We have always venerated Cardinal Newman, theologian, teacher, and writer. As a tribute to him in this, the centenary of his conversion to Catholicism, Patricia King, in her article, Lead Kindly Light , has reviewed his life and works in a way that will help to know and love him more. tk H4 fl: The poetry of the English Jesuit, Gerard Manley Hopkins, is the subject of janet Sheperd's treatise. After the reading one will readily understand why Father Hopkins came by the title, The Prie.i'I of Pnelry and Poet of llve Prie.fllmr1d .

This was the birth of the Scroll! That same November our baby Scroll took her first step. And a delighted Ursuline Academy gave its whole-hearted approval. None were so proud as the first Scroll staff, who, under the vigilance and meticulous supervision of Sister Ancilla, 'their first moderator, had done so much to give our baby her start in life. The first Scroll had a cover of blue and ivory. Its simplicity made it the more attractive. Its twenty-four pages were representative of the cooperative spirit so typical of an Ursuline student. The ma- jority of the pages displayed short articles and clever verses announcing the new addition. This little ditty is typical of the celebration which greeted the first appearance of baby Scroll: Spell It S ir for the Scroll, U.A.'r new magazine, C if for ilr clarry style, the clariiert we'z'e reen,' R ir for llae realiinl, for ufhicla the paperfr noted, O ir for the 0ll'lI6l'.f, who on lhir thing have clotedg L ir for iri' langlaler, tha! newer brizzgr 4 pam, I. ir for lhe happy link llne Scroll if in your chain. -M. NOLAN '22 The Scroll then was published in four issues while today it is semiannual. It contained many columns which yet grace our pages. Through the years the edi- torial section has carried comments on the timely topics of discussion at various periods through the past twenty-five years. Once it contained a special column telling of important happenings of our alumnae on the Mary Manse campus. Since then, SALLY O'CoNNEL1. '45 however, it has been merged with the regular alumnae column. We can turn to this column when we want to learn of the whereabouts of some school chum whom we have not seen in years. It also records history in chronogolical order be- cause of the bearing on the lives of the alumnae themselves. For example, in its pages we find that our Ursuline uniform didn't come into being until early in 1923. Then, too, all the memorable events in the Church, which have hap- pened since 1920, can be traced in the form of letters, editorials, and essays through the pages of our beloved Scroll. Link with the Past Today, as we celebrate her Silver Jubi- lee, many classmates of former years can be proud of the work that their very own children are doing to help the same Scroll that they strove so diligently to promote. Each column and each article clearly shows the influence of the work of years past. Each new year leaves its indelible mark not only in the book it- self but in the hearts of those who have striven to make it what it is today-an engaging record of our four happy years at Saint Ursula Academy. Moderators It is with much gratitude and apprecia- tion that we extend our many thanks to the faithful moderators from the very first, Sister M. Ancilla, and the many since: Mother Mary john, Sister Regina Marie, Sister M. Mildred, Sister Mary David, to the present moderator, Sister M. Lelia, for the hours and hours spent in directing and improving our work. Since it is the twenty-hfth anniversary of the first issue we were sure that many of the former editors would have a par- ticular memory about the year they edited the Scroll. Upon request we received many interesting letters and we are print- ing excerpts, The first letter from Sister Virginia Marie QGladys Ludwig '21j we are giving almost in its entirety, for it so 6 THE SCROLL clearly links our I9-ii issue with the very tirst one. Baby Scroll opened its tiny eyes dur' ing the period immortalized recently by Our Hearts XX'ei'e Young and Gay. The twenty-nine seniors tsome ot' whom created in their circle as great a sensation by their newly-bobbed heads as the con- current Mac Swiney hunger strike, were very coitlieur-minded, which helped to bring about infant Scroll solilocluizing on the modern girl. XXfhen the baby ap- peared the editors were so proud ol the little creature that they sought recognif tion lor it from the great and those who were in high places.

