ANNA IAIUNT '40 Q -..gf 6 we The Parmentier Family T is only fitting and proper that we, the graduating class of 1940 express our grati- tude and appreciation to the Parmentiers, who as a token of their generosity, be- queathed to the Sisters of Saint Joseph the building, now St. joseph's Commercial High School or Parmentier Memorial , for the Catholic education of young women. Many people reach social and local prominence, but few receive the honor due to the accomplishment of Andre Parmentier and his daughter Adele Bayer. Born at Enghien, Belgium, July 3, 1780 he married in 1813 Sylvie Parmentier, who was born at Louvain in 1793. They came to New York in 1824. Andre was a great lover of nature. He was the first to introduce into the United States several varieties of shrubs, flowers, vege- tables and vines. He also founded in 1825 the Hrst Botanic Garden in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, death came November 26, 1830 and cut short the great work of this benefactor to men. Madame Parmentier and her two daughters, Rosine and Adele, continued his work. In the following year they moved to a Hne mansion Know the present Convent of our Facultyj at 342 Bridge Street, which Madame Parmentier had built and where they devoted their lives and fortunes to charity. As well as being of the nobility, they were also outstanding Catholics. Andre was one of the founders of St. james, and when in 1838, the second Brooklyn Church, St. Paul's was founded, the family in order to help the new parish, joined it immediately. At various times, missionaries from foreign countries were welcomed at the house of the Parmentier's. Adele, the wife of Edward Bayer, was known for her remarkable activities among the sailors of the merchant marine and in and about the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It has been said her work was that of a saintly missionary? When the Civil War broke out in 1861 the recruiting for the Navy increased and Madame Bayer began her ministra- tions to the wants of the men at the Navy Yard. She died in Brooklyn, January 22, 1892, and the Navy suffered a loss in the death of this worker of charity. Madame Bayer was buried in the family vault in St. Paul's. The news of her death was communicated to the ships on foreign stations, and words of sympathy and sorrow came back with a desire to erect some mark of respect that would preserve, to future generation of sailors, the memory of their life-long friend. A Requiem Mass was celebrated on board the Vermont , the receiving ship she had so often visited. On Sunday, November 12, 1892, the first Solemn High Mass at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was celebrated for the repose of her soul. The latest survivor of the Parmentier family was a daughter Rosine , born March 1, 1829 in Brooklyn where she died in 1908. In her will she left the old family residence on Bridge Street to the Sisters of St. Joseph who transformed it into a Commercial School for girls known as Saint Joseph Commercial High School Parmentier Memorial. KATHLEEN HAWKE '40. 7 law... Pius XII, Pope of Peace UGENIO PACELLI was born in Rome, and was ordained a priest in 1901. In the year 1917, he became titular Archbishop of Sardes, being thereafter sent to Munich as Apostolic Nuncio. During this time, he was an outstanding character in the negotiations of Benedict XV, who, at the time was attempting to mediate with the Central Powers, and the Allies, for peace. Deeply moved by the suffering during the World War, the Arch- bishop preached fearlessly against the Red Regime which had followed in the wake of the war. Through his efforts, the famous Concordat between the Holy See and the Reich was effected. However important all these actions might seem, they were surpassed by still more important tasks before his election as Supreme Pontiff, during which time he clearly displayed his courage in defending peace even at the risk of his own life. Cnce he had been sent by Benedict XV to interpret the proposed pontifical peace to the entire German world, and in the face of great odds, he did not hesitate to defy the Communists who would not stop at destroying Catholicism alone-but even God Himself. This is just one incident by which he later earned the title, Pope of Peaceu. Pope Pius XII's coat of arms bears the motto: OPUS JUSTITIAE PAX QThe work of justice is peacej. He was successor of Pius X, who died with a prayer for peace, and of Pius XI, who offered up his life for peace. It is therefore fitting that he follow their zealous example. He opened his Pontificate on March 3, 1939, with a strong plea for peace, addressed to the world from the Sistine Chapel, and his first pronounce- ment was a strong heartfelt plea for peace, a peace founded on justice and charity. His very appearance marks him as the model of the Prince of Peace that he really is. His words reveal that inner peace which his expression implies, and in them is set forth his right to the noble title, The Pope of Peace . His words, upon