The ivy has turned to dust but the tradition of the ivy chain lies vibrant within our hearts, palpitating with life, crying out our love to our Lady of Good Counsel and to the college around which she throws such a lovely, celestial light.

We entertained the Freshmen during the first week of Class and we were thus given the opportunity and privilege to welcome them as our sisters to Good Counsel. Activities rapidly ensuedg the orchestra again counted among its members many Juniorsg Juniors took an active part in the I. C. L. C. Barbara Semple and Florence Doyle, both of the Class of'36 were chosen for the debate between Good Counsel and Oxford University and successfully upheld their college against that celebrated university. We were made very happy when we received our college ring in November of this yearg this is a day which will be indelibly etched upon our memory. The year passed on and again we found ourselves surrounded by Commencement activities. The Juniors gave a banquet to the graduating class. As the departing Seniors bequeathed to us the Main Stairway in Preston Hall and the Pine Walk, and as we gazed upon the other impressive ceremonies of Class Day, the realization suddenly came that within a very short time we, too, must bid adieu to all that we have held so dear. FLORENCE JONES, '36 JUNIOR CLASS POEM The caravan still weaves its way Through narrow mountain gaps, Its journey has not brought mishap We feel there shall be no dismay. For every heart is staunch, sincere E'er sinee we long ago began, And now, we've almost bridged the All this, the end of our third year. Thus we may trust that when -fa span Our footsteps follow those we love- Who leave us now-who wove Their way before us,' again We say we must all trust that we May jill their places high To be as fondly cherished by The ones to come in years to be. The hearts of all are slowed With fear at what may come, Of what may be beyond the sun, Beyond the next turn in the road. The hearts of all beat highly too, The end is almost near, But then, the greatest chanee so clear Is with us yet, still to pursue. BARBARA SEMPLE, '36 9

How could we help but open our hearts to Alma Mater when she had sent out as her emissaries, to greet us, the sweet forces of nature, to say nothing of the graciousness of her Faculty and her daughters the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors? During the first two weeks we became acquainted with the upper classmen who were eager to inform us of the traditions of our college. Bright October, while shaking out her golden tresses, brought to us beautiful gifts, retreat and investiture. Hence, our souls, too, were Hlled with the spiritual sweetness which comes from knowing Christ. We were invested by His Excellency, Bishop Kearney, and our hearts were indeed made glad by the fact that at last we truly 'Kbelongedf' Christmas was celebrated with all its mystical glory and joy and glad carols echoed through the halls as the students sat at the Faculty banquet and later prayed at Benediction in the Chapel. Almost immediately we began to participate in extra- curricular activities. Many of us joined the orchestra and glee club, a splendid debate was held between two freshmen teams on May Ninth, and we displayed a marked interest in athletics. Thus ,36 advanced and learned the strength and courage of Our Lady's Gracef' SOPHOMORE YEAR ONDS of friendship and love struck harmonious chords, we followed the melody and in the golden glow of another September, ,36 found itself back within the portals of a patient Alma Mater. New interests and new hopes spread out before us. Early in the year we gave a barn dance for the Missions which we considered a success, both financially and socially. The oratorical ability of the Sophomores was well represented by Marie Eckert who was one of the speakers in the Good Counsel- Mt. St. Vincent debate. We also had a representative on the Preftonian Staff. Our intellectual and spiritual faculties increased, exams came and wentg vacations approached and then faded away. Lent brought its pictures of an agonized Christ and as we knelt in the Chapel beneath the shadow of His Cross and the circle of His Crown of Thorns, '36 blessed its Alma Mater that she had taught us to know our Creator so well. 89 -w X-r 2.
