Published for Weston, Massachusetts REGIS COLLEGE li £ Ifie MOUNT REGIS ‘♦WWW! nuf i : ■ « Foreword We’re the Class that’s all together Though we may be miles apart The day which we thought would never come has finally arrived. Four years ago it looked an eternity away. Now, in retro- spect, it seems a short time to hold so many treasured memories of college life. We pause here at our long-awaited goal to review the carefree moments and the solemn traditional occasions which have marked our four years at the College of the King, high on the hilltop. We hope that in leafing through these pages, you will catch at least a glimpse of the spirit which has characterized the Class of ’55 — loyalty, to one another and to Regis. Through proms and parties, Seminar and Sodality, we have always united to form the loval whole. We hope that the closely-knit bond which has marked our Class since early Freshman days in 1951 (Was it really that long ago?) will never diminish. And though some of us will never meet again, this book will always serve as a reminder of our four most treasured years. It will recall memories of free hours spent over coffee in the Caf or in the Cottage, or just gabbing, mingled with the hours of midnight study at the Proctor’s desk and the last-minute dash to beat Father Har- rington into Ethics Class. Though we are now leaving all this ga- iety behind and embarking upon a new life, we feel confident that the education we have received under the banner of the Way, the Truth and the Life will fit us for all tasks, be they spiritual, intellectual or social. May we ever be grateful for this priceless gift.

It is a cacophonous symphony, but a lovely one as well. For in the new Regis Library is sym- bolized the growth of a thriving young institution. It is a good sound, this — young and powerful and strong. Carl Sand- burg might have written this poem. It is growth. But Regis has not grown alone. On the eig hth of November, 1944, Richard J. Cushing was installed as Archbishop of Boston. To an old Bishopric he brought a zealous, unflagging youthful energy. Now after ten years much stands as a memorial to his labours. To the causes of education, the sick, the poor, the aged and the young has come the bounty of his generous heart. On this then, the tenth anniversary of his installation, we dedicate the 1955 Mount Regis to a well-loved patron. His courage is an inspiration. May we learn much from his example. May we retain the fire which is ours now and which has always been his. It is no platitude to say we now face the world. We do, indeed. Well then may we hold the torch of idealism high. It will flicker some- times, certainly, but we have seen it flam- ing. May we never let it die. mmm View from Columns Catches Spring ' s Splendor Springtime and sunshine find Kegi sites outside the buildings in last-minute preparation for classes. From the library windows two groups of students are glimpsed on the Parterre of College Hall. God ' s Presence Enfolds Campus in Serenity Inspiring, liturgical Holy Family Chapel in St. Joseph Hall radiates peace and contentment j or all who enter. The Presence of God is felt on every part of the campus, hut in a special, enduring way here. Scenes of Treasured Moments Linger in Mind Regis ' celebrated Norman Tower stands proud and majestic amid early Spring blossoms and verdure. The Tower adds to the dignity, stability and high-purpose found on the college campus. Spiritual, Intellectual and Social Integrate The Blessed Mother and St. Joseph are as prominent in the hearts of all Regis students as are their beautifully-executed statues in the College ' s lovely Chapel. Our Lady ' s shrine in the Grotto is a private place of devotion for countless Re gi sites who go there unobserved , to pray and implore her blessings. College Hall , Nucleus of Scholastic hiving Early evening settles , soft and tranquil, on College Hal! in Summer This is the season when the repose of Regis remains unruffled. Hilltop Springtime Heralds Commencement Day Mary Hefron gathers a bouquet of rhododendrons , as Nancy Goggin smilingly indicates her preference. Spring and Summer find the blossoming of lovely flowers throughout the Regis campus. September Finds Students Eager for Studies Regis students attend the Mass of the Holy Spirit to ask blessings for the coming school year. RATION Our beloved Archbishop Richard J .

Attendance at Mass Puts a Glow on the Day A Day Regis College students begin each day by assisting at the celebration of Holy Mass, celebrated by Fr. Edward T. Harrington, Chaplain.

[ 101 ] Junior Officers Review a Busy Schedule Chosen to lead the Class of ' 5 5 during the Junior Year are Carol Bonner , Secretary , Mary J . Getzfread, Vice-President, Mary Alice Powers, Treasurer, and Mane Vasaturo, President. Juniors Junior Year is claimed by those who pro- fess to know as the best of four magic years on the hill. It is undimmed by the sadness of lasts — the last Christmas ban- quet, the last big college week ends, even the last classes and the chance to saunter unhurried in the Spring sunshine. Junior Year bears a tradition of happiness. The Class of ' 56 follows this tradition very well indeed. To the Seniors, the Class of ' 56 is known for support of every college activity. And this support is willingly given with a zest peculiarly their own. This joie de vivre they bring to every- thing — the Junior Bridge, Ring Day, the crown of Junior Week and even the weekly talk-marathons, popularly known as Sem- inar. In the haze of memory, the Junior Class is a bright flash. 1955 - [ 104 ] It ' s so hard to study on such a beautiful day. But Marj Gorman , Anne Delay and Claire Flynn make a determined and supreme effort to prepare for class. Classes Seminar, Study and Mail, All-Engrossing Glimpsed in the Periodical Room are Mary C.

