The Stars Incline But Do Not Compel Riding through the Milky Way one night in my Rocket Ship, I accidently bumped into a large sleeping star. I offered my humble apologies, and after the star accepted them, I exclaimed that he looked familiar to me and he answered gruffly: Of course I do. Reflected on my countenance is the face of the person over whom I shine. I am the star of your old classmate, Bernice Conrad. You would never imagine what the future held for her. Bernice is the only wom an candidate for the Presidency, and a pretty good chance she has for it, l'm thinking . Then he introduced me to another star. l am the guiding light of Margaret Nehr. Margaret now owns a large ranch in Southern California and spends her time roping cattle and ac- companying her cowboy-actor husband on the guitar. Mr. Star then pointed to a far-off and explained: I-Ie watches over another classmate of yours. I-Ier name is Praxedes Hannah. She is in far-off India teaching the Indian children. She's a mild and meek soul and is very successful. A very white star then strolled over to me. I arn the star that watches over Madge Leleux. Madge was one of your nearest friends. She is now nursing the wounded in battle-torn Europe. When she returns she is going to marry and settle down to a quiet life. The white star introduced me to another star who said, I am the star who guided Irene Bordelon. Irene joined the Convent two years after her graduation. She is now majoring in English. Suddenly a very little star danced over my way: I am the star who shines over Amanda Franco. Amanda has put her artistic talent 'lo good use and travels all over the world, exhibiting her paintings. Slowly a studious-looking star, wearing horn-rimmed glasses, came over to me: I am the star who follows Helen Barger. She is a noted explorer and is now in the heart of Africa looking for the burial place of the elephants. Gradually the stars began to fade and I noticed the night was ending. I had to hop in my rocket and fly back to earth, without ever learning my own future. -Peggy Bordelon. Page Twelve

The Faculty Sister M. Ioseph, Supt. Sister M. Agnes, Prin. The Faculty ot the Blessed Sacrament Academy is composed of the Sisters of the Incarn- ate Word and Blessed Sacrament. The Order was founded in the early seventeenth century in the city of Roanne, France by the saintly and venerable lean de Matel. The Sisters engage in many works: however the most important work is that of the education of youth. The goal oi the Order's educational system is the harmonious development of all human faculties. It can- not be achieved by the mere inculcation of knowledge. Religion alone is capable ot securing this end. The Daughters ot lean de Matel, as Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, whether in noisy city centers or in the poor country mission schools, have made known the mysteries ofthe Incarnate Word and all the riches of Christian education and intelligent piety.
