So 'tis with our castle of virtue and wisdom . We graduates have selected it to represent the foundation of all the power we hope to attaing our wealth will not be measured by material gains but by its face value as a benefit to ourselves and society at large. The barriers guarding this treasure of knowledge and integrity are removed only by the fruit of an honest toil of four years. The crowning point of these endeavors comes at graduation. The goal has then been reached, but recognition of attainment is not the sole end. The influence of our castle of virtue and wisdom will be far reaching and lasting. It will serve as the torch of inspiration in the later years, and though the world seems dark and dreary, we will labor with optimism, faith and hope, for service is the high road to success .

Page Sixteen ' 1 77 Looking Backward Oh! fleeting time, it seems but yesterday that our high school career began and today you demand the harvest of our first year. Yes, we recall those hapy moments as in procession to the tune of a high school curri- culum they march anew, and these precious minutes we return used prudently in absorbing the finer things of life. Oh! happy thoughts, you shall always linger in the depths of our hearts. As time draws nigh we must hasten likewise to pay our tribute to the self-sacrifices of oureause, the teachers. Our gratitude prompts us to say: We are grateful for your unstinted ardor bending your only efforts to lifeis greatest field that is the em2bellishmcnt of soul and mind. VVc appreciate your guiding influence and instructions which slowly be- came part of ourselves. VVe present the most sincere thanks for the aid You have given us in this important undertaking of building the foun- dation of our moral life upon which our entire future depends. So speaks our heart moved deeply by gratitude. Yet, we remain mute as we pass your portals, perhaps never to meet again. We trust our silence will speak these things for us and we beg that you accept this silent tribute as a token of our most sincere appreciation. Clara Ziemba '34 T0 OUR MOTHER To Thee our Mother so Dear, VVc conseerate this entire year, Begging Thy Blessings true, And protection under Thy mantle blue. Oh, Thou beloved Mother of ours, Do always with us share, All sufferings and sorrows, And never leave us from Thy care.

Koller Treasurer .............................. Evelyn T. Blaski September eighth perhaps is the most memorable day for us Freshmen of G. C., because it' is the day upon which our life laid the dividing line between our child- hood and youth. Oh, what joy! as our fate pronounced us the fortunate and permit- ted us to continue our greatly desired education in G. C. What gratitude must be ours, when we consider that the most precious honor is bestowed upon us, namely that of a Catholic High School Education. Thus, filled with enthusiasm we have fought against the shadows and darkness of life which, like clouds temporarily blind the rays of the beacon, as we slip through the rougher parts of sea. The knowledge of true seamanship impaired in our 'studies prepared us thor- oughly to encounter the difficulties of school life. The first year in general, brought us in contact with a number of new subjects and their rules and principles, yet bold- ly have we steered our ship against these. Our interest did not lag nor did we neg- lect the various sports and pleasures of our school career. Soon we were at the exit of our Freshmen career, but before we could leave we naturally had to meet the Examination Monster and uncertain of the results of this attack there remained but one thing to do, that is to persevere in the efforts and en- thusiasm of beginners. NVe greatly appreciated the different programs and entertainments sponsored by G. C's. stand-bys and their joint effort induced us to greater co-operation. Though only small in number through the effort of our Moderator we have or- ganized a club the ever Loyal Frosh to strengthen the bonds of friendship. lt is here that our cheris-hed ideals and motto were begotten. The Loyal Frosh pa- tronizes all sports in the field of Athletics and divides its interest in other school establishments. - Clara Ziemba, '34.

But my dress is very flimsy and your warmth might singe my wings, I think it much the wiser to beware of your bright things. But now you're very near me and no harm has come to you If you come a little closer you shall have a better view, Y'ou'll see my golden coffers and my stores of envied wealth And you'll enjoy living and long years of endless health, Not so, I saw my sister moth, fly in to your arms so bright And now in vain we look for her with all our main and might. You haven't searched the right place, dear, she's sound asleep in bed, Within my tranquil domain, fairies pillow soft her head, Just take a litftle glance now, your reward shall not be vain, Then you'll return tomorrow and be glad to look again. No. Mother Moth awaits me just a stone's throw from your door, I promised her I'd NEVER tread upon your golden floor. Dear little Moth, you're prudent and you have a mother wise I'm glad you don t want singey wings like other naughty flies, Go, Love, and bring your mother then you'll see that what I say Is full of truth and kindness, moths fly to my arms each day. O do they? said the weakening moth, I'll go for mother, then, First let me ask 1ny sister if she's happy in your den. She took one step, another, then she flapped her gauzy wings The flame lit up her flimsy dress and scorched her snow white things, Their beauty gone, she fell into a black and ugly heap, And the little moth paid dearly for her vain, imprudent peep. 0, be not, little lfambkins like this wavering little moth For she though warned, and wary in an evil hour was caught. There is a Flame, a Living One, wherein you're safe to bask An Open Heart, a wounded Heart, His N-ame you need not ask The closer to His love you live, the worthier your life. O, little lambkins, frisk about God's Feet and shun all flame That is not kindled in His Heart and does not bear His Name. s. M.

We all have played our important roles on the stage of our Sophomore year quite successfully. Some of our scenes of this long act were very comical, while others were exciting and tragicg nevertheless, we all tried to perform our respective parts cheerfully and conscientiously. Upon the first presentation, we began with hard work, such as - debating, class speeches and dramatizations of all kind. We also undertook two new subjects, French and Geometry, and when this began we took upon ourselves the realization that we were truly, Sophomores, and that a great task was awaiting us. Majority ofl us joined the Dramatic and Glee Clubs, in which we displayed our skill as talented actors and famous singers. We all aimed at successg thus, we fitting- ly prepared ourselves for the following important act, Junior year. And now, as the close of the last scene approaches, we all are eagerly looking forth to our tgreatl Junior act, which we hope will be a greater success, than that which we have already performed.

Mary tlalas Only two years ago we, the Sophomores of 1931, were admitted to Good Counsel, full of zeal ami ambition to expand the little knowledge we brought with ourselves, from the eight years, in the lilementary Sehool. The beginning of the school year was overerowded with aetivitiesg the most worthy of whieh was the initiation. After horrors, tortures ami eountless humiliations, we had been admitted as full pledged Freshmen. Daily we endeavored to develop our minds and bodies. After zealous labor, we whole-heartedly weleomed vaeation with its ease and merriment. NVith the advent of the year 1931, we resumed our studies, refreshed and ener- getie under the new title and honor of Sophomores. A elass elub was organized known as the Sophomore Star Club. The Blessed Mother of Lourdes was chosen as our Patroness, t'he lily of the valley, our elass flower ami blue and gold as our eolors. We selected Let us be known by our deeds for the elass motto. Sports and entertainments diverted our minds from the daily routine of school life and added to the enjoyment of the Sophomore year. The days sped rapidly on the Wings of Time, and our year was at a close. XVe hope that in September of this year our entire elass will return to dear Alma Mater, ready to turn a new page in the book of our sehool life, namely, JUN- IORSHIP. Helen Ryba, '33.

I place my hope and trust in Thee, Grant, that all danger I may see. I humbly ask You, Virgin Pure, To guide me with a step so sure, In little things to own no will, From sin and harm preserve me still. Though storms and tempests are not few, Let me remain sublime and true. Forsake me not a child forlorn, Who daily for -all wrongs does mourn. Receive my prayer, 0 Mother Dear, Which though short is sincere. Allow me under Thy mantle blue To start a new life, honest and true. Stella Wierzbowska '31 LILY OF THE VALLEY Lily of the valley, thou sweetest flower, Clinging meekly beneath our bower, Showing thy beauty for us all to see, For as a class-flower, we have chosen thee. Your bell shaped flowers so pure and so white Tell us to be sincere, kind and polite, Thou art so innocent, simple and pure, As no other flower we are most sure. Lily of the valley, flower of our choice, Teach us thy sweet lessons witho-ut a voice, To keep our souls always undefiled, And be ever onward our continuous light. When through life's journey we wander, And many dangers encounter, A thought of you, our lily dear, Prompts us to the end to persevere. Frances Marciniak '33 Page Twenty-sim 'xml l2ffUlteCoUNsrfLo1L,1931gg5 if at .,', Mary, Our Mother The heart of every child feels the need of a mother to direct and protect it on its journey of lifeg and God Who has created that heart and knows its needs has given ns a mother in the person of Mary. Jesus, in His 'last hours of agony on the Cross, confirmed our claims upon Mary by the words addressed to His sorrowful Mother, Woman, behold thy son and to His beloved disciple John, Behold thy Mother. From that blessed moment, Mary's heart was filled with a maternal love for mankind, as St. John unmistakably represented all the faithful. Thus, Mary be- came our most tender, loving Mother and the dispensor of the infinite merits of the passion and death of our Savior. Every child of Mary feels her tender compassion. She is a refuge, a consoler in affliction and a guide to sanctity. Through her intercession, success is attained in study and labor, for her wisdom banishes the darkness of the intellect. Mary otlten works in secret, even without our interior knowledge. ln times of danger, in the midst of temptations, she spreads her mantle over her child to guard and protect it. When the slightest offering is made, she lavishly imparts most precious graces and blessings. Mary is our guide to sanctity for in her we find an accomplished model of virtue and perfection. Her implicit obedience, constant prayer and, glowing love for God and neighbor are but few of the virtues which we must endeavor to imitate. Following the footsteps of Mary, no child has ever gone astray, for as the holy Doctor, St. Bernard says, When you pray to her, you will not despairg when you think of her, you will make no mistake, when she holds you, you will not fall, when she protects you, you need not fear, under' her guidance, you will not grow weary, under her favor, you will arrive at your journey's end in the harbor of safety. We, the students of G. C. cannot fully appreciate the privilege of having Our Lady of Good Counsel as our Patroness. At her feet we gather, at every possible opportunity, to greet Our Counselor with songs and prayers and return with light and cheerful hearts. Her outstretched arms and sweet, motherly smile seem to say, UCOIIIC to Me my daughters. Susan Miotke, '31. Page Twenty-eight THE IDEAL CATHOLIC GIRL The Ideal Catholic Girl - what an inspiring thought. What a beautiful picture we see before us of a girl who is pious, loving, generous, modest resolute and yet has a sense of humor. Her twofold motive, next to salvation, is making those around her happy and performing good deeds. She greets everyone with a smile and is never mournful and gloomy. People respect and admire her, because she keeps her troubles and trials to herself. She is generosity itself, always ready to help those in need never refusing any request, even if she has to sacrifice her own comfort or pleasure. What an eternal reward she will receive, for our Divine Master has said: What you have done to the least of my brethren, you have done to Me. Her modesty and delicacy of conscience are to be envied. She does not use rude, vulgar expressions, so degrading to a refined young girl. She never indulges in those pleasures and attractions which could eventually lead into sin. Such a girl has a deep sense of piety and greatly reveres holy names andi things. An ideal young lady is considerate and thoughtful of her elders and superiors. She treats them with extreme respect, courtesy and politeness, and is ever attentive to their wants. She is quick-witted and has a ready laugh. She sees the humorous side of in- cidents and thus saves many trying' situations by a smile or word. Of course, she is not without her faults. No one is perfect except He Who reigns supreme in heaven. She is a normal, happy girl, but sets before herself a model of perfection on which she bases herself and towards which she is constantly striving. Eugenia Ziemba, '33. THE HIGH SCHOOL OF MY DREAMS Being fatigued, yes, utterly exhausted after vainly endeavoring to see the point in an experiment in genera-l science, I dragged myself across the hall, clasping and wringing my hands as I went, seeing no one in the library, there I betook myself. A comfortable chair was near and into this I sank wearily. That terrible laboratory period had made me desperate. A Several students passed by the library as I sat thereg their faces were deeply lined, showing the great trials and persecutions they had undergone, and the suffer- ings they were still endu-ring. As I sat thinking about our troubles, I shut my eyes that I might not see those horrid rows of books, my head sankf lower and lower - I was asleep - asleep in the great halls of G. C. I dreamed of G. C. High School. The institution was an ideal one! Instead of water, ice cold lemonade was obtained at the drinking fountains in warm weather, and chocolate tjust rightl gushed forth on cold days. Refreshments were served at any hou-1' in the lower halls, and as no restrictions were placed on our leaving the assembly hall, we came and went as we wished. The Sisters, oh such Sisters! They never knew what it was to reprove, call attention to disorder, or come upon some active member of the class when he least expected it. On the contrary, as the students laughed and whispered, Sister smiled encouragingly, nodding her head in approval. No clanging, clashing bells announced the end of the period. Instead, the re- spective Sisters entered the assembly room, addressed each individual and asked him to please adjourn to his class, as it was time for the recitation to begin. In class the boys discussed gymnastics, foot-ball, and other things which are so dear to a boy's heartg while the girls commented upon the latest fashions and social functions - a subject never completely exhausted by the fair element. The kind, pleasant looking Sisters passed to and fro, and if, perchance, one pupil was talking a little louder than the rest, he would receive an encouraging pat, and a larger piece of clandy, wgich these Sisters tof my dreamsl we-re passing around liberally during t e perio .

