With faint dry sound Like steps of passing ghosts The leaves, frost-crisped Break from the trees And fall. Spring The austerity of winter dwindles now, Green Leaf buds bulge and yellow catkins bloom There can be no one unaware of how The earth puts by the liturgy of gloom, For the heart-waking utterance of spring. Winter On turf and curb and bower-roof The snow-storm spreads its wary woof; It paves with pearl the garden walk, And lovingly round tattered stalk And shivering stem its magic weaves, A mantle fair as lily-leaves. Seniors The Lord is thy guardian; He is beside thee at thy right hand, The sun shall not harm thee by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord will guard thee from all evil. He will guard thy life. The Lord will guard thy coming and thy going Both now and forever. IT IS WITH genuine appreciation and sincere gratitude that we dedicate the nineteen hundred fifty-five Regina Maris to our chaplain, our teacher, and our friend, Reverend Gerald F. Dillon. In this, the twenty-fifth year of his ordination as a priest of God, we are happy to have shared in his ministry as educator and priest. It is in these two functions prin- cipally that we have come to know his zeal for us academically and spiritually Within these two aspects much has been accomplished in our regard, much in the way of interest in the college as a whole, much in the quiet endeavor, in the passing word, in the gesture of loyalty of which we are totally unaware. In his contact with us here at Salve Regina College, he has opened many doors for us — the door to wisdom in the philosophies, the door to God in theology, the door to grace in the sacraments and in the Mass. There have been many vistas laid open to us, many illumined pathways, many steps pointed out with discretion and prudence, much given that will direct our choices in the highways beyond our ken. It has been Father ' s privilege to announce to us the good tidings of the unfathom- able riches of Christ that we may be strengthened with His power to have Christ dwelling through faith in our hearts. This has been the beginning and the end for all the efforts that have been made, the words that have been spoken, and the doors that have been opened. Thus, in this year of 1955 when the key to the doorway of life will be given to us on our commencement day, we should know wherein lies the way to peace and to tran- quility. Our best expression of appreciation and esteem lies, therefore, not within the sound and rhythm of words but in the manner in which we shall follow other paths to further wisdom and to deeper grace. Therefore, in the background of all our thinking and of all our acting there will stand, clear-cut and unshadowed, the image of one who in our college years integrated for us the breadth and the length and the height and the depth of the way to the kingdom of heaven. ' ' Reverend Qerald £ ' Dillon Under the guidance of Our Bishop 1HROUGHOUT THIS year, as well as the years since its founding, our college has been fortunate to have the kindly and wise episcopal guidance of our Most Reverend Bishop, His Excellency Russell J. McVin- ney, D.D. Under his watchful care, we, the class of 1955, have progressed along the path of learning in subjects both spiritual and secular. Although Bishop McVinney could not be with us at the commencement of our senior year at Honors Convocation because he was in Rome, we felt- that he was with us in spirit. At another commencement — the commencement of our lives as Catholic col- lege graduates — he will be there to encour- age us as we face our new horizons and to award us the degrees for which we have strived. Therefore, it is with fond and grateful hearts that we shall always remember our bishop in connection with our college days. Th LHROUGHOUT our years at Salve Regina, there has been a guiding hand that has never failed to direct our paths on the right road to future happiness. The administration has made possible lor us the truth and knowledge which will be our means to this future happiness. Only after we have crossed the threshold into eternity will we be able to fully appreciate what they have so graciously done for us. Mw ' MistratioH - ■ leaves yellow, pale, and hectic fall red harbingers of meetings with our ii DeaH of Students 1 N THE GENERAL run of things we are inclined to accept with very little thought the solicitude, sacrifice, and interest which our dean of students, Sister Mary Con ' stance, has in us as individuals and as a group. When we find ourselves at the parting of the ways, we suddenly realize that our status as students here is almost history. Then it is that the innumerable little things which make for happiness become meaningful. Thus we are grateful and our apprecia ' tion, we hope, will find its most lasting and sincere expression in our loyalty to all that Sister has exemplified for us. EjDUCATION, theology, and the social sciences form the subject matter of this page. Sister M. Emeria, R.S.M., M.A., and Sister M. Evangelista, R.S.M., Ph.D., consult the education section of the library for supplementary material. Rev. John Shea, A.B., is engrossed in his text in anticipation of theol- ogy classes. Sister