Dear Alumnae.

On July I. 1951. I fell heir to the blessing of which every organization president dreams; namely. the perfect Board of Directors. With unprecedented enthusiasm and unselfishness this group launched a program for you. designed to enrich your lives spiritually. culturally, and socially, while assisting the College materially. Let me recall for you just a few highlights of their two years or service, not forgetting that in July, 1952. the terms of some members of the original Board exp ired and they were succeeded by equally energetic Alumnae.

The first evidence of their progress came when, through the kindness of Sister Superior Margaret Patricia , and the encouragement of our long-suffering Moderator, Sister Angela Elizabeth, there was established the first Alumnae_.Office. The Class Treasuries provided the funds to furnish it so beautifully, and pride and happiness now abound in the new Alumnae Home. This year the College completed the office by donating to the Alumnae the services of our first Executive Secretary, Miss Elizabeth Logan . We of the Alumnae are deeply grateful. - - - - A Publicity Director for the Association was named . Mrs. Charles Duplain played a vital part in the success of each undertaking by arranging for television and radio broadcasts, as well as complete coverage in all of the leading newspapers . - - - - Each year the first issue of Logos was sent to ALL Alumnae, contributors and non-contributors-a very generous gesture. Under the unse lfish and capable guidance of Miss Marie McCabe, each magazine surpassed the former in excellence. - - - - The Pledge Program inaugurated by His Excellency, Most Reverend Richard J. Cushing, DO., LL.D. was brought to a glorio,Llsly successful conclusion. - - - -Membership in the American Alumnae Council, which includes the Alumnae of all lea'ding colleges throughout the United States, was secured. - - - - An Alumnae Fund Program was adopted by the Association , and now plans are being made for the first " Student-Recruiting Program" to be carried on by the Alumnae.

October of each year witnessed the Fall Business Meeting and Tea, always one of our most enjoyable functions. Closely following, came the fabulous Fashion Luncheons-the first at the Meadows. under the chairmanship of the energetic Mrs. John J . Carney; the second, the unforgettable Celebrity Luncheon, under the capable direction of Mrs. Charles Duplain.

This message seems to list many "firsts ", or "firsts-in-a-Iong-time ". Notable among them was Miss Maryanna Pink 's presentation of the Christmas Bazaar, held on the same day that Mrs. George Kelleher arranged for the delightful " Enchanted Forest" for the children. It was one of the happiest days , in every way, and the Sisters labelled it the ir favorite-long may it continue! Another volunteer Chairman was Miss Barbara Scully, who raised the spirits of a large group of Alumnae, by inaugurating the Camellia Ball-a top success in every way. To Betty O 'Hearn, and Jean Carr who are now deep in plans for the second annual " Camellia Ball" on May I, at the Shelton Roof-just hope you have room for everyone! Miss Mary Gately brought great credit to herself and to the Board, when she directed last year's very successful Communion Breakfast. For the same event, this year, another first appeared by having the Breakfast Buffet style. It was inspiring to see so many crowding the Chapel-thanks to the tireless efforts of Miss Mary Holihan.

In the realm of culture, the Misses Patricia Twohig and Marie McCabe presented the noteworthy trio of Critics Forum speakers , for last year, as well as our most distinguished guest for this year, namely, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Archbishop Gerald P. O'Hara, DO., J.U.D., Papal Nuncio to Ireland , and former Papal Nuncio to Romania , who inspired us all.

Because of the visitation of the Reverend Mother General of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Rev. Mother Josepha de St. Fran<;ois, many permissions were granted w.hich brought great joy to the Alumnae. Among them was the privilege of having the Sisters join their former students and classmates for an evening of fun, following the Annual Alumnae Banquet. Miss Cynthia Brooks handled the first evening Banquet in the College Auditorium with such charm and efficiency, that again it is only fair to warn you that if you plan to attend on June I I, make arrangements early. The long-abandoned custom of inviting the Seniors to be guests at their first Alumnae function was revived-everyone was so happy. - - - - Mrs. Henry Robbins planned a delightful Baby Day, with all the darlings of the Alumnae on parade.

To Emmanuel 's equally understanding and encouraging Superiors, Sister Margaret Patricia and Sister Alice Gertrude ; to the faithful and inspiring Moderator of our Association, Sister Angela Elizabeth ; to every Sister at Emmanuel College ; to the members of the Board of Directors, Mesdames Charles Duplain, J . Harry Lynch , Edmond Donlan , Thomas Gaquin , George Snyder; and Misses Mildred Crowley, Clare Martell, Mary Gately, Julia Grandfield , Maryanna Pink, Mary Will, Mary Holihan, Patricia Gormley, Marie McCabe, Rita Desaulniers, and Patricia Twohig; to the Chairmen of the various committees ; to the Class Presidents and Agents ; to the unsung heroes, who have given so generously of their time and talents ; to my parents, my husband and children, without whose unfailing cooperation, my service would have been reduced to a minimum; and to each and every Alumna, I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation. You have all made it a joy for me to serve as Alumnae President. I say this most sincerely-my blessings have been many, as have been my satisfactions . The new and renewed friendships-the many laughs-the inspiring moments-pleasant surprises-unl imited cooperations, prompt me to thank you for the great privilege of serving you. May the incoming President inherit a s rich a fortune!

