HE YEAR 1951 IS A most significant one, for our commencement coincides with the Centenary of the Sisters of Mercy in Rhode Island. In the President of our college, Mother Mary Hilda, R.S.M., we recognize the spirituality, cul- ture, and charity representative of the countless sisters who have unselfishly toiled in Rhode Island for one-hundred years. Thus we, the first graduates of Salve Regina College, re- spectfully dedicate the Regina Maris to the Religious Sisters of Mercy who have realized the hope of a Catholic Woman ' s College to guide us along the way to light and truth.

ROBERT GOELET— FEBRUARY, 1948 jroreujord The soft light of a gloriously ending Holy Year she-ds a passing lustre on another important event, for the year 1951 is a time of great jubilee both for the faculty and for us graduates. The Sisters of Mercy are celebrating their one hundredth anniversary in Rhode Island, and we rejoice with them in the success of their endeavors. The pattern is now complete — a college by the ocean has added the final detail in the educa- tional design. We, the first graduates of Salve Regina College, wear the robes of honor and responsibility. We have been given much: now we must give to a materialistic world the sense of sound Catholic values that the Sisters of Mercy at our Salve Regina College have given to us. Our heritage is great: our responsibilities tremendous. We dedicate ourselves and our task to the ideals of the Queen of our college. Holding her banner high, our voices unite in joyful crescendo Salve Regina, our life, our sweetness, and our hope!

L karter ia55 in T, ' nniversaru s4vinal$ HE HISTORY of Salve Regina College could not be told without recording the pre- liminary events that preceded its establish- ment. Our history begins with the history of the Sisters of Mercy in Rhode Island. On March 12, 1851, exactly one hundred years ago, the seeds from which Salve Regina Col- lege would later develop were sown. On that day, Mother Francis Xavier Warde and her small company of nuns took up residence in Providence, Rhode Island, to begin their labor of love for Christ in New England. In 1854 the Sisters of Mercy came to Newport to continue and extend the work they had been doing in other communities. From the moment of their arrival in Rhode Island, to the present day, and on into the future, the Sisters of Mercy have tirelessly practised and will continue to practise the spiritual and cor- poral works of mercy. They have built schools, missions, and orphanages; they have been teachers, nurses, missionaries, and foster- mothers. Above all, however, the Sisters of Mercy have been spiritual guides and coun- sellors. With Mater Misericordiae ever as their model and inspiration they have min- istered to the bodies and minds and souls of men. For years, the sisters cherished the dream of founding a Catholic Woman ' s College in Rhode Island, and in 1934 the Sisters of Mercy were granted a charter to establish Eight Arch bishop Francis P. Ke- ough is preceded by Msgr. Peter E. Blessing in the processional. Arch bishop Keough blesses the college as- sisted by clergy - Sept. 2 4 . 1947. such a college. It was not until thirteen years later, however, that the sisters found a build- ing in which to begin their work. On March 24, 1947, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goelet of Newport donated their estate, Ochre Court, to the Sisters of Mercy. The dream of the sisters was realized. Salve Regina College, the first Catholic College for women in Rhode Island, was formally opened on Mercy Day, September 24, 1947. The Most Reverend Bishop Francis Keough presided at the cere- monies and the first class was officially wel- comed to their castle by the sea. Freshman Features First class! First day! ... It seems so long ago and yet, paradoxically, it was only yesterday in our college life. It would be impossible to recapture that day in mere words. In each of our memories there is impressed some highlight of Mercy Day, 1947. Our hearts were bursting with pride as we surveyed the splendor that was Salve Regina, and yet we were strangely humbled when we heard Bishop Keough declare that we were to be the pioneers of S- R. C. Among the many famous persons who came to greet Ni ne Bishop greets Mr. Robert Goelet. the charter class that first morning was Dr. Michael Walsh, Director of Education in Rhode Island. The words of the college presi- dent. Mother Mary Hilda, R.S.M., Sister Mary James, R.S.M., Dean and our chaplain. Reverend Doctor Dillon, warmly welcomed us to our new home. Like all good things, the opening day finally came to an end, and we settled down to the double task of scholastic endeavors and the establishment of collegiate traditions. The Class of ' 51 elected Lucy Roberts Prefect of the Sodality, and began its own private tra- dition in the form of Mary Quinn, class president. October brought the inception of the Liv- ing Rosary, a Sodality tradition and tribute to Our Lady, celebrated on the Feast of the Holy Rosary. On this day, October 7, the college was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Later in the month Eileen Schwenk, gowned in regal robes of blue and white and seated on her throne in the Great Hall, was crowned Queen of the Missions. The Regina Players offered in Eileen ' s honor, their primary production, appropriately en- titled Her First Assignment . On the following day, our first retreat was officially opened by Father Larkin, SS.CC. The Sacred Heart was enthroned in the col- lege and re-enthroned in our hearts in a beautiful ceremony which climaxed the re- treat. Then on December 4, Ochre Court preened herself (as did her youthful inhabitants) for her role as hostess at the first Salve Regina social affair of the Christmas season — a tea dance with Providence College. Bright lights, soft music, happy laughter transformed the Great Hall from a familiar place to a magic ballroom straight from the pages of Arabian Nights. Ochre Court was built to impress and how well she fulfilled her role that eve- ning! To turn from the social to the spiritual — Reverend Doctor Dillon received new sodal- ists into the Sodality of Maria Regina in the college chapel on December 1 2 to initiate a ceremony which never fails to touch us with its purity and simplicity. The next date circled on our calendar re- calls a literary landmark in our history. Patri- cia Byrne, our peripatetic editor, aided and abetted by a small but noble band, turned out Volume One, Number One of Ebb Tide on December 16. Christmas festivities at S. R. C. were high- lighted by a party for some of the under- privileged children of Newport. The stately balconies of Ochre Court resounded with the joyous and unrestrained laughter of the tiny tots and the bigger tots. The spirit of good cheer pervaded the college all that pre-Christmas week, and was climaxed by the pageant, the formal dinner by candlelight, and the caroling. The strains of Noel, Noel echoed and re-echoed as we departed and were homeward bound for the holidays. Studiaetis, a mid-year exam disease, was arrested by the bustle and excitement sur- rounding the first visit of our benefactress, Mrs. Robert Goelet. After a formal tea, each member of the class was introduced to this charming and gracious lady. As she departed, Mrs. Goelet remarked, It was just like com- ing home! Soon after her visit, public an- nouncement was made of the Goelet ' s second generous gift of the property that was later to be known as Mercy Hall. On February 6, in the chapel, Father Dil- lon awarded us our classical scholars ' robes. All peace and fair renown be thine to bless the cap and gown . . . and so we were initi- ated into the land of Academia. No sooner had the pleats begun to wrinkle in our collegiate gowns than a fever over a Ten Left to right: Frances McGuiness, Barbara O Rourke.