his arrival in the United States, remain emblazoned upon the pages of history: I am happy to find myself within the territory of a great people who know how to unite so beautifully and nobly a sense of discipline with the exercise of a just, legitimate and well-ordered liberty. May all the sons and daughters of the North American Continent, in spite of present difficulties, enjoy a condition of noble and decent human existence which is the prerequisite of a true and lasting peace in society. In his first message, as he ascended the throne of St. Peter, Pius XII uttered the following words: To this Our paternal message, We will add a hope and invitation to peace. We speak of that peace which Our Predecessor of blessed memory urged so insistently upon men, for which he invoked such ardent prayers, and for which he made to God a spontaneous offer of his life. We speak of that peace which is the sublime gift of heaven, the desire of all good souls, and the fruit of charity and justice. In his first Encyclical, he appealed for peace treaties to be negotiated at the close of the war, which would not bring about the sacrifices and sufferings which had been the result of the last war. He promised to devote his time to the quick return of peace, when he said, Safety does not come to peoples from the sword which can impose conditions of peace, but which does not create peace. Thus, the true Prince of Peace speaks through Pius XII, His newly crowned Pope of Peace. DOROTHY HURLEY '40. .ggi 3 E... Pom PILN XII Z. ,Q3 .w'ls .-'wr S+-2 l Greetings IGHT Reverend Monsignori, Reverend Fathers, beloved members of the Faculty, dear parents, relatives, and friends: We have met here this evening to participate in one of the greatest moments of high school life, the culmination of our intellectual endeavors to attain success. In behalf of the Class of 1940, it is my pleasure and privilege to greet you on this auspicious occasion. Your presence has added much to our joy and taken away a little of the sorrow which is always present at the parting of the ways . . . The time has come when we must leave the sheltering walls of school and home and take upon ourselves the obligation of responsibility. Now we must consider the world in its length and breadth, the many races of men, their random achievements and accomplishments, the disappointments of life, the dreary, hopeless lack of religion, the condition of all humanity-all this is a vision which is too appalling. We need not fear these things, however, for we have been well-prepared to meet and overcome every obstacle in all phases of life. Though we are all anxious to draw aside the curtain of the future and to soar to great heights of fame, fortune and success, we realize, through the medium of our education and our ventures into the field of literature, that life is not a mere battle for success, but a struggle of ideas, of culture against ignorance, of civilization against barbarism. It is a contest between two orders, between the material organization of the world and the Christian ideal based on spiritual faith and animated by Charity. The triumph of such an ideal in a world that seems governed only by material forces and distracted by hatred and greed may seem a fantastic dream. But in history, .it is often the incredible that happens. We offer our deepest and most grateful appreciation to our beloved parents who have made heroic sacrihces, not asking the cost, to see us protected during our forma- tive years. At the present time, the world is impatiently waiting to test our ability, our courage and our Faith-and you, dear parents, have helped to prepare us for this test in more ways than you can imagine. You have contributed to our strength and fortitude, patience and understanding-the weapons with which we are armed for the battle of life and for which we shall be everlastingly thankful. To the revered members of the Faculty, we are not going to bid farewell, nor use mere words to offer our thanks, but we shall pray that all their efforts to make us model 'Catholic women will be engraved in gold in the great Book of Life. Our one great ambition is to prove ourselves worthy of all the priceless gifts that have been showered upon us by our loved ones. We shall strive to achieve our goal in order to show our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have extended a helping hand along our road to success. Through the years we shall often call to mind these words of the poet Wordsworth: To humhler functions, awful Power! I call thee: I, myself, commend Unto Thy guidance from this hour, O let my weakness have an end. Give unto me, made lowly-wise The spirit of self-sacrifice, The Confidence of reason, give, And in the light of Truth, Thy hondman let me live . . . In conclusion, let me express the hope that 'all who are present with us this evening will cherish the memory of this momentous occasion, as we who are graduating will always carry it in our hearts as a symbol of friendship and love to inspire us.

