The trials of those first few days when we never could remember where we were supposed to go! The sophs added to our troubles by almost endless pestering. Then came that day of days when sophomores, juniors, and seniors were entertained at the expense of the freshies. Although we pretended to be fairly abused, we enjoyed it immensely and were as sorry as any one else to see that day pass. Nineteen hundred twenty-eight was a red-letter year for Mercy, because we had our first visit from Father Lord, who fired us all with a desire to organize a Sodality of the Blessed Virgin at Mercy. Please, 'Mister, do you want to go fishingf' No, no, a sweet Mercyite wasn't playing hookey. It was the an- nual bazaar. Of course you knew that the freshies handled the Fish Pond. But all was not joy, for Sophie Kacz- marek, one of our classmates, died. It is suflicient to say that we will always re- member her. Thus with its laughter and tears our first year at Mercy came to a close. September! How we lorded it over the freshmen, for we were now sophomores. Biology! What memories it recalls to our minds! The pious rabbit fhe escaped from the laboratory, and to the surprise of all was found in the chapelj , the frogs, the butterflies, and last but not least, the ill-fated flowers we so good-heartedly planted on the campus! During this year another classmate, Re- Pnge Sixteen gina Nowicki, died. We all loved her, but how much more He must have loved her to call her to Him! Juniors! It's quite a step from a lower classman to an upper classman. You ac- tually feel different. Will we ever forget the famous History of the Jews, and the time we had in keeping Moses, Ab- salom, and Jeremias in their respective places? Our fall campaign was changed, and we concentrated our efforts on patrons and ads for our play. Did we go over with a bang? just ask us! Our junior year was memorable be- cause it brought us a visit from our new archbishop. We decided at once that we were going to like him. Two of our juniors earned places on Mercy,s debate teams in the Catholic High School Conference. After an extra debate to work off the tie, we surrendered the championship to Marquette. But we weren't disheartenedg we were justly proud of our girls. Seniorhood-the end and aim of all our struggles. We are pardonably proud of being seniors this year, for this is a won- derful year, at least in anniversaries. First and foremost was Mercy's centenary, which we celebrated with our beautiful pageant. Next was the bi-centenary of the birth of George Washington, and who is there who can not find something to imitate in the life of the father of our country? And so with almost four years at Mercy behind us and with our eyes fixed on our class play and graduation, we prepare to bid good-bye to Mercy saying, May suc- cess always be yours.', Betty Conley, '32. Eunice Pfeifer, '32. 961. it. 5 M. N as gleam Farewell Four years and then Adieu! A night of joy, pain, too, Commencement gives its share of bliss, But uppermost it seems is this, Our grief at leaving our dear school. How we shall miss each law and rule, Each custom, each tradition, and Ideal! Our Alma Mater long has been The center of our lives, and when We part, ah! then our thoughts we must Reveal. Four years and then Farewell! How much of pain doth dwell In every parting glance, for now Each senior lass at length must bow To that which cannot be escaped, To leave those teachers who have shaped Her life, all those who have restrained Her youth, All those' who by example sweet Have shown her what is just and meet, Refined her so that she is not Uncouth. Four years and then Good-bye! Some tears, a sob, a sigh, As every senior sick at heart From friends and comrades dear must part, Those friends with whom she passed the days Of high school, and with whom the maze Of joys and sorrows intertwined Was trod, With whom she joined in work and play, With whom she's oft knelt down to pray, With whom sheis raised her heart and mind To God. Four years and then we leave Our Alma Materg grieve For friends and teachers, oh! what woe Does fill our hearts now we must go Out from these Walls, though not a time When we must seek some distant climeg Yet now for means of sustenance We sigh, Or some of us perhaps may aim At higher education, fame Garnered by study, but all must say Good-bye!

