ww s wuz 3 :wc . :Wg i NWI: 1 mpc Q ,swag sung :Wg z l..inger O Radiant Time, thy power Hath nothing else to give. Life is complete. But let the happy present hour by hour, Itself remember and itself repeat. Summoned by sweet traditions, this hallowed spot holds us as her own today. Un- speakable memories fill our hearts. We rejoice in the very changes which make our Alma Mater like St. lVlary's of old. We find her richer by the acquisition of many fruitful yearsg more vigorous, more bountiful, her spacious halls ever growing amplerg her influence ever widening and deepening, and although some of us may not recognize many old land- marks-for even within the memory of the youngest of our number St. lVlary's has made wonderful strides,-the presence of these Sisters reassures us. As long as we are welcomed here by these changeless friends, we shall never feel like strangers within her walls no matter what magnificence they may take on, as long as they remain, there shall forever linger here for us, upon these hills and vales and around these walls, the light that never was on land or sea, -the consecration of the poet's dream. . It is a real inspiration to come back here today and find that St. lVlary's has advanced so rapidly and that progress is not incompatible with the highest ideals of womanhood, that one does not need to be a suffragette, but even may be so old-fashioned as to adhere to the German adage expressive of woman's rights, Kuche, Kirche and Kinder, and still take to heart all the lessons which this age has inherited from the masters of the past and bequeaths to us as we sit humbly at the feet of Time. Then, here's to St. lVlary's, the home of our girlhood, the pride of our womanhood,-in aqua pura let's pledge our name. EDil0Qllt The play is done,--the players take their way. Poor Chorus, of her part bereft, must say Farewell, ere all have left. I pray you for a little while, Bear me in mind and heart as I will you. I now bespeak for each of you A life of joy and happiness, Until we meet again. Ancl now, fair ladies, may God treat you well, And so I say Farewell, farewell. Our Right Reverend Bishop made the afternoon unusually pleasant by his gracious pres- ence, and addressed the assemblage in his fatherly way paying a beautiful tribute to the true woman of the convent school. At half past four, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given by the Bishop, thus closing one of the most delightful of all alumnae meetings. 48

The first was a delightfully informal gathering at the home of Mrs. Minnie Brent Anawalt, the evening being devoted mainly to the discussion of Italian art. In the second, which occurred in the month of December, Miss Mary Marzetti was hostess and entertained her guests with a programme of appropriate Christmas song and story, an espec- ially charming number being a recitation by Mrs. Gilmore, of one of the tales of her talented daughter. The third, an open meeting to which two hundred invitations were issued. was a musicale held at the home of Mrs. D. W. McGrath. All the selections were rendered by members of the Alumnae Association and were not only thoroughly enjoyable, but really fin- ished and artistic performances. The Columbus Chapter is certainly doing its share in foster- ing a spirit of comradeship and loyalty. The Alumnae Association extends its warmest felicitations to the following members who were married during the past year: Miss Edna Kearns to Mr. Ralph Edgar Moeser, Miss Louise Vance to Mr. Ralph Wheeler, Miss Florence Hudgel to Mr. Frederick Antrim Caskey, Miss Marie Brushart to Mr. Edward Russell, Miss Lucile Bishop to Mr. Joseph Baker, Miss Maybelle Murphy to Mr. John A. Alburn, Miss Anna McNulty to Mr. I-lenry Keiner, Miss Marguerite Stump to Mr. Ralph Laning, Miss Geraldine Ritson to Mr. H. Bingham Ballou, Miss Seraphine Kane to Mr. John Flanagan, Miss Dorothy Irvine to Dr. F onsa A. Lambert, Miss Elsa Eick to Mr. George Carenbauer, Miss Virginia Swearingen to Mr. Edward S. Thatcher Jr Miss Nellie Lamb to Mr. Chester Sherman, Miss Hilda Koos to Mr. Peter Lannaii and Miss Edna Shiel to Mr. Perry Christler. Congratulations are likewise offered to the following members, whose homes have been made brighter by a wee baby boy or girl, Mrs. Dolly Griffin Sherry, Mrs. Helen Lane Gar- nty, Mrs. Faye Christy Bigelow, Mrs. Florence Schilder Mutchler. We sincerely regret the deaths of two members from our circle. namely: Miss Agnes Miller of Lancaster, and Miss Mollie Magruder of Columbus. The latter was among the first pupils at the academy in Somerset and her beautiful life ro cl th h ' had been in noble and efficient hand p ve at er early training s. The annual meeting of the Association for l9l2 will be held on June, the tenth. g MARY M. Drrrois, '08, Rigs' QTY iw f T L. X fvs' f 49
