D ARCHBISHOP OF MILWAUKEE Pledge of Loyalty to His Excellency Archbishop Stritch, D. D., Ph. D. M PEAK, Lord, for thy servant hearethf' These words, uttered thousand of years ago, come to our minds today as we again pledge our loyalty to Christis anointed one. Our young hearts, like Samuel's of old, are ever ready to hearken to the voice of the Lord, and, like him, we too shall be prompt to follow. Though Samuel in his youth knew not what God would ask of him, he kept his heart ever ready, and in the trying days of the Philistine attacks, God used him to bring victory to I-lis chosen people. Mindful of these facts and beset as we are on all sides by enemies not less formidable than those of the Israelites of old, we too feel confident that the pledge of loyalty which we now make God will bless our endeavors and bring the victory which comes with united effort. In utter trustfulness, there- fore, each and every member of Mercy High School says - Speak, your Excellency, for thy servant hearethf' 1 Page Three J mrarraater 4 Page Four I-hs EXCELLENCY THE MOST REVEREND SEBASTIAN G, MESSMER, D.

We fnd the sky dim as we gaze about, For one of the stars of the heanens is out, And a shadow of loneliness hovers around As we think of the one to whom we were bound. His heart was G'od's when still very young, A good branch, to the Vine very closely he clung. Wlren the call he heard no moment he lost, But followed his Leader, ne,er counting the cost. Glowing with zeal were those seventy years, To the call of the needy he lent willing ears. His heart, as we know, was true to us all, His hand held us steady lest e'er we might fall. He was summoned home while still far away, In the land of his birth his body shall stay. It was claimed by those who loved him dearlyg That his wish was fulfilled could be seen very clearly. His soul has fled, but his memory still lives And dearer becomes with the strength that it gives. The heads of his subjects in sorrow are bowed, And still. we are singing his praises aloud. Rest! Rest to him whose work is well done! 'He has fought the good light, and the battle has won.

With fear and trembling we entered the seemingly enormous building and humbly climbed the first and second flights of stairs, having no idea of the perils or joys that lay before us. In a few days we freshies were equally distributed in Home-rooms 10, 11, 12, with the inspiring juniors as our neigh- bors in Room 13. Before very long we found ourselves cruising up and down the Nile and the Mediterranean with Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, stopping at one time to consult the historic oracle of Delphi. We found two of our classmates on the Mercy Varsity basketball team, our most important game that year was with Mercy, Chicago. We also participated in a state dramatic contest, presenting The Gift . When Mercy won, the players were welcomed at home-that is, the players plus S 100 in gold and an immense loving cup. With a delightful and memorable trip to Washing- ton Park we closed our first year at Mercy. The following September we returned as sophomores, examples of diligence, scholar- ship, and classic learning. Due to the mys- teries of theorems and axioms, the erratic wanderings of Caesar in Gaul, and the oft- times unsuccessful butchery of frogs, fish, etc. in the biology lab., we found social activ- ities more or less of minor interest. Our So- dality was organized that year, and, thrilled by the vastness of Father Lord's undertaking, we endeavored to contribute as much as pos- sible towards its success. Basketball again took its place in our school activities and we cul- minated the year by playing our second an- nual gzune with Mercy, Chicago. Feeling very proud of the fact that we could take part in the graduation exercises, we sang the famous Nightfall in Granada , standing upon the equally famous bleachers. In September we again returned with high Page Eight hopes, for we were within one year of the goal of our high-school career-seniorhood. This year our Sodality work became more effective, for Father Lord's objectives were definitely settled in our minds. A debate con- ference was organized for the Catholic high schools of the city, and Mercy, with three of our juniors on the teams, walked off with the championship trophy. After having received our report cards joyfully we made our various exits. Our senior year at last! The Sodality again resumed its functions, and we were honored by the privilege of entertaining Father Lord as our guest. With all the joys of our last year came a great sorrow. One of our most loyal and be- loved seniors died on Thanksgiving Day.'In Ruth Leuckart every one found a cheerful, lovable, and friendly companion. It is enough to say that we will never forget her. In December, Mercy was the recipient of another honor. Our new Archbishop, the Most Reverend Samuel A. Su-itch, visited our school. A program was presented for him by members of our senior class. Again we took up the interesting debate work, and six of our seniors found themselves on the teams. Mercy tied with Marquette for first place, but was finally compelled to sur- render the championship to Marquette. During our student days at Mercy, there was one feature destined to play a consider- able part in our lives. This was our annual retreat which provided the necessary check- up and encouragement. Each retreat has been a great benefit to us. Ar present we look forward to our class play and graduation. We may safely say that joy always brings with itva few sincere tearsb. There is not one of us who is not proud to call Mercy her Alma Mater . l-lere's success to her, say we, the Class of '31.

JOSEPHINE KAVAGE '3l Page Eighteen gba gleam MP4 V The Miracle of The Grey Penitents HE Albigenses were an irreligious sect which denied the presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and scoffed at God in the miraculous trinity of His love. Louis VIH, king of France, won a splendid victory when he asked the Bishop of Avignon to have some public service to make reparation for the outrages that were committed against the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ. A great ceremony was held on September 14, 1226. The royal family and the whole city took part in it. Bishop Peter de Corbie carried the Blessed Sacra- ment to the Church of the Holy Cross, which was just outside the walls of the city. The king was dressed in a grey penitential robe with a rope around his waist. Witli a candle in his hand he followed the procession, walk- ing alongside the Cardinal Legate, surroun- ded by crowds of the faithful. On account of the large number of adorers the Blessed Sacrament was exposed for a few days in the Church of the Holy Cross. The king visited the Blessed Sacrament every day during his stay in Avignon, and the people, following his example, poured into the church day and night like waves of water. It became so crowded that the Bishop ordered the Bles- sed Sacrament to be put under cover, accord- ing to the custom of that country. This cus- tom was permanently established and recog- nized by the Holy See. During this time a society of brothers, who went by the name of the Grey Penitents, was established. They clothed themselves with burlap during this devotion as the king had done. Perpetual adoration was being held in the Church of the Holy Cross in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, and this pleased our Lord so much that He wanted to bestow some mark of honor upon the church. He renewed the miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea. The city of Avignon lay on the shores of the Rodan River, and was bounded on two sides by smaller rivers, very often it suffered from heavy floods. In the year of 1433, due to a continous downpour, the lower part of the city was completely covered with water. During the night of November 27 the church was filled with water. The superiors of the order decided to carry the Blessed Sacrament to a different place. They had to use a row boat to get to the church. When they opened the doors of the church, they were astonished to see the water parted to a height of sev- eral feet along the walls with just a passage in the center left perfectly dry, thus allowing the Holy of Holies to pass. The most start- ling part of this miracle was that the water formed a sort of sky above the main altar. The witnesses of this unusual incident were so grateful that they praised and thanked our Lord, who was commanding the heavens and the earth. They notified the other brothers of this miracle. On the first of December when the waters had receded, crowds of people rushed to the church and were witnesses to the fact that the books, papers, pews, linens, and other articles used at the altar were so dry that when cut there was no sign of dampness whatsoever. This miracle so aroused the piety of the people and the brothers as to crown its re- membrance with a yearly devotion, which is kept to this very day on November 30. The revolution of the irreligious sect of France robbed and ruined the Church of the Holy Cross, as also many other churches, but when peace was restored, this church was bought by a certain pious family and returned to the Grey Penitents. In a short time the Bishop of Avignon was given permission to restore the annual convocation in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, which is kept up to this very day. These public ceremonies were the beginning of our present Eucharistic Con- gresses. TRANSLATED BY ANNA Poci-iowsici '31 Page Nineteen jc. dbh'-K ' 6111? gleam - X The Civic Reception for His Excellency, Archbishop S. A. Stritch, D. D., Ph. D. Rcnsisi-lop S. A. Srrirch was cordi- ally welcomed by Wisconsm as a new and distinguished citizen and by Milwaukee as an eminent resident. The recep- tion was attended by thousands, this audience however, was outnumbered by those listening attentively to the entire program by means of the radio. Mr. Bruce, the chairman, stressed the im- portance of a spiritual leader not only to his flock but to the whole community. Governor Kohler welcomed Archbishop Stritch in behalf of all the people of the state. He said that it had been a privilege to know our recently departed prelate, Archbishop Messmer, and assured Archbishop Stritch of a welcome because of his high qualities as a citizen. Mayor Hoan expressed his thanlcfulness that a spirit of respect for each other's beliefs prevailed in our country. It is good that he has come to us. I am glad to welcome the distinguished educator. May he be our neighbor and friend until the end of his clay. These fitting words were spoken by Mr. M. C. Potter, Superintendent of Public Schools. Judge John C. Kleczlca in words appropri- ate expressed our spirit toward our new shep- herd. The speech of Philip A. Grau was very impressive. His words, We promise to revere and love him as you fToledo peoplej did and still dog we promise to malce him love us as much as he loves youf' touched our hearts. Oliver L. O'Boyle briefly recalled the list of historic sees filled b prelates down through the different-periocls of our country's history with Bishop Carroll heading the list. His Excellency's response was heartfelt and interesting. He attributed the trouble which exists around us today to the attempt to live without God. He offered religion as a solu- tion of all civic as well as moral problems. He hopes that the remaining years that God gives him to live may be spent in working for the interests of his floclc, in giving the best service he can render the city and the state- that of teaching the people the word of God and guiding them to eternal happiness.

Each Thanksgiving Day for the Class of '31 will bring tears to the eyes, but a prayer of gratitude to the hearts of the girls who have lost a friend they loved. Tears-for her going has left a permanent gap in the lives of each one. A prayer of gratitude that the Omnipotent God has found Ht to lift Ruth above the chaos of earthly suffering and misery before the gleam of innocence was snatched from her eyes.

