Sister 

Patricia 

McKenna 


The  death  of  Sister  Patricia  McKenna  on  July  16th 
saddened  all  of  us  at  St.  Joseph's  College  for  she  had  a 
radiant  personality  that  touched  us  as  she  came  through 
the  halls,  greeted  us  or  stopped  to  chat. 

Sister  Patricia  was  assistant  professor  of  mathematics  at 
St.  Joseph's  since  1978.  She  had  attended  the  college  for  a 
year,  1949-50,  but  left  to  enter  the  novitiate  of  the  Sisters  of 
St.  Joseph. 

Initially,  Sister  Pat  taught  at  the  primary  level  in  Our 
Lady  of  Perpetual  Help  and  St.  Ambrose  in  Brooklyn  and 
at  Holy  Family  in  Flushing.  After  earning  a  BS  degree 
from  St.  John's  University  in  1962,  Sister  Patricia  taught 
math  in  St.  Francis  Xavier  Academy,  Bishop  Kearney,  and 
the  Academy  of  St.  Joseph  in  Brentwood.  During  this  time 
she  studied  for  her  master's  in  teaching  science  and 
received  her  MTS  from  The  Catholic  University  of 
America  in  Washington,  DC.  She  also  received  New  York 
State  Certification  in  School  Administration  and  Super- 
vision. 

In  1972  she  was  appointed  principal  of  St.  Pascal 
Baylon  High  School,  St.  Albans.  From  1975-78,  Sister 
Patricia  served  as  personnel  director  for  the  Congregation 
of  St.  Joseph  and  was  a  delegate  to  the  chapter  from 
1985-1986.  She  was  elected  councillor  of  her  congregation 
in  1986. 

Sr.  Patricia  was  very  popular  with  the  students  at  St. 
Joseph's  College.  When  she  was  on  leave  with  a  serious, 
near-fatal  illness,  the  class  of  1982  dedicated  their 
Footprints  to  her,  which  read  in  part:  ". . .  this  dedication 
wishes  her  well  and  hopes  the  halls  of  SJC  will  be  a  little 
brighter  in  the  near  future  because  of  her  twinkling  Irish 
eyes." 

At  the  Mass  of  the  Resurrection  for  Sister  Pat  held  in 
Sacred  Heart  Chapel  in  Brentwood,  Sr.  Clara  Santoro, 
CSJ,  General  Superior  and  a  trustee  of  St.  Joseph's 
College,  delivered  this  brief  reflection: 

"The  Lord  has  seen  me  and  to  my  surprise 
It  gave  my  heart  new  life,  my  eyes  new  sight." 

We  all  have  a  need  for  those  who  can  testify  by  their  lives 
that  it  is  possible  to  die  and  possible  to  rise  again.  Pat 
McKenna  was  one  of  those  people!  For  in  significant  ways 
during  the  past  years,  she  experienced  resurrection  -  and 
her  love  for  life  was  tied  to  the  wonder  of  that  new  life  and 
new  sight. 

The  three  words  on  the  card  we  received  in  Pat's 
memory  are:  Serenity,  Courage,  Wisdom.  I  would  like  to 


Sister  Patricia  McKenna 

use  Pat's  own  words  to  reflect  how  her  profound 
experiences  of  dying  and  rising  shaped  her  spirit. 
SERENITY:  "I  am  grateful  for  the  miracle  of  grace  and 
science  that  has  been  worked  in  my  behalf  and  I  thank  each 
and  all  of  you  for  the  prayerful  support  you  gave  me.  .  . 
Glory  to  God  whose  power  working  in  us  can  do  infinitely 
more  than  we  can  ask  or  imagine." 
COURAGE:  "Being  faced  with  the  realization  of  my  own 
mortality  and  imprisoned  by  muscle  failure  has  forced  me 
to  a  simplicity  of  need  and  a  deep  sense  of  the  un- 
complicated. This  is  confused  only  by  the  consciousness  I 
have  of  the  profound  suffering  of  those  I  left  behind  in 
wheel  chairs." 

WISDOM:  "My  experience  was  very  hard,  very  painful, 
very  broadening,  and  it  leaves  me  very  blessed,  truly 
grateful  and  I  hope  a  better  human  being." 
Pat  McKenna.  .  .  bright.  .  .  vital.  .  .  irreverently  witty.  .  . 
dedicated. . .  restless. . .  tenacious. . .  counselor. . .  friend. . . 
May  the  blessing  of  our  God  be  upon  you 
We  bless  you  in  the  name  of  our  God 

The  following  week,  Fr.  Richard  W.  Ferris  offered  a 
Mass  for  Sr.  Patricia  McKenna,  in  the  college  chapel  for 
faculty  and  students  and  friends.  His  homily  was  a  stirring 
tribute: 

I  am  going  to  speak  to  you  this  morning  in  a  way  that  I 
hope  will  be  pleasing  to  Sister  Pat.  You  know,  therefore, 
that  my  remarks  will  be  brief  and  to  the  point.  If  you  have 
ever  served  on  a  committee  with  her,  you  know  exactly 
what  I  am  talking  about. 

Death  is  a  subject  with  which  we  all  grapple.  There  are, 
to  be  sure,  many  reasons  for  this.  One  of  them,  however, 
has  to  be  the  finality  of  death.  We  have  so  many  sayings  in 
our  language  which  in  one  way  or  another  speak  of 
tomorrow  as  being  another  day.  If  things  do  not  go  well 
today,  there  is  always  tomorrow.  When  we  deal  with 
death,  we  know  that  as  far  as  this  world  is  concerned,  there 
is  no  tomorrow.  We  find  that  hard  to  take. 

The  timing  of  death  is  another  problem  for  us.  It  seems 
that  it  almost  never  comes  at  the  right  time.  When  a  person 
dies  very  young,  we  say  that  he  had  his  whole  life  ahead  of 
him.  When  someone  dies  in  middle  age,  as  did  Sr.  Pat,  we 
say  that  she  was  in  her  prime,  in  her  most  productive  years. 
When  an  old  person  dies  we  say  that  we  had  her  with  us  for 
so  long  that  we  find  it  hard  to  imagine  what  life  will  be 
like  without  her.  The  timing  seldom  seems  right.

Chemists  Present  Papers 


Maria  Sobieraj  '82 


Corinne  Camper  '79 


Each  year  the  Metro  Women  Chemists,  a  subsection  of 
the  American  Chemical  Society,  holds  the  "Jean  Durana 
Mini-symposium"  in  memory  of  a  young  chemist  whose 
scientific  contributions  were  cut  short  by  an  untimely 
death.  The  meeting  took  place  in  the  China  Pavillion  on 
Joralemon  Street  in  Brooklyn  Heights. 

On  Monday,  September  19,  1988,  chemistry-major 
alumnae  of  St.  Joseph's  College  presented  papers  at  this 
meeting.  Corinne  Camper  79  presented  "Opportunities 
for  Chemists  in  the  Pharmaceutical  Industry,"  based  on 
her  experience  at  Pfizer,  Inc.  Maria  Sobieraj  '82  presented 
Ce+3  ->  Re+3  Energy  Transfer  in  Ba  YF5",  based  on  her 
graduate  work  in  chemistry  at  Polytechinic  University. 


Corinne  Camper  received  a  graduate  teaching  assistant- 
ship  at  the  University  of  Connecticut  and  earned  a 
master's  degree  in  Analytical  Chemistry  in  1982.  Since 
then  she  has  been  employed  by  Pfizer,  Inc.,  Brooklyn,  in 
various  positions  of  increasing  responsibility.  Essentially 
Corinne  designs  the  scientific  approach  to  demonstrate 
that  Pfizer's  manufacturing  processes  comply  with  in- 
ternal specifications  as  they  relate  to  federal  regulations  of 
the  FDA.  Corinne  is  presently  Validation  Manager. 

Maria  Sobieraj,  a  summa  cum  laude  graduate,  accepted 
a  teaching  fellowship  at  Polytechnic  Institute  of  New 
York  in  a  doctoral  program  in  Chemistry.  She  has  just 
successfully  defended  her  doctoral  thesis  and  will  receive 
her  degree  in  1989.  Maria  hopes  to  continue  in  post 
doctoral  studies. 


Sr.  Patricia  McKenna,  continued 


Sr.  Pat  McKenna  was  an  extraordinary  woman.  In 
saying  that  I  am  not  attempting  to  make  her  larger  in 
death  than  she  was  in  life.  That  would  certainly  not  please 
her.  When  I  call  her  extraordinary  I  do  not  necessarily 
mean  that  she  did  spectacular  things.  I  mean  that  she  did 
the  ordinary  things  extraordinarily  well.  She  was  a  very 
good  Sister  of  Saint  Joseph,  serving  her  Congregation  in 
many  capacities.  She  was  an  excellent  teacher,  as  many  of 
her  students  have  testified.  She  was  a  very  good  and  loyal 
friend,  as  many  of  you  know  well.  On  whatever  she  did,  Sr. 
Pat  left  the  imprint  of  her  own  humanity  and  her  down  to 
earth  style.  That  is  what  made  her  someone  special. 

Recently  I  have  gone  back  to  read  for  the  third  or  fourth 
time  that  magnificent  little  story,  "The  Little  Prince." 
The  author  talks  about  the  beauty  of  the  stars  and  makes 
the  following  observation.  If  one  looks  at  the  heavens  on  a 
starry  night,  at  first  glance  all  of  the  stars  look  alike. 
If  one  observes  more  carefully,  however,  it  becomes  clear 
that  there  are  many  different  types  of  stars  and  each  of 
them  has  its  own  beauty.  I  think  of  the  star  that  is  Sr.  Pat 
McKenna.  At  first  glance,  she  seemed  quite  ordinary,  not 
very  different  from  the  rest  of  us.  If  we  studied  her 
carefully,  however,  we  became  convinced  that  in  the 
devoted  attention  she  paid  to  the  ordinary  details  of  daily 
life,  she  stood  out  as  an  extraordinary  woman. 


That  star  is  no  longer  with  us.  She  has  moved  on  to 
another  orbit,  another  galaxy  and  she  shines  now  more 
brilliantly  than  ever,  illumined  as  she  is  by  the  vision  of 
God,  the  beautific  vision.  Her  death  is  a  sober  reminder  to 
all  of  us.  The  prayers  at  the  graveside  caution  us  that  we 
are  most  certainly  to  follow  her.  The  only  way  to  a  happy 
death  is  a  good  prayerful  life,  a  life  in  union  with  God  on  a 
daily  basis,  a  life  in  which  we  try  to  do  the  ordinary  things 
as  well  as  we  can. 

We  all  know  that  eight  years  ago,  Sr.  Pat  had  a 
frightening  brush  with  death.  She  recovered  in  a  way  that 
might  be  called  miraculous.  Shortly  after  her  return,  I  met 
her  one  day  as  we  were  both  leaving  the  library  to  go  to  the 
main  building.  We  joked  a  bit  and  then  the  conversation 
turned  serious.  I  asked  her  what  differences  she  thought 
her  experience  would  make  in  her  life.  She  answered 
without  hesitation,  saying  that  she  would  have  much  less 
time  foi  nonsense  and  more  time  for  the  important  things. 
As  I  look  back  over  the  last  eight  years,  I  am  convinced  that 
she  kept  her  word.  What  intrigues  me,  however,  is  this:  the 
important  things  for  Sr.  Pat  McKenna  were  the  ordinary 
affairs  of  everyday  living.  She  truly  did  the  ordinary  things 
extraordinarily  well  and  in  this,  we  would  all  do  well  to 
imitate  her. 


Honored 

by 

Fordham 


In  a  remarkable  tribute  to  Dr.  Ursula  Gerty  '40,  upon 
her  retirement  as  Professor  of  Social  Service  in  Fordham 
University,  more  than  350  people  gathered  for  a  dinner  at 
Fordham  Lincoln  Center,  on  June  10th.  Faculty  members, 
colleagues  with  whom  she  had  worked  in  various  social 
mia ice  organizations,  former  students  and  friends  met  to 
celebrate  the  culmination  of  a  successful  career  in  social 
work  and  leaching. 

Professor  Harold  Robbins,  of  Fordham's  Graduate 
School  of  Social  Services  welcomed  the  guests,  and  Prof. 
John  T.  McCarthy,  SJ,  of  Fordham  gave  the  invocation.  A 
series  of  distinguished  persons,  with  whom  she  had  been 
associated  rose  to  express  their  appreciation  and  admira- 
tion of  Dr.  Getty's  work:  Msgr.  John  Fagan,  Executive 
Director  of  Little  Flower  Children's  Services,  Dr.  Mary 
Ann  Quaranta,  Dean  of  Fordham  Graduate  School  of 
Social  Service  and  Rev.  George  J.  McMahon,  SJ,  Vice 
President  of  Fordham  University.  The  benediction  was 
given  by  Professor  Emeritus  Nicholas  J.  Langenfeld  of 
Fordham. 

Two  of  those  paying  tribute  were  former  students  of  Dr. 
Gerty  -  two  auxiliary  bishops  of  the  Diocese  of  Brooklyn, 
who  are  charged  with  responding  to  the  enormous  and 
difficult  social  problems  of  the  Brooklyn  Diocese.  Bishop 
Rene  Valero,  Director  of  the  Migration  and  Refugee 
Office  and  Bishop  Joseph  M.  Sullivan,  Executive  Director 
of  Brooklyn  Catholic  Charities,  crossed  the  bridge  to 
honor  their  teacher. 

Ursula  Gerty  received  her  bachelor's  degree  in  Social 
Science  from  St.  Joseph's  in  19-10.  She  began  her  career  as  a 
case  worker  for  Angel  Guardian  Home  in  a  work-study 
program,  attending  Fordham  School  of  Social  Studies, 
where  she  received  a  master's  degree  in  1944. 

To  help  in  the  war  effort,  in  1944,  Ursula  joined  the 
Amei  it  an  National  Red  Cross  as  a  medical  soc  ial  worker 
and  was  sent  to  a  military  hospital  in  Hawaii,  then  to 
Guam  and  Japan.  While  she  was  in  Japan  serving  the  U.S. 
occupation  forces,  the  Korean  war  broke  out  and  the  250 
bed  hospital  where  she  served  was  inadequate  for  the  U.S. 
casualties  arriving  from  Korea.  Her  responsibilities  were 
itu  leased  as  faci  lilies  were  expanded  to  a  1 000  bed  hospital 
to  meet  the  increased  demand.  Ursula  also  served  in  the 
Canal  Zone  where  she  was  supervisor  over  three  hospitals, 
as  well  as  doing  case  work  in  one  of  them. 

When  Ursula  returned  to  the  U.S.,  a  grant  from  the 
National  Institute  for  Mental  Health  enabled  her  to 
embark  on   studies  at   Catholic    University  where  she 


Dr.  Ursula  Gerty  '40 


attended  the  Catholic  School  of  Social  Service  full  time  for 
two  years  and  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Social 
Welfare  (DSW)  in  1955.  She  had  returned  to  New  York  in 
1953  and,  while  she  worked  on  her  dissertation,  was 
engaged  as  a  Social  Service  Consultant  for  the  New  York 
Catholic  Charities  Child  Welfare  Department,  continuing 
in  this  capacity  until  1958. 

She  began  teaching  at  Fordham,  and  was  appointed 
Associate  Professor  in  1958  and  full  Professor  in  1969.  At 
Fordham  her  basic  fields  were  in  guiding  research  in 
Child  Welfare  and  in  Social  Work  Values.  She  has  also 
been  a  visiting  professor  at  the  School  of  Social  Service 
Universidad  Boliviana,  Columbia,  South  America. 

Dr.  Gerty  is  president  of  the  Board  of  Little  Flower 
Children's  Services,  which  has  recently  atracted  attention 
for  its  work  with  "boarder-babies."  She  has  been  a  board 
member  also  of  Mercy  Home  for  Children,  American  Red 
Cross  in  Greater  New  York,  the  Brooklyn  Diocese 
Ecumenical  Commission  and  the  Committee  for  UNICEF. 

Dr.  Gerty  is  the  author  of:  The  Adaptive  Behavior  of 
Adolescent  Children  Whose  Mothers  are  Schizophrenic, 
Washington  D.C.  Catholic  University  of  America  Press, 
and  Sisters  in  Social  Work,  Catholic  Charities  Revue,  as 
well  as  several  unpublished  studies. 

She  has  been  honored  with  the  Alumni  Award  of 
Fordham  Graduate  School  of  Social  Service,  and  with  the 
Fordham  University  Bene  Merenti  medal  given  to  out- 
standing faculty  members.  Dr.  Gerty  was  cited  as  showing 
"a  generous  spirit,  an  unstinting  and  conscientious 
dedication  to  all  those  whose  lives  she  touches." 

In  her  retirement  she  still  teaches  a  course  at  Fordham 
and  plans  to  lake  some  onuses  "for  fun."  She  hopes  to 
write  up  for  publication  someol  her  research  projects.  Her 
full  life,  she  savs,  "would  not  have  happened  had  I  not 
attended  St.  Joseph's.  I  am  truly  grateful  foi  those  foul 
years."

Dr.  Geraldine  Keating  Powell  '60 

Geraldine  Keating  Powell  attended  St.  Joseph's  from 
1956  to  1959.  She  transferred,  in  her  senior  year,  to  Johns 
Hopkins  University  as  one  of  three  women  among  fifteen 
students  selected  for  a  special  program  leading  to  medical 
school.  She  obtained  her  BA  in  1960  and  her  MD  in  1964 
from  Johns  Hopkins.  While  studying  there,  she  married 
Gerald  F.  Powell,  a  Pediatric  resident,  and  continued  at 
Johns  Hopkins  as  an  intern  in  the  Department  of 
Pediatrics. 

Following  her  Pediatric  residency  at  Duke  University, 
Geraldine  developed  a  strong  interest  in  gastroenterology, 
at  that  time  a  fairly  new  and  little  known  specialty.  She 
obtained  two  one  year  post-doctoral  research  fellowships 
at  Duke  University  and  was  an  instructor  in  pediatrics 
there.  In  1969  she  accepted  an  assistant  professorship  at 
the  University  of  Texas,  Department  of  Pediatrics,  Division 
of  Gastroenterology,  and  in  1975  became  an  associate 
professor. 

Many  readers  of  Alumnagram  will  recognize  that  the 
area  to  which  Dr.  Powell  has  directed  most  of  her  medical 
career  and  research  activities  is  an  area  of  tremendous 
concern  to  mothers  of  infants  and  young  children  - 
feeding  and  digestion.  The  absorption  of  food  by  infants 
and  the  effects  of  food  and  chemicals  on  the  system  have 
been  the  subject  of  numerous  studies  whose  results  Dr. 
Powell  and  her  colleagues  have  published  in  professional 
journals  of  Pediatrics  and  Gastroenterology. 

Dr.  Powell  has  been  active  in  professional  and  scientific 
societies  and  has  been  honored  with  responsibilities  in 
directing  them.  In  1980  she  was  chairman  of  a  joint  session 
of  several  societies  on  Gastroenterology  and  Nutrition;  in 
1979  she  was  coordinating  chairman  for  Gastroenterology 
and  Nutrition  sessions  of  the  Society  for  Pediatric  Research. 
In  May  1980  she  was  a  speaker  at  a  symposium  on  the 
Immunological  Basis  of  Gastrointestinal  Disease  State, 
held  by  the  North  American  Society  for  Pediatric  Gastro- 
enterology. This  society  whose  membership  includes  all 
Pediatric  gastroenterologists  from  the  United  States  and 
Canada,  elected  her  President  for  1981-82. 


Specialist 

in 

Pediatric 

Gastroenterology 


Dr.  Powell  lives  in  Galveston,  Texas  -  but  does  not  stay 
there.  She  is  frequently  invited  to  give  talks  at  professional 
meetings.  Most  recently  she  travelled  to  Marienhamm, 
Auland  (an  island  in  the  Baltic  between  Stockholm  and 
Helsinki)  togivea  talk  to  the  joint  meeting  of  the  Swedish 
Pediatric  Society  and  the  Finnish  Pediatric  Society  on  the 
subject  of  "Gastrointestinal  Food  Allergy  in  Infants  and 
Children."  Then,  after  a  brief  stop  at  home,  she  went  to 
Chicago  to  a  meeting  of  the  American  Association  for  the 
Study  of  Liver  Disease. 

When  Geraldine  goes  "back  to  work",  she  is  embroiled, 
she  says,  in  the  constant  problems  and  negotiations  of 
patient  care  in  a  teaching  hospital.  Not  confined  to  the 
lecture  platform  and  the  lab,  she  gets  down  to  real  cases. 
She  is  involved  both  directly  and  indirectly  in  the  care  of 
patients  in  the  Pediatric  Gastrological  Service  of  the  Child 
Health  Center  of  the  University  of  Texas.  She  acts  as 
consultant  to  the  pediatric  wards,  the  clinics,  the  neonatal 
nursery  and  family  practice. 

Her  lecture  responsibilities  include  students  in  all  years, 
residents  in  pediatrics  and  those  in  continuing  medical 
education.  She  participates  as  a  lecturer  in  the  teaching 
faculty  of  other  departments,  lectures  to  the  house  staff, 
and,  as  a  guest  speaker,  to  physicians  in  practice,  on 
Pediatric  Gastroenterology. 

Dr.  Powell  takes  pride  in  her  investigation  of  the 
mechanics  of  food  protein  intolerance  and  is  well  known 
for  her  work  on  gastrointestinal  food  allergies.  Her 
present  research  interest  includes  studies  of  food  absorption 
in  abnormalities  such  as  neonatal  jaundice,  cystic  fibrosis 
and  enterocolitis.  Geraldine's  older  son,  Edward,  just 
graduated  from  Trinity  University  in  San  Antonio;  her 
younger  son,  Michael  is  a  guitar  major  at  Berklee  College 
of  Music  in  Boston.

Combined 
Residency 


As  a  student  at  St.  Saviour's  High  School  in  Brooklyn, 
Emily  Sabbagh  enjoyed  two  favorite  subjects,  art  and 
chemistry.  She  loved  them  both  and  thought  she  could 
make  a  career  of  either  one  -  but  which  should  she  choose? 

On  graduating  from  high  school,  Emily  received  a 
Medaille  scholarship  to  St.  Joseph's  College  and  was 
admitted  in  1976.  She  chose  Chemistry  as  her  major  and 
cites  Sr.  St.  Francis  and  Sr.  Mary  Maier  as  excellent 
professors.  In  1980,  she  graduated  Cum  Laude  and  with 
Departmental  Honors.  Continuing  her  studies  in  City 
College  of  New  York,  she  received  a  Master's  degree  in 
Biochemistry  in  1982.  While  in  the  Master's  program, 
Emily  was  first  author  of  a  paper  published  in  the  Journal 
of  Biological  Chemistry,  June  1985,  Alpha-Mercapto 
Probionic  Acid  -  A  Potent  Inhibitor  of  Beta  Oxidation  in 
Rat  Heart  Mitochondria. 

Emily's  real  interest,  however,  had  turned  from  labora- 
tory research  to  the  health  professions.  In  dentistry  she  felt 
she  could  combine  her  scientific  knowledge  and  expertise 
with  her  artist's  feeling  for  form  and  shape,  as  well  as  her 
sympathy  for  patients  as  persons.  She  was  accepted  into 
the  Columbia  University  School  of  Dental  and  Oral 
Surgery,  and  there  developed  a  strong  attraction  to  the 
sub-specialty  of  Oral  and  Maxillofacial  Surgery. 

In  her  second  and  third  year  Emily  felt  the  need  to 
supplement  classroom  theory  and  laboratory  practice  by 
coming  in  contact  with  real  cases.  Using  her  Christmas 
and  Easter  vacations,  her  summer  and  weekends,  she  spent 
a  total  of  six  months  in  externship.  One  six-week  term  was 
at  Harlem  Hospital  as  an  extern  learning  Oral  and 
Maxillofacial  surgery;  another  at  the  University  of 
California  in  Los  Angeles  in  the  Department  of  Oral  and 
Maxillofacial  Surgery.  She  spent  seven  weeks  at  the  Royal 
Infirmary  in  Edinburgh,  Scotland,  in  Oral  and  Maxillo- 
facial Surgery.  At  the  Columbia  University  Department  of 


Emily  Sabbagh,  DDS  '8 


Oral  and  Maxillofacial  Surgery,  she  assisted  in  reconstruc- 
tive surgery  and  in  other  oral  and  maxillofacial  procedures 
for  about  six  weeks. 

Emily  received  her  degree  in  Doctor  of  Dental  Surgery 
from  Columbia  in  May  1987,  graduating  with  awards 
from  The  American  Association  of  Oral  and  Maxillofacial 
Surgeons,  and  the  Academy  of  Oral  Medicine  for  out- 
standing achievement.  As  she  dealt  with  applications  for 
residency  training  she  was  able,  when  interviewed,  to 
speak  from  her  actual  experience  during  the  externships. 
Dr.  Sabbagh  is  now  in  a  combined  M.D.  and  Oral  and 
Maxillofacial  Surgery  Residency  Training  Program  at  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania.  She  will  receive  her  medical 
degree  in  1990  -  in  two  years  rather  than  four  because  she 
was  given  credit  for  two  years  in  Columbfa.  In  1993,  she 
will  be  a  Certified  Oral  and  Maxillofacial  Surgeon. 

During  her  two  years  in  medical  school,  Emily  will 
study  all  other  phases  of  medicine  for  her  medical  degree. 
At  present,  she  is  in  the  Alleghany  General  Hospital  in 
Pittsburgh  for  three  months  doing  Obstetrics  and  Gyne- 
cology. She  finds  that  Pittsburgh  is  a  clean  and  pleasing 
city,  situated  as  it  is  on  the  confluence  of  three  rivers. 

Dr.  Sabbagh  recently  purchased  a  rowhouse  in  the 
Manayunk  section  of  Philadelphia.  She  loves  New  York, 
however,  and  hopes  eventually  to  return.  Her  mother  still 
lives  in  Brooklyn,  in  the  Bay  Ridge  section.  Her  brother, 
John  A.,  who  received  his  degree  from  St.  John's  Law 
School  in  1988,  and  his  wife  also  live  in  Brooklyn. 


Getting  Together  in  Connecticut 


In  March  of  1988,  Eleanore  Kennedy  '35,  who  moved  to 
Heritage  Village,  Connecticut,  became  aware  that  four 
other  graduates  of  St.  Joseph's,  Ann  Jones  Gordon  '36, 
Kathleen  Holland  Janson  '36,  Dorothea  O'Neill  Schmidt 
'36,  and  Jean  O'Reilly  Stone  '38,  also  lived  in  the  village. 

Eleanore  arranged  a  luncheon  at  a  local  restaurant. 
They  met  again  in  June,  September  and  November  and 
plan  to  "keep  this  going."  Since  their  first  meeting  other 
SJC  Connecticut  Yankees  joined  them  for  one  or  more  of 
the  luncheons:  Tina  Carbonara  '40  of  Brookfield,  Madeline 


Kendall  Friel  '32  of  Newton,  Sister  Marie  Louise  Hubert 
'36  of  New  Haven,  Isabelle  Hession  Lonegan  '37  of 
Woodbury,  Kathleen  Mulrooney  McDermott  '30  of 
Bethlehem,  Muriel  McMahon  Mulvey  '36  of  Woodbury 
and  Virginia  Beatty  Trum  '36,  from  Ramsey,  New  Jersey. 
They  take  turns  at  making  the  arrangements  and  love 
every  minute  of  it  -"the  conversation  is  non-stop!"  Other 
SCJgradsin  the  area  who  would  like  to  join  the  group  can 
get  in  touch  with  Eleanore  at  4470  Heritage  Village, 
Southbury  06488. 


ARTIST 


At  an  early  age  Schery  Mai  kee-Sullivan  could  draw.  She 
loved  her  school  art  classes  and  even  then  her  focus  was  to 
develop  her  talent.  After  graduation  from  St.  Joseph's 
College  in  1972,  Schery  enrolled  in  the  Creative  Arts 
Master's  Program  at  New  York  University  where  she 
studied  painting  with  Robert  Kaupelis. 

A  strong  inclination  toward  the  physical  expression  of 
energy  also  directed  her  to  study  dance  with  June  Lewis, 
the  gifted  choreographer,  dancer  and  teacher.  Schery  was 
asked  to  join  the  company  in  1980  and  was  invited  to  teach 
with  the  company  in  1984.  She  is  constantly  inspired  in 
dance  and  believes  art  and  dance  are  intrinsically  connected. 
The  search  of  kinetics,  sensuality  and  infinite  dimension 
of  color,  coupled  with  the  demand  of  changing  shape, 
space,  weight  and  form  is  the  springboard  of  her  work. 

Schery  Markee-Sullivan's  paintings  have  been  shown  in 
galleries  at  Hundred  Acre  Wood  and  the  Henry  Hicks 
Gallery,  both  in  Brooklyn  Heights,  at  the  Polizzi  Gallery 
in  Bay  Ridge  and  Scribbles  in  Park  Slope.  She  has  had 
shows  in  the  Amityville  Gallery  and  Gallery  South  in 
Wantagh  and  the  Jed  Gallery  at  Penn  Plaza.  In  Wantagh 
Public  Library  she  has  had  two  one-woman  shows  and  has 
participated  in  numerous  group  shows  including  the 
Preservation  Grounds  at  Emeric  and  The  Seventh  Avenue 
Show  in  Park  Slope,  Brooklyn.  Currently,  her  paintings 
may  be  seen  in  the  Avant  Polizzi  Gallery  in  Greenwich 
Village,  the  Owl  57  Gallery  in  Woodmere  and  in  Garden 
City  Galleries,  Ltd.,  where  a  very  good  selection  of  floral 
paintings  can  be  found.  A  painting  from  her  American 
Landscape  series  was  recently  accepted  in  the  1986  Juried 
Show  of  The  Fine  Arts  Museum  of  Long  Island. 

Schery 's  hand  painted  greeting  cards  have  been  carried 
all  over  New  York  City  and  nationally  by  such  well  known 
firms  as  Bergdorf  Goodman,  Hallmark,  Greetings,  Harris 
Graphics,  and  Star  Magic. 

Since  1975,  Schery  has  explored  various  mediums 
including  oils,  acrylics,  collage,  pen  and  ink,  pastel, 
pencil  and  watercolors,  as  can  be  seen  through  her 
"Mother  and  Child"  theme.  Her  "Man/Woman"  series 
was  begun  in  1983  and  continues  to  develop.  She  is  now 
working  on  her  "Yellow  Eyes"  series  which  includes 
"Lifeline"  and  "Kites  of  Blood." 

Schery  has  an  intense  energy  drive.  She  strives  to  remain 
faithful  to  her  own  instinct  for  color,  and  constantly  to 
explore  the  open  ended  environment  to  which  every  sense, 
sensation  and  sensibility  can  lead  her. 

Schery  Markee  of  the  Class  of  '72  married  James 
Sullivan,  a  graduate  of  St.  Francis  College,  in  1973.  Their 
first  son  was  born  in  1985.  They  were  blessed  with  Adam 
in  1987  but  lost  him  two  days  after  he  was  born,  to 
hypoplastic  left  heart  syndrome.  They  are  looking  forward 
to  the  birth  of  their  third  child  shortly.

With  Aspira 


Cruz  Sanchez  Reyez  '84GS 

When  Cruz  Sanchez  Reyez  started  a  full-time  job  with 
the  General  Studies  Division  at  St.  Joseph's  College  in 
1980,  she  also  started  studies  in  the  General  Studies 
Community  Health  Program,  attending  classes  after  work 
and  on  Saturdays.  It  took  a  long  time,  but  a  dream  came 
true  when,  on  June  7, 1984,  she  stepped  forward  to  receive 
her  bachelor  of  science  degree  in  Community  Health  and  a 
Certificate  of  Child  Care  Services. 

Cruz'  first  job  was  with  St.  Joseph's  Children's  Services, 
as  a  social  worker  in  a  group  home  in  Williamsburg.  In 
1985,  she  went  to  work  for  Aspira,  an  Hispanic  group  that 
she  very  much  admired,  as  an  educational  counselor.  In  a 
year  and  a  half,  she  was  promoted  to  Director  of  the  Youth 
Leadership  Development  Program.  She  is  in  charge  of  21 
youth  clubs  in  New  York  City. 

A  non-profit  organization,  Aspira  aims  to  motivate 
Hispanic  youth,  to  help  them  to  improve  their  self-esteem, 


to  develop  leadership,  and  to  urge  them  to  continue  their 
education  into  college.  Aspira  has  three  Drop-Out 
Programs  in  the  city  that  work  to  help  children  overcome 
their  apathy  and  indifference  towards  schooling.  They 
graphically  explain  the  need  of  an  education  and  provide 
support  and  encouragement  as  needed.  Children  learn 
about  their  cultural  heritage  and  background  and  take 
pride  in  it.  They  participate  in  group  activities  and  receive 
individual  counseling.  Counselors  work  with  high  school 
students  and  their  parents.  If  necessary  they  go  to  the  home 
and  talk  with  the  entire  family.  Parents  come  to  a  better 
understanding  of  their  children's  potential.  The  child 
begins  to  move  upward. 

Aspira  groups  meet  after  school  and  on  Saturdays  and 
Sundays.  They  have  cultural  events  such  as  music, 
dancing,  plays,  special  festivals,  games  and  sports.  They 
take  trips  to  museums  and  libraries  and  the  seniors  and 
juniors  visit  colleges. 

Children  are  helped  to  develop  study  skills,  improve 
their  marks  and  do  well  enough  in  school  to  apply  for 
college  admissions.  Aspira  helps  them  with  these  appli- 
cations and  will  even  assist  in  tuition  payments.  As  they 
work  with  the  students,  social  workers  tell  them  that  they 
are  held  accountable  for  their  own  and  each  other's 
behavior.  They  are  taught  responsibility  for  their 
community  and  they  serve  the  elderly  in  nursing  homes, 
the  homebound,  children's  groups  etc. 

Cruz  Reyez  loves  her  job  and  is  so  involved  in  it  that  she 
has  little  time  for  anything  else.  However  she  managed  to 
continue  her  studies  after  graduation  from  St.  Joseph's. 
Although  working  full  time,  Cruz  earned  a  master's 
degree  in  Public  Administration  with  a  concentration  in 
Human  Resources  from  Long  Island  University  in  June 
1988.

ACTRESS 


Rita  Paolucci  Vassallo  V 


"I've  done  everything  I've  wanted  to  do,  including 
selling  real  estate,  doing  family  therapy  and  getting  a 
Chemical  Awareness  Specialist  degree.  For  years  I  sang 
and  danced  every  major  role  in  musical  comedies,"  writes 
Rita  Paolucci  Vassallo  from  her  home  in  Minneapolis  to 
class  agent,  Ann  Clancy. 

"Just  want  you  to  know,"  she  continues,  "I  have  always 
read  the  Alumnagram  everywhere  we  lived  -  seven  moves 
so  far  -  and  really  appreciated  your  work.  It's  very  snowy 
today  so  I  take  this  time  to  say  how  wonderful  it  is  to  read 
how  all  are  doing.  Helen  Connell  '50,  Dot  Maguire  Green 
and  Pat  Dennen  Dunne  '52  and  I  visit  whenever  I  return  to 
the  East  and  that's  fun!" 

"Mostly  I  have  my  health,  my  loving  family  (now  that 
parents  and  kids  have  all  grown  up)  nearby  and  four 
beautiful  grandchildren  with  one  on  the  way.  .  .  It's  been 
fun,  with  some  scary  parenting  years  (60's  '70's)  but, 
looking  back,  I  grew  more  from  those  years  and  pain  and 


things  go  well  now.  We're  a  unique  breed  and  we've 
survived.  God  is  Good." 

The  Vassallo  family  moved  back  to  Minneapolis  in  1973 
so  that  Rita  could  play  her  role  at  Chanhassen  Dinner 
Theater.  She  has  been  a  professional  TV  and  stage  actress 
since  1973  and  also  does  radio  and  TV  commercials, 
industrial  films,  modeling  and  stagework  -  mostly  in 
musical  comedy  -  Garrison  Keillor  show  etc.  .  .  Rita  has 
played  Rose  in  "Gypsy",  Mother  Abbess  in  "The  Sound  of 
Music",  Goldie  in  "Fiddler  on  the  Roof",  and  Dolly,  in 
"Hello  Dolly",  to  name  a  few  of  her  roles.  Among  the 
many  TV  commercials,  you  may  have  seen  her  on  3M  - 
Copier,  General  Mills,  Mr.  Donut  (National)  and 
Montgomery  Ward.  She  has  been  in  Industrial  Slide  Films 
for  General  Motors,  Canada,  Royal  Bank  of  Canada, 
Control  Data,  General  Mills  and  many  more.

children  live  in  Minneapolis.  Vin,  Jr.  is  married,  has  a 
daughter  Kate,  8  years  old,  and  another  on  the  way. 
Rosemarie  married  a  Minneapolis  policeman.  Their  son,

Formal  Installation 


On  December  15,  1988,  Adele  Vocel  '65  was  formally 
installed  as  Principal  of  Franklin  Delano  Roosevelt  High 
School  in  Brooklyn.  In  her  address  that  evening  Adele 
recalled  memories  of  those  who  helped  her  along  the  way. 
She  recalled  Phyllis  Capotosto  Johnson  '55  who  introduced 
her  to  St.  Joseph's  College  and  Sister  John  Baptist  for 
being  "such  a  good  teacher."  She  remembered  Sister  John 
Raymond,  who  provided  budding  teachers  with  the  skills 
to  meet  their  responsibilities  in  a  loving  and  caring  way. 
"You  must  be  doing  something  right,"  she  said,  "because 
last  year,  of  the  18  women  high  school  principals  in  New 
York  City,  5  of  them  were  your  students."  She  cited  Eileen 
Guerra  Petruzillo,  her  teacher  and  mentor,  and  Sister 
Mary  Beatrice  who  not  only  taught  anatomy,  genetics, 
physiology  and  all  the  other  -  ologies  but  taught  the 
beauty  of  life  and  our  responsibility  to  enrich  the  lives  of 
others. 

At  St.  Joseph's  College,  Adele  majored  in  mathematics 
and  took  biology  as  a  minor.  After  graduation,  she  taught 
both  math  and  biology  as  well  as  general  science  at  Bryant 
High  School.  At  the  same  time,  she  studied  at  New  York 
University  and  received  a  master's  degree  in  Science 
Education  in  1972  and  is  now  nearing  completion  of  her 
doctorate  in  Education  Administration.  Adele  served  as 
Assistant  Principal  in  Bryant  High  School  and  in  1986 

12 


Adele  Vocel  '59 

became  Assistant  Principal  of  Thomas  Jefferson  High.  In 
1987,  she  was  made  Principal  of  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt 
High  School. 

Believing  that  the  success  of  a  principal  is  measured  by 
the  degree  to  which  all  members  of  the  school  work 
together,  Adele  encourages  students  and  faculty  to  make 
suggestions.  The  way  to  get  things  done  is  to  involve 
people  in  the  decision-making  process,  she  says. 

Praising  former  FDR  principal,  Alan  Irgang,  Adele 
Vocel  adds  that  her  goal  is  to  continue  the  family 
atmosphere  that  Mr.  Irgang  established  and  continue 
integration  of  extra-curricular  activities  with  the  academic 
life  of  the  school.

in  all  areas.  Lori  moved  to  Suffolk  County  in  1975  as  a 
young  mother  and  wife  with  a  commitment  to  her  family 
but  also  with  a  realization  of  the  need  to  fulfill  her  desire 
for  further  study.  While  working  part  time  as  a  nurse,  Lori 
attended  St.  Joseph's  College  and  graduated  in  1981  with 
senior  honors  and  with  the  distinguished  graduate  award.

New  Horizons  Campaign 


Response  of  Alumni 

The  Alumni  Association  responded  immediately  to  St. 
Joseph's  College  New  Horizons  Campaign  by  pledging  to 
raise  $1,000,00.  Individual  pledges  already  received 
indicate  the  enthusiasm  of  the  alumni  ae  and  their  pride 
in  St.  Joseph's  as  it  continues  to  meet  the  needs  of  an 
increasing  enrollment  amid  the  changes  of  an  ever- 
evolving  society. 

St.  Joseph's  College  has  spanned  the  years  from  before 
World  War  I  to  the  space  age.  It  has  grown  from  an 
intimate  group  of  twelve  young  women  and  has  expanded 
from  a  purely  academic  curriculum  to  a  wide  variety  of 
disciplines. 


The  First  Four  Years 

On  October  2,  1916,  a  time  when  few  women  had  the 
opportunity  to  go  to  college,  twelve  young  pioneers  began 
studies  at  286  Washington  Avenue  in  Brooklyn.  The 
president  of  the  college,  Rev.  Thomas  E.  Molloy,  and 
faculty  challenged  these  students  to  academic  excellence, 
independent  thinking  and  integrity  of  action.  Though 
awed  by  the  gravity  of  their  responsibility,  this  small  class 
realized  the  unique  privilege  of  establishing  college 
precedents.  Before  the  end  of  the  first  two  semesters  the 
"twelve  apostles"  as  Father  Molloy  called  them,  had 
managed  to  set  a  lofty  precedent  in  scholarship  and  had 
established  an  Undergraduate  Association,  a  Literary 
Society  and  Le  Cercle  Moliere,  organized  by  the  French 
classes. 

On  registration  day  the  following  September,  fifteen 
new  students  came,  a  pledge  of  future  prosperity.  Early  in 
November  a  Dramatic  Society  was  formed  which,  in 
December,  presented  two  humorous  sketches  at  Queen  of 
All  Saints  Auditorium.  A  College  Orchestra  consisting  of 
four  violins,  four  mandolins,  three  banjos  and  a  piano 
accompanist  made  rapid  strides.  With  a  smaller  Glee 
Club,  they  played  and  sang  at  lectures,  assemblies  and 
Literary  teas.  April  1917  marked  the  entrance  of  the 
United  States  into  World  War  I.  All  twenty-seven  students 
immediately  joined  the  Red  Cross.  They  also  undertook  to 
raise  money  to  purchase  Liberty  Bonds  in  the  name  of  the 
college. 

These  energetic  sophomores  and  freshmen  were  loo 
much  for  the  little  grey  building  on  Washington  Avenue. 
Thanks  to  the  generosity  of  the  people  of  Brooklyn  and  to 
some  special  friends  of  the  college,  St.  Joseph's  opened  in 
the  fall  of  1918  in  the  245  building  on  Clinton  Avenue. 
The  faculty  increased  to  twenty  members.  Now  Juniors, 
the  twelve  welcomed  eleven  new  students  as  their  Freshmen 
sisters.  Junior  year  studies  required  more  earnest  applica- 
tion than  ever,  yet  the  students  continued  fund-raising 
events  to  raise  money  for  the  United  War  Drive. 

With  the  incoming  class  of  1919,  enrollment  reached 
sixty-two.  Two  new  members  joined  the  twelve  in  senior 
year,  Mae  Moore,  who  travelled  from  the  Bronx  every  day, 
and  Amalia  Simonetti,  from  East  New  York.  The  Seniors 
started  work  on  their  year  book  which  they  called  Foot- 
prints -  a  book  of  92  pages  filled  with  memories  of  their 
forty  years,  with  many  photographs  and  sketches.  It  was 
early  in  1920  that  St.  Joseph's  College  Basketball  team 
finally  played  other  college  teams;  Adelphi,  Manhattan- 
ville  and  Mt.  St.  Mary's.  They  won  the  third  game. 

To  express  in  more  than  words,  their  appreciation  for 
the  efforts  made  in  their  behalf,  the  class  of  1920  gave  a 


dinner  for  the  college  president,  Rt.  Reverend  Bishop 
Charles  E.  McDonnell,  and  all  the  faculty.  At  last  came 
graduation  day  for  the  class  of  1920  and  they  left  St. 
Joseph's  with  the  "wonderful  feeling  of  a  task  well  done." 

Steady  Growth 

Throughout  the  twenties  there  was  a  steady  growth  in 
enrollment  and  an  increase  in  faculty.  By  1930  the  Alumni 
Association  had  360  members  and  the  enrollment  at  the 
college  was  246.  In  the  early  thirties,  Father  William  T. 
Dillon,  dean  of  the  college,  called  for  a  program  to  study 
child  development  and  envisioned  a  laboratory  pre-school 
setting  to  provide  actual  experiences  for  students  of  Child 
Study.  Sr.  Margaret  Louise  Shea  implemented  this  program 
and  led  St.  Joseph's  to  preeminence  in  the  field  of  Child 
Study  education. 

