Presented by the ‘Junior Class n i HiBn uro n Zke Cower - 1955 MANHATTANVILLE COLLEGE OF THE PURCHASE - NEW Zke old order ckangetk . .. PR City subways and roller skating down the sidewalks of New York have been replaced by a pumpkin-colored bus and bicycling over the hills and dales of Westchester County. E FACE es, Manhattanville has changed. But despite these changes in environ¬ ment, our lives are molded here at Pur¬ chase just as those of our predecessors were formed at Convent Avenue. The same principles abide, the same goal 4 exists; only the accidentals are altered —so that both the past and the future may say: Here is Manhattanville.” As a link between the old order and the new, you, the Class of ’55, have a special part in this fulfillment. As we, the Junior Class, present to you your Tower , we hope that it will have a spe¬ cial meaning for you who have known both sides of our history. For you have, in your own words— ... given us a finely seasoned blend: New hopes and old traditions to defend. The Junior Class yielding place to new ... f ' -- — 1 Md Qod fulfills himself in many ways 6 o one who has carried the spirit of Manhattanville to distant parts, while kindling that spirit here at Purchase... To one who has led us confidently to the new, while not relinquishing the traditions of the old . . . To one whose example has taught us the ideal way of life-doing the truth in charity ...

These they have shared generously, guiding every student in her search for wisdom. Their willingness to give of their time outside the classroom, their support of student activities and organizations, and their personal interest in each individual student have led over a period of years to the development of a deep bond of mutual respect and loyalty. But in addition to the hours devoted to Manhattanville, our faculty continues to advance further in their respective fields. Evidence of this fact was given at a faculty panel discussion held last fall during National Education Week. Mr. Woods spent last summer unearthing treasures from the hidden city of Ampurias; Dr. Alscher carried on valuable research (in an icebox!) at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole; Dr. Shine uncovered the fact that missionaries had introduced the Spanish musical tradition into Southern California and Mexico as early as 1 5 29, while Dr. Lord painstakingly traced forgotten works of Carmona to every remote corner of Spain and catalogued her findings for the benefit of the art world. Thus they have awakened in us an appreciation of the wonders and riches of the past, all the while leading us forward on the path to knowledge, teaching us to face the future confident and unafraid. 17 Mr. Morrissey, Mr. Modzelewski Dr. O’Brien, Miss Cave 18 Dr. Haggerty, Mrs. Rickert, Miss Fleming, Dr. Alscher Mrs. Woronoff, Mine.

