REGINA COELI REGINA ♦ COELI Are, Maria, Portal of Heaven’s Sky, Gateway of Grace to searching hearts , Reign our Queen, Eternally. Ann M. Ford Published for REGIS COLLEGE WESTON, MASSACHUSETTS Foreword Once beamed Freshmen, now black- gowned Seniors, we pause to glance at the hill with its rainbow of traditions and college gaiety. We recall hours in the library, buried in stacks of notes, prom week ends, au- tumn leaves and crisp football afternoons, Katsura Drive in the rain, Christmas carols and candlelight. We visualize Spring and the May Pro- cession, twilight walks to the Grotto of Our Lady and to the apple orchard, long talks after lights out weaving webs of fantasy for the future, heated sessions in the Cafeteria when we were changing the world and a quiet hour in the Chapel. For these we thank You. Here is our album of memories, the story of four years of happiness. Never again perhaps will life seem so full, dreams so shining and ideals so untarnished. Yet this is not the end for ’56, only the beginning. These years have been but a testing ground for life whether it holds June roses, professional laurels or lilies of the cloister. When the auf Wiedersehens have been said, let this be a rosary of our growth, the joyful events, the glorious ones, tinted by a bit of sorrow. May the training we have received at Regis, spiritually, intellectu- ally and socially, fortify us with courage and inspiration. Now we are leaving as we came, to- gether, to realize our finest potentialities. Keep us safe under your mantle, Mary, our Queen of Heaven.

Stillness of night descends upon Regis, lending an an of serenity to the campus. Framed in the moonlight are Regis Hall, the Norman Tower and the Parterre. Serenity, Dignity Mark the Spacious Campus Spring Softly Shadows the Business Building Waiting for class in the Business Building provides an opportunity for leisure in the sun of a fresh Spring morning. Arms of Christ Ever Embrace His Campus A pensive mood , a gracious Host, a spirit of tranquillity and peace pervade the air, bringing joy and contentment to Regis in the Chapel of St. Joseph Hall.

Juniors “Memories are made of this”.. Ring Day joys, Junior Week activities, initiation to Seminar, upperclassmen at last. From those who trip blithely through Junior Year, one learns it is the happiest, lacking the finality of lasts and bringing many firsts. It is a year of belonging, yet a time of surprising discoveries, a paradox of living and learning. Classes Along with the comforts of a new li- brary and a lounge, the Juniors eagerly anticipate spending their last year in a modern new dormitory. And now, as the final days of May have passed and examinations are terminated, the Class of 1957 looks forward to another year of sharing hilarity and happiness together at Regis.

[ 101 ] Sophomore Leaders Halt Conference to Pose Sophomore Class Officers — Laetitia Albiani, Ellen Clark , Louise Letourneau and Joan Meleski plan the year s agenda of multiple underclass activities and traditions. Sophomores The Class of 1958 enjoys the inestimable privilege of forsaking the realms of aca- demic childhood and experiencing the pleasure known only to those participating in the second year of college life. Sophomores realize a sense of belonging, yet find wide areas of discovery. They are initiated into major fields but receive only a taste of concentration. This year ' s class can recall a Sophomore Week End and Dance, along with its an- nual duties as Councilors to the Freshmen. Last but not least, Sophomores take the final step which converts them into upper- classmen, the Reading Examination. Fifty-eighters certainly appear to be on an exciting threshold. May their last years be as wonderful as their first.

Freshmen Fortune smiles on the Class of ’59- Each member casually accepts the new Library, regarded with awe by upperclassmen. Freshmen spend free nights watching T.V. in the renovated Lounge, which Seniors recall as their library. Frosh are heirs also to the ultra-modern dormitory. With light-hearted gaiety, spiced by flashes of insight and maturity, ’59 won the Classes admiration and affection of the college. The Freshman social life is a subject of much speculation, as the newcomers leave with startling regularity for various tweedy campuses. Enthusiasm and adeptness in all fields — scholastic, dramatic, athletic and social, make this class one to watch for the next three years. [ 106] Herald and ' Bulletin Boards Inform Classes Key. Key.

