Espe- fsii - Vs 1 n 5 . When an especially attractive one ap- proached Paddy in the beginning of the first Christmas dance, smiling so much like Cary Grant, she smiled back at him and shook her head, indicating the emblem on her sleeve. It was repre- sentative of the Free French and Paddy had been drafted into wearing it when Sally Carpenter failed to show up at the Park Club. 'fSorry, Paddy told the sailor wist- fullv, Pm a Santa Claus bundle for Fraiice tonight. A moment later she found her older sister in the powder room. Gee, Lucille I don't see why I was chosen to entertain the visiting French. All the French I know is Qui , and a girl can get into all sorts of fixes by saying yes to everythingf' Lucille adjusted the red, white, and blue bow in her hair, smirking at Paddy from behind one slim white arm. Non- sense, she said, someone has to shower hospitality upon the French tars. Be- sides you should enjoy your job. Those boys done up in red pompoms are really cute, and we can all sacrifice a little for someone at this time. It's the time for giving, you knowf, I know itls Christmas, and I know theyire cute,', Paddy wailed, 'ibut there is no possibility for conversation. Switch me over to Britain. At least I know Claus --JEANETTE TREMBLAY '45 how to offer .a cup of tea to a member of the Royal Navy. Sorry, honey, but it's too late for alterations. Buck up now and make like Simone Simone. Merry Christmas, darlingf, Lucille departed in a grand swish of tulle. Paddy rejoined the United Nations Christmas party, which .appeared to be very exhilarating to everyone else but Paddy. lVIusic bounced to the ceiling, couples danced and laughed and chatted. Paddy noticed that Noreen VVeb, one of Lucille's sophisticated side-kicks, who had lived in Paris practically all her life, was babbling French to an inter- ested countryman. And there was Lu- cille dancing with Paddyls Cary Grant. Perhaps I should have bought a war stamp with my admission fee and stayed at home, Paddy thought, as she sank down upon a sofa. She sat there watch- ing the big Christmas tree in the middle of the Hoor, glistening and sparkling with all its ornaments. Soon she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Paddy turned to see a French seaman consider- ing her with sparkling black eyes. He moved his hands, suggesting dancing, and Paddy dutifully arose. Sunday, Moriday, and Always - - the orchestra spilled out sweet tonesg and moving slowly beside her partner, Paddy began really to enjoy the dance. He moved gracefully, holding her with just the proper amount of firmness. He didn't try to launch a conversation either, but just smiled down at her once in a while, 'lHey, this is nice! Paddy thought, this is really wonderful! She sneaked a peek at the boy's profile when they turned and saw that it was clear cut and could be called a bit Hruggedf' Funny she'd expected a dash of Charles Boyer in all Frenchman but this one looked -as American as Tom Harmon. 4 THE SCROLL Dottie Shaw danced up with a red- headed carpenterls mate. How're you doing now, Paddy? l'Dottie, isn't he cute? Paddy said, nodding toward her partner, f'Isn't he special stuff? They danced on, jacques, as he had introduced himself with gratifying sim- plicity, ventured a few intricate steps. Itls getting even better, Paddy mused happily. They stood by the punch bowl, watching the merry couples dance around the great tree. His eyes were glowing just as though he had never seen a Christmas tree before, and for all Paddy knew, he hadn't. Noreen Web came up, smiled at Paddy, then fired a volley of French at Jacques. He re- plied affably in the same strange language. Why did l stick to Latin this year? Paddy quizzed herself fiercely. Julius Caesar never attends the U, S. Cl! She collected her wits suddenly, thrust- ing a cup of punch into jacques' handf' NIerci he treated Paddy to a smile that he never showed Noreen, and it excluded her completely, and she wondered off. You!re a little darling, do you know it? P-addy said, knowing, of course, that Jacques couldnlt understand her. Then lylrs. Garland, senior hostess, ran to Paddy's side. f'Patricia,'! she smiled, you've been so good with this young man. I know you'll be the one to take care of the very lonesome one standing by the door. It's Christmas night, you know, dear, and we donlt want to see any lonesome sailors, do we dear. Let me introduce Pierre to you and I'll get another partner for your friend. Oh, thank you, Patricia, you are a dearf! What a drastic switch! Paddy moaned silently, as she danced with Pierre, who insisted on making a steady and dreadful conversation. And then she saw with great pain that Lucille was dancing with Jacques. Not just waltzing but ilirtatiously chatting with him, smiling and laughing- Hlt wasnlt fair! Lucille was a United States girl tonight, and even if she did know a little French-Heyf' Paddy reasoned. I didn't know that Lucille had a supply of French jokes! What ever were they laughing at? At last her dance with Pierre was over and she delivered him to Noreen, who, she claimed, would make a far better partner for him. She sat on the sofa and again she felt the light tap on her shoulder. Let's dance, cookie ? -asked Jacques in perfect English. 'fFor Pete's sake! Paddy stood up with her knees knocking madly. Then jacques began to laugh. At first, Paddy was tempted to give him the walkaway, but soon she was laughlng too. After that they talked about every- thing from soup to nuts. Then jacques took her hand. Am I forgiven?!' He wanted to know. I think so, but, you might have told me in the beginning that you lived six years in the States before joining the Navy of your native landf! Well, unlike your big sister, you didn't try to speak to me at all. You were so different, so I decided to have some fun with you. And you've been nice about it, Paddyf' Lucille was honking impatiently. Thanks , Paddy murmured as she turned to leave, Bye, Jack. 'fFirst,'! he said, stepping closer, NI want to tell you that I think you're a darling, too, So long, Paddyf! From the moving car she waved to the young sailor with the red pompoms until he was lost from sight. Then she faced her girl friends, who all began to sing the lNIarseillaise. And Paddy sang too. THE SCROLL 5 Double Trouble T HAD been a hard day of constant driving for miles and miles along the smooth highway that skirted Lake lvlichigan, and Bill Hardy wond- ered wby he had allowed himself to be talked into this trip by his good friend, Father Tom. The priest had said that it was a must trip for himself and he wanted company. And now Bill and Father Tom found themselves, of all places, in the guest roo1r1 of a convent. The occasion was a f'Clothing on the morrow. Father Tom was holding forth on vocations. Now Bill, this girl who is going to receive the veil of a sister in religion tomorrow has found her voca- tion. That simply means that she is ac- cepting the invitation from the Lord to serve Him as a religious. That is what we mean by a vocation. She might just as well have been called to the married state. She is no different from any other girl of her age. She likes to dance, and go to movies, and to do the things that girls like to do, but she is giving some of these up in order to serve fiod better. llflass over early next morning and Father Toni deep in his prayers, Bill eyed the neighboring lake and decided he would have time for a swim before the ceremony. As he was driving the car out of the enclosure to negotiate the few blocks to the lake, he noted a second car, a big one, just getting into motion. Then a voice, the owner of which he could not see, said: Now Sister! You know Mother' won't like your going swimming before the ceremony, and you simply must be theref' And a voice just as pleasant cooed: 'fYes Sister, but what lklother doesn't know won't hurt herf' You ought to know, 'Sister' dearf' and the big car swept on. Bill saw that the driver of the car was a very -attractive young lady who did justice to the Jantzen she was wear- -JANET SHEPERD '45 ing. liill's mind was full of misgivings. He knew that lN'lother was the title of the religious superior. The warning voice had sounded tearful, if not terri- fied. The warned was Hippant. On the diving raft Bill tried to be friendly. Conversation was kept in a very broad and safe channel. He was interested. More he was excited to think that this lovely young creature should be entering a sisterhoodg and, most of all, perplexed that she should be taking this French-leave for a l-ast swim before her induction. An hour later Bill watched the cere- mony from a pew in the rear. For him it was long and tedious. The sermon was given by a dignitary who was offer- ing a solution for the problems of the world the girls were leaving. The sisters-to-be were going through their parts in seared if sacred tones. 'liben Bill saw his swimming partner of the morning, kneeling before the ina vesting prelate. ln her robes she was more beautiful than ever. Regret swept over him, This was too much. He got out and had a smoke. Si? Cl? ill' Adieus were being made. Bill was waiting for Father Tom to get into the car, when quite by accident-if it were an accident-the big car of the morning hooked his bumper. Saying something to himself that sounded like a prayer, and wasn't, Bill strained to unhook the bumpers. He was amazed for the last time that day to see that the driver of the car with the bumper hooked was his swimming partner of the morning. Entirely unsolicited she piped up: Ulf it will clear up anything for you, that was my twin you so stared at while she was taking the veil. This kindly lady who is holding hands with my father in the back seat, and who didn't catch me this morning, is my Mother. Father Tom rode home with the par- ents of the twins, and in the priest's coupe rode Bill and Sister Jantzen. 6 THE SCROLL If X ,fp f fCk X X ' f ff a The Christmas Star The other stars when they went out every night, Made rne stay horne, because I was too bright, .flnd when theyld play games on the fola- lowlng day, Tlzeyld say I was too big and just got in the way. 1 For thousands of years I sat alone on a shelf, Just feeling sorry for rny big, clumsy self, Then one day when the others had gone off on a spree, A band of angels earne looking for me.

