A VALLEY .... AY IDEA.... A REALITY .... ‘A SECOYD SPRIYG ” The scenic pasture land of beautiful Merrimack Valley in the North Andover area was patiently waiting to bear fruit. Not until the imperative need for a college in this locale was actually realized did this pasture land reap a fruitful harvest. By providing a Catholic institution of higher learning for the Merrimack Valley, a once barren pasture has now become a stable center of learning prom- ising continuous expansion. Born of the Merrimack Valley’s need for a Catholic college, the idea was given impetus in 1946 when returning war veterans, wishing to further or continue their educations, threatened to greatly overcrowd colleges. When Archbishop Richard J. Cushing, who is responsible for the great advance of Catholic development in this archdiocese, gave his approval and sponsorship to the plan, the idea was crystal- lized. The Order of St. Augustine was chosen by the Archbishop to staff the new college. From Villanova Uni- versity in December of 1946, where he was then serving as Chairman of the Veterans’ Bureau, the Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., was selected as the first President of Merrimack College. When the new college was officially confirmed and formally named The Augustinian College of Merrimack Valley, a Board of Trustees was organized. The charter from the Common- wealth of Massachusetts was received on April 2 7, 1947. Theoretically, Merrimack College was a reality. The efforts and energies of the faithful were realized when the first class entered Merrimack College in the fall of 1947. Instead of being welcomed by ivy-covered buildings, the 165 male students were greeted by one classroom building, a long, low, rectangular structure known as Guild Hall. This one building, utilized for classrooms, offices, library and chapel, serviced the needs of the pioneer students. An idea born of need has transformed a pasture land into a college campus offering opportunity to all. .11 Vt ithin tlicse hrick walls lie all the iiistiuiiicnts responsible for developin ' ; the well or ' ;anize(l and non-speeialized mind.

Named for our beloved Archbishop, Cushing Hall is ever meeting the increasing demands in the scientific and engi- neering fields for highly trained and qualified men and women. The soul of the college, its vital principle of life, is emhedded in the faculty-administration huilding. Here the clerical faculty perceive the needs of the college and preserve its traditions. Herein also the lihrary and administrative offices tend to every academic requisite of the student. Providing us with the core of all Catholic student life, the Collegiate Church of Christ the Teacher makes our campus whole. The personal gift of Archbishop Cushing, it beckons all students to the comfort and guidance of the patroness of the college. Our Mother of Good Counsel. ■it . . LaAed Ut the will U When the first class of men entered Merrimack College in 1947, they pioneered in the Liberal Arts, Business Administration, Pre-Medical, and Pre- Dental courses. Realizing that by their activities precedents were being established, they organized a Holy Name Society, a campus publication, and a Student Council to act as mediator between the administration and student body. Indicative of faith in the promise of the college, co-eds were admitted in 1949. An expanding campus was con- current with the increasing enrollment evidenced each September. The new courses, now offered in a jicUtUlful p,eo pie. . . Medical Technology, Secretarial Science, and Civil Engineering, greatly augmented the enrollment. Although the student body was chiefly representa- tive of the Merrimack Valley and North Shore areas, it was not long before the New England accent was competing with the southern drawl and the western twang. Just as the enrollment and campus indicated progress, new additions each year to the original faculty of fourteen proved that the immediate advancements of the college had been enforced by, as well as based in, the will of a faithful people. I ' he loiif ' -awaited Business Administration Iniild- ing is now enier}!;ing as the third eoinpom ' nl of tlic (juadranjile which will soon lie com- pleted. Phis construction effects the initial step toward progress and promise for a fruitful “Second Spring”. Tem[)orarily used as a lecture hall after its construction in the earliest years of the college, the gymnasium now executes its rightful role in serving the physical welfare and athletic needs of the student. . . it energized through many instruments o[ power and influenee . . To the Board of Trustees went the responsibility of formulating plans to raise funds for the actual construction of the college. They were not alone in their enthusiasm and concern for the new insti- tution, however, as the people of the area, composed of parents and friends of the college, were instru- mental in giving financial assistance to the college. Their success may be measured by the immediate construction that followed their diligent and unselfish service. Admirably rising to their challenge, they were predecessors to the lay organizations now affiliated with the college. With the launching of the Development Fund to aid construction planned for the second decade, INIerrimack began its “Second Spring” on a note just as promising and meaningful as its birth. Archbishop Cushing has bestowed innumerable blessings and assistance on his beloved project. His aid has been continuous and invaluable. From a valley to an idea to a reality is the history of Alerrimack College during its first decade of existence. The second decade points toward a fruitful “Second Spring”. From 1947 to 1957 the unwavering belief of the loyal supporters aided Merrimack College in maintaining its growth. Through this faith it has progressed to a campus of seven buildings with an enrollment of 900 students. But progress denotes action. Action is evident with construction taking place on campus now. Therefore, progress will again characterize Merrimack during this, its “Second Spring”. BOUII OF TItVSTEES Prior Provincial and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Very Reverend Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., S.T.D., combines administrative skill with discerning: foresight in directing college expansion and develop- ment. The administrative experience of many years, the wise counseling in the present development, the buoyant encouragement despite burdensome anxiety have enabled Merrimack College to become a known and proven training ground for future leaders in the several vocations of society. To the Board of Trustees, whose interest is materially manifest in the present stage of campus development, a great debt of thanks is due. Into the capable hands of these spiritual leaders has also been placed one of the most difficult tasks one might encounter in the realm of finances, that of guiding an infant Catholic college through the maze of monetary problems which continually beset it. The physical plant before us and the continual transfer of buildings from the planning board to reality year after year is adequate proof of their untiring efforts.

