X HIIIT HlllH SllHlllll in the llllUlllllU . .. OTRE DAME l-HGH SCHOOL is just four years old. When the authorities of the diocesan schools found, in l934, that a new school was necessary to relieve the overcrowded girls' high schools, the Notre Dame Academy was found ready and admirably suited for the undertaking. The Superiors of the Sisters. of Notre Dame de Namur cooperated willingly with the desire of Monsignor John J. Bonner that the Catholic girls of Delaware County should be sent to this new Notre Dame l-ligh School, instead, as in former years, of commuting daily to the City of Philadelphia, We of the class of i939 are justly proud of the honor of being the first class to have completed our high school years at Notre Dame, When the Pioneer Class approached the large oak doors for the first time, we saw thirteen acres' of campus shaded with the foliage of magnificent trees, a lovely statue of our Lady of Victory in the front yard, a large, beautiful school of Gothic architecture in natural stone,- everything to give our high school years a lovely setting, lt remained to us, we saw, to fulfill the promises of a memorable high school life which this picture offered. And, with increasing appreciation of our opportunities, we feel that we have tried to do so. What interesting changes We have witnessed as Notre Dame has advanced from lusty infancy to mature growth in the last four yearsl From the beginning we have been blessed with the guidance of the Right Reverend Monsignor John J. Bonner, to whose indefatigable labor we owe our place as a high school accredited by the State Department of Education All our religious teachers are Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. They teach Latin, French, Mathematics, Art, Commercial Subjects, l-lome Economics, Science, Social Sciences, and Music. As the number of students has increased from three SnowboHs-and smHes make a gay kno. Fdday at 3 PAA and aH is weH-and oven Seven A CITY HIGH SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY hundred in i935 to six hundred and forty in l939, the number ot Sisters and lay teachers has increased accordingly, ln l935 the taculty numbered eleven Sisters and two lay teachers By l939 the original taculty has been augmented to include twenty-two Sisters and ten lay teachers, including Miss Genevieve Rowley, who has been in charge ot our Physical Education department tor the last tour years, Miss Isabelle Ar Powell, teacher ot Public Speaking, Miss Margaret Mary Kearney, dramatic directress. During the past tour years we have acquired our own traditions. Our extra- curricular activities formally begin with Freshman Day, on which, according to custom, the Seniors initiate and entertain the Freshmen. ln quick succession follow the intramural basketball games and the class championship game, the annual Christmas Play, the French Play, the interscholastic basketball games, the Junior Play, the Spring Concert, the Senior Play, and tinally the Commencement Exercises of the Senior Class. With all the advantages of a city high school, and also all the advantages ot a country high school, we feel that our Notre Dame l-ligh School deserves its unique privilege ot being titled a city high school in the country.

MARY lT,'XNlT,'Xl l Thirteen Hllllllll on the CLHSSICS N OUR tour years at classical training a taste tor turther knowledge ot history, science, mathematics, and the languages is acauired. Not the least important at these branches is the Course in Language Study as language is the chiet medium ot human expression, and correct language is the expression ot logical thinking. Students who study Latin and French in high school, We think., receive an incom- parable grammatical trainingg turthermore, French is increasingly important in the Modern World while Latin imparts a disciplinary training that We feel has had a retlex action on our English speech and writing, The study ot history by the modern methods ot panel discussion and open torum gives the students that knowledge ot the Past so necessary tor the solution ot the problems ot the Present with a poise and ease in address requisite tor those destined to be the leaders ot tomorrow.

On Mondays, the regular two hour rehearsal is held, but when preparing tor a pertormance, no limit is made to the amount ot time to be spent rehearsing. The members have to be ready to practice whenever a rehearsal is called, whether Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. Early in Gctober the orchestra welcomed the Freshmen to the tamily circle ot Notre Dame. On December iS, the Bach Chorale-es were appreciatively received by the audience betwen the acts ot the Christmas Flay. The lVlarseillaise and Le Pere de la victoire by Ganne, gave the melody to the French Play, Ot course, our musicians were essential to the program tor the Senior Play. The program included selections from Pinatore by Gilbert and Sullivan, and The Emperor's Waltz by Strauss, Completing its season with graduation, the Notre Dame orchestra presents Faust by Gounod, The students ot Notre Dame teel that their orchestra has taken many torward steps this term, The Seniors are especially proud ot its progress in this, the most memorable year ot their school career, With the etticient instruction ot the teachers ot the various instrumental classes such as: Miss Ann Gallagher, violin and viola instructress, lvlrr Joseph Briglia, tlute instructor, Mr, Nelson Ward, percussion in- structor, Mr, John Riccardi, cornet and trombone instructor, and Mr, Nicola Mastrangelo and lvlr.

