[ 87 ] Shades of the Past The pattern — intricate in detail — is rapidly emerging as a whole from the maze of color, which so perplexed us a short time ago. Now, only the outline is clear -the glowing red of Freshman zeal and the bland, cool white of Sophomore poise — hut, soon the last threads will complete the tapestry on which will pose — in clear relief — our lives. What of the thread that this year weaves into our scheme? Per- haps, a glance over our recent history will help us to determine its shade and texture. September — and we promised to reach a new high in achievement and an all time low in weight, for vacation had been more than liberal to many of us. Our two- year apprenticeship complete; now, an integral part of college life, we shared re- sponsibility in the person of our Freshman sisters. Gay, effervescent, witty, and blest with a sense of humor, we found in them “a very prop to our old age!” We turned from our latest to our oldest friends on Founders’ Day. This year, Octo- ber 2 had a special significance for us — it marked our last appearance “among those present” — next year. Cap and Gown Day would see the garb of Seniority conferred upon us. Hope springs eternal! From gown to gavel — for elections were in order and to Margaret McCarthy’s ’’solid” judgment and plane” reasoning, we left the solving of all problems.” W’e manifested a keen interest in the political life of the country and we did our share in furthering our chosen candidate in our owm inimitable fashion. The general formula seemed to he: talk louder, longer, and faster than the opposition and if she refused to be convinced, wither her with a glance. Party problems of another kind ab- sorbed all our attention as November brought many long weekends. Weekends of football games — dances; while a few of our more vigorous members took to the hills — others to spills; pride went before many a fall. From Thanksgiving until Christmas vacation, we were “wrapped up” in our work; but, as students practically unsung — for the Dean’s List saw only a few stal- wart souls making the new 3.5 average. N.B. (Eleanor Dever in becoming a model” student had achieved no little success.) Remember My Cousin from Sweden” with Peggy Brennan’s accent nearly pre- cipitating international hysteria and Santa Claus’ unorthodox entrance in a glorified laundry basket? Mirth gaye way before the solemn beauty of the midnight carol- ling and The music in our hearts we bore Long after it was heard no more.” X’acation — respite for the weary — boon for the social minded. One hackneyed phrase sums it up — tempus fugit,” or as one of the conservatiyes phrased it, a good time was had by all.” Backward, turn backward.” Mid- years were upon us — gloating oyer our haggard looks and furrowed brows. W’e hovered for two weeks on the brink of the “slough of despondency,” but our custom- ary calm plus many extra visits to the Chapel saw us through. Peace — harassed minds settled hard into blissful dalliance. Our reverie came to an end with the basketball season where intramural com- petition was keen. How well we’ll remem- ber the glorious 28-8 victory over our Sophomore rivals! Just about this time our horizon broad- ened to include another type of ball — for the Junior Promenade was rapidly becom- ing a reality. [ 88 ] Blitzkrieg? No — it was the Junior Class debating over the Prom situation. Con- trary to precedent, this affair was not to be held in the College; and the tradi- tionalists were strong in their protesta- tions, while the progressives were equally vigorous in their approbation. The matter was quickly settled — because like Topsy we had just growed and the Foyer was out of the question. The details of when and where we left to Peggy Brennan and her capable committee; we, as a whole, were more concerned with how. How could one become a combin- ation of fetrime fatale and unsophisticated ingenue in a few short weeks? The methods of procedure differed; to some it meant curtailing that desire for dessert; to others ten painful minutes of one, two, three, bend ; and to one innovator — a henna rinse. Our perspective outgrew its narrow, material bounds during Retreat, for Father McEleney, S.J., clearly pointed out real and lasting values. We closed our third retreat with ideals considerably higher and more noble — and hearts lighter in view of the two weeks of vacation before us. Then, what had been a mirage in our Freshman year — a hope in the Sophomore year — became the climax of this year — Junior week. As we knelt at Mass Monday morning, a picture of ourselves as we were a short time ago flashed before us — then we had come to pray for a successful col- lege career — now we prayed in thanks- giving. The Faculty Dinner, the Mothers’ Tea, under Mary Lou Healey’s competent di- rection, passed, leaving us in the rosy haze of pleasant memories. Oblivious to the attention we attracted, we went en masse to the theatre, and thoroughly enjoyed It in a most naive manner. Naivete was soon replaced by glamor, although it was of an ephemeral nature, for Friday saw the crowning event of the week — the [ 89 ] Prom. All the fears of the committees dis- solved — all our expectations were fulfilled — it was an unparalleled success, and so were we! Beauty too rich for (common) use, for earth too dear!” From the material to the spiritual — Earth had not anything to show more fair than the May Procession, and this year we were privileged to have repre- sentatives in the train of Mary’s attend- ants. As the year drew to a close, we reluc- tantly took leave of the Seniors. Their departure placed on us a responsibility that we were both pleased and loath to accept. This fact came home as we were measured for our caps and gowns. It was going to be difficult living up to the mea- surement of Seniority, but it was the inevi- table step — one we had envisioned, but one that had come upon us too swiftly. Graduation saw the fulhllment of a Sen- ior’s dream and the flowering of a Junior’s. This, in retrospect, is our story. It lacks the exuberance of our Ereshman year, but It has the quiet, persistent adherence to the ideals which have grown to be a part of us. Into our tapestry we have woven in quiet contrast to our earlier work, soft hues of silver and gold which blend with strength and beauty into the fabric which is to form the background of our lives.

Heath. so BIG Breathes there a Sophomore with soul so unimaginative who, on reading the open- ing lines of Dickens’ Tale of Tivo Cities, has not to herself exclaimed; “This is my own, my Sophomore year.’’ These immortal lines read : “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times; it was the age of wis- dom; it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief; it was the epoch of in- credulity; it was the season of Light; it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of Hope, it was the winter of De- spair; we had everything before us — . ’ ’ Before we had heard the words Ite, missa est pronounced in the Mass of the Holy Ghost on opening day. Father Harrington had reminded us that it was the best of times. W ' e had returned to the font of learning to cultivate our religious, social, and intellectual powers. As Sophomores we were to stride through the erudite halls of Regis for but one more year before reaching the halfway mark in our race for seniority. In a few days the worst of times inflicted itself upon the Freshmen more cruelly than it would ever besiege us sophisticated Sophs. The baby class was just about to gather some confidence in itself when ex- acting, sardonic Sophomore sisters im- posed a blitzkrieg of orders for black stock- ings, pigtails, candy bars, toothbrush- necklaces, and pillow cases full of books upon our newly acquired fellow students. Who could ever forget Eileen Burke ruth- lessly giving orders for operatic renditions in Auburndale Centre? Mary King, Alice Bronzo, Jane Monahan, Ann Horrigan, and Millie Trask profited, too, from initi- ation day. Thanks to the Freshmen’s rub- bing and buffing, their cars shone like the noonday sun. That evening we lustily ex- perienced a touch of the age of foolishness, when, under the able direction of the ever- vivacious Anna Hanlon, we demanded some side-splitting comedy on the part of the Class of ’44. “Gaudeamus igitur!’’ Recovering from our streak of folly, as full-fledged Sophomores, we launched into the age of wisdom with class elections. The patron saint of voters aided us and we emerged from a sea of ballots to find our- selves under the guidance of Kay Foley, Gerry Deveney, Mane Carroll, and Alice Sullivan. Mary Curran, Pollv Sharby, and Ann Lyons were honored with appoint- ments as ambassadors to Student Govern- ment parleys. On October 2, the traditional day for reception of the academic cap and gown, congratulations were in order for our sister class. “It won’t be very long before you will be graced with the same marks of dig- nity and learning,” they remarked encour- agingly. Proudly we stood beside our big sisters to be photographed before the en- vious eyes of the Freshmen. Let’s hope most of our friends had better luck with their pictures than Claire Sullivan, not one picture in her roll of film was developed! Nevertheless, this was our first real oc- casion to realize that college years are in- deed winged and fleeting. Scarcely two months of our second year of college life had elapsed before Rita Keese had selected a charming evening dress for the Harvest Hop to be held at Hotel Somerset. Everyone enjoyed herself (and we’ll also take the chance of saying himself) thoroughly. Anyway, Mary Hic- key, Peggy Kelly, and Kay Foley said it was certainly worth the trip from Wor- cester. Those endless, yet hopeful days before the Christmas holidays were made less anxious by numerous club parties and jovi- al gift exchanging. About this time every- one was helping Elbe Kelley to discover what Ann Cifrino had bought for her. “W’ell,” said Elbe, “as long as you say it’s yellow, but it isn’t a case of grapefruit and [ 96 ] it isn’t gold jewelry, nor yellow station- ery, I know it ' s a canary.” Accordingly, she bought a cage, and was she surprised when Ann presented her with a yellow sweater! They both had to admit later that the sweater really did look funny in the cage. Such a chronicle as this could never be complete without mention of Chris Con- nor’s gathering of a few (?) friends about this time in room 401. Some of us still in- sist that Chris and Rita employed Mary Hanlon and Ann McNally, our would-be chemists, to manufacture four elastic walls for the memorable occasion. Ah I the winter of Despair and the season of Darkness came upon us — blue books, black coffee, sixty-five per cent, and sleep- less nights. All Betty Cosgrove’s dreams were in Spanish, and Pat Burns was con- fusedly but nevertheless diligently engaged in refuting classicism and tracing the de- velopment of Kant. Ann O’Brien (the red- head) counted out questions on the true- false tests with the ditty: “My Mother told me to pick true, false, true, false, etc.” Joan Schmidt says her secret of success is to supplant early morning study by a restful sojourn in the arms of Morpheus. Such a procedure prevents her from being too “fired” with zeal. Before long, however, this winter of Despair vanished to permit entrance of the spring of Hope and the season of Light! Second semester had begun. There was a mass chorus of, “This semester I am turning over a new leaf.” It’s an age-old resolution, but only a college student can realize the refreshing feeling it imparts. The gay, Pre-Lenten Dance, plus a Roller- Skating Party, plus an excellent Freshman entertainment with enthusiastic basketball games to boot occupied our leisure mo- ments of February and March. Chris Con- nors frightened us all with the description of her new black and blue gown. We ex- pected to see her arriving at the Vendome in the disguise of a fancy bruise, but error crept in somewhere in our imagination (probably the result of an ambiguous middle term) and we were all astonished to find her perfectly charming in her black and blue. Perhaps, we had better clear up another feature of the Pre-Lenten Festival. That really was Chuckin’ Charlie O’- Rourke’s brother with Phvllis Daly. Just leave it to Phyl ! The second week in April saw us deeply engrossed in a Retreat under the direction of the Reverend John J. McEleney, S.J. Inspired with charitable thoughts and re- ligious fervors, we bade “adieu” to the halls of Regis for ten days of deeply antici- pated vacation. These ever-fleeting holidays found us soon returning to the majestic portals of learning, still persistent in our quest for knowledge. Now, Junior Prom plans were really beginning to materialize. The selec- tion of committees, chats about souvenirs, and descriptions of sequinned gowns brought us to the fuller realization that one year hence we ourselves would dance proudly beneath the streamers and irides- cent lights of our own true social debut. The spotlight frivolously changed its focus from the chiffon gowns and orchids and sweet peas of the Juniors to the Class Day exercises and Commencement of the Senior Class. Twenty of our most charming members assisted in carrying the tradition- al daisy chain for our genial fellow stu- dents and sister classmates, who in a few days will have added their degrees and their smiles of joy, mingled with sadness; a sense of our nearness to that all-important day plants new hope and confidence in the hearts of their admiring Sophomore sisters who still whisper softly, “We have every- thing before us.” Nancy A.

You, perhaps, might call it pride, but Time shall unfold what plaited cunning hides”; and, I fear if this fact were not uncovered, Clio herself would object. We, one hundred hfty m number, began our college career as the hrst class to have an Orientation W ' eek. Still a little stunned by the terror-riddled Scholastic Aptitude Test of the previous day, we came on Tuesday to unfold our pasts upon the registration blanks in Room 215. Then, with an odd symphony of emo- tions, we hastened to our rooms to meet her, who had been for so long envisaged on our minds, our roommate. All awk- wardness vanished as plans were fashioned and strangers became friends — mutually bound by the feeling of newness. Before Wednesday had given way to Thursday, the Sophomores had proved themselves worthy competitors of Grey- hound, Inc.,” by pointing out and re- vealing the history of each building, each tree upon the campus. Next was the most historic day of the entire week! The Assembly Hall became a veritable lottery to which one went and drew from the confusion a Junior sister. She, in turn, escorted each Freshman to the Foyer, where the underclassmen tried, with an almost obvious effort, to leave a favorable impression upon the members of the Faculty. The last day of orientation was no less eventful than the first; for, indeed, it was then that we decided whether the amoeba or CO. should win our affections, whether we would put the wrong endings on a German, French, Latin, or Spanish verb; and, it was then that we discovered how late we would be forced to remain on Friday. Like the discharges of a pistol, we ex- perienced in quick succession our initial meal; our hrst night with its confusing bells and chocolate frappes from the caf”; our introductory classes in which we be- came expert penmen and acutely con- scious that our Baptismal was only the runner up to our family name. I shall not stop to mention those exec- rable hrst study hours, which seemed so fleeting and yet so endless. October found the Assembly Hall trans- formed into a political convention hall — whence emerged the successful candidates: Ann Stanton, President; Eileen Kennedy, bce-President; Alice Sullivan, Secretary; and Helen Sullivan, Treasurer. It was not long before our minds were confused as to whether it was a particular term or a particular blond which annoyed us; for, on the evening of October 18, we tripped the light fantastic with somebody’s favorite brother at our hrst Regis dance, the Harvest Hop. [ 104 ] On the night before Thanksgiving va- cation the famous sweaters gave way to fornials as we all celebrated. Even December will shine forth for a dual reason. On December 5, we joined the ranks of Children of Mary in an almost celestial ceremony in the Chapel. On the last night during the memorable week before Christmas, the Freshmen serenaded the College, in the taper-lighted dining room, with Madeleine Canarie’s class song. After visiting all the open houses in College Hall, we retired — only to be hushed to sleep by the angelic voices of the Senior carollers. Although Silent Night was out of season, we still sang it after vacation during the crucial battle of the semester examinations. Somehow we survived with relatively few fatalities. In fact, we were able to celebrate our victory at the Pre- Lenten Ball at the Vendome. alentine season revealed more than a few mysterious hearts in the mail boxes. Indeed, the youngest class had its first night with our own Ethel Barrymore, Jeanette Macdonald, and Eleanor Powells appearing in the nick of time.” Trips to the Tea House and treats from home faded into the grim past as we tightened our belts a notch” and re- solved to keep our Lenten resolutions. Lent, however, was not entirely barren of Its amusements. Many Freshmen were sighted among the most expert skaters on the floor,” when Regis had its Roller Skating Party at Nutting’s-on-the-Charles. The religious atmosphere of the time in- fluenced the Glee Club with the presenta- tion, on March 30, of “Modern Madon- nas.” More than one of our ranks ani- mated the pictures. Upperclasses were not slow to realize that the blue and white team, led by Betty Farragher, knew how to throw the basket- balls right through the hoop, during the intramural games on Thursday evenings of March. Did we detect a slight limp on Mary Lou Gallen, Trginia Fredette, and Florence Urann — after they gallantly led the cheering section on these occasions? Three days of spiritual council brought down the curtain on a fin ; le of Lent — which will never quite be equalled. Then, off we went for our Easter vacation. Spring almost transformed us into social butterflies. As I glance down the pages of our appointment book, I find that first we vied with our Sister Class at the Junior Prom. Then, following our Class Banquet, we made our presence felt at the Senior Spread, a gala event tinged, however, with a note of melancholy. May will not easily be erased from the scrap book of our memories — since it was then that we witnessed our first May Pro- cession. To the Freshmen at least, it seemed that the ink had scarcely dried on our last blue- book when the morning of Commencement dawned. This ceremony left us rather stunned. Fortunate, we soliloquized, were those black-robed Seniors; yes, but, un- fortunate, too! Now arrayed in their hoods, the graduates had written the epilogue to their college days; our prelude only had drawn to a close — the rest of the book remains to be written in the golden ink of achievement.

