Mitten Elizabeth M. O’Donoghuc Art Editors: Irene G. LeMoine E. Mary Guthrie Gertrude M. McDermott The 1040 MOUNT REGIS REGIS COLLEGE YEARBOOK PUBLISHED For over one hundred years, the Sisters of Saint Joseph have been laboring in the field of education of American youth, and it has been our privilege to receive their guidance during the past four years. They have sown the seeds of an unsurpassable Catholic training, hoping that we may cultivate, and finally reap the harvest of success. We are grateful to these zealous Sisters and to all other members of the Congregation whose heroic labors and sacrifices have made possible our Alma Mater. It is fitting that we should dedicate this, the Mount Regis of 1940, to the Sisters of Saint Joseph who have dedicated their lives to us. An attempt to capture and bind forever the record of our fantasia ... united orchestration enhancing drama. . the composition, a fugue, its theme in four short refrains. . .a madrigal to our Alma Mater. . .a hymn of moments in chapel . . . a chant of hours in class . . . an interlude of campus life... a hallelujah to the virtuosos who have enriched our offering. . .a hope that each scanning of opus as set down here, will recall the overture, intermezzo, and recessional of our piece. Shadows falling on ivell-beloved scenes FOR KWOK D CONTENTS A scale of lyrical music . . . with notes of crescendo p ower centering in the Norman tower. . .a moon- light sonata on a snow-covered campus ... stac- cato parade of swaying poplars ... ritornellc of the professorate. . .whole notes representing Sen- ior accomplishments . .

JUNIOR OFFICERS Pilgrims ' Progress Like Bunyan’s Christian of old, eighty modern pilgrims set out on the last lap of a three years ' journey to seniority in Sep- tember of 1939. Remember how they un- burdened themselves of those blue gym suits and classic hip-length blackstockings. No more aching legs on the grey dawn after gym day! We were the Juniors, the pius Aeneas” to three Freshman Achates. The responsi- bility of Freshman sisters was a happy one until one evening in late September when, at a faculty reception to the entering class, we manipulated the names of our three Freshmen and their home towns into such geographic rarities as Miss Littleton from Dowd!” Uneasy is the head that wears the crown!” Escaping from this Valley of Humiliation, we led our amazed sisters down to our first comedy success, They Say.” From the ridiculous to the sublime, on October 2, for the last time, we stood in silent reverence to witness the solemn bestowal of the cap and gown, to hear the martial music of the organ heralding the approach of the new “guardians of the college,” to watch the black robe dignify our friends. Now, we were really Juniors or almost Seniors.” Led by our Class President, Grace Mor- rissey, a socially successful Junior bridge party was held in the late fall in Regis Hall, and caused several prize committee members to battle four days against the odds of tearing cellophane ribbon, sticky Scotch tape, and flimsy handkerchiefs. These Juniors were certainly all wrapped up in it!” Do you recall when Prilly Neville un- consciously appropriated the title Miss Psychology” for herself? The Juniors donned the sock once again in the Christmas skit, Public Enemy 99,” in which the amazed heroine shared foot- light honors with a red-sweatered dach- shund. Since then, Marjorie Sullivan has been working on a book entitled How to Solace Lonesome Dogs.” At the party which followed, our streamlined Santa Claus (Mary Ward) descended into the gym “via” an open window, bowed by the customary pack and explaining her sootless whiskers by the blessings of the modern oil burner. At twelve o’clock, the traditional caroling of the Seniors revived the echoes of past years, and added to them the heraldings of another class passing its final Christmas at Regis. In the midnight calm, by the wavering shadows of the candlelight, a flurry of confetti paid a silent tribute to the carolers. The Christmas vacation, which drove us north to ski chalets and south to sunny shores, seemed to fly by and return us all too soon to the ominous forebodings of midyears, recalling the humilation of warning cards which “of course, are not hopeless situations.” With all regrets for the idle hours of vacation and fears of “no cap and gown,” eighty mournful spec- tacles plodded through a week of examina- tions, four o’clock bedtimes, all-night vigils, and cold morning showers. Our survival of the exams was not only an intellectual but a physical phenomenon! Then came the basketball season with its momentary revival of the discarded blue rompers, its homemade cheers, and its true Junior spirit when classmates, who never held a ball before, took to the court with a “do or die” vigor. But we did not concentrate our talents on athletics, for Juniors were graciously admitted to the Sodality Lecture Bureau to speak on the liturgy.

Foley, S.J., a spiritual paradise but not without a laugh! Special memories belong to Betty Mc- Elligott who strutted self-sufficiently into a conference minus a veil! Our Easter vacation again dispersed the eighty po- tential Seniors; some going home, some west — but four went south to Washington to represent Regis at the Student Peace Federation. Mary Joyce covered the social aspects at the Dunbarton dance; Phyllis Crowley, the religious aspect with her highly indulgenced ankle. The delegates took as their motto “Keep Moving and are now publishing a book — Washington: A Guide to Its Hotels. Grace Morrissey reported a most go ' geous trip and when asked about the convention, Geraldine Murphy said, Oh, yes, it was a success — a social success! Time, that old gypsy man,” just stole away the weeks until the middle of April when the gladdest, saddest days of our lives came— Junior Week— our Freshman anticipation, our Sophomore anxiety, our Junior reality. We were present at classes, physically, and applied the professor’s har- rangue on reciprocal trade treaties to ex- change of dances at the Prom; and when the Home Economics teacher asked what Hour we used most in April, we all but answered Orchid. All our collegiate experiences were bound in one great folio in this eventful week when we united with Christ for Mass, our Faculty for dinner, our mothers for tea, our one-and-onlys for the Prom, a Vanity Fair where tissue pastel nets blended in rainbow splendor with Grecian chiffon, and silver vied with gold for bril- liance. We walked as if our balloons were under our feet instead of floating like clay- pipe bubbles over our heads. Forgotten were the battle cries Pinocchio not Palms, forgotten the fiery conclaves for orchestras and refreshments, for under the faithful guidance of Peggy McKeigue, our Prom Chairman, the dance was an under- classman dream come true. Then, we sailed right through the ex- amination tempest, tearing a topsail here and losing the rudder there but arriving safely at the port of Commencement —the last assurance to eighty ungowned Seniors that the days of youth were ended. Now, truly, we were the oldest class in the college” and the shadow of the gown dig- nified us as the guardians of 1940 swayed down the road of time to be lost forever to the laughter of the classroom, the dance tunes of the foyer, the sweet notes of the Alma Mater. Like stout Cortez, we, the Seniors of 1941, stood silent upon a peak in Darien. The hourglass of time had sifted away the sands of another year. Pilgrims had surmounted the Terrible Mountain, over- come the Giant Despair, survived the Val- ley of Humiliation, and achieved the Ce- lestial City of Seniority. GeraldineJ.

They have deserved and received the felicitations of the entire cast. [ 110 ] MOUNT REG S Sophomore Saga Curbing our rebellious Freshman en- thusiasm, the Daughters of the Hurri- cane floated like free whimsical breezes back to Regis College in September, 1939. Light as zephyrs in bent and spirit, we donned the mantle of Sophomores, that stage lacking the novelty of the newly- discovered species of Freshman, and the respect due the upper strata of collegia animalia. We are truly the glory, the jest, and the riddle of College life — a glory, in the energy we spend in our natu- ral inclinations; a jest, in our attempt at Senior sophistication; a riddle, in our con- tradictory capacities. To conduct this enigma to success throughout the Sophomore labyrinth, we appointed as guides: Margaret Loughlin, President; Virginia Croft, Vice-President; Helen McCarthy, Secretary; and Eleanor Dever, Treasurer. As emissaries in our foreign entanglements, we elected Mary Keefe, Josephine O ' Keefe, and Betty Stev- enson. The days after Registration were spent recovering from the shock of converting energy generated in summer into fuel for a steady college routine. Not a month passed before our bubbling spirits again rose to swirl the Freshmen into a whirlpool of initiation. We were ap- plauded by the upperclassmen and scorned by our underclassmen for our revival of this custom. The Class officers, plus Mary Keefe, Marcia Gill, Josephine O’- Keefe, and Alice Murphy, veritable Vene- tian doges, decreed that the lowest form of College life appear all day September 21 in one high-heel shoe, one low-heel shoe, one light stocking, one dark stocking, a green dress, gloves, and a sign revealing the wearer’s name in large green letters. The remaining Sophomores saw justice done a la Simon Legree. At eight o’clock the unwilling victims were led to the gymnasium where their trial, a combin- ation of Major Bowes’ program and In- formation Please, provided many hilari- ous moments. Their fate decided by the above-named Jury and Chief Justice Kay Curran, culminated with refreshments in the cafeteria — the Freshmen no longer unwilling victims! The conquerors became the conquered on Founders’ Day. Fresh from the triumph of figuratively squelching our Little Sis- ters, we were overwhelmed and awed by the sight of our Big Sisters invested with the cap and gown. Their dignity, serious- ness, and poise compelled our admiration and captured our respect. We bowed under the yoke of deeper love and pride toward our Sister Class. This was one of the few unanimous sen- timents uniting our class throughout the year. With the selection of our major sub- jects, we were now widely scattered in pursuits and tastes — some advocating lan- guages and literature as a good investment for a pleasant cultured life; some perform- ing mental gymnastics with mathematics; some caring for white mice in biology; others arguing the advantages of secre- tarial studies in obtaining a job, or home economics in preparing for dietitians and fashion designers. In our chosen fields, we excelled, so that no Dean’s List was com- plete without a Sophomore cast, many repeating their curtain calls. But do not deign to suppose, fair readers, that we restricted ourselves to studies. Regis Hall, October 21, was the scene of the shattering of our own tradition as tradition-breakers. The inventive spirit of the Freshman initiation became conser- vative with the annual Sophomore Bridge Party.

The forty-twoers” were also seen and heard from in the club, campus, and out- side activities. El Circulo Castellano honored Kay Curran and Gertrude Parks with the offices of secretary and treasurer [ 112 ] MOUNT REGIS respectively. Le Cenacle Litteraire claimed Elizabeth Powers as secretary; Sylvia La- gasse was keeper of the marks in Der Deutsche Verein. Elected treasurer of the Glee Club, Virginia Curtin ably accounted for unpaid notes. What could be more commonplace than secretary of the Secre- tarial Club? Yet Geraldine McGillicuddy was invaluable. As reporters for the Louis Pasteur Club publication, the “Scope,’’ Anne Lane and Helen Cronin turned their microscopic technique to advantage. Mary Lou Healey, a blue-ribbon winner in the Horse Show, became a further asset as treasurer of the Riding Club. In December, with the increase of the Sodality Lecture Team to include under- classmen, the Sophomores joined the ranks with Joan Leinen’s giving “The History of the Devotion of the Catholic Church in the United States,” Sally Dailey’s ad- vocating “Catholic Labor Leadership,” Elizabeth Powers’ enumerating the “Cath- olics in the Literary Field,” and Catherine Garrity’s explaining the relation between “Church and State.” Thus engaged in so many activities, we found ourselves saying, “Merry Christ- mas!” A two weeks’ festive vacation, with the Regis Supper Dance a high light, was followed shortly by those necessary pain- ful extractions of knowledge — known as midyear examinations. Weathering their effects, we managed to send a successful basketball team of Mary Keefe, Joan Leinen, Margaret Lewis, Mary Lou Healey, Julia Murphy, Patricia Jefferson, and Phyllis Tremblay into the regular Thursday night tournaments. In that season we supported enthusiastically the [H3] nineteen-forty informal activities of our Senior Sisters — the roller skating party, the fashion show, and the treasure hunt. An early Easter made for an early Retreat, truly inspiring. Then we spent Easter vacation at home, or traveling, as the case might be. We returned to College with the coming of Spring — a time not conducive to study, but certainly to music. Just as in autumn at St. Cecilia’s Day concert, the Sopho- mores again added their talents to the Glee Club and Orchestra. A spark of pride glowed within us when we beheld Mary Lou Healey wielding her baton and Sally Dailey touching the strings to music. After participation in Junior Week, in anticipation of our own a year hence, and in the memorable May Procession came our Class Banquet, that gathering so en- joyable as to claim a permanent niche in the annals of the Class. With finals scarcely relegated to the past tense, the Sophomores captivated their beholders in the Class Day celebration. We offered forty of our loveliest, enhanced by beautiful gowns and fortified with charm (inspired by our course in that elusive subject) to honor the Commencement of our Senior Class. The past vividly present with the inspiration of the Seniors and achieve- ments of the Juniors, we advance a third step into the future, listening to the poet say: Thou openest the mysterious gate Into the future’s undiscovered land.

