OUR EDITORS Editor-in-Claief JEANNE HEATHCOTE Art Editor CORINNE O'BRIEN Bmz'nen Editor MARY MILLER THEIR ASSISTANTS Literary MARGUERITE F ITZGERALD PATRICIA GIBNEY Bmineu MARY CASHMAN MARY QUINLAN Art EVA GELINEAU CATHERINE NANNERY Cartooning Lettering ULV 7940 amma A full half century has passed since the painters, musicians, and poets of the Impressionist school dared to express their own thought and feeling through the medium of art. Their masterpieces have survived the scorn of their contemporaries and the indifference of their successors, to claim in the twentieth century their just due of appreciation and understanding from a circumspect world. Taking note then, of the present popularity of Renoir, Monet, and Degas, 0f Debussy, Faure, and diIndy, and 0f the poet Paul Verlaine, now joy- fully accepted as our own, we, the graduating class of 1940, have chosen their theme for ours. We present in this, our yearbook, 14mm, the gateway to our impressions of four beautiful, fleeting years. We feel that in no better way could we capture and imprison their happi- ness and heartache, their sweetnesses and sorrows. This is not a mere record of our activitieseit is the private journal of each member of our class. Herein are contained our personal reactions to events, to people, and to places, and the sentiments and emotions they have evoked and Will evoke for us, to whom they are so dear. SHIA gJAMwA ETR ECTION W ff: NJ QA QJQCZiCGzQCZ $0 . . . OUR DEVOTED TEACHERS . . . THE RELIGIOUS OF THE HOLY UNION OF THE SACRED HEARTS For all the things you are we thank God with all the fervour of our souls. To us you are a shining figure of hope, because in a mael- strom of bitter hatred and flagrant disbelief you live in selfless charity and firm, undying faith. You are an ideal to us, because, despite a vain and sceptical world, you have succeeded in finding and following the perfect ideal, Christ. Simplicity . . . Humility . . . Dignity . . . Justice . . Tolerance . . . all of the fairest virtues blend to form your common de- nominator. Yet, just as in complete submission you are truly free, in your voluntary self-annihilation you are all the more distinct and definite personalities. In four short years we have come to see in each one of you some endearing, individual trait. These are the things we shall remember, even as we have loved you for them. Old world gracious- ness and lofty idealism . . . heroism and humour . . . the clearsighted serenity of the contemplative . . . cool logic coupled with a wide-eyed look . . . dynamic action and joie de Vivre . . . unhurried movement and quick understanding . . . master talents for friendship and subtle dist cipline . . . terse, dry wit and inspired narration . . . llesprit Gaulois, vital and sparkling . . . comradely laughter and a sunny atmosphere . . . compassion and keen perception . . . But now, sensing our total inadequacy to put each of you into words, we draw back. We dare not venture further. It would mean firnprisoning you in truisms and platitudes, and that, we could not bear. 80, following in your footsetps, we turn to Mary to plead our case with God. For only He can bless you as we would wish you to be blessed. We who have known the inspiration of your example, the benediction of your kindness, and the largesse of your intellect, can find 'no earthly thing worthy to express our gratitude to you. Only through this eternal bond of prayer may we hope to thank you even in half :measure for all you have given us by being all the things you are. ...CU?W gm MOTHER GABRIEL CLARE, S.U.S.C.

