c. U. Players Give Twelfth Night

The Catholic University Players will return to Emmanuel on Thursday afternoon to present anot her Shakespearean fa­vorite, Twelfth Night.

Professional Actors

The members of the cast, who double as stage hands, chauf­feurs, and wardrobe girls, are all graduates of the speech and drama department of the Cath· olic University, Washington, D. C. Their average age is 27 years. Each player has been selected for outstanding dra­matic ability. These actors are not would·be professionals, but actually are professionals, each one having five to ten years ex· perience on the stage.

Players Incorporated has tour· ed over thirty· seven states and Canada with presentations of Much Ado, Shaw's Arms and the Man. and Macbeth. For the 1952 season they have added to theIr repertoire The School for Wives, and Twelfth Night.

Concelved in 1940

Over two hundred perform· ances stand as the record of this group which first began in 1940. At that time Father Hartke con· ceived the idea of the traveling " players, and he and his group toured with their staging of Walter Kerr's God's Stage. The beginning of World War II cur­tailed development of the idea until 1949 when Father Hartke again launched plans for country· wide touring of the players. To· day the fifteen members of Play· ers Inc. transport themselves and their equipment in a sta~ion wagon and five passenger cars. The special effects which help to make the production of Players Inc. outstanding are achieved with a minimum of scenery, by skillful work with curtains and lighting.

Positive Proposition • • •

If seasons were to be classified in accordance with the emotion they prompt in most individuals, then the season of Lent would be generally synonymous with penance and with practices that negate pleasure. Is this t he ideal that Christ proposed?

Certainly when Our Lord t hrough His own example made positive activity the di:;tinguishing factor of a Christian life He did not intend that negation take precedence. Lent is more than a season in which to avoid evil-it is t he season for the practice of greater virtue.

The soul , seeking its ultimate end in beatitude, demands. more t han a passive avoidance of evil-virtue must be nur­t ured in the seat of each .uprooted vice. It is not merely a matter of skirting the woods but of ascending the mountain . Saint T herese of Lisieux often thought of her soul as an alate being, flying correspondingly more ~wi ftly toward Christ as she, in doing good, received a greater capacity for love. Her sane­t ity is a testal.llent to t he value of positive spiritual action.

Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, offers a new oppo~tunity for self-improvement. The initial action of each day in Lent may be a positive one if placing yourself before H is altar every rnol'l1-mg you assist in offering the most perfect sacrifice.

Symbol of ,Maturity . . . The ring ceremony last week was indeed an impressive

one. As each junior looks down on the gold band circling her finger may the glance serve to remind her of the ring's significance as a symbol of intellectual and moral growth. May it remind her that Emmanuel is with her in every thought, word, and action to help her to live the Christian ideals of her Catholic college education. Down the years as each member of the class of '53 pursues her respective career, may her ring recall her promise to live the Catholic way of life.

E ssential A pirit '. • • During t he last three weeks, t he Athletic Association of

Emmanuel has undertaken a ' full-scale campaign' to increase membership in t he organization and attendance at its activities. To date the drive has been successful but more spirit is needed, not only in the A.A. but in many clubs on the campus. Col­lectively, college spiri t is strong and swells up at assembly: class days, aud dances, but t his enthusiasm is not evident in club circles.

Extra-curricular activitics , ShOlild be one of the most im­portant aspects of a college education.

Student Forum Dear Fellow Students :

Every girl on the campus ha::l been told that the main objective of the National Federation of Catholic College Students is the work of its various commissions. What a commission is and how it acts is still a vague concept to a great many of the student body. Perhaps an explanation of the way in which these com­missions function through our own campus organizations may help each student to re-estimate the value of NFCCS.