E -gli .These men of ren-looking struc- ' f flu .Las L-E' 2 brilliant minds and ture, cut off from all society by a formidable wall of stone pillars and iron bars. Within the walls of this gloomy den of iniquity we are confronted with every conceivable form of humanity wallowing in the mire of despair, VVhile this idea is not entirely an illusion, for institutions of such a dank and dismal nature did exist in England and elsewhere as late as the twentieth century, there really was another kind of prison-that with which we are con- cerned in this article. lt was a sort of comfortable and spacious stopping-off place for courtiers and men in the com- paratively high places between court functions or hazardous scavenger hunts of the Sea Dog variety during the Tudor dynasty, when Henry VIII and Elizabeth held the sceptre in England. This tradition of keeping men guessing as to their fate continued for centuries in English diplomacy when mercy and justice were not above the sceptred sway. Q Many of the most highly educated and cultured nobles of the day were often made political prisoners. When the monarch of the time would tire of some nobleman's presence around the court, he would dispatch a guard to prevent the unfortunate disfavored one from leaving the bounds of his home. Or, on the other hand, the king might confiscate an estate in a newly con- quered distant province and send the man there for safe keeping. But, if the king were too busy to render any per- sonal attention to the case, the offender would be moved, often with his servants, to some secluded apartments, where he classical educations were not wastrels, but made use of their opportunities in this enforced idleness to compose some of the immortal master- pieces which even now serve as inspira- tion to the learned of our modern era. To those men of impetuous and ad- venturous natures, this life of compara- tive ease was intense cruelty. Probably many oi them would never have dreamed ol' a literary career had not this opportunity been forced upon them. Many a genius would undoubtedly have pursued a daring existence of blood and thunder to die a hero, renowned for his valor and courage. ln this respect we are indebted to the circumstances which gave birth to these outstanding literary contributions, Sir Thomas lN'lalory's Jllorirf 11' Arthur was the source of inspiration to such writers as Tennyson, Spenser, Nlil- ton, Arnold, iyiorris, and Swinburne. Rosetti, Watts, and Burne recorded some of its most stirring scenes on their canvasesg and hints of it are detected in the lyric dramas of Wagiier. Among the earliest of English prose, Marte d' Arthur relates the adventures of King Arthur, the prototype of the ideal English King Alfred, and his Round Table. The triumph of Arthur's virtues over the temporal vices is pre- dominant. In the war of the Roses, hlalory fought with the defeated Lancasters at the siege of Rouen in 1418 and may have been a member of Parliament in 1444 and 1445. So that in 1468 when the Yorks, in the person of Edward IV, came into power, Malory's name was so well known as an enemy to the party 8 THE SCROLL that he was imprisoned for the duration of Edward's reign. It was during this period that he wrote lllorle d' xlrthur, which marked the beginning of printing in England. The first history source book written in English was also compiled in prison. It is Sir Waltei' Raleigh's llistory of the World, started when he was already fifty years old. This was quite an ac- complishment. for history as a branch of literature had not as yet been thought of. But Raleigh's brilliant education and the extensive traveling he had done before he fell into disfavor with the court had perfectly equipped him for such a task. Haughty and relentless, Raleigh had much of the nature of a monarch him- self and not enough of a subject. In The Cambridge History of English Literature he has been likened to Ha king without a kingdomfl With the accession of James l, he barely escaped the block to be sentenced to imprison- ment in the famous Tower. It was here that he wrote the History of the PVorld and saw it published during a lifetime which was soon to end under the execu- tionerls axe in 1618. The Pilgriufs Progress was begun by John Bunyan when he was in his second term of confinement at the Bedford goal. It is the comparison of Christian progress with a pilgrimage. It describes the battle between the forces of good and evil with the various virtues and vices depicting allegorical characters, It was finally published in 1678. At first only moderately received by the public, it has now become, with the exception of the Bible, the most widely read book extant in the English language. John Bunyan had the most mediocre of educations and began to study the Bible so closely that it became the whole center of his life. Indeed it was for the crime of preaching his religious tenets that he was committed to the gaol in Bedford for twelve years, during which time he produced no less than nine books. According to Nlacauley, if The Pilgfllllli' Progress had not been written, The Holy War would have been the greatest allegory in English literature. Although Daniel Defoe's greatest work, Robinson Crusoe, was not written in his two terms of imprisonment, he did produce so many masterpieces during those periods that it would take a vol- ume to recount them all. Most note- worthy of these publications are Hymn to the Pillory and the establishment of the Review, an outstanding model of journalism. Born on the eve of the Restoration, Defoe grew to be a man of such fiery spirit and boundless energy that it is a small wonder that imprisonment result- ed from the fearless attacks he made against the Tories and the irony in his never ending stream of pamphlets. Only his death in 1731 could halt the reams of literary works which were products of his genius. For a moment before concluding, let us now wander to American shores. From the pen of Williaiii Sydney Porter, or O. Henry as he is better known, came such productions as The Four Illillion and Options, both very enter- taining and humorous volumes of short stories depicting, for the most part, life in and around New York City, These and many other noteworthy pieces were written in the federal prison at Colum- bus, Ohio, where Porter was serving a five-year sentence for embezzlement. This was just the impetus that he need- ed to launch him on a career that was to bring him international fame as a short story writer. These brief sketches of but a chosen few of the countless prose masterpieces that owe their origin to the environment of prison walls bring out more clearly a fact that is self-evident: nothing, not even chains of iron, can shackle the well trained mind. How appropriate to quote here a verse, itself written in prison, by Richard Lovelace, the courtliest of the Cavaliers: Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a ragey lllinds innocent and quiet tahe That for an hermitagej If I have freedom in my love Ana' in my soul am free, Angels alone, that soar above, Enjoy such liberty.

I did carry out my threat to sleep late and luxuriously- but from there on, Blom took over. To begin with, the Weatherman was on her side, as the first thing that greeted me upon awakening was a tor- rential downpour against my window. But, to get back to NIom-She definite- ly had a brainstorm, and decided that this was the perfect day for straighten- ing up the attic. So up we trudged.

About an hour later I came across a heavy, thick book, warped and yellow with age. It had no cover so I peeked inside to find the title-HGodey's Lady's Book and lllagazinen, Philadelphia, January, 1862. 1862! Let me think. What was hap- pening then? Our Southern states had just seceded from the Union. The Civil VVar had begun. Abe Lincoln was Pres- ident. Besides, it was the world of Louisa INI. Alcott's Little Women. I was about to ask mother what the significance of the book wasg but she was smiling to herself over some old picture albums and letters. It seemed cruel to interrupt her reveries, so I de- cided it probably would be more fun to -PATRICIA STALDER 45 find out for myself, which I proceeded to do. On the very first page was an en- graving of two little girls, one sitting in a chair hearing the prayers of her smaller sister. Under the picture were the words: Our Father Who Art in Heaven. Can you imagine, Beth, find- ing a religious picture like that in one of our magazines today! Why, some of our so-called eminent litterateurs even apologize for using Godys name, as if they had said something to be ashamed of. This book of more than eighty years ago gave first place to God. The next page revealed f'Godey's Fashions For januaryf, Here were five full-length figures and a small boy and girl. The dresses were truly beautiful- big hoop skirts and drop shoulders, trimmed with Flowers, lace, and velvet ribbons. One mannequin had a bright blue feather in her hair, exactly like those we are wearing today. The little boy wore crimson trousers, very full, with braid on the pockets, a wide blue sash, a white vest, blue jacket braided with gold, and a turban of crimson, blue and gold. He looked as though he had just stepped out of 'AArabian Nights , but when I turned the page, I discov- ered he was dressed as a Greek boy for a costume party. Engaging is the word for the short stories-so much more interesting than those in our popular women,s magazines, I think that is because most of our stories have the same theme: love at first sight, hasty marriage, divorce, or the 'fhappily ever aftery' sequence, while the romances of Godey's day were de- lightfully diversified. Surprisingly enough, there were serials. How I would 10 THE SCROLL M S., if 9 o ---1926 --- 1930 L-1937 -- 1 like to get a peek at the December 1861 issue! Before I Went any further, I leafed through the book and discovered that originally it had been twelve individual monthly issues, which someone had the inspiration to combine into one volume. After the fashion prints and short stories, possibly a half dozen pages of each issue were devoted to f'Recipes'l, comprising novelties for the month: poetry, knitting, embroidery, sewing di- rections, exercises, the proper method of carving meat, cooking, and household hints. Here is one of the household hints with which you might like to experiment: To Blake Paper Fireproof-f-To do this, it is only necessary to dip the paper in a strong solution of alum water, and when thoroughly dry, it will resist the action of flames.

