THE ANNUNCIATA The Junior Girls As for the girls of this third important cruise, what can girls do on a ship? VVell, we did do. We helped the boys out with all their problems. They would scarcely have made this port without us. They never could have made themselves clear in any of the foreign languages, had they not consulted us as their dictionaries. lt is true, we didn't scrub the deck, nor wash dishes, nor blow the fog horn, but we did entertain. VVe kept up the sailors' courage through all the storms of know- ledge--winds, rain, even ice-bergs-shoals, shallows--we inspired the boys with spirit of Sail on and on.

THE ANNUNCIATA A Bit of -Poetry HER PORTRAIT With queenly grace and dignity, it hangs in the reception hall Hangs aloft and smiles benignly. One and all May see it and admire, ' The beauty of the features, enchanced by love fllaternal, Oh may the love we bear her be forever and eternal, Mother's portrait sets the heart on fire. There it hangs in sweet repose, serene and high The sun's rays bright and clear Shine on that face, so lovely and so dear What ever life may bring, we feel that she is nigh. The sparkle in her lovely hair, Her eyes they follow everywhere Lihe to it there is no other That treasured picture of my lllother. Dedicated to my Mother BETTY MORRISEY, '42 REPORTS A smile beamed bright on a happy face, A heart swelled and beat at a mighty pace- A hand was clasped and shaken with glee- A par on the shoulder with a gusty, Aw Gee . A shadow clouded a downcast brow A heart that's stopped all beating now A hand extended, but spurned, not taken A piercing glance, a spirit shaken. T The course of the joy? The reason for sadness? Look in the hand of the holder of gladness, View with your glance, his who speels gloom, A report, that is all, with honor or doom. BRUCE SIDEBOTHAM, '42 MARY IN HEAVEN There she stands in mantle blue, A shining light like stars anew -- Her jeweled hands with grace outstretched, She prays, she blesses and protects. LORRAINE SOLLY, '42 38
