GI.YNN lt was l940 and we were Freshmen, timid Freshmen, slightly in awe ol' the Seniors, and confused by the placement tests and the task of arranging our schedules. Wle met our big sisters at the traditional Fresh- man week party and soon began to feel at home here at Saint joseph College. Some of us won places in the Debating Club and on the Tnrge Editorial Board, and Anne Lynch, who was to serve our class for four years as President, had a leading role in Twelfth Night. VVe also showed our good judgment in electing Sister Maria Aneilla to be our Class Advisor. At the frequent informal teas in the third Hoor social room of Mercy Hall we listened to records from the musical library and dis- cussed the Freshmen problems. .lust then we were deep in Adler's How to Read a Bookn-it had been quite a shock to be informed that we couldn't even read-and we had the opportunity of meeting the author when he lectured here. By now we had learned what the scheme of our life at Saint. -Ioseph College was to be, studies, religious activities, extracurricular interests and social events happily mingled. XN7ith Father Gillis guiding us, we participated in our first annual College retreat and later proudly decorated our Corpus Christi altar. That year we also attended the Conference of New England Catholic Student Peace Federation held here and enjoyed the Inter- collegiate Drama Xveekend at which we presented Murder in the Cathedral. Wfe were introduced to some vital side lights of college life when we were initiated into the after-tea dish washing society, learned just how to serve at luncheons, and had many trying times with the younger gene- ration at the Bishop McAuliffe Center. And then, proud of our originality, we en- .ertained at the gay lklayday circus where we did our best. to lirighten the departing Seniors in our horror-house and to exhibit ,yur talents, newly discgoyered, as clowns ind aerobats. X'Vl1CI1 we returned lor our Sophomore fear we considered that we now knew our way' around and that as a class we were 'eally outstanding in the possession ol ,hat vital something called school spirit. Soplloniore culture tests, essay exanis, and ,he library project were due to bring us ,Jacik to earth a bit but with customary sell-assurancie we took upon ourselves the inaneing ol' the Clhristnias issue ol the I'urg1'. Our ad-getting ellorts did result in ,he paper's containing the greatest number ,xl pages in its history and we chalked up inother success lor the Class ol' fill. .-Xs our gilt to the College we decided to provide lrapes lor the ehapel and vestinents. This was the year that, with Doris Murphy as Qihairinan. we sponsored Open House Day. lt was the year we attended the Latin Xlllifliltil program series ol lectures and nusie. XVe dancied to the juke-box in lhe lounge and enjoyed the Targa Dance, ,he party lor Bradley Field nien. the Student Bridge and Fashion Show, the joint Glee Club Concert with Boston Col- lege, and our own Sophomore Hop ol which .Ioan Mariano was Chairman. Carry'- ing the daisy ehain, alter arduous days ol Jicking daisies, marked our last appear- tnee as Sophomores. Barbara FitzGerald was Cliairinan ol' the lnvestiture. This, our junior year, was to Je a more serious year lor us. The XVar Ilouncil had been established and we were Jusy with canteen courses, war stamps, and tontributing to the Blood Bank. As our mart lor the Fall lfestival we presented lt's Qt X'Voinan's XVorld, an original parody on women in goverinnent, and were so suc- :esslul at selling chanees lor this event Howl? 'flu' Clinmx. T1lI'1-7' dnzzglzlm was 7711717 ffl f11I1'ff. Samir .' .' I V ' 7' ' ' fW' - '- that we were rewarded with a gala 'l'urkey Dinner. Our eagerly awaited class rings linally arrived and we proved ottr worth as upperclassmen by taking a lead in school activities. Some of us appeared in Has the Harvest Come and in Maselield's Good Friday. On the lighter side, we set a precedent by enter- taining the naval cadets from Vlesleyan at our Junior Prom ol' which Nancy Kennedy was Chairman, and attended Father-Daughter Night. YVC lost our hearts to the friendly Von Trapp lamily who gave such an inspiring concert here and in turn tried our hand at singing when we presented our class song at the newly inaugurated Hum Night. Wle feted the graduating class at the llunior- Senior Luncheon and then at the Candlelight Ceremony, leeling very solemn, we accepted from this class their places as Seniors. As Seniors we really took ourselves quite seriously and stepped into the major positions in extra-curricular allairs. This year, again, Doris Goodrich managed our VVar Bond Drive so successfully that the College tripled its bond quota. Anne Lynch appeared as Mary in the traditional Nativity play and Seniors were in many ol the leading roles in Romeo and Aluliet while Betty Lewis excelled at stage management. Together we became involved in the discussion of ottr Ethics cases and in writing the very personal I Meet Mel' papers. Senior year found an innovation, the operetta, len Maidens and No Man , which the College produced. Our class was a bit appalled to lind that it sullered from a lack ol singing talent but we assured ourselves that we could still appreciate music and let the energetic Moshe Paranov teach us how to do so in his lecture series. Before we realized it comprehensives threatened us and we threw our- selves into coordination and review with lrightened zeal. However, our worse lears were never realized and somehow we managed to survive examinations with enough lile left in us to enjoy Commencement lVeek with its round ol parties. It was to be a gay but nostalgic week lor tts lor we knew that it meant good-by to Saint Joseph College and hello to that cold world in which the Class ol 19.1.1 must attain its well-deserved success. 66 Today . . . XVe, the Class ol' Nineteen Hundred Forty-lour, being ol sound body and reasonably sound mind and memory, do hereby establish this our last will and testament.

