The 1950 Tower to the Religious of the Sacred Heart who celebrate in this Jubilee Year the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of their Society. Its beginnings were unpretentious. In a small upper room in Paris, after Mass on November 21, 1800, Madeleine Sophie Barat and a few companions knelt before Father Joseph Varin to pronounce their vows as the first members of the Society of the Sacred Heart. A need of the time was about to be satisfied: a system of education at once eminently practical and intensely spiritual which would mold Catholic girls into Catholic women. Yet St. Madeleine Sophie did not mean to found an educational Society. In¬ deed, she never meant to found the Society. It was for her, rather, a family unit which would grow, spontaneously and extensively, because of the love within it. We at Manhattanville are members of that family unit and participate in that love. To the religious we are always “the children” as they are always “the Mothers.” But after four years we leave the campus and its family life. And so the religious have prepared us, practically and spiritually, for life after college. We cannot help but wonder at the common sense, maturity, and insight of the preparation. How do they who are separated from our world of subways, sky¬ scrapers, and ski-trips prepare us so well for it? It is because they have com¬ municated to us the world in which they do live, the Heart of Jesus, which is love. • -t vfr-T t; • . ■ V ' £• • A � 4pp 33S?

J. . . . whose life and writings embody the spirit of a Sacred Heart education. By quoting Mother Stuart, directly and in¬ directly, on our divider pages and in our commentaries, we will attempt to correlate the spirit of Manhattanville to the spirit of the Sacred Heart as she expresses it. We will try to prove how life at Manhattanville, from its philosophy classes to its Tea Dances, fulfills the intentions of Sacred Heart education, which Mother Stuart expresses as “not the teaching of disciples, but the training of apostles.’’ Gontents 9 u ' ter [£ 0b 4.,’x c ' jk ' MWlt- ' . � � .- o-TW- ' Wf- ■ � � “ ♦ ' - •? : ' ?

Leverty, N. Carr, M. Strong, E. Melchior, M. Fuller, S. Monsour, M. Thompson, J. Lees. From Chapel to Library, from Founder’s to the Tea House, Manhattanville is a small world in itself. In giving glimpses of this world, we cannot forget its surroundings, and must show them if we want to make the picture com¬ plete, for many places in the neighborhood have become familiar parts of Manhattanville life. There is our Parish Church—Annunciation—where we hear late Mass; nearby movies, for an occasional free after¬ noon ; Petit’s, the scene of major celebrations; and Doc’s, convenient for after-class relaxation. Each fills some need in our days, and proves that our four-year world does not end at the front gate. Make up your mind. Ad. Y. Simpson, A. Medart, V. White, K. Manley, K. Drislane at Petit’s.

To give a “guiding light within” is the aim of the Sacred Heart method of education, and our curriculum is shaped to that end. Religion courses direct that guiding light within. Fresh¬ men study the Life of Christ; sophomores in¬ vestigate Christian Morality’, juniors prepare to defend the faith in Apologetics’, and seniors absorb the Theology of Sanctification. The intensity of the light is assured by a firm philosophical basis. Each college year has its required philosophy course: for freshmen Introduction to Philosophy and Principles of Rational Psychology; for sophomores Funda¬ mental Ethics; for juniors General and Special Metaphysics; and for seniors The Theory of Government, Politics. 16 Mr. John G. O’Hara Mrs. Robert O’Connell Mrs. Ernest J. Guy Mrs. James D. Daughton The light is diffused over many courses: sur¬ vey, specialized, and seminar. Our curriculum offers eighteen courses in Art; twenty in Classi¬ cal Language and Literature; thirty-seven in English, creative and interpretative; five in Mathematics; seventeen in French ; nine in German; fifteen in Italian; twenty in Spanish; nine in Russian. Music History and Appreciation features three courses; Music Theory, forty; Music Edu¬ cation, eight; and Applied Music, ten. Natural Science includes thirty-six courses; Philosophy, twenty-four; Psychology and Education, twenty-two; Religion, eleven; and Social Studies, fifty-seven.

Her easy humor transforms work into play; her quick sympathy makes children turn to her as an understanding counselor and makes contemporaries see her as a friend whose loyalty is strong. Though her clothes follow the latest trends in fashion, her sincerity and compatibility will never go out of style. 23 St. Vincent’s Hospital ’47; Inter¬ racial ’48; Mission Study Club ’49, ’50; Freshman Glee Club ’47; Fresh¬ man Forum ’47; Glee Club ’48, ’49, ’50; English Club ’50; Dance Committee ’48, ’49—Chairman ’50; Class Entertainment Committee ’49; Class Tennis Team ’48, ’49; Usher ’49.

