topic will be "Secret in Twentieth Century

For the past 25 years Professor T agita has studied the way of life of the thousands of Christians who are still living in seclusion on the island of Kyushu. They are the descendants of some of the one

million Japanese that were bap­tized by St. Francis Xavier' and his fello\-v Jesuit missioners.

After the persecutions of the Christians in the sixteenth century, these people fled to the remote is­lands and moun~ains to practi!Oe their faith unmolested. Today, their descendants still live in these iso­lated areas of southern Japan, clinging to the remnants of a faith, which, fer the past 300 years, has been passed down from father to son.

Professor Tagita became terested in the Church through

71ew p1z.oject . ~pU1z,s Hub Announcement of the multi-million dollar Back

Bay developm~nt program has given impetus to

Boston's march of progress. Caroll J. Shanks,

president of the Prudential Insurance Company of

America, has unveiled plans for what is called the

world's largest integrated business, civic, and reSI­

dential center.

The sweeping rehabilitation of the Back Bay eyesore will constructively effect the city, sLate, and

region. Prudential's insistence that local materiah as well as local labor be utilized will make the

project felt through New England. The stimulus

provided to leaders, however, overshadows im­

mediate economic advantages. Mayor John B. Hynes declared that: "Nothing like it has ever be­

fore happened to inspire us to take the bit in our

teeth and to run at full speed ahead." Big and profitable expansion has followed Im-

mediately in the wake of concentrated area pro­

jects in Chicago and Pittsburgh. The opportunity

in Boston far surpasses that of any other big city

because it is a regional capital with New England

interest at heart.

February, Catholic Press Month, spotlights the present world need for good Catholic thought and

action . There are many ways of acquiring this

multi-faceted good, but the Catholic Press is the

most avaliable. At the end of 1955, there were 33.5 million

Catholics in the United States. The total circula­tion of all Catholic publications d uring that year

year was 22.6 million. Some 15,000 secular pub­

lications, on the other hand, blanket the total

population more than three times. Although poorly supported by the people, the

Ca tholic Press has, for several years, shown steady

growth. It has become more and more profess ional. Newspapers and magazines measure up to the best standards. Qualitatively and quantitatively, they

provide for every intellectual need, interest, and

taste. Today, when Catholicism is locked in s truggle

with atheistic materialism, the importance of the Catholic Press, in itself and for the Catholic, proves boundless. Duties of citizenship and judgments on

issues of the day emerge under the guidance of

Catholic publications. In an age when communications are making the

globe one community, the Catholic's obligation to

understand the relations among nation and to con­tribute to the development of the future world is

vital. The Catholic Press acts as a reliable source

of information on the Church and her teaching,

-so much so-that the serious Catholic can hardl y

be indifferent to it, without considerable loss to a

full life.

SG Program Fuljtlls Aims By Sue Murphy

At the first formal Student Gov­ernment assembly in September, Mary Lou Mahoney, president of Student Government, addressed the student body and set forth the aims of the Association for the year. She stressed that the princi­pal concern of a student govern­ment should be the cooperation with faculty and administration to further the intellectual growth of the individual.

The great est step toward this goal, to date, was t he pr" 'sentatio n of the first student-faculty panel at Emmanuel for the study of intel­lectualism as it applies to the cam­pus. This discussion gave rise to a general definition of intellectual as meaning an individual's awareness to the things around him and the formation of definite attitudes to­wards these things in the light of that awareness.

Student Government has no ~

rested on the laurels of a defini­tion. The Association is formulat­ing plans to continue providing stimulus to student intellectualism by making available information on the trends of the age, especially those of collegiate interest. A series -of assembly lectu~es ():1 contempJ­rary art a - d music wm highlight the program. The culmination, this year, will lie in another student­faculty panel.

Students Di~close Diver se Opi nions

Recently a student asked: "Is it

more beneficial to work before starting college, or would it be bet­ter to come right from high school?" A poll taken among stu­dents reveals these thoughts.

Sheila Sinclair '59 : By working first you gain and lose something.

Elizabeth Murray '58: Working heightens your sense of personal values. You are then able to tak'l a more mature viewpoint toward, college.

Cele3te Martin '59: It is beUer to come directly after finishing high ~c:, o:JJ , othe :w s e thE' schJla3-tic appetite a roused there may be lost.

Ray Bemis '57: I think it is bet­hel' fo r girls to continue study after h'gh school.

Ac­tivity is divided among the four rooms of the Main Library, t he Marilyn Lee Library or Periodical Room, and the newly converted History Library.

