Klargarefs here. He careful of that note! lt is a case, And softly and stealthily Ruth steals away. An air of mystery pervades the place. The appearance of this deep-voiced, dark- eyed Senior hrings with it the foreboding that something is going to happen. She speaks not a word hut casts dark glances toward the bulletin hoard. After the usual appliance of the compact and an uncertain pat to the perfectly groomed hair she approaches the dreaded hoard and reads: linglish-XYednesday-l'ostpone lissays and work on .Xu- nualfl .X sigh of relief-Ruth's worries in the line of studies are oyer. Now she may ex- pound upon the more serious suhject of neighborhood gossip. Frances and Kathryn wrote notes today. It's a new crush l'm sure. They look mighty suspicious to meg-- and on and on. .ludging from these uncanny conclusions and oft mis-mated comparisons should we not prophesy a weird future for this mysterious Senior? Sure enough, she has planned her future undertakings as f'undertaking. Ruth has already found out just what kind of license is required for an ambulance. This profession has a yery special drawing card- she expects from long association with the dead to learn how to effectively haunt, after she dies, those poor unfortunates who in playful mood now dare to cause one hair to stray from its native auhurn course. lflrohably hecause here she learns ahout Muinmies and ancient Hll11ClCl E3lil11f,I,ii Ruth is fond of History. XVhen Sister informed the class that soon they would begin the study of Social Life, Ruth declared that she just couldn't wait until they would hegin to study Night Life. History class leads to association of ideas-our Barnyard Chorus i11 which Miss Allison is initiated as our mule. Said mule's uncanny hray makes us wonder if Ruth has some secret desire to revenge an unlucky memher of her history class or if she is attempting to frighten people to death for future ffundertaking profits. All during our high school years we wonder just what it is that Ruth has so deeply hidden from us. VVhat does this husy Ruth do? She is always busy hut certainly not with school work or anything so trivial. YVe must anxiously await the future to unfold these hidden mysteries. Sixtvrn JL 'N Q f 4 FN A .'

X'X'ith these instruc- tions Helen's mother left the shy lxalmy of the liruseke family to work out her education at S. H. A. 'l'his first venture forth from parental care was a hit tragicg Helen missed her mother's apron strings sadly. Indeed. so timid was she that when the first hell rang for ranks she found herself without a partner. All this, ot course, happened four long years ago. Helen still doesn't make much noise, hut now the partners are engaged for months ahead ot time. An ounce of prevention saves Miss Bruseke many an embarrassment. XYith three clean handker- ehiets in one corner of her desk a11d an aspirin carefully concealed in another, Helen is prepared for a day at school. Never would she feel quite safe without this Hrst-aid kit. One simply can't he eertain ahout headaches and faints, you see. But Helen doesn't use all her wise foresight just for her 'lownseltf' To save them from trouhle's deadly clutches, Helen admonishes the mischieffdoers with untiring energy, Since the juniors are the olijects of her special attention, we expect next year's Seniors to he quite perfect-like us. Prompt and precise in everything from giggling to paying her class dues, she might easily pose as Class '27's most practical memlmer, ln tact, we'd have to say all nice things about Helen were it not for two noisy failings: a mania for typing and a fond- ness for loud hosiery. The click, click of the typewriter must hold charms for Helen or else how could she produce so many perfect copies? The other failing creates every hit as much envy. One Monday she came to school wearing a pair that took her all Faturday to purchase. Vile have heard that Helen grieves not a little over leaving S. H. A. VVe wonder just what her lot is to he.

A. in September, 1927. Miss Doyle hails from Franklin via Routt. Springtielcl folks inust seein strange, cause, oh! she knows the kids clown there! True, Bernice is a blond: but she has bravely lived clown the reputation given to baby-blue eyes and fair tressesg she is a regular outdoor girl. XYC expect to hncl her naine on the S. H. A. racing recorcl, so clo not try for first place there until you have answered Bernice's challenge, XYanna run? Our baby Senior just aclores gyin and elocutionfl XVhat a terrible inortifica- tion it must be for her to sit languitlly in her rooin while the other girls enjoy these classes! But then Bernice always was obliging. ln Basket Ball she holrls the ball when you hancl it to her. 'l'hen. too, Bernice lets Mary .lo keep her clothes in her room because, as Bernice explains it, Mary ,lo and l are the same size. Like a brook after an April shower, Bernice's carefully hidden teinper overflows and every one around is surprised to see our calm Bernice in such a torrent of rage. Hlfustiev was almost drowned one night when she attenlptecl to niake fun of Bernice's volley ball playing. HG-O-S-ll! 'l'hat's just Bernice's way of letting one know she is boreclg and coyly, Aw you quit lets one know she is getting a conipliinent. Bernice enjoys claneing innnensely. lfroni all insifle inforniation, it is her favorite pastiine. But Bernice fears that she will have to give up her clancing ancl beconie a 'fat lacly' in a circus if she mloes not quit gaining. Oi course, Bernice is going on a diet soine tiine, but then-how can a girl rliet when all the other 'kicls' are eating cake? If she floes not become too rorpulent to continue, class '27 preclicts a hapy dancing future for Miss Bernice.

Seven - L' years and two days ago she came to lv R S. H. A. The two davs in advance made her greet us newcomers with the lordly and patronizing old-girl air, which she was so successful in wielding that she made us feel green for many a day. Now her responsibility heing greater, she is more serious about the performance of her duties. She even performs them herself in case of default of all of her friends. XYhen passing the lloolin-Fox almode, one hears, 1 won't sweep the room! I swept it last week! You did not! Oh, he still! Frances emerges with extremely red cheeks and creates quite a scene, throwing anything' handy and elucirlating the scene with t'Uh, that makes me furious. l think that's vile. Frances receives company in her third Hoor domicile: that is, when she is not asleep or visiting her friends in the second dormitory. Once, however, even she was not received: for when she returned from a nocturnal visit, the door was locked, forcing Frances to rent a hed in the Freshie Dorm. This year Frances decided to reduce. Reduction set in so viciously that she de- veloped symptoms of a dread disease which required a tonic to he taken in a half glass Of water every three hours. So exact was she in the performance of this unpleasant task that lest she he distracted and forget, she secluded herself in the infirmary with a NG YlSl'l'CJRS sign and gave herself up to the contemplation and swallowing of the hitter dose. 'l'hen all the powers that he decided were she to eat three normal meals 21 day, the tonic might produce results more quickly. Yet Frances manages to reduce. After we have eliminated hard study as a possihle cause of her thinness, we have left only cleaning' the room or skating' or lmasket hall or her tender solicitude for helpless Sopho- mores and Freslunen or her purty alty rendition of the Bells of Saint Mary's.', NVH' a1'e of the opinion that the last named exercise would reduce even a stronger woman than Frances. Thus we have presented Frances of the past. Frances of the future will not in the least resemble this picture. All inclinations and characteristics are to he changed. A complete reform is to set in. Hereafter only those talents and tendencies that make for successful surgeoning or nursing will exist and he encouraged to grow. Always just as she should lac, Frances is going to be serious aluout her life's work.

