AQUATIC CLUB T HE Aquatic Club bas grown in membership ancl scope during the year. Its meetings are given over to business and short talks by the members on different dives and strokes. This discussion is followed by a period of practice during which the demon¬ strations are criticized by Miss Farmer. Two of the intramural meets which the Cluh is sponsoring this year have already been belch All the classes entered enthusiastically. The first was won by the Sophomores, the second by the Seniors. On March 2nd, a unique and diverting water-entertainment was given by the Club. The theme of “Alice in Wonderland” was developed from The Mock Turtles Story and. the Club did formations in connection with his education in Drawling, stretching, and fainting in coils.

However seven freshmen quickly filled the positions and the season started with the Long Island game. Unfortunately the team was not sufficiently seasoned and met a 9-1 defeat at the hands of their skilled opponents. The New York game was closely contested and Manhattanville led at the half 2-1, hut in the last yielded, dhe final score was 5-4. The next two games were against college teams and the red and white came into their own with decisive victories. November 6 Manhattanville vs. Rosemont. November 10 Manhattanville vs. New College.110 The weekend of November 11th and 12th the Varsity competed in the Northeast Tournament at Wellesley College, and although no one made the sectional team, Man¬ hattanville was honored by being allowed to play as a team.

It is much harder to play on a losing team tban on one which is victorious, lo stave olf discouragement in the face of great odds requires strength and courage. Undaunted by several defeats, the team’s will to persevere made every game they played a real contest, a fight to the end. The splendid leadership of Connie Gallagher, the captain, inspired all to play their best. Queenie Bytes and Betty O Donohue amazed even those who know their ability with many outstanding performances. These three seniors will he greatly missed, hut we know that next year s team, in remembering their example, will imitate it. Manhattanville 58. Alumnae 19 Manhattanville First Team 18 . . . . . .

March 26—The Tower of 1938 went to press. April 4—Le Cercle Franpais presented Le Tres Reverend Pere V. Ducatillon Do- minicain-Sous-Prieur du Couvent de Paris, who addressed us in the Blue Room on “La Jeunesse Etudiantene de France , the student section of the Jocist movement. April 5—Marveling at the courage of Le Cercle Fran ais in undertaking to present Paul Claudel’s, “L’Announce Fait de Marie ”, we gathered in the Little Theater for their annual play. April 28—We celebrated the feast of Very Reverend Mother Vicente, starting our day with mass at 9. Evening transformed the buttle Theater into the Globe Theater as Llero vowed her love for Claudio, in Much Ado About Nothing . May 3—The Debating Club came from the privacy of its bi-weekly meetings, and gave a public debate for the college. May 8—-Today, at 11 A.M. we had a field mass under the auspices of the Fed¬ eration of Catholic College Students, found¬ ed in America by Queenie Byles of Man- hattanville ’39. May 14— All wardrobes were stripped of their fanciest costumes for the Tea Dance, held in the Corinthian Room of Pierre s. May 16—We accepted defeat cheerfully in a tennis match with William and Mary, because we knew that, win or lose, our players gave their best. May 17—Putting yesterdays defeat be¬ hind, today brought victory to Manhattan- ville in a tennis match wi th Mount Si. Vincent. May 18—The long awaited dayl Friends and Alumnae joined us as Cardinal Flayes blessed the new building, after which tea was served in the Blue Room. Our predecessors presented the Tower of ’38, and clouds appeared on the horizon for th ose immediately concerned with th is present edition. Could we possibly meet their high standard of excellence? In spite of the excitement of the day the Freshmen were not too tired to show their love for the Seniors, in giving a farewell supper. A last minute thunderstorm changed a scene from Lebanus to the Benziger Building but a good time was had by all May 25—The feast of Saint Madeleine Sophie always brings with it the baby party, when we see Manhattanville of the future and its possible dates . They came this year from age five months to ten years, and laugh and cry (a few tried variations on the Gregorian at Benediction) while their mothers meet and recollect to the tune of, Well, when I was here . . . May 26—Ascension Thursday brought a holiday and a blessed relief to the exam- stricken area. It was not the pouring rain but the thought of approaching departure that dampened the spirits of the Sopho¬ mores as they entertained their sister class at luncheon at Montparnasse. But it was a grand party, even though one of the guests of honor did get the proverbial plate of soup down her back. May 28—And the round of Senior parties continues . . . This time the Juniors escorted them to the theater to see . . . On Borrowed Time. May 29—Marked the opening of Com¬ mencement Week, with the Baccalaureate Sermon, the Daisy Chain and the May Crowning. The Reverend John Coutney Murray gave wise and practical advice to the Seniors, after which we gathered below the front steps where our sister class trans¬ ferred to us their responsibilities, symbolized by the Daisy Chain. The ceremonies ended as Maribeth Tobin crowned Our Lady and Ursula McAghon read the act of Con¬ secration. May 31—The Alumnae came from near and far for their annual meeting, at which Mother Dammann presented her magnificent address entitled, “Principles versus Pre¬ judices.’ After luncheon, served for the Alumnae in the student refectory, the Seniors presented The Wooing of It , a romantic comedy which served to strengthen our belief in the dramatic ability of Toto Clark ’38, its able authoress. Keys of the Kappa Gamma Pi were awarded to Ursula McAghon, Margie Kniep, Maribeth Tobin, and Mary Clorinda Clark. June 1—Field Day . . . and once again the Freshmen were the victors. Betty O’Donohue 39. won the badminton singles, and Gen O Malley the tennis singles. The cup for the most improvement in athletics was a warded to Eileen Col- Iigan 41. With her ever winning Irish smile, Mary Cohalan was acclaimed the girl who had done the most for college athletics. In the evening the Seniors were guests at the Senior Banquet, served in the Blue Room by the Juniors, after which the Sophomores gathered in the courtyard to sing the serenades, failing completely to see the sweetness in the sorrow of parting. Ex¬ ceptional to the last, the class of 38 broke all past records of appreciation and bade us farewell with a song. June 2—Commencement Day. and ' Mira- bile Dictu it was cool. Our beloved Cardinal conferred degrees on 63 seniors. The following awards were also made: The Alumnae Medal for the best essay to Mary T. Clarke. Joseph Wickham Medal for the best short story to Mary Kennedy. Prize for the best lyric poem to Barbara Marion. Gold Medal of the F rench Foreign office for excellence in work in all major French courses to Mercedes Bosetti. Bronze Medal for French conversation to Genevieve O’Malley. The commencement address was given by Mortimer Adler, Ph.D. of the University of Chicago. We were indeed fortunate in having so distinguished a speaker, and even those of us who were not among the seniors were grateful for his advice. Leaving the Benziger Building we went in procession to the chapel for Benediction, and for the 63 seniors, school days were quite definitely at an end. September 19—Registration for day-hops. September 20—Registration for boarders. September 21—College opened with a hurricane!! We started out formally with President’s Assembly at 9 o’clock, but the hurricane arrived unannounced at about four. Few will forget the repeated drenchings received throughout the day running from one build¬ ing to another, and certainly no Freshman will ever forget her first night at Manhattan¬ ville when she suddenly found herself in the dark, and not even the Samaritan heart of a Junior sister could produce a light for almost an hour. September 27—Rain seems bound to inter¬ fere this year, for today those preparing for Rev. Mother’s picnic supper at Lebanus were forced to the gym by a cloud burst. But many hands make light work and every¬ thing was well under control when the clock struck 6:30. September 28-29-30—The Blue Room was the scene of a series of teas given by Reverend Mother for the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores respectively. October 3—“The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold , as the Sopho¬ mores sought to make the Freshmen con¬ scious of their insignificance. w were bursting with pride of our baby sisters, for they came up smiling, and we were indeed happy that t hey accepted our invitation to October 6—1 he Junior-Freshmen 1 ea in the lounge room of the Benziger Building. October 10—1 he college has grown so that house warming had to be held on two nights. Rev. Mother and the community, followed by student sightseers visited the Seniors and Juniors.

