Dominican University Archives THE VERY REVEREND SAMUEL CHARLES MAZZUCHELLI Order of Preachers 1806-1864 The nineteen hundred forty-six issue of the SHIELD is dedicated in affectionate salute to the Very Rev- erend Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli, O.P., pioneer priest and rennote founder of Rosary College. Father Mazzuchelli was a faithful American and a peerless Dominican priest whose consecration to the saving of souls in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin made him not only an architect of churches, but also a builder of men's minds. Just one hundred years ago this spring, Father Samuel laid the foundation of his Sinsinawa Mound College for Boys. This College was the nucleus from which Rosary College was eventually to emerge. For us, Father Samuel exemplifies the virtues of charity, zeal, piety, modesty, and patience. We join with his other admirers in saying that he was . . . in every attitude the man of God, his every relation with his fellow-men revealing the spiritual lucidity of his inner soul, his every act sending forth the fire of love that burnt so brightly within him. I' ' Students at Rosary are under the guidance of an able chaplain. The Reverend Frederick Klueg, O.P., who is present on the campus to conduct all religious services for the girls and to give spiritual coun- sel. The Reverend Frederick E. Klueg, O.P., S.T.Lr. Sister Mary Peter, O.P., is the President of Rosary College; Sister Mary Aurelia, O.P., is the Dean; Sister Mary Benvenuta, O.P., is Dean of Women; and Sister Mary Gretchen, O.P ., is Assistant Deon of Women. The ideal of the College Administration has alv ays been the perfecting of Cath- olic young women. This is the traditional Rosary aim and it is the end toward which every activity, religious, scholastic, and social, is directed. lie Senior C ic We, the class of 1946, entered Rosary College with a serious realization that our education was a privilege — we were studying while the boys of our generation were fighting on foreign land to preserve the rights that we had always taken as a matter of course. And now, the first peacetime graduating class in five years leaves these halls of learning to help make a better world and to help maintain the peace for which so many of our boys died. We implore the aid of Our Lady of the Rosary to give us courage to meet the difficulties that may confront us. 1 ANDERSON, BETTY English BARTON, PATRICIA English BUSH.

Here they are, the members of the Junior class, over- flowing with vim, vigor and mentality. There is never a dull moment for this group because there is too much to do and they are too busy doing it. In the pages that follow they illustrate a sampling of Rosary's intellectual pursuits. THE JUNIOR CLASS RELIGll ON and Through a more extensive knowl- edge of the fine points of her Faith, the Catholic student finds her own spirituality increasing pro- portionately with her ability to de- fend her position in spiritual mat- ters. She is enabled to assimilate the fundamentals of Faith and to view them in relation to reason. A presentation of the Church's moral teachings in their bearing upon various aspects of life benefits her in a practical way. Outside the actual classroom, she finds within the school many religious opportu- nities and services at her disposal. The integration of religion and philosophy constitutes an over-all view, which is sadly lacking in the modern world. The student learns the powers of the mind, the proc- esses of reasoning, and ethics in correlation with her faith. She is thus provided with an inflexible set of principles in a world which seeks to deny principle. PHILOSOPHY Ptiilosoptiy courses occupy an important place In the Rosary curriculunn.

German, Greek, Italian, Latin Music, Spanish, and Speech classet are offered to students who plan to' make practical use of these sub- jects in their chosen work and to students who are interested in gen-i eral human relationships. ! The aim of the Humanities De-i partment at Rosary is to aid stui dents in self expression, in adjust- ing themselves to social life, and to help them develop a deep appre-; ciation of fine arts and varied cul-i tures.

The world stands at a crucial point, e physical sciences have almost over- pped the mark; and it is up to the social iences to maintain the balance. The Atomic Age clamors for historians o know their subject well, and interpret with unbiased minds; economists whose de of ethics is Christian, and who do not se sight of I he individual; political scien- sts who labor for the good of nations, Uher than the good of self; and sociolo- lists with the human qualities necessary to jnit together the ravelled threads of shat- sred lives and broken nations.