Who else could have crowned gaiety with elegance then and on so many Sunday afternoons and have emerged from the attendant headaches with composure un¬ ruffled and every lustrous hair in place? Who else could, without stopping to plan, have so much fun on Cape and campus? Who but Hilda, whose real loveliness is this: that she is ever ready to share and to care. 24 E. Ce M.

An efficient organizer, Mary has worked ceaselessly for the Relief Committee. Her vital interest in the literary has made her a valuable English Club member. Mellow humor and a gracious, old-fashioned manner belong unmistakably in her repertoire, and give whatever she undertakes a delicate air and the assurance of completion. 25 erine Ba t„ e. ju m 68 Rowan Street, Providence, Rhode Island Rogers High School, Newport, Rhode Island MAJOR: History — MINOR: Education Kay’s tireless energy and calm, clear mind proved the pace-setters of the Tower, and her debating dexterity a challenge even to Oxonians. With deep chuckles and twinkling eyes she publicizes Rhode Island. Her words are direct and pertinent, but they are always the expression of innate charity, of understanding humor. She builds friendships with awareness of the feelings and interests of others, and makes love her keystone.

MAJOR: Economics — MINOR: History The setting could be the Blue Room, Toots Shor’s, or even Yankee Stadium—Jeanne would always be a poised figure. She impresses us with chic grooming and a quietly winsome manner, and stays help¬ fully calm when others worry. Count on Jeanne to support a good idea with enthusiasm, and to make a friend’s smallest problem her own major concern, for loyalty is her most outstanding trait. 27 N.S.A. ’47, ’48; D.I.S.C. ’49-Chair- man ’50; Class Council ’48, ’49, ’50; Freshman Glee Club ’47; Freshman Forum ’47; Glee Club ’48; Debating Club ’49, ’50; National Commission on Interracial Justice ’50; Regional Chairman ’50; Dance Committee ’47, ’48; Serenades Committee ’48; Chairman Hazing Committee ’48; Tower Board — Business Manager ’49; K.

Who else but Ellie could major in economics, speak French fluently, and be an excellent pianist-composer on the side? A dry middle-Western wit, a slight Kansas drawl, a streamlined precision, and an open and thor¬ oughly likable personality are what well remember of Ellie. 28 }rance5 (J uchlcij £1. cle 83 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, New York Saint Francis Xavier Academy, Brooklyn, N.

Over a cup of Tea House coffee or over a German textbook her forceful mind spurs the conversation. Yet she is not all mind. Her omnipresent, wide grin and her spontaneous giving—“Here, have a bite!’’—show that Franny has less interest in the many topics she discusses than in the many people with whom she discusses them.

Her accurate memory and brisk efficiency have left their traces in skillful organiza¬ tion even though she never knows whether her next encounter with the NFCCS will mean a debate or a date. The Middle-West has given us a well-groomed perfectionist who talks cheerfully, calmly and quietly, but who always convinces with gracious sincerity and intelligent logic. Despite many hours spent solving crossword puzzles, she remains a conqueror of time. 30 Christophers ’48, Mission Study Club ’50; Dramatic Club ’48, ’49, ’50; English Club ’49, ' 50; Relief Committee ’49; Centurion Board ’49, ’50; Class Entertainment Com¬ mittee ' 49, ’50, Chairman; Varsity Tennis ’49; Class Tennis ’48; Proph¬ ecy Committee ’49. mm ■ S ' Y ' ..

MAJOR: English — MINOR: History Dim the lights, pull the curtain, and Connie is in ecstasy. In the audience at a Saturday matinee or backstage on a Manhattanvilie first night, she loves the theatre. Acting holds the spotlight, but tennis, reading, and country weekends form the backdrop. Stimulating and witty, she has a store of imitations to set you chuckling and a depth to her thinking that makes us admire as well as like her. 31 s$nne Elizabeth C arfin cle Sunset Heights, Monroe, New York Thevenet Hall Academy, Highland Mills, N.

Music is her love and if she teaches her pupils as well as she directed her Girl Scouts, sight¬ singing may become second nature to them! Her energy is inexhausti¬ ble—those who know her, attribute its flow to her whimsy. A balanced notion of life’s seriousness tempers exuberance and humor, making Anne a mature and mellow person.