D., Left Us N his exceedingly interesting address O His Excellency, Archbishop Stritch, showed us what a great influence for good or evil a woman can be. He stressed the truth contained in the old adage, The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. He showed us how to de- termine the status of any period in history: when the women at any particular time are good and noble, the world has been progres- sive. Before the time of Christ the model for womanhood was the pagan goddess, Venus, but when our Lord came, He revised the order of things and set up as a model for us His own mother, the purest of all creatures. His Excellency said the Church wishes us to develop into valiant women, the type Mother lVlcAuley exemplified in a high degree. He liked the interest Mercy was taking in cultural development and said that a Catholic girl should always be known for her refine- ment. His talk made us want to live up to our ideals. BEATRICE SALTER '32 We Heard The Pope! HY is February 12 important in our minds? It is Lincoln's birth- day, you may say. Yes, we'll agree, but for what else? Here with the ans- wer pounding at our hearts to be let out, we stop and let you guess. We become excited and impatient listening to wrong answers, therefore we tell you. We heard the Pope! Through a nation-wide radio network we were able to hear His Holiness Pope Pius XI, leader of all Catholics, give his message to the world. Catholics, non-Catholics, rich, poor, everyone, no matter who or what he mightbe, was addressed by the Pope. We Mercy girls assembled in the auditor- ium to await the voice of the Pope. The light chatter of the girls was immediately hushed when a voice called, aHello, hello, hello! We learned later that it was Senator Mar- coni, inventor of the wireless. When the cere- mony of dedicating a tablet commemorating the event of the inauguration of the radio in the Vatican was over, we heard the sound of trumpets heralding the fact that His Holiness was going to begin his speech. Page Twenty-four The supreme moment was at hand! Pope Pius XI began talking, slowly and in the Latin language. He spoke over the Vatican station, whose call letters are HVJ fl-loly See-Vatican-jesusj. This speech was later translated by students of Rome into Italian, German, French, Polish, Spanish, and Eng- lish. He urged all cardinals, archbishops, bish- ops, prelates, and priests to persevere in their work for souls. To missionaries he gave praise for their courage. He wished the rich to give to the poor, he desired the poor to be content with their lot, remembering that Christ was poor also. Rulers of the world, he said, should remember that all power comes from God, to those subject to another he said, Subjects, be ye obedient. He who re- sists power resists God and brings eternal damnation on himself. Then the Pope gave his apostolic benediction to the world. After the translations of the message, we Mercy girls went back to our rooms feeling very grateful because we heard the address of Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XI. AUDREY COLLETTE '32 53944-f Qhe gleam ffl-J? Those Class Cards There's a little pack of cards in a certain teacher's hand, If each one could speak, it would talk to beat the band. One would tell its tale of woe, tears streaming from its eyes, Another would smile pleasantly with no such mournful sighs. Then another with broadened smile would almost shout with glee As if to say, Fm justly proud of my girl's ability. Mar1y's the time I wished my card would not be there, And in agony I racked my brains and almost tore my hair, For it seems to me that the order changes so, That my card is ready to appear when Fm asked what I dorft know. So as a special warning and as good advice to you, Be careful of your little card, now and in the future too. BERNARDINE RAMPSON. '33 The Examination Days QWITH APOLOGIES To BRYANT, The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing girls, and thin blue books, for mid-year tests are here. Heaped in a corner of her desk, her text-books have lain dead, Throughout the first semester, school work did not jill her head. But now she lmstles, and she works, and now she crams and crams For on the morrow, to her grief, come the midyear exams. Wlrere are her friends, her fair young friends, that by her side have stood In brighter days and gayer nights in beauteous sisterhood? Alas! they all are crarnming, too, 'tis but a few short hours Till they are doomed by cruel fate, these lazy friends of ours. The marks will fall a way below what teachers call the par, And fifty-fives and thirty-twos their nice report cards mar. The girls who've studied as they should, have vanished long ago, Their av'rages were ninety-one, or a few points below. They are exempt and now enjoy the freedom of a day, They studied the assignments that they got along the way. Yes! If only everyone would do the work assigned, Semester tests could come and go, and nobody would mind. And now when carries the day on which the marks are given out, We see these self-same little girls with many a tearful pout. ' Of course, they know that if they'd worked, as work they should have done, This getting their semester marks would just he so much fun! But now they've learned the lesson, even if it,s to their sorrow, Always do their work today, 'stead of waiting 'til tomorrow. INEZ TAYLOR '32 ' Page Twenty-jiv-e EBGKN Qhe gleam 'fx-J-95 The Relief Below the Altar EoNARDo DI VINCI,S greatest picture is The Last Supper. The original painting may still be seen on the wall of the refectory of a monastery near Milan, where the artist spent ten years in completing the picture. This portrayal of The Last Suppcr ex- presses the commotion at the moment when our Lord said, Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall betray Me. The prominence of Jesus Christ is brought out by His isola- tion frorn the apostles, who are separated into four groups. One of these groups is composed of the following: Judas, traitor, St. Peter, Head of the Churchg and St. john, the be- loved disciple. From left to right, the Apost- les are: St. Bartholomew, St. James the Less, St. Andrew, judas Iscariot, St. Peter, St. John, St. Thomas, St. James the Greater, St. Philip, St. Matthew, St. Thaddeus, and St. Simeon. At His Last Supper our Lord instituted the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. He Page Twenty-:ix took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to His Apostles, saying: Take ye and eat, this is My Body which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of Me. jesus then took the chalice of wine, and, giving thanks, blessed it and passed it to them, saying. Drink ye all of this, for this is My Blood of the New Testament which shall be shed for many unto the remission of sins. The first Mass had been said, the first Con- secration wrought, the first Communicants fed in the greatest of the Sacraments, and the Apostles had been commissioned to con- tinue the perpetual sacrifice. If we would think of this while attending Mass, don't you think we could greatly in- crease our devotion, especially during the Consecration, when the priest, in obedience to Christ's commands, uses our Lordis very words and performs the same 'actions as our Lord performed at the Last Supper? EVA ZWITTER '32 this-rv Elie gleam f-fuafaeh The Picture Above the Altar N this painting we see the Blessed Virgin Mary receiving Holy Com- munion. Two angels privileged to adore Jesus and honor His Mother on this occasion are pictured as holding the Commu- nion cloth for Mary. St. John the Evangelist is administering the Blessed Sacrament to her. Behind him we see the altar on which the Holy Sacrifice of the mass is offered. During Mass, reflect upon the meaning of this picture. Think of how Mary received her Divine Son into her heart-how she prepared her soul, how pure she was, how devoutly she knelt in prayer waiting to receive jesus Christ. Ir seemed to Mary as though she had been separated from Jesus for a long, long time. What joy now filled her heart when Jesus entered her soull What a strong and unshaken faith she possessed! What acts of love did she not utter to Him. Should we not, therefore, be happy when we receive Christ even if we did receive Him just yesterday? A whole day is a long time. Let us try to model our hearts after Mary's pure and sinless heart and to cleanse our souls of all sin, especially before Holy Communion. Let us receive our Lord with great devotion and tell Him how much we love Him. Sure- ly our efforts will not be left unrewarded. LORAINE HOGAN '32 The Tabernacle Doors AM the alpha and the omega, the heginnig and the end, saith the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. Apoc. I, 8. This text is the one which suggested the inscription on the inner tabernacle doors, they are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, Alpha,', and Omega . God is truly the beginning and the end. Ages ago, when there was nothing but darkness, God lived, and when the earth returns to naught, God will still live. This thought ought to inspire us to love God more and to serve Him better. Day in and day out the Almighty Eternal One re- mains in the Tabernacle under the same roof with us, and we find it hard to drop in to see Him even for a minute. You don't have to talk to Him if you don't know what to say, as a saintly old man said when asked why he came to church every day when he apparently wasnit praying. God knows I'm here, and I know He's here, he said, and that's all that's necessary. We woulcl'nt insult an earthly friend by not coming to see Him, yet continually we grieve the greatest Friend of all by not ac- cepting His invitation. So let us try to in- crease our visits to the Everlasting King in the Blessed Sacrament. BETTY CONLEY '32 Friend O, Mine Was ever one like Yon, Friend 0' mine? Was ever one so true, Friend o' mine?

SYLVIA FONS '32 Page Twenty-seven Sxgli-KW' he fgleum ffm-'J After the Pio H, MOTHER, I am so happy that we won, gleefully announced Mary as she opened the door. What did you win today, dear? asked Mrs. Jones. 'LDebating, mother, and oh! it was so in- teresting, said the very much excited Mary. What makes debating so interesting, Mary? asked her mother. It's so much like basketball. First of all, in basketball and debating there are two teams, the game is interesting if the teams are from different schools. The basketball corresponds to the question which is being debated. If the players do not get the ball they can not make a basket and make points for their side. In order to debate you need a question. Only then can you produce evi- dence. Is that the only way in which they are alike? asked her mother. Nono Debate Oh, no, gym could affirmative. miss, it is proving it. proving a the baskets on either side of the stand for the negative and the When you try for a basket and like making a statement and not When a basket is made, it is like statement in debating. Out of bounds in debating would be not sticking to your question. The members of each team need to co- operate, if they do not, they might as well stop. Co-operation in debating is needed to avoid repetition. In order for either basketball or debating to be a success, school spirit is needed, ended Mary much satihed. 'T11 have to go to a debate some time, said her mother. - Then go to one Friday. It is our most im- portant one, said Mary. I believe I will, said her mother. ' DoRoTHY KURTH '32 Thinking OW, J EAN, give me your decision. 'lWell, I think- But did Jean think? She gave her answer immediately, it would be safe to say that if she had been silent for a few moments, and really thought it-over, her ans- wer would have been much better and more exact. We Americans believe ourselves to be far superior to the Europeans. Perhaps we are in some respects, but in the vital point of think- ing we fall behind. If you would ask a foreigner for a decision he would say, just a minute, let me think. They are in no hurry. We, on the other hand, must always be in action, we must move, there is no time for concentrated thinking. You all gasp, and put up many objections. You donit like to be told you can't think, but you know very well that you are invariably ready to talk as soon as the Page Twenty-eight other person has stopped speaking. An Arab was once brought over to our country to observe American customs. He saw New York night and day life. He was whizzed up to the roof of the Woolworth building, and given a breath-taking ride in an aeroplane. After two months he was asked what he thought about it all. I-le said our civilization was wonderful. We were years ahead of the other countries. But, he said, when do you people get a chance to think? It will do no good for us to be simply told char we are a thoughtless nation, we must be given a remedy. In a recent sermon given after our Sodality Mass, Rev. Father Clark told us to reiiect frequently upon the silence of Jesus. I-Ie recommended this as a splendid practice for Lent. Father Clark said that there would be more time to think if we remained silent. GENEVIEVE MICHALSKI ,33 dbh. qhe gleam KPJ Why Study History? . HY study history? is a question 6 that arises in the minds of many an ambitious youth. Wliy study about men who are long since dead and buried, and of whom only a few words are ever spoken? Wliy study about places and events that you wonlt remember a thing about after that dreadful ordeal of examinations is over? These very same questions confronted jack Allen and Bob Stone, two of society's prom- ising young men who thought college was some sort of an amusemnt place where one could enjoy oneself without being burdened by commercial troubles. To them history was a useless subject. True, they undertook to study it, but with no real purpose in mind except to Fill in their year's. program with something easy, which in their mind was his- tory. How they both passed their examination was a mystery to them. They graduated from college eventually, and the succeeding four years found jack firmly established in his father's business, while Bob was still taking life easy. Jack, having been ordered by his father to cross the big pond and introduce their products in Europe, persuaded Bob to accompany him. After the business part of the trip was over, they traversed Europe, taking in all the sights of which the American people speak. They met a group of college students on an educa- tional tour and joined them. Did they enjoy their trip? To some ex- tent, yes, they did, but how much more in- teresting would their trip have proved had they better known history! The great ruins of medieval castles, those historical cities where hard-fought battles were staged and where not one, but many, heroes fell fighting for their country, the Coliseum, where blood- thirsty Romans waited impatiently for the thrilly gladitorial contests to begin-all would have been to them things of interest and of appreciation of the struggles which helped to make the world what it is today, instead of just cold, dull, stone monuments of past ages. Thus, one good answer to our question is: Study history to gain a better appreciation of what our forefathers suffered in order to give us the things we enjoy now. ALICE PAIKOWSKI '33 Why Study History? URING a history conference in the Central High School, Gene, one of the pupils, asked Miss Bean, Why do we study history? That is a question which needs careful thinking, exclaimed Miss Bean. However, I will answer it by explaining to you some of its many purposes. First of all, history strengthens the char- acter. The study of the lives and characters of the great leaders of our own and other nations exerts an ennobling influence upon che people who study history. Then, too, it gives them an inspiration to attain high ideals. 'lSecondly, it helps to stimulate patriotism. Patriotism may be considered as of two clas- ses, namely, military and civic. Civic patri- otism is of a more quiet nature than military patriotism, yet it often requires the exercise of a moral heroism far greater than the physical courage required for the soldier. Civic patri- otism includes all of those virtues that make the honest and upright citizen. Because of his interest in the public welfare, he accepts a public office and discharges his duties faith- fully. 'lDoes history help to develop the minds of the people who study it, Miss Bean? asked Gene. Yes, it does. It helps to train the memo- ry and, what is more important, strengthens the ability to judge and reason correctly on social problems. You get much practice in reasoning in your geometry class, but you need not only historical information, but also practice in judging historical situations, before you can reason well on social and civic prob- lems. I see why nowf' said Gene, and I think I'm ready for the next unit. JOYCE LoEPER '32 Page Twenty-nine F dish!-f5a Q12 gleam fin-J? Vocations VERY girl ought to try to under- stand the question of vocations. It is of such great importance that everything possible ought to be done to help us choose the right career and to know our own abilities in time so that we may be able to develop them. God has given special gifts to everyone that fit him for one career more than any other. Therefore, we ought to think seriously about it, plan, and above all pray to God that I-Ie might help us by point- ing out to us the way in which we will attain eternal happiness. On the other hand, it is easy for us to drift into the wrong path and in this way spoil our lives and often ruin the lives of others. In such a case, it is impossible for anyone to reach anything like the efiici- ency and success that could be attained in the right vocation. Therefore, to attain success in this life and eternal happiness in the next, we ought to choose that one vocation in which we will be of greater service to our country and to our God.

