P /I re-uosom' d as that watery {flass
.lud Il eallen reflected in Iter face.
- William Cowper
So aptly named, Anna colors all her relations with the patent graciousness that
her name connotes in H ebrew etymology. A combination of firm determination and
reasonablenes , her activity i well-advised, well-ordered, and well-arranged; her
disposition the essence of loyalty and inherent worth. Modestly and yet indelibly,.
Anna has impressed on tbe history of our class the force of her personality. H er
universal popularity won her unanim ous election as Class Treasurer and ber conscientious
fulfillm ent of that office bas' more than justified our confidence. Quietly
intent upon her own designs, sbe goe her unobtrusive way, far f1"0111 the madding
crowd's ignoble st1'ife, making her own happiness and helping to make ours. Dutiful
and labori ous, Anna finds joy in broadening her ken, and is in piring in her gentle
simplicity. She often indulges in a choice bit of ubtlety, and her serene humor is
always alert. N umbering countless friends among us, Anna has given unstintingly
of her cOl"diality, of her easy fri endliness, and of her incomparable kindness. Highly
esteemed by both teachers and fell ow students, she leave behind her at Emmanuel
a I"Oseate trail of good deeds.

Lynn
S ite is friendship itself.
- Alfred de Musset
A study in algebraic symmetry, Isabel's footprints in the sands of Emmanuel
have beaten her a deeply grooved path t o the hearts of all of us. A simultaneou
equation of ardent clear-eye::! idealIsm t aking root in the bed rock of principle, and of
a sturdy practicality, Isabel's is a uncomplicated a nature, as readily computed, as
uncompromisingly logical, and as relentle sly accurate as the problems which she
loves to solve. A disarming frankness, an invincible sense of humor, unfailing
dependability, and above all, loyalty to all that she stands for, these are the keys t o
the only possible solution of Isabel. Her interpretive keenness and progressive views
while in executive capacity, won her election by unanimous assent as Chairman of
our .Junior Week, one of the highest and most responsible of collegiate honors. By
the sincerity which motivat es both her scholastic and her social activity, Isabel has
succeeded in squaring a wide circle of friends, who will remember her chiefly for the
exquisite proportion in her scheme of things and for the mathematical directnes of
her good judgment. Isabel's philosophy of life is a succinct and a wholesome one,
and although it would never occur to her to express it in exalted t erms, it is therefore
perhaps the more poetically translated into a consistent program of congeniality,
thoughtfulness, and good fellowship.

'VI IFRED MARIE B URDICK
Chestnut Hill
She is all softness and sweetness, peace, love, wit and delight.
- Daniel Defoe
Distinctively individual in bearing, retaining in her manner a precious bit of
that old world gentility which has so beautifully colored much of our best st ory-lore,
Winifred has a definite appeal for each one of us individually. Blonde, slender,
dainty, soft-spoken, she is such a refreshing contrast t o our oftentime offensive
modernity. For extremely up-to-date in every other way, Winifred has never learned
the ugly slang of the day; she has never affected a pseudo-sophistication ; she has
never attemp.ted a sarcastic or a sharp-edged quip- and we know he never will.
Incurably romantic, Winifred has a set of ideals which would do credit to the
chivalry of any Arthurian knight; naively sweet she has a certain captivating,
unconscious charm that has won us all . Artlessly, eagedy, vitally, he goes her
pleasing way, effervescing with the very joy of living. Trusting, loyal, and generou ,
hel' intimates must enjoy t o a most satisfying degree the devotion which in all thing.
both great and small Winifred has lavished on us. A decided flare for the artistic,
evinced by the perfection of her mastery of the piano, dancing, painting, and both
poetry and prose writing, has given Winifred an undisputed place in '35's sun. Tn-
, veterately good-humored, most catholic in her friendship , and'finished in her work,
Winifred ha blazed a trail of delicacy whose fragility will live in our memories.

ELI ' OR MARGARET B YRNE
Marlboro
S he is a maid of ar-tlel:ls grace
Gentle in form and fair offace.
- Gonzalo de Berceo
Elinor seems t o make a business of being pleasant. H er chronic affability is as
much of a habit with her as is the quiet reserve which colors all her relations. Although
she evidently prefers retirement to leadership, the pointed uggestions which
she has ventured from time t o time in a crisis, evince the keennes of the interest
which she takes in all our collegiate affair, as well as the aCClll"acy of her judgment.
Mo hmmovably stable in all she does, Elinor is a very comfortable person. She will
not startle you with the unexpected, nor will she jar you with a sudden lurch. H ers
is the art of being always the same, preserving intact the wh ile a certain exciting
individuality; bel'S the gift of intriguing by ber very simplicity of attitude; her the
convincing a urance of realizing even the most extravagant of ou r expectation . . A
sane tranquil optimism direct the COlll"se of her viewpoint, heartens all those who
come her way. and makes her a most soothing and paradoxically a mo t stimulating
compani on. H er very insouciance puts discontent to hame and thence to l"Out. She
has enacted the role of an effective antidote to much of our fretting, and we respect
from experience the solid common sense of' her outlook. We hall think of her always
as our apostle of eq uanimity.

MARY AGNES CASTELLI
Lexington
l-J e1 godly zeal to leaming with her great skill hath been so manifestly
approved that I cannot tell whethm' she deserveth more honor for her Icnowledge,
01' admiration f or her courtesy.
- Montaigne
Unobtwsively and yet most indelibly Mal'Y ha. wl'itten hel' saga in the shOl,t
histol'Y of our class. Brisk, cheery, and alert, her tl'im little fi gure is never seen relaxing.
Busily intent whethC!r on some fleeting dream-child, 0 1' on the wonders of literature,
the intl'icacies of hist ory, or the restful theories of philo ophy, Mary is always
to be found at the tedious yet fecund work of broadening her views, her knowledge,
and her intellect. Anything but coldly erudite, however, she has tempered hel' truly
I'emarkable scho\arliness with the modesty chamcteristic of all those who would be
ge nuinely learned. Hel' journey thl'ough the realm s of science would seem to be one
grand lal'k, so enthusiastic, so d et ermined, so happy is he in even some of the most
hal'assing of pursuits. Most innocent of guile, most simple and reserved of manner,
most appreciative of merit in anyone, and most generous of instinct, Mary's quiet,
decided retirement from the spotlight has not dimmed our realization of hel' stel'ling
worth. Frank, independent, and fearless, she ha dared to be herself with a vim that
has comma nded our admimtion. Enviable is her powel' of clear, concise thinking,
her excellent taste and her perfect discretion. Mary has a definite place indeed
among us, which no other could fill.

L et me hecL?' he?" lavghter, let me see her smile.
- Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Gifted with the keen perception of a born logician, Genevieve's is as neatly
atisfactory a plan as you could wish for. Always on the go, her varied activities
never conflict, overlap, or interfere with each other. Ambitious for the day that wi ll
give her the opportunity t o conquer all resisting difficulties with the weapons now in
process of forging ; eager to ta te to the full the wholesome joy of living; re tively
anxious to be independent, to be self-reliant in the real ense of the word, Genevieve's
dynamic force will drive her far. Inclining t o the practical rather than t o the
desirable, Genevieve ha a sturdy reliability, a remarkable common ense which is
the guiding factor in her deci ions. A most jovial , stimulating, and active companion,
she combines a staunch loyalty with an undemonstrative expression of it, a
fi erce integrity with a quiet living of it, and a ce,·tain inpenetrable reserve with an
all-embracing amicability. Most indispensable t o those who are privileged with her
const ant companionship, Genevieve is as tl"Ue, as irresistibly open as the naturalnes
of her entire attitude is intriguing with a special quality all its own. Cheerfully optimistic,
always fri endly and glad of a laugh, Genevieve's steady affability will be
mis ed from the halls of Emmanuel a we shall miss her off-hand imple charm .