Much of the success our team has received we owe to our coach, lvliss Rowley, whose constant guidance and persevering efforts encouraged a fighting spirit in the players, Backed by the cheer-leaaersi Peggy lvluldoon, Joan lvlackell, and Catherine Walsh, and also by a fine loyal student-body, we fought our way through to final victory by defeating Ridley Township High School by the score 38 to 24.

Photography Leaders in all school activities, the pioneer class of Notre Dame leaves regretfully the Alma Mater that has been all-important in their lives for the past four years. Some are distinguished for the high scholastic standard they have achievedp all are distinguished for their loyalty to Notre Dame ideals and traditions. They have completed their training to the best of their ability and now move on to new fields in which they will cling tenaciously to the ideals they have cherished here. We present-the Seniors!

Notre Dame High School has five buses this year-three blue and two of a delicate peach shade I?l. With the extra buses, we only knock the knees of the person opposite forty-five times per journey instead of fifty. FLASH! There are eight new classrooms at your correspondent's Alma Mater. That s good news to Seniors and Juniors. ADVERTISEMENT! For your convenience a dispensary of school supplies is now located on the third floor. Courteous attention to all, special attention to children. IFreshmen included! PARADE REVIEW! Seniors officiated at the initiation of Freshmen on October eleventh. La Grande Marche was a sight to make your good eyes sore. RELIGIOUS NOTES! On December seventh, Seniors presented a program in honor of the Immaculate Conception. The program was designed to show the relation of God's mother to a modern high school girl. SPORTS NEWS! They've done it again! The Seniors beat the Sophs for the school basketball championship, What a cheering section! Your reporter's throat still tickles reminiscently, usually in History class. HOLIDAY GREETINGS! A Mystery Play, by Monsignor Hugh Benson, was pre- sented at Christmas time. No frothy story of tinselled trees and pretty packages- this, but a heart-warming narrative of Notre Dame and her Son. OBITUARYI Examinations were held in January. ROTOGRAVURE SECTION! Students at Notre Dame were photographed for the year-book as they proceeded about their usual routine, Everywhere your corre- spondent looked, she was confronted by a barrage of cameras Ionel. She waited for some one to request her autograph, IPS. Nobody did!! FOREIGN SITUATION! In the same week, Reverend Father Walsh, of the Propa- gation of the Faith, spoke to our student-body on the foreign missions in general and Sister Constantine, of the Sacred Heart, S.N.D,, visited us. Sister had just returned from a section of China, ravaged by Japanese air-raiders. We were startled to realize how close to the West the East really is. DRAMA! Miss Joan Beckwith and Mr. Stanley Cobleigh presented scenes from Shakespeare so delightfully, that we resolved never to use a text-book in studying that author again. Ilf. my English teacher reads this!-l'm onlyi joking, Sister.l EUROPEAN NEWS! The French came in for their share of American recognition when the advanced French class gave Cendrillon. We study French because one really isn't modern unless one can say hors d'oeuvre with a French accent. And let us be modern at all costs. SOCIETY COLUMN! Our alumnae hostessed a card party for the benefit of the library. It was amusing to see- schoolgirls chatting quietly across the table, acting like old, settled, married women. Being a Lady for a Day is fun, isn't it? EXCLUSIVE! Shades of IBIS! Belles and heroes of a long distant past strolled arm in arm down that very respectable thoroughfare, Quality Street, as the Seniors presented that charming whimsical piece of Sir James M, Barrie. We noticed, how- ever, that love, then and now, is very much the same. BOOK OF EXODUS! Class rings, Senior play, Class Day, Baccalaureate Mass-all gentle reminders that it's time to go, lt has been wonderful to be here, we don't want to leave. But Time Marches On and so do the Seniors!

Joy was the predominant theme in our daily lite as the great year untoldecl its program ot activities, First and toremost was the joy ot participation at l-loly Mass and the inspiring lesson every Thursday brought The daily schedule helped to dull the pain produced by the thought ot the long- corning Freshman Day. Our dreaded anticipations were soon ended, tor the expected agonies proved to be more pleasure than torture Time went auickly and betore we knew it the Christmas play had arrived, mak- ing us all wish to be very humble We managed to survive those tragic mid-year exams, were greatly relieved when they were over and supremely joyous when we passed, Alter that in rapid succession came the French play which we delighted in understandingg the Senior play and our tirst and best Retreat, Now we can look back and say that we are tremendously grateful tor this happy year and the privilege ot being students ot Notre Dame High School.