Locked ;n a low cabinet in Room 16, hidden from sight, are about 150 rare and valuable manuscripts. Fifty new books, processed and made ready for circulation each month, continually add to the value of the Iibrar:·.

~Great Man' Features 'l'riple:rhreat Ferrer By Maura R. We(lge

THE GREAT MAN, currently at the Beacon H ill, features Broadway's wonder-boy, Jose Ferrer, in a triple-threat capa­city (author, director, star). The result is a superior film which proves more of a triumph for Ferrer, the director, than for F errer, '.he actor.

P lot-wise, radio newsman, Joe Harri s (Jose Fer­rer) is assigned the job of assembling a memorial

show upon the death of radio 's "great man." Upon

investigation, Joe discovers that the idol had q uite

prominent " clay feet" and he must decide whether

to do a complimentary show or tell the truth.

Jose Ferrer is in the odd position of being the

star, and yet not having much of a role. His main

chore is to draw out others and look empathetic . Thi s he does admirably.

On the other hand, Julie London has an impres­sive scene at her disposal and she makes fine use '.

of it. She shows depth and understanding as the

"great man's" sometime mistress who has noth ing better to turn to now than a drink.

As a small-town radio-man, Ed Wynn is out­standing. A combination of the slightly ridiculous

and the touching, he turns in what may be the

best piece of acting in the picture. THE GREAT MAN employs many television

techniques both in its photography and in its ap­

proach, and is in some ways vaguely reminiscen t

of DRAGNET in its better day. While not of a " ten-be2 t" cali ber, thi s fi lm is well worth see:ng­

it's even worth the price of admiss ion.

Alumna .Enjo)7s Varieiy Practises Creative Ideas By Marth a Leonard

"Editing a paper for the em­ployees of e ight stores, setting up publicity, and k eeping abreast of company policy, constitutes just a part of my job here at S. S. Pierce," reveals J ean · Bresnahan, Emmanu­el '55.

Working <is a n assistant to Mr. Norman H. Davis, personnel man­ager. Jean finds out what em­ployees want to know, then makes it her business to see that they are informed.

"Special Projects"

At S.S. Pie"ce, Jean has worked on many "special projects." Re­decoration of the women's recrea­tion room is a lmost complete and currently she is making a study of bulletin boards and ways to make them more effective.

"It's a wonderful opportunity to express creative ideas," confides the young editor. "I find myself constantly thinking ahead for coming iss ues. I even keep a 'Fut­ure's Book' of ideas, articles, and clippings that can be used at a later date."

An English major at Emmanuel,

Jean entered Radcliffe's Manag2-ment Training Program after grad­uation. "Personnel work at Rad­cliffe enabled me to know the busi· ness side of merchandising. T ech­nical knowledge of newspaper editing and Lusiness procedur .! have combined to make me happy at S.S. Pierce," states this former Focus managing editor.

Publication Work "Working on The Shield is very

stimulating," continued Jean. "I work w ith a staff of 40 reporters , representing the different depart­ments. They pass in news articles to the eight associate editors, who in turn pass the stories on to me. The work of layout, features, art­icles on company policy, and pic­tures are my responsibility."

"S. S. Pierce has given me a won­derful opportunity to see the mer­chandising world, both on the wholesale a nd retail angle," J ean stated. "It's amazing how many different aspects of this one com­pany there are to know and under­stand in order to help others to see the actuality and potentiality of S. S. Pierce as I see them."

ARTIS,])IC SELF-EXPRESSION is the theme of the late session art workshop. Here Marilyn MacAdams '59 sketches Peggy Kelley '57 in charcoal while junior Mary Lou Higgins and freshman Teddy l\lalhowski concentrate on oils.

"Artists are painting what the a uthors are w riting." Sister Ger­trude Magdalene, S.N.D., chairman of the Art Department at Emmanu­el, claims this the idea behind the foundation of the art workshop which meets Tuesday and Thurs­day afternoons.

Sister Gertrude Magdalene also consi:lerel a joirrt club for art and literature or art and history. "The students would tnen be able to see that the artist's inspiration and the author's inspiration are very close­ly related," Sister addS.

Plans for the conductin g of the art workshop are two-fold: art ap­preciation is available for those in­terested in the history and develop­ment of art, a nd practical art for those who preferred painting.

The workshop, which began last October, numbers 12 to 15 girls who attend every Tuesday and Thurs­day afternoons. Many of these stu­d ents eannot fit art courses into

Pencil drawing is taken first, then charcoal. Mary Lou Higgins, '58, attends workshop on Friday af­ternoons and does most of her work in charcoal.

Theodora Malhowski, '59, spe­c ializes in oil painting. She has had no previous formal training in art, but has developed skill in oil paint­ing at the workshop.