OMINISTItATIO) ean Vice-President, Dean of the Faculty, Director of the Division of Arts and Sciences at Merrimack College, the Reverend Joseph J. (uldea, O.S.A., Ph.D., has had the dual task of coordinating the academic pursuits of an infant college and improving and enlarging its faculty. In addition to fulfilling most ably these monumental tasks. Father Gildea has always found time to give personal and sympathetic attention to the many student problems with which he is confronted. The wisdom and understanding of this priestly priest will be in the future, as it has been in the past, one of the greatest assets to which Merrimack College can proudly lay claim. PneUdeni The phenomenal growth of Merrimack College in the first decade of its existence is due in no small part to the capable administration and indefatigable zeal of its President, the ' ery Reverend Vincent A. iNIcQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D. Providing upkeep, planning expansion, acting as liaison between the college and its patrons in the vicinity. Father McQuade might well see in this second decade the fruition of his untiring efforts to place Merrimack College among the top institutions of higher learning. Indebted already to this man of religion and science, all who have been or will be associated with Merrimack will feel more obligated when they become more fully aware of the contribution of Father McQuade. The artes Ubcralcs come from the Imperial Roman idea of the knowledge that must be imparted to free citizens in order to equip them to exercise the highest functions of society. The student is led to an understanding of his dignity as an indi- vidual and of his responsibility as a member of society. He is taught to .think clearly, logically, comprehensively, to e.xamine facts under the light of true reason, and to act according to ethical principles. All the glories of the past and of this twentieth century are his for the full life if, by self-discipline of hard work and moral courage, he will translate this knowledge into high and noble action.

Ours is a highly industrial and technical civilization. The importance of the natural sciences has always been recognized as an integral part of man’s ever increasing knowledge of the world about him. Never more than in the twentieth century has the tempo of learning swirled so swiftly around the advance of science. The basic subjects of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology must form the foundation upon which all the elaborate superstructure of modern specialization WILLIAM G.

The lecture halls and technical laboratories provide the scientific knowledge for the student while the liberal subjects temper and broaden his general education. BASIL M.

Rapid scientific advancements, technical improvements, and mechanical inventions call for those with an exact training in the mathematical sciences. The engineer with his slide rule and transit is the symbol of Merrimack’s answer to this call. Established in 1951, the division of engineering provides courses leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in both civil and electrical engineering. But a Merrimack College graduate is not meant to be solely a technician. Philosophy, Religion, English, History, and Economics are considered integral parts of an engineer’s education. The result is a graduate highly trained in his own particular field yet imbued with the universal qualities of a Liberal Education. THOMAS A.

The division of Business .Xdministration at Merrimack College inculcates in its students a knowledge of business techniques together with a broad cultural education which consists in the understanding of the political, social and economic changes which affect business. Such a wide training is required if these students are to ably assume their civic and professional duties while meeting the rapidly changing conditions of modern life. The Business Administration building now under construction on the campus is witness to the increasing demand for students properly educated in the knowledge and use of business methods. miSiniESS ADHimSTRATIOlli ANTHONY R.