Ulctor d onc (Committee One of the biggest feathers in the Sophomore cap is the work of the Victory Bond Committee which at the time the SHIELD went to press had secured the purchase of $160,000 worth of bonds and $3,000 worth of stamps. The Committee has an exclusively Sophomore membership for the first time since its creation in February, 1942, but it is backing an all-school activity. It hopes to encour- age each student to buy enough stamps to fill one stamp bock and then to turn it in for a bond. The Sophomores knew where to turn for inspiration. They adopted the Infant of Prague as the special patron of the Victory Bond Committee and, entreating His help, organized their meticulous plan of operation. As a result, the residence hall has been canvassed by avid committee members every Tuesday night, while the non-residents are accosted four times a week by persistent saleswomen from their Lev is Memorial bond booth. The most ambitious and fruitful publicity attempt of the Victory Bond Committee was a Decem- ber bond rally, supervised, scripted, and successfully executed by Sophomore recruits. A second publicity stunt was carried out after Easter. At that time, breakfast in bed was served by a faculty member to the five girls who bought the largest amount of stamps within a given period of time. 35 36 FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Cleo O'LaughIrn, secretary-treasurer, Virginia Dunn, vice-president; Carol Stuti, presidant. We are the Class of '49, known as Freshmen to our fellow students. Since entering into our new college life we have worked eagerly for Ihe furthering of our Catholic education. We've asked the help of Our Lady of the Rosary in our striv- ing to live up to the ideals of the College and to build up the honor of our class. Now with her patr onage we've made our mark scholastically and socially. We're most proud of our honor roll material and of our two major activilies, the sponsoring of a gala Sf. Patrick's Day Party and the editing of the spring edition of the ROSARIAN. Leading the class to the achievement of its goals are three able and popular officers: Carol Stutz, president; Virginia Dunne, vice-president; and Cleo O'Laughlin, secretary-treas- urer.

High Mass, celebrated by the college chaplain, begins the day's activities. Services continue in the afternoon with the recitation of the rosary in the chapel and a sermon by a guest speaker. The ceremony in the chapel is concluded with the blessing of the roses, lighting of the sym- bolic peace candle, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Alum- nae and guests then receive roses and candles and walk in procession to the grotto where the Litany of the Blessed Virgin is recited. The day is brought to a close with a special evening service attended by the resident students, which begins with a procession to the grotto, fol- lowed by the recitation of the rosary and the MEMORARE, and concluded in the chapel with Benediction and the blessing and distribu- tion of roses. i''ifltilih'iiiiiiiiMiTii Candle light, a smooth floor show, fine food, gay music, and the favorite gentle- man for a dinner partner — sounds like a per- fect evening, doesn't it? That's exactly what it was! The annual Father-Daughter dinner given by the Home Economics Club on October 24, will long be remembered for the appro- priate welcoming addresses of Sister Peler and Father Klueg, the complete roast tur- key dinner, the amusing songs by Corinne Cohan, and the rousing, if slightly off-key, group singing after dinner. When the last baritone note had died away, fathers, daughters, and faculty members attended Benediction in the chapel. Later they re- turned to the social hall where the students presented their fathers to members of the faculty. Dad had a greai time — he said sol Corinne Cohan entertains at banquet.

