Manhattanville College - Tower Yearbook (Purchase, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 220 of the 1956 volume:

COLLEGE ARCHIVES presented by THE JUNIOR CLASS e of the Junior Class owe the class of 1956 a special debt of grati- V ? tude. This is our “thank you” to them, for they have kept faith with those who went before; they are proof that, though the location of Manhattanville has changed, its ideals and character remain the same. Manhattanville is a place in which to learn and grow. It is a place to love. It will always be so, for it is not the setting but the spirit that makes the college. Therefore, we of Purchase are proud. This is our class in a very special way, the first to come completely from the new Manhattanville. They are inheritors of a tradition and models of the future, modern masterpieces —but with the prestige, technique, and greatness of the “old school.” the 1956 MANHATTANVILLE COLLEGE OF THE SACRED HEART _ PURCHASE • NEW YORK _ Mother Tenney DEDICATION This year Mother Tenney celebrated her Golden Jubilee, fifty years a professed religious of the Society of the Sacred Heart. In the years that have spanned the first half of the Twentieth Century she has known and loved two generations of Manhattanville graduates and helped instill in them the ideals of Christian life. As a Religious she has dedicated her life to Love. As a teacher she has communicated her own profound knowledge and insight into the study of History. As a woman she has been a “true Mother” to all of us, her “children.” With great affection and deepest appreciation of the countless ways she has served us all we dedicate this book to her.

Alexeieff Mrs. Woronoff 24 ; n Jane Barrett 1035 Park Avenue, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York, New York Major: History Anyone desiring a conversation replete with devastating bon mots” and sparkling witticisms may apply to Jane Barrett. You may have to travel as far as the American Embassy in Paris, but it will be well worth the trip. During the years that she graced Purchase with her presence, Jane contributed her time and energy to Glee Club, De¬ bating Club, and the pursuit of knowledge in the held of European History. Man- hattanville’s authority on yogi, interpretative dancing, and the futility of the Pelo¬ ponnesian Wars cannot but conquer the world of diplomacy or high fashion. 25 Barbara Elaine Basso 29 Brewster Terrace, New Rochelle, New York The Ursuline Academy, New Rochelle, New York Major: History Who has that professional touch with grease-paint and powder, which swiftly transforms your roommate into a bearded villian? Barbara has participated enthusi¬ astically in all Dramatic Club successes. Interest in the Arts has led her to active sup¬ port of the Opera. Thursday will find her, as Chairman of the Student Opera Com¬ mittee, marshaling other music lovers into Manhattanville’s box at the Met. Bar¬ bara’s charm and personality enliven any gathering, whether it be on or off campus. 26 Nereida Benito 64 S. Ashford Street, Guayama, Puerto Rico San Antonio High School, Guayama, Puerto Rico Major: Biology Nereida’s flashing eyes bespeak the charm of her native Puerto Rico. Her Spanish air and nimble tongue have enriched all the gay doings of the International Club, and her precise mind has been equally adroit in advancing the “mad” experiments of the Science Club. Always willing to converse gaily over a cigarette or to help you find just the right thing to wear on Saturday night, Nereida has brought to Purchase the true Spanish vivacity. Speaking for all Manhattanville le queretnos el mas. 27 Marianne Bernabo 650 James Street, Pelham Manor, New York Academy of Mount Saint Ursula, New York, New York Major: English Marianne has a capacity for fun that far exceeds her size. A commuter on the roads between Pelham and Purchase, she is frequently seen whizzing around the campus with a taxi-like adeptness at the wheel, and a maroon and white Harvard scarf flying in the breeze. For four years, Marianne has been active in Glee Club, Class Council, and recently an exuberant and stalwart day-hop representative to Welfare. She has combined idealistic views with a practical purpose. Into the twenty-four hours of a day, Marianne crowds an amazing number of activities, assuring us that her future will never be dull. 28 Suzanne Bourgeois 700 Andover Street, Lowell, Massachusetts Notre Dame Academy, Tyngsboro, Massachusetts Major: Political Science New England’s gift to Manhattanville, Sue, with her Boston accent, is famous in the College’s financial circles. She can always be counted on to ' ‘balance the books” of the Class Treasury and the Catholic Action Financial Committee. Her voice has been heard not only at Glee Club concerts, but through constructive suggestions at College Council meetings. Sue’s laughter and bubbling personality have inspired many bright moments in the Senior Sanctum, The Cottage. Her capacity for scholastic achieve¬ ment and natural buoyancy have been and will be exercised in many fields. 29 Catherine Brancatelia 134 West 29th Street, Bayonne, New Jersey Academy of St. Aloysius, Jersey City, New Jersey Major: Music Who is always ready, willing and able to do or help in any way? Who loves music, window-shopping or just plain talking? Who is famous throughout Purchase for her Italian dinners? The answer, of course, can only be Cathy. Glee Club and International Club are her favorite organizations, but anything and everything interests her. Men¬ tion music and she is there, asking you to hear a new record or an old song. Gay, friendly, full of interest, Cathy will be remembered with pleasure by everyone at Manhattanville. 30 Beatrix Brandi-Dohrn Prinz Georg-Strasse, Dusseldorf 83, Germany Goetheschule I, Dusseldorf, Germany M.ajor: English To Beatrix, the world holds the endless adventures and fascination to be found in a book. It only took Beatrix one year to achieve the honor of membership in the Brownson Honor Society. Although her primary interests are scholastic, her scope seems boundless. With equanimity she can expound on politics, music and art. Whether she is chuckling over a letter with a German postmark or asking Miss Cave an erudite question, it is obvious that she possesses the qualities of a real person and a great scholar. 31 Barbara Brine 16 Pickwick Road, West Newton, Massachusetts Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Major: English Kindness enlivened by a very piquant personality characterizes Bebe. Her vitality and spirit have sparked activities from Senior class hockey victories and Glee Club to the more social aspects of Frivolous Affairs. Her subtle sense of humor and unabashed frankness have made her friendship valued both here at Manhattanville and in her native Boston. The love and generosity which are so much a part of Bebe’s outlook have made her stay here memorable for all of us. 32 Margery Arm. Brown C o Colonel T.T. Brown, Giessen QM Depot, APO 169, C o P.M., New York, New York Highland Falls High School, Highland Falls, New York Major: Mathematics When Margie joins a group you can be sure that no dull moments will ensue. She combines a dynamic sense of humor with a “gift of gab” which always ensures her a responsive audience. Her hilarious imitations have made themselves evident on the athletic field as well as on the stage of the “Little Theatre.” The Tower, Class Council, Welfare and the Athletic Association have benefited from her intelligence and un¬ quenchable spirit. Our cheers will follow Margie long after her laughter has left Manhattanville. 33 Alice Ther ' ese Burns, E. de M. 89 Fletcher Road, Belmont, Massachusetts Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Major: Voice There is about A.T. a poised self-assurance which enables her to get along with anyone and meet any situation. Her interest in music has been directed, for the benefit of the entire college, to the Pius X Choir and the Glee Club. Known through the college as a singer who deserves top billing, A.T. has had leads in the operettas for the past two years. But her interest does not stop here, for A.T. has devoted endless hours to the Dance Committee, Mission Club, and Interracial Club. She has sung her way into our hearts, where she will long remain. 34 Mary Ruth Burns, E. de M. 160 Deerhurst Boulevard, Kenmore, New York Saint Mary’s Seminary, Buffalo, New York Major: History A swirl of blond hair, a deep voice, a gamin wit and there she is, Missy. Ever willing and able to make a Manhattanville party go,” she has been an indispensable asset to the Dance Committee, and an unfailingly charming companion. Missy’s readiness to defend the Irish to her last breath, or expound the merits of obscure literary publications, only serves to illustrate the scope of her conversational adroit¬ ness. Frank, easy-going, always disarming, Missy is bound to be a “great” success. 35 Marilyn Drexel Bush 3341 Chope Place, Detroit, Michigan St. Leo High School, Detroit, Michigan Major Biology If you want a blood count, a frank opinion or a good laugh, see Marilyn. She is often seen at dusk making her way from the biology lab after long and dedicated hours. When she does find time to relax, it’s usually to read the current issue of Vogue or to take in a Broadway play. She gave her energy to the Dramatic Club, and did a marvelous job with her sound effects in “Kind Lady.” A pony-tail and a multi¬ colored ribbon collection are her trademarks. Marilyn will soon be a notable addition to the ranks of the medical profession. 36 Margaret Mary Canty, E. de M. 1126 Allessandrini Avenue, New Milford, New Jersey Father Young, S.J. Memorial, New Milford, New Jersey Major: Music Education Meg is the essence of femininity. She is pretty and petite, nimble with a needle, and a devotee of dancing. She has a big voice for such a tiny person and has combined intense love of singing with executive talent in her capacity as President of the Pius X Choir. Her real appreciation of liturgical music and its purpose have made her an invaluable advocate of the spirit of the Choir. Meg’s warmth and gaiety will make her an addition to any and all surroundings. 37 Jewelyn Carvalho 35 Kapiolani Street, Hilo, Hawaii St. Joseph’s High School, Hilo, Hawaii Major: Music Education Music will always play an important part in Julie’s life, as has been proved by her loyalty to the Glee Club and Pius X Choir. Although her dominant interest is music, she has found time for International Club and for anyone who needs a helping hand. Any mail today?’’ Even when Julie says no her smile has warmed the most dis¬ heartened souls in the Post Office. Julie has shared her gift of gaiety and enthusiasm with all of us and for this she will be long remembered. 38 Mary Casey 4 Noble Avenue, Westfield, Massachusetts St. Mary’s School, Westfield, Massachusetts Major: Economics A devotee of cars, crossword puzzles and ‘ ‘lounge life, ’ ’ Mary has enlivened Purchase throughout her four year stay. Sincerity and a dry wit are the characteristics of Man- hattanville’s “autocrat of the Bridge table.” Debating Club has served to sharpen her native talent for disputation and she somehow manages to convince all listeners that her theory is the correct one. Life is a challenge, and Mary is fully equipped to meet and conquer all its obstacles. 39 Charlotte Mary Cassidy 191 Woodruff Avenue, Watertown, Connecticut Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Major: French Be it swimming, sailing, skiing or acting—from start to finish Charlotte is armed with a reserve supply of enthusiasm. As President of the Dramatic Club, she has made the Little Theatre her second home. Who could forget her portrayal of the hilarious but half-witted Aggie in “Kind Lady?” In another sphere, Charlotte’s financial wizardry has helped to keep the Centurion in the black. A calm nature, a love of ex¬ citement, thoughtfulness and an infectious laugh—all typify Charlotte. 40 Suzanne Castellini 2980 Erie Avenue, Cincinnati 8, Ohio School of the Brown County Ursulines, Cincinnati, Ohio Major: English Famed for her deep voice and Cincinnati twang. Sue is as essential to a party as hors d’oeuvres. Although she states that work is one of her pet peeves, her untiring efforts in Catholic Action and N.S.A. prove this a fallacy. She has used her vocal talents not only for Madrigals, but also for well defined ideas in International Club. With her background of extensive travels from Rome to Mexico City and her ambition to be a proficient secretary, Manhattanville recommends Sue to Temple Fielding, the noted author of travel guides. 41 Gladys Cibeu 222-26 93rd Avenue, Queens Village 28, New York Assumption Academy, Nicolet, Province of Quebec, Canada Major: French and History If you like sailing, dancing, or just a quiet drive along the ocean with the radio tuned in to good” music (and who doesn’t), you like Gladys. She is a diplomat par excellence , a versatile good neighbor who enjoys movies and modern literature, window-shopping, and grand opera, but, above all, people. Glee Club and Interna¬ tional Club will always remember the delightful voice and sparkling wit that bright¬ ened their meetings for four years. But her smile, her quick laugh, her sincerity—these are memories common to all Manhattanvillans. 42 Janet Collins 3507 90th Street, Jackson Heights, New York The Mary Louis Academy, Long Island, New York Major: Music Education Looking for Janet? Better head for the Music Building, for she is undoubtedly at a Glee Club rehearsal or listening to records. Her great love in life, singing, will prob¬ ably endure, for after Manhattanville bids her a fond farewell, she will be waving the baton in a classroom, teaching a group of little angels how to lift their voices in wondrous song, or at least “do, re, mi’’! Although she is not one of our lovers of the great outdoors, Janet is partial to a leisurely walk through town; or what would be even better, a sight-seeing tour in some far-away region, for traveling is something to which Janet intends to devote a great deal of time. 43 Jane Corcoran 26 Nylan Road, Brockton, Massachusetts Brockton High School, Brockton, Massachusetts Major: English An avid enthusiasm for football games and eager participation in a few sets of tennis mark Jane as a congenial Manhattanv ille collegian. Yet she assumes a quiet, unhurried manner in her serious approach to the study of Grahame Greene and in her devotion to Mission Club. Jauntily attired in casual tweeds and monogrammed Brooks Brothers’ shirts, Jane is liable to be seen rushing through White Plains or relaxing at the Cape. Her cheerful outlook on life and her gracious manner will be missed on the heights.’’ 44 Mary Elizabeth Corcoran 251 Nelson Road, Scarsdale, New York Saint Gabriel High School, New Rochelle, New York Major: Economics Traveling daily to and from Scarsdale has not prevented Mary Elizabeth from be¬ coming a well known and loved member of the Class of ’56. Her special interest in Glee Club, fortunately for us, has kept her on campus every Tuesday night. Mary Elizabeth has a true understanding of the spirit of Manhattanville and as a day stu¬ dent has used her opportunity to convey to others what it has given to her. Whether she goes on to statistical research as a result of her Economics major, or makes her career in some new held, Mary Elizabeth will be a success. 45 Elizabeth. Corrigan 41 Stadium Road, Providence, Rhode Island Convent of the Sacred Heart, Providence, Rhode Island Major: Biology Relaxed charm, ability with people and infectious humor, make Betty an excellent companion or debater. If you like to chat into the “wee small hours” of the morning or to browse in the lush confines of Saks Fifth Avenue, she is the girl to contact. Known around Purchase for her loyalty and unselfishness, she has proved to be more than adept in all fields of activity. Her definitive ideas have been shared advantage¬ ously through her work on Centurion and in Science Club. Betty will continue to score successes in Biology or in any other field of endeavor. 46 Joan Crowley 115 Greenaway Road, Eggertsville, New York Saint Mary’s Seminary, Eggertsville, New York Major: Psychology When it comes to knitting, Joan seems determined to rival even Mother O’Byrne. She’s rarely without those argyles, but somehow Joan manages to make Centurion deadlines and delve into the intricacies of the “id” in Psych lab. Not only has Joan been the financial “whiz” of the Inter-Class Treasury this year, but she has also gained quite a reputation as Manhattanville’s favorite exterminator of rodents. The devotees of “coffee-time in the Cottage’’ won’t forget Joan, and neither will we, for as anyone can tell you, she’s a “great girl!” 47 Katherine Cunningham 7904 Curtis Street, Chevy Chase, Maryland Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Major: History A close-cropped cap of shining dark hair, a special flair for fashions and a devotion to Dramatic Club-all characterize our Kitsy. Throughout her college career, she has displayed a love of friendly people, fun” times and unusual escapades for which she will be long remembered. Kitsy has a passion for shoes, a habit of rising early and a strong interest in travel. To all who have been lucky to know her, Kitsy has demonstrated the happy combination of thoughtfulness and vivacity. 48 Donna Cusolito 750 East Avenue, Rochester, New York Jeanne d’Arc Academy, Milton, Massachusetts Major: Practical Art A throaty whisper, a jangle of bracelets—Donna’s arrived. Her voice has intrigued us, but even more has the whimsical sense of humor that shortened those long after¬ noons in the Art Lab. Even Donna’s dreams must be creative, for how else could she find time to devise those eye-catching posters! Donna will be a much-missed member of Dramatic Club next year, not only because of her knack for making cheese-cloth look like gold, but most of all because of her entrancing ability to get things done in that wonderfully relaxed fashion! 49 Sheila Delaney, E. de M. U.S.C.A.R. Legal Section, APO 331, San Francisco, California International Academy of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo Major: English Sheila is known as an active member of innumerable clubs. Her extensive knowledge of current affairs, cosmopolitan views, and unusually apt literary expression intrigue us as an unusual combination. Interesting because of her own wide interests, Sheila is not limited to campus activities. Settle down with her for a chat in the Snack Bar. You will be amused by stories ranging from the latest doings of the Inter¬ national Club to the most recent critical opinions of Ezra Pound. 30 Ellen Theresa Dines 1129 Gerard Street, N.W., Washington 9, D.C. Dunbar High School, Washington, D.C. Major: Music and Psychology Ellen’s main interest is other people. This is exemplified in her choice of a major, her love of children and her desire to teach. She has devoted much of her time to Interracial Justice and, as President of the Committee, has shown great organiza¬ tional and intellectual ability. Her talents also include music; Ellen’s voice has en¬ hanced Choir and Glee Clubs for four years. Asher constant cheerfulness explains her popularity, her quiet efficiency will insure her success. 51 Angela Dondero, E. de M. 5602 42nd Avenue, Hyattsville, Maryland Georgetown Visitation Convent, Washington, D.C. Major: Piano Angie is Manhattanville’s own happy blend of talent, good humor, and loyalty. She has not only given gladly to Glee Club and Pius X Choir, serving as accom¬ panist and Business Manager, but has also cheerfully joined classmates and friends to make successes of the Freshman Operetta, Serenades, and innumerable informal skits. How Angie found time to serve the Class, College, and E. de M. Councils we will never know. We are sure, however, of the value of her contributions to these, and to every part of Manhattanville life. 52 Sally Arm Ekenberg 283 Oakwood Avenue, Cedarhurst, New York The Mary Louis Academy, Long Island, New York Major: Music History Sally has made the Music Building her second home. No phase of campus musical activities has escaped her as demonstrated by her interest in the Pius X Choir, the Glee Club and the Serenades. Sally’s vocabulary, which has been summed up as “that long,” makes her an indispensable aid in the solution of crossword puzzles and in conversational intricacies. She has been known to “follow the stars” on summer nights from the vantage point of Harvard Square. Sally’s undeniable talents in all fields will bring her recognition in future years. 53 Mary Feltes |267 Ridge Avenue, Winnetka, Illinois New Trier High School, Winnetka, Illinois Major: English Mimi has never been known to bore an audience. Her N.S. A. activities have helped to advertise the best, both in herself, and in her College. No one has ever thought New York so “great” as Mimi; no one has ever defended her views so vehemently or with such success. An executive par excellence , her casual assurance and c alm effi¬ ciency have won our trust, and her ready laugh and friendliness have won our love. We wish her a “terrific’’ future. 