MAJOR: Economics — MINOR: History What’s in a name—a bit of confusion, perhaps? Still Anne M. is distinctive. Her talent for giving even the soberest story a humorous twist is a rare one. Her zest for good humor and good music found expression in Serenades and class entertainments and finds fulfillment in Dixieland jazz and the well-spent weekend. Her spirit of camer- aderie, her astute judgment, and her straightforward sincerity make her a fine and unmistakable person. 33 Freshman Glee Club 47; Debating Club ’49—Program Manager ’50; Mission Study Club ’48, ’49, ’50; English Club ’50; Recreational ’47; Varsity Hockey ’47, ’48, ’49, ’50; Varsity Basketball ’47, ’48, ’49, 50; Varsity Tennis ' 48, ’49—Capt. ’50; Class Swimming ’47, ’49; Class En¬ tertainment Committee ’49.

MAJOR: English — MINOR: Art Nancy has an elfin air that is utterly bewitching and utterly Gaelic also. Capable of the most uproarious antics, she achieved a portrayal of Pooh Bear that created a sensation. But it isn’t all laughs with Nance; she has, too, an unassuming generosity and a carefree kindness. Sports and world affairs are high on her list of interests, but she saves the first place for anything Irish. From the Olympics to Broadway to County Cork, our felicitations follow! 34 a cure Wan, Canal! C.

With checked cap set jauntily askew, she tickles your laughter one minute and wins your allegiance the next. A touch of dry, candid wit marks her efficient organization of so much at the core of everything that is Manhattanville. A perfect balance of the down-to-earth and the idealistic and an additional spark of twink¬ ling humor give us Claire, a leader whom all would willingly follow. E. de M.

Buttons are sewn on in a twinkle; problems are smoothly ironed out, and dues and Christmas baskets are collected from hands made willing by her spontaneous wit and considerate ways. Devoted to music, she delights in caroling with the hundred in Glee Club, and revels in the choral aspirations of a family of ten. Her ability to direct with love has made us unanimously like one who so evidently likes us all. 36 Catechetical ’47; St. Vincent’s ’47, ’48; N.S.A. ’49; N.F.C.C.S. ’50; Fresh¬ man Glee Club; Glee Club ’48, ’49, ’50; Class Entertainment ’50. 1 rene cjl c. j, m 164 Waverly Place, New York, New York St. Laurence Academy, New York, N.

A merry femininity characterizes her; her pleasant ways enchant at any prom and even when she is lost in a “whodunit” her dimples will suddenly appear. Audrey has left us the impression of unstudied frankness and certainty of conviction. She never pre¬ tends; she is always herself. 37 Me CLmUln £.

Never one to let petty obstacles upset her take-it-easy way, she has, still, a lightning perception of the cause of any real problem or difficulty. Accomplished writer, versatile musician, and emphatic Christopher all in one, Alice is a rare blend of rich humor and mellow sobriety.

Her clear, flexible writing has appeared in both Essay and Tower, and as Serenades Chairman she was able to di¬ rect and unify without coercion. Despite so many campus activities, she has deftly woven a pattern of memorable weekends into her sched¬ ule. With enviable poise and a rich low voice she lends smoothness to every occasion, creating an impression of peerless charm.

Overwhelmingly generous, she puts her convertible and her smile at everyone’s disposal, and would give you anything but her fawn rhythm sandals. We will be sorry indeed to wave goodbye when the last strains of “Zoom-Galli-Galli” fade in the distance.

Her friendliness expresses itself in enthusiastic cooperation; for Mary works well with people. That is why you will see Couz rush¬ ing out to buy a pair of water wings for the Aquatic Club, or doing her Catholic Action with zest. Even a refusal from Mary would be gracious. 42 Recreational ’47; Interracial ’48, ’49; Girl Scouts ’50; Freshman Glee Club ’47; Glee Club ’48, ’49, ’50; Science Club ’49—Vice-President ’50. oan Ct ronin £.

Her inexhaustible energy finds outlet in vigorous cheering for the home team—and packing her bags four days before a weekend.

