Prescott. Arizona Each portal arch a welcome speaks ®gCp p ZpCpGpGpCpQpGpGpGpCpGp6pCpGpGpGpGpGpGpCpC{ Graduates are correct in refusing to believe that a successful career depends upon accident, chance, or the whims of fate. Youth is ardent and eager. It wishes to command success. There is a magic button which opens the door to treasure, learning, and esteem. There is indeed a wizardry which, if practiced, turns a dull drab day to golden and replaces poverty with plenty. That magic button is industry; that wizardry is hard work. When you leave school to enter the work-a-day world and commence to feel the sharp injustices which some people in the pursuit of success impose upon others, there may be moments when you will be tempted to say that all the fine talk you heard in school and all the beautiful philosophy of noblesse oblige seem to be forgotten, but at such times cling to the noble ideals taught by Saint Joseph's Academy, and live up to its high standard. Practice the wizardry of hard work, press the magic button of industry, and every joy will shed its sunshine upon your face, and you will be more successful than if the goddess of Fortune had lit a lamp of genius in your brain.

Remembering the claims of Mary upon our deepest gratitude, it is fitting that La Lumiere should be dedicated to her whose glories have been extolled from earliest ages and who, to the trouble-tossed and sin-darkened world is “The Sweet Benediction in the Eternal Curse, The Veiled Glory of this lampless universe. That Mary was redeemed by anticipation, through the merits of her Son, harmonizes with our faith that Mary is immaculate because her Son is God. So in the Office of the B. V. M. we chant: “All stately without, and all perfect within, He chose Him a dwelling undarkened by sin: For even before thy miraculous birth Thou wert free from the stain that has sullied the earth. Antedating Eve in the mind of the Creator, she was exempt from the original stain. Though infinitely lower than Him, she reflects the glory of God, giving light and beauty to every teaching of the Church. The Grotto erected on Academy Campus by Class 1920, with its statue of our Immaculate Mother, her sweet face uplifted, her gentle hands folded in prayer, is our daily inspiration as we glance lovingly towards her from our classroom windows or from the recreation courts. We crown her queen of our hearts and fervently grasp the meaning of Words- worth when he sings: “Mother, whose rirgin bosom was uncrossed With the least shadow of thought to sin allied; Woman, above all women glorified. Our tainted nature's solitary boast; Purer than foam on central ocean tossed. —Virginia Amberg.

You ask me for a resume of the achieve- ments of the Class of 1923, but my usually eloquent pen falters and my most swashbuckling expressions but inadequately portray the glorious record made by this peerless Class. Descending upon the Academy like a meteor out of a clear sky, in the fall of 1919, the Class of ’23 struck the student body with awe and the faculty with admiration! Now that we are about to depart into the shadowy future, is it any wonder that this dismal announcement seems already to darken the countenance of our Alma Mater? Too numerous to detail are the triumphs and trophies proudly carried away by this grand old class. To none other has Alma Mater pointed, with pride, w hile exclaiming, “These are my jewels,” than to the banner Class of 1923. Gentle readers!—now that wre are to go out into the wride, wide world, leaving these classic halls desolate, tell me, who will lend priceless counsels to the faculty when some matter of moment is at stake? Our dignity as Seniors has been unqualified excellence. A word—or even a look— from us has been enough to quell anything of a riotous tendency in our inferiors—even the incorrigible Sophomores! In feats of brain and brawn, 1923 has not been lacking. Behold the medals for Oratory won by Roberta McDonnell and Marguerite Bridges; prizes for Expression by the same Marguerite, Opal Cross, and Aileen Powers. And what of the tennis record left by Kathryn Bianconi? Our standard of debating has carried off the honors, even though our opponents did give us a hard battle. Dear friends, witness the splendid achievements of that noble organization, a “child of our own brain,” the Dramatic Club, whose conquests are recorded elsewhere in this volume. And now that we have reached the end of our beginning, may we be permitted to voice the modest hope that those who follow us on our triumphal march may uphold the spirit, honor, and traditions of our beloved school and that the Class of 1924 may strive to make themselves worthy of the mantle of wisdom which we now let fall upon their shoulders. —Kathryn Bianconi, '23.