Miss Almarie Dreyer, master mind of the science world, hops into the plane to the strains of Queen Sagadin and her Royal Nightingales accompanied by the soloist, Miss Eva Zwitter. With goggles and hel- met fastened securely, and with her cus- tomary grin, Miss Sachse climbs into the cockpit, shouts Contact, and they are off. Having settled herself comfortably, Miss Dreyer prepares to read the morning paper, when a voice at her elbow attracts her attention. Turning, she beheld the smiling countenance of Miss Agrippine Topolinski, famous lawyer. They are soon chatting gayly. Oh, yes, says Miss Topolinski after a while, 'Tm on my way with my secre- tary, Miss Skovron, to straighten out some business entanglements of Miss Kreuzman, the famous actress. Soon the dinner bell is sounded, and all rush to the grand dining-room. They eat with gusto, for they are tempted with the delicious dishes of the culinary wiz- ard, Miss Gertrude Wros. During the meal they are entertained with a cornet solo by Miss Martha Washak and a tap dance by Miss Dorothy Brill. Then they turn on the radio to listen to the debut of Miss Marcella Gerber at the Metropolitan Grand Opera in New York. Their peace is soon shattered, however, for they have been compelled to make a forced landing on the Meneratti and O'Leary Cattle Ranch in Arizona. The deft fingers of pilot Sachse soon right the wrong, and they resume their interrupted journey. Early dawn finds them encircling the Page Eighteen- fog-covered city of San Francisco. When they land, Miss Topolinski bids farewell to her friend and departs for Hollywood. Miss Dreyer, anxious to make good use of the time before they take off for Japan, sets out to explore the neighborhood. She visits the monument erected to Miss Bea- trice Salter, who gave her life in order to save three children from the waters of the Pacific. The magnificent Spanish home of Miss Clementine Wojciechowski, built by the renowned architect, Miss Gertrude Erdmann, is not forgotten. Nor does she fail to visit the art gallery where hang the prize works of that world famous painter, Miss Dolores Bodus. Time does not permit further exploration, although she desires to see the orphanage erected and managed by Miss Jane Masalewicz and Miss Phyllis Rozga. On her way to the airport she stops to treat herself to some of Miss Czerwinski's delicious candy fshe has fifty stores stretched across the continentj, and there she meets Miss Helen Sanger, star reporter on the San Francisco Sun. On reaching the ship, Miss Dreyer no- tices that among the new passengers are many famous personages. Among them are Miss Inez Taylor, renowned Latin scholar, on her way to the East from whence she would fly to Rome to delve into the ancient realms of Latin litera- ture, Miss Eleanor Potrykus on her way to establish a nurses' training school in Japan, Miss Evelyn Waldhuetter and Miss Stella Winnicki, the greatest women basketball coaches in the world, going to teach the Chinese girls the art of this game, and Miss Sylvia Fons traveling to the Orient to gain more information for her book, The Dark Ages of China. As the ship glides upward, Miss Dreyer again attempts to read the paper. Eagerly she scans the sport pages. There she finds that Rose Budny has defeated Martha Danielak in the United States tennis finals, that Gertrude Cook has come out aa ea gleam at victorious over Rose Jastroch in the golf tournament for the championship of the West and is now to play Eunice Pfiefer, champion of the East, for national hon- ors, and that Martha Bieganski has broken the record of Antonine Nowakowski in the swim from Los Angeles to Catilina Island. She turns her attention to the so- ciety section and reads, Mr. and Mrs. Collette of Park Avenue, New York, an- nounce the engagement of their daughter, Audrey, popular member of the younger set, to Mr. Gilbert Lefebvre, a late gradu- ate of the University of Notre Dame. Farther down she notes, Miss Dorothy Kurth has departed for Germany, where she will continue her studies in music. Nor is the literary page forgotten. It contains a book review of Miss Alice Pai- kowski's latest novel, In Pararlisr, also a criticism by the noted critic, Miss Michal- ski, on Miss Helen Ogonoski's latest vol- ume of poems. On reaching Tokio, Miss Dreyer meets Miss Kathryn Ford, who is traveling in the Orient with her faithful friend, Miss Amelia Hirsch. Together they visit the American Embassy, and there they spend a delightful afternoon in the company of the American prime minister to Japan, Miss Emily Mazurek. Their next stop is Shanghai, China. Here they leave three of their passengers, Misses XValdhuetter, Winiiiclci, and Fonsg but they add another to their group, Miss Rita Hasler, ho has just returned from northern China, where she had visited Sister Dorothy Pokrop, a missionary nun stationed there. Russia sees this palace on wheels next. At the airport they are met by Miss Hen- rietta Malsack, sent by the American government to investigate Russia's social condition. Here also has Miss Anna Zimny stationed herself for life in order to in- struct the inhabitants in better ways of living. Soon they land in Berlin. Here three more passengers are added to their list, Miss Joyce Loeper and Miss Geneva Stro- bel, who have just completed their medi- cal course in that city, and Miss Loraine Hogan, superintendent of nurses in the United States, who is returning from an inspection tour of German hospitals. Across Switzerland into Italy, where they stop at the Papal City to visit the Holy Father. Then off to sunny Spain, where they come upon Miss Mary Del- more and Miss Jane Skrzeczkowski vaca- tioning on the Riviera before starting in to train for the coming Olympic games in Switzerland. They are America's cham- pion women skaters. France is honored next on this memor- able trip. Here Miss Lucille DeGrace, agent for Loeser and Bondy Company, importers of French perfumes, boards the plane homeward bound. Miss Florence Ferko, the agent for Rampson and Raw- ley, fashion experts on Fifth Avenue, also enters the ship as a passenger. Across the English Channel through a blinding rain storm they fly. Passing over London, they soon arrive at Oxford Uni- versity, where Miss Betty Conley is head of the Speech Department, and Miss Elea- nor Wfaszak, head of the History Depart- ment. Here two more board the airship, Miss Anna Zepezauer, head of the New York Public Library System, and her as- sistant, Miss Clementine Glubkag they have just finished a tour of the European libraries. After the storm' has passed, the Spirit of Mercy wends her way above the waters of the Atlantic toward New York. At the airport Miss Dreyer is met by her faithful friend, Miss Ethel Erdmann, pri- vate secretary to the president. With bag and baggage they turn their steps toward Herda's Halfway House, where , over a cup of delicious hot coffee, Miss Dreyer gives a vivid description of her recent trip. Geneva Strobel, '32.

People are still talking about the cos- tumes, the dancing, the actors and the beautiful story. The public in general knows that it was a huge success. In fact almost every possible angle of the pageant has been thoroughly discussed, but I think I've found a new one. After many long weeks of tedious prac- tice, the day of days has arrived. The fol- lowing scene takes place at one of the per- formances. It is two minutes before the first curtain. In a little two-by-four dressing room about seventeen girls are packed. Everyone is in a hurry to get dressed so that she can get out of the stuffy room and leave space for those who do not have toigo on the stage immedi- ately. Powder is flyingg makeup is much in demand and curling irons are being in- dustriously applied. Syl, what did you do with my cold cream? I just laid it here a minute ago. Don't tell me that nearly empty box of Kleenex is mine! Why, the Chronicler isn't here! What! Well for goodness' sakes, hurry and get her double dressedli' Oh, here she comes now! Where in the world have you been? Well, if the bridge held you up, why didn't you get out and walk? Here, someone help me get this cape on her. There, your crown is on. Now hurry and get your face made up. At last, she's all ready. Now please get out of here and give me a little room. There goes the curtain. Oh dear, and I didn't even start to dress. Sylvia, may I use that curling iron next? Betty gets it next? Well, is any- one getting it after you, Betty? No? Good. Don't forget to give it to me. Where are all those safety pins? I need everyone of them, or this thing will fall apart. What! England on already? ,, . Australia, are you nearly ready or shall I help you? And so the dressing room chatter goes endlessly on. Accidents happen and quickly are forgotten. The room is al- most entirely emptied for awhile. But then comes the Hnal ensemble and after that the jostling crowd is again in the room, hurriedly putting on street clothes. The colorful characters of Angel, Mother Church, and countries turn into tired ordinary girls who with a hurried good- night hasten to parents who are waiting with praises and congratulations. The dressing room is forgotten tem- porarily, but when our eyes are dim and our hair is gray, dusty yellow scrapbooks will be taken fondly from shelves. and turned to a certain page where a certain program is pasted. And as we turn the pages of the book-like program, tender recollections of those dressing room scenes will return to keep us company during many a dark, dreary hour. Eleanor Starck, ,33.

