A LOVER AND PROMOTER OF EDUCATION . . . CHANCELLOR OF MERCYHURST COLLEGE F O R E W O R D the far horizon's rim Doth a whole tract of heaven disclose! HIS EFFORT to set down, in miniature and with some impression of finality, a sequence of college years has been inspired by our love for Mercyhurst and by our own quite normal interest in our growth as stu- dents. No theme is closer to man than himself. And no theme is closer to astudent than the biography of her college days. ln the very gusto of those days is the last expiring breath of youth-that stretch of life which wins an immortality of memory in the doting reminiscences of later years that fondly coddle the past in the leisure of their own ma- turity. The assiduities of our college days, their fitful humors, their flar- ing enthusiasms, their truancies, their flitting sunshine and extended shadows alternately and unremittingly ringing the changes in the nim- ble dance and flight of hours, their levities, their passionate despairs, their deep draughts of truth have driven us constantly upward to new horizons which possess a distance worthy of the skies 5 from whose height is 'lto be seen the distance of this World. DEDICATIO TO THE DEAN OF MERCYHURST COLLEGE, Mother M. Borgia Egan, Q. M., Whose vision and objectives in the field of education, resurgent courage in the presence of difficulties, vital and compelling personality, and genius for inspiring loyalty have crystallized, in a definite and durable form, the spirit of cooperation which has fashioned the Walls and the soul of Mercyhurst, We dedicate this the first volume of PRAETERITA 1 fl .7 is ,wx l r- as K 7 1 Ali?

Through me is bridged the gap between the untried and the tested, between the wondering eyes of youth, and the understanding vision of age. Through my help the dreams of the adolescent be- come the reality of the adult. Through me, those who enter my presence are led from paths of doubt to the highroad of truth, from the narrowed limits of de- pendence to the broad highway of independent ac- tion. By my aid they learn to separate the reasoned utterance of the orderly mind from the siren subtle- ties of the Sophist. By me they are transformed from strangers at the gates of learning to satisfied dwellers within the portals of knowledge, from an existence of scant acquaintance with the purveyors of truth to friendly familiarity with the giant intellects that have shaped the destiny of the human race. By my alche- my, the faltering footsteps of perplexity are transmuted into the firm tread of assurance, and the morass of dangerous scepticism into the solid ground of moral certitude-I AM ALMA MATER.

The council meets regularly once a month. lt represents all classes in the college and makes its decisions impartially and in the interests of all the students. lts purpose is to present the plans and problems ot the students to the administration and, by consultation, to arrive at a solution ot students' difficulties. Among its other responsibilities, it determines the dates of all large social functions and the extent of dance permissions. Presidents of the classes are ipso facto members of the council. The president is elected from the Senior class. Two members are elected from each of the Freshman and Sophomore classesg three from each of the lunior and Senior classes.

Secretary The Mercyhurst Sodality of the Blessed Virgin is affiliated with the Prima Primaria of Rome, is a member of the Western New York Sodality, and is associated with the Erie Sodality Union. Its members share in the indulgences and privileges granted by the Roman Pontiffs. lts spiritual director, Father Powers, and its moderator, Mother Borgia, encourage the devotion of its members to the Mother of Christ, to ideals of personal holiness, and to lives of Catholic Action. The current year's Sodality activities, whether spiritual, business, or social, presented an interesting and varied program. Two representatives of the Sodality, Mary Ciaiola and Edith Regan, attended the Boston Summer School of Catholic Action. The Reverend Daniel A. Lord, S.l., National Director of the Sodality, spoke at the reception of new members. During the months of February and March, Eleanor O'Sullivan spoke in defense of Christ's divinity at the annual Symposium sponsored by the Western New York Sodality Conference in the cities of Buffalo, Elmira, Erie, Rochester, and Hamilton. The Sodality also assisted the Erie Sodality Union's Speakers Bureau in selecting topics for discussion. Edith Regan and Helen Gowans were Mercyhurst speakers at meetings of the Erie Sodality Union. The Sodality's Spring Gaudeamus dance, held on April 10, brought the social program to a close. The Sodality events for the year were brought to a climax with the May Queen Crowning of Mary Agnes Lobaugh. Her attendants were Martha Mary Kettering, Elba Armstrong, Marjorie St. Lawrence, Mary Margaret Murphy, Anne Stout, and Mary Ciaiola. Standing: F. Hauser, M. Ciaiola, M. O'Sullivan, M.