At one end of the hall was a rest room, as we were reclining in the large easy chairs, discussing interesting' topics of the day, one of the most pleasant Sisters entered to tell us the period was over. - Ye Fates - l am awake, and, - What, you here dreaming when you should be in the study hall?

And as l marched 'before Sister, back into the study hall, I sighed for the future when perhaps they will force every high school to he like The High School of My Drcainsf' Mary Baldys, '33. AMBITION'S REWARD lt was on a sweet, balmy morning in August, when Mary Gibbons sat with her mother on the hack porch discussing her future career. Mary was a tall, slender girl. From beneath her dark, curly hair, a pair of honest blue eyes always in a twinkle looked ahead. Her nose was short and stubby, and her large mouth was always wreathed with smiles. She walked a quick, lively step, and seemed to be continually on the alert. Mary was happy and excited for this was to be her first day at high school. Although not very fond of studies, she was happy for she was to make acquaintances with many new friends. Then- too, she had resolved to study earnestly and become the pride and joy of her invalid mother whose one great desire was to see Mary complete a High School Course with honors, like other girls of the neighborhood. The week of serious classes began. She knew well, that although merry and mischievous, now she would have to become more virtuous and ambitious. However, it was a hard task, for her from the very beginning, still the' child displayed great effort, although she was not endowed by nature with every intellectual ability. She had confidence that with the aid of the Almighty, she would accomplish great things to please her poor invalid mother. Thus, she chose the Blessed Mother as a model and endeavored to become like unto Her. The first year flew along swiftly. She found no difficulty at all, once she had started. She had passed her examinations successfully which was an encourage- ment to her in the studies of the coming year. How often she wondered: Will I ever be a success. Sophomore year! This made her feel a little dignified, for of course, she would have 'to be a model for the Freshmen. The subjects were a little more difficult, nevertheless, she did not complain, but studied diligently and with great efforts, for Mary wanted to fulfill her mother's desire. M'ary's daily good reports brought joy to the heart of her mother. Her face no longer showed signs of weariness, but on the contrary was always cheerful and smiling. Mary knew why. It was her improvement that impressed her mother, and for which she fervently thanked the Blessed Mother. The young girl was so content, that it did not seem long when the third year of high school drew 'to an end. Slowly but surely, she was reaching her goal, never doubting that she would soon be near the last milestone on the road to knowledge. During the Senior year, she boldly traversed the path of difficulties never stop- ping to dwell in discouragement but bearing all patiently. The day of her commence- ment approached. Graduation! what a consoling idea for Mary and her mother, but what joy was hers when she was awarded the highest honor-s among the grad- uates. Mary is a picture to many who bravely face adversities of life. She was blessed a hundredfold for her efforts and above all because she sought aid from her beloved patroness and heavenly Mother, the Blessed Virgin. Well was she repaid in her de- votion. Easily did she bear all, for the love of the One Who is the Mother of God. Unto Jesus, through Mary. Undoubtedly, not only in education -and character development did Mary progress, but above all, she became dearer and dearer to Je- sus. Loretta Motzna, '33.

The two previous years have shown to us the value and necessity of education for man, in order to achieve his goal in the world. They urged us to strive and work more seriously. Thus disposed, we began our .lunior year. XVe were not shirkers and began our studies with enthusiasm and patient industry. Besides our regular interesting class work. wc were engaged diligently in curricular achievements as projects in English, Latin and French. The examinations proved to us that all the efforts that we put forth were not transient, but shall remain and live with us in the future. But we have not only succeeded intellectually and brought honor to Good Coun- sel in that line but in the Social a11d Athletic Fields as well. , I young ladies, Among other activities the most successful was the Hard-Time l'arty.' Many of us had an opportunity to display our talent in acting. singing. playing. rv I etc.. by taking active parts in various organizations as: Glee, Dramatic. Iep and G. C. Clubs. of which we were members. XVc also were a helping hand in the publica- tion of the Counselia which we will strive to raise to its highest standards. At the close of the year came the Farewell Party, our last tribute to the Sen- iors. in which the whole school cooperated. Thus ended our dear .lunior year with happiness, peace, honor and success which we owe to the kindness. guidance and love of our Teachers and other friends about us. The year has passed, but not the sweet memories which shall re-echo as distant chimes in our hearts. NVe eagerly look florward to our next W last year when we shall meet again, not as .luniors but as Seniors with the hope of acquiring greater success.

A TRIBUTE T0 THE SENIORS Only a short period of time and we shall be called to say one deeply felt word - FAREVVELL! This will not be an easy task, for it is to those we love, respect and honor, Our Dear Seniors. However, when we look at life seriously, do we not know farewells must come in life? Yes, and most of us had already felt the pangs of a sorrowful parting. But we also know that the parting, be it short or long, or perhaps for lifetime, is not a parting forever. Let us then open our hearts to the consoling thoughts, that one day we will meet in our abode of joy that knows no discomfort. We extend ou-r sincerest thanks to the Class of '31 for their incessant labor for the welfare of the school, for their leadership and many a good example. Since the aim of the majority is to attain perfection in Sisterhood, we heartily congratulate them on their great privilege of the Divine Call, and wish them success and perseverance. To those remaining, who, undoubt- edly will follow their own vocation, we wish the grace of God and the best of luck in all their undertakings. Mary Padlo '32 Wanda Stefanik '32 LET'S GO!! Juniors, Juniors let's haste For we have no time to waste, Our bus will speed on As soon as our packing is done. Pack up your notes and books, And keep them away from crooks, For we must acknowledge That they contain all knowledge. The road is clear and the way long, VVe shall soon sing a farewell song, To the good Old Junior days, All of them spent in joyful ways. The Junior days have passed away, Our work we ought not delay, But earnestly get to it now And our Senior year enjoy and how! Gertrude Zielinska '32 Page Thirty-four AN ODE TO A BLOTTER Did you ever stop to think, Of all the drops of ink A blotter can contain? And yet it must refrain From disclosing e'en a mite Of what its user might write. It is indeed a surprise What one does confide, To a blotter of any size. You can rest assured Though it may be lured. It keeps your secrets all- Petty, serious, big and small. So think it over, and you'll agree How significant a blotter can be! Mary Leszczynska '32 REMIN ISCEN CES Delightful memories are connected with our beloved G. C., which we are about to leave forever. All our associations, and moments spent here, although -occasionally meaning'ess and vague, have been pleasant, sweet and exceedingly charming. Those trips full of pleasure into the fields and the nearby woods. where we breathed the clearandfreshairsatiatedwith the fragrance of flowers, and where the meadows and fields have been an inspiration to us. Each season brought new and diverse surprises, de- lights and amusements which cast into oblivion the darker sides of our school life. T i i i W How successfully our life sped on the fleeting wings of time! O, how many varied impressions, how many ardent and holy feelings and emo- tions, bow many noble endeavors are recorded on the pages of our life at G. C. Time has outrun all this. These days are gone, never to return .... We have been prepared to face life: we have been prepared for indi- vidual labors, and now are told to bid farewell and withdraw from the portals of the school, in order to make place for our successors. We are about to start life in this broad world, but we have the consolation that we are not leaving empty handed, on the contrary. we are stepping into this new life full of hope and peaceful expectation because before us lies a holy, lofty, sublime Ideal, which, if we preseveringly follow, will lead us unto higher realms - of Eternity.