HELEN MCNEILL, '40 -- -sill SEEK- -- Farewell to Saintjoseplfs Dear Alma Mater, you have taught us all we know, And now into the world we are prepared to gog There is a sob in every throat, a tear in every eye Hushed is the gay lark's note for we hate to say goodbye. We know to be true, that it's just and right, That nestlings must sometime take to flight. For youth is the hope of the world they say- Thus far we have gazed in shocked dismay. But now we must fight for Faith and Truth This weary world's future is the battle of Youth. Our goal will not be mere fame and success But the spreading of happiness in place of distress. These principles, thoughts, all the good things we feel, Are inspired by Saint Joseph's, our school-our ideal. Though the paths which we choose may keep us apart, Memories, sweet memories will unite every heart.

KATHLEEN HAWKE '40 -sg 1 8 Q31-i -- Our grotto D Thou are all fair O Mary, and fberv is no xfailz in Tian , A few steps from the busy mart of our large metropolis one may seek spiritual rest and consolation in the Grotto of Our Lady. The Lily of Israel holds a very dear place in our hearts. In our humble grotto she stands with her pure white palms out-stretched, welcoming and calling all who seek her wonderful aid and guidance. Devotion to her first came when Mary, the Mother of God appeared to Blessed Catherine Laboure and instructed Blessed Catherine to have a medal struck to honor her Immac- ulate Conception. The medal portrays the Mother of God as she appeared to Blessed Catherine. To those who wear the medal it will give testimony of their love and devotedness and will be a grateful appeal for her powerful intercession. The patroness of our Ave Maria Club, she has become our Morning Star. We should go to her for solace in our woe as we would go to our own earthly mother. She is always there in the grotto to comfort and help us as our heavenly Mother. A memory, we the graduates, shall always cherish is the adorning of our Our Lady in the Grotto, and crowning her Queen of the blessed month of May. Spring, all around us, seems then more alive and the blossoms and flowers give off sweet scents of fragrance. As Queen of Peace, Mother of Christians, we should always pray fer- vently to Mary for peace in this world of Chaos and unrest.

What thrilling and practical careers are awaiting our study as our wary feet step over the threshold into a new world. No longer are we young ladies tutored in the arts of music, fashion and grace and then placed sweetly on the shelf to await that knight in armor, who will come and carry us off into the sea of matrimony. No, today we can boast of the fact that we are really women. As we step into the highway of life shall we not be considered competent enough to transact the business of a great executive? A secretary may truly consider herself her employer's mind. She must know what he should be doing, at what time and at what place. QThis young ladies, is what we have been training for.j I imagine some girls would enjoy a career that is more thrilling! What of a Doctor! What could be more exciting than to be able to take a person's life in your hands and relieve him of all the tortures and pains of which he has suffered. Aviation, the next great improvement will provide many young girls with a thrilling career. just the thought of soaring through the heavenly clouds will make their hearts beat faster. Now let us come down to earth and review the practical careers of our present age. I believe, as do many others, that nursing will head this list. This is a career that is practical and at the same time profitable in a temporal and spiritual way. A nurse has the privilege of caring for the weak and helpless. ln consideration of all these cheerful and attractive futures let us not be hasty in our choice but let us be guided by the principle and example of firstly, the Divine Preacher, Christ Himself, Who has said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Secondly, when perplexed, discouraged and disheartened Ite Ad joseph and all difficulties will disappear as in the past. Finally, having learned and known the Truth from our Alma Mater, the Truth shall make us free to reach our eternal destiny.

Farewell to gay, carefree school days, to happy high school friendships, to linger- ing memoriesg farewell to patient teachers ever encouraging, ever inspiring with kind words and deeds-and the saddest farewell of all-to our dear Alma Mater, St. Joseph's the scene of our joys, sorrows, trials and struggles. We have endeavored by our accom- plishments to make you proud of your first four year graduates. These dear old walls have not served us as a mere institution of knowledge, but as a sympathetic guardian in whose hands were placed the destinies of sixty young maidens to be instructed, guided and prepared for life's stormy seas. Let us turn back the pages of time four short years and picture bewildered fresh- men trembling on the threshold of St. Joseph's. Its generous arms opened wide to receive into its midst the strangers and bade them welcome. In that first year sixty future women of America were being trained toward the aspiration of higher ideals. The second year swiftly passed on fleeting wings, the seeds of charity, uprighteous- ness and loyalty were planted deeply and they had found rich soil. When we again passed through the sheltering portals of St. Joseph's we possessed and added years of wisdom. Our tasks had multiplied and become more difficult. With the true spirit of St. Joseph's perseverance, hard work and study, the students attacked the enemy with a three years' reserve of training and an overwhelming victory was won with banners unfurled. At last came the day when we came into the full right and title of a high-school student-we were seniors which epitomized the four years' activities in one. The realiza- tion of the four years' dream was at hand. Twelve months of feverish preparation, of final instruction, of Faith, character building and practical knowledge were under- taken. No task was too great, no task was too small for the good of its members who were about to face another phase of life. Dear classmates, commencement night brings down the curtain on the first phase of our life. Soon another curtain will rise. We shall be in new surroundings among a sea of strange faces. Adhere to the principles of St. Joseph'sg follow them through and success and happiness will be yours. Keep always in your hearts the memories, both happy and fruitful of our dear Alma Mater. Although we say farewell to daily associations, we pledge ourselves to numerous reunions.

It serves us as a record of our achievements, hopes and ambitions. In this paper are imbibed the true spirit of our dear Alma Materg hard work, perse- verance and cooperation.