' ■ f. flan Irene Meaw 125 Milton Road, Ry e, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Nan mixes the social and scholastic with an ease that mystifies us all. At one moment she may be overheard explaining Existentialism to a bewildered philosophy minor, while the next will find her dashing out the East Entrance for a hectic weekend. Her interest in music has been directed, for the benefit of the entire college, to the Pius X Choir and the Glee Club. Knowing Nan has increased our interest in reading, philosophy and music for Nan’s enthusiasm is contagious and her in¬ terests are always worth heeding. 27 Kenarik Akop ' mtz 89-10 69th Avenue, Forest Phils, Long Island, New York Anunchizavan Dadgar, Persia Just mention the New Yorker or Perry Como, and Kenny will respond with animated interest. Happy and lighthearted, she finds equal enjoy¬ ment in a chat with a friend, an afternoon horseback ride, or a Dodger ball game. There is about her a poised self-assurance which enables her to get along with anyone and meet any situation that arises. Born iyi Russia, raised in Persia, and of Armenian descent, Kenny has won our admiration by her smooth adjustment to the American way of life. 28 jCIsc Claire d Atri 10 Rockwood Drive, Larchmont, New York The Ursulinc School, New Rochelle, New York Lise is a vivacious and sincere person with a knack for easy conversa¬ tion on a variety of subjects. She enjoys life and has the gift of helping others enjoy it more fully. Known throughout the college as an actress who deserves top billing, she has ably headed the Dramatic Club through a most successful year. We will miss Lise, but we have the satisfaction of knowing that others will be enjoying the cheerfulness she has spread so abundantly while at Manhattanville. 29 Mae Catherine Azzara 176 Tulip Avenue, Floral Park, New York The Mary Louis Academy, Jamaica, Long Island, New York Anyone desiring psychological analysis can find Anne waiting in Room 70, armed with 124 questions that even you can answer. But her interest in people does not stop here, for Anne has devoted endless hours to the Relief Committee and to typing for The Centurion. From Long Island to Georgetown her flair for exotic hats has made her famous. We shall miss her wide-eyed expression which keeps us guessing; we shall miss Anne — a delightful mixture of practicality, generosity and joie de vivre. Major: Psychology Minor: Education and Chemistry 30 Kathleen Mender, 8. de M- 102 5 Blythe Avenue, Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania Convent of the Sacred Heart, Overbrook, Pennsylvania As a sophomore, Kathy was the terror of Freshman Hazing, but when the ordeal ended her own transformation was as complete as that of her awed victims. Her deep insight and willingness to listen patiently to anyone’s jokes or problems have make Kathy a welcome person at Manhattanville. Self-assured and poised as chairman of the Steering Committee, she has held the gavel with a firm hand. Her ingenious sense of humor, hilarious imitations, and disinterested sympathy will be remembered long after Kathy has struck out beyond the gates. 31 Barbara M- Uemuson 301 First Avenue, Frankfort, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Albany, New York When Benny is in the offing you can be sure that there will not be a dull moment. But her popularity does not depend solely upon her sense of humor, for Benny has a sincere interest in everyone. A Citizen¬ ship Club meeting is usually animated by her wry expostulations on current affairs, but it is evident that these are the results of opinions well founded on fact. We wish that we could be among her future pupils for it is certain that a class with Miss Bennison” would not be conducive to an afternoon nap. 32 Major: English Minor: Philosophy Cat heme ‘Joan Ur earn a 169 Beach 14 5 th Street, Neponsit, Long Island, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Joan has been a ' ' cog in the wheel” of ’5 5’s activities ever since she first stepped onto the campus, for her keen perception and mature outlook were quickly recognized. As president of the Freshman Glee Club, director of Sophomore Serenades and member of the Pius X Choir, she has shared her love of music with the entire college. Sitting down in front of the lounge piano, she quickly becomes Manhat- tanville’s own Pied Piper. Joan has played her way deep into our hearts where she will long remain. 33 Patricia Mums 1918 Maple Avenue, Haddon Heights, New Jersey Cathedral High School, Camden, New Jersey For such a tiny person, Pat can find the weightiest tomes the library has to offer. But aside from her numerous intellectual pursuits, she has given much time and valuable assistance to N. S. A., choir and International Club. A born tourist, Pat led a one week tour via bicycle up the Hudson last summer, and those who went are clamoring for an encore. A lover of adventure, Pat need never go out of her way to find it, for she has the enviable capacity to create adventure out of everyday life. 34 Mae Elisabeth Cassiers 82 Lee Avenue, Scarsdale, New York Sacre Coeur, Bruxelles, Belgium Boyish blond hair, charming French accent, cheerful smile and open manner — no one else but Anne. A well-seasoned traveler, possibly her sojourns outside the United States are reflected in a love for the theatre and her artistic talent. Combined with the old world’’ poise, she has a healthy liking for sports and the out-of-doors. Loyalty and friendliness are the traits that have won Manhattanville to her, and those are the qualities that will ensure Anne a happy future. 35 Katherine Chaplin, S. tie jM. Old Farm Road, Chappaqua, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Is there anyone available with a car Monday afternoons?” No, Kate is not going anywhere herself, but she is involved in a most difficult job — managing transportation for Catholic Action. This is only one of the organizations which has benefited by her good- humored efficiency; since both the Interracial and Dramatic Clubs have numbered her among their members, while her literary efforts were generously expended on the 1954 Tower. A gracious manner and a slow contagious smile have won for Kate the esteem and friendship of us all. 3 6 Madeleine Cki Shanghai, China Aurora Middle School, Shanghai, China Madeleine is marked by an oriental dignity and unassuming gracious¬ ness. Although her quiet wit often takes the form of laughter at other people’s jokes, her comments on life, if taken literally, make her a humorist in her own right. Her world-wide view was illustrated by her collaboration in Father Dowd’s translation of the catechism into the language of her own people; through Mission Club, of which she is the president, she reaches out to all nations. Madeleine’s influence is ever unobtrusive and never unnoticed. 37 Major: English Minor: Italian Margaret M Christ Huntington, Long Island, New York Our Lady of Mercy Academy, Syosset, New York Stately is probably the best word for Marge, but her blend of dignity and humor, reserve and generosity make this a stateliness which is never imposing. A fanciful imagination, enriched by a creative bent, is the source of Marge’s thought-provoking stories which often hold us spellbound. This same literary endowment has made her recent mem¬ bership on The Centurion staff one which has greatly benefited the college paper. A lover of boats and anything to do with the water, Marge’s serenity will insure her smooth sailing through life. 38 Major: Physics Minor: Mathematics Esther Brooke Christmas, 8. de M Route 1, Box 54, Upper Marlboro, Maryland Convent of the Sacred Heart, Washington, D. C. Although an ardent devotee of the Confederacy, Esther never hesi¬ tates to drive Caldonia” up into Yankee territory for a Holy Cross weekend. Tinkering with radios in the Physics’ Lab is one of her favorite hobbies, but this has not prevented her finding time for class projects. However, her wholehearted devotion and her willingness to work behind the spotlight have shown themselves chiefly in her capa¬ city as vice-president of the A. A. Unselfishness coupled with under¬ standing make Magnolia a friend to whom we hate to say good-bye. 39 {jail Cone 16 7 5 th Street, Brooklyn, New York Saint Angela Hall, Brooklyn, New York In Gail congeniality and delicate femininity have been so mingled that those who meet her discover at once a delightfully refreshing friend. A deep-seated love of music permeates everything she does and has made her a loyal member of the Glee Club. Yet Gail extends her interests to include not only operas and concerts but riding and politics as well. In the midst of Citizenship’s heated debates, her quiet voice often silences our own loud expostulations, for we have learned the value of Gail’s opinions. 40 Audrey Connell 99 3 Park Avenue, New York 28, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Ninety-first Street, New York City Among the usual run of announcements, Audrey will have one that is sure to cause a buzz of conversation. As co-chairman of the Frivo¬ lous Affairs Committee, she is Manhattanville’s own issue of Cue, while as our : ' Table Hopping” reporter she brings to each issue of The Cen¬ turion another column of thoughts and sayings on Manhattanville life. With a dash of savoir faire, and a love of the out-of-doors, Audrey finds the perfect background for her versatility in either town or country. Major: English Minor: French Cat heme Crossley, S. de M- 23 Stratford Place, Binghamton, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut An even disposition and cheerful outlook are the ingredients found in Kate’s recipe for life. As chairman of the Serenades Committee, literary light” of the 1954 Tower staff, and president of the English Club, she has demonstrated her powers in three fields of literary en¬ deavor: organizing, writing, and stimulating discussion. For these qualities which are doubly enhanced by an unforced graciousness and unassuming manner, we feel confident in placing Kate’s goal no lower than the stars. 42 Peggy Ame Crosson 21 Hadden Road, Scarsdale, New York Ursuline School, New Rochelle, New York Peggy’s happy, peaceful outlook on life, combined with a sincere concern for everyone, has made her friendship a real acquisition. Inter¬ ested in politics, she is an ardent supporter of the Democratic Party, while a love of riding and the outdoors are easily combined with an appreciation of concerts and opera. Peggy’s never-failing thoughtfulness, which has endeared her to all at Manhattanville, will assure her the happiness she deserves. 43 Frances Arthur Cummins 3020 Poppy Way, Louisville, Kentucky Louisville Collegiate School, Louisville, Kentucky There is a depth and singular expression behind her eyes, that makes us want to know more about Frankie. Frankie’s contributions to the college include everything from her song Urn Qui Shiney Miney ...” and other such ditties to her service as member of Ten¬ nis and Basketball varsities and senior representative to A.A. A com¬ bination of light and shade makes her an enigma of the nicest kind — one that is always full of pleasant surprises. 44 Mary Virginia ' Derneux, S. de M- 1 West Bradley Lane, Chevy Chase, Maryland Convent of the Sacred Heart, Washington, D. C. Ginny loves people, but her special interest lies in half the popula¬ tion of Maryland — namely, her family. Her enthusiastic and skillful participation in class games won her the President’s Cup in her Freshman year. These same qualities were primarily responsible for the outstanding success of the annual Bridge Tea which ran smoothly this year under Ginny’s able leadership. A firm faith in her convictions, together with a determination and perseverance to uphold them, will aid Ginny in starting a new life in the West. 45 Catharine-Mary ' Donevan, S. de M- 117 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts Winsor School, Boston, Massachusetts The ability to retain her happy and unruffled attitude through all the tests, term-papers and trials of college life reflects Catharine-Mary’s inner serenity and well-rounded personality. Almost anything you can mention, from sports to the opera, finds a place in her interests. Devo¬ tion to volunteer work betrays a truly generous heart. Whatever she decides upon, music or business, C. M.’s” associates will be fortunate to know her. 46 Dorraiue Dupre 25 6 Querbes Avenue, Outremont 8, Montreal, Canada Pensionat du Sacre-Coeur, Sault-au-Recollet, Montreal Mix curly hair and a unique sense of humor, add a French accent, with a dash of typical Gallic charm — this is Lorry. With frequent trips to the Laurentian mountains, and even more numerous journeys to the nearest golf course, she is usually a hard person to locate, but any¬ one who has attempted to find her has found it well worth the effort. It is appropriate that she is doing her senior project on personality testing, for hers is a personality that will pass every test with flying colors. 47 Mary (jail Sams, S. de M- 2 62 West End Avenue, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Torresdale, Pennsylvania A good listener, a riotous story-teller — it is always fun to be with Gail. Our Ping Pong Champion, she is a true devotee of anything athletic, whether it be on the hockey field at Purchase or a farm in Ohio. Gail’s unselfishness and devotion to any Manhattanville cause is well known, but her most outstanding contribution has been her readi¬ ness to accomplish even the most thankless tasks that are hers as vice- chairman of Welfare. Seeking the best in other people, Gail has led us to expect the best from her, an expectation which has always been fulfilled. 48 Diane Jarrell 6-05 160th Street, Beechhurst, Long Island, New York Dominican Academy, New York City Diane has a beautifully cultivated voice and a gracious manner, and her membership in the Brownson Honor Society proves a keen intelli¬ gence underlies this charm. She has contributed her talents to the carols, concerts, and operettas of the Glee Club and Pius X Choir. Poise and determination have been evidenced by her capable management of the Thursday opera box. Whatever the field of her endeavors, we know that Diane’s abilities will win real recognition. 49 Major: Psychology Minor: Economics Mary Jarry 4443 Park Avenue, New York 57, New York Saint Barnabas, New York City A realistic and frank approach to life can always be found in Mary’s conversation, but her frankness is spiced with a quick wit and a friendly smile. Mary’s activities cover many fields; playing the piano, riding and talking politics are just some of the things that she does well, but no matter what has to be done, Mary will accomplish it with thoroughness and vitality. These characteristics are bound to mark her future with the same success she has achieved here at Manhattanville. 50 Margaret TitzQerald 14 Randolph Avenue, Waterbury, Connecticut Lauralton Hall, Milford, Connecticut Meg’s wide scope of interests and sparkling wit have enlivened many a conversation. She is relaxed, casual and gay — whether acting as our competent moderator of Citizenship Club, demonstrating a for¬ midable skill at bridge, or organizing a safari to near or distant points. However, Meg’s talents are not confined to her myriad extra-cur¬ ricular and social activities. Her stimulating frank opinions and apt remarks touch on almost any phase of intellectual life. A notable laugh and a flair for journalism make Meg a refreshing individual. 51 m t A Major: Music Minor: Education Suzanne Stances Slanagan, 8. tie M- 45 3 Warren Avenue, Kingston, Pennsylvania Saint Ann’s Academy, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania With a twinkle in her bright blue eyes Suzanne takes everyday ups and downs in her stride. When not making plans for a Frivolous Af¬ fairs’ excursion into New York or collecting for Relief and The Cen¬ turion, Suzanne can probably be found hurrying off to do hospital work or practice teaching. Her capacity for action leaves us breathless but respectful, for no one could help admiring such attentiveness to those in real need. With her joyful disposition and boundless energy, the future could only be a bright one for Suzanne. 52 Elisabeth Couise Jlynn 657 1 North Glenwood Avenue, Chicago 26 , Illinois Convent of the Sacred Heart, Sheridan Road, Chicago, Illinois Smizzie belies the cliche about the Jack-of-all-trades because despite an amazing number of activities, she has succeeded in pursuing them all with thoroughness. Relief Committee, International Club and Opera Committee have benefited from her dependability and unsparing ef¬ fort, while her talent for organization helped to assure the success of this year’s first Freshman Dance. But in any capacity we will remem¬ ber Smizzie as a person whose thoughtfulness and generosity have assured her our wholehearted friendship. Major: History Minor: Art and Italian 53 Anne D. Mey Riversville Road, Greenwich, Connecticut Saint Angela Hall Academy Determination and optimism characterize Anne’s approach to any project whether it be the latest edition of The Essay or next week’s concert by the Pius X Choir. Although she loves to read and would gladly curl up with a good book, Anne equally enjoys chatting with anyone from the perplexed Freshman inquiring about English Club to the jubilant Senior who has just handed in the final draft of her research paper. Amiability and a buoyant personality matched by depth of thought will make Anne very much missed on the heights”. 54 Major: Music Minor: Art Caroline Jritzscke Old Farm Road, Darien, Connecticut Convent of the Sacred Heart, Torresdale, Pennsylvania If we were asked to grant one favor to Baboo, our choice would be unanimous — a gym excuse! As the most glorious and gracious gar¬ dener of the 1952 Hazing Season, she combined an inspired sense of the humorous with an uncomfortably ingenious imagination. Extensive travel and summer stock work have provided her with a treasury of anecdotes making an hour’s talk with Baboo both educational and amusing. A natural propensity for fun augmented by a serious interest in art, music and dramatics have made Baboo one of our favorites from ’5 5. 55 gloria Mm Qalamb, 8. dc M- 17325 Pontchartrain Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan Convent of the Sacred Heart, Lawrence Avenue, Detroit Gloria’s much revered grasp of Metaphysics has been the salvation of many a harassed junior, while her capacity for fun has enlivened numerous shopping sprees and Room 70 conclaves. Never at a loss for words, Glo has proved herself a noble chairman of DISC; ever full of song, she has been a loyal member of Glee Club and Pius X Choir. Her rare ability to penetrate the heart of anyone or anything and to evaluate what she finds in the light of ultimate reality has taught us the worth of Glo’s, opinion, and won the admiration of all who know her. 56 Major: History Minor: English Alary Agars (jam 7764 North Shore Road, Norfolk, Virginia Granby School, Norfolk, Virginia Of late, Southern accents have become a trademark peculiar to the chairman of the Dance Committee — and Mary has continued this tradition. Under her competent guidance, our dances have been in¬ creasingly successful. Although her Southern hospitality has earned her a time-consuming position as director of Manhattanville’s social life, Mary equally enjoys spending a few quiet hours with a novel by Mauriac or Fitzgerald. One of those perennially happy people with a holiday sparkle, Mary has a genuine love of giving other people a good time. 57 Frances Marion Qimber, S.dc M- 2 Clay Street, Newport, Rhode Island Georgetown Visitation Convent, Washington, D. C. As Welfare Board representative, Fran has shown us that beneath her gentle, composed manner, there lies a firm intelligence and organi¬ zational ability. Despite her active membership in Class Council and E. de M. Council, she nevertheless can squeeze an hour from her busy schedule to help wherever help is needed. Fran is one of those who succumbs easily to the lure of a good book, but she will always desert it to defend her beloved Navy. To her chosen field as a French teacher, Fran will bring not only a keen mind but her generous warmth. 5 8 Norma Concepcion Menaces 217 Aurora, Pasay City, Philippines Assumption Convent, Manila Norma has brought from the Philippines a charm and graciousness marked by her refined taste in music and dress. The International Club has been enriched by Norma’s cosmopolitan outlook and skillful per¬ formance of her native dances. As a custodian of the lights” she has given devoted service to the Dramatic Club. Her quiet sympathy, eagerness to understand people, and appreciation of the humorous make us sorry that Norma’s days at Manhattanville have come to an end. 59 Suzanne Mickey 92 1 Private Road, Winnetka, Illinois Convent of the Sacred Heart, Lake Forest, Illinois No one can say that Sue is not a person with diverse interests, for her favorite pastimes range from philosophical discussions to roast-beef dinners. Casual efficiency and calm assurance have won our com¬ plete faith, so that as Business Manager of The Centurion, Inter-class Treasurer, and member of Catholic Action Financial, she is entrusted with that important aspect of any organization — its finances. Such qualities suggest the lady executive, but we who know Suzanne love even more the warmth and graciousness that permeate her every act. 60 {Josefm Jglesias Carretera Street, Catano, Puerto Rico Father Young Memorial Academy, New York City Josie seems to have achieved a goal that many of us strive for and few attain — the ability to meet anything that arises with an unruffled equanimity. Serenity has certainly brought success in her case, for an affinity for brilliant marks has made Josie the envy of us all and a regular” on Dean’s List. She was an obvious choice for International Club president, because of her inquisitive interest in national customs and ideas. Her loyalty, capabilities and understanding know no bounds and are sure to bring her international fame. 61 Major: French Minor: Music Joyce M argaret fames 211 West 141 Street, New York 30, New York Saint Francis de Sales, Rock Castle, Virginia In the two years that she has been with us, Joyce has entered wholeheartedly into college activities, and as secretary to the Inter¬ racial Action Committee last year, she gave of her time both un¬ selfishly and effectively. However, music is Joyce’s work and play at Manhattanville, and her accomplishments in this field are many. But it is her generosity and unpredictable sense of humor that have won Joyce our lasting friendship and have made her a part of Manhattan¬ ville — a part we will hate to lose. 62 Major: Political Science Minor: French 156 East 2nd Street, Clifton, New Jersey Convent of the Sacred Heart, Albany, New York Ilona’s cheerful smile has brightened many a blue day. Not only has her genuine understanding of people endeared her to all Manhattanville, but her innate generosity has also reached out through her service on Relief and Girl Scout Committees to encompass a group as boundless as her heart. Although her service of others consumes many hours, Ilona has found time for International and Glee Clubs, and the oppor¬ tunity to listen to her native Hungarian music. Elona”, we wish you the best for your future as a newly born” American! 63 Deborah Cregg Johnson 502 Scott Avenue, Syracuse, New York Cathedral Academy, Syracuse, New York It’s a most unusual day when Debbie doesn’t give a cheery greeting to everyone she meets whether she is relaxing in the Snack Bar after a hard-fought battle in the Brady Memorial Library or racing to beat the I.B.M. system to class. Her poised manner and practical outlook on life made her an excellent choice for vice-president of the Debating Club while each spring she ventures onto the Lacrosse field to uphold Manhattanville’s honor. A level head and loyal heart characterize Deb¬ bie as one of Manhattanville’s best representatives. 64 Mary Kay Johnson 26 North Road, Kingston, Rhode Island Mary A. Burnham School for Girls, Northhampton, Massachusetts An Irish heart and smile, and a carefree way remind us of no other than Mary Kay. With a journalistic bent and a gift for organization, she was the guiding force behind the 1954 Tower. During her four years at Manhattanville, Mary Kay has been an outstanding contributor to The Centurion, where her efforts and talents earned her the posi¬ tion of Associate Editor. We wish the best of luck to Mary Kay in her future journalistic career, but we know that because of her talents the success she achieves will never be due to luck alone. 65 Mary Pat Johnston 165 East 64th Street, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Mary Pat has a quiet and unhurried manner, but this fails to de¬ ceive anyone who has been with her more than five minutes. Debat¬ ing Club, N.F.C.C.S. and N.S.A. have all profited from her know¬ ledge of the financial and her keen business sense. But in spite of this, Mary Pat always finds time for a Saturday matinee, and is one of our most reliable authorities on Broadway’s best. In any field she enters, Mary Pat’s leisurely sense of humor and quick mind will earn her the high place her talents deserve. 66 Mne Murd Keller 614 Thornwood Lane, Northfield, Illinois Convent of the Sacred Heart, Sheridan Road, Chicago Anyone looking for information on where to go in New York can apply to Panny. For despite the fact that Chicago is her first love, she is an authority on the best Manhattan has to offer from antiques to Italian food. An artist of ability, her sketches enlivened the 1954 Tower. But whatever she is doing, it will be accomplished with the imagination and whimsical sense of humor that have become her trade¬ marks. It is not only through these qualities, however, that Panny has endeared herself to us, but by giving freely of her time and herself. 