M. Martina, R.S.M., Ph.D., and Sister M. Christopher, R.S.M., B.A., repre- sent a point in time where history and sociology meet. The problems are varied in each, yet there are in- terrelationships. and the friends Sister Mary Venard, R.S.M., Ed.M., and Sister Mary Othilda, R.S.M., M.A., discuss a per- tinent problem in the business department. Jot it down and straighten it out is the process. A few minutes of deliberation will settle the question. who were our faculty Sister Mary Kathleen, R.S.M., Ed.M., and Sister Mary Martha, R.S.M., Ed.M., pose for us in the attractive dinette of the Home Economics department. What to eat and what to wear are two very important items in social living. Sister Mary Donald, R.S.M., M.A., Sister Mary John Francis, R.S.M., B.A., Sister Marie Pierre, R.S.M., Ph.D., and Sister Mary Jean, R.S.M., M.A., bring into focus the cultural aspects of Spanish, French and English literature. 14 Here is a casual meeting of the science depart- ment — Sister Mary Constance, R.S.M., M.A., Sister Mary Philemon, R.S.M., B.A., and Sister Mary Rose Agnes, R.S.M., M.A., meet. Music and art meet in the persons of Sister Mary Rosina, R.S.M., M. Music, and Sister Mary Mercedes, R.S.M., M.A. In painting and in song we find pleasure. Conferring on the schedule to be followed by nurses at St. Joseph Hospital are Sister Mary Donalda, R.S.M., B.S. in N.Ed., Sister Mary Augustine, R.S.M., M.S. in N.Ed., and Mrs. Louis Graziano, R.N. ..■sF i ! H Each September brings Honors Convocation together with capping of the student nurses. Such a ceremony is an incentive toward scholarship at the very beginning of the school term. This occasion usually coincides with the feast of Our Lady of Mercy. Thus we inaugurate the fall session under her protection. Convocation Day % is hop Wade visits us After speaking on the missions to the student body, the Most Reverend Thomas Wade, Bishop of the Solomon Islands, shares his experiences with Kathleen Sullivan, Sheila McEnness, Mary Ann Fitzgerald, Mary Cantore, Deborah South, and Diane Silveria. Bishop Wade ' s ap- pearance was the highlight of mission drive. 16 mdu ' Civing Kosary Paying homage to Our Lady in October, the entire stu- dent body forms two living rosaries on the ocean terrace. Marian Vcar Mass on terrace Catholic school students from all over the island at- tend Marian Year Mass cele- brated by Reverend John Shea on college terrace. 17 Exemplifying the spirit of the United Nations, Home Economics Club members display dolls from foreign countries in their exhibit held in October in the home ec lab.

It ' s a sale! Carol Corcoran does her share for the mis- sions by presiding over the religious articles table at the bazaar. Peggy Mullaney seems to be pleased with her purchase. Some Zreasured MIMomories Mary MonJi, Mary Nagle and Madeline Saccoccio en- liven a dull November day with a dance in Mercy Hall. The pause that refreshes — Shao-Ling Hwa and Mary Davis take time out at an autumn O.C. dance to chat with their partners. Could be they ' re discussing naviga- tion? These four seniors and their partners seem to have danced themselves into the middle of a football game at the Intercollegiate Social. The final score of that event was quite impressive! 19 High School Day H, LlGH SCHOOL Day offers a chance for all New England high school students to become acquainted with Salve Regina. They hear short talks on what Salve Regina can offer them scholastically in their desired field of learning, as well as socially. Fol ' lowing these talks by members of the alumnae, the students are afforded a first-hand picture of how the girls of the college live through a tour of Moore Hall, Mercy Hall, and Ochre Court, where they ask questions and obtain opinions of girls living in the respective houses. Sophomores Maureen Lynch, Pat McDonald, and Pat Wood launch a detailed de- scription of life at Salve Regina and a tour of the campus with three high school visitors. Assembled at Mercy Hall are approximately 120 visit- ing sisters and students from nine local high schools. Our guests were greeted by senior officers and by several Salve Regina graduates. Greeting speakers on the High School Day panel, Mary Mondi, senior class president, discusses the pro- gram with Marion Estes, Peggy West, Sallyann Mc- Leod, and Peg Considine at the Mercy Hall gate. 20 N ?. e. e. £ IhE NEW ENGLAND Region of the National Federation of Catholic College Students opened the year at the Fall Council Meeting held at Salve Regina on October 8, 9, and 10, 1954. Attended by over one hundred delegates and observers from twenty-three New England colleges, the Council was one of the most successful in recent years. During the remainder of the year, delegates and observers attended the Winter Council at Hookset, New Hampshire, the Regional Congress at Wor- cester, and several workshops of the Industrial Rela- tions, Inter-racial Justice, Family Life and Liturgy Commissions. Sister Mary Martina, R.S.M., campus moderator, checks the year ' s Inter-racial Justice program with Mary Mondi, Skip Kelly of Holy Cross, and Joan Kane at the Fall Council meeting. Regional president, T. Paul Tremont of Fairfield Uni- versity arranges the Federation schedule for the year with Joan Langhorn, junior delegate; Anne Manning, senior delegate; and Helen Rigney, public relations chairman. freshmen Ever go on a Sentimental Journey escorted by Indians, flappers, and, ballerinas? On Fresh- man Night the Class of ' 58 took the upperclass- men on just such a voyage. Moreover, accom- paniment was provided by a bottle band! :i£ ' Jfh !