April 30 . . . the Court Cotillion ... so many things to re- member about our first prom — so many won- derful things. We whirled through the dance on an enchanting carousel and Franny Mc- Guiness captured the magic ring. A lovelier queen than Franny never graced the pages of a history, and no royal ball ever surpassed our cotillion in sheer beauty and happiness. In May, John H. Greene, President of the Sons of the Revolution in Newport, presented the state and federal flags to the college on behalf of Senator Theodore F. Greene: and, Mayor Pardee gave a large graphic map of London to the Dean. On May 9, we honored Our Lady, and on May 16, we honored our parents. On World Sodality Day, we paid humble tribute and gave heartfelt thanks to the Queen of our college. At the Parents ' Tea we had our first opportunity to introduce our families to the faculty and our friends. The Queen ' s Choristers and Verse Choir displayed their respective talents, and after tea in the formal dining room, Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament was celebrated in the chapel. Bishop extends hand of welcome to Jane Sullivan. Eleven A few short weeks later we adjourned for our summer vacation, but life at the college went on. Salve Regina was honored by a visit from the Apostolic Delegate, Most Rev- erend Amleto G. Cicognani in July. During the same month, Dr. Roy J. Deferarri, Secre- tary General of Catholic University, officially inspected the buildings and the campus, for the college had become affiliated with the University. Sophomore Highlights We returned as Sophomores in September, 1948, with the sadistic intention of making our little sisters ' lives miserable during Freshman Week. Mission accomplished, we discarded our Simon Legree roles and attempt- ed to make life a pleasant dream instead of a nightmare for the Frosh. To prove to them that we were really jolly good fellows at heart, we gave a tea, a party, and an amateur talent show; we serenaded them, and we even spoke kindly to them! Orientation Week was climaxed by Mercy Day. We celebrated two very special events on September 24 — the first anniversary of the college and the first visit of our new Bishop. His Excellency Most Reverend Bishop Mc- Vinney, DD. No movie star ever captured our hearts as Bishop McVinney did. No ad- jectives could describe the complete humanity and spirituality that is his. Although he called us his treasures, we knew that it was we who had found a treasure. Almost before we realized it, November 6 had arrived, and we donned our dancing shoes for Neptune ' s Folly, our first semi-formal. The first joint glee club concert with Provi- dence College was the outstanding musical note of December. In January, the Queen ' s Choristers took to the air waves over the local Newport radio station, and Ebb Tide joined the Rhode Is- land Intercollegiate Press Association. Saint Valentine ' s Day found us guests at a party and talent show given in our honor by the Freshmen. S. R. C. was elected to the Vice- Presidency of the New England chapter of N. F. C. C. S. in March, and the debating branch of I. R. C. won its first intercollegiate debate from Providence College. Moonlight Masque, the Sophomore formal, brought the semester to a gay, glamorous de- nouement. It was a dance to satisfy the most blase prom trotter — dancing on the ter- race under the stars to the smooth music of Stan Moore, a charming queen, and a grand march down the marble staircase. The final strains of Goodnight. Sweetheart broke the spell, but the memory has lingered on. Junior Jaunts The academic event of the Junior Year was the Honors Convocation at which tribute Reverend Doctor Dillon presides at first investiture. Patricia Dooley receives academic cap and gown. Twelve was paid to the highest ranking students who, by virtue of their distinction, were awarded fourrageres. Bishop McVinney, celebrating his twenty-fifth jubilee, was the honored guest at the convocation. Although we looked with longing eyes at the blue and white shoulder braids, the majority of us were preoccupied with mental images of the blue of our sapphire college rings. From September to January we anx- iously regarded our fingers instead of our waistlines. That ring finger simply could not lose or gain any weight! We were as nerv- ous at the Ring Ceremony as candidates for Ph.D ' s. Dressed in collegiate garb, we de- scended the Grand Staircase to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance . When Mother Mary Hilda, R.S.M. slipped the rings on each of our hands, we felt that we were truly aca- demians — at long last we had merited the symbol of higher education. Whenever we look at our rings of blue, that ceremony is recalled to us in all its beauty and impressive- ness. Our ring recalls more than sentimental reminiscences, however, it stands for a way of life — a Catholic way of life which is as much a part of us as breathing. The misty enchantment of the Ring Ceremony was car- ried over into the Sapphire Ball. We chose no queen at this dance, for it was everyone ' s shining hour. As we stepped through the huge symbolic ring in the Great Hall, we had the tingly sensation that you feel when the bells ring in the new year. There were no chimes or whistles, but an intangible some- thing told us that we had entered a new phase of life. February proved to be a very busy month, for it also brought us our first invitation to a formal Valentine Dance at the Naval Acad- emy Preparatory School. The world-famed Pilgrim Virgin Statue visited the college at the end of the month bringing with it its promise of spiritual and temporal favors to those who heed the Fatima message. The Regina Players staged their first pub- lic production, Letters to Lucerne, at Bay- view Academy on April 30. They trod the boards with the aplomb of youthful {Cather- ine Cornells, and proved that our praise of them was justifiable. Mercy Hall was the scene of the Junior Prom — our final dance of the year. Classes ended, the academic year was officially closed with the annual procession to the Sacred Heart Shrine. Senior Daze It was with mingled feelings that we re- turned for our last year at college. We were glad to be Seniors, and we were excited over the prospect of graduation, and yet . . . Mayor Edmund Pardee presents map of London to Sister Mary James, R.S.M. Mary A. Quinn. Prances Bridgeman. Thirteen Mission Queen, Eileen Schwenk, and court. The first few weeks were hectic. We in- evitably discovered that we were either short credits, or that, because we did not have the gift of bi-location, we were unable to attend two scheduled classes at nine. The year book staff was pulling out its hair wondering how three figures could possibly be stretched into four without robbing a bank. The Glee Club members had a collective case of laryngitis (three concerts in three months). The Dra- matics Club members were worn out just running back and forth from Glee Club and year book meetings. In the midst of all this confusion, the Seniors saw the sun breaking through the clouds. Mr. Cornelius Moore, prominent lawyer and benefactor of the col- lege, donated a new building to become a Senior hall. Innumerable hours spent amid paint and plaster finally produced the cozy, homelike Moore Hall that we had dreamed of. Needless to say, Mr. Moore was the first invited guest to our new home. Our grati- tude to him knows no bounds. Thank you is sincere but inadequate; it is only through our prayers that we can repay Mr. Moore. January to May was one continuous round of exams — mid-years, graduate records, quart- erlies, comprehensives and finals (blessed word!) And then it was June . . . Bacca- laureate Sunday celebrated in the chapel, class day exercises on the terrace, the Commence- ment Ball, and graduation — first and last events that disdain descriptive powers; they arc indelibly engraved on our hearts. Most Senior years are a mixture of glad- ness and sadness, and ours was no exception. It may have been a trifle gladder because our graduation was something extra-special — we claimed the honor of being the first graduates of Salve Regina College. Yet, by the same token, we were sadder than most alma mater- ites, for we were leaving a college that we felt belonged to us in a way that no deed of ownership could surpass. We were truly the pioneers of S. R. C. — the traditions, the clubs, the publications — we had initiated and fos- tered all of them. Our ideals, our laughter, our hopes, our tears had built the spirit of Salve Regina as surely as the bricks and mortar had constructed the building. Future Salve- ites will carry on the traditions we have be- gun. Future Salveites will enlarge and im- prove the work we have started. But none will have that encompassing love and pride in the college that is ours, for that is some- thing that only a first class can know and feel. Court Cotillion Queen.