She had hoped to win her mother over to her- side, and, after that, break the news to her father. He, of course, would agree if his wife had given her consent. No more was said about the matter, and Corrine continued her social life, which be- came more tiring every day.

She was driving her own Pierce-Arrow at a fair rate of speed. A small boy darted out into the middle of the street, directly in the path of the car. Corrine swerved to the curb. In doing so, she lost control of her car com- pletely, and the auto hit a concrete post, sending the driver through the wind-shield. Corrine was killed instantly. God had called Corrine and she had ans- wered but had not been able to follow. He always takes care of His children.

DOROTHY RAWLEY '32 Page Thirty-one Shi!-15 gba gleam NYJ? In Quest of Adventure NE of our stately juniors came to school this September a much wiser girl. For a while we won- dered what had befallen her, and after much wheedling hnally induced her to tell us the story. She was visiting at her cousinls farm this last summer. One day she felt especially mis- chievous and decided to do something that would allow her to relieve her feelings by laughter and yet send cold chills playing tag up and down that sensitive spot called her back. It was a rather dull day. The air was thick with gloomy, heavy, yellow fog which, instead of depressing her, merely served to heighten her spirits. The ground was cov- ered with mud that gave one a most un- pleasant sensation of sinking when one step- ped on it. The water oozecl up and, as one withdrew his foot, gave a loud noise that in- creased the un leasant feelin . After la in . P g P Y g with the turkeys and getting several pecks in her hand, she finally decided that this wasnit exciting enough and set forth on her quest for adventure. In the course of her search, she came upon Peggy. Peggy was a muley mule with ears a trifle longer than mules' ears usually are. She was an especially stubborn and vicious mule, her ears testified that. Innocent Junior thought it would be fun to exercise her. Both got exercise. Peggy seemed unusually gentle that morning, and for two blocks she capered obligingly down the road. Then the fun be- gan. One of the neighborls turkeys decided that Peggy's head would be an ideal place on which to roost, but Peggy objected. Wlaat a funny sight they made, our junior hanging on for dear life and Peggy tearing down the road! At last Peggy's obstinate nature got the best of her and she sat clown, much to our Junior's embarrassment. Poor Junior teased, begged and finally resorted to pulling Peggy's ears. Peggy finally became bored at these silly operationsg she lifted her dainty fore. hoof and gave our unfortunate Junior a gentle push that sent her into a gravel pit. Poor little Junior had had enough adven- ture for a mighty long time. She walked home feeling like Atlas holding mother-earth. Such was the weight of the combined dirt and pebbles. 'When disgusted Junior reached the house, she saw Peggy demurely nibbling grass in the front yard. Wlxen she caught sight of our sad but wiser Junior, she looked at her questioningly and greeted her with a saucy, Hee-haw .

We sat with stricken, puzzled expressions, waiting to be told that we had done something wrong again. A black figure moved towards the stage. It was Sister Mary Dominica. Girls, began Sister in her pleasant way, I have a surprise for you.', We looked at each other. You could almost see a large question mark on each countenance. Girls, said Sister M. Dominica again, I have a surprise for you. I have planned a picnic to Waukesha Beach for the sopho- mores who have been so quiet during the last week. At this announcement there was a great shout which contradicted the compliment that we had just received. On a bright, sunny morning two days after the assembly we could be seen boarding a chartered car headed for Waukesha Beach, while the seniors, juniors, and freshmen waved us a sad farewell. Sister Mary Domi- nica, Sister Mary Elizabeth, and Sister Mary di Pazzi acted as our chaperons. Upon arriving at our destination, we sought the park tables, placed our lunches on them, and walked away. We spent the morning strolling along the shore of the beach, some of us going for a boat ride. Cne of the That Might Have Been girls fell into the water. It was Kathryn Bos- ynak, of all people, and who do you suppose was the heroine? It was Regina Gorski. Kathryn dried in the boathouse and was none the worse after the experience. At noon we ate our lunch, feeding the crumbs to the birds. fThat's all that was leftj After resting an hour we decided to play games. Phyllis Lewandowslci and Adeline Peterson won first and second prizes respec- tively in the running race. Irene Kunda, Irene Ekwinski, and I-Iildegard Patoclc won the bean bag throwing contest. The biggest event of the day was the 300-yard dash for the small girls. It was won by no other than I-Ielen Litzau, the smallest girl of Room 5. After a series of games played by all, we boarded the chartered car for home. On the way back Sister Mary Dominica said that seeing we had such a strenuous day we did not have to return to school the following day. There arose such a clamor that I thought the train would move off the tracks. Tired and dusty, I was almost asleep, I felt a sudden jar, for somehow or other I was in a sitting posture on the floor beside the fire.

The Happy Welcome ELESTE, humming softly to herself as she sat busily at work in the sewing room, was rudely brought back to earth by a voice calling to her from the hall downstairs. Yool I-Iool Celeste, where are you? It was Ann's voice. Ann was the girl who lived with her father, a widower, in the large stone house next door. I'm upstairs in the sewing roomf' was Celeste's reply. Celeste could hear Ann's footsteps as she sped hurriedly up the stairs. The next mo- ment a ral! girl of eighteen, with a pretty face much tanned by the summer's sun, walked into the room. I came to invite you to a picnic we are arranging. The picnic's tomorrow afternoon and we're going in two machines , were Ann's first words after she had seated herself next to Celeste. 'Tm sorry, dear, but I'll have to disappoint you, said Celeste. 'Tm expecting mother from the country tomorrow at two o'clock, and I must have the house spick-and-span and give her the welcome that mothers de- serve. . Oh, Celeste, your mother wouldn't mind if you weren't here to greet herlv exclaimed Ann. Celeste's reply was decisive. I don't care if mother would mind or not. I'm going to be here just the same. Imagine mother's being welcomed by an empty house! f'Oh, I'm sorry, said Ann in quick re- pentance. I know how you feel toward your mother and I respect you for it. Your mother's done a lot for me. Since I lost mine, sheis been like a real mother to me and I love her for it. Now I want you to tell me something. We're the best of friends, but whenever I ask you to go out with the group you always refuse. Tell me why. 'Til be frank, answered Celeste. I don't approve of your associates and neither does mother. Page Thirty-.fix Ann was silent for a while, then she rose and said, Maybe you're right. I wish I had a mother. Yours is good to me, but maybe I'd be different if I had one of my own. However, I'll drop in tomorrow at twelve and see how you're getting along. Witli a last wave of the hand Ann was gone. The next morning Celeste rose early and performed her clutiesfthat of preparing break- fast for her father and the children and see- ing them off to school. The latter duty was again performed at noon when the children came home for lunch. Celeste was just about to wash the dishes when Ann, with a box of lunch under her arm and looking very pretty in her peach organdie dress and white felt hat, walked! in. Why, what a pile of dishes! she ex- claimed. Give me an apron and I'll help. Celeste protested that she might spot or crumple her pretty dress, but to no avail, for Ann was firm. During the dishwashing Celeste told Ann of the cake she had baked that morning for her mother, how it had turned out, and other things she had done to surprise her mother. After dishes I'm going to pick some roses and put them in mother's sitting room. She loves roses, said Celeste enthusiastically. Just after dishes had been washed and put away, the girls heard a rooting of horns and, going to the door, saw two cars of boisterous boys and girls standing in front of Ann's house. Oh, tl1ey've come to call for you, said Celeste, none too gladly. Yes, said Ann, and, opening the door, walked across the lawn towards them, apron and all. Your lunch-the apron-J' expostulated Celeste, but she stopped, for she suddenly heard a chorus of protests from the machines. Ann must have said something to them, Celeste thought. Now she was walking back and the cars were starting off. So she wasn't gels!-f5 c me gleam 'fx-43? going after all! Celeste felt a queer thrill of loy- Wllen Ann came hack, she was smiling and said, Don't look so surprised, Celeste. I've changed my mind. Or rather, you've changed my mind. I'm not ever going out with them again. Come dear, let's get the roses now. A real welcome will he in store for your mother when she gets hack. With that the girls proceeded with the rose-cutting, decorating, and other small tasks, and it can well be imagined that a happy and pleasant welcome was indeed in store for a journey-worn but happy mother.