Secretary The International Relations Club was established two years ago. Its first roster of officers included Iane Uprichard as president, Margery Potter as secretary, and Sister Mary Anna as faculty adviser. Its members, recognizing the vital need for an intelligent public opinion, have de- voted themselves to the study and discussion of International affairs in an honest effort to clarify their own minds concerning current world problems. The Club realizes that all students of International affairs do not think and feel alike. Consequently, from its in- ception, it agreed to grant as much freedom of thought and expression to its members as they demand for themselves. Among the many objectives of this club, perhaps the most important is the establishment of world peace. Regular meetings of the club are given over to round table discussions and debates. Rosemary I-Iaule and Betty Harrington represented Mercyhurst at the I937 Inter- national Relations Club Conference held at the University of Delaware, Newark, Dela- ware. Martha Kettering and Frances Riblet were the I. R. C. delegates at the 1937 Conference on Government held at I-Iarrisburg, Pennsylvania. Top Row: M. Rosa, I-I. Younie, I.. Kellogg, R. McGee, B.

Publicity The Order of Gregg Artists, or Order of Good Accountants, solves the riddle suggested by the letters, O. G. A. lt began in November, l933 through the initiative of a group of girls who like being charter mem- bersziin activities of any kind. The membership numbered twenty-four. Kathleen O'Brien C345 was its first presi ent. Membership is optional to students majoring or minoring in the Department of Commercial Education. lt is gratifying to report that it is lOO per cent-and this, not only in name, but also in spirit. Members are honorary, that is, members of the Alumnae, and active, that is, students in secretarial courses during the cur- rent school year. At present, the latter number seventy-five. Monthly meetings are divided into a business meeting and a social hour. Members are appointed to inter- view and introduce to the group speakers chosen from the field of business. Among the guests have been prominent business men and women, teachers, and several of our O. G. A. Alumnae Members. During the year we sponsored a very successful Roost Party, under the chairmanship of Helen Gowansg a Welcome Party for thirty new members, and a Get-Together at which our slogan-Our Greatest Asset -Dependability-was adopted. At this meeting, Mary Margaret Murphy and her committee presented two original songs which were unanimously adopted by the Sorority. We feel that our O. G. A. Sorority is a worthwhile activity at Mercyhurst because: it creates desirable contacts with persons in the business worldg it reenforces classroom teachingp it promotes interest in the teach- ing and secretarial phases of commercial education, it develops initiative, poise, and other desirable traits in its members, generally, it affords to its members advantages both educational and social.

With Mrs. Maud Kennedy Wilbert directing its activities, the Glee Club has sung its Way into the hearts not only of the students but of the Erieites as Well. Multiple practices in harmonizing have resulted in unstinted public appreciation. On the supposition that first impressions are lasting, We feel justified in assuming that the Glee club's radio debut was an impressive occasion in the memory of airway audiences. Among its treasured moments, the Glee Club lists particularly the presentation of a program of melody on Bishop's Day in honor of his Excellency, Bishop Gannon. Favorite songs on the club's repertoire are particularly: l'The Sevenfold Amen, the t'Cfloria, 'How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place, and UO Lord Most Holy. The Crlee Club is just four years old. During this time, it has improved in numbers and performance. lt is a dynamic group, displaying greater vigor in each successive year under capable leadership. ' Page 48 C R C 1-1 E S T R A One day in September, 1933, Professor C. Morelli organized Mercyhurst's first College orchestra. The enthusiasm of the members and the interest of the student body in this new organization enabled it to go a long way toward the musical goal which it had set itself to reach. In lune of the same scholastic year, it made a most creditable debut at its first public concert. Under the direction of Professor C. Morelli, the orchestra has continued to make definite progress. Each year has brought new talent from the outside and increased assurance within the group itself. The activity of the organization during the year con- sists in furnishing the music for school plays and traditional occasions such as the Christmas Party, lnvestiture Service, and Mother Borgia's Feast Day. The annual concert presented each spring winds up the work for the year. The big event of the orchestra's history was the presentation, on March 19, 1936, of a short concert in the Erie Public auditorium, when Miss Theodora Blake appeared as the second speaker in the lecture course of the Erie Council of Catholic Women. Since we, the Class of 1937, are Charter members, we feel a special attachment toward the organization, and, in reviewing our accomplishments, we feel that we have gone far under Professor Morelli's skillful training and patient efforts.