Need  for  Expansion 

The  need  to  expand  the  Brooklyn  campus  became 
evident  to  the  next  college  president,  Sr.  Vincent  Therese 
Tuohy,  who  launched  St.  Joseph's  first  capital  funds 
campaign  in  1963.  How  many  of  you  alumnae  lived 
through  the  construction  of  McEntegart  Hall,  which 
opened  in  February  1965?  Will  you  ever  forget  the  size  of 
the  boulders  that  were  unearthed?  Called  on  to  help 
finance  this  project,  alumnae  gave  overwhelming  support. 

Soon  afterwards,  construction  began  for  a  modern 
educational  facility  for  the  Child  Study  Program.  The 
Dillon  Child  Study  Center,  a  two-story  building,  was 
opened  in  1968.  Again,  alumni  support  was  generous. 

A  Period  of  Turbulence 

The  presidency  of  Sr.  George  Aquin  O'Connor  began  in 
1 969  and  was  marked  by  a  period  of  turbulence  and  radical 
changes.  It  was  a  critical  period  for  higher  education. 
Nevertheless  Sister  George,  enlisting  the  help  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees,  faculty,  administrators  and  business  com- 
munity, expanded  our  "small  but  wiry"  (to  use  her  words) 
college's  mission  of  excellence  and  service  in  a  number  of 
ways. 

-  The  charter  was  changed  to  make  the  college  co- 
educational. 

-  The  Suffolk  campus  was  established  in  Brentwood. 

-  A  Division  of  General  Studies  was  created  to  meet  the 
needs  of  adults  of  diverse  backgrounds. 

-  Sister  Virginia  Therese  Callahan  was  appointed  as  Vice 
President  with  a  mandate  to  develop  the  Suffolk  Campus. 

-  The  Suffolk  Campus  was  relocated  to  a  27  acre  site  on 
Great  Patchogue  Lake. 

-  Programs  in  business  and  health  care  were  implemented 
to  provide  contemporary  career  preparations. 

This  brings  us  up  to  date  on  the  growth  of  our  college. 
Throughout  its  history,  St.  Joseph's  College  has  main- 
tained its  core  requirements,  exposing  each  student  to  a 
diverse  academic  program  so  that  with  some  understanding 
of  all  major  areas  of  knowledge,  he/she  will  be  able  to 
make  an  informed  career  choice. 

In  its  eary  years  the  phenomenal  progress  of  St.  Joseph's 
College  came  about  without  heavy  contributions  from 
wealthy  patrons,  foundations  or  corporations,  but  rather 
from  the  contributed  services  of  a  dedicated  faculty, 
religious  and  lay,  and  a  small  but  enthusiastic  student 
body  and  loyal  alumni/ae.  With  the  continuing  generous 
alumni/ae  support,  the  college  looks  forward  to  the 
attainment  of  the  goals  of  the  New  Horizons  Campaign.

1928 


The  winter  blahs  came  early  this  year  so  there  was  little  response  to  the  call 
for  news.  Virginia  Sorley,  daughter  of  Margaret  Sullivan  Fitzgerald,  reports 
that  her  mother  is  doing  well  at  Fairhaven,  VA.  In  spite  of  seriously 
impaired  sight,  she  rides  around  in  her  wheel  chair.  One  of  her  greatest 
pleasures  is  receiving  news  via  Alumnagram  which  evokes  memories  of 
happy  days  at  SJC.  Mary  Manning  Doherty  also  from  Virginia,  was  in  New 
York  this  summer  to  visit  her  brother  Phil  and  family  to  celebrate  the  Phil 
Manning's  wedding  anniversary.  Mary's  recently  widowed  daughter. 
Eileen,  accompanied  her.  Mary  looks  forward  to  the  Spring  wedding  of 
Phil's  daughter  who  is  following  the  family  tradition  of  studying  law.  Hope 
to  see  Mary  then.  Virginia  Sorley  is  planning  to  visit  Mary  Manning  soon, 
on  a  sentimental  journey,  for  it  was  at  Mary's  home  that  Margaret  Sullivan 
met  Al  Mezey,  her  first  husband,  who  became  Virginia's  father.  Marie 
Kelley  Smith  enjoyed  the  fallen  leaves  this  year,  but  did  not  have  to  rake 
them.  Marie  excerises  at  a  very  active  Fitness  Club  where  she  frequently 
swims,  and  walks  a  mile  around  the  track  every  day.  She  relaxes  with  her 
cronies  at  the  Kisco  Club,  enjoying  the  Golden  Years  Mary  Keller  Lawler 
now  has  ten  great-grandchildren  which  will  increase  by  three  by  publication 
time.  Besides  attending  christenings,  birthdays,  graduations,  and  weddings, 
Mary  is  involved  in  parish  activities  as  well  as  diocesan  organizations.  Yet 
she  was  able  to  spend  a  week  at  Cape  Cod,  travel  to  the  Canadian 
Northwest,  and  visit  Washington  DC  on  August  15th  to  attend  the  rites  at 
the  Cathedral  closing  the  Marian  Year.  John  and  Agnes  Kelly  Bryan  are 
active  in  their  church  in  Matawan,  NJ.  as  well  as  with  travel  and  family. 
Agnes'  oldest  granddaughter  is  on  the  teaching  staff  of  Villanova  where 
another  granddaughter  is  a  senior.  Jeannette  Farrell  Amery  doesn't  travel. 
She  stayed  put  at  her  beach  house  all  summer  where  her  family  visited 
frequently.  Her  son.  Ted,  on  weekly  visits  gave  her  an  education  in  the 
history  and  art  of  military  insignia.  He  is  a  serious  collector  specializing  in 
airborne  pocket  patches,  flashes  and  ovals,  and  contributes  to  the 
magazines.  Chute  and  Dagger,  and  The  Trading  Post.  He  is  collaborating 
in  publishing  a  book  dealing  with  Viet  Nam  made  military  patches.  Colonel 
(ret.)  Annette  Nolan  '44  who  is  interested  in  Ted's  project,  visited  Jeannette 
at  the  beach  house  this  summer  and  brought  some  additions  for  the 
collection  from  her  own  insignia  She  also  presented  Ted  with  some 
patches  worn  by  General  John  Corley,  her  cousin,  who  was  known  as  the 
hero  of  the  Battle  of  the  Bulge  and  the  most  decorated  soldier  of  World  War 
II.  Aren't  alumnae  wonderful!  All  this  and  the  cool  ocean  breezes  "made" 
the  summer  The  only  member  of  '28  to  attend  Alumni  Day  was  Jeannette. 
The  classes  were  fun  and  the  day  most  enjoyable.  Particularly  memorable 
was  the  attitude  of  the  younger  alumnae  who  marvelled  that  the  "old 
ladies"  from  '26,  '27  and  '28  could  still  think,  articulate  and  climb  to  the 
classes  on  the  third  floor!

family.  Her  daughter-in-law  and  her  grandson  read  the  scriptural  passages 
at  her  beautiful  Mass.  We  sent  a  Spiritual.enrollment  from  the  class  and  here 
is  a  quote  from  her  daughter,  Cathie,  "Many  of  her  fondest  memories  were 
of  her  dear  friends  at  St.  Joseph's.  The  bond  you  all  kept  was  truly  special  " 
By  the  way  the  address  mistake  in  the  college  announcement  was  mine  - 1 
read  it  incorrectly  -  mea  culpa.  We  have  recently  seen  some  TV  movies

Fall  luncheon  brought  twelve  of  us  together  at  the  Arbor  Inn,  in  October. 
The  group  included  Gen  Archipoli  Kelly,  Mildred  Brogan  Walsh,  Sarah 
Crowley,  Mary  Oalton  Oberle,  Isabelle  Donohue  Fitzgerald,  Marda  Doyle 
Ticho,  Mary  Golden  Meehan,  Zita  Hawkins  Stoddart,  Vera  McNally, 
Margaret  Reiliy  Parker,  Clare  Stanton  Sweeney  and  Kay  Wheeler  Smith. 
We  were  particularly  glad  to  have  Kay  Smith  with  us.  She  had  not  been  able 
to  join  us  for  the  past  few  years  Kathleen  Mulrooney  McDermott  had  just 
spent  a  strenuous  and  exhausting  week  in  New  York,  and  was  too  tired  to 
make  another  trip  from  Connecticut.  We  do  appreciate  Kathleen's  frequent 
notes  to  share  news  with  us.  Dot  Hanagan  Griffin  had  a  previous 
engagement,  but  reported  she  had  just  returned  from  a  trip  along  the  Gulf 
coast,  and  on  her  travels  she  had  met  a  friend  of  Margaret  Parker  from 
Point  Lookout  Ethne  O'Leary  Manz  who  recently  lost  her  husband,  is  at 
present  living  with  her  son  and  his  family  in  Rockville  Centre.  Her  plans  are 
indefinite.  Marion  Toshack  was  very  disappointed  that  she  missed  the 
luncheon.  She  had  made  her  reservation  and  travel  arrangements,  only  to 
have  to  cancel  out  at  the  last  minute.  We  were  very  sorry  to  hear  that  Sister 
Ruth  Wlllmann  had  fallen  and  broken  her  hip.  She  has  recovered  nicely 
and  is  now  back  in  the  convent  in  Rosyln  Bernadette  Hughes  Carroll  sent  a 
delightful  letter  with  her  regards.  She  is  well  and  very  involved  in 
community  affairs.  Unfortunately  an  important  meeting  was  scheduled  for 
the  same  day  as  the  class  luncheon.  As  of  now  construction,  has  not  begun 
on  the  life-care  community  she  hopes  to  move  into,  and  she  is  reconciled 
to  being  in  her  condo  for  another  two  years.  As  you  notice  nearly  all  of  our 
contacts  are  within  the  tri-state  area.  We  wonder  about  those  of  you  who 
are  living  elsewhere.  Won't  you  please  write  and  let  us  know  how  you  and 
your  families  are  doing?  Margaret  Reiliy  Parker  sent  us  Mary  Miner 
O'Halloran's  address  in  Merritt  Island.  Florida.  Mary  looks  good  and  would 
love  to  be  as  active  as  she  always  was.  but  loses  her  breath.  William  is  not 
that  well  either  and  they  are  happy  to  be  in  a  place  that  serves  the  meals 
you  want  and  with  medical  help  within  the  reach  of  a  button.  They  have  an 
apartment  with  their  own  furniture.  Margaret  writes  that  she  is  very  grateful 
that  she  and  Carroll  have  had  very  good  health.  They  will  keep  travelling 
"as  long  as  we  can  climb  on  and  off  a  bus!"  Around  December  first  they  will 
leave  for  Florida  and  as  usual  will  share  the  driving.  You  all  remember  our 
stunning  "gym"  teacher,  Mary  Close.  In  February  she  sent  a  donation  to 
the  Alumni  Association  in  memory  of  Peg  Cosgrovewith  whom  she  kept  in 
touch  over  the  years.  She  writes  that  she  "spent  four  happy  years  at  St. 
Joseph's  from  1933  to  1937.  as  the  Physical  Education  Instructor."  Mary 
lives  in  Niantic,  Connecticut.

The  St.  Joseph's  connection  is  fantaastic!  Marie  O'Connor  has  added  to 
her  activities  visits  to  Eileen  Schilling  Bassler's  '60  recently  opened 
Meadowflower  Nursery  School  in  Fair  Haven.  Eileen's  husband,  William, 
was  recently  appointed  a  New  Jersey  judge  and  that  was  the  occasion  of  a 
dinner  celebration  Mary  Dolan  '33  was  a  recent  correspondent  to  ask  a 
New  Jersey  question  in  which  Dorothea  Sommer  '36  was  interested. 
Bernadette  Hughes  Carroll  '30  and  Marie  write  to  each  other  concerning 
their  future  retirement  homes  neither  of  which  ahs  been  completed  as  yet. 
(But  the  pipes  are  laid!)  Both  are  looking  forward  with  great  enthusiasm  to 
halcyon  days.  Mary  Flanagan  Rigaut  and  Marie  O'Connor  drove  to  the 
Downtown  Athletic  Club  for  the  Autumn  Luncheon.  They  also  try  to  fit  into 
Mary's  busy  schedule,  a  weekly  brunch.  Incidentally,  Marie  was  the  sole 
member  of  '31  to  attend  the  luncheon  but  enjoyed  meeting  her  former 
fellow-travellers,  particularly  Kay  Waters  '29  her  table  companion.  Gen 
Oliver  Longley  who  lives  in  Highland  Beach  Fl.  enjoys  the  fact  that  two 
fellow-alumnae  are  members  of  her  condo  -  Violet  Castana  Falcone  '42 


and  Mary  McVeigh  Williams  '43  Marie  Rickaby  Blake's  daughter,  Margo. 
writes  that  her  mother  has  long  been  ill  Please  include  her  in  your  prayers.

The  high  spot  for  '32  this  year  was  the  delightful  reunion  in  September  at 
Helen  Coughlan  Worthley's  home  in  Glen  Cove.  A  Mass  for  deceased 
members  was  celebrated  by  Rev.  Nicholas  Figliola.  Father's  homily  about 
forgiving  and  gently  forgetting  spoke  to  all  our  hearts.  After  the  liturgy, 
everyone  enjoyed  a  beautiful  luncheon  Attending  were  Kathlyn  Ansbro 
Wurts,  Marie  Furey  Boyce,  Katherine  Kelly  Carlin,  Anne  McCormack 
Fennessy,  Gertrude  Unser,  Mary  Whelan  Phelan,  Mary  White  Kearney  and 
Gladys  Worthley.  We  had  notes  and  calls  from  a  number  of  '32s  who  were 
unable  to  be  present  -  from  Christine  Barton,  Anne  Burns  Meehan,  Helen 
Curran  Flynn,  Edna  Dawkins  McDonald,  Frances  Dieckert  Rebele,  Kathryn 
Frey  Lynch,  Mildred  Hines  Ryan,  Madeline  Kendall  Friel,  Margaret  Kenny, 
Mildred  Martin  Donnelly,  Winifred  McMahon  and  Irene  Parker  Parks  -  all 
with  a  word  of  cheer  in  coping  with  life's  travails.  Edna  Dawkins  McDonald, 
Anne  McCormack  Fennessy,  Mary  Whelan  Phelan  and  Buddy  found  the 
Alumni  Day  program  on  October  22nd  very  rewarding  Many  of  our 
classmate's  children  are  doing  exciting  things'  One  especially  interesting 
achievement  is  that  of  Mildred  Hines  Ryan's  daughter,  Valerie  Bells,  an 
attorney.  She  is  assigned  by  the  US  Department  of  Justice  as  chief  legal 
consultant  on  the  case  of  the  Japanese  internments  during  World  War  II. 
We  offer  heartfelt  sympathy  to  Claire  Smith  whose  sister  was  fatally  injured 
in  an  automobile  accident  near  her  Florida  home.  Please  remember  both  in 
your  prayers.  It  is  very  hard  for  me  to  write  about  Josephine  McKeon 
Broad's  death.  I  do  appreciate  the  sympathy  notes  and  calls  to  me,  since 
many  of  you  understood  my  loss.  Jo  and  I  met  on  the  very  first  day  at  St 
Joseph's  and  through  the  years  we  remained  steadfast  friends  who  shared 
our  lives  with  joyful  devotion.  Jo  had  two  wonderfully  caring  sisters  and 
many  loving  cousins  including  the  Dooling  sisters.  St.  Joseph's  alumnae. 
She  had  a  multitude  of  friends,  classmates,  colleagues,  associates  in 
volunteer  work,  neighbors  and  had  a  special  interest  in  each  and  added  a 
happy  dimension  to  their  lives.  Ever  loyal  to  St.  Joseph's  College,  she 
never  missed  a  reunion  and  regularly  kept  in  touch  with  friends  from 
college.  Jo  served  as  president  of  the  Alumni  Association  from  1975-1977. 
Several  classmates  were  present  at  her  funeral  Mass.  Although  she  had  a 
number  of  physical  problems  over  the  years.  Jo  brushed  them  aside  as 
minor,  temporary  inconveniences.  She  brought  light  and  love  to  many.

Although  a  few  of  our  regulars  could  not  attend,  eleven  of  the  Long 
Islanders  met  for  our  semi-annual  lunch  at  La  Grange  on  October  24th 
-Rita  Bopp  Mahoney,  Jerrie  Young  Murphy,  Mildred  Donohue  Fltzpatrick, 
Peggy  Clarke  Keating,  Liz  Schaefer  Dalton,  Joan  Glambalvo  Palazzo,  Rita 
Pollock  Murphy,  Barbara  Owens  Miller,  Jo  Ford  Scanlon,  Marie  McGrath 
Browne,  and  Mary  Dolan.  We  were  fascinated  by  Bobbie  Miller's  description 
of  a  project  of  the  Columbiettes  -  assembling  "Funny  Alphabet"  books  for 
blind  and  sight-impaired  children.  The  left-hand  page  has  a  letter  in  Braille 
and  a  raised  conventional  version  of  the  same  letter.  The  right  hand  page 
has  attached  to  it  a  small  article,  the  name  of  which  starts  with  the  same 
letter.  For  example,  a  small  apron  is  used  for  A  The  printing,  making  of 
illustrative  articles,  and  assembly  of  the  books  is  part  of  the  Three 
Dimensional  Transcription  program  This  is  only  one  of  Bobbie's  activities. 
She  has  managed  to  find  time  and  energy  to  spend  fourteen  days  in  July  on 
an  Alaskan  land  and  cruise  trip;  in  August  she  was  a  delegate  to  the 
Supreme  Convention  of  the  Columbiettes  held  in  New  Jersey,  and  in 
September  she  was  on  a  golf  weekend  with  the  Bud's  Golf  Club  at 
Mountain  Maid  Inn  in  Marshall's  Creek.  Pennsylvania.  Joan  Glambalvo 
Palazzo  and  Frank  will  spend  the  winter  in  Florida  and  will  return  north  in 
April.  In  May.  her  grandson,  Tom,  will  graduate  from  Boston  College;  in 
June,  granddaughter  Jennifer  will  graduate  from  Massapequa  High 
School  and  another  granddaughter  will  be  a  June  bride.  Rita  Bopp 
Mahoney  has  a  new  grandchild.  Kathleen  Eileen  Ryan  born  July  18.  Katie 
and  parents,  Kathleen  and  Jerry  Ryan,  live  in  Rockville  Center  One  of  our 
more  distant  classmates,  Rita  Herzog  Sturm,  of  Winchester,  Virginia, 
writes  that  she  is  a  great  grandmother  of  two  boys,  Matt  and  Erik  She 
manages  to  get  to  California  once  a  year  to  see  them  Jerrie  Young  Murphy 
is  also  a  great  grandmother  of  two  boys.  Nicholas.  14  months  old  and 
Matthew,  one  month  (as  of  our  lunch  date).  Jerrie  s  grandson.  Mark,  is  now 


23 


in  college;  he  has  also  received  his  pilot's  license.  Her  granddaughter. 
Pamela  is  engaged  and  will  marry  in  the  Spring.  Pam's  brother  Joseph  was 
married  in  October  Jerries  daughter.  Eileen  Hoffman,  will  have  a  show  of 
her  ceramic  art  in  late  November  at  the  Smith  Gallery  on  Madison  Avenue, 
and  granddaughter,  Megan,  will  be  dancing  in  "Nutcracker."  Both  Ceedle 
David  and  Marie  Murphy  are  in  touch  with  S.  Mary  Germaine  (Grace 
Flnlay),  who  is  consultant  to  the  President  of  Catholic  University  of  Puerto 
Rico  in  Ponce,  where  she  is  researching  the  history  of  the  Josephites  in 
Puerto  Rico.  As  an  extracurricular  activity.  S.  Germaine  is  taking  a 
computer  course  -  in  Spanish!  Catherine  Gebelein  Earl,  in  a  letter  to  Sr. 
George  Aquln  recalls  the  Brooklyn  Campus  "where  I  joyfully  attended  and 
enjoyed  the  Chapel  and  other  facilities  and  received  an  excellent  academic 
basis  for  life.  I  was  not  a  Catholic  at  the  time.  .  .  I  was  converted  to 
Catholicism  at  age  18"  in  1952,  Catherine  received  her  LLB  from  St.  John's 
and  practiced  law  at  Shokan,  New  York  for  twenty  years.  She  was  admitted 
to  the  N.Y.  State  Bar  at  age  40!  Catherine  retired  some  19  years  ago  in 
Deming,  New  Mexico,  where  she  enjoys  the  desert,  the  beautiful  skies, 
clean  air  and  sunshine  -  "close  to  God's  Beauty  and  Love."  The  sound  basis 
for  life  was  given  to  me  by  you  all  at  St.  Joe's  -  Sister  Lorenzo,  Sister 
Manuella,  Sister  Charitina  and  others  and  of  course  -  Father  Dillon.  We 
weather  many  storms  and  the  strength  to  bear  them  is  the  Faith  I  received 
at  St.  Joe's.  I  had  five  close  deaths  -  my  only  child,  a  son  killed  at  28,  and  a 
half  year  after,  my  husband  at  51.  (The  Dillon  Center  has  a  plaque  in  her 
son's  memory-  Harold  Carlson).  I  thank  God  for  50  years  of  life  after  I  was 
close  to  death  at  King's  County  Contagious  Hospital  in  1938.  Catherine 
was  married  again  in  1984  to  Herbert  W  Earl,  a  fine  husband  who  needs 
prayers  because  of  a  debilitating  illness.  Please  remember  him.

At  Alumni  Day  in  October,  there  were  only  three  of  us,  Agnes  Brown 
Drummond,  Muriel  Hottenroth  Magenhelmer  and  Marie  Lilly.  Sure  hope 
we'll  be  better  represented  at  the  Spring  Luncheon  as  it  will  mark  our  55th 
Anniversary!  Let's  meet  again  for  a  grand  celebration.  Muriel  had  a  reunion 
with  Dorothy  Burgen  Loehfelm  at  a  surprise  birthday  party  given  by  her 
daughter.  Barbara,  at  her  home  in  Glastonbury,  CT.  Dorothy  and  Bob

from  knee  relacement  and  is  doing  very  well.  Eleanor  is  also  doing  well  after 
her  serious  operation  and  John  has  recovered  from  a  cataract  operation.

What's  for  lunch?  The  answer  was  provided  recently  at  the  delightful 
Alumnae  Luncheon  at  the  Downtown  Athletic  Club  for  Mary  Eliz  McL 
Farrell,  Edna  Brennan  Maloney,  Anne  Seitz  Smith  and  Helen  Brown.  Helen 
recently  heard  from  Harriet  Faye  Wynne,  who  live  in  Boston  with  Bob  and 
who  likes  Massachusetts.  Harriet  was  in  touch  with  the  alumni  office  too,  for 
addresses  etc.  Try  to  leave  Massachusetts  next  spring  and  attend  the 
luncheon  on  April  8th,  Harriet!  Edna  told  us  of  lunching  with  Kay  Allen  and 
Mary  Lavery  and  they  chatted  about  their  many  pals  in  St.  Joe's  whom  they 
met,  courtesy  of  Marion  Brennan  and  Kay  and  Peggy  Lavery.  Kay  Allen  was 
in  touch  with  Betty  Devlin  Lockwood,  who  sold  her  home  in  Bradenton,  but 
bought  another  in  Sarasota.  All  the  while  we  were  hoping  she  would  return 
to  us  in  the  "north  country."  At  another  luncheon  in  Bay  Ridge.  Grace 
Flannery  Morris,  Florence  Kemp  Carberry  and  yours  truly  Anne  Seltz  Smith 
learned  that  Florence's  son  John,  who  has  his  MBA  from  Harvard  Business 


School,  had  been  invited  to  give  a  lecture  there  on  the  ups  and  downs  of 
Wall  Street  and  environs.  Florence's  daughter,  Sr.  Kathleen  Carberry  CSJ 
'63,  celebrated  twenty-five  years  as  a  Sister  of  St.  Joseph,  and  had  a 
beautiful  Mass  and  reception  in  Brentwood  Eleanor  Ivers  Dugan  plans  a 
Florida  vacation  in  January,  in  the  area  of  Tarpon  Springs,  famed  home  of 
the  "sponges".  They  now  have  two  Catholic  churches  there,  she  says, 
because  the  Catholic  population  keeps  growing.  Eleanor  is  still  an  avid 
golfer  and  also  enjoys  bridge,  especially  duplicate  bridge.  She  chats 
frequently  with  her  son  who  lives  in  Dallas.  Vivian  Bird,  still  in  Freeport.  now 
has  a  nephew  living  with  her.  Until  recently  she  also  enjoyed  the  company 
of  a  niece,  until  she  married.  Vivian,  who  is  retired,  told  me  that  Freeport 
has  a  woman  mayor  who  is  doing  an  excellent  job.  Also  retired  is  Rosalie 
Sullivan  Parrett.  She  and  Joe  live  in  Elmhurst  and  she  still  meets  with  a 
local  group  of  pals  from  grammar  school.  Rosalie  mentioned  Helen  Collins 
Rod  who  started  SJC  with  us  and  attended  for  three  years  She  later 
returned  to  SJC  to  finish  her  education,  graduating  in  1973.  Helen  inquired 
about  Catherine  Wills  and  I  told  her  that  although  she  sometimes  uses  a 
cane.  Catherine  continues  to  lead  an  active  life.  She  does  work  for  Our 
Lady  of  the  Rosary  church  and  I  have  met  her  at  the  Ladies  of  Charity 
affairs  in  New  York,  and  Helen  Dermody  as  well  -another  faithful, 
hardworking  member  of  that  organization.  Catherine's  brother  comes 
down  every  Sunday  from  Goldens  Bridge,  NY,  to  spend  the  day  with  her. 
Genevieve  Sheerin,  now  in  Bay  Ridge,  plans  a  trip  to  Phoenix.  Arizona,  for 
the  wedding  of  her  nephew,  Robert.  She  has  been  there  before  and  has 
made  the  grand  tour  including  Yellowstone  Park,  the  Grand  Canyon  etc. 
Genevieve  spends  much  time  with  her  niece,  Mary  Ellen  McManus 
Maguire  and  her  family  who  live  nearby  We  learned  that  Jane  McLoughlln 
O'Connor  underwent  surgery  recently  but  is  recovering  nicely.  Jane's 
three  daughters  each  presented  their  parents  with  a  grandchild  this  year! 
Barbara,  who  lives  in  San  Francisco,  had  Jane  whose  two  year  old  sister  is 
Mary.  Christine,  a  lawyer,  living  in  Denver  had  her  first  child,  Benjamin  on 
July  16th  and  on  August  6th,  Josephine  had  Claire,  little  sister  of  Lynn.  Rod 
and  Jane  flown  out  to  CA  and  CO  to  see  the  families  there.  Jo.  John  and 
daughters  live  nearby  in  Queens.  Mary  Eliz  McL  Farrell's  youngest, 
Elizabeth,  was  married  last  August  in  Massachusetts,  where  all  the 
relatives  and  friends  gathered  for  a  three  day  weekend.  The  weather,  as 
well  as  the  wedding  and  the  whole  weekend  of  events,  was  perfect.  All 
seven  children  are  now  married.  Anne  Scanned  Smith  moved  to  Warrenton, 
Virginia,  but  has  kept  her  pad  in  Peter  Cooper  Village.  Her  brother,  Father 
Richard,  is  in  St.  John's  Church  in  Alexandria  and  Anne  is  planning  to 
move  up  that  way,  as  another  brother,  Monsignor  Tom,  is  in  that  area  also. 
Anne  is  very  fond  of  Warrenton,  however,  extolling  the  merits  of  the  library 
there,  the  marvelous  antique  shops  and  the  friendly  people  and  has  second 
thoughts  about  leaving.  We  offer  our  condolences  to  Belle  Robertson 
O'Connor  on  the  death  of  her  husband  last  April  and  to  Vita  Aloisio 
Domino,  whose  husband,  Francis,  died  on  October  8,  1988.  Please 
remember  them  in  your  prayers  and  Belle,  too,  who  has  not  been  too  well. 
Catherine  Lottus  wrote  regarding  the  death  of  Mercy  Peppard  Francke 
who  died  on  August  14th.  Mercy  had  started  SJC  with  us  but  lost  six 
months  for  personal  reasons  and  received  her  diploma  in  1936.  Please 
remember  her  and  her  family  in  your  prayers,  also.  Grace  Flannery  Morris 
was  also  very  friendly  with  Mercy  years  ago  We  look  forward  to  seeing

We  were  sorry  to  hear  of  the  death  of  Mercy  Peppard  Franke  recently  and 
extend  sympathy  to  her  family  and  remember  her  in  our  prayers.  Last 
summer,  John  and  Virginia  Humphreys  Cooke  celebrated  their  fiftieth 
wedding  anniversary.  Monsignor  Diviney  said  a  special  Mass  for  them  at 
their  parish  church  which  was  followed  with  lunch  at  the  Westhampton 
Country  club.  They  were  joined  by  all  their  children  and  their  spouses  and 
sixteen  of  the  eighteen  grandchildren.  "It  was  a  wonderful  day  -  God  has 
been  very  good  to  us."  After  reading  of  the  "finding"  of  Kay  Morgan,  Virginia 
Norton  Morgan  wrote  from  Albuquerque,  NM.  asking  for  her  address  -  old 
friends  were  reunited.  Virginia  does  volunteer  work  for  St.  Vincent  de  Paul 
and  is  a  member  of  the  Holy  Ghost  Prayer  Group.  She  and  John  find  time  for 
a  little  travelling  now  and  then.  Via  the  grapevine,  we  hear  that  Claire 
Brennan  Suchan's  daughter  was  a  bride  this  year  -  in  Sparta,  New  York. 
Again,  Alumni  Day  on  October  22nd.  at  the  college,  was  a  delight.  Betty 
Pyne  Dunleavy  was  the  lone  attendant  from  '36.  "The  college  is  just 
beautiful  and  it  is  worth  the  time  and  effort  to  visit  just  to  see  the  many 
improvements  that  have  been  made  in  the  last  fifty  years",  she  says.  The  Fall 
Luncheon  on  November  5th,  at  the  Downtown  Athletic  Club,  Manhattan, 


24 


was  attended  by  me,  Dot  Delay,  Isabel  Farrell  and  Alice  Hagan  Flnnerty. 

However,  the  lovely  view  of  the  harbor  from  the  16th  floor  was  obscured  by 
rain  and  fog.  Dot  Sommer  missed  the  event  because  she  was  unable  to 
make  connections  with  someone  to  travel  into  the  city.  We  offer  heartfelt 
sympathy  toAnn  Jones  Gordon  on  the  death  of  her  husband.  Remember 
both  in  your  prayers.  Alice  Fagan  Flnnerty  has  fifteen  grandchildren.  Dot 
Delay  has  been  homebound  due  to  her  sister's  accident  at  the  Atlantic 
Beach  Club.  However,  her  sister  is  doing  well.  We  look  forward  to  a  reunion 
at  Dot's  cabana  in  summer  '89.  Dot  and  Isabel  play  weekly  bridge  and  attend 
the  theater  in  New  York  together  -  the  latest:  The  Phantom  of  the  Opera!  I, 
Betty  Pyne  Dunleavy,  am  awaiting  the  birth  of  my  sixth  great-grandchild 
on  November  17th.  I  understand  it  is  a  girl  who  will  be  named  Danielle 
Nicole  Donegan  I'm  always  waiting  word  from  each  of  you  to  bring  us 
'36ers  up  to  date  on  your  own  family  ventures  Write  or  phone  some  news 
for  the  next  summer  column  God  bless  and  keep  you  healthy  for  many 
more  years.

another  to  St.  Louis  and  New  Orleans,  with  beautiful  scenery  along  the 
way.  Her  brother  Frank's  birthday  party  in  Albany  took  precedence  over 
our  Fall  luncheon  at  the  Downtown  Athletic  Club.  They  had  beautiful 
weather  up  there  and  a  good  family  get-together.  Dot  White  and  Ruth 
Drucker  attended  the  Fall  luncheon.  Dot  works  two  days  a  week  at  Cabrini

their  beautiful  New  Jersey  home.  Mary  did  the  driving  that  day.  I  enjoyed  a 
short  lunch  with  Doris  Whelan  Coneys  and  Lillian  McCloskey  one  day  in 
Connecticut.  Lillian's  aunt,  Sr.  Fidelis  Marie  (McCloskey)  had  been  their 
art  teacher  at  St.  Joseph's  Academy  in  Brentwood,  which  evoked  a  flood  of 
memories  of  high  school  and  college  days.  Marie  Birmingham  Ponsot  was 
elected  Professor  of  the  year  at  Queens  College  Cecilia  Ruane  Finnegan 
wrote  that  she  has  not  been  receiving  mail.  The  alumni  office  checked  and

where  she  had  moved  a  few  years  ago  to  be  near  her  son.  Ann  is  enjoying 
retirement  from  American  Red  Cross.  The  proximity  of  her  apartment  to 
Lincoln  Center  gives  her  easy  access  to  the  Center's  cultural  offerings.  Her 
mother,  in  New  Hyde  Park,  is  94  and  managing  very  well  with  a  pacemaker. 
Virginia  Titus  Meyer,  who  spent  freshman  and  sophomore  years  with  our 
class,  died  in  August  Lorraine  Schultheis  Vaccaro  was  unaware  that  she 
and  Virginia  lived  near  one  another  in  Malverne  until  she  heard  Virginia

October's  mail  brought  sad  news  of  the  death  of  Eileen  Renslng  who 
graduated  with  us  as  Sister  Vincent  Miriam.  She  left  the  convent  and  was 
living  in  Florida  at  the  time  of  her  death.  A  week  later,  another  classmate, 
Catherine  Monks  Waylor,  died  suddenly  of  a  heart  attack.  She  was  my 
dearest  friend  of  50  years.  We  had  just  celebrated  our  birthdays  at  dinner 
on  September  19th,  sharing  joys  of  being  grandparents.  Her  husband, 
Dick  in  eulogy,  said  that  Catherine  always  had  the  perfect  word  to  comfort 
someone  or  put  him  at  ease.  He  spoke  of  her  love  for  her  family  and  for  her 
students.  He  ended  with  "Catherine  was  a  very  special  person."  Please 
remember  them  both  in  your  prayers  Alice  Reilly  Jones  called  and  told  us 
that  she  and  Roy  have  six  grandchildren  -  two  sets  of  twins  and  all  girls. 
They  enjoy  them  so  much  because  they  had  all  sons  -  three  of  them.  One  of 
thegirls  could  ride  a  two-wheel  bike  before  the  age  of  four!  Alice  and  Roy,

Irene  Kelly  Matos  dropped  in  at  the  college  one  Sunday  and  enjoyed  a  chat 
with  Sr.  Teresa  Avlla.  She  also  left  a  new  address,  which  may  have 
accounted  for  her  failure  to  receive  mail  Jrom  the  college.  Mary  Pantano 
Malolo,  who  lives  in  Bethesda.  MD.  is  still  interested  in  OWL  Older 
Women's  League,  and  attends  meetings  "on  the  Hill"  once  a  month.  "It  is 
fascinating  to  see  these  very  knowledgable  women  -  many  working  for 
senators  and  bureaucrats,  adept  at  analyzing  legislation  and  on  the 
lookout  for  making  life  more  equitable  for  women,"  she  writes  "Don't  let 
the  name  fool  you  This  is  no  group  of  "little  old  ladies ."  OWL  members  are 
young  and  old.  women  and  men.  and  come  from  all  walks  of  life.  Their 
common  belief  Women  in  this  country  are  entitled  to  a  better  future. 
OWL'S  purpose  is  to  propose  solutions  to  the  difficult  problems  women 
face  as  they  age. . .  and  to  educate  and  support  women  so  they  can  become 
advocates  for  change  in  public  policies  that  adversely  affect  their  lives 
Mary  finds  that  working  with  this  group  has  been  a  wonderful  lesson  in 
how  the  democratic  process  works.  Legislative  changes  are  being  made 
slowly  but  surely,  she  says.  Recently,  mail  was  returned  from  Catherine 
Sclafanl  Lenlhan  of  Saddle  River.  NJ.  Does  anyone  know  her  current 
address?

Maria  Shehi  writes  from  Lake  Havasu  City,  Arizona,  that  the  summer  was 
quiet  except  for  company  -  who  brightened  up  the  days.  Weather  was 
relentless  with  a  three-week  period  of  hot  days  never  dropping  below  1 06° 
and  most  days  at  108°-114°.  Daytime,  was  spent  indoors  working  on 
assorted  projects.  Sometimes  they  would  take  side  trips  by  bus.  In  May, 
Maria  and  Scott  stayed  for  two  weeks  with  her  son  Randy  and  his  wife 
Christina,  in  New  York,  and  it  was  grand  being  with  the  children. 
Christina's  time  was  taken  up  with  a  course  for  "Certification  for  Critical 
Care  Nurses"  at  Mt  Sinai  Hospital  where  she  is  employed  and  had  to  work 
a  ten  hour  evening  shift  as  well.  She  passed  the  course  and  is  now  CCCN. 
We  need  more  class  agents  to  help  our  one  and  only,  Arlene  Murtha!

Father 

John 

Hession 


It  is  with  sadness  that  we  write  of  the  death  of  our 
beloved  faculty  member,  Father  John  C.  Hession,  on 
Saturday,  February  18th  of  this  year.  Although  he  had 
been  ill  on  and  off  for  some  time,  his  last  illness  was  short 
and  his  sudden  death  left  his  parishioners  at  St.  Genevieve's 
in  Roxbury,  grieving  for  the  pastor  they  dearly  loved.  He 
is  survived  by  his  sisters,  Alice  Piatt,  Isobelle  Lonehan  and 
a  brother,  Daniel  Hession. 

John  Hession  was  born  in  Brooklyn.  He  attended 
Manhattan  College,  Columbia  University,  and  Immacu- 
late Conception  Seminary  in  Huntington  and  was 
ordained  on  May  30,  1942.  He  served  as  assistant  at  St. 
Vincent  Ferrer,  Flatbush,  until  1945  when  he  was  assigned 
to  the  faculty  of  St.  Joseph's  College. 

Father  Hession  came  to  St.  Joseph's  College  Philosophy 
Department  as  a  young  man,  brilliant,  cultured,  a  born 
story  teller,  with  an  infectious  sense  of  humor.  All  of  these 
qualities  combined  to  make  him  a  memorable  teacher.  He 
served  as  Chairperson  of  the  Philosophy  Department  from 
1955  to  1973.  During  this  period,  one  of  his  great  joys  was 
to  team-teach  a  course  in  Aesthetics  with  S.  Joseph 
Immaculate  (English)  and  Father  D'Ecclesiis  (Music). 
Later  he  team-taught  the  "Riddle  of  Life"  course  with 
S.  Mary  Beatrice  (Biology )  and  Father  Ferris  (Religious 
Studies). 

As  the  college  expanded,  he  taught  at  the  Brentwood 
and  then  the  Patchogue  campuses  as  well  as  on  the 
Brooklyn  campus.  Even  after  his  appointment  as  pastor  of 
St.  Genevieve's  in  1978,  he  countinued  to  teach  until  his 
retirement  from  SJC  in  1982. 

Father  Hession  also  served  as  a  member  of  the  Catholic 
Debating  Club,  a  moderator  of  the  Polytech  Institute 
Newman  Club  and  a  member  of  the  Priests'  Senate. 

At  a  Mass  in  the  college,  Father  Richard  W.  Ferris  gave 
the  following  homily  and  tribute  to  his  friend  of  many 
years. 

This  is  a  privilege  and  I  mean  that  from  the  bottom  of 
my  heart.  It  is  a  privilege  because  Fr.  Hession  was 
someone  special.  He  was  a  gem  of  a  man  and  a  gem  of  a 
priest.  Now  I  know  that  sounds  a  bit  dramatic  but  I  make 
no  apology  for  it.  I  do  believe  that  God  puts  a  little  bit  of 
himself  in  every  one  of  us  and  I  believe  that  each  of  us  is 
unique.  But  while  everyone  has  his  own  special  beauty, 
there  are  certain  people  who  are  exceptional.  Among  the 
endless  variety  of  flowers,  for  example,  roses  or  lillies  or 
gardenias  stand  out  for  some  people  for  their  special 
delicacy.  Similarly,  while  all  stones  have  a  certain  appeal 


Father  John  C.  Hession 

there  are  a  few  we  call  precious,  such  as  diamonds  or 
rubies  or  emeralds.  Father  Hession  was  a  precious  stone. 
He  was  a  gem. 

He  was  a  magnificent  inspiration  to  anyone  in  the  field 
of  Theology.  His  life  was  a  very  vivid  illustration  of 
precisely  how  the  theological  virtues  are  meant  to  be  lived. 
He  was  a  man  of  unwavering  faith,  persevering  hope  and 
Christ-like  charity. 

Father  Hession's  faith  was  not  a  very  complicated  one. 
Very  simply,  he  accepted  that  God  has  spoken  and  that  he 
continues  to  speak  to  each  one  of  us.  He  believed  that  God 
has  dramatically  intervened  in  the  lives  of  his  people 
through  Christ,  His  Son,  and  that  He  continues  to  do  so  in 
not  so  dramatic,  but  just  as  real  a  fashion.  In  its  depth  and 
intensity,  his  faith  made  the  faith  of  so  many  of  us  seem 
weak  by  contrast.  You  might  say  that  while  many  people 
believe  in  one  fashion  or  another,  he  really  believed. 

His  faith  was  a  faith  that  could  move  mountains  and  his 
spirit  of  hope  was  its  equal.  He  trusted  that  God's 
providence  was  lovingly  guiding  the  course  of  his  life  and 
that  God  would  give  him  all  that  he  needed  to  do  His  will. 
A  gentle  man  by  nature,  he  was  capable  of  making  a  bold 
move  once  he  decided  that  it  was  God's  will. 

"The  greatest  of  these  is  charity."  Father  Hession  knew 
this  and  belived  it.  Love  has  a  way  of  melting  away  so 
many  details  and  clearing  up  so  much  complexity.  Fr. 
Hession  finally  saw  all  life  in  terms  of  love  of  God  and 
neighbor.  One  time  we  had  both  read  an  article  on 
preparing  for  a  happy  death.  It  was  a  very  long  article  and 
it  was  really  too  complicated.  After  reading  it,  I  asked  him, 
"Well,  John,  how  do  we  prepare  for  a  happy  death?" 
There  was  a  long  pause,  a  humble  shrug  and  the  answer: 
"Love  God,  love  your  neighbor.  Live  a  good  life."  Father 
Hession's  charity  came  in  a  variety  of  little  ways.  He  didn't 
cultivate  his  own  personality  all  that  much.  He  was  too 
reserved  and  humble  for  that.  But  the  little  things  were 
always  there  and  carefully  tended  to. 

Father  Hession  was  a  family  man.  All  of  us  know  how 
much  he  loved  his  own  family.  As  a  professor  for  more 
than  three  decades  at  St.  Joseph's  College  and  as  the  pastor 
for  more  than  ten  years  at  St.  Genevieve's,  he  showed  the 
same  fatherly  concern  for  his  students  and  his 
parishioners.  He  was  a  stickler  on  baptisms  and 
weddings,  caring  for  the  sick  and  the  dving  and  praying 
for  all.

and  Cathie 


Catherine  Colgan  Stanton  '68 


As  the  disposal  of  low  level  radioactive  waste  has 
emerged  as  a  high  priority  public  issue,  one  of  the  people 
both  government  and  industry  are  looking  to  for  expertise 
in  finding  a  solution  is  1968  St.  Joseph's  graduate, 
Catherine  Colgan  Stanton. 

In  1987  Cathie,  who  received  her  Masters  in  nuclear 
engineering  from  Ohio  State  University  in  1970,  gathered 
up  her  eighteen  years  of  experience  working  for  other 
people  in  the  nuclear  energy  and  safety  field  and 
incorporated  Catherine  C.  Stanton  &  Associates.  She  has 
not  had  many  quiet  moments  since. 

"The  decision  to  cut  the  strings  and  go  it  alone  was  a 
difficult  one,"  Cathie  says  of  setting  up  her  own  business. 
"But  nothing  matches  the  satisfaction  of  being  your  own 
boss." 