Marsa Visits Mercy . . By Marsa of Mars fTranslated from the Martianj HEN I was informed by a famous scientific society that I was the one chosen to make an experimental trip to the Earth in behalf of my planet, Mars, I was at first unwilling to go. I had heard many terrifying rumors about the in- habitants of the Earth. Our astronomers reported that the people are very fero- cious, and seem to delight in killing each other. This tendency is particularly no- ticeable in Shanghai, Moscow, and Ma- drid. Our scientists took great interest in studying America, which seems to be a very peculiar country. In the city of Chicago, for example, the people are con- tinually slaughtering each other, both with deadly weapons and seemingly harm- less automobiles. Considering all this, it was only natural that I should be appre- hensive. However, the scientists re- minded me that it was my duty to go- my duty to science and to my planet. They were willing to go themselves, of course, but it was more desirable that a young person should undertake it, for if the journey should last for many years, an older person might die on the way. And so I agreed to make the hazardous trip. Now there was one ray of sunshine piercing the gloom. Of all the reports we had had concerning the Earth, there was one favorable report. This was about an establishment known as Mercy High School. Everyone in Mars was familiar with Mercy. The scientists studied the school with close attention, but could not explain how such a marvelously efficient school could exist. The Mercy teachers are paragons of wisdomg the Mercy stu- dents are paragons of intelligence, virtue, and integrity. The general atmosphere of the school is one of earnest industry, ac- companied by a distinguishing air of re- finement. Now I wished to visit Mercy High School very much indeed, but the chance that I would happen to land in Page Tzmfnfy four that particular spot was one in a million. I might land in the heart of some terrible warring cityg I might land in the scorch- ing desert wastesg I might land in the middle of the ocean. I was prepared for anything. The scientific association had fitted out a huge bullet-shaped rocket in which I was to make the journey. This rocket contained oxygen and supplies sufficient to last for many years. On the appointed day it was taken out to a broad plain and set up ready to be sent off. At the last moment I began to grow more and more worried. What if the people of the Earth would have no way of sending me back? But I had to take the risk forthe cause of science. I climbed through the iron door of the rocket. I bade a tearful fare- well to my relatives and friends. The rocket was ignited, and I shot off into space! I will not describe those terrible days of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty spent within the rocket. During that time I was really more dead than alive, and in such a state of fright that I did not know what I was doing. Finally, after a period of time which seemed a century, I felt myself traveling faster and faster. I was approaching the Earth! Suddenly there was a terrible crash, indicating the impact of the rocket against the Earth. I was thrown violently against the inside wall of the rocket. I slipped into blackness, and knew nothing more. I knew nothing more-until I awoke to find myself lying on a couch surround- ed by many beautiful girls whom I imme- diately recognized as students of Mercy High School. I opened my mouth to speak, but I was gently prevented from doing so by one of the girls, who spoke to me in my native tongue. You are not strong enough to speak Sis yet, she said. You must have quiet and rest. Then she gave me something to drink which put me to sleep immediately. When I awoke for the second time I was alone in the room. I arose feeling quite refreshed, although my legs were somewhat unsteady. I walked toward the door. A girl wearing a navy-blue uni- form and a Cilll blouse and a cheerful smile came up to me. I observed that this was the same one who had previously spoken to me. Oh, there you are, she said to me. Are you feeling all right? I was hoping you would wake up soon so that I could talk to you. I know all about you, you see. You're from Mars. I've studied about Mars. Astronomy is my favorite hobby. i I'Iere,,' I thought, is an intelligent girl. She appeared very much interested in my planet, and constantly plied me with all sorts of questions. NVe had a pleasant little chat together, after which my hostess offered to take me on a tour of the building. To this kind offer I agreed very readily, you may be sure. We walked from room to room, and as we watched the students at work, my L 6,112 gleam 'fin-J guide explained to me everything they were doing. The thing that impressed me most was the air of industry which pre- vailed everywhere. Everyone was Work- ing hard and helping others with cheerful willingness. Whether it was music or art or dramatics, or the study of grammar or history or religion in which they were en- gaged, the same enthusiasm and desire to learn could be observed in everything. The impressions I gained were all favorable ones, and I was kept busy gathering data to bring back to Mars. The Mercy girls also gave me much valuable information about conditions in various parts of the Earth. I had been afraid I would have to leave them and go on a trip round the Earth to secure this knowledge, but the Mercy girls were so well informed on cur- rent events that this was not necessary. I spent many pleasant weeks at Mercy, the memory of Which I shall retain al- ways. But now the time has come when I must return to Mars, for Mars is eagerly awaiting my coming. The success of my expedition I owe to Mercy High School, and I am most grateful for its help. It is with deep conviction that I say to you if all the world were like Mercy, it would be a very happy world indeed. Mary Holan, '33.