Treasurer ln February 1935, plans for the organization of a college dramatic club were inaugurated by Miss Beatrice Mulcahy and students who were interested in various phases ot dramatics. lane Conners was elected President, Betty Taylor, Vice-Presidentg Marjorie Potter, Secretary, and Kay Harrington, Treasurer. These pioneers wrote the club's charter and established a spirit ot enthusiasm which has persisted to this day. Quite appropriately the new club was known as the lanus Club in honor ot the Greek god whose two-faced representations indicate the spirits of comedy and tragedy. The purpose ot the organization was to further dramatic interest and dramatic technique among the collegians and to bring to the foot-lights any talent that might otherwise remain dormant. Apart from the plays put on by the lanus Club, the members have been active in attending stage productions sponsored by troupes that appear in the theatres of Erie. The first production staged in the Auditorium by the lanus Club was Mignonette, a romantic drama, written by Arthur leareu and directed by Miss Beatrice Mulcahy. The leading characters were Susan Neiner, Bertha McAllister, Marjorie Potter, Pat McAllister, and Winitred O'Dell supported by the Charter Members. Mignonette was produced a second time the same year as part ot the entertainment tor Mothers' Week-end. Since February 1935, many plays have been successfully produced. Some ot these plays were directed by the Senior members ot the lanus Club. These deserve special Commendation because their production displayed the aims ot the club in action. Today the Club numbers twice as many members as in l935 and the enthusiasm for making lanus Club one ot the most popular clubs on the campus is evident in the splendid cooperation put forth by every member.

Treasurer Mercyhurst's Math Club first came into existence in l932. The four senior Math majors Were'then its only members. Today, the club, under the expert steering of its adviser, Sister M. Clotilda, has increased its membership to twenty-tive. The princi- pal purpose ot the Club is to provide a summer school scholarship for a worthy sister ot the community. ln addition, it is intended to sustain interest in a variety of contests requir- ing mathematical skill. Every second year the members compile a Roster of the entire Student Body and Faculty of Mercyhurst, including names, addresses, and telephone numbers. The club's business-social meeting takes place once every month. A traditional function of the Math Club is its annual St. Patrick Day entertainment. This year it consisted ot a three-act comedy, You Can't Beat the Irish. A new activity, a l-lallowe'en Party tor the entire student body, has been recently added to its yearly program. Membership in the Math Club is open primarily to all Mathematics students. Other students who are interested in the work of the club are eligible for election into the Club.

Editor-in-Chief ANNE FOX ....... Business Manager Mercyhurst's monthly, the Merciad, is the official paper of the college. lts purpose is to be the voice of the campus and to report school spirit in action. lt was founded eight years ago and edited by B. Wilbert, under the direction of Dr. M. l. Relihan. The vigorous growth of the paper has kept pace with that of the school whose development has been chronicled in the Merciad's columns. The latest newspaper methods are reflected currently in the format of this monthly. The almost annual introduction of new columns is intended to keep the paper abreast of the campus' most recent ideas, vogues, activities, and developments. The 1936 Christmas issue carried two pages of advertisements, the first to appear in the Merciad. The 1936-37 editor, Eleanor O'Sullivan, and the business manager, Anne Fox, have by their own concentrated efforts and the cooperation of the Staff, reached new heights of editorial achievement by adding considerably to the variety and human interest tnof the paper. Mr. lohn A. Donatelli is the Merciad's faculty adviser. Margaret O'Sullivan has been elected editor for the year l937-38. Page 52 A T H L E T T C S TANE HURLEY ..,.. .