Was yoh out tha in da gahden some one might pick you fo’ a honeysuckle, you’se dat perty!” Aunt Mandy talked on, all the while trying Hetty’s hair in different styles in order to find one which would be new and at the same time becoming. Finally she threw down the brush in dis- gust— “Seems today mail idees are like mah money—they jest ain’t!” Taking up the comb and smiling blandly, Aunt Mandy went on: “ ’Twasn’t but two yeahs latah that yoh ma had a visit from one of her friends what graduated with her; ’twas Miss Yirginny. But she warn’t Miss Virginny no mo’. She was Mrs. Denton. She’d done been married a month befo’ and was on her weddin’ tower. She was a June bride, she tol’ Miss Bobby. I alius was aimin’ to be a June bride if me an’ George Washington Jackson had a been married, but that po’ man up an’ went crazy. The fust ah knew of his unsamity was one day when he come a courtin’. He had a hatchet in his han’ an’ a funny look in his eye. He grabbed mah ahm in a iron grip an’ said in a low an’ turrible voice, ‘Mandy, they’s nobody here but you an’ me!’—I said, You’re wrong, George, they’s nobody here but you!’—’cause by that time I was gone. Ah ain’t nevah seen ’im since an’ ah ain't sorry. Ah sure was scared as a grinnin’ catfish. In mah mind’s eye, I could jes see mahself bein’ carted down the church aisle—wid mah friends walkin’ slow behind me. “Then, while yoah ma was down in Tucson, she write me that she seen Miss Opal in a Chau—Chau—, no. I’se not tryin’ to sneeze. Honey, I’se jest tryin’ to tell yoah’ll what Miss Opal is a workin’ in.” “Chautauqua, Mandy?” “Yes, Sugarlump, tlias it. How’d yoah’ll guess it?” Aunt Mandy stopped and gave all her attention to an obstinate curl that would not “stay put.” Betty broke the silence by speaking eoaxingly: “Don’t you know anything more about Mother’s schoolmates, Mandy? Please tell me.” “Course ah will. Honey. Why, not long aftah Miss Bobby write me, ah foun’ somethin’ in a papah that sure got a rise outa me. It weie a artickle about M iss Marguerite a winnin’ a prize for a bee-utiful pieksure she done painted. She done won a lots a money, too; it said so in the artickle. It sure made me happy. Miss Marguerite was the drawin’est gal ah evah see .... Lemrne 1 5fcU LA LUMIERE 1923 Page Twenty see .... Oh, yes, .... Mastah Ramsey.

He’s a fine hoy .... one that uses his haid, as de story says, for somethin’ mo’ than to get hair tonic put on ... Well, Miss Betty, that hoy am one of the finest doctahs in the West now. Yassam, he is alius bein' talked about ’count a the nice way he can cut people up. He alius was handy with a jack-knife, even when he was no biggah dan a mosquiter’s eyebrow .... “Then, Miss Betty, the summah befo’ yoah ma was married, she hikes back from school with Miss Kathryn Bianconi. Miss Kay, thas what yoah ma called her, stayed heah fo’ a month. She was a goin’ way off to Africa or some place, Chicago was de name of de town, I recollect,—to teach gym. Ah don’ know who Jim was but seems to me he must a needed lamin’ powerful bad for her to go traipsin’ way off to dat Chicago place to teach him.” Aunt Mandy took a deep breath, surveyed Betty critically in the mirror, and continued: “Then one day when ah was a walkin’ down the street, mah eyes was took by a board bill sign an ah stopped still and most yelled out loud. Here befo’ me was Miss Aileen asperty as yoah please—an’ she was a playin’ in a big play—the head one, too. I was broke flat. If happiness had a been sellin' fo’ a nickel, ah couldn’t a bought a smile; so yoah grandmothah bought me a ticket. Ah sure enjoyed dat show. An' what’cha think? Miss Nellie were de chief dancer an’, as you well knows, dancin’ am my most particklerest enjoyment. “Las’ but not least is Miss Gerry McCormick. Miss Gerry has done gone to dat dere Convent in Los Angeles and is a Sister —a real one, just as good as them in Arizona, so dey tells me. I ast yoh ma if she thought Miss Gerry was happy an’ she said, ‘Happiness am de one thing she ain’t nothin’ else but!’ “Yoah ma’s a callin’; listen .... De motah’s ready? .... Well, so is us. ’Bye, chile...........” Betty departed and, with a long-drawn sigh, Mandy dropped into the nearest chair. Ere the sound of the motor had died in the distance, her thoughts were in the land of “used-to-be,” and before her age-dimmed eyes there passed a vision of yesterday when, not Betty’s mother, but her grandmother—proudly bearing her diploma on her arm, had stepped from the portal of dear S. J. A.—to “try her wings” at practicing the teachings of her Alma Mater. —Roberta McDonnell, '23. 3 «fe)|r LA LUMIERE 1923 ---«oS P Page Twenty-one R ANSON DREW Y-clept “Ranse” Temperament .... s in..................

Three years of High School life have brought us to this coveted place and our Editor-in-Chief has demanded from us an “account of our stewardship.” She has further instructed us that it be in “happy vein” so—a Voeurre! During our Freshman Year we not only carried off Tennis honors, which glory came to our class through Rosella Davis, Margaret Millin (now a resident of the Movie City), and Richard McCormick, but Frances Giroux won the inter- scholastic Essay prize. Some of us “greenies” were also used as “fill-ins” for the upper Class Plays, which was excellent training for later dramatics. Our social functions were always Freshmanly frolicsome. The first Academy Track Meet marked our Sophomore year and our old reliable “Sally” Davis nearly smashed the world’s College Girls’ champion high- jump—her record being 4 feet, fi inches. Hourra! Of course we “forded the stream” and “threw bridges across the Rhine” with the Imperial Caesar, and even passed examinations in “Trig.” The Junior Prom was the event de luxe of this year (for details consult the memory books!) The Tennis Tournament again meant new luster to our “rep,” as athletes. (Just visit our Trophy Hall and read the names on the Lovin’ Cups!) In English we have waded through the blood of Macbeth and Hamlet; we have stood (our Exams) in the Forum with Cicero; we have ever been good guessers in Chemistry—but some of us have taken to Math like a Bolshevik to a barber shop. In “Public Speaking” we stood our ground—though our knees registered something like a seismographic disturbance. And now, walking in the shadow of the lofty Seniors, we follow our valiant leaders—hoping to emulate their virtues and—enjoy their privileges—nous verrons! Yell Ricketty, Ricketty, Ricketty, Rus!

