Page Two e c ID A T I M FOREWORD Oft in the stilly night. E ' er Slumber ' s chain has bound me, Fond Memory brings the light Of other days around me. This volume of the Gradatim, in which are enshrined memories of the years that have flown so swiftly, is designed to be the light of other days in our flight through time. The experiences of our school life have meant much to us. We trust the remembrances of them, in the years to come, will be signal lights that grow ever brighter as they beckon us on to greater endeavor. Page Three e IP av id a t II M THEME There is a quest that calls me In nights luhen I am alone. The need to ride where the ways divide The Known from the Unknown. I mount what thought is near me And soon I reach the place, The tenuous rim where the Seen grows dim. And the sightless hides its face. I have ridden the wind, I have ridden the sea, I have ridden the moon and stars, I have set my feet in the stirrup seat Of a comet coursing Mars. And everywhere Thro ' the earth and air My thought speeds, lightning-shod. It comes to a place where checking pace It cries Beyond lies God.

Rev. Leo Haid, O.S.B.D.D. The beauty of the surrounding country side, the pleasing climate, the quiet charm and the seclusion conducive to study were the factors that led the noble Benedictine to consider this locality as being an ideal situation for a boarding school for young ladies. The Sisters of Mercy were chosen to carry out the project. Ventures of this nature are extremely difficult, and this foundation proved to be no excep- tion. For years, the enrollment in the new Academy continued to be small, and the meagre accommodations rendered the work difficult and even trying. But the Sisters were exceptional women and they faced the situation with so dauntless a determmation that the splendid modernly equipped Sacred Heart Academy and Junior College of today is a monument to the foresight, and zeal, the strength of character and energy of will of those brave pioneers. The Academy continued with ever varying success through periods of affluence and depression, and as time went on, the people of Belmont and surrounding towns who had once looked askance at the undertaking began to patronize the school. At present, the number of day students bears witness to the fact that the educational advantages offered and the culture and refinement instilled have come to be appreciated at their true worth. A new wing. Victory Hall, named in honor of our Lady of Victory, was erected in 1920. This building includes the music department and auditorium as well as private rooms. In 1928 the administrative building was replaced by a splendid fire-proof structure, that combines durability with architectural beauty. The comfortable and homelike accommodations, the comprehensive and complete library facilities and the up-to-date furnishings have proven great assets toward scholastic achievement. When, in 1935, in response to ever-increasing demands for College courses. Sacred Heart Junior College opened its doors to students much joy was manifest and a long-felt need in this section was filled. The Junior College and Acad- emy now offers instruction in the following departments: A two-year College Course, which offers a choice of classical studies or a Cultural-Secretarial prepa- ration for the business world: a fully standardized High School, recognized by the State and holding membership in the Southern Association of Secondary Schools; and an efficient Grammar School in which pupils are grounded in the fundamental branches. We, the Class of 1937. are the first graduates of the Junior College. We are proud of the distinction which is ours, and we trust that through the years to come we may be living exemplars of those spiritual truths, and those lessons in self-reliance, character building and appreciation of things worth while, all of which have formed the very warp and woof of the pattern into which our lives have been woven during our stay at Sacred Heart. Page Eleven e K A ID T I AN APPRECIATION The training days at Sacred Heart flying field have prepared us to meet the hazards of the long flight into the future. Our pilots have warned against the risks of stunt flying and barn-storming. They have helped us build planes that will Withstand the sleet of severe winters and the heat of blazing summers. As we take off into the future, we shall ever be mindful of that bright beacon shining from Sacred Heart. May it be to others as it has been to us — the inspiration for strong flights and happy landings. Page TiL ' elve € K ID A T I M GRADUATE AMY HOLLAND Mt. Holly, N. C.