Do you think that he said to him- self, Oh, that's only my thumb that's hurt-and my thumb's not me so I won't bother about it? He did not! Wheli little Johnny cut his thumb, he used his short little legs to run to his mother. He used his little blue eyes to make sympathy-winning tears, Johnny w-as a sensible little fellow. He was not a master-mind or a quiz kid, but he had enough common sense and elementary logic to know that when his thumb hurt or any other part of his body hurt,- he hurt. llflany of our Catholics today could ,use a little bit of Johnny's logic and common sense when it comes to the matter of the Foreign Missioiis, for many Catholics do not seem to realize that these ikfissions are really and truly a part of themselves. The truth is, however, that the Foreign llfis- sions, no matter how remote or far dis- tant they may be, are just as much a part of every individual Catholic as Johnnyis thumb is a part of Johnny. Consequently every Catholic must be in- terested in these llfissions. Every Catholic is a member of the lVIystical Body of Christ. The Foreign lylissions are a very important and es- sential part of the Body. They are the hands, drawing men into the Church. They are the feet, taking missionaries to pagan lands where they may win souls for Christ. They are the tongue, speak- ing the message of salvation to all people. When these Nfissions suffer, the whole liystical Body suffers. Each individual Catholic suffers. Wheii johnny's thumb hurt, all the unhurt parts of his body came to help him. His legs rang his tongue shrieked, his eyes filled with tears. When any part of the Mystical Body suffers, every other part must come to its assistance. Today the Foreign Nfissions-your f'thumb -is hurting. The war has in- flicted heavy and serious damage upon -REV. VVILLIAM LAVVLESS, O.M.I. this essential part of the Nfystical Body. Since the thumb is hurting, all un- hurt parts of the Body must come to its assistance. Every Catholic, therefore, has a duty and obligation to help these Missioxis. Each must help in his own way. In our Catholic society, there are two great divisions-the laity and the clergy, which may be likened to the very life blood that courses through our bodies. The laity is the plasma to carry the blood cells along and distribute them in every part of the body. Were it not for the plasma, the blood cells could not do their work and the body would die. The clergy, especially the Foreign Elis- sionaries, are the actual blood cells which carry the Bread of Truth to the very ends of the earth. They do the actual work of converting men to Christ. But, unless the Catholic laity assists them, they can not carry out their work. Unless the plasma is there, the blood cells cannot function and the whole body suffers. Upon every single Catholic falls the duty of helping the Foreign Klissions. He can discharge this duty and obliga- tion either by going himself, offering his life to Work in these mission fields, or by assisting those who do work there. Everyone, it is true, is not called or selected to be a Vessel of Election to carry the Work of Christ to the whole world, as was St. Paul and his suc- cessors, the first Foreign Nlissionariesg but everyone can and indeed must help these Chosen Vessels on their way. Our help should take the form of alms and prayers. In view of the staggering multitude that cries out for food-food for body and soul, one may be inclined to doubt that his few poor pennies could ever do much good. But let such a one never forget that once long ago a large multitude of five thousand men needed food, A small lad offered Christ seven loaves and a few small fishes. Surely a most insignificant offering in View of the 12 L THE SCROLL large number of mouths to be fed! History records what happened. Christ miraculously multiplied those few loaves and fishes so that not only was this large multitude fed but baskets of frag- ments remained! Never let the small- ness of your offering discourage you. One need never apoligize for the small- ness of his offering-but he has reason to fear if his offering is mean. Offer your pennies to Christ. He will multi- ply them and with them feed the num- bei-less millions who cry out for help and assistance. Prayer-our help must also take the form of prayers for prayers are essential for the success of the Foreign Nlissions. lylan, be it always remembered, does not live by bread alone. The Foreign lVlissions can not succeed and flourish on alms alone-prayers are urgently need- ed. There is much more to Foreign Missioiiaries 'than the preaching of ser- mons and the presence of a band of lklis- sionaries on a foreign shore. Conver- sions to the Faith are wrought only through Godls grace. This Grace must be sought for by our prayers. ln this regard all can do well to take as a model and example Saint Theresa. The Little Flower aided the Nlissions so much during her short life by her prayers and acts of mortification that the Church has made her Patroness of the lwissions. She never left her convent yet she is rated as one of the greatest missionaries! We can do the same. By working our Rosary, we can work great wonders for the Nlissions. Use a bit of johnny's common sense and logic. Start looking after YOUR sore thumb! The best way to do this, however, is not to let your interest wander at random over the whole vast field of the Foreign Missions but to center your attention on one particular spot. Pick out a certain llissionary Order and pray for the success of their missions. Better still, pick out a partic- ular missionary. Adopt him! Help him by your alms and your prayers. Be systematic and practical. Set aside a definite time each day to pray for him. Set down definite prayers to say for him. Offer up a certain, definite number of sacrifices and self-denials each day for him. Thus by concentrating all your efforts and energy on one particular lylissionary, your assistance will have its highest and greatest value. In this way you will really be helping the Missiolis -YOUR sore thumb. Set about fixing up YOUR sore thumb. Use your feet to carry you to make visits in the church and chapel, your tongue to pray for the lylissions, your arms to work and send aid to the Missiona1'ies. And your reward to all this? Christ has promised that he who aids and helps a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. If you help and aid a missionary, you will receive a missionary's reward. xv s ' B f 9553 V ' m , fra . Y l R X .f . X i - , .AQ ICB THE SCROLL 15 Toledo- . C. C. W1 Mecca ORRY, not even standing room left,H was the greeting heard by scores of disappointed people as the curtain rose on the first evening session of the Biennial Convention of the National Council of Catholic Women, whose members had come from North, East, South, and West, to hear experts learnedly discuss that topic of greatest i n t e r e s t, The American Familyf, Inside the ballroom, jammed beyond capacity, the audience waited patiently for the convention to open. Church dignitaries, the national president, of- Hcers of the organization, and guest speakers sat on the stage and surveyed with great satisfaction the throng that had assembled. Excitedly, trying to identify the new faces of visiting archbishops and mon- signori, the audience was sharply silenced by the sound of the chairman's gavel. A blessing was simply and de- voutly invoked for the success of the convention, by Bishop Gannon, of Erie, Pa. Helen C. White To many of the listeners, the principal speaker of the evening was not a stranger. Five years previous she had visited Toledo as one of the highlights of the Catholic Forum Series in Ursu- line auditorium-and now she was to bring to representative Catholic women of the country a word picture of The Cultural Function of the Homef' Dr. Helen C.

Emphasizing the truth that only spiritual things matter, she went on to prove that it is much more important to give young people personal resources which will enable them to win the maxi- mum of illumination and enrichment in everyday living than to equip them with every material advantage. It takes time, intelligence and energy to give cultural advantages to the young, but in these contacts in the home there is a natural approach to the cultural interests of living, that gives one an understanding of that sphere of society in which he lives-how to make his own life inter- esting to himself and an inspiration to others. She concluded, A good home is not an end but a beginning. It is the beginning of a life wider than even the best home. That is why the attitude of the home toward the world without is so vitalf' At the close of her address, Dr. White was given the St. Catherine medal, pre- sented by Theta Phi Alpha, a national Catholic Women's fraternity, to out- standing Catholic women. Pontifieal Mass On Sunday morning, October the twenty-second, the bells of the Queen of the Holy Rosary Cathedral announced to the people of Toledo that a Pontifical High lNIass in honor of the National Council of Catholic Women had begun. Here in our own beautiful cathedral were gathered women from all parts of the country, from all walks of life. But they were all there for one purpose: to life their hearts and minds to God and to place the success of their convention in His hands. As the bells rang, the 1- 14 THE SCROLL flfiss lfV11ite RCEFiUFX Theta Phi dlphrz Ifonor overflowing crowd became hushed and the procession began. The ceremony un- folded with sacred solemnity and im- pressive dignity. Nlsgr. Nlichael Ready, general secretary of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, delivered the sermon on The Challenge to Unity. He said, 'fThese are not ordin- ary days in which we might meet and discuss academically our obligations to the Church and the State. These are days of crisis. In many nations the Church of Christ is manacled by cruel tyrants. Here in this nation the Church is free to carry on her mission. We have governments conscious of respon- sibilities to protect the freedom and dig- nity of the citizen.

Nlany signs point to a rapidly deteriorating family life, such as obscene stories, which receive no protest from the American public, and full employment, which has taken so many mothers from their homes into in- dustry. He stated: Full employment is not altogether an economic issue, it is becoming a serious moral one. He urged sufficient wages for fathers and unmarried children to relieve mothers from labor outside the home. He ad- vocated a positive crusade toward decen- cy rather than a negative one, saying it should be 'fpro-God, pro-decent, rather than anti-anythingf, Ursuline Tea Brescia Hall, on the Mary lylanse College Campus, was the scene of a tea, Sunday afternoon, served by the Ursu- line Nuns. Here the delegates took ad- vantage of the opportunity to exchange pleasantries and to become better ac- quainted with one another. The campus became a scene of bubbling activity as the Nlary Nianse collegians conducted groups of women on tours through the buildings and grounds. At the conclu- sion of the tea Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was held in the chapel, with the Most Reverend Ed- ward Hoban, D. D., Coadjuster Bishop of Cleveland, as Celebrant. The hospitality of the Ursuline Sisters will always be a pleasant memory to the hundreds of Women who were the bene- Hciaries of their bounty. THE SCROLL 15 Msgr. Ready As a sequel to the topic discussed Sunday evening Msgr. Ready addressed the delegation on the f'Task of Unity. Contending that the greatest political challenge today is the establishment of a just world society, the speaker main- tained that justice, human dignity, fam- ily'sanctity, and charity are fundamental considerations in providing a better and happier America. Continuing, the speaker reviewed America's pledge to the Atlantic Charter and to the doctrine of the four freedoms. No one had the least doubt about the Charter, he said, until Russia announced a proposed unilateral partition of Po- land. Although mindful of Russia's courage and valor in battle, while Rus- sia holds to its present policy of persecu- tion and discrimination against religion, it would be an international outrage to allow her to rule the Catholic people of Poland. To betray our promise in this matter, as set down by the Charter, would serve only to sow the seed for future wars. Therefore, he concluded. in an honest spirit of friendship towards Russia, we must stand united and firm for the fulfillment of the Charter. Urging the N.C.C.W. to take the lead in the fight against hate-mongers and persecutors, he stressed the import- ance of the continuous work of spread- ing charity of fellowship throughout all nations so that the 'fagony of War will never again afflict humanity. Papal Peace Program Sunday evening the topic 'fThe Fam- ily in the Family of Nationsw was dis- cussed at the general session, The Rev- erend E. A. Conway, SJ., centered his talk on The Papal Peace Program and the Pattern for Peace. He urged that the Dumbarton Oaks proposals be ex- amined in the light of the f'Pattern for Peace, written by the Most Reverend Samuel A. Stritch, in which is empha- sized the importance of founding genu- ine world peace on moral principles. Archbishop Stritch says: 'fYou cannot have law without justice, and justice is a moral thingf, The tentative proposals of the Dumbarton Oaks report for in- ternational organization of the United Nations are mainly an outline of the League of Nations with the added power to use force for Hthe suppression of acts of aggressionfl The reasons for the failure of the League of Nations can ultimately by reduced to two, as they are stated in f'The Papal Program : first, it Widely ignored morality and religion in both private and public lifeg second, it failed to recognize the most important political fact of our time-the interdependence of nations in a shrunken world.

The l505 registered participants in the convention on this last occasion experienced a feel- ing of satisfaction and pride as they re- viewed the accomplishments of the past week, for they had succeeded in secur- ing very definite ideas as to their duty as individuals in relation. not only to the family, but to society in general. They were truly convinced of the im- portance of immediate action to restore the Christian way of living to the world about them. Need for Religion As Bishop Alter declared in his closing talk to the convention: The public policy of any state or nation de- pends in its final analysis on the con- scious or unconscious acceptance of cer- tain fundamental principles of religion. These principles are the Wellspring of public opinion and eventually dictate our social attitudes and our social legis- lationfi HThe structure of human society post- ulates not an individual but a social unit as the fundamental basis of its existence. For this reason the emphasis in our convention has been upon the family as constituting this fundamental social unitfl Deep gratitude is due His Excellency, the llost Reverend Bishop, and the many other inspired leaders who shared their time, their talent, and their knowl- edgeg and congratulations to the hundreds of loyal women who par- ticipated.

