,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. Fzglzty T-'wo

Eighty-Four X + f A fygx CUB W 12 MISS MILLER In one short year Miss Miller has eoine to be .111 important nieinber of S. 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.
