REUNION OCTOBER 23 Summer Functions

Attracted Alumnae Banquet, Dance

and Lawn Party Acknowledgments

To Margaret Mackin, ' 36, to Eleanor Sullivan, ' 34, to Alice Hackett, ' 27, and to Elizabeth Logan, ' 23 , the Alumnae Association extends its congratulations and gratitude for successful Banquet, Dance, and Lawn Party_

The Alumnae Banquet was held at the Hotel Touraine on June 4, Mar­garet Mackin, '36, directing. Mrs_ Charles F . Hurley, wife of our Gover­nor, attended as guest speaker. Pinch­hitting for His Excellency, who was unable to attend, Major John M . Whouley, guard of Mrs. Hurley, amused the guests with numerous side­splitting anecdotes. Helen Cox Mc­Carthy, ' 33, was toastmistress, and the musical program was given by Margaret O'Connell, ' 32, soprano, and Gertrude Larkin, ' 36, pianist. Toasts were given by Mary Butler, '25 to '23; Rosella Kenney Donlan, '26 to '28; Anastasia Kirby, ' 35 to ' 33; and Eleanor Elcock, '36 to '38. Katherine Connell, ' 28, President of the Alumnae, addressed the guests and welcomed the Class of ' 38 into the Alumnae Association.

Eleanor Sullivan, ' 34, stunningly gowned in white chiffon and maribou cape graciously greeted many couples as they arrived at the Parker House Roof on the evening of June 10 for the Alumnae Dance. Among the no­tables attending were His Honor Maurice J. T obin, Mayor of Boston, and M rs. Tobin .

Something different in the way of Alumnae activities was the Lawn Party directed by Alice Hackett, ' 27, on the rolling green lawn of Elizabeth Logan's Cohasset estate, "The Ridges," on July 17. Bridge tables were set cozily in the shade of trees, forming a semi­circle very attractive to passing motor­ists. Large tables heaped with cool punch bowls and attractive plates of de· licious little cakes awaited the guests on the verandas. Ushers from the Class of '38 helped to give out prizes, col-

lected money for the Bridge, ·and sold chances on the ten one dollar bills which they carried ingeniously strung on pretty colored ribbons attached to an old-fa shioned bouquet. The lucky winner was Dr. Mary Moore Beatty, mother of a new Emmanuel sophomore.

Proceeds of the party are to go towards support of the Appointment Bureau.

Glimpsed on the lawn were: Alice Hackett, in chartreuse crepe wi th hat to match; her sister Mary in black and white; Agnes Collins, in red and whife print; Catherine Grant,. a vision in white; Anne Dargin Fontaine in sum­mery print. Eleanor and Mary Groden in summer pastels, drove over from Green Harbor to attend, and Katharine Connell, in black and white, always a stunning combination.

Evidence Guild Meets Intown to Accommodate

Greater Numbers The Alumnae Evidence Guild lec­

tures in evidences and social sciences were resumed on September 27. !lem­bers of the Guild are again privileged to have as lecturer the Reverend Wil­limn McGarry, S.J., Presiden t of Bos­ton College.

Miss Beatrice Hantz, '23, presiden t of the Guild, announces that hence­forth meetings will be held every Tues­day evening at 8: 15 in the Large Room of Boston College Law School on the second floor of the ew England Power Building at 441 Stuart Street, Boston. Both the hour and place of meeting have been changed to meet the con­venience of greater numbers of alum­nae, many of whose working hours made it impossible for them to attend previous lectures.

All alumnae are invited to attend the lectures as auditors. For those who are more seriously in teres ted there is a vVorkers Group consisting of those wh o will eventually embark upon an active writing and lecturing program.

At a recent general council of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Sis­ter Julie was elected one of the four councilors of the mother general.

FRESHMAN CLASS OF 165 ENROLLED

Approximately one hundred and sixty-fi ve freshmen enrolled at Em­manuel during Freshman Week, Sep­tember 12-16, making this the largest class in the history of the college. Freshman W eek activities included the usual orientation lectures, parties, and reunions.

A staircase on the convent side has been opened to the use of the student body_ The seats in the Assembly Hall have been rearranged to accommodate greater numbers, and two handsome new water bubblers have been installed on the lower floor.

"JUST RABIN' TO GO" This is the time of year when good friends get together.

when everyone is back in town, as it were, and "just rarin ' to go." So, LET'S go! Let's go to the Alumnae meet· ing on October 23 . Let's go to the Lecture on December 4. Let' s go to the Dance on Thank giving E\·e. There will be class meetings, weddings, and showers in between. Let's go to those, too. Let's just go everywhere that the Alumnae Association bids us. There will be fun for every· one. If you're a school teacher the Dance will limber you up and give you a natural look. If you're undecided, the Lecture might help you to fin d yourself. And if you've got a good job, or maybc a new onc, YOll can tell your friends all about it, and how wondcrful the new boss is, at th e October meeting. You really cannot lose!

