IV ■zsM, - VI CONTENTS DEDICATION FOREWORD STAFF LITERARY ALUMNAE STUDENT BODY DEPARTMENTS DRAMATICS FACULTY CLASSES ACTIVrriES ATHLETICS VII V THE BISHOP ' S MESSAGE Another srholastic year has come to its close, and the members of another class of high school graduates enter the path of higher educa- tion, or take their places in the broad fields and activities of life. The publication of this Annual is a testimonial of work well done, of devo- tion to lofty ideals, of the hope that great aspirations may be realized. It is fitting, then, that a word of encouragement be spoken, because the pass- age from the shelter of the school to the busy world w-ithout often means a test of the student ' s devotion to the teachings and practices of her faith. If the heart and mind have been so trained as to respond to the de- mands which religion makes upon her, then, indeed, will the graduate face the future without danger. In our day, such training is needed as per- haps never before. Our civilization, with its glittering tinsel of material- ism, is not an aid to the cultivation of that spiritual life which is es- sentially christian, and therefore the surest bulwark of the social order. The secular philosophy of life so prevalent today is frankly pagan. It has little regard for the higher things, even when it affects to regard them with feelings of tolerant benevolence. The graduate of the Catholic high school must therefore prepare to be a leader. She must champion the cause of Christ in a world which has forgotten Him. She must cherish the old spiritual virtues and hold aloft the banner of spiritual ideals. Cultivation of the mind and heart, mod- esty in deportment, care in the selection of companions and amusements, Vlecorum in dress, helpfulness in the home, should be the objects of her care. She should be a loyal daughter of the Church, and exemplify in her life the fruitful garnerings of the lessons which the Church has taught hei-. In this way, too, will the participation in the duties of citizenship be directed unto the welfare of the state and society. As a token of my appreciation of the work done this year, I extend my warmest congratulations to the Reverend Superintendents, the fac- ulty, the graduates and undergraduates of the Catholic Girls ' High School. IMay the intercession of its patrons and the patron of our diocese, St. Vib- iana. Virgin and Martyr, bring to graduates and pupils the blessings of Heaven, and may her life and suff ' erings for the Faith teach them that not alone by material things doth man live, but by every word which pro- ceedeth from the mouth of God.

Just forget the rush and the whirl, the sin and wickedness, the speed-mad life of our God-forgetting age, and let me take you back to the days of the early Christians; to the reign of the mighty Diocletian, that pagan emperor of the Eternal City, whose dia- bolical persecutions could not weaken the ranks of Christ ' s loyal followers. I shall conduct you down one of the wide roads of Rome to a small villa, just outside the city. Here, in a secluded garden, the mother of little Vibiana told her the story of the sweet Christ Child. Here, with all the love and understanding of a pious Christian mother, she heard her treas- ured daughter whisper her longing for her Divine Master. So Vibiana ' s mother, putting aside all thoughts of self, encouraged the girl in her desires, and happily dedicated her, in the purity and innocence of her girlhood, to the Loved One. Then the burly Roman soldiers, breaking into the home, snatched the child from the protecting arms of her mother and dragged her before the prefect. Vibiana heroically refused to burn incense to the pagan gods, and her death sentence was passed ! Yet, there was no paling of her fea- tures, no trembling, no fear in her heart, for the sti ' ength of the Wine of virgins was within her. Even when this tender girl was flung into the Coliseum to be jeered at by the countless hundreds of pagans, and to be slain by a brutal executioner, her dauntless courage and her love of God did not leave her. Now we take up facts and we recall how the body of the saint was found. Inthe month of December, 1853, Pope Pius IX, of most glorious memory, oixlered excavations to be made in certain unexplored portions of the catacombs of St. Sixtus, on the Appian Way in Rome. Ground was first broken at a point about a mile from the gate of St. Sebastian. Fin- ally an entrance was made into one of the many tunnels of the under- ground city of the dead. There were rows and rows of monuments of Christian antiquity, but they were so corroded by the hand of time that they necessitated the most careful of handling. On penetrating farther into the passage, the explorers came upon a tomb closed by a marble slab, bearing a Latin inscription, which, translated into English, reads as follows: To the innocent and pure soul of Vibiana. The inscription ended with a garland of palm branches roughly chiseled on the stone. The tomb was carefully and reverently opened. Within was found the body of a young girl, near the head of which was a crystal vase of dried blood, which still preserved a rosy hue, and which, with the chiseled palm branch, proved that the grave was that of a Christian martyr. The discovery was an occasion of the most enthusiastic devotion in Rome. Thousands flocked to honor the remains of the new saint, as they called her. A number of bishops and heads of religious orders made strenuous but unsuccessful efl ' orts to obtain possession of the sacred treas- ure for their churches or cathedrals. The newly consecrated bishop, Thaddeus Amat, .sought and won the prize on the condition that he erect a cathedral in Los Angeles. The body was placed in a vessel bound for California. The passage across the Atlantic around Caix; Horn was stormy and dangerous, but the calm waters of the Pacific seemed to recognize how precious was the treasure borne upon its gentle waves, for the rest of the voyage along the coast of the two Americas was uneventful. The ship arrived in San XXVIll Francisco where it was placed in a schooner bound for southern ports. The Hght craft had scarcely reached the high seas when a ragi ng storm arose and it seemed as though all the furies were determined that the body of the peerless Vibiana should never enter the diocese in which it was des- tined to be enshrined. Violent gales almost caused the schooner to sink, but Divine Providence did not will that sacred relic should lie in an un- known grave at the bottom of the sea. After a long and perilous voyage, the body of Saint Vibiana was reverently landed on the pier at Santa Bar- bara. It was first conveyed to the mission church, where it was kept for a time by the Franciscan friars. Later, it was transferred to the parish church at Santa Barbara, and enshrined in a chapel. Here the relic re- mained until it pleased God to give another sign of His approval of devo- tion to Saint Viljiana. In the year 1867 the church caught fire, and before any measures could be adopted to check the progress of the destructive flames, the chapel of the saint was a seething mass. The people had resigned them- selves to the sad i-eflection that their sins had caused Almighty God to permit the body of their beloved patroness to be consumed. Imagine their surprise, when, after the fire had been extinguished, they beheld the saint ' s body lying intact amid the calcined ruins of her once glorious chapel. The body, encased ' in a waxen statue, and placed in a glass and metal sarcophagus, had resisted the flames as though it were contained in iron or marble. The silken robes, in which the Roman woman had so lovingly clothed the body, were not even scorched. The voice of the people declared that God had wTought a miracle to preserve the mortal tabernacle of His chosen one from destruction. In 1868 the body was taken to Los Angeles and deposited in the Church of Our Lady of the Angels. For eight years it remained there, until Bishop Amat accomplished the almost unattainable and erected a cathedral, dedicated to God under the invocation of Saint Vibiana. After the consecration, Right Reverend Francis Mora, then Bishop of the diocese, celebrated the first Mass in the newly dedicated cathedral. At six o ' clock that same evening the body of Saint Vibiana, on a suit- ably adorned littei , was carried by four priests vested in albs and red stoles, to its present resting place in the cathedral. The procession was headed by a Mexican band, which played inspirational selections of classic marches. The Archbishop and Bishops followed the sacred remains, and thousands of devout Catholics brought up the rear. The saint ' s body was deposited in the tower of the cathedral, over- looking the high altar, and the ceremonies of the day were brought to a close by solemn benediction with the most holy Sacrament. As the rev- erent throng knelt in fervent devotion before the sacred Host, surrounded by flame points of countless candles, and veiled by the silvery shadowed incense, it was brought home to their hearts that the great God, alone worthy of love and adoration, approved of their devotion to His martyred handmaid. Many graces and favors, both spiritual and temporal, have been and are continually being received through St. Vibiana ' s intercession, which is constantly invoked by large numbers. Vera Snyder, ' 26. XXIX CLASS HISTORY OF ' 26 On September twenty-third, in the year Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-two we, the class of ' 26, entered upon our war against Ignorance. We had successfully passed the milestone of training camp and at last faced the vista of a long and hard war. The first stage of this war was called the Battle of the Freshmen and Naomi Marciue was elected as general of our forces. Odile Weber was next in office, with Agnes Mann in charge of the financial affairs and Eleanor Forst doing all of the secretarial work. Our camp was situated in Room 8 in the old Cathedral High School. Many times during the ten months of our battle, we suspended camp duties for a day to enjoy our- selves as only those can who work hard. One of the earliest and most enjoyable, as well as e.xceedingly nerve- racking, experiences of our regiment was our initiation. Dire happen- ing.s characterized that day of dark mysteries, and even today the recol- lection causes a tremolo to be executed down the vertebrae of many a dignified soldier of the Senior army. There is no doubt that the slogan of today, More pay for firemen, is strongly sui)sci-ibed to by every member of the group. For, do we not all remember that da y of excitement, four long years ago, when a ruddy blaze was discovered in a building adjoining the camp? With no thought of personal danger, but with our loyalty to Alma Mater at the boilirfg point, we siezed a hose and laboriously tugged it to the third floor of our beloved headciuarters. From this amazing altitude we proceeded to deluge the burning structure. However, oui- ai ' dor was somewhat dampened by the fire chief ' s stentorian call, Turn off that hose ; we ' re using a chemical. The following Septeml)er found us on the second stage of our war but in a difl erent camp. The L. A. C. G. H. S. was our new headquarters for the next three years. On account of the increase in numbers we had to form four regiments. New officers, equally as capable as our first ones, were elected for each regiment. It was during the Battle of the Sophomores that we won our first athletic honors. Spurred on by the able leadership of our worthy basket- ball captain, Suzanne (;ill)oe, our soldiers won honors in everv game plaved during the year. Field Day found us again at the head of the list of vic- tors. During this year we attended our firs! retreat and it was in these XXX l. ? three clays that we received grace to push on not only in the War against Ignorance, but also in that mightier War of Life. Thus the sands of Time fell lightly. Another year rolled swiftly by and Nineteen Twenty-Five found us still fighting but nearer to victory. With an added touch of dignity we applied at headquarters for our com- mission (of war) as Juniors. We again carried away all the athletic honors and showed some splendid talent in dramatics. It was these farces and skits that entertained our buddies and brightened the monotony of camp life. The four regiments showed such splendid progress that we felt sure that the battle of the next year would be our last in this war. Art is long, and time is fleeting. We learned the truth of these words, for swiftly sped the weeks and months bringing us to our Senior encounter with an increase of duties. Our most notable activity was the Big Sister party given to the recruits who had joined the ranks. The editing and publishing of The Crozier was the crowning act of the Senior year, a year dedicated to the service of our camp. Oh, that memorable year of 26 ! Victory at last! A Treaty of Peace was signed and handed to each soldier as a fitting acknowledge- ment of his fine service. Claire Gambold was general, when camp broke up, with Mary Morris, Catherine Monahan, and Carmen Lucas aides- de-camp. Much have those four years accomplished for us. They have de- veloped in us a fighting sense of values, and taught us to count as lost that day Whose low descending sun, viewed from our hands no worthy action done. How well we have fulfilled our trust, we leave those who follow to judge. It has been our proud wish and earnest desire, through our activities, to add to the lustre of our headquarters, the Catholic Girls ' High School. Love and loyalty were the keynotes of our efforts, and we hope to be able to keep these same virtues during the ensuing War of Life. Isabel Dunne ' 26 Marie Robinson ' 26 XXXI v - ' ' XXXIl -v r CLASS PROPHECY THE PINK TOME After my graduation, I fell into a deep sleep, due to exhaustion re- sulting from my herculean labors during my Senior year. When I awoke at the end of the first decade, naturally my thoughts reverted to my school friends, and from force of habit I set out post haste for the L.A.C.G.H.S., stopping on the way only lonig enough to get my hair bobbed. My plane landed on the roof garden of what was now a twenty-eight story building, and the automatic lever took me down to the secretary ' s office. At my recjuest she directed me to the library where an exceedingly business-like person having received my thought message, handed me an artistically bound pink, leather tome. Making myself comfortable, I read, The Pink Book, Social Register of the Class of Twenty-six, by Magda- lene Schrepfer, .BA., M.A., Ph.D., Litt.D., B. L., Sc.D., M.S., L.L.D. Mag- dalene Sc ' hrepfer — ah, yes, my brilliant schoolmate, who had exhibited her legal astuteness as prosecuting attorney of the Phi Sigma Theta Eng- lish Club in the world renowned case vei ' sus the Misses MfLau hlin, Kenealy, and Macneil. This would be a worth-while record! The follow- ing is what I read: In this year of Our Lord, 1936, I shall endeavor truthfully to record the careers of the members of the class of 1926.