Wle live in a E I fairy-land where true alliances exist among nations, where domestic harmony prevails and where family units are complete-no absent members. But peace Jresides so com Jlacentl' that a new meril threatens. There is the ever-:resent l l l l l danger of slipping back into the dread somniferous chasm of unawareness. In fact the 'oun 'er feneration has almost for rotten the horrors of war. The ask 5 t 5 S Y us, XVl1at was college like in wartime? These were the conditions that led us up to the huge world conference with representatives of the Classes of 1944 and 1954. The primary aim of the con- ference was for us of the Class of T44 to tell the younger group just what our college days were like, to revive dormant memories, however painful, and to instill in their hearts a keener realization of war. But for those of us who attended the conference it was an unsurpassed opportunity to revive memories of a hap- pier aspect, and from among our classmates to discover not i'XVho's YVho but rather XVho's Vlhatf' Advance notices of the conference plans revealed that St. Joseph College graduates were particularly active. It was good to learn that Mariann D'Orazio was in charge of the conference. Her work abroad with U.N.N.R.A. has long received well-deserved recognition. Now perhaps she is grateful for those early morning German classes. Other names familiar to us all were listed as managing the actual mechanics of the affair. Mary McGoe handled all the hnancial arrangements. We do not know if the credit for this responsible position should be given to Mary's per- suasive smile or to her three years of experience as Class Treasurer. Muriel Lohneiss was in charge of a corps of young men and women re- sponsible for newspaper exploitation. The publicity was successful probably because dead-lines were established and adhered to in true Targirzn manner. Mary Martin was in charge of diplomatic relations. Ten years ago she mas- tered that art when she transferred in her junior year from VVilliam and Mary College-and now the technique has proven most advantageous. VVe traveled to the conference by plane, and by some coincidence the pilot of our trans-oceanic flight was none other than Barbara Allen. XN7e might have surmised that from behind her desk in the airlines personnel oilice Barbara would have wanted something a little more active. But we were surprised to find 71 that Kathryn Glynn accompanies Barbara on every trip, checking and recheck- ing atmospheric pressures. It seems that Kay made such an extensive study of the plastic field that the work was finished years ago. Wfhich reminds tts that Mary Macchi was unable to attend. She has had so many oflers ol' positions that she is still trying to decide which one to accept. .-Xfter ten years her family is getting a little impatient. Mary I.ombardo was also too preoccupied to come. But she finally breathed a sign of' immeasurable relief' as the printer of' the EP11.oczt't-1 said, bttt only a day or so ago, lX'ell, I guess that closes our little bttsiness deal, Miss Lombardo. Mary's roommate, Barbara Fitxflerald, was on the plane with tts. Today Barbara flies front one continent to another as often as she once journeyed from Hartford to Holyoke, The less predictable she is the better-Barbara maintains -because that's the way Bob loves her. In record time we arrived at the metropolis in which the conference was to be held. Each day there were meetings, discussions, plans. Each night we would gather in one hotel to garner the information that everyone was so eager to contribute. Emily Dennehy kept tts laughing for many minutes telling tts how finally She Met Her. Betty Hemenway, as usual, was busy while we talked. On further investigation we learned that she was ripping out all the Red Cross sweaters ol' the war in order that the yarn might be put again to active use. In a remote corner of the room we often spied Mary 'l'ighe, working vigorous- ly at a game of' Slap jack. Once she stopped just long enough to announce that she was at present experimenting with a new diet positively guaranteed to add a pound a day. Arline Mooney figured prominently at the convention. She made the trip every day, returning each night to Ireland where she devoted all her efforts to being the true lrislnnan's lawyer. Pauline Rossignol Schlosser gave a very poignant account of' the joys and sor- rows that war can bring, but judging from l'auline's radiance we guessed that the past ten years have amply atoned for the months of' separation. Loretta Hickey was there. Her name has become a household word, for she has supplanted Dorothy Dix and is now giving advice to the lovelorn that is both a literary and ethical achievement. joan Mariano it seems has been at S.j.C. for a few months now. She had done graduate work at Chicago, Boston, Yale, Princeton, Columbia. and Col- gate Universities and had returned to our Alma Mater to take her Ph.D. Margaret Meskill wrote to say that she could not attend. Everyone in general and one soldier in particular always knew that Marge's major in Home Eco- nomics was a very practical one. 72 Anne Lynch was also a little bothered by domestic difficulties. She had en- rolled Junior in the best -Iesuit school in the country, but then her problem