iu mam REGIS COLLEGE ARCHIVES ’ 5 ' § § § on the Highest Hill . . . Reigns a watchful sentinel guarding ideals and Faith — embracing what is true and upholding what is right. Regis, from her vantage point, surveys the ever- changing panorama of nature, mid Weston Hills — spectator of The setting sun, liv- ing air, blue sky, and the mind of man.’’ Regis was founded, in 1927, by the Sis- ters of Saint Joseph, established 300 years ago at Le Puy, in France. The order was begun under the expert guidance of Bishop Henry de Maupas, distinguished pupil of Saint Vincent de Paul, and the Reverend John Peter Medaille, S.J., successor to the missionary field of Saint John Francis Regis. To accommodate the steadily-growing community, an additional house at Lyons was founded in 1696. The calm interior of the convents was shattered by the chaos and terror of the French Revolution; and many of the nuns were guillotined. Those who survived emerged stronger in Faith and imbued with zeal for reorganiza- tion — which was undertaken by Mother Saint John Fontbonne. Six courageous members of the com- munity at Lyons were the beginnings of the Congregation of Saint Joseph in Ameri- ca. Coming to this country, at the request of Bishop John Rosati of Saint Louis, the nuns established at Carondolet, in 1873, the nucleus of this organization. So it is, that Regis upholds years of dauntless Catholic tradition and embraces centuries of culture. The Daughters of the King are proud of their heritage and proud to say that here .... SlbKsSBS? We are unraveling a four-year journey, where enduring and cherished reminiscences have overshadowed any sad interludes. lit •’«.� h tl t — As the poet would first set down his lady’s lovely face, so we introduce our leading characters, 122 in number. A slight digression from the bard’s thought — we present the scene, where we have recap- tured memories of favorite haunts: Regis Hall, Carondolet, the poplar drive, Cardinal O’Connell Hall, the Commerce Building — landmarks engraved upon our minds. The Faculty is here, to whom we shall always look for inspiration and with whom we have enjoyed camaraderie fine and sweet. I Ht ( v t I — We sing of special holidays: Founders’ Day, when, invested with cap and gown, we gained strength and poise; May Day, when we Seniors crowned our loveliest as Queen; and Commencement, the concluding stanzas to our four-year poem. This is our book; our story. Herein we have recorded our pictures, our personalities, and our merry recre- ations in order to preserve a lasting impression of Regis, scene of our collegiate genesis and exodus. We are leaders of other groups, traveling the same road and to whom we should always remain a living ideal, as we have helped them to recall all things rare and beautiful. THE 1943 MOUNT REGIS On the felicitous occasion of her Golden Jubilee, we, the Senior Class of Regis College, thankfully and reverently dedicate this volume, our 1943 Mount Regis, to Mother Mary Simplicia, Reverend Mother of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Arch- diocese of Boston — as a tribute to her untiring efforts to uphold the traditions of Regis, schol- astically, culturally, and religiously; in praise of her kindly interest; in recognition of her manifold contributions: and in gratitude for her benevolent counsel. Peggy and Mary Taking Inventory Poplar Drive — Pleasure Paved Passageway I would days of [ 10 ] make a list against the evil lovely things to hold in memory A wealth of memories colored with Hebian jollity is released in a streaming volcano of sketches, phrases, and jottings. Reminiscences always touch the keynote of sadness, shadowed with regret, but from the twofold nature springs a degree of retrospective happiness. Indelibly bound and closely interknit with our ideals, our standards, and our knowledge are these sets, these backdrops in our scholastic stage. Regis in the Spring, mid verdant foliage — cooled by distant sea breezes, in the Winter nestled under an immaculate blan- ket of snow, became the apex of our college life. Russet lawns and golden tufted trees enshrined us in the Autumn. We went dreaming past the grey poplar trees with Mary, Anne, and Rita — out to a widening world or back to a welcoming vigil. In secluded recesses, we enjoyed mo- ments spent with the Muses or in mirthful merrymaking. Helios smiled on our in- dolent hours — on friendships fostered in a sunny clime. Going through the portals of College Hall, we opened the door to ancient wis- dom — which has since remained unlocked. Through these doors of learning — we passed as fledglings to try our wings and to emerge four years later capped, gowned — winged. The scroll wherein the list is inscribed is unrolled; the script is still moist — the scene and the words presented are vivid and complete: faces, places, College Hall, Regis Hall, Cardinal O’Connell Hall — all stately, noble, Catholic. [ 11 ] Her floral patterns etched in multicolors, red, blue, and pink, Nature wove a tapes- try, in design — a formal garden, the carpet of the Spring May Procession. In the Fall, a wealth of flowers waxed red and gold — in tribute to the colors of our Alma Mater. A duplex personality unfolds itself as the gardens furnish the altars with guile- less white blossoms, a tribute to sanctity and purity, or nod and beck in welcome to wandering students. Conventional and stately in mold, they hold a love of con- geniality in their blossoms — a motif car- ried out also on the threshold of Regis Hall — where warmth and good friendship smile with Pat, Dorothy, Emily, and Helen — who, momentarily abandoning the fortresses of knowledge, are entrusting their hours to the custodians of leisure, mirth and good will. Formal Fat tans in Terrene Beauty Through the Looking Glass Informality — An Escape from Science dogwood The enchanted f reeded booh Mistress of Splendor — College Hall In Full Dress Suit Amid trees bedecked with fresh green leaves in Spring and snow-capped in Win- ter, stands the symbol of learning sur- rounded by rolling lawns. In the valley rests a reeded pool, near the horizon of hills and towers. In Autumn, falling leaves rustle bien- venue to returning students and “October’s bright blue weather” leads hikers to woodland paths. When Winter’s garlands cover the hills, potential Olympic cham- pions make Regis greens a ski jump and the reed pool a skating rink. But, soon the voices of Spring, the budding trees, the running streams, the twittering birds awaken all from a long Winter’s nap. W ith warm days, the first rose, and cloudless skies comes June. In a background of spruce trees and shrubbery intermingled with rhododendrons and dew-drenched lilac sprays, Seniors, in traditional Cap and Gown, receive degrees at Commence- ment and bid farewell to Alma Mater. talog ne lovely things College Hall — Whence Do Ebb the Tides of Knowledge Behind the stately portals of College Hall lie Freshman fears, new friendships, examinations. Sophomore sophism, Junior teas and Promenade, Senior wisdom, hopes, and aspirations. Within are notetaking in class, chatting in banner-bedecked rooms, waltz- ing in the Foyer, research in the Library, exercise in the Gymnasi- um, and prayer in the Chapel. Here, there is comfort for the afflicted, joy for the happy — re- joicing on Founders’ Day, honor for Mary at Sodality Reception, wreaths and holly for the Crib at Christmas, compassion in Lent, triumph at Easter, and joyous leavetaking at Baccalaureate. In May, Our Lady’s Grotto, colored by budding shrubs and new-born blossoms, calls with Nature’s alluring summons, “Bon voyage.’’ Chapel — Sanctuary of Prayer; Birth of Hope Across the Campus, lengthening shad- ows stretch — enlivened intermittently by luminous strokes of heavenly light. Regis is at rest; the Parterre is at peace. Tran- quillity descends upon College Hall and reigns undisturbed under the Cross of Christ. Quietly and serenely, with the comforting cloak of darkness gathered around her, Regis waits for the dawn’s grey light — reveling in untold content- ment and secret delight, far from the mad- ding crowd ' s ignoble strife. Bosom of labyrinthine dreams, guardian of nocturnal confidences, Regis settles down for the solitary night with the whispered promise to greet refreshed the blush of the eastern skies, realizing that “God’s in His Heaven, all’s right with the world.” the sea and the moon Smiling sun dances across the Parterre, brushed about lightly by a rollicking breeze. Regis is at play; the Parterre be- comes the hapsome rendezvous of college girls at treasured leisure, with laughter unhushed, gayety unbounded.

As we stand at the Library windows and let our eyes sweep over the familiar Cam- pus, a panorama of inexpressible grandeur unrolls before us. We travel out over the Parterre and across the oval plot of ver- dant grass, which is caught at the edges with shrub groupings, to the expansive greensward that fronts the Campus. Every- where majestic poplars meet our eyes — symbolic of Regis traditions. Fluted Co- rinthian columns periodically interrupt this view, hut we know, without looking, that everything at Regis denotes tranquil- lity. Retiring to the left wing, down corri- dors echoing with laughter, we perceive a broader, fuller view. Cresting the hill to our right is Regis Hall, the home of music Dusk and Hovering Shadows — Looking Through Study Windows lovers and the popular club quarters — where linger fond memories. Here, in the spacious sun parlor, hidden talent came to life at club entertainments — Chaucer vied with Milton for preeminence and Demosthenes refuted Cicero, at heated dis- cussions. Standing out in bold relief against the clear blue sky is the Norman Tower — stolid in its stony greyness; impressive in its awesome height. From it, Carillonic chimes ring out the changing hour and intone the Angelus. Rounding the bend at Regis Hall, careening past the Tower and rolling down toward the Commerce Build- ing, groups of bicyclists are hastening to Weston or Wellesley, for that proverbial coke. College Campus — Proud Fortress of Right, Justice, Faith Taking Off on Wheels of Jollity Engulfed in Information Class Day Following the invocation on Bacca- laureate Sunday, the next chapter of Com- mencement Week deals with the Daisy Chain, the Will, Prophecy, History, Ode, and the Tree Oration. A group of Sopho- mores, selected by the sister class and gowned in varicolored array, form a guard of honor for the Senior dignitaries. Begin- ning on one side of College Hall, the un- derclassmen — carrying the chain of flowers on their shoulders — slowly proceed to the Oval Plot where they form a Maypole-like picture. Next, all turn to the outdoor auditorium where Joan Caldbeck, President of the Graduating Class, presents the Senior ban- ner to Virginia O’Toole of the Freshman Class; and Olive Erickson, Vice-President, The Transformation [ 22 ] sters Gay Act bestows the Cap and Gown upon Therese Foley of the Junior Class. Elizabeth Cos- grove, leader of the Student Government, addresses the undergraduates, advising them of the tradition and high ideals of Regis. Continuing the program, the Class His- torian recalls the episodes of the past four years, which will be cherished in the heart of every Regis girl. Then, all sit breath- lessly while the Great Seer gazes into the Crystal Ball and, in the mystical voice of the Grand Lama of Tibet, foretells events to come in the lives of the graduates. For the imaginative touch, the Poet Laureate reads the Commencement Ode, recalling the “stern daughter of the voice of God. Descending from the dignity of ivities . . . the Ode to the humor of the Will, the Testator reveals the Last Will and Testa- ment of the graduating class. As a conclusion, all proceed to the Pop- lar Drive where the Sophomores form a corridor through which the Class of ’43 passes, led by the Class Marshal. Having arrived at Cardinal O’Connell Hall, all halt while the Tree Orator plants the tra- ditional cherry tree and places the trowel in the hands of the Junior Class President. This scene closes the chapter on Class Day, the day on which Seniors laugh with tears in their eyes while they inspire the underclassmen, by bestowing the banner and the Cap and Gown upon Lreshmen and Juniors, to higher ideals and greater traditions. Glorified arid Bedecked with Garlands [ 23 ] Proffers T ri b u te The year’s at the Spring — a season of awakening and refreshing, a period when new love, new life are reborn. During this greatest month of the year in traditional custom, we choose the love- liest and fairest among us to receive the floral crown under the royal oak and as our Queen of the May to kneel at the shrine of Mary and transfer her diadem to the brow of Our Blessed Mother, the First Lady of the Spring. Our Queen leads the procession with her court — attendants and crown bearer, cho- sen alike for their worthiness and beauty. Across the Campus, a colorful procession bespeaks the gala event, underclass sisters p garbed in flowing gowns of green, pink, blue, and yellow, echoing the gayety and blitheful note of a new Spring. Our Queen guides at the head — her coro- net of wisdom and purity, champion of her resemblance to Mary, Queen of Heaven . Seniors, capped and gowned, follow their selected one over the campus trail, fol- lowed by underclassmen, for whom she stands, a model to be imitated and emu- lated. Benediction — and our ceremonies close with a blessing and a prayer to Mary, the Mother of Our Sodality and Patron of our festivities. In Attendance In Honor of Mary , We Croivn Thee ■ R egi s Fo u n de rs ’ D ay Culmination of three years’ study and zenith of our academic endeavors, Foun- ders’ Day holds preeminence in collegiate memories. Time stands still, the Chapel is hushed, as singly the Seniors approach to be vested in Cap and Gown — symbolic of scholastic achievement. A brilliant back- ground of the bright blue and gold of early October outlines the procession of solemn black. Galaxies of fragrant and rich-hued congratulatory flowers arrive, at this un- forgetable moment; the beginning oi the end. In another sense, it is the beginning of the beginning — for eight fleeting months will find us at Commencement. Rich in traditions of 600 years of scholars, Found- ers’ Day holds intrigue for us — the day we became Seniors. Betty, Dorothy, and Joan — Garbed in Glory The second chapter of Commencement Week is devoted to the Hoop-Rolling con- test and the Horse Show of Athletic Day. Seniors, usually so dignified in robes of learning, roll up their voluminous sleeves, gird their gowns with a sash of bright hue, and, at a moment’s notice, return to baby days by fastening on their caps by means of bows under the chin. In this garb, the graduating class en- gages in rolling hoops, which have been decorated with colored paper ribbon. At a given signal, Seniors begin the race. Only a few are so fortunate as to reach the goal. The winner is “the first to be mar- ried.’’ Following this hilarious procedure, the Athletic Field is cleared for the annual Trilogy of Sportsmanship The Winner — Monique [ 28 ] Horse Show. Prizes are awarded to the best riders and to the winners in the games, “Biting the Doughnut” and “Going to Jerusalem.” Sports Day is over for another year and another page of memories is added to those already possessed by the Class of ’43- Hopes — Bound in Hoops; Dignity — Effaced with Color Our enlightened and darkly-hooded Professors — erudite masters — come first; they have shown us the Way, the Truth, and the Life of lovely things. When necessity required, they have been stern — yet, in other moments, our confidants and friends. Seniors follow — now on the threshold of a new experience and anticipating a life of new-found and untried self-reliance. The hour glass of time has sifted away four years: Seniors have surmounted the Terrible Mountain, overcome the Giant Despair, and achieved the Celestial City of Com- mencement. To the Juniors we give the flaming torch, sym- bolic of Catholic creed and Roman culture; may they hold it high and carry it unflinchingly! For our Sister Class, the Sophomores, we pray, that they may win the race in their collegiate trek and keep the Faith. College is a new adventure to the Freshmen — their fledgling wings are as yet untried; so, we bid them farewell and encourage them to persevere.