They say this drawl of .fXnna's is a hahit formed in her second year or thereahouts, they are not sure thoughfno one ever is certain of anything ahout Ann. She remains rather a mystery. She seems to have let us think we know her without actually doing so. Her calm, non-committal exterior keeps our curiosity whetted. wondering what is within. fXnn's younger relations have given us some startling information. VVe think they must he mistaken ahout gXnn's treatment of a certain cat named XYalter. Can we he- lieve that she got terrihly excited when no one member of the family appeared to eat a favorite salad she had concocted? Does it sound possihle that Ann's permanent dim- ples might disappear? VVell, we heard they did twicefonce when someone called her Annie and another time when she had the photographer touch them out of a picture. There are times when she doesn't seem to he our Ann at all. Then she sits and dreams. This hewildered us until we found out that upon such occasions a topless Ford comes and carries .Xnna off to that wonderful land of the fairies. The tin can is parked outside the gates for nothing mundane can enter Fairyland. She takes in only XYalt. The fairies haven't. as yet, taken class '27 into their confidence, and Ann herself stuhhornly refuses to tell us of the enchanted vales. ' All things alxout A-Xnna seem to nt in with the drawl.

It is useless to say anything to or about Annette because she is determined to get revenge, and usually the offender suffers the worst end of the deal.

If she does not succeed in that. she tries punching and pinching until she has her victim almost annihilated.

But our motley mob was not favorably welcomed by the upper classmen, who deemed it their duty to inform us that Quantity was not Quality. Since it was up to us to prove the more the mightierf' we formed our- selves into battle array against the other classes. Frances lfox, being of imperial size and war-like disposition, was chosen Commander-in-Chief. lilizabeth Ettel- briek, we made our treasurer. In a mood of mildness we selected the sweet pea as our coat of arms, lavendar and gold, our banner and Semper l idelis, our battle cry. Then, the Sophies gave a play. To their great delight, the Freshie VVarriors paid them a visit and ruined the show. After this event the mild and peace loving Sophomores graced our classroom door with a scented May basket on St. l'atrick's Day. VVe immediately called a war delegation and corrected a misspelled word on their note of congratulation. VVith Easter came Retreat: we didn't like the idea, but since it was the custom, we Retreated. too. In spite of our former worries, we found the Retreat to be most beneficial. A whirlwind of social events next attracted our attention. So delighted were we to go to the A. I.. S. Banquet, that we laid aside our armour and donned our party dresses. I.ittle did we realize then the significance and solemuity this occasion holds for Seniors. 'XVe had had little opportunity to display our dramatic ability until Sister Francesca directed the St. Thomas Aquinas Pageant. After weeks of patient train- ing, we acted our parts as monks and angels to perfection. The upper classmen declared that the Freshmen showed marked talent in the orchestra recital. Gradua- tio11 brought us visions of the Seniors of '27 bedecked in caps and gowns at some far distant day. The closing event of the school year was the Alumnae Banquet. In the excite- ment of serving we forgot all about war and acted quite civilized, they said. The battles of the year were over. The great home going day was June lo. Sophomore Year. Our summer furlough over, we hesitated a moment before attacking our studies to make an inventory of the Sophomore army of '2-1. Seven of our warriors had succumbedg we were left a gallant thirty-three. Elizabeth Ettelbrick and Kathryn Rachford assumed the leadership while shell pink and silver floated over and we cheered UPlus Ultraf' Immediately we planned a wiener roast in the grove. Cnr fears were aroused when in the west a fiery cross appeared and with it the shadowy forms of hooded figures. The rest of the evening, however, passed quietly enough and we returned home unharmed. Another interruption in our Sophomore year of training was the Hallowe'en party. Our 'tballet dancer and negro mammy received prizes for the most artistic and most outlandish costumes. Luckily we survived the exams, and were restored to health and happiness again by an invitation to the Valentine Party. 0ur star numbers were Frances Fox ren- dering Me and My Boy Friend and Mary Clough the HSpring Fantasticfl Recitals were next in order. Clara Graham won the gold medal and Annette NViesenmeyer the silver cross for bravery at the piano.

NVhen preparations for A. L. S. began the spirit of battles of '23 rushed back into our veins. Every life was endangered as we charged to and fro decorating the refectory. There were the usual joys and sorrows of graduation. Then our Sopho- more year was gone. Junior Year. Back again at S. H. A.

At the Hallowt-'en party our leading Class Officers carried away the first prize as Ma, l'a and the Kid. The one and only sorrow of our junior year occurred when Julius Lfaesar passed away. Our beloved julius was given all the burial rites, and a touching sermon was delivered by Minister Conlin. interment was made in the tirove cemetery. Christmas vacation brought with it Christmas joys, and not until semester exams were upon us did we fervently wish to share Julius kfaesar's lot in Grove cemetery.

