MILDRED C. CROWLEY

This sketch will present t he worlta­day life of Mildred C. Crowley, who bears the tremendous responsibility implied in her imposing title of Su­pervisor of Aid to Dependent Chil­dren for the Boston Public WelfaJ;e Department. Imag ine being in charge of the well-being of 9,000 children in 3,700 f amilies! It certainly makes a school teacher's worri es seem small !

Mildred was interested in Social Service back in her Emmanuel days, and after r eceiving her degree in 1927, she ser ved in severa l positions in that fi eld, which gave her valuable exper ience for her pn~sent work. First she spent six months as a clerk in the Division of Child Guardianship at the State House, then for three and a half years she was connected with t he Catholic Charitable Bureau, most of the time as district supervisor in the West End. In the Fall of 1931, she re­ceived her first position with the Bos­ton Overseers of the Public Welfare as a senior visitor. After two year s, she was promoted to the position of assistant or district supervisor of Dependent Aid cases, having charge

lof the approval of all new a pplica-I tions and re-applications for aid, t he , supervision of t he social service and

I clerica l staff, and the administration of her particular district office.

In the spring of 1934 there was a break in her work for a :tiew months, when the F edel'al Government bor­rowed her services from the City. Miss Crowley acted in the capacity of Field Supervisor in the Relief Divis­ion of the Emergency Relief Adminis­tr ation (ERA) in part of Norfolk County. Soon, however , she r e­turned to Boston to ope" a new dis ­trict office for the Public Welfare De­partment.

Success in a Civil Service examina­tion resulted in Mildred's accession to her presen t position on October 3, 1938. She is responsible, under the Executive Director and the Directol' of Social Service, for the entire ad­ministration of the Aid to Dependent Children Law for the Ci ty of Boston. This year her division will disburse about $3,250,000 in cash relief. Her duties include overseeing the case work of the social service staff, office management of the stenographic and clerical force, and the supervis ion of the filing of all r ecords of her depart­ment at her headquarters at 43 Hawkins street. Moreover, she must make the reports required by the Social Security Board on all case~ helped under the Aid to Dependen t Children Law.

On t he side, as it were, Miss Crow­ley has been a field g uide for studen t s of the social sciences from Emman­uel, Regis, Simmons and Boston Col­leges.

This is the r ecord. When you read it you won't be surprised that when your reporter telephoned to arrange for this interview she was told that Mildred would not be home from work until 9.30 P . M. This is not a 9 to 5 job; it is a position of trust, ministering in the name of the citi­zens of Boston to the less fortunate little ones of the human f amily. As such, it requires the utmost in intelli­gence, patience and sympathy, as well as a tireless expenditure of en­ergy. We who know Mildred are sure that she fills her position with distinction. She has gone up the ladder to successful leadership, and she has carried Emmanuel's with her.

OCTOBER MEETING If partings are such sorrow, meet­

ings should be joy. But to get a ll the Alumnae together at Emmanuel seems an almost impossible tas k. Some attend each meeting faithfully, and to them we owe a great debt, be­cause they are the backbone of our organization. Others, we -rarely see, because they are hampered by dis­tance or home cares. Their inter­es ts and ours are one, yet we feel they lose some of the joy we experi­ence each time we come together after a long absence.

Our October meeting was the usual gathering of the faithful. Its pur­pose was to discuss ways and means of making our Alumnae a financial success for another ye1:r. In the short time given to the bus iness of the afternoon, a great deal was cov­ered.

Sister H elen Madeleine, our Dean, spoke to us first . She told of Lhe splendid work done by the Appoint­ment Bureau. I am sure she brought home to many of us for the first time, the fact that we are pioneers in this work. Requests have come from all over the country to Miss Joan Fiss, the Director, for information concern­ing the functioning of thi s bureau. In this way we have made ourselves con­spicuous in a very fine manner.

After introducing the new officers to the Alumnae, Madeleine O'Brien, president, outlined the plans for the coming years, and asked us to co­operate in every activity. Her en­thusiastic a ppeal instilled in us, new energy. She made vivid the large expenditures necessary for the cany­ing on of our work, and stressed the need for putting over financia lly each undertaking we assume.

Anne McCarthy, '29, editor of the News, requested cont ributions of any kind from the Alumnae, which might be of interest to the other member •. News, original poetry, and prose­everything, will be welcomed with open arms by the editorial depart­ment.

Rosemary O'Neill, '34, chairman of the Thanksgiving Dance, in a very capable manner, announced her p lans and introduced her committee. I am sure many reservations were made that day, owing to her spirited ap­peal.

After a delicious tea, in cha rge of Agnes Bixby, '35, during which we had a chance to r enew many friend­sh ips , the meeting closed.

Geraldine Keane, '26.

THANKSGIVING EVE DANCE

The Alumnae Supper Dance held at the Copley-Plaza Sheraton Room, Thanksgiving Eve, was immensely successful from the standpoint of the big turnout of Alumnae, and the good time they had and the splendid amount realized for our treasury.

Our grateful thanks to the hard­working committee, who co-operated so well with the general chairman, Rosemary O'Neill, to make our an­nual dance the outstanding event it was. Helen Kelley handled very capably the reservations. Rita Shea and her large group of helpers called on the Alumnae to support the dance as patronesses. The long list of patronesses is proof of their success. Many of the girls attended the dance and subscribed to the patroness list, as well. Rose Rooney secured the co-operation of several of our good friends outside the Alumnae for her patroness list. Marguerite Downey helped the committee in every way, and assisted by Margaret O'Neill, ar­ranged publicity for the dance. Our sincere thanks to Rosemary, her committee, and the many Alumnae who supported our Supper Dance.

Whirling to Nye Mayhew's delight­ful music were several brides: Cath­erine Leonard Crotty, '33; Katherine Field Carver, '35; Helene Crosby Markey, '33, and Betty McCarthy Reagan, '33.

Newly engaged couples were seen in the persons of Sally Kane, '35, with Mr. Frank Cunningham; Mary Shan­non, '36, with Dr. Robert O'Connor; Lillian Cronin, '33, with Mr. Thomas Crosby; Helen Kelley, '36, with Mr. William Ray; and Mildred Crowley, '30, with Mr. William Phalen.
