It is a contingent part of that pattern which forms our daily school life. For four years, common rules, studies, and recreations have created a strong bond hetween the Class of '57 and St. Agnes Academy. Our pleasant associations, however, have been accepted until now Without reflection. But, at the moment of parting, we feel the importance of retaining old contacts and friendships. An active Alumni Association, the op- portunities of returning to social functions, and the continuance of personal amities with the faculty and students are presented to us as a means of forming a more perfect union.

W THE 1937 L.A7XffB E Class of 1937 President MARGUERITE RYAN Vice-Presiden t VINCENT KARL Secretary ELEANOR FELTON Treasurer FRANCES HOWARD A Four-Year journey IT IS IUST four short years since we, the Class of '37, were graduated from grammar school and prepared to embark upon our high-school career. Now, we are on the threshold of another Commencement. We are about to leave Saint Agnes Academy, sadly separating after being so closely united for the past four years. Some of our num- ber will journey further along the Road of Education through the medium of college training. Different paths will naturally be chosen by all of us. Some will become nurses, some teachers, others will enter the business world, while perhaps a chosen few will be privileged to select the religious life. However, before we set sail upon the turbulent Sea of Life, it will be well to call to mind a few incidents of our short time together. It was a bright September morning when we awoke to the realization that our first high-school day was about to begin. With what mingled emotions we approached Saint Agnes, that morning! An excited and rather bewildered group of boys and girls, we met for the first time and became the Freshman Class of Saint Agnes High School. How proud and jubilant we were to think that at last we were attending high school! Only two months before, in Iune, at our elementary-school Commencement, we felt that our cup of knowledge was about full. We wondered just what more one could learn in a high school. But as we marched from room to room in Saint Agnes', and the Latin, algebra, French, and biology books piled up in our arms, we began to feel that perhaps we were not so well versed in knowledge after all. However, we all vowed to do our best and strive for our ideal fand isn't it every Freshmanis desire?j that is, that we might soon become Seniors. And thus, struggling with unfamiliar subjects, try- ing our best to master them, refreshing ourselves at various times with little recreations, one of which was the enjoyable trip to view the excellent motion picture, Through the Centuries, our Freshman year passed, and almost before we knew it we became Sophomores. In this, our second.year, we felt more at home in Saint Agnes'. Somehow, our llll i will 1 THE 1937 LAf7XCfB Q class felt that it had really become a part of the great student body. Since we had found high school to be much different from what we had expected, we were more serious this year. However, our Sophomore year was filled with many enjoyable events. The principal social affair of our Sophomore life was our memorable George Washington Birthday Dance. Another event which made our second year so happy was the bus ride to the Capitol Theatre in New York to see the screen portrayal of Dickens's immortal masterpiece, David Copperfield. Thus the second quarter of our high-school career slipped quickly by and we entered our third year. Howhappy we were to become Iuniorsl We all realized that in one more year the cherished place in school life would be ours. And after one fleeting year we would finally gain our goal. The members of the Class of ,37 knew that the battle was half won. It was in this spirit that we began our third year. Proud to be able to take charge of the school paper, we managed to gtiide it through a successful year. Other events which helped to make our Iunior year a memorable one were the grand trip to see A Tale of Two Cities, the unforgettable Fan-Fare Dance, and the organization of the Glee Club by our class. Finally, in Iune, after a very happy and successful year, our Class Party was held. I am sure that none of us will forget that wonderful climax to our third year. T At length we attained the top-1-we became Seniors. This year meant the realization of all our dreams. And yet, it has passed so quickly, a year full of hard study, it witnessed our successful Senior Prom, our visit to the Book Fair and the Museum of Science and Industry, and the many other events which crowded our Senior days. Now, at last, our expectations have been fulfilled. We are about to be graduated, and each and every one of us feels that all that we set out to do has been accomplished. And if at times the road was rough we are now compensated a thousandfold. In conclusion, before we reluctantly take our leave of dear Saint Agnes Academy, let us thank God for those four wonderful years which we enjoyed together, for indeed they may prove to be the happiest years of our lives. And lastly, let us offer up a silent prayer for those who have so generously guided us, both intellectually and spiritually, over those restless years of our youth. May dear Saint Agnes bless them, and may she always watch over the Class of 1937. Bernadette Waterman l13l ibn' an Q. ,UI la if .,f',1 W 'w if QY -:INA lb, ,f all 1 all fri?

In all, Miss Shephard had thirty-nine pieces of luggage, two Eskimo huskies, an African parrot, and a pet monkey! Farther down the deck, Miss Dorothea Guerin was busy auto- graphing books. Miss Guerinls best seller, 'LAW Gee! has just passed the five-thousand mark. Another noted arrival was Miss Kathryn Ketcham. Miss Ketchamls return from Paris after five years of dress designing is heralded as an American victory over French de- signers, for she is the year's fore- most dictator of fashions. Mr. and Mrs. Robert fMary Stearnsj Waters were also aboard, returning from their European honeymoon. Miss Patricia C. McKenna, Americais representative at the World Court, is back in the United States for a well-earned rest. Blue Skies New Musical Cpened last Night CRITICS FAVIIRABLY INCLINEII TOWARD NEW SHCW The newest musical comedy to come to Broadway, Blue Skies, had an ex- cellent start last evening. First-nighters crowded the theater as the much-heralded show began. The most outstanding performances of the evening were given by Miss Claire Biekerton, the leading lady, and Miss Ruth Regan, famous comedian. Much of the success of the comedy is due to the excellent musical score Written by the Misses Marguerite Beagan and Elaine Schaaf. Virginia Mendelsohn, veteran producer of many shows, has again picked a hit, and we join her in predicting that the musical will have an extended run. Miss Helen Finnin, the authoress, responded to curtain calls of Author many times before the exuberance of the audience was abated. CHARITY BAll IJRAWS PATRIINS Many Attend Dance Given for Comniunity Chest The Annual Community Chest Ball was held last night at the Hotel Bergen. A record attendance was reported and the receipts were very gratifying. Miss Leanore Bergen, owner of the hotel, donated the main ballroom for the occasion. Others who were as willing to lend a helping hand included Miss Dorothea Roche and her famous orchestra, the Roche Rhythm- makersf' and Miss Marty Dougherty, who coached the entertainers. The show included many top-billers who dropped in for a moment. Notable among them were the comedy team of Dorothy Loonam and Dolores Cartwright. Miss lane Hecht, popular blues singer, was also present. One of the best acts of the evening was that of Miss Catherine Reilly, who played the piecolo with gusto reminiscent of that old master.