Treasurer The Roost, as a name, has been in existence for four years, but, as an organization, it has not yet passed its first birthday. The Roost, as a place, came into being as the result of the collegians' insistent requests to Mother Superior for a place of recreation outside of the school buildings. During the autumn of 1936, several of the most enthusiastic Roosters decided to band together, redeccrate the interior, and establish the Roost on the basis of an organization. Gur Dean, Mother Borgia, heartily approved of the idea, stimulated our interests, and donated the striking red and black linoleum which now covers the floor. We all worked hard. Cans of black and red paint, brushes, mops, and yards of chintz flourished for the entire week preceding Alumnae Week-end, for which occasion our work was com- pleted. The result was stupendous! Recreation in a rustic yet modern environment was made possible. A great fire roared in the white-washed brick fireplace. Red chintz curtains hung at the windows, and lamps of all types illuminated the beamed ceiling. Patsy Morin decorated the walls with pastel profiles of the members. The Alumnae were charmed and the Roosters preened their feathers. Officers Were elected, rules and mem- berships established, and committees designated. We are proud to say that the past year has seen the Roost Club become one of the most popular and progressive societies in the college. M. Battaglia, M. McGrann, V. Dooley, M. R. Oliver, M. T.

Treasurer Without intending any reflection upon their namesakes of the ether Waves, the Sisters of the Skillet, or members of the Home Economics Club, plan to please the palate of the most fanciful gastronome when the op- portunity arises. But this active organization, under the direction of Sister Collette, has broader interests than merely satisfying epicurean desires. For the past four years, the club has been interested in activities which supplement the curricular work of its members. For the purpose of furnishing inspiration and information to those who wish to go into special branches of home economics, such as styling or food research, women of some accomplishment in these fields have been engaged to speak before the club. With a wary eye to the future, the club has enlarged the home economics library, thereby making possible a wider choice in research work to its members. lt has added also to the foods laboratory equipment. To demonstrate the accomplishments of its members in the home economics field, it has sponsored bazaars, waffle breakfasts, and food sales. The social life of the home economist-to-be has not been neglected, for every member considers it her policy to sift the spice of life with cold scientific facts and garnish all with a sense of humor! To this purpose, picnic breakfasts and social meetings, which bring the members together in a spirit of common endeavor, have been arranged. This club points with pride to its achievements of the past year. lt caters, not merely formally but also in- formally, that is to say, socially, to two of man's fundamental needs-food and clothing, and it scrupulously avoids any attempt to solve the problematical difficulties of radio's Sisters of the Skillet.