Very gratefully yours, ANN GRADY FLEMING Mrs. John F. Fleming

The train ride down the island of Honshu brought me through picturesque villages of houses thatched with straw. In every conceivable spot were green paddy fields laid out with perfect orderliness, and alive with peasants wading, knee deep, transplanting the tender rice plants. Scarecrows, of every variation of scariness and of originality, were omnipresent. '''Ie wound through groves of g iant trees under bluest of skies, in sight always of the rugged mountain ranges. Shrines, both Shinto and Buddhist. their location marked by long lane of torii , became almost too numerous to count.

Occasionally an old feudal castle loomed up on a ll1? l1l1tain side, a great square mass of stone and plaster, with narrow, white-barred windows and tiers of curvino

roofs, arti stically zigzagging in such a manner that a~ object thrown from any corner would find an unob­structed path to the g round . On the top a bronze fish shone rich and dark in the sunshine. Below at the base o f the pine-topped dikes slept in quietude and darkness tl.le water of the moat-called "the b~ttomless" by 'Imple-hearted people-whose clear waters reflected the six-sided stones of the " tortoise back" well.

Little is left of the orig inal feudal picture except the lofty shell of the castle and the dikes that once formed a protection from flying arrows and shooting :; pea.rs. and now are only hilly. peaceful vegetable con­cessions for needy and ambitious families from the nearby municipality. The once beautiful aardens of noble retainers whose man sions were about the outer wall are cru 'hed into hundreds of plain, little farms .

My destination was a prefectural center, before the war.a thriving city, now an irregular, unplanned group of tll1y. drah homes set between stores which are no more than rickety stands, the best available since the bombin u . \vh~n I . Ief t the train area bicycles appeared from eyery dl.rectlOn; handcarts with multiple wares for sale: heavily loaded trucks, man-drawn. One bus almost filled the narrow. treet and forced me to jump

over the open street sewer to a point of safety, since sidewalks were lIo-where visible. I was confused bv the mass of autos honking incessantly and uselessly'; by speeding buses; by throngs of pedestrians clattering .along on wooden getas.

With the help of a few previously prepared ques­tions I found my way to the home of the lady of my quest, an ordinary home, with no windows, seemingly no doors: a low, one-story, one-room building made of sun-dried mud, and topped by a sloping tiled roof. A wall in partitions, of rice paper spread over a slender wooden framework, slid back in answer to my knock and revealed one larg e room covered with soft, smooth tatami mats, but with no furniture visible. The toko­noma-a niche for the tablets bearing ancestral names, a flo wer arrangement, and a seasonal scroll-alone re­~ieved the bareness of the room. The ab ence of lacquer, II1cense, and the statue of Buddha, assured me that I wa~ el:tering a Shinto household, where the family shrine IS always severely plain .

In this typical home of the simple poor I saw for the first time Japanasan, carrying her eighty years with all the dignity of her Samurai forebears; a la mode in a mft kimono of purpli sh gray silk crepe with an old-fashioned damask pattern in the weave, and a doubl~ ~ollyhock leaf design embroidered scatteringly over It 111 gold and sil ver thread. and girdled in a dark blue obi with an arabesque pattern woven into it in lightly tinted gold thread. . No hostess could have received me with more truly Innate refi nement and courtesy. Repressed emotion drilled in to the mind and life of every Japanese child ' was evident in her stately, profound bow. It was not only the bending of the body. It was the reverence of the n:ind and heart that made 'the long, low ceremonial gree~lI1g so impressive. t once she placed so ft silk cushions of gay colors for m)' comfort in that chairless room.

I was unprepar~d for the excellent E nglish of my hostess who, 111 traditional Japane e fashion, commented fi rst on the season, and then expressed the correct wi hes for my health and happiness.

\ \ hen I commented on her faultless E ngli sh I started the eager fl ow of her explanation of such an acquisition: " In the middle of the last century, after Commodore Perry opened up \Vestern communications to Japan , education here received its g reatest impetus. The women of the Samurai had been schooled in the militaristic to the neglect of the cultural. U nder the Shogu.nate tl~e scl:ool system of Japan was revised. The Jmpe:lal UnnTerslty of Tokyo became the criterion and the director of an enlarged plan of education.

