Father  Francis  P.  Kilcoyne 

"It  was  a  ran*  eveni.  bin  ihen  rare  events  happen  in 
Brooklyn."  So  said  Bishop  Mugaveroat  theconc  lusion  o( 
the  Rite  of  Ordination  for  Rev.  Francis  P.  Kilcoyne  in  .St. 
James  Pro-Cathedral  on  October  4,  1980.  My  sister  and 
brother-in-law,  Mary  and  jerry  Shea  and  I  were  present 
and  I  would  like  to  share  the  soul-stirring  events  of  that 
weekend.  Let  me  start  at  the  beginning. 

From  1928  to  1948,  Mr.  Kilcoyne  was  a  teacher  at  St. 
Joseph's.  I  was  one  of  the  many  students  who  admired  him 
very  much,  and  I  kept  in  touc  h  through  the  years,  mainly 
through  greeting  cards.  I  remember  a  Saint  Patrick's  Day 
card  from  him: 

When  you  are  thinking  on  this  day 

Of  one  who  is  a  saint. 
Spare  a  friendly  thought  or  two 

For  someone  else  ivho  ain't! 

We  rejoiced  in  the  happ\  news  of  his  marriage  to 
Fleanor  Dunn:  in  tlie  bii  ih  ol  his  son.  Franc  is  P.  Kilcoyne 
Jr. — tiow  pastor  of  the  chinch  of  St.  Gregory  the  Great;  in 
his  elevation  tothepresidency  of  Brooklyn  College;  and  in 
the  many  other  honors  that  accrued  to  him  in  his  jxuish, 
community  and  diocese.  We  sorrowed  at  the  news  of  the 
death  of  his  beloved  wife  in  1979. 

Then,  one  September  morning,  the  mail  brought  an 
invitation:  "With  hapi)iness  and  joy.  Rev.  Francis  P. 
Kilcoyne  and  Xh.  and  Mrs.  August  Boita  invite  voii  to  the 
ordination  to  the  priesthciod  of  iIk  ir  hither  and  brother, 
Francis  P.  Kilcoyne,  Sr."  Our  surprise  and  jcjy  were  great. 
The  surprise  soon  disappeared,  the  joy  lingers.  The  same 
qualities  that  made  him  a  good  husband,  father,  brother, 
teacher,  c  iti/en  and  Ciatholic  would  make  hiiri  a  wonderful 
priest.  His  lifelong  si-r\ice  to  God  was  to  continue  on 
another  level. 

On  October  1,  golden  sunshine  filtered  through  the 
rainbow-hued  windows  of  St.  James  as  a  fanfare  of  horns 
and  trumpets  heralded  the  prcxession  of  bishops,  priests, 
biotheis,  sisters  and  lay  men  and  women.  Mr.  Kilcoyne 
tcx)k  his  place  beside  his  sister  in  the  front  row.  "The  Holy 
.Sacrifice"  began  to  the  accompaniment  of  the  melodic 
choir.  .After  the  (iosixl.  Mi.  KiIconuc-  w.i',  called  to  the 
altar,  and  pieseiited  by  his  son  to  Bishcjp  Mugavero.  The 
Giitfiedral  ec  hcK'd  the  Ix'autiful  promises  of  the  priesthcxxi, 
and  now ,  at  age  78,  Francis  P.  Kilcoyne  was  continuing 
his  life  as  Falliei  KilcoMie.  ,\  raree\CTit  indeed!  He  is  the 
only  man  in  the  Diocese  ol  Brooklyn,  with  the  express 


A 

Rare 
Event 


permission  of  Pope  John  Paul,  to  be  ordained  a  priest 
without  any  formal  seminary  training. 

The  new  priest  was  clothed  by  his  son  ni  vestments 
lovingly  made  by  twcj  women  of  his  parish.  Our  Lady  of 
Riluge.  His  hands  were  anointed  by  the  Bishop,  and  he 
was  embrac  ed  by  fifty  or  sixty  of  his  brother  priests.  I  was 
among  those  privileged  to  receive  Communion  from  his 
newly  anointed  hands.  I  cannot  begin  todesc  ribe  thedeep 
emotion  I  felt  when  he  said.  "BcKly  o(  (;hrist,  Catherine. 
God  love  you.  "  Throughout  the  entire  liturgy,  the 
congregation  was  deeply  moved,  on  occasion  to  sfxjn- 
tanecjus  applause,  and  then  to  elociuent  silence. 

I  was  very  happy  to  hear  Sr.  John  Baptist  Hull  share  in 
the  reading  of  the  Word,  toseeSister  A!  ice  Frances  Young 
lake  part  in  the  Presentation  of  Gifts,  and  to  recognize 
many  other  Sisters  of  Saint  Joseph  in  the  congregation.  In 
his  Mass  of  Thanksgiving  Father  Kilcoyne  made  special 
mention  of  his  gratitude  to  the  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph,  a 
sentiment  echoed  in  the  hearts  of  many  present. 

On  the  beautiful  Sunday  morning  of  October  5,  Father 
Kilcoyne  offered  a  Mass  of  Thanksgiving  in  the  church  of 
Our  Lady  of  Refuge,  the  parish  which  he  has  served  so 
long  and  well,  and  whic  h  he  will  continue  to  serve.  With 
his  son  beside  him,  and  in  the  presence  of  many  priests, 
brothers,  sisters,  family  and  friends,  he  offered  the  Holy 
sacrifice  for  the  first  time,  sharing  his  joy  with  his  parish. 
His  son  delivered  a  most  inspiring  homily  on  the 
priesthood.  At  the  cone  lusion,  the  new  Father  Kilcoyne 
thanked  all  who  had  helped  him  to  realize  this  day:  the 
Bishop,  priests,  religious,  family  and  friends  and  expressed 
his  loving  gratitude  to  his  parents,  son,  sister,  brother-in- 
law,  and  his  beloved  wife,  Eleanor,  whom  he  had  married 
at  this  \er\  altar.  He  laughingly  remarked  that  Father 
Kilcoyne,  Senior,  was  junior  to  his  son  in  the  priesthood. 

At  the  hospitable  reception  in  the  school  hall,  we  were 
all  blessed  by  the  new  Father  Kilcoyne.  We  fell  that  we  had 
spent  a  week-end  pretty  close  to  heaven,  and  that  if  Mr. 
Kilcoyne  was  not  a  saint  when  he  sent  that  greeting  card, 
he  had  made  considerable  progress  in  the  intervening 
years! 

Wejoin  with  all  themembersofourSt.  Joseph's  family 
in  a  prayer  of  thanksgiving  for  the  newest  priest  in  our 
diocese.  Father  Francis  P.  Kilcoyne,  and  in  wishing  him 
every  blessing  as  he  continues  his  life  of  devotion  to  Gcxi, 
countiy  and  fellow-man. 

Catherine  Therese  Cooke,  1934 


Letter  From  Moscouj 


When  I  left  St.  Joseph's,  sixteen  years  ago,  I  never 
anticipated  that  the  year  1980  would  find  me  living  in 
Russia.  I  doubted  that  I  would  ever  leave  New  York. 
Fortunately,  life  has  provided  far  more  stimulation  than  I 
ever  imagined. 

In  June  1980,  my  husband,  daughters  and  I  arrived  in 
Moscow  for  a  two  year  assignment  with  the  U.S.  Embassy. 
Don  is  the  Assistant  Army  Attache  and  I  am  the 
Community  Mental  Health  Prograiri  Director.  Sharon 
and  Kristin  attend  the  7th  and  4th  grades  at  the  Anglo- 
American  School.  Don  has  been  a  Russian  Area  Specialist 
for  many  years  now  and  languages  seem  to  come  easily  to 
him.  I  am  not  as  gifted  and  although  I  can  read  the  Cyrillic 
alphabet,  my  four  months  of  study  only  enable  me  to 
speak  the  essential  survival  phrases. 

We  live  in  a  9th  floor  apartment  in  one  of  several 
buildings  reserved  for  foreigners — diplomats,  businessmen 
and  correspondents.  Like  many  Moscow  apartment 
houses,  ours  looks  like  a  block-long  tenement.  There  is  no 
play  whatsoever  for  the  fifty  children  who  live  here.  Most 
of  our  neighbors  are  from  the  Third  World,  but  there  are 
two  other  American  families  in  our  stairwell. 

There  is  a  guard  shack  in  the  parking  lot  manned  24 
hours  a  day  by  one  of  several  Russian  militiamen.  Their 
job  is  to  keep  tabs  on  us  and  also  to  keep  Russians  from 
having  contact  with  us.  We  face  one  of  the  main  avenues  of 
the  city  and  look  down  on  eight  lanes  of  traffic.  The  center 
lane  in  each  direction  is  reserved  for  party  officials  who 
whiz  along  at  speeds  up  to  70  MPH  while  the  rest  of  the 
traffic  is  limited  to  40  MPH.  The  number  of  private 
automobiles  grows  each  year  in  spite  of  the  long  waiting 
list  to  buy  a  car. 

Like  most  large  cities,  there  is  nun  h  congestuin, 
pollution  and  traffic  snarls.  Moscow  is  far  more  dirty  and 
primitive  than  most  other  capital  cities,  however.  Standards 
of  workmanship  are  appallingly  low.  Frequently,  the 
walls  and  floors  of  buildings  do  not  meet,  pipes  are  left 
exposed  and  concrete  cruiribles.  Many  construction  workers 
are  women  between  40  and  60  years  old.  One  has  to  wonder 
whether  there  are  any  incentives  for  performing  a  job  well. 

Surprisingly  for  a  society  which  claims  to  ha\e  "(idl 
employment"  the  streets  are  jammed  all  day  and  half  the 
night  with  citizens  searching  for  food  and  other  goods  to 
buy.  Every  adult  seems  tocarry  a  "maybe"  bag.  Maybe  you 
might  pass  a  store  where  they  will  have  cucumbers  or 
oranges  and  if  you  have  your  maybe  bag  and  can  wait  on 
the  long  queue,  you  can  carry  them  home  in  your  bag. 
Many  jobs  appear  to  be  part-time  so  that  two  or  three 
people  are  actually  filling  one  job.  This  is  one  way  of 
spreading  employment.  The  other  way,  of  course,  is  to  put 
people  on  the  public  payroll.  The  Soviets  accomplish  this 
by  putting  people  in  uniform  either  as  militiatnen, 
soldiers  or  as  citizen  patrols.  There  is  a  mililiamair  on 
almost  every  street  corner.  Six  of  them  patrol  the  entrance 
to  the  American  Embassy.  Instead  of  being  there  to  protect 
us,  they  are  there  to  intimidate  Russians  who  may  try  to 
enter  to  seek  permission  to  emigrate,  and  occasionally 
they  hassle  us. 

There  are  no  commercial  billboards  or  advertising. 
Rather,  party  slogans,  political  monuments  and  portraits 
of  Lenin  are  everywhere.  We  very  iriuch  miss  haviirg  free 
access  to  information  and  news.  Radio  Moscow  broadcasts 
over  all  other  transmissions  including  Voice  of  America, 


so  that  it  is  the  only  station  that  can  be  received.  It  offers  a 
few  hours  of  music  each  day  in  between  political 
commentary  and  a  very  slanted  version  of  the  news. 
Foreign  events  are  reported  in  such  a  way  that  it  appears  as 
if  the  I'nited  States,  the  Western  Allies  and  China  were 
poised  and  ready  for  attack  on  al  I  of  Russia's  borders.  The 
riots  in  Miami  were  reported  as  if  they  were  still  continuing 
a  full  month  after  they  had  actually  stopped.  Newscasters 
also  report  that  Russian  troops  were  invited  into  Afghani- 
stan to  protect  that  country  from  the  I'.S.,  China  and  Iran! 
In  June,  the  Russian  media  reported  that  they  had 
c\idence  that  the  U.S.  was  behind  efforts  to  poison 
children's  milk  in  Afghanistan. 

,\11  Russians  must  carry  internal  passports  and  all 
diplomats  and  their  families  must  carry  diplomatic  cards. 
We  are  denied  access  to  entire  cities  and  regions  of  the 
USSR.  We  cannot  travel  freely  and  must  submit  a  travel 
note  request  at  least  48  hours  in  advance  of  each  trip,  even 
for  a  picnic  outside  the  city  limits.  Often  permission  will 
be  denied.  Recently,  my  husband  was  refused  permission 
to  visit  a  certain  city  because  "all  of  the  hotels  in  that  city 
are  full".  During  the  Olympics,  Moscow  was  closed  to  all 
Russians  except  Most  ow  residents,  and  many  old  people, 
alcoholics  and  children  were  sent  out  of  the  city  to 
"camps". 

Also,  during  the  Olympics,  the  city  was  overcon trolled 
by  several  hundred  thousand  troops  and  militia  brought 
in  to  keep  tourists  and  citizens  in  line.  The  city  had 
benefitted  from  a  massive  face-cleaning  prior  to  the 
opening  of  the  games.  Stores  were  suddenly  well  stocked, 
but  food  became  scarce  again  as  soon  as  the  games  ended. 

How  does  our  dailv  life  here  differ  from  life  in  the  U.S.? 
Cetting  enough  food  for  our  family  is  difficult.  Pood  is 
scarce  and  very  expensive  even  though  we  have  privileges 
that  the  average  Russian  does  not.  We  planned  for  and 
purchased  a  two-year  supply  of  canned  goods  prior  to 
lea\ing  the  Stales.  We  are  also  allowed  by  the  Russian 
government  to  shop  in  a  special  "hard  currency"  fcx)d 
store.  I  pay  3  rubles  ($4.50)  for  one  pound  of  ground  meat, 
SI. 00  per  liter  for  Finnish  milk  and  $3.50  ior  a  bottle  of 
liquid.  On  the  few  occasions  when  fresh  produce  is 
a\ailable.  I  have  paid  S3.90  for  8  oranges  and  SI  .00  for  a 
tomato.  In  fairness.  I  ha\e  to  mention  that  Russian  bread 
which  is  subsidized,  is  plentiful,  delicious  and 
inexpensive —  40<r  -60<r  per  loaf. 

There  are  two  state  run  food  stores  on  my  block,  each  as 
large  as  a  small  NYC  supermarket.  Frequenih  ilu\  will 
only  ha\e  a  few  different  food  items  for  sale:  bottled  juice, 
jars  of  tomato  sauce  from  Bulgaria,  tins  of  fish,  cabbage 
and  potatoes.  Lines  spring  up  if  someone  spots  a  few 
cucumbers  or  mushrooms,  or  as  fate  smiled  on  us  during 
the  Olympics,  a  few  crates  of  bananas. 

We  boil  our  drinking  water  to  protect  us  against 
intestinal  parasites.  This  requires  a  fair  amount  of  time 
each  day,  since  this  includes  water  for  drinking,  icecubes, 
juices,  etc.  Our  water  is  frequently  and  inexplicably 
turned  off  for  hours  at  a  time.  At  the  end  of  every  summer, 
the  hot  water  is  shut  off  for  three  weeks  on  a  distric  t-wide 
basis  around  the  city  while  the  pipes  are  flushed.  We  were 
without  hot  water  from  August  5th  to  .\ugust  21  st  of  this 
year.

Doctor 
Cecelia  Trunz 

Dies 


Wlicn  Dr.  Cecilia  Trunz  died  on  August  31  si,  the  Class 
o(  '27  lost  a  beloved  classmate,  a  true  friend  and  a 
marvelous  inspiration.  The  College  lost  a  past  teacher,  a 
friend  and  l>enefactor  and  a  very  illustrious  alumna. 

Cecilia  A.  Trunz  was  born  on  February  14,  1  •)()()  in 
Brooklyn,  the  second  of  three  children  of  Maximilian 
and  Amalie  (Herold)  Trunz.  Her  father  began  a  butcher

Inc.  with  a  manufacturing  plant  and  sixty  stores  by  19.50. 

Cele  attended  St.  Ciecilia's  grammar  schcjol  and  .Si. 
Agnes  Seminary.  During  this  time  she  was  active  in  lier 
father's  business,  working  as  a  cashier  at  the  age  of  ten.  She 
earned  a  B.A.  degree  from  St.  Joseph's  with  a  major  in 
Matheinatics  and  minors  in  Education  and  History.  In 
1930  she  received  her  Master's  degree  in  Cierman  Literature

Dr.  Frun/  was  professcjr  of  German  for  20  years  at  St. 
Joseph's  C^ollege  and  was  head  of  the  Modem  Language 
Department  from  1940  lintil  1950.  At  thai  time  she  moved 
toMillerton  to  manage  and  operate 'Frunlan,  her  parents' 
t)80  acre  dairy  farm.  She  had  already  prepared  herself  for 
this  work,  participating  m  home  study  courses  from  the 
Meat  Institute  in  Chicago  and  studying  accounting  at  St. 
John's  University  for  two  years.  When  she  arrived  in 
Millerton,  Cele  enrolled  in  home  study  courses  in  animal 
husbandry  Irom  Cornell  lUiiversity.  .Vfter  more-  ihan  a 
decade,  (ic  le  sold  ihe  larm  in  1966,  and  moved  into  the 
village  of  Millerton. 

File  following  year,  Cele  Friiiiz  was  elected  a  town

holding  that  office  from  1968  lo  1971.  Once  more  C^eie

She  was  active  in  the  business  as  Directc)r  and  Vice

back  lo  Millerton. 

Fhrougliout  her  years  in  Millerion,  Cele  taught  c  lasses

Dr.  Cecilia  /I.  J'tuiiz  '27 

National  Catholic  Philosophical  Association,  Catholic 
Lawyers  (iuild  cjf  Brocjklyn  and  Association  of  German 
Teachers.  She  has  lectured  on  Germany  and  Its  Culture  for 
Modern  C^atholic  Women  and  has  spoken  at  various 
commencement  exercises. 

Cele  was  listed  in  the  following:  Who's  Who  in  the  East; 
Who's  Who  of  American  Women;  The  World's  IVho's 
Who  of  Women;  Dictionary  of  International  Biography; 
Community  Leaders  and  Noteworthy  Americans  andOne 
Thousand  Women  of  Achiei>ement. 

Many  of  her  c  lassmaies  have  written  beautifully  of  her, 
one  saying  "she  mothered  me  all  through  college" — 
indeed,  she  mothered  us  all.  She  began  her  teaching  career 
informally  during  her  undergraduate  days  by  giving  us 
frecjuent  "corridor  coachings"  in  German  vocabulary. 

At  her  funeral  Mass  in  St.  Patrick's  in  Millerton  her 
pastor,  Mons.  Joseph  Gallagher,  compared  her  to  Mr. 
Chips —  with  countless  pupils  being  "her  children".  He 
told  of  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  London,  which  is  a  memorial 
to  its  arc  hitect.  Sir  Christopher  Wren,  and  said  that  Ole 
had  been  responsible  for  nearly  everything  we  saw  in  the 
Church  we  were  in. 

Two  other  eulogies  were  given — one  by  Mons.  James 
Asip  representing  the  Brooklyn  Diocese  and  one  by  Father 
Thomas  Reardon  representing  the  New  York  Dicxese. 
Both  spoke  of  her  untiring  devotion  and  her  endless 
generosity,  theextcnt  of  which  wecan  only  guess.  She  was 
buried  in  the  little  churchyard  in  Millerton. 

Our  last  class  reunion  with  Cele  was  in  1977  when,  in 
spite  of  severe  arthritis,  she  delighted  us  by  joining  us  for 
our  Golden  Jubilee  celebration.  She  also  gladdened  the 
hearts  of  her  former  students  who  gave  her  a  very  sp)ecial 
recepticjii. 

In  looking  back,  it  does  seem  that  her  entire  life  was 
devoted  to  helping  others — and  toward  the  end  of  it,  she 
united  her  intense  suffering  with  that  of  her  beloved  Lord. 

And  so — J'ale.  dear  Ole,  be  happy  in  your  well-earned 
Heaven — and  once  in  a  while  please  mention  us  to  the 
Lord.

Lucky  Day 


Receives  Catholic 
University  Award 


Joseph  b.ii~  i:< 

Joseph  Batchelor  considers  it  his  lucky  day  when  a 
mutual  friend  introduced  him  to  Wallace  Peace,  Director 
of  Student  Services  of  General  Studies  of  St.  Joseph's 
College.  They  both  love  classical  music  and  they  attended 
operas  and  concerts  together.  Through  Wallace's  per- 
suasion, Joe  matriculated  at  St.  Joseph's  in  1977.  Mr. 
Peace  assessed  his  previous  college  experience,  his  years  of 
work  in  various  fields,  and  they  discussed  the  prescribed 
courses  needed  for  a  bachelor's  degree.  Joe  devoted  a  year 
of  intensive  study  at  SJC  to  earn  the  credits,  and  he 
received  a  BS  in  Public  Administration  in  1978. 

Born  and  raised  in  Manhattan,  Joseph  Batchelor 
attended  public  schools  and  stiuted  work  at  16.  .After  high 
school  he  enrolled  in  City  College  as  a  day  student 
working  evenings  in  Carnegie  Hall.  Later  he  worked  only 
on  weekends,  full-time,  in  the  Admitting  Office  of 
Lebanon  Hospital,  Bronx,  and  continued  his  education 
during  the  day  at  NYU,  where  his  interest  was  in  math  and 
science. 

From  1954  to  1956  Joe  served  in  the  .\rmy  in  Fort  Dix. 
When  released,  he  returned  to  Lebanon  hospital  for  full 
day-time  work  and  to  NYT'  in  the  evenings.  However, 
seeing  no  future  there,  he  soon  left  Lebanon,  and  also 
stopped  attendance  at  evening  school.  He  held  other  jobs 
as  Personnel  Consultant,  Office  Manager  and  he  served  in 
the  Domestic  Peace  Corps  as  Dean  of  Men  in  the  Anti- 
Poverty  Program  where  he  coordinated  programs  for 
personnel  who  came  from  all  over  the  country  and  who 
were  trained  and  sent  out  to  depressed  areas,  many  to  serve 
in  Central  Harlem  in  various  programs.  He  also  tutored 
English  in  evening  classes  of  the  Adult  Extension  Divison 
of  New  Rochelle  College. 

Joseph  started  to  work  for  the  Board  of  Education  in 
1969  and  was  a  provisional  employee  until  last  year.  It  was 
a  dead-end  position  with  no  raise  and  no  promotion.  Joe 
"blames"  St.  Joseph's  College  for  changing  all  that.  His 
degree  qualified  him  to  take  a  test  for  Systeins  .\nalyst  and 
he  scored  extreiriely  well.  He  received  permanent  employee 
status  and  was  called  to  work  at  the  Central  Office.  He  will 
be  a  systems  analyst  and  take  more  intensive  training  for 
the  position.  Already  familiar  with  much  of  the  work 
involved,  Joe  looks  fonvard  to  being  part  of  the  develop- 
ment of  the  Department  of  Education's  Systems  Organi- 
zation.

With  the  exception  of  a  year  of  graduate  studies  at 
Catholic  U.,  Dorothy  worked  for  Catholic  Charities  in 
Manhattan  until  she  married  Charles  Daly  in  1940.  They

Office  of  the  Under  Secretary.  She  received  HEW's 
Superior  Service  Award  for  her  role  in  the  production  of 
the  report  Closing  the  Gap  m  Social  IVork  Education, 
which  led  to  the  passage  of  a  new  section  of  the  Social 
Security  Act,  authorizing  S15  million  to  develop  new 
schools  of  social  work  and  to  expand  existing  ones. 

Dorothy  was  professor  and  dean  at  Catholic  U.  from 
1968  to  1974.  She  retired  as  dean  of  the  National  Catholic 
School  of  Social  Service  in  1974,  continued  to  teach  until 
1976,  and  then  returned  to  HEW  to  head  the  social  work 
education  program  under  Title  XX.  Dorothy  has  been 
president  of  the  Council  on  Social  Work  Education  and 
associate  director  for  .Social  Services  at  the  National 
Conference  of  Catholic  Charities  since  1978.  She  served 
two  terms  as  president  of  the  National  Conference  of 
Catholic  Charities  and  has  been  a  board  member  of  that 
group  and  of  the  C^ouncil  on  Social  Work  Education. 

Her  sister,  Mary  Bird,  was  a  member  of  the  Class  of  1928 
and  was  Principal  of  a  New  York  City  elementary  school 
in  Queens.  Mary  died  in  1967. 


Mary  Phelan  Retires 


Mary  Whelan  Phelan  '32 

Mary  Whelan  Phelan  '32,  retired  last  August  from  her 
part-time  position  as  Alumni  Fund  Secretary,  which  she 
began  in  1967. 

As  such,  she  received,  recorded,  depKJsited,  processed 
and  acknowledged  the  gifts  you  so  faithfully  contribute 
each  year  to  Alumni  Fund.  Being  very  busy  meant  the 
fund  was  growing,  so  she  tolerated  the  many  hectic  days 
the  job  generated. 

Early  this  year,  Mary  surprised  us  with  the  announce- 
ment of  her  pending  marriage  to  William  Phelan  which 
took  place  in  May.  .She  also  announced  that  she  would 
retire  in  August,  after  the  1980  fund  report  was  finished, 
proof-read  and  ready  for  the  printer!  She  never  did  things 
half-way. 

The  Alumni  and  Development  offices  miss  Mary 
Whelan  Phelan— her  cheerfulness,  her  sense  of  humor, 
her  patience,  her  kindness,  her  dedication.  We  wish  her 
many  happy  years.

Sister  Isolina  Ferre  '59 

Sister  Isolina  Ferre  '59  has  received  two  significant 
honors  this  year.  In  July  she  was  selected  to  be  one  of  the 
delegates  from  the  U.S.  to  the  World  Conference  of  the 
I'nited  Nations  on  the  Decade  for  Women.  In  November, 
she  was  named  winner  of  the  SI 0,000  Rockefeller  Public 
Service  Award  for  revitalizing  communities  and  neigh- 
borhoods. 

The  story  of  Sister  Isolina's  activities  froin  the  lime  she 
left  St.  Joseph's,  her  years  of  work  in  La  Playa,  where  she 
brought  an  impoverished  Puerto  Rican  barrio  to  life  and 
helped  its  people  to  help  themselves,  was  published  in  the 
Winter  1975-76  Alumnagram.  Of  this  work,  social  critic 
Charles  Silberman,  in  his  book  Criminal  Violence, 
Criminal  Justice,  called  the  Center  at  Ponce  Playa  "the 
best  example  of  regeneration"  that  he  had  seen  in  the 
United  States.  He  wrote,  "El  Centro's  greatest  contri- 
bution has  been  its  most  subtle:  it  has  given  large  numbers 
of  people  the  sense  of  dignity  and  worth  that  enables  them 
to  accept  help — to  use  help  as  a  means  toward  self- 
sufficiency  rather  than  dependency.  For  help  comes  .  .  . 
as  a  result  of  their  own  efforts,  rather  than  through 
charity." 

Sister  Isolina  is  a  member  of  the  American  Society  of 
Criminology  and  has  presented  a  number  of  papers  on 
deliquency  prevention  at  the  association's  annual 
meetings. 

A  World  Delegate 

Sister  Isolina,  now  Executive  Director  of  the  Dispensario 
San  Antonio  in  Puerto  Rico  was  chosen  as  one  of  the  37 
delegates  from  the  United  States  to  the  Conference  in 
Copenhagen,  where  2,300  delegates  from  152  countries 
convened  from  July  14  to  30,  1980. 

In  remarks  delivered  at  the  Conference,  Sister  expressed 
her  hopes  and  ideals: 

Being  elected  as  a  U.S.  delegate  to  the  Conference  in 
Copenhagen  in  the  Decade  of  ihe  Woman  was  a  pleasant 
surprise  for  me,  and  a  significant  experience  in  my  life. 
The  members  of  out  delegation  represent  the  diverse 
interests  and  activities  in  the  li\es  of  women.  I  have  been 
most  proud  to  be  a  religious  and  a  Puerto  Rican,  and  to 
work  and  live  in  a  community  of  disadvantaged  persons. 


Doubly 
Honored 


The  great  goals  to  which  we  aspire  have  given  us  the 
strength  to  struggle  with  the  frustrations  of  international 
politics  but  I  believe  the  meeting  of  people  from  so  many 
nations  and  the  exchange  of  ideas  wdl  continue  to  help 
us  toward  the  three  objectives  of  the  Decade  for  Women: 
equality,  development  and  peace.  In  the  words  of  the 
Honorable  Sarah  Waddington.  President  of  our  delega- 
tion, "We  are  convinced  that  the  rest  of  the  decade  should 
pave  the  way  for  The  Century  of  Peace."  a  century  that 
will  assure  equality  among  all  people."  But  we  must  do 
more  than  demand,  seek  out.  and  pray  for  peace.  We 
ourselves  must  (onstruct  peace,  step  by  patient  step. 
There  is  a  song  in  my  country  itial  begins,  "Let  there  be 
peace  on  eartli  and  let  it  begin  with  me  .  .  ."  Our 
conference  will  ha\e  Ixen  an  even  greater  success  if  we 
put  so  noble  a  sentiment  mto  practice  .  .  .  here  and  now 
in  Copenhagen.  We  shall  demonstrate  to  the  world  in 
our  deliberations  our  will  to  work  in  a  spirit  of 
compromise,  to  arrive  peacefully  at  agreements  based  on 
principle,  and  to  respect  honest  differences  of  opinion. 
Let  there  be  peace  on  earth  and  let  it  begin  with  us. 

In  her  report  on  the  conference  published  in  El  Playero, 
the  official  magazine  of  Central  de  Orientation  y  Services 
Playa,  in  Ponce,  Sr.  Isolina  summed  up  some  of  the 
concerns  of  womankind  in  today's  world  which  were 
discussed  at  the  conference:  illiterat-y.  discriiriination  in 
educational  opportunities  in  inany  countries,  the  need 
for  greater  health  facilities  and  personnel  in  various  areas 
throughout  the  world  and  the  inequities  in  employment 
opportunities  and  practices  worldwide. 

However,  before  the  conference  convened,  there  was 
anxiety  among  some  delegates  that  its  noble  goals  would 
be  overshadowed  by  political  hostilities.  There  were  many 
women  whose  expertise  lay  in  pushing  political  interests. 
Asa  result,  these  interests  often  dominated  the  conference. 
Rules  and  piotocol  were  abused,  workshops  subverted, 
walkouts  staged.  Anti-Western  sentiments  were  obvious. 
Women's  issues  of  sisterly  concern,  Sarah  Waddington 
complained,  "were  pushed  aside  and  became  victims  of 
those  who  chose  instead  to  focus  on  the  political  polemics 
of  the  Middle  East  situation." 

Nevertheless,  the  majority  of  the  delegates  signed  a 
document  urging  the  elimination  of  every  kind  of 
discrimination  against  women,  stating  that:  "The 
coinplete  development  of  nations,  the  well-being  of  the 
world,  and  the  cause  of  peace  require  the  full  participation 
of  women  on  terms  equal  with  men  in  every  field." 


Marjorie  Parker  Smith  '37 
on  Opening  Day  at  Rockfeller  Center  Rink 

During  her  performance  at  Rockefeller  Ice  Skating 
Rink  in  October  1980.  Marjorie  Parker  Smith  '37,  recalled 
the  one  and  only  other  time  she  skated  there.  It  was  on  the 
opening  day  of  the  rink  in  1933.  Marge  was  among  those 
skaters  from  the  New  York  Skating  Club  who  had  been 
asked  to  perform  on  that  special  occasion. 