_i Enjoying the brisk ocean air are Jo Rao, Clara Barros, Mary Lou Servant, Gert Amaral, Shir- ley Perry, and Jean Coughlin. Jean Maguire, Eileen Flaherty, Marie Robinson, Maureen Con- nelly, and Winnie Papa want some sunshine, too. In a homey mood these freshmen gather in front of the fireplace. In such a talented group the only question would be, Who ' ll start the singing? Freshman Class officers pose in their newly- won caps and gowns. Diane Silveria, Nancy Dupont, Loretta Verde, Carol Cannon, and Kathleen Sullivan are ready for their official duties. 22 A FRESHMAN IS eagerness, anticipation, enthusiasm in one sometimes untidy bundle . . . she has come and seen — but lost all hope of conquering . . . her days as a big wheel seem gone beyond recall. . . . Seeks solace from loneliness in the bedlam of the D. L. or the quietness of the Cliff Walk ... is an attitude un- tainted by cynicism ... a perspective unblurred by false illusion ... a heart responsive to the call of affection and the bonds of friendship. . . . A freshman tries to conceal her pride as a collegian . . . wonders why her former crowd just doesn ' t understand her anymore . . . Sees the world as one tremendous challenge . . . her junior sister as God ' s gift to her freshman year . . . and her class- mates as simply the Greatest . . . What can be distracting Barbie O ' Gara ' s attention from her neighbors ' animated discussion? Marilyn Soucy, Sandy Delehanty, Dale Howell, and Helgi Danjczek seem to be engaged in quite an interesting conversation. Oblivious to the other parts of the group, Kathy Lisi listens intently to a fascinating story told by Yvonne Abdo. Hi there! from freshmen: Connie Scorpio, Maureen Murphy, Debby South, Pat Murphy, Cathy Almeida, Florence Rose, Dolores Krapp, Pat Smith, Mary Jane Traficante, Anne Horan, Mary Ann Flannery, Barbara McAlear, Doro- thy Mahler, Eileen Farrelly, Kay McCaffrey. S A • i Norma Aubertine, Mary Elizabeth Casey, Joan Kane, and Peggy Mullaney are caught sunning themse lves on the upper balcony. A fine place to go for a breath of air and a glimpse of the ocean. The Cliff Walk is interesting and it looks as if Maria Sepe has been lured from her books for a brisk walk along the rocky shore on an autumn afternoon. A quaint little miss of long ago — not quite. Hsre is Madeline Saccoccio ready for a promenade. Is her escort waiting and does she take one last look before stepping out into the afternoon sunshine? Here ' s the team in gym array, Ready for strategic play. The tall and short, the fat and thin, Each will help S.R.C. to win. Informal dance and an informal pace shows five happy seniors in a gay mood. With Mary Casey, Maria Sepe, Eleanor Reyes, Madeline Saccoccio, and Lyn Woods, who wouldn ' t have fun? Life begins at eighty — that is if you believe in signs. Mary Casey is trying to pose incognito but there are ways of telling who ' s who at the Halloween frolic. Maria is not dressed for the occasion but that makes little difference to Peggy Kelly, Sandy Howell, Joan Kilduff, Eleanor Reyes, or Lyn Woods. From basketball practice to a friendly social in Mercy Hall is all in a week ' s work. This jolly group typifies the pleasure found in sport and dancing. Trudy Barry is busy with her books in a quiet corner in Mercy Hall dorm. She doesn ' t seem to mind the inter- ruption in the least. All work and no play — that can never be. 25 vr- c xv ■■■■ k4 J J y - - ■ t - itifiifn ,m Ik IL iili ' - A world of glistening white heightens our spirits with holiday ieer 27 A school boy ' s tale It ' s baking time at John Clarke Junior High School. Joanne Carney super- vises the work of her eighth-graders as they mix the ingredients for a cake. Should be good! Basic lessons in sewing capture the attention of eighth-grade students at Mumford Junior High School. Mary Nagle, their instructor, demonstrates the operation of the sewing machine for them. Try to cut it evenly, Gertrude Barry admonishes her kindergarteners at Cranston-Calvert School. Morning and afternoon sessions of games, drawing, and stories keep Miss Barry going all the time. As Arlene Sulli van encourages one young man to point to the ducks, Ev- elyn Burns works with a reading group at Tonomy School. With all that attention, the youngsters are sure to succeed. 28 the wonder of an hour Play with a purpose — under the supervision of their critic teacher, Miss Margaret Coutts, student teachers — Mary Elizabeth Casey and Estcllc Daglis — guide their second grade pupils in studying traffic safety. By the use of these real-to-life toys, the children at Sheffield School gain graphic ideas about everyday events. Tracing the streets of Newport on a map is no easy task; one little boy is all at sea. Anna Fingliss, student teacher at Tonomy School, will soon set him aright. Betty Brown seems to be an exponent of the Do-It- Yourself movement. Here she lets first-grade students at Sheffield School tack up their own artistic efforts on the bulletin board. Guess what day it is! Young members of Tonomy School are kept up to date by Alicia Donohue. Could be a reading lesson is the object of the whole project. 