[ 116 ] MOUNT Paradise Planters Perhaps it would be easier if it were understood here, at the beginning, that the Class of 1943 is no ordinary class. It was evident almost immediately that we were distinctive, and that our amazing and versatile talents completely obscured our few and little white faults. It is nothing to be wondered at that we took Regis by storm; why, some of us weren’t here fifteen minutes when we had discovered the trunk room, played the piano in the foyer, and laid claim to the softer bed. Of course it must be admitted that the intricacies of registration were a bit con- fusing. One detail, that of writing one’s name backward on the admission blanks, was rather tedious. Patty Blunt confided to me that after she had written Blunt Patricia, Blunt Patricia, Blunt Patricia, seemingly hundreds of times, even she began to doubt her own brilliance. However, that and the other minor problems of establishing one’s self at College soon passed away and by the time Founders’ Day arrived, the Class was well on its way to success. Our studies were coming along nicely, thank you; that is, those we had time for. At first, of course, we had difficulty until one of our more helpful teachers suggested, “If you don’t have time, make time.’’ Things cleared up from then on. By the last of October, we had learned to tell the difference between Colonial hymns and Revolutionary satire; that an analogous universal concept is a universal concept that is analogous; how to play twelve of Glenn Miller’s records between 9:30 and 9:33 (and 13 if we didn’t stop for facials); how to make the apple orchard and back between history and logic, to say nothing of our several other hidden accomplishments that have yet to see light. The first real chance to prove that we were simply oozing with social savoir-faire came with the Harvest Hop, November 3, our first College Prom, and no doubt many of us were excited. Of course one could never tell from our serenely blase expres- sions that our hearts were beating just a little bit wildly, and that we were just a tiny bit thrilled with the splendor of the Somerset. The week following, every one had a faraway look in her eye, and went about with a blank expression, humming “South of the Border.” Thanksgiving vacation came, during which many of us braved the elements and sat damply in drizzling rain to watch Holy Cross, the wonder team, go down to defeat at the hands of B. C., the team that had them wondering. I won’t stop to voice my sentiments here because I am a bit universal as regards the attitude of my readers. When we returned to school, we as- sumed a more serious outlook on life as we were received into the Sodality. This was a very beautiful ceremony and one that we shall remember and cherish for the rest of our lives. Before we had a chance to count the tests in biology, Christmas vacation was upon us and with it the joys of dances, teas, parties, and presents! One of my more in- timate friends at home, on looking at me for the first time since September, said, “My, College certainly is broadening!’’ and as I think it over, I don’t think she meant intellectually! As we look back on our midyears, we wonder what kept us alive during them. Some wit was heard to say that it was the plans for the Pre-Lenten Dance. Be that as it may, we did survive, and that’s the main thing. The Pre-Lenten Dance was at the Com- [117] NINETEEN-FORTY The plebes of the Regis regiment. . largest group ever to enter this army of collegians. . .their youthful spirit converges with full-fledged ideas of loyalty. . .bullet-like their response to all activities. . .march- ing in closed ranks to high attainments in scholarship and sports. . . .

Chris Connors went twice, once without her ticket. Lent settled in on us, during which we made several good resolutions and, mir- abile dictu, kept a surprising amount of them. A roller skating party and a treasure hunt provided entertainment for those charming members of our Class who were more susceptible to society. Our Annual Retreat began March 15 and was brought to a glorious close on the 20th. To many of us, it was our first opportunity to participate in such exercises and when we left Regis for our Easter vacation, we found it extremely difficult to keep our feet on the ground! The Spring term at Regis began the first of April, and we can truthfully say it was the most wonderful of all. As you have probably already guessed it, I don’t need to tell you that the Freshmen looked sim- ply gorgeous at the Junior Prom. Holy Cross and Boston College were much in evidence that evening, each striving to be nonchalantly unaware of the other’s ex- [118] M O U N T REGIS and friendliness. . . .Vacation find them at hops. . bell-summons for- gotten for a saunter on Flirtation Walk . . . sportsers galore in the Fresh- man barracks. . .and music claims a large group too. . . One wish for the yearlings: may you always man the guns of comradeship as faith- fully for other superior officers as you have for us. istence. The marble foyer was resplendent with the proverbial palms and balloons, and everyone was forced to admit that there probably won’t be a better Prom for years — two years to be exact! We were scarcely aware of the fact that May was here, when rehearsals started for the annual procession and Commence- ment. We all secretly admired and envied the beautiful golden-haired Senior who was crowned Queen of the May, and I think in more than one of the hearts of the Class of ’43 the resolve was born to dye her despairingly black locks yellow. The black-robed Seniors smiled through their tears when they received their de- grees, and in more than one of our minds arose the thought that some day it would be our Commencement; some day we would wear those distinctive black gowns, and walk up gracefully for our rewards of merit How sad, and yet how wonderful! and this thought made us resolve that during our next three years at Regis, we will be loyal and faithful to the ideals for which she stands.

Carey Secretary Continuing the demerit system inaugurated last year, members of the 1939-1940 Student Council have carried on an adequate and successful program of at least partial self-government. Under the capable direction of Julia M. O’Brien, President; as- sisted by Christine McKenney, Barbara Norton, Elizabeth O’Donog- hue, Dorothy Golden, and Lucille Carey, Senior Class representa- tives; Grace Morrissey, Mayrita Barry, Anne Burke, and Mary Deveney, of the Junior Class; and Josephine O’Keefe, Margaret Loughlin, Mary Keefe, and Elizabeth Stevenson, Sophomore mem- bers; college regulations, as set down in the familiar Student Guide Book, were interpreted; and infractions, punished in proportion to their gravity. Lest one receive the erroneous impression that the Council is a kind of campus constabulary, mention must be made of councilors’ work at social and academic functions. Distribution and collection of tickets, coupled with flawless ushering, have made their assistance indispensable. Undaunted in the face of ever-increasing duties, the represent- atives have carried on their tasks in a most efficient manner, without fear, prejudice, or partiality. Theirs, truly, has been a cooperative government, working as an intermediary between the student body and the faculty, presenting the students’ point of view to the board and interpreting the decision of the governing board to the students.

STUDENT SODALITY Under the direction of the Reverend Edward T. Harrington, the Sodality of Our Lady, preeminently our Spiritual Organization and, consequently, of first rank, has passed another milestone in its voyage towards eternity. Amidst the beauty of lights and flowers before a resplendently decorated Shrine of Our Lady, our Lreshmen, 169 in number, pledged their allegiance and fidelity to the Mother of God at their Reception on December 8. The officiants at the ceremony were: The Reverend Edward T. Harrington, Chaplain, the Reverend Joseph J. Keenan of St. Anthony’s Church, Allston, the Reverend Timothy M.

Paradis Editor M O Laett cantemus amici — we have set the conventional echoes ringing for four years through the halls of Regis. We have listened to serious discussions and played in idle hour. We have sat at the joyous autumn vintage feast, which gathered each year ' s new crop of classicists to adorn our Alma Mater; we have made merry in the spring celebra- tions in honor of the captive lad, Patncius, who became the great saint of Eire; and the rustic background of greensward, tree, and brook has added the sylvan touch each summer at our farewells as each class departed. We have applauded the playlets which entertained us; this year, Socrates and Xantippe in traditional style, flowing tunics, and Grecian up-swept coiffures; last year, Dido and Aeneas, tense and romantic; and in the dim past, dramatizations of Caesar and Horace. With pen and typewriter we have toiled to give our thoughts permanent form in the Res Litterarum. And after busy months of practicing and working with paint brush, glue pot, needle, thread, and script, we have made our marionettes live to the comedies of Greece and Rome. We have listened at the feet of more mature classicists from over New England to garner what we could of the richer lore of the ancient world. And we rejoice now at the good gifts with which the Muse dowers her disciples — both for the past and in the future — mu s arum munera dant cor da libera. [ 126 ] U N T REGIS G. Kiely, M. Barry, D. Belliveau, E Powers LE CENACLE LITTERAIRE Turning from modern France enveloped in a black-out of war, Le Cenacle Litt ' eraire shed its tiny rays of comfort and peace by cooperat- ing with the American Friends of France in their relief program to aid French children. Les petits sacs were generousl y filled by our Club members and it is with enthusiasm that the latter await replies from their correspondents. This year the lure of the drama again held sway, notably at the initial meeting, when Doris Paradis and May Cabeceiras presented the delightful comedy Les Yeux de F Amour and later when Sophomore members, Virginia Croft, Eleanor Greene, Teresa Launie, and Elizabeth Powers, staged the famous L’Avocat Pathelin. At the Christmas meeting M. de Beauvivier lectured on Noel en France to which were enjoined the traditional Noel songs and the exchange of cadeaux among the members. Throughout the year, Club enthusiasts attended the French cinema held monthly at Cambridge. Doris Belliveau represented Regis at the reunion of the Boston chapter of the American Associ- ation of French Teachers. At the final meeting of the Cenacle, the President of the Club was awarded a gold medal, the gift of the French government to French scholars. [ 127 ] OFFICERS Doris E. Belliveau President Gladys E.