To us who sit before the radios of the world and listen to the landmarks of Western Civilization fall before the onrush of detrimental scientific advancement, our reaction is, indeed, one of horror and indig- nation. We cry out for vengeance on the men who schemed destruction; and, vio- lence to those who execute it under their leadership. We futilely call on subjective policies and the useless statements of leaders to quell the strife that is tearing down the very foundations of the things men hold dear and sacred! What a sham of defense men can conceive, a defense to shed more blood, to ruin more homes — the very things we abhor. What a vicious circle man draws for himself! W ' hat a maelstrom of conflicts whirls all humanity in wild confusion! Like an inexperienced physician, we take one glance at the surface of the ques- tion; we note its appearance, then vigor- ously prescribe for the open wounds of the world! Outward indications are effects of an inward corruption. W ' hat is the cause of all this sorrow? W ' hat is the root of the evil that sucks the life blood of a generation? Like a reflex response, the answer comes back from the historian. Versailles, of course — oppression of twenty years natur- ally breeds combustion. Robbed of her Lebensraum, deprived of her life veins of industry, Germany sank into a distemper of hate for the oppressors — hate that rotted to revenge, that shot forth a muffled scream for action, that pushed itself up with the burdens of the world strapped to its back. Such was the decayed spirit of a nation that was crippled economically, politically, socially. Such was the anger of Leaders of the Present [ 152 ] a people who became the target for the greed of statesmen of a military triumph- ant Europe. These are the facts of history, the account of a revenge that took twenty years to ripen, the story of a man who rose to power as a “promised Redeemer” to carry a trodden nation from the bloody battleground to the pinnacles of European power; a man who was the offspring of a propagandist machine and “made good” on the job. Again these are the effects of a cause, one that does not lie in fact but is very much a living reality. The cause of the present turmoil is the lack of Christian life, the living reality which commands the prin- ciples of justice and charity — the Christian life — found wanting at Versailles — absent in the welter of statesman’s greed — men, who had a prisoner and stripped him of his booty. W ere none of these so-called peace- makers Christians? In name most certainly, but not when it cost the loss of a strategic seacoast or a resourceful colony. The only strictly Christian statesman in Europe in 1918-19 — was not invited to Versailles. Our late revered Holy Father, Pope Pius XI, was not requested to participate in the treaty at Versailles, he was conspicuously absent, he, who under binding pledge must observe not only justice but also charity, was disregarded when the conference was convened. Pope Pius XI is the symbol of what Ver- sailles wanted. He is the symbol of what it lacked to make its work endure. He stands before all the world as the model of the Christian life, the staff of sanctity, the rock of justice, the emanation of Christ- like love. W’hat is the trouble of the world today? Its ill is the result of the lack of justice and charity. W’e cry out against the peace- makers who effected only strife and more war. And why should we? W’e ask for peace with tongues that are black with angry words and souls that are stained by family discord. W ' e seek the peace of a nation, and we are disrupting the tranquillity of the basic unit of society — like the little child who tries to put the spire on his block temple while he pulls away the founda- tions of his work. If construction and Planning for the Future [ 153 ] destruction are contradictories, then our labors for international peace are wasted sweetness” until the peace of families is once again a national ideal. We are fools breathing on the wind, while the divorce courts remain crowded; and husband and wife revile each other. The American people are peacemakers? Folly! while the United States claims first place in the number of divorces granted annually among Christian countries of the world — and only slightly fewer than in non-Christian japan. What a distorted idea of peacemaking! How can we in sincerity speak of harmony and peace when the very pulpit in which we stand is flanked by the wreckage of homes, by dissension of par- ents, by the broken hearts of children? The basis of society is the home, the supposed replica of Nazareth, where Christ is the Head of the house, the unseen Host at every meal, the silent Listener to every conversation. This is the ideal home, the place to which the heart of man ever turned, the place that was hallowed by a family, guarded and nurtured by parental affection. the haven of peace and love. Yet the soci- ologists of today tell us that the causes of sin and crime are epitomized in faulty en- vironment, a lack of training and self- control that were the customary duties of the home. What is the trouble? Wherein does the modern home err? What we falsely have called progress is a bland retrogres- sion. W e have material success without a spirituality to keep it vital and living. What can the state do for national peace when it is built on the decadence of shat- tered and inert family life? The nation is a federation of states which carry out in their small units the wishes and laws of the central government. The states are outwardly pledged to the ideals of national prosperity and peace. But is this an ideal? To the majority of politicians this is a practical ideal — I believe in it only as long as It advances my selfish interests in life. W ' hy call this utilitarian instrument an ideal — when it is only right when I am right and if it destroys my success in this world, it is wrong, evil, and folly. The life principles that guided the ca- reers of our national statesmen of former The Winter of the Year [ 154 ] I times are falling from their shrines and smashing on the cement of the pragmatic code of life. It sounds very much like Ver- sailles on a smaller scale. How dare we stand and condemn the peacemakers when we would have done and are doing the same things for which we denounce them! Perhaps we are envious of their chance to carve up Europe when we are confined to smaller areas and lesser deals! What does our nation lack? Why can’t we effect a peace in the world? We fail because Europe is not the only land tottering on the edge of destruction. From their front-row seats on the other side of the Atlantic, Europeans can detect our mistakes, as we notice the errors of the actors on a stage before us. Statistics tell them that our families are living in houses, not homes; our children are sheltered from material bombs, but are left unguarded against the evils of divorce, family trag- edy, and parental dissension. The bombs hurled from the sky often miss their mark; the bombs thrown into family peace never do. Our outcry to preserve democracy re- echoes with a sneer from those who know — know that a democracy means Justice and Charity, not abandonment of the poor and aggrandizement of the wealthy; not throwing a crust to the unfortunate and putting millions into the hands of the greedy. Justice means equality — what an equation this would make if set down on paper! Yet, it is set down on the paper of a heart that pulsates with fervor for a nation that offers nothing to its outstretched arms. Charity means mercy — but the flood gates of Christian pity have been closed by the selfishness of the “haves.” Is this devastated democracy worth fighting for — worth defending against the onrush of other evils that appear worse but are essentially the same? We have sinned against democracy; we have scarred its purity by moral degeneracy; we have hurled It from the pedestal of a national ideal down to a form of governmental sur- vival. What is wrong with our national life, in the home, in the state, and in the world situation? The answer is a simple one. W ' e have lost, abandoned, and overthrown the The Spring of Life [ 155 ] Christian ideal of life, the ideal of which democracy was the closest civil approxima- tion. The lack of the Christian ideal that caused the overthrow of ancient Rome, that humbled the imperial glory before the bloody hands of barbarian hordes; the lack of the Christian ideal that made the work of X ' ersailles the command of an hour, that same loss of Christ in our lives is destroying Europe of today — and we are no exception. Christ stood with the summoned and in- fallible conviction of a God-man crying out; What God hath joined together let no man put asunder!” But, we turn and sneer old-fashioned” and divorce becomes the order of our days. Broken homes mock the ideal of Nazareth; immorality scorns the lily of purity; birth control laughs at the poverty of Bethlehem. Ours is living the modern way; times have changed, true; but, the ideals of Christianity are substances, essences, fundamentals for all times, all ages, all states of life. Time stands still and is one in the mind of God ho knows all, sees all, and judges every- one. Christ stood in Peraea and spoke the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican — told the generations that “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the king- dom of God.” Yet we smile pityingly at the philosophy of God and live by the school of a Stuart Mill, which supports our appropriation of whatever is practical for our advance in life despite the deprivation it causes others. Charity is passe; give where you get and get something real and material for everything you give. Selfish- ness is the acorn for a tree of vices: un- happiness in homes, poverty in the state, war in the world. The greed of dictators is but an enlarged snapshot of a pet sin. Selfishness develops with power and are we not sometimes dictators in our own small world? Do we not gain power, then use it to our own advancement, despite the crippling of another’s interests? Perhaps, we’re even tyrants without a crown and sceptre. Money and power are the material aids to spiritual happiness — they are means and not ends. W ' hen wealth and progress become the ends of life, happiness is lost before eternal life begins. Shared Pleasures [ 156 j Such are the ills of a democracy — the state we seek to defend by arms and sol- diers. Let youth take up its guns and march to the trenches of Europe! Let the modern scientists invent the greatest war machines the human mind can conceive! Let those left behind yield up their hard- earned savings to war relief! But, unless the war of matter is fought by a war of spirit, we are defeated despite the number or size of our apparent victory. Most of us pro- claim we tight to preserve the Western Civilization. Let us be sure we are part of the real Christian heritage of the golden ages of Catholicism, before we assume to defend a civilization that seems to be en- tirely unknown to our present mode of life. Unless the spirit of a Christian order of life impregnates the heart and life of every soldier who goes over the top, the W estern Civilization will be preserved only to suffer a greater disaster than it now seems to be facing. If we are defeated materially, if histori- ans chalk up a lost battle to our name, the cause IS by no means over. If we desire a renaissance of individual Christianity reigning and ruling over our lives, no gov- ernment of totalitarianism can stamp out or rob us of an ideal, no matter how many bombs are dropped or how many raids are organized. Unless the cry to save W ' estern Civilization signifies the preserving of the Christian life, it will be a boomerang that will return unchanged to the sender. How can we make this ideal real to our fighting youth? How did the Christians of the Middle Ages make the defeat of Mo- hammed a reality? The solution is the in- spiration of a womanhood that is pure, noble, and the flower of goodness. In medi- eval times woman was the reflection of Mary, the Queen and Mother of civiliza- tion. W oman was the motivating force that won the victory at Lepanto, that scattered the forces of Mecca, and made the onrush of paganism a wave that engulfed its own followers. Today another wave of paganism stands ready to crash over the ruins of a lost civil- ization. W’omanhood again must lend the inspiration that will make armaments have power; make soldiers trust there is still a hope behind their guns. Shared Honors [157 J Mary is our ideal of womanhood, our Lily of Purity, our Tower of Ivory, our Queen of Peace. It is to her our nation is dedicated. It is to us the W estern Civiliza- tion is given to keep, to treasure, and to return when the forces of paganism are crushed. Mary is the founder of the W ' est- ern Civilization; in her heart the Greatest Civilizer of the world took life. She gave Him to us; He gave her to us — we have them both — a single ideal for family, state, nation, and world — the ideal of justice and charity, self-sacrifice and love. Mary is our Queen, ruling over us; our Mother, guiding and protecting us. Let us turn to her. Our Lady of National Defense, to help us spiritually and temporally in a crisis that is personal to us and to her, the origin, the fosterer, the savior of civilization. O Mary, we have sought help in earthly things, in guns, in soldiers, in arms! O Mary, we have sought pleasure in the mor- al codes of Freud, in the pursuit of happi- ness, wealth, freedom, and worldly honor! Mary, we have erred; we need defense of earth and of Heaven! Distress has brought us to our knees, has made us see that reli- gion, the jest of a world, is the only stable and enduring thing in it. Mary, exhausted by our own efforts, driven to despair, we have recourse to thee, our Lady of National Defense! Mary, give us once again the W ' estern Civilization, give us the justice and charity to idealize it, give us the strength to defend it! Mary give us, as thou didst once before in Bethlehem that peace which the world cannot give,’’ give us the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ! O, Our Lady of National Defense, pray for us! Geraldine j. Murphy, ’41 OUR CATHOLIC COLLEGE EDUCATION It is natural for the College Senior, standing at the topmost point of college life, to pause, almost unintentionally, in reflection. Four years in a Catholic College — what has been their harvest? What will she bring forth with her as she steps out into her individual life? What have been the advantages of her Catholic College training? The first answer will, most probably, be a summary of four years’ academic training —of hours with notes and textbooks — of lectures and discussions. And that answer will be true enough. We, as college gradu- ates, are prepared for our life work, what- ever field we may have chosen. We have learned to ivork, to think, to act, independently and confidently. We have learned to cooperate, to sacrifice for the greatest good. We have learned to put something of ourselves into life, to give. But all the while we were taking, in abundance, from a storehouse generously and graciously offered — from a storehouse which has its foundations in the ages. Back to Aristotle and Saint Thomas A- quinas we went for our Logic and our Philosophy. W ' e learned the ageless truths of Psychology, and the proofs which lay behind our convictions. We studied the eternal guiding truths of Christian Ethics. On the more strictly academic side, the classics opened their wide doors to us. Modern languages and literature prof- ferred their benefits for our reaping. His- tory laid the past before us. The sciences made known their secrets. Could this not have happened elsewhere than in a Catholic College? The only an- swer can be, “With a vast difference.’’ For we have had unified principles to guide us. In the Catholic College there arises no question of disagreement — no question of a house divided against itself. The Catholic College head need never lament, as has Professor Hutchins of Chicago University, At Ease [ 159 1 that the universities are so torn, so divided against themselves. He has dec lared that the secular university suffers because it has no philosophy to unite it into a single whole. It has too many “other sides. We have seen only too often what various and conflicting theories can do to the searching mind of a bewildered student who has been robbed of faith and offered no substitute. Not only have we learned under the guiding hnger of Christ, but our professors have been His servants— men and women who have given their lives to Him, and who have given us, over and above intel- lectual guidance, priceless gifts of example. These will last long after many other things have been forgotten. These will re- main long after today’s headlines have gone down into oblivion, bearing with them the latest radical statement of a pub- licized “liberal’’ of a vast university. Gratifying as all these considerations assuredly are, our reflections pass beyond the “practical” gains we have reaped, to another, and perhaps the most practical of all. We are about to pass from our hitherto more or less sheltered existence