We, the Juniors take this opportunity to extend to the members of the graduating class our heartiest congratulations. May both prosperity and happiness attend your future careers. Dear fellow students, you are now launching your ship upon the Ocean of Life. Yes, you are launching the boat in the open sea, but remember always an objective must be in view. VVork without a definite aim is utterly wasted. You must so sail upon the waves of chance so that you may not be wrecked upon the shoals. The events of the past school days will undoubtedly be remembered and recalled with pleasure, perhaps with pride, when you have passed into the vale of tears. Remember always your aim is high, may you so labor and live that when life's journey is at an end, you may look without regret over your well-spent life and say, Yes, the end crowns the work. Bernice Kovalik '32 MY REFLECTIONS ON THE SCHOOL SEAL As I look and keenly observe our school seal I am impressed with its symbolism. And thus consider the splendid meaning, the design on the seal involves. The burn- ing torch signifies the wide expanse and scope of knowledge and wisdom imparted by the school. The cross, a symbol of religion, suggests that the learning which we receive is and necessarily must be religious. It must be imbued with the true spirit of the Church of Christ. The book laid open brings to the mind the fact that in our temple of knowl- edge, the supernatural and natural truth will assist one another in sisterly union and will disclose themselves reciprocally. The laurel branches meekly protruding appear as if calling: Live, dear school! Let not the changeable decrees of fate bereave you of life. Live! propogate the national spirit in this locality. Awaken enthusiasm to knowledge, produce large armies of enlightened women and guardians of our national spirit. 0 beloved school, we cherish you, we cherish your existence. May your studeng always speak loyally of you and let them esteem you and consider it an honor to be your friends. May they love you as a mother - nourishing and developing future American citizens. The name around the seal conveys to us the idea that our progress in life de- pends upon our trust and love of God. Let us then follow the salutary advice of Christ particularly we, who are withdrawing from under the protecting wings of the Good Counsel High School. Let us labor whole-heartedly, and not alleviate the ideals, or extinguish t-he light of nobility, truth and goodness and all those sublime principles which our school cherishes. Helen Witek, '32. Page Thirty-sim Dreams There are as many people in this good old World of ours, as there are drops of water in a mighty ocean. And every one of these people has a secret longing .... a dream unfulfilled. Some of these poor, patient souls struggle along for years, keep- ing soul and body together merely with the hope of a wish gratified. And our heav- enly Father Who sees in our future either Happiness, Sorrow, Joy or Sadness, smiles sadly, for He knows far better than we poor creatures, how our hearts must ache and ache, how we must know the meaning of bitter sorrows and lonely agony, how we must tread the valley of darkness and how we must rise to the cheerless dawn. But when our cross seems unbearable, He is ever there to say sweet words of com- fort that heal and help .... In a tiny, rose covered cottage in an eastern city, a woman was dying. A dis- tracted husband sat at an open window, looking beseechingly at the starlit heavens, begging God to spare his wife. A faint call from the doctor brought the man to his feet. A question trembled on the parched white lips and a look of agony lurked in the stricken eyes. Doctor. Gravely the old physician nodded. With eyes blurred with scalding tears, the man followed the doctor into the sick room. On her death- bed, lay a wan, pale woman. She was not yet passed her thirtieth birthday, for the unquenchable light of youth still shone in the death-set eyes. With a tearless sob, the broken-hearted man bid last farewell to his wife, and soon only cold lifeless clay remained, for her immortal soul had gone to rest. Not many weeks had passed when another creature bowed low with grief and sorrow, followed his spouse to a better place, where sorrow never enters and joy is glorified. After the funeral of the young husband, affairs began to take a dark aspect in regard to little Miss Mary Ruth, the two year old daughter of the dead couple. She had no living relatives, her parents had left practically nothing as a legacy to her except a large yellow envelope on which was written in black threatening letters: To be opened by Mary Ruth Raymonds on her eighteenth birthday. So, sad as it was, tiny Mary Ruth was sent with the mysterious envelope to an Orphan Asylum. For twelve years, this tiny bud blossomed fragrantly in the gentle atmosphere of the convent home, receiving the best in educational training that love and money could procure. Naturally, bright and friendly, she was not satisfied with herself. Daily, ever since she could remember, Mary Ruth prayed that the mysterious enve- lope would contain her identity, for no one knew who her parents were. She hoped with the ardor of a child that she would be rich. Oh! rich as the world could be. She wanted pretty clothes, pretty hats. She wanted to go to parties, or to great pic- nics. Oh! how she disliked the asylum. At the age of fourteen, she completed the grammar school department, and en- tered high school at the asylum. There, she was given charge over the younger children. Something in their sweet faces so sad and lonely caused her deep regret, that she could wish for a frivolous life, when tiny children, such as these, were alone. starving for affection, deprived of a mother's love and a father's care. These sad faced children caused her extreme moments of anxiety. Jimmie Burns fell into the scrub bucket almost ending his young and turbulent life, .lane Jones scared the babies into fits by her grotesque facesg Teddy Tines suffered from terrible scares caused by Alice, because of loud coughing usually during study hour, Mollie Min- stc-r's giggles were chronic-Amy Anders was subject to hysterics.

DREAMS - Continued One night, Mary Ruth was awakened by soft but heart-rendering sobs which seemed to be issuing from the children's dormitory. Mary Ruth listened, trying to find out who was sobbing. She knew Amy, Jane, Joan and Lizzie possessed a whole- some fear of the dark ami sometimes their shouts awakened the entire household. However, these sobs seemed unlike the other children's cries, so slipping on a robe and. slippers, she entered the darkened room. A flood of liquid gold fell across the room. By the colored' curtained window, Mary Buth spied a sweet fairy child. Eyes of deepest somberest black were set far apart in the white pale face. A shower of soft golden ringlets formed a halo for the bent, tear-stained face. The transparent hands were clasped tightly over a yellow aged prayer book, while the scarlet lips moved tremblingly. Mary Ru-th stepped back, startled at the strange, yet sad beauty of the child before her. The little fairy-girl turnedg Mary Buth saw that the gentle face was tear-stained and swollen. The black eyes held a world of mute longilig-Without another word they were clasped in each others arms-the child crying. Oh! Girls! my dear dad- dy and mamma are gone to heaven? The little girl's name was Merlyn Meredyth. Bit by bit, Mary Ruth found Merlyn's story. Mr. Meredyth was a wealthy Wall St. Broker. He had millions at his disposal, grand winter and summer homes, numerous servants, every luxury. His small daughter was the dearest treasure in the world to him. For her sake, he earned his money to bestow on her everything life could offer. But, all was wiped out. The tragedy of it killed him. So, this child of luxury- Merlyn-was bereft of every advantage at one foul stroke. Accustomed to riches, pining for her parents, lost, alone, and forsaken, little Merlyn faded and drooped. She became thinner, her eyes shone too brightly, her cheeks glowed too rosily, her lips were too crimson. Slowly, Mary Ruth watched the little bud' wither, and, at last, one autumn day, little Merlyn bade a last farewell to her dear, darling Mary Ruth, and with white arms clasped lovingly around her, and burning lips held close to the cool trembling ones, the little life faded. After the last breath was drawn, Mary Ruth vowed to devote her life to the care of others -to keep faith with the pure young flower who was cven now blossoming at Jesus's feet. She renounced riches and worldly pleasures at the throne of Jesus in Heaven. The years passed quickly and soon Mary Ruth's eighteenth birthday approached. Strangely, she evidenced no curiosity in regard to the desire 'or wish to know her identity. Sufficient it was, that she would soon be numbered among God's chosen few, to have a place in His Garden, to share in His blessings. Her youthful desire to become rich has faded with the life of Merlyn Meredyth. She had seen the sor- row' money could bring,-in fact, she hated wealth. However, one May evening, when the spell of Spring lay over the quiet convent, she heard the contents of the mysterious envelope. Trembling, she listened to her story written by her mother's trembling hand. May I be forgiven, but I had to do it. This sentence was written in shaky letters, as though the writer's very soul was torn. Then followed the statements which explained Mary Ruth's'identity. Her grandfather was the millionaire Bally from Long Island. Mr. Bally, Mary Ruth's mother's father was a non-catholic who disowned his daughter, when she had mar- ried a young catholic lawyer. Her conversion was the last straw. He hated his girl's husband fiercely, and vowed vengeance. XVhen Mary Ruth was born, he wished to adopt her, for her father was very very poor. But Mrs. Raymond, know- ing that her baby would not be brought up in the true Faith, refused. When Mary Page Thirty-eight F M' M 5'il 3 S ' lliif I H 'Ulm C 0 UN S EL 0 1k,1931 DREAMS - Continued Ruth was eighteen, and well grounded in her Faith, then she would be allowed to go to her grandfather. Below the signature was written faintly: 0h! Mary Ruth, my darling, go to him,-teach him our Faith-make up to him for the pain I have unwillingly caused the dearest man in all the world, next to Jack. Do as he wishes in all that is right. Love him for my sake, my little Mary Ruth. Your loving Mother. Nothing but that sad little plea could move Mary Ruth to surrender her cher- ished dream of becoming God's own spouse. And so she went, this brave little girl, to obey the wish of her dying mother. However, the tears of pure joy in Mr. Bally's dim old eyes made up in part for her sacrifice. Her mother smiled down on her from the wall, and though her father's picture was absent, she sensed his helpful presence. She dared not approach the subject of religion, he would have none of it, in fact, he hardly agreed in allowing her to practice it herself. But in this she was firm, and he had to yield. Years passed, quickly. One year faded into five-into ten- into fifteen-into twenty. At thirty-eight, Mary Ruth had plentiful amount of silver in her chestnut hair, her smile was grim and seldom. In a winter's twilight, when the leaden sky reflected her own mood, and life seemed drab and dreary as her inner world, she sat buried deep in thought. She saw upon the screen of her thought, her parents dreaming a life of usefulness to- gether. She saw her grandfather who had dreamed of a reconciliation with his daughter. Also, Mr. Meredyth who dreamed of riches for his little girl, Merlyn dreaming of the reunion of her parents in heaven, finally, she caught a glimpse of herself dreaming of life for God alone. Yet most of these dreamers, had longed and dreamed in vain! Many have gone to the Valley of Silence. Her grandfather was happy with her. Oh! only she was left alone. Was it fair? She almost screamed the word. Fair! the silent room re-echoed it. The still cold air took it up and passed it on to the white-robed trees, to the frozen rivers, to the snowy gatrtdens. Fair! Fair! Was not anything that God decided, fair? Who was the greatest fulfiller of all dreams? Who longed for His people to love Him? Who died that they might live? With bowed head and downcast eyes, Mary Ruth whispered to herself fully recon- ciled, Lord, Thy Will Be Done!

