S C a z a r et h, i n et e e n Eighteen Graduate in has proved herself a warm supporter by the school or its Alumnae. We wish her greater ones to follow. Music Course M. Genevive Keenan, a graduate of the classical course, Class of 1916, of Nazareth Academy, has completed the prescribed course in music in Piano-forte and is thus qualified for graduation from the Music Course of the Academy, having also earned an Advanced Regents diploma from the University of the State of New York. The public Recital given before graduation, has been arranged for an evening in early June. In the musical and dramatic activities of the school, Genevive has always been prominent, and of any work that has been undertaken congratulate her on her success and Before Christ left the Citadel of Light. To tread the dreadful way of human birth. His shadow sometimes fell upon the earth And those who saw it wept with joy and fright. “Thou art Apollo, than the sun more bright!’’ They cried. “Our music is of little worth; But thrill our blood with thy creative mirth Thou god of song, thou lord of lyric might!” O singing pilgrim! who could love and folow, Your lover Christ, through even love’s despair, You knew within the cypress-darkened hollow The feet that on the mountain are so fair. For it was Christ that was your own Apollo, And thorns were in the laurel on your hair. —Joyce Kilmer. Twenty-five

© NDER the above symbol of the Red Cross Workers, Nazareth has been this year enrolled, and we ar every one of us, members of the Junior Red Cross Society. Representatives from our school attended the great patriotic rally of Junior Red Cross members held at Convention Hall in February. We have each pledged ourselves to make, save, and give something for the Red Cross. The making we are doing in our sewing classes, in which we sew on articles needed by the boys whether in the trenches or the hospitals. We all save as much as we can by eliminating all unnecessary waste in food, and by refraining from needless expenditure. Some of the money thus saved we gave to the Red Cross fund. Besides, we are all knitting, as you have only to pay us a visit during free time, to see. Besides our Red Cross activities, Nazareth has been doing other patriotic work this year. When the Second Liberty Loan was floated, we subscribed for a $500 bond for the school; and our Liberty Day celebration was an event to be remembered in the school. —L. Fisher. Twenty-seven
