Yours has been the sacrifice, the effort, the understanding, — ours, the pleasure, the enjoyment, the companionship. Regis has offered us a Catholic education, the rich heritage of our Mother, the Church. Today we have arrived at the crest of the hill, you have watched us mounting these four years. We have put forth our best efforts and vou have never doubted our final success. So, in loving appreciation and sincere gratitude, we dedicate this, the 1939 edition of the MOUNT REGIS to you, devoted mothers and fathers. May we, your children always, never lessen the pride we hope you feel in us today. FOIIIilWOlt n I N this, the beginning of a final chapter, the Class of 1939 sets as the keynote of its four brief years Hilaire Belloc’s words: “There’s nothing worth the work of win- ning save laughter and the love of friends.’’ Here in the shadow of the Tower we have found happiness in work and in recrea- tion. With ideals formed under the in- spiration of the Cross and the Flag, fos- tered by the tradition of Regis, we go forth in the service of the King. That the sunlit hours of joy spent in these pillared halls and wooded ways may not escape us, we have enclosed between the covers of this hook the lasting memo- ries and act]uaintances which have made Regis so dear to us. By silhouettes of art and phrase we have tried to portray in profile the beauty and simpli city that is college life here “on the hilltop.” To the extent that you share our enjoyment in reading these pages, our volume succeeds. r O IV T K X T B ackground of a natural drama. . the birth of beauty in the spring. . .the splendid death of au- tumn ... winter’s brilliant victory ... life ’neath the Cross on College Hall . . . the Flag on the Norman Tower . . . .Personae. . .guides on a royal road. . .their gifts. . . ideals of scholarship. . .love of learning. . . .Actresses. . . ’39 in the leading role. . none like us, we think. . .our support and oldest friends, the Juniors. . .sister Sopho- mores. . .babies who would belie the name, the Fresh- men. . . .Vehicles of Action. . .through clubs and publica- tions we ride our hobby horses ... .Grand Finale... essays. . .summation. . .ode. . .oration. . .a last look and farewell. . the new Beginning.

Carroll, ' 39 President Louise M. McNamee, ' 39 Vice-President Rosemary C. Burke, ' 39 Secretary A New Deal” in srudenr government, in the form of a reorganiza- tion outlined in the 1939 Students ' Guide, has resulted in the forma- tion of a Students’ Organization and a Student Council with greatly increased powers. Elections were held in September under President Beth Carroll and Vice-President Louise McNamee and the following, by virtue of office, became Council members: Barbara Sullivan, Sen- ior President; Rosemary Burke, Cecilia O’Farrell, Sodality Prefects; Marian Maloon, Eleanor O’Hare, Councilors; Julie O’Brien, Junior President, Christine McKenney, Rita McNeil, Councilors; Mary Lee, Sophomore President; Grace Morrissey, Councilor; and Mary Keefe, Freshman President. The Student Council, in exercising its jurisdiction over matters of discipline, inaugurated a carefully scaled demerit system, with powers of campus and suspension. It has been a year of experiment, with demerits regarded not as penalties in themselves, but as warn- ings. Members of the Student Government have felt responsibility divided among them and by the personal influence of their own faith- fulness to the College, to their Class, and the Council, have tried to maintain a spirit of loyalty and a standard of conduct in accordance with Kegis ideals.

Maloon STUDENT SODALITY As Our Blessed Mother looked down from Heaven, on us, her spirit- ual children assembled in our beloved Chapel on each Wednesday afternoon and evening, she, no doubt, smiled on us “as our words of endearment were whispered to her. Our Spiritual Director, the Reverend Edward T. Harrington, by capable and conscientious direction, assisted us in planning our Sodality activities. Under his guidance, the ofhcers met every two weeks to formulate plans for the year. On December 8, was held the annual Reception of 137 Freshmen — the guest speaker being the Reverend Richard L. Rooney, S.J., of Boston College. Our particular and purposeful Catholic Action pro- ject was the formation of a Sodality Lecture Team with Rosemary C. Burke, ’39, and Cecilia A. O’Farrell, ’39, as chairmen; Mary R. Lind, ’39, Beth Carroll, ’39, and Katherine Tracy, ’39, as speakers. On March 1, the Sodality was privileged to hear the Reverend Gerald J. Ellard, S.J., of the Central Office. His topic was; The Hori- zons of Prayer: Hoiv to Widen Them. W ' ith our Annual May Procession, the Sodality brought to a close a year of interrupted hut, nevertheless, intensified spiritual activi- ties. OFFICERS Rosemary C. Burke, ' 39 Cecilia A.

Kiely, ' 40 Secretary Mae P. Cabeceiras, ' 40 Treasurer Doris L. Paradis, ' 40 Editor Sigma Tau Phi, which is the assembly of those-who-love-the-Muses, has continued, since its foundation in 1930, to find members who delight in ancient lore and its never-failing human values. And since it IS the spirit of our classical heroes, from Plato in his Symposium to Horace in his Odes, to indulge their interests in a sociable way, we have endeavored to perpetuate the tradition. The activities of the year began officially in October at a specially arranged Roman banquet, held in our Sabine Farm — otherwise known as the Log Cabin. New members were initiated by following the route of Aeneas through Hades and then entertained by an un- usual bit of stagecraft, the parting of Dido and Aeneas. The calendar for the remainder of the year included four issues of the Res Littera- rum; an original marionette production of the Menaechtni of Plautus; attendance at meetings of larger classical associations and a marion- ette convention; our annual March party, which was held on St. Patrick’s Dav, to celebrate the Ides of March and Erin; and, finally, our solemn farewells to the departing members of 1939. To our President and officers, tnaxtmas gratias agimus! M. Cabeceiras, G. Kiely, M. Burke, P. DeBaggis, D. Paradis [ 116 ] LE CENACLE LITTERAIRE This year Le Cenacle Litt ' eraire presented an unusually interesting and varied program. The cultural aim of the Club was successfully ef- fected by the enthusiastic efforts of the officers. Activities began with a meeting on November 3, at which dra- matics held a prominent place. The Senior members presented a short comedy entitled ha Surprise d’lsadore. A French book, Racine, was awarded to Charlotte Ruiter for her fine rendition of Isadore. Com- munity singing followed. Early in December the Club featured two enjoyable readings by Doris Paradis and Rose Marie Brouillette. The Juniors entertained with a delightful comedy, V endredi 13, by Roger Madry. Who can forget Madame Popineau, so ably portrayed by Mae Cabeceiras that she won the coveted award of the month, a book of French poetry? The ever-popular short play L’ Anglais Tel Qii on Le Parle by Tristan Bernard was delightfully rendered by the Sophomores. Claire Cos- grove and Marguerite Erickson sang and Marie Conlon played sever- al trumpet selections. An outstanding feature of the year was the Concours Oratoire. Books offered bv the French Government were awarded to the winners. OFFICERS Angelina M. Gandolfo, ' 39 President Ruth H. Ford, ' 39 V ice-President Doris E.

Silvia, ' 40 Vice-President Elizabeth J. Dowd, ' 41 Secretary Virginia R. Ferraro, ' 40 Treasurer The initial meeting of El Circulo Espanol was held in November at Carondolet and was in the form of a social —the purpose of which was to introduce the Freshmen to the older members of the Club. Outstanding events of this meeting consisted of a marshmallow race for the newcomers and two short one-act plays, supervised by M. Katherine Tracy. In December Mary Deveney and Marie Nagle gave interesting talks on The Glory that Was Spain ' s. El Circulo Espanol was also fortunate in having among its members this year Leonor Saenz, who told how Christmas is celebrated in South America. She also dis- cussed for the Club some of the interesting South American customs. A ' alentine Tea was held at Regis Hall in February and this proved to be a purely social affair. A solo by Mary Deveney and demonstrations of the Lambeth Walk formed part of the entertain- ment. In March El Circulo Espanol had the pleasure of hearing Miss Anna Dean, who gave an instructive lecture on her travels in Europe and the drastic changes which have occurred there during the past seven years. Rostna es Fragil, a one-act play, concluded another successful year of El Circulo Espanol. V. Ferraro, L. Silvia, E. Dowd, G. Morrison DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN Der Deutsche V ere in is a society which aims to study the literature of Germany in its various phases and to inculcate in its members a deep appreciation and a thorough understanding of German literature. Insight into the lives of the best writers gave the meetings not only educational and cultural import, hut also added an informal tone, which helped to maintain active interest. The cooperation of the individual members who carefully pre- pared interesting papers, as well as the hne spirit of the remaining members, was responsible for the success of the Club. At the February meeting, the members sponsored an illustrated lecture on Berlin. Eleanor Flynn, ’41, reviewed Lennhoff’s Last Five Hours of Austria. Following this, tea was served by a committee, which included Geraldine Murphy, ’41, Eleanor Flaherty, ’40, Cornelia Dinneen, ’41, and Eleanor Eleming, ’41. The social activities of the Club closed with a tea at Regis Hall, at which hrginia Broderick presided. Der Deutsche V ere in has done much toward furthering a desire to speak German and to acquire a sympathetic understanding of Ger- man civilization. OFFICERS A.

The meeting con- cluded with group singing of the beautiful Santa Lucia. Previous to the Christmas holidays, II Ritrovo Dante held an en- joyable and instructive party, during which Italian folk-customs of celebrating holidays and feast days were discussed. Members of the Club gleaned much information regarding the beauties of Italy, as described by Father Hennessey in his travel talks. Projects for later meetings were making the acquaintance of Italian operas, the life and works of Dante, and other famous literary and historical men of Italy. Already launched on a successful career, it is the sincere hoj of all Club members and well-wishers that Kttrovo Dante will ever remain as active and enthusiastic as it is todav. G. Morrison, A. Gandolfo, A. Burke, R. Eord [ no] 1 LOUIS PASTEUR CLUB The Louis Pasteur Club, an organization to advance the cause of science at Regis, nobly upheld its ideals in the 1938-39 term. The season began with a lively initiation of the new members into the Club, in the new science building. Cardinal O’Connell Hall. Under the leadership of the officers, the Club launched an active program of student demonstration, scientihc lectures by prominent speakers, and motion pictures of a scientihc nature. At the January meeting, the Reverend Michael J. Ahern, S.J., of Weston College, the hrst guest speaker in Cardinal O’Connell Hall, honored the Club, by lecturing on Science in the Service of the Church. The members of the Alumnae were entertained at a Christmas tea. Three of the past graduates spoke on science as a major in various helds of graduate activity. A Hobby Show, held in April, gave evidence of the skill, interest, and cooperation of the members who helped to make this year a suc- cessful one in the annals of the Louis Pasteur Club. OFFICERS Mary M. Eden, ' 39 President Mary F. Buckley, ' 39 V ice-President Dorothy M. Pearce, ' 39 Secretary Olga G. DeSimone, ' 39 Treasurer O. DeSimone, D. Pearce, M. Eden, M.

Murphy, ' 40 Treasurer At the traditional candlelight ceremony in October, the Freshmen were welcomed into the Home Economics Club. Mary O ' Donoghue, ’39, played the role of the spirit of Home Economics. In January, at a meeting held at Simmons College, a member of the Cluh, Barbara Norton, ' 40, was chosen as the New England rep- resentative at the National Home Economics Convention to be held, in June, at San Antonio, Texas. A Hlentine Party and a Tea were the features of the February gathering. On March 7, the Fraser Flower Shop of W ellesley sponsored a Flower Show. Every person attending received a corsage or bouquet. The two following meetings took the form of lectures. Miss Del- phine Lerschen, Home Economics Director of Public Service in Man- chester, N. H., stressed home service as a profession; and a demon- stration and lecture of the tricolator method of coffee-making was presented by Miss M. E. Sutton of New York. This vear’s activities concluded on May 6 when the spring meeting of the New England Home Economics Association was held at Regis College. C. Farley, H. Murphy, C. Griffin, E. Coppinger [ 122 ] ETHELON CLUB The Ethelon Club, organized primarily for charitable purposes, has maintained its uniqueness by permitting anyone to become an asso- ciate member who wishes to give her time and services. Consequent- ly, no dues are required and the treasury is augmented from the pro- ceeds of the Penny Sale and from private donations. This year the Sale doubled its profits, owing to the efforts of President Elizabeth Boylan, ’39, Chairman Marie McCabe, ’39, and a zealous commit- tee. Most of the returns were used in the distribution of Christmas dinners, toys, and clothes. The cobperation of the entire College was so complete that the Ethelon Club expressed its appreciation by in- viting the student body to a presentation of Boys ' Town. Throughout the year donations are received by friends of the Club, thus allowing the members who are engaged in actual held work in Boston to continue their Catholic Action in a very tangible way. The various feasts of the year are celebrated in Settlement Houses, under the direction of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, by means of these contributions. Emergency calls are answered immediately by mem- bers of the Ethelon Club, who can always hnd many at Regis to help in these truly Christlike endeavors. In June the Ethelon Tea was held for the supervisors of the students engaged in social work in the agencies of Boston and for the friends of the Club. Among those who received the guests were; the Rever- end Thomas Reynolds, Miss Mary Alma Cotter, Miss Mary Miley, Seniors, and Juniors, while the Sophomores waited upon their upper- classmen and their guests. OFFICERS Elizabeth A. Boylan, ' 39 President Marie V. Dillon, ' 40 V ice-President Martina C. Sullivan, ' 41 Secretary Marcella M. Donovan, ' 40 Treasurer M. Dillon, E. Boylan, M. Sullivan, M.

