To his Eminence
PATRICK CARDINAL HATES
What stayest thy playful feet, my Brother,
Wihin despite the laughing, joyous day?
Tell me what keepest thou so long from play?
"Look," He said, then softly, "a gift for Mother!"
Only a trophy rude saw the other,
But when upon our Lady's lap it lay,-
Mother and Son circled with smiles so gay,
Love, all crudity seemed to cover.
So, we have proudly brought a task to end,
Conscious only of a father's pleasure,
And knowing that his watchfulness ne'er
tires,
Being that Christflike Prince who lowly bends,
To approve a deed and then to treasure,
We proudly dedicate to him our "Spires."

jfntetnurh
Softly the melody has lingered, sweet, ' throbbing,
vibrant in its initial cadences, lresonant in the beauty
of its pulses, and now, as the harmony so gently draws
to a climax, let us guide you aloft with us, attended by
its all pervading sweetness, in our little planes of
cherished reminiscences,
Up, up into new atmospheres we have travelled,
surrnounting the complexities of storms, and of ob-
structions, gaining new hopes with each altitude, yet
retaining the roseate ideals of the one preceding, treasure
ing covetly each finer, nobler aspiration. Now another
height has been attained, back of us stretches a path
replete with hallowed remembrances. The mystic shades
ofthe future lift slowly, and with one passport, a diploma,
we are awarded full license to explore the great unknown.
Ernbarlg, then, on our little ship of fantasy. Retrace
our little hills, review our hopes and conquests, the
principles and ambitions that have been fostered in the
regions we have just traversed.
Touch gently the veil of the Past. and, when gazing
through its translucent mist, you mark the gladness
therein, raise reverently its meshes, and peruse with us
the intimate secrets it will disclose.

"Who mix'd reason with pleasure, and
wisdom with mirth.
If she had any faults, she has left us in doubt."
SWEETNESS and nonchalance can be freely
attributed to this demure Miss. Never will
we forget her vivacious spontaneity which
brightened our scholastic years. Then too, Grace
possesses that conspicuous characteristic of being
able to make friends and keep them because she
is gracious and true.
With sad hearts we bid Adieu to this petite
demoiselle whose blithe personality was a
benediction to the class of '31, a joy in the
midst of our sometimes aggravating studies, and

affection. Her everfready smile and cheerful
voice reveal a personality so sweet, gentle and
sympathetic that it will cause her circle of
friends to be enlarged greatly when she leaves us.
Cur recollections will always center about

your success will always follow you.

"Her smile, her poise, her charm
All speak of womanly completeness."
WHAT more need we say to describe our
classmate, Mary! Her sparkling person'
ality, so friendly, so jolly and altogether so
charming has endeared her to us.
There is nothing Mary likes so much as
gaietyg she is at her best when she is contributing
to the fun. However, there is a serious side to
Mary's nature, a counterbalance so essential to
"completeness"
As to Mary's future, we know we do not
err in predicting success in the profession of
law, to which she aspires.

'iAnd as the bright sim glorifes the sky,
So is her face illumiifd with her eyes."
WITH a combination of shining blue eyes,
a glorious color, an enchanting smile and
a perfect disposition, Gertrude is irresistible.
Of her many accomplishments, the one most
worthy of commendation is the one that is not
wellfknown-'so carefully has our classmate
guarded the secret of her ability to sketch.
Not long will this talent lie hidden, "Trudy,"
for your persevering nature and artistic gift
will soonn demand for you their proper ref
cognition.

As a student, she looks up to few, as an artist,

"Deal gently with her, world, I pray,
'Ye caves, like softened shadows, come."
HER most expressive countenance, the dignity
of her manner and bearing, give a charm
to an appearance that exactly tallies with her
character.
The warmth of her voice has often softened
the tribulations of school life. But the vigor of
her thoughts, tempered by the gentleness of her
nature, give her a frank simplicity that inspires
all who know her with confidence in her as a
true and sincere friend.

"The social smile, the sympathetic tear."
THE radiant charm of our "Mardy's" efferf
vescent wit has often proved a haven from
the shocks of our scholastic life.
While among us, she has not permitted her
lively interest in outside activities to interfere
with her high academic standing. Genial, sincere
and optimistic, "Mardy" has deservedly asf
cended the legendary throne of Class Humorist
and Philosopher.
For her, our mischievous "Miss Skippyi'

the future shall reveal her bagging wild game

"From the crown of her head to the sole of
her foot she is all mirth."
GUR class proclaims this Miss, the happiest
of its members. A sunny smile for morning
hours, a bright winning disposition throughout
the day, and a merry "Au Revoir" at three
o'clock-such have we discovered in her ap'
pealing demeanor. Her exuberance does not
hide an undercurrent of sweet sympathy, loyalty
and comradeship.
Her personality now, is but a promise of
what it will be in future years. She will be
great, for her virtue merits greatnessg she will
be loved, for her manner merits love.

"Laughing cheerfulness throws sunshine on
all the paths of life."
WINSOME, lighthearted "Ginny" has
grinned over many a text book and
Regents' Examination. Yet the stars point
threateningly to the teaching profession for
her. Picture "Professor Brink M.A.Ph.D.," as
a recognized authority on "How to Quell
Youthful Enthusiasm" or "Cheering for the
White and the Gold."
To us, "Ginny" will ever be that diminutive
individual who is blest with a startling amount
of generosity and rectitude, an eloquent believer
in "Better late than never."

BETTY'S ready wit, cheery smile and helping

classmates and elevated her to the ranks of a

talented artist and an ardent devotee of sports.
She is noted especially for her poise and cheerful

LORETTO embodies the true spirit of
Catholic girlhood. She is quiet, yet not
taciturng conscientious, yet not scrupulous. Her
natural craving for learning is augmented by a
true love of study. All who come in contact
with her are impressed by the sweetness of her

No one can truly say that she ever has heard

"A true friend to everybody
Always jolly and full of fun."
TO know Florence is to know a cheerful
friend who is always willing to help her
classmates.
Gifted with a sunny disposition and cheery
smile she has been a joy to her companions.
She is loyal to her friends, always helping them
out when their days seem darkest. Many have
sought her advice in time of trouble and many
have been advised wisely. She is never too busy
to help a friend and her kind loving ways have
endeared her to all her classmates. She will
always be remembered with praise as one who
had a kind word for everybody.
Thus with a feeling of sadness we see her
depart from us and hope that she will be sucf

ALTHOUGH she is one of the youngest
members of our class, Rita seems to have
traversed mental roads which her elder sisters
have never trod. Her proficiency in school work
has merited the commendation not only of the
student body but of the faculty as well.
We are cognizant of Rita's many capabilities

ample scope in training the plastic minds of
eager children in a thorough knowledge of

LEAVING the memory as it were of an aroma

four years of scholastic training successfully.
Her gifts displayed so frequently may lead her
to an artistic career, perhaps even to the stage.