But in orienta¬ tion they soon became acclimated to college life—learned what all those bells meant, dis¬ covered how to keep up with the bulletin board. The Venerable Ladies told them, kindly, that they were Infants; but they soon proved able ones, as they toted stacks of Centenary chairs about the campus and took enthusiastic part in the Centenary Pageant which replaced class entertainments for the year. And when election time came, they made an adult choice in the mature but lighthearted team of Anne and Claire. Their newness wore off when they met Rome and The Romans and preliminary skirmishes with the concept of being, and it seemed no time before the hazees were themselves hazers, who drove freshman jalopies up and down the wrong-way stairs, but stopped mercifully short of the used-car lot to declare their charges “per¬ fect models.’’ In showing us the funniest moments from a “Football Weekend,” the 50’ites began, un¬ der Margie Burch’s direction, their class tra¬ dition of hilarious entertainments. Clever lyrics made “You’ve Got to Be a Football Hero” a solarium standby, and brought college fame to such spontaneous ditties as “This is our con¬ cept of survey” (“Mother, please wait until June for the defenestration of us.”) Sophomore year was hard—no doubt about it! The class acquired fluency in Old English and developed a taste for the most apt quota¬ tions—all 365 of them! But they put books aside to bring the year to a tuneful close. In a flower-decked Benziger Building they made a bright, pretty picture as, with Donna as con¬ ductor, they sang melodious Serenades to their sister class.

Next year began the business of Junior-sistering with friendly zest and gave the class of ’52 a welcome happy enough to banish most linger¬ ing cases of timidity and homesickness. Happiness came to them, too, when they filled out their class schedules and saw the nice blank column headed “Saturday.” With Friday night the class limit, and with the pressure of required subjects lighter, they found more time to strength¬ en college friendships and to publish the ’49 Tower. The combination of Natalie’s soothing influence, class cooperation, and the printer’s hamburgers produced a colorful credit to ’50’s ingenuity. Shirley and the cast of “Winnie the Pooh” took us back to the nursery for a whimsical evening, and Prophecies to the tune of “South Pacific” gave the ’49ers a gay sendoff and had the college cheering: “There is nothing like a nurse.” At last they were ready to move their mortar-board tassels the final quarter of the way round and become the Senior Class. Stepping into positions of often overwhelming responsibility, they fulfilled their new duties capably and cheerfully with Mother Brady’s solicitude to help them. They faced the first thesis seminar in the not-too-hurried, not- too-worried frame of mind that has shaped all their actions. As one of them put it: “If the roof were burning, we’d still take time out for a joke or a hand of bridge.” First Row: K. Baxter, A. Chamberlin, C. Carroll, A. O’Neil, A. E. Carlin, F. Buckley, M. Banks; Second Row: J. Boland, H. Banks, M. Burch, B. G. Corrigan, J. Chang, M. J. Cronin, M. Dunn; Third Row: M. Couzens, D. Alexander, A. Celia, N. Davis, A. Carlin, N. Carr, K. Drislane, C Castellini, R. Dunne, J. Devlin, D. Cole, C. Carey, A. Doyle. Evidence of that carefree spirit: on the Founder’s elevator bulletin board, official notices were buried under an avalanche of cartoons, poems masquerading as T. S. Eliot’s, and ransom notes for kidnapped toys. Turning from politics to non-intellectual relaxation, they formed the Seminar on the Single State—in which the most interested students were those wearing brand new diamonds on the third finger of their left hands. From the summit of their college experience they gave us some sage pre-prom advice: “Get on the ball!’’ they cautioned us in a typi¬ cally original production staged under Connie Carey’s direction. Christmas vacation passed, and when college reopened there were even more engagements to be announced in the dining room. The future was closer and still closer at hand. Together the seniors made a fervent last retreat as undergraduates and wrote and rewrote their theses far into the night. Finally the time came for the last classes, the last exams, for packing up, for Prophecies, Daisy Chain, Serenades, and the Will. In leaving the college the class bequeaths more to us than flourish¬ ing clubs and committees, Tea House laughter, and the senior room piano. They leave us, in our friendship with them, in the whole tenor of their influence, a generous love that is part of the integral heritage of Manhattanville. First Row: J. Hatkin, J. McNamara, F.