This  year  the  United  Hospital  Fund  asked  the  Club  to 
put  on  an  exhibition  to  kick  off  their  Annual  Hospital 
Week.  Marjorie  had  only  lately  returned  to  the  club  after 
an  absence  of  twenty  years,  but  she  was  asked  by  Charles 
Rizzo,  a  professional,  if  she  would  be  his  partner  in  a  pairs 
dance.  Always  one  to  serve  a  good  cause,  yet  with  some 
misgivings,  she  consented.  With  much  practice,  the 
movements  and  skill  of  former  years  came  back  and  she 
was  in  good  form.  John  Gambling,  who  was  Master  of 
Ceremonies  at  the  skating  exhibition,  announced  that 
Marge,  who  was  the  first  National  Dance  Champion 
winner  for  pairs  dancing  in  1937.  was  on  the  ice  today  with 
this  year's  winning  (ouple. 

When  she  was  thirteen,  Margie  was  given  a  pass  to  the 
Brooklyn  Ice  Palace,  but  had  no  skates.  A  Norwegian 
woman,  friend  of  the  family,  lent  her  a  pair  which  were 
excellent  figure  skates.  She  was  unaware  of  their  quality 
but  it  wasn't  long  before  she  was  imitating  the  best  figme 
skaters  at  the  rink.  A  professional  skater  who  observed  her 
aptitude  asked  her  if  she  would  practice  pair  dancing  with 
him.  He  was  to  be  in  a  show  and  his  partner  was  not 
always  available.  In  this  way  she  became  skilled  in  the 
movements  and  intricacies  of  dancing  on  ice.

Marjorie  Smith  and  Charles  Rizzo 
skating  in  Benefit  performance 

Classmates  at  St.  Joseph's  will  remember  Margie's 
participation  in  amateur  skating  competitions  throughout 
her  college  years.  She  performed  everything  in  the  dance 
line,  fours,  girls'  pairs,  mixed  pairs,  group  dancing,  and 
single  shows.  She  also  performed  in  the  New  York  Skating 
Club  Carnivals  in  Madison  Square  Garden  long  before 
professional  troups  were  formed.  All  services  were  donated 
for  charitable  causes. 

Marjorie  believes  that  ice  skating  is  a  sport  and 
enjoyment  for  all  ages.  She  credits  her  ability  to  return  to 
strenuous  dance  routines  to  the  fact  that  she  regularly 
works  out  at  Alex  and  Walter  Physical  Fitness  Studio  in 
Manhattan  under  her  son,  Christopher,  who  coaches 
there.  Chris  counts  among  his  clientele  many  prominent 
television  personalities,  business  executives,  blue  collar 
workers  and  family  groups  who  wish  to  keep  physically 
fit. 

The  United  Hospital  Fund  graciously  acknowledged 
Marjorie  Smith's  perfonnance  which  helped  to  generate 
interest  in  Hospital  Week  in  New  York  City. 


James  Gigliello  '78 

The  decision  to  drop  out  of  high  school  at  fourteen  was 
probably  the  easiest  one  I've  ever  made.  I  didn't  hate 
school,  but  I  wasn't  learning  a  thing.  I  became  a  statistic  in 
1968;  one  of  a  growing  number  of  high  school  dropouts 
which  has  now  risen  to  almost  epidemic  proportions.  For 
one  reason  or  another,  be  it  peer  pressure  to  conform  and 
act  like  the  rest  (the  reason  I  left),  parental  neglect,  lack  of 
motivation,  or  what  have  you,  millions  of  teenagers 
literally  "dropped  out",  not  taking  into  consideration  the 
consequences  or  what  course  life  would  take  without  an 
education.  I  know,  because  I  didn't  care.  When  you're  so 
young,  the  only  thing  that  matters  is  the  present.  Reaching 
twenty-five  years  old  was  a  million  years  away — so  why 
worry  about  it? 

Most  people  have  misconceptions  about  dropouts.  We 
are  not  all  ignorant,  nor  have  we  caused  trouble  and  been 
forced  to  leave.  In  many  instances,  teenagers  are  afraid  of 
what  they  see  going  on  in  the  classrooms,  halls,  lavatories, 
stairwells,  and  schoolyard.  The  learning  exjaerience  of 
high  school  is  reduced  to  a  game  of  survival.  After  a  while 
of  this,  the  individual  gets  disgusted,  decides  to  quit,  and 
doesn't  give  it  a  second  thought. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  ones  who  are  causing  these 
problems  also  leave,  and  become  involved  in  crime,  drugs, 
and  gang  wars.  Living  in  a  ghetto,  I  can  attest  to  this  fact; 
seeing  many  teenagers  I  know  from  the  area  who  were 
shot,  stabbed,  murdered,  or  put  in  jail.  Almost  without 
exception,  they  were  those  trouble-makers  in  school. 

As  for  me,  high  school  was  a  lousy  experience.  Fighting 
in  the  class,  smelling  glue  in  the  empty  classrooms  and 
stairways;  but  the  worst  of  it  came  when  the  other  guys 
threatened  to  kill  me  if  I  didn't  start  acting  like  them. 
Appealing  to  the  principal  proved  fruitless.  It  didn't  leave 
me  with  much  of  a  choice,  did  it?  So  I  left;  not  caring  about 
my  future  or  anything  else. 


Lines 
From  A 
Dropout 


One  of  my  friends,  also  a  drop-out,  signed  up  with  a 
home  study  course.  After  enough  goading  from  him  and 
my  parents,  I  reluctantly  signed  up  too.  The  two  years  of 
teaching  myself  the  required  courses  for  college  paid  off.  I 
managed  to  maintain  my  grades  in  the  90's.  whereas  in 
high  school  I  received  60's  and  70's.  I  was  fortunate 
enough  to  have  my  parents  encourage  me  when  I  became 
discouraged.  In  1971,  the  year  I  would  have  graduated 
from  high  school,  the  home  study  course  was  completed. 
Dm  ing  that  summer,  I  took  the  S.A.T.  and  was  accepted 
into  .St.  Joseph's. 

Divine  guidance  must  have  put  Sr.  Irene  Veronica  in  my 
path.  At  that  time,  she  was  the  Admissions  Director.  I 
explained  to  sister,  during  the  interview,  my  "unusual" 
situation:  I  had  no  diploma  but  had  completed  a  home 
study  program.  Sr.  Irene  accepted  me,  relying  solely  on  her 
intuition.  Although  I  became  very  ill  and  was  forced  to 
drop  out  of  college  for  three  years,  I  always  knew  that  one 
day  I'd  be  back! 

In  the  summer  of  1975,  college  life  resumed  for  me,  and 
by  Deceinber  1977  I  completed  credits  for  a  B.A.  in 
Psychology,  an  undeclared  major  in  English,  and  the 
State  Education  Department  in  Albany  sent  me  my  high 
school  equivalency  diploma;  waiving  the  ten  hour  exam. 
Words  could  never  express  how  grateful  I  will  always  be  to 
Sister  Irene  for  giving  a  drop-out  one  more  chance  to  be 
somebody. 

At  that  point,  I  had  already  decided  to  dedicate  my 
career  in  helping  young  people  cope  with  the  numerous 
problems  and  difficulties  of  their  lives,  and  not  simply  to 
throw  away  the  most  important  gift  they  already 
possess — life! 

With  that  in  mind,  I  entered  St.  John's  University  and 
attained  my  Masters  of  Science  degree  in  Rehabilitation 
Counseling.  Presently,  I'm  at  St.  John's,  studying  for  my 
Professional  Diploma  in  Child  and  School  Psychology.  I 
hope  to  continue  for  my  Ph.D.  in  the  same  field. 

In  looking  back,  if  my  life  has  any  meaning  up  to  this 
point,  it  would  be  to  show  the  countless  other  drop-outs 
that  there  is  a  way  up  and  out.  It's  not  an  easy  road:  but 
then,  nothing  worthwhile  is.  Ultimately,  failure  is  not  the 
inability  to  achieve  success;  rather,  it  is  the  unwillingness 
to  try  for  fear  of  not  succeeding.

Dorothy  Kane  McCaffery 

First  Woman  to  Serve  on 
Labor  Relations  Board 


Dorothy  Kane  McCaffery  '39  who  was  Deputy  Commis- 
sioner of  Agriculture  in  Connecticut,  died  suddenly  last 
September  in  her  office  in  Hartford.  She  was  the  wife  of 
John  K.M.  McCaffery  who  taught  English  at  St.  Joseph's 
College  for  ten  years  starting  in  1938.  Mr.  McCaffery  was 
widely  known  for  his  1 1th  Hour  news  broadcasts. 

The  McCafferys  moved  to  Washington,  Connecticut  in 
1946  with  their  three  young  children.  Their  youngest 
child  was  born  in  Connecticut.  Dorothy  was  active  in 
town  affairs.  She  gained  her  first  major  position  in  state 
government  in  1955  when  she  was  appointed  to  the  Labor 
Relations  Board  by  Governor  Abraham  A.  Ribicoff.  She 
was  the  first  woman  ever  to  serve  in  Labor  Relations  in  the 
state  and  also  the  first  in  the  United  States.  She  served  for 
nearly  17  years.  In  1975,  Dorothy  was  named  executive 
assistant  to  the  State  Labor  Commissioner  and  two  years 
later  she  was  appointed  Deputy  Commissioner  of  the 
Department  of  Agriculture  by  Governor  Ella  T.  Grasso. 
She  emphasized  the  importance  of  farms  to  Connecticut's 
economy  and  environment. 

In  Washington  town  affairs  Dorothy  was  a  past 
president  of  the  Redevelopment  Commission,  a  member 
of  the  Conservation  Commission,  chairman  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Town  Committee,  a  member  of  the  Democratic 
State  Central  Committee,  the  Governor's  Clean  Water  and 
Clean  Air  Task  Forces,  and  the  Commission  on  the 
Reorganization  of  State  Government. 

In  addition  to  her  husband,  Dorothy  is  survived  by  four 
sons,  Richard  of  Greensville,  Ohio;  Peter  of  .Somer\ille, 
Mass.;  Sean  of  Los  Angeles;  Padraic  of  Litchfield,  and 
three  grandchildren. 


MINI  -  GRANT 


Last  Spring,  Jayne  Scansaroli  Lo  Porto  '77,  a  teacher  in 
P.S.  50  South  Jamaica,  saw  a  notice  on  the  school  bulletin 
board  regarding  Mini-Grants.  She  submitted  a  proposal 
entitled:  A  Multi-Sensory  Approach  to  Phonics.  To  her 
surprise  and  delight  she  was  granted  $2,600  to  spend  for 
the  implementation  of  the  program  in  her  classroom, 
where  she  has  been  teaching  neurologically  and  emo- 
tionally impaired  students  for  the  past  two  years.  Jayne 
used  the  money  for  materials,  books  and  equipment  for 
her  pupils,  and  now  has  the  best  equipped  classroom  in 
the  school.  Her  pupils  have  benefitted  and  their  parents 
are  pleased. 

In  September  1980,  Jayne  was  a  workshop  leader  at  the 
Annual  Special  Education  Conference  given  by  the 
Division  of  Special  Education,  Queens  Regional  Office. 
At  the  conference,  held  at  Queens  College,  she  spoke  on 
"Phonics  and  a  Creative  Approach  to  Reading."  Jayne 
holds  a  Master's  degree  in  Special  Ed  from  Fordham 
awarded  in  1979. 

Jayne's  husband,  Prank  Lo  Porto  '75,  is  enrolled  at 
Adelphi  University  for  a  Master's  in  Business  Adminis- 
tration. 


Loved  Alumna  Dies  on  West  Coast 


Loyalty  and  dedication  were  the  hallmarks  of  the  quiet, 
meaningful  life  of  Marion  Teaken,  '2-4.  She  was  highly 
important  to  a  wide  range  of  people.  Marion  was  gifted 
intellectually,  artistically  and  socially  and  she  shared  her 
talents  generously. 

She  entered  St.  Joseph's  on  a  Regents'  Scholarship  and 
maintained  honors  through  graduation.  As  an  alumna, 
she  was  elected  to  mcmber.ship  in  Delta  Sigma  Epsilon, 
the  national  honor  society.  Her  M.A.  was  earned  at 
Fordham  University. 

From  freshman  year  on,  drawings  and  artwork,  initialed 
M.E.T.  enhanced  yearbooks,  programs  and  favors.  Her 
dancing  skill  was  evidenced  in  solo  work  and  choreo- 
graphy for  plays,  especially  Shakespearean  performances 
and  Greek  Dramas. 


A  friend  was  important  and  her  friendships  were  deep 
and  long-lasting.  Her  circle  included  persons  from  every 
school  attended,  personnel  with  whom  she  worked  in  her 
teaching  career,  pupils  she  assisted  in  guidance  or 
financial  ways  and  people  of  the  art,  literary  and  mission 
worlds. 

For  years  Marion  taught  CX;D  and  helped  in  parish  and 
mission  activities.  She  was  devoted  to  her  family  and  was 
always  accessible  to  them.  St.  Joseph's  was  her  special  joy. 
Marion  always  attended  and  sup{X)rted  all  projects  with 
special  attention  to  the  Great  Books  Sessions. 

Although  Marion  had  been  ill  and  out  of  contact  with 
us  for  several  years,  the  tributes  and  love  shown  at  her 
death  attest  to  a  warm  vibrant  woman.  We  will  miss  her.

Donated 


Sr.  Joan  Ryan  receives  artifact  from 
Marjorie  Murphy  '29 

Marjorie  Murphy,  Class  of  '29,  visited  the  Local  History 
Center  of  Saint  Joseph's  College,  Patchogue  Campus,  on 
October  23,  1980.  Although  she  now  lives  in  Saxton's 
River,  Vermont,  Marjorie  makes  periodic  visits  to  Mount 
Sinai  on  Long  Island  where  she  spent  a  portion  of  her 
childhood. 

While  at  the  Patchogue  Campus,  Marjorie  donated  two 
books  to  the  newly  established  Local  History  Center.  Both 
volumes  are  the  work  of  her  deceased  brother,  Robert 
Cushman  Murphy,  former  head  of  the  Department  of 
Ornithology  at  the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History 
in  New  York.  In  addition  to  the  two  books,  Marjorie 
donated  an  artifact,  an  eighty  year  old  molasses  jug  used 
by  her  father  for  drinking  water  while  he  fished  off  Long 
Island's  north  shore. 

The  Local  History  Center  is  presently  showing  a 
photographic  exhibit  of  Sayville  and  Baypwrt.  We  welcome 
visits  from  members  of  the  alumni.  We  also  encourage 
donations  which  will  help  us  to  preserve  the  rich  history 
of  Nassau  and  Suffolk  Counties.  Please  think  of  us  before 
discarding  books,  periodicals,  pictures,  and  memorabilia 
of  Long  Island.  Contact  S.  Joan  Ryan  at  212-654-5723  for 
further  information  about  the  Center. 


MOSCOW  continued  from  page  4 

Because  of  the  representational  nature  of  my  husband's 
job  we  attend  frequent  diplomatic  receptions.  This  cuts 
into  family  time  which  we  have  learned  to  guard  jealously. 
We  try  to  schedule  at  least  one  family  special  event  each 
week,  whether  it  be  a  picnic,  tour  of  an  old  Russian 
Church,  ballet,  or  just  a  game  of  cards.  We  expect  to  ice 
skate  and  cross  country  ski  this  winter  as  we  would  do  if  we 
were  back  in  Virginia. 

We  have  a  subscription  to  an  English  language  news- 
paper published  in  Germany  which  comes  to  us  with  a 
3-day  delay.  We  also  get  the  Washington  Post  two  weeks 
later  than  stateside.  Mail  comes  in  and  goes  out  in  the 
diplomatic  pouches  twice  a  week.  So  you  can  imagine  our 
mail  day  is  eagerly  awaited.  It  takes  10  or  1 1  days  for  one  of 
our  letters  to  reach  the  U.S.  We  often  feel  as  if  we  are  in  a 
time  warp. 

Our  contacts  with  Russian  people  are  limited  by  factors 
beyond  our  control.  Most  of  my  experiences  with  indi- 
vidual people  have  been  positive.  My  impressions  of  the 
society  and  political  structure  are  that  there  is  much  more 
unity  of  purpose  and  expenditure  on  military  personnel 
and  weapons  than  I  ever  had  believed.  I  have  felt  limits  to 
my  personal  freedom  very  keenly  since  coming  here  and 
the  experience  has  been  painful  and  sobering.  Every  day 
the  newspapers  Pravda  and  Izvestia  describe  the  U.S.  as  an 
enemy  who  is  preparing  to  destroy  Russia.  Every  week, 
peopleare  sentenced  loexileor  to  "psychiatric"  treatment 
because  of  their  dissident  beliefs.  Soviet  families  con- 
tinually inquire  at  the  Embassy  about  the  possibility  of 
emigrating.  Two  years  ago,  seven  people  from  two 
Siberian  families  rushed  past  the  Russian  guards  into  the 
Embassy  courtyard  seeking  to  emigrate.  The  Soviets 
continue  to  deny  them  exit  visas  and  the  families  are  still 
living  in  a  cramped  basement  apartment  in  our  Embassy. 

As  some  of  you  or  your  friends  register  for  the  draft, 
threats  like  these  to  your  freedom  and  safety  seem  very 
remote.  Unfortunately  ,  threats  like  these  exist  even 
though  we  would  all  prefer  that  they  did  not.  We  cannot 
wish  them  away. 

Although  I  prefer  life  in  the  U.S.  to  living  anywhere 
else,  I  appreciate  the  opportunities  I  have  had  to  experience 
other  cultures.  If  any  of  you  are  interested  in  careers  in  the 
Service  or  military  area  studies  analyst  we  wish  you 
encouragement.

CLASS  NOTES 

Deadline  for  Summer  Issue:  April  25, 1981 
1921 


We  had  a  note  from  Helen  Campbell,  who  was  the  second 
president  of  the  Alumni  Association.  She  expresses  her  thanks  to 
the  college  family  for  prayers  during  her  illness  and  three  months' 
hospitalization  last  spring,  which  she  confidently  feels  contributed 
greatly  to  her  recovery,  Helen  lives  in  Washington,  D.C. 


1924 


On  September  third  Marlon  Teaken  died  in  Paso  Robles, 
California  She  was  one  of  the  solid  links  that  bind  together  in  love 
and  friendship  the  members  of  the  Class  of  1924,  During  the 
summer  George  and  Rita  Fearon  Bryan  attended  their  annual 
family  reunion  at  the  Redemptorist  Mission  House  at  Ephrata, 
Pennsylvania  They  flew  to  California  and  Colorado  to  visit  two  of 
their  sons  and  their  families.  Alice  McGrane  Feeley  and  her 
daughter,  Sister  Alice  Feeley,  toured  Canada  in  August.  Theresa 
Dolan  Janton  came  north  to  attend  a  grandson's  wedding  in  New 
Jersey  We  offer  our  sympathy  to  her  on  the  death  of  her  aunt  who 
lived  with  her  in  Florida.  Mary  St.  John  Murphy  attended  the 
second  conference  for  the  laity  on  Evangelization,  held  in 
Washington,  D.C.  this  past  summer  Christine  Gibson  Dougherty 
is  recuperating  very  nicely  after  more  eye  surgery.  Vincent  and 
Mildred  Hayes  Donohue  are  in  Ohio  visiting  their  son  and  his 
family.  In  October  we  attended  our  annual  Mass  offered  for  the 
repose  of  the  souls  of  our  beloved  deceased  members  and 
enjoyed  the  luncheon  afterwards.  Alice  McGrane  Feeley  and  Mary 
St.  John  Murphy  work  together  on  Happenings,  a  quarterly  issued 
by  Catholic  Charities  to  Golden  Age  Clubs  of  our  diocese.  I  am 
glad  to  say  that  all  of  us  keep  in  close  touch  with  one  another  and 
hopefully  will  meet  again  In  December.

Since  the  last  Issue  we  have  lost  two  very  wonderful  classmates, 
Cele  Trunz  and  Irene  Lavin,  and  we  are  much  poorer  for  the  loss. 
May  they  rest  In  peace.  When  th  is  writer  moved  to  New  Jersey  this 
summer  many  notes  were  received  and  many  had  bits  of  news. 
Claire  Plelnes  vacationed  in  Ogunquit  this  summer  .  Mary 
Cunningham  Mulcahy  and  Dan  are  still  enjoying  life  In  Crestwood 
and  welcomed  me  to  the  Garden  State  .  .  Dot  Rowland  and  John

is  not  very  exciting  but  she  makes  life  better  for  others— she 
makes  regular  visits  to  lonely  shut-ins  In  her  neighborhood.  Her 
sister  lives  In  North  Adams.  Mass.  and  she  gets  to  see  her  two  or 
three  times  a  year  .  .  .  Miriam  Cleary  McNeill  and  Arthur  had  a 
delightful  September  vacation  In  Palm  Beach,  Emma  Bergen  is 
singing  the  praises  of  Catsklll,  NY  where  she  spent  a  happy  two 
weeks  Lalla  Rowan  Morris  sent  good  news  about  Tommy's 
great  improvement.  He  Is  now  well  enough  to  go  out  walking  with 
her  and  to  go  out  to  lunch  once  in  a  while— "all  due  to  prayer". 
And,  judging  from  all  the  vis.ts  they  enjoy  from  all  the  Rowans  and 
Morrlsses,  Hanover  cannot  be  too  far  away.  It  just  seems  far  .  .  . 
Katharine  Normile  Mylod  and  Charlie  have  received  word  from 
son,  Robert,  that  he  is  now  on  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Detroit 
Symphony.  All  other  children  and  thirty-three  grandchildren  are 
doing  many  things  and  doing  them  well  .  .  .  Eileen  McNamara  Is

more  news.  God  bless  you

Europe  this  past  summer    Margaret  also  suggests  a   "mini- 


reunion"  sometime  in  the  city— anyone  interested''  Perhaps  we 
should  also  start  looking  forward  to  our  50th  and  thinking  of  some 
plans  for  our  golden  lubilee.  It's  coming  faster  than  we  thinki  .  .  . 
Kathleen  (Ceedie)  David  has  news  of  several  of  our  classmates. 
Muriel  Steinbrecher  Moody  and  her  husband,  John  keep  busy  in 
their  retirement.  When  they  are  not  having  family  reunions  at  their

daughters  and  one  son,  taking  trips  to  San  Diego,  Hawaii, 
Rochester,  New  York,  and  Florida  .  Jo  Ford  Scanlon  is  still  very

ments as  teachers  in  Catholic  University  in  Puerto  Rico  She  has 
heard  from  them  frequently  since  then;  both  write  of  the  many 
changes  in  Ponce  since  their  prior  assignments  several  years 
ago  Sister  Ann  Loyola  (Mary  Dwyer  '32)  also  is  in  touch  with 
Ceedie  from  her  residence  at  St.  Francis  Home  in  Tampa.  She  was 
on  a  brief  vacation  in  Virginia;  she  is  also  "brushing  up"  on  her 
liturgical  music,  as  she  is  the  organist  for  the  residents  and  the

In  October,  Catherine  Cooke,  with  her  sister  and  brother-in- 
law,  Mary  and  Jerry  Shea,  visited  Sr.  Eucharia  (Rita  Dougherty)  in 
Terryville,  Conn.  Rita  and  three  companions  live  in  a  lovely  white 
house,  one  of  many  built  by  Mr.  Terry  for  whom  the  town  was 
named.  The  townspeople  gave  the  sisters  a  gala  reception.  The 
sisters  do  social  service  and  catechetical  work,  volunteer  in  the 
library  and  teach  remedial  reading  Sr.  Eucharia  lived  in  California 
for  32  years  in  Maryknoll  Missions.  She  was  15  years  in  Guadalupe 
where  Catherine,  Mary  and  Jerry  often  visited  All  three  became 
god-parents  to  Mexican  children  there.  Catherine's  namesake  is  a 
junior  in  high  school.  The  group  usually  would  visit  Lee  and 
Gertrude  Roberts  Delworth  '23  who  live  nearby  in  Lompoc.  Sr. 
David  Xavier  and  Anne  Connolly  Burns  visited  Catherine  recently. 
In  Brentwood,  Catherine  met  Sister  Clare  Imelda  Ruane  and 
Beverly  Moran  originally  a  member  of  1934.  Sister  James  Cecelia 
(Mary  Cullen)  is  now  in  Puerto  Rico.  Al  and  Dolores  Ansbro 
Gerathy  had  a  hectic  week  during  the  big  apple  marathon.  Their 
son,  an  Air  Force  dentist,  and  a  group  of  friends  came  to  New  York 
to  run  in  the  great  event  and  stayed  with  them .  After  other  feverish 
activities,  they  took  off  for  their  Indiana  base,  leaving  Al  and 
Dolores  to  recover'  Gina  Latorraca  and  her  sister  Mary  vacationed 
in  the  Canadian  Rockies,  an  area  they  love.  Eucharia  Mulligan 
took  a  Fall  bus  tour  to  New  Orleans  and  fully  enjoyed  the 
countryside  in  Autumn.  Marie  Lilly  and  her  cousin,  RoseannaFity 
'39  visited  Germany,  Austria  and  Switzerland  Signs  to  St.  Gallen 
made  Mane  think  of  Mary  Harron  Hupczyc,  but  on  a  bus  tour 
there's  no  chance  to  detour  for  a  visit.  The  highlight  of  their  trip 
was  the  Passion  Play  in  Oberammergau — what  a  wonderful 
experience!  Ada  Scully  Cahill  called  to  say  that  she  wasn't 
receiving  mail.  Sureenough,  the  post  office  was  returning  it.  Why? 
They  no  longer  would  deliver  to  "7200  Ridge  Boulevard"  and  so 
she  changed  her  address  (but  not  her  abode)  to  190  72nd  Street.

On  this  beautiful  late  fall-into-winter  day  I  received  a  note  from 
Betty  Zangle,  telling  about  her  trip  last  summer  to  Arkansas, 
where  it  didn't  go  under  105°  during  her  entire  stay!  She  was 
surprised  to  find  this  state  "southern"  in  Its  social  life.  Betty  visited 
her  brother  and  his  family  at  Lake  Chataqua  this  summer;  her 
youngest  nephew  Richard  is  a  freshman  at  Slippery  Rock  State 
College  and  her  niece  Beth  is  a  junior  at  Mt.  St,  Mary's  in 
Newburgh.  A  newsy  card  from  Helen  Schwarz  Owendoff  tells  of 
her  church  work,  including  participation  in  the  annual  church 
shows,  as  well  as  taking  courses  In  education  and  religion  Her 
husband,  Harold  continues  teaching  at  a  junior  college,  although 
"retired"  .  .  .  shades  of  Jane  McLoughlln  O'Connor's  better  half! 
Helen's  youngest,  John,  graduated  from  Notre  Dame  and  received 
his  Master's  degree  from  Carnegie  Mellon.  Helen  and  Harold  are 
expecting  their  13th  grandchild  in  January.  Their  leisure  time  is

enjoying  the  Nutmeg  State.  Her  daughter,  Virginia  lives  nearby 
and  is  teaching.  She  has  a  master's  degree  in  Special  Education. 
Her  son.  Jack,  has  his  master's  in  Biology  and  lives  in  Boston.  He 
has  two  children.  Daughter,  Patricia  is  in  Stewart  Manor,  Long 
Island  and  also  has  two  children.  Her  daughter,  Mary,  was  married 
about  a  year  and  a  half  ago.  Virginia  was  just  recovering  from  a 
bout  with  la  flu  .  .  .  Catherine  Wills  who  is  Vice  President  for 
Retarded  Infant  Services  attended  a  Mini-Benefit  at  Belmont 
Park— a  very  enjoyable  affair.  Agnes  Rallerty  Stadmeyer  and 
Frank  spend  most  of  their  time  in  their  new  home  at  East  Hampton, 
Long  Island.  They  are  the  very  proud  grandparents  of  their  first 
grandchild,  a  little  girl,  born  to  son,  Frank,  and  his  wife.  While 
shopping  in  our  local  supermarkets,  I  ran  into  Grace  Flannery 
Morris  whose  daughter,  Meg,  and  her  husband  just  returned  from 
a  six  week  visit  to  Norway  and  Denmark,  and  other  European 
stops.  Daughter,  Beth  lives  in  Hockessin,  Delaware,  and  has  been 
made  a  Supervisor  in  her  school.  Her  husband  Ron  teaches 
English  in  senior  high  school.  They  had  a  great  family  reunion  in 
the  "First  State".  Ed  and  I  enjoyed  a  great  visit  from  Jack  Metzler, 
Jr.,  Bernadette  (Moroney)  and  Jack's  second  son,  who  has  been 
transferred  to  Calverton,  Long  Island.  Jack,  Sr  who  recently  had 
back  surgery  Is  on  the  mend.  Ed  and  I  had  a  wild  summer-fall 
season,  journeying  to  Pittsburgh  for  the  wedding  of  his  nephew, 
Jim,  and  then  to  Wilmington,  Delaware,  for  the  wedding  of  one  of 
my  many  cousins  down  there.  After  all  of  this,  we  managed  to 
stagger  to  Maine  for  a  nice  vacation  and  were  joined  there  by  Kay 
Allenand  her  sister  Eileen.  I  had  a  nice  chat  with  Marie  Blaber  and 
Kay  Loftus  after  the  1 1  AM  mass.  Florence  Kemp  Carberry  and  I 
hope  to  meet  Anne  Scanned  Smith  for  lunch  one  of  these  days  but 
Anne's  husband  has  been  quite  ill  .  .  do  say  a  prayer  for  them 
both.  I  have  been  working  as  a  volunteer  In  the  remedial  reading 
program  at  the  local  Catholic  school  and  I  find  it  quite  different 
from  senior  high  school.  I  can  now,  at  last,  appreciate  what  grade 
school  teachers  endure!  Anne  Hennessy  O'Rourke  who  keeps  her 
address  on  Vanderbllt  Street,  phoned  the  office  to  ask  about  any 
special  class  meeting  this  fall— which  had  been  discussed  at  the 
luncheon  She  left  for  Florida  in  October  Grace  Duffy  Kearney 
moved  from  New  Hampshire  to  Vero  Beach,  Florida,  over  three 
years  ago,  and  loves  It.  Their  son  is  still  in  Keene,  N.H  where  he  Is 
news  editor  and  also  teaches  in  Keene  State.  The  Kearneys  go 
north  for  a  month  or  so  in  the  summer  and  their  friends  come 
south  to  visit  them  in  the  winter.  We  extend  our  sympathy  to 
Charlotte  Dermody  Guercio  and  family,  on  the  death  of  her 
mother  last  St.  Joseph's  day  just  before  her  81st  birthday. 
Charlotte's  father  was  92  in  August.  Marie,  Charlotte's  sister,  Is  in 
the  Class  of  '34  I  hope  you  found  our  class  listing  in  the  annual 
report.  It  was  a  little  out  of  order,  but  we  are  there,  and  we  had  a 
most  respectable  figure  of  68%  giving  .  .  perhaps  next  year  we 
could  make  It  an  even  70%  .  .  .  please  keep  In  touch  .    ,

I  am  beginning  to  feel  empathy  with  the  late  Jack  Benny  Every 
time  I  announce  my  retirement,  someone  sends  latest  statistics  or 
calls  or  writes  .  so  I  feel  obliged  to  come  out  of  retirement. 
Sister  Mary  O'Halloran  (Betty  O'H.)  made  a  trip  to  Minneapolis 
and  also  visited  Cardinal  Carberry  in  St.  Louis.  Ed  and  Betty 
McMahon  Corrlgan  are  grandparents  of  a  new  grandchild,  born  in 
of  all  places  .  .  .  Kuala  Lumpur.  Betty's  son,  wife  and  2  children 
will  be  there  a  few  years  on  an  assignment  by  the  Chase  Bank. 
Grandparents  plan  a  trip  to  visit  them  and  see  the  new  baby.  Otto 
and  Margaret  McGllllvray  Seldel  have  a  new  granddaughter  The 
Seidel's  are  planning  a  trip  to  Bermuda  with  Tony  and  Kay 
Heffernan  Steffany  in  November.  Joe  and  Mary  McGrath  Verville, 
now  settled  in  Leisure  Village,  New  Jersey,  will  soon  be  joined  by 
Margaret  Laux  O'Reilly  who  was  so  impressed  when  a  group  of  us 
visited  the  Vervilles  last  Spring,  that  she  has  picked  out  a  house. 
However,  she  must  sell  her  Boonton  home  Tom  and  Gertrude 
Neufeld  Walsh  are  also  there.  Hilton  Head,  NC  is  another  St. 
Joseph  mecca.  Annette  Robinson  called  to  relate  the  wonderful 
visit  she  had  with  Mary  Twigg  Connors,  Isabelle  Anderson  Miles 
and  Madeline  Noonan  O'Neil.  Annette  spent  nine  days  with  Mary 
and  Frank  and  praised  the  climate,  the  convenience  to  Savannah 
(45  minutes)  and  the  beauty  of  the  homes.  With  moss  hanging 
from  the  balconies,  sounds  like  scenes  from  Gone  With  The  Wind. 
Isabelle  is  doing  fine,  herdaughters  have  been  to  visit  her  and  she 
planned  a  beach  party  for  some  35  people  Mary  gave  a  big  dinner 
party  just  for  SJC  alumnae.  Tom  and  Madeline  O'Neil  left  for  a  trip 
to  Manila.  Annette  attended  Father  Kllcoyne's  ordination  with 
Fran  Jacobsen  Bennett.  They  judged  attendance  at  about  1 ,000 
and  at  least  50  priests.  Annette  is  still  with  Stone  Webster.  She 
drives  to  the  LIRR  and  takes  the  train  to  Penn  Station.  Jim  and

Frances  Young  McCarthy  will  spend  two  to  three  weeks  in 
Switzerland.  As  for  me,  I  had  the  unique  experience  of  turning 
back  the  clock.  In  1933  I  had  the  pleasure  of  appearing  at 
Rockefeller  Center  Skating  Rink  to  skate  at  the  opening  cere- 
monies. Now  In  October,  1 980  I  skated  a  pair  exhibition  at  that  rink 
for  the  benefit  of  the  United  Hospital  fund.  John  Gambling— 
WOR— MC'd  the  program  giving  these  statistics,  leaving  the 
audience  to  figure  out  the  math  for  themselves!