Zin .Memoriam LENORE JUTRAS What might seem to us at iirst thought a terrible shock may upon after- thought prove to be another instance of God's love for His creatures. Ar the opening of the school year, we freshies received a great shock, the death by railroad accident of one of our classmates, Lenore Jutras. However, after considering the matter thoughtfully and reading a detailed account of the accident, our opinions decidedly changed. Our friend, and friend she was, is doubtless enjoying blissful happiness, to gain which some of us may have to suffer much, we reasoned. We feel that we have sufficient cause to reason thus, for this girl whose life was so suddenly and unexpectedly cut off was, we believe, prepared for just such a call. She had been a fervent Sodalist, led an edifying life, and was IT10St regular in attending Sunday Mass and receiving the sacraments. A few hours before the accident, she had attended Mass and received Holy Com- munion-the best possible preparation to meet her God. Truly God's Mercy is always shown, no matter how great the tragedy may appear, for no member of the family of four was left to grieve over the lost. The loss of our friend and classmate, although a shock at the time, has served to emphasize the importance of trusting God's Mercy' and being always prepared to answer His summons whenever He calls. MARGARET ANNE BUCKETT 34 FLORENCE KADOW On the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 1931, another of our beloved classmates, Florence Kadow, died. Ever a devoted child of our Blessed Motlmer here on earth, truly a faithful Sodalist, it would seem that God's messenger was sent on this day to announce to Florence the glad tidings that she was to be freed from this earth's sufferings and trials and to become a citizen of His heavenly kingdom. Although we grieve and sincerely sympathize with her fond parents and other relatives, we know that God, for reasons of His own, saw fit to talce this young girl to Himself. The most loving care was bestowed upon her, and fer- vent prayers were offered that she might recover, but it would seem that the Sacred Heart wished that she who had doubtless kept very close to It in het short life, should come to be still closer in heaven. God alone knows what is best for His children, and since He has deprived these devoted parents of their only child, He will, we are sure, supply as only a loving Father lcnows how. We, her classmates, will miss her also, but the sorrow of loss is sweetened for us by the thought that we have a comrade gazing upon the Beatific Vision and interceding for us. We pray that God may abundantly recompense her parents for their faithful care of this beautiful soul confided to their charge, for His own words are, As long as you did it to the least of Mine, you did it to Me. BERNICE Kauow RUTH KIEFERLE Page F orty-two '34 '3 SYSJLQ-KS'-WW 6112 gleam WW-'fx-495 FRESHMEN . PgF yb gel!-KV' he gleam fl-Z3-X Resolved: We should read My Changeless Friend . ' Chairman: JANE SKINNER ODAY it is my privilege to act as chairman for the greatest debate Q that the freshies have produced. As you have already noticed, the affirmative are the only ones on the platform. This debate is being sponsored by the non-fiction committee advocating the reading of My Changeless Friendn by Rev. Francis P. Le Buffe, S. I now introduce the first speaker, Miss Ruth Deuster. FIRST SPEECH Madam Chairman, Sisters, Worthy Oppo- nents: As hrst speaker on the affirmative I shall endeavor to show some of the benefits to be derived from reading Father Le Buffe's series, My Changeless Friend . No mystery of faith finds so responsive a chord in our hearts as the miracles of the Blessed Sacra- ment, where Jesus dwells among us. We know He is there, but many of us fail to show by our lives that we really value this wonderful Gift. Many seem to have but a faint acquaint- ance with our Lord, we visit Him so seldom and speak to Him so formally. Now, the purpose of My Changeless Friend series is to inspire a loving friendship with Christ and to help souls to grasp what His Sacramental Presence really means. The series should be read with concentration and can be read again and again with profit. Doubtless we all desire to develop in our hearts an intimate friend- ship with Him who wishes to be our Friend above all others, and this series by Father Le Buffe is intended for that very purpose. There- fore we maintain that we should read My Changeless Friend. I thank you. Chairman: The debate will be continued with Miss Mardine Tobin as the second speaker. SECOND SPEECH Madam Chairman, Sisters, Worthy Oppo- nents: As the second speaker I wish to ex- plain further how each one can derive im- mense benefit from reading My Changeless Friendn by Father Le Buffe. A quotation Page Fourty-four which he develops beautifully is A friend in need is a friend indeed. He shows how Christ is a friend who stands out from among all others, ever ready to comfort us in sorrow, trouble, or need. Then he explains how we have in Christ a friend to whom we can go in times of joy, and surely we all love to cell our joys to Someone who will not tire of our company. Father Le Buffe tells us a story in his sev- enth series. There were two friends, supposed to be staunch and faithful, but when the first asked a favor of the other, the second, evi- dently in anger, replied harshly, '4Oh, don't bother me, and the first turned away in sorrow. The author tells that we often act like the second man when our Lord asks us to do something. He depicts Christ turning away in sorrow and arouses in us a deter- mination to give Our Lord whatever He may ask of us. I am sure that after you read this series, My Changeless Friendn, you will become a closer friend of our Blessed Lord and follow more closely in His pathway. I thank you. Chairman: I know you are all anxious to hear what the third and final speaker has to say, so I present to the audience Miss Vir- ginia Genrick. THIRD SPEECH Madam Chairman, Sisters, Worthy Oppo- nents: As the third speaker on this morning's program, I will endeavor to show you how, by reading these books, we will not only be helped spiritually, but will derive great plea- sure from the friendship with Christ that they enable us to attain. We often treat our Lord with ungrate- fulness and neglect, because we do not fully realize the advantages of friendship with Him. To remedy this, we should cultivate an in- timate friendship with our Lord, and tell Him of our joys and trials, our successes and losses, thanking Him for His favors to us and begging Him to give us the helps we need. By this means, we will always have the joy of the exceedingly valuable friendship of alike-feet he gleam J our King. The means for accomplishing this end are found in My Changeless Friend series. Each book of this series is composed of many short chapters, each containing a different thought. This, together with Father Le Buffe's charming style, makes the series enjoyable as well as helpful. Every debate has authority in statements of prominent men. Father Le Buffe is as reliable an authority on matters of our religion as Paul H. Nystrom is on matters of finance. So we refer you to him. I thank you. Chairman: After this brilliant and inter- esting debate, I know you are all anxiously awaiting the decision. You are the judges. If there is an increase in the number who read My Changeless Friend , the decision goes to the afiirmative. fApplausej.

Nor can we forget the two little Roses, Who work from 8:30 until school closes. And now I see as I go through the list That it's only myself that has been missed. VERA BURDETT ,35 Page Forty-five 9554!-KW' me gleam J Hasty Judgment UT, Mother, I just can't understand why the girls acted so queer to me- this afternoon. Never before have they avoided me. I just can't figureit out. Why- . Oh, why worry about that? It may be that you only imagined it. Now go to bed and I'm sure youill see it differently to- morrow. All right, Mother. Goodnight. Goodnight, deatf' I retired, but for a long time I could not sleep. Why did my school-chums avoid me? That question would not leave my mind, however, I managed at last to fall asleep. The morning dawned. I dressed and hur- ried to school where I met Cornelia Willis entering the building. Good morning, Cor- nelia, I said. Do you know your French? I think I am well prepared for the monthly test this morning. Are you?', Yes, and if you knew how to obey the seventh commandment as well as you know your French, that would just be splendid, was the quick reply. The -seventh commandmentlv I exclaimed. What are you talking about? Oh, don't play innocent. You know very well what I mean, said she and, leaving me on the second Hoor, ran up the steps to her locker. I felt as if a ton of rocks had fallen on me. Such was the beginning of that never- to-be-forgotten day. I hurried to my room for the bell had already rung. The seventh commandment! What is ir? I thought. The fifth is 'Thou shalt not kill', sixth 'Thou shalt not commit adultery', sev- enth 'Thou shalt not steall' I gasped. Steal! Why I never stole anything from anyone! The morning dragged, but at length the lunch hour came. With it came the longed- for opportunity to speak to Cornelia. I met her on the stairway, but she passed me as if I were a complete stranger. Page F orty-.fix 'KConnie,,' I called. Will you please let me speak to you for a minute? Well, what do you want? she grumbled. Listen won't ou ex lain what ou said 1 Y P Y to me this morning? I can't get head or rail out of it. She looked at me with narrowed eyelids for a moment, then said, Explain it to you! You mean to tell me you don't know any- thing about the money that was taken from Marjory Stutson's purse yesterday? Money from Marjory's purseln I ex-- claimed. Yes, and you're suspected of taking it, but Marj- Come on and help me find Marjoryf' I interrupted her. She's usually in the library at this time,', Cornelia said. We hurried there, and sure enough, found Marjory. Margie, will you cell her how your money was taken? asked Cornelia. 'fWhy, Connie, I told you to forget all about it, didn't I? queried Marjory. However, I begged her to tell me all she knew, Marjory began, You remember yes- terday when I asked you to get my purse after I had forgotten it, and you brought it to me? Well, upon opening it, I noticed that seventy-five cents was gone. I thought maybe I had misplaced it, but I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. Then I told Connie, and you know her hasty judgment, she immedi- ately suspected you. I told her such a thing wasimpossible, and that I must have lost it. So I let the matter drop. That's all, and here Connie goes and tells you. But I didn't take- I protested, but was cut short by Margaret who ran in just now. Ch, so there you are, I was looking every- where for you. Marjory, here is the seventy- five cents I took from your purse yesterday Ski!-X55 Hhs gleam ffm-1,5193 to pay for my pennant. I wanted to tell you later, hut coulcln't get the chance. Hope you don't mind? she finished unconcernedly, and like wild fire clashed out. We were stunned. At length Cornelia broke the silence, sayin , Eleanor, I apolo- gize for my hasty juggment, and I hope youlll forgive me and forget all that hap- pened. Will you go skating with me this evening? Why, of course, I will, I assured her. The bell then rang and I resumed my studies with a much lighter heart. VIRGINIA ZIENTKIEWICZ '34 Alphabetic Freshies A is for Anna so simple and sweet.

