'IIHE SILVER CUP Tall and graceful in shape, it stands on a pedestal signifying high ideals of educa- tion. Uleaming silver lighted by the rays ot the sun brings to mind the sterling brightness of knowledge. It is an earthly reward for thought, labor, patience, and continual striving. It signifies an honor bestowed upon this institution of learning. Its voluminous depths seem empty but in them hovers the Spirit of Education. Large curving handles project on each side to be grasped by the hands of the willing. -ANNE INI.xeGRnGoR, '26. 1 9 2 6 Page I-frglllx In

I One scene that will ever stand before me when I recall the Retreat of 1926, IS i the one which I was privileged to witness on the evening of the first day. I came up 1 from supper and went straight to chapel to say the Stations of the Cross before night I prayers. It was the scene that I viewed on opening the door that was printed on my memory, and that I often see in my mind's eye since that night. Only two lights were I lighted in the rear of the chapel. The front was partially hidden in the dim twilight, broken only by the ruby flame of the sanctuary lamp, keeping vigil with the hidden Savior and typifying the Heart throbbing and burning with love for all who will come and watch with It. The silence was peaceful and awe-inspiring. The faint rustle of dark, white-veiled figures moving quietly from one station to another seemed only to accentuate the solemn stillness that penetrated the air. I Went to the front of the chapel and never have I seemed to be so close to God as I did before Him there in that calm, friendly dusk. As I went about, meditating on the sacred Passion, I think I have never had a mind so recollected for prayer, but suddenly, prestol the lights 1 were 'turned on and the sweet charm was immediately dispelled. -MARY MILLER, '26. 1 l l 3 1 x r 1 iff FI Hb FIRS I DAY OF LENT, 1926 I Today I gave up candy V For forty days or more, I For Jesus Christ my Savior, 2 The One Who111 I adore. 1 --IVIARGARET IVIARY FREDERICK.
