w E have tried to capture in the pages of this book the Catholic spirit which is found at Regis and which characterizes in particular the Class of 1938. This spirit which is un- mistakable is yet difficult to define. It is characterized by these things: the know- ledge that man’s end in life is God; an appreciation of the reality of the super- natural; and an understand- ing and application of the concept of Christian charity. It is manifested by a gay- ety and light-heartedness, which to the uninitiate seems frivolous, but which is, in reality, but the natural expression of our inner con- victions. Among these inner convictions may be men- tioned the unimportance of the things that are Caesar’s, such as honors and wealth, and the great importance of the things that are God’s — light-hearted gayety and peace of soul, born of a steadfast faith.

FACULTY It gives me great pleasure to send tny bless ing and most cordial congratulations to the mem- bers of the Class of 1938. As members of the Graduating Class of Regis College, you have been blessed ivith a price- less privilege, a Catholic education. The eternal principles of truth and justice and charity have been the basis of your training. By word and example for the past four years, the lofty standards and high ideals of true Christian ivomanhood have been impressed on your minds aiid hearts and souls. Under the careful guidance of the devoted Sisters of Saint Joseph and through the sacri- fices of your good parents, you are noiv educated Catholic ivomen. It is my fervent hope and prayer that you ivill always keep fresh in your tninds and hearts the lessons that you have learned at Regis College; that you will ever remain true to your Catholic principles; and that Our Divine Lord ivill bless and guide each one of you throughout all your future lives. f f If.

Oh, Regis . Morning to night, keeping in sight, Regis ideals so true. Stepping along, singing a song, Regis, we all love you. Marion Mulhern Senior Group Joyful at having achieved the objective of four years’ effort, yet tearful withal, the Class of 1938 bids fond farewell to its Alma Mater. The bond uniting this famous class is composed of spiritual threads, memories of laugh- ter and sadness, of cooperation and love, one for another; Sister Etheldrita, A.B. Sister Gretchen, D.S. Class of 1938 and as such, cannot be severed either through time or by distance. Thus the spirit of 1938 will live forever in the halls of Regis and in the hearts of its loyal members. Facing the unknown future courageously the Class “steps along,” enriched by Regis friendships. Sister Vianney, A.B. Sister Williamina, A.B. 503 Beacon Street Boston, Massachusetts Mary Jalie Broderick A.B. Mary is a curious mixture of a little girl and a femme du monde; little girl in appearance, with her tightly-cropped curly hair and small rounded face; grown-up in experience and learned in the school of responsibility. Mary is loyal to her friends, a trait which is evidenced by her kindness and thoughtfulness. She is strictly a feminist, ladylike in deportment, courteous to all, and deferential to authority. These qualities are bal- anced by her impetuous affectionate nature and determined manner. Whatever her many ambitions may be, Mary is most certainly suited for a domestic career. Her interest and talent are definitely those which should make her capable of managing a model household . ACTIVITIES Students’ Spiritual Coun- cil 1, 2, 3, 4. Le Cenacle Litteraire 1, 2.

[ 52 ] 30 Fanning Avenue Norwich, Connecticut Mary Smith Burke A.B. Mary has a gentle, but determined manner. Her record at Regis has been one of genuine accomplishment. Deep concentration on her studies has brought fruitful results. Since her hrst year, Mary has steadily developed her French conversational powers and this year distin- guished herself as a linguist in the lead of an important intercollegiate dramatic production. Generously, Mary has listened to and sympa- thized with more prominent classmates, but being more wise than they, she always reserved her own opinion. Her example of perseverance and quiet industry has frequently provided an effective reminder to less conscientious class members. The aforementioned gentle, determined manner has extended beyond scholastic pursuits, for it has been felt even as far as the Chestnut Hill Heights !

In addition to her quiet graciousness, Lillian has many other pleasing assets including poise, a subtle sense of humor, and the ability to har- monize (with Kay of course). Her musical versatility has been best manifested in her unique rendition of the familiar Basin Street Blues and the lilting notes of her melodious alto which swelled the beauty of the Schola Cantorum, of which she was an indispensable member. Adept at organizing, Lillian inaugurated the formal dinner party at Christmas for the resident students, which promises to be a college tradition at Regis. In the future may her hne scholastic standing and the sterling qualities of her character reap their due success in her chosen field, the business world.

Virginia’s hobby is Vermont, where according to her, “the sap is always running,” but ’38 will ever associate her with witty skirmishes and appreciative professors. This calm unconcerned young lady has been twice president of her class — during her sophomore year, and again in her senior year. She has the enviable faculty of being non- chalantly clever — or should we say cleverly nonchalant? The same democratic unselhshness and simplicity, admired by her own class, have made Ginny a favorite with the underclassmen. After four suc- cessful years at Regis, concentrating in Home Economics, she intends to train for nursing in the Fall. Best of luck, Ginny, in your chosen field, and may we remind you, that nurses may not rest every time they see a patient yawn ! [55J ACTIVITIES Students ' Spiritual Coun- cil 1, 2, 3, 4.

Speaking of the different attributes of the Class of ’3S, Ann ' s Latin beauty, greatly enhanced by her captivating smile, might be aptly suggested. Ann wears her “difference” very gracefully and relinquishes it altogether on St. Patrick’s Day when she sports a green ribbon along with the rest of us. Her charming rendition of Stars Fell on Alabama, and her clever impersonation of Sonja Henie, without the skates, are now among the better memoirs of 1938. But it is not ours to overlook Ann in her serious mood as she presented a lesson in methods class or spoke in the rhythmic melody of her native tongue, for it was then she en- gaged our rapt attention!

Mention must necessarily be made of Eileen’s power of versification for this spon- taneous art has resulted in her commemorating the more serious mo- ments of our class in rhyme. Her versatility is proven by the fact that her adroitness in “placing” baskets, and “goaling” the hockey puck arc recorded in the college sport annals. Numerous duties as officer of the sodality and as history major have never prevented Eileen from participating in any diversion for the relaxation of the mind.

We cannot resist the temptation to quote Wordsworth’s “Perfect woman nobly planned, to warn, to comfort and command,” in charac- terizing Kay. That quality of leadership so difficult to render amenable to incessant demands, has always been gracefully borne by our Presi- dent of Student Government and our former class president. Kay has led us to basketball victories times without number. She has blazed a path of glory in “la langue francaise” and has even imparted some of her vast store to us in demonstration of her teaching ability. To be steadily cheerful and cheering through responsibilities and to remain affable under provocation is no small accomplishment, yet we have seen it in Kay.

Small though she may be, Rosemary fills a large place in our friendship. Four with sunny curls and roguish eyes whom we knew as freshmen. Al- though she lives a good distance from school, Rosemary is a conhrmed “day-hop.” Every morning, in rain or in sunshine, her green Terra- plane completes its customary trip from Brockton to Weston, always in for this flower-like miss.

Florence is one of the intrepid crew that daily wends its way down to the chemistry laboratory. We refuse to give credence to the rumor that the new science building is being erected as the necessary consequence of Florence’s novel experiments in the old building! In spite of the fact that Florence comes from Hopkinton, the only marathon she ever runs is from the main building to the science “lab”; otherwise she takes life serenely and calmly. We have never seen her milled or disturbed. Although she is efficient and capable, Florence has the rare grace to conceal these virtues under an implacable exterior.

In Eileen, we meet one who actually lives as she thinks. Optimism is the keynote of her character. To compete with Eileen on any ordinary day, demands a tremendous amount of energy. We are always “wary” of going “for a little walk” with Eileen who sets a time record on each excursion. Eileen is genuine and true. These qualities, coupled with a wholesome and irresistible joy and candor, account for the popularity of a certain room in the “wing.” We will miss you, Eileen, but happy memories of four golden years will ever be ours.

Blonde Helen, of our class, most quickly adapted herself to college study routine. For four years her scholastic standard has been very high. Helen was always the first to have each assignment prepared (not infrequently convenient for her friends). Every phase of History she has found most absorbing, and adopted it as her major subject. This choice had a salutary effect upon our “table talk” since Helen proved a most reliable interpreter of current events. Historical research has been coupled with travel in equipping Helen to argue her point from first- hand information. Each vacation finds our news commentator, further exploring America or the Bermudas. Erom this may we not predict that Helen will go far in her quest of knowledge?

Quiet, efficient, and dependable, she has the disposition and talents which should make her successful in her chosen field of work. As for Mar- garet herself, we shall remember her best for her generosity, her sense of humor, and her never-failing support in any undertaking.

Myra is a perfect exponent of the “via media.” She balances a love of things scientific with a keen interest in the art of music. Although an ardent chemistry major, Myra is most adept in the science of trumpet- blowing. Myra has spent many a moment denouncing the wrongs of the world in general, for lost causes find in her a staunch champion. Much of her boundless vitality is expended thus; the remainder, being absorbed in the intricacies of chemical experiments. In her free mo- ments she is sought by friends because her mirth and laughter have scattered many a dark cloud. She has enlivened an otherwise dull occasion with her keen wit. For her many engaging qualities Myra will live long in the hearts of her classmates. ACTIVITIES Students’ Spiritual Coun- cil 1, 2, 3, 4. Historical Club 1.

Many of us will smilingly remember her propensity for pretended innocence when accused of some mischief openly committed.

Just think of the splendid work she did in adding names to our patron list during junior Week; in adding prestige to Regis by her attendance at so many Catholic Action functions; in adding to our general sense of happiness by going out of her way to do little things for other people.

Our powers of persuasion have been taxed to the utmost in helping Rita to overcome her inferiority complex. After four years of hard labor, we have succeeded to a slight degree in convincing her that she is a distinct asset to the Class of 1938. Lest perhaps in the future, Rita reverts to that former state of mind, we take this opportunity to sup- port our convictions. We admire Rita primarily for her dynamic per- sonality, which has been contagious.

They have been so long-practiced in the art of repartee that there is little advantage in their challenging each other anymore, but outsiders beware! Genevieve has that sense of eternal values which is inclined to minimize the demands of the present, a faculty which makes for happiness of an infectious kind. Please let us call your attention to the Dean’s list — a testimonial of her persever- ance, despite an evident impartiality to things scholastic.

Anua Marie Golden B.S. 85 Park Street Stoughton, Massachusetts Anna has taken up dietetics both as a vocation and an avocation. Her home-made diets, to be followed in the interests of health and beauty, are guaranteed to be effective, in one way or another. Anna makes her own variety of humor. In a class of would-be wits, Anna really would be one — if she could be English about her own witticisms. Anna is still the schoolgirl among us — she giggles, and mostly at the wrong time. This is also hard on us — whose risibilities lie so near the surface. On occasion however, Anna is quite the business woman. She uses her native tongue with efficiency thereby convincing her audience. Anna is a paradox — light-hearted enough to be lovable, sensible enough to be reliable. This is what we call balance.

She possesses an insatiable thirst for knowl- edge and an unbounded capacity for argument, both of which qualities make for interest in the classroom. Many a lecture has been enlivened by Bernadette’s interposing with, “Well, I don’t see why.’’ Sometimes we think “she only does it to be different” but on second thought we realize that Bernadette would deem this an unworthy motive. Unlike many of us Bernadette argues, not aimlessly but to arrive at a dehnite conclusion. Our fondest hope for Benny is that some day she will meet someone with all the answers, for only then will she be happy. ACTI ITIES Students’ Spiritual Coun- cil 1, 2, 3, 4.

Even as a freshman, her dignity, fine reserve, and her poise were a marvel to us all. In receiving her cap and gown, she seemed, “a woman finished, fully grown, merely coming to her own. ’ ’ Mary’s beauty is not alone “without, ’ ’ for how shall such serene charm stand unsupported, but like that of the “King’s daugh- ter’’ lies “within.” Mary excels in dramatics and in general scholar- ship.

One singularity in Aurelia which worries the rest of us, who, inci- dentally are afraid of missing anything, is her propensity for witti- cisms of the pointless variety. To our facetiousness she remains imper- vious, yet, in due time, retaliates in her own sophomoric manner. Aurelia is individual in other ways too. Reliability, certainly an aqui- sition for any of us, is a dominant virtue in Aurelia. Skillfully, c|uietly, and quickly, she accomplishes much. Have you noticed that she wears a pince-nez — perhaps to compensate for her petite stature? Do not be dismayed if, as a result of close scrutiny, you cringe under her profes- sorial glance, for the twinkle in her eye is only once removed by glass! A slight and neat person, Aurelia will surely make her way through life, literally, like a trim arrow. ACTIVITIES Students’ Spiritual Coun- cil 1, 2, 3, 4.

In this enviable characteristic she is almost unique among us, as she is, likewise, by virtue of her shining braided coiffure.

