Ode to The Seniors Well, there you are. my classmates fond and dear: I smile on you. yet try to hide a tear. That I was halted in the joyous race. And forced by fate, to slow my quickened pace. You are my dearest, sweetest schoolday friends: But now. I fear, your graduation ends That closer touch of friendship that was mine. When, side by side, we walked toward learning's shrine. And as you stand on brink of other life. I pray the future holds no pain nor strife. Goodbye! Farewell! since we are forced to part: One fond request I ask you from my heart— When thoughts of dear school days come to your mind. Remember one whom you have left behind. I 13 1 —Mary Storch, 12B.

Where Girls Meet Girls A place where every hallowed corner reeks With mem'ries quaint: where happy school girls oft Communed, or listened for enlightenment. As scholars famed, of God or fine arts spoke. The drama too. they viewed in pageant bright. Of youth and beauty. And how oft they thrilled. Themselves to find before the footlights gay. In classic music, or in drama great. And when in future years some hours we spend In peaceful reminiscence o'er our book. What joy to see ourselves and schoolday friends All wreathed in smiles, because our hearts were glad! And this dear place so cherished by us all. Will call up mem'ries sweet of bright school days. —Louise Reese. 12A. I 12 1

Father REARrx N gave us a beautifully illustrated lecture on his trip to the Holy Land. He pictured for us the old city of Jerusalem, its crooked, narrow streets, its cobblestone walks, and its massive picturesque gates. We followed on the screen, the Way of the Cross, and learned that almost all of these sacred places are in the possession of the Mohammedans. Father pictured the scenes so vividly that it seemed that we. too. had made the trip to the Holy Land. Father Cullen used for the keynote of his lecture, the words of David. King, poet and saint: O Lord, teach me goodness, self-control, and wisdom. As he developed his theme, and applied it to our lives, we better realized the grandeur and beauty of our religion. He inspired us to make the soul, instead of the body, the master. He left us repeating in our hearts the prayer. O Lord, teach me goodness, self-control, and wisdom.’ Father Gleason. Academy Chaplain, sang the high mass, and talked to us on January sixth, when we returned after Christmas. He told in a most interesting way. the beautiful story ever ancient, yet ever new. of our Redeemer’s birth. As we listened, we felt transported to Bethlehem. caught the smile of our Infant God. heard Angels sing, and glimpsed in the distance, the Wise Men. following the star. With them, we were inspired to offer the gold of love, the incense of prayer, and the myrrh of self-denial. Father Corrigan came while the Christmas Spirit was still with us. He developed the thought that Mass is simply Christmas. Mass is Christ's whole life, and gives us His birth. His life, the last supper. His death, and His Ascension into Heaven. The keynote of the whole Mass is found in the Oration, which changes with every Mass. Each one of these prayers is a perfect jewel, a perfect masterpiece. Father concluded by saying. The loveliest thing that God has done for us is to have given us the Mass. I M I