Cathleen  Farrell  Walsh's  son ,  Bob  is  a  Lt.  Col.  and  lives  on  an  air 
force  base  in  England  with  his  family.  Son,  Quentin,  was  married 
in  November.  Ellen  is  a  speech  therapist  in  the  Brentwood  School 
District.  Cathy  is  at  Brown  U.  for  her  Ph.D.  All  but  Bob  were  home 
for  the  wedding,  and  Terry  and  her  baby  will  stay  until  after  the 
New  Year  so  Cathleen  will  get  a  chance  to  watch  her  grand- 
daughter grow.  Cathleen  visited  Marcella  (Canale)  and  Bill  Reld 
while  in  Alexandria  in  September.  Ruth  Drucker  and  Isabella 
Foster  Knight  went  visiting  in  Chicago  together,  Ruth  to  her 
niece  and  Isabella  to  her  sister-in-law  and  a  family  wedding.  We 
offer  sympathy  to  Agatha  Walsh  O'Brien  whose  son,  Mark,  33,  was 
struck  by  lightning  this  past  summer.  Agatha  and  son,  Peter  went 
to  Colorado  to  bring  him  home  for  burial.  They  also  travelled  to 
Oregon,  and  saw  daughter,  Monica's  new  baby.  Daughter,  Suellen 
Glashausen  also  has  a  new  baby,  and  lives  in  Manhattan  with  her 
husband.  Agatha  writes  to  the  New  York  State  Theater,  at  Lincoln 
Center,  for  reserved  seats  for  performances,  and  usually  drives  in 
from  Westchester.  I  joined  her  one  Sunday  for  a  very  enjoyable 
operetta.  The  Student  Prince.  I  received  a  postcard  from  Vence, 
France,  from  Mary  Birmingham  Ponset  where  she  is  spending 
three  months  at  the  Kavoly  Foundation  for  Artists  and  Writers. 
"The  Cathedral  here  Is  beautiful,"  she  says.  "It  has  something  in  it 
from  every  century  from  the  tenth  to  the  twentieth.  Chagall,  who 
lives  here,  has  just  done  a  mosiac  for  the  baptistry  wall.  The 
Matisse  chapel  is  here  too,  but  Mass  is  only  open  to  the  public 
twice  a  week.  I'm  working  hard  at  trying  to  write."  Marie  also  writes 
of  the  wonderful  reunion  day  last  Spring.  She  was  amazed  at  "how 
young  we  all  are— how  much  ourselves  we  stayed  through  a 
dazzling  variety  of  experiences."

Once  again  the  urge  to  travel  seems  to  overwhelm  us.  Cathy 
Stelnman  and  DIanne  Plwlnski  found  themselves  in  England 
again  and  revelling  in  the  unbelievably  beautiful  English  country- 
side. They  travelled  from  London  to  the  tomb  of  Henry  VII  at 
Windsor,  to  the  quaint  village  of  Stow-on-the-Wold  (Church  on 
the  Hill)  in  the  rolling  green  cotswolds  and  they  returned  to  the 
land  of  Robert  Dudley  and  his  Elizabeth.  Brian  and  Mary  Ellen 
Gatfney  Kenny  and  Mark  and  Paul,  are  resting  after  finishing  the 
renovation  of  their  attic  into  a  lovely  bedroom.  Election  day  saw 
Mark  dutifully  recording  his  vote  on  the  model  voting  machine  set 
up  at  the  polls.  Home  hunting  on  LI  are  Bob  and  Mary  Monaco 
Pozaryckl  who  are  looking  for  a  spot  to  try  their  hands  at  growing 
plants.  (Our  classmates  are  always  looking  for  the  different  way!) 
They  welcomed  Robert  Michael  II  into  their  home  on  June  11th.

Mulherns  took  a  relaxing  trip  through  Amish  country  and  plan 
making  one  into  Connecticut.  Linda  Schmid  McMahon  has  moved 
to  Vermont  with  her  three  children.  Anne  Gregory  and  Miriam 
McMahon  continued  their  survey  of  Americana,  throroughly 
enjoying  a  summer  trip  to  Nashville,  Tenn.  and  the  Ole'  Opry

1978  Therese  married  Kevin  who  is  a  therapist  at  Bellevue.

OF  THE  CLASS  OF  1921 


The  Class  of  1921  received  degrees  ai  the  Brooklyn 
Academy  of  Music  on  June  16th  of  that  year.  On  that  date 
this  year,  we  will  have  a  Mass  offered  for  the  classmates 
who  have  gone  before  us.  Verum  ad  Finem  is  our  class 
motto  and  it  is  but  fitting  in  this,  our  fiOth  anniversary 
year,  that  our  prayers  be  our  expression  of  fidelity  and 
affection  for  Maureen  Bingham  Brady,  Helen  C:.  Caulfield, 
Dr.  Helen  .\.  D'Albora,  Sr.  Consuela  Marie  (Mildred 
Duffy),  Agnita  Duffy  O'Connor,  Helen  Livellara,  Marian 
McKenna  Doyle,  Florence  C.  Newman,  and  Catherine 
Shannon.  In  prayerful  gratitude  we  will  also  have  a  Mass 
offered  for  the  priests,  sisters,  and  laity  who  were  our 
teachers  during  our  college  years. 

Wecould  write  reminiscences  of  our  days  at  St.  Joseph's, 
but  this  in  not  our  true  purpose.  Our  purpose  is  rather  to 
give  an  objective  overview  of  the  doings  of  the  members  of 
the  Class  of  '2 1  for  the  period  of  sixty  years  —  not  to  credit 
us  individually,  but  rather  to  present  a  mosaic  of  our 
collective  accomplishments. 

We  enrolled  in  a  new,  struggling  and  little  known 
institution  —  St.  Joseph's  College  —  and  it  became  very 
dear  to  us.  Our  teacher  of  history  was  Dr.  Molloy  (later 
Bishop).  It  was  one  of  his  delights  to  tell  us,  now  and  then, 
a  thrilling,  haunted — house  type  of  story  and  then 
laughingly  to  leave  us  without  disclosing  the  much 
awaited  climax!  Father  Dillon  (later  Monsignor)  began 
his  teaching  career  at  the  College  with  our  class,  and  the 
Sister  Registrar  who  advised  us  of  his  coming,  described 
him  as  the  handsomest  priest  in  the  Diocese. 

We  had  a  Literary  Society  which  honored  Agnes 
Repplier,  Aline  Kilmer,  and  many  others;  we  held  dances 
with  decorations  bought  at  and  carried  from  Wallabout 
Market.  One  such  decoration,  a  Christmas  tree,  poorly  set 
in  a  pail,  fell  during  the  dance  with  no  injury  (Deo 
Gralias! )  except  to  our  pridel  Before  some  other  social 
event  the  College  custodian  quit  and,  along  with  other 
household  tasks,  we  carried  small  rugs  down  the  elegant 
staircase  to  beat  them  clean  in  the  great  outdoors!  For  our 
exclusive  use  in  Senior  Year  we  were  given  a  small  room 
which  we  called  our  "Sanctum"  —  and  no  two  by  four 
area  was  ever  more  revered.  The.se  are  memories,  but  to 
reveal  more  of  them  is  not,  as  we  have  said,  the  purpose  of 
this  article.  We  want  rather  to  tell  with  [iride  and  with 
gratitude  of  the  accomplishments  of  the  CMass  of  '21.  (If 
any  is  not  mentioned,  it  is  due  to  forgeifulness,  and  that  is 
very  understandable!) 

Three  of  oitr  members  entered  the  religious  lile;  one  as  a 
Religious  of  the  Good  Shepherd,  another  a  Sister  of  the 
Blessed  Sacrament,  and  the  third  as  a  Grey  Nun  of  the 
Sacred  Heart.  Their  work  for  God  has,  as  of  this  date, 
totaled  well  over  1,50  years.  One  worked  for  the  Home 
Missions  and  wrote  a  book  on  the  life  of  Katherine  Drexel, 
the  foundress  of  her  Order.  Another,  as  Chairman  of  the 
English  Department  and  Dean,  did  most  of  her  work  at 
D'Youville  College;  and  the  third  has  been  for  over  fifty 
years  a  missionary  in  China  and  Hong  Kong. 

Our  class  at  the  start  numbered  eighteen.  One  of  our 


original  members  left  to  attend  Trinity  College;  one  left 
for  other  pursuits;  and  one  transferred  from  Hunter 
College  to  St.  Joseph's  in  our  sophomore  year.  Eight  of 
our  number  married  and  are  honored  in  their  children. 
Nearly  all  of  us  ha\e  lived  in  the  city  and  its  environs. 
However,  we  did  ha\  e  one  who  has  worked  in  Washington, 
D.C.;  one  had  lived  in  Canada  for  some  years;  and  one,  as 
already  mentioned,  has  served  in  China  and  Hong  Kong. 

Two  of  our  classmates  have  become  successful  business 
people,  one  of  them  in  Government.  Many  of  the  others 
with  M.A.'s  in  tht  fields  of  French,  English,  Latin, 
History,  and  Economics,  entered  the  teaching  profession 
and  taught  in  the  New  York  City  high  schools.  One 
studied  Library  Science  and  served  for  many  years  as 
librarian  in  the  public  school  system.  An  M.A.  in  Theology- 
was,  forone.  of  assistance  in  teachingand  in  publitaiions 
and  other  works  connected  with  Home  Missions.  We  were 
the  first  class  to  have  an  alumna  earn  a  Ph.D.  It  was 
awarded  in  English  by  the  Catholic  University  and  was 
used  in  the  field  of  college  teaching  and  administration. 

In  other  professions,  we  had  an  M.D.  who  served  St. 
Joseph's  in  student  examinations  and  in  the  Child  Study 
Department.  Another  member,  an  attorney  with  a 
Doctorate  in  Juridical  Science,  worked  exclusively  with 
youth.  She  was  appointed  by  the  Mayor  to  the  New  York 
City  Youth  Board,  on  which  she  served  as  representative  of 
the  Catholic  Youth  Organization. 

We  had  the  first  AlumnaeTrustee  on  the  College  Board; 
we  had  a  winner  of  an  International  Women's  Award  for 
Community  Activity;  we  had  a  speaker  at  the  College 
Commencement;  and  we  had  a  member  elected  to  Who's 
Who  of  American  Women.  Under  the  auspices  of  the 
Diocesan  Council  of  Catholic  Women,  a  member  of  our 
group  chaired  a  course  on  the  "Technitjues  of 
Communism  "  gi\en  by  the  late  Louis  Budenz.  Can  we  not 
say,  with  modesty,  that  we  ha\e  served  our  Alma  Mater 
well? 

On  her  recent  visit  from  Hong  Kong,  Sister  E"rancis  of 
Assisi  had  a  visit  with  all  but  one  of  her  classmates.  This 
required  travel  to  Washington  and  to  Sheffield, 
Massachusetts,  as  well  as  meetings  in  the  New  York  area. 
Unfortunately,  a  visit  to  Sister  Mary  Geraldine  at  her 
Motherhouse  in  Yardley,  Pennsylvania,  could  not  be 
arranged. 

The  members  of  the  Class  of  '2 1  who  are  enjoying  a  60th 
anniversary  are:  Sister  Mary  Geraldine  (.\gnes  Byrne), 
Grace  Byrne  Hill,  Helen  Campbell,  Sister  Mary  Francis  of 
Assisi  (Eva  Flinn),  Eleanor  Howard  O'Leary,  Ruth 
McCormack  Schneider,  Catherine  O'Hale  Dwyer,  and 
Grace  A.  Reynolds. 

We  remember  our  former  teachers  with  gratitude  and 
affection;  we  hold  the  College  and  its  present  fac  ulty  in 
pride  and  esteem,  our  deceased  members  in  loving 
remembrance,  and  one  another  in  a  bond  —  a  resolve  to 
remain  I'erum  adFinnn.

In  the  midst  of  this  celebration  of  the  achievements  of 
our  students,  alumni,  and  faculty,  there  is  one  person 
whose  personal  accomplishments  and  devotion  to  St. 
Joseph's  College  merit  a  very  special  mention.  .St.  Joseph's 
College  and  Delta  Epsilon  Sigma,  in  particular,  ha\e  for 
many  years  been  the  recipients  of  the  generous  and 
enthusiastic  support  of  Dr.  Bernadette  Garvey.  Today.  St. 
Joseph's  would  like,  in  a  small  way,  to  say  thank  you  for 
all  she  has  done  to  further  the  goals  of  the  College  and  of 
Delta. 

During  her  busy  and  highly  successful  professional 
career  in  the  New  York  City  Board  of  Education, 
Bernadette  has  always  exemplified  qualities  of  excellence, 
dedication  to  scholarship,  and  service.  These  values  have 
characterized  her  life  and  her  work,  from  her  days  as  an 
active,  in\ohed  undergraduate  at  SJC,  to  the  present. 

Bernadette's  achievements  are  numerous  and  impressive 
indeed.  After  receiving  her  B.A.  in  Math  from  St.  Joseph's, 
she  went  to  Fordham  where  she  earned  her  Master's 
degree.  Bernadette  revealed  the  range  of  her  intellectual 
interest  and  competence  by  continuing  her  graduate 
studies  at  St.  John's  University,  where  she  received  a  Ph.D. 
in  English  Language  and  Literature. 

This  interdisciplinary  background  was  an  excellent 
preparation  for  the  challenging  position  of  Adminis- 
trative Assistant  of  Gompers  \'ocational  High  School, 
which  she  held  for  a  number  of  years.  Her  exceptional 
talents  were  early  recognized  by  the  New  York  City  Board 
of  Education,  and  she  was  invited  to  serve  as  -Assistant 
Adminsitrative  Director  of  the  Office  of  Instruction,  and 
was  then  promoted  to  the  position  of  Executive  .Assistant 
to  the  Deputy  Superintendent  of  Schools.  In  each  of  these 
pi\'otal  posts,  Bernadette  sought  to  approach  the  problems 
and  challenges  of  administering  the  public  school  system 
with  the  commitment  to  excellence  and  Christian  values 
which  has  charactrerized  all  her  endeavors. 


Salute 

to 
Bernadette 

M. 
Garvey,  Ph.D. 


Although  her  professional  responsibilities  were 
numerous  and  demanding,  Bernadette  found  ample  time 
to  share  her  talents  in  many  other  areas.  For  many  years, 
Bernadette  was  a  key  member  of  the  Catholic  Teachers' 
-Association,  and  also  participated  in  the  .Academy  for 
Public  Education.  Her  \  olunteer  work  for  the  Propagation 
of  the  Faith  has  been  tireless  —  it  is  well  known  that  she 
has  travelled  from  Long  Island  to  Brooklyn  once  a  week 
for  a  number  of  years  to  fulfill  her  commitment  to  the 
missionary  work  of  the  Church. 

Bernadette  has  been  an  outstandingly  loyal  alumna  of 
SJC,  serving  a  President  of  the  -Alumnae  -Association  for 
two  years,  and  participating  in  countless  alumnae 
activities.  Not  onlv  the  -Alumni  but  the  Board  of  Trustees 
has  received  bountifully  of  her  talent  and  resources.  A 
trustee emerita.  Dr.  Garvey's  active  trusteeship  covered  the 
period  of  rapid  growth  of  the  College  and  the  concomitant 
period  of  self  study.  She  was  a  distinguished  member  of 
the  1973  Middle  States  Self-Study  Committee.  Her 
knowledge  of  both  the  New  York  City  educational  system 
and  the  College  has  been  invaluable  in  the  development  of 
College  policy. 

Bernadette  has  always  been  an  indefatigable  supporter 
of  Delta  Epsilon  Sigma  on  campus.  She  was  elected 
National  President  of  Delta  Epsilon  Sigma,  and  the  grace 
and  efficiency  with  which  she  served  redounded  to  the 
honor  of  her  alma  mater.  She  has  encouraged  the  growth 
and  de\elopment  of  the  Epsilon  Chapter.  She  has  never 
stinted  in  sharing  her  time,  her  energies,  and  her  many 
gifts:  and  our  presence  here  today  is,  in  no  small  measure, 
atuibutable  to  her  patient  and  generous  interest. 

I  wish  to  take  this  occasion  to  express  my  personal 
thanks  and  sincere  affection  for  her  constant  availability 
not  only  to  St.  Joseph's,  but  to  me  as  President.  -A  patient 
listener,  a  keenly  intelligent  analyzer,  Bernadette  has 
responded  with  warmth  and  cogency  to  questions  I  have 
raised. 

By  her  own  achievements,  and  the  example  she  has 
given  of  loyalty,  commitment  to  principle,  and  dedication 
to  values,  Bernadette  -M.  Garvey  has  truly  earned  the 
gratitude  and  admiration  of  all  members  of  the  St. 
Joseph's  community.  It  is  our  hope  that  this  small  token 
will  serve  as  a  visible  symbol  of  our  very  deep  affection  and 
esteem.

AWARD 


Rosemary  Sheridan  31  receiving  award  jrom  Terence 
Cardinal  Cooke 


The  highest  Papal  honor  a  laywoman  can  achieve,  the 
award  Pro  Ecclesia  et  Pontiftce,  was  conferred  on 
Rosemary  Sheridan,  of  the  Jubilee  class  of  '3 1 ,  by  Cardinal 
Cooke  on  December  10.  Rosemary's  leadership  abilities  in 
the  field  of  Family  and  Child  Welfare  earned  this  unusual 
distinction. 

Rosemary  Sheridan  graduated  from  St.  Joseph's  with  a 
major  in  Mathematics  and  a  minor  in  Education.  In  1935 
she  received  a  Master's  degree  in  Social  Work  from 
Fordham,  then  continued  her  studies  at  the  New  York 
School  of  Social  Work.  In  1 978  she  completed  the  Not-for- 
Profit  Management  Institute  of  the  Columbia  I'niversity 
School  of  Business  and  School  of  Social  Work. 

Rosemary  served  as  an  Administrative  Consultant  and 
Assistant  in  the  Department  of  Child  Care,  Archdiocese  of 
New  York,  and  was  the  Director  of  Home  Finding  at  the 
New  York  Foundling  Hospital.  She  was  at  one  time 
District  Supervisor  of  Family  Service  and  Supervisor  of 
the  Catholic  Guardian  Society,  Brooklyn  Catholic 
Charities.  She  held  the  position  of  Director  of  Catholic 
Child  Welfare  in  Omaha,  Nebraska. 

In  19.57,  Rosemary  received  professional  recognition  as 
Supervisor  of  the  Year  from  the  New  York  State  Welfare 
Conference.  This  was  for  the  development  of  an  innovative 
and  creative  program  as  Director  of  the  Child  Placement 
Prevention  Unit. 

The  Papal  Award  was  given  on  her  retirement  as 
Executive  Director  of  St.  Cabrini  Home,  a  position  she 
had  held  since  February  1972.  During  her  tenure  she 
established  psychiatric  programs  for  severely  disturbed 
adolescent  boys  and  girls  at  the  institution,  and  was 
instrumental  in  the  founding  of  the  East  Park  Union 
School  District.

contributions  which  you  send  in  response  to  our  appeal. 
Although  it  is  quite  a  change  from  her  position  as 
Assistant  Principal  of  Richmond  Hill  High  .School  ( 1965- 
1980),  she  has  been  taking  the  vagaries  and  pressures  of  the 
job  in  stride. 

Clare  has  served  the  college  and  the  Alumni  Association 
in  many  ways  as  member  of  the  Executive  Board,  President

An 
Acting 
Career 


In  a  midday  interview,  Catherine  Jacobsen  Bruno,  '71, 
found  time  to  talk  of  her  career  as  an  actress.  It  is  a  life  full 
of  uncertainties;  built  into  every  job  is  the  certainty  that  it 
will  end. 

The  past  few  weeks  have  been  unusually  hectic,  for 
Catherine  has  had  parts  in  two  different  short-run  shows. 
The  first,  an  Argentinian  play,  has  an  eight  o'clock 
curtain  in  .St.  Clement's  Theater  on  46th  Street.  When  it  is 
over,  she  has  to  rush  to  the  West  Side  Arts  Theater  on  43rd 
Street  for  a  10:30  P.M.  curtain  on  a  comedy  revue  entitled 
Serious  Bizness.  This  show  has  been  well  received,  and 
may  possibly  have  an  additional  run. 

Catherine  Jacobsen  matriculated  at  St.  Joseph's  in  1966. 
After  her  Freshman  year,  she  entered  the  novitiate  of  of  the 
Congregation  of  St.  Joseph,  and  there  found  her  vocation 
—  for  the  stage.  The  novices  put  on  plays  for  recreation, 
and  Catherine  acted  in  all  of  them.  She  loved  it!  After  two 
years,  she  left  the  novitiate  and  returned  to  St.  Joseph's 
College.  She  received  a  B. A.  in  English  Literature  in  1971. 
She  particularly  loved  a  course  in  Shakespeare  given  by 
Sister  Mary  Florence.  In  it  she  received  her  first  exemption. 

But  it  was  Sr.  Grace  Marie  in  the  Theater  course  at  St. 
Joseph's  who  was  the  most  encouraging  and  positive 
influence  on  her  growing  desire  for  an  acting  career. 
While  at  the  college  she  had  roles  in  the  Drama  Club 
productions  of  "U.S.A."  and  "Member  of  the  Wedding." 
During  rehearsal  for  "U.S.A.",  a  young  assistant  director 
approached  her  with,  "I  know  you  from  somewhere".  A 
line,  of  course  —  she  had  never  seen  him  before.  Or  so  she 
thought.  Later  that  evening  he  remembered  that  they  had 
both  taken  part  in  a  forensic  competition  for  high  school 
seniors,  she  from  Our  Lady  of  Perpetual  Help,  he  from 
Xaverian.  He  won  the  contest.  In  1972  he  won  Catherine. 
She  married  him,  Richard  Bruno,  also  an  artor  and  a 
talented  director. 

Serious  about  acting,  Catherine  joined  a  theater  group 
that  worked  out  of  a  loft  in  SoHo.  They  were  a  dynamic, 
radical  "doing  our  art"  group,  using  their  own  material 
for    their    short-run    off-off    Broadway    productions. 


Catherine  Jacobsen  Bruno  '71 

Eventually,  of  course,  the  group  began  to  break  up. 
Catherine  knew  she  had  talent  but  needed  some  serious 
training.  She  enrolled  at  NYX'  for  a  three-year  program  in 
Fine  Arts.  In  her  last  year  she  did  some  teaching  there,  and 
earned  her  Master's  degree  in  1978. 

Three  weeks  out  of  acting  school,  Catherine  lined  up  to 
auditioir  for  Edward  Albee,  who  was  producing  seven  of 
his  one-act  plays  to  go  on  tour.  Incredibly,  she  was  chosen 
for  the  cast.  The  show  went  on  the  road  with  this  group, 
and  travelled  throughout  the  United  States,  and  to  Canada 
and  Hawaii.  They  played  on  university  campuses  and  in 
small  towns,  in  well-equipped  auditoriums  and  on 
improvised  stages,  before  large  and  small,  sophisticated 
and  simple  audiences.  Catherine  feels  that  the  opportunity 
of  being  directed  by  Edward  Albee  and  the  experience  of 
touring  were  tremendously  valuable.  The  challenge  of 
working  with  people  under  varied  conditions  and  the 
exposure  to  varied  audiences  truly  developed  her  art. 

Catherine  is  considering  film  work  for  a  time,  because 
of  the  greater  exposure  it  offers,  and  the  greater  re- 
muneration. Although  she  has  no  desire  to  enter  the  field 
at  present,  television  is  another  option.  But  her  first  love  is 
the  live  stage.

The  outstretched  neck  is  a  greeting 

In  1974,  I  became  the  owner  of  a  gaggle  of  geese.  My 
husband,  Lew,  gave  them  to  me  for  Easter,  just  as  he  had 
given  me  eighteen  ducks  some  years  before.  If  this  sounds 
like  grounds  for  divorce  or  mayhem  please  understand 
that  I  am  an  animal  lover  and  always  have  been. 

We  live  on  fifty-five  acres  of  land  in  the  Townshipj  of 
Westerlo,  Albany  County,  N.Y.  Our  acreage  includes 
woods,  open  fields,  a  stream  and  a  large  pond.  Our 
mailing  address  is  Greenville,  a  popular  resort  town  for 
many  New  Yorkers. 

My  Easter  gaggle  came  in  two  species  of  geese,  Chinese 
and  African.  Chinese  geese  are  pure  white  while  Africans 
have  grey  or  beige  breasts  and  necks  with  barred  white, 
black  and  grey  wings  and  tail.  Chinese  bills  and  feet  are 
orange  while  African  bills  and  feet  are  black.  The 
Egyptians  are  supposed  to  have  developed  the  African 
geese.  China  has  long  been  a  center  for  a  variety  of  ducks 
and  geese.  Both  species  have  long  slender  necks,  unlike 
domestic  geese. 

My  new  little  friends  were  two  weeks  old  and  were  balls 
of  fluff.  Naturally,  they  had  to  be  kept  warm  and  the  best 
place  was  a  cage  in  the  living  room.  Geese  are  intelligent 
and  indicated  this  by  lining  up  nightly  to  watch  the 
evening  news  on  TV.  They  loved  to  be  picked  up  and 
exposed  to  body  heat.  I  fed  them  starter  mash,  grit  for 
digestion  and  lots  of  water.  Within  weeks,  they  had 
outgrown  their  enclosure  so  we  rigged  up  another  in  the 
basement  until  their  feathers  grew  in  completely  and  they 
could  go  into  an  outdoor  barn. 

On  a  warm  day  in  June,  we  loaded  the  cage  on  a  trailer 
and  towed  it  to  the  pond.  .\s  I  picked  up  each  goose  or 
gander  and  placed  him  or  her  on  the  ground,  the  bird  ran 
right  to  me.  They  were  imprinted  with  the  idea  that  I  was 
mother. 

The  geese  are  fully  grown  now  and  are  large  and 
beautiful.  Each  has  a  name  and  knows  it.  I  did  slip  up  on 
my  choi(  eof  names  once.  Mai-Ling  turned  out  to  be  male 
but  he  doesn't  care  as  long  as  I  carry  him  to  the  pond. 

Geese  stay  together  and  are  unhappy  when  separated. 
When  a  goose  decides  to  lay  an  egg  in  the  barn,  the  whole 
bunch  trot  in  to  wait  until  she  has  laid  her  egg  and  then  off 
they  go  to  graze  or  swim.  They  love  to  be  clean  and  every 


MOTH€R 
GOOS€ 


feather  must  be  pruned  and  in  place.  When  they  sleep, 
their  webbed  feet  are  tucked  up  under  their  wings  while 
their  long  necks  swivel  around  so  that  the  head  is 
protected  by  the  wings  also.  They  eat  grass,  insects,  water 
plants,  corn  and  bread.  Each  night  I  give  them  fresh  water 
and  corn  in  the  little  Dutch  barn.  They  eat  the  bread  out  of 
hand. 

We  had  several  weeks  of  windy,  bitterly  cold  weather 
this  past  winter  and  it  was  the  first  time  I  observed  the 
geese  to  be  uncomfortable  out  of  doors. 

I  stain  the  barn  yearly  with  a  wood  preservative  and  as 
soon  as  I  am  on  the  ladder,  Kubla  Kahn  and  Mai  Ling 
spend  their  time  untying  my  shoelaces  and  chuckling 
about  It.  It  is  an  annual  game. 

Geese  can  be  hostile  and  should  not  be  bought  as  pets 
for  small  children.  Care,  understanding  and  caution 
provide  happiness  and  safety  to  both  creature  and  human. 

Lew  and  I  share  another  interest  and  that  is  Amateur 
Radio.  In  the  60's,  we  became  interested  in  the  11  meter 
Citizen's  Band  for  base  to  car  communication.  In  the  early 
years,  CB  was  a  pleasure  to  use,  but  it  has  deteriorated 
badly. 

.■\s  our  interest  in  CB  decreased,  our  interest  in  Ham 
Radio  increased.  We  took  the  code  and  theory  tests  and 
received  our  licenses.  My  call  sign  is  WB2BWT  or 
Whiskey  Bravo  2  Bravo  Whiskey  Tango.  We  use  Icom 
radios  (2  meter)  and  use  the  frequencies  represented  by 
repeaters  on  Mt.  Greylock,  Mass.,  Chatham,  Beacon, 
Cobleskill  and  Troy. 