67 [Janet Kirby 76 Mount Tom Road, Pelham, New York Ursuline Academy, New Rochelle, New York Janet has been described as having a four-wheel personality. If this means eyes behind which always lurks a gleam of humor, a beguiling air, frankness and sincerity, we think the description is an apt one. She has played memorable parts in Dramatic Club productions, but the Class of ’5 5 and those to follow are especially grateful for her work and success in standardizing the college rings. Janet is one whose acquaintances will always become friends, for you cannot be with her for a moment without being won by her infectious vivacity. 68 Janet Ceakan 160 Cabrini Boulevard, New York 3 3, New York Dominican Academy, New York City A certain poise and charm is Janet’s, whether playing a Beethoven sonata, or out for an afternoon sail. Hers is an exceptional talent, made more delightful by the modesty with which she displays it. Pius X Choir, Glee Club and Serenades have benefited from her more than capable accompaniment, and her Dean’s List standing re¬ veals excellence in other fields besides music. It is not only Janet’s remarkable ability, but Janet herself whom we shall miss next fall. 69 Blaine Marie Coughran, S. de M- 438 East Sedgwick Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Convent of the Sacred Heart, Torresdale, Pennsylvania If you spot Elaine coming toward you with an expectant look in her eyes, she is either looking for more people to sing the Mass the next morning, or for some victim she can lure over to the psychology testing lab. However, nine times out of ten we will go along with her for doing anything with Elaine is bound to be fun. As president of the Pius X Choir, she has accentuated its value as an important part of Catholic Action. Elaine leaves her loyalty and generous spirit to Man- hattanville for us to imitate but seldom surpass. 70 Eileen Mice Ojhh 1069 Washington Avenue, Pelham Manor, New York Ursuline Academy, New Rochelle, New York This pert blond senior has won our hearts completely in the two years she has been with us at Manhattanville. Through her own enthu¬ siasm and her valuable information and experience, she has done a great deal to introduce and foster an innovation at Manhattanville: sailing enthusiasm. A readiness to help where and when needed, and a facility in the art of making friends are valuable assets to her; by possessing these qualities Eileen has been an even more valuable asset to us. 71 $ean Ellen Madden, S. de M- 741 Judson Avenue, Evanston, Illinois Convent of the Sacred Heart, Sheridan Road, Chicago, Illinois Coming from a staunch Midwesterner, Jean’s unsolicited and un¬ stinting praise of California should be an item of interest to the Chamber of Commerce. However, whether she is singing the praises of the San Jose climate or discussing some complex point concerning the finances of the Bank of America, we have no argument with Jeanie because her enthusiasm is always contagious and convincing. As chairman of Catholic Action Financial she has enlarged our spirit of giving — which is only to say that we imitate her own generosity of spirit. Major: Social Studies Minor: Mathematics 72 Nancy Magnum 167 East 82nd Street, New York 28, New York Saint Lawrence Academy, New York City Nancy has the remarkable ability of arriving leisurely at the very last minute and giving, by her sense of humor and unhurried friendli¬ ness, the impression that she has been there all the while. From her philosophical explorations, she has learned that life’s best features pass unnoticed by someone in a rush. While the Debating and Glee Clubs have been her interests here, she equally enjoys a spirited conversation and her pertinent contributions are always welcome. Isn’t she here yet? That’s all right — it is well worth waiting for Nancy. 73 Major: Economics Minor: Social Studies pan Constance Mahoney, 8. de M- 100 Van Ness Road, Belmont 78, Massachusetts Belmont High School, Belmont, Massachusetts Joan is a singular combination of intelligence and leadership. The first is exhibited by her membership in the Brownson Honor Society; the second, by her devoted participation in N.F.C.C.S. Sincere in all her efforts, she is always ready to lend a helping hand to preparations for a debate or an International Club party. Joan’s cooperation and clever ideas have been the life force of many a project here as they will be in whatever groups are fortunate enough to have her with them. 74 Major: Physics Minor: Mathematics Mary-Elizabeth Marsh 115 Nelson Avenue, Staten Island 8, New York Notre Dame Academy, New York City If you are searching for the concluding section of an exciting mystery serial in the Saturday Evening Post, Mary probably has it. If dialing operator proves unsuccessful, she is most likely to be found in the physics lab. As president of the Science Club and director of Manhattanville’s own museum”, Mary h as succeeded in arousing our interest in her own hobby. We are confident that Mary’s ambition and determination will make her welcome in the field of nulcear physics. 75 Mgd ' rn K. Mastri 45 Oarman Street, Rochester, New York Nazareth Academy, Rochester, New York Angie will long be remembered as the forebearing soul who manned the movie machine and called for light” whenever it broke down in the middle of a tense scene. Organizational ability and an earnest desire to lighten the burdens of others have constituted this pre-med major as a competent member of the Science and Dramatic Clubs and the Interracial Justice Commission. Whether she is matching wits with you in a game of canasta or simply passing the time of day, Angie’s presence is ever both entertaining and provocative. jCec McCabe, S. de M- Red Mill Road, Rensselaer, New York Albany Academy for Girls, Albany, New York When Tinker tilts her head to one side and pauses for a moment, you may be certain that the words you are about to hear will be the climax to a witty discussion or the practical solution to the problem at hand. As a member of the Student Government, she has given her time, energy and enthusiasm, as well as her friendship, to the entire college. We know that Tinker will always be in demand wherever Manhattanville needs an ambassadress of good-will. 77 flora M cCarthy 526 Forest Avenue, Rye, New York Rye High School, Rye, New York In Nora we find a rare paradox — she is a radical with a whimsical sense of humor, a no-nonsense Tower Business Manager with a fun- loving heart. As editor of The Centurion, a keen practical ability together with an easy-going manner resulted in unfailingly relaxed efficency. A spur to both College and Class Councils, her original ideas, earnestly proposed, were readily received. Memorable charac¬ teristics? She has many, but Nora is her own trademark. Major: English Minor: History Major: English Minor: History Margaret Mary McDonnell 910 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Margie’s casual, straightforward manner and frankly expressed opin¬ ions mark her as a person whose advice is usually worth taking. Unpre¬ dictable and delightfully amusing, her remarks on any subject leave a multitude of friends in her wake. Skilled in athletics, she has lent her support to class games and been an outstanding member of the Tennis Varsity. The last of the McDonnell clan, Margie has left her own mark on Manhattanville which will be remembered as long as there is laughter here at Purchase. 79 Major: English Minor: Psychology Phyllis McManus 46 5 Main Street, Winchester, Massachusetts Boston Academy of Notre Dame, Boston, Massachusetts Boston has sent us its best advertisement in Phyllis. There is warmth and humor in her eyes which radiate a spirit of rare self-possession and unselfish interest. In her own words, she is the reason the Glee Club had to have try-outs this year,” but with or without operatic qualities, her voice and opinion are welcome anywhere. Phyllis always looks meticulously neat, but with more grace than precision. We predict for her a joyful future, for she has the gift of making joy for others. 80 Carol Mn Mead 129 Bellevue Avenue, Melrose, Massachusetts Sainte Chretienne Academy, Salem, Massachusetts We can always count on Carol to see the best of any situation and luckily for us her optimism is contagious. Her enjoyment of fine choral music has brought to us a deeper appreciation of this art, while her talent has been an asset to both choir and the Dramatic Club. Carol has a unique ability to meet and make friends — perhaps it is the Boston accent that intrigues them, or more likely it is the straight¬ forwardness which she manifests in everything she says and does. 81 Major: French Minor: Social Studies Sonia Monagas, £. dc M- 67 Huicy Street, Santurce, Puerto Rico Convent of the Sacred Heart, Santurce, Puerto Rico A swirl of crinolines and a clatter of high heels typify Sonia, but knowing her one realizes that optimism and generosity are qualities that are just as easily perceived. Her active participation in International Club and willingness to teach every type of Spanish dance from the Merengue” to the popular Mambo have resulted in our greater apprecia¬ tion of Puerto Rico. Sonia’s lighthearted gaiety is balanced by a practi¬ cal common sense that has made her an integral part of college life. 82 Kathleen Malian 30 Eastchester Road, New Rochelle, New York Academy of the Holy Names, Albany, New York Do you like my new earrings?”, is one of Kay’s favorite questions as she breezes into the snack-bar after a session in the biology lab. Settling down with a cup of coffee, she is ready to defend Senator Mc¬ Carthy or modern art with anyone who will listen. As president of the Debating Club, she inflames arguments with tidbits gleaned in the caverns of her favorite” campus haunt — the library. Kay’s serious¬ ness of purpose and extensive hours of study are sure to be rewarded in her chosen profession — medical illustration. 83 Aiury Anne Muller- Zhym 418 West 118th Street, New York 27, New York Hunter College High School, New York City When the smoke in the snack-bar seems unusually thick, it is quite probable that Mary is engaged in a heated debate over Senator McCarthy or the Anti-New Dealers. Mary has manifested an interest in the Eng¬ lish and Glee Clubs, and after the daily trek back to New York, she enjoys pursuing the baseball and basketball scores in the latest paper. Mary can successfully take on all comers whether in a discussion or a game of ping pong, but we remember her not so much for this as for the candor of her opinions and the sincerity of her friendship. Major: English Minor: Art 84 Mary I ' m Noble 1 West 72nd Street, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York City After a year at the Sorbonne, Marylin has brought us back a touch of Paris. But the charm and grace that are especially hers could not be acquired by a winter in Europe; it is a natural gift possessed by some, and loved by all. One of her interests is opera, and Marylin has lent her knowledge and ability as chairman of this year’s Opera Committee. To devote so much time and energy to a cause is in itself admirable, but Marylin does more, for she goes about it in a quiet way, claiming no credit where credit is most due. 85 Sheila Frances 0 ' Men 99 Brookline Avenue, Albany, New York Academy of the Holy Names, Albany, New York The Class of ’5 5 is fortunate in having a vice-president whose warm friendliness extends to all, from the most bewildered Freshman to her closest friends. As stage director for the Dramatic Club, Sheila deals with the synchronization of the different aspects involved in a pro¬ duction; as vice-president she balances her abilities, duties and time to meet the demands which a Student Government officer is called upon to face. Through all she does there runs a vein of determined loyalty to friend and ideal, as strong as steel and as shining as gold. 86 Major: English Minor: Political Science Maureen Margaret O ' Keeffe 188 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Albany, New York If you are wondering when the next issue of The Centurion will go to press, Weenie is the person to ask. As a member of the 1954 Tower board and as Associate Editor of The Centurion, she has shown a real journalistic flair. Often found in the midst of a lively discussion, she is glad to offer frank opinions on many a topic from fashions and golf to naturalistic” writing. Weenie leaves on the heights” her sense of humor and her Mona Lisa smile. 87 Oll ' m c. Oliva 48-27 64th Street, Woodside, Long Island, New York Saint Agnes Academy, College Point, New York She shall have music wherever she goes,” can well be said of Lillian, for we know that whatever the future holds in store for her, music will always play an important part in her life. Her numerous activities both on and off campus have occupied much of her free time, but Lillian is a person who will be sorely missed at Manhattanville, not only for her beautiful voice whi ch enriched many a Pius X” concert:, but for the spirit of genuine friendliness and comradeship which she has conveyed to all who know her. 88 Margaret Cat heme O ' Regan, 8. deM - 114 East 84th Street, New York, New York Saint Laurence Academy, New York City Margaret radiates friendliness and cheerfulness sufficient to dispel the gloom from even the bluest of Monday mornings. Her major field, social studies, was well chosen, for Margaret’s hobby is people and there are few who could resist that disarming Irish smile. She has won our admiration by her power for organization and the perseverance which she displayed as dayhop representative to Welfare. There is the charm of the perfect hostess and kindliness of the perfect friend in every¬ thing Margaret undertakes. 89 Maw J. Pinto 2781 Claflin Avenue, Bronx 68, New York Elizabeth Seton School, Yonkers, New York Any experience shared with Marie is enjoyable. A combination of humor and honesty makes her a good companion at either a concert or horse race. An interest in people and world affairs led her to devote much time to D.I.S.C., Interracial, and N.F.C.C.S. Her wide range of musical activities include duo-piano work and frequent attend¬ ance at the opera. We are sure Marie’s tact and poise will always com¬ mand the respect and friendship they have won at college. 90 Major: Music Education Minor: Music Theory Jeanne Marie Prial Scotchtown Road, Goshen, New York Saint John’s, Goshen, New York The unique sense of humor which has so often reduced us to helpless mirth, and her favorite pursuit, getting to know people,” reveal Jeanne’s cheerful disposition. Yet she can become serious in an instant. Although her dominant interest is music, she can always spare time for her beloved trotting races or a Dodger game. Jeanne believes that life is an education in itself, and we know it will be her destiny to educate others in the true value of friendship. 91 Mary Ann Rice 143 Maxwell Avenue, Geneva, New York Geneva High School, Geneva, New York Imagine a blend of exceptional intelligence, vivid personality, and relaxed charm. Mary Ann is one of those rare and fortunate individuals in whom this image is realized. As president of A. A., she has done a more than capable job, for her interest extends to many phases of athletics. Few are the class activities to which she has not contributed; her quick wit and definite ideas have been shown, to our advantage, in Tower, The Centurion, and English Club. Our cheers will follow Mary Ann from these heights” to those beyond. 92 Ellen pan Kubacky, S. de M- 61 Passaic Avenue, Passaic, New Jersey Pope Pius XII High School, Passaic, New Jersey Ellen has a flair for the original — and what is even more rare, the ability and courage to carry out her ideas. As a staunch defender of modern art, she practices what she preaches; her mobile thought earrings” will long be remembered as evidence of this. Ellen’s artistic ability has been a great aid to Dramatic Club; her poise and social grace have vitalized many a Tea Dance. If enthusiasm and talent matched by a capacity for work are any guarantee of success, Ellen’s future is assured. 93 Am Marie Shea, S. de M- 16 5 Beach 134th Street, Belle Harbor, New York Saint Agnes Seminary, Brooklyn, New York For Nancy, whose task it has been to guide with justice, listen with patience, and give with joy, we set in print, that it may last forever, our final thank you.” With her wealth of information on current topics, Nancy adds spirit to any Citizenship Club discussion, while her ability to display the right prop at the right time has aided many a Dramatic Club production. As president of this year’s Student Government, Nancy has devoted her many talents almost entirely to the college. But her greatest contribution has been herself — her time, her effort and her heart. 94 Mary Mu Suits 72 Ralph Avenue, White Plains, New York Academy of Our Lady of Good Counsel, White Plains, New York With a quiet and unobtrusive manner, Mary Ann possesses that rare ability of knowing how to do the right thing at the right moment. A gracious hostess, a delightful companion, she enjoys anything that promises laughter and fun. However, there is more than just the party girl to Mary Ann. To us who have known her, she has always displayed an unselfish interest in others and a willingness to serve that has already helped to ensure her success as an R. N. To one who has learned to understand life well and live it fully, we wish the best of luck. 95 Mary Jane Sullivan, S. de M- 27 Kingman Road, Newton Highlands, Massachusetts Convent of the Sacred Heart, Newton, Massachusetts Mary Jane is in a constant hurry, yet she always has time for others. She will stop to describe her latest shopping spree, and to discuss Russia or events on Cape Cod before dashing off to the library, switch¬ board, or White Plains. When M. J. combines her love of talking with her enthusiasm for a cause, she will never stop until you are its most ardent supporter. This blend has made her an outstanding head of the Catholic Action Council. M. J.’s complete dependability and gift of self have won our hearts — we are confident of her future success. 96 T)ruscUla Zat lor Sigma Place, Riverdale, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Dru is a girl who wants to know the why” of things. Modern, art appeals to her progressive ideas, while a love of the West shows her spirit of adventure. An excellent athlete, always ready for a sail or a set of tennis, her quick thinking and skill have saved many a basket and made many a goal on court or hockey field for the class of ’5 5. As it has here, an easy-going disposition will always keep Dru ahead of the game.” 97 Maria Fernanda Vall-llobem, S. dc M- 170 San Jorge Street, Santurce, Puerto Rico Convent of the Sacred Heart, Santurce, Puerto Rico An unfeigned optimism is characteristic of Marife at all times, whether she is listening to French records, reading with her dark glasses on, or out for a Friday night pizza. From her vast repertoire of imagi¬ nary tales, she will draw out a fantastic story, appropriate for the par¬ ticular situation or atmosphere. A romanticist at heart, famous for her research paper: The Origins of Courtly Love,” Marife will always make her own dreams come true . 98 A Major: Practical Art Minor: Art History Mary Ann Vincent 21 Spring Street, Riverside, Connecticut Sacred Heart Academy, Stamford, Connecticut First, last, and always, Mary is an artist. Fler art penetrates her every activity — her summer jobs, conversations, and recreation. This enthu¬ siasm for her chosen field plus a love of children will assist her future profession — teaching. Generous, with a generosity that is sincere and wholehearted, she lends an interested and capable hand to every chari¬ table cause. Mary has a gift for shari ng, and she has shared with us a cheerfulness and charm we will long remember. 99 Mm {Josephine Wall, 8. de M- Running Fox Farm, Sycamore Mills, Media, Pennsylvania Convent of the Sacred Heart, Overbrook, Pennsylvania N. S. A.? It’s fabulous!” And Ann has convinced even the most skeptical. As vice-president of International Affairs, she has combined intensity and enthusiasm with a wealth of ideas. But this is to count only one of Ann’s achievements. Whether playing the Grand Inquisitor in the Glee Club’s production of The Gondoliers, discussing the modern short story at English Club, or entertaining friends at Running Fox Farm, Ann’s Irish smile has never been lacking. A dynamic companion, Ann will long be remembered by a world-wide circle of friends. 100 Sarah Elizabeth Walsh, S. de M- 811 Windsor Road, Cumberland, Maryland Convent of the Sacred Heart, Torresdale, Pennsylvania Betsy is a petite person — even her handwriting attests to this. But to penetrate the surface is to find a heart large enough to encompass the whole world, an intelligence able to understand many things which elude the average mind, and a character that knows no pettiness. The Children of Mary and Glee Club have seen the immediate results of her effective but unobtrusive gift of leadership. To know Betsy is to love her; to be counted among her friends is an honor, and one which all at Manhattanville have been given. 101 Elizabeth Weiser 115 East 89th Street, New York 28, New York Marymount High School, New York City As head of Welfare, Liz has shown her calm efficiency to full advan¬ tage. But for all her businesslike manner, there is always a mischievous gleam lurking in the depths of her brown eyes. Born in Vienna, perhaps the old world” heritage accounts for her love of cultural pursuits. A good classical pianist herself, she is also an appreciative audience. Cool presence of mind is the evidence of her inner serenity. No matter how much her talents have endeared her to us, Manhattanville will longest remember Liz for herself — easily the nicest thing about her. 102 Catherine Zum Umnnen 846 Highland Avenue, Westfield, New Jersey Dwight School for Girls, Englewood, New Jersey Kay is the kind of person who can enjoy herself thoroughly, con¬ tribute hours to Dance Committee or class games, and still get on the Dean’s List. Perhaps her knowledge of psychology is merely one reflec¬ tion of her social mindedness and friendly nature. It might account for her top notch” bridge game too. The first to laugh at anything humorous, Kay can quickly become quiet and understanding when one of her many friends has a problem. We have no worries about Kay — she will make her life a happy one. 103 White light folded, sheathed about her, folded. 0 SENIORS onvcnt Avenue received its last Freshman class four years ago in 1951. S While today’s Freshmen reside on the first floor of Founders’, those at Convent Avenue dwelt in Arcadia, Broadway or Freshman Heaven. Daily they trudged over to the Teahouse or down to Doc’s for an hour’s fun. They too underwent the trials and tribulations of hazing, as Pipsqueak Privates were marched along the corridors to class by a group of Genial Generals. Drawn together by this common bond, they continued their united action to produce an original operetta, A Little Bit of Heaven”, as their Freshman entertainment. The Class of ’5 5 grew firm roots in the foundations of the old Manhattanville” and by May were ready, with the rest of the college, to be transplanted here at Purchase. Their arrival as Sophomores was somewhat dampened by the humiliating experience of being forced to ask a well orientated, future Feeble, Floppy Flower exactly which path one took to the post office and just where the nearest phone booth could be located. However, they soon adopted drastic methods to salve their wounded pride as excessive chlorophyll was quickly removed by a band of Glorious, Gracious Gardeners. Later in the year, weeks of feverish activity and hours of practicing for Serenades under the competent direction of Joan Brennan and Kate Crossley were rewarded by a perfect performance the night before graduation. Junior year saw the Class of ’5 5 ready to take up the responsibilities of upper¬ classmen. With the aid of snackbar seminars, they conquered Metaphysics, while Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Beane” became the password for the more economically minded. Mary Kay, Nora and Mary Ann proved themselves taskmasters in search of perfection in every field and their efforts resulted in a yearbook that won the approval and admiration of the entire college. As the college ascended the Seven Purgatorial Circles, originality augmented by a talent for mimicry made the Prophecies an inimitable success and a regretful farewell to the Class of ’54. The choice of Nancy, Sheila, Tinker and Liz proved a good one, and with Mother Dowd’s guidance and intuitive understanding to support them, they were ready to take the last big step in their academic career. The perils and pitfalls of Senior year were accepted and overcome with gay composure. Research papers came off the production line in quick succession and harassed English and History majors searched diligently for courses that would give them a well rounded background for comprehensives. To aid in this 107 LEE McCABE, Senior Representative; SHEILA O’BRIEN, Vice-President; NANCY SHEA, President. frenzied search for knowledge, the Seniors rejoiced in the 1:00 A. M. study privilege. Room 70 and the study room were filled each night with the clatter of typewriters and the clinking of Pepsi Cola bottles—but never a word was uttered among these diligent workers! Raising money for the class project was undertaken with enthusiasm. A bazaar, enhanced by Pamela the Palmist and a gambling concession, drained from the unwary student’s pocket even the last dime carefully saved all day for that nine o’clock cup of coffee. As graduation draws near the Seniors approach the long list of last times” that makes leaving Manhattanville so hard. We have much to thank them for— their leadership, advice, and encouragement. But most of all we are grateful to them for helping us realize that while the buildings here at Purchase are new, Manhattanville has a past rich in spirit and tradition. 108 Senior Class Song Manhattanville, we cannot take you with us When we leave in fifty-five, But your spirit and your courage We will always keep alive. Within your walls we’ve learned to see The beauty of friendship and of truth. Through the years we’ll stand together In our memories of you. SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL First Row: K. Bender, F. Gimber.