into life, figuratively speaking, into the world. And the world in nineteen hundred and forty- one is a complicated, bewildered, war-torn globe. College Seniors in previous years have gone forth into economic uncertain- ty; college seniors this year appear to be stepping into a world which is crashing down about its own ears. ' ery easily and obviously one might pic- ture the Senior as thinking, “ hat can 1 do in a world which is bent on destruction? How can 1 be successful in a world which has no time for the pursuits of peace for which I have been trained? Is this mad sphere the place 1 have believed and trusted in, in which 1 was to make my mark? Can it have been worth my effort? hat does it all mean? On the face of things as they now ap- pear, in a world which is harassed and harried by war, seemingly dominated by men who prefer to rule it by hate, uncer- tainty, war, and greed, the youth of today might well be discouraged and disheart- ened. And if we thought that we had no other end than material satisfaction and happiness, material success and recogni- tion, well might despair and frustration represent our emotions at this time. But we are Catholic College graduates. W’e have been taught to see life in its cor- rect proportions. W’e view it as it stands beside the awfulness of eternity. W’e are adherents of Catholic thought, and Catho- lic thought faces life honestly, and with a positive conviction of “what it is all about.” W’e are not blind to the still continuing effects of “man’s first disobedience”; neith- er are we blind to the fact that there existed and still exists “one greater Man.” War-wracked and blood-stained as the world is, we know that life is worth the struggle, small as our chances of material success may appear. For we know that we were put on this earth for one end — to serve God, and we know that nothing in the world can prevent our achieving success in this end if we ourselves do not allow it to do so. Whatever our environment and contem- porary world conditions, service of God — directly, and indirectly through our neigh- bor, can be accomplished. It is not that we cannot see beyond the end of our noses, but rather that we can see far beyond — to the ultimate End. It is not that we shall go through life selhshly, or ignorant of what is going on around us — but rather with eyes wide-open to everything, seeking to do all that we can, and to do it perfectly, in honor of the Father W ho put us here. Particularly do we realize this today when the world has been made a battlefield through human prejudice, hatred, and dis- like, in such bitter rebellion against Christ’s principle, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” W’e realize that it is for us as individuals to do our best by [ 160 J action and example. It is for us as individ- uals to hear the precept, “Be ye perfect,” and to follow it to the best of our ability. Thus do we contribute our small particular part to the status of the world in the eyes of its Maker. Thus do we help our fellow- men in one particular way, as well as in whatever way may be assigned to us in the event of our being called upon to suffer what others all over the world are suffer- ing. We know that dismal as the temporal future may appear, bleak as the outlook from the threshold of nineteen hundred and forty-one may seem, words spoken nine- teen hundred years ago still resound, “I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly. We know that the words still ring true and that whatever sacrifices the gaining of that life may en- tail, it is worth them. Catholic College women can face the future — not in despair, not in rebellion, not in cowardice — but with calmness of spirit, and with zeal of body to do their share. W’e do not idealistically intend to set the world on fire, but rather the opposite, in a world which seems to be already too much on fire. W’e know that each one of us has her own particular hill to hold for God; each of us is determined to be able to say at the end, “The hill is mine,” held in the service of men and, ultimately, of God. Father Daniel Lord has stated the matter very clearly, for he has declared that Christ lived His life as an example that we may follow, gave it to prove that the life to be won through death is worth any suffering, and rose in the glory of a resurrected life as an assurance that no tomb can hold the human soul. As students of a Catholic College, we have sat at the feet of the Master. W ' e have studied in buildings crowned by His cross, which has always pointed upward, and whose arms have been all-embracing. His chapel has been but a step away — the red fire of the sanctuary lamp our strength and standard against the red fire of war and false philosophies. His servants have been our masters; they have shown us how to labor unselfishly and confidently; they have fed and stimulated inquiring minds. We have learned how to meet life — with confidence, zeal, hope, and calmness, gained at the feet of Him Who said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” in a College which has for its motto, “Via, Veritas, Vita.” Mary E. Shay, ’41 [ 161 ] My Hope, the Infant King You hang upon the Cross, my Lord, I cry. They lash You, Christ, my precious life, I sigh. They sinned, I sin, and for You I should die; I cannot yet — and so for You I cry. But, tiny Babe, You raise my heart; I sing. No longer am I sad; just joy I bring. So tiny, weak, yet — oh so brave; I cling To You. You give me blessed hope; I sing. Grace E. Morrissey, ’41 Players at Work 1941 ' S BOOK -SHELF OF MEMORIES W’e do not object to the wind and the rain — Patches, my faithful canine friend, and I —but when Jupiter and Zeus exhibit their prowess by tossing thunder-bolts through the heavens and the rest of the Olympian gods play ten-pins, we dash to the nearest shelter. Here we are! Why, it is a small branch library! Let’s browse. Be still. Patches, while we creep into the reference room. How still it is. Look, Washington Irving’s Sketch Book. In this he says, Ships, ships, I will descry you Amidst the main, I will come and try you. What are you protecting. And projecting; What’s your end and aim?’’ He goes on to muse, As I saw the last blue line of my native land fade away like a cloud in the horizon, it seemed as if I had closed one volume of the world and its concerns, and had time for meditation before I opened another.’’ This sounds like our first journey to Regis. And our College life could very easily be compared to a sea voyage. Even now I can visualize how we would say. . . . A boat and a four years’ trip! Adventure! Let’s register. And eighty-six of us did. Thereupon, we were given a list of sup- plies to purchase. In amazement we scanned it to discover that we were to have twenty-two items for biology alone! Then, we had to sign yellow cards for each Superior Officer. None of us could possibly have traveled incognito after that. Hounded by memories of initiation, accompanied by bunk-making and room- cleaning, we decided it best to protect our own interests — not by an insurrection and complete overthrow of the existing order but simply by electing Priscilla Neville as President, Peg Joyce as Vice-President, Mary Deveney, Secretary, and Pat Burke, Treasurer. After that we were tendered a party by the Junior members of the crew. With ad- Workers at Play [ 163 ] mittiince into the Sodality, no longer were we ostracized, no longer did that sacro- sanct group morosely murmur --“A Fresh- man, no medal. At certain times we were granted shore leave, and we dashed to the metropolis of W’eston. Mercury, the winged god, must have loaned his swift sandals to Father Time, for here it was Spring. But, before our two weeks’ fur- lough at Easter, we turned our thoughts inwardly and truly contemplated Our Father ho created the stars which were guiding our voyage. Upon our return there was an air of vitalizing excitement — the Junior crew was to hold its annual dance. Oh to be an Irving Angler and to return with the Pride of the Village.” Afterwards, how- ever, upon seeing the faded corsages, our nerves cried for a journey to Sleepy FIollow. But no rest — we had yet to survive the rigors of the gym” exhibit where we showed Traits of Indian Char- acter. W ' e were definitely unhtted for the part, because Irving says, His nature is stern, simple, and enduring, fitted to grapple with difficulties and to support privations. Time changes all things! Again later, with examinations for ad- mittance to the second year crew did we not bewail The Mutability of Litera- ture? Then, all too soon on a starry night, we raised our voices