They are very rare things, coming only once every one hundred years. You may be sure we considered our- selves thrice blest when we learned that we would have the privilege of aiding the Sisters in pageanting the history of the first epoch of Mercy. It meant going back to grandfather's time and then fur- ther back, back to his father,s time. Oh, it was a great trip! We crossed the ocean of time and brine Hrst, going to the quaintest of green isles in the North At- lantic and visiting a city called Dublin. It was here the setting was laid, here lived a young Irish girl who was about one hundred years ahead of her time, as you will readily agree when you study her life and ideals, her mission and its adaptations to present day needs. NVe were deeply impressed when we learned that she too lived in an atmos- phere designed to rob her of her faith. We saw honors, rank in society, and above all, the awful temptation of riches which her adopted parents laid before her, but so strong was her character, so ardent her faith, that she rose above the raging storm and drew her benefactors into the true fold. Dying, they left her all their wealth, and she was free to have her way in its disposal. She had riches or poverty, mercy or selfishness set before her, and she freely chose poverty and mercy in order that she might be more like her Divine Redeemer, in whose footsteps she was trying to tread. We visited the hallowed spot where she took the vows which sealed the sacred choice that bound her to her King in mystic espousals. Then we saw the thou- sands and thousands of the consecrated girlhood of Ireland, England, Scotland, Australia, America, and Africa who, heed- ing the gospel counsels, follow the Lamb without spot, and constitute a queenly generation, holding aloft the torch of woman's dignity, purity, and devotion in an age all too prone to sacrifice its girl- hood on the altar of the New Paganism. I'm glad we had a Centenary. Yes, it meant work, hours and hours of work for all of us, but it was a labor of love. It brought us back in spirit to the ideal of all true Catholic hearts and homes, a pure girlhood, imbued with all the wealth of the religious inheritance brought to the Emerald Isle Hfteen hundred years ago by the glorious apostle of the Triune God. From this isle of saints and scholars Came Mercy's glorious line. Second leaf of Patrick's three leaves, Jesus' Mercy-for all climes. Margaret Anne Buckett, '34.

Page Tbnty one gffl he gleam NYJ Sherlock Combs Detective Story R. SHERLOCK COMBS was seated before the fireplace smoking his pipe. His friend, Swatsem, was playing solitaire, and, as was his custom, cheating himself when he wasn't looking. Sudden- ly, a knock was heard at the door. Come in, said Sherlock. The door opened, and the prefect of the Room Fi Velle police entered with much blustering. Ah! The warm room is a welcome spot. It,s a bad night! Be seated,', said Sherlock, and tell me what brings you forth into the cold on such a night? It is a strange case, said Monsieur Eu- gene, one which has bailed the sleuths of Mitchell Yard for many months. Well, nothing unusual about that, said Sherlock, but continue. It is a series of strange thefts. A cer- tain young lady, Mademoiselle Di Gen- rickay, who attends a select young ladies: school, was left by her -Grandfather? M. Genrickay a fruit farm which produces most delicious apples and oranges. This young lady, of somewhat delicate consti- tution, keeps either an apple or an orange in her desk in the afternoon, which she eats after school. She is frequently absent at the eighth period, and when she returns immediately after school, the fruit is missing. Combs sat in silent meditation for a tinjie. Finally, he said, Have you any iw on the subject, M. Eugene? XVell, yes. You see, the young ladies never eat at the eighth period, as that is a study period. In fact, since this case has been called to my attention, I have frequently presided at that hour. So it must be an outside job. I came to you, Combs, because of your excellent work on 'The Indoor Girls in the Cafeteria or the Tale of the Flying Sandwich., Page Tbirly-two Well, said Combs, I will work on it, as it seems very interesting, as was my last case, 'Caught on the Fly, or the Tale of the Missing Orange., Several days later, Sherlock appeared at the office of M. Eugene accompanied by three young ladies. This, said Sherlock, is Mademoiselle Di Genrickayf' Yes, said M. Eugene, I know her well, but who are the other two? The thieves! What! They look so innocent. My dear young ladies, I am sure you are not guilty of this heinous crime. It is true, said they, weeping pas- sionately. A guard led them away. M. Eugene glanced at Sherlock. How did you find the offenders? he asked, bewildered. It was simple, said Sherlock. You said the young ladies did not eat at the eighth period. My dear sir, young ladies always eat at the eighth period. How did I discover this? One day I too went with- out food from 11:30 until 3:00. Why, I was so hungry I had to eat my finger nails! Now, if you've noticed, these two culprits have particularly long Hnger- nails. Miss Di Genrickay has hers chewed to the bone, because her lunch is con- tinually being pilfered! One day, the day you were presiding, I sent Miss Di Gen- rickay into her room during the eighth period, and she found Mlle. X calmly eat- ing her apple, sharing it with Mlle. XX. She immediately summoned me. By the way, what do you intend doing with the young ladies? I am sorry, said M. Eugene, but I Hnd it necessary to send them to the House of Bad Leopards. And let that be a lesson to you! P Q. Ai l M2 1 Yily' -. ' 1' i , A ' '. H f? Kifillfiwyl F f ,ff V .34 H Q1X'3?5,QJ+k,y'.e, JE .n M KKJJNJL, .H M5f5f'jfgq,'g5g ' .

