Antoinette, although slight ofstature, has taught us to realize that genius is not measured by size. A real student, she labored untiringly in all lines of scholastic endeavor and especially in the sciences. Her aspirations are directed towards a medical career where wc trust she will prove henself as purposeful and proficient as she did while here among us and will by her ultimate success win fresh laurels for her Alma Mater. M.VRGARET Mary B. ' Xrtley, A.B. 332 Haverhill .Street Lawrence, Massachusetts Students ' .Spiritual Ciouncil 1 . 2, 3.4; Sacred Heart I, 2, 3; Foreign Mission .Society i, 2, 3, 4: Der Deut.sche Verein Reading Club i, 2, 3; Vice Presi- dent 3, President 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3. 4; Cilee Club I, 2; Louis Pasteur Club 3; . thletic . ssocia- tion 1,2,3, 4- Peggy is possessed ofan engaging friendly manner, that will always win for her a host of friends. Her enthusiasm is boundless. It extends equally to library science, where she is a pioneer major student and to the athletic field, where she e.xercises marked prowess. We hope that time will never rob Peggy of this faculty and that she will tackle life’s more serious problems with that same characteristic vigor. 38 Mary Lucille Bowen, A.B. 30 Park Street Lynn, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i. 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3. 4: Der Deutsche V ' erein i, 2; Reading Club i; Dramatic Club 3, 4: Glee Club i; Ethelon Club 4: Junior Week Committee; Athletic Association i, 2, 3 - 4 - Alter even the briefest of encounters, one feels that she has always known and liked Mary. Perhaps the secret lies in her con- versational skill, for everywhere, even in the classroom, it is impossible to withstand her intriguing manner of expression or to remain unmoved when confronted with her sparkling wit and droll sophisti- cation. Here it is that she has al- ways proved the most entertaining and del ightful of companions. Whatever the future may hold, Mary’s inimitable charm will carry her triumphantly through life. Ruth Gertrude Bradley, A.B. 1 1 Parker Street Maynard, Massachusetts ■Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4; .Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3: Foreign Mission .Society i, 2, 3, 4; Student Government 3, Treasurer 3; Sigma Fau Phi 3, 4; Der Deutsche V’erein i, 2, 3, 4; Dra- matic Club I, 2: Louis Pasteur Club 3, 4, .Secretary 3, V ice-President 4; Lthelon Club 4; .Athletic Asso- ciation 1 , 2, 3, 4. Ruth is a quiet, unassuming student who has not missed a class in four years. An enviable record to have and to hold! She also enjoys the distinction of having re- ceived honorable mention in an Atlantic Monthly Essay Contest. History is her specialty and she is well informed in its every phase. Always obliging and consid- erate of others, she cannot help having many friends as she passes through life. 39 Mary Kstf.i.i.k Burke, A.B. 8() Boring Road Winthrop, Massacliusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4, ' ice-l’resi- dent 4; Sacred Heart League 1, 2, 3; Foreign Mis- sion Society i, 2, 3, 4; Photographic liditor of the Mount Rkcis; l)er Deutsche V ' erein i, 2; Reading Club 1, 2, 3: Dramatic Club 4; Kthelon Club 3, 4. ’ice-President 4; Junior Week Committee; Ath- letic Association i, 2, 3. 4. Unite scholastic zeal and social activity in the proper proportion, and the result is Mary. Merry or serious as the occasion de- mands, she has an earnestness of pnrpost ' that is evident in all her pursuits. One of her favorite pastimes is the collection of old and beautiful jewelry with its accompany- ing history and romance. Distinctly mo- dish attire adds a final touch to her charm. When Mary’s dreams of travel are rea- lized, her characteristic simplicity and naivete will undoubtedly win deserving love and e.steem. M. ry Ruth Bur.n’s, A.B. 8 Marathon Street Arlington, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council 1, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3, 4; Der Deutsche Verein i, 2; Reading Club i, 2, 3, 4; Ethelon Cilub 3, 4; .Athletic .A.ssociation i, 2, 3, 4 - For information, here is the young lady to approach. No matter what the topic, Marv will surely come to your assistance. Possessing a keen sense of humor, she is always ready to see the amusing side of a situation, (five her any subject, and she will expound on it at length; but question her concerning her private life, and her tongue is mute. 40 Rose Ellen Caputo, B.S.S. 1 66 1 Commonwealth Avenue Brighton, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4: Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3. 4; Secretarial Club 3, 4; El Circulo Espanol 3, 4; Le Cenacle Litteraire i ; Ethleon Club 4; Glee Club I ; Athletic Association 1,2,3, 4 - A carefree creature, with a tinge of sophistication and pertness. Rose dances through life with a festive air. She has definite ideas concerning her likes and dis- likes, and forcibly insists, with an im- patient stamp of her foot, that they be re- garded. She is the first to subscribe her name to any party in the process of organ- ization, for fun-making is her delight. It appears that she has already found the hidden charter to happiness! Dorothy M.arie Col. iH.vn, A.B. 73 Bynner Street Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts Students ' Spiritual Council i, 2, 3,4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3, .Secretary 3; Foreign Mission .Society i, 2, 3, 4; Editor-in-Chief of the Mount Regis; Sigma Tau Phi i, 2, 3, 4; President 4; Der Deutsche ’erein i, 2, Vice-President i; Glee Club I : Louis Pasteur Club 3, President 3: Ethelon Club 4; Junior Week Committee; . thletic .Association i , 2, 3 - Dorothy is the honor student of our class, but it is erroneous to think of her as a dull bookworm or thoughtful recluse, for she is the first to join in a merry escapade. She has communed w ' ith Horace, Homer, and Ovid, but has never lost her sense of humor. Dorothy is as much at ease at a Prom as she is at her desk. An untiring worker, she takes an almost childlike enthusiasm in everything she undertakes. In recognition of her literary ability, she was elected editor-in-chief of the Mount Regis. 4 ' Mary Nancy Condon, B.S.S. 50 Kxcter Street Lawrence, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, a, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, a, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, a, 3. 4; Secretarial Club 3, 4, President 4; El Circulo tispanol 3, 4; Le Coiacle Litteraire 1, a: Reading Club i; Fithelon Club 4; Glee Club i; Junior Week Committee; Athletic Association i, a, 3. Mary Nancy is naive, cheerful, com- panionable, and ever willing to lend a lielping hand. She is the baby of the class, a title which her bewitching mannerisms amply justify. .Soon she will be performing the duties of an efficient secretary, and proving to her business associates that she is the sincere and loyal friend which we have found her to be. Helen M.arie Cronin. A.B. 64 Central Street Wellesley, Massachusetts .Students ' .Spiritual Council i. 2, 3, 4; .Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mi.ssion .Society i, 2, 3, 4; Louis Pasteur Club 4; Fithelon Club 3, 4; Sigma Tau Phi 4; .Athletic As.sociation i , 2, 3, 4. Helen is ever calm and imruflled. Few of us have ever heard her say much, but her work proves to us that her silence is golden. The demure, young lady from Wellesley never volunteers information regarding her particular likes and dislikes. Quietly and unobtrusively she treads the even tenor of her way, but we have always felt that she is trulv one of us. 42 Esther Terese Donohoe, A.B- 408 High Street Lowell, Massachusetts Students ' Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4: Sacred Heart League 1, 2, 3; Reading Club 2, 3; Dramatic Club I, 4; Ethelon Club 3,4, Treasurer 4; Le Cenacle Litteraire 1,2: Lire Squad 3; Class Treas- urer I, 2, 3, 4; Junior Week Committee; Subscrip- tion Manager of the Mount Regis; Athletic Asso- ciation 1 , 2, 3, 4. Life for Esther will never be monoton- ous. She is like an April sky, now bright, now foreboding, but loveable withal. The keynote to her personality, however, is generosity of the noblest variety which renders her happiest when doing for others. Underneath a sparkling, spontaneous wit, there runs a strain of seriousness and at- tendant literary ability. Being endowed with an analytical mind, Esther has the rare ability of sifting the chaff from the wheat, ancl because of this gift, we feel she will never miss the real values in life. M. rg.a.ret Alice Donov.a.n, A.B. 87 Washington Street Newton, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission .Society i, 2, 3, 4; Patron Solicitor of the Mount Regis; Le Cenacle Litteraire i, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Class .Secretary i, 2, 3, 4; Chairman of Junior Week Committee; . thletic Association i, 2, 3, 4. I think we will most remember “Mar- gie” for her gentle knowing smile. It is her answer to all cjueries, and her most char- acteristic comment. Because of her out- standing efficiency and assurance she was elected Chairman of our Junior Prom. Hence, to her is due much of the glory of that unforgettable event. The meticulous- ness with which she has kept the minutes of our class for these four years is likewise praiseworthy. Fortunate will be the indus- trial president whom she deigns to honor with her secretarial assistance after her graduate work at Miss Gibbs’. 43 Edna Frances Dunn, A.B. 31 Lyndliurst Street Dorchester, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2 , 3, 4; Sacrec Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2 3, 4; Student Ciovernment i, 2, 4, President 4; Sig ma Tan Phi 2, 3, 4; Der Deutsche Vercin i, 2: Dramatic Club i, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 4; Louis Pas- teur Club 3, 4; Freasurer 3, 4: Ethelon Club 3, 4; Glee Cilub 1,2; Fire Sciuad 4; Athletic Association I, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 3. Courage, dignity and grace, coupled with generosity, sincerity, and reliability, are the outstanding constituents of Edna’s remarkable character with which she has accomplished almost superhuman feats. Equally efficient as an organizer, much of the success of the Student Ciooperative Ciovernment may be attributed to Edna who, through her untiring efforts, has given evidence of her loyalty to the faeulty and to the students. Notwithstanding her many duties, few have superseded her in scholastic achievements. Dorothy Conger Dunn, B.S. 221 Metropolitan Avenue Roslindale, Massachusetts .Studciits’ .Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4: Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3, 4; .Sacred Heart I.eague 2, 3: Louis Pasteur Club 3, 4; Ftbclon Club 4: Read- ing Club 3, 4; Home Economics Club 2, 3, 4; .Sec- retary 2, 3; Dramatic Club 4; Home Economics Reprc.sentative in Detroit 1931 ; Junior Week Ctmi- mittee; .Athletic .Association 1,2,3. Dorothy is highly energetic, clever, skilled in the culinary art, and a thor- oughly capable ecjuestrienne. She has a bright, carefree disposition, and a distinct tendency to argumentation on any and all topics. Dorothy has convictions; further- more, she is enthusiastic about them, ffer generosity is unforgettable, and her vivac- ity, a salient feature. 44 Dorothy Fennell, A.B. 1 1 6 Russett Road West Roxbury, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Ciouncil i, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3. 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Ethelon Club 3, 4; Class V ice-President 2, 3, 4; Junior Week Commit- tee; Athletic Association i, 2, 3. With her smile, and charm, her deliglit- ful personality and ready blushes, we could never forget our fair Dorothy. In her, we find that rare but enviable co-ordination of intelligence with true beauty. As a class officer she has proved herself entirely cap- able and dependable. In social work she will surely succeed, but one knows not whether such activity need be in the Philippines or Alaska. The years alone wi tell, Dorothy! - i.iCE M.xrie Fitzger.ald, A.B. 30 Glen Road Wellesley, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Student Government 4; Der Deutsche Verein i, 2; Secretary 2; Ethelon Club 3, 4; Dramatic Cilub 4; Glee Club 2; Junior Week Committee; .Athletic .Association i, 2. To be perfectly composed on all occa- sions must have been a life long resolution of Alice. She is tall, gracious and every inch the perfect lady. Perhaps that is why those who know her best laugh louder, when without warning, she waxes e.xceed- ingly humorous, preserving the while that same well modulated tone. If anyone would like to know how life can be com- pletely appreciated by a lady let her ask .Mice the secret. Of course she is studious, for less than ninety percent would ruffle her composure, and that would be intol- erable. 45 PaI LINE ClORINNE FlTZSIMMONS, B.S. 196 Chestnut Street Chu ' dner, Massachusetts Students ' Spiritual Counril i. 2, 3. 4; Sacred Heart League i. 2, 3: Foreign Mission Societv i, 2, 3. 4; Home liconomics Club i, 2, 3, 4; Cilee Cilub i ; Athletic Association 1,2,3. 4 - Sunny, ftin-loving Pauline with imps of mischief dancing in her eyes, has scattered laughter all along her way. As she lightly dances in the foyer so, too, does she caper merrily about the gynmasittm. Truly, she is cjucen of basketball, and a jolly com- jxmion as well. Her happy-go-hteky nature is the outgrowth of her sincere friendliness and even temperament. Teres.a Eee.vnor Fl. herty, A.B. 32 Hartz Street (doucester, Massachusetts .Students’ .Spiritual Council i, 2. 3. 4; .Sacred Heart League 1, 2. 3: F ' oreign Mission .Society 1, 2, 3, 4, President 4: .Student Government 3, 4; .Sigma ' Fan Phi. 3. 4: Cilee Club i, 2; Louis Pasteur Cilub 3. 4: Reading Cdub i. 2:, Junior Week Committee; . thletic - ssociation 1,2,3. 4- Enthusiastic, smiling, and lovable, Ter- esa is welcomed, even when she rings the Mass bell in the wee hours of the morning. Who could eptestion her generosity with that spacious tin box always full of home- made brownies and fig-squares? Teresa rounds out her program well, dividing her time most jitdicioitsly between history and “poet-fencers.” .She seems to display an intimate knowledge of special college mag- azines, and fits exactly into the moods of a yoitthful poet. A Prothalamion” is in the offing for this sea-going lass from Glouces- ter Bay. Esther Ann Flannery, A.B. 26 Green Street Newton, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council 3, 4; Foreign Mission Society 3, 4; Sacred Heart League 3; Der Deutsche Verein 3, 4; Louis Pasteur Club 3, 4; Sigma Tau Phi 4; Athletic Association 3, 4. A certain, good-humored demeanor, liorn, perhaps, of her scientific prowess, characterizes Esther. A merry joke, a hearty laugh, a partiality for the humorous angle of a situation adroitly balances the more serious, studious nature of this scientist. As a pleasing alloy of chemist and jester, she will always be remembered. Mary ' E. Foi.ey, A.B. 547 Maple Street Manchester, New Hampshire .Sttidents’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4; .Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission .Society i, 2, 3, 4; .Assistant lidtior of the Mount RECtis: Le Clenacle Litteraire i, 2; Reading Cdub i, 2, 3: Ethelon Club 4: Fire .Squad 4; .Athletic .As.sociation I, 2, 3. A compendium of student, artist, littera- tetir and companion is Mary. Because cjf her unassuming nature, she is inclined to work unostentatiously but steadfastly. Versatility is her strong point, whether manifested in an artistic sketch, a fragment of poetry, a scholarly thesis, or a witty comment. Quiet an d unobtrusive though she seems, Mary has a tenacity of ])urpose that never fails to attain its goal. A glimpse into her personality reveals her love for objects which are mellowed with age, yet that would hardly explain her fondness for antique rings. In seeking the worthwhile, Mary will surely rise above the ordinary things of life. 47 Margaret Josephine Chvren, B.S.S. 31 Higliland Terrace Brockton, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Ck)uncil 3, 4, Secretary 4; Sacred Heart League 3: Foreign Mission Society 3,4; Assistant Ad ertising Manager of the MottNT Rr- cas; Secretarial CHub 3, 4; Id Circuit) Espaiiol 3, 4: Rtliclon Club 4; Glee Club 3, 4; I’hilomel 4; Ath- letic Association 3. Junior Year hrouglit tliis hajipy addi- tion to the class of ’33. For some time we thought Iter shy and retiring, but we learned later, to our delight, that her merry smile and twinkling eyes betokened a very sociable personality imbued with an abundance of ‘’joic de vivre.” She takes the part of business woman and hostess, with ec|ual charm and ability. Life is calling her to play both roles. May she bring to each the graciousness that is hers.

