X' li R I 'I' ,-X S EDITORIALS I I.Ic,,LE,,,ccE ,Ecc,.?YI,,iI IEW c Ii A PERSONAL REMINISCENCE OF BISHOP KELLY I shall ever like to remember Bishop Kelly as I knew him when I was a youngster. This was before his many pressing duties as Bishop brought deep lines to that kindly countenance-lines of sorrow, toil and anxiety, but never of impatience, anger, or resentment. I knew him first, before his people bought him an automobile to show their appre- ciation of his efforts in their behalf. VVe used to walk homie every noon from St. Andrew's, and as I had to turn a corner before he reached his home, we often stood at that corner and talked. Frequently I was late to lunch, but what mattered that? I did not care to miss one precious moment of conversation with him. After he was given his car, he used to stop and drive me home. VVell do I remember how proudly I sat in that front seat of his Cadillac. His Ann Arbor parish was his pride and joy, and he often told me of his church and people there. One Saturday a card, bearing a picture of St. Thomas' Church, arrived, addressed to me. A charming little note was written on the back, ending with th words, Guess who sent you this. Somehow I did not think of the Bishop, but about two weeks later a Confirmation ceremony took place at the cathedral. I stood in the front ranks watching the procession, when as Bishop Kelly passed by, he leaned behind the priest who walked at his right, and said to me, Did my postcard reach you safely ? Then I knew. I shall ever treasure the memory of those happy talks with him. He is gone-but I shall not forget. May he rest in peace! -HELEN IVICKENNA, '26. WHEN ENGLISH IS ENGLISH Perhaps one of the most common and the most annoying things for high school students to meet is a piece of literature, apparently English, employing phrase after phrase of a foreign language. To a learned scholar to whom these phrases mean some- thing, no doubt the article is made more delightful by their use. But to a struggling high school student, English is dillicult enough to master without having to miss the main point of an argument because an inconsiderate author illustrated it in striking Italian, German, French, or Spanish. Early in high school we learned that the sprinkling of foreign words or phrases in English discourse is rather bad taste. VVhy then do so many intelligent writers ruin themselves for student reading by resorting to another tongue? If only they would find English just as beautiful, how many poor students would be saved nervous prostration and unnecessary ignorance! -CATHERINE RENIHAN, '26. PERSEVERANCE To some people perseverance is a virtue which means stick to a thing whether it is good for you or not. To others it means stubbornness. To some it means remain fast in your purpose as long as this purpose will benefit you. Perseverance is not always honorable. The man who perseveres in a position that is l10t constantly improv- ing him mentally, physically, or morally as the case may be, is not only wasting his 1926 Page Thirty-une