HI was fortuna~e to live at that time when by degrees there were established elementary, secondary, and high

schools comparable to those in France. When the foundress of Tsuda College returned to Japan with a degree from Bryn Mawr College, English became a required course in the Japanese schools. In fact today Japan ranks third, after Great Britain and the U nited States, in the number of people speaking the English language."

"You married after your secondary school educa­tion?" I queried. To my request for information about hetrothal and marriage in J apan I received thi s fas­ci nating account: Marriage in Japan is a matter of arrangement by parents between t.wo families of similar social class. A chance meeting between the two prin­cipals is arranged by the "go-between." After their feelings are sounded, if no objections are expressed, further negotiations are undertaken . Such care is ob­served so that in case ei ther side objects, the engage­ment can be canceled before it is made public, and neither fami ly loses face.

The marriage arrangements by the go-between in­volve investigations of delicate matters of family his­tory, uch as leprosy, tuberculosis, and police records. J f all goes well. the betrothal follows. This is a formal and binding ceremony. In olden times it was considered as sacred as marriage itself. On the betrothal day the go-between brings to the home of the bride a white table with a square of crepe on which is embroidered the bride's new crest. that of her husband's family . ft is the engagement gift from his parents. Other gifts are offered, particularly a pair of folding fans, symbolic o f widening happine~ s .

The bride then prepares an extensive trousseau, at the same time that she hurries up her domestic training. Three days before the wedding her bridal chests and her bedding are sent to the home of the groom, for a bride enters the family of her husband and becomes a child of that house. vVhen , however, there is no son in the bride's home the husband is adopted into that hou 'e as the rightful son and heir to the family name and property . Then he takes the family name of hi s wife and they live in the bride's home.

O n the wedding day the bride" eyebrows are re-1l1u\·ed. Her hair is dressed high, in married style, with ornaments of tortoise shell and coral. A thick white powder is put on her face and neck. Then she is dres oed ill a robe and sash of white.-death color in .I apan,-because for her. the marriage ceremony means that she dies to the family of her father. Beneath is a garment of scarlet.- the dress of the new-born babe,­typical of her birth into a new family.

Then at the fami ly shrine she says a long farewell to the spi rits of her ancestors. Her mother gives to her a mirror case, such as all Japanese ladies carry with ceremonial dress. Inside are a mirror and a long si lver hairpin- in olden day a dagger . The mother says : ''Look into this mirror every day. for if scars of sel­fi shness or pride are in the heart they will grow into the lines of the face. Be strong like the pine; yield in gentle obedience like the swaying bamboo; and yet,

like the fragrant plum which blossoms beneath the snow. never 10 e the gentle perseverance of loyal womanhood."

Then the solemn wedding procession is formed . Servants, <Yo-between, and relatives precede the bride who is borne in a palanquin. When she arrives at the home of the groom a little window in the front opens, and he strikes the top of the palanquin with a fan which means \Velcome!

The wedding vows are made in an empty, white­wooded room. This is done by a formal exchange of sake ( rice wine ), between immediate relatives, the go-between, and the bride and groom. It is called san­san-kudo. or 3-3-9-times ceremony. It consists in drinking three sips of sake from each of three tra­ditional cups of varying sizes. It is the outward and visible sign of the completion of the marriage, com­parable to the giving of the wedding ring in the West.

During the reception and banquet which follows, the poor little bride sits with her head bent over her plate. Etiquette forbids her to eat. During the wedding banquet she kaves the room three times to change her dress . This implies that she is willing to serve the ancestral gods of her new family; that she accepts the responsibilities of her new Ii fe; and that she is prepared to work for her husband.

F rom that day the bride and groom make no de­cisions by themselves. Everything is referred to a family council. The bride spends many hours a day at household duties and in the rice fields with water up to her knees. Even when an heir is born she is not released from such service. Baby goes to the fields, too, and weeps, or sleeps, or bobs up and down, strapped to mother's back.

To the Japanese woman such submission is no hard­ship. She has been trained for this all her life. She is enti rely unselfi sh ; exquisitely modest ; intelligent but not egotistical ; patient always in the hour of suf­fering. From earliest times Japanese girls were taught to repress their feelings, to indurate nerves, to handle weapons to guard against attacks on their safety or t l'~ir honor.

They were, and still are, taught fencing and similar exercises not only for physical development, but to be ready in time of need. At womanhood in times past, girl. were given dirks, so that when their chastity was menaced, they need not wait for their fathers ' dagger.

ccomplishments and the o-entler graces of Ii fe were al 'o required of the amurai women ; music, dancino-, and literature. Music was prescribed that they might regale the weary hours of the males; dancing to smooth the angularity of their own movements. Enough mu sic and dancing were required to add grace and brightness to Ii fe. never to foster vanity and extravagance. Do­me ticity governed their education. To maintain a proper h Oll ehold they slaved and drudged to the ultimate.