Alma Mater Revival Great Success socrrrr vimiiscuooi-our scrurs Many of Gotham's most prominent matrons today visited their Alma Mater, the Academy of Saint Agnes, Rockville Centre. Representing the Class of 1937 Qfamous for the success of its membersj was the Countess Diuka Vzadimar, the former Ruth Breen, who donated the tele- vision equipment to the school. Another celebrated visitor was Mrs. Astor Nutley van Bruuk, the former Marguerite Ryan, who was influential in starting Saint Agnes College for Women which ad- ioins the Academy. Miss lean Kelly, the globe-trotting member of that re- nowned class, was also present at the gathering. She recently made the Academy a gift of a magnificent gymnasium, which takes in an entire block. Miss Kelly in- sists that nothing is too good for her Alma Mater. Another noted visitor was Mrs. Gui- llaume Pierre d'Orsay, the former Mar- guerite Fenning, who dropped in for a few minutes prior to her return to New York. Mrs. d'Orsay is going back to Paris tomorrow to reioin her husband, the new Premier of France.

SAINT AGNES ACADEMY HOLDS ALUMNI CUNVENTIUN Class ot 1937, Grand Winner in Success Poll Saint Agnes Academy, Rockville Centre, held its first Annual Alumni Convention last evening in thc huge school auditorium. Friendly greetings and handshakes were in order as the old grads renewed past ac- quaintances. In this convention the officers presented a new feature which was received with real enthusiasm. The nature of the feature was this: each alumnus was to cast a vote for the class which he or she considered to have been the most successful in life- the one that contributed the most doctors, nurses, lawyers, statesmen, nuns, priests, scientists, or other noted additions to the higher professions. The Final outcome of this novel poll was an overwhelming num- ber of votes for the Class of 1937. - We offer our sincere congratulations to them in their upholding the Saint Agnes standard. The convention closed with the invita- tion that all return next year for a bigger and better reunion. me -- s N 44 l XN xX it 5 xx +4 f' -mt N-Gaia, .A -as ..-...- Q, i1-li -:fist Vsxfv- mt 'wxxwxw xvvq-v NNN -1 H X QYXQXHA J I W THE 1937 LAMB Q We Pause . . and Glance Backward! N THE EVE of our Commencement, we, the graduates of SAINT AGNES ACADEMY, are reminded that we are passing out of an old era and into one which is wholly new-even though, we are told, Nothing new has happened since the fall of the Roman Empire, and certainly not since the Renaissancef' So forth we go into this new world full of greater opportunity for youth than ever before in history. It is only fitting then, as we emerge on the threshold, to pause for a moment and think as we glance backward. For some of us, our short stay within the sacred precincts of the Academy will be only the beginning of a more complete education. For others, it may possibly be the end of education as measured in the Halls of Academic Training but, most emphatically, not the end of all learning. In any case, surely all of us have acquired a working basis, a firm foundation-a set of standards, we hope, and a sense of values. Upon these rocks, surely and slowly, little by little, we shall be able to make ourselves more presentable to the world and, inch by inch, approach our heart's desire no matter what our individual aims may be. As we glance backward to the time when we entered as timid Freshmen amid the plaudits and encouragement of our fond parents and well-wishing friends, we recall only too well the imagined hardships and dilliculties which were about to be thrust unceremoniously upon us. Yet, in time, fear gave way to trust, and we finally settled down to hard work under the faithful guidance of our beloved teachers, who were, after all, our guardian angels in many respects, for it was to them that we entrusted all our problems and heartaches. And to them, and not to us, belongs the credit for our accomplishments today. They have labored with unceasing patience and fortitude through four long years-years which we know shall never be matched for the abundance of kindness and consideration which they so unstintingly gave to us. For the Catholic training which they instilled in us, day by day, we are deeply grateful, and for the mental preparation to go on-forward to successful Christian lives. Yes, it is altogether fitting that we pause now and glance backward and offer heart- felt thanks to our teachers for their painstaking efforts in equipping us with the spiritual and mental preparation to face the world unafraid of its problems, small or mighty, proud of our Catholic heritage. We earnestly pray that we may ever be a credit to those who gave their all to us. It is indeed sad that, all too soon, we must take our leave of them-those kindly and gracious teachers who have been ever ready and willing to aid us. We are confident in the knowledge, however, that our success and happiness in later life will be their success and happiness also. That will be their reward in this world, and in the next, they that instruct others into justice shall shine as stars for all eternity.

Religion is so bound up with the history and laws of our country that one cannot be disengaged from the other. In religion we Hnd the motivating principles for the observance of all laws: common belief in a Power mightier. than man. If not this, on what can a judge base his povver? Why must man conform to another's Wishes unless in deference to a, Divine command? Then too, -even as justice, domestic tranquillity dependslon religion, for on religion is based the indissolubility of marriage, the nucleus of the home, the obligation of Children to obey their parents.