We enjoyed lower deck and classless Saturdays, pondered Metaphysics and practiced defending the Faith in Apologetics. The first two years had gone quickly, and now as upperclassmen, we determined to stand behind the leadership of the seniors, once our hazers. No longer wrong-way jalopies or sopho¬ more victims of Cavitis, we willingly accepted our increasing responsibilities. We returned to childhood with a new ver¬ sion of Mother Goose Land. The play, di¬ rected by Barbara Kearins and Phyl Grady, fea¬ tured Cavy’s ballet against a backdrop of a never-never-land castle and a peppermint tree. Jo Lees, as Mother Goose, tau ght Tommy (Pat Meier) how to find the land of “Cockle Shells and Wishing Wells.” Under the sure guidance of Maureen and Mickey, and the never-failing smile and sym¬ pathy of Mother Morgan, we enjoyed our in- between year. We remember the assemblies of Mere Mass Marriage Morgan as times when we thought and laughed together and became more assured and glad in our unity. Our tasks were numerous, but each was fun. Adorned with white gloves and cap and gown, we became Junior Ushers, and tried to be dig¬ nified at the appropriate moments. Then there were new friends to welcome into the class and our freshmen sisters to watch over. From the first day of Orientation Week we knew that they would fit into the college pattern. It was fun to help the Indians through the perils of hazing and first examinations. And there fffTi 1 I’M 1 44 1 PtI were wedding bells in the class and previews of the bridesmaids in Lower Deck. Ski trips were an old fad, but enjoyed as much as ever, while records in Mother Morgan’s office comforted those left home to study. The Tower was our big present to the seniors. The clack of typewriters, six cups of tea made from a single tea bag were high¬ lights of meetings held in the lounge or behind the coke machine. Synonyms flew to left and right between the growing stacks of write¬ ups. Pictures gathered from every part of the Campus, lined the corners of the room. Ever-patient classmates brought us food and drink, typed papers, and gave suggestions. The lounge became a place of long silences and sudden bursts of laughter. But despite a few minor casual¬ ties and such impediments as mixed metaphors, we enjoyed every¬ thing that went into the Tower. 116 MW- P� g|:-: I ' Jw ™ ■p - W jF fe.

Being being solved with the greatest degree of Metaphysical cer¬ tainty, we arrived at the end of a full and wonderful year. There were prophecies for the seniors and last songs to be sung, and we received their last will and testament with fitting solemnity. 1951 seems very near now, and ever as we present our Tower to the Senior Class, we realize that they are passing on to us their position of leadership. The past three years have been happy ones filled with wonderful memories. It doesn’t seem long ago that we brought our now famous ballet dresses for “Norwegian Nights,” or spent long nights excavating quotes either from memory or imagination. Soon we will be seniors, and we look forward to that last and best of years with expectation and joy. 117 First Row: A. Tracy, M. C. McKay; Second Row: P. Holland, E. MacLellan, P. Meier, J.

HraBaHBBUBOHH omores From the beginning of their life at college the Class of ’52 bid and made a grand slam as they changed from Dummies to Aces. Draw¬ ing on large resources of mirth and ingenuity and strengthened by maturity, they formed themselves into a successful unit. With friendly authority they handled the Puny Papooses firm¬ ly but mercifully. Smiles were outlawed during hazing, but when sophomores offered fresh¬ men the peace pipe, the hazees knew they had been blessed with kind teachers the whole time. Harboring mixed sentiments of interest and trepidation, the Class met those inevitable sophomore obstacles, Ethics and History and English Surveys. They took advantage of un¬ limited lights to tackle the problems of Rights and Duties and the Congress of Vienna; and together they laughed fearlessly in the face of the “grim ghost Grendel.’’ With energetic skill and teamwork they cap¬ tured the hockey trophy, and in reviving the spirits of defeated opponents with disarming and apologetic smiles, they showed themselves generous winners. “Heavenly Headlines,” with Julie Kammerer as producing angel, brought us one step closer to the pearly gates. Studded with song, cheru¬ bic wit, and capable acting, the story of “The Littlest Angel” filled us all with the Christmas spirit. Finally, after the worrying weeks of exams, the sophomores drew graduates to the Benziger Building and entreated: “On things much fonder Please sit and ponder As we sing our songs to you.” Sheridan President). (President) In clever words fitted to a hit parade of melodies, Becky, her com¬ mittee, and the class paid tribute to their senior sisters. Students, parents, and friends left applauding and humming tunes from a tune¬ ful evening. So they ended a hectic but happy year under Mother Byles’ friendly guidance and Jeanne’s and Nancy’s spirited leadership. Chair chains are now but a vague memory, and all freshman year a distant dream. The gratifying sound of Serenades applause, stimulating hours spent in class, companionable ones in the Tea House, “snow flakes” flutter¬ ing from the gym roof in the falling snow . . . these are the things to be remembered. Drawn together by strong ties of friendship and the desire to share and make useful their many ingenious ideas, the sophomores stand ready to take the labryinthine ways of Junior year in their capable stride. 122 First Row: S.