in song to the de- parting Senior crew. But how cruel of us! The ship’s log records — free ice cream afterwards, and on we sailed into the second year of travel. Our journey was scarcely begun when a gale docked our vessel for repairs sans light, sans water, sans food. After recon- ditioning, we began work in earnest upon our chosen assignments. Table talk was now a babble — and who said that History was better than English? But what’s this — our Junior mates clad in Senior Officers’ garb? Also new heads for our crew — Mary Lee, President, Mary Deveney, hce- President; Peggy McKeigue, Secretary; and Phyllis Crowley, Treasurer. We must have a Diesel engine in the ship, for the spray of time is flying with ever- increasing velocity. But, who can worry about white-bearded Father Time when we see Philosophy and the five proofs for Anti-climax of a Dream [ 164 1 the existence of God? Why do some people have to be skeptics? Now, if they all had faith like us; but, what is the use? We shall always have the new demerit system to heckle us. The need was felt for Father Fitzgerald, as Retreat Master, to rescue us from the chaotic squall of despair. Later we saw our classmates serve as a Daisy Chain for our departing sisters, as they slowly wended their way down the gang- plank to leave the ship behind. They have gone. A new crew is at the helm. These were to captain us through our third year’s voyage. We, with Grace Morrissey as President, Phyllis Sheridan as Vice-President, Mar- tina Sullivan as Secretary, and Eleanor Sline as Treasurer, acquired a new family — Freshman sisters. Now, the air buzzed with the rhythmic cadences of creative poetry, of talks about the Sociology field trips, the book fairs, museum visitations, the Mothers ' Bridge, the first wedding in Regis’ Chapel. Furtively we heard terms like psychopathic, neurotic, matter, form, soul. The latter, the individual soul, was cleansed by the moving retreat conducted Realization of a Hope by Father Foley. So impressive was he that some one wanted to found a Jesuit Order for Women. Easter arrived with its new hats, new dresses, but no beau — for the Prom. Udth Peggy McKeigue as Chairman comman- deering Junior Week, the ship was dry- docked. Diaristic accounts assert that only by superb effort could we study. The Lecture Bureau, led by Phyllis Crowley and consisting of Geraldine Murphy, Flelen Cleary, Marjorie Goodwin, and Mary Gallagher, was sorelv distressed at missing the Theater Party, arranged by Virginia Burke. With “our day” approach- ing, we sighed to be the W ' ell-Beloved,’’ analogous to Thomas Hardy’s title of such great promise; we felt as though we were in “Second Spring,” and wished that we knew “The Boys of Mirthfield Acade- my,” whose antics were a source of plea- sure in our Dads’ day. Finally it came, we saw, and we fell — into a post-Prom lethargy until the May Procession, brightened as it was by the swishingly modest gowns of the Juniors. But exams then urged us simply to follow [ 165 ] ' erne’s advice and sink “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” We remained afloat only to realize suddenly and devastatingly that we are now at the helm; we alone are to guide the vessel in this, the fourth year of the trip. The solemnity of this realization was brought saliently to the fore when, with due seriousness, we donned the black robes signifying seniority. Guided by President Mayrita Barry, Vice-President Mary Shay, Secretary Betty McElligott, and Treasurer Irene Thomas, we steered into the stormy waters of our final year. High on the bridge we saw Grace Morrissey, President of the Student Government, and Mary Deveney, Vice-President. We welcomed back “The Return of the Native,” Grace McDonald, worked fran- tically to submit our proofs on time, dashed madly for busses and trains on Wednesdays, and thenceforward vowed to read Hugh Findlay’s “Garden Making and Keeping” so that we could “get away from it all” and escape to Nantucket with Alice Roberts. This determination is forti- fied with the assurance that there is no snow on the island. Two English majors and two Sociology majors, rescued by Freshman Mary Feeley, will testify, upon request, as to the difficulties of travel to Boston in icy gales. With Christmas came the play. Such de- lightful men were Mary Lee, Helen Cleary, Marjorie Goodwin, and Betty Foley. And “Lo, now is come our joyful’st feast! Let every man be jolly Eache roome with yvie leaves is drest. And every post with holly.” Our “carpe diem” philosophy was, at least in this instance, justified, for after the Christmas festivities, “The Long oyage Home” proved to be a difficult passage. We had to buck the formidable waves of midyear exams. The gales of ac- tivities grew with ever-swelling persist- ence. There were club meetings, yearbook socials, lectures until we thought that the boat would burst asunder its seams from over-exertion. But a soothing note of spiritual peace and sublimation rocked the boat in the Cradle of the Deep by the visit of Father McElenev at retreat. After a two Recorded Splendor [ 166 ] weeks’ rest we returned to the restrained excitement attendant upon the Juniors’ care-free week — a realm whose gates, we felt, were closed to us forever. We looked ahead to the crowning of our own Queen of the May, to the horrors of compre- hensives — tests to determine our ability to command our own vessels, to our arrival at our port of call and the exciting sadness of last dances. Class Day — our official call to the colors, and to Graduation — the order day for dismissal. We had looked to the future, and it became a present reality. The time had come to disembark, to accept the challenge of a new life. But before descending the gang-plank, let us make certain that we have packed all our memories. Did you recall — the first proud appearance of our classmates’ — Patricia Staples, Marie Gregory, Gertrude Burke — objets d’arts; odors of delectable food as concocted by chefs Miriam Regan, Mary Hyland, and Peggy McKeigue; Mary Joyce’s Saturday Evening Post awards; Ellen Birchall’s and Julie Dennehy’s sailors’ lament about Physics; Phyllis Crowley’s six, or was it eight-point deer; Margaret Brown’s classroom epics about Hopkin- ton’s town inebriate; Prill Neville’s and Barbara Shannon’s mournful sighs about the poor kids ; Mary Mullen’s trip to the Massachusetts General Hospital; Mary Sullivan’s and Betty Dowd’s drive for canned food; Mildred Hehir’s and Pat Riley’s classical discussions; Mary Cos- tello’s dissertation on Tallyrand; and Mary Ward’s one green eye stories? It all seems so fantastically dream-like. Why, the wind has turned the pages. What is this? There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days. No greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise. Fame is the scentless sun-flower. With gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweetness in every fold.’’ What a sustaining thought to remember! Let’s go. Patches. It has stopped rain- ing now. Mary C. Gallagher, ’41 Splendor Recorded [ 167 ] OUR GLORIOUS HERITAGE W e, the Class of 1941, fully realizing that we are about to embark on a journey of no slight consequence, and fearing for the subsequent disposal of our treasured goods, do hereby pronounce the following to he our Last Will and Testament. To the College: In return for the culture and learning drawn from its ever-ahundant treasury, we leave our heartfelt apprecia- tion and loyalty, with the assurance of a warm and lasting love, which will far out- live any material pleasures we might pro- vide.

Peggy Keefe, our little “Ray of Sunshine girl,” offers her “Coyness” to Patricia Small. To the partners, Dooley and Lane, Ellen Birchall wills her Florence Nightingale badge, medicinal aids, and plenty of scien- tific advice. Marguerite Erickson leaves the art of being a “resident-day hop” to Marion Mulcahy, herself quite proficient in the art. To Regisites in general, Grace McDon- The Link of Sport [ 169 ] aid bequeaths her example of; “Go West, young girls!” Marjorie Goodwin and Mary Lee present to all future Dramatic Club members their new book, Hotv to Take Male Leads Convinc- ingly. Phyllis Crowley wills her powers in hunting and collecting — mostly pennies — to either a History major or a Sodality Prefect. Helen Sullivan is the recipient of Ruth Grauer’s notebooks — treasure-house of an individual literary style. Marie Gregory offers her pamphlet on “Maine the Marvelous” to Ruth Carlisle, plus a well-worn gym suit, memento of her athletic prowess. Betty Foley parts with her secret of per- fect grooming to any member of the So- ciology class.

