Y NOTHF.R year has come and gone and as Commencement approaches, one thought is ever foremost in our minds—that we shall soon be obliged to leave dear old St. Alphonsus and with her, the kind and faithful guidance of the Sisters, who have always been our truest friends. They have helped us, not only in acquiring an education in the sense of the world, but also by instilling into our hearts the love and fear of God. They have ever been to us, second only to our parents, as they have carried on the education begun at home. It is during our school life that habits are formed and our lives determined; every avenue that leads to fame in this great country begins at the door of the school. Therefore, it is our teachers, who inspire us to lofty ambitions and keep our thoughts centered on a worthy goal. As you think, so are you,” said the man of science, and what better teachers could one desire to possess than these noble women who have given up the pleasures of the world to follow the call of the Divine Master? It is true that everyone of us, in the days of his youth, is building a world as certainly as he who builds up stones and crowns them with towers and domes. We come into a world that is open to receive us; for a few short years we live in the world as we find it, but soon, perhaps almost sooner than we know, we are making our own world, carving our own way, shaping our own thoughts, con- trolling our own destinies. It is then that the influence, which our teachers have exercised over us at school, will remain with us even after they have gone to their final resting places, after having made the world a better place for having lived in it. May the Divine Lord shower upon them all the blessings which they justly merit, and reward them a hundred-fold for the noble work, which they have accomplished. Lavina Eichner, ’27.

Jiitilee OJe f Out of the heart of this gladsome year, Out of its sunshine, soft and clear, Cometh a sweet, melodious sound, Gathering strength on its onward hound— Gathering bloom on its fragrant wing. As the Jubilee chimes in the belfry swing; And the years come back from their silent urns, Like the joyous waves when the tide returns, To break once more on the shores of time. With a rapturous lay and a song sublime. List to the bells front their airy towers. Scattering joy like Springtime flowers, Token and memories of the day In the silver twilight far away. ’Tis the Master’s plaudit from Heaven’s high spheres, Blessing and crowning these seventy-five years, And our hearts go out on the waves of song, In the might of their joy as they sweep along, Telling the land and telling the sea ’Tis the hour of a glorious jubilee. St. Alphonsus! the gratef ul thousands attest. Who arise today to proclaim thee blest— Blest in the flock to your keeping given, Blest in the souls that were trained for heaven; Blest, thrice blest—in the great Well Done” That seems from the azure sky to come. The future largely of promise tells, When the bloom will wave in the ripened dells; When the harvest shall yield thee a hundred fold And the future years shall be crowned with Gold.