54 Mary Ellen Fitzgerald 14 Randolph Avenue, Waterbury, Connecticut Lauralton Hall, Milford, Connecticut Major: Mathematics and Physics Anything that most people find difficult, time-consuming, and highly responsible is merely a challenge to Mel. She blends lovable wit with unassuming intelligence, producing qualities which have made her a leader in every field of campus activity. Chairman of Serenades, Editor of The Tower, President of Citizenship Club—these titles are indicative of Mel’s phenomenal range of abilities. The field of nuclear physics cannot but benefit from the mental capacities that Mel has displayed at Manhattanville. 55 Mary Fay Fitz Simons, E. de M. 66 Stephens Road, Grosse Pointe 36, Michigan Convent of the Sacred Heart, Grosse Pointe, Michigan Major: History There are few at Manhattanville who have not been affected by Fay’s warmth and vitality. Her unflagging optimism and spontaneity are indications of the zest she has brought to all campus activities. She has lent her support alike to the “Thumping Thirds” of the Glee Club and the more prosaic details of the Athletic Association. Fay’s cosmopolitan air and gracious manner are but two of the winning character¬ istics which have endeared her as Detroit’s capable ambassadress of friendship. 56 Barbara Ann Francis, E. de M. South Street, Marion, Massachusetts Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Major: English Put subtle humor behind a classical expression, add a dash of reserve and a generous amount of thoughtfulness, and you’ll find you’ve created another Barbara Francis. For four years, Barbie has sparked every activity of the Class of ’56, and, with unfailing good sense, has seen each to a triumphant conclusion. Serenades, The Tower, English Club ... all bear the Francis trademark. It is Barbie’s under- lying generosity which has motivated and embodied the innumerable contributions which each of us will miss in the future. 57 Maria Isabel Frau, E. de M. P.O. Box 65, Utuado, Puerto Rico Academy of the Sacred Heart, Puerto Rico Major: French Maria is a mixture of good humor and good sense. Her ability to bring something new and valuable with her everywhere she goes has been a vital stimulus at Man- hattanville, particularly in the Dramatic Club. Her Latin mirth and outbursts of spontaneous humor enliven every group. A consistently friendly person, Maria has wit and whimsy coupled with a generosity and sincerity of heart that endear her to everyone. With her reserve supply of enthusiasm, she has had no trouble winning friends and influencing people in two countries. 58 Mary Patricia Geating, E. de M. 5316 Woodlawn Avenue, Chevy Chase 15, Maryland Convent of the Sacred Heart, Stone Ridge, Washington, D.C. Major: Psychology Anyone having some free time on her hands can apply to Patsy for information concerning the art of child psychology, or the best rigging” to use on a Zip. The erudite discussions of English Club and the avant” policies of the Essay are made more zestful by the simple fact of Patsy’s presence and influence. The extent of her on campus activities would make an impressive list under her name, which only demonstrates the quality which she so obviously possesses—generosity. 59 Ruth. Ann Gimbernat Wolver Hollow Road, Oyster Bay, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York, New York Major: English Shining blond locks, smiling blue eyes and a leisurely air . . . that’s Ruth Ann. These undeniable assets place her in demand here at Purchase and in the more sophis¬ ticated “boites” of New York. Ruth Ann’s “gift of gab has stood her in good stead in all Debating Club argumentations as well as at Bridge Room chatter. Whatever Ruth Ann decides to do in the future, we can be assured that it will be accomplished with grace and “savoir-faire.” 60 Gertrude Ann Gleeson 2 Willets Lane, Plandome, Long Island, New York Dominican Academy, New York, New York Major: English A certain contagious spirit of “good will’ ' characterizes Ahnee’s every action, whether she be engrossed in Frivolous Affairs or in the Centurion. Many an article and headline have been shaped by her “journalistic” touch. No one can miss her effi¬ ciency, heightened by her genuine interest in people. A readiness to help whenever needed and a knack for conviviality are Ahnee’s special traits, which all of us will nnss around Purchase in the coming year. 61 I Marietta de Gosztonyi, E. de M. Chateauguay Heights, P. Q., Canada Convent of the Sacred Heart, Albany, New York Major: Economics To describe Marietta, just mention charm, personality and unusually attractive blue eyes. Enthusiasm and perseverance are also among her trademarks, as faithfulness to Glee Club and her indispensable participation in A.A. testify. Most important, her insight into people and events, and her penetrating judgment of values are a happy complement to her unique sense of humor. Before long, Marietta’s infectious laughter will be bringing as much gaiety to the lives of Montreal’s bankers as it always has to us at Manhattanville. 62 Sally Vose Greeley 315 East 68th Street, New York 21, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York, New York Major: English Although an English major, Sally has been at heart a true economist during her college career. How else could she have managed so efficiently and effectively as Financial Editor of The Essay? Membership in the English Club and a place on the Essay Staff reflect her literary tendencies, however, and Sally’s expressed desire for post-collegiate activities includes some connection with the field of pub¬ lications. We can easily picture our chic and sociable Sally as a Fashion Editor or Foreign Correspondent. In short, we can see her as a success in her chosen held. 63 Carmen Guijarro , E. de M. Avenida De Ashford No. 1119, Santurce, Puerto Rico Coligio del Sagrado Corazon, Santurce, Puerto Rico Major: English Carmen’s shy smile and hearty laugh enliven any gathering, classes not excluded. Everyone loves talking to her, but it is difficult to find her not immersed in the details of English, International, or Mission Clubs. You can settle, however, for reading her stories (in Spanish or English) which perfectly reflect her extensive knowledge and penetrating grasp of people, places, and, last but not least, the arts. Who among us will not miss her happy balance of humor and pure goodness? 64 Theresa Haggerty 44 East 67th Street, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York, New York Major: History By her own admission a dabbler in the arts, a lover of French cinema, and of skat¬ ing, Treet has beguiled us all. Active in English and Glee Clubs, she has enlivened these proceedings with her tongue in cheek humor. The future could easily find her exploring Tibet or sipping tea in Hong Kong. With her red plaid coat, her famed New York hospitality, and diversity in her major field, Treet is a figure to be missed in the environs of Purchase. 65 Betty Haight Horseshoe Farm, Bedford Hills, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Major. ' Mathematics Betty is Manhattanville’s claim to fame in the equestrian held. This petite blond has graced many horse shows, and has participated equally well in campus activities, among them, Glee Club and Catholic Action Financial Committee. A whiz at mathe¬ matical computations, she has added many friends to an already long list. Her extensive travels from Hawaii to the Continent, have brought into play Betty’s own brand of penetrating observation and appreciation. 66 Ellen Hanley 360 Flagg Place, Dougan FIills, Staten Island No. 4, New York Notre Dame Academy, Staten Island, New York Major: English Ellen is the epitome of charm and graciousness. The girl with the bright smile, and the cameo face brings a lift into the dullest Staten Island Ferry ride. Her vacations and weekends are mighty events, to be planned for long in advance and discussed days afterwards before the roaring Cottage fire. Nothing is too small to catch her interest, nothing too large to intimidate her. There is no point in wishing Ellen success, for she has already found it in her “gift for living. 67 Joan Hickey, E. de M. 54 Allenton Road, Milton, Massachusetts Jeanne d’Arc Academy, Milton, Massachusetts Major: Political Theory Joan can always be found exploring the unusual, whether it be between the covers of The Netv Yorker, or in out-of-the-way book or antique stores. Her loves include everything from Nash and Eliot to a cosmopolitan dinner. Her ideas and strong opinions have been well voiced in Debating Club, of which she is Vice President. A defense of verse plays in a definite Boston accent would automatically bespeak her presence, and that presence presupposes a gay and interested group. Joan’s direct and honest mind, combined with her even disposition, will reduce her future problems. 68 Barbara Ann Hogan 4295 Oneida Avenue, New York, New York St. Barnabas High School, New York, New York Major: History Hogie ' s versatility amazes Seniors and Freshmen alike. Well versed in past events because of her History major, she is equally informed on current affairs. With great skill she defends her views and this vear with equal ability she headed the Debating Club. A good chat with Hogie during golf or over a hand of bridge is sure to provoke peals of laughter and result in a generally companionable time. Barbara can always be relied on for dynamic and expressive ideas. 69 Nancy Marie Hogan Field Point Road, Greenwich, Connecticut Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Major: English Nancy is one of the two “inseparable Hogans” on campus. Her demi-paradise is a place where people are quiet over the bridge table and sailing is a year round pastime. Whether taking jaunts in her orange car, or listening to opera, she is a wonderful companion. Her interests, however, run deeper, for she has generously given her time and gasoline to Catholic Action, and is an avid member of Citizenship Club. Love of excitement and gaiety have made Nancy popular with everyone, both on and off campus. 