Business education today is of the utmost importance and Merrimack College offers the best secretarial training of any college in its field. Both the two- and four-year programs train young people to fill top- flight postions in outstanding industries throughout the New England area. Graduates from the two-year program have found positions in government, private industry, science and the mathematical fields. Four-year graduates find they are offered a two-fold vocational choice of either teaching in the business field or private secretarial work in almost any industry of their choice.

Recognizing the ever increasing need for adult education, Merrimack has gradually adopted a broad program of studies for those wishing to complete their formal education or who desire to acquire special skills. The evening division offers Associate Degrees in the Arts, Business Administration, Engin- eering, and Secretarial fields. Summer sessions afford an opportunity for earning needed college credits. The fact that the enrollment in the part- time sessions now nearly equals the regular day school indicates the public response to this service to the com- munity.

The class of 1961 were true Freshmen for those three hazardous weeks of orientation. They donned their “beanies and buttons” with valor and thereby acquired a temporary prestige unshared by upperclassmen. They withstood Senior tolerance, Junior condescension and Sophomore dominance to emerge at the Orientation Dance as a vital part of the iSIerrimack tradition. The members of the class of ’61 have been assimilated suc- cessfully into the social and academic life on campus and, as a group, promise well for the future. Front Row: M. Miller, S. Cavanaugh, S.

Having stored away the experience gathered from the rather bewildering Freshman year, the Sophomore finds himself free from the yearling’s collar, and, calm and confident, is raring to go. The Sophomore now reigns supreme in matters regarding the incoming Frosh — a time of good-natured retribution. Our Sophs are now ready to contribute to the over-all wealth of Merrimack College. 9 From Ron : S. Lizio, C. Mayer, K. Maguire, B. Fink, K. Mulligan, M. Flynn, J. Small, R. Wagner, H. Rielly.

It is a year of decisions, for the Junior now must decide upon which particular field he will concentrate his efforts. It is a year of increasing social activity, one in which he must find the proper formula of mixing effectively the ingredients of this social life with the demands of intense study. Junior year is the pivotal year. The gulf that separates underclassmen from upperclassmen is finally bridged, and with its crossing comes increased respon- sibility for leadership — both academically and socially. There exists in the Junior a feeling of accomplishment. The time to reap the harvest of his endeavors is rapidly approaching. Front Row: A. Rand, M. Sipsey, M. McVi alter, M. Seott, L. Perrault, B.

To the benefit of this generation, and of future generations, his call was heard and answered. When necessity demands aid, his bountiful response is always present. When sound advice is sought, he is ever the sagest of counsellors. When bountiful grace is needed, he is ever a powerful intercessor. Though it is impossible to enumerate Archbishop Cushing’s many kindnesses to Merrimack College, it is possible to thank him for those bounties. Thus it is with filial love, deep esteem, and ever mounting appreciation that we thank and ask God’s blessing upon Archbishop Cushing. The memhers of the National Federation of Catholic College Students prepare their correspondence to representative groups in the Federation. The activity of the young women of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Merrimack is that directed to encour- age the spirit of cooj)eration and con- trihution. Near the living presence of Christ mem- hers of the Sanctuary Society help out before the celehration of Mass. Instruction and example are sought and seen in the person of tlie Rev. John M. Driscoll, O. S.A., the College Chaplain. The student body draws close to Christ at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. ' With INH0N09 0F mmsmoomt lYMSmUNb JMMUSHUMH The students l)cgin the school year in a spirit of recollection hy attending a three day retreat conducted hy the Augustinian Fathers. Supreme Blessings The role which religion plays in the student’s life at Merrimack College is that of sanctifying his activity. This is accomplished in part by the student beginning each class with a renewed intention of performing his work in and through Christ. Greater intensification of his dedicated work is gained by frequent reception of the Sacraments and by attendance at Mass and Benediction. Through such activity the student cultivates the good life. Every aspect of this full life is foreseen and provided fo r by the College, whose directors encourage participation in the Holy Name and Cana Societies and in the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Growth is a sign of life. The material growth is but an outward manifestation of the vigorous spiritual energy present at Merrimack. The powerhouse which generates this energy is the living presence of Jesus Christ in the chapel. Here the student ponders the past, considers the present, and plans the future. Here the student learns from Christ the Teacher the road which leads to heaven. It is the fervent prayer of all associated with Merrimack College that the next ten years, her “Second Spring”, will enable her to nurture more fully the youth of this valley in the ageless precepts of the Catholic Church. . . . nmm CLim The “grand dame” of all social organizations at Merrimack College is the Choral Society. Since its inception eleven years ago, the society has enlarged the cultural scope of its mem- bers through the study of group music, classical and popular, church and secular. The product of these efforts is exhibited at numerous concerts at school, at hospitals and sanitariums, and at performances before private and social gatherings. Should the Union Shop be declared illegal? That is the ques- tion. Bill Hegarty and Gerry Giarrusso vigorously oppose such a measure while their opponents check carefully the arguments. Pat, Art, Hugh, and Rollie must approve of President Steve Welch’s suggestions. After all, harmony is the basic requirement for every choral group. Actual debating is hut one phase of forensic endeavor. Bird-dogging and the proper arrange- ment of materials are the necessary pre-requi- sites for good debaters. “Quis cantet, bis oratT With all eyes on their director.

