ur Ti 5111111 6 I FAINT, LOW MURMUR, RISING AND FALLING ON THE ' WIND. NOW IT COMES ROLLING IN UPON ME WAVE AFTER WAVE OF SWEET, SOLEMN MUSIC. THERE WAS A GRAND ORGAN SWELL: AND NOW IT DIES AWAY AS INTO THE INFINITE DISTANCE: BUT I STILL HEAR IT-WHETHER WITH EAR OR SPIRIT I KNOW NOTGTHE VERY GHOST OF SOUND .... IT IS THE VOICE OF THE PINES YONDER-A SORT OF MORNING SONG OF PRAISE TO THE GIVER OF LIFE AND MAKER OF BEAUTY.

.-I group from the class of 19-10. NX ith April approaching. the Lenten play hecame the next calendar event. lt was The Second Cluuzee and the Juniors comprised a large part of the cast. Also in keeping with the season were the Lenten sermons delivered each Friday by the Reverend Morgan J. tTBrien. The Easter vacation arrived. the magnolias hloomcd and the dogwood and rhododen- drons around Our Ladyis Shrine made an exquisite scene. Wie returned from the holidays and counted the days that remained until graduation. A meeting ofthe Science Hound 'liahle was held at Good Counsel. On that occasion a valuable lecture was given hy the Reverend joseph Lynch. SJ.. of Fordham University. The following week Dr. Ross Hoffman. also of Fordham, visited our college and addressed us on the topic of the Li. N. U. Suddenly the excitement of the week of final examinations loomed up hefore us. Attendant upon it. however. was the enjoyment of final cluh parties. Meanwhile we still practiced Emitte Spiritum Tuumn and The Pilgrimis Chorus for the graduation exercises. ln spite of threats the weather was clear for pine walk ceremony and we heeame seniors as we received our lighted candles from those in the departing class. rllllls ceremony and the junior-senior hanquct were happy occasions for us hut they were also tinged with sorrow, for as we hade farewell to another senior class, we realized that just a year from then we would say adieu to our college days. Happily, though, we looked to our senior year. and amid the tolling of our chapel hells. we uttered a sincere prayer that Cod would make us worthy of performing our duty as seniors-of upholding tht- high ideals of Good Counsel College. 28
