Through prayer, Play, Work, and Action, She will guide us, oh so safely . . . e ?o'zecast The library fireplace was freshly subsisted with a huge log. The fire was blazing brightly as I dropped into a lounging chair directly in front of the fire- place. The library seemed unusually mysterious this evening, with the flames casting imaginative figures on rows of books compiled in cases along the wall. As I rolled the log over, my eyes set a steady gaze on the books. So many different subjects, and each held a secret of its own. My eyes again turned to the fire. They stared until my eyelids assumed an undescribable weight. They closed, and I drifted into the land of visions. A medical book on the fourth shelf opened: the scene was a hospital. A little figure in snowy white uniform was gently comforting an aching body. There was something oddly familiar about this figure. Slowly she turned her face and immediately I recognized Felicia Ziolkowska. Her desire to become a nurse had taken its course. The medical book closed and from the business section another book began to unfold its pages. The scene depicted here was one of the departments of a large telephone company. Two figures at the far end of the room attracted my attention. They worked speedily with the greatest ease. Their movements be- trayed them. They were our loving Sophie Marie Beck and Helen Martowska. Rich personality enabled them to reach their goal successfully. The pages closed quickly. From the first shelf a Polish History book por- trayed another scene. This time the scene was a classroom. Before a class of attentive students stood a young woman patiently explaining Poland's struggle for independence. That sweet, soft voice could be no one else's than Martha Gll's. Her gentle ways have enabled her to fulfill her ambition. The pages turned slowly and the book closed. Then a hand reached for the magazine rack, and the scene portrayed a designing shop. The book opened again and displayed models of recent patterns and ideas of dressmaking. A tall, slim, soft haired, welldknown figure of Regina Raszymczyk, was deeply engrossed in studying the different pictures and models in designing. Suddenly, an idea flickered in her mind and immediately she arose and went on with her work, satisfactorily accomplishing her hard task. As silently as the book had opened lt began to close. Then, a book from the music section revealed its scene. In an exquisite auditorium, before a vast audience, seated at the piano was a young girl. Her fingers lightly touched the keys and melodlous strains poured forth. As she rose to the great applause, I found myself staring at Helen Rzaca. She has become Hoffman's rival. Slowly the book closed. From the last shelf a beautifully bound prayer book disclosed a more touching scene. In a chapel which I immediately recognized as the Mount Nazareth Academy, knelt three sweet faced nuns. Their lips moved in silent prayer. They were Ruth Pilarska, Rosalie Kotz, and Ann Rupczewska. Suddenly, the book C10S6d with B. thlld and my visions vanished. The flames died down to a mere spark. The books still remained in proper order, but, they had lost their mysterious look, for I have shared in their secrets. Regina Raszymczylc, '42 ,vs Q, U., 22' a A ' Wi Gui?