St. Agnes' Team t Z CL S 8 pO 8 171 x, RECESSIONAL ODE The sad, surging song of procession time, Like a knell in this vale of tears, Has intoned our closing pantomime, The requiem of four, Fine years. Our young hearts sadden to leave, itis true, For we have loved you with much intent. All of your precepts our hearts imbue; All of your virtues on us are spent. Noblerre obligef Be with it; yet, Lert we forget I Lert we forget I There are mystery worlds beyond these days, And abstract soul dreams, lustre crowned. There are virginal truths hid in earth's mad maze, And beauteous realms of thought unfound. The whole wide world is pregnant with story Concealed in the gossamer veil of manis pride. We need but acknowledge earth's God-given glory T0 joyfully perceive the myst'ries inside. Alma Mater ! Impire 11; yet, Lert we forget .T Lexi we forget ! True maxims of our faith and school Into our hearts you've deftly spun. Your precepts form our life long rule, And mould our deeds 'till the goal is won. Our lips no greater praise can sing, Our hearts love-full would overflow, 'Our very lives must ever ring With loyal remembrance, whereer we go. Sacred Heart! I Be with m yet, Lert we forget .' Lert we forget ! The sad, surging song of procession time, Like a knell in this vale of tears, Has intoned our closing pantomime, 'The requiem of four, fine years. ,Adieu, from fifty hearts resounds. wTill death we'll play our parts; Our courage firm can know no bounds . . . Rendez-vous in the Sacred Hearts ! Noblerre oblige ! Be with 21; yet, Sacred Heartr ! Lest we forget ! CORINNE REGINA O,BRIEN T40 Each year thOusands of sweet girl graduates C3 . . . g; gather to listen With amusement and interest ' O to the class prophecv, the will, and, much t as 8 C 8 S Cly more perfunctotily, to the essay. There is so little of interest that a high school girl can say. In this streamlined world, yards of wordage are taboo, and pretty writing must be stripped from the Vital message. Discourses on uThis Changing World may hold us spellbound, but all the time we know that this cannot be a static world, no matter how much we would like it to be, as our wistful eyes turn back to our convent despite Our eager feet. We are torn by the woes of the vanquished; we are saddened by the devastation abroad. We hear subtle insinuations and less subtle threats against the Catholic Church. We know that in the South and West of our own United States the hooded terror of secret organizations still rides. Often we pick up reviews for the so-called intelligentsia and we are appalled. Floods 0f Communistic propaganda make the blood run cold. We shudder and think, uIt is a bitter chalice we have filled for Christ. Only through Catholic Action can we gain perspective and harmony, beauty and balance. We can be free from the mad confusion that gave birth to the cubistic distortions of Picasso and his school. We can, and must, bring to our lives the militant Catholicism we have been taught. Catholic Action becomes more than a word for us When we leave our Academyeit is at once a code and a battle cry. For now we must stand on our own two feet, and fight to the finish for our glorious heritage of faith, and the li'fe-giving liberty of America. A Jesuit has said, uGive me a child during his formative years, and I will give you back a true Christian. Valuable beyond words will be those h0urs we have spent with our teachers, unfailing f0unts of wisdom and selflessnessedoubly meaningful the words of our Bishop, our chaplain, and our mission fathers. I believe that the very answer to the turmoil of the times lies in the calm directness of our nuns and priests, who have lived and are living according to the Beatitudes. It is true we cannot all be called to the highest life, yet we can borrow or acquire a bit of their precious secret of living . . . peace of conscience and freedom of soul. It is sad that so few in the world recognize the source of this peace and freedom. The laissez-faire philosophy of our contemporaries has for the moment blurred our Vision, making us confused and hesitant. But, once we brush away this stifling fog of worldliness and materialism, we shall see the answer clearly. We shall know then that peace of conscience is the victory crown of a glorious battledthat freedom of soul can be ous only through a servitude of love. And once we have glimpsed for an instant the infinite perfection and beauty that is Christ, nothing will hold us back from our ideal. The combined blows of contempt and scorn, ridicule and persecution will glance off our shining armour of faith, leaving us unscathed. There can be no failure, no defeat in a cause so sublime and eternal. We are with God, and He is with us . . . Who, then, can stand against us?