O ' Sullivan President Mary F. O ' Sullivan Vice-President Katherine M. Curran Secretary Gertrude M. Parks Treasurer At the first memorable meeting of El Circulo Castellano a lecture, entitled “La Navidad en la Argentina, was given by Martha Kelly, a Club member whose home is in distant Argentina. This talk was followed by open discussion which added interest to the gathering. The new semester brought us Eduardo Azuola, Ph.D., of the diplomatic service of Costa Rica, who gave an illustrated talk, in which h e deplored the neglect of our trade relations with Latin America. Dr. Azuola, Professor of History and Spanish at Boston College, believes that representatives of the United States in the land “south of the border” should be trained to understand the Latin-American viewpoint. To attain a friendly basis for trade and communication, Dr. Azuola stressed the importance of language proficiency. Between April showers, a Pan-American Day, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Pan-American Union, was enjoyed with a befitting program. Terminating the Club activities, but not by any means the least of all meetings, El Circulo Castellano had the pleasure of enjoying a program of a more spiritual nature, namely the experiences of the Rev. John Fee, a Redemptorist missionary who labored in Brazil for eight years. [ 128 ] U N T REG S R. Grauer, S. Lagasse, M. Lee, M. Browne DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN Der Deutsche Yerein has attempted, since its foundation, to inculate in its members an appreciation of German literature and an under- standing of the culture and customs of the German people. At the monthly meetings, all were urged: Sprechen Sie Deutsch; and many of the more popular German folk and university songs were rendered by the group. Throughout the year, interesting papers were prepared by the members In November, the Sophomores provided an excellent pro- gram. Gertrude Mueller related some historical notes concerning Kolner Dom; Helen McCarthy reported on an article from the Ger- manic Review, on the teaching of conversational German; and Car- men Meehan synopsized “Geschichte eines Hundes.” Plans for the Christmas party of the Club were directed by Mary Lee, ’41. Ancient and modern holiday customs were described by Helen Cleary, ’41, in “Deutsche Feste,’’ and Mary J. Murphy, ’42, read in German the Christmas story from Saint Luke’s Gospel. On March 4, in the College gymnasium, Freshman members presented a successful comedy, “Panne Vor Alt-Heidelberg. The cast included: Mary Kelly, Catherine Herbert, Margaret Hahesy, Evelyn Carroll, and Cecilia Reiniger. The final activity of the Club was a tea in Regis Hall, at which Mary Browne presided.

At the October meeting, with an enthusiastic rendition of 0 Sole Mio , the Italianites captured the rhythm and spirit of the language. The charming humility of the late revered Pope Pius XI was revived by Emily Piotti, who was present at the last audience of His Holiness. Doris Belliveau, Louise Forrest, and Mary Hastings added that certain indefinable something that only French majors possess. Mary Hastings gave her impressions of Rome as a subtle blending of two cultures, paganism and Christianity, with its inexpressible atmosphere of immortality. A sentimental silence came over the meeting with Mary Cassidy’s tender interpretation of II Bacio. Eileen Burke lectured on contemporary Italian literature with a thoroughness and erudition seldom found in a Freshman, and Santa Lucia sung by Rose Capachione, brought the initial meeting to a successful close. The spirit of St. Nicholas pervaded the December gathering. Italian religious art was discussed by the Freshmen, who showed an understanding of the various periods in the development of art. The influence of the Nativity on Italian painting was emphasized. Gay programs, red candy, and gifts added a festive note to the occasion. [ 130 ] U N T REGIS E. Flaherty , R. Grauer, E. Birchall, M.

According to tradition, the year ' s program opened with a spirited initiation of new members in October. The November, March, and April meetings were ably conducted by the Juniors and the Seniors, who gave most instructive talks, interesting playlets, and scientific demonstrations. Not the least feature-contribution to the success of the talks was the new alumi- num-coated screen, the 1939 gift of the Louis Pasteur Club to the Science Department. OFFICERS Marion B. Higgins President Phyllis M. Palmer Vice-President Ruth G. Grauer Secretary Ellen F. Birchall Treasurer For the other three meetings, the Club was happy to present in December, in conjunction with the Mathematical Club, the Reverend George O ' Donnell, S.J., Dean of the Graduate School of Boston College, in ' ‘Mathematics and Seismology.” The Reverend Joseph J. Sullivan, S.J., Dean of the Chemistry Department of Holy Cross College, gave a fascinating lecture and demonstration, in January, of glass-working to approximately 150 members and guests. In Feb- ruary, the Club sponsored an illustrated lecture, which was attended by the entire student body, on “Photography in Natural Color” by the Reverend Michael J. Ahern, S.J., of Weston College. Father Ahern showed over one hundred colored slides of the beauties of nature, the work of an Infinite mind.” [ 131] Eleanor L. Flaherty Editor w 7 NINETEEN-FORTY C. Griffin, M. McKeigue, G.

At the October meeting of the student clubs of the Massachusetts Home Economics Association held at Framingham State Teachers College, Claire Griffin was elected news-gatherer for the various clubs of the state. At this same meeting, Barbara Norton rendered an excellent account of the National Convention of the Home Eco- nomics Association held in Texas last June, at which she represented student clubs of Massachusetts. Club members were proud to hear Mary Behlen, ' 35, who im- pressed them with the value of the Home Economics Course and stimulated them to greater activity in Club membership. We are very grateful to Miss Emma Maurice Tighe of the Boston Edison Company for her many valuable personal hints on the en- trance of the Home Economics graduate into the business world. An example of what the Regis girls are doing in this field was illustrated by the excellent food demonstrations presented by Pat- ricia McDermott and Julia Lynch, Class of ’33- Since it is the lady who adds charm to the home, of necessity she is interested in clothes. Mrs. Kathleen Dunning, Professor in the Clothing Department, gave a very interesting talk on the selection of clothes, which was followed by a fashion show in which members of the Clothing classes modeled their finished products.

This year, in addition to the annual Penny Sale, which netted the Club more profit than ever before, a concert, unique and still characteristically Ethelonian, was sponsored by the members of the Club. This concert was given entirely by blind artists, under the guidance of the Rev- erend John Connolly, Director of the Catholic Guild for the Blind. As a closing event of the College year, the Ethelon Club held its annual tea on the campus in the latter part of May. The guests were the supervisors of those Ethelonians who are actually engaged in field work and members of the Alumnae in social work. The hostess this year was Miss Mary Alma Cotter, Director of Social Service in the Department of Public Welfare of the City of Boston and also Director of field work for Regis students. Among the guests were Monsignor Robert Barry of the Catholic Charitable Bureau with several Regis graduates employed at the Bureau, also Miss Laura Woodberry of the Social Service Index, Miss Marion Joyce of the Massachusetts Department of Public Welfare, Miss Frances Marley of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and Dr. George Fitzgibbon, Professor of Political Science at Regis. Short talks were given by returning Alumnae and also by the various supervisors of the students. The student hostess, Janet Ahern, was assisted by the officers of the Club and members of the Senior and Junior Sociology classes. [ 133 ] OFFICERS Eileen P. Moynihan President Marcella M.

Harold D. Young, Superintendent of Personnel for the Employers’ Group, and one who has had many years of experience as a personnel director, outlined important points that should be followed by young women when they set out to find a position. The Rev. George A. King, S.J., of the Boston College School of Business Administration, presented the Club with an exposition of liberalism and its effect on our present economic organization. Capitalism, as an economic system, was defended by Fred Bryan, M.B.A., Boston College. The reception to the Freshmen took place at the annual Christmas Party. Senior secretarial students entertained the Alumnae on April 25- Miss Marjorie Hyde was guest speaker. She not only enlightened the Seniors on their responsibilities upon entering the business world, but also gave inspiration to the Alumnae to return to their various occupations with renewed courage and vigor. Miss Hyde is Per- sonnel Director at R. H. White Company, Boston. [ 134] MOUNT REGIS M. Ford , A1 O ' Connell, M. Madden, K.

Brown spoke on Sumerian Civilization, describing the writing, cities, and dy- nasties of the period. Christine M. Connors had as her subject, Thu- cydides,” in which she brought out his life, works, and influence, particularly stressing that the great man made it his business to describe and explain the struggle between Sparta and Athens for supremacy in Greece. Mary A. Kelly followed with The Age of Pericles, viewing Athenian politics and democracy through the eyes of the artist. Evelyn L. Carroll brought the meeting to a close with Hellenic Civilization, which concerned itself with the cul- tural phases of Greco-Roman civilization. At the December meeting, the Reverend Martin Harney, S.J., of Boston College gave an enlightening and inspiring talk on The Counter-Reformation,” citing the foundation of the Society of Jesus and the constructive work accomplished by this order in reacting to the Protestant revolt. In February, John E. O’Loughlin, Ph.D., Head of the Social Studies Department in the Somerville High School, spoke on Pro- paganda.’ ’ The closing lecture was given April 4 by the Reverend Ambrose Gallagher of St. Columban’s Seminary, Bristol, R.

Freel Secretary Mary E. McKiernan Treasurer Pauca sed matura. This fourth year was the most eventful of the R.C.M.C. Membership in the Greater Boston Mathematical Club brought about that association and understanding among kindred spirits which made us at once look out and look in. We looked out to find out what other clubs are doing; we looked in to do as well ourselves. We found both endeavors time-consuming but profitable! Our intramural events included papers, discussions, and problems. The Reverend George O ' Donnell, S.J., Dean of the Graduate School of Boston College, honored us with his topic, Mathematics and Seismology,’’ at the December meeting. Frequent attendance at meetings of the member clubs of the G.B.M.C. provided means of becoming acquainted with Boston mathematical interests. At the spring meeting of this organization held at Northeastern University, Irene LeMoine gave a paperon The LemoineCirclesof theTriangle,’’ and promised to investigate the relation between herself and the famous Lemoine. Teas, dinner parties, entertainments, and games added variety to the calendar of the year. We sought and found art in mathematics and mathematics in art; music in mathematics, mathematics in music; poetry in mathematics and mathematics in poetry. We have left to posterity an official bulletin of the organization. The initial number is the work of the Senior year with Irene LeMoine as Editor. The Mathematical Angle has started by being neither acute nor obtuse, but right. [ 136 ] U N T REGIS R. Warnke, C. Cosgrove , B. Sullivan , K Buckley, M.

At the pre-Christmas meeting in Regis Hall, opinions were ex- changed at a candlelight dinner, enlivened by the singing of carols and College songs. In February, the Club gathered in the Social Room to review cur- rent fiction, to recommend and reject popular titles, and to laugh with Leacock over his Too Much College. A discussion of the Catholic Little Theatre Movement, particularly in the work of the Blackfriars group, led to an appraisal of the Lenten drama, Barter, written by the Rev. Urban Nagle, O.P., founder of the Blackfriars. A journalist’s impression of the making of a Boston newspaper evoked questions from the members who were unable to join the Herald- Traveler inspection trip. Miss Peck, Book Selector in the Boston Public Library, addressed the Reading Club in April. Her suggestions on the choice of books were interesting and informative. Taking for his subject Films Based on Books,” the Reverend Joseph E. Manton, C.SS.R., in an eloquent lecture commented on the liberties taken by Hollywood script-writers. [ 137 ] OFFICERS Ruth A.

With the Senior Officers: Constance Gough, President; Louise Forrest, Vice-Presi- dent; May Cabeceiras, Secretary; and Irene Le Moine, Treasurer; the Club did a revolutionary thing — it presented, as its Christmas pro- duction, not the traditional pageant, but a modern play, The Joyous Season, by Philip Barry. One of the most outstanding things of an outstanding production was the set and costumes, which reached a degree of excellence never seen before on the Regis stage. Made up of contributions from the parlors of the cast and from the salon of a well-known furniture establishment, and graced by gowns and furs from exclusive Boston fashion dictators, the stage assumed an appearance approaching its sophisticated Back Bay setting. The Juniors, as usual, presented the Christmas comedy at the annual Yuletide party on December 19, this year’s offering being entitled Public Enemy No. 99.” For Commencement, the Seniors turned to the costume p lay, choosing Flelen Jerome’ s adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s powerful novel, Jane Eyre.” Although intensely dramatic and forceful, the cast displayed, with great skill and ability, the story of a love strong- er than all obstacles. [ 138 ] U N T REG S D Goldin, M. Gallagher, D.