Knock and you knock alone! The Sophomores of ’23 had in mind this motto when we began our High School work in '21. How we have practiced it our record tells. Though we have been dubbed the “Big Bosses” and occasionally some one changes the “Boost” to “Boast” on the face of our fair escutcheon, yet when it comes to love for school and teachers kind— Sophomore Twenty-three Spells “Loyalty!” In our Freshman year we featured in Athletics and Vera Asher won the medal for broad jumping. This year we have made a fine record in Debating— though the judges (owing to their conventional ideas) often cast the vote in favor of our opponents. Oar Carnival on St. Patrick’s Day was—like its originators—unique and un- paralleled. Probably the most interesting attraction was “A Trip to Heaven” (although we regret to say the Seniors aired their conviction that we are doubtful authorities on any subject above “terra firma”). Now that we have skillfully wended our way half through the intricate labyrinth of the S. J. A. High School curriculum, and, with well-crammed (though not swollen) heads, are about to take unto ourselves the name of “Mighty Juniors,” we consider it fitting and proper to mask our exuberant spirits with that subdued and harassed look which you, dear reader, have perhaps noticed is peculiar to Juniors! Although next September will see us back in dear old S. J. A.—happy, and, we trust, not too high-browed—it is with desolate hearts we submit to the “Passing of the Sophomores of ’23! Yell Biff! Boom!

J. A. Peagreens we were and they told us we certainly “looked it!” It took us a few days to become accustomed to our surroundings and to get acquainted with the new work. Once started, interest waxed strong and now we are successfully closing our First Year High. The end of September ushered in the Freshman Reception. We knew that this meant our “welcoming” into the social life of the school. We were to be initiated! We were!! But it was great fun. Well, knowing that no organization can exist without leaders, we decided to place the destiny of the class in the hands of the above officers. Our president has lots of “pep,” and, especially when it comes to social affairs, we are “up and doing.” The transplanting from Eighth Grade to High School was a shock to us at first, but we soon began to thrive in the new soil, and June finds us enjoying the fruit of our hard work. Restrained by our characteristic modesty and the limited space allotted us by the Editor-in-Chief, we cannot do justice to our excellencies. We shall say that no matter how we rave at times about our work, our Freshman Year has been filled with profit as well as pleasure—-and we have found all members loyal to the Class. Yell We’re the Class of ’26, Always in an awful mix; We’re green as grass And bold as brass— This Class of ’26! —George Burgett, '2G. igs £ LA LUMIERE 1923 Page Thirty- three The Freshman Schedule Enchanting Freshies, blithe and gay. The pride and boast of S. J. A. To subjects four (our course, you see) We give our time and moments free. Tis Latin first! and Latin last! Puer, puella, ambulas. Translation, parsing, paridigm, 'Tis Vergil's heights we aim to climb. Comes English with expressions clear; In themes must all these three appear— Coherence, stress and unity, (Else suffer great indignity!) Old History next presents her claim For five and forty minutes' reign. 'Tis dig and dig and dig some more— Till Freshies' brains win on that score. Foe Algebra! You're last and least— We will have peace when thou hast ceased. Our day you end—and maybe life; Thou'rt the cause of struggle and strife! And so you see, tis as they say: We ARE the boast of S. J. A. If failure does not come. I II vow— We’ll Seniors be—three years from now! —Virginia Moore, ’26 ' §%U LA LUMIERE 1923 Page Thirty- four Ancient History Dame History, with her train so bold. My 'tention for a while shall hold. I mean to teil you many things Of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Kings. In prehistoric ages old. Before of history man had told— The trees and caves were their abode. Their writing was the strangest code. Old Khufu built the pyramids tall— (That's what we learned in early Fall)— The ancient burial place of kings Whose fame throughout all history rings. We also learn—the river Nile, Each year does overflow and pile The fine, rich silt on meadows bare— Which helps to make a garden fair. The ancient peoples we call Greek, In ages past were not so meek; They fought with every country round And gainst the Romans held their ground. The Caesars, Nero, and Pompey— O'er all their subjects held great sway, Demosthenes with Cicero great Held in his hand the whole land’s fate. Oh History, you are dear to me As precious pearls from out the sea— I've followed you from age to age, But now we’ve come to the last page! —La Charles Goodman, ’26 LA LUMIERE 1923 1 55K i2Se)� ' Page Thirty- five A Freshie’s Toast to S. J. A. God bless our school on hill above, The institute of cult and love. Where students always “come to stay”— Ever loyal to S. J. A. God bless the Faculty so grand, Ilis favors pour, until they stand Triumphant as the Virgins wise. In His celestial paradise. God bless its students each and all. From Baby Room to Senior Hall; God grant that they may never stray, From paths prescribed by S. J. A. —Betty McDonnell, '26. A Life Lesson (APOLOGIES TO JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY) Theie, little Freshie, don’t cry! They have shattered your dreams I know— When you started to school We all treated you “crool” And laid your dignity low. But First Year troubles will soon pass by— There, little Freshie, don’t cry! There, little Sophie, don’t cry! You’ve advanced a year I know; But your stares so blank Show still you rank With the verdant fledgelings, I trow. But age and dignity will come by’m by. There, little Sophie, don’t cry! There, little Junior, don’t cry! They have broken your spirit I know; But you've played the game. And your year of fame You have earned by the sweat of your brow. ’24 holds all for which you sigh. There, little Junior, don’t cry! —Roberta McDonnell, '23.