What a spot! Our landing place after that last disastrous voyage of the Famous Fifty of Forty. But weill end the suspense right now and tell you all about the trip. ...The first few days were smooth sailing, but, alas! on one unfortunate afternoon, as everyone was relaxing and drinking coke, our ship struck a reef. Water rushed in from all sides; the boat heaved and sank! Did the famous fifty get panicky? They did not. Their only thoughts were of dear old 8. H. A., left with nothing to remember them by. At a command from Captain Peggy Fitz, each shipmate wrote her own legacy on any scrap at hand, stuffed it into her Coca-Cola bottle, and dropped it into the frothing sea. We, Sue and Anna, found a life tube, and floated to shore together, followed by fifty little Coca-Cola bottles. Learning that we were the only survivors, we knew it was our sad duty to collect the legacies and make known to S. H. A. the final wishes of the crew. This was indeed a hard task for, among the melee were fragments of paper, torn ankle socks, collars, cuffs, and what have you. We put them all together, finally, to form, herewith, our one and only will and testa- ment. . . . The individual items read as follows: Give our thanks to S. H. A. a million times. We are more grateful than we can say for the fine education she gave us, and we have deeply appreciated the privilege of being uconvent-bred . . . . Tell all our dear friends, the faculty, that we praise and thank them for having put up with our antics for four whole years, that we love and respect them for guiding and leading us to what is right . . . Somewhere at S. H. A. the Juniors can pick up our privileges, dignity, and ability to lead. If they receive the same cooperation they gave us, theylll need nothing more. . . . To our darling little sisters, the Sophomores, we send our love. We think theylre a grand class. . . . T0 the babies of S. H. A., the Freshmen, all we can do is to encourage them along the bright career theylve started to carve for themselves. With their school spirit they,ll go far! . . . Some time ago the new Captain of S. H. A., asked Peggy Fitz for her savoir-faire, as well as her lovable disposition and grand personality. They are now yoursefrom Peggy, with loads of love. . . . Although Corinne OlBrien and Mary Miller did not know their successors, they leave their teams to two capable Juniors, with the knowledge and the hope that they will be well taken care of. . . . Patricia Gibney wants Jean Brocklehurst to remember those little debating tricks she has taught her. We say that if she does, shelll rank tops, as did her mentor. . . . If Alice Boyd is around, looking for something, she may have Mary Frances Conroyis love of musir and her way with a song, for Mary F. wants her to have it. llTranslating Virgil as a pastime were the words of Grace Almeida in her legacy written to Betty Neilan. . . . Tell the Junior Quints that they can now have a change of clothes because the Senior five, Marjorie Sandham, Anna Sullivan, Marilyn Babbitt, Ruth Spencer and Mary Cashman left their clothes in the lockers. . . . Jeanne tSimonne Legreey Heathcote asked us to pass along her worries, headaches and heart- aches, and best of all, the fun of editing ?the Slmmdy to one patient, calm and serene Anne Marie Higgins, the new editor, whom she knows llcan take it without the swish of a long whip, and a curl of the lip . . . Joan Smith and Patricia Walsh may look into the pamphlet on good grooming and personality written by Florence Sherry and Phyllis Ashworth and can teach the other Juniors, if they want to. . . . Enclosed with this letter is a harmonica. Give it to Phyllis Walsh. We found it in Mary Quin- lanls coke bottle. Now she can giggle up the scale when her own harmonica wears out. . . . Carolyn Harrison passes on to Marie Dunn, her ability in the drama . . . Gertrude Gorman and Barbara Waite entrust two Juniors with the care of the library . . . and it is a care. The lucky people! . . . Dorothy Gleeson and Margaret Murphy wrote that the Portsmouth Juniors may use the taxi service without interference. A little of that oomph in gown modelling is also handed 0n. . . . From what we gather from the legacies of Anna Silvia and Cecy Whalen, plenty of Juniors asked for their generosity and good nature. These qualities they willingly give. . . . Dolores Sullivan, the gal with the ready wit, sends her ample store to Mary Woodward to use when her own supply is depleted. . . . Since Mary Sullivan is the only red-head in the Junior class, more of her classmates will want titian tresses, so Helene Foley and Shirley Parr have each cut off a few of their lustrous lacks, to send to S. H. A. . . . Don't break your necks running to class from now on. The back row in the history class has lost Eleanor Ryley, Mildred Cotter, Mary Regan and Loretta McMurrer; hows your chance and don't RUSH. . . . We've got to have business heads on llShacady , so Claire Cox, Annette Perron and Eileen Ready pass their ability and nimble fingers to Floss Butler arid Polly Ferry. . . . And while you are telling everyone all these things, you might Whisper in the ear of Madeline Foley that Eleanor Dunne and Alyce Carvalho Will let her take care of their Somerset friends. . . . l'Do see that Mary Murphy keeps in the groove , are the parting words of our lively Senior Isabel Sylvia. . . . Jeanne Ralph and Mary Regan may take from Anita Lake and Evelyn Ferreira, not only their love of chemistry, but the fear of being blown right out of the lab. . . . Also in this billet doux, the exponent of that famous make ya wanna dance, music, Lillian Flynn, en- closes the key to her secret. . . . One day not long ago, Catherine Leary begged Doris Healey for a little of her quiet charm so that she could tone herself down a bit. Catty may have it all, now. . . . Myra Smith, Eva Gelineau and Lucille Coutu hope that the boarders will now find the brooms and dustcloths and exciting week-ends at the new house on Prospect Street. They never did. . . . If anyone tand who doesn'ty wants Margaret Camara's prize receipe for delicious chocolate cakes, she sends a round-trip ticket to Tiverton, where it lies in Peggyls files. . . . Katherine Nannery wants Margaret Bailey to have her title as Equestrienne of S. H. A., in the coming year. . . . And Agnes Bailey hands over her key to the candy store, her pride and joy, to Virginia Weeks, with a little record that keeps repeating No Charging, No Charging, No: Charging . . . . Make sure that Anne Sullivanls love gets safely to Fairhaveneand no hi-jacking. . . . Well, Doris Leach and Constance Keane have at last finished with driving lessons . . . their story is that theylve left a few fences still standing. Hope- the next class of drivers have as much fun learning. We think thatls all we have to say, Skipper, and we hope that the wishes of those who have gone before will be fulfllled. All that we two can add, is . . . Loveln kisses, from SUE MORRIS ANNA MURRAY rophecy Setting . . . Very dilterent Time . . . 2040 AD. Place . . . The archieves of the new 200 story annex of S. H. A.