Mildness, dignity, and refinement mark Julie’s every word and deed. In her. Sociology, her chosen field of en- deavor, has a worthy exponent.

Strangely enough, no one is more surprised than Helen when admired for her humor, for one of her most pleasing qualities is her whole-hearted enjoyment in the fun of others. Last summer she was the envy of many of her comrades when she took an extended European tour. But note, others must boast for Helen while she looks on, shy and demure. Herein lies your charm!

Mary possesses a happy, well-schooled disposition which bravely sur- mounts every disappointment and sorrow. A ready smile is her most endearing attribute. Because of her spontaneous wit and sententious remarks she is a most welcome addition to any gathering. Mary has done exceptional work in the field of sociology particularly in the psychological aspect of the work together with the accompanying field work. She shows a wide appreciation of music, being deeply inter- ested in classical as well as popular melodies. Her talent at the piano makes Mary especially popular with her classmates when dancing is in order at social functions. An active interest in college life combined with efficiency and generosity have made of Mary’s student days a happy prelude to the longer theme of life. ACTIVITIES 40 Lovvden Avenue Somerville, Massachusetts Mary Constance Macdonald A.B. We have endeavored for fours years to arouse Connie to a slight pitch of enthusiasm but to no avail. Perhaps quaffing from the Classical cup has given her this charming placidity. It has ever been a revelation of pure genius to watch Connie withhold the facts for which professors are always probing. Nothing short of the third degree wrings the whole story from this lady of few words. She shrugs off all attackers with an air of “What difference will it make a hundred years from now?” There must be something in this philosophy of Connie’s.

Her consolation extended beyond a wider scope than this, however, because she had the art of dismissing lightly such misfortunes as examinations, overdue assignments, and faulty weather. Yet, apparently nonchalant, she was a scholar. Her recitations were almost analogous to the performance of a deep sea diver. A cool plunge into silent depths, a momentary pause, and Ger- trude emerged with the pearl of knowledge, clear and shining. You cannot mislead us now, Gertrude. As Freshmen, we applied to you the adage “still waters run deep’ ’ but, during College days, we have looked “below the surface ” and have found a staunch and loyal comrade.

Despite the preponderance of Irish blood in her veins and Irish wit in her speech, it is her wee bit of Scotch that comes to the surface on special occasions and is evinced in her genuine (?) Scottish burr. Mary’s appearance belies her true nature; her famous oxfords give her an air of haughtiness that is at variance with her infectious giggle and the merry twinkle in her eye. She carries her love of things scholastic to amazingly great lengths. Instead of the legendary lamb who followed her prototype “wherever she might go,’’ it was a book that followed our Mary not “to school one day’’ but, - of all places, to the slums of Boston.

Any affair which Lois guides is a success from the beginning, because she possesses those assets which make the social leader — sociability, poise, and intelligence. When she came to us, Lois reminded us a bit of Claudette Colbert. Even her resonant voice sounded like Claudette’s. But now, when we think of Lois we cannot crowd in any association because Lois is distinctly individual. Lois stars in dramatics. We rel- ished her most in that “all over the place” Chinese plav. Other colleges have borrowed our Lois to add feminine finesse to their theatricals. Lois had only the technicalities of sociology to learn from her pre- ferred work.

We marvel that such a vast amount of energy should be concentrated into the mere four feet eleven and a half that is Midge. If her physical and mental stature were proportionate Midge would tower above the tallest. This “mighty atom” has done much to glorify the Class of 1938. We have applauded since Freshman year the nonchalant manner in which she has quietly shattered all scholastic records. As a result of investigation we have reached the conclusion that Midge studies while sleeping; her waking hours are utilized in the pursuit of other interesting projects — polemics, for example.

The much-quoted line, “Beauty is its own excuse for being,’ ’ might well have been written about Anna. However, her far-heralded charm is only a minor feature. Casual light-heartedness is her main attraction. Anna can always be counted on to “cut” class at the slightest provoca- tion and be included in any madcap adventure. Her presence heightens the enjoyment of any occasion, be it classroom or extra-curricula. The “rec” room will long resound with the echo of Anna’s laughter.

Life is full of surprises — not the least of which is Mary McNally. We once thought that the bashful Mary who blushed timidly and had to be reminded to “speak up” was shy by nature, but “still waters run deep.” Our first impressions have changed considerably since those early days. We have discovered, beneath a retiring exterior, the real Mary, humorous, charming and affable, one who has given joy to all of us. No blustering, pseudo-efficient, mechanical fact-gatherer is Mary. She is the genuine, womanly, considerate social worker whose interest is not in filing cards of data, but in diligently seeking ways and means of alleviating suffering.

It is re- freshing to find a girl who never offends by pseudo-witty criticisms, who is refreshingly candid and whose charm lies in her unusual con- sideration for others.

We were happy, as Kathy had gone through her years at Regis with never a wrinkled brow or a worried frown.

Quiet and retiring, never aspiring to the limelight, generous with true Franciscan prodigality, Mary is a friend from whom we part reluc- tantly. Mary’s car has always been found adequate to accommodate another passenger on the daily trip between Brighton and Weston, a fact which excuses the occasional “sit-down strikes” in which it indulges. Mary’s quiet exterior may be misleading to those who know her not. But we who have had the privilege of making her acquaintance during the past four years have discovered that her quiet exterior con- ceals an alert and observing mind. Mary is by nature and by choice a scientist. That she may have the happiness she deserves is the sincere wish of her classmates. ACTI ' ITIES Students’ Spiritual Coun- cil 1, 2, 3, 4.

Whatever else the name of Peggy Sheehan may come to mean in the future, to her friends at Regis it will always recall a brilliantly satirical diatribe against some august personage or theory delivered in an ex- tremely bored voice with a face carefully devoid of any expression. How many times have we seen the mighty fallen and the feet of clay exposed after a typical “Peggyism.” To Regis, too, Peggy will bring to mind these things — a brilliant mind doing its best to hide its bril- liance behind a careful pretence of mediocrity; a most exquisite and sensitive appreciation of humor; a hatred of small-mindedness; and an abhorrence of expressing emotion or excitement about anything, with but two exceptions — injustice to anyone, and her Catholic faith.

We welcomed her as a mem- ber of our class when she transferred during Freshman year from New Rochelle. Very few entertainments have been presented without her, for Rita’s dance-rhythm is well known. To her list of accomplishments we can add one that is quite unusual ability to play the harp. Fortun- ately in Rita, there is such a balance that neither her spiritual nor scholastic life has suffered because of her many extra-curricula inter- ests.

With loving and grateful hearts, we look back on the days spent with Mary; loving because of her sympathy, grateful because of her leader- ship. How well we remember that when we pleased her, she gave us one of her slow-forming smiles! If not, there was a lapse of silence, which signified momentary displeasure. Yet, it was just this calm dis- approval that won for Mary the admiration of all, for indeed she had the courage of her convictions. She has carried responsibility with the outlook that it was a privilege to serve. In every case, skill, clear vision and ingenuity brought success, be it as the artist of our yearbook or as the occasional chairman of our college activities.

Her syncopated contralto voice has been an indis- pensable delight for all entertainments. Remember her renditions at the Junior Prom, Tea Dance, Mothers’ Bridge, Junior Banquet? Oh, those melodies linger on ! It cannot be said that Betty’s talents are few — she has shown outstanding ability in the thespian art, her knowledge of color and design is portrayed in her everyday chic.

Betty is really a little girl playing at being grown-up and sophisticated . She will be cross with us for telling you, but since we are among friends we hope for forgiveness. We are not trying to detract anything from her high efficiency quota, or to give the impression that Betty is not quali- fied to be the finest kind of secretary. Versatility is Betty’s to a great degree. Her activities range from President of the Secretarial Club to hair-dresser “par excellence.” We have never been able to understand why Betty has not lent herself to Glee Club activities. Her voice has peculiarly musical and lilting quality which would seem to indicate latent talent. Look under the “bushel,” Betty. ACTIVITIES Students’ Spiritual Coun- cil 1, 2, 3, 4.

This trait which has been the cause of numerous, amusing episodes in both class-room and extra-curricula activities, is an extricable part of Betty’s charm. Of course, she has an unusual disposition and we admire her sympa- thetic nature, but we love her most and shall remember her longest for this quality. She was always sought in our happy gatherings where her presence lent zest and fun. Truly can it be said that a, “merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance,” for Betty’s cheerfulness was contag- ious.

Their conservatism is the noble kind which preserves the ideal mean while infusing new ideas to make their activities Class of 1939 characteristic of ingenuity. They cleverly carried out a year imbued with light-hearted gayety and solemn thought. Above all, ’39 possesses that indehnable quality, called the backbone of any organization — an ability to accomplish big undertakings in a quiet way. [ 115 ] K O. U. Belles Outline of Junior History Freshmen and Sophomores ordinarily pass unnoticed through their first months at college, as they try to establish their niche in collegiatelife. Inspire of tradition, we the Class of ’39 made future glories evi- dent in excelling in all activities even when Prospective Seniors registered as underclassmen. W’e were sharpened to the traditions of former years in behaving as “collegiennes” and so, all we were concerned about was giving the Freshmen that example, so often called “good.” Why, our example was so super- ior, that for a day the Freshmen thought we were the alumnae! To some underclassmen, we were those who had matured sufficient- ly so that gymnasium classes were no longer prescribed — to the Seniors, we were those privileged to live a year without worry of comprehensives. Seniors envied us; Sophomores loved us; Freshmen wor- shipped us, — We were the Juniors! This position of being a Junior, the coveted title of “upperclassmen” which with its glory, really did attach a duty — that of guiding our little Freshmen sisters who so timidly (?) came to Regis. And did ♦ 1 o n we act in our capacity? Ask them! Thank you, it was a pleasure! Of course we couldn’t stop the big bad bells from wak- ing them up in the morning, nor present each with an elevator key, but we hope that our guidance in helping them to chase Old Man Trouble away and to strengthen a spirit of love for Regis, en- kindled strong alma mater pride among them. To get back to ourselves — the days after the 1937 Registration were spent in calm- ing excited souls down to college routine. But then, didn’t we start up a party for the Freshmen, after containing ourselves till October! A mock trial, supplemented by individual acts in a ’’song and dance” fashion, exposed our talents. Rosemary Burke quite naturally instigated the party, since she had been elected Class President earlier in the year. Peg Murphy as hce- President also supported her in projects throughout the year, and Kay Smiddy gathered up money successfully as Trea- Juniors absorbing French Civilization surer, while Charlotte Ruiter attended to her duties as Secretary. W’ell done, thou good and faithful classmates! [ 116 ] There wasn’t a Dean’s List, oraclubcon- test, or an outside activity on the campus in which the Junior marvels were not in- cluded. Of course the Juniors had been active in many ventures of the student body before their private party for the Freshmen. On Founders’ Day, October 2, when the Seniors received the cap and gown, we stood in wondrous anticipation of the next Regis Cap and Gown Day when we (just imagine, ivi) would wear that same garb, for the first time. W’hile Sophomores scurried hither with corsages for their respective Seniors, and Freshmen went thither snapping (with cameras) this spectacle new to them, we were present, hut onlv in body and words of congratulation, for in spirit we visualized the Founders’ Day of 1938. ith a heigh-ho and vision of cap and gown to be earned, we entered vigorously into the spirit of study. Dr. Otis Kelly’s dehnition of man entirely revolutionized our conception of the word. At last we found out what man really was and agreed with our psychology professor when he Our famous Psychology professor said, that man is unique, whether he be in the Navy or back in the home town still trying to make good. But, oh critics, theThirty-Ninersdid not restrict themselves to studies. On the Stu- dent Government Council appeared the names of Ruth Ford and Beth Carroll who cheerfully executed theirgoverning powers. Kay Tracy, as president piloted the Span- Sodalicy enthusiasts ish Club with the aid of Virginia Breen, vice-president. Kay also served as Junior Representative in the Dramatic Club with Mary Lind who in turn, held office as vice-president in the Reading Club. The Ethelon Club vice-president was none other than our own Barbara Sullivan. The song birds in the Glee Club selected Peg Ford to be their secretary. Eleanor O’Hare seemed to be quire the secretary in both Sigma Tau Phi and the International Relations Club. Sigma Tau Phi also voted a Junior as treasurer, Dorothea Murray. hat scientists these mortals be! The Louis Pasteur Club claimed Anne Lallin and Mary Eden to be its respective secre- tary and treasurer. There’s nothing like being secretary of the Secretarial Club, Elinore Rvan, so you must have been oh, so invaluable! Beth Mahoney took care of the money for the Math Club in the position of treasurer. The Kegis Herald K E U I .s 117 was captained by our English majors who rook journalism this year. Thus engaged in so many activities we discovered ourselves saying Merry Christ- mas! We extended this greeting to the other students and faculty by presenting Club officers galore! Down Fido, a one-act comedy, just before Christmas holidays. The cast was com- posed of Mary Lind, Charlotte Ruiter, Ter- ry Corbett, Dot Murray, Kay Tracy, Isabel Carrol, Beth Carroll, and Anne Burke. We further carried out our Christmas message that night by tossing confetti to the Sen- iors as they caroled aloft to the heavens on the parterre. Christmas vacation popular- ized songs with lines such as ‘Tm oh, oh, so much in love!” Wasn’t it so, Ann Early? After mid-years Juniors awoke to the fact that the back bone of the year had been broken for them. Who knows where or when? But there we were. In the middle of February, Mary Lind had been chosen to represent Regis in the Intercollegiate Symposium on Christian Marriage. The Junior Basketball Team had defeated the Alumnae by a large margin, too, that month. It may be informational for some to know that the Juniors have gained the s 1 9 3 a honor of having the star basketball team for three years in a row. They have had three strikes from jealous teams, but they are not out! Questions as to who likes music at night, dancing with Holy Cross men. Harvard football games, men on the campus, and policemen on their beats, could be answered by such people as Mar- garet Hart, Margaret Landers, Bunny Nadeau, drginia Broderick and Betty Cuniff. Bur we won’t say which questions they answer. Then our big affair. Junior W ' eek, an - ticipated itself when we elected com- mittees. Elinore Corbett was chosen as chairman. Other chairmen elected were: Margaret Hart, favors; Elinore Ryan, patrons; Olga De Simone, decorations; and Peggy Foley, orchestra. Winter brought its colds and the class suffered the loss of Beth Carroll for six weeks, while she battled with pneumonia. In March, spring put in an early appearance for a few days and did we take advantage! Why, some of our braver members walked to Junior Prom chairman [ 118 ] junior Prom committee Weston for Mass one spring morn! The Convention of Sodalities brought forth Juniors galore. Beth Carroll introduced the principal speaker and her classmates nobly supported her in making the Con- vention the marvelous success that it was. Retreat we enjoyed and so went home for Easter Vacation or Annapolis, or ? as the case may have been. On our return to college we were begin- ning Junior W ' eek — really and truly ours. Some such little song might have been heard about the corridors — Sally Bosketti (for example): “Can you make my Junior Prom, Billy Boy, Billy Boy, can you make my Junior Prom, charming Billy?’ ’ Himself : “I can make your Junior Prom, quick as a thunder and lightning storm. I’ll be there to make you happy, charming Sally.’’ Lew Tobin played sweetly and rhyth- mically for our dancing feet and all we can say about the Prom is, “Oh what a beauti- ful memory!’’ The men came. Peg Murphy received her orchids, we weren’t conscious of the rain, and romances were furthered. W’e could ask no more. Even Charlotte Ruiter, Louise McNamee, and Barbara Sullivan in spite of far-away friends, en- joyed “promming” to its fullest extent. The Reading-Contest winner, also Beth Carroll — one of our very own — marked the Juniors as shining in still another held of the extra-curricula. The May Procession with its fairest of fair Seniors introduced the lovely custom of having six Juniors attired in blue, there- by adding color to the day. Our tall dig- nified members who brought “flowers of the fairest” were Barbara Sullivan, Mar- garet Ford, Miriam Donovan, Mary Buck- ley, Rosemary Burke and Helen Flynn. Mayflowers and spring’s foliage on the campus supported our morale during the trying days of hnals. That feeling of close- ness to saying farewell to Regis came over us at the Senior Spread and Commence- ment when we realized that we were next in line to marching up for our degrees. In preparing for our banner year the student body voted Beth Carroll as President of the Student Government, and Louise McNamee, Vice-President. Tea Dance intermission This will be our last summer as college students. Then to the eventful year of “’39“ will we be coming back, for we realize that — “The past is a story told The future may be writ in gold.” M.