XXXV The Spirit of ' 26 Ho-hum-ho, anothor warm day rolling around, and . . . why, it ' s June already ! Impossible ! This calendar must be from the time of Noah ' s ark, but I ' m wrong for once. I can ' t imagine that my limited time on this sphere has passed the four quarter mark — September, October. No- vemlicr, Christmas, Easter, and now . . . June! Heavens! nine o ' clock! Ho-hum-ho, lead me to Room 8A ; now to the Study Hall ; back to 8A again ; now I will have to show my spiritish speed, for I have to go the rounds of all the class rooms before I make my last will and testament. That was just the Spirit of ' 26, all alone on the feast of the Foolish Virgins, at 2900 West Pico Street. It was here that the document was written. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT I. the Spirit of 1926, the representative of the class of the above men- tioned year, of the city of Los Angeles, State of California, being of sound mind and memory, having been duly vaccinated, and realizing that I am about to pass out, do make, publish, declare, execute, devise, and rev ' eal this to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills, bequests, and promises at any time made by me, that is to say: I. To the Faculty I give my deepest gratitude for charitably per- mitting the Seniors their diplomas. II. I give and bequeath to our Reverend Instructors in Apologetics the various examination papers, bearing the testimony of the heresy that apparently is rampant among the Seniors. I request of the aforesaid Reverend Instructors that the aforementioned examination papers be consigned to a permanent abode in the incinerator. Peace to their ashes. in. I give and bequeath to the long-suffering secretary the many books, papers, pencils, pens, vanity-cases, locker keys, and other goods and chattels that have come into her possession, and request that she dispose of them with the least possible ostentation. IV. With the sanction of the captain of the Red and White, I bestow the success of the illustrious, renowned, famous, and much honored S ' 26 capped basket-ball team to the Juniors. Furthermore, after considerable reflection, my protegees have deemed it worthy for me to impart to the Juniors their highly honored, perfectly preserved, exceeding colorful Senior sweaters, to be worn and used by the aforementioned Juniors only after the beautiful scarlet hue of the above noted jackets be transformed, altered, modified, and dyed to the quieter tone of deep purple, which will then allow the aforesaid to be worn as mourning for the dear, departed Seniors.

(St. Mark, 6, 31). Our Blessed Lord with His kind heart overflowing with love and compas- sion, gives this nvitation every day of the year. But how many heed it? How many seek the silence of a chapel and listen to a soft voice that seems to come from heaven asking them to come to Him? What effect do torn, bleeding hands produce? Sometimes none whatever. Today, modernism holds full sway over petty, frivolous minds. How few think of the Prisoner of Love locked away in His tabernacle? He is a Prisoner because of His great love for the majority who do not even think of coming to keep the little appointment made probably years before. Why did Jesus invite the seventy-two to rest awhile? This was their first retreat, and He wished it to be a time of quiet for His weary disciples. He wished to speak to His dear ones in silence and seclusion, so He took them apart — away from the crowd. And so it is with us — the retreat in our appointment with our dear Lord. It is a time when He wishes to have us to Himself, and a time when He speaks to our hearts. I will lead her into the wilderness, and there I will speak to her heart. (Osee, 2, 14). As Jesus invited His disciples of old so He took us into retreat — the oasis of the soul. He invited us apart — from a dizzy world- — to rest. Three days with Him served as a welcome relief from the routine of life. In His loving kindness He spoke to us as a Friend. He was all tenderness, sympathy, forgiveness, and love. During those quiet, peaceful hours, our holy retreat master. Father Sheehan, clearly pointed out to us the forcefulness of the eternal truths, leading us to insure our souls spiritually, in order to gain the priceless pearl of salvation. Strongly we realized that the richest gi ' aces are those He dispenses at the time of a whole-hearted retreat. Those days of peti- tion before the Blessed Sacrament, at holy Mass, at meditation, and at prayer, brought us to realize our faults and to ask our dear Saviour for strength to love and to serve Him better. These favors we asked through the intercession of one whom we knew He could not refuse — His most pure Mother, Mary — our tainted nature ' s solitary boast. And Jesus did help us. Even as the fire sent by Him upon His disciples on the first Pentecost, so did the light of the Holy Spirit come to us, to make our souls pure and precious in God ' s sight. May we all remain loyal to our retreat resolutions, so that on the last day we may follow Him into His eternally restful oasis in answer to His sweet invitation : Come, ye blessed of My Father; possess you the kingdom prepared for you, from the foundation of the world.