Leadership in civic affairs is an admirable aim in the career of a good citizen. Iust what do we mean when we say a good citizen P A good citizen is an individual who loves his country and is always ready to serve, whether it is simply to help his neighbor, to serve in his community, or to uphold the rights of the country he holds so dear. To accomplish these things, a person must be upright and loyal to an ideal. Education is the source through which we realize that ideal, if the education is of the right type. First, we shall consider the definition of the Word education.', In the true sense of the word, education signifies the drawing out, or cultivation, of the powers or faculties in man. Its purpose is to develop the spiritual and mental abilities in such a way as to prepare the person for his future life in this world and, what is more im- portant, for his eternal life in the next. lt is impossible and dangerous to separate moral and religious education from purely intellectual education. Young people who are not accustomed to respecting God will be unable to bear the restraint of a virtuous life, and, never having learned the policy of self-control, they will be tempted to disturb the social order. However, by receiving a Catholic training, which unites physical, intellectual, religious, and moral education, and which has as a foundation divinely revealed truths, the fulhlling of social duties is insured and a spirit of law and order is adopted. One of the chief aims of Catholic teaching is respect for law. Students are taught, first, to respect the laws of God, secondly, to respect and to act in accordance with the laws of the state and nation. If a person does not obey. the laws of the Supreme Lawgiver, certainly he will not obey the laws of mere creatures. Order is Heavenis first law, and, as such, is emphasized in Catholic schools. The respect, therefore, for law and order taught in the Catholic schools furnishes the nation with honorable citizens. How dis- orderly and tumultuous must be the Red system of the Communists whose aim is to abolish all religious and moral training! t To develop an upright character, a person must have an ideal who possesses admirable qualities which he wishes to imitate. Young children are champion imi- tators. At home, they copy their parents and their older brothers and sisters. In school, they follow their teachers. A host of worthy ideals may be found in a Catholic school. The Sisters endeavor to inculcate in their pupils the virtues of Christ, His Blessed Mother, and the saints. By aiming high these children cannot fall low and, thereby, will possess an indisputable reputation of being ideal citizens. In many secular institutions of learning the predominant feature is the so-called worldly wisdomi' which in many eases really means deceit, selfishness, and dishonesty. This manner is, much to our regret, easily assumed but cannot be renounced so easily. ' The wisest preparation for good citizenship is the training of the will, that enables a man to uphold or condemn a social action or law on the grounds that it is fair or unfair, just or unjust, right or wrong, according to the law established by Our Lord. E521 f- '. - '., ... . .xg . I THE 1937 LAMB Q Will power is the force that rules man's entire life. If it is strengthened in youth, the man will be a powerful personage because a man is as strong as his will power. What the rapidly moving world of today needs is not a greater intellectual ad- vancement, but rather a better development of character. In public schools the emphasis is placed on the former while in Catholic institutions the latter is stressed. And rightly do the Catholic schools stress this point. In everyday business, yes, and even in politics, we see how character is placed before intelligence. One man may have a marvelous record as far as his ability goes but, if he has a questionable character, his position will be occupied by someone who may not be so shrewd as he but who has an ingenuous character. When educators slight character training they do a great injustice to children. What I have just said may lead you to believe that intellectual education is slighted in Catholic schools. But, no, how wrong I should be in letting an idea of that nature exist. The Catholic Church is extremely interested in the development of all forms of learning. This is shown by her attitude, not only now, but centuries ago, toward all the arts and sciences. However, the Church believes that teaching these subjects with- out blending in religion is wrong. It is her aim to foster studies with religion as a background, By so doing, the pupil learns the subjects and also learns the necessity for religion in relation to his studies. In this manner the child receives an intellectual and religious training which together make him a citizen of whom his country should be proud. The influence of a Catholic education does not end at graduation. Rather, it really shows its usefulness at this time, for then people come face to face with the wickedness and vices of the world. With the Catholic instruction they have received they prove better citizens than those who have received only an intellectual training. Each point which I have mentioned coincides with a really worth-while education, which is the stepping stone to laudable citizenship. George Washington, the ideal citizen, expressed this feeling when he said, Beware of the man who attempts to inculcate morality without religionf' Edna Grace Shephard - The Catholic Press A good book is a good friendf, These words must have been uttered in the true light of understanding, for a book can be the advancement of, or detriment to one's edu- cation. If a good book is read and enjoyed, the reader cannot help being elevated by the stimulating thought or imbued with a passionate desire to emulate its exemplary characters. If one is unfortunate enough to read a poor or even a bad book, he will im- mediately feel the effects of its moral poison. It will depress him and possibly even change his whole viewpoint of life. Since man is so strongly influenced by a book, we can all see how keen is his intellect and how forceful his powers of conscience. The precedent of all literature is the Bible, the Holy Word that has influenced men through the ages. Saint Thomas at Kempis, exquisite 'flmitation of Christ is the culmina- tion of fifteenth-century literature, which is characterized by beauty of expression. He has put forth the full artistry of mysticism, of which he was an exponent. We often l53l 5? - . i 2 vs nr Q tl 49 - l-1 in -1 5 i XT Y-fl - p .-, -3 . . gs lil?

What better lives can we emulate than those of the men and women who have fought and conquered what we are now fighting? The spiritual uplift of heart gleaned from these readings will make a lasting impression, and we cannot fail to be better for having gained this knowledge. However, we need not go back centuries to find prominent Catholic writers. We have them right here in our own modern times. In the realms of history, biography, and essay, we have Hilaire Belloc, Gilbert K. Chesterton, and Agnes Repplier. Among the prominent novels of Catholic principle are those by Robert Hugh Benson, Sigrid Undset, Owen Dudley, and Lucille Borden. Willa Cather, although not a Catholic, writes with Catholic feeling and charm. These books are unlike many best sellers which are actually indecent and unfit for any respectable reader. Let us resolve to read only the truly best sellers by the best authors. The Press in any form tends to make or break a man because of the powerful influence it exerts on his daily life. He depends so much on the papers that he accepts their contents as almost infallible. One must not be misled by the profane Press. In the Catholic newspapers, we obtain a Christian viewpoint of various situations and problems. Having a knowledge of both sides of the question, how can one's opinion be aught but unbiased? Having once decided upon which side to take, we can become better citizens by striving toward our ideals. For convenience and timesaving, the Catholic magazine is within the reach of all. To have truthful news in a compact form is an incentive to the average man. In pam- phlets, false doctrines are destroyed, good citizenship is urged, vices and grievances against family and social life are condemned, and patriotism is firmly upheld. Although we are reading Catholic literature and learning about Catholic ideals and principles, these are the fundamentals of patiotism. To strive for one is to achieve the other, for a good Catholic indeed should-and does-make the best citizen. A. Patricia McKenna Charity and Social Service Now there remain there three: Faith, Hope and Charity, but the greatest of these is Charity. -Saint Paul. Long ago, when Heaven's Omnipotent Hand created the world, the virtue of Charity was manifested. God showed it in the form of mercy when He permitted Adam and Eve to live after their sin. An unparalleled love for Heaven's heirs prompted His gift of a Redeemer. This twice-blessed virtue, as Shakespeare penned centuries later, that blesseth him that gives and him that takesf' was indelibly written on the hearts of men from the dawn of creation. Down through the ages of the Church and State, Charity has stood out, brilliant in its meaning, and never failing in its task as a guidepost to an eternal goal. The password to Heaven is Charity, and well it deserves this dignity, for although Faith is essential in attaining life everlasting, its strength is of no avail without Charity. Faith without good works is deadf' At the same time, how can one hope in God if Charity be lacking? A cup of cold water given in My Name will not go unrewarded, said Our Divine Lord. i E541 I THE 1937 LAWUB Q Bearing these points in mind, we should always try to attain this highest and most worthy means to destinyis end. Although this may seem almost an impossibility, its ultimate attainment is reasonably simplified by a glance into the sphere of those who have sacrificed all for the regeneration of this Christian ideal. It is with such a beautiful vision in view that men and women relinquish their claim on anything the world offers. No doubt, Religious see little enticement other than the peace of mind and happiness of soul which they now possess. However, worldly remuneration matters, for their entire being lives in the future-an eternal resting place beyond Heaven's gate. There are some unfortunates who are entirely dependent upon public charity. Boys and girls who are orphans must have a fair chance to become good citizens. Then, EOD, there are elderly men and women who, through no fault of their own, are forced to seek refuge in government charity homes. And yet one might think that a tremendous burden is placed upon a government. But the Church lightens this burden, for the orphans, the aged, the sick and the crippled, the blind, the deaf, and the dumb, even the wayward and the fallen-all find tender care and protection with her consecrated virgins, because the charity of Christ urges them to perform tasks which are often repellent to mere human nature. Again, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society is an organiza- tion which strives somewhat to relieve the government. Throughout the year its efforts are ceaseless, and they have proved to be a source of happiness to many poor families. During the years of childhood, there are many dangers to be overcome. The Catholic Big Brothers' and Big Sisters' societies aim to temper justice with charity and mercy. In this way, young offenders are frequently saved from a prison cell, they are morally born again. At present, the Catholic Protective Society is grappling with the problem of juvenile delinquency. This society has widened its influence by the establishment of Catholic Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and by initiating summer camps. The watchful mission of Charity continues. Wayward girls must be taken care of, and this is done by providing decent environment. The Houses of the Good Shepherd have proved to be a means of salvation to many young feminine hearts. War is waged continually, by hospitals against disease, by the Saint Vincent de Paul Society against poverty, and by the Church against sin. The magnitude of facts and figures of Catholic charities would astonish many. Their value is so great that it never could be realized, unless something should suddenly impede their activity. A well-known Catholic Society that has earned its rank among the most active is the National Catholic Welfare Council. This council was inaugurated to replace the National Catholic War Council which existed during the World War. It consists of Eve organized departments: Q11 Education, fzj Social Action, QQ Lay Organizations, Q45 Laws and Legislation, Qgj Publicity, Press, and Literature. Right here in one society there are five different channels through which anyone so inclined can work very effectively, and because of their immediate connection with a strong central govern- ing body, accomplishments are observed to a great advantage-that of good example. And yet, would you believe that some say that the Catholic Church is a hindrance to science in all its phases? Perhaps such talk can be blamed on ignorance, carelessness, or disinterest. The Catholic Church does as much to promulgate social science as the state charity institutions and the private philanthropic organizations combined. , Iosephine Moloney li 55 il X XN 'fr ,ls-an l 444-'f f'1 X XX .sa if Nc, .Lil-. ec.. .

