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