Activities began in October, with a panel discussion of Neutrality,” by Margaret Loughlin, Grace Morrissey, Mary Gallagher, and Jean Mclnnis. The following meeting was addressed by Eleanor O’Hare, ’39, who gave members a thrilling description of Europe as she found it on the verge of war last summer. Members of the Holy Cross Historical Academy, assisted our girls at the December meeting, in the two-fold discussion — Summi Pontificatus and the problem of Propaganda in a Democracy. February brought the long anticipated event, the convention at Boston College of all the New England members of the Student Federation of the Catholic Association for International Peace. Regis was proud of Geraldine Murphy’s paper on What America Can Do for Peace and of Barbara Norton’s chairmanship. Came March, and another panel discussion; this time Tufts and Jackson joined Holy Cross and Regis. Later in the month, during the Easter vacation Phyllis Crowley, Geraldine Murphy, Mary Joyce, and Grace Morrissey, journeyed to Washington, D.

De- lightful too was the accompaniment given the Glee Club at the same concert, which had as its concluding number, the ever-popular, “College Medley, which, incidentally, is now obtainable in record form. In December, the combined efforts of our musical units enhanced the Christmas dramatic production by renditions of carols and hymns. Among social events in which the Orchestra participated, not to be forgotten, is the April musicale sponsored by the Glee Club. Following this success came conscientious rehearsals for Class Day and Commencement exercises, which, coupled with the background music for the Commencement play, “Jane Eyre,” were major tri- umphs and suitable rewards for Orchestra members. Carrying on the tradition established in the early days of the College, the keynote of this year’s Orchestra was spirited enthusi- asm plus unanimous cooperation. Talented students gave freely not only of their energy but also of their time — devoting hours of practice to the mastery of detail. Credit is justly due to each member for it is only through united effort that the Orchestra will be en- abled to continue in its successful career. [ 142] U N T REGIS Front Row: E. O ' Donoghue, D.

LeMoine Art Editor With the completion of the 1940 Mount Regis, we realize that what we have finished is not merely another assignment dictated by tra- dition. It has been our desire to present a combination of history and biography — the history of the Class of 1940, recorded in picture and in print, and the impressions made by each member — which we have attempted to reduce to black and white. We are grateful for the cooperation and support that we have re- ceived from the students and their friends throughout the year, for the many activities sponsored for the yearbook benefit. Among these were: the traditional Fathers’ Night reception and smoker, held on November 12, at which Francis J. Horgan, Ph.D., former Professor of Education at Regis, spoke eloquently and well on the value of Catholic Education — and fathers were entertained by talented mem- bers of the Senior Class; the fashion show and tea on January 13, for which Regis contributed its best talent, both in modeling and in entertainment; the successful bridge party on February 3, which Eleanor Flaherty so generously conducted at her home in Maynard, the roller-skating party, February 23, at Nuttings-on-the-Charles in Waltham; and the unusual treasure hunt given by Janet Ahern, Eileen Moynihan, Julie Byrne, Constance Dever, and Peggy Cahill, on March 9.

Guthrie, M. Murphy , B. Sullivan, H. Hogan, M. Cabeceiras, R. Warnke THE REGIS HERALD It has been the earnest endeavor of the 1940 Staff of the College monthly to mirror truthfully and concisely the spirit of the campus. Keeping in mind the belief that the Herald should be strictly a “vox studientis,” we inaugurated several new columns, which quickly met with the enthusiastic approval of the student body. “Information, Please” was created in an effort to provide an outlet for student opinion — the only drawback being that there were more opinions than questions. On the more serious side, “Serially Speaking” and “Book Baro- meter” gave brief reviews of the latest books and serials running in current popular magazines. The annual poll was altered in content this year. Heretofore the students voted on such “mosts as authors, books, and colleges; but this year, in accordance with our persistent policy to restrict the paper to the sole purpose of expressing the ideas and opinions of the students, we limited the questions to those pertaining to the girls themselves. A trip to the Herald-Traveler Building acquainted us with the more technical side of journalism; and, if the issue immediately following the visit was a masterpiece in setup, perhaps it was not mere coincidence.

Officers were elected and the popular stable was decided upon at the initial meeting of the Club. In the fall and the spring the eques- triennes rode outside; but during the long winter months they used the indoor ring. Riding Club devotees held their traditional Thanksgiving party in the late autumn. At the social, the girls played games on horse- back; and the team led by Leonor Saenz scored the most points. Mrs. Evelvn B. Roberts, manager of the stables, spoke to the members on the Value of Horseback Riding,” when the group convened for a midwinter party. The late winter blizzard in February marked the occasion of a sleigh ride which terminated at the stables for members of the Club and their guests. In spring, the young riders’ fancy turned to a breakfast ride, a very memorable and enjoyable feature of the Club’s activities. A few weeks later the waning twilight enticed the riding enthusiasts to hold a supper ride. Climaxing the Riding Club program was the annual Horse Show — one of the Commencement Week activities. [ 146 ] U N T REG S M. Gregory , K. O ' Sullivan, D Carman , P.

The annual series of intramural basketball games were held in the gymnasium during the winter months. Having humbled the upperclassmen, the Freshman and Sophomore teams clashed in a nip- and-tuck championship game, which saw the Sophomores eke out a victory. On April 16, Regis mermaids met at the Walnut Park School Swimming Pool, and Mary Louise Healey, ’42, splashed her way to the title, “individual high-scorer.” Continuing April activities, undergraduate members of the Club took part in the annual Physical Education Exhibition on Tuesday evening, April 30. Among the features of the evening were Danish gymnastics, folk dances, and natural dancing. It was a most creditable performance and demon- strated the fine work done by Miss Margaret McNamee, Director of Athletics. Throughout the spring months, ping pong, badminton, and tennis tournaments were held. Carefully tucking away gym uniforms for another season, athletic- minded Regisites turned their attention toward the popular A. A. banquet, and, final arrangements completed, gathered almost one hundred strong to eat, drink, and laugh over the events of the past season which certainly held much interest for all.

At the meetings there was an increase in attendance and between lively discussions and helpful criticism, plans were initi- ated — while friendships were renewed over the teacups. Reports from the Chapters at Worcester, Lawrence, Lowell, Con- necticut, and the Fall River area, show successful organization with- in the Alumnae ranks. Through the efforts of the Editor-in-Chief, Catherine R. Fliggins, 35, and her busy Staff, a keen interest in The Quarterly has been main- tained. A spiritual beginning with a “Day of Recollection, under the direction of the Reverend Thomas Fay, S.J., of Boston College, opened the season. Intellectual stimulus through a program of Catholic Action has been the aim of the Alumnae. The Study Club, formed in 1937, has evolved into a less restrictive group, under the guidance of Doris hite Stotz, ' 32. This Forum has en joyed discussions on internation- al affairs, by Patrick J. Moynihan and James Powers of the Boston Globe. Dr. George Fitzgibbon lectured on “Delinquency and Crime Prevention;’’ and Professor Louis Mercier of Harvard discussed “The Reaction Against Naturalism in Philosophy. Socially, Regis Alumnae has been enthusiastically responsive. The four personal dances were very remunerative. May 11 marked the fourth annual colorful Regis Night at the Pops. “Baby Day” afforded a unique opportunity for Mothers to compare notes and show their progeny with the usual parental pride. Margaret O’- Connell, ’37, worked incessantly to augment the Scholarship Fund. [ 148] MOUNT REG S REGIS GUILD OFFICERS Mrs. Edward J. Rhatigan President Mrs. George E.