EVA GELINEAU 40 AND MYRA SMITH '40 - Ojjiaem we were. . . PERSONAL HISTORY A BIOGRAPHY OF THE CLASS OF 1940 BY CAROLYN HARRISON Excerpts 1938 '- 1939 Yes, welve learned a thing or two-we're smart now. We are Juniors!!! We know how it feels to be an Upperclassman! We grow unkempt and distrait with all our new responsibilities, but we wouldn't give them up for the world. What if the Seniors still do little more than endure us? We'll show 'em next year! The year begins with the hush of grief and mourning upon it. Rev. Mother Anna Theresa's death is a shock and an irreparable loss to the community, and to all of us who loved her. Never can we forget her encouraging and inspiring presence. . . . And no less a sorrow is Madame Andrea's untimely passing. The music pupils who knew intimately her kindly, unstinting interest miss her keenly. . . . Soon we talc: heart and plunge into school activities. Our first move is the diocesan Mission Rally, where Father Considine's tales of far off mission fields inspire a nerce enthusiasm. We resolve then and there to ransom many of our African colored chilluns for Christ. . . . We don't know whether our enthusiasm was to blame, but suddenly, we were hit byea hurricane, no less. It means a holiday for many of us, but brings headaches and heartaches to some of our Portsmouth and Tiverton pals. . . . At the Debrabant elections, two Juniors survive the ballots and carry our fame abroad. Welre proud of our Pat and Corinne, and confident of their success. . . . The Pageant of Our Lady absorbs our interest in these busy Christmas days. The beautiful scenes of Our Ladyls life appeals to our dramatic sympathies and we do a very creditable job. . . . And another Red Victory. Is this going to become a habit? the Green Team wonders. But they smile graciously, like game losers and fighters. . . . After the clamorous din of gym meet and banquet, we turn eagerly t0 harmonious vocalizing. We join forces with the Seniors in our first Glee Club concert, and carry through the llnew idea with flowing blue mantles in honor of Our Lady. . . . The romantic and dramatic spirit of the Valentine mnoth is responsible for Lena Rivers . The fun-loving Juniors find ample excuse for tomfoolery in its hilarious dialogue, and score another hit. . . . And right on its heels follows the enchanting fairy tale Snow White with the title role played most charmingly by one of our own classmates. . . . The drama seems to be- come a preoccupation with us, for now we're off to see Macbeth . En masse the Juniors travel to see the familiar classic live before them. . . . March and April make us turn to Shakespeare again for his well-worn phrase. . . . Parting is such sweet sorrow , . . . for we lose three of our dearest friends . . . Madame Mary Laurentia assumes her new post as Superior of out Baltimore convent. This time the South wins. . . . Father Gerrard, our revered chaplain, is called away from us by new duties, we are loathe to part with him. Father Considine, his successor, we welcome happily, for he is no stranger to us, but an old friend. . . A blow hard to accept is the necessity for our beloved principal, Madam Adrienne Marie, to rest from her long years of arduous and selfless service. We are consoled only by the thought that next year she will return to us to continue her invaluable work in voice training and elocution. . . . Perhaps the easiest loss to face is that of the Senior Editors of Shacady , whom the Juniors usher out formally at an exclusive Fourth Estate party. We sound callous, but we really look up to them, for advice and encouragement. . . . The Glee Club descends on Belmont and carries away an excellent rating from the Music Festival. We Juniors are there to see that it does! . . . June . . . Kimonas, pagodas, lanterns, parasols, cherry blossoms . . . Shades of the Orient! Right in our own garden we hold a Japanese party, in the best Mikado tradition. But these round-eyed Juniors don't fool us. Weid know them anywhere. i'Suzuki Whalen indeed!! we sniHC reprovingly behind our fans. . . . Time grows short. At the Debrabants, farewell dinner, the Juniors politely but firmly put the retiring Seniors on the shelf. But those notables just smirk and say, You'll see; youill see . . . We considered seriously, and vote that Peggy, Corinne, and Mary lead us through the perils of Seniordom. We feel we choose wisely as we look to the future. . . . Class Day again. We set a precedent by making a daisy chain, the better to show our aHection for the Seniors, and to speed the parting guest. . . t Graduation. We are sad yet anxious to see the sagacious Seniors g0. . . . Next year it,ll be our turn. . . .