In  part,  she  says,  starting  up  was  made  a  lot  easier  by 
both  New  York  State  and  Federal  programs  that  encourage 
big  primary  contractors  to  subcontract  work  to  minority 
and  women-owned  businesses.  "They  won't  keep  you 
afloat  if  you  can't  make  the  grade,"  she  says,  "but  they 
open  a  lot  of  doors  and,  if  you  are  good  at  what  you  do,  the 
doors  stay  open." 

The  firm  offers  consulting  services  in  connection  with 
all  types  of  nuclear  technology,  but  low  level  waste  has 
become  the  area  of  highest  demand  in  recent  years  and 
Catherine  C.  Stanton  8c  Associates,  Inc.  has  quickly  built  a 
reputation  of  competence  in  sorting  out  the  problems  and 
translating  them  into  language  business  people  and 
policy  makers  can  deal  with.  Cathie  says  she  is  as  much  an 
interpreter  as  an  engineer  on  many  jobs. 

Low  level  radioactive  waste  includes  mostly  industrial 
by-products  ranging  from  parts  of  nuclear  reactors  to  old 
exit  signs  and  smoke  detectors.  Modern  medical  science 
produces  low  level  waste  at  both  treatment  centers  and 
pharmaceutical  laboratories.  Every  new  drug  approved 
for  use  in  the  country  must  first  pass  tests  using  radio- 
active tracers  that  are  eventually  handled  as  low  level 
waste.  Academic  researchers,  searching  for  answers  on 
cancer,  AIDS,  sickle  cell  anemia  and  crop  productivity, 
among  other  subjects,  are  producers  of  low-level  waste. 

Low  level  waste  is  considered  less  dangerous  than  high 
level  waste,  such  as  spent  nuclear  reactor  fuel,  because  it 
usually  is  less  concentrated  and  shorter  lasting,  but  it  can 
be  hazardous  and  there  is  far  more  of  it.  There  is  a  need 
under  present  law  to  develop  new  disposal  facilities  by 
1993.  As  the  number  of  states  planning  these  facilities 
increases,  so  do  the  concerns  about  how  and  where  its  gets 
disposed.  "The  challenge,"  says  Cathie,  is  to  make  sure 


on 


Nuclear  Waste 


that  this  material  is  handled  safely  and  that  the  vital 
services  that  depend  on  having  safe  disposal  capability  can 
continue." 

The  concern  has  become  wide  enough  that  colleges  and 
universities  have  begun  incorporating  courses  on  radio- 
active waste  in  their  physics  and  engineering  curricula. 
The  textbook  some  of  them  are  using  at  both  the  graduate 
and  undergraduate  level  is  Radioactive  Waste  Manage- 
ment, co-authored  by  Cathie  and  Manhattan  College 
professor  Robert  Berlin  (John  Wiley  &  Sons,  New  York). 
Cathie  said  that  the  text  will  fill  a  real  need  in  compiling  a 
lot  of  information  about  a  subject  that  is  surprisingly 
diverse.  She's  looking  forward  to  hearing  the  reaction 
from  students,  who  she  knows  will  be  the  toughest  critics. 

Cathie  also  teaches  radiation  safety  as  an  adjunct 
professor  at  Manhattan  College,  in  what  she  calls  her 
"spare  time."  Spare  time  for  Cathie  is  what  comes  before 
sleep  but  after  business  and  caring  for  a  husband  and  four 
children  aged  15,  12,  6  and  3. 

That  part  of  life  includes  four  different  PTAs,  bus 
schedules  and  trip  reminders  as  well  as  several  scout 
troops  (including  a  Girl  Scout  troop  for  which  she  is  a 
co-leader)  and  assorted  music  lessons.  Harry's  position  as 
Executive  Director  of  the  New  York  State  Bridge  Authority 
means  that  the  whole  family  is  very  involved  in  what's 
going  on  in  the  Hudson  Valley  since  his  five  bridges  span 
the  river  from  Bear  Mountain  to  Rip  Van  Winkle  just 
south  of  Albany.  Cathie  says  she  is  an  engineer  who  thinks 
like  a  lawyer  while  Harry  has  become  a  lawyer  who  thinks 
like  an  engineer,  even  to  receiving  the  Bridge  Man  of  the 
Year  award  from  the  Association  of  Bridge  Design  and 
Construction  Engineers  in  1988. 

Partly  in  response  to  what  her  children  have  been  doing 
in  school,  Cathie  has  taken  an  active  interest  in  encourag- 
ing science  education — for  students  and  teachers.  She  has 
given  many  talks  to  school  groups  of  different  ages  on 
topics  related  to  nuclear  energy  and  radiation  safety.  In  the 
fall  she  is  scheduled  to  give  a  talk  on  comparative 
environmental  impacts  of  different  methods  of  producing 
electric  energy  to  state  science  teachers  at  their  annual 
meeting. 

Looking  ahead  to  almost  twenty  years  of  paying  college 
tuition  gives  Cathie  strong  motivation  to  keep  her  business 
growing.  However,  while  the  arrival  of  the  first  royalty 
check  on  the  same  day  the  station  wagon  needed  new  tires 
was  serendipitous,  she  may  need  to  think  up  a  gothic 
romance  that  makes  some  real  money  rather  than  a  second 
edition  of  the  textbook. 


Inez  Votta  '50 


When  our  editor  invited  me  to  write  some  anecdotal 
material  about  my  experience  teaching  English  Conversa- 
tion to  Japanese  newcomers,  I  was  at  a  loss.  My  work  with 
them  for  the  past  ten  years  seemed  as  natural  and 
uneventful  as  the  usual  flow  of  most  of  our  lives.  But  then, 
upon  further  consideration  I  realized  what  an  important 
part  of  my  life  these  gentle  Japanese  ladies  and  their 
families  have  become. 

And  how  did  this  all  begin?  By  sheer  serendipity  -  for  I 
had  no  teaching  credentials.  I  graduated  from  St.  Joseph's 
with  a  major  in  French  and  a  minor  in  Philosophy, 
seeking  merely  to  better  use  my  leisure  time  -  since  I  had 
plenty  of  it  having  been  paralyzed  by  polio  during  my 
infancy  and  living  a  rather  sedentary  life. 

I  met  my  first  Japanese  student  those  many  years  ago,  in 
the  mail  room  of  my  apartment  house.  Hers  was  a  new  face 
to  me  -  so  I  welcomed  her  with  a  big  smile.  She  readily 
responded,  telling  me  in  charming,  flawless  English  that 
she  and  her  husband  had  j  ust  been  assigned  to  the  States  by 
the  Mitsumoto  Co.  of  Japan  for  a  three  year  stint  and  asked 
if  I  could  recommend  an  English  teacher  with  whom  she 
could  further  improve  and  practice  conversational 
English.  I  quickly  offered  myself,  instinctively  sure  we 
could  hit  it  off  learning  English  and  becoming  friends. 
And  so  my  career  of  "Sensee"  (teacher)  was  launched  by 
Yuko  Tanaka.  Each  week  when  she  came  to  my  apartment 
she  would  bring  one  of  her  friends,  recommend  me 
enthusiastically,  and  thus  a  network  was  formed  and  my 
modest  little  classes  had  developed  into  a  veritable  academy 
of  eager,  buzzing  Japanese  ladies  -  about  13  a  week. 

As  each  lady  has  different  needs  and  educational  levels  I 
tailor  my  lessons  individually,  acting  more  as  guide  than 
teacher,  leading  them  gently  through  what  could  be  a 
Stygian  mire  of  grammar  and  vocabulary  and  above  all, 
building  their  sagging  self-confidence  with  a  sincere  show 
of  affection  and  empathy. 

As  an  example:  Mrs.  Ito  is  a  college  graduate  of  Tokyo 
University  with  studies  in  Italian  Culture.  She  has  a  great 
appreciation  for  the  Italian  Renaissance.  So,  we  have 
long,  gossipy,  English  conversations  about  the  famous 
Medicis  and  the  infamous  Borgias,  and  to  add  zest  to  this 
rich  fare,  I  coax  my  94  year  old  mother  (the  Indomitable 
One!)  who  is  fluent  in  both  English  and  Italian,  into  the 
fray.  This  potpourri  of  ideas  and  exchange  of  opinions  is 
an  enriching  experience  and  I  often  end  up  after  such  a 
session  feeling  I  have  taken  much  more  than  I  have  given. 

All  my  ladies  consider  it  a  great  treat  to  have  Mother  join 


Gentle 
Teacher 


in  the  conversation,  for  at  her  venerable  age  they  revere  her 
-and  call  her  their  "National  Treasure."  They  are  amazed  at 
her  spry  step,  coiffed  hair,  manicured  nails  and  so  greatly 
amused  to  see  this  regal  matriarch  still  smoking  cigarettes 
with  a  firm  and  steady  hand  that  belies  her  age.  I  wish  her 
memory  were  as  good!  She  has  some  difficulty  remembering 
names  nowadays  so  she  slyly  resorts  to  giving  nicknames  to 
cover  up  these  lapses.  These  exotic  Japanese  names  become: 
"Lady  Renaissance",  "Lady  Cookie"  (she  brings  home- 
made ones  each  week),  "Lady  Melba",  who  sang  Opera 
professionally  in  her  native  Japan,  and  "Lady  Tiffany" 
who  delighted  us  this  Christmas  with  a  crystal  vase  from 
that  company.  It's  an  endless  list  and  I  eagerly  await 
Mother's  ingenious  flights  of  fancy  as  she  dubbs  each 
newcomer.  She  reminds  me  of  Adam  in  the  Garden  of  Eden 
when  he  named  all  of  creation. 

A  few  of  my  students  come  to  me  with  a  very  rudimentary- 
knowledge  of  English  or  Western  ways.  They  are  simple 
housewives  and  mothers  who  are  perfectly  happy  in  this 
role  and  want  to  learn  either  at  the  urging  of  their  husband 
or  from  the  sheer  necessity  of  communicating  in  super- 
markets and  in  the  school  scene  which  they  take  very 
seriously,  managing  their  children. 

To  facilitate  and  encourage  these  young  mothers  I  found 
it  necessary  to  learn  to  read  and  write  Japanese.  A  few  "How 
To  Do  It  Yourself"  books  were  my  first  brave  attempts  -  and 
then  some  of  my  more  advanced  ladies  gave  me  some  key- 
words and  expressions  in  Japanese  that  helped  me  along.  I 
shall  never  forget  the  thrill  I  felt  when  after  showing  me 
how  to  write  the  expression,  to  learn  in  their  Chinese 
adapted  characters,  one  of  my  girls  explained  the  origin  ol 
its  radical.  It  is  comprised  of  two  roots,  one  is  the  symbol  for 
flight  or  wings  and  the  other  is  the  abstracted  pictograph  for 
"self."  Thus,  to  learn  means  to  take  flight  or  to  soar.  What  a 
beautiful  concept,  or  rather  picture  of  the  word  and  what  a 
noble  people  these  are  to  have  so  captured  the  very  spirit  of 
learning!  Their  pictograph  for  to  love  is  yet  another 
instance  of  the  universality  of  thought.  It  combines  the 
character  of  woman  and  child  -  thus  you  have  woman  plus 
child  equals  love  -  an  equation  that  makes  sense  in  any 
language. 

Indeed  when  I  think  of  my  association  with  these  ladies 
and  how  my  own  horizons  have  widened  I'm  grateful  to 
have  been  open  to  the  beckoning  of  my  first  student  -  that 
stranger  in  need,  and  I  recall  the  words  of  Paul  in  Hebrews 
1 3:2:  "Do  not  foregt  to  entertain  strangers,  for  thereby  some 
have  entertained  angels  unawares."

Benedictine  Life 


Patricia  Hayward  Brunk  '62 


Last  summer,  Patricia  Hayward  Brunk  '62  and  her 
family  moved  from  Brentwood,  Long  Island,  to  Hornell, 
New  York,  some  350  miles  away.  That  sounds  ordinary 
enough  but  this  was  not  quite  an  ordinary  move.  It  was 
not  just  a  matter  of  relocating  a  family  into  a  new  home 
because  this  new  family  home  is  also  the  monastic  home  of 
Holy  Trinity  Community. 

Holy  Trinity  Community  is  an  evolving  mixed 
community  living  a  vowed  life  in  the  spirit  of  the  Rule  of 
Saint  Benedict.  Its  members  hope  to  become  a  community 
of  single  women  and  men,  married  couples,  priests,  and 
celibate  persons  living  a  Benedictine  spirited  monastic  life 
adapted  to  our  times.  Patricia  is  a  vowed  member  of  this 
community. 

At  SJC,  Patricia  Hayward  majored  in  psychology  and 
received  her  B.A.  in  1962.  Immediately  after  graduation, 
she  began  a  career  as  a  caseworker  for  Child  Welfare 
Services  of  Suffolk  County.  She  married  Altino  Brunk  in 
1963,  and  their  first  child,  a  son,  was  born  in  June  1965.  At 
that  time  Pat  gave  up  outside  employment  to  pursue  full- 
time  homemaking.  A  second  was  born  the  following  June, 
and  three  more  sons  were  to  follow. 

Through  many  events  and  experiences  during  these 
years,  Pat  and  Al  began  to  sense  an  attraction  to  a 
communal  way  of  life  particulary  centered  on  prayer  and 
hospitality.  Their  work  in  Marriage  Encounter  had 
enriched  them  and  had  exposed  them  to  the  beauty  and 
dignity  not  only  of  marriage,  but  of  the  single  and  celibate 
states  as  well.  They  envisioned  a  community  in  which  a 
microcosm  of  the  Church  would  be  present,  i.e.,  married, 
single  and  celibate  people  working,  praying,  and  living 
together  in  complimentarity,  without  competition. 

In  the  early  1970's,  Al  and  Pat  were  introduced  to 
another  couple  with  a  similar  dream,  and  a  deep  and 
abiding  friendship  was  formed.  Eventually,  the  decision 
was  made  to  purchase  a  large  parcel  of  land  in  the  lovely 
rolling  hills  of  Western  New  York  State,  in  preparation 
for  the  "someday"  when  the  dream  of  community  would 
be  realized.  Then  tragedy  intervened. 

In  October,  1980,  Al  died  suddenly  and  unexpectedly 
from  an  undetected  aneurysm.  Pat  was  left  not  only  a 
widow,  but  the  single  parent  of  five  boys.  The  oldest  was 
15  and  the  youngest,  twins,  were  barely  six.  It  was  a 
painful,  empty,  and  frightening  period.  Pat  and  her 
friends  never  even  approached  the  topic  of  community 
during  that  first  year  of  grief,  shock  and  Joss.  They  did, 


however,  continue  to  meet  together  twice  a  week  for 
revealing  and  sharing  life  experiences  and  prayer, 
primarily  Vespers  and  Compline  from  the  Liturgy  of  the 
Hours. 

In  the  course  of  the  next  few  years,  Pat  and  her  friends 
Pat  and  John  Brewster,  parents  of  Mary  '85,  made  a 
number  of  week-long  retreats  at  a  Benedictine  Abbey 
outside  Boston,  Massachusetts.  In  prayer  and  discernment, 
they  realized  that  Al's  death  had  not  changed  the  call  to 
community  life  except  that  now  that  call  was  to  be  lived 
not  as  two  couples,  but  as  a  couple  and  a  single  woman. 
Already,  different  vocations  were  represented  in  the 
community.  Moreover,  the  three  recognized  the  Benedictine 
way  of  life  as  the  kind  of  life  they  had  been  trying  to  live  for 
a  number  of  years.  Pat  and  the  Brewsters  received 
encouragement  and  support  (and  prodding!)  in  the 
formation  of  this  new  expression  of  Benedictine  life  from 
friends,  both  lay  and  clerical,  including  the  commmunity 
of  Benedictine  monks  at  the  Abbey.  This  formation 
resulted  in  the  profession  of  their  first  vows  in  1985 
(traditional  Benedictine  vows  of  obedience,  conversion  of 
life,  and  stability  in  community). 

In  the  meantime,  Pat  had  returned  to  part-time  work  in 
her  parish  rectory,  close  to  home  and  children.  She  had 
also  matriculated  at  the  Seminary  of  the  Immaculate 
Conception  in  Huntington,  NY  for  a  Master's  degree  in 
Theology  which  she  received  in  December  1985. 

Pat  maintains  that  in  justice,  the  names  of  her  children 
should  appear  on  that  diploma.  Older  sons  supervised 
homework  for  younger  ones  and  officiated  at  bed-time 
rituals  while  Pat  attended  night  classes  and  struggled  to 
juggle  single-parenting,  a  job,  lectures,  and  term  papers. 
She  recalls  one  Thanksgiving  weekend  shortly  before 
completing  her  degree  when  Tim,  home  from  Amherst 
College,  and  Terence,  a  freshman  home  from  Drew 
University,  spent  most  of  their  precious  vacation  time 
typing  a  Biblical  exegesis  which  Mom  had  due  on  Monday 
night.  Theology  became  a  family  affair!  At  the  present 
time,  Tim  is  completing  his  Master's  degree  in  theology  at 
Boston  College.  Terence  is  in  the  Doctoral  program  in 
English  Literature  at  Rutgers  University.  Paul,  18,  is  a 
sophomore  at  Cornell  University  where  he  is  a  philosophy 
major.  Daniel  and  David,  14  year  old  twins,  are  now 
freshmen  at  Hornell  High  School.

AARP  Director 


Early  this  year  Martha  A.  Leaver  '45  was  appointed  an 
Assistant  State  Director  for  New  York  by  the  American 
Association  of  Retired  Persons.  Since  January,  Martha  has 
been  supervising  eight  Brooklyn  Chapters  and  is  organiz- 
ing a  new  one  in  Park  Slope.  This  Spring,  she  attended 
Conferences  for  new  AARP  Volunteer  Leaders  held  in 
Philadelphia  and  Albany. 

Prior  to  this  appointment,  Martha  Leaver  served  as 
President  of  the  Bay  Ridge  Chapter  #3630  of  the  AARP, 
which  has  a  membership  of  50,  plus  a  waiting  list.  In  1986 
she  started  an  award  program  whereby  a  $500  scholarship 
is  awarded  to  a  student  nurse  at  Downstate  College  of 
Nursing  whose  interest  is  in  Gerontology.  There  have 
been  four  winners. 

AARP  also  sponsored  an  in-service  course,  given  by 
Adelphi  University  to  staff  members  at  Lutheran  Medical 
Center,  on  Long  Term  Care.  AARP  members  have  also 
made  35  hand  crocheted  lap  robes  to  date. 

In  working  with  AARP  members,  Martha  says,  "I  try  to 
transfer  the  skills  of  working  with  young  adults  to  older 
people.  From  the  time  I  retired  in  1983,  I  started  working 
with  AARP  at  the  Bay  Ridge  Chapter.  It  has  helped  me  to 
become  more  active  in  community  service,  and  by  getting 
involved  I  »."ot  only  learn  for  myself,  but  I  can  transfer  that 
knowledge  to  other  people." 

After  Martha  graduated  from  St.  Joseph's  College,  she 
taught  at  Pratt  Institute  for  three  years  as  a  full-time 


Martha  A.  Leaver  '45 
Instructor.  She  retired  from  the  New  York  City  school 
system,  after  35  years  of  teaching,  which  included  13  years 
at  James  Madison  High  School  in  Flatbush  and  1 5  years  at 
Susan  E.  Wagner  High  School  on  Staten  Island.  Martha  is 
a  member  of  the  Association  of  Retired  Teachers  of  New 
York  City,  the  CSREA  -  an  advocacy  group  of  retired  civil 
service  workers,  the  Bay  Ridge  Interagency  Council,  and 
Alpha  Beta  Chapter  of  Delta  Kappa  Gamma,  the 
International  Honor  Society  for  Women  Educators. 

AARP  is  the  nation's  largest  organization  of  Americans 
age  50  and  older.  The  nonprofit,  nonpartisan  organization 
offers  a  wide  range  of  membership  benefits,  legislative 
representation  at  the  federal  and  state  levels,  and 
educational  and  community  service  programs  carried  out 
through  a  national  network  of  volunteers  and  local 
chapters.  Its  headquarters  are  in  Washington,  D.C. 


Benedictine  Life,  continued 

Moving  to  Hornell  was,  in  itself,  quite  an  adventure. 
Because  of  heavy  spring  rains,  the  building  was  still  in  the 
last  stages  of  completion,  necessitating  over  a  week's  stay 
in  a  motel  before  the  Brunks  could  move  in  and  "camp 
out"  in  their  new  home.  The  moving  van  with  all  their 
clothing  and  possessions  was  delayed  four  days  in  arriving. 
There  was  no  electricity  —  not  even  the  long-promised 
electric  poles  on  the  road  had  been  put  into  place.  The 
well-digger,  who  had  been  contacted  seven  months  prior 
to  the  move,  had  failed  to  show,  and  when  the  first  well 
was  finally  put  in,  (by  a  different  well-digger!)  the  water 
was  black,  laden  with  sulphur  and  iron.  Better  water  came 
from  a  second  well  but  it  was  still  poor  quality  and  a 
sizeable  filtration  system  had  to  be  purchased  and  installed 
to  make  the  water  both  safe  and  palatable  for  drinking. 

The  local  pastor  took  pity  on  the  six  Brunks  and  the  one 
member  of  the  Brewster  family  who  was  with  them,  (the 
rest  of  the  Brewster  family  arrived  later)  and  welcomed  the 
adventurers  for  dinner  and  showers  (remember  the  record- 
breaking  heat  of  July  1988?)  each  day  until  the  water 
problem  was  solved. 

The  building  itself  comprises  three  wings:  two  are 
individual  family  residences,  complete  family  apartments, 
and  the  third  wing  is  the  common  or  community  area 
which  houses  the  chapel,  community  dining  room  and 
kitchen,  library,  and  conference  room.  There  are  three 
guest  bedrooms  available  for  anyone  wishing  to  spend  a 
few  hours,  an  overnight  or  several  days  apart  from  his  or 
her  daily  routine. 

How  does  a  single  parent  "monk"  live?  Pat  describes  it 
this  way: 


"The  Benedictine  way  of  Christian  life  was  not  begun 
by  St.  Benedictine  to  do  any  special  work.  Benedictines  are 
to  be  living  signs  that  strangers  can  come  together  in 
Christ,  care  for  one  another,  support  one  another, 
challenge  one  another  to  grow.  Our  essential  ministry  is 
community. 

Holy  Trinity  Community  gathers  in  the  chapel  for  the 
Liturgy  of  the  Hours  to  mark  the  coming  of  light  and 
darkness,  the  passing  of  night  and  day,  and  the  turning  of 
the  seasons.  This  gives  a  distinctive  rhythm  to  our  life,  in 
which  there  is  also  time  designated  for  spiritual  reading 
and  personal  prayer. 

In  addition  to  periods  of  communal  and  private  prayer, 
there  are  also  times  set  aside  for  serving  others.  The  ways 
we  serve  are  expressive  of  the  gifts  and  skills  of  the 
members  and  responsive  to  the  needs  of  the  local  area.  For 
example,  we  were  recently  asked  by  one  of  the  area 
parishes  to  conduct  a  Lenten  program  for  one  of  their 
organizations.  There  are  also  times  for  coming  together 
for  meals  and  discussions,  for  silence  and  solitude,  work 
and  play. 

Our  community  includes  members  who  are  also  parents. 
However,  their  children  are  not  community  members  and 
great  care  is  taken  to  safeguard  the  integrity  of  each 
family's  life." 

Pat's  children  lead  ordinary,  normal  lives,  and  being  a 
mother  is  primary  in  her  life.

about  retreat  possibilities  may  be  addressed  to  Patricia

Life  of 
Reilly 


Kevin  Reilly  '76 


At.  St.  Joseph's  College,  Kevin  Reilly  was  an  ernest, 
well-rounded  student,  who  accelerated  his  studies  to 
receive  his  bachelor's  degree  in  three  years.  In  1976  he 
graduated  with  Departmental  Honors  in  History,  his 
major  field.  He  left  St.  Joseph's  with  the  ambition  to 
continue  his  education  and  to  expand  his  knowledge  of 
the  world. 

In  September,  Kevin  matriculated  at  Brooklyn  College 
to  study  for  a  Master's  degree  in  History,  but  travel  was 
also  on  his  mind.  In  the  summer  of  1977  he  boarded  a 
plane  bound  for  Shannon,  Ireland,  and  with  a  pack  on  his 
back  began  four  weeks  of  hitch-hiking  to  many  of  the 
places  he  had  read  about.  This  was  a  way  of  meeting  the 
people  intimately,  learning  their  customs,  family  life  and 
culture,  as  well  as  seeing  places  off  the  beaten  track.  Before 
summer  was  over,  he  travelled  in  Great  Britain  then  flew 
to  the  continent  where  he  sojourned  in  France,  Germany, 
the  Netherlands,  Austria  and  Switzerland. 

When  he  returned  home  Kevin  took  up  studies  again  at 
Brooklyn  College,  but  he  was  not  feeling  well.  After  some 
time  doctors  diagnosed  his  problem  as  hepatitis,  which  he 
might  have  picked  up  in  his  travels.  Weeks  of  hospital- 
ization and  recuperation  set  him  back  in  his  time  schedule, 
so  that  his  master's  degree,  which  he  had  hoped  to  acquire 
in  1977,  was  not  earned  until  1978. 

In  1978  he  was  awarded  a  Thomas  More  Fellowship  for 
a  Law  Degree  at  St.  John's  University  Law  School.  Kevin 
recalled  that  the  day  he  began  his  studies,  his  father  died,  a 
shock  and  grief  to  him  and  the  family.  Nevertheless,  he 
finished  his  first  year,  and  in  the  summer  returned  to 
Europe  to  study  at  the  London  School  of  Economics 
where  he  received  nine  credits  towards  his  law  degree.  The 
rest  of  the  summer  he  "back-packed"  again,  mostly  in 
Ireland.  But  he  made  sure  to  be  in  Paris  on  Bastille  Day,  a 
day  to  remember! 

In  his  second  and  third  year  of  law  school,  Kevin  was 
elected  Academic  Vice  President  of  his  class.  During  those 
years  he  was  also  a  full-time  doctoral  student  in  American 
History  at  City  University  Graduate  Center  at  Fifth 
Avenue  and  42nd  Street.  He  finished  his  graduate  credits 
for  this  degree  but  has  yet  to  complete  his  dissertation 
which  he  would  like  to  do  on  the  development  and 
breakdown  of  ethnic  neighborhoods  in  New  York  City 
during  the  19th  and  20th  centuries. 


Kevin  Reilly  received  his  law  degree  in  1981.  After  three 
years  of  study  day  and  night,  Kevin  chose  to  work  in  the 
construction  field  for  a  while,  doing  manual  work.  He 
thoroughly  enjoyed  this  change.  Concurrently,  he  served 
as  an  adjunct  professor  at  CUNY,  teaching  History  and 
Political  Science. 

In  the  fall  of  1982,  Kevin  had  a  brief  stint  at  private  law 
practice.  In  December,  he  accepted  a  position  in  Criminal 
Court  in  the  Bronx,  serving  for  a  year.  During  that  period 
he  ran  for  election  to  his  local  School  Board  in  Bay  Ridge, 
Brooklyn,  but  lost  by  a  narrow  margin.  For  the  following 
three  years,  he  was  Law  Secretary  for  a  Supreme  Court 
Justice  in  Bronx  Supreme  Court. 

The  next  change,  he  vividly  remembers,  was  on  the  day 
before  his  wedding.  He  became  Executive  Assistant  to 
Presiding  Justice  Francis  T.  Murphy  of  the  State  Supreme 
Court,  Appellate  Division,  First  Department.  In  April 
1987,  a  Law  Assistant  position  in  the  Appellate  Division 
opened  and  he  began  to  work  for  the  bench,  doing  research 
and  writing  on  appeals.  Kevin,  besides  his  background  in 
criminal  law,  specializes  in  Environmental  Law  and  asked 
that  such  cases,  be  assigned  to  him,  in  order  to  gain 
experience. 

The  summer  of  1986  found  Kevin  Reilly  in  Great  Britain 
again.  He  spent  some  time  in  London,  the  highlight  of 
which  was  attending  the  American  Bar  Association  Annual 
Convention.  Interested  in  the  criminal  justice  system  of 
Northern  Ireland,  Kevin  next  visited  that  republic  to  make 
inquires  first-hand.  Paul  O'Dwyer  had  directed  him  to 
Patrick  Finucane,  an  attorney,  with  whom  he  had  lunch 
and  an  informative  conversation.  It  was  a  shock  for  Kevin 
to  read  that  Patrick  was  killed  recently.  Kevin  also  met  with 
members  of  parliament  and  local  leaders  to  whom  he  was 
introduced  by  a  friend.  He  hopes  to  return  to  Ireland  this 
summer  to  continue  his  inquiries. 

Kevin  Reilly  is  Vice  President  of  Cathedral  Club  in 
Brooklyn,  a  club  for  lawyers  and  business  people.  He  is 
member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  St.  John's  Law  School 
Alumni  Association  and  has  served  on  the  Executive  Board 
of  St.  Joseph's  College  Alumni  Association  as  a  member  at 
large  and  as  vice-president.  Kevin  is  a  charter  member  of 
the  Brehon  Law  Society,  a  group  of  New  York  lawyers 
involved  with  Civil  Rights  in  Northern  Ireland  and  related 
issues.  He  is  on  the  Board  of  Catholic  Lawyers  Guild, 
Kings  County,  and  is  active  in  the  Breezy  Point  Cooperative.

What  is  Needed  to  Educate  Our  Students 


At  a  recent  faculty  meeting,  Carol  J.  Hayes,  PhD. 
Chairperson  of  the  Biology  Department  of  St.  Joseph's 
College,  read  her  opinion  of  what  is  needed  to  educate  our 
students  properly  for  life  in  a  technological  society: 

We,  and  our  students,  present  and  future,  are  and  will 
continue  to  be  living  in  a  society  which  is  becoming 
increasingly  technological.  There  has  been  already,  and 
there  will  continue  to  be,  as  a  result  of  this  technology,  an 
ever  increasing  information  explosion  the  likes  of  which 
has  been  unknown  in  the  history  of  humankind. 

Our  students  will  be  dealing  in  a  society 

•  in  which  higher  animals  (including  humans)  will 
be  genetically  engineered 

•  in  which  the  human  genome  will  be  completely 
mapped  and  there  will  be  gene  therapy  for  human 
beings 

•  in  which  biotechnology  will  be  a  30  billion  dollar 
plus  industry 

•  in  which  the  environment  will  be  increasingly 
polluted 

•  in  which  the  energy  crunch  will  worsen  and  we  will 
be  forced  to  rely  on  nuclear  power 

•  in  which  drug  abuse  and  other  plagues  (like  AIDS) 
will  affect  more  and  more  people 

•  in  which  the  population  will  continue  to  increase  as 
we  become  better  able  to  decrease  infant  mortality 
rates  and  increase  life  spans 

As  a  result,  they  will  be  forced  to  deal  with  and  to  make 
decisions  concerning  such  problems  as 

•  whether  or  not  life  forms  should  be  patented  -  or  do 
they  belong  to  all  of  us 

•  whether  or  not  technology  should  deal  in  dollar 
profit  -  or  for  the  good  of  all  humankind 

•  which  human  beings  should  be  subjected  to  gene 
therapy  -  should  all  of  us  be  alike?  -  or  is  diversity 
still  the  essence  of  survival? 

•  what  chemical,  physical,  or  biological  agents 
should  be  declared  imminent  hazards  to  humans 

•  how  to  feed  the  burgeoning  humanity 

•  what  to  do  about  the  greenhouse  effect  -  if  such,  in 
fact,  exists 

•  the  strict  control  of  nuclear  technology 

Decisions  on  these  must  be  made  from  a  knowledge  base 
and  not  on  an  emotional  level  in  which  there  is  blame  and 
lack  of  understanding. 

Our  technological  society  demands,  and  will  continue 
to  demand,  knowledge  and  production  on  every  level. 
There  is  current  concern  in  the  business  community 
among  educators  at  every  level,  and  at  the  national  level 
that  our  students  simply  are  not  being  prepared  for  the 
challenges  that  will  face  them. 

In  a  Business  Week  article  entitled  "Needed:  Human 
Capital ",  the  author  points  out  that  now,  Chemical  Bank  of 


of  New  York  must  interview  forty  applicants  to  find  one 
who  can  be  successfully  trained  as  a  teller  and  that  IBM 
has  to  teach  high  school  algebra  to  thousands  of 
employees  before  they  can  run  a  computer. 

In  a  Business  Week  article  entitled  "Where  the  Jobs  Are, 
the  Skills  Aren't",  the  author  cites  the  fact  that  technology 
is  upgrading  the  work  required  in  most  jobs  -  the  modem 
workplace  needs  people  with  high  reading,  math,  and 
science  capabilities.  People  who  are  already  working  will 
need  massive  retraining  to  keep  pace  with  changing 
requirements.  He  points  out  that  there  are  currently  30 
million  of  these  people  who  will  need  more  math  and 
science,  or  better  reading  and  writing  skills. 

The  National  Science  Foundation  is  concerned  that 
there  will  be  a  shortfall  of  400,000  scientists  and  engineers 
by  the  year  2000. 

All  of  this  is  happening  against  a  background  in  which 
science  and  math  literacy  are  at  an  all  time  low  in  the 
United  States.  Our  students,  according  to  NSF  and  the 
National  Research  Council,  are  at  the  bottom  of  the  pack 
when  it  comes  to  math  and  science  achievement.  On 
international  achievement  tests: 

•  only  78%  of  American  students  can  do  one-step  math 
problems  (simple  addition  or  subtraction) 

•  only  40%  can  solve  two-step  math  problems  (eg., 
calculating  an  average 

•  and,  in  understanding  concepts,  eg.,  the  basic 
principles  of  measurement  and  geometry,  the 
problem  is  even  worse  -  only  9%  of  American 
students  understand 

The  scenario  is  similar  for  science  scores: 

•  most  know  basic  everyday  facts 

•  but,  only  78%  can  apply  simple  scientific  principles 

•  only  35%  can  analyze  simple  data 

•  only  7%  can  design  experiments  and  interpret  data 

What  does  all  this  mean  for  St.  Joseph's  College?  What 
can  we  do  for  our  students  to  put  them  ahead  of  the 
international  averages? 

I  think,  first  of  all,  we  must  provide  them  with  a  work 
ethic.  Our  students  must  understand  that  to  be  educated  is 
not  synonomous  with  working  less.  They  must  have  a 
passion  for  their  disciplines  because,  in  fact,  they  will  be 
called  upon  to  work  longer  hours  for  less  pay  than  many 
of  their  uneducated  counterparts.  They  will  have  this 
passion  and  this  work  ethic  only  if  they  see  it  in  us  -  their 
mentors,  their  role  models.  They  tend  to  think  that 
academic  communities  run  on  a  15  to  18  hour  week.  We 
have  to  demonstrate  to  them  the  fallacy  of  the  thinking 
that  accomplishments  reveal  themselves  in  15  to  18  hours 
a  week. 

Each  department  should  have  a  core  of  recent  alumni 
who  are  willing  to  feed  back  honestly  to  the  department  - 
to  tell  us  what  they  feel  we  are  doing  well  and  what  we 
should  do  better.  They  are  able  to  make  these  judgments 
based  on  their  own  experiences  in  graduate  and  professional 
schools  and  in  the  workplace.  We,  in  turn,  must  be  willing 
to  listen  to  what  they  say  and  to  hear  some  things  that  may 
be  a  little  hard  to  swallow.

Speech  Pathologist 


To  realize  life's  dream  is  something  that  many  people 
fantasize  about,  but  few  get  the  opportunity  to  do.  Joan 
Kronman,  SJC  Patchogue  graduate  '82,  is  one  of  those 
lucky  few. 

Some  years  ago,  Joan  attended  Brooklyn  college  where 
she  majored  in  Speech  -  which  was  much  different  from 
the  Speech  major  today'  However,  she  left  Brooklyn 
College  before  graduation,  married,  and  embarked  on  a 
career  as  homemaker  and  mother  of  three  children. 

When  her  third  child  entered  college,  Joan  decided  it 
was  time  to  return  to  school.  She  earned  her  Associate 
degree  at  Suffolk  Community  College  and  then  transferred 
to  St.  Joseph's  College  in  Patchogue,  where  she  graduated 
in  December  1981  as  a  Child  Study  major  with  dual 
certification  in  Special  Education  and  Elementary 
Education.  Because  it  is  necessary  to  have  a  Master's 
degree  to  work  in  Speech  Pathology,  she  entered  the 
graduate  program  at  C.W.  Post.  While  she  was  taking 
nine  credits  that  first  semester  at  C.W.  Post,  she  was  asked 
to  teach  a  Special  Education  class  from  March  to  June, 
1982.  (If  you  want  something  done  well,  ask  a  busy 
person.)  In  May,  1984,  during  an  awards  ceremony  at  the 
university,  Joan  received  the  Graduate  Memorial  Award 
for  Outstanding  Achievement  in  Speech  and  Hearing.  In 
October  '84,  she  graduated  from  Long  Island  University  at 
C.W.  Post  with  an  MA  in  Speech  Pathology.  Nine  months 
later,  after  doing  her  Practicum  with  adults  and  children, 
Joan  became  a  New  York  State  Clinical  Speech  Pathologist. 

Joan  has  a  small  office  in  a  Professional  Building  in 
Center  Moriches,  where  she  sees  clients  varying  greatly  in 


age  and  medical  condition.  Working  with  stroke  and  head 
trauma  patients,  people  with  tumors,  children  with 
learning  disabilities,  articulation  or  voice  disorders  and 
lanaguage  delayed  problems,  is  part  of  her  daily  routine. 
On  any  given  day  for  example  Joan  can  be  found  working 
with  a  stroke  patient  who  knows  clearly  what  he  wants  to 
say,  but  cannot  get  the  words  to  come  out  right;  a  17 
year-old  girl  with  an  inoperable  brain  tumor,  or  two  year- 
old  with  a  language  delayed  problem  as  a  result  of  too 
many  middle  ear  infections.  The  work  could  be  depressing, 
but  acceptance  of  one's  condition  is  the  key  to  a  positive 
outlook  and  something  that  Joan  stresses. 

In  addition  to  her  private  practice,  Joan  is  a  faculty 
member  at  SJC  in  Patchogue,  teaching  in  the  rapidly 
growing  Speech  Communication  Department.  The 
courses  are  planned  so  that  students  may  develop 
confidence  and  poise,  become  better  listeners,  learn  how  to 
get  and  hold  attention  in  speech  situations,  acquire  the 
means  to  express  their  convictions  effectively  and  receive 
training  in  the  skills  of  interpretative  reading  and  character 
portrayal.  Joan  is  teaching  three  courses  this  semester: 
"Speech  Communication,"  "Voice  and  Articulation," 
and  "Audiology." 

Joan  maintains  an  active  family  life  with  three  grown 
children,  Bruce,  Steven  and  Celia,  and  six  grandchildren. 
Spending  time  with  her  family  is  among  her  life's 
pleasures.  This  past  January,  Joan  and  Herbert  went  to 
Hawaii  —  another  life's  dream  —  and  a  dream  come  true.

What  Is  Needed  To  Educate  Our  Students,  continued 

We  must  involve  our  students  more  and  more  in  their 
own  education.  This  we  can  do  in  a  number  of  ways: 

•  By  teaching  them  to  work  independently  and  to 
think  critically  in  recitation  sections  of  courses  and 
in  laboratories 

•  by  giving  them  projects  which  will  challenge  them  to 
work  to  completion  -  a  semester's  length,  a  year  in 
length,  or  four  years  in  length. 

•  by  providing  internships  or  cooperative  arrange- 
ments with  companies,  research  institutions,  etc., 
where  they  can  demonstrate  to  themselves  the  value 
of  all  they  are  learning,  in  a  practical  sense.  In  the 
sciences,  for  example,  many  of  our  alumni  look  for 
students  who  are  willing  to  work  with  them.  I 
recommend  that  all  departments  get  involved  with 
their  alumni  in  this  manner  -  students  are  very 
practical  today  -  they  want  to  know  what  they  can  do 
with  what  they  are  learning  in  all  of  their  courses,  not 
just  their  major  courses. 

In  order  for  us  to  provide  these  experiences,  we 
must  have  confidence  in  the  students,  no  matter  what 
their  entering  scores  are  (perhaps  we  should  not 
know  what  these  are).  Expect  more  of  them  than  you 
think  they  can  accomplish.  You  will  be  surprised  at 
what  they  can  produce  when  you  make  them  think 
they  are  better  than  they  really  are  -  because  you  have 
given  them  the  confidence  that  they  never  had. 


Perhaps  the  College  can  consult  with  some  of  the 
corporations  that  have  a  need  for  retraining  their 
employees.  Based  upon  the  outcome  of  these  discussions, 
we  could  then  develop  programs  in  the  division  of  Arts  and 
Sciences  for  adults  from  these  companies,  for  the  purpose 
of  retraining. 

We  must  keep  in  mind  that  the  concept  of  what  an 
educated  person  is  has  changed  over  time.  The  complete 
person  of  medieval  times  and  the  compleat  person  of 
modern  times  are  vastly  different.  In  medieval  times,  it  was 
possible  to  teach  a  student  much  more  of  the  truth  because 
there  was  not  that  much  known.  Today,  that  is  impossible  - 
the  body  of  knowledge  is  just  too  vast  and  we  must  be 
satisfied  with  educating  specialists,  and  not  generalists. 

And  lastly,  we  must  upgrade  the  mathematical  and 
scientific  knowledge  of  all  of  our  students  -  scientists  and 
non-scientists  alike.  I  suggest  we  do  this  by  requiring  all 
students  to  take  real  science  courses.  Let  us  not  decide  that 
these  are  too  difficult  for  our  students  to  learn  -  whatever 
our  own  feelings  about  our  past  experiences  in  these  areas 
may  be.  Let  us  not  prejudice  them  so  that  they  come  to 
believe  that  understanding  in  these  areas  is  above  them. 

All  of  our  students  -  scientists  or  not  -  will  be  expected  to 
make  critical  moral,  legal,  and  ethical  decisions  in  these 
areas  and  without  the  necessary  knowledge,  they  will  be 
impotent.  When  the  time  comes,  it  will  not  be  sufficient  for 
them  simply  to  have  the  ability  to  think  clearly  -  they  must 
have  the  knowledge  base  for  the  decision  making. 


Special  Day 


At  Teachers  College,  Columbia  University,  a  "special 
day"  was  held  to  honor  Professor  Frances  Partridge 
Connor's  achievements  in  the  field  of  special  education. 
The  theme  of  the  day  was  "New  Coalitions  With  and  For 
the  Handicapped:  Advocacy  in  the  21st  Century."  Dr. 
Frances  Connor,  who  joined  the  TC  faculty  in  1954,  served 
for  more  than  20  years  as  the  chair  of  the  Department  of 
Special  Education.  She  retired  in  1987.  Monsignor  John 
Houlihan,  who  received  hisdoctorate  in  Special  EdatTC, 
was  master  of  ceremonies  for  the  dinner  honoring 
Professor  Connor.

Michele  Pilo  '84S 


Stony  Brook  Museum,  in  Stony  Brook,  New  York,  is  a 
very  exciting  place,  so  finding  Michele  Pilo,  SJC 
Patchogue  '84,  working  there  as  Acting  Assistant  Director 
for  Education  was  not  a  surprise. 

That  she  loves  her  job  is  evident  from  the  wonderful 
programs  she  has  helped  to  establish  there.  Michele  is 
Educational  Director  of  the  Volunteer  Guides.  Guides 
receive  extensive  training  during  Monday  morning 
sessions  at  the  museum.  They  are  taught  ways  to  reach 
children  and  to  address  the  needs  of  special  classes.  To 
help  coordinate  the  program  Michele  uses  the  teaching 
techniques  that  she  learned  at  St.  Joseph's. 

Michele  graduated  magna  cum  laude  in  January  1984 
with  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  in  Elementary  Education.  An 
outstanding  student,  she  was  on  the  Dean's  List  and 
elected  to  Delta  Epsilon  Sigma,  Sigma  Iota  Chi  and  Kappa 
Gamma  Pi.  Her  dedication  to  hard  work  has  not  waned 
since  graduation. 