Well rooted in the garden of memory are the joys and sorrows, which we may cherish and call our own. Pleasant are the thoughts upon which we contemplate with full satisfaction. 1927 - 1928 XVelcome to our Realm of Wisdom, were the words that filled the air, when thir- ty timid and shy young maidens made their appearance at the court of the Castle of Virtue and Knowledge in the year '27, Fate has brought us together from all parts of the country and has preserved us u11til this day under the mantle of our Beloved Alma Mater. Unaware were we of our greenness and awkwardness as Fresh- men. No doubt, we all remember and must acknowledge what source of amuse- ment we were to the upper classes. Trembling like aspen leaves, we commenced our High School career with the hope of expanding the knowledge acquired in the primary grades. lgnorant of this new routine, we found ourselves on the first step that leads to the Gate of Wisdom, full of enthusiastic ardor and: stoieal fortitude to proceed onward. Under the guidance of the Teaching Faculty, we made rapid progress in our daily studies. To outweigh the dark moments of life, days of joy and pleasure greeted us. Thus, time flew on wings and vacation was at hand. 1928 - 1929 With the appearance of fall, all amusements vanished and the duties and obliga- tions of a Sophomore have fallen upon our shoulders. From a group of thirty, twenty-one returned as full of good-fellowship as a sugar maple of sap. With an apology to our text books, we have boldly ventured forth to the second step of the Castle of Knowledge. As Freshmen, we felt as pages readily submitting to the Queen's service, but this year we felt more or less as jesters in the castle, adding flavor and spirit to the court. Notwithstanding our free and frivolous spirit, deter- mination and enthusiasm proved to be our unfailing companions throughout the year. To strengthen the bond of cooperation among ourselves, a class -club having for its motto No Victo1'y Without Labor, was organized! Besides developing our intellect, keen interest was shown in gymnastics. Basketball was our middle name, and many a victory has crowned our game. Just as all plants need sunshine, we too, felt that a period of relaxation was necessary. The Christmas and Easter holi- days refreshed our minds mentally as well as physically and enabled us to complete our Sophomore year successfully. 1929 - 1930 Crowning events of the previous year encouraged us all to enter into Junior- ship. Fully realizing the value of education, we greeted our work with zest and energy. How fortunate we were! To be incorporated into the royal family and have our Alma Mater constantly at our side, meant paradise to us. With an ardent desire to maintain the spirit of cooperation, our frst strenuous efforts were indulged in re- organizing our Class Club and participating in various school activities. Our motto Onward and Upward was our only inspiration and guide in times of doubt and distress. Not to be tempted into foolhardiness, we performed everything at the proper moment, facing manly all fortunes and misfortunes. Sports and music were intermingled with our studies. The most important event in the course of this year, was the unexpected visit paid by Dr. H. Trimble. 1930 - 1931 At last, we became aware of the exalted prospect of becoming Seniors. Yes. we have found ourselves on the last step, a short distance away from the Gate of XVis- dom. At the very entrance our Alma Mater promised to invite us to an annual banquet where the coronation of every prince and princess woud take place. Since we were candidates, we firmly re-solved to fulfill our task honorably and become worthy of our dignity. Our unflinching motive was to redouble our efforts in every regard. New clubs were formed and officers elected to their respective duties. The initiation of the Freshmen into the intricacies of high-school life, was the first BY-L H15 f A A ,raj ,aj .' , K . .. .. ... .... .... 3 :mi 431' .QT 1,-5, X' ' A -' - -- .S 'D'-A 3.3! s ,L 5: g .

Hard Time Parties, Senior banquets, miscellaneous programs and biology trips, occupied a warm 11ook in our hearts. Earliest endeavors were directed to our school-paper entitled Counselia which has embodied the news of every month, and to the annual, which we consider our treasure chestf' Eagerly have we watched Old Father Time hurrying in a rapid pace for the last three years, but now-We were n-ot reconciled with the thought that within a few weeks we were to enter the castle and become participants in that memorable banquet-Fortune smiled upon us. After cracking the hard nut, texamsl the moment of graduation arrived. The Gates opened at the request of our Alma Mater! At last, our dreams are realities! We have reached our coveted goal.

OUR TRIBUTE Oh, Alma Mater to us so dear, We leave your portals with many a tear, Knowledge, sweet mem'ries and every strife Shall accompany us through our life. Four years we've spent within your walls And now, when voice of duty calls, We must with you forever part, But with a sad and doleful heart. Departing this day, we say, goodbye! To You dear Teachers of Good Counsel High, And our thanks, we extend most sincere, For the kind guidance every year. Your counsels, advices, shall always abide In our hearts, as if at your side, Grateful forever we shall be For what we are, and in the :future will be. Farewell, to you dear students we say, Who have been friends to us every day, Whose winsome smiles we'll never forget, Since the day we first have met. Once again we bid You all adieu! Promising to be ever loyal and trueg And incessantly cherished in our memory will be, Our Alma Mater, Our Dear G. C. Helen Brodkowicz '31 BEFORE THE SCHOOL ALTAR Dear school, beloved school, we, your faithful daughters declare that to you we owe all our success and love. We promise that we will not annihilate nor abate your noble ideals, and that we will not dissipate nor lessen the spiritual treasure heaped upon us. We assure you that we will not forsake nor denounce your guidance concealed within our hearts in luminous letters. Oh, dear school, we solemnly declare to stand by you, protect you, and serve you forever. Sylvia Kolanowska, '32. Page Fifty OUR SCHOOL To loyal Counselites of the past, present, and future, Good Counseli' stands for the greatest Catholic High School in Chicago. The girls call it great, not because of its size, but because of its great attainment within such a short time. Four years ago, under the auspices of the Felician Sisters the portals of Good Counsel High were opened for the first time, to all young ladies desiring a thorough Catholic Educaftion. The purpose of the school is twofold: To train ideal Catholic women whose lives will be guided by catholic principles, and to impart a broad general culture. All Catholic Secondary Schools exist primarily to provide religious education and opportunities for spiritual enlightenment and growth. This ideal is kept constantly before 'the minds and in the hearts of the instructors and the stu- dents. The school aims to achieve the second ideal by teaching a limited number of standard subjects, permeated by t.he spirit of liberal culture. The buildings are set on the picturesque thirty-four acre CZIIIIIJUS bounded by Peterson, Crawford, ltogers and St. Louis Avenues. The Library and Reading ltooms are spacious, well lighted, and well ventilated. Students have access at any hour both to the general and departmental libraries. The Physics, Chemistry and Biology laboratories are equipped with all thc latest of modern apparatus. The scholastic standing is held Zllllllllg the highest. Good Counsel has been af- filiated with the Catholic Univesrsity ot' America for a nulnber of years. January 15th, 1930. the school has been accredited to the University of Illinois, and few months later it has been recognized by the State of Illinois. March ltlth. 1931 it re- ceived membership in the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. XVe can proudly say that it is the only Catholic High School in Chicago that received such remarkable recognitions at such an early age. XVe can readily see that the achievement of Good Counsel is really a develop- ment that has come through the zealous labor of the Felician Sisters and the loving cooperation of all the students, past and present. f May our Lord shower upon you, dear Alma Mater, an abundance of everlasting avors.

Lt consists in some particular occupation throughout life. To some it seems a burden, to others it affords happl ness. Whatever it may be, depends upon the individual himself. There i-sl a partic ular mission in this world for every man to perform. The one who finds his work need not ask for other blessings because he has found his life's purpose. To ac complish it, he must labor continually with all the energies of his soul. The idle who are ignorant of the meaning of labor often ask themselves, XVhy should life all labor be? It is evident that people of this type merely .seek self-satisfaction. They do not see .the necessity of sacrifice and working in harmony- with their neighbor Their success may be temporary, butt in time all pleasure and frivolity will cease They resemble parasites who shirk duty and live on the labor of others. Helpless and prone to melancholy they become victims of fate. They realize their loss of true happiness. On the other hand, the industrious find labor the only source of happiness. Life is like a stormy sea threatening to devour the vessel representing man's labor. Unless they incessantly resist and conf-ront the raging billows, they will fail to reach the port-their destination. The difficulties of life do not weaken their 'arduous spirit but satrengthenl it. No matter in what sphere one's duty lies, it is never degrading Contentment consists mainly in lending their brethren a helping hand and perform ing their respective duties worthily. Thus, not only have they peace of conscience but become fond of daily work which banishes weariness of heart and establishes a reputation among friends. Labor is practically the motto of all those who strive to achieve success. The genius, just as the common workman, leads -a life of intense labor. Before the title Genius is assumed, many great' obstacles must be conquered. The thought of his missi-on makes him realize the necessity of becoming a subject of ridicule until the world recognizes his service. It is true that man's abilities differ, but everyone must develop the talents possessed, otherwise, he becomes stagnant. The benefits derived from labor are numerous. Labor aids in developing and strengthening characterg it develops self-conltrol, responsibility, perseverance and sincerity through which esteem and respect as a citizen 'and a reputable position in the world is gained. Through effort, zeal, assiduity and self-reliance, one reaches his goal in life. The world needs men of great forbearance and determination to main-tain its morale. Those who in some way have contributed to the progress of the nation, were not men so much of genius but men of conviction and enduring capacity for work. Edison and Ford through their inventions and Holmes through his justice, have added to the development and prosperity' of our country. It is not within the power of all men to make such immense contributions, but it is man S obligation to face all fortunes and misfortunes and not to neglect labor. The per formance of our daily tasks brings pleasure, skill and above all success which re sults in peace on earth and everlasting happiness in heaven.