Carey, ' 40 T rea surer To produce a woman, rich in the resources of business acumen, alive with eagerness to revolutionize the clerical world — such is the aim of the Regis Secretarial Club. This Club launched the year’s social curriculum with the annual party to welcome the Freshmen. Professor Quiz, alias Dorothv Gookin, ’39, introduced the students into the realms of the intelli- gentsia with her question box. The final ’’Right, absolutelv right” was awarded to Mary Rita Ford, ’41. The February meeting took the form of a social tea at which there was an entertainment at Regis Hall. An educational aspect of the Secretarial Club was offered by Mr. Louis J. Fish, Director of Commercial Education in the Boston Pub- lic Schools. Mr. Fish enumerated the qualihcations of a perfect secretary. Through these activities, Regis secretaries have spent many profit- able and enjoyable hours, gathering ideas and information about current problems and conditions. The Senior members of the Club leave, to the group of fast-growing followers, the worth-while aim of perfection for which they have labored the past four years. L. Carey, R. Burke, H. Flynn, J. Moran [ 1 HISTORICAL CLUB The Historical Club, in its fifth year of existence, has completed a well-rounded season of interesting enterprises. Members are com- prised of Freshmen from the prescribed History classes. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who have chosen History as their major or re- lated subject. At the hrst meeting of the Club, held in November, the Reverend Edward T. Harrington, College chaplain, addressed the group. His subject was: The Know-Nothing Movement in Massachusetts . Members of the Freshman Class conducted the next gathering. Their topics were selected from subjects stressed in the History Sur- vey Course. The following program was presented: One Hour u’ith the Greeks. Ruth Murray made a scholarly comparison of Cimon, Aristides, and Themistocles . Solon and His Economic Reforms furnished Helen Hig- gins with an appropriate subject. Ursula Brophy spoke on The Age of Pencles and Helen McCarthy discussed Sappho and Her School. An outstanding feature was the interesting lecture given by Mr. John E. O’Laughlin, History professor at the Somerville High School. His subject was Cardinal Conclavi, Foil of Napoleon. Following the lecture, a tea was given at Regis Hall. OFFICERS M. Eleanor O ' Hare, ' 39 President Mary E. Gilbane, ' 39 Vice-President Margaret M. Hart, ' 39 Secretary Elinore A.

Dorothea Murray, 39 V ice-President Miriam }. Donovan, ' 39 Secretary Elizabeth }. Cunniff, ' 39 Treasurer The third year of the Mathematical Club has been a challenge to future members for its sustained enthusiasm in making mathematics better known and a} ' � } ' reciated. At the October meeting, the year’s activities were } ' ilanned. Inter- est centered around to}‘ucs of a} ' } ' ilied mathematics, at the subsequent gatherings. The Expediency of Compromise in Mathematical Curricula was exjUained. Exi ' iositions were presented on The Mathematics of Insurance and of the Automobile. A lecture. Men of Mathematics , was given at the March meeting, by Mr. John V. Roche, Chairman of the Mathematical De} ' iartment of Roslindale High School. At a tea, in A} ' inl, an engraved silver cu) ' i was }iresented to the winner of the annual contest offered to high school students. Another Club project was the compilation of mathematical-term definitions, to be organized into a mathematical dictionary. The social calendar of the Club included a reception to new mem- bers at a Hallowe’en party and three dinner } ' iarties. As usual, the I ' lrogram on these occasions consisted of mathematical games and other amusements. The “Six Seniors” urge all the Club members to continue in en- thusiasm and to “Be ingenious.” E. Mahoney, M. Maloon, M. Donovan, A. Laffin, D. Murray, E. Cunniff READING CLUB The Reading Club this year consisted of a record number of thirty- five enthusiasts. At the October meeting, a discussion was held rela- tive to activities which would insure an outstanding organization. It was decided that at several of the meetings the members would discuss the best sellers in both fiction and non-fiction — thereby provoking criticism and stimulating discretion in the selection of reading material. Christmas festivities were celebrated with an informal tea and a play entitled A Christmas Message, given by the Club members. The March meeting also took the form of an informal tea, at which a guest speaker, Miss Mary Catherine McDonough, lecturer on personality and charm, recounted experiences in journalistic and radio work and offered practical suggestions to members interested in writing or broadcasting. Alternate gatherings consisted of round table or informal discus- sions in which various members of the Club reviewed their current favorites, chosen from hction and non-fiction. Suggestions were made as to worth-while books for the College Library. OFFICERS Regina K. Burke, ' 39 president Helen }. Hogan, ' 40 V ict-President Sally C.

Carroll, ' 39 T reasnrer Ar the hrst meeting of the Dramatic Clnh, held on October 11, 1938, the members officially initiated this season by the election of Senior officers. The Class of 1940 selected Mae Cabeceiras as its repre- sentative. Under the able and skilled guidance of these students, work was started on the initial production of the year — the annual Christmas play. This year, the drama. One Night in Bethlehetn, combined the traditional and lovely theme of the Nativity, with a prologue and an epilogue laid in medieval England. The Junior section of the Dramatic Club was divided into groups, each of which worked on a one-act play. One of these, a comedy, entitled The Tenth Word, was presented to the student body on De- cember 20, at thejunior Yuletide party. During the second semester the Club members devoted consider- able time to practicing and preparing for the presentation of the Commencement Play, The Golden Sovereign. This production, depict- ing the life of dctoria Regina, has great dramatic power and was met with success equal only to that of the Christmas rendition. M. Cabeceiras, A. Burke, D. Murray, I. Carroll, M. Lind [128] INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The 1938-1939 activities of the International Relations Club, be- cause of their variability and multiplicity, have marked this year as being even more successful than the inauguration year of the Club in 1937. On November 9, as a feature of American Education Week, a tree was planted on the campus to commemorate the Sesquicentennial celebration of the Constitution. Later in the month the officers of the Club attended the New England Regional Meeting, held at Holy Cross College, to formulate plans for the February convention. Panel discussions, intercollegiate as well as interclass, formed a major activity of the Club. An interesting discussion between mem- bers of the Regis and the Holy Cross Clubs was held in December, on the subject of An Anglo-American Alliance. At the New England Catholic Peace Convention at Holy Cross College, on February 11, Barbara Norton, Tce-President of the New England Catholic Peace Federation, presided over the discus- sion of Communism, Nagism, and Fascisjn. On the last Sunday in March, a lecture was sponsored by the Inter- national Relations Club, at which the Reverend Francis E. Low, S.J., guest speaker, gave a thorough discussion of Communism. Thus was concluded a most active and enthusiastic Club year. OFFICERS Barbara C. Norton, ' 40 President M. Eleanor O Hare, ' 39 Vice-President Dorothy L, McGarry, ' 40 Secretary Dorothy A. Golden, ' 40 Treasurer D. McGarry, D. Golden, E. O ' Hare, B. Norton [ 129 ] GLEE CLUB OFFICERS Margaret M. Madden, ' 40 President Elizabeth M. Mahoney, ' 39 V ice-President Louise C. Forrest, ' 40 Secretary E. Mary Guthrie, ' 40 Treasurer “The music in my heart 1 bore Long after it was heard no more,” as the strains of A Modern Masterpiece, by Otis M. Carrington, closed the annual concert in honor of St. Cecilia. Then, in November, as sweet and musical as Apollo’s lute, various members of the Glee Club welcomed the Freshmen and their parents at a tea. The year was brought to a fitting close as the carolers formed a yuletide back- ground, “like music on the waters,” for the Christmas drama. “Such sweet compulsion doth in music be,” that the Regis Col- lege Glee Club joined that of Boston College and Emmanuel in sing- ing at the Music Convention at the Hotel Statler, on March 15- The program included; To God on High Be Glory, Bach; Thou Knowest, Lord, Purcell, and Canto Dt Caccia, Italian Folk Song. To these selec- tions, Regis added Let All My Life Be Music, by Charles Hilbert Spross, and Bottazzo’s Ave Maria. On May 6, the night “was filled with music,” as the Glee Club, accompanied by Arthur Fiedler, entertained at the annual Pops Con- cert held at Symphony Hall. SCHOLA CANTORUM That heavenly music! What is it I hear? The Schola Cantorum, since its inception five years ago, has con- stantly grown in Regis life. From its initial triumph — the Mass for the annual celebration of Founders’ Day in October, to its concluding success — the Baccalaureate Mass, the Schola has always set forth the ideal in choice liturgical music. On December 8, the Sodality Reception was solemnized by a Mariology of hvmns rendered by Virginia Broderick, ’39, and Mar- garet Cahill, Margaret Madden, and Marion Quinn, of 1940, sup- ported by the Schola. To the Schola, also, was granted the privilege of singing the im- pressive Mass of Requiem, commemorating the death of our late Holy Father, Pope Pius XF Ever staunch advocates of Gregorian music, the Schola voices en- hanced the broadcast of the Reverend Michael j. Ahern’s Catholic Hour, on Passion Sunday, with Jesii Dulcis bAemoria; Tartini’s ever- loved Stabat Mater; an Adoramus Te, Christ ' t by C. Rossini; and Theilen’s Anima Christi. The Chapel and the Schola, closely linked in our memories, will ever be our most coveted remembrance of Regis. Margaret M. Madden, ' 40 Director Gladys E. Kiely, ' 40 Accompanist Ready for the Broadcast THE REGIS ORCHESTRA OFFICERS Margaret M. Foley, ' 39 Pretidcnt M. Dorothea Murray, ' 39 Vicc-Prisident Dorothy M. Pearce, ' 39 Secretary Cornelia M. Dinneen, ' 41 Treasurer The orchestra opened its 1938-1939 season at the reception and tea held in honor of the Freshmen in October. A program of Classic al favorites was offered, under the capable direction of Margaret Foley, ’39, director of the orchestra since her Freshman year. On November 22, the annual Caeciliati Concert was presented in honor of Saint Cecilia. The orchestra accompanied the Glee Club in several beautiful renditions, among which was the College Medley. In December, the Regis orchestra ably supported the Dramatic Club in its presentation of One Night in Bethlehem. Not only did it serve as accompaniment and musical background, bur the orchestra played also several Christmas Carols during the intermission. In June, the Dramatic Club was once more assisted by the orchestra in Its portrayal of The Golden Sovereign, the annual Commencement Play. Although not so large as it might be, the Regis orchestra more than makes up for this deficiency, in the enthusiasm of its members. It is only through their unselfish and whole-hearted cobperation that the orchestra will continue to be a musical success. Back Row: A. Murphy, D. Murray, M. Burke, M. Donovan, M. Brennan, C.

News articles, editorials, book reviews, original poetry, club activities, exchanges, and out- side week-end activities have been catalogued in The Herald. This year witnessed the inauguration of a guest column in which ap- peared many articles written by outstanding priests. Our paper, concentrating on literary efforts, tried to seek out bud- ding geniuses in the field of writing. Thus, The Regis Herald en- deavored to reflect student opinion and student talent, likewise. Two Juniors, Helen Hogan and Mary Murphy, were elected in February as assistant editors, to be initiated into the journalism work connected with The Herald. Bernice Sullivan, also of ’40, was selected to apprentice as assistant business manager. The Regis Herald stands as a complete record of student activity for the year — as a reference and as a diary to bring back fond memories which have been forgotten for the moment, but are so happy in recol- lection.

Stokes, ' 36 Treasurer Regis College Alumnae Association, under the leadership of its president, Mrs. Edmund J. McGreenery, ’32, completed another sea- son of gratifying growth as is manifested by the strengthening of traditional undertakings and the initiation of new ones. Among the former was the new format of the Regts Alumnae (Quarterly, together with an advance in its style and content, under the guidance of its editor, Catherine R. Higgins, ' 35. The virility of the Alumnae is evidenced in the policy of offering scholarships for Regis and for Radcliffe College. The Scholarship Fund was much augmented by the successful program sponsored by Mary K. Behlen, ’35- Once again the Alumnae joined with the Regis Guild in its efforts to make Regis Night at the Pops a greater collegiate success. The annual Day of Recollection was held in October, with the Reverend William Daly as celebrant of the Mass and also speaker for the conferences. The next Day of Recollection will serve as a preparation for the anticipated visit of Monsignor Fulton Sheen, with the added attraction of Regis in the loveliest time of the year, the autumn. Mae Yates, ’33, secretary to Monsignor Sheen, is in charge of the affair. In the near future an Appointment Bureau will be opened at Regis, which will combine the vocational guidance of the undergraduate with placement of Seniors and Alumnae and also temporary work for undergraduates.

