Later in the semester the refectory was gaily decorated with green and white candles and nosegays of sweet peas, violets, and carnations, when the juniors invited the Student Body to an early southern dinner. Breaking the old tradition of a dinner at the Tea House on our Patron Saints Day, we had a lovely all-day outing in the nearby meadow.

IQ A.u.nn1.ni .xzanrfamzuah-Emi' We are the studious Sophomores and we've lived up to every tradi- tion throughout this year. Do you remember the Hallowe'en party on that eerie night in Gctober? And later on the silver cup was ours for the month of January. - But the most sparkling activity of all was the parody on The Mer- chant of Venice -a witty comedy all in song . . . And again we were rewarded. This time we went challenging the waves on alaunch ride . . . what fun!! And though next year we'll be jaunty young Juniors, we'll look back to our Sophomore days with wistful memory of one of the happiest years of all, for we were neither young ladies nor little children. We were merely: Standing with reluctant feet Wluere womanhood and childhood meet. Preiidefzl 465 NANCY EDWARDS LITERARY M Y FIRST SCHOOL joAN Baawnrr-TAYLOR, '41 Often, when I look back upon my early childhood, in the days when I Hrst began creeping like snail, unwillingly to school, I think of the little school I first attended. It was not the proverbial little old schoolhouse in the valley, it was a private house, grey and gloomy to the front, gay and sunny behind, and it was kept by two sisters, the Misses Ward. The eldest Miss Ward was tall, with greying hair that flew out in curling wisps from her comb, and she did not smile very often for she was never very well. As I remember her, she dressed always in brown, with a crocheted lace shawl about her shoulders. In her childhood, she had witnessed the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. But Miss Vera-. Miss Vera was tall and thin and her face was pink and jolly. Her black hair was wound in thick braids about her head and clasped at the back with a tortoise-shell comb. When she laughed, the skin about her brown eyes crinkled up like the paper cups in a chocolate box and her whole face twinkled. She took charge of the gymnasium, and I remember well the class on Thursday afternoons, in the summer. Miss Vera, clad in black tunic, high white blouse and long black stockings, takes her place by the jumping stands and one by one the plump little boys and girls straggle over. Every now and then theirod falls off the top and there is a rush to re-erect it. And I see myself, early barred from further competition, keeping score beneath the lilac, it is warm and soothing and I forget about the score as I watch the bright Red Admiral butter- flies fluttering about the lilac, and the green pines above. Late in July the school held a garden-sale and sold the accumulated craft work of the year. The crowning delight was, of course, to serve at the candy counter, and I can still taste, in retrospect, the sticky pink and white cocoanut ice that disappeared so quickly. After the sale there was a rush for the meadow', where our long-suffering parents sat in the broiling sun while their progeny wiggled through sacks and put up umbrellas in the obstacle race, and balanced a precarious egg in the egg-and-spoon marathon, and then went up, breathlessly triumphant, for prizes. How well I remember the Christmas pageants, those familiar kindergarten plays, with their frequent hitches and minor discords! It is fun to recall the excitement of the costumes and the strange appearance of the schoolroom, half curtained off, half choked with chairs, and the little girl dressed as an eskimo who was forced to sit alone upon a chair until her entrance came, because her cotton-wool costume moulted. There was the little boy, too, who got stage-fright and muttered his lines, head down, hands stuffed in pockets, prompted with agonizing agitation from behind the scenes.

True to tradition, we had a good time, with no thoughts for the consequences. But to balance our conduct, our scholarship has been of the best. We won live gold ribbons in one month! There have been varied activities this year, our Baby Party, dinner and picnic being the most outstanding. All in all, our year has been very happy and fruitful. Pr'erider1t ni...