He leveled the -' controls and settled back in the seat of his plane, VVell,H he sighed, one more mission completed and here I lm, still in one piece. Fancy thatll' Hank, who was actually Hank Gray, had now completed seven missions over Germany. How far he was from home now! Yes, here he was flying over places of which he had never heard. It seemed like centuries ago that he had stood on the platform of the small station in Albany, Kansas, embraced his mother and kissed Carol, his girl, good- bye. Hank had had to put on a good performance that day. All the while he was consoling Mom his stomach was turning Hips. He was really scared to deathg and now, thinking about it, he wondered if his smiles had really fooled Mlom. He doubted it. He had hated to leave lhlom alone. Since his fatherys death when he was twelve, he had been the man of the family, and Nlom had come to depend on him. Nlom was really some sport though, and when she realized how much joining up meant to him, she reconciled herself to the fact. just to make him feel free to go, she made a big joke of his going and almost threw him out of the house bodily. Gee, lVIom was swell! Sinking still deeper into thought, Hank began to recall his life before joining the Air Corps. His first vivid recollection was of the building where he had gone to grade school. Never would he forget that building, for it Was there that he really grew up, Think- -Mo1.r.v WH.fXI.EN '45 ing about it caused a grin to spread across his face. Yes, he surely grew up there and with what a jolt, for, when he entered the seventh grade he fell madly in love with his teacher, and how it broke his heart when she resigned to be married. And to think that he had tried to fail so he could remain in her class. Entering high school was really great. Gee, how big held felt walking down those long corridors. And in his senior year that school had been almost too small for his head. Why, wasn't he Hank Gray, star athlete, smart as a whip, and going with the smoothest girl in the school? Yes, that was Hank and besides all of that he had the swellest lklom ever. She was understanding too. He could bring the gang home after a game and if they raided the ice-box, that was fine. After all, that's what the food was there for-to eat. And if he did happen to get banged up in a game, lhlom didn't cry and carry on as some mothers did, and embarrass him half to death. Sheyd sigh and say, '4Well, I guess that's what you must expect when you're raring like an lndianf' Thatys how he liked to picture Nlom now. Going about her business as al- ways. Klaybe bragging now and then about 'fher boyf' or reading part of his letters at Red Cross. Gosh, how glad he was that Klom didn't cry and carry on like some mothers. She was proud of the service flag in her window and she let people know it. Coming suddenly back to the present, Hank looked below him to see the home- made airfield on which he was to land. He nosed downward and doing so a smile brightened his face as he mur- mured, HYes, 'lN'lom, it was a great life and it's really worth fighting for.', 18 THE SCROLL Hollow Victory OBBIE JEAN, a mem- ber of our precious younger set, was real- ly a slick chick, any- way Herbie thought so. Like nearly all the other true jive hounds, Bobbie simply swooned over Frankie Sinatra's voice, You're a droop if you donyt like Frankie, just everybody does,', she would remind Herbie every time she saw him. You see, Herbie had the misfortune to tell her frankly that he thought Bing Crosbyls crooning was ten times better. He noticed that Bobbie had been rather distant toward him late- ly, but saying something against her dream man put their Haffairu on the rocks. One would never know that they were practically going steady at one time, to see them one lovely spring day after school, when they chanced to meet in Pinkelheimerls Drug Store. VVhen Herbie walked in, there was Bobbie standing at the counter with her nose stuck into a magazine she was reading. There was a soft, dreamy look in her big brown contented eyes. To those who knew Bobbie, it was evident that she was drooling over a picture of The Voice. Poor Herbie made another dreadful mistake. He greeted her and looked over her shoulder at the object of her interest. f'What do you see in that crumb? YVhatys he got that I havenlt got ? Well, she told him.

Is it his fault that he didnlt look like that skinny runt? Herbie was -ALYCE BAUMGARTNER '45 very easy on the eyes and everybody recognized the fact, except Bobbie Jean. She often thought of how wonderful it would be if his curly hair hung over his forehead and he lost thirty or forty pounds, ,cause Herb was really very sweet, In the meantime Herbie was still brooding.

VVhile his two chums went swimming and acquired suntans and vibrant health, Herbie was in the cottage drinking grape juice and munching on Rye-Krisp crack- ers, of which he allowed himself only six a day. He couldn't shrink in height but he'd die trying to effect the width contraction. Every day he watched him- self waste away and his hair grow out. Very much satisfied with his efforts, and unrecognizable, Herbie returned home, His poor mother almost fainted when she saw him, but his father, under- standing the situation, assured her that it wouldn't last long. The very first thing he did was to stagger down to Pinkelheimer's to see Bobbie. VVhen he stumbled through the door, he saw her standing just as she had last spring, looking at a picture of the swoon king. The magazine slipped from her fingers on to the floor as she stared open- mouthed at the new Herbie. There he was with that lean hungry look, and, oh joyl curly hair dripping down on his forehead, QTurn to page 46j THE SCROLL 19 Bringing p ather George, George, where are you?

Thousands of soldiers crowd every available space. Nlike Harpen stands looking at the pier, while more troops trudge up the gangplank. He is quite alone, thinking of lN'Iom, Dad, and yes, Joan. Joan and the folks always were present when happiness was at its peak. Lucky enough to escape wounds, Mike recalls the past weary months spent com- pletely in contrast with the life he planned. Killing and dodging bullets werenlt in books when he was back at St. Peter's High. But that' doesn't alter memories, Mike thought, such as the time fifteen of us were trapped in a fox- hole with no help within reach. We were volunteers to penetrate enemy lines, to determine their strength. I was worried, plenty worriedg in fact, I wrote my last will and testament. It was a letter to Nlom, and a note attached for Joan. It was there that I thought of the wonderful times I had had at home, and what a fool I was not to appreciate it, I still have that letter, and in it I had a talk with God. Some of the fel- lows thought I was crazy, but it Wasn,t long before they joined me. The best part of that trying experience was the fact that I had gone to llass and Com- munion that very morning. The moon was shining bright, and the coming of Christmas struck me hard. I knew then that Nlidnight lVIass at Saint Peter's and the fun of opening gifts after Mass were out. I could almost taste that turkey as bullets woke me from my dream. My watch was over, and it was time to go to sleep. Strange as it may seem, I slept like a child who really tried to stay awake to see Santa Claus and couldn't make it. At this point in his thoughts the un- named troopship pulled away from the -PATRICIA FRITTER '45 pier. Rumor has it that it was headed for more action. lNIike was just another G, I. who gave up his family, sweetheart, and holi- day. It was tough but patriotic, and he was willing to give his all. As he stood there, the dawn was overcast and a light rain began to fall. Submarines lurked in the misty sea ahead. But INIike, like all the other boys, was a seasoned war- rior ready for action. This was why the Chaplain, Father O'Hare, could so proudly remark, That's what makes the American Army great. No matter how tight or light the pinch, a G.I. knows how to confront itf' As time went by the soldiers grew more and more restless. There wasn't much to do on a troopship but to think about home and how they'd love to he home for Christmas. Day by day passed and the Yuletide came closer. There were no wreaths in the windows or gay Santas in the de- partment stores. It was as though an epidemic had broken out on the ship. Every soldier had a particular dream he wanted to fulfill, and to bring the dream closer, he proceeded with an ama- teur show. The grand climax was the traditional carol of carols, Silent Night. It seemed good to hear these fellows singing after so many months of hand to hand combat with Tojo. Suddenly an .alert sounded as planes droned overhead. Drowsy soldiers jumped to their feet and silently prayed that the heavily armed ship could hold its own. Out of the misty darkness, roaring flying fortresses appeared to guide them on their way, Hours slowly passed. Out of the haze on the horizon, buildings sprang up and a band broke out with California, Here I Come. Tears rolled down Mike's smiling face as his Christmas dream be- came a reality. 22 THE SCROLL I've Met You Before Time is really dragging now. It seems like hours and yet it's only min- utes. Most of the fellows are using these last few minutes to write home. Since I don't have a home and nobody to write to, I think llll just talk to You awhile. I'm not any good at pretty words and never learned prayers like the chaplain says, so Ilm just going to tell You how I feel. Funny thing though, seems like Youlre right beside me. Reviewing some of the past things of my life now makes me feel as if I missed the whole point of life. Un, if I had it to live over again. Kind of late to do that, but not too late to be sorry. That's what the Chaplain said and I believe him and I am sorry. You know, faintly I remember meet- ing You before. This one particular time I went to a Catholic church with a friend of mine. Sure, it becomes clearer now. Especially when the priest raised the Chalice and the people low- ered their heads in adoration. I can still feel the atmosphere. There were other times, too, but the point is I have met You before and ignored You. There has always been that some thing missing before. Now, at last that feel- ing is gone. Itls satisfied. You're with me, my God and my All. There goes the signal. That means we move up to the front lines. You're with me, God. Ilm ready. Let's go. --CAROL HACKETT '45 Wltat Price Vanity Did you ever struggle half the night trying to put your hair up in those aw- ful curlers, slowly winding them round and round, tucking each little hair in just so?

Always before. the stiff faces appeared as caricatures to me, . and the clothing and hair-dos, a mere source of amusement. But that day I looked a little longer at the stern figure of great-aunt ' '3 Louisa, with her long immovable-appearing curls and her hooped - skirt, with the pantalettes peeping beneath the hem. Then I re- ' membered the stories I had heard about her fine horsemanshipg v how she never waited to don her riding habit, but was off down the road astride her horse with her black curls flying in the wind, and the neighbors gazing agape at the audacity of a young girl riding astride. I thought maybe Aunt Louisa wasnlt so very different. I turned the page to see a beautiful little cherub on a white fur rug just as he had come from his bath. VVho would ever imagine that this rosy-cheeked babe would develop into the great Ifncle VVilliam, whom I remembered as never having weighed less than three hundred pounds and whose roaring guffaws often made us children scamper to the protection of our mothers' skirts. And there was great-grandmother Underwood, for whom I was named. I looked at her hair, parted in the middle and drawn severely behind her ears. Her lips pressed firmly together, the corners fLll'IlCCl downwards, and her hands folded primly on her lap were just as the photographer had told her to pose. I was chilled until I remem- bered a letter which I had found among her belongings, containing a faded and dried rosebud, with this notation in the envelope: From my husband-his declaration of love three days after the ball at which we met. I decided that maybe people in those days weren't so straight-laced after all, -SUZANNE HEATLEY '45 Murder in 11 I was strolling down first hall peacefully one day Qof course, single filej when a thought clouded my mind. !As thoughts usually do.j IVIy homework! llly dreadful homework.