Some  of  the  radio  groups  have  emergency  services  in 
case  of  storms,  road  conditions  etc.  These  services  or 
"Nets"  relay  information  and  try  to  assist  in  every  way 
when  emergencies  exist. 

We  have  monitored  on  other  radios  in  our  "Shack"  a 
conversation  between  a  father  in  Massachusetts  and  a  son 
in  the  Gulf  of  Tonkin.  \  priest  in  Peru  talking  to  his 
father  in  Boston  was  another  long  distance  call  we  have 
heard. 

Geese  or  radios  —  one  gives  information  and  the  other 
love.  Take  your  choice  or  take  both.

Janet  Labuda  '72 


Maria  DiLorenzo  Kearon  '73 


In  search  of  a  new  career,  after  four  years  as  a  History 
teacher  at  Stella  Maris,  Janet  Labuda  72,  was  encouraged 
by  her  sister,  who  works  for  the  Treasury  Department  in 
Washington,  to  seek  Government  employment.  "To  me, 
the  atmosphere  of  the  Airport  was  always  exciting,"  Janet 
said,  "so  I  sought  employment  there  first."  Janet  had 
successfully  taken  the  PACE-Professional  and  Admin- 
istrative Career  Exam  —  so  she  was  hired. 

As  a  candidate  for  the  law  enforcement  position  of 
Customs  Officer,  Janet  was  sent  to  the  "West  Point"  of 
Law  Enforcement  Training  in  Glynco,  Georgia,  where 
she  underwent  training  in  law,  crime,  narcotics,  firearms 
and  self-defense. 

Janet  is  stationed  at  Kennedy  Airport  and  works  by 
turns  in  the  International  Arrivals  Building  or  the 
terminals  of  TWA,  Pan  Am,  American  Airlines  or  British 
Airways.  Each  week  her  shift  changes  and  so  does  her 
location.  Janet  examines  luggage  brought  in  by  inter- 
national passengers.  First,  the  passport  and  Customs 
Declaration  form  are  checked  for  authenticity,  accuracy 
and  completeness  —  with  the  aid  of  computers.  She 
questions  passengers  about  foreign  goods,  examines 
luggage  —  looking  for  narcotics,  excessive  merchandise  or 
prohibited  products  . 

"Honesty  is  the  best  policy, "says  Janet.  "There  can  be 
stiff  penalties  for  those  who  get  caught  trying  to  bend 
Customs  Laws  and  we  catch  a  fair  share  of  people  who  do 
this." 

In  her  job,  Janet  has  processed  luggage  of  Sophia 
Loren,  Princess  Grace  of  Monaco  and  her  son  Prince 
Albert,  Cheryl  Tiegs,  Piper  Laurie,  Jacques  Cousteau, 
Tony  Curtis  and  the  entire  string  section  of  the  New  York 
Philharmonic.  Some  day,  it  could  be  you! 


How  does  a  doctor,  a  nurse  or  a  therapist  communicate 
with  a  patient  who  speaks  only  Spanish?  A  textbcxjk, 
MedicalSpamsh  —  A  Conversational  Approach,  compiled 
to  deal  with  this  problem,  was  published  early  this  year. 
The  authors  are  Maria  DiLorenzo  Kearon,  an  alumna  and 
now  full  professor  of  Spanish  at  St.  Joseph's  and  her 
husband,  Thomas  P.  Kearon. 

Maria  received  her  bachelor's  degree,  summa  cum 
laude,  in  1973.  She  attended  Fordham  University  on  a 
teaching  fellowship,  earning  a  master's  degree  in  Spanish 
in  1974.  She  continued  at  Fordham  as  an  adjunct  professor, 
and  taught  at  City  College,  Medgar  Evers  and  St.  Joseph's 
as  well. 

While  pursuing  further  studies  for  a  doctorate  at  CUNY 
42nd  Street,  Maria  was  asked  by  the  Albert  Einstein 
College  of  Medicine  to  teach  medical  students  enough 
Spanish^  to  enable  them  to  communicate  with  their 
patients.  As  she  began  coordinating  a  program,  she  and 
her  husband,  also  a  doctoral  candidate  in  Spanish,  saw  the 
need  for  a  book,  using  materials  they  had  developed. 
Given  a  six  months'  deadline,  they  worked  feverishly  to 
produce  a  text  that  would  be  helpful  to  all  health 
practitioners. 

The  book,  published  in  January,  is  not  merely  a  manual 
or  phrase  book  for  "handy"  reference,  but  a  complete 
textbook,  with  emphasis  on  medical  and  technical 
terminology.  With  the  growing  Spanish-speaking  pop- 
ulation in  many  sections  of  this  country,  health-care 
professionals  will  welcome  this  valuable  tool  enabling 
them  to  speak  Spanish  at  least  on  an  elementary  level  an  in 
the  areas  they  need.  The  Kearons  have  made  a  significant 
contribution  to  the  very  foundation  of  medical  care  — 
understanding. 


Intrepid 

Traveler 


"If  my  teachers  accomplished  nothing  else,  they  turned 
me  into  a  gypsy",  writes  VVilma  Kohler  of  theclass  of  '50. 
"I  ha\e  been  wandering  for  thirty  years." 

Wilma  is  not  always  a  coddled  deluxe  tourist.  Her  trip 
last  year  to  South  America,  her  fourth,  with  her  photo- 
grapher friend  Rose  Mary  Bader,  was  an  exciting  mixture 
of  hardship  and  beauty,  misery  and  delight  —the  kind  of 
trip  that  fascinates  and  rewards  the  ad\enturous  traveler. 

.'Vfter  a  seven-hour  delay  in  New  ^'ork  ,  their  Pan  Am 
flight  to  Rio,  translated  them  from  summer  to  winter.  But, 
though  the  beaches  were  empty,  a  sweater  was  adetjuate  in 
the  cool  of  the  e\  ening.  The  irritation  of  delay  and  waiting 
were  soon  forgotten  in  sightseeing  tours,  especially  the 
breathtaking  cable  ride  to  Sugarloaf  and  Corcovado. 

Pa(jueta  Island  could  be  reached  by  a  charter  cruise 
costing  $35  or  an  hour-and-a-half  ferry  ride  for  70C.  Our 
friends  chose  the  latter  and  found  that  the  ferry  was 
escorted  most  of  the  way  by  playful  dolphins.  They  hired  a 
horse  and  carriage  ( there  are  no  cars)  and  rode  around  this 
island  of  clean  beaches  and  bright-colored  houses.  They 
found  the  Brazilian  people  gracious,  friendly  and  helpful. 

Next,  they  flew  to  Igassu  Falls.  They  enjoyed  the 
spectacular  beauty  of  the  falls  from  vantage  points  reached 
by  walking  on  well-marked  paths  —  and  were  caught  in 
torrential  rains.  They  recommend  ponchos  and  plastic 
bags  if  you  make  the  trip.  But  the  views  were  worth  the 
discomfort. 

,\nother  flight  delay,  then  cancellation,  and  they  took 
off  for  Posada,  not  by  plane,  but  by  bus.  For  hours  they 
hurtled  through  the  rain  and  the  dark,  with  water  running 
in  the  windows  on  to  the  sawdust  covered  floors.  At  the 
dinner  stop  (at  1.00  A.M.)  the  menu  was  cold  ham  and 
cheese  sandwiches  and  Fanta.  They  survived  another  four 
hour  ride  to  Posada  and  flew  froiri  there  to  Buenos  Aires. 
Very  little  lould  be  said  of  this  city  because  they  found  it 
dull  and  expensi\e.  On  to  Lima,  which  was  noisy  and 
crowded,  but  with  many  interesting  churches:  .Santo 
Domingo,  the  Cathedral,  San  Pedro  and  San  Francisco, 
with  its  mysterious  catacombs. 

On  the  fhght  toCuzco,  seatson  the  left  side  of  the  plane 
gave  them  thrilling  views  of  the  snow-capped  Andes.  The 
many  Indians  of  Cuzco,  who  are  descendants  of  thelncas, 
wear  picturest]ue  native  dress.  This  interesting  city  is 
1 1,200  feet  abo\e  sea  level  and  many  of  the  travelers  were 
unable  to  adjust  and  became  ill.  Wilma  had  no  problems, 
thanks  to  \'itamin  B15. 

A  four-hour  train  ride  from  Cuzco  to  Machu  Pit  (  hu,  at 
8,000  feel,  provided  magnificent  \iews  of  the  I'rubamba 
River  and  gorge.  At  Machu  Picchu  they  climbed  about  the 
ruins,  trying  to  absorb  the  beauty  and  recapture  the  spirit

Preschool 

Program 


Mary  K.  Buckley  10 

Mary  K.  Buckley  70  who  is  Reading  Coordinator  of  the 
Public  Schools  in  District  20,  had  been  designated  to 
organize  and  put  into  effect  a  comprehensive  curriculum 
designed  to  give  valuable  preschool  training  to  under- 
pri\ileged  youngsters.  By  offering  experiences  in  math- 
ematics, social  studies,  language  arts,  music,  art  and 
science  at  this  early  level,  the  program  will  attempt  to  lay  a 
foundation  for  success  throughout  the  school  years.  The 
work  will  be  done  on  an  individual  basis  wherever 
possible,  and  in  small  groups. 

"Parent  participation  is  the  key  ingredient  for  the 
success  of  the  program,"  Mary  says.  "Parents  will  be 
oriented  in  health,  nutrition,  education,  social  services 
and  other  areas,  so  that  they  may  learn  how  best  to  serve 
their  children's  de\elopmental  needs.  Parents  will  work  in 
the  program  in  monitoring  and  guidance." 

Mary  points  to  the  18-year  study  conducted  by  the 
Carnegie  Commission,  of  the  Michigan  Preschool 
Program.  The  study  concluded  that  underprivileged 
children  who  have  experienced  quality  preschool  pro- 
grains  have  a  number  of  advantages  which  result  in  lower 
delinquencey  and  dropout  rates,  better  employment 
opportunities,  less  likelihood  of  committing  crime,  and 
less  de[3endence  on  welfare. 

Mary's  training  and  experience  qualify  her  for  this 
challenging  opportunity.  She  possesses  two  Master's 
degrees,  one  from  Brooklyn  College  in  Reading,  and  one 
from  Pace  University  in  Educational  Administration  and 
Supervision.  At  the  Dillon  Center,  on  a  graduate  assist- 
antship,  Mary  worked  for  two  years  with  four  and  five- 
year-olds.  She  has  taught  in  the  city  school  system  in 
elementary  and  junior  high  schools.  During  the  past  year 
and  a  half  she  has  served  as  an  adjunct  lecturer  in  Reading 
on  the  graduate  level  at  Brooklyn  College. 

In  1978  Mary  served  a  year  as  president  of  the  Brooklyn 
Reading  Council.  She  is  active  in  numerous  educational 
organizations,  and  is  on  the  executive  boards  of  Phi  Delta 
Kappa  at  Pace  and  the  Emerald  Society  of  the  Board  of 
Education. 


Elected 

President 


Sister  Mary  Joseph 


Nuala  McGann  Drescher  '58 

Early  in  May,  Nuala  McGann  Drescher  '58  was  elected 
to  the  Presidency  of  United  University  Professors'  Local 
2190  AFT.  Nuala  had  campaigned  hard  for  the  office  and 
was  jubilant  over  her  victory.  She  will  represent  17,000 
professors  and  academicians  of  the  State  Universities  of 
New  York  on  32  campuses. 

Dr.  Drescher  is  a  professor  of  20th  century  history  at 
Buffalo  State  University,  where  she  started  teaching  in 
1965.  Her  only  regret  is  that  she  will  have  to  give  up 
teaching.  The  office  of  President  demands  working  full 
time  and  Nuala  sees  a  busy,  demanding  schedule  ahead. 

A  graduate  of  St.  Joseph's  Class  of  1958,  Nuala  con- 
tinued to  study  at  Delaware  University  and  earned  a 
Master's  degree  in  American  History  in  1960.  While 
teaching  at  Nassau  Community  College,  she  continued 
work  towards  a  doctorate  in  the  same  subject,  which  she 
received  in  1965. 

This  June,  a  book  by  Dr.  Drescher  entitled  £ngmfer5 /or 
the  Public  Good  in  the  Buffalo  District  from  1775  to  1979, 
will  be  published  by  the  Government  Printing  Office, 
Washington  D.C.  Nuala  is  also  president  of  New  York 
State  Labor  History  Association. 


Sister  Mary  Joseph  Flandrau  SSND  '62 

It  was  the  suddeness  and  untimeliness  of  Sister  Mary 
Joseph's  (Betty  Flandrau)  death  that  stunned  her  family 
and  friends,  her  congregation,  her  students,  her  fellow 
classmates  of  the  class  of  1962  and  the  college  family.  We 
can't  look  to  others  for  consolation.  We  must  console 
ourselves  that  God  drew  her  to  Him  after  her  short  life 
which  she  lived  to  the  fullest  in  His  service  and  in  service 
to  others. 

Betty  Flandrau  was  a  gifted,  dynamic  person  whose  call 
was  to  the  religious  life  which  she  sought  immediately 
after  graduation.  Entry  was  denied  by  several  religious 
communities  because  of  diabetes,  but  in  1964  whe  was 
received  by  the  School  Sisters  of  Notre  Dame.  She  has  been 
a  valuable  mathematics  and  science  teacher  for  thirteen 
years  in  St.  Peter's  in  Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  and  for 
the  last  two  and  a  half  years  in  St.  Saviour's  in  Brooklyn. 
Sr.  Mary  Joseph  worked  overtime  with  her  students,  not 
only  in  their  studies  but  in  their  extracurricular  activities 
as  well,  particularly  in  music  and  sports. 

Betty's  mother  regrets  that  she  cannot  find  her  daughter's 
copy  of  the  1962  FOOTPRINTS  with  its  many  personal 
notes  from  classmates  and  friends.  If  it  turns  up,  will  you 
please  forward  it  to  the  Alumni  Office  of  the  College, 
Brooklvn  11205?

COAST   GUARD  OFFICER 


One  of  thirty  female  officers  in  the  United  States 
Coast  Guard,  Lorraine  Penfold  Appleton  is  presently 
on  a  three  year  assignment  in  Training  Development. 

After  receiving  her  Bachelor's  degree  in  History  from 
St.  Joseph's  College  in  1966,  Lorraine  attended  Wayne 
University  for  a  Master's  degree  in  History.  In  1968,  she 
went  to  Hawaii  and  joined  the  teaching  staff  of  St. 
Augustine's,  a  school  run  by  Maryknoll  sisters  where 
she  taught  English  to  Junior  high  students.  In  her  free 
time  she  attended  the  University  of  Hawaii  and 
ultimately  earned  a  Master's  degree  in  Educational 
Psychology. 

In  1973,  she  enlisted  in  the  Coast  Guard  Reserve 
program  and  was  sent  to  Yorktown,  Virginia,  for  a 
two-weeks'  training  period.  She  was  glad  for  this 
chance  to  visit  family  and  friends.  Lorraine  returned  to 
her  teaching  job  in  Hawaii  and  to  yeoman  duties  with 
the  Coast  Guard  on  weekends.  After  two  years,  she 
asked  for  and  received  a  commission  as  Ensign.  Aware 
of  her  capabilities,  the  Coast  Guard  assigned  her  duties 
in  the  development  and  implementation  of  various 
training  courses.  She  had  many  other  interesting 
experiences  such  as  cleaning  up  oil  spills,  boarding  a 
Russian  ship,  inspecting  water-front  facilities,  and 
supervising  the  loading  of  explosives. 

When  a  long-term  assignment  was  offered  her,  in 
1977,  Lorraine  took  a  sabbatical  leave  and  went  to 
Alameda,  California,  where  she  taught  two-week 
leadership  courses  to  groups  of  25  male  reservists,  both 
officer  and  enlisted.  She  thoroughly  enjoyed  this  duty. 
After  completion  of  the  assignment,  she  returned  once 
more  to  the  classroom  in  Honolulu. 

Looking  for  new  challenges,  she  visited  Coast  Guard 
headquarters  and  asked  for  duty  in  Washington.  She 
received  a  year's  assignment  which,  after  six  months, 
was  extended  to  three  years,  her  current  duty.  In 
addition,  under  Coast  Guard  spon.sorship  she  is  en- 
rolled at  Catholic  University  for  a  doctorate  in 
Educational  Technology.  These  courses  will  be  taken 
in  off-duty  hours. 

Lorraine  was  married  in  February  1981  to  Lt.  Kenneth 
Appleton,  USCG,  and  they  bought  a  house  in  Wash- 
ington. Ken  has  been  in  the  Coast  Guard  for  ten  years 
and  will  soon  be  promoted  to  Lieutenant  Commander. 
He  will  spend  the  next  two  years  as  a  full  time  student 
in  George  Washington  University,  studying  for  a 
Master's  degree  in  Public  Administration.

Intrepid  Traveler  continued 

that  inspired  these  buildings.  The  hotel  had  made  up  a 
picnic  lunch  for  them,  much  needed  refreshment,  for  the 
return  trip  took  five  hours.  The  train  had  to  climb  back  to 
Cuzco,  at  1 1 ,000  feet,  using  a  series  of  switchbacks  which 
provided  thrills  as  well  as  spectacular  scenery.  Wilma 
found  the  people  of  Peru  friendly  and  quick  to  please,  for 
they  like  North  Americans. 

After  the  excitement  of  Cuzco,  the  return  trip  to  the  U.S. 
seemed  uneventful.  Less  avid  travelers  might  have  been 
sated,  but  Wilma  and  Rose  Mary  hope  to  return  soon  to 
Brazil  and  Peru,  prepared  to  endure  discomfort  and 
hardship  for  the  sake  of  the  fantasdc  beauty  and  warm 
hospitality  they  found.

Ann  Sokolowski  '66  and  Michelle  Marye 

Held  in  the  loving  arms  of  her  mother  Ann 
Sokolowski,  four-month-old  Michelle  Marye  was 
christened  in  April  by  Father  Raymond  Leonard  in  the 
Church  of  the  Holy  Child  Jesus  and  was  welcomed  into 
the  Christian  community  by  a  group  of  more  than 
thirty  relatives  and  friends. 

Ann  first  inet  her  adopted  daughter  when,  on  March 
10th,  she  was  carried  off  the  plane  at  Washington 
airport.  Michelle  and  an  infant  boy  had  started  the  long 
trip  to  their  adoptive  parents  from  Salvador,  Brazil, 
that  morning.  They  flew  to  Bogata,  and  from  Bogata  to 
Miami,  then  on  to  Washington  where  Ann  waited. 
Within  a  few  hours  mother  and  daughter  took  the  last 
flight  of  the  journey  to  New  York  and  to  their  home  in 
Rego  Park.  "The  poor  little  infant  had  jet  lag,"  Ann 
says,  and  it  was  a  few  days  before  she  became  the 
smiling,  alert,  lovable  baby  she  is. 

For  some  time  Ann  had  thought  of  adopting  a  child, 
but  was  hesitant  about  single-parenting.  One  of  her 
co-workers  told  her  of  an  Adoption  Seminar.  Ann 
attended  it  and  her  thinking  changed  to  acting.  She  was 
referred  to  an  agency  in  Washington  and  after  some 
time  and  many  disappointments  was  told  of  the  baby  in 
Brazil.  Adoption  procedures  were  a  matter  of  course. 

The  little  girl  has  come  into  a  close  and  supportive 
family.  Godmother  for  Michelle  is  twelve-year-old 
Catherine  Mary,  the  adopted  daughter  of  Ann's  sister, 
Joan  Sokolowski  Comerford  '54.  After  the  baptism, 
relatives  and  friends  returned  to  Ann's  home  to  cele- 
brate. She  had  prepared  a  sumptuous  menu  of  inter- 
national foods,  Korean,  Brazilian,  Italian  and  Polish, 
and  an  exquisite,  colorfully  decorated  four-tiered  cake 
she  herself  had  made. 


Baby 
From 
Brazil 


The  many-sided  Ann  Sokolowski  graduated  from  St. 
Joseph's  in  1963,  continued  her  studies  for  a  year  at 
Fordham  and  became  an  enormously  popular  teacher 
of  Speech  and  Dramatics  at  John  Adams  High  School. 

Taking  a  break  from  teaching  in  1967  Ann  went  to 
Korea  where,  under  the  Department  of  Defense,  she  ran 
a  service  club  for  enlisted  men,  coordinating  U.S.O. 
tours,  concerts,  shows,  dances  and  other  recreation 
which  were  provided  out  of  the  earnings  of  the  Post 
Exchange.  While  there  she  shared  the  anxiety  and 
tensions  of  the  "Pueblo  Incident".  She  look  the 
opportunity  to  travel  to  Japan,  the  Philippines,  Hong 
Kong,  Bangkok,  Lampur  and  other  exotic  places. 

In  1 968  she  returned  to  teaching  at  John  Adams.  The 
next  year  she  added  the  duties  of  Assistant  Dean  and 
then  Dean.  Last  Septeinber,  to  fulfill  her  plans  of 
adoption,  Ann  took  sabbatical  leave. 

Little  Michelle  is  considered  a  resident  alien  until  a 
year  after  her  adoption  is  finalized,  when  she  will 
become  a  U.S.  citizen.  "But  shecan  never  be  president," 
Ann  says. 

Mother  and  daughter  are  doing  well.

Guest  Lecturer 


Steven  Cody  75 

Steven  Cody  75,  returned  to  St.  Joseph's  College  as  guest 
lecturer  on  March  18,  1981 .  His  lecture  on  Hypnotherapy 
and  Psychotherapy,  was  sponsored  by  the  Psychology 
Club  and  was  open  to  the  college  community.  The 
interested  audience  was  absorbed  by  the  subject  and 
fascinated  by  the  demonstration  on  hypnosis.  Steven  is  a 
doctoral  candidate  on  a  research  fellowship  in  Clinical 
Psychology  at  the  University  of  Connecticut.  In  June 
1977,  he  was  married  to  Evelyn  Pupplo  '73. 


Spoke  on 
Science  Careers 


On  March  18th,  Dr.  Eileen  Lanigan  Nictoloff  '64 
visited  the  Chemistry  Department  and  spoke  to  the 
students  about  careers  in  science.  Eileen's  experience  has 
been  very  diversified.  With  a  doctoral  degree  in  Organic 
Chemistry,  she  has  worked  in  biochemistry  and  clinical 
chemistry  in  univeristy,  hospital,  and  industrial  settings. 
The  students  enjoyed  her  presentation  of  the  work  she  is 
currently  doing  as  director  of  the  research  and  development 
in  the  immunoassay  laboratory  of  Squibb  &  Co.  in 
Princeton,  New. Jersey,  and  they  appreciated  her  sug- 
gestions concerning  career  possibilities  for  science  majors.

The  Commision  on  Higher  Education  requires  that 
members  of  the  Middle  States  Association  make  an 
intensive  study  of  its  educational  endeavors  every  ten 
years.By  doing  so,  an  institution  appraises  its  educational 
effectiveness  and  looks  for  means  to  strengthen  its  work  — 
primarily  its  intellectual  work  —  and  improve  its 
institution. 

St.  Joseph's  College  has  been  in  the  process  of  self-study 
since  Spring  1980  and  has  in\  olved  all  components  of  the 
college,  through  the  establishment  of  a  steering  committee, 
work  groups  and  a  timetable  for  their  activities.  Reports  of 
the  groups  are  now  being  examined  and  evaluated 
sytematically. 

Part  of  this  self-study  involves  a  survey  of  its  alumni.  In 
March  a  questionnaire  was  sent  to  every  fifth  member 
(alphabetually)  of  the  classes  of  1960  through  1979.  The

clue  to  the  whereabouts  of  our  lost?

how  blessed  we  all  are  in  the  friendships  made  so  long  ago  in  St,  Joseph's. 
"Faculty  and  alumnae  alike  reached  out  to  me  in  love  and  sympathy,  '34  is  a 
great  class;  I  heard  from  15  classmates,  some  of  whom  I  had  completely 
lost  contact  with  since  graduation.  God  surely  comports  us  in  times  of 
great  sorrow  not  only  through  the  outpouring  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  but  also 
through  our  human  loves.  My  deep  thanks  to  all  of  you  who  were  such 
willing  instruments  of  His  healing."  She  reports  that  Katharine  Rellly 
McHugh  was  looking  the  New  Jersey  school  system  in  1976,  had  twins,

Isabel  Farrell.  Mary  Pinter  Brandes  and  I  turned  up  at  our  45lh  reunion  at 
the  luncheon  but  we  enjoyed  our  talk  of  old  times  After  leaving  St. 
Joseph  s  Ethel  Chambers  Meldon  taught  on  Long  Island  for  many  years. 
On  the  advice  of  her  doctor,  she  moved  to  Florida  after  her  son's  birth.  Her

was  broken,  as  well  as  arms,  wrists  and  shoulders.  Through  a  miracle 
brought  about  by  prayers,  she  survived.  Her  son  insisted  that  she  leave 
Florida,  and  she  now  resides  in  Glendale.  Pa.,  where  her  family  had 
formerly  lived.  She  is  apparently  making  a  wonderful  comeback.  Found  at 
last  is  Rita  Klernan  Devine  who  moved  to  the  Washington  DC  area  when 
her  husband  Jack  was  transferred  there.  Rita  was  so  busy  with  her  family  (3 
sons  and  a  daughter  and  now  8  grandchildren)  and  with  selling  real  estate 
in  Wash..  Md  and  Virginia  since  1954,  that  she  has  been  out  of  touch.  Rita 
was  married  again  to  Walter  Oehrke  but  he  died  in  1973  soon  after  their 
marriage  For  real  estate  purposes,  Rita  uses  the  name  Devine  She  is  a  life

1941 

On  Saturday,  May  23rd,  we  celebrated  our  40th  anniversary  at  the 
home  of  Edith  Mullen  Bolsl  in  Old  Brookville.  L.  I .  Forty-two  members  of  the 
cfass  came  together  to  share  in  the  Eucharistic  celebration  offered  by 
Monsignor  Divlney  and  to  hear  the  homily  by  Father  Kllcoyne  about  the 
Early  Church  which  was  most  applicable.  Our  twelve  deceased  and 


deceased  faculty  members  were  remembered  at  Mass.  Afterwards  we 
shared  a  most  delicious  meal  and  memories  and  stories  of  the  past  that 
seems  so  very  recent  Margaret  Manning  and  Irene  Butler  Lozano  came 
from  California;  Terry  Gough  de  Tar  and  Eleanore  Sullvan  Smith  from 
Arizona  Eileen  Heenan  Caswell  (who  has  two  of  her  seven  sons  still  at 
home  with  her  and  Warren  in  Mentor  Ohio)  made  a  long  journey,  too.  A 
vision  of  old  times;  Terry  Gough  de  Tar  beeping  the  horn  as  she  arrived 
with  a  car  full  of  passengers  which  were  assembled  one  by  one  as  she 
plicked  up  Elvira  Goddard  Jahn  from  Suffern,  Margaret  Mary  Stankevlch 
Bolen  from  Paramas  and  Lorraine  Schuitels  Vaccarl  and  Gertrude  Manuel 
Evans  in  Forest  Hills,  and  the  car  was  tan  just  like  the  '37  model  we  all  knew 
so  well  years  ago!  Marjorle  Andresen  Breedls  had  sent  regrets  because  of 
her  son's  wedding  set  for  May  24th  and  then  we  received  news  of  the 
sudden  death  of  her  husband  Charles  a  week  or  so  before  Charles  had 
been  an  M.D.,  Professor  of  Pathology  and  had  recently  retired.  They  had 
moved  into  a  smaller  home  in  Drexel  Hill.  Pa.  recently.  Our  sincere  prayers 
go  out  to  Marjorle  and  her  children  to  the  end  that  God  will  give  them

Oxiey,  Class  of  1956  I  knew  Joyce  when  we  were  both  members  of  the 
Modern  Dance  Club.  I  later  met  her  in  Rome,  Italy,  where  she  had  made  her 
home.  She  danced,  dubbed  films  and  tutored  children  in  English.  Later,  I 
heard  that  she  had  returned  to  New  York  after  discovering  that  she  had 
incurable  cancer.  I  don't  know  just  when  she  died,  but  it  was  some  years 
ago.  I  share  this  information  with  the  class  of  '56  knowing  that  they  will  be 
glad  to  learn  that  she  had  traveled  and  grown  as  a  human  being  She  lived  a 
full  life  before  her  early  death."  We  were  very  sorry  to  hear  of  the  death  of

We  had  a  poor  turnout  at  the  Alumni  Luncheon  considering  it  was  our

WORLD 


STRING 


The  Szabos  and  their  five  children  have  been  kiting 
enthusiasts  for  years.  When  Dorothea  took  an  early 
retirement  from  teaching,  she  tinned  this  hobhv  into  a 
small  business  and  called  it  WORLD  ON  A  STRING.  .She 
and  C^huck  opened  a  kite  store  in  Northaiiipton. 
Mas.sachusetts. 

It  is  a  ilelight  to  step  inside  —  into  a  room  filled  with 
colorful  anil  varied  shaped  kites  on  all  fom  walls  and 
(ciling.  Looking  around  and  listening  to  the  enthusiastic 
kite  iidk,  you  know  y(ju  could  gel  hooked  on  this 
exhilaiatiiig  and  (hallenging  spoil.  The  kites  range  in 
price  Irom  lilty  nmecents  to  eighty  dollars,  and  come  Irom 
India,  China,  Japan,  England,  Germany,  Thailand  and 
our  own  IIS.\.  Kites  on  the  walls  in  the  shapes  of  dragons, 
butterllies,  birds,  fish,  saucers,  diairionds  and  stars  are  all 
in  1)1  ight  \aried  colors. 

Hanging  Irom  the  ceiling  was  a  kite  which  has  made  a 
majoi  impact  on  recreational  kiteflying,  a  non-rigid  air 
foil  ih.it  assumes  different  shapes  depending  on  changes 
in  wind  velocity.  It  was  designed  and  made  bv  Francis 
Rogallool  NASA  who  was  developing  the  drogues  used  to 
slow  down  the  returning  space  capsule.  The  flexible 
winged  kite  is  made  of  heavy  ,guage  mylar  and  has  no 
frame  and  Dorothea  assures  us  that  it  flies  well.  Another 
radical  develojjinent  is  the  Paiafoil  which  was  a  spin-off 
from  a  paiac  luile  devtloped  by  Doinina  Jalbcrt  of  the  U.S. 
Navy.  It  is  madi-ol  n\  Ion  but  instead  of  using  stic  ks  to  give 
it  shaix',  it  has  four  poi  kets  which  fill  with  air  to  give  it  an 
airfoil  shape  which  some  might  say  looks  like  a  flying 
mattiess.  Ibis  is  a  favorite  kite  with  wind  prosjx'ctors 
--those  scientists  and  engineers  who  study  winds  for  the 
development  of  new  energy  sources. 

Just  starting  her  second  year  in  business,  Dorothea  is 
pleased  that  the  store  is  doing  well  and  that  there  is  a 
growing  interest  in  kiting.  There  are  five  colleges  in  the 
area.  Smith,  Mount  Holyoke.  .\mherst.  Hampshire  and 
the  I 'ill  vei  sit  vol  Massac  huscMts.  Students  love  ihecoloihil 
kites  for  w.ill  dec  orations  as  well  as  for  an  afternoon  s  luii. 
Kite  contests  and  kite  flys  are  becoming  more  and  more 
popular  with  them. 

