I le is only beginning. I le is just commencing to make use of the knowledge he has been acquir- ing. and on the way he lives up to true principles in the world he is enter- ing. shall depend the measure of his success. Generally speaking, the world counts success by the amount of power, honor, or wealth a man may possess; but history and our own experience teach us otherwise, and show us that the world’s standard of what con- stitutes real success in life is wrong, for they give us too many sad ex- amples of men whose lives were richly endowed with power, honor, and wealth, and yet were failures. If your careers are going to be successful ones, you must remember that mere material things, however necessary they may be, are short-lived and should never be regarded as more than means to a noble end. In every true man and woman there should be found something higher, nobler, and holier, that shall live for eternity, and that is fidelity to duty. When a man has lived his life and it can be truly said of him that all his actions were characterized by honest effort, by fidelity to duty—duty to God. his fellowman and his country—that man, and he only, has achieved success. He may have died poor, unwept, and unhonored, as many a brave soldier has, but his deeds shall be eternal. To be a success, then, means primarily to be men and women of duty, and to be this, you must have principles to guide you in your relationship with God and your fellow-man. You must be intellectually convinced that a certain line of action is right and that this conviction must pass beyond your lips by in- fluencing and governing the actions of vour lives. Strength of will is at the bottom of real character, and virtue, without which life is worthless. We take this occasion of extending our hearfiest congratulation, and of wishing you the highest success in life—success that shall merit eternal friendship with God in Heaven, for to each one of you he speaks today: “Esto fidelis usque ad mortem et dabo tibi coronam vitae.’’ Apol. 11-10.)

Class Prophecy My HELEN HESLIXGTOX, ’28 The rain beat monotonously against the window of my hut. as I sat staring into the flickering flames, enjoying mv Sweet Solitude to its fullest extent. I had never spent much time in reminiscence but on that stormy night as I gazed into my crude fireplace, the howling wind and driving rain seemed to recall old memories and fill my heart with a loneli- ness that had before been unknown in my hermit’s life. My eyes grew heavy as I watched the glowing embers and the curling stream's faint blue smoke, but I seemed powerless to move them from this enchanting spot. Suddenly from the flames there arose the vision of a familiar figure in the spotless white uniform of a nurse. She smiled a sweet contented smile as she pointed to the red cross on her arm. Alva! T softly called, I ut alas, too late—she had vanished as mysteriously as she had come. Ilefore I had time to recover from my shock, another figure had sud- denly taken life from the curling vapor and had stepped out upon the hearth. She held in her hand a small blue volume entitled “Memories and Other Poems,” by Mary B. Onstott. I was about to leap from tny chair to extend my hearty congratulations, but she motioned me to keen silent, and slowly lifting the cover ran her finger along the lines which read: “Lovingly dedicated to the Class of ’28. With a happy smile she closed the book and like the former vision, melted from view: and now the air became laden with the fragrance of orange blossoms, vividly suggesting Here comes the bride. Faintly 1 heard the sweet strains of Lohen- grin's Wedding March as from the dying embers appeared a sweet, bride who laughingly blew me a kiss from the slender hand I knew so well. Ah! that same light step, that same sweet face—I could not mistake them.—Rosemary! As that graceful apparition disappeared, behold in its place a burst of g'ory, — light, — confetti, — serpentine. — music, — laughter. — dancing, — one great social whirl and amid the confusion I saw all eves directed toward a great and glorious throne, slowly evolving from the magic fire. I rubbed my eyes to see more clearly the spectacle of shining splendor and beheld our Fair Georgette bending her lovely head to be crowned Queen of the evening. The apparition next disclosed a large desk, literallv strewn with books and papers crying for attention : seated in a high-backed chair was our old friend. Mary F. Lesley. One glance sufficed to show that she was sti'l pursuing her work of former school-davs. 1 faintly distinguished the words “Editor” — The Sunset — on the glass door. As these letters were obliterated 1 heard the sad. sweet tones of far off convent chimes proclaiming the hour of prayer and the vision now dis- closed the tall, stately figure of a Carmelite nun. Was this the Little Flower? I was not long disillusioned for with a slow, graceful turn of the head I recognized the sweet familiar smile of Manuela. As the last faint note of the chimes died away, with one pitying glance at me and my hut. she stepped slowly back and became a part of the crimson picture. Oh what a happy hour you have rendered me. dear classmates, but T envy you not. You have only made more sweet the solitude of my hermit hut.’ - . ■ .:■ . ,, _ sieKstor.3ior.eiv.o.