TO THE GRADUATES We wish you TRUTH — That things for you may not just seem. But be their seeming — good or ill. And that each radiant, rose-tipped dream That beckons you from that high hill Of Heart ' s Desire may b ' in sooth God ' s noble truth ! . . . We wish you PEACE — Such peace as Easter liHes know Upon His blessed altar fair — The peace that lives with spotless snow — The hush and calm of fervent prayer The peace that comes with glad surcease- Heaven ' s sweetest peace! . , . And BEAUTY, too, We wish for you — soft twilights dim, The petals of a full-blown rose, Sweet organ notes that plead to Him And every fragrant wind that blows. May your dear feet forever stray In beauty ' s way ' . . . We wish you LOVE Such love as John of old half-guessed In that dear hour so long ago. When Virgin head met Virgin BREAST Such love not even mothers know Most dearly prized all things above. God ' s perfect LOVE ' Thh Juniors Page Ticentu e IP aV id a T II M SENIOR GLASS HISTORY The large blue and white airplane, the SH.A-, was ready to take off. and wc, the passengers, hesitatingly and even reluctantly climbed into the clean cool interior. What we were going to do. how long the trip would take, what disappointments or enjoyments were going to be ours, we knew not ' But the good blue and white ship seeking higher altitudes proved to be safe and enjoyable, and the trip extremely interesting, cultural, and educational. From the day when, as Freshmen, we entered into this strange barque, when the rarefied atmosphere boomed loudly in our untrained ears, when the regularity and discipline aroused rebellious thoughts in our liberty loving hearts, until today, when sadly but hopefully we leave our beloved S H A., few were th e lonely hours and fewer still the hours of inactivity. During the first lap of our journey, after we had become accustomed to our strange surroundings, we were initiated into athletics and joined in the numerous activities. But early we learned that in social events we were the entertainers. Perhaps these swift descents made usi homesick for the attentions that had been ours, but we now realize that spiritually and mentally we were benefited And. though we are not sure, yet wc feel that development of character! made us love the daily routine and sigh with regret when we sighted in the distance the hangar in which our ship would be moored. After the novelty of the larger freedom had died away, we gladly boarded the big ship for our second year of exploration and discovery. This time, we were more at home, and even helped to assuage the fears and make enjoyable the trip for the new passengers who had timorously joined us at the last airport. Surer of ourselves, and more certain of our footing. we now took an active part in all events. When the weather was ceiling zero. and low ' flying only was safe, our studious discoveries were numerous and interesting. But when we could sail aloft, debates on our findings often ended with a lunch and dance. Or again we staged a play for St. Patrick ' s Day. which, like an oasis, brightened and cheered us until Easter ushered in other entertainments And quickly we flew until all too soon we arrived at our second terminus. Our regret on landing proved that our plane was really becoming a home. But. being eager travelers, there we were ready again to scramble in when the ship was about to take-off in September. Our trip was half over, but the better part lay ahead. For our minds, like soil prepared for seed, were more adaptable to new truths and correspondingly fruitful, while we were more appreciative of the wondrous vistas that opened before us. Proud of our histrionic ability and our knowledge of the language we staged a French play. And to us the marchons of the Marseillaise was but another note of encouragement to continue. And we did The numerous card parties, the entertaining plays, the well-planned, picturesque May fete, and above all. the never-to-be forgotten Junior-Senior Banquet, proved our proficiency as entertainers. Gladly, hopefully, yet with anticipations tinged with sadness, we began our last year. The tables were now turned, and on all occasions we were the entertained, not the entertainers. We enjoyed all our privileges and pleasures to the utmost. But then again wc realized the fact that doing for others brings the only real enjoyment in this world. Our athletic prowess grew with our growth, and in this our last year, many victories crowned our efforts. But now, all these happy days belong to the past. We shall miss the pure, clean wholesome air, the regularity that means comfort to all the passengers, the quick uplift of unexpected pleasures, the stunts and fancy diving of athletic and social events, and above all the calm, peaceful sailing that ever kept before us the thought — Beyond lies God. And now that time, the ever changeable, with inexorable decree has written ' Tinis to our peaceful days, may we prove ourselves worthy of the expectations of our fellow passengers. our classmates; of our pilot and officers, the chaplain and the Sisters who have guided us. guarded us. and taught us during the past years. And still your teaching shines with perfect brightness. To guide our feet along life ' s road That winds away o ' er the misty mountains. And will end one day at the Lord ' s abode.

But ability, that stumbling block at the entrance, keeps many admirers on the outside. The plays given during the year were indeed most successful, and gave great promise that those who took part would excel in dramatic art. The students also had the opportunity to see professional players recently when Shakespearian players from New York presented scenes from As You Like It. Julius Caesar, and The Taming of the Shreiu. One who does not appreciate the splendid field of dramatics at Sacred Heart should truly exclaim with Cassius in Julius C-aesar: The fault, dear Brutus, is not m our stars. But in ourselves, that loe are underlings.

The Club has certainly stimulated the study of French and helped us to appreciate the beauties of the language.