Student Council clerical work and Campus Fund collections — no fun hut so necessary. The Student Council at Merrimack College is the mediator between faculty and student. Comprised of five seniors, three juniors, and one sophomore, it con- venes weekly to alleviate many of the burdens of the administration. It carries out disciplinary regulations, supervises the Student Traffic Commission, and man- ages class elections. It also oversees extracurricular activities, aiding each organization to realize its true function. Monthly, each club is required to submit a 80 financial statement and report, thus enabling the Stu- dent Council to assist it in maintaining its activity and student interest. Every freshman at Merrimack is acutely aware of the Student Court, co-ordinated as it is with the Orientation Committee that acquaints him with college life during his first uncertain weeks here. With the greatest diplomacy, the Student Coun- cil maintains the delicate balance between the administration and the student body. “I’ll teach YOU to ])ark in iny lot,” says Profes- sor M., and the only one who keeps smiling is the student council “traffic cop.” The Student Council meets formally once a week to discuss and determine issues which arise under student government.

Through the combined efforts of its advisors, officers, and members the Accounting Society has gained new prominence among the clubs at Merri- mack this year. It fulfills its purpose of supplementing formal learning with practical experience through frequent meetings with practicing accountants and field trips. Such a background in accounting has proved a valuable asset to many graduates of the Society. The Business Club enables students major- ing in economics, business administration, marketing, accounting, and secretarial science to keep step with current trends and major problems in the business world. It is connecte d with the Student . merican Marketing Associ- ation which presents the Hutchinson Memorial . ward to the most promising marketing stu- dent at its annual spring conference. . . .

The caduceus, Hermes’ staff, is symbolic of the physician. Merri- mack College has borrowed the emblem. The Caducean Club promotes interest in biology, capturing the interest of our most able pre-meds and medical technicians. Guest speakers and field trips assist the members to gain valuable knowledge that will help them greatly in their future work. Innoculating new cultures of bacteria and studying minute organisms under a micro- scope are essential teebniques acquired by every biologist. . . . mUM MU The Benzene Ring is the Merrimack College chem- ical society. Participation in the affairs of national chemical societies gives the members practical scien- tific experience. Regular meetings, and excursions to neighboring plants and laboratories lends added impetus to their plans for the future. Future chemists acquire proficiency in tbe metbod of obtaining crystals. Members of the Benzene Ring graphically demonstrate the theory used in the produetion of ether. The cartoon is one of the most essential features of every newspaper. Here, Art Editor Donald Dewsnap shows how a far-reaching and highly complex prob- lem can he summarized through this concise and entertaining medium. 1957-1958 was a decisive year for the Merrimack Warrior. David DeNuccio, taking William McCann’s place as Editor-in-Chief in December, added to the improvements initiated by his predecessor. The creation of new staff offices and the elimination of others have combined efficiency and speed in the monthly publications. The zeal of the editors, as well as the acquisition during the year of national adver- tising, has made the paper larger and more self-sup- porting. The eye-catching pictures and development of themes by using whole pages of pictures were the outstanding contributions of Photography Editor John Parent and his successor, Frank Leone. Through its news articles, feature stories, pictures, and editorials, the Warrior has maintained the stand- ards not only of a college newspaper, but a Catholic one as well. The new Editor, David DeNuccio, tries out the editor’s chair for size, looking forward eagerly to a very promising year. Photographer Frank Leone, knowing that pictures brighten the Warrior and heighten interest in it, explains his picture-page layout. 84 The now Associate Editors of the JT nrrior with Editor DeNuccio look over the latest edition, alrea ly glanc- iiif: ahead to the next issue, for the paper is the result of their advance planning and close teamwork. Its primary function, relating the news, has been carried through with but one thought in mind — to proclaim the truth. Every major event and news- worthy story was exploited by the staff of the Warrior so that all students would have accurate, detailed information of the happenings on campus. The Warrior has also opened its columns for the presentation of original student writings. During the year it has published several short stories, poems, guest editorials, and monthly features, giving an excellent outlet for aspiring authors and a healthy incentive for others. The Warrior has recognized the part that it must play as a traditional, corporate, and vital organ of Merrimack College. The rare quiet in the cafeteria and rows of students deeply absorbed in the paper on the day that it comes out attest greatly to its worth. William McCann ' s pensive attitude shows that the writing of editorials, to he effective, is hrain-teasing and pains- taking work; thoughts of revision, dead- lines, over-due assignments, supervision, pasting up the dummy — all interfere wi th h is concentration.