The sun, however, was broken forth in its full splendor, and the crests of the waves broke in golden sparklets on the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea. Out on these dancing, foaming waves, the pleasure craft of the masters of the neighboring villas were being polished and put in order, anticipating the enjoyments of the new day. This was the only sign of activity. The wealthy inhabitants of Baiae were fast asleep, recuperating from the previous night ' s carousals, or preparing already for the banquets and festivities that would continue through the coming night and well into the following morning. But in the home of Serenus Quintus no such indolence prevailed. The few faithful servants who remained at the residence of this noble Chris- tion hurried about, apparently intent upon their tasks. In one of the chambers of the upper floor, Vibiana, the young daughter of Serenus and Constantia, was reading a letter that had been brought to her a short time before. The missive was from her father, and the news it contained brought quick tears to her eyes. Antonia, the dearest companion of Vibiana, had been seized at Rome and placed in prison. Since the last edict of Dionysius, the prefect, the Christians had been in constant danger, and Antonia was among the first to have been apprehended. She desired that ' ibiana visit her, if that could be arranged, for she knew not how soon her martyrdom was to take place. ' ibiana ' s heart was broken. Her lovely, angelic companion, in the hands of the brutish prison-keepers! Surely Antonia must need some consolation in the midst of such dangerous surroundings. For herself, Vibiana feared nothing; Urban, the beloved bishop, also wished to see her, and, besides, she would be safer in Rome, densely populated as it was. ttian at Baiae, for she had no doubt that she, too, would soon be given up to the prefect. Vibiana had shown the letter to Julian, the trusted keeper of the villa. He oi-dered that the chariot should be made ready, and that the servants should be in attendance upon their young mistress. After a short time all was in readiness ; a prayer for safety was offered, and the long journey to Rome began. The morning before ' ibiana ' s arrival in Rome was clear and bright. The ships on the Tiber were gaily decked with flags, for in the late afternoon the festival in honor of Diana was to begin. All Rome was agog with the report of the magnificence of the coming banquets and fejfsts. The next day Dionysius was to entertain his people at the Circus Maximus, and it was rumored that he had a new thrill in store for the spectators. In one of the beautiful homes of the city, Claudius, a proud pagan, was taunting his wife, Fidelia. Fine it will seem to Rome, indeed. Claudius, the prefect ' s favorite, comes to the games, attended only by his slaves. His wife, the ' gentle ' Fidelia, remains at home, caring for the household. He laughed scorn- fully, and slowly walked toward the window near which Fidelia was reclining. _ But Claudius, you know that I care nothing for your idle talk, still less for the gossiping tongues of Rome. And as for the pleasures to be attained by assistance at the ceremonies, — I wonder that the gods them- selves do not tire of your enilless, senseless, ciianting and dancing. If they are all that we ought to believe them to be, they should long since LXIV have changed this stupid procedure. FideHa spoke in a low, pleading voice, accompanying her speech with characteristic gestures. Your likes and dislikes! It would be splendid if the gods would order as great a change in the universe as you desire, and all to please the whims of a young matron who has become tired of herself, her hus- band, and her life. Claudius angrily strode across the room, and raised his voice as though to emphasize his next words. It is high time, my foolish little one, that you mend your ways. Claudius must seek else- where for companionship when his dove will not please him. And I, for one, fail to see why you should be bored. You were not always so. You are becoming like these abominable Christians, taking no part in our holy rites, and refusing me, your husband, the respect that is due me. You may as well know now, Fidelia, that I have tired of your stay-at-home atti- tude, and your disinclination to adjust yourself to the life at Rome. It is as well for you to know, also, that there are those in Rome who would give much to be seen at the games with the noble, handsome Claudius, and still more, in the capacity of his wife. They would not spurn the honor of his presence, and, by the immortal Jove, they are not long to be denied. Fidelia sat speechless, terror-stricken at the revelations of Claudius. Impossible that her beloved Claudius should misconstrue her attitude, — Claudius, who had always been, until now, so loving, so gentle with her, who had worshipped the very ground that she trod upon. Until now — but there, there was the mistake. Now that she gave the matter some thought, she could recall more than one instance of his neglect. She was awed at the very thought; Claudius whom she considered a man above men, approaching the gods in his perfection ! All this passed through her mind in an instant. But she would not suffer his taunts ; she would show her spirit. Claudius, she began severely, how can you dare to speak so to me? Do you dare to attempt such base treachery? You shall not carry out your intentions ; I will show you and Rome that you ai-e wrong. I will allow no one to usurp my place, and I will not be cast aside so easily. So you may know, my master, that I intend to accompany you to the ceremonies tonight. It shall not be said that Fidelia neglects her duty, for Rome shall have no cause for gossip. She rose with dignity, and walked majestically from the room. Claudius was not to be satisfied so easily. Already his fickle heart was fixed on the sweet young maiden whom he met at the last banquet of Lucullus. Fidelia should not stand in his way if he chose to have his own desires fulfilled. And with a chuckle he left the room. Just at dawn of the fifth morning after leaving Baiae, Vibiana and her company were travelling slowly through the narrow streets of Rome. They had come quickly, but on reaching the outskirts of the Eternal City Julian advised that they proceed more slowly, in order to allay suspicion. The streets were deserted except for the few patricians who were return- ing from the symposia that had been prolonged until daybreak. The still- ness was broken by loud voices from a passage way close at hand. Vibiana ordered the chariot to a stop, and all became quiet. Then the voices came again through the semi-darkness ; one was a deep voice, betraying its master ' s indulgence in the wines of Tuscany. The other voice was soft and low, hushing the first speaker who then said loudly, Fidelia, you are a fool, and I am a greater one to have believed your promises. I might have known that you would start your haggling as soon as the night was half gone. I shall never again dare to show LXV my face in the halls of Lucullus. after the manner in which you spoke to him and the rest of the party. Hush. Claudius! You would awaken Morpheus himself with your insane bellowings. If you continue to voice your displeasure so loudly, you will have every inhabitant of the slave (luarters at your heels. Ser- vants are ever as anxious as their masters to hear a choice hit of scandal. I will not hush. You speak of displeasure? You will know that it is more than displeasure that ails me! Then a woman ' s voice, screaming, rent the air. Vibiana ordered Julian to accost the gentleman who was, apparently, bound on mischief, and .sent Miriam, her companion, to see what had befallen the unknown Fidelia. They returned, supporting the unconscious woman, and Julian ordered Claudius ' servants to see that he reached home safely after the brawl. Vibiana took Fidelia to her own apartments near at hand ; when Fidelia recovered consciousness, she told Vibiana the entire story and ended her recital with a vow never again should she be known as the wife of Claudius, brute that he was. Vibiana attempted to soothe her hysterical exclamations. , Fidelia, — for I know you by no other name, — I am truly sorry for you. Claudius is, no doubt, all that you say, but do not think that you are alone in your sorrow in this city of Rome. Affairs here are come to such a pass that marriage means nothing at all. Love and affection do not enter into the contract, and so any sacredness that might have existed heretofore has disappeared. Di- vorces are granted right and left, with no thought of the conseciuence to the individual. And oh, the difference between this and our sublime doctrine, ' What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder ' . Fidelia ' s cynical tones broke in upon her speech, Such a doctrine wouki indeed be the greatest thing in the world. But where, in our Roman lands, can you point it out to me ' ? The gods themselves are , untrue; can they expect us to remain faithful to mortals? Oh, l)ut such a sublime doctrine does exist. You must believe me; I would not speak falsely to you in a matter of such importance. I do not know whether or not to believe, but you have been so kind and good to me that I shall. And will you tell me where to find it? Where is this principle, so new, and yet one that we have needed so liadly, and for such a long time? Fidelia questioned the Christian maiden, and her eyes burned with desire for knowledge of this marvelous belief. I must soon go home, — I should have gone before, but will you tell what I wish to know? Not now, I am afraid; however, will you return late this afternoon? I shall see that you are consoled with our comforting beliefs. Fidelia left Vibiana with a jii-omise to come back later, and her new friend sent Julian and Miriam with her across the city. When Fidelia reached home, Claudius was inclined to be very harsh, but he called to mind the beauty and fair manner of the young lady whom Julian served, and he was anxious to know more of her. Besides, he was somewhat ashamed of his behaviour, for he remembered that the slaves, dogs that they were, had jeered when Julian spoke in a .scornful, yet dignified and commanding tone, to the nobleman who was the favorite of the prefect. Claudius was clever enough to realize that he could accomplish nothing by -- coercion, and went about his task cautiously. Greetings of the gods! So you have returned at last, my dove. I should, no doubt, feel highly comjilimented ; on the contrary, l am of a mind to be severe. However, if you will tell nu ' where you have been, and the name of your pretty rescuer, I might i)i ' induced to allow you to go i.xvi free. By Hercules! She was fair enough to make Venus envio us! Come, come, speak to me. Who was the young lady? Fidelia answered calmly, speaking slowly and distinctly, Yes, I have returned. Just how long I shall remain is for you to determine by your conduct. That I have come back at all is due to the influence of the girl whom you call my ' pretty rescuer. ' Were it not for her, Claudius should now be searching for another to accompany him to his games. Aye, wince if you will ; I, too, have a will of my own. You may rule me, but inwardly I shall be fretting, and, the opportunity presenting itself, Fidelia shall fly away, never to return. Yes, you may thank Vibiana. Vibiana? I have heard of her before. Is she not the daughter of Serenus Quintus, the Serenus who is so set on my downfall? You may say that I am imagining things, but I will tell you it is so. She shall be one medium through which I can get hold on him. However, I must see this Vibiana, and you, boastful Fidelia, — you had better look to your laurels. Fidelia answered scornfully, Look to my laurels indeed ! Vibiana is a noble maiden, and she would not cast a second glance upon you. She is a marvelous girl, — I am sure she must be a good goddess in disguise. Oh, I tell you, Claudius, have a care how you approach her, for she is no ordinary maiden. The light of purity beams from her countenance ; one feels exalted in her very presence. She is beautiful beyond human meas- urement. Do not try to harm her; she has done you no harm. Claudius ' answer was quick: Harm her? I would do the poor child no wrong. But see here, Fidelia, we have gone over all this before, and there is no use in further argument. I will find out where she li ves, and she cannot refuse to see me, the noble Claudius. Yes, I shall see her this very day. Perhaps you will be disappointed, my noble lord, but I. too, shall visit Vibiana this afternoon, late. She has promised to unfold to me a new doctrine, — Claudius, she told me that she knows of a new belief exist- ing in this very city, a belief that seems impossible. She tells me that somewhere in Rome there are those who believe that ' What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. ' What God she refers to, or where He is, I do not know, but I mean to find out quickly. Evidently this Vibiana has the same far-fetched notions as yourself. As to her doctrines, — Claudius thought deeply for a minute or two ; Fidelia, your friend must be one of these worshippers of the cross. I have heard that they entertain some such stupid ideas. And you, a patrician, associating with a Christian? Claudius shrieked with rage, I will have no such perversion in my house ! Beauty and goodness or no, Vibiana shall suff ' er for this. immortal gods, how shall I propitiate your wrath! We have discovered a traitor, a member of that abominable cult. She shall suffer for her boldness. Fidelia, you will not leave this house. I shall see that Vibiana does not attempt to send other good Romans astray. Dionysius shall hear of this at once, and Claudius strode wrathfully from the room. Fidelia sank on her knees. Oh, Vibiana, she said tearfully, forgive me. I meant you no harm. Oh, may your God, whoever or whatever He is, forgive me. Vibiana, what shall I do? Will He hear me? Will He send someone to me, to teach me what you would have taught? Oh, I am so sorry! Fidelia shook with sobs; after a time she controlled herself, and retiring to her private apartments, she prayed, more calmly, that the unknown God should forgive her. LXVII Meanwhile Claudius was not idle. His high position secured him instant admission to the presence of the prefect, to whom he announced his discovery. Dionysius was beside himself with ire. Then, with a mali- cious smile, he ordered that Vibiana be brouyht before him immediately. This was accomplished without delay. The fair young Christian stood before him, an eager smile playiug about her lips. Dionysius thus addressed her: You are Vibiana, the daughter of Serenus Quintus? You are accused of having perverted Fidelia, the wife of Claudius, and of having stirred up anarchy in the Empire. What is your answer? Are you a Christian, or will you offer incense to the majesty of the insulted gods? I am a Christian, and, as such, I will never sacrifice to a mere makeshift, a statue that you call Juriter. My God forbids such idolatry ; He is not worshipped by the mere offering of incense. He requires of His children many mortifications, much self-denial, much suffering, and even death. I would not refuse what he asks of me; I would willingly give my life for Him, for did He not give His for me? Oh, if He would but take mine in return for His, how grateful I would be ! Never fear; if you are so anxious to die, I shall take it for you! You need not wait for Him! Have you no last word? Executioners, do your duty well. Vibiana knelt on the pavement in the sight of the crowd that had gathered, and softly prayed, Father, to the least of Thy children give courage and strength. Take my life, if it is Thy will, for all I have is Thine, since I have nothing but what Thou hast given me. I tliank Thee for the great favor which Thou hast bestowed upon me, Father Omnipotent. And upon these who would persecute me, I pray Thee to have pity. Soften their hearts and make them see Thy Face, that they may be one in Thee and Thou mayest be One in them. Take my life, but give light and life to their souls, that they may know Thy goodness, and love Thee with Thy servants forever. Amen. I am ready. She bowed her head; one stroke, and in that moment another pure soul stood before the throne of the Almighty, sing- ing His praises and giving homage to the Sacred Heart that loved men -so much as to give Its holy life blood for them. In the Roman moonlight Claudius stood gazing at the tawny waters of the Tiber. Oh unknown God of Vibiana! he mused. I was not worthy of her. I think — I think that I— shall go back to Fidelia!