Following a Freshman year of varied subjects, students have several fields from which to choose, to receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Courses in English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian Literature and Composition open the way for ca- reers as teachers, translators, librarians, and writ- ers. Studies in the History of the past ages prepare modern economists. Other students with scientific minds spend hours in the Laboratory studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics in search of discoveries to contribute to the progress of man. Socially-conscious students pursue courses in Sociology and work in hospitals and charitable bureaus to help the neglected and maladjusted. In addition to her own particular field, each Regis girl takes three years of Literature and four of Religion and Philosophic courses. [ 34 ] Presents a Choice of Four Courses Sister M.

These followers of Hippocrates, in addition to the prescribed studies for the A.B. degree: Literature, Religion and Scripture, and Philosophy, must complete work in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, French, and German. Having successfully finished this course, which has received the approval of the American Medical Association, students may enter any Class A Medi- cal School where they will learn the intricacies of the operating table, different medicines, and the human skeleton. Four years of college, four years of medical school, and two of internship in a hospital will give pre-medical students the privilege of hanging out a shingle and writing prescriptions.

Girls looking forward to careers as dietitians, teachers, designers, and wives follow the practical art courses of Home Economics over and above the prescribed courses of Literature, Religion, Scripture, Logic, Philosophy, and Ethics. Here they learn the intricacies of cake-making and nutri- tion both for individual families and for a whole community. Those majoring in cooking prepare diets for all types of people and study Institutional and Income Management. The Clothing Department imparts knowledge in sewing, fitting, and designing. Clothing majors study Foods also, while roods Majors become acquainted with needlework. Both departments require Home Nursing, First Aid, and Methods in Home Economics. These courses suc- cessfully completed confer the degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics. For Practical Experience in Emergencies . . .

Here, future secretaries condition their reflexes to take down a required number of words a minute in Shorthand and to send them out typed in an equally short period of time. Hours of study in Accounts may produce a future C.P.A., while Com- mercial Law, Economics, and Business Organiza- tion prepare aspirants for all phases of the business world. Besides filling positions as secretaries, stenog- raphers, and accountants, many followers of the above courses will fill the teacher’s chair in a class- room to stimulate another generation of secretaries.

Success of Senior ventures is credited to the efforts of these Class Officers. Joan Caldbeck, soft-spoken English Major from St. Johnsbury, is President. Vice-Presi- dent, Olive Erickson, is a Spanish Major, well liked for her artless simplicity. Dorothy Curran has the financial good of the class at heart. Dorothy delves into microtechnique and commutes to the Lab, for her field of concentration is Biology. Secretary, and recorder extraordinaire, Claire Sulli- van keeps the minutes of 43 s convergences. Un- obtrusive and reserved, Claire finds her major con- cern in Browning, Milton, and Chaucer. These four are our ambassadors — competent and approved — 43’s generators of activity. Under the general guidance of Joan, the helpful assistance of Olive, and aided and abetted by Dorothy and Claire, Senior plans were born, nurtured through infancy, led through adolescence, and brought finally to a glorious flowering.

REGIS 617107 (jfVOUpS A success story indelibly written in the hearts and minds of Seniors is etched also on their bright faces, smiling lips curved in optimistic laughter. Four years make up a record of happiness, unfor- gettable and everlasting. Apparent and real des- cribe the success of this venture — apparent in the manifestation of truths, engendered through the care and vigilance of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, real in peace and satisfaction, predominant in the souls of those who have followed tireless leaders through four years. Collegians, capped with wisdom, cloaked with Truth and Religion, garner a harvest of leadership after four years of fruitful sowing and reaping. Somber black robes bespeak sobriety and seri- ousness — transformation from adolescence to Catholic womanhood. Emblematic of the perfect balance of wisdom and folly, high seriousness and companionship, they merge in a perfect ratio of success. First Row M. Gallagher, E. Neville, A. Sheehan, C. Coppinger, L.

Into this story of success is woven the element of adventure, which found its impetus in 1939 on Registration Day. Having charted different courses, they arrived at like destination, Graduation. As each plotted her own way, she chose a particular guide: Pasteur or Moliere, Shelley or Dickens. Taking the hands of the old masters, sometimes surging ahead, oft stilled in rapt wonderment, they were led through the valleys and shadows of ignorance to the summit where the tree of know- ledge bloomed. The elements of adventure found them as inno- cents abroad, bowing in initiation to Regis; de- velopments follow in Sophomore athletic prowess and farewell to the ranks of the underclassmen. Junior week, complete with teas, banquets, and prom orchids climax the narrative. Founders’ Day, the investiture of academic habits, and Commence- ment bring the concluding chapters to a finish. Four years speak of both despair and courage — every bit of it — adventure. In a Rare Pensive Mood — Olive [ 109 ] The Exchequer — Dorothy Throughout the whole story runs a thread of romance. Each page is illumined with ideals and ambitions. The story proceeds on a softer tempo, telling of idle hours spent with the verse makers or in the realms of the fanciful — giving impetus to the dreamer in them. Benediction hymns, the amber lights of a softly illumined chapel, instilled into them a Catholic love of all things beautiful. Under the watchfulness of Regis College, within whose walls each dream and hope was enriched, their story began to assume the richness of maturity. The guidance of Prof essors asked naught hut diligence, perseverance, and studious thought. Ambitions found root in the Alma Mater, dream castles, solid foundation. Romance in the clear peal of Christmas chimes and the voice of carolers sounding across the Campus — or in the quiet dig- nity of black robed nuns, tempers this tale.

Each is unique — for under careful tutorage she has found her own peculiar forte in this world. Each one grew a little better and sweeter. Self improvement was voiced in the Senior honor students, club officers. Sodality lead- ers, or Student Government lawmakers. Radical or conservative, athletic or studious, all are graduated Catholic leaders. Even the final chapter is aglow with last minute names, the May Queen, the prize winning eques- trienne, hoop race runner, the deliverer of the Tree Oration, and the Class Historian. Cliques fade as the end of the story draws near, congeniality blending all Seniors in the last chapter of a successful four years.

[ 112 ] Junior Class Introducing the Juniors, who are three years along on their collegiate trek — who have behind them Moseley, Pater, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Prom trotting — who are now busily engaged in major field concentrations and social operations on the home front. Yes, these are the Juniors who live in anticipation of Junior Week — almost Sen- iors who in a few months will be capped and gowned and reveling in it. The Junior Scrap Book is clustered with pink camellias from dimly lighted ballrooms and place cards from faculty teas. Junior Year is exciting from the date after the B.C. game right down to Nineteenth Century Prescribed. Highlighting Jun- ior Year is unquestionably Junior Week — incarna- tion of wildest dreams — realization of fondest hopes. It finds itself first with white-robed Juniors attending Mass and Holy Communion, which is followed by a Communion Breakfast. First Row: M. L. O’Brien, A. Foley, V. Fredette, O. Cardanha, B.

Excitement runs high on Thursday evening as Juniors go in town for dinner and attend a theatre party at the Wilbur — the joy of week long late permissions leaving everyone in breathless anticipation of the Prom, say it softly, the Prom! Juniors never looked lovelier in their pastel gowns, floating tulle skirts, and fragile orchids. Confused memories of white-tied dates, sweet music, and laughing youth remain for always.

Junior Year is often acknowledged as the best of all when enough social savoir-faire and a taste for life have been acquired. Junior Year is a stopping off place to try those wings cultivated during Freshman and Sophomore — college women still carefree and not necessarily serious minded about positions or job hunting. Friends are made, con- tacts established and life-long associations are well on the way. In Junior as in other years, the play’s the thing, or in leisure it’s a brisk canter down the bridle paths. Sessions with the Dorsey brothers after supper and at 9:30 — committees, meetings, quick lunches in the Caf or a lingering coke in Weston — long sweaters, pleated skirts, the inevi- table and unglamorous cotton stockings — all are precious memories of college days, memories of Junior year, and are combined to produce the Cath- olic College Senior, alert, interested in life, and in- telligent — willing to run the race and keep the Faith for God, for Country, and for Regis. Up the Steps to Learning — Scientists [ 115 ] “We were young and gay,’’ and then we realized — no longer was our star in the ascendancy; we had reached the peak and were only waiting for our crowns. Two years had passed, two wonderful, fleeting years. This was it. We were now Upper- classmen, entitled to “rights and privileges pre-ordained.’’ So, our hearts were light last September as we nonchalantly ushered our eagerly-anticipated Freshman Sisters through the Foyer to be presented to the Faculty. If we seemed ever so slightly patronizing or blase, we were to be ex- cused, as the crown of Juniority sat but newly on our brows. October was eventful. On Founders’ Day, the Seniors in the new dignity of academic garb moved like dark-silhouetted figures against a varied background of campus color. The splendor and pageantry of their flowers added a backdrop of bril- liance to this scene of happiness, which portended like glory for us. This year, we of the Class of 1944 took our places in the front rows of the Chapel for the Cap and Gown Ceremony — we were now but one step away from the goal. To pilot our Class, we chose efficient Therese Foley as President, aided by Char- lotte O’Brien, Margaret Parsons, and Florence Hoffman. So, our flight began with the glowing promise of a year filled with joy and success. Tolerantly we viewed initiation activi- ties, but the tolerance was merely a surface layer; inwardly, we felt a nostalgic twinge for the Sophomore Day of Tyranny. The crisp tang of Autumn air sent groups to Carondolet to enjoy frankfort roasts and singing by a blazing log fire. Hallowe’en was a night for sweet music and twirling couples at the Harvest Hop, this time, alas, sans the swirling bouffant gowns. Once more we rushed from one club meeting to another social gathering, re- newing the fun of impromptu entertain- ments. Shortly before Thanksgiving, be- gan a joyful series of exciting episodes: several of our classmates received engage- ment rings. With delight, we extended to them our love and best wishes. Virginia Sheehan, Peggy Flood, and Odette Car- danha happily acknowledged our declara- tions of pleasure. And soon, we shared a similar glory: at last, the day of our recep- tion of class rings arrived. At a beautiful ceremony and tea, our rings were presented to us by the Seniors, making them doubly dear, for they seemed like a heritage and pledge for the continuance of a glorious tradition. Each time we looked at our rings, they brought Regis before us, for they represent our years of joy. Although we sang “White Christmas’’ in a carefree manner, our 1942 Christmas ceremonies had a deeper, more fervent meaning than before, for we knew the love with which the heart of man was this year clinging to the Babe of Bethlehem, while nation warred against nation. During the seasonal festivities, our dramatic talent came to the front in two plays, “Christmas in Coventry” and “Seeing’s Believing,” presented (it is to be hoped) to an admiring audience. Upon our return to scholastic halls, after a fortnight’s vacation, an unusual tension had settled, instead of a mist of the post-holiday gayety which might have been expected. But the explanation was furnished two weeks later. Brows were “furrowed and wrinkled with care,” for it was necessary to beware of gremlins bearing Examinations. But all things pass away, and a spirited February Valentine entertainment replaced this unaccustomed gloom. Our specialists in pantomime gave another rare reper- toire to a truly appreciative Faculty and student body, as Madeleine Canarie and [ 116 ] Mary Lou Gallen captivated all hearts with plans For Me and My Gal. At this time, we paused in tribute to a great person, as we pondered upon fifty years of devoted service in religion. Humbly we bowed to the achievement of Mother Mary Simplicia, hfty years a nun. In the early days of March came the triumphant climax of three years. It was mythical; it was fabulous; it was spell- binding; and it was ours. Our Junior Week! Begun with Mass celebrated by our Chap- lain, the Reverend Edward T. Harrington, when for the second time in our Regis career we essayed a dignihed descent of the Chapel stairs, the week swept us on a breathtaking wave of corsages through a reception to Mother Mary Simplicia, the Mothers’ Tea at the Beaconsfield, an at- tendance en masse at the theatre, to the Saturday which was heralded by serious heart palpitations. Capable Maureen Sullivan, our Prom Chairman, had worked tirelessly to make this a gala affair. But there are no words to describe our Junior Promenade. From the first strains of waltz music to the coronation of lovely Mary Gordon as Prom Queen, the night was a thing of beauty, although the elements were tempestuous. Surprisingly, life did return to its rou- tine. Exalted human beings, even Juniors, find they are capable of normal existence after rapturous soaring. We were singing As Time Goes By and It Can’t Be Wrong, only to discover that the composer of the latter had been misinformed; our midterm examination answers proved him wrong. With the first scent of fresh Spring breezes, an onslaught of athletics overwhelmed the College. Fast and furious was the basketball com- petition between classes. Desire for Le- bensraum explained the sudden blossoming of the tennis courts with sport-clad cham- pions. Bicycles, carefully safeguarded all Winter, now glided on thinning tires over the road to Weston. Bridge parties and scavenger hunts, sponsored by our new Weekend Club, proclaimed that life was not all earnest. The work of the Mission Society gained new impetus from a lecture given in March by two Marist Sisters, telling of the splendid work done by mis- sionaries in the Fiji Islands and in the Solomons. Lenten Sodality meetings were made doubly interesting by the inspiring talks of the Reverend John Frawley, C.SS.R. Then came a thrill, though we strove to appear unaffected, produced by being measured for our own Caps and Gowns. As we prepared for the external marks of Seniority, we became more cognizant of the three-year training course we had re- ceived, which had equipped us with in- trinsic attributes of poise and the charm which come from practised Catholicity. Just prior to Holy Week, we withdrew from mundane affairs to spend a weekend with Christ, the most perfect Host. Super- naturally refreshed after a memorable Re- treat, we departed to our homes for a respite before the strenuous closing weeks of College, which would embrace Final Exams, preparations for the next year, and a regretful leave-taking of the Class of 1943. Many of us participated in the annual Pops” Concert at Symphony Hall in May, and all of us played a part in the beautiful Regis tradition of the May Procession, when we knelt at the feet of Mary. This was a year of companionship, of shared taxis and borrowed rides, of Ran- dom Harvest and Casablanca, of serious de- fense courses. We read Song of Bernadette and The Robe, and we discussed Guadal- canal Diary and world affairs. Above all, we renewed our prayers for peace and for our American men fighting to maintain a Christian way of life. So it’s Vale to the Seniors, whom we have known so long and well, and Ave to our future, as we complete our flight to Barbara A. Browne, ’44 [ 117 ] un ov : Alice M.