Last  Spring  at  the  New  England  .\i lists  Festival  and 
Showcase  at  the  Three  County  Fairgrounds  in 
Northampton,  where  200  artists  and  craftsmen  showed 
their  work,  Dorothea  gave  a  lecture  on  Kites  and  Kitec  raft 
and  conducted  a  Kite  Ciontest.  Entrants  biought  kites 
which  they  had  made  and  thev  were  judged  lor  artistic 
design,  c  raft  sinanship  and  ability  tolly  well.  .\  wards  were 
made  loi  the  siiiallest.  the  largest  and  the  most  beautiful. 

During  the  Summer.  Dorcjthea  conducted  a  Kite  Raceat 
the  Berkshire  B.illooii  Festival  in  CAimmingtoii.  Mass- 
achusetts. Two  exciting  events  were  the  Down  Wind  Race 
in  which  the  contestants  had  to  get  to  the  finish  line  while 
trying  to  get  their  kites  flying  higher  than  their  opponents. 
The  limed  .Mlitude  C  Contest  was  won  bv  the  nelson  who

Dorothea  Droesch  Szabo  '46 

flew  the  kite  to  the  greatest  altitude  within  a  spiecified 
period  of  time.  One  of  the  highlights  at  the  2.'J0th 
Anniversary  of  the  tcjwn  of  Brimfield  was  Dorothea's 
lecture  and  display.  Schools  throughout  the  area  request 
Dorothea's  lecture  as  an  educational  supplement  or  for 
spec  ial  programs. 

WORLlS  ON  A  .S  FRING  also  sells  books  written  by 
experts  on  the  histcjry  and  art  of  kite  making  and  kite 
flying.  Kit?  for  making  your  own  kites  are  very  popular. 
Dorothea  advertises  in  local  newspapers  and  college 
papers  throughcjut  the  area  and  over  local  radio. 

Dorothea  Droesch  was  a  Child  Study  major  and 
graduated  in  19  Hi.  .She  attended  Columbia  on  a  fellowship 
from  St.  Joseph's  —  working  in  the  Nursery  School  a  few 
hours  a  day  —  and  received  her  Master's  in  1948.  She  was 
married  in  August  of  that  year  and  taught  the  first  grade  in 
Franklin  Square  for  a  year,  when  Stephen  was  born.  The 
family  moved  to  New  Jersey  six  years  later  where  Chuck, 
an  industrial  engineer,  was -working.  In  1961,  his  work 
took  him  to  New  England  and  the  Szabos  moved  to 
Haidwick.  Massachusetts  where  Dorothea  went  back  to 
the  classroom,  teaching  in  elementary  school.  Four  of 
their  five  children,  Stephen,  Elizabeth,  Andrew  and 
Margaret  have  pursued  careers  in  science  and  technology. 
Catherine,  a  senior  in  high  school  is  planning  to  major  in 
music  when  she  enters  college  next  year.  She  plays  the 
French  Horn  in  Ycjung  People's  -Sympfiony,  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Springfield  Symphony  Orchestra,  as  well 
as  in  the  I'niversity  of  Massachusetts'  Wind  Ensemble.

"Studying  there  is  half  the  fun!"  This  is  the  slogan  of 
Elderhostel,  a  network  of  over  400  colleges,  universities 
and  other  educational  facilities  in  the  L'nited  States  and 
overseas,  which  offer  inexpensive,  short-term  academic 
programs  foi  older  adults.  It  is  open  to  people  over  60  or  to 
those  whose  spouse  qualifies.  Singles,  widowed  and 
divorced  also  attend.  Most  .sessions  begin  on  a  Sunday 
evening  and  end  the  following  Saturday  morning  and  are 
limited  to  30  -  40  persons.  The  weekly  charge  per  person  is 
S140  for  room,  board  and  classes,  as  well  as  many  extra- 
curricular activities. 

This  brief  description,  excerpted  from  the  Elderhostel 
catalog,  cannot  begin  to  convey  the  variety  of  experiences 
-  educational,  social  and  recreational  -  made  possible  by 
this  program  which  was  inspired  by  the  youth  hostels  of 
Europe.  Lectures  are  scheduled  so  that  hostelers  may  lake 
advantage  of  the  three  classes  that  are  offered  each  day. 
There  are  no  exams,  no  grades,  no  homework  but  lots  of 
class  participation  by  "students"  from  many  walks  of  life. 

My  husband  and  I  first  attended  the  program  in  the 
summer  of  1 980.  We  picked  a  prep  school  in  Maine  which 
offered  courses  that  appealed  to  both  of  us  :  American 
Foreign  Policy  Issues,  Introduction  to  Astronomy  and  a 
hands-on  course  in  .Sculpture  a  stimulating  curriculum. 
The  nightly  extra-curricular  activities  at  Hebron  were 
outstanding.  We  were  school-bused  to  a  Shakespearean 
Theater  and  a  Chamber  Music  Festival  in  nearby  \  illages. 
On-campus  entertainment  was  equally  enjoyable.  And 
there  were  always  a  couple  of  bridge  games  to  j oin  or  kibi u 
and,  of  course,  happy  hours  in  the  "dornis".  Accomo- 
dations were  simple  but  comfortalbe  and  the  meals  were 
surprisingly  good. 

Summer  '81,  we  returned  to  Maine  to  attend  an 
environmental  studies  college  in  a  relatively  rustic  setting. 
There  were  courses  in  science  and  ethics,  forestry, 
drawing/painting  and  oral  history.  The  latter  class  was 
particularly  interesting  since  participants  had  been  video- 

continued 


Kathleen  Dugan  died  on  November  6th  after  a  protracted 
illness.  Though  she  was  a  single  woman  with  few 
relatives,  the  church  was  filled  with  alumni  and  friends 
who  came  to  celebrate  the  Mass  of  Christian  Burial  at  St. 
Partricks,  in  Brooklyn. 

Many  memories  of  Kathleen  were  exchanged.  She  came 
to  (he  college  in  the  second  semester  of  freshman  year  from 
a  large  high  school.  Bay  Ridge,  where  she  had  been  a 
leader.  She  was  perplexed  by  the  small  classes  at  St. 
Joseph's  and  the  informal  atmosphere,  but  soon  responded 
to  the  friendly  efforts  of  her  classmates  to  integrate  her  into 
their  freshman  unit. 

From  the  outset,  Kathleen  was  among  the  first  to  offer  to 
help  in  any  activity.  In  those  days,  unifoiTns  for  the 
athletes  were  hand  made  as  were  costumes  for  the  drama 
club.  Kathleen  was  both  seamstress  and  participant  in 
sports  and  drama  —  Shakespearian  and  Greek  plays.  All 
her  classmates  recalled  an  incideni  in  Professor  McEntee's 
History  class.  Kathleen  was  settling  into  her  seat,  when  a 
bag  of  candy  she  was  clutching,  broke,  scattering  the  small 
pieces  all  over.  Prof.  McEntee  asked  about  all  the 
commotion  and  Kathleen  exclaimed.  "Oh,  my  pearls!" 
With  that  all  the  girls  dived  to  retrieve  the  sweets. 

Fiercely  loyal  to  St.  Joseph's,  Kathleen  made  many 
friends  amoung  the  students  and  faculty.  This  trait  was  a 
part  of  her  life  in  her  career  as  a  teacher,  in  her  many 
contacts  in  volunteer  work  and  in  her  travels.  How  many 
trips  did  she  make  to  Ireland? 

Kathleen  helped  in  the  ValoisGuildasan  Auxiliary  and 
she  belonged  to  a  group  at  the  Visitation  Monastery  which 
made  \esimenis  for  die  nussions.  .\i  phonathons  and  all 
alumni  funt  tions,  Kathleen  (ould  be  counted  on  to  serve 
with  cheerfulness  and  a  great  sense  of  humor.  We  recall 
parliculary  her  work  with  the  Golden  Jubilee  celebration 
of  the  college.  In  recent  years,  as  class  reporter,  she 
faithfully  produced  a  column  for  '24  for  every  issue  of 
Alumnagram.  Kathleen  didn't  like  to  work  for  big 
organizations,  but  she  ne\er  ceased  to  do  a  lot  for  small 
events  and  for  many  individuals.  We  remember!

will  be  someone  else's  story  to  tell.  Since  we  now  have  a

vacation  and  a  family  reunion!

BANKER 


Christine  Giangreco 

Oil  November  7th,  at  the  end  of  the  Ahjiiini  I.muheon

to  those  companies,  both  Nordic  and  American,  whic  hare 
investing  in  or  trading  between  the  rniied  Slates  and

painstakingly  grinding  the  6"  mirror  to  near  perfection. 
With  an  interest  in  math  and  science  in  high  schcxil,  it 
seems  strange  that  she  took  dual  majors  in  History  and

cajwbilities.  Clhristine  recei\ed  her  Bachelor's  degree,

within  Western  European  territory.  This  invoked  annual 
travel  to  the  countries  involved,  visiting  corporate  and 
government  clients  as  well  as  correspondent  banks.  She 
developed  loan  op[)oi  luniiies  both  overseas  and  domestic, 
presented  loan  packages  to  internal  credit  committees, 
working  with  a  variety  of  country  groupings  because  of 
language  fluency.  Christine  is  proficicni  in  C.eiman  .iiid

MTA  Directorof  Real  Estate 


Marcy  Boyle  '6*? 

Late  last  year,  Marsilia  A.  Boyle  became  the  new 
Director  of  Real  Estate  for  the  Metropolitan  Trans- 
portation Authority  which  operates  the  NYC  Transit 
system,  ConRail,  the  T-ong  Island  Rail  Road,  the 
Triborough  Bridge  and  Tunnel  Authority  and  Stewart 
and  Republic  Airports.  All  real  estate  matters  must  be 
approved  and  guided  by  the  MTA  Board  for  which  Marcy 
de\elops,  manages  and  implements  policy.  She  hopes  to 
make  MTA's  real  estate  management  complementary  to 
and  supportive  of  the  transportation  function.  In  addition 
to  producing  revenue  for  the  system,  Marcy  hopes  to 
incorporate  development  of  retail  opportunities  into 
station  enhancement.  For  example  MTA's  Adopt-A- 
Station  program,  in  conjuction  with  "Sweet  14",  a 
development  corporation  of  private  merchant  and 
community  groups,  reno\ated  the  14th  Street  I'nion 
Square  subway  station.  The  MTA  and  Sweet  14  are  now 
working  together  to  develop  retail  opportunities  at  the 
station  which  reinforces  the  station  reno\ation.  This 
approach  can  be  used  in  conjunction  with  the  station 
modernization  efforts  of  MTA's  recently  enacted  5  year 
capital  improvement  program. 

Marcy  believes  that  concessions  in  subway  and  com- 
muter rail  stations  can  benefit  from  the  heavy  pedestrian 
traffic  which  passed  through  stations  every  day.  They  can 
bean  asset  to  the  transit  system  similiar  to  Montreal's  vast 
underground  shopping  network. 

Duties  of  the  Real  Estate  Director  mclude  more  than 
subway  and  commuter  rail  station  real  estate.  Marcy  and 
her  staff  of  25  also  handle  the  rental  of  private  property  for 
MTA  use,  the  administration  of  transit  advertising 
contracts,  and  the  leasing  of  railroad  property  by  outside 
concerns.  They  also  make  decisions  on  property  rights 
and  acquisitions. 

The  job  is  a  challenge  and  Marcy  hopes  to  see  positive 
improvements,  under  the  able  leadership  of  MTA 
Chairman,  Richard  Ravitch. 

In  her  previous  position  as  Deputy  Commissioner  of  the 
New  York  City  Deparmient  of  Ports  and  Terminals, 
Marcy  headed  the  city's  waterfront  development  program, 
with  emphasis  in  administration  of  real  estate  and 
development.  It  entailed  the  planning,  engineering  and 
economic  development  programs,  as  well  as  coordination 
with  oserlapping  jurisdictions.  Manager  of  a  70  member 
staff,  Marcy  was  responsible  for  a  S50  million  capital 
budget   program   for   waterfront  and   tenriinal   market 

properties.  ,

NEW   LAWYER 


Richard  Sparaco,  a  graduate  cum  laude  of  the  class  of 
1978,  was  accepted  by  four  law  schools  at  that  time.  He 
chose  Rutgers.  With  the  aid  of  a  student  loan  and  a  part- 
time  job,  Richard  finished  his  studies  and  received  a  J.D. 
from  Rutgers  in  May  1981.  He  passed  the  bar  in  both  New 
Jersey  and  Pennsylvania  and  now  works  in  the  Office  of 
Administrati\e  Law  in  Trenton,  New  Jersey. 

When  he  graduated  from  Xaverian  High  School, 
Richard  chose  St.  Joseph's  Cbllege  because  of  its  small 
classes  and  its  friendly  atiriosphere.  He  enjoyed  the  close 
relationship  with  fellow  students  and  faculty.  The 
education  he  received  at  St.  Joseph's,  he  asserts  was 
excellent  in  preparing  him  for  his  arduous  law  studies  and 
for  his  law  career.  Richard  moved  from  Brooklyn  to 
Camden,  New  Jersey,  to  attend  law  school;  he  loved  the 
Philadelphia  South  Jersey  area  and  decided  to  begin  his 
practice  of  law  there. 


MTA  continued 

At.  St.  Joseph's  College,  Marcy  majored  in  Social 
Science  and  received  her  degree  in  1969.  In  August  1970, 
she  received  a  Master's  of  Public  Administration  degree 
from  the  State  University  of  New  York  in  Albany, 
Graduate  School  of  Public  Affairs.  She  was  in  the  New 
York  State  Senate  Internship  Program  from  1970-71  when 
she  became  a  Research  Assistant  to  the  New  York  State 
Senate  Committee  on  Health.  Continuing  as  a  Research 
Analyst  Marcy  researched,  wrote  and  edited  four  rep)orts 
on  New  York  City's  Housing  and  Development  Admin- 
istration. She  then  worked  with  Governor  Rockefeller's 
Commission  of  Critical  Choices  for  Americans  which 
studied  problems  facing  the  nation  as  it  entered  its  Third 
Century. 

The  following  year,  1975,  Marcy  was  a  member  of 
Governor-Elect  Carey's  Transition  Team  researching  state 
agencies  and  producing  reports  as  background  infor- 
mation for  him.  Her  next  year's  experience  in  working 
with  the  Commissioner  of  New  York  State's  Department 
of  Social  Services  included  directing  the  Title  XX 
Program.  Another  highly  significant  position  was  Marcy's 
year  as  special  assistant  to  the  Executive  Director  of  New 
York  State  Emergency  Financial  Control  Board. 

In  1978,  Marcy  began  her  affiliation  with  New  York 
City  as  Special  Assistant  to  the  Commissioner  of  the 
Department  of  Environmental  Protection,  where  she 
formulated  a  reorganization  plan  to  consolidate  bureaus 
imder  centralized  control. 

When  she  was  a  student  at  St.  Joseph's,  Marcy  was  active 
in  the  Political  Affairs  Club,  serving  as  its  president  and 
was  also  on  the  Student  Senate.  From  September  1977  to 
June  1981,  Marcy  was  a  valuable  member  of  the  Alumni 
Executive  Board. 

A  committed  Brooklynite,  Marcy  lives  not  far  from  St. 
Joseph's  in  Greenpoint  where  she  is  active  in  community 
affairs  serving  as  a  member  of  Community  Board  1  and  as 
its  chairperson  from  1974-76,  the  youngest  chairperson  in 
the  City's  history. 


White 


Hart  Inn 


}oh)i  and  Elyse  Deublein  Harney  '32 

Salisbury,  Connecticut,  is  a  quiet  town  of  typical  New 
England  charm,  and  charming,  too,  is  the  White  Hart  Inn 
nestled  at  the  crossroads.  For  the  past  twenty-one  years, 
John  and  Elyse  Deublein  Harney  have  been  managers  and 
part  owners  of  this  "Inn  for  All  Seasons."  It  was  originally 
owned  by  Henry  Ford,  whose  sons  attended  Hotchkiss, 
one  of  the  five  prestigious  preparatory  schools  in  this 
beautiful  countryside.  The  Inn  is  attractive  and  homey 
with  a  gracious  dining  room  and  its  popularity  attests  to 
its  excellent  cuisine. 

When  a  student  at  St.  Joseph's  Elyse  thought  nothing  of 
commuting  from  New  Jersey  to  Brooklyn,  with  Nancy 
Billings  Bra/ill,  another  Jerseyite.  She  recalls  with 
enthusiasm,  the  faculty,  the  courses  and  her  fellow- 
students,  and  regretted  only  that  her  commutation  time 
curtailed  more  in\olvenient  with  extra-curricular  ac- 
tivities. She  graduated  in  1952,  and  in  February  1953,  Elyse 
married  John  Harney  who  had  received  his  B.S.  Degree 
from  the  Hotel  .School  of  C^ornell  llniversity. 

Having  worked  in  several  estabilishments,  the  Harneys 
became  part-owners  and  managers  of  The  White  Hart  Inn 
in  I960.  They  and  their  children,  John,  Michael  and  Keith 
became  New  Englanders  and  Lyse,  now  16  and  Paul.  13, 
were  born  there. 

White  Hart  Inn  was  named  after  a  White  Hart  Inn  in 
Salisbury,  England.  The  Harneys  exchanged  greetings 
and  felicitations  with  that  Inn  on  its  300th  Anniversary 
which  also  marked  the  100th  anniversary  of  its  American 
counterpart. 

As  you  step  from  the  spacious  porch  of  the  Inn  into  the 
large  living  room,  you  see  a  Country  Store  on  the  left. 
During  the  World's  Fair  it  had  been  set  up  in  the  New 
England  Pavillion  by  the  Dunphy  family,  long-time  New 
Englander  store  owners.  The  Harneys  acquired  it  at  the 
close  of  the  fair  and  brought  it  up  to  the  inn,  'lock,  stock 
and  barrel."  Among  the  many  items  you  find  as  you 
browse  through  the  room,  are  Sarum  Teas,  The  .Sarum 
Tea  Company  is  owned  by  the  Harneys  and  packaged  by 
John  Harney,  an  exjx-rt  tea  taster  and  blender.  "Sarum"  is 
the  old  Roman  name  for  Salisbury. 

Elyse  has  been  active  in  her  commuity.  She  was  Vice- 
Chairman  of  the  .School  Board  and  a  selectman  for  the 
town  of  Salisbury.  She  has  taught  catechism  in  St.  Mary's 
parish  for  twenty  years  and  is  involved  in  a  pilot  program

GOAL  REALIZED 


Emilia  Longobardo  Govan  always  wanted  to  be  a 
lawyer,  but  circumstances  delayed  that  dream  for  nearly 
seventeen  years.  In  1975,  a  friend  of  hers  was  applying  for 
the  Law  .School  Admission  test,  and  urged  Emilia  to  apply 
also.  The  deadline  was  the  next  day  and  with  no  time  to 
procrastinate,  she  secured  the  application,  filled  it  in  and 
ran  to  the  post  office  to  mail  it.  In  1976,  Emilia  was 
accepted  by  Georgetown  University  Law  Center,  from 
which  she  was  graduated  four  years  later  with  a  J.D.  cum 
laude.  On  June  19,  1981  she  was  admitted  to  the  D.C.  bar. 

How  did  she  manage  to  hold  down  an  important 
daytime  job,  attend  classes  at  night,  work  on  the  law 
review,  care  for  a  husband,  two  sons  and  an  invalid  mother 
and  do  household  chores?  "I'm  certainly  not  a  'sufjer- 
woman.'"  she  replies.  "There  was  no  way  I  could  have 
done  it  without  the  support  of  my  family.  Each  person 
contributes  to  the  household  and  each  has  a  sense  of 
mutual  responsibility  to  the  family  unit.  If  I  didn't  have  a 
family  that  shares  resfxinsibilities,  I  could  not  have 
managed." 

A  graduate  of  the  class  of  1958,  Emilia  earned  a  Master's 
in  Political  .Science  at  Columbia.  Then  followed  a  variety 
of  experiences:  from  teaching  political  science  at  Trinity 
College,  to  public  interest  work,  to  project  director  at  the 
Congressional  Office  of  Technology  Assessment,  then  to 
senior  staff  positions  with  theU.S.  Department  of  Energy, 
and  to  her  last  post  with  DOE  before  joining  Pepfjer, 
Hamilton  &  Scheetz,  a  law  firm  in  Washington,  D.C.  as 
Acting  Director  of  Environment  &  Safety,  Office  of  Fossil 
Energy. 

In  an  earlier  edition  of  Alumnagram,  was  an  account  of 
the  arduous  work  done  by  Emilia  and  her  husband,  Jim, 
to  oppose  construction  of  1-66  highway  in  Arlington 
resulting  in  the  favorable  decision,  "certificate  denied" 
and  in  an  award  as  "Washingtonian  of  the  Year"  by 
Washington  Magazine. 

The  Govans  still  reside  in  Arlington,  Virginia.  Jim  is 
with  the  Office  of  Legislative  Affairs  at  the  Agency  for 
International  Develojsement  (AID).  Their  sons,  Michael 
18  and  Stephen  16  show  no  interest  in  the  law  as  a 
profession.  Michael  attends  W'illiams  College  and  intends 
to  major  in  Fine  Arts  and  become  an  artist.  Stephen  is  a 
junior  at  O'Connell  High  School  in  Arlington  and  is 
sports  editor  of  the  school  pajier. 

Emilia  has  little  time  for  hobbies,  but  Jim  and  she  enjoy 
going  to  the  opera.  She  is  happy  to  be  working  for  Pepfjer 
and  finally  to  practice  law,  her  long-desired  goal. 


White  Hart  continued 

of  sponsoring  George  Noonan,  a  graduate  of  Yale  Divinity 
School  as  Youth  Minister  to  serve  the  young  people  in  the 
private  schools  and  parishes  in  the  area.  This  is  supported 
by  five  parishes  and  by  private  funding  and  has  the

had  no  prospects  of  going  to  college.  Equipped  with 
secretarial  skills,  she  took  a  postition  with  the  Hotel  New 
Yorker  in  July  1959.  As  executive  secretary,  she  assisted  the 
Director  of  Sales  in  Administration  of  Trade  Shows.  By 
phone  and  personal  contact,  she  developed  new  clientele,

At  the  Annual  Merit  Award  Program  for  employees  of 
the  Queens  Children's  Psychiatric  Center,  on  May  6, 1981, 
the  following  statement  was  read. 

No  loss  so  overwhelmed  us  as  much  as  [he  deaih  just  a  few 
weeks  ago  of  a  truly  beloved  staff  member,  Dr.  Lillian  Dooher. 
Lillian  possessed  in  full  measure  all  of  those  qualities  we  are 
honoring  today  in  her  fellow  employees.  In  1964,  she  left  a 
busy  pediatric  practice  to  join  the  Children's  Unit  and  became 
a  psychiatrist,  and  worked  with  us  since  then. 

Two  years  ago.  Dr.  Dooher  was  presented  the  Director's 
Award  to  honor  her  work,  which  she  received  with  typical 
humility  and  unassuming  gratitude.  Outstanding  work  was 
standard  practice  for  Lillian  and  she  worked  to  develop  such 
excellence  in  other  staff. 

.\f  ter  her  death,  we  searched  for  a  way  to  honor  her  memory 
and  to  keep  her  with  us.  a  way  that  could  be  shared  by  all 
employees  and   friends.   We  decided   to  substitute  for  the 
Director's  .\ward.  The  Lillian  Dooher  Memorial  Award,  as  an 
annual  memorial  to  her.  an  award  to  be  given  to  each  year's 
outstanding  employee  who  best  demonstrates  Dr.  Dooher's 
qualitites  of  love  for   the  children,  competence,   loyalty, 
dedication,  a  person  loved  in   turn  by  the  children  and 
resfjected  by  fellow  employees  and  the  children's  families. 
Dr.  Dooher  was  very  much  interested  and  involved  in 
the  planning  of  a  new  unit  which  expands  the  Center's 
Early  C^hildhood  Program  to  include  children  from  5  to  8 
years  of  age  as  well  as  from  3  to  5.  When  Dr.  Dooher  died  in 
April  1981,  it  seemed  a  natural  progression  to  honor  her 
memory  by  naming  this  new  unit  for  her.  The  Lillian  R. 
Dooher  L'nit  was  opened  on  July  1981  and  is  a  most  fitting 
tribute  to  a  doctor  that  everyone  loved. 

A  Science  major,  Lillian  Dooher  graduated  from  St. 
Joseph's  in  1945.  she  attended  Long  Island  College  of 
Medicine  and  received  her  M.D.  in  1949.  She  practiced  as  a 
pediatrician.  Lillian  married  Arthur  J.  Seaton.  Their 
daughter,  Beth,  is  studying  medicine  in  Mexico.

Grace  Dolan,  CSJ.  She  also  attended  a  Meditation  Session 
given  by  Sr.  Grace  through  the  Newman  Cllub.  Both  were 
of  profound  influence. 

Lillian  joined  the  PTA  of  the  school  her  children 
attended,  and  with  some  very  successful  programs,  built 
up  a  ti  emendous  enthusiasm  among  the  parents  of  Rocky 
Point  School.  She  was  liaison  between  the  school  and 
community  and  as  co-chairman,  helped  to  build  the  new 
K-3  school.  Lillian  contiirued  her  involvement  in  edu- 
cation in  the  summer  of  1975  when  she  worked  for  the 
Children's  Television  Workshop  Research  Deparmient. 
As  Administrative  Assistant,  she  researched  children's 
education  material  for  media  purposes  and  also  acted  as 
hostess,  on  behalf  of  the  company's  director,  to  business 
associates,  dignitaries  and  government  officials.  In  this 
job,  Lillian  contributed  to  new  studies  on  Teenage 
Interests  and  on  Pre-Schoolers  Who  Read. 

After  the  family  moved  back  to  the  city  in  1976,  Lillian 
Abrahamsen  Del  Seni  enrolled  in  St.  Joseph's  College aird 
majored  in  Social  Science  with  emphasis  on  Political 
Science.  She  received  her  degree  summa  cum  laude  and 
was  chosen  by  the  class  to  be  \'aledictorian.  (Coincident- 
ally  that  year,  her  daughter.  Dawn,  wasSalutatorianof  the 
8th  grade  and  son,  Don,  was  the  6th  grade  valedictorian! ) 
She  loved  St.  Joseph's  for  its  small  classes  where  everyone

Museum  Director      REGINAAWARD 


Jacqueline  Reisert 

Jackie  Reisert  75  came  in  to  see  Sr.  Joseph  Damien  on 
November  10th  to  go  over  some  details  of  an  Exhibit  on 
the  American  Indian  which  will  be  shown  at  the  college 
beginning  February  18th  next  year,  and  which  she  is 
c(xjrdinating.  She  told  us  that  she  had  just  accepted  a 
position  as  Museum  Director  of  the  State  Historical 
Society  of  North  Dakota,  in  Bismarck. 

This  modern,  dynamic  museum  opened  its  doors  last 
February  and  was  successful  beyond  exfjectation.  The 
master  plan,  prepared  with  the  help  of  a  Boston  museum 
consultant,  projects  a  ten-year  period  of  constructing 
permanent  museum  displays.  Jackie  is  well  cjualified  for 
the  challenge. 

Jacqueline  Reisert  graduated  from  St.  Josep>h's  in  1975 
with  a  B.A.,  cum  laude.  in  History.  She  continued  studies 
at  .St.  John's  I'niversity  as  a  graduate  research  assistant 
and  earned  a  Master's  degree  with  honors  in  American 
Political  History  in  1977.  Jackie  also  holds  a  Professional 
Certificate  from  St.  John's  in  African  Studies.  She  was  an 
adjunct  professor  of  .\merican  History  there,  from 
February  to  September  1978. 

What  can  you  do  with  a  degree  in  History?  Jackie  heard 
that  question  so  often,  but  was  determined  to  use  history 
in  her  life  work.  She  looked  for  "history"  jobs  and  applied 
to  several  museums.  The  Museum  of  the  American  Indian 
interviewed  her.  She  followed  her  instinct  to  start  there  as 
assistant  to  the  Development  Officer(in  April  1979),  for 
there  was  the  possibility  of  getting  into  research  and 
exhibition  work.  The  opportunity  was  not  long  in 
coming.  She  became  Exhibit  Cioordinator  Curator  of 
"Our  Hearts  Swell  with  Pride:  A  Legacy  of  Creat  Indians" 
in  January  1980,  and  in  April  was  made  Administrative 
Assistant  to  the  Director.  1981  marked  the  65th  anniversary 
of  the  Museum  and  Jackie  was  Project  Coordinator  of 
"Glimpses  at  65"  —  an  exhibit  which  ran  from  May  to 
December,  as  a  65th  Anni  versiiry  Celebration.  The  Museum 
currently  has  an  exhibition  "The  Ancestors"  which  is  on 
tour  opening  in  Peking,  China  on  November  19th.  It  will 
be  in  Shanghai  for  a  month,  next  February. 

A  true  history  buff,  Jaccjueline  has  active  memberships 
in  New  York  Histoiical  Network;  American  Assocation  of 
Museums;  New  York  Women's  History  Conference; 
C^onference  on  New  York  State  History;  Regional 
Conference  of  Historical  Agencies;  New  York  Historical 
Society;  Naticjiial  Historical  Society;  Organization  of

A  Letter  From  Germany 

Dear  Winnie, 

I  just  finished  reading  the  Summer  1981  Alumnagram 
and  realized  how  much  time  has  gone  b'V'  since  I  "touched 
home  plate."  So  rather  than  put  it  off  until  tomorrow,  I 
thought  I'd  sit  down  and  bring  you  up  to  date  on  another 
'69  classmate. 

We  find  ourselves  still  living  in  Germany,  onl'y  now  we 
have  changed  our  location  to  the  Northern  area  around 
the  city  of  Bremen.  When  we  first  came  to  "Deutschland" 
in  the  Spring  of  1977  we  came  as  a  military  family  and 
settled  in  Bavaria,  about  an  hour  from  Nurnberg.  Our 
daughter  Kristin  Anne,  was  only  2  12  years  old  then,  and 
yesterday  she  celebrated  her  7th  birthday!  Our  son,  Brian 
Patrick,  was  born  in  Nurnberg  on  June  19,  1979,  and  he 
just  celebrated  his  2nd  brithday  in  June. 

While  in  Bavaria,  Pat  and  I  used  every  available 
moment  to  absorb  the  cultural  opportunities  and  traveling 
expertise  from  our  German  friends  and  neighbors.  We 
polished  our  downhill  skiing  techniques  on  the  Austrian 
and  Bavarian  Alpine  slopes  and  managed  to  visit  several 
countries,  among  them:  England,  Italy,  Switzerland, 
Yugoslavia,  Czechoslavakia,  Spain.  East  Germany  and 
Turkey.  In  addition,  we  travelled  about  southern 
Germany,  sampling  the  regional  beers  and  wines  and 
enjoying  the  freshly  baked  breads  and  Bavarian  grilled 
"wursts."  We  came,  in  tiine,  tofeelquiteat  home  with  the 


particular  Bavarian  way  of  life  and  their  spiecial  relaxed 
enjoyment  of  it.  The  music  of  Oktoberfest,  and  the 
singing  the  klinking  of  liter-size  beer  steins  still  rings  in 
our  ears. 