On February lO, l939, Pope Pius Xl attained in death the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ, the fulfill- ment in his own life of the glorious motto of his papal- career. Let us praise him as one of the greatest men of our day! Not as C11 Caesar or Napoleon, a conqueror, feared and hatedf did he lead his followers to destruction and death, but as Pius the Conciliator, he was loved by his friends and revered by his foes. Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, weak and strong, acknowledge Pius XI to have been a scholar, a statesman, and above all, a l-loly Father to all the world. From childhood Achille Ratti was a brilliant scholar. At Desio, S h I Monza, and the seminary of St. Peter Martyr praiseworthy marks C 0 G' are recorded opposite his name. As prefect of the Ambrosian Library of Milan and later of the Vatican library his scholarship won de- served recognition. l-le published eighteen studies on science and letters, twenty essays on the historically famous city of Milan, and two volumes on the legislation of St. Charles Borromeo. As Bishop of Milan, he wrote in French, Spanish, Latin, and although his encyclicals in classic Latin contain involved constructions, their meanings are always clear and forceful, Those masterly encyclicals, reiterate the firm, uncompromising teaching of the Church on the right of the family above the state in training children, the evils of divorce, immodesty, and the corrupting in- fluence of the modern drama: the peril of the employment of women and children, in the economic dictatorship l Although firm in defence of principle, never could Pope Pius Xl be said to be prejudiced. ln l9ll, Monsignor Ratti, Prefect of the Vatican Library, merged his career as scholar into that of diplomat and states- man when appointed by the l-loly Father to represent the Vatican at the Centenary of Oxford University. During the terrible years of the World War, however, Monsignor Ratti manifested fully the diplomatic ability which was to bring him fame. After the Brest-Litovsk Treaty in l9l8, he was made Visitor Apostolic to Warsaw, later he became the first Apostolic Nuncio to the State of Poland, and was consecrated titdar bishop of Lepanto. ln l92l, Bishop Ratti was created a cardinal and appointed to the archdiocese of Milan, left vacant by the death of Cardinal Ferrari. l-lis reign at Milan was short, for just eight months later he became Pope Pius Xl. As pope, his ability as a statesman reached full maturity and revealed itself to be of such quality as to win the admiration of the world. The dramatic manner in which he turned the Mass of Expiation, said for Soviet Russia, into a solemn protest broadcast throughout the world, and echoed in his appeal to all nations to pray for the Catholics of Mexico, his courageous yet tactful dealings with the Fascist dictators in Germany and ltaly are all vivid in- stances of his keen grasp of diplomatic principles. The freeing of the papacy from imprisonment in the Vatican and the reestablishment of the papal State was of course, the greatest triumph in the career of Pius Xl. Since l87O, no pontiff had enioyed any but spiritual sovereignty, but by the Lateran treaty-of i929 Pope Pius Xl secured for the Church full liberty throughout ltaly and made the successor of St. Peter again one of the most powerful rulers in the universe. Statesman As a scholar or as a statesman, then, the fame of Pope Pius Xl is secure, but as a Father of Christendom for seventeen years, what shall we say of the benediction that will rest upon his memory! l-le was concerned not only with his own country, but like Christ, his heart embraced all men, and he strove for the temporal and spiritual wellbeing of his children of every nation. lt is said that he donated a Holy Father Sixty million dollars from his privy purse to charity in the first nineteen months of his reign. During the Ethiopian conflict, he insisted on a peace with justice , in the Spanish Civil War, he appealed twice to the leaders to use moderation in, bombing the civilian population, on numerous occasions he pointed out to Hitler and Mussolini that radical nationalism, in its attempt to exclude so called foreigners, erects barriers between men belonging to the same human family, and is a most dangerous foe to universal peace. Yes, even to pagan nations was he a Holy Father, for he pleaded with the Japanese Government to spare Chinese non-combatants. Pope Pius Xl realized keenly, however, that from God alone can nations win the blessing of peace and prosperity. Thus, during the Holy Year of i933-34, he preached prayer as a remedy for the economic depression. To the joy of all Catholics, moreover, Pope Pius Xl renewed the Eucharistic Congresses and marked his reign by the canoniza- tion of twenty-six new