Recently reading the works of Adam Asnyk, the poet, the following words im- pressed me: The seed of noble thoughts will never perish, the purest inspiration will never die. How beautiful 'and sublime is the truth expressed in these words, that the good and noble will never be lost without an echo, and that blessings over wait on virtuous deeds and though late, a sure reward succeeds. It is evident that noble deeds will always resound even in the depths of the most ungrateful soul. During our entire stay at the Good Counsel, the teachers have been incessantly implanting in our souls the seed of noble thoughts, teaching us thereby what is holy, pure, noble and good. They were the ones who molded our characters on the principles of christian virtues. They have striven by word and deed to implant within us not only lofty ideals but also means of attaining them. The teacher who understands the individual needs of all those in her charge, and who does all in her power to aid the individual pupil in his difficulties, is doing a great work. Such have been our teachers. Who guided and directed our thoughts, rectified our faultering steps, clarified our difficulties and showed us the important points of each lesson as we pursued our studies? Each one of us must admit and say: All that I have done as a pupil has been through the wholesome influence of my teachers. It is they who have pointed out to me the real value of Catholic edu- cation and virtue. Indeed true, great, good and valiant workers in Christ's vineyard are our teach- ers. They have given up worldly pleasures, to labor each day for our welfare, that we may gain heaven's treasure. Their work shall be remembered forever at the Throne of God. They have led us well and their rich reward will be just and sweet. In our daily association with them we can see that their devotion is worthy of a heavenly seat. We have been inflamed by their example and uplifting thought: Re- main afar from sin, no-r by it ever be shamed, and ever shall we be loyal in act and word to this precept. Now, as we are abouttobegin our life'sjourney, we must prepare to meet the various circumstances that will confront us, with the virtues instilled in our hearts. We must go out into the world with a broader outlook upon life. We must take upon ourselves new responsibilities and new duties. Shirk we cannot and must not.- But unfortunately, the few weak and unarmed in the armour of virtue and truth will fall a prey to the snares of the world. But the stronger and those who -have heeded the advice of the teachers, will remember what they have acquired in their high school days and will ever remain firm to the standards of Christ, and thus, bring honor to dear Alma Mater. In times of discouragement the faces of our loving teachers will rise before us. Their thoughts and desires will revive in our hearts and add strength and courage to continue on the path of righteousness. Let us kindly and silently thank them for the seed they have sown in our souls. Let us show them our sincere appreciation and deepest gratitude by carrying on their teaching into our daily lives and by modeling our lives so as to meet the Highest of Ideals-The Divine Master.

ARTICLE I To Rev. Bonaventure Santor, our Chaplain, we bequeath our honest Apprecia- tion for having directed us on the paths of our sanctification. To our dear Principal and to the beloved Faculty, we leave our grateful remem- brance of the self-devotion and forbearance manifested during the four years spent with them. ARTICLE II To the Juniors, we will all the honors and duties, joys and worries common to every Senior class. To them do we also leave our school paper, the Counselia with sincerest wishes for success. To the studious Sophomores, we leave pleasant memories of the Easter egg hunt and honestly hope that the bonds of our friendship may 11ever be broken. To the striving Freshmen, we transmit our enthusiasm, energy and zeal for studies, sports and amusements. We likewise deem it necessary to give them all the experiences of the past four years. ARTICLE III May our personal properties he disposed of accordingly: Praxeda Bederska wills to Sophia Buczynska, her speed in typewriting without getting pinched and her wrecked typewriter, which might be of some use after several repairs. Helen Brodkowicz of uunhlemished patriotism transmits the care of the flag to Helen Witek. To Mary Chrzanowska she bequeaths her fluent Polish speech. Violet Kaczmaryn hands her position as prefect of the borders to Gertrude Zie- linska. Henrietta Kazmierczak CO. Henry's sister? leaves her cross-word puzzles to Wanda Koziol and her set of pink collar and cuffs to Lillian Blaski. Fortunate Clara Kolacinska wills her luck in guessing the teacher's thoughts to Helen Hilburger. Virginia Konopa gives her cheerful disposition and popularity among the stu- dents to Bernice Kovalik. Stephania Krauklis confers her interest in basket-ball and good sportmanship upon Mary Leszczynska. Susan Miotke cedes her ample supply of English notes to Sylvia Kolanowska on the condition that they be completed by the end of the year. Josephine Piorkowska wills her rosy cheeks and powerful soprano to Emily Wodniak. Rose Przybyta tdon't overlook her! bequeaths her height and width to Martha Nadzieja and her home-madet' vocabulary to Stella Klisiewicz. Anna Putyra hands her free-hand drawings in biology to Angela Witowska and her ability to argue and win to Sophia Fiedor. Cecilia Ryba tbelonging to the fish family? wills her gracefulness in dancing to XVanda Marciniak, better known as Moonbeams. Sophia Sawicka leaves her mild disposition to Janet Swierczynska and her ease in observing silence to Wanda Stefanik. The seniors' pride Marie Smulka transmits her store of historical questions to Lottie Szymczak and her ever-ready excuses to Emily Kolodziej. Anna Tomkowicz bequeaths her fame as a dreamer to Bernice Piorkowska and her sea-sickening waves to Josephine Libera. Sophia Tymczyszyn wills to Mary Padlo the responsibilities 'and privileges as leader of the future Senior Class. Stella Wierzbowska leaves her office as librarian to Stella Krzesniak for a term of three-hundred and sixty-five days. An11a Wych, last but by no means, the least, imparts to Mary VVachowiak her acquired knowledge of piano playing. To this our last will and testament we solemnly set our hand and seal on this fourteenth day of June in the year of our Lord. nineteen hundred and thirty-one. Signed by - THE WIDE-AWAKE EIGHTEEN.

Susan Miotke, '31. 0nward and Upward The class of '31 has selected Onward and Upward as the beacon light to guide them safely within the portals of the Castle of Virtue and VVisdom. There, in the dim horizon, stands the Castle of Wisdom in all its majestic splen- dor. The entrrtance is heavily barred. Only those who continue onward through difficulty and adversity and upward with faith in the Almighty can emerge success- fully, after all barriers have been removed. During the years that have elaps-ed we have been adequately provided for, edu- cated and guided spiritually. In these, we have found comfort and happiness and above all God's blessing. In return, what do we give? After careful reflection, we admit with candor, Comparatively little. These by-gone years are but the yesterdays of today. Time crept upon us, and S0011 we will be left chiefly to our own resources. VVhether one continues life's work in life consecrated to God, in the state of matrimony, or in the performance of some useful labor in single blessedness, she will select the career that to her in- dividual mind will promote the greatest happiness here and hereafter. NVith Onward and Upward as our motto, we cannot fail to find peace and con- tentment that is the compensation for service well rendered. Neither can we fail to feel the satisfaction of accomplishment that penetrates one's very soul. We con- tinue onward in the execution of the work that makes for the progress of civili- zation. Onward, in the treatment of our fellowmen as one creation of the Almighty to another, for the perfection of mind and matter. Onward, to have the ability to look upon past mistakes not as regrettable instances, but as ta precaution for future actions. Upward, to make realism out of idealism and to have the power and cour- age to say that we would live it over in the same way. - As ag further assurance of success, we graduates, assert that an ideal in woman- hood should be maintained. We have selected the finest possible ideal and model, the Blessed Mary Mother of Good Counsel. Her perfection cannot be reached, for we are beings prone to err, but we can become like Her in many respects. If we re- member the morals instilled in our hearts and minds and the strengthening of the foundation of the religious principles at Good Counsel High School, it will aid in averting moral danger, and help us to reacxh our ideal and serve God as Mary did. Onward and Upward -is our ideal and watchword. If the ideal be not at- tained, at least, merit for the arduous effort put forth in striving fofr its attainment counterbalances the sacrifice and serves as an inducement for the furtherance of fortitude. Through the imitation of our ideal, self-sacrifice, and the desire to ac- complish what is expected of one, you cannot help but prove too great a force for the indomitable barriers of the Castle of Virtue and Wisdom and enter triumphantly. Admission has been granted us, but stop we must not, nay,-we must not even tarry. lt is but another achievement in the course of life time. Others will soon take our places here, and we must ever continue Onward and Upward. Virginia Konopa, '31. - - -.- . ff-.--1 1 , . , ..:: .... .......... v .mm .,... ....

It is the end, and yet, it is the beginning. For many years, we have been gradually preparing to climb the rugged path that would lead us into the Castle of Virtue and VVisdom, but we did not realize that we would stand at its por- tals so soon. Childish pursuits in early years did not allow us to think of the fu- ture that was to contain many tiresome nights of study, endless days of indefatigable work and frequent failures. We did not imagine ourselves as grown-ups' and guests .'n the Castle of Virtue and Wisdom which we were determined to reach. When we grew older and assumed the work in the grades, the responsibilities of the future seemed vague. It was only on our en-trance into high school, that we under- stood the full meaning of success in life. Here, our thoughts, our actions, our en- vironment, influenced our development as intelligent young ladies. We realized also, that every opportunity which we had for education must be eagerly grasped that we may be prepared to meet the demands of life. Our experiences have constantly been greater, and through them we attained success. We were taught by our vir- tuous teache-rs to surmount the obstacles we had met, and to perform the tasks which were set before us. At times, we could not recollect why so much stress was laid upon this moral duty, but now, we know that, what we then regarded as drudg- ery was an absolute essential? part of our training. If we measure the merry moments together, the parties and social affai-rs, and the friendships that have grown up as a result of our association with each other, the time in these four years has quickly passed by. These pleasant days make us forget the arduous ones we have had. Dear friends, many are the motives which prompt us in our thanks for the fact that we are here. What our experiences both successful and unsuccessful have been, we will forever keep in memory. What our education has been to us, and what it will give us in the future, we ask you to judge by our achievements. But, we would be uniust, if we ourselves took all the glory for these successful accomplishments. Honor is due to our kind parents, dear teachers, friends and relatives who were so keenly interested in, and concerned with both our failures and successes. Little do we see how much our parents have denied themselves, and what this heroic sacri- fice has cost them. Then, too, profound respect is due to our teachers who helped us in our difficultiesyand who for four years have been our best friends and ad- visors, keenly feeling our victories and defeats. Allow us then to thank you sincerely and gratefully, our dear parents, teachers and friends for your sacrifice, effort, encouragement and advice which has aided us in o11r journey to where we now stand at, the gates of the Castle of Virtue and NVis- dom.