All that just couldn't happen Linder one roof ! l In the library, Barb, a staunch member of the bobby-sox brigade, was complete- ly under the spell of her ideal hunk o' man king, Frankie Sinatra. Time after time, with disgruntled moans, she would increase the volume to drown out the squeals of young Willie, supposedly being persecuted by his father, who insisted it was time now that Willie parted with his last baby tooth. Walt, stop being so childish and let Willie alone so Barb can listen to her program, you know she has to report on it at the next 'Bobby Sox' meeting, said Martha. By the way, don't forget we have a dinner engagement at judge Har- grove's tonight. You'd better get ready now, you know how long it takes you to fix your tie. Barb sighed and stared blissfully into the gold fish bowl as she listened in peace to The Voice. . At last all seemed quiet on the john- son front and Walt stood at the mirror to give his tie that last touch. Are you ready, Martha? he asked. Yes, except to put my beads on. That's funny, they aren't here. I wore them to Molly Crockett's tea just last Tuesday and I distinctly remember put- ting them back in this jewelry case. Excitement over a string of beads is rare unless they happen to have the en- dearing past that these jewels have, They were handed down from generation to generation to the eldest girl of the fam- ily. When she attained the age of twenty- one they were presented to her by her mother and were cherished throughout her life, or until her daughter reached the age of twenty-one. Now, Martha, don't get excited over them, you've no doubt misplaced them. PATRICIA FRITTER '45 In a few days they'll turn up, your mem- ory often plays tricks on you, smiled Walt. jumping to her feet Martha rum- maged through the jewel box once more and finally answered her husband, No, I'm sure they were right here. Walt, do you suppose that girl I had clean the house stole them? Or maybe somebody broke in last night when we went to the movie. No matter, we aren't going any- where until I find them. Half smiling, yet a trifle worried, Walt suggested asking the children if they knew anything about the missing crystals. I'll ask them, he stated helpfully. Ouch! who in heaven's name left this skate in the hall? I almost broke my neck. It was me, Pop, snickered Willie. Listen here, Willie, this is no time for jokes. Do you know what happened to Mother's beads? Haven't seen them, Pop, answered Willie. What do they look like? Oh! never mind, Walt said pain- fully. Where is Barb? Leaning down to pick up the skate, Willie grinned wearily. Don't know, Pop, she's around somewhere. What's up, Dad , , . I heard a terrible bang? Did Willie's bed fall down again? asked Barb. Gripping his back, Walt said, No, not this time, but I want to ask you something. Have you seen . . . Excuse me Dad, that must be jim. It's Saturday and my night out. Bye now! Kiss Mother for me! In a frenzy Martha ran down the stairs and grasped the phone. Hello, police station, this is Mrs. Walter John- son, 710 Keaton Road. Somebody has stolen my prize crystals! No, no, not my pistols. What in the world would I be doing with pistols? Crystals, C as in call. That's right. Their value? Approx- imately two thousand dollars. Come right away. Yes, 710 Keaton Road. My heavens, Walt, I may never find 8 THE SCROLL them and Barbara will be deprived of them the rest of her life! When did the police say they would be here? Walt broke in, About a half hour or so, answered Martha. Police Officer Mike O'I.eary arrived at the scene forty-five minutes later. The usual data was put on record. When did you first miss the jewels, Mrs. john- son? was Mike's pertinent query. Wringing her hands, Martha answered in a troubled tone, It was this evening when I was dressing to go out. I just know someone took them, probably Betsy. She cleans the house, and several times she'd remarked how beautiful the crystals were. I know she had no idea of the value of them. Maybe the poor girl wanted them to wear to the ball. Her steady is home on furlough and she may have figured I wouldnt miss them for a day or two. Oh, dear! l should have kept them locked up. lf that's the solution, all we have to do is call her up, put in Walt. Mike O'Leary stood on tiptoes, slipped his agile hands into his pockets, and came down with a thump. In his delightful brogue he remarked, In the name of Saint Patrick, me good people, what am I doin' here if ye have the case solved? Wait a minute, officer, Walt said, We-'re only trying to help. To Mrs. johnson's satisfaction, Betsy turned out to be innocent, and the case went unsolved that evening. The next morning Barb dashed down the steps and exclaimed, Mother, your crystals! The paper states that you're offering a reward for them. Oh, Mother! I feel terrible because it's all my fault. You see I took them yesterday and tried them on. I wanted to see how luscious I'd look when I inherited them. Andy-- --and-when I took them off, they got tangled in my sweater and I broke them. Martha looked a little dubious. My heavens, dear! Where are they? In deep study Barb proceeded to re- store the elusive crystals. She arose from the floor and spoke in a frightened voice. Mother, they're gone! I put them right here in an envelope. The mystery, so near being solved, seemed almost determined to remain in that state. Officer O'Leary, noted for his annihilation of crime, remained alert in checking all leads. That evening at dinner Willie con- stantly interrupted his parents. Walt and Martha finally gave up their conversation regarding different theories about the mystery to listen to their insistent son. Willie, surprised to hnd that he had obtained the spotlight for the first time since dinner began, fumbled around with his words for awhile and then said, Wowl It sure is tough to get a word in around here. Now let's see, what was I gonna tell you. Darn it, I forgot. Oh, well, johnny I-Iargrove and I got in a terrible fight today. He said I crooked his prize agate. What would I want with his old shooters, when everybody knows I have the best collection in the school. How about shooting a game after dinner, Pop? His weary father looked quite ready te answer in the negative when he caught a meaningful look from Martha and re- plied animatedly, It's a game, if it will keep you happy, But I warn you, I was a champ when I was your age. After dinner Willie selected his prize shooters and handed the collection to his father. Take any one you want, he directed. I'd let you use one of these but thc-y're new, and swell shots too. Walter peeped over his glasses and winked at Martha, XWhat's the matter. son, afraid l'll trim you? Oh no, not at all, just being care- ful , Willie remarked assuredly. Martha sank deep into her chair, and lifted the sewing kit upon her lap. With shoes off and toes turned to the warmth of the fireplace, she looked in dismay at the large holes in Willie's socks. After working with constant effort on the practically irreparable sock, she re- marked with pride, Wifhout a doubt, that is the best job I've ever done, and arose slowly from her chair. Upon reach- ing the mending pile she screamed, Yeow l l l Then she stopped to re- trieve Willie's runaway shooter. Glory be! My pistolsfl mean my crystals!