Dido and lior newly acquired husband were feasting in their gorgeous haniiuet hall. Clad in a jasmine robe of sheerest silk, the Carthaginian (lueen reclined on a couch of crimson velvet. Her con- sort, resplendent in a mantle of royal purple, and crowned with a laurel wreath, carefully observed a fly artfully maneuvering on the edge of a massive ball of burnished gold that hung from the middle of the ceiling. Occasionally the insect was obstructed in its wanderings by the great opalescent stones that were so generously sprinkled over the s])herical surface. That, declared . neas, pointing to the restless object of his studies, belongs to the species Musca domestica diptera. They obtain their full growth within ten days. Some of them hibernate during — Darling, you bore me, murmured Dido, and she gazed at her very soft, heavily-jeweled hands. Does that mean you are in a receptive mood? he demanded. Oh you, who are the light of my happy days, what do you want now? Dido put the question by way of a retort. jEneas squirmed uncomfortably, reached for an overstuffed olive, and cautiously ventured, To be perfectly frank. Dido, yesterday I had the most nerve-racking, hair-raising experience I ' d ever had before. It fright- ened me more than that storm, wliich came on us so suddenly, while we were hunting. I tell you, it was notiiing to sneer about. Now, now, don ' t let yourself get perturbed. Just fold your hands, and tell Dido all about it. But . neas did not fold his liands. Instead, he gesticulated spas- modically as he recited his tale of horror. Well, as I was inspecting the walls which the workmen had repaired, , a great gust of wind rose from nowhere in particular, and rushing at me, nearly overthrew me. Then I heard a loud groan; the wind grew calm; and before me stood Mercury, winged sandals, cap, wand, and all! O mirabile dictu ! Immediately he started thundering all over the place, and raved and ranted so uproariously I could scarcely understand him. Any- how, I made out this much of his lecture. It seems that old Jupiter was very much incensed about our mariMage, and he sent Mercury down to inform me that he was getting more infuriated every minute. yl ]neas paused expectantly . . . But why should he be upset? asked Dido, her lovely features marred by a frown. You see, it ' s this way, Eneas sententiously explained. After Troy fell, I consulted the Sibyl, and she told me to seek the land from which my race had spi ' ung. My pater informed me that Italy was the i)lace. Now, Jupiter thinks that I have forgotten about my great destiny, that of being king of Italy. He maintains 1 am not performing my duty. Dido ' s eyes begin to blaze. I don ' t see how he got that idea, she burst out angrily. I — we ' re old enough to know our own minds. But go on, — what el.se did his trusty messenger have to say? That ' s about all, exceiit that he advised me to go to Italy, post _ haste. And ■•1 ' .neas ended his tale rather lamely. He glanced apjire- hensively at his (|ueen. It surjjrised him to note that her anger had seem- ingly disappearecl. For a time the two stared moodily at the expensive Persian rug be- neath their feet. Ascanius, Eneas ' young son, noticing their silence, ap- I-XX pi-oached Dido, threw himself down beside her, laid his head on her shoulder, and asked, Why the blues, mater? You and daddy look as if you ' re ready for the funeral pyre. Dearest child, Dido was all love and softness now, your father has found it necessary to leave me. He must seek the city of Rome ! Rome? questioned Ascanius. And why Rome? I ask you, dad, what ' s the matter with Carthage? Son, .i lneas unconsciously assumed the role of the stern parent, never question the decision of your elders. My reasons for leaving this city are very weighty. You may rest yourself on that point. The com- manding voice of duty is calling me. I must obey. Gov ' nor, all that about my elders is very excellent, but what about Dido? Do you think she is getting a square deal? neas was surprised by the wisdom of this son of his. He looked at Dido. The boys words had made an impression on her. She was being torn by an intense fury. Yes, she scorned, what of me? Do you think I ' ll sit quietly and let you make me a spectacle before my people. Never! I ' ll burn to death on a funeral pyre ! And she broke into a paroxysm of tears. . neas became extremely sympathetic, and covering her little hand with his, he attempted to comfort her. Dido, Dido, do not weep like that. You know I lo — . Cut! broke in a roaring voice. Do you two think you are acting? For the love of Jupiter, wake up! Put some emotion into that crying, Dido. And v?Eneas, your dramatic powers haven ' t as much strength as a can of condensed milk! It ' s a wonder you wouldn ' t get a Latin text book and find out how Vergil intended this scene to be put over. Then the director, dismissing the camera man with a nod, turned on his heel, and left Dido and . Eneas staring hopelessly after him. Vera Snyder ' 26. STUDY HALL Like a bevy of bees, they ' re so busy With tongues just a flying along; And the laughs, they are smothered and hidden On lips that are framing a song.