She is a singularly talented girl, po,s.sessing ability for dramatics as well as a charming voice. .She will be remembered for her e.xcellent portrayal of the leading role in “Eager Fleart” and “As You Like It.” •As President of the Glee Club, Florence has inspired its members with a spirit of true harmony. In years to come, let tts hope that her sweet disposition, and her inordinate sense of fair j lay will merit her lasting happiness and success. 48 Margaret Mary CiRiPFiN, B.S. 243 VViljird Street Portsmouth, New Hamjrshire Students ' Spiritual Council i, 2. 3, 4: Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3, 4 ' FIc)ine Lcononiics C-lub 2, 3, 4 Louis Pasteur 3, 4, I ' thelon Cdub 4; Glee Club 1,2; Athletic Associa- tion t , 2, 3. Easy-going Alargaret believes in accejrt- ing life as it is, without question. She is an imperturbable incliviclual, content to fold her hands and serenely wait lor oppor- tunities to come her way, as they inevitably do. As efficient hostess in the tea room, and noteworthy master of the culinarv art. Margaret has displayed her ability in home economics. I ' here is a University of New Hampshire banner in her room, and thereby hangs a tale. K.atherine a.

Crolden-haired Kay is apparently shy and retiring, but upon more intimate acquaintance she proves to be the soul of animation and exuberant joviality. She is affectionate, loyal, sincere, and true. Her manner has attracted many friends. Chief among her interests, at pre.sent, is history, but whether she wall delve more deeply into the subject remains for the fates to decide. 49 Ruth Mary James, A.B. i8i I Beacon Street Brookline, Massacluisetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3, 4; Assistant Advertising Manager of the Mount Rt.ois; Ethelon Club 3, 4; Le Cienacle Littcraire i : Dramatic Cilub 4; Junior Veek Ciotnmittee; Ath- letic Association i, 2, 3, 4. Ruth is small, and there’s a bit of red in her hair but as yet we have never seen her violently perturbed. With fervent ardor she plans her career as a social worker, and is most apt to persuade you to strip ymur clothes closet when she begins to expound on the “dire conditions of the poor.” An- other side of her was manifested as assis- tant advertising manager of the Mount Regis. She dealt dispassionately with all recalcitrant business men. Such appor- tionment of attitudes ought to prove in- valuable in future undertakings.

She is one of our most competent secretaries, possessing a characteristic nonchalance and “savoir faire.” Her terpsichorean skill has ofttimes solved the prolilem of a perplexed enter- tainment committee. We will concede that those Trinity fraternity brothers surely have a genius of appreciation ! .50 Rita A. Lavtn, A.B. 39 Western Avenue Clii ' tondale, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2. 3, 4: Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3, 4: Sigma Tau Phi i, 2, 3, 4: Athletic Association I, 2 , 3- Here is our representative to mathe- matical circles. Rita has delved deeply into the spheres of calculus, and astounded us by her solutions of labyrinthine “orig- inals”. Of course we remember her de- fense of a certain element of citizens in her own home town. We feel sure that if Rita continues to develop her keen analytical propensities Cliftondale will quickly rise to pre-eminence under her tutelage. Catherine Elizabeth McAnally, B.S. 590 Lowell Street Lawrence, Massachusetts .Students’ Spiritual Council 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League 2, 3; Foreign Mis.sion .Society 2, 3, 4; Home Economics Club 2, 3, 4.

A genuine good humor, vivacity and geniality, the accompanying elements of an irresistible laugh are the most identify- ing notes of Kae. Whether it is horses, cooking, chemistry or tea-room manage- ment, Kae is there. Who among us has not felt the warmth and sincerity of her friendship? Truly, she i s possessed of a heart of gold! May she harvest the sun- shine that she has diffused. 5 Doris (Gregory McBride, A.B. 182 Si.

Doris, by reason of her keen seu.se of huniour and her engaging frankness is one of the more pojDular members of the class. Mer scholastic activities have revealed an e.xccj tionally adept mind and a remark- able business acumen. Indeed, we may, in a large measure, attribute the success of the Mount Regis to her untiring and earnest endeavors, as Business Manager. No mat- ter how busy Doris may be she always finds time for a cheery smile and a warm greeting. Her personality will jDrove inval- uable in her future career as journalist where, we know, she will continue to enjoy the prominence of her Regis days.

Marion is quiet and unassuming, but when called upon to give testimony of her knowledge has always ready resource to an abundant supply. Her smile is gentle and her manner is soothing. Her future in- terests seem to be centered around the de- velojjment of a career as dietitian, and the location of such a culinary establishment might well be in Maine. 52 C’l.AiRE E.

Her willingness to lend a helping- hand in all circumstances has made it a joy to work with her. At times, we all know, her heart gives way to a serious legal trend, althotigh hei knowledge of law is confined to hearsay. What is in the stars for Claire, we wonder, the role of lawyer’s help-mate, or that of an erudite librarian? Anne Leonor.a Mich.vud, A.B.

Can this be the little curly haired girl who came to us four years ago, bemoaning the fact that her trunk hadn’t arrived? Unbelievable though it seems, it is. Now .Senior year discloses a young lady, poised, intellectual, enthmsiastic about many things, ready to take her place with the world’s best educators. Yet, her gaiety and her intriguing French accent overshadow her interest in books. 53 Eileen Klizaheth Mulcahv, B.S.S. 26 Wavc ' i ' ly Avenue I .( ) vel 1 , Massach usei ts Stiidfrits’ Si)iritiial Council 1, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3: Foreign Mission Society i, 2. 3, 4: Assistant Husiness Manager of the Mount Rec;is; Kthelon Club 4; Le Cenacle Litleraire i, 2; Secretarial Cilub 3, 4; Reading (llub i; Id Circulo Lspanol 3, 4; .Athletic . ssf)ciation 1,2,3. Loyal, sineere, and airectionate, lliat is Eileen. Quick to flare and quick to repent, she is both loved and loving. Our red- head is a positive personality with strong likes and dislikes. She’s excitable and dynamic, this Eileen, and her room can at almost anytime be converted into an open forum for discussion. That finger of hers has wagged at all of us in turn. Natitral to the end, Eileen has endeared herself to all of us. Ls.auei.e.a ALarg.aret Murphy, .A.B.

Oentle, unassuming Isabella finds pleas- ure chiefly in reading. .As a scholar she manifests intense interest in things hi.s- torical. As an English minor, she meticu- lously completes the ever assigned thesis, ;ifter jmtting majors to shame for negli- gence. As a classmate she is ev ' er eager to a.ssist, and to jdacc at the disposal of others all at her command. We appreciate her true sen.se of values and degree of tenacity in academic progression. 54 Madeline Grace Murphy, A.B. 531 Main Street Hyannis, Mass.

President 4. By these signs yon shall know her! Madeline has been blessed with an ad- mirable ev ' enness of temperament, an interest in all scholastic activities, and a delightful sense of humor. These attri- butes augmented by a wealth of sincerity and understanding have serv’ed to rank her among the more popular class leaders. Her proficiency in athletics, dramatics, and scholarship pave the way for a suc- cessful future. Ruth (L Neelon, B.S.S. 35 County Road Chelsea, Massachusetts Students ' .Spiritual Council 1, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign .Mission 1, 2, 3, 4; Reading Club 2, 3: Dramatic Club i. 2, 4: Secre- tarial Club 3, |: Ethelon Club 4; El Circulo Es- panol 3, 4; Le Cenacle Litteraire 1,2: Glee Club i, 2, 3, 4; Philomel Club 4; Junior Week Committee; . thletic Association i, 2, 3. An animated stride, a merry greeting, and Ruth is with us. Her heart is kindly and generous, and maintains its lively jmlsation, no doubt, by reason of her rapid pace. When she argues or grows excited, iter locptacity is astounding. She loves horses, too, and is justly proud of her own “Black Beauty.” Ruth looks forward to teaching next year, but if no vacancy is available, she will fill the role of experi- enced secretary.

When Betty skips jubilantly down the hall, it means she has just heard from that certain someone. It is singular that she has a peculiar capacity of reaching the highest point of joy and sounding the lowest note of .sadness, all in one day. Betty is not the serious, studious type; apparently, there are things of far greater importance than books. She has become a diligent social worker during her college career, but all indications prove that this is not going to be her life’s labor. Helen Gertrude Quinn, B.S. 2 1 Fuller Street Dorchester, Massachusetts Student.s’ .Spiritual Council t. 2, 3, 4: .Sacred Heart League i, 2. 3, 4: Foreign Mission .Society I, 2, 3, 4; Louis Pasteur Club 3, 4; F ' .thelon Club 4; Home Economics Club 2 , 3, 4; . thletic .Association L 2 , 3- Helen generally arrives on the scene more than a little too late. However, this proves no cause of annoyance to her. .Always a very attentive listener, Helen sometimes astounds us by her cjuery ‘AVhy?” after the tale has been told. A devotee of picnics, parties, and ‘hmiversal day-hopping,” this amusing concocter manages to keep her set of friends busy and interested with a list of her enthusiastic plans. 56 Julie Dean Saunders, A.B. 403 Andov ' er Street Lowell, Massachusetts Students ' Spiritual Council i, 2, 3. 4: Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3, Vice-President 2: I ' oreign Mission Society i. 2, 3, 4: Le Cenacle Litteraire 1, 2: Reading Club i, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club i, 2, 3, 4: Kthelon Club 3, 4; Glee Club i, 2, 3, 4: Philomel Club I, 2, 3, 4; Fire Squad Lieutenant 3, 4; Cilass President i, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Association i, 2. 3, 4. President 3. Our Julie’s smile, and her ability to make friends wherever she goes are only a few reasons for her unparalleled jjopu- larity. In her are found those ciualities of a truly great class President which have guicled our destinies safely and happily through our four years at Regis. Idle can hold only the best for such as Julie. With her persevering nature, her sterling char- acter, her overwhelming largeness ol spirit, we know that her future endeavors will be along the road of success. Mildred H.

