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.

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.