Wie stopped cheering just long enough to elect Bernice Doolin and Frances Fox to hll the offices left vacant by the Seniors of '26 Before we realized it, we were going home again. to return next year as dignified Seniors. Senior Year. August thirty-first was not too early to assume our new dignity: so we began to be Seniors at once. Officers of rank were chosen immediately: Margaret Monaghan was to wield her authority, assisted by Naomi Gorey, Ruth Allison and Clara Graham. Strange forces reminded us that the initiation party was our first responsibility. After much profound thought on our part, pillow cases and ice cream and cake made the dreaded evening 1nost enjoyable for the newcomers. After an interval of studies, the grinning pumpkin heads of Hallowe'en greeted us, lilisgpiised all the way from colored mammies to Pierrettes, we danced the merry evening away. An 'fAthletic Yaudevilleu gave us a gay send oti' for our Thanksgiving Vacation. XYe went home thankful-thankful for everything. After vacation trouble began to brew. VVe scoured our old armour all over again. Fortunately for the Juniors, open hostilities were prevented by the Freshman drive for the Propagation of the Faith. So nobly did we contribute to the drive that we were entertained during a recitation period by Father Sloan. The approach of Christmas vacation meant Santa Claus and a party. The Faculty always makes our Christmas party the ffbest fun of the year. Needless to say, Santa was splendid to us all. Christmas holidays and our final finals over, wc welcomed a Valentine Party. This year we had a Valentine postofilice, and during the evening we were kept busy as postmen. It was now time for the S. H. A. girls to clothe themselves in Lenten black, and frivolities were forgotten until after Retreat. And such a Retreatfeven the Seniors were transformed into remote, angelic beings. Fearing that so much solemnity might prove inju1'ious to laughter, the Seniors staged f'Tl1e Laughing Furef' To our great relief, everyone laughed. In a f'Spring Frolic the lower classmen came to the relief of the Annual Fund. Vvithin the next few weeks, the Freshies gave a danee and the Commercial girls, a sale for the same worthy cause. Vie appreciate their kindness. The longed for Class Day came at last. YVe boarded the newest parlor bus obtainable for a trip to Starved Rock. Torrents of rain failed to dampen our fun and enthusiasm. Our cup of joy was filled to the brim at A. l.. S. banquet. Commencement, the grand Finale of our school davs, is at hand. Tramp. tramp. trampf Right about face-A last look at dear old S. H. A. XVhat a host of happy memories cling around our Alma Mater.

Miss l.utyens is business manager for her father, and the two stenographers are Loretta Otto and Frances Midden. The three teachers beside them you will recognize as Miss Margaret Monaghan.

The door of a little box opened and out jumped all the juniors, No, it wasn't a little box, either. I just said that. 'Twas a great big box. They hopped out one by one and made their way to a little store on the corner. Now aren't you curious to know what they were doing? Wrell, if you'd stop Zlllfl think, you'd decide for yourself. The Class. realizing that its appetite was and always would be its most distinguishing characteristic. had decided to do light housekeeping en masse and run a grocery store that they might easily cultivate their talent and not just bury it. The sign hoard on the store read 'Tonlin Cuzensf' they having consumed the mcst pie in the shortest time to prove their skill and superiority. The shop was quite artistic with its triple Hellenic pillars holding up the porch roof. XVhen I went in to look around, just as one does at a grocery store, my heart gave a bound, You know how Glad ys one to see flowers in the spring. The very hrst thing to be seen was a huge bunch of Sweet XYilliams, and I de Clare right out in the middle of the store wasn't there a great YVinter batter of rosesga real Rush u know.

I glanced around and noticed that the place was abundantly decorated in lick ru and Blue. Vw id and overwhelming. I felt as if I were in a Mil dred fully near being crushed by the color scheme. I was about to absent myself unceremoniously when something reminded me that the junior taste always did run along the eat not the f'see line. Something in the very atmosphere made me feel hungry. I had Lu cile up some goodies for me. XVheu I asked for Ham, Breaker off a piece. said someone. She looks hungry. yelled a chorus of A-nin a bout, I think. Next I called for bread. Rie ly is on the list of best sellers. they said, so I took a loaf of that. I also got a bottle of Dressen. liorferu brand, I believe it was, a box of f'llobinson's animal crackers. a bag of fresh 'fI7rey ed potato chips, some I7ogar ty , and asparagus f'Tip s-A'tons of them because they look so good.

But the pitiful appeal was to those old iee Bt-rgs neither here nor there. for the other Grocer Conlin who isn't the l'a jime d in and said, That's nothing. The juniors are always hungry. I could expect no compassion here, so I came away and left them to light house keep in their little-no, big box. Forty-Eight -E J fi C.. rv hoc! I Fifty L I 'W .J L, Ld Z A V ..

VVhen Clara Scherf starts to recite, we feel there's trouble brewing. Esther lloerfler takes her time, and stops at every name, Repeats her words a dozen times, but gets there just the same. Josephine gets out of breath, and Sister with a frown, XVaits till she has said three words, and sternly says, Sit down. M.

Wfhen Loretta is on the Floor she talks to beat the band, Mary Gootee giggles and behind her waves her hand. Cornelia grabs her pencil up and holds on for dear life, Her face gets red as though she were engaged in deadly strife. Grace of course says funny things-the things that make us laugh. Her efforts are the subject of much good natured chaff. I guess that I look nervous, at least I think I must, I don't talk up so very loud, and I get most awful fussed, Some things we say are funny, and some things we say are true, And We are happy youngsters, when we happen to get through.

' Sixty-Fifvp il OKALUXWWEQ CONGRATULATIONS just a line to congratulate the Seniors of 1927 on this splendid edition of Uominicus. It is artistic and well balanced and very interesting. and compares favorably with any high school annual-none excepted. VVC are glad of the opportunity of having a printed record of Alumnae activities, and appreciate the space alloted to us by the editors. XYe congratulate you, and we thank you. COMMENCEMENT Un June fifteenth, 1926, the annual Alumnae meeting and banquet were held. A goodly crowd of Hold girls was present, places being set for one lnmdred and twenty-five, including our newly acquired members-the class of 1926. A very enjoyable banquet was served. 1Ve are most grateful to the :Xcademy Orchestra which played during the ban- quet, and wlueh so cheerfully responds to every Alumnae request for its services. To the servers. too, we wish to express our gratitude. Serving a banquet for one hundred and twenty-live people, and doing it promptly and well, with no fuss or commotion, is an art which truly deserves heartfelt commendation. After the banquet a program of toasts and musical numbers, with our president, Marie Hallahan, presiding as toast-mistress, was thoroughly enjoyed by all. As a climax to the banouet, all arose and joined in singing the Alumnae song, Our S. ll. A, and The Star Spangled Banner, to the able accompaniment of the orchestra. 1Ve were then marshalled into the assembly room, where we elected the follow- ing officers: President ,,,,, ,........ ...Grace Stewart Sheehan, '11 Vice-l'residents ,,,,, . ...... .Mary Howard, Jennie Otto, '19 Secretary '...... ,,..,,, ........, C a rmen Skchan, '23 Treasurer ............,... ....,.........,,..,,.,,..,...,.,.,,.,......... ll largaret Gaffigan, '18 After congratulating our new officers and promising them our hearty co-opera- tion, and expressing gratitude and appreciation to the retiring officers, we followed our leaders to the auditorium, where the retiring officers had prepared a surprise program which proved to be quite delightful. Then came the crowning joy of Commencement-at least for the Alumnae- that last informal hour when girls sit about in groups, the groups changing and inter-mingling from time to time, and the old and new times are discussed, each individual thinking her particular era the best of all. 'ADO you remember the time was an expression heard frequently, coming hrst from one group, then an- other, usually accompanied by gales of laughter.