Then,  just  as  we  had  come  to  feel  we  had  the  Bavarian 
dialect  down  to  semi-perfection,  we  found  ourselves 
inoving  northward  to  Garlstedt,  twenty  minutes  from 
Bremen.  This  turn-about  came  last  year  when  Pat  resigned 
his  Army  position  in  order  to  enter  a  Civil  Service  position 
as  an  Education  Counselor.  For  some  time,  we  had 
realized  that  Pat  would  have  little  opportunity  to  utilize 
his  Master's  Degree  in  Guidance  and  Counseling  as  an 
Armor  Officer  in  the  Military.  So  we  decided  to  take  the 
leap  here  in  Europe  and  see  the  sights  in  Northern 
Germany  and  Scandinavia. 


Pat  and  Kale  Grai'es  Mestes  with  Kristin  and  Brian 

As  an  Education  Counselor,  Pat  advises  soldiers  and 
officers  and  civilians  as  to  their  educational  opportunities 
in  Europe.  There  is  a  network  of  schools  and  colleges 
throughout  Europe  assisting  people  in  completing  high 
school  and  college  degrees. 

As  for  myself,  I  have  kept  very  busy  as  a  Field 
Representative  for  Boston  University's  Graduate  Overseas 
Programs,  and  as  a  substitute  teacher  in  the  American 
Eleirientary  Schools.  I've  also  taught  a  Basic  Skills 
Program  in  Math  to  soldiers  who  needed  to  upgrade  their 
math  abilities  in  order  to  enter  a  high  school  completion 
prograin  or  take  the  G.E.D.  (high  school  equivalency  test). 
At  the  present  time,  I  am  substitute  teaching  in  Kristin's 
Elementary  School  and  teaching  five-week  evening  courses 
for  Big  Bend  Community  College  of  the  State  of  Wash- 
ington. These  courses  are  in  English  Literture,  English 
Composition,  Advanced  Communications  and  Basic 
Grammar.  (Thanks  to  all  those  electives  I  took  with  Sr. 
Mary  Florence  and  Sr.  Grace  Marie!)  I've  also  recently 
become  certified  by  City  Colleges  of  Chicago  to  teach 
college  courses  in  Education,  Psychology  and  Social 
Concepts.  (Thanks  to  iny  Master's  in  Education: 
Counseling  &  Guidance!) 

Now  you  may  think  all  work  and  no  play  makes  the 
Mentes  a  dull  fainily.  Not  so.  We  are  about  to  disembark 
"mit  kinder"  for  a  two-week  vacation  in  Mallorca,  Spain. 
You  see,  the  one  thing  other  than  family  and  friends  and 
an  occasional  Brooklyn  pizza  that  weiniss  most  around 
here  is  -  the  sun!  Contrary  to  popular  opinion,  Germany 
and  most  of  northern  Europe  is  normally  cool,  damp  and 
often  foggy.  All  tans  inust  be  imported!! 

"Hi"  to  alumni  and  friends.  Drop  in,  if  you're  in  the 
neighborhood.  Or  write  to  me.

Notes  for  the  class  of  '24  are  conspicuous  by  their  absence— for  our 
class  agent  is  no  longer  with  us,  Kathleen  Dugan's  loyalty  and  faithfulness 
to  us  and  to  this  task  is  but  a  small  reflection  of  her  magnanimous  spirit  in 
the  performance  of  all  the  tasks,  big  and  small,  which  she  undertook.  We 
shall  miss  you,  Kathleen.

reading  of  the  achievements  and  accomplishments  of  all  the  Alumnae.  It 
gives  me  a  real  "gung-ho"  feeling  about  our  Alma  Mater,  and  it  brings 
forcefully  to  mind  all  that  I  missed  during  the  years  I  was  not  in  touch.  I

Members  of  our  class  enjoyed  a  number  of  get-togethers  during  the  past 
months.  In  August,  we  visited  Mary  Whelan  Phelan  at  her  summer  home  in 


Breezy  Point  for  a  delightful  luncheon  and  planning  session  for  our  fiftieth 
anniversary  on  Saturday,  April  24. 1982.  Save  the  date!  Those  from '32  who 
joined  Mary  were  Margaret  Cooney.  Edna  Dawklns  McDonald,  Katherlne 
Kelly  Carlln,  Anne  McCormack  Fennessy,  Josephine  McKeon  Broad, 
Winifred  McMahon  and  Mary  White  Kearney  Mary  Kearney  and  Kay  Carlln 
volunteered  to  help  plan  the  liturgy  for  our  Jubilee  Mass.  Mary  Phelan  is 
the  general  chairperson.  On  September  28,  we  remembered  our  fourteen 
deceased  members  at  a  Mass  at  the  Fort  Hamilton  Chapel,  and  then  had 
lunch  at  the  Hamilton  House.  It  was  a  great  joy  to  see  Angela  Deegan 
Purcell  and  Gladys  Worthley  again.  Others  present,  in  addition  to  those 
attending  the  August  party,  were  Helen  Coughlln  Worthley,  Kay  Eppig 
Murphy,  Mary  Hopkins  Engelsklrger  Marge  Kenny,  Mildred  Martin

Rosemary  Kennelly  Gwaltney  (and  her  lovely  daughter) ,  Anne  McCormack 
Fennessy,  Josephine  McKeon  Broad  and  Mary  Whelan  Phelan  We  were 
seated  with  members  of  the  classes  of  '31 ,  '33,  and  '34  and  there  were  many 
exchanges  of  memories.  A  super  party!  Despite  their  inability  to  be  at  our 
gatherings,  we  had  responses  and  warm  greetings  from  Kathlyn  Ansbro 
Wurts  Helen  Curran  Flynn.  Sister  Ann  Loyola  (Mary  Dwyer),  Kathryn  Frey 
Lynch,  Lucille  Jacobson  Augenstein,  Madeline  Kendall  Friel  and  Marie 
Manno  Mulllns  Anne  Burns  Meehan  had  a  joyful  excuse  for  her  absence 
from  our  Mass  this  year— she  was  mother  of  the  bride  that  weekend  in 
Atlanta  Sr.  Ann  Loyola  who  lives  in  Florida,  read  of  the  Medical  Spanish 
textbook  which  Maria  DILorenzo  Kearon  '73  and  her  husband  published 
last  year.  Mary  taught  in  Lima,  Peru,  and  appreciates  the  value  of  this  text. 
She  plans  to  give  a  copy  to  a  sister  who  is  returning  to  Bolivia.  Eleanor

Lutheran  Community  Service  a  few  hours  a  day  Mildred  Martin  Donnelly 
had  a  memorable  trip  to  Spain  in  May.  She  then  topped  off  the  summer  with 
a  surprise  birthday  celebration  (we  all  know  the  number)  planned  by  her 
three  children  who  came  from  far  away  places  to  honor  her.  Gladys 
Worthley  spends  the  winter  in  Fort  Myers.  She  is  listed  in  the  telephone

EppIg  Murphy  is  a  member  of  a  steering  committee  developing  a 
southwest  Suffolk  County  chapter  of  St.  Joseph's  Alumni.  Guess  how 
many  there  are  living  in  Babylon  and  Islip  townships;  close  to  500'  Irene 
Parker  Parks  leads  an  exciting  life.  She  went  on  an  art  tour  of  Rome  and 
Florence  (with  emphasis  on  Michelangelo)  in  February.  In  June  she 
attended  an  Audubon  convention  in  Colorado,  toured  the  state,  collecting 
rocks  and  adding  eleven  new  birds  to  her  life  list.  Unfortunately  we  must 
add  some  sad  news.  Our  deep  sympathy  goes  to  three  of  our  classmates

reports  that  she  is  greatly  improved.  Kay  is  grateful  to  her  St  Joe's 
classmates  who  kept  in  touch  with  her  during  her  illness  and  welcomes 
news  of  '33  Sister  Mary  Germalne  (Grace  FInlay)  was  in  touch  with  Ceedle 
David  last  summer,  when  she  returned  from  Puerto  Rico.  Sister  Germalne 
has  gone  back  to  her  teaching  post  at  Catholic  U;  she  too  welcomes  news 
from  her  classmates.  Catherine  Gebelein  Carlson  loves  the  Southwest. 
She  lives  in  Deming.  New  (vlexico.  Her  older  grandson,  23,  is  a  graduate 
student  in  music  at  Las  Vegas  University,  having  received  his  degree  last 
year  from  the  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music.  His  instruments  are  the 
saxophone  and  the  flute.  The  younger,  now  21 ,  is  at  Stanford,  majoring  in 
Business  Economics.  Catherine  is  looking  forward  to  ourSOth  anniversary, 
and  plans  to  be  here  "with  bells  on  "  Joan  Glambalvo  Palazzo  and  Frank 
enjoy  a  warm  winter  retreat  in  a  mobile  home  in  Paradise  Village,  Ft. 
Lauderdale  from  November  to  Christmas.  Joan  writes,  "We  will  be  with  our 
5  children  and  17  grandchildren  for  a  joyful  holiday  season  from  December 
22  to  January  4,  then  back  to  Florida  until  Easter  time,  when  we  fly  up  North 
with  the  robins."  Rita  Herzog  Sturm  a  resident  of  Winchester,  Virginia, 
had  a  visit  during  the  summer  from  Evelyn  Harris  Martin,  and  her  daughter. 
Doctor  Lynn.  They  had  a  great  time,  although  they  sorely  miss  Mary 
Bernard  McCarthy  and  Florence  Hanrahan  Cullen,  both  now  deceased. 
Alex  and  Dorothy  Harold  McNeil  lead  a  quiet  life  in  Pompano  Beach— no 
more  long  trips,  oh  doctor's  orders.  Last  year  they  took  a  cruise  boat  to 
Nova  Scotia,  one  of  several  visits  to  Alex's  former  home.  Making  St. 
Andrews  their  base,  they  were  able  to  explore  lovely  Antigonish  County, 
and  were  especially  impressed  by  Our  Lady  of  Grace  Shrine,  in  a  beautiful 
wooded  setting  near  an  Augustinian  Monastery.  They  feel  the  visit  to  the 
shrine  helped  them  both  spiritually  and  physically.  Dorothy  has  kept  up 
her  music;  she  plays  for  the  Vigil  Mass  at  her  parish  church,  St.  Gabriel's. 
She  has  been  teaching  C.CD.  there  since  the  parish  was  started  twelve 
years  ago.  She  and  Alex  will  celebrate  their  20th  anniversary  in  November. 
Elizabeth  Schaefer  Dalton  received  the  Regina  Award  from  Bishop 
McGann.  Liz,  one  of  seven  women  to  be  awarded  such  recognition  this 
year,  has  a  varied  and  long  record  of  service:  she  established  the  Golden 
Age  Club  in  her  community,  is  a  charter  member  of  FISH,  co-chaired  the 
establishment  of  the  Good  Samaritan  Hospital  Coffee  Shop,  is  a  member 
of  the  St.  Vincent  de  Paul  Society,  a  past  Grand  Regent  of  the  Catholic 
Daughters,  and  a  teacher  in  the  religious  education  program  for  special 
children  in  her  parish.  Jerrle  Young  Murphy,  who  has  three  daughters 
living  in  Texas,  tried  ranching  for  ten  days  last  year.  It  was  a  challenge,  with 
long  and  busy  days  maneuvering  the  sheep  so  she  wouldn't  be  knocked 
over.  She  writes.  "Three  weeks  after  one  stepped  on  my  foot,  I  found  out  it 
was  broken,  not  bruised.  Confinement  to  a  boot  didn't  stop  me  from 
driving.  It  was  the  alfalfa  in  my  hair  that  really  got  me.  It'a  all  great  exercise 
for  sleeping  well  "

Marie  Dermody  Brodbeck  believes  our  class  probably  holds  the  record 
for  twinning  among  all  the  classes  graduated  from  St.  Joe's.  Marie  recalls 
that  Florence  Hanrahan  Cullen,  Marie  Norton  Donion.  Kay  Lavelle  Burke, 
Muriel  Hottenroth  Magenheimer.  Mary  Fogarty  Reiiiy,  Katherine  Reilly 
McHugh  and  she  gave  birth  to  twins  making  seven  sets  in  a  class  of  75 
graduates  Marie  Donion,  Kay  Burke  and  Marie  Brodbeck  all  had  identical 
twins— boys.  Katherine  McHugh  had  a  girl  and  a  boy  It  would  be 
interesting  to  know  whether  the  others  are  identical  or  fraternal.  Mane  lives 
in  Florida  near  her  three  sons  and  their  families.  Her  father,  well  and  active 
at  93,  lives  nearby.  Our  sincere  sympathy  is  extended  to  Catherine  Lavelle 
Burke  whose  husband,  Frank,  died  last  June.  GInaLatorracaand  her  sister 
were  south  to  Charleston  and  Savannah  this  spring  and  north  to  New 
England  on  trips  this  summer,  Eucharia  Mulligan  was  off  again  to  Europe 
visiting  the  shrines  at  Knock.  Lourdes  and  Rome  Jo  Pisani  Brov<n's  son. 
John  Francis,  is  a  medical  student,  carrying  on  the  Pisani  family  tradition. 
Jo  is  recuperating  from  surgery  and  doing  well.  Kay  Sullivan  Barton 
divides  her  time  between  Greenwood  Lake.  NY.  and  New  Port  Richey  in 
Florida.  Mary.  Jerry  and  Catherine  Cooke  spent  a  month  in  California  this 
summer  Guadalupe  is  not  the  same  without  Sister  Eucharia  and  the  loss  of 
the  Maryknoll  sisters  is  still  felt.  Catherine's  godchild  isquite  a  young  lady 
now.  and  will  graduate  from  St,  Joseph's  high  school  next  June  While  in 
California.  Catherine,  her  sister  and  brother-in-law  enjoyed  a  delightful 
Champagne  Brunch  with  Lee  and  Gertrude  Roberts  Delworth  '23.  Lee  is  a 
retired  Naval  Officer.  The  Delworths'  Golden  Anniversary  Party  was  at 


Vanderberg  Air  Base.  Gertrude  sent  love  to  all  her  friends,  particularly 
Angela  Donaldson  Anne  Connolly  Burns  is  doing  well  and  deep  in  the 
adventure  of  learning  to  speak  again.  It  is  frustrating  at  times,  but  more 
often  it  is  thrilling  and  rewarding.  Catherine,  with  Mary  and  Jerry,  enjoyed 
a  lovely  day  with  Sister  Eucharia  at  Terryville.  Connecticut,  where  she  has 
been  elected  Coordinator  for  the  senior  sisters  of  the  Eastern  Region.  She 
continues  her  catechetical  and  social  work.  Catherine  telephoned  Marie 
Schluter  '33  who  is  at  Crescent  Beach  and  enjoyed  a  nice  chat.  Eleanor 
Lagattuta  Murphy  and  John  flew  to  the  Eucharistic  Congress  in  Lourdes  in 
July.  It  was  the  20th  anniversary  of  their  pilgrimage  to  Lourdes  with  the  St. 
Jeannne  Valois  Guild  in  1961  They  offered  one  day  of  prayers  and  services 
for  all  their  friends  in  the  alumni  who  helped  to  make  that  pilgrimage  a 
reality.  Although  it  is  about  a  year  later  we  received  a  newspaper  clipping 
too  late  for  previous  notes  that  Agnes  Brown  Drummond  was  honored  by 
the  Port  Washington  Community  on  the  occasion  of  her  retirement  as 
Director  of  Adult  Continuing  Community  Education  at  the  Port  Washington 
Public  School,  after  17  years  of  service.  North  Hempstead  township 
presented  her  with  a  plaque  commemorating  her  15  years  of  service  as  a 
member  of  the  Senior  Citizens  Commission.  The  Nassau  Association  for 
Continuing  and  Community  Education  also  presented  a  plaque. 
Assemblywoman  May  Newburger  gave  her  flowers  and  the  Manorhaven 
School  PTA  made  a  donation  to  Cancer  Care  in  Agnes  Drummond's  name. 
Employees  and  friends  of  the  Port  Washington  School  District  gave  her  a 
color  television.  Agnes  lives  in  East  Northport.

We  wish  to  offer  condolences  to  Marie  Keegan  '29  on  the  death  of  her 
sister,  and  our  beloved  classmate.  Rose  Keegan  Koebler  Rose  was  not 
feeling  well  in  the  spring  and  we  missed  her  at  the  luncheon.  She  was 
hospitalized  in  the  summer  for  tests  but  she  never  really  regained  her 
strength.  Marie  says  she  was  very  patient  and  cheerful  throughout  her 
illness,  and  knowing  Rose,  it's  not  surprising  Catherine  Wills  was  pleased 
to  read  in  "245"  that  the  speaker  for  the  Suffolk  Campus  Commencement, 
Paul  Sauerland.  was  a  former  student  of  hers.  Catherine  is  volunteer 
worker  at  Cabrini  Hospital  and  at  her  local  library,  where  she  serves  on  the

New  York  Catholic  Center  on  First  Avenue.  At  the  Catholic  Home  Bureau, 
Catherine  helps  put  written  dictation  on  tapes  for  a  blind  typist  on  the  staff. 
She  sees  Anne  Scannell  Smith  frequently  in  church.  Anne's  brother,  a 
Jesuit,  is  helping  out  at  the  parish  Katherine  Doyle  Flanagan  has  a  new 
grandaughter.  Abigail,  born  in  September  Matthew  4.  and  Thomas  2.  are 
delighted.  Leave  it  to  St  Joseph's  to  find  a  delightful  way  to  ease  us  into

themselves  were  Marie  Blaber.  Edna  Brennan  Maioney.  Florence  Kemp

and  her  husband  Jim  is  an  attorney  in  Washington.  They  have  two  boys,  8 
and  4  Florence  Kemp  Carberry  welcomed  the  arr>(al  of  a  second 
grandson,  Peter,  who  was  born  to  her  son,  Frank,  and  his  wife,  Sheryl.  Had 
a  great  chat  with  Grace  Flannery  Morris  who  as  a  result  of  a  nasty  spill 
suffered  a  bad  fracture  of  her  right  arm  but  she  is  coming  along  fine.  Ed  and 
I  had  the  pleasure  of  a  visit  from  Billy  Metzler,  our  godchild,  and  oldest  son 
of  Bernadette  Maroney  &  Jack  Metzler  He  was  here  on  business  from 
Omaha,  Nebraska.  We  also  journeyed  out  to  Wading  River  for  a  great 
get-together  with  Jack,  Jr.  and  his  wife  and  three  little  boys.  Isabel  Tyler

on  Amtrak  last  Saturday  from  Delaware  where  I  attended  the  dedication  of 
my  grandfather's  home  as  a  landmark— a  beautiful  cermony.  I  was  thrilled 
to  see  the  large  and  colorful  ad  for  St,  Joseph's  College  in  Penn  Station.  It 
is  worth  a  trip  to  see  our  name  in  lights!  And  now,  as  Dean  l^artin  used  to 
say.  let's  keep  those  letters  coming

I  thought  it  was  Christmas  in  July  when  a  brightly  wrapped  surprise 
package  arrived  at  my  home.  It  contained  a  sterling  silver  initialed  trinket 
box  inscribed  "SJC '41",  Piecing  together  some  clues,  I  found  the  trail  led  to 
Dee  Mahon  McCrystal  who  had  acted  as  purchaser  on  behalf  of  all  those  at 
the  40th  Reunion.  I  am  so  very  grateful  to  all  of  you  for  this  most 
unexpected  gift  which  I  shall  treasure.  Dee  gave  a  luncheon  in  August  at 
her  home  in  Shoreham  for  about  a  dozen  classmates  from  the  L.I.  area. 
They  had  a  mini-reunion  with  Marjorle  Andresen  Breedis  who  was  enroute 
to  Fire  Island  for  a  vacation.  Marjorle  is  Administrator  of  the  Single  Parent 
Department  for  Catholic  Social  Services,  Philadelphia.  Her  daughter,  Liz, 
was  married  in  May.  Mary  Leahy  Cleary  was  also  at  Dee's.  She  and  Ed  were 
enroute  to  New  England  to  visit  friends.  Dot  Dunn  Young  whom  we  have 
not  seen  for  many  years,  was  there.  She  and  Jim  became  active  in  the 
Marriage  Encounter  Movement  after  making  a  weekend  ten  years  ago.

near  Dee's  Isha  is  a  reading-language  specialist  in  the  public  schools  and 
teaches  occasionally  in  the  local  Junior  College  evening  session.  Her 
husband.  Christian,  teaches  at  U.  of  South  Florida  at  Tampa,  They  have 
three  sons  and  two  grandchildren.  Their  eldest  is  an  Economics  Professor 
at  Cornell;  the  second  owns  a  pub  in  Atlanta;  and  the  youngest  is  at  the  U. 
of  Georgia,  considering  a  career  In  Veterinary  Medicine.  Isha  had  a  heart 
attack  at  age  42.  Her  very  active  schedule  notwithstanding,  she  manages  to 
get  to  L.  I.  each  summer  to  visit  her  mother  in  a  nursing  home  in  Woodbury. 
She  has  kept  in  touch  through  the  years  with  Grace  Dooling,  Adele 
Mulligan  Seymour.  Mary  Leahy  Cleary,  Marge  Murphy  Lynch  and  Irene 
Novak  Bromka  Anne  Hennessy  did  not  attend  our  40th  because  she  and 
her  two  sisters  were  taking  a  vacation  in  Ireland  Muriel  Piess  was  in 
Europe  at  the  same  time.  Tom  and  Edna  Shephard  O'Gara  have  moved  to  a 
co-op  in  Monsey,  NY.  near  two  of  their  children  and  several  grandchildren. 
Their  fourth  grandchild  arrived  in  the  back  of  his  Daddy's  car  just  outside 
the  hospital  entrance.  Edna  enclosed  a  picture  of  herself,  Laura  Millard 
and  Ruth  Dougherty  McCiure  taken  on  Class  Day  41  Charity  Wilson

Elizabeth's  sudden  death  Nancy  Ruddy  moved  to  an  apartment  condo  in 
Aurora.  Colo  and  invites  us  to  "come  on  out"  Unable  to  be  at  the  reunion

Keating  have  lived  in  Garden  City  for  three  years  Her  mother,  91,  is  also 
with  them.  Eileen  Gallagher  Ellis  couldn't  make  the  reunion  because  she 
and  Lynn  were  busy  with  wedding  plans  for  two  of  their  children.  One  was 
married  in  Minneapolis  in  August  and  the  other  in  Westport  in  October. 
Their  youngest,  Kathy,  is  a  junior  at  Cornell.  Our  search  for  "lost" 
classmates  turned  up:  Cecilia  Kelly  King  living  in  Tucson;  Eileen  Conway 
Brown  has  moved  to  Delmar,  NY.;  Alice  Walsh  is  in  Long  Beach,  L.I.  and

Noreen  Doherty  heard  from  Dorothy  Montuorl  Ryan  Dorothy  and  her  two 
boys  live  in  Florida,  near  Fort  Lauderdale.  Last  Spring.  Dorothy  was  named 
as  one  of  the  top  ten  teachers  of  the  year  in  her  county.  Noreen  mentioned 
that  Mary  Ann  Welndler  Horan  moved  last  February  to  Malibu,  California, 
and  enjoys  life  on  the  West  Coat.  During  the  summer  Hank  and  Diane 
Mattel  Maturl  vacationed  in  Cape  Cod  with  their  three  children:  Michael  14. 
Anne  13,  and  Jenine  12.  All  three  are  accomplished  musicians,  and  with 
Diane,  they  make  quite  a  band.  Diane  returned  to  full  time  teaching  in 
September.  Last  year,  in  conjunction  with  the  50th  anniversary  of  her 
husband's  business  association,  Diane  was  asked  to  write  a  journal  on  the 
history  of  the  Rendena  Valley  in  the  Northern  Alps,  from  where  Diane  and 
Hank's  grandfathers  had  emigrated,  and  both  of  whom  were  part  of  the

convinced  that  there  is  no  place  like  New  York.  Finally,  may  I  remind  you 
that  1982  marks  our  twentieth  anniversary  since  graduation.  Let's  celebrate 
that  anniversary  in  a  big  way  by  getting  out  in  large  numbers  to  the  Spring

FOR  GLOBAL  PEACE  AND  JUSTICE 


In  a  world  threatened  by  nuclear  holocaust,  hunger,  and 
poverty,  the  role  of  the  educator  has  emerged  as  vital  and 
primary.  Sister  St.  Francis  Dilgen  (chemistry)  recendy  held  a 
faculty  seminar  at  which  she  and  her  colleagues  explored 
their  roles  as  individual  educators  and  the  role  of  the  college 
as  an  institution  in  moving  toward  a  world  of  peace  and 
justice. 

Reporting  on  a  Symposium  on  Education  for  Peace  and 
Justice  held  at  Manhattan  College  Universities,  Sister  asked 
"Is  ii  possible  for  us  to  make  a  difference?"  "Is  it  too  late?" 

Two  long  standing  goals  of  the  College  relate  directly 
with  the  themes  of  peace  and  justice:  to  affirm  the  dignity, 
freedom,  and  ultimate  value  of  the  human  person;  and  to 
educate  students  to  the  aiimreness  of  personal  responsibility 
for  an  intelligent  and  critical  participation  in  the  local  and 
worldwide  community. 

Sister  St.  Francis  urged  the  faculty  to  study  how  these 
principles  underline  and  interrelate  with  every  area  in  the 
curriculum  as  well  as  with  our  institutional  policies.  She 
then  fonned  a  Task  Force  on  campus  which  will  aim  at 
faculty  awareness  and  invohement  in  these  challenging 
areas  of  human  history. 

This  Task  Force  met  on  December  H,  1981  for  an  initial 
planning  meeting.  Ele\en  representatives  from  Brooklyn 
Alts  and  Sciences,  and  General  Studies  were  present.  They 
briefly  discussed  these  global  threats  and  how  to  involve  and 
enlist  memberrs  of  the  entire  college  family  to  work  in 
moving  toward  world  peace  and  j  ustice.  The  next  meeting  of 
the  Education  for  Peace  and  Justice  Task  Force  will  take 
place  at  the  end  of  the  Faculty  Planning  day  on  Fridav, 
January  22,  1982  at  3:00  RM.  in  McEntegart  Hail  on  Clinton 
Avenue. 

Alumni  are  urgently  requested  to  attend  this  meeting 
and  join  the  task  force  to  help  plan  and  or  carry  out 
activities  for  ourselves,  our  students,  and  our  local 
communities,  in  order  to  increase  our  awareness  of  ways  of 
fostering  a  more  human  and  just  world  future.  Will  you 
become  involved  in  this  — and  ultimately  world  peace? 
Please  fill  out  the  postcard  on  the  back  cover,  or  telephone

Alumni  Survey 


St.  Joseph's  alumni  are  happy  about  the  education  they 
received  at  their  Alma  Mater.  A  recent  survey  of  graduates 
of  the  last  twenty  years  shows  that  four  out  of  five  are 
"pleased"  or  "very  pleased  '  with  their  experience  at  the 
college,  and  would  recominend  it  to  their  children  or 
friends.  Of  our  .\rts  and  .Sc  iences  graduates,  over  8')%  find 
their  education  "sujx-rior"  or  "good"  when  coinparing 
themselves  with  their  peers  in  graduate  school,  professions 
or  business. 

These  are  among  the  lieartening  conclusions  of  an 
alumni  survey  which  was  part  of  a  self-study  made  by  the 
college  in  preparation  for  evaluation  by  the  Middle  .States 
Association. 

In  order  to  obtain  a  representative  but  irianageable 
sample,  a  (juestionnaire  was  mailed  to  every  fifth  person 
on  the  alphabetical  lists  of  graduates  from  1960  through 
1979.  Ol  the  713  sent  out,  426  (57%)  were  answered:  326 
from  the  Brooklyn  .\rts  and  Sciences  Division  (67%  of 
those  mailed),  10  from  Suffolk  (47%)  and  60  from  the 
General  Studies  Division  (35%). 

This  phenomenally  high  rate  of  response  happily 
indicates  a  strong  continuing  identification  witfi  the 
College,  not  only  on  the  part  of  those  who  spent  four  years 
as  full-tiiiie  siudentson  the  established  Brooklyn  campus, 
but  also  among  the  younger  Suffolk  alumni  (first  grad- 
uates 1974)  and  the  General  Studies  graduates,  triatureand 
busy  people  who  spent  varying  periods  as  part-time 
students  at  SJC. 

Alumni  Profile 

The  alumni  profile  that  emerges  is  that  of  a  varied  and 
active  group  of  people.  Of  the  426  (389  women,  37  men) 
who  replied,  347  (82%)  are  employed  in  a  field  related  to 
theii  major  area  of  college  study:  163  (39%)  are  educators, 
63  (15%)  in  health  services,  11  in  the  learned  professions. 
71  describe  themselves  as  homemakers,  the  others  are 
engaged  in  business,  finance,  civil  service,  social  work, 
scientific  research  and  other  callings.  245  are  inarried,  170 
have  children. 

Beyond  their  daily  jobs,  216  (51%)  are  active  in  profes- 
sional organizations,  230  in  religious  organizations,  58  in 
political  organiztions.  151  do  volunteer  work,  106  have 
received  honors  or  awards,  48  ha\e  published  or  exhibited 
their  work.  321  (75%)  ha\e  done  ^>on^e  graduate  work:  244 
have  earned  advanced  degrees,  including  7  dcx torates  and 
16  professional  degrees. 

Three  out  of  five  experience  a  "high"  or  "very  high" 
degree  of  satisfaction  in  their  careers;  only  41  rejxirt  a 
"low"  or  "very  low"  index  of  career  satisfaction. 

Most  of  the  eighty  survey  questions  were  judgemental 
rather  than  fac  tual.  They  were  designed  to  probe  attitudes 
and  experience,  and  to  provide  an  opportunity  for  the 
alumni  to  evaluate  the  college  and  its  impact  on  them- 
selves. For  each  of  these  cjuestions  there  were  five  response 
options  whic  h  can  fje  c ategorized  as:  ( 1 )  very  positive,  (2) 
pcjsitive,  (3)  neutral,  (4)  negative,  (5)  very  negative. 
The  College  and  I'ndergraduates 

Amcjiig  the  factors  in  the  chcjice  of  .SJC  as  a  college, 
highest  in  significance  was  theacademic  reputation  of  the 
College,  85%  oi  the  replies  falling  into  the  first  two 
categories.  This  is  followed  by  size,  financial  availability, 
majors  offered  and  location.  Least  significant  is  the  range 
of  extra-curricular  activities.  62%  of  the  General  Studies 
alumni  gave  maximum  importance  to  the  flexibility  o( 


the  ccjUege  in  accommodating  the  needs  of  adult  students. 

In  unciergraduate  life,  the  factors  rated  most  highly  for 
their  significance  were  the  atmosphere  for  learning  (93% 
gave  ratings  of  1  or  2),  the  intellectual  content  of  the 
courses  (92%),  the  faculty  (89%)  and  fellow-students  (87%). 
Less  highly  rated,  but  fxjsitive  were  the  library  and 
religious  environment,  while  extra-curricular  activities 
were  positively  rated  by  less  than  half  the  replies. 