F A T H E R D A U G H T E R D I N N E R 45 Reverend Edward Wieber, S.J. Retreat Macter While the polluted stream of mock reality flowed on unchecked outside the walls of Rosary, wilhin, all co-operative souls were being bathed in the revivifying waters of grace. Prayer, the pause that refreshes, in the words of the retreat master, Father Edward L. Wieber, S.J., marked the prevailing spirit of the students' retreat on November I and 2. For two tranquil days, the whirlpool of everyday trivialifies ceased. For two fruitful days, inventory v as taken; eternal values were weighed. Christ was knocking and spiritual ears hearkened. Old themes came alive again with new freshness — the thrilling mystery of the Trinity, God's abounding love for mankind, hope for salvation through Mary. Old promises were renewed. The end of Retreat saw a spiritual vigor manifest. A world of unbelievers seemed easier to conquer by students who carried away remedies for pettiness and ingratitude. They were ready now to return to the French devoir and the test tube. They had been refreshed. Student prays at Grotto. November fourth is traditionally a day of celebration at Rosary College, for it Is the birth date of the Very Reverend Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli, CP., foun- der of the congregation of Dominican Sisters at Sinsinawa, Wisconsin. Father Samuel was an Italian Domin- ican priesh v ho adopted America as his special field for missionary work. His In- fluence upon those v ith whom he came in contact was remarkable. He won many converts, both among the heathens and among non-Catholics. His kindness and devotion were a legend among the Indians and settlers of the lllinois-lowa- Wisconsln region from 1835. Memories of Father Samuel even today retain their vigor in that land. This year the celebration of Founder's Day was put into the hands of the stu- dent body. After a solemn high Mass celebrated by the chaplain. Reverend Frederick Klueg, O.P., Seniors Rita Pe- trick, Lorraine Delany, Mary Alice Bush, Mary Virginia Doyle, and Corinne Co- han spoke in an all-school assembly on the various and exciting aspects of Fath- er Samuel's life.

F O U N D E R D A Y 47 s E V E N M I R R O R S A scene from SEVEN MIRRORS. 1+ has long been a policy of Grex to produce good ifieater, sometimes In old plays and sometimes in new plays. THE SEVEN MIRRORS, the first red letter day on Grex Guild's calendar, was an example of experimental theater. In this play an attempt was made to combine the elements of modern theater: color, sound, action and movement. In December was given the traditional Christmas play. Fantasy found its place in the production of CINDERELLA. THE WOEFUL BETROTHAL was an original play patterned after the Commedia Del Arte. The final play of the year was a period play, MOOR BORN, dealing with the tragedy inherent in the life of the Bronte sisters. OFFICERS OF GREX GUILD.