NAOMI is one of our versatile schoolmates,

seeks, she always obtains.
She is a sportswoman and executive both,
she possesses the accuracy of the artist and the

which her varied offices imposed upon her,
never marred her patience.
Well filled years therefore have procured

NOT long ago we found a portrait of a
typical Irish beauty, the eyes were flashing
blueg within them there lay a mischievous
twinkle in which we found a note of familiarity.
The very gaiety of the picture made it resemble
Mary.
Yet, an insight into the joyousness and laugh'
ter discloses something more, and infinitely liner.
She is a good scholar, her girlish simplicity
compels us to love her. Her optimistic cheer'
fulness has been a prominent factor in the pref

know her to understand.
Success to you, Mary, on whatever roads

FRANK and loyal, but so reticent and un'

there,-Helen has quietly won her way to a
high place in our regard. Three years of acquainf
tance have enabled us to discern her abilities.
Dominant among these is her literary accom'

Helen has chosen to become a teacher at the
close of her high school career and knowing her
as we do, we entertain no anxiety for her future

She leaves Archbishop Hughes Memorial

CLASS HISTORY
"History hath triumphed over time, which besides it nothing but
eternity hath triumphed."
Arrived at our enviable goal after a memorable flight, we wish you to accompany
us on a trip of retrospection. Our journey has been most hazardous yet it lacked not
pleasurable excitement.
Four years ago, "The Memorialitef' piloted by Captain Ambition, whirred
over the skyscrapers of Obstacle City, bound for the prosaic Port Success. The
class of Thirtyfone took passage on the ship, determined to enjoy the trip and profit
by every opportunity it offered.
According to the Chart, we discovered that the territory to be covered was
divided into four great sections-Freshman Valley, Sophomore Lowlands, Junior
Plateau and Senior Mountains. Undismayed, we engaged ourselves as mechanics to
repair faulty machines, to refuel the engine, to keep our motor well prepared for
emergencies. We, as helpers, were under the strict supervision of our officers, our
religious teachers, who saw to it that we were replenished with the necessary know'
ledge to carry us safely through the nimbus clouds of ignorance and inefficiency.
Many were the activities on board "The Memorialitef' many were the cares.
Since enjoyment was not the goal we were striving to attain, all soon settled down
to ship routine. The class of Thirtyfone began its daily task-studying the World
from above. How beautiful it all seemed!
Soon the terrestrial glory was to be obscured by dark clouds and terrific storms
-examinations. Then it was, that even a greater cooperation was needed between
crew and oH'lcers to avert disaster. Thus, the members of the class studied more
arduously to achieve honor, to hasten the ship to its destination.
We flew over Freshman Valley in the allotted time and were proud of our
accomplishment. Yet, there were further obstacles to be overcome. The class decided
that it must adopt a definite plan for guiding "The Memorialiten safely through these
periodical StOrmS. We reached a decision. Cooperation with the Officers, Directors,
and fellow mechanics, from the beginning was necessary. We must study faithfully
every night and keep the engine in perfect working order to insure a continuous, safe
passage.
This solution the class adopted, and examinations were accepted graciously and
passed successfully. Thus "The Memorialiteu soared over the second section, avoid-
ing air pockets of failed midfterms, and another beacon indicated that our journey was
half completed.
While passing over Freshman Valley and Sophomore Lowlands, we were
engaged in many activities. The crew was talented, and played willingly before an
appreciative audience. Many of the Melba type joined the Glee Club. Those who
were dramatically inclined sought and gained admission into the ranks of the Drama'
tic Club.
At this time, a new feature was organized by the class of Thirtyfone, under the
leadership of an efficient member of the Board of Directors. It was the Athletic Club
which engrossed the attentionof favorites of " the daily dozen." This activity was to
prove itself, in time, the most popular organization on board "The Memorialitef'
One Hundred Nm:
junior Plateau now appeared as strange territory. Here we made our first stop,
in order to take on new passengers who were to become a part of the class of Thirty'
one g-with joy we welcomed the Annex Girls.
As we progressed, many times we thought "The Memorialite" would be
lost. Often the engine faltered, but, due to the ability of our Moderators,remained
under control and was safely borne through atmospheric and other disturbances.
Nothwithstanding its many drawbacks, the flight over junior Plateau was a
pleasant one. The class of Thirtyfone was now prepared to face the most risky part
of its journey-to soar over the heights of Senior Mountains, the final stretch which
was to terminate in the hangar of Port Success.
Several novel experiences occurred on the last lap. Even the plane had to
accustom itself to its new position of dignity, the envy of all below. Floating far
above, its passengers assumed their newlyfconferred honor with perfect ease.
Hard and numerous were the final tasks laid upon our shoulders during this
period. Besides our usual duties, we had the selection of rings and pendants, nec'
essary adornments for our entrance to Port Success. We had to decide upon the style
of our long desired dresses and ac uire the sheepskin Without which we could not
disembark upon the fertile land of opportunity. Q
Our intelligentsia-perservering characters who had been admitted into the
Literary Club,-performed their exclusive duty of carrying on the work so nobly
begun, of editing "Spires" and the "Arbutus" under the direction of members of
the Board. What these journalists produced was a source of great edification, ad-
miration and pleasure to their comrades, who enjoyed reading the contributions and
loyally supported the staffs.
To adorn its already unusual list, replete with achievements, the class of
Thirtyfone inaugurated a new feature which was to acquaint us with the latest
capabilities of numerous artists. Under proficient guidance, the Art Club ornamented
'The Memorialite," which was soaring high with scarcely a deflection in its course.
The class of thirtyfone, imbued with a spirit of loyalty to "The Memorialite,"
manifested its sentiments by enthusiastic interest in the Athletic Club. So current
was this fervor and so lively was the determination to merit honor and glory for
our ship, that we were awarded the pennant for achieving the greatest number of
points during the season of activities. Prominent athletes of the class won their
numerals and letters for their services, which they have rendered to the various
teams. Glorious indeed were these achievements!
At last our long-sought land loomed in sight. It was time to descend to a soil
which augured stranger happenings than even Little America could offer. But the
class of Thirtyfone was prepared to face the trials which awaited it, as passage on
"The Memorialite" had familiarized it with various difficulties.
We scrambled from the cockpit and bid Adieu to the sturdy "Memorialite."
Soon it was ready to wend its way through the serene and glorious sky again, to seek
the citadels of Obstacle City,where it would be greeted by an eager and a new group
of shipmates, taking passage for Port Success.

AMBROSIAN CLUBS
Down from its special nook on the shelf of Memory, let us take the Ambrosian
Club's Album, across the very first page is written:
Thus far our history seems to be:
"The Mikado" and "Little Miss Nobody"
At one time "All at Sea"
Amid "The Chimes of Normandy."
Gently we turn the leaves of our precious volume. One by one the characters
return. There stands the Mikado, attended by his indomitable servant who,
to the enjoyment of an appreciative audience, is not the least perturbed by his
difficult task of shading with the aid of a parasol his master's irregularly covered
pate. Threelittle maids, escaped from a ladies' seminary, shuffle once more across
the pages. Withal, we revive a lovely picture.
' How can we supress an ecstatic exclamation of joy as we perceive the darling
little Miss Nobody and her disguised "Minstrel Boy" who has searched the whole
of New Amsterdam to find the owner of a locket like his own? Amidst the conf
gratulatory shouts of Dutch boys and girls, there stand little Miss Nobody, an
heiress in truth, and her wooer whose love she is now free to reciprocate. Thus
we leave them happily singing of a roseate future.
Next the good ship "Pinafore" sails into view, bearing many notables, not the
least among whom being the honorable Sir joseph Porter, K.C.B. and his majesty
the Mikadowho is attended by his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary
and Court Physician,combined in that inimitable personage-Pooh Bah. Confusion
reigns on the upper deck. The captain is in a quandary, while the grotesque def
fenders of the law, led by their robust Sergeant, dolefully declare that they have
failed in their duty, for Pirates have taken possession of the boat and the passengers
are to be held for ransom. All seems lost, when, lo! the Fairy Queen and her little
charges enter. With a wave of her wand she transforms the bold buccaneers into
dreamy poets. As such, they End worthy companions in the ladies on board and
grasp "a lirstfrate opportunity to get married with impunity."
A riot of color greets our eyes as we are transported to the picturesque French
village of Comville. In the company of the gayly costumed boys and girls we listen
once more to the legend of the old Chateau-"When the lost heir returneth, he
will clang the bell."
Softly, ever sweetly, throughout the portrayal of each operetta, come the
strains of an orchestra-our own orchestra. To those loyal members, no hour of
practice was too tedious to insure a perfect rendition of the most difficult music
laid before them. How dull and unattractive our performances would have been
without their vivacious accompaniment!
The curtain has fallen. Our reminiscences vanishand a more thoughtful mood
descends upon us. It is in this phase of emotion that we utilize this occasion of
affectionately dedicating our past achievements to our various moderators and
our only coach, Professor Heinroth,without whose generous interest our triumphs
would have been impossible.