' nt. -.-'- Lraji.-QZQLIEY' MHAA y XTRAI EXTRA' all about the big assembly at Mercy! Bells rang, heels clattered, and the Mercy girls were seen flying clown the steps to the auditorium. What for? Well, take your time, we'll tell you all about it. Quite naturally, Sister M. Dominica called the meeting to order and announced that we had assembled to appoint the oflicers of the Athletic Association. Suflice to say that Dolo- res Tobin, a senior at Mercy, was chosen president, and other oflicers were deemed unnecessary. After the election Sister M. Dominica had a big surprise for us, and when she let the cat out of the bag , we discovered that we were again to be honored with Miss Huebsch as our coach, instructress, and superintendent of athletics. Cheers were led for the success of the orgainzation. The girls went back to their rooms eager to give their eager co-op- eration in all enterprises Ml. H. A. A. would undertake. Page Fifty-two VOLLEY BALL Volley ball, which has been in the back- ground, took a big step to the front this year. A tournament between classes was of great interest. Two classes played and the winning class would belong to the A league and the loser to the B league. The team which won all the games in the A league came into first place, and the winner of the B league was second. Sophomore 1 was victorious over all the teams of the A league, thus receiving first place. Freshman IV was winner of the B league and came into second place. BASKETBALL St. IVIary'.v vs. Mercy Hurrah! get ready to jubilate. Mercy played St. Maryls on the llth of February. Mercy won! At the half Mercy was leading by one point. The score was 11 to 12. Could we keep it up? Certainly we could. Our forwards just stepped into that game and put the ball into the basket. We were victorious with a score of 28-16. Wait a while. I-lere's another game played on the 18th. The crowd is going wild. The score at the half is 13 to 6 in favor of St. Mary's. Why, this can't keep up. What's that? The score is going up? Can't the on- lookers keep quiet? It's deafening. Ah! the whistle-that means the end of the game. Well, the game ended with a tie of 20. Holy Angels vs. Mercy Wl1at's Mercy doing today, the 25th of February? There goes the whistle. Mercy ahead. No. Holy Angels is creeping up. At the half the score is 10 to 11 with Mercy one point behind. Oh, come on, Mercy, let's see you make some baskets. Whatis the matter, Mercy? Oh, what a shame-the final score is 26-13 with Holy Angels the winner. Better luck next time, girls. But-there was no next ggi!-f Q 6112 gleam '41,-53? time. The re- turn game was not played because of difficulties due to both teams' lilled sched ules and also Holy Angels retreat. Sienna vs. Mercy Excitement reigned supreme Satur clay, February 7, 1931. Why? Mercy played Sienna! The bus from Chicago stopped in front of Mercy and the girls were greeted with the heartiest welcome. At 2:15 the game was begun! There was an immediate hush when the sound of the timekee er's whistle blew. The ball was tossed up, andp Mercy got the tip-off! Mercy's for- wards passed it from the right to the left and then through the basket. Center ball! Again Mercy got the tip-off followed by another basket. The score is 4-0 in favor of Mercy. That was at the beginnig of the game. Sienna got busy and at the end of the half the score was 29-15 in favor of Sienna. A ten-minute rest period was given at the half. Action was needed and Mercy did her best keeping the Sienna guards working hard. There goes the whistle. Game's over! Who won it? Sienna did with a score of '54-31. Both teams enjoyed an old-fashioned Kaffee- klatsch in the cafeteria. Alvernia vs. Mercy The sun's shining. That ought to put some pep into the team. The game has started. Oh, oh, oh, can't Mercy get started on that three court? What a score at the half-13-3 in favor of Alvernia. Say a little prayer. We can't have a score 63-3, but that 13 may prove to be unlucky for themg we hope so anyhow. Well, thatis holding them. We made 3 baskets, they made one. Another basket for us and a free throw, and only two free throws for Alvernia. That's not so bad. Game's over! The ending is better than the beginning even though we lost with a score of 17-12. - Chicago vs. Mercy March 28th was to be a red-letter day. Why? That's the day we were to play Mercy Chicago. This is one game that is looked for- ward to during the whole high school career. The day wasn't bright and sunny. Not at allg it had snowed the day before and had no in- tention of stopping. 8 o'clock finally came. Isn't the bus here? It's 8:30g still no bus. Nine o'clock. The bus is here. Hurrah! All the girls ran to the door. What's that from above? Sister M. Dominica is standing on the balcony. Girls, her voice rang out, 'Tm sorry, but we aren't going. The roads are closed between here and Chicago . The game was called off. fCantinued on Page 791 Page F ifty-three Syglu'-KVQWYQ E112 gleam Sidqffx-JSE Page Fifty-fbur Ski'-K Elie gleam ffinf-J-X The Bookkeeping Club HIS year the energetic young accoun- tants of Mercy orgainzed a club for the purpose of furthering interest in commercial work. The girls intend to in- crease their interest not only in bookkeeping but also in shorthand and typing. We chose a very novel and appropriate name for our club, namely, i'The Triple B Club or The Busy Bookkeeping Bees. When it came to the choice of colors, the class almost unanimously voted for Blue and White. To help 'us in our work, we de- cided to use as our motto Big, Better, Best , intending to accomplish all of our work in the Best way we can. There is something we are sure you'll all be interested in and that is the choosing of a pin which is to be kept as a standard pin for the club. Ar our first meeting we had election of ofiicers and to fill these honorable positions we chose Dolores Pelkofer, President, Ceci- lia Burbach, Treasurer, Evelyn Karr, Secre- tary, Dolores Tobin, Social Chairman. All the girls have been very faithful and the ofii- cers performed their duties like well-trained women. Ar this meeting we also decided on having a constitution, and so we appointed two girls to compile it. We are giving future bookkeepers the privilege of using this same constitution for their club. Our social chairman prepared and gave some very interesting social entertainments. We have had great variety in our meetings, and I think we'll always remember them even in later life. We don't think anyone of us could ever forget the day our entertainers presented the playlet Business in 2030 A. D.', Laugh! Why, we couldn't stop. Can you imagine living in an age when you'll have a number instead of a name, when aeroplanes will be considered slow, and instead of play- ing miniature golf you'll play aeroplane golf, and you'll take a food pill every twenty-fours hours instead of eating three meals! We are sure after hearing of only this much of the club news you can readily see that weive en- joyed and can never forget these meetings. MARGARET HASSETT '31 MILDRED SCI-IMIDT '31 German Club ' HE newly elected president of the German Club, Margaret Hassett, called the first meeting to order on Friday, November 21. Since the club had just been organized, there were no minutes to be read by the secretary, Cecilia Jonas. Three reliable girls were appointed to write a constitution, which was presented at the very next assembly. Ir included the name of the club, Die Eroehliche Kameraden g the motto, Frisch gewangt ist halb gewonnenng the colors of the club, red, white and black, and the day for the meeting, every second Friday. The entertainment at the club meetings is furnished by girls appointed by Maryann Bednarek, our social chairman. Thus far there have been speeches about great men, such as Goethe, Wagner, Mozart, Schiller, and Bee- thoven. The cities of Weimer and Berlin, the Rhine River, and the German dress were all beautifully described. A somewhat lengthy, but interesting folk ballad was read in Ger- man by Anita Wolff, who also translated it into English. Rose Kohn caused the intense concentration of the entire class, before her puzzling riddle could be solved. Phonograph records were also brought, which, after a brief talk on the life and accomplishments of the composer, yielded varied amusement and in- struction. German folk songs are sung occasionally. Everyone seems to enjoy parti- cipating in the singing as well as in the games that Nlaryann sponsors. These excellent programs help to dispel the monotony that very often creeps into classes, freshening and encouraging us to live up to our motto, Well begun is half done .

It is the same with regard to orchestral music. Only those whose ears are educated can appreciate all its meaning and its beautyf' Witnessing the growth of Mery's orchestra for four years, we have arrived at the -one and only con- clusion that Mercy affords splendid opportunities for a fully developed cultural education in music as well as in literary fields. A Since music is God's best gift to man, we members of Mercyis orchestra have fully realized and appre- ciated all its advantages by making it a practice before beginning our weekly rehearsals to analyze thoroughly some instrument and to master some phase of a balanced orchestra. As a result of our efforts we were able to help malta: our numerous programs more successful and entertaining. The main events of our public activities were the radio program, the first that Mercy ever produced, and our second annual concert, in which our freshmen members made their debut into the realms of melodyland. We members of the Mercy High School Orchestra wish to express sincere appreciation and deep gratitude to Sister M. Monica, our Directress, for the time and service which she has devoted this last year toward the development of our musical talent. The seniors, viewing in retrospect the year's work, advise the remaining members never to turn their eyes from those 'Kmagic casements which are thrown open to them by means of an orchestra and which look upon a realm far beyond that of everyday reality .

These various departments have united to form the St. Cecilia' s Music Circle. The purpose of this club is to instill into the hearts of its members a deeper love and appreciation of music. To gain this end, a program is pre- sented at each of our bimonthly meetings. Every girl is encouraged to participate. Our first big project this year was the sponsoring of a concert presented by the orchestra of St. Rose's Orphanage. This group of thirty-five is composed chiefly of young girls, who are an inspiration to older members. After the concert, luncheon was served. The next big event looked forward to by all members of the club is our annual recital to be held on May 11, 1931. Preparations are being made by all pupils to make it a great success. At the hrst meeting of our music circle an election of oflicers was held. Ida Stanisch was elected president, Mary Ircink vice-president, and Dorothy Brill secretary. Although we have been organized but a short time, our club is making rapid progress and looks forward to a brilliant future. , MARY IRCINK '31 VIRGINIA GENRICK '34 Library Committees HOSE who have admired the attrac- tive posters in our library this year may not have known that the greater number of these are the handwork of our own pupils. Dolores Bodus, Mary Holan, Dorothy Foote, Sybil Nowak, Anita Vffolff, and Mardine Tobin willingly devoted time and talent to this project. Eleanor Waszak X and Dorothy Pokrop have also generously contributed their assistance as typists. All of these girls have imbibed the true Mercy spirit, that of Service. Page Fifty-nine M skis-KN Hhs gleam 432495 The Dramatic Art Club , ORK in dramatics has always been Q very much worth-while at Mercy. This year the club was again formed and started right in for a successful and happy year. The oH'icers, Isabel Kern, President, Alice Callan, Secretary, and Sylvia Fons, Treasurer, were elected at our first meeting, and it was decided that we have regular monthly meetings. At each meeting a program prepared by certain members was given. During the latter part of September, practice for our fall production, The Ivory Door, began. The play cast included nearly every member of the Club. The work, the clever lines-but most of all the fun we had preparing for it are things long to be remem- bered. We behind the scenes enjoyed more and more the spell cast upon each succeeding audience as King Perivale opened the Ivory Door-and went through. Ar our January meeting a Chinese play di- rected by Evelyn Karr and Sylvia Fons was presented. It was a revelation to us to witness a play presented on a bare stage in real Chi- nese fashion. On February 12 an Abraham Lincoln pro- gram was conducted in the form of a contest Page ixty ' by senior members of the Club. Each con- testant interpreted one scene from Drink- water's drama, Abraham Lincoln. The judge, Reverend T. F. Berry, awarded the first prize, a gold Abraham Lincoln medal, to Marion Mehegan, and the second prize, a bronze Abraham Lincoln medal, to Mildred Ramp- son. The dramatic club presented a delightful program for the Parent-Daughter Party. A comedy, Mechanical jane, which was given as a part of the program, was directed by Cath- erine Bakehouse. The King? Fool, an inspiring play, was presented for a program at Mt. Mary Col- lege, Saturday, March 14, by four senior members. The seniors are now preparing their last play The Ninth Promise. We regret that the Gleam', will have gone to press before pic- tures of the play could be taken. The year certainly has been a very suc- cessful one for our Dramatic Club. Those of us who are leaving Mercy in June wish' every possible success to the remaining mem- bers. We hope they will enjoy work in drama- tics as much as we did.

They watch others express their powers in athletics and sports, their talents in plays, music, and the arts with never a thought or an exertion towards self-expression. Thus they waste personal talents which, if put to use, would add to the completeness and the joy of their lives. The 1931 graduates in high school dramatics have a solid and lasting conviction that creative self-expression is one of the inroads to real joy. They have sought out and found their special talents and, far from hiding them under a bushel, they have used and multiplied them during the past four years and by so doing have not only experienced the joy of self- expression but have passed on this pleasure and even done a vast amount of good to the multitudes who have witnessed the results of their creative efforts in dramatics. Mercy High School extends heartiest and sincerest congratulations with a hope that many of them will continue the work so splendidly begun at Mercy. Page Sixty-two LVN gba gleam 'fx-Jdlg The Debates of '31 HAT we at Mercy are whole-heartedly interested in debate work no one will venture to deny. Looking at an audience of Mercy students during a tense moment in a conference contest, one may well wonder why something exciting does not take place, if for no other reason than to end the expressive silence and suspense. This year we have had many opportunities to express our loyalty to our school and to the team. If you should happen to glance into our chapel on any of the several days preceding a debate, you would find a group of girls kneeling in prayer before the only One who can bestow the needed strength and help. The debaters take the privilege to tell the school as a whole that they are deeply touched by the mani- festation of confidence and good-will. Our hrst encounter of '31 was with Mess- mer High. Both sides demonstrated their prowess, and the hnal decision rested with Messmer. Disappointed? Yes, but we looked ahead with hope. A few days later Mercy's Negative met Marquette's Affirmative, and Mercy won the day! Then we looked happily ahead and several weeks later Mercy's Afiirm- ative defeated Pio Nono's Negative at Pio Nono High School, St. Francis. We were assured that we had covered a great part of the distance toward our goal, now only one conference debate remained before the grand finale . One Friday afternoon, St. Joh:-i's Affirm- ative came to Mercy's Auditorium to decry the detriments of the Chain Store System , but Mercy defeated them by a narrow margin. When that day was over, we found ourselves one of the last contestants on the field of battle. Who would win the coveted cup? On Wednesday, March 4, Mercy invaded Marquette for the decisive duel. The struggle was long and earnest, and our girls distin- guished themselvesg but Marquette received the well-earned championship-and the cup. Mercy, however, attained recognition, when Isabel Kern was named the most effective debater on the stage. In spite of this defeat Mercy feels that the debate year has been entirely successful. The members of the team of '31 wish suc- cess and Mercyis good school spirit to the debaters of '32.

