The new St. Joseph’s Acad- emy, a handsome structure of native granite and sandstone brick, occupies a command- ing view overlooking the city of Prescott and many miles of surrounding country. The building, planned and furnished with artistic taste, as well as with a view to home comfort, fully equipped with modern improvements and appliances, sur- rounded by picturesque pine forests, appeals to the stu- dent whose mind and heart respond to elevating influ- ences. The fundamental aim of the institute, to educate physically, intellectually and morally, is powerfully sec- onded by an ascetic atmosphere so essential to the quiet concentration of the student in pursuit of the highest and best in the intellectual life. No time or pains are spared in helping pupils to learn to help themselves. Study hours are judiciously alternated with invigorating and refining physical exer- cises. Every advantage is offered for a liberal and thor- oughly Christian education, singularly free from the ordi- nary worry and drudgery of school life. Here every minute of the day is filled with pleasure and profit. Refinement of manner and gra- cious bearing, the charm of cultured woman, are carefully developed. The student’s mind is trained and strengthened in habits of originality, self reli- ance and moral strength. The student body is characterized by devotedness to study, cour- tesy and kindness within itself and loyalty to the school. Athletic sports are encour- aged with a view to insure grace and pose, a good car- riage, the symmetrical develop- ment and free play of the vital organs, and to secure and maintain health. Prescott affords an ideal climate for outdoor exer- cises during the greater part of the year. The ample grounds and the proximity to the pine forests are attrac- tive features. Musical concerts and dra- matic presentations that inter- sperse the scholastic year, while developing the student’s artistic taste, are entered into with such genuine pleasure that they may be classed with recreations rath- er than with studies.

Pupils are received at any time during the school year if there is a vacancy. No deduction is made for the Christ- mas vacation, for any temporary absence, except in the case of protracted illness, nor for the first two or the last two weeks of the scholastic year. Pupils who leave school before the end of the second semester forfeit all right to promotion and honors. The Academy affords accommodations for onlv fifty boarding pupils. It is necessary, therefore, that former pupils who intend to return should renew their applica- tion not later than August first, in order that they may be suitably provided for before response is made to new ap- plicants. Pupils of all denominations are received. The con- scientious convictions of non-Catholics are respected, but for the maintenance of good order all are are required to conform to the external discipline of the Academy. Non-Catholic pupils are not permitted to study Christian Doctrine without the written permission of parents or guardians. Entirely separate from the Academy building, a comfortable and home-like dormitory and recreation rooms have been fitted for a limited number of small boys, from six to twelve years of age. The terms and requirements for boys are the same as those for girls, except in regard to wardrobe, which is explained else- where in this prospectus. Each pupil is to be provided with pocket money, which must be deposited in the treasury. She will send home a monthly statement of her expenditures, and no one will be permitted to overdraw her deposit. When clothes, stationery, etc., are to be furnished by the institution, a sufficient sum must be deposited for the purpose. Letters or other mail, sent or received by the pupils, is subject to inspection. Pupils from Prescott may re- ceive visits from parents and relatives on Sunday from one to five P. M. On the fourth Sunday of each month visitors may be received who are not members of the family. Such visits must be authorized by the parents, and sanctioned by the Directress. Pupils whose parents reside in Prescott may visit at their own homes on the first Sunday of each month. Apart from this, resident pupils will politely decline all invitations during the scho- lastic year. In no case should the pupils be expected to go out during class or study hours, or to remain out over night. Social and business callers are kindly requested to make their visits to the Academy before nightfall. There is no Easter vacation. The Christmas holi- days may be spent at home. Those who do not return on the appointed day or who are not in regular attend- ance during the entire scholastic year, forfeit their privi- lege of competing for class honors. A friendly rivalry in contesting for class honors is encouraged. Pupils are responsible for all damage done by them to school property. Boxes containing candy or other eatables sent to a student will be disposed of at the discretion of the Di- rectress. On birthdays, at Christmas, Easter and Thanks- giving, pupils may receive such boxes. Fresh fruit may be received at any time. Express charges should always be prepaid. Monthly reports are sent to parents and guardians. Pupils are not permitted to use the telephone. Messages will be delivered to them. Discipline is gentle and firm. A kindly chaperonage is constantly exercised. Urqutrrmnttis Each pupil should be furnished with four changes of summer underclothing (knitted wear), three suits of flannels, six pairs of hose, three outing flannel night gowns, a good supply of shoes, a pair of rubbers, six towels, four table napkins, one dozen handkerchiefs, one winter and one summer kimona, one pair of bed room slippers, one double woolen blanket, toilet articles, table service, including a silver knife, fork, tea and dessert spoons and napkin ring, work box furnished with neces- saries for sewing and mending, stationery and stamps.