Sixteen inches of snow and a very below zero temperature lent lest to the skiing, tobogganing, and skating. ... a wonderful time was had by all! 53 55 MARDI GRAS The night of March 5 was a red letter occasion long to be remem- bered, for on thai- date Torch, Delta Sigma and Calaruega pooled their interests and came up with a Mardi Gras to surpass all Mardi Gras's. Everywhere one looked there were fascinating costumes and all types of entertainment. The highpoint of the evening came with the entrance of the queen and her courl- into the gaily decorated Social Hall. Queen of this night of revelry was Sophomore Grace Wright. Her attendants were Jeanne Crapo, Jeanne Flanagan, Gloria Rino, Marie Walsh, Audrey Brekke, Sue Caron, and Patricia Campbell. S t Shamas Aqnfnas PATRON of CATHOLIC SCHOOLS and THE ANGELIC WARFARE . CONFRATERNITY On March 7, Rosary College celebrated the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas with a special program. The ceremonies began with Mass for the entire school in the College chapel. In honor of the occasion, the Seniors wore cap and gown and marched in procession to the chapel. Father Frederick Klueg, CP., Rosary's chaplain, officiated at the High Mass, assisted by Father Richard Murphy, CP., and Father John Gillis, CP., of the House of Studies. Following the chapel exercises. Father Leo Ward, C.S.C., of Notre Dame University addressed the assembly in the gymnasium on the topic ST. THOMAS AND UNITY. As Father Ward is an outstanding Thomist, his talk was designed to give his audience a clearer understanding of St. Thomas' views. SPRING CONCERT The Rosary Glee Club offers training to ihose girls who wish to make music their career but it also affords artistic and intellectual culture to those students who are seeking a general education. The Glee Club meets twice a week under the baton of Mr. Gregory Konold who returned to Rosary in October, 1945, after service in the armed forces. During the academic year, the Glee Club participates in the programs for Rosary Sunday, Founder's Day, the Christmas party, the feasl of St. Thomas Aquinas, the May Crowning, College Day, the Rose and Candle ceremony and Commencement. How- ever, the most important event of the year is the Spring Concert, traditionally held in May. The program usually includes compositions of representatives of the most important schools of choral music. The program this year included compositions by Vittoria, Bach and Purcell which were representative of the early schools of choral music. From the modern school there were selections by Gorokoff, Tedesco, and Fine, Fine's THREE CHORUSES FROM ALICE IN WONDERLAND being the most modern. The chorus has elected Mary Schaefer, president; Gertrude Humphrey, vice- president; Rosemary McNamara, secretary; and Rosemary Patterson, treasurer. 59 Invitations were mailed to places near and far Inviting favored escorts to the Junior-Senior Formal Dance on May 17. This dance which was restricted to upper- classmen was the second formal dance to be held at Rosary since the coming of peace. The fact that it came so close to their graduation made the event even more gay for the Seniors. For them the dance came as one of the high points of the pre- graduation whirl. College Day, 1946, was something very special for Rosarians. It was a day that offered appealing entertainment for all kinds of appetites. On the morning of April 30, the feast day of St. Calherine of Siena, faculty members and students gathered in the chapel to hear a Solemn High Mass calebrated by our chaplain. Breakfast followed immediately and later four noted visitors addressed a general assembly on current topics and controversial issues. This year separate dis- cussions wiih the speakers in designated rooms followed the assembly. The morning portion of the day's activities departed a little from the almost exclusively out-of-doors schedule which usually distinguishes College Day. Prior to the sports activities of the afternoon, the Home Economics department gave its picnic. Then followed the horse show, the first event of the afternoon's pro- gram, which was held at the Sunset Riding Club. Tennis match came nexh on the schedule. A Faculty dinner for the Seniors concluded the day's activities. Scenes from College Day, 1945 Building restrictions have delayed breaking of ground for the new Rosary auditorium. Plans are connplete, however, and work will begin as soon as conditions pernnit. The building will be constructed of Bedford stone. The auditorium will scat 1,250 people. A recital hall, adjacent to the auditorium, will accommodate 200. The main entrance to the Music Hall section of the building will be from the north. The lawn at the west of Lewis Memorial will be extended farther west and the parking space will be moved beyond it. A gallery will extend along the north side of the building connecting the recital hall with the music studios occupying the north and west- section of the building. The first floor of the building will house, besides voice studios, a music and drama library with listening rooms for the playing of records. West and south of the stage will be a drama classroom, green room, dressing rooms, and a stage work-shop. On the second floor studios for music education and piano, and a radio work-shop will be located. The third floor will have studios for violin, music composilion, and practice rooms, with more practice rooms being located on the fourth floor. In the basement a costume work-shop, rehearsal rooms for music ensembles and drama, and dressing-rooms are to be built. The stage is designed for drama, music, and dancing. An elevator fore-stage may be used either as an orchestra pit or as an apron on the stage. It Is expected that it will be of great use to the community of River Forest as well as to Rosary students, since there Is at present no auditorium in the village which can accommodate a large audience. Architect's sketch of the proposed auditorium J Chicago Daily News Photo Traditionally, the first Sunday of May, Rosary girls lift their hearts and minds in special greeting to their patroness and Mother, Mary, Queen of the Rosary. Joyous songs, processions, incense, flowers reflecting the beauty of Mary, recita- tion of her Rosary — all are tributes which the earth-children pay to their benefactress in Heaven. May Queen Jacqueline Lord, prefect of the Sodality, and her attendants, Anne Cox, Margaret Anne Gould, Mary Virginia Doyle, Corinne Cohan, Mary Irene Kiley, and Mary Alice Bush, were accompanied by the Seniors in caps and gowns who placed roses before Our Lady's statue. The simple ceremony was concluded with a sermon and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The annual Candle and Rose ceremony of Rosary College Is held on the evening before graduation. When the rose blooms and the candle gleams the upperclassmen exchange mutual pledges of devotion to their Alma Mater. Just as dusk falls over Ihe east campus, the Juniors, attired in pastel formal dresses, begin to march in color- ful procession across the lawn from the south . . . each girl carrying a rose, the symbol of charity. The Seniors, in cap and gown, approach from the north bearing the torch, symbolic of their position as leaders in the school and bearers of truth. As the Senior and Junior lines slowly cross at the center of the lav n, Ihe torch and rose are exchanged. Then the Junior class, In song, accepts the responsibility signified by the torch. The Seniors, ansv ering In song, pledge undying love for their Alma Mater, Rosary. The ceremony ends, just as darkness begins, with the slow recessional of both classe s. c o M M E N C E M E N T ALMA MATER, ROSARY Four year we leave behind in keeping Of you our foster Mother sweet, And to this cherished gift we add A loving heart placed at your feet.