Student Government Amid an aura of dignity and long-range planning, this year’s Student Council suc- ceeded in its aims to serve the College and to develop in groups and individuals a high standard of personal honor. Under the guidance of Marjorie Gor- man, President, and Mary Rose Campbell, Vice-President, monthly meetings com- prised open forums, encouraging student participation and interest in current affairs. Invited by the Council in November, Msgr. Daniel McColgan, faculty sociolo- gist, informed the assembly of the realities of the news-making Ellis Case. The progress of the ’56 Council was seen by many socials and Catholic Action on campus. Under planned integration, club activities, N.S.A. and N.F.C.C.S. found coordination in Student Government. Parliamentary law for assemblies was urged. The Leadership Training and Re- cruitment programs prepared future leaders. The coordinating organ of all student activities, Student Government promoted the ideal of a Catholic education, namely personal responsibility and respect among all members of a campus community. . . students, faculty and administration.

Under the direction of Mary Kelleher, President, the choristers captivate audiences. Glee Club The talented leadership of Sister Mary Bobola, new Moderator of the Glee Club, and of Mr. Berj Zamkochian, Conductor, was the soul behind the success and en- thusiasm of the 1955-1956 concerts. A new feature in this year’s program was the Christmas Concert, given on De- cember 12 in the Gymnasium for the stu- dents. The Schola Cantorum sang through- out the year for Cap and Gown ceremony, Dedication of the Library and for the So- dality Reception. The traditional Laetare Concert was given on March 11 at the Sheraton Plaza. Voices of Regis and Holy Cross echoed in solo and joint numbers. Under the guid- ance of Mary Kelleher, President, and the other officers, the joint concert was a thing of loveliness. Regis Night at the Pops highlighted the concert year; the Symphony Hall program artistically culminated the efforts of the Glee Club. Inculcating in its very being the cul- tural and aesthetic beauty that is music, the Glee Club strives to spread the love of music among its members and among all Regisites. 115] 1956 Mission Unit, Campus Fountain of Charity Missioners, Patricia Turner, Jane-Frances Murphy, Carol Hughes as Chairman, Frances Foley and Mary Lou Rawson meet to pose for the photographer and to arrange the Unit’ s activities, particularly fund raising campaigns for the Lay Apostolate. Mission Unit From the first Regis-staffed mission school on Guam in 1950, the Lay Apostol- ate movement has expanded to embrace closer domestic missions. Volunteers have increased from one to thirteen, and the Class of ’56 has gone over the top. Each volunteer offers a year of her life in the molding of young hearts and minds that might otherwise be neglected. The collaborative spirit of the whole Regis community is the foundation on which the movement is built. Recent Popes have emphasized the role of the laity in the world apostolate. The Clubs NCWC News Letter and the National Catholic Charities Conference have in- cluded the topic in their discussions. On the part of the serving apostle, the spiritual benefit is boundless. One of the graduates expressed it thus in a letter to Sister Mary John, Mission Unit Modera- tor. “Thank you for a year that has been plenteous in every way. During these short vanishing days, we intimately know that each of us has been more than privileged. We are carrying back experience to work with and upon for the rest of our lives.” [ 116 ] Athletic and Academic Interests Integrate I. R. C. . .