[ 120 ] Sophomore Class After a long furlough of three months spent at the seashore, in the cool mountains, in the desert of the West, or perhaps in stores, factories, or offices, the not-so-new recruits return to camp wearing two stripes. They have completed the preliminary training and are now separating into specialist corps. Those with a flair for language and Litera- ture as a means of learning the culture of the world join the ranks of those studying English, French, Spanish, Latin, and German. Some And interest in the sewing and the cooking departments where they study nutrition both for individual families and canteen work and do practice K.P. duty in the Cafeteria and the Tea House. Others enter the medical corps to learn the intricacies of Biology and Anatomy, while those with an aptitude for Chemistry wear the appropriate insignia. The OFFICERS Mary T.

For the first time, Regis trainees realize that English developed from a Greek-like language known as Anglo-Saxon; that one must actually skin the cat to learn the Physiology of animals; that Sociology does not mean being social; that Chemistry is more than playing with test tubes; that Corneille wrote Le Cid; and, that being a good cook involves a great deal of dishwashing. All have recognized their own abilities the preceding year during the basic training course and now follow the bent of their interest both from a practical and a cultural point of view. Corporals, having been in the Regis Army for a full year, feel quite proud of their competency in drill and their mastery of study methods.

The incoming class is required to wear high boots, ragged dresses, and hats, to carry waste- baskets everywhere they go, and to walk in the goose step in ridicule of the enemy. As in studies, the selectees in the second year of training are also more confident in social affairs. This is the )ear when they begin to join clubs and take part in meetings. Some may perform a demon- stration at the Louis Pasteur Club meeting, others may present a book review for the Reading Club, give a paper on art or music at Le Cenacle Litter- aire, an explanation of Spanish or German life in El Circulo Castellano or Der Deutsche Verein, or collect articles for the Ethelon Penny Sale. As the soldiers of Regis come toward the end of their second year of training, they look forward to wearing another stripe when they return as sergeants after a prolonged leave to take an author- itative position as upperclassmen. A Room with a Rare View [ 123 ] Sophomore Mementos The day was ideal. It emanated that golden aura peculiar to late September in New England. Wasn’t it only yesterday that we took that last walk to Weston? Yet, here we were back again, dashing breathlessly up the stairs to register, or merrily recounting happy adventures. Glowing tanned faces dimpled apprecia- tively at friends’ escapades. Regis smiled benignly and affectionately at the antics of these irresponsible daughters, her new Sophomores. Dignity befitting our recently-acquired role came suddenly at the formal opening. Conscious of our responsibilities, we dedi- cated ourselves to a year of earnest effort. At last, on Founders’ Day, the wheels of College life were oiled and running smoothly. What a tremendous feeling of awe coursed through our veins as we be- held our former Junior Sisters invested with the traditional cap and gown! That clear blue sky dabbed with downy puffs of fleece made a perfect background for treasured souvenirs. Finally, it was time to select our team for the hurdle through the second line of Father Time. Statuesque Mary Foley, with her flowing dark tresses, became our Cap- tain. Petite Phil Winchester of the sunny disposition rose to Co-Captain. Peppy Frances O’Connor jumped into place as Financial Director, while friendly Betty McNally hopped on as Official Recorder. In early November, mid-term concen- tration meant a complete abandonment to feverish scansion of books. Even the new- ly-organized Mission Unit suffered a tem- porary setback in favor of the impending doom of quarterlies. On November 4, we said au rtvoir to our Philosophy Pro- fessor, the Reverend John A. Keegan, who was inducted into the United States Army. At last, the anticipated Thanksgiving Holiday appeared on the horizon. On that memorable occasion, we gathered to honor Mr. Turkey, in appropriate fashion. His heart must have expanded with justi- fiable pride as he saw himself in such a delectable golden-brown state of sover- eignty. During that short interim, Col- lege faded into the background. No sooner was Thanksgiving safely disposed of than Christmas began to re- quire attention. Lists were thoughtfully compiled, shopping expeditions secretively undertaken, mysterious boxes and bundles hastily stored in unobtrusive nooks. In- stead of abating, the dither of excitement only augmented until, finally, it was the week preceding the annual Christmas re- cess. A few conscientious souls had already addressed their Christmas cards, while we — oh no, we weren’t lazy. It was simply that College kept us so busy — tests, you know ! Promptly at noon on December 20, we galloped out of class, grabbed suitcases bulging to the gunwales with presents, sprinkled a gay Merry Christmas on everyone, and were off — to the ecstatic joys of home. Christmas was no longer a season of shining exterior decorations and gaily- lighted windows. Shades were drawn this year, a grim reminder of that bloody strife across the ocean. Beloved faces were missing from around shimmering trees whose silver stars still scraped the ceiling. As we knelt at the Crib of the Infant Saviour on His Nativity Day, a sudden bolt of lightning shot across our vision. We knew then what our fathers, brothers, uncles, and friends were fighting for on the other side of the world : to keep Christmas in America, whether it be celebrated in a quaint, snow-covered village or in a bus- tling city of skyscrapers. That first morning back at College was agony. Eventually, we settled down to [ 124 ] routine and realized that there were only two weeks until Mid-Year Examinations. All else was forgotten while we plugged away into the wee hours of the morn. A limited oil supply, one of the fruits of the war, brought an extra week of rest after the first semester. Those of us who lived in the present cheered, while the far- seeing thought of the aftermath — no Easter vacation. With carefree hearts and ruddy cheeks, we scurried back to classes, with an added lilt to our walk, a new sparkle in our eyes, a resurrected zest for living. Indeed, the future semester stretched forward in golden ribbons. Late February crept upon us with the Golden Jubilee of Mother Mary Sim- plicia. Such a gala occasion merited a fes- tive reception in true Regis fashion. The Sophomore larks of the Glee Club poured forth their notes in sunny symphony. Our own aspiring Jenny Lind, Mary Hannon, charmed everyone with her inimitably demure manner. This opening month back at hooks was a busy one. We began to feel a tiny prick of privation. Ice cream was sold only three days a week in the Cafeteria! Such a hor- rible catastrophe! Point rationing came next. Some of us, especially those who had never been satellites of the mathematical sphere, heaved a sigh of relief that ours was not the task of feeding a household. The only bolt of lightning to startle us completely in the war program was the ultimatum on shoes. Didn’t Uncle Sam know that to a College girl, shoes were the spice of life, the panacea for woes? Suddenly, Lent was around the corner, with resolutions both practical and varied. Topping the list was daily Mass, with Communion, when possible. Mid-Se- mester Examinations sped by at a relentless pace. One morning we unexpectedly awoke to Spring, coming, as usual, like a thief in the night, to steal away our hearts. That nostalgic aroma was everywhere. Birds chirped merrily; buds sprang into blos- soms; Nature rose in all her majesty. Gradually, we returned to normal san- ity. That peaceful period of self-intro- spection, the annual Retreat, bestowed its blissful calm. Inspiring conferences re- freshed our dulled perceptions with spir- itual consolations. Then, dawned the Easter parade with the Sophomores in the front ranks. Cn that glorious morn of Christ’s resurrection, we were gowned as fastidious fashion plates; but, more important still, we were interiorly attuned to the ageless conven- tional dress of His grace. Our invincible armor was ready for the pincers thrusts of the frivolous old world. The topsy-turvy role of being “wise fools” approached its climax. On High School Day, we crippled ourselves doing gymnastics for prospective Freshmen. Still, not until Final Examinations brought their inevitable anxiety did we fully real- ize that the year was at an end. With ar- dent love, we gazed in reverence at our dear Seniors, and murmured with Milton, “The world was all before them, where to choose.” That our time to leave youth behind and step on the stage of life as career women has not yet come, we are, indeed, glad. For the present, we, like Chaucer, are con- tent to leave our books behind and enjoy the beauties of late May. Summer looms in enticing proportions. Anything can hap- pen! Possibly, we may write short stories and poems that will make the world bow to our genius! Kathleen R. Malone, ' 45 [ 125 ] June A. Allison 14 Plymouth Ave., Belmont, Mass. Annemarie E.

[ 128 ] Freshman Class September of each year brings with its crisp fresh days, falling leaves, and last vestiges of Summer new recruits to Regis — all happy to be in the army of soldiers working for God and country. Repre- senting all sections of the vast United States, new trainees gather from the murmuring forests of the North, from the dreamy warmth of the South, from the snow-capped mountains of the West, and from the stern and rock-bound coast of the Atlantic. Here, rooming together and living in the same College, riding in automobiles, traveling on trains, meeting in class and social gatherings, the new privates have no time for thoughts about the old home town and the folks there. Sergeants selected from the ranks of Juniors take charge of the individual newcomers, introducing them to their Chief Officers and Instructors, guiding OFFICERS Virginia M.

Not too much time elapses before the new re- cruits select their buddies who become roommates and life-long friends. With the sound of reveille each morning, the trainees march to Chapel to start the day in the best manner possible. Following this, they proceed to the mess hall for breakfast,- at the completion of which they begin their day of drilling and prepar- ing for the warfare of life. Other selectees riding from nearby towns join those already stationed at Regis and all begin maneuvers. As in the regular Army, abilities are determined by a scholastic aptitude test. Drill for the most part is mental, although physical education through Archery, Basketball, Swimming, and other sports also enters into the program. Before the new buck privates become first-class privates, they must pass courses in World History, American Literature, Logic, a modern language, and a natural science. First Row: V. O ' Toole, C.