Though but four years old, it has grown from a brochure of sixteen pages to the present volume—an exponent of the spirit, enthusiasm, and ener- getic working force of St. Joseph’s student body. Our aim in publishing this Annual is to reflect as faithfully as possible the life and environment of St. Joseph’s Academy. If “La Lumiere” mirrors something of the true attractiveness of our school, we have not de- feated our purpose.

Mass, General Communion, Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and a procession to the snow-mantled Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes were the religious features of this Feast so dear to Mary's children. The Reception, which usually takes place on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, was this year deferred until February eleventh, when thirty-eight new members were ad- mitted into the Sodality and fifty-two renewed their Act of Consecration to Mary Immaculate. Weekly meetings for the recitation of the Office and pro- cession to the Grotto are devotions dear to members of this organization. The Fathers of the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspire much loyalty and zeal in their exhortations to the Catholic students—on each recurring Feast of the Blessed Virgin. To those who attended meetings with regularity during the entire year, beautiful illuminated Diplomas were awarded; to all Socialists—dainty B. V. M. Club pins. May Devotions! Daily Mass and Communion, the recitation of the Rosary, the singing of the Litany in procession, the consecration to our Blessed Mother and the Coronation of her statue—sweet traditions that mark the month devoted to Heaven’s Queen! And what could be a more beautiful recollection of the “springtime of life than the vision of young, white-veiled heads bowed in morning prayer in the Convent Chapel, fair hands entwining the rosary of the Mother of God, while mastering the principles which will later guard the sanctity of Home. The League of the Sacred Heart has had a steady increase in membership during 1922-23. Both High School and Grammar Departments have affiliated with the Chil- dren’s Crusade through the Rosati-Kain I nit.

Secretary-Treasurer .... “'T'O man, propose this test— Thy body at its best, How far can it project thy soul on its lone way?” —Browning The Athletic year 1022 23 opened in a great burst of enthusiasm and waxed strong to the closing of the season—the Tennis Tourney. There is no “hot- house' existence at S. J. A. Though there are times during mid-winter when students are driven indoors bv severe weather, the “Call to the Open” is rarely unheeded and often, when King Winter spreads his mantle of snow over tennis and basketball courts, coasting, skating, and snow-fights supply the recpiircd open-air exercise. Basketball and tennis were as popular this year as always and from the first game each player, or each team, hoped to be the proud possessor of a medal or trophy cup. In Basketball the Sophomores were the winners and some “star” players were developed from this team. But interest in the tennis tournament rivalled, if not excelled, that of previous years. The Track Meet furnished the spur of competition to many who were not attracted by other sports. The Hiding Club has increased its member- ship and interest still centers around this favorite sport. Almost every day, during the Spring months especially, a troup of enthusiastic ecpiestriennes, under the eye of a skilled director, gaily gallop away from the Academy gate, over streams, thiough the woods, and up the mountain bridle paths. The “Academy Cup,” the most coveted of the school trophies and given the student who has shown the truest spirit throughout the year, as well as sportsmanship, good comradeship and fair play, was by vote of the students—unanimously awarded Rosella Davis. —Kathryn Bianconi, '23. “Our Gym Teacher” Our Class Sponsor Kathryn Bianconi Rosella Davis M ARGUERITE Bui DOES LA LUMIERE 1923 - ------ 1 Page Seventy-five The Cheering Stand LA LUMIERE 1923 Page Seventy•six Our Athletic Seniors ee, we are the athletes of the school, Cnder Coach Shea's determined rule; In Basket Ball—at times are beaten.

The constant practice in translating into French easy variation on texts; the rendering into English of standard French Literature, both modern and classical; writing of short themes in French, sometimes in dramatic form; and the giving of information of business and social conditions in France .... all these, with due care for the pronunciation and attention to syntax, have aroused interest and earnestness in the study of LA LANGUE FRANCAISE have opened wide the door leading to intelligent French conversation. 1 he ambition and eagerness of the students of French show that they find beauty in the language and joy in its study. The Operette-Bouffe, “La Parapluie de Don Quichotte, given on May 13, was vibrant with life and crowned with success the work of the 1923 Freneh Classes.