But she ' s wise to their talk and their laughter; She ' s wise to a good many things. For she once was a girl in a study. And their giggles, a fond memory brings. Catherine Coyle ' 27. LXXI - THE UNKNOWN MARTYR Over the mountains came stealing The crisp rosy freshness of dawn. The birds slightly stirred in the treetops As feet passed beneath and went on. These were the Christians returning From underground churches and Mass. All nature rejoiced with these people; Once more unmolested they pass. After these faithful, came slowly A girl in the .spring of her years. In rapture proceeding witli head bent, And in her bright eyes there were tears. Today she had knelt with two others Before the high altar of God, Denouncing the world and its pleasures That the road to perfection be trod. As she blissfully walked through the fields, Behind she was sure she had heard The measured tread of a soldier. There was something within her that stirred. She turned and before her advancing, A man with the hardness of years Written deep in the furrows. As he spake He confirmed the worst of her fears. Was it fears that I said? Rather gladness! For to her certain death held no grief. In leaving the worUl ' s cares behind her Heaven opened the gates to relief. And wasn ' t it this very morning She had given her heart full of love, And asked that she might, though unworthy, Be united with her Spouse up above! Oh Lord let me suffer she whispered, I et me sufl ' er as Thou didst for me. And when my short trials are ended Only speak, I will come willingly. But little she dreamed at that moment. That God would so soon hear her prayer. That the Caesar had sent forth a soldier To seize and to capture her there. I. XXII Before the stern judge she was taken With irons clasped around her fair hands. Her ankles were bruised and bleeding From chains and the tortuous bands. Thou shalt live if thou will but burn incense At the shrine of the gods, was his cry. But she said, The true God I have lived for, And for the true God will I die. She returned to her prison undaunted. And there to her joy once again She received the Sti ' ength of the Martyrs, The Creator and God of all men. All day and the night that then followed, She prayed as the saints only pray. For the time set for her execution Was at dawn of the following day. ' Neath the stai s that still shone in the heavens She knelt with her hands on her breast, W hile her quivering sides were all blistered By the heat of the irons ' gainst her pressed. No murmur except a faint sighing, The taunts of her captors defied. She passed from this earth up to heaven, By a stroke of the sword she had died. As the sun rose above the first hilltops And all the earth sparkled with dew. As the birds stirred again in the treetops And started their singing anew, The blood of the martyr seemed burning. And all the arena on fire. She had passed to her Spouse up in Heaven And suffered, as was her desire. Virginia Daugherty ' 28. LXXIII POEMS ON TREES Have you the soul of a poet ? Perhaps you are inarticulate, yet ap- preciative of thoughts as expressed by others. In reading, have you possibly come across some passage, some stanza that expresses e xactly what you yourself feel but are powerless to word appropriately? That is the explanation of true poetry. The urge of self-expression is reflected in nature — it is natural that poets should seek an outlet for their emotions in portraying their charms. And where can we find a truer sign of God ' s handiwork and nature ' s loveliness than in trees? We are silent — unable to record our impressions, but others possess this blessed gift ; others can understand our appreciation, and, under- standing, proclaim it to the world in language of figurative beauty. How many of us have thrilled to the reverent beauty of our first love, Joyce Kilmer ' s Trees ! The lyric lilt of his lines has been immortalized, its charm expressed in music. The simplicity of his diction is such that even a child can realize a part of its message — a message that proclaims itself in the lines, Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Then there are Robert Frost ' s stanzas on The Sound of the Trees. The opening lines of this poem almost uncannily reflect the reader ' s own thoughts: I wonder about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than any other noise So close to our dwelling place? The fascination of the swaying boughs and the whispering leaves is most effectively brought out. The haunting charm of A. E. Housman ' s famous little lyric on the ' cherry tree is expressed with perfect simplicity in these four lines: Loveliest of trees, th cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. One of the most lovable of the many poems on trees is by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Its ex(iuisite lyrical ciualities are at once apparent, even to the casual reader. The theme of the virginal purity and shyness of the blossoming pear tree is developed in a most original manner, the more remarkable because the poem contains only two stanzas: In this squalid, dirty dooryard Where the chickens scratch and run, White, incredible, the pear tree Stands apart and takes the sun. - Mindful of the eyes upon it, Vain of its new holiness, Like the waste-man ' s liltle daughter In her lirst communion dress. Margaret Collins ' 26. i.xxiv A WONDER SPOT There is a restful spot I love A place that brings delight to me ; ' Tis but a small, rude house of God, Not built of fine and massive stone Nor any other fancy thing. But just a simple little church Where luxury is never nigh, Where love is rampant, gone is hate ; And with it all the things of earth Which tend to make us forget God. That place is lovely to my eye And restful to my very soul ; When in it, pride, and hate, and greed Seem far away, away from me. If sinners would to that church go And hear the simple folk at prayer Forgiveness for their sins they ' d seek And peace would be within the soul. Mary Cuming ' 27. LXXV THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE For the last hundred years one of the first facts in history taught to any child of American birth is that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declara- tion of Independence. With the exception of two or three trifling altera- tions interlined in the handwriting of Franklin and Adams, it is true that this mighty document came before Congress precisely as Thomas Jefferson wrote it. Who was this man who so capably fulfilled his charge to write a paper declaring the United colonies free and independent states? We find that Jefferson inherited his vigorous enthusiastic nature from Peter Jefferson, his father, and his sensitive, refined disposition from his rather Patrician mother, Jane Randolph of Virginia. He i-eceived as good an education as was possible in this state, attending William and Mary Col- lege at Williamsburg. About the time he entered college he made the acquaintance of Patrick Henry, then a rather unprosperous, unknown, young countrymtin, just ad- mitted to the bar, though profoundly ignorant of law. An intimacy sprang up between them, and when Henry became a member of the House of Burgesses, he often shared Jefferson ' s apartment at Williamsburg. From there Henry went to utter that ringing speech, on May 17, 1775, against taxation without representation, wiuch made him, for all time, fore- most among American patriots. The magnetic influence of this brilliant friend would have transformed a more loyally disposed youth than Jeffer- son into an arrant rebel. But no influence was needed for this purpose ; Jefferson was by nature a bold and free thinker. As he watched the course of public events in those years when the germs of Revolution were breeding and spreading in the land, all his sympathies were warmly enlisted S with the party of resistance. Jefferson arrived in Philadelphia after a ten day journey, and on June 21, 1775, became one of that assembly concernir;T which Lord - Chatham truly said that its members had never been excelled in solidity of reasoning, force of sagacity and wisdom of conclusion. Although Jefferson was then but thirty-two years of age, he brought with him a considerable reputation as a ready and eloquent writer and was justly expected by his counsel, his pen. and his vote to bring substantial re-in- forcement to the more advanced party. Although a daring writer he detested turmoil and confusion; amid wrangling and disputing, he pre- ferred to remain silent: it was in conversation, in committee-room, and pre-eminently when he had pen, ink and paper before him that he amply justified his presence among the three-score chosen ones of the thirteen colonies. In his appropriate department he quickly superseded Jay as document writer to Congress. In the autumn of 1775, Jefferson was again attending Congress in Philadelphia; early in 1776 he came home, but on May 13, 1776 he was back in his seat as a delegate from the colony, soon to be the state of Virginia. Events, which ten years before, had begun sort of a glacial movement, slow but powerful, were now advancing swiftly. Thomas Paine _ had sent Common Sense abroad among the people and had stirred them profoundly. For all prominent men, alike in military and in civil life, it was now independence or destruction. Virginia instructed her delegates ,lo move that Congress should declare the United Colonies free and independent states, and on June 7, LXXVI 1776, Robert Henry Lee offered resolutions accordingly. In debate upon these on June 8th and 10th, it appeared, said Jefferson, that certain of the colonies were not yet matured for falling from the parent stem but that they were fast advancing to the state. To give the laggards time to catch up to the vanguard, further discussion was postponed until July 1. But to prevent loss of time when the debate should be resumed. Congress, on June 11, appointed a committee charged to prepare a Declara- tion of Independence so that it would be ready at once when it should be wanted. The members in order of choice by ballot were Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston. Jefferson ' s name as chairman of the committee and the entire exclu- sion of Lee, to whom, as mover of the resolution parliamentary etiquette should have assigned the chairmanship is subject for much and interest- ing discussion that cannot be fully dealt with here. We do know that Jefferson ' s total abstinence from any active share in debate had saved him from giving irritation ; he alone, among that lofty gathering, was a man without an enemy. On July 2, the House took up Mr. Jefferson ' s draft of the Declaration of Independence and debated it almost continually until a late hour on July 4. Several verbal changes were made and a few stirring passages that too boldly declared our true feelings toward Mother England, were struck out by the more conciliatory members. During the three days of the discussion, while his paper was under- going sharp criticism, Jefferson felt far from cheerful. He himself spoke not a word in the debate. The burden of the argument frum which Jeffer- son wisely shrank, was gallantly born by John Adams, whom Jefferson gratefully called, the colossus of that debate. Jefferson afterwards took pleasure in tingeing the real solemnity of the occasion with a coloring of the ludicrous. Had not the weather been oppressively warm, the debate probably would have run on interminably. But treason was preferable to discomfort, and the members voted for the Declaration and hastened to the table to sign it to escape the pernicious horseflies from a nearby stable. John Hancock, making his great familiar signature, jestingly said, John Bull can read that without spectacles, then becoming more serious, he began to impress his comrades with the necessity of their all hanging together in this matter. Yes, indeed, interrupted Franklin, we must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. Amid such triflings, concealing grave thoughts, Jefferson saw his momentous docu- ment signed at the close of that summer afternoon ; he had acted as under- taker for the royal colonies and as sponsor for the United States of America. Jefferson injected the spirit of the times into his paper, a spirit bold, energetic and independent ; it is his marvelous skill in focusing in sharp, distinctive lines, the wavering sentiment of independence, that makes this document so great. Later it was accused of lacking originality, and of using ideas that had been used in half a dozen eai ' lier expressions of public opinion. These accusations were equally true, absurd, and malici- ous. It was preposterous to demand new discoveries in a discussion that had been going on for years. Jefferson ' s charge was to write a declaration of the will of the people, and not to invent new ideas of his own for publi ca- tion. The people had been mistreated, had suffered intolerable wrongs, and the declaration was to be a summary of their grievances against Bri- ish rule. The equality of men in the eyes of nature and the law, the inali- enable right of all to life, liberty and pursuit of happinss, the function of a government as a guarantee of those rights, its powers derived from the consent of the governed are the fundamental ideas expressed in Jeffer- LXXVII son ' s mighty appeal for freedom from the yoke of the tyrant. The Declaration of Independence was a fitting climax to Jefferson ' s splendid campaign for political freedom, and it alone would suffice to place him high on the honor roll of the founders of America. Its influence on America and the whole world in general, has been immeasurable. The natural rights of man is a doctrine old as time and government by con.sent of the governed, is the principle for which countless lives have been sacrificed and will continue to be sacrificd until a true system of International peace can be established. All criticism may be disregarded as trivial, for as Professor Tucker justly remarks of the whole paper it is consecrated in the affections of Americans, and praise may seem as superfluous as censure would be unavailing.

It ' s a wonder the lazy girls in this school wouldn ' t get busy and clean up their yard. Oh yes, I know it ' s lots of fun for us to be running wild like this ; but still, I can appreciate the di.sgrace of it, replied the Times.