Since soldiers must learn that obedience is one of their important requirements, girls at Regis study their Rule Book, obey the hell system, and attend class regularly. Discipline, however, is tempered with walks on the Campus with its panoramic views of surrounding towns, with strolls to Weston for cokes, interclass athletic meets, dances in the Foyer, lectures in the Auditorium, and long awaited furloughs at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. As the end of the Freshman year draws near, the selectees, now privates first class since Mid-Year Examinations, begin to plan for specialization courses for the coming year. Another set of tests at the end of May when Spring fever is rampant makes Freshmen eligible for another promotion. With the coming of June, all bid goodbye to their buddies and journey to their homes in the various places of the United States for a furlough of three months. Just Making the 4:30 [ 131 ] His slender fingers brushed the silver strands from his temples. A twinkle came into his staring eyes and he smiled. So you’re Miss Regis 1946! Yes, I think I have your Freshman Diary on file. He turned and slowly surveyed the well- stocked shelves. His forehead furrowed into deep wrinkles as he realized that the volume he sought was far above his im- mediate reach. With reluctance, he climbed up the library ladder. The feather duster in his hand quickly erased the veil in which time had clothed the mantel. Ah, there it is! he chuckled heartily and descended from his ladder perch. This is really a happy book. Shall we read right from the beginning? Miss ' 46 nodded agreeably. September 15, 1942, he stopped. You don’t have to read that entry. He was interrupted by the reminiscent Miss. I remember clearly that day. September 15 — I registered as a Freshman at Regis. We Freshmen were the main at- traction. We met our Junior Sisters and like heavenly appointed Guardian Angels they presented us to the new rulers of our scholastic fate. . the Faculty. You soon lost the center of the stage though. Here read this. October 2 — Founders’ Day. The Sen- iors reign as Campus Queens, she began. And that they were in their new caps and gowns; if you could see the gowns beneath those beautiful corsages! Eek, why did I ever put that in there? asked Miss ' 46 as she glanced at the photo pasted beneath October 8, 1942. O ho! Quite a picture. There’s no use in denying it, that is you — that large name card around your neck identifies you. The rain boots, bathing cap, and those inflated balloons on your knees belie the rubber shortage that year. But what do my black stockings and inside out dress show?” she queried. Only that on Initiation Day you were under a cruel Sophomore whip. However, you soon recovered from the wounds they inflicted on your pride. The applause that the red-headed sweetheart of your Class won for her professional-like praise of a well-known soap product pleased you. Super-Suds was your healing salve. October 31 — I made my debut into Regis social life, the young lady sighed happily. While the Jack-o-lanterns were grinning and the ghosts walking, I was dancing gayly at the Harvest Hop. That was only the beginning of my good times at Regis. Here is another happy day. November 25 — Mid-Semesters over and Thanksgiving vacation begins. You had not been back at school long when you assumed a more serious aspect. It was a blessed day when the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary received you into its fold.” Yes, that was December 10, mused the Child of Mary. The next week we left classes for our Christmas vacation. If I close my eyes and concentrate, I can almost hear the Seniors caroling on the Parterre under a shower of confetti. Christmas has always been my favorite season of the year.” I can understand that. Now let’s see what was waiting for you when you re- turned from your vacation. The trusted librarian slowly flicked the Diary pages. He chuckled and started to hum a tuneful melody. Remember that? You sang it January 11 when your College Glee Club entertained another famed group of chor- isters. But B.C. loved it, though. Don’t for- get, Miss, that I have a duplicate of their diary, too. They have that evening well recorded even to the singing of farewells. This flattery brought a crimson flush to [ 132 ] the Regisite’s cheek. Pleasantly embar- rassed, she sought to change the subject. “What is this?” questioned the silver- haired gentleman. “The entries are grow- ing smaller and smaller.” “Not being quite so wise and experi- enced as you, Sir, I had to neglect my so- cial activities and lengthy recordings to hibernate behind a textbook. Mid-Year Examinations began January 18.” “You all survived, though, and I didn’t notice any grey hair because of your ef- forts,” retorted the aged one. “No, we were granted a pleasant leave of absence from our books. None of us ob- jected to conserving heat and staying home bookless.” “You came back to find new subjects and classes awaiting you. But give credit where it is due, you put your shoulder to the wheel and soon had it rolling.” “It still was a bumpy test-strewn road,” groaned the girl. “No doubt; but, what are a few bumps to Freshmen? Here you are on Valentine’s Day stealing the show again. You defeated der Fuehrer that night and secured laurels in your own right when you introduced your catchy Class Song.” The ancient trustee sauntered towards the window. He drew back the faded curtains and gazed at the horizon. Pulling himself back from a rem- iniscent world of days gone by, he turned again to the girl. “The lion of your suc- cess was overcome by the Juniors’ lamb of leisure — recall how proud you were of your ’Big Sister’ that week?” The Regisite rested her chin in the palm of her white hand. Her eyes wandered in joyful reverie. “They were wonderful,” she finally said. “And remember how they let us share their spotlight on March 6? That was the night of their Prom and our Class President crowned their Queen. Yes; you were always more or less in the limelight. Here, you are in green for St. Patrick; here, displaying pride in the cleverness of Clare Garrity at the I.R.C. meeting on March 28; here, wearing the smile that says, ' I’ve passed my Mid- Semesters’; and here, garbed in sneakers and blue gym suits. You certainly ‘April Fooled’ the Juniors with your agile guard- ing and clever passing on the Basketball Court.” “Our gym garb was cast aside for the silent robe of Retreat though,” reminded the Regis heroine. “And then I got that bad case of Spring Fever! I’ll never forget how hard it was to get back to work after the Easter vacation. I think study is a Freshman’s greatest curse in Springtime.” The Elder saw the futility of denial and so nodded agreeably. He rested the book on the window ledge and beckoned to the girl. “Come and see the pictures of the May Procession. It is truly a spectral ar- ray. The Upperclassmen made a lovely rainbow Court for the May Queen as she crowned our heavenly Queen, Mary. You were a proud spectator that day.” Miss 1946 walked to the sill and lifted the book. “The Processional bouquets were scarcely wilted when Examination time was upon me again!” she exclaimed. “No cause for worrying though,” said the Aged Master. “You had studied hard all semester and were prepared to meet this final test. Needless to say. . . ’you passed’ !” “It all seems so unbelievable — my Freshman year is over!” The old man closed the book and pointed out the window. The Freshman’s eyes followed his finger. She looked across the darkened starlit Campus. “Keep it that way, Miss,” said Father Time, his voice catching in his throat, “and never forget your Freshman year.” The moon streamed in through the win- dow. The dusty library disappeared into oblivion. The room became fresh and clean. The Regis girl stirred in her bed. “What a strange dream! No, Father Time, I’ll never forget my Freshman days.” Frances M. McFarlane, ' 46 [ 133 ] I ! t Kathleen M. Arthur 1116 Saratoga St., East Boston, Mass. Dorothy A.