HE FIGHTS THE GOOD FIGHT As time goes on and the nations of Europe become more

deeply embroiled in situations which spell War it becomes more apparent to the entire thinking world that His Holi­ness, Pope Pius XI has been spared to us this long time in spite of crucial illnesses, to throw his holy influence against thc little Caesars who interfere with the things that are God's. Writing in the Vatican paper on totali· tarian states, when the Czech crisis was at its peak, His Holiness said : " One might sum up this theory ( totalitarian ) with brutal simplicity : all for the state and nothing for the individual."

As Americans we can accept these words as bearing out the fundamental principles of our government wnich safeguards the freedom and liberty of the individual. As Catholics we feel a deeper thrill at the thought tha t this freedom and liberty to \\'hich we cling so tenaciously was Tooted not in the Declaration of Independence, not in the Constitution of the Uni ted States, but in the charter o f the Catholic Maryland colony founded in 1634 under the governorship of Leonard Calvert.

A PUBUC ACT OF FAITH More than five thousand people, among them many

non-Catholics, jammed the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, on Washington Street, Roxbury, on F riday evening, September 16, to honor Mary, the Mother of G od, at the opening services of the Perpetual Novena to O ur Sorrowful M other. Inaugurating the Novena in the Boston Archdiocese was its guiding spirit, Reverend James R . Keane, O.S.M . T his Novena, which has brought countless blessings to millions of people all over the country, continues at the Boston Cathedral each Friday evening at five-thirty and at eight-thirty. In a message to Father Keane, His Emi· nence William Cardinal O 'Connell, Archbishop of Boston,

EMMANUEL ALUMNAE NEWS

said : "Mayall our good people, feeling the need of spiritual comfort in these trying days, find in the Mother of Sorrows, one who, having known the deepest grief, sympathizes with all who suffer. "

In an age of empty isms it is indeed encouraging to witness so tremendous a public demonstration of faith in the only ism that saves.

ALUMNA AT I. F. C. A. CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND, OHIO

Miss Mary J. McCarthy, '34, attended the thirteenth Biennial Convention of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae at Cleveland, Ohio, from August 24 to August 28. Mary was very deeply impressed by the numerous and varied reports and activities featured at the Convention. Although Emmanuel has but recently become affiliated with the 1. F . C . A., the Emmanuel ban­ner was very prominently displayed in the Convention rooms.

The Convention opened on August 24 with Mass cele­brated at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. At the meetings and conferences that followed many distin· guished speakers addressed the delegates. Among them were the Right Reverend Fulton J. Sheen, the Right Reverend Monsignor Michael Ready, General Secretary of the National Catholic Welfare Council, Most Reverend Joseph Schrembs, S.T.D., Bishop of Cleveland, and Right Reverend Monsignor Joseph M . Corrigan, S.T .D ., Rector of the Catholic University of America, and Honorary President of the 1. F. C. A.

Reports were given of the work of the four major departments of the 1. F. C . A., Education, Literature, Social Service, and Motion Pictures. The report on mo­tion pictures was particularly interesting. Approximately 2,940 motion pictures were reviewed by the department in two years with only a " negligible" number of com­plaints on moral grounds.

The Federation, founded in 19 14, has a membership of fi ve hundred and twenty alumnae associations with an enrollment of approximately one hundred thousand gradu­ates. It was founded with the intention of bringing into comm unication the various Catholic alumnae associations for the purpose of upholding the ideals of Catholic wom­anhood and of extending Catholic education, Catholic li tc rature, and Catholic social servicc.

Portrait Nwnber Two

Mary V. McDermott, '34

Registered Medical T echnologist. Sounds big, and important, doesn't it? It is big and important, just the kind of thing Emmanuel graduates do best.

Mary V . McDermott was one of those amazing people who majored Chemistry and Mathematics. After graduating from Emmanuel in 1934 she took the first year medical course at Boston University M edical School. Her studies there included gross an· atomy, histology, embryology, neural anatomy, physiology, and Biochemistry. Since then she has been working as Registered 1edical T echnologist, for Doctor V/ illiam A. Hinton who has charge of the New England Medical Unit which includes the Boston Dis· pensary, the Boston Floating Hospital, and the Pratt Diagnostic Hospital. Dr. Hinton's organization is chiefly a chari· table one and patients pay according to their earnings.

Mary'S work consists chiefly of super­vision of students taking an eighteen month course for technicians. There are about two new students each month . T hey usually start in the Urine Laboratory of which Mary is in charge, and remain there for th ree months. The students preceding them in the department teach them the work and Mary checks and supervises. She also

Mary V. McDermott

has charge of the Basal ~ Ietabolism tes t and supen 'ises the work of three students. T hey do fi ve tests a morning. Another department which Mary super· vises is Blood typing and cross match· ing. She teaches the students in this department, which is their last. In th is department Mary does all of the actual work herself as ~ost of it is emergency and it would take too long to check and supervise a student. T here are about four transfusions a week for which she does all the Blood typing and cross matching.

