Sister Mary Antonine, R.S.M., A.M., as Dean of Studies is concerned with our intellectual progress. Daily she meets the many problems, academic and cultural, which must be untangled in order to have the process of our education function properly. Around the corner from the front door is an office with books, files, and in particular a statue of Blessed Martin dePorres. Sister Mary Martina, R.S.M., Ph.D., registrar, despite the ringing telephone is never too busy to find the right solution to our difficulties. Sister Mary Constance, R.S.M., A.M., teaches chemistry, but her major function in the College is Dean of Stu- dents. Permissions, student problems, personal confer- ences — all these have a claim on Sister ' s time and wise counsel. Sister Mary Rose, R.S.M., Ed.M., our treasurer, is busy about many things, checking and rechecking in order that the college function efficiently and properly. A treasurer necessary — why yes! Mother Mary Catherine, R.S.M., B.S. in L.S., first superior and librarian of Salve Regina College has watched our growth with special interest. In this tenth year we acknowledge her endeavor and her solicitude during those first pioneer years. The hand which maps the course of Salve Regina ' s world is that of our president. Mother Mary Hilda, R.S.M., Ph.D., Within a dignified demeanor Mother Hilda cherishes a warm and sincere desire for each student ' s cultural enrichment. As our first president Mother Mary Matthew, R.S.M., Ed.D., met the challenge of organization and unification with quiet determination and prudent foresight. In this tenth anniversary year of 1957 we offer her our sincere esteem and gratitude.

Jn dedication h OUR FACULTY Salve Regina is composed of three integral parts — the buildings and grounds, the student body and the faculty. To this latter, the college faculty, the class of 1957 dedicates this yearbook. Even before Salve Regina opened its doors in September 1947 the faculty had found its niche as part of the college, making various plans for the academic, spiritual and social life of the future student body. Headed by Sister Mary James, R.S.M., first dean of Salve Regina College, the faculty of eleven welcomed the first class. During the administrations of Sister Mary Emeria, R.S.M., and Sister Mary Antonine, R.S.M., the present academic dean, the faculty has grown to thirty-one members. Mother Mary Matthew, R.S.M., and Mother Mary Hilda, R.S.M., respectively have performed the function of president during our ten-year history while Sister Mary Evangelista, R.S.M., and presently Sister Mary Constance, R.S.M., have filled the position of dean of students. As a whole the faculty exemplifies the unity and cohesiveness necessary for a successful college spirit. Their devotion to duty both spiritual and practical, their ever kind and understanding attitude toward our problems have made for them a place in the heart of each girl who has passed through Salve Regina ' s gates. It is for this loyalty and fine example that the class of 1957, with heartfelt hopes for God ' s continued blessings, dedicates our yearbook to the FACULTY, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.