70 Henrietta Holton, E. de M. Pointsend,” Camden, Maine Academy of the Sacred Heart, Kenwood, New York Major: Art Education Everyone agrees that Muffy is an exceptional person. A girl of endless surprises, she is equally at home on a horse or in the sculpture studio. She is not a one-sided personality—religious, social and intellectual pursuits all occupy her time. Her in¬ terests range from Maine to Mesopotamia, from Catholic Action to Debating Club. One of the familiar sights on campus is Muffy dashing off in her blue Buick to prac¬ tice teach. She is a girl we will all miss, and one whose place will be difficult to fill. 71 Arm Howard, E. de M. 1213 Court Street, Utica, New York Whitesboro High School, Whitesboro, New York Major: Psychology Ann is Manhattanville’s favorite Broadway” character. There are few plays and movies which she has not seen and discussed thoroughly over coffee in the Snack Bar. Her particular trademarks—the color blue, Ireland, her efficient and friendly way of handling finances as Class Treasurer—have made her a distinctive campus figure. Her interest is exemplified by her choice of psychology as a major. With her orderly mind and sense of humor, she is sure to be a success and to have fun being one. 72 Mary Gay Huffard Wee Burn Lane, Darien, Connecticut Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Major: English Mary Gay’s gift of organization has sparked many class projects. In the harried rush to meet the Tower deadline, her calm efficiency in collecting the necessary funds made her an invaluable asset. Neither does she lack imagination which shone through her work in the Serenades, the artistic “bear” sketches of the yearbook and the more intellectual snackbar discussions of the current favorite, T.S. Eliot. This happy com¬ bination of originality, depth and intelligence makes Mary Gay a master of any situ¬ ation, and a delight to know. 73 Patricia Ann lx 250 Lincoln Street, Englewood, New Jersey Dwight School for Girls, Englewood, New Jersey Major: French Care to “parlez-vous,” find out about Nashua’s latest exploits, or discuss opera with someone in the know?—just call on Pat! Thursday nights find her at the Met, but afternoons she’s in the game room hoping for that ever-elusive grand-slam hand. The more stage-struck among us testify that Pat’s calm efficiency at the make-up table has cured many an aspiring thespian of pre-performance jitters. Her quick sparkle of laughter and well-rounded personality will be missed at Manhattanville. 74 Rosemary lx 215 Brookvale Road, Smoke Rise, New Jersey Academy of Mount Saint Vincent, Tuxedo Park, New York Major: Biology Congeniality in the Snack Bar, experimentation on her favorite frog in the Biology Lab—Rosie’s foremost interests are people and research. Her extensive European travels will lend a cosmopolitan air to her interior decorating skill, which she plan ' s to put to future use. Rosie’s sound sense of values which has permeated all of her campus relationships and activities cannot fail to stand her in good stead in the face of any challenge. 75 Frederica Joan Kane, E. de M. 139 East 79th Street, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York, New York Major: English A quiet voice, a gracious manner—and Rica’s unassuming leadership commands Manhattanville’s attention. As Chairman of the Welfare Committee, and of Class Council, she has given ideas both practical and appealing. Serenades, the Tower and Prophecies benefited greatly from her ingenious imagination, for she has a wealth of knowledge which is always at hand but never on display. Her power of sympathy and her sense of humor make her an invaluable friend, and one to whom it is hard to bid farewell. 76 Mary Joanne Kaufman 117 East Sedgwick Street, Philadelphia 19, Pennsylvania Academy of the Assumption, 3480 West School House Lane, Philadelphia 19, Pennsylvania Major: Psychology With a flair for fashion and frivolity, Mary Jo has devoted time and experience to campus obligations. An appreciative enthusiasm for opera and the theater aid her in her offices as Vice-President of the Dramatic Club and Co-Chairman of Frivolous Affairs. Mary Jo’s natural interest in people and what makes them tick” has proven her an able Psychology major. A calm acceptance of responsibility and a stimulating sense of humor will enrich any of Mary Jo’s undertakings. 77 Barbara Joy Kaul 4 Burchfield Avenue, Cranford, New Jersey Cranford High School, Cranford, New Jersey Major: Social Theory Pert, blonde B.J. has given time and talent to the Dramatic Club, and will leave a number of devoted fans. Her classmates know her also as a self-styled home economist, and like the best of sportswomen, she enjoys a good ride, swim, or the milder indoor game—bridge. Known to all as a figure of enduring energy and vitality, B.J. is likely to be anywhere on campus at any time. We know her talents and charm will offer her a wide choice of careers. 78 Leinaru Cecilia Kealoha 130 Wainakn Avenue, Hilo, Hawaii Saint Joseph High School, Hilo, Hawaii Major: Music Celia’s lilting soprano is the pride of the Glee Club and the Pius X Choir. Her repertoire includes everything from Gilbert and Sullivan to the soft songs of Hawaii. She has often entertained fellow members of the International Club with stories and dances from “The Island”. In spite of all these activities, Celia still somehow finds time to be champion seamstress and “best-dressed ’ ’ girl of Manhattanville. Her grace, her charm, her sincerity, her face suddenly breaking into the most infectious smile in the world—these things we will all remember and miss. 79 Virginia Kock, E. de At 2525 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana Louise S. McGehee School, New Orleans, Louisiana Major: Gregorian Chant For four years Ginny has been the heart and soul of all Manhattanville’s musical activities. Her devotion to the melodies of Chant and harmonies of Glee Club have made her a familiar figure on the path to and from the Music Building. As a Child of Mary she prays in song and her beautiful voice has helped to sustain many a Missa Cantata. Whether urging the Glee Club to the heights” or chatting casually in the lounge, Ginny always manages to convey the warmth and friendliness of New Orleans and Mardi Gras. 80 Nola Kortner 5314 Wendley Road, Baltimore 19, Maryland Notre Dame of Maryland Preparatory School Major: Voice Nola has been a constant habituee of the Music Building during her four years at Manhattanville. A great deal of talent, a genuine interest in people, and boundless friendliness and energy should make her singing career an outstanding success. An enthusiastic member of Madrigals and Glee Club, Nola is a familiar sight on the Manhattanville stage. Her days are crammed with activities, but Nola always dis¬ plays a willingness to share her time and talents with everyone. 81 Mary Jane Lagacy East Allendale Avenue, Saddle River, New Jersey School of the Holy Child, Suffern, New York Major: French The newest member of the class of ' 56 has lost no time in becoming a real part of both the class and the Cottage. Always poised and friendly, she is equally at home playing bridge, working on a French translation, or extolling the merits of Cape Cod. A sense of humor and genuine interest in people have endeared her to all of us at Manhattanville, and are assurances of the success we wish her. 82 Marianne Legato 417 Palisade Avenue, Cliffside Park, New Jersey Stevens Hoboken Academy, Hoboken, New Jersey Major: Chemistry Marianne’s concentrated originality, ability, and energy produce startling results, whether on the contents of a test tube or on the progress of her knitting. With her vital warmth, self-assurance, and varied interests, she is an asset to any gathering. She graced Debating Club with a subtle wit and a disarming smile, and her absence there will be more than evident. Marianne exhibits a determination and an effective¬ ness of action that will make her remembered wherever she goes, as she will be re¬ membered and missed at Manhattanville. 83 Jacqueline Lepore 5203 St. Albans Way, Baltimore 12, Maryland Roland Park Country School, Maryland Major: Piano One of the most well-traveled members of the Class of ’56, Jackie has a marked propensity for progressive jazz, balcony breakfasts, and a surplus of mail. She has lifted her voice in song and constructive comment, and thus we have all benefited from her stay here at Purchase. Her talents do not extend only to music and travel, although she is one of our most able masters of the keyboard. Jackie cannot but conquer any field which she chooses to enter. 84 Chi Li 512 West 183rd Street, New York 33, New York Marymount High School, New York City, New York Major: Physics Chi may be barely five feet, but everyone stops, looks, and listens when she makes one of her renowned philosophical comments. It hardly seems possible that such a tiny person could delve so deeply into the realms of physics, but the Science Club will avow Chi’s prowess. Chi is a distinguished member of that erudite group, the Brownson Honor Society, but her love of ping-pong and the funnies endeared her to those of us who plod in lesser climes! All of us will miss Manhattanville’s own Confucius! 85 Lucille List Nutmeg Lane, Westport, Connecticut Staples High School, Westport, Connecticut Major: Music Theory Lu is probably one of the few jazz-loving organists in existence. A fan of Frank Sinatra and Alexander Graham Bell, she can usually be found in the Music Building, on the highway, or scooting off to Dartmouth for a gay weekend. Her disposition is remarkable—she’s always gay—and her penchant for mail has become famous throughout Purchase. Whatever she decides to do—whether to advertise men’s hats or continue her musical career—hers will be an unqualified success. 86 Renee Frances Lynch. 235 Pennsylvania Avenue, El Paso, Texas Loretto Academy, El Paso, Texas Major: Practical Art A swirl of crinolined skirts, an upswept hair-do and a dramatic flair typify Renee. One immediately realizes that generosity and sincerity are her special trademarks. The quick sense of humor which so often entertained us, and her knack for getting to know people reveal Renee’s zest for life. Thursday evenings have become a must because of her many good suggestions for Frivolous Affairs. Although Texas claims to be the biggest, we believe that Renee possesses a heart twice as large. 37 Virginia MacLellan, E. de M. 87 Gray Field Avenue, West Roxbury 32, Massachusetts Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, Newton, Massachusetts Major: Mathematics Nothing brightens a gloomy day so much as Vir’s smile. She has a wonderful ability to lead with gentleness and to inspire by her example. We’ll never understand how Vir managed to mix hockey squad, Debating Club, and the Pius X Choir with her outstanding work on Class Council and Welfare, but then . . . that’s Vir. We’ll remember her best, though, as President of the Children of Mary, for Vir has been a symbol of high ideals, followed unswervingly, but ever quietly and simply. 