The pause that refreshes 112 JUNIORS ’cat magnifique was the only expression that the Class of ’5 6 could find to describe their delight upon returning to Purchase this September. As upper¬ classmen they were free at last from orientation and chairs, surveys and Saturday classes. In assuming their new responsibilities, the Juniors, with Kathy, Boody, Jane and Vir in the lead, lent their support to the Seniors, and undertook to impart to their Freshman sisters the spirit of Manhattanville. Orientation Week found thirty-five courageous Juniors undaunted by the task of accompanying 160 Freshmen through the first difficult days of their college career. Gladly they carried bags, gave Cook’s tours of the campus, answered questions, and demonstrated the do’s and don’ts” of group living. Before the week was up, they had discovered the friendly and appreciative spirit that has made their sister class a welcome addition to the Manhattanville ranks. When the college returned and classes began, the Juniors undertook to usher at all major functions. Under Mother McCarthy’s instruction they quickly learned that even if the ceiling were to fall in, they must remain calm and remedy the situation. The Ready, Radiant Repairmen of last fall found themselves offering comfort, shelter and advice to harassed and bewildered Spaceships. ? Intellectual pursuits occupied much of their time, for the interpretation of St. Paul’s teachings on the interior life presented no small problem, while the familiar proposition that beings exist” confronted them with new and ever more puzzling ramifications. While it seemed that there would never be an end to outside reading and term papers, panels and quizzes, the Juniors regularly managed to dig themselves out from under the pile of work in order to uphold their reputation for gaiety and good spirits. In February, a Valentine Party was in order for the Freshmen. But, as their biggest project, the Juniors dutifully went to work on the 19 5 5 Tower. Cameras flashed at unexpected moments to the dismay of the surprised victims, and the business staff contrived to approach prospective contributors at the psychological moment. The Toiver office was the scene of frequent midnight meetings as the literary intelligentsia, Thesaurus in hand, struggled with the intricacies of English expression, or frantically typed to meet a morning deadline. In May the Juniors undertook their final production, the Prophecies, which were presented to the Seniors with mixed emotions shortly before Commence¬ ment. Facing the responsibilities of Senior year, the Class of ’5 6 is confident, for the inspiration and guidance furnished by Mother Farley during their first two years, and lovingly provided by Mother Bourneuf this year, have prepared them well for the tasks that lie ahead. 113 • w j F M |S1 KATHLEEN O’BRIEN, Pres¬ ident; JANE MATHIEU, Jun¬ ior Representative ; ANNABET, O’CONNOR, Vice-President JUNIOR CLASS COUNCIL First Row: S.

