We'll walk in a sweet-posie garden out there Where moonlight and starlight are streaming, And the flowers and birds are filling the air With fragrance and music of dreaming. There'll be no little tired-out boy to undress, No questions or cares to perplex you There'll be no little bruises or bumps to caress. Nor patching of stockings to Vex you. For I'll rock you away on a silver-dew stream. And sing you asleep when you're weary, And no one shall know of our beautiful dream, But you and your own little dearie. And when I am tired I'll nestle my head In the bosom that's soothed me so often, And the wide-awake stars shall sing in my stead A song which our dreaming shall soften. So Mother-My-Love, let me take your dear hand, And away through the starlight we'll wander, Away through the mist to a beautiful land- The Dreamland that's waiting out yonder!

Convent of the Blessed Sacrament St. Elizabeth's Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania Feast of the Ascension My dear graduate: So you want to have a career! Well, I certainly hear that. I suppose, you are going through volumes of catalogues and papers to get information on all kinds of work open to one who intends to devote her life to a cause. You won't lose sight, I know, of the fact that the best sort of career is that in which one's neighbor is most benefited. ' You must not allow the rosy glow of romance to shine too persuadingly over your ideals. Everything looks perfectly grand in that light. That is why it's so hard to dis- regard it. Don't mistake me, dear graduate, for a practical old bore. I want you to be enthusiastic about your future work. I haven't much use for anyone who can't be alive and very interested in an important thing like this. Just don't forget the Lord -that is what I am trying to say. You see, God never, never thrusts Himself for- ward. If you want Him, you must ask Him to come to you and help you. Let me be explicit. I wonder if you've ever had a lump in your throat when you of some masterpiece, am glad to ---- 51: Z. .r.,,,.m, 3 7 1: E P wf 91,?'-21.1 4 - 5- , as ' . 'its 2 y he fe . fe heard an excellent rendition or at the strains of the Tantum Ergo ? Do you know why? I'll tell you. God is in everything that is exquisite and beautiful and grand. You look up to the great vast expanse of blue sky and then realize the truth of the words, What is man that Thou art mindful of Him? God lets you see how wonderful He is. Saint Augustine meant that when he said, Our hearts are restless till they rest in Thee for then we know that only God can fill the awful void within us. Will you let Him do it? Are you going to let His love fill your heart? I always think of the passage of the Bible that states that when God had fashioned man, He breathed into the form He had made. Our souls are God's breath. So are the souls of His neglected onesg and He wants to come to them. Is God asking you to make your career the bringing of souls to Him that He might fill them with Himself? Won't you think it over? There are thirteen millions of colored people who are waiting to be taught to love God. Several hun- dred thousand children of the Red man are without Him, too. The Lord of heaven and earth is looking down on you. When you turn your gaze upward and see His face,-God's face-what will your answer be? God love you and bless you. Yours devotedly, A. H. S. Alumna. .., O.l. . We Sophomores think that Biology is the only subject. This is our first year for science. Regular trips to the laboratory are made, during which visits we dissect everything from fishes to grasshoppers. The work is delightful, but it's a mystery how we endure the handling of dead specimens and the odor of formaldehyde. We frequently take our uniforms along with the fishy odors, to the cleaners. Catherine Smith, '38 -...- The Childhood of Jesus Out of Egypt have I called My Son QOsee xi-ID The Royal Psalmist sings: Thou art beautiful above the sons of men! From these two quotations and from Jewish customs we have to surmise the beauty and the peace that surrounded the Child Jesus after His return from Egypt until the incident of His being lost and found in the temple. At Nazareth under the care of His young mother and Saint Joseph, His limbs grew strong and His young lips learned to speak. Like other mothers, Mary taught Jesus His first lessons until He had reached the age of seven, at which time the Jewish child was handed over to the father for training and educating. The -child- hood of Christ must have been marked by health and vigor. During those years, no doubt, Jesus thanked His mother for her loving care of Him while a help- less babe. The neighbors and His relatives, when they beheld the beauty of His face and His gentle ways, could not help loving Him. While His parents silently adored Him, they treated Him as their son. The artist may picture the child Jesus amid the in- struments of the passiong but I do not think His childhood days were ever saddened by thoughts of the sufferings awaiting Him. Dorothy Forrest, '36 . . l In Memoriam Where age nor tears nor pain nor cruel care Can harm her now, or enter Memory's Hall She that we loved so beautiful and fair Shall come to us still radiant when we call. From all Life's dangers now, secure is she Lovely she was and lovely she shall be. The announcement of Dorothy Carr's death came as a shock to her school day companions and to all of us who loved her so tenderly. Were it not for our strong faith, we might be tempted to say that it was sad that one so young with a promising, bright future should be called from our midst. God, who does all things well, has taken her to Him- self and we trust, has placed her among His chosen friends to enjoy the unending delights of Paradise. Catherine Martin, '36. PAGE 17

THE BOYHOOD OF JESUS The title of this picture is The Boy Christ. He is about twelve, the age when every Jewish boy was obliged to fast and take part in religious ceremonies. Accordingly He, with His foster-father and His mother, goes to Jerusa'em. The divine Boy is thrilled with recollections of H.s Jewish race as He visits the synagogues. His Father's interests are now fore- most in His mind. H-e remains in Jerusalem after the feast and hunts out the doctors and teachers to expound for them the prophecies and the doctrines. Among this learned group, Mary and Joseph find Jesus, the center of admiration, answering questions and astonishing the puzzled doctors. Mary draws near and mildly reproaches Him, Son, why hast Thou done so to us? Behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee, sorrowingf' From the gentle lips of Jesus fall the first words that the Bible has recorded that He spoke- How is it that you sought Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's busi- ness? These sentences express the Divine Sonship of Jesus and the object of His mission on earth. Having respectfully explained His conduct. He went down from Jerusalem and was subject to them. He, the Creator of the universe, the Christ whose wisdom had astonished the doctors helps St. Joseph at the work bench. His years at Nazareth ran on in quiet, uneventful ways during which time our Lord communes with His Father and prepares Himself for His public life. The boyhood of Jesus is expressed in a few words: And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace with God and men. I, too, must advance in wisdom and age and grace as I grow to womanhood. I must try to perfect myself spiritually and intellec- tually that. I may become fit for my life's work- whatever it may be. Patricia Phelan, '33 A.. -40.1-li ST. JOAN OF ARC The members of the Catholic Crusade club chose St. Joan of Arc as their patron saint. It was she who strove to free France from the tyranny of the English and who attempted to preserve the Catholic faith in that country. This young girl of seventeen was appointed by messengers from God to do this work. Because she fought boldly and courageously, she was captured and charged with sorcery. After an unjust trial, she was burned at the stake for her church and country. This great saint, the Savior of France, is hon- ored and respected the world over.
