I Juv 7-LX l .f T'1'1 , r K, W, . .. , ..,. 1 I ,swath Y .V A DIALOGUE BETWEEN ALGEBRA AND LATIN I Latin-Well, at last we shall have peace for awhile, as those noisy, care- less girls have left for the night. Algebra-Yes, our misery is over for awhile, but it will be renewed again tomorrow, and for many days to come. Latin-We should not think of the future, but only of the present. Algebra-That is true, but the way my mistress treats me and my ex- ponents. And, oh, the trouble she makes over my positive and more especially over my negative signs. Latin-Yes, and you should hear the way she pronounces some of my words. Why, really, it's a disgrace to my high dignity. This conversation continued until Science spoke up and said, Will you poor, disrespected, and abused people, as you think yourselves to be, ever go to sleep? With this order from Science, who was a larger book than either of them, they closed themselves up and drew the curtain for the night. MARY ENGEL., '30. FRESHIES' CALAMITY WEEK Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the great calamity .that happened this year. One night after school we started out, But Sister said NaI and turned us about. Into the study hall we went, And on each face a smile was bent. A dignifed Senior stood up to talk, But all the Freshies began to balk. She said afgreen ribbon we should wear ln the curls of our beautiful dark brown hair. Now, good sports, set out to win, We took our punishment with a grin. Seniors demand that to them we bow,' If we did not there would be a row. Well, I guess I'll end this tale so glum,' Only three years more and our turn will come. GERTRUDE FEARON, '30. If the ideas of youth have not an autumnal mellowness, at least, they have all the freshness and elasticity of spring. It is good and wholesome to talk with the young, not for what they may learn, but for what they impart. She knows not what she yet may do Who works, and to thigh aims keeps true. 1 x Seventy

A A FRE.SHMAN'S IMPRESSIONS OF REDEMPTORIST HIGH SCHOOL A Freshman is always afflicted, it seems to me, with a very exalted opinion of her capabilities, which no one but she has discovered in her estimable self: but one who is attending Redemptorist High School has various reasons, I think. why she should feel superior, for the training there seems to develop in one's talents hitherto almost unknown. Our school is one of the bestlequipped in the country fat least, so I am told by one who knows, and when the course of studies given there has been completed, one is eminently fitted to take one's place in the world. I shall never forget my first day there. Rather timid, and not having made the acquaintance of any of the pupils attending there, as small as I am fand my stature is scarcely four feetl I feltfl had lost even some of that small share of height when I mingled with the crowd. The tragedy of enrollment over, we were ready for earnest work: and when I saw the number and size of the volumes I must study, I felt it would mean real work, but I have since found out very pleasant work, too. I am interested in all the subjects which I take-some, of course, more than others. Science is very interesting, if one is diligent enough to keep one's notebook up to date. Algebra is not so absorbing when one is continually confessing positive ignorance of positive and negative signs. Latin? Augustus would be flattered if he knew how scrupulously I follow his favorite maxim, Festina lente. As for Religion-If we do not know how to go to confession when Father Kane, our instructor, finishes with us we are hopeless indeed. One red letter day of my Freshman year I shall not forget. The Seniors called a meeting bold, and all the Freshmen were obliged to wear green hair ribbons as a punishment for being so fresh. My sole comment is, that when we are Seniors we shall have our revenge. Another advantage is the uniform we are obliged to wear. It keeps one from being continually wearied, searching the wardrobe, and making decisions as to which color and style of dress to be worn: and saves precious hours that might be wasted admiring the frocks of companions. I shall summarize our blessings by voicing the sentiments of my companions and myself in the words of Patrick Henry- We know not which school others may choose, but for us-Redemptoristl MARY ELIZABETH MURPHY. . in , Seventy-one