Antes de los guerra mundial los Americanos del norte apenas tenian noticia de las oportunidades que, en punto a negocios, ofrecian estos paises, ya que las naciones europeas habian monopolizado todo su comercio, pero ahora, ya no es asi Los Estados Unidos aprecia en lo que vale el comercio de los Americas espanolas, y envia alii sus mejores representsntes en la diplomacio y en el comercio para introducir en ellas sus generos y articulos comerciales de todas clases. De alii nace la necesidad de estu diar, aprender y hablar el castellano, porque, senoras y senores, la edod de los interpretes, paso ya a la historia. Para alcanzar exito en nuestras relaciones comerciales con las Americas espanolas, debemos hablar correctamente el castellano. Ahora pues, teniendo en cuenta ventajas de esta preciosa langua, los Academia de San Jose’ pone singular empeno en darnos un perfecto conocimiento de la misma, ensenandonos tanto la teoria como la practica, tanto lo reperente al comercio como lo reperente a las buenas maneras sociales. Por lo que, despues de recibir el ultimo grado en la Escuela Superior, al des- pedirnos de nuestra Alma Mater, podemos decir que sabemos el castellano, y que estamos preparadas para usar bien diclia lenqua or a en la conversacion familiar, ona en la correspondencia, epistolar ora finalmente, en el despacho de cualquier asunto comercial reperente a Mejieo y demas Americas espanolas.

THE LATIN CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Officers Marguerite Bridges Roberta McDonnell Kathryn Bianconi Geraldine McCormick lo vitalize the study of Latin and to bring home to the students, especially those who are entering upon their High School life, the commercial and practi- cal value of this subject, is the aim of this Club which has seen a healthy growth since its foundation—less than a year ago. By means of motion pictures it has been shown that children in Caesar’s day played almost the same games and enjoyed their dolls and ropes as we do— and, while cock-fighting, chariot-racing, and gladiatorial combats have no place in todav s sports, yet some of the adult features of Roman History show that life among them was a reality. The Latin Classes made posters during the year of advertisements in which Latin names were used, culled from magazines and periodicals. This collection was forwarded to the Head of the Latin Department at the University of Tucson and received favorable comment therefrom. LA LUMIERE 1923 --------------- - ..... ■■■—Li:1 i S5?t0 Page Eighty-one The more advanced students staged Latin Plays—and in June, robed in “toga, tunic, and sandals,” gave a “Symposium”—a banquet commemorating that of the Carthaginian Dido and the hero, Aeneas. This, more than anything else, seemed to make the study concrete and finding the old Romans to be truly human, “even as you and 1,” brought Latin back to its real estate. JAMAIS EX RETARD! I.

From time to time the young devotees at the shrine of Thespis have given to the general public an expose of their attainments in Dramatic Art; not only in the principles of stage tcchni(|nc, but in play production, costuming, property making, light effects, and stage management. The “season opened on the Feast of Our Lady of Victory when the 1923 “Masquers presented an original playlet entitled Our (’lass Prophecy.” The entire program was excellent.