With  regard  to  {personal  development,  alumni  were 
asked  to  evaluate  the  impact  of  SjC  in  nine  areas,  as  of 
"highest",  "high",  "some",  "little",  or  "no"  imp)ortance. 
First  or  second  ratings  were  given  to  intellectual  interests 
by  75%  of  the  replies,  professional  skills  by  66%,  vocational 
aims  56%,  understanding  of  self  and  others  57%,  ethical 
and  religious  values52%  44%  found  the  college  important 
in  developing  their  general  life  style,  39%  in  recognition  of 
rights  and  responsibilities  as  citizens,  27%  in  community 
life,  while  hobbies  and  avocations  seem  for  most  to  have 
been  little  influenced  by  the  SJC  experience. 

Asked  to  rate  their  degree  of  satisfaction  with  the 
education  received  at  the  college,  222  (52%)  were  "very 
pleased".  118  (28%)  "pleased".  75  were  "satisfied",  9 
"dissatisfied",  one  "very  dissatisfied".  Of  the  ten  negatives, 
seven,  including  the  "very  dissatisfied,"  were  from  the 
Brooklyn  campus,  three  from  General  Studies.  78%  of  the 
total  said  they  w'ould  recominend  the  college  to  their 
children  or  friends,  37%  "enthusiastically". 
Aims  and  Goals 

A  key  set  of  questions  called  fcjr  alumni  rating  of  the 
fulfillment  by  the  College  of  its  aims  and  goals  as:  (1) 
excellent,  (2)  good,  (3)  satisfactory,  (4)  fair,  (5)  poor.  A  full 
statement  of  these  aims  and  goals  apf)ears  elsewhere  in 
this  alumnagram.  (See  page  6.) 

Fulfillment  of  the  aim  of  creating  a  free  atmosphere  was 
rated  "excellent"  by  108  respondents,  "good"  by  174,  a 
total  of  282,  or  67%  in  the  upper  range.  87  gave  a  rating  of 
"satisfactory"  and  49  "fair"  or  "poor".  40  of  the  latter 
came  from  the  Brooklyn  campus,  9  from  Suffolk,  none 
from  General  Studies. 

Closely  correlated  with  the  assessment  of  the  first  goal  is 
that  of  the  second:  students  and  faculty  together  ivestigate 
.  .  .  knowledge.  10%  of  the  replies  were  positive,  11% 
negative,  1 9  on  middle  ground.  Of  the  negatives,  Brooklyn 
accounted  for  33,  Suffolk  3  and  General  Studies  1 1 . 

Less  satisfactory,  but  still  predominantly  positive,  was 
the  rating  of  the  goal:  [as  the  basis  for]  a  more  effective 
participation  in  the  modern  world.  17%  found  SJC 
"excellent",  41%  "good"  (giving  58%  positive),  27% 
"satisfactory",  13%  "fair",  2%  (ten)  "pcx>r". 

Over  three-quarters  of  the  respondents  gave  ratings  of 
"excellent"  or  "good"  for  the  acfiievment  by  the  col  lege  of 
four  of  its  more  specific  objectives:  to  affirm  human 
dignity ,  freedom  and  value  (80%).  to  provide  an  atmosphere 
for  open  dialogue  (76%),  to  inspire  a  spirit  of  inquiry  and 
joy  of  learning  (77%),  and  to  prepare  students  for  their  life 
work  (78%).  The  development  of  personal  responsibility 
for  .  .  .  fmrticipation  m  the  community  was  rated  well  by 
66%.  Participation  m  cooperative  ventures  with  other 
institutions  received  positive  ratings  from  47%,  while  23% 
judged  the  fulfillment  ol  this  goal  as  "fair"  or  "fxxir". 
Concept  of  One  College 

Respcjnses  in  the  area  cif  the  "one  college"  concept  show 
a  consensus  that  the  college  should  continue  to  seek  some 
common  identity  among  its  divisions,  but  considerable 
uncertainty  as  to  the  means  of  accomplishing  this  unity. 
There  is,  however,  a  strcjng  agreement  tliat  c  ommon  goals 
and  values  should  be  maintained.  Two  thirds  of  ihcjse 
answering  approved  common  alumni  publications.

Coralie  Seidler  McGuire  '63 

Seven  years  ago,  Coralie  Seidler  McGuire  '63,  could  not 
find  an  interesting  and  good  paying  job  in  Albuquerque, 
New  Mexico,  where  she  lives  with  her  physicist  husband 
and  three  children,  so  she  created  her  own  job  as  a 
Conference  Consultant.  She  is  President  and  Treasurer  of 
Exposition  Management,  Inc.  and  does  all  the  work  of 
managing  conferences,  business  meetings,  conventions 
and  trade  shows.  The  Company's  primary  purpose  is  to 
attract  qualified  exhibitors  to  display  their  products  and 
services  and  to  get  together  qualified  and  interested 
audiences.  This  includes  renting  the  convention  center 
and  taking  care  of  publicity,  printing,  and  special  mail- 
ings. Coralie's  interest  in  Conference  Management  began 
when  she  visited  scientific  conferences  with  her  husband, 
Dr.  Eugene  McGuire,  and  noticed  that  often  the  meetings 
were  poorly  planned. 

After  graduating  from  St;  Joseph's  with  a  degree  in 
History  and  Social  Science,  Coralie's  first  job  was  teaching. 
The  principal  of  her  school  urged  her  to  take  graduate 
work  in  Chinese  History  at  Cornell,  and  she  did.  The 
greatest  thing  she  got  out  of  this,  besides  half  a  degree  in 
Chinese  History  was  a  devotion  to  Chinese  cuisine. 
"Mine's  the  best,"  she  says  and  she  finds  that  cooking  is  a 


Conference 
Manager 


good  way  to  let  off  frustrations  and  hostilities.  Because  of 
her  love  for  cooking,  she  had  thought  of  opening  a 
restaurant. 

Coralie  has  always  felt  the  need  to  succeed  and  to  be  self 
supporting  -  to  be  completely  independent.  Today,  she 
not  only  is  successful,  but  has  the  luxury  of  working  at 
home.  Her  two  older  children,  Andrew,  fifteen,  and 
Rachel,  eleven,  are  Secretary  and  Vice-President  of  the 
company.  They  also  function  as  her  office  staff,  answering 
phones,  licking  stamps  and  running  errands.  When 
papers  of  incorporation  were  set  up,  the  attorney  advised 
both  children  to  take  their  roles  seriously  and  to  really 
work.  Their  salaries  are  being  banked  for  them  until  they 
reach  eighteen.  Coralie  spends  most  of  her  mornings  on 
the  phone,  goes  out  to  appointments  in  the  early  after- 
noons, and  does  the  clerical  work  in  the  evenings  while 
her  children  do  their  homework.  Because  she  wanted  to  be 
on  her  own,  her  husband  is  not  involved  in  the  Corpora- 
tion, although  when  she  started  out,  she  borrowed  S250 
from  him.  She  promptly  repaid  him  and  for  this  credits 
her  mother  who  taught  her  to  "pay  your  bills  as  fast  as  you 
can." 

It  washer  mother,  too,  who  instilled  in  her  the  desire  for 
financial  independence  and  Coralie  wants  to  do  the  same 
for  her  children,  particularly  her  daughter.  She  feels  that 
women  must  work  together,  not  only  to  make  society 
better,  but  to  acquaint  each  other  with  some  of  the 
techniques  which  have  been  so  useful  for  men  in  business. 
She'd  like  to  see  women  making  deals  in  their  own  version 
of  the  locker  room. 

One  of  the  drawbacks  of  running  her  own  business  is 
that  Coralie  sometimes  finds  herself  working  sixty  hours  a 
week,  but  the  results  make  it  worthwhile.  Last  year  was  the 
most  exciting  of  her  professional  life,  but  it  was  also  very 
paiirful.  It  meant  a  tremendous  change.  She  has  become 
more  mellow;  petty  things  which  often  incensed  her  don't 
bother  her  any  more,  but  it  took  a  year  to  reach  that 
control.  Coralie  makes  no  secret  that  she  is  40  this  year.  A 
few  years  ago  she  had  a  bout  with  facial  cancer,  but  she  did 
not  allow  this  to  interfere  with  her  business  and  today,  she 
is  a  highly  attractive  independent  business  woman  who 
declares  that  she  has  never  felt  so  stimulated  in  all  her  life.

Arts  and  Sciences  Supplement 

Arts  and  Sciences  alumni  received  a  set  of  supplementary 
questions  which  called  for  rating  of  their  SJC  preparation 
in  nine  areas:  critical  thinking:  technical  skills  in  one's 
discipline;  oral  communication;  written  commimications 
skills;  working  independently,  appreciation  of  art,  litera- 
ture aird  music;  understanding  and  applying  mathemati- 
cal and  scientific  principles;  understanding  of  history  and 
of  the  social  and  behavioral  sciences;  research  skills  and 
use  of  the  library.  Between  75  and  85  per  cent  of  the  replies 
rated  the  college  as  "superior"  or  "good"  in  eight  of  the 
nine  categories.  The  weak  area  was  that  of  the  mathe- 
matical and  scientific  disciplines,  for  which  53%  gave 


favorable  responses. 

Of  those  who  attended  graduate  school,  85%  considered 
their  SJC  education  "superior"  or  "good"  compared  with 
that  of  other  graduate  students.  Of  those  who  have  been 
employed  comparing  themselves  with  their  peers  in  their 
professions  of  occupations,  92%  have  positi\e  ratings,  57% 
being  in  the  "superior"  category. 

The  results  of  the  studies  are  being  carefully  analyzed  by 
the  college  administration  with  a  view  to  overcoming 
weaknesses  and  building  on  the  strengths  revealed.  The 
evidence  is  that  the  col  lege,  which  has  made  many  changes 
since  1970,  still  maintains  its  traditions,  nurturing  women 
and  men  capable  of  leading  full  and  useful  lives. 


Tujo  Focultv  Members  Retire 


Reii.  John  Hession 

Reverend  John  C.  Hession  joined  the  faculty  September, 
1944,  as  a  member  of  the  Philosophy  Department. 
Although  the  faculty  folder  does  not  indicate  his  course 
assignment  during  the  earlier  years,  I  believe  Father 
taught  a  course  in  Latin'Greek.  This  is  not  surprising 
since  he  graduated  from  Manhattan  College  summa  cum 
laude  with  inajors  in  Philosophy,  Latin  and  Greek.  Since 
a  relative  of  mine  graduated  on  the  same  day,  I  vividly 
recall  one  handsome  young  man,  all  unknown  to  me,  who 
dashed  back  and  forth  to  the  podium  receiving  individual 
gold  medals  in  Classical  Languages,  Philosophy,  and 
Religion,  as  well  as  the  Gold  Medal  for  Exellence  in  all 
four  years  at  Manhattan.  He  was  in  truth  the  "summa"  of 
his  class. 

Father  joined  the  faculty  of  St.  Joseph's  about  the  same 
time  as  Father  D'Ecclesiis,  Father  Jerry  Minogue  and 
Father  Gerard  Murray.  Together  they  created  a  vital 
intellectual  and  piedagogical  environment  on  the  St. 
Joseph  campus  and  more  than  one  gray  hair  to  our  then 
President  and  Professor  of  Philosophy  Father  William  T. 
Dillon.  Several  of  us  in  this  room  today,  remember  with 
more  than  a  little  nostalgia  those  halcyon  days — the  days 
of  Joe  Zilch,  the  Everyman  of  Father's  philosophy  lectures. 
I  can  recall  seeing  Father  Hession  carrying  an  ancient 
edition  of  St.  Thomas'  Summa  to  class.  The  glosses  (in 
Latin)  were  so  remarkable  he  was  sure  the  students  would 
enjoy  the  subtle  distinctions! 

Lest  I  leave  Father's  academic  history  unfinished — he 
studied  under  Kristeller  at  Columbia,  from  which  he 
received  his  M.A.  Years  later  I  heard  Kristeller  quoted  as 
remembering  with  great  fondness — a  brilliant  young 
priest  from  Brooklyn.  Father  Hession  also  studied  at 
Laval  University — but  let  us  concentrate  only  on  his 
activities  at  St.  Joseph's  College. 

He  served  as  Chairman  of  the  Evaluation  committee  for 
the  1962  Middle  States  Evaluation  and  chaired  numerous 
faculty  committees,  the  most  recent  of  which  was  the 
Committee  on  Rank,  Tenure  and  Faculty  Interests.  For 
many  years  Father  Hession  served  as  chairman  of  the 
Philosophy  Department.  He  was  moderator  of  the  Mercier 
Circle,  as  our  Philosphy  Club  was  then  called. 

Father  Hession  was  and  remains  one  of  the  pilgrims  to 
Patchogue  and,  before  that,  to  Brentwood,  where  his  love 
for  Scholasticism  and  the  Church  has  endeared  him  to  a 
generation  of  students.  The  Suffolk  contingent  joins  a 
long  line  of  Brooklyn  students  whose  minds  were  sharp- 
ened and  whose  appreciation  of  beauty  was  developed  by 
their  contact  with  this  remarkable  man. 

While  we  feel  a  certain  sense  of  loss  today,  we  know  that 
Father  is  continuing  his  ministry  of  teaching  and  service 


S.  Joseph  Immaculate  Schwartz 

Sister  Joseph  Immaculate  Schwartz'  application  for 
appointment  to  the  faculty  of  St.  Joseph's  College,  is 
deceptively  simple.  The  degrees  and  dates:  BA  1938  St. 
Joseph's  College;  MA  1939  Columbia  University;  PhD 
1943  Yale  University,  almost  conceal  the  remarkable 
achievement  of  completing  graduate  work  in  five  years  at 
two  universities  famed  for  their  English  Departments. 

She  returned  to  St.  Joseph's  filled  with  enthusiasm  for 
her  field,  to  an  active  career  as  Professor  of  English  and  for 
more  than  25  years,  Chairman  of  the  Department. 

During  these  years,  she  has  been  very  much  involved  in 
such  professional  societies  as  the  Modern  Language 
Association,  College  English  Association,  National  Coun- 
cil of  Teachers  of  English,  Catholic  Renascence  Society, 
Conference  on  the  Humanities;  and  has  served  as  officer 
and  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  several  of  them. 
Sr.  Joseph  constantly  updated  her  own  preparation  in  the 
field,  partly  through  post-graduate  work  at  Columbia 
University  and  the  University  of  Michigan;  more  system- 
atically through  her  constant  reading  and  alertness  both 
to  trends  and  to  underlying  verities.  But  her  real  con- 
tribution has  been,  in  Gerard  Manley  Hopkins'  phrasing, 
in  the  "inscape"  or  "in-forming"  of  the  English  Depart- 
ment. Her  own  love  of  literature,  her  communication  of 
its  beauty,  her  sensitivity  to  language  and  expression, 
virtually  formed  a  "mystique"  which  she  shared  with 
students  and  which  made  an  indelible  impression  on 
generations  of  English  majors. 

It  is  no  accident  that  John  Milton  is  one  of  her  favorite 
poets  and  that  she  has  made  Paradise  Lost  and  Paradise 
Regained  benchmarks  of  English  literature  for  every 
student  whom  she  has  taught;  the  grandeur  of  vision,  the 
magnificence  of  scale,  the  beauty  of  language,  but  most  of 
all  the  awe  and  reverence  for  the  wonder  of  man,  the 
struggle  inherent  in  humanity,  and  the  pxissibilities 
always  opening  before  us  through  the  providence  and 
mercy  of  God.  These  qualities,  so  well  communicated,  in 
turn  give  us  just  a  glimpse  of  the  values  which  she 
treasures.  In  synthesis  of  religion  and  literature  she  has 
found  a  teacher's  lifetime  of  happiness.  With  Milton,  she 
has  convinced  her  students  that  "The  world  was  all  before 
them  .  .  .  and  providence  their  guide."

you  for  your  years  of  loving  service  to  St.  Joseph's  College.

Meeting) 


Clare  Trautfield  Conk  '43 

Clare Traufield  Conk  took  the  California  Bar  Exam  in  July 
1981  and  in  November  she  received  notice  that  she  had  passed. 
This  would  not  be  exceptional  but  for  the  fact  that  Clare's 
formal  training  was  one  year  in  a  local  law  school.  The  rest 
was  three  years  of  self  study — in  her  car,  at  the  beach,  or  under 
the  shade  tree  at  the  Community  Golf  Course.  She  continued 
all  the  while,  the  part-time  volunteer  paralegal  work  which 
she  had  been  doing  for  some  years,  in  a  poverty  law  office. 
Also  during  that  time,  Clare  had  by-pass  heart  surgery  which 
meant  six  months  away  from  the  books. 

Clare  was  sworn  in  on  December  26th,  and  her  children 
who  had  come  home  for  Christmas,  shared  the  happy  event. 
George,  the  oldest,  is  in  private  practice  as  an  attorney  in  New 
Jersey.  He  is  founder  and  co-chairman  of  Public  Interest 
Lawyers  of  New  Jersey.  Nancy,  who  lives  in  Manhattan  is  a 
field  producer  for  CBS  news.  Peter  is  in  the  Catholic  Worker 
movement  in  San  Jose,  is  married  and  has  a  three-year-old 
son.  Kathryn,  a  nurse,  is  married,  lives  in  Santa  Barbara,  and 
has  a  year-old  daughter.  Steven,  an  Accounts  Receivable 
Manager  for  a  software  company  in  San  Jose,  is  working  on  a 
second  BA,  hoping  to  start  an  MBA  in  the  fall. 

It  was  in  July  of  1972  that  Clare  and  George  moved  the 
family  and  their  stationery  manufacturing  business  from 
Litchfield,  Connecticut  to  Santa  Barbara.  And  it  was  in  1979 
that  George  sold  the  business  and  retired.  Clare  and  George 
now  found  time  to  travel.  That  year  they  exchanged  their 
home  for  one  outside  London  for  a  month.  Another  couple 
was  with  them  and  they  toured  much  of  England.  In  1980, 
they  exchanged  homes  again,  this  time  for  a  place  on  the 
Costa  del  Sol  in  Spain,  for  a  month.  They  had  a  chance  to  live 
in  the  community,  to  get  to  know  the  people  and  to  live  the 
way  they  do. 

Tiring  of  so  much  leisure,  George  did  consultant  work  in 
business  and  marketing  matters  for  small  companies.  This 
year  he  started  out  as  sales  representative  for  a  new  type- 
writing company,  and  covers  Arizona,  New  Mexico  and  part 
of  Texas.  He  is  a  Lector,  Eucharistic  Minister  and  Parish 
Treasurer,  as  well  as  City  Recreation  Commissioner. 

Clare  plans  to  use  her  talents  and  energy  with  the  poor  and 
oppressed,  although  she  has  taken  a  few  private  cases.  She  is 
one  of  three  attorneys  working  on  the  defense  of  the  Block- 
aders  at  Diablo  Canyon  Nuclear  Power  Planet  and  wrote  a 
brief  on  a  motion  to  have  the  jury  hear  evidence  on  the 
Defense  of  Necessity.  Hearings  on  the  motion  started  May

24th  and  she  hoped  to  have  national  press  coverage.  Clare  is 
also  a  Eucharistic  Minister  and  still  chairs  the  Parish  Secular 
Concerns  Committee.  She  is  on  the  Board  of  the  Legal 
Defense  Center,  a  non-profit  law  office  concentrating  on 
landlord-tenant  matters,  discrimination  etc.  "George  doesn't 
mind  my  not  earning  any  money."  says  Clare,  "He  just 
wishes  my  practice  didn't  cost  us  so  much!" 

Clare  repwrts  the  good  news  that  her  cardiologist  was 
delighted  with  her  recent  two-year  post-bypass  checkup.  This 
June,  Clare  and  George  will  be  coming  to  the  Big  Apple  to 
celebrate  his  40th  anniversary  of  graduation  from  Fordham, 
and  they  will  sf)end  most  of  the  month  with  family  and 
friends  in  the  New  York  area.

AWARD  TO  SISTER  CLOTILDE 


On  Federal  Aid  to  Students 


S.  Mane  Clotilde  Falvcy 

The  college  family,  the  Congregation  of  St.  Joseph's 
and  hei  numerous  friends  rejoiced  to  hear  that  Sr.  Marie 
C;iotilde  Falvey  would  receive  the  UBI  CARITAS  award 
on  April  30th  at  the  Bishop's  Annual  Charity  Dinner.  No 
one  could  deserve  it  inore. 

Sr.  Marie  Clotilde  entered  the  Congregation  of  the 
Sisters  of  Sr.  Joseph  in  1926,  after  having  taught  in  the 
New  York  City  public  schools.  In  1933,  she  received  her 
BA  from  St.  Joseph's  C^ollege  and  in  1937,  her  M.A.  from 
Columbia  L'niversity.  After  serving  as  lab  assistant  Sister 
was  appointed  to  the  faculty  of  the  college  as  a  member  of 
the  Chemistry  Department  of  wfiich  she  subsec}uently 
became  chairman. 

During  her  many  years  of  service  to  the  College,  Sr. 
Clotilde  has  been  active  on  numerous  committees, 
participated  in  numerous  summer  programs,  workshops 
and  independent  field  studies.  A  member  of  several 
professional  chemical  societies,  she  received  citations 
from  the  American  Chemical  Society  for  her  work  in 
formulating  published  portions  of  the  ASC  Exam  in 
Physical  Chemistry,  and  for  abstracting  and  translating 
many  articles  in  English  and  German  for  Chemical 
Abstracts. 

Besides  this  outstanding  academic  committment,  Sr. 
Clotilde's  energy  and  generosity  enabled  her  to  be  involved 
in  local  and  diocesan  groups  that  were  very  dear  to  her 
heart.  It  isimjxjssibletoestimate  the  number  of  individuals 
and  families  she  served.  Sister  has  actively  participated  in 
Clergy  Concerned  for  a  Better  Fort  Greene,  the  Pastoral 
Planning  Project,  the  Dr.  White  Community  Center,  and 
the  diocesan  program  for  Voter  Registration,  among 
others. 

Topping  her  list  of  interests  would  surely  be  the  Jeanne 
Valois  Guild  for  the  Handicapped.  An  active  member 
since  its  inception  in  March  1951  at  St.  Joseph's  College, 
Sister  Clotilde  served  the  members  faithfully  and  gen- 
erously, even  to  the  present  day  at  monthly  meetings,  as 
aide  during  retreats  and  summer  tcjurs,  as  Editor  of  the 
Guild's  Newsletter  and  as  a  stalwart  supporter  of  Catholic 
Charities'  Office  for  the  Handicapped. 


Many  alumni  and  students  are  being  effected  by  cuts  in 
Federal  aid  for  students  in  this  Adminstration's  budget. 
We  reproducea  letter,  to  President  Reagan  from  theThird 
Supervisory  District  of  the  Board  of  Cooperative  Education 
Services  (BOCES)  which  might  give  you  some  thoughts 
should  you  wish  to  add  your  letter  to  the  many  being  sent 
to  him. 

Dear  President  Reagan: 

On  behalf  of  this  Board  of  Coojjerative  Educational 
Services  I  must  convey  to  you  our  profound  disappoint- 
ment with  the  cuts  contained  within  the  administration's 
budget  for  Federal  aid  to  students.  This  board  shares  in  the 
broad  public  sentiment  which  calls  for  reduced  Federal 
governmental  expenditures.  We  do  not  advocate  that 
programs  which  benefit  other  fields  should  be  trimmed 
while  education  is  left  alone.  It  is  our  recommendation 
that  cuts  in  Federal  spending  for  education  be  realistic,  be 
on  a  time  table  which  is  manageable,  and  be  in  the  broad 
public  interest.  We  find  that  the  cuts  in  the  F'ederal  student 
aid  program  are  unrealistic,  are  not  on  a  manageable 
timetable,  and  are  not  in  the  broad  public  interest. 
Futhermore,  we  find  that  the  additional  proposed  cuts  in 
this  program  for  fiscal  year  1983-84  are  indeed  disastrous. 

This  Board  is  of  the  opinion  that  modifications  in  the 
Federal  student  aid  program  were  needed.  However,  the 
eligibility  requirements  found  in  the  administration's 
guaranteed  student's  loan  program  are  too  stringent.  The 
phasing  out  of  the  benefits  under  the  social  security  system 
is  too  rapid;  the  cuts  in  the  Pell  grants  are  too  severe.  If  a 
stronger  indejx-ndent  sector  is  to  be  built,  then  the 
changes,  for  wfiich  the  independent  sector  was  not 
prepared,  should  have  come  about  much  more  slowly.  If 
cuts  were  to  be  made  in  the  student  aid  programs,  they 
should  not  have  been  so  severe,  primarily  because  educa- 
tion, a  labor  intensive  handicraft  industry,  is  a  field  in 
which  the  legitimate  costs  are  rising  more  rapidly  than  are 
costs  in  general. 

The  elementary,  secondary,  and  higher  educational 
institutions  of  this  country  have'  been  striving  to  in- 
corporate many  more  diverse  sectors  of  the  population 
into  our  schools.  We  have  been  striving  to  reduce  strati- 
fication by  institution.  We  have  been  striving  to  have 
students  attend  the  college  of  their  choice.  We  have  been 
striving  to  have  students  admitted  to  institutions  of  higher 
education  on  the  basis  of  merit.  This  Board  finds  that  the 
administration's  budget  will  significantly  reduce  the 
probability  of  having  this  Nation  achieve  these  goals. 
Therefore,  we  find  that  the  administration's  Federal 
student  aid  program  is  counter-productive,  excessive  in 
the  size  of  its  cuts,  and  on  a  timetable  which  is  un- 
manageable. 

This  Board,  therefore,  urges  you  to  have  the  admini- 
stration's Federal  student  aid  program  redesigned  so  that 
it  is  on  a  workable  timetable,  less  severe,  manageable  and 
consistent  with  our  national  goals.  Thank  you. 

Sincerely  yours, 

Eliza  f)cth  Ann  VanBourgondien

APPOINTED 
PRINCIPAL 

OF 
JAMAICA 

HIGH 
SCHOOL 


Eileen  Guerra  Petruzillo  '53 


Innovative,  attractive,  vivacious,  compassionate,  go-getter 
are  some  descriptive  words  one  might  use  to  adequately  refer 
to  the  newly  appointed  principal  of  Jamaica  High  School. 
Who  might  this  wonder  woman  be?  None  other  than  Eileen 
Guerra  Petruzillo,  Class  of  '53! 

It  didn't  take  Eileen  long  after  graduation  to  enter  the 
secondary  level  of  education,  for  in  November  1953,  she 
started  her  career  as  a  Math  teacher  in  William  Cullen  Bryant 
High  School,  Long  Island  City.  She  received  her  regular 
appointment  there  in  1956  and  also  completed  her  Master's 
degree  at  Brooklyn  College  that  same  year.  '56  seems  to  be  her 
year,  because  she  married  Michael  Petruzillo  in  July.  Michael 
continued  in  dental  school  and  Eileen  made  her  place  at 
Bryant  by  gradually  becoming  a  grade  advisor.  Chairman  of 
Grade  Advisors  and  in  1971  Assistant  Principal  of  Guidance. 
Her  family  grew  also  as  she  became  the  mother  of  Michael,  Jr. 
now  24,  a  St.  John's  grad  and  currently  employed  with 
Merrill-Lynch;  and  Eileen.  17,  a  June  graduate  of  Manhasset 
High  School  who  will  matriculate  at  Fairfield  University  at 
Boston. 

Eileen  thoroughly  enjoyed  her  tenure  at  Bryant  and  her 
stay  was  interrupted  when  in  February  1980  she  became  the 
Executive  Assistant  of  Superintendent  of  Queens  High 
Schools,  Aaron  Maloff.  Her  responsibility  was  to  create 
remediation  programs  in  English  and  Mathematics.  Her 
innovativeness  was  demonstrated  when  a  Competency  Fair 
was  held  in  June  '80  as  a  first.  She  became  responsible  for 
security  in  the  Borough  of  Queens  (High  School  level), 
curriculum,  budget  for  the  Queens  Office  and  liaison  for  her 
"boss"  to  the  Assistant  Principals-Administration.  In  effect, 
she  was  a ' '  trouble  shooter. "  Because  of  the  lack  of  appropria te 
material,  she  added  authorship  to  her  accomplishments  and 
helped  produce  "Fundamentals  of  Mathematics" — a  text. 

She  returned  to  Bryant  once  again  in  September  '81,  this 
time  as  Acting  Interim  Principal.  The  school  had  some 


problems  to  be  solved  and  Eileen  worked  on  the  principle  of 
"raising  the  self  esteem"  of  the  students.  She  wanted  to 
change  the  attitude  of  the  students  so  that  they  would  regard 
coming  to  school  as  a  privilege.  She  opened  school  athletics 
to  spectators  and  reintroduced  the  school  play.  She  en- 
couraged the  development  of  a  foreign  language  enrichment 
program  because  of  the  existence  of  at  least  20  different  ethnic 
groups  represented  in  the  student  body.  Included  in  her 
program  was  the  total  effort  of  the  faculty  working  together. 
However,  change  was  in  the  forecast  once  again.  On  March 
22,  1982  Eileen  was  appointed  the  first  woman  principal  of 
Jamaica  High  School.  Coming  to  Jamaica  presented  a 
challenge  to  her,  and  also  a  void  because  of  her  attachment  to 
Bryant.  Here  she  was  faced  with  a  sufjerior  academic  school. 
She  has  already  made  provision  for  the  introduction  of  a 
Math-Science  Computer  Research  Institute  this  summer  as 
part  of  the  the  summer  school  program. 

This  will  help  to  advise  students  of  their  talents  and  desires. 
It  will  be  opened  to  Sophomores  and  Juniors,  city-wide,  for 
three  hours  daily  for  work  in  computer  labs.  By  February  1 983 
she  will  have  completed  the  modernization  of  her  science  labs 
and  shop  areas  and  will  have  in  op>eration  three  micro 
computer  labs.  She  foresees  computerizing  the  school  records 
to  make  for  better  communication  with  tfie  community.  She 
hopjes  to  encourage  parochial  students  to  attend  because  of 
the  strong  academic  base  the  school  offers. 

To  do  all  that  she  has  accomplished,  she  readily  admits  that 
she  has  sacrificed  her  leisure.  During  vacation  (seriods  she 
and  her  family  travel  and  she  actively  participates  in  bridge 
and  tennis.  She  and  her  daughter  play  in  competition.  Her 
daughter  is  first  player  on  the  singles  team  at  school  and 
Eileen  is  very  proud.  She  is  an  exciting  person  who,  as  a 
plaque  awarded  to  her  stated,  "she  shared,  she  cared,  and  she 
dared  to  do".

Frank  and  Linda  Borelli  Ridzi  13 

Our  apostolate  started  for  us  in  1973.  I  was  finishing  my 
senior  year  at  St.  Joseph's  and  Frank  and  I  planned  to  be 
married  in  Oriober.  I  had  my  student  loan  to  pay  off  and 
Frank  and  I  wanted  to  "grow"  into  our  married  lives  together 
— we  didn't  want  to  start  to  raise  a  family  immediately.  The 
theology  courses  with  Fr.  Ferris,  my  talks  with  Fr.  C^ntley, 
and  the  example  and  teachings  of  my  parents  led  me  to  look 
for  a  Ciitholic  way  for  me  and  Frank  to  plan  our  family. 