So it is when a great man dies, the world is illumi- nated by his influence long after his death. Little wonder then, that we of 1945 still cherish with respect the mem- ory of an inspired actor in the great drama of religion, who one hundred years ago made his startling exodus from the Church of England and his humble entrance into the Catholic Church of Rome. The influence of this action serves as a permanent memorial to his great genius as a theologian, teacher, and writer. His name is Cardinal Newman Newman raced through his elementary education and at the age of sixteen be- came a student at Trinity College, Ox- ford. where in recognition of his high scholastic standing, he was elected to a Fellowship at Oriel. As a result, how- ever, of his diligent pursuit of study and his avid search for knowledge, there came also to his very active mind a new restless feeling that Newman himself described as thoughts from another world. In a letter to his parents he wrote, I dreamed a spirit came to me and discoursed about another world: it said it was absolutely impossible for the reason of man to understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity and in vain to argue about it, but that everything in another world was so very, very plain that there was not the slightest difficulty about it. This sounds the Hrst note of skepticism that overshadowed the great scholar's mind. Paraxcm KING '45 Persevering in the Anglican Seminary, he was ordained on May 29, 1825, and shortly thereafter became Vicar of St. Mary's University Church. ln 1829 New man took a Mediterranean cruise and the leisure for concentrated thought afforded him by this voyage found vent in poetry. These writings show his state of mind at this period and give an indication of more misgivings and forebodings that were destined to lead to his conversion thirteen years later. When he returned to England, Newman found himself in the midst of an acute religious crisis, which prompted him to write his famous Tracts for the Times and as a result the seeds of the Tractarian or Oxford Movement were sown. Oxford lVl0vc-ment The aim of the Oxford Movement, the first phase of which originated with- in the Church of England in 1833, was tc- awaken a new and elevated religious life. To this end Newman gave all his strength and genius. I-le became its very soul. Gradually under his leadership the Movement veered away from the An- glican Church and opened a wide path in the Catholic direction that was to lead to Newman's secession to Rome and eventually to the Catholic Revival in England. Historians tell us in referring to Newman and the Movement, that no living man had so changed the religious thought of England and that the effects of his efforts will remain active for gen- erations to come. Realizing the break with Oxford and the Anglican Church was inevitable, 10 THE SCROLL Newman withdrew to I.ittlemore. I.onely and disappointed, he directed all his ef- forts at this time to writing his Essay on Christian Doctrinenf the tracing of the evolution of religious dogma. Wlieii he started this profound work he was still in name an Anglican: before he completed it he had made his formal submission to Rome. Now the plea found in his poem, Lead, Kindly Light , was answeredg the vision of peace de- scended upon him. Very quietly john Newman made his confession and Com- munion as a Catholic in the private Ora- tory at Littlemore on October 9, lt-4-ii, and was soon to be followed by many of Oxfords illustrious sons. Brastow, '1 non-Catholic philosopher, writes that XWhen Newman entered the Catholic Church, he went home. He entered it as with a shout of exultation. The rest- lessness and confusion of uncertainty vanish and his entire subsequent career indicates that it was a joyful emancipa- tion. lll'tIIlHlII0ll After a novitiate in Rome Newman was ordained to the Catholic priesthood by Pope Pius IX on May 30, IS-IS. Two years later another triumph was written across the pages of his life when the re- establislunent of the Catholic Hierarchy in lfngland was no longer a vague and distant aspiration but a reality. Despite great opposition, Catholic lingland was restored to its orbit in the ecclesiastical tirmamentf' This was truly a day of glory and the words of Newman, who preached on this occasion, form a monu- ment that will stand forever. For the text of his sermon entitled The Second Spring he took a verse from the Cane ticle of Canticle-s : Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one, and come, For the winter is now passed, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have appeared in our land. Irilerature At this point in his career Newman seems to have given full sway to his lit- erary talent, although few things would have been less welcome to him than to hear himself referred to as a man of let- ters. He was a priest first and last, and everything he wrote was conceived with the direct purpose of advancing Gods Kingdom on earth. His aim was to set forth through the medium of language the visions by which he himself was in- spired. In so doing he produced works which for grace and charm, for power and simplicity, stand almost alone in our language and earn for him the title of Master of lfnglish Prose. His well-known essay, written while he was rector of Dublin University, on the Idea of a University , in which he defines the aim of education, is unparal- leled for clearness of thought and rare beauty of diction. I.ikewise his Apologia pro Vita Sua has been proclaimed a true classic, outstanding for its vigorous pre- cision and written to set forth the pro- cesses by which the author was led into the Catholic Church. In the realm of poetry, too, his place is one of rare distinction. Only the vision of the theologian, as well as the vibrant faith of the man, could produce a work like The Dream of Gerontius , the most majestic description of what lies beyond the pale of death that has ever been published. True, the subjects with which he deals dwell in a region seem ingly visionary to us, but real indeed to himg for his genius lies in his sense of the invisible. He speaks to some of every generation, and those whose hearts and minds are open to his message hear a music and behold a vision which is out of the realm of the earthly. Wlierc' then shall we place him in the hall of writers? Surely among the im- mortals, for his scholarly writings are among the most glorious jewels of our literary heritage, Long before he took his final rest, the minds and hearts of an admiring world had turned to Card- inal Newman and in recognition of his signal services for the Catholic Cause, Pope I.eo XIII, in 1870, conferred upon him the Cardinal's Hat. Honor and ac- claim now rewarded his untiring zeal. larsl Days Gradually the weakness of extreme old age had come upon him. He preached fContinued on page 631 THE SCROLL 11 Disciple Timmy XV C' ATHER GLEN HAMILTON, tall, blonde, and twenty-eight, came to Saint Catherines in May in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-three. Because the people of the town were always a little conservative in welcoming a stranger into their midst, he wasn't too enthusiastically received by the community. Father Glen, as he came to be called, possessed of the zeal which youth and the grace of the priesthood bestow, soon dissipated their reluctance to accept him and everyone was calling him friend , One day, after the good Father had been at his new post for about three months, he found it necessary to go down to the union depot to pick up some luggage that had been delayed in ship- ment. He was on his way to the baggage room of the station, when he heard, Fa-, Father Hamilton. He turned, and there directly behind him stood a small boy-a lad about ten years old. Well, hello there. And who are you? I'm Timmy! the child declared. I'm very glad to meet you, Timmy, the priest smiled warmly. What are you doing down here? Oh, my pop is a brakeman on the JEAN QUIGLIZY '45 train.

The way that you told about the little boy who grew up to be King of everything. Father Hamilton smiled. It wasn't I who was wonderful, Tim. It was the Little Boy Whom I was talking about. Would you tell me about -f about Him, please, Father? Of course, Tim. Come over to the car and we'll have ourselves a nice talk. After walking hand in hand to the priest's car, the two sat for over an hour. X3C'hen Father looked at his watch, he discovered that it was later than he thought. Well, son, it looks as if we'll have to finish this some other day. Tomorrow, Father Tomorrow, Timmy. ?n That evening, back in the rectory. Father Hamilton was reading over his sermon for the coming Sunday when suddenly the telephone rang. St. Catherines Father Hamilton speaking. Father, this is Mike Howes from the station. I was wondering if you would come down right away. He paused. Little Timmy Burnett was hurt tonight on the tracks and he has been asking for you, and- I'll be right there!

