'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 . Elevators stopped at each floor to convey the students to their respective places.