With a successful bridge and tea in the colorful atmosphere of Regis Hall, an active program for the year 1939-1940 was inaugurated. October found the Guild actively engaged in conducting a rum- mage sale at Horticultural Hall. The marble foyer of the College, with its medieval charm, was the scene of a successful autumnal bridge and tea. A luncheon and fashion show, with Guild members as models, at the Hotel Continental in Cambridge, followed. The Reverend Linus Lombard, C. P., a missionary from China, addressed the members at the League House, during the November meeting. An enchanting playlet, Peter Peps Up,’’ was presented on the same program. Yuletide gathered the members for a tea and Christmas stamp and wrapping sale at the home of Mrs. Andrew J. Macdonnell of West Roxbury. An inspiring lecture by Joseph G. Reynolds, Jr., on stained-glass windows and the cathedrals of Spain and Prance, added an artistic touch to the January program. A successful penny sale at the Hotel Touraine augmented the Regis Scholarship Lund. Keeping to the tradition, the annual Communion Breakfast was held at College Hall in April. The Right Reverend Augustine Hickey, Ed.D., I.P.P., spiritual adviser of the Guild, celebrated Mass. Sen- iors who assisted as ushers were: Eleanor Plaherty, Ruth Knodell, Mildred Desmond, Constance Gough, Janet Ahern, and Eileen Moynihan. An entertaining night at the Pops climaxed a successful season of the Regis Guild. [ 149] NINETEEN- FOR Catholic Biography in Literature Since its inception, biography has been the neglected child of literature; after centuries of existence it has yet to reach maturity. Some ages have given impetus to the art only to be followed by a barren period, and it is this constant, persistent flux which has arrested the development of biography. In the medieval era the business of recording other men’s lives presented itself to a simple, credulous world in the form of hagiography. Authors wrote for the single purpose of edifying those about them, so the result was a mass distortion of the saints’ lives, with any humanizing incon- gruities carefully suppressed. It would be unjust to hold that this was done in a deceit- ful or malignant spirit, rather was it the result of losing sight of the real essence of biography, that is, re-creating the life of a man as he actually lived it. Agnes Repplier, in the early part of Mere Marie of the Ursulines, considers the saints as individuals, detached from the institutions for which they stand, having their share of failings, but tired with the fervor which raises them above their fellowmen. Contrast this interpretation with that of Bede and one can see the advance in modern Catholic biography. He says: It is necessary to say good things of good men, and evil things of wicked persons. Characteristic of his age, Bede sees all men’s lives in the sharp tones of black and white. There are no half tones, no lights, and shadows. Chaucer possessed qualities which might have made him a great English bio- grapher, predominant among them, accurate observation of detail, and keen analysis of character. Unfortunately, Chaucer’s contemporaries were not atune to realism, being themselves thoroughly saturated with the French romantic school. So it was that the early writers of saints’ lives, although they undoubtedly gave to the reader a more or less vicarious sense of elevation, failed in biographical attempt. In none of their works do we know the man; the accent is ever on the sacred office which he holds. It is that same tendency, according to William Roscoe Thayer, which persists today among the English, who are wont to refer to the dean of Saint Paul’s, or to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The modern biographer, who lifts his hero onto a platform and salaams verbally before him, is a throwback to these Middle Age writers. Deferential approach can never be successful. Andre Maurois says: The biographer who imagines that he can improve on nature by modifying the element of the ridiculous in men, or by denying a change of attitude, such a biographer mutilates, distorts, and at length belittles his hero. [ 152 ] MOUNT REGIS This precisely is the failing of early Catholic biographers who saw every king or saint as the ideal king or the idealized saint. Standing in the midst of a commonplace world, the protagonist held aloof from his compatriots, never faltered, but neither did he live, except in the writer ' s imagination. The first important milestone in development was reached by Roper’s Life of Sir Thomas M ore (1557), which, if over-sentimental, is nevertheless a step toward detailed reporting. Previously it was More himself who broke the sequence of hero-worship- ping royal biographies with his Historic of King Richard II, published in 1515- Catholic writers held a prominent place in early biography, such as it was, but what have they done since the sixteenth century and more pertinently what are they doing today? It is a significant fact, and one which should never be forgotten, that from the Protestant Reformation on, Catholic biographers and historians were vir- tually silent. A dogged censorship had sealed their lips. Until the latter part of the nineteenth century then, the Catholic Church was painted almost exclusively in glowing half truths by Whig writers in England; while Catholic clergymen and lay- men alike were misinterpreted and maligned by American Puritans. As might be expected, a staggering amount of libelous slough accumulated, and the ultimate result was the development of a Protestant tradition in biography closely paralleled to that in the historical field. Characters, pro-Catholic in tendencies, be- came permanently unpopular. Writers set their store by biased sources, which, being remnants of an age of controversy, when one side was barred freedom of the press, were naturally abounding in prejudice and error. Consider Cardinal Ximines, whom all know as the Grand Inquisitor, ferocious and unyielding. Purposely concealed is the fact that the Cardinal always protected scholars and educators from the ordeal of the Inquisition. For the very reason of a non-Catholic tradition, contemporary Catholic biography, like recent Catholic historical work, smacks of satire, the surest weapon with which to scatter these four-century-old errors. Belloc remarks: The principal task of historians and biographers today is to shovel off the rubbish that bigots have piled on the records of past centuries and to drag out the hidden truths into the light. The old defensive attitude has vanished. The long silence is broken and Catholic scholars are on the march. If modern Catholic biography is assailed as iconoclastic, we may reply that it is merely a systematic process of myth exploding. Certainly, it cannot be accused of perpetrating the myths. But superior and far more important in significance is its constructive side. The breaking down of the good Queen Bess legend immediately demanded further investigation of history’s great men and women. The main point. Father Alexander says, is to throw light on those elements which have gone into the making of our civilization, and to show that abuse or neglect of them threatens the West with disaster. Only a return to cultural foundations can prevent such an occurrence. At present, a mass of vindicating biography is pouring out of Catholic publishing houses in both England and America. But this is not a task which can be completed in a generation; obstacles are potent and too numerous. Foremost to be conquered is the psychological difficulty of temperament. To most people, and especially to the British people, tradition is sacred, and they are unwilling to have their pet impressions jostled, much less routed out and supplanted. [ 153 ] nineteen-forty Although this is perhaps the most persistent difficulty, not to be underrated is the sense of inferiority innate in Catholics, especially of the old school, as a result of years of oppression. But it is commendable that most modern Catholic historians and biographers alike, since the time of Lingard, have overcome all unwarranted humility, and do not flinch before the renowned anti-Catholic learning. Today the two schools are met on common ground, both self-assured and confident of victory. The one is frantically defending time-worn opinions which now fail to satisfy even fictionally; the other, calmly bringing fresh evidence into play — evidence which the enemy dare not examine and honestly retain his old convictions. Moreover, the held is fortunate to have as leaders such men and women as: Hilaire Belloc, Christopher Hollis, D.B. Wyndham Lewis, Agnes Repplier, Theodore May- nard, Joseph Gurn, the Reverend Peter Guilday, and many others. That the thorough scholarship of these writers is bearing fruit is witnessed by the fact that even some eminent Protestant biographers are contributing work on Catholics, which rivals and at times surpasses the Catholic attempt at sympathetic and accurate portrayal. Prominent is Henry Dwight Sedgewick, whose life of Saint Ignatius Loyola is unexcelled. Avoiding interpretation of religious practices, Mr. Sedgewick has pushed aside sentimentalized legends and customary hatreds and has permitted the saint to tell his own story, chiefly through correspondence. To historical verity, Sedgewick has added conscious creation, lack of which often has ruined an otherwise excellent piece of work. Besides this work on Saint Ignatius, Sedgewick has made other im- portant contributions, among which “Cortez the Conqueror,” “Lafayette,” “Henry ofNavarre,” a “Short Life of Father Hecker,” and an excellent “Life of Samuel Champlain” display unbiased scholarship. If the time co mes when Catholic-minded scholars finally succeed in correcting centurv-old false impressions of popular, literary, and historical figures, the task will then be but half done. There are numerous men of scholarship, religion, and mundane affairs, who have made valuable contributions to society and who, even today, remain vague shadows and at most, merely so many names. To understand fully what has gone into our making, we must overlook none who have aided progress. These compara- tively lesser luminaries oftentimes were not slighted because of mediocrity, and once again we are drawn back to deep-seated bigotry, with its inevitable results — suppres- sion and distortion of facts. Catholic biography, then, is not an accumulation of fantastic thoughts on how this or that saint lived, as the uninformed suspect. Better defined, it comprises a field devoted to the true interpretation of men ' s lives The modern Catholic biographer does not lose himself in admiration for his subject; he carefully weighs all phases of the life, making no attempt to justify errors. Determined not to allow history to absorb his man, the author follows the modern tendency, and sketches in only that background which is necessary to bring out influences of environment. This commentary, then, would seem to imply that all contemporary Catholic biography is meritorious. Unfortunately, the statement is vulnerable in places. It needs some qualifications, for a few writers persist in hero-worshipping idealism, others in the sticky sentimentalized style, which has been justly discarded by most. But over and above a negligible number of less worthy attempts, the field of Catholic [ 154 ] MOUNT REGIS biography has, with its companion history, surged far ahead of all other branches of Catholic literature, most of which were, at first, nurtured more tenderly. Catholic biography has rendered an invaluable service to literature and learning. The startling reports of Catholic scholars, who dug deeply, once the national archives of European countries were opened, examining primary sources without discrimina- tion, whenever such accounts were available, and comparing with them the records on which they were based, gave impetus to all students, and resulted in a wide- spread condemnation of English Protestant sources, which in many cases did not cor- respond to fact, but which for generations had been considered infallible. Biography is the department of Catholic writing to which we may point most proudly. If in the past, the field could be overlooked, the ironic light thrown on history during the last fifteen years, coupled with the unceasing bombardment of literary and historical myths, has blasted a prominent place for Catholic biography. The path has been cleared; early victories, if hard fought, have been brilliant; and the future promises Catholic biography an even lofti er place in English and American literature than it occupies at present. Mary V. Murphy, ' 40 [155] NINETEEN-FORTY And Tell of Time College memories are as the many bril- liant pieces in a kaleidoscope, each distinct from the next, and yet intimately asso- ciated with it in forming one vast gaily- hued design. Each thought of Regis, likewise a glow- ing memory in itself, is merely one part of a rich and brilliant whole. For four years we have been building upon our design, bit by bit, and with every new day, every new event, the pattern has grown in com- position and beauty. As Freshmen, we took our new-found Alma Mater by surprise. We were the largest class thus far to register at Regis. As, awed and bewildered, we wandered about the buildings, vainly seeking infor- mation from equally lost Freshmen, our Sophomore Sisiers, undaunted by our num- bers, were secretly devising initiative measures, designed to produce in us that ideal Spirit of Submission. Freshman handmaids of the austere Sophomores, for one week, we wore in their honor, or at their forcible suggestion, a ghoulish creation consisting of sheets, clothesline girdles, bathing caps, and mis- mated shoes and stockings, — all of which contributed not at all to our beatuy and not a little to our discomfiture. Of course, we emerged stiff-kneed and a trifle dis- jointed, but sufficiently subdued for all practical purposes. With balm to soothe our woes, our Junior Sisters came to the rescue with a party and entertainment in our honor. Melodrama prevailed and with bated breath, we witnessed the old homestead threatened, bargained over, and finally saved by the wholesome red-cheeked hero — remember him, the dear? It was but a short time later, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception that we were formally received into the Sodal- ity of the Blessed Virgin, and invested with the medal, by which we are recog- nized as Children of Mary Freshman year to the Class of ’40 con- jures up in the mind of each member, a host of memories, apparently trivial to all outside our fold, but to us, unforget- table. There was the final demise of Phil Whelan’s Jitterbug, which breathed its last in June of ’37, after countless threatening arterial shocks, produced by a heightened pressure on the gas line, in- creased circulation, and overweight. Its death was mourned by all our itinerant members whom it had served so faithfully. Likewise Moses and his hack deserve a place in our