Perhaps the poetry contest inspired them, but at any rate, the intellectual urge keeps up far into the winter and spring . , . First a plunge into oratory tdebating to yout and then a siege of feverish interest in modern men of letters . . . A spirited correspondence brings in rich returns of letters and autographed photographs of prominent living European Catholic authors. Our interest piqued, we flock to hear F. J. Sheed at the Catholic Womenis Club, and our Shacady representatives interview him. And then, thrill of thrills, two of us meet and speak with a real live Irish poet, Maurice Leahy, at the Portsmouth Priory. We're right in the mood to make S. H. A.'s Book Week a Big ii- m : , :3 f - EffERVESCENT 0 Week at S. H. A. The English room fairly reeks with printer's ink as scores of gay book jackets cry out from every bulletin board and trophies of our correspondence abroad grace :the walls. The Sophs don't stop here. They go right to town on a new idea. A mock radio program for improvement in speech work, and they make quite a successful campaign for additions to our library. A breathing spell after our intense literary interests makes us 'turn to religion. Some of us as ofT-stage sound effects or hidden spear bearers help in our small way to make The Upper Room a thing of beauty for the Lenten season. The weather man takes us literally this June and our graceful Sophs perform a nBlue Danube scarf dance with the wind and the rain in their hair. But even too too realistic stage effects carft dampen their enthusiasm and they make the Garden Party a gala aEair. Another balmy June, and with it another graduation. . . .

Ain,t we the ones though? We've been Freshmen for a whole month now. Slowly but surely we are getting into the swing of things.

With these few ,words are consecrated all our thoughts, words and actions-to Mary, our beloved Pattoness and devoted Mother. The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary is an organization dedicated to the purpose of giving to our Queen all the honor, respect, and love she necessarily commands. Because we know that in many places the Catholic Church is ridiculed, her beautiful ceremonies mocked, and the memory of her saints deliled, we strive daily to make reparation for these insults and prove our unfailing loyalty to the Church. By a constant and determined effort we add new lustre to the precious jewels in our possession, treasures granted to us by our Creator at birth- the virtues of purity and faith and all their beautiful companions. No earthly king could grant such valuable gifts to his favorite child. We are all God's favorite child- ren. Let us show our appreciation to Him by a more perfect devotion to His dearest Mother, the Queen of Our school and the Liege Lady of our hearts. On December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, at a beautiful chapel ceremony, the reception of new Sodalists is held. This is truly a perfect and fitting ending to the year as an Aspirant. Each year, too, at Christmas the beautiful Nativity scene is devotionally portrayed as a prelude to our Christmas holidays. Mary Frances Conroy ,40 was our choice for the Madonna, Senior year. Again in May, Our Lady is crowned at the Grotto. Benediction and the recitation of the Rosary in the garden make this one of the most cherished memories of every 8. H. A. girl. As a terminating ceremony of our High School days, as Sodalists, we were privileged to have an after- noon of recollection during which we renewed our Act of Consecration to Mary and received our Sodality diplomas. In numerous other wayswe do our bit to honor Mary. Won't you also try to govern your life and guide your actions by our motto? We Sodal- ists guarantee that your life will be happier and more complete if you will just remem- ber-JAd Jesum Per Mariam'eTo Jesus Through Mary. The Catholic Students Mission Crusade is another of S. H. Afs most active organizations. The members rid themselves of excess energy by working for the missions near and far. With cake sales, stamp and medical supply drives, we do our part that the kingdom of Christ may be spread on earth. Detailed investigations of the conditions existing in the mission fields at home and abroad provide educational opportunities to those interested in forming 'Round Table, Study Groups. At Christmas-time we have the joy of bringing at least some portion of happiness to those less fortunate than we. The C. S. M. C. is an invaluable aid to us in ridding ourselves of the parasite, selfishness, and developing in ourselves kindness and generosity and thoughtfulness for others. Each class division of the Unit succeeded this year in ransoming an African Mission Baby from the clutches of Paganism. Our final activity as students was to help further 1the missions among the south- ern colored people by purchasing several feet of land for a new mission church. SODALITY AND C. S. M. C.