"And, guided by its sweet perfume,
I found within a narrow dell
A trailing spring flower, tinted like a shell."
A flower was borng as a tiny bud, it was caressed gently by the gracious leaves
in whose midst it grew, and as it bloomed, all looked upon it with love. Such has
been the story of our little "Arbutus," and as the last petals of the flower are slipping
from our grasp, we treasure its memory, and revere the recollections of the hours
in which its fragrance permeated our lives.
Today, as we stand upon the threshold of another world, we realize how dear
it has been to us, this little paper, a representative of our youthful aspirations, a
connotation of the lofty principles of the Alma Mater to which we accord loving
sentiments of filial affection.
Through Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years, our budding literateurs
asserted themselves in prose and poetry, and to the delight Cor perturbation, as it
may bel of the editorial staffs, manuscripts from the "younger girls" flourished.
But the greatest pleasure arrived with the advent of the Senior year, when the
management of our Arbutus was placed in our own hands, and it was ours to collect,
to revise, to prepare material for the press. Its pages have become dear to us, its
literary standard has been our prideg and now, when the trailing arbutus is hidden
in the sylvan greensward, our own "Arbutus" continues on its way with its messages
of good will to all Cathedralites. Its hopes for the future are bright, and in its path
of literature we send heavenward a prayer for its continued progress.

ART CLUB
The year fourteen hundred liftyftwo witnessed the birth of Leonardo da Vinci,
sixteen hundred six greeted the arrival of Rembrandt while nineteen hundred
thirtyfone has welcomed, with no less pride, the recently founded Art Club of
Archbishop Hughes Memorial.
Scarcely had the spirit of art been borne on the wings of Fama, along the corf
ridors of Cathedral when "Mirabilie dictum as the Roman poet might have said,
one afternoon found assembled in the Art Room every possible Raphael and Van
Dyck. Enthusiasm! Spirit! "How soon shall we begin?,"queried each eager applicant.
Two weeks later every palette, every brush was so busily engaged that results
of which we might well be proud were produced.
One cannot easily forget the picturesque posters which greeted the students
on every side. They graphically and effectively advertised the Dramatic Club's
"Richelieu," and the Glee Club's "Chimes of Normandy." The publication of
"Spires" then claimed our undivided attention till the plates were Hnished. Upon
the completion of that work, our budding geniuses became absorbed in painting
greeting cards for Mother's Day.
Whatever achievements we may have attained, whatever accomplishments
the Art Club may have realized during its brief history-these have been brought
about through the efforts of our esteemed Principal and moderator to whom we
now extend our deepest and most sincere thanks.
In brief, this is our history. The Art Club has been most successful in mainf
taining the standards of the White and Gold. It is to you, our successors, that we
extend our earnest wishes for a favorable continuation of all its future undertakings.

OUR ATHLETIC CLUB
1930451! A wonderful year for our popular Athletic Club!
Organized in October under the able guidance of its moderator, this latest
activity has aroused unparalleled enthusiasm on the part of the student body.
From the very outset, the club's program has been active and varied, ambitious, too
for so young an organization.
The Basketball season opened with an interfclass tournament. School and class
songs appeared with amazing rapidity. Class spirit was at its highest pitch, as each
year boldly Haunted its colors. To the surprise of all, our Freshman friends reached
the finals, only to be outwitted by a splendid Senior Six.
Next came a thrilling summons,-Varsity tryouts! Who would be chosen?
The decision came soon. A team of recognized ability was selected, and a
period of instruction followed under a new lcoach, Miss Lillian Gorman. With
breathless interest all awaited the opening of the season. Enthusiasm ran high
all winter. Each game found our gymnasium a lively and colorful scene. Eager rooters
crowded the benches, window sills and staircases. A cheering squad of vigorous
Cathedralites led the rousing songs and cheers. Even our Faculty became enthused,-
did you witness their attendance at every performance?
Soon came Spring, the season when an athlete's fancy turns toward the base'
ball diamond. Here were new fields for our girls to conquer. Another interfclass
tournament ended on Field Day with a thrilling game between 3B and 4B.
Field Day! What a delightful treat that was to rejoice the hearts of the Athletic
Club members. This momentous event, the first of its kind in our history, will
long remain a cherished memory.
The awarding of numerals and monograms followed, and soon we, graduates,
were sadly bidding the organization that had grown so dear to us, "Adieu."
To what do we ascribe the remarkable success of our club? The answer may
be found in the generous support of our Principal and Faculty, the invaluable as-
sistance rendered by Miss Gorman, and last but not least, the loyalty of our class'
mates. With such assets as these, what organization could fail?
A bright future is assured this club, which already might justly echo Caesar's
famous "Veni, vidi, vici."

CUR DRAMATIC CLUB
As we terminate the final chapter in the illustrious Book of Memories, let
us reveal to you its pages, wherein are disclosed the novel experiences of the class
of 1931 in its alhliation with the Saint Genesius Dramatic Club.
Our time and efforts have been well expended. Freshman year with its hopes,
its dreams, its ambitions of newly initiated "high school girls," was brightened
by the presentation of Shakespeare's immortal comedy, "As You Like It." So eff
fective was it, that "Twelfth Night" was produced toward the close of the follow'
ing year. Then in our junior Year came a fanciful drama, an artistic little play which
struck a responsive chord somewhere down in our prosaic beings. "The Ivory
Door" truly left an indelible impression on us, so attractive was it in its colorful
charm, and the excellence of its portrayal. Christmas came once more with its
renewal of the celebration of the Birthday of the King and the presentation of
"The Gift of Love" easily eclipsed all previous Yuletide performances.
In February of this year, active work in Buliwer Lytton's "Richelieu" began
in earnest. The individuality of advertising posters, for which we were indebted
to the Art Club, proved a valuable asset in stimulating enthusiasm. General co'
operation resulted in a superb achievement, and, upon the completion of the splendid
play, unanimous praise greeted both players and Madame Anna Daly Fallon, our
directress, whose capabilities in dramatics have placed us in the first rank of amateurs.
Our glory has been shortflived, and now as we are about to sever our relations
with the club whose success formed so great a part in our lives we reflect momentarily
on those many happy hours spent in loyal good comradeship. With reluctance we
surrender our places to the undergraduates, fully cognizant that they will carry on
the splendid work so eiliciently inaugurated by our predecessors and so sacredly
cherished by us. We feel confident that they will never deteriorate to the rank
of mediocrites and will ever remember the Dramatic Club's great motto,
"There is no such word as fail."