Nonchalant, witty, the instigator of many a merry plot, Mildred has an un- limited supply of happy ideas. She has accpiired the reputation of being one of the most generous and resourceful mem- bers of the class. Whenever there is typing to be done, Mildred is there, ready and willing. She has taken a genuine interest in business activities, and lias proven herself to be an ardent and dependable worker. 57 Ri ' tm Agn es Sui.i.ivan, A.B. 17 Bently Street Brighton, Xhissaehusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4 Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3. 4; Cilee Club i. 2, 3, 4; Foreign Mission Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Philomel i. 3. 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3; Fire Squad 3, 4, Lieutenant 3, 4; Le Cienaclc Litteraire 1.2: Athletic Association ' , 2 , 3 , 4 - Diligent, eonscientious, serenely con- fident in all she does. Ruth is a Spartan in the performance of duty. Despite her blushes, she assumes an air of elaborate unconcern when confronted with members of the opposite se.x. Ruth is one of those blessed beings, who seldom worries, and casts all care to the winds. In accordance with this placidity, she never becomes agitated, even when told that “her ink is too faint.

Hartford sent us this jolly young op- timist in our Sojthomore year. Her de- lightful scn.se of humor, as well as her dramatic ability won for her the part of Touchstone in the Commencement drama, “As Voti Like It.’’ As evidence of her ver- satility, she has fulfilled faithfully her duties as President of the German Club, and has been especially active in the field of biological experimentation. 58 Helen Mary Walsh, A.B. 58 Borden Street New Bedford, Massachusetts Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4: Sacred Heait League i, 2, 3: Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3, 4; Art Editor of the Mount Regis; Reading Club 3; Athletic Club 1,2. Wholly unannounced, Helen’s artistic gift flashed upon us, and we found that her ability was something of which our class might well be proud. Not confined to one pursuit, Helen also possesses literary skill. In tribute to her talents we made her the art editor of the Mount Regis and the composer of the class will. She is blessed with humor of a dry, subtle type. Who has read her impromptu verse without appre- ciation? Though she apparently views the world with an indifferent air, she misses nothing in it. Originality, thy name Helen! MaRG.VRET M.

Her untiring efforts to help others, together with her versatile nature will prove valuable in the achievement of ultimate renown. Despite the fact that she is a conscientious student, Mae still manages to devote many hotirs to entertaining us with her musical and artis- tic abilities. Because of her accomplish- ments in the biological field, Washington beckons her to a place in its vast scheme. 59 CuRIS ' IIN?: ZuHAITIS, A.B. 331 Central Street Mancliester, New Hampshire Students’ Spiritual Council i, 2, 3, 4; Sacred Heart League i, 2, 3; Foreign Mission Society i, 2, 3, 4; Student Government 3. 4, V’ice-President 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3. 4; Philomel Club 3, 4; Fithelon Club 3, 4; Reading Club i, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 2; Ivory Gate Secretary 3; Le Cenacle Litteraire 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 2, 3, Vice-President 4; El Circulo Espanol 3, 4, Treasurer 3, ' ice-Presi- dent 4; Fire Sejuad 4; Athletic Association i, 2, 3. 4.

Active in every phase of college life, she has been a leading figure in sports, social events and studies. Her gentle cultured demeanor and her low pleasing voice greatly enhance her charm. There is no need to wish her success, for her force- ful personality insures a brilliant future.

Who walked ahead and showed to us the light To lead our weaker falt’ring steps aright. With whom we shared our every joy and woe. We oH ' er up this prayer before you go. May life receive you in a kindly way, Is our fond wish for you this gladsome day. May each, her dreams of girlhood realize. And see her ideal world before her eyes. May memories of school days e’er abide, . nd Regis, fondest mother, always guide ' ou from temptation’s sorry strife By pointing out “the Way, the Truth, the Life.” Remember, this, wherever you may be.

Gallagher Mary E. Burke Margaret J. Giv ' ren M krgaret M. Yates The Sodality of tlie Blessed Mrgin is our outstanding spiritual organization, the direction of which has been taken over this year by the Reverenrl Malachi J. Prender- gast. On December 8, amidst the beauty of lights and flowers, at the feet of the shrine of Mary Immaculate, ninety-five candidates, attired in white, pledged their allegiance and devotion to the Mother of God. The Reception address was delivered by the Reverend Otis F. Kelley, our former director. The Question Bo.x is still an important feature of our meetings, solving our doubts and settling our difficulties; while the Bulletin Board keeps our thoughts on Mar ’s feasts. Although we regret the departure of our Seniors, we ofTer for them this prayer: “May the name of Mary be ever on their lips; may it be indelibly engraven on their hearts; may their lives mirror Mary.” 78 The Student Co-operative Government President Edna F. Dunn Jdee President Christine M. Zitiaitis Secretary Kathleen M. Sweeney Treasurer Mary T. Thomas STUi:)ENT REPRESENTATIVES Seniors Teresa E. Flaherty, Alice M. FitzGerald Juniors Mary E. Scarry, Isabel D. Murphy Sophomores Mary R. Curran, Mary K. Behlen I ' reshmen Mary Walters, Rita C ' -arlin Tlie Student Co-operative Government is the medium whereby the students themselves are given tlie opportunity to play their part in college organization. As such, it serves as a bond between the faculty and students, and functions in the interest of both. Furthermore, it is a v ' aluable factor in keeping alive college ideals and princi- ples and in exemplifying the true Regis spirit. The 1933 system was a very active one. d ' hronghont the year, monthly meetings were held in the Faculty Room of College Hall, where matters relative to school wel- fare were discussed and important resolutions adopted. In addition to its legislative capacity, the body was also zealous in the maintenance of order and regulation throughout the building and in securing the attendance of the students at assemblies. We extend to the organization our heartiest wishes for success in subsequent years, and the hope that it may ever uphold the lofty standards upon which it is founded. 79 Glee Club President Florence M. Gallagher Vice President Margaret M. Yates Secretary Mary R. Foy Treasurer Frances FI. McAuliffe The Glee Glub plays a most important part in the social activities of the College. During the past year, the Club has given some delightful presentations. An especially noted one was the program presented on Saint Cecilia’s day, which consisted of well- chosen numbers interspersed throughout the dramatic production given by the Classi- cal Cdub. The Nativity play was the next feature requiring the ever ready services of our Club. At this function the orchestra appeared with the club for the first time. The Spring program took the form of a musicale of ensemble and individual numbers on the Feast of St. Joseph. Another activity of the season sponsored by the Glee Club was the attendance at the opera “Rigoletto.” The membership of the club has increased yearly and it is our fervent desire that it will succeed more and more under capable leadership and cooperation. 8o Sigma Tau Phi President Dorothy M. Colahax Vice President Leonora Michaud Secretary Isabel D. Murphy Treasurer Mary C. Finn To foster an appreciation of classical culture and literature and to keep informed about modern activities in the field of the classics is the purpose of the Sigma Tau Phi. It was founded in 1927 and each succeeding year has witnessed remarkable progress. The club opened its calender in November with the successful presentation of a play based tipon Saint Cecilia’s martyrdom. In December, Miss Kathleen Deery, a member of the Vergilian Cruise of 1930, gave an entertaining illustrated talk on the places visited during the trip. February welcomed new members at a delightful Valentine’s tea. Next came a lecture on The Frogs of Aristophanes in which we dis- covered that the comedy, which received first prize in 450 B.C., is still among the most interesting of plays. The season was brought to a close by a thoroughly enthusi- astic classical picnic, dedicated to Pan. To the Sigma Tau Phi we wish the very best of success in the future! 81 Le Cenacle LitteVaire President Madeline Murphy Vice President Christine Zubaitis Treasurer Constance Gai Secretary Virginia Nadeau During the past year Le Cenacle Litteraire provided its members with well-planned programs in Music, Literature, and Dramatics. Worthy of mention is “A Compara- tive Study of the Rise and Development of the Novel in France, America, Italy and Spain,” a review and an analysis of the works of many modern French writers, namely, Cieorges Duhamel, Rene Bazin, Andre Maurois, Paul ' alery, Pierre Benoit, and Ernest Dimnet. Less serious in tone were the plays, Xante Harpagon devient prodigue and Moliere’s immortal Les Piecieuses Ridicules. After an introduction to the “precieuse” Calhos, Avho can cpiestion the meaning of the terms “preciosity” in France, “gongor- ism” in Spain, “marinism” in Italy and “euphuism” in England? The dramatic and musical ability of the Cenacle was evident in the splendid rendi- tion of Les Vestales, a classical drama in four acts by Bertrand Valoris. The cast, con- sisting of the Misses Lucille Lamoureux, Mary Keefe, Christine Zubaitis, Madeline Mnrphy, Marie Janelle, Constance Gai, Dolores Belanger, and Virginia Nadeau, is to be congratulated. 82 Der Deutsche Verein President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Katherine H. Trafton Mary R. Foy . Arune M. Coffey . Rita C. White The interest and cooperation so noticealile this year among the members of Der Deutsche Verein, is in a large measure responsilile for the highly successful season. By furnishing a finer appreciation and clearer understanding of the German language and writers, the club has afforded many pleasant and profitable hours for those num- bered among its membership. At meetings held each month, after liv ' ely discussions on German literature, tea is served and an entertaining program presented. As a clima.x to the remarkably active year “Minna von Barnhelm” by Lessing was ably dramatized in German by a cast entirely composed of the club girls. The society earnestly hopes that the work which its members have begun will continue with increasing success as the years progress. «3 El Circulo Espanol President l ice President Secretary Treasurer Christine M. Zubaitis Doris C. Hayden Claire D. Lynch Mary N. Condon The Spanish Chil), wliich was founded for the purpose of promoting and in- stilling interest in one of the most popular modern languag es, has met with great enthusiasm on the part of the student body. The monthly meetings have provided various entertainments. The members have been brought to a more intimate ac- cpiaintance with the great writings of .Spain, by devoting some time to the study of Cervantes and Calderon, of the picaresque novel, and of lyric and mystic poetry. During the year, a short comedy “Chispita” was presented by the members of the Spanish Club. This play reverberated Spanish ideals in language, custom, and dress. On March 23, an illustrated lecture was given before the student body. Slides were used in showing general views of Spain, and famous places of interest such as, the Tower of Gold, the Mosque of Cordova, the Alhambra, and cathedrals of various cities. All were interestingly described by Miss Ruth Rogers, who deserves credit for her thorough research and charming presentation. 84 Reading Club President Vice President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Treasurer Margaret M. Bartley Florence M. CFallagher Margaret M. Yates Catherine E. MgAnally Bernadine a. Sullivan To share the delights of reading with friends who seek the “highlands of the mind” by pleasant paths, the Reading Club assembles monthly to discuss good books, to review the best in modern fiction and to follow recent trends in all literature. In dramatic presentation, it offers to the student body literary programs which have included charming plays about such authors as Fanny Burney and Benjamin Franklin; plays by distinguished dramatists including Sheridan, Barrie, Percy Mac- kaye and Constance D’Arcy Mackay; and poetry by Alfred Noyes, by the much loved Joyce Kilmer and by the first negro poet of America, Paul Laurence Dunbar. The club aims to further the love of good I ' eading b y generously donating useful volumes to the library where in “the peaceful house of thoughts” Regis students may form lasting friendships through the golden medium of fine books. 85 The Louis Pasteur Club President Antoinette C. Amendola Vice President Retth G. Bradley Secretary Eleanor P. Malloy Treasurer Edna F. Dunn The Louis Pasteur Club, a popular organization at Regis, was formed in 1931 by the students of the Science Department. The clul) has for its purpose the proper lilending of the systematized information of science with the finer principles of life. A study of the lives and the contributions of eminent scientists, together with special reports, experiments, talks, and songs in which all the members participate, give to the monthly meetings, not only an educational and cultural import, but also an informal tone which helps to maintain an active interest in the club. To vary the pro- gram, men, prominent in scientific circles, address the club occasionally, while motion pictures of scientific interest are shown, and short plays are presented. A unique feature of the club is the annual “Ghemical Tea” held in the Science Eaboratory. It is our hope that the Louis Pasteur Club will grow steadily with increasing success. 86 Home Economics Club President Catherine E. McAnally Vice President Margaret M. Griffin Secretary Lary E. Scarry Treasurer Muriel T. Bell The Home Economics Cluli holds membership in the National Home Economics Association and is conducted in accordance with the standards of this organization and its affiliated branches. Annually, delegates from the Regis Club attend the meet- ings of the Massachusetts and New England Home Economics Associations. A buffet su pper given in honor of the freshman members and an elaborate Fashion Show, de- picting the history of costume from the earliest ages up to the latest mode, are but two of the many functions sponsored by the organization. Each Christmas tide, baskets are donated to needy families. xA.lthough the Club has been in existence only three years, it has become one of the outstanding societies of the College. 87 The Secretarial Club President Mary N. C jndon ' Vice President Mary F. Drury Secretary Corita J. Arche Treasurer Mary Louise Hynes The rapid development of the Secretarial Club is a genuine tribute to the spirit and efficiency of its loyal members. The purpose of its founders was to foster a lively interest in the different phases of current business and to impress the Catholic College Graduate with the importance of her position in the business world. Definite steps have been taken to realize these ambitions. The members of the club have had the distinct advantage of being addressed by reputable men and women, outstanding figures of the modern business world. More- over, by voluntaiy research work, the members have developed educational discus- sions on “The Consumers’ Research League,” “Unemployment,” and “Farm Re- lief,” topics which have lent a decided interest to the monthly meetings. It is our earnest wish that the progress which has been made may prove a powerful incentive to the complete realization of the purposes fostered by the charter members of this organization. 88 I Ethelon Club President Mary Donnelly Vice President Mary E. Burke Secretary Florence M. Gallagher Treasurer Esther T. Donohoe The Ethelon Club, at first only a tiny group of major students in Sociology, has continued to develop, until today it is a well established organization. A real interest in its work has been evidenced by the entire student body of the College. The purpose of the Club, to aid the poor, has attracted many, while membership is open to all who are interested in charitable endeavors. The greatest co-operation was given by the College to the annual Penny Sale held in December for the purpose of raising funds for Christmas dinners. A precedent has been established this year of maintaining one or more families by a weekly supply of food. Although originating in the Ethelon Club, many students in the College have gladly joined in the work. It is the spirit of willing- ness possessed by the pioneer Ethelonians, which has caused the organization to flour- ish in spite of the constant echoes of depression. 89 The Dramatic Club President Madeline G. Murphy Vice President Dorothy M. Colahan Secretary Margaret A. Donovan Treasurer Edna F. Dunn The Dramatic Club of Regis confines its membership to Juniors and Seniors who are interested in the art of expression and in the appreciation of the drama. Since the foundation of the chib its members have been under the skillful and patient guidance of Miss Alary Frances Rooney, our esteemed directress. During the Christmas season, the Seniors gave a very fine presentation of Eager Heart which they enacted not only at Regis but also in a Framingham Theatre through the courtesy of The Reverend Father Otis F. Kelley. As a contrast to the dignified and noble theme of the Senior presentation, the Juniors staged a gay and clever comedy The French Maid and the Phonograph for the enjoyment of the student body. The remainder of the year was spent in intensive preparation for the most important undertaking of the year, the reproduc- tion of the popular Shakespearean play, “As You Tike It.” 90 The Athletic Association President Madeline Murphy Vice President Anna T. Burke Secretary Corli a Arche Treasurer Gorinne A. Tondorf The Regis Athletic Association has for its aim the supervision of all the athletic activities of the College and the fostering of that spii ' it of good sportsmanship so es- sential for wholesome living. I ' his year was marked by a most successful basketball season, a swimming meet, a riding competition, and badminton and tennis tourna- ments. The formal closing of the year’s schedule took place on Sports’ Day in Com- mencement Week. The advisory board consists of the four e.xecutive officers of the Association, togethe r with the following presidents; Julie Saunders, basketball; C laire Lynch, archery; Natalie Boland, swimming; Edna Dunn, baseball; Florence Gallagher, tennis; Margaret Bartley, golf; Geraldine Hannon, held hockey; Mildred Gallagher, riding; Alice McNamara, track. 91 Fire Squad Chief Edna F.