In the following month a luncheon was given for the members, at the Hotel Lafayette. Later in October a successful Rummage Sale was held at Horticultural Hall. The next gathering took the form of a lecture at the Art Museum. The Right Reverend Augustine F. Hickey, Spiritual Advisor of the Guild, addressed the members in November. A timelv subject of Catholic Action was delivered in January, by Mrs. Herbert Dawes. Other lectures, enthusiastically received, during the year, were those of the Reverend Walter McGuinn, S.J., Miss Elizabeth Herli- hy, and Mr. Edward Hanify. Further achievements of the Guild included a Tea and Sale of Christmas stamps and wrappings, previous to the Christmas season, at the home of Mrs. Joseph V. Carroll, former President of the Guild; and a colored motion picture and travelogue of Rome, Budapest, and the Holy Land, presented by the Reverend Joseph P. Shea in February. A successful Penny Sale was held at the Hotel Touraine in March, under the able guidance of Mrs. Joseph Scanlon. This was followed by the annual Communion Breakfast at the College in April, and in May, by a delightful Regis Night at the Pops, a feature inaugurated two years ago. [ 135 ] THE MOUNT REGIS STAFF Charlotte M. Ruiter, ?9 Editor Mary R. Lind, ' 39 Business Munu er Olga G. DeSimone, ' 39 Art Editor The Mount Regis, the Senior annual, endeavors to present a vivid portrayal of life at Regis College so that a lasting testimonial to the Class of 1939 may ever remain in the homes as well as in the hearts of many friends and members of Regis. Every phase of collegiate acti- vity is herein represented by picture or the written word. Literary material of current importance, collegiate interest, or humorous content has been included in The Mount Regis that it may have a narrative as well as a graphic and informational quality. The in- auguration of a traditional cover for the book is an important feature of the 1939 Mount Regis. The tower was chosen as decoration since it symbolizes the high ideals of the College. The Staff wishes to express its deepest gratitude to His Eminence, William Cardinal O’Connell, for his message to the Seniors. Appre- ciation is also extended to all those who so graciously sponsored social events for the benefit of The Mount Regis, in particular to Monsignor Richard J. Cushing for the unlimited assistance he afford- ed for Fathers’ Night. Back Row: L. McNamee, A. Sughrue, D. Pearce, O. DeSimone Eront Row: M Hart, M. Lind, C. Ruiter, E. Mahoney, M.

Lind, with the concur- rence of the officers; it marks bur an initial step in our Catholic Action projects. This bureau has selected for its topic The Place of the Catholic in Modern Tunes. Each member elaborates and explains in serious and scholarly talks the important and outstanding work achieved by our noteworthy Catholic laity. The Bureau addressed the Regis Sodality on March 8 and the Mount Saint Joseph Academy on March 22. After Easter the local sodalities had the pleasure of hearing our well-informed bureau, con- sisting of Rosemary C. Burke, New Rochelle, New York; and Cecilia A.

Cahill, ' 40 T reasurer The Riding Club, as an active organization, was inaugurated this year, with the election of officers in September. Members were num- erous and were divided into two classes: the beginners’ group and the advanced group. Both companies rode in the outside rings during the fall and in the indoor ring in the winter. In spring, they were permit- ted to use the bridle paths which had been damaged by the hurricane in October. Much time was spent in preparing for the annual Horse Show, which took place in June. The riders prepared for the drills and demonstra- tions — an integral part of every show. They also acquired the know- ledge of various equestrian games, which were featured at the June exhibition. Prominent among these were the egg and spoon race, musical chairs, and “tag.” The aim of the Club has been not only pleasant relaxation but also capable and intelligent riding. Members learned the various parts and uses of the bridle and saddle, efficient control of their mounts, and professional ring technique. M. McManus, M. Landers, J. Byrne, M. Cahill [ 138 ] ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Under the enthusiastic leadership of Betty Cunniff and Marian Mal- oon, President and Tce-President of the Association, a successful sports program was completed. The traditional interclass basketball competition was one of the sports features of the year. Senior members were presented with the basketball trophy, making them four-year champions. On the success- ful team were: Margaret Murphy, Margaret Hagen, Betty Cunniff, Cecilia O ' Farrell, Sally Bosketti, and Marian Maloon. A Sicirnming A eet, held on March 27, was won by the Senior Class. Mary Guthrie, ' 40, captured first prize for individual honors. The annual Physical Education Exhibition was given by the Fresh- man and Sophomore classes on March 30. Danish gymnastics, folk dances, and natural dancing were among the features of the evening. Ping-pong, badminton, and tennis tournaments were played in the spring. In May, the annual banquet was held at which the “A. A.” prizes and awards were distributed. During Senior Week the Horse Show was held on the College grounds as a fitting close to a most successful year. OFFICERS Elizabeth J. Cunniff, ' 39 Pre.udent Marian G.