The 193$ Early in the Spring of 1957, a serious challenge to uphold tradition confronted the forthcoming senior class. The issue at stake concerned the success of the 1958 Merrimackan. Being determined to achieve the goal, we rallied to the cause, thus beginning the first steps of fruitful activity. The formation of a gifted staff started the ball rolling, for eventful ideas and potential plans. central theme was then adopted, and gradually each section developed into a significant part of the whole. Before long, all efforts were con- centrated toward a meticulous molding of the awkward “dummy.” In this presentation of our annual we have at- tempted to bind between its covers a pictorial and literary panorama of the essential elements which have thus far contributed to the educational heritage, to our heritage, here at Merrimack College. This has been accomplished chiefly through the utilization of creative minds working harmoniously, the untiring instruction and guidance of the faculty, and the gen- erous financial assistance of our many benefactors, so necessary to a major publication. Now, with the transposition of the final impression into print, another success shall be« recorded in the pages of our history. Bill Maloney — our tireless editor — pon- lers over a final piece of copy before completion of the duniniy. Smiles reflect the happy result of long hours of hard work — the 1958 Merriniackan.

LITER AKY (ailLD . . . Supplementing the textbook knowledge of the class- room with the formalities of social conventions, the Secretarial Science Club seeks to provide an oppor- tunity for the students to acquire a certain finesse in dealing with people, which will be an asset in future work. Social events such as the Fashion Show spon- sored by the Club help to develop the poise required of any secretary. The Literary Guild was formed for the purpose of furthering cultural and aesthetic appreciation of the great literature of the world. The activities of the club include attendance at plays, ballets, and concerts. Also featured are guest speakers, record sessions of various authors, and the private discussion of noteworthy works of literature. The Guild holds bi-monthly meet- ings in the evening. The officers of the Guild dis- cover that building an Eliza- bethan theatre can he as intriguing as studying the lit- erature of the period. Part of a Literary Guild meet- ing is devoted to listening to jioetry records, followed by a lengthy discussion of the poem’s theme. . . . PlilNKMUAIIi (illllJI Named in memory of the late Dean of Engineering, the Crawford Engineering Guild promotes the social and academic life of the engineers of the college. The Guild is noted for its forums, which feature speakers prominent in the field of engineering or one of the allied sciences, and for its Transit Trot — considered one of the highlights of the fall social season. In its endeavor to arouse interest in government and to promote fuller participation in political affairs, the Young Democrats Club sponsors periodic meetings at which major political issues are discussed and at which men prominent in local politics are invited to speak. The Club hopes to inspire among students a healthy attitude toward the science of government and the profession of politics.

The Sociology Club at Merrimack College fosters interest in the social aspects of contemporary society. One of its functions is to bring speakers before the students, who present the opportunities in the field and bring to the student a greater appreciation of the scope of the work being done.

S.B.K. — Sigma Beta Kappa — is Merrimack College’s first fraternity. It establishes a solid foundation of true friendship among the members and fosters development of character and campus leadership in the “broth- ers” by instilling in them a strong sense of Christian morality. The executive hoard of Sigma Beta Kappa — J. Hackney, J. Nahil, M. Dowe, P. Kiernan, W. Gemmell — plans the carnival week-end. Complying with his lowly status, pledge A1 Whiry attends to one of the regu- lations by acquiring the signature of member Paul Kiernan.