Chapel in the morning and evening offers the tran- quillity which the war-torn world cannot give. Bicycle rides and walks to Weston in the afternoon find the girls in every corner of the Campus and in every path of the countryside. Brisk Autumn weather brings its summons to apple orchards and a warm fire in Carondolet. Snow beneath the poplars calls for skis, toboggans, and snow balls, followed by the enchanted dog- wood and the songs of birds bidding the whole Col- lege welcome the flood of Spring. In College Hall, Regis Hall, Cardinal O’Connell Hall, and the Commerce Building, clubs meet to hear lecturers discuss topics pertaining to their con- centrated fields. Here also they conduct meetings, teas, and socials. Scenes from dances in the Foyer, clubs in session, the crowning of the May Queen, the Student Gov- ernment enforcing regulations, the Glee Club mak- ing melodic harmony, and the Athletic Association in tournament combine to form the lovely things to hold in memory. en l With the return of Regis citizens to the College in the Fall, elections were held to choose members to the House of Representatives with Elizabeth Cosgrove as Chief Executive. The Fifteenth Con- gress opened with a revision of some of the amend- ments to the Constitution — distributed to all students in the form of a Hand Book. The Executive part of the Government put all laws into effect by means of the demerit system which places penalties on lawbreakers, according to the gravity of the offense. Any person accused may appeal her case before the Judicial Department where it will be decided upon by the Supreme Court. Representatives are present at all functions to help and listen to suggestions. Standing: M. O ' Sullivan, M. Beglev, J Caldbeck, V. O ' Toole, C. Fouhy, M. Foley, T Foley, A. Stanton. Seated: R. Keese, A. Lyons, E. Cos- grove, E Burke, C O ' Hare. [ 138 ] Standing: M. Kelly, C. Boylan, R. Donovan, A. Lyons, H. Sullivan, A. O ' Donnell, E. Lavoie. Stated: C. Coppinger, R. Keese, C O’Hare, A. Sheehan. December 10 marked the annual Freshman Recep- tion featuring the Reverend Thomas Kilduff, O.C. D. Under the guidance of Catherine O ' Hare and Rita Keese, the Mission Unit proffered a blend of the spiritual and the practical, as the students parti- cipated in extra-curricula projects for the missions. Weekly sermons were delivered by the Moder- ator, the Reverend Edward Harrington; the Rev- erend John Frawley, C.SS.R., presided over the Lenten discussions. Mary Kelly, Eileen Burke, Ann Stanton, and Elizabeth Farragher, inspired with the patriotism of the Reverend John Wright, carried on the work of the Lecture Bureau. The election of a May Queen brought a successful year to a close. Sodality L 139 ] E. O ' Brien, M. Gordon, A. Lewis, M. Bryan Sigma Tau Phi, comprised of Latin and Greek Majors, held elections early in the Fall, and Eileen O’Brien emerged President, with Althea Lewis, Mary Gordon, and Mary Bryan filling the other positions. In Regis Hall, a November acquaintance party for the Freshmen was held, during which the first issue of Res Litterarum was distributed. At the Christmas Party, the classical cup was quaffed and Saturnalia reigned supreme under the chair- manship of Eileen O’Brien. When Aeolus was holding forth unchallenged, a March gathering convened, and Anne Sullivan, Constance Carell, and Althea Lewis conducted a discussion on Roman Domestic Life. Upholding the other side of the Adriatic Sea at the April meeting, Mary Gordon and Madeleine Therrien enlightened the members on Greek Domestic Life. A farewell banquet to Seniors was the final event on the club calendar. Tan [ 140 ] Le Cenacle Litteraire Le Cenacle Litteraire chose as its patroness for the year, la petite Sainte Therese and for its theme song, her favorite composition, Jesus Seul. It was fitting that the initial reunion in October be dedicated to the French saint. The major genre of the literary gatherings was drama. Junior members staged the famous La Farce du Cuvier which was later followed by the comedy, L ' Homme qui epousa une Femme muette , presented by the Sophomores. The Seniors were unsurpassed in their rendition of the unforgettable Rosalie. Through the courtesy of the French Club of Wellesley College, our students attended the lecture given by M. Gustave Cohen, Les Origines de la mise en scene au moyen age; and that of M. Andre Morize whose subject was: Rebdtir la France: Prob- Lemes et Perspectives. The reunions closed with the presentation by the Freshman students of Prenez Garde d la Peinture by Fauchois. L. Penez, M. Choquette, K. O ' Connell, K. DeSimone :r i The gay and carefree mood of the fiestas was re- captured by the Reverend John Donnelly, C.SS.R., in his opening lecture on South American people. On December 16, the Christmas spirit invaded the Club, with Spanish games providing the entertain- ment. February featured two Puerto Rican Redemp- torists who presented lectures. This year, El C ' rnulo Castellano was enrolled in the Pan-American Society for the promotion of good will and was represented by delegates at the Inter-American Conference at the Copley Plaza Hotel. Observance of Pan-American Day, in April an Information Please Contest on South Ameri- ca, and a farewell song party for the Seniors ended a colorful year for the Spanish Club. El Circulo Castellano M. Canarie, O. Erickson, N. Duggan [ 142 ] Members of Der Deutsche Verein gathered around the campfire to summon the minnesingers to nar- rate the tales of the Nibelungenlied to the accom- paniment of a lyre. The first song of the people of darkness told of the meeting of the Valkyries at Weihnachten, how they brought the Yule Log from the forest, how they collected gifts to be exchanged on their journey along the Rhine, how they passed the steins around, and how they sang O Tannen- baum and Stille Nacht. The next Lied pictured the maidens of Odin in a cottage in the Black Forest discussing the German masterpieces of Goethe, Heine, and Schiller, en- joying Wieners and Apfelstrudel, and singing Leb’wohl. N. Concannon, B. Browne, L Penez, M. O ' Sullivan [ 143 ] Ritrovo Dante II Ritrovo Dante sang out “Ritorna Vincitor” in September as it headed for a year’s voyage in a gondola captained by Kay DeSimone. The seamen chose as Petty Officers: Jane Cox, Gilda Sater- iale, and Marion Terrasi to lead them through the canals of Italian culture and into the port of Christ- mas where the crew embarked for Regis Hall to spin yarns, to read from the log La Notte di Natale and Instrument i di Natale, to barter treasures gar- nered from the seven seas, to feast on ravioli, pi Z a , and spumone, and to sing carols for the newborn Christ Child. Boston University was the next stop on the pil- grimage where the voyagers gathered for motion pictures on Italian customs, la tarantella, the music of the concertina, “O Solo Mio,” and Italian liter- ature: Dante, Tasso, Boccaccio, Manzoni. Before returning to port, all gathered on deck to call back memories before saying a rivederci. [ 144 ] Louis Pasteur Club Usually engrossed behind beakers and test tubes, Regis scientists emerged from laboratories to Club activities, retaining the scientific spirit in all their gatherings. Initiation tempted even the bravest, but the first meeting found the most timid in at- tendance. Winter brought out the Astronomers in search of Draco and Ursa Minor, with January accenting the Biologists. Monthly, each member received a copy of The Scope. The British Information News supplied a moving picture on Blood Transfusion, for the Spring meet- ing. Shortly after, the Freshmen proved themselves full-fledged on their own club day. Flowers bloomed and the lab hours grew longer; but, to the enthusiastic Seniors, the shining white work tables still proved to be a temptation. Their Club rewarded them with a farewell celebration and the Seniors left to continue the work of Pasteur, Mendel, and Galileo in war-time laboratories. IW 3 E. Carroll, C. Herbert, J. Schmidt, P. Connefy [ 145 ] Home Economics Club Culinary experts all — assembled for the October gathering to discuss basic metabolism and vita- min deficiencies, and to elect energetic Miss Han- lon as President. Louise Sullivan, Edith LaMarca, and Elizabeth Conley completed the Club Officers. During October, the Spirit of Home Economics descended with lighted tapers to initiate the Freshmen; and, November found Home Ec Seniors aiding and abetting their Ethelon friends with a delectable food table at the Penny Sale. The Boston Convention, plans for a nutrition program at Regis, the Christmas Party kept Club members busy during the Winter months; and, in the Spring a lecturer from England, Miss Maude Preston, entertained with the latest millinery fashions. E. LaMarca, E. Conley, L. Sullivan, A. Hanlon [ 146 ] Ethelon Club With the maxim, “Charity for all,” the Ethelon Club of Sociology Majors opened the Fall events with a meeting at Carondolet. Jane O’Brien pre- sided. The outstanding activity sponsored by the Ethe- lonians was the Penny Sale, held November 17, for the benefit of Catholic charities. A Christmas party in the form of a buffet supper was given at Regis Hall, where Home Economics Seniors were ten- dered a testimonial. Christmas baskets and gaily wrapped gifts were sent to the Little Sisters of the Poor and the Convent of the Good Shepherd. Guest speakers during the Spring months in- cluded the Reverend George Dowd, the Reverend James G. Keller, M.M., and the Reverend Thomas Carroll. [ 147 ] O. Montenegro, L. Cleary, H. Harney, I. Pendolari The Secretarial Club — the rendezvous of future business women, accountants, and economists opened its season at the October meeting where Louise Cleary, Oily Montenegro, Helen Harney, and Irene Pendolari were elected to office. A repre- sentative from the F.B.I., Norman D. Valentine, addressed the Club at this meeting. A reception was given the Freshmen before Thanksgiving, and December 3 found the Club at the annual Christmas Party. Kay Farrell came through excellently as Santa Claus by distributing pocket dictionaries to all members. By the courtesy of the Gregg Company an inter- esting picture, entitled Champions Write, was shown at the January meeting. The Reverend Ernest Foley, S.J., spoke in March on Women and Post-War Economics — a topic of intense interest. Alumnae returned in late Spring for a combina- tion tea and business meeting. Secretarial Club [ 148 ] M. Witham, J. DeCastro, D. Curran, J. Schmidt Mary Louise Gallen conducting, Joan Schmidt at the keyboard, sixty lovely lyric voices, and you have Our Glee Club. A night in May, a throng of happy people, hearts thrilling to the strains of Arthur Fiedler’s musicians — can you guess? Regis Night at the Pops — and the climax of activities for the year. Delightful to eye and ear, the singers were at their best in such favorites as The Year ' s at the Spring, Cain; Drigo’s Serenade; and a vocal version of the Fifth Hungarian Dance , by Brahms. Highlight programs throughout the year in- cluded The Caecilian Prize, an operetta, presented in the Fall, and the Jubilee Mass sung by selected members of the Glee Club — in honor of Reverend Mother Mary Simplicia’s fiftieth anniversary. The superb quality of the voices was especially evident in the plain chants of the Gloria and the Credo; while polyphonic perfection was displayed in Montands Jubilate and SAagne Joseph. Glee Club [ 149 ] Mathematical Club Students of the Mathematical Club made its motif this year one of cooperation with the Gov- ernment. After the installation of Officers, the No- vember meeting was devoted to timely topics, such as Signal Communication, Paneling, Sema- phore, Morse Code, and Cryptography. Aviation held the attention of the members at the December meeting — including compass studies, a triangle of velocities, their current applications and exterior ballistics. The new year — and a new subject — Blue Print- ing, held the forte, with students’ sketchings. Use of measuring instruments in April and a general recapitulation of club work in May ended a year of patriotic endeavor. E Carrellas, M. Kelly, C. Reiniger, D. Nocera, G. McDonald [ 150 ] Reading Club [ 151 ] The rustic walls of Carondolet formed the back- drop for the Reading Club premiere at a Hallowe’en meeting where Barbara Browne played the role of Clifton Fadiman in a literary “Information Please,’’ giving a bouquet of war saving stamps to Rita Manion for her fine performance. Swiftly, the scene shifted to Regis Hall for the Mid-Winter offering of the literary daughters as the curtain rose on the traditional Christmas candlelight supper with Claire Sullivan as pro- ducer. In the Spring, a discussion of John Boyle O’Reilly featured Ann Coleman. The last presentation of the year pictured an al fresco meeting of the members with a picnic luncheon and book reviews on the banks of the reservoir. R McCabe, M. Mullens, P Daly, A. McCarthy E. Burke, G. Fleming Act I — The curtain slowly drawing apart, a hush in the house, we of the theatre presented the open- ing scene of the Dramatic Club of 1943. Applause reechoed for Eileen Burke, newly elected Thespian leader and her stage hands, Patricia Burns, Geral- dine Fleming, and Mary Heath. Act II — Mid opening night orchids, we emerged as Drizzle, Spiff, Rosey, Maggie, Jinx, and Minnie in Brief Musk, a true “epic of the age.” Intermission — and as a brief respite we presented three one-act plays — Her Day Off, Vacations Are Like That, and Madame ' s Dress Shop — for the bene- fit of the Mount Regis. Act III — The final scene and last act of our drama came and we reached our yearly climax in Pride and Prejudice, with Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters making the final bows on behalf of the entire Club. The stage doors close — we put away our property sets and draw the final curtain. Dramatic Club [ 152 ] Regis I. R. C. The International Relations Club based its dis- cussions this past year on the fundamental basis of a lasting peace. The season opened with a joint meeting of four Catholic Colleges in the East at Emmanuel — Boston College, Holy Cross, Em- manuel, and Regis. Leila Foley discussed Dis- armament,” a subject of vital importance in the aftermath of war. Transportation difficulties did not prevent the Regis I.R.C. from attending the New England meeting of the Catholic Student Federation of In- ternational Peace held at Providence College. Here again students discussed the peace aims and post- war period. The day of an animated symposium was followed by a Tea Dance. In February, the Club was presented with thir- teen books from the Carnegie Endowment; and in March, Regis played hostess to Holy Cross, Boston College, and Emmanuel, at a panel discussion. I A. Connell, A. Sullivan, L. Foley, R. Healy [ 153 ] G. Fleming, M. Curran, T. Murray Memorandum to the Mount Regis — The mem- oirs of four years are collected and compiled; the lives of 122, recorded and eternalized, are inscribed on your colorful pages in short descriptive sketches, bound with cooperation and congeniality, hoping to withstand the ravages of time. From a round of biographies, galley sheets, red pencils, picture taking, ticket selling, and tele- phone bridges, you emerged — like a voice coming forth from the wilderness. Your social activities were curbed by the war, but you managed a Bridge and Musicale at the Sher- aton and a trio of One-Act Plays. Now you stand, hopeful and new, at the bar of judgment. Your public is waiting; so, straighten your leaves, hold up your head, and smile. The Mount Regis [ 154 ] The Regis Herald With the customary harassed look of members of the fourth estate in the shadow of a deadline, the new Herald Staff stepped hesitantly into the Journal Room to produce the initial edition. The October issue, fresh from the presses, was the first brain child, a prodigy. Deadlines, cumbersome headlines, overset and underset copy, galleys, no longer held terror for the intrepid newsgatherers. Exchanges with collegiate papers all over the country made the work interesting, reading the jokes as the dummy was set up made it fun, and the taint of printers ' ink lent the stamp of au- thenticity. Continuing old columns, adding new features, they fashioned a true voice of the Regis Student Body. A clear, certain voice, the Herald promises a heartfelt prayer for peace. Riding Club A spring to the stirrup in Autumn, ' mid the golden trails and the falling leaves, announced the beginning of activities for the Riding Club. Classes were organized at the Card Riding School in Natick, and eager young horse lovers took to bicycles in order to reach their mounts. The Bridle Paths of Wellesley and Natick led them to the Wellesley Inn one day for a hot breakfast; at the termination of the Fall season. It was not until the last traces of snow had left that the eager equestriennes rode out to meet the green earth. The traditional Spring Program was transferred from the Campus to the Riding School itself. War sacrifice was experienced greatly by the Club members this year, as curtailed activities found them minus a Riding Meet, but plus a warm feeling of patriotism for having relinquished their chief annual event. H. Sullivan, C. O’Hare, E. McNamara, M. White [ 156 ] M. Hazebrouck, E. Farragher, M. Bryan, C. McDermott With the sound of the go” signal, members of the Regis A. A. began their annual game with an attack on archery in the Athletic Field where ar- rows were flying in the direction of the four winds. Between the first and the second quarters, some of the potential Olympic champions were seen cycling through the hills of Weston on crisp mornings of Indian Summer. During the second quarter, athletes drew swords in fencing duels, hit the birdie over the net in badminton, vied for the championship in intra- mural basketball, with time out for skiing, skating, and tobogganing. With the coming of Spring, the players moved to the outside court in the Athletic Field for the third quarter of the game which took the form of a demonstration of drills, games, and acrobatics. Finally, came the last quarter with its victory, banquet, and awards in letters and medals. Regis A. A. [ 157 ] Alumnae President OFFICERS Mildred Sheehan Canavan President Gertrude Grady Vice-President Mary Stokes Recording Secretary Victoria Lavallee Corresponding Secretary Roberta Macdonald Treasurer Regis Alumnae began its season of events in October with the annual Day of Recollection at the College, with Mil- dred Sheehan Canavan as Chairman of the committee. The day opened with Mass followed by a luncheon, two conferences given by the Reverend William J. Daly, and closed with Benediction. The December meeting found Alumnae members at the League House with Colo- nel William Cleary, Director of the School for Chaplains at Harvard, as guest. Later came the Christmas dance attended both by graduates and undergraduates at the Hotel Vendome, with Constance Dever as Chairman. Previews of the Spring fashions brought members to Filene’s in February, where Helen Flynn Lane was in charge of a Fashion Show featuring the latest styles in suits, dresses, and hats. June brought back the memory of her own commencement to each Regis alumna, while the Classes of ’33 and ' 38 met for the traditional reunions and all the members attended the reception for the Class of ' 43, this year under the direction of Elizabeth Donovan McCann. In spite of war conditions, the Regis Alumnae and its several chapters in Con- necticut, Lowell, Lawrence, New York, and Worcester have been able to carry on. Many members are serving their country as air-raid wardens, motor corps drivers, Red Cross workers, canteen helpers, while others are doing their share by enlisting in the women’s divisions of the armed services. [ 158 ] Guild OFFICERS Mrs. Leo E. Macdonald President Mrs. Edward S. Murphy First Vice-President Mrs. James T. Donovan Second Vice-President Mrs. Charles W. Finnerty Recording Secretary Miss Hannah A. Reardon Corresponding Secretary President Regis College Guild activities began this year on a distinctly modern note, as several of its members joined the League of Catholic Women’s group in selling bonds and stamps. The first meeting of the season was held at the League House, where plans were made for the Autumn Bridge at the Hotel Beaconsfield, Brookline, on October 31. The election of the new officers was high- lighted by a timely lecture, “Sacrifice,” delivered by the Right Reverend Augus- tine F. Hickey. A letter of thanks to the out-going officers was read to the assembly. November 17 — and the scene changed to the Copley Plaza, where the annual Fall Luncheon took place, under the chairman- ship of Mrs. G. Frank McDonald, Mrs. Roy E. Connor, and Mrs. Andrew Connell. Spring ushered in a new lecturer, Mrs. George Keeley, from the Saint Thomas More Bookshop, who gave “Glimpses into Recent Catholic Books.” A musical interlude was furnished by Miss Edith Long, soloist. Highlighting the Spring activities was an address by the Reverend John J. Wright, at the League House. His subject was “The Papacy and the War.” April found the Guild en masse at an- other of its successful bridge parties, at the Fisher School in Boston. Music and May joined hands on the eighth at the annual Pops Concert at Symphony Hall. Mrs. James T. Donovan was the Chairman of arrangements. The large attendance of the members at a closing Mass, marked the end of the year ' s activities. [ 159 ] In one brief period of finale, we engage in im- pressive ceremonies — enveloping, with dignity and grandeur, the epilogue of our story. Baccalaureate Sunday, a prelude to Commence- ment, brings a moment of tranquillity midst con- fusion of Class Day. In a trilogy of laugh, dance, and song, we lose our decorum to the hum of rolling hoops or the display of exhilarating equestriennes. The Muse of Poetry smiles as our troubadour emerges with the Class Ode; and a cloud of whimsey surrounds us. Peering into the future, we see ourselves in di- verse fields — far from Regis, but closely bound by its traditions. “Dancing in the netted maze,’’ the laureate states; so, we recall our Spring dance, where we caught fleeting happiness and held it prisoner. For posterity we have inscribed our Class History and Will. Degre e Day climaxes our journey — “The great ship, splendid with snowy wings voyaging into eternity. Our lyrist has taken his inventory; his pen lies idle. - — Here and There “En Garde! Advance! En Garde! is the heated cry as foils cut the air, fancy foot work is the demand of the minute, and red hearts on white jackets cover Gym uniforms. Or maybe it’s down at the rink with tubulars flashing across that clear blue ice. Skating skirts take over where gym suits left off — and Shoot the puck rings clear. If the Robin Hood blood is flowing through your veins and it’s archery you prefer, string along to the Athletic Field and man your bows — the Bull’s-Eye is the thing. Thursday evenings in Winter, Freshman vies with Senior— Junior with Sophomore as the annual Basketball Tournament gathers speed. It’s a sporting good time. Shoot, Joan, Shoot For the Honor of the Class You Will Be Fired When I ' m Ready . Gndley And Every where . . . . Presenting College life — its heartbreaks and chuckles, card games and Prom trot- ting in Brief Music by Emmet Lavery. We donned evening dresses or Napoleon cos- tumes, studied for comprehensives or cheated at bridge, as Spiff, Drizzle, Rosie, Minnie, Jinx, and Lovey. Patricia Burns, the poet who rimed her way out of the depths of despondency to the heights of lyricism, played the lead, with Gerry Fleming as the clever room- mate. Behind the finished production were hours of rehearsals, of furniture moving, of borrowing pictures, and hanging ban- ners. Here is the presentation; and, in these few snaps, Spiff gives Drizzle some room- mately advice; the intellectual Rosie declaims on the subject of Prom men; and Drizzle steps forth as the glorified Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. What Do You Suppose Men Say About Us After the Prom 7 ' ' That ' s easy, ' Better luck next time. ' ' Gentlemen, I Give You the Emperor ' ' [ 164 ] Look What He Calls a Fragment — Comprehensive Study There s Something About College That ' s So Precious While It Lasts [ 165 ] By Which Our Lord s prophetic words, Thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it, were ut tered over 1900 years ago; but in 1943, they are still pre- served as a guiding principle — a foundation for the vigor and zest with which Catholic youth will face the problems of a second World War. As members of that Church instituted by Christ and entrusted to Peter, the gates of Hell shall not prevail against us. It is June today, and, taking a far-seeing glimpse into the battle fields of Africa, the Solomons, and Alaska, we are able to visualize Catholic youths who are sacri- ficing their lives that the dreams of Wash- ington and Lincoln may arrive at a peak of realization. Catholic principles are guiding them, Philosophy inspiring and fortifying them, and Faith serving as a spiritual vanguard — a shield of safety, with its arms of Light and Truth. Their patriotism and the vital role they are enacting in the world at war, cannot be questioned. On this same day in June, thousands of Catholic College women will emerge from the protective guidance of their Professors and will stand alone to face a saddened and pagan world whose standards have been paled by Communism and Socialism. What can be their contribution to the war effort? The College woman, who has been nur- tured in the classics, guided by ancient wisdom, should be able to enter into any situation and make herself a leader. This era of national emergency is an apt time for the College girl to be ready to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar ' s. The WAVES, the SPARS, and the WAACS open a graduate field of concen- tration. They are active, live branches of defense and patriotic endeavor. Regimen- We Serve tation will not ruin the lady, nor need she descend from her pedestal because she wears a United States uniform. The Army and the Navy are democratic institutions. They offer to the Catholic girl a chance for subtle guidance, inspiration, and propaga- tion of the Faith. Because of the collegiate background of the Catholic girl, she should be more able to help her country and her fellowmen — through direct asso- ciation and example. For the majority of the Class of 1943, the greatest task will be to serve as an inspiration for soldier husbands and to pre- serve the sanctity of the Catholic home. Catholic mothers can foster Catholic ideals in children, to be manifested in succeeding generations. Here the teacher and the scientist combine in the building of a home. In times past, the Catholic woman has been criticized in her community for a lack of initiative and support. Today, it is the duty of every Catholic to render hours and effort in behalf of the Red Cross, the Salvage Committees, and the local milk funds. In a time of strife the commu- nity should be more closely interknit, and, it rests with the Catholic women to make this possible. The future of the Catholic College grad- uate may not be coincidental with her peculiar training. Perhaps the lure of novelty or the call of adventure may entice some into the great defense factories. God gave women a dignity that cannot be shed like an article of clothing. This quality should be innate in Catholic College gradu- ates, whether it be cloaked with the habit of the nun in the convent or beating in the heart of the overalled youngster at the handle of the riveter. To some, teaching appears on the hori- zon as a goal of activity; to others, the sci- entific laboratories or the realm of debits [ 166 ] and credits. In all professions, there will be found different classes of people, rich and poor, Catholic and Protestant, to whom graduates owe unbiased judgment, charity, and broadheartedness. To employers, they owe allegiance, co- operation, and a job well done. Assuming a task that is set before them, they should grasp it firmly in will and approach it with determination; this is the greatest gift that they can give to the war effort. Teachers moulding young minds with the truths of Catholicity and moral standards of Chris- tianity may bequeath to a future genera- tion a world of greater stability and love. Women in the business world, adhering to the standards of Ethics, should bring into their associations fair play and hon- esty. Girls who have been trained in Cath- olic laboratories should be willing to aid scientific progress in the dehydration of foods and discoveries of new substitutes and by-products, whereby their work on the home front may aid those on the battle front. These are the fields of concentration that greet the optimistic eyes of youth, and in every one there is one pervading factor that determines the negative or the posi- tive powers of Catholic influence. This intangible element is example. The Cath- olic College graduate through rigid ad- herence to the tenets of justice, prudence, and temperance may become an inspira- tion, emblem, and norm of perfection. Kindliness, friendliness, and impartiality are the earmarks of good breeding; there- fore, they should be the by-products of a rich cultural education. Regisites — you have received a Catholic education; therefore, you should bespeak its noble principles. In any chosen profes- sion, the manners of the individual exert some control over associates. Because you are a Catholic, and more, because you are a Catholic College graduate, you will be more closely scrutinized for faults and regarded more highly for the embodiment of your true education and fine culture. Catholic influence and Catholic example should engender a love of peace and good- will — two prime principles for the better- ment of society. Today is not a day to join with others in condemnation of the Versailles treaty, alone, as the fault of the present crisis. The fracas today is of deeper and more signifi- cant origin. Greed, hatred, divorce, and the worship of false material gods have eaten at the roots of civilization and Christianity. It is your privilege and your duty to be able to view the present situation with an initiated and unprejudiced eye and to make your contribution to the war effort, one not only in your choice of a position, but also in a firm endeavor to destroy these prime evils. Graduates — as you take your places in the world, you do so, unaided but not unguided. You represent the accumulation of a heritage that has been tended for centuries by Catholic priests and nuns who have given their lives to keep it alive. Pacifism is dead. This is a world of action, in which you stand, strong and sturdy in Faith and character. Whatever your choice may be, marriage, science, pedagogy, or the armed forces of your country, it is your duty as Catholic College graduates to be ready to meet the problems that con- front you and conquer them with assur- ance, to make yourself a center of improve- ment in the world, and to stand forth as the embodiment of the highest achieve- ment of Catholic religion, culture, and training, both in words and action, throughout this present crisis and your entire life. This is your role — this is the role of every Catholic College girl in the world at war. Mary E. Curran [ 167 ] Realms of Gold The interest displayed in Catholic Liter- ature is, undoubtedly, greater today than in any other period during the past few centuries. The whipping and vitriolic attacks of Voltaire, Rousseau, and other eighteenth century deists on the Church had considerably minimized the universal appreciation which previously had been granted to Catholic Literature and Art. Once again, however, in the twentieth century the influence of the great Christian masters on European society is being ac- knowledged. Catholic Literature antedated the agnos- tic and superseded the pagan — although inherently artistic, it condemned art for its own sake. It is becoming more and more evident that Catholic Art raised every structure worth looking at. It wrote the Divine Comedy and Morte d ' Arthur and, to some extent at least, the plays of William Shakespeare. Perhaps the greatest Catholic Poet was the fourteenth century oracle of the medi- eval world, Dante — the author of the great Christian Epic, The Divine Comedy. His exquisite descriptions of the Blessed Virgin and the Saints, his unrequited love and admiration of Beatrice, and his in- tense devotion to Our Lord are crystallized in his dramatic descent into Hell and re® corded in his divine terfa rima. He re- counted with detailed enthusiasm the terrors and horrors of the Inferno, into which he descended on Good Friday, April, 1300. By Wednesday of Easter Week, the sordid expanse of Hell has passed into the background and