29 Commuters Anna Lozito, Jean Maguire, Catherine McCaffrey, Carol Flynn meet in a freshman session a few minutes before class. It looks as if no one is very eager for the bell. Anna Damiano ' s beach wagon does duty from Providence to Newport. Passengers also clamor for rides here and there along the route. Barbara Faris is a steady customer. Here are some envious day hops who perhaps have dreams of buying a beach wagon someday. Maureen Connolly, Eileen Flaherty, Patricia Murphy, Dale Howell, Deb- orah South, Michele Cali, Nancy MacDonald are picture conscio us even on a dismal day. Rain is no hindrance to such a process. G OMMUTERS now make up over one-third of the entire student body. Vivian Massouda, the day hop who now lives nearest the College at Greystone on Ochre Point, has come the farthest distance to attend Salve Regina. Born in Egypt, she formerly attended the American College for Girls in Cairo. Several of the non-resident students, daughters of Naval personnel stationed at Newport, have varied backgrounds and have had many interesting experi- ences in other countries. In addition to travel by bus, there are many share the ride plans, all of which adds up to hundreds of miles traveled by our commuters during the school year. p m : ' ? ; ; ;HSfe ' These are all Newporters — Joan Murphy, Vivien Massuda, Margaret Gomez, Sandra Stein, Joan Vaillan- court and Carol Radcliffe. In pensive mood are these. Perhaps thoughts of the next class prove disturbing. Geraldine Hogan performs for a group of fellow commuters. Sharon Henry, Irene Reese, Jane Hale and Barbara Deane are enjoying the situation. There are five sophomores ready to depart. Jan Armstrong, Ann Fitz- gerald, Shirley Lopes, Mary Cantore, and Rydia Almy find rain unpleasant. 31 business Club STUDENTS from the four classes, whose interests lie in the business field, constitute the membership of the club. Through lectures, movies, magazines, and books relevant to the business world, the stu- dent ' s view is broadened. Most important, too, is the correct philosophy on labor and capital, which is given the student through an intense study of the Popes ' 1 Encyclicals. Business efficiency is one of the main objectives of the club. Neatness and accuracy are stressed. The typing of term papers is offered to members as a club project. This gives the student an opportunity for the acutal employment of her particular skill. Likewise, this project engenders a spirit of co-operation which is essential for a suc- cessful business career. Under the guidance of our moderator, Sister Mary Othilda, R.S.M., wc hope to become admirable Future Business Leaders. Must be funny — Mary Mondi gives up her typing dem- onstration to share a joke with Eleanor Reyes, Peggy Kelly, Shao-Ling Hwa, Madeline Saccoccio, and Joan Kane. These Future Business Leaders are right at home in the typing room at all hours of the day. There ' s a meeting in the offing when Eleanor Hackett, president; Terry Gegg, treasurer, and Shao-Ling Hwa, vice-president, get together to discuss new projects and the means to carry them out. Second in popularity only to the typing room is the ma- chines room. Here, Terry Gegg, Judy Albanese, Eleanor Reyes, Eleanor Hackett, Mary Mondi, and Joan Kane get together before their classes to exchange notes on the business program. And how many hours are you carrying? 32 Spanish Club Mrs. Esther Peters finds pleasure in conversing with Juanita Ocasio and Fausta Quental. Mrs. Peters, a native of El Salvador, enriches our knowledge of Spanish and in turn is eager to learn the twists and turns of American idiom and usage. J— jL CIRCULO Salamanca, the Spanish Club, un- der the able and energetic Sister Mary John-Francis, R.S.M., accomplished many activities. The Mexican Dinner, the Pinata party — held at Christmas, and the annual dance to name only a few, were given to further our understanding of the Spanish-speaking Americas. The club holds a membership in the na- tional affiliation of Spanish Clubs in the Hispanic Institute of America. Annually the members com- pete for the Cervantes medal, awarded by the In- stitute for outstanding scholastic achievements. The general meetings of the Club arc conducted in Span- ish, and occasionally through the year, informal talks are given by Spanish-speaking friends on their native lands. Through the club, it is hoped that the students of Spanish will have achieved a more complete educa- tion, not only scholastically, but socially also. The breaking of the Pinata with its treasures is the zenith of the party held on Twelfth Night. Joan Howell starts in surprise as the, gifts come crashing down. Caught off guard these members of the Spanish Club face the camera with ease and pleasure. Jan Armstrong, Marguerite Burns, Joan Howell, Carol Corcoran, Lys- beth McAlice and Fausta Quental enter wholeheartedly into the Club ' s activities and duties. 33 p. •••• 4 I I  .

