L. Cbc ©raDatim On the other hand — what about the social and political world ' Wc defy anyone to show us a position that man holds in this country which a woman would not be as equally qualified to hold. You may be able to point to some specific office — a woman has never been President, nor head of this or that, etc.: but does that prove that woman is not able to attain to all these things. ' The present state of affairs would have us believe that woman is coming into her own. or. as Herrick Johnson puts it. Christianity has lifted woman to a new place in the world . . . And just in proportion as Christianity has sway. will she arise to a high dignity in human life . . . What she has now. and all she shall have of privileges and true honor, she owes to that gospel which took those qualities which had been counted weak and unworthy, and gave them a divine glory in Christ. However, the title of this treatise leaves us a definite task. This is being written for us — young women of Sacred Heart Academy — some of us soon to go out and take our positions along with the other members of our sex. We are women! Then what: It is only natural that we will have the same pri- vileges that other women enjoy. We. though, are blessedly circumscribed in our status of being women by the one little word which, in reality, means everything — Catholic! And if we are not Catholic, at least we are representa- tives of a Catholic institution. There is where we all, Catholics and non- Catholics, are on an equal footing. And just what does Sacred Heart Acad- emy expect of us ' Does she want us to be living realities of the novelistic convent-school-type ' Does she want us to be always reserved, prudish, static? Or, from an economic point of view, does she want us to raise the torch and shout Sacred Heart Academy! to the world ' To all these questions wc answer, NO. Then, what does she want us to do. ' ... If you asked us that question before you got the last word out. we would have answered. She wants us to be Ladies of Mary. And what a wealth of admonition there would be in such an answer! She wants us to be living examples of all that Mary stands for — those principles which have been engendered by the spirit of Christ. Whether we take our position in religion, in a family, or in any other field of action, we are signed with a glorious sign — we are students of His Sacred Heart. What then? Wc must seek our work in the will of God. What then? We must live as Mary lived. What then? We must do and dare for God and neighbor. What then? We must breathe ever the atmosphere of Bel- mont. What then ' We must exemplify in our lives the very spirit of Sacred Heart Academy! Page Twenty- three