Beatrice leads Dante through the terrestrial Paradise to the Mys- tical Rose — the true abode of God. Taken allegorically, it is the story of the life of man, his pitfalls and accomplishments, and because of its intense religious zeal has become the greatest Christian poem. His English contemporary, Geoffrey Chaucer, is known as the Poet of the Dawn and Painter of Life. His Canterbury Tales, the great social chronicle of the fourteenth century, presented for the first time the re- lation between individuals and ideals. Humor absent in Dante is abundant in Chaucer. His Wife of Bath — “Husbands at church door had she five” — and the witticisms found in the headlinks and talelinks vouch for that. He is the poet of perpetual youth, new beginnings, and fresh enthusiasm. His symbol is joy and his songs are of March sunshine. “The Parliament of Fowles” paints a landscape drenched with color, music, and activity. The Tales is a storehouse. The Prologue has been called the first novel in English Literature. Katherine Bregy answers the query, “Did Chaucer’s all understanding, all pardoning art betray him sometimes in- to a tolerance toward sin as well as sin- ner?” She said, “No — the pilgrims are hu- manity.” They have a common goal — “The holy blissful martir for to seeke” — the shrine of Saint Thomas was to be their testing. It shall be proved who came for love, curiosity, and fear. It is to be their final judgment. And Chaucer leaves his pilgrims this side of that awesome goal — en route to eternity. One of the more recent writers and easi- ly the most outstanding figure of the Cath- olic Literary Revival was Francis Thomp- son. English letters since 1890 have pro- duced no poet equal in stature to him, whose work has survived because it em- bodies the essential qualities which every- where and in all ages mark good poetr y: metrical skill, richness of imagination, and sublimity of thought. His father wished him to be a priest; but, after a trial in the Monastery, his superiors de- cided he was constitutionally forgetful and [ 169 ] a dreamer. So he relinquished that goal and, like DeQuincey, became a drug ad- dict. He tramped the streets of London, as did Dante the descending spirals of Hell , knowing all sins and participating in them only by the consciousness that in himself was the seed of all these “fleurs du mal.” To Wilfrid Meynell, he owes a great debt of gratitude, for it was he who found him sunk in narcotics and encouraged the writing of the masterpiece Hound of Heaven.” Thompson has often been re- ferred to as the Poet of the return to Nature — of this he says, “To be called the Poet of the Return to Nature is something, but I would rather be called the Poet of the Return to God.” His “Hound of Heaven” occupies a unique and significant position among the rather large quantity of poetry in which the search of the soul for God has been depicted. From Spenser to Tennyson it had taken the form of a pure hopeful knight setting out on his quest for the Kingdom. Any treatment of the subject, Catholic Literature, would be incomplete without mention of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. He is popular — his remarks are common pro- perty — his portrait needs no signature. If, at times, the reader is confused by Ches- terton’s treatment — take the Man Who Was Thursday, for example — send him speedily to Manalive, easily one of the wittiest and most human books in the Chestertonian repertoire. Chesterton the poet is the poet with a sword. No man ever had greater fondness for argument or managed it on the whole with such out- standing success. No one has influenced Chesterton so profoundly as his bosom friend, Hilaire Belloc — the abilities of the two men are so complementary that the term, “Chester- belloc” has been facetiously employed by Bernard Shaw. The matter may be put briefly by saying that Belloc proceeds by straight lines like Roman roads, while Chesterton goes the same place by rain- bows. He taught the Englishman to laugh in the midst of oppressive German Phil- osophy and French Art. This is by no means a complete list of Catholic Authors, yet, four of the most popular and outstanding writers have been presented, and they exemplify to a great extent the Catholic spirit in Literature. Margaret H. Kelley Ain . True Interviews Barbara Browne [ 170 ] Darkness has enveloped the Regis Cam- pus; the ten o’clock bell has long since rung; and the College is fast asleep. As I lie awake, I can almost hear the stillness as it echoes through the Spring night and sighs softly on the balmy air. This is an evening of memories; it is our last night as students of Regis. Tomorrow we take the final step of our College career. Is it any wonder, then, that slumber fails to come? Silently, I tiptoe to the window and gaze upon that dear familiar Campus, now deep in darkness only faintly illumined by a few stray moonbeams. As I stand there, dreaming of the past, the darkness sud- denly fades. To my great surprise, it is a bright sunshiny day; gay frocks and happy faces dot the landscape; youthful laughter fills the air. Upon closer inspection, I End that many of the faces are familiar — they are the faces of my classmates — yet, they seem young. At last, it occurs to my puzzled mind that this is Registration Day, 1939- This is our initial entrance into the portals of Regis as students. As I try to grasp this fleeting moment, it becomes evanescent; and, from out the mist that was Registration Day emerge balloons, lollipops, pigtails and berib- boned maidens. On that day, amid good- natured taunts and jeers, we proved our- selves worthy of becoming true Regisites. Gone were any semblances of inflated con- fidence or sophisticated manner. The Sophomores exerted their untiring energy toward convincing us that we were “mere microcosms of the earth ; but, they con- cluded their rampage by clasping us, in the evening, to their collective bosom and guiding us to the Cafeteria. The hilarity of Initiation forgotten, we quickly settled down to the more sober routine of rising bells, morning Mass, classes, brisk walks to Weston, and les- sons. As my ever-elusive memory tries vainly to hold the happy hours, it slowly becomes clouded, only to burst forth anew amid riotous splendor of lights, music, laughter, and filmy gowns adorning starry- eyed lassies — the Harvest Hop and our sparkling debut to collegiate society. Always practical and far-sighted, we took time from our Parliamentary Law Class to elect our champions for the year. The results found Pat Gregory holding the reins, ably assisted by Gerry Deveney, Gertrude O ' Brien, and Mary Gallagher. Solemn moments in life are, perhaps, the easiest to retrospect on — for they leave indelible impressions upon our memories. One day takes precedence over the others, for I see the Altar of Our Blessed Mother decked with flowers and illumined by numberless candles. Reverently, we, the Class of 1943, approach to receive our Sodality medals and to be received by Our Lady as “her servants forever.” Now, we are Regisites in the true sense of the word and proudly wear our medals — our insignia as soldiers in the Army of the Lord. Darkness envelops the earth or is it the aspect of the halls of Regis at Mid-Years? Nancy Duggan very succinctly informed her friends, “It was the best of times evolved into the worst of times.” With the passing of the half-way mark, our Sophomore year seemed almost tangi- ble; and the days sped on, highlighted by the Pre-Lenten Dance, refreshments at Regis Hall, and the solace of Retreat. For many of us, this was our first “retirement into the desert”; and we floated home to our amazed families completely “out of this world.” However, we were rudely jolted back into this world, when the ominous report of Final Examinations reached our ears. “Sink or swim with ’43 became our mot- to; and, in traditional Regis style, casual- ties were few — and we swam triumphantly [ 171 ] into Sophomore year, a few months later. Ah, that year of self-effacement, that year in which our joy consisted chiefly in sharing, just a little, the glory of our Sis- ters — now Seniors and guardians of Regis tradition. Dreaming once again, I observe a stately figure clad in the age-old robes of wisdom, walking across the Parterre. Recognizing my Senior Sister, I shout a word of greet- ing. Just a little chagrined that she should ignore me, I suddenly realize that she is only a fragment of my memory picture. The sight of her — strolling along in cap and gown, bedecked with flowers — brings home to me anew that never-to-be-for- gotten Founders’ Day. Seniors were ec- static with the realization of a dream cherished since Freshman days; and we, the Sophomores, anticipated the hope that in two years the cap and gown would be ours. Amid the hurry and scurry of classes, the Sophomore Bridge, club meetings, basketball games, and lectures, we snatched precious moments to cast our ballots for Kay Foley, Gerry Deveney, Marie Carroll, and Alice Sullivan, as our guides to bigger and better things — in our second venture on the collegiate sea. With the advent of Spring, books were temporarily discarded and we solemnly listened to the inspiring Retreat lectures given by the Reverend John J. McElenev, S.J. Class Day, a medley of joys and sorrows, arrived too soon and we realized with saddened hearts that the time had come for us to bid our Sisters farewell. Their training was complete and now they were to embark upon their life’s voyage — forti- fied with the spirit and knowledge gar- nered in four years at Regis. Escorted by the fairest of our group, they trod the Campus for the last time. We must now travel alone; our turn has come to guide others and to introduce them to the realms of happiness we have known for two years. Memory does not linger over the past, but skips gayly along from one happy milestone to another. With that agility possessed only by the mind, I find myself suddenly submerged in the busy routine of Junior year. Ah, the thrill, the ecstacy of being Upperclassmen! The novelty of ten o’clock permissions was almost too much for some of us. As Patty Blunt insisted, she absolutely could not find enough to keep her busy until ten o’clock. How odd to see ourselves busily engaged in presenting Freshmen to the Faculty — stranger, still, to realize that they are our little Sisters, looking to us for direction and guidance. Can that glamorous maiden approaching me be our own Class Baby? Yes, it is Agnes Connell beneath a deep tan and a long bob! The years do, indeed, change us — but, I doubt if we ourselves notice it. No longer children, our conversations in the Recreation Room took on a serious tone as we discussed such subjects as Ex- perimental Psychology, Politics, and phil- osophic trends in Literature. Stimulated by our two champions, Mary King and Bette Casassa, we attempted to settle the affairs of the warring world. Yes, the war had affected us — coming closer each day, as one by one we bade farewell to brothers and friends departing for distant camps. Close upon the heels of the news of war came the peace and good fellowship of Christmas. At Regis, we Juniors, guided by President Leila Foley and her commit- tee: Olive Erickson, Vice-President; Joan Schmidt, Treasurer; and Alice Bronzo, Secretary; entertained the Seniors with songs, dances, and a one-act play, Four in a Tower. Spurred on by thoughts of Junior Week and the gay social whirl before us, we skimmed the hurdle of Examinations and planned for the long-anticipated event. With Mary Witham as our Chairman, we felt that ours was to be an uneclipsed [172] Junior Week in the annals of Regis. So it was! There we were — decked with festive corsages, flitting about the corridors, or entertaining our Mothers at a Tea in Regis Hall, with such talent as Mary Cassidy, soloist, and Gerry Fleming, whose presen- tation of Sisters-in-Law is unforgetable. This enchanting night of nights sum- mons the Prom to my mind. How I wish that I could retain that picture; but, all things are transient and Commencement soon superseded our glory and forced us to contemplate the more serious things of life — our own Degree Day, just one year away. Is there any Regisite who will ever for- get the solemn strains of the Recessional, as we emerged from the Chapel, full- fledged Seniors clad in the academic cap and gown, century-old symbols of wisdom and learning? With glad hearts, we fol- lowed Betty Cosgrove, President of the Student Government, to the Parterre, where we became subjects for the bevy of cameras and underclassmen awaiting us. As Founders’ Day fades from my vision, memory conjures up a fast-moving series of events: Class Elections, with Joan Caldbeck, President; Olive Erickson, Vice- President; Claire Sullivan, Secretary; and Dorothy Curran, Treasurer; free hours spent in selling War Saving Stamps; the Hallowe’en Party, which introduced the talent of Isabel Mahoney as a pantomimic; Field Work for our budding teachers and social workers; benefit Bridge and Musi- cale for the yearbook; the production of Brief Music — breaking the tradition of Christmas plays; and the Candlelight Pro- cession of Senior Carolers bringing with it the first hint of sadness and the realization of our last Christmas at Regis College. After Mid-Years, the time sped by on winged feet, until Retreat caused us to pause and prepare for the life hereafter, beyond the portals of Regis. That glorious month of Our Lady saw our fairest crowned May Queen by the at- tentive members of her Court — as Leila in turn bestowed her crown upon the Queen of Heaven — Mary. With Comprehensives still in the grim future, we forfeited all social life and steeled ourselves to earnest concentration in “the realms of gold.’’ We found our consolation in the words of a recent poet, “Even this shall pass away.’’ We little realize their basic meaning un- til, with grateful yet sad hearts, we receive into our hands the Degree of Bachelor, which spells Finis to our College career. The picture slowly fades; the soft breeze stirs; once more darkness envelops the Campus. I start from my reverie to find that silence enshrouds the landscape. Regis will continue year after year into eternity; yet, we must depart. With a firm purpose in our minds to trod the Way, to know the Truth, and to live the Life, we turn for one last glance; and, as we leave her standing proudly on the hilltop, we murmur softly that time-honored phrase, Are atque Vale. Patricia S. Burns We, the Class of 1943, being of superior mind and handsome body (despite argu- ments to the contrary) and realizing that there lies the danger — especially in these times amid the falling of bombs, the din of guns, and the roar of cannon in a war- torn world — do hereby pronounce the following to be our Last Will and Testa- ment. To the College: We extend our condolence for the inevitable blow it must be to lose 122 women of our calibre. As an antidote for our loss, we promise that at Alumnae socials the Class of 1943 will be 100 per cent strong. To the Faculty: We leave our sincere gratitude for their guidance and inspira- tion during our four years; and we hope that we may prove that we can pay divi- dends proportionate to the investment of hard days of toil and hours of prayer — which they spent in our behalf. To the Juniors: We bequeath the revered name of Seniors, our seven reserved booths in the Cafeteria, the front pews in the Chapel, the honor of being the first to begin the recessional, and an outstanding example of perfection. To Our Sister-Class, the Sophomores: We leave independence and a catalogue of telephone numbers in case they should need our advice. Also, we grant them two more years of nights not sojourning in the arms of Morpheus but bending over cum- bersome books and a cluttered desk. To the Freshmen: We give the admonition that all pleasure and no work will never make them equal to the present Senior Class or place them consistently on the Dean’s List. The individual bequests are as follows : Ann Lyons bestows her dignity and poise upon Mary Lou Gallen, who already possesses a reserve supply. Betty Henley bequeaths her fondness for ankle socks to an anonymous under- classman who won’t object to chiding. To Helen Sullivan, that versatile Junior, Gerry Deveney leaves her kind and friendly ways and an ever-ready smile. Mary Blake transmits her title, Bead- le,” to Fay Bresnahan, who, because of the fateful day of birth, inherited a sur- name beginning with B. Anita Maxwell relinquishes to Mar- garet Conroy her sudden attacks of am- nesia on Monday mornings, on which occasions she loses all sense of direction, especially for Regis. Unlike most victims, she gives physicians the puzzling symp- toms of always arriving at the same term- inus. Patricia Small passes on to the under- classmen her ticket for hostessing for Uncle Sam. Maybe a patriotic Junior would relish it! Had our annual Senior Polls included the most studious, Helen Garvey would surely have merited that laurel, which she grants to Margaret Eagar. Dorothy Mavrakos transmits a newly- acquired record of speed in Typewriting. She challenges Carol Boylan to surpass it. To find Anne Hughes, Elaine, and Eleanor apart would really be unusual — similar to meeting Charlie McCarthy without Edgar Bergen or McGee without Mollie. Their inseparableness is given to Harriet Lynch, Claire Watson, and other members of the Home Economics group. Joan Schmidt imparts to everyone the secret of her success. This is a well-bound book used for reference and entitled Flow to Pass. Incidentally, this text is invalua- ble for every library. Lillian O’Hara wills, in despair, to Nancy Concannon her bottle of Vitamins A-Z. They may have worked for you, Nancy,” she cries, but I am afraid they never will for me! [ 174 ] Helen Sullivan leaves to Patricia Dono- van of the Junior Class her unsurpassed disposition. Edith LaMarca gives her yen for men of the sea to anyone who may desire it. May we suggest such anxious recipients as Mary Lou O’Brien and Barbara Mc- Cormack? Mary McGovern, a Rhode Island student of tall stature, bequeaths some of her height to Lilliputian Joan Small. To the oncoming Junior Class, Betty Coppinger transmits her powers of con- centration on Tommy and her interest in the Religion and the Ethics Classes. Upon Alice O’Donnell, a girl of obliging disposition, Jean Muldoon bestows a record of universal popularity — won by a generous heart and charming personality. Lenora Sughrue relinquishes her raven hair and Irish eyes, with swooping lashes which could sweep the cobwebs from any- one’s heart, to Mary Hannon of the Junior Class. Do you recall the picture of last year entitled Kitty Loyle’’? Ruth Coughlin wills her comb, brush, and wasted effort to any of the Juniors who may have a passion for new hairdos. Mary Kirby, a concrete example of the adage Good things come in small pack- ages, gladly leaves College for a short business career — ending her business days in a small, white cottage; and, so, her success is bequeathed to secretarial stu- dents. Peggy Gallagher has experienced con- siderable trouble with her diet for the past four years. Hence, upon future dieters, she bestows the admonition, Just follow Uncle Sam- for he is obliging with the whys, the whens, and the hows. To the House of the Good Shepherd, Anne O’Brien extends her gratitude for the substantial lunches (for which she did not have to bring her points) and her experience gained in Pedagogy. Terry Murray leaves behind a trail of broken hearts and a heart like a revolving door, admitting a new love as each old favorite departs. Lrancesca Gallagher bequeaths a sharp and dapper style to Helen Harney, who may dare to put it to a further trial. To Mary Curnane, Jean Reid transfers her ability for finishing term papers and book reports, weeks before the deadline. Kathleen Loley wills to Marie W hite her criticism of Uncle Sam, who has ra- tioned every item except the species man. Upon Barbara Chisholm, Louise Sulli- van bestows the care of the Cafeteria patrons; and to Marion Poitrast, her technique for demonstrations and for rationing. Jane O’Brien bequeaths her fondness for men with army wings to Dorothy Goggin, who I am certain will help her sing their praises. Alice Sullivan passes on to Shirley Simmons her honored title, President of the Recreation Room, and a sum of money to purchase a recording machine for late afternoon pleasure. Eleanor Coffey relinquishes a reserved table at the Weston Spa; and Shirley, Jane, and Rita donate another in easy proximity. To Catherine McDermott, Mary Mul- lens transfers the knack of leaving on the last bell for each and every class. To Ann Stanton — provided that she share it with all resident students — Edna Barr leaves her car. Anna Hanlon relinquishes her ability and energy as a leader to Terry Toley, already very much skilled in the art. To Charlotte O’Brien, Margaret Gro- gan gives a curly top, beaming eyes, and dancing feet. Catherine Farrell and Olive Erickson pass on their song, Swinging Down the Lane, to two Mathematics majors, who are coming right along. Marguerite Macdonald leaves to Bar- [ 175 ] bara Norton her avid preparation and skill in conquering assignments. Dora Nocera wills to some fortunate — or unfortunate — underclassman her walk- ing shoes to pursue the route to a restau- rant proficient in the Italian culinary art. Upon a future major in Commerce, Helen McCarthy bestows her competence as a secretary, especially in the Personnel Department, where she would answer many a query. From Olympia Montenegro to Elizabeth Herrick is transmitted the duty of present- ing entertainments at all class gatherings. Anita Ennis’ contribution to Regis has already been made. She was the proud pos- sessor of one of the first successful feather cuts; hence, she gave the rest of the Seniors courage to forge ahead. Catherine Clinton gives Rita Dooley a fondness for the Bradford Ballroom, for the song, Jim,” and her Boston College spirit. Alice Bronzo bequeaths fastidiousness in her appearance to Virginia Bulger. Catherine O’Hare transfers her key, the formula for making Regis girls so sweet, to Elizabeth Conley, who already has assumed much of the responsibility for the task. Eleanor Neville leaves directions for finding the Lynn Catholic Charitable Bureau to a fortunate Sociology major. To Helena Ducey, who gave of her talents on several occasions, Rose Capa- chione, our Brockton soloist of repute, transmits her golden tones. Mary Heath bequeaths a character be- yond reproach to Mary Gordon, with the anticipation that Regis may have many more girls like them in the future. Katherine Clauberg has been concealing her poetic power for the past four years; but, now, she willingly gives it to a Junior English major. To Maureen Sullivan, who is so very meek, Helen Rogers relinquishes explicit directions for such bashful technique. Kathleen Creedon, sometimes called Speed,” leaves her endless list of anec- dotes, which she enjoyed so much, to Elizabeth Farragher. Nancy Duggan abandons College where she earned a record of admirable scholastic achievement — which she transmits to Bar- bara Browne. In conclusion, we, the Class of 1943, have to this our Will, set our hand and seal, this eighth day of June, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred forty-three. Eileen A. Burke Witnesses: The Little Moron Gremlin ll 1 176 ] To Be or Not To Be By 1955, the thriving and select town of Weston had made a place in the world of cinema with the establishment of its first theatre, the Regis Rendezvous.’’ Upon its opening, bank night co-starred with a March of Time, entitled The Ro- mance of Regisites, presenting the Class of 1943- I scurried to buy a ticket from Cecilia Reiniger, who used her Math to advantage in making change for the large bills the Regis girls handed her. Next, I hurried over to Doris White’s candy counter, where I discovered that she was still sweeter than any of her sweets. After Millie Trask had ushered me to a seat, meanwhile shouting, Shhhh! at the top of her voice to silence unruly members of the younger generation, the show began. The first scenes presented those who had remained in Weston to seek their fortune. Mary Curran and Peggy Kelley had estab- lished an express bus line from Regis to Holy Cross; but they had competition be- cause Marie Halligan was engineering the construction of a tunnel to B. C. I laughed when I saw Elsie Abreu operating the steam shovel and Margie Downey Bob ”- bing in and out as she measured the length of the tunnel. How amazed I was to see pictures of the career girls of 43! There was Pat Burns who combined two of her talents when she became drama critic of the New York Times, stressing the purity, cleanliness, and sweetness of the soap operas which Anne M. Sullivan wrote. I thrilled to see Evelyn Carroll on her skates cutting the figure eight in Roman numerals. Rita Keese had gone into Girl Scout work and was making an intensive study of Marine animals. Mary Kelly was statistician for a chain letter establishment and covered reams of paper with figures, proving that an invest- ment of one dollar would eventually pro- duceamillion, such an unusual inducement. The next scene gave us inside informa- tion on the 920 Club. Anne Cifrino sounded time signals every hour. I experienced happy memories when Betty Cosgrove melodiously rendered It Seems to Me I’ve Heard That Song Before. Gerry Fleming was employed here, too, composing jingles for advertisers. Now, the view shifted from the broad- casting station to the subways, where Anne O’Neill conducted tours of Boston’s sightseers. Patty Blunt, thanks to her success in C. S. and A. contests, managed all the magazine booths in the subway stations. Kay DeSimone toured the coun- try presenting a repertoire of French plays with Emily Piotti the heroine of every pro- duction. Other travelers were Jane Cox, Eleanore Kelley, and Mary Hickey. Mary, being a native of the Wild West of Massa- chusetts, trapped animals; Eleanore made coats of them; and Jane tried to sell them to Spaniards in Ecuador. Dorothy Curran and Pauly Sharby were maneuvering with test tubes; but they confessed that they were going to abandon them in favor of mixing bowls. We always knew Isabel Mahoney would be a model — in the line of housekeeping; and Betty McNamara followed in her footsteps when she joined the WIVES. At first, I thought there was a shif t to a mob scene, but soon I recognized Mary Witham. She smilingly admitted that her only troubles were little ones (yes, the whole ten of them); but I could see that her gentle disposition wasn’t even threat- ening to wear thin. The Kentucky hills formed the background for Claire Sulli- van’s work — teaching Dogpatchers the Bostonian accent. The commentator announced that the setting would shift to North Conway — Edith Bolduc’s Ski Side Inn, which ad- [ 177 ] vertised skiing lessons by Agnes Connell and ankles strapped by Elbe Lavoie. We were then treated to Boston scenes, June, 1955, in the form of a shopping tour, starting with a visit to Agnita Sheehan’s bakery. Through the window, we could see Helen Banks mixing Brann” muffins and on the window an advertisement for Joan Caldbeck’s Vermont maple syrup. Beside Agnita’ s bakery was the Five and Ten Dollar store, where Mary Bergin was demonstrating the application of check- ered nail polish. The next view showed Rose McCabe surrounded by two best sellers: Mary Rego’s book, Six Weeks ' Fxile; and Ann E. Sullivan’s Log of a Navy Wife. Rose ex- plained that Bette, determined to rid the world of little moron jokes, contributed Casassa ' s Comical Comments. Kay McDon- ald was selling baby chicks and Pat Con- nefy was nearby distributing recipes for fried chicken to Kay’s customers. Since Gertrude Dowd mastered Chinese, she had gone to work in Rita Hee Lee’s laundry (yes, Rita’s neatness had really gone that far). Next, I glimpsed Madeline Davis dem- onstrating “Sweet Slumber’’ mattresses in a furniture store by sleeping on one. Then, appeared a scene from Eileen Ryan’s Ritz where I spotted Ann McCarthy ex- plaining to her three daughters the origin of French terms on the menu. I could not contain myself for pride when there followed interviews with in- ventors. Louise Cleary and Leila Foley demonstrated their noiseless fire-cracker and Chris Connors displayed a serum which would make College Seniors im- mune to measles. Mary Hanlon had con- structed an apparatus replete with buttons, which, when pressed, would perform any desired Chemistry experiment sans too much effort. Ann McNally, however, had just obtained a patent for another button on Mary’s machine, thus requiring even less effort. Helen Brown conducted swanboat rides and Rose Mansfield tossed vitamin peanuts to the Hub’s pigeons. Another scene showed Eileen O’Brien translating for tourists the Latin labels on trees on Boston Common. Margaret Murphy was feeding frogs on one side of the Pond; and, on the opposite, Kay Herbert was catching them for Biologists. Phyllis Daly had been named permanent hostess at the Buddies’ Club. Next, the commentator explained that on Summer days Ann Horrigan fried eggs on the sidewalk, had them auto- graphed by the Governor, and then made a “pretty penny,’’ selling them as souvenirs. I was overjoyed to hear Rose Capachione singing, as Mary Cassidy played the hurdy- gurdy and Agnes Farley followed selling chestnuts. I caught sight of Mary Mullens on a soap box, delivering an erudite lecture on the comparative nutritive values of the hole of a doughnut and of the fragrance of Limburger cheese. Eileen Burke had interviewed the bench sitters in the parks and helped them to solve their life problems. One of them, however, resulted in a handsome bench sitter’s decision that Eileen was the solu- tion to his problem and the ever-obliging Eileen had decided to solve it for him. So ended “Romance of the Regisites” and as I left the “Regis Rendezvous,” I felt a tear trickle down my cheek for the sake of Auld Lang Syne. Fond memories brought me back to the children of the ration books who had experienced a scar- city of gasoline and nylons, but who cer- tainly knew no shortage of happiness and success. Nancy A. Duggan [178] Trees for Hope Within the tender protection of our Alma Mater, we are planting today this tree, a memento of our joyous days at Regis and a dedication to a veiled but hopeful future. The generous soil, warm and rich from the touch of Spring, will nourish the young life we are surrendering to it. Our tree will grow through the golden Sum- mer. It will plunge its roots deeper and deeper into the welcoming earth. It will draw sustenance from the fertility of the land, from the warmth of the sun, from the reviving freshness of the rains, drink- ing in strength and resistance from the mighty forces of Nature and ever advanc- ing in vigor and beauty. Of this hardiness our tree will have need. The gusty breath of Autumn and the snow-laden storms of Winter will whip its leafless boughs, testing the tenacity of its grip and the valiancy of its heart. Secure, the tree will await the verdant softness of Spring to resurge in splendor from its icy siege. We place this tender plant in Regis soil knowing from four full and fruitful years there is no kinder guardian of our trust. For we have been nurtured on this very soil; the roots of our loyalty and devotion are buried deep. The influences we have absorbed here were sweet- -the prolific emanation of Catholic education in all its culture, truth, and wisdom. With patience and understanding the Sisters of Saint Joseph have unfolded the flower of the noble heritage that is ours as daughters of the King, heightening our appreciation of beauty and of Faith. We have imbibed courage from the wealth of the past. We have been schooled not alone in the arts, literature, and practical sciences, but also in the lofty Christian ideals that will serve as our weapons against the dangers of the world we enter. For we leave this beloved College, our shelter and our bulwark, to face a world as stormy and as raging as the fiercest of Winters that may threaten our tree. Tense- ly we watch the man-made forces of hatred and destruction taking their toll in human lives. Only dimly are we aware of the subtle pressure eating into the hearts of men and threatening the foundation of civilization itself. By Charity, Justice, and Peace fostered here at Regis, we must counteract these deadly evils and spread the teachings of our Divine Master. As the years go by, our tree will witness the cycle of the seasons, maturing in grandeur to its ultimate perfection. Please God, may our lives tell a story as complete in spiritual strength, serenity, and beauty, until, like our tree, we shall know the transfiguration of Spring in the glory of the Resurrection and endless joy of Life Eternal.