annals; and we can ' t quite forget the incident of the two Freshmen, who, by some mysterious power, won front-row seats in the auditorium, for Sanroma’s piano recital. Forourmore dramatically-inclined mem- bers there remain memories of the count- less evenings spent in rummaging through our neighbors’ attics and grandmothers’ trunks, seeking props and costumes for an entertainment to be presented on one day’s notice, never more. [158] MOUNT REG S At prom time, too, we Freshmen gave our hearty support to our spectacular Junior Sisters, at the same time dreaming of that dim, future date, when we would have one whole week dedicated to our own pleasure. Almost before we could catch our breath after Junior week, our first May Procession and the rigors of our final exams, June was upon us, and with June, Class Day, our first Senior Spread, and graduation. How remote, then, was the day, when we as Seniors, would walk to the platform before our friends and relatives and receive our diplomas. This seemed but an idle dream — a vain hope beyond all realization — and only yesterday, too! In September of ’37, we returned to College, confident that we were tried and tested Regisites, only to find ourselves doomed to a state of complete insignifi- cance, ignored, and abandoned, — our ego deflated. Sophomore year had its compen- sations, however, one of which being the pride and pleasure experienced as we beheld our beloved Sister Class invested with the garb of seniority on Founders ' Day, and with it the honor and glory due such rank. But there were two innovations, this year, to which we had to adjust ourselves. The first was the reduction of cuts. No longer were we free to dash off campus at whim. Our social life was definitely blighted, and the Spa and the Red Coach Grill mourn to this day, the loss of their regular, if not too lucrative, business. The second blow, we, as Sophomores, were forced to bear alone, though not entirely in silence. The sting had been taken out of our intitiation as Freshmen by the consoling thought that in one short year we would be in a position to mete out a double portion of punishment to the unwitting College babies to follow us. Such was not to be our pleasure! Hazing, we were informed, was now considered old-fashioned and outdated, and we, in ideal sisterly fashion, must tender the Freshman Class a welcoming party. Ac- cordingly and appropriately, we thought, we chose as a dramatic production, a melodrama, Hounded by Hate, with an overworked prompter in the person of one of the more diminutive members of the Class, who periodically minced out before footlights, her top hat at a precarious angle and her tails sweeping the stage, and whispered to each player her forth- coming lines. Her frequent appearance, we must confess, was a matter of necessity rather than ’40’s comic touch. To this day, however, we have never let the Class of ’41 lose sight of the fact that in sparing the rod, the child may well have been spoiled. So successful was our welcoming party that to the Sophomores fell the honor and, quite incidentally, the work of providing the entertainment for Fathers’ Night at Regis. Again the spirit of the Nineties prevailed and the Class of ’40 was estab- lished dramatically. Our Sophomore Bridge horribile dic- tu,” was a sad affair, but since what is past cannot be cured, we have philosophi- cally relegated this event to the realm of those things better forgotten. [ 159 ] In a lighter mood, however, we recall the ease with which Ka” O ' Sullivan’s beach wagon duly supplanted Phil Whel- an’s Jitterbug,” in its daily extra-campus sallies. We recall an Italian Class being startled from the lethargy of a warm spring afternoon by the sudden and per- sistent ringing of an alarm clock, and an English Class demonstrating its capacity for absorption and immediate, if not ap- propriate, practice of those precious rules of social aplomb set down by its esteemed Professor. And finally, we have the mem- ory of our annual Class banquet in June at Seiler ' s Ten Acres. With September of 1938, the Class of ’40 had really come into its own. At last we were upperclassmen, guardians of our Freshman Sisters. Unaccustomed as we were to such position, it took but little to coax from us our new-found dignity. Thus the Psychology Class was thrown into chaos one day in October when, in the midst of a discussion of the percept, there suddenly appeared at a window, in quick succession, a picture of Clark Gable, two fuzzy Scottie dogs, a Kewpie doll, and a Teddy Bear all suspended by ribbon from the rooms above, seemingly a release of Senior inhibitions. Second semester was completely colored throughout by one event, Junior week. During the preceding months we spent each spare moment in selecting favors, choosing menus, planning decorations, auditioning bands, and last, but by no means least, by the process of selection and rejection, and finally by that of elimina- tion in deciding upon man and dress. In considering the additional tickets which might have been sold to our tea dance, had the proper contacts been established, we concluded that a dating bureau at Regis would not be entirely amiss. We recom- mend, therefore, that a codicil, concerning this matter, be added to our will. Thereafter in quick succession came the May Procession, finals, and Senior week. Class day had for us a tremendous impor- tance, this year, for it brought with it the realization that on this day we had reached the last crossroad of our four-year journey and that we should return to Regis in the fall as capped and robed Seniors. We had only one more winged year, in which to enjoy to the fullest the fruits of our Alma Mater- one year in which to attain to the intellectual maturity and moral rectitude of a daughter of Regis. Of the fall of our Senior year, our most vivid memory is that of the sun-flooded chapel and its flower-decked altar with the organ playing a stately march as, one by one, we approached the rail to receive caps and gowns. We returned to our seats full-fledged Seniors, traditionally robed guardians of the College and feeling more than ever members of that goodly fellow- ship which follows in the footsteps of the great scholastics — fellow travelers a- long the road illuminated by Scotis and Aquinas. In our lighter moments hereafter, we shall recall with no little pleasure, the goat who emulated Mary’s little lamb and followed Ka to school one day. Christmas held for us yet another un- forgettable ceremony, fast becoming a [ 160 ] MOUNT REGIS tradition, when we caroled our way through the halls of Regis at the hushed hour of midnight. The lights from our candles must have revealed to the on- looker a group of earnest-eyed girls, trying to forget that this was for them one more milestone along the last short road to graduation. Memory of our Christmas production, “The Joyous Season, by Philip Barry, brings us no little satisfaction, for not only was it a dramatic success, hut for the first time in the history of Regis, it in- cluded in its cast a male actor. Of course, he made no actual appearance before the footlights, hut, nevertheless, to a certain Holy Cross graduate, fell the honor and distinction of being the only man ever to act in a Regis play. As the years pass, the fatigue and strain, inescapably attendant on our last collegi- ate May and June will be happily for- gotten, and we shall relive in memory our May Procession, this year peculiarly our own; our commencement play, Jane Eyre;’’ the impressive solemnity of Bac- [161] calaureate Sunday; and this, our Class Day. Tomorrow we graduate . Tomorrow we shall leave the cradle of our collegiate memories, — memories which in kaleido- scopic fashion, have settled into their final pattern, complete and irrevocable. In part- ing from our Alma Mater, under whose fostering care, we have been guided and instructed in the ways of right, we begin a new pattern, that of a new and more im- portant life: a life for which we have been nurtured and prepared by our four years at Regis; a life which will call to the test those principles of truth, justice, and charity, so deeply inculcated within our hearts. May we meet that test with a confidence born of steadfast faith and sincere con- viction. May we return to Regis some slight modicum of the honor and glory, in which we, proud to bear her name, have been privileged to share. Leona M. Macdonnell, ’40 nineteen-forty Testament of Youth We, the Class of 1940, being about to depart our present sphere of influence in full possession of crammed head — duly waved — fine mind — impoverished from overtaxation — , and fully aware that sic transit gloria mundi , do hereby proclaim this our last will and testament. To the Student Body we bequeath our dignity, our knowledge, our class spirit, and our sorrow at their grief in seeing us leave these hallowed halls. To the Juniors, our rightful heirs, we give and bequeath, spontaneously and without reservation, our most treasured possessions; namely, our unparalleled bril- liance, our self-admitted importance and, in all modesty, our superabundant self- sufficiency to which we blushingly plead guilty. The Sophomores receive our fond love and best wishes. We leave also the hope that they will have as fine a Sister Class as we did. For the Freshmen we suggest a course in which to acquire sophistication, as well as the consoling thought that the first four years are the hardest. WE KNOW ! Upon the future staff of the Mount Regis the present Staff confers patience, fortitude, and unshatterable nerves. The Library may claim one bloodhound, especially trained to detect the where- abouts of books classified as lost, strayed or stolen.” To the Tea Room we grant ALL the privileges usually enjoyed in such estab- lishments. To the Mathematics Department we leave the task of computing the maximum capacity of one chapel pew. The Charm Course, of which Regis girls have no need, is presented with bigger and better attendance. The individual bequests are as follows: Helen Connolly, who has never had to reply ”1 don’t know,” to a professorial question, relinquishes her ability to mem- orize — as inspiration to all Regisites. That originator of the”Station Wagon Set” (with apologies to Faith Baldwin), so appropriately nicknamed ”Ka” O’- Sullivan, leaves the traditions of the group to be upheld by Dotty Mulhern. Mary Murphy parts unwillingly with her subtle humor and a hint that it is never advisable to exceed a thirty-mile speed limit, especially when passing police cars. An extensive knowledge of flora and fauna, derived from her short nature walks, is left by Jo Wyman, to all lovers of the great open spaces. To Mary Joyce goes Margaret Burke’s new book called The Faculty and How It Should Be Mimicked.” Alice McSoley ' s willingness to oblige is left to all incoming Freshmen. A treatise written by Doris Paradis has been given to the Science Department. The name of this masterpiece is How to [162] MOUNT REG S Trap Certain Rare Specimens of Homo Sapiens in the Vicinity of Room 210.” Mary Guthrie could never carry her shyness out into the world, so she trans- mits it to Mary O ' Sullivan. Ruth Warnke offers her record of four noiseless years at Regis for the edification of Mary Mulligan and Rose M. Brouil- lette. The Junior Class realist, Ruth Grauer, can now claim Marion Quinn’s dream world. Bunny Sullivan’s outward sobriety will be gratefully received by Mary Graham. After Gert McDermott’s experience with canceled speed tickets, she is happy to give them to Jane Monahan, who will know how to use them. To other sister teams at Regis, the Freels, Alice and Mary, leave advice on how to win friends. Connie Dever gives the diet she never started to Elinor Doyle . Anyone desiring lessons in first aid may apply to Leona Macdonnell for infor- mation on” What to Do Until the Doctor Comes. ’ ' Marcella Donovan bequeaths her thesis How to Tell No-Point Jokes” to Kathleen Creedon. The hostess’s delight, Dot Whelan, bestows upon all out-of-state students her penchant for obtaining week-end invita- tions. Virginia Ferraro’s naivete can best be used by Beverly Barry. Jean Mclnnis and Martha Ford ap- point Betty Dowd as next official Regis representative at all Princeton proms and suggest that one should NEVER cut that three o’clock class on Fridays. Sometimes it is cheaper to ride than to walk, or so Margie Carroll and Gertrude McCourt have decided, so they will their personal map of the city of Boston, as well as some worn-out shoes, to Marie Carroll and Kay Foley. [16 N I N E T E E Ruth Bateman and Betty McQuillan bequeath their opinions on Capital and Labor to the A.F. of L. and the C.I.O. Janet Ahern and Eileen Moynihan re- serve their former table at the Statler for Marjorie Sullivan and Janet Hailer. Eileen and Janet are now more interested in serious” things. Ruth Knodell and Madeline Creedon regretfully give two seats in the taxi to Moses.” Doris Belliveau’s faultless grooming, she gladly consigns to the nonchalant Millie Trask. Claire Cosgrove, Marguerite Erickson, and Mary Deveney will receive choral arrangements of “Sweet Adeline” as sung by Midge Madden, Peg Cahill, and Marion Quinn. The pride of the Senior Class, Julie O ' Brien, awards her personal charm and executive ability to Priscilla Neville. Mane Scanlon gives her angora swea- ters and bows to Mary Gallagher. After due consideration, Marie Dillon’s password to Harvard get-togethers is left to Jane Cox. Ruth Melanson bequeaths her enigmatic silence to the Sphinx-like girl from Den- ver, Mary Sullivan. ] N - F O R T Y Connie Gough leaves her footlight fever to all aspiring Thespians. As separate bequest she gives her famed monologue, “Betty at the Baseball Game,” to the Boston Bees. Mary Brennan’s calmness is passed on to her high-pressure sister, Peg. Any number of lethargic Juniors may have Helen Hogan’s energy and indomi- table spirit. Eleanor Coppinger’s hope chest is given hopefully to Marguerite Bisson. The knack of cutting five o’clock classes unobserved is given to all Sociology majors by Mary Kerr. Marie McCarthy assigns her savoir-faire to those chronic adolescents, Jean Dooley and Anne Lane. Eleanor Flaherty, Mary Shea, Helen Murphy, and Florence Deary bestow their even dispositions upon the ever-pleasant Junior, Martina Sullivan. An art studio in Regis Hall, to be used for poster designing, is disposed of by Claire Griffin. Betty Young may claim it. One Beech-Nut bunny has been found at the Franklin Park Zoo. Winchell says that it was abandoned by Chris McKenney. Barbara Norton intrusts her collection of records to the underclassmen, hoping each has a “Vic” to go with them. Marie O’Leary finds she has nothing to leave. She is all ' ' Peter ' ’-ed out. In testimony whereof, We, the Class of 1940, do appoint as executor The Little Man Who Wasn’t There. Having thus disposed of our worldly goods, we here- unto affix our seal, on this, the fifth day of June, in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand, Nine Hundred and Forty. Muriel A.

