From the store-houses of their minds, we have stocked our intelligences with knowledge and skills necessary for living efficiently in society, according to the mandates of them, we have cared for our bodies so that they may serve our minds in our efforts to live life to its fullness; under their kindly guidance we have learned to know the kind God under whose Providence we hope to live holily and die happily.

Father Alphonse, the wish to say GRADUATES, IN DEPARTING THANK YOU! AND GOD BLESS YOU. Page Ten THE GRADATIM M $ M To the Seniors Not now regret, nor sudden hurting dread, No trembling foot upon the road ' s expanse. What though today fond yesterdays are dead. The sky above is cloudless. In advance Beyond the white road ' s turn the heights arise. And scaling them for you brooks no delay. No gloomy fear lurks in your smiling eyes, And June ' s rose-wealth is all your own today. But wait till Omar ' s bird has flown the pace Of ten swift years, then looking fondly back. You ' ll wish with all your heart you could retrace The pathway o ' er. What changes you would make In that same road that now you long to take. But few the deeds you would wish to efface. If now you heed the lessons that are taught. Then at each trial you ' d spurn whate ' er is base. And cling to worthwhile things, and count as naught The golden dross or baubles fondly sought. Be yours to hold the fort with courage rare. Though skies above be cloudy or be blue. Sometimes indeed the valley will be fair. And oft the hill will rise too steep for you. What matters it, if you can keep the song. That all your heart is singing forth today. Not only at the dawn, but all day long, And make all dragging hours a fragrant May. If you be ever true, on that great day. When God shall seek His own. then each can say. I ' ve followed precepts given and so have won. These words of praise from God. ' My child, well done.

Page Fourteen J W jfj THE GRADATIM - --AAA- ClaSS Prophecy C cold day in New York is never a matter for rejoicing, but when a C i drizzle is added to the nipping frost, conditions outside are absolutely unchristianlike. Even the idea of leaving my cosy apartment sent thrills of displeasure up and down my spine. Still. Barbara had insisted that I help her select an evening gown for the evening ' s affair — a dinner party in honor of the leading newspaper men and women of the metropolis. And when the Women Keyhole Columnist of the New York Times insists upon anything she usually gains her point. Yes. I had been persuaded to brave the weather to help satisfy the vanity of a women reporter or should I say Columnist ' Hurrying up Broadway at a pace intended to counteract the effects of the cold wind. I suddenly learned the result of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object. The immediate cause of my education proved to be a very cold-looking young lady travelling equally fast in the opposite direction. I say that she was very cold-looking because her nose displayed all the symptoms of frost-bite. In the midst of our mutual apologies a sense of familiarity struck my mind. Somewhere, sometime before I had heard that voice — seen that face. But where ' No doubt she experienced like emotions for she faltered. Why. er! Haven ' t we met before? Simultaneously we exclaimed. Didn ' t you graduate from . . .? and the answer was that certainly we both had graduated from Sacred Heart Academy in 1934. Eileen Peters! Evelyn Rea! Barbara Hoole! Then followed the usual expressions of delight and excuses for not writing which take place when friends meet after so many years. When we explained our mission to Eileen she suggested that we might add to Barbara ' s beauty at her shop on Fifth Ave. Her schoolday love of clothing had led her into this venture. Have you heard from any of our old classmates ' asked Barbara. Yes. Some of them are here in the city. But let ' s get your gown now and do our reminiscing afterwards. After Barbara had selected her gown — which was easily accomplished from Eileen ' s large stock of up-to-the-minute styles, our friend led us to a very charming tea room. As I had always pictured Catherine Diggle a star in some Pag Fifteen i M MM THE GRADATIM musical comedy or other it was somewhat of a surprise to find her in these surroundings. She gently reminded me, however, of her ambition as a girl to be a tea room hostess. Looking about the place we spied Carrie Keenan who. we learned, was a famous Evangelist doing her best to lead the younger generation from the errors of its ways, Anne DuLong, radio ' s white-edition of Blanche Calloway, and Laura Conrey, the reigning queen of the big city ' s Interior Decorating Societies, were also seen, as was Amy Holland, known to the theatre-going pub- lic as Tamara Rominoff. She was the latest find of the Metropolitan Opera. Not even had my inheritance of two million dollars filled me with such delight and happiness as did the sight of my old friends and the knowledge of their success. While we were idly sipping our tea and nibbling on some wafers. Helen Lewis passed by with her new husband in tow. Incidentally Helen had always vowed that she would never make that fatal march to the strains of Lohen- grin. Still, Cupid is a difficult person to elude constantly. Carrie Keenan suggested that we run up to the Carmelite Convent for a last look at Joan Libby as she is making her final vows next year. The convent is just the place for young girls, commented Carrie. I, myself, could have entered if I didn ' t feel called to the service of these youngsters in the world. . . . With her words my crystal ball becomes dim. and the Class of ' 34 has heard its destiny. — Evelyn Rea, Prophetess. • •jElfSS Every art is holy in itself; it is the son of Eternal Light.