French — Spanish That slight, intent member of the Senior class quickly hurrying down that c orridor is most likely Franny. This energetic figure is keen and vehement about everything she does, but never without considerable thought, planning, and a definite purpose. Serious interest and moods of thoughtful concentration change rapidly into moments of laughter and intense joy in people and life. Sharp, dark eyes, a warm sense of humor, plus innate drive can add up only to success. El Circulo Salamanca 4 ; Le Cercle Francois 3,4, Secretary 4 : N. F. C. C.

Unexcitable and essentially cool and quiet. Joan is relaxing to be with and an amiable conver- sationalist. Possessing an unwavering mind, Joan has set standards and principles which promise success in her deal- ings with people and incidents. A basically practical nature will enable her future dreams of a home as realistic, complete and happy as Joan is herself. Discussion Club 1 ; Home Economics Club 3. 4. Secretary 3, Treasurer 4; N. F.

Biology — Chemistry A first impression of Harriet would bring to mind the adjectives quiet, reserved, dignified, and serious, but the second impression discloses a great joy in the humorous, a sense of honest good-fellowship, and a quick perceptive- ness which springs from an active and independent mind. To Harriet, life is like one of her chemical formulas — one part work, one part play, and one part spirit. The result is true happiness. Discussion Club 1 ; N. F. C. C.

Her doll-like appearance belies her status as the poet laureate of S. R. C. and one of the highest ranking students. A dreamer when she is thinking of Roland, an imp when she plots, an efficiency expert with her assign- ments, a life model when she is sharped up, and a charmer at all times — all this and much more compose the intrigu- ing individual known as Rita B.

History — Education Perhaps one of the most unusual girls in the class, Fran- nie is also one of the most talented. She can don the mien of a Mona Lisa or play the role of Puck with equal dex- terity, whether on stage or in the smoker. Bridget excels in the art of histrionics and the field of history. Although her spirits may rise and fall with mercurial unpredictability, she never fails to be a sympathetic listener and counsellor. Choir 4: Ebb Tide Staff 1 ; I. R. C. 2 : N. F. C. C.

Business — Secretarial Science Bobby is as colorful as the purple banner she waves with sporty enthusiasm. Although she may never reach operatic heights, Bobby is well established as a self-styled Mistress of Ceremonies — versatile, volatile, vivacious. Sophisticated and cosmopolitan to a degree, Bobby is never at a loss for words sprinkled with wit, and offered with typical off-hand casualness. Whether Bobby is behind a typewriter, or a steering-wheel, it will always be an ad- venture, for there is no one quite like Bobby! Commerce Club 4 ; N. F. C. C.

English — History This tall, glamorous girl with the low-pitched voice is even more likeable when her interior qualities are known. Pat is the possessor of an entirely generous nature, and a deep sense of Christian charity toward everyone she knows. Once her faith and friendship are won, they can never be lost, any more than you yourself can lose affection for her gift of gab, profound thought, ideals and attentive ear. To know Pat is never to forget her. College Reporter for Newport News 1.2; Discussion Club 1 ; Ebb Tide Staff, Editor 1 , 2. 3 ; I. R. C. 1 . 2, 3 ; N. E. C. S. P. F. 1. 2, 3; N. F. C. C.

Foods — General Home Economics A beaming smile, the lilt of genuine laughter, and quick chatter characterize the light side of a truly happy person. Laughter mounts up in her blue eyes even more when the joke is on her. But, all of Mary ' s character is not jollick- ing and care-free, for her life contains certain values and purposes which she never sets aside, but works steadily toward. Compassionate, gentle, conscientious, humorous in an amusingly dry sense, and a truly good sport, Mary is everybody ' s friend. Discussion Club 1 ; Home Economics Club 3, 4, President 3; N. F. C. C.