Eileen Moynihan [ 125 ] ♦ Sophomore Group The Class of 1940 has repeated its success of last year. Characteristic of their versatility, members of the class have been outstanding in academic, social and athletic life. Modest in success, undaunted by defeat, the Class of 1940 has imitated its Sister Class of 1938 in fame. Untrue Class of 1940 to tradition, this Sophomore Year has not been one of un- certainty and aimless wandering, but one which will live forever in our minds as a pleasant stepping-stone to greater things. As upperclassmen of tomorrow may our joy in life at Re is continue. “We Stoop to Conquer” “Pride, where wir fails, steps in to our de- fense. And fills up all the mighty void of sense.” W ITH characteristic enthusiasm the Class of ’40 returned to the fold in September 1937, a year’s valuable experi- ence to their credit and three more of golden opportunity ahead! We joined in the rejoicing over the large entrance class, bur our joy was slightly terror-tinged as we watched their number mount. It wasn’t until all were officially registered and the heads of the freshmen accurately counted, that we felt capable of reassert- ing our supremacy in quantity, and we hoped, in quality. It was with the aid of the Faculty and through the untiring efforts of the upper- classmen that we ceded gracefully to the freshmen our positions as “college darl- ings,” and slipped into the less preten- tious role of sophomores. We realized re- luctantly that, for us, ignorance was no longer excusable — merely accountable! The first event of importance occurred October 2nd, Founders’ Day. Here we be- held our beloved Big Sisters invested with the cap and gown. Wistfully we witnessed the garb of seriousness and dig- nity enwrap them, and thereafter we gazed Our Highest Hopes I 1 9 a 8 upon “our Seniors” with eyes raised a shade higher. Despite the fact that humili- ty became our chief identification mark throughout the year, we reserved one cor- ner of our hearts in which we fanned a tiny spark of pride — pride for our Sister Class. Our greatest disappointment of the year took place at the very outset, and only our magnanimity preserved us from over- whelming bitterness! For an entire year we had cherished prospects of putting into execution a few of the ideas prompted by our freshman initiation. Our hour of tri- umph arrived, but we celebrated it in an unexpected and unprecedented manner. Instead of a week of jollification at fresh- man expense, we were informed that sophomores were no longer allowed the privilege of “welcoming” the most recent arrivals in the customary and time-hon- 4 Uninitiated Freshmen oured style; that barbarous practice had become “old-fashioned” overnight. As a consequence we scuffed along the corri- dors with darkened brows, visualizing the chaotic state into which the younger gen- erations would no doubt lapse because of our sparing the rod. It w ' as true that having once selected our various major subjects the class was [ 128 ] widely scattered, hut as a slight compen- sation there were enthusiastic triweekly rallies in the Philosophy Class. But even here we were once more divided — those with and those against the professor! The “pro’s” cried strongly in favour of air- tight, weather-stripped ventilation, while the few uncomfortable “con’s” protested weakly, and succeeded intermittently in raising the windows a hair’s breath, only to be promptly outvoted and resmothered. Recitations were of considerable aid in the quest of slenderized pulchritude, for breakfast before Philosophy Class was unthinkable and lunch after it impossible. Here grew firm the bonds of unity and sympathy, as each victim gulped ambigu- ous answers to quizzical questions. How- ever, the professor succeeded with toler- able effectiveness in worrying us through A Priori — A Posteriori Conclusions the course, but let no one presume to ques- tion us too closely upon the fine distinc- tions between our a priori and a posteriori conclusions! From time to time little dissertations tinging on “pep-talks” were given by our various teachers who occasionally found us defective in those small points that dis- tinguish a member of “Regis College for W’omen” from the rest of the fair sex. Talks on politeness are not altogether un- familiar to the Catholic College student but It is seldom that they result in embar- rassment for the instructor. But Regis girls are “different” as one teacher was to dis- cover all too painfully. She had been forced to call our attention to the fact that it is customary and courteous to rise when an older person or one of higher station enters the room. Earnestly we accepted the gentle words of correction and resolved to give the matter our personal attention in the future. A moment later we were inter- rupted by a sturdy knock upon the door. Sister rose to admit the strangers, while as one body we jumped from our chairs and stood at attention. In walked, with mar- tial tread, the janitor bearing a steplad- der, and in his wake, the painter! Yet not even after we had recognized the new- comers to he masculine did a muscle flinch. For one long minute we stood, as the workmen made their way to a defective window. It was not until we were once more safely ensconced in our seats that pride gave way to dismay as the mortihed glance of our teacher informed us of our error. The month of January was signihcant on the third floor for just one event out- side of examinations — namely the “feud!” ♦ [ 129 ] The participants were chiefly Janet Ahern and Eileen Moynihan versus Louise For- rest and Constance Dever. The provocation for such a circumstance has never been completely determined, most likely be- cause the foundation was never an actual fact. W’e are informed that they derived their idea from the record, “The Martins and the Coys,” hut unlike that sad tale they brought theirs to a happy conclusion! One bright Thursday afternoon proved a red-letter day in the otherwise hum- drum lives of five hopefuls of the Sopho- more Class. The occasion arrived when Regis was honored by the Classic Guild which presented scenes from various Shakespearean dramas. The gymnasium lights were dimmed and the audience sat breathless. Along the sidelines five aspir- ing Bernhardts nervously fingered pro- grams and cleared their throats. Silence continued to reign until the last scene in Macbeth. Then, as one man, those Sopho- Aspiring Bernhardts mores rose to the occasion and brought honour and glory to the Class of ’40. To- gether, they invaded the stage door and were quickly assembled behind the cur- tain by Lady Macbeth, and there the fam- ous “mob” scene was enacted as never be- fore. Mournfully we groaned and wailed in turns. Never before in the annals of the drama did Macbeth meet death so glori- I o ;i H ously. Such a debut was met with hearty congratulations by fellow-classmates as the final act drew to a close and the “mob” took their bow. W ho knows the funda- mental cause for such vehement vocalizing? Was it done with the best interests of Shakespeare’s immortality at heart, or did they feel the need of emotional outburst? At any rate, hearty recommendations will be given the budding artists in the event that chance should bring about their em- barking upon theatrical careers. The French production “Esther” was perhaps the most ambitious attempt of the year. Given jointly by Boston Coll ege and Regis, it was enacted with smoothness and finish. Janet Ahern was our Sophomore contribution to the cast, while Margaret Madden, Louise Forrest, Margaret Cahill and Doris Belliveau upheld Sophomore honours in the solo work. W’ith the as- sistance of two musicians from the Sym- phony Orchestra, Gladys Kiely provided the delightful accompaniment. The re- mainder of the French Class lent their voices to the chorus; the latter enjoyed the usual commotion which occurs back- stage, such as standing in line to be made- up, and the general excitement, without the fear of stage-fright experienced by the stars of the play. The curtain fell on [ 130 ] “Esther,” and the cast returned to private life — if privacy may be considered one of the blessings of college life! During our study of Chaucer, we were greatly enlightened on many points and upon one in particular. Kay Holleran proved, and quite conclusively too, much to our amazement, that patience, to the modern miss, is no longer a virtue! Most of us, after reading the Clerk’s Tale were astounded at the superb display of woman- ly constancy in the “patient Gnseldis,” and while we were slightly disconcerted at the general all-round “weeping, wail- ing and gnashing of teeth,” we admitted that a more profound and sincere sedulity was never more vividly portrayed than by this woman. However, there was one dis- cordant note. Kay took up the role of Devil’s Advocate and staunchly avowed that a more insipid, listless, lackadaisical creature she had never encountered. She hrmly asserted that despite the two-years’ absence of Griseldis’ husband, she was displaying the height of affect.ition when she allowed “salte teares” to be shed. This was indeed an amazing insight into that frigid organism, a Sophomore’s heart; and It seems only fair to warn Kay ' s pro- spective lesser half that he need expect no sympathetic or sentimental adieu from her should he become affiliated with the Knights of the Road! In December the Senior Class intro- duced the novel idea of Fathers’ Night. Upon this occasion our fathers com- menced a social calendar of their own, which, although it did not equal mothers’ was fittingly baptized “A Get-together at Regis.” An excellent talk was rendered by Father Daly, and entertainment was suc- cessfully furnished by the students. Once more the Sophomores answered the “call” and presented Margaret Madden for the enjoyment of all. Through our worthy representative the versatility of our Class was once again exemplihed much to the delight of the audience and our own self- satisfaction. There were many other incidents of varying importance that occurred during the year which combined to give our class a just claim to distinction and originality. There was a period of years when Pat Cain Right from Heaven was blissfully under the impression that she had at one time been a member of the high court of heaven. It took Henry Gughan ' s poem to bring the matter to our attention and we were reluctantly forced to inform Pat that as far as we knew she had never been in heaven and if she per- sisted in such heretical beliefs she would probably never get there. It seems that those “foreign” languages trip even the best of us, occasionally. Re- cently our esteemed president succumbed to the pitfalls of German, but we can make allowances because the word was “Zusam- menlehen.” In separating the word we discovered that “Zusammen” means to- gether,” and “lehen” — “to live.” Mar- jorie paused. As a helpful hint Sister ventured that it was often used in divorce courts. Marjorie’s face brightened as she said happily, Incompatibility!” Sister was not entirely satisfied with the transla- tion. The Italian Classes were held in Room I R [ 131 ] sn - ft H Time marches on 213 bur anyone who couldn’t reserve a seat in the class room might choose any spot on the first-floor corridor and receive the entire instruction. For fear that the electric life-saver, in the form of a bell sig- nifying the end of class, should fail in its duty, one resourceful student brought her Big Ben and caused quite a commotion when the alarm went off before schedule. The culprit’s identity has been safeguarded but some of us still think that Sheila Sul- livan’s luggage assumed added propor- tions upon dismissal from class. The Gym Meet was performed with a vehemence that made precision unneces- sary, much to the amusement of the audi- ence and our own amazement. The fact that there is a distinction between Swedish and Danish exercises dawned upon us with Keeping in trim devastating certainty the day immediately preceding our exhibition, and had not our accompanist played fortissimo, the puffing and loud creaking of hones would have testified clearly to our gymnastic inepti- tude. The May Procession was enacted with the customary decorum and pomp. The Queen, Anne McGillicuddy, madeabeauti- ful and fitting leader of the entire faculty and student bodies. The weather was clear and warm and the splendor of the sun was outshone only by the brilliance of our medals! I In Our Lady’s honor Commencement W eek arrived all too soon and meant much more to us than that of the year previous. The full significance of graduation was more strongly borne in upon us as with loving bonds of tender care our Alma Mater drew us closer. One more year of sincere endeavor has been completed — a year filled with poig- nantly pleasant memories which have served to enrich our lives and to endear our College to the hearts of all. May the mem- bers of the Class of ' 40 keep ever in mind the high standard of achievement which Regis has set as the goal for all her daugh- ters !