The Seniors set out for Sherry’s as the guests of the Alumnae at their annual supper dance. The Junior class too was well represented. October 26—The Missionary Association presented Mr. Robert Walsh who spoke to us on the Jocist movement abroad. October 27—We’ve often been told to put away the things of our infancy, but its horrors came back with avengence tonight as the Seniors turned witches for Halloween.

Emily Post would not approve, but we are happy to say that the hostesses fou ght on to victory 10-2. November 6—In spite of pouring rain Manhattanville claimed another victory, this time over Rosemont. The score of the game played at Philadelphia, was 5-0. November 7—The Freshmen defeated the Seniors in the first inter-class game of the season. Score 2-1.

This time it’s their class play Alice in Blund er- land ”, hilarious to the end. November 10—The Juniors bowed to the Sophomores at hockey 2-0. A graceful bow. hut nevertheless a bowl November 14—The final hockey game as the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores 2-1. and placing a nice fluffy bow about its worthy neck installed the hockey cup in the warden s office. November 16—President’s holiday. We opened as usual, with mass in the morning, but today the mass was in the Byzantine Rite. Thanks to Father Donnelly and the Liturgical Committee, we were instructed during the last few days as to the meaning of this unfamiliar ceremony, and we were not too much at sea as we took our places in the chapel this morning. At the feast wishes the non-members of the Dramatic Club presented El Divino Impaciente . In the evening the Dramatic Club pre¬ sented Berkelv Square . November 17-— ' Recital by Helen Block.

We had solemn mass at nine, and Bene¬ diction at three-thirty, followed by a pro¬ cession from the chapel to the Assembly Hall, where the Act of Consecration was read. In the evening we were entertained by one of the most amazing of child proteges. Phillippa Schuyler is amazing because at the age of nine she is truly master of the piano, but she is even more amazing because she doesn t know she is. Her pro¬ gram was as varied in selections as could be found. December 14 ' —The Dramatic Club pre¬ sented three one-act plays, and graciously offered their entertainment as a toy party for Barat, naming a toy as the price or admission. We are deeply grateful to the club members for their generosity. December 15—Although the feast is ten days off. the Christmas spirit took hold today as the Glee Club presented Officium Pastorum” a twelfth century miracle play. We fail to remember any Feast Wishes so sustained, solemn and sincere.

February 15—At the expense of Mr. George Bernard Shaw, we spent a very educational as well as entertaining evening. The antics of George Bernard were brought before us by Mr. Frank Sheed, a familiar and always welcome guest at Manhattan¬ ville. We were glad that few really credit Mr. Shaw ' s opinions when we heard that he was an advocate of women s rights on the grounds that they are as dumb as the men folks and should therefore be on an equal footing! February 16—Today brou ght with it one of the largest events of the college year . . . the Mission Bridge-Tea. Between greeting old friends, playing bridge, drinking tea and watching a splendid fasb ion show by Foulke and Foulke a good time was had by all.

There were no classes in the afternoon in his honor, and at six o ' clock the college gave vent to their feelings by lustily singing, as many gathered around a bonfire in the now dry basin of the fish pond. In the evening the Aquatic Club gave a water pageant, “Alice in Waterland . One Hundred Fifty-one DIRECTORY CLASS OF 1939 BEHA, KATHERINE 90 Riverside Drive, New York, N. Y.