Asked to write a poem commemor- ating the death of five Franciscan nuns who perished in the Deutschland disaster, Gerard Manley Hopkins 0844-1889j wrote his first great work, The Wreck of the Defzlrrlalaml. While a period of poetic silence lay behind this poem, so also did seven years of study and re- ligious meditation. Hopkins had not neglected his study of poetry. He had taught rhetoric, and devoted considerable time to the prob- lems of prosody. In the poetry he now began to write he created a rhythm which had been haunting him, and which re- sulted in poetry different from any he had ever written. In this new experience he brought an aspect of reality to his work. Hopkins viewed the universe as filled with meaning and significance which gave him an opportunity for ex- pression in an entirely new manner. In his new way of life he found fulfillment in the praise, reverence, and service of God. Father of Modern Verse Accredited with being the father of modern verse, Hopkins has an original- ity and a freshness superior to many of his contemporaries. He cleverly avoided the cliches of Romanticism, he seems by this invention in verse to have over- powered the poetic language of his time. Father Hopkins' poems were not pub- lished during his life, but remained in obscurity until Robert Bridges, sensing their worth, collected and published a first edition of them in 1918, and a sec- ond in 1931. Hopkins was not immedi- ately comprehensible to the reading pub- lic. Often he verged on the mystical. There was an acute feeling of restraint in his approach. Yet the frankness, vigor, and enthusiasm of his writings have ex- erted definite influence on modern poetry. JANET SHIZPIERD '-15 The reader is conscious always of the fact that Hopkins was a priestg thus the encomium, The Priest of Poetry and the Poet of the Priesthood is most fitting. Conversion In the quarter of a century since the first appearance of his works, critics have alternately attacked him as an eccentric and hailed him as a genius. He began his writing before entering Oxford, but while there his works show definitely the influence of the Oxford Movement, as well as the teachings of his professors, Wfalter Pater and Benjamin jowett. About a year after he received his degree from Oxford, Hopkins was converted to Catholicism, and shortly thereafter ap- plied for admission in the Society of Jesus. Filled with gratitude for the gift of faith, he resolved to devote all his time to the exercise of his religious duties. He spent his energy in teaching, preaching, and meditation in scrupulous compliance with the Jesuit rule. He burned all his old manuscripts and re- solved to relinquish his writing. He de- voted his life to the love of God, the love of art, and of scholarship. He studied deeply and read assiduously. He could not acquiesce in the pagan phil- osophy of the nineteenth century. It had been secularized beyond redemption, ex- cept that redemption which could come only from the principle from which Euro' pean art and scholarship had originally sprung-the sanctity of the founders of Christian culture. In Hopkins' deep love of God, he dedicated himself solely to the truths scorned by a pagan world. Hopkins had a passionate love of Christg and during his early religious life the Exerri.re.r of Sf. Igmztiur gave great strength and purpose to his love. The exhortation, Man was created to praise , contained in these same exer- cises, gave him deep inspiration and en- during impetus in the devotion of his religious life. After seven years Hopkins emerged 14 THE SCROLL l 1 from his retirement a new poet with a new diction, a new form, and a new in- spiration. He then wrote 'Ilia llwierk of lla' lJeffl.IrlIl.uI.l. and although it was his first poem in several years, critics have called It the apex of his work. Its theme is the realization that Christianity is in- tegral and absolute. Ipse, the only one, Christ, King, Head g this line contains the meaning of the entire poem, which is Christ. lt is the story of the Passion and the Redemption reflected in the lives of meng it explains how Christ draws souls to Him through suffering and sacri- fice, heedless of all else but their salva- tion. lt portrays the infinite love of the Crucified, yearning for the return of His love by those beneath the Cross, and it reminds us that submission to Christ is our only true deliverance, The poem closes iII a storm of invocations mount- ing in his majesty of music to the very end. In the Ilwrexi of llve lJc'lll.ltl7lI1I!Ll the poet proclaims the beauty of his vision of the world, seen through a drop of Christ's blood by which everything whatever was turned to scarlet, keeping nevertheless mounted in the scarlet its own color too. New Horizons Indirectly the poem refers to Hopkins himself, 'lille ll recif uf flu' De1ff.I't'lIlt11Itl divided definitely the two periods of Hop- kins' work: between his early verse and his great poetry, between Oxford and the Society of jesus. This new and greater poetry differs from his earlier verse iII far Inore than form and meter. In 'Ilia Il reclf of ilu' lJe.ffl.IrlIl,1ml liather Hop- kins proved that he had advanced to a new vision of the world and of man in which he saw God in all things and all things in God. ln Gmlfi' Giuimlmi' Hopkins proclaims the world of natural beauty as news of Cod. ln its opening lines he represents nature as the reflection of the Creator. This poem shows too the enthusiasm of the lover of nature for the constant ref newal of natural beauty --- daybreak Charged with the grandeur of God. The poet deplores man's use of nature - his failure to employ created things. Truly Gmffi' Gil'.Il1t!L'lll' is representative of Hopkins' great lyric poetry. Nlaisti-I'pIei'e Perhaps the best evaluation of a man's work comes from himself. Hopkins con- sidered 'I'lIe ll imllwI'eI' his masterpiece. He reverently dedicated it to Christ Our Lord. The deep source of his genius is shown in this work coming from the happiness of a soul in sanctifying grace. In the flight of the windhover, the bird doomed to crash in gold vermillionu, Hopkins shows the deep spirituality in which his life was climaxed by his last words, I am so happy, l am so happy! liather Hopkins' devotion was an an- swer to the atheism and the skeptical spirit of an age wavering between a dis- carded religion and a science it feared to accept. To him religion was not a de- partment of lifeg it was its essence. lt is not unusual that his genius was not recognized during his lifetime. That his place among our foremost Catholic poets is established is shown by the excellent eulogies written on the occasion of his centenary. Our Lady ol' l,l'll4'l' Her ctiliu' it lzllfe.

VIRGINIA SAIINII '-ii THE SCROLL 15 This Is Sweet REAMS, they say, usually do come true. Let us hope that if your dreams are any- thing like mine, there are exceptions to this rule. I must have been exceptionally hungry the other night, for after I fell asleep, I found myself walking down the street and passing a barber shop. The red-and-white striped barber's pole was a big peppermint candy stick and all the customers were tiny, little gingerbread men. Coming to a busy intersection, I saw in the middle of the street a chubby marshmallow traffic cop holding an enormous all-day sucker colored green for go and red for stop, Soon, as I walked along the street, flanked on each side with delicious looking candy liousesfexactly like the witch's in Hamel and Grelel-I came to the country where huge cookies in shapes of chickens, horses, cows, and sheep with red candy eyes were grazing in fields of shredded cocoanut. All of a sudden, a tasty angel food cake mountain rose about five hundred feet in front of me. It was built in so many tiers, it seemed to touch the sky. I ran and ran to reach it, but it kept moving away ahead of me. It would move just as I seemed to be close enough to reach out and take a bite, until finally it melted completely into nothingness. With disillusionment I turned into the field and approached a small pond. Its clear waters were so appealing that I decided to cool my tired, aching feet. After I had immersed one foot, I discovered it was a sticky maple syrup lake and the lily pads were round, fat pancakes. I turned back and started for home when a licorice gum drop horse came galloping toward me. He was about to pounce upon and trample me when faithful Big Ben announced in ringing tones the arrival of seven-thirty. SUZANNE HEATLEY '45 The Blind See y HE Armistice signed! Peace once more. Peace, peace, these words keep running through his mind, unbelievable words, Unreal! Unreal to Mike lying on a hos- pital bed, his head swathed in bandages. Too good to be true! Now, after all those horrible months of going through hell-it was like walking from a terrifying nightmare into a living room. How he wanted to jump out of bed and yell-yell at the top of his lungs, but Mike couldn't do this, not without breaking open his wounds. That hand grenade had done a good job. The cheering outside was driving him crazy, if only they'd let him see what was going on, if only they'd let him see. Five days of agony, five days of wondering whether you would live or die. Silence, if only they'd talk instead of that constant whispering. The doctors--what do they know! The wounds were healingg yet, they wanted to operate againg all right let them! Maybe then those hcad-bandages would come off. Once, somewhere in France in the thick of the fighting, he found himself praying to God for help. Now in another crisis, deciding his whole future, he again turned naturally to God for help. The ether had made him groggy. His head felt tightg he touched it. The bandages were gone! He must be dreaming againg but it was true! He opened his eyes. Thank God he could see once more. His heart was filled to over- flowing and the tears found their way to his eyes. He jumped out of bed, threw open the window and yelled, yelled at the top of his lungs. The world was his!

My eofzzrlry Iii' of lhee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I ring. Land where our falherr died Land of the Pilgrirrfr pride , . . John reached lazily over and shut off the radio, then jerked up in amazement as a vaguely familiar looking man stand- ing in the doorway queried, Did some- one mention my name? Who are you and what are you doing here? john counter-questioned. I'm only a poor pilgrim, the man, in a costume which confirmed his words, asserted. l've been out of touch with the world for years but because of my high standing, due to my establishment of Thanksgiving Day, I obtained per- mission to come back and see how things in the colonies were coming along. The only trouble is--I can't End America. john continued staring but managed to force out, But this is America. My dear little boy, I'm afraid thou art mistaken, Mr. Pilgrim said gently but hrmly. I saw a flag on my way here which definitely was not English. Of course it wasn't English. The 'stars and stripes' have been the Ameri- can flag ever since we won our inde- pendence. Surely you heard about that, john inquired not too hopefully. What! The little American colonies independent? Well, I never would have believed it. Tell me, who is the Ameri- can king? john looked at him a moment scorn- fully and then replied, America doesn't have a king.