A most woeful scene was occurring in the bedroom of Jill Evans, a vivacious sixteen-year-old. Sprawled across her bed like a rag doll was dejected Jill. Sobs of sorrow coming from her racked body filled the room like black clouds fill the sky on a sunny day. Why should this lovable child be so depressed? Her mother was wondering the same thing.

What do you mean? Thereis just simply nothing to think of. Every man old enough to shave is in the army. Every man left is already going. And now my only hope has come down with a juvenile disease like measles. ,Heavens! I wouldn't even want to go with a boy young enough to get measlesf' As Jill breathlessly - M., 3 fb Q, 5 -RUTH HILLEBRAND '45 ended her retort, her father Walked in. After hearing about Jill's malady, he quickly changed the subject and the mat- ter was forgotten for the evening. Courageously, Jill carried on through the next day. Her heart cared not to beat, for in the eyes of her friends she was disgr-aced. At dinner that night she was so lost in her melancholy she scarcely heard her father say to Mrs. Evans, Remember Charlie Ashley, my old fraternity brother? He has a son in the army now. He has -a weekend pass, so I told Charlie to have him come down here for the weekend. That okay with you, Alice? f'VVhy, of course it is, replied Mrs. Evans. A scheme was forming in the mind of lNIrs, Evans. Finally she said, Hjill, dear, go upstairs and get ready for the dance. After much explanation Jill dutifully, but not too agreeably, obeyed her mother. As she dashed about her room like a frisky puppy, she continually declared, He'll be a perfect goon. Friends of the family always are. I'll bet he can't even dance. I'd better not Wear my new shoes. He'll probably crush them. One hour later Jill was dancing in the arms of the impressive Private First Class Charles Ashley, Jr. That faraway look in her eyes wasn't there for noth- ing. Not only had Jill gotten to the dance but she had fallen completely in love with this magnetic swain. Her envious girl friends clamoured about her in the powder room. A suddenly sophisticated Jill told them how simply awful it must be for Johnny to have the measles. But then, of course Hhe is so youngfl The next morning as Jill sat at the breakfast table with animation written all over her face, out of a dream her mother spoke to her, 'fHoney, will you call Doctor Jamison?

I remember I was in grade I envied every- one who never missed a day of school, be- cause I was home so uch with colds, mumps, chicken pox and all the rest of the so-called juvenile diseases. But I,ve changed my mind now -about being healthy. when About two or three weeks before Christmas vacation everyone was getting the flu. I was congratulating myself on not having it, when someone informed me that the afflicted would not have to make up the assignments they missed. Well, I began to think and I decided if I thought hard enough by the end of the day, I would have a sore throat. But I was not that lucky. Since the epidemic was becoming more prevalent, there were just a few of us in class. I thought this would be fun, and that we could persuade Sister to let us talk, play games, or tell jokes. But no, it was only worse, we couldnit get away with anything. It even caused me some embarrassment, for I was so used to hiding behind Barbara in English, that on one of these days I found myself trying to do that very thing-only Bar- bara wasnlt there. You see I wasn't as I was trying to remember the answer to the question Sister asked. As I couldn't, I unconsciously found myself sliding down in my seat. Of course Sister called on me, and I gave the dates of the Transition Period, only it wasn't the right answer, since the ques- tion was: f'In what century did the short story come into being? After that I thought something like a sore throat would come along, but again no such luck, We were going to have a Christmas party and because there were so few of us in school, those of us who were there had to stay after hours to decorate and practice for the play. I was hoping I would be sick so I wouldn't have to be in the play-but just as before, no such luck. In fact, on the day the play was to be given, the three leading characters were absentg so I found my- self playing the part of the hero, the villain, and the damsel in distress. First I was trying to grab myself away from myself-then I was trying to save my- self, and by that time I was so mixed up, I was praying and praying that 'I would faint. Not so, however. I had to see it through to the end, Finally the vacation I so ardently desired came.

TRANGE, isn't it, that the phrase life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinessu never gets threadbare? In the pursuance of these God-given rights the things of the body go hand- in-hand with the things of the soul. So it is that in our modern economic life we are stressing the age-old Catholic doctrine of organizing for a common end. For what else is the Communion of Saints? The twentieth century economic ver- sion of the Communion of Saints is the co-operative with all its ramifications. According to the Rev, Edgar Schmied- ler, O.S.B., a cooperative society or or- ganization is a 'igroup of people who band themselves together to produce something, to sell something, to buy something, or to pool their Hnancial resources for credit or loan purposes. This unison of effort, which is one of the most important movements of our time, enables the wage earners to pro- tect their common interests by elimin- ating the excessive profit-makers in the intermediary economic activities, Early Beginnings The growth of the cooperative move- ment in Europe has been more highly developed than in America, where it did not make any too notable advance until after 1900. The hrst successful English adventure was as early as 1844. That year, in Rockdale, a small English town, twenty-eight peasant Weavers, dis- traught because of low wages, irregular employment, and high cost of living, banded together to do something to remedy their economic status. Finally, they conceived the idea of a co-operative grocery store, and the Rockdale Equit- able Pioneers, Society thus evolved. Twenty-eight members with a combined capital of S5140 was the small and in- -TESSIE BURNOR '45 -PATRICIA KENNEDY '45 -PATRICIA ROLLER '45 significant beginning of the seeming mustard-seed growth of the co-operative movement. Before the outbreak of the present Wo1'ld War, the Rockdale enter- prise had expanded to more than 43,000 members, with more than a correspond- ing increase in capital, Groups following the Rockdale prin- ciples soon developed in other countries, notably in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Belguim. The number of persons now affiliated with co-operatives is startling. Very significant in the Vvestern Hemi- sphere is the development of the move- ment in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, spon- sored by the Extension Department of St. Francis Xavier University. Begin- ning in 1921 with some 200,000 fisher- men, miners, steel workers, and farmers, from one of Canada's most economically unsound and socially backward areas, this movement, built on the ten-member study club idea, has succeeded in raising tremendously the cultural and economic level of the people. Credit unions, buy- ing clubs, saw mills, marketing associa- tions, on the one hand, bulletins, news- papers, recreational programs, debates, leadership college courses, libraries, on the other, have gone far providing a better life for both body and soul under circumstances exceptionally adverse. One of the first really successful co- operatives in the United States was the Central Co-operative Wholesale, found- ed in Superior, Wiscoimsiii, in 1917. Soon the Nlid-West farmers founded other co-operatives, especially in the fields of gasoline and oil distribution. Today there are in the United States alone about 2,000 gas and oil co-ops. Along with these came a whole gamut of or- ganizations: filling stations, grocery stores, department stores, bakeries, coal yards, dairies, groceries, agricultural 28 THE SCROLL supply stores, hospitals, medical and burial associations, General Principles Nlost co-operatives today are organ- ized and function along eral principles as those the Rockdale Equitable ciety. These, in brief, marized: the society is controlledg membership the same gen- established by Pioneers' So- may be sum- democratically is voluntary through purchase of stockg business transactions are handled in cashg a good- ly portion of the profits are spent for educational purposesg goods and services are sold at prevailing market prices and dividends are distributed to patrons ac- cording to purchases. Have all cooperative activities been of the same type? Assuredly not. They have been developed to fit the whole gamut of economic life, hence we have the consumersb, the producers' and the credit co-operatives. Of the three gen- eral types the consumers' co-op is the most successful and most widespread. In this the members arrange to care for their own needs instead of buying from a retailer. It is truly democratic as it is conducted by and for member con- sumers. Producers' co-operatives, are, on the other hand, organizations in which the workers themselves own and control a productive enterprise. By merging profits with wages this system obviates the abuses of unjust wages. For the most part, this type has not been too success- ful in indutry, but has assured its great- est sudies in the field of agriculture. Credit co-operatives are something like small banks. lVIembers pool their funds to lend to members at a low rate of interest. The fundamental purpose of this group seems to be to hurt the loan-shark. Usually the credit co-op functions well in groups united by oc- cupational, professional, territoral or religious interests. The parish credit unions, numbering several hundred in the United States alone, are doing excellent work. In connection with this phase of co-opera- tive, the services of the Parish Credit Union National Committee or the Social Action Department of the N.C.C.VV.C. are always at the disposal of those seek- ing information. A Catholic Action So far there has been no explicit Papal pronouncement upon the co-opera- tives movement as a whole, but certain- ly Pope Pius XI in his encyclical, Re- constructing the Social Orderw, im- plicitly advocated the founding of such groups. Currently, in the October 13 issue of Amerira, we have presented several illustrations of functionary groups with a Catholic background. Among those cited is the little town of Westphalia, Iowa. There the guests of the Catholic Co-operative Committee picked apples, milked cows, and did the usual farm chores-together. They even carried over the idea of co-operation to their religious activities and the social side of parish life at St. Boniface's Church. At work, at play and at prayer whole families become vital parts of the co- operative ideal. Thus are the younger folks absorbed into the movement. For Catholics the co-operatives are not merely experiments, but something we have had for century upon century.