A-'14 X W THE 1937 LAMB Q The Tercentenary of the Birth of a Black-Robed Messenger of Civilization RO DEO ET PATRIAI To whom can this quotation be more fittingly applied than to the father and founder of New France, Pere Marquette? This was his life- a beautiful life, spent in sacrifice and suffering, with those two ideals constantly before his mind. He carried out his duty as a missionary, because of his supreme love of God and his desire to serve France. Of all explorations in America, the most valuable was that of Pere Marquette, for not only did he explore and thus open up the Mississippi River to trade and further exploration, but he also spread good will among the Indians. Descended from a proud line of Marquettes long established in Laon, France, Iacques Marquette was born in this little citadel Iune 10, 1637, just one hundred fifty years before the birth of our Constitution. He received his early education in Nancyg later he studied in Iesuit schools at Pont-a-Mousson. Becoming a Iesuit, he cherished hopes of being sent to America as a missionary, and his dreams were realized in 1666. Simple mission work proved too dull for his active spirit, so when soon afterwards Ioliet was seeking a clerical associate for an expedition to explore the great riveru the missionary was overjoyed and proved him- self to be of more value than the young Frenchman had ever hoped. He was hardy, resolute, and proficient in the various Indian tongues. His most useful asset, however, was his ability to befriend the savages so easily and yet so charmingly. Everywhere he stopped, he gained immediate and lasting favor, which, of course, aided the expedition, since the Indians furnished them with able guides, provisions, ammunition, and advice of forthcoming tribes and waterways. His kindly reception at their villages may be described in the lines of Longfellow's Song of Hiawathawz Beautiful is the sun, O strangers, When you come so far to see us! All our town in peace awaits you, All our doors stand open for youj You :hall enter all our wigwarns, For the hearfs right hand we give you. The fruits of the journey were both material and spiritual. Besides exploring the Mississippi River from the Wisconsin to the Arkansas River, Pere Marquette instructed the Indians in the principles of patriotism. This patriotism, so important to the success of a country, may be defined as a feeling deep in the hearts of the inhabitants. It is an undying love of his country, a passion which aims to serve his country, either in defending it from invasion or in protecting its rights or maintaining its laws. His teach- ings inspired them with more trust in the white man, whom they had regarded here- tofore as a trespasser, and they became staunch supporters of the French in times of peace and war. A keen and ingenious mind was necessary to persuade the Indians that their cus- toms were wrong. This mind was supplied in the person of Pere Marquette. The Indian derived his greatest pleasure from cruelty. A warrior never considered himself triumph- ant until he saw his victim squirm in agony from the torture to which he was subjected. E561 . I I THE 1937 LAWUB Q Some tribes, in order to torment their captives further, seized the children of the opposing tribe and before the very eyes of their parents roasted and devoured them. With the presence of such cruelty it was almost an impossibility to create the love of a God contrary to their own. As Pere Marquette himself testified, they were far from the kingdom of God being above alll other nations addicted to lewdness and sacrifices, and other juggleriesf' It was equally difficult to induce them to allow their young to at- tend his mission schools where they were taught that they should not follow the example of their ancestors' cruel habits. Furthermore, these wild youngsters refused to sit quietly and be taught things in which they were totally disinterested. Yet the Black Robe approached them with such tenderness and friendliness that they became greatly attached to him. Again has our beloved writer of what may be styled an American epic expressed the spiritual mission of this zealous son of Ignatius: Then the Black-Robe chief, the prophet, Told his message to the people, Told the purport of his mission, Told them of the Virgin Mary, And her blessed Son, the Saviour, How in distant lands and ages He had lived on earth as we dog How he fasted, prayed, and labored: How the Iews, the tribe aeeursed, Moeked Him, scourged Him, crucified Himf How He rose from where they laid Him, Walked again with His disciples, And ascended into heaven. And the chiefs made answer, saying: We have listened to your message, We have heard your words of wisdom, We will think on what you tell us, It is well for us, Opbrothers, That you come so far to see us! The Illinois tribe sent a dispatch to Pere Marquette in his last days, begging him to return to their village and die among them. He consented, but when he realized that his final day was not far off he set out for Quebec to die among his fellow missionaries. However, he did not survive his journey but died on the lonely shore of a small stream, his eyes intently fixed upon the crucifix and his lips murmuring his last tender appeal to the Mother of God, Queen of the Apostles: Mater Dei, memento mei -a fitting end to crown the accomplishments of a saintly pioneer. Pere Marquette may justly be deemed a martyr because hard labor for his God and his country spent his health and energy, causing his death at the age of thirty-eight. Especially in this year, his three-hundredth natal anniversary, the heroic life and glorious achievements of this self-sacrificing priest should be reflected upon for true edification. America owes him enduring gratitude for his daring explorations and civilizing influence among untutored savages. Leanore Bergen ls7J ihlf 1' frHe'1Q37'LAmfB - g Catholicity Versus Communism i ECAUSE of insufficient knowledge and poisonous propaganda, one often hears intelligent Christians asking: 'AWhy does the Church combat Communism so Hercely when its principles seem to be basically Christian? Let us consider the distribution of wealth and the abolition of private property. Man has a natural right to ,own property and utilize maferials. Thenexistence of these gxarf uk ,i N '1 it W +I'-4 , RW , 4 ,, I, , 5 lil ill rights no one can deny. It follows logically that the Church cannot uphold that which destroys a natural right. . . , ' It is also a known fact that man is innately selfish. This .very selfishness causes man to' work for his property and for the materials he needs to support his family. Thus he elevates self. He is active. If wealth were distributed evenly man woiild re- ceive his share without working for it, he would be confused as to that which is rightfully his, and what he must do to obtain it. Chaos would result. Morals would degenerate and be lost, for there would be a spiritual and material retreat, through lack of order. Without order there can be no peace. Of course, one may argue that there have beenuviolent disorders and wars under non-Communistic regimes. These resulted, however, not from the existence of private property or from nondistribution of wealth, but from the erroneous ideas concerning them and the tactics used. Any sane-minded person knows that it is not possible to enjoy a Platois community. Liberty and happinessare gifts of God, so are wars and dis- orders His punishments. , Again, one may say that the Religious Life is fundamentally Communistic. Essentially, that statement is false. Communism advocates atheism, while God is the Supreme Object of the Religious Orders. Without God there can be no civilization, as is evidenced by the sad cases of Russia, Mexico, and Spain. However, the Religious Life is basically Communistic insofar as it calls for the renouncing of wealth, provides for sharing things in common and for living together. But the hallowed sphere of the Religious Life is spiritual Communism, it is voluntary and nonobligatory. It does not condemn private property as a measure necessary for salvation. . Since Communism usurps man's natural rights, leads to degeneration, and pro- hibits the worship of God, it is safe to affirm that Communism is the very antithesis of Catholicity.