Slxty .Six .nyc ,N A We Alumnae Scholarship The Alumnae Scholarship for 1926 was awarded to Agiies Grady, a pupil of St. Agnes School. The Alumnae Association is now providing tuition for three students at S. H. A. It is the plan of the Alumnae to maintain four students each year, one in each class. The scholarship is awarded to the winner of a competitive examination given each June, and is open to the eighth grade girls of the Academy and the four schools in Springfield which are taught by Dominican Sisters. Sale ln December the Alumnae embarked on a new venture: we conducted a Ruinmage Sale, The funds in our treasury were slipping lower than our president thought they should be, and so she began to look about for a simple method ot adding a few dollars. Several members agreed to assist her with a sale, and the thing was worked up in just a few days. For two hours during the morning sale. business was very brisk indeed. and lett the tour salesladles in an exhausted state-but not too exhausted to compare notes, exchange stories, and laugh at the many funny things that had happened. Those same four ladies learned several lessons about S2llC5lll2lllSllllJQ and what is more to the point, dropped a tidy little sum into the treasury. New Year Reception The New Year reception. when Dominican Sisters are f'At Home to the Alumnae and friends of S. ll. A., was a lovely party. There were approximately a hundred callers during the afternoon. most of them remaining for some time to visit with the Sisters and other friends, Several alumnae from out of town were present, as were also a number of Sisters, former S. H. A. girls, who were home from their missions. The reception room was prettily decorated with ent flowers. lces and small cakes were served by S. H. A. students. VVe thank the Sisters for their hospitality. and we trust that they derive as much pleasure and enjoyment from the New Year reception as do their callers. Card Party just before the Lenten season opened. our officers sponsored a card party in the auditorium of S. H. A. lt was a successful affair and was much enjoyed by those present. There was a prize for each table. a dainty georgette handkerchief. Several ieople who were not fortunate enough to win one, purchased one or more after the party was over. The party. like the sale, added a nice little sum to the treasury. Garden Party People driving on VVest XVashington or Monroe Street. or on l,inc0ln Avenue on a certain evening in the latter part of July. beheld a scene that resembled a glimpse of Fairyland. It was the Academy campus, ablaze with multi-colored lights, and crowded with a happy. cheery throng of S. H. A. students, Alumnae and friends. The event was the Animal Alumnae Garden Party. Sixty .Sevfll X at . Due to the efforts of a group of ten girls, the party was a success socially and financially. Any sueh affair means much effort and hard work for a few, but if the few are given encouragement and co-operation by the many, it is much easier for them, and they are repaid for their efforts. The Register Carrier Boys' Orchestra contributed their services during the eve- ning, and their music gave much pleasure. XVe hope our 1927 garden party will be as happy and successful as that of 1926. Helen Wittman Einig A sad event happened October, 1926. Helen VVittman Einig, member of the class of 1918, passed away, leaving a tiny baby daughter. Helen was one of Alma Mater's loyal children. ever ready to assist with any enterprise undertaken for the benefit of S. H. A. The Alumnae Association has lost a valuable member: S. H. A. has lost a friend. To Helen's husband and daughter, to her father, brother and sister-our Celeste-the Alumnae extend deep sympathy. THE SPIRIT OF S. H. A. Hark! ye of dormant loyalty. Awake! and help us to make a reality the dream of an inflrmary where those friends and teachers of long ago may spend in the company and care of their own sisters, and in the peace and quiet of religious atmosphere the twilight of their religious life, the heyday of which they have devoted to the loving, kindly care we all so well remember. Our promised 355,000 will indeed be but the proverbial drop in the bucketf' albeit a single tear, a happv tear welling up in the midst of those memories which ever present themselves with the jovful greetings and gladsome welcome of each recurring commmencement. Memories, not of the times that Sister So and So sent us to bed early because we stole green apples from the orchard, but rather of the lfzindly care bestowed upon us as we suffered from the allatoo-certain results of such youthful pranks, of her untiring, careful guidance through the humdrum ups and downs of everyday school life, and finally of her never failing interest in our failures and successes long after we have left our Alma Mater's sheltering care. Many are the demands upon us in these days of build and rebuild. Many are the causes which appeal to us with outstretched hands. crying to us even for the last farthing. But what, to us, could be more appealing than this? How often have we lamented that we are powerless to repay those saintly guardians of our youth? Ah! now that we have the opportunity to help-in a measure to make happy those waning years, vears when we gather father and mother into our homes there to brighten and make glad their autumn time with the youthful joy and happiness of our own little ones-let us not be found wanting, As we go to press amid the cheers and shouts of praise which are being show- ered upon the unconquerable Lindbergh, who with his 'fSpirit of St. Louis has accomplished the impossible, an inner voice whispers to us that we, with our USpirit of the S. H. A. may well nigh attain our impossible, our flight, our goal which is- not the praise and triumph of the nations, not the acme of personal ambition, but merely material replica of our heartful gratitude, the wherewithal to convert that ioyful tear into the pearl of great price. Awake, then! Arise! Ye are not dead but sleeping. Sixty Eight ovmcwfln, gi Pb-X EE: JV LIC! wiilffw -.L ni?