Perhaps you think that Latin books haven't the gift of speech, but you are wrong, for when not in use many of us revel in fellow com- panionship. 1 remember distinctly one warm day last September. I was reposing on the top shelf in the book store. The sun sparkled on my colorful crimson and gold cover, which contrasted strikingly with the pure white of my pages. Suddenly I saw a girl come ing from her staring eyes and innocent face I could tell she was a freshie. She spoke to the Sister behind the counter, who came over to my shelf and brought me down. I was placed on the counterg the girl paid for me and put me under her arm. V A few moments later I was carried out into the sultriness of late afternoon. The girl walked slowly to her home. I was soon to learn that a characteristic of my new mistress was slowness. XVhen we arrived at her home, the girl entered and called out, Hello, mother. I just bought a new Latin book. I bet I'l1 love Latin. Whereupon I was handed over to the mother, who duly praised and commented upon my pages of knowledge. For a week or ten days after that I was a privileged character. There were few places my little mistress went that I did not accompany her. I was happy, happier than I will ever be againg it is well that I could not see into the future then. But there came a time when I noticed I was used less and less. More and more was I left in the desk over night. Once my little friend threw me down a whole flight of stairs, and I guess she was angry about something. My little heart was fairly breakingg I knew my little mistress would soon be sorry. Ah! could I only have warned her. 'The weeks sped by with alarming ra- pidity. The first quarter passed, and the second was drawing to a close when I was brought into use a little more. I knew the reason-I had heard exams were coming. But it was too late, although my little friend sat up every night for a whole week to try to make up for lost time. One day my little mistress was handed a piece of paper. Funny how a little slip of paper could cause so much grief! Great tears rolled down her cheeks and onto my open pages. When the others had gone, with one sweep of her hand my mistress pushed me off the desk and onto the floor, where I was kicked into the corner. just then the door opened and a girl came backg she inquired into my friend's grief. I flunked in Latinf' she sobbed. Too bad, consoled the friend, but never mind. Take something else next semester. You bet I will, said my mistress with a sneer in my direction. So now I am again in the book store, but what a change has come over me! My back is limp and broken, my pages crumpled, and my cover dirty. Although the Sister in the book store worked long and hard over me, I shall never be the same. My only hope is that an industri- ous, kind-hearted girl will buy me next September. Patricia Welch, '3 5. Page Tbirly-seven l fe-rv' Q gleam -'fmea A Wonderful Reflector LL was silent throughout the building and the mirror in the lav,' was en- joying a well-earned snooze. Then first period had begun and he was fatigued from the amount of trade he had taken care of that morning. As he himself said, lt was surprising how many of the girls found time to sneak in for a minute or two. So he snoozed on, only to be in- terrupted by the bell announcing that he had exactly two minutes in which to brace himself for the next onslaught. He had awakened with a start, and he now comforted himself with the assurance, YVell, it's only for a few moments and then I can resume my meditations. Not even to himself would the mirror ac- knowledge that he slept most. of the day. The second bell brought his solilo- quy to an abrupt end as the influx of trade began. First came a couple .of freshies from across the hall, weary with the strain of an algebra exam which they had barely survived. Comparing notes, they found that they agreed on exactly two of the problems. Do you mean.t0 say that almost everything in that third problem cancelled? V47 hy I got an HHSWG1' a foot longln And so on until they both became convinced that they would be ex- tremely lucky if they received a fifty. Meanwhile more girls had come in and the mirror was engrossed in the woes of a sophomore with a bad attack of stage- frightg she insisted that it was a physical impossibility for her tolget through her speech at assembly that day. I know I'll break down in the middle of it, she de- clared to her sympathetic companion. But with the ringing of the bell, the girls dashed out, and the mirror was left to wonder whether he would or would not. Nothing of interest happened between Page Thirty-cigbf second and third periods, but after third period another freshie entered with two companions and a pack of woe. From the conversation the mirror gathered that at the study hour just previous she had been summoned to the desk. Wl1atever did she say? demanded the first of her com- panions wlio was sympathetic. Probably told her what we've all known for a long time, replied the sec- ond, who was nothing if not practical. She said that she already had five marks against me for conduct. Seven marks! interjected the sympa- thetic one, you'll never be exempt. That's just what is worrying mef, Well, the practical one grunted, you know how many times you passed notes to Doris, and my own back aches every day from all your nudging and . . . But just then the bell rang and the mir- ror never learned what other misbehav- ior had caused the five marks. At noon, several varsity members came in, and the mirror received some inside in- formation on the next game. After sixth period the timid sophomore of the morn- ing dropped in, and he learned that she hadn't disgraced herself at all. After school several distracted seniors rushed in. lt seemed that they, one and all, were flooded with work. One was a Gleam editor convinced that by no known method could the annual be ready for publication on time. Another was a lead- ing character in the class play, who kept mumbling lines to herself in preparation for rehearsal. l'Altogether it has been a rather full day, sighed the mirror as he summed up the trials, troubles, and tribulations of seven hours, preparatory to getting a real sleep without any interruptions.

Basketball O ONE who is athletically inclined, basketballiis a most alluring sport. It is a clean, wholesome game, and much pleasure can be derived from it. There is pleasure for the players in their effort to gain a victory, and there is pleasure for the spectators in cheering for their par- ticular team. If'you doubt this ask any basketball fan and he will tell you that it is a delightful pastime, interesting and emotional. Besides this there is a greater advantage, that of health. Of course we assume that those who are physically unable to play do not do so, but for those who are fit, Page Forfy-two basketball is a great boon. However, to prevent over-exercising, the rules of bas- ketball have made provision for time- out periods so as not to over-fatigue the players. Then, too, a basketball game is one of the most excellent times for displaying true sportsmanship by playing a clean game and by being courteous to the ref- eree and teammates. The victor learns to take' the victory humbly, the loser, to take defeat with a smile. That is where Mercy's motto fits in admirably. Wheth- er we win or whether we lose, Mercy never goes home with the blues. Antonette Berse, '33. f 1 grew-Q-.Wk 6112 gleam awe--ww Page Forty-three 95?