I wonder what has happened to them now, those two old maids, who were not, after all, so very old, and who kept up the little school so bravely in the face of the dreary difficulties that are the lot of so many superfluous spinsters. Without children themselves, they endeavored to teach the children of others the essentials of honesty, truth and beauty, and perhaps when they get to heaven, they will teach the Cherubs that were so often compared to their earthly pupils. l A RENDEZVO US MARGARET HARRISON, '40 I spoke to Him that night. . . Beneath the halo of a pallid Jtar. The earth was drenched in misty midnight hlue. I heard ity drunken mockery from afar. Hespohetome... A The crarh of .rtreamlined Jteel, the frantic dayh Of cowardr, drowned Hir rpeech . . . I heard the futile cry Of perrerution rip a trembling shy. I hirred the woundx upon Hir Sacred Feet, All hare and hleeding. . . It reemr a Jilver tear had lost its course Without my heeding. THE APOSTA TE MARGARET HARRISON, '40 He saw the tall spires of a cathedral glimmer in the solemn night. He stood . . . cold . . . dirty . . . vile, an object of scorn to the world that passed by. He was hlled with a loathing disgust of all humanity, yet at the sight of the cathedral, a certain feeling of awe and trembling respect made him walk on . . . on to the Tabernacle of God, a God, Whom he had cursed for an eternity of years. He remembered Sunday School when he was a little boy 5 how he had hated it and dreaded the day when he must don a clean shirt, and listen to a lot of words which he could not possibly understand and never tried to. Then, he entered the Church. Not one person turned around to stare at him with cold calculating eyes, mocking eyes which he could gladly have poked out with hot cinders. The attention of everyone seemed to be held by something else, something mysterious and wonderful that drifted from the altar. He knelt, he raised his eyes with burning supplication, and falling on his face, with emotion, he gasped the words, My God, My God, why have you forsaken me ? MY NEW STRAW HAT NANCY LITTLE JOHN, '4o Its brim was not the kind of brim you see just anywhere, The very crown and bow on top partook its jaunty air. The ru piled band of -ribbon wound throughout the straw, And the brightly colored trimmings simply filled my gaze with awe. The price of twenty shillings would place it on my head- And after thought and hesitance- Buy it! , my conscience said. About the street the people stared and gazed upon my hat, Exclaiming rather rudely, Now what DO you think of that? The wind was blowing blustily, it really wasn't right, That at the very moment my hat should take to flight! I clutched the air abstractedl y and called aloud for aid, The passersby ran wildly and a thorough search was made. But 'though we looked most carefully in every nook and bower, My little hat could not be found, not even one bright flower. I sadly gave the matter up and walked about for days To see if just by one small chance my hat this earth had graz'd. A lovely bird with fluted wings flew blithel y into sight, And way up in a foliaged tree he stopped to end his flight. I looked above-and there it was, the straw draped 'round the bough The ribbons .held the birdies in-I saw it clearly now . . . Its brim was not the kind of brim you see just anywhere, The very crown and bow on top partook its jaunty air. The rujjzled band of ribbon wound throughout the straw, And the brightly colored trimmings simply filled my gaze with awe. RICH? SUZANNE KINCAID, y4I Rich? Yes, they're rich- Poor? Yes, they're poor. For do you call those rich Whose only love is gold? Whose only thought is of themselves? I call them poor. No love, no life, No loving word or kind caress Is from them given. Why be rich? Why, if you can give so little? IWalth is not all. Be poor and love, and Give with all your heart. Be poor. THE PRODIGALKY PRAYER MARGARET HARRISON, '40 Dear God, I know your face so well, It's like a veil of light.: I tfs sad and yet it's beautiful, For sometimes in the night, When all the world is drenched in dreams, Wherz all the velvet sky Is wrapped in fragile moonmist, I Hear Mu pass me by. I know Your step, I love it,' it's like A mystic hush, Above the tortured cries of men, Above their vile rush. Oh God, I want to call Eu, but my Lips are parched with hate. I've laughed, I've loved too freely, I Know that it's too late. And yet each nightl hear You pass, Your footsteps haunt my brain. M y chilled and trembling body feels A cold and piercing pain. And when the dawn with golden claws, Comes tearing out my heart. It finds an old and broken chord That's crumbling apart. LIEE IS SERIOUS BARBARA TOMS, '40 I slept in darkness knowing naught of light, Yet dreamt in slumberin g sim pleness of day ,' I thought the world a stage and life a play, A farce, a mockery, a silly sight That blithel y turns the world