Oh, come now, the Mayflower gent admonished, there must be somebody who makes the laws and oppresses the masses. Congress makes the laws, johnny said. But it can't infringe on the peo- ple's privileges. The Bill of Rights won't let it. The Pilgrim cocked his tall black hat over one eye in a gesture of disbelief and inquired skeptically, The Bill of Rights -what's that? The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to our Constitution, johnny informed him, and they absolutely guarantee our liberties, freedom of re- ligion and . . . I pray thee, do go slower. Remem- ber, I'm not as young as I once was. Did I understand thee to say that the Anglicans, the Puritans, and the Separ- atists are all getting along amicably to- gether? In America no one can tell you what to believe, john answered, surprised at his own vehemence. And besides that, you can say what you please, print what you please, and petition for what you please. What a wonderful country this is, the Pilgrim agreed, adding boastfully, and to think that I helped start all this. I must admit to thee, however, that when I signed the 'Mayflower Compact' all this never entered my mind. But wait. On my way down to earth I passed some soldiers going up, and they said there was a war going on here. I nat- urally assumed that it was with the sav- ages, but I presume I was mistaken.

That Vocations May F lourish Recently, -Our Holy Father made an appeal to all praying Catholics to petition God that the present world distress might not hamper priestly vocations. This plea of the Sovereign Pontiff makes us appreciate more fully how important is the apostolic mission and how necessary it is that we make a daily memento in our prayers that God's Vineyard be renewed with young missionaries who will bind up the spiritual and moral wounds of humanity, in a world gone mad with the griefs and horrors of war. The cluestion that faces all thoughtful Catholics today is: Will there be enough priests to strengthen the faith of the people confused by the terrors of this terrible war and help to keep their faith and hope and charity strong and determined and tender? Apropos of the subject, we might compare the present conflict with the scourge of the Black Death which swept across Europe in the sixteenth century. It was because so many priests thus died untimely deaths that ordinations were accelerated, and some- times vocations not brought to maturity culminated in laxity on the part of the clergy f thus giving an impetus to the so-called Protestant Reformation, It is the duty of every loyal Catholic to keep this intention, so earnestly promulgated by the Vicar of Christ, in his daily prayers, so that history will not be tempted to repeat itself. There are many young Catholic boys in the armed service who might otherwise have answered the call to the priesthood but who felt it a patriotic duty to serve their country in her great hour of need. Will these young men, when, and if they return, retain their originaldesire to follow the call, or will they, perhaps, come home with an altered outlook and anxious for more worldly pursuits? After the war our broken world must be rehabilitatedg and how is this to be done without the religious guidance of God's ministers? Let us sincerely pray with all our heart in the words of our Holy liather the Pope: 'l'hat the present world distress may not hamper priestly vocations. Moi.i.v WHALIQN '-ii C 'T Ifmale T XWAS four months ago that we first practiced marching to the strains of the tradi- tional Melody in F . Now that the curtain is about to ascend and the orchestra is tuning up, we are more than a little expectant. Attired in our spotless uniforms and spectators, and bedecked with American Beauty roses, we are quite confident that the Class of 19,45 will be outdone by none. As our turns come one by one, we listen closely tc the music. Dafdum-da-dardum. da-da-dum, -dabda-tum'-the bass notes of the wind instruments take us back to our freshman days to the ups-and-downs of getting goingnff dark days to be sure but relieved by the happy sophomoric string idyll, after having been duly initiated into thc joys and sorrows of Latin, history, geometry, and home economics. Lovely, lovely melodymda-dum-dabdafthe beautiful rhythm insinuates itself into the very marrow of our memories and we see ourselves the efficient organizers of the junior-Senior Prom. At this point an unrehearsed sour note jolts us to the realistic :emembrance of the man-power shortage, which brought on the last resort of lullaby singing for a younger brother or two. Like time, the tune marches on. XVe find ourselves nearing the footlights. lt is the finale-Y the fourth and last measure. Fragments of wistful cadences bring us to visualize Scroll work, Class Play, Senior Retreat, and May Crowning. Mixed emotional chords fight for the mastery: but the regretful minor wins the contest as we make our final curtsy before this audience, which has assembled to witness the class of 1945 bid farewell to S,U.A. Gifiuiv Bakr-La '-ii THE SCROLL 23 Youth and the Press ET us suppose that we have just had a hard day at school. Numbers! Figures- both of the genre geometrical and poetical! Our mind is spinning with them. Dinner being not quite ready, we decide to saunter into the library and see if any of the current periodicals have found their way to our mailbox. Much to our delight, this week's Squizit is lying on the stand. Now just to sit down in our favorite chair and relax. After reading for some minutes, we throw the magazine down in disgust. A narrative that appeared to be good clean fun has once again turned out to be one of those cheap, sordid, triangle love affairs. How can we relax completely when there is such trash to excite our poor tired minds. It is when we are weary that we most enjoy readingg but it is then also that our minds have the least resistance to such temptations in black and white, which are found in too many newspapers and magazines. Public taste, it seems, has become so degenerate that it revels in such fiotsaml And it is all through such a powerful instrument as the press. The novels that are so highly recommended by the supposedly reliable Book-of-the-Month clubs simply reek of uncouthness and vulgarity. No wonder, then, that the youth of our proud nation cannot make our nation proud of them in return. They are taking their first steps toward adulthood and the most foreboding of stumbling blocks have been thrust into their paths-the stumbling blocks of the intellect. Fortunately we can turn to our Catholic Press which, armed with the Grace of God, has spent every effort to give us such invaluable aids as the Legion of Decency, the Roman Index, and well-informed Catholic critical agencies to be our guides and our protection. We should be grateful for the Catholic Press and help it by our cooperation. Let us hope that its influence will ever be felt until every vestige of salacious writing has been banished forever from the printing presses of the world. SALLY 0'CONNlEl.I. '45 Our South American Blunders OUTH of us exists a group of countries which every day are becoming more and more paramount in the interests of the United States. In our efforts to establish a friendly feeling between North and South America, misunderstandings have developed-blunders caused by the false conceptions that both countries entertain, the one of the other. It has been a general surmise that Latin Americans have been reared on the three R's of revolution, romance, and rumba. They in turn believe we are entirely a simple, methodical, mercenary people who are constantly in a hurry. It is hard to comprehend which idea is more erroneous. Until these misconceptions are rectified, we cannot become better friends. Whence, we ask, has come this false notion of us? Our government sends repre- sentatives who speak no Spanish and who know nothing of the rich historical, cultural, Catholic traditions of these neighbors to the South. Furthermore, the simple untraveled Latin Americans who outnumber the better educated one hundred to one, are taken in by the war psychology to spread false concepts of the United States, carried on so suc- cessfully by the Germans. Finally, our Hollywood productions do us untold injury in portraying us either as two-gun gangsters or habitues of cafe society. In our efforts to gain the friendship of the South American countries, we have spent, lent, and actually given to them over twice as much money as they spend out of their own treasuries on themselves. Being Latin America's Rich Uncle only makes them resent our patronizing attitude. The more suspicious of them say, Beware of North Americans bearing gifts. These existing barriers and past failures do not mean that we should scrap the Good Neighbor policy, it means rather that we should make it authentically good neighbor by being more sincere in our attitude and by dispatching more congenial representatives. RUTH HILLEBRAND '45 24 THE SCROLL My Grandmother OST people have someone be- sides their parents to turn to in time of need. In some eases it is an older sister, brother, aunt, or uncle, but I have my grandmother. She is a very sweet person. and very understand- ing. Since she lives with us, I can talk to her at any time of the day or night. Never is she too tired to listen to my joys or troubles, whatever they may be. Her mannerisms are very interesting. Her likes are numerous and her dislikes are few. She likes the sound of young voices, noise never upsets her. There is nothing she likes better than to find the small neighbor children at the door, pa- tiently waiting for her to give cookies from her never-empty cookie jar. She enjoys ice-cream so much that at any hour of the night, even if she has been sleeping. she will get up to eat' some. Sauciness, disobedience, or any wrong- doings are in the category of her dis- likes. She always says that these things were not allowed in her day, so why now, But she is not old-fashioned, quite the opposite. She approves of short skirts, slacks, and the like, that came in with this generation. But, perfume has found no way into her life. She wouldn't use perfume if. as she says, my life de- pended on it. She always sees to it that the family is on time. Indeed, she even sets the clock ahead about ten min- utes or so. But what would we do with- out dear grandma? My grandma is more than just a grand- mother to me. She is also my godmother, and therefore I feel closer to her than to my paternal grandmother, had she lived. Yes, she is my pal, and I feel that my grandmother, although she is seventy- eight, will stay with us a long time yet. IVIARY Davuss '45 Embarrassed to Tears 4 u,-. ,fl ,of Wlieia someone lightly emits this fa- miliar phrase, I have to smile to myself. I'm carried back to our big red barn on Cirandmother's farm in the country. We really used to work up a powerful appe- tite sliding down the haystacks, winning the corn-eob tights, and walking the nar- row beams over the haymow. It was while performing one of my feats of dexterity on the haymow beams that my poor pride was cut to the tjuick. As I looked down I discovered that cousin 'l'immy had removed the ladder one of his not so practieal jokes. I could do one of two things at this point- - either jump the terrifying distance be- tween the beam and the ground. or slide off the edge and pray that I might jwfetlre land in some hay. I chose the latter course but Heaven turned a deaf ear to my plea for a soft landing. Not ten seconds later I was suspended in mid-air, the helpless victim of ceaseless derision.