MAR Y ANGELA D E G UGLIELMO
Cambridge
One of natme's noblest, kindest, gentlest women.
- Guid o Guinizelli
Intent upon her destined COUTse, Mary surveys life with a steadiness and confronts
it with a determination that bespeaks a maturity of vision and viewpoint
which her age denies. F or M ary enj oys the advantage of earning the sheepskin at
nineteen, and the distinction of being our class baby. Now demure and now spirited
to the point of intensity, now sweetly compliant and now self-assertive with a
fieriness that belies a courageous nobility of conviction, Mary rouses you, MaI'y
soothes you, Mary stirs you, Mary calms you, Mary excites you, Mary quiets you,
with absolutely no regard for your blood pressure a nd all according t o the insistent
dictates of her unexpected impulses. And yet , who would not enj oy being moved
by such benevolent impulses, invariably destined as they are t o bring good to something
or t o someone. Thoroughly grounded and excellently well-versed in the ageless
classics of Greece and R ome, M ary is a scholar in toto, and by the same t oken the
capable P" esident of our Classical Society whose interests she sponsor and whose
ends she promotes with characteristic enthusiasm. Kindnessaduty with her, Mary ha
brightened many a spot for us during the last few years. Gracious, vibrant, and funloving,
she has shown us what a well-focussed perspective on life can make possible.
So much for a personality whose contact with us through Emmanuel has taken
110thing from her and has left us doubly blessed. Vale Mary !

MARY M U LLARKY DEVENNY
A hmont
Whose spirit sW'e is lineal to that
Which sang Magnificat.
- Franci Thompson
It is Mary's God-given sixth sense that we wish to reverence here : that keen
insight into the l'ealms of thought, into the half-hidden stl'ata of existing though
elusive realities whose depth and portent we know we may nevel' hope to ound.
Quietly she thinks hel' own c1eal' thought ; intuitively she gets to the core of a situation
with a mere cursol'Y glance; easily but surely she is going her untrammeled way
with a carele s although most eA'ective determination. Never overwrought, and consistently
self-posse ed, Mary's living is as steady as her thinking. Almost sanguine
in her constant cheery spirit, and happy demeanor, he tastes t o the fu ll the joys of
life that come her way, relishing with a imila r enthusiasm those of a transitory and
tho e of a durable nature. Always serenely equable and friendly, she has entertained
a quasi-universal friendship with us all, welcoming OUl' confidences, sympathizing
with OUl' aims and being alway there when we want her which i very often indeed.
Mary's tranquil simplicity of bearing give the effect of restrained powers which if
released would be nothing hort of overwhelming. In just ucb volume arc her intellectual,
hel' moral, and her spiritual forces of re erve. Mary bas the instinct, the a pirations,
and the enlightenment of a native poet. A modern vi ionary he is a seer of
beauty in the running b1'oolcs, in the eyes of tho e about her, on the page before her,
in life, in her OWI1' heart.

GRACE MARIE DOHERTY
East Boston
11 er life is a luvely fairy-tale.
- Washington lrvillg
Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what (}race is made of. Perennially
smiling, unfailingly pleasant, and characteri tically affable, Grace radiates the
sweetness that is so essentially a part of her, :flavoring it with a demure delicacy that
is as engaging as it is graceful. Gayly she blazes her roseate trail, making the most of
every opportunity, compelling the fond regard of all who have anything to do with
her, and rounding out a social career of personal charm and accomplished savoir
faire. Capable, efficient and practical, Grace is at no more of a loss at the management
of official responsibilit ies than he is at the enviable art of making herself
universally agreeable. Well-read, quick and alert, her society is as beneficial a, it is
informative, and as refreshing as it i timulating. F ew know that she i a talented
musician (piano and organ) for with forbearing modesty she has deprived us of the
privilege of enjoying her gift. Ambitious, enthu iastic, and progressive, Grace looks
for the better things of t his mortal li fe- a nd finds them. T actfully ingratiating,
panoplied with solid principles, and unfalteringly discreet, she is OuI' exponent of
fl awless good taste. T o her goes the title, pledge of our highest praise- a perfect lady.

the fine speeches, the pithy sentences, which on the sudden she hath
uttered, they wOll lcl breed the greatest admiration!
- John Lyly
Our exponent of gay subtlety, \Vhip-like though sting-cured repartee, sudden
sparkling wit and rapid retort, Alice has had the effect of a stimulant on us during
the last four years. A few minutes with her on the tair , in the hall, or in the locker
room worked like a tonic (excepting, of course, on the rare though tantalizing occasions
when she made use of those odious weapons, pun, to taunt us!) To Alice, the
ridiculous is eq ually as precious artistically as the ublime. He)' attitude, 0 )' dare we
venture, her philosophy, has achieved classical prominence among us, so evidently
succes ful is it in the development of the niceties of both character, intellect, and
insight. For to laugh with genuine mirth, one must have the firm perspective that
spots in tantIy the incongruity of the ludicrous. It is thi arne stability of perspective
that gages such things as the q'tlality of mercy, of justice, of gentlenes , of native
sweetne ,of sympathetic unde)'standing, and that abound in the mille of htl11'wn
kindnes. ·. High ideals, eager reachings into the spiritual realm of beauty, fathomless
depths of solid worth : these sketches only begin to sugge t the real Alice, the Alice
behind those laughing brown eye. , the Alice who leave with each of u a breath of
her optimism, of her depth, and with Emmanuel, her spirit undaunted.

- J ohn Keats
Quizzicall y Connie has exchanged a sly wink, a dry quip and a good joke with
each of us, at some time dming the last four years, and we have that fondness for her
that every crony cherishes for those who listen t o his fish-st ories as if they enj oyed
them. Always agreeable and most invigorating company, she is sought out universally,
and in spite of a decided reserve which no one ever quite breaks through, he
keeps a steady hold on the attention of any group. F or t hough she is always very
quiet and most unobtrusive of bearing, t here is yet a certain dynamic quality t o anything
that she doe say, that gives her a decided prominence among us not of her own
seeking. Connie i bound t o be happy because she makes her own happiness, contributing
largely the while to that of those about her. Accepting whatever comes her
way with a cheery toicism that would do Socrates credit, he is never heard complaining.
Behind a perfectly reposed countenance, any fun might be brewing, any
thoughts hiding, any plans forming. There is so much more t o her than even her
unfailing good nature, her aversion t o friction, and he t· in piring optimi m. These
are but the keys to the Connie who has forged her place among us with the very
energy of her sincerity.