THE
LITERARY CLUB
The Aladdin's lamp of literature has been oursg through the educational
vapors which have arisen from it, at each of our quests into its cultural idea, there
have come forth new and finer rnotivesg through the eyes of the poets, the novelists,
the essayists, we have been mentally transported into other realms of fancy, and the
knowledge we gleaned therein has been complete and satisfying.
This acquaintance with the literary geniuses of various ages did not occur
haphazardly. Though, as a result of our English work, we realized the wealth of
beauty that lies concealed in the many phases of literature, our enthusiasm was
not satiated. Our knowledge led us to seek a further development. Thus, with a
stimulus given for our progress in literary fields, the desire among the pupils of
our dear high school culminated in the formation of our Literary Club. It proved
to be a fruitful undertaking from the beginning, What a marvelous task it was to
encourage pupils to appreciate those valuable works that embody so much loftiness
of thought and charm of expression!
The first members of the club, with true "Memorialite" spirit, endeavored
to fan the flickering lights of literary knowledge, to remove the draught of modern
Ection that threatened to extinguish them entirely, and to nurse them into a steady
flame. Their number was few and their task difficult, but they persevered and finally
handed down to us the "literati" of '31, a club that has had its foundation firmly
established and most of its difhcult work completed.
Whatever success we have attained in this field can be attributed to our dear
sisters, especially our Principal, Sister Marie Annette and to our Moderator, Miss
M. Ripple. We have carried on the work so courageously begun by its first Qmembers,
retaining the sentiment with which the Club was organized and always conducted.
In Disraeli's words, we may say,
"Time, the great destroyer of other men's happiness, only enlarges the patrif
mony of literature to its possessorf'