saints, natives of France, England, Canada, Germany, Italy, and America. Let us revere the memory, then, of a modern apostle of such inspired mind, heroic character, generous heart, intrepid faith, and valiant courage, let us thank God for giving to the world and to us, Pope Pius Xl. . HELEN HEALY, '39 vvvVIVAILPAPAovo HE Church sits veiled in grief, for Death has claimed its right to lead her Shephera through the dark portals to Eternity. But above her bitter grieving hark, a Voicel Fear not, my Church, 'Behold, l am with you alwaysl' ln endless chain of un- broken succession, my Vicar still lives on 'Even to the consummation of the world'. Grave, majestic Cardinals meet in solemn conclave, mindful of their duty , . . clouds of white smoke rise over great St. Peter's . . . a white-clad figure appears on the balcony, his hand raised in blessing. With this benediction the mourning veil is lifted from the Church, and all her children welcome her Shepherd returned as Pope Pius Xll. LONG LIVE THE POPE! MARTHA MILLER, '39 o o 0 TREMENDOUS TRIFLES v 0 0 By G. K. Chesterton REMENDOUS TRIFLES! Thus does the title of the book sound the paradoxical keynote of what is to follow, namely, what many consider trifles are really tre- mendous. Chesterton, brilliant yet simple, proposes what seems to be a principle of his life, that of finding the greatest joy and interest in little things. Perhaps that is partly an explanation of the great wealth of his mind and the results which flow from his pen. His essays, at least in this book, are short, which is another thing to bless him for, leven the best of essays grow tiresome if too longl and yet they are so crammed with knowledge and humor, that one cannot read one sentence without getting something from it, even if it is only an example of a more perfect use of the English language. Essays contain a personal note, telling us more about the author than almost any other writing. Chesterton's are no exception. He tells his personal experiences so charmingly and exposes so much of brilliant wit and sound philosophy that l could not even attempt to sav that l know half the wealth or understand half the com- plexity of this great mind. When Chesterton is earnest, he is very earnest. Things make a profound im- pression on him and move him deeply and he has. what so many lack, the power to describe his emotions and feelings so that one can actually feel them, too. Then again, when Chesterton is funny, no one is funnier. He can change quickly from Sixty-one being gravely serious to being highly amusing, Part of the effect of his humor lies, I think, in his expressing it so matter-of-factly, or being very serious about it. There is hardly a page which does not express this irrepressibly humorous twist of mind. Chesterton strongly proves the contention that great men are the simplest. He is deep and profound in some places and yet the same man turns around and says in one essay, Personally, of couise, I believe in Santa Claus, but it is the season of forgiveness, and I will forgive others for not doing so , and in another, admits frankly and unconcernedly having eovesdropped. He loves fairy tales, railroad stations, and adventure, and in describing a serious conversation, suddenly refers to one of the gentlemen as Whiskers. Some of his endings, particularly the last sentences are among the most beautiful and complete that I ever hope to read. This is from Humanity, I thought of a low and lonely house in the flats, behind a veil or film of slight trees, al man breaking the ground as men have broken from the first morning, and a huge grey horse champing his food within a foot of a child's head, as in the stable where Christ was born, Despite the eloquence and length of a great many of his sentences, as one naturally has learned to expect from Chesterton, he turns about and uses very short staccato sentences, often stating only one simple fact, but does it in such a way as to make the effect exceedingly pleasing. Deepl sincerity, as well as high, fantas- tic, and even weird imagination mark all his works which are always perfectly fin- ished by sharp and challenging titles which from the outset excite the reader's interest. He is highly inconsistent as only G, K. can be inconsistent, and rambles along adding brilliant touches throughout the pages. It has been said of him that he was one of the few great fiction writers who left his own life out of his stories until he came to write his autobiography, Per- haps he felt that his own experiences, especially his earlier ones, were not interesting enough. Tremendous Trifles is ranked among his best works, and is characteristic of its truly great author, who, with his never-failing interest in life, says, The world will never starve for want of wonders, but only for want of wonder.