Let There Be Peace HERE is nothing lovelier in all world literature than the epic of Christmas, for it is the Usweetest, saddest love story ever toldf' Listen to St. Luke's simple account: 'lAnd Joseph also went from Galilee . . . the town of David, which is called Bethlehem . . , to register, together with hiary, his espoused wife, who was with child. And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were fulfilled. And she brought forth her firstborn Son and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. The world today, even as then, needs the lessons of Bethlehem-peace, love, trust, sacrifice, and poverty. Both the war-mad battle fronts and the pleasure-mad home fronts demand the powerful lessons of the God-man, who chose to come into the world He created, unheralded and unnoticed. The Divine Babe by assuming human nature elevated mankind to the dignity of children of God. How, then, can brothers of Christ and members of the Divine Family be immaterial cogs in the machine of purely human living? The tragedy of the modern world is what man has done to man! With all the supposed advance in our socialized and mechanized way of life, we are still woefully lacking in estimating real values. Else why two major world conflicts in the span of a single generation? Qur eyes are so blinded by the dazzle of our own reflected glare that we fail to see the Star of Bethlehem, our ears are so pounded with the discordant blasts of everyday living that we miss completely the soft mellow chorusing of the Angel voices, K'Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, to men of good will. The failure of nations and individuals to carry out the law of God is at the root of all the evils in the world, for the principles of Christianity must be the foundation of our n oli Y of all our social life. The present chaos will not be solved by military alliances, by ocean or desert meetings, or by endless conferences. It is history to admit that these have been found wanting. What then? By harking back to the message of peace that the angels sang which is, as St. Thomas says, the fruit of charity. This message of peace has reached its twentieth century reinterpretation in the Papal Peace Program enunciated by Pope Pius XII on Christmas Eve, 1939. His famous five point Program was formulated against a background of principles of the sovereignty of God over nations as well as over individuals, of the essential demands of the moral law in social life, of the dignity of man, and of the essential unity of the human race. The arms of the tiny Christ Child are outstretched to receive those who heed the words of His Vicar on earth. Let us be as the humble shepherds and hasten to Bethlehem.

This startling intruder, Orestes Brownson, heretofore a defiant scorner of Cath- olicism was to play one of the greatest roles in the Catholic Revival in America. Brownson by nature was a cold, hard, cynical man who never allowed anything approaching sentimentality to influence his decisions. In his periodical, the Boston Quartffrly Review, he printed radical articles against Catholicism, while at the same time admitting that its sound judgment had won his admiration. Like many great political thinkers, Brownson gave a brilliant analysis of the social evils of the day but seemingly offered no political solution. Though deeply religious in his own right. Brownson did not seem to see his way clear to find satisfaction in any one religion. Therefore, no wonder then that his conversion to Catholicism electrified his American public more than that of his contemporary, Cardinal Newman in England. After his conversion, Brownson worked as hard for the Church as he had against it. He delivered brilliant lectures and published outstanding articles, not for popu- larity, but to further the Church in America. Praise has been given by Pope Pius IX, who publicly expressed his admiration. Cardinal Newman named Brownson by far the greatest thinker America ever hadfl 'But with all this, Iirownson became unpopular in America. His brilliance could not compensate for his blunt impudence. Forced to leave the American literary scene he retired, unpopular but by no means a broken campaigner for Christ and His Church. Like many great Catholics, perhaps Brownsonls value and importance will be realized now that he has been dead for almost three quarters of a century. It is fitting for every American Catholic to immortalize the memory of this man whose high ideals and religious convictions were an incomparable testimony to the truth that makes men free. Let every Catholic profit much and take example from the life of this man, so earnest and eager to seek the truth and subject himself to the Divine Will. -Lois MURPHY '45 Antidotes- . YI .

The campus was buzz- ing with activity, as excited Seniors scurried from building to build- ing for last minute in- structions in the dayys program. A June day was never lovelier, the dignified b u i l d in gs never seeIned so ma- jestic, and the winding walk of the campus never 'appeared so pic- turesque than now, when soon all would pass into the world of memories. At last, the hour for the ceremony approached. The graduating class, at- tired in cap and gown, made its way along the scenic path to the Inain hall, which now was filled with eager, proud, and happy parents, friends, and rela- tives. As the colorful procession of young, happy graduates filed into their respective places in the auditorium, a low murmur of voices filtered through the audience that thrilled with pride at the impressive spectacle. This was the day that the class of l9-l-4 had anticipated with great satis- faction. This was the moment that would crown their college work with its reward. On the stage sat the hlost Reverend Michael Curley, Arch- bishop of Baltimore, members of the clergy, members of the teaching and medical profession, and representative laymen. After a brief welcome by the college president, the speaker of the day stood up to address the class of 19-H. He was the Right Reverend lVIonsignor George Johnson, an outstanding figure in the field of Catholic education. His subject was Realism . A hushed silence fell over the audience as the llonsignofs splendid voice brought to RZ. Rev. George Johnson -PATRICIA KING '45 the Trinity graduation one of the finest speeches in the school's history. Captivated by his interesting theme and perfect delivery, the listeners never wavered in their atten- tion as Dr. Johnson spoke: 'lVVe still have a lot to learn about educating unto Christ. There was a sharp silence - suddehly the speaker's desk began to move, Dr. Johnson dropped to the floor- he was dying. At the hands of the Archbishop he received the last sacraments of the Church. In the very act of crusading for Catholic edu- cation, he died suddenly but well pre- pared. The last word spoken by him was Christ, Two pages of his master- ful address remained to be delivered. Ordained for the Diocese of Toledo thirty years ago in the city of Rome, that had just been liberated on the eve of his death, Rt, Rev. lVIsgr. George Johnson, Ph.D., was then appointed the first superintendent of Toledo Catholic schools. Recognizing his unusual ability, Bishop Schrembs sent him, after five years, to the Catholic. University in Washington to further develop his out- standing talent. So great was his pro- gress there, that Bishop Shahan, Rector of the University, asked Bishop Schrembs to allow him to remain in VVashington to join the faculty, where he stayed for the remainder of his brilliant career. When word reached Toledo last June of his demise, many an Ursuline alumna was shocked and saddened at the news, for it was here at St, Ursula's that the renowned educator fulfilled his first ap- pointment as instructor in Christian Doctrine.

As I recall now, it didn't originate in any particular way at all. I guess it really started because of a small event hardly worth telling: I came home from school one day to an empty house, after having lost my key somewhere during the day. CI had already lost two before in as many months, and I was pretty disgusted with myself.j NIy mother had gone away on business and wouldnlt be home for some time. I guess God must have thought I made a forlorn picture sitting on the cold steps, for He sent mother home in three hours, which was much earlier than I had anticipated. That three-hour damp vigil put a resolution in my mind. I was down to my last key, and I must find some way to prevent losing it. lNIy brother came home from the shop that night with a little spark plug on a chain for me, and I immediately saw the possibilities of putting my key and other charms on that chain until it got heavy enough, so that if I dropped it, I would be aware of it. I had a few charms which I attached, and my friends helped to make up the deficiency. This little boxing glove was added to the collection by Yaqui Joe. He is a good friend of my father, and since his profession is boxing, his gift is symbolic of his life. I am not superstitious, yet there is a horseshoe on this string. It isnit for any occult reason, but to a person with a good imagination it suggests my love for horses. This hobby horse is a souvenir of a visit to New York, where I saw the radio broadcast of Hobby Lobby. These additions left no room on my old chain, and since I wanted to continue my collections it became evident that the one I had must be made to expand or I must get a larger one. Choosing the latter, I went shopping. To my surprise, I found that they just didn't make key chains large enough for my purpose. I solved my difficulty by getting the kind of chain the G.I.'s use for their dog tags. It's large enough to go around my neck, so I almost have enough room for all my trinkets. Concerning a few more, let me mention the small figure of Buddha which my brother sent me. He had found it while cleaning up the beach on Attu. The little white ele- phant I am holding now was given to me by Father Delva. I also have a donkey, so you canlt say I show favoritism. Be- sides the few I have mentioned, I have other charms too numerous to go into detail about. By this time I suppose you have noticed that this hobby l in 2 has ceased to be a convenience, since it is almost too heavy to 2 ,X carry aroundg but it has served its purpose by breaking me of Z ,X the habit of losing my keys. f 34 THE SCROLL I ' My Hanky Une day while I was walking down the street, I dropped my hanky at my feetg And when I stooped to rescue my loss, Old Mr. Wind said, 'KI am bossf' So he blew his breath on my hanky fair, And sent it twirling in the air.

VVith the disintegration of this first of the social institutions inevitably comes the downfall and decay of the nation. Regarding this point in his address, lylsgr. Sheen gave statistics concerning American women in industry amounting to eighteen million. As a consequence there are now for every five marriages one divorce in the smaller towns, and one for every three marriages in the larger cities. Msgr. Sheen noted how Soviet Republic is outsmarting the demo- cracies in recognizing long since the truth, that dis- rupting family life corrupts the prospects for na- tional unity, He said that Communism now frowns on divorce, and offers special inducements to mothers to have large families. In further developing his speech Nlsgr. Sheen spoke of the duties of marriage: faithfulness, fruit- fulness, and sacrifice. As Christ would never leave His Church, so couples should never leave one an- other. Concerning the second purpose of marriage: fruitfulness, he stated, All true love ends in an incarnation. All fruitfulness in all generations comes from God. Beauty in a woman and strength in a man, which so attract during the days of courtship, are special gifts of God. When these things fade, God sends children to renew them. And sacrifice: the third duty of the married state demands that the couple show their love for each other by suffering with and helping each other to bear the burdens of life, in the spirit of true Christian faith. ' In closing, lklsgr. Sheen paid special tribute to virginity as found in religious, and to lylary, the first Gold Star Mother of the world,v THE SCROLL 1 3 ,M eiiwgw F 'L Q 'gl we . i it ., 4.21.