Way, Truth, and Life so cherished. Homage to you we ll sing. Loyal days and memories passing. From the College of the red and gold. So let us give a cheer. For Regis College dear. As we our hearts unfold. Youth of ’41 salutes you. Friendships true we’ll ne’er forget. Roads untried now stretch before us. Ready to claim our best. W’e must face life’s problems bravely, And forsake your portals true. But Regis we’ll look hack And ne’er regret our past. And express our love for you . Gertrude Burke 139 ♦ K E G 1 8 Freshman Group Like a beautiful symphony, the Class of 1941, Sister Class of the Juniors, at first emitted only soft, muted notes of sterling quality. Then with increasing crescendo, a zest- ful spirit wove itself into that masterpiece of compo- sition, college life. The hitherto hidden qualities courage. Class of 1941 enthusiasm, perseverance, loyalty in all undertakings whether of a scholastic, social or moral nature were dis- cernible. With these attributes the dying notes will be echoed in Regis Hall for years to come, forever com- memorating the harmonious spirit of the class. A Drum! A Drum! The Freshmen Come! Some one hundred and ten Freshmen, led by G. Burke, who wrote our mar- tial song, entered into a new field of battle. On a glorious day, with the sun shining upon the peaceful settings of Regis, we valiant warriors, unarmed and unaware of the dangers which were to thwart us on every side, surged forward lustily singing our battle hymn to the tune of “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.” The words of Macbeth, “Come, put mine armor on, give me my staff” proceeded swimmingly through the minds of all. Immediatelv upon entering our new fortress, all recruits were obliged to fill out blanks which ascertained the extent of their capabilities. Later there were preliminary skirmishes in finding our rooms and permanent roommates. Weak- ened and sorely tired, we gladly accepted respite which was provided by Constitu- tion Day. New recruits Upon our return, we were initiated into the type of war strategem which was to follow. The week of September twentieth commemorates the first big power drive by the upperclassmen. Our defeat was swift and humiliating. Imagine submitting us to the ignominy of measuring inch by inch ♦ 1 o tt It the fourth-floor corridor. Our overthrow was due to the surpassing weapons of the opposing side, we consolingly argued. In order to inaugurate new modes of attack to repel a similar display of prow- ess, Mary Shea assembled us and presented various suggestions. The faces of the listen- ers reflected their interest and assent! Soon, we were placed upon an ec ual footing with our foes when late permis- Humiliating tactics sions were granted, for then, the same privileges were bestowed upon us as upon our aggressive Sophomore sisters. This instilled us with rose-hued hopes for in- evitable victory. These illusions were soon dashed and shattered by the ignominies of the Baby Party. It is true that our class suffered de- feat, but we did not make our exit in utter disgrace, for our chief trumpeter, Marie Conlon, captivated the hearts of all, even our most bitter enemies. Mounting success upon success, Patricia Riley, our ace photographer, returned from a forage within the enemy’s lines with val- uable information greatly enhanced by printed proof of her discoveries regarding the strength and weaknesses of the rear flanks. [ 142 ] Advance information Alarmed hy our increasing confidence, our veteran aggressors, who were the seniors, sought to achieve a moral victory. This was accomplished by new uniforms, consisting of long flowing robes, with starched white collars, and a four-cornered hat, doffed with a tassel. But October first, instead of casting us into the depths of despair, only instilled in our breasts new hopes and ambitions that some day, we should emerge triumphant and carry off among the spoils, the coveted treasure of a Cap and Gown. Consequently we determined to elect officers to lead us through the fray to ulti- mate victory. Priscilla Neville was chosen as General with Margaret Joyce as her aide-de-camp. Patricia Burke was deemed A stirring caff worthy and capable to safeguard the sup- ply money and Mary Devaney wrote the battle reports. Perceiving this failure, the upperclass- men barraged our lines with good wishes. Stunned by the sudden change in their mode of attack, we looked upon the truce with some degree of suspicion. We firmly believed that the Senior Tea and the Junior entertainment were mere sorties within our lines to perceive the strength of our forces. We later understood that they were really presented in the spirit of good-will. Then unforeseen and unexpected moral aid came to us in the form of a series of Thursday afternoon lectures to which we Ace photographer had fairly regular recourse. Intermittently, such eminent men and women as Maurice Leahy, Jane Anderson, Dr. Pan, Father Riley and others came to instruct us in maneuvers. In testing these suggestions for adroit management, Marie Brown en- countered disaster to the extent that she was forced to withdraw from active par- ticipation in battle for many weeks. On the other hand this provided much amuse- ment for her fellow-soldiers, because they took great joy in covering her plaster cast with scores of incongruous pictures. Even a thorough knowledge of these lectures, however, could not save us from K E U I [ 143 ] our enemies, whose battle array was strengthened by new auxiliaries, the pro- fessors. Their attacks were staccato-like and continuous throughout the entire year. As a result of their forages, the first black clouds loomed on our hitherto fair horizons. Analogous to Macbeth, we were warned that, we “shall never van- quish ' d be, until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come” against us. Quaking with fear, we saw those very woods surreptitiously rolling to- wards us in the form of Warning Cards. Later, however, we, battered and bruised, recovered from this seemingly hopeless situation. Some not only waded this am- bush, but also heroically surmounted all difficulties. Among this group Geraldine Murphy proyed herself the ablest leader of the chief staff and because of her capabili- ties headed the representatiye group. By memorable December the eighth, we w ' ere completely recoyered from our last defeat, and on this day, we acquired an addition to our rather slim supply of weapons. The entire army, amidst peace- ful, awe-inspiring surroundings and ce- lestial music, receiyed long slim swords whose crossarms were stamped with the insignia of our Blessed Lady. After we had inserted these emblems of yower into their sheaths. Father Rooney exhorted Spiritually armed ♦ 1 9 9 Hiology Plates — Our Waterloo US on to greater deeds. Then we were acknowledged members of that Great Army, the Sodality of Mary. After this presentation, our adyersaries were particularly quiet and unaggressiye. The atmosphere became tense and electri- cally charged. What were they waiting for? Then in quick succession, on December nineteenth and twenty-first, respectiyely, the hostile forces of the Seniors and Jun- iors held war councils in the form of plays which oyerawed us by their exploitation of hidden power. Nothing resulted from these conferences, and we enjoyed a tempo- rary truce which we termed a Christmas respite. Returning to the fray, we were immedi- ately assaulted with demands for biology plates. We were compelled to produce the finished product to the auxiliary forces or suffer the consequences. We stumbled and tottered on the brink of perdition, but with an almost superhuman surge, we surmounted the difficulty. Our arms and eyes, howeyer, ached for many a day after- wards. Following this near defeat, we were ambushed once more by those swift swooping attacks made by the opposing forces’ auxiliary troops. Once more we banded together and at length were en- abled to laugh superciliously, for much to [ 144 ] Junior Peace Ball their surprise, we passed through their network of stumbling blocks, which were camouflaged as mid-year examina- tions. Weeks of unimportant raids occurred. Then a peaceful meeting was proposed. All agreed to assemble at a quiet grove to participate in a series of conferences which would he conducted by an unbiased leader. This aide-de-camp showed to each side its outstanding faults and the means by which to correct them. It was most benehcial to us, however, for we were given the op- portunity of being clothed in a spiritual armor which could withstand not onlv the attacks of this war, bur of all battles. Emerging from our session spiritual Iv armored and clear-visioned, both forces consented to an arbitrarv decision. Following this judgment practically all of our band assented to a Peace Council and appeared, bedecked in fine clothes. Amid haunting melodies, we were swirl- ingly transported to a land of happiness. All enmity was forgotten, and we lived only for that night. All participants agreed that the Junior Peace Ball did much to promote a kindred spirit between the two forces. No longer able to restrain our exuberant spirits which were excited by the Ball, we held an exhibit in which we were attired in fantastic costumes. Weattempted to instill into our performance the wild |oy of a victory dance. Later, although it is true that there was no definite, decisive victory, we did adopt a new philosophy of life wherein we asked ourselves, V hy should we play the Roman fool and die on our own swords?” Then, too, a secret agreement had been reached whereby both armies were to band together against an approaching horde of fighters, who were the entering Freshmen. With these two encitements to spur us on, each of us swore: I will not yield ; To kiss the ground before Regis ' feet. Though Birnam wood be come to Regis Yet I will try the best, Before my bodv I throw my war-like shield.

ORGANIZATIONS Student Government t 1937-38 marked a distinctive year for the Student Cooperative Government. Kath- leen Cournoyer as President of the Council received the highest honors at Regis, and proved most efficient and capable. The Senior Councillors aiding Miss Cournoyer were Marv Lyons, Eileen Donohue, and M. W inifred Gill. These girls competently performed their duties of maintaining order and enforcing college regulations. The Junior Class had its representation in Ruth Ford, Beth Carroll, and Marion Maloon. This year an extension on late permis- sions was obtained, and the girls were al- lowed to have radios in their rooms. The students responded to these privileges most gratefully, and by their compliance with the new rules, they showed them- selves worthy of even more favors. The members of the Council are really deserving of much praise, for their duties were for the most part thankless ones, and the average student was unaware of the inconveniences they had to endure. How- ever, the student body cooperated generous- Signing out ly, thereby making it much easier for the Council to act as a distinctive intermediary between the girls and the Faculty. The primary aim of the Council was to instill in the students a greater sense of pride and loyalty in their college. This K. Cournoyer conducting Student Government meeting. n aim was accomplished by dint of the ener- getic courage and loyal fairness of the members of Student Government, coupled with the eager help of the girls themselves. ith these two factions working together, the high standards and interests of Regis were upheld. Sodality The sodality year opened most appro- priately on the beautiful feast of the Im- maculate Conception of its holy patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary. One hundred and eleven Freshmen, robed in white, symbol- izing purity and devotion as Children of Mary, recited the Act of Consecration and were solemnly received as members of the Sodality by the Reverend George F. Wise- man, college chaplain and director of the sodality. The Reverend Richard Rooney, S.J., of Boston College, delivered the ser- mon in which he exhorted the new social- ists to reflect in their own lives the virtues of the Blessed Virgin. Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was celebrated bv Father Rooney, assisted by the Reverend Joseph O’Callahan, S.J., of U ' eston Col- lege, as deacon, and the Reverend Paul Facey, S.J., of Floly Cross, sub-deacon. Throughout the year the Sodality meet- ings were held each Wednesday, consisting of the recitation of the Rosary by the pre- fect, a short instruction by Father W ' ise- man, followed by Benediction of the Bless- ed Sacrament. The same program was followed by both the resident and day students’ sodalities. The officers of the resident students’ sodality were: Miss Helena F. Rogers, Lowell, Miss Rita M. Sherman, West Medway, Miss Rosemary C. Burke, New Rochelle, N. Y.; Miss Barbara M. Sullivan, Newport, R. I.; Miss Catherine R. O’Brien, Milton; and Miss Margaret M. Sheehan, Newton. The officers of the day students’ sodality were: Miss Eileen M. Carman, W’ellesley Hills; Miss Margaret J. Thornton, W ' est Concord; Miss Elmore A. Corbett, Brook- line; Miss Cecilia A. O’Farrell, Brighton; Miss Genevieve S. Gill, West Newton; and Miss M. Constance Macdonald, Som- erville. Father Wiseman meets resident sodality group Father George S. Wiseman 1937-38 Sodality Director A feature of the year was the Mission Fund which amounted to a considerable sum thanks to the generous contributions of the members. This money was sent to the seminarian “adopted” by last year’s sodality in order to assist him in his mis- sionary career. During the holy season of Lent various guest speakers addressed the student body at the regular Wednesday meetings. Father Joseph j. Sullivan, S.J., dean of Chemistry at Floly Cross, was the first speaker on Ash Wednesday. His convincing sermon, based on the scriptural text, “Remember man that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return,” stimulated all to generous sacrifice during the holy season. Reverend Paul Facey, S.J., spoke on March 9. Urging the girls to be model women, he denounced the characteristic pose, the assumed veneer, so common in this modern day. On the opening day of the triduum toSt. Joseph, March 16, Reverend John Keating, S.J., of Boston College, addressed the stu- dents on the subject of St. Joseph. Father Keating appropriately instructed the mem- bers of the sodality on their obligation to accomplish their duty as did St. Joseph during his life. On March 23 the Reverend Gerald M. Fitzgerald, C.S.C., spoke on the love of God, urging the girls to realize this as the guiding motive of all their actions. The final sermon in the Lenten series was also delivered by the Reverend Joseph Friends of Regis view May Procession Day student sodality leaders J. Sullivan, S.J. This time he spoke feel- ingly of the passion and death of our Lord, exhorting all to the proper observance of Holy Week. The annual May procession held on Sunday afternoon.