Enduring is our devotion T„ LHE MARIA REGINA Sodality has a twofold purpose: the sanctification of the individual and the sanctification of others. To accomplish the first, the Sodality devotes one period each week to the study of the rules which form the basis for this way of life, the liturgy, and the office. Catholic Action is the field in which the second aim is carried out. During this year the Sodality members have co-operated to establish the Confra- ternity of Christian Doctrine on the campus. Christ- mas time saw the party for underprivileged children, while other seasons brought living rosaries, lectures, and processions. Finally, this year brought the es- tablishment of our titular feast of the Queenship of Mary. t Claire Randall, dressed as a tradi tional bride, joins in the Sodality tab- leau to observe January as the month of the Holy Family. Her serenity represents the ideal of Christian marriage. A mother ' s duty is to teach. Anna Fingliss fulfills her obligation to her daughter in this scene on the edu- cation of children in the fundamentals of their religion. With Liz McAlice as the Blessed Virgin in the final pageant, Amelia Poszatek, Patricia Aubin, Linda O ' Connell, Maureen Lynch, Fausta Quental, Shao-Ling Hwa, Yvonne Abdo, Viv- ian Massauda, and Juanita Ocasio gather to pay homage. Our talents are varied rT! THE MAGIC WORD that admits one to the realm of beauty! Enter the small all-purpose art room where you will see students busily engaged in work. Perhaps it is Art Education time, a popular course with education majors. Lesson plans are being formulated, projects worked out, ex- periments in line, color, and form are taking place. Art majors vie with each other in producing paintings, designs, and ceramic sculpture, for the annual exhibit. Programs pre- sented at this Art Club assembly feature the history and ap- preciation of art in daily life. Critical minds at work — Patricia O ' Connell, Sheila Doyle, Alice Fee, Julie Carlson, and Maureen McGar- rity study the value of two pictures. Admiring the work produced in the different art classes ing the semester, Mary Mclntire, Mary Jane Murphy, ginia Nourie, Margaret Mullaney, Art Club president, Margaret Colosey attend the art exhibit. dur- Vir- and . USIC IS THE universal language The Queen ' s Choristers form an integral part of our college life. The , 54 ' , 55 : season included radio and television performances, the Columban Missionary Benefit, and Christmas Cantata and the annual spring concert. A sincere Thank You to Sister Mary Rosina, our moderator, and Mrs. Heywood, our director, for their able direction. They are the foundation of all our success. A new piece of music brings a smile to the lips of the officers of the Queen ' s Choristers, Mary Nerbonne, Maureen Lynch, Patricia Wood, Eleanor Hall, and Alice Brotherson. Soloist at the Christmas Cantata is Mary Nerbonne. Since practice makes perfect, Mary devotes her spare time to the pieces she will sing after the annual Holly Dinner. 37 and our joys are many Celebrating their last Christmas at Salve, the senior class holds a buffet supper. Left, the group gathers around the Christmas tree; while, right, Peggy Kelly and Miss Rosemarie Archangel plan games. Dc ' ORM PARTIES, exchange of gifts, the Holly Dinner, carol singing in the Great Hall, the children ' s party in Mercy Hall and a host of little acts of kindness and good will make this week before the grand exodus for the Christmas holidays a time of special happiness. Santa is very much in evidence. The creche in the fireplace in the Great Hall creates the real spirit of this season. The Freshmen vie with each other in room decorations. They watch furtively while the upper classmen vote for the most attractively decorated Freshmen dorm. The climax of merry making comes with the midnight serenading and the last Merry Christmas before lights out. Now is the time for all good girls to come to the aid of the clean-up committee. Moore Hall residents close the evening with a chorus of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. 38 Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Hackett added prestige and distinction by their presence at the Junior Christmas formal. Joan Sheilds enjoys the limelight for a few seconds in a graceful pause between steps at the Christmas formal. Two juniors, Mary Frances McKenna and class president, Barbara Johnson, reflect the joy of the Yuletide season. One in the pleasant interlude between dances and the other in the rhythm of a happy melody. 39 Tired, Jack? Mary Mclntire ' s escort, Jack Buckley, seems to have used up most of his energy waltzing with his member of the queen ' s court at the Court Cotillion of 1952. As symbolic figures smile from the wall, Joan Carney, Madeline Saccoccio, Mary Nagle, Phyllis McCaughey, and Irene McLean enjoy themselves at an O.C. dance held at Mercy Hall. Surrounded by her court, Claire Randall, queen of the Court Cotillion, ac- cepts a bouquet from her escort, Robert Ryan. The stars on her crown carry out the theme of Stardust. Prior to stepping through the ring, Mary Davis re- ceives her Star Sapphire from Mother Mary Hilda, R.S.M. THE STAR SAPPHIRE Love there is in the gold of it, Caught in the very soul of it, Lost in the pure, round shape of it, Filial love. A star shines out of the depths of it Calling us all to follow it, Lifting us up to the height of it. A star, a symbol of hope. Our Lady encircles all of it, The sapphire golden whole of it, And blesses all who cherish it, In faith, and hope, and love. Framed by the ring, Alicia Donohue and her fiancee, John Larsen, pause at the Sapphire Ball. The Class of 1955 stands before the replica of our Star Sapphire as Evelyn Burns offers tribute to our parents on the memorable occasion of our Ring Cere- mony. A shower of colored bal- loons from above tempo- rarily halts festivities as dancers hurry to catch a falling souvenir. Half the fun lay in the noise pro- duced as the balloons were punctured. 41 Pat Wood, Wilma Meagher, Jan Armstrong, Maureen Lynch and Pat MacDonald stop to chat for a few moments. It seems as if a lift would be in order since the day is chilly and a cozy car looks inviting. Pat Wood is persuading Wilma Meagher on that score. yifM Mary Nerbonne, Sheila Dugan, Carol Corcoran, Alice Fee, Eleanor Claffey, Maureen O ' Rourke, Joan Vaillan- court, Rydia Almy, Eleanor Hall, Virginia Nourie, Mar- guerite Burns and Mary Jane Murphy face the camera with varied dispositions and with varied results. Pensive, serious, gay and just plain sleepy — the camera tells the story.