We  sought  help  from  doctors  and  clergy  and  discovered 
that  rhythm  works  only  if  a  woman  has  regular  cycles.  This 
did  not  apply  to  me.  .\fter  almost  a  year  of  searching,  we 
finally  found  a  simple  three  page  pamphlet  on  Natural 
Family  Planning  and  about  sessions  being  given  by  couples 
who  were  using  the  method  and  who  volunteered  their  time 
to  teach  other  couples.  We  made  the  long  drive  out  to  Long 
Island,  to  a  lei  ture  hall.  There,  with  twelve  other  couples  we 
began  the  first  of  two  sessions,  three  hours  long,  with  Carman 
and  Jean  Fallace.  They  taught  us  how  to  use  natural  signs  of 
fertility  to  plan  or  postpone  conception.  This  was  the  answer 
to  our  prayers  and  during  the  months  that  followed,  we 
thought  of  the  many  couples  who  had  never  heard  of  the  plan 
or  that  it  was  available.  We  entered  the  teacher-training 
program  in  1974  and  started  to  teach  with  other  more 
experienced  couples  out  on  Long  Island.  In  1978,  we  started 
teaching  in  two  centers,  one  in  Brooklyn — St.  Edmund's 
Parish  and  the  other  in  Queens — St.  John's  Hospital.  Today , 
the  New  York  .\rchdiocese,  the  Brooklyn  Diocese  and  the 
RcKkville  Center  diocese  have  Natural  Family  Planning 
sessions  available  to  couples  wanting  to  learn  about  it.  There 
are  about  fifty  teaching  couples  trained  to  teach  the  method 
and  they  are  all  \olunteers  wanting  to  share  what  they  have 
learned. 

Frank  and  I  have  found  that  this  fertility  awareness  has 
heljx-d  us  to  learn  about  each  other  and  share  new  things 
between  us.  I  learned  lobeawareof  and  cope  with  mocxiiness 
due  to  hormonal  changes  and  also  that  irregularity  was 
normal  for  me.  We  know  that  our  children  will  never  be 
exposed  to  possible  side  effects  of  artificial  birth  control 
methods,  that  we  can  plan  our  family  with  "God  as  the 
author  of  life  as  it  is  and  comes  to  be"  (Humanae  Vitae).  It  is 
mar\elous  that  Citxl  has  given  each  woman  this  special  time 
of  fertility  and  so  to  co-create  with  Him.  We  have  accepted 
God's  plan,  our  natural  fertility  and  infertility,  and  are 
happy. 

Natural  Family  Planning  is  as  reliable  as  the  pill  and 
sterilization,  and  more  reliable  than  inost  of  the  other 
methods  that  are  available  as  alternatives.  We  have  used  the 


n 

Couple 
Rpostolote 


method  to  postpone,  and  then  to  plan  and  then  to  postpone 
and  then  to  plan  again.  Frankie  is  five  years  old,  and  John 
Paul  is  one  and  a  half.  When  we  go  out  to  teach  on  Friday 
nights,  Frankie  often  asks  us  "Are  you  going  to  talk  about 
Natural  Family  Planning.  .\re  you  going  to  tell  diem  God's 
way  to  have  a  family?"  We  know  that  this  is  what  Pof>e  Paul 
VI  meant  when  he  sjxjke  about  "...  a  remarkable  kind  of 
apostolate ...  by  which  equals  place  themselves  in  the  service 
of  equals." 
The  Husband's  View: 

When  we  were  planning  our  wedding  and  starting  to  think 
about  children,  I  remember  thinking  that  it  was  Linda's  job 
to  handle  the  spacing  of  the  children.  I  would  tell  her  when  I 
wanted  the  children  and  she  would  take  care  of  it  in  whatever 
way  she  thought  best.  I  wasn't  naive.  I  didn't  expwct  that 
because  I  said  I  wanted  a  boy  at  a  given  time,  she  would 
necessarily  have  a  boy.  When  we  first  attended  the  sessions  for 
Natural  Family  Planning  (she  made  me  come),  it  suddenly 
dawned  on  me  that  planning  our  family  was  a  joint  re- 
sponsibility. 

We  have  been  involved  with  Natural  Family  Planning  for 
eight  years,  volunteering  our  time  to  teach  other  couples  and 
growing  together  as  a  couple.  When  Humanae  Vitae  was  first 
published,  I  remember  thinking  how^  ridiculous  it  was  that 
married  couples  were  supposed  to  use  natural  methods  to 
plan  their  families.  Everyone  knew  that  rhythm  didn't  work, 
and  too,  who  wants  to  abstain?  When  we  first  attended  the 
sessions  and  learned  that  Natural  Family  Planning  is  not 
rhythm,  I  started  to  listen.  I  learned  that  the  man  is  always 
fertile  and  the  woman  is  fertile  only  when  she  ovulates  and 
there  are  reliable  signs  that  she  can  see.  I  also  learned  that 
abstinence  is  not  as  bad  or  as  hard  as  I  thought  it  would  be. 
Linda  and  I  have  found  that  when  we  are  fxjstponing 
conception  and  abstaining  during  the  fertile  part  of  the  cycle, 
we  are  much  more  aware  of  each  other  and  more  attentive  to 
each  others  feelings  and  needs.  I  think  this  abstinence  help)ed 
us  to  get  through  some  of  the  hard  times  because  it  help)ed  us 
to  sacrifice  for  each  other  out  of  love  for  each  other.  Natural 
Family  Planning  has  become  more  than  a  method  of  planning 
a  family  for  us.  It  has  beome  a  way  for  us  to  show  our  love  for 
each  other.

Planning  and  the  Chaircouple  of  the  Board  of  Directors  for

Teaches 
Prison 


Inmates 


Jean  Rajenski  Reynolds  '67 

Since  1979  I've  been  teaching  basic  education  skills  to 
inmates  in  a  Florida  prison.  My  students  are  men  who  have 
been  convicted  of  murder,  rape,  burglary,  forgery,  and  similar 
crimes.  Our  present  enrollment  is  close  to  150,  not  including 
inmates  enrolled  in  vocational  and  college  classes.  Last  year 
thirty-six  inmates  earned  diplomas  by  passing  a  standardized 
high-school  equivalency  examination. 

When  I  started  out  as  the  first  teacher  here,  we  had  only 
twenty-five  students.  For  most  of  that  first  year  I  taught  alone 
in  a  makeshift  classroom  in  the  prison's  visiting  room.  We 
had  tables  and  chairs,  two  portable  chalkboards,  and  some 
used  textbooks  that  had  been  discarded  by  the  local  school 
district.  Since  then  our  staff  has  grown  to  six  teachers,  and  we 
now  have  a  modern  school  building  (constructed  with  inmate 
labor). 

Although  some  of  our  students  have  excellent  academic 
backgrounds,  for  others  even  the  alphabet  is  a  mystery.  All  of 
our  students  are  volunteers,  and  most  are  grateful  for  the  help 
we  give  them.  I  especially  enjoy  teaching  English  to  a  group 
of  Hispanic  inmates.  (Incidentally,  our  prison  is  one  of  the 
first  in  Florida  to  have  special  classes  for  inmates  who  don't 
speak  English.) 

People  often  ask  me  about  prison  security.  Am  I  searched 
when  I  come  into  the  compound  every  morning?  Is  a  guard 
posted  in  our  school  building?  Do  I  carry  a  gun?  The  answer 
to  all  three  questions  is  no.  There  were  a  few  routine  friskings 
the  first  year  I  worked  here,  but  that  procedure  has  changed. 
We  handle  most  discipline  problems  without  involving  the 
security  personnel,  and  no  one  on  the  compound  is  armed. 
But  I  was  taught  how  to  fire  a  .38  Smith  Weston  revolver  and  a 
Remington  shotgun  in  my  orientation  course,  and  I  also 
studied  types  of  tear  gas  and  riot-control  procedures. 
(Incidentally,  I  outshot  some  of  the  men  in  my  class — and  my 
friend  Gaye  and  I,  the  only  women  in  our  group,  scored  the 
top  grades  in  our  written  final  examination!) 

Besides  teaching  my  regular  classes.  I've  given  training  in 
transactional  analysis  and  communication  skills  to  both 
officers  and  inmates  here.  In  January  I  conducted  training 
workshops  for  teachers  in  two  other  Florida  prisons. 

Our  classes  are  probably  very  much  like  adult  education 
classes  anywhere.  We  show  educational  films  frequently  and 


occasionally  have  outside  speakers  come  in.  Holidays  are 
celebrated  with  candy  and  cufxrakes.  My  favorite  technique 
for  livening  things  up  is  to  find  an  excuse  to  wear  a  costume 
to  work.  So  far  I've  been  a  gypsy,  an  Indian  princess,  and  an 
angel  for  Halloween.  At  Christmas  I  wear  a  Mrs.  Santa  Claus 
outfit  that  I  made  from  a  red  flannel  nightgown.  One  year  I 
celebrated  Scott  Joplin's  birthday  by  dressing  up  like  a 
ragtime  pianist  and  giving  a  piano  recital.  I  suspect  that  our 
moments  of  unbending  keep  morale  up  and  help  the  inmates 
remember  that  we're  all  human. 

Everyone  on  our  staff  believes  that  education  is  vital  for 
inmates  who  want  to  succeed  after  they  leave  here,  and  we  all 
wish  that  more  inmates  would  volunteer  for  school.  Oc- 
casionally we  hear  from  paroled  students  who  want  to  let  us 
know  how  much  their  schooling  has  meant  to  them.  Of 
course  some  inmates  are  too  immature  to  apply  themselves 
and  benefit  from  our  program — but  that's  a  problem  that 
teachers  everywhere  have  to  face  from  time  to  time. 

It's  hard  to  describe  how  rewarding  it  is  to  teach  here.  Our 
inmates  come  to  class  with  a  long  string  of  failures  behind 
them.  Many  of  them  have  never  had  a  positive  school 
experience — and  we  watch  them  learn  and  grow  right  before 
our  eyes.  One  inmate  started  out  in  my  elementary  class, 
earned  his  equivalency  diploma,  and  then  enrolled  in  a 
college  course  I  taught  at  the  prison.  Very  few  teachers  have 
had  the  opportunity  to  see  the  fruits  of  their  labors  that  way! 
Although  there  are  always  frustrations,  it's  gratifying  to 
know  that  we're  helping  both  our  students  and  society  by 
educating  our  inmate  volunteers. 

Charlie  and  I  have  been  living  in  Florida  since  1 974,  having 
been  attracted  by  the  climate.  For  the  first  four  years  we  lived 
in  a  mobile  home  near  a  lake  and  this  experience  changed  us 
for  life.  The  assortment  of  wild  animals  that  can  be  seen  here 
is  amazing  -  alligators,  otters,  raccoons,  armadillos  and  birds, 
like  anhingas,  herons,  and  ospreys.  We  occasionally  spwt  an 
eagle  and  enjoy  temporary  migrations  of  fjelicans  and  wood 
storks.  We've  become  avid  nature  photograp)ers  and  have 
joined  the  Sierra  Club. 

Before  we  moved  to  Florida,  I  taught  English  at  Taylor 
Business  Institute  in  Manhattan.  After  we  moved  here  I  was 
hired  to  teach  English  to  Vietnamese  refugees  and  eventually 
I  had  students  from  Cuba,  Hungary,  the  Dominican  Republic, 
Germany  and  Iran  and  many  other  places.  Central  Florida  is 
much  more  cosmopwlitan  than  I  had  expected!  I  arranged 
newspaper  publicity,  recruited  American  volunteers  from 
service  clubs  to  help  us,  and  trained  aides  to  work  with  me. 
Since  some  of  my  students  couldn't  afford  baby-sitters,  we 
kept  toys  in  the  classroom  for  their  children  to  play  with.  I 
thoroughly  enjoyed  that  teaching  exjDcrience. 

Another  job  I  really  enjoyed  was  working  as  a  vet's 
assistant.  Charlie  and  I  are  deeply  interested  in  humane  work, 
and  we  eventually  turned  our  porch  into  an  informal  animal 
shelter.  Over  several  years  we  have  gave  away  over  fifty  dogs, 
cats,  puppies  and  kittens.  I  sjsent  so  much  time  at  the  vet's 
office  that  he  finally  offered  me  a  job!  We  ended  up  keeping 
some  of  the  animals  that  came  to  us  as  strays — our  {jermanent 
menagerie  is  ten  cats  and  a  dog. 

Charlie  works  as  a  meat  processor  for  a  local  sausage 
company.  His  usual  work  schedule  is  Monday  through 
Thursday,  so  we  take  three-day  weekend  camping  trips 
whenever  we  can.  His  great  interests  are  tropical  fish, 
landscape  gardening  and  freshwater  fishing.  A  few  months 
ago,  he  enrolled  in  a  horticulture  program,  part-lime,  at  a 
local  community  college.  We  both  enjoy  writing.  He's  sold 
articles  to  several  tropical-fish  and  outdoor  magazines.  I've 
been  published  in  ihe  Anglo-Welsh  Review  (a  research  article 
about  a  Welsh-bom  essayist,  James  Howell)  and  Lady's 
Circle  Magazine  (a  humorous  article  about  dieting).

Josephine  O'Connell  Corrigan 

A  close  friend,  Margaret  Newhauser,  phoned  about  the 
death  of  Josephine  O'C^onnell  Corrigan  '38,  on  June  6th, 
1981.  Though  Jo  had  no  living  relatives,  she  had  many 
friends.  Karly  this  year  we  received  from  one  of  her  Woodrow 
Wilson  associates,  this  tribute  to  Jo  which  was  written  by  her 
former  chairman.  Jack  Raphael  and  who,  with  all  her 
associates  at  Woodrow  Wilson,  loved  and  admired  her. 

The  untimely  passing  of  Jo  Corrigan  brings  back  some 
poignant  memories.  I  clearly  recall  the  day  when  Jo,  a  green 
substitute  teacher  of  Economics,  reported  for  service  at  the 
"95"  annex  of  Woodrow  Wilson.  As  the  teacher  next  door,  I 
undertook  to  orient  the  new  licensee.  After  explaining  the 
mysteries  of  the  rollbook  and  some  other  similarly  fascinating 
details  of  pedagogic  life,  I  tried  to  alert  Jo,  as  subtly  as  I  could, 
to  the  fact  thai  some  of  our  boys  were  not  particularly  noted 
either  for  cultured  language  or  gentlemanly  conduct.  They 
might  give  a  new  substitute  the  "works".  Jo  interrupted  me 
with  a  broad  grin  and  the  memorable  comment:  "Don't  you 
worry  about  me,  Mr.  Raphael.  I'll  tame  them!"  And  she  did! 
With  charm,  toughness,  grace,  alertness,  patience,  intelli- 
gence, humor,  intensive  preparation  foreach  day's  work,  and 
some  choice  language  of  her  own.  "Don't  fool  around  with 
Wrong-Way  Corrigan!"  became  a  password  at  "95". 

And  I  recall,  too,  the  day  when  Joe  was  mterly  crushed  by 
the  news  that  her  beloved  husband  had  fallen  on  the 
beachhead  at  Anzio.  Her  face  bathed  in  tears,  Jo  resolutely 
refused  all  offers  of  help,  and  rushed  home,  driving  her  own 
car. 

To  Jo  teaching  was  not  a  job  but  a  sacred  mission.  School 
was  serious  business  and  she  felt  committed  to  the  goals  and 
ideals  she  had  absorbed  as  an  undergi  aduate  of  St.  Joseph's 
College.  She  was  a  no-nonsense  teacher.  She  sought  to 
maximize  every  day  as  a  learning  opp)ortunity.  She  held 
herself  and  her  students  to  high  standards.  She  drove  and 
coaxed  and  motivated  and  guided  them  not  only  in  matters  of 
knowledge  but  even  more  in  matters  of  values,  ideals, 
emotions,  and  relationships.  She  was  sometimes  stern  but  she 
always  loved  her  boys  and  girls  and  they  respected  and  loved 
her.  Not  surprisingly,  one  year  the  senior  class,  by  secret 
ballot,  chose  Jo  Corrigan  and  another  teacher  as  the  faculty 
member  to  whom  they  would  dedicate  their  Senior  Year 
Book,  C^olumns.  It  was  a  tie  vote.  Jo  had  two  of  die  senior 
officers  in  her  class  and  she  persuaded  them  to  have  the 


MEMORI 
OF  A 


executive  committee  of  the  class  choose  the  other  teacher  who 
was  considerably  older  and  nearing  retirement. 

Jo  left  Wilson  for  graduate  study  and  gained  her  doctorate 
at  New  York  University  in  1966.  She  taught  Economics  at  St. 
John's  I'niversity  and  advanced  to  the  rank  of  Professor. 

In  the  Christmas  cards  which  she  sent  me  each  year,  Jo 
would  insert  a  sentence  or  two  about  her  college  teaching  but 
she  never  lost  the  zeal  and  warmth  and  the  devotion  to  Wilson 
which  she  had  always  treasured  as  her  professional  home. 

As  the  end  neared,  Jo  could  well  repwat,  with  pride  and 
with  humility,  the  message  from  Scripture: 
"I  have  fought  the  good  fight. 
I  have  finished  the  course. 
I  have  kept  the  faith." 
May  the  Great  Teacher  deal  gently  with  the  sweet,  kindly  soul 
of  Josephine  Corrigan. 

J.H.  Raphael,  January  1982 


TEACHES  ...  —  continued  from  page  10 

I'm  a  charter  member  of  a  Dollhouse  Club  here — love 
miniatures  and  have  been  involved  in  some  wonderful 
projects.  At  my  prodding,  the  Jaycee  Chapter  at  the  prison 
has  become  involved  with  dollhouses.  Two  years  ago  the 
inmates  built  and  furnished  sixteen  dollhouses  to  give  away 
in  a  Toys  for  Tots  project.  We  also  gave  a  party  (and  a 
dollhouse! )  for  a  girl  in  foster  care.  This  year  the  Jaycees  and 
my  Dollhouse  Club  are  building  dollhouses  that  will  be 
donated  to  a  social-service  agency  and  a  Ronald  McDonald 
House.  Of  course  I'm  working  on  a  dollhouse  for  myself,  too. 
Mine  has  electric  lights,  and  the  bedroom  wallpajser  is  a 
replica  of  pafjer  from  Theodore  Roosevelt's  Sagamore  Hill 
— scaled  down,  I  should  add.  My  animal  and  dollhouse 
enthusiasms  have  helfied  me  find  some  great  friends  here,  and 
for  thai  alone,  I  am  very  grateful. 

I  just  learned  that  my  pap)er  "Incarcerated  Students — 
Change  and  Conflict"  has  been  accepted  for  publication  by 
the  Correctional  Education  Association.  In  July,  I'll  be  going 
to  Baltimore  to  present  the  paper  at  their  International 
Conference  of  Correctional  Education.

Greenlawn  is  a  peaceful,  sedate  town  with  a  feeling  of  the 
Thirties.  No  one  is  in  a  hurry  and  an  assortment  of  jjeople 
amble  past  the  town's  stores  along  Broadway.  It  is  at  38 
Broadway  that  Florence  Bockus  Datig  '51  opened  up  her 
Picture  Frame  Shof>^a  one-woman  business.  She  also  sells 
paintings  and  other  works  of  art.  Recently,  she  made  a  buying 
trip  to  Florence,  Milan  and  Rome  to  purchase  more  tajiestries 
for  herself,  other  art  dealers  and  galleries. 

When  she  left  St.  Joseph's  College,  Florence  Bockus  took  a 
job  with  Sperry,  in  their  Engineering  Department.  The  job 
was  short-lived  and  she  started  working  in  real  estate.  Soon 
after  she  received  her  Real  Estate  broker's  license  (as  well  as  an 
insurance  broker's).  Florence  opened  her  own  office  in 
Jamaica.  Changing  fields  again,  Florence's  life-time  interest 
and  love  of  art  led  her  to  open  an  art  gallery  in  East 
Northport.  She  had  two  floors  and  conducted  art  shows  as 
well.  Of  necessity,  she  became  active  in  the  framing  of  art 
works  and  over  the  years  became  adept  and  discriminating. 
With  more  and  more  customers  asking  for  this  service, 
Florence  opened  the  Greenlawn  shop  in  1978  and  has 
prosfjered. 

Of  greater  importance  and  pride  than  her  own  venture,  is 
the  achievement  of  her  son,  Billy,  who  graduated  in  May  with 
highest  honors  from  Pratt,  as  a  Mechanical  Engineer.  Billy 
left  last  week  for  a  fine  job  with  International  Papier,  in 
Alabama.

London  Tower 
Once  again,  an  alumni  tour  group  faced  a  crisis  at  the  last 
minute.  The  Laker  flight  to  England  was  cancelled  due  to 
bankruptcy!   But  as  our  poet-laureate  of  the  trip,  Marie 
O'Connor  '31,  quipp)ed: 

What  matter  if  Laker  has  our  fare, 

To  Pan  Am,  we  shall  repair. 
Pan  Am  not  only  took  up  our  flight  plans,  but  provided  us 
with  a  special  VIP  waiting  room  at  Kennedy  Airport.  This  bit 
of  luck  was  the  result  of  the  prompt  and  frantic  efforts  (to 
understate)  of  Sr.  Joseph  Damien  and  Sr.  Margaret  Jennings, 
our  tour  guides.  But  it  augured  the  phenomonally  good 
weather,  the  high  spirits  and  smooth  functioning  of  our 
entire  trip. 

Cherwell  Center,  in  Oxford,  was  our  base  for  five  days,  and 
the  Sisters  there  provided  warm  hospitality,  sp)oiless  ac- 
commodations and  all  meals,  including  box  lunches  for  the 
daily  safaries  to  the  four  points  of  the  compass.  We  celebrated 
Mass  on  Easter  morn  in  Blackfriars,  where  flowers  and 
colored  candles  and  the  baroque  orchestration  and  choir 
proclaimed  the  joy  of  the  day.  At  breakfast  our  thoughts  flew 
home  when  we  saw  that  each  of  us  had  our  own  Easter  basket 
full  of  chocolate  eggs! 

Among  the  many  sights  seen  were  Churchill's  home — 
Chartwell,  Blenheim  Castle,  Compton  Wynates,  the  pictur- 
esque Cotswolds  and  town  of  Burford  where  we  stopped  for 
elevenses  and  a  shopping  spree.  We  toured  the  Oxford 
Universities,  visited  Gloucester  Cathedral  and — unbelievable 
until  you're  actually  there 

Stones  will  never  seem  the  same 

After  viewing  those  of  Stone  Henge  fame. 
On  Thursday,  with  much  picture-taking  and  farewells  our 
leave-taking  of  Cherwell  launched  us  on  to  London  and  a  bus 
tour  of  the  city  before  debarkation  at  the  Grosvenor  Hotel. 
For  the  rest  of  our  stay  in  London,  we  were  on  our  own,  but 
soon  found  out  that 

Our  limbs  we  place  in  jeopardy 

When  we  challenge  the  London  traffic  sea 

We  should  look  right  instead  of  left 

Or  of  our  lives,  we'll  be  bereft. 

When  we  look  left,  we  should  look  right 

And  concentrate  with  all  our  might. 
Scattering,  each  to  his  own  pursuit,  some  to  St.  Paul's,  to  tea 
at  Harrod's,  to  London  Tower,  others  to  the  Tate,  the 
National  Gallery,  a  sail  down  the  Thames — all  found  that 
Sunday  came  too  soon.  Our  delayed  return  flight  (wheel 
trouble)  gave  us  time  to  realize 

How  glad  we  are 

To  have  these  memories 

Of  British  culture 

Through  the  centuries.

We  were  sorry  to  hear  of  the  death  of  Amy  Fraas  Rogers  last  December. 
Amy,  you  may  recall,  received  the  Fordham  University's  School  of  Social

professional  career  included  Supervisor,  Brooklyn  Catholic  Charities,

Supervisor,  Bureau  of  Attendance,  Board  of  Education,  NYC  Arthur  and 
Amy  Rogers  had  retired  to  Florida  in  1979  For  Marie  Duffy  Quinn, 
retirement  in  Columbia,  South  Carolina,  is  very  enjoyable.  She  is  closer  to 
her  son  and  his  two  daughters  who  live  in  Charlotte  NC.  Virginia  and  her 
five  children  live  in  Monmouth  County,  New  Jersey  She  has  one  college

teacher,  I'm  very  happy  to  be  with  young  people,"  Marie  writes.  Jack  and 
Edith  Stanley  Smith,  Marie  O'Connor  and  Janet  Prendergast  VIckrey  were

1932 


April  24,  1982  will  always  glow  in  the  memories  of  the  Class  of  1932.  As 
guests  of  our  Alma  Mater  we  participated  in  a  most  beautiful  liturgy, 
toasted  each  other  with  champagne  in  a  sanctum  set  aside  for  us 
jubilarians  and  then  joined  the  Alumni  for  a  delightful  luncheon.  We 
received  as  a  memento  a  gleaming  brass  paperweight  with  the  college 
seal.  As  a  class  we  thank  Sister  George  Aquin,  President  of  St.  Josephs, 
and  the  two  chairmen  of  the  event  for  their  great  interest  and  thoughtf  ulness. 
Mary  White  Kearney  and  Katherlne  Kelly  Carlln  planned  the  inspiring 
liturgy  We  were  proud  and  happy  to  have  Reverend  Francis  P.  Kllcoyne, 
who  remembered  all  of  us  (he  did!)  from  Sociology  classes  back  in  the 
thirties,  as  the  celebrant  of  our  mass.  Father  Kllcoyne  gave  a  provocative 
homily  on  the  life  of  St  Joseph.  We  were  also  pleased  to  have  on  the  altar, 
Keith  Fennessy,  a  second-year  seminarian  at  St  Joseph's  Seminary, 
Dunwoodie,  son  of  Anne  McCormack  Fennessy.  Those  attending  were 
Anne  Burns  Meehan.  Helen  Coughlan  Worthley,  Edna  Oawklns 
McDonald,  Frances  DIeckert  Rebele,  Catherine  Eppig  Murphy.  Mildred 
HInes  Ryan,  Mary  Hopkins  Engelsklrger,  Katherlne  Kelly  Carlln,  Margaret 
Kenny.  Mildred  Martin  Donnelly.  Anne  McCormack  Fennessy,  Josephine 
McKeon  Broad,  Catherine  McShane.  Irene  Parker  Parks.  Claire  Smith, 
Mary  Whelan  Phelan,  Mary  White  Kearney  and  Gladys  Worlhley  We  were 
looking  forward  to  seeing  Helen  Curran  Flynn.  but  at  the  last  minute,  her 
health  intervened.  We  were  happy  to  have  as  guests  Marie  Berry,  a  close 
friend  of  many  of  us  through  the  years  and  Marjorie  Gustafson.  sister  of 
Gladys  Worthley  We  had  regrets  from  Margaret  Cooney,  Kathryn  Frey 
Lynch,  Sara  Gannon  St.  Pierre.  Winifred  McMahon  and  Gertrude  Unser 
We  talked  with  Kathleen  Murphy  Bemegger  '62  and  her  brother,  Fr.  Dan 
Murphy,  who  were  at  the  luncheon,  honoring  their  mother  and  our 
deceased  classmate,  Kathryn  Driscoll  Murphy  Katherlne  Krebs  is  comfort- 
ably settled  in  a  residence  in  Palm  Beach  She  is  near  a  nursing  home 
where  her  cousin  lives  and  she  goes  there  often  to  help  her  and  other 
residents  with  their  correspondence  and  such  needs  There  were  a  number 
of  get-togethers  in  Florida  this  winter  Buddy  and  Mary  Whelan  Phelan  and 
John  and  Mary  White  Kearney  had  lunch  in  Palm  Beach  in  February.  The 
Phelans  were  included  in  another  party  with  Ray  and  Mildred  HInes  Ryan, 
Charles  and  Margaret  Oliver  Kaiser,  Ed  and  Kathlyn  Ansbro  Wurts,  Gladys 
Worthley  and  Marie  Berry  On  Florida  west  coast,  reunions  were  arranged 
in  Sarasota  where  Anne  McCormack  Fennessy  spends  the  winter.  Gladys 
Worthley  came  from  Ft.  Meyers  to  be  with  the  Phelans.  Marie  Beery  and  the 
Fennessys  Later  when  Jo  McKeon  Broad  was  visiting  Anne,  a  get- 
together  luncheon  included  Bob  and  Sara  Gannon  SL  Pierre  as  well  as 
Laura  Brennan  Loughlln  '31.  There  is  something  magical  about  sharing 
retirement  days  with  good  friends  in  a  balmy  clime.  In  April  the  Phelans

We  wont  even  mention  the  phenomenal  winter  weve  all  experienced. 
No  matter  where  you  lived,  there  was  no  escaping  it  However.  Sheila 
McCarthy  Maher  reports  that  m  her  20  years  in  Northeast  Ohio  it  was  the 
first  time  they  had  a  "snow  day"  on  April  6  because  of  a  blizzard'  Diana 
Potenzano  Fellows  shares  a  common  interest  with  Sheila  in  cross-country 
skiing  Diana  says  it  helps  keep  life  in  Rutland.  Vt  enjoyable  in  winter, 
while  sailing  on  lakes  and  hiking  in  mountains  do  the  job  in  spring,  summer 
and  fall  Two  years  ago.  the  Fellows  and  three  other  families  sponsored  an 
extended  family  of  13  from  Northern  Laos  During  their  I'i  year  stay,  the 
family  learned  English  and  how  to  adjust  to  life  in  our  society  In  return,  the 
American  families  learned  much  about  hope,  trust,  friendship  and  love. 
Last  August  the  Laotians  moved  on  to  Minnesota  to  join  others  from  their 
country  Diana's  son.  Paul,  is  a  freshman  engineering  student  at  the

Last  summer  he  spent  several  weeks  touring  Europe  with  the  United  Slates 
Collegiate  Wind  Band  Bartjara  Maher  McConvllle  wrote  a  delightful  letter 
during  her  two  week  trip  with  Jack  to  five  European  cities  Our  first  stop 
was  London,  where  I  met  with  Ellen  McLean  MacRorle  who  lives  m 
Brighton  We  began  with  Mass  m  Westminster  Cathedral  She  then  guided 
me  through  the  maze  of  the  London  subway,  chatting  all  the  while  in  her 
lilting  British  accent  and  using  expressions  like,  'grotty'  We  visited  the 
Tate  Gallery,  gabbed  all  the  way.  and  as  we  descended  the  stairs  to  the 
restaurant,  a  woman  turned  around  and  I  was  looking  at  Mary  McCat>e 
Ouggan'  You  can  imagine  our  surprise  and  the  amount  of  catching  up  we 
did  over  lunch  Mary  was  also  on  a  business  trip  with  Bill,  one  of  several 
trips  abroad  which  have  made  her  a  knowledgeable  traveler  London  is 
exciting  and  comfortable  because  language  is  no  problem  But  I  realized 
the  Europeans  understand  English  whether  they  speak  it  well  or  not 
Brussels  is  attractive,  compact  and  quite  modern  with  a  sprinkling  of 
centuries  old  buildings  here  and  there  Pans  was  overwhelming  with  gilt 
and  silk  all  over  the  famous  palaces  and  cream  and  butter  all  over  the  food

book  stores  and  was  able  to  bargain  for  some  prize  editions  Marie  Leno 
Gllmore's  splendid  trip  to  Ireland  last  spring  launched  Sheila  on  a 
collection  of  Irish  Belleek  Parian  China,  a  tangible  reminder  of  her
