1937 

Published  by  the  Senior  Class 

ST.   JOSEPH'S    COLLEGE    FOR   WOMEN 
Brooklyn  New  York 


Anon  to  Midden  silence  won, 

In  fancy  they  pursue 
The  dream-child  moving  through  a  land 

Of  wonders  wild  and  new, 
In  friendly  chat  with  bird  or  beast — 

And  half  believe  it  true. 


And  ever  as  the  story  drained 

The  wells  of  fancy  dry, 
And  faintly  strove  that  w7eary  one 

To  put  the  subject  by, 
"The  rest  next  time — "  "It  is  next  time!" 

The  happy  voices  cry. 


Thus  grew  the  tale  of  Wonderland  : 

Thus  slowly,  one  by  one, 
Its  quaint  events  were  hammered  out- 

And  now  the  tale  is  done, 
And  home  we  steer,  a  merry  crew, 

Beneath  the  setting  sun. 


Alice !  A  childish  story  take, 

And  with  a  gentle  hand, 
Lay  it  where  Childhood's  dreams  are  twined 

In  Memory's  mystic  band, 
Like  pilgrim's  wither'd  wreath  of  flowers 

Pluck'd  in  a  far-off  land. 


—"Alice  in  Wonderland." 


Dedication 


Among  the  manifold  duties  of  a  busy  life,  Monsignor 
David  Hickey  found  time  to  serve  as  Vice-President  of  St. 
Joseph's  College.  In  this  capacity  he  proved  himself  a  loyal 
and  interested  friend  at  all  times.  To  him,  therefore,  the 
Class  of  1937  respectfully  dedicates  this  book,  hoping  that 
the  work  he  did  will  not  soon  be  forgotten. 


Contents 


The  book  is  divided  up  into  several  sections.  There  are 
views  of  the  college.  The  Faculty  has  its  part.  Each  graduate 
has  her  place  in  a  section  which  also  includes  literature 
contributed  by  members  of  the  Senior  Class.  Undergraduates 
are  grouped  according  to  class  with  representative  pictures, 
reports  and  articles.  We  have  devoted  space  to  the  system  of 
Student  Administration  found  here.  And,  of  course,  the 
social  activities  were  not  neglected.  Finally,  there  is  the 
Directory  of  Students  and  Alumnae,  and  the  advertising 
follows.

A  tale  begun  in  other  days. 

When  summer  suns  were  glowing — 
A  simple  chime,  that  served  to  time 

The  rhythm  of  our  rowing — 
Whose  echoes  live  in  memory  yet, 
Though  envious  years  would  say  'forget. 

And,  though  the  shadow  of  a  sigh 
May  tremble  through  the  story, 

For  'happy  summer  days'  gone  by, 
And  vanish'd  summer  glory — 

It  shall  not  touch,  with  breath  of  bale, 

The  pleasance  of  our  fairy-tale.

Her  sister  sat  just  as  she  left  her,  leaning  her  head  on  her  hand, 
watching  the  setting  sun,  and  thinking  of  little  Alice  and  all  her  wonder- 
ful Adventures,  till  she  too  began  dreaming  after  a  fashion,  and  this  was 
her  dream : 

First,  she  dreamed  about  little  Alice  herself — and  still  as  she  listened 
or  seemed  to  listen,  the  whole  place  around  her  became  alive  with  the 
strange  creatures  of  her  little  sister's  dream. 

The  long  grass  rustled  at  her  feet  as  the  White  Rabbit  hurried  by — 
the  frightened  Mouse  splashed  his  way  through  the  neighboring  pool — 
she  could  hear  the  rattle  of  the  teacups  as  the  March  Hare  and  his  friends 
shared  their  never-ending  meal,  and  the  shrill  voice  of  the  Queen  ordering 
off  her  unfortunate  guests  to  execution — once  more  the  pig-baby  was 
sneezing  on  the  Duchess's  knee,  while  plates  and  dishes  crashed  around  it 
— once  more  the  shriek  of  the  Gryphon,  the  squeaking  of  the  Lizard's 
slate-pencil,  and  the  choking  of  the  suppressed  guinea-pigs,  filled  the  air, 
mixed  up  with  the  distant  sob  of  the  miserable  Mock  Turtle. 

So  she  sat  on,  with  closed  eyes,  and  half  believed  herself  in  Wonder- 
land, though  she  knew  she  had  but  to  open  them  again,  and  all  would 
change  to  dull  reality.

For  some  minutes  Alice  stood  without  speaking,  looking  out  in  all 
directions  over  the  country — and  a  most  curious  country  it  was.  There 
were  a  number  of  tiny  little  brooks  running  straight  across  it  from  side 
to  side,  and  the  ground  between  was  divided  up  into  squares  by  a  number 
of  little  green  hedges,  that  reached  from  brook  to  brook. 

"I  declare,  it's  marked  out  just  like  a  large  chessboard !"  Alice  said  at 
last.  "There  ought  to  be  some  men  moving  about  somewhere — and  so 
there  are!"  she  added  in  a  tone  of  delight,  and  her  heart  began  to  beat 
quick  with  excitement  as  she  went  on.  "It's  a  great  huge  game  of  chess 
that's  being  played — all  over  the  world — if  this  is  the  world  at  all,  you 
know.  Oh,  what  fun  it  is!  How  I  wish  I  was  one  of  them!  I  wouldn't 
mind  being  a  Pawn,  if  only  I  might  join — though  of  course  I  should  like 
to  be  a  Queen,  best." 

Her  companion  only  smiled  pleasantly,  and  said,  "That's  easily 
managed.  When  you  get  to  the  Eighth  Square  you'll  be  Queen "

Mary  Hundley 

She  started  out  eagerly  with  the  Class  of  '37, 
but  was  permitted  to  travel  what  seemed  so  short 
a  distance  before  she  was  called  away.  To  us,  who 
were  just  beginning  to  know  her,  the  news  of  her 
death  came  as  a  profound  shock.  We  think  of  her 
now  as  we  near  the  goal  toward  which  she  had 
turned  her  eyes. 

'Whom  the  gods  love  die  young,'  was  said  of  yore, 
And  many  deaths  do  they  escape  by  this.

s  dint     Joseph's     college 


Valedictory 

Caught  in  the  web  of  fancy,  our  eyes  filled  with  the  dust  of  stars,  we  have  looked 
forward  to  this  day.  Now  that  web  lies  broken  at  our  feet;  we  face  a  cold  reality.  Our 
wish  is  about  to  be  realized. 

Would  that  we  could  always  live  in  a  world  of  dreams  where  everything  turned 
out  just  as  we  wished.  Would  that  we  had  a  magic  ring  to  make  our  hopes  come  true. 
We  recognize  that  conditions  are  not  so  ominous  for  us  as  they  were  for  our  fellow 
students  who  have  graduated  in  the  last  few  years.  Still  the  situation  is  not  an  ideal  one  ; 
we  must  face  the  facts. 

The  happy  thought  comes  that  perhaps  each  and  every  one  has  a  magic  talent  in 
his  make-up  which  can  bring  him  success.  The  longer  we  dwell  on  this  idea,  the  more 
we  realize  that  this  is  no  idle  fancy.  It  is  an  actuality.  God  does  not  lavish  His  gifts  on 
one.  To  each  He  gives  at  least  one  talent  which  differentiates  that  one  from  every  one 
of  his  fellow-creatures.  It  is  our  task  to  find  this  talent  and  to  make  use  of  it.  Herein 
will  lie  the  key  to  the  art  of  being  different,  the  secret  to  success. 

Perhaps  our  gift  lies  in  seeing  sense  where  others  see  only  nonsense;  in  finding  that 
golden  opportunity  where  others  can  find  only  dismal  failure;  in  seeing  light  where 
others  see  only  darkness;  in  finding  the  answer  to  a  problem  in  which  others  cannot  get 
beyond  the  question.  Perhaps  we  are  not  so  gifted.  For  the  majority  of  us,  I  think,  our 
talent  is  the  doing  of  the  ordinary  things  extraordinarily  well.  Perhaps  our  destiny  leads 
us  to  accomplish  things  which  others  would  not  risk  trying,  to  finish  tasks  which  others 
shirk.  If  we  refuse  to  take  the  risk,  if  we  play  the  shirker,  our  golden  opportunity  will 
pass  by;  we  shall  have  missed  our  chance.  An  apt  illustration  of  this  is  the  old  story  of 
Archias,  King  of  Syracuse. 

Once  upon  a  midnight  dreary,  Archias,  King  of  Syracuse,  stole  from  his  palace. 
Concealing  his  features  with  a  somber  mantle,  he  made  his  way  to  the  city  gate.  Here 
the  king  rolled  a  large  stone  from  the  roadside  and  hastily  buried  it,  half  helow  the 
surface  and  half  above,  directly  in  the  narrow  roadway. 

With  the  unfastening  of  the  gates  at  dawn,  began  the  exodus  of  peasants  to  the 
fields,  of  merchants  and  travelers.  Every  wagon  that  passed  jogged  over  the  stone, 
horses  stumbled,  men  stubbed  their  feet.  The  same  words  were  on  all  their  lips:  "Why 
doesn't  someone  remove  that  stone  ?' 

People  passed  and  blundered  throughout  the  day,  and  the  return  of  the  workers  at 
sundown  found  the  obstacle  intact  in  their  path.  With  surprised  indignation,  everyone 
repeated  as  he  passed  on,  "Why  doesn't  someone  remove  that  stone?" 

Swiftly  approached  the  day  set  by  the  king  when  he  would  appoint  the  new  chan- 
cellor. He  had  sworn  by  Zeus  to  select  a  man  of  true  worth.  Yet  he  maintained  he  did 
not  know  who  that  one  would  be,  even  at  this  mature  time. 

The  festive  morn  for  the  appointment  arrived,  and  among  the  holiday  crowd  throng- 
ing the  gate  was  the  gallant  Prince  Mentor,  youngest  son  of  the  neighboring  King  of 
Crete.  The  fateful  stone  was  causing  great  furor.  The  prince  was  amused  and  stood 
off  by  the  roadside  to  enjoy  the  sport.  Over  and  over  he  heard  the  whining  complaint, 
"Why  doesn't  someone  remove  that  stone?" 

At  last  the  prince  laughed  and  stepping  forward,  he  loosened  the  stone  and  rolled 
it  from  the  roadway.  The  removal  of  the  stone  disclosed  a  parchment  bearing  the 
King's  seal.  On  it  were  inscribed  these  words,  "Who  removes  this  stone  shall  be  Chan- 
cellor of  Syracuse — one  fit  to  serve  his  fellow  men." 

Frankly,  would  we  have  been  among  the  complainers,  or  would  we  have  done  what 
the  others  were  too  lazy  to  do?  If  we  choose  to  play  the  mediocre  part,  our  college  edu- 
cation has  missed  its  mark  ;  we  have  passed  our  talent  by.  We  must  choose  the  higher 
things  where  "the  mind  is  filled  with  joy  alone  nor  hath  sadness  any  part  therein."  This 
is  to  be  the  prize  alone.  This  is  to  be  sought  for  with  all  our  might.

Walter  de  la  Mare,  Maker  of  Dreams 

If  hat  can  a  tired  heart  say. 

If  huh  tin-  wise  of  the  world  have  made  dumb? 
Save  to  the  lonely  dreams  of  a  child, 
Return  again,  cornel 

A  man  looked  at  a  cloud  one  day  and  saw  in  it  a  dream.  He  reached  out  his  hand 
and  sought  to  retain  it,  for  it  was  a  beautiful,  colorful  thing.  But  dreams  are  not  for 
the  worldly-wise,  they  are  the  heritage  of  youth.  And  so  this  man  stood  still  for  a 
moment  and  then  he  spoke.  "I  shall  take  this  dream,"  he  said.  "1  shall  multiply  it  a 
thousandfold  and  make  a  land  of  dreams.  Then  I  shall  call  all  children  to  me  and  say 
to  them,  'Return,  children,  return  to  the  land  of  dreams.'  " 

Thus  it  was  that  Walter  de  la  Mare,  with  his  body  on  earth  and  his  heart  in  a 
star,  became  the  poet  of  dreams  and  the  dreamer  of  beauty.  Quietly,  lovingly,  fearing 
no  criticism  and  desiring  no  applause,  he  set  about  his  work  of  reviving  dreams.  He  had 
a  gift  for  revealing  the  romance  of  innocence  that  accompanies  only  the  most  delicate 
of  minds.  He,  like  Stevenson  before  him,  had  a  child's  freshness  and  fertility  of  imagina- 
tion ;  he,  like  Thompson,  saw  in  children's  eyes  "something,  something  that  replies."  He 
called  these  children  to  dreams  and  they  eagerly  stumbled  to  him.  They  loved  his  be- 
witching pictures ;  they  delighted  in  his  unexpected  fancy ;  they  marvelled  at  his  fan- 
tastic stories.  He  took  them  in  to  the  "little  green  orchard"  and  they  were  happy  and 
tranquil  there.  He  went  with  them  to  the  land  of  fairies  and  gnomes  who  danced  in  a 
leaf-green  light.  He  thrilled  them  with  tales  of  once-upon-a-time,  till,  all  else  forgotten, 
their  hearts  stood  still  in  the  hush  of  an  age  gone  by. 

This  was  Walter  de  la  Mare,  the  maker  of  dreams.  But  there  was  another  side  to 
this  same  Walter  de  la  Mare,  for  he  was  "the  type  of  the  wise  who  soar  but  never 
roam."  Thus  it  was,  that  with  the  skill  of  an  artist,  he  was  able  to  combine  the  charm 
of  folk-lore  with  a  realistic  presentation  of  detail.  He  was  beguiled  by  the  earth  and  he 
loved  to  contemplate  its  beauty,  but  he  was  perturbed  by  the  vanity  of  men.  All  he 
loved  in  beauty  cried  to  him  that  we  are  but  vain  shadows  and  reflections  of  an  Eternal 
Beauty  which  is  to  come. 

His  thoughts,  however,  were  not  those  of  a  philosopher.  They  were  the  rather  de- 
tached musings  of  a  man  who  believed  with  Conrad  that  a  writer's  task  is  to  make  you 
hear,  feel  and  see,  and  so  to  give  you  a  glimpse  of  Truth.  And  we  do  see,  we  do  hear, 
we  do  feel.  We  see  a  shimmering  moon  pouring  silver  indiscriminately  over  casement  win- 
dows and  harvest  mice.  We  see  a  sunken  garden  at  eventide,  we  breathe  its  fragrance, 
and  we  feel  its  peace.  We  see — but  to  catalogue  all  that  we  see  is  to  dissect  the  rose  and 
to  analyze  the  dewdrop.  It  is  enough  that  we  have  sensed  perfection;  it  is  enough  that 
we  have  walked  with  Walter  de  la  Mare  into  the  land  of  Romance  and  Beauty  ;  it  is 
enough,  nay,  more  than  enough,  to  have  heard  his  song,  to  have  been  able  to  "dream, 
wake,  wake,  dream,  in  one  brief  bar."

The  Non- Importance  of  Being  Earnest 

There  are  still  too  many  people  who  live  in  strict  accordance  with  Longfellow's 

dictum  that 

Life  is  real ,  life  is  earnest. 

Something  inside  rebels  against  it.  That,  perhaps,  is  why  we  laugh  at  cartoons  and  cari- 
catures; we  know  the  actuality  they  would  distort,  and  relish  seeing  it  shown  up.  We 
applaud  satiric  drama  and  literature  and  art,  unless,  of  course,  they  be  too  cutting;  for 
if  the  satirist  lacks  even  a  small  share  of  kindness,  he,  like  the  prophet,  seldom  finds 
honor  in  his  own  country.  It  is  much  easier  to  accept  the  suggestion  that  Europeans  are 
stupid  and  boorish  to  the  point  of  comedy,  than  it  is  to  accept  the  same  judgment  about 
our  precious  American  selves.  Still,  when  it  comes  to  pouring  the  spirit  of  an  age  into 
concrete,  formal  expression,  the  satirist  may  rightfully  take  his  place  with  the  artist  and 
the  historian. 

He  catches  the  age  when  it  is  nearly  overripe,  when  things  are  nearly  at  an  im- 
passe, and  his  skill  lies  in  his  ability  to  reinterpret  the  old  truth  that  people  take  them- 
selves much  too  seriouslv.  Piers  Plowman  among  his  field  full  of  folk,  Don  Quixote 
entangled  in  his  windmills,  Panurge  with  his  sheep,  and  Androcles  with  his  lion,  are  but 
representatives  of  millions  who  might  have  been  even  more  peculiar,  simply  because 
they  were  real  rather  than  the  creation  of  an  author's  brain. 

It  took  Shakespeare  to  say  poetically  that 

All  the  world's  a  stage, 
And  all  the  men  and  women  merely  players ; 
They  have  their  exits  and  their  entrances: 
.hid  'me  man  in  his  time  plays  many  parts. 
His  act  being  seven  ages. 

Yet  the  poet  himself  never  said  definitely  how  the  stage  is  set,  whether  for  coined) 
or  tragedy.  He  found  both  and  managed  to  reconcile  successfully  one  witli  the  other. 
Not  everyone  can  do  that,  least  of  all  the  fabled  "man  in  the  street,"  who,  because  he 
lacks  perspective,  is  inclined  to  consider  the  whole  business  of  living  a  very  weighty  and 
serious  matter.  After  all,  it  requires  a  certain  amount  of  courage,  not  to  mention  intelli- 
gence, to  laugh  at  oneself,  but  then  again,  is  there  any  particular  reason  why  the  one 
individual  should  remain  in  the  dark  about  his  own  comic  possibilities  when  everyone 
else  is  in  on  the.  secret?  Of  course  there  are  always  people  who  prefer  to  be  kept  in  the 
dark,  and  the  thicker  the  fog,  the  more  serious  they  become,  and  the  more  serious  they 
become,  the  funnier  they  are. 

The  man  we  characterize  as  "a  pompous  old  fool"  cuts  such  a  fine  figure  of  fun 
because  he  is  willfully  unaware  of  his  own  myopia  and  lack  of  proportion.  There  is  a 
terrible  solemnness  about  his  attitudes  and  conduct,  not  on  important  points,  but  on  the 
thousand  petty  details  which  in  magnitude  of  importance  have  about  the  same  relation  to 
reality  as  a  flea  to  an  elephant.  Multiply  this  man  by  millions,  trim  off  a  little  here,  add 
a  little  there,  and  the  model  can  be  made  to  fit  anyone,  from  dictator  to  ditchdigger.

Laughter,  after  all,  is  largely  a  matter  of  seeing  things  in  their  true  proportion. 
About  eight  centuries  ago  there  lived  a  man  who,  if  he  were  alive  today,  would  laugh 
us  to  scorn.  I  choose  this  man,  Francis  of  Assisi,  because  we  hear  so  much  of  the  "Fran- 
ciscan spirit"  without  realizing  what  it  implies.  Francis  of  Assisi  discovered  a  secret, 
which,  in  itself,  was  not  too  surprising  since  it  had  been  lying  around  ever  since  the 
world  began.  But,  all  things  considered,  Francis  did  a  fairly  good  job  of  making  it 
known.  He  could  laugh  at  poverty  and  insult  because  he  had  found  out  that  only  one 
thing  mattered — the  love  of  God  ;  and  that  the  only  things  worth  being  serious  about 
were  those  which  bear  some  relation  to  our  final  salvation — or  damnation.  They  weigh 
the  same  here.  In  the  light  of  that  discovery,  too  great  a  seriousness  about  other  things 
becomes  a  fit  subject  for  jest. 

Francis  could  afford  to  laugh  at  it  even  as  the  martyrs  laughed  amid  chains  and 
torture.  There  is  exquisite  humor  in  the  dying  words  of  a  St.  Lawrence  or  a  St.  Igna- 
tius. The  ironic  twist  in  the  persecutions  was  that  the  joke  was  on  the  pagan  persecutors 
and  they  didn't  know  it.  For  the  Romans,  the  spectacle  of  Christians  being  thrown  to 
the  lions  was  a  richly  humorous  situation.  It  must  have  been  a  little  maddening  to  find 
that  they  were  being  laughed  at  instead.  When  it  comes  to  such  a  contest,  the  saint  has 
an  edge  on  everyone  else,  for  he  alone  can  afford  to  be  entirely  unafraid  of  the  world  and 
its  peculiar  inhabitants.  He  can  remember  that  the  scribes  and  Pharisees  of  the  Gospels 
were  humbled  to  the  dust  because  they  took  themselves  too  seriously  and  Christ  too 
lightly. 

The  case  of  their  contemporary,  Lazarus,  is  provocative.  Just  what  Lazarus  experi- 
enced during  those  four  days  of  entombment  has  always  been  a  subject  for  conjecture. 
One  is  inclined  to  sympathize  with  the  thesis  of  dramatist  Eugene  O'Neill,  who  felt 
that  whatever  Lazarus  saw  or  heard  during  those  days  made  him  not  sad,  but  happy, 
so  deliriously  happy  that  he  laughed  a  laughter  beautiful  and  compelling,  laughed  aloud 
until  he  died  a  martyr,  and,  presumably,  laughs  in  heaven  with  the  sheer  joy  of 
knowledge  and  love. 

But  the  knowledge  and  love  which  brought  him  such  joy  rose  from  faith  and  a 
sense  of  wonder,  and  not  from  reason  at  all.  Only  the  truly  childlike  enter  the  Kingdom 
of  Heaven,  and  only  the  childlike  can  appreciate  the  exquisite,  flower-like  mood  of  a 
fairy  tale.  The  blase  adult  would  take  it  seriously,  at  peril  of  his  sanity,  or  else  treat  it 
as  an  absurdity,  which  is  an  unforgivable  crime.  The  child  knows  the  story  is  not  real, 
but  he  has  the  happy  faculty  of  being  able  to  appreciate  it  as  if  it  were  true,  so  the 
enchanted  world  of  fairies  and  golden-haired  princesses,  of  witches  and  heroic  princes, 
of  talking  beasts  and  fire-breathing  dragons  remains  hallowed  ground. 

Recently  we  were  treated  to  the  spectacle  of  a  psychologist  throwing  up  his  hands 
in  holy  horror  at  the  possible  fate  of  children  who  are  permitted  to  read  Alice  in  Won- 
derland. He  finds  that  it  is  cruel  and  wholly  impossible,  therefore  unhealthy.  Another 
Scrooge  in  our  midst!  Did  the  unhappy  man  ever  read  Peter  Pan,  I  wonder,  and  what 
does  he  say  about  that?  Let  us  hope  there  are  not  too  many  like  him,  but  rather  seek 
for  the  world  of  St.  Francis,  of  Lazarus,  of  children  and  of  those  other  men  who  see 
and  laugh  at  the  foibles  of  a  world  which  takes  itself  too  seriously.