As daughter , girls sacrificed them selves for their fathers; , as wives for thei r hu bands; as mothers fo r

the;r children. Japanese woman's li fe is comparable to a Japanese man 's self-surrender to the good of hi s emperor and of hi s country. Self -ren unciation is the keynote o f the loyalty o f man and of the domesticity o f woman. nd 0 the newly married woman find nothing unexpected or extreme in her program. For that she was born; fo r that he made her wedding vow with their threefold implication of self-surrender.

lIfy hostes paused in our conver ation to honor me by the Tea eremony. he explained to me that. prepared by an elaborate 'ubj ective ritual , guests of old silently approached the room where thi s ceremony was to take place by way of a garden path designed to denote the path of self-illumination. T hen they bowed low. hav ing first removed their swords before entering the house where thi ceremony of peace would take place, and crept in to the room through a small door not more than three feet in height, to teach l1t1 -mility. (W hat a pity, I thought. that more o f the e si ncere people, who love humili ty, d;) not know and love Him Who came humbly to teach us humility.) The ho t would not enle,' until all hi guests were seated on cushions on the tatami , when quiet reigned, with nothing to break the ilence ave the song of the water boiling in the iron tea kettle.

The tea, J apanasan told me, is made and drunk in a preternaturally slow and fo rmal manner, each action. each gesture being fixed by an elaborate code o f rules. E very article CClnnected with the ceremony, such a the tea cani ·ter, the incense-burner. the scroll in the IOkonoma, and the vase o f fl owers is either handled or else admired at a distance in ways and with phrase which unalterable usaCTe prescribes. Even the hands are washed, the room i swept, a little bell is rung, and the guests walk from the house to the garden, and from the garden hack into the hou e at stated time and in a manne,' which never varies except a certain templ e schools obey slightly varying rules of their own. handed down from thei r ance tors.

Before the hostess is a large metal brazier over which water is heated. Before taking tea out of the lacq uer canister 'he dusts the treasured box with a piece of red silk . T hen she take hot water with a small bamboo dipper with a long handle, and stirs tea into the hot water with a fi nely shredded bamboo brush. l '..ach act ha a specially pre cribed movement of hand a nd finger.

No word i ' spoken through the entire ceremony . .-\ t the end tea a nd cake a re ser ved to each one present. after which the gue t turn the bowl around to admire it. In measured, prescribed words the ho tess is com­plimented upon the exqui site art of her bow and upon the delicious taste of her tea-of which one receive ' only about three sips.

This ceremony has been called perhaps the most stilted and preposterous bit of social ritual that hu­manity has ever devised. It is, however, a real art and an exquisite art. The making of the tea is a matter o f no consequence. The supremely important matter is that the art be performed in the most perfect, mo ·t

\ training in the Tea Ceremony is still held to be a tra inin IT in politene s, in self-control, in delicacy­a di cipline in deportment. I watched Japanasan go throuO'h the ceremony with regal fines e I realized that it i more than a ceremony, that it is a fine art ; that it i ' poet"y with articulate ge tures fo r rhy thm ; that it i a oul drscipline, 0 characteristic o f the de:cendant · 0 f the amurai.

he did not need to tell me more to convince me of the incolll parahle streng th and beauty of soul of eyery J apana~'an in that g reat country.

Potenti a ll y women in Japan are the dominant sex, IIlllnerically, economically. But they seem not to want leader hip. steeped as they are in the traditionalism and nationali sm which have held fa t to the inequality of the sexe , to the custom of looking down upon women. They a re not jealous of their power. They 'eell1 to be unmindful or is it indifferent to the new statu accorded to them by the Constitution of 1947? In their thinking they have not moved from the insularity of the past to a broader continent of the present.

They do not perceive the need o f an alert social sense. If their souls could but be awakened more efficaciously to moral justice, particularly in the social and political areas, they would be a strong influence for social and domestic betterment at this period of tran si tion.

If they could be made civic con cious, if they could be made to believe in a basic democratic freedom. not wholly in a factual sense. but in a li ving, practical way, they would be ready to particil ate in the democratic processes of their community. They would be pre­pared to do their part in stren O'thening their country in its postwar period. The challenge to all Japanese women is g reat.. They are Japan 's g reatest source of undeveloped potentiality.

A merican think that Japane e women hould ri se in revolt again t the prevailin O' attitude of men toward women. \\ ould it repay the loss of dispo ition and gentlenes ' o f man ner which are their present heri tage? \ \ ·e should remember that the 10 s of domesticit\· on the. part 0 f Roman matrons was followed b,· n'lOral corruption. Far be . uch a degradation from -the a(l-mirable mothers and daughters of ippon!