But whether it was the expected or the unexpected, the Class of ’53 adapted it¬ self from the second week in September, and upper classmen soon knew a wonderful group had joined them. The orientation program lessened their con¬ fusion and left them willing and eager. During hazing, their respect for elders, otherwise known as Colossal Chiefs, prompted them to accept the title of Puny Papooses and to live on the war path for three days. A resilient nature, how¬ ever, brought them through the harrowing ex¬ perience, and they were admitted as braves of the tribe. Then came their introduction to the tradi¬ tional chairs. Assembly lines were formed, and many a gay song was heard above the clatter of steel and wood, as freshmen pushed or dragged their favorite campus furniture. Perhaps it was in the friendly spirit of these energetic sessions that our sister class decided on their leaders. The choice was a wise one, for Phyllis and Mary will maintain the standards of Man¬ hattanville, and inspire constantly the interest and cooperation of ’53. w mmmtM Their sparkling performance of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Trial by Jury, exemplified their spirit. After talented songstresses and many stage “naturals” had entertained the college, we applauded their achievements. And producing the class song was anything but a major problem, for musical and creative talents are plentiful and capably utilized. 128 Now, as the first year of their college life ends, the freshmen are filled with zeal and vivacity and have laid a foundation for mature values as well. We know, that with this foundation, their willing co¬ operation and their eagerness to succeed will carry them victoriously through the months to come. Onward to sophomore perils! First Row: J.

In “Mater,” we have found a timeless confidante of our own age, one to whom we can give our hearts completely. With the world in a precarious balance, it is difficult to main¬ tain an even perspective and proper sense of values. The Children of Mary have worked and prayed to achieve and preserve these things. With the help of Mother O’Byrne, Jean, and the Council, we have seen the necessity for bringing our Lady into our lives and so into the world. 135 Student Government officers: P. Duffy, J. R. Sheridan, M. McKay, C. Carroll, A. O’Neil (Presi¬ dent), N. Moran, M. Sheppach. Student Government extends beyond a group of class officers to include each one of us, since we as adults have both the right, and the obligation, to govern ourselves. It goes deeper than the externals of laws and penalties to an ideal of mature self-reliance and cooperation. This year Student Government made new progress toward that ideal. It emphasized that the constitution through which it works is a stable, but not a static thing, since in its amendment clause it provides for change in regulation whenever change would represent real prog¬ ress and not a passing impulse. Our officers have given us strong and genial leadership in every¬ thing from conducting assemblies to sustaining college spirit. To Mother McCarthy for her sage direction, to Anne and Claire and the others for their patience, enthusiasm and cheer: our appreciative thanks. 136 rv, ■ - « ? rfiff � v, yS.

Around the clock it covers every phase of life on campus, from elections through meetings to dining room courtesy. It represents our wish to maintain a spirit of gracious living amid the confusing complexities of college existence. This standard is not easy to maintain, but Welfare is ever¬ present rousing the forgetful with pleas for a tidier gym and a quieter chapel corridor. A neat black notice board announcing clubs and committee meetings keeps the threads of a busy day untangled. The sensible distribution of extra-curricular activities is safeguarded by an ingenious point system. Working with Student Government and the Faculty it completes our education by developing social responsibility and leadership. Di¬ rected by Mother O’Byrne’s prudent foresight and Connie’s appeal¬ ing friendliness, Welfare has instilled in us the ideal of Christian polite¬ ness, which is Charity. Welfare Representatives: M.

In the realization of this, we have endeavored to fulfill at least in part the needs of the world around us, and guided by our ever-exuberant Jean, have developed a living spirit of service. Nearby, the impish joy and pranks of youthful Scouts at Annuncia¬ tion School are their leaders ' weekly anticipation. Pupils at neighbor¬ ing churches and parish schools keep the hands of catechists full. Corned-beef sandwiches and mountains of stamped envelopes give evi¬ dence of the varied activities at Friendship House. From Casita Maria and McMahon Shelter to Vesey Street and the Cancer Hospital, little tasks present themselves with startling clarity to all who are willing. In their own fields, Liturgical and Mission Study Clubs have spread the search for a fuller grasp of Faith to the four corners of the earth, while the necessity for alert Catholics here at home resulted in the formation of a committee to promote better citizenship. The call to action, continued throughout our lives, springs from the need around us. In the building up of a powerhouse of love for God based on ideals and principles laid before us, we will reap the ful¬ fillment of the future. 140 No puzzle here— everybody’s having fun.