MUSIC CLUB The Music Club, one of the newer activities on campus, has gained an enthusiastic group of followers. Pro- viding both an educational and recre- ational outlet for advocates of music, the club gives its members an oppor- tunity to. expand their knowledge through record sessions, interclub lectures, and concerts. Bach or Brubcck? The Music Club members may never agree on specific tastes, but discussion is alwavs welcome. On-Skgers In the Spring of 1957 the “On-stagers,” Merrimack College’s ten-year-old dramatic society, presented Playboy oj the Western World, an Irish comedy in three acts by John M. Synge. Under the direction of Rev. Francis X. Smith, O.S.A., the members of the cast became the simple peasants of Kilakeen, whose lives were upset by the sudden arrival of a mysterious stranger whom they believed to be a hero. The culmination of many weeks of untiring effort on the part of Father, the actors, and the crew, it was greatly enjoyed by all who attended either of the performances. Jim McCIoskcy scoffs at the cowardice of Martha Robert ' s country sweetheart, Skip Graczvk, to the amusement of his friends. “To think ' twas me own son that hit me!” Jimmv Malone strikes at jNorm Camphell as the startled villagers look on. Howio Goodrow discovers Dan Mullicrii as HofTv lyiiif; unconscious across the table after a merciless l)eatin ' admin- istered i)y the Germans. The Fall offering of the “On-stagers” was the comedy-melodrama by Donald Joseph Bevan and Edmund Trzeinski, Stala 17. A moving story of the boredom and loneliness endured by prisoners during World War II, it takes place in a German prison camp, where mounting tensions are complicated by antag- onism which grows among the men due to hatred, suspicion, and Nazi mistreatment. The outstanding performances of the members of the cast, and the finely drawn interpretations of the characters, combined to make Stalag a tremendous success and an excellent tribute to the hard work and determination of the “On-stagers.” I he jokes on you! Ihe German guard drinks his wine, unaware of the disastrous implications hidden in the men ' s laughter. “Fin Irish!” Hank Widmer, as Animal, jokingly tells the Geneva Man while his fellow prisoners laugh and German officers watch. Dick Seguin gets into character as the surly Sefton before the curtain goes up on opening night. Laying one in over the outstretched hand of a Tech defender, Art Pringle shows that more than height is needed to prevent his scoring. Basketball- witk anxi aad 6 fieed , . . As the Merrimack Warriors faced the 1957-1958 bas- ketball schedule, Coach Kevin Harrington, in his third year as hoop mentor, anticipated a successful season. Strengthened by a nucleus of returning veterans and able freshman prospects, the Warriors sought to provide a tenacious defense to accompany an already capable offense. The team, sparked by the cheering of the faithful knot of spectators who followed its progress devotedly, had spirit and determination. In defeat, as well as in victory, these qualities, combined with a keen sense of sportsman- ship, were the distinctive marks of the Warriors. % ' m Co -captain Chuck Mitchell displays his re- hounding ability as he attempts to recover a loose hall. Time out! — Coach Harrington gets a chance to outline his strategy for the next period to his attentive players. I ‘ ' Come on. Merrimack, get that rebound!

Don Dewsnap, constant threat to goalies and high scorer of the team, smiles as he lifts a slap shot to score. Joe MeColgan, aecompanied by Larry O ' Keefe, begins his sweep around the opposing defense to register another goal for Merrimack. Hoping to score that winning point, A1 Whiry and Jim Foley, witli racquets ready, quickly charge the net to assume that all important offensive position. Tennis Always displaying the highest sportsmanship, the Merrimack College Tennis Team has challenged, met, and defeated some of the leading colleges in the area. The team, fighting its way to a 6-2 season, has com- piled an impressive 20-5 record over the past three years. With the addition of the new tennis courts, the popularity of the sport has had a great resurgence on campus, and has encouraged a larger following for the team, whose players bring with them to the courts a deep and perpetual mark of the gentleman, as well as the talent, spirit and fine play that has led to its many achievements during the past season.