88 Adrienne Margaret Maguire 4370 Carpenter Avenue, New York 66, New York Academy of Mount St. Ursula, Bedford Park, New York Major: History A connoisseur of the Arts, Adrienne is a perfect product of a liberal arts education, for although her major is History, she is equally appreciative of ‘‘La Boheme,” Vermeer, and Chesterton. What will English Club be without Adrienne and her pene¬ trating opinions? Although she has risen to intellectual heights, she displays an amazing intuition of the feelings of the youngest child in her First Communion Class. This happy combination of mind and heart makes us envy Adrienne’s future pupils. 89 Janet McKay, E. de M. 1100 Park Avenue, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, 91st Street, New York, New York Major: English First, last and always Janet possesses all the qualities which constitute responsive friendliness. Her genuine interest in people coupled with perfect selflessness have en¬ deared her to us all. Although Class Council and Relief have taken much of her time, she has devoted many precious hours to the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Combining a pert loquaciousness with the rare gift of a good listener, she immedi¬ ately gives to others the same serenity and vitality typical of her own happiness. All of us have known, and therefore loved, Janet. 90 Carol Mahon 1015 Beach 25 Street, Far Rockaway, Long Island, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, 1 East 91st Street, New York Major: History Carol has provided Manhattanville with grace, good fashion, and her dramatic talents for four years. Her smooth brown “page-boy” and gay smile have bright¬ ened the pages of Mademoiselle and the dance floor of the Prom Room alike. Carol has the knack of combining frank wit with sincere interest in people which cannot fail to add sparkle to any future career. Whether travelling on the Continent or delving into the intricacies of Conde Nast publications, Carol is sure to bring to any experience her own zest and enthusiasm. 91 Jane Matkieu, E. de M. 2620 Lincoln Street, Evanston, Illinois Convent of the Sacred Heart, Sheridan Road, Chicago, Illinois Major: Psychology Jane’s quiet exterior, her black hair, and sweet smile mask a wealth of quick quips. Whether on the tennis courts or on the Stowe slopes, she is in her element. Her love for the dramatic never extends to a love for flamboyant discussion. A clear thinker herself, Jane uses a bit of her psychological talent to win others to her precise way of thinking. Efficient, sincere, and warm hearted, Jane has demonstrated the ideal qual¬ ities of a student-officer and a friend. 92 Valerie Mike 144-40 38th Avenue, Flushing, New York William C. Bryant High School, New York Major: Mathematics Genius and simplicity are successfully combined in Valerie, the pride of Manhattan- ville’s intellectual life. Highly spiritual and philosophical in the truest sense, her whole outlook is indicative of the keen mind which lies behind the serene face we all know. But it is her ever-present desire to help that has made her outstanding as a member of the International Club and the Interracial Club, and as a valuable member of the Manhattanville family. 93 Theresa Mirande 109-37 Francis Lewis Boulevard, Hollis, Long Island, New York Father Young Memorial High School, New York, New York Major: Music Education At Christmas Carols or in the Madrigal Concerts, Terry is the pride of the altos. She may be heard expounding the best, either in composition class, or in Cottage conversation. Her work in Mission and Glee Clubs has been an outlet for her bound¬ less energy and exuberant ability. Terry’s knack for getting to know people and thus seeing the finest in all, ensure for her fulfillment in all she attempts. 94 Martha Murphy 450 Riverside Drive, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, 1 East 91st Street, New York Major: Psychology Martha’s dimpled smile and vivacious manner are instantly disarming. Because of her logical mind, and warm oratorical ability, she has been a most formidable opponent at a debate, a champion of N.F.C.C.S., and a highly efficient chairman of College Council. Her name has been no stranger to Dean’s List. Brilliant and busy, she is always available for chats with friends or gay weekends. Martha is definitely a person who should be both seen and heard. 95 Rosemary Murphy 400 East 59th Street, New York, New York Saint Cecilia High School, Englewood, New Jersey Major: Psychology Murph, when sought after, can usually be found in the Snack Bar lending a cheerful ear to some tale of woe. Something about her seems to inspire confidence, and in return she trusts even the wildest of us with her chariot.” Her easily recognized laugh belies her serious side. She is a devotee of Thomas Merton, and, of course, a psychology major. We can rest assured that Murph’s career in speech therapy will bring laughter and hope to all her prospective pupils. 96 Barbara Mutb 18 Sunnyside Drive, Yonkers, New York Elizabeth Seton School, Yonkers 1, New York Major: English If a sympathetic understanding and a wealth of sweet sincerity are gathered into one small and pretty package, tied with the strong bond of friendship and trimmed with a love of fun, the result will be Barbara. Her tastes run from the frivolous in large and gooey desserts to the serious in classical music. She has taken an intense and active part in the Glee and International Clubs for four years. Her eagerness to do for others is equalled only by her charm in doing. 97 Kathleen Therese O ' Brien 20 Westwood Drive, Worcester 5, Massachusetts The Bancroft School, Worcester, Massachusetts Major: English Kathy is the epitome of womanliness. As president of the Student Body, she has been a shining example of all that we hope some day to be. We all respect Kathy, but above all we consider her our friend; someone with whom we can talk and laugh, someone who always finds time to listen and understand. Her energy is boundless. Her talents are unlimited. Her future is assured. There is no one at Manhattanville who does not love Kathy; there is no one here who wishes her anything less than the best. 98 Annabel O ' Connor 30 6th Street, Waterford, New York Emma Willard School, Troy, New York Major: Biology As Vice President of the class, Boodie has commanded the love and admiration of faculty and students alike. Her leadership, her leisurely air of graciousness, her genuine interest in all of us, embody the best of Manhattanville traditions. Paradox¬ ically (at least to us) Boodie is as much at home chloroforming fruit flies as she is presiding over a tea table. As a Class Council member and Student Government officer, Boodie has enriched in countless ways our life here at Purchase. 99 Ann Louise Paquet 105 Academy Road, Winnepeg, Canada Quebec High School, Quebec, Canada Major: Mathematics Ann is one of the most delightful envoys that Canada has ever sent to the United States. Her sympathy, kindness, and vivacity have made her welcome everywhere. Her interests range from ballet and jazz to riding and sailing. But her primary con¬ tribution to Manhattanville life has been her devotion to Dramatic Club, where her talented touch has been invaluable, both in acting and costuming. A happy pot¬ pourri of everything that is charming, Ann has made a thousand friends and we know she will keep them. 100 Louise Lockwood Parry 127 West Springfield Avenue, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Convent of the Sacred Heart, Torresdale, Pennsylvania Major: English Petite, attractive Louise, with her dark brown hair and gay smile, has been a charm¬ ing and stylish representative of the City of Brotherly Love. Partial to obscure restau¬ rants and southern gentlemen, she has been a happy addition to the Cottage and the Senior Class. As a member of Glee Club for four years, she carried her own love of harmony and good fellowship to the held of music. She has exhibited a partiality for football games, Booth Harbor, Maine and traveling. In return Manhattanville has shown a decided partiality for Louise. 101 Mary Belle Provost, E. de M. 342 Eddy Avenue, Missoula, Montana Wilmington Friends School, Wilmington, Delaware Major: Philosophy If you want to know the batting average of the New York Yankees’ third baseman, a synonym for sympathy in six letters, the topic of discussion at yesterday ' s English Club meeting, ask Mary. This rare combination of sincerity and sparkle is famous from snack bar to library. As President of the Interracial Justice Commission of N.F.C.C.S., she has shown a gift of leadership and a warm friendliness that will never be forgotten. A girl of many talents and interests, Mary will be missed every¬ where on campus. 102 Sheila Reynolds, E. de M. 785 Willow Road, Winnetka, Illinois Convent of the Sacred Heart, Noroton, Connecticut Major: History Take one wide-eyed smile, add a dash of black curls, a maximum of thoughtfulness, and plenty of vivacity; stir the concoction thoroughly, and the bubbling result will be—Sheila! She is the girl who is always eager for an excursion, be it to her carrell in the library, or to that farther clime where everything’s always gay, Bermuda. Down Purchase way Sheila has been active, not only in Glee Club and on Class Teams, but especially on the Dance Committee. No good time is complete with¬ out Sheila, for wherever she goes she spreads gaiety and happiness. 103 Mary Irene kittling 64 Oakland Place, Buffalo, New York St. Mary’s Seminary, Buffalo, New York Major: English It is somewhat paradoxical that so tiny a person as Mary should be so “big. Her contributions to Manhattanville are too numerous to list. As Chairman of the Dance Committee she put Manhattanville on the “college map.’’ Her greatest loves are people and life. As a result she spends her days giving, and then giving more, to every person with whom she comes in contact. Her voice, her big black umbrella, the way she cocks her head—all combine to make Mary completely enchanting and unfor¬ gettable. 104 Mary Elise RusselL, E.de M. 68 Soundview Drive, Greenwich, Connecticut Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, Connecticut Major: Psychology A genuine casualness coupled with an exuberance all her own label Elise wherever she goes. Enlivening the Cottage with one of her concerts’’ or giving her analysis of Dr. O’Hara, she’s always sure of an audience. A discussion of Bach, Brubeck, or California, all fit into the realm of Elise’s varied interests. Active in everything musical, time is still found for an afternoon at the ‘’flicks.’’ Manhattanville will miss Elise’s renowned hospitality and her friendly good humor. 105 Sarah. Russell, E. de M. 5803 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, Ohio Convent of the Sacred Heart, Cincinnati, Ohio Major: Mathematics Any old clothes lying around?’’ That ' s Sarah’s cry for Relief Committee before every vacation. Sarah’s success with the Bridge Tea and fashion show was just another example of her willing ability to organize. Perhaps her mathematical mind is her secret for success, but Sarah’s always ready to lend a little of it to a frantic freshman lost in Physics. If you want someone to chat with over a cigarette, a daring soul to take Stowe’s highest peak, Sarah’s on deck, just as she is when anyone needs a help¬ ing hand. 106 Anne Therese Seward 53 West Main Street, Amsterdam, New York St. Mary’s Institute, Amsterdam, New York Major: European History Equally receptive to both listening and to lively debate, Anne has been an addition to Cottage conversation. Active in the Glee Club and Mission Club, she has found time to day-dream about Lily Dache hats and the innumerable pleasures of HOME, which is that place in upstate New York calle d Amsterdam. Anne’s contagious smile and warm-heartedness have sparked many a Purchase chatting session, and have won her our universal admiration. 107 Kathleen. Seymour , E. de M. 876 Edgewood Park, Grosse Pointe 30 , Michigan Academy of the Sacred Heart, Grosse Pointe, Michigan Major: Psychology As head of Catholic Action and a Child of Mary, Kath has been the exemplar of the ideal: “doing the truth in charity.” This past Christmas, with her customary verve, she was a resounding success in the role of Santa Claus played for the benefit of the McCloskey orphans. Generous is almost too weak an adjective to describe Kath precisely; rather we would say that selfless giving is her way of life. Her insight, her ever present humor and air of good cheer have inspired us all to do just a little bit more. 108 Margaret Sheridan 17 Reyren Court, Ridgewood, New Jersey Ridgewood High School, Ridgewood, New Jersey Major: English Margaret has carried on the fine tradition of the Sheridan family in her three year stay at Manhattanville. A late start presented no problems as Margaret quickly lent her talents to Glee Club, Frivolous Affairs, and the Centurion Staff. Current events are her forte, and many a new light has been shed on a controversial subject by Margaret’s awareness of people and happenings. Genuine loyalty and an appreciation of values are two qualities that will insure Margaret a full and happy future. 109 Frances Travers Tobin, E. de AL 6222 Northwood Road, Dallas, Texas Lamar High School, Houston, Texas Major: English Did you hear? is Fran’s favorite query. This sentence has many endings, ranging from a heat wave in Dallas to the latest scoop for the Centurion. Not limited to being idea man for Centurion and Essay, Fran has rolled up her sleeves and set her con¬ structive pen to work. Argumentative, but with the softening touch of a Texas drawl, she can always be counted on to contribute a valuable viewpoint. Fran’s comments, we know, represent what she is—witty, spontaneous, and sage. 110 Sarah. Murray Tonrey Harding, Pennsylvania Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pennsylvania Major: Social Theory Everyone knows Sally. Mission and Glee Clubs, Centurion and Interracial Club, all have benefited from her many talents. She is loyal, charming, persevering, but above all a good teammate in the class or on the hockey field. You can find her window¬ shopping, browsing in card shops, having dinner at Donatone’s, shoveling snow in the Poconos, or traveling in the “Leaky-Valley” Railroad. Whatever Sally does (and we know that she could do almost anything), she will do well. Ill Enud Aniko Von Kibedi Varga American Legion Hospital, Battle Creek, Michigan Poughkeepsie High School, Poughkeepsie, New York Major: Russian Enud’s major indicates her erudition, for the mastery of Russian has madeher truly multi-lingual. Although she represents Hungary in the International Club, her cul¬ tural horizons are unlimited. Wherever she goes, she brings with her a perceptive and sympathetic outlook, for her internationalism has its foundation in an attitude of friendliness to all. A charming accent and lovely smile have made Enud known and welcome at Manhattanville. 112 Margaret Arm Wallingford, E. de M. 32 Marion Avenue, Albany, New York Academy of the Sacred Heart, Kenwood, Albany 2, New York Major: Classics If Peg had not already distinguished herself by her brilliant scholarship, she could easily go down in the annals of Manhattanville as the only matriculated student who ever read Greek funny papers. This classical scholar has not limited herself to “egg¬ head ” pursuits, but was President of A. A. and a member of both Steering Committee and the Children of Mary Council. Whatever her secret of success, Peggy has an inner sense of order and proportion that makes whatever she does seem effortless. 113 Carol Wettlaufer 514 Lincoln Road, Grosse Pointe, Michigan Academy of the Sacred Heart, Grosse Pointe, Michigan Major: English Vitality abounds in Carol, who has combined humor and intelligence so success¬ fully in her travels to Montreal, Bermuda, and Europe. Many Dance Committee meet¬ ings and lounge gatherings have been enlivened by her frequent entertainments. Carol’s feats of “derring-do” surpass the imagination; one can be sure when she’s about that the maxim is “Expect the unexpected.” Gaiety, however, masks an inner depth of perception, which she displays in the fields of art and literature. Her instinc¬ tive sympathy for the emotions and moods of others has characterized Carol as a receptive confidante. 114 Audree Anne White 54 Windsor Road, Milton, Massachusetts Jeanne d’Arc Academy, Milton, Massachusetts Major: English When you see Audree, you know that she must be a member of the Dance Com¬ mittee. Pretty, pert and poised, her abilities extend even to the stage, where she is intriguing in almost any role. Cosmopolitan and well-liked, Audree makes a festive event of anything from horse-back riding to handing in that latest paper. But her fun-loving nature and social flair do not prevent her from taking an active interest in her more serious pursuits. English and International Clubs have reaped the many benefits of her versatile talents. 115 Margaret Wilson 13 Fieldstone Road, Rye, New York Rye Country Day School, Rye, New York Major: English Whether it’s T.S. Eliot or bridge, Mamie’s the expert. She best expounds while relaxing in the Snack Bar after classes on Wednesday afternoons. In the summer she busies herself with sailing on the deep blue waters of Long Island Sound with her latest novel in hand—taking in the sun and a bit of knowledge to boot. Her ambitions? They range everywhere from Criminal Law to Advertising Research. Congratulations are in order, for Marnie began as a freshman with the Class of ’57, but managed to complete her studies in three successful years. 116 Pia Yamaguchi 1068 Yoyogi Oyamacho, Shibuyaku, Tokyo, Japan International Academy of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo, Japan Major: English In Pia’s lively personality are mingled the East and the West. With her cosmo¬ politan air and gift for languages she has made a perfect International Club President. Pia’s name is familiar to Essay subscribers, and not the least of her honors is the Joseph Wickham Short Story Medal. But dramatics she claims as her specialty. As Sophomore Secretary to the Dramatic Club, she discharged the details of business efficiently and later turned to directing and costume designing. Her happy generosity and savoir faire will always delight her friends. 117 EXCELSIOR!” Four years ago rhey came to Purchase. They were bright-eyed, eager, a little scared perhaps, but very happy. All had their own ideas of what college would be like—very different most of them, but with one thing in common; they thought it would be wonderful! At first they could hardly make pretensions to eru¬ dition yet be prepared to answer to the name of feeble floppy flowers at the command of gracious gardeners. There were many new faces, many varied personali¬ ties, and yet they adjusted and grew into a unified class led unerringly from the start by Kathy O’Brien. Sophomore year found them singing as they im¬ mortalized their big sisters in sparkling lyrics. Junior year found them thinking: What did they really want to do in life? Senior year found them writing on all sorts of erudite topics from Joyce to Mammalian Physiology. There were questionnaires and letters of application to be filled out, papers and more papers, and always the eternal question—After this, what? During this hectic period, Mother Bourneuf ' s calm and reassuring presence served as a bulwark in a sea of uncertainty. They came as many, they leave as one, still bright¬ eyed, eager and a little scared. Our wish for them is great success, our admonition and our hope: Excel¬ sior!

To us it is more than a college; it is a home. We leave it now, confident that its spirit will be cherished, its ideals realized, its traditions respected by you and all future students. Manhattanville’s tomorrow is yours. Very Sincerely, on behalf of the Class of 1956 123 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS— Sylvia Quarles , Vice-President; Carole Neri, President ; Cathy Lengyel, Representative at Large. Juniors This past fall the Class of ’57 heaved a collective sigh of re¬ lief. They had attained the status and corresponding privi¬ leges of upperclassmen. Orientation Week found them guiding bewildered Fresh¬ men from Founders’ Hall to the Front Parlor and back again. For a brief week, thdy served as oracles of knowledge and dispensers of aid as they handed out everything from advice to lollipops. Juniors were frequently found in academic gown as they ushered, arranged and generally made themselves useful at official functions. The Tower staff labored long and hard as they attempted to “capture” Manhattanville in print. The existence of inadequate or overused adjectives was lamented as typewriters pounded long into the night. Mother Clark lent her valued assistance to all class endeavors and urged the Juniors on to greater heights as they prepared for their future respon¬ sibilities both here at Manhattanville and in the world of post-graduation. 124 JUNIOR CLASS COUNCIL—Standing: J.