Sociology — Biology A comparative newcomer to the college, Angela has amassed more credits than most of us would in a lifetime. A conscientious and industrious student, she cherishes two ideals — t o continue her education, and to be a humani- tarian. Unperturbed by the confusion around her, she holds fast to the belief that life is what you make it. She has a placid temperament, which, if it never soars to the heights, never sinks to the depths either. Commuters ' Club 4; I. R. C. 4; N. F. C. C. S. ; Queens Choristers 3 ; Sodality. Forty f Jacquiline Charlotte Clark, A.B. Sociology — Psychology Strength and determination are two of Jackie ' s out- standing characteristics. Unlike many strong-willed per- sons, she possesses an active sense of humor. Highly in- telligent and realistic, she approaches all problems logic- ally and objectively. She is poised and assured, and fares the future untroubled by any anxiety complexes. A per- son whom you can entrust with confidences, Jackie will always be a stalwart friend to those who know her well. Commuters ' Club 4 ; I. R. C. 4 ; N. F, C. C. S. : Sodality. Forty-one Ann Marie Cotter, A.B. English — Art The class artist, Ann is equally as comfortable behind a brush as she is behind a seven course dinner. Slow- moving Ann of the dry wit and the inquisitive interest in people and activities around her is an e sy-going figure who seldom becomes seriously disturbed, and is rarely prone to anger. Though she saunters through life un- disturbed and laughing, yet, true values do not escape her: but, instead, add to her genial good nature.

Forty-two Joan Rita Danis, A.B. English The unrivaled wittiest of the class, Joan can make a pessimist see the stars. She has a flair for the unconven- tional — a passionate desire to live in a black-walled shack by the sea. A distinct individualist, her opinions on every- thing from Freud to modern art are certain to be unusual. Sentimentalism and realism strive for dominance — she can weep over Pomp and Circumstance and chortle over the barbs of Byron. A gay dynamist, Joan radiates intelli- gence and ingenuity.

Biology — Chemistry Vivian ' s character is the direct product of a scientific mind. An active person, even when away from her test tubes, she is determined and ordered. Not given to word- iness and verbosity, she is precise and specific, always searching for the truth and finer things of life. How- ever, never does she forget to mix in proper proportions the less weighty with the serious; thus geniality and pleas- antness, in an adequate quantity, are added to produce the formula for a rich life.

English — Education Small and quick, Pat has a winsome manner and an ever present Irish smile which is constantly turned to something sugge:ling activity and advent ure. Conscien- tiousness in her work and responsibilities add the more serious touch to her nature. Things not done annoy her. and those done are completed carefully. Pat is vivacious and enthusiastic, being completely interested in other peo- ple and places where things are going on. Her happy blue eyes are turned toward the future.

Business — Secretarial Science An individual of marked likes and dislikes, Margie is endowed with a profundity of personality and emotions. Her frank, guileless manner and unswerving devotion to the principles she cherishes add to her candid appeal. Al- though resolute in her opinions, she fosters tolerant, con- stant friendships. Despite her slight streak of stubborn- ness, Margie ' s independent and zealous spirit prevails; and, to those who gain her loyalty, she will always be the inimitable Margie. Class Officer.

General Home Economics — Foods All those who know Norma think of her as the re- served girl with the auburn hair and a complexion that shouts for Kelly green. Sincere and unpretentious, Norma looks only to success in her chosen field, and complements this seriousness with a lively and appreciative sense of humor. A fondness for music and painting, and a tem- perament which dislikes over-emotionalism make Norma a well-balanced individual, and a very certain bid for achievement.

She is an earnest worker, a serious, conscientious student, but nevertheless, fun-loving and agreeable. Her precision, loyalty, and, above all, her selflessness lend to Camille the qualities which will serve others well in the field of social work. In her desire to aid humanity, Camille holds fast to the principle that it is better to give than to receive. Discussion Club. Secretary 1 : Ebb Tide Staff 1 : Le Cercle Francais 3, 4.

English — Sociology Possessing mental alertness, a lively fancy, and an apt- ness for clever expression, Jean ' s reservoir of droll humor is never arid. An exponent of intellectual loafing, her keen, analytical mind literally tastes, chews, and digests books. These literary hors d ' ocuvres, combined with am- bition, versatility, and a sense of responsibility, afford Jean the recipe for successful living. Armed with the patience of Job and the loyalty of Pythias, Jean is one who readily responds to the word friend. Class Officer, Vice-President 4; Commuters ' Club 4; Ebb Tide Staff. Reporter 1.