And when the program was over, well-earned applause assured both Glee Clubs that the old tradition of caroling was as loved as ever. Madrigals carried this tradition off-campus when they presented their annual concert in Scarsdale, and continued to sing on state occasions throughout the year. Leaving Christmas bells and pine boughs behind, the Glee Clubs undertook two Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The Mikado, conducted by “Doctor” Anne E. Carlin, gave us an amusing glimpse of Old Japan, and the freshman production of Trial by Jury strengthened our first impression of ’53 as a singing class. The organ might drop a third, or a giant poinsettia be difficult to place artistically, but Mother Morgan’s contagious and merry en¬ thusiasm and Mary’s tranquil control of any situation kept intact the club’s good humor—as much a part of them as the songs they sing. r ®’ 1 ' « ' “r . ry «r� £ % •jf lfc%r4 h : • v 4« ' « ' % - 1 J-V £ k -i- a - -- v .: •- ' • GZee CZuh officers: Joan Crow¬ ley, Beth Flanagan, Mary Van Vleck (President), June Egan.

The first speakers ascended the rostrum with a dignity worthy of the House of Lords, and the audience became alert, certain that a lively and stimulating battle would ensue. The meeting could fea¬ ture the able Oxonians who introduced us to the British debating style; or the Junior team which spelled inter-class victory with their per¬ suasive approach; or almost any thought-provoking discussion. What¬ ever the program, each session found Kay Baxter a spirited leader. Realizing that a knowledge of current issues is necessary for an active mind, the club members, guided by Mother Parton and Mr. Mc¬ Clelland, have considered today’s most controversial topics, and Forum discussions directed by Sue Purcell have prepared freshmen for their interested participation. Whereas this organization presents the living problems of today; and whereas each discussion draws us closer to an understanding of the Catholic viewpoint; resolved that: the Debating Club has been an integrating guide to the right answers in a world of questions. 144 Freshman Forum officers: Barbara McDonnell, Claire Duchaine, Phyllis Duffy, Sue Purcell (President). Gerald Johnson-Smith’s speech provokes the thoughtful expressions of Kay Baxter, Mary Kay Donovan and his fellow Oxonian, Robin Day. A full and busy year commencing with Margaret Murphy’s “Bethania” gave Dramatic Club ample practice in carrying other peo¬ ple’s bales. Each Tuesday night Rosie’s persuasive humor produced willing stage hands while under Mother Maguire’s and Mrs. O’Con¬ nell’s constructive enthusiasm, actresses strove to play each role with conviction. The realistic set of “Pink String and Sealing Wax’’ transformed the stage into a Victorian parlor, and lively acting kept the audience in suspense. Christmas brought an unusual but beautiful retelling of the Nativity, and Reverend Mother’s Feast wishes impressed us force¬ fully with the full implications of Our Lady’s role in our life. This year there has been technical perfection in Dramat’s lighting and scenery, and with an excellent presentation of “Much Ado About Nothing’’ the Little Theatre has become Manhattanville’s Old Vic. Venite Adoremus! R. Hume, E. McCann, B. Fer¬ ris, E. A. Barry reenact the Christmas Story. % V Family portrait in “Pink String and Sealing Wax.” First Row: F. Standoff, E. McCann, J. Mc¬ Gowan, S.

To the choir is given the privilege of adding the full beauty of the Church’s song to her highest prayer, for the Chant gives voice to the drama of the Liturgy. This is reward enough for the early-awakened choir members who struggle to synchronize words and music with or without the vanishing piano. Mother Morgan’s spontaneous quips and Peggy’s good humor have made even those pre-breakfast rehearsals fun. The choir officers excel in tracing lost Libers, directing traffic in the pews, and singing lustily from the third bench. There is no re¬ quirement for joining the Choir—only the willingness to sing joy¬ ously for God. For, as Mother Morgan has taught us, “to sing is to pray twice.” 148 Surrounded by rows of coats and dresses, and by piles of shoes and sweaters, volunteers kept busy in the Relief Room while Janey flew from there to the successful Bridge Tea with boundless drive. Throughout the year, with Mother Byles’ enthusiasm to guide them, Relief Committee members have brought before us the tremendous responsibility of helping all. In a hilarious student-faculty partv we proved generosity was fun, and to celebrate Reverend Mother’s Feast we emptied our pockets and scoured neighborhood stores for several thousand bars of soap to build the third floor of the International College in Tokyo, Japan.