For these fine words convey clearly and briefly the story behind this systemeStars for merits and Stripes for demerits. They tell you of the eternal struggle that goes on here at S. H. A. Why, oh why, do the blues seem more numerous than the reds? It must surely be the fates. In studies, sports, and school-spirit, the members of St. Agnes, and St. Margaretis teams compete for top honors. Twice annually the silver shield is awarded to the superior team. In January, at the mid-term, a Victory banquet is held and in June the shield is again presented on the same basis of competition. St. Margaretts is the prOud possessor of the new silver shield, having won it in Jan. and June. This friendly rivalry does much to enliven school activities and develops a fine spirit of cooperation and loyalty in all the girls.

At home or on our many jaunts to foreign and, for the moment, hostile fronts, interested rooters followed the team or, what is twice blessed, provided transportation. We give all a grand school vote of sincerest thanks. We wish also to express our deep appreciation and gratitude to Mrs. Beatrice Hancock Mullaney, our coach, and to our faculty advisor, 'for their tireless devotion and invaluable guidance. We Seniors have no misgivings as to the fate of the Debrabants in the coming year. The undergrads proved their ability to struggle on without us during the inter-class debates in November.

Closer examination re- vels the circle of four bruneutes, close-knit for solace, to be Senior Associate Editors of Slmmdy Neuu, S. H. A.'s bi-monthly child of pain. Stark with concentration, they drift aimlessly apart, some even slipping through the door. At this point, a bedraggled blonde, bleak of mien and wild of eye, stops hunting and poking at a battered Under- wood, rises menacingly, and stalks through the human debris littering the floor of Room VII. A gentle Soph leaves ptecipitately to bring back, dead or alive, the unhappy recusant, While barks of uPlay up the FEATURE! and uGet this dope STRAIGHT! Vie for supremacy with ugly murmurs of Simonne Legree , slave driverll, etc. etc. A hardy Associate, reclining on the floor for more fluent thought, emits a throaty chuckle at the madness of it all. The tension is broken, the mob violence checked. The cowering huddles show signs of life. The editor smiles wanly as their crumpled offer- ings are thrust at her and they dash back to civilization, stumbling over Coca-Cola bottles as they go. The brunettes smile palely, too, for in their tired little hearts they know that far into the evening they will be blue-pencilling the tattered copy. But three days hence, when proofs and dummy are but memories, they will be nodding sweetly as the complaints come rolling in. Shamdy will be oilC the press. They will laugh and live againeuntil the next time. And so, at 6:00 P.M. they place with a final loving flourish, the fruits of the day's labor on their long-sulfering faculty advisor's desk. They have the drama, but she alone bears the heavy brunt of responsibility and worry. Serving as mediator and consolatrix as well as final editor and publisher, hers is the real Gargantuan task. As the last haggard editor straggles out of the'building, peace returns with dusk to the halls of S. H. A. The new stallc may find some calmer, cooler way of putting Slaacaaiy safely to bed, but they will never have half the fun we had in Our own mad way. As for Iamm-that speaks for itselfewe challenge you to better it. lee QM? MISS GERMAINE BARRE, B. M. Singing Marymount College, N. Y. Sorbonne, Paris, France B. M. New England Conservatory 5f Music S. H. A.'s Glee Club has grown by leaps and bounds within the past year, and under the inspired direction of Miss Germaine Barre tthe girlst voices have acquired an improved tone quality. The flrst dance ler held by the students of the Academy took place on Mamch 2 at the Fall River Womank Club, following the annual Glee Club concert. The spotlight has been focused notably 0n the Special Choir, 21 selected group of Glee Club members. The choral season opened with the 8th of December Benediction and continued with the traditional Christmas carolling carried abroad for the flrst time to the Catholic Memorial Home, St. Martin's Convalescent Home, and also the City Hall broadcast. The opening Benediction of the retreat was sung by the choristers, who were also accorded the privilege of singing the Proper of the Mass for the Feast of the Annunciation on April 1. On April 24 the Choir and Glee Club were guest artists at St. Patrick's Parish Guild, and on June 2 'the Choir assisted by a group of 100 selected voices from Senior, Junior and Sophomere Classes sung the closing High Mass of the season at St. Mary's Cathedral. The eagerly anticipated New England Music Festival at Wellesley, which climaxed S. H. A35 music year, left both groups raring to go places and do bigger and better things in 1941. They received super'or rating. More power to them, we say with big- sisterly pridewand the very best of luck! President ..............................................