MUSIC GRADUATES Page F arty-six L Qhe gleam One Hundred Years J? O any imaginative girl, history is a fascinating subject. It tells her of the dreams and hopes, of the sucesses and failures of people as real as herself. To her it is a drama, more thrilling because of its truth. More than ordinarily en- trancing is the history of the institute in which we, in particular, are vitally inter- ested--the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy. On December 12, 1831, the first page of the thrilling drama was written. The heroine is Catherine McAuleyg the Hero, Jesus Christ. Catherine lived only long enough to see her great work thoroughly organized in Ireland and England, and ready to spread fartherg then she left this vale of tears to join her Hero and Bride- groom. From their heavenly domain they watch the beautiful drama steadily de- velop. A year after their foundress's death, some Sisters of Mercy established a foun- dation in Newfoundland, the next year, in the United States, then in fast succes- sion in Australia, Scotland, the West In- dies, Central and South America, and even to southern Africa. Recognizing their bravery and aid in the Crimean War, the English govern- ment erected a monument to the Sisters of Mercy. The superior of the band re- ceived the Royal Red Cross from Queen Victoria. In 1843, a few Sisters boarded a ship bound for the United States. On Decem- ber 21 they arrived in Pittsburgh and during the Christmas holidays they began the visitation of the sick. This strenuous program soon had its effect on the young women, and most useful teachers broke down under their new responsibilities. But Divine Providence sent a rich gentleman who offered them several acres of land outside the city on which to build a boarding school. Soon afterwards a hos- pital was opened, this was followed by an orphan asylum. Then a second founda- tion was established in Chicago, from where the institute spread rapidly in all directions. During the Civil War the Sisters edi- Hed all America by their untiring work with the wounded and dying soldiers. Our government recognized their services by sending officers to their funerals, and by decorating their graves with our Ameri- can Flag. XVhen cholera, yellow fever, and influ- enza epidemics broke out, the Sisters, of Mercy closed their schools and went out to assist the sick and dying, working un- tiringly among victims of these terrible diseases. Wfhen a patient died, they ar- ranged for the burial and then quickly transferred their attention to other vie- tims. At irregular intervals the Mother House called the nuns back for a brief rest. As soon as permission could be ob- tained, they again hurried out to do the works of Mercy. Mother McAuley's religious are to be found wherever the English language is spoken, but in America the recent union showed them to be the largest Sisterhood here. Is it not natural that an organiza- tion so noble in its purposes and so well adapted to the needs of the times has grown rapidly? The drama is not fin- ished,, but we know that the Hero and Heroine are happily contemplating the work of the Sisters of Mercy, for during one hundred years they have been instru- mental in saving many souls and leading many on to greater perfection in the serv- ice of God. Genevieve Michalski, '32. Page Forty-sz'L'er1 The Pageant of Mercy tha 6111: gleam -ffwfaae I-IE year of 1931 commemorated the hundredth anniversary of the found- ing of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy. In keeping with the spirit of the Centenary the Sisters of Mercy presented a pageant which portrayed the history of the institute from its founding in De- cember, 1831. Participants in this Pageant-Masque numbered five hundred, they were stu- dents and alumni of Mercy High School, St. Patrick and Immaculate Conception Schools, and residents of St. Catherine's and St. Clara's Girls' Homes. All co- operated in the most wonderful spirit to make the presentation a success. After long hours of practice, admirable work was done by the special pageant orchestra and the cast. While a reverent spirit per- vaded the entire performance, it was col- orful and dramatic and given with a pol- ished precision which delighted the audi- ence. The Pageant-Masque was given in three episodes. Episode One presented the ori- gin of the congregation on December 12, 1831, when Catherine Mczxulcy, with two of her companions, pronounced her religious vows. Episode Two depicted the growth of the institute in Ireland, Scotland, and England, showing how the soldiers were ministered to on the battlefields, the chil- dren taught in the schools, and the plague stricken nursed in the hospitals. Episode Three pictured the growth of the Congregation in America, The audi- ence thrilled at recollections of the val- iant service rendered during cholera and yellow fever epidemics, the Civil War, fires, floods, drought, and plague. In all these scenes, the Sister of Mercy reveals her noble purpose, the right to spend her life in doing good. In the last scene the Sister of Mercy is crowned among hosts of children singing in the joy of her cor- onation. One by one her children rising up now call her blessed.

Our Retreat VERYONE needs a retreat, for sure- ly when one is on the go three hun- dred and sixty-five days a year, he needs at least three days to himself, three days of complete solitude, away from the hum- drum of the world so that he can think things over, and so that God can whisper words of love and advice into his soul. This year Mercy girls had that oppor- tunity from the twenty-fourth to the twenty-seventh of February. The re- treat master was Reverend Wm. F. I-Iouser, S. J., of Campion College, Wis- Page Forty-eight consin, an excellent spiritual director. He made clear to us the value of prayer and its consequences. He also impressed upon us the malice of sin and the rigor with which it is punished and implored us to recognize our Lord Jesus Christ as our leader, for if we follow Him, our reward will be peace and se- curity in this world, and eternal happi- ness in the next. The many interesting points that were brought out made the retreat a real pleasure, and I'm sure every girl was the better for it.

We believe that the productions we have put on this year surpass those of previ- ous years. Late in September we began our prep- arations for The Pageant-Masquei of Mercy, given at the Pabst Theater, which portrayed NVith words, music, and bright pageantry The story of One Hundred Years of Mercy. Almost every girl in the club was in- cluded in the speaking cast, and our earnest efforts combined with those of the other speakers, the dancers, and the participants in the tableaux helped to make the Pageant one of the most astounding and beautiful stage produc- tions ever witnessed by our audiences. In December the club afforded the en- tertainment at the Parent-Teacher meet- ing with a Christmas program under the direction of Josephine Sagadin and Lor- Pngi' Fifly raine Kreuzman. This same program was presented at the Soldiers' Home a few days later. In February, the club sponsored a one-act colonial play, A Dish of China Tea, given in commemoration of the bi-centennial of Wasliington, Il number of short sketches from his life, and colo- nial readings. Besides affording entertainment in the forms of readings, spegches, and plays, we have been busy on a new phase of work in the speech line at Mercy, the puppet theater. Plans are now being carried out for a puppet show which will be given in the near future. The seniors presented their class play, Once in a Palace, in Mercy's Audito- rium on April 8, 9, 10, and 11. From the congratulations and comments re- ceived we judged it to be another bio success added to our already long l',,5g3 both young and old enjoyed it im',-lense- ly, and audiences left reluctantly when I XSL 6119 gleam f'f'h-ZJ-El? the curtain was drawn at the conclusion of the hnal act. There are, as yet, two very important events for which the entire club is eagerly waiting. The first is the Speech Contest to be given within a very short time. The second is the banquet which will be the final meeting of the present club. At this banquet the girls who have the required number of service points will be given their rewards. To say that the girls have liked the work would be putting it mildly. They have enjoyed it to the fullest extent and have indeed found out that speech is the greatest gift of God to man.

