elta Epsilon Sigma 1--f High scholarship and outstanding diligence . . . h0's ho Although a labor be one of love, and a man's keenest satisfaction lies in the conviction that his job was Well done, recognition of the merit of his effort by others is the only reward he expects. By being chosen for inclusion in the pub- lication Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, eight men of the class of '51 have re- ceived the highest such reward. All of the men nominated for this honor by the college have evidenced out- standing ability in cooperation in cam- pus activities, responsibility to the col- lege and their classmates, leadership, and general citizenship, without the sacri- fice of scholarship. In arriving at this ideal harmony, these men have proven themselves genu- inely superior and give promise of far greater success in the future. By attaining membership in Delta Epsilon Sigma, national Catholic Honor Society, a student has been recognized and honored for his superior diligence in obtaining a record of high scholar- ship. Seven seniors fulfilled the require- ments for membership, and their names were added to the list of men who com- prise the Tau Chapter of the societyg .1 chapter granted St. Anselm's in 1940 'Qs a member of the National Catholic Edu- cation Association.

A metamorphosis and a professional touch bhey a ers Lower right: Early's Kimber . . . with Pender, a vet- eran team . . . In two years, dramatics have un- dergone a metamorphosis. From '47 to '49 the old disorganized society func- tioned, but only sporadically. In the Fall of '49 the group adopted its new name together with the experienced di- rectorship of Fr. Thomas Flaherty, and Mr. Edward Comiskey. Since then, the reputation of the players as dramatists with the professional touch, has spread throughout New England. Five seniors Ambi Pender, Bill Early, Dick Manning, Jack Petit, and John McNamara have bean. with the group since freshman days and did much in laying the new groundwork. Early and Pender have especially distinguished themselves as a veteran team by appear'- ing in every pruduction,from Career Angel through Shadow aml Substance, Room Service, George Wfashington Slept Here, to Dark Victory. They also ap- peared in productions of Mount St. Mary and Rivier Colleges which in- cluded: Barrets of Wimpole Street, Mur- der in a Nunnery, Ont of Wfinzl and Rain, jenny Kissed Me and Little Foxes. Outstanding characterizations were Pender's Canon Skcrrit fShadowJ and Doctor Steele CVictoryJ and Early,s Mr. Kimber fG. Washington, and Horace Giddens CI-ioxesj. With our class, the last memories of Brother Petroc will fade never to return again to haunt the Abbey Players. Fading memories of Brother Petroc . . .

For the rounvils an adequate record but a recession o greatness Its role iomotu and guule o student Although SL. A1lSCllll,S has had 21 Student Council since 1937, it wasn't until 1949 and 1951 that it reached its peak efficiency. During these two years when the Council was led by Don Jac- ques, it assumed sponsorship of the annual Parent's Day and inaugerated the' Freshmen Orientation programs. It also operated with exceptional success in its role as promoter and guide in all phases of extra-curricular activity. Unfortunately, 1951 saw a reces- sion of the Council's former greatness. Unable to efficiently maintain the healthy autonomy for which Jacques had so long labored, the 1951 Council, though adequate, failed to equal the record of its predecessor.