PROPHECY
Alighting from a plane I entered a cave. Through winding, intricate labyrinths,
merging now into thousands of endless, dim passages, then past dark, secluded
caverns and finally peering forth into inky blackness, I hastily followed my guide,
a wretched, cackling dwarf with a shining, swinging lantern. My courage mingled
with a sense of utter desolation, as I harkened to the sonorous refrain of distant,
sensuous music. Then my weird conductor gratefully hissed:
"Lol Thou approachest the honorable Fates. Ask what thou wilt."
Instantly we reached a turning, and I beheld a spacious, tapestried hall, clouded
with incense and suffused with the ethereal glow of numerous hanging lamps.
Seated on a dais were the three sister Fates, the objects of my quest. In a commanding
tone one of these cried,
"Suppliant, thou seekest the futures of thy classmates? Patience, silence.
Only we hold the keys to days not yet inscribed in the annals of man."
With visible trepidation, I muttered a faint ,"Yes, most worthy one!"
Then came silence, a charged, miserable silence that was finally broken by a
harsh command.
"Bring sleep, Morpheus, I say, Morpheus, thy sleep!"
Slowly the sisters beckoned me and then from behind a partly raised curtain,
I gazed across a panorama of hills now deepening into valleys, of cities stretching
toward forests, and rivers gracefully losing themselves in the sea. Drowsiness ruled.
I was sinking, softly. Vaguely I imagined.
"Now thou behold their destiniesf' an eerie voice commanded.
A hurried impatient sigh, a muffled turning of leaves, and then I found myself in
the cabin of the TransfContinental passenger plane. Truly I was weary, for the
past hourwe had been awinging westward past the towering skyscrapers of New
York toward the suburban districts of New jersey and Pennsylvania. As yet, my
fellow passengers had found little or no time for congeniality and thus I was left
to my own resources. Suddenly, I was startled from my reverie by the familiar
voice of Mary Agnes Riley. After exchanging brief greetings, we fell into discussing
the lots chosen by our sister Cathedralites.
"Well, you see I'm quite a modern 'womanfaboutftownf " casually suggested
Mary Agnes, "while motoring upfstate, the other day I chanced to stop at a charmf
ing teafroom. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the two proprietors to be
none other than that happy pair, KathleenMcClaurey and EileenMons. We "talked
shop" and finally exchanged our knowledge about the class of '31. Both of them
reside in 'Shadysidef Margaret Brady, Muriel Mackenzie and Catherine Sheehy
are some of the prominent members of that 'just married set,' composed mostly
of our old Cathedral friends. You must remember them, why, there is Lucy Downing,
a rising young journalist, Mary Brennan, style's editor of 'Delineatorf Josephine
One Hundred Twentyffouf
Kiely, Gertrude Twiname, Mary Schepens, Betty Wolfe, America's leading inovelist,
and her inseparable chum Marie Curry."
"I felt so proud the other day," continued Mary Agnes, "when I heard judge
Ann McCluskey commend Johanna Sullivan and Mary Barrett for the stand
taken by them with regard to their clients. I just imagined that we were back
again in Cathedral after I had read the praise Mary O'Brien gave to Marie Mullane's
and Marguerite Hugue's book of Sonnets and to Mary Leurele's book on 'World
Problemsf In her preface, Mary thanked Professor Rita Carlin of Columbia, Prof
fessor Mary Caskin of Smith and Professor Eileen Curtin of Vassar."
"Yes, "I added, "I happened to see Mary Woolley's recent play that Irene
Mc Donnell, Helen Curtin, Rita Clymer and Veronica I. Murphy dramatized
under the direction of Frances Sullivan. Florence Long was publicity agent and
Philomena Lo Guidice and Hilda Miscione were the dress designers. By the way,
Eugenia Corbera and Anne Dowling gave it remarkable 'Writefups' in the 'Evening
Postf "
Suddenly we were interrupted by a smile of recognition. It was Mildred Vogel,
Winsome and cheerful as ever, Mildred was president of a brokerage in Wall Street
and incidentally an able politician.
"The last time I was at the legislature" she remarked, "it seemed like a Cath'
edral reunion. Catherine Farrelly astonished the entire assembly by her tenfhour
filibuster. She was seconded by her colleagues, Vivienne Fille, Sarah Culligan and
Althea Reid, whereas she was ably opposed by Margaret Hedlund and her followers,
Loretto Bruen, Veronica C. Murphy, Eleanor Cunningham and Margaret P.
O'Connor.
"Yes" she continued "Wall St. is teeming with the class of '31. Why, Martha
Leik, Mary Matzok, Grace Bacigalupo, Marion Woodland, Margaret Hickey,
Catherine Joyce, Sheila McHugh and Catherine Logan are familiar figures on the
Curb and in the Exchange."
"Glancing at the Sports' Edition, I noticed Catherine Curran's distinguished
articles on 'Women in Sportsf She mentioned Betty Fleck, Mary O'Connor, Helen
Stevenson as the greatest trio on the basketball court. Then too, she commented on
the records of Anna Hiro, Catherine Chrenko, Rita Oakley and Esther Brown, the
great golf champions of the country."
Mary Agnes then asked, "Did you happen to read Helen Henderson's splendid
editorial in the 'New York Times' on 'True Welfare Work?' Helen paid a grace'
ful tribute to Alice Garvey, Mary Hyland, Mary Gately, Catherine Taylor, Anne
judge, Sebastiano Marino, and Helen Donnelly for their wonderful nursing during
the great mine disaster." V
"By the way" I supplemented, "you must have heard that Virginia Brink, Rita
Walsh, jean Dickson, Elsie Cormier, Margaret Davis and Mary Rogers have
opened up a kindergarten in White Plains."
"Yes," continued Mildred, "Westchester likes education. Mary A. Flynn is
experimenting in spreading Civic Repertory Theatres, together with Rita McCoy,
Margaret Horn and Marion Tyddf' 4
One Hundred Twenty fwc
"Incidentally," I remarked, "during my travels in France I was greeted by
Gertrude Beruard, Mary Rice and Mary Parker, French correspondents for the
Associated Press. I chanced to meet Muriel Reutter and Naomi Clapp in the Louvre
successfully sketching the "Mona Lisa." We started chatting and they enlightened
me as to the whereabouts of some of the other artists. It seems that Lia Bertoni and
Elizabeth Potter are illustrators for a fashionable magazine, while Betty Brown has
just finished the pictures for Dorothy Feerick's latest novel, "Big Money."
"Really you can not imagine how small this world is," confided Mary Agnes,
"why, in one afternoon I saw Margaret Henchy over television, Constance Horan
and a sextet composed of Dorothy Rafferty, Eleanor Landy, Anne Weir and Mary
Flynn, Catherine Takacs and Kathleen Egan played. However, Philomena Tucci,
Katherine Trier, and Mary O'Donnell have turned physiologists and are all
popular over television. Catherine O'Rourke, Dorothea Taylor, Marie McLaughlin,
Evelyn Bardes and Mary Mellor are all famous for their bedftime stories over that
indispensible invention-'the radio.' "
Suddenly, a tanned sportswoman approached our circle. Who could mistake
Virginia Wilmoth in the role of an aviatrix? Eagerly she contributed her part to the
story of the class of '31.
"Yes, while recently flying over Arkansas, I chanced to alight in a large Held.
I sought the owners and was greeted by the smiling faces of Margaret Maguire,
Mary Cleary, Anne Myhan and Lucille Lee who are progressive agriculturistsf'
"While in Shanghai," she added, "I met Helen Hughes, Mary Ryan, Gwendolyn
Lee and Catherine Smart, members of Cook's Travelling Agency. It seems Cather'
ine is a regular correspondent with Anna Higgins and Mary Vaughan, who are at
present engaged in exploding the Einstein Theory on the top of the Alps."
"Recently I made a tour of inspection in Julia Richman High School," inf
terrupted Mildred, "I was greeted by Marcella Kuhner, who is head of the Def
partment of Latin and is so ably assisted by Margaret Colgan, Marion Bickner, and
Claire Lamersg Mary Curry, Majorie Fleming and Margaret Ryan are in the French
Department in the same building."
"Last month," Mary Agnes told us, "Ethel Henry invited me to spend the week'
end at her home on Long Island. While there we were discussing the Class of '31.
Martina Brennan, Mary Freehill and Juliette Lippe are the architects who designed
the new "Times Building," built under the supervision of Mary Farmer and Mary
Kelly." -
Again Mildred smiled, Isabella Hastings, Viola Maistre, and Kathleen Leen
are congenially located as dieticians for Schraftsg you must recall Helen Roche's
and Mary McShane's aptitude for Irish dancing-well, both of them are now happily
married in the Emerald Isle, They write to Katherine Knowd and Catherine Tracy,
elhciency experts, that their homes are a veritable oasis for Cathedralites travelling
abroad, particularly Rose McBride, Dorothy O'Connor and Elizabeth Cowan, all
chemists studying in Germany."
One Hundred Twentysix
"Yes," I managed to add, "recently I was sent to interview Mary Cos rove,
Florence Buckley, Mary Mayowetz, and Mary Fanning, who had just returnedg from
their explorations in the Arctic. Their chief engineers were none other than Helen
Cleveland and Johanna Nolan while Jeanette Leddy and Helen Gorey proved to be
perfect wireless operators."
"Speaking of explorations," Virginia quietly remarked, "you must remember
that Kathryn Spiess, Anne Coby, Madeline Nash, Margaret Brennan and Rose
Matera are now engaged in excavating the tombs of the cliff dwellers in New Mex-
ico.
"Lately I became domesticated," chuckled Mary Agnes appreciatively, "while
looking for a cook book I chanced upon that of Ellen McDonnell and Eleanor Mc
Donald."
"Yes," continued Mary Agnes, " '31 is proud of Frances Quirk, Elizabeth
Watson, Anna Carroll and Mary Mullen, they are all teaching in Cathedral now.
I happened to visit Frances and she is still smiling over Marion Scanlon's and Eleanor
Chiappino's mischievous youngsters.
Catherine Wynne, Alice Toohey, Margaret Schoff and Catherine Sweeney
are all popular interior decorators in Chicago" concluded Mary Agnes.
"Stranger events than that have happened," I remarked, "why I'm not usually
interested in Science but Frida Hofstetter's and Mary Mc Mahon's book on 'The
Elements of Physics' is wonderful. Mildred Hamel's essay on the 'Essentials of
Music' is considered a masterpiece, also."
"Have you heard the amazing news, I almost forgot it?" asked Mildred. "Why
Margaret Stewart, Mary Martin and Margaret Glasson are operating a distinctive
detective agency."
Mary Agnes smiled, "Margaret Galvin, Dorothy O'Connor and Mary Mc
Guire have merged and are owners of a chain of miniature golf courses. Marjorie Kelly
and Katherine Saunders are ardent sympathizers of the "No Homework Movementg
whereas Catherine McGarry and Viola Laird are proud inventors of a mechanical
device for washing classroom boards."
"Perhaps you don't realize it," added Virginia, "but Mary O'Shea and Hida
Tanaka are-executives at the airport while Veronica Murphy is our greatest aviatrixf'
Now we were approaching the beacons of San Francisco. Slowly, circling down'
ward, the giant bird gracefully glided into the hangar. We shook hands, we, four of
'31, each with a ring of that poignant verse in her heart, "To know, to love, to part."
I was startled, yea, even fearful as the three sister Fates hastily veiled the misty
silhouettes of Destiny and gruffly chanted,
"Follow they guide, follow they guide."
Blinded with the soft glow of day, I hastily stumbled through fields, ethereal
in the gloaming twilight of a spring evening.