PHYLLIS DREW
Fctncy, Fiendship, srniling peace
Thy gentlest influence own.
- William Collins
A brisk weetness, an eager kindline ,a perfect selfles nes - a certain dashing
engaging way with her, has Phyllis, a smile that warms you, an unassuming gentle
grace that is sure to ingratiate you. Her consistent sanguine cheer has been her welcome
herald to any of our gatherings, and her light impersonal greeting has started
many of our days off right. Obliging to a fault, Phyllis will go to indescribable
lengths t o be of ervice. She cannot do enough to show her willingness to help, and
her share of any duty is always overdone. Consequently her support has been in
constant demand in the past, and her generous response never found wanting. For
Phyllis is one of those rare persons whose entire energy is spent in unqualified, unre
erved giving, of their initiative, of their thought, and of their time. Alway doing
something for somebody, she has lost sight of the ego and stands shorn of a ll petty
meannes es, all tmces of envy or di satisfaction. Supremely content, she overrides
unpleasantne with a counteracting kindness; she rejoices in the happiness of others
and does her part to well it. Whole-heartedly enthusiastic, Phyll is has added to thc
zest of countless affairs, reserving however a certain fond, patient spirit for the promoti"on
of the interests of the Athletic Society in whose direction she now shares as
Vice-Pre ident. Even as her service in this capacity, our regard will be a memorial
to her.

ANNE G E RTRUDE D R r rAN
D orchester
J like her beauty, I like her delicacy, [ like her v'ivClcity, and [ like her silence.
- Samuel J ohrison
Anne's daintiness of manner matches t he pain takingly etched delicacy of her
t hought. Artlessly demure, she remind us of the lovely ladies on the cameos with
t heir sensitive features and their gent le inquiring glance. Anne is a dreamer of beaut
iful dreams, an eager searcher after the ideal. Sometimes she find it and our Ethos
is t he J'icher for a play with a soul , a short st ory that lives, 0 1' a poem that sparkles.
Quaintly child like in . orn e of the attitudes which have become deal' t o us, she will
look t he picture of whimsical, innocent wonder while puzzling out some problem or
other. And yet, pamdoxically, at t imes he assumes (with her glasses perhaps) a
woddly-wiseness and a real sophistication that combine t o give her the august
reliability of a " mighty omcle!" The dire extent of her just sense of responsibility
in t he performance of a duty is evinced by the thoroughness and the enthu iasm
with which she does her extensive work as the capable Editor-in-Chief of our E thos,
(faidy proof-reading t he words right off t he pages!) . M ode t t o the point of grossly
undermting in all sincerity t he excellent quality of her own work, Anne is surely
blessed in her humility. F or she will live in the E thos that she has planned for us, and
in the choicest of our memories of Emmanuel.

EVELY A IE D UCEY
Brighton
If e1' very 'me'mory is fair and uright.
- Henry Yaughan
Some people a l'e popular because of the ease with which they" hold the Hoor "
in a group, and others because of their evident preference to act the appreciative
audience. Few do thi la t with the effect that Evelyn achieve . She certainly excels
in the art of getting the point, of inserting with a dash exactly the word that is
a pmpos, of giving the spice to ordinary small talk by her very receptive mood.
There would never be any great conversationalists if there were not people like
Evelyn to bear with them, to spur them on, and to incite them to better defined
cleverness. But the perfected science of listening is the lea t of Evelyn's graces, although
it i highly characteristic. She sees a point because she knows how to make
one. She appreciates humor becau e her own wit is keenly developed; she enjoys a
good story with a vim , becau e he know how to tell one. H owever, Evelyn tudiously
avoids the limelight although by nature he is not a bit retiring. Neither is
she of a quiet temperament although she constantly refrains from taking the initiative.
A contradiction in terms, though she is one of our gayest, she prefer to enj oy
her'self quietly, without exertion, and at no one' expense. Her contagious carefree
laugh is a fi gurative mirror of the insouciant openne s with which she faces life. H er
limitles generosity is a b'yword, her loyalty a certainty, and her sympathy inevitable.
In the jargon of today Evelyn, we find our "perfect tribute" to you: Y ou,'re

ELEA ' OR ELIZABETH F ARR
Fal.sehood never marred thy discou1·se.
- J ean Racine
Of the countless nice things that we know of Eleanor, the unmitigated, unreserved
quality of her generosity gives it a deserved prominence in any consideration
of her. F or Eleanor is one of the selBe elect who never count the cost in giving,
whether it be a ride in her roomy car or the prodigal expen e of her energies toward
the furthering of some lucrative project for the benefit of the Foreign Mission Society,
whose fortunes she guides as its inexhaustible President. Alert t o all progressive
developments about her, she keeps her finger on the pul e of the class and can
ea ily furnish any data, psychological or per onal, upon request. H er cholarly
habits are evidenced by the laudable truth of her proud boast that she ha never
"cut." Who could say more? (Or as much!) Eleanor's charitable bent, that she
should be proud to hear deemed most highly characteristic of her, is as wholehearted
and as unhe itating as her thoughtfulne i unceasi ng. Brusque, undemonstrative,
but staunchly true, her force for good among u overrides all other considerations.
As the years race on and as memories fade, there will remain indelibly eng,:aved
in the vista of yesterday, for Emmanuel and for us, those eight little words
from Eleanor's pen, loyal and tme to the gold and blue, to remind us of hcr.

SHIRLEY PATRICIA F AY
Belmont
H ar7noniously charming, graceful, brilliant.
- Leconte de Li Ie
Ultramodern and perfectly well-poised, Shirley's charm is one of lazy good
nature, easy nonchalance and enviable composure. She has the self-po se ion of a
born socialite and the statelines and dignity that are but accompanying graces t o
the faci le swing of her distinguished carriage. Eager to progress and limitin cr her
aspirations to no one sphere, Shidey is a most invigorating compani on, by vil·tue
both of her wealth of information (gleaned through extensive travel and personal
expel'ience) and of her characteristic conversational ability, the trend of wh ich
ranges from the matter-of-fact t o the really clever. Whatever Shirley doe, he does
with ada h, that gives it originality if not always perfection. H er apparent forbidding
re erve is but a cloak for certain little endeal'ing traits that have secured her a n
enduring title to our regard. Her sympathy once aroused is all embracing and her
sincerity incontestible. She will not mince words. Her thoughts will always out, but
they are invariably kind thoughts and tolerant ones . Her dry subtle humor is the
weapon with which she meets life unconcerned. Her friendliness is impulsive, her
disposition ·equable, unspoiled, and t otally unselfish. A quaint sweetness that will
not be hidden by even its most effective antidote, sophistication, is evident after
vel'y few dealings with Shirley, whose insight is often quite directly pointed a nd
who e reactions are as just a i OUI' appreciation of her rugged individuality.

Presenting Nantucket 's gift to Emmanuel. When we first began to appreciate
our lovely Eileen, we were sorely t empted to break out into that lilting sextette Tell
me, pretty maiden, are there any more at home like you? It does not seem likely, however,
that there could be, for t o date, Eileen's sweet mildness, her unobtrusive
pleasant bearing, her quiet dignity, and her obliging helpfulness have been unparalleled
among us. Naturally gifted along all cultural lines, Eileen is an ardent schola r
whose diversified activities although not confined to anyone field are for the most
part concentrated linguistically. H er ambition is complemented by a characteristic
modesty that will be sure to keep her the dainty, retiring, unassuming little lady
that she is. Eileen's gayety, her ringing la ugh and her demure naivete combine t o
give her a different enviable something, for which, as we say, we may look elsewhere
in vain. She brings among us the spirit that she brings to her many social engagements;
hers is a constant buoyancy, not a chimeric cheer. Eileen's charm fall into a
sort of tr·iological grouping that we shall always remember: eager fri endliness, cholastic
ease, and social grace.

