q--.s,,.-- FE!-i 11'i7.7Ei.iiii5iziii1Ii ff ' A glimpse of the gymnasium during a card party. Alvcrnia Ladies' Auxiliarg 1ConcludedJ To commemorate the seventh centenary of St. Francis of Assisi in 1926, the Auxiliary engaged Edith Marie Zahringer, an interpreter of Modern Literature, who told in musical verse the thrilling story of that beloved Troubadour of God. As the members turn back the leaves of memory, they find recorded in quaint design the beauties of St. joseph Convent, Milwaukee, where they were guests of Mother M. Stanislausg the pageantry of the dedication ceremonies St. joseph Convent, Campbellsport, Wisconsin, where the organization is commemorated by a stained-glass windowg the massive Chapel and Mission House at Technyg the simply yet impressive Chapel of Perpetual Adoraton at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, Mundelein. In fancy the Auxiliary pictured, on October 4, 1934, the celebration of the tenth anniversary of its organization, former members looking down from the fretted win- dows of their heavenly castle, gazing at the busy cohort of workers, thinking of the tcn progressive years, and sending grace-winged prayers to the Master's throne for their associates on earth. And in two score years when the greater Auxiliary of Tomorrow returns to Alvcrnia for a real homecoming of fifty golden years, Mrs. Catherine Bastian will be for them an etching in silver memories, the present Auxiliary, a miniature in the ivory of sacrifice. ,,,a ,,,, , , ., . ,i e . . ,.,,,, ,,.. it Q R 8'DRll1'. v as New susfacr anew, 'ro sa-nz 'rx-ua: 1-mamsl on 'rslisltwg A -1 --A t -L A t .,t- M mt-sftfsezee-etwlr

PAGE xo4 THE ALVERNIAN Mrs. Bastian and her co-workers in the cafeteria. Alveruia Ladies, Auxiliarg fContinucdJ Precious among the golden events from 1925 to 1935 are the first and second Annual Mothers' Retreat, by the Reverend Leander Conley, O.F.M., when a large number of the members accepted the invitation to come apart and rest a littlen and knelt in prayerful intercourse before their Divine Friend in the Tabernacle. In- numerable rosaries must have slipped through their fingers for the success of their undertakings, for their homes, for the Alvernia faculty, and for the students - present, past, and future-who will while away many pleasant hours exchanging sweet con- fidences with authors in that priceless literary monument--the library, Linked closely with the social activities- the monthly card parties and luncheons where the ladies sipped their tea or coffee, interchanging comments on the happenings of yesterday or the plans for the morrow-are the educational programs, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Helen Redmond. Features which cooperated generously to further auxiliary interests are a concert by the Philip Neri Choir, Conquered and In the Service of the Queen by the Joyce Kilmer Playersg Sun-Upn by the Loyola Community Theatre Players, Happy Landingsn by the Holy Name Dramatic Club of Our Lady of Victory, and Jeanne d,Arc by Charlotte Crocker. Miss Paulsen, a reputed interpreter of Child Psychology, thoughtfully and pointedly discussed the Growing Child and Its Problemsvg the Reverend Leander Conley, celebrated Francis- can, The Relationship Between Mother and Daughter.

MARGARET OUSRA N ORGANIZATION somewhat different from some of the other societies at Alvernia is the Chemistry Club, organized during the second week in October for the purpose of creating more interest in chemistry among the girls, and for promoting a spirit of fellowship among the students and the teacher as well as stimu- lating research. The club has no dues. From the returns of 21 candy and fruit sale the members secured part of the funds necessary to visit the Abbott Laboratories and the Lighting Institute. No other expenses are incurred by the club, which makes it unnecessary to collect dues from the regular members. Meetings are held once a month, on the afternoon of the second Monday, in room 204. In that it is one of the endeavors of the members of the club to learn more about the practical side of chemistry, at each meeting members read original papers of a non-technical nature on timely topics of interest. Frequently they dramatize scenes from the lives of famous chemists. THE RINGS CAME. NOW THEY KNEW THE END WAS NEAR. THE JUNIORS CAME INTO THE
