PREFET DES ETUDES—OFFICIER D'ACADEMIE Nous avons eu dans le Pere Armand un ami qui nous aida dans tous les aspects de notre vie collegienne. Conseil- ler de l'Heritage, directeur du Cercle St-Jean et du Cercle Frangais, il ne cessa jamais de travailler avec une ardeur inlassable a notre progres. II fit passer les etudes a la pre¬ miere place et, malgre notre incomprehension a certains temps, il lut tenace et ne lacha jamais ce qu'il avait entrepris. Pour les Versificateurs, il fut une aide irremplagable et un bon conseiller. Que tous ses espoits pour l'Assomption deviennent des realites, ainsi donnant bonne fin a une oeuvre pour laquelle il se devoua entieremenst, \ Pete mann a. a. PREFET DE DISCIPLINE L'observance des regies disciplinaires d'une maison peut etre penible, et pour ceux qui 1'infligent, et pour ceux qui s'y soumettent. Grace a notre prefet actuel, ce ne fut pas le cas chez nous. Le Pere Amarin, par un prodige incomprehensible, savait nous faire obeir au reglement meme en pensant que nous y echappions. Il sauvegarda precieusement le bien commun, objet pri- maire de toute discipline, mais conserva aussi les droits de l'individu. Son sourire et sa bonne humeur perpetuelle ont ete pour tous, des plus jeunes aux plus vieux, un encouragement, un secours, et surtout un gage que nous ne voulions pas outrepasser. Il aima ses eleves et travailla toujours pour leur bien. A ce bon Pere, les Versificateurs, en partant, temoignent leurs plus sinceres sentiments de reconnaissance; c'est la le moins qu'ils lui doivent pour son devouement complet a leur egard. HOS PRtrtTS.... Aw Odilon 2 uboii,70a, a. a.a., Cd^icier d^2$cadeteime PROFESSEUR DE LATIN La classe de 1952 se souviendra du Pere Odilon surtout a cause de sa maxime favorite: il nous apprit bien que nul succes ne venait sans un travail assidu. II ne cessa jamais son travail pour nous aider dans notre etude des anciens et de leur langue. II dut laisser sa classe au mois de mars. Les eleves eu- rent beaucoup de peine a comprendre qu'a cause de trop de devouement pour les autres et un manque d'attention pour lui-meme, leur professeur etait a l'hopital. II ne les oublia jamais. A lui notre plus grande et sincere reconnaissance pour une legon bien enseignee: le travail! Pe\e n /anius 2 umoufin, a. a., O^icier d^rdcademie PROFESSEUR DE LATIN La tache difficile de remplacer le Pere Odilon retomba sur un de ses compatriotes, le Pere Marius, notre professeur de latin en elements. II s'acquitta parfaitement de la succes¬ sion du Pere Odilon. Nous avons craint le fatiguer, puisqu'il relevait a peine d'une longue maladie et que, pauvre Pere, on ne lui donna qu'une seule journee pour s'y preparer. II ne laissa jamais paraitre sa fatigue meme en faisant passer les examens oraux. Pour avoir entrepris une telle oeuvre, si peu encoura- geante qu'elle parut, la classe de 1952 lui temoigne ses plus profonds remerciements. Pere £t ienne ~r4uberl, a. a., Offu :ier d'2c a detenue PROFESSEUR DE FRANCAIS Le frangais nous fut enseigne d'une maniere vivante et pratique; ce fut la l'oeuvre et le souci principal de ce Pere. Pour atteindre sa fin, il se devoua a notre piece de classe; il remplit ses heures de classe d'experiences pratiques, de con- seils necessaires et utiles. Le "Papa terrible" des Versificateurs, il n'en sera pas aussitot oublie. Sous son apparente durete, ce devoue pro¬ fesseur cacha un coeur completement donne a ses eleves et leur succes. Nous l'avons bien constate lors de notre retraite de