Si- LA LUMIERE 1923 i(S X0 Page Eighty- five On May 13 the Junior Masquers played a close second to the Seniors in the production of “Wanted—a Maid.” Though a friendly rivalry exists between the Senior and Junior Drama Classes, this competition merges into hearty co-opera- tion when either—or both—“tread the boards.” The culminating glory of the year was the Senior Play, staged in the Elks’ Theatre on May thirtieth. “Jeanne d'Arc” was the happily chosen theme for 1923’s last act in the drama of their school life—singularly appropriate and un- usually interesting on account of the recent canonization of the warrior-saint. To (piote from press comment: “The S. J. A. Senior play bore the Academy stamp. The 1923 Class added to the luster of the dramatic traditions of the school. Seldom do we listen to such fine enunciation of English words so beau- tifully spoken; seldom do we see such graceful and consistent grouping, such dream-like dances! ...” But fairest memories will ever re-echo our happy school days. Thus we slip from “play life” into Life’s play! We pass behind the scenes and others take our places. —Marguerite Bridges, ’23. «55 LA LUMIERE 1923 Page Eighty-seven Music The study of music in some form is urged at the Academy, and, as music itself is more than performance, opportunity for intelligent listening is opened wide to all Academy students. The Music School, under the direction of highly trained artists, is abundantly prepared to carry pupils to the most advanced con- cert attainments. Frequent recitals, classes in theory and interpretation give the necessary experience in playing in public. Students appear in ensemble as well as in solo work. While the piano is the most available means of musical expression, the study of stringed instruments and the use of them in clubs furthers the development in time, rhythm, and harmony. The musicale at the end of the year affords pleasure both to the student and her friends. In the hurry-scurry and aggressive worldliness of modern American life, music is one of the most potent antidotes to offset the material and cultivate spirituality of expression, contributing con- tentment and happiness to the home-circle. The Glee Club is one of the popular activities in this department. Assisting in all out-door functions and rendering service whenever called upon, this organiza- tion aids in promoting the social element in the school. The possession of a singing voice should be regarded as a sacred gift—one held in trust from Providence to be used for the happiness of others. Choir music, cantatas, oratorios, and choruses are open to all pupils. St. Cecilia’s Choir gives itself to the Divine service in the parish church every Sunday. —Geraldine McCormick, '23. n fop LA LUMIERE 1923 lG5 C Sewing The exhibit of plain sewing, embroidery, and all kinds of needlework was one of the proudest displays of the Academy Year. The array of dresses, aprons, lingerie, and household linen—all handwork—was a fair representation of the en- thusiasm awakened in this department. To the care and repairing of clothing, two double periods a week are given and a visit to the sewing classes on a Saturday morning in Spring would reveal many a modern Priscilla—sans spinning wheel, it is true, but deft with the needle as was the fair Plymouth maiden with the spindle—for work of the hand as well as of the head is what makes the “all-around” S. J. A. girl. Beginning with First Year High School, each girl is required to make, by hand, at least one dress for herself. It is a refreshing scene to observe groups of happy industrious girls measuring, matching, and making-up smart summer frocks of gingham and organdie. To encourage the work and give due appreciation of its value, the Academy offers its best prizes for perseverance as well as efficiency in the sewing depart- ment. —Opal Cross, 23. LA LUMIERE 1923 1(55?iP Page Eighty-nine Commercial The purpose of this department is 1o provide a course leading to an accurate perception of business relations and a development of personal responsibilities. A High Sc ■bool Commercial Course of three years is here offered to students who do not expect to enter Normal or University, but would prepare for some life work in the business world. This course embraces Twentieth Century Bookkeeping—upon a satisfactory completion of which the student is awarded a diploma by the publishers—also two years of Shorthand, of Commercial Arithmetic, and Business English. At the close of the Second Year, the student easily takes from dictation 100 words per minute and types forty words—under the international rules of typewriting. Graduates of the S. J. A. Commercial Classes are in evidence throughout the city, in stores, law offices, and business offices. Positions are usually awaiting them upon completion of their course. —Ranson Drew, '23. LA LUMIERE 1923 --- KsfciS) Page Ninety Prize Oration Each year Yavapai ( ounty holds within its borders, the Northern Arizona hair, and it is only right and fitting that this county should be thus favored and that our fair ( ity of Prescott shoidd be the center chosen for the exposition of this portion of our State’s resources and riches. In 1864, when our pioneers named the county, they chose the name, Yavapai, roudly might they have chosen another name—also of Indian origin—could they have looked with the eyes of a seer into the future. That name would have been 'At Sedi,’ from the Navajo language, which translated is “the best” or “the nrst. May we not, when we speak of our county, think: Yavapai, At Sedi— Yavapai, the first! Arizona is larger than several of the States, east of the Mississippi. Yavapai is_the Mother of Counties, for with the exception of Mohave, all the other counties of Northern Arizona, originally were in Yavapai. Out of her have been created Coconino, Navajo and Apache Counties, and part of Maricopa, Pinal, Gila, Graham and Greenlee were torn from her side to enlarge their own area. 1 he total area of Arizona is figured at 113,020 square miles approximately, and Yavapai ( ounty originally covered 63,000 square miles of this area. lavapai, At Sedi, Yavapai, the first—the first, not only in scenm beauties and climatic conditions rivaling, if not excelling, that of Sunny Italy, but in mining, in cattle and in her other diversified industries. LA LUMIERE 1923 ______■■:-! . -------------------------------- Page Ninety- one In mining, Yavapai County, compares favorably with the most prolific centers. The total area of her p oductive mines is estimated at 3,240 acres, and the value of these mines reaches approximately $56,619,512.00. Yavapai’s three smelters alone enrich her yearly to the amount of $8,275,969.00. In sheep and cattle, Yavapai County cannot be eclipsed. She owns the best breeding lands in the Southwest. The number of her cattle exceeds the 176,000 mark and in poultry, in sheep, and in goats, Yavapai County transcends all others in Arizona. What then is to be our attitude toward the Northern Arizona Fair? What the proof that we as a group of counties, are reaching out toward the pinnacle of prosperity? The individuals are merely inseparable parts of the great mass of people of any commonwealth. Upon the individual rests the responsibility for the welfare of the State. Only in living together with common purposes, with mutual desires for civic improvement can the mass of people, through united action, achieve such prosperity. We have come to this Fair to profit from the efforts of our fellow workers. The Fair would be a fiasco were we not to draw therefrom new inspiration for future enterprizes. Is it any wonder that the Northern Arizona Fair is established in the Mother of Counties, and that her children from the North and the East come to her to show their respect and admiration-—bringing evidences in their crops, their herds, their flocks, their industries and their schools, thus to aid in making the Fair the chief event of the year, the “At Sedi” of our county, “the best” or “the first.” —Roberta McDonnell, '23. FRIDAY—THE THIRTEENTH First Prize Literary Contest, State Fair “You know I’ve got the nicest Grandma, and what she says almost always comes true. But this mornin’, when she laid her hand on my head so solemn- like and said to me, ‘Now, Jimmy, my boy, do be careful today, for ’tis one blessed by the witches and to no good cause does Friday the thirteenth ever dawn.’ Well, said I to myself—for no one ever, ever talks back to Grandma—there s just lots of Fridays and loads of thirteenths that I remember my ownself; so I guess I'll just go on down to the creek and fish as I was agoin’ to do.” Thus soliloquized Jimmy as he crawled wearily down from the hayloft where he had been dreaming for the past half hour. It was afternoon and the genial sun smiled down upon the all-important Jimmy, “barefoot boy with cheeks of tan.” as he plodded on his way. Ah! the large trees that shaded the bank along the creek appeared and the enthusiasm which had faded into a glow now sparkled again. While Jimmy was sliding down the bank, a familiar voice cried out, ‘Ili, there! Is that you?” “Yep, how’s fishin’? Do they bite?” “Pretty good, caught three.” vsrai- LA LUMIERE 1923 1(35S5i£) Page Ni ncty-two “Fine, but—” Splash! Gurgling and choking, Jimmy crawled out upon the bank, shaking himself like a wet dog, his sentence lost in the depths of the creek. “Shucks! now can you beat that, and I only got these overalls yesterday! Yes sir! brand new and now look at ’em!” “Oh, well, they had to be washed sometime—might as well begin young. C’mon, let’s fish.” “Huh!” said Jimmy to himself, “Grandma said it was Friday the thirteenth.” The two little chaps sitting side by side on the bank were very silent, each wishing that he could get the first bite. Suddenly Jack, Jimmy’s partner, let out an exuberant yell, “Whoope-e-e-e! I got a whopper. I’ll bet it’s six inches long; gee, I can’t ever pull it out with this line; get me a net! (Jet one quick!” Net—net—the word, at first strange to Jimmy’s ears, after some thinking brought to his mind the vision of a familiar object. Scrambling up the bank, running all the way home, almost jerking the door off the hinges, he rushed into Grandma’s room, snatched up the envelope and rushed back to the creek. “I got it!” cried Jimmy. “Where?” “Right here! can’t you read, H-A-I-RN-E-T, hair net? Best on the market.” “Oh! I wanted a rope net, not a hair net!” Well, Mr. Jack, just let me tell you a hair net is loads better than a rope net. Gosh, it cost fifteen cents. Grandma said so.” “Oh, well, all right! There! put it under the fish like that—then raise it up!—see? There, that’s it! Well!!! What did I tell you? There the fish went right through your old 11 AIR net.” Oh, gee, ami it cost fifteen cents! Now I 11 have to buy her another one with the fifteen cents I was goin’ to the movies on. Oh! Grandma said it was Friday the thirteenth.” “Well, there’s one thing sure, we can’t get any fish here if we haven’t a rope net. loot’s come back tomorrow!” “All right.” 1 wo straw hats, that a few moments earlier had rested on the shady bank, ere now firmly placed on the heads of our noteworthy fishermen, and the boys, fishing rods over their shoulders, began the homeward journey. “Say, but I’m hungry.” “So am I, oF timer,” replied Jack. Oh, the cook’s making pies today! Let’s try our luck at getting one, eh?” “C’mon, I’m with you,” cried Jack. (her the sill of the kitchen window a small rod head rose slowly, now a. pair of inquisitive blue eyes glanced carefully about the kitchen. Ah! ‘the cook had gone to market and there on the table not a foot away were—three pies. A small hand, and not a very clean one, rested for a moment on the table and then carefully lifted one of the pies. Jigger! here comes the cook! called Jack, and disappeared, rather speedily, deserting his comrade in crime, with thought for his own safety alone. Driven by fear, he found himself on the other side of the hedge fence. Jimmy was para- lyzed and still held the pie in mid air. What you-all doin’ up thar, Master James?” LA LUMIERE 1923 1 5K-£ JW5SfS � ' Page Ninety-three “Oh—just—just trying to catch a—a fly.” “Wal, you-all better come down off that there window sill right now.” “All right. Mammy, in just a minute.” “No minute, right now!” “But—but, don’t you see I can’t?” “Why can’t youse?” “Just-—cause.” “Well, I’ll help yo!” With this speech Mammy’s arms wrapped themselves around Jimmy’s waist. Yes, he came down, but the pie came also. Mammy saw it. Jimmy knew that she saw it and he became so excited that, slip!!—the pie went out of his hand and right down on Mammy’s head. “Lands sakes alive! What you-all plannin’ to do? Steal one of my pies? I’ll teach yo’, young man,” and in perfect time came spank, spank, spank; and in perfect rhythm we hear, “Oh! oh! Mammy, o—o—oh, Mammy, don't! Ill never do it again—never.” That night when Jimmy knelt stiffly down to say his prayers they consisted of, “God bless Grandma, God bless Daddy, and, oh. Lord, it you like me just a little bit, please don’t make any more Friday the Thirteenths.” —Aileen Powers, '23. BOOKS—AN INSPIRATIONAL POWER “Seek'si thou for bliss? Lot here it is. In quiet nook. With irell lored book. Let us, this evening, stand for a few moments in the alley of Inspiration. The Valley is limitless; within its boundaries may come all the people of the world. On either side are rolling uplands, the mountains of the Present, and the mountains of the Past. As we stand, attentive to a voice which rings across the valley, we realize that the words are coming from the lips of Echo. She stands upon the mountain of the Past. As she speaks, we listen with delight to the mystery and music of her words, as, caught by the rugged mountains of the Present, they come down to us with a mingling of innumerable voices. The woids which we hear are not new; only the unnoticed harmony and melody of the Past. As we listen, the voices of the air seem to take visible form before us. Ihen, lo! we see that the voices are the words of a book in shadowy form—behind the book appears the form of a man—behind the man are many forms representative of his race. l et us listen to these voices speaking to us, ‘In such apt and gracious words that aged ears play truant to their tales.” Who first speaks? Who from all the throng seems to speak to you or me. The immortal Hamlet. Behind him, the master, Shakespeare stands. Other forms appear: Portia in lawyer’s gown—Caesar, master of men —( atherine, hasty of temper—all those who would accompany us in person, or with words of w-it or counsel, out of the Valley of Inspiration.