Michele  is  the  President  of  the  Long  Island  Museum 
Association.  She  has  served  as  Chairperson  of  the  Long 
Island  Museum  Association  Educators  Committee  from 
1984  to  1987  and  was  affiliated  with  the  Fellowship  for 
Mid-Atlantic  Association  of  Museums  in  1985.  Other 
professional  experience  includes  chairing  and  presenting 
a  workshop  entitled,  "Developing  and  Marketing 
Teaching  Materials:  Taking  Museum  Resources  to  the 
Schools,"  at  the  American  Association  for  State  and  Local 
History  Conference,  held  in  Rochester,  New  York,  in 
1988;  organizing  and  presenting  workshops  entitled 
"Interpreting  Music  and  Dance  Through  the  Art  of 
William  Sidney  Mount,"  and  "Teaching  with  Carriages: 


Museum's 

Educational 

Director 


Horse  Drawn  Transportation  History  for  the  Schools"  at 
the  1988  ALHFAM  Annual  Conference.  Michele  also  took 
an  active  role  in  the  publication  of  Nineteenth  Century 
American  Music  and  Dance  in  the  Art  of  William  Sidney 
Mount,  (The  Museum  at  Stony  Brook,  1986.) 

One  of  her  greatest  loves  is  the  "School  House" 
program  at  the  Museum,  which  operates  on  the  hands-on 
principle.  There  are  programs  for  gifted  and  talented 
classes  and  programs  tailored  to  special  groups.  Michele 
also  worked  on  a  grant  that  developed  a  music  and  dance 
teaching  program  for  Long  Island,  called  "Catching  the 
Tune".  She  found  that  the  educational  experiences  she 
had  received  at  St.  Joe's  -  such  as  writing  lesson  plans  and 
her  thesis  -  were  invaluable  to  her  museum  career. 

Michele  and  her  husband,  Joseph  have  four  chidlren: 
Teresa,  a  graduate  of  St.  Bonaventure;  Kristine,  a  Senior  at 
SUNY  Albany;  Michael,  a  Freshman  at  Towson  State 
University,  and  Danny,  a  5th  grade  student.  Michele's 
husband,  Joe  who  is  the  Chairman  of  the  Science 
Department  at  Smithtown  High  School  East,  initiated 
and  developed  Advance  Placement  Biology  there. 

"It  is  important  to  expose  children  to  a  museum  when 
they  are  young,"  said  Michele.  "The  exposure  is  invaluable 
and  leads  them  to  keep  an  open  mind  about  culture." 

For  relaxation,  Michele  likes  to  read  and  quilt.  She  is  a 
Eucharistic  minister  in  her  parish  in  Stony  Brook. 

She  is  interested  in  working  with  students  majoring 
either  in  Child  Study  or  History  who  would  like  to  serve  as 
interns  at  the  Museum.  Students  who  are  interested  should 
contact  their  Head  of  Department.

Directors  of  Counseling  and  Career  Services 


ANNA  BESS  ROBINSON 

Anna  Bess  Robinson  is  Director  of  Counseling  and 
Career  Services  in  Patchogue.  She  broke  away  from  her 
small  town  in  Oklahoma  to  attend  Randolph  Macon 
Women's  College.  While  there  she  received  a  grant  one 
summer  to  study  in  Mexico  and  to  observe  a  different 
culture.  It  was  her  first  travel  experience. 

Anna  Bess  married  a  military  man,  James  Robinson, 
and  as  they  moved  from  one  assignment  to  another,  she 
continued  her  education  through  travelling,  through 
observation  of  people  and  their  customs,  and  through  the 
variety  of  jobs  she  undertook  along  the  way. 

With  military  obligations  over,  the  Robinsons  settled  in 
New  Jersey  where  Anna  Bess  attended  Rutgers  University 
Graduate  School  and  earned  a  Master's  degree  in 
Counseling.  She  worked  part  time  as  a  Youth  Counselor 
for  New  Jersey  State  youth  and  part  time  as  Associate 
Professor  of  Sociology  in  a  new  community  college. 
During  this  time  Suzy  was  born.  They  moved  again  to 
upstate  New  York  where  Erin  was  born.  In  1978,  the 
Robinsons  made  a  final  move  to  Long  Island  and  in  1981 
Anna  Bess  started  to  work  for  St.  Joseph's  College  in  the 
Career  and  Counseling  Center. 

Anna  Bess  is  available  to  students  and  alumni  in  all 
phases  of  career  and  personal  counseling.  She  explained 
that  a  good  guidance  counselor  doesn't  always  get  credit. 
If  the  counselor  is  good  the  person  being  counseled  thinks 
he  did  it  himself.  Usually  people  have  the  resources  within 
themselves,  but  just  need  a  professional  to  bring  them  to 
light. 

The  Career  and  Counseling  Office  is  a  place  where  St. 
Joseph's  College  alumni  can  always  go  for  help  in  their 
professional  life.  Call  (516)  654-3200,  extension  159,  for  an 
appointment.

Students  Help  Alumni 
at  Patchogue  Phonathon 

The  Phonathon  at  Patchogue  on  April  1 7th  was  another 
"first."  With  great  enthusiasm,  students  and  alumni 
dialed  1600  calls  and  received  a  total  of  $5,877  in  pledges. 
To  all  listed  below  (and  we  hope  we  didn't  miss  anyone) 
we  say,  "Thanks!  Hope  to  see  you  again  next  year."

Frank  and  Linda  (Borelli)  Ridzi 

Linda  (Borelli  73)  and  Frank  Ridzi  are  a  coordinating 
couple  for  the  Natural  Family  Planning  Apostolate  of  the 
Brooklyn  Diocese  under  the  umbrella  of  the  Family  Life 
Ministry.  As  coordinators,  they  share  the  teaching  of 
Natural  Family  Planning  with  other  couples,  and  help 
prepare  new  teachers  for  the  program. 

The  Ridzis  are  frequently  invited  to  address  college 
groups,  high  school  students,  mostly  girls,  and  occasion- 
ally the  more-mature  eighth  graders. 

When  they  thought  of  marriage,  Linda  and  Frank  knew 
they  wanted  a  family.  They  knew,  too,  that  a  child  very 
early  in  marriage  would  be  a  real  hardship.  They  reviewed 
Linda's  notes  from  her  marriage  course,  wishing  to  follow 
church  teaching.  They  reassessed  their  goals  in  marriage, 
confirming  their  decision  to  have  a  life  free  of  guilt,  of 


Family 
Planning 


artificial  birth  control,  and  full  of  love.  They  wanted  a 
family  they  could  plan  and  care  for.  Luckily  a  brochure 
found  at  the  rear  of  the  church  led  them  to  the  Natural 
Family  Planning  Association  and  put  them  in  touch  with 
a  group  of  couples  already  using  and  teaching  NFP,  who 
shared  personal  experiences  of  sacrifice  and  fulfillment. 

When  they  began  their  married  life  fifteen  years  ago,  the 
Ridzis  found  that  although  it  was  not  always  easy  to  live 
their  commitment  with  God  there  were  many  surprising 
benefits.  Soon  shared  responsibility  became  a  loving  way 
of  life,  blessed  with  the  peace  of  a  clear  conscience  and 
filled  with  joy  which  they  share  with  their  planned  family, 
Frank,  Tom,  John  Paul  and  Mary,  ages  12  to  3,  and  Clare, 
born  in  May. 

They  will  share  that  joy  with  you.  For  information 
about  NFP  call  Frank  and  Linda  at  (718)  499-7209. 


Fr.  John  Hession,  continued 

These  are  some  of  the  words  and  phrases  that  I  think  of 
when  I  think  of  John:  gentleness,  clear  vision,  modesty, 
story-telling,  intelligence,  books  and  more  books,  wisdom, 
humor,  Fr.  D'Ecclesius,  class,  thick  eyebrows,  zany 
descriptions  of  people  and  things,  travel,  reserve, 
reassurance,  loyalty,  love  of  the  Holy  Father,  purity,  more 
books,  praying,  praying,  praying. 

John  did  not  have  a  great  number  of  close  friends,  but 
the  ones  he  had  were  friends  for  life.  Death  measures  the 


quality  of  good  relationships.  An  endearing  relationship 
builds  on  more  than  physical  presence.  It  builds  on 
experiences  we  have  shared,  common  interests,  a  sense  of 
camaraderie,  loyalty  and  hope.  And  the  hope  is  that 
though  distance  may  separate  us  for  a  time,  we  will  one 
day  be  together  again.  Death  is  the  space  between  John 
and  us  for  now,  but  not  really  for  long.  He  is  so  fortunate. 
How  wonderful  it  is  to  sit  in  the  presence  of  God.  Father 
Hession  is  with  his  Lord. 


Do  You  Know  Candidates  for  Admission  to  St.  Joseph's  College? 

We  want  to  involve  more  alumni  in  the  recruitment  of  students.  Many  of  you  know  high  school  seniors  or  graduates  -  your 
own  perhaps,  or  your  nieces  or  nephews,  cousins,  or  a  "kid"  on  the  block  or  in  the  neighborhood.  We  urge  you  to  send 
nominations  to  the  Admissions  Office  on  the  form  below  (xerox  it  if  you  need  more  than  one).  Many  General  Studies  graduates 
know  of  colleagues,  associates,  friends  or  relatives  who  could  benefit  by  enrolling  in  St.  Joseph's  College  degree  programs.

CLASS  NOTES 


1920 


In  February  this  year,  we  learned  that  Mae  Moore  Waldorf  had  died  in 
March  1 987  Through  Marie  Uhllnger's  sister,  we  were  able  to  get  in  touch 
with  her  son  who  told  us  that  his  mother  had  moved  to  a  nursing  home  and 
died  about  a  year  later  On  March  31. 1989.  Marie  Uhllnger  died  Marie  had 
been  helpful  in  identifying  her  classmates  in  the  photo  on  the  cover  of  our 
Winter  '89  issue.  Please  remember  them  and  those  dear  to  them  in  your 
prayers

of  weddings,  anniversaries,  graduations,  confirmations  and  First 
Communions,  as  well  as  the  inevitable  "home  improvements"  and  we 
decided  to  postpone  the  ususal  spring  luncheon  until  early  October.  We

Marian  Baltes  Duncan  writes  enthusiastically  of  family,  gardening  and  life 
in  general.  She  is  happy  that  one  of  her  children  lives  on  Long  Island.  Son, 
Tom,  resides  in  Merrick.  One  of  her  daughters  lives  in  Princeton.  NJ,  and 
the  other  lives  out  of  the  country,  in  Montreal,  Canada.  There  are  three 
grandchildren:  grown-ups  in  Princeton  and  three  youngsters  in  Merrick. 
Thanks  for  Alumnagram!-  she  writes.  Marie  Duffy  Ouinn  was  80  years  old 
on  April  23rd  this  year  Her  life  centers  around  her  three  children  and  ten 
grandchildren,  sharing  family  celebrations  and  travelling  to  visit  them.  "St. 
Joseph's  was  a  great  experience  for  me  and  my  degree  gave  me  a  position 
in  teaching  that  I  enjoyed  for  over  25  years.  May  God  bless  all  our 
members."  writes  Marie.  The  Spring  Luncheon  was  attended  by  Eleanor 
McLoughlin,  Julia  McDonald  Kuehne,  Janet  Prendergast  Vickrey  and 
Marie  O'Connor  Julie  divides  her  time  between  her  Manhattan  apartment 
and  her  Long  Island  residence,  with  a  bit  of  travelling  now  and  then  Marie 
is  deep  into  activities  sponsored  by  SCAN,  Senior  Citizens  Activities 
Networks,  formerly  known  as  OASIS,  Older  Adult  Service  and  Information 
Systems.  Its  aim:  cultural  and  educational  opportunities  for  the  active 
senior  -  all  absolutely  free.  Marie  is  taking  a  course  in  Drawing  and  Water 
Color  and  is  attending  many  lectures  on  such  varied  topics  as:  Income  Tax, 
Hair  Care,  Skin  Diseases.  Music  and  History,  Exercise  and  Travel.  On  the 
other  side  of  the  desk,  Marie  is  giving  a  course  entitled:  Books:  The 
Pleasure  of  Their  Company.  Some  of  the  topics  that  have  been  covered 
are:  love  through  the  pages  of  the  ages;  empathy  through  the  reading  of 
biography;  famous  sleuths  of  mystery  fiction.  This  type  of  activity  which, 
as  stated,  is  for  seniors,  she  balances  by  periodic  visits  to  the 
Meadowflower  Nursery  School  in  Fair  Haven  which  is  run  by  Eileen 
Schilling  Bassler  '60.  "Miss  Marie"  joins  in  the  varied  programs  that  Eileen 
offers  for  four  year  olds  (the  group  that  Marie  visits).  Nature  walks  are  a  big 
feature  Marion  Willmott  Thorn  and  Dick  visited  Rosemary  Sheridan 
recently,  and  keeps  in  close  touch  with  Marie  Duffy  Quinn  in  SC.  Dick  and 
Marion  play  lots  of  bridge  and  are  regular  visitors  to  Maine  and  Vermont.

The  New  Year  began  with  a  sad  note  for  '32  -  the  news  that  Helen  Curran 
Flynn  died  on  January  7th.  She  was  the  sole  Manhattanite  in  our  class  - 
what's  more  a  Greenwich  Villager'  Helen  was  truly  delightful,  a  cheery, 
sensible  gal  who  added  just  the  right  touch  to  any  discussion.  Warm  and 
gracious  Helen  brought  these  attributes  to  her  52-year  marriage  to  Simon 
and  to  her  fine  family  of  four  -  Maeve.  Sheilah,  Kevin  and  Brian.  We  share 
their  loss  John  and  Mary  White  Kearney  spent  some  time  in  Florida  as  did 
Katherine  Kelly  Carlin,  Anne  McCormack  Fennessy.  and  Florence  Raymond 
Morano  I  took  a  wonderful  weekend  trip  to  St.  Augustine,  a  city  that  I  had 
longed  to  visit  all  my  life  I  recommend  it  highly  for  its  font  of  historical  and 
spiritual  enrichment  -  and  the  "bed  and  breakfasts"  are  fantasticl  Mary 
Whelan  Phelan  was  our  sole  representative  at  the  Spring  Luncheon.  Thanks. 
Mary  We  touched  base  with  a  few  classmates:  Kay  Frey  Lynch,  Kay  Kelly 
Carlin.  Winifred  McMahon  and  Helen  Coughlin  Worthley  They  send 
greetings  to  all  Mildred  Hines  Ryan  and  Mary  Whelan  Phelan  had  a  chance 
to  chat  at  a  luncheon  at  the  home  of  Margaret  Langan  McDermott  '34  In 
writing  about  Jo  McKeon  Broad  in  the  last  issue,  I  omitted  a  very  important 
fact.  Jo  was  also  survived  by  her  beloved  niece.  Ann  Fallen  Knapp  '55.  Ann, 
ever  loving  and  devoted,  was  Jo's  pride  and  joy.

their  car  up  by  auto  transport.  Mary  Dolan  and  her  sister.  Helen  have  been 
clearing  out  their  attic  in  preparation  for  a  move.  She  came  across  a  supply

archives  Dorothy  Harold  McNeil  in  sending  her  donation  for  the  Alumni 
Fund  for  the  Dillon  Center  recalled  the  following  anecdote  her  sister  told 
her.  While  he  was  visiting  with  the  children,  a  child  asked  Monsignor  if  all  of 
this  big  shoe  was  his  foot  (He  was  a  big  man1)  Many  were  the  happy 
memories  of  St.  Joseph's  We  had  a  beautiful  day  for  our  semi-annual

no  one  could  be  persuaded  to  give  me  any  news  for  this  column.  However,  I 
did  hear  from  Dorothy  Harold  McNeil  of  Pompano  Beach,  FL.  Her  letter 
came  too  late  for  the  last  Alumnagram.  Dorothy  has  become  a  globe  trotter 
in  the  past  few  years  -  in  '87  a  cruise  tour  of  Scandinavia,  in  '88  an  Alaskan 
trip  from  Fairbanks  to  Anchorage  and  then  a  cruise  of  the  Inside  Passage. 
"Awesome"  is  her  word  for  it;  wished  she  had  done  it  years  ago.  Her  most 
recent  trip  was  to  Hawaii

We  offer  our  sympathy  and  prayers  to  Mary  Fogarty  Rellly  whose  brother 
died  last  December.  Mary  Harron  Hupczyc  writes  to  the  class  of  '34:  "When 
I  was  living  in  Europe  all  those  twenty  years,  I  could  not  make  the  trip  to 
attend  your  Alumnae  Luncheon  even  though  I  truly  yearned  to.  I  was  sure 
that  when  I  got  back  to  our  USA.  there  would  be  no  problem.  But  I  was 
wrong.  I  can't  get  down  to  that  55th  year  reunion!  But,  believe  me.  on  April 
8. 1  shall  bewithyouin  Spirit  and  I  shall  be  thinking  of  you  all.  Have  a  lovely 
talk-fest  all  of  you.  .  .  forget  those  55  years  and  keep  remembering  those

was  our  oyster.  Until,  of  course,  in  July  1934,  when  no  one  wanted  to  hire 
us.  Please  have  a  wonderful  reunion  and  show  the  Class  of  1 988  that  we're

While  at  Shannon  Airport  after  attending  a  cousin's  ordination  in  Ireland, 
Eileen  Brennan  and  her  brother,  Fr.  Gerald  OFM  bumped  into  Kathleen 
Haigney  Hemmer  and  Bernard.  They  had  just  arrived  from  Scotland  where 
Bernard  had  played  golf,  while  Kathleen  visited  Scottish  castles.  As  the 
men  discussed  golf,  Kay  told  of  her  visit  to  Hilton  Head  Golf  Course  where 
she  later  had  a  dinner  reunion  with  Mary  Twlgg  Conners  and  Isabelle 
Andersen  Miles.  Small  world!  Marlon  Rogers  Solan  was  delighted  with  the 
cover  of  the  Winter  Alumnagram  with  the  picture  of  the  Class  of  '20.  One  of 
the  "twelve  apostles"  is  her  cousin,  Marie  McConnell.  Marion  is  gradually 
getting  back  in  the  main  stream  after  surgery.  She  and  Edith  Bruce  were 
the  only  '37  reps  at  the  NT.  Athletic  Club  Fall  Luncheon  -  however,  they 
enjoyed  visiting  with  so  many  others.  Marion  was  in  Florida  for  several 
week  but  will  return  home  for  the  summer  with  East  Hampton  or  Montauk 
as  top  choices.  In  the  meantime,  graduations  and  weddings  are  keeping 
her  busy  and  happy.

experiences  we  shared  together  At  the  Fort  Hamilton  Officers'  Club  on 
Sunday,  a  table  was  provided  for  old  photos  taken  during  college  years

We,  Florence  and  Mary,  loved  getting  it  all  together  (we  started  over  a  year 
ago)  and  truly  appreciate  your  thank  you  notes  for  our  efforts  to  make  our 
celebrations  memorable  and  happy.  We  heard  from  Dorothea  Visconti 
Mallon  who,  for  eleven  years  now,  has  been  living  upstate  in  White  Sulphur 
Springs,  a  part  of  the  village  of  Liberty  and  she  loves  the  country.  She 
babysits  for  her  grandchildren-has  eighteen  ranging  from  age  3  to  22. 
Dorothea  is  a  member  of  the  Ladies  Fire  Auxiliary  and  Senior  Citizens  of 
White  Sulphur  Days  are  busy  and  interesting  and  she  is  attempting  to 
write  a  novel.  We  extend  our  sympathy  and  prayers  to  Catherine  O'Connor 
McLaughlin  on  the  death  of  her  son,   Robert.   Remember  also,  our 
classmate  Agnes  Green  who  entered  the  Sisters  of  St.  Dominic  in 
Amityville  in  1940  She  died  on  January  8  this  year.  Sr.  Mary  Mediatrix 
served  46  years  as  a  teacher  in  various  schools  and  almost  25  of  those  at 
Molloy  College  in  Rockville  Center.

Each  year  Cecilia  Ruane  Flnnegan  looks  forward  to  a  visit  from  Martha 
McCann  McGuirk  and  Helen  Byrne  McCabe.  For  years,  she  says,  their 
families  got  together  and  their  children  enjoyed  each  other's  company. 
They  had  vacation  and  celebrations  together,  and  she  adds  that  Ruth 
Drucker  has  been  the  greatest  for  the  class  of  1 940!  Along  with  her  gift  to 
Alumni  Fund,  Mary  McCrlmllsk,  LLB,  sent  "best  wishes  for  a  wonderful 
summer  to  all  you  special  people  who  mind  the  store  at  245!"  Mary  is  living 
in  Delray  Beach,  Florida.  Bill  and  Marcella  Canale  Reld  drove  from  Fairfax, 
VA  for  the  Mass  and  luncheon  on  April  8th,  joining  Ethyl  Mascheck 
Comerford,  Ruth  Drucker,  Frances  Caetta  lanora,  Jane  Kearney,  Margaret 
Mack,  Virginia  Owens,  Anne  Sullivan  and  Cathleen  Farrell  Walsh  at  a  full 
table  for  our  class.  When  I  called  Marcella  on  Easter  Sunday.  Bill  had  just

daughter's  wedding  and  Anne  took  photos  of  us  at  the  table  Anne  proctors 
Civil  Service  exams  occasionally.  We're  both  retired  and  have  signed  up 
for  a  bus  trip  to  the  Culinary  Institute  and  a  visit  to  the  FDR  home  in  New 
Hyde  Park  afterwards  Mary  McNulty  has  been  visiting  students  at  the 
Patchogue  campus  where  she  took  Irish  History.  The  students'  Spring 
Fling  on  Saturday  May  6th  was  lots  of  fun  with  surprises  for  themselves, 
their  faculty,  and  us  alumni.  We  were  welcomed,  treated  to  a  delicious 
lunch  and  given  the  guided  tour  It  was  a  delight  to  see  the  new  library, 
nearing  completion,  and  to  talk  to  some  of  the  undergraduates.  As  Virginia 
Roche  said  (she  and  Virginia  Mannebach  Clean/  drove  out  that  Saturday) 
"They  have  it  a  lot  better  than  we  did."  Mary  McNulty  and  I  were  there  also 
As  regards  to  our  50th  reunion  in  1990,  the  good  Lord  willing,  we  are  now  a

Hoffman  Westfield  sent  us  a  copy  of  an  article  she  wrote  that  was 
published  in  The  New  York  Times,  Sunday  April  9th,  under  "Topics".  It  is 
an  amusing,  clever  tongue-in-cheek  critique  of  modern  hair-dos.  This  is 
her  second  article  accepted  by  the  NY  Times.  She  has  also  been  published 
in  other  media.  Keep  your  eyes  open  for  her  name  on  more.  . .

This  year's  luncheon  at  Antun's  afforded  me  (Genevieve  Kingman  Lindner) 
three  nice  surprises.  First,  it  gave  me  a  chance  to  chat  with  Father  John 
Gorman  who  had  been  moderator  of  our  Christian  Family  Movement  while 
he  was  assigned  to  Holy  Name  of  Mary  in  Valley  Stream  The  meeting 
brought  back  fond  memories.  Second,  I  sat  with  Anna  Bier,  whom  I  hadn't 
seen  for  a  few  years,  and  with  S.  Mary  Florence  Burns  and  Mary  Fucella. 
Third,  I  sat  back-to-back  with  a  new  friend,  Mary  Dolan  '33,  whom  I  met  at 
our  bible  study  course  at  Holy  Name  of  Mary,  S.  Mary  Florence  has  just 
been  re-elected  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Brooklyn  Public 
Library.  Mary  Fucella  is  the  proud  grand-aunt  of  Andrew  Jonathan, 
courtesy  of  her  sister's  younger  daughter.  Her  older  niece  lives  in  Germany 
with  her  husband  who  is  in  the  Army.  She  plans  to  go  to  med  school  and 
become  a  doctor.  Mary  spends  her  time  going  to  plays,  operas  and  ballets 
with  her  sister.  Anna  Bier  is  retired  from  her  job  as  Art  Editor  of  children's 
books  but  is  busy  with  freelance  editorial  work  on  children's  books  for  a 
number  of  publishers,  both  in  the  metropolitan  area  and  in  California.  She 
also  works  diligently  as  a  member  of  the  Bronxville  Senior  Citizens  group.  I 
had  a  telephone  chat  with  Virginia  Lee  who  is  principal  of  K-2  school  in 
Queens.  She  plans  to  retire  in  June  and  hopes  to  move  to  Nassau  County 
to  be  near  her  nieces  and  their  little  ones.  Virginia  has  traveled  extensively 
over  the  years  and  is  looking  forward  to  retirement.  No  retirement  for  me 
(Genevieve  Kingman  Lindner)  however  I  just  contracted  for  another  year 
at  Blessed  Sacrament  School  as  Pre-Kindergarten  teacher-cant  get 
enough  of  a  good  thing!  This  June  Marian  Ouealy  Zoll  completes  1 5  years 
of  teaching  kindergarten  and  pre-school.  She  has  been  a  CCD  teacher  on 
all  levels  from  pre-school  through  high  school  in  her  local  parish,  in  the 
diocese  of  Paterson,  for  some  20  odd  years.  She  is  considering  retiring  to 
active  grandma  status  for  visiting  six  far  flung  grandchildren.  Marian 
hopes  to  celebrate  her  fortieth  wedding  anniversary  in  December  with 
Edward,  who  is  a  professor  of  Computer  Science  at  Kean  College  in  Union, 
NJ.

married  and  equally  happily  childless,  she  is  again  chatelaine  of  the  old 
Whalen  manor  in  Bay  Ridge-the  home  she  left  twenty-five  years  ago.  She 
re-surfaced  due  to  the  efforts  of  Kay  McMullln  Schafer  who  undertook  a 
year-long  postal  quest.  Kay,  Dorothy,  Joan  and  Winnie  Cavanagh  Malone 
celebrated  a  reunion  in  March  at  Carolyn's  home.  It  was  a  wild  and  wooly 
event.  Angela's  husband  is  retiring  in  June  as  principal  of  an  elementary 
school  and  having  taught  for  many  years.  He  plans  to  try  other  things- 
coaching  and  writing.  Angela  plans  to  join  him  when  he  is  ready  to  travel!

Remember  when  I  (Eileen  Mullen)  asked  about  the  most  fun  thing  during 
the  last  year?  I  had  a  wonderful  response  from  Gee  Termini  Dobson.  She 
and  Ron  were  honored  guests  at  both  the  Inauguration  of  President  Bush 
and  the  Inaugural  Ball  They  also  viewed  the  Inaugural  Parade  in  the 
company  of  our  nation's  Medal  of  Honor  recipients.  Ron's  brother,  Kevin 
Dobson,  chairman  of  the  the  National  Salute  to  Hospiatalized  Veterans, 
was  Master  of  Ceremonies  at  the  ball.  Kevin  and  his  wife  Susan,  later  met 
privately  with  President  and  Mrs  Bush.  For  Mary  Lou  Fitzgerald  Cain,  the 
two  most  exciting  events  were  seeing  her  son  receive  his  Medical  Degree 
from  Columbia  College  of  Physcians  and  Surgeons,  and  touring  Greece 
with  her  students  from  a  Paramus  Catholic  high  school  in  New  Jersey. 
Mary  Lou,  Charlie  and  their  youngest  daughter,  Courtney,  spent  a 
wonderful  week  in  Disney  World.  They  enjoy  summers  out  on  the  North 
Fork  with  Justine,  a  Penn  State  sophomore,  and  with  Carolyn,  a  soon-to- 
be  C. PA.  with  Peat  Marwick  in  Stamford,  CT.  Carolyn  is  a  1987  graduate  of 
Holy  Cross.  We  offer  our  sympathy  to  Mary  Lou  on  the  death  of  her  father 
last  year  Please  remember  them  in  your  prayers.  For  Gall  Madden  Doherty 
and  Tom  it  was  spending  a  few  days  in  the  city  with  Dan  and  June  Marie 
Kelly  O'Neill  and  having  dinner  with  them.  They  hadn't  seen  each  other  in 
years.  Gail  now  works  in  a  high  school  library.  Mary  Pergola  Hughes'  latest 
degree  is  a  Professional  Diploma  in  School  Administration  and  Supervision 
from  Fordham,  which  she  received  last  September.  Enjoy  the  summer  and 
let's  keep  in  touch.

Psychologist 

and 

Professor 


Fond  thoughts  of  his  alma  mater  prompted  Steven  Cody 
to  visit  St.  Joseph's  College  during  a  recent  trip  to  New 
York  for  the  christening  of  his  niece.  Now  a  psychology 
professor  himself,  Steve  spent  part  of  the  day  teaching 
classes  in  Abnormal  and  Introductory  Psychology  in  the 
same  classrooms  where  he  began  his  own  studies  in 
psychology  years  ago. 

In  1971,  his  senior  year  in  high  school,  Steven  attended 
Open  School  Day  at  St.  Joseph's  and  found  a  staff  truly 
interested  in  him  and  his  desire  for  a  career  in  psychology. 
At  Christ  the  King  High  School  in  Queens,  Steve  had 
taken  a  first  course  in  Psychology,  and  that  initial 
exposure  was  to  set  his  career  path  for  him. 

Steve  matriculated  at  St.  Joseph's  in  September  of  1971 
and  began  four  years  of  "mostly"  serious  study.  He  was  a 
brilliant  student,  a  member  of  Delta  Epsilon  Sigma,  a 
permanent  member  of  Sigma  Iota  Chi,  and  he  was  on  the 
Dean's  List  in  1973,  1974,  and  1975.  Steve  received  his 
bachelor's  degree  in  1975,  magna  cum  laude,  and  earned 
Departmental  Honors  in  Psychology.  He  also  received  the 
J.  Gardner  Conroy  Award  for  Excellence  in  Philosophy. 

Assessing  his  four  years  at  the  college,  Steve  said  that  the 
liberal  arts  base  and  philosophical  preparation  he 
acquired  prepared  him  well  to  function  independently  as 
a  graduate  student.  Having  seen  what  class  sizes  can  be 
like  in  larger  schools,  he  is  more  appreciative  than  ever  of 
the  personalized  atmosphere  he  enjoyed  at  St.  Joseph's 
and  the  intellectual  freedom  it  accorded  him. 

Steve  started  graduate  school  in  1976  in  the  doctoral 
clinical  program  at  the  University  of  Connecticut,  and 
took  immense  pleasure  in  the  opportunity  to  immerse 
himself  in  his  favorite  subject,  in  the  company  of  talented 
and  enthusiastic  colleagues.  After  two  years  of  basic 
training,  he  went  to  Albany  Medical  Center  in  New  York 
for  a  year's  internship,  specializing  in  behavioral 
medicine  and  neuropsychology.  He  then  returned  to 
Connecticut  for  three  more  years  of  research  and  training. 

In  1982,  Steve  started  teaching  in  the  Psychology 
program  at  Marshall  University  in  Huntington,  West 
Virginia.  He  then  spent  two  years  teaching  at  Morehead 
State  University  in  Kentucky.  In  1988,  he  was  recruited  by 
the  School  of  Medicine  at  Marshall  University,  returning 
there  to  take  the  position  of  Assistant  Professor  of  Medical 
Psychology  in  the  Department  of  Psychiatry,  and  Adjunct 
Professor  of  Psychology  in  the  Department  of  Psychology. 
After  his  first  year,  he  was  named  Course  Director  for  both 
of  the  medical  schools'  basic  psychiatry  courses,  Be- 
havioral Medicine  and  Psychopathology .  He  is  one  of  very 
few  psychologists  in  the  entire  country  playing  that  kind 


of  role  in  a  medical  school  curriculum. 

Steve  is  also  Director  of  the  Neuropsychology  Service 
for  the  School  of  Medicine,  and  Acting  Director  of 
Psychology  at  Huntington  State  Hospital.  He  is  consulting 
neuropsychologist  for  the  West  Virginia  Rehabilitation 
Center,  Huntington  State  Hospital,  Hungtinton  VA 
Medical  Center,  and  the  Hanshaw  Geriatric  Center. 

Steve  has  presented  papers  at  meetings  of  the  American 
Psychological  Association,  the  National  Academy  of 
Neuropsychology,  the  Kentucky  Academy  of  Sciences, 
and  other  professional  organizations.  This  past  year  he 
coauthored  a  chapter  on  "Neurological  Disorders  in  the 
Elderly"  for  a  forthcoming  book  on  developmental 
neuropsychology,  and  a  chapter  on  "Intellectual  and 
Neuropsychological  Assessment"  for  a  forthcoming  book 
on  behavioral  medicine. 

In  1977,  Steve  married  Evelyn  Pupplo  (73),  who  was  a 
math  major  at  St.  Joseph's.  They  had  taken  a  few  courses 
together  and  were  good  friends  while  at  college.  Evelyn 
joined  the  Peace  Corps  after  graduating  and  taught  math 
in  Ghana,  in  western  Africa,  from  1973  to  1975,  before 
starting  graduate  work  in  mathematics  at  SUNY  Albany. 
Steven  and  Evelyn  had  kept  in  touch  all  along,  and  shortly 
before  Steve  started  graduate  school  he  wrote  to  Evelyn 
suggesting  that  they  meet  again.  A  letter  from  Evelyn  to 
Steve,  suggesting  the  same  thing,  crossed  his  in  the  mail! 

They  were  married  a  year  later  and  made  their  home  in 
Connecticut,  moving  to  West  Virginia  in  1982  when  Steve 
first  went  to  work  for  Marshall  University.  Evelyn  taught 
mathematics  at  Rio  Grande  University  in  Ohio  (within 
commuting  distance)  for  a  year  and  then  decided  to  pursue 
her  doctorate  in  mathematics  at  the  University  of 
Kentucky.  For  three  years,  she  lived  in  Lexington, 
Kentucky,  and  he  lived  in  Huntington.  West  Virginia, 
spending  weekends  together.  When  Steve  left  Marshall  for 
Morehead  State,  they  were  able  to  put  an  end  to  the  "long 
distance"  aspect  of  their  marriage. 

In  the  spring  of  1988,  Evelyn  took  some  time  off  from 
working  on  her  dissertation  to  have  their  daughter 
Stephanie  Arline,  born  on  November  17,  1988.  It  turned 
out  that  Stephanie  was  the  first  of  three  grandchildren 
Steve's  mother  was  to  enjoy  in  the  space  of  a  year.  The 
Cody  household  also  includes  a  trio  of  dogs  -  a  German 
Shepherd  now  getting  along  in  years  and  a  pair  of 
hyperactive  Norwegian  Elkhounds,  each  two  years  old. 

This  fall  finds  Evelyn  finishing  her  dissertation  for  the 
doctorate  in  mathematics  at  the  University  of  Kentucky, 
and  teaching  at  Marshall  University  as  Assistant  Professor 
of  Mathematics. 


She 

Loved 

Children 


Mary  Francis  Kiernan  loved  children.  She  spent  her  life 
and  fulfilled  her  religious  vocation  caring  for  little  ones, 
directing  child  care  institutions,  guiding  and  organizing 
child  care  workers,  leading,  supervising,  counselling,  always 
with  her  focus  on  the  individual  child. 

Mary  was  born  and  raised  in  Brooklyn,  an  ardent 
Dodger  fan  until  the  team  left  the  borough.  She  majored  in 
Early  Childhood  Education  at  St.  Joseph's,  receiving  her 
bachelor's  degree  in  1939.  After  a  year  of  graduate  study  at 
Columbia  she  entered  the  Dominican  community  at 
Sparkill,  NY,  in  1940  and  took  her  final  vows  there  in  1947. 

In  1942  the  young  sister  started  the  first  kindergarten  at 
St.  John  Chrysostom  school  in  the  Bronx.  She  was  a 
natural  with  children  who  responded  to  her  with 
openness  and  trust. 

Responding  to  the  need  for  social  workers  in  the  child 
care  field,  sister  enrolled  in  the  Fordham  University 
School  of  Social  Service  and  in  1 946  received  her  degree  in 
MSW.  For  the  next  twenty  years  she  was  a  social  worker, 
then  supervisor  of  Social  Service  at  St.  Agnes  School  in 
Sparkill  and  Cardinal  McCloskey  Home  and  School  in 
White  Plains. 

Meanwhile  Sr.  Mary  completed  the  requirements  for 
psychiatric  social  worker,  and  initiated  therapeutic 
programs  for  emotionally  wounded  children  at  both 
McCloskey  and  St.  Agnes. 

New  York  Catholic  Charities  recognized  her  abilities 
and  recruited  her  for  the  diocesan  Department  of  Child 
Care.  There  she  initiated,  organized  and  developed  the 
Central  Referral  Unit,  which  coordinated  intake  services 
for  the  21  child  care  agencies  operating  in  the  diocese. 

But  she  preferred  more  direct  contact  with  children  and 
their  families.  She  became  Director  of  the  McCloskey  city 
office  on  149th  Street,  Bronx,  where  she  organized  the 
social  service  department  to  meet  the  needs  of  families 


Sister  Mary  Kiernan  O.P.  '39 

whose  children  were  placed  outside  the  city.  She  was  made 
Executive  Director  of  the  McCloskey  Home  in  1972  but 
resigned  after  a  year  to  become  Assistant  Director  so  that 
she  could  be  more  directly  involved  with  the  residential 
group  home  and  foster  care  programs,  and  with  com- 
munity groups  concerned  with  delinquency  prevention 
programs. 

One  of  Sr.  Mary's  most  significant  activities  was  her 
effort  to  raise  the  status  of  the  primary  child-care  workers. 
She  knew  herself  what  it  was  to  be  charged,  not  only  with 
minding,  but  feeding,  clothing,  listening  to  and  consoling 
a  score  or  more  of  rambunctious  little  ones.  She  knew  it 
was  neither  easy  nor  unimportant.  She  helped  organize 
and  served  as  first  Vice-President  of  the  New  York 
Association  of  Child  Care  Workers.  She  chaired  the  Child 
Care  Program  at  Dutchess  County  Community  College, 
organizing  courses,  teaching,  and  supervising  field  work. 
She  continued  this  work  as  coordinator  of  the  Center  for 
Families  and  Children's  Services  at  the  Fordham  School  of 
Social  Service.  Sr.  Mary  knew  that  better  trained  child  care 
workers,  with  professional  status,  would  result  in  better 
care  for  children. 

Sr.  Mary's  last  assignment  was  at  the  Sparkill  Dominican 
Convent  as  program  director  of  Thorpe  Village,  a  Senior 
Citizen  Apartment  complex  on  the  convent  grounds.  Her 
experience,  her  wisdom,  her  energy  and  her  humor 
vitalized  the  programs  there,  and  made  her  as  much  loved 
by  the  elderly  as  she  had  been  by  the  children. 

Sr.  Mary  Kiernan  died  on  October  22,  1 989.  A  number  of 
the  Class  of  '39  journeyed  to  Sparkill  to  be  present  at  her 
funeral  Mass  and  burial.  Afterwards  they  enjoyed  the 
hospitality  of  the  Dominican  Sisters  and  together  shared 
special  memories  of  their  well-loved  classmate.

A  Day  of  Recollection 

St.  Joseph's  College  held  a  Day  of  Recollection  for 
alumni  and  friends  on  October  1,  1989,  at  the  college's 
Clinton  Hill  campus.  Virginia  Kirby  Brown  guided  the 
group,  giving  them  the  opportunity,  first  of  all,  to  reflect 
where  they  were  in  their  family  life  cycles.  She  effectively 
had  them  review  what  transitions  they  had  already 
accomplished.  They  then  reflected  on  what  growths 
resulted  from  these  passages.  The  use  of  slides  and  charts 


helped  in  recall  of  the  past  and  meaningful  questions 
elicited  answers  for  this  self-examination.  A  luncheon  was 
served  at  noon  and  the  day  ended  with  Mass  celebrated  at 
three  o'clock  by  Father  Peter  De  Sanctis,  Chaplain  at 
Methodist  Hospital.  Those  who  attended  thoroughly 
enjoyed  the  day  and  several  suggested  that  it  should  be  an 
annual  event  on  our  calendar.

Norman  and  I'ickie  Tortorelli  Morey  by  the  statue  of  Our 
Lady  in  front  of  St.  James  Church  in  Medugorje,  Yugoslavia. 


My  adventurous  life,  after  leaving  St.  Joseph's,  started 
the  September  after  graduation  in  1953  when  I  married 
Norm.  In  my  senior  year  I  had  taken  a  marriage  course 
with  Father  Charles  Diviney  and  had  never  forgotten  his 
words:  "The  person  you  marry  will  decide  whether  or  not 
you  get  into  heaven."  Though  there  was  tremendous 
disparity  in  our  education  and  background,  I  knew  Norm 
Morey  was  the  one  person  who  could  possibly  do  it.  My 
parents  were  not  so  convinced,  since  he  was  a  paratrooper 
at  the  time. 

I  must  admit  life  was  sometimes  difficult.  We  moved 
often,  had  little  money  because  Norm  was  struggling 
through  the  enlisted  ranks,  and  within  seven  years  we  had 
four  children,  two  boys  and  two  girls.  We  lived  one  year  in 
Puerto  Rico.  By  that  time  Norm  had  switched  to  the  Air 
Force  and  had  obtained  a  GED  high  school  equivalency 
diploma.  In  1961  he  was  transferred  to  Plattsburgh  AFB 
and  despite  a  hectic  schedule  (he  was  working  midnight 
shifts  and  I  was  teaching  in  a  local  high  school)  we  both 
started  taking  courses  at  SUNY,  he  for  a  bachelor's  degree 
and  I  for  a  master's. 

In  late  1962,  Norm  was  called  to  serve  an  isolated  tour 
for  13  months  in  Korea  and  Vietnam.  I  continued  to  teach 
and  to  work  on  the  master's.  On  his  return  in  early  1964, 
we  moved  to  Homestead,  Florida,  his  next  assignment.  I 
began  teaching  there  and  that  summer  returned  to  New 
York  to  finish  the  requirements  for  my  master's  degree.  I 
lived  in  the  dorm  and  we  left  the  boys  with  my  parents  in 
Queens.  The  girls  stayed  with  Norm  in  Florida.  Again,  in 
1965,  Norm  went  to  Vietnam,  but  only  for  5'4  months. 

Our  next  assignment  in  1966,  to  Torrejon  Air  Base  just 
outside  of  Madrid,  Spain,  was  a  dream.  I  taught 
Americans  at  the  high  school  on  base,  with  the  bonus  of 
participating  in  host  nation  tours  with  my  students.  With 
the  blessings  of  the  Catholic  chaplain,  Norm  and  I 
organized  the  music  and  started  a  special  folk  mass  for  the 
youth  of  the  parish,  our  son  Art,  and  two  of  his  friends 
playing  the  guitars.  We  also  conducted  combined  CCD 
classes  for  the  high  school  juniors  and  seniors.  During  the 
summers  and  on  school  vacations,  we  drove  all  over  Spain 
and  much  of  Western  Europe,  the  six  of  us,  either  staying 
in  paradore  in  Spain  or  sleeping  in  a  tent,  the  most 
economical  means  at  the  time.  We  had  many  memorable 
adventures. 

In  1970,  Norm  received  orders  to  Dover  AFB  in 
Delaware.  We  were  there  a  year  and  I  taught  in  a  local  high 


school.  Norm  then  decided  to  retire  and  we  chose  to  live 
in  Peru,  New  York,  where  we  built  a  house.  I  returned  to 
teaching  in  the  same  system  where  I'd  taught  in  the  early 
60's.  From  1971  to  1980  we  actually  stayed  in  one  place. 
During  that  time  our  three  oldest  children  were  married, 
and  we  celebrated  our  25th  wedding  anniversary  by 
going  on  a  Caribbean  cruise. 

Wanderlust  and  opportunity  combined  for  a  move  in 
1980.  Norm  accepted  an  assignment  as  a  civilian  for  the 
Department  of  Defense  in  Sembach,  West  Germany.  Our 
unmarried  child,  Christopher,  was  at  West  Point  and  no 
longer  living  at  home.  We  agreed  that  all  our  children  and 
their  spouses  would  come  over  to  visit  us  at  least  once 
during  our  three-year  tour  there;  it  seemed  like  a  good 
move.  Though  I  was  sorry  to  leave  the  students  and 
faculty,  I  resigned  my  tenured  teaching  position.  I'd  been 
honored  in  1979  when  the  class  I  was  advisor  to,  for  four 
years,  dedicated  their  year  book  to  me.  But  I  was  looking 
forward  to  our  new  venture. 

