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

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.

founded on the Cross. For as Christ's Church was established on Calvary, so all works begun with a struggle always meet with success. THE LAY OF THE PAST SENIORS - 1933 Breathes an alumna with soul so dead, Who never to herself hath said, This is my own, my Marymount! Whose heart hath ne'er within her burned As back o'er Time her thoughts have turned To carefree days and friends who count? If such there breathe, go, ask her why For those past days she ne'er does sigh, Distant her home, great her fame, Yet Alma Mater holds a claim, Despite the distance, name renowned, She who once dwelt on this bless ground Loving and laughing, joyous, gay, Guided and strengthened for Life's stern way, Should oft recall her treasured Friend, And cherish Marymount to the end. MEMORIES AND MUSINGS - 1934 When that long-awaited day at last arrived, though sadness filled our hearts, for it is not an easy parting-that between an Alma Mater and a loyal child-we were, never- theless, unafraid for our hearts were overflowing with a great love and devotion towards Mary, our Mother, engendered in us by the loving teaching and guidance of our Mary- mount days. TO MARYMOUNT - 1935 'Tis not the first faint flush of day as it tinges the Eastern sky, Nor is it the twittering melodies of birds, as from on high They pour their liquid strain into the gentle breeze's sigh. Ah no! 'Tis not the odors sweet of flowers that greet the dawn, Nor long mauve shadows stealing soft across the fragrant lawn. 'Tis one pure gift, that like a star, shines down from far above, Enthroning you within our hearts - it is a Mother's Love. FROM THE HILL - 1936 Our Senior year was the happiest of all. The thoughts of leaving, however, cast many a grey shadow over the brightest moments, and Campus Night came all too quickly, followed almost immediately, it seemed, by Graduation. Our hearts were crying within us. Deep down in them we knew that our child- hood days were over, and that we were standing on the threshold of womanhood. The Academy years had gone forever. Oh you who have these years ahead of you, make the best of them! One H11 mlrerf Eigbf
