THE CRUCIFIXION With gasping breath the dying Jesus, Left to me His Mother Mild, Begging me, the Pleading Jesus, To be llIary's faithful child. In each Mass the Dying Jesus, Begs again for all my love, Rerninding me, the Loving Jesus Pfaits for me in heaven above. -Pauline Williams '45 FOR THIS To hnow God as He wants us to, To love Him 'with a heart e'er true,' To serve in everything we do- For this we live. For all the graces that -we need, For God's help to defend our creed,' For perseverance to succeed- For this we pray. For home life that we hold so dear, The right to worship without fear,- Our nation's honor to revere- For this we hght. May souI's salvation be our task. To do God's will is all we ash,' To hate all sin 'neath Satan's mash- SPRING The flowers sweet are blooming fair, Their scent enchants the surrounding air: The birds are coming bach to sing The cheerful song they chirp in spring. Swinging and swaying, the graceful trees Are budding forth their neu' born leaves: And everywhere you looh is seen The lovely carpet grass of green. Far in the west the golden sun Is a beautiful sight when the day is done, Sending its rays across the shies To mix with the rainbow's heavenly For this we strive. -Patricia Stalder '45 dyes. - Jeanette Tremblay '45 A TOAST TO THE FLAG Here's to the flag above us each day, Waving so proudly as if to say: This is God's country, the home of the free, Giving so much to you and to me. Here's to its colors so brilliant in hue, God heep it high, the red, white, and blue. Ne'er let it fall nor drag in the dust, To protect it and keep it, we'll fight if we must. And so to the red and white and blue, lflfe give honor and love, lVhich is its due. - Patricia Kennedy '45 30 THE SCROLL

ay lf WW: Words. .. F YOU had been the first editor of the Scroll, I'm sure your heart would have skipped a beat upon re- ceiving the following letter: Provincial House Notre Dame, Ind. January, 1921 The Editors of the Scroll: I thank you very much for honoring me with a copy of your initial number. You have produced a bright little journal, a faithful recollection, I a1n sure, of your beautiful school life. That your work may develop and succeed be- yond even your best dreams is my wish and my prayer. Cordially yours, Charles L. O'Donnell, C.S.C. At that time Father O'Donnell was a young priest-poet recently back from the war front, where he had served as a chaplain. Shortly afterwards his fellow religious elected him provincial of the Congregation of Holy Cross. This year when that Congregation is celebrating the centennial of its most fcmous uni- versity, Notre Dame, honor is being paid to some of her famous sons. Promi- nent among these is the author of the letter quoted above, whose collected poems have just been issued. fThe Col- lected Poems of Charles L. O'Donuell, C. S. C., compiled and edited by Charles IYI. Carey, C. S. C. The Uni- versity Press, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1942.3 Let me leave to more skillful pens the task of giving a detailed commen- tary on this volume: but let me, if I can, excite in your mind a desire to experi- ence its beauty. On a glorious April day, you or I, dear reader, would 1110512 likely exclaim, Oh, how lovely! Our poet said: I have never been able to school -Betty Conlin '43. His intense love for Our Lady and the VVord made Flesh has led him to be called by many the poet of the Incar- nation: Throned in His lNIother's arms. Christ rests in slumber sweety Except at God's right hand, For Him no higher seat. His style well nigh reaches perfection of technique. Each poem seems to be carved and molded from a thought rather than snatched from an impulse. An example of this can be found in Sunset : A Magdalena, the scarlet Day, Knocks at Eve's convent wallg They clothe her, penitent, in gray, Golden her shorn locks fall. The letter which opens this article is not the only connection our Scroll had with Father O'IJonnell. In 1926 the editors and their moderator had the temerity to ask him for a poem on the class patroness-St. Agnes. Back came this characteristic reply: Five minutes after I had read your letter I had a pome done. Please go back to the Father of Lights and get this thing done over. Tell the Holy Ghost I don't like it at all, it is not half good enough. VVhat results I shall send you. A few days later arrived this poem, which is included in the collected edition under lNIanuscripts : juda's Lion, like a lamb Before his shearers stood, And Agnes, like a lion, braved Death in her white girlhood. In the eternal holiday Of heaveu's golden weather The gentle Lion, the fearless Lamb Forever are together. And with them in the Garden of Paradise assuredly must be the poet of Notre Dame, close to the Lady of whom my eyes he wrote: Against young April's blue sur- I shall not quit her feet in prise. Paradise. THE SCROLL 29

he Case of the Missing Chalk Yehndi Takes an Aspirin ln a certain school in this vicinity, strange and eerie events were taking place. Things had gone on for years and years at a more or less slow, safe and uneventful pace. Children of the teen- age variety came and went with monoto- nous regularity. The caretaker kept the huildings warm and the grounds clean, and the teachers were, as usual, all- ahsorhed in doing their duty hy us high school students. All in all, it was a very peaceful existence. Then into one of the schoolrooms one fine morning mystery stalked. VVhen the teacher went to the hlackhoard, the chalk was missing. So, every night she put out more chalk and sneaked in every morning hoping against hope that it would be there. But alas and alack, it was always gone. She would go to her desk, sit down and think about it. hlaybe she forgot to pllt it out. No, she knew she had put it out, So, in the morning, after question- ing the pupils and receiving nothing but negative answers, she began to he a little afraid. Perhaps-ghosts! No, no ghosts. But then it must he ghosts. What else could walk chalk right out of the huild- ing? Elves?-No Fairies? No, Giants? -No. Yvell, then it must have been Yehudi. She let it go at that with Yehudi representing the unknown factor, and every time the chalk was missing, she would simply say Yehudi and put more Ollt. lt got very annoying though, as time went on, and the chalk still disappeared. It got so that the poor teacher's eyes fairly hulged, looking around to see if someone named Yehudi was following her. Still the chalk disappeared! Now let's get down to Yehudi. He was tall, dark, young, and was in the depths of despair, poor fellow. He just didn't know which way to turn. It hap- -Betty llhl 43. pened that one of the quiz kids on the block came to him and asked how much dirt one could get ont of a hole six feet deep, three feet wide and three feet long. Now poor Yehudi figured and figured until he had terrific headaches. He would sneak into the classrooms at night and study all the mathematics hooks, but he still couldn't figure it out satisfactorily. llecause of his poor eye- sight and the worn-down condition of the chalk at the end of the day, he would, in the gloom of the room, swal- low the small pieces of chalk, thinking they were aspirins. Now, if you want to stop the chalk from disappearing, just tell Yehudi , the caretaker, that you can't get any dirt out of a hole six feet deep, three feet wide and three feet long-herause it is already out!