The class of ’58 had triumphed over the Freshman trials of Hygiene, a “promfull” of chairs and myriad exams. They stood ap¬ parently undaunted as they faced the prospect of the tradi¬ tionally “hardest year.” The “Royal Regal Rah-Rah Romans” com¬ manded the complete obedience and untiring ser¬ vice of their slaves. Yet a spirit of friendliness which shone through the sternest Sophomore stare, united the two classes, after the hectic hazing period. This was a year of Surveys. They struggled with the intricacies of the French Revolution and the Arthurian Legend, and managed to emerge vic¬ torious. The Sophomores adapted themselves to more privileges and new responsibilities under the guid¬ ance of Taddy, Diana, Carol and Cecy. In March, muffled strains of music drifted from the Pius X auditorium, which told of the lyrical ability of the Serenade Committee, led by T. Malarkey and di¬ rected by Karen Olsen. After weeks of practice, ’58 said goodbye to their sister class with regret and gratitude. With Mother Hargrove’s assistance and sym¬ pathy, the class revealed an amazing range of gifts, and a capacity for leadership. This year’s Sopho¬ mores have displayed their readiness to excel which bodes well for their approaching career as upperclassmen.

The history of the Class of ' 59 began auspiciously on September 17, 1955, when a hundred and fifty-five bewildered Freshmen were greeted, introduced, and duly registered by 3:30 P.M. The tradi¬ tional barrage of lectures, tests, and tours followed, but eager Freshmen met each challenge successfully. Simple, Silly, Slovenly Slaves were soon ex¬ posed to the rigors of academic life and the cunning intrigues of clever Sophomores. Hazing was con¬ quered, Freshmen lent varied talents to Madrigals, Hockey Squad, and Catholic Action. Special privi¬ leges became a part of college life, as the old order gave way to the new as regards lights,” the 10:00 o’clock rule, and 8:30 permissions. Throughout the year, Freshmen came to value the advice and interest of their Warden, Mother Dowd—whose door was always open to them. Class leaders were wisely chosen, and numerous projects imaginatively planned. If beginnings indicate future trends, ' 59 should enjoy three years of achievement, for enthusiasm and genuine interest have become class trademarks, and innumerable gifts and talents need only be tapped for future success.

Children of Mary “Child of Mary of the Sacred Heart”—the title is full of meaning for many at Manhattanville and for many more in the family of the Sacred Heart throughout the world. Not only does it signify a particular dedication to Our Lady, but also a special consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of His Mother. Aspirants and “medals” alike are united in a common desire to perfect themselves for love of Our Lord; the Rule of the Sodality is the means which they have chosen to lead them to this end. By prayer and daily striving, the Child of Mary tries to fit herself to fulfill the mission to which she is specially dedicated—to be a messenger of love not only to Manhattanville but to the world. Virginia MacLellan , President Kathleen O ' Brien, President Student Government “The best of all governments is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.’’ Each Manhattanville student is considered to be, and is, a member of Student Gov¬ ernment. Manhattanville students have set up a Stu¬ dent Government committee consisting of the Presi¬ dent, Vice-President, and Representative at Large of each class, with Mother Dowd acting as moderator. The student body has empowered a Student Govern¬ ment committee to make and enforce the laws neces¬ sary for group living. The main function of the com¬ mittee is to permeate all college life and represent the views of the students at all times. Kathy, Boodie and Jane with their skillful guidance have made this year of innovation one to be remembered. Left to Right: C. Lengyel, AL Cappelli, S. Quarles , A. O ' Connor, Vice-President; C.

Welfare’s work includes regula¬ tion of elections, proper dress for dinner, and a sensible distribution of extra-curricular activities which is safeguarded by an ingenious “point” system. Rica’s appealing friendliness has made us appreciate the niceties of good social behavior and the high stand¬ ards of taste and conduct. Forced to take a stand on many a controversial issue, Welfare’s reputation rarely suffers. From shirts at dinner to shorts on week-ends, Welfare has trained us all to look beyond ourselves to the welfare of the whole. Frederica Kane, Chairman Seated: M. K. Tracy, C. Miller, M. A.

Catholic Action Council In preparing the Manhattanville student for life, some thought must be given to Catholic Action. At present a very active Catholic Action Council has successfully revitalized student participation in the Apostolate of the campus and the community, and actively supported national and international mission projects. The Council functions as a co¬ ordinating body; it seeks to answer appeals from the community and to train properly and place the right person in a needed position. Consequently, Council members busy themselves with the endless wealth of details involved in directing 500 volun¬ teers to such widely diversified activities as doing Catechetical work, serving as Nurses’ Aides, and mothering orphans. In September, the Council sponsored a most successful smoker” which ex¬ posed community needs to the college. Response was overwhelming, and new channels were opened to student zeal. The large Christmas project saw small groups of friends plan and imaginatively present 135 Christmas dinner boxes. Their efforts were more than rewarded upon return from vaca¬ tion, for warm messages of thanks were sent from many happy homes. Kath Seymour and a staff of able assistants have sparked a dynamic year of efficient Catholic Action, and have enabled many volunteers to learn the true meaning of giving. 146 Catholic Action Financia CATHOLIC ACTION FINANCIAL—Seated: A. Mendoza, B. Haight, M. A. Eidenbach, K. Creadon, S. Bourgeois , Chairman; M. Ryan, S. Dunne, P. Langie. Standing: S. Lampert, J. Wittgenstein, L. McKeon, S. Hennessy, A. Dooling. Financial support for needy charities is solicited from each college student through the efforts of the Catholic Action Financial Committee. Led by Sue Bourgeois, Committee members this year revamped the former system of automatic collection of dues in favor of a more personal method of donation. The success of this innovation was immediate; each member of the student body participated with in¬ creased fervor in the apostolic work.of the Church. Donations were put to good use in the Christmas Basket project and to help defray expenses incurred in the various on-campus Catholic Action activi¬ ties. Student delegates sent to summer conferences traveled expense free, thanks to C.A.F. support. Increased student participation has brought new interest in world mission activities and has brought to the attention of every student the needs of his fellow man. GLEE OFFICERS— G. Thompson, V. Kock, President; K. Olson, A. Dondero. 148 The baton keeps waving, and Mother Morgan’s familiar “Take Courage” sounds above the strug¬ gling sopranos and altos. Such is the scene in Pius X Hall every Tuesday evening, as the Glee Club pre¬ pares for its two yearly performances. The tradi¬ tional Christmas Carol concert gathers Manhattan- ville’s friends from as far away as New Orleans. Grandparents and grandchildren, in the friendly informality of the program, ring in the Christmas season with a hearty chorus of Adeste Fidelis. This year, the three performances drew a record attend¬ ance of close to three thousand. And to match the crowd, the Glee Club turned out three polished 1 p V. V 1 M I | f J I . 4 CLUB productions. For a little variety in 1956, Gilbert Sullivan had to step aside to make way for a Choral Concert in the Spring. The selections ranged from amusing arrangements of Humpty Dumpty and Jack Jill, to an almost professional rendition of ‘ ‘How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings” from the Bach Requiem. The exceptional success of the Glee Club this year was due in part to the careful selection of members from requisite tryouts. But without Ginny’s en¬ thusiasm, “southern warmth,” and capable leader¬ ship, together with Mother Morgan’s “know¬ how” in making weary students want to sing, this success never would have been possible. 149 Debating Club With great zest, the Debating Club went to the library and exhumed the Lattimore and Kaplan re¬ ports. After weeks of assiduous underlining and crossing out, several teams, under the leadership of Barbara Hogan, were ready to stand the test of opposition from Good Counsel, Fordham, and Holy Cross. Discussions within the Club ranged from such topics as the Bill of Rights to “Should the I.B.M. system be abolished?” Members benefited from the enthusiasm of their faculty moderator, Mother Parton. They were fortunate to secure the assist¬ ance of Dr. McClelland who shared with aspiring orators his knowledge of the finer points of the art of debate during the second semester. The friendly spirit of rivalry, evidenced each Tuesday night in the Faculty Room, proved enlightening as well as educational for all participants.

This year the Dramatic Club, led by Charlotte Cassidy and Mary Joanne Kaufman, and assisted by their advisor, Mother Fiske, and coach, Miss Peet, has shown Manhattanville what dedication produces. In October, the Inter-Class Play Contest showed the high caliber of the Club’s talent; this close battle was won by the Junior’s charming version of the proposal scene from Victoria Regina. Later, Dramatic Club members showed their versatility as they switched from the symbolic presentations of previous seasons to the realistic approach of Chodorov’s mystery Kind Lady, the first major production of the year. Spring brought another exciting innovation, as the Club presented three variations on a single theme. Shaw’s Candida, Barrie’s Half an Hour, and Synge’s In the Shadow of the Glen. If appreciative audiences are any indication, this year’s Dramatic Club was a “smash hit!” 152 First Row: S. Seymour, M. H. Cronin, M. J. Horan, C. Cassidy, C. Mahon, K. Cherry, D. McCurdy, C. Owens.

Twice each week the Pius X Choir met under Mother Morgan’s experienced direction to practice for an extensive and varied schedule.The results of these re¬ hearsals plus the devotion to music of all in the choir are well known to us at Manhattanville, and, through the Choir’s concerts and broadcasts, to people throughout the country. This year, the Madrigals have presented concerts at Christmas and in the Spring. They have also performed for the Westchester Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, at the Mass for Interracial Justice at Fordham University, and in Weston, Connecticut. The enjoyment and love of music which each mem¬ ber feels may well be the key to the consistent beauty and su ccess of these performances of Manhattanville’s Pius X Choir. M. Miner, C. Boodell, M.

