For the six years from june, 1921, to August, 1927, Sister Jerome had been Superior at the Inf stitute and in her earlier life she had been for eight years a member of the faculty. For some time, Sister had been in very poor health, and last summer it was deemed best to remove her to Baltimore, where it was hoped the warm climate would prove benehcial to her. Evidently, however, her life work had been completed, and just at noon on October first, a sudden Veni, Spousa Christi, sounded in her ears. A few brief moments passed and, with the words, Take me, dear Jesus, on her lips, Sister passed quickly and quietly from this life into the eternal life beyond. On September 25, 1927, Mr. Philip Bodet, father of the Misses Rose Bodet, '23, Dolores Bodet, '26, and Angela Bodet, '28, was called suddenly to his eternal reward. Though Mr. Bodet had not been well for some time, his death was most unexpected and, coming suddenly as it did, was a great shock to his devoted family. November 16, 1927, witnessed the death of another parent of three Holy Angels students. Mrs. Rosalie Pohly, mother of the Misses Claire Pohly, '28, and Helen and Marion Pohly, '30, was the one to answer this time the summons of the Angel of Death. Mrs. Pohly had been seriously ill for several months, and the loving care lavished upon her by the members of her family proving unavailing, God asked of her the supreme sacrifice. To the members of both of these families the sympathy of the faculty and students of Holy Angels is extended. R. I. P. Father On a green and quiet hillside, In a still, secluded spot, Sleeps, enwrapped in peace unbroken, One whom sorrow troubles not. Quickly did the Master call him, After noble service done, To bestow His fullest blessings And the crown of life he'd won. Though I can but miss his presence, For he seems so far away, Yet, to know he is in Heaven, Makes me happy every day. And no matter how I miss him, This shall comfort be to me- His new life is far more happy Than his life on earth could be. -ANGELA Bomzr, '28 97

Alumnae Notes The year 1927 witnessed the marriage of ive members of the Holy Angels Alumnae Association. The first of these took place on June second, when Miss Octavia Kramer of the Class of '22 became the bride of Lieutenant George Hubbard Potter of the United States Marine Corps. In the same month, Miss Mary Sheridan, '21, was married to Mr. Edward Donahue. The wedding ceremony took place at the Church of the Madonna, Fort Lee, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Donahue have made their home in Southold, L. I. A third wedding took place on the 11th of August, when Miss Ellen M. Reilly, '16, was married to Mr. Ralph Merz. Mr. and Mrs. Merz are now residing in Leonia, N. J. On the 13th of August, Miss Lillian Lane of the Class of '23 became the bride of Mr. George P. Bodet at the Church of St. John the Martyr, New York City. Mr. Bodet is the brother of Miss Rose Bodet, also of the Class of '23. At present, Mr. and Mrs. Bodet are making their home in Brooklyn. The fifth wedding was that of Miss Jeanette Bernhard, a member of the Class of 1919, and later instructor in physical training at Holy Angels. She is now Mrs. Edward Gilroy. Again this year, as in former years, has come news of the continued success of Miss Katherine Sterne, '24, at Wellesley College. Through the New 'York Times we have learned that she has been elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and also that she has become the recipient of the Durand Scholarship. The latter is the highest honor that can be conferred upon a student of Wellesley College. We were not surprised to hear of these new honors, since we already knew that Katherine had maintained the highest standing in her class during the four years of her college course. Miss Ethel M. Sullivan, also a member of the Class of '24, will be among those to don the cap and gown for Commencement Exercises in June. Ethel will graduate from the College of Mount St. Vincent, New York, which college she has been attending since her graduation from Holy Angels in '24. Another of the June graduates will be Miss Dorothy Krug, '25, who this year is completing a threefyear course in a New York Kindergarten Training School. We feel sure that the little ones who will have Dot for a teacher will be happy, indeed. Our immediate predecessors at H. A. have scattered in divers directions and have chosen various paths. Miss Marian Christ and Miss Mary Sullivan are now students at Hunter College, New York City, Miss Concetta Mango and Miss Lucille Nolan are at Mount St. Vincent's College. The Misses Julia Cullen and Mary McNally have elected the teaching profession, the former being now at Montclair Normal School and the latter at the Newark Normal. Miss Irene Fasolo and Miss Marguerite Quinn have chosen work among the tiny tots, and are now studying kindergarten work at Miss Harriet Mills Kindergarten Training School, New York City. The Misses Dorothy Hannigan and Florence Murphy are among those pursuing a college career, the former at Fordham Uni' versity, and the latter at the College of New Rochelle. To Miss Johannah Horgan has come the highest callfthe call to the religious life. On September 8th, last, she entered the Franciscan Order at Peekskill, N. Y., where she is now a happy postulant. Miss Elizabeth Harrison is at present studying at the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn,preparatory to a course in nursing which she intends to take when her work at Pratt shall have been completed. During the past year the Holy Angels Alumnae Association was admitted to member' ship in the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae. At a meeting of the New Jersey Chapter, held at St. Vincent's Academy, Newark, last fall, our Alumnae Association was represented by its President, Miss May Kenelly, the Secretary, Miss Gertrude Ewald, and the Misses Marion Hannigan, '17, and Marie Cavaliere, '22.