Rourke Iatherine R. McOleeney Josephine M. Mahoney . Clare M. Conley The Alumnae Association of Regis College entered upon the second year of its existence with the enthusiastic cooperation of the Clas sof 1932 which increased its numbers appreciably. Miss (irace Hawley, its able pioneer president, was chosen once moi ' e to fill the office of president. A capable staff of assistants, representatives from both classes, was elected to aid in carrying out the hopes and aims of the young organization. The Alumnae extends its congratulations to the three members who have en- tered upon the matrimonial career. Miss Betty Harrington is now Mrs. Thomas Doyle, Miss Mary Louise Rogers has become Mrs. John Maloney, and Miss Ruth Hodges is now Mrs. Edmund McGreenery. Some of our members have become suc- cessful teachers, some have resumed their studies for the attainment of further knowledge in particular fields, others have followed the call of the Master to enter upon the religious life. The Alumnae is looking into the future when its representatives will be found in all the walks of life, spreading the ideals and I ' ealizing the dreams of its Alma Mater. 94 i Mrs. Cornelius J. Spillane President of Regis College Guild Following the initial October meeting, the Regis College Guild tendered a formal reception to the spiritual director, The Right Reverend Monsignor Michael J. Splaine D.D. The reception was held at the League House for Catholic Women, where the Monsignor addressed his guests with an accountof the interesting events of the Euchar- istic Congress. The calendar of activities for the year was later marked by a series of lectures given by the Reverend Robert H. Lord, Ph.D. Dr. Lord’s all-embracing topic was “The Catholic Church in Massachusetts.” The discussion included four separate lectures entitled: “The Founders”; “The Builders”; “The Persecutors”; and “The Church Since the Civil War.” Such a comprehensive and interesting treatise gave to the members of the Guild an intimate and intelligent knowledge of a most relev ' ant subject; the struggles and triumphs of Catholicism in New England. 95 |9|| B|tfi| 1 pBf P Hf ' 1 Rh Ih t i2i_ r:- The Ideal Woman in History “Have we not all ’mid life’s ignoble strife Some high ideal of a noble life That once seemed possible? Did we not hear I ' he flutter of its wings, and feel it near, And just within our reach’ It was — and yet VVx lost it in life’s daily jar and fret. And now live idle in a vain regret. But still our place is kept and it will wait. Until we come to claim it, soon or late. No star is ever lost we once hav ' e seen We always may be what we might have been.” Life in order to be a process ofliving, and not a mere eking out of existence, must be concentrated about a definite goal or a calling which is embraced with a firm will, and to which the restless mind returns after idle vagaries of thought and emotions, to be enriched, encouraged, and enlightened. The ideal to which we are irresistibly at- tracted is a type of excellence and perfection which we ardently desire to attain and earnestly endeavor to realize throughout life. It is as Whittier writes; ‘Not a vain and cold ideal Not a poet’s dream alone But a pre.sence warm and real, Seen and felt and known.” Formed empirically, through our experience, environment, and association w ' ith others, this ideal resides neither in one individual nor yet in a collection of individuals, but is a composite of the exemplary cpialities w ' hich w ' e have beheld in our fellowmen. It comprises a certain group of principles which we maintain as the guide-posts of life, and its pursuit is the mere embodiment and application of these principles to our own life, d ' he poet, Thoreau, says that such imaginary castles should be constructed in the lofty ether. It remains for us, having fashioned them from day dreams and flights of fancy, to establish firm and enduring foundations of activity beneath them, for it is by our ideals that we shall be known — “To live for common ends is to be common: The highest faith makes still the highest man; For we grow like the things our souls believe; .And rise or sink as we aim high or low.” Poets have vied in expounding the highest ideal of perfect womanhood. The ancient classics and the proverbs have given us an ideal woman who, though morally virtuous and honorable, possessed of a superior intelligence and an abiding sense of duty, has, none the less, been lacking in some one vital factor. The ideal of woman- hood today, as depicted by the bard, embodies that missing spiritual element, infinite 99 d in its l)eavity and moral worth, —“a being moulded by God, and tempered by the tears of angels, to the perfect form of woman.” In the work devolving upon mankind, woman has a distinct mission to fulfill, d’oday, we boast of a higher civilization, a higher type of life. All this is dne largely to the influence of woman, extending as it does, to every phase of modern activity, re- fining it, modulating and exalting it. d ' he American home, the ev ' er-growing field of literature and art, and the working world have felt the impress and the power of this “higher personality” and have been ennobled and elevated. Woman’s power is for dominion, not for battle, her intellect is for “sweet ordering, arrangement, and de- cision -not for invention and creation.” (Ruskin) She achieves naturally and without effort, what man accomplishes only by utterly vanciuishing his own nature and by using every available force of his will. Man acts with force and perseverance, but woman suffers with more Constance and energy. Man builds with brick, and moulds with clay; his canvas proclaims his ability to daub with colors and to arrange them in a pleasing harmony, whereas woman’s tools are the immaterial elements of the spirit. ith these she builds and places on the canv as of time the lives of those whose char- acters she has formed. What art is finer than her inherent power of guiding and con- trolling the courses of these divine and higher spiritual elements in man? The outstanding enterprises, the noble intellectual achievements, progress in the arts and sciences, and in national culture and universal enlightenment may be ac- credited to the influence and wisdom of refined and noble woman. As she has directed the courses of life in the past, so she will in the future, herald the dawning of moral enfranchisement. Down through the ages it has been woman who has preserved the immortality of the poetic genius. She has furnished the theme for the poet, the model for the artist, and the ideal for the sculptor. She has been the ministering angel in the home, before whose altars, Coventry Patmore and a host of writers have burnt the incense of their homage. Hers is the hand which “points the path to heaven, yet makes a heaven of onr earth.” (Hayne) In tracing her history, we must, of necessity trace that of the world. The history of every age concerns itself with woman. It is true that Christianity broadened her sphere, but before this era she had asserted her right to be heard, and her influence for good was felt even in those early ages. History and chronicles reveal that good women have outbalanced evil women. It is true that a woman first plucked the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge, and by her act, introduced sin into the world. But it was also a woman, our own Mother Mary, who plucked for us the fruit from the tree of perpetual life, thereby insuring salvation and redemption to a depraved and sinful world. Woman, in the person of Elizabeth, first blessed the Savior; woman, the prophetess Anna, first foretold His death; women, the Martha and Mary of Bethany, first received Him as their Honored Guest; woman, Mary Magdalen, for- sook the world for Him; a woman, Claudia Procula, the wife of Pilate, pleaded in His behalf For the treacherous Helen of Troy, history reveals the faithful Penelope; for the lOO sensuous Cleopatra, there is the virtuous Octavia; if Tarpeia was a traitoress, Cor- nelia gave the Gracchi to the Roman World. If the French Revolution motivated such a notorious character as Madame Le Bon, it also conferred a crown upon Charlotte Corday. Before tracing the history of the ideal woman, it is in keeping first to enumerate the characteristics which distinguish her from those of her sex who have not attained such a degree of perfection. “Formositas, sapientia, castitas” — the three fundamental qualities of the ideal woman of ancient times. Fler crown, then as now, was in char- acter, personality, sound judgment, and nobility of spirit. ‘ The beauty of the king’s daughter is within.” Loyalty is recorded as woman’s strongest characteristic; loyalty to one idea — to one ideal. Sometimes this loyalty may appear under diverse forms, and manifest itself in various aspects, but always, it has its origin in life and in love. It may be diffused, or concentrated, but it is, as ever, the soul and the essence of the true woman. Through its influence upon her, she recognizes her own nature, and sounds the depths of her own soul. Fortunate, indeed, is that woman to whose name is affixed the epithet, noble. In early times, the nobles were a class, exempt from the squalor and the drudgery of their inferiors, and upon whose shoulders rested the task of defending the state and directing government affairs. The word today, is more comprehensive in its applica- tion, but it still is the mark of the distinguished — those who are illustrious of thought, of act, and of deed, to whom Lowell referred when he wrote, “Be noble! and the nobleness that lies In other men, sleeping, but never dead. Will rise in majesty to meet thine own.” Sincerity, that “breath of life for human society,” truth and tactfulness, character- istics of the freeborn, are among the highest attribtites of the ideal woman. Generosity, which we interpret as magnanimity of spirit, broadheartedness, and service to one’s fellowman, known as “public spirit,” are found in her nature. Each individual is destined to fill her place in the scheme of life, and unless she is bound by public service into the whole unit of society, she loses the especial significance for which she was expressly created. Even the early Hindu and Ghinese literature gives testimony to the fact that religion is essential to womanhood. This religion is not one which consists in the per- formance of ceremonies, and external rites, it is not a selfish quest for eternal blessed- ness, but rather a religion which typifies the union of our lives and hearts with God, a religion of love and compassion for all humanity, which becomes the guiding influence of our life. With these qualities woven into the fabric of her character, the woman of any age becomes an ideal. In retrospect for a few paragraphs, to study and make a survey of woman’s history, we divide our material of woman into six major periods; the era before Ghristianity, extending from Eden to Christ, her history during the first four Christian centuries; her influence during the Dark Ages; her life under Medieval institutions; woman, at lOI the dawn oi lier power, or in the epoch of intellectual awakening; and woman in the (iolden Age ofher achievement and progress. Ikirly history of the pre-Christian era does not lack its examples of noble and ideal women. Deborah, the seeress, who is commemorated in a Hebrew poem in the fifth book of the Judges, delivered her people, the Israelites, from the tyranny of King Jabin of Canaan. There is Ruth, the gleaner, that sweetly-spoken Moabite ancestress of David, the beloved of Boaz; Abigail, wife of Nabal, a woman “of good understand- ing and of a beautiful countenance” whose womanly tact and beauty .softened the enraged heart of David, intent upon killing her husband; and Judith, the wealthy widow, who was willing to jeopardize life and reputation to save the famished and besieged inhabitants of Samaria from the vengeance of Holofernes, the Assyrian general. The story of Esther is read, that beautiful Jewish maiden, the Lily of Shushan, and cpieen of Persia, who averted disaster from her kinsfolk by her influence with Ahastierus, the Persian king. As depicted in the Bible, she was a woman of commenda- ble faith, self-sacrifice and deep piety. Leaving the women of early Eastern heritage, history ne.xt focuses the attention of the annalist upon those of the Western world, who added more in cultural values to the religiotis dogmatism of the East. Whenever beauty or culture is the theme of thought, there looms before the mind’s eye the history and legendary lore of ancient Creece, the fountain head and progenitor of our present day culture. Although woman’s influence among the Creeks was exerted silently and perhaps unobtrusively, it was none the less potent in forming the character and controlling the destinies of the people. As Rome gradually concpiered the ancient world, Greek culture and Greek wom- anhood became merged into the cosmopolitan life of the Roman world. Among the Roman women of cjuality, there is Lucretia, the innocent victim of the ruthless Tarcjuins, who was celebrated for her virtue and beauty, and Cornelia, the mother of th(“ Gracchi, eminent for her gravity of character, and without whom the whole destiny of Rome would have changed. Christianity, from its incijjiency, unlike the Roman influence, appealed only to what was highest and best in feminine life, and as a residt, during this age, woman at- tained her zenith of glory. She owed to Christinaity whatever of honor she enjoyed, for she “bore in her bosom the hope of the earth,” and thus, we measure her worth by her loyalty to Him. “Woman! above all women glorified — Our tainted nature’s solitary boast.” Mary, ’irgin Mother of Christ, whose every action is the keynote to a higher life, is the perfect model of all who would attain true idealism of character. All generations shall call her blessed! Poster ity re-echoes her greeting, conceives her as its perfect ideal, as Virgin and Mother. She was christened Mary, which in the Hebrew tongue, means “beautiful or perfect one.” Tradition reveals that from the moment ofher conception 102 she was immaculate, and the angel’s salutation as “full of grace” gives proof that this spotlessness was never forfeited during her life. Her very title “Our Lady” evidences the change that she wrought upon the world. Under the pagan codes and Jewish rites, woman endured a degraded and inferior position, but in Mary, womankind was raised from her thraldom. She it was who established the new standard of purity, dignity, modesty, and equality for woman. “And if our faith had given us nothing more Than this example of all womanhood. So mild, so merciful, so strong, loving, pure — This was enough to prove it higher and truer Than all the creeds the world has known before.” In this Christian era lived the repentant Magdalen of a contemplative mind, a mystic, eager to grasp truths of spiritual value, and Martha, the elder sister, the vigorous and matronly housewife. Lydia, the first European convert, friend and pupil of St. Paul, Eponina, the heroine of conjugal affection, lauded by the Romans in song for her fidelity; Boadicea, the British queen, who, like the Bible heroines of old, led her people against the Romans to safeguard the purity of the British women; Blandina, the slave girl of Lyon; Perpetua, lady of rank and her devoted slave girl, Eelicitas; Agnes and Cecilia, the Christian martyrs; Monica, mother of Augustine; the pious and patriotic Genevieve, the predecessor of Jeanne d’Arc, who saved her native Paris from the hideous hordes of Attila; Fabiola, philanthropist and founder of the first Roman hospital, of whom St. Jerome said “she was the praise of the Christians, the wonder of the Gentiles, the mourning of the poor, and the consolation of the monks” — all were members of that sisterhood which extended so rapidly over the world, f ' rom their ranks came forth not only the holiest witnesses to the ethereal and perpetual beauty of Christian idealism, but also the most steadfast and heroic martyrs of faith. During the so-called Dark Ages which followed the spread of Christianity, woman was elevated as man’s equal through the fullest development of the feudal system. She was recognized as an heiress, a regent of state, and an active partisan in political affairs. Among the several queens who distinguished themselves in w ' omanly virtue during this period is Radegonde, queen of Soissons, who was forcibly married, but who later became an exemplary religious at Poitiers. Queen Bertha of England first paved the way for Christianity in the British Isles, and founded the first Christian church in Canterbury. Theodelinda, queen of the Lombards, converted the Arian Lombards to Catholicity, and