Seniors who had leading roles were Mary Burke who played the part of Esther in an eminently splendid manner and Rosemary Doherty, confidante of Esther who likewise did especially well. The choeiir, conducted by Gladys Kiely and Margaret Madden and composed of members of the Junior and Sophomore classes, was an indispens- able and notable feature of the drama. Guest speaker for the scholastic year was Mile. Germaine Arosa, renowned artist and musician whose program of ♦ 1 o a French songs in costume and French recits was delightfully entertaining. Madame Mercier was accompanist. Charm, refine- ment and culture, together with clear dic- tion and excellent rendition merited gen- eral applause.

The publication, edited by Helena Rogers, ’38, printed con- tributions of interest written by Spanish students. Der Deutsche Verein Der Deutsche ' erein distinguished itself this year with an unusuallv interesting and successful program.

The cast consisted of Eleanor Flynn as Frau von Stern; Mary Joyce as Charlotte; Mary Wessling as Herr von Roden; and Geraldine Murphy as Herr Alfeld. In April, the club forgot classic ambi- tions and all thoroughly enjoyed them- selves in a real German Gesangfest. The old typical folk-songs that everybody loves were done in the traditional, infor- mal manner. The club has done a great deal towards furthering a desire to speak Ger- man and to acquire a sympathetic under- standing of German civilization. The members hope to pass on the torch to their successors next year. Sigma Tau Phi The members of Sigma Tau Phi under the leadership of its president, Constance Macdonald, completed a well-rounded season of social and literary activities. Preparing the puppets A hallowe’en party was held in the Log Cabin which was decorated in the seasonal colors of orange and black with candles and jack-o’-lanterns lending the appropri- ate mood of mystery and witchery. ♦ I u tl [ 158 ] At the formal meeting in December, Margaret Burke read a paper on “Women in Greece.” Dons Paradis chose as her Tyranny is dead subject “Pagan Survivals in Christian Lit- urgy.” Constance Macdonald read Lea- cock’s Oroastus from “Over the Foot- lights.” In January, a joint meeting wdth the Classical Association of Greater Boston was held at Harvard University.

Riley, Ph D., professor of History at Regis, who addressed the members on the “Philosophy of History.” Father Riley opened up new fields of thought to many when he in- sisted that “History is the handmaid of theology,” and that while philosophy and religion courses are believed to be essential to a Catholic school, history should be just as essential. Another inspiring lecture was delivered by the Reverend Joseph A. Beatty of St. ’incent’s Parish, South Boston. In his lecture of December 1, Father Beatty dis- cussed “Pope Pius XI and Catholic Ac- tion.” True to the principles of the great Pope of Catholic Action, Father Beatty showed that not only was it the duty of the prelates, but also the duty of the people, to further this work.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated by the Reverend W ' illiam McGarry S.J., was followed by conferences and dinner in Regis Hall, and the meeting closed with Benediction. One of the most outstanding events on the Alumnae calendar this year was the organization of the Study Club under the direction of Reverend John J. Murphv S.J. and the chairmanship of Christine Hertgen W’essling, ’34. The Club, formed for the purpose of discussing Communism, has held many instructive and enjoyable meet- ings in the library of Mount St. Joseph Academy.

