EDITORIAL OF 1914 - ALMA MATER Not only will our memories of school days be always pleasant, but the name of Marymount, where the high ideals of Christian training were inculcated in our very souls, will always call forth a feeling of deepest respect and truest love from the hearts of her loyal children. The name of Marymount shall ever be engraved on our hearts, her principles shall dominate our lives and her holy teachings and influences shall guide and sustain us through all the coming years! I-Iere's to Marymount the Beautiful With her colors White and Blue! AU REVOIR! Au Revoir, dear Marymount, Oh! sometimes think of me, For in my heart a place there is That none can fill but thee! EDITORIAL 1915 Oh, Marymount! May the years bring you great happiness and prosperity, and may you be always loved and revered, as we, with the ardor of our hearts, love you! You have done much for us, and our debt to you is no small one, as we go out of school-life, into Life's School. Infroduring Ihr' juniors of '15 who make flaeir first appearance in the Hiamead. Just as clever as they're pretty Unremitting, kind and witty, Never shirking work are they ln fact they like it more than play QQ Orators they surely are, Renowned as athletes from afar, Such, and much more learned are they- Juniors, juniors-hip hurray! CLASS POEM OF 1916 Oh, School, our dear Alma Mater, Where lingers each loyal heart, We pause a while on thy threshold, And tears, unbidden, start. How sweetly these years have woven Around us their magic spell- Sweet hours of joy and gladness, But now we must say Farewell, Om' H1l71I1T0!1 Four

To Our Alumnae T is with loving appreciation and sincere pleasure that we, the Seniors of '37, dedicate this, our edition of the Hiamcad to all the dear Academic Alumnae of Marymount. As a devoted tribute to their precious memory, we have compiled the following pages. In the process of so doing, it has been our privilege to read every edition of the Hiamead since its first publication in 1913. We are proud to have thus made the acquaintance of the Pioneers! We shall soon be joining your ranks, dear Alumnae, and our one desire is that we may be ever true to the high ideals and noble maxims of our beloved Alma Mater, that we may prove ourselves as worthy as you have done of her vigilant, undying love. May your example of loyalty and staunch adherence to her counsels influence not only our lives, but also the lives of all those who have the happiness of entering her stately portals, therein to spend their Academic years, and may our souls ever reflect the peace and beauty of our Marymount Days! Foreword of the First Edition of the I-liamead 1913 E have been asked if I'Iiamead were the name of a pre-historic litterateur or that of a warrior of the Stone Age! Of course as the intelligent reader will al- ready have divined, it is a word coined by ourselves, composed of the initials of the editor and staff. Hope Irene Alice Marie Eileen A lex D orothy EDITORIAL OF 1913 - SCHOOL SPIRIT Oh, what a wonderful task before me-task almost impossible, when I try to speak--of the school spirit of Marymount! Our loved Alma Mater! There should be no feeling so praiseworthy, so great and above all so loyal as that which we feel for our school. It should be our aim to live bravely up to the high standards placed so nobly before us, and I think when I look among my classmates, I see this sentiment great and strong in them. They are filled with this loyalty, this zeal to make our school grow and become famous. Shoulder to shoulder they stand like soldiers ready to battle for Marymount, as all brave men who have died for their cause. One H1u111rf'd Tbree

But oft in the dim future In memory back we'll stray And live again the days gone by Oh, would they could always stay! Then, dear girls of nineteen sixteen As a class we'll meet no more, But let the word not be Farewell But rather an au revoir. EDITORIAL OF 1917 - RESPICE! Of the educational advantages there received, it is scarcely necessary to speak. The reputation of Marymount School is established far and wide. I prefer to dwell on the attention which character formation receives from the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. Ceaselessly, no less by example, than by word, they impress upon their pupils that a reliable character, strength and self-control in the hour of temptation, and unswerving Edelity to noble principles, are the distinguishing marks of true Catholic Womanhood. May we in the years to come remain faithful to our present high ideals! May we cherish as our most precious possession, loving, grateful memories of our dear Mary- mount! EDITORIAL OF 1918 From the beginning of this Year of War, we have been busy trying to aid our heroes abroad by giving them comforts, so that our love may surround them as a strong rampart of protection in every danger, until the happy day, when the Victorious Allies dictate the terms of a lasting peace. Then shall our heroes receive from our heart of hearts, a right royal welcome home! - MARYMOUNT - FROM AN ALUMNA'S PEN - 1919 I think I shall let things go their way at Marymount, but I shall come once a year as an old visitor, for I can discern that the spirit that has come, is greater than the spirit of the past, and that the new is the eclipse of the old. Go forward, Marymount, my tears are tears of joy. What I have I give you: Add what is yours! EDITORIAL OF 1920 - THE COLLEGE CREST In choosing a crest for their college, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary have endeavored to combine on its seal at least a few of the principles for which Mary- mount has always stood. Each figure has a special significance, the motto Tun luce dirige explains itself. The star over the cross appears like an incarnation of zeal, lead- ing to their reward those who follow the cross, the symbol of sacriHce. The heart of Mary typifies purity and the Fleur-de-lys is a tribute to France where Marymount had its birth. Vigilance and strength are represented by the half eagle and half griffen, and by the lion taken from the Butler coat of arms as a compliment to the Founder of Marymount, to 'whom we owe a great debt of gratitude for his generosity and zeal in the cause of higher education for women.