An instinctive business sense coupled with her intelligent efficiency have made her par- ticularly happy in her chosen field. A dislike for orna- mentation and procrastination are as typical of her as her love for neatness and punctuality. Barbara ' s determina- tion and forthrightness should lead her to an executive position within a short space of time. Commerce Club, Recording Secretary 4: Ebb Tide, Typist 4 ; I. R. C. 4 ; N. F. C.

History — Education Alice ' s dancing ability is nimble and quick, but when her dancing shoes are put away, she becomes the epitome of casual behavior. Come what may, Alice refuses to indulge in over emotionalism, though at times her mis- chievous nature unfolds itself in exciting episodes. Behind the nonchalant air of this happy-go-lucky individual, one may discern a shrewd, reflective, and highly intelligent spectator of life, who never misses any of its plays, or fails to make interesting mental notes.

English — Speech Although Ellic is youthfully fresh, animated and quixo- tic, her dramatic portrayals are undeniably vivid and mov- ing. Ellie is a delightful brown-eyed paradox — an impish sophisticate, an introverted extrovert, deliberate yet vital. She wears her clothes with the good taste and discrimina- tion which characterize her every gesture.

She has a lovable, bright, and equable temper which manifests itself in voice and action. Within Fran there lies a spontaneous, steady flow of good spirits guaranteed to inflate the most dejected spirit.

Education — Sociology Florence is the stolid collegian whose jesting, original humor always strikes its mark despite its subtlety. Re- sourceful and replete with potentialities of leadership, Flo will find ample outlet for sociability and understanding of human nature in her future classrooms. Her Irish hered- ity is unmistakable, but her integrity and open nature deny the fact that she might have kissed the blarney stone. As a teacher, Flo will never lack the essentials necessary for educating our future citizens, for she has worked hard at establishing them. N. F. C. C.

The situation that could ruffle Mac has not yet been devised. Famous for her cynicism, she has a repertoire of pessimistic poetry that only Matthew Arnold could excel.

Nothing bothers Bev for any length of time; her naturally sunny disposition usually prevails. Her amiability and her love of laughter are her most characteristic traits.

A patient and even- tempered person, she is always willing to extend a help- ing hand, and from this branch stems the added traits of dependability and dutiful determination. Franny ' s lighter side is filled with a love of music and dancing, and a capa- city to chatter at an amazing rate. Franny seeks the per- fection and beauty in life which hold primacy in her scale of values. Discussion Club 1 ; Home Economic Club 2, 3, 4. Treasurer 3, President 4 ; I. R. C. 2, 3 ; N. F. C.

She can make a major catas- trophe out of a mole hill and then recover in time to hand aspirins to her unnerved friends. She delights in surprises and jokes of all forms and styles.

Spiritual meetings in the chapel and temporal meetings at Mercy Hall are held monthly. New sodalists are received into the Sodality on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Feast of the Holy Rosary is a special Sodality feast day. On October 7. the sodalists, attired in the blue and white of Our Lady, form a Living Rosary, and visit the shrines on the college campus.

This day is set aside as a period of retreat, and is concluded with a procession and the crowning of the statue of Our Lady. Dances, parties, and various sales are held at regular inter- vals under the sponsorship of the Sodality for the benefit of the Missions and other charitable causes.

Once established as the hub of all social, mediatory, and dis- ciplinary action, the Council began the task of editing the Official Handbook of Rules, and establishing a constitution that would serve to uphold the ideals of Salve Regina College. The regulations of student life were submitted and approved by the united forces of Faculty and Students. With the passing of each year, the Council was reinforced by additional representatives of each class and club. As a larger body, it gained more authority in legislative and judicial matters. Under the direction of the Student Body President and Council members, the group con- venes weekly to discuss proposed policies by means of parliamentary procedure and electoral action. Sister Mary Martina, R.S.M., Ph.D. is Student Council moderator and attends all meetings. Student Government also serves to correlate campus activities; govern stu- dent affairs; appropriate money; and to afford members the opportunity to gain a practical knowledge of the workings of an honor system by the students and for the students.

Now, two years after their initial voyage began, their ship leaves port weekly to visit all the historical and contemporary points of interest in France. Under the banner, Vive sa Majeste, la langue francais , they cordially invite all sea-women of letters aboard to take a turn at the wheel of conversation.