Where love and knowledge still increase. And clouds and darkness yield to growing day, Is more than wealth or fame or peace. No other blessing shall 1 ever ask. This is the best that life can give: This only is the soul’s immortal task For which ‘tis worth the pain to live. We feel it our first duty under the subject of Religion to thank our Right Reverend Bishop for his unfailing solicitude with regard to our spiritual needs. 11 is Lordship has, since his coming to Tucson, either per- sonally celebrated the Sunday Mass in our Chapel, or thoughtfully ap- pointed a substitute when duty called him elsewhere. Gratitude is also due our faithful Chaplain, Reverend Father Victor Stoner, the sound of whose footsteps never fail to be heard simultaneously with the 6:00 A.M. whistle. In Reverend Father Connelly the students have ever found a loyal friend, a wise adviser, and an enthusiastic supporter. May he Ire with us for many years to come. September 16th Reverend Father Stoner celebrated High Mass in honor of the Holy Ghost, invoking the blessing of God on the scholastic year. The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin was reorganized December 2nd. The result of the election was as follows: First Prefect—Alva Myers, '28; Second I ’refect—Georgette Edgerton. ’28: Secretary—Rosemary Allen. ‘28: Treasurer, Charlotte Hermes. '29. On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. December 8th. the Sodality received Holy Communion in a body at the 7:30 Mass in AH Saints’ Church. In the afternoon an impressive ceremony was held in the Academy Chape! with Reverend Father Connelly officiating. Fifteen new members were received and twelve aspirants were enrolled. The students of the Academy faithfully attended the Mission given by two zealous Paulist Fathers at All Saints' Church. The Academy Choir sang at All Saints' Church on the following occas- ions: Christmas Dav, Confirmation Dav, and First Solemn Communion Day. Pazc 18 I t The Seniors were privileged in being selected to decorate the Repository for Holy Thursday at All Saints’ Church. The Sodalists, veiled in white and wearing the Sodality medal and ribbon, formed a guard of honor before the Blessed Sacrament throughout the day. During the month of March the Faculty and students assembled in the Academy Chapel for devotions to St. Joseph. The month of May. dear to every Child of Mary, was introduced with special devotions in honor of our Queen. The Sodality had charge of the May procession and decorated the altar. The solemn crowning of our Mother as Queen of May was followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Mass was offered in honor of our Blessed Mother in the Academy Chapel on the first Saturday of May for the Sodality members. 'I'he par- ticular intention was to invoke God’s special protection and blessing on the Children of Mary during their summer vacation. MV CREED I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all—the foe, the friendless; 1 would be giving and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up—and laugh—and love—and lift.

LOCKWOOD, Ph.D. of the University of Arizona In his remarkable volumes, “Kino's Historical Memoirs of Primeria-Alta, Professor Herbert E. Bolton has disclosed in firm, clear outline one of the great characters in American history. The figure of Father Kino had loomed there in indistinct outline for two centuries; but it required the skill and devotion of a great modern scholar to reveal his truly monu- mental character. Father Kino now stands before us in solid reality as a religious genius, a saintly missionary, a mighty spiritual captain—most potent individual and one of the most worthy in the civilization of the Southwest. April 28. 1700, Father Kino writes: “On the twenty-eighth we began the foundations of a very large and capacious church and house of San Xavier del Bac, all the many people working with much pleasure and zeal, some in digging for the foundations, others in hauling many and very good stones of 'tezontle' from a little hill which was about a quarter of a league away. For the mortar for these foundations it was not necessary to haul water, because by means of the irrigation ditches we very easily conducted the water where we wished. And that house, with its great court and garden nearby, will be able to have throughout the year all the water it may need, running to any place or workroom one may please, and one of the greatest and best fields in all Nucva Biscaya.” Father Kino was a tireless traveler. For the most part, he made his journeys over those arid and savage deserts on horseback or muleback. Usually he was attended by a pack-train of forty, or fifty, or even a larger number of horses and mules from his own well-stocked ranches. Some- times he was given a smaller military escort—a captain or a lieutenant and a few soldiers: sometimes one or two of his fellow priests would go with him. Frequently, however, he had no other companions than his Indian servants. Often he took entirely untrodden routes and they sometimes led into very wild and dangerous places. The secret of successful travel on