T Suas, INITIATION P,ARTY One lone light trying to drive out oceans of darkness, eerie shadows slinking in corners and behind things, ghostly figures that seemed to be hall there and halt not there, clanking of chains that were not there at all, uncanny groans of souls in dire agony-such was the setting for the initiation of the Freshmen and new girls, Margaret Monaghan, grand dragon of ceremonies, surrounded by couriers, judges and pages, meted out to each newcomer her sentence. And the empty, un- certain feeliug while awaiting that sentence! In order to be allowed to join the privileged ranks of the initiated, some were commanded to kiss the Book of Mysteries three times. Two successful attempts made the aspirants over-confident, so the wise old dragon punished them and made the last kiss a Houry bath. Expectation is greater than realization, we are told. The newly initiated are not sure about the greatness of it, but they do know expectation is sweeter. If you were at one end ot a piece of string and something else was at the other, would you not naturally expect that the something was a piece of candy or at least an apple? VVell, you would have been fooled just as they were. They found pieces ot keep that school girl complexion soap at the end of their strings. But the whole evening was not spent in torturing victims. Because of their fiery courage and unbroken spirits, we ted them well on cake and cream and let them dance the evening through. MRS. HASKELL Vtle were glad to herald the arrival of Columbus day, October twelfth, not only because our great country was discovered on that day, but because we were to hear M rs. Haskell again. In the afternoon recital, 'tDr, Luke of the l.abradorl' proved the feature number. ln the evening, Wfhe Bear Story gave us a hearty laugh. This was Mrs. Haskell's eighth visit to S. H. A., and each year we anticipate her coming with more pleasure. Sefventy-Tfwo -.1 e JN' 4? ' Q will fu HALLOWE'EN PARTY Black witches and white ghosts, all widths and lengths, graced the posters which were spread far and wide in the corridors, telling that the Seniors would stage the Annual Halloween party, XVednesday evening, October twenty-seventh. VVith this gala eve11t came the blackest of nights, Ghosts and Demons of the wierdest sort, and unique creatures costumed in orange and black lurked in every corner. A few lighted pumpkin heads, the only illumination, deepened the atmosphere. VVhen it was at last time for the opening of the celebration, a bell called all towards the auditorium. At the door, the ghostliest of ghosts acted in the capacity of reception committee. A ghost story. told in a quivering voice, served to intensify the spectral spirit. Finally. the long-waited-for grand march arrived. Naomi Gorey and Catherine XYhite, garbed as Mr. and Mrs. Pioneer of '76, carried away the prize for the best masked couple. The prize for the funniest togs in the assemblage was justly awarded to liernadine Gorey and Helen Fogarty, dressed as all old couple, with the funniest of faces and clothes of extreme bagginess, a sight to behold. Though somewhat weary-eyed after such a night of gayety, everybody was able to see- tnhe sandwiehes,Icandy,4and delicious cider and to make way with them with a rapidity that spoke tor itself. MISS ELSIE ALEXANDER Miss Elsie Alexander, an English pianist of unusual ability, appeared in a recital Monday, lleceniber sixth. Miss Alexander is to be classified not only as a romantic interpreter of the piano literature, but also as a brilliant, forceful player. She has a niasterly command of the instrument, combined with simplicity and elegance of style, She is one of the most individualistic pianists of the generation. Chopiifs Etucle,'l of a war-like dashing type, was worthy of the hearty applause accorded by the audience. XYe felt extremely honored in being Bliss .-Xlexander's audience, and sincerely l.ope she will return. Sefvfnty- Thru' 1.1.11- D ' A A ' WI? CHRISTMAS PARTY Un December twenty-second, there were mysterious goings-on in Refectory and Kitchen. Doors were closed and locked and orders given to keep out. A sign on the bulletin board announced dinner at six. All the Senior day pupils were invited to dine with the boarders of S. H. A. Punctually at six o'clock, everyone in Sunday best assembled in the main corridor. Ranks were formed and the Grand March began. The Refectory doors xx ere thrown wide, and lo! whatlglory met our gaze. Tables, set for four, each bearing a single lighted Christmas taper, were placed in a semicircle about the dining room. The soft glow of the candles and the lights in the center and the crib to the left were the illumination. A most delicious three-course dinner was served by the Faculty. Poinsettias were given as favors. At the close of the dinner, jingle bells were heard, and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, Pernice Doolin Zillfl Naomi Gorey, made their appearance. Santa called the father and mother of the Freshies, Elizabeth Ettelbrick and Alvenia Devlin, to render an account of the behavior of their charges. Santa decided they were unworthy of gifts. Mary Phillips, posing as the guardian of the Sophomores, gave her account. lt, too, was very unfavorable. A terrible rumpusl And then a little girl, Bernice Doyle, came crying pitifully, I wanna see Santa, and they won't let me. She told Santa all about the naughty juniors. He woefully shook his head again, Seems like no presents here. Then Ruth Allison appeared on the scene to render an account of the illustrious Seniors. At the close of the enumeration of their virtues, Santa proclaimed that the abundant merits of the Seniors made up the deficit of the other classes, and gave everybody gifts. The Freshies received Bi-Lo Babies tied with green ribbons, the Sophs, bull dogs, the juniors, mechanical toys, the Seniors, little traveling bags and purses, a sad reminder of their departure at Commencement. Ruth Feely's reading, 'tThe First Christmas Night,' was beautiful and ably done. Next a humorous reading, 'Twas the Night After Christmas, by Mary Dineen, gave us all a laugh. Nothing puts one into the spirit of things like singing, and I'm sure everybody knew we had caught the Christmas spirit when they heard us all sing Adeste Fidelisu and USilent Night. When we had sung That's VVhy VVe Thank You to the melody of That's Why I Love You, we repaired to the recreation room, where we danced to our hearts' content. VVe retired, jubilant and happy, and radiating with the holiday spirit. MR. WILLIAM DONOVAN Un XVednesday, February twe11ty-third, we had the pleasure of hearing Mr. 'XVilliam Donovan, noted pianist. In a most interesting program., ranging from Coupcrin and Bach to Debussy and Dohnanyi, Mr. Donovan brought out his marked musical ability and a scholarly understanding of the numbers he rendered. Impromptu lf Sharp Major brought forth a wealth of applause. RECITAL Miss Clara Graham. one of our Seniors, appeared in a recital Thursday after- noon, March third. Clara possesses an astonishing technique, finished style and an individuality and charm all her own, which have won her decided recognition in the c1ty's musical center. The Bird Song and l'he Japanese Etude were exceptionally applauded. Sefventy-Four f s l I , . fx' I -X ' fix A 'Q 5 f 4 -f L1 i f Ye. ., T Wi? VALENTINE PARTY Scurrying footsteps here and there! Muftled giggles and knowing nods! The Seniors were up to something again. At noon two of them appeared, armed with boxes, liainmers, nails and thumb-tacks. Three more followed with gay red and white paper. By assembly time, the corridor was graced by an inviting little booth tx here everyone had the privilege of buying a ticket to the Valentine l'arty. By seven-thirty Monday evening, S. H. A. was an enchanted vale. Unseen fairies must have been peeping around corners taking notes so that they might go home and make the real fairyland more attractive. After the Grand March, Annette Pritchett was chosen Queen of Hearts, led to the throne and crowned. Then the postman appeared, loaded down with parcels-large ones. small ones, stuffed ones, Hat ones. Everybody received a generous assortment. When the music began again, a strange new visitor entered. Vvlio could it be? The Black Knight of Ivanhoe come to life again, or the Red Death garbed in a somber robe? But no! It stirs, it starts, it moves, it speaks. XVould you care to dance? Miss Miller's voice crumbles our castles and dispels the mystery. The favor dance, a balloon frolic, was perhaps the prettiest feature of the eve- ning, but even the refreshments, heart-bedecked ice' cream and dainty little cakes, were a feast for the eye, The Home, Sweet Home waltz pricked our enchanted bubble much too soon. THE LAUGHING CURE On St. Patrickls Day, the Seniors restored everybody to permanent health with The Laughing Cure. Dr. St. George Carey, a physician of the modern school, cures Mrs. Laura Hanson, the invalid wife of Clarke Hanson, of a disease of blues by teaching her how to laugh. Her younger brother, who thoroughly understands her case, helps to see that she gets her dose- One laugh every thirty minutes. Mrs. Perry, Hof the Auntie lioleful School. puts the family and audience into an uproar when she predicts Mrs. Hanson's early death. Until the very last she thinks that the family has gone crazy. Doctor Carey finally persuades her that Life is a joke. Norah, the maid, who thoroughly enjoys the whole affair, and the blarney Jimmie, add to the pep of the play. Jimmie at last wins Kitty, his long-hoped for, and Doctor Carey persuades Gay that he can make her happy. Doctor Vtfhiteomb invites Mrs.,Perry to the Hlight fantastic and the family laughs ever after. The play, given for the benefit of lJominicus, was ntost enjoyable, each char- acter out-doing the previous one in portrayal and spirit.