If we are tn~ly interested in their emancipation, let us pray that the g ift o f faith may be granted to more o f them. that the doctrine and precepts of Chri t take posses ion of their minds and hearts. Their g reatest afflicti on is not the oppres ion of traditionalism. but their ignorance of the one, true God. Mav the,· soon find Christ, and that g reatest o f women , - II/lar·,·. His ~Iother. -

Gelltle, self-effacing. long-sufferin cr women of Japan. whom I have learned to venerate, I salute YOII.

ARE COLLEGE TRAINED SECRETARIES NEEDED?

S treamlined for better business results . Senior Secretarial Science majors take tips from Miss McKenna as they tryout new equipm e nt.

I' ,\TRICIA lCC:\L'LEY '51 ( with the cooperation of SISTER AN E THERE E, .N.D.)

\ \" e fay emphatically. "Yes, they are needed, and the need is uecoming even greater."

r .est YOLI should feel that Ollr respon e is colored by uur pers~lnal interest in the subject, we point to the g- ruwth 0 f the Bu iness Department at Emmanuel. Had it not filled a definite nee I, thi war-time experi­Illen t would not have urvi ved the post-war years . Far from ha \'ing di sappeared, however. it is celebrating its tenth hirthday this year. It is no longer an infant, but a steadi l.' · and rapidly growing child, becoming stronger as nel\' students elect to major in ecretarial cience. /\s t he demand for intelligent, efficient ecretarie and ~" ten()graphers increase, we hall continue to provide ria . sroom training for girl seeking careers in the sec­retarial field.

For what career do we prepare our student ? The titles stcnographec secretary, and executive secretary come l() mind immediately. Perhaps fame of us are not aware of the great difference between the stenog­rapher and the secretary. The tenographer is u uall), a memher of a large group of stenographers, known as a stenographic pool, who are carefully supervi ed as to the a~signl1lent, transcription and completion of work. Altll( lI/-?"h a stenographer may be called upon for secretarial duties. there is in reality a long road between stenographer and secretary. The stenographer perform routine task : the secretary i a responsible and in:portant

part of the busine~s organization. From this position, she may rise to an administrative po t a a full-fledged executi ve.

We realize, of course, that it is virtually impossible to step di rectly frOI11 college into the position of ex­ecutive secretary. Just as a doctor must serve a period of internship before he becomes a pecialist in hi field so. too, must the ambitious secretary prepare her elf for her ultimate goaL The fir t step along the way is usuall y a stenographic position, where the technical skill she has learned in college are exerci ed and de­velol: ec1. Here. he O'ets a thorough grounding in the mechanics of the ecretarial field. As she work, she is gaitiing va:luable experience. The length of time l1eces~ary to obtain this experience is, of course, va­riable. The college graduate has a distinct advantage in this reg-ard. he can offer her employer her educa­tion and backoTound in lieu of many years of teno­gTaphic experience. Vie do not mean to imply that a college-tt-ained ecretary does not need any actual busines experience. It is true, however, that her in­tensive training ha's made her capable of bridO'ing the gap between stenographer and secretary after a mini­tllum period of apprenticeship.

\rVhat specific advantages does Emmanuel offer its prospective tlldents who intend to make bu iness a career? The breadth of this department is implicit in the title Secretarial Science. Included in this course are the hasic lIbject - horthand, typinO', reporting,

Page 5

transcription, business English - which develop the ab­olutely essential mechanical skills. It is axiomatic

that the successful stenographer must be a highly killed technician. It is equally true that the secretary

must be highly proficient in these same skill , although the secretary's work i not limited to the mere mechanics of taki ng dictation and transcribing notes. The secre­tary must make appointments for both her employer and herself - and ee that they are kept! She must arranCTe traveling chedule, make reservations, and obtain tickets. It is her responsibility to take care of the executive's checkbook; do hi s banking; handle securities and valuable papers; open, sor t and answer mai l: attend important conferences, and plan work for her-elf and her assi stant. The college-trained secretary, with her educational background, can adj ust herself more quickly to the performance of such varied duties.

The busines department of a liberal arts college is able to offer unique specialized training which would be pl-actically impossible in a straight business school. For example, the tudent who wishes to become a medi­cal ecretary may combine the regular secretarial course with cour e in the biology department. Actual field work in a ho pital or laboratory offers her further opportunity to acquire an understanding of the field in which she will be working.

Courses for studen t who are interested in becom­illg business teachers are also offered by the Business Department o f Emmanuel. Graduates of this course now teach in public and pri vate schools, business school and coll eCTe. The curriculum is a well-balanced com­bination of general education course, philo ophy, psychology. and the methods of teaching business sub­j ects, as well as the business subj ects themselves.