And invariably her detached, unprejudiced comments are more than sufficient
antidotes for our grumbling, H er unfailing resourcefulne s i a boon that

fOI' good order, and competent skillful alTangement, a flair for discursive scholastic
perfection and a genius for fri endship, Mat·y's collegiate career has been effectively

by-words. Always in search of new experiences, constantly eeking new impressions
and thoughts, he is living a looking-ahead. Directly hank, she brook no equivocation

It would be rather interesting t o take a vot e on Sally, if for no other reason
than t o gage statistically the magic effect of her decided universality. To begin with,
even without the official help of this expedient, we kn ow that we should undoubtedl y
find that she had been sweeter t o each one of us individually than any other member
of '35. Somehow, Sally has surely gotten to more of us than anyone, whether by her
off-h and, all-embracing fri endliness generally, whether by a good-natured laugh at
one of our joke, whether by a well-timed word of sympathy, or a little generou pat
on the shoulder, at the right moment. At any rate, we all cherish a little warm spot
for her, that will remain long after our memorie of her committee-work at our
Freshman T ea-Dance, and of her greatest feat , the Chairmanship of our Junior
Prom are passed; long after her casual unhurried way, her kind warm smile, and the
memory of her frank blue eyes have faded from our mental vision. F or Sally's claim

Through the ages there have arisen inspired souls, poets, and historians who
have left word-portraits of their times . A dedicated spirit to the immortalization of
" thirty-five," Mary's art has caught something of both the poet and the historia n
in handling this, our EPILOGUE. Encomiums have had place when men are silent, but
this volume speaks ! Mirrored thwugh the light, the depth and the soul of Mary's
own lovely eyes, we behold our elves in miniatme. It is too, her own Celtic humo,·,
kindliness and understanding, her own nobility and ideality, aye, it is the om nipl·esent
charity of her own heart that has, as always, insistently sought our prettiest
pose. Her characteristic quiet simplicity, he,· even temper, her calm dignity and her
eam est sincerity wait upon the ready sympathetic fri endliness that is never spent,
the gentle smile that invariably greets you. With almo t the same fondness, we shall

unhulTied, constant amiability. T o her, Olll· EPILOGUE owes its effectiveness and its

She puts he'!" el'!"ea:rns (mel he'}' sentiment 1:nto he'!" aims where they ol/ght to

- Gilbert K. Chesterton
Efficiency, ambition, and competence: these are the "handmaids with whose
help Helen has fashioned the many-hued sampler of her scholastic career at Emmanuel.
To say that she was intellectually resourceful would be to put mildly the
native keen insight, the scientific urge and the boundless energy that have made
possible her brilliant achievements in all lines during the last four years. Somehow
these remarkable strides seem hardly compatible with our breezy, jolly, carefree
Helen, whose every attitude proves her to be the essence of geniality, naturalness,
and good cheer. Never talking shop and always most unconcerned, it was by the
. barest accident that we learned of her intention of entering Medical School in the
fall. Limiting her interests to no one scope, she is as well-versed in all the phases of
our community life here, as she is in the development of current world history.
Matter-of-fact in a nice individual way of her own, H elen may be always counted
on to greet you with that bright approach, to give you adequate response to all
demands, whether of a social or of a practical nature, to furnish that helpful bit of
moral stimulation, and unconsciously to rub you the right way. She can't help
being thoughtful and kind and cheery any more than we can help liking her and
respecting her genius for amiability!

ETHEL MARY KELLEHER

- Hartley Coleridge
Boundlessly enthusiastic and characteristically intense, Ethel will admit of no
dull moments. Resolutely she has determined to enjoy even Greek, and to do so, not
only placidly but with a vim. Awesomely inspiring to us, who may only watch in
envying wonder her enraptured, whole-hearted interest in every class, Ethel's tireless
projection of herself into each new concern is nothing short of remarkable. Fortunately
her prodigal expense of energy is not limited t o scholastic pursuits and often
finds expression in zealous cooperation, loyal friendship, gay fun-making, and
timely assistance. Exceedingly friendly and natural, Ethel is easy to know and
.easier to be fond of. Very business-like, and yet very off-hand, she accomplishes
countless things in a short time, and with an ease that is universally coveted. Quick,
inoffensively and rather dearly abrupt, she anticipates your most rapid thoughts
with a deadly logic and an unrivalled skill. Witty, ingenious, and entertaining she
radiates an unconscious magnetism that draws us all irrevocably to her. Superahve,
Ethel is keyed to every change or development among us; and her shrewd
analysis of us has no doubt given her that most effective means of winning us
completely.

- J ohn Greenleaf Whittier
Our native enthusiast, H elen has wakened us out of the apathy of occasional
boredom to the pleasant realization of the wealth of beauty and happiness around
us, ours for the taking, or rather, for the eager reaching out. Ardent, bright, and
vital, she has grasped with a clear-eyed sureness the proportional significance of
things and her hearty living is the result of a well-balanced perspective; her every
day, a year of fulfilled anticipations. Emanating gayety, exuding content, and
effervescing joy, her principal concentration is adapted not to the making of friends
(that takes care of itself) but to the keeping of them, an art in which she is unexcelled.
Her utter forgetfulness of self is her most charming characteristic, and her
tactful, considerate solicitude bound to rise to any occasion. Delightfully fresh and
unspoiled, Helen attracts by her very artlessness, the affection, the admiration and
the est eem of all of us. Exceptionally talented in dramatics, she has modest ly, notwithstanding,
kept from our spotlight. A student paT e:.r:cellence, Helen is on the road
to erudition. With each of us, however, she will leave rather, a bit of her sweetness,
of her gentle delicacy.

earnestness, Elizabeth brooks no possibility of evil around her, and looks always
with a childlike anticipation for the beauty that she invariably finds. Her placid
simplicity mirrors the sterling worth that we have sensed with instinctive sureness;
her thoughtfulness bespeaks the consideration that motivates all her activity.
Quietly she has written her page in our class hist ory, unobtrusively she has given

Thy lips scorn falsehood.
- Sully Prudhomme
Cecile will always enjoy our highest esteem, so unqualified are her wellthought-out
opinions, so decided her stand in any of our little controversies, so
honest and just her attitudes. Without hesitation, she will, if you seek her reactions,
deliver her quiet ultimatums straight from the shoulder and shorn completely of any
pacifying elements. Tranquilly she goes about her affairs with an infallible discretion;
patiently she will never refuse a request, and as a result, is constantly in demand,
for a little light on a tricky French sentence, or for a peek at some of her
answers. Alrriost too willing to lend a hand, she has our universal gratitude for
countless well-timed lifts over bad spots. One of the first to enjoy an amusing situation,
she has often contributed to the general hilarity with a precious bit of her dry
humor. Rather given to a modified philosophism, she indulges frequently, with her
ready cohorts, in the vagaries of the speculative science. An undaunted logic keeps
her always well-advised and her commitments plausible. Who of us could do aught
but remember fondly, Cecile's gentle unassuming dignity, fit manner, for the 'Cile

