Page Twelve THE 'ZEPHYR Cur Second Decade Q N April tenth, a beautiful and impressive ceremony was held in the Chapel of the Dominican Motherhouse of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, at Everett. Nine young ladies received the religious habit of St. Dominic, and three novices pronounced their first vows. The vows of the novices were received by the Right Reverend Bishop O'Dea and he gave the young aspirants the religious habit. Among the new brides of Christ were two of our former pupils. Effie Stein, known now in Religion as Sr. Mary Leona of Our Lady of the Rosary, and Evelyn Marie Kahl who is now Sr. Miriam of jesus, of the class of '27. A third, Sr. M. Catherine de Ricci Lucas, of the class of '26, pronounced her first vows. Among the many guests were a number of the girls from school. So shortly after Easter, many lilies, chastely beautiful and so symbolic of the great occasion, adorned the Altars and Shrines of the Chapel. A most inspiring serf mon on the great Dominican Order was preached by the Reverend M. S. Bohan, O. P. of Portland. Margaret Sweo, of the class of '26, entered the Novitiatc last january. Margaret is the eleventh girl from school to enter the Religious life, thus starting our second decade in His holy service. 'Tis His pure Heart alone Which never doubts, Whicli never tires- Which loves e'en more than It inspires- This is the better part. Lucille Hanley, '29.

THE ZEPHYR Page Thirteen rE6'e Lure of the Sea Inexorable! Thou straight line of eternal fate That ring'st the world, Whil'st on thy moaning breast We play our puny parts And recon us immortal! NYONE upon beholding the sea in its tranquil moments, or times of un' rest, knows there is a vague something calling, calling, and he feels the lure of the sea. One can see in his imagination the wide, never ending stretch of blue, blue waves, with their white caps and spray that lend enchantment and wiz' ardry to the scene, with the canopy of the heavens overhead, dotted here and there with the white or gray wings of the ever present seagull. Then there are times when the waves are dashing relentlessly upon the beach, gray-blue clouds hinting a storm, perhaps, with the white sails of an occasional sail' ing vessel or yacht heading for the shore. Again may be seen high walls of blackest waves-beating with relentless fury on the sides of the ship, or on the shore. Their fountain showers seem more like gray clouds descending than shiny drops of ocean. The black heavens above seem overwhelmed and the unceasing flashes of lightning make brilliant. the whole sea which seems ready to pounce upon its prey. Maybe a speck represents the victim al' ready within the grasp of the cruel waves-now one sees it, now it is gone forever! Yes, any of these scenes may be imprinted on the mind-maybe one of a thousf and others instead-as one's last glimpse of the seag but doesn't some unstill voice within say again, and again, and yet again? Change the skyline of the city, make great invasions into the aviation Held, help the great locomotive puff its way across the continent, but one thing cannot be done, that is to change the horizon of the ocean. A land may have a great fleet, but no changes can be made in the sea. One could look at it every moment of the day or night for a thousand years and still find a new scene of enchantment-something different, something unexcelled. And who shall sound the mystery of the sea? Beautifully indeed has the royal Psalmist told of this mystery. How truly he ac' counts for its superb charm-its enticement-its wonder, when he says, Mirabiles elationes maris, mirabilis in altis Dominus! Wonderful are the surges of the sea, wonderful is the Lord on high! Lois Richards, '28. On the first Sunday of each month, the sisters have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in their Chapel. This year, an hour on each exposition Sunday has been given to the girls for their special hour of adoration. Many of the girls thus availed themselves of the opportunity to spend an hour of love in presence of our Eucharis' tic King.