The work of the commissions is done quietly and thoroughly by a few members. Often the results are immeasurable. As an example of this fact, consider the Confraternity of Christi;m Doctrine. Only thirty girls a wee'k have spare periods in whir.h to teach catechism at the Mis­sion Church and the Cathedral. They spend part of their time teaching and part in preparing lessons and making prizes. Al­though this necessary work is neither glamorous nor well­known, because of it both teach­ers and pupils will have a greater love of God. '

The Catholic Action Commis­sion is working through three CA cells which meet at noon­time every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Rev. James Red­ding, moderator, has outlined their three-point program for the year_ Each weekly meeting aims to give students opportun­ities for self-improvement, a knowledge of the life of Christ, and a working knowledge of Catholic Action techniques. So­ciety makes demands upon every state of life ; it also demands much of the student.

M a.,ny of t he cO"1;mi !'l!linn !'l are motivated by a profound_ love of God and neighbor. The Inter­racial Justice Commission, whose seat in New England is at Holy Cross College, has many inter­ested followers at Emmanuel. The Discussion Club is devoting its program to the promotion of interracial justice. At present plans are being made for a panel on the subject, to be given by two speakers from Holy Cross and two speakers from Em-manuel. '

The Sodality is using a great deal of the material from the Liturgy Commission of Our Lady of the Elms College. Every stu­dent perhaps will receive some benefit from the prayers and ceremonies promoted by the So­dality with the aid of the Liturgy Commission.

At the present time Mary Har­nett and Ann Lally, Juniors, are striving to bring the work of two more commissions to our campus. Merrimac 'College is heading a new Social Welfare Commission which will attempt to make sociology majors in Catholic Colleges more aware of social legislation and their re­sponsibility as future social workers. The Social ServiCe Club is integrating the commis­sion's work into its own pro­gram. The Missions Commission at St. Michael's College in Ver­mont will assign each college in New England a deserving Mis­sion which is in need of help.

From the preceding examples it is obvious that NFCCS de­sires each college to hold one commission and to send out help for tqeir particular branch of Catholic Action to the affiliat.­ed colleges. Thus the fruits of the work done by the various commissions is shared with all colleges through this system of organization.

Sincerely yours, Elaine Corcoran, '53.

From the west coast of I reland to a :horse-trading camp in Georgia is a big jump, yet Three Wishes JOT Jamie makes the trip wit h dispatch, and a full measure of melody, comedy, and drama. This new musical comedy now playing at the Shubert is probably the only musical on record t hat opens with a wake. T he keening is loud and comical as the professional mourners wail the supposed drowning of Jamie McRuin. But his un­recovered body is very much in t he quick. His "death" gives him t he oppor tunity to slip away to America and join his uncle in Atlanta, where he knows the t hree wishes promised him by a fairy queen, Una, will come t rue.

His wishes are to travel, to marry t he girl he loves, and to have a son who speaks t he language and writes like a poet. H is fi rst is granted on t he t rip to America. His second is ful­filled in Georgia, where he finds t he beautiful girl he knew was waiting for him. But his luck seems to run out on the t hird wish, because the child they quickly adopt is a mute-however, the youngster soon proves he a lso knows how to wish.

The play is r ich in melodious love songs, beaut ifuIly sung, and is delightfully witty in a specia l Celtic way. The show is bogged down, however, by a plot capacious enough for t hree shovvs and too great for t hree wishes. It is also handicapped at times by comic acting t hat is desperately cute.

Abe Burrows, aut hor of Guys and D olls, adapted the script from the Christopher award-winning novel, Three Wishes j01'

Jamie McRuin by Charles O'Neal. George Jennings has cre­ated some lovely settings for the romant ic story. J ohn R aitt, the original lead in Cm-ousel, sings his .ramie with gusto and freedom.

Anne Jeffreys of I\.iss Me J\.ate fame plays t he girl of J amie's dreams-lovely to look at with a cool, sculptural beauty , and a delightfully lil t ing voice. Bert Wheeler is a type of Irish "Fixi t" who makes matches between t he couples who should be in luve. T here are t imes though when his manner suggests f~ P at-and-Mike joke.