Music by Schola Cantorum TO THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-THREE To face the realities of life is not to lose heart; it is not to lose Faith. Ten thousand difficulties,’ ' says Newman, do not make one doubt. ' ' And, no matter how your life may be compelled to the pursuit of the material as the concomitant of your vocation, you will find your real happiness to consist in your ability to dissect these realities, to estimate your life at its true value in the plan of God, and thus ori- entate yourself to the luminous vision of the essence of being. I think that you already have learned at Regis the secret of the scalpel, the secret of the school for saints. For that is the glory of Catholic Education, that it puts first things first. Your good Catholic fathers and mothers sent you to this College because they put first things fir st. The best was none too good for you; and, so they gave you God. My dear girls, you scarcely realize this, as yet. But the day will come when the tapestry that you weave, thread by thread, will be taken from its loom; and, as you look at the upper side, you will ivonder how your fingers ever cre- ated such a masterpiece. You will realize, then, that the days you will most vitally remember to the end of your life are your school days. Alice Meynell, in the last World War, ivrote a poem to the youths — mere boys — ivho had died in battle. She stressed the point that no matter how young they had died, they had already lived a long life: the long, long life of childhood. And, as your life lengthens out toivard the setting sun, Regis will no more be a mere school to you; rather, it will be a shrine, where the best treasures were stored by your girlish hands against the Day of Judgment. Emily Dickinson has a poignant poem which breaks the hearts of us who have been visited by Death. The sweeping up the heart. And putting love away We shall not want to use again Until eternity. Today, you are sweeping up the heart of your girlhood and storing here the sweet memories, the love of your youth. You will not need to wait until eternity to find them again. Their lustre will gleam upon your eyes as your daughters and your daughters ' daughters are drawn to the glory of this Holy City. For their inheritance, as your inheritance, will be the cunning which Regis gives to the hand to dissect the realities of life and to find in the process, by the grace of God, the unfor- get able vision of Truth, the Vision of God.