A  Challenge 

The  modern  man  is  convinced  that  only  through  education  can  we  have  progress. 
To  achieve  this  progress,  we  in  the  United  States  have  developed  a  superior  standard  of 
learning.  The  early  colonial  academies  and  private  Latin  schools  are  a  far  cry  from  our 
present  system  of  public  education,  which  ranks  with  the  best  in  the  world. 

But  while  looking  with  pride  upon  our  own  advancement,  let  us  pause  to  consider 
the  attitude  of  other  countries  on  this  question.  Our  nearest  neighbor  to  the  south  is 
Mexico.  Long  before  this  great  country  of  ours  was  thoroughly  known  and  colonized, 
our  friends  below  the  Rio  Grande  had  a  method  of  education  of  which  they  could  be 
justly  proud. 

The  two  most  outstanding  names  amonir  the  early  educators  in  Mexico  are  Peter 
of  Ghent,  a  lay  Franciscan  brother,  and  Bishop  Zumarraga.  Zumarraga,  the  first  Arch- 
bishop of  Mexico,  founded  hospitals  and  established  schools  for  native  children.  During 
this  time  a  pastoral  clergy  was  being  developed.  It  was  their  duty  to  care  for  souls  in 
settled  parishes.  Every  town  had  a  school  beside  the  church,  where  the  children  were 
taught  to  read  and  write. 

The  first  institution  for  higher  education  of  the  Indian  was  Holy  Cross  College  in 
Tlaltelolco.  The  college  turned  out  scholars  as  fine  as  any  Spanish  college.  Santa  Cruz 
College  which  opened  its  doors  in  January  1534,  thirteen  years  after  Cortes  conquered 
Mexico  City,  was  founded  by  Bishop  Zumarraga.  In  1553,  there  were  three  principal 
colleges:  Santa  Cruz,  San  Juan  de  Letran  and  one  for  exclusive  Spaniards  and  Creoles. 
The  Augustinians  founded  the  College  of  San  Pablo,  and  the  Jesuits,  the  College  of  San 
Ildefonso  in  1575. 

The  University  of  Mexico  came  into  being  in  June  1553,  just  thirty-two  years 
after  the  conquest.  Our  own  college,  Harvard,  was  not  opened  until  nearly  a  century 
later.  Mexico  had  so  many  schools  and  colleges  before  the  confiscation  as  to  justify  the 
statement  by  Francis  Kelly  that  "up  to  that  day  there  never  had  been  a  country  on  the 
face  of  the  earth  that,  in  so  short  a  time,  had  done  so  much  in  an  educational  way.  When 
the  circumstances  of  time  and  conditions  surrounding  the  effort  and  the  obstacles  to 
be  overcome  are  considered,  history  presents  no  finer  record  of  educational  achievement 
and  success." 

Today,  Mexico  is  considered  illiterate.  Why?  What  has  become  of  these  educa- 
tional institutions?  The  principal  plank  of  the  reform  of  1857  was  confiscation  of 
ecclesiastical  property,  which  consisted  chiefly  of  schools,  asylums,  hospitals.  As  the 
schools  were  closed,  barracks  were  opened.  The  revolution  of  1917  completed  the  work. 
Now,  in  many  stat?.  of  the  Mexican  Republic,  a  clergyman  is  forbidden  to  officiate. 

The  College  of  Santa  Cruz  was  converted  successively  into  a  barracks,  a  political 
prison,  a  military  headquarter,  and,  at  last,  a  military  prison.  The  church  was  occupied 
as  a  customhouse.  The  Colleges  of  San  Pedro  and  San  Pablo  and  the  Indian  College  of 
San  Gregorio  were  transformed  into  Houses  of  Correction.  The  Jesuit  college,  San 
Ildefonso,  was  confiscated  by  the  government. 

Once  there  were  free  schools  in  every  parish,  but  this  is  no  longer  true.  In  spite 
of  the  few  show  schcols  in  the  federal  district,  three  million  children  are  without 
educational  opportunity  in  Mexico. 

The  conditions  in  Mexico  are  a  challenge  to  justice  and  the  moral  rights  of  all  men. 
The  beauty  that  was  has  given  way  to  the  desolation  and  destruction  that  is.

Jeeves  and  the  Spot  of  Art 

When  Bertie  Wooster  brought  home  a  vase  from  an  auction  and  parked  it  on  his 
mantelpiece,  Jeeves  said  little  but  his  attitude  said  a  lot.  He  eyed  in  a  marked  manner; 
he  viewed  with  concern.  So  did  my  family  when  I  took  up  the  study  of  art  in  a  spirit 
of  serious  research.  They  did  not  object  vocally — much  good  that  would  have  done 
them — but  all  three  aunts  and  Sandy  gave  me  the  raised  eyebrow  and  the  skeptical  look. 
They  seemed  to  be  thinking  that  the  poet's  outlook  on  life  was  so  much  mashed  potatoes; 
a  little  art  is  desirable;  it  is  a  lot  of  it  that  is  dangerous — and  demoralizing. 

It  wasn't  that  I  littered  the  house  with  chips  of  paper,  because  I  didn't.  The  carnage 
was  confined  to  my  own  room,  and  irked  no  one  but  Sandy,  who  had  to  sulk  in  his  own 
chair  because  my  couch  (my  error!  his  couch)  was  littered  with  Botticellis.  No,  it 
w*asn't  that.  It  was  only  my  room  that  became  temporarily  uninhabitable,  and  my  waste- 
basket  that  was  stuffed  with  superfluous  great  masters. 

What  they  objected  to  was  that  my  roving  and  acquisitive  spirit  (inherited  no  doubt 
from  some  Duffy  who  sailed  with  Hawkins  and  Drake)  reached  out  claw-like  hands 
toward  their  most  cherished  possessions.  I  wanted  to  cut  the  gorgeous  colored  plate  of 
the  Halls  of  Karnak  from  Volume  Something  of  the  Book  of  Knoxvledge,  which  no  one 
ever  looks  at,  anyway,  and  when  forbidden  to  do  so,  my  Zeal  for  the  Beautiful  made  me 
lug  the  big  elephant  to  school.  I  think  it  was  then  that  looks  of  apprehension  began  to 
fly  thick  as  autumn  leaves  in  Vallambrosa,  for  the  next  object  of  my  attentions  was 
the  National  Encyclopedia,  the  pride  of  all  our  hearts.  The  Catholic  Encyclopedia  was 
safe,  not  from  piety,  but  because  it  had  no  colored  plates.  But  the  National!  Um-m! 
The  "Madonna  delle  Sedie,"  a  lovely,  big,  round  picture  with  a  wide  margin  of  shiny 
white  paper  all  around  it,  was  the  first  aeuvre  to  rouse  the  piratical  soul  of  the  Spanish 
Main  Duffys.  Then  there  was  Fra  Angelico's  "Annunciation,"  pale  yet  vivid,  a  whole 
page  of  it,  and  I  didn't  have  a  single  Angelico  to  my  portfolio.  And  Turner's  "Fighting 
Temeraire"  I  could  have  eaten.  Fll  confess  right  here,  and  1  hope  my  family  never  gets  to 
read  this,  that  I  had  not  the  shadow  of  an  excuse  for  claiming  this  Turner.  We  didn't 
have  Turner  anywhere  in  either  of  the  art  courses,  and  what  made  me  try  to  chisel  it  was 
covetousness  neither  pure  nor  simple. 

While  we're  on  this  subject  of  confessions,  I  will  also  remark  that  it  was  not  I  who 
took  another  picture  of  the  "Madonna  of  the  Chair"  from  its  carved  wooden  frame. 
At  that,  its  owner  didn't  accuse  me  of  swiping  it;  she  only  thought  some  one  else  might 
have  done  it  for  me.  Not  that  she  had  any  right  to  complain.  If  the  semester  had  lasted 
two  weeks  longer,  I  swear  she  would  have  given  me  the  "Annunciation."  My  family 
has  always  been  anxious  for  my  scholastic  reputation.  By  cooing  that  other  people  had 
some  nice  pictures,  but  my  portfolio  was  much  admired,  I  got  plenty  of  amateur  assistance. 

Why  is  it  that  the  least — er — academic  newspapers  have  the  best  art  ?  The  Times 
never  prints  anything  but  black  and  white,  or  sepia,  at  the  most,  while  the  Daily  Shriek 
has  lovely  colored  reproductions  of  everybody  back  to  Cimabue.  During  my  spasmodic 
attendance  at  Journalism — some  people  never  understood  how  I  dared  cut  so  lavishly — 
I  took  full  advantage  of  what  the  Times  had  to  offer.  The  Shriek  was  harder  to  en- 
compass. Fortunately,  I  have  a  friend  who  has  a  brother  who  follows  the  adventures  of

Tarzan  and  other  heroes  of  the  comic  strips.  She  cut  out  the  pictures  and  >aved  them 
for  me,  and  every  week  I'd  go  and  have  tea  seasoned  with  aesthetic  discussions.  She  also 
gave  me  four  William  Blakes,  showing  Job  in  the  throes  of  harrowing  visions  and 
nightmares,  which,  although  called  for  in  neither  art  course,  I  treasured  for  their 
inhuman  interest. 

I  don't  know  what  possessed  Mr.  Mellon  to  give  his  art  collection  to  the  nation 
just  at  that  time  (maybe  Jeeves  arranged  it!)  but  it  was  peculiarly  fortunate  for  me, 
for  I  had  no  Peruginos  except  a  portrait  or  two,  and  Raphaels  are  always  useful. 

Another  treasure-trove,  and  a  peculiarly  gorgeous  one,  was  a  certain  travel  magazine 
which  arrives  at  our  door  at  uncertain  intervals.  Somebody,  Mussolini  maybe,  or 
perhaps  Jeeves,  sends  it  to  my  aunt.  Every  issue  has  two  beautiful  colored  plates  and 
any  number  of  lesser  fry.  The  pictures  from  this  publication  aroused  passionate  inter- 
est among  my  classmates  ;  I  explained  several  times,  but  evidently  none  of  their  aunts 
know  Mussolini — or  Jeeves. 

It  was  fortunate,  though,  that  the  term  ended  when  it  did.  Believe  it  or  not,  the 
publishers  of  that  travel  sheet  had  the  audacity  to  ask  us  to  pay  for  it  henceforth.  Of 
course,  we  declined.  If  there  had  been  another  month  of  art,  equally  of  course,  we 
would  have  paid. 

(Author's  note:  But  Mussolini  (or  Jeeves)  must  have  gotten  after  them,  for  we 
received  another  copy  a  few  weeks  ago,  with  a  Fra  Angelico  in  it,  and  a  detail  from 
Masaccio's  "Tribute  Money.") 

There's  a  beautiful  moral  lesson  to  be  drawn  from  the  way  one  fountain  of  Higher 
Life  enriches  another.  The  pursuit  of  the  graphic  arts  has  enlivened  the  pursuit  of 
secondhand  books  no  end.  I  had  a  few  books  on  art  already — a  small  one  on  the 
Ministry  of  Art,  with  a  few  black  and  white  illustrations;  a  tiny  volume  on  Velasquez, 
with  all  his  best  work  in  black  and  white,  acquired  for  six  cents  'way  up  beyond  the 
Brooklyn  Museum;  a  book  full  of  Burne-Jones  pictures  that  I  cribbed,  by  permission, 
from  one  of  my  aunts  (someone  had  cut  out  the  "Bath  of  Venus,"  but  I  liked  it  just 
the  same).  When  I  went  in  seriously  for  collecting  reproductions  of  the  great  masters, 
I  also  began  to  keep  my  eyes  open  for  books  about  them,  and  some  treasures  came  my 
way.  Which  brings  us  to  the  case  of  the  Missing  Holman  Hunt. 

In  my  favorite  bookshop — the  one  that  gave  me  the  Culprit  Fay,  Cranford,  and 
Byron,  and  some  other  tome,  all  for  two  bits — I  came  across  a  thinnish  book  containing 
a  dissertation  on  the  life  and  works  of  one  Holman  Hunt,  a  painter.  It  was  adorned  with 
no  less  than  eight  illustrations  in  glorious  colors.  Publishers  are  so  stingy  in  this  direction 
that  you  perceive  right  away  this  was  a  rare  gem.  It  follows  that  it  was  of  great  price — 
in  brief,  twenty-five  cents.  Now  there  may  be  a  college  girl  who  has  twenty-five  cents 
to  spare  on  Friday,  but  I  have  never  met  her,  and  I  certainly  don't  keep  her  under  my 
hat.  I  told  my  troubles  to  the  proprietor,  and  he  wrapped  it  up  and  wrote  my  name  on 
it,  and  parked  it  in  his  desk. 

Monday  lunch  hour,  which  was  two  hours  long,  I  redeemed  my  treasure,  and 
then  betook  myself  downtown  to  see  if  there  were  any  more  treasures  lying  around. 
There  were  not,  so  I  went  back  to  school,  to  discover  there  that  Holman  Hunt  and  I 
had  parted  company,  I  knew  not  where  or  how.  He  was  gone  as  completely  as  a  dream

that  you  can't  remember.  Even  Jeeves's  philosophy  could  not  comfort  me.  I  hunted 
through  every  classroom  in  the  school,  and  then  hunted  other  places.  Then  I  tackled  the 
Lost  and  Found  in  the  department  store  I  had  visited.  Not  a  trace. 

Believe  it  or  not,  though,  I  got  it  back  the  next  day,  and  it  had  been  left  in  the 
department  store.  And  if  you  want  to  know  why  the  Lost  and  Found  turned  me  down, 
it  was  because  most  of  the  salespeople  downtown  are  college  graduates  and  have 
taken  applied  psychology.  The  staff  in  the  book  department,  rinding  a  book  with  my 
name  on  the  wrapping,  put  their  heads  together  and  said,  "This  wench  has  been  haunting 
this  department  for  months.  She's  sure  to  come  back."  So,  instead  of  sending  it  down 
to  the  Place  Where  Lost  Things  Turn  Up,  they  kept  it  up  on  the  third  floor  with  the 
rest  of  the  books.  They  were  right  and  I  went  back. 

A  gorgeous  volume  full  of  colored  and  otherwise  plates  was  another  piece  of  luck.  It 
had  lost  its  paper  jacket,  and  was  therefore  marked  down  within  my  reach.  I  wanted 
the  jacket,  too,  because  it  had  a  picture  of  Rubens'  "Venus  and  Adonis"  on  it  which 
would  have  glorified  a  page  of  the  portfolio,  but  if  the  jacket  had  been  on  it,  I  couldn't 
have  bought  it  at  all.  Still,  with  its  handsome  red  binding,  it  is  very  impressive — so 
much  so  that  one  of  the  adjustable  shelves  had  to  be  adjusted  to  a  new  high. 

(Author's  Note:  Readers  of  a  former  article,  which  bewailed  the  difficulty  of  find- 
ing headroom  for  the  larger  volumes,  may  wonder  why  I  made  so  much  fuss  when  all 
I  had  to  do  was  pull  out  a  few  pegs  and  put  them  in  again.  The  answer  is  that  at  that 
time  my  room  was  not  so  equipped.  In  fact,  it  wasn't  the  same  room.  In  the  interim  we 
have  moved.  Now,  instead  of  two  shelves  and  three  bookcases,  I  have  five  bookcases — 
which  does  not  simplify  matters  at  all.) 

It  was  a  great  relief  to  my  family  when  that  portfolio  (I  never  sank  to  calling  it  a 
scrapbook)  was  handed  in.  I  have  a  few  goodish  books  of  my  own,  and  was  beginning 
to  eye  them  ghoulishly.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  these  tomes  are  my  own  property,  certain 
people  had  the  nerve  to  tell  me  that  I  shouldn't  cut  the  pictures  out.  Oh  well,  all  things 
come  to  an  end!  But  one  of  these  days  I'm  going  to  buy  me  another  tube  of  "paper 
cement,"  and  then — watch  out !

Sadness  in  Sweet  Sound 

The  masters  among  the  composers  have  sometimes  grasped  the  most  fundamental 
aspects  of  life  and  living,  and  have  embodied  them  in  their  music.  Although  we  who  are 
amateurs  even  in  appreciation  may  not  be  able  to  comprehend  their  message,  we  are 
nevertheless  aware  of  some  element  which  is  stirring,  universal,  and  yet  so  intimate  that  it 
penetrates  our  minds  far  more  deeply  than  any  written  or  spoken  word.  Music  is  like 
philosophy  in  one  sense,  that  it  provides  an  inexhaustible  subject  for  study;  but  unlike  it 
in  that  it  can  be  enjoyed  without  any  extensive  knowledge.  The  old  saw  about  the  cat 
looking  at  the  king  applies  here;  fortunately,  we  can  listen  to  Bach,  Beethoven,  Wagner 
and  Tschaikowsky  without  being  dilettantes. 

There  must  be,  however,  a  more  real  pleasure  for  the  initiated  than  appears  to  the 
neophyte.  I  have  some  friends — a  middle-aged  couple,  who,  I  believe,  would  not  resent 
my  mention  of  them  here — who  live  actively  and  consciously  in  a  search  for  beauty, 
and  seek  it  chiefly  in  music.  They  entertain  us  when  we  visit  them  by  playing  on  their 
victrola  the  best  of  the  symphonies  in  their  fine  library.  And  if  anyone  were  inconsiderate 
enough  to  stop  the  instrument  in  the  very  heart  of  the  "Brandenberg  Concerto,"  both 
of  them  would  hum  it  to  its  conclusion.  Of  course,  four  hours  of  mostly  Bach,  with 
some  Mozart  to  lighten  the  burden  (for  they  are  kindly  people)  is  very  tiring;  and 
yet  I  envy  them  the  sincere  love  they  have  for  the  most  enduring  music  that  has  ever 
been  composed. 

Without  knowing  much  about  it,  I  have  become  a  noisy  and  belligerent  Wagner 
enthusiast.  It  may  be  true  that  his  music-dramas  are  a  hybrid  form  of  art:  labored  in 
construction,  and  purely  emotional  in  appeal,  but  they  make  French  and  Italian  operas 
seem  trivial  and  colorless.  Die  Walkure,  and  especially  its  last  act,  is  inimitable  in  its 
sustained  power.  The  exciting  "Ride  of  the  Valkyrs,"  the  wrath  of  Wotan,  and  the 
haunting,  flickering  charm  of  the  "Fire  Music"  with  the  Siegfried  theme  flung  boldly 
across  it — the  whole  is  an  unforgettable  pictorial  composition.  And  it  is  more  than  that, 
for  Wagner  throughout  the  Ring  portrays  that  basic  struggle  between  idealism  and 
materialism  which  so  completely  absorbed  the  thought  of  his  century.  Aside  from  this, 
he  has  given  us  the  most  glorious  love  music  we  possess  in  the  "Liebesnacht"  of  Tristan 
und  Isolde ,  and  the  purest  of  aspirations  in  his  Tannhauser. 

Of  Bach  I  hardly  dare  to  speak.  Not  that  I  have  not  listened  and  tried  to  under- 
stand ;  but  he  is  on  a  pinnacle  that  is  difficult  to  scale.  There  are  only  a  few  of  his 
works  that  are  within  my  comprehension.  First  among  these  for  sheer  impressiveness  is 
the  "Passacaglia,"  the  composer's  bitter  protest  against  social  injustice.  The  minor 
chords  of  this  splendidly  integrated  composition  convey  the  strongest  sorrow  and  dis- 
illusionment. Although,  to  my  undying  shame,  I  know  nothing  about  fugues,  themes, 
and  variations,  I  can  still  enjoy  the  suites,  in  the  third  of  which  is  the  lovely  melody 
familiar  to  us  as  the  "Air  for  G  String." 

After  all,  we  do  not  live  on  a  titanic  scale.  These  things  are  really  too  large  for  over- 
frequent  enjoyment.  We  should  use  them,  rather,  for  touchstones,  and  thus  maintain  a 
sense  of  perspective.  The  part  that  music  plays  in  everyday  life  is  far  different.  It  is 
simple,  amusing  and  recreational,  and  provision  has  been  made  for  this  truth  even  among 


/  o otpr i n ts     19  3  7 


the  classics.  The  wise  composers  have  given  us  melodies  which  are  not  the  less  great,  and 
all  the  more  dearly  beloved,  because  we  can  produce  them  ourselves,  albeit  in  a  mangled 
form.  It  is  from  the  Northerners  with  their  capacity  for  gentle  melancholy  that  our 
(jest  songs  come.  Why  does  sadness  move  men  so  much  more  deeply  than  joy?  1  am  think- 
ing of  the  tenderness  of  Grieg's  "Ich  Liebe  Dich,"  the  lyric  quality  of  Bohm's  "Still  As 
the  Night,"  and  the  haunting,  slow  sweep  of  the  "Valse  Triste."  The  source  of  Gounod's 
"Ave  Maria"  is  in  Bach's  "Well-Tempered  Clavichord,"  to  which  the  French  com- 
poser wrote  the  theme  that  his  predecessor  had  so  skillfully  implied.  From  Beethoven 
there  is  the  "Moonlight  Sonata"  and  the  wistful  "Fur  Elise,"  and  from  Schubert  his 
many  lovely  songs.  I  think  that  Grieg  seldom  receives  the  acclaim  he  deserves  for  his 
two  best  suites — the  Peer  Gynt  and  the  Lyric.  In  the  latter  there  is  an  exquisite  nocturne 
which  should  be  played  more  often. 

In  this  hopelessly  sketchy  jumble  of  opinion  and  catalogue  let  us  look  southward 
to  those  countries  which  we  usually  consider  the  true  province  of  song.  As  we  hurry 
through  Vienna  we  swing  into  waltz  time;  our  heads  sway  rather  fatuously  from  side 
to  side,  and  we  "trip  it  on  the  light  fantastic  toe."  For  this  is  the  kingdom  of  the 
Strausses,  whose  blithe  music  brings  a  sparkle  to  the  eye  of  the  veriest  purist  who  ever 
debated  on  counterpoint.  And  here  is  Italy,  land  of  joyous  opera  that  lilts  its  way  care- 
lessly through  comedy  and  tragedy  alike.  Notice  how  geography  effects  a  change  of 
mood.  What  the  southerners  lack  of  strength  and  sublimity,  they  compensate  in  pure 
joy  of  living  and  human  appeal.  We  hum  the  Riijoletto  quartet  without  the  slightest 
shade  of  sadness;  the  "Miserere"  speaks  of  undying  love  rather  than  of  death.  The 
mention  of  Italy  brings  to  mind  more  readily  "O  Sole  Mio"  and  "La  Donna  e  Mobile" 
than  the  pathos  of  Puccini.  And  I  have  heard  a  toccata  of  Galuppi's  that  is  very 
danceable. 