The climax of the year was the traditional Regis Night at the Pops, sponsored by the Guild members and aided by the Alumnae Association. The Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fielder presented a most delightful program. The Regis Herald Adopting a new policy this year the staff of the Regis Herald consisted of Junior journalism students. The Herald “aimed to please” not only the student body but outside friends interested in Regis affairs. First-hand news of college events, club activities. Alumnae and Guild affairs were duly reported in the bi-weekly issues. Parents and friends of Regisites were thus enabled to supplement the paucity of “letters home” with first-hand informa- tion as to “who’s who” and “what’s what” at Regis. Features of the year were the Dean’s lists, eagerly awaited by the chosen few, dreaded by the many less fortunates who were grateful that the white light of pub- licity did not shine on the other Dean’s list! Timely editorials on world events as well as on current campus topics were of interest. The “Scoops” column registering the social thermometer of Regisites re- tained first place in popularity among the students. Catering to the ego of the socialites, the Roving Reporter had her hands full in recording the social life of our numerous butterflies. Litterateurs from all classes contributed many noteworthy pieces to the literary page. Outstanding was the poetry column which contained the poetic efforts of many students. Worthy of mention were several short poems by Eileen Carman, class poet of 1938 and HarrietteCarson,’39. Numerous minute reviews of current books, movies and plays kept all informed as to the most prohtable ways to spend leisure time. “All the news that ' s tit to print [ 171 ] K E G I Senior Class History Kedy to wenden on our pilgryniu e . . ivitbful devout corap e ' ' L ike the Canterbury pilgrims of old, we, the pilgrims of ’38, began our journey with ' ' fill devout corage.” The goal seemed far away, at times almost un- attainable, but when the road was indis- tinct or the weather stormy, there were always signposts to guide and havens to shelter us. Today, ’neath the protecting aegis of our Alma Mater, with our jour- ney’s end distinctly in view, we pause in retrospective meditation over the mem- orable events of the last four years. The bonds of unity and amity, always firm, seemed never more so than now, at the moment of separation. Half regretfully we have gathered to review major items carved in the milestones along our glor- ious adventure. We realized, as we entered upon the journey four years ago, that there would he no royal road to the shrine we wished to reach; that all of the journey would be made on foot and much of it over cobble- stones. W e have now arrived at our des- tination, strengthened by our experience. and a bit wistfully harking back to that first exciting day when we banded to- gether and prepared for the trip. On our first registration day we exper- ienced the same emotions of joy and anx- iety, hope and fear, that Freshmen have always and will always feel when they step forth to sign their last names first on the College Register. We were not al- lowed to be lonely or afraid for long, how- ever. The protection and loving care of our guardian angels, the Juniors, were gratefully received. With courtesy and gentleness these grown-up young ladies pointed out to us the rough places and the pitfalls of the first mile of our journey! But not alone by the Juniors were we nurtured; we were the darlings of the en- tire college. W ' ithout doubt, in common with every class before us and every one to come, we were the nicest Freshman Class ever to enter Regis! The period of adjustment was a profit- able one for all, except perhaps for those whose business it was to do the adjusting. W’ith patience and care our professors pro- ceeded to transform this motley group of alumnae from various New England High Schools, into a class of loyal Regisites, all imbued with the same ideals, and eager to adopt the utterh “different” standards of Regis. To the alumnae of Newton High was this transform ation the hardest to endure, but like the rest, they eventually came into the fold. Typically verdant Freshmen, we were shyly appreciative of the parties tendered us by the dignified upper-classmen; timid at our formal reception by the faculty, and grudgingly respectful to the belligerent Sophomores. Typically verdant Freshmen likewise, it was not long before much of our “naivete” was transformed into mis- chief. At least it now seems incredible that everyone of us should have been suffering from influenza on that memorable day when we sneezed through our recitations on Bismarck and Cavour, and only by our introduction into the very abstract study of logic could we solve the problem of the missing college frocks. It suddenly dawned upon our enlightened intellects that if A’s frock was unbecomingly long, and B’s frock was correspondingly brief, that perhaps C had had a hand in the change. Our formal reception into the Sodality of the Blessed drgin will ever be remem- bered as the highlight of the first months of our college life. Dedicated to Marv in a very special way, we had now an added incentive to succeed in our chosen work, that we might be worthy in some small way of the beautiful new title conferred upon us, “Children of Marv.” The year passed rapidly. The first rude shock came when we were presented with those formidable looking blue books, and jrfwj Junior Sisters, sans kindly Professors, we were obliged to undergo alone the try- ing ordeal of college mid-years. This test of our endurance over, we began the second semester with renewed vigor. W ' e were awed by our first solemn retreat, thrilled by the radiant faces of our Junior Sisters during their “week of weeks,” and touched deeply by the poignant ceremonies of Commencement week, when the gravely reverent Seniors whom we had admired all year at a respectful distance took their sad farewell from Regis. Our parting that year was not sad. We had matured, albeit but slightly in the minds of some, during the first year of our college life. We would return in September no longer the babies of the college, but grown women with a small, but certain, measure of prestige. Alas! Sophomore year fell a bit below our expectations. No longer were we smiled upon and forgiven our blunders. No longer, did, “I couldn’t find the room,” excuse us for tardiness at class. Nor were the coveted privileges of the upperclass- men ours to enjoy. Like proverbial middle children we envied the attention paid to the younger ones and wore the cast-off clothes of the older. Moreover, those of us who had passed out quietly from the Fresh- ♦ u [ 175 ] man gym classes, worn out by the exertion of turning off the heat and running up the shade, found an extra course added to our anticipated schedule. Ours was a sad fate. e vented our wrath on the terrified Freshmen but failed to derive any pleasure from their suffering. W’e became philo- sophically resigned to our lot, however, after a few of the eloquent (and, a bit co- quettish) recitations in our excellent Philosophy class. Founders ' Day held a deeper significance for us this year, for we saw our Big Sisters invested in their academic garb and we realized on that impressive day that they would soon be lost to us. We likewise took an added interest in the activities of Junior W eek, our own turn was so soon to come. But the hopeful prediction of the Sopho- more quarter which entertained a certain history class on the eve of the Junior Prom with the ditty, “We won’t get home until morning,” proved to be a hopelessly false one. The year with its customary joys and sorrows, pleasures and trials, passed quick- ly, and sooner than we wished, our black- garbed Sisters passed through the gateway of our Daisy Chain down the road of life. Our return after Sophomore year was saddened by the knowledge that although during the previous two years we had lost many pilgrims at various crossroads, some ♦ 1 9 3 U lured to other shrines, others enticed by the call of the work-a-day world, this summer we had lost one comrade forever. But our sadness was lightened by joy at the thought that one of our number was close to the throne of Him for horn we were all working and that surely her prayers would brighten our path. At long last we were upper class, objects of admiration to the under class- men and even more ardently admired by ourselves. The trial-and-error period having been safely weathered, we were now in- fallible, self-sufficient and omniscient. Or were we? Our first class in psychology lessened our self-assurance. Perhaps we had better reserve these epithets for our Senior year, for there would be little room left for improvement if we were omni- perfect now. A few more classes in psy- chology and we wondered no longer about our erudition. What worried us now was whether we had not even retarded our in- telligence. The memory of the psychology classes will be long cherished, however, for one reason : our eyes were at last opened and our minds enlightened as to the real worth of man. (This information proved to be of real value in determining the suc- cess of our long-awaited Junior Week.) No reminder is needed to enable us to recall the thrilling events, or to recapture the happy sensations we experienced dur- ing our glorious Week. Especially vivid is the memory of our Promenade. Thanks to the efforts of our Chairman and her assistants, the foyer was transformed into an enchanted garden. We scarcely recog- nized each other, we too were so trans- formed by the excitement of the hour. Our Prom established a precedent in one regard; no customary curfew was heard to inject its sour note into the orchestra ' s “sweet swing.” The musicians merely packed up and left, and we, tactful, gra- [ 176 ] cious hostesses that we were, let it he known to our escorts that this meant the dance was over. In reality the dance was just beginning for us, as we discussed it into the wee small hours. By those who knew better than we, we were warned against such a procedure, being reminded of the Tea Dance which was to take place next day. But with the added energy which always seems to come in times of dire need, we managed admirably and junior Week came to a triumphant close. After such a climax it seemed that any activity would he an anticlimax. No sooner had we become once more resigned to classes than Commencement Week was upon us. We witnessed the solemn cere- monies for the third and last time as part of the audience. Next time we would he the actors. The shadow of the black robe was already upon us. . . Our transition from blase Juniors into sophisticated Seniors was not the least exciting of our experiences. The period between the reopening of classes in Sep- tember to Founders’ Day, October second, marked for many of us the most hectic interlude of our scholastic career. The im- minent danger of being denied the coveted academic garb because of “un-made-up make-ups’’ kept many a would-be Senior awake at night. But all were serene when the blessed day arrived, and the only sad- ness we felt was the inevitable twinge of regret that we were now beginning the last lap of our delightful journey. We became the “guardians of the col- lege’’ at a time when the college was more than ever in need of a few guardians. The unbelievable privilege of radios had been granted at last, and the hour of returning after supper permissions so extended that never again would a Regis girl be obliged to break up a “supper-date’’ in the middle of the first course. But with the advent of these privileges the new Seni ors had an added responsibility, that of keeping in check the rather effervescent enthusiasm of the underclassmen. We realized before long, however, the truth of the old prov- erb that “the cowl does not make the friar.’’ Resplendent in our caps and gowns, we were the picture of dignity to the casual observer, but to our own amaze- ment felt very much the same within, as ♦ K E ii I S [ 177 ] before being invested. Therefore, wlien a certain group of Seniors extended their Monday morning privilege to include three meals Monday and breakfast Tues- day morning, we thought their excuse a most probable one and generously forgave them their trespasses. W ' e had learned from experience that we couldn’t change overnight. Our Ethics classes soon had their desired effect on our general deportment, and ever mindful lest the horrible fate of turning into mechanical robots be ours, we settled down to live as Seniors should. W ' ith the increase in dignity, intelli- gence, and general savoir faire which has characterized us as Seniors, there has been likewise a marked growth in spiritual activity. The amount of traffic which passes daily to the shrine in the woods will soon warrant the construction of a paved highway, and the unusually fine attendance at the non-obligatory Sodality meetings is likewise a gratifying indication of the spiritual growth of the Class of ' 38 . While still pursuing our scholastic career we have been privileged this year to receive, on the side, a special training in financial problems. Since the inception of the money-making crusade for the yearbook, we Seniors have learned, if we never knew before, that ninety-nine cents will never make a dollar. Class coopera- tion has been very gratifying however and many delightful entertainments have been run in the interest of the College Annual. The social success of the first yearbook party was unprecedented. It featured among other events a swim in the icy waters of a New Hampshire lake and closed with the rendition of an extemporaneous opera entitled ‘ ' She Lost Her Shoe. ’ ’ Other entertainments for the benefit of the Mount Regis have perhaps enjoyed great- er financial success, but the first was un- questionably the most unique. At the annual Christmas play this year, the latent histrionic talent of the Seniors was brought to light, as a group of be- wigged and bewhiskered maidens por- trayed the simple, pathetic story of the old Bellman of Mons.” After the play, the Seniors took part in a dramatic procession of a far different na- ture. Clad in Cap and Gown and bearing lighted candles we marched solemnly through the halls at the hushed hour of midnight, singing the beloved Christmas carols. Our part in these beautiful tradi- tions will endear our college to us long after time has blurred less poignant mem- ories. Returning after our Christmas holidays we tried in vain to stay the relentless march of time. Onward and onward the days sped by, until soon we were preparing for our last retreat. During these three solemn days of prayer and meditation every Senior’s heart was saddened by the realization that this would he her final op- portunity for serious rellection before leaving her Alma Mater. The Easter vacation was not, in every respect, the rest that it should have been. Curiously enough we were most of us troubled by the ringing in our ears of that peculiarly sinister phrase when you graduate if you graduate.’’ It stirred most of us to some kind of action and man- aged to disturb our otherwise peaceful existence. But vacations, even when they do not strictly deserve to he so called, have a way of slipping by very quickly, and once again the Class of ’38 returned to the ‘‘hilltop’’ to prepare for and take their final, final examinations. W’e have lived in a kind of daze since our return. The history of these past few weeks seems even less distinct than the events of our first years. Perhaps it is be- cause we are fatigued. We are near the end of our journey and our feet lag — partly from weariness, hut chiefly, no doubt, be- cause we are a bit reluctant to reach the goal for which we have so enjoyed striv- ing. Our participation in the beautiful pro- cession held annually in honor of the hr- gin, our very active part in the Commence- ment play, Pride and Prejudice and the unforgettable ceremonies of Baccalaureate Sunday, however, have been indelibly carved in our memories in spite of the mingled pleasure and sadness which are associated with them in our minds. We are gathered here on Class Day for the fourth and last time. For four years now we have taken the signihcant step on Class Day which has carried us steadily along on our college career. Today again we are taking a step, the most significant of all; it will carry us securely over the threshold of life. There is left to us to enjoy, the Senior Spread, that gayest of festivals for the un- der classmen, but an affair of mingled plea- sure and regret at best for the departing Seniors. Tomorrow the coveted diploma will be ours. Tomorrow we shall have reached the end of our long pilgrimage, ready for another one of far greater con- sequence; one for which our present jour- ney has well prepared and strengthened us. That our future history may be as pleasant and as prohtable as the history here related is the sincere prayer of the Class of ’38. In our hearts we know that we can make it so, only by living up to the ideals instilled in us by the loving solici- tude of our adopted Mother, Regis College. Mary Hogan ♦ 11 E 0 1 [H9] In Prophetic Vein If you would hear this prophecy, you must depart in spirit from this world, and enter the realms of unreality. For you see, judgment Day is here. The exciting exper- ience of Life, so delightful, and yet so full of pain, has finally ended. The world is dead, hut the inhabitants of the world have come to life again. It is a dreary day. The vast plain is alive with the gray dull forms of the resurrected. No noise of any kind IS to be heard. Those brave spirits who even try to talk do so in low whispers. All day, trials have been going on. All day, there have been endless processions of spirits being led into unknown regions by angelic guardsmen. However, the trial to which we are going promises to he enter- taining. Well, here we are. Let us sit right here and wait for the performance to begin. They are a sorry looking group, are they not, as they stand there? Poor souls, you would never guess they once possessed life. The good old days! There is St. Peter approaching with the angel Gabriel. Now there will be action! Listen to Gabriel’s trumpet. The mighty blast rouses the fifty-seven odd spirits. 