Our Third Man Kitsy capers 117 118 SOPHOMORES r he Sophomores returned to Purchase this fall as veterans, happy to be free from chairs and orientation. As they took up residence in the Cottage, Deerfield, and Founders’, they quickly established a tradition of hospitality and fun that has made the Deerfield kitchen and the Cottage lounge the scene of many successful parties. Despite being geographically” separated, the class has progressed in both unity and spirit with Carole Sylvia, Bobbie, and Mary Kay to lead them. On September 21st, the Freshmen, seeking safety in numbers, gazed apprehensively at the Sophomore arrival. Hazing finally began, as the Scintil¬ lating, Sophisticated Saturnites, under the command of Mary Ann Coleman and Elena English, put the Spoiled, Spinster Spaceships into hyperdrive and admon¬ ished them to vanish to the fourth dimension. When the latter had at last successfully managed to break through the sound barrier, they were rewarded with an inter-stellar party. For the first time, Saturday classes were not inevitable, and after a certain amount of juggling, the more fortunate joyfully contemplated free weekends. No longer did the entire class wage the Napoleonic wars together, or journey with Miss Cave through the moors to Grendel’s lair. However, a new challenge presented itself, as Christian Morality proved a pitfall for the unwary. In February, the Seniors began lurking in the general vicinity of the Pius X Hall to hear, if possible, melodious fragments of the Serenades. With Margo Black and Joan Gannon in charge, the Sophomores worked tirelessly, polishing this offering to their sister class. This year with Mother Clark’s understanding guidance and support, the Sophomores have shown an increasing willingness to be of service, and have proved themselves more than worthy of their future status as upperclassmen. 119 ROBERTA GUZZETTA, Sophomore Representative; SYLVIA QUARLES, Vice-President; CAROLE NERI, President SOPHOMORE CLASS COUNCIL First Row: J.