We  traveled  a  great  deal  either  in  connection  with 
Norm's  job  or  for  pleasure,  every  chance  we  could.  We  had 
just  returned  from  a  trip  to  the  Soviet  Union  in  1981  when 
we  learned  that  our  oldest  daughter,  Bernadette,  had 
drowned  in  a  freak  accident.  It  was  a  double  tragedy 
because  she  was  in  her  last  month  of  pregnancy;  we  also 
lost  a  grandson.  Through  the  Red  Cross  we  were  able  to 
secure  space  immediately  on  a  government  plane  back  to 
the  states,  and  numb  with  grief,  attended  our  daughter's 
wake  and  funeral  in  Florida.  In  the  months  that  followed 
only  my  faith  upheld  me. 

Before  I  attended  St.  Joseph's  I  had  a  public  school 
education  with  only  perfunctory  attendance  in  released 
time  and  CCD  instructions.  It  was  a  minor  miracle  that  I 
selected  St.  Joe's  at  all.  I  was  tired  of  a  large  institution, 
having  attended  New  York  City  public  high  school,  and  I 
was  looking  around  for  a  small  college.  I  know  now  that 
the  most  valuable  part  of  my  education  at  St.  Joe's  was  in 
the  awakening  of  a  religious  spirit  within  me,  not  only 
through  the  required  theology  and  philosophy  courses, 
but  in  the  example  of  my  classmates  and  the  faculty.  Ever 
since,  that  four  year  experience  has  stood  me  in  good  stead, 
especially  since  the  death  of  Bernadette. 

We  returned  to  Germany.  Trying  to  focus  my  life  away 
from  our  tragedy,  I  started  teaching  part  time  for  the 
University  of   Maryland  at   a   U.S.    Army   post   in

Benjamin  Adetola  '89GS 


Benjamin  Adetola,  the  flag-bearer  of  St.  Joseph's 
College  1989  graduating  class,  has  matriculated  in  the 
School  of  Public  Health  and  Health  Policies  at  Yale 
University's  College  of  Medicine. 

A  husband  and  father  of  five,  Benjamin  was  frequently 
on  the  Dean's  List  and  received  his  Bachelor  of  Science 
degree  in  Management  of  Human  Resources  from  the 
General  Studies  Division  of  St.  Joseph's.  He  plans  to  work 
for  the  World  Health  Organization,  writing  health 
policies  to  improve  living  conditions  in  Third  World 
nations. 

Benjamin  remembers  the  misery  he  encountered  while 
Vice  President  of  International  Operations  for  a  Nigerian- 
based  cosmetic  manufacturer;  many  Africans  living  in 
sickness  because  of  unsanitary  and  crowded  conditions; 
families  sharing  one  room  shanties  without  heat; 
communities  destroyed  by  AIDS  and  other  diseases.  "They 
live  a  grim  existence,"  he  says,  and  has  vowed  to  one  day 
help  these  people. 

A  revolution  in  Nigeria  forced  Benjamin  Adetola  to  flee 
and  he  returned  to  the  United  States  intent  on  pursuing  an 


Yale 
Fellow 


education  in  Public  Health.  He  had  no  idea  what  college 
would  meet  his  needs.  His  wife,  Princess  Eliza  Adetola, 
who  received  her  BS  from  St.  Joseph's  in  1981,  suggested 
that  he  try  her  college.  "So  I  applied  to  St.  Joseph's  and 
have  never  once  regretted  this  decision.  The  staff 
understood  older  students  like  myself,"  says  Benjamin, 
"and  the  professors  helped  me  to  realize  that  I  was  not  too 
old."  Benjamin  developed  a  close  relationship  with  his 
professors  both  in  and  out  of  the  classroom.  It  was  this 
closeness  with  Dr.  Margaret  Jennings  that  helped  him  to 
apply  to  Yale.  "I  didn't  believe  I  could  make  it  at  Yale,"  he 
said,  "but  Dr.  Jennings  had  such  confidence  in  me  that  I 
began  believing  I  could  do  it." 

Yale  University  has  awarded  Benjamin  Adetola  a 
teaching  fellowship  in  the  African-American  Studies 
Department.  He  will  teach  undergraduates  the  Yoruba 
language.  After  his  graduation  from  Yale,  Benjamin 
plans  to  fulfill  his  promise  to  help  the  destitute  people  of 
the  Third  World  Nations,  but,  though  thousands  of  miles 
away,  he  says,  he  will  never  forget  the  college  that  helped 
him  to  pursue  his  ambitions. 


Assistant  Coaches  -  PatcTxogue  Soccer  Team 


Jim  Bradley  and  John  Almond,  both  1987  Suffolk 
graduates  and  both  members  of  the  college's  first  soccer 
team,  have  returned  as  assistant  coaches  to  help  the 
Golden  Eagles  reach  the  play-offs  of  the  NAIA  again  this 
season. 

Jim  Bradley,  who  received  the  Golden  Eagle  Soccer 
Award  in  1986,  has  assumed  the  role  of  everyday  coach, 
aiding  Coach  Smith  in  development  of  player  tactics  and 
skills.  A  recreation  major,  Jim  is  employed  at  Kings  Park 


State  Hospital  and  is  actively  involved  in  both  indoor  and 
outdoor  soccer. 

John  Almond,  who  received  the  Most  Valuable  Player 
Award  in  1986  for  outstanding  work  as  goalkeeper,  has 
been  named  "goalkeeper  coach",  to  help  build  up  this 
area  of  the  team.  A  business  administration  major  at  SJC,

Janet  Labuda  '74  and  William  Von  Raab 


Our  last  "formal"  contact  with  Janet  Labuda,  Class  of 
197-4,  in  the  pages  of  1981  Alumnagram,  showed  her  on  the 
tarmac  at  Kennedy  Airport  dressed  in  the  regulation  blues 
of  a  Customs'  Inspector.  What  a  difference  eight  years 
make!  The  accompanying  photograph  show  Janet  with 
William  von  Raab,  Commissioner  of  the  United  States 
Customs  Service  in  Washington,  D.C.  at  her  office,  that  of 
Director,  Revenue  Enforcement  Division,  Office  of 
Regulatory  Audit  in  the  Customs  Headquarters  Building 
on  14th  and  Constitution. 

Janet's  progress  from  the  tarmac  to  headquarters  has 
been  meteoric  by  Customs'  standards.  Its  building  blocks 
were  a  series  of  brilliant  drug  seizures  at  Kennedy  Airport: 
from  marijuana  in  hollowed-out  lamps  to  a  multi-million 
dollar  heroin  find  in  the  ubiquitous  false-bottomed 
suitcase! 

Her  several  trips  to  England  as  a  member  of  the  Britain 
Bound  Bunch,  and  her  NYU  Masters  in  European  History 
with  a  British  archaeology  component  also  came  in  handy 
as  she  moved  from  a  special  operation  in  Miami  on  drug 
money  laundering  to  a  program  officer  position  in  the 
office  of  Inspection  and  Control  in  Washington,  D.C.  in 
1983.  There  her  teaching  credentials  and  experience  were 
invaluable  as  she  developed  a  joint  heroin  interdiction 
program  between  Her  Majesty's  Customs  and  Excise  in 
England  and  U.S.  Customs,  represented  the  United  States 
at  the  United  Nations  Narcotics  Interdiction  Training 
Seminars  in  New  Delhi  and  Cairo,  and  coordinated  field 
activities  for  the  Operational  Analysis  Staffs  in  North 
Central  and  Pacific  Regions. 

After  a  120  day  stint  as  the  Special  Assistant  to  the 
Deputy  Commission  of  Customs,  she  was  appointed  the 
Commissioner's  "Good  Will  Ambassador"  to  the  Customs' 
Services  in  Europe.  The  subsequent  thirteen  months, 
from  March  1986  through  April  1987,  would  have  made 
Odysseus  pale:  based  in  The  Hague,  Netherlands,  Janet 
traveled  through  Europe  in  a  "one-man  show"  capacity 
making  three-week  official  visits  to  the  Customs  Services 
of  Austria,  Belgium,  Denmark,  France,  Italy,  Sweden  the 
United  Kingdom,  West  Germany  and,  of  course,  the 
Netherlands.  In  addition,  she  taught  two  narcotics  inter- 


diction courses  to  the  entire  Hungarian  Customs  airport 
staff,  after  which  she  received  an  operational  Inspector's 
badge  making  her  an  honorary  member  of  the  Hungarian 
Customs  Service. 

Upon  her  return  to  the  United  States,  Janet  chose  an 
assignment  in  Inspection  and  Control  and  developed  the 
Maritime  Container  Narcotics  Interdiction  Strategy. 
Shortly  after  its  implementation,  6900  pounds  of  cocaine 
were  seized  from  one  container  shipment!  Charged  by  this 
type  of  success,  Janet's  star  shone  even  more  brightly;  she 
joined  the  Commissioner's  Narcotics  Interdiction  Staff 
and  dealt  with  Federal  Government  Agency  Heads,  i.e.  the 
Coast  Guard,  FBI,  DEA,  INS  and  other  acrostics!  Within 
months  she  helped  develop  the  Zero  Tolerance  anti-drug 
use  program  and  after  attending  congressional  hearings 
with  the  Commissioner  became  its  full-time  Ombudsman 
with  the  duty  to  explain  the  sanctions  and  to  apply  the  law 
fairly  and  equitably. 

On  call  day  and  night,  Janet  added  to  a  host  of 
wonderful  stories,  one  of  the  more  amusing  being  the 
conversation  with  a  Canadian  octogenarian  who  was 
ah. lid  her  Metamucil  would  be  seized  in  crack-downs  at 
the  border. 

Media  enquiries  abounded  and  Janet  found  herself 
making  live  TV  and  radio  broadcasts  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada,  and  appearing  on  the  front  page  of  USA 
Today,  June  8,  1988.  She  was  promoted  to  a  Division 
Director  (GM-15)  last  April  and  now  she  and  her  staff 
wrestle  with  global  trade  issues  and  with  Trade  Act 
enforcement  for  Customs  brokers  and  importers  to  ensure 
that  the  United  States  government  is  not  being  defrauded 
of  its  rightful  import  duties. 

At  home  in  a  spacious  Woodbridge,  Virginia,  townhouse. 
Janet  relaxes  by  tending  a  beautiful  rose  garden,  entertain- 
ing two  nephews,  and  playing  hostess  with  the  mostest  to 
some  of  her  many  European  and  Asian  friends  who  travel 
to  the  United  States. 

She  has  remembered  SJC  recently  in  a  most  unusual 
way:  she  hired  her  own  SJC  composition  teacher, 
Margaret  Jennings,  to  conduct  a  five-day  training  course 
to  sharpen  the  writing  skills  of  the  regulatory  audit  staff.

Harold  "Mike"  Bailey  ,86S 


Harold  Bailey  '86,  a  graduate  of  the  Suffolk  Campus,  is 
teaching  in  the  Lower  Kuskokwim  School  District, 
located  in  the  southwestern  section  of  Alaska.  The  largest 
school  district  in  the  state,  it  encompasses  21  villages  as 
well  as  three  schools  in  Bethel,  the  District  Headquarters. 
It  is  spread  over  an  area  the  size  of  Pennsylvania  and  220 
teachers  serve  2,750  students  in  grades  kindergarten 
through  twelfth  year. 

The  land  in  that  area  is  flat  and  marked  by  lakes  and 
marshlands,  with  muddy  conditions  during  the  summer, 
which  necessitates  the  use  of  rubber  boots.  Winter 
temperatures  go  as  low  as  30  to  40  degrees  below  zero,  with 
a  wind  chill  factor  of  minus  80  to  100  degrees. 

Mike,  as  he  is  better  known,  lives  in  a  Cupic  (pronounced 
Joo-p  ik)  Eskimo  village  named  Mekoryuk,  on  an  island 
called  Nunivak  in  the  Bering  Sea.  He  teaches  Language 
Arts  and  Social  Studies  to  seventeen  high  school  students. 
There  is  one  other  teacher  in  the  high  school,  one  teacher 
for  kingergarten  through  fourth  grade  and  one  for  grades 
five  through  eight.  There  is  also  a  Site  Administrator. 

Mike's  courses  include  World  History,  Reading, 
English  I  &  II,  English  III  &  IV,  Alaskan  Studies,  and  a 
subject  called  A.N.C.S.A.,  which  is  the  Alaska  Native 
Claims  Settlement  Act  wherein  the  native  population  of 
Alaska  received  44  million  acres  of  Alaskan  land,  1  billion 
dollars,  and  the  creation  of  13  native  regional  corporations 
to  manage  the  land  and  money.  He  is  also  cross  country 
coach.  All  travel  between  villages  is  by  bush  plane  and  one 
literally  travels  across  country  for  a  cross-country  meet  or 
basketball  game. 

The  village  of  Mekoryuk  is  a  friendly  one  consisting  of 
approximately  140  people.  Natives  are  employed  by 
government,  school  and  native  corporations.  Many 
natives  still  choose  to  practice  subsistence  living.  They 
hunt  muskoxen,  geese  and  reindeer,  and  fish  often  for 
trout,  salmon  and  halibut.  They  also  trap  arctic  fox. 

How  did  Mike  obtain  this  position?  We  go  back  to 
December  1979  when  he  had  earned  enough  high  school 
credits  and  opted  to  join  the  Marine  Corps  in  which  he 
served  until  September  1982.  (He  did  get  leave  in  June 


1980  to  receive  his  diploma  from  Babylon  High  School.) 

When  he  left  the  service  Mike  worked  as  a  gas  station 
manager  but  felt  the  need  for  further  education,  which 
brought  him  to  St.  Joseph's  College.  In  May  1986  he 
earned  a  bachelor's  degree  in  History. 

At  SJC  Mike  was  a  member  of  the  History  Club,  a 
representative  on  the  Student  Council,  and  writer  for  the 
student  newspaper.  In  the  summer  of  '88,  he  participated 
in  the  European  Cultural  History  Program  of  Eastern 
Michigan  University  and  travelled,  with  30  other  students 
from  the  USA,  Canada  and  Europe,  visiting  museums  and 
historic  sites  of  East  Germany,  Czechoslovakia,  Austria, 
Italy  and  Greece.  Mike  earned  3  credits  each  in  Art 
Appreciation  and  History  of  20th  Century  Europe. 

From  January  1987  to  May  1989,  Mike  worked  for 
Nassau  Center  for  the  Developmentally  Disabled  as  a 
Habilitation  Specialist  in  conjunction  with  therapists, 
social  workers,  psychologist,  the  nursing  staff  and  house 
managers.  Concurrently,  he  worked  sixteen  months  as  a 
Case  Manager  for  the  Sunrise  Support  System  in 
Amityville,  acting  as  a  link  to  legal  and  medical  services 
for  the  emotionally  impaired. 

Always  adventurous,  Mike  enjoyed  two  weeks  in  the 
summer  of  '88,  travelling  by  car  around  Ireland  and  being 
present  at  Dublin's  Millenium  Celebration.  In  May  1989, 
Mike  was  off  again,  driving  up  through  Canada  to 
Fairbanks,  Alaska,  enjoying  the  extraordinary  sights  and 
the  many  beautiful  creatures  along  the  way.  Arriving  at 
Fairbanks,  he  enrolled  at  the  University  in  classes  in 
Alaskan  History,  Native  Culture,  and  Music  Appreciation. 
He  became  interested  in  the  Alaska  Teacher  Placement 
Program  touted  at  one  of  the  three  job  fairs  held  during 
the  summer  and  on  applying  was  assigned  to  Meyoryuk. 

As  for  the  future,  Mike  has  to  decide  among  three 
things:  returning  to  Mekoryuk,  earning  a  master's  degree, 
or  fulfilling  another  dream  to  work  in  the  Faith 
Community  of  Covenant  House  as  a  one-year  volunteer. 

Mike  is  single  with  no  serious  relationships  but  hopes 
to  find  someone  who  enjoys  taking  chances,  adventure, 
and  helping  others.

The  Toughest  Job  Vll  Ever  Learn  From 


"Peace  Corps.  .  .  the  toughest  job  you'll  ever  love." 
Smile  when  you  say  that.  For  even  though  living  and 
working  in  a  culture  so  very  different  from  your  own  can 
be  ever  so  taxing,  the  return  you  get  is  ever  so  rewarding. 
Nowhere  is  this  paradox  more  apparent  than  in  the 
constant  cross-cultural  confusion,  the  small  misunder- 
standings between  myself  and  the  Papua  New  Guinea 
nationals  which  occur  almost  daily.  These  breakdowns  in 
communication  can  sometimes  drive  you  to  pull  out  your 
hair  which,  due  to  the  lack  of  barbers  in  "the  bush",  can 
grow  quite  long.  But  more  often,  they  make  you  laugh 
with  a  strange  combination  of  humor  and  insight,  at  the 
differences  between  Western  and  Melanesian  cultures. 

Papua  New  Guinea  is  one  fascinating  place.  Occupying 
the  eastern  half  of  the  island  of  New  Guinea,  P.  N.G.  is  the 
largest  country  in  Melanesia.  Though  the  population  is  a 
mere  3  million,  this  country  contains  a  vast  array  of 
cultures;  well  over  700  different  tribal  groups  and 
languages  have  been  documented.  These  tribes  are  spread 
out  over  three  main  areas:  the  Coast  -  where  the  people  are 
friendly  even  if  the  sun  is  not;  the  Islands  (Bougainville, 
Manus,  New  Britain  and  New  Ireland)  -  with  local  color 
right  out  of  Tales  of  the  South  Pacific;  and  the  Highlands- 
where  the  richness  in  minerals  rivals  the  richness  of 
culture. 

My  Peace  Corps  assignment  is  as  an  English  Teacher  at 
Kagua  High  School  in  the  Southern  Highlands.  It  is  here 
that  I  try  my  best  to  educate  the  Papua  New  Guineans  in 
my  charge,  putting  to  good  use  everything  Sr.  Margaret 
Buckley  and  Sr.  John  Raymond  taught  me. 

The  kids  here  are  under  immense  pressure  from  their 
villages.  The  villagers  pool  their  money  and  send  the  kids 
to  school  with  the  understanding  that  they  will  get  jobs 
and  help  to  support  the  village.  But  the  problem  is  that 


there  are  simply  not  enough  jobs.  Only  15°o  of  the  Grade 
10  graduates  will  go  on  to  further  education  or  get  a  job. 

I  suppose  that  my  real  task  here  is  to  instill  some  pride 
into  these  children,  to  instill  in  them  the  notion  that  there 
is  no  shame  in  going  back  to  the  village.  I  try  to  make  them 
see  that  it  is  they  who  have  been  trained  in  modern 
agricultural  techniques,  it  is  they  who  can  write  a  business 
letter  in  English,  it  is  they  who  can  bring  development  to 
their  villages. 

Though  the  homesickness  still  strikes  deep  at  times,  I've 
settled  in  nicely.  In  fact,  I  no  longer  look  at  the  calendar 
and  cry  out,  "Oh  no!  I've  got  2  more  years  to  go!"  Instead 
it's,  "Oh  no!  I've  got  only  12  months  left!" 

Yes,  I've  become  quite  used  to  this  place  called  Kagua. 
The  other  day  I  met  a  grandfather  of  one  of  my  students  on 
the  road.  I  was  conversing  with  him  in  my  slowly 
improving  Tok  Pisin  (Melanesian  Pidgin  -  lingua  franca 
of  P.  N.G.)  and  it  was  live  whole  minutes  before  I  realized 
that  the  man  had  a  piece  of  wood  through  his  pierced  nose 
and  wore  nothing  except  his  grass  skirt.  It  just  goes  to 
show  you  that  beyond  the  surface  there  is  really  not  much 
difference  between  the  so-called  "civilized  man"  and  the 
so-called  "primitive". 

If  that  old  man  were  to  ask  me  what  I  am  getting  out  of 
this  Peace  Corps  experience,  I  would  tell  him:  "Mi  kisim 
wanpela  bikpela  save  -  olgeta  man  long  olgeta  pies  i  stap 
olsem."  ("I  am  getting  an  understanding  -  an  under- 
standing that  people  are  the  same  everywhere.' 

The  more  I  think  about  it,  the  more  I  realize  that  there  is 
another  understanding  dawning  on  me.  It  paradoxically 
falls  in  line  with  "the  toughest  job  you'll  ever  love."  This 
world  we  live  on  is  so  much  bigger  and  smaller  than  I  ever 
imagined.

Eleanor  O'Boyle,  RN 


Eleanor  Frey  O'Boyle,  RN,  Clinical  Nurse  Specialist, 
was  honored  at  a  special  Award  Ceremony  and  Reception 
on  April  28,  as  Long  Island's  "Nurse  of  Distinction,"  -  the 
first  such  award  initiated  and  given  by  the  State 
Legislature.  With  seven  other  nominees,  Eleanor  was 
feted  at  a  gala  luncheon  in  Albany.  More  than  700  eminent 
nurses  and  health  professionals  attended. 

Out  of  334  nominations  submitted  by  health  care 
facilities  and  professionals,  eight  winners  were  chosen  by 
regional  peer  review  committees.  A  panel  of  12  nursing 
and  health  care  specialists  picked  the  statewide  winner, 
citing  her  as  a  "role  model  who  could  attract  people  into 
nursing." 

Concerned  to  restore  dignity  to  seniors,  Gerontological 
nurse,  Eleanor  O'Boyle  battles  misconceptions  about 
aging,  through  a  network  of  community  programs 
ranging  from  senior  wellness  to  caregiver  support.  A 
practioner,  educator  and  researcher  at  Mercy  Hospital,  she 
is  piloting  programs  on  fall  prevention  and  she  coaches 
senior  citizens'  groups  on  weight  and  stress  management, 
safety  and  memory  enhancement.  "It's  wonderful,"  she 
says,  "to  see  people  take  responsibility  for  their  own 
health."  Eleanor  tells  her  own  story: 

I  was  born  in  the  Bronx,  the  oldest  daughter  of  a  family 
that  would  eventually  have  six  girls,  no  brothers.  My 
father  died  when  I  was  1 1  and  my  youngest  sister  2,  so  ours 
was  a  household  of  women. 

I  spent  the  first  twelve  school  years  in  parochial  schools: 
St.  Helena,  and  St.  Catherine  Academy.  In  spite  of  my 
teacher's  objections  and  my  mother's  doubts,  I  chose 
nursing  as  a  profession,  and  I  have  never  once  regretted  the 
decision.  I  spent  three  happy  and  busy  years  at  Grasslands 
Hospital  in  Westchester  County  and  left  there  after 
graduation  to  work  at  Jacobi  Hospital  in  the  Bronx. 

I  met  my  husband  soon  after  graduation  and  we  married 
after  a  short  courtship  -  again  despite  the  doubts  of  my 
mother.  We  recently  celebrated  our  twenty-seventh 
anniversary!  We've  had  a  busy  and  unconventional 
twenty-seven  years.  Both  of  us  returned  to  college  as  adults 
and  each  supported  the  other,  struggling  through  term 
papers,  book  reports  and  late  night  classes. 

Our  children  grew  up  amid  this  chaos  and  have 
survived  -  in  fact  thrived  very  nicely.  We  have  four  natural 
children:  Anita,  26,  a  SUNY  Geneseo  graduate,  works  as  a 
manager  for  trade  shows  in  New  York  City;  Edward,  25, 
graduate  of  Virginia  University,  is  an  Assistant  Vice 


Nurse 

of 
Distinction 


President  for  Barclay  Bank;  Denise,  22,  will  graduate  from 
St.  Joseph's  in  December  1989,  and  Christopher,  17,  a 
senior  at  Sayville  High  School.  We  also  have  two 
Vietnamese  children  who  have  been  with  us  since  1980, 
Huy,  24,  who  works  for  Nature's  Bounty  and  Thu,  19,  a 
senior  at  Sayville  High  School. 

I  have  worked  as  a  nurse  since  I  became  one  -  nights, 
evenings,  summers,  etc.,  on  a  part-time  basis.  Our 
children  were  cared  for  by  their  father  when  I  wasn't 
home.  He  could  do  it  all  -  change  diapers,  go  to  PTA 
meetings,  drive  in  car  pools,  sponge  a  fevered  brow,  make 
terrific  sloppy  joes,  etc.. 

I've  enjoyed  my  work  and  my  schooling.  St.  Joseph's 
gave  me  the  confidence  to  say  "I  can"  and  my  bosses  at 
Mercy  Hospital  gave  me  the  opportunity  to  do  all  the 
things  I  thought  I  could  do.  I  work  with  older  people  and 
we  have  a  special  bond  -  we  learn  from  each  other,  find  joy 
in  each  other,  and  praise  one  another. 

Accomplishments  of  which  I  am  especially  proud  are: 

The  Caregiver  Program  -  Education  and  support  for 
those  who  care  for  the  older  adult.  Most  caregivers  I  have 
seen,  endure  great  physical  and  psycholocial  deprivation 
in  order  to  care  for  their  parents  or  other  loved  ones.  They 
receive  much  empty  praise  and  little  real  help  from  their 
families,  friends,  co-workers,  religious  organizations  and 
the  government. 

The  Gerontological  Nursing  Program  -  This  not  only 
prepares  35  or  40  registered  nurses  per  year  to  take  the 
American  Nurse  Association  examination  in  Geron- 
tological Nursing,  but  also  supports  excellence  in  nursing 
practice  in  all  clinical  settings,  and  autonomy  and 
professional  decision-making  for  the  nurse  who  works 
with  the  elderly.  Gerontological  Nursing  was  always 
considered  very  low-status  perhaps  a  reflection  of  the 
value  that  is  placed  on  older  adults  in  our  society.  Not  so 
any  more.  Gerontological  Nursing  has  come  into  its  own, 
as  well  it  should,  considering  that  almost  thirty  million 
Americans  are  now  over  sixty-five  and  nurses  play  an  ever 
more  important  role  in  their  lives  because  of  their  need  for 
care  rather  than  cure. 

Wellness  program  for  Older  Adults  -  started  three  years 
ago  when  wellness  for  older  adults  was  snickered  at.  "How 
is  it  possible,"  people  asked,  "to  be  old  and  well  at  the 
same  time?  Don't  old  and  sick  go  together?"  We're 
delighted  to  say,  "Absolutely  no!".  In  fact  the  capacity  of 
our  older  folks  for  life-style  changes,  education  and

Gloria  Zvinglis  '83GS 


Gloria  Zvinglis  matriculated  at  the  Patchogue  Campus 
in  1978  and  in  1983  received  her  Bachelor  of  Science 
Degree  in  Community  Health.  She  is  now  a  Nursing 
Supervisor  at  Brunswick  Medical  Center,  working  with 
substance  abusers  at  Brunswick  House.  She  is  also 
studying  at  New  York  Institute  of  Technology  in  Old 
Westbury,  majoring  in  Substance  Abuse  and  expects  to 
receive  her  Master's  in  Professional  Human  Relations  in 
January  1990. 

Gloria  attributes  much  of  her  success  in  life  to  her 
Catholic  education,  having  graduated  from  Little  Flower 
Elementary  School  in  Woodside,  and  from  Bishop 
McDonnell  High  School  in  Brooklyn  where  "we  were 
taught  to  be  valiant  women,"  she  says.  When  the  second  of 
her  two  daughters  started  school,  she  decided  to  become  a 
Licensed  Practical  nurse.  She  graduated  from  Huntington 
Hospital  in  1962  with  an  Associate  degree  in  Applied 
Science.  Next  came  Marymount  College  and  then  on  to  St. 
Joseph's  College. 


"I  am  62  years  old,"  she  writes,  "love  school,  love 
nursing.  When  I  was  counselled  before  graduation  I  was 
asked,  'Why  would  a  woman  your  age  want  to  go  to 
school?  And  who  would  hire  you?  The  company  would 
not  want  to  spend  the  money  on  benefits.'  I  ignored  these 
comments  and  as  a  result  I  received  a  Nursing  Supervisor's 
position  and  I  am  furthering  my  education  at  New  York 
Institute  of  Technology,  pursuing  my  Master's  degree. 
Thank  you  St.  Joseph's  and  all  your  teaching  staff  -  you 
were  wonderful!" 

While  pursuing  her  Master's  degree,  Gloria  was 
admitted  to  the  Psi  Chi  -  National  Honor  Society  in 
Psychology  in  May  1988.  "The  greatest  thrill  of  all  was  to 
have  four  generations  of  family  present  to  applaud  as  I 
received  this  honor."  The  fourth  generation,  and  the  joy 
of  her  life  are  twins  -  a  boy  and  a  girl  -  who  were  born  3'? 
years  ago  to  her  daughter. 


Nurse  of  Distinction,  continued 

the  application  of  learned  information  is  inspiring,  and 
the  feeling  of  control  and  the  loss  of  helplessness  brings 
giant  smiles  to  older  faces. 

The  Education  of  Neighbors  -  of  those  in  the 
community  and  of  professional  health  care  workers 
concerning  elder  abuse,  neglect  and  maltreatment. 

We  have  always  been  in  the  midst  of  new  programs  at 
Mercy  Hospital  and  we  are  now. 

My  family  continues  to  be  happy  and  my  new-found 
fame  has  enabled  my  husband  and  me  to  travel,  so  that  I 
can  teach  others  about  the  care  of  the  older  adult.  I  hope  to 
return  to  school  -  for  certification  as  a  Nursing  Home 
Administrator  or  for  certification  as  an  Alcoholism 
Counselor,  specifically  focused  on  the  problem  of  alcohol 
misuse  among  older  adults. 


Two  years  ago  I  returned  to  St.  Joseph 's  as  an  instructor. 
It  was  a  strange  feeling  but  a  rather  nice  one.  I  learn  from 
my  students.  I  have  met  some  very  smart  and  creative 
people  and  it  is  a  distinct  pleasure  to  see  adults  reach  their 
full  potential. 

This  past  year  has  been  exciting  -  with  the  Nurse  of 
Distinction  Award,  with  inclusion  in  "Who's  Who 
Among  American  Nurses,"  with  the  presentation  of  my 
research  projects  at  the  Center  for  the  Advancement  of 
Nursing  Practice,  with  membership  in  Sigma  Meta  Tau, 
the  Nursing  Honor  Society.  Sometimes  I  have  to  pinch 
myself  to  be  sure  it's  all  happening  to  me.  Perhaps  the  fact 
that  I'm  really  quite  ordinary  will  help  others  to  believe  "I 
can"  too.  I  believe  as  Robert  Kennedy  did,  that  "I  see 
things  as  they  could  be  and  ask  'why  not?'"

Veronica  Wazny  Murphy  '64 


When  I  remember  St.  Joseph's,  I  think  of  the  friends  I 
had  there,  but  I  also  remember  two  teachers  who  greatly 
influenced  my  life.  Sister  Therese  Marie  made  creativity 
and  writing  both  parts  of  my  everyday  living.  Sister  Grace 
Maria  confronted  me  with  my  dishonesty  the  one  time  I 
ever  relied  on  Cliff  Notes  instead  of  reading  the  assigned 
literature.  Beyond  the  embarrassment  I  felt  at  being  so 
easily  found  out,  I  also  learned  that  I  could  only  be  as 
honest  with  others  as  I  was  with  myself.  That  was  perhaps 
the  most  important  lesson  I  ever  learned. 

My  first  profession  was  teaching:  one  year  at  Franklin 
K.  Lane  High  School  in  Brooklyn  and  another  six  years  at 
two  high  schools  in  Toledo,  Ohio.  The  last  school,  for 
emotionally  disturbed  adolescent  women,  provided  the 
transition  from  teaching  to  counseling,  my  second  career. 
I  earned  my  Master's  degree  in  Education,  serving  as  a 
part-time  Guidance  Counselor  and  then  as  a  peer 
consultant  for  other  teachers,  K-8,  in  the  Toledo  Public 
School  system,  for  thirteen  years. 

I  was  also  active  in  my  teachers'  union,  serving  office  as 
a  part  time  staff  member  and  as  associate  editor  of  union 
publications.  As  a  teacher  advocate,  I  representated  union 
members  at  public-agency  hearings.  Other  duties  included 
negotiating,  drafting  contract  language,  lobbying  and 
general  political  activism.  I  counseled  and  assisted  teachers 
both  with  classroom  concerns  and  with  personal  problems. 
My  union  consultation  experiences  led  me  to  law  school 
in  1978. 

1978  was  also  the  year  of  the  second  Toledo  teachers' 
strike  and  I  resigned  all  my  union  positions  in  order  to 
relieve  myself  of  any  obligation  of  loyalty  to  the  elected 
leadership  so  that  I  could  act  independently. 

When  I  began  law  school  that  fall,  my  general  intention 
was  to  use  my  law  degree  within  the  context  of  education 
or  the  labor  movement  rather  than  to  become  a  practicing 
lawyer.  During  law  school  I  continued  to  work  full  time  in 
the  schools  and  part  time  writing  for  the  union  and 
editing.  I  attended  night  classes  four  to  five  times  a  week 
year  round  and  earned  my  JD,  Juris  Doctorate,  in  four  and 
a  half  years.  During  the  last  three  summers  of  law  school,  I 
clerked  for  a  public  interest  firm  doing  poverty  law.  That 
first  summer,  the  executive  director  told  me  there  would  be 
a  place  for  me  in  the  firm  after  law  school  if  I  were 
interested.  But  I  continued  to  tell  myself  that  I  was 
independent  and  could  succeed  alone. 


I  graduated  from  law  school  and  received  the  Dean's 
Award.  I  took  and  failed  the  State  Bar  examination  twice, 
by  less  than  one  percent,  before  passing  it  on  the  third  try, 
with  points  to  spare.  Once  I  passed  the  Bar  exam  and  was 
sworn  in  as  a  licensed  attorney  and  officer  of  the  court,  I 
resigned  form  the  school  system,  withdrew  my  retirement 
contributions,  rented  space,  hung  out  my  shingle  and 
began  to  practice  law.  About  two  weeks  after  I  opened  my 
office,  I  received  a  telephone  call  from  the  senior  partner  in 
a  firm  I  respected,  inviting  me  to  interview  for  an  associate's 
position  as  yet  unadvertised  -but  I  chose  to  go  it  alone. 

To  help  keep  myself  financially  afloat  during  the  next 
two  years,  while  I  continued  to  build  my  business,  I  sent 
writing  samples  to  the  firm  mentioned  above  so  that  it 
might  consider  me  for  the  kind  of  piece-meal  work  large 
firms  sometimes  farm  out.  I  received  two  research  projects 
from  one  of  the  partners.  I  did  ghost  writing  and  editing  for 
more  experienced  lawyers  and  developed  and  taught  a 
writing  refresher  course  for  lawyers  and  support  staff  for 
the  firm  where  I'd  clerked. 

Because  of  violence  I  experienced  in  two  years  of  married 
life,  I  divorced  my  husband.  Since  I  began  practicing  law 
five  years  ago,  I  have  done  pro  bono  (lawyers'  volunteer) 
work  with  the  residents  of  Bethany  House,  a  long-term 
shelter  for  domestic  violence  victims  and  their  children.  I 
also  mediate  disputes  between  couples  and  among 
neighbors  for  the  municipal  court  once  a  month  and  accept 
invitations  to  speak  on  various  legal  topics  from  groups 
willing  to  make  donations  to  Bethany. 

Mine  remains  a  general  practice  -  mostly  civil,  but  also 
criminal  -  in  federal,  state  and  municipal  courts.  I  find 
myself  being  drawn  into  juvenile  court  by  the  hope  of  truly 
turning  lives  around  there  -  helping  youngsters  free 
themselves  from  substance  abuse,  reuniting  troubled 
families,  protecting  endangered  children.  I'm  the  working- 
people's  lawyer  I  wanted  to  be  -  the  legal  equivalent  of  the 
old-fashioned  country  doctor  "G.P. ."  There  are  coloring 
books  and  crayons  on  hand  for  children  who  accompany 
clients  to  my  office. 

For  about  two  years,  I've  done  public  readings  of  my 
poetry  and  just  this  month  entered  some  in  a  local 
competition.  My  life  bears  little  resemblance  to  the  one  I 
expected  in  adolescence  and  is  richer,  fuller  and  happier 
than  anything  I  was  then  capable  of  dreaming.

What  parent  has  never  felt  a  twinge  of  fear  for  the  safety 
of  his  child  as  he  boards  the  school  bus?  School  bus  safety 
is  a  major  concern  also  of  teachers  and  administrators. 
Awareness  and  adherence  to  procedures  of  waiting  for, 
loading,  riding  and  leaving  the  school  bus  must  be  carried 
out  constantly  with  the  children. 

Mary  Beth  Stevenson  Malloy  73,  a  certified  teacher,  was 
appointed  Bus  Safety  Specialist  for  BOCES  III.  This  term 
Mary  Beth  offered  a  new  and  exciting  bus  safety  program 
of  great  appeal  to  the  children.  It  features  a  larger  than  life 
character,  Stella,  the  Safety  Star,  in  a  60-minute  assembly 


Stella 

the 

Safety  Star 


program  for  grades  K-6.  Cartoon  slides,  safety  demonstra- 
tions and  a  sing-along  actively  involve  the  youngsters  and 
dramatically  demonstrate  why  safety  rules  must  be 
practiced  at  all  times.  Handouts,  a  bookmark  and  a 
placemat  with  eleven  NEVER  NEVERS  of  school  bus 
safety,  and  a  school  bus  safety  song  reinforce  the  safety 
message. 

The  program  was  successfully  shown  in  the  Pittsburgh 
area  to  over  100,000  cheering  children.  Interested  in  an

Helen  relaxing  at  the  salon! 


Helen  Golden  Brown  '45  wrote  about  her  geese  in  the 
Summer  '81  issue  of  Alumnagram.  She  still  has  two 
ganders,  but  her  female  goose  died  last  winter.  The  two 
ganders,  now  17  years  old,  are  such  pets  -  they  still  like  to 
be  picked  up.  The  Browns  own  60  acres  in  upstate  New- 
York,  and  have  set  up  the  land  as  a  nature  habitat  by 
planting  pines,  putting  in  a  pond  and  cutting  trails.  Now 
she  tells  of  her  latest  acquisitions. 

In  1981  after  the  death  of  our  dog,  we  decided  to  try  a 
different  type  of  pet.  My  husband,  Lew,  had  always  had  a 
yen  for  a  parrot,  so  to  Albany  we  went  and  came  home 
with  an  orange  wing  amazon  who  became  Sam.  In  the 
course  of  next  year,  we  came  home  with  a  Severe  macaw 
named  Lady,  a  Greenwing  Macaw,  named  Holly,  a  pair  of 
Gold  mantled  rosellas  and  three  parakeets.  We  were  given 
Mimi,  a  military  macaw,  by  a  friend. 

Cages  are  a  necessity  and  the  cages  for  the  two  big 
macaws  are  of  iron  6'3"  high.  A  macaw  can  chew  through 
anything  weaker  than  iron.  The  macaws,  parrot  and 
rosellas  were  all  wild,  imported  birds,  not  hand  raised, 
which  meant  we  had  patiently  to  train  them  to  accept  us  as 
friends.  Lew  and  I  have  always  disliked  teaching  animals 
"cute  tricks"  and  instead  gave  them  freedom  to  use  their 
own  intelligence. 

Mimi  found  that  the  kitchen  sink  was  the  best  place  to 
bathe.  Opening  cupboard  doors  was  simple  and  jumping 
on  a  loaf  of  bread  was  fun.  Holly  found  that  sitting  on  a 
chair  and  preening  my  hair  was  a  friendly  thing  to  do  and 
made  me  look  as  though  I  had  received  a  shot  of  electricity. 
Sammy  discovered  that  an  antique  horsehead  on  the 
mantle  was  good  place  to  survey  his  domain.  He  also 
prided  himself  on  saying,  "I'm  a  good  boy,"  from  the  top 
of  a  white  silk  lampshade. 

We  don't  clip  wings,  so  our  birds  can  fly  where  they 
choose  inside  the  house.  The  flash  of  colors  when  they  fly 
is  lovely,  although  Sammy  is  a  bit  of  a  "hot"  flyer.  Mimi  is 
jealous  of  the  other  birds  so  her  free  time  is  in  the  morning 
when  we  share  breakfast.  She  enjoys  tasting  cereal,  toast 
and  juice.  She  climbs  down  the  chair  and  explores  the 
kitchen  and  sun  porch. 

In  the  evening,  Sam,  Lady  and  Holly  are  free  and  I 
sometimes  feel  like  a  tree  when  they  land  on  me  after  a 
flight. 

I  have  learned  that  preening  a  bird's  head  or  rubbing  the 
preen  gland  on  a  macaw's  back  creates  euphoria  in  the 
bird. 

I  haul  feed,  walnuts,  peanuts  and  fruit,  vacuum 
frequently  and  clean  cages,  but  in  turn  I  get  a  lot  of 
affection  and  a  chance  to  be  close  to  some  of  the  most 
beautiful  creatures  on  God's  earth.

This  Mouse  Won 't  Byte 


Patricia  Dittmer  at  the  Dillon  Center  computer 


There  is  a  mouse  in  the  Dillon  Child  Study  Center  at  St. 
Joseph's  College,  but  the  preschoolers  in  Sr.  Patricia 
Dittmer's  class  are  not  worried  because  they  know  this 
mouse  won't  bite.  Indeed  this  "mouse"  is  just  a  computer 
term  for  the  communication  device  on  the  Center's  new 
Apple  II  computer. 

The  Apple  II  is  part  of  a  teaching  program  designed  by 
Sr.  Patricia  Dittmer  and  Sr.  Helen  Kearney,  Director  of  the 
Dillon  Center.  The  goal  of  the  program  is  to  help  children 
become  computer  literate  through  the  development  and 
utilitzation  of  programs  appropriate  for  young  children 
and  consistent  with  the  principles  of  good  early  childhood 
education. 

Apple  II  adds  to  the  rich  environment  at  Dillon  Center 
which  includes  many  experiences  that  involve  sight, 
sound,  touch,  taste  and  smell,  adult-child  and  child-child 
conversations,  as  well  as  an  array  of  other  age-appropriate 


activities.  The  computer  supplements  but  does  not 
substitute  for  experiences  in  which  children  can  discover 
with  all  their  senses.  This  special  children's  program  is 
designed  to  help  nurture  creative  expression  while  at  the 
same  time  familiarizing  them  with  the  computer. 

The  emphasis  is  to  learn  by  doing.  There  is  Ricky,  for 
example,  a  five-year  old,  who  uses  the  Apple's  drawing 
and  coloring  program  to  make  colorful  computer 
creations.  By  selecting  from  among  the  spectrum  of  colors 
on  the  computer's  panel,  Ricky  chooses  a  color  to  draw 
with,  much  as  he  would  select  a  crayon.  With  a  circular 
slide  of  the  computer's  mouse,  Ricky  creates  corresponding 
circular  figures  on  the  computer  screen.  When  the 
drawing  is  complete,  he  taps  a  button  and  watches  as  the 
printer  prints  a  color  copy  of  his  creation  -  a  lasting 
reminder  to  the  child  that  he  can  be  creative  with  a 
computer. 

Though  the  program  is  still  in  its  developmental  stage, 
Sr.  Patricia  and  Sr.  Helen  are  quite  satisfied  with  the 
results  so  far.  "The  children  are  becoming  very  confident 
with  the  computer,  have  increased  their  thinking  and 
creative  abilities  and  are  enjoying  themselves  in  the 
process,"  says  Sr.  Patricia. 

The  Dillon  Child  Study  Center  was  established  in  1934 
as  a  laboratory  for  St.  Joseph's  College  students  in  the 
Child  Study  Department.  An  integral  part  of  the  Child 
Study  program,  the  center  provides  a  strong  model  for 
students  preparing  to  be  teachers,  child  psychologists  or 
early  childhood  specialists.  Teacher  education  programs 
in  the  Child  Study  Department  are  registered  with  the 
New  York  State  Education  Department  for  Certification 
in  Early  Childhood,  Elementary  and  Special  Education.

programs  at  St.  Joseph's,  contact  the  College  at  245

Adventurous  Life,  continued 


Kaiserslautern.  I  also  taught  one  semester  for  City 
Colleges  of  Chicago  at  a  radar  site.  I  chaired  the  reading 
group  of  the  German-American  Women's  Club  of 
Kaiserslautern,  an  organization  composed  not  only  of 
Germans  and  Americans,  but  women  from  many  other 
countries  living  in  Germany.  On  base,  I  was  a  member  of 
the  CWOC,  Catholic  Women  of  the  Chapel,  and  for  a  year 
was  in  charge  of  programs  for  the  Officers'  Wives  Club. 