placed that nation under the patronage of John the Baptist. It was to Saint Hilda, an English abbess, that Caedmon, the early English poet, told his dream of creation. Recognizing it as inspired poetry, Hilda afforded him the opportunity to read and write, enabling him to popularize his work. Thus, it is to a woman’s intuition and critical faculty that we owe this first great contribution to English literature, w ' hich was later to prove the stimulus to “Paradise Lost.” Hros- wdtha’s “Comedies,” which are still extant, bear witness to the literary ability of a nun of the Middle Ages. 103 During Medieval times, the material status of woman was elevated. She became a noble in her own right, l ilies were conferred upon her, which were transferable by marriage to other families. Religion and love were strangely blended, and the motive of every true knight was love of God and of the ladies. Ghaucer’s observation was most appropriate to the period: “Women are the cause of all knighthood, the increase of worship, and of all worthiness; courteous, glad, and merry, and true in every wise.” Elizabeth of Hungar ' y, who lived at this time, devoted herself to a life of asceticism, as Louise of Prussia, five centuries later, in a similar manner labored unselfishly among the poor of her realm. Gatherinc of Sienna, saint and writer of note, influenced Pope Gregory XI to reestablish the pontifical seat at Rome from Avignon, while Jeanne d’Arc, maid of Orleans, “martyr to her religion, her country, and her king,” inspired a contemporary to say of her “no ideal that man has conceived ever ap- proached this most certain reality.” Beatrice Portinari was the lady of true virtue and nobility, who inspired the poet Dante. “The supreme tribute to woman comes at the end of the century in Dante’s apothesis of her in the Divine Gomedy. In this it is a woman who inspires, a woman who leads, a woman who is the reward of man’s aspira- tions, and though the symbolism may be traced to philosophy, the influence of an actual woman in it all is sure beyond all doubt.” “It is not the beauty of her face or her figure that has attracted Dante, but the charm of her character, which all others must admire — which even women do not envy, it is so beautiful -that constitutes the su- j)reme reason for Dante’s admiration.” It is in the Thirteenth century that women accomplished great things, as Doctor James J. Walsh so fittingly states in his Thirteenth, Greatest of Centuries: “Their influence stood for what was best and highest in the life of the time and their example encour- aged not only their owm generation, but many people in many subsequent genera- tions ‘to look up, not down, to look within, not without’ for happiness, and to trust that ‘God’s in his heaven and all’s well with the world’.” Prominent during this period were the well known St. Glare of Assisi, St. Eliza- beth of Hungary and Qiieen Blanche of Gastile, the mother of St. Louis, Isabella, the famous Gountess of Arundel. These and other illustrious Gatholic personnages, to- gether w ' ith their historic accomplishments, were incorporated in a previous article entitled, “Gatholic Women inthe Field of Gatholic Action,” which appeared in the 1932 edition of the Mount Regis. Following closely upon Medieval romanticism and chivalry, came the scholarly achievement of the Renaissance, and with it, the dawn of woman’s power. In fact, competent authorities of that era remarked that, “No age was so productive of learned women as the si.xteenth century.” At its close, an artificial atmosphere of learning, devoid of any intellectual sincerity prevailed. Maria Theresa of Austria and, in a lesser degree, Galherine II of Russia, deserve the highest commendation, not only for the superior calibre of their intelligence, but also for the goodness of their hearts, the gentility of their manners, and the mercy and kindliness which they displayed toward their subjects. The teachings of the life of Princess Alice cannot be considered apart 04 from her glowing career. Her benevolent concern for the improvement of conditions among the poor, and her lack of supercilious condescension towards her inferiors man- ifest thebreadth andscopeof her nature andreveal hergenuine regard for all humanity. At the outset of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, unprecedented oppor- tunity was extended to woman. The broadened outlook of civilized communities re- sulted in greater recognition of feminine activities in social and philanthropic circles, and called forth a corresponding increase of responsibility on her part. The poetic prowess and the exemplary life of the noble Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the clear and comprehensive intellect of Harriet Martineau, the scientific achievements of Maiy Somerville, the indomitable energy of Charlotte Bronte, the philosophic sympathy of George Eliot — all are evidences of the genius of the age. In the field of nursing, the names of Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton will ever signify the criterion of invincible courage while the work of Mother Drexel among the Negro and Indian Missions is indeed, the finest and most thoroughly unselfish example of Christ-like altruism. In American history it is difficult to single out a specific list of noble women, for female heroism has been so general among women in America from the days of its pioneer settlement, that it has attracted but little notice, and won no lasting fame. History sings no hymn of triumph for those women of unpraised deeds who “Leave no memorial but a world made A little better by their lives.” This retrospective surv ' ey of historic annals has been intended to verify the con- clusion that the happiness, purity, and orderly arrangement of human life has always been kept alive by the influence of noble women. This being, to whom God gave the greatest degree of His Divinity when He bestowed upon her, maternal love and appre- ciation of the truly beautiful and spiritual in life, has wdthin her nature the power to save the human race. She is on the threshold of her career. Past memorials are but the prophecies of her glorious future. Behind her stand the noblest traditions, the finest ideals of virtue and exemplary heroism — before her, the innumerable opportunities of approaching centuries. There never has and never can be any civilization, worthy of the name, where woman is not an influential factor. But to conquer the world she must first conquer self What a woman is, depends upon what she aspires, wills, and hopes to be. If her aim and ideal be noble, so will her life be noble. Her soul will seek the happiness of others rather than its own; her life will be dominated by a serenity and gentleness, an enthusiasm for the noble, and a confident faith in the future. She will draw inspiration from the fountain of truth, and the source of idealism — Mary, Virgin and Mother, and from those of infinitely lesser worth, who, with her as a model, have endeavored zealously to live a life of nobility, and who have succeeded according to the standards of their age. Thus woman will go down through subsequent ages, bearing ever “a lantern in her hand” to guide mankind to the purest and loftiest ideals that this life can offer until eternity shall dawn and she shall be num- bered among the truly blessed. Dorothy M. Col.ahan 05 The Ideal Woman in Poetry In an age pregnant with such discussions as feminine emancipation, single standards, and sex ccpiality, it may seem traitorous to extol, or even to suggest for contemplation, such a fantastical theme as the ideal woman. The idealization of femininity seems in view of popular opinion to have been obliterated w ' ith the passing of Arthur and Guinevere. Such an idea is erroneous, no matter how careful and pro- digious the attempts to substantiate it. Woman in her essence, not in her accidental cjualities, has been and will continue to be, that ideal most esteemed and revered of mortals. History lends its annals to acquaint us with women of the past, fictitious and real, who have been immortalized by poets’ pens for their ideality. The ideal woman is not a thing apart. She is not a crystallized image, placed upon a marble throne. She is not a vague, misty, dreamlike shadow, seen through a vista of fleece-like clouds. She is not a regally ornamented cjueen of knight-hood days, waving a handkerchief, as her lover, astride a white steed, goes to battle. She is the woman we meet every day. She is, in short, that feminine entity who, irrespectiv ' e of figure, form, and countenance, exhales beauty by her love-like tendencies. She has learned the art of sympathy. She has made herself that one, and that one alone, who, by untiring and tender understanding, urges to greater heights those who cross her path. She stands supreme, not on a pedestal, not in a gilded frame, but in an environment of practi- cability and domesticity — administering, counciling, and directing. She stands anew in every walk of life, an influence which is the natural beginning and end of all good- ness. Review for a space, poetic conceptions of feminine ideality. Look for a while upon the Beatrice of Dante, and the Portia of Shakespeare, and those other less famous in- spirations of minor poets, because it is in poetry that is found a medium of expression most conducive to idealization. Its own foremost and essential purpose is to arouse “noble emotions” and hence it may be conceded that such an end would and does anticipate and actuate noble ideas. Dante has made the name of Beatrice immortal, and in his description of her, finds her beauty founded on virtue. Looking at her eyes he says in his “Beatrice”: “Virtue, still growing, is in them displayed.” Then quoting from his description of her mouth we have the poet deriving tenderness and goodness from this source. Beatrice, his ideal, can let escape from her lips only words which give proof of an innate loveliness of soul, bespeaking a charity of heart, a chastity of love, an immunity from sin, and a zealous search for holiness. “What tenderness and goodne.ss it reveals” — this mouth that knows not harshness or incivility. O Beatrice, beloved of Dante, we find in you the perfection he has sung. Truly he says: “O’er her noble manners reigns a charm. Which universal reverence inspires.” 07 This charm so inspired him that he felt it liis duty to sketch Ins Beatrice for posterity, that it might better know nobility. ‘‘For formed in lier are found Personal beauty, and a virtuous mind Nor aught deficient, liut some grains of pity.” This is a word picture, a resumatic display of those thoughts which swelled in Dante ' s mind and cried for expression that the stimulus of them might be the better appreci- ated. Dante has that sublime conception of the perfect woman. True, she is said to be beautiful, but she seems beautiful to those that know her, not because of physical delineation, but because of spiritual emanation. It is tenderness, kindness, soulfulness, and pity; it is goodness, virtue, and innocence, which make a woman beautiful. Proceeding to other poets, not in order of their existence but in order of the coin- cidence of their thought, we find that Milton in his epic, “Paradise Lost,” devotes a section to Adam’s description of Eve: “Grace was in all her steps. Heav ' en in her eye In every gesture dignity and love.” And again: “Seems, wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best. ■Ml higher knowledge in her presence fails Degraded; Wisdom in discourse with her Loses discountenanced, and like Folly shows.” Milton seems to desire the world to know that the beauty embodied in noble woman bows down before no greater light. Wisdom forfeits the throne to righteousness and in discourse with true womanhood grows ludicrous, if hostile, to the dictates of her smile. In “Paradise Lost” we have substantial proof that the soul is beautiful regardless of the body, and that this fact is established as genuine in the lines: “Neither her outside formed so fair, nor aught So much delights me, as those graceful acts Those thousands decencies that daily flow From all her works and actions mixed with love .‘ nd sweet compliances, which declare unfeigned Union of mind, or in us both one soul.” Milton, with his fellow poets wishes us to realize that it is not the external character- istics nor the obvious gesticulations which make for beauteous femininity, but the spiritual effulgency of a God-inhabited soul. What more universally heralded poet might I draw upon for proof than William Shakespeare? Books have been written on his heroines. Ideas and ideals of the poet himself have been carefully and meticulously fashioned into verse that is now delicate, now stirring, now spiritualizing, now adoring, all in order that he might purposely and indelibly imprint his conceptions of feministic ideality upon the minds of his io8 appreciators! Let me but quote a few Hues which are his choicest legacy to the ideal woman : “From women’s eyes this doctrine I derive They sparkle the right Promethean fire: I ' liey are the books, the arts, the academies That show, contain, and nourish all the world.” The basic constituents of beauty and true womanhood are emphasized by Burns in his more colloquial and urbane mannerism of expression in, “Once I Loved a Bonnie Lass.” Although in a more debonair strain with a more audacious swing, he tells us again, that it is the innocence and modesty imbedded in woman that truly touch the heart of her fellowmen. “A gaudy dress and gentle air May slightly touch the heart. But it ' s innocence and modesty That polishes the dart.” Wordsworth, the nature poet and singer of nature-lovers, describes a young highland lass in, “To a Highland Girl,” “For never saw I in eye or face In which more plainly 1 could trace Benignity and home bred .sense Ripening in perfect innocence.” Once more the emphasis is placed on innocence. Once more benignity is praised. Wordsworth, in communion with his successors, contemporaries, and predecessors, assigns these attributes as the jewelled stars of a woman’s crown. Then from his “Port- rait” we have the well-known lines, so perfect in technical form and in precision of expression. “. perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to comfort and command And yet a spirit still and bright ith something of an angel light.” FitzGreene Halleck in his poem called so aptly, “Woman” says: “For thou art woman — with that word Life’s dearest hopes and memories come. Truth — Beauty, Love — in her adored, ■ nd earth’s lost paradi.se restored In the green bower of home.” Thus we find described the serenity and tranquillity of the dove-like love of woman. Longfellow, in his “Maidenhood” writes: “. nd that smile like sunshine darts Into many a sunless heart For a smile of God thou art.” top Such lines are characteristic of Longfellow. His love for his wife and daughters is well known to those of us who have lived in the shadow of his home. Longfellow’s love of woman is spontaneous and encrv ' csccnt. Her purity was his delight. James Russell Lowell, contemporary of Longfellow, in “Irene” calls, “Earth’s noblest thing, a woman perfected.” Let us now, before we close, climb to higher spheres, and view ' woman as the poets have envisioned her fulfilling that function for w’hich she was most created. We must, however, climb. We cannot view her on a low ' ly plane this woman we call mother. And yet my subject is not an elusive thing. It is perfectly tangible and e.xistent. A mother is God’s precious gift to man. No man created has lacked a mother, save those first two beings of the earthly paradise w ' ho had in God all reason for their existence. It is your mother and my mother, your mother’s mother and her mother, that poets lauded, when they praised our Lady — the Mother of mothers. Listen closely, while W ordsworth, glorifying Mary, sings the “Mater Immaculata” extolling the true sig- nificance and beauty of a mother’s love. “Mother, whose virgin bosom was uncrost With the least shade of thought to sin allied; Woman, above all women glorified Our tainted nature’s solitary boast; Purer than foam on central ocean tost; Brighter than Eastern skies at daybreak strewn With fancied ro.ses, than the unblemished moon Before her wane begins on Heaven’s blue coast, Thy image falls to earth. Vet some, I ween. Not unforgiven the suppliant knee might bend. As to a visible power, in which did blend .Ml that was mixed and reconciled in thee Of mother’s love with maiden purity. Of high with low, celestial with terrene.” Alfred Tennyson, the poet of knighthood days and lover of idealism, has lent his pen with many others to tell us his thoughts of mother. “Happy He w ' ith such a Mother,” is a short verse which illustrates our