Practice in Theory [ 170 ] Miriam Regan relinquishes her duties in the dispensary and all other “Home Ec“ tasks to Peggy O ' Toole. Mary Hvland wills her New Haven twang and her host of girl friends to any- one who wants them after four years. Gerry McGillicuddy’s long tapering fingernails are the gift of Ellie Nicholson, who is not weeping over the loss as this is one gift she can replace. One sour pickle and one comfortable chair in the “Rec” Room are Irma Stub- hert’s donation to Frannie Dever. hrginia Burke entrusts her inexhaust- ible and limitless “pep” and vitality to Anna Mane White. To Alice Cullen, Mary Shay bequeaths not only her genius in writing odes but also her ability for composing prize win- ning jingles. Betty McElligott leaves her Worcester “male” to Mary Bryan. On Carolyn Clark’s shoulders, Mary Joyce unburdens her ability to worry. To all new ski enthusiasts, Janet Hailer leaves a once-used pair of skis and a much- used leg cast. Peggy McKeigue wills her natural charm and winning ways to Carol Boylan. Marguerite Bisson leaves her love of German to Madeleine Canarie. To Mary Keefe, her colleague of three years, Grace Morrissey, entrusts her ability in Student Government meetings. To the College, Patsy Burrill dedicates her new book entitled, Christmas Carols and How They Should Be Sung. Kay Moran leaves the direction for find- ing the SPCC to her successor. Carmen Meehan. Anne Leary wills her moderate tempera- ment to Marion Messer. Mary Sullivan, after due consideration, leaves Junior’s much abused picture to her sophomore sister, Mary Witham; she is sure Mary will treat it as if it were a “Saint. Eleanor Sline relinquishes her energetic personality and flair for fun to Agnes Ear- ley. Mary Ward bequeaths all her major English problems and her rapid talking ability to Anna Kelaghan. Alice Roberts gives her unused round- Theory in Practice [ 171 ] trip tickets from New Bedford to Helen Higgins. Lucy Lyons and Betty McLaughlin — the Damon and Pythias of the Senior Class — transmit the word “inseparable” to Shirley Post and Gertrude Dowd. To anyone who might wish to gather a crowd, Irene Thomas leaves Room 301. To Anita Ennis, Pat Riley wills her beautiful cameras and all extra film to use when the Class of ’41 returns to Alumnae functions. Mary Mulligan leaves her wonderful ability for finishing everything long before the dead-line to Mary Murphy. Louise Barrett bestows her pleasing plumpness on Marguerite Macdonald. Dottie Mulhern donates her beloved beach wagon to Marj Halloran to transport all future groups from Jamaica Plain. Dottie, you know, will have no need for it as she “Bobs” through life. Mary Waters leaves her flustered dili- gence to Alma Leverone. Josephine Moran wills her terpsichorean exhibitions in the cafeteria to any aspir- ants of the gentle art. To the Class of ’44, Geraldine Murphy relinquishes a portion of her brain so that more can make the Dean’s List next year. Betty Young leaves her nickname Bee- zie’ ’ to anyone resolving to despise it as she did. Ellen Early bequeaths her ability to col- lect money for the missions and, at the same time keep her friends, to Margaret O’Hare. To all undergraduates desiring to arrive at Regis before nine A.M., we gladly part with our staunch friends and faithful es- corts of four years’ standing — the Newton Police. In conclusion, we leave to all a regiment of lieutenants in full dress to he on call for any dance or Prom. In Witness Whereof: W’e, the Class of ’41, have to this our will, set our hand and seal, this fourth day of June, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred forty- one. Marjorie M. Sullivan, ’41 W itnesses: Joe Draft Bill Dodger Boundaries Change [ 172 ] OBSCURE DESTINIES Tradition hovered around me as I pushed the footstool comfortably under my feet. Sitting before the fireplace in my favorite chair was a tradition now, a custom. Here in this setting, so much described by littera- teurs, I did traditional duties: opening mail, reading letters, perusing books. Ten years after Commencement, even tradition- al things seem slow and dull. Tonight was different; the afternoon mail had brought me the tenth reunion number of the Alumnae Quarterly . As I held It in my hands, I kept its mem- ories close to my heart. College came troop- ing before me, but I opened my eyes to let the present recall the past. There was the Tower in all its spring glory gracing the front cover, the work of Patricia Riley’s studios. A camera enthusi- ast in Regis, Pat made her hobby a profes- sion, establishing studios in New York, Philadelphia, and, of course, Lyndonville. It was useless to look at the staff. Grace Morrissey had captured the editorship last Customs Remain year, when she completed her thesis on the “Catholicism of Chaucer.” Assisting her is Mary Shay, still trying to decide how to divide her time between French and Eng- lish, but in the meanwhile revising texts for college editions. As I follow the dots to the Feature Edi- tor’s name, I close my eyes and behold Ruthe Grauer. The others of the biology triangle told me that we were fortunate to have Ruthe, today the New York Times contributor to the column “Take It From Me.” Business manager — well, Priscilla Nev- ille took it as a sideline job; real position as head of the New York Social Service School and according to Campus Notes, talked to the “Soc” majors at Regis a few weeks ago. No doubt, you are wondering where are the other Wednesday triplets? So did I, un- til the Quarterly told me that “Al” Roberts is in the service of Uncle Sam, as postmis- tress in Nantucket and a bachelor girl by [ 173 ] choice. The last of the triplets, Mary Gal- lagher, is among the Alumnae authors, having just published her long planned book. Social Workers Married and Single. Having had experience in both, we take Mary’s word for it! Thus is the staff, 1951 fashion! Every- thing has happened just about as might be expected — campus potencies have become post-graduate acts. From the Director’s Section of the Quar- terly, Peggy McKeigue smiles out at me. The word “Chairman” attracts my atten- tion. This time it’s Alumnae Pops. The Glee Club is listed; however, the names are all new and strange. Feeling like Rip Van Winkle, quickly I saw that Mary Wessling, a popular pamphleteer on Post-War social conditions in Europe, has arranged the musical program for the evening and di- rected the college medley. Among ’41 present were Martina Sulli- van with Margaret Brown. “Martie,” now Mrs., is striving to put into practice her course on “The Family.” Margaret, heard on the popular radio program, “Informa- tion Please,” is answering questions in- stead of asking them. Mary F. Ford, conductor of Pan-Ameri- can tours, and Mary Rita Ford, frequent patroness amid Ritz Roof society, add to ’41’s quota at the Pops. I’ve arrived at page ten — the Campus Notes. The charcoal sketch was done by Betty Young, who succeeded in taking Walt Disney’s place in Hollywood, but whose fame won’t let her forget her Alma Mater. According to Campus Notes the new auditorium has become a reality dedicated by Ellen Birchall, who, after five years spent gathering laurels at Johns-Hopkins, was recently appointed as Head of Regis’ Science Department. Honor of being first speaker in the audi- torium went to Geraldine Murphy, Ph.D., Professor of English at Northwestern Uni- versity and Pulitzer Prize novelist of 1951. On her lecture tour of New England col- leges, she will address Regis students. The student body still convening Mon- days at three, recently heard a lecture by Professor Morez Castellana, husband of Ruth Nagle, our lone Spanish major of college days. Following the lecture, the Castellaiias were entertained at dinner at the home of Marguerite Bisson, in Holden Green. Other guests at dinner were, of course, Fouise Barrett and her medico hus- band, Mary Giroux and Helen Brennan, both researching at Harvard in “Sociologi- cal Aspects of University Life,” for which they hope to capture a promotion in State “Soc” Department. Running my eye down a few more pages, 1 have at last reached the tenth reunion section title: “’41’sTen Years of Progress.” The History majors take first place. “Phyl” Crowley went to Brown and induced the faculty to give her an A.M. for a thesis on “Church and State,” and now she’s asking the questions! Lucy Lyons and Betty McLaughlin both became “girls of the Golden West,” but Lucy stopped to research for Warner Brothers and found a very compatible author doing the same — present address is Beverly Hills. Betty went to Alaska to teach the three R’s — present address is an igloo on some tundra around the Bering Sea. Last but not least of the History quar- tet we find Mary Frances Costello, head of the Social Science Department at the newly founded Pine Progressive School in Maine. Marie Gregory heads the athletic depart- ment and m addition manages Snow Ball Inn, famous for its winter sports. Among Alumnae wives of the last two years is Mildred Hehir, who claims that the poems of Catullus taught her the tech- nique. Betty Dowd phoned from the West Coast recently to announce her departure on a world cruise — she explained it was an extended honeymoon and promised us a feature story on it. “Dottie” Mulhern and Mary Sullivan [ 174 1 celebrated their sixth year of the “honor, love, and obey” system by a dinner party at