The chapel was filled to capacity, and Holy Com- munion was received by practically every student on each day of the triduum. Our three religion instructors-Fathers Heim, Kennedy, and Tanner-were kind enough to sing the High Masses and gave touch- ing sermons on Personal Holiness, The Life of Mother McAuley,', and The Corporal Works of Mercy. Grace Laur, '33, Service True to our school motto, a number of students have devoted considerable time to library work. Dolores Bodus and Anita Wolff have done artistic printing and poster work, which have been admired by all who have visited the library. Dorothy Pokrop and Elea- nor Waszek have typed catalog cards. When these cards are filed and ready for use next year, all reference workers in the library will be able to appreciate the magnitude and importance of this task. Thanks to all who have helped make our library more efiicient and attractive. lDon't You Know? English is important, Don't you know? You can't really live without it, Don't you know? You can try and you can try, But there'll always be some spy That will see your English errors, Don't you know?

In fact, many say that it is the one ac- tivity around which all others function. The chairmen all worked hard in put- ting across plans and suggestions which the Sodalists could make use of, and all the committee members worked hand in hand. The Sodality this year shows some improvement over the splendid work done in the pastg perhaps this is due to a different plan of organization. Accord- ing to the new schedule, at the begin- ning of each month there is a general Sodality meeting at which the work to be carried out during that month is dis- cussed, and during the course of the meetings are held in The assistant prefects Reports are given on month two unit each homeroom. preside at these. how the projects are working out, sug- Page Fifly-Iwo gestions offered to help the girls carry out the plans more successfully, and at the end of the month a questionnaire is given to find out just how much prog- ress has been made. We do appreciate our Sodality Com- munion Day! The Rev. J. C. Clark kindly gives up his time in order to say Mass for us on the third Monday of each month, and it is most inspiring to see all the Sodalists receive Holy Com- munion. We also look forward to Fath- er Clarl-:'s little talks. The last message which we want to convey to all the Sodnlists is: A We know you'vc worked as best you can To fulfill our every plang Indeed, we all agree that you Have been a source of consolation And a welcome inspiration. The officers say, Many thanks to you. Barbara Drexler, Prefect. XL 6112 gleam J- High School Sodlality Council In almost every Sodality project we un- dertook this year we were working with the Sodalists of the other Milwaukee high schools. This co-operation was the result of the formation of the High School So- dality Council. This council, consisting of two delegates from each school and as many others as wished to attend, met at the end of each month to make plans for the coming month. Mercy Sodalists en- A Christmas No one could think of anything better for a Christmas present than a spiritual bouquet of Masses and Holy Commun- ions, and that is why the Catholic youth of America chose this as their Christmas gift to the Pope. Mercy Sodalists shared in this gift. For three successive days, the fourth, fifth, and sixth of December, they thusiastically took part in these meetings and then came home with a determina- tion to put the projects across. Mercy Sodality was thoroughly organ- ized and in good working order before she entered the Sodality Union, but her pleas- ure in the work was augmented by the thought that thousands of young people in the city were interested in the same spiritual activities. Veramae Meneratti, Vice-Prefect. Gift to Rome sacrificed a little of their morning time to make their triduum of Masses and Com- munions in their parish churches. Cer- tainly they must have felt the joy of giv- ing and experienced a sense of satisfaction in having contributed to this mammoth spiritual bouquet. Lucille Tomczyk, '33. S. S. C.

Page Fifty-three X EEL e gleam ffl-4353 Our Instructors We have been given the special privi- lege this year of receiving weekly instruc- tions from three most zealous priests. Wie know they have made many sacrifices in order to come here each week, and we appreciate them greatly, for with beau- tiful simplicity and clearness they have made our religion more real to us. The Rev. Paul Tanner has worked hand in hand with the Freshman teachers in an endeavor to explain more thoroughly to our First year girls the fundamentals of their religion. Rev. Joseph Heim has had charge of the Junior Class. He has discussed the Sacraments and the Mass with these students. Rev. Franklyn Kennedy explained The Four Great Encyclicalsn to the Seniors, and made a detailed study of the Mass with the Sophomores. We also thank them most heartily for the splendid talks on the different states of life given by them during Vocation Week. They just hit the spot, and I'm sure they answered many critical ques- tions in the minds of the doubtful Mer- cyites. Let us thank you again, Fathers, and we hope you will be with us again next year. Genevieve Michalski, '32.

There is probably no place where co-operation is need- ed more than in our schools. Co-operation has been the keynote of our Parent-Teach- cr Association. Parents, teachers, and stu- dents have practiced co-operation in all their activities. The parents and teachers have co-operated in directing the school life of thc pupils. Parents have helped the teachers in solving many problems which have confronted them and aided the teachers in guiding the students along dif- ficult paths. The students also have done their part in co-operating with both par- ents and teachers. This can readily be seen by the enthusiastic spirit with which the girls entered not only into the social activities, but also into all the scholastic undertakings. Much of the success of the Associa- tion's activities this year was due to the excellent staff which was elected last May and went into otlice in September. These oiiicers are Mrs. Carter Rein, Presidentg Mrs. George Ircink, Vice-Presidentg Miss Loretta Muckerheidc, Secretary, and Mrs. August Zellmer, Treasurer. Mrs. Thomas Callan, Mrs. Henry Gevaart, and Mrs. joseph Starck were appointed for the ad- visory board. Mrs. Thomas Callan was chairman of the Program Committee, and it is she we must thank for all of our most interesting and novel programs at each of the monthly meetings. At the September meeting we planned the Senior Card Party which was to be held on October 21, 1931. Rev. Thomas Berry gave us a beautiful address on The Privilege of a Catholic Educationf' which was followed by a most appropriate pro- gram given by the Glee Club in com- memoration of Flag Day. The Dial Telephone demonstration, ex- plained by Mr. George French, Was the main feature of the November meeting. At the December meeting The Silver Swan, a one-act play, was presented by the girls of the Dramatic Art Club. Christmas solos and recitations were fol- lowed by a tableau, The Nativity, leav- ing the audience with a beautiful descrip- tion of the first Christmas and with the true Christmas spirit. At the January meeting Mrs. Henry Gramling gave a most interesting speech on the benefits derived by joining the P. T. A., and Mrs. A. Clemens completed the program with several selections on the zither. Washington's Bi-centennial was cele- brated at our February meeting by a stu- dents' program consisting of a playlec, A Dish of China Tea, dances, and talks on Washington. The bake sale held before and after this meeting was an astonishing success, netting about 5300.00. Know Thyself was the watchword of an inspiring address on vocational guidance given by Rev. B. Kobelinski at the March meeting. The annual parent-daughter party was the April feature. With cards, games, and dances, all found suitable pastime and op- portunities to get acquainted.