Under Mother Byles’ guidance we joined with students from other colleges—both Catholic and non-Catholic—to help make Catholic col¬ legiate opinon a vital force. Midge Dunn and other Manhattanville delegates and interested participants attended clinics on Academic Freedom, Student Govern¬ ment, and other timely issues which highlighted the National Student Association’s New York Regional program this year. Manhattanvillains from Chicago to Tokyo spoke at an International Day held to com¬ memorate and promote world-wide student unity. “The student and the lay apostolate’’ was the year’s theme for the National Federation of Catholic College Students. It found expression in the successful Overseas Relief Campaign, the great expectations of the Holy Year pilgrimage plans, and in the welcome sound of many new foreign tongues on campus. Margie Burch, Ann Doyle, and our other representatives led the college in greeting the hundreds of students who met at Manhattanville for the organization’s Regional Congress. 150 f x«, .J 1 - k - , ' ,1V • V ‘V- ,V.

XT ' ,? , Manhattanville is headquarters for both the NFCCS National and Regional Commissions on Inter¬ racial Justice. This year the Com¬ mission, with Mother Dowd as Mod¬ erator and Joyce O’Connor as chair¬ man, again sponsored a nationwide poster and short story contest to make Catholic college students more aware of the principles and problems of interracial justice. National Commission on Interracial Justice representatives at college: E. MacLellan, F. Fraher, E. Bourke (regional chairman), J. O’Connor (national chairman), P. Grady, M. Fitzgerald. Elinor Bourke has directed the Regional Commission, which organ¬ izes Catholic Action in the region, including our own tasks at Friend¬ ship House and Vesey Street. A decade ago, with her address “Principles versus Prejudices’’ our President, Mother Dammann, laid the foundation for Manhattanville’s interracial consciousness, which has resulted in t he Dammann Interra¬ cial Study Club—called succinctly, DISC. Every Tuesday, Elinor pre¬ sides over a meeting in the lounge. Members discuss and try to combat erring and prejudicial opinions. Currently they have emphasized the Negro question, and sponsored talks at college by prominent authorities. This awareness was increased also by the Interracial Quarterly, edited by Jane Devlin, which informs each Catholic college of the work being done by others, and of advances and abuses of Interracial Justice on a national level. Damman Interracial Study Club : E. Melchior, M. Murphy, K. Baxter, P. Daley, M. Banks, E. Bourke (Chairman). vv International Club officers: Seated: R. Narita, B. de Moya, B. D. Finlay (President), T. Ugaya Standing: B. G. Corrigan, C. Ramos-Cardenas, Y. Skeffrey, E. Fagan. The International Club was created to “pro¬ vide a common basis for . . . real friendship and understanding” among Manhattanvillains from all over the world. Formed only a year ago by Mary Lou Loewe, ex ’51, the Club launched a successful career under Mother Bourneufs enthusiastic direction, and with Barbara Finlay as president. “Music of the Spheres,” a program of folk songs and dances given on Reverend Mother’s holiday, climaxed a year in which members of vastly different races and nationalities proved with a gay spirit of friendship, that there can be harmony in our sphere.

Sullivan. Each fall and spring the English Club initiates a new group of aspiring writers. With the assistance of Mother Williams and presi¬ dents, such as Donna Cole, the members discuss authors old and new, their styles and their philosophies. Undaunted by preliminary re¬ jection slips, they work toward their own creative expression. Alternate Mondays find them in the Lounge absorbed in other fascinating discussions like those begun by Father Charles Nugent of The Catholic Mind and Mr. Frank Healy of Blackfriars. Once a se¬ mester, business matters are shelved and Lounge or Tea House pro¬ vides background for a costumed literary “Who am I?” party, which unites the members in spirited and stimulating gaiety. This year, a prime purpose of the Club has been to establish its publication, The Essay, as a literary supplement to the Centurion. Essay Board: Paulita Buckley, Peggy Murphy, Mary McMath, Ann O’Shea (Editor). Pearl delivers her copy — late! In reporting Manhattanville’s news, the Centurion has shown us a kaleidescopic pattern of our many-sided campus life. Rosie and her staff held Benziger Build ing meetings to plan month¬ ly issues. Reporters covered dances, plays, lectures and meetings, and met to search for pithy headlines amid a last-minute clatter of type¬ writers in Rosie’s room, turned Press Room for the day.

The Athletic Banquet marked the climax of a vigorous and success¬ ful year; and, with special signifi¬ cance, a new tradition was begun by awarding the President’s cup to the non-member of the AA board who contributed most to campus sports.