Hogan MOUNT REG S As the Earth Turns My dilemma originated with a trip to Miami during the Easter vacation. A temperature of ninety-five degrees found me sun bathing on warm white sands with the roll of shuffling waves in my ears. Intoxicated with supreme comfort and idleness, I dozed and finally succumbed to a deep sleep. The noise of the heaving surf became the noise of Times Square. Being a true Bostonian, I walked with my head high, not because I was proud, but in order to see the tops of the mon- strous architecture. I was jostled, pushed, and stepped upon, but still I fought my way down peopled streets. As I was passing another Personal Book Store, a best-seller attracted my attention and I found Mary Murphy revolutionizing the world with her radical writings that constitute most of What About Tomor- row. It must have been the result of Mary’s admiration at Regis for the wrong writers. On another shelf Ruth Warnke’s poetic classic, Thoughts of the Past, has a firm hold on the reading public. Ruth has inaugurated a new form, a mixture of blank and free verse. While I battled aimlessly through the milling mobs, office buildings projected themselves upon my consciousness. Since I was jobless, I entered one of the nu- merous employment agencies. Imagine my surprise to find Mitten and Ford on the door. The two Marthas occupied an im- posing office on the twenty-fifth floor of the Maxwell Building. Above the door hung a gilt-edged motto: If we can’t fix you up with a job, we can fix you up with a date. Many a heartache would have been eased if such a system had existed in 1940 . Leaving the offices of Mitten and Ford, I found the former Betty O’Donoghue and Ruth Knodell on their way to peruse fash- ionable Fifth Avenue shops. Ruth is as Frank as ever and Betty has a daughter who now wears her Sodality medal. Farther along the crowded street, I saw Doris Paradis, still laden with French, Greek, and Latin books. She told me that May Cabeceiras is a drama critic for the New York Times and is, as ever, haunted by the dead-line. Catherine Considine, I learned, is teaching in a liberal arts school with Doris. After acquiring these newsy bits, I decided to stop at a library in order to see if it could compare with that of Regis. There, seated erect behind a high desk, sat that ex-English major, Mary Browne, who, between charging books, is still writing nonsense rhymes. After whispering with Mary amidst much coughing and annoyed glances, I busied myself with the latest “Who’s Who, which happened to be open on a near-by desk. There in black and white was the ad- mission that Mary Ford was an historian of good repute whose advice was much in demand regarding the recent foreign situ- ation: whether to exile a certain petty agitator called Hitler or to let him remain in the little village outside Berlin. Above Mary’s name I glimpsed Pat FitzGerald, who is renowned for her scientific dis- covery: ant powder is not always fatal. Turning more pages, I found Julie O’Brien, now married and still a staunch Holy Cross supporter, recognized by authorities because of her research work for a famous hospital. Leaving the library, I knew that I had just sufficient time to catch the Boston train. Immediately the train came blowing and shuddering into the Grand Central, swept up its passengers, and was off. Settled in a comfortable chair, I took note of my surroundings. [ 168 ] MOUNT REGIS Directly across the aisle was Peg O ' Con- nell, whose son was causing her an anxious journey from Chicago. Peg showed me a clipping describing Kay Buckley’s barn- storming basketball team, undefeated since 1940 . Upon exchanging news items and notes, I found that Janet Ahern really did go domestic and gave up social service work as did her former roommate and friend, Eileen Moynihan. More social service workers, Marie Dillon, Mane O’Leary, Mary Shea, Connie Gough, Mane Scanlon, and Muriel Joyce, have all settled down to normal living. Mary Kerr and Ruth Bateman are still representative Regis girls in down-trodden districts — -helping par- ents and educating their children. Gladys Kiely, I heard, parlez-vous’d her way to the Pacific coast where she ac- quired a permanent position; she is the better half of a flying commander. Also on the west coast are Margaret Madden, Gert McDermott, Agnes McKay, and Alice Herlihy. Midge,” after a successful season with the Metropolitan, is now un- der a movie contract. Gert, Agnes, and Alice have opened a school of design in Hollywood, which is connected with Metro Tone Studios. Agnes is still making hats while you wait. At the South Station I left my friend to do some much needed shopping. At a Newbury Street address was Mary Guth- rie ' s exclusive shop. What else could hap- pen to the commentator on fashions for the Regis Herald? Mary is still the belle of any group. She told me that Louise Lorrest has skied her way into headlines. Because Louise was finally convinced that she could be mistaken for Sonja Heme, she took up skiing; now we have a Sonja who is never on ice. Her friends, Dot Golden and Mary Hastings, besides managing Louise’s tours, have a nursery school. I think that Dot McGarry received so many calls from Philadelphia that she decided to move there and begin housekeeping. She says that person to person’’ calls are a terrific expense. Tea time came around and I wandered into a select tea room on Dartmouth Street. The joint owners were none other than Mary McManus, Eleanor Coppinger, Claire Griffin, and Helen Murphy. Eleanor wanted to call it Ken ' s, but a Sandy Burr establishment objected. After I had given my order of tea and crumpets, Ka O’Sullivan, with Jo Wyman and Ruth Melanson, joined me. Jo said she married a King, but fears no uprisings. Ka owns her own stables and spends most of her time traveling. Ruth, who is also married, informed me that Mary Brennan and Lucille Carey are private secretaries to a prominent lawyer. Lucille finds herself involved with ‘‘government’’ most of the time. Also, Virginia Irwin is personnel manager at Cronin’s. News travels and so does Miggie Burke. Her impersonations have carried her a long way on the road to fame. Next to the tea house was a hairdressing shop owned by Jeannette Levangie and Virginia Lerraro. They developed such an excellent reputation at Regis that they decided to make it their life’s work. In the midst of soap and hot water Virginia whispered to me that Mary Sampson and Mary Duffy have founded a summer school for anxious history majors. Beneath the dryer next to me was Betty Donovan who said her namesake Marcy is still torn be- tween two loves. At a near-by manicure table sat Gert McCourt with that finger adorned. Gert was preparing for a visit to Rhode Island to see Margie Carroll who also need not read Live Alone and Like It.” Lrom all reports I should say Saint Ann did right by Regis. Some of the old graduates, however, persevered and clung to their careers. Doris Belliveau has returned to her native habi- tat and is teaching at the Sorbonne. She wrote to Eleanor Llaherty, who is now a famous club woman and lecturer, and told [ 169 ] N INETEEN-FORTY her that Marion Quinn ' s show opens shortly in London. Marion will revive that old song “I’m a Dreamer Aren ' t We All?’’ With the same company are Irene LeMoine, who tired of looking for “x,” but still seeks a missing “button,” and Ruth Williams whose skit Romeo and Juliet makes even the English laugh. Rejuvenated under the capable direction of the Misses Ferraro and Levangie, I ventured forth to browse about the shop- ping ciistrict. Frances Ryan, Betty Mc- Quillan, Mary McDevitt, and Helen Connolly evidently had the same idea. From this group, I learned that Helen had a secretarial school and her best teachers were with her. Eileen Winchester was the personnel director, assisted by Pauline Murray. The conversation tended toward the career of Rita McNeil who left the quest of learning for a stage career. Rita’s character portrayals are drawing much favorable comment. Another Regis- ite who continues to be in the public eye is Dot Whelan, whose flashing smile greets us from every magazine cover. Soon a window display caught my eye and I found myself rubbing elbows with Beah Hogan who was here for a visit. Beab teaches English in New York. She has the ideal English class — each pupil is entitled to her own opinion. Beab said Leona Macdonnell may be heard over a national network in the radio drama “Calling Dr. Foley.” Later, on the same station Margaret McDade will give a series of lectures entitled For More Ef- fective Study.” Bunny Sullivan, looking extremely prosperous, came along at this point. Bunny said it was hard at first try- ing to decide and she almost had to resort to straws. However, she is convinced that she chose the right husband. Coming out of an adjoining store was Adelaide Quigley with her red-headed daughter. Adelaide always was quick- tempered; that is, she was always seeing “Red.” Here was a new source of information. Alice Stauffer could not have been a sister” to Brother” because she married him. Jean Mclnnis, who did not travel to Yale for the ride, married an alumnus and still thinks “life is truly wonderful.” Of all people, Mayrose Smith is in Puerto Rico — and she used to tell us she didn’t know her Spanish! Her friend, Helen Shedd, made history but never did it. Helen is a well-known model, now in Paris. The Class of ’40 was truly a versatile class and very different. The next day I boarded the New York train and again was swept on with the human tide. I wandered over to Beachie Cunniff’s and found Eunice Burrill there “cutting her housework.” Beachie said she was domestic always and could not see any point in a business career — but that is a question of nice work if you can get it. ’ ’ There was a letter from Yvonne Normand- eau who definitely enjoys married life in Concord. She said her son will go to Saint Anselm’s when he ' s old enough. From the same source I discovered that Alice McSoley was not jesting when she said she intended to enter the marriage state and live in Rhode Island. A visit to the Aquarium seemed inviting so I made that my next stop. There, dili- gently studying the fish, were Mary Hoye, Phyllis Palmer, and Evelyn Crowell, still enthusiastic biologists. Chris McKenney was present also, but only out of curiosity. She said being a private secretary takes up all her time. Chris had a letter from Margy Sline, who became tired of teaching and found keeping house” more fun. Louise Silvia, however, still revels in Chaucerian stanzas. In the same school Ruth Monahan lords it over an education class — her stu- dents are permitted free speech. Elsie Grady supervises a recreation center and specializes in basketball. The Aquarium held no more interest for me and I left in the pursuit of other joys. Passing one of the theatres, I noticed [no] MOUNT REGIS Peggy Cahill ' s name emblazoned on the outside. Peggy was doing a musical with George M. Cohan. Connie Dever had one of the leading parts. While I was studying the program, Connie appeared, the same as ever despite her success, and told me Judy Byrne married that B. C. graduate who took more of her time than shorthand while at Regis. Gerry Burke was teaching in a certain New England town for a while, hut finally said “Yes” to one of the natives. New York hath its charms but — . Teaching is Palma DeBaggis’ specialty, for she is still pursuing Virgil ' s flights. Millie Des- mond, I understand, gives health courses with great success. Walking aimlessly, 1 found Mary Savage now a successful accountant after hectic days at Regis. She told me that Helen Peters and Mary Dwyer have their own laboratories. Speaking of laboratories, Marion Higgins has one in Martha’s Vine- yard where she is doing research. Eleanor Rock ceased to be pessimistic when she made a “good catch. Then, Barbara Norton came in sight with that Holy Cross graduate. They were celebrating their tenth wedding anniver- sary. Also leading “double lives are Mary McKiernan, Ellen McGrath, and Madeline Creedon. Peggy Brady’s Home Ec” helped her to be the perfect wife. Later I met Florence Deary on a shop- ping tour and she is still telling those stories. Mary Cavan is superintendent of schools in Lowell. I think that must be the result of Monsignor Quinlan’s educa- tion course. Mary was a star pupil. I learned also that Dot McNulty married a uniform and delights in polishing the buttons. The Freels, Alice and Mary, have a hotel in Clinton; its best asset is its late permissions for guests. Eleanor Harrington works for an author of best-sellers and says she was surprised to find he is like other people. Going back to Times Square, I chanced upon Echo Bailey who is the new assistant to Professor Euclid of the Science Depart- ment at Harvard. At this point the clouds opened and a deluge followed. Echo told me that Elizabeth Bagley has a camp on Lake Winnepesaukee and in winter returns to Florida. The rain fell faster and faster, automo- biles roared past me, shuffling feet echoed in my ears. I sat up, my best bathing suit was ruined. (It was the type one wears, but never gets wet.) The tide had taken great strides since I saw it last. Confucius say: “She who wait for tide to come in, never left high and dry.” I arose feeling ten years older, but slowly Time slipped back and again it was 1940. Marie A. McCarthy, ' 40 [171] nineteen-forty Commencement Ode Wirh banners high Against the challenge of Life’s course we stand. A torch, deep dipt in faith, with learning lit Is tended each, to limn our pathway toward The bourne of heavenly peace. Far distant hills Re-echo ardent prayer and fervent plea, That valiant-wise we may in time infuse A faltering faith, inflame perchance a heart With love for God and for His creature, Man. Forget not Calvary’s price! Let not the plea unanswered go, but with Unfaltering trust the challenge bravely meet. The hills yet stand from which comes help divine. Fair shrines still beckon us to kneel and pray For guidance sweet from Nature’s only boast. Our minds, our wills are in our keeping still — Though long the way, though set with mortal lure, Envision e ' er the heights where dwells our God. Helen J. Hogan ’40 [172] M O U N T REGIS Tree Oration Here in the shadow of the Cross that crowns Regis and guards our most precious memories, we meet to render a farewell tribute to our beloved Alma Mater. We, who have received from her gracious hands an abundance of joy, of truth, and of beauty, wish to leave some enduring love- liness in token of our fond affection. And so we plant this tree, humble though it is, with a fervent prayer that some day it will blossom into a thing of glorious beauty, worthy to grace this campus we have come to love; that it will breathe forth its fra- grance on the air as sweetly as Regis has shed benignity on our lives; and that the rustling of its leaves will echo the joyous music our hearts have sung. Yet, this tree is more than a tribute of gratitude to our Alma Mater: it is a pledge of loyalty to her teaching — a symbol of our aspirations. The mission of the tree is to shelter all that come within its shadow: in the summer it affords the wayworn traveler a cool green shield against the blazing midday sun; in winter it offers a cradle to the soft white snows; it protects the grateful plants at its feet from the driving autumn rains and its friendly arms are open to welcome the homeless birds! Through every tempest it stands firm, un- yielding, patiently enduring each blast, yet never forgetting its mission of tenderly shielding any wayfarer that seeks rest beneath its uplifted piteous wing. Thus may ours be the Christian woman’s part in this war-torn world — to heal, to comfort, and to bless, through every strife remaining patient and unbroken, ready and willing to minister to the unfortunate. And just as the tree lifts its graceful boughs against the arch of heaven’s blue, offering untold loveliness to weary eyes, so may our lives soar heavenwards on wings of prayer and goodness — symbols of peace and hope to a distracted world. This is our ideal, an ideal far beyond the horizon of visible things, perhaps, but not beyond the horizon of our hope and our faith. For though, young and untried, we leave Regis, and, like our tree, we have yet to face the storm and struggle of life, we are prepared and willing to serve. For as this tree grows beneath the tender care of our Alma Mater — its roots firmly planted in her rich soil, whence it draws strength to withstand the winter’s blast and life to blossom into springtime beauty — so we, through the loving guidance and unselfish devotion of our teachers at Regis College, have been trained to steadfastness in faith, courage in duty, and love and loyalty in all things. From the Sisters of Saint Joseph we have received a true vision of what life can and should be, and the ideals and aspirations to make that vision a reality; by them we have been nurtured close to the Heart of Christ, whence all beauties flow. With humble gratitude to our beloved faculty, we smile, through the mist of today’s parting tears, and gaze into the future — serene, confident, eager to live for Him Who is our Way, our Truth, and our Life. Doris L. Paradis, ’40 [173] nineteen FORTY Thoughts on Sertum Laetitiae From September 1937 to April 1939 the American people recalled the events of the previous 150 years — when the early fathers of the Republic fashioned the Supreme Law of our land and established a government whose breath of life is its faith in God and love of freedom. Their endeavors are proudly enshrined in our Catholic hearts. What a thrill of pride we experienced last November, on the feast of All Saints, when Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, reminded us that our American Hierarchy was established a century and a half ago. In his brilliant encyclical, Sertum Laetitiae , he recalled the beginnings of our country. While a new nation struggled for existence, an old religion influenced its ideals. From the turbulent Atlantic to the calm Pacific, progress steadily made its way across the country with courageous men and women fighting deserts, winds, and storms. To add to then hardships, their crude caravans were constantly menaced by savage attacks; but no misery was sufficiently overwhelming to discourage these pioneers from continuing their wearisome migration. Yet, how often do we neglect to extol those Catholic men and women who surpassed the pioneers in their endeavors those who suffered untold agonies that the light of the Christian Faith might penetrate even the darkest forests. How familiar are the names of Bishops Penalver y Cardinas, Dubourg, Rosati, Garciadiego, and Alemany? To the vast majority of Catholics in America and elsewhere they are practically unknown. We forget too quickly that the Catholic Church was, and continues to be, an important factor in the development of our country. His Holiness, meditating upon the chronicles of American History believes “the triumphal progress of Divine Faith has conduced a marked degree of our country’s glory and prosperity. No annal would be complete, in tracing the history of the Hierarchy, without mention of the Most Reverend John Carroll, the first Catholic Bishop in America. His saintly life and patriotic fervor endeared him to the fathers of the new republic, especially Washington and Franklin — with whom he shared intimate friendships. President Washington’s adopted son, George W. Custis, disclosed the Archbishop’s character by saying, when questioned as to the esteem in which the Most Reverend John C arroll was held by our great patriot: “You are pleased to ask me whether the late Dr. Carroll was an intimate acquaintance of Washington. He was more, sir. From his exalted worth as a minister of God, his stainless character as a man, and above all his distinguished services as a patriot of the Revolution, Dr. Carroll stood high, very high in the esteem and affection of the Paterfamilias.’’ Yes, he was deeply appreciated in his own age — an honor which very seldom comes to a man in the short span of a lifetime! We seem to realize a person’s greatness only after his death, when praise can but flatter his memory. Mr. J. Moss Ives, in his [ 174] MOUNT REGIS historical account of the period between 1773-1789, tells us that the Bishop was not only the most potent champion of the principle of religious freedom and equality in his time but also the foundation stone of his Church — where he reverently laid the principles that gave birth to the new republic. The next century following the death of Bishop Carroll witnessed a stampede of approximately thirty-eight million foreigners who sought to partake of the fruits of an an attractively advertised country. Many of these immigrants were not mere adven- turers but peoples who sought peace and alleviation from the miseries of their native lands. Little did they dream that their cherished hopes were to be thwarted by a violent outburst of anti-Catholicism. Here in a land of freedom, convents were to be burned, religious subjected to untold indignities, and markets flooded with obscene literature, prejudiced with an irreligious heritage that saw its birth many years before on English soil. Yet, such actions as the disgraceful riots of 1830 served only as a means of strengthening the bond between our country and our Holy Mother the Church. The seed of the Word fell on more fertile land than ever. Our Holy Father praised the preservation and successful spreading of our Holy Faith — by sending words of encouragement to those engaged in any form of scientific or religious progress. On the glorious occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the Catholic University of America our Sovereign Pontiff expressed his ever-paternal interest in its educational development. The convocation of the Bishops and the issuance of his encyclical show forth the vigilance and alertness of the “Chief Shepherd of all the people. But the Church is a dynamic institution and her members, apostles! Thus Our Holy Father, having congratulated America on her great achievements, turns clerical attention to the problems still unsolved, to the tasks to be completed. Materialism, rationalism, and racial prejudice have taken deep root in our modern school system and young minds are being fed degenerate philosophies. We have a war to wage. True, we are not subjected to the horror of reviewing mutilated bodies or to the fear and dread of falling bombs as are our fellow Europeans. It is an intellectual war in which the enemies of our Faith starve youthful minds — refusing them the food of truth, though it exists in abundance. They propose their theories as soothing remedies for the ills of life. Divorce has been suggested as one solution. What has it brought us? It has lessened the dignity of womanhood, disrupted family life, and threatened to undermine the welfare of the State. Can we rest then on our past laurels? “The Chris- tian if he does honor to the name he bears, says our Holy Father, “is always an apostle; it is not permitted to the soldier of Christ that he quit the battlefield, because only death puts an end to military service.” Also of great importance are the difficulties arising from our distorted economic philosophies. With the emergence of our country from the Civil War, industrialism transformed society and introduced an era of trusts and monopolies with attendant abuses. A definite reaction followed, resulting in a tendency to seek remedies for these abuses in projects that savor strongly of radicalism on one hand and self-centered conservatism on the other. Unfortunately, labor had been reduced to the unflattering position of a mere commodity on the market -to be regulated in accordance with the rise and the fall of prices. Labor is not an inanimate object and cannot be abused for the profit of a few individuals or a particular class. It is justified to voice itself and to [175] react against such procedure. No one may deny truthfully that the capitalist has a right to his profit, but that personal gain must not precede the laborer’s right to a living wage; that is, the net profit must not be the factor in settling salaries— for the latter would fluctuate continually. Labor, in trying to correct abuses, has often overstepped its sphere and has de- manded more than what it may justly claim. Moreover, it has not concentrated enough attention on the danger of communistic domination, of executive positions which could be utilized easily to advance red revolutionary objectives, by way, perhaps, of a general strike. It is obvious that both capitalism and labor need to make concessions; and, until a norm is found, bv which both forces may be checked and controlled, friction between the two will continue to exist. Our Holy Father is well aware of the present situation in our country. He laments the condition of our social structure, which prevents able-bodied and willing men from se curing a living wage for themselves and their families — so that they may meet normal domestic needs. He urges the study of the encyclicals of Popes Pius XI and Leo XIII on labor questions that present disturbances may find their solution “in accordance with the postulates of the Gospel and our eternal philosophies.’’ Recently, the Bishops of the American Hierarchy answered Our Holy Father’s plea to organize our social structure along the lines of peace and charity. “With all our hearts we thank him for his guidance, and with such strength as we possess, we emulate his example.’’ It falls on each and every one of us to take up the challenge and weave a crown of joy for the Catholic Church in America. Our Bishops declared in their statement on today’s social order that to make our progress sure and effective, we must recruit and train leaders from various ranks of society who know the mentality and aspiration of their respective classes and who with kindly fraternal charity will be able to win both their hearts and minds. We have heard the call. The future of our great country rests in a large measure upon the youth of America. But we are not alone! We are fortunate, indeed, to have the counsel and guiding presence of such leaders as our own beloved William Cardinal O ' Connell. Shall we answer or turn away from a trust, wherein lies our life and that of our land? Mary R.