Choose as you will, If you wish to forget the crowded city—go with Chaucer—on his pilgrimage to Canterbury, “there will you hear the crowing cock, the lark and the linnet, and there will rise for you odors of ploughed or flowery mead.” Do you long to succeed in argument? Take the hand of Webster or of Burke. I hey will teach you patiently and well. Whatever companion you may desire, he is waiting in that multitude of embodied voices. Shall we not seek friends here? They will be true, helpful, loving, always faithful. Go into the alley of Inspiration. To you is given greater power than was given to that character who stands beside his master, Shakespeare. lie once said, I can call spirits from the vasty deep!” his companion replied, “Why, so can I, or so can any man. But, will they come when you do call for them? ’ They will come when you call for them. Stand in the Valley, call to the living people oi the Past, Echo will aid you. 1 hey will step, at your call, from shadowy homes of Bookland—from the provinces of poetry, history, and science. Oh, would you be happy? Where can you find better companions? You will walk daily, with the master spirits of the world, with written words which “more strong than steel can bind your stubborn heart,” the subtle mind, “A sodden life with glory leaven, And save a ruined soul for Heaven. —Marguerite Bridges, '23. Tennis TTrophies fe ic LA LUMIERE 1923 Page Ninety-fiv Last Rays (An Autumn Sunset in Prescott, Arizona) Just sing me a song of the eventide When the sun in theWest is low. And the amber shafts of sunshine hide In the flush of the afterglow. When the autumn wind in the woodland sings A lingering lullaby— And the ruddy leaves, like viol strings. Return a sleepy sigh; When a sacred peace creeps over the hills And broods by meadows of gray. And the heart with fondest memories thrills That rever can decay. And then as you sing let me wander again By a quiet shady way. And list to your words as up through the lane Comes a fragrant load of hay: “Now, just make a wish and your dreams will true!” (Ah me, but your eyes did shine!) So I whispered a prayer that life’s shadows be few And our lives, like rose leaves, might entwine. But dream ships are sometimes lost in the night Or wrecked by rocks in the seas, So I sit all alone in the fast-fading light— All alone with my memories. Yes, sing me a song of the eventide When life, like the day, is done And the shadows cast o’er the mountains wide Announce that the course is run. In the gathering gloom that hangs like a pall M ay I still have light to see That my shattered hopes and sorrows all Were just what was best for me; And then like a useless servant at last May I offer these all to Thee: My fruitless dreams and my failures past— A sorrowful rosary. —D.