Ninety-three rnt h I f etation5 K iub ernauona ' Free and fair discussion will ever be found the firmest friend to truth. — George Campbell HS OLD AS OUR YOUTHFUL col- lege, the International Relations Club has not only fostered a consciousness of contemporary world affairs, but, it has also established associa- tions with other collegiate groups and organi- zations. Under the direction of Dr. Harry Nugent of the Rhode Island State Department of Educa- tion, the members have learned to wield their dynamic vocal weapons in their favorite intellec- tual sport — debating. The good will policy is a byword in this club where the arguments often grow to United Nations proportions. Club moderator, Sister Mary Martina, R. S. M., PhD., accompanies members to de- bates, panel discussions, trilateral and quadri- lateral conferences in the New England area. At least once a year the girls act as hostesses to other college club members. These meetings with other clubs provide for a stimulating exchange of ideas on international problems, while the social hour at the end of each business session lends another plus factor to the cultural and educational advantages. Tuesday afternoon finds the club members arguing the pros and cons of a non-communist alliance, but whether the chairman calls the affirmatives have it , or the negatives, it is an unchallengable statement that the debate ' s the thing in the International Relations Club.

J fome (Economics A perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to comfort and command. — William Wordsworth Jrganized in may, 1949, under the protection of the good Saint Anne, the Home Economics Club purposes to provide its mem- bers with the opportunity to gain knowledge and practice in self-initiated group work per- taining to the problems of Home Economics as they develop in the college and the community. Membership is open to all Home Economics students, and officers are elected annually. They are assisted in their duties by chairmen and sub- committees who are appointed each month by the president. During the short period of its existence, a well-organized program, consisting of business meetings and social gatherings, which include Fashion Shows, luncheons, food sales, and teas, has been brought to a successful fruition under the direction of the moderator, Sister Mary Martha, R.S.M., B.S. in H.E., Ed. M. Through its lecture program, the club has made an effort to introduce outstanding speak- ers who are experienced in the various professions open to Home Economists, thus providing a stimulus to those interested in this pre-marital profession. Affiliation with both the State and National American Home Economics Associations pro- vides interesting contacts with other college clubs of a similar nature. Below, left to right: Rose Jalette.

President: Frances McGuiness, Secretary; Martha O ' Rourke, Treasurer; Catherine Mahoney, Librarian. : Ninety -six Such siveet compulsion doth in music lie. ' ' — Milton When THE BLUE AND GOLD leaves of the Musical Log unfold, its pages echo Harmonic History, music and lyrics by the Queen ' s Choristers. A glance at the introductory page stirs the memory of their first public concert at Hope High School, where the newly formed club tasted the sweetness of lyrical success. Amidst the Xmas festivities at the Newport Civic Music Association, the Choristers voices were heard in the clear strains of Silent Night. Freshman firsts were highlighted by the Glee Club ' s initial appear- ance via the airways Catholic Charities Broadcast. The summer of 1948 brought the musical season to a close , but not to an end, for in December. 1 948, the choral group made a royal debut in a joint con- cert with Providence College against the familiar background of the Great Hall. A return to the scene was effected in February, where the Glee Club scored another musical conquest armed with sharps and flats brought to the fore by an invitation from the Salve Regina Guild. The second semester featured a series of rhythmic recordings waxed by station WRJM for weekly broadcasts. The pages whirl in rapid succession as we gaze at the star studded scale that marks the finale to a third year of song in an outstanding union with Boston College at newer Saint Mary ' s Academy. With a song in their hearts, the Choristers opened the 1950-1951 season in a joint concert with Providence College, followed by a collegiate alliance with Manhattan College. A spring concert with Boston College weaves itself into the pattern of a never to be for- gotten score, sprinkled generously with informal programs for every holiday mood. The covers slowly close on Harmonic History leaving further measures to be sung in the Glee Clubs ' hall of musical fame. Sincere appreciation of all members to Sister Mary Rosina, R.S.M., M.Mus., Glee Club Moderator, and Miss Theresa Walsh. President, for their tireless efforts and enthusiasm in creating the Glee Club and leading the Queen ' s Choristers to ever widening musical horizons. Ninety-seven Scene from Sanctuary. Cast of Letters The stage is the mirror of human life. — William Winter 0 fUR CHARMED MAGIC MIRROR REFLECTS, not the vague, cloudy images of the Lady of Shallot, but a clear, vivid picture of our sock and buskin days. The mirror is unveiled! Gaze into it and see the reflections of . . . Her First Assignment — our initial production. We had neither props, nor costumes, nor stage. The play was a simple, modern comedy — but, it was a beginning; and we were troopers. For the Yuletide season, we presented The Spirit of Christmas and the Nativity tableaux (remember the two Ellies — angels sans wings!) In January we bade farewell to our dramatics coach, Mrs. Thomas Dona- hue, and welcomed our new instructor and moderator to stage center, Carol P. Dunton, A.B. The Lenten production, A Crown of Thorns , rang down the curtain on our first dramatic year. During our second year, we undertook ' The Purple Doorknob — our initial attempt at comedy. And then, our opening night at the Art Associa- tion where Franny Bridgeman brought down the houss in her moving por- trayal of Kitty Clive in Ashes of Roses . The French Revolution was the setting for the one-act drama, Sanctuary , presented at Mercy Hall, while The Symbol of the Cross , the passion play, was enacted over the air-waves via the Newport radio station. Christmas on the Village Square , a play within a play, was the Decem- ber presentation of the Junior year. But, what dazzling representation flashes on our mirror now ? It is Letters to Lucerne — our first public dramatization. Remember how very well Grace played her role? Even we could have hissed this villain-heroine. We celebrated our fourth anniversary by following in the illustrious foot- steps of the Lunts in A Child Is Born . But, the climax of our college dra- matic year was the tragic-comedy Senior play. The actors and audience laughed and cried. Our farewell to the stage was our biggest sentimental success. The mirror clouds over; our dramatic past has faded away into the vale of memory. Our next drama will be enacted on the stage of life. Jhe Ninety-eight to Lucerne. We greet our Bishop with Ad Altare Dei. eama j auers i Left to right: Eleanor Testa.

