The President's Message LEST WE FORGET

In such times as these, when vari­ous circumstances contribute toward keeping many of us apart, as your president, I more than welcome this means of sending my g reetings and sincere wishes to every Alumna. I hope you can be with us on different occasions throughout the year, but if that is impossible, let us bridge the miles in spirit and in friendly thought. The other officers and members of the board join me in saying that we shall do our best to fulfill the responsibilities we have assumed, and with your co-opera­tion to inspire us, we hope to make continued progress as time goes on.

What a consolation it is to us as Catholics, in the midst of this ter­rible chaos of war and its attending discomforts, sacrifices, and even heartbreak, that we have our Faith to lift us up above the quagmire of earthly destruction and to lead us on to hope nternal. Let us be ever

grateful for this divine gift, and let us show that gratitude whenever pos­sible.

Our loyalty to our Alma Mater is one expression of that gratitude. We should be loyal to her teachings and to her confidence in us. We should also put our trust in her ability to carryon her splendid work in future years. We have that trust in her, that belief in her ideals, and that gratitude, I am sure, but now is a golden opportunity to put thoughts into acti<m. Our Alma Mater is looking forward to her Jubilee. Let each one of us draw closer to her during this coming year so that her anniversary may be a most happy one, for her and for us. In our union there will be strength, mater­ial and spiritual. But, better still, our gesture of loyalty will bespeak our gratitude, not only to our col­lege but to our God - the great Emmanuel.

Alice M. Johnson.

25th ANNIVERSARY DRIVE Dear Alumnae:

When the first letter was ad­dressed to you, telling of the coming Silver Jubilee of Emmanuel, such an event looked far, far away.

This September, Alma Mater wel­comed her 25th class of Freshmen,­a class of 180 girls, all bearing rep­resentative qualities of keen, zealous, buoyant, happy, Christian young womanhood. When in 1919 Alma Mater welcomed her first students, 26 in number, her joy was no mere, no less than she showered on these Freshmen of 1943. Her maternal love was and is broad enough for all, but her anxiety for their welfare takes on an added serious tone. How

EDITORIAL Post-war planning is one of the

favorite occupations of the day. The proposed plans are many and varied; some are sound, others, patently ab­surd or impracticable. As the dis­cussions continue, however, two things grow increasingly clearer; the new world must be built upon the Chrjstian ideals and principles which alone can provide a permanent foun­dation, and it must have trained workers. who can translate into real­ity . the visions of the scientists.

Emmanuel Alumnae will contrib­ute. to the realization of this new world . in their various capacities as individuals. We have, as a group, another opportunity, in fact a duty, to contribute further. At this time, the construc"ion of a new science building is not merely the laudable expansion of the size and facilities of the college that it might be in peace time; it is a very real and definite contribution to the war effort and to the post-war world. When we promote science we help humanity.

No, she. welcomes them; she looks ahead; she . plans their future. If the home is too small, she . seeks another or enlarges the one at hand. As the children grow, she relies on the elder ones to help with the younger members. She trains the elder children to a spirit of family love and loyalty, to family ambition for the good of all. These elder chil­dren rise to meet their responsibili­ties, - to give to their younger sisters all the advantages they en­joyed and yes, - even more advan­tages if necessary - when the times are strenuous and the challenge to home life and Catholic education great.

like the earthly mother, calls on her elder children to help with the younger ones.

This is her call to you - daugh­ters of Alma Mater - graduates of Emmanuel.

You know the aim of the Alumnae Association, through the Drive Com­mittee is to offer to the President and the Faculty of Emmanuel Col­lege, a Silver Jubilee gift of $100,000. The first $25,000 of this sum is to be rais ed by the gift of War Bonds or Albums of War Stamps; the second $25,000 to be rais~d through Bridges or other forms of entertain­ment. The remaining $50,000, we trust will be raised through gifts and bequests.

Let us all, let each one of us ask herself: Is my Bond in? Have I helped my Government and my Alumn~e Association in the purchase of Bonds and Stamps? Send a Bond of any letter, or an album or albums of Stamps tp The 25th Anniversary Drive Oommittee. Then ask: Have I had some kind of get-together, bridge, movies, roller-skating, tea -to interest a group of friends in our project? If you can have a party

many offices she has held during her college days, and since leaving Alma Mater's portals. We remember her as Alumnae Treasurer for the years 1941-43, and as business manager of the NEWS, and chairman of our Alumnae Communion Breakfast in 1943.

Having obtained her A. B. in 1929, Alice pursued further learning at Boston College, where she was graduated with the degree of Ed. M. in 1934. She has been teaching Latin and English in the Western Junior High School in Somerville, where she has been treasurer of the P. T. A. for several years, as well as clerk of the Somerville Teachers' Club Scholarship Fund, Inc.

In these days of shortages, and of other difficulties, a President must possess courage, understanding, and tact. We find all these requisites, coupled with a delightful sense of humor and a gracious personality, in our new President.

So, a toast to you, Alice. Emman­uel Alumnae salute you, and pledge anew their loyalty.