No movement in Catholic Action can succeed unless its participants are clearly conscious of the eflicacy of this motto. The contributions of the students make it possible for missionaries to receive help not only in the United States, but also in the foreign countries, and most of all, in the warring nations. Chalices, vestments, monstrances and altar linens are some of the gifts which have been sent to missionaries working against all obstacles to bring souls to Christ. Personal sacrifice has also been offered for the salvation of souls. Not only have many of our former graduates led the way into the various mission fields of foreign lands, but a former member of our Faculty, left last year to carry on at Santurce, Puerto Rico, the work which she had been so nobly doing here in Brooklyn. In support of their vivacious oflicers, Eileen von Minden, president, Veronica Franks, vice-president, Bernadette Ryan, secretary, and Catherine Hilke, treasurer, St. Joseplfs Mission Crusaders have cooperated most generously and zealously, thus con- tinuing to promote the good work of the unit which has been carried on for the past eighteen years. We are confident that those who follow in the footsteps of Eileen von Minden and Bernadette Ryan, two of the 1940 graduates, will put forth their earnest efforts to keep St. lIoseph's Unit active and progressive, and that they will always remember- The Sacred Heart for the World, the World for the Sacred Heart. CATHERINE BALDAUF '40, -i 45147119 r- Class History OUR years have passed since first we were angelic freshmen. From the time when we gazed on seniors with awe, we have looked forward to this, our commencement. At last, we have attained that goal. It hardly seems possible that four years could travel so quickly. With the passing of those years we have accomplished many difficult feats and established numerous sacred precedents. We all remember well the days when the faculty gayly joined in our recreations. We remember teaching each other the Big Apple and other dance crazes of four years ago. We remember playing rope with an imaginary rope. It was not an unusual sight to see our former principal walking slowly about the yard crocheting some lacy morsel. Do you remember that bingo game we sponsored to buy the movie projector for the biology lab., and the cake sales? Who could forget those memorable cake sales? Remember how flat and messy the cakes were after their jaunt in the 8 o'clock subway rush? Oh! and we mustn't forget the play that the IB's gave. My Wild Irish Rose, was the title. Due to the able direction of Sister, the play ran for three showings. We really had a wonderful first year. Then came Spanish and algebra. Spanish caused worry but algebra--. Despite a few studious outbursts we spent some of our busy periods mixing lunches. You know! half a ham sandwich mixed in with half a chicken and then passed to the desk farthest away. One by one the girls began to complain about their sandwiches being mixed and being in the wrong wrapper. For almost a month it was the school mystery. Then one fateful day we opened a sandwich only to discover that the girl, the little angel, had limburger cheese. Immediately the mystery was solved. We still think it was a trap. Our third year was really our most mischievous. We peregrinated to the annex on Duflield Street. The third floor belonged to St. Joseph's, but on the entire floor we occupied only two classrooms. The rest of the floor was vacant. At lunch time, we grew tired of just talking and resorted to games of hide-and-seek. We hid behind doors, in exits, under desks, and any place else that would accommodate us. At first there were only four in the game but gradually they grew to ten. Do you remember the revolution we nearly started the day two of the girls got themselves locked in an exist and almost missed the Spanish period? Remember the Merchant of Venice? We even dramatized it. Bernadette Ryan played Shylock and yours truly played Antonio. I took quite a riding about losing the pound of flesh, too. Another time, Catherine Kelly and Anne Roche greeted the Spanish class with nasty red bumps on their foreheads. It seems they thought they were late for class and managed to collide with the door as they dived through the doorway. We had fun but also spent many anxious hours in earnest study, if you can visua- lize us as being studious. Those were the days when we spent half of our history periods doing exercises Qto aid circulationj, and all our gym periods doing fancy dancing. Those were the days when it was not unusual to get 95221 in a history Regents. We smile as we say Those days have gone forever. The class enacted a scene from the House of Seven Gablesf' Remember? Kathleen Hawke portrayed Matthew Maule, Margaret Zoll played the Colonel, Anne Roche posed as Alice while Bernadette Ryan stole the scene as Scipio. Catherine Kelly was Hepzibah and Marie Noonan played I-Iolgrave.