the parched deserts of southwestern Arizona is to know where the water holes are, and to be within striking distance of a new one before the old one is allowed to slip beyond reach. However urgent the journey may be, a good siesta for the servants in some spot where there is pasturage for the animals and water for both man and beast is a thing much to be desired. For example. Father Kino writes on a certain day—October the 11th— that he dispatched the servants with the relay “that they might go on to take their siesta and wait for me wherever they should come across good pasturage for the pack animals. We arrived before sunset at the Tank of La Luna and, because this watering-place is amongst some rocks so high that the pack animals can not ascend to drink water, we determined to eat a morsel of supper there and then travel, and we did travel three hours more by night, in order to reach the watering-place of Carrizal with more ease the following day. On the 12th, arising more than two hours before dawn, and setting out from the stopping-place at the rising of the morning star, after thirteen leagues of very good roads, we arrived at ten o’clock at the good watering-place of El Carrizal. ... I said Mass: we breakfasted, and after eating dinner we took a very good siesta: and after eight leagues journey farther we arrived at eight o’clock at night at the rancheria and ranch of San Marzelo.” It is Father Kino’s celerity and endurance that amaze one. On various expeditions, for a month or more at a time, he would average from twenty- Pape 22 -« «MlfaSia3E2K five to thirty-five miles a day over rough and often unknown desert country. When fifty-one years of age, in fifty-three days he rode at least fifteen hundred miles. Two years later, he made a trip into Arizona as far as the Gila river between September 24th and October 29th. On this journey he traveled one thousand miles, covering stages of thirteen, four- teen, fifteen, and sixteen leagues in steady succession, day after day. One of the most remarkable single day rides that he records was made May 3. 1700, when, between sunrise and midnight he traveled more than seventy- five miles. He went in response to a call from a brother priest to save the life of a poor delinquent whom the soldiers had captured and were deter- mined to. beat to death on the morning of May 4. Father Kino had recently received from a distant chief of the Cocomari- copas the gift of “A holy Cross, with a string of twenty blue shells. North, east, and west to the farthest boundaries of Primeria Alta, he sent messengers to invite the chief men of the tribes he had visited to meet him at l ac, that he might inquire with the utmost exactness whether these blue shells could have been brought in any other way than overland from the South Sea. Within a week, the chiefs began to arrive from various direc- tions. They all assured him that the shells must have been brought from lands more distant than they knew. There is a strange and solemn charm in Father Kino’s account of the long night talks there in the remote silence of the starlit Arizona desert with these ruling men of the Fimas gathered from far and wide: for his discourse had quite as much to do with the Heavenly highway as it did with the land route to the Pacific. Also at night we had long talks, in the first place in regard to our holy faith, and in regard to the peace and quietude, and love, and happiness of Christians, and they promised, as we requested of them, to carry this good news and teachings to other rancherias and nations much farther on. I have longed to find some picture or statue of Father Kino, but I have been unable to find trace of any likeness of him. What could be a finer tribute to this great Arizona pioneer than the erection, even at this late day. of an idealized statue of him at San Xavier, which he founded, or in Tucson ? Father Kino was almost seventy years old at the time of his death. His conversation was constantly of the sweet names of Jesus and Mary. In season and out of season he made earnest intercession for the heathen: and he was incessant in watchings and fastings, insomuch that he was cruel to himself, though to all others he was kind and compassionate. Says Father Velarde: After supper, when he saw us already in bed, he would enter the church: and even though I sat up the whole night read- ing, I never heard him come out to get the sleep of which he was very sparing. The discovery of land and the conversion of souls had purified him. He was austere in all his habits: he drank no wine: he used tobacco in no form: he had for a couch only two rough Indian blankets. He wore coarse linen, and at his death possessed almost no wardrobe, for he gave everything he could as alms to needy Indians. “He died as he had lived, with extreme humility and poverty. In token of this, during his last illness he did not undress. His death-bed, as his bed had always been, consisted of two calf-skins as a mattress, two blank- ets such as the Indians used for covers, and a pack saddle for a pillow. Nor did the entreaties of Father Augustine move him to anything