W ill he make it around the end or will his men hold that line firm? Ifllra-niural Foolball Early in the fall semester, the grassy fields across the campus are the scenes of much football activity. Scores of boys and many faculty members may be found playing at noon-time and after classes. The play-offs heighten interest and make intramural football one of the most popular sports at Merrimack. Ski-nirrs Every winter, the snow-covered slopes of the White Moun- tains beckon to the Merrimack College Ski-Mers, the campus organization designed to encourage students in skiing. The ski trip, the club’s major undertaking, attracts scores of stu- dents yearly, and helps to create an even larger group of devotees to this exciting and envigorating sport. Judy Sullivan and A1 Marley pause for a rest after a fast run. That block doesn’t look strong enough to keep him hack. 100 Inlra-ninral Raskctball This may not ])e the best position to shoot from, hut the point is to score. November heralds the opening of the intramural basketball season. The fourteen teams that comprise the league compete during the year for the championship. This season, the loop had the largest, ablest membership in its history, as veterans and new players combined to strengthen the teams and tighten the standings. Intramural basket- ball, requiring both mental and physical coordination, has become an integral part of Merrimack’s sports program. Tennis Clnli The slap of a racquet against a tennis ball early in May is a sign that the annual Tennis Club tournament has begun. Since its intoduc- tion in 1951, the club has increased steadily in membership, and both beginners and ex- perts participate in its many activities. Planning precedes playing for Tennis Club members when Spring beckons. Who will get that opening tap as another intra-mural game gets under way? Junior Week — 1957 — The first day in May saw the class of 1958 embark on its long-awaited Junior Week, the tradi- tional time of celebration commemorating the dawning of seniority upon the junior class. Across seven fun-crammed days sparkled the laughter, the liveliness, the intense excite- ment that belongs to youth alone. These are the gay and joyous memories that will last for as long as we remember — our happy days here at Merrimack College. SlPilY “FiK ' idtv and fellow students . . .“ The Senior Charge is delivered with inueh poinp and eireiinistanee to an audienee of unusually solemn juniors. Week On Monday morning, the junior class gath- ered with the rest of the student body on the quad. There Jack Burns, aided by class dig- nitaries, did the honors in the time-honored tree-planting ceremony, while his classmates realized that their big week had finally arrived. That’s gone,” mutters Mr. McGravey. The juniors made up for the tug-of- war defeat hy teaching the faculty a little about softhall. There was no hugle to sound “colors,” hut due military for- mality accompanied the raising of the class gift on high! The Junior “grunt and groan s |uad” in action. All that con- centrated effort and it went to a losing cause. Oh well, you can ' t win them all the time! The winners — on the distaff side. Chairman Joe Liss must aj)prove! Tiesdm Tuesday — Sports Day. On the third day, all solemnity vanished as the Juniors gave exhibition of their gymnastic prowess to the laughing spectators. Across the fields of the campus rang the shouts of our stalwart ath- letes, as the less ambitious members of the class cheered them on. The class tug-of-war, races, and ball games left tired Juniors groan- ing with aches and pains the next day. On Monday afternoon, we had something else planned. The place: Sullivan Hall Plaza; the speaker: Louise Pothier, Merrimack Ca- reer Girl of 1957, and our Class Day Or ator. In her capable hands rested the privilege of delivering the Senior Charge — the symbolic transfer of senior responsibility to the Junior Class. 0 Initial event of the evening — the first animal blessing of the class rings — symbol of onr posi- tions as future INIerriinack ' graduates. Did someone mention food? Not that you d notice! And there was actually enough for all! WEIIMSIliV Parent ' s Night — mid-point in a busy, fun- hlled week. Highlight of the evening’s program was the first annual Ring Ceremony in the College Chapel. Our class moderator, Rev. Francis X. Smith. O.S.A., presided over the blessing of the blue-stoned rings, symbols of our senior status. Later, in the auditorium, Mother and Dad ruled the day as their sophis- ticated sons and daughters entertained them in splendid style. The junior thespians take to the stage with their version of “School Daze.” Poor Mother and Dad — we could over- hear them muttering, “This is college life?” There were many unanswerable questions when we arrived home. For once the tables are turned. Dad is on the receiving end this time as he accepts the mnch appreciated cigar. TllllKSIIilY all til . I ' rwcrs P ' ' y for Tnori’ ,151 Of ' ic ' : Thursday— Co- F:d’s Day— saw the Junior girls take the school by storm. Strolling across the campus, sporting the traditional white carnations, they stressed their place in class, activities, and socialization here at