PAGE 24 THE ALVERNIAN Miss ANNA HELEN REUTER Instructor in Dramatic Art Administration HE year 1935 marks the close of the tenth cycle in Alvernia history. No one can foresee what Alvernia will be at the end of the next ten years, but this we know -- that it will depend in no small degree upon how well the class of 1935 and those who will follow them represent it and interpret it to the world. Ever since her establishment in 1924 and her dedication in 1925, Alvernia has cherished deep in her inmost heart that there is no art or science in all the curricula of the schools, there is no theory of all the universe, no solid basis for faith or love, for hope or desire, no quest or goal of adventure, no real ground for any system of morals in which God is not recognized as Creator, Lord, and obeyed as Master, and worship- fully honored and loved as Father. On this all-embracing ideal Alvernia ponders day and night, pouring forth prayers that her daughters of the past, present, yea even the future, may fulfill this primary purpose of their creation. In every line of scholastic endeavor, whether physical, STRANGE, AT,FIRST, T0 SEE ALL GIRLS DRESSEIS ALIKE-AND YET,'HOW'FASCINATING!

THE ALVERNIAN most 'Reverend John 'Francis cnoll, 'D.'D. BISHOP or Foirr WAYNE, INDIANA INKED closely with Our Slllllfduj' Visilor, which has enjoyed a nation-wide circula- tion during the twenty-three years of its existence, is its editor and founder, the most Reverend John Francis Noll, D. D., bishop of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Thirteen years ago Bishop Noll sponsored the Society of Missionary Catechists and established a Novitiate and Training School for them near Huntington, Indiana. Apart from his duties as an editor and bishop of the diocese of Fort Wayne, the Most Reverend Francis Noll is treasurer of the American Board of Catholic Missions, a member of the Administrative Committee of the National Catholic Welfare Con- ference, Episcopal chairman of both the National Council of Catholic Men and National Council of Catholic VC'omen and a member of the National Committee of the Legion of Decency. To the class of 1935, Alvernia's tenth anniversary class, the name of Bishop Noll is significant, for it was he who addressed the graduates when they assembled for the last time at the Commencement Exercises on June 13.

.Q ,. ?- wif f' i' - .X Miss AGATHA RAUSA Instructor in Physical Education Administration mental, or moral, the sum of all her ambitions is that, without a single exception, her students, under the guidance of the School Sisters of St. Francis, may exert all their powers and use all their opportunities to fullill the ideal which is bound up with their individual creation-a place in the Father's Mansion. Accredited with the University of Illinois and the Chicago State Teachers' College since her establishment in 1924, Alvernia is recognized also by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction at Springheld. Each year she has grown and accomplished great things. Perhaps no great ligure has arisen from her midst, but, since she wel- comed her first Freshman Class in 1924 and graduated these charter members in 1928, she has sent forth young women who bear in their hearts many distinctly Christian and distinctly Catholic lessons. ,..,,.-..-.V - .-.,..,,., ,,,j,1,,..,, -s.,,,,. , , . , .m. j, -...,.:., in ,Ea .,,. mv, , AML. -..Z -.n,,L:,,,-,?7?2..s,NtY..,7 -.m,T,f , , . . , , ,, - .. . ,. i -Sa Km lr
