N a zar etli, Nir eteer N i r e t e e r Graduates in Music T the Commencement Exercises this year Nazareth Academy will present three graduates from the Music Course: Marie E. Magin, of 312 Bernard Street, Edith G. Norman, 625 Linden Street, and Gertrude M. Paille of Greece, N. Y. Marie E. Magin graduated from the Classical Course of Nazareth Academy in June, 1917. Gertrude Paille is also a Nazareth Classical graduate of the class of 1918. The three young ladies have completed the prescribed course in Piano-forte and are expecting to receive also a State diploma in music as the result of the coming Regents Examination. The customary Recital given by the graduates in music will occur in the early part of June. It will doubtless be an occasion to afford special delight to lovers of music, since it will represent the best efforts of these highly talented young women. Dear home of girlhood, I fortell, From what I feel at this farewell. That, wheresoe’er my steps may tend, And whensoe’er my course shall end, My soul will cast the backward view, The longing look alone on you, Thus, while the sun sinks down to rest Far in the regions of the west, A lingering light he fondly throws On the dear hills where first he rose. —Wordsworth.

UR1NG the past year two GovernmewMvar loans have been floated, one the Liberty Loan, and the otln the Victory Loan. When each and every individual was called n»n to help out in the great crisis, a situation unparalleled in history, sincVthe lives and destinies of nations were in the balance, Nazareth took her stand as a unit. Patriotic It needed no urging on the part of anyone to impress upon these girls the need of prompt action at such a perilous time. Every student of Nazareth was represented in the great drives. The response to both these loans has been very gratifying. A bond of one hundred dollars was bought by the Senior class. The Junior Class subscribed to a fifty dollar bond; the Sophomore to a hundred dollar bond. A bond of two hundred dollars was purchased by the other classes of the school, fifty dollars of which was contributed by Division A, while B and C Divisions combined bought a fifty dollar bond and twenty-five dollars worth of War Savings stamps. First Year Commercial classes bought fifty dollars worth of War Savings as did also the pupils of the Grammar Department. The spirit of patriotism evoked on these occasions, the love that each student showed for her country, was a cause of just pride in the heart of every student of Nazareth. —Bessie D. Cronin.