Up the road a piece 123 FRESHMEN {T espite the slight drizzle that hovered over Manhattanville on September J ' 16, 19 54, the Freshmen arrived, hale, hearty, and 160 strong! Having conquered the barrage of assemblies, tests, and guided tours that every Orienta¬ tion period presents, they crowned the events of the week with a hilarious rendition of The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter”. By the time the rest of the college returned, they had proved to their Junior sisters that Manhattanville had gained 160 high-spirited and loyal Freshmen. They hardly had time to catch their breath before the hazing season was upon them, and Spoiled, Spinster Spaceships were ably guided across the campus by an austere squadron of Scintillating, Sophisticated Saturnites. With amazing rapidity, the Freshmen shed their exhaust pipes, regained their composure, and produced an entertaining performance of The Wizard of Oz for the entire college. This ability to unite themselves and carry through any project set before them has been an outstanding characteristic of the Class of ’5 8. November marked the beginning of hurried lunches and frenzied one o’clock meetings. In quick progression, they elected Taddy, Barbara, Diana and Cecy, and they have continued to support their choice of officers loyally throughout the year. As soon as the class exhibited their willingness to accept responsibility, the first floor of Founders’ burned brightly after 11:00 P. M. Shortly afterwards, they gained the much coveted privilege of the Saturday night V.L.P. on campus. However, the Freshmen continued to avail themselves of their privilege to serve as a committee of 160 in charge of chair moving—a task which they executed with efficient organization. The Class of ’5 8 have shown themselves ready to attempt anything from a cook-out for those who have courageously remained on campus over a long weekend to the rigors of a course in Christian Family Living. With Mother Hargrove ready to support their ideas with enthusiasm and encouragement, lending an experienced hand when it was needed, The Beloveds” have taken the ups and downs of Freshman year with even strides.