Thf jiTit ncordrd imtamr ! th,- iif fhortJuind Ti-porttng. Shorthand was widply used during the time of the Caesars, and the pencil was called a stylus. The point was of ivory or steel, and the other end was flattened in order to smooth the tablets which were covered with -a layer of wax so that they might be used again. Economy was well prac- ticed in those days. The first system of shorthand, of which we have any knowledge, was originated by Tiro, a freeman of Cicero. As were many of the slaves of that time, captured from other nations. Tiro was highly educated. When freed by his master. Tiro adopted two-thirds of his name and became Marcus Tullicus Tiro. He was Cicero ' s secretary and was held in high esteem by him. Tiro must have possessed unusual skill as a shorthand writer, for Cicero, in writing to a friend when Tiro was absent, comi laiiied that his work was delayed because wliile he could dictate to Tiro in periods, he had to dictate to Spintharus in syllables. In reporting the Roman Senate, it is said Tiro stationed about forty shorthand writers throughout the Curia. Later their notes would be compared and pieced into connected discourse. Imagine an editor of the present day frantically placing notes together so that he might get a cer- tain speech or article in the morning edition. Shorthand was of great aid to the early Christian Church in reporting the trials and tortures of the martyrs. Many of the Popes and some of the saints employed as many as eight stenographers at one time. The successors of Tiro have come and gone with each generation, and just as Caesar ' s Commentaries were taken down by a stenographer so are the speeches of our greatest men today recorded with pencil and notebook.

LXXXVI _ ; lOYUSIK M LXXXVII DOMESTIC ART The most striking feature in the modern educational system is the emphasis placed on home economics. The solution of practical home prob- lems proves as helpful to a girl as the study of mathematics and languages. A course of this kind offers an opportunity for becoming familiar with the activities of the home in a way which is sure to employ the natural interest of the student. Too many young women fail to comprehend what is meant by home problems. If they could be made to understand that they are as worthy of thought as those found at school, they would tind them pleasing tasks rather than drudgeries. In this line of study, sewing plays a very important part. It is one of the essentials of every girl ' s training, pai ' ticularly in this age when taste and design are continually changing. If we would remember that years and years ago our ancient ancestors made pitiable advances toward civilization by striving to make their cumbersome clothes in such rude ways, we would be glad of the opportunities given us today. These prin- ciples have been reflected in our Domestic Art classes all through the year, and have, with the great variety of the work, kept the girls enthusiastic, and very much interested in their lessons. The purpose of the course was to give every one of them a knowledge of this worthwhile study, and its success in doing so is largely due to the willing help and able direction of their teacher, as well as to the splendid work of the girls themselves.

Its motto is Let nothing good be wasted, and its chief purpose is to safeguard human life. What more could one ask? MUSIC CLUB The Cecilians have had a most flourishing year. Besides the several pleasant entertainments furnished by school talent, a much appreciated lecture on the History of Music was given by the Rev. E. R. Kirk, Pastor of St. Basil ' s Church ; also a delightful piano recital by Miss Frances Bates. Interest was added by the excellent assistance of Mrs. Blanche Skeath, reader. GLEE CLUB The closing of this year reveals the rising success of one of the most promising organizations of our school, the Glee Club. Though it was only organized last year, it soon became an attraction to a large number of golden-voiced prima donas. The Glee Club sings at all imjxirtant enter- tainments, adding a greater attraction to the various programs. TENNIS More enthusiasm has been shown in Tennis this year than any other year. A tennis club was formed, and more than twenty-five mem- bers were enrolled. Later on a Club Tournament was held in which Nancy O ' Brien was the winner of a silver cup and Margaret Keefe the wiimer of a pennant for the second prize. Nancy O ' Brien, ' 27.

XCVII K ' jse McArtllf President ' Z ' y J JiJ Suzaniif (.lib 10 Vice-PresidtMii THE ECCLESIA Marie Robinson C«IesU Rusli On November 5, of this, the third year of the existence of our school, the Ecclesia, a debating society, was instituted. There was a clamant need of just such a n organization in tlie school, and tlie Ecclesia has striven to fulfill this reciuirement. Professor Conroy has been most genei ' ous in the giving of his valuable time and help and what progress we have made may be attributed largely to his efforts. We did not attempt any inter-scholastic activities this year but have worked on an inter-class basis. PX ' cry class in the school is represented in the Ecclesia by four girls who comjiose a class team. These class teams have rendered some fine debates in the meetings of the society. It is our aim to have at least one meeting before the Student Body, when the entire program will be under the auspices of the Ecclesia. We have inaugurated into the school an Annual Declamation Contest and we offer a silver loving cup to the winner. A primary reason for the existence of the Ecclesia was made most manifest in the Oratorical Contest of this year. Of the six contestants, four were representatives of the debating society, and the winner. Celeste Rush, appeared only through the efforts of the Ecclesia Club. This has been our work for the year. It is little more than the laying of a firm foundation, but the society is capable of great things for the future. We leave it for you to develope it to the realization of its greatest possibilities. Support the Ecclesia, girls, work for it — for your school needs it ! Rose McArdle, ' 26.

As this was the first time the all day plan had been tried, the innovation was on trial. However, it proved to be such a success that the members unanimously agreed to adopt it as a yearly custom. The day was begun at 9 o ' clock with the celebration of Holy Mass in the school auditorium. Father Corcoran was the celebrant and the members of the society received Holy Communion in a body. After Mass breakfast was served. The remainder of the time until 11 o ' clock was spent by the girls in greeting classmates, revisiting classrooms, and stroll- ing over the grounds. At 11 o ' c ' ock the business meeting was called to order by the presi- dent. The minutes being read by the secretary and approved, the old busi- ness was brought before the house and quickly disposed of; this included the reports of the social activities of the year and the financial standing of the society. New business was then called for, and a motion to allow the president to name the council was seconded and passed. It was also decided to fix the dues at $2.00 per year and to impose an extra tax for the annual bantiuet. The business dispatched, the election of officers was next in order. The results were as follows : President Margaret Deakers Vice-President Jane Keenan Secretary Anne Heidelman Treasurer Genevieve Ardolf Following the elections Father Kirk spoke to the girls on their duty as representatives of Catholic Education and urged them to continue to lead lives in keeping with the training they had received in school. At the close of his speech, the meeting was adjourned. A banquet was then served, during which a formal welcome into the Alumnae was extended to the graduates by Father Corcoran, Father Walsh, and the pi ' esident of the Association. A program of Alumnae and outside talent arranged by Jane Keenan brought the day to a close and everyone agreed she had spent an agree- able time renewing the acquaintances of Auld Lang Syne. The members assembled again in November for the mid-year dance. It was a social and financial success, thanks to the committee in charge: Jane Keenan Refreshments F ' rances McGee Orchestra and Floor Anne Heidelman Correspondence In April the council decided to award a silver cup for the best short story written by a member of the Senior Class. It is the desire of the Alumnae to encourage talent in this field and to establish bonds of mutual interest with these incoming members. The Alumnae at this time wishes to extend sincere congratulations to the Senior Class and to wish them success and happiness in whatever careers they are contemplating on leaving high school. The Class of ' 26 has distinguished itself at all times by its generous response to appeals made by the Alumnae, and we wish to express our grateful thanks to them, it is with a great deal of pleasure that the Alumnae welcome them into their organization.

The story described the artistic complexes of Cora, Evelyn Sullivan, and her cousin Frederick. Marie Leaver. A most unique complication arose fi om the fact that Cora was a comedienne, while Frederick was essentially the tragedian. Their mutual effoi-ts to stage Romeo and Juliet were continually frustrated by Aunt Polly, Marie Robinson, and by Frederick ' s irate old father, Rose McArdle, both of whom furnished much of the comedy. cv THE CRANFORD DAMES The CRANFORD DAMES were the gentle maiden ladies of a small English village in which there lived but one eligible bachelor. The prim respectability of their manner contrasted with the dainty lace and ruffles -of their dress made the dames most appealing. The well-chosen cast gave unusually deft and skilful interpretations as the quaint little ladies of olden Cranford. The dream sequence was most effective. When the dames were comfortably dozing, the footlights were dimmed, and a soft melody was played while two beautiful brides slowly crossed the stage. It was truly fetching. The play was based on CRANFORD, the masterpiece of Mrs. Eliza- beth C.askell, a noteworthy novelist of the Victorian Era. The book, a series of sketches of country life, is touched with a delightful simplicity and a subtle, skilfully woven strand of comedy. Those in the cast were Nancy O ' Brien, Margaret Luther, Pauline Lockwood, Carmel Saunders, Dolores Green, Julia Nugent, and Eileen Shaeffer. The play was introduced by Rose McArdle, who briefly told us of the author and her theme. X. cvi SIR DAVID SIR DAVID, the sequel to SIX WHO PASS, was equally interesting. Gertrude Gibney created a sensation as the King ' s Great Aunt. Mary Elizabeth Rider, Matilda Pellegrin, Frances Bain, Bernice Gilbert, and Ruth Church portrayed the same characters they had undertaken in Six Who Pass. Others in the cast were Theresa Res- tivo, the King ; Mary Angione, the Soldiery ; Margaret Mary Bisbee, the Population ; Monona Campbell, Sir David ; Marie Quinn, the Gate- keeper ; and Margaret Malone as the Mother. SIX WHO PASS SIX WHO PASS was a novelty. It was one of these simple folk-tales with no especial plot at all, but offering splen- did opportunities for broad character work. Marjorie Hotaling took the part of the Prologue. The Boy, Mildred Rider, and the Butterfly, Marie Ma- her, gave delightful impersonations. Bernice Gilbert was the much harassed Queen, while Mary Datzler inter- preted the dainty little Milkmaid. The plaintive character of the Blind- man, Mary Elizabeth Rider, the boast- ful braggadocio of Mime and the Headsman, Frances Bain and Ruth Church, and the boisterous nonchalance of the Ballad-Singer, Matilda Pelle- grin, helped to make the comedy a de- cided success. CVII S=gs2 SHAKESPEARE Two scenes from ROMEO and JULIET comprise one of the out- standing numbers of the January program. jMarie Robinson as Juliet and Marie Leaver as the Nurse enacted the scene in which JuHet fran- tically endeavors to extract from her temperamental nurse some news of Romeo. Following this interpretation, Marie Robinson, in the same role, gave a remarkable delineation of the character of the unhappy Juliet in the Potion Scene. Ophelia ' s Mad Scene from HAMLET was portrayed by Eileen Shaeffer as Ophelia. This scene was arranged as a monologue, which made the portrayal difiicult. Eileen was in perfect sympathy with the character she played and her presentation of Ophelia ' s desolation was in- spiring in its finesse and charm. The spell of Shakespeare ' s fateful heroines was broken by the divert- ing picture of the Wooing of King Henry V etched by Celeste Rush. _ CVIII ■Mta :--?- PRIDE AND I ' UEJL DICE CIX Celeste Rush Marie Louise Caselolti X. The initial presentation of the Dramatic Club was given as a Hal- loween celebration. The program opened with a selection by the Or- chestra, followed by a vocal solo, Thanks be to God, beautifully sung by Marian Crawford. Alice Murjihy and Nancy O ' Brien brought down the house with a snappy comedy dialogue entitled He and She. A genuinely funny interpretation of an Englishman was given by Celeste Rush. The gifted Marie Louise Caselotti captured the hearts of her audience in rendering some songs from the opera. A Play, HOW A CARL KEEPS A SECRET, was presented with an artistic and ingenious background. The plot involved a young girl at a Halloween party who tried to keep her engagement a secret. The cast included Carmel Saunders, Matilda Pellegrin, Mary Elizabeth Rider, Nancy Garrison, Bernice Gilbert, Mildred Rider, Ruth Church, and Phylis Sheridan. Though the lines dragged at times, the play was saved by members of the cast, the most consistently good interpretation being that of the maid, played by Phylis Sheridan. cx ..GHS r--i E G G cf , Q G hf a: ' _7 .- ' ' ' ATHLETICS - CXI V SCHOOL TKAM Mary Morris Man Fonter Clara nellc A)nia [Iraiicr Siizatnie Gillxjv (CajiUiiii) Marie Hilt CXI I CXIII HE C 3 CXIV cxv CLASS TEAMS SEXIORS: Suzanne Gilboe (Captain), Marie Hilt, Mary Morris, Clara Belle, Alicia Kencaly, Anna Brauer.