Mary Ann discovered a worm on her way up. She really is brave holding it in the palm of her hand. Shirley Lopes, Ruth Davison, Ann Fitzgerald, Sandra Stein, Margaret Gomez, Ann McGowan, Cathleen Earley, Joan Murphy, Virginia Sac- coccia, Carol Radcliffe, Mary Can- tore, and Joan Vargas beautify the landscape at Mercy Hall. Class officers gather around Our Lady. Anna Damiano, secretary; Caroline Swetnam, president; Lysbeth McAlice, student council representative; Jean Caya, vice-president, and Lillian Igo, treasurer, are worthy representatives of the class of ' 57. A familiar scene on Fridays at Mercy Hall. Homeward bound or very nearly so are Mary Lou Costa, Kathleen Braney, Amelia Poszatek, Ellen Jane Cox, and Maureen Murphy. Mary Casey lights the candle for the second week in ad- vent. This ceremony takes place each week just before dinner during the Advent season. Norma has a coy expression. Mary and Joan seem quite at home. Comradeship personified. A precious memory of college days to look back upon. December brings parties. Alicia Dono- hue, Betty Brown, Evelyn Burns, Es- telle Daglis and Sophia Pappas are ready for the good cheer of Christ- mastide. Rlfip Reverend Christopher McElroy of the Carmelite Fathers seems to be in deep meditation in the midst of this jolly group assembled in Mercy Hall smoker. 44 f IJf f J- if ' ! 1 1 Ik Merry Christmas, everyone! Norma Aubertine, Joan Kane, Mary Nagle and Anne Manning have the holiday spirit- in the confines of their room in Mercy Hall. It seems Santa has come and gone. Ready to receive their rings minutes before the ceremony, Mary Mclntire, Maureen Davis, Maria Sepe, Margaret Kelly, Madeline Saccoccio and Claire Randall pose for the photographer. Are they contemplating building a snowman or is it too cold for such sport? The icicles on the building bespeak an old fashioned snowstorm. These girls are taking ad- vantage anyway. There is something fascinating this group. Mrs. Heywood, Sister Mary Martha, Mary Casey, Mary Mondi, Norma Aubertine, Joan Kilduff and Eleanor Reyes are all intent. Every picture tells a story! From the looks Lyn and Santa are in fine trim. Maybe Santa has had a hard day. At any rate the Christmas spirit has caught up with Salve Regina. 45 fc 1 irTj fc - 1 i ■ . ' %.

On the threshold of a nursing career, Salve probationers pose with their in- structor, Sister Mary Donalda at St. Joseph ' s Nurses ' Home. With solemn step, Maria Sepe, Marie Toppa, and Lyn Woods approach the altar to recite pledge. Our dedicated nurses 1 ( O GIVE IS TO RECEIVE Thus, the white caps beckoned us and we came, candles in hand, to begin the first major step of our chosen field. We saw in nursing a chal ' lenge, a profession, and a reward. The manifold responsibili- ties as a Catholic nurse, a college woman and a professional leader seemed an unattainable goal at first, but somehow we persevered. Correlating practice with theory, embodying a generous spirit and a loving heart — wasn ' t always easy. But all agree — we ' ll never change our minds! Hope this isn ' t the first hypo that Lyn has ever given! Maureen Davis makes a very confident patient, while Joan Kilduff, Marie Toppa, and Maria Sepe wait for the results. 48 m i Who ' s turn is it? is the ponderous question at the Senior bridge held at the Viking Hotel in Newport. Norma Aubertine contemplates her next move as Mary Mondi looks on. Eleanor Reyes, chairman of the Senior bridge, checks final plans with Mary Mondi, Margaret Mullaney, Joan Car- ney and Madeline Saccoccio. College bound after hospital experi- ences are our Senior nursing students, Joan Kilduff, Maria Sepe, Marie Toppa, Caroline Woods and Ger- aldine Barry. 49 Dramatics coach, Miss Rosemarie Archangel, discusses a forthcoming production with club members Helgi Danjczek and Maureen Lynch.