MARY MCGROARTY, '39 Sixty-two Rain, rain, go away, Come again some other day. ANY people like nothing better than to take a walk in the pouring rain, while on the other hand, many hate the sight of rain, even from the inside of a building. Personally, l like to see the earth after it rains, everything looks so green and smells so sweet, but that is the only aspect of rain l like, that is, after the rain has stopped. I I once read a story of an old lady who had insomnia, she could not sleep unless there was the steady patter of rain on the roof. Of course it does not rain every day except perhaps in April, so her relatives decided to rig up a garden hose on her roof and every night when she was retiring she could hear the steady potter of rain Then she slept peacefully through the night. Rain may help flowers, grass, grain and old ladies who have insomnia but l can't say that it has ever helped me. Not since a certain July Fourth, and l remem- ber it well, so well in fact, that l keep to the inside of my home or the nearest building every July Fourth. This particular July Fourth was hot and l suppose the flowers needed rain but l didn't. My mother had prepared an immense basket of picnic things for our visitors, my brother, sisters and me. lt was our annual picnic, in the nearby woods. Each took his turn in carrying the heavy basket, so in high spirits we reached our destination, a cool shady rock in the midst of the woods. We had a fine time, eating, laughing and talking. Unfortunately, we did not notice heavy black thunder clouds forming. The cloudburst came with startling sudden- ness. lt is well said that self- preservation is the first law of nature. Every one headed for home in different directions, leaving my sister and me to take home the basket. The basket was heavy and we were small. The cumbersome basket im- peded our progress, and by the time we were half way home, we were so wet that it really didn't matter. We had to cross the creek on a very slippery pipe, holding the basket between us. Steady! Oh! My sister slipped and we both went headlong into the creek, basket and all. We at last reached home and needless to say, we were very wet, still dragging the mud caked basket which could be of no possible use to anyone now. Poets may write beautiful phrases about rain and call it that melody of nature or the clover scented gale and song writers might write lyrics such as Singing in the Rain, but I doubt if they would speak of it so poetically if they were nearly drowned by it on the Fourth of July.

ADELAIDE ROTHWELL, '4l Ml RIAM NAUGHTON, '39 Sixty-three ' 0 0 WRITING A THEME 0 0 0 lNCENT'S most difficult subject in school is English because every week he has to write a theme. Now Vincent is a normally intelligent boy but his limited knowledge does not afford him enough information to write an interesting theme. Oh! of course, he knows everything that's to be known about baseball and basketball and couldn't he tell about the time his team had beaten the Yellow Jackets from across the tracks in the last minute of play? Certainly he could- for he, himself, had carried the ball over the line fort the final score in thai great game for the city championship. But who wanted to hear about that-or rather-- who had not heard about it by this time? Any way, Sister had said only last week that no one was to write another theme on the subject of winning a game in the last minute of play. And who could blame her? She has already corrected twenty- one themes to that effect. And then he could tell about the time he would have won the spelling bee if he hadn't forgotten to put only one e in procedure, instead of two e's. Say- how about the time he had put the frog in Mary Jones's desk-Gosh, she's a baby. Why did she have to yell so loudly? Now if it had been a snake-but only a harmless frog-all girls are easily frightened-aren't they? But Sister wouldn't think any of those things interesting because she already knew about them. q And he could never write about the time he had minded his, little sister-you know-the time she cut all the curtains on the dining room windows. Boy! would the fellows laugh if they heard about him, Vince lSpeedl Brown, having to mind a girl. Even Sister would laugh at that!

DORIS BRENNAN, '42 Sixty-four M o o 0 ENDORMEZ-VOUS 0 v 0 HE children of the neighborhood loved Mrs. Smith. Of course, Smith wasn't her real name-that was Croison, but it was too hard to say. She was a funny, wrinkled, old lady with bright sparrow-like eyes. If ever any of the children were sick, she came to see them bearing in her small, toil warn hands a mysterious pack- age. Her eyes would dance more than ever with an expression which, Mrs. Brown said, looked like her Johriny's when he had played hookey. The package opened, she laughed aloud with child-like glee as she saw the delight with which her home- made cookies, the little dish of pudding, and the prettily-colored picture book were received. Mischievous little Johnny Brown was sick now. They said it was something beginning with a P that Mrs. Croison couldn't pronounce. lt was een-fin-tile pear-all-issus or something. The boy lay in bed, thinking hopelessly of the omin- ously still little legs under the covers. Occasionally, he glanced toward the door through which Mrs, Smith would inevitably come, sooner or later. lt was sooner this time. A light step heard in the hall, then in tripped the spry old lady, carrying the usual present. Bonjour, mon petit, she said, and