They are ever alert to help us. to encourage and to strengthen us. The purity and unselfishness of their lives, the kindness and gentleness of their actions, the joy and pleasure of their work, inspire us to greater heights. In their ten- der love and delicate consideration we sense a heavenly spirit. With devoted fervor our Faculty guides our spiritual, bodily, and mental welfare. Each day they begin anew to help us with genial companionship, kindly good will, unceasing patience, useful advice, and gracious manner. They make our school years more precious. From the richness of their hearts, minds, and souls they impart to us the courage to strive on- ward to heaven, our eternal destiny. — Frances Angelo. % % Page Four The Most Reverend Vincent George Taylor.

WITNESSES: Barbara Rushing ALMA PARKER Page Thirteen GRADATIM Senior Class History Just four short but full years ago we entered Sacred Heart Academy for the first time. For some of us it was our first year at boarding school, in fact, in some cases the first winter away from home. After we had sufficient time to recover from our homesickness, we began to look about us. and finally came to the conclusion that there were many changes to be made and. as we were about the most important people around, we should be the ones to make them. How- ever, before long the SENIORS informed us that dear old S. H. A. had gotten along very well before we came and could get along just as well now that we were here, and furthermore, we were made to understand that as far as Fresh- men were concerned — well, they rated a little less than nothing. We recovered from this great insult in time to enjoy the many activities of the school and before we knew it we were Sophomores. As Sophs we regained some of our enthusiasm of the previous year. But just when we were feeling our importance to the highest degree some very unkind person informed us that the word Sophomore meant foolishly wise. How- ever, we soon drowned our sorrows in our studies and the many, many social events of the year. The time passed quickly and soon we were Juniors. We had entertain- ments of all kinds, made the basketball team, and gave the Junior-Senior Banquet (which we thought just too. too lovely). Then came commencement! How silly we thought the Seniors were, crying all the time. When WE are Seniors there will be no tears. We ' re going out to conquer the world. Didn ' t they realize that they had actually received their diplomas? And now we are SENIORS! We have enjoyed the Senior clubs, privi- leges, and social activities, but. as the time grows nearer for our graduation, we can understand why there were tears last year at commencement. We have lost our enthusiasm to conquer the world and wish only to go out into it and prove ourselves worthy of the expectations of our teachers and classmates, and worthy also of the name of Children of Mary. We leave, as most Seniors do, sadly and gladly; sadly, because we realize that we must part from those we love dearly — our Chaplain, the Sisters, and our schoolmates: gladly, because we are proud to have had the honor of having the Sisters of Mercy as our instructresses, both in educational and spiritual matters, and because we have had the privilege of living, these past four years, in close contact with Our Creator. May we always remain close to His Sacred Heart and to His Blessed Mother. Harriett Bush. Historian. % % I n % 1 1 I 8 A D AT I M Senior Class Prophecy Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Thus the witches of Macbeth greet us as we pass from our childhood schooldays and stand at the threshold of our new life Half-eager, half fearful, we strain to catch a glimpse of the unknown future Humbly we ask them. Give us a scant hint of out future. Good- naturedly, not as we knew them of old. they agreed, and accordingly, began once more to stir their gruel and mutter their charm Harriett Bush, step forward. Your future life will be marked by the care and rule of a beautiful and spacious home in California. Your husband, a naval officer, will be famous and you will share his fame. Every luxury and happiness will be yours. Estelle Cuddy, step forward Your services will be in demand at all important literary circles, libraries will be dedicated to you. schools will bear your name. All these will be the gifts of an America, proud of you for your literary talent. You will publish book after book, but your greatest fame will lie in your biological essays. Elizabeth Diggle. step forward. The future holds great happiness with little of sorrow for you. For many years you will be seen and heard of at all the brilliant social events. There you will shine as a star. In time you will wed a university professor and aid him in his work. Margaretta Gollncr. step forward. Your new life will find you situated in a small town of North Carolina. People will come from far and near to sec your famous ' Yo -Yo quilts ' Not many years hence you will have a shop of Yo-Yo quilters ' all your own. Mildred Harris, step forward. You, too. will be a social ' woman. After a college course you will travel to New York, where you will offer your services as a social worker. For some years you will labor at this t3sk and. there vou will be chosen as a lecturer. In this capacity you will speak of your experiences in every city in the United States. Sarah Sanders, step forward. For you we sec a renowned hospital. As its superintendent, you will march through its cool halls on your tours of inspection, with your stiffly starched uniform crackling as you walk. You will make a name and place for yourself in the annals of the great. In your efforts to relieve suffering humanity, you will, one day. discover a powerful serum which will save the lives of many. Jessie Tatum. step forward. Before you arc books, papers, pencils, and more books. Y ' ou will devote yourself to the uplifting and educating of young minds. Beginning as a kindergarten teacher you will advance until you arc the owner and directress of a school of your own. In this school you will gather about you the most famous teachers of your time. The world will be astounded at your radical methods of teaching. Marjorie Venning, step forward. The future world will hear and marvel at your secre- tarial work. You will set new records in speed typing, shorthand, and accuracy in bookkeeping- Business men will plead for your services. You will be surpassed by none in efficiency. Page Fifteen % i i w r M G R A D A T I M Cletus Wacchtcr, step forward. For some time after your graduation from a school of design, you will act as a model in exclusive clothing establishments. Later you will work hard upon original designs. After much labor, they will be successful. You will make trips to Paris regularly for new ideas. In a few years you will have the center of fashion removed from Paris to New York. Your sweetest triumph will be a portrait of yourself hung in the recreation room of Sacred Heart Academy and a statue raised to you in Louisville. Kentucky. Hazel Wells, step forward. Thou art last and yet shalt be first. ' Ere long the world will lose its attraction for you and you shall heed the Divine Call. Yours will not be the task of soothing the suffering. Nay, the world will know you not through your hidden life. The closed doors of the Carmelite Convent will swing open at your touch. Yours will be a joyous life, holding communion only with your Spouse, spea king only to Him from the depths of that warm, courageous heart of yours. Truly thou art last and yet shalt be first. The witches fade from view and naught is left but our own thoughts. Was it a dream? Maybe not. Maybe . . . Oh! Cui bono? MARGARETTA GOLLNER. Prophetess.