But. to give a history of the Class of ' 34. is almost impossible. We have done so many things these past four years! However, the four years are about to end. And so, we give this brief history of our class. We entered Sacred Heart Academy as Freshmen, fully convinced that the others who had gone on before us had done it all wrong. We were fired with that enthusiasm that brings freshmen to think that they are going to change things. We were soon repulsed, and we were brought to realize that THE SENIORS possessed our same frame of mind. There were activities, plenty of them, and the year rolled around and we found ourselves Sophs. As Sophs, we slowed down considerably in our creative ambition and decided that after all. Sacred Heart Academy had gotten along many years without our help and that, possibly, the Sisters could run the place. We studied, studied diligently. Then, we were Juniors. Parties, all kinds of social activities came our way. we made the athletic teams, entertained the Seniors, and looked forward to the year to come, the so-called year-of-years. We were going to be SENIORS. And we became Seniors. We remembered — and some of us smiled at the recollection too — our thoughts as Freshmen. Of course we acted real dig- nified, but that was for the undergraduates. All of us knew that in June we were to leave Sacred Heart Academy. There were some who knew that there was a chance of their not leaving — after all. to leave means to pass exams. Activities were numerous. We attended games outside, played our own games, gave suppers, attended shows, gave shows, and received our prized and eagerly anticipated graduation rings. And now. we must record in this history, our leaving. Perhaps other histories have quoted other graduates as saying that they left sadly. We, no matter how bold it may seem, leave gladly and joyfully. We leave gladly be- cause we are glad — glad that God gave us the chance to be students at S. H. A., and joyfully, because we believe that we have acquired what the Sisters have required — that we be educated, cultured, and true children of Mary. — Eileen Peters.

My mother accom- panied me and really, I never had such a wonderful time in all my life. Mother kept chiding me all through the parties, saying that she hadn ' t seen my face so radiant since I made my First Communion. And if my face was radiant, there was a reason. I was happy to the bursting point. First of all, I really like Tom Peters. Then, too, the Spring Parties at Michigan are something dreamed of usually by girls in my town. But. Tom Peters — good old Tom, had invited me. The Parties lasted a full week. We were on our third day of ' partying. The Kappa Beta Informal was the next dish on our menu of collegiate thrills. Couples were whirling about, the orchestra played soft music, the warbling tones of a crooner wafted through the hall, the crystal ball cast differently colored shadows, and, really. I was in the proverbial Seventh Heaven. Tom was a Sir Gallahad. He seemed blissfully happy — happy in the idea of making me happy. I must con- fess, I saw many things I had never dreamed of in Tom Peters that night. For the seventh time in twenty minutes. Tom cut in on my dancing partner. He must have realized that I was tired — I was a little tired, though perfectly content to keep on dancing, but he suggested a stroll through the garden. We did stroll. When we got into the garden. I decided that Tom surely had had some grounds for his suggestion so I pointed to a bench and we sat down. Happy ? he asked. Too happy, was my reply. Well. he said. What do you think of Michigan State? Tom, I said, it ' s wonderful. I wish I hadn ' t been sent to a convent school for my education. Things weren ' t like they are here. This place is another paradise. Yes. he came a little closer and said, you probably think it is a paradise. It is all right. But I think that a convent education beats them all. This was startling, Tom Peters talking like that ' He had never even gone to a parochial school — wasn ' t even a Catholic. Suddenly, I made up my mind that I was going to let him have his little say. It seemed that he had something to tell me about convents that I didn ' t realize. So. I asked him, Tom. what is you idea of a convent education and why do you think that a convent system has rhem all beat? His reply was slow. In fact, a minute elapsed before he said a thing. Meanwhile, I whistled the tune that you could just hear the orchestra playing. Then, he started to talk. You — Peg — you don ' t appreciate the education you ' ve had. And, you know more than I do about convent education. But you have been intimate with it. and your point of view is too close to the thing itself — to appreciate it. One must take a distant point of view. I say. Convent Training beats them all. In the first place, the essence of convent edu- cation lies in the Sisters — he hesitated, the Sisters themselves. I ' ve heard that Sisters are banded together to glorify God and assist humanity. Then, surely if they teach, they teach for a purpose. Those same Sisters have it on our teachers here, because teaching is a part of them — their life ' s work. They take girls, for instance, as they took you, and not only im- part some keen education, but polish you off. that is. knock off the rough edges. (I ' m trying to use his language so you can appreciate the man ' s point of view.) Then. I believe you un- consciously take on a Christian spirit, the love of Christ. Then, after filling your spiritual needs, they teach you culture. And their culture is well founded — I understand it has developed from Christ Himself. This convent education of yours also embraces vocational guidance. Page Nineteen 19 3 4 THE GRADATIM Oh, there are thousands of things — like — making a girl to be what she ought to be. It ' s rather difficult to explain, but it can easily be seen. There are hundreds of fine girls here, but. somehow, there is something missing. I believe it is because of the training they get in these big universities — they are taught like boys, treated like boys and we begin to see but little difference between them and ourselves. Convent girls have that finished personality that makes them properly feminine. And. believe me. Peg. this was never truer than tonight when I was able to compare you with . . . We were interrupted by my partner for the third no-break. (I can ' t understand how he found us out there!) I was sorry our interesting little lesson had to close. I went back into the ballroom. The days passed and I returned home. Even the memory of that week still thrills me. although it wasn ' t so long back that it all happened. I got home happy, tired, and thinking. Tom was here last Christmas. His last letter read that he would be here soon again, and, if I get the chance. I am going to make him complete his little sermon and reveal some more informa- tion I never thought of to one who was. for six long years, a Convent Girl. — Helen e. Lewis.