her voice smiled as she spoke. I have brought for you something and l think that you cannot guess what it is, isn't it? Johnny brightened visibly. He was used to her strange way of speaking. Of course, he knew what was in the package, but he and the rest of the gang had decided that since Mrs Smith got such pleasure out of giving surprises, they wouldpretend they didn't know. Besides, cookies taste none the worse because of foreknowledge of their presence. Hence Johnny eagerly unwrapped the packages and registered the proper, pleased astonishment. Gee, Mrs. Smith, that's neat! he exclaimed, boy-fashion. The little woman's eyes danced, but after a moment, softened and became sad. How do you feel, Johnny-boy? The little ones of the neighborhood miss you sadly, so you must hurry to have health. Aw, l'll be all right, Johnny muttered as if ashamed of being ill. The little old lady looked at him keenly. She feared that Johnny was going to have a very bad time of it. The sight of the tousled mop of hain framing the pallid face recalled another tousled head, another face, he own san, Pierre. Sk vie fi: if if 2 A strongly-built, quaint, weather-beaten old farmhouse stood amidst fertile fields in distant Brittany. The mailbox bore the legend Jean et Germaine Croisonf' Happy, diligent farmers, the Croisons labored side by side. Early every morning one could hear Jean's rollicking song mingled with Germaine's laughter. Why should they not be happy? They were prosperous and healthy. What is more they lived in an environment of love, conjugal and parental. Why should they mind working hard when they knew that every ounce of produce was contributing to the treasury by means of which they planned to send their son Pierre to medical school. Dear Pierre! He would be a fine doctor some day. He was such a handsome lad-curiously poignant face, fair-skinned, with dark hair, very straight and very thick which persisted in bouncing into his eyes when he laughed heartily. At which Germaine would push back the shaggy mane with a caressing movement, and' say tenderly, mon cher petit. He wasn't so petit any more. As a matter of fact, he was ready to begin his medical studies. That meant separation for he was to pursue his career at Johns Hopkins in that strange new land, America. The parting was hard, Germaine and Jean walked with their son to the village where he would get the Marseilles-bound train. They talked of inconsequential ' Sixtty-five things, but there were long silences when each mind was filled with the dread of saying au revoir. At length they reached their destination. Jean extended his hardened palm to his son and tried to smile as he said, Be sure you come home in time to help your mother with the spring plowingefour years from now. lt isn't long, you know. l-le didn't realize how pathetic he looked, the tears trickling down the sunburnt face, belying the smile on his lips. Then casting restraint to the winds, he kissed Pierre on both cheeks. Germaine bravely spoke: Pierre, we shall miss you very much, but we are glad to give you to humanity. Keep your hair out of your eyes so that you may always see your path clearly before you. Understand? God bless you, my sonl Au revolt. And Dr.-to-be Pierre Croison was on his way to America. At first Jean and Germaine were deluged with letters, the homesick out-pourings of a lonely boy. Soon, however, new faces and things began to take his interest. His letters, although always long and affectionate, became more and more inter- mittent. After graduation, he remained to do post-graduate research. Jean and Germaine longed to see their son, but he did not return. It was during that year of post-graduate study that Pierre wrote about floods out west somewhere-disease--doctors needed-eresearch. Germaine sensed the rest- less undertone of his letters and it worried her. Then the letters ceased. His parents suddenly became old although neither was yet over fifty. Bravely, they bore their sorrow, each shielding the other. At times as they worked together in the fields, Germaine would stop and gaze unseeingly at the landscape, at which Jean would place his hand on her shoulder and say hoarsely, l-le's all right, my dear, Germaine not trusting her voice would smile gratefully. ln the end there was but one thing to doi- go to America to find Pierre. So it was that Jean and Germaine Croison arrived in New York in l9l9. With the money gained from the sale of their farm, they pursued their search. They were able to trace Pierre to a little town in Virginia. There the trail ended. Nothing else could be ascertained. lt was hopeless. Money was going fast. With characteristic sturdiness, they set about establishing a new home in Ridges, Virginia. Jean se- cured work as a gardener on a nearby estate. Both studied the language of their adopted land, but it was up-hill work, for as Germaine said early in her linguistic training, You can't teach old tricks to new dogs. Nineteen years had passed since their arrival-all of them lonely years. After a while, they learned to laugh again. The neighborhood children all thought Mrs Smith to be the world's iolliest lady. 4. .i. ... .1. 