E mmanuel , in common with some one hundred other uni versities and college who offer cour es in business, follows the 40-40-20 plan et up by the A merican :\ ssociati on of Collegiate chool s of Busines . This means that forty per cent of a student's total hours must be devoted to cultural subj ects; busine s subj ects make up another forty per cent; the remaining twenty per cent may be divided between the cultural and busi­ness lIbj ects, accordinO" to the stlldent"s particular in­terests. Thi s adds up to a one hundred per cent trained and educated ecretary, worthy to hold the B.S. degree.

Alumnae who wi h to visit the Busines Department will find it located in the former Science vVing of the :\dmin istration Building . It house three classrooms and two ffi ce ·. There are two typewriting rooms. One is completely new. furni shed with sleek, O" ray, steel desks and posture chai rs. O n these steel desks are new gray R yal typewriter · with copy holders at the right of each machine. In another room are the comptometers, each neatly placed in it own desk, and the ediphone l11achines for those who wi sh to take the course offered in machine transcription. O ne office hold a library o f business books which are available to the students for reference or research work.

P age 6

The students in the business course are urged to become members of the Secretarial Science Club which meet monthly and sponsors proO"rams of interest to those majoring in busines. Through movie·, guest ·peakers. and the presentation of hort skits the girls

are led to take part in discu sions of the problem they may expect to face once they are actually "on the job."

Another important feature of the Business Depart­ment at Emmanuel i the opportuni ty which the stu­dents have to participate in the meetings of the Catholic Business Education Association. S ister Anne Then~se is Chairman of the orth East Unit of the e. B. E. T he students are welcome at the annual meetings which are held at the member colleges in and around Greater Boston . Here they are able to see what is going on in the field of busines education on the high school and college levels. Although they may attend these meetings as spectators, they frequently perform ushering duties, take charge of the registration of members, or par­ticipate in a model demonstration of ome particular phase of the bu iness education program.

The faculty consists of Sister Anne Therese, A.B .. M.B.A . ; S ister Patricia Louise, A.B., M.e.S.; Sister Agne Aloy e, LL.B., .B., M.e. .; Miss Margaret A. McKenna, B.S ., M .S.; and Mrs. Mary E. Farricy, M .Ed. M is Margaret McKenna is al so an instructor at S immons College.

The Business Department at Emmanuel offers the tudent a sound liberal art education, training in the

technical stenographic skills, and a background of phil­o ophy, psychology and ethics, so important in daily living. In brief , she receives a good, Catholic educa­tion, plus specialization in any of three fields: bu ine , medical secretarial , or business education .

On its tenth anniversary, we alute the Business Department with best wi shes fo r a happy birthday ­and many happy returns!

T he latest Graham Greene book, T he S hipwrecked , which is really an early one recently publi shed anew, adds nothing to hi s reputati on and will certainly not increase hi s audience. The book is interesting only to those who have a taste fo r studying the development of a writer. T he S hip'wrecked (publi shed originally under the title E lIgland Made M e ) belongs clearly to Greene's Brighton Roclt peri od and brings out with unmi stakable fo rce the amazing growth that has taken place in Greene's artistic development since Brighton Rorl~ . T he S hip'wrerh'ed is the story of a girl 's love for her worthless twin brother and while it deals wi th the 'ubtle web of human relationships for which Greene is noted it lacks the economy of words which gives his later work such power. H is ability to create in a single sentence Ot" telling phrase the atmosphere or character desired, so clearly demonstrated in Th e Labyrinthine IVa)" Th e H eart of th e M atter, and Th e End of th e Affair is utterly lacking in thi s book. Repetitious to the point of boredom, the book is boring in its pedes­trian belaboring of a point, and by the end of the first chapter you are already sick of Anthony and Anthony's great charm. This is definitely a disappointment to Greene enthusiasts unless they take it as a very sig­ni ficant step in the evolution of a writer. Those who clo not appreciate Greene anyway will pass it by, or if they do read it they might like it because it lacks most o f the qualiti es fo r which they have disapproved of hi s other works.

The E nO'lishman's sense of humor has been the butt of many a joke. As one story has it, if you want to make an E ngli shman laugh in his old age tell him a joke in hi s youth. I could name enough Englishmen of the past whose contribution to humor would refute that malign generalization, but fo r the moment will be con­tent with inviting you to meet S ir Arthur Grimble whose book Hi e Chose the J slands will certainly make you laugh out loud and long. For S ir A rthur very defi­nitely has a sense of humor; he can laugh at himself and invite you to join with him. Sir Arthur was for thirty-five years a member of the Briti sh Colonial Ser­"ice, beginning as a lowly cadet and ending as Governor o f the W indward I slands. This book covers his first six years of service in the Gilbert and E llice Islands, hi s first assignment which he undertook full of noble dreams ahout applying "qualities of leadership" to

Page 8

. nglo-Saxon "dominion over palm and pine and what­ever else happened to be far-flung," and accompanied by hi s brand new bride. T here are many hilariously funny incidents told against a fascinating background of native legend and island folklore skill fully blended into the lush colors and heady scents of South Seas Aora and fauna. On the more serious side Sir A rthur manages to describe the functioning of a protectorate without being boring and peppers everything wi th some Iy broadsides at the sometimes pompously effi cient

Briti sh Colonial Service.