During \'acations or staff illnesses ~ fary takes charge of the Chemistry de· partment where the Blood Chemistry is done, and also of the T issue Laboratory

where tissues such as biopsies, growths, and cuttings from operations are pre­pared for imbedding in paraffin , im­bedded, cut, and stained, to be exam­ined by the Pathologist.

On Wednesday nights Mary is in charge of five clinics: Medical, Genito­Urinary, Gynecological, Skin, and Food. T he patients are sent to the Laboratory from these di fferent clinics for blood test .

Her daily work, then, is spent be­tween the Basal Metabolism Room and Urine Laboratory in the mornings, and between the Urine Laboratory and Bacteriology in the afternoons, wi"th clinic duty on 'Wednesday nights.

IIeavy and serious as her work to reo lie\'e suffering mankind may be, trust ~ Jary to find the laughs between Lab· oratorie. She can relate endless anec· do tes, a few of which we shall repeat for you here.

" Each year," says Mary, "we have open house for those who are in terested in contributing to our cause, and as a result we have. qui te an in fl ux of JUhior Leaguers and Vincent Clubites with their indulgent mothers. Our exhibit included a slide wi th cancer cells from our pathology department. T he slide \\'as placed on a microscope and labeled cancer cell .

T he summer vacation just past has served many purposes for Emmanuel students. T here were a number of stu­dents who felt they would like to have some practical experience in the field of their occupational interest. T hey were eager to discover whether in practice they were well adapted to the type of work they felt they would like to do after their college years had come to an end. Any student with such a desire was invited to come to the Appointment Bureau, through which arrangements could be made for them to work during the summer as apprentices in the field of their interest. Many social service organizations, hos­pitals, laboratories and other agencies have given generous cooperation in taking Emmanuel students as appren­tices for specified periods during the summer. T he range of interest on the part of students applying to the Ap­pointmen t Bureau for such apprentice cxperience was very wide. •

Of those preparing to be laboratory technicians, fourteen felt the need of practical experience in a laboratory. T hey have been accepted in the lab· oratories at Boston City Hospital, Carney Hospital , \ Vorcester City Hos· pital , Malden Hospital and a number of doctors' office with laboratory fa· ci lities.

Approximately twenty·five wanted experience in a variety of other fields. Some felt they would like to prepare for the work of a librarian, but wanted to know more about a librarian's duties. Opportunity was found for them in four nearby libraries. Several wanted secretarial practice and were placed in offices of various agencies. Five of those who were preparing to teach were en· abled to do teaching under supervision

Girl Scout or Camp Fire work; still others intere ted in \\'ork with children in several spheres, who desired a chance to acquire skill in managing youngsters. From th is brief survey it can be seen that a variety of interests were made manifest by the students of Emmanuel who through their apprentice training had a chance to test the strength and \'alidity of their interest.

In addition to the group who ac· quired valuable experience and train­ing through apprenticeships, there were a number who needed summer jobs to help defray their college expenses. Ap· proximately forty girls were enabled to secure the necessary work. Most of the summer jobs filled by students were as governesses and nursemaids, as waitresses, cash iers and hostesses at sum-

claim ed with obvious delight, 'Why, how wonderful! Do look in, Bunny, and see a cancer cell.' The daughter looked and she in turn exclaimed. Then arm in arm they both moved to the next exhibit. Meanwhile a doctor who had watched the whole perform­ance stepped over to the microscope, looked blank for a moment, and then snapped on the light, remarking that those ladies were even more remark­able than the slide since they could see in the dark.

"Patients are supposed to present lit­tle pink slips for admission to the par­ticular test they are to have. One morn­ing a patient appeared and the girl at the desk asked if she had a pink slip. Immediately the woman raised her dress to her waist."

There are more of these anecdotes, but we haven't space.

In the Epilogue of 1934 Mary's bi­ography begins: " vVhether doing a Chemistry experiment, solving a math problem, explaining a biological theory, or preparing a Physics report, Mary is efficient and capable." Prophetic words, those, indicative of what she was to achieve in later years. Evidently her efficiency and capabilities have in· creased or she could not have reached so eminent and unusual a position in three short years. T o parody a popular song hit, " Little Maid, you've had a busy day."

mer hotels and tea rooms, and in con­cession stands at various resorts.

Many of the girls who have spent all or a portion of their summer in ap­prenticeships or summer jobs have found their experience a helpful one. In accepting responsibility in the work assigned to them they have had a chance to prove themselves in a situ­ation of interest to them. The training rec~ived in such instances has been and will be of great value to them as individuals now and as potential work· ers in the field for which they are preparing upon completion of their college courses.

It seems probable that each year will see an increase in ~he range of interests amongst students at Em­manuel and in the desire to test such interest by wise investigation. En· couragement and assistance in prepar­ing students for a field of occupational activity may be given \vith great benefi t to the students through a broadened program of summer opportuni ties, such as was initiated during this fi rst summer of the Appointment Bureau's existence.

Director.