0. .v. .,. ,,c .,. .,. ,,. W. The old lady shook herself lightly. After all these years she musn't make her- self sad by remembering. l-ler own little boy was gone so she must do what she could for other people's little boys. You should sleep a little, Johnny, she said softly. l shall sing to you a little lullaby l once sang to my own child a long, long while ago. She seated herself on the side of the bed, crooning, Restez, restez-vous bien. So rapt in her song was she, that she did not hear the door open as Johnny's mother entered. followed by the famous New York special- ist who had come to examine Johnny. Mrs. Brown advanced toward the bed but the doctor detained her. l-le spoke auietly to Mrs. Croison. ls the next line, 'Car les anges vous gardent'? The bird-like woman fluttered off the side of the bed. She regarded the doctor strangely. Sixty-six Yes, she breathed, Who are you? Then without waiting for an answer, she continued, Parlez-vous francais? She was strangely excited, There was some- thing familiar about this man. Yes, l speak-that is-I spoke French, stumbled the bewildered doctor. He could not explain his feeling. The little old lady- Doctor, would you please to remove from your eyes the glasses? Then suddenly-both knew--both possessed the wonderful knowledge. Mother and son reunited. We shall not stare as Mrs. Brown and Johnny did when they heard the Doctor's strange story. The floods in the west had captivated the young doctor's imagination. He had about made up his mind to go, when the devastating Great War 'broke out. Mail delivery was irregular. Foreign mail was particularly hard to get out, That was the reason no word had come to the waiting parents. They continued to ad- dress their letters to the university, Then when they came to America, Pierre was still writing-almost in despair-to the little farmhouse in Brittany. He feared the worst, and after several years gave up for dead two so dear to his heart. That evening, the two happiest people in the world returned to the little home in Ridges. Jean had already arrived from work. He looked incjuiringly at the tall, distinguished stranger. Germaine with happy tears in her eyes said, We have company for dinner tonight, Jean. May l present your son? JACQUELINE STECK, '39 0 0 QTHE DREAM HAT- 0 0 ANCY SCOTT stared awe-stricken at the chic hat in La Mode Millinerf' Why, it was just the thing to top off her stunning teal outfit! Just the thing to wear to the party Friday night! She could even envision how she would look in her gorgeous new dress, and this dream of a hat, as she gazed innocently into the deep gray eyes of that devastating woman-hater, Dick English. He had actually broken down and asked her, the pride of the senior high school class, if she would please accept his ardent invitation to go to the party, Would she accept? With every girl in the school just dying to be in her place-would she accept?- what a question! And furthermore, she was so glad Dick had asked her before that horrid Curly Blake-the most self-satisfied, egotistical boy in the school. Nancy, when Curly had asked her, had condescendinqly replied, l'm really very sorry, but Dick-Dick English-has already asked me. Nancy smiled to herself and gazed at the hat. Suddenly she awoke to bitter reality. Tragedy of tragedies! She couldn't possibly get the hat before the party. Her allowance was already too overdrawn. Yesterday, when she hinted broadly that a teal hat would just complete her outfit, mother had said she couldn't pos- sibly buy another thing. Dad had given Nancy a nice little sum but she simply had to pay her chemistry fee with that, What on earth could she do? As she turned to look at the hat again, she caught the eye of her friend Sally, the hat clerk, Sally, who had seen Nancy's outfit, guessed at once the reason for Nancy's little pout. She smiled knowingly at Nancy, who waved pointedly at the hat and then walked homeward. Oh, why was it so hard to get ?pl95. She might ask her brother-but then you can't get water out of a stone. Oh, dear, it was going to be so mortifying to go to the party in her shabby little felt. Such is life, she murmured dejectedly as she approached her home. Friday morning, Nancy awoke bubbling with anticipated joy as she thought of the party-but then as she remembered the hat, her heart dropped to her feet. Sixty-seven On her way from school that afternoon she stopped at the shop to look at the hat. Horror of horrors, it was gonel Poor Nancy stared mutely at the stand where the hat had been. Oh, that was the meanest thing! All hope was gone now. Before, she had secretly hoped that she might be able to get the hat. But now-oh! That night Nancy dressed mechanically for the party, Her upswept coiffure was perfect. Her dress was simply stunning-but her hat. l-low humiliated she would feel escorted by Dick-in that awful hat. Walking slowly to the closet, she opened the door disgustedly and reached for her old bonnet, There before her eyes reposing on folds of soft tissue lay her dream hat. Well, of all things-there it was-why no one but mother could have gotten it. But how did she know? Oh-now Nancy remembered her mother's secret smile when she had forlornly groaned about the hat. Yes, and Sally's phone call last night sounded a little queer-Sally never before had asked to speak to mother, and she had been all giggles. Oh, but that didn't matter. Nancy really had the hat-and Dick's conquest was assured. The bell rang, Nancy took a last look into the mirror, kissed her mother with a little Thank you hug, and ran breathlessly to the door. As she opened it--- her charming smile froze into cool disdain, for there stood that horrid, smug Curly Blake. Why, hello, Nan, he cheerfully cried. l've come to take you to the party. Dick is down with the measles-got them from his baby sister.