Nfl' To discover its conception, it is not sufficient to go IW ' 'lf v ia back over the one hundred and fifty years of its existence, li. 111 nw, . . . . . ,, ll . but six thousand years, 1.e., to the beginning of time. A MW? 7 ' Quay' constitution is, in its final analysis, a formal expression of W if - .sc - adherence to that which in modern times has been called .: L' the higher law, and which in ancient times was called the I l g-,Eu vw - natural lawf,-Beck. We can transcend the ages and discern I I I l ' f that higher law. Cicero defines it as something which was L.-3 i I never written and which we are never tau ht which we P - - 1 - ., . . . . g A never learn by reading, but which was drawn by nature f f1iX f f 'tself ' N if 1 ' . . . . xg The doctrine of natural law was primarily important in Greece, the Roman jurists recognized it in their jus naturalevg it became of political importance in the Middle Ages, and in the eighteenth century Encyclopedists made it the basis of their political philosophy and, therefore, precipitated not only the French Revolution but also the revolt of the American colonies against their mother country. If we concentrate on the circumstances which surrounded our forefathers in this country, we shall realize how this higher law was recognized and understand their in- herent spirit of independence. Their living conditions forced them to become self- dependent and, consequently, liberty-loving. Their remoteness from their ruling body only added to their spirit of self-reliance. Their charters and governments from the beginning tended toward a popular form of government. Is this not evident in the Mayflower Compact, the House of Burgesses, the Fundamental Orders, and the town meeting? Thus it was that this higher law, coupled with the democratic character of the inhabitants of the New World, became the basis for the formation of the Constitution. This spirit of independence was also visible in the colony as a unit. Each settlement was remote from the other and each had its own form of government, customs, industries, systems of education, and so forth. Realization, for the first time, of the necessity of a union between them arose when the French and Indian forces were harassing individual colonies. A successful convention was held in New England in 1643 for the purpose of consolidating to ward off these attacks. Again, in 1754, a convention was held in Albany to amend political differences be- tween England and America. A plan of union was proposed by Benjamin Franklin but the time was not ripe for the adoption of a unified government. The tyrannical rule of England brought about the final realization that association was absolutely necessary for existence. Later on, at the same convention at which the Declaration of Independence was f60l . f .. - ,,i Y I THE 1937 LAWUB vi signed, a committee under Iohn Dickinson was appointed to draw up some form of league of friendship among the colonies. As a result, the Articles of Confederation were instituted. However, it was not until 1781 that they were ratified. At the terminationpof the Revolutionary War the nation was on the verge of anarchy, the colonies were too happy in their new unrestraint to subject to another yoke. Yet there existed conditions demanding a central force for remedy. The Articles of Confederation had absolutely no faculty to amend these matters. Under them, Congress, unable to raise money and incapable of regulating commerce, lacked power to enforce any law it might legislate. . At the instigation of Virginia a convention was called in 1786 at Annapolis to repair these deficiencies. However, as only five states responded, Congress called another convention to be held at Philadelphia, the second Monday in May 1787, for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. At this most important of all conventions, over which Washington was chosen to preside, that ingenious piece of work was born-the Constitution. This convention lasted over a period of four months, during which, at one time or another, fifty-five representatives were present. Virginia, through Governor Randolph, proposed a plan with the provision for three departments. It was this plan that finally overthrew the Articles and became the Constitution. Before complete acceptance, how- ever, compromises had to be effected in regard to the presidency, representation, and slavery. Even after the concessions were made, not all were completely satisfied, but realizing the expediency of some form of government, the Constitution was signed by all but sixteen of the delegates. The day after the adjournment of the convention a copy of the Constitution was given in the Pennsylvania Packeti' and the Daily Advertisern, indicating the contemporary opinion as to the importance of the fruits of this conven- tion. It was to be submitted to the states for sanction and would become effective with the ninth state's ratification. Delaware was the first to confirm it and did so unanimously. Eventually, all the states gave their consent, Rhode Island being the last in 1790. From that day to this, the United States of America have been governed expertly under this golden meansf, We are indeed indebted to the foresight of those great makers who inserted those phrases into the Constitution in which are imbedded the implied powers and the possibility of amending the Constitution, Crises in national affairs have time and time again motivated Presidents to rely upon their implied powers, The importance of the Supreme Court in the development of the Constitution cannot be overestimated. The constitution speaks of the age in which it was written, more than a century ago. That court expounds it in the language of its own age, holding fast to the old words and powers, but expanding them to keep paxce with the expansion of our country, our people, our enterprises, industries, and civilization. ,It was and is plausible that amendments would be needed to keep harmony with anever-progressive nation such as ours. In spite of the hundred and fifty years which have passed since the signing of the Constitution, only eleven amendments of the original text-considering the Bill of Rights as virtually a part-have been effected. Isn't this in sharp contrast to the difficulties of other countries? In conclusion, let me add, that of all the constitutions that ever did or ever will exist, ours is the best for reason of this quality-adaptability. - Marguerite Ryan X611 YPXQSL XXX 7 2 , W 1 I , l l ,5 f 6 Z f 9 f IJ V 1 , c 4' 4 , 2 4 y ff 2 1 ,f 2 1 f X gi 4 f 1 w Y ,' if El if QL iff lm!