I count on you for that: no one must hold aloof.” r his charge of our Mother General we must not neglect, for we live in a world groping in the dark for the God it has rejected. To be an apostle demands a strong spiritual formation. It is this that the Sodality offers to its members. The Child of Mary of the Sacred Heart pledges hex ' self to strive for Christian perfection in imitation of Our Lady and in accordance with the rule of the congregation so that, firmly rooted in the habits of faith and prayer herself, she may better be able to make known to the world the infinite love of the Sacred Heart. The members of the Sodality know that only by consciously extending their love to those around them can they realize their union with all men in the Mystical Body of Christ. 131 First Row: B.

Student government NANCY SHEA President r he function of Student Government is not the work of a small group of law-makers, but rather of 470 individuals acting as a corporate self-ruling body. True education is not confined strictly to the classroom, but also consists in learning where our responsibilities lie and how to face them. This year we have come to realize more than ever that each regulation set before us has a specific, reasonable intent. With the assistance of Mother Dowd, the moderator, the twelve officers have pointed out to the individual student her own role as a participant in the activities of Student Government. As a result of their efforts, a nightly one o’clock study permission has been given to Seniors, a Friday night V.L.P to the upperclassmen, and an efficient announcement system has been inaugurated. Action follows from knowledge, and Nancy has brought us to a closer understanding of the principles by which we govern ourselves. 132 Welfare E. WEISER Chairman amily spirit is the ideal of group living at Manhattanville. To the v Welfare Committee, which includes members of the Faculty and works through the class councils, falls the responsibility of fostering this spirit of charity and courtesy by establishing the social standards to be observed. This year the committee was enlarged so as to be more representative of student opinion and many notable changes occurred. A sense of propriety” became the guide with regard to dinner dress; and at last boys were found in the midst of lounge discussions and song fests. With a view to the future, the censure list and the point system were re-evaluated and the aims of all college clubs published for the benefit of incoming freshmen. Under Liz’s leadership, the Welfare Committee has succeeded in awakening in the individual a sense of personal responsibility to the whole. Seated: N. Shea, V. MacLellan, M. A. Suits, E.

McKay. r he influence of the Catholic layman working for Truth in a world that is fast losing con¬ tact with that Truth is a force which cannot be treated lightly. Thus there is, and must be, a great deal of emphasis upon Catholic Action today. How can one voice, one mind, or one pair of hands ever accomplish anything amid the noise and confusion which characterizes contemporary society? Here at Manhattanville, there are many J. Sullivan, Chairman; M. FitzGerald, G. Galamb, opportunities for each student to answer that question with action. Under the guidance of Mother Hargrove, the CATHOLIC ACTION COUNCIL unifies and organizes the various fields of this activity. Composed of representatives from each class and Catholic Action group, this council is only a co-ordinating body and would be mean¬ ingless without the cooperation of the entire college. The Council, headed by Mary Jane Sulli- ACTION van, meets weekly to discuss problems and suggest improvements which concern Catholic Action. One of its chief aims is to make Catholic Action real and vital by emphasizing the importance of each individual working to give the truth to another. In order for these various groups on campus to function effectively, they need to have adequate financial support. Through the efforts of the representatives to CATHOLIC ACTION FI¬ NANCIAL, under the chairmanship of Jean Mad¬ den, funds are collected and used where most needed all over the globe. A donation made an¬ nually by the students has a twofold purpose: it is a lesson in sacrifice, and a hand stretched out to give to a mission in the East, in Europe, in America, or to the needy right around us. Through Catholic Action Financial we collect the food parcels and gifts which make a Christmas for the underprivileged in the White Plains area.

An aspect of Catholic Action w hich is at once world-wide and personal is N.S.A., the National Student Association. This organization is a living proof that the so-called Younger Generation” can be powerful leaders in their own right. Repre¬ sentatives from colleges all over the United States meet to discuss student problems, especially in relation to world affairs in general. Delegates from Manhattanville and other Catholic colleges have the challenging task of presenting the Catholic viewpoint to listeners ignorant of it, or unfriendly towards it. N.S.A. also works to acquaint foreign students with American education. This year, Manhattanville played host to a group of Latin American students and to two Indonesian students who had recently been exposed to Communist influence. Ann Wall and Mimi Feltes were dele¬ gates at the annual N.S.A. Congress held in Ames, Iowa this past August. A decisive stand was taken on the question of segregation and the non-recog¬ nition of a Communist student organization. N.S.A. o ffers challenging cultural and educational opportunities and introduces the student to world¬ wide fields of activity, while remaining an active M S. J. C. Lengyel, M. P. Johnston, M.