else. He died in the house of the Father where he had gone to dedicate a finely made chapel in his pueblo of Santa Magdelena, consecrated to San Fran- cisco Xavier. When he was singing the Mass he felt indisposed, and it seems that the Holy Apostle, to whom he was ever devoted, wass calling him, in order that, being buried in the Chapel, he might accompany him. as we believe, in glory.” Page 2S I The Ethics of Art WILLIAM JOHN TUCKER, Ph.D Professor of English, University of Arizona Written for “The Sentinel” The literary critic of today who maintains that literature has an ethical value is apt to be scoffed at as Mid-Victorian and puritanical. He will probably be told that he is suffering from an “incompleteness of vision and will doubtless be asked to read the preface to Oscar Wilde’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, where he will find pronouncements like these: The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written: that is all. All art is quite useless. 'Phis is perhaps the clearest expression of the artistic temperament in our literature—a temperament of which James Huenker has the grace to say that it is often merely an excuse for kicking the decalogue in the mid- riff. Art for Art’s sake is an essentially pagan theory maintaining that literature exists for its own sake, and not to convey ideas about life. Surely a critic ought to he free to make a statement like this without being accused of going about in a challenging attitude with a chastity chi] on his shoulder.” Christianity refined art and gave to it its proper place. The old pagan conception gave way in a large measure to the Christian ideals of art. The pagan was inclined to love art for art's sake: the Christian loves art for humanity's sake, and ultimately, with Ruskin, for God’s sake. Taken literally, this theory of art for art’s sake is really meaningless, for art is a means to an end—the expression of the beautiful; and a means as such cannot be for its own sake. But it may mean that art should sub- serve no extrinsic purpose, professional or utilitarian: that it should be disinterested; that the artist must aim at the conception and expression of the beautiful through a disinterested admiration and enthusiasm for the beautiful. In this sense, of course, the theory expresses a principle wine . is quite true, and which asserts the noble mission of the artist to ’nankin • But, unfortunately, it is also commonly understood to claim the emancipa- tion of the artist from the bonds of morality, and his freedom to con- ceive and express beauty in whatever manner he pleases, regardless of whether he may aid men to virtue or solicit them to vice. This is a serious error. And it may be added that this erroneous view is not only ethically but also artistically unsound. For surely, it goes without saving that art ought to be based on truth; that the artist should understand human na- ture to which his work appeals; that he should not regard as truly beauti- ful a work the contemplation of which will produce an upheaval in the soul, which will solicit the lower faculties to revolt against the higher: and this is precisely what occurs when an artist ignores morality in the pursuit of his art. He fails to see that a wmrk of art must be judged not merely in relation to the total amount of pleasure it may give, but also in relation to the quality of the pleasure. He does not realize that if the total influence of the work is bad the work can neither be good nor beauti- ful. From the very nature of things this is so. __________________Page 2 4 ___________ It would be unreasonable to maintain that every literary production should have a direct ethical value or that the artist is bound to aim posi- tively at producing a good moral effect through his work. Esthetic pleasure is, no doubt, a matter of indifference. The pursuit of it through the con- ception and expression of the beautiful is the proper end of the fine arts, and is itself legitimate so long as it does not undermine the moral law. But every literary production which has not a direct ethical value should have at least an indirect ethical value, if literature is to serve its highest end for the benefit of humanity. We may read, for instance, a certain poem which serves to give us intellectual pleasure without necessarily conveying any moral whatsoever. Still, inasmuch as the soul of him who reads is refined and elevated for the moment upon reading a given poem, insomuch does the poem possess an indirect moral value that helps the individual towards the realization of the higher life—the result of coming into close contact with lofty emotion and refined thought. In this way, all literature, no matter what its subject-matter, serves its true aim and makes for tbe betterment of him who profits by the influence it exerts. This is the Christian view of the matter, but that it is emphatically not the view of some of our most representative writers of the past century may readily be seen from a perusal of their works. Page 25 - G . WG 6YC gVy o-, The Desert, Its Fascination and Wonders To the uninitiated, the word “desert’’ gives a feeling of bareness, aban- donment and fear of the unknown. To those, however, who know it best, it has a fascination; is a never-ending source of wonder, and lias that call, the unnameable thing that grips the very soul that brings him again and again to reflect deeply on the power of his Creator and the artistry of the hand of God. Arizona is a land of constant contradictions. Its magnificent heights, sweeping upward to the very heavens. Its low and fertile valleys, stretch- ing far beyond sight, to the ends of the earth, and its broad mesas, with their deceptive velvet-like appearance, give to the eve of the veriest skeptic a feeling of amazement. The desert is, in spite of its abandoned appearance, teeming with life, both arboreal, and corporeal. Each lofty range of mountains hides the vastness of a broad valley or plateau just beyond. Every mesa holds something impressive, concrete, that can cause one to spend hours, ves, days, wondering; what it is of the desert that so grips one's soul. Artists stand speechless at the glory of a desert sunset. Vet not one has been able to catch with his brush the wondrous colors of the painting of the Almighty. Over the wastes of the desert, in mirage and mere im- agination are visions that the poet and novelist have endeavored to put into words, but have failed to do so. Storms sweep over the grey pall of the desert, bringing chaos and ruin to its death-taking wonder—and pass, leaving in its place the soft velvet glow of the cactus, grease-wood and mesquite. What is the desert? Words cannot suffice. The soul of the spectator alone can tell. Explain the beauty of Music, the thrill of Love, the secret of the Sphinx. To those to whom its beauties have become revealed it is an open boon. To the rest it remains a secret, inscrutable and forbidding. Impressive from every standpoint, the weird beauty of the desert pos- sesses a fascination not easily thrust aside. It is not, strictly speaking, an acquired taste. You like it—or you don’t. There is no middle ground. You see it as a thing of beauty, mysterious, compelling, satisfying—or as a vast waste, bristling with death: a force that lurks forever at your gate, waiting for some unguarded moment when it may creep in and spread devastation in its path.” “To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language; for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings, with a mild nd heading sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware . .

All students are required to play by memory at the monthly report assemblies. Students are examined and graded by the head of the department at the beginning and end of each semester. An opportunity which the advanced pupils enjoyed during the past year was that of attending the University Artist Series. Included in this series were: Alexander Brailowsky, the noted pianist; Miss Alma Peter- son, dramatic soprano, and Miss Julia Rebell, pianist; London String Quartet; and Reinald Werrenrath. baritone, and Madame Schuman Heink. These recitals were presented at the High School Auditorium and at the Temple of Music and Art. Besides these, the girls attended a splendid program by the University Trio which is composed of Miss Julia Rebeil, piano; Joseph Green, violin, and John Mez, violincello. The annual St. Cecelia Recital was given by the music pupils on No- ffimber 23rd, followed by a clever party for the girls in the afternoon. The High School students had the wonderful opportunity of partici- pating in the ‘‘Messiah which was presented by the University Oratorical Society, December 15th, under the direction of Charles F. Rogers. A number of the resident pupils were entertained at the monthly social functions of the LaCampanella Club. They were guests of those day pupils who are members. This club is the student branch of the Satur- day Morning Musical Club and is composed of high school students of the city. The Senior Class of the History of Music covered a very interesting course this year. A correlation of the music, art. and literature of the Classic and Romantic periods. “Signatures—Terrible!” Half and whole steps—Worse! Double sharps and double flats!—Oh horrors!” Thus we heard some of the members of the Intermediate and Ele- mentary Divisions studying and exclaiming over their final examinations. Excitement ran high when the news was published that the Annual Music Festival would be held April 24th to May 6th inclusive. A series of student recitals were presented to the public, and last, but not least, in importance, were the annual parties and the picnic to Bear Canyon. During the last year the Academy Orchestra has grown in size and importance. It was in great demand at All Saints’ “High Jinks, card parties, and other social affiairs. WHEN' I WENT TO THE CONCERT I went to a concert one beautiful day To hear a wonderful orchestra play. One man played a harp, another a ‘cello. And one played a drum, a great big fat fellow, And some played the horn, and some played the fiddle. And a man with a stick stood up in the middle. I'll never forget that beautiful day When 1 went to hear the orchestra