And  now  north  again  to  France — to  the  Paris  that  heaped  insult  on  Carmen, 
when  Bizet  presented  it,  because  it  was  too  "Wagnerian."  I  suppose  that  Gounod  might 
be  considered  representative  of  the  composers  of  his  day,  although  occasionally  he  ap- 
proaches the  spirit  of  the  Germans.  But  he,  too,  felt  the  influence  of  the  Italian  school, 
and  we  find  it  in  the  dainty  waltzes  and  prevalently  gay  tone  of  Faust.  .  .  .  Massenet, 
Hahvy,  Chopin,  Chaminade,  Debussy.  .  .  .  names  known  to  everyone,  melodies  that 
float  in  shreds  about  our  memories !  When  a  man  has  genius,  does  he  know  that  for 
generations  people  will  be  spellbound  by  his  magic,  and  is  he  patient  and  glad? 

The  Russians,  the  Poles,  the  English,  the  Americans!  There  is  no  room  for  them 
all,  and  the  gifts  they  bring.  And  I  have  forgotten  sacred  music,  the  marches,  the  folk 
songs.  Even  at  this  I  have  learned  nothing,  and  I  have  said  nothing.  I  could  not  even 
hint  to  you  what  music  is  or  what  it  means.  It  is  only  one  more  thing  to  wonder  at  in 
man:  "that  out  of  three  sounds,  he  frame,  not  a  fourth  sound,  but  a  star."

Mrs.  Harris 

What  did  .Mrs.  Harris  look  like?  Where  did  she  live?  What  was  her  occupation? 
Was  she  a  widow?  Or  was  there  a  Mr.  Harris,  a  shadowy  consort?  Or  is  it  really  true 
that  Sairey  Gamp  yielded  to  a  creative  impulse  and  made  her  up  out  of  whole  cloth,  as 
Dickens  implies? 

It  has  always  been  a  matter  of  great  wonder  and  amazement  to  me  that  Dickens, 
who  loved  so  much  to  picture  his  characters  down  to  the  last  wrinkle  in  a  black  bomba- 
zine skirt,  could  have  left  Mrs.  Harris  only  a  wraithlike  invention  of  Sairey's  brandy- 
tinctured  imagination.  It  must  have  cost  him  a  pang.  He  heightened  the  effectiveness  of 
his  caricature  of  gentle  Nurse  Gamp,  who  laid  out  her  patients  before  they  were  dead  in 
order  to  see  what  they  would  look  like  after  they  had  succumbed  to  her  tender  ministra- 
tions, when  he  gave  her  a  purely  fictional  friend  through  whose  mouth  she  might  sound 
her  own  praises  but  he  must  have  regretted  the  lost  opportunity  to  add  one  more  portrait 
to  his  gallery  of  oddities. 

What  could  he  have  done  with  Mrs.  Harris?  He  could  have  made  her  a  tall, 
spare  woman  with  a  black  dress  too  tight  for  her  and  a  husband  too  small  for  her. 
She  might  have  had  a  perpetual  red  tip  to  her  nose,  and,  to  explain  the  redness,  a  con- 
venient pocket  in  her  skirt  continually  sagging  under  the  weight  of  a  bottle  of  the 
"tonic"  which  all  of  Mrs.  Gamp's  friends  seemed  to  need.  She  might  have  carried  an 
umbrella,  rolled  up  tightly  on  its  stick,  as  Mrs.  Gamp's  was  left  bulging  and  flapping. 
However,  we  cannot  say  arbitrarily  that  Mrs.  Harris  would  have  been  thin.  We  are 
willing  to  concede  that  she  might  have  been  as  ample  as  Mrs.  Gamp  herself.  But,  we 
state  positively,  she  would  have  had  a  little  man  with  pale,  prominent,  watery  blue  eyes 
and  a  weedy  moustache,  for  a  husband.  Mr.  Harris  would  have  worn  a  frock  coat, 
two  sizes  too  large  for  him,  and  a  high  glazed  collar,  slightly  soiled,  also  too  large  for 
him,  above  which  his  Adam's  apple  would  bob  with  fright  every  time  Mrs.  Harris  made 
a  sudden  move  in  his  direction.  Mr.  Harris  would  have  been  a  postman  or  a  green- 
grocer's clerk,  and  Mrs.  Harris  would  have  been  a  nurse  who  had  given  up  that  pro- 
fession to  marry  him,  a  fact  which  she  would  hurl  at  him,  together  with  a  piece  of 
crockery,  when  he  would  weakly  protest  about  the  lateness  or  absence  of  his  dinner.  He 
would  wonder  feebly,  not  why  he  had  persuaded  her  to  give  up  nursing,  but  why  he 
had  persuaded  her  to  marry  him.  The  little  man  would  never  realize  that  he  had  not 
done  any  persuading  at  all  ;  Mrs.  Harris  had  simply  decided  to  marry  him  out  of  hand, 
and  done  so. 

But  there  can  never  be  a  Mrs.  Harris.  Mrs.  Harris  was  killed  by  Betsy  Prig  when 
Bets\  hurled  the  remark,  "I  don't  believe  there's  no  sich  a  person,"  into  Sairey's  as- 
tounded face.  The  foul  blow  fell.  Mrs.  Harris  dissolved  in  an  atmosphere  compounded 
of  brandy,  liniment  and  the  odor  of  rusty  black  material.  I  heartily  echo  Mrs  Gamp's 
sentiment,  "But  the  words  she  spoke  of  Mrs.  Harris,  lambs  could  not  forgive.  No, 
Betsy!  nor  worms  forget !"

With  the  coming  of  September  nearly  all  the  Sophomores  looked  forward  very 
eagerly  to  becoming  upperclassmen  at  last.  The  year  that  means  so  much  to  everyone 
was  finally  attained.  The  Junior  year  witnessed  the  advent  of  many  social  events  and  the 
role  of  both  host  and  guest  of  honor  falls  to  the  Junior  class  as  a  whole. 

Our  memories  of  the  aid  and  assistance  we  were  given  by  our  sister  class  spurred, 
in  turn,  our  efforts  to  help  our  own  Freshmen  sisters.  Our  only  hope  is  that  we  have 
made  them  feel  very  much  at  home  and  very  welcome. 

Individually,  the  Junior  class  played   a  very  large  part   in  social   events.   Celeste

Hughes  and  Fran  Coffey  were  excellent  in  the  Dramatic  Cluh  production  of  Ladies  of 
the  Jury.  The  spring  production,  The  Swan,  finds  Pat  Muller  in  the  leading  role,  as 
Dr.  Agi.  If  the  rehearsals  are  any  indication  of  what  the  finished  article  will  be,  we're 
sure  it  will  be  a  fine  performance. 

Of  course,  our  biggest  event  of  the  year  was  Junior  Week,  which  was  splendidly 
handled  by  Peggy  Magee  and  her  committee.  We  started  the  week  by  attending  Mass 
in  a  body  on  Monday  morning;  that  evening  we  had  dinner  at  the  American  Women's 
Club.  The  Seniors,  on  Tuesday  night,  took  us  to  see  the  colorful  musical,  White  Horse 
Inn.  We  were  the  guests  of  our  sister  class  in  the  alumnae  on  Thursday  night  when 
we  saw  the  delightful  fantasy,  High  Tor.  We  had  a  wonderful  time  at  both  per- 
formances and  I'm  sure  we'll  never  forget  them.  We  closed  our  week  with  the  much 
anticipated  Junior  Prom.  The  chairmanship  was  in  the  very  able  hands  of  Betty  Nicolaus 
and  her  committee.  They  made  the  evening  a  very  enjoyable  one. 

We  are  going  to  miss  all  the  attention  which  has  been  showered  upon  us  this  year. 
It  seems  almost  impossible  to  believe  that  in  a  short  while  we  will  be  Seniors.  However, 
this  year  has  been  one  so  full  of  lovely  memories  that  we  will  always  remember  it  and 
remember  also  those  who  helped  us  to  make  it  so  successful.

Wordsworth  's  Concepts  of  Nat ure 

Nature  may  almost  he  called  the  he-all  and  end-all  of  Wordsworth's  life  and 
poetry.  It  was  one  of  the  most  dominant  forces  in  the  formation  of  his  character  and  in 
the  shaping  of  his  poetic  gift.  He  was  born  in  the  Lake  Country  and  in  this  section, 
noted  for  its  loveliness,  he  grew  up.  Nature  formed  the  setting  for  his  boyhood  sports. 
By  day,  and  even  by  night,  he  ranged  through  the  woods  around  his  home,  hunting, 
scaling  cliffs  to  carry  off  birds'  nests,  skating  under  the  stars  in  winter,  swimming  and 
boating  in  summer — all  in  a  close  though  unheeding  companionship  with  nature.  His 
spirit  was  not  hampered  by  the  confinement  of  city  life  or  by  man-made  boundaries. 
Rather,  it  was  free  to  expand  to  the  large  measure  of  the  natural  world  about  him,  to 
absorb  beauty,  and  to  learn  at  firsthand  the  laws  of  nature.  He  writes  in  his  auto- 
biographical poem,  "The  Prelude" — 

Fair  seed-time  had  my  soul,  and  I  greiv  up 

Fostered  alike  by  beauty  and  by  fear. 
Fear,  it  will  be  noticed,  had  its  place.  For  even  then  nature  was  something  more  to  the 
child  than  a  background  for  his  play,  a  mere  physical  thing;  even  then  he  vaguely  sensed 
a  spiritual  presence  behind  the  familiar  forms  around  him,  a  presence  that  was  a  shaping 
power,  a  guide;  that  inarticulately  impressed  on  him  what  was  right  and  what  wrong. 

Then,  as  the  boy  grew  older  and  his  mind  developed,  the  instinctive,  animal-like 
companionship  with  nature  was  left  behind,  and  he  approached  the  beauties  around  him 
with  conscious  appreciation.  Daily  the  common  range  of  visible  things  grew  dearer  to 
him.  The  sun,  shedding  its  light  over  the  morning  hills  or  setting  behind  the  mountains, 
the  moon  "hung  midway  between  the  hills,"  still  water  beneath  a  starry  sky — all  im- 
pressed their  loveliness  upon  him.  And  nature  then  was  "all  in  all"  to  him.  His  ap- 
preciation was  of  the  senses;  it  was  a  thing  of  "aching  joys"  and  "dizzy  raptures,"  an 
instinct 

That  had  no  need  of  a  remoter  charm 

By  thought  supplied  .  .  . 

But  this  purely  sensual  admiration,  too,  gave  way  with  maturity,  and  in  its  place 
there  came  a  quieter  love,  a  reflective  emotion,  in  which  the  mind  had  its  part.  His  con- 
tact with  nature  gave  him  food  for  thought  as  well  as  for  feeling.  He  looked  beyond 
form  and  color,  not  now  satisfied  by  these  alone;  he  had  lost  that  first  wild  ecstasy,  but 
not  regretfully,  for  "other  gifts"  had  come  to  take  its  place,  "abundant  recompense," 
and  he  learned 

To  look  on  nature,  not  as  in  the  hour 

Of  thoughtless  youth;  but  hearing  oftentimes 

The  still,  sad  music  of  humanity, 

Nor  harsh,  nor  grating,  though  of  ample  power 

To  chasten  and  subdue. 

Nor  was  this  his  only  compensation.  He  not  only  had  the  chastening  power  of 
thought,  but  also  its  uplifting  power.  And  another,  purer  rapture  came  to  replace  what 
was  lost.  Spiritual  and  sensual  joined  forces  and  led  him  to  an  intuitive  knowledge  of

s  aint     jo  s  e  p  h'  s     college 


A  presence  that  disturbs  me  with  the  joy 

Of  elevated  thoughts:  a  sense  sublime 

Of  something  far  more  deeply  interfused, 

Whose  dwelling  is  the  light  of  setting  suns. 

And  the  round  ocean  and  the  living  air, 

A  motion  and  a  spirit,  that  impels 

All  thinking  things,  all  objects   of  nil  thought, 

And  rolls  through  all  things. 

As  a  moral  guide,  too,  nature  played  an  important  role  in  Wordsworth's  life. 
In  nature  and  the  "language  of  the  sense"  he  found 

.  .  .  the  nurse 
The  guide,  the  guardian  of  my  heart  and  soul 
Of  all  my  moral  being. 

He  took  from  these  rather  than  from  dogma  his  concept  of  right  and  wrong.  Nature 
was  to  him  a  kind  of  second  conscience,  and  he  firmly  helieved  that 

One  impulse  from  a  vernal  wood 
May  teach  you  more  of  man, 
Of  moral  evil  and  of  good 
Than  all  the  sages  can. 

He  found  in  nature  a  source  of  that  "emotion  recollected  in  tranquillity,"  which 
is  the  inspiration  of  so  much  of  his  poetry.  The  pleasure  he  drew  from  the  mere  physical 
perception  of  heautiful  things  was  not  transient ;  it  was  not  just  a  momentary  appre- 
hension of  heauty,  gone  when  the  object  that  gave  him  pleasure  no  longer  appeared 
to  his  senses.  On  the  contrary,  it  was  a  lasting  joy  to  be  called  up  before  the  mind  at  will. 
He  drank  in  the  beauty  of  the  moment 

.  .  .  not  only  with  the  sense 
Of  present  pleasure,  but  with  pleasing  thoughts 
That  in  this  moment  there  is  life  and  food 
For  future  years. 

But  Wordsworth  is  at  his  best  when  the  beauties  of  nature  move  him  to  a  tran- 
scendental ecstasy.  Though  he  never  reaches  the  sublime  transports  of  Shelley,  or  even 
the  unstudied  rapture  of  Coleridge,  in  such  moments  he  shakes  off  the  labored,  earthy, 
almost  plodding  spirit  that  makes  such  things  as  "To  A  Skylark"  seem  forced  and 
uninspired,  and  rises  to  the  heights  of  poetic  expression.  In  the  lines  "Composed  On  An 
Evening  Of  Extraordinary  Splendor"  his  inspiration  is  a  natural  scene,  but  he  tran- 
scends the  physical,  and  it  is  the  spirit  that  breathes  through  the  evening — the  spirit 
that  animates  Nature  to  which  he  writes: 

.  .  .  From  thee  if  I  would  swerve 
Oh,  let  thy  grace  remind  me  of  the  light 
Full  early  lost  and  fruitlessly  deplored; 
If  hich  at  this  moment  on  my  waking  sight 
Appears  to  shine,  by  miracle  restored; 
My  soul,  though  yet  confined  to  earth 
Rejoices  in  a  second  birth!

Old  Grad 

Matthew  Fellowes  peered  at  himself  above  the  crack  in  the  mirror  and  carefully 
brushed  his  hair  to  hide  a  thin  spot  at  the  crown.  He  fingered  his  dull  tie  regretfully. 
He  would  have  preferred  the  blue  one — his  university  color — but  it  would  have  drawn 
too  much  attention  to  the  gray  suit  that,  however  carefully  pressed,  still  showed  worn 
and  fraying  edges.  A  sigh  of  resignation  escaped  him  as  he  carefully  replaced  the  blue 
tie  and  stepped  back  to  survey  himself  as  fully  as  the  small  mirror  would  allow.  The 
years  had  been  kind  to  Matthew  if  fortune  had  not — except  for  those  slightly  stooped 
shoulders  and  a  general  air  of  timidity  he  was  not  unlike  the  Matthew  of  twenty  years 
ago.  His  figure  was  still  slim,  his  mousy  hair  showed  no  signs  of  gray,  and  the  short- 
sighted light  blue  eyes  retained  the  same  boyish  good  humor  that  had  attracted  people 
to  him  in  his  undergraduate  days.  But  Matthew  was  vaguely  unsatisfied.  The  stamp  of 
success  was  lacking  in  his  appearance  and  it  had  caused  him  numberless  hours  of  vacil- 
lation before  he  finally  persuaded  himself  to  undertake  the  present  trip.  The  twentieth 
reunion  of  the  class  of  '17  was  a  great  occasion,  worthy  to  be  graced  by  men  of  name 
and  position.  Matthew,  after  twenty  years,  still  commanded  both  the  title  and  salary 
of  assistant  bookkeeper.  He  had  been  honor  man  in  17,  hut  in  an  age  of  aggressive  busi- 
ness methods  Matthew's  gentler  tactics  were  unequal  to  the  struggle,  and  he  had 
quietly  acquiesced.  Up  to  now  he  had  not  minded  his  shahbiness,  but  now  it  became  a 
stigma  that  he  felt  sure  his  classmates  could  not  overlook  or  forgive.  What  right  had 
an  honor  man  to  be  content  with  a  mean  position  and  a  niggardly  income?  Thus  he  had 
reasoned  before,  and  now  as  he  turned  and  picked  up  his  hat  he  was  filled  with  the 
same  forebodings  of  failure.  He  picked  up  his  bag  and  descended  the  dark  stairs  of  the 
most  respectable  boarding  house  where  he  lodged.  Mrs.  Heuber,  the  landlady,  emerged 
from  the  parlor  just  as  he  reached  the  landing.  Matthew  wanted  to  turn  back,  but  she 
had  seen  him  so  he  was  forced  to  meet  her. 

Mrs.  Heuber  leaned  on  her  broom  and  nodded  her  dust-capped  head  at  him  in  the 
friendly  inquisitive  way  of  her  kind.  "Ah,  so  you're  off,"  she  said.  "You've  lovely 
weather  for  your  trip.  Now  do  have  a  nice  time,  won't  you?"  She  seemed  fearful  that 
Mr.  Fellowes,  who  was  "such  a  gentleman,"  might  not  know  how  to  have  a  good  time. 

"Yes — oh,  thank  you,  I  shall,  Mrs.  Heuber,"  Matthew  replied  mechanically.  He 
looked  at  her  suspiciously  for  a  moment  and  then  hurried  away.  Could  she  possibly  have 
suspected  his  destination?  He  had  done  his  best  to  deceive  her  and  save  his  pride.  Mrs. 
Heuber  could  never  have  identified  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  a  middle-aged  clerk  in  the 
person  of  Mr.  Matthew  Fellowes.  Matthew  knew  her  good  opinion  of  him,  and  it 
pleased  him  to  keep  it. 

It  was  nearly  ten  o'clock  when  he  descended  from  the  day  coach  to  the  small 
wooden  station  platform.  He  was  grateful  for  the  darkness  that  hid  his  obvious  nervous- 
ness from  a  crowd  of  undergraduates  who  had  gathered  at  the  station  to  get  a  look  at 
these  "old  grads."  Matthew  hurried  up  Orchard  Street  to  his  old  frat  house.  When  he 
reached  the  porch  he  stopped  for  a  minute  to  smooth  his  tie  and  square  his  stooping 
shoulders.  While  he  hesitated,  the  strains  of  a  sentimental  college  song  floated  out  to 
him.  He  smiled  a  bit  uncertainly  and  pushed  in  the  door.  The  song  burst  loudly  on  his 

eighty-eight 


s  a  i  n  t     j  o  s  e  p  h  '  s     college 


ears  and  clouds  of  acrid  smoke  rushed  to  the  open  door.  Matthew  stood  shyly  in  the 
doorway  surveying  a  room  that  was  crowded  with  middle-aged  men,  all  singing 
lustily. 

By  chance  a  man  across  the  room  happened  to  look  up,  and  he  grinned  in  recogni- 
tion. "Hey  there,  Pop  Fellowes,"  he  called  as  he  crossed  the  room  and  extended  his 
hand.  "Say,  it's  good  to  see  you  after  all  these  years."  He  looked  around  him,  "Hey, 
Tom,  Jim,  look  who's  here.  You  rememher  Pop  Fellowes."  He  dragged  him  over  to  a 
crowd  of  men  grouped  around  a  hattered  old  piano. 

The  piano  player  turned  around  to  greet  Matthew.  "Hi  there,  Pop.  Say — you 
haven't  changed  a  bit — same  old  Pop."  And  thus  the  conventional  and  time-honored 
greetings  ran  on.  and  under  their  influence  Pop  blossomed.  His  smile  expanded;  he 
was  among  old  friends.  When  the  songs  were  exhausted  and  the  unfailing  flow  of  rem- 
iniscences had  begun,  Matthew  sat  back,  flushed  and  happy  with  the  success  of  his 
entrance. 

Suddenly,  at  the  end  of  a  particularly  tall  story,  someone  near  him  said,  "Say, 
Pop,  tell  us  about  the  time  you  stole  the  Bible  from  the  chapel."  A  wave  of  laughter 
greeted  the  suggestion.  They  had  all  heard  the  story  before,  but  it  was  still  a  good  one. 

"Sure,  come  on,  Pop,"  Tom  egged  him  on.  An  audience  of  sympathetic  listeners 
encouraged  him  to  start,  and  soon  his  tongue  was  loosened  and  began  to  pick  up  its  old 
art  of  storytelling.  In  his  day  Pop  had  been  no  mean  raconteur,  and  the  appreciative 
chuckles  that  rewarded  his  sallies  told  him  that  he  had  not  forgotten  his  old  magic. 

Two  days  later  Matthew  swung  off  the  train  and  started  down  the  street  toward 
Mrs.  Heuber's.  There  was  a  new  briskness  in  his  stride,  a  new  assurance  in  the  way 
he  held  his  head.  At  the  corner  he  stopped  to  buy  a  bunch  of  lilacs  from  an  old  man. 
He  smiled  to  himself.  It  was  a  long  time  since  he  had  brought  flowers  to  a  woman. 
He  wondered  what  Mrs.  Heuber  would  say  when  he  gave  them  to  her. 

