UVEN I SPONSA CHRISTI! ACCIPE CORONAM! Long and insistently had the still small voice thus whispered to their hearts. to leave all-all that the world holds dear, and to devote themselves to Christ. their Master. as religious teachers in the Catholic Schools. And although the future looked rosy and promising, and their young hearts were filled with youthful hopes and aspirations, nevertheless they faltered not. neither did they hesitate to answer the Divine call. Gladly, joyously, they hade adieu to parents, home, and friends, and entered the Postulanture of the Sisters of Notre Dame where they are preparing themselves for their life-work, that of ll religious teacher in the Parochial School. Long will their memory he held sacred here at their Alma Mater! Proudly will their names always be spoken! ' The names. Marie Druppel 727, Angelyn Hesse '27, and Annette Helling' '2S. will always shine resplendent on the Honor Roll of the Catholic Central High! May their bright example spur on many another devoted student of our loved Alma Mater to follow the noblest vocation that God could give to a wom- an-a religious vocation. ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE

er. It was a younger man. What the-! Was the fellow crazy? Playing on the floor was not an occupation for a man of sixty-five. Good gracious! The man was actually crying! He seems to-. His stream of surprised meditation was interrupted by a loud thump at the foot of his chair. He looked down and almost fainted. His shoe had fallenloff. He added to the din made by the baby with a terrified shriek that no gentle- man with the use of reason would utter. But what did he care? The tempta- tion to crawl upon the floor was becoming very strong. But, oh, the chair was so high and he was so small! As he tried to touch the floor with his tiny foot the wails of Mr. Walker ceased. Why all the silence, da-da-daed Mr. Jones with a baby stare at the spot last occupied by the other. Walker was gone. He had vanished into thin air. Oh, he was all alone! How terrible! What was that noise! The other shoe was gone also! Mr. Carver approached his office rapidly. He thought he heard a baby crying. The sound seemed to be growing fainter and he burst into the room in time to see Mr. Jones' clothing sag into a heap on the chair. With a choking cry, Oliver rushed to the table. His priceless elixir was goneg the bottle was lying at the foot of Jones' vacated chair. And horrors of horrors! the two men had vanished leaving their clothing behind. What a predicament to be in! He was responsible for the disappearance of the fellows. The papers would call it murder. Why there was a policeman pacing up and down in front of his building already. He could hear his steps as he walked slowly back and forth. His body was shaking and he was steadily becoming weaker. He was a murder- er. The thought was too much for him and his knees sagged. He fell to the floor and lost consciousness. Suddenly he woke up and found himself lying on the floor at his bedside shaking in a cold breeze blowing in from an open win- dow. -CARL SUPER '28. . A WINTER FROLIC A laugh of mirth, a win'try clay, Ice-laden trees along the way, A skating party comes in sight, All clad in coats and tams so bright- We wonder why they seem so gay. But now we know, when 'long the bay They glide, and quickly make their way O'er sil'vry ice-and swing to right. A laugh of mirth. The sun slants down with low'ring ray, Skates cease to clank, across the way The moon shines down and now 'tis night. A shout-a swing-a snowy fight, Now homeward bound-away-away A laugh of mirth.