RICHARD CZERWONKY On February tenth, we had a rare musical treat in the program given by Mr. Richard Czerwonky, violinist of world-wide renown. Mr. Czerwonky is one of the foremost living violinists, one who can bear comparison with any of the celebrities of the day. Mr. Czerwonky's explanations of his numbers were very simple, being that of classroom style. He gave the Handel A Major Sonata and the Mendelssohn E Minor, the same conscientious readings as would be heard in Carnegie Hall, packed to the very doors, with the musical elite of the metropolis. ln other words one minute Mr. Czerwonky was a students' lecturer, the next minute4presto-a concert violinist giving his all. A Czerwonky composition, Air de Ballet. a light dance tune with an indelible melody and a happy surprise at the end, proved to be the feature of the evening. He was called to repeat the air as an encore. Romance, Memories, Humor- esquef' a waltz and a minuet were the other selections from his own pen. Miss Ellen Munson furnished exactly the accompaniment worthy of a Lfzera wouky. In all, the recital was one that will linger in our memory for many a day.

A petty grievance cherished by Mrs. Louisa Hollingsworth and Mrs. Mattie Pettis since early school girl days is brought to light in a very amusing fashion. VVe enjoyed every bit of the show and discovered that the Commercial girls are proficient in more than shorthand and typewriting. Sfwnty-Six ft., l SPRING FROLIC A talented group chosen from the Freshmen and Sophomores presented a Spring Frolic for the benefit of Dominicus, on May third, 1927. Dances of varied types constituted the program. The introductory one was a fancy solo dance in which sparkling rhinestone heels and a pretty ostrich fan were displayed with exceptional gracefulness. Next came tambourines and a unique Spanish dance. The balloon dance, the jig, and the weaving dance were also displayed with great grace. Last, and least in height but not in dancing skill, were three little girls dressed in pink, orchid and yellow, who blithefully skipped their nay into the hearts of the audience. by means of a Hower dance. An impromptu vocal number, Spring Has Come, and the recitation of Joyce Kilmer's Trees, called forth hearty applause. VVe hope the little girl who sang 'Tm Lostedu will get lost again sometime soon. and tell us all about it. The lfreshies and Sophs are good friends, for they told us so in their final number. The Frolic was a huge success. Thanks to all the participants, who were ably trained by the untiring efforts of Sister Nicolena. FRESHIES' DANCE Springheld Syncopaters? VVho are they? Never mind, you'll Find out to- night at our hop. This was all the satisfaction we could obtain from the Freshmen with regard to their orchestra. On the eve of May fifth, we made our way to the auditorium, and lol said Syncopaters were none other than a group of our own select talent. Piano. drums, banjo, cornet. violins and flute, accompanied by rhythmical clapping, brought forth the snappiest of melodies. Eat, drink, and he merry proved to be the evening's slogan. And who could resist falling into the spirit of things with such sandwiches, such lemonade, and such an orchestra? i THEY DO SAY On VVednesday afternoon, April twentysseventh, the Sophomores broke the monotony of daily routine hy presenting a short comedy, ftThey Do Say. Three numbers, consisting of two songs by a chorus. an attractive reading, and a piano selection, preceded the comedy. Our verdict on the play was that the Sophs possess unlimited dramatic ability and a surplus of hyperbole XYe've decided to give up gossiping save on state occasions. Seventy-Seven KN f ' E' ,g f .. f Q, 122:52 ' f ' s, N E-- E WK Gus y-Eight NW 'l- fs-Q-LN .L f ' W CLASS DAY l.et it be written in the epitaph of Class '27, They were on time-once. The time was six-thirty in the morning: the place, the main corridor: the destination, Starved Rock: the means to the end, an honest-to-goodness bus: and the noise-- well the noise was abundant, 'fGirls, it's here. lt is beautiful. Aren't you thrilled? -and it was the most wonderful bus you could ever imagine. There were small wicker chairs with leather cushioned seats, dainty pink and white cur- tains on the windows, and plenty of room. The Juniors had decorated it with the cleverest posters and most untimely admonitions. The D-O-N-T-S stayed our feet from many embarrassing pitfalls. VVe followed all the advice-almost. The long journey was made in about four and a half hours, but to us it seemed much less time. There were songs, jokes, and fun galore. There were interesting card games of Old Maidf' which confirmed our suspicion that Ruth Allison and Frances Midden are to enter into the state of single blessedness. All Starved Rock must have known we were coming, for there were two bell- hops for every parcel. XVith grips, suit-cases, hat-bags, bell-hops and all, we made a triumphant entry into the hotel that gave us a taste of what it means to be royalty. There was a room for every two girls, and we immediately took possession. ,-Xt two o'clock we started on a boat excursion to Horse Shoe Canyon. XVe went slowly so that we got a good view of Starved Rock, Eagle Canyon, and The Pulpit. Upon arriving, we struggled through mud and over rocks. and arrived at a beautiful canyon. ln fact, so intense was the beauty that Kay Rach- ford, Frances Fox, and Fustie, quite overcome, Hung themselves into the Horse Shoe Falls. Six o'elock found twenty-four famished sight-seers in the neat dining room of the hotel enjoying a three-course dinner of delectable food. After that, greatly refreshed, we made our way to l.aSalle to see a movie. The Better Ole, a painful surprise, effected a hasty retreat and brought us back to a cleverly decorated dance hall and a good orchestra. At eleven-thirty each girl sought her roommate and v. ent to bed to dream the dreams of the peaceful. The next morning at nine o'clock breakfast was served and the crowd separated. The bus took some to 'tDeer Park and the rest of us went to 'llirench t anyon. T he entrance to which was made through a steep roek ravine, covered and draped with lace fern and clinging trees. Here four human flies made an excursion around Starved Rock that nearly ended in a catastrophe. The rain made it necessary for us to leave earlier than we had expected. VVe said our 'Tiood-bves to Starved Rock and by four oiclock the bus was home- ward bound. The journey was nearly a boat ride, but confidence in the driver dispelled our fears, and we found a new thrill in the danger. VVe stopped in Lincoln, ate lunch and saw Michael Strogoffufthen, straight to Springfield, where our Faculty and Juniors gave a hearty XVelcome home. After iced lemonade and wafers, twenty-four tired children went to bed, very happy and very grateful for their fun. lVe wish to express our gratitude to the liaculty for making our wonderful time a possibility, to Miss Miller for being the best chaperone we could possibly have had, and to theJu111ors tor sparing no pains in making our Class Day a huge success.