Book Review By Margaret Affolter Your Kids and Mine By joe E. Brown Book Review By Tess Burnor ihlfiid Pi-,r Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel the paths trod by a renowned personage? To visit his home and to live with those he knew and loved? This is exactly what Father Connolly does. And in his book he takes the reader with him on his delightful sojourn. It was not until after he had made a trip to England in 1938 and had lived for a year with Wil- frid Meynell, the poet's friend and benefactor, that the author attempted to give to the reading world the most authentic picture of the pursued and the poet of the return to God -Francis Thompson 11859-l907j. Truly in this atmosphere of reminis- cence the author, impregnated with the Thompsonian cult, delineates for us the magnificent generosity and beautiful Christian charity of the Meynells, who saved for posterity the poet who talked to God about angels and men, In classification, if we wish to be perfectly cor- rect, we cannot call this pure biographyg it is more the sealing of a great friendship pact which was not dissolved even by the death of one of the parties. Father Connolly is curator of the richest and most copious Thompson collection in the world, in pos- session of the jesuits of Boston College. Among the treasures found there is the complete manuscript of Thompson's Life of Sain! Igimlinr Loyola, found- er of the Jesuits, which Mr. Meynell presented to Father Connolly as a parting gift. I I I Congratulations to Mr. Brown on a humanly in- teresting book! Your Kidr and Mine is an engaging record of the tears and laughs that so characterize an American righting for his freedom. The author takes us with him on his travels throughout the world to give United States service- men the entertainment of which they are so badly in need. Laughing was his business, it was something he could otier to the war effort and he gave his all. We can never pay sufficient tribute to this val- iant, lovable trooper, whose motto the show must go on has given a new lease on life to our battle- weary loved ones, who are struggling so unselfishly to keep for us our precious liberty. Who else then has a greater right to say, Your Kidr and Mine! Mr. Brown, who does not pretend to be a literary artist, has written his book in a sincere, straight- forward, conversational style that makes it easy read- ing for all.