classe: il pouvait alors nous preparer une derniere fois pour la vie future. Que nous puissions lui justifier sa con- tiance en la jeunesse! Aw WarJL Pa'a renl, a. a., PROFESSEUR DE RELIGION ET DESTRUCTION CIVIQUE Nos devoirs envers Dieu et envers la patrie nous furent expliques par le meme professeur; pour ses classes d'ensei- gnement civique, il fit venir plusieurs illustres conferenciers qui nous montrerent le cote pratique des theories en classe. Grand organisateur des activites pour les eleves, il nous a procure l'honneur d'un representant au Student Govern¬ ment Day, fit installer la Societe Nationale d'Honneur et beaucoup d'autres activites qui enrichirent notre vie a l'Assomption. HOS PROS Pere Ufric S. Sharpentier, a. a., ji.m PROFESSEUR DE MATHEMATIQUES D'une patience surhumaine, ce zele petit professeur rendit interessante une matiere qui en realite avait quelques aspects difficiles a traiter. Ses plaisanteries en plein milieu d'une classe nous garderent attentifs a la matiere qu'il illus- tra en craie multicolore. II connait parfaitement sa matiere et, pendant notre / sejour avec lui, nous avons profite de sa grande connaissan- ce. Ceux qui se preparent pour une carriere ou Ton se sert des mathematiques n'oublieront jamais son devouement a leur egard. Ptr. -JUuiphonie n'/ane l/-JucjnarcSuanard, a. a., PROFESSEUR DE LITTERATURE LATINE Des groupes divers de notre classe jouirent a differentes epoques de l'enseignement de ce jeune Pere; quelles furent leurs impressions? De l'avis de tous, il y a derriere ce front reveur ou soucieux, un savoir quasi illimite et Ton devine sans peine que son ambition a toujours ete d'en transmettre le plus possible a ses disciples. Mais voici le point interessant de ses classes: il ne se bornait pas a la matiere precise qu'il traitait a merveille, mais il developpait tous les aspects en relation avec son sujet. Nous lui souhaitons de recueillir un egal succes dans toutes ses entreprises. Ptr. PaulP. WartJ, a. a., PROFESSEUR DE SOCIOLOGIE Il etait necessaire, pour ceux qui voulaient terminer terminer cette annee leurs cours d'education, de bien se pre¬ parer a cette vie dans laquelle ils entreraient bientot. Le Pere Paul a voulu les y preparer par la sociologie mais aussi par les multiples explications qu'il y ajoutait. Ses eleves le reconnurent comme le professeur qui pou- vait avoir une des plus grandes influences sur leur vie future s'ils voulaient accepter ce qu'il leur proposait. Il nous semble, qu'en quittant notre Ecole Superieure, ses paroles patientes et son enseignement pratique nous aideront a traverser, avec des motifs chretiens, une vie pour laquelle nos annees d'etude nous ont prepares. Pin JILls Sal ineau, a. a., Jl. PROFESSEUR DE CHIMIE La chimie, etude completement nouvelle pour notre clas¬ se, ne nous resta pas longtemps un mystere; a cause de l'ar- dent et inlassable effort du professeur si bien au courant de tous les aspects de son sujet, ses eleves travaillerent a deve- nir, eux aussi, maitres de la matiere. Ses explications etaient longues et detaillees, sa patien¬ ce y etait proportionnee. Malgre les peines et les difficultes, surmontant tous les obstacles, nous avons appris qu'un tra¬ vail et une coordination minutieuse de tous nos sens nous soraient toujours necessaires. W. V«Lon X. (jaucLr, -A. &. PROFESSEUR D'ANGLAIS C'est ce professeur qui nous introduit a la versification, donnant des classes remplies de multiples exemples de situa¬ tions actuelles et de science politique.