A charming brook where1·n deep waters flow. Dorothea's quiet demure reticence
has not hidden, but rather has it enhanced, the ready, eager friendliness, the unselfishness,
and the dainty vivacity that we know to be hers. Always compliant and
agreeable, her amiability and generous response are invariably among the first to be
counted on in any undertaking. Faithful to anything that she st.arts, given the opportunity,
she will carry it through with a vim that seems almost impossible coming
from" diminutive Dorothea." Determined to excel in everything that she takes on,
she never falls very short of her mark: witness her ease in classroom and ballroom,
on tennis court and in swimming pool, in driving and riding, and in the making and
keeping of friends. Consistently self-possessed, she is at home anywhere, adapting
herself to her environment with a facility that is nothing short. of admirable. Remarkably
acquisitive Dorothea has achieved scholastic security with scarcely any
effort. However, although we should probably not have missed t.oo awfully all these
laudable traits, we know now that we could never have done without Dorothea's
eagerness to help, to be agreeable and to give happiness.

Millbury

- William Sha.kespeare
Famed among us for her constant calm serenity, Mary's is the quiet undisturbed
bearing of the spiritually secure. Resignedly stoical, she accepts with inimitable
patience and forbearance all the little reverses that might come her way, reserving
for the pleasant things the hearty, joyful mirth that so often is part of her.
Among her most characteristic habits, is that perennial desire to be of service, to be
helpful and agreeable. Instinctively active, idleness, even in leisure, does not come
within Mary's range. She enjoys nothing better during free time than a brisk hike
through the woods and over the countryside where the beauties of primeval nature
are as balm to her, though they unfortunately are mysteries to so many of us. Revelling
in the cleanness of the great out-of-doors, Mary radiates a strong wholesomeness.
Very deliberate in all she does, she spares no pains that all her work be of high
quality. As Treasurer of the German Society, she has displayed an adamantine
t enacity and a management of financial expedient that could be second only to tha.t
of Alexander Hamilton! Modestly sincere, and charitable, Mary's earnest , loyal
ways have earned her oUl' highest esteem.

interests, Elinore has described a magic circle here at Emmanuel, within the radius
of which she has established in perfect relation, her scholastic activity, her friendly
contacts, her executive functions, and her social engagements. Full of rhythm and
grace, and artIstically inclined generally, she has directed the dancing for many of
our plays and has been our make-up artist ever since Freshman days. With the skill
of a professional she can transform a set of everyday Emmanuelites into a distinguished
looking cast by a mere wave of the hand. In Freshman days too, E linore
efficiently directed in the capacity of chairman, one of our most important affai rs,
the banquet to our Junior sisters. Always tastefully gowned, friendly, and sure of

earnest determination t o excel (laudable but rather frightening at times in its intensity)
is softened by the relaxed, gentle, bright smile that will transform her on meeting
your glance, from a detached absorbed student t o a gay sweet girl. Not that the

mourning them. H owever, in an instant they are with her again, all the more dear

her instinctive understanding of human nature. Replacing a t otal lack of affechtion

Quietly going about her own business, she brightens the way here and there with a
spirited contribution to the general merriment. As President of our Hist orical Society,

her poems have graced the Ethos, her songs have been lustily sung at most of our

prominent, Helen has figured in the cast of every play presented here
since our Freshman year. Impulsive, generous, and sympathetic she has made
friends easily. We doubt if there be any student at Emmanuel who does not know
H elen. H er sunny disposition always in evidence, she is perennially gay, composed,

But on the whole, she guards her inner self jealously, baring to the world the agreeable,

The class of '35 was extremely fortunate, as we have been realizing throughout

matter of distinguishing them, their middle initials were drafted into service. Anne
S. caused us considerable concern for a while, for reticent at first, she was in our class
for some time before she was of it. H owever, although slow in making friends, she
made them securely. Anne is very different from anyone you have ever known.
Happy-go-lucky to an enviable degree, she is friendly to all and ever thoughtful.
Nothing short of outstanding is her generosity and support of every Emmanuel
affair. No harassed ticket seller ever approached Anne in vain. (Didn't we say she
was different?) She possesse$ the traditional McCarthy flair for distinctive clothes
plus a penchant all her own for pink. Anne is a specimen of that mm avis a Math
major. Although most psychologists agree and insist that mathematics and music
do not mix, Anne's interest and faithful membership in the Glee Club throughout
four years proves the contrary. We hope that we may feel as confident of a place in
Anne's memories as she may feel of our lasting affection for her.

So intense, so forceful, so staunch, and yet at the same time so impersonal; so
abrupt and occasionally so paradoxically gentle, Oda requires a good bit of knowing.
And even after four years association with her, we feel that we have left unfathomed
and unsounded much of her depth, much of her genuine worth. Elemental, sturdy,
and highly principled in all her dealings, Oda's quick impulsiveness has its complementary
fiery enthusiasm, its immutable loyalty, and its brisk kindnesses. Extremely
ambitious, she has never lost sight of the scholastic zenith which she has
reached with a sure self-possession that we shall never cease being proud of. H er
place in our regard was attained however, rather by the earnest stimulating quality
of her friendship and by the limitlessness of her generosity. In outline, Oda's sincerity
and her eager, gay comradeship are as sharply etched as her opinions are honest.
Whole-hearted in everything she does, she exhausts her resources in giving unsparingly
of herself; consistently kind and gentle-hearted, she will refuse no request. Oda

less hearty way; pursuing her classical studies, Latin and Greek, with an enthusiasm
that woufd almost convince you that she enjoyed them too! Although we have
implied the obvious, that it takes all the king's horses and all the king's men to drag
Dot. away from Greek if she has a mind to do it, still we must admit that once away
from those weighty tomes, there is surely nothing heavily classic about D ot. Rather
is she spirited and lightly witty, good-natured and agreeable, full of fun and multiinterested.
Endowed with a tremendous power of concentration, she can write her
best thesis mid the roar and din of the cafeteria, pausing between proofs to join in
the general conversation, or should we say noise? A zealous, active member of the
Dramatic Society, she has never failed to appear in any of the plays since our college
babyhood and it has ever been to very best advant.age. Extremely cooperative, and
full of init.iative, D ot's help has been invaluable in her capacit.y as Assistant Business
Manager of the EPILOGUE. Demurely congenial and universally friendly, she is
genuine.

Roxbury
Whose smile, they say, hath virtue to remove
A ll love's dislilce, and friendship's faulty guile.
- Edmund Spenser
Although reserved and absorbed in her own affairs, H elen has nevertheless
made us decidedly conscious of her forceful personality. Very frank and sincere
always, she may be counted on t o give you an unbiassed opinion. Sufficient socially
and mentally unto herself, she does not seek fri ends. They seek her and find in her
cheery, earnest friendship a pea1'l of great price. Perennially good-humored, Helen is
rarely ever seen without her bright smile. Strong-willed and det ermined, H elen's
college career has been perfectly well-rounded in the scholastic field and bodes well
for her future. An ardent conscientious student, she made the t op with one bound in
Freshman year, and has remained at her post . Her intense interest in Spanish and
her wide knowledge of it, won the recognition of all Spanish students which resulted
in her election to the Presidency of E l Club Espanol. Always congenial and approachable,
Helen's most important characteristics so far as we are concerned, are her
priceless underst anding, her ready word of sympathy, and her bright smile. In proportion
as they have helped us along the way H elen, we wish you happiness !