was, X'Vhat to do about tlunior Miss? Along the same line Doris Goodrich and Jack have both been trying in vain to convince Sister Corita that Doris should not accept a position, that woman's place is in the home. A great many ol' the Class ol leltl came to the conference direct from our nation's capital. lean Ahern has achieved notable success in X'Vashington. lt was rumored that her absence from the conference was due to the fact that she was in the process ol' conducting the longest filibuster in history on women's rights. Mary Brosnan, as everyone knows, has been elected the most beloved woman ol' 1954. Her new income tax plan is that simple. lVe were a bit awed by Mary Carpenter. Such a business-like and ellicient attitude. lt was Mary who devised the latest scheme lor extracting the most work from the insurance clerks ol' Hart lord. lt is very simple. She just has them sing while they type. X'Ve heard that Grace Ahearn is still rushing around trying to ferret out the proper home enviromnent lor every underprivileged genius in New Haven-a species most abundant in that city. Grace has not as yet found time for the cot- tage small. losephine Vignone told us that since our Latin American neighbors have become so North Americanized she and Helen Perry are specializing in a revival ol' the forgotten South American dances that were so popular ten years ago. lVe saw plane Bennett enthusiastically describing to Carolyn Morgan and Vera Mclntyre her venture into the preparation ol nutritionally adequate meals lor rising young policemen. Vera and Carolyn, in turn, were trying to impress .lane with the importance ol' their new slogan, A Buick for Every Bushman. '1'his idea grew out ol' their Red Cross assignment in Australia. Mary McCormack told us that she and Rita Fagan are now successful enter- preneurs. Mary handles the accounts while Rita supervises the skating at Radio City. Although the rink is always too crowded for anyone to fall, Rita felt that she must not leave, just in case. Mary Gledich. the charming and dignified Dean of Vlomen at Smith College, was simply beaming throughout the whole conlerence. The reason? She has been promised a personal appearance by the glamorous star of the play that has been rutming on Broadway lor six years-none other than Nancy Gannon. Not only the star, but also the author, our own Ann Rosetta and the brilliant director, Betty Lewis, will visit Marys school. XVe utter the magical names ol' this tri- umvirate with voices respectlully hushed. 73 Jeanne Collins was one of the principal speakers at the conference. Wlith three brothers actively engaged in the war, who could have spoken from greater experience? Betty Oates breezed around from one group to another-notebook in hand and her ear keenly attuned. lille would not be at all surprised to find the doings of the conference disclosed in her next issue of tWe.s'rlr1mc.v, the magazine for smart young matrons. Nancy Kennedy managed to come for one day's session. Nancy, you know, is making a sweeping tour of the European countries in an attempt to convince the women of' these lands that nylon is a perfectly satisfactory substitute for rayon. Marion Hoban was able to present a revealing picture of the war because of her work on the rehabilitation of service men. YVe wondered which was more valuable to Marion-her study of psychology, or the general pattern acquired at St. Joseph of the fitness of things, It is rumored that because of a chance remark passed in the Ethics class Antonina Ucello is now the wealthiest member of our group. All her time now spent actively engaged in the law courts is devoted to clearing titles on land which is quite a lucrative pastime, we are told. The Chesterfield Company graciously consented to let their radio stars make a personal appearance at the conference. Vle were thrilled to hear the familiar introduction, This is Margaret McNamara and Ninetey-nine Pennsylvanians with music for everybody's pleasure. Doris Murphy and Jeanne Coldrick have limited their study of finance to household budgets. lt does seem too bad. 'l'hey were such promising young career women. But confidentially, we really never did believe that promise. Do you remember how Miss Florence Martyn used to delight us with tales of her interesting adventures in India? After graduation Miss Martin returned to India and is now amusing the natives with anecdotes of girls. Marion Shea and Margaret. Brosnan were so intrigued by Miss Martyn's work that they went along with her, and they are now deeply engrossed in the diffusion of General Culture among the less fortunate Indians. We have known that they were tops'l along this line since the days of Sophomore comprehensives. 'l'he whole conference was thrilled in anticipation of the visit of that re- nowned surgeon, Sarah O'Brien. Here indeed was a celebrity! It just did not seem possible that the same Sarah was one of the best jitterbugs of our class. l Vas the conference a success? Mlho can really tell? Mfe heard about each of our classmates. Some disclosures were startling, some obvious-all true to the Spirit Ofyf1i1. 74. fZllZZ'0l1Y I ,Xlnvy mm glam 1 ' fm: In mn funn: Tim 1. , This year lound the Class ol 19,15 'ts- suming their place as upperelassmen and leaders in College activities.