Steering Committee While Steering Committee is the most unobtrusive of the Student Government organizations, it is easily one of the busiest on campus. Ably masterminded by Martha Murphy, it plans the agenda for the College Council meetings and is the efficient method of the unification of representatives of each class. To this committee come recommendations which are formulated and then submitted to the College Council. This year Steering Committee supervised and put into action extensive plans for American Education Week which resulted in a series of skits given by each organization on campus.The results were at once instructive and amusing. Steering Com¬ mittee can be proud of its achievements this year, for it has done an excellent job in both its functions of coordinating student activities and expressing the opinion of the student body through their representatives. Martha Murphy, Chairman 155 N. LaFarge, 0. Dyhdalavych, L. Gilson, S. Castellini, M. B. McAnaney, M. Feltes, Delegatej J. Stokes, A. McMahon, H. McMahon, Alternate Delegate; S. Ward. N. S. A. The National Students’ Association was formed to unite the various college students of the United States. Its influence is both personal and national. Student opinion of many different kinds and student problems of all natures are discussed with an eye to the benefit of all. Here Manhattanville presents the Catholic view and listens to ideas of others. In the past specific results were seen when, by their votes, Manhattanville students helped movements in which they believed. Mimi Feltes was this year’s hardworking chairman who helped widen the college’s view with reference to stu¬ dent activities on a national scope. The association sponsors such cultural activities as trips to Europe, as well as practical projects like the student discount system. N.S.A. work is vital and interesting, demanding real dedication from its workers. 156 R. Cannon , M. Engelken, J. Garson, Junior Delegate; M. Provost , M. Murphy, Senior Delegate; J. Buzyell, E. Barnes. N. F. C. C. S. The National Federation of Catholic College Students is an organization of over two hundred Catholic Colleges throughout the United States. Its aim is to strengthen the spirit of the Lay Apostolate among Catholic students, and to serve as a training field for strong and intelligent Catholic leaders. N.F.C.C.S. Commissions, the prac¬ tical means by which these pr inciples are carried out, operate through co-curricular clubs on individual campuses. The N.F.C.C.S. thus serves as the medium for inter¬ collegiate exchange of ideas, and as the voice of Catholic student opinion in America. This year the N.F.C.C.S. on campus was capably led by Martha Murphy assisted by Judy Garson as Junior Delegate. As Catholic students play an ever increasing role in educational affairs of this country, the N.F.C.C.S. is an organization which calls for our active support. INTERRACIAL CLUB— Priscilla FitzGerald, Chairman Interracial Study Club Anti-semitism and segregation—these are only two of the many problems discussed with interest by the Interracial Study Club. Among their activities this year was the sponsorship of an Interracial Week. The club is headed by Priscilla FitzGerald, under the direction of Mary Provost, and moderated by Mother Bourneuf. The Citizenship Club , a weekly seminar on current events from the Catholic view¬ point, trains its members to be active participants in a Christian society. It sponsored the Louis Budenz talk on the “Communist Strategy of 1956.’ 1 It was ably led by Mel Fitzgerald and Mary Casey, with Mr. Carbone as moderator. Manhattanville’s U.N. is International Club, a non-political society to promote re¬ lations between foreign and American students on campus. The International Club sponsored lectures, such as Mr. Dohrn’s analysis of present European conditions. With Pia Yamaguchi as President, Sheila Delaney as Vice-president, and Dr. De Arango as moderator, the Club has contributed a valuable example of friendship at work. 158 CITIZENSHIP CLUB —Mary Ellen Fitzgerald, Chairman Citizenship Club International Club INTERNATIONAL CLUB —Pia Yamaguchi , Chairman xy Relief Committee With Mother Dowd’s assistance Sarah Russell has led the Relief Committee in continuing the tradition of love and giving at Manhattanville. The record-breaking financial success of the Bridge Tea ensured continuing support of Manhattanville’s foreign students. Whether the call for help came from the Villa Lante in Italy or from Friendship House in our own “New York, New York,’’ Relief Committee showed their know-how, organization and zeal as they responded with unfailing enthusiasm. It was the Relief Committee upon whose shoulders the brunt of sewing, ironing and packing fell. Our admiration for their work is exceeded only by the gratitude of those whom they have helped. J.

Mission Club The colorful bulletin board of the Mission Club has never failed to catch our eye and keep us informed of the Club’s varied activities. Thursday afternoon meetings were held on campus, but Mission Club members covered the globe as they sought to aid missionaries the world over. Bandages were knitted to ease suffering lepers in the tropics. A.T. Burns, guided by Mother Williams and Mother Donovan, led sewing sessions in which delica te white First Communion dresses were fashioned. The fas¬ cinating tales of guest speakers renewed zeal and increased student knowledge of con¬ ditions in Africa and China. The Mission Club has given its members a world view¬ point but more important it has taught them to love and serve the Mystical Body. 161 Science Club This year the Science Club has continued to prove to the college that science is not an intricate or ex¬ plosive game for the elite. With its moderator, Mrs. Rickert, and president, Chi Li, the club has set up a museum in the academic building with special em¬ phasis on fossils and other geological specimens of interest. The club sponsors smokers such as the one on “The Place of Science in the Liberal Arts Educa¬ tion,” lectures, and tours to places of interest. It has done all this for the college but Science Club has also worked toward the integration of such departments as physics, biology, and chemistry. A closer coordination of the sciences will always be its aim. SCIENCE CLUB —Chi Li, President 162 English Club Discussions of verse drama, the theme chosen by the English Club this year, were adroitly led by Bar¬ bara Francis in a series of weekly meetings. One of the highlights of the year was a scintillating lecture by the noted poetess, Phyllis McGinley. She captivated her audience with alternating humor and depth of vision. The English Club displayed its lighter side during American Education Week, by giving a skit in which T. S. Eliot was the phantom lecturer at Manhattanville. Another undertaking of the year was the presentation of Thomas Merton’s new verse play, The Tower of Babel , which was given on Reverend Mother’s feast day. This year’s English Club with the able guidance of Mother Williams fulfilled its three¬ fold purpose: that of awakening the critical opinion of the college, encouraging tomorrow’s literary gen¬ iuses, and extending an appreciation of the written word. OFFICERS— Barbara Francis, President; M.ichelle O ' Shea, Secretary. English Club discussing T. S. Eliot 163 Business Staff Centurion “What’s new?’ ’ is the cry which echoes through the Centurion room before each issue goes to press. Despite hectic pr eparation the newspaper meets each deadline in the best traditions of journalism. Efficient news- hounds tracked down facts on Mother O’Byrne at the White House Conference, and on the Ford Foundation Grant, and assembled them into well-written features. Poems, gossip columns, and “what to see” articles represented a candid Manhattanville in ink. Their able editor-in-chief, Julia Huiskamp, aided by Sheila Flynn, Barbara Francis, Ahnee Gleeson, and Fran Tobin set up well-planned dummies and contributed the flair which distinguishes a “scoop” from a flat news story. With the help of Dr. Byrns’ suggestions, they guided an eager staff of writers and business ad¬ ministrators to establish a popular newspaper. At Manhattanville nearly everyone reads the Centurion! 164 Literary Staff I ESSAY The 1956 Essay set a precedent—this precedent was in its independence. Under the very able guidance of Dr. O’Brien the Essay became a more powerful voice of the collective student body. It broadened its scope to include such vital subjects as the latest atomic research, yet retained its fictional features, both humorous and serious. Seniors and freshmen alike racked their brains for a verse play or four line poem. Even the format was revised to keep in stride with the new range of the subject matter. As the more serious vocal organ of the college the new Essay was especially well- received and even alumnae were included in the roster of contributors. The staff has been expanded also, and its hopes for continued success next year are brighter than ever. S. Flynn, M. Black, F. Tobin, P. Geuting, Editor ; C. Butler, S. Greeley.

Frivolous Affairs Frivolous Affairs is a campus club devoted to re¬ lieving those mid-week blues! Under the direction of Ahnee Gleeson, with Mother Bourneuf as advisor, six¬ teen representatives from all four classes manage to dream up new and different schemes for the entertain¬ ment of the college. Much as confusion may reign at times, all goes smoothly on “culture” nights, when many Thursday opera-goers, ballet enthusiast s, and theatre-lovers participate in their favored pastimes. It is largely through the efforts of this committee that Manhattanville students can enjoy the many cultural opportunities this area has to offer. The 1955-56 athletic year progressed successfully, due to the fine leadership of Peggy Wallingford. Keep¬ ing in step with the growth in spirit at Manhattan- ville, the A.A. this year worked to foster friendly competitive instincts and good sportsmanship. We were proud of the successes of our Hockey Squad, not to mention those of our enthusiastic Tennis Team. Basketball, swimming and bowling will once again be features of the Winter Sport Program when the Kennedy Gymnasium reaches completion. Athletic Association A. O ' Neil, S. Steers, K. Gilbane , M.

Dance Committee Shall we dance ?— Most assuredly we shall, if the Dance Committee has anything to say about it. The Dance Committee under the able and gay chairmanship of Mary Rittling, with the dynamic assistance of Mother Morgan, functions as an individual, planning and doing, with results that would be felicitous in any home. The focal points of the dancing year were the Winter and Spring Proms, where belles with beaux blossomed out in gaily decorated rooms. The Prom weekends are supplemented during the rest of the year by informal Supper and Saturday night dances, such as the Valentine dance. From the mailing of the first invitation to the drying of the last dish, the committee of twenty worked as one and the College responded in two’s. 170 171 DANCE SNAPS • «� !