A new biography by Lancelot Sheppard brings to our attention a little known fi gure of the 16th century whose work in the Church was monumental. Barbe Acarie, in the calendar of the Church Blessed Mary of the Incarnation, established the first F rench founda­tion of Carmelites in 1604, after a vision in which St. Teresa of Avila appeared to her . From that fir st F rench fo undation all the Carmelite convents in E ng­land were derived ; hence the interest in an E nglish Ii fe of "La Belle Acarie" as she was known it: Parisian society. T he accompli shment of het" mi ssion follows the familiar pattern of heroic virtue practised in the face of insuperable odds, of ill health and failure, of true humility in acknowledging personal nothingness, of human frailty supported only by potent spiritual re-erves. In one respect her story is different from that

o f mo t foundresses: Barbe Acarie did her work for God as a married woman , mother of six children. A fter her husband's death in 1613 she became a Car­melite lay sister ; four years later she was dead. Her mi ssion had been accompli shed in 1604, nine years be­fo re her religious profession.

One cannot help but admire such a woman, and wonder how she could have done what she did - a false attempt at self-justification if there ever was ont' for we know very well how she did it. But while she commands your intellectual respect and cold admiration she fail s to rouse your warm-hearted sympathy. \Vhether this is the failure o f the biographer, or the failure of the lay reader to fully appreciate such a woman , I do not know. I do know that my heart's sympathy ­and here I break the book reviewer 's first command­ment which enj oins obj ecti vity - went out to her hus­band, P ierre, who as the husband of a saint must have practiced a heroic virtue of hi s own.

~hank You ..... . To everyone in the alumnae who supported the Fashion Luncheon , especially the committee, alumn ae and

student model s, sponsors, and advertisers, whose wholehearted effort wa s responsible for our great success. It was a wonderful birthday party for the Alumnae Association , and the large attendance was a fine

tribute to outstanding alumnae, Mary Guyton and Marion Hogan , who received citations.

Special t han ks is due the classes who responded by usi ng our program as a vehicle to convey their felicitations to the Association on its thirtieth anniversary. A colored movie and a recording of the affa ir was presented to the college as a gift from the cla sse s of:

1923,1924,1 9 27 ,1 930, 19 31 , 1934,1 9 35,1937,1938, 1940, 1942, 1943 , 1944, 1947, 1952 .

The chairman is especially grateful to those who made early reservations, and were gracious about any

delay or inconvenience in seating on the day of the affair. The Sherato n Plaza is to be commended for its integrity in admitting the responsibil ity for the delay, and al so for se rv ing such del icious lunc heons to all­many of whom came without any reservations. They showed a real desire to continue our good will.

Our net profit includ ing the alumnae benefactors appearing on the program amounted t o ove r $2300. Miss Mary E. Harnett, Emmanuel '53 , who will be featured at Emmanuel Night at " Pops" on Thursday

evening, May 14, was guest pianist and delighted the audience with selections from Chopin.

CLASS OF 1949

Thanks to Frannie McCarthy - for the idea, - to Pat Smith - for .mak­ing up the "Personal Data Sheet"­and to the great success of the Class Luncheon - which made it possible to reach so many of you , - I hope t o get back into the good graces of the class after the dearth of information on t he Forty-Niners, in the last issue of Logos.

The cla ss as a whole, considering the 60 odd returns collected at the Luncheon as representative, is pretty evenly divided between "marrieds," "about to be," and "not yet su c­cumbed."

Among those permanently settled down, Ellie Higgins McDonough ap­parently takes the prize for the most little feet pattering around the house, 6, - 3 pairs, that is. Joan Martin Arsenault, Marilyn McCarthy Power, Bunny Courtney Hixon and Mrs. Rob­ert Gildea all have 2 to whom they're telling bedtime stories.

Included in those with only one to spoil are Mary Esther Blackett Stockard, Sylvia Morrissey Yunits, Joan Haire Quinn, Marie Hughes Mayne, Rose.m.ary Larkin Tredeau, Terry Fergus McNamara, Marie Lynch O'Connell, Peggy Regan Cronin, Louise Daly Kiley, Millie Hoar Serena, Claire Short Thibeau, Mary T . Murphy Landergan, and Alice Kane Baranick. Needless to say, the above all list their occupa­tion as "at home."

Barbara High Coughlin and Dotty Shea Hogan both have good back­grounds for marriage - a master's degree from the Boston College School of Social Work, in 1951.