Her team has won the Inter-Class Basket- !)all championship for three successive years. Because of her graduation C.G.H. is losing a student who has distinguished herself as a leader in athletics and a comrade and friend to her classmates.

Hockey has claimed the interest of the athletic geniuses of our high school. Looking forward to the athletic interests of our school, the Student Body has purchased a complete hockey outfit. Our field has also been leveled off so the players can scamper over it with the fewest mishaps. Hockey has been so popular this year that it has been estab- hshed permanently in the athletic department of our school. CXVII VOLLEY BALL Julia Foley Madeline Hammond Clara Belle Mary Polansky Suzanne Gilboe Margaret Sines Bethel Brome Anna Brauer Alice Boyle VOLLEY BALL Because of a popular demand by the school athletes, volley ball waS played this year. A first class volley ball outfit has been added to the athletic equipment of the iiijjh school. This sport has furnished variety to the games played during the season. The interest shown in this game during volley ball season assures a continued, if not increased, interest for this sport next year.

But, this is certain — the score was: Freshmen 18 — Juniors 17. Success is the by-word for the Freshmen athletes. Margaret Wright, captain, received a pennant in the name of her team for their super-baseball tactics. The question now is, what next from the Freshmen? cxix TENNIS Mary Foley, Virginia Reynolds, Nancy O ' Brien, Jane Tanner, Marion L. Hall, Helen O ' Brien - TENNIS TROPHY One more Junior student bears the title Champion. Nancy O ' Brien acquired this title through her ability to handle a racket and balls. She plays a splendid game, and is deserving of the 1926 Tennis Trophy. Though Nancy met many serious oponents during the course of the cham- pionship tournament, her final oponent was her sister, Helen, whom she defeated 6-4, 1-6, 6-2. As tennis is Nancy ' s favorite classic, we expect something big again next year. cxx FIELD DAY The Third Annual Spring Field Day of the high school was held Mon- day, May 24. Contrary to expectations, the Freshman Class snatched the victory of the competitive events by scoring 27 points. Following closely, the Senior Class scored 22 points, while the Sophomore Class rallied with 18 points. Lastly, the Junior Class crept in with 6 points. However, they showed the real fighting spirit throughout the day. Arthemese Coutuerier, Freshman, was individual high point winner. She piled up 13 points for her class, and is one of the school ' s most promising athletes. Sue Gilboe, Senior, was second individual high point winner, with 8 points, and Anna Bi-auer, Senior, third, with 6 points. The following are the winners of Events: 50- Yard Dash: 1st place, Venita Wildberger, Sophomore; 2nd place, Mary Francis Bain, Freshman ; 3rd place. Bethel Brome, Junior. Sack Race: 1st place.

Feb. 11 — Astonishing results of Simplified Spelling Debate blossom out on bulletin board ! Feb. 12 — Basket ball game between Marlborough and C. G. H. S. Score unmentionable ! — but good sportsmanship is greater than victory. Feb. 1,5. — St. Valentine ' s Day program. The most attractive entertain- ment of the year was presented in the auditorium this afternoon. But the piece de resistance was the presentation of The Maker of Dreams, a charmingly whimsical fantasy in one act by Oliphant Down. The valentine motif was carried out in the stage decollations, and against this background the delightful tale of Pierrot and Pierrette was unfolded. The production was superbly directed by Mrs. Louise Prenot, head of the Dramatic Department. Janice Anderson, in the role of the Maker of Dreams, did splendid work with her rich-toned voice. Elizabeth Collins, as the droll Pierrot, sang charmingly, and Margaret Collins was especially sweet as the dainty, lovable Pierrette. t cxxv jjta if- Cthe crozierj ' HofT ' February 19 — Excitement is rife! Results of Junior Seminary Campaign Essays are revealed. Again our prolific pens have won us fame! The four prize winners from our school are: Bethel Brome, Marion Mc- Mahon, Monica Cassidy. and Elizalieth Gorman. February 22— Celebration of Geo rge Washington ' s birthday anniversary. Naiicy O ' Brien gave a splendid recitation on The Character of Wash- ington, and Tillie Pellegrin effectively interpreted the stirringly pa- thetic poem, The Revolutionary Rising. The speaker of the afternoon was Mr. Isadore Dockweiler, who ad- dressed the Student Body on Washington and the Constitution of the United States. He pointed out forcibly that love of religion and love of country are inseparably conjoined. In concluding, he graciously granted a half holiday. (40 min. !) February 24 — Oo-hh— !! Pirates! The bloodiest band of cut-throats ever assembled on any stage, entertained the Student Body at noon today. The dignified members of the Annual Staff chose this novel and most successful method of advertising Tag Day, to boost the Senior pub- lication, The Crozier. February 25 — Tag Day. The staff members are heartened to discover that the whole school is co-operating with them in their efforts to make the 1926 Annual the finest in the history of our school. March 2 — As a remote preparation for the approaching yearly retreat, Father Dillon addressed the Student Body on the topic of Self- Sacrifice. March 3 — The Seniors ' battle with the Sophomores for the Basketball cup. Oh! Most unmentionable of horrors. The Sophomores actually won! Can we Seniors ever hold up our heads again? Score: 30-24. March 4 — Retreat. Father Sheehan, retreat master, opened the exercises by celebrating Mass in the auditorium. The spiritual benefits derived from the three days ' solitude and meditation, will not be quickly for- gotten, but will remain enshrined in our hearts as the most precious days of our school life. March 16 — That the mem.bers of the Music Club are not only studious, but fun-loving as well, was demonstrated at their St. Patrick ' s frolic when much enjoyment was afforded all who attended. March 23 — Two luglily gilled young women presumed a most enjoyable program for the Student Body. Miss Frances Bates, a brilliant pianist, rendered several selections, and her interpretation of Chopin was es- pecially effective. Her companion, Mrs. Blanche Skeath, offered two clever readings as a divertisement. cxxvi THE CRC March 24 — Hurrah ! We have retrieved our lost reputation ! St. Agnes goes down to defeat, and the Purple and White once more triumphs ! The score was 24 to 9. March 25 — Father Fox, of Loyola, gave a most interesting illustrated lec- ture on the Passion Play at Oberammergau. March 26 — Easter vacation. Did it rain? April 6 — Not quite drowned, we struggled back to the House of Learn- ing, feeling rather apprehensive as report cards were forthcoming! The last lap is before us ! April 9. — Tryouts for National Oi ' atorical contest. Celeste Rush brought fame and glory to the Seniors by carrying off first honors. April 12 — Inaugurating Library Week. A drive to obtain new books resulted in good natured rivalry among the various sections in an effort to obtain the pennant offered as a pi-ize for the largest sum raised. 10S4 was the lucky winner. April 29 — Monsignor Chidwick of New York entertained the Student Body with absorbing personal recollections of the Spanish American War. Monsignor had been chaplain of the Maine at the time of her destruction. His vivid portrayal of that stirring night gave us a brilliant insight into the barbarism of war. May 1 — Many students attended the Mission Play. This historical drama has been presented over twenty-five hundred times, in the old San Gabriel mission theatre. It is almost a national institution, and one to which every Californian with personal pride invites his rela- tives and friends when they come to visit. May 3 — May devotions. During this month the rosary is always recited every morning, before the picturesque grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Somehow, out in the Spring sunshine, we seem to gain additional rev- erence, amid the inspirational surroundings of the shrine of Our Blessed Mother. May 4 — Father O ' Malley, pastor of St. Vincent ' s, spoke to us of the significance of the month of May. His lecture was given in allegorical form, and he brought out, with clearness and force, the futility of pursuing vain ambitions, . . . fool ' s gold — dross. We must learn to distinguish between the true and the false. Our Blessed Mother is always ready to guide us. Father O ' Malley brought out very beautifully how the holy Catholic Church recognizes and reveres her women saints. He explained clearly the part they played in God ' s appraisal and in His economy of the salvation of men. In con- clusion, he reminded us once more of the love we owe Mary and the tender love and affection she bestows on us, ever ready to help us distinguish the gold from the dross. May 13 — Picnics are in order! The Tironians and the Phi Sigma Thetas hold their annual outings at Hermosa and Palisades Del Rey, respec- tively. Those school girl complexions were considerably rosier for several days afterwards! May 19 — The biggest dramatic event of the year, Pride and Prejudice, the Senior play, was presented by an all star cast in the auditorium. Mrs. Prenot deserves the sincerest praise for her artistic achievement. May 24 — Annual Field Day. Beginning in the morning with various athletic events, and winding up with a splendid vaudeville program, one of the most enjoyable days of the whole school year was suc- cessfully brought to a close.