For over an hour Nliss Hutchinson more than satisfied her audience that her electrifying portrayals were worth their being there. All her presentations were enacted on a comparatively empty and scenery- less stage-the only property, for the most part, being her portable dressing room in which she cos- tumed, while at the same time supplying the missing links of the narrative. Her only props for the actual performances were a piano bench and a chair. But the beautifully varied costumes created the desired illusion, and when the actress was on the stage proper, she left nothing to be desired. Sheridan's THE RIVALS was the first dramatic dish which the artist served with true eighteenth century Havor, Throughout, she was really 'flVIrs. Nlalapropu, frowsy, dowdy, foolish, full of giggles, and above all the proverbial scorner of the dictionary. As she herself commented, Nliss Hutchinson took her audience from the utterly ridiculous to the heights of the sublime, when she left Nlrs. Nlala- prop giggling her heart away, and beckoned to the immortal Joan of Arc to take the limelight. A start- lingly real portrayal of Joanls vision was followed by that very touching scene when, misunderstood and almost desperate, the Nlaid of Orleans begs aid to save France from the English. EAST LYNNE, a melodrama of the l860ys, kept the audience veritably in stitches, especially as the actress, .by her extreme exaggerations in both tone and gestures, seemed to enjoy the farce as much as they. As if to save the best until last, Shakespeare came into his own in the last lap of the performance with the characterization of Puck, the pixie of NIIDSUKIIWER NIGHTS DREANI. The lithe- ness and grace of movement exhibited here left the audience with the conviction that they had seen dramatic art at its best in St, Ursula's auditorium that evening. Miss Mary Hutchinson Drama Review By Mary Agnes Dolan '45 THE SCROLL Wilson Movie Review By Vera Morrison '45 R We Stood Alone By Dorothy Adams Book Review By Tessie Burnor '45 Sometimes the life of a man mirrors the life of ia nation. These words are quoted from the foreword of Twentieth Century Fox's film, K'Wil- sonf' Three years in the making, with nearly thir- teen thousand persons contributing their dramatic talent, f'Wilson reaches the zenith in moviecraft, and is a sincere tribute to a great American. This fabulous film holds the interest from be- ginning to end. lt clearly illustrates the opposition and defeats the renowned President and statesman met in an adverse country and coalition. lt re- enacts the efforts of the triumvirate of peace leaders, and Wilson's introduction of his Fourteen Points. His plan to .appeal to the people was defeated by his own health, which prevented his cross-country tour. ' ln one sense it is the greatest success story ever filmed-the college professor who became President. In another sense the tragic failure of Wilsoxi's own life points the way to the tragedy of these war years, What do you think your reaction would be if you were confronted with the idea of leaving America indefinitely? Would you inwardly scheme to return as soon as possible to your native land? This is the problem which Dorothy Adams faced when she married Jon Kostaneski, Polish diplomat and political economist. At first, she felt Poland was a surpressed nation dominated by the Germans, but as the years advanced, so did Poland, and Dorothy Kostaneski was absorbed into the Polish way of life and thought, and made to realize how spiritually independent Poland really was of Ger- man influence. Although her life is the background of the book, Poland, the Nation, is cleverly emphasized. Dorothy Adams had become so completely drawn to Poland that she no longer regretted the renunciation of her American citizenship. Poland was a part of her. She remained there even after the death of her husband and would undoubtedly be there now had not this present war threatened her sonys safety. For a wholesome story of Poland, l could sug- gest no better reading than this book written by a convert to Polish ideals and culture. THE SCROLL Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough have written an hilarious account of their trip abroad in the early twenties when they were not yet in theirs. They have filled their novel with as many amusing incidents as each page can hold. They were young, and very American, and they took their Americanism with them wherever they went. Paris and London opened their arms to these two who were so full of life. They loved to live, and they lived to love. They laughed and they cried, at the sight of France, Eiffel Tower, joan of Arc, and England. For many who have never experienced their first time abroad, they can come as close to France and England as it is possible, without actually going there, by letting Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough make the trip for them. In this day and age, when racism is so preva- lently discussed, The Dove Flies South is a most timely contribution. It deals with the Negro prob- lem in the South, where prejudice against the Negroes is proverbially thought to be greater than in the North. The story concerns George Woodward, son of old Sheriff Woodward, beloved by all. George is very bitterly disposed toward the Negroes, 'fBetter off by themselves someplacef' is what he 'always says. He even goes so far as to kill a Negro, Peg- Leg Allen. Of course in the eyes of the law this is no crime. Through a surprise action in the story, George knows what it is to be hated by the white people, to be paid inadequate wages, to have no steady job, to be thrown out of his home-in gen- eral, to be made a slave. The plot is well-constructed and the characters are sincere. A desire merely to present his view and experience with the southern Negroes seems to prompt Father Hyland rather than a definite aim to reform. The result, nevertheless, is a more charitable feeling for the colored race. This book can well be recommended to all interested in human relations, but it would also be an enjoyable bit of pastime, since it is an excellent story, well-written, straightforward, and telling.

Hyland Book Review By Vera Morrison WS THE SCROLL Emma Endres Kountz Concert Review By Carol Diethelm 345 Mother America By Carlos P, Romulo Book Review By Patricia Bechtel '45 Emma Endres Kountz entertained the music lovers of Toledo with a delightful series of concerts held in Ursuline Auditorium on three consecutive Sundays in October. The appearance of M1's. Kountz marks the progress of Toledo toward a cultural trend in music. At her first concert, which was planned espic- ially for children musicians, Mrs. Kountz enter- tained her audience by simple music with spoken commentaries, which brought forth spontaneous ap- preciation. The delighted listeners were also amused by selections from Scarlatti to Ravel. The program included three sonatas to illustrate the trend of modern music, and tuneful waltzes from Brahms, Chopin, Schubert, and Ravel. As an encore the artist played a number very much in demand, the Bach choral HGesu, Joy of lVIan's Desiringf' At her second appearance, Mrs. Kountz pre- sented the Faure piano quartet, C minor, and the first performance of a new Work by Julia Smith. an American composer. This series of concerts was dedicated as a memorial to her mother, Amy Endres. For her third and last concert of the series, lhlrs. Kountz was joined by the Friends of Toledo lylusic Orchestra, and its conductor Edgar Schenkman. The highlight of this performance was her un- accompanied work, the Beethoven E minor Sonata. Op, 90, with Apassionata in the first movement. The undulations of recurring strength and deli- cacy of technique exhibited by the artist were testi- monial to the truth that Hmusic hath charms to unite souls of which no other medium of com- munication cas boast. HlVIother America is a deeply felt evaluation of the American contribution to world democracy as evidenced by the American program for the Philippines. Colonel Romulo completely outlines the situation in the East and tells us that we must be prepared to go to the peace table with a practical program ready. It is his conviction that if the United Nations follow that pattern used by America in the Philippines, we can make friends of the native population, but if they are literally made strangers in their own country, they will always justly rebel. He points out that only in. the Phillipines, where the native has been placed on an equal basis with the white man and educated to assume his own responsibilities, did the native population support the mother country. THE SCROLL This enchanting opera was brought to the Peri- style of the Toledo llluseum of Art last October. Stella Andreva, as Violetta, was truly at her best. A Metropolitaxi star of no mean repute, she enlivened and gave real charm to this classic role, as she sang her Way through the tragic tale of the fashionable courtesan who sought redemption through a great self-sacrificing, passionate love. Jacques Gerard, as Alfredo Germont, filled his part adequately. If disappointment registered in the attitude of the audience concerning M. Gerardls acting ability, it was more than a little diminished in the pleasure afforded by his singing of the arias in his full, magnificent tenor, The third principal, Annina, was played by Laura Caseltana, who lent a pleasing airiness to the production. Summarily, the performance was well done, and it takes only a slight effort of the imagination to realize hovv exciting this nervous, staccato music must have been to the audience of a hundred years La Traviata By Verdi Opera Review By Mary Agnes Dolan '45 ago who heard it for the first time. Day Jet skies fade to deep sea blue, Dwindling stars reluctantly die out, The rising sun casts a golden hue, And soon a day has come about. Glistening carpets of green, we see, By the rays of the noonday beams, Crispy leaves play gleefully, With the whispering breeze, it seems. The gleam of day is a sinking trail, Creeping shadows are faintly cast, Darkness spreads over all a veil, And now the day has passed. -Lois MURPHY '45 THE SCROLL False Idol --MARY LYNNE GIERINGER '45 Bly heart almost stopped beating!

I could hardly wait to open it. It might have been that sophisticated black dress I had my eye on, or a pair of bunny fur mittens, or a sloppy fuschia cardigan, or a black patent leather purse- why it might have been any of those things. Any one could have fit wonderfully in that box. How I anticipated the in- side! Had I guessed?

THE SCROLL 45 Superstitions - ROSEMARY IVIENARD '45. Nlany people would never think of walking under a ladder, but they sel- dom know the reason. This supersti- tion arises from the fact that when a ladder leans against the wall it forms a triangle, and is symbolical of the Trin- ity, thus the ordinary layman of olden days considered himself debarred from passing through such a sacred arch. But may I add that if you happen to forget this, cross your fingers and keep them that way until you see a tail-less dog. i' 'k Did you know that in various parts of the South Pacific Islands, where the practise of taking the manls name after marriage has been adopted, the girls are strictly forbidden to marry anyone whose name begins with the same letter as hers, for it will bring disaster upon her and her family. Did you know that when a China- man is bothered by rats he doesn't re- sort to poison?

All she has to do is pull up a cabbage, if only a little earth clings to the roots, the man will be poor, if a great deal of earth sticks to the roots, the man will have to be wealthy, for this is a tried and proven superstition of the Irish not to be scoffed at by American realists, Hollow Victory Continued from page 18 Herbie smiled a self-satisfied smile, days later, after he had successfully dated Bobbie every knight. Why shouldn't he smile? He was a success, he had won her heart. One day, a week later, in Pinkel- heimerys, Hawknose and Joe told Herbie that football practice had started and they both had been accepted on the varsity. That news hit Herbie hard. In the past he had been athletic and looked forward to playing on the var- sity, but he had successfully worked all summer on getting weak. VVhat a hol- low victory? So to drown his sorrow-to smother this tragedy he despairingly sat down and revenged himself with two banana splits and a hot chocolate sundae. 46 THE SCROLL The Seasons The Artist sits on a fleecy cloiidg Over His easel His head is bowed. He dips His brush in a liquid green And lo! beholds an emerald screen. Brilliant colors here and there, Snrpassing all the gems so fair.

