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.

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.

THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT - 1926 We have had honorable men and women in the past and we are going to continue to produce them, for it is in the schools that the noble men and women are fashioned who will be the directors of future generations. That is why both Church and State favor the Honor System of Student Government. TO THE FUTURE SENIORS - 1927 May your future be a bright one And your skies of fairest blue. May the stars that light your deeds done- Bring success your whole life through. TO THE SENIORS OF '29 - HIAMEAD OF '28 We'll say Au Revoir but not Good-bye For we'll meet some day again And then we'll recall those days gone by And long for the old-time friends. THREE STEPS -- 1929 A terror--great yet trivial, Golden days, happiness, laughter, Doubt, assurance, a timid smile- Victories, defeat and youth- All these meant our arrival. These our days at schoolg but after: Fulfilment, a deepened gladness, Sad promises and heartache- This is our departure - our regret. EDITORIAL OF 1930 What will life hold? Will it treat us kindly? We shall soon be in the midst of the seething crowd ever running, rushing after we know not what. The glory of Mary- mount is reflected in our souls. Her revered traditions are the powerful incentive to nobler achievements, her sublime ideals are woven into our lives like the golden threads of a tapestry. She expects so much from us, this dear Alma Mater and we will not disap- point her. The white and blue of Marymount, the purity and loyalty of our Lady, will be our banner. To us life can offer no greater honour, nor loftier dignity than that of being valiant daughters of Holy Church and true children of Mary and Marymount. . EDITORIAL OF 1931 Throughout our happy days at Marymount our one aim has been to please our beloved parents, to give them all the love and joy of which we are capable. Ever have we sought to attain the high ideals of Mary and her Son. Under the guidance of our beloved parents, we have passed from one school year to another, our eyes fixed on the star of their hopes for us, so that father and mother, on our Graduation Day, might be justly proud of our achievements. EDITORIAL OF 1932 A SILVER JUBILEE TRIBUTE TO MARYMOUNT Twenty-five silver years of blessed labour have made Marymount what she is today. In all her beauty and graciousness, she portrays a perfected undertaking, a work Om' Hznzzlrecl Swell