  • Dancing at Lughnasa
    1 Dancing at Lughnasa ACT ONE When the play opens MICHAEL is standing downstage left in a pool of light. The rest of the stage is in darkness. Immediately MICHAEL begins speaking slowly bring up the lights on the rest of the stage. Around the stage and at a distance from MICHAEL the other characters stand motionless in formal tableau. MAGGIE is at the kitchen window (right). CHRIS is at the front door. KATE at extreme stage right. ROSE and GERRY sit on the garden seat. JACK stands beside ROSE. AGNES is upstage left. They hold these positions while MICHAEL talks to the audience. MICHAEL. When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936 different kinds of memories offer themselves to me. We got our first wireless set that summer – well, a sort of set; and it obsessed us. And because it arrived as August was about too begin, my Aunt Maggie – She was the joker of the family – she suggested we give it a name. She wanted to call it Lugh* after the old Celtic God of the Harvest. Because in the old days August the First was La Lughnasa, the feast day of the pagan god, Lugh; and the days and weeks of harvesting that followed were called the Festival of Lughnasa. But Aunt Kate – she was a national schoolteacher and a very proper woman --she said it would be sinful to christen an inanimate object with any kind of name, not to talk of a pagan god. So we just called it Marconi because that was the name emblazoned on the set.

  • Augustinian Values and Signs of the Times by Gary N. Mccloskey
    . Occasional Paper #2 Love of God and Love of Neighbor: Augustinian Values and Signs of the Times by Gary N. McCloskey O.S.A.* Presented at The O.S.A. Educators International Congress Rome, Italy July 2005 * All Rights Reserved 2005 for Text by Gary N. McCloskey, O.S.A. Rev. Gary N. McCloskey, O.S.A., is Chaired Professor of Augustinian Pedagogy and Dean of the College at Merrimack College, North Andover, Massachusetts. In these positions Dr. McCloskey directs the Saint Augustine Institute for Learning and Teaching as part of the college’s efforts to enhance its Augustinian distinctive competence. In addition to his Augustinian pedagogy he has provided leadership for social justice work in higher education. He has also served as Director of Justice and Peace for the Villanova Province. When I was asked to make a presentation on Augustinian educational values and the signs of the times, the scope was obviously daunting. One way to approach such a task was to find a lens through which I could focus my ideas. In the face of the amount of writings by and about Augustine as well as my not being an Augustine scholar by training I was unsure of a direction. Yet, the fact of the limitations of my study of Augustine led me to the one text with which I am most familiar, The Rule. Here I found at its beginning my starting point, “Before all else, dear brothers, love God and then your neighbor, because these are the chief commandments given to us.”1 No matter who is the author2 of these words, their Augustinian character is undeniable.

    Marion Leonard Lived: June 9, 1881 - January 9, 1956 Worked as: film actress, producer, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Sarah Delahousse It is well known that Florence Lawrence, the first “Biograph Girl,” was frustrated in her desire to exploit her fame by the company that did not, in those years, advertise their players’ names. Lawrence is thought to have been made the first motion picture star by an ingenious ploy on the part of IMP, the studio that hired her after she left the Biograph Company. But the emphasis on the “first star” eclipses the number of popular female players who vied for stardom and the publicity gambles they took to achieve it. Eileen Bowser has argued that Lawrence was “tied with” the “Vitagraph Girl,” Florence Turner, for the honorific, “first movie star” (1990, 112). In 1909, the year after Lawrence left Biograph, Marion Leonard replaced her as the “Biograph Girl.” At the end of 1911, Leonard would be part of the trend in which favorite players began to find ways to exploit their popularity, but she went further, establishing the first “star company,” according to Karen Mahar (62). Leonard had joined the Biograph Company in 1908 after leaving the Kalem Company, where she had briefly replaced Gene Gauntier as its leading lady. Her Kalem films no longer exist nor are they included in any published filmography, and few sources touch on her pre-Biograph career. Thus it is difficult to assess her total career. However, Marion Leonard was most likely a talented player as indicated by her rapid ascension to the larger and more prominent studio.