At  the  end  of  our  tour,  we  returned  to  our  home  in  Peru, 
NY,  where  I  taught  classes  at  Plattsburgh  AFB  for  the  local 
community  college.  In  1985,  Norm  again  accepted  a 
position  in  Ramstein,  West  Germany,  not  far  from 
Sembach.  I  resumed  membership  and  old  friendships  in 
the  German-American  Women's  Club.  Most  of  my 
American  friends  had  returned  to  the  states,  but  all  my 
German  friends  were  still  there.  I  became  American 
President  of  the  club,  sharing  duties  with  my  German 
counterpart,  who  recently  visited  us  here  in  the  States, 
with  her  husband.  That  position  was  an  opportunity  to 
promote  in  international  understanding  on  many  levels; 
personal,  local  and  federal,  because  I  was  involved  with  all 
the  aspects  of  the  Club  and  with  the  federation  of  all  the 
German-American  clubs  in  Germany.  One  of  the 
highlights  was  running  the  annual  Pfennig  basar,  which 
is  like  a  huge  indoor  flea  market.  The  proceeds  went  half 
to  German  and  half  to  American  welfare.  A  car  was 
purchased  for  the  use  of  the  local  German  Social  Services, 
and  on  the  American  side,  we  donated  to  American  scouts, 
Red  Cross,  USO  and  other  American  programs  right  in 
the  area. 

I  also  attended  the  annual  AWAG,  American  Women's 
Activities  in  Germany,  conferences  that  bring  together 
women  representatives  from  all  organizations  and 
activities  in  Germany,  a  testament  to  the  valuable 
contributions  that  American  women  are  making  to  their 
local  communities  there,  both  military  and  civilian.  For 


instance,  Family  Services  at  Ramstein  is  a  place  on  base, 
staffed  entirely  by  volunteers,  where  military  families  can 
sign  out  household  items  until  their  own  houehold  goods 
arrive  from  the  States,  find  information  regarding  their 
next  assignments,  where  lower  ranks  can  find  used 
clothing  for  themselves  and  families,  where  single  and 
una«  i  ompanied  military  can  have  their  stripes  and  patches 
sewed  on  free  of  charge,  and  many  other  needs  met. 

I'm  really  fortunate.  Most  of  all,  I  have  a  wonderful 
husband  of  36'/2  years.  (He  now  has  four  degrees.)  Our 
son,  Art,  is  a  graduate  of  SUNY,  Plattsburgh,  and  has  a 
master's  from  the  School  of  Advanced  International 
Studies,  Johns  Hopkins  University.  After  working  for 
the  Department  of  Agriculture  in  Washington,  he  is 
now  a  third  year  medical  student  at  Georgetown  School 
of  Medicine.  God  bless  his  wife  Kathy!  They  have  four 
children,  Sarah,  Anna,  Michael  and  Margaret.  Lisa  is  a 
graduate  of  the  S.I.  Newhouse  School  of  Journalism, 
Syracuse,  and  lives  in  Salem,  NY,  with  husband,  Jack 
Murphy,  and  daughter.  Shannon  Bernadette.  Christopher, 
a  West  Point  graduate,  and  now  a  Captain  in  the  army, 
is  stationed  at  Ft.  Lewis,  WA,  but  will  leave  this  summer 
for  the  Naval  Postgraduate  school  in  Monterey,  CA 
where  he  will  work  for  two  years  on  a  master's  in 
Operations  Research.  He,  his  wife,  Kim  and  Daphne 
and  Zachary  presently  live  in  Tacoma,  WA. 

Since  our  return  home  to  Peru  last  year,  I've  taught 
again  for  the  local  community  college  and  I  am  organist 
for  our  church.  We've  been  getting  our  house  back  in 
order,  having  had  three  different  sets  of  tenants  while  we 
were  gone.  We  recently  returned  from  a  visit  with  Chris 
and  his  family  in  Tacoma,  family  and  are  looking 
forward  to  a  summer  of  seeing  our  other  children  and 
grandchildren.  In  November,  we'll  be  going  to 
Medjugorje,  Yugolsavia,  with  other  members  of  our 
parish.  We're  truly  blest. 


A  Special  Order  Of  Business 


At  the  Ohio  Federation  of  Teachers  Convention  held  on 
March  23,  1984,  the  following  was  submitted  by  Delegate 
Dale  Pertcheck;  seconded  by  Delegate  Dal  Lawrence  and 
passed  by  unanimous  vote  of  the  convention: 

Brothers  and  Sisters: 

I  would  urge  this  convention  to  give  special 
recognition  to  someone  for  whom  this  is  probably 
the  last  O.F.T.  Convention,  as  a  delegate.  She  has 
been  a  teacher  for  20  years,  19  of  those  in  the  Toledo 
Public  Schools.  She  has  been  an  articulate,  fervent, 
irrepressible  advocate  for  all  of  those  who  are 
oppressed,  especially  our  oppressed  majority  - 
women.  She  understands  well  the  role  of  women  as 
victims  in  our  society.  To  those  who  believe  that  she 
has  been  too  abrasive  and  too  strident  about  women's 
issues,  I  say,  "Walk  a  mile  in  her  shoes." 

Personally,  as  you  have  witnessed  at  this  con- 
vention, we  have  often  disagreed.  I  remember  well 
riding  home  with  her  from  my  first  O.F.T.  Con- 
vention, and  arguing  about  my  position  in  the 
union  for  over  two  hours.  These  disagreements  have 


never  affected  our  friendship  or  mutual  admiration. 

She  leaves  us  not  because  she  enjoys  teaching  less. 
but,  in  her  own  words,  because  she  has  found 
something  that  she  enjoys  even  more. 

She  is  unique.  We  shall  never  see  another  like  her 
again.  Others,  in  this  room  and  elsewhere,  will  pick 
up  the  gauntlet,  but  they  will  be  in  the  same  position 
as  Thomas  Jefferson  was  when  he  became  the 
Ambassador  to  France  following  Benjamin  Franklin. 
Jefferson  said  that  it  was  a  lesson  in  humility.  When 
asked,  "Is  it  you,  sir,  who  replace  Dr.  Franklin?" 
Jefferson  would  answer,  "No  one  can  replace  Dr. 
Franklin,  I  am  merely  his  successor." 

I  would  close  by  being  so  presumptuous  as  to  add 
two  words  to  another  Jefferson  statement,  which 
best  sums  up  the  driving  spirit  of  the  person  I  ask 
this  convention  to  recognize.  "I  have  sworn  upon 
the  alter  of  God  eternal  hostility  against  all  tyranny 
over  the  minds  of  men,"  and  I  would  add  "and 
women."  Please  recognize  with  your  applause.  .  . 

VERONICA     MURPHY 


FOFt    JULIE* 

by  Veronica  Wazny  Murphy  '64 


You  lie  there  imploding  with  pain 

where  smoked  glass  holds  back  the  sun 

that  warms  me  here  on  my  sister's  mountain 

many  miles  north, 

and  we  are  still  connected. 

I  am  waiting  watch  with  you, 

my  friend,  asking  only 

what  do  you  want? 

So  long  as  you  choose  to  fight, 

here  is  my  strength  to  add  to  yours. 

Help  your  mother  lift  and  turn  you, 

you  say? 

My  arms  are  steel  and  my  hands  velvet. 

Look  through  your  scrapbook 

of  comforts  condensed  from  memories 

and  messages  from  friends? 

I  can  turn  the  pages  if  you're  tired. 

Listen  to  the  words  you  place  in  my  lap 

with  which  you  want  not  to  burden 

those  dearest  to  your  heart? 

Water  listens  well,  woman  of  humus. 


Hold  only  your  hand  and  not  turn  away 

when  you  are  ready  to  weep 

and  the  shards  of  glass  traveling  through  your 

veins  will  not  allow  you 

to  be  cradled  in  a  loving  embrace? 

I  can  give  you  that,  my  friend. 

I  am  a  great  coward 

in  this  earthsuit  of  mine, 

with  little  tolerance  for  physical  pain, 

and  have  been  better  at  confronting  issues 

than  people  in  this  my  span, 

but  I  am  well  acquainted  with  the  dark. 

These  great  silent  caverns 

you  explore 

do  not  frighten  me, 

and  I  will  wander  them  with  you 

as  far  and  deep  as  a  comrade  can  be 

permitted  to  come. 

Here  is  my  open  hand: 

trace  on  my  palm  what  you  want  next  of  me 

if  words  are  wearying  you  now. 


*  Julia  Lois  Spenser  Hess,  49,  died  of  cancer  on  October  17,  1988. 

Julie  was  a  consultation  partner  and  union  collegue  of  mine,  but  most  of  all  a  beloved  friend.

Forbidden  Fruit 

I  wonder  what  we'd  be  like, 
If  Eve  hadn't  been  so  nosy, 
I)  she  didn't  taste  the  apple 
So  deliciously  sweet  and  rosy. 

The  Good  Book  and  the  Parson 
Both  tell  us  that  we'd  be 
Much  stronger  to  fight  temptation 
And  all  kinds  of  deviltry. 

But  when  I  think  what  fun  it  is 
To  be  a  little  sinner 
I'm  rather  glad  Eve  disobeyed 
And  ate  that  fruitful  dinner. 

And  as  long  as  there's  an  Adam 
Who  likes  us  weak  and  failing 
I'll  keep  on  eating  apples 
To  make  me  more  appealing. 


Sallies 

Into 
Poetry 

by  Inez  Votta  '50 


Dare  to  Hope 

When  all  is  said  and  done,  my  friend, 

And  we've  laid  by  all  our  toys. 

When  we've  wept  the  tears  of  sorrows 

And  smiled  the  tears  of  joys; 

When  all  we've  loved  and  lived  for 

With  a  gust  goes  out  like  a  flame, 

Can  we  treat  the  end 

Without  flinching 

And  take  it  just  the  same 

As  we  took  the  gift 

Without  asking 

As  part  of  a  song  to  be  sung? 

When  the  Dark  Wing 

Finally  folds  us 

Can  we  say,  "It's  only  just  begun?" 


With 
The  New  Yorker 


When  I  matriculated  at  St.  Joseph's  I  chose  to  major  in 
French  and  minor  in  Political  Science  because  I  had  a  yen 
to  travel.  I  have  done  a  great  deal  of  traveling,  mostly  to 
Europe,  but  also  in  and  around  the  United  States  and  to 
Hawaii.  Travel  is  still  one  of  my  favorite  diversions. 

My  profession,  however,  is  that  of  a  Secretary.  For  the 
past  thirty-five  years  I  have  worked  as  an  Executive 
Secretary  at  the  New  Yorker  Magazine.  I  had  the  privilege 
of  working  for  one  of  the  founders,  Raoul  Fleischmann, 
whenever  his  secretary  was  on  vacation,  and  I  also  worked 
for  his  son,  Peter,  for  ten  years  when  he  was  chairman  of 
the  magazine.  During  my  years  with  The  New  Yorker,  I 
have  worked  for  two  chairmen,  four  presidents,  two 
advertising  directors  and  one  publisher.  In  1985,  when 
The  New  Yorker  was  bought  by  Advance  Publications,  I 
was  working  for  both  the  chairman  and  the  president  and 
was  certainly  in  the  middle  of  things!  Currently  I 
coordinate  the  advertising  small  space  program,  oversee 
order  fulfillment  for  a  new  merchandising  venture,  and 
supervise  our  gratis  advertising.  When  President  Steve 
Florio's  secretary  goes  on  vacation,  I  step  in  there.  It's 
never  dull. 

In  1965,  I  earned  a  master's  degree  in  History  of 
Education  at  New  York  University,  thinking  I  might  one 
day  return  to  work  with  foreign  students,  which  I  had  done 
for  two  years  in  the  early  '50's.  I  started  studies  for  a 
doctoral  degree  in  the  same  field,  but  found  the  pressures  of 
work  and  study  too  much,  so  abandoned  this  pursuit. 
However,  in  1980,  I  achieved  the  Certified  Professional 
Secretary  rating,  passing  exams  in  accounting,  business 
law,  office  technology,  office  administration,  economics 
and  management,  and  behaviour  science  in  business.  It 
was  challenging!  It  took  two  years  and  I'm  very  proud  of  it. 


Theresa  Duenzl  '50 

I  am  an  active  member  of  the  Long  Island  Chapter  of 
Professional  Secretaries  International.  We  work  hard  to 
encourage  professionalism  among  secretaries,  to  keep 
abreast  of  what's  going  on  in  our  profession.  And  we  have 
fun  doing  it,  too.  Last  July,  I  attended  the  International 
Convention  in  San  Antonio  - 1500  of  us  took  over  the  town 
and  had  a  great  time. 

Nine  years  ago,  after  living  in  Manhattan  all  my  life,  I 
moved  out  to  Bellmore,  Long  Island  to  be  with  my 
parents.  They  haven't  thrown  me  out  yet,  so  I  guess  I'm 
here  to  stay.  I  discovered  Long  Island  Gardening  and  Bird 
Watching.  I  like  the  latter  so  much  that  I  took  the  Bird 
Biology  course  offered  by  mail  by  Cornell's  Labortory  of 
Ornithology.  Needlepoint  keeps  me  occupied  during  the 
train  commute.  Twenty-three  months  of  commuting  went 
into  the  completion  of  the  Metropolitan  Museum's  petit 
point  kit  of  the  Unicorn  in  Captivity! 

My  four  years  in  the  drama  club  at  St.  Joe's  have  borne 
fruit,  too.  I  am  now  lectoring  regularly  at  St.  Barnabas 
Apostle  church  in  Bellmore.  I  do  love  getting  up  before  a 
crowd! 

I  keep  in  close  touch  with  Joyce  Hartey  Scavullo  '51  of 
Augusta,  Georgia,  and  enjoyed  a  visit  with  her  and 
Charles  when  they  were  on  Long  Island  this  summer.  I 
also  see  Alice  Bambrick  Fucigna  '50  and  the  family  of 
Eileen  Fitzgerald  Noone  '50. 

Next  year  I  hope  to  retire  and  am  fascinated  by  all  the 
possibilities  opening  before  me. 

Best  of  all,  I  became  a  great-aunt  for  the  first  time  in 
December.  After  playing  "Auntie  Mame"  to  thirteen 
nieces  and  nephews,  I  can't  wait  to  start  on  the  next 
generation.

CLASS  NOTES

1921 

We  received  a  note  from  Sr.  M.  Francis  Fllnn,  from  Marycove,  Hong  Kong, 
China  in  June  to  thank  us  for  the  Mass  offered  for  her  brother,  Msgr. 
Dermod  Flinn  who  died  on  May  22, 1 989,  "Tho'  I  miss  his  visits,  I  feei  nearer 
to  him  than  before;  I  know  that  he  is  interceding  for  us  with  our  Lord  and 
with  Our  Blessed  Mother,"  she  writes.  "China  is  in  crisis,  but  life  in  Hong 
Kong  is  about  normal  However,  there  have  been  fervent  prayer  groups 
and  peaceful  demonstrations  here.  Our  Cardinal  Wu  celebrated  Mass  for 
those  killed;  1 50  priests,  many  Sisters,  and  thousands  of  laity  were  present 
at  it  in  the  Hong  Kong  Stadium.  Do  beg  prayers  for  China!" 


1924 

August  31  st  was  a  happy  day  for  the  Class  of  '24.  On  that  summer  day  Rita 
Fearon  Bryan,  Teresa  Dolan  Janton,  Mildred  Hayes  Donohue.  Alice 
McGrane  Feeley,  Regina  Munz  Meyer  and  Mary  St.  John  Murphy  met  at 

Regina's  apartment  in  Forest  Hills.  Later,  all  enjoyed  luncheon  at  the  West 
Side  Tennis  Club  We  had  not  met  for  a  few  years  and  we  exchanged  a 
great  deal  of  family  news  including  children,  grandchildren  and  great 
grandchildren.  We  remembered  our  departed  members  and  Mary 
arranged  to  have  our  annual  memorial  mass  said  in  October.  Mary  has 
been  our  "globe  trotter"  this  year.  In  May  and  June,  she  visited  California 
and  Alaska,  She  found  Alaska  magnificent.  During  the  summer  she  went  to 
Maryland  and  later  visited  Ocean  Beach,  New  Jersey  Mary  was  the  only 
one  of  our  class  to  attend  the  October  1st  "Reflections"  at  the  college  this 
fall.  She  enjoyed  it  very  much.  Rita  is  looking  forward  to  a  family  reunion  at 
Christmas  time.  Father  Paul  and  George  Jr.  are  planning  a  visit  as  well  as 
Tom  and  Kathy  and  their  Katie  -  travelling  from  Ojai,  California.  Donald 
and  his  family  are  nearby  in  West  Palm  Beach,  so  they  will  have  a  very  good 
size  reunion.  Catherine  Shore,  one  of  Regina's  granddaughters  is  a 
member  of  a  nationwide  bicycle  club.  They  are  on  a  three  month  bicycle 
trip  from  New  York  to  the  west  coast  They  are  greeted  and  welcomed  at 
each  of  the  well-planned  stops.  In  October,  Gene  had  a  card  from  Kansas 
She  had  covered  1700  miles  and  had  1700  more  to  go,  but  enjoying  it 
immensely.  What  a  wonderful  way  for  young  people  to  see  America.  Tess 
announced  that  her  12th  great  grandchild,  Patrick  Raymond  Owens 
arrived  safely  on  October  12th.

Word  from  her  daughter,  Kathy  Thomas,  told  us  of  the  death  of  Gertrude 
Dilworth  Rossworn  last  fall  (89)  "St.  Joseph's  College  for  Women  was  a 
very  special  and  wonderful  time  in  my  mother's  life  which  lasted  for  her 
lifetime,  the  joy  of  which  was  distinctly  transferred  to  all  her  loved  ones," 
she  wrote.  Please  pray  for  her  and  for  Elsa  Harper  McAvoy  who  died  in  July 
1989.  Elsa  was  a  retired  teacher  at  Sacred  Heart  School  in  Hartsdaleand  is 
survived  by  three  sons,  Thomas,  James,  Alois,  and  a  daughter  Elsa 
McAvoy,  and  a  brother,  Walter  Harper,  as  well  as  10  grandchildren  and  six 
great-grandchildren.  Her  daughter  wrote:  "Please  know  that  mother  was 
forever  grateful  for  the  education  she  received  at  your  college.  I  have  her 
year  books  and  treasure  them  along  with  the  countless  stories  she  told  me 
of  the  'old  day's."  Agnes  Corry  Murtaugh  wrote  us  of  the  death,  on 
September  16,  1989,  "of  my  dear  friend  and  classmate"  Agnes  Hearns 
Bogan  Hooper.  Remember  her  and  all  our  departed  in  your  prayers  The 
year  1990  will  be  an  anniversary  year  for  us  -  our  sixty-fifth!  Let's  meet  at 
the  Spring  Luncheon  to  celebrate.  It  will  be  held  on  April  28,  1990,  at 
Terrace  on  the  Park,  in  Queens,  the  site  of  the  World's  Fair.

Joe  Rooney,  Kay  Kilgallen  s  husband  has  not  been  well  lately  and  we  hope 
and  pray  he  will  recover  soon.  When  I  spoke  to  Mary  Mlrabella,  our 
accomplished  musician,  she  said.  "Isn't  it  sad  today'"  She  was  referring  to 


the  death  of  Horowitz  Mary,  a  lover  of  great  music,  has  not  been  to  the 
opera  lately  but  enjoys  the  concerts  at  Avery  Fischer  Hall  in  Lincoln 
Center.  She  spent  Thanksgiving  with  a  brother  and  also  visited  a  nephew  in 
Kings  Park  Doris  Leary  has  returned  to  Madonna  House  after  her 
operation  and  is  feeling  well  again.  Eileen  Murray  Heaney  tells  of  her  four 
lovely  grandchildren:  young  Eileen  is  a  fashion  coordinator  for 
Bloomingdale's,  Chicago,  Carolyn,  a  graduate  of  Holy  Cross,  is  production 
manager  for  Lear  Magazine;  Megan  is  a  junior  at  Cornell;  Kate  is  in  Garden 
City  High  School.  Marltaand  Hal's  grandson.  John,  son  of  daughter  Pat,  is 
employed  in  Scott's  Valley,  CA,  three  miles  from  Santa  Cruz,  where  he 
experienced  the  devastation  of  the  earthquake,  driving  over  the  highways 
on  his  motorcycle.  Pat  is  teaching  in  Covenant  School  in  Trenton,  NJ. 
Marlta's  daughter,  Barbara,  has  four  children.  Doug  is  a  Sophomore  at 
Trenton  State  U;  Sean  is  a  freshman  at  Drew  University  in  Madison,  NJ; 
Julie  is  a  sophomore  at  Steinerl  HS  and  Ricky  is  a  7th  grader  at  Meynold 
Middle  School.  It  was  a  year  ago,  October  24th,  that  our  classmate  Agnes 
McShane  died.  She  was  one  of  eleven  children.  A  good  student,  she 
attended  St.  Joseph's  on  an  academic  scholarship.  After  graduation  she 
took  up  a  career  as  a  teacher  in  the  public  school  system,  but  continued 
her  education  in  the  evening,  earning  a  master's  degree  from  Fordham  and 
a  degree  in  law  from  Fordham  Law  School.  In  1943  Agnes  married  John 
Madden  and  twin  girls  were  born  in  1945  followed  by  another  girl  in  1947. 
Agnes  became  a  homemaker.  The  girls  grew  up  and  moved  upstate  and  to 
the  midwest  which  provided  the  parents  with  frequent  trips  to  visit  them 
and  their  families.  John  and  Agnes  retired  to  St.  James,  in  Suffolk  county 
where  they  lived  the  rest  of  their  lives.  The  Spring  Luncheon  will  be  on  April 
28,  1990,  at  Terrace  on  the  Park,  Queens,  a  lovely  place  to  meet  again.

1928 


Our  deepest  sympathy  is  extended  to  the  families  of  Elizabeth  Hebron 
Didie  whose  sudden  death  on  August  1st  was  a  shock  to  her  family  and 
friends,  and  Mary  Walsh  who  died  on  August  7th  after  a  long  illness.  We 
also  send  sincere  condolence  to  Mary  Murray  Kelly  whose  husband, 
Horace,  died  in  June.  Let  us  remember  all  of  them  in  our  prayers.  On  a 
happier  note,  Marie  Kelly  Smith  writes  that  September  marked  for  her.  a 
"moment  of  glory"  when  she  was  awarded  a  swimming  trophy  at  the 
Briarcliff  Manor  Club  for  having  completed  (over  a  period  of  six  months)  50 
miles  of  swimming  in  the  club  pool.  Congratulations!  Happy  news  from 
Emma  Bergen  from  St  Petersburg,  Fl.  is  that  she  has  a  full  recovery  from 
her  pneumonia  last  January.  She  has  become  active  in  the  St  Petersburg 
chapter  of  the  AAUW  of  which  she  is  the  only  St.  Joseph's  College  Alumna 
representative.  Emma  recently  met  Miriam  Crofton  '36  who  was  visiting  her 
sister-in-law,  Terry  Mangiardi  Crofton  '38  in  St.  Petersburg.  The  contact 
gave  Emma  a  yen  to  visit  St.  Joseph's  soon.  Regina  Peppard  Fltzpatrick 
and  Jack  vacationed  at  their  summer  home  in  Smithtown.  LI.  They  enjoyed 
touring  the  island  and  rediscovering  their  favorite  restaurants.  Dorothy 
Thompson  Rossini  is  content  to  call  a  halt  to  travelling.  Instead,  she  and 
Fred  are  happy  to  be  in  Florida,  basking  in  the  limelight  of  Fred's  three 


grandchildren  Jon  graduated  from  the  Marist  School.  Atlanta,  GA  in  May 
He  was  the  school's  first  Presidential  Scholar  and  recipient  of  a  National 
Merit  Scholarship  which  he  will  use  to  attend  the  Cincinnati  Conservatory 
of  Music.  His  brother.  Anthony,  is  a  graduate  of  Rice  University,  and  is 
lecturing  on  Computer  Science  in  Bonn,  West  Germany.  Anthony  is  21 
years  old.  Grandaughter,  Laura,  is  a  ballerina  with  a  New  York  ballet 
company.  Agnes  Kelly  Bryan  and  John  do  like  to  travel.  This  summer  they 
toured  Vermont  where  they  visited,  among  other  points  of  interest,  the 
home  of  Abraham  Lincoln's  son,  Robert  They  were  impressed  by  its  rich 
beauty  and  ambience.  The  Bryans  are  also  enjoying  the  success  of  their 
grandchildren.  One  graduated  from  Berkeley  in  June  with  a  degree  in 
Chemical  Engineering;  another  from  Villanova,  and  a  second  Villanova 
graduate  is  now  employed  there  as  Program  Director.  However,  the 
Bryans'  chief  interest  is  the  Apostolate  of  the  Sick  to  which  they  have 
dedicated  many  years  of  person  service  Helen  Callahan  Brink  has 
recovered  from  her  recent  illness  and  is  living  with  her  son.  John  and 
family,  in  Westport,  Connecticut.  Her  grandson,  John,  was  married  in  April 
and  lives  in  Washington,  DC  where  he  is  Subscription  Manager  for  U.S. 
News  and  World  Report.  Agnes  Comerford  still  lives  in  the  Bronx  and  is  a 
member  of  the  community  which  services  St.  Joseph's  School  for  the  Deaf. 
She  spent  part  of  the  summer  at  the  community's  home  in  Mount  Holyoke 
but  is  now  back  at  the  school  where  she  is  recuperating  from  a  broken  hip. 
Mary  Kelly  Lawler  might  also  be  added  to  the  list  of  those  "recuperating" 
Mary  had  started  on  her  journey  to  the  North  Cape  with  her  long  time  travel 
companion.  They  flew  as  far  as  Copenhagen  and  had  transferred  to  their 
cruise  ship,  when  a  sudden  heart  attack  claimed  the  life  of  her  companion. 
Mary  had  to  disembark,  arrange  for  the  return  of  the  body  to  the  United 
States,  meet  with  Department  of  State  officials  from  the  U.S.  and  Sweden, 
and  then  fly  back  to  the  United  States  with  all  the  baggage,  the  distress  of 
having  lost  a  friend,  and  the  disappointment  of  having  sacrificed  a  long 
awaited  cruise.  Settled  back  in  the  States  another  shock  awaited  Mary. 
This  one  came  from  San  Francisco.  Five  members  of  Mary's  family  were  to 
take  part  in  a  conference  of  Engineers  in  San  Francisco  on  October  17. 
They  arranged  to  meet  at  the  St.  Francis  Hotel  at  5:00  P.M..  One  of  her 
grandchildren  who  is  at  Berkely,  drove  across  the  now  famous  bridge  and 
arrived  ten  minutes  early,  at  the  hotel  Mary  was  home  watching  TV. 
Happily  all  the  Lawlers  recovered  in  time  to  welcome  Mary's  thirteenth 
great-grand-child  Jeannette  Farrell  Amery  was  spared  Nature's  fury  this 
summer  when  Hugo  decided  to  land  on  somebody  else's  beach  However, 
she  and  all  her  neighbors  battened  down  the  hatches,  boarded  the 
windows  and  doors  of  their  cottages,  and  took  all  other  precautions  "just  in 
case."  The  only  calamity  of  Jeannette's  summer  was  a  mishap  to  her 
grandson,  Ted.  While  helping  some  friends  to  lift  a  car,  it  fell  on  him 
causing  serious  injury  to  his  leg.  Fortunately,  it  was  not  necessary  to 
amputate  and  he  was  able  to  return  to  college  in  a  hip-to-ankle  cast  and 
crutches  for  support.  He  has  now  been  divested  of  both,  and  visits  to  a 
physical  therapist  three  times  a  week  promise  to  make  him  whole  again. 
Otherwise  her  summer  was  pleasant  and  peaceful  and  her  return  to 
Brooklyn  was  somewhat  auspicious  Recently.  Jennette  completed  her 
fifth  afghan,  one  for  each  of  her  grandchildren.  To  make  another  for  herself 
seemed  too  much.  Then  came  an  omen  that  her  winter  evenings  would  be 
most  comfortable  with  the  news  that  she  had  won  a  beautiful,  hand-made 
afghan  in  a  church  raffle.  A  pleasant  telephone  conversation  with  Elinor 
Woods  Paul  indicated  that  she  was  in  good  spirits  in  spite  of  her  injured 
shoulder.  She,  too,  is  in  the  hands  of  a  physical  therapist  and  is  able  to 
return  to  her  parish  work.  Her  daughter,  Bernadette,  is  a  busy  photogra- 
pher, concentrating  on  the  work  of  ballet  artists.  Messages  from  members

On  our  Fiftieth  Anniversary,  we  saw  Lillian  Kraus  Comeau  for  the  first  time 
since  college  days.  In  October,  her  daughter  wrote  us  to  say  that  she  died 
on  September  26th  and  was  buried  from  St  James  RC  Church  in  Milton, 
New  York,  where  she  lived.  Please  remember  her  and  her  family  in  your 
prayers.

last  few  get-togethers,  and  we  appreciate  that  she  had  to  leave  Lakewood 
before  7:30  AM  to  make  it  to  Rockville  Center  for  lunch.  We  have  been  in 
contact  with  Sarah  Crowley,  Mary  Dalton  Oberle,  Ruth  Hagen  Pette, 
Kathleen  Mulrooney  McDermott,  Marlon  Toshack,  Terri  Schrelber  Kelly 
and  Kay  Wheeler  Smith.  None  were  able  to  join  us.  Some  sent  news,  others 
promised  news  later.  Kay  Smith  spent  the  last  few  months  coping  with

Our  annual  Mass  for  deceased  members  was  an  occasion  for  loving 
thoughts  and  fond  memories  My  home  was  blessed  by  the  liturgy, 
celebrated  by  my  son,  Father  Keith  Fennessy,  who  has  come  to  know  and 
love  my  classmates.  His  homily  reinforced  our  sentiments  that  old  friends 
are  precious  treasures  We  then  enjoyed  luncheon  at  Bruxelles.  a  charming 
village  restaurant  just  a  few  feet  from  my  apartment  At  the  reunion  were 
Edna  Dawkins  McDonald,  Marie  Furey  Boyce,  Kathenne  Kelly  Carlin, 
Anne  McCormack  Fennessy,  Irene  Parker  Parks,  Claire  Smith.  Mary 
Whelan  Phelan,  Mary  White  Kearney  and  Marie  Berry,  our  honorary 
member  Last  minute  complications  prevented  Helen  Coughlan  Worthley.

Frances  Dleckert  Rebele,  though  back  in  the  swim  again,  was  not  quite  up 
to  a  trip  to  Manhattan.  Marge  Kenny  was  on  a  well-deserved  vacation.  She 
has  been  extremely  active  in  volunteer  work  for  over  thirty  years  Gertrude 
Unser  was  off  to  Europe  for  an  extended  tour  and  Madeline  Kendall  Friel 
wished  she  could  bilocate!  We  were  saddened  to  hear,  belatedly,  of  the 
death  last  February  of  ebullient  Mildred  Martin  Donnelly.  Her  son  said  how 
she  clung  to  her  joyful  philosophy  and  was  happy  for  all  the  blessings  of 
her  life  We  will  remember  her  that  way.  Another  piece  of  sad  news  was  the 
illness  of  Anne  Burns  Meehan.  She  was  a  "regular",  adding  her  delightful 
charm  to  our  reunions.  Please  remember  them  all  in  your  prayers  Kay

Ansbro  Wurts,  of  Florida,  had  her  travelling  curtailed  this  year  because  of 
her  husband's  surgery.  He  is  doing  well  Christine  Barton,  Kay  Frey  Lynch 
and  Winifred  McMahon  sent  their  best  wishes  to  all.  Members  of  the  family 
from  all  over  the  United  States,  including  Hawaii  came  to  celebrate  the 
50th  wedding  anniversary  of  Charlie  and  Marge  Oliver  Kaiser  last  April.  I 
would  be  happy  to  hear  from  other  members  of  our  class  who  seem  to  have 
lost  touch.  Everyone  is  still  remembered  with  affection.  Please  let  me  know 
how  you  are.  A  telephone  call  or  a  little  note  would  add  cheer  to  my  life.  Kay 
Kelly  Carlln  whom  we  all  remember  for  her  lovely  soprano  voice  that  added 
much  beauty  to  our  Mass,  was  inspired  to  write  a  poem  for  our  reunion.  We 
share  it  with  all  of  you. 

MEMORIES 
My  memories  pursue  each  other 

through  the  meadows  of  my  mind. 
They  stand  in  silhouette 

against  the  years. 
They  come  in  laughter,  and  chagrin. 

and  often  tears. 

And  pierce  the  inner  places  of  my  heart.

Bobbie  Owens  Miller  spent  several  weekends  at  her  son's  summer  home 
on  Peconic  Bay  in  Jamesport  and  also  enjoyed  three  days  at  Mauritius 
Manor  with  Tee  Birds  Golf  Club.  She  attended  the  New  York  State 
Convention  of  the  Columbiettes  at  Stevensville.  In  June  she  visited  a  friend 
on  Lake  Pleasant  in  Speculator  and  in  late  August  attended  another 
Columbiettes  Convention  in  Saddlebrook,  NY.  September's  trip  was  to  the 
Shrine  of  Our  Lady  of  the  Isle  at  Eastpoint.  Again  with  the  Columbiettes, 
Bobbie  visited  Montreal,  Ottowa,  Toronto,  and  Niagara  Falls.  Once  a 
month  she  is  lector  at  St.  James  Church.  Seaford.  Evelyn  Harris  Martin  and 
her  daughter  visited  the  Bahamas  early  in  '89  and  came  home  to  a  snow- 
buried  car.  Our  lunch  gathering  on  October  23rd  brought  a  good  crowd:

Rita  Doherty  (Sr  Eucharla)  is  in  Monrovia,  CA  again.  The  house  in 
Terryville,  Connecticut  closed,  and  so  after  three  weeks  at  Maryknoll,  she 
flew  out  to  Monrovia.  It's  a  beautiful  spot  in  the  foothills  of  the  San  Gabriel 
Mountains.  She  and  the  other  sisters  watched  as  firemen  raced  in  with 
engines  and  others  fought  the  forest  fires  from  helicopters.  Rita  is  awaiting 
an  eye  exam  for  cataracts.  Incidentally,  the  Thomas  A.  Doherty  whom  the 
college  honored  as  the  Distinguished  Citizen  at  the  October  Dinner  Dance 
is  Rita's  nephew.  Catherine  Cooke  is  in  a  nursing  home  in  New  Jersey.  Her 
brother-in-law.  Jerry  Shea,  is  going  to  follow  her  as  soon  as  he  sells  the 
house,  and  will  live  in  a  residence  nearby.  I've  also  gathered  news  about  Sr. 
James  Cecelia  (Mary  Cullen).  She  and  Sr.  Clare  Imelda  (Helen  Ruane) 
formed  part  of  the  Guard  of  Honor  for  Anne  Connelly  Burns'  sister,  Sr. 
David  Xavier,  who  died  this  year.  Anne  was  in  the  hospital,  so  our  two 
classmates  attended  the  Mass,  in  addition  to  Anne's  sister,  Agnes  Connelly 
Huether  '41  and  family.  In  Brentwood,  both  Helen  (Sr.  Clare)  and  Mary  (Sr. 
James)  are  renewing  friendship  with  Josephine  Ford  Scanlon  33  Rita 
pollack  Murphy  33,  Frances  McGovern  Delany  34  and  Virginia  Hagan  39 
Muriel  Hottenroth  Magenhelmer  has  completed  25  years  of  teaching  at  St. 
Patrick's  in  Glen  Cove.  Marie  Lilly  is  going  out  to  California— the  San 
Francisco  area— for  Christmas  and  New  Year's  Day  to  celebrate  with  her 
family.  Eucharla  Mulligan  has  been  traveling  in  New  England,  and  Glna 
Latoracca  and  her  sister,  Mary,  travelled  through  New  England  and 
Canada  this  summer.  We  received  a  note  from  Colonel  Thomas  F.  Lancer, 
who  enclosed  a  check  in  memory  of  the  first  anniversary  of  the  death  of 
Kathleen  Flynn  Murphy.  Kay  was  the  wife  of  an  old  friend  of  his.  J.J. 
Meade,  husband  of  Dorothy  Kilcoln  Meade,  informed  us  of  her  death  on 
July  14th,  from  a  heart  attack  and  asked  for  remembrance  in  your  prayers. 
At  the  same  time,  let  us  remember  all  our  deceased  members.

Last  June  30th,  Catherine  Wills  died  at  Cabrini  Medical  Center  after  a  brief 
illness.  She  was  a  former  supervisor  in  the  Foster  Care  Program  of  the 
Catholic  Home  Bureau  in  New  York.  We  also  learned  very  recently  of  the 
death  of  Genevieve  Kelly  Plckel  last  July.  We  extend  our  deep  sympathy  to 
Ceal  Finn  Fahy  on  the  death  of  her  husband,  Edward.  A  retired  rear 
admiral,  he  served  as  a  submarine  officer  in  World  War  II  and  was  Chief  of 
the  Navy's  Bureau  of  Ships.  Ceal  who  lives  in  Floria  may  move  to  the 
Virginia  area  where  her  three  daughters  live.  Please  remember  all  the 
deceased  and  their  families  in  your  prayers.  Dot  Tobln  Forget  visits  her 
daughter  in  San  Diego  a  couple  of  times  a  year.  Dot  has  ten  grandchildren. 
Two  are  college  graduates  and  another  two  are  in  college.  Brian  went  to 
the  University  of  Virginia  and  is  an  architect  in  NYC;  Maureen,  from 
Indiana  University,  is  a  flight  attendant  for  United  Air  Lines  and  is  stationed 
in  New  York.  Kevin  is  a  Junior  at  Villanova  and  Sean  a  freshman  in  Loyola, 
Baltimore.  Before  she  went  back  to  Florida,  Anne  Hennessy  O'Rourke 
phoned  the  office.  She  mentioned  that  Monsignor  Fitzgibbon  was  in  very 
poor  health  Keep  him  in  your  prayers.  Rod  and  Jane  McLoughlln 
O'Connor  were  out  in  the  Los  Angeles  area  visiting  daughter  Barbara  and 
enjoying  the  beach  with  her  two  little  girls,  Mary  and  Jane.  From  there  they 
went  to  Denver  to  visit  daughter  Christine  and  David  and  their  family, 
particularly  their  1V4  year  old  grandson,  Benjamin.  They  enjoyed  the 
beautiful,  breathtaking  scenery  of  the  mountains,  and  the  vibrant  air.  They 
also  visited  the  renowned  Air  Force  Academy  in  Colorado  Springs.  Last 
March,  Jane  accepted  a  proclamation  from  Queens  Borough  President 
Claire  Shulman,  noting  the  observance  of  the  American  Association  of 
University  Women  Week.  Jane  is  president  of  the  Queens  Branch.  Anne 
Seltz  Smith's  nephew,  Steve  Smith,  has  just  been  transferred  to  Denver 
and  Ed  and  she  are  looking  forward  to  flying  to  that  part  of  the  country  very 
soon.  Florence  Kemp  Carberry's  sons,  John  and  Frank,  are  both  in  the 
Boston  area  and  manage  to  have  lunch  frequently.  This  is  quite  a  change 
for  John— from  Atlanta  to  the  Northeast.  Grace  Flannery  Morris'  daughter, 
Beth,  now  teaches  in  Delaware  but  is  contemplating  a  return  to  our  town. 
Beth  teaches  first  grade  and  loves  the  little  ones.  I  had  a  great  chat  with 
Virginia  Conran  Cheasty  who  sounds  as  vibrant  and  perky  as  ever;  she  and 
Si,  who  is  practicing  law  in  Stamford,  tell  me  that  their  daughter  Ginny  is 
teaching  up  there.  Jack  has  been  sent  by  the  Army  to  get  a  Master's  in 
Environmental  Science.  Robert  is  a  lawyer,  married  to  a  lawyer  and  living 
in  Oakland,  CA,  and  daughter.  Mary,  lives  in  New  York.  She  also  is  a 
lawyer,  married  to  a  lawyer,  Peter,  whom  she  met  while  attending 
Columbia  Law  School  Mary  Ellz  McL.  Farrell  and  I  upheld  the  honor  of 
1 935  by  attending  the  lovely  Alumnae  Fall  luncheon  at  the  New  York  Yacht 
Club  We  enjoyed  the  company  of  Betty  Pyne  Dunleavy  '36  and  Sister  Alice 
Francis  Young  '40  who  is  a  very  dear  pal  of  mine  from  way  back  in  high 
school  days  Marlon  Musante  had  a  busy  fall— went  canoeing  on  the  Erie 
Canal,  tripped  to  Chicago,  attended  the  50th  anniversary  of  her  very  first 
class  of  students  and  generally  had  a  great  time.  Anne  Scannell  Smith,  who 
had  been  living  in  Virginia,  was  in  New  York  for  a  couple  of  weeks  to  close 
up  and  sell  her  New  York  residence.  She  is  moving  to  West  Palm  Beach, 
Florida  and  is  looking  forward  to  it.  We  just  received  a  short  note  from  Leo 
Callahan  telling  us  of  the  death  of  his  sister  Dlda  (Margaret)  Callahan  on 
November  11th.  We  all  remember  her  as  the  most  valuable  basketball 
player  -  though  short  by  today's  players,  Dida  could  maneuver  and  run 
faster  than  anyone  on  the  team.  Pretty  as  a  picture,  Dida,  had  a  great  sense 
of  humor  and  added  much  to  our  college  days.  Do  hope  that  more  of  you 
will  meet  at  the  Spring  Luncheon  next  April  28th  at  Terrace  on  the  Park, 
Flushing.  This  will  be  another  milestone  for  us— our  fifty-fifth  anniversary. 
Let's  renew  the  joy  we  felt  at  our  golden  reunion.  Make  plans  now  for  April 
28th!  We  still  have  four  classmates  on  our  lost  list:  Jeanette  Griffin 
McMurray,  Genevieve  Naughton  Dumbille,  Helen  O'Connor  and  Rita 
Shevlin.  Does  anyone  have  an  idea  of  their  locales?

Very  little  news  from  the  class  of  '36!  Just  Dot  Delay,  Isabel  Farrell,  Betty 
Pyne  Dunleavy  and  her  granddaughter,  Meghan  O'Brien,  attended  the  Fall 
luncheon  at  the  New  York  Yacht  Club.  You  missed  a  delightful  affair.  The 


building  is  beautiful  and  the  food  was  outstanding.  Do  hope  that  more  of 
you  will  join  us  at  the  Spring  Luncheon  which  will  be  held  on  April  28th  at 
Terrace  on  the  Park  (the  old  World's  Fair  Ground).  You'll  hear  more  of  this 
after  the  first  of  the  year,  but  mark  your  calendar  now.  Betty  was  given  a 
wonderful  surprise  party  on  her  75th  birthday  at  Ye  Olde  Fire  House  in 
Point  Lookout,  by  her  daughter,  Nancy  and  her  six  grandchildren.  What  a 
surprise  to  see  Isabel  Farrell,  Dot  Delay,  Alice  Hagan  FInnerty  and  Jack, 
Edna  Brennan  Maloney  and  her  sister-in-law,  Rita  Brennan.  Former  co- 
workers, club  members,  old  neighbors,  relatives  and  friends  were  all  there, 
Now  looking  forward  to  my  80th!  Don't  forget— drop  us  a  line  now  and 
then.

