Remember how we L walked until dead tired we saw the loveliest of green Helds just ahead of us? Remember how we found an old L14 S :M-. barn and played in the hay there? Remember the lady across the road who so sweetly gave us the water? Remember how we decided to take a new road home, and taking it, discovered that we had so gloriously picnicked on cemetery land? Remember, then, how we wept and showered ifts on Marjorie, and bade her farewell? and remember, oh, remember, 510W we laughed when Marjorie never went away at all? And think of our million rehearsals for the Crusade Pageant! Our trips to Emery with our lunches tucked under our arms, our gilded ballet slippers, our first experiences in makefup, our daisy chains. What a happy memory for us now! Then, in our Sophomore year, Clare's Dodge? How it conveyed us, fifty at a time, hither and yon, and 'round the world! Remember the day when we went to the Westwood Botanical Garden and spent such an enjoyable afternoon in that retreat of unusual flowers? Who can forget our daily morning rush in the third year to beat the bell, when we'd have to wash our arms and necks the night before if we wanted to be clean. How we'd hop into our uniform, snatch a piece of roll, seize our books, kiss our mothers goodfbye and dash for the nearest street car. How we'd sometimes catch it and breathe freely, and oftener miss it and spend the next halffhour in desperate prayer. Remember how black and funny the girls would look on the cinder path as they'd rush in, single file? Can our teachers ever forget our ingenious excuses? Remember the race jane and Virginia had with the points on the blackf board? Remember Ruth Cunningham's perfect record? Ah, memories! Remember, too, one Washington's Birthday our hike to Devil's Back Bone? And remember COh, Gertrude doesj, the awful dog that insisted on following her and barkin at her all the way? And then, at the end of the third year, we decided to have a class picnic. Everyone was to meet the rest at the Coney Island boat with enough edibles for the Salvation Army. Remember, four reached the boat and one Virginia missed it? Then, we Went swimming for hours and hours while Virginia, with two dozen peaches under her arms, wan' dered from one end of the island to the other, tearfully seeking us. Don't you remember? Remember our many journeys to St. Xavier plays when we climbed l52l EMEMBER, Way back about a million years ago when we Ex were in the seventh grade, the picnic we gave for Mar' '! ,. . . - . k

so high in the gallery we never could hear a word and remember, oh, you must remember, the lovely compositions we wrote on them the next day? Then, who does not love to think of our trip to the Mount on Half lowe'en of our Senior year? The array of costumes, the clever little dancefpro rams, the charming hospitality of the Sisters and girls and the wonderful time we had that night! Do you remember that mornin previous to the Christmas Sale when we were delegated to buy up little toys for the children? We visited varous stores, but our quest was not fulfilled until we had trudged into that quarter of the town popularly known as 'LOver the Rhine . There we bought all we needed and turned our steps homeward, but getting our little treasures home was no small task. The baby doll was the prize urchin. Every time we struck a bump, and they were numerous, she would wail Mama like a lost soul. We giggled, people glared, and babyfdoll wailed the more. Do you remember how we limped from the bus with a sigh of relief and wended our way to the hall, where eager hands unwrapped our prizes and immediately put them on sale: Five cents a chance, three for a dime. Remember? Remember, too, the night we went to jane's, ten of us, five valises and two ukeleles in a fivefpassenger car. And oh, the lovely evening we spent there with the many clever games and beautiful prizes. And then, there was a thrilling journey to a JuniorfSenior Banquet. We shall never forget the delicious dinner, the lovely souvenirs, the beautiful program, and the hospitable spirit of the girls. Then came the twelfth of June when, at the end of our journey we were welcomed into the Alumnae of Mt. St. VincentfMt. St. joseph. All our lives, the memory of this day will inspire us to be as representaf tive of our dear Alma Mater as these our older sisters have been in the past. And now, we set out on our last journey together. Our graduation dresses, our flowers, our medals, our diplomas accompany us and this fifteenth day of June, 1926, twenty graduates journey down a winding path through iron gates, a century old, seeking the mystery of the great white road beyond.