His magnanimity, his self-sacrifice, and his interest in national affairs have justified this honor. He was born in 1733 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, where his father, Daniel, an Irish immigrant, had become a merchant and married Eleanor Darnall. Like his renowned brother Iohn, America's first archbishop, he received an excellent education in Europe. On his return he lived as a country gentleman of the day. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, Daniel Carroll was one of the hrst to espouse the cause of Liberty by subscribing large amounts of money. Tireless in civic activities, he led every notable enterprise. When the United States declared their independence, Daniel Carroll became a member of the first governing body, the Continental Congress. Later, when a more efficient government was required, he, as a delegate from Maryland, helped to draft the Constitution. In reference to this monumental achievement, Daniel Carroll wrote in a public letter: lf there are errors it should be remembered that the seeds of reformation are sown in the work itself and the concurrence of two-thirds of the Congress may at any time introduce alterations and amendments. Regarding it then in every point of view with a candid and disinterested mind, l am bold to assert that it is the best form of government which has ever been offered to the World. Another interesting document to which the name of Daniel Carroll is aliixed, is a congratulatory address signed by three other prominent patriotic laymen, representing l52l ,Q I THE IQ37 LAfMfB Q the Catholics of the United States, to George Washington on his election to the Presidency. In 1784 Daniel Carroll was appointed to lay out a site for the Nationls Capital. He advocated the present site of Washington and he contributed a valuable tract of land upon which the halls of Congress now stand. He is deservedly named among the co- founders of Washington. After its foundation he became an administrator of that city and served longer and with more popular acclaim than any other of his associates. Distinguished as a patriarchal Hgure, he died in 1829. In the annals of American history, Daniel Carroll is a name of which the Catholic Church may be justly proud. Alfred Donohue . Thomas Fitzsimons Another member of the Constitutional Convention deserving honor equal to that accorded Daniel Carroll is Thomas Fitzsimons. These two represent the only Catholic signers of that guarantee of government reverenced by every true American. Thomas Fitzsimons was born of Irish parents in their native land in the year 1741. Little is known of his early life and still less of his actual arrival into America. The earliest account of his presence in our beloved country may be dated back to 1758. When protest arose against the Mother Nation Mr Fitzsimons was at the conference held in Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia. As we know, from this meeting grew the important Continental Congress, of which he was a member. His election to the position of provincial deputy was the first instance of a Catholic holding a public office in Pennsylvania. When war was declared with England he organized a company of militia and took part in the Trenton Campaign in New Iersey. At the termination of this service, he once more returned to Philadelphia, to resume his profession as a merchant in order to help provide for the needs of the army until the end of the war. , On November 12, 1782 he represented the people of Philadelphia in his election to the Congress of the Old Confederacy. At the Convention of 1787, which framed the Constitution of the United States, Thomas Fitzsimons was an advocate of limited suffrage only for freeholders. Under this Constitution he was elected to Congress for three consecutive terms. In politics Thomas Fitzsimons was an ardent Federalist, vigorously upholding the ideas put forth by such brilliant, able men as Alexander Hamilton and Iohn Adams. From the records of Congress we learn that he was among the foremost, if not the very first, to advocate the fundamental principles of a protective tariff system to help American industries. On the inauguration of George Washington to the presidency of the United States, Thomas Fitzsimons, with Daniel Carroll, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and Dominic Lynch of New York, signed the address of congratulation presented to him by the Catholics of the Country. Among the founders of Georgetown College, Thomas Fitz- simons was most prominent and was considered during the long span of years, through which he lived, one of the most enlightened merchants in the United States. On all questions connected with commerce and Finance his advice was always sought and regarded with respect in the laying of the foundation of the commercial prosperity of our model Republic. He died in Philadelphia, August 26, 1811. American Catholics can be proud of the gallant and self-respecting personage Thomas Fitzsimons proved himself to be-ever helpful and watchful of the opportunities presented to him to serve his country. Although the representation of the Catholic Faith at the Constitutional Convention was in the minority, we can never fail to recognize the fact that while it lacked in num- bers, it triumphed in character.

C. This historical document, which will be cherished by Americans forever, is the Declara- tion of Independence. Courage was needed to sign such a document, since England considered it a treasonable act, and to have one's name even verbally linked with the Declaration might be punishable by death. One signature is, however, particularly prominent. This signer affixed not only his name but also his place of residence so that he would not be confused with anyone else in the event of trouble from his act. The signature reads Charles Carroll of Carrolltonf' This eminent Catholic statesman, cousin to Americaas Hrst bishop, traces his descent from the persecuted Catholics who received grants of land from Lord Baltimore. He was born at Annapolis, Maryland, September 19, 1737, and received his early education under the Iesuits in Bohemia, Maryland. Later he attended their college at St. Omer in French Flanders. In 1753 he went to Bourges to study civil law. Upon his return to America in 1765 he was given the estate of Carrollton in Fred- erick County, Maryland. Nine years later he was elected to the colonial conventions from E641 I THE 1937 L.Af7b'CfB 'H Anne Arundel County and Annapolis. For a period of twenty-seven years he rendered important public service in behalf of the colonial and general governments. Early in 1776 the Continental Congress appointed Carroll one of the committee of three to visit Canada to secure the alliance of the Canadians in the coming struggle for independence. Through no fault of the committee, however, the mission was a failure. Charles Carrollis next step in political advancement was membership in the Con- tinental Congress. As the wealthiest man in the colonies, and the first Catholic to take part in an American council, he signed the Declaration of Independence, thereby pledg- ing his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor to the success of the Revolution. For his work in this struggle, as well as in the critical period which immediately followed, he received the warm praise of his contemporaries, including the Father of Our Country. One year later he helped draw up the constitution of the state of Maryland. He served three years in the United States Senate and twenty-three years in that of Maryland. When Congress passed a law making it ineligible to hold office in both state and central governments, Carroll resigned his position in Congress to become president of the Maryland Senate. After two terms in this office he became a leader of the Federalist Party. As a Federalist, Carroll naturally favored the tariff, the financial measures of Hamilton, and the strengthening of the national government. From the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence for a period of fifty-six years he watched with keen interest the progress of American affairs and unceasingly labored for the advancement of the Republic. Eloquent homage was paid to Charles Carroll in an address delivered by Daniel Webster, at Faneuil Hall, Boston, in I826 on the occasion of civic tribute to Thomas jefferson and Iohn Adams, then recently deceased. Carroll was then the last of the signers. Webster compared him to a venerable oak, standing alone on the plain, hailed him as a fortunate and distinguished patriot, and exhorted his hearers to let him know that while we honor the dead we do not forget the living, and that there is not a heart here which does not fervently pray that Heaven may yet keep him back from the society of his departed companions. After thirty years of retirement Carroll died at Doughoregan Manor, Maryland, in 1832. Among his last words were: I have lived to my ninety-sixth year, I have enjoyed continued health, I have been blessed with great wealth, property and most of the good things which the world can bestow, public approbation, applause, but what I now look back on with greatest satisfaction to myself is that I have practised the duties of my religion. This year marks the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Carroll. A joint resolution was passed by the United States Senate last Iune appropriating 512,500 for a fitting celebration of this anniversary. This act confirms the esteem in which he has always been held. Andrew Iackson, as President of the United States, paid the following tribute to the memory of Charles Carroll: No one estimated higher than I his claims, whilst living, upon the gratitude and love of his country, none will cherish more sacredly his memory now that he is taken from us by the Great Disposer of the affairs of the world. Truly no other Catholic layman reached the height of public service and patriotism as did Charles Carroll of Carrollton.