C. is well acquainted with this quotation because of his frequent visit to the library. Though located on the second' floor, it is not deprived of its daily guests. Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen .... all, find it a valuable source of information and regard it as a solemn chamber in which one can take counsel of all that has been wise, great, and glorious amongst our predecessors. The library, consisting of eleven thousand volumes, is always at the disposal of the students as well as' the faculty. The installation of the standard catalog sys- tem was completed the previous year, thus, rendering adequate service to the stu- dent body. The encyclopedia case, located in the south-eastern corner of the library, is constantly at -the mercy of the girls. R-arely is a book left unnoticed or untouched. Above these, are the -religion books with ample information' fort their readers. The history pupils take great interest in the history reference books, the ancient as well as the modern, which seem to obliterate their uncertainties and reveal the heroic deeds of our ancestors. Books of literature, rhetoric and grammar constitute the English section. Shakespeare with his dramas, Tennyson with his poems, Newman with his essays, and Scott with his novels open manifold avenues in the field of life. Fiction affords pleasure and occasionally eases the weary minds. The language department consists of books on Polish, French, Spanish, Italian and German. Latin and Greek, though dead languages, continue to live in the minds of thea Latin schol- ars who take pleasure in translating it. Books on the sciences as, Mathematics, Biol- ogy, Botany, Physiology, Physics and Chemistry, are not lacking. The rack with its latest editions of popular educational magazines, serves as a special supplement to the students. Last, but the mostly used, are the dictionaries. The scene in the library at noon, after class hours and particularly before examinations, reminds one of a swarm of busy bees in a hive. The most suggestive of these is the whispering equivalent to the buzzing of these little creatures. To the book-lovers, the library is a place of contentment and joy. It is a para- dise of delights wherein are contained those things' that inform the mind, stimulate the understanding, and uplift the soul. The advantages it offers are endless and priceless. Many moments of leisure, contemplation, and meditation are spent amidst these silent companions. They eagerly await us daily that we may digest the knowl- edge they offer and make it a part of ourselves. Diligently perusing these books, we fully realize Bacon's statement: Reading maketh a wise mang Writing a ready mang Conference a full man. This quotation strengthens the necessity of a library. Constant reading improves correspondence and produces eloquent speakers. Co- operation with these thousands of immortal friends, guides us on the road to pros- perity in our select profession. I love my books! they are companions dear, Sterling in worth, in friendship most sincereg Here talk I with the wise in ages gone, And with the nobly gifted in our own: If love, joy, laughter, sorrow, please my mind, Love, joy, laughter, grief, in my book I find.

VVe pondered on why couldn't necessity wait, until you had finished your last year with us. But such is life and we can be thankful for the three years spent with you. In our thoughts you were here, doing what we chanced to do, saying what we said and making merry with us. Any occasional news of you brought us joy. We hoped and prayed for your success and still hope and pray that it is yours and ever will be. SENIOR'S LITERARY CIRCLE Praxeda Bederska ........................................

A LFRED TENNYSON Page Fifty-eight A Clipping from The Light That' Never Failed Centuries seem to have gone by, since I have left ther portals of Dear G. C., and yet, when I reflect, it is only ten years,-years that have borne their fruit. The duties connected with my office as editor-in-chief of The Light That Never Failed take up so much of my time and at'tention that I have lost track of my classmates who have during these years taken up thei-r respective careers in this busy world. It was fate therefore that attended me on this memorable day in 1941. I came to the office Monday morning as usual, ready 'to' begin the routine of the day. The .secretary was summoned to bring the reports to be published on the tenth anniversary of the alumni of 1931. Among these, l find news of the Old Good Coun- sel Alumni. Oh, what cherished memories revive! Piorrgetting all the responsibility and worry of my office, with a fluttering heart I read and live over my school days. This is what I find: Mrs. Rodney Platt, former Miss Virginia Konopa, will enstertain the President of G. C. University and his wife at a din11er, Wednesday, July 15th, at her residence in goalie Forest. The president and Mrs. Platt's husband were once fellow students at 'a e. An exhibition of Miss Cecilia Ryba's paintings is now shown at the Fine Art In- s-titute. Her recently completed picture of Our Lady of America, has greatly added to her already established reputation. Sister Mary Agneta, O. S. F. tformerly Susan Miotkel was awarded first prize for a dissertation written as a parti-al fulfillment of the requirements for a Ph. D. degree. It was proclaimed a work of unique value in the educational field. The article will appear in the current educational magazines. -Sunday, July 12th, Miss Rose Przybyla will make her stage debut at the Palace Theatre, playing a part in Mother's Best P-al. She is also scheduled to play the leading role in Life's Trial two weeks from now. Miss Rose has already dis- tinguished herself with her unusual talent in the dramatic world. At a recent Teachers' Conference, Miss Stephania Krauklis proposed the in- troduction for experiment the method of the Unit Teaching in secondary schools. As principal in the Normal School, Miss Krauklis has directed her efforts toward the organization and improvement of the curriculum in High Schpols. Mr. and Mrs. Kazmierczak announce the departure of their daughter, Henrietta, on a tour to Europe to complete her education. Miss Kaimierczak received a schol- :rrship for a post graduate course in Europe 'last month at the University of Chicago. Illinois' champion typist, Miss Praxeda Bederska, will act as private secretary to Mr. Stein, president of the new Silk Corponation. A noted Parisian designer acknowledged Miss Marie Smulka's style in modeling dresses and hats far superior to her own. She -offers to pay her passage to Europe if Marie consents to work for her. The appearance of a noted soloist, Miss Violet Kaczmaryn, alumni of 1931, will be a special feature in the annual concert of Good Counsel. She will grace the oc- casion with two selections, Ave Maria and Beautiful Night. Miss Anna Putyra, graduate of Chicago Physical Culture School, is now a teach- er of athletics at her Alma Mater. She is doing splendid work. The girls have won the third annual championship in basketball in succession. The Women's Polish Association headed by Mrs. Badczynska, former Miss Helen Brodkowicz, is making preparations for tnhe reception of the Polish Consul. A ban- quet will be held in his honor at, Mrs. Badczynska's residence. Among fthe celebrated musicians of today, is Miss Anna Wych, pianist and founder of the Ann Conservatory of Music. She is now touring in Europe and giv- ing concert programs.

Justice above all were the constantly repeated words of Miss Anna Tomko- wicz at the trial of a woman whose offence was defending her children fr-om a cruel father. Miss Anna voiced her defense of the accused so logically and affectively that the jury were won over and issued a verdict of acquital. Science has finally broadened the knowledge of vitamins. Miss Sophia Sawicka embodied her five years experimentation and study of this substance in a book Vi- tamins and Their Value to Man. As I put aside this report, thousands of thoughts rapidly crowd my min-d. In a kaleidoscopic fashion, these personages and the various incidents associated with their schooll career move before me. Commencement day, in particular, is imprinted deeply in my memory. I can hear once more eighteen girlish voices in unison promising that the light of virtue and wis-dom, that Alma Mater imparted to them, would ever remain a living power within them. Yes, they have promised then to follow n-0 other path to success but the one illumined by that light. And I am hap- py, for they have been true to their Alma Mater and to themselves. Clara Kolacifiska, '31. ADIEU! Our High School career has already reached its end. We have completed an- other phase of life's work-work which we assure you was not always easily ac- complished. Yet all was not hardship, for pleasure was found in all our tasks. The previous years spent at Good Counsel were like dreams so brief in length. Our Freshmen days seem but yesterday. In that year we did many idiotic things, but then, so did a multitude of other Freshies. The school curriculum and rules affected us like the sea monsters -affected the people of old. In our Sophomore and Junior year we were already well aware of the methods and rules of the High School. We began more serious work, but we have striven to enjoy immensely the school outings, parties and other amusements. Through these years we shared in defeats, pleasures and triumphs. Our thoughts and interests were considered as one. But the day of our departure from these wonders marks a great change in our life. All of us are now seriously considering the future, for we must all leave G. C. Our training in the service for life has reached its conclusion. The time has now come when we must leave and bid Farewell. We are com- pelled to sever the ties of friendship that have bound us closely for four years. Though we may never see one another again, that feeling of true friendship, sym- pathy and love will never, never cease. Adieu,' we say to our former days at our Alma. Mater, to all our friends old and new. Adieu to our dear teachers and instructors who have worked and striven daily for our benefit. You have encouraged us on to higher endeavors and stronger efforts. You understood our wants and have aided and directed us to the hidden? treasures which we are to take to the Castle of Virtue and Wisdom, that is into ie. As the High School gates now close behind us, we cast our last Farewell to all whom we left behind. We hope that those who will follow us shall find joy and success in 'all their achievements. Whether the future finds us in a pleasant environment, or on the thorny road of life, we will always bear in mind the dear days at Goodg Counsel. We will often think of our instructors who led the way and gave us the key to the treasures which we take as our heritage into the world today. We will also remember all the plea- sant incidents which happened during our presence. We also bid a sweet good-bye to all our dear schoolmates with whom we associated for such a long time. Never will we forget their smiling faces. Deep and lasting regret fills our hearts, that all this had reached its goal so soon. With confused feelings for the past, stand before us co-ntemplations for the future which have enticed us forward and allowed us to stand before the golden gates of the Castle of Virtue and Wisdom. Henrietta Kaimierczak, '31, Page Sixty Character Character or personality is one of the greatest assurances of success. Some people may deny this statement, but if it is considered logically and carefully its truth asserts itself. Y-our character is you and no force, however mighty, can dis- claim it. Most things in life undergo a change. The same is true of character. It suffers changes, but no matter how it is altered it is still a vital part of you. Every word, deed, and action is a further credit or discredit to one's character. Your natural endowments and propensities as well as acquired tendencies are all included. Other people's evaluation of you depends wholly on your personality. Environment has much to do with the formation and development of your char- acter. Personal effort, however furnishes the artistic touches that complete the work of art and sets it up as a success. No matter what field of life one enters, success is measured by honesty, stead- fastness, individuality and righteousness. What are these qualities? .... but traits of character and an accurate reflection of your innermost thoughts and deeds. Can this be prudently denied? Some people attempt to 'assume a character, but the deception becomes apparent in a short time, for some phase of gaucherie is hound to creep in and disclose the hypocrisy. The consequences need not be mentioned. Know thy character and you know thine self, not from knowledge of what a paid phrenologist imparts but from words, deeds and actions. All throughout history distinguished people had force of character. Their very features told the world why they were successful. Without character, nothing availeth you. The most brilliant qualities become useless when they are not sustained by force of character. Unless one bears in mind the necessity of character develop- ment and strives to develop one worthy of praise, his success cannot be assured. The path that acclaims success seems lacking, for when character is not upheld all else is devoid of power. Virginia Konopa, '31. OUR PLEA We beg Thee, O Lord, to grant us strength to do, All necessary services in honor of Youg Grant us wisdom to be brave and true, Unto the cause of our dear Gold and Blue, In each task intrusted to us, May we a true purpose see. O Lord, please teach us not to sigh, When tasks we are told to tryg But grant us faith to be on guard, To see behind each duty hardg Whatsoever our task may be this is our creed, That we are on earth to fill a need.