M O IT X T R E P I S DOCUMEXTAR Y EVIDENCES 1 9 3 9 [ 142 ] Pastor Angelicus T ogether with a prayer for the repose of the soul of that great man of God, Pope Pius XI, there rose heavenward, an impassioned imploring prayer, that a man of indomitable will, extraordinary ability, and an ardent but humble love of God, be elected to the Chair of Peter. Not so hoped the dictators of the day, who disguised their selhsh avarice but poorly, in professing the desire that a “religious pope’’ be elected. They wanted a man who would interfere in no way with their pre- tensions, one who would confine himself to matters of a spiritual nature —forgetful that it is his deep interest in the spiritual welfare of his flock that leads the Shepherd of Christendom to oppose their plans. Fully realizing their great responsibility, the members of the College of Cardinals met in solemn and secret conclave to choose the two hundred and sixty-second suc- cessor of Saint Peter. In the late afternoon of the first day, a thin column of white smoke rose from a chimney of the Vatican Palace — the sign that a Pope had been elected. A cloud of black smoke followed immediately, leaving a great doubt in the minds of the thousands of watchers in Saint Peter’s Square. W as he really elected or not? Eagerly they waited for an additional sign. Whld cheering greeted Camillo Cardinal Caccia Dominion!, Dean of the College of Deacons, when he appeared on the balcony of Saint Peter’s and announced: Hahemus Papam. W’e have a Pope. The most eminent and most revered Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli has taken the name of Pius XII.’’ In the gathering dusk of the day, on that same balcony above the square, a white- clad figure appeared. To his children kneeling there before him, and over the radio to all the peoples of the world. Pope Pius XII gave his first blessing as their Supreme Pontiff. Casting aside tradition, a Papal Secretary of State was made Spiritual Ruler of the W’orld. His election was a recognition of his extraordinary fitness for the Holy Office. Because of his intellectual and linguistic accomplishments, his intimate knowledge of the affairs of the day, his close association with the policies and activities of the revered Pius XI, Cardinal Pacelli was singled out from among his associates. But more than all this, as Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen has said, “It was the man!’’ This first of native Roman Popes for more than two hundred years was recognized as a humble and faithful servant of God. In the election of Pope Pius XII, God has given to His Church a leader whose life was a training for the supreme duties he must now assume. Our Holy Father was born on March 2, 1876, in Rome. His family has for several generations been active in the affairs of the ’atican. At the age of eighteen, having completed his courses in the Classical Secondary School, he chose to spend the rest of his life as a priest of God. Accordingly he en- tered the Almo Collegio Capricano in Rome. He had been there about a year when ill health forced him to leave. Determined to carry out his plans, he became a day student [143] in the Pontifical University of the Roman Seminary. In March of 1899 he was or- dained. Our Sovereign Pontiff’s first Mass was celebrated at the tomb of Saint Philip Neri in the Church of Santa Maria, allicelli. Recognizing the extraordinary ability of the young priest, his superiors decided to place him in the diplomatic service of the Church. Father Pacelli was, therefore, named substitute Professor of Law in the Roman Seminary. At the same time heserved as an apprentice in the Papal Secretariat. Soon he was made a member of the Congre- gation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs. Here he advanced rapidly until he was appointed its head by Pope Benedict X . Not many months passed before Pope Benedict made him a Bishop. Immediately, our Holv Pather was sent as Apostolic Nuncio to Bavaria. In the same year, 1917, he was consecrated Archbishop. Those were the days when Europe was held fast in the grip of the great war. In an effort to bring the futile struggle to an end, the Pope put before the warring coun- tries a plan by which he hoped to effect permanent peace. It was Archbishop Pacelli who was chosen to present this plan to the Germans. During the trying days of the German revolution. Archbishop Pacelli carried on his work in Munich in the face of great difhculties and dangers. In re-organized Ger- many, he became the first Apostolic Nuncio to Berlin. Not the least important accom- plishment of his fruitful years there, was the development of improved relations be- tween the Gtican and the Weimar Republic. Because of the success which crowned his efforts in fulfilling the duties of his difficult mission in Germany, the humble Archbishop was chosen to become a member of the College of Cardinals. This was contrary to all his desires. His choice would have been missionary work or the simple duties of a parish priest. In spite of his humility, Rome, recognizing the value of His Holiness, created him a Cardinal in December, 1929. It was not long after this that the aging Cardinal Gasparri, unable to continue his duties, was forced to resign as Papal Secretary of State. Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli was appointed as his successor — a position which he held until his election to the Papacy. On several occasions Cardinal Pacelli was sent as Papal Legate to various parts of the world. In 1934 he represented Pope Pius XI at the International Congress at Buenos Aires. During his stay in South America he made an extensive tour of that continent. The following year he attended the ceremonies at Lourdes, commemorating the nineteenth centenary of the Redemption. In 1936 he was elected Cardinal Camerlengo. It is this year also that marks his visit to our beloved United States. Choosing to travel by air, he was able to visit many parts of the country. His Holiness met the four American Cardinals and a number of the American Bishops. He is the first Pope ever to visit America. Through these travels, the former Cardinal Pacelli came to know the affairs and needs of the Church, throughout the world, more intimately than would otherwise he possible. Cardinal Pacelli, the man, ceased to exist when he accepted the burden of the Papacy. He belongs no longer to himself, even in part, but to Christ and to all men. His worldly success has not disturbed his deep humility and simplicity of heart. He considers as nothing to his credit, his ability to speak Italian, Latin, German, French, [144] Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Above all else is our Sovereign Pontiff a man of prayer! On March 12, 1939, obedient to the voice of Christ, before the thousands in Saint Peter’s Square, our Holy Father was crowned Father of Princes and Kings, Rector of the Universe. No little disappointment, chagrin, and even dismay must have been the part of the dictators when they realized that indeed they had “a religious Pope.” Pope Pius XII is a deeply religious man. But he is also a man of spirit, of courage and fear- lessness, even in the face of bitterest opposition; a man who knows intimately the in- tricate politics of his day; who was most closely associated with the proceedings of the late Holy Father; and, who is undeniably able to continue his work. In the election of Pope Pius XII is reflected the unity of the Catholic Church. It shows how determined she is to carry on her warfare against totalitarianism and anti- religious forces. The way before the new V ' icar of Christ is not over-clear, nor is it easy. In his own Italy, disagreement is rapidly widening the chasm between the Papacy and the govern- ment. Germany has a ruthless persecution of Jews and the less well-known persecution of the Catholics. In Russia for the past two decades Communism has sought to wipe out every vestige of God from the minds and hearts of a religion-loving people. Spain has been ravaged by a war whose major issue was a question of religion. Should Christ or Communism prevail? In Mexico, Communism again rears its ugly head. There it has dealt deathblows to religion and to the principles of Christian life. The world before His Holiness is torn by political, social, economic, but above all, religious strife. It is a world full of those who would make themselves authorities and yet it is singularly without authority. There is but one voice which can be heard above the tumult — one voice to which all must listen, willingly or unwillingly as the case may be. It is the Voice of our Holy Father raised in defense of Christian ideals, in defense of the brotherhood of man, in defense of the principles of Jesus Christ. Pope Pius XII has clearly indicated that his policy will be a continuation of that adopted by his saintly predecessor, to whose sorrows and unfinished tasks he succeeds. Our Sovereign Pontiff will find it necessary to grip with apparently insurmountable obstacles; to see his demands for justice and charity lightly cast aside; to see his careful plans for peace destroyed. This is a tremendous task for any man; but Pope Pius XII has Christ to guide him on his way. It is with the utmost confidence in God, Whose choicest blessings will fall in abundance on the Shepherd of His Flock, that the peoples of the world look with hopeful eyes toward Rome. Dorothy M. Pearce [ 145 ] ope XI [ 146 ] Fides Intrepida A S the New Year still trembled on the threshold of another “arch of time,’’ something definitely happened. Time stood still — and for the interval of a few days, the world was hushed. Storming powers held their breath, am- bitious rulers bowed their proud heads and in silence paid tribute to the passing of one of the greatest men of our age — Pope Pius XI. In a Christendom troubled by social, economical, and political unrest, there stands forth a reminder of the power which unity contains. The two hundred and sixty-hrst Pontiff of Rome, in an infallible and uninterrupted succession, from the first Vicar of Christ on earth, had guided the spiritual life of a united body which once included the whole of the known western world — a unity which many men hope and pray may some day be restored and thus bring about the blessings of world order. There can no longer be any doubt that Pius XI was the director of the spiritual life for the entire world. Officially, Pope Pius was Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, and Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church. But the late lamented Holy Father translated the title “Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church” into a reality. More than other Popes who preceded him, Pius XI extended his influence well beyond his own spiritual children. His ideas affected people of all religious beliefs. The world harkened to his voice. The entire world was intensely interested in what Pope Pius XI had to say — “Beyond the Tiber gleams a dome Above the hilltops seven; It arches o’er the world from Rome And leads the world to Heaven.” He was the Chief Shepherd of all the people. “He was the world’s outstanding hgure enunciating principles — while racial, idealogical, and political opportunists invented catchwords and phrases to win the people to their own selfish ends.” In the sincerity of the tribute to Pope Pius, in the silence which seemed to enshroud the earth on the day of his death, the world newly attests that old ideas still prevail. It is an age when ruthless men appear to win through the strategic use of force. Yet again the universal mourning for Christendom’s Shepherd seems to say that in our hearts there is a nos- talgia for the things Pope Pius signified and defended. Simple, hard-working, gentle, learned, saintly, broad of vision, energetic of achievement. Pope Pius had an eye for all the world and a heart for all mankind. He was, indeed, an outstanding leader. Achille Ratti, Pope Pius XI, was by birth an Austrian — Desio, his birthplace, being ten miles from Milan in Lombardy. At the time of his birth, 1859, Lombardy had not yet been freed from the Austrian Empire by Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi. [147] Our late Holy Father was horn in a three-room apartment. He was the fourth son in a family that knew poverty, hrst as peasants of the soil, and then of the new machine age. A remarkable record at school won him a place in the Lombard Seminary in Rome. At the age of twenty-two, Achille Ratti celebrated his first Mass as a priest of God. From the day of his ordination, he seemed destined for obscurity; he was a modest assistant in a parish. Later he was sent as librarian to the great Ambrosian Library of Milan. Although as a young priest he had considerable parochial experience, for the greater portion of his ecclesiastical life, he was well known only to the world of science and literature and lived in an atmosphere of libraries. Whth a view to writing the history of the Church of Milan, while at the Ambrosian Library, he made an intensive studv of the life of Saint Charles, which seemed to have profoundly in- fluenced his outlook and the conduct of his future actions. Such influence is plainly dis- cernible in his work as nuncio to W ' arsaw. This appointment was made in recognition of his valuable services performed while Apostolic visitor to Poland during a critical period of the W ' orld War. For the Holy Father saw that the problems of his own day were largely logical outgrowths of the religious revolt of the sixteenth century, which Saint Charles sought to counter and that the remedies were the same as those that the saint indicated in his work for the Council of Trent. While at the Ambrosian Library, the future Sovereign Pontiff became intimately acquainted with the methods of the man who gave expression to the counter-reform and who was in his own person the living antidote for the errors of his age. Succeeding Cardinal Ferrari, he was elected to the Cardinalate in 1921 as Arch- bishop of Milan; and upon the death of Pope Benedict X , Cardinal Ratti was elected Pope, February 6, 1922. It is interesting to note that Pope Pius XI was not the first choice of the College of Cardinals in 1922. After the death of Pope Benedict, the Cardinals met; and Cardinal Laurenti received the two-thirds vote necessary for elec- tion. He declined the high honor saying, “It is my desire that this exalted office be given to another who is stronger and better able to carry the heavy burden.” Achille Ratti was chosen. Our late Holy Father selected the name Pius XI, because he said, “I was born under a Pius, I came to Rome under a Pius; and Pius is the name of peace — hence I choose to make it mine.’’ His Pontificate was one of the most active of all times. Had he accomplished but one of the outstanding achievements for which his reign is noted, it would be suf- ficient to make his occupancy of the Chair of Peter distinguished in the history of even so commanding a force as the papacy. Taken together these works constitute a reign, the brilliancy of which will undoubtedly place it in the forefront of historical ac- counts of the period. Pope Pius XI ascended the Throne of Peter at one of the gravest crises in the history of the world. Shortly after the W’orld W’ar, which ostensibly was waged “to make the world safe for democracy,” it seemed as if the gains for human liberty, which had been made during the twenty centuries of Christianity, were to be en- gulfed in an orgy of pagan license and persecution. In Russia, later in Mexico, Ger- many, and Spain, the very fundamental rights were attacked, churches were closed, clergy of all religions were exiled or put to death, the very foundations of liberty — [148] man’s civic rights — were suppressed. Under a disguise of economics and social reform, all rights were denied . In his two encyclicals, On the Reconstruction of the Social Order and Atheistic Commun- ism, our late, beloved Holy Father, in the name of the Catholic Church, offered the support of the Church in the battle against Communistic paganism and Communistic tyranny. Because of his ardent support of the cause of the workingman, he may he placed in the foremost ranks of social reformers. Pope Pius XI insisted that all workers be paid a living wage and he called upon all classes of people to live and work in peace. In an audience with a delegation of workingmen of many nations, a few days before the publication of his encyclical On the Reconstruction of the Social Order, the late Pope Pius summed up in three words the meaning of his encyclical. He said : Here are the words: prayer, action, sacrihce. Prayer is the most essential condition for all, then action action of charity and of justice, and of the peace of Christ among the classes, the peoples. It may he said that in all his encyclicals. Pope Pius XI kept these three spiritual forces — prayer, action, sacrihce — always in the foreground of his work. Essentially a man of action, and equally a man of his times, Pius XI of happy memorv, from the very outset of his pontihcate, sought in a revitalized energetic laity the antidote for a degenerated and degenerating society. Catholic Action was his incessant word of command issued to the peoples of the world. Constantly he referred to Catholic Action as the very pupil of his eye.” Youth and maturity, worker and in- tellectual, peasants and aristocrats, men and women of every race and nation — each had a place and part in the apostolate of the laity. Tirelessly, our late, beloved Holy Father dehned, instructed, planned, and appointed. In one of his latest protests against those who profess respect for the integrity of the Church, hut at the same time denounce the organization of Catholic Action, he declared such a distinction to he im- possible, for Catholic Action is the Church.” While he was one of the greatest of all popes for his learning, his courage, his diplomacy, his apostolic zeal, his tolerance, and his concern for the downtrodden, he was even greater for his revolutionary restor- ation to the laity of a consciousness of its high office and responsibilities. Pope Pius’ earnest pleas for Catholic Action were but a summons to the Catholic lavman and laywoman to appreciate anew their dignity and responsibility as members of the Mystical Body of Christ and in the words of Saint Peter, living stones, built upon a spiritual house, a holy priesthood.” Thus, in the minds of many our late Holy Father will be remembered as the Ro e of Catholic Action. There are many who say that Pius XI will go down to posterity as the Pope of the Missions. Our late Pontiff has aptly deserved this title. His zeal and desire to bring to every nation and every people the light of Christianity has been shown in his many utterances on the Catholic Missions as well as by his personal activity in various phases of evangelization work. In his encyclical letter. Rerum Ecclesiae, our Holy Father of happy memory stressed the prime importance and necessity of the foreign missions. To promote the work of the missions and to offset the obstacles raised by nationalists and imperialists, a native clergy was created and in 1926 six Chinese Bishops were consecrated by His Holiness. The supreme feat that will make the late Pope’s reign a landmark in history is [ 149 I rhe solution of the Question. Until 1870 , the Holy See had been the independent ruler of Rome and of territory adjacent to Rome. In the unification of Italy, the Italian government seized Rome, as the Italian national sentiment demanded. There was real- ly a collision of two defensible causes: the need of the Holy See for territory within which it could be independent so as to maintain its character of universality; and, on the other hand, the desire of Italians that the whole nation be one. However, a theft had been committed with the seizure of papal lands by the Italian government. For two generations after the seizure, the papacy insisted on keeping its rightful protest and the Pope became known as the Prisoner of the Vatican. Pope Pius, from the outset of his reign, was determined to heal the heart-breaking impasse between Catholic Italy and the Vatican. In 1929, Italy, under Benito Mussolini, entered into a concordat and treaty with the Church. Facing the realities, the Holy Father bridged the gap between a Catholic nation and the head of the Church. Pope Pius XI showed high statesmanship in being willing to accept a compromise, which safeguarded sacred rights and principles, despite the fact that only about one-third of the land which had originally been confiscated was returned. By the treaty, the conflicting claims to the temporal sov- ereignty of the Papal states were settled. The Vatican state was established and, with- in its territory, the Holy See possesses full property rights, exercises exclusive and absolute jurisdiction. Thus, after sixty years, a settlement of the Poman Question was arrived at under the guidance of an illustrious and diplomatic Pope. This outstanding Pontiff was the most modern Pope in history. He modernized the ancient Vatican, calling to the aid of religion, the great new marvels of science and among other things enabled the world for the first time to hear the voice of the hcar of Christ by radio. Perhaps, no other title better characterizes Pope Pius XI than that found in what IS known as Saint Malachy’s Prophecy, wherein the expression used to designate the successor of Pope Benedict was Pides Intrepida — dauntless faith. His faith was in- trepid. He bore with heroic fortitude the machinations of the atheists in Russia in their attempt to destroy the Mystical Body of Christ. Undaunted, he used his power against the government in Mexico which repudiated the Catholic Church. When an attempt was made by the royalist Catholics in France to force all Catholics to adhere to their political beliefs, he bravely condemned their organization, “L’ Action Fran- 5ais.” Public opinion did not deter him from upholding the side of religion when civil war broke out in Spain. Dictators could cause their regimented citizens to shudder, but they could not dominate the white-clad figure in the Vatican. Pope Pius XI re- fused to keep silent — the intrepidity of a former mountain-climber characterized every action of his Pontificate, even to his courageous struggle with death. In the long list of the successors of Saint Peter, “his name shines like an illumination of an ancient missal, in the illustrious company of the first Leo, Gregory the Great, and Hilde- brand.’’ M. Eleanor O’Hare [ 150 ] The Catholic College Woman, A Social Apostle G oing therefore, teach ye all nations whatsoever I have commanded thee.” These words might appropriately serve as concluding remarks of every ad- dress to graduates, spoken throughout the country at the myriads of Catholic colleges and universities. But why is it, then, that the great minds which compose and deliver these orations do not conclude their learned talks with this time-old command? Why instead do they raise their hands and hearts in sincere benediction over the bowed heads of the zealous youths before them? With a moment’s thought these two questions are easily answered by a member of a Catholic college or even a fellow-worshipper of the Catholic religion. He will explain that there is no need for the speaker’s giving that eloquent command since the entire four years of a Catholic college student’s career have been moulded around that one great idea, that one great precept — teaching by the written or spoken word or example. From his day of registration to the triumphant Commencement exercises, the Catholic college man or woman has been taught Catholic Action in a practical way, which, after all, is the modern way of carrying our that desire which Our Saviour expressed to us through the medium of His Apostles so many hundreds of years ago. And knowing the answer to the first question, the second response follows logically. The benediction which the graduates receive is a necessary and helpful prologue to the struggle upon which these young people are about to enter. Today when the “isms” are so prevalent, influential, and evil, so ready to pounce on anything or anybody acting contradictory to their paganism, today of all days, there is a great need for strengthening factors. To the Catholic what could be more helpful than God’s bless- ing, called down upon him by one of God’s more favored sons? Let us concentrate however, on the Catholic college women who are receiving this great blessing. Some may question, “Why the women? After all, the men are going to play the greater part in this game of worldly life.” True; but, there is also an expres- sion to the effect that women rule the world. This, too, maybe exaggerated, but certain it is that in the small and delicate hands of a woman lie the complexities of most of the world’s problems. The alleviation of much of the world’s trouble could be effected by the combined efforts of good Catholic women — or, for that matter, good women of any denomination, — women desiring truth, justice, sanity, and purity. Every Catho- lic woman graduated from a Carbolic institution of learning is cognizant of this fact. She appreciates her power for good on this earth; she realizes that, in every walk of life to which her steps may be directed, there is ample opportunity for her to exercise her influence, be it great or small. [ 151 ] ‘‘‘ ' In Thy Will Is Peace” [ 152 ] And how is this to be accomplished? Can the mother of three small children leave them unprotected in order that she hasten to a radical meeting to uphold her Faith and her country? Shall the social worker offer material assistance with one hand, while with the other she extracts leaflets on The Evils of the Returning Paganism from her full provision basket? Must all Catholic women writers cease producing charming novels, enjoyable short stories, and inspiring poetry and direct their efforts entirely to decry- ing Fascism and proving the nonsense of Atheism? Shall the professional and the busi- ness women use their wards and their offices as auditoriums for declamatory speech- making? Are there still people in this universe of ours simple and gullible enough to believe that the answer to all these vain questions is “Yes”? If so, for them this dis- cussion is presented. Today Catholic Action can be carried on just as successfullv by singing lullabies in the home as by declaiming before a speaker’s rostrum. The young wife can teach, to all who wish to recognize it, her lesson of anti-birth control by her moderately in- creasing family. By following the right of the Catholic, she is intuitively proving the wrong of the Communist. Her phase of Catholic Action lies mainly in the procreating and educating of her children. One of her strongest aids in this work is her frequent re- ception of Holy Communion. What could be more helpful in her responsible task than partaking of the Mystical Body of Christ? Where could she find a firmer assurance of success in her great undertaking? Her frequent and fervent participation in the myster- ies of her Faith is an ideal example for her young ones. What could be of more assist- ance to her when she must guide her children to the best Christian and Catholic solu- tion of their problems? The mother, then, combats the evils of this world with a weapon the promoters of evil cannot conquer. She battles against them with the love of God in her heart, the truth and purity inspired by God in her soul, and good example, the sword of God, in her hand. Perhaps, the social worker has the greatest opportunity of all to be an apostle of the Faith, since her work necessarily consists of helping less fortunate members of mankind. But the idea of her arriving on the scene of a case with propaganda pam- phlets in her hand is absurd. All missionaries know that the way to win a lost soul to the Faith is by assisting him materially and physically first. Thence the missioner turns to the unbeliever’s intellect and finally leads him to an understanding and love of his Creator and Redeemer. The social worker uses practically the same methods but in an inconspicuous way. She is in truth a missioner; she can combat the evils of Com- munism which state the lack of a living wage, those of Naziism which deny the per- sonal rights of the Christian, those of Atheism which teach there is no necessity for continuing to live if this life is not offering to him the very best it has. The social worker can fight these forces simply by doing her duty, by bringing aid and work to those who are discouraged with their destiny in life, in rendering medical assistance to those whose sick bodies are beginning to infect their suffering souls, by always carrying a word of comfort with her. Every Catholic writer or speaker has a tremendous field for apostolic work before her. The faculties which God has given so graciously to her can be put to excellent use. She not only has the opportunity to express her correct views on the current good and evil hut she also possesses the means of remedying them. As this type of apostle has such a command of the present-day problems and their influence on the Catholic, she is, without a doubt, a leader as well as shepherd of souls. Her books, whether they be thin volumes of lovely poetry praising God’s handiwork or interesting novels con- cerning the actions of an Oxford student or masterly essays on the rights of man, all will be read with enthusiasm by those younger and less-experienced but equally as desirous of working daily for Christ, as they follow their ordinary course of action. The social apostle will he imprinting on their minds the Catholic ideals which are based on the thing which the ‘‘isms” are trying so earnestly — but unsuccessfully — to eradicate from the hearts of man, the thing by and for and in which he lives — God ' s law. In controversial work this young lady can “teach all nations.” She can prove time and again wherein the fool who works against God will never win the race of eternal life. But her influence will never be fully recognized here so seriously except bv her own followers, since those in the opposition rarely admit the slightest verity in their rivals’ arguments. Undoubtedly, the teacher has lying within her the greatest power for good in these hectic, radical days through which we are living. Since she has under her care the undeveloped intellects of human souls, her field for Catholic Action is replete with most productive soil. Without ever uttering the Sacred Name or mentioning the word Catholic, It is within the teacher’s command and right and duty to impregnate into every lesson she plans, Christian ideals and Catholic principles. Professional women can be equally useful in the ranks of Christocrats. Nurses have often been instruments of deathbed conversions; and though this particular type of action is not solving the horrors of the world, it is giving souls to God, which, in the last analysis, is the reason why we are struggling to eliminate these swarms of plague-like falsities, born into the world every minute. Feminine lawyers are becoming more prominent today and, in this walk of life which should emphasize justice, an intelligent Catholic woman can do a great deal to prevent this country from falling a prey to the devastating powers which have in- sidiously crept into the overwhelmed Russia, Germany, and Spain. Though business women in general have less power over the wage situation, capitalism, and economics, they should conscientiously plan, with the greatest consideration and study, the role to which they are assigned. The seriousness of these matters must be so thoroughly impressed upon their minds that no economic disaster will result from any action which they may have undertaken. Few of us are fortunate enough to be truly talented, but there are just as many Catholics who have been given this blessing as well as members of other creeds. Talent is not denominational. It is the obligation of these Catholic women, therefore, to do all in their power to return art to its former high standard of Christianity. We realize that God meant the world to be beautiful. The modern painters and sculptors are doing their utmost to make this impossible. It devolves upon the Catholic to paint so beautifully that the obscene waste of canvas, which is so prevalent today, will be shamed into retirement. Surely, nowhere but in the Catholic Church can be found such models upon which to work — Christ and our Blessed Mother, Who in- spired the wonderful artistic masterpieces of all time — the cathedrals, the Madonnas, [ 154 ] the frescoes, the vestments, and Mozart’s great Masses. Here, too, is Catholic Action, apostolic work, as simple as this — accomplishing with God-given talents what one enjoys most. It is evident, therefore, that in the daily working-life of every Catholic college graduate, she can perpetuate the great mission for which Christ chose His twelve Apostles. And how shall the college graduate use her social life, her recreation periods, her hours of leisure? Here, too, a Christocrat may carry her glorious emblem into the midst of activities. Today study clubs are very popular, especially among intelligent women. The topics on which these clubs concentrate vary — books, history, poetry, science, religion, painting, music — but into each the Catholic may bring much to advance the cause of Our Lord. It is her duty to discover — if she does not already know — the Cath- olic viewpoint on every phase of the subject considered and to prove it to her associ- ates. She must be active and vitally interested. The Catholic leader must learn to ex- press herself clearly — she must desire to prove wherein Catholic philosophy has stood the test of the ages. And in civic meetings, here, loo, she must be a leader — not merely “toward an earthly goal,” hut more important toward an eternal one for her fellow citizens and for herself. Her ballot must be cast for the honest, upright, God-loving, and God- following candidate. For if it is not, then the thief, the cut-throat, the supernatural murderer gets into power and countless souls are irretrievably endangered. If the Catholic college graduate should turn her footsteps into the path of politics, her position is doubly responsible in these days when the word “politics” goes hand in hand with the heinous word ' ' graft. “The Catholic politician must stand for Right in the Catholic Way — as must all other Catholics, whatever their occupations. We see, then, that every woman who is graduated from a Catholic college this June, regardless of her future vocation, has the blessed opportunity of being a social apostle throughout her life. The keynote of this apostolate is example. May there never be a Judas among these younger apostles! Charlotte M. Ruiter [ 155 ] Senior Class History FRESHMAN YEAR F ond as I am of mystery stories, my sensibilities have been heightened, so I was not particularly surprised one evening on becoming aware of a ghostly presence in my room. “Good evening, sir,’’ I welcomed him. “Have you been murdered?” (My reading naturally led me to suspect foul play.) The ghost laughed in a tone which I disapproved as entirely too hearty and not at all the sepulchral cough which the etiquette of such appearances seemed to me to require. “No, indeed, though you might say I am in immediate danger of disintegrating. I am the Spirit of ’39, evoked by the memo- ries Regis has written in that book on your desk,” and he pointed to a bulging scrap- book, straining its binding with impa- tience to be opened. Still somewhat disappointed that my visitor was neither miscreant nor mur- dered, I debated within myself the pro- priety of asking him to be seated, when he settled the question by draping his unsub- stantial self in an easy chair beside me, with every suggestion of staying a long while. “Now, let’s take a look at the record,” he said, after the manner of a politician; and together we turned the pages of my scrapbook. That marks my birthday,” commented the Spirit of ’39, as we opened to the la- conic postcard informing Freshmen of the penalty for not registering on September 18, 1935 — as if Freshmen needed it, they who should rather be restrained from pack- ing in August. “What did you notice lirst about us?” I asked. “W ' ell, Margaret Landers caught my eye, in a bright green dress, with the color belying the amount of bustle she put into It all; and, of course, I shall never forger your faces as you were measured for the College frock.” “Yes, we were the last class to go through that. It was a fact that the fitter added two inches to each of our known measurements — which amazed us.” “Do you recall the introduction to the student assemblies the next day,” mused my visitor, “and the bewildering task of reading the program of classes?” “That was the night,” I recalled, “that Rosemary Burke dined on a lettuce leaf, with the declaration that she certainly didn’t intend to gain weight her first year. I wonder if she ever thought of her good intentions when, with the rest of us, regular hours began to do their deadly work?” “All I know,” said my gusty guest, “is that by Christmas half the class was on a diet, with Bunny Nadeau holding the record for will power. But, what’s that sticking out of the book? You didn’t wear a bib. Baby Dear, over the College frock, did you?” [ 158 ] “For a week we did. Don’t you remem- ber our initiation when ' 39 paraded com- plete with name hands, rouged noses, clothes inside out, and overshoes, plus an innocent and unselfconscious manner? Un- prejudiced bystanders always claim ive initiated the Sophomores. We sang, re- cited, and enjoyed the whole thing, es- pecially the last night with Marian Mal- oon’s heavy imitation of a light adagio dance.” “That was good, but about the singing — it seems to me every other girl in the class is slightly tone deaf. Thank heaven for Peggy Foley, Dot Pearce, and Dottie Murray; bur even your talent was different in the Regis manner, with Peggy as direc- tor of the Orchestra from her Freshman year. And who could slap that bass like Cid O’ Farrell or play the trombone like Miriam Donovan?” “Speaking of music,” said I, “here’s the program of an entertainment we gave our Junior sisters — music, melodrama, and mirth, with ’39 at its best.” “I wouldn’t say that,” remonstrated my visitor. “Some of your best performances were impromptu, like Kay Smiddy’s reci- tations in history.” “Just the same, we took our classes seriously,” I added. “When we were told, in English, that a real student would send hundreds of miles for the right book, the postman was over-laden with parcels from Bangor, Maine. It was in the Parliamen- tary Law Class that we elected Barbara Sullivan, Class President, on a West Point platform of cadet news for all class mem- bers, with Anne Laffin, Betty Hussey, and Terry Corbett to keep up the Class stand- ard of beauty and brains.” “Look at all this,” I continued, as I pulled out the old red Students ' Guide Book, bridge tallies, blue library slips, movie stubs, and written directions on finding one’s way into Boston by six different routes and methods.” “Just part of an old, old story,” said the ghost. “Every class has such a collection. But they all can’t boast of winning the gym exhibit, as ’39 did — thanks to the back-breaking precision of Danish exer- cises and the stress and strain of the Tum- blers’ Club.” “Here’s a program of the Science Exhi- bition, 1935-36, into which there went enough worry to last all Europe through one of Hitler’s week-ends. We covered the field of science from realistic etching and breakable aquariums to plumbing and ob- servations on the frog. It was fortunately followed by Retreat and Father McGrory’s drawling Southern accent was a welcome substitute for poster and project talk.” My other-world visitor did not seem to care for this talk of science; perhaps he did not wish to be investigated. There was so much more to discuss; the reading contest won by Mary Lind, the Commencement play, with practically the entire Freshman class as the dazed villagers in the Pied Piper of Hamelin and a few favored ones cast as rats (their names now withheld). Yet, I suggested politely; “Shall we call it a night?” “Might as well,” he said, and, uncere- moniously slipping through a crack in the door, called back, “See you soon.” [ 159 ] SOPHOMORE YEAR The following night, study hour had scarcely begun, when, to my horror, in- stead of my friendly ghost, there con- fronted me a weird figure, draped toga-like in a sheet with a cotton-hatting heard dangling from a misty chin. To my relief the same cheerful voice bellowed a greet- ing: “Are you surprised? Thought I’d wear this outfit cast off hv one of the Fresh- men vou initiated. W ' e were going to talk about ' 39 ' s second year at Regis, weren’t we?’ ’ “Well, you needn’t he too realistic,” I replied somewhat sharply, as one who has had enough of a good thing. Then, soften- ing, “Here’s something which was very important in that initiation.” “W hat’s this?” he rumbled. “It reads like a grocery list: flour, chalk, liver, cod- liver oil, corn flakes. Oh, I remember — preparations for the treatment on each land- ing as they descended blindfolded to the gym. W’ill you ever forget the job of clean- ing up that staircase afterwards?” “Hardly,” I replied grimly, every bone responding to the memory. “Now, can you guess who inspired these lines, written after our first summer vacation? Thou hypocrite, thou cheat. Of deception awful scion - ’Tis Pal in his summer haircut, A lamb in the coat of a lion! You know. I’m sorry that 1 haven’t any souvenirs of the Mothers’ Bridge, except, of course, the names of the chairmen: Marie McCabe, Mary O’Donoghue, Mar- garet Landers, and Charlotte Ruiter. That was when the Class Officers: Mary Car- roll, Dorothy Pearce, Cecilia O’Farrell, and Margaret Murphy discovered paper plates were not suitable in the setting of Regis Hall — so very calmly and very much sub rosa proceeded to use the Tea Room’s best glassware.” The ghost chuckled then, and said: “W’asn’t It the next week that ’39 enter- tained the College in an unaccustomed manner, with the Five Monotones capita- lizing on ability they didn’t have, and the Lawrence Sisters laughing harder than the audience over their own attempts, and Vir- ginia Broderick making her debut with a ukulele? Our other transfer, Mary Gilbane, made her bow even more spectacularly, when her limb was, shall we say, put out of joint in the dining room. Picture Mary’s writhing on the floor, addressing her knee in terms, to say the least, reproachful.” “Oh, I recall those days,” said the ghost. ’’Rosemary Burke was thinking of becoming a coed at Holy Cross and Elinor Rvan received the title Speed. W ' hat’s that brown paper bag doing in your scrap- book?” asked my inquisitive guest. “That,” I replied indignantly, “is the head of our class mascot, W ' ar Admiral. He was a beautiful trotter; one end, Anne Burke, the other, Ruth Ford — which was which I really couldn’t say. He was a good mascot too; we won the gym meet again, were undisputed basketball champions — as for four years — and we simply shone [ 160 ] with letters and trophies at the A. A. ban- quet farewell to Miss McCafferty.” “Too had you couldn’t cut a hit of tire or steering wheel from that imposing omnibus, labelled REGIS COLLEGE, as a reminder of all the trips to Riverside and the other side, to swimming meets, and sodality conventions.” “Do you know,” continued the ghost, “after the Retreat with Father LeBuffe, when you went home for Easter, I was certain that I saw haloes about your heads — of course, I am somewhat near- sighted and it might have been the new spring hats.” Of the last events in that year I did not speak — our pride as members of the Daisy Chain, in spite of the pebbles which pun- ished our stockinged feet; the reception to our Senior sisters which inaugurated a Regis tradition; and that last sad Com- munion breakfast. A real regret character- ized that parting. Yet suddenly I grinned and I found the ghost looking at me with intuitive understanding. I knew he, too, was thinking of the Senior Spread — of the tables set beneath threatening clouds, then the deluge — and two hours later, rolls with the characteristics of sponges, diluted fruit salad, limp white suits, and be- draggled hair. On this happy note, my friend again took leave, this time drifting out the window. ' JUNIOR YEAR As I gathered up the material from my scrapbook, out fell the list of Freshmen, as assigned to each Junior; and I marvelled at the wisdom of a system by which you no sooner lost one sister than you gained another. I retired with thoughts of whispered jokes in the Library, of studying in the still of the night before examina- tions, of walks in the woods and to West- on, of the dazed surprise of midnight fire drills, and of trips to the cafeteria and the Tea Room. The third night, my now regular visitor, the Spirit of ' 39, hovered about my shoulder. “Do you know what’s been running through my mind?” he questioned. Olga DeSimone’s English recitation: The stag at eve teas drunk. “That was a classic,” I agreed. “Olga’s remarks were enough to amaze any teach- er; but let’s go back to the beginning of the year with the election of Class Officers: Rosemary Burke, Marg aret Murphy, Cath- erine Smiddy, and Charlotte Rutter. Then, there was our entertainment to the Fresh- men and the Junior Christmas play, Dotvn Fido — practice for which at least kept us from being underfoot while the Seniors were practicing for their play.” “Haven’t you any souvenirs of the new science building, while it was in progress?” asked the Spirit. “No,” I replied regretfully. “I suppose we should have picked up a few splinters or nails, but it really was one of those things you don’t believe until it’s done. In spite of the fact that we followed its progress from our psychology classroom. It wasn’t until the cornerstone was laid that we were convinced.” “What are all those clippings?” in- quired the ever-curious ghost, as I turned a page. “The newspaper accounts of the sym- posium on marriage,” I answered. “See, [ 161 ] there’s Mary Lind ' s picture, having her eyes made up. You know it looks to me as if our professors were determined that no Regis girl should die an old maid.” “W ell, that’s a worthy objective, ” ap- proved my guest. “But I must say your hook is very incomplete. What about sports?” ’’Well, I’ll tell you,” I confided, feeling that here was a person I could trust, ”1 went down to the gym once to try out for basketball and found Margaret Hagen, with the three forwards, Betty Cunniff, Peg Murphy, and Marian Maloon, flipping baskets like coins. With Cid O’Farrell, Dor Pearce, and Peggy Foley, I couldn’t even get near the ball. Then there was hockey and the same ones shone, plus Sallv Bosketti, Mary Lind, Ginger Breen, Isabel Carroll, Pat Griffin, Mary Gilman, and Olga DeSimone. My presence merelv meant a handy target for the ball — in the shins! As for aquatic sports, I admire Peg Murphy’s and Margaret Hagen’s diving and hang onto the side as the swimmers splash by. In riding, we have jo Carey and Margaret Landers, who not only give amazing performances in the most ad- vanced events bur also have quite a tech- nique in egg races — and musical chairs.” I think,” said the Spirit of ’39, ’’that you’re beating around the bush. Come on, what about the Prom and Junior Week?” ”I’ve been waiting for that,” I said complacently, but weren’t vou there?” ”No,” he said, rather embarrassed, ”I was confined at home with a slight chill. I’d been to some hobo party and that rough and ready life doesn’t agree with me.” That’s too bad, ” I purred. Look at this picture of the committee heads: Eli- nore Corbett, so very serious about it all, as Chairman of Junior Week; Margaret Landers, calmly planning the Mothers’ Bridge; Katherine Tracy, who had charge of refreshments, and with her coup in hav- ing an ambassador’s son as escort, was a gteat help to Harriette Carson in publicity. Then there’s Kay Smiddy, giving her cotm-on smile as Class Treasurer, Elinor Ryan, unperturbedly letting patrons come to her; Margaret Hart, looking just plain pained as though the favors had disap- peared; Olga DeSimone, with her decora- tions, The Seven Dwarfs. ”I know the Prom was wonderful,” said the ghost. ”I’ve heard rumors the men were the best looking ever seen in the College, and they had that fresh look from coming in out of the rain. The rest of the year must have been an anticlimax.” ”Oh, no!” I protested. We were mea- sured for the cap and gown a few weeks after. Six Juniors in blue added color to the M ay Procession and the rest of us looked — well — at least as lovely as usual.” ” ' ere you thrilled at the thought that after Commencement you would be Sen- iors?” asked my friend in some excitement. ”No,” I said coldly. ”We didn’t feel that way about it at all. It meant for us the beginning of that long list of lasts which marks a Senior’s progress down the hill and out the poplar drive. Even if we did pick up a few freckles practicing for Class Dav, well, it gave us a head start for the summer.” [ 162 ] “One thing I know,’’ said the Spirit. “I certainly realize the truth of your class 0 the joy of life at Regis As the days go flying by. SENIOR YEAR “Oh, well, to coin a phrase, Te?npus fugtt. I offered brightly, “What do you recall of the beginning of our Senior year?” “To tell the truth,” he replied rather worried, “not a thing. I was coming back a little late — about September 21 — when I was picked up in a big wind and set down in Westerly, Rhode Island.” “The hurricane! Yes, that was quite a blow — at least we had a week out of class and Barbara Sullivan, Betty Boylan, and Anne Early one night in a convent. Our only fear was that it would interfere with our Cap and Gown Day. The ghost watched as I turned a page in my book showing us in our glory, cov- ered with flowers like any race horse that’s run a good race. Suddenly the ghost jumped back from the book which he had been examining: “You’d better watch out,’’ he cried angri- ly. “Someone’s going to be hurt in that mousetrap. Is it yours?” “Oh, no!” I said. “Marian Maloon and Charlotte Ruiter loaned it to me to show you. It’s the one that caught a mouse for them. In some peculiar way, they couldn’t help attracting mice.” “What’s this Eathers’ Night ticket? Oh, I know,” said the ghost wrinkling his brow, “a yearbook benefit with Eather Schulte — ’ ’ He broke off as a piercing bell interrupt- ed the clamor that follows study hour, and waited uncertainly until the lights were out. “Now we can’t see the hook,” he com- plained. “Never mind,” 1 said, “I can tell what’s there easily enough. Besides, the book hasn’t a picture of Kippy Paige with her dogwood poisoning and that was really an event. It was almost enough to frighten the daily constitution walkers. Nor have I anything but a vivid mental picture of the Senior minstrel show — what costumes! The Class Officers, Barbara Sullivan, Mar- garet Murphy, and Catherine Smiddy, playing return engagements, and Anne Sughrue, had their hands full restraining us. The outfits and general energy had their only counterpart in the Senior cheer- ing section at basketball games — A different novelty every game was our motto and not the least part of our success was the originality of the cheers.” “I wanted to ask you,” said the ghost, with a confidential smirk, “how your class got along with Father Daly. I under- stand that he didn’t think there was much life in the class at the beginning of the year.” “Oh,” I said airily, “it was all a matter of training. By Christmas I hardly think he had much doubt about our ability to be lively on occasions.’’ “Christmas at Regis, I think, is the best time in the whole year,” volunteered my friend. “All the formal dinners were pretty, [ 163 ] bur the one ar Christinas was really love- ly. “Yes,” I agreed. “There was only one thing which took off the edge for us. The carol singing seemed such a picturesque custom — midnight, candles, cap and gowns — hut by the end of the route our feet absorbed all our attention. We liter- ally sang until exhausted.” “My own favorite among the activities of the season,” said the Spirit bashfully. “was Margaret Hart in the Christmas play. Not that the rest of the bearded ladies weren’t attractive, but Margaret put something into her lines. . .All adoicn the Kings highicay . . .And., of course, the wav she appeared among the audience was most startling.” “I certainly agree with you. You know it was about that time that hrginia Brod- erick discovered Ferdinand the Bull. She had quite a hectic time for a while, when she added to this interest the fad for long hair ribbons, flowing beneath her cap.” “There wasn’t much excitement be- tween Christmas and Easter,” commented the Spirit of ’39. “1 shouldn’t say that,” I answered. “The Boston College Glee Club came over for a night of music and dancing. The cutting-in with the girls on the assertive side was simply terrific.” “The time after Retreat has gone quick- ly,” suggested the ghost. “Yes; and, of course, we’ll always re- member our last Retreat here and Father Fitzgerald. Since Easter everything has been directed towards the end — prepara- tion for the Commencement play. The Golden Sovereign, completion of the So- dality Lecture Team’s schedule, plans for Class Day, and the Senior Spread, under the Senior W’eek Chairman, Virginia Breen, and the committee heads, Louise Mc- Namee, Margaret Hart, and Betty Boylan.” “Don’t forget the May Queen, Helen Flynn,” said my airy friend. “You waited long enough for the privilege of having one of your own and it was a beautiful procession.” I had been turning the pages of my scrap- book as we talked about the familiar re- minders. “W e’re at the end,” I said. “The pages are blanks from here on. After Class Day, our last memento from Regis will be a degree — the most and least significant of them all. The most, because it stands for all that these four program cards represent in our separate fields of study; the least, because Regis will always mean to us more than work, more even than the phases of College life caught in this scrapbook — be- cause in memory it will always stand for the shortest, gladdest years of our life — diffi- culties and worries forgotten.” “I understand,” said the Spirit of ’39. “But, remember — you may go, bur I re- main. In spirit, the Class of 1939 will al- ways be at Regis — in the Chapel when the Schola sings at Benediction, on the campus in the splendor of autumn and the joy of spring, in the classrooms with their clear atmosphere of truth and peace — rejoicing in Regis prosperity, proud to bear its name.” ,,, t- Mary E. Carroll [ 164 ] Class Will WE, THE CLASS OF 1939, acknowledging that the ‘ ' backbone of our College career is broken beyond repair,” and being of sound and vigorous mind, do hereby make, publish, and declare the following to be our last will and testament. That our benefactors fully appreciate our be- quests and mourn our parting is the stern demand of this illustrious class. TO THE COLLEGE, OUR BELOVED ALMA MATER, we leave our undying loyalty and deep gratitude, together with more tangible gifts, to wit: one elevator to the Gymnasium, for the exclusive use of the student body and one loud-speaker, to broadcast intermittently all names lurking on the Dean’s bulletin board — said gifts to be hnanced when, and if, we attain economic security. TO THE FACULTY, who charitably molded our turbulent spirits to conform to a desired pattern, we dedicate our present and future successes and a sincere and lasting respect for the traditions which are dear to us both. TO THE JUNIORS, we leave the emblems of seniority and the advice that if the cap tits, wear it. We might add, as a parting word, that the aforesaid Juniors wear those mortar boards well down on the forehead — they will in the end and so save themselves much useless rhetoric. TO THE SOPHOMORES, OLTR SISTER CLASS, we grant the privilege of sharing our happiest memories, as you have shared our gala occasions. We fondly hope that our familiar- ities will be strengthened in the years to come. At those yearlings, THE FRESHMEN, we lift a quizzical eyebrow in mild reproof for the valiant manner in which they assaulted the Dean’s Lists. But, Freshmen, we sympathize with you and breathe a deep sigh of relief and gratitude that we almost completely escaped the new ’’system of weighted averages.” Individually, the members of THE CLASS OF 1939 make the following bequests : Beth Carroll leaves her three-ringed capabilities — leadership, scholarship, and good hum- or as the ideal for all future Student Council Presidents. Beth further bequeaths to anv un- fortunate, whom our august Ethics Professor chooses to question, her Taunton-esque ’ ’W ' ELL,” guaranteed to produce instantaneous results. Louise McNamee bestows on the library a treatise: Two Good Reasons for Locking Suitcases, for the beneht of forgetful Regis girls who ride on trains. Kay Smiddy donates to Eleanore Linnehan, an aspiring English major, her prolific pen, which writes essays, short-stories, and even a poem or two on very short notice. All stray quips are to be returned to Kay as too personal to be included. To all who wish to undertake tremendous enterprises, Virginia Higgins gives a sly wink. Josephine Carey, who can tell us on just what day Napoleon adopted his ”hand-over-the- heart” attitude, bequeathes to Muriel Joyce a few pointers on the fine art of ’’heckling.” Barbara Sullivan, our Alpha and Omega, grants to future Senior Class Presidents the whip with which she lashed us on to our present glory (?). Dot Pearce leaves Mildred Desmond one set of water wings, to swim out of that vale of tears which will be the inevitable result of their parting. Anne Sughrue and Dorothy Gookin devise to all roller skating addicts four comfortable pillows, with appropriate suggestions. Anne Burke’s glamorous nails and dramatic temperament go to Ruth Nagle. To all those desirous of furthering the cause of world peace, (and, incidentally, procuring a magic key to certain allied institutions of learning), Eleanor O ' Hare recommends fervent devotion to the International Relations Club. Sally Bosketti whispers to Eileen Moynihan that the course of true love is sometimes bumpy. Eileen Dons” her oxfords in amazement at this heresy. Bunny Nadeau wills her turbulent and tumbling locks to Josephine Moran. [ 165 ] Betty Boylan and Anne Early, after much midnight collaboration over Social Diagnosis, Alleghany Al, and hair curlers, present to the Sociology Department their masterpiece en- titled : Let the Hurric ane Roar or One Night in a Convent. Margaret Hagen’s Terpsichorean artistry, with accents on the “Lame Duck” and “Jive,” goes to the two Maries; Dillon and O’Leary. Joan Knight bestows one giggle and a definitely un-Massachusetts manner of speech on Betty Dowd of New Jersey, Oklahoma, Texas, and points west. Mary Buckley takes time off from atom splitting to grant Jean Mclnnis her speed mania and reckless attitude on the open road. To all future MOUNT REGIS editors, Charlotte “Squeezy” Ruiter leaves aspirin tablets and the much advertised Postum. If the editor comes from Chicago and is a special favorite, Charlotte promises to tell her of the Ely and the Oyster Shop, to stave off any nervous break- down. Mary Gilbane leaves an autographed copy of her book. What Is Worn Today at Regis, to Mary Malone, who is compiling a complementary volume. What You Will Wear Tomorrotv. Regina Burke bequeathes a set of appropriately bound encyclopedias on the Ins and Outs of Holy Cross, plus her unbending zeal in the pursuit of studies, to that Junior who NE ER opens a book, Doris Paradis. Mary Deenihan and Mary Gilman cut the library off with two new chairs to replace those worn out during their sojourn there. These ladies take with them their many completed cross- word puzzles — to more appreciative atmospheres. Patricia Griffin openly tells Peggy Keefe that those epigrams concerning good things and small packages are a great deal of nonsense. Marv O’Donoghue’s vehement cynicism on affairs of the heart, which this class goes on record as firmly doubting, is left with much skepticism to Dorothy Mulhern. Kav Tracy, who has brought the small town into its own, leaves her rubber gloves and “what-to-do and when-to-do it’’ air to Priscilla Neville. Margaret Landers returns an almost full package of absence cards to Eather Daly. At the earnest behest of the Junior Class, she begs him NOT to name Rita McNeil as her successor. Terry Corbett’s Pepsodent smile and managerial flair are bestowed on Leona Macdonnell. Helen McKenna and Mildred Hasenfus bequeath their united strivings toward boisterous hilarity to timid Mary Graham. Cecilia O’Earrell, our Lady of the Test Tubes, donates her lachrymose sound-effects to the science “lab,” to further the cause of research. Mary Lind’s distinctly “spiritual beauty” — we quote our dear Mrs. Slingerland — and interest in the higher things of life are left in good faith to Dolly Basso, that erstwhile Eresh- man. Beth Mahoney’s enviable record of never cutting a class is mailed to our late lamented Sophomore sister, Peggy Joyce. Miriam Donovan relinquishes her torch as class taxi-ist of the first order to Kay Moran. Isabel Carroll, with a characteristic chuckle, claims she would like to bestow her cher- ished family name on Mary Sullivan, of the Colorado Sullivans. After consulting many tomes, Isabel finds she cannot do this, so sends her best wishes instead. Ginger Breen leaves her interpretation of Baby Snooks and her many hair ribbons to any Regis girl vitally interested in football. To all germ-conscious Juniors, Prances Quinn presents a bloodhound, guaranteed to track down each and every microbe in the Home Economics Laboratory. The echo of her magnificent sneeze, but not the subtle intricacies of its mechanics, is be- grudgingly left these hallowed walls by Kippy Paige. Vith a truly scientific spirit, Margaret Hart advocates the establishment of a museum of Regis curios. As a fitting foundation, she wills her time-honored saddle oxfords. Ever keen to perceive a worthy cause, Virginia Broderick donates to the same, an exquisite miniature of Henry. Angelina Gandolfo bequeaths her many curls, frills, and bows to sweetly beruffled Janet Ha ller, to be used when and if ever the occasion demands. ’irginia Pisher relinquishes her super-special poise long enough to declare vehemently to Kay Callahan that every nice word she ever uttered about Larry is the absolute truth. [ 166 ] Marian Maloon, who never had to resort to books of this kind, slips Sallv Dailey, the pride of the Freshman Class, Dale Carnegie’s classic. How to Win Friends and Influence People. Corinne Crowley gayly devises to all Ethelon Club members her many orchids. “It pays to advertise,” says Corinne. Anne Laffin and Dorothea Murray pass on their countless samples of our handwritings to Marjorie Sline, who sharpens her pencil in anticipation. Ellen Nolan gives her nails a hnal flourish and leaves a discourse on the trials of being a B.C. coed. Helen Young bequeaths to Claire Griffin her delicious diet for Dispensary darlings. Rosemary Burke and Helen Flynn leave two red, rosy apples, with instructions on how to polish them to please any faculty member, to Carr O’Sullivan and Geraldine W ' yman. Betty Kelly bestows her rarely uttered seven-word sentences and extreme reticence in using the first person, on shy little Mary Kirmayer. Ruth Ford leaves her rendition of “Anchors Aweigh” to be sung when any Regisite de- velops seasickness. Peggy Foley bequeaths to Betty Young a little of her zeal in the pursuit of the legal pro- fession. To all who are undecided about the future, Betty Cunniff leaves the comforting knowledge that the best place to decide on a major subject, in college or out, is a summer resort. Mary Conley’s disposition, which reaches its all time high at 9.50 each morning, is left to the next Regis girl to receive “that daily letter.” Peg Murphy, humming “Down by the Old Mill Stream,” parts with her most cherished possession, her public speaking ability. Gertrude Morrison leaves a practical application of Father Daly’s choicer rules of speech. Olga DeSimone gives her posters and parodies to posterity. She can have no worthy suc- cessor. Virginia Callahan’s art and ingenuity in hair-do’s is left to Lucille Carey. Mary Eden wills her boat as soothing recreation for future tired “Microbe Hunters.” Kay Farley, having given her heart and soul to the Tea Room, can give no more. Her rapid fire conversation demands every last breath. Oh, we’re very sorry! WE are late THIS time. Elinor Ryan bequeaths an alarm clock. Enough said. In testimony whereof, WE, THE CLASS OF 1939, hereby name Pal, the trusty guardian of these portals, as sole administrator of this, our last will and testament. Having thus generously disposed of our worldy goods, we do affix hereunto our Seal, on this, the seventh day of June, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-Nine. E. Marie McCabe, Spinster Witnesses: Joe Apple Mabel Apple Class Prophecy This year I was fortunate enough to spend my Easter vacation in Florida, where the delightful climate and endless good times banished effectively all thought and worry about my class prophecy, which, I regret to say, had not then been finished. Flying back, just as I was about to formulate a few plans for the prophecy, we encountered a severe tropical storm. The plane was out of control for a short time, with the result that, when we landed at Baltimore, all the passengers were immediately sent to a hospital for observation. The excessively high altitude had caused deafness in some cases; while others, including myself, were in a more or less dazed condition. At the hospital my examination disclosed no physical injury, but as the authorities were unable to get any coherent statement from me, the doctors held a consultation. In time it was discovered that the high altitude had caused such pressure on the brain that my mind, instead of recalling the past, could only see into the future. Dr. Adams, a psychiatrist, was sum- moned and he tried to engage me in a conversation about my own interests, friends, environ- ment, and what in particular I had on my mind. That phrase was indeed a fortunate one, for instantly I knew that the class prophecy bothered me to no uncertain degree. My case was so unusual that Dr. Adams ordered a stenographic record kept of my ram- blings, which I respectfully submit as the propecy of the Class of 1939. Dr. Adams — Now, tell me exactly what you are thinking this morning. Patient — Confidentially, I want to tell you about my classmates at Regis College and what they have accomplished in the ten years since our graduation. You’ll be interested to know about Frances Quinn, Doctor. At college her obsession was germs and, as you probably read in last month’s Medical Journal, she is now head of a research foundation in the Philip- pines. I imagine that she keeps her husband, a B.U. graduate, in a constant state of worry as to whether she really is in love with her work or with him. You can never tell though; Franny always had unusual ideas! ' hat do vou suppose happened to little Kay Farley? With all the short men in the world, Kay selected for herself a little fellow, six-feet three, and far-sighted at that, so Kay has to spend most of her time dodging her husband’s footsteps to prevent being crushed to death. For novel experiences, I think that Ruth Ford leads the class. She is the first woman cap- tain in the United States Navy. For the sake of “Auld Lang Syne,” she christened the ship “The Mad House” and, when not on active duty, she keeps busy knitting for all her navy juniors. Rosemary Burke, after struggling with shorthand and typing for four hard years at Col- lege, gave it up to become an aviatrix. She is here and there and is more than pleased when she can transport any Regis girls to New York for a short week-end. She has the name of “Terror of the Air” and it does not surprise me in the least. Nothing daunted her at Regis or in Massa- chusetts. Law means nothing to Roey. I heard that Roey received her pilot’s license at Sears and Roebuck’s. As just a side line from married life, Helen Flynn has taken over her father’s shop in Bos- ton. She concentrates on specialty numbers for Regis girls. “One of a kind” is Helen’s motto, thus helping to carry out “ye good old” expression, “Regis girls are different.” Elinor ”Step-and-Fetch-It” Ryan is hostess on Roey’s plane. She is certainly a sweet and charming person for the position; but, sad to say, Elinor doesn’t make many trips. You know, Elinor is usually arriving at the field just in time to see the plane roar off! I really thought that Charlotte Ruiter had all she wanted of pamphlets while at Regis, but no, not Charlotte. She is living in Chicago now and issuing a pamphlet entitled Cross Country Love, with full-page illustrations. Any Regis girl may receive one free of charge by merely sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope. ’irginia Breen and her husband have a school for boys. Her husband, an ex-football star, has all the boys in perfect form — what a football squad! In fact, it is rumored that Ginger is very lenient with all the boys who cut classes — somehow she has a soft spot in her heart for these little cut-ups! Marie McCabe is bustling around doing a little social work, but her most weighty prob- [ 170] lem is “whom to marry.” Marie, as usual, cannot make up her mind about her escorts. She claims that she falls in love with everyone who takes her to a dance. The Ice Carnival opened in Boston last week and Betty Boylan starred, her best number being “The Dving Swan.” I wasn’t surprised that Betty became such a skating enthusiast be- cause she always liked to skate on winter evenings during her College career. drginia Callahan has a little beauty parlor in Weston. She guarantees perfect satisfaction, even though business is extremely heavy, due to the f act that Regis girls have unlimited cuts and may leave the campus at any time whatsoever, without signing out! drginia Higgins makes a fine little wife and is still quite a club woman. However, she can’t quite understand how her husband can be hard-hearted when it comes to burying the dead ( The charming miss, or I should say Mrs., who is in charge of the Globe Cooking School in Boston, is one of mv classmates, Margaret Landers from Lawrence. She is making a tremendous success; and, incidentally, not only does Margaret know all about foods, but also she can in- form you about everything in the textile field. It seems like old times, indeed, to see Corinne Crowley and Betty Cunniff and their re- spective husbands still having a gala time. The four do not seem to have grown a day older since their college days, despite the fact that Betty has four lovely children and Corinne, three. Both couples hear frequently from Mary Conley, who is living in Chicago. I hear. Doctor, that Mary is as happy as a lark and her son is the class baby. Poor Mary will never live that down I think — because the girls like to jolly her about it. Kay Smiddy is becoming renowned for her college songs and cheers, which she composes at a tremendous rate. As a side issue, she is editing a book entitled How to Serve a Good Meal. Read this masterpiece; it is really enlightening and the subtle remarks are outstanding. Mary Carroll, A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. Certainly it did not take Beth long to acquire all these titles, did it. Doctor? Beth, a very active person, has given up three hours of her busy week in order to take over Father Daly’s Ethics classes at Regis. She had much practical ex- perience while at Regis, you know; in fact, Beth uses her own text: My Version of Ethics. Mary Gilbane is now a house mother at a fraternity lodge at Brown University. She is a prominent promoter of fraternity and sorority life and nothing pleases Mary more than to see Regis girls “tripping the light fantastic” down at Brown. Still delving into history with the same characteristic vigor she displaved in College, Josephine Carey is head of a history department at one of the large western colleges. Olga DeSimone, our all-talented member, is a regular career woman. Her paintings and drawings are widely known. Just at the present moment Olga is doing illustrations for Mary Eden’s book : Biology — Its Ins and Outs and U ps atid Downs. Then, there is Barbara Sullivan, Doctor. She exemplifies that old saying, “They were married and lived happily ever after.” Barb is kept busy singing lullabies to all her little “Byes.” Beth Mahoney is teaching mathematics at a coed college in New Hampshire and I under- stand that she is having a grand and glorious time. This young lady is living a whirlwind life and more than enjoys the quiet of Maynard whenever she can get home. Ellen Nolan is happily married and has a charming little family. I always knew that Ellen would make a wonderful wife and mother because, while at Regis, Ellen often found time to resort to the Clothing Laboratory and to play with the dolls, together with a few of her friends. Eleanor O’Hare has become one of our foreign diplomats and has made a remarkable name for herself. Just the other day I saw a picture of her in the newspaper and, if I’m not mistaken, she was planting a tree in commemoration of some noteworthy occasion. Anne Laffin is deep in the study of astronomy. She thinks that she has discovered life on the moon and I am thrilled about this. I must get in touch with Anne to see if there is any more news on the subject. Peg Murphy owns an auto race track in Indiana and does a great deal of racing herself, which is right in her line; and, of course, a few bumped fenders mean nothing to Peg. Sally Bosketti is helping her with the business matters of the track, keeping the accounts and paying all the bills. Mary O’Donoghue has opened a little restaurant outside the track and O’D is especially famous for her “pancakes” and her particularly generous helpings. Anne Burke [ 171 ] also has parr interest in this track —she designs spectacular costumes for all the drivers and supervises the painting of all the racing cars, mixing the paint herself. Genie Burke is head nurse at the hospital beside the track and takes care of the injured drivers. She takes excep- tionally good care of all her patients and certainly “gets around” to see them all. Helen McKenna was speeding over to New York for a short business conference and upon going through Uxbridge, skidded and crashed through Kay Tracv’s cow pasture and killed two of Kay s cows. Immediately Helen was brought to court on the charge of disturbing the country peace and for reckless driving. Helen at once enlisted her lawyer. Dot Gookin; while Kay, not to be outdone, asked Pat Griffin to take her case. Then the four Regis girls went over to court, only to find Dot Pearce presiding at the bench. The lawyers outwitted each other to the extent that the jury could reach no decision. Suddenly a familiar laugh was heard issuing from the midst of the onlookers in the court and hrginia Broderick, reporting for the “Henry Headl iner, came rushing up to the bench in order to have a few words with her old class- mates. Judge Pearce was then forced to adjourn the court proceedings and the young ladies decided to dismiss the case and to have a little reunion. El inore Corbett is editing one of the popular magazines. The Lady ' s Aid. In last month’s edition Louise McNamee’s story, “Ethical Love,” with Joe and Mable Apple as the hero and the heroine, received great acclaim. In that same edition hrginia Eisher had an article on “The Fun in a Jallopy.” Speaking of magazines, I see that Bunny Nadeau is posing for the Talon Placket Fastener “ad.” No more “gap-osis” for Bunnv Mary Buckley has invented an absolute NO-RUN stocking, guaranteed to last through thick and thin — even in the laboratory. And, Doctor, isn’t that television wonderful? W hen I was listening to the radio a short time ago, who gleamed upon my sight, singing that old favorite “Just Mv Bill,” but Kippy Paige. On that same program Mildred Hasenfus lectured on “The Migration of Birds,” a la Gertrude Stein. Gertrude Morrison, who is now writing books for little children, hnding her library science course at Regis a great help, was introduced by Anne Sughrue, who is a famous announcer. Lastly, Mary Deenihan and Mary Gilman carried on a dialogue entitled; “The Flavors and Favors of Chewing Gum.” Isabel Carroll is dean of a little school in Bangor, Maine, and she urges all her pupils to he the quintessence of neatness. Joan Knight has established a summer school in New Hampshire for the sole purpose of adjusting romances. And for something new and different — Peggy Foley has a swing band consisting of twelve cats all named “Popeye.” Peggy is instructing the cats how to make sweet music on the fences in the evenings. Anne Early is following her sociology course, taken at Regis, and is an excellent social worker, concentrating on “Boyle” cases. Helen Young, fortunate lady, is a stewardess on board all boats headed south. Helen just loved southerners to such an extent that she has acquired a regular southern drawl. Cid O’Farrell is perched high on a hilltop in Switzerland and is established in a glass laboratory. I heard from a reliable source that she just blew half her laboratory to pieces, but she has enlisted Dotty Murray’s service to rebuild it. Dotty, you see, is an expert glass blower. While at Regis, she started bv blowing vases, but now she can blow up a house in no time. Miriam Donovan is running a taxi service right in W’eston, for the convenience of the few Regis girls who haven’t cars. Her little side seats are becoming quite popular. Mary Lind is now a second Helen Hayes. She starred as hctoria Regina, while at College, with the result that her fame spread far and wide. In her spare time Mary takes care of the hnances of the joint Sodalities of North and South America. Angelina Gandolfo has just received a gold medal for being the best woman hockey player in the United States. The award caused no furor as Angie could always manipulate a stick! Betty Kelly owns the Kelly Sewing Machine business in New York. Often she is seen stitching a dress and simultaneously reading a psychology book. Quite a combination, isn’t It, Doctor? Margaret Hart has established a toy factory in Lawrence and is especially famous for her “Teddy” Bears. [ 172 ] Well, Doctor, I simply can’t think of another thing to say, hut I presume I have said suf- ficient for one day. P.S. In order to allay at once the anxiety that I know you must feel about my present mental condition, permit me to add that immediately upon unburdening my mind of the tremen- dous weight of the class prophecy, a surgeon claimed that the pressure on my brain tissue had been relieved. So, confidentially, my mind was restored to normal functioning. However, I sometimes wonder. Marian G.