Come now and sing her praises, With the Class of ’43- Ring out the call to classmates, Over the road that’s wide. For though we re brilliant of thought and deed, We really must confess To Regis and our Faculty we owe all our success. Hail to our Alma Mater, Forty-three marches at your side! Hail to the Tower College And to all the happy hours, Under your fostered guidance. And your help through sun and showers. Ring out the call to classmates. Over the road that ' s wide. Daughters of Regis marching on, To glory and happiness. We hold aloft the torch of love, continuing on our quest, Hail to our Alma Mater! Forty-three marches at your side ! Monsignor Phelan [ 184 ] Commencement Ode Upon the shore of earth we stand and gaze Into the wide horizon, hearts ablaze With hope for what the future holds in store. The gulls into the distance seem to soar With perfect confidence. These little birds Enchant us with their songs that have no words! Silently the morning darkness turns to light Then dawn. The Ship of Life steals out of sight Into the realm of nowhere — its destiny A port beyond this land where there shall be Unending happiness. The going’s hard, But with our strength we can come forth unscarred ! The morning of our first day out at sea Is filled with youth’s undaunted memory. Life’s journey’s but a day, sad and gay, Just four and twenty hours of light, then night! Our lives are like a journey on the sea. At times the calmness reigns so peacefully We hate to see it pass. But then a squall Rises from silent waters to enthrall The very heart of man. The evening sky Has lost its brilliant hues. The birds’ songs die And all is hushed. We can but hear the splash And spray of water and the pound and dash Upon the ship tonight. We do not know If in an hour the angry gales will blow And break the peacefulness. Today we stand Upon the Ship of Life and in our hand We clutch the torch of Peace. We shan’t forget To guide our ship safe into port, nor let The gales too strongly blow. We have the key That leads to the Eternal Victory. It shan’t be lost! Geraldine A. Lleming [ 185 ] Patrons His Eminence William Cardinal O’Connell Boston The Most Reverend Richard J.

Les Compliments de Greetings from LE CENACLE LITTERAIRE THE RIDING CLUB [ 206 ] WHICH is the easiest on your eyes? Because intelligent men and women spend a good part of their lives reading the printed word, the question of easy readability of type is no mere academic one. But since no two people see type through the same pair of eyes, this has been a difficult question to answer. For people as a whole there may be no answer. Perhaps it is only as people are divided into age groups that a solution is possible. A type which is easy to read during childhood may not be the most legible to read during middle or old age. For art hi printing is not the way Of wild extravagance , ward display , But rather the unobtrusive thrall Of type that gives you no shock at all , But draws your eyes to the page with zest And holds your mind to the thought expressed; We must keep ourselves to this simple creed. Type was made — and is meant — to READ ' In an attempt to solve this problem, Carl P. Rollins of the Yale University Press conducted a University Type Test Poll in the following eight colleges and universities: Louisiana State, Mills, Amherst, Princeton, Harvard, Simmons, Syracuse, and Pennsylvania. The results of this poll show that of the twelve type selections submitted, Garamond, Scotch, and Basker- ville were preferred in that order. That this firm should have had fine versions of these three distinguished book faces for some years previous to the test indicates that we had foreseen and met the preferences of our college clients even before those preferences became articulate.