Gen  Sullivan  Costello,  though  still  having  problems  resulting  from  a 
broken  hip,  says  she  has  acquired  a  serenity  she  did  not  have  before;  she 
has  learned  not  to  worry  in  advance!  Her  oldest  daughter  is  attending  law 
school,  as  her  own  daughter  graduates  from  college.  Gen  is  pleased  with  a 
new  grandchild,  a  girl.  Betty  Humann  Thleme  has  been  attending  medical

stopped  in  Navadato  to  visit  a  new  granddaughter  whom  they  hadn't  seen 
yet.  Their  son  Richard  and  family  are  still  in  Singapore  but  his  daughter 
attends  college  at  Mt.  St.  Vincent's.  Betty  is  still  active  in  the  Catholic 
Daughters  of  Boston,  and  Ed  in  the  Right  to  Life  Movement.  John  and

salesperson  at  her  church.  She  has  been  in  touch  with  Marlon  Harrington 
and  later  Rita  B|ornson  Grlflin,  meeting  them  for  lunch.  Frank  and  Mary

Nlcolaus)  in  September.  She  died  in  the  motherhouse  in  Oyster  Bay  and  is 
buried  there.  Pray  for  her  as  I  am  sure  she  prays  for  us.  Helen  Dolan,  after 
two  months  in  Mercy  Hospital,  three  months  in  Russ  Institute  and  a  short 
stay  in  Franklin  General  is  now  undergoing  physiotherapy  and  is  on  the 
road  to  recovery.  She  is  home,  and  we  feel  she  is  qualified  for  a  new 
career— a  hospital  evaluator  Rita  McGovern  Root  has  had  a  successful 


shoulder  replacement  Fran  McLoughlln  Rellly  really  keeps  on  the  go  Her 
daughter  Peggy  Roehrig  '71  after  spending  a  year  with  her  family  in  Key 
West  is  now  back  in  Vermont.  Peggy  and  Fred,  with  Danny  and  Tess  ages  6 
and  3.  sailed  up  from  Florida  last  summer  on  their  40  foot  boat,  to  Long 
Island.  Fran  visits  her  children  often,  Mary  and  Kevin  Matthews  and  Nora

gathering  these  notes.  Dot  Allen  Murphy  just  welcomed  her  1 1th  grandchild 
Helen  Regan  McLaughlin  and  Neil  came  through  the  earthquake  safely  in 
October.  When  reached  by  phone,  she  was  shoveling  out  her  broken 
china.  They  had  damage  to  their  foundation  and  chimney,  but,  says  Helen, 
"We're  alive"  Bill  and  Peggy  Magee  Buckley  will  spend  Christmas  with 
Cate  and  family.  Noah  is  5  and  the  twins,  Emma  and  Ben.  will  be  a  year  old 
on  December  21  st  Then  in  February  they'll  be  off  to  Barbados.  Just  as  we 
were  compiling  our  news,  we  learned  the  sad  news  of  the  death  of  Winnie

Last  summer  Ursula  Gerty  took  a  cruise  to  Alaska.  In  June,  Mary  Etzel 
McLaughlin  started  with  a  trip  to  the  Norfolk  Harbortest,  then  in  July  to  the 
state  of  Washington,  viewing  the  Cascades,  visiting  Victoria  and  Vancouver. 
In  August  it  was  to  Cape  Cod  for  a  week  with  the  family  and  in  September 
to  the  Catskills  for  five  days.  Mary  is  active  at  her  club  house  and  goes  on 
day  trips,  to  dinner  theatres,  etc.  Her  mother  celebrated  her  90th  birthday 
last  February  at  a  big  party— she's  still  going  strong.  Isabella  Knight  Foster 
attended  the  Gold  Star  Wives  Convention  in  Philadelphia,  in  July,  then 
went  to  Valley  Forge,  Atlantic  City,  but  never  got  to  the  Amish  country  on 
the  third  day  With  an  injured  ankle,  she  left  the  group,  requested  a 
wheelchair  at  each  airport  and  spent  the  rest  of  July  and  part  of  August  at 
home  in  Palm  Coast  recuperating.  By  September  it  was  "pretty  good." 
Isabella  asks.  "Do  you  think  that  Doris,  and  Lillian  and  Agatha  will  come 
down  for  the  day?"  The  DAY  is  April  28th,  1990  and  perhaps  April  29th  with

with  us  for  our  45th  reunion.  Also  present  at  that  time  was  Reglna  Carroll 
Graves,  who  died  in  December  1988.  She  and  Norman  travelled  widely  due 
to  his  position  in  the  service,  but  she  always  kept  in  touch.  You  may  recall 
that  she  was  president  of  the  Glee  Club  and  a  member  of  the  Senior

Peggy  McDerby  Shea  was  happy  to  attend  the  Fall  Luncheon— a  great 
afternoon  and  the  food  was  delicious.  She  enjoyed  the  company  of  Grace 
Cooling  who  has  settled  in  East  Rockaway.  Grace  retired  from  an 
interesting,  varied  business  career  which  came  to  an  end  in  Atlanta. 
Georgia.  While  there  she  was  in  frequent  contact  with  the  sons  of  Isha 
Murphy  Klefer.  Ann  Hennessy  had  to  cancel  her  luncheon  reservation  due 
to  her  sister's  illness.  Keep  in  mind  that  the  Spring  Luncheon  of  '91  will 
mark  our  50th.  Even  if  it  is  your  first  time  back,  please  plan  on  making  that 
event  a  BIG  one  and  memorable  Tempus  fugit!  Called  Mary  Stankevlch 
Bolen  whose  arthritis  of  the  spine  has  slowed  her  activity  and  made  a  cane 
necessary.  True  to  her  humorous  self,  MM  says,  "No  more  break-dancing 
for  me!"  Her  son  Bill  and  daughter  Amy  and  her  husband  live  in  New 
Jersey.  Daughter  and  Mary  keep  the  home  fires  burning.  Claudia  received 
her  degree  from  St.  John's  U  and  works  in  the  medical  field.  Marge 
Andresen  Breedis  enjoys  her  eleven  grandchildren  (the  latest  were  twins 
born  to  Liz).  The  eldest  is  eight!  Terry  Gough  de  Tar  was  indispensable 
during  a  visit  to  son  John  and  Sue  in  West  Hurley,  NY.  The  couple  had  their 
first  child  after  seventeen  years  of  marriage.  Within  a  short  time.  Sue  gave 
birth  to  twins!  Belte  Whalen  Bonsall  was  honored  last  June  at  a  party  given 
by  faculty  and  students  of  St.  Mary's,  Manhasset  to  mark  her  thirty-two 
years  of  teaching  there.  In  September.  Bette  returned  to  her  post  Agnes 
Connelly  Huether's  sister,  Sister  David  Xavier,  CSJ,  died  in  September 
Mass  and  burial  were  in  Brentwood  Mary  Leahy  Cleary  enjoyed  a  visit 
from  Adele  Mulligan  Seymour.  Mary  continues  to  give  piano  lessons  to 
seven  very  talented  youngsters,  one  of  whom  won  first  prize  in  a 
Pennsylvania  competition  last  year.  Mary  McDonough  Welsnet  and  Bill 
just  settled  into  their  oceanfront  rental  in  Myrtle  Beach  when  Hugo 
dispossesed  them  in  a  hurry.  The  motel  to  which  they  retreated  miles 
inland  had  no  electricity  so  they  were  literally  in  the  dark  for  many  hours  I 
guess  we  should  all  have  battery  operated  radios  with  us  when  travelling. 
Travelling  north  to  Long  Island  just  before  Labor  Day  when  Gerald  was 
discharged  by  the  cardiologist,  we  visited  Grace  Lynch  Perrott  and  Bill  in 
Virginia  Beach.  They  gave  us  an  interesting  tour  of  the  area  including  the 
Naval  Air  Station.  Both  of  them  are  excellent  bridge  players  and  have 
joined  bridge  groups.  Mary,  their  daughter,  recently  moved  to  New 
Hampshire  from  Long  Island.  Son,  Bill  and  family  live  in  Dallas  After 
leaving  the  Perrotts  we  drove  leisurely  up  the  Eastern  Shore  of  Maryland 
and  met  our  daughter  Mary  Ellen  and  family  for  a  week  at  a  condo  on  the 
ocean  at  Ocean  City,  MD.  I  was  impressed  by  the  vitality  of  the  congregation 
of  St.  Luke's  Catholic  Church  nearby.  I  wish  to  thank  all  of  you  who  called 
or  sent  cards  to  Gerald  following  his  open  heart  surgery.  I  was  truly 
warmed  by  the  concern  and  the  tendering  of  prayers  which  even  his 
surgeon  credited  for  Gerald's  recovery

Elisa  Carrillo  was  in  China  on  a  Travel/Study  tour  at  the  time  of  the  Beijing

Eileen  Mullen  was  in  contact  with  Barbara  Cooke  Nash,  who  lives  in  Silver 
Spring,  MD.  She  and  Jack  have  four  children:  a  daughter  and  three  sons, 
the  youngest,  Pete,  is  in  his  junior  year  and  an  engineering  major.  With  Five 
grandchildren,  Barbara  is  exulting  in  grandparenting  -  says  it  far  outshines 
her  master's  from  Catholic  U  and  her  love  of  computers.  Had  a  chance  to 
talk  with  Margery  Robblns  Glfford  who  teaches  senior  English  classes, 
including  Advanced  Placement  English  for  the  Gifted  and  Talented.  Since 
1985  Margery  has  hosted  a  Christmas  party  for  former  students,  many  of 
whom  attend  Harvard,  Yale,  William  and  Mary  or  the  University  of  Virginia. 
Margie  and  Larry  also  have  their  own  college  graduates:  Kieran,  nowCPA; 
Regina,  a  Smith  grad  on  her  way  to  Chicago  to  undertake  a  new  position: 
and  Mary  Elaine,  a  May  '89  Bryn  Mawr  grad  and  a  summer  bride.  This 
summer,  probably  the  last  weekend  of  June,  Margie  proposes  that  English 
majors  or  minors  -  and  anyone  else  who  would  like  to  join  -  meet  at  the 
Brooklyn  Campus  for  lunch.  If  you're  interested,  give  Margie  a  call.  Related 
to  this,  I  will  send  a  list  of  class  members'  addresses  and  phone  numbers. 
Had  a  wonderful  letter  from  Joan  Bambach  McCann  who  is  now  doing 
substitute  math  teaching  and  taking  graduate  coursework  in  math.  John 
works  for  AT&T  in  telecommunications  and  spends  several  days  each 
month  in  Washington.  Elizabeth,  their  oldest  is  finishing  her  senior  year  at 
William  and  Mary,  while  Jim.  18,  began  at  Rutgers  this  past  fall.  Their  three 
other  children  are  still  at  home.  Keep  the  good  news  coming  so  that  I  can 
pass  it  on.  Oops,  I  almost  forgot!  Next  year  is  a  big  one  for  us.  It's  our 
thirtieth  anniversary  -  a  great  reason  to  meet  together  and  celebrate.  We 
will  be  especially  honored  at  the  Spring  Luncheon  on  April  28, 1990  which 
will  be  held  at  Terrace  on  the  Park  in  Queens.  You'll  be  hearing  more  about 
it  but  meantime,  mark  your  1990  calendar  and  call  some  of  your  friends  - 
start  planning.  .  .  If  you  know  where  any  of  our  "lost"  are  (listed  below) 
phone  or  write  to  the  alumni  office.

in  Corry.  PA  where  Claudia  has  begun  her  15th  year  as  a  nursery  school 
teacher.  Their  oldest  daughter,  Deidre,  was  married  in  June  and  lives  in 
Fairfax.  VA.  Jennifer  graduated  from  Mercyhurst  College  in  May  with  a  BA 
in  Communications.  At  present  she  works  for  her  aunt  at  Cuisine,  Cuisine, 
a  successful  food  catering  business  in  Manhasset.  She  plans  to  work  for  a 
year  and  then  live  in  Europe.  The  Montanis  hope  to  be  in  New  York  around 
Christmas  time  for  a  get-together  with  Tony's  friends  from  Fordham.  I 
spent  an  afternoon  with  Rosemary  McDonald  Ahern,  Jeanne  Funke 
O'Brien  and  Noreen  Doherty  Rosemary  is  enjoying  her  first  grandchild 
and  looking  forward  to  a  second  one  soon.  Jeanne  enjoys  her  career  in  the 
travel  business.  Noreen  continues  to  be  a  sailing  enthusiast  spending  most 
weekends  on  the  water  Joan  Corcoran  Fordham's  son.  Jim,  is  a  junior  at 
Marquette  University  He  spent  last  summer  studying  French  at  the 
University  of  Limoges  Karen  entered  St.  Mary's  College  in  Indiana  and 
Brian  (15)  is  a  high  school  student  My  (Mary  Collins  Macchlarola)  son 
Joseph  started  Notre  Dame  in  September.  On  learning  that  Joan  would  be 
in  South  Bend  the  same  weekend,  we  arranged  to  meet  there  and  had  a 
wonderful  time.  I  was  delighted  to  meet  Joan's  husband,  Jim.  Summer  was 
hectic  for  the  Macchiarolas.  Frank  campaigned  for  public  office.  Family 
life  was  on  hold  and  perpetual  motion  was  the  order  of  the  day.  Though 
losing  was  hard,  the  experience  of  a  political  campaign  was  invaluable, 
especially  for  our  two  sons  who  were  active  campaign  workers  all  summer. 
Michael,  a  senior  at  Regis,  is  searching  out  suitable  colleges.  Frank,  an  8th 
grader  is  working  on  a  high  school  choice  The  Fall  Luncheon  was  very 
special.  The  New  York  Yacht  club  was  especially  impressive,  the  food  was 
delicious,  but  the  company  was  the  best  Noreen  Doherty,  Mary  Ann 
Welndler  Horan,  Alice  Sheridan  D'Anna  and  Pat  Jeslnkey  Palmer  Alice 
was  the  victim  of  a  chain  snatcher  as  she  entered  the  club,  but  hooray  for 
Alice  -  she  foiled  the  robber's  attempt  and  saved  herself  and  the  chain. 
Carole  Roswell  Matter's  oldest  daughter,  Tara,  graduated  Cum  Laude  from 
Woodbury  University  in  June  '89  with  a  degree  in  Marketing.  One  down 
and  two  to  go.  says  Carole.  Mary  Jean  finished  her  third  year  at  University 
of  Santa  Barbara,  majoring  in  Religious  Studies.  Son  Dan  finished  his  first 
year  at  St.  Mary's  college  in  Moraga,  CA,  outside  Oakland.  Husband,  Dan, 
and  Carole  taught  CCD  for  nine  years  but  decided  to  take  a  year  off  from 
the  challenges  of  8th  graders  Instead  Carole  presented  a  six-week 
program  of  drug  and  alcohol  awareness  in  their  parish.  "It  was  a  rewarding 
experience  "  she  writes  Christine  Grlncato  Turnbaugh  is  responsible  for 
Travel  and  Publications  for  Michelin  Guides  &  Maps  for  the  US  and 
Canada,  and  has  done  a  lot  of  travelling.  She  and  John  have  a  son. 
Jonathon,  3  Christine  taught  French  and  Spanish  for  1 1  years  and  loved 
teaching.  She  may  return  to  teaching  next  year.  We  extend  sympathy  to  Sr. 
Kathryn  Clarke,  CSJ,  on  the  death  of  her  mother.  Both  Mr  and  Mrs.  Clarke 
were  active  in  the  Parents'  Club,  you  may  recall.  A  Happy  New  Year  to  all 
and  please  keep  those  letters  coming!!

1964 


I  am  reporting  to  you  live  -  after  the  quake  -  from  sunny  California  and  am 
among  the  very  fortunate  who  survived  the  experience  intact.  However,  the 
bedrock  of  NYC  is  beginning  to  seem  very  appealing  again!  Although  I 
never  realized  that  I'd  volunteered  as  Class  agent  when  I  offered  to  help 
organize  the  class  reunion  last  spring,  I'll  give  it  my  best  shot.  Phil  and 
Mary  Hllgeman  Meyers,  and  daughter,  Sara,  visited  me  this  summer  on 
their  return  from  a  vacation  in  the  Far  East.  We  enjoyed  a  whirlwind  tour  of 
Disneyland  and  Universal  Studios.  . .  including  the  simulated  earthquake 
experience.  Ron  and  Pat  McNulty  Kushner  were  also  out  traveling  this 
summer  and  stopped  by  to  visit  with  Joellen  Sheehan  Faucher  and  their 
family  in  Shirley,  MA.  Pat  and  I  spent  a  great  afternoon  earlier  this  summer 
walking  the  streets  of  Manhattan  in  the  pouring  rain  and  drinking  lime- 
rickeys  in  a  coffee  shop  while  we  dried  out  and  caught  up  on  each  other's 
life  Gerl  Thompson  Sokol  and  her  sons,  Peter  and  Christopher,  have 
returned  to  the  East  Coast  from  California.  She  recently  purchased  a  home 
in  Montclair,  NJ  and  is  Vice-president  for  a  financial  Investment 
Corporation  located  in  Jersey  City.  She's  managed  to  stay  in  touch  with 
Mary  Noberinl  Heller  and  Rosemary  Mayer  I  had  a  chance  to  see  all  of 
them  again  this  summer  and  am  very  confident  that  we  will  arrange 
another  reunion  in  1990.  It  would  be  great  if  we  could  entice  some  of  our 
"absentee"  classmates  to  join  us  next  time  Ellen  Monahan,  Glnny 
Humes  Mastondrea,  MaryEllen  Hennessy  Hansen,  Kerrl  Morrlssey 
Plowman,  Marie  Kessel,  JoAnn  Bacon  Turltto,  Marge  Penny  et  al  We 
missed  you!  We  extend  our  sympathy  to  Elizabeth  Hogan  on  the  death  of 
her  mother  last  June.  Her  father  died  in  1988.  Please  remember  them  in 
your  prayers  We  are  sorry  that  Joellen  Sheehan  Faucher  has  resigned  as 
class  agent  and  we  thank  her  for  her  services  for  the  past  several  years. 
While  visiting  East  Coast  beaches  last  June,  Joellen  stopped  to  look  up 
Sister  Joseph  Damlen  and  shared  a  few  hours,  recalling  the  days  when 
Joellen  helped  out  in  Public  Relations.  Joellen  is  trying  to  recall  who  it  was 
at  the  Spring  Luncheon,  who  volunteered  to  be  a  1964  class  agent.  Get  in 
touch  with  the  Alumni  Office  for  a  class  list  and  more  information  and  a 
beautiful  red  folder  to  help  keep  track  of  notes.  My  mailbox  is  still  standing 
and  I  would  welcome  hearing  from  all  of  you.

Charles  Robinson  last  summer.  The  wedding  was  held  July  29th  in  Coral 
Gables,  Florida.  The  Stanton  crew  took  a  week's  vacation  in  Cape  Cod  this

also  received  the  Vincent  Kassenbrock  Memorial  Scholarship,  a  New  York 
Telephone  Scholarship  and  a  Fordham  University  Scholarship.  Susan  and 
Elaine  have  the  honor  of  being  on  the  faculty  of  Bishop  Kearney  High 
School,  the  winner  of  the  Power  95  School  Spirit  Contest.  Somehow  they 
didn't  seem  too  enthused  about  having  a  disk  jockey  on  top  of  a  van  in  front 
of  the  school  handing  out  T-shirts  and  record  albums  at  dismissal  time 
The  contest  prize  was  2000  free  tickets  to  a  New  Kids  on  the  Block  concert 
We're  waiting  to  see  whether  they  go  Peggy  Smith  just  started  a  new  |ob, 
still  with  the  State  Social  Services  Department  in  Albany.  She  will  be  part  of 
an  interdepartmental  team  developing  program  ideas  for  early  intervention 
with  young  children  at  risk  for  health,  learning  and  social  problems.  Cathie 
Colgan  Stanton  just  gave  a  talk  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Science 
Teachers  Association  of  New  York  State  on  the  comparative  environmental 
effects  of  different  ways  of  producing  electric  energy.  Her  children  think 
she  does  it  because  they  are  not  a  particularly  attentive  audience.  Kathleen

The  Fall  Luncheon,  at  the  New  York  Yacht  Club  on  October  28th  was  a

inviting  all  members  of  the  faculty  and  administration  who  were  at  the 
college  in  1970!  Aside  from  the  program  committee's  special  surprises 
(Michele  Azenaro  Bracco  and  Fran  Stavola  Daly  have  volunteered  for  this 
effort),  we're  looking  forward  to  an  event  that  will  be  especially 
memorable.  In  a  month  or  so  we  will  send  you  a  questionnaire  and  we  ask 
you  for  an  update  on  your  activities  so  that  we  may  prepare  a  class  year 
booklet.  Later,  you  will  receive  and  invitation  for  the  May  6th  celebration.  If 
you  live  out  of  town  and  would  like  to  attend  the  reunion  but  need  a  place  to 
stay  overnight,  several  of  our  classmates  can  provide  lodging.  Call  Maria

Elizabeth  Cammarota  Zullo  of  the  class  of  71 
wrote  us  of  the  death  of  Patricia  Ann  Lettleri 
Hveen  August  13.  1989  After  leaving  St. 
Joseph's,  Pat  worked  at  the  Strong  Place  Day 
Care  Center  and  shortly  was  married  to  Frank 
Hveen.  She  left  her  job  before  her  daughter. 
Margaret,  was  born  Two  years  later  twins, 
Francis  and  Ralph,  were  born  and  Pat  stayed 
home  until  the  boys  started  first  grade. 
Elizabeth  Zullo  was  the  first  grade  teacher  at 
St.  Clare's  and  a  friendship  developed  between 
Pat,  Frank  and  herself.  When  the  boys  were  to 
enter  third  grade,  Elizabeth  moved  up  to  teach  it  so  that  she  could  have  the 
twins  again  The  following  year.  Pat  began  to  feel  that  something  was 
wrong  in  her  body  After  consulting  several  doctors.  Pat  was  diagnosed  as 
having  lymphoma.  Pat  did  everything  medically  available  to  fight  this 
terrible  form  of  cancer  but  had  to  give  up  her  job  within  the  year.  She  never 
complained  and  was  always  cheerful  in  spite  of  intense  pain.  She  had  a 
party  for  Margaret's  eighth  grade  graduation  and  a  party  tor  her  sons' 
birthday.  Her  smiling  face  belied  her  agony  but  she  was  happiest  doing  for 
her  family  Pat  loved  St.  Joseph's,  too.  Please  remember  her  and  her  family 
in  your  prayers  Barbara  Hurley  Camporeale  teaches  kindergarten  on

I  open  this  column  with  a  sad  note  -  that  our  classmate,  Kenneth  Floersch 
passed  away  last  December.  His  dad  asked  that  we  keep  Ken  and  the 
family  in  our  prayers.  I  will  also  have  a  Mass  said  for  Ken  from  our  class. 
Our  deepest  sympathy  to  his  dear  family.  Received  glad  news  from  Arne 
Sandal  Arne  and  Ann  are  parents  of  a  lovely  daughter.  Rachael  lllyse,  born 
July  6,  1989.  All  are  doing  well  and  are  living  in  a  new  home  in  Chester, 
Virginia  Arne  was  placed  on  the  "temporary  retired"  list  for  a  year  because 
of  some  injuries  he  sustained.  If  they  do  not  heal  in  this  period  of  time,  he 
will  have  to  retire  Good  luck,  Arne,  and  keep  us  informed  how  it  goes. 
MonaTreanorand  her  husband  are  enjoying  life.  All  six  children  are  adults 
and  Mona  has  been  enjoying  the  new  stage  of  her  life,  working  in  the  New 
York  State  Office  of  Mental  Health  -for  12  years  now.  On  October  15th,  I 
had  the  joy  of  helping  a  friend  of  mine  celebrate  her  25th  Anniversary  as  a 
Sister  of  St.  Joseph.  I  was  asked  to  do  the  homi  ly  at  her  Mass  and  saw  some 
of  our  dear  teachers  -  S.  Margaret  Louise  Shea  and  S.  Alice  Francis  Young 
They  haven't  changed.  .  .  and  they  were  so  glad  to  see  that  I  remembered 
them.  How  grateful  we  are  to  these  great  women  for  the  education 
provided  us,  the  class  of  1974.  Please  keep  in  touch  -  blessing  to  all.  .  .

Sister 

Marie  Clotilde 
Falvey,  C.S.J. 


Sister  Marie  Clotilde  Falvey,  CSJ  '33 


Sister  Marie  Clotilde  Falvey,  C.S.J.,  Professor  Emeritus 
of  Chemistry,  died  on  May  23rd  at  the  Maria  Regina 
Convent  in  Brentwood. 

Sister  Clotilde,  a  graduate  of  Maxwell  Training  School, 
entered  the  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph  in  September  1926.  In  1933 
she  received  her  B.A.  from  St.  Joseph's  College;  in  1937, 
her  M.A.  from  Columbia  University.  A  member  of  St. 
Joseph's  faculty  from  1936  on,  Sister  Clotilde  served  as 
Chairperson  of  the  Chemistry  Department  for  many  years. 

Active  professionally,  Sister  participated  in  a  number  of 
National  Science  Foundation  summer  programs.  In 
addition,  she  contributed  to  formulating  portions  of  the 
American  Chemical  Society  exam  in  Physical  Chemistry, 
and  abstracted  and  translated  articles  in  English  and 
German  for  Chemical  Abstracts.  In  September  she  was  to 
have  received  a  medal  from  the  American  Chemical 
Society  for  her  membership  of  fifty  years. 

Sister  Clotilde  was  active  in  local  civic  organizations 
such  as  Clergy  Concerned  for  a  Better  Fort  Greene,  the 
Pastoral  Planning  Project,  the  Dr.  White  Community 
Center,  and,  most  important,  the  Jeanne  Valois  Guild  for 
the  Handicapped,  which  she  helped  to  organize  in  1951 
and  to  which  she  remained  dedicated  until  the  1980's.  For 
the  last  few  years  she  devoted  herself  to  contributing  to  the 
neighborhood  shelter  for  the  homeless. 

At  the  Mass  of  the  Resurrection  on  May  26th,  Sister 
George  Aquin  O'Connor,  C.S.J. ,  President  of  St.  Joseph's 
College,  spoke  "for  those  of  us  who  have  shared  our  lives 
with  Sister  Marie  Clotilde". 

For  more  than  sixty  years,  Sister  Marie  Clotilde  has 
lived  at  St.  Joseph's  College.  Independent,  quick-witted, 
clever,  curious,  determined,  and  private,  she  faithfully 
Iwed  out  her  commitment  as  a  Sister  of  St.  Joseph  with 
tremendous  generosity  and  joy,  always  with  a  great  respect 
for  authority  in  civil,  religious,  and  collegiate  circles. 

As  a  professor  of  Chemistry  and  long-time  chairperson 
of  the  Department,  she  is  remembered  as  a  dedicated 
teacher,  an  innovative  instructor  who  introduced  courses 
in  Earth  Science  and  the  Ascent  of  Man,  an  avid  collector 
of  specimens,  a  reliable  predictor  of  the  weather,  a  roof 
watcher  of  the  heavenly  galaxies — always  impatient  for 
her  students  and  us  to  learn  more  and  to  be  up-to-date  in 
the  ever  revealing  field  of  science. 

Holidays  often  meant  trips  to  the  42nd  Street  Library, 
museums,  the  Planetarium.  In  earlier  years  N.S.F.  grants 
enabled  her  to  explore  many  areas  of  the  United  States. 
Wherever  she  went — to  New  Mexico,  North  Carolina,  or 
the  library,  her  curious  and  capable  intellect  absorbed 
much  to  be  shared.  We  shall  think  of  her  as  ever  a  part  of 
the  College  and  an  influential  alumna.  Sixty  years  is  a 
long  time  of  service  in  one  assignment! 


An  observant  religious,  Sister  Clotilde  loved  the 
Scriptures  (her  Sacramentary  was  a  treasured  gift).  She 
prepared  liturgies,  and  was  faithful  to  the  Liturgy  of  the 
Hours.  She  loved  to  sew,  especially  artu  les  for  the  Chapel. 
Often, Sister  and  her  generous  family  provided  flowers  for 
spec  ia I  occasions.  For  many  years,  Clo  cultivated  roses  in  a 
small  garden  which  was  hers  near  the  side  entrance  to  the 
Convent. 

Sister's  energies  were  not  all  centered  on  the  College. 
She  knew  many  of  our  neighbors,  some  of  whom  are  with 
us  today .  She  was  of  ten  a  lector  here  at  Queen  of  AllSaintS, 
active  in  Clergy  Concerned  for  a  Better  Fort  Greene,  and 
was  often  seen  planning  suppers  and  going  to  the 
supermarket  for  food  and  treats  for  the  homeless  at  the 
nearby  shelter.  For  them  she  bought  so<  ks,  made  scarves, 
and  reminded  us  all  by  her  quiet  example  that  we  too 
should  share  what  has  been  gwen  us. 

Her  activity  in  the  Jeanne  J'alois  Guild  took  her  time 
many,  many  Sundays  as  she  prepared  for  the  meetings  at 
the  College,  or  more  distant  locations  (usually  travelling 
by  bus).  Closet  up  for  liturgy,  provided  some  refreshments. 
and  welcomed  all  with  a  cheery  hello.  Though  she  almost 
never  spoke  of  love,  all  her  good  works  bespoke  love  for 
students,  family,  friends,  her  beloved  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph, 
and  those  to  whom  she  readily  extended  herself. 

More  recently,  we  noted  with  sadness  Clo's  loss  of 
iveight  and  inability  to  move  with  the  swiftness  to  whit  h 
we  had  long  become  accustomed,  and  we  saic  her  submit 
to  hospitalization  and  all  that  it  entailed.  Eventually  Clo 
agreed  to  two  weeks  in  Maria  Regina  Convent  in 
Brentwood  to  regain  her  strength;  then  she  hoped  she 
would  be  home  again.  As  the  ambulance  entered  the 
grounds  of  our  Motherhouse  in  Brentwood,  she  looked 
out  the  window  and  gave  her  last  geology  lesson.  She 
identified  the  terrain  "terminal  moraine-Wisconsin 
glacier"!  On  the  morning  after  her  Nth  day  in  Maria 
Regina,  with  patience,  sincere  gratitude,  and  profound 
spiritual  strength,  surrounded  by  her  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph, 
Sister  Clotilde  went  quietly  and  serenely  to  the  home 
prepared  for  her  from  all  eternity. 

And  so  today  we  bid  farewell  to  her  body-though  not  her 
memory.  May  all  of  us  retail  the  lessons  she  taught 
without  words:  love  of  her  family,  her  Congregation,  and 
the  Chun  h;  openess  to  new  ideas,  dxntimic  interest  m  all 
aspects  of  ministry — and  sell  lew  giving.  Following  her. 
we  as  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph  continue  to  hold  union  with 
God  and  others  as  our  focus — with  the  hope  of  ultimate 
transformation  until,  like  her.  we  max  peat  efully  enter  the 
home  prepared  for  each  of  us  from  all  eternity.  Thank  you, 
Clo.

Mary  St.  John  Murphy  '24 

At  the  Arts  and  Sciences  commence- 
ment exercises  in  Brooklyn,  on  June 
8th,  St.  Joseph's  College  Board  of 
Trustees  conferred  the  honorary  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Humane  Letters  on  Mary 
St.  John  Murphy  of  the  class  of  1924. 

Since  graduation,  Mary  has  main- 
tained a  deep  commitment  to  the  college. 
For  more  than  half  a  century  she 
rendered  invaluable  service  as  president 
of  the  alumnae  association  for  three 
years,  as  a  college  Trustee  for  25  years, 
as  supporter  of  innumerable  events, 
and  a  generous  benefactor,  through  the 
provision  of  scholarship  assistance  to 
many  deserving  students.  She  was  also 
editor  of  the  Alumnagram  in  its  early 
years. 

Mary  St.  John  was  a  junior  high 
school  teacher  in  the  New  York  City 
Public  School  system.  She  retired  in 
1969  after  48  years  of  service  as  teacher, 
assistant  principal  and,  her  last  position, 
principal  of  Marshall  Junior  High 
School  in  Bedford-Stuyvesant. 

An  active  parishioner  in  the  church 
of  the  Good  Shepherd  Mary  opened  the 
Friendship  Club,  taught  CCD  for  25 
years,  served  on  the  parish  council  for  3 
years  and  as  a  Eucharistic  Minister  for  7 
years.

honoris  causa. 


Given  this  eighth  day  of  June,  1990. 


With  The  Stock  Exchange 


In  the  few  years  since  her  gradua- 
tion from  St.  Joseph's,  Ellen  McCarthy- 
has  completed  law  school  at  St.  John's 
University,  been  admitted  to  the  New 
York  State  Bar,  and  laid  the  foundation 
for  a  significant  legal  career  in  the 
troubled  Wall  Street  of  the  '90's. 

Ellen  is  now  employed  as  an  Enforce- 
ment Attorney  with  the  New  York 
Stock  Exchange.  She  began  this  associa- 
tion in  September  1989,  having  held 
jobs  in  the  legal  field  since  her  college 
days. 

Ellen  investigates  allegations  of 
misconduct  by  stockbrokers  or  by 
brokerage  firms.  After  completing  her 
investigation,  she  may  recommend 
that  formal  disciplinary  action  be 
taken.  If  her  recommendation  is 
accepted  at  the  appropriate  level 
within  the  Exchange,  she  then  attempts 
to  negotiate  a  settlement  with  the 
subject  of  her  investigation.  As  with 
all  legal  disputes,  negotiations  some- 
times break  down.  In  the  event  of  such 
a  break-down,  Ellen  must  prepare 
herself  for  a  contested  hearing  before 
the  Exchange's  three-member  Hearing 
Panel. 

She  finds  her  job  exciting  and 
challenging.  "It's  a  wonderful  job  for 
a  new  lawyer,  since  I'm  getting  hands- 
on  experience  in  almost  all  aspects  of 
the  legal  profession-from  researching 
and  writing  to  negotiating  and  arguing 
in  a  hearing  room".  Ellen  enjoys  the 
work  all  the  more  because  of  co- 
workers who  are  very  supportive  and 
willing  to  share  their  expertise. 

In  September  of  1980  Ellen  matricu- 
lated at  St.  Joseph's  College  on  a  full 
scholarship  from  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
She  had  graduated  from  Stella  Maris 
High  School  at  the  end  of  her  junior 
year,  in  an  accelerated  program.  At 
SJC,  Ellen  majored  in  history  and  in 
1984  received  her  Bachelor  of  Arts 
degree,  summa  cum  laude.  She  was 
also  the  class  valedictorian. 

As  a  student  at  SJC,  Ellen  partici- 
pated in  numerous  extra-curricular 
activities.  Among  them  were  service  as 
Junior  Class  Representative,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Phi  Mu  Chapter  of  Phi 


Alpha  Theta,  President  of  the 
Political  Affairs  Club,  and  Yearbook 
Photography  Editor.  She  was  also  a 
Peer  Tutor,  and  belonged  to  Chapel 
Players  and  the  Gaelic  Society. 

While  a  senior,  Ellen  worked  for 
Lawyers  Title  Insurance  Company 
as  a  real  estate  title  examiner.  She 
left  LTIC  in  late  1984  to  take  a 
position  with  Technimetrics,  Inc., 
an  investor  relations  consulting  firm 
servicing  the  Fortune  500  and  the 
securities  industry.  She  acted  as  an 
intermediary  between  the  firm's  1 1- 
member  sales  force  and  997  insti- 
tutional clients,  facilitatingcontract 
renewals  and  handling  orders.  She 
also  managed  Accounts  Receivable, 
representing  an  annual  income  to 
the  firm  of  $7.6  million. 

In  1986,  Ellen  joined  Wood, 
Struthers  &  Winthrop  Management 
Corporation,  an  investment  advisory 
subsidiary  of  the  brokerage  firm  of 
Donaldson,  Lufkin  &  Jenrette. 
While  attending  law  school,  she 
continued  to  work  there,  performing 
various  functions  in  the  firm's 
Legal  Compliance,  Mutual  Funds, 
and  Operations  departments.  She 
left  Wood  Struthers  in  June  1989  to 
study  for  the  Bar  Exam.  After  a 
much-needed  vacation  to  Ireland 
in  August,  she  began  her  present 
employment  at  the  NYSE. 

Of  her  education  at  St.  Joseph's, 
Ellen  says,  "The  academic  training 
I  received  at  SJC  was  excellent. 
However,  I  think  the  most  im- 
portant aspect  of  my  college  experi- 
ence was  the  development  of  my 
sense  of  self.  My  family  had  already 
instilled  in  me  a  sense  of  who  I  am 
as  a  person  in  this  world  of  vast 
opportunity.  The  caring  atmos- 
phere at  SJC,  from  administrators, 
faculty,  and  fellow  students,  allowed 
me  to  further  explore  my  own 
unique  possibilities  and  develop 
my  personal  potential.  I  can  honest- 
ly say  that  deciding  to  attend  St. 
Joe's  was  one  of  the  best  choices  I 
ever  made." 


Anne  Schrage  '27 

Anne  Schrage's  delivery  of  the  valedictory  at  Class  Day 
in  Commencement  Week  of  1927  was  the  culmination  of  a 
college  career  distinguished  by  her  spirited  participation 
in  diversified  phases  of  student  life.  Outstanding  was  her 
talent  in  the  field  of  dramatic  performance  and  direction; 
she  continued  to  manifest  this  in  her  enthusiastic 
leadership  of  the  dramatic  groups  sponsored  for  some 
years  as  part  of  alumnae  activities.  Anne  was  always 
articulate  in  her  gratitude  for  the  abiding,  positive 
significance  of  St.  Joseph's  in  her  life.  She  included  in  her 
indebtedness  the  "Evenings  with  Christ"  which  she 
attended  as  an  alumna  during  the  decades  they  were  held, 
the  early  '30's  into  the  '50's,  open  to  undergraduates  and 
graduates.  She  was  highly  conscious  of  the  spiritual  and 
intellectual  benefits  we  received  from  those  never-to-be- 
forgotten  symposia  on  First  Friday  evenings. 

Immediately  upon  graduation  Anne  became  a  member 
of  the  New  York  City  school  system;  in  February  1931,  as  a 
result  of  success  in  competitive  examination,  she  received 
her  appointment  as  Teacher  of  Speech  in  High  School. 
She  functioned  in  this  capacity  for  forty-one  years,  during 
the  last  thirty-three  of  which  she  was  on  the  faculty  of 
Forest  Hills  High  School,  from  which  she  retired  in  1973. 

During  her  entire  adult  life  Anne  was  a  faithful  member 
of  the  Secular  Order  of  Franciscans.  Beginning  in  1933,  for 
twenty  years  she  gave  religious  instructions  to  girls  and  boys 
attending  public  school;  through  the  medium  of  the 
Confraternity  of  Christian  Doctrine  she  did  this  in  her 
home  parish,  Presentation  of  the  Blessed  Virgin  Mary, 
Jamaica.  Later  she  was  a  Lector  there.  Her  service  as  a 
Eucharistic  Minister  in  a  nursing  home  in  her  geographic 
area  ended  only  when  she  sold  her  house  in  July  1982  and 
moved  into  a  senior  residence,  first  in  Queens  and  then  in 
Somerset,  New  Jersey.  In  the  latter  location  she  was  within 
convenient  distance  of  a  much-loved  niece  who  was  most 
attentive  to  her.  Anne's  mental  vigor  persisted  and  her  good 
looks  endured,  but  she  was  in  declining  physical  health  for 
five  years  prior  to  her  death  on  December  14,  1989. 

In  April  1946  Anne  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the 
Queens  County  Interracial  Committee  of  the  Brooklyn 
Diocesan  Council  of  Catholic  Women.  As  Chairman  of 
this  Committee  she  addressed  innumberable  groups  and 
conferred  with  countless  persons  in  her  unremitting 
efforts  to  promote  both  the  understanding  of  Catholic 
principles  of  interracial  justice  and  the  determination  to 
act  in  conformity  with  them.  She  was  a  member  of  the 
Catholic  Interracial  Council  and  for  a  period  of  time  its 
Secretary.  She  regularly  attended  its  meetings  at  the  Vesey 


Insight 

and 

Action 


Street  headquarters  in  Manhattan  and  found  very  valuable 
not  only  the  inspiration  and  widsom  of  the  scholarly 
Father  John  La  Farge,  S.J.,  and  the  acumen  of  the 
indefatigable  Executive  Secretary,  George  Hunton,  Editor 
of  Interracial  Review,  but  also  the  contributions  to  the 
discussions  by  other  members  of  this  interracial  group. 
Anne  was  a  charter  member  of  the  New  York  State 
Commission  Against  Discrimination.  In  1952  she  was  the 
recipient  of  the  Queens  Brotherhood  Award.  In  1980  she 
was  the  Right  to  Life  Party  candidate  for  the  New  York 
State  Assembly. 

Anne's  ardor  in  the  causes  which  she  espoused  revealed 
strikingly  to  a  large  number  of  people  the  qualities  which 
we,  her  fellow-alumnae,  knew  to  be  characteristic  of  her: 
thorough  and  constantly  expanding  and  deepening 
knowledge  of  her  Faith;  sensitivity  to  its  implications  for 
the  individual  and  for  society;  generous  sacrifice  of  self  in 
countless  hours  of  inconspicuous,  tedious,  and  necessary 
labor  in  behalf  of  Catholic  ideals  and  the  measures  to 
implement  them;  enlightened,  eloquent,  and  courageous 
defense  of  right,  regardless  of  circumstances  or  person- 
alities; unfailing  spirit  of  charity.  Consequently  it  was 
with  joy  that,  in  1964,  we  welcomed  the  news  that  Anne 
had  been  selected  to  be  one  of  the  delegates  from  the 
Brooklyn  Diocese  to  the  canonization  in  Rome  of  the 
Uganda  Martyrs;  her  letters  and  her  later  oral  narratives 
shared  with  us  her  memorable  experience. 

One  of  Anne's  cherished  possessions  was  a  photgraph  of 
Laurian  Cardinal  Rugambwa,  Bishop  of  Bukoba, 
Tanzania.  At  Vatican  Council  II  he  presided  over  a  central 
secretariat  about  which  the  bishops  of  Africa  grouped 
their  episcopacies;  he  was  the  first  African  cardinal.  The 
photograph  which  His  Eminence  gave  Anne  bears  his 
handwritten  inscription,  "To  Miss  Anne  Schrage, 
wishing  you  God's  blessing"  and  his  signature. 

Anne's  fervent  love  for  her  Faith,  her  zeal  for  justice,  her 
variety  of  natural  gifts  and  cultural  interests,  her  outgoing 
personality,  her  fine  voice  and  bearing,  her  strong  family 
ties,  and  her  ability  to  give  and  to  receive  warm  friendship, 
enriched  her  life  and  the  lives  of  us  who  cherish  our  fond 
memories  of  her.  The  quotation  from  St.  Thomas  More, 
that  appears  on  the  lovely  acknowledgement  card  made  by 
her  artist-niece,  truly  reflects  Anne:  "Pray  for  me,  as  I  will 
for  thee,  that  we  may  merrily  meet  in  heaven."

Honored  By  Marymount 


Dr.  Elisa  Carnllo  '43 

Dr.  Elisa  Carrillo  '43  has  recently  been  singularly 
honored  by  Marymount  College,  Tarrytown.  Marymount 
has  named  its  adult  scholars'  program  the  Elisa  Carrillo 
Scholars  Program  for  Adult  Women. 

This  program  makes  it  easy  for  women  who  have 
postponed  their  college  education  for  personal  or 
financial  reasons,  to  pursue  the  degree  they  desire.  When 
the  time  comes  that  it  is  important  for  them  to  return  to 
study,  the  college  provides  the  support  and 
encouragement  they  need.  The  returned  student  brings 
with  her  the  immeasurable  gift  of  life  experience.  When 
she  has  earned  her  degree,  she  leaves  with  new  skills,  a 
fresh  outlook,  and  a  sense  of  personal  fulfillment. 

Dr.  Carrillo,  an  internationally  known  and  respected 
historian,  has  been  a  professor  of  history  at  Marymount 
College,  Tarrytown,  since  1945,  becoming  a  full  professor 
in  1958.  She  received  her  PhD  in  history  from  Fordham 
University  in  1953.  She  has  done  research  in  15  foreign 
countries,  including  the  Soviet  Union,  Israel,  Turkey, 
Morocco,  and  most  of  Europe,  and  is  an  authority  on  the 
history  of  modern  Italy,  on  Soviet  life  and  culture,  and  on 
women  in  European  history. 