She treads without hesitation the paths of honor.
- Pierre Corneille
Peg is one of our quieter elect, and for this reason perhaps her ability is not
sufficiently appreciated and her characteristics not so generally known. Calm of
manner and soberly thoughtful, she goes about her work with a cheerfulness and an
energy which are the envy of more than a few of us. Moreover she never disdains t o
lend a helping hand in any difficulty. H er ambitions tend scientifically, and noting
the results of her studies here, especially in chemistry, we feel confident that success
must crown her efforts. Co-founder, Vice-president and charter member of the
Chemistry Society, she has done signal research and much difficult testing. Majoring
in chemistry as you have guessed, Peg takes her courses, including Biology, Physics
and Mathematics; they do not take her! We cannot but hope for great things from
her and reviewing the characteristics that have made her socially and scholastically
prominent here at Emmanuel, we feel that our fondest expectations will soon be
realized. Whether they are or not, she will always hold the same place in our esteem!

which she serves as President . A skilled violinist , her musical prowess is well-known,
outstanding, and remarkable. H ow many times have we thrilled t o her spirited interpretations

A lady young and beaut1ful.
- Dante
Clare has actually achieved that far-famed happy medium. Scholastically one
of our rankjng members and socially a brilliant cosmopolite, she unites intelligence
and charm, poise and tact, instinct and insight. Her sense of honor and her intense
loyalty to her friends indicate the quality of her principles. Clare's versatility, her
remarkable power of concentration, and her entertaining moods are perhaps most
highly characteristic, but we shall most enjoy remembering her generous, affectionate
unselfishness, her genial personality, and above all the high ideals that cannot
fail to b1'ing her to a glorious haven. Having schooled herself to a sensible well-balanced
outlook on life, and having established her activity in perfect proportion,
Clare's philosophy is classically modulated. Infectiously good-humored and comradely,
Clare's is a whole-hearted fellowship and ours the joy of remembering fondly
her delightful short stories, her conversational cleverness, and her friendliness.

Joining our ranks in Junior year, Dorthea's facile adaptability soon made her
one of us. Always a perfect lady, her soft voice, gentle manner, and gracious smile
indicate the charm of her companionship. Poise and refinement characterize all her
social relations, which are many; and her exquisite taste in dress is the envy of all of
us. Lithe in figure and graceful in bearing, her every movement reveals her training
as a dancer, and we all have witnessed the nimbleness of her dainty feet. Dramatic
talent and a rare intelligence are hers in their apex. Dot's merry, carefree laughter
and her light-hearted ness would never give hint of the serious pensive moods that
often lie beneath it. Her thoughtfulness, kindness, and appreciation are genuine; her
sympathetic understanding, sincere. Dorthea combines a charming manner with a
captivating personality. A pleasant voice, dainty cameo-like features, slender grace
and bright sweetness are only a few of the things that we shall remember of her.
That her days may be ever as serene as she has made them here, is our heartiest wish!

ELEANOR JOAN O'BRIEN
Newtonville

-Luis de Gongora y Argote
Eleanor is hard to know at first but her casual reticence, once bridged, is found
not to be a reticence at all, but simply a reserve that shields the many sturdy traits
that we have learned to admire in her. Immediately impressed by her pleasant dignified
manner, everyone who comes in contact with Eleanor is bound to make an
instinctive bid for her friendship. Her interests are far-flung and all her remarks are
apt. A subtle dry wit, constantly a source of amusement to her friends, is most
characteristic of her. Perfect discretion in all her activity makes it well-planned and
her confidence worth having. Prominent in various phases of our class history
Eleanor has been elected successively as our Freshman Treasurer, to the Sophomore
Bridge Committee, and co-author of our Junior Class play. This year her initiative
has been invaluable in her capacity as Assistant Business Manager of this, our
EPILOGUE. Eleanor has begrudged neither her time nor her interest to any of our
college affairs. Rather have they thriven because of her support. We sue for the
prominent place in Eleanor's regard, that she has achieved in ours.

dependable where even all the other O'Briens might be absent, Mary is invariably

sparkling wit and a keen sense of humor, that account for her acceptance of everything
with a grain of salt. This independence of thought makes not for radicalism
but rather for strict adherence to principle, firm courage of conviction. A leader
scholastically and socially among us, Mary is universally liked. Her friepdly cheerful
smile and her gentle ways are sure to captivate her future associates as they have
succeeded in charming us all here. Ever ready to share with one and all her valuable

Frances charmed us from the very first with her fragile sweet refinement, her
dainty ways and her quaint loveliness. Heartily, enthusiastically friendly, she welcomed
our confidences and has received them in abundance. Earnest and keen, she
has achieved many scholastic feats among us, her literary tastes and ability being so
widely appreciated as to warrant her election as Assistant Literary Editor of the
Ethos. A member of the famous "House," Frances is beloved by all those who have
lived with her there during the past years. Generous, eager, and spontaneous, she
has earned our heartfelt affection by her affability, her agreeableness, and her sweet
amiability. Circumspect and self-possesEed, she often reminds us of Mrs. Meynell's
"Shepherdess" who you will remember" has her soul to keep." The essence of discretion
and charity, Frances keeps her soul, her personality freely individual, tol'erant
and gentle, bringing its, inherent loveliness to bear on all those whom she contacts.
She has a poet's intuition; she knows her friends and they know her! It is
sweet to feel that neither time nor event can ever rend the bond of friendship between
us, Frances, for we value your regard as deeply as we cherish your memory.

South Boston
Queenly attitude and ai1'
Laughing eyes and debonair.
- El Commendador Escriva
It seems nigh impossible, although our records prove it conclusively, that Ann
. was not always among us here at Emmanuel. For in spite of the fact that we have
never forgotten the ease with which she gained our friendship in Sophomore year, it
is difficult to recall what things were like without her. A reserved nonchalance, a
classic grace, discreet reticence, and inbred refinement were all a part of our first
impression of Ann. Time and more close association with her haye convinced us that
in all the desirability of these traits, they are but indications of the immense powers
for social good that are latent in her and that have helped to erect many of our common
standards. Extremely sane in her reactions and level-headed in her decisions,
Ann legislates for herself with a shrewdness and a common sense that keep her
always headed aright. Disarmingly frank and utterly sincere, she yet succeeds in
keeping behind inoffensive barriers an elusive bit of herself, a train of thought that
is never exposed to the glare of day but that is kept preciously aside for her own
personal meditations or perchance for private discussion among intimate friends who
are after all other selves. Irrepressibly humorous, she sees a little that is amusing in
everything. H er sensitive delicate features indicate the artistic bent in Ann whose
literary talent is of no mean value. Tactful, self-composed, kindly, and direct, Ann
will keep her place among us as easily as she made it.