It  was  an  astonished  Mrs.  Heuber  who  looked  from  a  bunch  of  lilacs  in  her  hand 
to  Matthew's  retreating  figure  as  he  climbed  the  stairs.  Alone  in  his  room  he  whistled 
tunelessly  as  he  unpacked  his  bag.  When  all  his  things  were  disposed  of  he  took  from 
the  bottom  of  the  bag  a  neatly  folded  blue  pennant,  and  with  the  air  of  one  who  has  a 
definite  plan  to  execute  he  pinned  it  in  a  conspicuous  place  over  his  desk.  With  the  same 
determination  he  rummaged  in  the  back  of  his  closet  and  brought  forth  a  smoking 
jacket  that  had  seen  better  days.  He  smiled  a  bit  wryly  as  he  slipped  it  on  and  stood  in 
front  of  the  mirror  tying  the  blue  tie  that  had  been  discarded  a  few  days  ago.  Matthew 
stood  for  a  moment  surveying  the  effect.  Evidently  he  was  satisfied,  for  he  sank  down 
in  his  chair  and  lit  his  pipe  with  the  air  of  a  man  at  peace  with  himself  and  the  world. 
He  sat  quietly  reviewing  the  events  of  the  past  few  days  until  his  pipe  burned  down 
and  then  he  knocked  it  out  and  prepared  to  go  to  bed.  Automatically,  he  went  to  his 
desk  to  turn  the  leaf  of  his  calendar.  Suddenly  a  thought  seemed  to  amuse  him,  for  he 
laughed  softly  as  he  picked   up   a  pencil   and   wrote   across  the  old   page:   "If   this  be 

treason  .  .  ."

To  a  Subway  Vendor 

He  stands  there,  slouching  against  the  rail 
hy  the  stairs  which  lead  down,  down 
into  dirty,  musty  passageways,  called 
a  subway. 

He    cries,    he    shouts    raucously    at    each

bitten  nails  and  slips  it  greedily 
into  the  pocket  of  his  filthy  trousers, 
before  he  even  counts  out  your

Then  he  picks  them  out  of  a  messy  cardboard

A  Word  for  Popular  Music 

In  high  school,  whenever  we  were  "stuck"  tor  an  oral  English  topic  or  an  editorial 
for  the  school  paper,  someone  always  dusted  off  that  old  favorite,  Is  Jazz  Music? 
Amid  a  volley  of  overworked  adjectives  and  exclamation  points,  we  decided  once  and 
for  all  that  jazz  most  certainly  was  not  music.  Having  settled  the  issue  to  the  great 
edification  of  our  teacher,  we  thereupon  went  home  and  listened  to  Cab  Calloway 
while  our  homework  remained  undone. 

But  the  years  have  brought  wisdom — or  possibly  honesty.  For  now  I  freely  admit 
that  I  think  jazz  is  munc.  Perhaps  I  am  taking  an  unfair  advantage  of  my  high-school 
friends,  because  I  suppose  I  do  not  really  mean  jazz.  I  mean  popular  music  as  we 
understand  the  term  when  we  refer  to  the  ordinary  radio  program.  This  does  not  include 
at  the  one  extreme  the  current  "swing"  craze  nor  at  the  other  extreme  those  composi- 
tions which  have  already  become  classics  in  our  own  day — Stravinsky's  Firebird  Suite 
or  DebussCs  Afternoon  of  a  Faun,  for  example.  These  latter,  written  along  a  more 
serious  and  classical  motif,  demand  a  technical  knowledge  which  I  do  not  possess.  In 
between  there  two  extreme:.,  however,  there  is  a  great  deal  which  we  dismiss  as  popular, 
but  which  is  really  artistic  in  a  certain  sense. 

Everybody's  favorite,  of  course,  is  Cole  Porter.  For  audacious  rhyme  schemes, 
Mr.  Porter  is,  in  his  own  language,  "the  top."  One  of  the  best  examples  of  his  use  of 
intricate  rhyming  (very  much  like  Ogden  Nash's  crazy  verse)  is  in  that  frothy  con- 
coction, "You're  the  Top."  If  you  don't  think  it's  difficult  to  match  things  like  Mona 
Lisa  and  the  tower  of  Pisa,  and  to  cover  a  range  of  subjects  wide  enough  to  include  a 
Shakespeare  sonnet  and  a  Mickey  Mouse,  then  you  have  never  tried  to  write  a  parody. 
I  did,  and  the  best  I  could  muster  up  was  "a  tale  by  Runyon"  and  a  "Bermuda  onion." 
The  imitations,  need  I  add,  never  even  approach  the  original.  "I  Get  a  Kick  Out  of 
You"  is  another  of  Porter's  grand  light  numbers.  The  rhythm  in  it  is  a  continual  sur- 
prise;  the  lines  always  turn  out  a  little  longer  than  you  expected — once  again  like  Ogden 
Nash.  It's  like  hearing  a  new  tune  every  time. 

But  his  loveliest  number  thus  far  is  "Night  and  Day."  Somehow,  in  some  quite  in- 
definable way,  Cole  Porter  has  managed  to  permeate  the  whole  song  with  that  very 
"haunting"  note.  The  "beat  beat  beat  of  the  tom-tom"  becomes  an  actuality.  For  sheer 
creation  of  atmosphere,  "Night  and  Day"  is  unrivalled. 

There  are  many  who  would  not  include  George  Gershwin  among  the  composers  of 
"popular"  music.  It  is  true,  of  course,  that  some  of  his  best  work  lifts  him  out  of  the 
popular  group  to  the  more  definitely  classical,  things  like  his  American  in  Paris.  How- 
ever, his  range  is  so  wide  that  he  may  be  admitted  into  practically  any  musical  group. 
Some  of  his  work  while  truly  artistic,  as  for  example  his  "Rhapsody  in  Blue,"  is  as 
well  known  to  the  radio  public  as  any  swing  song.  The  score  from  Pori/y  and  Bess 
achieved  a  definite  popularity  last  summer  and  one  was  likely  to  hear  "I  Got  Plenty  of 
Nuthin'  "  and  "Summertime"  at  a  mere  twist  of  the  dial.  It  seems  to  me  that  this 
score  from  Porgy  and  Bess  is  one  of  the  finest  interpretations  of  the  negro  life  in 
America  that  we  have,  surpassing  even  Stephen  Foster's  interpretation.  Gershwin  has 
managed  to  include  the  whole  negro  spirit — the  carefree  acceptance  of  life,  the  pre- 
occupation with  simple  things,   the  free  and  easy  philosophy  of  Catfish   Row.  At  the 


footprints     1937 


same  time  he  has  succeeded  in  omitting  the  sentimentality  that  is  intrinsic  in  Foster's 
work. 

Last  fummer  I  attended  an  all-Gershwin  concert  at  the  Lewisohn  Stadium.  Mr. 
Gershwin  himself  played  the  "Rhapsody  in  Blue."  It  was  remarkable  to  watch  the 
audience:  everyone  was  intensely  conscious  of  the  rhythm,  swaying  ever  so  slightly  and 
humming  inaudibly.  The  whole  mood  of  the  music  transferred  itself  to  the  audience. 
While  Mr.  Gershwin  was  playing  it  began  to  rain,  but  no  one  stirred.  Many  persons 
had  brought  umbrellas  but  none  were  opened.  After  he  had  finished  the  crowd  stood 
in  the  rain  for  several  minutes,  applauding  in  pure  appreciation.  I  should  like  to  have 
been  George  Gershwin  on  that  night. 

There  are  isolated  songs,  too,  with  which  we  have  become  familiar,  that  deserve  to 
be  classified  as  music.  There  is  a  medley  which,  while  already  well  known,  gained  added 
fame  because  of  Glen  Gray's  adaptation.  The  medley  includes  "Sophisticated  Lady,'' 
"Stardust"  and  "Smoke  Gets  in  Your  Eyes."  I  don't  particularly  care  for  "Sophisticated 
Lady,"  but  that  may  be  a  family  prejudice — my  cousin,  a  saxophone  player  in  the 
making,  uses  it  as  his  theme  song.  Too  much  of  anything  is  still  too  much.  But  the  other 
two  are  lovely.  I  always  think  of  them  in  connection  with  diaphanous  evening  gowns, 
long  curly  eyelashes,  thin  wisps  of  cigarette  smoke,  the  Persian  Room,  a  Russian 
countess.  .  .  .  Yet  they  are  none  the  less  enchanting  for  their  artificial  setting. 

Among  the  musical  shows  that  have  offered  very  fine  scores  as  their  contribution 
to  our  musical  library  we  have  New  Moon,  Rio  Rita,  Hit  the  Deck,  No.  No,  Nanette.' 
and,  of  course,  the  incomparable  Show  Boat.  The  "Ol'  Man  River"  from  Shoiv  Boat 
is  another  line  interpretation  of  American  negro  life.  What  Gershwin  has  done  for 
Catfish  Row,  Kern  has  done  for  life  along  the  Mississippi.  Words  and  music  combine 
to  suggest  the  philosophy  that  is  part  and  parcel  of  American  river  life.  In  much  the 
same  manner,  Ferde  Grofe's  Grand  Canyon  Suite  suggests  that  vastness  and  freedom 
that  we  associate  with  the  West.  It  is  as  exhilarating  as  reading  a  chapter  from  Hamlin 
Garland  or  Willa  Cather.  As  you  listen  to  the  first  part  of  the  suite,  "On  the  Trail," 
vou  can  almost  hear  hoofbeats  and  you  fancy  yourself  following  a  winding  trail.  Even 
the  strident  voice  of  the  radio  announcer  calling  for  a  popular  cigarette  cannot  take 
the  sound  of  the  hoofbeats  out  of  your  ears. 

I  once  heard  a  famous  Jesuit  discussing  modern  music,  and  he  admitted  that  he  did 
have  a  quarrel  with  it.  He  said  that  much  of  it  does  appeal  to  that  which  is  base  and 
elemental  in  our  nature  ;  that  it  is  very  closely  allied  at  times  to  the  savage  and  un- 
civilized music  of  the  barbarian.  But,  he  added,  there  is  something  to  be  said  in  favor 
of  our  modern  music.  It  has  rhythm — rhythm  that  is  compelling  and  joyous  and  alive. 
Perhaps  I  might  have  confined  my  "word"  in  praise  of  modern  music  to  that  one  point: 
it  has  got  rhythm.  And  who  could  ark  for  anything  more?

To  the  world  in  general  the  months  rolled  along  as  usual,  and  September  was  just 
one  of  them,  but  to  us  it  was  a  momentous  occasion.  On  the  twenty-first  of  that  month 
we  experienced  a  warm  satisfying  feeling  on  our  return  to  St.  Joseph's  College. 

To  follow  tradition  we  hazed  the  Freshmen,  but  we  could  not  long  maintain 
that  attitude.  In  fact,  the  first  few  weeks  back,  some  of  us,  not  yet  accustomed  to  being 
called  "Sophomores,"  found  ourselves  attending  Freshman  clacs  meetings. 

On  November  the  third  our  hearts  were  saddened  at  the  news  of  the  tragic  death 
of   Kathryn   Cross.   Kitty  was  one  of   the  most   popular   and   outstanding  girls   in   our

class  and  her  place  can  never  be  filled.  In  our  hearts  she  will  remain  always  a  member 
of  the  class  of  '39. 

As  enthusiastic  Sophs,  Arleen  Andersen  and  Jane  Walsh  made  the  Varsity  Basket- 
ball. Through  the  leadership  of  Janet  Lewis,  the  students  of  the  college  witnessed  the 
arrival  of  a  fencing  team. 

Since  we  achieved  the  dignified  standing  of  Sophomores  we  have  been  consulted 
regarding  important  matters  of  college  administration.  Who  can  forget  Grace  Seims  as 
U.  A.  treasurer?  Marion  Kinsley,  Jean  Gillespie,  and  Birdie  Antonades  have  been 
selected  to  represent  us  on  the  Exam  Committee  ;  Alda  Giardinere  and  Mary  Concannon 
on  the  Attendance  Committee;  and  Miriam  Lally  and  Margery  Phillips  on  the  Point 
System  Committee. 

Bea  Hunkele  as  treasurer  of  the  Dramatic  Society,  Lleanor  van  Wagner  as  secre- 
tary of  the  History  Club,  and  Mary  Kane  as  treasurer  of  A.  A.,  have  distinguished 
themselves.  Replete  with  talent,  the  Sophomores  have  made  themselves  famous  at  St. 
Joseph's  theater.  Ursula  Reilly,  Ann  Brady,  Marie  Gough  and  Madeline  Warganz 
are  our  class  dramatists. 

With  Ruth  McManus  as  chairman,  Sophomore  Class  Day  was  successful  and  well 
planned.  We  have  tried  to  maintain  the  reputation  St.  Joseph's  College  has  earned.

Via  Media 

The  advances  made  by  science  in  this  ultramodern  age  have  quickened,  in  a  certain 
sense,  the  tempo  of  our  living  and  forced  men  to  lay  stress  upon  what  is  immediate 
rather  than  upon  what  is  important.  The  man  who  considers  gravely  the  possible  ulti- 
mate consequences  of  a  present  act  is  a  rare  individual,  but  the  world  is  in  dire  need  of 
such  rare  persons,  for  the  social  problems  of  today  and  of  tomorrow  can  only  be 
solved  by  deep-thinking  men. 

The  progress  of  nations  through  the  ages  seems  to  prove  irrefutably  that  it  is  the 
nature  of  nations  that  they  be  reared  by  men,  that  they  be  loved  by  men,  and  ulti- 
mately that  they  be  destroyed  by  men.  This  is  akin  to  saying  that  men  grow  tired  of 
thinking  and  of  watching  and  of  planning  for  a  day  other  than  their  own  and  for  the 
good  of  persons  other  than  themselves.  But  "when  the  journey's  over  there'll  be  time 
enough  to  sleep."  While  we  are  living  de  facto  we  act,  and,  no  matter  how  narrow  our 
vision,  the  only  profitable  modus  operandi  has  an  eye  on  the  road  behind  and  an  eye  on 
the  road  ahead. 

If  there  is  any  lesson  to  be  drawn  from  a  view  of  the  road  behind,  a  road  strewn 
with  relics  of  fallen  nations,  it  can  best  be  drawn  from  the  one  civilization  which  in- 
cluded and  blended  into  one  whatever  was  of  lasting  value  in  all  the  cultures  of  an- 
tiquity. This  civilization  was,  of  course,  the  Roman. 

The  glorious  civic  pride  which  sustained  Rome  throughout  so  many  centuries  of 
trial  and  which,  when  forgotten,  brought  disaster,  was  born  of  the  proposition  that  law 
is  the  basis  of  true  liberty.  The  glory  of  Rome — and  we  must  be  careful  to  distinguish 
Rome's  glory  from  the  grandeur  with  which  she  has  been  gilded  by  the  romantic  his- 
torian— is  a  testimony  to  the  truism  that  what  men  call  liberty  or  freedom  presupposes 
limitation  or  restraint.  Liberty  without  limitation  or  freedom  without  restraint  is  a 
nonentity,  a  contradiction  in  terms.  On  the  other  hand,  restraint  presupposes  freedom, 
limitation  presupposes  liberty.  In  any  society  of  men  a  recognized  balance  between  the 
two  must  be  preserved  and  just  so  long  will  a  nation  endure. 

In  our  so-called  "land  of  the  free"  men  have  been  apt  to  forget  the  universal 
validity  of  the  balance  between  freedom  and  restraint.  The  merchant  has  demanded  a 
wider  application  of  the  system  of  laissez  faire ;  the  teacher  has  demanded  a  much- 
heralded  academic  freedom  for  himself  and  has  advocated  the  depriving  of  education 
of  its  normative  qualities;  the  philosopher  has  demanded  a  freedom  of  thought  which 
leads  to  nowhere.  Recently  men  have  begun  to  have  some  realization  of  the  folly  of 
undue  freedom,  and  the  forces  of  reaction  have  set  the  pendulum  swinging  back  toward 
the  other  extremity  of  needless  restriction.  There  is  an  immediate  danger  in  the  proba- 
bility of  our  going  too  far  in  this  direction.  True  progress  does  not  consist  in  jumping 
from  one  extreme  to  another  but  lies  somewhere  along  the  via  media,  and  when  a 
nation  has  learned  to  follow  this  path  then  only  will  its  land  be  peopled  by  "Rich  men 
in  virtue,  studying  beautifulness :  living  at  peace  in  their  houses."

Once   Upon  a   Time 


For  hundreds  of  years  the  minds  of  children  have  been  entertained  by  imaginative 
tales  and  perhaps  for  hundreds  of  years  more  they  will  continue  to  welcome  these  stories 
just  as  eagerly. 

The  more  adventurous  the  story,  the  more  rapt  will  be  the  interested  attention.  If 
we  improvise  on  H.  G.  Wells's  ingenuity  and  skip  a  few  years — backwards — and  if  we 
go  about  the  matter  logically,  we  hope  to  prove  that  animal  stories  held  our  attention 
until  the  giants  and  fairies  came,  who  in  turn  were  followed  by  knights  in  armor. 

Those  three  little  kittens  who  couldn't  decide  about  their  mittens  were  long-stand- 
ing favorites.  I  can  still  picture  the  three  little  pigs — two  of  them  singing  and  dancing 
while  the  third  was  busy  with  his  I-toId-you-so  air  as  he  cemented  his  bricks.  This,  in 
some  incoherent  way,  reminds  me  of  the  Tar  Baby.  I  can't  remember  the  story  but  I 
do  remember  that  for  weeks  I  mourned  the  poor  creature,  who,  be  he  fox  or  what 
have  >ou,  finally  became  affiliated  with  the  tar  in  quite  a  big  way.  The  Easter  season 
always  called  for  Peter  Rabbit,  who  loved  carrots  and  cabbage  too  much. 

I  think  I'll  skip  the  giants  with  nary  a  word,  because  the  only  one  I  remember  is 
from  "Jack  and  the  Beanstalk"  and  everybody  knows  him  anyway. 

"Once  there  was  a  noble  knight  in  glistening  armor  clad,  and  upon  his  steed  ar- 
rayed .  .  ."  Stories  that  began  thus  could  even  reconcile  me  to  chocolate  ice  cream  in- 
stead of  the  preferred  vanilla.  I've  had  my  fill  of  St.  Georges,  Lancelots  and  Galahads 
with  their  Elaines  and  Guineveres.  And  A.  A.  Milne's  other  side  of  the  picture,  in  his 
"The  Knight  Whose  Armor  Didn't  Squeak,"  always  struck  the  right  balance.  You  see, 
I  have  kept  the  fairy  stories  until  last;  they  always  appealed  to  me  most.  My  curiosity 
about  the  fairies  never  seemed  quite  satisfied.  I  finally  pictured  them  as  small  mys- 
terious beings  who  carried  wands  which  sometimes  had  stars  on  them.  But  as  for  the 
rest,  rav  imagination  supplied  the  details.  As  I  look  back  now,  I  can  recall  my  favorite 
version  of  fairyland. 

There  was  a  beautiful  garden  which  seemed  isolated  from  the  rest  of  the  world. 
Refreshing  pine,  sturdy  oak,  stately  birches  and  graceful  willows  outlined  the  lake 
which  shone  silver  by  the  light  of  the  moon.  A  circular  flower  bed  close  to  the  water's 
edge  contained  every  shade  of  the  rainbow  from  palest  gold  to  deepest  purple.  This 
little  section  of  nowhere  knew  no  change  of  season  ;  it  was  always  as  fresh  as  winter,  as 
young  as  spring,  as  vibrant  as  summer  and  as  lovely  as  autumn.  Each  midnight  as  the 
moon  rose,  the  garden  became  a  symbol  of  silver  splendor.  A  strange  bird's  song  hailed 
the  arrival  of  the  fairies.  Music  came  from  the  tiny  silver  bells  in  their  hair,  about 
their  arms  and  necks  and  in  the  folds  of  their  dresses.  The  hair  and  dresses  of  the 
fairies  seemed  to  be  woven  of  the  moonlight  itself.  They  crooned  softly,  and  if  one 
cared  to  listen,  their  whisperings  told  a  hundred  things.  And  there  by  the  edge  of  the 
lake,  the  little  people  sang  and  danced  until  the  dew  and  the  dawn.

Speaking  to  Our  Elders 

You  call  us  the  postwar  generation.  Today  the  term  is  synonymous  with  "proh- 
lem,"  but  we  are  more  than  a  mere  prohlem.  We  have  exceeded  the  bounds  within 
which  problems  are  studied.  We  can  no  longer  be  relegated  to  statistics,  nor  dosed  with 
a  common  remedy  of  society,  nor  discussed  in  the  pages  of  a  wise  man's  book.  Our  con- 
ditions are  too  complex  to  be  treated  collectively.  Only  our  outlook  defines  us:  we  our- 
selves are  a  disorganized  body  that  aches  in  many  parts,  and  we  must  bear  examination 
if  we  are  to  work  out  our  cure. 

First  of  all  there  is  the  question  of  our  numbers.  In  America  alone,  we  are  count- 
less. You  see  us  everywhere.  In  the  more  fortunate  strata  we  are  crowding  your  schools 
because  there  is  no  work  outside.  In  lesser  spheres  we  are  even  more  numerous.  We  form 
a  good  part  of  your  breadlines;  we  dig  your  ditches,  work  your  mines,  clerk  your  offices; 
and,  backed  by  the  practical  philosophy  that  "a  fellow  must  live,"  many  of  us  are  riding 
your  freight  trains,  hobo  style.  In  the  East  we  pick  berries  in  the  country  or  shovel  snow 
in  the  city  for  the  winter.  In  the  South  we  sweat  on  your  share-cropper  farms  and  smile 
sardonically  at  a  myth  about  a  man  named  Lincoln.  In  the  West  the  face  of  a  drought- 
ridden  soil  gapes  up  at  us  as  we  turn  it  under  our  plow.  No  region  of  America  is  with- 
out us;  we  form  a  major  part  of  her  vast  population. 

On  the  whole  we  are  a  self-conscious  group,  given  primarily  to  self-analysis  and 
introspection.  We  are  thinkers  in  a  sense,  pondering  ourselves.  When  we  congregate, 
we  are  our  own  chief  topic  of  discussion.  We  argue  our  chances  or  the  lack  of  them; 
we  question  the  soundness  of  a  system  that  apparently  ignores  us  ;  we  talk  of  measures, 
reform,  action,  but  we  do  nothing.  When  we  write,  we  throw  our  own  shadows  into 
black  print.  Our  literature  is  realistic,  perhaps  drably  so,  but  it  is  our  propaganda.  When 
we  attend  lectures,  we  want  to  hear  ourselves  discussed  ;  we  want  to  listen  again  to 
those  phrases,  "youth  must  be  hopeful,"  "youth  needs  guidance,"  and  to  that  slogan 
about  something,  we  know  not  what,  that  is  "just  around  the  corner." 