Marilyn MacAdam, '59, was of­fered a price for the portraits she made at the workshop. She attempt­ed to sketch two children from life, but because of the length of time involved and the long sittings for the children, she was unable to finish. She then completed the drawings from photographs of the childre n which sh e brought to the workshop.

CCD Initiates Teaching Aids

At Emmanuel this month, th e Confraternity of Christian Doc: rin .! is engineering a project w hich will benefit countless people whose liveJ w ill be influe nced due to the ou ~­

g iv ing att itudes expressed in t hi ; group.

Under the direction of Sis~er A :1.1

Augusta, the Emmam:el divis io. of the CCD has compiled religio ... s material in the form of games crafts, and stories for girls tea . h ing Sunday School in the Archdio · cese and in the South. Printed work-sheets on the primary a nd in­termediate levels are available to any a nd a ll Sunday School teachers who want to u se them.

"We are planning to prepare pictures for the younger children to color," stated Sister Ann Augus­~a , in a recent interview.

In addition to Emmanuel stu­dents, graduates in Mexico, and Florence, South Carolina, who h ave heard of the project, have asked for copies of the lessons. The Em­manuel division has a lso filled the requ est of the Trinitarian Sisters in Gadston, Alabama for these ma­terials.

"Our aim i.1 to h elp those who teach Sunday school a nd have little time to prepare lessons," ex­plained Sister Ann Augusta.

Projects of this type would en­able many more busy students, who have no time for extensive Sun­day lesson preparation, yet desire to aid their j)arishes, to volunteer for such teaching work.

Medal Perpetuates Marian Hall Motto Ey Phylis McManus

In order to "perpetrate the mem­

ory of Emmanuel in the hearts of

its students," Sister Alice Gertl'ude, preside nt, h as originated a distinc­

tive Emmanu el medal for the stu­dents which bears the image of the Marian H all statue.

The sterling silver medal, de­signed by the Creed Rosary Com­pany, contains the sculptured features of Our Lady with the words which appear on Marian Hall , "In me is a ll grace of the way and of the truth." On the re­verse side is the focal point of the college seal inscribed with the name "Emmanuel" in the original Hebrew. This signifies that a know­ledge of "God With Us" is the aim and crown of all learning.

Sister Alice Gertrude plans to re­place the traditional sodality pin with this medal next year, but would like to see a ll present stu­dents wearing the image by the month of Me.y. "It will spread de­votion to Our Blessed Lady under h er title, 'Mediatrix of a ll Grace' especially during her month," the president explains.

The Emma nuel medal, including a sterling silver ch a in, is now available at the bookstore.

THE WORK OF EIGHT YEARS COMPLETED, Sister Wilfrid contem­plates the final manuscripts of the translation of st. Augustine's letters.

Nun TranslatesAugustine Stresses Vigol~ Tod.ay By Ann Agnew

Eight year s of intensive study revealing the ageless ideas of a fourth century sain t were recently completed by Sister Wilfrid, head

of the Latin department at Em­manuel.

Sister has just published her fifth and final volume in a series trans­lating all of the extant letters of St. Augustine of Hippo. Collective­ly, these L atin epistles, written by one of the greatest minds produced in the Church, consist of a thou­sand pages of classical text. Several h ave never appeared in English.

The content of the letters, re­vealed Sister Wilfrid, arQ a cross section of many problems of life that plague ('very generation. The wide variety of subjects range frOm taut observations on woman's clothing to a defense of the value of a liberal art edu cation..

These translations, explained Sis­

t er Wilfrid, will further the move­

ment a imed at obta ining a com­plete English translation of the

Church's patrology which is a m a -

jor source for scholars studying the late Latin period of literature (2nd-

5th centuries A .D.). "Moreover,'" noted the professor, "as modern scholars are absorbing Augustine's literary merits, his invaluable con­tribution to world thought is be­coming increasingly evident."

"Much of his work was tempor­arily eclipsed by the intellectual brilliance of the RenaissanCA Schoolmen pai'ticularly St. Thomas Aquinas. But his profundity of thought, as recaptured by modern scholars, is fostering a resurgence of Augustinian influence among theologians."

Augustine realized that. he had Ii t erally to build a Christian philo­soph y in a pagan world if the re­ligion was to survive the onslaught of barbarism on the Western world. Thus he undertook the task of or­ganizing and systematizing Chris­tian thought to defend it against opposing philosophies. "Several of his answers to compl~x issues are as valid today as they were six­

teen centuries ago," noted Sister Wilfr id. "rt is this realizati'on that h as sparked revitalized interest in

one of the W est 's greatest think­ers."