Throughout the streets of the town hardly a sound could be heard to mar the pleasant stillness. The ,boy slowly sauntered along the main street, scuffing the dust into small clouds with his disreputable-looking shoes. The sun shining down on him colored with gold the ends of the chestnut hair which ap- peared through the holes of his tattered cap, and revealed with startling intensity the gaunt hollows in his thin face-hollows which mutely told the story of a long journey through a hostile country-side, fruitless search for work, hunger of a poor boy whom housewives had turned from their doors. ln his torn and dirty jerkin the boy presented a sorry contrast to this prosperous town. As he walked along, he looked with interest to the left and right. On one side of the dusty road an inn displayed its bright blue and gold sign. At the kitchen door a stout, apron- draped man sat in a chair snoozing, unbothered by a droning bumblebee which buzzed perilously near his rosy nose. The kitchen was empty, save for a few flies, who, not seeming to be affected by the drowsiness of the day, hovered over a large cheese which lay on the table. The boy's eyes darkened as he took note of the tempting delicacies which were heaped on the shelf. When he saw the large meat pastry which occupied a prominent place he looked furtively about him. The street was bare except for this man who was sleeping so soundly near the door. He stealthily tiptoed over the threshold, taking care not to disturb the inn-keeper. Once inside, he stopped, visibly wrestling with temptation. A few seconds later he turned. his deiected figure showing that he had decided not to steal. As he reached the door the pleasant eyes of the inn-keeper arrested him. The man never moved from the choir as -he silently surveyed the hay before him. not missing one tattered detail. Finally he appeared satisfied. and slowly nodded his head. Help yourself, he said. You look as if you need it. Better stock up on everything. lt may be a long time before you get another feed, and without another word, the inn-keeper went back to sleep. Urged on by a hunger soon to be appeased, the boy filled his pockets with fruit, slipped the meat pastry into his ierkin. tucked the cheese under one arm Stepping softly out the door, he smiled in gratitude and apology at the sleeping proprietor and was gone up the street. The flies in the store. momentarily dis- turbed, returned to their feast. The bee, tired of endlessly circling a mere man's head. turned to the pleasant occupation of examining a bed of bright flowers. The inn-keeper drowsily opened one eye ar-d watched the hoy as he wandered down the street. Smiling to himself as a turn in the road hid the boy from view. he dazed off again. Small clouds of dust raised by a pair of raaaefl shoes were the only evidences of a profitable trip through a slumbering town of old England. 0001939000 The dusk of a December day was settling over the city street. The crowds which had thronged its dirty pavements on their way from a day of work to homes of warmth and comfort had long since disappeared. l-lere and there in the tall buildings which flanked the street a light flickered on or off. Save for the occa- sional rumble of an elevated train overhead, there was silence. The small boy trudged wearily along. his gloveless hands plunged deep into his pockets. his uncov- ered head bowed against the cold wind. l-lis face was thin and pale with hunger and need.: his entire body was hardly more than a shadow mingling with the dingy grayness of the scene. The same small figure was pitifully exposed to the biffer cold of the approaching night. A dilapidated sweater several sizes too large served to accentuate his size. Tattered knickers. socks in the last stage of their exist- ence, and two large worn shoes completed his wardrobe. Sixty-nine Lights began to be turned on in the stores along the street. A particularly blustery wind blew around the corner, carrying with it an assortment of newspapers The boy smiled bitterly as he noticed one of the headlines. Zero Weather Ap- proaching. As if he needed to be told. His thin shoulders shaking with .the cold,. he moved nearer one of the lighted stores. Somehow, just being near a warm place made one seem warmer. It wouldn't do, though, to linger too long near the store-window. He knew from experience that people do not like anyone to hang around. They said, Loiterers give the place a bad name. Well, he couldn't blame them exactly, though you'd have thought that someone would have given him a little food. Even a little of the spoiled fruit would have helped to keep away the gnawing pain he was feeling all the time now. He stared unseeingly at the wares that were temptingly arranged in a show-case, clenching his teeth to keep them from chattering and wiping away a furtive tear with a dirty fist. He raised his head, conscious of an audience, and found himself looking into the sympathetic eyes of a man-a man with a uniform! The boy's shoulders sagged still more. He knew these policemen. He'd probably be sent to reform school. Or maybe he would be sgnt back to those relatives of hisl Well, nobody was going to say he acted like a coward. He straightened his shoulders, looked up and stared. Why, this man was smilingl See here, sonny, what's the trouble? The words echoed in the boy's ears. Could someone be talking kindly to him at last? The voice came again. ls there anything I can do to help you? l'm all right, the boy mumbled, ashamed to admit he had been crying. l was just a little hungry. This wouldn't do. however. The policeman insisted upon hearing the whole story of the orphaned waif. When it was finished. Policeman Murphy pondered for a moment, then put out his hand to the boy. Come along with me, he said. The boy drew back, but the policeman didn't pay any attention to that. Come along now. l'm taking you to rny wife. She's a fine woman, and she's been looking for a fellow like you.