This  self-consciousness  is  especially  evident  in  our  colleges  and  universities,  where 
we  try  to  find  the  solutions  to  our  problems  in  lecture  rooms  and  study  halls.  All  too 
often  these  proffered  solutions  are  only  shallow  theories,  verging  on  radicalism  of  a  most 
pessimistic  sort.  Far  from  aiding  us,  they  tend  to  make  us  critics  of  the  past  and  preach- 
ers of  a  reformed  present.  They  are  a  menace  to  ideals  of  liberty  and  democracy,  and  are 
based  on  false  interpretations  of  history  and  on  the  materialistic  philosophies  of  radical 
social  economists.  Impractical  though  they  are,  they  play  hard  upon  our  discontent.  Be- 
cause the  right  has  weakened,  we  are  prone  to  lean  toward  the  left.  We  cannot  see  the 
good  points  of  the  old  as  we  cannot  see  the  bad  points  of  the  new.  We  are  blinded  by  the 
puzzle  before  us,  but  somehow  we  are  moved  more  by  impatience  than  by  conviction. 
While  time  may  temper  our  enthusiasm,  our  radical  groups  will  not  be  silenced  until 
conservatism  has  again  found  itself  and  adjusted  its  economic  systems. 

Although  many  of  you  are  studying  our  conditions  with  a  view  to  their  improve- 
ment, your  conclusions  are  essentially  the  same.  We  must  be  given  counsel,  recreational 
advantages,  training  for  practical  work  and  general  moral  guidance.  All  these  are,  in 
a  sense,  merely  suggestions,  fur  the  actual  solution  lies  with  us.  We  are  burdens  to 
ourselves  in  our  idleness  and  in  our  inability  to  act  constructively.  The  pang  of  wanting 

ninety-eight 


saint     Joseph's     college 


what  we  cannot  have  is  a  major  compla.nt  of  many  of  us.  Primarily  we  want  work.  We 
want  to  feel  the  stability  and  the  freedom  that  comes  with  a  job.  Most  of  us  want 
luxuries  as  well,  and  we  resent  the  system  that  would  deny  them  to  us.  We  want  a 
small  income,  but  one  generous  enough  to  allow  us  to  pay  for  our  amusements  and  to 
meet  our  emergencies.  Surely  in  all  the  wealth  of  this  land  that  portion,  at  least,  be- 
longs to  us. 

One  of  our  greatest  needs  at  present  is  a  sane  perseverance  in  which  pessimism  has 
no  place.  We  must  hold  fast  to  our  ideals,  for  there  is  reason  to  support  them  ;  we 
must  not  relinquish  our  stubborn  claim  against  this  hoarding  universe.  If  we  knock  hard 
enough,  the  doors  will  open. 

And  until  that  time,  what  have  we  to  su.tain  us?  Merely  our  outlook.  It  is  op- 
timistic, for  dreams  still  hold  a  place  in  our  schemes,  but  our  optimism  has  been  tem- 
pered by  past  disappointments  and  the  prospect  of  future  trials.  Our  hopes  have  been 
bridled  by  realities  and  a  very  slight  tinge  of  resentment.  They  are  not  stifled,  however, 
they  are  merely  stabilized.  We  have  not  lost  our  inherent  belief  in  the  ultimate  adjust- 
ment of  things,  nor  have  we  forgotten  that  seeds  bear  fruit.  And  once  our  seeds  take  firm 
root  in  the  soil,  we,  too,  shall  reap  a  full  harvest  of  the  good  earth.

Revery 

June,  how  it  could  coax  you  out  of  doors 
To  watch  it  paint  a  sunset  in  the  sky, 
To  see  the  purple,  orange  and  the  gold 
Fading  in  the  west ;  how  reverently 
You  gazed  up  at  the  quiet,  distant  hills 
And  felt  their  kinship,  loved  their  silences, 
Their  nearness  to  the  clouds;  and  how  the  wind 
Would  tell  you  of  the  presence  of  a  flower; 
How  you  smiled  as  every  scent  revealed 
Secrets  of  the  closing  twilight  hour  ; 
And  how  you  loved  the  patterns  in  the  trees 
Woven  of  shade  and  branch  and  clustered  leaves. 

So  long  ago  that  was,  but  you  remember 
Though  you  have  fled  all  seasons,  June  again 
Can  lure  you  with  a  sunset ;  and  I  know 
That  at  this  hour,  too  sacrosanct  for  talking, 
When  day  holds  solemn  vespers  in  the  sky, 
And  evening  steals  aloft  to  sanctify, 
In  some  enchanted  forest  you  are  walking.

College  days!  The  hazy  dreams  of  childhood  clear  into  more  definite  goals.  Such 
were  our  sentiments  when  the  sacred  portal-  of  Saint  Joseph's  were  drawn  aside,  and, 
flushed  with  the  new-won  laurels  of  high  school,  we  rather  boldly  entered. 

We  were  fascinated  by  our  first  taste  of  college  life,  with  a  tea  given  in  our  honor, 
and  the  solicitude  of  our  Junior  sisters  that  we  hecome  properly  acquainted  with  the 
college,  until 

We  were  brought  back  to  earth  suddenly  by  the  stern  edicts  of  those  cruel  Sophs 
who  prescribed  hair  ribbons  and  bibs.  We  wore  them  bravely  for  a  week  during  which 
it  seemed  our  sole  purpose  was  to  amuse  the  uppercla  smen. 

Upon  the  completion  of  our  two  weeks'  course  in   Freshman  Education  we  were 


hundred   tiro

given  an  examination  in  the  Handbook,  and  fearfully  we  watched  the  bulletin  board 
for  the  results  which,  thank  heaven,  never  appeared. 

Possibly  our  first  great  thrill  came  the  day  we  were  invested  in  the  cap  and  gown. 
On  that  day  we  appreciated,  at  last,  the  dignity  we  had  been  looking  for  in  our  new  life. 

It  was  through  the  medium  of  clubs  that  we  really  became  an  integral  part  of  St. 
Joseph's.  To  prove  our  versatility  we  were  represented  in  every  activity.  Two  of  our 
members,  Anne  Hyland  and  Helen  Skead,  were  selected  for  the  Varsity. 

Our  first  class  meetings  were  directed  by  Betty  Humann,  whom  we  wish  to  thank 
here  for  so  ably  guiding  us  until  we  elected  our  own  officers  in  December  '36. 

To  further  cement  the  friendships  which  we  had  made  during  the  year  our  class 
participated  in  an  extremely  successful  class  day,  one  to  be  long  remembered.  The 
thanks  for  this  is  due  to  Jeanne  Gorman,  chairman,  who  planned  and  carried  out  our 
day's  activity.  We  attended  holy  Mass  in  a  body,  after  which  breakfast  was  served  in 
the  college.  That  evening  we  went  to  a  theater  party. 

In  April  '37  we  experienced  the  pleasure  of  seeing  our  class  banner  raised  in  the 
"rec,"  a  reminder  that  a  year  had  slipped  by  almost  unrealized. 

We  Freshmen  are  now  real  members  of  the  student  body  of  St.  Joseph's  College 
and  look  forward  to  the  next  step — being  Sophomores.

Silence 

Dear,  there  has  grown  between  us  day  bv  dav 
A  silence  like  the  breathless  pause  of  night ; 
Our  thoughts  meet  in  some  secret  place;  our  words 
Have  fled  like  birds  to  wonders  out  of  sight. 
My  eager  throbbing  heart  cries  out  to  you; 
With  lips  that  move  with  words  unsaid,  I  go; 
I  turn  my  head,  because  my  eyes  tell  tales, 
And  yet,  my  dear,   I   almost  think  you  know. 

I  cannot  speak!  See  how  the  cliff  drops  down 

To  meet  the  sea,  and  leaves  us  here  above. 

In   isolation,   see   the   boundless   stretch 

Of  lonely  ocean,  infinite  as  love. 

The  sun  is  gone  from  view,  his  heart  is  hid 

But  clouds  reveal  him  by  their  radiant  glow. 

I  had  thought  to  hide  ray  heart — its  fire 

Would  not  be  veiled.  And  now,  at  last,  you  know!

Keats 

O  dreamer  of  the  dreams  of  ancient  Greece, 
Your  life  was  but  a  fantasy  of  night, 
You  never  knew  the  dawn  of  perfect  peace 
And  yet  the  night  sky  lent  you  light. 
You  caught  the  music  of  the  classic  spheres, 
The  magic  of  the  misty,  fertile  fall. 
You  set  them  to  the  ecstasy  of  tears, 
With  melancholy  you  enveiled  them  all. 

You  sang  of  beauty — Venus  held  her  breath  ; 

You  sang  of  life  and  life  was  raptured  art. 

Your  hands  were  stretched  for  love — and  met  young  death, 

Reluctant  fame  illumined  your  still  heart. 

The  laurels  fell  on  your  dead  brow — too  late — 

But   the  contentment  of   your  look  was  great.

Collectomaniacs 

In  the  spring,  with  other  contagious  and  dangerous  diseases,  comes  the  annual 
house  cleaning.  With  it,  too,  comes  a  rearrangement  of,  and  in  some  cases  a  decrease  in, 
the   respective   "collections"   of   each   member   of   the    family. 

Almost  invariably  Mother's  collection  consists  of  a  neat  group  of  baby  booties, 
snapshots  and  christening  caps.  These  are  frequently  drawn  out  of  their  retirement  to 
convince  people  that  Junior,  quarterback  on  his  college  team,  was  once  a  beautiful  little 
baby.  The  collection  is  a  relatively  permanent  one,  being  ended  only  when,  as  he  is 
sure  to  do,  Junior  marries  someone  of  whom  Mother  does  not  approve.  We  can  there- 
fore pass  over  Mother's  collection  with  little  thought  and  concentrate  on  the  less  perma- 
nent collections. 

Nuts,  bolts,  screws,  hinges,  nails — all  form  part  of  Father's  collection,  rivaling  local 
hardware  stores  in  the  variety  of  its  contents.  One  month  there  may  be  a  definite  trend 
toward  bolts,  but  the  next  month  nails  will  be  the  thing,  especially  if  a  new  house 
is  being  built  in  the  neighborhood.  As  for  the  more  intellectual  part  of  his  collection, 
now  it  is  an  accumulation  of  the  "best  works  of  literature"  procured  by  cutting  coupons 
from  daily  newspapers,  and  again  it  is  radios  or  home  and  farm  magazines.  His  col- 
lection is  definitely  opposed  to  Mother's  because  of  its  practical  and  untidy  nature. 

In  some  secluded  closet  one  may  always  find  an  odd  assortment  of  what  is  usually 
referred  to  as  "junk";  this  is  the  collection  of  the  small  boy.  Airplanes  and  soldiers 
are  scattered  among  the  other  things,  having  been  thrown  there  after  an  important 
battle.  In  a  corner  the  inevitable  bag  of  marbles  may  be  seen.  A  collection  of  pistols 
which  would  put  any  gangster  to  shame  is  in  evidence.  Scattered  about  are  the  large 
toys  which  are  so  frequently  forgotten  within  a  week  after  Christmas  and  are  in  an  un- 
recognizable state  by  Easter. 

Tall,  short,  light,  dark — all  are  represented  in  the  young  man's  collection  of  pic- 
tures. These  form  the  greater  part  of  his  pile  of  treasures  and  are  produced  on  all  occa- 
sions to  "show  the  boys  the  kind  of  women"  he  can  get.  Pipes,  too,  are  his  silent  testimony 
that  he  is  no  longer  a  child  but  a  man.  Holly  leaves  and  yellow  streamers  evidence 
the  fact  that  he  is  a  perennial  "decoration-tearer-downer." 

The  young  girl — here  we  meet  our  final  and  most  disturbing  problem,  for  her 
collection  is  diverse  and  inexplicable.  First,  there  is  her  makeup:  an  array  of  lipstick, 
nail  polish,  eye  shadow,  mascara,  rouge,  powder,  half  of  which  has  never  been  used 
and  three-quarters  of  which  will  never  be  u  ed  again.  Next,  there  is  her  mass  of  letters 
neatly  filed  according  to  person,  time,  or  some  other  suitable  classification.  Dance  pro- 
grams and  souvenirs  occupy  a  small  box  occasionally  disturbed  by  a  new  addition  to  its 
contents.  Her  diary,  because  of  the  numerous  pictures,  ticket  stubs  and  theater  pro- 
grams preserved  therein,  occupies  no  small  part  in  her  collection.  Lastly,  we  find, 
carefully  pressed,  the  corsages  from  various  formals,  which  she  firmly  vows  to  save  for 
either  one  of  two  occasions:  showing  them  to  her  grandchildren  or  meditating  on  them 
when  she  settles  down  to  spinsterhood. 

We  might  coin  a  name  for  it — collectomania ;  but  the  cure  evades  all  study.

London  in  the  Nineteenth  Century 

"I  would  live  in  London,  shirtless,  bookless  .  .  ."  wrote  Charles  Lamb.  To  this  very 
loyal  Londoner  is  also  credited  the  enthusiastic  boast  that  "London  is  the  only  fostering 
soil  of   genius." 

With  all  due  respect  to  Lamb — and  London — we  object  to  the  word  "only." 
However,  it  is  true  that  during  his  age  most  of  the  famous  writers  came  to  live  in  the 
great  metropolis  if  they  had  not  been  born  there. 

Although  these  men  did  not  share  Lamb's  exalted  opinion  of  London,  practically 
all  of  them  loved  the  place  dearly,  proof  of  which  is  seen  in  their  writings.  The  very 
atmosphere  of  the  "nation  of  London,"  as  Ue  Quincey  called  it,  abounds  in  the  litera- 
ture of  the  time. 

And  it  is  to  Charles  Lamb,  "the  staunchest  Londoner  of  them  all"  that  we  first 
turn  to  see  this. 

"I  don't  care  much  if  I  never  see  a  mountain,"  Lamb  said  in  a  letter  to  Words- 
worth. "I  have  passed  all  my  days  in  London  until  I  have  formed  as  many  and  intense 
local  attachments  as  any  of  your  mountaineers  could  have  done  with  dead  Nature." 
And  another  time:  "Oh,  never  let  the  lying  poets  be  believed  who  'tice  men  from  the 
cheerful  haunts  of  streets  .  .  ." 

Through  the  streets  of  London  he  takes  us — Fleet  Street,  the  Temple,  Christ's 
Hospital.  The  city  in  all  its  aspects  was  a  source  of  inspiration  to  him,  but  particularly  he 
loved  "the  huge  fermenting  mass  of  humankind."  Many  times  he  "shed  tears  in  the 
motley  Strand  for  fulness  of  joy  at  so  much  life." 

In  direct  contrast  is  Wordsworth,  to  whom  the  hum  of  the  city  was  torture.  But 
when  the  streets  were  empty  and  "the  tide  of  life  was  still"  we  have  him  producing  such 
deeply  stirring  sentiments  as  the  lines  upon  Westminster  Bridge. 

This  city  now  doth  like  a  garment  wear 
The  beauty  of  the  morning  .  .  . 

How  different  are  his  feelings  toward  London  in  another  poem  entitled  "London 
1802."  There  is  no  love  expressed  but  rebellion  against  the  materialism  to  which  London 
had  come.  "We  are  selfish  men   .   .   ."  he  criticizes  sharply. 

Another  who  shared  with  Wordsworth  a  deep  hatred  for  the  city  was  Lord  Byron, 
who  found  it  a  desert  of  strangers  in  which  society  was  too  often  "more  painful  than 
solitude."  It  was  more  or  less  a  spasm  of  respectability  which  caused  London  society 
to  so  completely  ostracize  the  young  noble  because  of  the  notoriety  of  his  marital 
troubles.  Byron's  later  writings  were  immensely  influenced  by  this  treatment.  In  Don 
Juan  he  bitterly  satirizes  aristocratic  society  giving  vent  to  his  earlier  feelings.  To  Tom 
Moore,  a  very  dear  friend,  he  wrote:  "You  live  near  the  stove  of  society,  where  you  are 
unavoidably  influenced  by  its  heat  and  vapours.  I  did  so  once — and  too  much — and 
enough  to  colour  my  whole  future  existence." 

And  there  are  other  examples,  too  numerous  to  explain,  which  illustrate  the  influ- 
ence of  London  in  English  literature,  but  we  must  not  forget  Leigh  Hunt  who  so 
vividly  pictures  life  among  the  lower  classes.  In  his  Autobiography,  he  describes  Christ's 
Hospital  with  all  its  human  qualities.  We  read  of  one  preacher  "who  had  a  habit  of 


s  a  i  n  t     j  o  s  e  p  h'  s     college 


dipping  up  and  down  over  his  book  like  a  chicken  drinking"  and  another  "with  sort  of  a 
high,  flat  voice  who  had  a  remarkable  way  of  making  a  ladder  of  it." 

His  shorter  essays  provide  a  very  realistic  view  of  the  city.  Passing  through  Lon- 
don with  him,  we  see  butcher  stores  and  fishmongers  with  "their  blood-dropping  sheep 
and  their  crimped  cod."  Or  we  meet  some  night  watchmen  on  the  way  to  work  who, 
Hunt  says,  had  a  "claim  on  the  people  indoors  which,  together  with  the  amplitude  of 
their  coating,  make  them  feel  themselves,  not  without  reason,  to  be  'somebody.  "  It  is 
these  delightful  word  pictures  of  London's  ordinary  people  and  places  that  make  Hunt 
so  valuable  to  the  student  of  social  history. 

Dickens — what  a  fascinating  teacher  of  social  history!  Nicholas  Niekleby  for  the 
educational  problem  ;  Little  Dorrit  for  the  evils  of  the  prison  system  ;  or  Hard  Tunis 
for  the  factory  system — in  all  the^e  novels  we  read  about  London.  There  is  no  great 
English  writer  who  has  more  completely  woven  London  into  hi>  work  than  Charles 
Dickens.  It  is  a  London  he  learned  to  know  from  actual  experience,  a  painful,  humiliat- 
ing experience  which  he  never  forgot  even  in  the  days  of  his  greatest  triumphs.  The 
London  of  his  novels  is  this  London  of  his  boyhood. 

As  a  child,  during  his  father's  imprisonment,  Dickens  worked  there  in  a  factory 
pasting  labels  on  blackening  bottles  for  approximately  one  dollar  and  fifty  cents  a  week. 
Here  he  obtained  a  background  for  his  later  work,  such  as  Little  Dorrit ,  a  study  reveal- 
ing the  sufferings  of  the  London  poor  and  the  terrors  of  debtors'  prison.  At  fifteen  he 
was  working  in  a  law  office  at  Gray's  Inn,  which  he  later  described  as  "that  stronghold 
of  melancholy,  one  of  the  most  depressing  institutions  in  brick  and  mortar  known  to 
the  children  of  men."  Or  again  in  Bleak  House  Dickens  writes  that  the  best  time  to  in- 
troduce us  to  the  chancery  courts  was  in  the  "implacable  November  weather"  when 
"the  raw  afternoon  is  rawest  and  the  dense  fog  is  densest,  and  the  muddy  streets  are 
muddier,  where  at  the  very  heart  of  the  fog  sits  the  Lord  High  Chancellor." 

The  system  of  the  London  courts  was  very  hateful  to  Dickens.  In  his  various  works 
there  are  over  fifty  scenes  in  chambers  and  halls  of  lawyers.  Many  of  the  social  condi- 
tions against  which  he  wrote  were  corrected  because  of  the  vigor  of  his  attacks. 

And  so  we  see  that  it  is  through  the  world  of  literature,  as  well  as  in  the  old  houses 
and  literary  shrines  for  which  London  is  so  famous,  that  we  can  bring  back  the  past 
of  this  romantically  human  city.

Brief  Interlude 


There  is  some  indefinable  quality  contained  in  the  abstract  which  will  always  at- 
tract and  arouse  the  human  intellect.  With  such  an  unlimited  scope  the  mind  is  able  to 
transcend  the  barriers  of  specific  detail  and  hover  over  the  broader  realms  of  random 
considerations.  Writers  of  no  great  experience  are  warned  against  the  use  of  the  abstract 
in  their  works  becau  e  too  o!ten  the  freedom  of  expression  which  it  offers  leads  one  to 
overstep  the  limits  of  conventional  form.  Aware  of  all  these  facts  and  mindful  of  that 
oft-repeated  expression,  "Fools  rush  in  where  angels  fear  to  tread,"  I  stand  unabashed, 
ready  to  plunge  into  a  world  of  unreality. 

Perhaps  it  would  not  be  inappropriate  at  this  point  to  distinguish  between  the  two 
spheres  under  consideration.  The  first,  surveyed  with  brevity,  may  be  described  as  the 
region  in  which  we  live,  the  practical  portion  of  our  lives,  utilizing  physical  and  mental 
capabilities  to  further  general  well-being.  The  second  sphere  interesting  us  at  present  is 
the  realm  of  the  imagination  or  that  place  relying  for  its  existence  almost  entirely 
on  the  transient  activities  of  the  mind.  Here  we  are  permitted  to  release  the  taut  strings 
of  suppressed  emotion  and  wander  in  a  labyrinth  of  unbridled  fantasy. 

Momentarily  forgetting  the  first  commonplace  things,  let  us  drift,  in  willful 
reverie,  upon  the  soothing  waters  of  the  river  Lethe,  our  quest,  this  intangible  land  of 
unreality.  Somewhere  countless  miles  ahead  it  stands  separated  and  aloof,  enveloped 
in  an  opalescent  mist.  The  sun,  beating  down  in  all  the  intensity  of  a  noonday  glare, 
has  ripped  the  misty  cloak  protecting  it  into  a  myriad  of  silken  threads.  On  the  breath  of 
a  light  breeze  these  reluctantly  unravel  and  drift  over  the  water  to  be  reflected  like 
lacy  wraiths  in  its  gleaming  depths.  As  we  move  closer  a  great  bird  plunges  through  the 
air,  rising  in  sweeping  arcs  above  the  highest  treetops.  Its  appearance  seem;  to  strike 
a  familiar  note  somewhere  within  us  as  we  recall  "At  length  did  come  an  Albatross, 
through  the  fog  it  came."  Coleridge,  too,  found  inspiration  here  in  the  bewitching  at- 
mosphere of  the  unreal.  Before  him  Cowper,  the  mad  poet,  describes  his  departure  from 
the  ordinary  in  the  words,  "I  was  a  stricken  deer  that  left  the  herd  long  since,"  and 
William  Blake  gives  voice  to  a  happier  transition  in  the  mystical  theme  of  his  Songs  of 
Innocence — 

And  we  are  put  on  earth  a  little  space. 

That  we  may  learn  to  bear  the  beams  of  love. 