The English Class started out to be a very industrious allfairg it ended-f-but that is a long story. ln the midst of everything, Maxine Cripe came in and asked for Margaret lllonaglian. Now we usually are not curious, but when the junior Class president comes right into class and asks for the Senior Class president, any amount of curiosity is pardonable. Margaret was absent: so Clara Graham, our secretary, was carried off instead. XYe tried hard for the next few minutes to con- centrate on English, but that bit of suppression probably was not a good thing, for when Clara returned bearing a large box we fairly exploded. NNB lost loads of precious seconds laughing and chattering as we surrounded her. Finally each one ft us was frantically trying to untie the dainty blue ribbon from a pretty little parcel wrapped in white tissue paper. The hidden treasures were wee blue umbrellas, inside which were minute cards bearing the inscription, He our Guest, May 19, l927. The beginning of the end had come. These were the heralds of the turning point all a Senior's life at S, H. A., for with A. L. S. the Seniors give up their cherished privilege of hostesses and become honored guests. Hut we laughed and chattered louder than ever to make ourselves believe that our joy was not mixed with regrets. t.Xnd the English class-I can't seem to remember the end of it at alll inspired by stormy weather, we sent back to the Juniors a Urain cape doll bearing a bag loaded with our Thank you's. An intermission of five days followed, during which everybody worked but thc Seniors. For uve whole days we saw not. neither did we hear. The gala day came at last, and before we knew it each Senior was being led forth by an attentive Junior to begin the l'romenade. Wfas it the shimmering lights and the dazzling beauty of the decorations. or was it the dreamy music and the touching words of the junior Class Song that moved us so strangely? Perhaps it was vague regrets again playing on our heartstrings. The Promenade broke up and we danced till the lireshies turned our reveries into gasps of horror by bringing out and reading extracts from the Senior diary. They passed over all the lofty and inspiring passages which might have revealed to the gathering what truly noble folk they were entertaining that night, and read those discomhting and diverting incidents which we had hoped to keep secret for- ever and ever. .Xfter these embarrassing yet amusing revelations, we resumed dancing until again we were asked to be seated. This time the Commercials came to the front. 'l hey cleverly featured the Seniors in class. lt vexed us not a little to find that there were some who deigned to question publicly the spotless record which the Seniors hold of themselves. Eighty-One ,S x 11? oss as cus at T -Q The Sophomore herald next called us to 'Aattentionf' The scene changed to the Fox and Doolinu abode. The Senior and junior Dorms were assembled, listening to and hashing out the latest gossip. At the height of the conversation, Sister came in with a light tap, tap on the door. The effect was instantaneousp the stillness had that dull, lifeless quality of permanency, as if it had existed unruftled for ages. Her breath recovered, Fox dashed to the door and promised, Yes, Sister, we'll put the light out in just a minute. But when Sister was well out of hearing distance, the hub-bub swelled again. The scene couldn't have been truer to life. In keeping with the spirit, the orchestra struck up a lively fox-trot, while the juniors made ready for the Class Prophecy, Mary Purcell, the prophet, looked into the urn of the future and told us what she saw written there about our destinies, while the other members of the class gave us a glimpse of the reality. VVe are glad that we are all to be so illustrious and happy. Viewed so far ahead of time, some ol' them seemed quite humorous. VVe didn't expect Cso soonb to see Bernice Doolin as Sister l--, leading chapel ranks, and having her own way. Our imag- inary Kathryn Rachford, future orator, won a storm of applause. VVe hoped some day to see this reproduced in reality. Having been told by our Faculty advisors that the death of Class '27 is immi- nent and inevitable, we had drawn up our Last VVill and Testamentf' Ruth Feely, in a strong. clear voice that belied true feelings, made the Juniors our proud heirs. Last came the favor dance. Each Senior received a corsage of Roses and Sweet VVilliams, to which her Junior partner's name was attached. These couples soon formed i11to lines and we made our way to the refectoryg that is, it had been the rcfectory, but deft hands had turned it into a blue, white and gold, latticed garden which held everyone spellbound. At the conclusion of the sumptuous banquet a toast was given by Maxine Cripe, to which Margaret Monaghan responded. Father Giustirthen gave us a bit of timely advice and encouragement-another manifestation of his kindly interest. . Father Sloan, our last speaker, with his ever-ready wit, produced a hurricane O1 mirth. H All good things must come to an end. VVe broke up our party with songs. ihe Juniors sang first, and the Seniors responded. Our dream day was over, but we bore away fond memories that time will never efface.