Music by the Schola Cantorum TO THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY Our first thought this morning is one of gen- uine and prayerful gratitude to Almighty God. We thank Him, the Author of all that is good and holy, for the many blessings He has con- ferred upon this College, which is so dear to all of us. Almighty God has blessed Regis College be- cause it is dedicated to a noble and holy purpose. That purpose is to cooperate with divine grace to form Christ in the souls of the young women who come here to learn the mysteries of God ' s wisdom and love. Education is frequently defined as a prepara- tion for life. But life in all its fullness cannot be restricted to things earthly and material. The human soul seeks completeness of life in the unseen and eternal realities of the supernatural and the spiritual. Womanhood in a very special way finds its noblest and fullest expression in the lofty ideals of the spiritual and the divine. The virtues that we associate with all that is noblest and best in womanhood have their inspiration and their very being m spiritual ideals. Love, purity, patience, devotion, self-surrender, and self- consecration to God and to neighbor — these are the resplendent jewels in the diadem of womanly perfection and constitute the perfection of Christian womanhood . Our Divine Lord Himself sanctified woman- hood. He exalted woman in the person of His Own Immaculate Mother. In every age of the Church ' s history, women have been His most devoted followers and His most self-sacrificing friends. Today after nineteen hundred years, the noblest example of Christian perfection is still to be found in the generous consecration of the Catholic nun and the heroic devotion of the Catholic mother. 1 know, my dear graduates, that the one sentiment that dominates your hearts and souls this morning is one of heartfelt gratitude to all who have made possible your graduation from Regis College. You are grateful to Almighty God for the priceless blessing of a Catholic College education. You are grateful to your devoted fathers and mothers, to the Sisters of Saint Joseph , to the priests, and lay professors — all of whom rejoice with you on this sacred occasion. You carry with you the ideals and standards of Regis College which are those of all that are noblest and best in the glorious tradition of Catholic womanhood , which are so perfectly exemplified in the life of God ' s Own Blessed Mother — your model and inspiration . May you be worthy of this sacred heritage and may you at all times exemplify in your daily lives the ideal of Catholic womanhood which you have seen taught and exemplified during the four happy years that you have spent at Regis College — your Alma Mater.