theme: “Yet was there one . . . Not learned, save in gracious household ways. Not perfect nay, but full of tender wants. No angel, but a dearer being all dipped In angel instincts, breathing paradise. Interpreter between the Gods and men. Who looked all native to her place . . . Happy he With such a mother! Faith in womanhood Beats with his blood, and trust in all things high Comes easy to him, and though he trip and fall He shall not blind his soul with clay.” Countless and innumerable are the poets who have glorified woman. May they continue to make of her that creature “nobly planned” and help by such circulation of to ideals to keep womanhood upon the plane intended for it. Why deny those qualities which constitute the essence of woman? Why should woman aspire to accjuire acci- dental notes which will, by their very abundance, completely enshroud the beauty that is hers? No, let woman be more conscious of those elements which make her tridy beauteous; a thing to be admired and adored. Feminine ideality has its own reward for being. It finds approval among mortals and wins the praises of God. It inspires and directs all the powers of man. It is, in fine, the encasement of godliness in woman, who then shares her gifts by counciling, commanding, loving, and serving. With the poets, let us lend our strength to aid, to encourage and to perpetuate the idealism of woman- hood. Doris G. McBride I i 1 1 1 Mary, Our Ideal “And if our faith had given us nothing more Than this example of all womanhood So mild, so merciful, so strong, so good, So patient, peaceful, loyal, loving, pure — This was enough to prove it higher and truer I han all the creeds the world had known before.” At heart all of us are idealists. We are discontented with what we are and w ' e aspire to what we are not. Each has her owni ideal, be it real or fantastic, concrete or abstract, definite or indefinite, but for Catholic womanhood there is one ideal which has ever e.xercised a more influence. This ideal is Mary. The very sound of the name reechoes tenderly in our hearts, for every age and every nation have e.x- perienced her beneficent patronage, and has endeavored to make some return of grati- tude by cidtivating devotion in her honor. With the first chirp of sw ' allows in early morning, convent bells softly toll the Angelus in praise of the Virgin Mother of our Divine Redeemer. Throughout the day the Cfliurch sends heavenward petitions en- trusted to Our Lady’s care. Throughout the year devotion to Mary receives renewed impetus by the recurrence of feast days and seasons wholly hers- -May, Mary ' s month, with its litanies and processions — and October, the month of the Holy Rosary, when the whispered “Aves” of young and old span the illimitable space betw ' een earth and heaven, and easily obtain an audience at the great throne of Almighty God, be- cause of her w ' hom they honor. Who is this Mary? W’hy is she so loved? What claims has she to our devotion, love, and gratitude? What makes her our most worthy ideal? Volumes have been written and volumes will be written to answ ' er these cjueries. Countless hymns have been sung extolling her praises — the praises of a fellow-creature, surpassing all others in lowliness by choice and in dignity by grace — the Vhrgin of Virgins, and the Mother of Christ, Saviour of our race, thus doubly beloved by her twofold honor. As a virgin, she dwells among the lilies and like them, she wafts a fragrance, sweet and penetrating, a kind of incense which is enkindled by her love for God and man. Her demeanor is simple, modest, and retiring, but her stately mien and cjueenly bearing portray a heart, courageous, generous, and loyal. As a mother, she finds simple household duties in a low ' ly cottage not unw ' orthy of her regard, exalted as she is above Seraphim and Cherubim. She is patient and serene in difFiculties, faithful to duty, trustful of the bounty of the All-Provident Father, and devoted to the Christ Child. Is she not the perfect embodiment of those very virtues one desires in the ideal woman? Who, then, could fail to recognize Mary as the loftiest ideal, — the ideal of truth, of beauty and of grace? Surely not the girl graduate of a Catholic College where the cult of Mary has been instilled from early freshman days with the never-to- be forgotten enrollment in Mary’s court -the Children of Mary — through under- graduate days, until, as a senior, she stands at the parting of the ways and realizes the jiiecious heritage that is hers, a heritage which must he perpetuated iu her hence- forth l y the jnacticc of those very virtues and cpialities which liave drawn her mag- netically to Ovu ' Lady andOur ( necn. May she find here in these pages a true picture of Mary, ’irgin and Mother, Mary our Ideal, and may it remain forever traced in gold among her fondest memories. Of all the portraits of Mary, there is none more inspiring or more appealing than that of the young Jewish maiden, who graciously adorns the temple by her virginal purity, her holy innocence, her enchanting loveliness. It is late afternoon within the citadel at Jerusalem. A group of young maidens, industriously embroidering tunics, lavishly embellished with gold and jewels, reanimates the stately old edifice with all the buoyant enthusiasm of their youth. But there is one maiden who far outshines the others in beauty of face, in modesty of mien, in graciousness of manner. Like a gleam- ing gem that the jeweler nestles amid the rippling folds of black velvet, so too this perfect diamond of virginity, excjuisitely chiseled and fashioned, shines resplendent among these Jewish maidens. Like the unobtrusive violet, so too this sweet flower of humility blooms in the temple of her Maker, the quintessence of gentleness, purity and meekness. Now her vigilant eye observes a troubled face —and in an instant Mary is by the side of the sorrowing one, assuaging her grief. Now a half-embroidered tunic lies abandoned by some less assiduous artisan, Mary, quietly but deftly, applies the finishing touches. Now hilarious outbursts of laughter rend the air. Now the babbling tones rise higher and higher till the very walls seem to retreat before the onrush of merry voices. Mary does not chide her exuberant companions, nor does she even make the slightest pretense to check them. But suddenly a soft, sweet voice charms the air. The whole room resounds with this sacred melody which seems to be wafted on high by some angelic choir. The room is hushed, the tunics are laid aside, for Mary is singing her praises of love and gratitude. It is Mary’s hymn of virginity that cap- tivates these young hearts and diffuses through the inner recesses of the temple a fore- taste of things divine. Little does Mary know as she sings her virgin anthem that countless ages will revere her as the virgin, blessed before all women. She alone possesses in an eminent degree those qualities that her Divine Son wishes to infuse into the hearts of all virgins. In His Wisdom He sees that fallen woman must be raised to a higher, nobler plane, and He chooses for onr inspiration. His Virgin Mother. True, she may seem too perfect, too lofty for our weak human aspirations, but there is nothing in Mary but pure humanity, pure, not only in its freedom from the contamination of sin, but also in the very purity of its composition. Then again, the perfection, which undoubtedly adorns the ' irgin Mary, does not consist in extraordinary acts. In her, we find neither prophecies nor miracles, nor sermons, nor ecstasies, nothing but simplicity and sin- cerity. Mary’s virtues are all built on the unshakable rock of her virgin purity. Her meekness, her prudence, her willingness to suffer are all raised on this foundation by the very ardor of her love. The tides of love for God and man that sweep relentlessly 1 14 upward from her virgin heart are all timed by the measured pvdse of that most pure heart. When the girl graduate leaves behind the carefree walks of her school days and enters the more intricate and more serious path of womanhood, Mary, her golden ideal should still glow before her “inward eye,” but now ' with a deeper brighter hue, for Mary has been adorned with an added lustre, her Divine Maternity. “The Mother of God!” rejoices Father Faber. “In what surpassing heights is she sublimely enthroned!” It is Our Divine Lord who has elevated His Virgin Mother to the pinnacle of per- fection that she might be the ideal Christian woman to ennoble, to inspire, to uplift, and to glorify for He realizes, before all others, that in Motherhood rests the hojie of civilization, the progress of the race. Mothers the whole w ' orld over look to this faithful, loving, self-sacrificing Mother of Nazareth for guidance and consolation. They love to peer into that lowly cottage of the Galilean town and eagerly trace the sacred steps of Mary. Where can they find a sweeter soul than this “paradi.se of God’s delights” as St. John Chrysostom depicts his ideal? Where can they find anyone more efficacious or omnipotent in obtaining their petitions, than the Blessed Mother, called by her devoted children, “Q,ueen of heaven” and “dispenser of God’s treasures?” Where can they find a more tender or more compassionate heart than the Mother of Sorrows, ever solicitous for the welfare of those w ' ho aspire to her glorious virtues? How Mary embodied these exalted virtues, and how, each day, “in the fear and love of God,” she followed her Maker’s bidding within the Nazareth dwelling lies far beyond the ordinary pen to describe or even suggest. Those celestial portraits possess a transcendent character too deep for our puny intellects to penetrate, until that day of days when we shall see her, our own Mother by predilection, enthroned in all her majesty and glory. Then will be made manifest in their full splendor the inner beauties of her soul: her patience, humility, and charity; her invincible faith, unsw ' erving trust, and finally her perfect submission to the providence and holy Will of God. In a word, Mary will stand before us as the spotless personality of the ages, a beautiful figure, revered and loved. Motherhood everywhere has turned to her with a sense of kinship and devotion. Incomparable in her dignity, her privileges, her prerog- atives, Mary is the “valiant woman” who has labored, suffered, loved and perse- vered. She is, in short, the living, breathing exemplar of the perfection towards which we lesser mortals aspire. No one has paid more adequate tribute to the preeminent virtues of her, the noblest of all ideals, Mary, our Virgin and Mother, than Cardinal Gibbons in the “Model of Christian Woman”: “The Christian woman is everywhere confronted by her great model. Mary’s portrait gazes down upon her from the w ' all. Her name is repeated in the pages of the book before her. Her eulogy is pronounced from the pul- pit. Altars and temples are dedicated in her honor. Festivals are celebrated in her praise. In a word, the Virgin Mother is indelibly stamped on the intellect, the heart, the memory, and the imagination of the Christian daughter. The influence of Mary, 5 therefore, in the moral elevation of woman can hardly be overestimated. She is the perfect combination of all that is great and good and noble in womanhood. Hers is ex- cjuisite beauty, beauty more of the soul than of the body; it delights without intoxi- cating. The contemplation of her excites no inward rebellion, as too often happens with Grecian models. She is the mother of fair love. In her, we find force of will with- out pride or imperiousness. In her we find moral strength and heroism without the sacrifice of female grace and honor — a heroism of silent suffering rather than of noisy action.” Inspired by such a noble tribute, may we ever cherish this lofty ideal of Gatholic womanhood, and may our every thought, word, and act reecho our sincere love and esteem for Mary, our Ideal. Two Seniors V I i I 1 16 i Class History AN HISTORICAL DRAMA Scene: Regis Time: 1929 to 1933 Chief Characters: The Class of 1933 ACT I (Time: 1929-1930) Scene i (September) A youthful group of docile Freshmen arrive at Regis, to find themselves speedily engrossed in the intricacies of their first registration, and deeply impressed with the Mass of the Holy Ghost which opens the academic year. But all too soon, these timid young people taste of the tragedies of life, when the Sophomores, after inflicting a week of torture upon them, stage a never-to-be-forgotten hazing party. After these terrors are over, this famous class enters enthusiastically into the studious spirit ever pervading those famed halls. Scene 2 (October) With the warm tones of the autumn leaves flaunting upon the fall air, the young students feel the glow of friendship growing stronger. To counteract the effects of hazing, the Sister Class, arranges a delightful Baby Party. The Freshmen bedeck themselves in appropriate baby clothes, and the Junior Sisters appear as nursemaids to escort the precocious infants to their frolic. Before long, the days of childhood pass, and this youngest class joins eagerly in the celebration of Founder’s Day, and attends the event with all the dignity associated with the members of a collegiate institution. 1 he Sodality reorganizes, and embraces this new group, placing each little Freshman under the protection of Mary our ideal. Scene 3 (November) Saint Cecilia’s Day is the occasion of a novel recital by the Ecker trio which the Fieshmen, in particular, enjoy. The first social event of the year, in the form of a dance, sponsored by one member of the Junior Class, receives the support of the Freshmen, who even at this early date, have adopted the true Regis spirit. All are happy to disperse for the Thanksgiving vacation, to return the following week, re- freshed, although, perhaps, not rested. Scene 4 (December) While the thought of the approaching Christmas holidays is ever predominant, our young hopefuls attempt to study earnestly. These attempts find a brilliant finis in the annual Christmas Party, when happy countenances are lighted by the decorations of a resplendent tree, surrounded by many fascinating packages. A jovial Santa dis- 9 triliutes his gifts to the anticipating maidens. , t midnight, on the eve of departure for the Clhristmas recess, the Juniors jiroceed througli the corridors, caroling sweetly. Thus marks the apex of gay festivities. Scene 5 (J. nu.ary) Rather amazedly do the Freshmen face their first mid-year examinations, listen- ing to many reasons, from those more experienced, as to why they should live in fear and trembling, b ut for some reason, known only to Freshmen, they rejoice with the opportunity of staying up until twelve to study. After this trying period, they meet a still newer experience, the college Retreat, under the mastery of Father Keating, from whom they harvest spiritual blessings. This grace comes to them as the manna in the desert, bringing happiness and peace to all. Scene 6 (Febru. ryj The second semester opens, and with renewed zest, our young friends again turn to their liooks. On Washington’s anniversary, the Freshmen sponsor their first social function, and the result is a most successful Dansant. The foyer is thronged with guests, and the many pretty gowns in evidence give color and tone to the festive occasion. Scene 7 (March) The Boston College Glee Club pre.senls its first concert at Regis, and the informal dance following, proves a source of pleasure and happiness to all attending. Saint Patrick’s Day is also celebrated by a formal dance, and one escort learns that an- ticpies may be cpnte collapsible at times! Scene 8 (April) The Yearlings now turn to dramatics and render worthy assistance to the pre- sentation of The Collegian, a musical comedy, which is indeed, a comedy. The climax of the basketball season occurs when our varsity departs for New York to compete with another college varsity. Oh fate, how fluctuating are thy scales! But happily, only the darkest of fates can make young hearts heavy. There are things to be done in New York, it seems, other than playing basketball! Scene 9 (May) What a host of events fill these last days of school! The precedent of Junior Week is established, one of the outstanding activities of which, is the bancjuet tendered the Juniors by their sister class. I’he Freshmen, too, have a Class Day, celebrated by a treasure hunt, and luncheon. Ascension Thursday brings the annual picnic, and the Freshmen betake themselves to Lynn Beach for an enjoyable day. The Taming of the Shrew, with the entire school in the cast, is presented on one of these glorious, but windy, spring days on the campus. 