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.

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

THE HIAMEAD - 1921 How very few of us are aware that the Hiamead goes through many hands in many lands! It sheds its benign influence not only on our own Alma Mater, but from busy New York, to the state of beautiful sunsets-Californiag from the ancient cities of Europe to the sunny villas of South America, and even from the Arctic regions to the quaint isles of the Pacific. In short it makes a tour of practically the whole universe. DOWN THE CORRIDORS OF TIME - 1922 As the fame of Marymount spread abroad, it resulted in a great increase in num- bers, and it was decided to develop still further in college courses the distinctive methods and principles which characterized Marymount and made her so popular. The last public act of the late Cardinal Farley was the blessing of the Marymount collegiate property on Castle Ridge, Tarrytown-on-Hudson, June 30, 1918. EDITORIAL OF 19 2 3 Should any religious trouble ever arise, there will be no doubt that the loyal daughters of Marymount will rise to the occasion. This school may be small matter in this large continent of ours, and Catholic education may not have increased so rapidly elsewhere as here, but straws show which way the wind blows, and the wind of Better Education for Catholics has certainly started to blow, though it may seem now just a breeze. THE HIAMEAD AND ITS MEANING The Hiamead is a record of a very happy time in the life of each Marymount girl, and in the years to come it will revive the memories of our school days. It will also keep the names of the seven Marymount students who published its first volume in 1913, ever before us, a constant inspiration. We feel that they look on with pleasure at the steady growth of their school year book-a growth which they know would have been impossible without their foresight and enterprise. EDITORIAL OF 1924 - TRUE WOMANHOOD May the Marymount girl ever continue to cherish in her heart that the greatest charm of woman is to be truly womanly, and since Lowell says Earth's noblest thing is women perfected, to ever keep with love and regard before her, the image of the perfect woman, Mary. To persevere in' failure, to ever smile through suffering, and above all, to love much, for just as By a woman's love and sin the world was lost, so by a woman's love and innocence was the world redeemed. i TO MARYMOUNT - HIAMEAD OF 1925 And still, when evening gathers mists a-shimmer- And twilight drips all softly through the pines, Then we, as dreams draw near and day grows dimmer, Our hearts and hopes to Marymount consign.