Perhaps they look like a happy and contented set of mortals-or perhaps, as if they thought they were above the average senior class of a high school. But ah! appearances in this case would be sadly deceiving. You see here a persecuted, down-trodden, worn-out classg the early settlers of our glorious land of the free could not boast of more patient, or painful struggling than we. Besides the ordinary strain of four years high school course, and the monthly issue of the Counselia, we have undertaken the publication of 'an annual, a work that would cause stouter hearts than ours to quail. The compiling and publishing of an animal is an education in itself. Outr editor-in-chief is no longer a brunette, for her hair is turning to a silvery gray color. ln no time, she' might be compelled to advertise for hair tonics. The advertising editors report that they have worn out two pairs of slippers traversing the streets of -the business district of Chicago. But our humorists have made the alarming statement that they feared of being demented before they finished the jokesg and they certainly will lose the last inch of their mental property, respected reader, if you don't laugh at the jokes. So, in your char- ity, do at least smile at them. Our sights and mental abilities a-re completely ex- hausted: the prophetess exchanged the ambitions of the girls when rewriting her reports. The result was a great commotion and opposition, almost ending in a book storm at the perplexed sorceress. Now, occasions like these are very nerve rack- ing, and indeed, medical men have pronounced them extremely injurious to the nerv- ous system. We appea-l to you, therefore, for sympathy, and after carefully perusing our honest statements, you surely cannot refuse it. However, we do not regret the time and labor we have given to our annual, for whatever is worth having is worth working for, -and we recall the words of the poet: Nothing .is useless, or low, Each thing in its place is best, And what S00lllS but idle, show, Strengthens and supports the rest. lf The Counselor has given you an insight to our school life, and has better acquainted you with the pure atmosphere in which we dwell-where progress in virtue and intellect keep pace-we shall feel that we have not failed in the publica- tion of our little crown The Counselorf' Anna Wych, '31. 4'- SQSYA' HI . - Y' 4 ' K 1 6 x ,J .,, tg, 'O qs :Z - f - I : i 2 W1 11 ---f-W f---'H - - f W . , ' ,-- V tl ---'ue-:fuzz-2- -''v-1 '::r '-''-- -H--'- -122''--'-'--:':'Lt.1wgwr-lf:-fH.

Sacred Heart League Officers of the League for this year were: President .. .......................... Stephania Krauklis Vice-P'resident ...... Sophia Fiedor Secretary ................................... Anna Wych The League of the Sacred Heart was organized at Good Counsel High School tour years ago to promote devotion to the Sacred Heart. It is also known as The Apostleship of Prayer. The special objects of this League are to promote love and reparation to the Sacredi Heart and to unite so thoroughly all Christian hearts with the Heart of God, as to lead them to fit to themselves all His intentions. Besides, there are also certain conditions which the members earnestly strive to fulfill. Meetings of the League are held on every first Thursday of the month. In order to spread more intense devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a week- ly procession is held by the members of the League every Thursday evening. Hymns to the Sacred Heart are sung during the procession which is concluded with a Litany to the Sacred Heart. The objects of this association are expressed in the motto Thy Kingdom Come! God's Kingdom on earth is the acknowledgement of His supreme majesty as Lord of all things, and the submission of every individual to His divine Law. Thus with this purpose and motto, the members of the Apostleship of Prayer strive to possess greater strength in their spiritual life and to implore blessing of the King of Peace on all their labors. Stephania Krauklis, '31, ST. TH ERESA'S LEGI ON This Legion, although young in existence, has grown to prominence in the school. The object of the Legion is to follow St. Theresa's Little XVays and to further the love and devotion for Her. A solemn novena is conducted before Her feast day. The Legion is gradually developing into a large organization under the solici- tous care of its moderator and hearty cooperation of the student body. It serves a real practical purpose, for, the members, reading the life and the Little XVays of the Patroness strive to acquire them. Besides, they are- confident that St. Theresa will win for all of them a deep and fruitful conviction of the unchanging truth, that unless we become as little children in the doing of our Heavenly Father's Will, we cannot enter into our Eternal Home. Sophia Sawicka, '3l. Page Seventy MOTHER OF GOOD COUNSEL CLUB Mother of Good Counsel Club, a religious organization has a two-fold purpose, namely: spiritual and educational. The Club, spiritually has for its purpose the in- crease of personal sanctification and the spread of intense devotion to Mfary. The love for Our Lady is above all the motive of the Club hence, the members assemble on Saturdays and Sundays to sing hymns in honor of the Blessed Mother. This Club observes the first Sunday of the month as the day of the organization by attendance at Mass, reception of Holy Communion and the recitation of the office of the Blessed Virgin. The members of the Club meet on every second Sunday of the month to discuss spiritual affairs. Various religious practices are discussed and suggested for each month, and a patron saint for the lnonth is selected. The secondary purpose is educational. and tends to develop among the members literary appreciation. Through its attractive bulletin-board, the organization brings before its members apt quotations, instructive clippings, club news ami religious inspirations, which help wonderfully toward attaining the goal. To make the Club more active and enthusiastic, as well as to develop facility in the public speaking, debates, addresses, monologues and various literary compo- sitions constitute the entertaining program of the meetings. The meetings are lively for the members show an increased interest in all undertakings of the organization. l'nder the direction of the chairman and whole-hearted efforts of the capable staff of officers, the organization has attained a great success and strove to answer the purpose of its institution.

At the first meeting held October 19th, 1930, new members were enrolled, and thc following of- ficers were elected: Cecilia liyba ..... .......... P resident Emily Wodniak .... . . . ............ Vice-President Stella Krzesniak ............................... Secretary Gertrude Zielinska ............................ Treasurer The girls met the first Tuesday of every month to plan various activities for the welfare ofthe school. Above all, they strove to develop a spirit of friendliness and cooperation. The club's activities opened with the Freshmen initiation. A short comedy entitled Sing the Song of Seniors, presented by the Senior class, stimulated the girls' interest in the Dramatic Club. This interest was further manifested after the semi-annual examinations, a time when it was most desirable. Wanted a Cook, a farce, a drill, and a monologue were presented. Enjoyment and satisfaction seemed to reflect on all faces present. Throughout the year, the efforts of the amateurs resulted in work of unique value. The crowning feature of the club's wcrk was the wonderful production Follow Thou Me, a biblical drama in four acts. The story deals with the adventures of Daniel, a young scribe of the Temple, and a follower of the Nazarene, in his efforts to remain true to his faith. Beautiful Hebrew and Roman costumes and the elaborate stage settings, brought the audience back to the year 33 A. D. Pontius Pilate is appointed governor of Judea. Beatrice, Claudia's niece, is a handsome Roman maiden with a charming disposition. Her presence at the beauti- ful palace in Judea, comforts Claudia who is bitterly distressed by the unrest pre- valent in Judea. Beatrice and Claudia are eaget to know the future and summon a seeress. They learn from her, that a calamity hovers over them, and that they shall encounter incessant hardships. With the appearance of Daniel, the scribe, life in the governor's palace changes. This noble and courageous youth reveals to his Jewish friends the story of the Nazarene, and wishes to make them believe in the true faith. However, it proves to be a difficult task, because of the misinter- preted ideas of the Jews, and their jealousy toward Jesus and His works. The mirac- ulous cure of Sara, a daughter of Princess Anna, and Eliakim, a favorite of Caiphas, somewhat influences Daniel's friends who gradually acknowledge the teachings of the Nazarene. Elizabeth, the suspicious and jealous maiden, is the only one who remains obstinate and refuses to accept the teachings of Christ and His works of wonder, but is finally convinced of the truth through the efforts of Daniel, to whom she is betrothed. In the meantime, Pilate's burdened conscience puts him into moods of malicious reaction. He is oppressed by doubts and fears, because of his wife's supplication for Christ's release. Yet, the demands of the Jews outweigh Claudia's petition. Afraid of being accused to Caesar, Pilate heeds not her warning. The fear of offend- ing a moral prince prevailed over Pilate's reason, over justice, the warning of con- science and even the fear of drawing down Divine vengeance, and in his criminal cowardice he delivers Jesus into the hands of the Jews. The way of the Cross be- gins-and reaches its climax with the Crucifixion. Daniel and the followers of Christ are despondent,-the Jews are triumphant. This triumph of the high priests is of short duration, for on the third day Christ arises from the dead. The infuriated Jews who feel conquered by the glor- ious resurrection of Jesus Christ vent their ire on Daniel, the scribe, and seize him and Elizabeth. Lucius who has become a follower of Jesus of Nazareth seeks to make retributions to Daniel for the insults heaped upon him. An opportunity pre- sents itself, hence, he hastens to secretly release Daniel from the hands of the fur- ious mob. He leads the scribe from Antonio's prison, in disguise of a Roman sol- dier who in the company of Lucius joins Caesar's army and returns to Jerusalem. Here at Pilate's court, they both meet Elizabeth and Beatrice. Lucius and Daniel publicly proclaim their belief in Christ. Lucius and Beatrice go to Rome, to carry on the work of evangelizing and protecting the persecuted followers of Jesus Christ. Daniel and Elizabeth go to Caesarea, where they establish a school and teach the followers of Christ. The players although only amateurs deserve special mention and honor for their strenuous ami ardent efforts in making the drama a success. The difficult roles of the drama have been mastered, and displayed the dramatic talents of the amateurs. To them we extend sincere congratulations. Anna Tomkowicz, '31, 4?

