Mrs. Crosse. Dramatic Interpreter and Lecturer, talked to us on Personality as distinct from Individuality. Salient points in her lecture were that we have a goal in view, and that self-control is the most developed form of higher education. A debate on the question: Resolved that the powers of the President be increased, was one of the most interesting convocation hours of the year. Joseph Solomonow and John Rebuck, students at Creighton University, were the affirmative team; and John Dematteo and Fred Eichinger of St. Thomas College, the negative. The debate was well prepared and splendidly given. The gentlemen from Creighton were unusually good. Michael McGuire of St. Thomas was Chairman. Miss Willmann came to us a messenger of Sodalities and Catholic Action, as sponsored by Father Lord. She emphasized especially, devotion to the Blessed Virgin, and exemplary Catholic life. Miss Odiorne, our Physical Education teacher, has proved a very successful coach. Fair play and good sportsmanship are outstanding traits in her character. With the younger and larger groups she maintains strict discipline. With us of the smaller, senior group, she is just one of us. Mr. Cecil Birder, Instructor of Voice-Music Department at the University, is inspiring our best efforts in Commencement choruses. The group consists of Psalm CL arranged by Ce’sar, Lift Thine Eyes. Mendelssohn, and Fly, Singing Bird, Edward Elgar, which we hope you will all enjoy. Mrs. Dawson, teacher of Home Economics, is the sunshine of her department. Her winning smile and her cheering words make work seem only play. Under her skillful direction we have made everything in wearing apparel from a handkerchief to a finished'garment. Mother Antonia, President of the College of Saint Catherine, came to us a-brim with inspiration for girl-life. The theme of her lecture was The Possible You. We see the Possible You in ideal characters around us. We are. or may be. what we make ourselves. Only in our last breath do we give the final delicate touch to the Possible You.

FATHER MEAGHER Father Meagher will be long romembered by the student body of the Academy for the splendid retreat he gave. Silence, prayer, courage made the triple bond that linked us to God and heaven during those blessed days. These points, as well as being ever prepared for death, were emphasized throughout the Retreat. Father tried to hold a mirror to oach girl by comparing us to sinner, saint, and human being. Being very approachable, many of the girls had private conferences with Father, and came away with their problems solved, and their little clouds dispersed. We all made a holy and a happy Retreat, which will ever live among holy and tender memories. father wolf Father Wolf's lecture on Words gave us much food for thought. He illustrated their marvelous, almost miraculous power for good or evil, and closed with a beautiful allusion to the Divine Word. FATHER BANDIS Father Bandis took us on a trip through the Holy Land. His description was so realistic that we feel we can find our way to all points of interest. FATHER SHEEHY Father Sheehy reminded us that the fundamental mean-of Catholic Action is living a Catholic life. To be loyal children of the Church is all that our school asks of us. FATHER GLEASON Father Leo Gleason, Academy Chaplain, has been closely connected with the institution since its beginning. Every day at dawn, he is at the altar to begin the Holy Mass. He is ever ready to serve us in any way. FATHER SCHMITZ Father Schmitz has shown a lively interest in our school since its beginning. He has encouraged and helped us in many ways, and is a yearly patron to The Angelus. FATHER CULLINAN Father Cullinan is one of our very own—always a staunch and loyal friend, manifesting his interest in many ways, known to us.

AND THEY THAT INSTRUCT MANY UNTO JUSTICE SHALL SHINE AS STARS FOR ALL ETERNITY. To Our Principal, and Our Teachers A group of names, but faces missing here: A group to each and all of us so dear; A group of teachers kind, and friends most true: A group to whom deep gratitude is due. But words are frail our message to express; Their symbols seem to make our meaning less. Our life-long loyalty will be the test To prove our love. With God we leave the rest. —Mary Jane Kenney.