St. Petersburg, Florida. Flying down to help them enjoy it were Mary O’Sullivan, a W’ashington Correspondent; Janet Flail- er, newly chosen art editor of Life; “Ellie” Linnehan and Elinor Nicholson, who un- derstand from experience how Mary and “Dottie” must feel; and the last of the “beachwagon group,” Mary Malone, voted “Prettiest Mother” on the South Shore, and Mary Graham, accompanied by her twin sons. Our secretarial majors claim their own column and strange to say their own little club which brings them together monthly for luncheon at Mary Hyland’s restaurant, The Kopper Kettle, the realization of Mary’s dream, where she plays hostess and has enough special dishes and smiles for everyone. Rose Marie Brouillette is now president of the little secretarial group and has effi- ciently reported that Mary Mulligan still uses vacations to catch up on sleep; Jo Moran, Betty McElligott, and Marie Nagle have all taken the “fateful step,” having murmured “Yes” more dramati- cally than Myrna Loy in “She Married Her Boss.” Marjorie Goodwin and “Dot” Carman teach at Bryant College in Providence, and “Dot” says she still knows how to “cut” her four o’clock class. From the section devoted to French majors, who after the battle of college proceeded to add to their laurels, we find Mayrita Barry, wearing her oxfords con- tinually now, insisting they improve her method of discipline in her new Academie Frangaise. Eleanor Galvin is the author of a text, French Poems for Beginners. “Marge” Erickson also has published a series of Out- lines for the Night Before Mid-Years, with a personal history of their success. Marie Conlon is still trying to decide which uni- form she likes better. Newsweek recently published the inside story on Irene Thomas’ new solution to bisecting an intricate triangle. Miss Thomas will speak on her theory at the Massachusetts Institute of Scientific Re- search in June. Articles concerning her previous work were submitted by Connie Dinneen and Eleanor Fleming, both con- ducting math research at the University of New Hampshire. “Fashion is not Spinach” as far as Gert Burke and Doris Ramos are concerned, for Gert is the copy editor of Vogue and Doris, a model for Lord and Taylor in New York City. Alice Gately and Anne Leary have become interior decorators with the slo- gan; “We plan your home for you.” Ellen Early, Virginia Burke, and Mary Lee have guarantee of their excellent work. “Ellie” Sline and Eleanor Bieler, out of devotion to Regis residents, opened a new spa in Weston with larger cakes and creamier frappes. Ruth Irwin, renewing the reporter’s duties of old Herald days, announced that Claire Cosgrove’s son resembles his mother and his one ambition is to own a Ford like his father; Mary Joyce calls her first daughter Grace, but regrets that she can never go to Holy Cross. “Ginny” Roche writes book reviews under the pseudonym of “Twink,” and has dedicated her sea stories to Grace McDonald’s two navy juniors. As I close the back cover of the Qtiarterly , I begin to understand what progress means — advancement of my Alma Mater, change in the student body and the destinies of old classmates. I sigh as the clock on the mantel strikes the hour of midnight. Slowly, I return to reality and my silent surroundings. Unable to erase immediately from my mind these visions of college days and former class- mates, I begin to wonder just how the 1951 Qjiarterly will look? Mary C. Ward, ’41 [ 175 ] Tree Oration We stand at the crossroad of life. Our collegiate venture is past history. The road of the future stretches ahead — it is inviting; it is repelling. It calls us to new pleasures, new triumphs beyond the shel- tered pale of sanctity and truth. It repels us by its false values, its disregard for virtue, its warped idea of justice. Our tree stands on the hills of Regis, guarded today by our care and affection, admired for its beauty, praised for its glory. But what tomorrow? It will stand alone in the world, to brave the snows of winter, to weather the rain and wind of years. Our tree will grow, strong in its trunk, supple in its boughs. It will be the shelter of mankind, the glory of our campus. The gardener will prune and pro- tect it, but the scourge of time will strip it of its beauty and test its essence in the acid trial of nature and the years. Our tree, gaunt and bare in the sight of men, will live on, feeding eternally on the life- giving nourishment of its Creator. This tree is the symbol of our past and of our future. It shall stand forever as a milestone at the crossroads of life. Today we too stand on the hills of Regis, shel- tered by the counsels of truth and wisdom imparted by the Sisters of Saint Joseph. But what tomorrow? Tomorrow we shall stand alone in a world attacked by the tempests of untruth and sin. May we grow strong in our will to resist; supple in our submission to God’s desires! May we be eager to pass to others the privileges of education and the heritage of Catholicism! May we turn back to our eternal Gardener to be pruned in the sunlight of His grace, to be protected by the adamantine of His fortitude! In the acid test of time, may we accept the cross of life borne in the shadow of the crown of eternity! Our tree stands at the crossroads of life. It means that we can never retreat, never turn back from the storms of the future. It means that we must conquer the years to come, by living the creed learned in the past. It means that material success is but a false reflection of eternal beatitude, the reward of a life of unswerving service of man and God. Tree, creature of God, you are the down- fall and the redemption of man! Today the Cross is above us, may we accept it; the world is around us, may we conquer it, life is before us, may we live it with the satisfaction of Calvary and the joy of Easter! Geraldine J. Murphy, ' 41 [ 176 ] Baccalaureate Sunday June 1, 1941 Celebrant, The Right Reverend Francis L. Phelan, S.T.L. Deacon, The Reverend Donald W. Whalen, D.C.L. Sub-Deacon, The Reverend Edward T. Harrington, A.M. Baccalaureate Sermon, The Reverend Leroy V. Cooney, D.D. Music by the Schola Cantorum TO THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-ONE Our Divine Saviour by His sacrifice of Self on the Cross of Calvary manifested His un- quenchable love for man. Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay doivn his life for his friend. By His command, sacri- fice will always be a characteristic note of every truly Christian life. The happiness on this occasion of your gradu- ation is the fruit of sacrifice. Now as alivays, this fruit is twofold, rejoicing the hearts not only of you the beneficiaries of the sacrifice but also the hearts of those who bore the sacrifice. Contradictory though it may seem, by sacrifice alone, through the Providence of God, man becomes richer in the priceless treasures which only God can give. The self-effacing lives of the Sisters of Saint Joseph have made possible the existence of Regis College, and the ever generous lives of parents have enabled you graduates to receive your education here. Such beneficence can never be adequately compensated, nor can its value be even estimated in terms of earthly ivealth. In- spired as such lives are, by the love and ex- ample of Him, Who, having loved His own. loved them to the end, the impossibility of adequate recompense is self-evident. Yet, in your hearts, as in the hearts of all the grateful recipients of sacrifice, there must be a profound yearning to express your gratitude in some substantial way. If so, that gratitude will engender an enduring expression of love and devotion to the ideals ivhich Regis College has held before you and trained you to attain. As yoti go forth, then, into a world, ivhere those ideals — those Christian maxims — are not welcomed hut sadly needed, be resolutely determined, cost what it may, that every phase of your lives will be governed by them. Sacri- fices will be demanded of you. Expect and ivelcome them, remembering that self-denial, inspired by love of God and God ' s Beloved is divine. By so living, with the help of God ' s grace, you will prove yourselves loyal graduates and worthy representatives of Regis College; you u’ill flood with happiness the hearts of all ivho have sacrificed for you; you ivill edify others and sanctify yourselves; you will serve well your country, your Chtmh, and your God.

[ 183 ] Commencement Ode When morning’s light began to dawn in red And gold, beneath the shelter of the Tower We came; beyond — the path we were to tread; And silently we breathed in that first hour A prayer of hope for our new day. The golden voices of the Tower rang loud, At noon, as then we stood beneath its height; And golden voices in our hearts rang! — proud That we had found the Way, Truth, Life, that bright Was blessed our day in friendship’s joy. The Tower’s shadow long has grown before The sinking sun, whose deep glow fills the air. Afar a challenge sounds. We know no more; It is our lot to stay. Forward we dare To step, with new-gained courage armed. Dusk falls, but in our hands we raise a lamp Aglow with learned faith. Down from our Tower W’e bear a sense of strength; of peace — the stamp. Firm Tower, of thee we make in this last hour A pledge to meet the challenge well. Mary Elizabeth Shay, ’41 [ 184 ] Patrons His Eminence iLLiAM Cardinal O’Connell Boston The Most Reverend Richard J.
