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. Dafodils Nodding, swaying daffodils, How I love your golden glowg You beautify the sloping hills, Nodding, swaying daffodils. The April air your fragrance fills When the west wind softly blows. Nodding, swaying daffodils, How I love your golden glow. -ELLEN MILLS, '28,

LILIUM CONVALLIUM 63 You Do N of Take Enough Exercise QFree Translation from the Frenchj The incident takes place in the office of a physician of renown who, in truth, is merely a quack. A young man, pale and with a look of extreme fatigue on his face, enters the office and drops exhausted into a chair. The Doctor fro himselfj: Another anaemicf' QAloud, taking the patient's handj Let's see your tongue. Hum! Tongue coated! And the pulse--weak, feverish. QR,ising with an air of importancej Always the same story! One pretends to live without fresh air, but I ask you, is it possible? My friend, you see my fine health? Well, like you I should be on the road to the cemetery if I were to sit at my desk all day without moving. What you need is fresh airg you must take long walks to get strengthg you must be out- side as long as possible. If I were to give you a prescription of a half-dozen medicines, you would doubtless think me clever. But no, my only prescription is to walk, walk more, and walk always. The Patient: But, doctor- The Doctor: That's right, argue now! You know better than Ig yet, I repeat it, my only advice to you is to take long walks, several times a day. The Patient: But, doctor, I am on my feet-', The They all-talk alike. Doctor: Yes, yes, I know, like the others, you walk very much. Well, walk ten times more! The Patient: But, doctor, it is my profession to- The Doctor: Understoodg the business does not permit, etc. Granted! Take another profession that permits you to take exercise, health comes before all, by jove! And-what is your profession? The Patient: Doctor, I am a letter-carrier. The Doctor againf' Qdumfoundedj: 'Ohl oh!-Let me look at your tongue -FRANCES SCHUSTER, 'z8. A Recipe To make this world a better place, I-Ias always been a very hard ease. But did it e'er to you occur, When you wonder, fret, and ponder, That the trouble all does lie, In that great big letter I ?