H. A. The Faculty calls her a eapaole coach and an excellent Gym teacher, llllt the girls call l1er an all round good scout. Because of her enth11siasn1 and good jndginent, our Basket- ball 1021111 has beconie a powerful adversary of other teams i11 tl1e neigl1borl1ood. Sportsntaiiship has been developed and the great lesson of teain work has bee11 inipressed on onr 1HiIlilS. Her attention has not bee11 confined to Basket-ball, however, for Baseball, Tennis. and Croquet have bee11 eiieonraged, and received with enthusiasni. As Z1 teacher of Gym, she has succeeded in in1pressi11g us with the necessity of proper physical deyelopnient. She made her classes interesting and snappy. and we found that Physical C'11lA ture eo11ld be soniething besides a necessary evil. But, on less fornial occasions, Miss Miller was just a pal. VVhen we needed sonieone to chaperone us, she was ready to act in that capacity. XYhen we went for hikes. she was perfectly willing to hike: XYl1C1l we planned our trip to Starverl Rock. she was as anxious as we: no occasion was too inueh for her genial, good-natured attention. NYC would like to have Miss Miller know how 1l!llCl1 we ap- preciate her, illlil we hope sincerely she may be here next year tor the girls we leave behind ns.

EI, ze , We OUR TEAMS By the energy and yitality with which they entered all their games, the ,luniors showed an enthusiastic spirit, They fought hard to win, but luck was against thenl. This little squad was fast, and so it would he wise to be careful of theni next year. The Sophs were exceptionally good this year. The girls concentrated on what they were doing and put together one of the fastest little teams we have seen in action. They were a hard hghting tealn and could not be beaten for endurance. The Freshies were drilled this year upon fundamentals. Pleasing results were the outcome, for they showed the makings ot a fast and peppy squad. VX'ith an- other year's practice, we expect to see something worth while from thern. The First Connnercial showed an encouraging attitude towards athletics, with a resulting school spirit that has never hefore been shown lay the Connnercial classes. They took an interest in the whole affair, and with a little more practice they will he a hard opponent for most any teznn. 'ea isegbg Margaret Monaghan N inety-One Ninety-Tfu-o af THE TOURNAMENT Five classes, with not an absent member, occupying the bal- cony of the K. C. Gym on April 6, cheering, waving their colors, calling their favorite players by name, and wagering on their teams, announced that the basketball tournament of the S. H. A. was about to take place. just before the whistle blew, the Gold, Blue and VVhite, backed by eight physically-fit basketeers made its appearance on the floor and got in trim for the pressing game. Following, came the First Commercial, decked in their purple and white with the same outward appearance, to do or die, The whistle blew, all were silent, necks were craned. Then, the game began. The fight ended amidst shrieks and cheers for the Seniors, Then the Orange and Black came floating out, a hundred strong, and placed topsy their live mascot, in the center of the floor. They were followed by the Red and Black who likewise placed their mascot and began a few short plays. The game was a close one and it was hard to tell who would win until the final whistle blew leaving the score ll-12 in favor of the Sophs. On April the 7th the same scene greeted us. The Freshies bloomed out in their green and white to try their luck with the Sophs. But luck was against them. It seemed like that ball would just play on the hoop, they simply couldn't make baskets. They held a lofty and unconquerable air even to the end, when the score stood 15-8 in the Soph's favor. The Sophs fought a hard battle in the final game, and won the admiration of all by the grit and determination with which they entered it. The Seniors still held their knack of good play- ing and won the tournament from the Sophs with an easy score. The scores were: I Commercial 10, Seniors 25 Juniors ll, Sophomores 12 Freshies 83 Sophomores 15 Sophomores 4g Seniors 27 fs-QL-X QE .fs W . I El le ll TENNIS Thus far, definite tennis teams have not been organized, but we are looking forward to this final step next year. Although we cannot boast of a fixed team, we are proud to say that the court is scheduled for every free hour and that all the girls are intensely interested in the game. As our Athletic Association is yet young. tennis is one sport that is working its way to the front and will probably come to the top in the Associatioifs progress next year. From early morn till the evening study bell rings, matches are being played, and we feel we have some future cham- pions among our girls. The fact that the eonrt was re-worked this year and is in first class condition helps to make the playing a source of pleasure. BASEBALL I.ast year the baseball team was represented by the Ifreshman team, but this year, teams and captains were elected and organized in every class. The diamond has as yet been somewhat deserted, but try outs are to be played sometime this w eek. XYe will leave it to next year's annualists to say whether 1927 baseball teams were a success or not. CROQUET Several games of croquet have been featured this Spring, A Croquet tournament is being planned, for a later date, in which awards are to be granted. XYith a goal such as this in mind, croquet will probably rise another noteh in its way to success. lfired with the thought of this tournament, the girls are gradually becoming more interested and more games are being played.

GRADUATE'S MEMORY LAPSESQ PLEA FOR CASH GOES ASTRAY VVorries of graduation weighed so heavily on the mind of one sweet girl graduate yesterday that by a slight lapse of memory she defeated the pur- pose she had meant to attain. This girl was downtown shopping when she suddenly discovered that her supply of money was not sufficient to make the many and sundry purchases necessary for graduation. An urgent request for more funds was written on a post-card and dropped into the slot at the postofhce at 3 o'elock yesterday afternoon but unfortunately she forgot to address it. Among the articles listed as pur- chased or needing to be purchased were cards, invitations, class dues, an- nual, marcel, gown. diploma, pictures. as well as slippers and hose. She promised that this would be the last request for money, however, so far as she knew. One Hundred Twenty-Eight M eus I L, , QQ WW 3 Jlutoqraphs ,JEL f f fx ' V W x 15 all H A s f , X hir.
