BEATRICE BRENNAN CATHERINE KNEIP Senior Class President Senior Class Vice-President CLASS OFFICERS Student Government at Manhattan- ville is something more than a mere in¬ stitution. It is acknowledgment in reality of the confidence of the Student Body in the President and Vice-Presi¬ dent of the Senior Class. It is recognition on the part of the Administration of the capability of students to govern their own affairs. And if Student Government this year has been something bigger and better than ever before—to Bea and to Sis, the College owe a grateful vote of thanks— for the reason and tact which have tem¬ pered their administration, for the loyalty and willing co-operation which they have ever shown on all occa¬ sions.

COLLEGE SONG On the heights so proudly standing Strong against the blue, High towers gleam commanding, Loyal hearts beat true! For Manhattanville sing proudly, Swell the mighty song; Tiil the echoes ring out loudly All the ages long. Lauretta Bremner 29. SENIOR CLASS SONG Clarions call, ah hark and answer To the challenge made to all. On the heights upraise your standards. Hang them in tradition’s hall. Class of ' 41, When your work is done, And you leave Manhattanville, Keep your standards bravely flying, True to the trust that is yours to fulfill. By Marie Harte, ex ’41.

LATHROP ALLEN, E. J e M. Den slow Road New Canaan, Connecticut Nightingale Bamford School If anyone should hear a hearty, contagious laugh proceeding from the gen¬ eral direction of the Assembly Hall and St. Gregory’s—that would be Lath- rop. If anyone should contemplate a free evening and hear behind her a resolute step and a determined voice warning of Madrigals or proper prac¬ tice—that would be Lathrop. For Lathrop herself is so interested in music that she tries to give that interest to others. And hers is the true enthusiasm which shows itself in actual participation in the music of the college and in real work for the betterment of college singing. For two years, she has been President of the Choir and, under her, choir membership has increased steadily while enthusiasm for the Missa Cantata has spread rapidly. Al¬ though it may interrupt processions and confuse seating arrangements in the chapel, we must congratulate the Choir and its President on its splendid work this year.