1 fl n They raise tired eyes in the direction of St. Peter, and slowly bring themselves to attention. The jovial tone in which he addresses them, seems to surprise them. “U’ell, well good afternoon! I’m very glad to meet you. Gabriel, this is the Regis Class of ’ 38 ; you must have heard about them! Oh come now — wake up — that’s no way to feel — Miss Carman, can’t you smile? That’s much better. Now let’s to work. Into line, all of you, and we ll see how quickly we can get this thing done. That’s the way. Oh, Miss O’Toole, get back into line if you don’t mind. There, now I’ll see you one by one.” He sits himself down comfortably on a grassy mound, and beams on their misery. The line stands in confusion. All of a sudden, a vigorous spirit elbows her way through the crowd. Don’t be silly,” she is saying, “I’m not afraid. What is the sense in standing still? Hello, St. Peter, my name is Eileen Donohue. My life was not perfect by any means. I made a few mis- takes of course, but not too many. My chief occupation in later life was the match factory that I managed. That’s all I have to say. I never did believe in being scrupu- lous.” As Eileen retired to her place, the rest of the class, much braver in spirit now, began one by one to approach. The name is Gill, St. Peter — Winifred, commonly known as W’iff. ” I spent my later life in Fr ance. Instead of teaching English there, I went into politics. It was hard at first. I wasn’t always angelic, but in the end I was responsible for the new Nationale Franqaise. As for my sister Genevieve, I might as well report for her, too. She taught for a while at home, and then married an Anglican minister hoping to convert him.” [ 182 ] “I’m next, your Reverence, Christine O’Meara. I did very well in the movies after I played the part of Scarlett O’Hara. I retired when I had made enough money to continuemysocial work independenrlv. ’ ’ How are you, St, Peter? I’m MarySmith Burke. Please don’t be angrv with me. I really thought I was doing my best on earth. I did have a very good position you know, hut I didn’t keep it very long be- cause I married a B.C. graduate. That really is about all.” “Bernadette Grenier is my name. Sir. I know I joined the communistic party after I graduated, but really I don’t think I took it seriously. I resigned a few years later, and lived a most quiet life of re- pentance.” “How do you do, St. Peter? I’m Betty Sweeney. After I left school I became in- terested in botany. Later I started an orchid farm, with the help of a certain good friend of mine who practically man- aged it for me. I supplied the Regis girls with mv beautiful blossoms, gratis. “Margaret Thornton is the name, St. W ' e, the staff. . . Peter. The B.S.H. department has dele- gated me as speaker for the rest. Our group fared very well. We joined forces and started a clinic after graduation. You know of course the success it later became! Why we had so many famous patients! Let me see, there was Joe Louis, Mrs. Roosevelt, Robert Taylor, Elsa Maxwell, and oh, so many others! Mary Sullivan was the Superintendent. She took com- plete charge of the nurses. Ginny Caldbeck was most successful with the X-ray ma- chine. She didn’t stay very long with us though, because she married a wealthy widower who came there to recuperate after his second wife’s decease. Rita Genna planned the meals. She also took charge of the patients’ amusement. She even had some of them roller skating! W’e believed in that aspect of hospital life very seriously. Anne McGillicudy and Claire Morgan ran the ’sunatorium.’ W hy, do you know that we were the only people in the United States who could give a sun-bath that wouldn’t freckle? Anne Golden and Frances Reardon were our psychologists. Their work was discouraging. You know how difficult that type of person is to get along with! Aurelia Kelley of course was our business manager, and what she couldn’t do with a budget wasn’t worth talking about. Betty Sutton acted as out- hostess. She was lucky. All she had to do was to dress up and look pretty all day. Of K E U I S [ 183 ] course I wouldn’t get an assignment like that! No, 1 was made chief undertaker, instead. The class on the whole supported us very well. Mary O’Connor was the first to come. She had a severe heart condition shortly after she left school, and was quite seriously afllicted for the time being. Poor Mary Malloy was brought in one time in an awful condition. Mary always was a high flyer you know, hut one day her plane met with a slight casualty. And I certainly can’t forget Lillian Burns. Lillian’s famous twins were born at our hospital. I might add, too, for their mother’s special benefit, that they were the noisiest bits with whom we ever came in contact. Well I guess I’ve talked long enough. It’s probably the last I ' ll ever do anyway.” As Thorny slowly made her way back to her place, St. Peter called for a short recess. He spent it scratching with his quill on a small notebook that he carried. Those yet to speak their piece stood nervously by, gnawing at the region of their fingertips. The next to approach was Kay Cour- noyer. St. Peter, my post-Regis life was necessarily innocent. I spent it in the wilds of Tibet, with my husband who was an engineer. After a life among those Mon- golians, this place seems like Utopia !’ ’ Rest for the weary St. Peter smiled at this and said, We’ll overlook the reflection as to our present situation. Miss Cournoyer, and now for Miss Lordan. Ah, Helen my dear, you needn’t tell me about your life. Only too well do I know of the great service you did to your B.S.S. confreres. Y ou, in yourgener- osiiy opened a home for accountants who had worn themselves out with ledger- leaning. Poor Rita Murphy and Louise Friarv gratefully retired there, prematurely old! You certainly deserve a high place in Heaven.” Catherine O’Brien now stepped up. “St. Peter, you can’t deny that Mary Broderick and I did much to lower the divorce rate. Statistics show that our doctrine, taught in our school-for-youth, had a wide influ- ence. We held that friendship with the opposite sex should be like a college educa- tion; that is, general knowledge should always precede specialization.” ’Tm Myra Fitzgerald, St. Peter. Surely you must remember me. We met rather pre- maturely. Mary Shaw and myself were one day experimenting with a new gas that we believed we had discovered, when suddenly we were blown out into space, right almost to this very spot. Oh dear, the disappointment of it all! Our teachers are still searching for us.” Eileen Carman now swaggered to the front. “St. Peter, I became a successful bus- iness woman. Not only that, but also I helped my friends to be successful. I ex- perimented quite a bit, with the theory of remote control, and finally perfected it. hy, my discoveries lengthened many lives! Think of the worry it spared people. Take a woman like Margaret Donovan for example. She married a traveling salesman, and yet, with the aid of my device, she managed to control him very well. Helena Rogers was a steady customer while Ray was away in Pans for a year. He wasn’t He must be tall and dark and . . . even allowed to forget his rubbers! Think of the help it was to the mothers of flighty children! I’m sure I don’t know how else Mary Hogan could have survived while her three wild sons were away at college. These hoys of course inherited their nature from their father, and not, I assure you, from Mary. And do you know that my theory on remote control saved Constance Macdonald from making a most disas- trous marriage? My device detected the fact that the fellow belonged to a family that was addicted to loquacity ! Yes, I made quite a fortune on it. However, I didn’t keep it all to myself. I sold shares of it to Mary O’Toole and Eleanor Perini. They established their headquarters at Regis, and fared very well I guess. You see it was invaluable for blind dates, letter, and tele- phone connections, and yes, sometimes even assignment control! Just let me know, St. Peter, if ever you need it, I’d be glad to let YOU take it.” “If you’re finished, Eileen, I too have something to say,” broke in Peggy Shee- han. ”St. Peter, I spent a very busy life. I joined forces with Dorothy Day and spent my time crusading for the cause, with a radical gleam in my eye, and fire in my voice. I’m quite tired now, and so glad of a chance to rest.” “I’m Florence Dolan, St. Peter. I spent the most active part of my life as head of the ' Regis League for Bigger and Better Protests.’ With Betty Walsh, I accomp- lished quite a bit. W ' e protested against everything, sensible or nor. At Regis it- self, as a result of our campaigns, sliding poles were installed in each room, thereby eliminating the stair problem, musical chimes took the place of hells; and indi- vidual mail service was established.” Helen Donovan is my name, St. Peter, I’m representing the author members of our class. I thoroughly studied the ' in- law ' problem in our country, and wrote many articles on that subject. However, even I couldn’t live with my own sister- in-law! Anna Caputo went the literary way also. Her hrst hook, and her most successful was Why One Majors French. For this work she was decorated with the elusive ’Croix-de-Guerre,’ and awarded life membership in the Elks. Lastly there was Gerry Mclnerney. Gerry wrote ex- clusively on a subject that interested her very much, and that was the culinary art. Her books were international handbooks for young brides everywhere. Rosemary Doherty in her leisure moments, translated them into hve different languages.” I represent the political talent of our class St. Peter. Midge McDermott is the name. I studied law after I graduated, and in a few years I became a senator. My poli- tical machine was quite powerful. I really had a nice little set-up. Mary Melanson and Mary W hire left their seats on the stock exchange, to help me in Washington. Of course, it was through us, that Lois McCarthy became the hrst woman Presi- dent. Yes we did ride high for a few years, and we certainly made America, Regis- conscious. Mary Gahan joined us as pub- I K E U I S [ 185 ] The “Politicians” on election night licity manager and Julia Leddy took care of our bodyguard. At times that situation was very serious, I can tell you. But I guess my reminiscences are holding up the pro- cession, and you must be getting weary, so I’ll give the floor to Mary Lyons.” ”St. Peter, my part in our graduation play really started me on my road to suc- cess. The theatre of course became my life. You must have seen me in some of my roles, but we won’t go into that now, will we? I really think I was as famous in my own way as Priscilla Nolan. She may have ♦ 1 a married an Earl, and flitted about Europe like the butterfly that she was, but then I, too, was received at the English court.” “We’re getting near the end, do you mind if I speak for the few remaining ones? We’ve waited so long, St. Peter! I’m Rita Sherman. 1 went into business on Fifth avenue in New York. My store was so beautiful! I wonder where it is now? Pauline O’Brien was really my financial genius. Between us we catered to the fash- ion world for many years, that is until Mary Murphy invented ’Cello-fabric.’ That ruined our business eventually. With it, came mass production of clothes in general. Mary McNally helped her hus- band run his real estate business. Her son was the architect who planned the beau- tiful auditorium at Regis. And last of all, there is the sad story of Gertrude Magner. About ten years after graduation, she went for a spin in her gyroplane one day. But, like Amelia Erhard neither Gertrude nor the gyroscope have ever been seen again. We’re going to search for her, when you’ve dismissed us, St. Peter.” Now St. Peter cleared his throat, and rose with difficulty from t he ground. ’’Well, my dears, this has been a real sur- prise. Yes indeed, the Rebel Class of ’38, has turned out gloriously. Of course I always did believe that it is better to sow a few wild oats in one’s youth, than none at all. Now I remember when I was a boy — but I haven’t time to go into that. Come, Gabriel, wake up, we must be going; aren’t we examining the New Dealers next? That ought to be interesting, very interesting. I read a lot about them back in 1937- Now don’t worry! Iff have anything to say about your fates, you will all crash the Golden Gates!” Marion Mulhern [ 186 ] Commencement Ode Dawn in full splendor, fills the earth so drear With hope anew — and night’s abysmal fear Is shadowed in the radiance of the morn, As high above the Morning Star is horn; The lark —glad sacristan of Heaven’s gate Rejoices with a song, the world to wake. Then softly, slowlv tolls the matin bell. To herald morn with each re-echoing knell. From out the stillness of the morn these heavenly sounds, Cause tears to flow which wet these hallowed grounds; And from those tears new buds will come to stay. Though we are of the past, we will not fade away. But ever send our spirits here to dwell Within the echo of the chapel hell. All we have loved and made into a thought Are memories sweet — from morn to even wrought. Our waning day draws near, yet not asleep W ' e stand with silent thoughts that are too deep, And breathless gaze throughout the shadowy land Mute adoration for the Master’s hand That filled the world with wonders to behold From morning’s blue to sunset’s crimson gold. And in this realm of nature — earth and air. We lift our hearts to Him in evening prayer. Night falls — the hour which melts the aching heart; W’e find ourselves from dear friends torn apart We smile through tears — and pledge Eternal love Sustained by us below inflamed bv Him above. The vesper bell recalls the happy hours We’ve spent beneath thy dear protecting towers In loving friendship — then with gaze afar, W’e look aloft and face the Evening Star. Eileen Marie Carman May, 1938 K E U I [ 187 ] The Way of Peace A bout this time of year the proximity of Commencement begins to get edi- torial notice. There is frequent mention of the graduate’s expectancy of “setting the world on fire” and in most cases a bit of genial hosing to dampen this incipient incendiarism. This year the editors need not bother. The world seems to he ex- tremely close to a general conflagration without any assistance on our part. There is so much combustible rubbish lying about that we are in serious danger of a social bonfire that will reduce our civiliza- tion to ashes. A more pertinent topic would be the question of whether we shall act as a volunteer hre department or a holocaust for the flames. It is no exaggeration to say that another great war will destroy our civilization. A little over twenty-one years ago the United States entered the “War to end War” the “War to make the world safe for Democ- racy.” That war was hardly over when others commenced and they have contin- ued up to this time. The dislocation of social life brought about by war-time needs and the mass hysteria which seems an inevitable concomitant to modern war has not been remedied. Democracy is not safe; in fact it is seriously questioned in even those countries where it is most in- digenous. Scepticism and iconoclasm have undermined our main social institutions and traditions. Another war would spell their doom. It is difficult to appreciate what this means. Our experience of the destruction of a civilization is vicarious. The example closest to us is the fall of the Roman em- pire and I doubt if, even in our wildest flights of imagination, we could conjure up the chaos that engulfed the then civil- ized world when the law of Rome ceased to function and Europe returned to a system of brigandage. It took several hundred years and all the might of the Church to revivify and restore order to society. In- credible as it may seem it is not inconceiv- able that such a fate may befall our society. It is difficult to maintain a mental and spiritual balance in the face of such a danger. The magnitude and complexity of the problems involved stagger the imagi- nation and tempt the mind to inertia, in- difference or pessimistic fatalism. On that account what efforts we make are apt to be half-hearted and tainted with scepticism. We are apt to attempt to insulate ourselves and to delude ourselves into thinking that we will not be affected by these “world affairs.” This attitude is folly and is an impedi- ment to peace. For good or for evil we are going to be affected by the society about us and the shock of events will shatter all these defences. The only result they will have is to permit the free-working of the forces of destruction. It is far better to face the situation; to attempt a rational analy- sis of the danger and then to do what we can to mitigate it. The mere fact that our individual action does not bulk great does not mean that it has been useless. Our in- ability to see the result of individual ac- tion when it is merged with society acting as a unit is not the criterion of its utility. A society such as ours takes its general tone and ideals from the individuals of which it is composed. It we refuse to he panicked into pessimism or lulled into uncritical silence bv unjustified optimism we will have done a great deal for the preservation of social sanity and the pre- vention of social suicide. I think one of our first tasks should he to define our objective. Although there is a great deal of talk about peace, very few people seem to agree as to its definition. Mr. Lippman for instance remarked the other day that it was the manifest des- tiny of the United States to act as the preserver of world peace in place of Great Britain. I had never before considered Great Britain as the preserver of peace. My interpretation of history had led me to conclude that the title was about as honor- ary as Defender of the Faith”; but pres- cinding from that question there seems to be an erroneous conception of peace im- plicit in such a statement. For several hundred years Europe has not been at peace. The actual state of Europe during all that time has been either an armed truce or subjugation by the balance of power. ” By comparison, two prize fight- ers glaring at each other between rounds present a picture of the acme of hrotherlv love. Such a peace has very dubious value. It may prolong the agony but it may also allow the combatants time to catch their breath. In any case it is not the sort of peace that can be trusted and it leaves no security in the lulls between conflicts. It is a peace based on fear and will flame into war as soon as the fear ceases to operate. The truth of that statement is growing increasingly obvious. Repressive and co- ercive measures have little to recommend them when judged bv historical evidence. A race or a nation, |ust as an individual, resents the indignity of slavery or semi- slavery and the domination of one