MAMMOTH CARNIVAL RLANNKl) In the winter of thirty-nine, (The year of the National Weep) The time, Regisites thought was tine To hold a Carnival Week. “We’ll ski,” they said, “we’ll ski and skate; We’ll sleigh-ride and toboggan; We’ll have a most amazing time.” (.And how can you rhyme toboggan?) They went to work with a merry will .And laid their plans with unction. They built a slide upon a hill And prepared a buffet luncheon. They flooded a farmer’s carrot field To make a skating rink. The farmer, when he saw the field. Took on like the missing link. They hid away all the goldfish And invited the boys of Harvard; (jot a chef to make a dish That was specially spiced and fla- vored. I I They waxed the gym for dancing in .And prettied up all their bonnets; Polished their skis; they creamed their skin; .And practiced cpioting from .sonnets. I ' hey finished their preparations j ■And had ev’rything set to go — When, much to their consternation, They realized they had no snow. — Now, you can make horseradish without horses and catsup without cats and clam broth without clams, but one of the things that you can- ' NOT do in this world is to hold a ! snow carnival without snow. SO — — there wasn ' t any snow carnival. SURGICALIW SPEAKING I Fresh Incision ... Freshman Days Sudden Rise in Temperature. . . . . .Cap and (lown Day Silver Nitrate .Applied. . . . . .