Methuen
Proud word you never spolce.
- William Savage Landor
Optimistic, off-hand, and impulsive, Eleanor has surprised us from the very
beginning. Whether intentionally or not, she always may be counted on to do the
unexpected. Never promising anything, she will offer finally, more than you would
have dared hope from anyone. Breezily detached from most concerns, her sympathetic
understanding and moral sustenance in a crisis become all the more valuable
for having been unsolicited and unforeseen. Truly gifted with the enviable
faculty of seeing with equally unbiassed fairness both sides of any situation, Eleanor's
is indeed a rare probity. Witty with the force of dry pungent subtlety, she
keeps the atmosphere about her charged with cheerfulness, gayety, and fun. Dreamy
and sensitive, she seeks self-effacement, determinedly hugging her modesty to her.
However, once out of her shell, she will amaze you with the originality of her conceptions.
An enigma to us for so long, we have arrived at the truth about Eleanor;
at last we have sounded the depths of her actual worth-while-ness which will be an
inspiration in the years to come.

Good thoughts her only friends.
- Thomas Campion
Frances first impressed us with those ingenious translations of "Roman Historians
"; never had we seen such poise, such self -confidence, such dauntless selfpossession!
Always mistress of herself, she has since managed to remain constantly
at her best. Insatiably interested in everything that" swims into her ken," Frances's
receptiveness makes her companionship most exhilarating, her friendship pleasant,
and her conversation amusing. Matter-of-fact to a certain degree, she is practical
only so far as expediency demands, however, for her infectious Irish humor puts
monotony to rout as surely as it brightens so many otour "get-togethers." Generously
friendly, Frances is always the same quiet, keen, smiling onlooker; of us to be
sure, and yet at times, seemingly viewing us from a distance. Studying us intently,
Frances has learned how to think of us, how to handle us, how to manage us, and how
to win our friendship. The very stability of her disposition invites us to rely on her
constancy and encourages our confidences. We shall enjoy remembering her sure
casual" hello's," her quiet consistency, her occasional sweet wistfulness, and especially
her self-effacing generosity!

There was something about our nrst meeting with Mary that aroused our immediate
interest and respect. After that first meeting, in many little ways our nrst
impression has been amply justified. Keen in appearance and in actuality, she surveys
life with an aliveness and an alertness that is essentially characteristic. On close
acquaintance with her, her sense of humor, which is as intelligent as it is quick, and
her eager kindnesses are the bonds that seal our regard for her. Anything but superncial,
Mary's bearing, her interests, her conversation, and her thought all boast the
stamp of culture. Generosity almost a failing with her, her sympathy and willing
assistance wait upon one's need. A zest for life and for the beauty that she can make
a part of hers, is the foundation of Mary's personal philosophy. Taking particular
delight in literary pursuits, she never misses a lecture or a play and is always
equipped to discuss with perfect poise the latest trends in the work of our contemporaries.

We cannot but bless the happy chance that brought H elen to our midst, even

We feel somewhat as if we had been cheated out of three years pleasant companionship
with her. For during this last year we have so enjoyed her quiet ways, her
fri'endliness, and her unobtrusive though hearty comradeship. H elen's serene presence
has been as welcome as her quick smile and ready greeting have been spontaneous
and cheering. Extremely earnest and persevering, H elen has achieved a
most creditable scholastic record, and we shall always remember her obviously
intent enjoyment of those big books in the library. Not either that she overworked
herself, but simply that Helen has impressed us by her evident energetic savoring of
everything that she does. She even seems t o muse with a peculiar vim, and mentally
we shall often envisage her gently preoccupied, keeping always "to the even t enor

we feel that she has given us four years worth of genuine friendliness.

There is something beneath Elinore's ready wit and musical laugh, her bubbling

with which she seems t o look about her, studying people and measuring
them by what they actually prove themselves t o be. Yes, there is a sensitive shrewd
keenness in Elinore that is born of her intense powers of observation and of conjecture;
of her instinctive search for truth and beauty in knowledge, and in art.
Unhurried, and never too busy to lend a hand, Elinore's is as unruffled, as serene an
existence as could be imagined. A splendid musician, athlete, and scholar, she excels
in all the phases of her career here at Emmanuel. The chemistry laboratory seems to
be her special haunt during spare hours, and we do not doubt that "these are but

Freshman Week, 1934, was ushered in on September seventeenth. On that
happy day, some ninety little women came clamoring at Emmanuel's gate for admittance
and for their Juniors. They were soon taken in t ow and adequately managed
by the capable newly initiated upperclassmen, who in sisterly fashion gave
them their first lessons in college ways, clarifying such queer and bot.hersome things
as "conflicts " and the occurrence of Biology 1 in six different places. The Baby
Party was a great success and the judges awarded the following traditional decisions :
Miss Helen Bastable, the prettiest.; Miss Rita Crispo, the most original: and Miss
Mary Flannery, the healthiest baby. Reassuming their new collegiate dignity
forthwith, the newcomers were introduced t o the faculty and given a " get-acquainted
party" by the Seniors.
Time, jealous of the lingering moment.s, has rolled on since Freshman week.
The upper classes, watching appraisingly the efforts of these youngest members,
were surprised and charmed by the ready grace and dignity with which they conducted
their T ea Dance. They have assimilated already the foundation of the ideals
and traditions of Emmanuel and we have good cause t o anticipate great things for
our baby class of nineteen hundred and thirty-eight.

honors by her capable management of the affilir. The Somerset was thronged and
we danced to our hearts' content. It furnished subject for conversation for weeks
after.
Quite in contrast with our former pleasures was that of our first retreat. Under
the direction of a Jesuit father we spent three days in recollection. Not long after,
our mid-year exams were in full swing. The trepidation experienced by Freshlpen
before these trials of the college student can never be fully appreciated by one who
has not undergone a similar tribulation. Nevertheless we seemed to survive for we
all returned for the second semester.
Junior Prom was the first social event of the season. How we gazed in mute
admiration as our Juniors marched in gay evening attire down the glittering ballroom!
Before we realized it. Easter was upon us- a short vacation- a few short
weeks of study, and final exams awaited us. Experienced once before, they did not
now seem so overwhelming and soon we were witnessing our first Commencement.
We attended as many of the exercises as possible and finally bade a sad farewell to
our darling Seniors, who, while dignified and learned in our young eyes, had nevertheless,
welcomed and befriended us. Our first year was over. The cycle of events
making up the college year was to be repeated each of the successive years but with
an increasing impressiveness as our class assumed more responsibility.
It is strange the effect a few short months can have on one's outlook. From
June to September, yet we returned with an assurance and a superiority astonishing
to those who had previously known us. No longer Freshmen, it seemed to us quite
necessary to impress this fact on the world at large. Forgetting our terrors of a year
before, we went about casting veiled threats and spreading dark rumors concerning
the fate of all Freshmen. With Rose Mullin as chairman of the Initiation picnic
we broke our first tradition, or perhaps we should say made a new one. Instead of
Fieldston we took our Freshmen to Riverside. They were duly put through their
paces and peace reigned.
At Christmas time, those of our number who boasted of a passion for dramatics
found ample room for their many talents in the annual Christmas play. Later we
had our retreat given by a Passionist Father. His marvelous oratory and moving
sermons impressed us deeply. At Easter our second attempt at founding traditions
took place in the form of a bridge, when owing to the efforts of Mary Groden and
her committee all previous records for financial success were broken.
In May we held our election for Junior Class officers. Int.erest in these is
always heightened by the fact that the President will lead the Junior Prom. Dorothea
Hoar was chosen for that coveted privilege. As June approached and with it
the annual Commencement, we began to appreciate the fact that our sister class
was leaving us. During our first two years they had mothered us through all our
difficulties; now we were to face our battles alone. Only the thought that in September
we, too, would have our Freshmen to care for, contented us for their loss.
Our Freshmen put in their appearance in September, and were duly welcomed