1 he wind proves too much for one little Freshman’s enormous hat, and in the middle of a choral dance, it is wafted high on the breeze only to settle a few minutes later at a considerable distance from the scene. Scene to (June) Final examinations are completed early, and overjoyed students set out for a long vacation. 120 ACT II (Time: 1930- 1931) Scene i (September) A little older and a little wiser, our maidens return to become Sophomores. Once again they hear the welcoming address at the opening Mass, and once again they form all the good resolutions to really study this year. With memories of last year still fresh in their minds, they set out to haze the Freshmen, but within a short time, hostilities cease, and friendship takes root. Scene 2 (October) Founder’s Day witnesses the first Seniors receiving their caps and gowns, and not a few Sophomores wonder w ' hen such dignity will be theirs. Father O’Brien gives the annual retreat, one that will be relived many times in the minds of the students. Scene 3 (November) The Sophomores enter into the series of inter-class basketball games, and emerge as champions. They have become scientific this year, too. “Many a time and oft” are they to be seen tripping over to the laboratory with dissecting kits in their hands, or a chemistry coat over their arms. Many mysterious concoctions are compounded, and innumerable acid burns destroy uniforms. Scene 4 (December) Christmas time means Santa and more presents, the Christmas play, the mid- night carols, and the holidays at home. Scene 5 (January) The last of the festive season is marked at Regis by an outdoor Christmas tree, around which, all gather to sing carols. Then our .Sophomores turn soberly to their preparation for mid-years. Scene 6 (February) After a fresh fall of snow, on a bright and cheery winter morning, our famed class decides to go a-sleighing by moonlight. Footsore and weary, they return after a joyous ride and a delicious self-served luncheon at a well-known Wellesley restaurant. The Boston College Glee Club entertains Regis with another sjtlendid musicale. The Sophomores conduct their second tea dance on February 22nd, and they find, among the profits and losses, a bill for damages to a tea-wagon! Scene 7 (March) Now we discover our friends making every effort to ward off the first signs of spring fever, and attempting to study with might and main, before the gentle zephyrs overpower them completely, just as the waters of Lethe. Scene 8 (April) Encouraged by their dramatic success of the previous year, the Sophomores now produce a musical comedy entitled Marrying Marian. The performance of the absent- 121 minded professor, the prim school teacher, and tlie chorines keeps the audience in a mild form of hysteria for some time. Scene 9 (May) May Day is observed for the first time at Regis. An elaborate May pole is set out upon the campus, and we see our friends, like wood-nymphs “tripping the light fantastic” and, at the same time, trying to manage colorful streamers. With the lily- pond as a background, the May Procession and Coronation of the Blessed urgin Mary are impressive and solemn. The annual picnic turns out to be a lunch-box party in the gymnasium because of inclement weather. Scene 10 (June) After final examinations are over, the first graduation causes great e.xcitement. The dramatic presentation on Baccalaureate Sunday is Iphigenia. The Sophomores, on Class Day, take a prominent part in the closing exercises. At the banquet to the Seniors, the members of the Sophomore class assist as hostesses. CJraduation culmin- ates the week and the school year. :i: 4: ac:t III (Time: 1931-1932) Scene i (September) Now our young ladies are upper-classmen. Their third registration is soon fol- lowed by a hearty welcoming party for the Freshmen. Promptly they undertake the responsibility of vigilance over their sister class, protecting them from the maltreat- ment of the Sophomores. Scene 2 (October) Once again Founder’s Day brings the conferring of caps and gowns. Father Fay, S. J., is master of the third retreat. Again the students find encouragement and peace of soul. Our Juniors become engrossed in the study of psychology, and before long, they even enjoy looking at a brain specimen. Scene 3 (November) During the Thanksgiving recess, a large representation of Juniors assemble at the Supper Dance sponsored by the Regis College Guild at the Copley Plaza. Scene 4 (December) With the spirit of Christmas in the air, our Juniors struggle through the classes, preceding the holidays. For the third time, Santa leaves a large bundle of gifts under the huge Christmas tree. The Christmas play reveals the talent of our dramatically inclined classmates. 122 Scene 5 (January) After the round of holiday gayeties, the students soberly face the problem of mid- year examinations, which require long and tedious concentration. Scene 6 (February) With the terrors of examinations in the dim and distant past, the Juniors look ahead to the future, and conduct a bridge for the purpose of obtaining class funds needed in the Senior Year. Scene 7 fMARCH) The observance of Lent causes a lull in the usual social activities. Athletics offer a diversion to many Juniors, and arrangements are made for a Junior Baseball team. Scene 8 (April) After long anticipation. Junior week opens with an elaborate Communion Break- fast. Then follows the formal banquet given by the Freshmen to the Juniors, and the bridge and tea, at which the Juniors entertain their mothers. The climax is attained with the Promenade, when “soft lights and sweet music” hold sway. A glorious week is brought to a close with a delightful tea dance. Scene g (May) The third annual picnic for our Junior class takes place at Scituate, where the usual number of snapshots are taken. For the next few days, certain individuals, who did not realize the proximity of the summer season, spend most of their time searching for sunburn remedies. Scene 10 (June) After finals. Commencement Week arrives, and on Baccaulaureate Sunday, the Juniors, for the third time have an opportunity to perform in the George Washington Pageant. For the most part, they make a brilliant showing in the chorus, disguised as colonial dames. On Sports Day, the Juniors come to the foreground, when one mem- ber of the class captures first prize at the Horse Show. As the Juniors watch this second class depart, they realize that the honor of Seniority now falls to them. ACT IV (Time: 1932-1933) Scene i (September) With becoming seriousness and dignity the Seniors return for their final year with determination to make this year a golden one. After a brief interlude, they extend a cordial welcome to the new President of the College, Sister Genevieve Marie, and to the Freshmen. 123 Scene 2 (October) On Founder ' s Day, Father Quinlan bestows upon them the academic cap and gown, which distinguish them as Seniors. A concert and lecture complete the activi- ties of the day. After an interval of several days, the Seniors enter upon their last re- treat earnestly, and they reap, to the fidl, its sjiiritual benefit. Scene 3 (November) Many Seniors make merry at the annual Supper Dance sponsored by the Guild on ' Fhanksgiving week-end. Scene 4 (December) The excellent Ghristmas play, with many talented Seniors ])ortraying roles, at- tracts a large audience. The usual Christmas Tree party for the students is replaced by the presentation of a comedy. I ' hen after the Senior Spread in Regis Hall, midnight carols are sung by the Seniors, garbed in cap and gown. Vacation begins. At the Alumnae Dance the Seniors renew many actjuaintances, while dancing away the gay hours. Scene 5 (January; Mid-years are upon them, almost immediately after returning to College, and they soon bury themselves under notebooks and textbooks. Scene 6 (February) Fhe Seniors begin eagerly the last semester, with their goal, at last, in sight. The Boston College Glee Club makes its fourth annual visit, giving another excellent con- cert. Fhe Seniors sponsor a bridge in Regis Hall for the benefit of their yearbook. Scene 7 (March; All Seniors are bending every effort to procure the coveted ninety percent in their courses. They are already thinking of those warmer days when taking examinations will not be so pleasant. Scene 8 (Aerie) On Passion Sunday, the Holy Cross Glee Club comes to Regis with an elaborate musical program. Easter vacation discloses the first engagement in the class, and all indications point to the fact that Betty Phelan will be the first bride! After the Spring vacation, final hurried preparations are made to get the Mount Regis to press. Sc:ene 9 (May; A last attempt is made to escape finals, even though there be such distractions as Junior Week, Proms, and Tea Dances. Scene 10 (June) At last the Seniors reach the pinnacle of collegiate triumph when they receive the long sought degree. The Baccaulaureate Mass and the Commencement play. As Ton Like It, open the activities. Then follow the Class Day Exercises, the tree oration, daisy chain, tea, banquet, and spread. Fond farewells are said, and the Class of 1933 de- parts from the stately portals of Regis. 124 Mary T. Foley -4 Class Prophecy It was on a Thursday, as I remember now, and we were sitting lazily around the room, awaiting the adv ent of the anticipated assembly. For, who in these days of radical cuts in allowances, can afford to absent herself from assemblies so meticulously sponsored? I will admit, however, that the fine is most reasonable, when one consid- ers that for fifty cents one can miss a lecture on Edna Wallace Hopper. But, back to my story --as we were thus sitting, we drifted cpiite unexpectedly into a discourse which ever found favor in our midst on “ten years from now.” “I wonder,” said my room- mate, “just what we’ll be doing ten years from now.” “Probably,” said I, “drinking tea and reminiscing over the carefree and joyous hours of college days, having completely forgotten how joyous it was to wait around two hours, and then go to an assembly.” “That’s not exactly my idea of excitement, but I’ll probably be doing something equally alarming.” “Optimist.” “Always.” “As a matter of fact, Margie, you, no doubt, will by that time, have made a supreme sacrifice and condescended to marry the Lord Mayor of London, or even the Prince of Wales. That is, of course, if he has acquired all the attributes which go to make for perfection.” “Being always more charitable, I won’t predict what I had in mind for you, but kindly understand that I’m not ejuite that hard to please.” “Shall I prove it?’ “Don’t bother - but I suppose by that time Alice Fitzgerald really will be well on the way to the establishment of that family of hers. Do you suppose she’ll call the oldest boy, Francis?” “One never knows! What do you think Ruth James will be doing —making out questionnaires or feeding and clothing all of Boston’s needy? She certainly takes that social work seriously. You never know when she’s going to tell you that a perfectly respectable dress is getting shabby and should be given to the poor. How about assigning the rest of the class to various functions and activities ten years hence?” “Laborious undertaking — but let’s see how wrong we prove. What should Mary Burke be doing?” “Oh! conducting a figure designing establishment, by all means. I’d have her open a Newburv ' Street Salon, and eliminate the avoirdupois, of Boston’s elite. Florence Gallagher could be a New England song bird and sing plaintively over the net works — even though such activity might provoke an old professor of hers. Mar- garet Givren ought to open a travel bureau and arrange tropical cruises for the over- burdened college student. By that time too, Eileen Mulcahy should have trained her- 126 self to sleep with greater rapidity and utilize the time saved in concentrated research work.” “Imagine Eileen wasting valuable time that way.” “Well, imagine I must, if I’m to place all our classmates in 1943. Time works unusual changes, don’t forget, and ten years might make Dot Dunn edit a book entitled “ 117 ;)’ Meekness Becomes a College Girl.” Mary Bowen, for instance, might betake herself to the Carmelites, and pray for the souls of pleasure seekers. Remember well, that I said might.” “The ‘might’ is well remembered. Christine Zubaitis ought to be married into Russian nobility to expostulate to the Communists on Christian Ethics; if one can presume her interest in Ethics to be a criterion.” “Perchance, Teresa Flaherty could review love songs. After all she’s had suflicient experience with the works of one whom the muses benignantly gifted. Rita Eavin ought to be at least, a selectwoman in Cliftondale and bring about a kinder feeling between the Church and State.” “Yes, and Mary Foley could write for Better Business. By that time her interest in the plumbing profession will have well usurped all other claims upon her time.” “By the same token, law, will no doubt, be Cdaire McNamara’s chief pursuit. You know a personal touch and human Interest are far greater stimuli to real know- ledge than a chapter on ‘law and law courts.’ All of which reminds you, I suppose, that our President can address Congress at any time, contrary to the false impressions under which many people once labored!” “Yes, I was just going to say that.” “Well, I’m glad I thought to say it first. Do you suppose Esther Donohoe might, by any chance, open a flower shop in Lowell and specialize in violets. They attract her so much she might at least, evolve a formula on how to resuscitate them once they have been rudely discarded after a formal. Peggy Bartley will no doubt be re-catalogu- ing the Lawrence Library and arranging the books with regard to the age of the readers. Or she might do research work on the college cut systems.” “How about the ‘ten chosen people?’ Who do you think they are?’ “Well, as a matter of fact, I can only select five — Ruth Sullivan, Margaret Griffin, Ruth Bradley, Esther Flannery and Helen Cronin. This gives the observing professor, according to my calculations, e.xactly fifty percent, and that, my dear, re- sembles a government mark. Isabella Murphy will no doubt be teaching history in Billingham and impressing the importance of the ‘bank moratorium of 1933.’ Mary Louise Hynes will be secretary to the Dean, I imagine.” “Do you think Edna Dunn will be Dean of Teachers’ College?” “If not, Edna, then Dorothy Colahan will surely have the position.” “Mildred Sheehan ought to be a public typist, netting a little more profit than Regis affords. A ‘thank you’ is the maximum recompense she receives from her class- mates. 27 “Helen Walsh may get a scholarship in art to Paris. However, in my opinion, she ' d refuse the offer, considering the trip would require too much e.xcrtion.’’ “May Yates undoubtedly will go to Washington to pursue her biological studies.” “True enough. Now Mary Burns, what will she l)e doing?” “Well, if Greta Garbo decides to go home to stay, there may be an opening for her in Hollywood; if Mahatma Gandhi does not claim her first. ’ “Rose Gaputo might be selected as an official hostess at Harvard Business School, and introduce the first-year men to appreciative college girls.” “I prophesy that Pauline Fitzsimmons will be giving dancing instructions, while Marion McDonnell will marry an alumnus from the college of the “Stein Song.” “Judy Saunders will still salute mankind in general with the famous ‘Howdy.’ Madeline Murphy will have selected to forsake the profession of teaching to be a doctor’s wife in spite of her resolutions. Dot I ' ennell will of course, be an ardent sup- porter of the army, telling her children how the annual presentation of the Regis pageant always clashed with activities at West Point. “Well, how about ‘Kay’ Hogg? You evidently don’t think that she is due to live up to traditions.” “You mean, become a nun? Oh, no, I have far different plans for Kay. She and Mary Foley will be comparing household notes and discussing the varying tastes of their respective spouses. Helen Quinn will be managing tea rooms, and Ruth Neelon organizing choirs. Kay Mc. nally will be a prominent horsewoman, and Antoinette . mendola will be a slav ' e to cancer research. Mary Condon will upset the dictates of the usual, and become a most vociferous e.xtoller on the joys of single blessedness. Of course we know that Betty Phelan will join the ranks of early brides — and live happily ever after.” “I guess that includes everyone, e.xcept myself, and Fm not at all sure what Fll do tomorrow, so to see myselfin ten years is utterly impossible.” “Well, I know just where you’ll be in ten years. You’ll be . . . ” “Margaret, there’s the bell for assembly and you know how the Dean objects to dilatory students. Get your cap and gown and come along.” So ended our prophetic tcte-a-tcte, as we hurried to that famous Thursday after- noon assembly. Doris G.