Season changes such as semester endings are specially favorable to the contraction of this disease. It is somewhat con- tagious. Large groups of people, sim- ilarly occupied, students for example, have been known to have been bitten epidermically. The symptoms are strange and varied and are sometimes confused with those of the milder infection known as uiz. The victim early begins to show a despondent attitude. The eyes take on a glossy appear- ance, enveloped in bags. Complex- ions range from tattle-tale grey through the greens to deep purple. In the more severe cases the patient is given to sitting in clothes closets, clutching such objects as text books, class notes, and extension lights.

As through the darkness countless millions grope. The lesser States beneath the mighty fall; The bitterness of hate and lust enthrall All nations of the earth within the fear Of war. No longer freedom, men enjoy, For honor is the petty tyrant’s toy, And ravages of discord hover near. These shadows stalk across our ivied tow’r, As we beneath its sacred Norman wall Are witness to the instruments of pow’r That wield the sword of hatred over all. Enlightened by the peace of truth and right, Serene we stand against this reign of might. Oh Tower, be to us a beacon clear. Protect us on the troubled road of life; Undaunted may we stand, secure in strife. And in the throes of conflict persevere. Beneath your pillars proud we bid farewell, A hush of sadness steals within each breast; Our loval hearts with fondness gently swell. As staunchly we embark upon life’s crest. Like tow’rs of strength toward future heights we soar, Firm guardians of thy trust forevermore. To Thee, O God, our efforts we commend. Inflame our hearts, our every action bless. As fostered by Thy Love and Holiness, W’e take up arms Thy precepts to defend. ELINORE A. CORBETT Tree Oration In planting this tree — young, as we are, and innocent of storm, we are leaving at Regis a symbol of our youth and the hap- piness we have known here. We are met to say farewell to a most gracious and kindly mother, whom we first greeted with mingled reluctance and eagerness: reluctant to leave the life we had known, eager to enter a new world of our own. These same emotions meet again as we enter another world — one which does not await us with the open welcome of Regis. As our tree grows, so shall we. As it is left to the vicissitudes of weather, so are we at the mercy of forces beyond our con- trol. Yet our tree grows in good soil — we consign it to the play of wind and rain with the prayer that it may never be uprooted. So is our foundation laid in principle and as long as our roots remain firm, even in days of disillusion and disap- pointment, we shall not fear. Our blossom- ing and fruition will be as they may; yet, in our eyes, the gnarled and broken apple tree is as beautiful as the haughty palm, the short-lived poplar as fair as the aged redwood, the prickly chestnut as admir- able as the gracious willow. So would we be — like the fruit tree, of service; like the shade tree, a comfort to men; like the blossoming bush, beautiful to behold — in the charity and honesty of our lives. This tree thus is a symbol not only of what we have been, but of what we shall be. It appropriately stands on Regis hill, within sight of the buildings that custom has made so familiar and of the Sisters of Saint Joseph and the faculty who have fed us on wisdom and truth, the life-giving moisture in our roots. Love and loyalty we pledge to Regis at this moment of depart- ure — but, enough of sad seriousness, the occasion is joyous and we have a life to live — for Christ. Mary E. Carroll ATHLETICS [ 182 ] AT REGIS [ 183 ] Baccalaureate Sunday June 4, 1939 SOLEMN HIGH MASS Celebrant, The Right Reverend Francis L. Phelan, LL.D. Deacon, The Reverend Ambrose Hennessey, D.D. Sub-Deacon, The Reverend Louis I. Cunney, D.D. A aster of Ceremonies, The Reverend Edward T. Harrington, A.M. Baccalaureate Sermon, The Reverend William J. Daly, A.R. Music by the Schola Cantorum TO THE CLASS OF NINETEEN THIRTY-NINE Something tnore than culture is needed to 7tiake a young lady virtuous. Refinement is not purity; mentality is not sanctity. Good judg- ment is not good conscience; clear thinking is not clean living; culture is not virtue. Hence, a woman cculd be refined without having a shred of virtue. She could be a paragon of culture and still be morally vile. Religion is needed to make a young ivoman virtuous. Without religion, there is no incentive to live a virtuous life. If young ivomen do not believe in God, they will not obey Him. They tv ill do as they please. If they do not believe in Hell, they will not be afraid of any punishment; they will feel that they can evade the law; they will feel that they can conceal their disgraceful acts. If they do not believe in Heaven, if they think that everything ends at the grave, they will try by fair means and foul to get every- thing they can out of this life, even if they have to steal and cheat to get it. If they do not be- lieve that God made them, if they think they are descended from the monkey, if they think that they are only one step removed from the swine, the wolf, and the tiger, they ivill go out and wallow in filth like the swine, and rob like the wolf, and kill like the tiger. [ 184 ] Without religion, there can be no virtue. When education opens up avenues to success through the commission of crime, ivhen gold glitters and ambition beckons us on to deeds of dishonor and dishonesty, it is not intellectual culture but the thought of judgment and Hell that holds women back. When passions clamor for indulgence, it is not self-respect hut the con- sciousness that God sees her that restrains the ivoman. It is religion that keeps unsuccessful women from despair. It is religion that keeps grief-stricken women from pessimism. It is re- ligion that tempers the high-spirited and re- strains the rich. The equipments of social, liter- ary, and artistic life are sufficient for fair- weather morality, but ivhen the storm comes, they are shattered to bits. When passions rise in their volcanic might, the whole exquisite fabric of culture defenses breaks before their maddened rush. In that hour, only religion can make women virtuous. It is because so many people have stopped loving God and given their hearts over to greed that we have want in the midst of plenty. It is because so many people have stopped loving God that we find men and nations hating one an- other.