"The heavens are telling the glory of God,
The wonder of his works displays the firmamentf'
On the occasion of the formal dedication of the Papal radio station, HfVfJ by
our Holy Father, Pius XI, these famous words were graphically illustrated. On that
momentous day the Supreme Pontiff called the whole world to witness the manif
festation of God's power and majesty by quoting from Holy Scripture, "Audite
caeli quae loquor, audiat terra verba oris mei !"
February 12, 1931 'will long be remembered in the annals of history, not only
by the Catholic clergy and laity, but by the whole world. On that day, men, women,
and children regardless of race or creed, harkened with strange, unanalyzed emotions
to a voice-the voice of a great ruler, the voice of the great white Shepherd of the
Church, the voice of the most important man in the world of religion. Even skeptics,
no matter how bitterly they had scoffed at the Pope, were compelled to reverence
and respect the owner of that voice. How could it be otherwise, when he is the
chosen one of Christ, His vicar on earth?
It was indeed a colorful scene that attracted the eye of the visitor in Vatican
City on the occasion of the Pontiflqs address. The advent of the Pa al party was
heralded by a fanfare of trumpeters. The official yellow and white ofp the pontifical
arms mingled with the purple of the monsignori and the white robes, and the red and
gold headdress of the Pope. The ancient and modern worlds seemed to have been
blended in the picturesque blue, red, and yellow uniforms of the Swiss guards
and the slender aerials of the radio unit. It was an event that would stir the imaginaf
tion of even the most humble artist.
The Pope, enthroned on a richly upholstered chair before the microphone,
spoke in Latin for more than fifteen minutes. His words thrilled his millions of
listeners, although many of them were unable to understand the speech in its ori inal
form. The chief feature of the demonstration lies in the fact that the voice ofg the
Supreme Pontiff could be distinctly heard in all corners of the globe. About an hour
elapsed before the Englishfspeaking audience had the added pleasure of hearing
Monsignor Spellman, an attache of the Secretary of State of the Vatican, reproduce
the address in their native tongue. '
The majority of the chief broadcasting centers in the United States used all their
facilities to bring the program to the American nation. This was a gesture of courtesy
greatly appreciated by our Catholic people. Few foreign stations were as fortunate
as they in " picking up" the discourse.
As the words of Pius XI traveled over the ether waves, they were crossed by
waves of love and hate, respect and resentment. There are those of other faiths
who do not yet understand why Peter speaks with authority, while their own min'
isters are continually disagreeing among themselves on some question of faith or
morals. We can almost imagine one of them saying, "Why should it be given to him
to speak as one having power? Why is it that to him alone the whole world listens?"
The words of God seemed to permeate the air as that epochal event was taking place,
"He that heareth you, heareth Me. He that despiseth you, despiseth Me."
One Hundred Twenty nine
Kings, rulers, scientists and many of the world's great personalities have been
heard in many lands through the instrumentality of the microphone, "but never has
the cohesiveness of mankind had so striking a manifestation, giving an incalculable
impetus to those cementing processes which shall yet bind all nations together in a
covenant of peace and holy fellowship, proclaiming one God, one law, one element,
and one farfoff divine event to which the whole creation moves."
Over a thousand years ago, Christ said to His Apostles, "Go teach ye all
nations." His followers were simple, unassuming men and to many this command
seemed preposterous. Education, intelligence and a deep understanding of human
nature were necessary if the light of God's truth were to be carried to regions where
ignorance and iniquity prevailed. But God was not unmindful of His creatures,
and through His Providence the miracle of tongues has been accomplished.
As time progressed and the mode of living changed, the Church remained
steadfast to the fundamental teachings of her Founder, but some of the ecclesiastical
laws have been modified in order to adjust themselves to modern conditions. Conf
trary to the general belief of nonfCatholics, the Church does not fear progress, rather,
she has done all in her power to promote advancement in science and the arts. Many
critics say that the Church is antiquated, that she fears science because it will event'
ually cause her downfall.
It must have been a sad blow to these critics when the Catholic clergy not
only recognized the radio by introducing it into many of the churches in order to
broadcast Christian belief to all the world, but also laid plans for the installation of an
official station in the Vatican itself. To Catholics everywhere, the day on which
HfVfJ, constructed under the direction of Senator Guglielmo Marconi, was inf
augurated was one of the most glorious in the history of the Church.
Of the many beautiful passages in Holy Scripture relating to the reception of
the word of God, one seems to have a special bearing on this event. On one occasion
referring to Himself as the Good Shepherd, Christ said "Other sheep I have that
are not of this fold-they shall hear My voice." Truly they have heard His voice!
Again, our shepherd, Pius XI, the spiritual descendant of the selffnamed Good
Shepherd, has called to his flock, and they have heard him. He did not speak at ran'
dom, every word he uttered had a deep significance. He addressed himself not only
to those who have never forsaken God, but also to all heretics and unbelievers. He
reminded them that it is the earnest wish of all Catholics that all outside the true
Church may one day recognize the fallacy of their beliefs and that, in reality, there
may be but "one flock and one shepherd."
Years from now the radio may suffer oblivion, yet the memory of that day
on which the sovereign Pontiff addressed mankind will live forever. One of the
contemporaneous newspapers has defined it Httingly as, "Something to stir the
imagination, to give one a sense of the continuity and the variety of the human
story, to endow the inventiveness of our time with a new beauty, and to clothe
one's faith with an expanding power, is to be found in the great event, when from
the Vatican, the Pope spoke over the radio to his people and to the world."

"A great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes and
peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed
with white robes and palms in their hands-CApocalyppse VIII 91.
"The Litany of the Saints is not a sealed book of the dead pastg it is a never'

added to those illustrious names an inscription that attests the faith of North Amer'
ica's early missionary heroes, an inscription engraved in the blood of martyred Jesuit
priests. Proudly do we claim them, our first Saints, eight in all, joques, Lalement
Brebeuf among them and fervently do we hope that they shall head a mighty host
whose name will be legion. A
Today, with confidence and persistence, we Catholics of America are fostering
another canonizationg we would see Elizabeth Bayley Seton, triumphant with the
halo of a saintg we desire to witness her formal installation as a member of God's
blessed, and know her to be acknowledged and invoked by the Christian world.
Well may we urge the cause of beatirication of the foundress of our Order of
the Sisters of Charity in the United States, endeavoring to secure some little token
for her, in loving memory of our weighty indebtedness. It was she who opened a
new avenue to education, to purity of life, and who blazed the way for countless
others who would renounce the world, seeking perfection in silent sacrifice and conf
stant labor beneath the standard of our beloved Nazarene.
Mother Seton proved to be the spiritual inspiration and consolation of many
while on earth. This may be shown very strikingly even in our own time. At the
recent unveiling of a tablet in memory of this holy woman in Saint Peter's, Barclay
Street, on the ninth of May, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt sent the following
message:
"In my childhood days, my father often told me of Mother Seton, for she was
a very close connection of the Roosevelt family, and her sisterfinflaw was, I think,
my greatfaunt. Her distinguished nephew, Archbishop Bayley was a first cousin
of my father, James Roosevelt, and they were very close friends.
In our family we have traditions of the saintly character of Mother Seton."
We too would honor her under the title of glorious patroness and in the future
recognize her as our first native North American Saint.