Merrimack, and reminded the student body that co-eds are an important and integral part of life at the college. Where were the boys in the meantime? — hard at work in the auditorium, frantically putting up last minute decorations. The prom was almost upon us. The finishing touch — the tradi- tional white carnation. Jane and Miini smile as they assume the unmistakable markings of a junior co-ed. Friday Finally — the culmination of a week of unceasing activity, the Junior Prom. Here was the grand result of a long year of planning and one last week of frenzied decorating by our many able committee members. Co-chairmen Honora Rourke and Jack Daley watched happily as we waltzed amid “Castles in the Clouds,” and gone were thoughts of studies, exams, and a hundred and one other cares, as, heads in the heavens, we danced . . . and danced . . . and danced! By unanimous vote, the most memorable part of Junior Week was the last minute epidemic of decorating fever. From a chaotic mixture of crepe paper and ladders, cut-outs and paste, brooms and hunting, there somehow emerged the splendor that was the prom. A year of preparation and work is almost over for general chairman Joe Hackney. There is no hiding his expression of pleasure at the excellent results of the week that has passed. Now, on to the dance floor and a wonderful evening with his lovely date. Pnxun. . . The grand march — and the class officers lead the assem- bly in the shadow of our multi-colored clouds. Clothes do make the man — and the girl — don’t they? Meet the chaperons! The presentation of our escorts to the official greeters was a delightful I)eginning to the evening. Prom co-chairmen Jack and Honora sit one out with their dates. Why so tired, Jack — too much decorating? Loup live tlie queen — of the Junior Prom. Lovely Martha Roberts claimed the crown of roses from Bill Foley anti the hearts of all present. Skippy doesn’t look too elated, does he? “. . . and the music goes ’round and ’round . . .” With grace and style, the dancers respond to the music of Ken Reeves and his orchestra. Time out while the hand swings and then, hack to the dance floor, for the evening is drawing to a close. Then, we’re off to the Rendez-vous for our aftcr-prom party — Lead the wav, Ro and Bill! In reinenihraiicc of a splendid evenin ; — Ray fastens the Dinner Danee souvenir on Erie ' s wrist. The tiny, engraved liracelet, given to each of the girls in attendance, will long he a ineinento of that May evening. Dinner Dance— the end of Junior Week was drawing near. Tired juniors called upon the last reserve of youth’s abounding energy to gather at Boston’s Sherry-Biltmore Hotel for the glittering Dinner Dance— final event of our glorious week. Waltzing hours away, juniors agreed the Din- ner Dance lived up to its reputation as the affair of the year. Frank and his date survey the marquee before going upstairs for the evening’s festivities. “Dinner is served” in the Grand Ball- room of the Sherry-Biltmore. No one needs any urging to enjoy that wonder- ful dinner. I I a4ice Sparkling girls came into the ball- room on the arms of their beaming escorts. That little world was our oyster and we made the most of it. After six hours of dining and dancing, we still found it difficult to end that glowing, memorable — Junior Week, 1957. SilTllRDAY It’s only a momentary pause for chairman Bill Maloney and his wife, then I)ack to the dance floor ’til the clock strikes mid- night. ;aaM June the seventh, nineteen hundred and fif- ty-seven . . . the seventh Commencement of lerrimack College — the end of one career, the beginning of another. With the donning of the hood, the black-garbed graduate became vividly aware that college life, with its mixture of laughter and formality, gaiety and deter- mined study, was a thing of the past. Only then did he realize the true worth of his Cath- olic education, an education which, by its very nature, gave him a basis whereby he may not only fit into his community, but, more im- portantly, be upon it a beneficial influence. May he always appreciate it, may he always revere the foundation it has given him for the future that looms before him. Archbishop Richard J. Cushing. D.D., friend and benefactor of Merrimack College, extends sincere congratulations and sound advice to tlie graduates. Representing his classmates, the valedictorian, Richard Acaly, bids farewell to his Alma Mater; his words receive the attention of all. The Very Reverend Vincent A. McQuade, O.S.A., Ph.D., President of Merrimack College. Assisted by Father McQuade, Archbishop Cushing awards a diploma to one of the graduates. Following this ccremonv, the class marches solemnly down the aisle to meet the future that awaits them. A large gathering witnesses the seventh annual commencement of Merrimack College, for the seniors the culmination of four years of intensive study and their formal entrance as a class into the honored ranks of the alumni. COMHENCEHPT Waiting to greet those they helped to acquire a college education are the proud parents and friends of the graduates. Mixed emotions acompany the return of the graduation rohes; joyfulness is tempered hy nostalgia for college days left behind.