The Collection was begun more than seventy-five years ago by Sir Francis Cook, a prominent London merchant. Cook's standard of judgment has always been that of quality, not that of fashion or the cur- rent estimate of money value. Because of this he has made few mistakes and even has had many pleasant surprises. All the schools of art are represented completely, and each work is not only a masterpiece of the artist but also of his particular school. Filippo Lippi's The Adoration of the Magi is considered the gem of the collection. Two other outstanding works are Diego Velasquez's The Omelet Maker and Albrecht Diirer's The Procession to Calvary . Other Master artists whose works are displayed are Rem- brandt, Rubens, Van Dyke, Clouet, and Raphael. These paintings have never before been exhibited in the United States, and the Toledo Museum is indeed privileged in having them. In 1927 an unknown Canadian writer, Mazo de la Roche, won the Atlantic's 310,000 Prize with her novel, 141114, Since, it has been translated into a dozen different languages. With The Building ny' jalmz. Miss de la Roche has now written nine books about the Whiteoak family, books with the warmth and tenacity of Trollope which have established her as Canada's leading novelist. Gertrude Atherton says of her, I wish she would write a jalna book a year for the rest of her life. In her new novel Miss de la Roche goes back to the year 1850. She shows us Adeline, the tem- pestuous, impulsive, Irish beauty, whose husband. Captain Phillip Whiteoak, gives up his commission in the Hussars in India to go to thenew country, Canada. The uncut, romantic country of Canada is given a chance to shine forth on its own. The little jeal- ousies, the humor, and the herce attachments that come the way of the W'hiteoak family lend brilliance to the story. THE SCROLL Communism as a philosophy or a political power is not a thri at to the United States, but Communism as a foreign policy is. Thus declared the Reverend XX!ilfrid Parsons, professor of Political Science at the Catholic University of America, in his talk entitled, ls Communism a Present Threat to the United States? liather Parsons, who opened the Catholic liorum series ol I9-15, continued by saying that Communism is just another ism , a philosophy or a plan for man and society. He referred to the founder of Communism, Karl Marx, and said that Communism is often called Marxismg that the chicf danger lies in Communism as a foreign policy to further Soviet Russia's expansionist aspirations, It is a menace in that it has the ability to break down the patriotic allegiance of men and women in other countries to support and gain adherents for the Soxtct cause. liather Parsons said he believed that Communism has not penetrated the brains of the people of the United States very much, because it is too alien to our traditions. He concluded his speech with the thought that Communism would probably never wholly affect Catholicism. Distinctly and characteristically of the Cronin genre, 'I'!ie Green l'L'.1I'.l has been acclaimed among the popular bests of the last few months. It recounts in the author's effortless, fascinating style the early life of Robert Shannon, a Catholic Irish-Scotch lad who is forced, because of the tragic deaths of both his parents, to make his home with his Protestant maternal grandparents. Although he is treated kindly by the immediate family, any manifestation of Catholicism on his part is met by ridicule or petty acts of violence by the townspeople 'all reminiscent of the Chisholm epi- sode in the tirst pages of the The 1x'e.y.i' In llie King- iiilllll. His faith is severely tried and becomes thread, bare in more than one instance f at one crucial point he ex en repudiates it but in the end he comes back to Cod, a prodigal who is made heir to a meagre fortune left him by his great-grandfather. In the character of the aforementioned patriarch Dr, Cronin has achieved a master creation of rascal- ity, but withal a great heart and a sympathetic under- standing of the plight of the not-too-epical hero. lt is a book which affords an emotional exper- ience not soon forgotten. ls C0lllllllllliSlll a Present 'l'hreat to the linited States? By Reverend Wilfricl Parsons, l.ecture Review By Vera Morrison The Green Years By A. Cronin Hook Review By Patricia Bechtel THE SCROLL Slaves of Fashion ES, slaves of fashion is a perfect sketch for us women who will go to any lengths to please our admirers of the opposite sex. The motto of the foreign females seems to be as the twig is bent, so grows the tree. For all their excruciat- ing, diabolical rituals begin when they are still in the age of innocence. Little Chinese girls must have their feet bound tightly so that they can never grow, Consequently, when they have advanced to womanhood, their feet have been left unchanged and they are doomed to hob- ble around on lily feet. And among the native tribes of Africa and South America, even more fantastic beauty habits are employed. The women have tried to imitate the giralfe by wind- ing many, many iron coils around their necks until it had become sometimes even more than a foot between the chin and the shoulders. Were these coils to be removed, the neck would immediately collapse under the weight of the head. Binding heads to make them pointed, and wearing rings and bones in pierced ears and noses is nothing unusual among the blacks of the tropic jungles. They even go farther in the Ubangi tribes by suspending a large brass hoop from their lower lip to make it protrude azflruv1iz'ely. But we women of civilization are not exempt from such grueling procedures. In fact if a Ubangi beauty were to hap- pen into one of our beauty salons and catch sight of a permanent wave ma- chine, she would undoubtedly shriek in terror, thinking that she had fallen into a tribal torture chamber. And so the feminine world lives on, shackled by such outrageous methods of beautifying, all for fashion. North, South, East and West we are all women tempted by vanity-but it's our trade and we en- dure it. SUZANNH STRAUB '45 Lfife Begins At . I am languishing in a deep coma. It seems I've been in this state for five long days. My eyes are beginning to blind now. I see a faint ray of light before me. Things are becoming much clearer and more distinct. just a few more minutes and I shall be wide awake. I can feel each second creep by and now I can hear the ringing of bells, bells, bells, bells- liberty bells. Suddenly I awaken into a world of brightness. Around me I hear a most stupendous rejoicing. Finally! Finally! At last! It's two-thirty. Friday afternoon. A week-end of hilarious fun. Life begins at two-thirty every Friday. For it is then I leave the dreary side of my life for two blissfully blessed days to see how the world around me is getting along. But woe is me! the week-end seems to fly with lightning speed. Practically in a split second Sunday night is behind me and Monday looms over me menacingly. There is nothing during the five days but agonizing struggle before I can return to the freedom of another cherished week- end. As I sit in my first class Monday morn- ing, I can feel my eyes closeg the souvenir memory of the glorious past leaves me, only to be covered up by the darkness of stark reality. Again I can feel the sec- onds passing only to remind me this is one week out of thirty-six. Please tell me I'm just dreaming.

I2i,imiuf'rn hIC.lNIIfRNIfY '-I6 THE SCROLL 31 Unexpeeted Guest T WAS Saturday morning and we were in the throes of spring housecleaning, Mother, appropriately attired in some five-year-old number, was whisking around with the sweeper. The rugs were up, the drapes were down, and the furni- ture was in the middle of the floor. My young cousin was beating out some boogie-woogie on the piano and Hearts in Harmony Qserialj was blaring from the radio. I, in my oldest pair of jeans, my hair in curlers, and my face smeared with cold cream, lay sprawled on the floor, translating Vergil Qfrom a ponyj. After a while I forgot Vergil and started thinking about my date last night. Bill Hammond was a Harvard man with the most sophisticated manner I had yet encountered. Last night I'd had a blind date, and although I had worn my black dress and tried my best to seem worldly, I hadn't made an im- pression. just then the doorbell interrupted my thoughts. Thinking it was jane, I screamed, Door's open. Cmon in. The door opened and closed again. Foot- steps approached and I expected to hear jane's usual Greetings, gates. But when it didn't come I glanced up from Vergil. First, I saw a pair of well- tailored and well-pressed trousers, and looking up further, saw the amused face of Bill Hammond grinning down at me. I clutched at my curlers and fervently wished I could fall through the floor. Regaining my composure slightly, I jumped up and asked him to sit down. Then, with horror, I realized that MARY LYNNE GIERINGER '45 the furniture was all piled in the middle of the Hoot and there was no place to sit. Sensing my embarrassment, Bill eased himself to the floor and sat down beside me. After an awkward pause on my part, he remarked pleasantly, Doing Latin? I snatched the pony and sat on it fl didn't want him to think I was illiteratelj and mumbled a reply. Then I began apologizing profusely for my ghastly appearance, saying that I looked like this very seldom. just then my young cousin popped up with, Don't believe her. She looks like that all the time at home and even worse sometimes. I could have cheerfully choked the little darling, but Bill laughed and said he didn't mind at all. I thanked him, men- tally, for being so kind. just then Mother called from the kitchen, Mary Lynne, you didn't drink your milk and you didn't take your vitamin pill. I winced and called back, I'm too old for milk. Mother answered that one with, Don't be silly, you're only sixteen. 1 winced again. QI had told Bill I was eighteenj Bill stayed about an hour, and in that hour I died a thousand deaths. But, wonder of wonders, when Bill walked out of the door, he said, ever so casually, Busy on Saturday night? I said no, accepted his offer of a date, shut the door, and gave many thanks to Fate for spring housecleaning, curlers, milk, my cousin, and everything except sophistica- tion. P.S. The next Saturday night I didn't wear my black dress and I've been dating Bill ever since. Disciple Timmy QContinued you ba-baptize me and make me like Him? Of course I will, Timmy. Within a few minutes Timmy was like Him. And then, with a look of celestial radiance on his face, he whis- pered, Father Glen, I5fefil'1sbLso won- from page 121 derful! Will you tell me some more about Him? Fa-Fa- No, Timmy would hear no more from Father Hamilton, but he was due to en- joy the rest of eternity with the Little Boy Who grew up to be King of every- thing. 32 THE SCROLL ROSPlllill'ii' Blum'llz1r1l 1'r.1z1quil nwmm' Rus.u'y C,ntl1ulr.1l !C..Q,,,4,, ' x 5 A Pnlrim-in C2ll'SU'llFl'Il Slllillllll' Slramln lrtfhlfjlt' fJ1L'I1fl' Snlfllw mwzilm St. Agnus Our Lguly uf lJL'l'Pt'lll.ll Hclp lass ver 1 9 4 5 ,,04.2:1...,L Jtbillllll' S1'lll2lgl'tl'l' lu17ll'!,it'l'I!l1,l mini?