H. A. As far as we know, it always . has been, but the past four years have .been more than memorable ones. The Hair for the dramatic has been fostered and developed here under the direction of Our unsurpassed dramatic coach, so that our repertoire is a well varied one. In four short years our versatile players have enacted in turn a historical religious drama, uThe Emperoris Slave , :1 Shakespearean comedy, uThe Merchant of Venice , a Passion play, tiThe Upper Room , a Pageant of Our Lady, an Operetta, Snow White , a modern comedy piece, 'iLena Rivers ; a scene from The School for Scandal , and a Mark Twain humourous skit. With these they charmed large audiences again and again, spreading S. H. A.'s thespian fame far and wide. Impromptu entertainments are frequent events at S. H. A. This year alone the Seniors presented a pseudo-Kay Kyser program, a Christmas playlet by Father Lord, and an original Vocation Week assembly. The furor accompanying these spur of the moment affairs makes them all the more fun. A grand spirit of cooperation makes them run smoothly despite their usually hasty preparation. And last, but surely not least, are the choral verse recitals Which from time to time grace S. H. Afs dramatic schedule. Here again, our cherished dramatic coach is responsible for our prowess. Art-conscious, voiceaconsciOus, drama-consciousethatk S. H. A. for you.

Boston Teachers College Former Instructor in Chemistry, Emanuel College Has it been luck, fate, or Chance that has made 1940 such a very eventful year for S. H. A. and for the Seniors especially? This time we mean the snappy new Lab, peppy new chemistry course, and charming new teacher that startled the class of ,40 into bright if not dazzling scientific action this year. Fellow classmen have learned to sniff inquiringly when wondering which scientific pursuit is in progress behind the closed doors of Room IX. When a faint odor of unfresh eggs hangs about the place, they back away, whispering, Chemistryl , while the low-lying aroma of formaldehyde brings forth gasps of uBiologyl . When it comes to general science however, more finesse in sleuthing is indicated. A sly peep through the keyhole might well reveal teacher and Class Viewing with breathless enthusiasm the effect of some mysterious experiment, or gravely discussing some awe-inspiring theory. With our spirited chemistry teacher as its guiding light, a photography club is in the making at S. H. A. We the seniors, like to claim it as our own, even though we have sadly lacked the time we would have liked, to push it along. It would seem that the class of ,41 is going to have the time of its life trying to out-do us in christening, originating, or inspiring innovations at S. H. A. How about a planetarium Juniors? . . Far be it from us to class art appreciation Vi pPVQC'LailOVL as a mere extra-curricular activity, for much time, research, and study go into this full credit course. But we thinkw in our own impressionistic way, that all the merry bustle and activity entailed in its intriguing projects carry it beyond the limits df the classroom and make it a defmite extra-curricular interest. At almost any time of the day you can find some student in the well stocked art library, intent or bemused as the beauties of art are unfolded before her. In her search for information, the timely gifts and loans of art treasures by our revered patron of the arts are invaluable assets. The artistic aspect of the community, a detailed study of architecture, a survey of painting, and a collection of favourite masters keep the S. H. A. art lover on her toes. It is customary, too, for the Art Appreciation classes to entertain at an assembly each year. Accordingly, 1939's Christa mas program was a panoramic history of the Madonna in art. As if all this were not quite absorbing enough, field trips to the Boston museums and neighboring art centers are included in the curriculum. For those who are talented as well as interested, the S. H. A. art course offers an appealing array of practical art sgbjects. Color, design, lettering, iigure-sketching, charcoal, water color, pastel, linoleum block printing, crafts, fashion illustration, poster work, and oil painting make up 1the yearls workrelndeed, nearly all of the striking posters which grace S. H.yA.'s:bulletin boards, as well as the brand new Sodality banners, issued from the busy studio, where, late into the afternoon, art students are at work Brows creased, brushes poised, lost amid the tempera they labor, turning out S. H. Afs most potent advertising materialel'Art for our sake may well be the byword at S. H. A. ' running smoothly, with never a hitch in the process. Year after plng year, 5. H. A. looks more and more to its lively group of willing typists for their valuable assistance. llShacady News and llIanua depend more than they sometimes like to admit on the corps of typists who do so nobly by us. They work under pressure, while the printerls devil awaits without the protecting door, and nary a complaint do they emit. Often, no sooner has the last scrap of copy winged its weary way to the presses, than a special program, or a special exam form, or a special mimeorgraph is needed. An emergency squad is rushed up to the front before you can say Jack Robinson, and the stumbling blocks to our happiness are removed, promptly and sweetly, for us. All too often, perhaps, we forget that our cherished typists are indeed occupied with other and more important things than our school publications and paltry business worries. For instance, many of them are delving into the intricacies of shorthand and the arithmetical nightmares of book-keeping and commercial math. We marvel at their patience and admire their efliciency but we could never thank them adequately for their heart warming cooperation. The ready helping hand is characteristic of them, and gracious service is their shining watchword. We salute those, who, even with all the clerical cares of S. H. A., have, under their very capable teacher, acquired high typing honors. Those who have been admitted ,to the Order of Artistic Typists, a high distinction, are: g , Behold the lassies who keep S. H.