N.F.C.C.S., the National Federation of Catholic College Students, is an organization which strengthens Catholic Action among Catholics—a requisite before Catholic Action can be spread to others. By developing concerted action through inter-collegiate harmony in prayer and work, N.F.C.C.S. prepares young Catholics to constitute a strong, unified, and purposeful force in the modern world. This year, under the direction of Joan Mahoney, Manhattanville has again taken an active part in this nationwide endeavor. Smaller organizations or commissions attack and carry out different programs of work. This year Man¬ hattanville holds the Regional Chairmanship on Interracial Justice, of which Ellen Dines is the college chairman. Other fields of N.F.C.C.S. work include forensics and literary affairs. A very practical aspect of Catholic Action is the Relief Committee. Their special work is to supply the poor with the necessities of life. Through the proceeds of the annual Bridge Tea, 137 Relief Committee First Row: C. M. Donovan, A. Mueller, V. Devereux, Chairman; S. Greeley, J. Mathieu. Second Row: A. Coughlin, N. Geiman, E. Sheridan, L. List. the Relief Committee does Catholic Action within our own walls by supporting the D. P. students here on campus. Under the chairmanship of Ginny Devereux, the RELIEF COMMITTEE again sent its annual contribution to the Catholic Students’ Federation for the support of European students. With its own garment district” on the ground floor of Founders’ Flail, Relief carries on a never- ending clothes drive for the poor. Almost every¬ thing proves useful to someone who has nothing; the Committee accepts and seeks anything wear¬ able, from an 1890 evening gown to a gymsuit that a graduating senior felt she would not need in the future. Aside from these committees and organizations, there are several clubs and groups w hich provide opportunities for Catholic Action on campus or in the neighborhood. The MISSION CLL1B has contacts with mis¬ sions in both hemispheres. Through correspondence, study, and talks with some of the missionaries, this club is able to give support where it is needed. The committee on INTERRACIAL ACTION plays a vital part in the work of N.F.C.C.S., and 138 this year sponsored a discussion on the current problem of prejudice. DISC, the Damman Inter¬ racial Study Club, is the research group that furnishes Interracial Action with needed material and information for their panels and discussions. CITIZENSHIP CLUB analyzes the role of the responsible citizen of the world of today. Thursday afternoons, the weekly sewing cir¬ cles” meet, and with the aid of needle, thread, and ingenuity, make altar linens, and produce dresses and toys for the poor. Every weekday, groups go out as nurses’ aides, catechism teachers, or to help in an orphanage or community center; others act as Girl Scout leaders. Materially speaking, a great deal is accomplished through the efforts of these Catholic Action groups. But far more important an accomplish¬ ment is the formation of an entire attitude and outlook—the habit of helping others. Catholic Action at Manhattanville is not a four year plan, it is a preparation for a lifetime of Christo-centric activity, the doing of tiny things that have tre¬ mendous significance.

If you like to act a little, sew a little, paint a little, and laugh a lot, this is the club for you. Under the expert direction of Miss Jaffer and Mother Fiske, these various talents have been advantageously organized in the presentation of many a successful production. This year was no exception. With the help of Lise’s foresighted leadership and Thespian ability, Dramatic Club reached a new height with the Fall presentation of The Madwoman of Chaillot”, which as far as we are concerned was as great a success as its Broadway prede¬ cessor. Spring term brought us Christopher Columbus”, which was received by the college with equal enthusiasm. No matter what the play, however, talent, ingenuity and energy both on the stage and behind the scenes are always the keynotes of any Little Theatre” offering. DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS 142 Standing: D.

Under the chairmanship of Kay Mullan and the guidance of Mother Parton, the club sponsored the inter-class debates in which the Juniors emerged victorious for the third consecutive year. In the spring, the club ran a fictitious but heated political campaign. Every step of the way from the nominating convention to the actual election of the President, the rivalry and determination of the opposed parties created a strong atmosphere of reality. Between campaigning, club members engaged in a lively season of intramural competition on the topic, Resolved: that the present program of farm price supports is beneficial to the farmer.” No matter who won, the weekly battle of wits was always spirited. 144 freshman Jorum a ver the hill and up the stairs to Pius X Hall we go . .

Added attractions this year were a night at Saks (Westchester Avenue!) and the successful recordings made of the concert at the college. Spring arrived and the Glee Club became involved in the romantic predicaments of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Ruddigore”. With Miss Cave teaching the true British tradition and Janet Leahan providing invaluable accompaniment, the operetta provided pleasure for all concerned.

Hew Uork _ Plus X Ckoir £ ince the move to Purchase in 195 2, the Pius X Choir, which was founded ✓ more than thirty years ago at the old Manhattanville and has continued to exist as a tradition of the Pius X School of Music, has been fused with the Madrigal Society. This year the name of the Choir has supplanted that of the Madrigals, and the combined group of thirty-six hand-picked members has added to its study of secular works an even more intensive study of sacred music from Gregorian Chant and Polyphony to the works of contemporary composers. To be a member of the Choir is a highly sought honor, but at the same time it is a serious responsibility, for while the group is composed of amateur performers it has a professional tradition to uphold. Masses, Benedictions 148 and Carols here at Purchase, as well as performances in Westchester, Albany and Rochester, attest its success in maintaining this standard. Seemingly endless hours of painstaking rehearsals often snatched from the odd moments of college life are the price of membership, but these have their own reward: the Choir members take pride in their organization and enjoy singing together. Perhaps it is the close union in which they work with Mother Morgan, Elaine and each other that gives them their oneness of purpose, loyal spirit and willingness to sing for the college and for God.

As the governing body of College Council, its function as stated in the preamble of the Constitution is to achieve a closer unity within the college by a support of existing college institutions.” With Kathy Bender as chairman, the Steering Committee brought about several innovations this year. Perhaps the most popular of these was the addition of a V.L.P. on Friday night—a proposition which, needless to say, aroused little opposition and was joyfully and unanimously passed by the student body. A vital part of College Council, the Steering Committee exists for the purpose of coordinating our activities, expressing our opinions through elected representatives, and thus, fostering a fuller realization of the aims of college life. 150 Jntemational Club A.

English Club r his year the English Club members had the modern American short story as their theme and Kate Crossley as their chief lady of letters”. Besides the usual discussions, the year was highlighted by a panel discussion on oppor¬ tunities for future literary endeavors and a lecture by W. H. Auden. From the English Club, six members are elected to The Essay Board whose editor-in-chief this year was Anne Foley. While the English Club offers training for leadership of critical opinion, The Essay offers tomorrow’s author space for the products of a creative talent. The combination of the two organizations, both moder¬ ated” by Mother Williams, provides ample outlet for the eager student whether her talents lie in the written or the spoken word. THE CENTURION eadlines, proofreading and rewrites are necessary evils in any journalistic circle, but in some mysterious way they are forgotten as soon as the final product is ready for distribution. This accounts for the eagerness and enthusiasm with which Nora and The Centurion staff attack each new issue. This year the editorial staff was augmented by two Associate Editors, Weenie O’Keeffe and Mary Kay Johnson, who assisted in planning the layout of the paper. The work which this entails, from the distribution of the primary assignments to the finished sheet, was illustrated in The Centurion’s interesting and informative exhibit during National Education Week which showed us the inside workings of the eyes and ears of Manhattanville”.

Under Mother Morgan’s able supervision and with the tireless and ingenious efforts of its members the Prom Room took on a more festive air at least twice a month. A few weeks before Christmas, it was transformed into a Winter Wonderland” of silver and blue for our annual Snow Ball Prom. It was almost a case of the supply not quite fulfilling the demand, since it looked for a time as though even Manhat- tanville’s endless quantity of tables would be insufficient for the record numbers that arrived. Imbued with Mary Gara’s spontaneous warmth, the Dance Com¬ mittee has succeeded in making all the dances this year bright and memorable parts of college life. First Row: A. T. Burns, E. Flynn, C.

Under the co-chairmanship of Audrey Connell and Sue Flanagan, and with the advice of Mother Bourneuf, Manhattanville’s private ticket agency” welcomed all suggestions and willingly undertook to procure tickets to any entertainment whether opera or rodeo. Perhaps the uninitiated may wonder why so many representatives are needed, but a look behind the scenes reveals the answer. Into each Thursday night on the town” goes a vast amount of time consuming labor expended in such varied tasks as advertising, telephoning, arranging transportation, obtaining chaperones and compiling sign-out lists. In adapting itself to our wide range of preference, Frivolous Affairs has increased our appreciation of the cultural and enriched the lighter side of college life. 157 President ..M. A.

Friendly competition and outstanding good sportsmanship contributed to the notable success of the 1954 Hockey Squad. On the inter-class level, hard fought games left no doubt as to the ability of the Freshman class who triumphantly carried off the hockey cup. The need for an imaginative winter season has not lessened since the move to Purchase, but Miss McMullin and Miss McGann met the challenge with remarkable ingenuity. Gym classes provided everything from calisthenics and acrobatics to square dancing and choreography. For the more hardy, Friday night skating parties, complete with music, cocoa and bonfires, were organized on the new skating pond. With the coming of spring, Facrosse and Tennis Varsities began practice while Manhattanville’s minor league engaged in spirited inter-class competition.

Now We ' re reaching for the Moon And you of ’55 may see the opening of this new frontier. Like ’29 you will see many changes — good or bad, incredible or terrify¬ ing. You yourselves will change, as has the Class of ’29, BUT for you and ’29 and all the other classes one thing will remain immutable, the sure, firm basis for living which we have all re¬ ceived during our years at Manhattanville. For this we are ever grateful — with love, with interest, with support.