Our  thoughts  are  interrupted  by  the  jarring  of  the  boat  as  it  scrapes  against  the 
shore.  From  the  bright  haze  before  us  figures  suddenly  emerge,  moving  about  in  an 
irridescent  glow.  On  more  interested  scrutiny  they  appear  to  be  shadowy  counterparts 
of  ourselves,  living  apart  in  an  ideal  state  of  Utopian  harmony.  All  endeavors  to  contact 
them  prove  futile  for,  totally  oblivious  of  any  foreign  presence,  they  continue  to  carry 
on  their  invisible  duties,  each  contributing  to  the  general  air  of  harmony. 

At  length,  wearied  by  the  failure  of  our  efforts  to  establish  communication,  we  settle 
back  to  let  sight  fill  in  the  gaps  which  sound  has  left  unanswered.  Even  here  our  ex- 
pectations are  blasted,  for  the  luminous  glow  of  a  moment  before  is  fading  with  the 
sinking  sun,  and  the  stray  wisps  of  fog  have  blended  once  again  into  a  heavy  mist.  For 
a  moment  we  cast  one  last  look  upon  the  scene  and  suddenly  the  darkness  is  complete 
and  we  return.

Autumn  Interlude 


Gosh!  but  this  is  the  life!  Strutting  down  a  shady  lane  with  Dan  makes  a  dog  feel 


pretty  great 


The  shooting  was  good  today  too!  We  certainly  were  lucky,  stumbling  upon 
that  nest  of  pheasants.  They  couldn't  get  away  from  Dan.  He  brought  down  three  fat 
ones  for  me  to  bring  back.  I  enjoy  that  part  of  the  sport.  They  feel  warm  and  soft  and 
have  a  queer  heavy  odor  about  them.  That  smell  will  always  remind  me  of  joyous  days 
in  the  field.  All  in  all  .  .  .  Hold  on!  Dan  is  stopping.  Guess  he's  going  to  rest  for  awhile. 

It's  fine  to  lie  close  beside  a  good  master.  His  hand  is  hard,  yet  kindly  on  my  head. 
I  wonder  if  he'd  mind  if  I  kissed  him.  Nothing  like  trying 

Crack ! 

Run,  dog,  run!  Dan  will  certainly  be  angry  about  this.  He  told  you  never  to  jump 
around  guns.  Oh  well!  Buck  up  and  go  back  and  take  your  medicine  like  a  real  dog.  I 
guess  he's  not  so  angry  after  all.  He's  stretched  out  there  on  the  grass  as  if  he  hadn't  a 
care  in  the  world. 

My,  but  it's  quiet  here  in  the  country.  Come  on,  Dan,  let's  go.  Why  doesn't  he 
move?  .  .  .  Even  poking  him  with  my  nose  doesn't  do  any  good.  Guess  I  might  as  well 
lie  down  next  to  him;  he  feels  a  little  cold.  Funny  thing  too — he  smells  a  little  like  the 
pheasants  do  when  I  bring  them  back.  .  .  .

Conformity 


He  could  hear  them  talking  about  him  as  he  neared  the  end  of  the  high  wooden 
boards  that  semicircled  the  lot.  Snatches  of  sentences  came  to  him:  "He  doesn't  call 
her  mother  ...  he  must  be  an  orphan  ...  he  calls  her  Stella  .  .  ."  The  abruptness  of 
the  thoughts  made  him  only  semiconscious  of  their  meaning.  It  was  like  a  program  some- 
one put  on  the  radio.  He  couldn't  help  hearing  it,  but  the  words  sounded  meaningless. 

They  were  still  jabbering  when  he  came  into  their  sight.  His  presence  startled  them, 
for  they  weren't  sure  whether  he  had  heard  or  not.  Finally  he  broke  the  silence  with  a 
curt  "Hello."  Someone  returned  his  greeting.  It  sounded  flat  and  dry.  Another  stillness 
followed. 

Then  one,  who  wanted  to  show  the  others  how  daring  he  was,  questioned,  "Why 
do  you  call  your  mother  Stella?"  Unexpected  in  its  hluntness,  the  question  cramped  his 
mind.  The  other  boy,  spurred  on  by  this  seeming  bashfulness,  queried,  "You're  adopted, 
aren't  you  ?" 

Vivified  by  this  thrust,  words  tripped  over  themselves  running  from  his  mouth.  "No, 
I'm  not  adopted,  Stella's  my  mother.  I  call  her  Stella  'cause  I  like  to — 'cause  I  want  to. 

I'm  always  gonna  call  her  Stella,  always,  always,  always "  And  off  flew  Stella's 

child  across  the  lot  crying  in  his  heart,  "I  hate  them,  I  hate  them!" 

Arriving  at  his  own  door,  he  hesitated  a  moment,  wiped  his  eyes,  blew  his  nose, 
then  quickly  opened  the  door  and  shouted  in  an  unnaturally  gay  voice,  "Hello,  Mother."

Nursery  School 


Within  the  past  few  years  increasing  stress  has  been  placed  on  the  need  for  training 
the  body,  mind  and  emotions  of  the  pre-school  child.  It  was  with  this  end  in  view  that 
the  nursery  school,  under  the  supervision  of  trained  psychologists,  was  founded  in  1 934. 

Each  year  has  been  marked  by  improvements,  the  most  outstanding  of  which  has 
taken  place  during  the  past  year.  This,  of  course,  is  the  acquisition  of  the  large  section  of 
property  adjoining  the  new  building,  which  has  been  converted  into  a  playground  for 
the  children.  It  is  thoroughly  equipped  with  jungle  gym,  slide  walking  beams,  swings, 
sandbox  and  wheel  toys,  which  are  so  essential  in  the  child's  physical  development.  Al- 
though provision  for  physical  development  is  made  in  the  playroom,  also,  in  such  ac- 
tivities as  ballplaying,  climbing  and  rhythms,  most  of  the  playthings  stimulate  mental 
activity  as  well.  Blocks,  picture  books,  storybooks,  puzzles,  paints,  crayons  and  scissors 
are  the  chief  aids  to  this  phase  of  the  child's  growth.  In  all  situations  there  is  opportunity 
for  emotional  development.  The  impulsive  are  continually  learning  to  act  cautiously, 
while  the  shy  quiet  child  is  led  to  a  livelier  enjoyment  of  life.  Early  necessity  for  ad- 
justing to  persons  of  varying  temperaments  will  equip  the  child  for  the  social  contacts 
of  later  life. 

These  are  the  objectives  around  which  the  daily  program  is  built.  In  cases  where 
harm  cannot  result  from  freedom  the  child  strengthens  his  power  of  judgment  by 
making  his  own  decisions.  Only  those  things  are  insisted  upon  which  result  in  the 
formation  of  useful  and  timesaving  habits.  Before  beginning  the  day's  work,  each  child 


hundred  ten 


saint     Joseph's     college 


must  visit  the  nurse.  After  the  examination  the  children  go  out  to  the  play  yard  for  a 
two-hour  period  of  free  play,  which  is  hroken  hy  a  short  rest  and  refreshment.  After  the 
return  to  the  nursery  school  an  hour  is  devoted  to  painting,  music,  puzzles  and  story- 
books. During  the  lunch  hour,  which  follows,  the  children  indulge  in  conversation,  and 
in  so  doing,  they  unconsciously  form  desirable  social  habits.  Because  of  the  great  amount 
of  energy  used  by  young  children,  the  early  part  of  the  afternoon  is  given  over  to  resting. 
The  remainder  of  the  afternoon  is  spent  in  playing  with  blocks  or  dolls,  until  their 
parents  call  for  them. 

To  insure  a  carry-over  of  results  from  the  nursery  school  to  the  home,  the  school 
keeps  in  close  contact  with  the  parents.  Conferences  are  held  in  which  the  parent  is  given 
information  on  the  best  method  of  managing  her  child.  Detailed  records  of  the  child's 
progress,  which  are  kept  in  the  school  office,  are  used  as  the  basis  of  the  regular  reports 
sent  to  the  home.  Advice  is  given  also  on  special  problems  with  which  the  parent  is 
confronted  in  the  home  and  which  she  finds  difficult  to  handle. 

Although  the  development  of  the  child  is  the  primary  aim  of  the  nursery  school,  it 
serves  also  as  a  means  of  training  the  college  student  in  the  methods  of  child  psychology. 
The  courses  which  she  takes  in  storytelling,  play  activities  and  direction  and  guidance 
of  young  children  are  vitalized  by  observation  and  actual  assistance  in  the  nursery 
school.  An  observation  booth,  sectioned  off  from  the  playroom,  allows  the  students  to 
watch  the  children  without  attracting  their  attention.  Such  observation  gives  an  under- 
standing of  the  significance  of  children's  experiences  and  a  knowledge  of  methods  of 
handling  children.  Through  this,  and  through  actual  assistance  in  the  care  of  the  children, 
the  students  are  qualified  for  positions  as  assistants  in  nursery  schools,  kindergartens 
and  day  nurseries.  The  nursery  school,  therefore,  is  a  means  of  testing  the  ability  of 
those  attracted  to  the  work  and  desirous  of  doing  graduate  work  in  that  field. 

The  nursery-school  movement  has  passed  the  formative  stage.  What  was  regarded 
as  an  experiment  is  now  recognized  as  the  essential  foundation  for  a  happy,  well- 
adjusted    adulthood.

We  returned  to  school  this  year  with  more  than  the  usual  excitement  and  en- 
thusiasm, for  there  were  more  than  the  usual  things  to  be  seen  and  enjoyed.  During 
the  summer  our  dreams  of  a  campus  were  realized,  for  with  the  purchase  of  a  building 
to  be  used  as  a  convent,  we  were  given  access  to  the  large  grounds  surrounding  it.  The 
new  library  was  yet  to  be  used  and  the  two  lunchrooms  were  waiting  to  be  completed. 

To  carry  through  this  idea  of  newness,  our  first  social  event  was  an  innovation.  A 
tea  and  reception  was  given  to  the  incoming  Freshmen  by  the  Undergraduate  Association, 
under  the  direction  of  Alice  Kennedy  \?8.  This  tea  replaced  the  numerous  parties 
previously  given  to  the  newcomers  by  each  class,  combining  them  into  one  affair. 

The  new  library,  called  Lorenzo  Hall  in  honor  of  Sister  Lorenzo,  former  registrar 
of  the  college  and  a  person  held  in  love  and  esteem  by  all  those  who  knew  her,  was  used 
immediately.  Soon  the  lunchrooms,  with  full  equipment,  were  completed.  A  sitting  room 
was  fitted  out  below  the  library  and  red  leather  furniture  was  bought,  for  our  ease  as 
well  as  to  enhance  our  social  events.  A  small  theater  and  music  room  were  set  aside  for 


one  hundred  fourtc 


saint     Joseph's     college 


the  use  of  the  Dramatic  Society  and  Glee  Club.  All  these  new  improvements  were 
shown  off  to  advantage  on  Parents'  Day,  under  the  chairmanship  of  Isabelle  Hession  '37. 
We  hope  they  were  as  impressed  as  we  were. 

Besides  incorporating  many  of  these  new  features,  we  renewed  the  ones  begun  last 
year.  The  students,  at  a  G.  A.  Forum,  expressed  their  desire  to  continue  the  use  of  sub- 
scription tickets.  Owing  to  the  success  of  last  year's  Fathers'  Club  Dance,  it  was  repeated, 
with  even  greater  enthusiasm  and  improvement,  through  the  combined  efforts  of  the 
Fathers'  Club,  Council  and  Religion  committees.  We  hope  it  remains  an  established 
feature.  When  Christmas  approached  we  continued  the  practice  begun  last  year  of  asking 
Catholic  Charities  to  give  us  the  names  of  twelve  needy  families.  Again  each  class  pro- 
vided the  food,  clothing,  toys  and  trees  for  three  of  them.  Having  provided  for  the  hap- 
piness of  others,  we  were  given  a  Christmas  Party  by  the  Undergraduate  Association, 
under  the  chairmanship  of  Lillian  Keenan  '37.  To  top  the  evening,  and  because  it  w  as 
so  appropriate,  the  members  of  the  Glee  Club  and  any  others  who  were  in  the  holiday 
spirit  sang  Christmas  hymns  and  carols  to  the  nuns  at  the  convent.  After  accepting  their 
invitation  to  see  their  chapel  we  left  for  the  Christmas  vacation. 

Examinations  occupied  us  upon  our  return,  but  soon  they  were  over,  retreat  began, 
and  the  next  week  a  new  semester  started.  The  U.  A.  Council  entertained  the  February 
Freshmen  with  a  tea.  Alice  Kennedy  was  again  appointed  chairman,  and  it  was  held  in 
our  new  reception  room,  with  the  officers  pouring.  The  "frosh"  were  initiated  into  the 
intricacies  of  the  building,  and  the  Council  tried  to  get  them  as  used  to  the  college  as 
possible  before  starting  their  classes. 

Pat  Billington  '37  was  appointed  chairman  of  Alumnae  Day.  In  order  to  celebrate 
the  day  set  aside  for  the  "grads"  and  to  make  them  as  welcome  as  possible,  Father 
Bracken's  Choir  again  entertained.  After  the  concert,  tea  was  served  in  the  gym  and  the 
"alums"  and  undergraduates  renewed  their  friendships. 

The  Student  Association  for  International  Peace  held  their  Peace  Conference  at 
the  college  on  February  thirteenth.  As  members  of  the  association  we  acted  as  hostesses 
at  the  luncheon  given  during  the  conference.  Miss  MacGillivray,  president  of  the  History 
Club,  was  chairman. 

Margaret  Young  was  appointed  chairman  of  the  Reception  to  High  School  Seniors 
and  so  in  May  the  school  was  opened  to  those  who  would  like  to  see  what  college  is  like. 
They  were  entertained  by  the  Dramatic  Society  and  Glee  Club.  We  hope  to  see  them 
all  in  the  future. 

It  would  be  serious  to  neglect  to  mention  our  G.  A.  programs.  They  were  planned 
by  Kathleen  Haigney  '37  and  were  a  pleasant  combination  of  education  and  entertain- 
ment. Thank  you,  Kay. 

Just  as  we  began  with  new  things,  we  end  with  the  old.  Graduation  approached  and 
soon  the  day  came  when  we  were  all  assembled  again  at  the  Academy  of  Music,  waiting 
impatiently  for  the  chord  of  music  to  start  the  march.  In  a  little  while  the  Seniors  became 
graduates,  and  with  the  turning  of  the  tassels  each  class  moved  up  another  step.  This 
year  will  ever  remain  a  notable  one  because  of  the  inception  of  so  many  new  features. 
We  hope  that  we  have  been  worthy  of  the  responsibility  placed  upon  us.

Religion  must  play  a  prominent  part  in  the  true  development  of  the  individual 
personality.  The  practice  of  religion  gives  a  spiritual  and  cultural  background  unobtain- 
able from  any  other  source.  To  make  religion  a  part  of  our  daily  lives  it  is  necessary  to 
inculcate  an  appreciation  of,  and  a  familiarity  with,  its  exercises.  The  interest  thus 
imparted  will  last  long  after  Commencement  Day. 

The  Religion  Committee  of  St.  Joseph's  College  performs  this  service  to  the  student 
body.  It  endeavors  to  interest  every  girl  in  the  religious  exercises  of  her  faith  and  to 
impart  a  lively  devotion  to  all.  There  is  no  suggestion  of  compulsion  in  regard  to  these 
exercises,  for  we  believe  that  would  defeat  the  end  we  seek. 

To  keep  the  student  mindful  of  her  Catholic  heritage  there  are  many  daily  acts  of 
devotion.  Morning  prayers  are  said  at  eight-fifty  to  bless  the  work  we  are  about  to 
undertake.  At  twelve  o'clock  Benediction  of  the  Most  Blessed  Sacrament  is  offered. 
The  priests  of  the  college  give  up  a  part  of  their  time  every  day  to  hearing  confessions. 

Every  First  Friday,  Mass  is  offered  for  the  student  body  at  eight  o'clock.  Breakfast 
is  provided  for  those  desiring  it.  From  twelve  noon  to  six  o'clock  Exposition  of  the 
Blessed  Sacrament  takes  place.  At  seven-thirty  begin  the  "Evenings  with  Christ."  These 
are  meetings,   held   expressly  for   the  Alumnae,   to  which   undergraduates   are   invited.

They  show  their  interest  by  attending  in  large  numbers.  This  year  the  meetings  have 
started  with  an  Open  Forum  conducted  by  the  priests  of  the  college.  The  topics  are 
on  timely  subjects,  and  have  provoked  much  discussion.  Many  have  been  aided  in 
understanding  the  Catholic  position  on  important  matters  of  the  day.  Following  the 
discussion  there  is  a  sermon  ;  Benediction  makes  the  fitting  close  of  a  day  devoted  to 
honoring  Our  Lord  in  the  Blessed  Sacrament. 

During  the  month  of  October  special  devotions  to  our  Blessed  Mother  are  prac- 
ticed. To  turn  our  minds  to  a  contemplation  of  the  ideal  woman,  the  Rosarv  and  the 
Litany  of  the  Ble-sed  Virgin  are  recited  aloud  during  Benediction.  The  popularity  of 
these  "October  Devotions"  is  a  sufficient  testimony  to  the  position  of  Mary  in  the 
hearts  of  the  students. 

With  the  approach  of  Advent  the  Committee  sponsors  a  Novena  to  the  Christ 
Child,  to  prepare  for  the  feast  of  Christmas.  A  lass  is  offered  every  morning,  and  the 
novena  exercises  are  conducted  then,  and  again  at  noon. 

The  last  week  of  January  is  the  time  for  the  annual  retreat.  All  Catholic  students 
are  required  to  attend,  but  we  feel  that  they  should  desire  to  do  so  since  they  appreciate 
the  tremendous  value  of  this  exercise.  The  retreat  lasts  for  three  days,  and  on  the  morning 
of  the  fourth  day  Mass  and  General  Communion  take  place.  The  retreat  this  year  was 
conducted  by  Father  Favier,  a  Franciscan. 

In  February  the  holy  season  of  Lent  arrives.  Appropriate  exercises  are  offered  by  the 
college,  to  prepare  for  Easter.  Starting  on  Ash  Wednesday.  Mass  is  offered  every  morn- 
ing. Breakfast  is  prepared  for  those  who  receive  Holy  Communion.  In  addition  to  the 
regular  Benediction  every  noon,  Stations  of  the  Cross  are  said  on  Mondays,  and  on 
Wednesday  short  Lenten  Sermons  are  delivered  by  Father  Dillon.  The  topics  for  the 
latter  are  from  suggestions  by  students  on  matters  that  are  of  paramount  importance  in 
our  present  scheme  of  life.  From  the  attendance  at  these  functions  it  would  seem  that 
the  students  are  deeply  interested  and  are  aware  of  the  spiritual  benefits  to  be  derived. 

The  Missal  Club  is  another  activity  sponsored  by  the  Religion  Committee.  The 
use  of  the  Missal  is  explained,  students  may  bring  up  problems  concerning  it  and  have 
a  solution  presented,  and  interesting  details  of  particular  Masses  are  discussed.  During 
this  Lent  a  new  custom  has  been  inaugurated  at  the  daily  Mass.  Some  of  the  students 
assist  at  Mass,  giving  the  responses  aloud.  This  is  to  make  our  participation  in,  and 
appreciation  of,  the  Sacrifice  of  the  Mass  more  complete. 

However,  all  the  activities  of  the  Religion  Committee  are  not  along  these  lines. 
They  sponsor  the  Annual  Fall  Dance  on  Hallowe'en  at  the  college.  Mary  Meehan  was 
chairman  of  this  year's  dance,  and  its  success  was  the  result  of  her  work  and  that  of  her 
committee.  The  proceeds  of  this  dance  go  to  the  Society  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Faith, 
in  which  every  student  is  enrolled. 

In  conjunction  with  the  Undergraduate  Council,  the  Religion  Committee  sponsored 
an  informal  dance  at  the  college  January  tenth.  This  dance  was  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Fathers'  Club. 

This  year  the  Religion  Committee  is  inaugurating  an  informal  Spring  Dance  on 
May  twenty-eighth  at  the  college.  At  this  writing  we  are  looking  forward  to  its  success 
with  high  hopes. 

Thus  we  see  that  religion  becomes  an  integral  part  of  the  college  student's  life  if 
she  will  but  meet  it  halfway.  She  may  take  advantage  of  the  tremendous  graces  of  her 
faith  so  freely  offered.  Religion  can  and  does  develop  both  soul  and  mind  to  a  depth  of 
understanding  and  a  richness  of  background  that  no  one  can  afford  to  overlook.

The  Attendance  Committee 


Cht 


Margaret  English 


Secretary 


Ruth  Whitbread 


In  the  problem  of  regulating  attendance  at  classes  the  students  themselves  are  per- 
mitted to  find  the  solution.  As  a  result  one  of  the  phases  of  student  administration  is  to 
be  found  in  the  Attendance  Committee. 

The  system  under  which  the  committee  works  consists  in  allotting  a  certain  number 
of  absences  in  each  course,  according  to  the  number  of  hours  it  meets  during  a  semester. 
If  any  student  exceeds  this  amount  she  must  account  to  the  committee  for  every  absence 
taken.  If  she  is  unable  to  do  this  satisfactorily  one  point  is  deducted  from  her  total 
number  of  points.  If,  however,  she  is  able  to  account  for  every  absence  her  appeal  is 
granted  and  no  penalty  is  inflicted. 

The  present  committee  is  functioning  under  a  new  plan  inaugurated  just  one  year 
ago.  Under  it,  instead  of  waiting  until  the  end  of  a  semester  and  then  hearing  the  cases 
of  all  the  students  who  are  "over-cut,"  as  was  previously  done,  the  committee  meets  once 
a  month,  and  at  that  time  all  students  must  account  for  every  absence  taken  during  the 
previous  month  or  else  forfeit  the  right  to  appeal  for  those  subjects  at  the  end  of  the 
semester.  When  this  happens,  the  student  automatically  suffers  the  prescribed  penalty. 

The  Attendance  Committee  feels  that  students  in  college  should  have  a  more 
mature  view  on  attendance  at  classes  than  the  one  they  held  while  in  high  school.  If,

however,  there  are  some  who  have  not  yet  reached  this  conclusion,  it  is  to  be  expected 
that  they  will  accept  with  good  grace  the  penalties  they  know  will  be  inflicted  if  the 
number  of  ab.ences  they  are  permitted  does  not  equal  the  number  they  have  taken.