Among the "marrieds," some of these might not have been listed be­fore: Kay Fenton Kelleher, Eileen Flynn Diverio, Rosalie Reed Kiely, Joan Brennan Goodwin, Mary Boodro O'Malley, Mary Logue Snyder, Eunice Welch Connors, Phyllis Hannaway Parks, Mary Alice Murphy Kelley, Joan Dallahan Bittetti, Patty Carr p,.-cNamara, Mary O'Donnell Howard, Jeanne McCarthy Bryant, and Gene­vieve Barretta Sweeny.

Not a few of the class have mar­ried and moved to greener pastures. We've had word on Eleanor DiCecca Sheehan in Washington, D. C., Lydia Crowley Kent and Ann Levis Shedd, both in San Francisco, Betty Ann Downey Gillis - who has chosen the g reenest pasture of all, Ft. Knox, Ky. -Liz Henchey Stenger in Cincinnati and Regina O'Donnell Fraser, right near Liz, in Ohio. If you have any more information on any of these girls or any others who are no longer

in Massachusetts, please send it along to me, for we'd all like to know what is happening to our transplants.

It seems to be a not uncommon habit for Forty-Niners to leave town. There must be quite a colony in New York by this t ime. The most recent addition, as most of you at the lunche on will recall, was Anne Mc­Hugh , who was married on Valen­tines Day to Warren J. Fay of Hollis, Long Island.· Anne plans to make New York City her permanent ad­dress, too . With all these marrieds there are still quite a few left un­hooked. However among those prom­ised are Kay Bolger, engaged to John Gander and planning on settling down in Albany, Barbara O'Connor, en­gaged to E. William Burrell, Frannie . McCarthy to J . Frank Harrison, Joan FitzGerald to Donald J. O'Hara, Marie McArdle to Paul R. Harrigan - and, for you Sunday drivers with no place to go, there's a little house in Scituate in Marie's crystal ball, complete with picket fence and everything - Jean McDonald to James Powers, Regina Gannon to James White, Nancy Shea to James F. Hughes, Madeleine Gar­rity to Dick Power, and Alyce Gilligan to Charles E. Gallagher.

There are still so me of us holding the line against matrimony. Barbara DeLue is working as a lab technician , Louise Collins is going full time to B. C. School of Social Work. Louise Cawley is with the telephone company in Lowell. Ann Cdnlon is doing medi­cal social work - another B. C. master. Pat Gormley is being groomed as successor to' Charles E. Wilson with t he General Electric Co. Marie Mersch is busily occupied as a sec­retary and Jean Dowd is doing rec­reation work for the New England Council. Ginny Pashby is a service rep . - the voice with a smile - for the Lynn branch of the Bell System. Librarians, with a finger to their lips, are Betty Walsh and Phyllis Moore. The latest count on teachers includes Mary Keefe at Dracut High School, Mary Kelley, in Rhode Island, Jean Millard, Mary McClellan, Betty Wall, Pat Smith, Ginny McCoy, Claire Rogers, Margie Doherty, Dot Mc­Quade, Barbara Breslow, Dorothy Martinelle, Maggie McNiff, and two more converts from the business world, Pat Whalen and Regina Gan­non, teaching side by side on the third floor of Boston's oldest school. Keep the career banner waving high, girls, whether your out competing in "a man's world," or a "child's world," as the case may be.

Having chosen the better part, Monica Cotter has entered t he Mon­astery of St. Clare-popularly known as the Poor Clares-in Jamaica Plain. All our prayer s and best wishes are certainly with you, Monica.

A word of congratulati ons should surely be extended to Alba and her class officers and committee who all worked so hard to prove that the class is a long way from defunct with the more than su ccessfu l lunch~ e on. And , if you 're looking for some­one to thank for the entertainment, t he Rodgers and Hammerstein of the afternoon was Ginny Donehue, and those were Therese Langelier's spar­kling fingers providing the profes­sional touch to the piano.

Joining the ranks of Emmanuel alumnae brides-elect are several members of the class of 1952.

April is the month chosen by Madeline Grady and Janet Cull for their weddings, and Joanne Ryan is making plans for a summer wed­ding. Fran Gorton's future plans re­veal a Navy wedding to take place in June. Among other June Brides will be Mary Donoghue who will be­come the bride of William Manley June 20. Mary's bridesmaids will in­clude classmates Regina Sullivan, Ginny Farrell, and Anne Fitzgerald.

During the Christmas holidays the parents of Anne Fitzgerald announced her engagement to J oseph MacDonald of Quincy. Anne and J oe are plan­ning an October wedding.

The engagement of Dolores Ago to Lt. David Walsh, U. S. A ., was re­vealed at Christmas time and that of Carol Doane and Lt. J ames Calla­han, U. S. M. C.

News has also reached me that Joanne Lye and Peggy Brawley have