A new comedienne has been discovered in Charlotte Roc, playing t he girl who will, in her realization that she is ugly, marry anyone who is single.

After 'n iggling out from under the fl urry of Catholic Book Week the 'worm has grown thoroughly peripatetic both in t he limping distances covered and the number of legs employed (999 to be exact, since one was lost to t he cause in a scuffle wit h an independent mouse behind t he Catholic Encyclopedias) . Things will be more quiet now ' because the worms chewing is less rapid and more penetrating during the Lenten season.

Many tasty new selections have been appearing on t he shelves these days- among t hem a new volume by t he author of The M~an Who Got Even With God, F ather Raymond. This t ime it is t he true story of a doomed criminal who found God in t he solit ude of a prison. God Goes to llfurde?'ers' Row re­veals the mystery which surrounded t he actual crime some ten years ago, while detecting t he workings of God in the changes wrought in t his hardened criminal, Tom Penney.

P hotography, usually a commercial commodity, less fre­quently is :111 art, occasiona lly a new way of seeing reality. Walter Nurnberg's photographs of t he hands of a priest as t hey move through the ritual of the Mass provide an exciting excep­t ion. I n the Mass, as the central prayer of t he church, t he priest's hands become an instrument of God, "the genuine mysticism," as Father Martindale wri tes in t he preface to Hands At Mass.

Where Nests the Water Hen is Gabrielle Roy's delightful ta le of a F rench Canadian family on an island in t he Little Water H en River, a family which increased regularly by one child each year until the acute educational problem (there was no school on t he island) brings Mamma T ousignant's challenge to the provincial government. T he story has warmth and dis­t inction.

In a more historical ,"ein, the li fe of Father J ohn Gerard, a J esuit priest in E lizabethan E ngland, contains incidents com­parable to the most hazardous exploits of t he recent war. In his introduction to Hunted Priest, Graham Greene writes t hat although t he setting is t hat of the 16th cent ury it is "stilI a little ahead of our time."

'With a dash of levity, Joseph A.

Helen Dougherty Composes Ring Ceremony Prayer

o Emmanuel, our King and Lawgiver, we beg Thy bless­ing as we kneel before Thee on thi , one of the most memorable days of our college life. We give Thee thanks, t hat today, for t he first time we are privileged to wear the ring of our college, the insignia which marks us now, and will ever distinguish us as loyal daughters of our Alma Mater. We pray that this ring may be to us a symbol of the past: that we shall always re­member in prayer t he parents and teachers who sacrifices have made this day possible. May it be to us a 'ymbol of the 1lI'Pflf'n t : that the blue of the stOM may . ignify t.hp i::)uprerne Truth and the gold, the Supreme Good towards which mind and heart tend every moment of our lives. May it be to us a pledge for the future that through fidelity to Thy grace and to the aims and ideals of our college training we may attain to the fullness of saintly womanhood in this life and enjoy the .fullness of beatitude for all eternity.

Immaculate Mother Mary, we turn to thee for guidance today. Teach us thy ways of humility, docility, and patience for we would learn to know God. Teach us thy ways of pru­dence, long suffering, and resignat ion for we would live to serve God. Teach us thy ways of silence, contemplation, and sacrifice for we. would love God above all t hings.

We pray that the words we speak today will fructify in deeds for Thy greater glory, 0 Emmanuel. Amen.

The spirit of L'Allegro was loosed . . . on the Seniors through fond recollection of their own Junior Week, on the Sophomores in an­ticipation, and on the Freshmen in cooperation at this happy time with their sisters. "Wreathed Smiles" became the fashion of the hour for "an unusually brilliant group" of young women (the phrase is not entirely of Junior origin ), as they marched, feasted, and danced. In this, the social climax of their college career, the Juniors forgot for a moment the "wrinkled care" of books and revelled in their brief hour of "Jest and Youthful JOllity." With

" ... let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, .and walk in the ways of thine heart and in the sight of thine eyes ... " ~ Ecclesiastus: 11,9.