But green's restored, not to ojend, Since the seasons have no end. -TESS BURNOR '45 KKKKKCFQ ,.t.. .g. .t Apostleship or Prayer The freshman class of St. Ursula Academy has the Apostleship of Prayer as its special activity. The aim of the promoter is to inspire a deeper love for the Sacred Heart, not only of every St. Ursula girl, but to spread this devotion to others. Active participation of three hundred students to carry out these aims and a successful subscription drive for the Illessenger, are the best means we have of accomplishing our purpose. The drive for Messenger subscriptions, which closed in October, was a record- breaker. All classes cooperated beauti- fully and a grand total of S205 was sent to New York headquarters of the Sacred Heart. This is double the num- ber of subscriptions sent in last year. Josephine Goulet, who brought in 31 subscriptions, Phyllis .De Vera, 15g and Evelyn Lenhart, 18 were awarded prizes. Our unit of the Apostleship of Prayer dates back to January 1875, when the first group of names was en- tered in the register. From that time on all students of St. Ursula's have been enrolled. With this year's freshman class the membership in our register has reached 8,898 members, Our Lady's Committee Our Lady's Committee was formed solely for the purpose of fostering de- votion to the lyfother of God. Since the organization of the Student League, it has been the privilege of the seniors to care for all activities pertaining to this committee. The Committee's initial effort, the Queenfv Work' campaign, under the leadership of Carolyn Frueh and Gerry Zellers, representatives, resulted in a total of seventy-four subscriptions. ' Before each special feast of Our Lady the seniors arrange to have The Little Office of The Blessed Virgin recited by -Y-5 I-v 3' FD G 5 f-r :E . fi cn 0 D' O O I 3 O I-f D' fb '-1 O P+. rr D' fb O 9 5' I tudent Spzrltual Councll I' I I' L L L f T 0 f I' L I I F L L 'L f I I' I I I I I I 1 B I I f I' 'L f L L 1 L I mittee's projects is supplying the pam- phlet rack in the main corridor with timely reading material. Legion of Mary For some years the Legion of Rlary has been in existence at St, Ursula's. lt has the honor of being the only Prae- sidium in Toledo. lt is an association devoted to spiritual works of mercy. It began twenty-three years ago in a small back room of a house in Dublin, Ireland. There, on the eve of the feast of the Nativity, seventeen people from various walks of life met to map out a campaign for checking the flood of immorality which after the World War had infected Dub- lin as well as the rest of the world. From that humble little room, the Le- gion has spread to every corner of the world: Scotland, England, United States, Canada, India, Africa, China, Egypt, Palestine, and Holland. It has been established in schools, homes, churches, public buildings, and army and navy camps. In the United States alone, there are 100,000 members operating from a thousand branches located in almost every stateg while the prayers of the Legion have been printed in some forty languages and dialects. The Legion is divided into two parts -active and auxiliary membership. Active members attend weekly meetings, devote an hour or more to spiI'itual work and recite the Legion prayer, the lVIagnificat.'l The auxiliary member- ship is for those who are unable to at- tend the meetings but who back the work of the active members by their daily recitations of the Rosary. Thus, the purpose of the Legion of Mary is the sanctification of soulsg first of all, it seeks to sanctify its own members, and then through them, to draw others to holiness. 48 THE SCROLL The Praesidium at St. Ursula's is that of Our Lady of Sorrows. The fourteen active members are engaged in reading to the sick, teaching catechism, collecting magazines and rosaries for hospitals and camps and acting as -as- sistant sacristans in the parish churches. Eucharistic Committee Through the efforts of this commit- tee there are in chapel every day girls who offer their prayers to Christ, Qur King, in the Blessed Sacrament, for the welfare of the school. Christ Courtiers have pledged fifteen minutes a Week, or more, and are reminded daily of their promise by the charts which are posted on the bulletin board. These charts. prepared by Patricia lVIcGreer, lVIary Jo Nfedford, and Jeanne lVIcKeovvn, are varied in color and carry the names of the 'pledgees and the corresponding hours of adoration, Representatives from the various homerooms include: Angela Guerin, Janet Sheperd, Carol Kenney, Patricia lN1cGreer, Joan Manioxi, Patricia De- Viney, Jane Clifford, Evelyn Lenhart, and Patricia Werrell. These girls are responsible for promoting devotion to the Sacred Heart in their individual rooms, especially by encouraging the re- ception of Holy Communion every First Friday. Cn November 2, All Souls' Day, the number of students making visits to the chapel to gain a plenary iI'lf!1'lf 'CC for the Poor Souls was very edifying. We hope each one will continue to do her part in making this organization as much a success as it has been in the past. Catholic Action Answering the appeal of the late Pius XI, St. Ursula girls, as well as Catholic students in other parts of the world, are endeavoring to spread the cause of Christ into our environment. Catholic Action is a lay organization under the protection and guidance of the hierarchy. Each year it Works on a different phase of the task of restoring all things to Christ. Some of the problems considered Were those of student relation to author- ity and student to student. They have tried to improve the attitude of their classmates toward necessary school regu- lations by individual influence, through direct contacts, or by group action and good example. Since the family is the birthplace of Christian education and character de- velopment, the organization also plan- ned to introduce a family spirit into school life as the work for the year. During October C.A.S. encouraged the family recitation of the rosary as part of their program. Posters were put on the bulletin board and frequent reminders helped to revive this old Catholic custom. By continuing this daily rosary throughout the year Ursu- line girls hope to make this their war effort. - Missions St. Ursula's is truly Super lklission- Minded,' this year. The representatives resolved in the very beginning to make this the most outstanding year in the history of the school, On November sixth the sophomore class really started the ball rolling by presenting a very inspiring play en- titled First Fruits. The Chairman, Nlary Ruth Hartnett, introduced to the student body, the starring players, who Were as follows: Helene Bruen, Ann Kelley, Nfarney Hinde, llffarcia Hoff- man, Carol Cready, Lou Ann Koerber, Pat DeViney, and Mary Sharon Greene. At the close of the play Father VVest- hoven, a missionary from China, com- plimented the girls on their good Work and explained to the school the condi- tions in China at the present time, and pleaded for vocations and prayers. - During the week following Missioii Sunday each class collected a good por- tion of its dues for the year. Besides this, each homeroom has been busily ab- sorbed in selling Christmas cards and seals, preparing Christmas baskets for the poor, collecting cancelled stamps, and having raffles. THE SCROLL 49 A mi Chronicle -A-:ff Q First Day of School September ll, 1944! The first day of school found the 78 new freshman cautiously making their way from class to class. The sophomores resumed their classes ever-mindful of their raised dis- tinction. The juniors were now happy at the prospect of being upperclassmen. The seniors, making use of their newly acquired seniority, were looking forward to an eventful year. Whether new or old, each girl was happy to be among the 309 students of St. Ursulays this year. Welcome I A change of faculty has brought Sister Nlary Blanche to us as our new principal. We extend a most hearty welcome, Sister, and wish you every success in your new position. Faculty Changes A change in the weather, a change in the sea , and a change it is at St. Ursula's this year. The first big sur- prise upon returning this fall was to find Sister Mary Blanche, principal, re- placing Sister Mildred, who had been appointed to Mary Manse College. Other changes concerned the French and Spanish classes, where Sister St. Pierre and lyliss lylelba Dominquez were found replacing lylrs. McMahon and Senora Gonzales, respectively, Fond farewells were also exchanged with the Rev. George P. Buckley, form- er religion instructor, who is continuing his mission work in the South. Father Buckley was replaced by the Rev. Wil- liam Lawless, who came to Toledo from the Oblate House of Studies in Wash- ington, D. C., where he was ordained last June. Freshman Initiation The sophomores reserved no pity for the Greenhorns this Freshman Day. During the homeroom period the fresh- men were taken over to Urban Hall and treated true to fashion. Although the period lasted only forty-five minutes it was rumored that the sophomores avenged themselves all day, War Chest Help all three, our fighting men, our allies, and our neighbor . This was the motto of our War Chest drive this year from October 4 to 25. The splen- did spirit of cooperation received from the girls was deeply appreciated, and the school was awarded a certificate of merit for reaching the desired quota. Class Elections Each year the classes of S.U.A. choose their class representatives by means of the secret ballot. The results of the balloting this year are as follows: Seniors President ...............,,. Patricia Carstensen Vice-President ................ Suzanne Straub Secretary ......................

Special mention should be given here to Virginia Sarno, who took top honors by soliciting thirty-three patronsg to Patricia Hanlon, who brought in twenty-eight, and to Patricia King, who had ten to her credit. Quarterly Exams ltls really funny how studious St, Ursula girls become at the end of every nine weeks. Could it be the thought of exams? Here's hoping all fared well. M ary M anse-S t. Ursula Lecture Series The first lecture of the season was given by Eddie Doherty of the Chicago Sun, Friday, November 17, in the Ursu- line Auditorium.

' St. Ursulzis Day October 21, the feast of the patronal saint of the Academy, St. Ursula, was celebrated with traditional dignity and sentiment. Nlass and Holy Communion were held in the chapel, followed by breakfast served in the tea house, with the compliments of lllother Superior and the Faculty, The girls later assembled in the audi- torium where Patricia Carstensen, senior class p1'esident, opened the semi-annual Student League lkleeting. Officers of the organization took part: Joanne Schlageter, secretary, read the minutes of the May 27 meeting, Suzanne Straub, vice-president, read the Constitutiong Rosemarie Blanchard reviewed the life of St. Ursula. Following this the fresh- men were received into the League. Activities for the coming year were outlined by the various class representa- tives. Judith Bargmann, freshman re- ported on The Apostleship of Prayerg Betty Bridenbaugh, sophomore, on the lklissionsg Patricia McGreer, junior, on the Eucharistic Committee, Virginia Kaufman, junior, on the Legion of Mary, Carolyn Frueh, senior, on Our Lady's Committee, Rosalie Greenwood, sophomore, on the Red Cross. Con- cluding the reports, Patricia Stalder en- couraged the girls to participate in the social and cultural extracurricular ac- tivities. Father Lawless presented the Scroll awards to the winners and an- nounced the co-editors. The meeting closed with the singing of the school song. Orchestra and Glee Club Strains of music Hoat to the ears of the art students as they pass to and fro around the auditorium. What is it? The Orchestra and Glee Club, of course, They can vouch for the fact that both musical units are very much on the job. Great things are expected from them. Although no seniors are represented in the Glee Club this year, the under- classmen are more than compensating, if one can judge of his hearing.
