She was hlarcia llflornay, famous opera singer, coached and taught hy Nicoli tjohn Barrymorel. When he asks her to marry him she consents, thinking it her duty. Due to an incident she meets Paul Allison QNelson lfddyj and they have one perfect day together and then part. Years later they meet again and Nicoli learns of llflarcia's love for Paul. The result is startling, and the young girl chooses marriage. Produced hy Hunt Stromhurg and directed hy Leon- ard, Maytime is perhaps the outstanding musical cinema of the season. A UUURON, hy Llorrtarrce Rourke is the hiography of .lohn james Auduhon. artist, naturalist, and woods- man. His lite Was an unusually interesting one. He was horn in Louisiana in U80 hut most of his childhood was spent in Nantes, France. He returned to America when he was eighteen years old and went to live on a farm in Pennsylvania. Audulron was always interested in hirds and he spent all his spare time watching them and studying their hahits. He travelled from Pennsyl- vania to Texas and from Florida to Lahrador in his unending search for new hirds. He painted many heau- riful hird pictures. Miss Rourke has given us a most vivid picture of the American frontier in l8llU. While some people may think that a hiography is dry and uninteresting l am sure that they will agree with me that this hook is an exception. lt held my interest to the end heczure lrunrczr, sorrow, joy, success, and hardships are heautilully lrlended hy the magic pen of Constance Rourke. HE title is a fitting one for this collection of poems ot the author, since it treats of each month of the year, heginning and ending with winter. Mr. Frost seems chietly concerned with the activity of Nature in every season. He hegins with the cold hlasts of winter, touches on ltlarch thaw and April days to lovely summer. 'llhe warm days wane into crisp autumn, and tinally conclude with winter. The poet is skilled in the use of onomatopoeia, as is demonstrated in the fvlarch poem, lo the 'llhawing VVindl'. a vivid description ot the windls attrihutes. Rohert Frost has always taken the middle course in the field of poetry. Hence, he has spared himself much criticism from both extremes. His reputation and his poems have achieved that solidity which is unique today. 30 THE SCROLI.

Graduates and the X CA'llHULlC college is necessary to prepare the youth of today for the struggle which they must face later in life. ln this struggle for power the Catholic force will demand a strong cohort of well-trained soldiers. lf her members are not well equipped with a good Catholic college education the forces of evil will overwhelm the Church and set up a government and society in which God has no place. The Catholic youth of today must recognize this call for help and answer it by choosing their college from one of the many superior Catholic colleges that are carrying on Christ's work. Colleges equip young men and women to take their proper place in society. They can be equipped to be leaders or they can stand back and let those who are better fitted lead them to the most popular goal. A Catholic who attends a non-Catholic college cannot take his part in society because he has not been trained in the principles of his religion. He must either ally himself with the opposite forces, which means a loss of faith, or remain silent concerning his belief. A student of a Catholic college is prepared to stand forth and defend the Catholic principles which are the very essence of his Catholic college education. -MARGARIQT HANi.oN, '37 HY attend a Catholic College? The question is not one to he considered merely by the graduates since sooner or later it will cronfront all potential col- lege students. ln answering this question we must realize first and foremost the importance of the college in moulding our moral character. By virtue of its very purpose in developing the mind. bringing out leadership, and supervising the work of its students. it is evident that the college wields enormous influ- ence in the forming of ideals and stand- ards of morality. Since it is upon strength of character and perseverence in right that the proper solution of all life's prob- lems depends it is necessary that we be equipped with the noble ideals and high morals that only a Catholic college is capable of instilling into the Catholic leaders of tomorrow. ln a Catholic college the teaching of religion is not confined simply to the re- ligion class. On the contrary the princi- ples and application of Christian doctrine are so inculcated into every course as to lend a Catholic atmosphere to every phase of work. ln the development of a clear, logical mind, the object of true education, it is necessary that truth, which is Catholicism, be the basis upon which all logical reasoning and true philosophy of life depend. Especially in these times of irreligion is it important that Catholic youth understand the Catholic viewpoint in the problems of today. ln our constant struggle with the '32 TH E SCROLL