Elisa  Carrillo  is  the  author  of  an  impressive  list  of  books 
and  articles.  Some  of  the  latter  have  appeared  in  the 
Journal  of  Modern  History,  Review  of  Politics,  Catholic 
Historical  Review,  America,  and  New  Catholic 
Encyclopedia.  The  biography  she  compiled:  Alcide  de 
Gaspari,  the  Long  Apprenticeship,  was  published  in  1965 
by  the  University  of  Notre  Dame  Press.  De  Gaspari  was  the 
first  Christian  Democratic  Prime  Minister  of  Italy  after 
World  War  II,  serving  from  1943-1953.  After  his  death  in 
1954,  Dr.  Carrillo  was  the  only  American  scholar  granted 
access  to  his  private  papers  by  the  family  who  had  custody 
of  them. 

Elisa  is  the  recipient  of  many  prestigious  grants  and 
awards  including  the  King  Award  of  the  United  States 
Catholic  Historical  Society,  for  Excellence  in  Research. 
She  has  also  served  in  an  executive  capacity  in  several 
major  professional  organizations. 

In  the  classroom,  Elisa  is  a  legend.  Her  teaching  is  rich 
with  energy  and  excitement  and  it  is  this  love  of 
scholarship  that  stimulates  many  students  to  attain 
further  academic  goals. 

St.  Joseph's  College  takes  immense  pride  in  Dr.  Elisa 
Carrillo  on  whom  this  unique  honor  has  been  bestowed 
and  extends  congratulations  and  best  wishes  to  her.

Prize  For  Humanitarianism 


Sister  lsohna  Ferre,  MSBT  '59 


An  alumna  of  St.  Joseph's  College, 
Sister  Isolina  Ferre  '59,  whose  work  has 
been  described  in  previous  Alumna- 
grams,  has  received  a  most  prestigious 
award  for  humanitarian  effort. 

The  Albert  Schweitzer  Prize  for 
Humanitarianism  is  named  for  the 
celebrated  physician  who  gave  up  a 
brilliant  career  to  devote  his  life  to  a 
heroic  humanitarian  mission  in  Africa. 
It  was  established  in  1986  by  Alfred 
Toepfer,  the  international  grain 
merchant  of  Hamburg,  Germany, 
founder  of  the  Alexander  von  Humboldt 
Foundation.  The  prize,  given  annually 
by  the  foundation,  is  intended  to 
advance  the  cause  of  humanitarianism 
through  recognition  of  exemplary 
achievement.  In  1987  it  was  awarded  to 
former  President  Jimmy  Carter,  in  1988 
to  Marian  Wright  Edelman. 

The  award  was  presented  to  Sister  on 
October  20,  1989,  at  a  ceremony  at  The 
Johns  Hopkins  University.  Among  the 
speakers  was  the  Honorable  Rafael 
Hernandez-Colon,  Governor  of  Puerto 
Rico.  Steven  Muller,  President  of  the 
University  and  Chairman  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  for  the  Prize,  presented  the 
award  with  this  citation: 


The  Johns  Hopkins  University 

on  behalf  of 

The  Alexander  von  Humboldt  Foundation 

presents 

The  Albert  Schweitzer  Prize  for  Humanitarianism 

to 

Sister  Isolina  Ferre 


Educator,  missionary,  and  friend  of  the  downtrodden, 

you  have  dedicated  your  life  to  the  service  of  those  less  fortunate, 

extending  your  hand  to  help  them  help  themselves. 

Your  grace,  understanding,  and  hard  work  for  more  than  fifty  years  on  behalf  of  poor 

families  in  the  Appalachian  coal  mines  of  West  Virginia, 

Portuguese  immigrants  in  the  islands  near  Cape  Cod,  black  and  Puerto  Rican  youths 

in  the  troubled  streets  of  New  York,  and  rural  youths  in  your  native  Puerto  Rico 

have  rekindled  their  hope  for  a  life  of  dignity  and  justice. 

As  a  young  woman,  you  could  easily  have  chosen  a  life 

amidst  the  security  and  wealth  of  your  family  in  Puerto  Rico. 

Instead,  when  you  joined  the  Missionary  Servants  of  the  Most  Blessed  Trinity 

at  the  age  of  twenty-one  —  and  when  you  mediated  between  gangs 

in  Brooklyn  and  the  city's  juvenile  justice  system,  when  you  devoted  yourself  to  the 

study  of  criminology  at  Fordham  University,  and  when  you  reassembled  a 

shattered  community  in  Ponce,  Puerto  Rico,  and 

established  the  Sister  Isolina  Ferre  Centers  — you  chose,  again  and  again, 

with  intelligence  and  compassion,  to  confront  the  despair  of  poverty 

rather  than  accept  the  comfortable  notion  that  the  needs  of  the 

disenfranchised  are  the  concern  of  others. 

The  educational,  health,  and  social  programs  of  the  Sister 

Isolina  Ferre  Centers  give  youths,  the  disabled,  and  the  elderly  in  Ponce  the 

tools  they  need  to  help  themselves,  and  these  exemplary  programs  stand  as 

national  models  of  what  community-based  action  can  accomplish. 

Sister  Isolina  Ferre,  for  your  unceasing  commitment  to 

improve  the  lives  of  your  fellow  brothers  and  sisters, 

The  Johns  Hopkins  University, 

on  behalf  of  The  Alexander  von  Humboldt  Foundation, 

is  proud  to  bestow  upon  you  The  Albert  Schweitzer  Prize  for  Humanitarianism.

Queens  High  School 
Superintendent 


Mary  H.  Shea 
Professor  Emeritus 


Margaret  Harrington  '64 


On  May  7th,  Margaret  R.  Harrington  '64  was  named  to 
be  the  new  Superintendent  of  Queens  High  Schools  by 
City  Schools  Chancellor,  Joseph  Fernandez.  Prior  to  her 
assignment,  she  was  principal  of  Port  Richmond  High 
School  in  Staten  Island. 

In  her  new  role,  Margaret  Harrington  will  supervise  26 
public  high  schools  in  Queens,  with  a  total  enrollment  of 
approximately  60,000  students.  Several  specialized  schools 
are  part  of  her  jurisdiction,  such  as  Aviation  High  School 
in  Long  Island  City,  which  offers  a  curriculum  in 
aerospace  mechanics,  and  John  Bowne  High  School  in 
Flushing,  which  offers  a  curriculum  in  farming  and 
agriculture.  Her  office  will  be  at  Newtown  High  School 
Annex  in  Corona. 

Peg  notes  that  Queens  high  schools  are  high-achieving 
schools  and  that  this  presents  a  wonderful  opportunity  for 
collaboration,  collegiality  and  professionalism  on  the 
part  of  school  staff,  parents,  and  the  community.  She 
looks  forward  to  the  opportunity  to  be  an  educational 
leader  and  bring  even  greater  heights  to  the  Queens 
schools. 

Dr.  Noel  kriftcher,  BASIS  Superintendent,  credits  Dr. 
Harrington  with  bringing  a  community  spirit  to  Port 
Richmond.  She  worked  to  get  the  parents  and  community 
involved  in  the  school  and  "brought  real  community 
spirit  to  the  place." 

During  her  tenure  as  principal,  Peg  continued  her  own 
education  at  Fordham  University,  Lincoln  Center, 
Department  of  Administration,  Public  Policy  and  Urban 
Law,  and  was  granted  a  Doctor  of  Education  degree  this 
year.  Her  dissertation  was  on  the  "First  Year  of  the 
Implementation  of  the  Peer  Intervention  Program  within 
the  City  of  New  York."  In  addition,  she  was  recently 
admitted  into  the  New  York  Academy  of  Public  Education. 

Margaret  Harrington,  a  History  major,  received  her 
Bachelor's  degree  from  St.  Joseph's  College  in  1964.  That 
year  she  began  teaching  Social  Studies  at  Mckinley  Junior 
High  School  in  Brooklyn.  In  1969,  she  joined  the  Curtis 
High  School  staff  and  advanced  to  Assistant  Principal 
therein  1977.  She  was  named  Principal  of  Port  Richmond 
High  School  in  1982.  During  that  time  Peg  received  a 
Master's  (1966)  from  Brooklyn  College  and  a  Professional 
Diploma  in  Supervision  and  Administration  from  the 
College  of  Staten  Island.

Mary  H.  Shea 

Mary  H.  Shea,  Professor  Emeritus,  died  on  May  22nd, 
after  an  illness  of  several  months. 

Miss  Shea  joined  the  faculty  of  St.  Joseph's  College  in 
1943.  She  held  degrees  from  Brooklyn  College  and  New- 
York  University,  and  had  studied  at  the  University  of

Advocate  For  The  Mentally  111  Named  School  Superintendent 


Angela  Shillitani  McGrath  '50  with  her  husband  John. 

In  recognition  of  her  dedication  to  the  mentally 
handicapped,  the  Virginia  State  Mental  Health,  Mental 
Retardation  and  Substance  Abuse  Services  Board,  presented 
Angela  Shillitani  McGrath  '50  with  its  community  service 
award  for  her  work  with  the  mentally  ill.  A  wife,  mother 
and  successful  insurance  agent,  Angela  has  and  still  does 
devote  much  of  her  spare  time  to  assisting  the  mentally 
retarded,  mentally  ill,  and  substance  abusers  in  her  home 
community  of  Richmond,  Virginia. 

The  problems  faced  by  the  mentally  handicapped  are  of 
personal  interest  to  Angela  and  her  family.  She  was 
motivated  14  years  ago  when  her  daughter,  now  27,  was 
diagnosed  as  having  schizophrenia.  After  Anne  Marie 
finished  high  school,  Angela  saw  that  there  was  very  little 
that  she  alone  could  do  for  her,  and  she  started  to  attend 
parent  support  groups  to  learn  what  other  parents  were 
experiencing  and  doing  about  it.  They  all  had  similarly 
handicapped  young  adults  who  were  at  home  with 
nothing  to  do,  and  all  were  deeply  concerned  about  what 
was  going  to  happen  to  their  children  when  they  were 
gone. 

It  was  concluded  that  competent  professionals  should 
develop  programs  to  find  where  each  handicapped  person 
could  be  employed,  and  eventually  to  establish  residences 
for  them.  County  officials  needed  to  know  of  this  problem 
and  Angela  urged  parents  to  be  advocates  -  to  go  to 
hearings  and  contact  legislative  officials  to  tell  them  of 
these  young  people  and  their  needs.  It  all  came  down  to 
two  requests:  for  employment  and  for  appropriate 
residential  services. 

When  the  county  decided  to  establish  group  homes, 
Angela  realized  that  most  peopledon't  understand  mental 
disability  and  have  the  warped  concept  that  mentally 
disabled  should  be  left  by  themselves,  that  they  are 
dangerous  and  can't  do  anything.  Angela  set  about  to 
educate  citizens  and  to  explain  the  need  for  employment 
training  and  the  establishment  of  group  homes  in 
neighborhoods  familiar  to  them.  She  co-founded  the 
Henrico  County  Citizens  for  the  Mentally  Handicapped 
and  served  as  its  president  for  a  number  of  years. 

When  the  Virginia  Department  of  Mental  Health, 
Mental  Retardation  and  Substance  Abuse  Services  needed 
more  money  for  community  services  for  its  clients,  Angela 
again  saw  the  necessity  to  educate  people  for  the  need  for 
financial  assistance.  She  took  part  in  a  statewide  coalition 
that  went  to  the  Virginia  General  Assembly  two  years  ago 
and  persuaded  legislators  to  allocate  $65  million  for 
community  services  for  the  mentally  disabled.  This  past 
year,  400  to  500  citizens  attended  a  budget  hearing  to  beg 


Sister  Mary  Kieran  Hartigan, 
RSM,  has  been  named  School 
Superintendent  of  the  Rockville 
Center  Diocese,  which  serves 
Nassau  and  Suffolk  counties. 
She  is  an  experienced  educator 
and  administrator  who  has 
served  the  diocese  for  more 
than  22  years. 

Sister  Mary  Kieran,  a  graduate 
of  the  class  of  1968,  has  taught 
at  both  the  elementary  and 
secondary  school   levels.   She 

S.  Mary  Kieran  Hartigan,  RSM  %6S    was  principal  of  Our  Lady  of 

Mercy  Academy  in  Syosset  from  1972-80,  and  principal  of 
St.  Pius  X  in  Plainview  from  1968-72.  In  1980,  she  joined 
the  St.  John's  University  faculty  as  an  adjunct  professor. 
Four  years  later  Sister  Mary  Kieran  returned  to  the  Diocese 
as  Associate  Superintendent  of  schools.  Last  July,  when 
Dr.  Hugh  F.  Carroll  left  to  assume  a  position  in  public 
education,  sister  became  Acting  Superintendent. 

Sister  Mary  Kieran  considers  it  an  honor  to  serve  the 
people  of  the  diocese  in  such  a  high  capacity.  She  believes 
that  there  is  a  need  for  the  preservation,  revitalization  and 
extension  of  our  Christian  message  and  that  an  organized 
institution  will  preserve  the  integrity  of  our  Catholic 
faith.  Academic  excellence  and  the  development  and 
growth  of  this  faith  is  to  be  found  in  the  Catholic 
education  system.  Catholic  schools  must  enable  parents  to 
be  the  primary  educators  of  their  children,  both  in  secular 
and  religious  subjects. 

Other  major  concerns  facing  Catholic  education,  she 
says,  include  developing  the  ministry  of  teaching,  a 
comprehensive  health  education  program,  public  re- 
lations, enrollment,  and  improved  communication  with 
priests. 

Sister  Mary  Kieran  holds  a  master's  degree  in  education 
and  a  professional  diploma  from  St.  John's  University 
and  is  presently  a  doctoral  candidate  at  St.  John's.  A 
member  of  the  National  Catholic  Education  Association, 
she  serves  on  the  executive  board  from  Region  2.  She  is 
also  a  member  of  the  New  York  State  Catholic  Council  of 
Superintendents  and  Chief  Administrators  of  Catholic 
Education. 


Advocate  continued 

legislators  not  to  cut  funds  for  mental  health.  If  money 
were  not  allocated  for  these  positive  goals,  it  would  have  to 
go  for  institutions,  a  far  more  costly  operation. 

After  two  and  a  half  years  on  a  waiting  list,  Angela's 
daughter  has  moved  into  the  county's  supervised  apart- 
ment program.  She  shares  an  apartment  with  two  other 
mentally  disabled  women.  Angela  has  three  other  grown 
children  and  three  grandchildren  and  she  now  has  some 
peace  of  mind  knowing  that  Ann  is,  with  assistance,  able 
to  be  on  her  own. 

Angela  will  be  retiring  from  active  employment  at  the 
end  of  June  this  year.  She  is  looking  forward  to  spending 
time  with  the  grandchildren,  and  to  continuing  her 
advocacy  efforts  for  the  mentally  handicapped. 


Hero  In  Education 


Thomas  F.  Roeder  '77 

Thomas  F.  Roeder,  teacherat  P.S.  138  in  New  York  City, 
who  was  profiled  in  Alumnagram  Winter  '88,  has  been 
named  a  1990  Reader's  Digest  American  Hero  in 
Education.  Tom  will  receive  $5,000  from  the  company  for 
his  efforts  to  integrate  severely  disabled  students  with  their 
nondisabled  peers  in  academic,  social  and  work,  settings.  In 
addition,  RS.  138  will  receive  $10,000  to  support  Tom's 
ongoing  programs  that  further  educational  excellence. 

"The  achievements  of  Thomas  Roeder  are  truly 
heroic,"  said  George  V.  Grune,  Reader's  Digest  chairman 
and  chief  executive  officer.  "He  has  risen  above  the 
extraordinary  challenges  facing  him  and  motivated  his 
students  to  excel.  He  isan  inspiration  to  people  everywhere." 

The  Reader's  Digest  American  Heroes  in  Education 
Awards  is  a  three-year  program  to  honor  educators  in  10 
schools — individuals  or  teams  of  up  to  six  teachers  and 
principals — solving  the  critical  problems  facing  schools 
everywhere. 

The  program,  in  its  second  year,  is  jointly  sponsored  by 
the  Reader's  Digest  Association,  Inc.,  the  National 
Association  of  Secondary  School  Principals,  National 
Education  Association,  National  Association  of  Ele- 
mentary School  Principals  and  American  Federation  of 
Teachers.  A  panel  of  leading  educators  representing  these 
organizations  chose  this  year's  "heroes." 


Tom,  along  with  the  other  1990  award  recipients,  was 
chosen  from  400  nominations  submitted  by  fellow 
educators  in  public,  private  and  parochial  schools 
nationwide.  Tom  has  been  teaching  students  with  severe 
physical  and  mental  disabilities — and  also  challenging 
those  who  feel  that  his  students  are  incapable  of 
learning — for  the  past  13  years. 

Four  years  ago,  Roeder  initiated  a  "Community 
Integration  Program"  which  brings  disabled  and  non- 
disabled  individuals  together  so  they  can  learn  from  each 
other  inside  and  outside  the  classroom. 

The  biggest  obstacle  Tom  Roeder  faced  was  winning 
support  for  his  program.  He  spent  hundreds  of  hours 
developing  the  program,  including  searching  for  New 
York  City  worksites  that  could  accomodate  wheelchairs, 
as  well  as  persuading  employers  to  participate.  Tom 
enlisted  parents,  community  volunteers,  college  interns 
and  professional  therapists  to  provide  the  individual 
support  students  needed  in  his  program. 

According  to  Ronald  Miller,  principal  of  P.S.  138, 
"Scores  of  disabled  students  today  have  a  greater  sense  of 
dignity  because  of  Tom's  relentless  determination. 
Hundreds  of  non-disabled  students  and  community 
members  also  better  understand  their  disabled  peers.  He 
has  helped  both  groups  discover  friendship  and  mutual 
respect." 

Tom  was  born  and  raised  in  Astoria,  and  still  lives  there. 
He  graduated  from  St.  Joseph's  College,  has  a  master's 
degree  in  education  from  Fordham  and  a  certificate  in 
Administration  and  Supervision  from  Hunter  College. 
He  is  married  and  has  four  children,  ages  9,  7,  5  and  2. 
Tom  is  a  Euchai  istic  Minister  in  his  parish,  member  of  the 
New  York  Public  Library  Outreach  Services  Committee, 
the  Association  for  Persons  with  Severe  Handicaps,  and 
the  Self  Advocacy  Association. 

Tom  says  of  his  work:  "I  have  used  the  gifts  God  has 
given  me  to  improve  the  quality  of  life  of  individuals  with 
disabilities  and  their  families.  Through  the  Community 
Integration  Program  developed  at  my  school,  with  my 
colleagues,  I  have  helped  provide  opportunities  for 
students  with  severe  disabilities  to  participate  more  fully 
in  their  community  through  recreation,  learning  and 
work  activities.  As  a  result,  my  students,  and  their  non- 
disabled  peers,  have  been  able  to  share  in  the  love  and 
beauty  of  friendship." 


Active  Retiree 


Evelyn  Marzano  Corcoran  has  always  been  a  go-getter 
who  likes  hard  work.  In  her  positions  as  teacher,  art 
director,  sales  manager  and  fashion  consultant,  she  was 
indefatigible. 

Since  her  retirement  in  1987,  Evelyn  has  been  taking 
classes,  doing  volunteer  work  and  serving  on  citizens 
committees. 

Not  long  ago,  in  the  local  Third  Age  newspaper, 
Evelyn  saw  that  applications  were  being  accepted  for  a 
Senior  Intern  program  assisting  members  of  the  state 
legislature.  She  raced  to  the  office  to  get  her  resume  in 
under  the  wire  and  received  a  two-month  appointment 
as  a  Legislative  Senior  Intern   for  the  21st   District 


Representative,  Jeannette  Wood. 

The  Senior  Intern  Program  has  been  running  since 
1981.  This  year  more  than  235  seniors  applied  for  15 
slots.  Evelyn  was  accepted  on  the  basis  of  her  application 
and  a  personal  interview.  luteins  are  not  secretaries. 
They  sit  in  at  meetings,  do  research,  handle  the 
Legislature's  hot  line  and  attend  committee  meetings. 

Competition  is  fierce  for  these  two-to-three  month 
positions.  Evelyn  would  like  to  return  for  another 
internship  but  it's  one  to  a  customer.  "It  was  one  of  the 
high  points  of  my  life  to  be  a  pan  ol  the  sessions  in  the 
House  Chambers,"  Evelyn  said.  "I'd  recommend  it  for 
those  who  like  to  work." 


New  Challenges 


Improving  Reading 


Sister  Ann  McCarthy,  CSJ  '65 


The  Diocese  of  Albany  has  named  Sister  Ann  McCarthy 
CSJ  to  be  Superintendent  of  Schools  effective  July  1, 1990. 
She  has  been  principal  of  Bishop  Kearney  High  School  for 
the  past  ten  years  and  previously  served  the  diocese  as 
assistant  superintendent  for  instruction  and  supervision 
from  1976  to  1978  and  as  associate  superintendent  from 
1978  to  1980. 

During  her  tenure  at  Kearney,  Sr.  Ann  restructured  the 
Guidance  Department  to  take  care  of  health  needs,  both 
physical  and  emotional,  of  the  students.  A  family 
counselor,  personal  counselors,  a  school  nurse  and  a  sex- 
education  consultant  nurse  work  together  for  the  benefit 
of  students  and  parents. 

Sister  enlarged  the  Fine  Arts  Department.  This  year  the 
Music  Department,  which  has  a  regular  band,  started  a 
marching  band.  Mary  Corcoran,  a  music  teacher,  with  the 
help  of  Sister  Barbara  Lynch,  CSJ,  puts  the  band  members 
through  their  paces.  The  girls  love  it  although  it  requires 
much  time,  energy  and  discipline,  but  each  feels  it  an 
honor  to  be  a  part  of  the  various  city  parades. 

An  Honors  Program  was  started  by  Sister  Ann  and 
Latin  was  re-introduced  into  the  curriculum.  Those  who 
take  it  love  it.  This  year  Nancy  Cribbin,  a  freshman,  had  a 
perfect  score  in  the  National  Latin  Examination  given  by 
the  Classical  Society.  Honors  students  can  be  in  the  new 
Bridge  Program,  similar  to  and  replacing  the  Save- A- Year 
program.  Students  take  advance  placement  courses  and 
the  credits  received  are  accepted  by  St.  Joseph's  College  as 
well  as  some  other  colleges. 

In  the  Development  Office  started  by  Sister  Ann,  we  find 
Sister  Virginia  Lake  in  charge  of  Public  Relations.  She 
photographs  and  reports  all  school  events  and  news 
related  to  the  school  for  newspapers  in  the  area.  She  has 
been  very  successful  in  getting  good  press  for  Bishop 
Kearney.  Parents,  students,  faculty  and  staff  take  pride  in 
reading  about  their  school! 

Kearney  seniors  do  extremely  well  in  receiving  honors, 
medals  and  scholarships.  This  year  three  graduates 
received  New  York  State  Empire  Scholarships,  which  are 
awarded  solely  on  scholastic  scores.  Sister  points  out  that 
these  were  three  out  of  seven  awards  made  to  Brooklyn 
diocesan  high  schools  -  a  tribute  to  wonderful  teachers  and 
wonderful  students. 

In  1981  Bishop  Kearney  High  School  became  the  first 
community  school  in  which  lay  people  were  hired  for 
administrative  positions.  Dr.  Gregory  Rossicone  (husband 
of  Jo  Nunziata  Rossicone  70)  is  Associate  Principal  and 
Susan  Burke  '68  is  Assistant  Principal. 

"These  have  been  ten  good  years,"  says  Sister.  "I've  seen 
many  of  my  goals  accomplished  and  it's  time  to  move  on 
to  new  challenges." 


Joan  Hunter  De  Olivera  '49 

Joan  Hunter  De  Oliveira,  '49,  had  come  belatedly  to 
teaching.  After  three  years  working  for  Western  Electric  in 
Winston-Salem,  NC,  and  a  stint  at  Radio  Station  WAIR 
writing  advertising  copy,  Joan  went  to  Korea  and  Japan 
where  she  worked  for  the  Red  Cross  in  recreation,  for 
seventeen  months,  until  the  end  of  the  Korean  war. 

On  her  return  to  the  United  States,  Joan  read  that 
schools  were  desperately  in  need  of  teachers.  She  entered 
the  Intensive  Teacher  Training  Program  for  college 
graduates  at  SUNY  on  Long  Island.  In  September  1955, 
Joan  began  teaching  second  grade  in  West  Islip. 

Joan  met  Joseph  De.  Oliveira  in  the  West  Islip  High 
School  cafeteria  in  September  1956.  They  were  married 
three  years  later.  From  then  on,  with  the  exception  of  a 
brief  semester  in  Captree  School  teaching  first  grade,  Joan 
stayed  home  to  care  for  their  seven  children  born  in  rapid 
succession  between  1960  and  1970. 

The  dismaying  media  reports  on  the  poor  reading 
scores  of  high  school  students  were  very  real  to  Joe,  who 
encountered  these  poor  readers  in  his  high  school 
literature  classes,  some  with  scores  as  low  as  first  grade.  He 
felt  that  the  fault  lay  with  the  poor  teaching  of  reading  and 
the  "new"  teaching  methods  in  the  lower  grades.  With 
Joan's  encouragement  and  aid,  he  undertook  to  remedy 
the  situation  in  a  practical  way.  He  enrolled  in  courses  in 
the  teaching  of  reading  and  began  tutoring  students  after 
school  and  on  Saturdays. 

In  1965  the  Reading  Improvement  Center  was  opened 
in  the  De  Oliveira  home.  In  a  short  time  more  than  forty 
students  were  coming  for  weekly  instructions,  and  several 
capable  teachers  were  engaged.  Joe  trained  and  supervised 
them  while  he  continued  his  graduate  studies  (he  earned  a 
doctoral  degree  in  Educational  leadership  in  1975)  and 
taught  English  full  time  in  high  school. 

With  five  children  in  the  house  under  the  age  of  six,  and 
the  patter  of  little  feet  overhead,  Joe  concluded  that  a 
professional  location  would  be  more  appropriate  for  the 
Center.  Just  after  Joan  came  home  from  the  hospital  with 
Janine,  baby  number  six,  telephones  were  being  installed 
in  their  new  office  on  Main  Street,  East  Islip,  with  a 
"private  line"  intercom  to  the  house  a  mile  away,  so  that 
Joan  could  continue  to  answer  the  phone  during  the  day. 

Their  children  evidently  had  no  reading  difficulties. 
The  two  youngest  are  in  college,  Janine  at  Providence,  RI, 
and  Julianne  at  St.  Francis  in  Loretto,  PA.  Joanne 
Schechter,  29,  the  oldest,  is  working  for  her  husband, 
Larry,  in  multi-level  marketing.  Joanne  and  the  three 
boys  are  graduates  of  Le  Moyne  College  in  Syracuse.

Doubly 


Barbara  Oddo  '86GS 


During  her  senior  year  at  Grover  Cleveland  High 
School,  Barbara  Oddo  grew  increasingly  discontent  with 
the  prospects  of  her  future.  She  could  not  foresee  the  day, 
nearly  17  years  later,  when  she  would  realize  her  dream  of 
becoming  a  practicing  attorney. 

Barbara  grew  up  in  a  housing  project  of  Manhattan's 
lower  east  side  and  moved  with  her  family  to  Queens,  at 
the  age  of  eleven.  She  remembered  the  negative  reaction  of 
her  family  when  she  first  expressed  a  desire  to  attend 
college  after  graduation.  "I  grew  up  in  an  environment 
where  graduating  from  high  school  was  an  achievement 
in  itself.  A  college  education,  especially  for  a  woman,  was 
considered  a  frivilous  venture."  Succumbing  to  the  wishes 
of  her  family,  Barbara  went  to  work  after  her  high  school 
graduation.  She  began  her  career  as  a  receptionist  for  a  law 
firm,  and  later  took  a  position  in  a  nursing  home  as  a 
nurses'  aide. 

Although  she  enjoyed  her  work,  Barbara  was  not 
content.  Something  was  missing  from  her  life  and  that 
something  was  an  education-the  key  to  professionalism. 
In  1976,  she  enrolled  in  Kingsborough  Community 
College  in  Brooklyn  and  earned  an  Associate  Degree  in 
Nursing  in  1979.  For  the  next  two  years,  she  worked  as  a 
registered  nurse  at  Lutheran  Medical  Center. 

In  1981 ,  she  left  bedside  nursing  and  took  a  position  as  a 
medical  review  coordinator  with  the  Kings  County  Health 


Care  Review  Organization.  Her  responsibilities  included 
reviewing  hospital  medical  records  and  imposing  fiscal 
penalties  for  failure  to  comply  with  Medicare  and 
Medicaid  regulations. 

In  1983  Barbara  joined  the  utilization  staff  at  Hospital 
for  Joint  Diseases  Orthopaedic  Institute.  There  she  met 
Eleanor  Taylor,  Director  of  the  Department.  Ellie,  a 
graduate  of  the  General  Studies  Division  of  St.  Joseph's 
College,  encouraged  Barbara  to  continue  her  education. 
As  a  result,  Barbara  received  a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree 
in  Health  Administration  from  St.  Joseph's  in  1986. 

While  attending  St.  Joseph's,  Barbara  took  a  Business 
Law  course  taught  by  Professor  Hugh  Snow.  Influenced 
by  his  sense  of  professionalism  and  her  unquenched 
ambition  to  be  an  attorney,  Barbara  applied  and  was 
accepted  by  New  York  Law  School  in  1986.  She  earned  a 
Juris  Doctor  degree  and  in  1989  was  admitted  to  the  New 
York  State  Bar. 

Barbara  is  currently  working  as  a  medical  malpractice 
attorney  with  the  law  firm  of  Wilson  Elser  Moskowitz 
Edelman  8c  Dicker,  but  will  soon  be  taking  a  position  with 
the  New  York  City  Health  and  Hospital  Corporation  in 
their  Case  Mix  Management  Division.  Her  position  with 
HHC  will  involve  close  contact  with  the  1 1  city  hospitals 
and  5  nursing  homes,  in  an  effort  to  assist  them  in 
reducing  losses. 


Improving  Reading,  continued 

Touro  Law  School  has  her  own  law  practice  in 
Albuquerque,  NM,  where  they  live.  Joseph,  26,  has  his 
own  business  in  multi-media  productions  in  the  Boston 
area.  John,  25,  is  a  computer  programmer  for  Stratus 
Corporation  in  Marlboro,  MA.  He  will  soon  leave  for  a  job 
in  Hamilton,  Bermuda,  to  work  for  the  Bank  of  Bermuda. 
James,  23,  works  at  the  Hyatt  Hotel  in  Manhattan,  also  in 
multi-media  productions. 

The  Reading  Center  continues  to  be  a  big  part  of  the  De 
Oleivera's  lives.  Because  of  the  time  it  takes  to  keep  the 


household  going,  Joan  has  a  secretary  to  help  manage  the 
office  and  to  do  scheduling,  reports  and  bookkeeping. 
With  the  children  gone  most  of  the  time,  Joan  and  Joe 
devote  time  to  the  local  Chamber  of  Commerce,  trips  to 
their  home  in  the  Poconos,  and  travel.  In  recent  years  they 
have  taken  vacations  in  Portugal  and  Spain,  California  (to 
visit  Joan's  sister,  Anne  Hunter  Tubridy  '53),  to  Ireland  in 
July  1989  and  to  the  Balloon  Fiesta  in  Albuquerque  last 
October.  They  are  looking  forward  to  full  retirement, 
perhaps  in  New  Mexico  where  the  winters  are  a  bit  easier. 


Three  Phonathons  in  '90 


Phonathon  1990  was  different.  For  the  first  time,  we 
used  computer-generated  phonathon  sheets  -  a  trial  run. 
But  our  volunteers  weren't  fazed!  After  reviewing  the  new 
form  and  receiving  instructions,  they  went  right  to  work 
with  their  usual  good-will  and  cheerfulness  and  racked  up 
$40,867  in  pledges  at  the  Garden  City  site. 

Our  volunteers  at  the  General  Studies  phonathon,  held 
on  April  3rd,  in  their  building  at  265  Clinton  Avenue  drew 
pledges  in  the  amount  of  $4,340.  This  is  excellent 
considering  that  they  had  far  fewer  phones  than  we  had  at 
Garden  City. 

The  Patchogue  campus  held  its  phonathon  on  April  23 
using  all  available  phones  and  raised  $3,810,  another  great 
showing.  We  are  indebted  to  all  the  volunteers  whom  we 
list  below.

Asked  whether  any  alumni/ae  fail  to  honor  their 
commitments,  we  assessed  last  year's  records.  433  members 
failed  to  fulfill  their  pledges  by  June  30,  1989.  We  believe 
there  was  a  reason,  an  unforeseen  obligation  that  took 
priority  over  these  pledges.  In  some  cases  it  was  just  an 
oversight  and  some  were  paid  after  that  date.  However,  we 
always  appreciate  it  when  we  are  advised  of  inability  to 
honor  these  pledges,  so  that  we  do  not  carry  them  on  our 
books  for  further  reminders.  (Alumni  ae  should  not  feel 
obligated  to  make  a  pledge  at  phonothon  and  should  not 
do  so  if  they  cannot  or  will  not  follow  through.) 

When  our  Alumni  Fund  was  first  inaugurated  in  1966, 
after  our  first  capital  funds  campaign  for  the  McEntegart 
Library,  Sister  Virginia  Therese  Callahan,  then  Director 
of  Development,  using  guidelines  of  other  fund-raising 
colleges,  determined  that  $25.00  from  each  alumna  was  a 
fair  share.  Many  alumnae  began  their  annual  giving  of 
that  amount  to  the  Alumni  Fund.  Some  gave  more  and 
those  who  could  not  give  the  "fair  share"  were  asked  to 
give  something  each  year  in  order  to  yield  a  good 
percentage  figure  because  corporations,  foundations  and 
businesses  look  at  that  figure  when  we  approach  them  for 
aid.  It  is  an  indication  of  alumni  loyalty.  As  you  probably 
noted  from  the  Donor  Report  of  last  year,  that  figure  was 
23%.  We  hope  that  non-givers  will  help  us  to  raise  this 
considerably  next  year,  our  Diamond  Jubilee  year. 

When  the  Alumni  Association  was  first  formed  in  the 
early  '20's,  dues  were  set  to  cover  the  modest  costs  of 
maintenance  and  mailings,  as  well  as  publication  of 
alumnae  news.  These  costs  have  increased  as  the  number 
of  alumnae/i  has  increased.  We  believe  that  each  graduate 
should  consider  these  facts  and  help  as  much  as  possible 
by  giving  annually.

The  Class  of  '27  sends  congratulations  to  Mary  St.  John  Murphy  as 
recipient  of  her  Honorary  Degree  from  the  College,  on  June  8th.  Since  our 
last  issue,  we  have  lost  our  beloved  Anne  Schrage  who  was  always  an 
inspiration  to  us  May  she  be  at  perfect  peace  Josephine  Welden  McBrlde 
had  a  stay  in  the  hospital  but  is  "hanging  in  there."  She  reports  two  new 
great-grandchildren,  the  seventh  is  a  girl  and  the  eighth  is  a  boy  She  has 
18  grandchildren  and  8  great-grandchildren  "Do  hope  and  pray  that  the 
New  Horizons  Campaign  is  a  success."  she  writes.  Alice  Gallagher  is 
rejoicing  that  Spring  is  here,  saying  that  the  first  robin,  daffodil  and  crocus 
are  looking  good  to  her.  Marie  Savino  Degnan  is  "blessed  with  a  wonderful 
family"  Her  son  is  still  in  "show  biz"  and  her  six  grandchildren  are  a  joy-

1928 


Although  some  of  our  classmates  have  been  ill  this  winter,  they  send  news 
of  general  improvement  Helen  Callahan  Brink,  recovered  from  her  recent 
stroke,  has  moved  to  a  Carmelite  residence  in  Connecticut,  is  in  good 
spirits  and  would  like  to  hear  from  friends.  Mary  Keller  Lawlor  also  suffered 
a  stroke  in  April  but  after  a  stay  at  Nyack  Hospital  and  at  the  Helen  Hayes 
Rehab  Center  is  now  at  home  getting  back  to  her  old  self  with  the  help  of  a 
home  therapist  and  very  attentive  family.  John  and  Reglna  Peppard

Comerford  still  travels  in  her  wheel  chair  and  finds  no  difficulty  "driving"  to 


chapel  out  of  doors  She  attended  the  wedding  of  her  niece  in  Connecticut 
in  May  Agnes  is  a  member  of  the  Daughters  of  the  Heart  of  Mary  who  are 
now  celebrating  their  200th  anniversary.  She  comments  on  the  modern 
attitude  of  the  founders  who.  because  of  conditions  in  France,  where  they 
originated,  started  this  religious  order  which  bore  none  of  the  usual 
outward  signs  -  no  title,  no  convent,  no  habit,  no  cloister  -  yet  had  the 
approval  of  the  church.  At  the  annual  Smith's  Easter  wing-ding  in

happy  years  at  St.  Joseph's  "Those  who  remember  my  mother  know  what 
a  comedian  she  could  be  Although  she  suffered  from  short-term  memory 
loss,  she  knew  her  condition  was  terminal,  but  she  never  let  that  reality  get 
her  depressed,"  writes  Margo.  "She  was  entertaining  and  spontaneous 
until  days  before  she  died  I  had  promised  her  I  wouldn't  put  her  in  a 
Nursing  Home  because  she  wanted  to  die  in  her  own  home  'by  the  sea'  I 
was  able  to  keep  this  promise  because  I'm  an  R.N..  .  I'm  enclosing  a  gift  in

send  a  card  or  note  to  Anne  send  it  to  me  with  her  name  in  parenthesis  on 
the  second  line  and  I  will  forward  it  to  Joan  Although  Kay  Frey  Lynch  and

the  Spring  Luncheon  which  Mary  Kearney,  Mary  Phelan  and  I  attended,

special  honor  to  be  bestowed  on  her  husband,  John  He  received  the

saddened  at  the  news  of  the  death  of  Rev.  John  Ansbro,  brother  of  Kathlyn 
Ansbro  Wurts  The  Ansbro  family  was  blessed  for  many  years  with  two 
priests  and  one  remains  to  continue  his  service  and  dedication.  We  will 
have  our  own  Mass  for  deceased  classmates  in  September  -  so  please  don't 
make  any  plans  to  go  to  California  or  Greece  or  the  moon,  until  you  hear 


from  me  In  between  times,  I  will  be  bedazzled  by  the  sights  of  the 
Canadian  Northwest,  Banff,  Lake  Louise,  etc.  etc.  I  think  I  must  be  the  last 
one  to  visit  that  scenic  area.  Au  voir!

It  was  with  deep  sorrow  that  we  learned  of  the  death  of  Isabel  Farrell  on 
March  24th.  She  had  been  suffering  for  the  past  few  years  but  continued  to 
be  her  happy  self  and  tried  to  participate  in  all  her  normal  activities.  We 
could  always  depend  upon  Isabel  Mass  of  the  Resurrection  was 
celebrated  by  Bishop  McGann  at  St  Agnes  Cathedral  in  Rockville  Center 
and  his  eulogy  was  a  beautiful  tribute  to  Isabel  She  will  be  greatly  missed.

brought  back  fond  memories  of  his  religion  classes  Mary  Pinter  Brandes

chaired  the  event,  to  find  someone  who  might  be  coming  from  that  area, 
but  to  no  avail  Ethel  spent  her  childhood  and  part  of  her  married  life  in

I  visited  by  telephone  two  of  our  classmates  recently.  Three  years  ago, 
Joan  Byrne  Gibilaro  moved  from  Brooklyn  to  Windham,  NY,  when  her 
husband  retired.  The  family,  four  children  and  three  grandsons,  had 
vacationed  in  that  area  for  many  years  Although  she  misses  the  big  city 
hustle,  Joan  finds  the  countryside  beautiful  and  life  very  peaceful.  In 
October  1 989,  when  Anne  McDonald  McCully  returned  from  her  summer 
home  in  Damariscotta,  ME,  to  her  winter  quarters  on  the  Isle  of  Palms 
outside  Charleston,  she  faced  the  devastation  of  Hurricane  Hugo.  She  and 
her  neighbors  have  worked  hard  to  repair  the  damage.  Anne's  older  sister, 
Betty,  died  on  March  16th  and  we  offer  our  sympathy  to  Anne  and  the 
family.  Anne's  son  is  the  curator  of  the  Army  Museum  at  Fort  Dix,  daughter, 
Annette,  teaches  at  Glassboro  College.  Mary  Burns  Qulnn  and  Annette 
Nolan  attended  the  dedication  of  the  Callahan  Library  on  the  Patchogue 
Campus  on  May  1st.  The  only  representatives  of  '44  at  the  Spring 
Luncheon  were  Mary  Bennett  Burke  and  Rosemary  Chrlstman  Casey  A 
note  from  Eileen  Kelley  Coulter  and  Robert  reads:  "Kindly  pray  for  the 
repose  of  the  soul  of  our  special  angel  daughter,  Karen  Maureen.  She 
passed  away  peacefully  on  November  18, 1989."  The  Coulters  live  in  Tom's 
River.  New  Jersey  Jeanne  Russell  Scova  writes  that  she  retired  from 
teaching  in  the  Clarkston  School  District  (NY)  after  31  years,  29  of  which 
were  teaching  Special  Education.  Her  last  year  was  spent  on  a  pilot 
program  in  which  she  set  up  a  computer  lab  for  learning  disabled  students 
in  the  senior  high  It  was  open  all  8  periods  a  day  and  the  students  were 
able  to  come  in  and  do  their  homework  and  other  assignments  whenever 
they  had  a  free  period.  The  English  teachers  also  made  use  of  the  room  for 
teaching  students  written  expression.  The  program  went  well  and  the 
district  had  her  back  this  year  as  a  computer  consultant  to  continue  the 
program.  Next  year  they  want  her  to  set  up  the  program  in  our  second  high 
school.  Jeanne's  youngest  daughter.  Sara,  has  become  a  paralegal  and 
likes  it  so  well  that  she  has  decided  to  become  a  lawyer  She  figures  she'll 
get  her  degree  in  6  years.  Sue  and  Sarah  still  live  at  home  and  are  great 
travellers.  They  plan  to  go  to  Moscow,  Rome  and  London  in  July,  together 
with  their  uncle  Brother  Peter  Russell,  CFX.  Jeanne's  married  daughter, 
Maryanne  Davanzo  and  her  husband.  Mike,  bought  a  house  last  year  and 
find  the  experience  delightful  Mim  has  a  built-in  decorating  ability  and  has 
done  a  fantastic  job  decorating.  She  found  a  "hoosier"  antique  kitchen 
cupboard  with  a  pull  out  work  space  at  a  flea  market  and  it  looks  great  in 
the  kitchen.  We  extend  our  sympathy  to  Mary  Bennett  Burke  on  the  death 
of  her  mother,  Marguerite  Bennett.

I  (Barbara  Frohnhofer  Feldman)  received  a  pleasant  phone  call  from 
Carole  Rooney  recently.  Carole  has  been  in  data-processing  in  NYC  for 
twenty  years  and  is  very  active  in  her  professional  association.  However 
there  is  a  possibility  of  a  career  change  to  selling  financial  products 
Although  this  profession  is  along  the  same  lines,  she  finds  that  getting 
back  to  the  books  is  quite  a  change.  For  many  years  Carole  has  been 
actively  involved  in  St.  Agnes  Parish,  a  business  parish  in  midtown 
Manhattan,  and  is  coordinating  a  huge  celebration  in  honor  of  the  fortieth 
anniversary  of  a  priest  of  her  parish.  She  has  chaired  so  many  parish 
activities  in  the  past  that  she  easily  handles  all  the  work  involved  and  still 
finds  time  to  work  in  the  parish  soup  kitchen.  Carol  gave  me  Gabrielle 
Tlnley  McDonough's  phone  number  For  the  past  twelve  years,  Gabrielle 
has  been  teaching  sixth  grade  at  Resurrection-Ascension  parish  school 
and  loves  it.  Her  son,  Kevin,  is  in  the  medical  school  at  the  University 
College  in  Galway,  Ireland  and  will  finish  in  two  years.  Son.  Brian,  is 
finishing  up  at  Fordham  University  and  working  as  a  teacher's  aide  in 
Archbishop  Molloy  as  well  Gaby  and  her  husband  purchased  a  piece  of 
land  in  Westchester  County  and  now  divide  their  time  between  Queens 
and  Cross  River.  It  was  so  much  fun  getting  all  this  news  and  I  hope  to  hear