President, Bethel Brome ; Vice-President, Elizabeth Malone ; Secretary, Mai ' guerite Walsh ; Treasurer, Luella Barrett. Under the leadership of these new officers, the Crusaders of our school are aiming at a high standard for the new Queen of Angels Unit. On May 17, 1926, the Constitu- tion of this Unit was adopted. The threefold purpose of the National Catholic Students ' Mission Crusade is Spix ' itual, Educational and Material. Be a Crusader!

UNCOMMON SENSE A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men, And we must laugh to make life happy Or else grow sober and get liatty. So in this book we strive awhile To crack a joke, to make you smile, And if our yarn.s are not just so, Don ' t say they were saved by Noah But keep them for some easy mark, Who never heard about the ark, And you will find, without much pleading. That they for him are pleasant reading. CXXXIl Jfactsi anb jFafalesi Vol. I Date: When it comes from Press. No. 1 THINGS EVERYBODY KNOWS That the faculty likes to have the girls talk in the corridors. That the Student Body is petitioning for more school. That the Student Body officers are requesting the girls not to be so enthusi- astic about the games. That if the girls musi throw papers on the ground Mary Moyer is asking them to arrange them in artistic groups. That the successive gov- ernors of the study hall find the oppressive silence so irritating they are request- ing the girls to converse and move about to relieve the monotonous quietude. ANNOUNCEMENT We wish to announce that the Annual Staff having nothing else to do will re- main at school all summer in order to accommodate all those who just must tell us that the 1926 Crozier is perfectly gorgeous. HAVE YOU A ROMAN NOSE? It was during a discus- sion of what constituted a Roman nose that the sad (for the girl who made the remark) and embarrassing (for the girl to whom the remark was made) incident occurred. After a grave discourse it was decided that if one had a Roman nose one must be beautiful. Have I a Roman nose? inquired one of our enter- prising young students. Yes, came the answer in unison. It ' s always romin into other people ' s business, ' ' added one of the corpulent students in the back row. We are happy to repor t, though, that neither party was injured. Editor ' s note: This paper did not print the names of the concerned parties be- cause the editor values the price of her solid emptiness. When the advertising manager of the Crozier laughs the Annual staff quits work. DENSE It has been whispered in the columns of Facts and Fables by one of our very energetic students that this paper should use its influ- ence toward giving the students more latitude in exams. Therefore, we take our typewriter in hand to state our opinion on the above mentioned subject. But, to save space, we will only say that we would not kick about the latitude pro- vided they gave us a good longitudinal optical range. LETTERS TO FACTS AND FABLES Los Angeles — (To the edi- tor of Facts and Fables): Could any disinterested per- son give the reasons forcer- tain conditions often ob- served by the travelling stu- dent public ? Why are the freshmen owners of kiddie kars allowed to park on streets used by senior mo- torists? It is a very no- ticeable fact that said fresh- men are allowed to park on these streets which are so crowded by first year ve- hicles as to obstruct the passing and parking of lim- ousines owned by the sen- iors. Problem ? Why not start an ordinance forbid- ding the parking of fresh- men kiddie kars on streets used by the graduates. A Senior. SENIOR COMMENTARIES Celeste Rush; and she does. Dorothy Burns; no, she doesn ' t. Marie Leaver; well, she might. Elizabeth Jung; quite evident. Virginia Cheap; no, she isn ' t. Sadie Bayes; a contra- diction. Rose McArdle; not a gargle. Isabel Dunn; not dumb. Margaret Long; well, rather. Irene Glynn; she doesn ' t write. Mary Elizabeth Lamb; characteristic. P. S. What do you think? During the last of May the Annual staff concen- trated so hard on their les- sons that we became alarm- ed as to their mental con- dition. BRIEFS Thelma Conkey expressed her approval of how nicely things have progressed since she was at class last. Leona Vogt has become quite a famous inventor — of excuses. Well, Well, Well! Another year has passed. Have you? A good loser ia a bad sport. He takes from the winner two-thirds of the joy of victory. High School age is the time when you can ' t go to bed and leave the hero in the middle of a chapter. For the elucidation of any treatise in this paper see Editor during office hours: 11:45-12:30. (Try and find us .) CXXXIII ■V- NEW PLAY ENTHUSES AUDIENCE A standing - room - only house greeted yesterday ' s performance of the new play entitled School Without Exams. The title of th« play is based on one of Shakespeare ' s successes namely, A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. And if the audience had had its way, every act would have held up the show. As a matter of fact, every act did, suffi- ciently long to stage en- cores while the star of the bill bowed most graciously and smiled most charmingly in response to her many bouquets. All of which is sufficient endorsement with- out going into further de- tails. WANT ADS For Sale: A pair of wings found after last retreat. Anyone wishing to purchase inquire at locker 349. For Sale: A fountain pen by a senior half filled with ink. Found: A halo, owner please call at editorial rooms. Lost: The meekness of one of our most prominent freshmen. Finder please re- ' turn to office. Liberal re- ward. Wanted: Office boy. Ap- ply to Annual Board, room 23, between hours of 4 and 5. NEW CEREAL TO BE PUBLISHED A breath taking story, written by members of the Annual Staff, is to be pub- lished by Facts and Fables, a paper whose sole aim is the propagation of master- pieces of journalism. This thrilling story which is to be published in cereal form is entitled The Troubles of Newspaper Women. It will appear in two terrific parts and four terrible episodes. SEASON ' S SIX BEST SELLERS The following is a resume of the books which were found to be the mo.st in de- mand at the Catholic Girls ' High during the past year: First — Lessons in Non Chalance by Tillie Pelle- grin. (A book that should be read by all adherents of the nonchalant crest.) S e c o n d — Benefits Re- ceived from Teaching the Virgil Class by the Latin teacher. Third— C a t c h i n g the Last Car by E. Schouten. (A book showing the au- thor ' s great respect for dilatory students.) Fourth— Why I Didn ' t Expose the Other Ear by R. McArdle. (The only rea- son so far discovered was her fear of catching cold. However, it is a clean book with a moral). Fifth— How to Eat Spag- hetti. The author is anony- mous, but all lovers of Ital- ian concoctions will find this book especially bene- ficial). Sixth— How to Personify the Statue of Liberty by the Student Body President. (Anyone whose duties in- clude announcement making will find this book invalu- able. SOCIETY SMART TEA DANCE Among the attractively arranged affairs given this year was the Big Sister tea dance with which those who are soon to receive their academical degree en- tertained the plebians. The auditorium was artfully dec- orated with wallflowers and the hostesses and guests were frocked alike in an ex- quisite creation of dark blue serge. With their ac- cessories of belts and ties to match, they made an effec- tive picture. Slippers and hose of the darkest hue completed the dashing color scheme of black and blue. CXXXIV EXAiNATION ANNOUNCED Invitations have been is- sued by the faculty for a series of charmingly ar- ranged examinations to be held in the spacious class rooms of the school. The tests will be one of the events of early June al- though the exact date has not yet been decided upon. Honor guests of the affair will be members of the Stu- dent Body Association. THE ADVENTURES F DAISY CHAPTER X The office force had all left for home but faithful Daisy stayed to type some letters. It was quitting time, but Daisy didn ' t want to quit so she continued to type. Finally it got too dark to type, so Daisy stopped typing and decided to go home. She started. She stopped. The office door was locked. She was shut out from the cruel, cold world. So she went back and cuddled up by her type- WTiter, but it was a cold typewriter. So she started walking up and down the office and blessing the fates that shut her out from the cruel, cold world. At twelve o ' clock she was walking. At one o ' clock she was no longer walking, in fact she was standing still for the key rattled in the lock, the knob turned and in walked — (To be continued) An optimist is a person who doesn ' t care what hap- pens — as long as it doesn ' t happen to him. Just before the Annuals were distributed the Annual staff held a general con- sultation as to the advis- ability of jumping over- board. The Physics class has de- cided that the only way to charge an electroscope is to open an account. cxxxv APPRECIATION To the members of the Faculty for their valii- nble and much-needed assistance, to the classes for their generous response to our request for ads and literary contributions, to our advertisers for their unbounded generosity, to our photographers for their courtesy, to our printer and engraver for assisting us in producing a successful Annual, the Staff of the 1926 Crozier gratefully extends sincere appreciation.