This year it has extended its membership to the entire student body. Any Senior, Junior, Sophomore or Freshman who has shown her interest in singing was eligible for membership. October 30-, 1930, seventy students assembled in the auditorium, and under the supervision of the temporary moderator, elected the following officers: Josephine Piorkowska ........ ................. P resident Mary Wachowiak ....................... . Vice-President Eugenia Ziemba ............................... Secretary Helen Eltman ................................ Treasurer The club has taken for its motive and years work the problem of making the school happy. And indeed, they have well answered their purpose, for the spirit of the school has often awakened by the ringing vioces of these youthful songsters. The organization held its monthly meetings in the School Auditorium on every second Thursday of the month, where dates were set for regular rehearsals. At the first rehearsal, the girls have recalled to memory and studied the dear old song com- posed by the students of 1928, entitled Happy Days. At the next meeting they set to the serious task of training their voices and preparing various yells and songs for the many school occasions. During the Diamond Jubilee celebration of the Sisters, the Glee Club in col- laboration with the Dramatic Club entertained the many prominent visitors at the school with many and varied selections. At Christmas they have prepared a pro- gram consisting of carols, solos, duets and monologues. This program was enjoyed by all present. The Club also took an active part in the G. C. 0rchestra's Annual Concert. Floating and' Drifting Tide and' The Seven Words of Christ were important se- lections rendered by the Club. It was the members' first public appearance of the year, and it must have been a success for they received many hearty applauses. Re- ligious programs were also a part of the Club's work. Thus on the Feast of the school Patroness, Our Lady of Good Counsel the amateur choristers sang the scho0l's most inspiring song: 0 my Mother, Virgin Mother, Sweetest picture artist ever drew, etc. The last appearance of the songsters this year was on the Seniors' Class Day, when they sang their last Farewell Song. However, this appearance did not thrill the audience as usual, but expressed whole-hearted regret and sadness of the de- parting Seniors. Let us hope that next year the Glee Club will again resume its responsibility of making the School happy with new zest and enthusiasm. Clara Kolacifiska, '3l. THE COUNSELIA Our first publication of The Counselia marked a new epoch in the history of the school. The paper is but the natural sequence of the endeavors and ceoperations of the Senior class that made possible this publ-ication. It was with appreciation and forbearance that we assumed the editorship of The Counselia. The purpose of every newspaper is to transmit tidings, yet a school paper must have some section wherein the literary talents of the student body may be displayed. Our purpose of publishing 'The Counselia was to give to the readers of the paper the best possible reading material, such as school activities, news, stories and editorials. We feel assured that the purpose was accomplished. and that the news was favorably received by all the readers. The Counselia was another expression of the aim'of the school, not only to mold the characters and train the students in the fields of classicsand sciences, but also to give an opportunity to the students to find work in various lines of en- deavors to which they intend to aspire. The Senior class extends its Thank you to all the members of the student body who, so willingly, helped us with our publications, and we also wish that the forthcoming groups will show their gratitude by keeping up the work.

The Good Counsel Orchestra was organized September 29th. 1928, under the supervision of Mr. Parker. F. lialilzky, formerly a member of the Chicago Civic Orchestra, was appointed a violin instructor. The thirty-three members enrolled, showed great interest by diligent practice. But Oh! the confusion of tones heard in the conservatory for the first few weeks! Yet, by December 3ltth, the orchestra was able to give its first concert. As a result, greater zeal and encourageinent filled the hearts of the amateurs. lt has so interested the other students of the School, that with the coming year, the membership increased and instrumentation enlarged. When the organization was but eight months old, it entered the Chicago School Band Contest and emerged with the first place in Class B High, receiving a banner of recognition. The year of 1929 brought us a new Director, Dr. A. .l. Prochaska, formerly a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. A second animal concert was given under Dr. Proehaska's direction and proved a success. The crowning feature of the 0rchestra's three-year existence was the concert held March 22nd, 1931. The rapid progress of the orchestra has been evident, and the members encouraged to continue their work. The School Orchestra entertained the Patients of the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, and greatly amused the in- mates of that institution. ln the course of its existence the organization has accomplished nmch in the field of nmsic. lt furnished music for all activities, social gatherings and amuse- ments adding greatly to their success. l'erseverance of the supervisors and the ef- forts of the members made the G.

Secretary Meetings were held on the second Tuesday of each month in the Biology Lecture Boom, at which interesting discussions occupied greater part of the time. Trips were made to the Field Museum, Planetarium, Garfield Park Conservatory Zlllll Woodlands. These gave the members the privilege of observing various animals and birds in their natural environment. One of the most interesting trips was made to Shedd Aquarium where the members saw such wonders as: the Blue Striped Grunt with its big hlue eyes, and the Squirrel Fish with, its, pink scales and pink eyes. The marvelous Blue Crabs appeared as little movable toys. The trip to Lincoln Park Avium, where they met thousands of various species of birds, provided the true lovers of nature a splendid opportunity to satisfy their desires. The Club was a source of pleasure, interest and education, for it revealed to its members the glory of our Creator Whose greatness is manifested in the beauty of His creatures. The members of the Biology Club are greatly indebted to the Teacher of Science who so earnestly helped us to success. Marie Smulka, '31. The Booster Club The Booster Club was organized at Good Counsel High, for the first time, this year. The purpose of the club was to promote the 1931 Counselor, and arouse en- thusiasm for all school activities. The Club is composed of a group of active, sociable and affectionate girls, of the Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshmen classes. Their soliciting abilities have been shown in the Ad and Patron Campaign of 1931. These energetic and loyal supporters have gone far beyond their quota, in gathering a large number of ads and patrons for the Annual. This was a great aid in making the book a success. Honor is due to them, for they have devoted so much of their precious time in strenuous labor to accomplish the task set before them. VVe admire them for the example of loyalty which they have given all other students, as well as for the en- couragement and loyal support rendered to the institution. The members of this club who have shown willing and sincere cooperation are:- Seniors Juniors Sophomores Stephania Krauklis Lottie Szymczak Loretta Motzna Anna P'utyra Sophia Fiedor Harriet Litoborska Helen Brodkowicz Mary Chrzanowska Eugenia Ziemba Susan Miotke Helen Witek Mary Galas Freshmen Lillian Ostrowska Collete Thelen Bernice Staniszewska Julia Kulacz Lucille Gorlewska With more such active girls as the organization has had this year, the success in the future is ascertained. Special thanks are due to these girls for their energetic work. Their cooperation has been a great aid to us. Thus, the whole student body of Good Counsel High, wishes to express their gratitude, by saying to them: HVVE THANK YOU.

Quality and not- quantity is what we represent. You may recognize us anywhere by our quaint and original ideas. The silent workers you may call us, if you please. Our sole purpose is to arouse en- thusiasm among the students, and this certainly was accomplished. September 12th, 1930, marks the beginning of this unique club. Even the place of organization and procedure of the meeting was known to none but the members. However, we will reveal the method adopted to select the name. Silence reigned supreme for a brief space of time, then someone shouted the name which the symbol - Ill H represents. Only the members know its significance, and they are pledged not to disclose the secret to any one. Tri-Itl' is merely an outer manifestation by which we are known. At the reciprocity party, the Juniors were challenged to try and guess the name of the club. lf they were successful detectives, they would become the heirs. Clue: If careful attention is paid to the Tri-It l song the solu- tion is apparent. Fortunately, the secret is still ours. Meetings were held formally on the first Monday of the month.

W swojej poezji, gra on cudne symfonje, pelne blasku ksiezycowego, pelne du- chowoici, smutku bezbrzeznego i miloici, graniczacej z b61em, bo Juljusz bardzo cierpial przez swa miloid dla ojczyzny.

Zmiennosci. Nic w iyciu nie pozostaje bez zmiany. Albo udoskonalid, ulepszyd, albo znisz- czyd, pogorszyd, to nieodwolalne prawo natury. Dowody zmiennosci otaczaja nas ze wszystkich stron. Szumiacy potok, kt6rego wody plyna ku wiekszej rzecc, stale sie odswieza. Taxi- czqce to wody w lecie, natomiast w zimic zamkniete W grubych plytach lodu. Wiatr wznoszacy sie i opadajacy-raz, jakoby szept zefiru, to znowu jak hura- gan niszczqcy wszystko co spotka wokolo, czyz nie jest ciagla zmiennoscia? W zi- mie mrozi, tnie, latem zas chlodzi stale. Drzewka kwitnace na wiosne, czyz nie sa w lecie okryte gruba zielenia? A jak cudne kolory maja w jesieni-na to tylko by liscie opadly i w porze zimowej, stanc- ly nagie, bezlistne, albo by otulily sie w snieiny plaszczyk. Kwiaty kwitnq na krbtko 'hy zwiednqd i opasd. Morze, chof: czasem gladkie jak zwicrciadlo, potrafi szaled okropna, destruk- cyjna burza. Ziemia spokojna, bywa rozdarta trzesieniem, zniszczona burzq, owocna lub nic- urodzajna, zmieniajqca sie z kazda pora roku a nawet z kazda godzina. Dzionki pogodne zmieniaja sie w pochmurneg raz kapia sie w promieniach slo- necznych, to znowu upusty deszczowe zalewaja godzinami, az ciemnosd zupelna oto- czy cala nature. - Z pod tego prawa zmiennosci i czlowiek nie jest wyjety. Od urodzenia do smierci, od dziecihstwa do pbznej starosci, ciagle podlega prawyu zmiennosci. Kai- da godzina jest swiadkiem juzto zmieniajacego sie uczucia,.juzto nowej jakiejs mysli rozwiniecia, lub jakiejs starej idei zatarcia. Tak polepszenie jak i pogorszenie jest prawem ktdrego w zaden sposbb podejsd nie mozna. Na miejscu stat? niepodobna. Idziemy naprzbd i w g6re, albo wstecz i ku nizinom-a zadna potega ziemska nie wstrzyma rozwoju w jednym albo w drugim kierunku. Prawda, ze zycie wiedzie ku smierci, ale rciwniez jest prawda ze calkowicie od nas zalezy, czy zmiana popro- wadzi nas ku wyzynom, czy tez ku marnemu k0l!lCOWi.

Ksiaiki powinno sie czytad najrozmaitszc, ho najrozmaitsza jest wiedza ludzka, a jako istoty rozumne, wszystkiem co nas otacza i co w kolo nas sie dzicje i rozwija, zainteresowad sie powinnismy. Tak, wszystkiem mamy sie interesowa6, ale interesujcmy sig zwykle najwiecej tem, co nam sie podoba-co kochamy. Ani jednej wsr6d nas niema takiej, kl6ra powicdzialabyz ,,nie kocham Bogaf' A zatem, trzeba sie interesowad wszystkiem co sie do Boga odnosi, co nas do Niego zbliia. Zawsze bierzmy do reki dzie!a war- tosciowe a unikajmy marnoty! Wplywy zlej ksiqiki na mlody umysl i serce sa strasznie zgubne. Czytajmy zawszc uwainie, ze zrozumienicm.