Sophomores The Class of ' 57 returned in September with a sense of really belonging. This was attested by the squeals of greeting in the Locker Room and along the corridors. We’ve all worn the same glow. This is a busy year. Activities of the Sophomores are many and varied. They range from the Gym Field (skinned knees, archery burns) to the outstanding work of Sophomore Recruitment. Among the waitresses, Sophomores com- prise a goodly number with memories of song-fests in the kitchen and helping Deely and Frances. Spring brings with it a feeling of nostal- gia and perhaps a good sniffle at the Sophomore-Senior Communion Breakfast. And, of course, one never forgets the Daisy Chain on Class Day, which non-privi- leged call the Dandelion Chain.” 1955 [ 108 ] Miss Robinson, Dr. McCarty Kept Occupied Linda, Ginny, Kay and Renelle, ready to go for pizza, stop to sign out.

Freshman Officers Smile for the Camera Man Energetic, conscientious workers are Officers Pat Graham, Vice-President; Jane Leahy, President; Jill Delay, Treasurer; and Ann Maloney, Secretary, who meet to discuss Freshman Week-End. Freshmen A lively-tempered and good group characterize the Class of ’58 — - the babies of the College. However in this, the most difficult year of adjustment, Freshmen have conducted themselves in a far from in- fantile manner. Of course, there was the much-heralded “Zoo Parade. But this was obviously an unusual manifestation of the Christmas spirit on campus. From the first week of school they be- came an accepted and integral part of Regis. Participating in all activities from plays and social events to matters a trifle more weighty, they revealed a willing and cooperative spirit. Not all has been sunshine for the Class of ’58. The death of Mary Goggin in an accident cast a shadow that her classmates cannot soon forget. 1955 - [ 112 ] Underclassmen Snapped in a Serious Mood Maureen Kelleher , Madeleine Crepeau and Patricia Burke find enjoyment in reading spiritual pamphlets, always available for the students ' use.

Good, President This year the Alumnae Association has been especially busy, adding two events to a full program, under the direction of Mrs. Paul Good, new President. The first of these was Regis Night at the South Shore Music Circus, where alum- nae enjoyed Noel Coward’s lovely operetta, Bittersweet.” Fall days were sparked by work on the annual Fashion Show at the Meadows, followed that same evening by the traditional Flarvest Hop. Then came the anticipated Holly Tea and the long-awaited Noel Ball.

A Children ' s Fashion Show in the Gymnasium was the second of the new events. Then in succession came the Recep- tion to the Seniors, Baby Day, the Re- union and Baccalaureate Sunday. To maintain enduring interest in Regis, Mrs. Wallace Haley, Chairman of the Library Building Fund, sponsored a drive to fulfill the Alumnae pledge of furnishing the Reading Room. In so doing, the Asso- ciation stands as the biggest sponsor of the new building and its members remain ever faithful daughters of Alma Mater. Guild All women with a personal interest in Regis, including alumnae and mothers and friends of the students, comprise the active membership of the Regis College Guild. Serving her first year as President, Mrs. William D. Moran has been largely re- sponsible for the success of the various activities. Along with the regular monthly meet- ings on the third Tuesday, the Guild spon- sors many enjoyable social events. The season opened this year with an Autumn Luncheon in October, followed by the traditional Foyer Bridge, an afternoon always eagerly anticipated by all members and their groups of many guests. The annual Christmas Sale and Tea took place on the campus at the gaily-decorated Regis Hall. A series of House Parties was given at the homes of members during February. The monetary result of these parties def- initely aids the full-tuition scholarship awarded by the Guild. At the Communion Breakfast, the Rever- end J. Edward Nugent, C.S.P., discussed Catholic Action and Convert Making.’’ To all who participate in any way in this organization, the Class of 1955 wishes to extend humble appreciation and sincere gratitude.

Athletics blends harmo- niously with the academic rule and stu- dents find moments of mental relaxation in keeping physically fit and in exercising their code of sportsmanship. Fall, Winter and Spring boast varied ac- tivities of field hockey, volley ball, basket- ball and tennis. On the social agenda the annual sojourn in Bermuda offers many hours of expectation and reminiscing. Sun, fun and fresh air, mingled with a spirit of competitive friendliness, predom- inate the student-faculty softball game which brings to a close a balanced round of sports at Regis. Field Hockey players , Gloria Mucera , Alice McMahon, Barbara Caruso are set for action.

[ 148 ] Unity Strengthens One in Prayer, Endeavor Epilogue Regis stands in silent beauty to acknow- ledge a final greeting from the Class of 55- We have nourished ourselves on the spirit- ual and intellectual elements of a Catholic college which enables each of us to claim membership in the physical body of Regis in accord with the Mystical Body of Christ. To share our personal achievements among ourselves and the Faculty has been a privilege. With a melancholy sigh we wrap the countless memories of four years in silver paper to be brought out tomor- row, next year and for a lifetime. Gay and sad memories are to be lived in retrospect. There are friendships made to keep beyond the halls of Regis. Together we have studied in the library, laughed in the Pavilion and cried at the last rendition of our Class Song. These things we will wrap in silver pa- per. They have bound us to traditions and ideals which rate high in the process of mental and physical growth. And now we are one. Tomorrow we are many. Our sights are set for countless un- dertakings and suddenly we come forth as worldlings, each to her own and all to Christ. Baccalaureate, Graduation and a final gathering on the Parterre bring four years to a close. Reluctant to leave, yet with a feeling of accomplishment, we take an- other step along the Way with Truth and the Life for Guidance.