from day to night To this sham reality, falling prey, Dramatically man acts his life away,' So thought I, youthful dreamer, without light. But know that sleep forever cannot be, And from this reverie of bliss I rose To learn that though death lets the curtain fall, It does not end my comic tragedy- Oh no! Life's mummer plays a sterner pose, And strives for more than any curtain call. CHINA TO WN MARJORIE BEHNEMAN, '41 I picked my way along the cluttered, narrow sidewalk, and nodded to the grinning slant-eyed children who were grouped about, sucking dripping pink peppermints and candied crab-apples on sticks. The vegetable and fruit mer- chants loudly battered their wares, weaving up the street among the shiny honk- ing automobiles and trucks. A parrot chattered Chinese nonsense from a rusty balcony above, and chickens screamed from a poultry shop across the street. Somewhere near me I could hear, faintly, the squeaky notes of an oriental string instrument and a sing-song, quavering voice. It was especially gay in Chinatown, for tomorrow began the great three day festival of Chinese New Year. There were printed banners flying, and long colored streamers hung from shop to shop, shouting good wishes in strange black characters. Suddenly there appeared before me a shiny pigtail and a smeared yellow face, pleading for a coin, in recompense for a wobbly, striped snake which was thrust toward me in a sticky hand. A wrinkled old man limped along, peddling his woven straw baskets. I paused before a shop window, bulging with a varied assortment. There were red lacquered boxes and daintily carved ivory horses on delicate teakwood stands, Chinese goddesses and tiny grinning Buddhas peered out at me from behind painted bamboo fans and exquisite, spun gold charms. Beautiful silk coats and kimonos hung there, artfully embroidered in gorgeous colors with minute matching slippers or warm white fur ones. As I stepped inside the shop, a glass ornament tinkled from nowhere, announcing me, and the odors of strange scented perfumes and pungent oriental incense filled my nostrils. An ancient, grizzled little person shuffled out to me, offering her humble service, oddly indifferent to my queries. There were more things in here: heavy tea pots, and cups without handles, transparent blue and white china and lovely carved jade and hyacinth bulbs and bright yellow daffodils. The withered old woman shuffled away again when she saw that I was just another sightseer, andI strolled out and farther along the noisy street. There were bright red firecrackers everywhere. The bursting and popping was incessant while the children laughed and danced and ran with their fingers in their ears. A crowd of chattering people were clustered around a huge corner window. I peeked and saw a whole roast pig hanging there by its curly tail, a round red apple in its mouth. The crackling skin was crisp and brown and I thought of the old Chinese legend about the origin of roast pig. There were fish, too, and pickled eels and sad, pinkgeyed pigeons in wire cages. The other side of the window displayed candied pineapples and orange peels and white-coated coconut. Sticky jugs of ginger, oozing with sugar, were surrounded by withered brown litchi nuts and a multitude of nameless Chinese delicacies. Across the Above all these opportunities, there is one that affords paramount advantage. The girl at Dominican knows a great hall where shelves upon shelves of bright books, tables of magazines and glass cases in which ponderous parchment hymn books, decorated with illuminated flourishes and quaint pictures, await her eager eyes. Meanwhile the statue of St. Thomas, the frrst detail of the Guzman library to meet the gaze as one enters, looks benignly down over his domain of quiet. Light and peace fill the place from wall to wall, and the vista of tall eucalyptus trees is harmoniously framed in the high windows. The simplicity of the room is what brings home the wealth of knowledge stored in it. It is truly a place of adventureg its stillness is redolent with the romance of book-lore. Here is reflected every branch of culture. If we are not satisfied with a surface familiarity with the plain-chant we sing daily, there are here abundant means of forming a life- long intimacy with it or with any other path of knowledge we care to explore. All that the culture of the Church has given to the world, all that has resulted from the inspiration of Christianity, and more, besides, can be found here in that very atmosphere which provided the inspiration. As time goes on, one feels ever more that Dominican has before it the future of a great cultural center, perhaps like those medieval abbeys where education met the creative arts halfway and resulted in true culture. And if I, in my short stay here,-have refused any of the gifts of these surroundings, please God I shall not do so in the future!