During the warm weather (about eight weeks of the scholastic year) navy blue or black lawn or China silk shirt waists may be worn with serge skirts by large girls, navy blue lawn or China silk blouses with serge skirts by small girls. For Sunday: A black serge sailor suit, trimmed with black braid and emblems. All must have black un- derskirts, and the small girls will wear also black bloom- ers. For summer, white waists may be worn with black skirts by large girls and white guimpe with jumper suit of black material by small girls. Each girl should have three dark aprons made with long sleeves; one white and one party dress for evening wear; one gymnasium suit, gray trimmed with red, and one sweater. Hair ribbons of navy blue or black. Dresses made of wash fabrics, white underskirts and white aprons are laundered at the pupils’ expense. Each pupil is taught to do her own mending; she may learn to do plain sewing 'as well as embroidery and other art needlework. Pupils may select their dress- maker, provided the latter will come to the Academy to fit the garments and deliver them when finished. It is desirable that dressmaking and dentistry be attended to during the summer and Christmas vacations. The institute will not be responsible for jewelry or money lost by students. Unya Three navy blue blouse suits for school wear and one blue cap. Black blouse suit for Sunday with black cap. A good supply of shoes, stockings and handkerchiefs.

Griffith Euruta Shakespeare reading: Mr. C. E. W. Griffith, America’s greatest reader of Shakespeare, interpreted four of the Master- pieces of the “Bard of Avon” for the Sisters, pupils and friends of the Academy. MIRIAM. RHODA. It has been said that “without Mr. Griffith’s rendi- tion of the ‘dramas immortal,’ the study of Shakespeare is in- complete.” The students of St Joseph’s say that “through Mr. Griffith’s rendition the study of Shakespeare is made possible.” A critic, in a Los Angeles paper, paid the following tribute to Mr. Griffith’s art “One evening in Rome, many years ago, I saw Salvini in the character of King Lear. I have heard many great actors since, but I have never wanted to hear any of them in King Lear. When I heard that Mr. Griffith would give this selection, I won- dered how a lone man, without scenery or costuming and with a small audience, could ever attempt such a drama. To my surprise and delight, what a beautiful sound the rather unmusical language assumed on his lips, and how quickly he changed his personages, and what a magnifi- cent King Lear he was! His fearful madness, his deep sorrow, his gruesome laughter, his silly jabberings, his thunderous commands—it was all there—and I forgot the lack of scenery, of costuming and of audience, and it seemed almost as if I once more heard the old master, Salvini. “I had the pleasure of also hearing Mr. Griffith in ‘Richard the Third,’ and his masterly rendition shook all his hearers out of the daily, dull routine and gave us true art, which made us hunger for more.” Piano Recital, by Professor J. Homer Grunn of the Arizona School of Music. On Dec. n, 1908, the Yavapai County Medical So- ciety gave a lecture and demonstration on Tuberculosis in the Academy Auditorium. The chair was taken by Dr. R. N. Looney, the President of the Medical Society, and the Prescott physicians occupied seats on the plat- form. Dr. Flinn, who makes a special study of the subject, spoke on the “Cause and Nature of Tuberculosis.” He gave an interesting description of the tubercle bacillus, the active causes of the disease, and referred to its habits and life history, the mode of entrance into the lungs of this tiny micro-organism, as well as the protective forces which nature sets to work to destroy the germ and pre- vent the beginning of the disease. He dwelt at length on the means of prevention. Mrs. H. T. Southworth gave, in a most pleasing and effective manner, two recitations referring to the rest cure and the out-of-door life. Dr. Yount read a very instructive paper on the Sixth International Congress on Tuberculosis, which met in Washington, D. C., in September, and which the Doctor attended as delegate from Ari- zona. Dr. Yount gave a vivid word picture of this great gath- ering and the force and enthu- siasm it represented. He de- scribed in detail the exhibits and the work of the dif- ferent sections. All, he said, tended to impress on the minds of those who saw and heard that tuberculosis is a “communicable, curable, and preventable disease,” and that the great hope of prevention is rapha. thamar. in the combined and concerted action of all classes of people. At the close of the address, the students were shown micro- scopic specimens of the tubercle bacillus and of healthy and tu- berculosis lungs by the mem- bers of the medical profession present. The students’ Annual Re- treat was attended by forty young ladies. The Annual Re- treats are open to the Academy students, the members of the EGYPT. GADDIEL. Alumnae Association and their friends. Miss Kate White (Mrs. W. Jackson) made a retreat at the Academy in June preparatory to her marriage. The S. J. A. Basket Ball Team scored a brilliant vic- tory in a content with the P. H. S. team in March, 1909. Miss Fredericks’ efficiency as coach is evinced by the grace, power, self-control and courtesy of the sixty fair athletes under her training at St. Joseph’s. Misses Belle Rodgers. Mae Stukev and Mary Mc- Donald of the class ’08 were graduated from Tempe Nor- mal in June, ’09, and have secured schools in Arizona for the ensuing year. Miss Agnes Chatupie. ’08, gives promise of a suc- cessful teacher in her short experience in the Poland School. Miss Marie Curtis, ’08, holds the position of Stenog- rapher to the Bashford-Burmister Company of Prescott. Miss Eva Boucher ,’08 (Mrs. M. M. Briet), has taken up the responsibilities of life in her new home at Bisbee, Arizona. Misses Lillie Belle Campbell and Lydia Sines, ’08, still grace their respective homes in Prescott. Miss Edna Hanrahan, ’08, has chosen “the better part and is laying the foundation for a life of Christian Perfection at the Novitiate of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Manta The great work of Christian Education can not be carried on without means, hence the Sisters appeal to the generosity of all who are interested in this noble work.