In this delightful comedy the author recounts the love stories of two generations of womengthe romance of a girl of the Gay Nineties and the modern romance of her equally modern granddaughter. Romances of yesterday, like those of today, may easily begin at a girl's first dancing party-fsuch is the premise ot' the play. It contrasts the present, when a girl prefers to dance to swingtime music, with the days of the horse and buggy. when grandmother demurely whirled her way across the ballroom floor to the strains of the slow, melodious Blue Danube Waltz. liiigrf Druzre is a comedy of great charm, for while manners, fashions, and speech change with the seasons, the way of romance remains as always, the way of a maid with a man. As Patricia King remarked in the prologue, the presenta- tion doubtlessly portrayed the days that are gone forever.

THE SCROLL r if ,fs L f , A f , f - if Qt-sf. , e Retreat A iq , QRS sgrx I The dictionary defines retreat as the act of withdrawing into safety , and as a place of refuge . It must have been very apparent to the two hundred and ninety-eight Ursuline girls who attended Mass and received Holy Communion on the mornings of March seventh, eighth, and ninth, that here indeed was a place of safety and a haven of refuge. We were more than a little inspired by the beautiful thoughts gleaned from the conferences given by the Very Reverend Charles F. Barry, O.M.l., retreat master. Father Barry put special emphasis on choosing wisely one's state in life, the Blessed Virgin as our model, the importance of the virtues of honesty, patience, and refinement in the life of every young girl. Stories and illustrations apropos of the various subjects vitalized the talks and helped us to gain a clearer realization of the lessons to be learned. For three days it was possible to forget the anxiety and insecurity so much a part of the present everyday existence in the peace that came to us in paying homage to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, during the never-to-be-forgotten Holy Hour which closed this beautiful retreat at St. Ursula's. A Tribute - - Religion instructor par excellence, the Rev- erend Willitiin Lawless, O.M.I.. came to ns this year to imbue us with a more thorough knowledge and understanding of the Divinc Constitution-W the Tcn Commandments of God, the Six Cominandments of the Church. and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. lnnately conscious of his mission as an or- dained of God, Father Lawless, in his priestly zeal, bore out most effectively the beautiful homily of St. john Chrysostom: Wliat can be greater than to govern the souls and form the morals of youth? And he continues: For my part, I esteem the man who can model souls, as without doubt, superior to any painter, any sculptor, and any kind of artist. Truly, in the instruction of youth the priest has a splendid opportunity to give that fulness of Catholic doctrine which he has acquired through his studies and clerical training. We could not have been more singularly blessed than to be led by Father's untiring efforts towards the very Source of LifevChrist, Our Leader. Now that life demands of us a decision, we feel strengthened to make of ourselves true Christians, radiating Christ, and vowed to His service in whatever vocation He may see fit to place us. Rev. WlllltllI1 Lawless, O.M.l. May St. Ursula Academy continue to have the privilege of his service for many years to come! 54 THE SCROLL F'SC9!f55':U:S1'Z9I':iS'C5.G!!?.1'1':ff:SG'5t.Zi'1f1,'Z.'Ci'?i5GS':if:i':fF:S':0:'xCSZ l Chronicle fllll'0lIll'l1' fll'llSllIll' 'l'his yt-ar thc school hit Ll now l1igl1 in thc Csillmlii' f.llH'lllIlt'lt' drive, grossing -Ill suhscriptions, or an incrcitsc of IASB over thu quota.

THE SCROLL 55 Annual Concert On Sunday, May 20, at 3:30 p. m., St. Ursula Auditorium resounded with the melodious notes of the Annual Orchestra-Glee Club Concert. The Glee Club, accompanied by Nancy Notnagel, honored Beethoven, Bartnian- sky, Tschaikowsky, Speaks, Forsyth, and Gibb by choosing their repertoire from the works of these great masters. May, the Maiden must have struck an endearing chord in the memories of Glee Club members of former years. Orchestral selections included numbers composed by Brahms, Bohm, Clementi, and Isaac. The delightful violin solo was rendered by Patricia Hillebrand '48, who executed the difficult Zigeuner- weisen by Sarasati. .flrl Awards Five St. Ursula students who received awards in the National High School Art Exhibit, sponsored by Lamson Brothers and the Scholastic magazine, were Col- leen Myers, Dorothy Kosky, and Gerry Zellers, gold achievement pins, Marcia Hofmann, Dorothy Kosky, and joan Spillane, certificates of merit. The St. Ursula work was done under the supervision of Miss Ethelyn Patton, art director. Sister jane Catherine, O.S.U., of the Mary Manse College faculty, was one of the three judges of the 920 north- western Ohio entries. Piano Graduation Recital Two members of the Senior class pre sented their graduation recital during the second week of May. Starting out at the age Of five, in small group of pre- school children at St. Agnes branch studio of the Ursuline Conservatory, Dorothy Murphy and Patricia Carstensen have kept abreast ever since, so that now they are ready to receive the certificate of graduation along with their high school diplomas.