If thou thy burden all the night— Dost carry through? The camel kneels at break of day To have his guide replace the load, Then rises up anew to take— The desert road. So thou shouldst kneel at morning’s dawn That God may give the daily care, Assured that He no load too great— Will make thee bear. “Take iny yoke upon you. and learn of Me For I am meek and lowly in heart; And ye shall find rest unto your souls, tor My yoke is easy, and My burden is light!” —Matt.

Unique in the history of Arizona and hacked by a teaching tradition of nearly half a century in Prescott, the St. Joseph’s Academy, founded in 1878, enjoys the distinction of having advanced steadily and consistently with the progress of edu- cational theory. From its ideal position on Academy Heights, commanding a panoramic view of our fair city and its background of pine forests, our Academy appeals to the student whose mind and heart respond to elevating influences. St. Joseph’s welcomes children of all creeds. The S. J. A. high school curricu- lum is arranged to meet the requirements of college, normal and commercial courses. It is fully accredited and, conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, main- tains a well qualified teaching body, recognized as such by leading colleges and universities. The excellent health record of the Academy, aside from climatic advantages, is sustained by physical training under a skilled instructor. Great enthusiasm is shown in all seasonable sports, but around horseback riding centers the general interest. The annual meet, held during the spring on Academy campus, and the contesting for the tennis medal at the University of Arizona are attractions in this department. The beautiful chapel with its elegant appointments, the magnificent library, the completely equipped laboratories, the home-like living rooms and spacious auditorium with moving picture booth and radio sets, are among the attractive features of this delightful and modern school of which Prescott and its people are justly proud. —An Alumna.