Ninety-nine J.RJ.CU To business that a ' e love, we rise betimes and go to it ivith delight. — Shakespeare o. IRGANIZED IN THE FALL OF 1950. under the guidance of Sister Mary Euphrasia, R.S.M., B.S.S., the Future Business Lead- ers Club was founded to provide opportunity for personal development, for service to the college and community, and for active participation in programs for improving human relations. The chief external function of the club each year will be a trip to New York in the spring. The visit will include a tour of three or four institutions of practical interest to the Business Majors. In the course of four years, each student should have a well-rounded background in the study of business organi- zations, their functions, and their operations. Other activities of the club in- clude movies of a commercial and educational nature, field trips to court ses- sions and business offices, and addresses by prominent business leaders in the field of labor, management, and business education. In November of 1950, Chatter, a monthly publication of the club, was introduced to the college. The object of the paper is to make practical appli- cation of the Office Procedures course and is an outlet for news of general interest to the college. The club functions in accordance with the principles advocated for college students by the United Business Education Association, the National Office Management Association, and the Catholic Business Education Association.

NOW YOU DON ' T! Equipped with pedometers and bus tickets, the cemmuters form a band of educated nomads, whose chief objective is making that bus. Neither rain, sleet, nor snow imperils these outdoor scholars, who live by the rule of perpetual motion. Born in the spring o f 1950, the Commuters Club is still in the infancy of its potentialities, although it has succeeded in making the day hops an integral part of the whole. Before folding their books and stealing silently into the day, the commuters are briefed on functions and rules so that their activi- ties do not interfere with the social or marital aspects of the college life. Although their numbers are few, the day students combine the energy, speed, and spirit that enables them to maintain their position in the collegiate race.

Sister Mary Mercedes, R.S.M., A.M., is the art instructor. Equipped with easels, drawing tables, and painting supplies, the studio has attracted art students, who step across its threshold into a magic land colored with landscapes, portraits, and still life scenes. Technical skills are developed by a variety of crafts which includes the popular paper sculpture, now in vogue. History of Art courses are offered to acquaint students with the beginning of and the progress art has made, so that in each practice teaching project, they may project new teachings into A Child ' s World. From early morning till The curfew tolls the knell of part- ing day, the S. R. C. Studio hums with ceaseless activity.

O ' Reilly IN DECEMBER. 1947, Ebb Tide was launched onto the sea of reporting. Manned by a small, but chronicle-worthy crew, under the able command of Patricia Byrne, Editor, the vessel embarked on the well-chartered course of writing. Moderators have been Sister Mary Evan- gelista, R.S.M., Ph.D., Sister Mary Jean, R.S.M., A.M., and Sister Mary Donald, R.S.M., A.B. Their boot voyages were undertaken with strictly literary navigation. In September, 1949, Ebb Tide sailed proudly into the printer ' s port of call with headlines majestically even. Inspection proved that all leads contained the necessary five w ' s and that all word counts weighed in at the required num- ber. News stories, features and editorials conformed to the critic ' s rules for form and content. Pages were laid out in precision-like pyramids as the cubs labored to produce a prize cargo. The nautical report for the year indicates a well-done to all ace hands. Above: Ebb Tide goes to press.