Under the leadership of the prefect, Jacqueline Lord, the Guild stimulates active participation in Catholic affairs by sponsoring programs to further the Christian way of life. Guild activities during the past year included the annual Christmas tea to collect funds for charity, the drive for European war relief, and monthly discussion meetings. In addition to these common projects, each cl ass sponsored its individual Guild project. The Seniors, with the Eucharistic Our Lady Academy, planned special religious devotions. The Juniors' interests were focused on Catholic literature, opera linq through the medium of the Literary Book Nook and the Guild Rental Library. The Sophomores banded together in the Apostolic Academy, collect- ing money for the missions. The Social Action co imittee, sponsored by the Freshmen, planned' Catholic Action entertainment.

TORCH Torch, the Rosary Activities Society, requires prospective members to meet the high qualifications which indicate Rosarian ideals: Religion, Leadership, Sporismanship, and Scholarship. The beautifully symbolic initiation ceremonies of Torch have become traditional. Candles, light- ing the dark recesses of Lewis Memorial Hall and symbolizing the ideals of Torch, are presented to cap-and-gowned candidates, who repeat the pledge to live in accordance with the worthiest standards of Catholic womanhood. The initiation ceremonies are followed by a buffet supper for all members, and a welcome speech by the Dean. Torch was organized In 1928, and students may become candidates on the basis of intellectual, recreational, and spiritual interests which are evaluated according to a point system. In the fall of 1945, twenfy-three students were Initiated into Torch. The Society's activities are arranged to foster the aims for which it stands. 76 A T H The Woman's Athletic Association, popularly known as Ath, is one of the oldest and liveliest organizations in the College. Its activities are colorful and designed not only to appeal to the avid athletes, but also to the sportswomen of the sideline variety. Hayrides in the fall and spring, sleigh rides in the winter, inter-collegiate and intra- mural basketball games, tennis tournaments, and riding exhibitions are sponsored by Ath. One of the Association's biggest events is the Spring Penny Carnival with its Mardi Gras type of concessions. The proceeds of this year's carnival were given to the auditorium fund. Aphrodite, a new athletic club, was founded this year for those interested in swimming. Aphrodite sponsored the elaborate Water Ballet which was performed on April 29. The officers of Aphrodite are: Georgeanne Dunne, President; Joan Donahue, Secretary; Colette Barr, Social Chairman. The final and most-looked-forward-to event on Ath's calendar is the May banquet at which the club initiates its new members and gives its awards for sportsmanship and leadership. ATH OFFICERS.

It was during her tenure that the Athletic Association sponsored its biggest projects, College Day activities and the Penny Carnival. 77 RED CROSS The enthusiasm with which Rosarians supported their Red Cross organization during war time has not disappeared with the advent of peace. This Is readily proved by a swift review of the extensive activities of the Red Cross during the past year, which have included sponsorship of dances at Vaughan General Hospital, ward entertainments at HInes Hospital, and knitting of squares for an afghan presented to Hines Hospital. During the holiday season, candy and boxes of Christmas decorations and wrappings were sent to hospitalized veterans. The college unit is organized under the Oak Park chapter of the American Red Cross. Here at Rosary, under the chairmanship of Phyllis Gildner, who is in charge of Production, separate committees have been set up, each of which supervises one particular Red Cross activity. These committees and their chairmen are: Arts and Skills, Mary Jeanne Sullivan; First Aid and Water Safety and Life Saving, Georgeanne Dunne; Accident Prevention, Rosemary Mulvihill; Nutrition, Ruth O'Reilly; Camp and Hospital, Mary Carmody; Junior Red Cross (at Trinity High School), Betty Campbell; War Fund, Marjorie Malay and Patricia Ryan; and Publicity, Jeanne Considine.