play.” By CHARLOTTE HERMES, ’2«) Miss Julia Rebeil in Informal Recital at Academy Tucson, and all of Arizona rightly rejoice in our talented musician. Miss Julia Rebeil. Professor of Music at the University of Arizona, but we of St. Joseph’s cademy are especially proud of this gifted member of our alumnae. Simolicitv is ever the mark of true greatness, and this quality is Miss Rcbeil’s peculiar charm. Let me play in the old music rooms, she said, “where the very walls whisper to me of dear by-gone days.” So we gathered informally in the Studio where an hour passed all too quickly. Miss Rebeil with true graciousness preluded the heavier num- bers of her program with a few words, simple, and yet so graphic as to fire the imagination and hold the interest of even the youngest member of her audience. Miss Rebeil is to us a real source of inspiration—the height of genius gracefully united with a charming personality. «pEjEZ s Music in Art ■'nr there is music wherever there is harmony, order or proportion. Music, “the universal language, and Art are so inseparably related that it is difficult to consider either by itself. The one makes its appeal through the ear, and the other through the eye. Whether they be expressed in marble or canvas, in poetry or sound, they are both equally beautiful. Gazing upon a painting of Saint Cecelia seated at the organ we almost hear the heavenly music pouring forth from the instrument. By the magic of the painter's brush we behold “The Great God Pan and harken to his pipes. It is the music-loving Pan who is so often repre- sented in Art. The reeds on which he blows strains so piercing sweet seem as an invariable part of his invironment. Of the many paintings of this primeval god of nature, the School of Pan by Luca Signorelli in the Berlin Gallery is considered best. It represents a goat-footed Pan seated on a rocky throne at sunset, a shepherd reclines at his feet, a youthful Olympus stands beside him while Pan sits entranced, listening to the mus'c of his companions. As the sun is slowly setting, the slender crescent moon is seen rising in the skv just above Pan’s head. The sad beauty of the god as he listens to the music of the pipes, the golden sunlight on the moss-green grass and the quiet peace of the scene trans- port us in spirit to the “melodious plot of beechen-green and the shadows numberless where Pan holds court. St. Cecelia, our great patroness of music, has been for many centuries a favorite subject with artists of the Roman and Bolognese School. The most famous of all paintings of this Saint is the one painted by Raphael. Cecelia, radiant with ecstacy. stands in the center wearing a rich, gold- colored dress, and a crown of jewels. She languidly holds a small organ from which the r eds are falling. Before her lie the shattered remains of instruments which she tried and discarded, before making her organ. She is listening entranced at an angel choir and is on the point of dropping her instrument. At her right. St. Paul, a noble figure in crimson, leans meditatively upon his sword, and St. John the Baptist watches intently her inspired iountenance. St. Augustine is at h°r left, and beside him stands Mary Magdalene carrying a jar of ointment. As we look at the |Painting we are impressed that, as St. Cecelia’s face is the only one turned heavenward, she alone hears the angel choir. The great musicians themselves have been a source of inspiration to artists. Rosenthal's lovely painting. Morning Devotions in the Family of Bach depicts the members of his charming family. Bach s wife, by a prettilv curtained window, is busily preparing the breakfast table while the children are clustered about the piano. Altogether it is a very do- mestic and appealing scene. Mozart and Beethoven seem to be the special favorites of Art. The most famous paintings of the former are probably, Kauloach s “ The Last Days of Mozart: Munkacsy's “Mozart Directing His Requiem, which is typical of the artist's melancholy style. Possible the most impressive of the many Beethoven pictures is Beethoven’s Dream, by the French - rtist. Ainte de Lemttnd, which was awarded the gold medal at the salon of 1863. In his beautiful conception The Death of Chopin, helix Joseph Bar- rias has given us a most graphic scene, in which he portrays the faithful Princess Czartarpka. a Sister of Mercy, Chopin s own sister, Louise M. Cuvard, the Abbe Alexander Jdowicki and the Countess Delphine Po- tocka, to whom he had dedicated his lovely alse, Opus 64, Xo. 1. s OW73?Q73.V Vr X 3=5=_ I he music of Love lias always been given a prominent place in art and poetry. Alma Tadema paints the Love Music of ancient Greece and Rome. Gustav Wagrez takes his lovers to Florence and their sweet serenades float up to us from shadowy gondolas. A beautiful example of this modern pastoral art is Burne-Jones’ “El Cant d’Amour. It is inexpressibly rich in beauty and simple grace. maiden of rare beauty is kneeling on a cushion in the center of a flowery lawn placing a primitive organ. Love, in the person of a young shepherd crowned with leaves, is gently blowing the bellows, while a knight