Committee  for  Student  Administration 
of  Examinations 

Chairman  Elizabeth  O'Halloran  Secretary  Miriam   Mannix 

The  Committee  for  Student  Administration  of  Examinations  has  been  working 
under  the  present  regime  since  February  1935,  when  the  new  constitution  and  name 
were  unanimously  approved  by  the  student  body.  The  final  examinations  of  the  fol- 
lowing June  witnessed  the  inception  of  the  new  regime,  and  since  then  the  responsibility 
for  the  administration  of  examinations  has  been  the  lot  of  this  committee. 

About  the  same  time  formal  mid-semester  examinations  were  ruled  out  by  the 
faculty  and  students.  With  this  began  the  system  of  numerous  hour  quizzes  during  the 
term.  If  the  professor  chooses  to  manage  the  test  himself  that  is  out  of  committee  hands, 
i.e.,  as  far  as  the  administration  is  concerned.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is  part  of  our  function 
if  he  prefers  to  have  the  committee  take  charge,  and  we  shall  gladly  discharge  it. 

Coupled  with  the  right  of  administering  examinations  is  the  unhappy  duty  of  the 
committee  to  investigate  where  infringements  have  occurred.  It  is  at  the  same  time  the 
duty  of  the  students  to  report  any  infringements. 

The  members  of  the  present  committee  are  Elizabeth  O'Halloran,  Carol  Denelfo, 
Margaret  Young,  Katherine  Shea,  Cecelia  Greegan,  Miriam  Mannix,  Bertha  Antona- 
des,  Marion  Kingsley,  Jean  Gillespie,  Ann  Hyland,  Maude  Whitbread,  Evelyn  Winter.

Extra— Cur r icul ar  Activities  Committee 

Chairman  Yvonne   AuDION  Secretary  Ann   M.   Kane 

The  Extra-Curricular  Activities  Committee  was  organized  in  1927  as  another 
step  in  the  program  of  student  government  at  St.  Joseph's. 

The  aim  of  the  committee  is  twofold.  It  works  toward  the  stimulation  of  interest 
in  extra-curricular  activities  among  the  undergraduates,  and  at  the  same  time  prevents 
a  monopoly  of  student  offices  on  the  part  of  a  few.  By  a  system  of  non-academic  "points," 
this  work  is  carried  out.  Each  undergraduate  must  carry  not  less  than  three,  nor  more 
than  ten  of  these  points,  which  are  apportioned  by  the  committee  to  each  society,  office 
and  club.  If,  for  any  reason,  a  student  feels  she  can  not  possibly  conform  she  may  bring 
her  case  before  the  committee  which  will  act  as  a  court  of  appeals. 

Each  member  is  permitted  three  absences  each  semester.  If  she  exceeds  these  three 
she  will  be  called  before  the  committee  for  a  hearing.  The  penalty,  if  her  appeal  is 
denied,  is  debarment  from  social  activities  for  the  following  semester. 

During  the  past  year  a  new  policy  has  been  inaugurated  in  St.  Joseph's,  in  con- 
formity with  suggestions  made  by  the  Faculty  Committee.  Beginning  with  this  semester, 
the  records  of  each  student's  extra-curricular  activity  will  be  kept  in  the  office.  This 
record  will  consist  of  the  names  of  all  activities  to  which  the  student  has  contributed  or 
in  which  she  has  been  registered,  plus  a  rating  she  received  in  each  activity. 

This  entire  system  is  based  on  the  belief  that  the  social  side  is  a  very  prominent  part 
of  college  life.  We  of  St.  Joseph's  believe  that  the  truly  educated  woman  is  the  one  who 
can  take  her  place  as  a  graceful  and  intelligent  member  of  society.

The  student  body  is  gathered  in  the  gymnasium  to  review  the  athletic  season  of 
'36— '37.  We  see  a  "Potpourri" — a  game  of  many  games  played  by  the  Athletic  Associa- 
tion members  assembled  in  many  teams.  The  president,  Miss  Young,  blows  her  whistle 
and  the  game  is  begun. 

First  Quarter 

The  members  of  the  Varsity,  gay  in  their  new  yellow  uniforms,  run  out  onto  the 
floor  of  the  gymnasium,  following  their  captain,  Peggy  English.  We  have  had  a  success- 
ful season,  and  an  interesting  schedule,  thanks  to  the  management  of  Betty  O'Halloran. 
Up  to  the  last  game,  our  Varsity  remained  an  undefeated  team,  losing  the  Manhattanville 
game  by  one  point.  We  are  proud  of  our  Varsity  and  its  victories  over  Brooklyn  College, 
Hunter  College,  New  York  University  and  the  College  of  Mount  St.  Vincent. 

Second  Quarter 

Down  at  the  far  end  of  the  court  we  see  volley  ball  nets  being  placed  in  position. 
Frances  McLoughlin,  the  manager,  raises  her  whistle  as  a  signal  for  the  game  to  begin.

The  two  teams  are  composed  of  the  interclass  teams  which  have  already  completed  their 
tournament.  The  teams  are  evenly  matched  and  the  competition  is  keen.  While  this  game 
is  being  played,  at  the  near  end  of  the  court  Janet  Lewis  gives  an  example  of  the  expert 
marksmanship  of  her  Rifle  Squad.  Their  unerring  aim  is  to  be  c(  mplimented. 

Third   Quarter 

Margaret  Berkery,  manager  of  interclass  basketball,  calls  for  her  teams.  They  give 
a  demonstration  of  the  various  ;  kills  that  are  essential  to  a  successful  team.  After  this 
these  teams  leave  the  floor.  Margaret  Sullivan  blows  her  whistle  and  the  baseball  teams 
of  each  cla  s  take  the  floor.  They  go  through  their  workout  to  show  their  excellent  con- 
dition. 

Last  Quarter 

Annette  Robinson,  manager  of  tennis,  announces  that  there  will  be  a  double,  match 
immediately.  The  well-played  match  shows  the  skill  of  our  be>t  tennis  players  and 
justifies  the  enthusiasm  of  the  audience. 

Dorothea  Allen  then  announces  that  the  doubles  badminton  match  will  be  played. 
The  result  of  her  competent  instruction  is  shown  in  the  skill  of  her  players. 

The  game  is  over  ;  the  score  is  announced  by  Miss  Young  as  a  completely  successful 
season.  We  hope  to  have  many  more  in  the  future.

The  path  of  true  dramatic  art  does  not  run  smoothly.  One  misplaced  property  and 
an  entire  cast  will  assume  the  frenzied  attitude  of  Greek  tragedy.  That,  at  least,  was 
our  experience  when  we  presented  a  short  one-act  play,  Thank  You,  Doctor,  for  the 
Fathers'  cluh.  A  puzzled  cast  ad-libbed  heroically  while  one  of  the  members  shouted 
hoarsely  from  behind  the  curtain,  "1  can't  find  the  box!"  We  won't  explain  how  the 
show  went  on,  but  go  on  it  did  and,  what  is  more  important  the  Fathers  enjoyed  it. 

In  addition  to  Thank  You,  Doctor  and  several  one-act  plays  presented  on  various 
occasions,  the  1936-37  season  will  be  renowned  in  the  annals  of  the  Dramatic  Society 
as  the  year  in  which  we  were  privileged  to  present  two  major  productions.  The  first 
of  these,  Fred  Ballard's  Ladies  of  the  Jury  evoked  a  great  deal  of  anticipatory  interest 
when  it  was  learned  that  the  scene,  as  suggested  by  the  title,  was  laid  in  a  courtroom. 
The  play  fulfilled  all  expectations.  Celeste  Hughes,  as  Mrs.  Livingston-Baldwin  Crane, 
gave  an  excellent  performance  ;  so  excellent  that  we  wouldn't  want  her  on  our  jury. 
Ladies  of  the  Jury  has  since  been  made  into  a  moving  picture,  but  our  loyal  "public" 


One  hundred  tivrnly-four 


s  a  i  11 1     Joseph's     college 


insists  that  it  could  have  been  improved  by  the  importation  of  some  of  St.  Joseph's  talent. 

Ferenc  Molnar's  The  Swan  was  our  second  attraction.  More  in  the  romantic  tra- 
dition, with  its  background  of  royalty  and  mythical  kingdoms,  this  play  afforded  us 
ample  opportunity  to  prove  the  versatility  about  which  we  boast.  An  equally  important 
opportunity  was  afforded  the  heroine,  Ursula  Reilly,  of  wearing  three  evening  gowns — 
one  for  each  act.  No  wonder  Agi  (Patricia  Muller)  and  Albert  (Marguerite  Mulrenan) 
fought  over  her.  We  feel  that  the  success  of  The  Szcau  justifies  the  faith  of  those 
who  were  confident  of  our  ability  to  produce  two  shows. 

Under  the  direction  of  Madeleine  Noonan,  our  president,  a  serious  effort  was  made, 
during  the  Spring  semester,  at  reorganizing  the  procedure  of  the  weekly  meetings.  The 
society  was  divided  into  groups  each  of  which  took  up  a  different  aspect  of  dramatic  work. 
The  play-reading  group  devoted  its  time  to  the  compilation  of  a  list  of  one-  and  three- 
act  plays  suitable  for  future  presentation  by  the  society.  The  interpretive  reading  group 
concentrated  on  the  oral  interpretation  of  poetry  and  scenes  from  plays.  A  smaller  but 
no  less  interesting  division  took  up  the  work  of  the  theatrical  make-up  which  proved  of 
great  help  in  presenting  the  plays.  The  last  section  of  the  club — The  Scenery  Committee 
— could  be  seen  almost  every  afternoon  in  the  property  room  cheerfully  hammering 
away  at  their  fingers  and  daubing  their  smocks,  and  incidentally  the  scenery,  with  paint. 
This  committee,  one  of  the  hardest  working  ones  within  the  society,  deserves  a  great 
deal  of  the  credit  for  the  success  of  our  productions.  They  were  responsible  both  for 
the  realistic  courtroom  scene  used  in  Ladies  of  the  Jury  and  for  the  decorative  armorial 
shields  used  as  atmosphere  in  The  Swan. 

It  would  be  impossible  even  to  attempt  a  resume  of  the  past  season's  activities  with- 
out acknowledging  our  debt  to  our  coach,  Mr.  Robert  Cass,  and  to  Madeleine  Noonan 
who  so  capably  directed  the  society's  program.  They  have  laid  the  way:  it  is  for  us  to 
follow  through.

Music  waves  eternal  wands — 
Enchantress    of   the    souls    of    mortals. 

This  season's  activities  in  the  Glee  Club  have  brought  us  many  steps  along  the 
pathway  of  culture.  The  aesthetic  aims  of  our  society  have  been  carefully  cherished  and 
carried  forward  by  our  members. 

We  have  ventured  ahead  under  the  very  fine  guidance  of  Professor  Carl  Schlegel. 

The  Glee  Club  began  its  very  successful  year  with  a  program  for  the  Fathers' 
Club.  Selections  by  the  entire  club  and  by  our  trio,  composed  of  Eileen  Maher,  Frances 
Young  and  Frances  Coffey,  were  featured. 

The  second  affair  at  which  the  group  entertained  was  the  annual  bridge  for  the 
benefit  of  Our  Lady  Star  of  the  Sea  parish  of  Saltaire,  Long  Island. 

At  Christinas  time  we  repeated  a  practice  which  was  initiated  last  year.  The  Glee 
Club  members,  dressed  in  surplices,  sang  hymns  as  a  part  of  the  Christmas  Tableau. 
The  choir  sang  many  familiar  Christmas  carols.  This  spirit  was  shared  by  the  other 
students  of  the  college.  Before  leaving  on  Tuesday,  December  twenty-second,  the  entire 

one  hundred  twenty-six 


saint     Joseph's     college 


student  body,  led  by  the  Glee  Club,  serenaded  the  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph  at  the  convent. 

After  our  return  from  the  holiday  recess  we  were  concerned  with  preparing  a 
program  for  a  joint  concert  with  the  Manhattan  College  Glee  Club.  This  was  the  first 
time  that  we  had  ever  collaborated  with  another  college  in  a  presentation.  The  concert, 
held  on  Sunday,  February  seventh,  was  a  fine  social  event.  After  the  concert  a  tea  dance 
was  held  in  the  large  reception  rooms  of  the  college  for  the  members  of  both  Glee  Clubs. 

A  contest  among  the  students  for  an  additional  school  song  was  our  next  undertak- 
ing. Although  not  limited  to  the  club  members,  the  winner  was  one  of  our  very  active 
members,  Eileen  Maher. 

The  most  important  undertaking  of  the  Glee  Club  is  its  annual  concert  which  was 
held  this  year  on  April  eighth.  Our  director,  Mr.  Schlegel,  favored  us  with  a  few 
selections.  There  were  many  fine  numbers  by  the  entire  club.  Our  program  consisted 
also  of  songs  by  our  trio.  The  soloists  for  the  occasion  were  Margaret  Hirsch,  Eileen 
Maher  and  Virginia  Walsh.  Our  very  able  accompanists,  Jean  O'Reilly  and  Gertrude 
Mayer,  contributed  to  the  fine  program  by  their  piano  solos. 

We  go  forward  now  with  even  greater  dreams  of  achievement  in  the  future  and 
hope  that  we  shall  be  able  to  bring  success  to  the  undertakings  of  our  club.

Loria  had  been  criticized  in  the  past  for  being  written  by  the  staff  and  for  having 
too  narrow  an  appeal.  Therefore  we  came  to  the  task  with  the  general  aim  of  making 


one  hundred  t<iurnty-eight 


s  a  i  11  t     j  o  s  e  p  h'  s     college 


Loria  more  representative  of  the  student  body.  This  we  hoped  to  do  by  enlarging  the 
number  of  contributors,  by  varying  the  material  and  by  adding  new  features. 

We  began  our  campaign  by  discussing  the  criticisms  and  possibilities  of  Loria  with 
the  Literary  Group.  Then  we  distributed  questionnaires  to  find  out  what  the  students 
wanted  in  their  magazine.  Evidently  both  these  measures  were  effective :  the  Fall  issue, 
which  boasted  a  three-color  cover  quite  unlike  any  that  had  preceded  it,  contained  mostly 
contributions  from  students  who  were  not  on  the  staff.  The  Christmas  and  Spring 
issues,  which  were  larger  in  volume,  succeeded  even  further  by  presenting  many  new 
contributors.  Now  we  feel  that  we  have  achieved  our  aim  in  part  since  we  have  aroused 
a  decided  interest  in  contributing. 

The  materials  for  Loria  should  be  drawn  from  the  various  departments  and  activi- 
ties, and  from  all  classes.  Originally  the  magazine  was  issued  by  the  literary  society, 
and  in  former  years  it  drew  its  material  mostly  from  the  upper-class  English  majors. 
But  this  year,  determined  to  broaden  its  scope,  we  included  articles  of  interest  from 
religious,  political,  and  musical  points  of  view,  triumphing  in  the  Spring  issue  with  two 
essays  in  French.  The  Freshmen,  who  are  usually  hesitant  about  contributing,  were 
brave  enough  this  year  to  make  their  debut  in  our  first  issue.  A  contest  conducted  especially 
for  them  helped  us  to  draw  them  out. 

The  Alumnae  have  always  been  an  integral  part  of  Saint  Joseph's  and  therefore 
should  be  included  in  any  project  which  attempts  to  be  representative  of  the  college. 
For  this  reason  we  extended  an  invitation  to  the  Alumnae  to  contribute  one  article 
for  each  issue.  They  apparently  were  in  favor  of  the  suggestion,  for  they  responded 
readily.  Their  contributions  were  varied  :  a  reminiscence  of  Saint  Joseph's  ten  years  ago, 
an  account  of  travel  and  of  study,  and  a  suggestion  for  our  attitudes  in  the  future. 

It  was  suggested  that  Loria  include  those  features  of  a  newspaper  that  might  be 
appropriate  for  a  magazine  also.  In  accordance  with  this  we  devoted  space  in  each  issue 
for  editorials  on  topics  of  general  and  school  interest.  We  also  introduced  interviews  with 
well-known  people,  a  feature  which  proved  quite  popular. 

In  order  that  we  might  not  neglect  the  tradition  of  Loria  of  fostering  an  apprecia- 
tion of  good  literature,  we  published  a  series  of  articles  on  Catholic  authors  who 
should  be  better  known  by  the  student  body.  These  essays  took  the  form  of  appreciations 
rather  than  criticisms. 

Heretofore  the  importance  of  art  work  in  Loria  had  not  been  recognized.  But  we 
believed  that  it  should  have  more  significance.  With  the  co-operation  of  the  Art  Club, 
we  managed  to  cut  down  the  expenses  of  printing  art  work  by  using  linoleum  cuts.  Thus 
we  were  enabled  to  increase  the  amount  of  art  work.  The  cuts  proved  effective  for  the 
covers  as  well  as  for  the  illustrations. 

As  we  look  back  over  the  results  of  our  work  we  realize  that  we  have  not  succeeded 
in  revolutionizing  the  magazine  nor  in  raising  it  to  its  rightful  importance  as  the  official 
magazine  of  Saint  Joseph's  College.  But  we  have  eliminated  some  of  its  failings  and 
we  have  given  to  it  the  suggestions  of  "new  worlds  to  conquer."

CONCETTA    GlAMPIETRO 


The  Cercle  Moliere  was  formed  primarily  to  give  a  better  and  more  intelligent 
understanding  of  the  cultural  background  of  France  to  advanced  students  of  French, 
and  also  to  foster  a  more  earnest  and  fervent  feeling  for  these  backgrounds  in  those 
not  familiar  with  the  language. 

All  meetings  are  conducted  in  French.  The  club  tries  to  arrange  programs  which 
will  meet  with  everyone's  approval  and  appreciation. 

The  outstanding  event  of  the  year  was  the  presentation  of  our  dramatic  production 
Les  Femm.es  Fortes  on  the  night  of  the  twentieth  of  November.  We  are  most  certain 
that  if  our  play  was  a  success  it  may  be  ascribed  to  its  most  competent  directors,  Mr. 
Aucoin  and  Mile.  Michaud,  whose  tireless  efforts  and  patience  brought  success  to  the 
comedy  of  Sardou.  This  presentation  was  recognized  by  the  Courrier  Des  Etats-Unis, 
the  best  current  journal  of  the  French-reading  public  in  the  United  States,  and  the  New 
York  Times,  in  which  we  received  noteworthy  comments. 

With  the  month  of  December  nearing,  the  members  of  the  French  Club  proceeded 
to  make  arrangements  for  their  Christmas  party.  The  spirit  of  Christmas  prevailed  and 


one  hundred  thirty 


s  a  i  n  t     j  o  s  e  p  h  '  s     college 


everyone  had  a  merry  time.  The  program  included  a  dinner,  French  talks  on  the  Noel, 
games  and  the  singing  of  Christmas  carols  in  French. 

The  club  has  tried  to  promote  an  interest  in  the  French  productions  given  by  other 
colleges.  In  keeping  with  this  idea  the  members  attended  the  production  of  Le  Cid  at 
Hunter  College. 

The  spring  semester  began  with  a  musicale  of  French  classical  and  operatic  com- 
posers such  as  Bizet,  Gounod,  Saint-Saens  and  Massenet.  To  promote  this  appreciation 
for  music  the  girls  gave  short  talks  en  the  works  and  lives  of  the  composers. 

Later  in  the  semester  we  were  fortunate  enough  to  hear  a  lecture  given  in  French 
by  Agnes  Dooley,  president  of  the  club  during  1934-35-  Her  very  interesting  talk 
consisted  of  her  experiences  in  the  French  University  at  Grenoble.  She  also  enlightened 
us  on  the  customs  of  the  French  people  of  today. 

Accompanied  by  the  head  of  the  French  Department,  Mile.  Michaud,  a  group  at- 
tended the  French  theater  in  New  York  City  where  they  saw  a  modern  play  entitled 
Christian  by  Yvan  Noe. 

On  our  return  to  the  college  after  Eastertime,  our  own  Father  William  Ryan 
gave  us  a  lecture  in  French  on  "The  Trends  of  Culture  in  Modern  France  Today," 
which  was  more  than  appreciated  by  the  students.  Mile.  Michaud  also  gave  us  a  lecture 
on  Paris,  accompanied  by  lantern  slides. 

Something  new  and  different!  The  members  of  the  French  Club  have  been  asked 
to  contribute  articles  written  in  French  to  Loria.  Two  of  our  members,  Mary  Marshall 
and  Connie  Giampietro,  submitted  articles. 

The  Cercle  Moliere  has  completed  a  very  successful  year  under  the  excellent 
guidance  of  Mile.  Michaud  and  its  president,  Janet  Morris. 

The  Seniors  have  been  invited  to  a  farewell  reception  which  can  in  no  way 
compensate  for  the  work  they  did  during  the  year.  Only  with  their  support  and  co- 
operation was  the  French  Club  able  to  carry  on  its  activities  to  such  magnitude.  How- 
ever, this  is  not  really  a  farewell  since  they,  in  turn,  will  join  the  Alumnae  French 
Club,  formed  at  the  beginning  of  the  year.  In  this  way  we  shall  be  able  to  keep  in  close 
contact  with  one  another.

Serenaders 

Conductor  Eileen  M.  Maher 

Secretary-Treasurer  BEATRICE   HuNKELE 

The  Serenaders  is  an  old,  and  yet  a  new,  organization.  This  club  of  the  college 
began  many  years  ago,  but  was  discontinued  in  1935.  However,  during  this  past  year 
the  group  has  been  reorganized.  As  yet  it  is  a  young  organization,  but  hopes  to  advance 
and  become  an  important  part  of  the  college. 

The  members  of  the  Serenaders  believe  that  an  appreciation  of  instrumental  music, 
whether  one  is  a  performer  or  a  listener,  is  especially  valuable  to  college  graduates. 

The  Serenaders  will  become  an  active  part  of  the  Undergraduate  Association  and 
will  entertain  occasionally  at  General  Assembly.  We  shall  also  furnish  the  music  for 
other  college  functions  throughout  the  year.  At  the  culmination  of  the  year's  activities 
the  Serenaders  will  direct  their  efforts  toward  the  musical  portion  of  the  Commencement 
Exercises.

Art  Club 

President  EVELYN    McCaUSLAND 

Secretary-Treasurer  Marie  Gough 

Since  art  is  nature  working  through  man,  man  must  develop  such  aesthetic  senses 
as  will  enhance  that  nature. 