Z he play ' s the thing U NDER THE direction of Miss Archangel, the Regina Players presented in February a one-act farce, The Amazing Arabella. Arabella is a grandmother who believes that life begins at eighty — deriving a vicarious existence of spills and chills from a vast variety of detective thrillers. These foibles and idiosyncrasies annoy her daughter, Mrs. Fenwood who has hopes of securing. a $25,000 bequest for her local chapter of the Women ' s Club. Mrs. Van Walton, ultra overstuffed piece of bombast and executor of the bequest, visits the Fen ' wood home in the absence of Mrs. Fenwood. Humorous complications arise when Mrs. Walton meets grandmother, but all resolves to a happy ending. The Players ended their season with a spring pres- entation and musical review. Mrs. Van Walton ' s (Marie Robinson) check causes almost as much excite- ment in the Fenwood household as The Amazing Arabella herself. The play stars Peggy Colosey with Mary Mondi and Carolyn Swetnam. 50 The library reading room, second home of education and English maj- ors, provides peace, quiet and room for concentration for every Salve-ite. Nursing students, Pat Wood and Ann McGowan, brush up on Medical Eth- ics for Nurses at the library reserve shelf. M, What do you read, My Cord? LANY INNOVATIONS have made the library a favorite study site for all classes. New stacks have centralized the location of books, the education lab- oratory has provided a compact wealth of material for student teachers, and range of subject matter in periodicals has been extended considerably. Now approaching fourteen thousand volumes, the collection has been augmented by new texts in every field, some valuable first editions, and current best sellers. Sister Marie Thercsc, R.S.M., capably supervises library functions and places at the disposal of stu- dents every available means to knowledge. Redwood Library proves a good source of reading ma- terial for Joan Kane and Anne Manning, English minor and major, respec- tively. Student Council The Student Council and its officers pose for a formal picture. Council members include class presidents, class representatives, and the senior delegate to the N.F.C.C.S. Front row: Constance Casey, treasurer; Joan Kane, vice- president; Madeline Saccoccio, president; Mary Mondi, and Barbara Johnson. Back row: Caroline Swetnam, Frances Monaghan, Anne Manning, Judith Albanese, secretary; Mary Casey, Liz McAlice, Nancy DuPont, and Cynthia Bernadoni. Th LHE STUDENT COUNCIL is Salve Regina Col- lege functioning democratically. Its main purpose is to govern and regulate college rules supplemented by sponsoring social and spiritual activities. Under the guidance of Sister Mary Martina, R.S.M., Mod- erator, and Sister Mary Constance, Dean of Stu- dents, student government forms a link between students and faculty fostering better relations and general improvements for the college. The president of the Student Council presides weekly over the gov- erning body which consists of the four respective class presidents and student representatives, the N.F.C.C.S. Delegate, and the Student Council offi- cers. The ent ire student body realizes that Student Council is protecting their rights and their respective delegates are performing their duty in a way to best serve them; therefore, Student Council holds a great deal of prestige among the students. The success of the student government depends upon the unlimited co-operation of both students and faculty. Madeline Saccoccio, student council president, and Joan Kane, prefect of the sodality, enjoy a moment ' s respite from their duties. 52 Madeline Saccoccio welcomes the two new members of the student council, Frances Monaghan and Nancy Du- Pont. Cynthia Bernadoni and Lysabeth McAlice compare notes along the way to student council meeting. Judith Albanese, student council sec- retary, has the unenviable job of checking on demerits. Here she is in her official capacity. It seems that two Caseys have their fingers in the pie, too. Mary and Constance (no re- lation) are both council members. What ' s new in notices? Mary Mondi, senior president, together with Bar- bara Johnson, junior president, Caro- line Swetnam, sophomore president, and Frances Monaghan, freshman president, get abreast of the times. It has been known that catastrophes have occurred from ignoring the of- ficial bulletin board. SALVE REGINA COLLEGE LIBRARY Advent of another Ebb Tide issue, Joan Langhorn, co- editor, explains set-up of latest dummy to Joan Kane, as Constance Casey, Claire Phelan, and Patricia O ' Connell wait their turns. Not only do we publish — we circulate. Business manager, Helen Rigney, directs the mailing of copies to subscribers by staff members, Moira McEnness, Dorothy Kehew, and Patricia Wood. 86b Zide Look of determination proclaims that the deadline is near. Typing staff — Loretta Verd e, Shao-Ling Hwa, Mary Ann Flannery, Lillian Chien, and Shirley Perry — works to meet it. 1 UBLISHED EVERY two months, the Ebb Tide contains school news, club activities, features and interviews. Under the general direction of Sister Mary Donald, R.S.M., faculty advisor, Virginia Boisvert and Joan Langhorn head a staff made up of twenty-three sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Helen Rigney, as business editor, solicits advertise- ments and supervises exchange. Members of the art department supply appropriate drawings for each issue. As a vehicle for journalistic talent and for some creative writing, the Ebb Tide staff is open to all who are interested. Behind-the-scene pillars of the staff — Eleanor Reyes waits to relieve Shao-Ling Hwa at the keyboard. Page after page of typewritten material attest to their indispensa- bility. Kegina Maris A COLLEGE LIVES in its students. Yet, it is the purpose of a yearbook to reflect student life within its pages. Kegina Maris staff floundered through many new ideas and met numerous ob ' stacks, but finally here is the completed product. The staff is grateful to all who gave them encourage ' ment and support. May this Kegina Maris of 1955 depict those things which you in the years to come would like to remember about your days at Salve Regina. Joan Howell, Peggy Mullaney and Mary Mclntire, artists par excellence, revel in ideas. Here we find them in- terested in sketches for year book — the pet project on hand at the moment. The dummy ' s the thing! Anne Manning, editor, consults staff members Joan Kane, associate editor; Claire Ran- dall, business manager, and Norma Aubertine, circulating manager. It seems this dummy haunts us night and day. 55 k Sociology Club HROUGHOUT THE year the sociology club program deals in services and practical experience. Some members have served at the Red Cross Home Service Division as aides, where they received prac ticc in supervised interviewing, running teletype machines, and writing case histories. Others devote two afternoons a week to caring for children from three to twelve years of age at the Children ' s Home on School Street. Among the most enjoyed events of the year are the May procession for physically handicapped children and the club ' s holiday parties for these home-bound youngsters. Little Claire Warner crowns Our Lady at the Moore Hall Shrine assisted by her court, Barbara Johnson, Joan Langhorn, and Helen Rigney, after the children ' s pro- cession. Contacting the Red Cross about duty at the Naval Hospital Nursery are club officers, Joan Langhorn, Vir- ginia Boisvert, Sheila Doyle, and Ger- aldine Hogan.