' 33 Class Poem 1 he dusky shadows creep across the hill. The crimson sun is sinking, sinking low. A ruddy Hush is tinging lake and rill, With night forecast by zephyrs ' faintest chill ••That swiftly through the pines and poplars blow. Thus, all about, there stands a world aglow. Above, a canopy of azure blue, But yonder in the east at landscape’s end. This coverlet assumes a paler hue, Where. looms the maiden moon full clear in view. The airy clouds, now tinged with pink, attend, While low to earth their fleecy billows bend. And so the radiant mistress holds full sway, In evening skies adorned with deepest shades. Her cheery promise of another day Inspires the pilgrim on his weary way. Her white light gleams in nooks and woodland glades, ’Til ’neath her silvery smiles each shadow fades. Amid this splendor of the moonlit night, A host of thoughts come surging through my soul: How, Regis, you have been to us the light. And guided us along the paths of right. Made known to us the truths on virtue’s scroll. Revealed to us the one Eternal Goal. Just as the moon lights up the darkened sky. Thy precepts light out lives from year to year; In troubled hours on thee we shall rely To show us where life’s hidden beauties lie. Through thee, all shades of doubt will disappear, Until the Way, the Truth, the Life, is near.

Now facies the hum of voices from the room, ‘‘And all the air a solemn stillness holds,” Save where the teacher calls her roll of doom. And answer comes from voices now not l:)old; Save that from yonder platform-mounted desk The belligerent teacher doth by marks complain Of such as, failing, have not done their best.