[ H8] Dramatists Check Theatre Agenda for ' 56 Regis Thespians, gathered together on the Parterre to discuss plans for the next Dramatic Club production, include Judith Lawson, Margaret Mary Carlan, Margaret Austin as President, Christina McKenna and Maryetta Loonier, representing each class at the college. Dramatic Club Opening a busy and profitable season, the Dramatic Club presented Seven Nuns at Las Vegas, November 29- This hilari- ous comedy concerned the miraculous in- tervention of St. Joseph in transporting a convent and its occupants to Las Vegas from eastern soil. The annual Christmas play, written by Frances Benson, was entitled Home for Christmas. It centered in the lives of a group of working girls in the Christmas season. Changing the tempo for the February production, the Club successfully presented The Heiress by Ruth and Augustus Goetz, adapted from Henry James’ novel, Washington Square. Margaret Austin, who showed her ability as actress, por- trayed the leading role. Elizabeth Keane as costume designer did a laudable job. The Thespians went on tour with the produc- tion of The Heiress at Fort Devens. A musical comedy, Perfect Young Ladies, by Sally Donovan and Patricia Cannon, was given to the students, April 26. To culminate the season, dramatists held their traditional social, a spaghetti supper, in Regis Hall. [ H9] 1956 Business , Economics Add Laughs to Plans HcOHOlHiSt ' S • . .

Regis Night at the South Shore Music Club spotlighted the operetta, “Sweet- hearts.” The Hotel Somerset provided the setting for the Fall Fashion Show, with the Harvest Hop a follow-up. December spelled a gay month. Alumnae renewed friendships from college days at the Holly Tea in the Foyer. The end of the year sponsored the gala Noel Ball. Members of the Junior Class stepped into the ranks of the Alumnae at the Ring Day ceremony, with the R ing Dance adding a festive tone in the evening social program. Sister Mary Augustine, S.M.S.M., ad- dressed the Association at the annual Communion Breakfast on campus. After a successful beginning last year, the Children ' s Fashion Show was once again highlighted. Following in rapid suc- cession came the Reception for Seniors, Regis Night at the Pops, Regis Night at Blinstrub’s, Baby Day, the anticipated reunion and Baccalaureate Sunday. The Library Drive emerged a smashing success under the direction of Mrs. Wallace Haley. New alumnae clubs sprang into being with potent plans for a scholarship program to make Regis better known.

Mrs. William Moran, President, was in charge of the functions. November saw the initial social, a Des- sert Bridge held in College Hall. Then fol- lowed the traditional Christmas Sale at Regis Hall. Anticipated by Guild and stu- dents alike, the Sale surpassed expecta- tions, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Leon LeClair. A round of house parties proved the ever-present enthusiasm of members during the winter months. Fr. Christopher P. Griffin, Chapel of Mrs. William D. Moran, President Our Lady of the Railways, Boston, gave a spiritual message to Guild members at their annual Communion Breakfast held in the college dining hall in the Spring. The Executive Board voted to give an Allen organ to the Department of Music at Regis College. Directed by Mrs. Francis Dillon and Mrs. Graham, Regis Night at the Pops proved its perennial popularity to the delight of a capacity audience at Symphony Hall.

[ M2] We Shall Say Goodbye ’til It Be Morrow Epilogue The constant rays of the sun slowly low- er behind the Regis campus and rise once again to streak with red and gold the eve- ning sky. Like the departing sun, we too, the Class of 1956, leave the familiar and face a new and uncertain future. But before we depart, we stop to recall past days. We have followed our college years at a quickened pace. But the labor was not ours alone. Within these walls we sought and found a heritage of life, truth and Faith, a heritage freely given us by God, our parents and our faculty. We thank you and call on this heritage to lead us for all eternity to the just and right path. Academic robes we now proudly wear are a symbol of the knowledge and bond of unity spread before our youth. It remains our duty and privilege to keep alive this symbol through the bright flame of sanctity. The sun has climbed its zenith and gone beneath the earth. But the beams of a more constant sun will break through and we will look again to our years at Regis with happiness. Here we learned the true meaning of life. It is not for the wisdom or the learning or even the friendships we formed, Regis, that we rise at your name. Our ardor springs from the sweetness of our days with you, from the love, the truth and the Faith which we found in your way. On the Partem, Mary Rose Campbell , Marjorie Gorman and Bea Pattavina discuss their last official activity at Regis — Graduation. [ 143 ] Patrons Most Reverend Richard J.
