GERTRUDE HAGEL, '29. FRIENDSHIP True and sincere friendship is one of the purest and noblest characteristics of the soul. It is the natural and perfect harmony which blends souls, guided by similar standards, striving after identical ideals. Friendship is nothing else than entire fellow-feeling with all things human and divine. We could ask for no better example of true friendship' than that given to us by our Lord on Mount Calvary, by the greatest of all -sacrifices, St. john says, Greater love than this no man hath, than that He lay down His life for His friend. It is in the hour of sorrow and distress that we come to know the real meaning of the word friend, for it is in this hour that our hearts turn to friend- ship, and we wish to be comforted by one whom we hold dear. In the hour of gladness our hearts also seek our friends to give utterance to them, of the joy which our hearts contain. It is thus in grief and pain that we turn to that one whom we call friend. Friendship should be preferred to all ohter possessions, for there is nothing else which will help to raise us up higher than the love of a true friend. Therefore we should all strive to make friends early in life, but they should be made with the greatest care, for a bad friend will often drag us down. A true friend is one in whom we have perfect confidence, one who advises and assists us readily, takes all patiently, and yet remains a friend. If we would have a friend we must also be a friend, for friendship is only to be purchased by friendship. A faithful and true friend is a great treasure which we should strive at all costs to keep, for after God there is nothing so sweet as a friend. MARTHA HOGAN, '29, ,-.n-1, . rn--.

This order was founded in Italy in 1732 by St. Alphonsus Ligouri. The order has an illustrious history and has been of great service to thelchurch. True to the ideals set before them by the saintly Alphonsus, our priests are essentially and by their specific vocation a missionary society imbued with the apostolic spirit to preach the gospel to the poor. to seek out and bring salva- tion to the most abandoned souls. The church needs such men to carry on its work, to inspire, to vivify. and to energize its soul and spirit. Houses of the Redemptorist Order are established in nearly every country of Europe, Africa and far off Australia as well as in North and South America. In june, l832. three Redemptorist Fathers and three brothers landed in New York. In a short time they were laboring heroically among the whites and Indians of northern Michigan and Ohio. Wherever the Fathers went their first concern was to establish a parochial school and to take special care of the growing youth. ln I878 Kansas City was selected as a suitable site for an educational institution. The Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was soon built and the Redemptorist parish permanently established here. Very Reverend Frederic Faivre, C. Ss. R., the superior: Rev. Fridolin Luette, C. Ss. R.: Brothers Andrew and James constituted the little community. So. through the many years that have passed since then, numbers of Fathers, too many to name, have labored zealously for the welfare of this parish. At present there are eight priests stationed here: FATHER GUNN, Superior FATHER CoNDoN FATHER POLK FATHER NEALON FATHER CARROLL FATHER ScoTT FATHER KANE FATHER KALVELAGE We are fortunate in having as our spiritual guides priests of exemplary culture, earnest and zealous workers, whose influence for good among the pupils has been deep and lasting. Our priests are our instructors in Ethics and Religion. They give not merely the instruction of the intellect, but stress especially the moral training of the heart. ' ' Their concern and care for us, their fatherly interest and guidance deserve our truest appreciation and heartfelt gratitude. MARY CATHERINE RYAN, '29. S-x P V s ,E s H Q51 Sixty-five