Golden Jubilee Gift R. HARRY MCCABE, a well known physician and lecturer, had been , in his youth a pupil of Mother Mary Evangelist, a pioneer of the Sisters of Mercy in this city. After his premature death, the members of his family, wishing to be- stow a gift in token of his memory, procured a beautiful statue of Our Lady and presented it to Mother Mary Evangelist on the occasion of her golden jubilee celebrated on last Sep- tember twenty-fourth. On that day the students of Mercy I-ligh, attired in school uniform, marched in proces- sion to the campus and paid tribute to Our Page Sixty-six Lady by singing hymns in her honor. Follow- ing the singing, Reverend Father Riordan spoke a few impressive words. Two freshmen were privileged to unveil the statue. What a beautiful sight met our gaze! The perfect contour of the face wreathed in a sweet smile caused us to think for the mo- ment that it was Our Lady herself standing there in the midst of her children with arms outstretched as if to welcome us to her em- brace. The ceremony concluded by all singing Hail, Holy Queen, the favorite hymn of the deceased doctor.

A general Sodality meeting on Sep- tember 12 started off with a bang, and other bangs throughout the year in the form of more Sodality meetings kept the world in- formed of our progress. We refueled twice each monthg first, by constant vigil before the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday and again at the Sodality Mass and Communion on the second Monday. These clippings taken from a prominent newspaper and extracts from the minutes show our progress in the course of the flight. October 16. The Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. J., visited Mercy on October 16, and gave a most delightful talk. The Sodality had looked forward to his visit with great eager- ness and was not disappointed. Mercy sodalists volunteered their services with a most enthusiastic, Just ask usll' October 23. Thus far there have been live general Sodality meetings. September 12 was chosen for the first meeting, the splen- did take-off on the fiight to promote de- votion to Our Lady and her Son. The oflicers were selected. At the second meet- ing on September 26, an explanation of the League of the Sacred Heart and of the next monthis intention, Family Pray- er , was given. On the First Friday the sodalists kept constant vigil before the Bles- sed Sacrament and attended Benediction at the activity period. On October 13 the sodalists received Holy Communion in a body at the 8 o'clock Mass. On October 18 the oflicers attended the sodality con- vention, at which the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. J., presided. The fifth meeting embodied a Chesterton program and readings and talks to further devotion and love for our Heavenly King. November 13. The Sodality revived the spiritual vim, vigor, and vitality of the sodalists by their spiritual meetings, before the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday and at the Sodality Mass on Monday. The features of the American education week were presented to the students by the Ju- nior Class. Those taking part were as fol- lows: Eva Zwitter, Audrey Collette, Vera- mae Meneratti, Inez Taylor, Henrietta Malsack, Barbara Drexler, and Geneva Strobel. November 27. Work! Save! Pray! This slo- gan was suggested by a program given by the Freshmen of Room 10. Other features were a talk on missionary work and a poem The Missionary Spirit . The Fiction Committee offered a dramatization of the book Mother Machreef' given by the following girls: Announcer, Eileen Jordan, Bernard, Ruth Deusterg Father Boone, Vir- ginia Genrickg Alice, Jane Skinner. A quiz on the parliamentary law lesson given in the Queen? Work helped to make the meeting interesting. The Sodality council of the Catholic high schools met at Mercy Higli on November 24.

It closed Friday with a general Sodality meeting at which the Sophomores of Room 5 drama- tized The Way of Lifen, a story taken from the vocation number of the Sacred Heart Mexsenger. The seniors and juniors sponsored a sodality reunion in the form of a pre-lenten social in honor of the sodal- ists of the classes of 1929 and 1930. The Non-fiction program was in the form of a one-team debate, the afiirmative as represented by Ruth Deuster, Mardine Tobin, and Virginia Genrick, being the only side present. The debate was on the advisability of reading My Changeless Friend . March 9. After the Sodality Mass the Rev. J. Clark encouraged a study of the life Page Sixty-eight of our Lord, stressing particularly the Pas- sion. The students appreciated Father Clark's timely remarks. March 13.

Room 7 gave a play, An Afternoon Sewing Circle, written by the girls them- selves. This play was in the form of a sewing circle with conversational tid-bits of current literature, gleaned from various Catholic periodicals.

