gXl3Els at 'o ' DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART IS FOREMOST AT THE MOUNT Behold the heart that loved men so much l Such were the words of Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, at the time of his revelation to Saint Margaret Mary. Previous to this, devotion to the Sacred Heart had not been widespread. Now, however, convents and monasteries were set up to further this special devotion to Jesus, We, the fortunate students of this splendid Academy, are instructed by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, sterling educators, who have dedicated their lives to the spreading of this great devotion to Our Lord. Devotion to the Sacred Heart may be defined as Devotion to the adorable Heart of Jesus Christ in so far as this heart represents and recalls his love, God gives his heart to us as a symbol of his love. Our duty is to cherish and return this love. We, students of Mount Saint Charles, are well aware of the powers of the Sacred Heart. ln our lovely chapel the statue of the Sacred Heart tops the main altar, before which students constantly pray and burn vigil lights to obtain needed spiritual aid, Before every game athletes may be found in the chapel appealing to the Sacred Heart for protection and for victory, if agreeable to Him. The front wall of every room is adorned by a picture of the Sacred Heart and each student dedicates every work sheet to the Sacred Heart by the letters: A, C. J. which mean, The Sacred Heart Be Loved. With an environment such as this, it is no wonder that the Mount boys believe the Sacred Heart to be their staunchest advocate, And when they go forth to fight in the amphitheater of life they will constantly turn to the Sacred Heart for succor, banking their assurance on His words. MARTIN COGAVIN lO9 1940

Francis Hibner is now running for mayor, And all his opponents had better beware James Bolton has gone a long way. As we can readily see by the size of his pay. A great composer is Andrew Henry, His greatest is called The Long Lost Key . Gerald Charland is in the army now, You should see him smile when the corporals bow. Carl Betz has just written a book, He calls it The Flight of the Little Brook . Raymond Loughman is an engineer, And has massed a fortune, so we hear. A dentist has been Raymond Cote's choice, A patient never has to raise his voice. For the Cubs , Asbie Jolin plays third base, We see he has done well by the look on his face. Richard Lynch is a movie star, He rides around in a chautfeured car. Jack Santanna is an eminent cyclist, He daringly rides through rain or mist. Gerard Menard has a case in hand, He is the smartest lawyer in the land. Desrochers and Co. reads the sign, To be an Apothecarian has entered his mind. William Crepeau had attracted many eyes, With his latest picture Paradise . Francis Gardella is a fruit man, He'll sell his fruit to whomever he can. And Gus Cote our great reporter, Writes his news for the Woonsocket Quarter. Richard Rondeau now manages a team, And still in his eyes he has that gleam. y Who's this we see attending the mission, Why 'tis James Tobin the politician.