in armour, his head turned in profile is seated near, absorbed in pensive meditation. Franz Hals boisterous, jolly ■‘Jester. with his expressive twinkling eyes and candid smile is a picture of happiness. Tie is playing a guitar and his keen enjoyment of the music is infectious. This picture hangs in the Gallery of the Hague. In “Harmony Frank Dicksee, an English artist, has pictured for us a scene which suggests Germany in the Sixteenth Century. The color scheme is most brilliant: the light which floods the canvas from the stained glass windows glorifies the old oriran and the maiden in her medaeval gown, making her a veritable “Cecelia in her lover's eyes. Tides Breton s masterpiece The Song of the Lark portrays a peasant girl: her soul and brain, benumbed by a life of toil and struggle, is blind to the beauty of nature around her. Not for her the light that strikes her path, nor the glorious tints of the awakening earth till suddenly the voice of the ‘prima donna of the dawn’ falls on her ear. It is a language she understands, and it lifts her soul away from the things of earth, into the realms of pure delight. She is no more a mere clod, but a living soul, ot whom is opened all the realm of beauty and harmony.” In his painting of “David. Rubens shows us the sweet singer in his old age. The artist’s conception of the singing prophet is beautiful in its spirit of devotion and worship. “David's eyes are raised, as if in a hymn of praise, as he accompanies himself on the harp. The details are care- fully studied, such as the characterization of his hands. They are dis- tinctlv old hands, and the hands of a musician, yet how beautiful are the fingers as they touch the harpstrings, and with what delicacy of feel- ing are they painted. This painting is remarkable for its sympathetic and spiritual quality. The great artists in their conceptions of sacred subjects invariably recognized music as an integral part of praise and worship. This associa- tion is exemplified in Murillo’s “Virgin and Infant Jesus, Correggio’s “Madonna and Child with Angels has painted a lovable young mother, tenderly clasping the Infant to her bosom. It is a charming composition with the light filtering through the delicate foliage on three angels who hover near offering the homage of their music. Thus music has always played an important part in Art—in youth and in love, in patriotism, in worship, and in every field of imagination and action. Its thrill pervades all nature,—in the hum of the tiniest insect, in the tops of the wind-smitten pines, in the solemn diapason of the ocean. God is its Author and not man. He laid The Keynote of all harmonies; I le planned All the perfect combinations, and Fie made ITs so that we could hear and understand.” —Brainerd. ---------------- ' - .............................................................................. ... . .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

How warm the yellow sunshine heat Along the white caliche street! The flat roofs caught a brighter sheen From fringing house leeks thick and green, And chiles drying in the sun; Splashes of crimson 'gainst the dun Of clay-spread roof and earthen floor; The squash vine climbing past the door Held in its yellow blossoms deep The drowsy desert bees asleep. By one low wall, at one shut gate, The dusty roadway turned to wait; The pack mules loitered, passing where The muleteers had sudden care Of cinch and pack and harness hell. The oleander blossoms fell, W ind-drifted flecks of flame and snow; The fruited pomegranate swung low, And in the patio dim and cool The gray doves flitted round the pool That caught her image lightly as The face that fades across a glass. In old Tucson, in old Tucson, The pool is dry, the face is gone. Xo dark eyes through the lattice shine, Xo slim brown hand steals through to mine; There where her oleander stood Twilight shadows bend and brood, And through the glossed pomegranate leaves The wind remembering waits and grieves; W'aits with me, knowing as I know, She may not choose as come or go— She who with life no more has part Save in the dim pool of my heart. And yet I wait—and yet I see The dream that was come hack to me; The green leek springs above the roof. The dove that mourned alone, aloof, Flutes softly to her mate among The fig leaves where the fruit has hung Slow purpling through the sunny days; And down the golden desert haze The mule bells tinkle faint and far;— But where her candle shone, a star; And where I watched her shadow fall— The gray street and a crumbling wall. Sharlot I By MARY BROWN ON-STOTT ’28 THEN TO THE WELL-TROD STAGE ANON” Assemblies Once each month throughout the year a special assembly was held when report cards were read and different classes in turn took charge of a short program.

Mammy Judy, whose matrimonial plans keep her constantly in the fore- ground of the story, finally rescues the Southern Cinderella. Al- though a comic character, the old Xegress portrays much of the typical Southern spirit of the play. 'Phis theme was carried out further in the groups of songs in which the whole school participated.