D., Ph. D. But the Catholic students of Mil- waukee would sacrifice much to see and hear the Archbishop. Saturday was not such a beautiful day as far as weather was concerned, but the sodalists assembled at the Gesu Church one hundred per cent strong. The Ofiice of the Blessed Virgin was recited during Mass. After Mass all the students assembled in the Marquette University Gymnasium. At first some noise of chairs and voices was heard, and -then suddenly the noise ceased, His Excellency, Archbishop Stritch, had entered. A short program was given in his honor. The speakers summarized briefly what the sodalists of Wisconsm were doing. The last feature of the program was an address by His Excellency. He told the students that this meeting of the sodalists was the best and finest reception he had seen. I know char no matter how insignificant or great the task is going to be, the loyal sodalist will cooperate with His Excellency, Archbishop Stritch. Ross JASTROCH '32 Our Retreat ETREAT is a time during which we try to detach ourselves from the world and attach ourselves to Christ. It is traditional at Mercy to have an annual re- treat, and this event is eagerly looked forward to by all the students, because it always proves to be extremely worth while. Reverend Father joseph F. Kiefer, S. J., gave us our retreat this year. A more inter- esting speaker could hardly be found. We enjoyed his talks very much because he pic- tured everything so vividly that we couldn't help seeing the vital issues. Although he was very humorous, one could grasp the deep thought underlying all he said. We were for- tunate in having such a wonderful retreat master, and none of the seniors will ever for- get our last retreat made at Mercy. I hope that all of us are so convinced of the impor- tance of annual retreats that we will con- tinue the practice throughout our lives. MARY IRCINK '31 Page Sixty-nine , ,, motion was carried at the December The activities of the Parent-Teacher As- ahi!-KV 6119 gleam Kiwi? The Parent-Teacher Association At Mercy ELIGION, Loyalty, and Serviceu- those words mean a great deal to every girl at Mercy High School. Might they not also be the banner under which Mercy's Parent-Teacher Association does its praiseworthy work? What could be more religious than following the com- mand of Our Lord to care for His little ones? Who are more loyal than our parents and teachers? The Uservicel' which they have ren- dered to Mercy cannot be estimated, bun it has made every Mercyite and alumna grate- ful for the benefits derived from it. To try to express what the P. T. A. has meant to Mercy would be difficult indeed. sociation this year have been more extensive and noteworthy than ever before. Each year the Association becomes a stronger and more active part of Mercy's school life. Wonderful hopes can be had for the future, if each year's growth can be a prediction. At the September meeting, the Parent- Teacher Association began its yearly activi- ties. An advisory board was appointed, con- sisting of Mrs. M. Schauer, Mrs. W. Wolff, and Mrs. C. Rein. Board meetings are held the Friday previous to the monthly meeting of the Association. Mrs. Lamers was made chairman of the program committee. It was decided that the senior mothers' card party would be held on October 8. The October meeting was made specially interesting by an address given by Rev. Ed- Page Seventy muncl Goebel on The Relation of the Parent and Teacher to the Child . A one-act play How the Story Grewl' furnished the entertainment of the November meeting, all members extend hearty congratu- lations to the cast, which was as follows: Mrs. Brown ---- Mrs. Joseph Ford Mrs Green - - - Mrs. Walter Wolff Mrs. Bean - - - Mrs. john Pellcofer Mrs. Rice - - - - Mrs. Carter Rein Mrs. Doolittle - - Mrs. Edward Razner Mrs. Snow - - - Mrs. Rudolph Talslcy Mrs. Taylor - - Mrs. Matthew Schauer Mrs A White ---- Mrs. George Fries meeting that a check of 5500.00 be given to the Sisters of Mercy. An illustrated lecture on Bethlehem and the Nativity was given by two members of the Marquette Lecture Bureau. At the January meeting plans were made for a parent-daughter party on February 16. Father Barbian addressed the assembly on the Value of Catholic Education . Five- minute talks on Why I Send My Daughter to Mercy High School were given by fathers of Mercy studens, Mr. joseph Beclnarelc, judge john C. Kleczlca, Mr. Joseph Starck, Mr. Walter Wolff, Mr. John Lawler, and Mr. Patrick Hassett. The school orchestra completed the program with several excellent selections. The February meeting featured the parent- daughter party. Every one attending the party disistv' he gleam rfb-PJ declared that it was a great success. There were three hundred parents and daughters present. At the March meeting the members were entertained by the school orchestra and band. The oflicers of the association have at- tended both the City Council Meetings of Parent-Teacher Associations and the Catho- lic League meetings and have endeavored by this means to further the interests of our school association. Mercy High was appointed the place of meeting for the League of Catholic Parent- Teacher Associations of the State. This meet- ing was held April 6. The Mercy P. T. A. acted as hostesses on this occasion. The Mercy P. T. A. has proved a most valuable asset to Mercy High, not only by the financial aid it has given, but even more by its moral support and generous cooperation. MARY SHIRLEY GEVAART '30 Mas. HENRY GEVAART, Secretary The Alumnae WOULD count that man idle who might be better employedf' said Seneca, a Roman sage. He could not accuse the Alumnae of Mercy High School of inactivity if he looked now at' the past year. ' Catherine Kiely, President, was assisted in her worlc by Anna Dropp, Vice-President, Sister Anna Marie, Corresponding Secretary, Eleanor Rice, Recording Secretary, and Esther Ratke, Treasurer. The following members comprised the Advisory Board: Genevieve Farley, Helen Dempsy, Margaret Whaley, Alice Kriege, and Francis Gramling. The hrst real task and pleasure was the planning of the reception for the Class of '30. On Sunday morning, june 15, the Reverend F. A. Gosiger, S. J., offered the Sacrihce of the Mass in the chapel. Immediately follow- ing, the Reverend Thomas Moore, S. J., delivered a most interesting and inspiring sermon. The banquet in the cafeteria was made doubly enjoyable by the community singing between courses. After-dinner speech- es were given by Catherine Kiely, President, Florence Loeser, President of the 1930 Class, and Rose Mietus, Frances Gramling acted as toastmistress. Margaret Wlialey, Mary Ma- rone, and Nora Kiely contributed musical numbers, and Jane Dougherty and Sylvia Tadych gave readings. The program was de- lightful throughout. on September 24 the Alumnae presented a purse to their beloved Mother M. Evan- gelist as a tolcen of appreciation and affection from her old friends and former pupils on the occasion of her golden jubilee. Florence Smith was the General Chairman of the purse. In the place of the annual Christmas Sale sponsored by the Alumnae, we ind a large number of Alumnae members standing back of Mercy's new project in another way, namely, by being patrons of her plays. In this new way of showing their appreciation, the Alum- nae members have proved their loyalty. The annual election of officers tool: place on March 8. The results are as follows: Pres- ident, Mat'y O'Moore, Vice-President, Esther Ratlce, Recording Secretary, Loretta Fries, Treasurer, Victoria Talslcy. To Sister Mary Dominica, our Honorary President, and to the Sisters who have helped us during the year by their prayers and their example, we offer our sincere expressions of gratitude. To the Class of '31 we extend felicitations. May we suggest that you ever treasure in your memory an aim-a goal after which you will strive? 'KThou must diligently make it thy aim, that in every action or outward em- ployment, thou be inwardly free, and master of thyself, and that all things'be under thee, and not thou under them. ELEANOR RICE, Secretary Page Seventy-one sighs-KM Elle gleam ffl?-43 Samuel Pepys' Diary, March 16, 1930 P WITH the rising of the sun and about mine business, which today is to discover and recount the experiences of the members ofthe Class of '27. I find Odelia Last at her desk, helping to Make Milwaukee Famousvg Ruth Krofta and Isabel Rutkowski, as inseparable as ever, hurrying off to supply the patrons of Morris F. Fox, investment house, with the latest stock and bond quotations, Marcella Idzikow- ski, Eleanor Jack, Alice Peksa, and Leona Scully all rushing to their places of business to start the wheels of industry on their for- ward marchg Agnes Gron hurrying down town from St. Catherine's, where she is living, and Alma Ferlco assisting in her father's store. I step into one of the city high schools and find the fortunate younger generation receiving the benefit of Marion Shields' math- ematical mind, and Genevieve O'Leary's pen- chant for Spanish, they are both pratice teaching. On my way, I am almost bowled over by the speeding car of a lady of leisure on her way to a bridge or tea, perhaps, me thought, Leona Jung, or Dorothy Kozourek, or even Alice Welsh. Were I not so light of foot, I would probably be cared for at a hospital by either Erma Murphy or Helen Groskopf, or perhaps, carried to my home and there be visited by another nurse, Sylvia Kania. However, as I am still whole and entire, I enter the halls of learning at the M. U. Medical School and find Frances Gramling, who bids fair to be a prominent Pediatrician of the future, gaining extensive knowledge. I also telephoned Whitewater Normal, where Olive Schatzman is a member of that to-be-pedagogical body. My weary footsteps bring me to a row of Page Seventy-two little homes, I find Mildred Boucha Jorgen- son, Lucille Weber Barnett, and the former Phyllis Prybyla all preparing meals for cloting husbands. And when I see the sons of Lillian Goff Smrz, Elizabeth Tutkowski Heim and Rose Lukaszewski Kedziora I cannot help wondering why they are insuring a bright future for Marquette High, instead of their own Alma Mater. , Back to the shops, I pause to gaze upon a flowing wedding veil, I am not startled to see Rose Friesch and Esther Fons contem- plating its purchase. Later as I cringe before the sales girl at the Boston Store and confess in a quavering voice that I have not my charge card with me, I incur the wrath of Beryl Kennedy, who is in the Authorization Department there. Completely overcome with the surprise I experience upon seeing all the wonderful things that the class of 1927 are doing, I step into a telephone booth to summon a taxi, and the voice of Helen Olszewski, under the awe-inspiring title of Information , comes to me across the wire. Reaching home, I Hnd awaiting me a letter from St. Joseph's Hospital in Janesville, where Theresa Moyer is preparing herself for a nurse's career. I bethink me also of Sister Mary Joan, this year returned to Milwaukee and teaching at St. Patrick's School, and wonder why only one of our spirited class has embraced the higher life. My head nods over this lengthy entry, but still I must confess that I have not been able to discover the whereabouts of all my erstwhile classmates. Good wishes to all and good night! KATHRYN O'CoNNoR '27 gifglyv 6.119 gleam J Class HE CLASS OF 1930 has been out in the world for nearly a year trying to make it a better place in which to live. The high standards which were placed before us at Mercy still stand before us, always at our command in our various occu- pations. We have chosen many different paths. fThere,s nothing like diversion, is there?j Some of us have turned domestic. In this group we find Lottie Bienio, Daria Faust, Florence Inkman, Ruth Kettenhofen, Sylvia Kosinoski, Christine Koszarek, Betty Rostron, Mtlriel Rausch, and Elizabeth Talsky. Their household duties afford them some leisure, which accounts for their thorough enjoyment of life. Then we find a great number, including Ruth Bannish, Marie Bondy, Lucille Brand- zolewski, Bernice Ferko, Mary Gevaart, Hat- tie Kierznowski, Katherine Koch, Alice Kunda, Margaret Kriege, Florence Loeser, Sophia Macliowski, Irene Maziarczyk, Marion Mie- tus, Irene Patock, Evelyn Schwartz, Rose Seating, Alice Wojtecki, and Marie Weser- ski in the business world. We see Alice Hicks working busily in an ofiice during the morn- ings and then spending the afternoons joy- fully in an art school. She's the renowned artist of our class, you know. Evelyn Faber attends Miss Brown's Business College and wogks whenever an opportunity presents it- sel . We can visit Gertrude Bachinski at Miseri- corclia Hospital, where she is in training. Dorothy Koceja is rapidly progressing toward the completion of her life-long desire, to be of '30 i a registered nurse. At present she is earnestly engrossed in medicinal studies at St. Mary's Hospital. Some of us have decided to further in- crease our knowledge in the arts and sciences. As a result you will find Florence Amunson, Marion Bautz, Arla Hirsch, Marie Weitzer, Dalla Zulkowski, and Elizabeth Zaun at State Teacl1er's College. The school noted for its Golden Avalanche had its attractions for Irene Gyzinski and Louise Schendt, so we see them plodding along on the highway of learning at Marquette University. Sylvia Tadych is enjoying boarding-school life to its fullest extent at Rosary College in River Forest, Illinois. Mount Mary College has its representation in Dorothy Marks. Those at Catholic schools are still actively interested in school Sodality work. It will always be one of the main attractions of our college days. We trust that all are doing their bit in their parish societies. Three of our number have pursued the higher lifeu. Marcella Gardner, now Sister Mary Judith, Alice Kielpinski, Sister Mary Philotheag and Mary Sheahan, Sister Mary Electa, received the habit of the Sisters of Mercy on August 16, just two months after their graduation. They testify to having spent a blissfully happy year in the Mercy novitiate at Des Plaines-with no regrets, but very particular joy, in having given to God the days of their young womanhood. Time certainly does fly! Nevertheless, the Class of 1930 is striving to reach a high goal in the short time allotted to it.

Leaving all other preliminaries out, here is the game. Milwaukee starts out with a bang . Three baskets in a row are made in our favor. Oh! how Chicago is plugging. Ar the end of the first quarter the score is 7-6 in favor of Milwaukee. Keep it up, girls. We'll beat them yet. Chicago is stepping on it but still it's close quarter. At the half Chicago leads by two baskets, the score being 18-14. A little rest and the battle begins all over again. Both teams are working hard. Milwaukee feels at home with this two- court, but still' the floors cannot be made less slippery. Another quarter is over, and still Chicago is leading, 21-17. One uarter to play. Come on Milwaukee! All ready? Chicago is going like a house on fire. Milwaukee is slowly following, but they're working hard. Wl1at's this? There goes Mucky. She's down-and out. U, Rah, Rah, Mucky. Are you all right? Surely. Again the game is resumed. What's this? There's D. Tobin on the Hoot. No, sheis getting up again. Oops, my dear, she's clown. They're carrying her off the floor- but the game must go on. Only a few seconds, and neither team makes any pro- gress. The game ends and Chicago is vic- torious with a score of 29-23. Although we didn't beat them, the score made us feel good. Milwaukee will win over them yet! Sister: Would you like some pie, Doro- thy? D. Toebak: Is it customary? Sister: No, it's apple. Sister: After what battle did Gen. Wolf say I die happy ?

Their uni- forms were worn inside out, and to com- plete the outfit they wore large colored hair ribbons.

I really can't afford to overlook the fact that they put on a very amusing program in the auditorium this noon.

Something tells me that we'll have to keep going to wipe them off the map. October 10-During the eighth period two Marquette students gave an illustrated lecture on the life of Father Marquette. October 14-The juniors are first today. We collected for a patron in our class this morning, and I brought in a five- doilar ad. I'm not saying that that's why we won, but every little bit helps.

I know we're going to like him. November 27-Thanksgiving Day! It's nice to think about all the things you have to be thankful for on this day. I've got so many that I have no time or space to list them. But, while we were enjoying ourselves today, Ruth Leuckart, a senior, went to spend Thanksgiving Day in heaven.

She was loved by everyone. December 1-The juniors and seniors at- tended Ruth's funeral. It's too sad to think about, much less to write about. A man from Marquette came to Mercy today. He practised the Office with us in preparation for a reception for His Excellency, Archbishop Stritch, by the Wisconsin School Sodalities. Good news came today in the form of a letter from His Excellency saying he would visit Mercy on December 12. December 3-Mother Xavier's namesday. We all congratulated her. We girls owe very much to her. What would our par- ties be without her? December 4-Sister Barbarafs namesday. Of course, we congratulated her, too. The girls of the school like her, but they don't own her as we girls of Room 8 do. We're especially privileged. December 12-A day to remember! His Excellency, Archbishop Stritch, visited Mercy, and on Foundation Day at that! He gave benediction in the chapel, after which a program was given. Then His Excellency gave a very interesting talk. At the end he said that if he wanted to say that he was munificent, he must certainly give us the rest of the day off. December 13-Today we attended the con- vocation of all the Wisconsin Sodalities at the Marquette gym. Here we again saw the Archbishop. First, we heard Mass at the beautiful Gesu Church. During the Mass, which was celebrated by His Excellency, we recited the Little Ofiice of the Blessed Virgin. After Mass we went to the Marquette Gym for the program. December 19-WI-IAD had ia very tal- ented group of musicians broadcasting today. Who do you think they were? M. H. S. Choral Club and Orchestra. Three songs were sung by the choral club.