After he had delivered America from the clutches of her tyrannical mother, the valiant soldier retired to his home in Mount Vernon. Although he lived a quiet, obscure life, he did not lose interest in the country he had saved. He wrote numerous letters to his friends revealing his feel- ings toward governmental affairs. ln one letter he wrote: The confederation appears to me to be little more than a shadow without the substance, and Congress a nugatory body, their ordinances being little attended to. He was disgusted at the uprisings in Massachusetts, at the tariff barriers between the states, and at the demand for a dictator. He saw each state striving to become independent of the weak national government. Indeed, it seemed that as a reward for his services he received the picture of a country incapable of governing itselfg a country, behaving like a ship without a pilot, about to be wrecked on the rocks of the Articles of Confederation. However, America was not to remain without a pilot long, for our illustrious hero took control of the vessel and steered it safely to smooth waters. Washington was deeply interested in the development of the western lands and, for this reason, desired to secure freedom of transportation along the Potomac River. Under his leadership, the states of Virginia and Maryland were persuaded to appoint commissioners to meet at a conference to be held at Mount Vernon in 1785. They not only drafted an agreement between the two states concerning commerce along this river, but also recommended the thirteen states to send delegates to a convention to be held at Annapolis, Maryland, in September 1786 to consider improvement in the means of commerce, and the possibility of uniform duties on that commerce. At the appointed time, only five delegates appeared, being too few in number to accomplish their pur- pose, they decided to issue another call to all states to send representatives to a con- vention to be held in Philadelphia on the second Monday in May of the following year for the sole purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. At the head of its delegation, Virginia placed her beloved son, George Washington. At this time he was fifty-five years old, and his conduct of the war and his prompt E661 1' TH:-3 1937 LAMB Q retirement after it had made him a public idol. Although reluctant at first, he finally accepted the appointment. On May 9 he set out from his home and reached Phila- delphia four days later. Upon his arrival, church bells were rung, and the people streamed forth to meet him. This was the affectionate greeting paid by the simple folk of the then small town of Philadelphia to the men whose very presence seemed to command respect and reverence. His first act was to visit the aged Dr. Franklin. As seems fitting, these two men were the most eminent at the convention. The next day, which was the second Monday in May, very few delegates had arrived, and the convention could not be held. One day, while still waiting for the assembly to meet, Washington said to a group of delegates who were discussing the nature of the task which they were about to undertake, It is too probable that no plan that we pro- pose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful confiict is to be sustained. lf, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and just can repair. The event is in the hand of Godf' It was in this spirit that the personnel finally convened on Friday, May 25, 1787. The meetings were held in the State House in the room called Independence Hall. The opening of this convention was the dawn of a new day after the years of cheerless, dark, cloudy nights. The first duty was to appoint a presiding officer. Robert Morris on behalf of the Pennsylvania delegation formally nominated George Washington for president. He was unanimously elected. Thus he began his task of piloting the ship, America After thanking the members for the honor they had conferred upon him, he proposed the choosing of a secretary. Major William Iackson received the office. The next duty of the delegates was to adopt rules. Outstanding among these was the provision for secrecy. No outsiders were admitted, it was agreed that no official record of happenings should be made except a statement of matters actually presented for vote and the number of votes cast. The rule of secrecy was enlarged by the unwritten understanding that even after the work of the convention was completed, no hint of its proceedings were to be made during the lives of any of its members. At the close of the convention, its secretary, at the president's orders, carefully burned every record, except the minutes which were put into Washington's custody. For all that we do know of the convention we have to thank Iames Madison. He kept a record of what took place each day of its existence. It was not until after his death that the government bought these records from his wife. Were it not for Madison, we would know none of the proceedings of the great Constitutional Convention. The delegates soon found it impossible to establish a satisfactory form of govern- ment by revising the Articles. Therefore, a few of them were retained, but most of them were thrown aside and a new plan of government was devised. This new plan was called the Constitution of the United States of America. The main desire of the representatives was a strong central government. They agreed that such a government should be set up with the power to do many things, some of which are: to pay ofi the debt, maintain an army and navy, tax the people in all states, regulate commerce among the states and with other countries. These and other problems were settled peaceably. However, two serious conflicts arose. The first was be- tween the large and small states. The large states insisted that representatives to Con- gress should be elected according to the number of inhabitants or to wealth. They had both the largest population and the greatest wealth. But the small states would not consent to this. They insisted upon equal representation. During this conflict, Wash- ington wrote: I almost despair of seeing a favorable issue to the proceedings of E671 i r l I l i . . . ig . 4-' Y' .