Vice-President Pegasus Club is unique in that it offers pleasure, entertainment, and increase of literary appreciation. In exchange, it demands little of its members. lt consists of readers, writers, and lovers of poetry Who meet at their convenience for a bit of intellectual stimulus and refreshment. Although membership in the Pegasus Club is not compulsory, English majors make up a large proportion of its enrollment. Science, commercial, and home economics groups are also represented. Pegasus Club dates its birth with that of the college itself. From its inception, it has been under the supervision of Sister M. Philippa, Whose interesting talks and Wise direc- tion have been responsible for a rapid growth of interest in and love of poetry among the students. lts members contribute to the Merciad, and are responsible for a number of Mercy- hurst songs. The club meetings are delightfully informal and generally follow the pattern of spontaneous round-table discussions. Each member is urged to contribute original poems anonymously. This poetry is then subjected to the comments and criticism of the club members. Beautifully illustrated collections of the choicest poetry that has flowed from Pegasus pens are to be found in the college library. L A T l N C L U B LANE HURLEY . . . . . President MARGARET O'SULLlVAN . Secretary FRANCES MALANEY ....... Treasurer ln October, 1936, under the name of Sor-ores Togatae, the members of Mercy- hurst's Latin department were banded into a club. This organization was sponsored by the class of 1938. Its faculty adviser is Sister M. Agatha. The aim of the group is to foster an interest in the Latin Classics and in the Roman civilization which flourished during the golden age of Latin literature. This year's lecture program included addresses by eminent Latin scholars, among Whom was Dr. Roy l. DeFerrari, Dean of the Graduate School of the Catholic University of America and Head of the Classical Language Department of that institution. The annual Social event most characteristic of the interests of this club is a typical Roman Banquet which is arranged in all its details by the club members. Page 56 LE CERCLF. FRANCAIS IANE HURLEY . . President ADALINE MORRELLI . Vice-President INEZ BELLOTTI . . . Secretary MARGARET A. MOONEY ...... Treasurer The Club was organized in l927 by the Class of l93O for the purpose of promoting interest in the study of French literature and French civilization. During the past year, varied programs were presented, among which were The Renaissance, The Golden Age of French Literature, The Geography of France and Un Voyage. The Club is sponsoring a series of Educational films, featuring life in the French Provinces and studies in French art and music. PI-IYLCMELETIC CLUB IDA MGORE . . President IEAN STAMM . . Secretary MISS RITA TIERNEY . . . . Treasurer The Phylomeletic Club, under the direction of Mother Pierre, is dedicated to the ad- vancement of the science of biology. It endeavors to promote interest in and to encourage inquiry concerning all things that live and breathe and have their being in this Wide, complex World. Membership is open to all students of biology and allied sciences, in- cluding micro-biology, physiology, anatomy, taxonomy, ecology, and histology. The enrollment in this department is very large: the elementary biology class alone is re- sponsible for forty-eight members. Some members engage in individual projects and make interesting collections of flowers, insects, mosses, and butterfliesg others devote their efforts to compiling scrap books and caring for the aquarium and terrarium. One of the club's chief objectives is the sponsoring of a lecture program which enables the members to keep in close touch with scientific developments. Field trips which invade the campus Woods and explore the natural preserves of Presque Isle Peninsula are organized frequently. The Club also arranges events of a purely social nature which are delightful interludes spread pleasantly among its more serious activities. The biological atmosphere of this club suggests the motto: Live, let life, and live lively! Page 57 TANE ADDAMS SOCIETY MARTHA KETTERING . . President MARY LUCILE BURD . Secretary ROSEMARY HAULE . Treasurer During the past three years Mercyhurst has made rapidly advancing strides in the field of Sociology. The newly organized department, under the direction of Sister M. Victorine, has forced itself into prominence by the very enthusiasm of its fast swelling ranks. Sister M. Victorine has brought to Mercyhurst the finest and most extensive courses that Sociology has to offer. The department boasts social workers in large cities of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. An entirely new course, essential for Sociology majors, was introduced in February 1936, when the Social Field Work class began to glean practical experience from work under approved agencies in the City of Erie. Because of the prominence of this department and because of the varied and vastly different endeavors of its members, the formation of a sociology club was an inevitability. In February of this year, thirty students met and elected officers for the lane Addams Society. It was formed so that its members might benefit from each other's experiences, and from a mutual interchange of theories, ideas, and information. The Club meets bi-monthly and directs its energies socially and scholastically. Speakers, seasoned in the field of practical experience, readily consent to address this group, and participate in its entertainment. Sister M. Victorine is the society's counsellor and adviser. Named after one of America's most outstanding pioneers in the field of Social work, the lane Addams Society hopes to emulate the success and achievements of that venerable champion of youth.

Your staff has accepted and discharged a real re- sponsibility, and we feel sure that you who turn these pages and re-live the events of the year just concluded will join us in congratulating them. We are proud of the confidence placed in our ability to produce a book in keeping with the ideals of the school which sponsors it. We earnestly hope that this feeling of confidence will persist, and that it will he our privilege to place the facilities of our organization at the service of the yearbook staff at Mercyhurst College through suc- cessive years.
