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

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

But it is also a well-established fact that to those not possessing a purely scientihc mind it is of great benefit. lt is for this reason that the biology students, many of whom will not pursue another science in high school, have organized this club. Eager for a broader knowledge of plants and animals, the members of the Biology Club resolved to become fully acquainted with subjects not included in a regular course. lts regular monthly meetings furnished a pleasant hour for those who attended. A feature of importance was the program of constructive work planned for the period from April to tlune. This work involved the somewhat intensive survey of the entire region adjacent to Alvernia. A number of plant-hunting expeditions to points more distant than the city environs were enjoyed by the members. Several visits made by the club to flower displays at the Navy Pier and Garfield Park, to the Stock Yards, and the Brookheld Zoo awakened a better understanding and keener appreciation of God's lavish gifts.