Ballroom and tap dancing were added attractions to the gymnasium curriculum. The exciting competition between St. Agnes and St. Margaretls teams held in February, contributed more than its share of interest to the mid-year whirl of gym activity. Much to St. Agnes, sorrow, it ended in a victory for St. Margaret's. Good sportsmanship reigned at the Red banquet which followed. At this time, the geniuses 0f the gym classes received their awards.

May we venture to say that these will prove to be some of the most brilliant precedents ever written into the shining annals of S. H. A. In case you've forgotten, here are the traditions which the Famous Fifty of Forty, all by their little lonesomes, have established at S. H. A. I We began way back in the March of 1939, with our very, VERY exclusive Fourth Estate panty, thrown for the sole purpose of showing our Shacady editors how much we loved them, and how glad we were to take over. Youlve picked this one up and carried it through beautifully, we're pleased to note. 11 You've guessed it! The first daisy chain ever to grace the halls and Seniors of S. H. A. was woven with loving care by the Famous Fifty even as they paused, gasping, on the threshold of Seniority. Weill be heart-broken if this one doesn't survive. 111 And herels still another one weld love you to make yOur owneFreshman Get- Acquainted Week. We think you,ll agree that we were the gainers last September when we decked the Freshies out with name-cards and hair-ribbons, the better to know and spot them by. IV December-and this time we pulled a surprise Christmas assembly out of the Seniors, already buzzing bonnet. Welll never forget the grand Juniors who helped to put it over. Herels hoping you get as grand cooperation when it's your turn! V Oh, yes! Dont forget our next bang-up project-our Vocation Week program ewith the Seniors acting as career-counselors, no less! Don't miss the stimulus of this idea, please . . . VI This one goes without saying. Who'd want to pass up the great good fun of an annual Glee Club dance, all stamped with the approval of our own S. H. A.? VII And, if out feminine intuition isn't fooling us all of a sudden, were positive that youlll do all in your power to keep up the fashion show, that darling of the girlish heart, for future classes. VIII We beat you to this one, too i . . WE, twell, not ALL of us, of coursey wrote an Alma Mater song for Posterity. Well, anyway, yOu can improve on us, even if you cant Outdo us. ahat, sweets, is a challengeD IX Then, too, as big sisters, we feel we ought to tell you candidly that the class of 40 is the first class, as Alumnae, to suscribe lOOVO to llShacady , and that before leaving S. H. A., and, What's more, we've more than covered llIanuals expenses. These are things you're going to HAVE to live up to, darlings, and we know youlll do it. X Our wind-up tradition is a glorious one tooeA Senior, tall to ourselvesy, Recollection day with Father Sullivan c.s.c4 guiding us through some helpful last minute reflections. Don't let this one die, ever. XI Of course, we don,t like to gloat tmuchy, but we've done something you cant possibly do . . . We've christened the new third floor classrooms, the lab, and the new boarders' residence. We feel sorry for you, but that's Life for you, isnt it? Just think of all the fun you're going to have next year, when you write up a page of traditions, innovations, and what-not that will make us look like amateurs at the game. Here's to you and to the future glory of S. H. A. From onw on it's in YOUR capable hands . . . Au ivoir and bon courage!