MoDERN LITERATI
In recent years, a certain faction of pessimists has arisen, asserting that the
standard of literature maintained throughout the world is being gradually, but perf
ceptibly lowered. They have attempted to prove this allegation by pointing, among
other things, to the wide use of free verse in poetry and to the growth of belief in
imagery, that is, the conviction that poetry should primarily present an image or
picture.
However, many of our presentfday writers, poets and dramatists have refuted
such a sweeping statement by their ingenious productions. In English literature,
Alice Meynell and Francis Thompson are prominent figures. Above all, they were
Roman Catholic poets, and, though of different temperament and expression, in inf
tensity of religious experience, their compositions might be considered of
parallel value. Alice Meynell had a peaceful career, devoid of many hindrances which
confronted other struggling poets. This tranquillity is reflected strikingly in her
poetry. In one of her best works, "The Shepherdessf' the delicacy of her art is
easily discerned:
"She walks-the lady of my delight-
A shepherdess of sheep
Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white,
She guards them from the steepg
She feeds them on the fragrant height,
And folds them in for sleep."
Francis Thompson, a contemporary and lifelong friend of Alice Meynell,
was at first inclined toward great complexity in his poetical strivings. Later, he
composed songs concerning love and nature but his prominent manuscripts were
elaborate or highly embellished odes. The most sublime and hauntingly beautiful
of these is the wellfknown "Hound of Heaven" in which he relates his mystical
experience with the Divine Being, whom he pictures as pursuing him until he yielded
and became one with Him. Of all the lines in English poetry, these are perhaps the
most forceful and awefinspiring:
"Up vistaed hopes I sped,
And shot, precipitated,
Adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears,
From those strong Feet that followed, followed after.
But with unhurrying chase,
And unperturbed pace,
Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,
They beat-and a Voice beat
More instant than the Feet-
'All things betray thee, who betrayest Me."'
One Hundred Thirty-two
Among those of British descent who have chosen America as a scope for
their literature, Gilbert K. Chesterton ranks first in importance. He is a novelist
and poet of distinction, and a journalist by profession, yet he is most widely known as
an essayist. Although a fiery democrat and a despiser of aristocracy, he is far from
being a socialist. In his writing, he revels in antitheses, indentities and absurdities.
This genius substantiates his contentions with facts, in an unornamented and logical
manner, albeit hidden under an exterior veil of subtle humor.
One of Chesterton's widelyfread books is characteristically entitled "The
Defendant." True to its title, the collection of essays endeavors to point out the
beneficial qualities of dime novels, immense public statues, unnecessary information
in newspapers, heraldry and a score of other nonsensical trivialities. Cheap fiction,
he argues, is written to amuse or to thrill, and since amusement and romance are
legitimate desires in man, why compare "Hamlet" with such novels? Chesterton
also denounces those who invariably call good things bad, and cites his belief that
the only definite evil existing in the world tofday is the ability of a few rich men
to collect God's acres into their vast estates and thus deprive the majority of prof
perty. But this book does not outrank "The Victorian Age in Literature," published
in 1913, in which he reviewed conspicuous writers like Carlyle, Arnold, Cobbett
and Mill and made distinctions which will be of permanent strength in English
criticism.
In the Held of Irish literature, we find a distinguished poet-Padraic Colum, a
protege of George William Russell, whose verse ranks high by reason of its sterling
honesty and purity of observation. He has gathered the greater part of his material
from experience and from his lengthy residence in Ireland. His pictures are principally
of peasants at work, of aged women by firesides and of "jeunes filles" spinning. All
are remarkable for the truth which predominates them. Padraic Colum is a realist
and his plays deal with the conflicts which rage within the very beings of typical
Irish peasants. Always natural, never stilted, his characters appeal to all. His best
play, "Thomas Muskerry," written in 1910, relates the sacrihces which Muskerry
willingly made for his family and though he dreams of happy independence when he
shall retire from his position as master of a workhouse, these dreams never come
true for his greedy relatives hedge him in till he dies of utter neglect. The pathetic
portrayal draws aside the curtain of ignorance and reveals in all its immensity the
problem of family life in Ireland. In 1922, Padraic Colum received an honorable
mention in "Poetry" for his "Swift's Pastoral." .
Among our great American poets, Edwin Arlington Robinson stands fore'
most. Since the Nineties he has struggled against dire poverty in New York. It was
from' Thomas Hardy and George Cramme that he copied his strong adherence to
common life but soon after he went on to develop his own individual style. In all
One Hundred Thirty three
his writings, he seeks to convey the vanity and futility of human life and pictures
baffled humanity stumbling, wending its vain way to destruction. In a humorous
mood he tells how Miniver Cheevy yearned for the romantic past:
"Miniver cursed the commonplace
And eyed a khaki suit with loathing,
He missed the medieval grace
Of iron clothing."
Robinsons poems are often difficult to comprehend, yet they are replete with
beauty beyond the attainment of almost any living poet. The number of characters
he has created essentially sets him apart from his rivals, but his chief characteristic
rests in his combination of profundity and preciseness. Among his best works are
"The Master, "Ridhard Cory" and "Ben Jonson Entertains a Man from Stratfordf'
In 1921, he received the Pulitzer Prize of one thousand dollars for his "Collected
Poems" which was regarded as the book of the most enduring value to American
literature published during that year, and with this award, he gained recognition as
a great American poet.
Francis Carlin, termed "The New Floor-Walker Poet Genius" is so called
because he lives two distinct lives-one as a poet, the other as a floor superintendent
in R. H. Macy's store. Though born in America, he has a deep affection for Ireland
and a passion for beauty which, when they blend, produce most harmonious music.
"The Provinces" is an excellent illustration:
"O God, that I
May arise with the Gael
To the song in the sky
Over Inisfail!
Ulster, your dark
Mold for meg
Munster, a lark
Hold for me!
Connaght, a caoine,
Croon for meg
Leinster, a mean
Stone for me!
O God, that I
May arise with the Gael
To the song in the sky
Over Inisfail!"
Another exemplar of the worth of modern literature is Carl Sandburg. It was
among the factories and railroads of the Middle West that this son of a Swedish
immigrant found themes for his poetry, thus proving himself a poet of the new order
of life in the United States. As such he is the voice of the tumultuous elements in
One Hundred Thinyffour
American existence. Remarkable, indeed, is his boldness and challenging attitude
toward adults contrasted with his tenderness towards children. In "Winter Milk"
he shows this sympathy toward the young when he says of his own daughter:
"There are dreams in your eyes, Helga,
Tall reaches of wind sweep the clear blue.
The winter is young yet, so young.
Only a little cupful of winter has touched your lips."
Though an advocate of free verse, he employs all the beauty of words, of which
he is master. Describing Chicago, he says of her:
"Hog Butcher for the world,
Tool makers, Stackers of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler,
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders."
An excellent example of his power to summon beautiful words to express
his emotions is given in such lines as these:
"In the loam we sleep,
In the cool, moist loam,
To the lull of years that pass,
And the break of stars.
From the loam, then,
The soft warm loam
We riseg
To shape of rose leaf,
Of face and shoulder,
We stand, then.
To a whiff of life
Lifted to the silver of the sun
Over and out of the loam
A day."
One of Sandburg's chief traits is his ability to combine the native and local
in him which evolves poems like "Chicago" with the universal, which helps him
to respond to poetical inspirations. It was in 1920 that his "Smoke and Steel" was
awarded the Poetry Society Prize.
Since we can now boast of so profuse and varied a selection of literati, with
their beauty of thought, force of expression, sterling honesty of verse and realism,
it would seem that the standard of literature has been raised and its banner un'
furled to float above a world which seeks true poetry, mighty drama and choice
prose.