Page Fifty-five SASL as gleam efinf-11355 The Alumnae Association URING the past year the Mercy High School Alumnae has been un- usually busy. To determine the active members of our association a new plan was devised. The roster of the Alumnae was carefully perused, and the member- ship was limited to those who really wished to remain active and loyal mem- bers of the Alumnae Association. That famous saying of Sister Mary Dominica's still holds: It is quality, not quantity, that we want. On May 16 and 17, 1931, the Wiscon- sin Chapter of the International Federa- tion of Catholic Alumnae held its con- vention at St. Mary Academy. Our Alumnae Association was duly represent- ed, and the ofiicers treated to a dinner, at which His Highness, the Most Reverend Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch, D. D., was the chief speaker. And then our annual get-together- the Senior-Alumnae Banquet, held June 14, was another highlight of the year. A large number of the graduation class of 1931 was admitted, and again the Mercy Alumnae was re-enforced with new and willing Mercyites. The next big event was the Mercy ban- quet. Those of us who proudly call Mercy High School our Alma Mater were new wave of love and as we viewed the mag- thrilled with a loyalty for her, nificent pageant, and began to realize and appreciate what the Institute of the Sis- ters of Mercy means. As a round-up of the year's activities the Alumnae held its annual card party on February 5. It was a grand reunion. Class friendship that had existed in yester- years were eagerly and joyfully renewed that night-as Betty met Anne, whom she hadn't seen since Commencement, and Marie discovered that Isabelle was happily married and blessed with a wee bit of heaven. Yes, the card party was a suc- cess socially as well as Hnancially! The year is over, and the Alumnae looks forward to the coming one, eager and anxious to keep the Mercy banner gloriously aloft. Come on, Alumnae members where's that old school spirit, that co-operation? We need it! Loretta Fries, Recording Secretary. Sister Mary lfiidelis, R., S M.

The Magic Carpet HILE the Class of '31 was still a part of Mercy's student body, most of us wondered what would become of the girls after graduation. XVe all tried to do a little guessing, and will it not be just as interesting to see whether our surmises have been correct? The Magic Carpet is ready to give us a bird's-eye view of the class today. Are you ready? Here we go! After flying quite a distance with us, the Carpet has stopped on a broad, sweep- ing driveway before a large, new building. We find this place to be St. Patrick Acad- emy, Des Plaines, where Catherine Regan and Mildred Rampson have joined the Sisters of Mercy. They are quite con- vinced that theirs is the life and are per- fectly happy in their choice. But we can- not tarry long, as the Magic Carpet is im- patient to carry us away. So now we are off again, in the direction of Milwaukee, finally stopping at the Convent of Notre Dame. Who can be there? Wliy, it hardly seems credible, but it is Estelle Gorak, looking sweet and demure as ever, and as happy as Catherine and Mildred. Again we are off, across town to the State Teachers College. Coming out of the building are Catherine Bakehouse, Isa- belle Kern, Dorothea Meyers, Mary Ircink, and Alice Callan, quite an assembly of future school ma'ams! From there the Flying Carpet goes to Mount Mary Col- lege, where we Find Patricia Bellew rep- resenting the Class of '31. Hurrying back, we come to Marquette to ind Helen Stankowski and Sylvia Nowicki studying diligently. Taking us a short distance further, the Carpet stops at Spencerian Business College, where Coletta Link is taking a Private Secretarial Course in hope of some day being private secretary of the President. And now the Carpet is again on its way. Flying through Wis- consin, past Illinois, even over the Missis- sippi, stopping in a beautiful country, which we learn is Dubuque, Iowa, where Rosemary Kleczka attends Clarke College. The Magic Carpet, after a flying re- turn, is taking us to visit various institu- tions. First it leads to St. Mary's Hospital where Cecilia Burbach and Florence Schaefer are in training. Then we go on to Misericordia Hospital, Mildred Schmidt is our Class of '31 representative there. Then we speed on to the Milwau- kee County Hospital, where Mabel Loomis is learning to administer aid to the sick. The next immense building is the Home of the Good Shepherd. There we find Helen Muckerheide playing the part of the gym teacher we always expected her to be. Now we are flying over to others of the class who are helping with home duties. Here we see Lucille Fries, Florence Kobe- linski, Antoinette Luettgen, Ellen Mur- ray, Isabel Rice, Florence Rozga, Helen Rozga, Jane Shields, Dorothy Toebak, Gladys Zimny, Sylvia Zolinski, Sylvia Jendrejewski, Jane Karr, Sophia Zimna, Lottie Lewandowski, Emily Herda, Grace Glubka, Helen Ziarkowski, and Gladys Rein. Our class seems well represented in the business world, too, for on visiting the various business places we find many making good use of the shorthand, typ- ing, bookkeeping, and thoroughly sound training they received at Mercy. Among the eflicient business women are Margaret Delmore, Margaret Hassett, Josephine Kavage, Esther Kempka, Florence Lan- dowski, Lucille Leis, Marion Mehegan, Evelyn Karr, Dolores Pelkofer, Dolores Tobin, Anna Pochowski, Mildred Roark, Alice Zakowski, Angeline Stott, Julia Lauer, and Angeline Maziarczyk. Thus ends the history of the Class of '31 for the paSt year. May the future find them even more successful and hap- pier than now. Thank you, Magic Car- pet, for the splendid trip.