THE MEANING OE TRUE CULTURE CvrvraiaSoxoa1N, 'ao Culture is unselfconsciousg it is unobtrusive and yet familiar. Like all things immediately under one's nose, one misses it until it is brought directly to the attention. I can hardly think of anything more difficult to dehne than this word which embraces all the fair pleasaunce of knowledge. It needs not the embellishment of educationg rather it is the appreciation of man's own works, of the flowering of his talents, that is culture. Any savage can admire the loveliness of a country landscape on a spring morning, but it takes something more to realize the harmony of light and line in that same landscape on a canvas. Culture is a ready reception of the spiritual complexities that are the foundation of art. It is not always the blase creature who wanders about the museums and art galleries with a pince-nez delicately balanced on his skyward- pointing nose that represents the true cultureg acquaintance with the fine arts is nevertheless implicit in their appreciation-surely education in the full sense has this acquaintance for one of its aims! Thus, education as the medium in which the innate love of beauty is developed, is the complement of cultureg but that innate quality must be present, and if it is not, no book-learning will ever instill it. Culture is not possessive. It implies no tangible acquisition. For beauty can- not be ownedg one may only live with it, and know and respond to it. It merely needs an environment in which the old and the new, the natural and the artistic can mingle and complement each other. How invaluable, in comparison, is that formal education which consists in surrounding youth with beauty and simul- taneously stimulating his attention and curiosity toward all the finest fruit of the human intellect! Monasteries and convents have always, whenever possible, followed out this ideal-and here at Dominican there is no dearth of possibilities. The newcomer notes, perhaps with indifference at first, the fine reproductions of famous paintings that, as time goes on, become familiar friends. Teachers and courses invite her to observe every detail of these landmarks of Dominican, and when she finally leaves school, she realizes that the members of the Arundel Society by whose farsighted devotion to the cause of beauty, many of the loveliest of renaissance paintings in effigy adorn these California walls, may rest in peace, having achieved the purpose of their labors. Lucca della Robbia may share like laurels, for here and there are exquisite copies of his plaques hanging over many a doorway and raising hearts and minds to the subjects they so simply and delicately portray. Moreover, the girl cannot pass untouched by the beauty of Catholic liturgyg she worships before an exquisite altar, and prays to the accom- paniment of ancient plain-chant. All in all, whether she knows it or not she has fallen heir to the incomparably rich heritage of the liturgy. street a large sign advertised rice and pork and Egg Foo Yung. Nearby was a modern movie house with multi-colored Posters of beautiful Chinese dancing girls. The noise and shouting seemed to increase as the jabbering Chinamen gath- ered in the street from all directions, jubilant and happy, for tomorrow was New Year's Day. I continued to pick my way along the cluttered narrow side- walk, fascinated by this perfect bit of old China.

Fascinated, I picked it up and found it lighter than the curling froth that fringed the ocean waves. For years it has been tossed about with that foam and spray, ruled by the whim of a sea breeze or the run of a current, and now it lay at my feet, a thing without life or beauty, but to me an object of fascination. Driftwoodg well had it been named, for it was the gypsy of the inanimate world, a wanderer, a Vagabond, ragged and battered, but with a past, a story, and a glamour that weaves the thread of adventure into the pattern of life. White wood, bleached by water that had assailed the Rock of Gibraltar to no avail or lapped the dreamlike shores of Bali, it still bore all the birthmarks of its youth, a tree branch. A little knob from which a twig had once sprung, almost erased evidence of bark, ,the jagged edges that told the story of a bough severed from the trunk-all these made clear the nature of my little piece of wood. They spoke lucidly of a tree and a branch that had once been green and proud and upright, a noble work of God. And yet, here it was, good for nothing more but to add its characteristic colors to our fires. Nature repeats itself over and over again . . . for how like is the history of this wood to that of a man who sees the world but is defeated by it! Worn and bleached with sadness and futility, a tramp is worth nothing to us but the color he adds to our lives. We can see what he has been, we sense his air of mystery, and if we care to throw him into the fire of our conversation, he adds to it a color that the ordinary logs of our existence could never give. How sad and battered this little piece of driftwood and yet how bright it will burn! CLOUD BABIES PATRICIA MACK, '40 The clouds flee From the hoisterous winds, Who, with malicious glee Ttztters their shirts And pulls their hair, Until like frightened children, They hitle hehind ni ght's win gs, And with anxious eyes peer out Lihe little grey ghosts. ACTIVITIES STUDENT GOVERNMENT if ,S STUDENT COUNCIL Student government at Dominican is vested in the triple combination of Student Body officers, Student Council and proctors. These, as elective representatives of the school at large, consult with the faculty in all the affairs of school life. The Student Council meets once a month just preceding the regular meetings of the Student Body, to consider problems, and to suggest new regula- tions. The proctors are Seniors, elected monthly by the whole school. Each is responsible for a group of girls towards whom she acts as counsellor, friend and guide. The proctors meet weekly. A week-end at Bolinas is the special privilege of the proctors and this year there was added a week-end skiing in Yosemite. lt is the keen an- ticipation of every new girl, and the happy memory of old ones, to wear the proctor pin during her Senior year.

Later in the year various scenes from Shakespeare were given, with a background of blossoming trees, and spotlighted by a full moon. The final program of the year was the all- school May Pageant, in which the dramatics class captured all the leading roles, and presented an afternoon's entertainment offine quality in a setting of rare beauty-the pink and white hawthorne trees in full bloom.