1  he  Art  Club  desires  to  give  each  person  a  liner  feeling  and  understanding  for  the 
beauty  in  all  forms  of  nature  that  one  may  meet  in  everyday  life.  The  members  of  this 
still  growing  club  first  learned  design  under  the  able  direction  of  Mr.  Aucoin.  They 
then  learned  the  use  of  charcoal  in  portraits.  There  are  many  pictures  from  this  group 
to  be  put  in  the  exhibit  at  the  end  of  May. 

At  Christmas  time,  the  Art  Club  members  designed  and  cut  their  own  linoleum 
blocks.  They  stamped  their  own  Christmas  cards  with  these  cuts.  Linoleum  allover 
patterns  were  printed  on  various  colored  doilies. 

Each  member  tries  to  delve  into  some  new  field  of  art.  The  experiments  are  then 
exhibited  and  criticized  by  the  whole  group.  Some  of  these  outside  fields  are:  sculpturing, 
leather  tooling,  wood-pyrography,  pencil  and  ink  sketching,  water  colors,  and  oil  paint- 
ing. The  club  hopes  to  go  deeper  into  these  fields  as  it  progresses.  So  that  we  may  also 
see  the  works  of  great  artists  in  each  of  these  fields,  the  Art  Club  has  attended  many  art 
exhibits.  These  exhibits  should  not  only  interest  the  person  interested  in  art  hut  also 
the  person  wishing  to  gain  some  appreciation  of  art. 

In  order  to  be  of  assistance  to  the  college,  the  Art  Club  has  made  posters  for  the 
social  affairs  as  well  as  for  other  clubs  in  the  college. 

As  its  program  of  progressive  activity  materializes,  the  Art  Club  hopes  the  cultural 
background  of  its  members  will  increase.

Bridge  Club 


President  Helen  Deegan 

Secretary  Margaret  Scannell 

The  Bridge  Club  has  been  in  existence  since  February  '35.  It  has  since  grown  to  be 
one  of  the  most  popular  college  clubs.  Having  started  with  a  membership  of  about 
twenty,  today  we  have  about  seventy  listed  as  active  members. 

The  atmosphere  of  the  Bridge  Club  meetings  is  designedly  informal,  for  our 
purpose  is  to  bring  about  a  wider  acquaintanceship  among  the  members  of  the  various 
classes.  Meetings  in  the  "Old  Aud"  are  characterized  by  animated  discussions  as  to 
the  respective  merits  of  the  Culbertson  and  Jacoby  systems  of  bidding  and  hands. 

During  the  fall  semester  of  1936,  it  was  agreed  among  the  older  members  and  the 
officers  that  the  club  should  present  some  new  and  definite  program  for  the  members. 
After  many  attempts  at  having  students  serve  as  teachers  of  both  contract  and  auction, 
it  was  decided  that  a  more  beneficial  program  would  be  secured  if  an  authority  in  the 
field  conducted  a  series  of  lectures  for  the  members  of  the  club.  It  was  with  this  in  mind 
that  the  officers  obtained  estimates  from  such  persons  as  Mr.  Barclay  and  Mr.  Curtin. 

Because  plans  were  not  made  until  February,  it  was  too  late  for  our  group  to  profit 
by  any  changes.  These  ideas  which  we  have  been  unable  to  carry  out  we  leave  to  those 
who  still  remain.  We  pass  the  potential  lectures  to  next  year's  group.  May  they  complete 
what  we  have  begun  and  share  in  the  good  times  we  have  had  and  will  always  re- 
member.

History  Club

Secretary  ELEANOR   Van   WAGNER 

Pax  Christi  in   Regno   Christ! 

The  program  of  the  History  Club  has  been  varied  and  diverse.  The  interest  of  the 
members  was  absorbed  by  the  various  activities  offered  to  the  group  this  year.  Among  the 
more  important  interests  participated  in  were  the  symposiums  held  on  the  current 
events,  especially  the  discussions  on  "Present  Day  Spain,"  "The  Supreme  Court"  and 
"The  Methods  of  War  in  Modern  Times."  The  members  took  part  in  debates  and  sent 
speakers  to  outside  clubs  and  schools  to  spread  the  Catholic  principles  of  world  peace 
and,  above  all,  to  have  an  active  interested  group  spreading  this  vital  form  of  Catholic- 
action — Peace. 

Pax  Christi  in  Regno  Christi  is  the  motto  of  the  Peace  Federation  formed  by  the 
Catholic  colleges  and  Newman  Clubs  of  the  Middle  Atlantic  States.  Saint  Joseph's, 
represented  by  the  History  Club,  has  done  its  share  in  making  this  an  energetic,  lively 
and  effective  organization. 

Early  in  November  the  various  colleges  sent  delegates  to  Saint  Elizabeth's  College 
in  New  Jersey.  Here  plans  were  discussed  for  the  work  to  be  done  during  the  ensuing 
year.  Each  college  was  to  carry  on  a  Peace  Program  of  its  own,  the  procedure  of  which 
had  been  planned  at  this  meeting.  It  was  then  decided  that  the  second  meeting  of  the 
Peace  Federation  was  to  be  held  at  Saint  Joseph's  on  February  thirteenth. 

In  the  interim  the  History  Club  members  did  their  utmost  to  make  their  fellow 
students  "Peace  Conscious"  by  displaying  posters  and  having  preliminary  peace  meetings 
to  which  the  undergraduates  were  all  invited. 

Our  all-day  conference  started  with  the  spiritual  exercises.  Father  Dillon  celebrated 
Holy  Mass.  There  at  the  feet  of  The  Prince  of  Peace,  we  sought  the  guidance  and  coun- 
sel which  would  he  needed  to  make  our  symposium  effective,  far-reaching,  and  worth- 
while. 

A  round-table  discussion  followed.  Miss  Margaret  Wilson,  of  the  College  of  New 
Rochelle,  acted  as  chairman.  The  general  topic  under  discussion  was  "The  Catholic 
Student  and  Peace."  Mr.  John  English,  of  Georgetown  University,  offered,  with  the 
well-known  suave  "Georgetown"  manner,  his  shrewd  observation  of  the  indifferent  at- 
titude toward  peace  of  the  average  Catholic  student  in  Catholic  colleges.  Mr.  William 
Flynn,  of  Polytechnic  Institute,  gave  us  the  reactions  of  a  Catholic  student  in  a  non- 
sectarian  college. 

These  discourses  were  followed  by  more  on  the  general  topic  of  "Peace  and  the 
Press."  After  a  delightful  luncheon  all  the  delegates  and  many  outside  visitors  repaired 
to  the  auditorium  to  hear  Dr.  Elizabeth  Lynskey,  of  Hunter  College,  and  Dr.  Charles 
Fenwick,  of  Bryn  Mawr  College.  The  speakers,  by  their  grasp  of  their  subjects,  presen- 
tations and  enthusiasm,  inspired  all  their  listeners  with  a  firm  resolution  to  do  their 
utmost  to  carry  on  the  campaign  for  world  peace.  Each  delegate  in  his  or  her  heart  vowed 
to  go  forward  under  the  banner  of  peace  until  the  whole  world  would  be  enrolled  in 
the  Peace  of  Christ  and  thereby  bring  about  the  Kingdom  of  Christ. 

The  History  Club  also  has  a  social  side  which  has  not  been  totally  neglected,  even 
though  our  time  has  been  taken  up  with  peace.  Those  who  attended  the  performance  of 
Richard  II  could  not  have  failed  to  have  been  thrilled  at  Maurice  Evans'  portrayal  of 
the  famous  English  king.

lice-President  MARGARET   KEENAN 

Secretary-Treasurer  Marion    MAGEE 

Although  the  Social  Service  Cluh  is  still  in  its  youth  it  is  largely  responsible  for 
encouraging  among  the  students  a  spirit  of  love  of  the  poor  and  the  desire  to  help  these 
unfortunate  members  of  society.  This  is  its  primary  aim.  We  feel,  too,  that  it  has  another 
aim:  namely,  to  provide  the  members  with  the  opportunity  of  ascertaining  whether  or 
not  they  would  be  interested  in  working  in  this  field  after  graduation.  It  is  a  field  that 
provides  great  opportunity  for  young  Catholic  women. 

When  the  spring  term  ended  our  work  did  not  cease,  but  was  carried  on  through 
the  summer  months  by  many  members  of  the  club  who  worked  as  supervisors  in  the 
Catholic  playgrounds  and  investigators  for  sending  children  to  summer  camps. 

With  the  opening  of  the  fall  semester,  the  members  resumed  their  work  at  St. 
Mary's  Hospital,  interviewing  patients  and  taking  case  histories  and  filing.  A  number 
of  girls  have  made  themselves  invaluable  in  the  children's  ward  by  their  ceaseless  efforts 
to  keep  these  little  sufferers  amused  and  happy.  Other  workers  have  resumed  the  teach- 
ing of  Catechism  in  parishes  where  there  are  no  Catholic  schools. 

Some  of  the  other  members  have  worked  at  Catholic  Charities,  writing  up  case 
histories,  doing  follow-up  work  on  court  cases  and  directing  recreational  centers.  Other 
girls  have  devoted  their  energies  to  Dr.  White's  Memorial  Settlement,  helping  in  the 
kindergarten  and  teaching  Catechism.  The  rest  of  the  members  worked  in  the  Tuesday 
or  Thursday  group,  which  met  in  school,  and  devoted  their  time  to  making  scrapbnoks, 
rosary  beads  and  babies'  clothes. 

At  Christmas  the  Social  Service  Club  united  with  the  Undergraduate  Association 
in  playing  Santa  Claus  to  sixteen  needy  families,  by  distributing  to  them  food,  clothing, 
toys  and  Christmas  trees.  We  conducted  our  annual  exhibition  before  Christina,  and 
displayed  a  variety  of  daintily  dressed  dolls,  exciting  scrapbooks,  colorful  toys  and 
blue,  white  and  pink  layettes,  all  of  which  were  distributed. 

This  year  we  have  attempted  to  extend  our  work  beyond  the  hospital,  sewing  and 
playground  work  by  collecting  stamps,  tinfoil,  books  and  magazines,  and  sending  them 
to  the  Jesuit  missions.  We  have  also  been  able  to  help  St.  Rose's  Free  Home. 

In  devoting  time  and  energy  to  this  club  we  can  reap  our  reward  from  the  fact 
that  we  have  contributed  some  small  service  to  society.  Our  organization  is  still  in  its 
youth  but,  with  the  passing  of  time,  should  reach  maturity  and  a  greater  realization  of 
the  spirit  of  self-sacrifice  necessary  for  this  type  of  work.  We  wish  to  take  this  oppor- 
tunity of  acknowledging  the  splendid  work  and  loyalty  of  so  many  students  who  par- 
ticipated in  this  club.

Public  Speaking  Club 

President  Rita  Staiger 

Secretary  Mary  Cizmowski 

The  habe  born  in  1934  grew  lustily,  and  is  now  a  thriving  child  of  three.  It  has  be- 
come noisy  in  a  useful  sort  of  way,  contrary  to  the  development  of  most  children. 

The  club  desires  to  present  Catholic  culture  as  it  truly  is — a  vital  force  in  the  lives  of 
all  its  adherents.  Speakers  are  sent  by  the  club  to  address  communion  breakfasts,  Newman 
Clubs,  and  sodalities.  They  have  dealt  with  such  purely  religious  topics  as  indulgences,  fast 
days  and  saints'  lives.  In  the  broader  field  of  Catholicity  and  life,  they  have  discussed  such 
subjective  and  essential  problems  as  "What  Religion  Means  to  Me,"  and  such  equally 
practical  problems  as  "The  Catholic  Church  and  Literature." 

The  speeches  are  short — about  ten  minutes  in  length.  Judging  from  the  repeated  re- 
quests the  club  has  received  to  send  speakers  back  again,  the  ten-minute  intervals  have 
been  successful.  They  have  reversed  the  belief  that  "speeches  cannot  be  made  long  enough 
for  the  speakers,  nor  short  enough  for  the  hearers." 

At  the  meetings,  which  take  place  once  every  two  weeks,  a  new  plan  has  been  adopted. 
The  members  discuss  possible  topics,  decide  whether  they  are  well  chosen,  and  exchange  ideas. 

Class  meetings  have  a  way  of  clashing  with  Public  Speaking  meetings,  but  this 
difficulty  will  be  adjusted  so  that  the  child  won't  suffer  stunted  growth  because  of  a  lack 


of  vitamins.

Debating  Society 

President  ABIGAIL  Do-RNEY 

Secretary  ROSE  FRANCES  MlLLER 

"The  debater  has  a  good  mind.  He  has  skill  in  the  use  of  language.  He  has  some  degree 
of  poise  and  confidence.  He  is  presumably  interested  in  the  great  questions  of  the  day,  the 
problems  of  his  people,  and  he  is  able  to  discuss  them  with  intelligence."  These  are  the 
qualities,  as  expressed  by  Professor  Howes,  which  we  desire  to  cultivate  in  ourselves  as 
members  of  the  Debating  Society.  Our  enthusiasm  was  so  great  last  fall  that  at  our  first 
meeting  we  amended  our  constitution  in  such  a  way  that  the  interval  between  adjournments 
was  shortened.  We  were  resolved  to  foster  a  program  of  intramural  debating.  Symposiums 
and  open-forum  debates  upon  current  questions  were  held  at  our  meetings. 

One  of  our  first  manifestations  of  activity  was  a  debate  presented  at  General  Assembly, 
the  Friday  before  Election  Day.  Resolved:  That  there  should  be  a  change  in  the  administra- 
tion of  the  United  States  Government.  Mary  Cizmowski  and  Katherine  Braithwaitc  upheld 
the  affirmative,  while  Ann  Kenny  and  Jane  Walsh  defended  the  negative.  It  was  not  long 
before  we  again  appeared  before  the  public  eye  after  a  period  of  being  apparently,  but  not 
really,  dormant.  At  General  Assembly  several  speeches  were  delivered  on  current  topics  and 
their  ability  to  lend  themselves  to  debating. 

We  were  pleasantly  surprised  this  year  with  several  invitations:  one  to  attend  the 
convention  of  the  New  York  State  Debate  Conference  in  Syracuse  in  April,  and  several  from 
other  colleges.  This  year  we  were  unable  to  accept  the  invitations  of  the  other  colleges. 
However,  we  look  forward  to  partaking  in  intercollegiate  debating  next  year.

Fencing  Club 

President  Janet  Lewis 

Secretary  FRANCES    McLoUGHLIN 

"St.  Joseph's  Wins  on  Strips" — This  newspaper  clipping  startled  the  undergraduate 
hody  into  the  realization  that  the  Fencing  Club,  regarded  hy  many  as  a  joke,  was  really  a 
serious  endeavor,  capable  of  bringing  fresh  laurels  to  the  college. 

Introduced  at  the  beginning  of  the  fall  term  by  Janet  Lewis,  the  club  attracted  a  small 
but  zealous  following.  Through  the  kind  interest  of  Father  Dillon,  Miss  Rachel  Smith,  from 
the  Vince  School  of  Fencing,  became  instructor.  Under  her  able  tutelage,  the  neophytes 
were  initiated  into  the  mysteries  of  the  "gentlewomen's  sport."  To  give  the  proper  aura  of 
permanence  and  organization  to  the  group,  the  fencers  elected  Janet  Lewis  president  of 
the  Saint  Joseph's  College  Fencing  Club.  Four  months'  earnest  practice  were  rewarded 
with  victory  when  the  club  won  its  first  match,  from  Hofstra  College,  on  January  thirtieth. 

This  match  drew  interest,  but  also  bewilderment,  from  the  rest  of  the  college.  There- 
fore the  fencers  conducted  a  demonstration  in  General  Assembly  for  the  education  of 
undergraduates  in  intelligent  appreciation  of  fencing  matches. 

To  undertake  the  formalities  of  challenging  other  fencing  groups  and  essaying  an 
entry  into  the  Women's  Intercollegiate  Fencing  Tournament,  Frances  McLoughlin  was 
made  secretary  of  the  club.  The  fencers'  second  match,  against  the  Queens  Fencers,  on 
March  eighteenth,  was  an  ably  contested  defeat  for  our  younger  club. 

The  club  points  with  pride  to  its  first  year's  record,  and  seeks  admission  to  the 
Athletic  Association  as  a  recognized  extra-curricular  activity.  Enthusiasm  undimmed,  it 
is  planning  eagerly  for  new  conquests  next  year.  Frances  McLoughlin  '38 


The  Cultural  Committee 

Chairman  UoRIS  Devlin 

Secretary  Janet  Morris 

This  committee  was  formed  not  only  for  the  purpose  of  advancing  and  guiding  those 
who  had  already  begun  their  cultural  education,  hut  more  especially  to  start  and  encourage 
those  who  had  not  yet  traveled  on  that  long,  but  very  pleasant  road. 

The  committee  strikes  enthusiastically  about,  now  here,  now  there,  trying  to  find  its 
level  and  to  begin  to  comprehend,  even  in  some  small  part,  the  meaning  and  import  of  the 
great  accomplishments  in  art,  literature  and  music. 

This  year  we  have  tried  to  spread  our  program  so  that  it  would  cover  each  of  these 
fields,  if  only  in  some  small  degree.  One  of  the  most  important  events  was  a  visit  to  the 
Brooklyn  Museum  to  view  an  exhibition  on  five  centuries  of  German  art.  We  have  learned 
from  this  and  other  similar  excursions  that  to  be  a  great  painter  and  artist  is  one  of  the 
grandest  things  in  the  world.  Today  we  can  look  upon  these,  the  pictures  of  the  past  world 
that  have  been  painted  by  the  men  who  lived  in  it,  as  if  the  artist  were  alive,  lending  us  his 
eyes,  through  which  we  might  see  the  beauty  and  the  ugliness,  the  comedy  and  the  tragedy 
of  the  life  which  he  saw. 

In  March  we  presented  Miss  Flanigan  to  the  General  Assembly.  Her  fine  and  interest- 
ing views  on  modern  writers  and  their  sources  were  greatly  appreciated. 

During  the  season  of  Metropolitan  Opera,  here  in  New  York  City,  the  members 
attended  a  performance  of  the  French  opera  Faust  by  the  famous  composer,  Gounod.  We 
were  all  thrilled  by  the  stirring  music  and  by  the  tine  drama  of  the  action.  These  are  the 
things  which  we  feel  have  helped  us  to  find,  in  some  part,  the  beginnings  of  a  proper 
cultural  background.  Janet  Morris  '37

Mercier  Circle 

President        Marguerite  Mulrenan  Secretary  Kathleen  Holland 

Mercier  Circle,  the  philosophical  honor  society,  this  year  welcomed  thirteen  new  under- 
graduate memhers.  With  this  substantial  increase,  the  first  meeting  of  the  year  took  place 
in  October. 

The  Rev.  Francis  X.  Fitzgibbon  assuaged  the  anxiety  of  the  tenderfoot  members,  to 
their  evident  relief,  by  informing  them  that  they  would  not  be  expected  to  rise  and  declaim 
on  the  relative  merits  of  Kant  or  Plato.  Rather  would  they  hope  to  formulate  and  develop 
a  personal  philosophy  and  a  habit  of  practical  reasoning  on  everyday  living  and  its  problems. 
Thus  Mercier.  given  this  extensive  application,  has  been  the  center  of  heated  and  almost 
violent  discussions  on  such  antipodal  topics  as  the  atomic  theory  and  modern  Utopias. 

As  was  to  be  expected,  the  new  members  were  vaguely  haunted  by  the  momentous  word 
"philosopher,"  until  a  process  of  relaxation,  occasioned  by  the  delectable  anecdotes  of  our 
director,  Father  Fitzgibbon,  overcame  their  distressing  habit  of  either  cold  silence  or  polite 
agreement.  Thus  timid  questions  gave  way  to  heated  controversies.  This  led  to  a  positive 
inability  to  conclude  meetings  at  a  reasonable  hour,  as  well  as  to  avoid  further  argument. 

But  the  latter  fact  is  encouraging.  Judging  by  the  many  repercussions  continuing  outside 
the  meetings,  Mercier  has  evidently  been  successful  in  its  avowed  purpose:  to  provide  us 
with  the  kernel  of  ideas,  of  formation  of  opinions,  and  of  carrying  these  truths  beyond 
the  boundaries  of  Mercier  Circle.

FOG 

The  fog  makes  my  world  small ; 
The  things  that  yesterday  were  plain 
I  cannot  see  at  all. 

It  matters  not  how  fast  I  go; 
She  follows  close  and  draws 
Her  filmy  veil  around  me;  so 

1  wonder  if  it  would  be  fair, 

(Because   I   cannot  see) 

To  say  my  world's  not  there.

Athletic  Association  Cup 

Each  year  the  Athletic  Association  completes  its  season  at  Field  Day,  when  the 
four  classes  compete  for  the  Silver  Cup.  Anyone  may  try  out  for  the  events,  whether 
she  is  a  member  of  A.  A.  or  not.  Last  year  the  present  graduating  class  won  the  cup 
for  the  third  successive  year.  Tradition  rewards  such  thrice-successful  competitors  by 
the  engraving  of  the  class  year  on  the  cup.  Practically  everyone  in  the  class  was  instru- 
mental in  the  final  victory  by  participation  in  some  event  or  events,  so  that  individually 
and  collectively  the  Class  of  '37  may  be  particularly  proud  of  this  conquest.  It  is  the 
first  time  in  the  history  of  the  college  that  any  class  has  been  able  to  accomplish  this  feat. 

Establishing  precedent  on  precedent,  the  class  proceeded,  on  May  the  first  of  this 
year,  to  capture  the  cup  for  the  fourth  successive  year,  thus  graduating  with  a  record 
which  no  class  has  even  approached  in  the  past,  and  which  should  serve  as  a  challenge 
to  succeeding  classes.

A  boat,  beneath  a  sunny  sky 
Lingering  onward  dreamily 
In  an  evening  of  July — 

Children  three  that  nestle  near, 
Eager  eye  and  willing  ear, 
Pleased  a  simple  tale  to  hear — 

Long  has  paled  that  sunny  sky  : 
Echoes  fade  and  memories  die: 
Autumn  frosts  have  slain  July. 

Still  she  haunts  me,  phantomwise, 
Alice  moving  under  skies 
Never  seen  by  waking  eyes. 

Children  yet,  the  tale  to  hear, 
Eager  eye  and  willing  ear, 
Lovingly  shall  nestle  near. 

In  a  Wonderland  they  lie 
Dreaming  as  the  days  go  by, 
Dreaming  as  the  summers  die: 

Ever  drifting  down  the  stream — 
Lingering  in  the  golden  gleam — 
Life,  what  is  it  but  a  dream?