Does it seem strange to link these words with the symbolism and activity of Junior Week?

Theatre parties, proms and dinners were but the outward manifestations of joy. Within each junior's heart was a deeper joy that can not be described, a peace that filled each heart when the Prince of Peace entered into it on Wednesday morning, a joy born of both pride and humility when the Emmanuel ring was slipped on each junior's finger.

Junior Wee,k served to crystal­lize the concept that we may always walk in the ways of our hearts, for our hearts will ever re­main young in the joy of Em­manuel, God with us .

Reverend Mother V isits College

The visit of · Reverend Mother Josepha de Saint Francois, twelfth Mother General of the Sisters of Notre Dame, on Janu­ary 4, was an event that the stu­dent body will long remember. She was accompanied by Sister Maura, member of the General Council of the Institute of Notre Dame.

REVEREND MOTHER JOSEPH A DE ST. FRANCOIS

After a greeting sung by the student body, an address of wel­come was delivered by Louise Consoli, senior French major. She spoke of the many opportunities afforded Emmanuel students

r JOSEPH J. DOYLE 'I

through the zeal exercised by the Sisters of the faculty, of their generous sharing of their spirit­ual as well as their intellectual heritage. "Our spiritual wealth," said Miss Consoli, "makes us almost afraid, but day by day we understand more fully that it is given us not only for our­selves,. but for a host of other souls. It is g iven us that we, like your spiritual daughters, may in turn bequeath it to those whOln we n1eet."

Following the address of wel­come, the Reverend Mother spoke to the students first in French and then in English. After her expression of gratitude for their greetings and flowers, Sr. Su­perior urged all Emmanuelites to be mindful of t heir opportunities to exercise the Christian virtues in society and to remember Our Lady's desire to assist them with their problems.

"Be proud of your religion," ex­horted Reverend Mother, "proud to belong to the Catholic Church. You will have your difficulties, but in these have recourse to Mary, the Seat of Wisdom. As a child of Mary, do not let a day pass without doing something for Mary."

Upon the completion of the Reverend Mother's address, the student body sang the marching song which was sung b"y the Belgian school childreen last July at the bicentennial celebra­tion of Blessed Julie Billiart's birth at Cvvil1y. The program ended with t he Reverend Moth­er's presentation to each student of a copy of the bi-centennial souvenir booklet.

"To step into a classroom and expect to learn teaching methods there by the trial and error method is unfair to the children," asserted Miss Claire Martell of Boston Teachers' College', when interviewed recently on the sub­ject of preparation for a teach­ing career.

Methods Courses Essential "Educational methods courses

are a 'must' for the prospective t eacher," commented Miss Mar­tell , "because they provide the knowledge of lesson planning and presentation of material. Stu­dents interested in teaching should also take courses in edu­cational psychology in order to understand the working of the child mind and the various stages of the child's physical and mental growth."

Twenty Years' Experience Miss Martell's advice bears

weight as it comes from a teach­er whose perennial success on the platform is attested by all who have sat in her classes at Ja­maica Plain High, Roslindale High, and Boston Teachers' Col­lege, and whose unflagging in­terest in educational trends is attested by her professional record.

Work for M. Ed. To college students who are

interested in getting a master's , degree, but are uncertain wheth­er to concentrate in the educa­tional field or in the arts, Miss Martell says it is well to get both if one plans to make teaching her career. If one can't con­sider both degrees, in Miss Mar­tell's opinion, it is better for the sake of one's immediate needs to work for an M. Ed. and then later, to take content courses at one's leisure. , Love of Children Prerequisite

"The teacher should keep grow­ing," adds Miss Martell. "She owes it to t he children to keep herself informed regarding trends in teaching content and pro­cedures.