Reverend Henry Riot- dan of St. Francis Seminary gave us a very instructive address on religious vocations. February 11-Again in friendly rivalry we meet St. Mary's in a basketball battle. A game worth seeing, and, of course, we won with a score of 28 to 16. February 12-just imagine! We heard the Pope this morning! A radio was installed in the auditorium, and from 9 o'clock until 11:20 we listened in. An Abraham Lincoln Contest was staged by the members of the Senior Class. Medals were awarded, the first to Marion Mehegan and the second to Mildred Rampson. All did very well. February 15-A Sodality reunion took place today. The seniors and juniors and the classes of 1921 and 1930 attended. Bridge and bunco were played, and lunch was served later. February 16-The band is at its height. Feet are gliding over the floor. Cards are flying over the tables. The parent- daughter party is in full swing. February 19-What do you think happened today? Mercy afiirmative defeated Pio Nono negative. This gives us two vic- tories and one defeat in the debate con- ference thus far. Whether we tie for first place or lose out to Marquette, will be decided by the debate with St. Iohn's. February 25-Our team played Holy Angels team today. The score was 14-26 in the favor of our opponents. However, our team put up a good fight. February 27-Our girls debated St. John's team today. Yes, Mercy won! According to the judge, the score was 99 to 100. Three victories and one defeat makes us tie with Marquette. Another debate to decide the championship. March 4-Marquette is champion.

Why, we had a debate here between a Texas college and Marquette University, and they gave us the cutest entertain- ment afterwards-I mean the Texas men did. An Englishman, who had come from England a short time before, as- sisted by a freshman from Texas, showed us rope and whip tricks.

Both of their faces shone as they tried to talk at once. Let's go up to Mildred's house and talk and tallc and talk. We have so much to tell you and so much to hear from you. Mildred has a surprise for you too, so let's hurry, bubbled Mary excitedly. I just can't wait to see them all, in fact, I can't contain myself. 1,11 die if we cion't hurryli' shrieked Ellen. The two sped down Wisconsin Avenue in Mary's yellow roadster to a pretty little suburb. The car stopped in front of a mod- est bungalow. Ellen dashed up the steps into the arms of Mildred and Alice. Now for the surprise, demanded Ellen, after the embracing finished. Isn't he ador- able! she gasped, after a little blue and white bundle had been put into her arms. Why shoulcln't he be? asked Mildred, proudly gazing into Junior's big brown eyes. But he must go now, so we can talk quite undisturbed. ., I Tell us all about your honeymoon in Africa, spolce up Alice, who had not had a chance to tall: as yet. Tell us about everybody and everything, and when you finish we'll begin. To begin at the beginning, we met Dolores Pellcofer on our way to New York. CBetter Cleaning- V.

She isn't a bit changed, and her hair still stands up in back. Cecilia Burbach is her secretary and business manager, and they get along in perfect harmony as usual. She told me Dolores Tobin is the head of a home for the aged, and that she is writing a book on athletics for the infirm. On board ship we were sitting on deck chairs studying our companions when a woman who looked very familiar passed. She was dressed in the latest Parisian styles and had the look of a professional. Wlien she saw me sitting there, she came over. I was delighted to see Isabel Kern! She said she was going over to Paris to take the much coveted part of Lady Macbeth. She told me there was some one on board I would like to see. Naturally I was very curious. Imagine my surprise when she introduced me to the Captain's wife, Patricia Bellew. As a result we sat at the Captain's table all the way across. After dinner we adjourned to the drawing room for coffee and some entertainment. Joseph- ine Kavage was singing a duet with Mildred Roark when we entered. They were going to Roumania to sing at the crowning of King Carol. On the afternoon of the third day out I began to feel rather odd and de- manded a nurse. My need was answered by Helen Ziarkowski who, with aid of that famous dietitian, Alice Zakowski, soon re- stored my normality. The ship then stopped at a small island to let us take the next boat to Africa. A small welfare station offered rest to weary travelers and inform- ation to those apt to lose their way. Sophia Zimna and Lottie Lewandowski were in charge and should receive much credit for the way they conducted it. Our journey was short and swift after we boarded the second ship. We heard mass at a small chapel, and afterwards had quite a talk with Sister M. Rudolph and Sister M. Gil- bert fEvelyn Karr and Marion Mehegan respectivelyj. They told us that if we went deep enough into the jungle we should see Lucille Fries who was writing a book on wild animal life in the jungle.

Speaking of Marge reminds me of Cath- erine Bakehouse, remarked Mary. I saw her in Switzerland. She has returned to the land of her ancestors, and is often heard yodeling on the peak of the Alps. And Isabel Rice is an interior decorator! She did our house over last year and fell OH the ladder three times! exclaimed Alice. Remarlcal9lel I saw Catherine Regan in England trying to compile a book of litera- ture to suit herself, laughed Mary. At one time on our way back the waves seemed very large, and I looked over the rail and saw Angeline Stott swimming he- side us. We had quite a chat and she told me that Estelle Goralc was making a non- stop flight around the world and every time she seemed to he weakening, Helen Stan- kowslci, her companion, would strike up a tune on her violin which would revive Es- telle. They were going strong, thanks to Helen. I lost sight of Angeline among the waves, but my fears were soon quieted when I saw Sylvia Zolinski in a row boat catch- ing up to her. From wave to wave she towed, and on reaching Angeline gave her some of Emily's Certified Milk from the Herda Dairy Farm in Hales Corners, ad- ded Ellen. You would have died if you could have seen Dorothy Meyers in Egypt, trying to solve the eternal problem of the Sphinx, laughed Mary convulsively.

Mary interrupted, When we were sailing down a canal in Venice we heard a beauti- ful strain coming over the water. To our amazement it was Margaret Hassett who was playing her violin in the gondola next to us. She told us that due to Julia Lauer's and Coletta Link's love for Latin they went' to Rome and in their extensive ex- cavating found a buried city which they immediately called West Allis. Did you hear about Florence and Helen Rozga, Ellen? asked Mildred. They have a funeral home. Business wasn't so good until six months ago when Jane Shields opened up her lunch room. All the cooking was done by Jane. After that the Rozga sisters couldn't handle them all. I believe jane gets a commission from them. Mildred Schmidt teaches the kindergarten in our school. When she passes here every night she looks like the Pied Piper. I bet even he could get a few pointers from her. Sunday was the first time that I had gone to St. Matthewis since my return from abroad. Wlicn I looked up into the choir, I saw some hair flying madly around. After the organ stopped playing and the hair stopped waving, I saw Jane Karr peering wildly out from the debris. I never knew she had talent in that line. Florence Landow- ski is teaching the sign language out in some institution. It was rather hard at first, because she would persist in talking to them, but she's coming along fine now, said Mary. Rosemary Kleczka is a lawyer now, and she is fighting a case for Angeline Mar- ziarczyk, who claims to be the Hrst woman sea diver. She has many friends in the briny deep.

Wl1at ever happened to Florence Schae- fer? asked Ellen. I have not heard a word about her. Oh, we heard she works with Father Lord now. She goes all over the United States starting sodalities and encouraging ones already working. She also furnishes a list of the good movies and books. She is still wearing her raccoon coat and cherishes it as much as ever, explained Mary. And now for the big surprise! It is the one you'll all enjoy as nobody knows any- thing about it. I'll go out and get it, Alice grinned teasingly. Wl1at in the world is she talking about?', I can't imagine. The room suddenly filled with a bright light. Ir was dazzling, and no one could look at the object very long without being temporarily blinded. It was Aliceis engage- ment ring. Wliat a ring it was! It's absolutely gorgeous! was the reply of the less fortunate trio. Well, Ellen, let's get going. Now that you have returned to civilization we can see you every day, so there is no need for this heart-tending farewell. I must get din- ner even though you intend to starve. Pm sorry I haven't any cocoanuts to offer you, Mary said as they rose to go.

Her voice, when any one she calls l've noticed changed of late. I really must know who she is And what the cause may be. Listen, my dear, no longer quiz. I'll tell the tale to thee. Our Mercy held a contest She wanted to reclaim Our tones, which once were rather loud, And make them free from blame. We chose Mary as a model For she, you surely know Could In-lp us as no other Wouldg Through her all graces flow. For three long weeks we tried and tried, And, when the drive Was o'er, We fauna' our girls with tones subdued On each and every floor. That Mercy girl you ask about, Sheis the one who tried her best, A very true blue Mercyite And so are all the rest. MARY DEI.MORE '32 Miss Scherlcenlmch: Why do we knead bread? Serious Mercyite: Because it's good for us. Room 10-Seniors enjoying slides of Washington, one of which persists in diving towards the ceiling.

It went on for ten minutes at a wonderful rate, And then-it was over, and oh, but Wait- On the stage were seated the apqrmative side, But Where, you wonder, does the negative hide? The chairman now proceeded to tell, That the negative in our minds does dwell. The first speaker addressed us with a smile, And interestingly spoke for a While, The second and third, they came and found, The audience listening Well and sound. I just must tell you again, I guess That team was a wonder, and nothing less. The negative, being our audience kind, Did not a single objection find. The last speaker had just said her share. All three were good without compare. Our audience have not very negative been, So they gladly said that the team did win. The Freshies still pride that debate today, They deserve all honors, We gladly say. But Whether they really did so Well Your reading Our Changeless Friend will tell. JOSEPHINE SAGADIN '32 WHAT A CATHOLIC GIRL CAN DO A Catholic girl should not he just another flapper. She should make herself a model, raising herself above the common level. Let her Observe purity in thought, word, .and deed, and modesty in dress. Let her live up to her religious duties, inspiring others to do the same. Let her attend good, clean wholesome movies, thereby helping to abol- ish dangerous ones. Let her show the ex- ample of a rehned, cultured lady when at parties and places of amusements. A Catholic girl is able to luring souls to God. Many times she has an opportunity to prove to non-Catholics the power of Im- maculate Mary's intercession with God and the mercy in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She can induce even non-Catholics to pray, make novenas, offer Masses, etc., especially when they wish a temporal favor. Is she not an apostle when she brings souls to God? It is surprising tothink of the immense good which a Catholic girl can do. Indeed, if all Catholic girls would go out into the world with an ardent desire to do good, real good would be accomplished. LORAINE HOGAN '32 HOMEWORK fWitl1 apologies to Stevenson, and my teachers, At evening when the lamp is lit, Around the fre my parents sit, They sit and read and talk and laugh While I work hard and finish half. For with my many books I crawl Wlrere I'm alone against the wall, And follow Caesar in his track- It seems as though he'll ne'er come back. There in a corner, lost to all Except the Roman legions, I fall Almost asleep, then with a jerk, I realize I have homework. There are the squares, the circles too, Which I've been warned are much past due. And there are themes so hard to write- I wish so much that I were bright. I see the others far away, As on the other side they stay, And I, like to a gallant knight, Work hard, because I know it's right. And when I hear my mother say To bed you go without delay, I gladly leave my stack of work, Relief from it I never shirk.

It was rather hard to feature- You know the reason why. 'Tnfas then the girls got started And Worked with might and main, With play they'd long since parted Though it caused them all some pain. Their papers piled up higher, They ventured speech quite blue, But the teacherls Words were dire, There's not much left to do. Again they reached for note-books, And though the pile did mount, Their sighs were met with fearsome looks, She said, This Work's of no account. This caused someone to blunder, The stack on them did fall, And as they all Went under, They heard, This is no work at all. This poem has a moral It's very plain to see! 'Tis true the words aren't floral, But they do express our plea.