Now it came to pass that at a certain time when the Wallacians were extinct and
the path to the drug-store gave no indication of becoming so, Emmanuel's illustrious
class of nineteen hundred and thirty-five (soon to become a blessed memory) gathered
together in its banquet hall for the last time. And during the progress of the
feast, tongues wagged right merrily with much ado about the happy past. And verily
'twas a goodly sight. And anon, one quiet damsel ventured to ask.
"What of the future?"
All were startled and looking wonderingly at one another, they echoed,
"What of the future?"
One more bold than the rest said,
"'Twill be thus."
Another said,
"'Twill be so."
When every maidenly tongue was loosed, a veritable din was created. And behold
there was one amongst them unknown to them who was a seer. Who arose in
the midst of them, and when all were silent, prophesied unto them, having first
uttered this warning:
"Ye daughters of Emmanuel, untimely knowledge will yet weaken the stoutest
of hearts. Think ye well ere ye let me speak."
And when no word was spake in protest, the seer began:
Thou, of the family Handrahan, named Agnes, since thou has persisted in
seeing the dark side of things, thy fate indeed looks black. For it is written thou
shalt marry the Maharajah of Obyjingo.
Thou of the Kane family, called Sally during the week and Sara on Sunday,
thou shalt turn thy hand to a fruitful occupation and be well content. For thou shalt
purchase a villa in Charlestown and cultivate grapevines.
Thou of the family M ereier, named Evangeline, who wast the first treasurer
of the class of '35, thy future will prove the wisdom of the choice. For thou shalt
open an office and specialize in collecting old debts.
Thou of the family Glidden, named Eileen, thou who hast been spreading heretical
views amongst thy classmates, I say to thee, repent! Unless thou dost, thou
shalt indeed be dust before thy time, but mostly ashes, for thou know est the fate of a
heretic.
Thou of the family Kelleher, named Helen, thou shalt be famed asa poet,
and in thine old age thou shalt compose an ode dedicated to Horace in gratitude to
him for his works which thou hast so thoroughly enjoyed (?) during thy college
career.
Thou of the Wallaee family, named Elinore, as thou hast always seen the bright
157

EPILOGUE
side of life, so shalt thou continue to do so. Thou shalt be a research chemist in the
Thomas A. Edison laboratories.
Thou of the family Stanton, called Mary, thou shalt be seized with a desire to
travel and thou shalt wander to the four corners of the earth. But thou shalt not be
satisfied until thou hast found a fifth corner to investigate.
Thou of the family Lampron, called Cecile, thou of the dauntless courage, thou
,
shalt venture into the sea of matrimony. Thou shalt marry the president of the Boston
and Maine Railroad and in time thou shalt provide free transportation for
Emmanuel students.
Thou of the family Bixby, named Agnes, thou has secretly hoped to become
an archaeologist, but alas! fear of the insect world will prevent thee. And so thou
shalt spend thy days in the light of a reading-lamp, "Tales of Secret Egypt" in thy
hands, dreaming of the time when thou shalt become a public benefactress, pinning
blue ribbons on insecticides.
Thou of the Coyle family, named Kathryn, who, like Niagara, art ever
falling, thou shalt fall once too often and settle down in the State of Idaho as Dr. and

lot. Thou shalt be one of the partners in a great romance. But alas! thou shalt never

during thy college days, wouldst insist upon going out to lunch when he would insist

EPILOGUE
2l. She always has a good one 3l. Whenever she is out of sight
Tucked up in her sleeve You shouldn't worry really
This store without a single pun For after you've looked everywhere
Is one of the things we hate most to leave. You'll find her with Miss Healey.
22. To go out with some young squire 32. She always minds her own business
Or not to go out and instead to retire When asked her opinion she'll balk
That is her nightly problem's range What can you do with someone like her
And that's the thing her friends find strange. It seems that the girl just won't talk.
23. She's a placid and well-ordered Senior 33. She'll never come to decent end
Who gets on at a calm even pace We're most ashamed to say
With dignity, beauty, and charm that's serene At least unless her manners mend
Written all over her face. So rumors "physic-al" portend!
24. Whether the day is bright and gay
Or wet with rain in torrents
Eleanor's always on her way
34. You may find her in Library 14
Any Monday at quarter to three
She looks and she looks and she looks out the
To catch that train to Lawrence. window
Just waiting for papa, you see.
25. Between the hours of twelve and one
On each rehearsal day
You're sure to find her pacing the Hoor
And waiting around for Kay.
35. When orchestra rehearsal
Is at twenty minutes to one
She has to stay in the building
26. Should you ask her any day
Her girl friends groan, "Some fun!"
If she has any regrets 36. When she was a cheery young soph'more
She'll look at you so mournfully
And answer" Marionettes"!
She certainly did her part
In driving her friends to Arlington
27. When she. isn't on time we imagine
Past the man with the old apple-cart.
Just how it all came about
The usual story is something like this
"You see a tire blew out. "
37. We just can't imagine what ails her
A cough or a cold in the head
It sure must be something, else how to explain
28. On entering the court each morn
Her interest in Harvard Med!
She's the first to be heard
And we welcome the sound of her lilting laugh
As the dawn-song of a bird!
38. Once she reaches the locker-room
She says she's in a hurry
And yet she mopes and mopes around
As though she hadn't a worry.
29.
A car full of gentlemen call here
Whether it snows or rains
One day she happened to see them
And promptly christened them swains.
39. She is a quiet little lass
She minds her P's and Q's
He will be a happy swain
Whatever man she woos.
30. She's really so very good-natured
And very obliging too
But when she is ready to drive her friends
home
She finds her big car just won't do.
40. She drives her car serenely
And never wears her glasses
When she meets a tree we wonder
If she hits or passes.

Her ways are mo.st discreet 56. We certainly think she's awfully mean
She has a certain prQminence And althQugh we hate to. make a fuss
'Cause she's Qur mQst petite. It's a shame the way she leaves her friends
WithQut a qualm, to. catch that bus!
47. It dQesn't make any difference
Whatever class she's in 57. She's full Qf vim and ginger
If she feels the least bit sleepy She always meets yQU with a smile
She sleeps in spite Qf the din. Her enthusiasm's as renQwned

Hence the Pepiloguc!
Long may it withstand!

FA VORITE PROVERBS OF THE
CLASS OF 1935
A stitch in time gathers no moss.
Too many cooks flock together.
You've buttered your bread, now you've got to lie in it.
A rolling stone is worth two in a bush.
Gather ye rosebuds while the iron is hot.
Do unto others what others would like to do to you, only do it first.
