LILIUM CGNVALLIUM 61 W. A. Daly, B. V. Kelly, E. Murnane, and B. Lee. Father Kelly entertained with several vocal selections. Although the weather was unfavorable and everything was thoroughly wet, the girls' happy spirits were not dampened. May, a month that is dear to every Catholic heart, will in future years bring back sacred memories of our days at Immaculata: the daily devotions at the shrine of our Immaculate Mother, our May procession, and the crowning of our Heavenly Queen in the convent garden. It is a loving consecration of ourselves to the Blessed Virgin, and we feel that, as pupils of the daughters of St. Dominic, a saint singularly favored by the Mother of God, we too, shall be drawn under her mantle and p1'otection. Commencement has been set for Tuesday, June 8. The Reverend C. T. Gabisch, O. P., President of Aquinas College, will deliver the address. This year our Commencement Exercises will be different from those of the past. The Cantata Ruth , with orchestra accompaniment, will be presented. The Sisters and pupils extend a cordial invitation to parents and friends to be present. -DOLORES Posvaa, 'z6. --LUCILLE MCGOORTH', '26, To a Nightingale O pretty little nightingale, Tell me how you sing so well. I with joy your song will hail, O pretty little nightingale. Your music echoes o'er hill and dale Like a merry, tinkling bell. O pretty little nightingale, Tell me how you sing so well. -ELLEN MILLS, ,z8.

60 LILIUM CONVALLIUM The senior class of the Academy displayed splendid talent and ability in their presentation of The Coming of Geraldine , on February 9. The people who attended expressed sincere appreciation of the play and of the vocal and musical numbers rendered. Our retreat, which took place on March 3, 4, and 5, was an opportune preparation for the feast of our great patron, St. Thomas Aquinas. It was conducted by Rev. Father Philips of the Redemptorist Order. Father's instructions were enlightening, practical, and inspiring, and the days of solitude and prayer were for us a happy and helpful experience. The doll that Mrs. Sinnott gave to the school has been finally raffled. The seniors admit that Micky Lotta gave them no little worry, for they wanted her to have a good home and the advantages of a mother's care. We are glad to announce that Mary D. YVilliams is the devoted foster parent. To see her care for Micky , is indeed a soothing balm with which to allay our fears. We congratulate Mary Lynes, who won a prize for her Specialty Store Essay, and Agnes McBride for her prize essay on the Ancient Mariner in a contest offered by the Portland News. Immaculata is proud of Mary and Agnes. On Easter Monday the seniors gave their memorable lawn party. Loretta's mother, Mrs. C. P. McCormick, very kindly offered us the use of her lovely home for the occasion. All spent a delightful afternoon and were pleased in being able to contribute the sum realized to the school. The Lilium Convallium makes grateful acknowledgment of the Marywood Bay Leaf. This excellent magazine is always a welcome visitor at Immaculata. The Lilium Convallium staff extends sincere thanks to Miss Veronica Eulberg fclass izgj for the Ex Libris, which she drew for the present number of the Lilium Convallium. The Sisters and students tender grateful acknowledgment for many courtesies received from Mr. E. Curtin and Miss Gladys Rogers. Their kind assistance in procuring advertisements enabled us to publish the present issue of the Lilium Convallium. A generous friend, Mr. Ben Hur Lampman, has kindly donated to our library The Iesuit Martyrs of North Arlzericrz, by john J. Wynne, S. J., and Cbaiicefs Nu-us and Other Essays, by Sister M. Madeleva. For both we are deeply appreciative. The Reverend C. T. Gabisch, President of Aquinas College, gave an inter- esting address before the faculty and students on April 29. His topic was St. Catherine of Siena. Father Gabisch showed how the seraphic saint exemplified in her life the true Dominican spirit, in that she united perfectly a life of highest contemplation with one of marvelous activity in the service of her neighbor and devotion to Holy Mother Church. On May 3 the students of Immaculata enjoyed their annual picnic at Dodge Park. They felt honored in having as their guests the Reverend Fathers