We hold these truths to he self evident—That a high school education is a necessary evil; that we have duly and honorably completed said high school course: that we consider ourselves the noblest of a noble line of Tosephites and that the heights we have attained through mature reflec- tion on the perplexed and critical problems of a high school career entitle us to the highest consideration of both faculty and students. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world. We entered high school in September. 1(U4—“green” as any Freshmen, but no “greener” than those preceding or following us. We struggled gallantly under the withering scorn of mighty Sophs and upper-classmen; we eventually mastered all thns“ subjects (particularly Latin and algebra) which had seemed so formidable to us; and we were finally, after much unnecessary deliberation on the part of the faculty, pro- moted to the elevated rank of Sophomore. We deeply envied the Seniors of ’?6 the Privilege of editing the first issue of the “Sentinel” hut now we fully understand and more fully ap- preciate their work since we ourselves have struggled for the success of this gigantic production. We, as Juniors, proved to be a very superior class indeed. We noblv survived an unexpected skirmish with the University Examiner and left the field with flying colors. For this noble deed we were awarded hon- orable mention. Tf benefits have resulted to our school from the feats of us intellectual giants let it always be remembered to our praise, and as an instructive example to our successors. Xow amidst vicissitudes of fortunes often discouraging, and in situ- ations not infrequently accompanied by criticism, we burned the im- pedimenta” of our Junior year and condescended to fill in a superior manner the vacancies left by our well-meaning, if less gifted predecessors. Lastly, profoundly penetrated with the responsibility of our important trust and ardently desirous that the spirit of this Institution might he sacredly maintained, and that future administration in every department be indelibly stamped with our wisdom and virtue, we hereby solemnly and sacredly promise that for four score and eight years we shall give this institution the loyal support which is its due.

Tucson—land of blue sky and gleaming sunshine. Tucson—land where people take life easy and leisure seriously. That is what his Excellency, Most Rev. Pietro Fumasoni Biondi, D.D., Archbishop of Dioclea and Apostolic Delegate to the United States, thinks of our city. “The far-famed sunshine is all that it is said to be,” declared his Ex- cellency. “ I am delighted with the climate, I could stay here forever, but business before pleasure— this with a genial smile, “O solo mio, I love it, this you can see, I say my office every day basking in Its sunshine.” Pleasure and gratitude were expressed by his Excellency at the friend- liness and hospitality extended him while on his visit here. “The people seem so rested, so contented—as if they neither asked nor wanted anything in this world; it is refreshing to come here from the ever-hurrying, restless East, and also a relief to discard a super-heavy overcoat, which I wore until a few' days ago.” The eminent ecclesiastic spoke in agreeable terms of Tucson as a thriv- ing city with an air of quaintness all its own—“a mecca for those seek- ing something different. The climate seems conducive to a general air of good will, and the very atmosphere imbued with peace. It is like a little world apart from the rest—taking its own time and putting no stress on speed.” His Excellency and his secretary Monsignor Leech, w'ere guests at St. Joseph’s Academy Wednesday, March 29th, and w'ere entertained with a short, impromptu program given by the Academy students.

His Ex- cellency commended the young ladies for the high quality of their work, and expressed his pleasure in hearing his native tongue so perfectly enunciated and interpreted. He then addressed the student body and won their hearts by requesting that an extra day be added to their Easter vacation. His Excellency, commenting on the illuminations in his honor on the eve of his arrival, stated humorously, that no more appropriate symbol could have been chosen than the fiery cross of Christianity.

Samson had the right idea about advertising. I le took two columns and brought down the house. In business the man who engages in the ad ventures is surest to come out unhurt.

The most common impediment in the speech of Americans is gum. 'o wonder a hen gets discouraged. She can never find things where she lays them. Scientists say we are what we eat.

Ever since 1 have been con- nected with the illustrious Edgeworth family, I have felt my importance and filled my place gracefully in the best society, but alas! it would seem that popularity decreases with age. I realized this fully at a banquet which 1 attended the other evening, when I accidently overheard Miss Bacon’s unkind remark. “Mr. Steel is becoming very dull. Yes, said Mr. Ham, that old saw bores me to death. I remember the day when his keen wit was envied by all. Alas I too remember the day when people stood in line waiting for an audience with me. But alas! the crown of sorrow is remembering happier days.” I should indeed weep, but being only a butcher knife 1 have no eyes for tears.