  • The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, Part One: 1890 to 1919
    Journalist in Silent Film 35 The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929: Part One 1890 to 1919 Joe Saltzman Professor of Journalism Director of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] with Liz Mitchell Senior Research Associate Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction This is the first installment in the landmark study of “The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929.” It covers 1,948 films from 1890 to 1919. Part Two will cover the years from 1920 to the beginning of recorded sound in 1929. This is the first comprehensive study of the beginning of cinema’s earliest depictions of the journalist, mostly newspaper reporters, editors, and publishers. Newspaper fiction flourished at a time when journalism “was a revolutionary force, tearing up traditions, redefining public morality, and lending voice and encouragement to the disenfranchised. It reflected currents sweeping through every phase of American life. The skyrocketing circulations, the manic search for exclusive news, the sensational headlines, and the concentration of newspaper ownership were signs of an America changing from a rural society to an urban and industrial one. Since journalism so clearly mirrored and so loudly supported the new order, it became the preeminent symbol for the mechanization, standardization, democratization, and vulgarization of culture.”1 Historian Howard Good points out that the 1890s “represented a watershed not only in American journalism but also in American history.

  • Masculinity, Race, and the Memory of Frederick Funston by © 2019 Jonathan P
    Imperial Entrepreneur: Masculinity, Race, and the Memory of Frederick Funston By © 2019 Jonathan P. Wells PhD., University of Kansas, 2019 M.A., University of Tulsa, 2007 B.A., University of Tulsa, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani Dr. Robert Schwaller Dr. Sara Gregg Dr. Nicholas Syrett Dr. Laura Mielke Date Defended: 14 May 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Scholar Wells certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Imperial Entrepreneur: Masculinity, Race, and the Memory of Frederick Funston Co-Chair: Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani Co-Chair: Dr. Robert Schwaller Date Approved: 14 May 2019 iii Abstract This work examines Major General Frederick Funston’s life and subsequent memory. It seeks to answer two questions: first, how and why individuals/media makers constructed various identities of Funston during his life? Secondly, this work seeks to answer how and why individuals harnessed these identities after Funston’s death to support various causes? I argue that Frederick Funston became part of a larger narrative about imperialism, and that the conflict between imperialists and anti-imperialists formed the basis for two competing memories of Funston over the next century. Funston started his career as an explorer and used the local newspapers to gain acceptance for his chosen profession. Funston became an entrepreneur of imperialism. He promoted the idea of expansionism and with it he sold himself and his story. His early writings reflect the use of racial and gendered language to pit the “civilized” against the “savage.” Funston used the language of white civilized manhood to demonstrate his superiority over “other” non-white groups.

  • Mary Pickford
    Mary Pickford Also Known As: Mary Pickford Rogers, Gladys Smith, Gladys Louise Smith, Gladys Mary Smith Lived: April 8, 1892 - May 29, 1979 Worked as: company director, distributor, film actress, film company founding partner, producer, screenwriter, theatre actress Worked In: United States by Christel Schmidt Mary Pickford was born Gladys Smith in 1892 in Toronto, Canada. After her father was killed in an accident, Gladys became the family’s main breadwinner by performing in the theatre. She was seven years old. In fact, the stage became a family venture, as her younger siblings Lottie and Jack and even her mother took up the trade. But the drive and determination to be a star belonged solely to Gladys. In 1907, her ambition would take her to Broadway and famed producer-director David Belasco, who changed her name to Mary Pickford and gave her a part in “The Warrens of Virginia.” In 1909, when Pickford was between stage engagements, she approached director D. W. Griffith at the Biograph Company in New York and asked for work in moving pictures. She had no intention of working permanently in the new medium, but hoped the income would tide her over before she went back to Belasco and the stage. Pickford was intrigued with film acting, and before long she began to enjoy “posing” for motion pictures. She stayed with the Biograph Company, working as both an actress and writer from 1909 to 1911, leaving for a brief stint with the Independent Motion Picture Company (IMP), and later with Majestic Pictures Corporation. She returned to Griffith at Biograph in early 1912, finishing out the year with him.