Mrs. Jose Ramos is the competent director of the French Club which is affiliated with the Alliance Francaise Nationale. The club includes all students of French extending to them a clearer knowledge of that colorful culture accredited to the French alone. An opportunity to increase a sp eaking knowledge of the language is afforded by both the formal meetings and the in- formal sessions which are conducted entirely in French. (Translations are given if Qu ' est-ce que c ' est? is heard too often!) Musical programs and parties conducted according to French customs, such as the celebration of Epiph ' any with the Epiphany cake and coronation of a king and queen, highlight the year ' s activities. A time for fashion Highlighting the year ' s activities, the Home Economics Club sponsored a fashion show held in November. With its theme, The Bride of the Month, the event also featured students from foreign countries, door prizes and a coffee hour. The initiation for new members was held in Sep- tember. Each was presented with a candle, lit from the Betty Lamp, symbol of the Home Economics Club of America. Other activities included an in- ternational dinner, Red Cross work, attendance at the Province I Workshop, and a mammoth food sale. To climax the year, the girls entertained the senior members at a farewell party. The senior presi- dent received an additional piece of silver for her set, and the 1956 officers were installed. Participating wholeheartedly in every club affair, the members supported their officers, Norma Auber- tine, Dorothy Hunter, Mary Nagle, and Myrna Clancey. Sister Mary Martha, R.S.M., is moderator of the club. Last minute look — Joanne Carney and Mary Nagle pre- pare to model in fashion show. Finery for the grammar school and college is displayed by Helen Ann Reed and Norma Aubertine, president of Home Economics Club. The charm of an oriental costume, complete with fan, is demonstrated to an appreciative audience by Shao- Ling Hwa. Simplicity of style is the keynote of this ankle-length formal worn by Juanita Ocasio. Members of the freshman gym class seem to have mixed opinions of the badminton form of demonstrators, Marie Robinson and Loretta Verde. And a day for sports ►J PORTS at Salve Regina occupy a pleasant in- terval in our weekly curriculum. Many happy hours are spent in the gymnasium at Mercy Hall under the direction of Miss Rosemarie Archangel, our in- structor. In the autumn months, classes are occupied with the fundamentals of field hockey and actual practice sessoions. With the coming of winter, basketball is welcomed and friendly rivalries develop, both inter- scholastically and intramurally. Dancing, learning correct steps and rhythms are also integrated into our sports program for the year. The spring winds come quickly upon us, and with them a great surge for the outdoors and tennis. Field hockey is resumed, and softball becomes of major interest. This participation in sports has given the students a healthy attitude, and has taught them much in the line of sportmanship and fair play. Got it! Paula Cooper leaps to re- ceive a pass from a team mate during an intra-class basketball game. Jean Maguire prepares to guard as other players rush in. Marie Toppa and a member of Regis College show the spirit of true sports- manship in basketball. The game ' s the thing and with rivalry, a cheering team, and good will, all goes well. 59 Highlight of the 1954 Spring Weekend — the Junior Prom. Led by the queen, Sallyann MacLeod, the couples in the grand march pause for a pic- ture. Spring Weekend M. • AY TIME is prom time with a whole weekend of fun. A beach party, a sail along the bay, and a dinner dance initiate the activities for this month of functions and farewells. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors share responsibilities for the suc- cess of these gala days. Rain or shine the weekend goes on. Anticipation and actuality — each has its own joys. The spring weekend is worth remem- bering. 1 V, I. i  ' A V Couples march down the Great Staircase as the Junior Prom swings into action. This is the big item on the agenda for the Spring Weekend. 60 Loved Mother, at thy shrine we place — preceded by sodality board members, Roberta Dutra, Joan Howell, and Peggy Mullaney, prefect Joan Halligan prepares to crown a statue of Our Lady as the climax to Mary week in May. Cody ' Day in May T„ . HE ANNUAL May Procession climaxes the sodality program for the year. It is a public profession of faith in and devotedness to Our Lady. It inaugurates a whole series of activities common to May on our campus. It is fitting that it should be thus. Just as the feast of Our Lady of Mercy in September found us at her shrine so the close of a school year in May finds us crowning her as Our Queen. As part of devotion to Our Lady this collection of Madonnas was dis- played during May. Miss Julie Carl- son, a sophomore student, graciously lent us some of her statues. Miss Carlson has an array of such treasures brought to her by her father from various places in both hemispheres. 61 juniors + f) A JUNIOR IS the third quarter of the whole . . . wears a star sapphire on her finger; its brightness reflected in her eyes . . . thinks pisza and coffee cab- inets a perfect midnight snack . . . becomes lost in the fog between aether and cosmos . . . she has a new perspective on the future through her field of concentration . . . spends at least half of every week in the library . . . and is amazed to find an occasional author who agrees with her . . .

Here the majority of the junior class finds a few free minutes for a game of bridge, scanning the morning headlines, discussing new assign- ments, and catching up on the latest campus news. Pleasure as well as business claims the attention of junior officers: Cynthia Bernardoni, representative; Shirley Gartsu, secretary; Barbara Johnson, president; Jane Hale, treasurer; Moira McEnness, vice-president.