nation over another serves only to sow the seeds of hatred that will blossom into war as soon as the favorable opportunity occurs. And the harvest of enmity seems always to he more repression, more coercion, more injustice. The saying, history repeats itself,” hides a very horrible truth. What we see as repetitious resembles its ante- cedent because it is the effect and rests potentially in the antecedent. As in the Aeschylean tragedy, crime begets crime and that in turn begets crime until, like the chorus in the Libation Pouters, we cry out, ' AVhere will it end? Where will it cease at last? The mighty Ate dread lulled into slumber?” If we are going to have a lasting peace we must find some way to discard what Pope Pius XI has called the mournful heritage of hatred and revenge.” We will not find It by concentrating our efforts on the preservation of the status quo we will not find It in the domineering gesture of more armaments. W ' e will find it when we become pacifist enough to know what peace is; when we have learned to dis- tinguish the dove from the vulture. Our modern peacemakers are in hope- less confusion as to the means to be em- ployed to attain peace partly because they have not bothered to find out what peace is and to define their objectives in the light of its definition. They relv upon instru- ments which are not only naturally im- perfect but which are fallen from even the relative goodness of the natural state and are tainted with selfishness and corruption. Some place their trust in the League of Nations which, as one writer puts it, is ♦ It E U I $ [ 191 ] “the offspring of a union between a utopi- an ideal to establish world peace and a cynical determination to enforce a mili- tary victory. Others place their trust in a god called “Democracy. This class seems to be oblivious to the fact that democracy is only one of many systems of govern- ment and that it is a system that works only when the fundamental philosophy of social organization is unquestioned, and that it may be unfitted to some nations. Others, like Mr. Lippmann, apparently adhere to the theory of paternalism which amounts to big-brother domination of his adult juniors, — an excellent way of provoking a quarrel. Others would have an international police force. Most of these proposals involve evasions of one sort or another. One of the evasions is the defini- tion of peace; another, the evasion of what Mr. Wickham Steed calls the risks of peace. Peace is not the repression by force; it is not an armed truce and it is not of necessity the status quo. Peace is the tranquillity that follows on a just order. It implies the union of human wills and a unity of aim. It requires a respect forhuman personality and of the free will of men and nations. Since the terms of justice may change with changing events or condi- tions it cannot be a passive or static con- dition. It is dynamic and requires that the system, or order, change with changed con- dition of fact. As one writer has explained it: Justice may require the subordination of the minor to his parent, of the colony to the fatherland; but the same sort of sub- ordination would be an injustice if imposed after the minority or after the colony had developed a healthy social system of its own. Practically all the measures pro- posed for the pacification of the world have disregarded the fundamental noti on that justice must be the foundation of the order sought to be established. There is some color of excuse for this failure. It is very easy to sit in one ' s study and define justice in broad terms. It is much more difficult to define it in relation to particular events or situations and to apply it to the kaleidoscope of events. It is sheer folly to establish the lines of a national or international order and expect the lines to remain intact and as immutable as the Old Man of the Mountain. That was partly recognized at Versailles. The recog- nition might have borne fruit if there had been less injustice in the initial settlement and a readier acceptance of the risks of peace. But the subscribing nations were not willing to accept those risks. Such organ- izations as the League of Nations and such tribunals as the W ' orld Court require for their success the acceptance of the corolla- ries flowing from the terms of their institu- tion. One of these is that the subscribing nations shall relinquish p’o tanto their national sovereignty and agree to submit their differences to an arbitration that shall be final. The limits of the relinquishment of sovereignty might be drawn with some exactness hut even that would not avail if the further corollary, the abandonment of neutrality, was not likewise accepted. How otherwise could the decrees of an inter- national court be made effective? Behind the manifest failure of the League and the World Court are these two causes. Justice was inherent in the terms of their founda- tion and none of the nations was willing to take the risks of peace. There is even less willingness now. Yet this seems to be the only condition upon which a peaceful order can he es- tablished. There is a cause behind this failure to relinquish sovereignty with its conse- quent tragic failure to secure the peace of Europe. It is a cause that historians are reluctant to admit but which is ever growing more obvious. “Europe,” as a de- scriptive term, is gradually being narrowed in meaning to a geographical location.” There was a time when the nations of Europe were units of a wholeand the whole was Christendom. At that time it was possible to have unity of aim; it was pos- sible to have an international law that had a sanction. That was before the re- ligion of nationalism had perverted the heart of man. There was a common culture, a common philosophy, a common religion. The patriotism of men was not confined to their own city or country. It extended, as the Crusades proved, to the defence of all Christendom. All men recognized a spirit- ual authority which was not coterminous with the state hut existed above the state as the coordinating principle of Christen- dom. At that time men were internation- alists in the best sense of the word. At that time a proposal to relinquish sovereignty, or a portion of it, for the good of Europe would have had some chance of being ac- cepted. That It is not so today is due in the last analysis to the dismemberment and de- struction of European entity. And there is no chance of a permanent and stable peace in Europe until that condition is remedied; until there is a revival of homogeneity of culture. Whthin a state the seeminglv con- flicting rights of individuals are regulated and peace maintained bv the acceptance on the part of society in general of certain basic rules of conduct and of judgment. The freedom of the individual is limited by the freedom of others and the individual accepts this limitation because it is a prim- ary condition to the existence of society. If Europe is to be a society its component nations must do what the individuals within a state do. To attain that end a common culture is necessary. The spiritual anarchy of the Protestant revolt must be remedied. Without such a metamorphosis of society, it is indeed possible to achieve some show of peace, to lengthen the inter- val between wars; but a true peace will be impossible. At first glance this condition of peace, the restoration of the homogeneity of European culture, seems to he beyond the realm of hope — something devoutly to be wished.” Humanly speaking it seems im- possible of attainment, and humanly speak- ing it probably is impossible of attain- ment. Yet there are indications today of a growth toward an acceptance of the prin- ciples upon which the restoration of unity must proceed. The unfounded humanism of the post-renaissance (the unbounded faith in the capacity of the purely “natur- al” man and unaided human reason to at- tain the perfection of society) has been losing ground. The anthropocentric theory of human self-sufficiency has been des- troyed. The idolatry of the “natural man” ended in the debasement of man; the idola- try of the human reason ended in the de- nial of reason. Now that the results of such theories are perceived there is a dehnite movement in the other direction, a movement which recognizes at one and the same time the dignity and the subor- dination of man. As Professor W ' hitehead is reported to have said; Philosophy has [ 193 ] R E R I practically completed the circle and has returned to Thomistic principles.” There is no doubt that there is a strong resurgence of the Catholic spirit both in philosophy and art. Such a movement is bound to bear fruit and the dissensions and discordance of opposing schools will only add impetus to it. There are certainly grounds for hope. And in the meantime what are we to do? I would like to he specific, to set down a definite and minute program of action; I cannot do that and I doubt if anyone could. But a broad course may be laid. What is needed to restore peace is a regen- eration of society and its impregnation with the Catholic spirit. Is it possible? In the words of Peter Wust: “This process of regeneration will be accomplished in the very hour when we Catholics unite in serious reform of ourselves. When we have, one and all, effected this reformation a force of attraction will be generated, so potent that none of those standing with- out will be able to resist it. . . .The diffi- culties involved in a dechristianized cul- ture will not be disposed of at one blow but they will begin to disappear and a new age will dawn. Make yourself completely Christian. Then look around you and per- form the work that has been given to you according to your capacity. But wait in patience. For it is only the sowing that is your business. Leave the gathering of the harvest to the generations that God has called to that magnificent task.” I think this is the secret, the “way” of individual and social peace. It is not “as the world gives peace” perhaps, but we have tried that Grecian gift and found it a deadly counterfeit. If we ask for a sign, the sign has been gi ven to us. W ' e have but to apprehend and follow it. Margaret M. Sheehan, ’38 [ 194 ] ♦ I u tl 8 Last Will and Testament W ' c, the Class of 1938, being very sane in mind and in body, do hereby call together all Regis students for the pur)x)se of hear- ing our last will and testament. All of our possessions which we are about to be- queath should be gratefully received and reverently kept. To the College, we leave a guarantee that in the years to come, the Class of 1938 will be the greatest asset that Regis has ever known, even though public opinion seems contrary to this surety. To the Faculty, we express our thanks for their herculean efforts in molding us into respectful and loyal students of Regis. To the Juniors, we leave our spirit of docility, so that they too may comply with the regulations of the college as we did. To the Sophomores, we leave our grate- ful appreciation for the support which they gave us in many of those deep dark moments. W e also leave the hope that they will have as grand a Sister Class as we did. To the youngest members of the College, the Freshmen, we leave our encourage- ment. Just remember that it is “grand sailing” after the first four years. And in- cidentally, keep every one of your class notes — they will come in handy for the Comprehensives — as we are just discover- ing! miserahile dictui The individual bequests are left as fol- lows ; To Alice Gately and Mary MacDonnell, Mary O’Toole leaves her motto, “It’s a great life if you don’t week-end.” ”No new sport models for us,” said Mary Shaw and Myra Fitzgerald as they “chugged” to school every day in their Maxwell — which, incidentally, they leave ♦ 1 o 3 to the boston Museum, if said car is still running by September. After several weeks’ research, hrginia Caldbeck and Elena Perini have perfected a taxi that is guaranteed to enable pas- sengers to meet boats on time. They leave this cab to the Sophomore New York week-enders. Miss the boat, girls? To the French Majors, Rosemary Doher- ty, whose interest seems to be deeply con- centrated on bigger and better things, leaves her expert ability to “parlez-vous.” Aurelia Kelley and Clare Morgan will their extensive repertoire of jokes to Mar- cella Donovan, who alone can enjoy them to their fullest extent. Rita Sherman leaves her dancing ability to Marjorie Sullivan. Incidentally, Mar- jorie, Rita always does the “Big Apple” exceptionally well at Harvard dances. Anna Caputo and Mary Sullivan leave full particulars concerning the First Aid Station which they intend to establish. [ 196 ] This project is a result of their recent inter- est in the field of medicine. A hook entitled You Too, in Four Short Years bv Mary Smith Burke is left to all Freshmen. The book is worthy of note. Bernadette Grenier bequeaths her per- suasive powers of argumentation and her limitless background for upholding her beliefs, to Rosemary Burke. Free instructions on how to obtain votes will be given to any one desirous of such, by Peggy Sheehan. These lessons are par- ticularly effective during May Queen elections. Music hath its charms To Virginia Broderick, is left Mary O’Connor ' s calm, unruflled ways and her soft, gentle voice. Anna McGillicuddy leaves an unfor- gettable picture of her blond tresses and beauty, along with her flair for short nature-walks. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride will hardly apply in the case of Frannie Reardon, nevertheless, she leaves a set of instructions on the behavior of a brides- maid, to Margaret Landers. Mary Lyons compiles a prescription for discouraged social workers, and leaves it it to posterity: Fie who misses that W ednesday morning bus, is lost. Flelen Lordan leaves her title of the shortest-lived boarder at Regis to anyone who can improve on her record. The Long ami Short of Secretarial Studies bv Louise Friary and Kathleen Mullen, has been left as a guidebook to future typing sufferers. Rita Murphy willingly parts with her Accounts books. These hooks will go to the highest bidder. Primary bid must be at least three dollars. Catherine O’Brien has left a set of in- structions on how to lose friends and aggravate people by means of handwriting. A special postal service between Regis and Pennsylvania has been set up by Lois McCarthy. She has consented to loan it only loan it, mind you, to any worthv long-distance correspondents. To next year’s Ethics Class, Margaret Thornton leaves her brilliant exposition of the she’s in, she’s out theory. As Janet Ahern usually needs a guiding hand in matters pertaining to the heart. Lois has another letter u K a I s [ 197 ] Betty Sweeney, fully experienced, proffers her assistance. Mary Gahan leaves to Elinor O’Hare, Pegasus, her chameleon, to prove in case of need, that deception is not intrinsically wrong. Pauline O’Brien relinquishes her Friday afternoon Regis-to-Wellesley Taxi-Service to Dorothy Carman. To the late-sleepers, Mary Hogan wills the bell she used in The Bellman of A ons. Mary was reluctant to part with this at first because she loved the sound, but now she has a different ’’ring” to take its place. To Cid O’Farrell and Dot Pearce, Flor- ence Dolan leaves her book. How to Make Things Boom or Trials of a Chem. Student. Eileen Carman leaves all her poetry to the Kegis Herald to be used in time of need. Her sonnet, A Little Miss, is to be used only on special occasions. The girl with the Ray of sunshine smile Helena Rogers — is undecided ” ’eb-ber” or not to leave to Rosemary Burke Ray’s much abused photograph. Due to the con- tract of May 25, said photo has been re- placed by the reality. Is there a poet in the house? To any would-be farmerettes, Marion Mulhern leaves instructions on how to raise chickens. Her secret to success lies in the poster she has lacked up inside the hen-coop: ‘‘An egg a day keeps the hatchet away.” To the more artistically-minded Regis- ites, Anna Golden suggests the mixture of colors for better results par exemple - Brown and White. After due consideration, ChrisO’Meara’s password to Harvard get-togethers is left to Margaret Hart, the Roving Reporter, No, this isn ' t Harvard who undoubtedly will make more than good use of it. Constance Macdonald entrusts her lim- itless vigor and vitality to Elsie Grady. Priscilla Nolan and Julia Teddy, who were invariably lace for first class, offer their ’’better late than never” philosophy to Doris Paradis and Mary Find. Mary Mallov is awaiting bids for one pair of pince-nez, and one slightly Scottish accent. Both are in good condition. To the other sister teams at Regis, the Gills — Genevieve and M. Winifred — leave [ 198 ] an album of their many episodes. This album should prove very humorous and interesting, as well as helpful. Geraldine Mclnerney promises to plead all law cases pertaining to Regis students free of charge. Gerry is quite the authority in such legal matters. Mary McNally bestows her many or- chids on Judie Byrne. Mary Melanson and Mary White leave their furrowed brows, which they ob- tained from solving Math problems, to Marion Maloon and Dorothea Murray. Betty Sutton leaves her attraction for Shaws — pardon me. Shows — to the Drama- tic Club. A portrait of Rita Genna doing her famous Act will be placed in the marble foyer as a memorial of Rita ' s talent. Upon Marjorie Carroll, Eileen Donohue bestows advice concerning new hair-do’s. Along with this, goes a course in “The Art of Oratory, or How to Phil up Those Lonely Hours.’’ Betty Walsh offers a suggestion to all Juniors, on how to daintily tread the marble stairs. Lillian Burns leaves her by-word — Double or Nothing to Party Burke, along with her interest in the BURKE- shires. Gertrude Magner, Mary Murphy, and Helen Donovan leave all of their History books to future majors in that subject. Ap- propriate exhortations will be found on the inside covers. Mary Broderick leaves her inimitable Lreddie Bartholomew act to Constance Dever. Mary’s resemblance to this young actor has been particularly noticeable. Margaret Donovan leaves a catalogue of her experiences on those Wednesday mornings in the down-town law office to Virginia Callahan. Margaret McDermott just ups and leaves. The headaches and insomnia she has suffered from be ing too efficient, could not be willed to anyone. In testimony thereof. We, the Class of 1938, still sane, hereunto affix our Red and White Seal to this, our first will and testa- ment, on this the sixth day of June, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-eight.
