Choir “Music that gentlier on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.” WE doubt if Tennyson had us in mind when he wrote this, but we can feel a cer¬ tain sympathy with him just the same. However, the Choir is not only early ris¬ ings nor the culinary delight of the annual Tea. People aren’t in it for the ordeal of dragging themselves out of bed. or even for the pleasure of a feast. It isn’t that that brings them. Perhaps it is the fact that corporately they are lending vocal and never-ending praise to God through the timeless medium of music, or perhaps it is just that they are Catholics and it makes them want to sing. Left to right: Marguerite McMonagle, Esther Ann Whalen, Margaret Mary O’Rorke (President). English Club LATE Thursday afternoons in the lounge where sunlight and little puffs of blue smoke gave the room an enchanted quality; hours spent in Pius X Hall writing and rehearsing for Mother Dammann’s Feast, ending with all in caps and gowns at the feet of the symbolic figure of Mother Church; the autumn party with oak leaves, candlelight, coffee and the Evangeline sa¬ tire; the progressive novel; and finally our unit festivals, sum up a year of the liter¬ ary comradeship that is the English Club.

The Tower THE TOWER is for the seniors. The Junior Class has tried to give them a picture of the college to take with them when they go. We believe that the heart of Manhattanville is best expressed in the little things. Daily Mass, class games, K.P., lecture nights and the talk in the Tea House are as much a part of us as classes and clubs. “Looking Up” as our theme first symbolizes the counsel of Mother Dammann to look up to the truth and second the new mood of this war year of 1944. Th is theme has permeated our campus existence and it will follow the seniors into the world. To bring this Tower of our ideas into being we sad on the floor of Mother Sullivan’s office to write write-ups; we ran down to the bank at 125th Street and Broadway between lunch and our one-thirty class; we escorted the photographers everywhere on the campus from the pool to the physics lab; we vehemently discussed the relative sizes of type¬ writers; and we heard the rumbling of deadlines in our sleep. Thus by councils and compositions, by typings and sketches, by accounting and candids we present the Tower — the college as it has always been, as it specifically is now -— for the Seniors to remember.