REALISM
Throughout the history of literature there has never been a more marked ten'
dency toward a democratic style than at the present. The influence of popular educaf
tion has led to a striking and fundamental change in contemporary literature which
distinguishes it from the historical type.
The modern trend shows diversification. The reading public is now too large
to interest itself in one dominant phase, and so there has developed a literary movef
ment in the last decade of the nineteenth century which has catered to the wishes of
the populace and failed to display any decisive direction. However, just as roman'
ticism characterized the early nineteenth century and classicism the early eighteenth,
so now in the present confusion of literature there may be discerned one tendency
which, if developed, may prove to be the distinguishing impulse of the twentieth
century.
This tendency is realism. The interest of the vast reading public in realities,
facts, has determined this new trend. Whereas formerly a man of letters achieved
success by "leaving something so written to aftertimes that they should not willingly
let it die" QMiltonj-today, the greatness of a writer depends upon his ability to
retain the attention of the masses for a few years instead of a "fit audience though
few" for generations. Accordingly, the introduction of realism in contemporary writ'
ings has broken down the stately conventions of literary minds of the past. The
modern novel, for instance, mirrors life more intimately than ever before. It symbolizes
realities without camouflage. In modern English literature the term suggests without
dispute Galsworthy, Arnold Bennett and Sheila KayefSmith.
Galsworthy is a realist in every sense of the word. A humanitarian by temper'
ament and a lawyer by training, all his work is done with a definite social purpose in
View of which his skill and technique serve as a means. His satire is unconcealed as,
also is his sympathy. Class distinction, he recognizes as the cardinal fact in society.
Hence his novels deal chiefly with class opposition. He is, however, even more
successful than others in preventing the didactic element in his novel from over-
powering its quality.
"Every grouping of life and character has its inherent moral," he says, and
according to his own views, it is the artist's business 'iso to pose the group as to
bring the moral poignantly to the light of day."
Galsworthy was slow in reaching the heights of artisitc greatness and the first
recognition of his genius did not come till 1906, at the publication of "The Man of
Property" which really was the Erst of a series of novels, that, taken together, com'
pose a unique volume "The Forsyte Saga" proper, beginning with "The Man of
Property" and ending with "To Let," traces the varying fortunes of the Forsytes
from 1886 to 1920. The later series beginning with "The White Monkey" begins
its action in 1922 and continues the tale of the younger generation up to the death
of Soames Forsyte in 1926. This complete set may now be found under the title,
"A Modern Comedy."
It only remains to be seen that so skilled a novelist cannot help but give evidence
of that adeptness in his writings, and indeed, in recognition of his abilities, it seems
more than probable that generations to come will accept "The Forsyte Saga" not
On Hundred Thirtyfsix
only for the unusual theme of the story but also as a masterpiece of fictional art.
Galsworthy's nomination to the Order of Merit in succession to Thomas Hardy
in 1929 gave authoritative recognition of his supremacy among the men of letters of
our times.
Almost inseparably linked with Galsworthy is Arnold Bennett. It was only
after years of apprenticeship that Bennett emerged, a novelist of distinction. As a
background for his works, he immortalized the "Five Towns" in which he lived, and
proceded to recount the lives of the inhabitants with an unsparing realism which
reminds one of the realists of France. The monotony of such an environment is
artistically relieved by the representation of characters of real worth.
Bennett combines both realism and romance in a most unusual and lifelike man'
ner. The "Old Wives' Tales" published in 1908 is an example of this. By tracing the
careers of two sisters of different aspirations and temperament, he succeeds in
his purpose. In the "Clayhanger" trilogy he again associates two characters of
opposite tendencies, the faithful realist, Edwin, and the romanticist, Hilda.
Bennett, however, attained the peak of success when he wrote "Buried Alive,"
a skit that he has never excelled. This is a story of the almost supernatural experf
ience of a man surviving himself, attending his own funeral and enjoying his post'
humous fame. His strange experience, nevertheless, is brought on by the most natural
means and does not detract from the author's realisitc structure.
Now, quite naturally, we come to Miss Sheila KayefSmith who owes much
to the example of Galsworthy and Bennett, in their interpretation of character by
all possible means.
In the main, Miss Smith has confined herself to the realms of Sussexg indeed,
she is the spokesman of those simple, hardfworking folk whose lives are the embodif
ment of simplicity and nobility. It was she who first focused the attention of the
outside world on Sussex, on those "who live close to the soil and are a part of it."
Miss Smith's ability to discern beauty in the rudest of Nature's creations, has
elevated her above the usual position of novelist. Her books constitute a world of
reality and give us a sketch of true romance-the rugged romance of the soil.
The most significant of her works are "The Tramping Methodist," "Starbrace,"
"Green Apple Harvest"and"Sussex Gorge." The latter, an epic of the land, published
in 1916, was readily granted the place of honor among the novels of its time. In the
language of realism, itis "the power of a tiny plot of earth over the ceaseless strivings
of one man."
Despite her genius for portraying persons and scenes as they really are, Sheila
KayefSmith did not produce her greatest novel until 1922. "Joanna Godden' is a
masterpiece of literary creation and portrayal. No character in art or literature
could ever equal this one. Traits of both weakness and steadfastness are combined
in the heroine. It is the tale of a girl who, in behalf of her sister's interests, attempts
to banish true love from her heart only to find that love cannot be swerved by or'
dinary mortals.
Miss Smith has indeed well deserved the diadem of honor that is hers, for
her works, like those of Galsworthy and Hardy, have been most significant in ushering
in this new reign in literature-the reign of realism.

MIDfTOWN NEW YORK
"Architecture is frozen music"-Schelling
New York is truly a city of extremes. She has justly earned this appellation
by her blending of contrasts in the formation of one mighty metropolis, the most
unique in the world. This may be readily seen by an observation of the architecture
around us.
Of all the modern municipal structures, "the skyscraper," by preeminence,
is the famous Empire State, called the Smith Building in honor of its president,
our internationally known exfgovernor Alfred E. Smith. Opened officially on the
first of May of this year, it received its just recognition as the highest building in
the world. It represents the work of skilled architects, engineers, scientists, mechanics
and workmen, and stands, majestic in its entirety, a monument to the achievements
of our generation.
Reaching twelve hundred feet into the air, its white brick and aluminum
reflecting the light, its panes glittering in the sun, it furnishes an ideal setting for
modern business. From the completeness of its rocky foundation to the mooring
mast on its tower, it more than satisfies the exacting demands of the present age.
Within walking distance of the Empire State, we find Saint Patrick's Cathedral,
whose cornerstone was laid by our illustrious Archbishop john Hughes on August
15, 1858,'but whose splendid structure was only completed and dedicated in 1879.
The edifice is done in the inimitable Gothic style, and with its grey granite walls,
intricate, pointed arches and magniicent stainedfglass windows, it is "the cynosure
of neighboring eyes." The twin spires whose "silent fingers point to heaven,"
are sharply outlined against the sky in beautiful immobility, exhorting us to look
up,-up to God.
The interior is sublime in its solemnityg the long, shaded aisles, mysterious
recesses and vaulted ceiling are typical of the old French Cathedrals. Everything
about the sacred precincts seems so foreign to bustling New York. The fitful gleam
of the sanctuary lamp, the stillness and sense of security make this house of God
a world apart.
Not only do these two buildings differ in architecture and atmosphere, but
also in purpose. The Empire State was erected as a memorial to commercialism,
Saint Patrick's Cathedral as a shrine consecrated to the worship of God. Yet there
is an indefinable connection between the two that a contemplative soul cannot
fail to grasp. Both these artistic conceptions were realized because of the guidance
and inspiration of the Great Creator. These masterpieces of beauty also exemplify
that the material and spiritual life of man are so closely interwoven, that it is by
the power and superiority of the spiritual that the material may triumph.

F AREWELL
The aereal castles of youth rise majestically in the skies of the Future,
with eagerness and ambition do we, pilots, direct our little ship as it pursues
its winged flight toward strange and novel spires.
Storms and tribulations perhaps lie before us. Through calm and
turmoil, through sun and wind, through light and dark, our plane may
be destined to wend its way, with trepidation we, its guides, begin to
fathom the mysteries of the life before us. Yet, with each tinge of sadness
comes a new sweetness-a germination of love for the atmosphere we so
reluctantly leave.
One day, our little craft will pause awhile, and, in retrospection, its
passengers will recall the cherished ideals they have maintained, the nimf
bus clouds they have weathered, the successes and triumphs which they
have garnered. Then, as the beauteous melody of youth is poured forth
in a last glorious strain, our little plane shall stopgto prepare its passenf
gers for another great Flight, when it shall bear us forward, not as a class,
but singly, to receive the approbation of the Master Pilot in the Harbor of
little ships of fancy.