We wrote the Alma Mater song to live on after we are graduated and with the cooperation of the faculty we hope to take with us happy memories of our school days in the form of this Year Book. All of us intend to preserve this, the first edition of St. Joseph's Year Book. MARIE NOONAN '4O. 4 3 jg..- Ojlice Managers in the Making A business oflice amid school surroundings. This is the atmosphere which pervades every secretarial practice session. The clicking sound of the typewriters is music to the ears of business-minded people. Erhcient stenographers taking dictation and tran- scribing their notes is a scene which greets the eye of every visitor who happens to stop momentarily to take a glimpse of business practice in force. Business machines are in full swing with students working at the Calculators, the Ediphone, the Dicta- phone, and the Mimeograph. At various intervals, ofhce day is held with the girls participating in a make-believe othce routine. The practice is of great significance to the graduates. It acquaints them with office routine and at the same time prepares them for a successful start in the business world. So letys go! Witli this most careful preparation and the inculcation of the highest ideals these graduates are ready to meet all obstacles.

The warmth and coziness of our school library has drawn us to its welcome many times during our four years sojourn at the Parmentier Memorial High School. ln this secluded nook we have spent many happy and joyful moments. From its book-shelved walls and its glossary of ideas intellectual, we have absorbed an appreciation of the cultural, a love for out-door life and the beauties of God. Leaving its portals of wit and humor, we have found poetry in the lively thoroughfares of the city, in the ever' blossoming Gelds of the green countryside, and in the skies of heavenly blue. The knowledge that flows from these volumes has brought home to us the finer characteristics and qualities of our cherished classmates. We can imagine them as heroines of mercyq we can see them going forth meeting all obstacles and vicissitudes' of life, unfurling the banner of high ideals of Catholic womanhood by their fine courage and spirit of friendliness. As an ever and present friend, our library will remain a. priceless treasure among our memories.

The budding young artists pictured above have always endeavored to accomplish the suggestion of the above quotation. They are not only developing lines of symmetry and beauty of color to merely resemble the subject, but they also capture the spiritual resemblance of all that God has created. Let us hope that with these lofty ideals they will look for the beautiful things in life and will try to color any dull shadows in life with their bright and attractive personalities. MARGARET ZOLL '40. 5 1 EQ..- Our cv4thletes A bvaliby lmdy makes for a bvalflay mind. Besides participating in intellectual and social activities, the students of our school do not neglect the physical development of their bodies. Here are a group of healthy, happy young ladies whose eager faces spell A-C-T-I-O-N. They excel in such sports as volley ball, relays and softball. Study, recreation and exercise-with these essentials of good health, our girls are physically Et to face the world.

To the Art department, we leave the mystery of the vanishing point. To the Spanish department, we leave the Past, Present and Future fand all other tenses, conjugations, idioms, vocabula1'y.j To the Business department, we leave the task of changing Babes in the YVoods into young business women C and we, former Babes in the Vfoodsn appreciate what a diflicult task that is.J To the Health Education department, we leave all our discarded Gym outfits with the hope that all the succeeding classes will be well prepared.

The intellectual eilicient young ladies whom you behold in the His- tory Class of 3B-1 are outstanding in the spotlight of St. Josephs Ever- ready to embark on inimical affairs associated with or concerning our present world crises, shows their bright interests in the future of the World. The international problems which present themselves daily in the classroom are attacked from all angles by these apt students, so as to dramatize in the minds of all the seriousness of what they are now facing. History, the ever-living subject has found a real part in their lives, for while the inhabitants of the world make it, SB-1 actually live it. By their attentive cooperation, shown in history-making presentations, one can readily understand Why the bombing of a city, the fall of a great General and the destruction of powerful armaments causes such lively arguments in this truly active group. MARGARET CARNEY '41 -.,.,gf5 5+3..,.- The June Class of '41 Extends Congratulations to Graduates As the future seniors of St. joseph's, we are proud to extend our congratulations to the group of girls leaving us now. Certainly, they have set us wonderful examples of diligence, preseverance, and loyalty to their Alma Mater. It is the ambition of each girl in the junior year to attain for herself the title Sccretary. Though some may fail to accomplish this, they will at least have the satisfaction of entering the business world a uladyf' A group such as this before you has a very favorable business outlook and combining their characteristics of honesty, soeiability, and adaptability, they constitute a most pleasant and interested set of young women. Class of June 1940, we wish you every success. MARY BRIDESON '41. -- ihl56iif- f I.IiFT TO RIGHT T011 Row'--M. Dunn, G. Masini, I.. Lundin, C. Ward, G. Oates, G. Hull A. Gunning, M. Sands M.

We, ourselves, are now half way through our high school career, no longer the frightened and bewildered freshmen that we were two years ago, but quite the sophisti- cated sophomores. Might I also add that we are girls of many talents, particularly mani- fested in our morning hymn. Ask the jolly freshmen around us to Verify the statement. And now something about the girls who are pictured above.