At the time when the convention' 5, j , Y seemed, to be on the verge of breaking up, indeed, at the crisis, he nodded to Franklin, j who stoodiup and. propqsed .a three day-Ts recess in order that each delegate should I, 5 talk over his objections with his opponent. At the end of-the, three days, the states were more willing to work togetherl A compromise was reached which stated that Con- -'gress should be composed of two Houses: a Senate, in which each state had two .. ' 4 ,rrf n it f members, and a House of Representatives, in which membership was determined ac- cording to population, and that all revenue bills were to originate in the House. By F the skillful diplomacy of Washington and Franklin the convention was able to con- ' tinue. The other conllict arose between the manufacturing Nor'th and the agricultural South. Each section had its respective problems, and each opposed the other's plans. Nevertheless, satisfactory concessions were made. The Northern states were granted their demand that Congress should regulate all trade, while the Southern states were per- mitted to count three-fifths of their slaves in determining the number of representatives i for Congress. Importation of slaves was to be permitted until 1808, and runaway slaves were to be returned to their masters. The article by which these two major disputes was settled is known as the 'Great Compromise. Other important questions discussed and adjusted werezi the executive department, implied powers, the method of amending the Constitution, the term and powers of the President, the judicial de- partment, and the system of checks and balances. ' In all these questions, Washington, Gloryls Unspoiled Son, made no comment, but his very presence among the delegates was a great inlluence upon them. Although some members of the convention made over one hundred speeches, the briefest, yet most eloquent, speech was delivered by the silent president of the convention when he took his pen, with which he, as president, was to be the first to sign the new docu- ment of American democracy. He said: Should the States reject this excellent Con- stitution, the probability is that an opportunity will never again offer to cancel another in peace,--the next will be drawn in bloodf, This speech was the first and last the great leader of a great nation made during the four months of the convention. Truly has Iames Russell Lowell written of him, ' Our children shall behold his fame, 1 The kindly, earnest, brave, foreseeing rnan, Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not blame, i , New birth of our new soil, the first American. . E On September 17, 1787 the convention was closed and the Constitution was submitted to the states for ratification. No, George Washington, the states did not reject your excellent Constitution. Your Constitutionn it may be rightly called, for without your hand guiding our country to safety, the states would have no Constitution to accept or reject. The immortal insignia of liberty and democracy that you have given us hash stood the test of one hundred and fifty years. For this, George Washington, we thank you, and reverently acclaim you, Father of Our Country. - u A ' K Edna Grace Shephard I631 Q I CTI ITIE ., -N 'Rb' '12,----v-J-i'N-., .- 2:-' 4, is as. .R -1 -El il. ...if xr XX-ii,'21.L4-'C' EEP- J ., fi -vi ., -,,., , ..

Ii i 'THE 1937 LAWUB Q 1 It W -at rw + . . j f Catholic Action N THE history of every organization, whether it be divinely ordained or not, there must be, in order to vitalize its influence, a living force-a potent power-a moving factor-that must of necessity render effective those activities within its scope. Within recent years the ranks of the divinely ordained Church have become more and more f f energized and strengthened by such a living force. This power, ordained by the Vicar of Christ, has extended to every known corner of the earth, effecting an extended co-operation between laity and Hierarchy. This participation of the laity in the Apostolate of the Hierarchy is known as Catholic Action. To define such a movement broadly and interpretively is a task re- quiring the space of several volumes-for an activity that includes millions of partici- pants and has results numbered in the thousands can scarcely be concisely and briefly defined. However, the reason for the definition of Catholic Action is of little moment or consequence when compared with the reason and necessity for Catholic Action itself. But what are these reasons? Perhaps the greatest of all is contained in the words of the Divine Saviour Himself: A'Going, therefore, teach ye all nationsi'-for this is the essence of the laity's participation, to teach by example and concerted action the Truths of all Catholicity. In keeping with this the Holy Father adds, and kindly teach. These are reasons enough--the words of the Prince of Peace and His earthly Vicar. Of them- selves, these words sanctify the new mission and assure it of eventual success. But on closer consideration Catholic Action is of a worldly and practical value, it is, in a sense, a modern crusade-a crusade against the forces of political and civil evil which have as their purpose the destruction of the Holy Word. Subversive and antagonistic forces are the dire enemies of our concerted march upon the strongly fortified citadel of national atheism. The rise of the utilitarian state has necessitated Catholic Action! lt is the most opportune of all the religiously inspired movements throughout the Church-it stands forth as the bulwark of our modern democracies. Catholic Action stands in this position as the mediator between civil and religious thought. lt binds up the destructive and anti-Christian thought into bundles and con- signs them to the Hames of reason, where they are destroyed and turned to useless ashes. It has always kept before it in its work the supreme ideal of the Catholic Church- Salus animarum suprema lex lThe saving of souls is the supreme lawl and it has never deviated from this principle for a single instant. It is this ability to coalesce the spiritual and temporal forces of Catholicity that have rendered it so effective. lt has been made manifest many times that the social and political evils extant in the world have been closely allied with the spiritual evils. Did not Christ Himself treat those about Him, even the civil authorities, as components of both the physical and the spiritual order? Has it not been the policy of Holy Mother Church to treat with empires as composed of the souls of men? It is true that the forms which Catholic Action may take are legion, but always it strives for the active and successful partici- patiion on the Hierarchical Apostolate-the mission for the spiritual and social salvation of mankind. Therein, to its greater and eternal glory, lies the intrinsic truth and beauty of Catholic Action-moderator of the spiritual and temporal welfare of all men! Dorothea Roche l70l CC -..

Its acceptance necessitates a reversal of the trend in man's philosophy-the dissemination of the Catholic ideal. This was the aim of Pope Pius XI when he issued his encyclical on Catholic Action. The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary. long in existence. was immediately incorporated in this larger complex as a distinctive unit. The various activities were intensified in accordance with the Holy Father's wishes, enabling the Sodalists to par- ticipate in the valiant struggle of the hierarchy against thc evils existing in the world. To aid the Sodalities in their splendid purpose, Schools of Catholic Action are held annually. Representatives from each Sodality attend these conventions and are instructed in Catholic leadership by the zealous Iesuits, Father Lord, Father Lyons, Father Le Hutfe and their many assistants. As a result of the inspirational sermons given by these kind directors. the -representatives are imbued with Christian ideals, and they in turn inoculate the members of their individual Sodalities with an ardent desire to serve Christ with true Christian fervor. Four members of our school were chosen for this Convention and it was our good fortune to attend these lectures and bring home with us novel ideas and a renewed spirit. Our Sodality could best be described in the lines of the song composed by Father Lord, S. I. for the Sodalities of the country: uAn army of youth flying the standards of truth. We're fighting for Christ the Lord. Heads lifted high: Catholic Action our cry, And the Cross our only sword. Ma1'gue1'1'te 14.

' XY, Mission Club OFFICTERS President GENEVIEVE NEY Secretary VERONICA TOWLE ' I 'O HELP in Christ's mission helds, is indeed a great work. What greater service could we oiler than to help the less fortunate? The students of St. Agnes, certainly have always displayed a sacrihcing spirit when called upon to help the needy. Ten months of the year, they make generous contributions, and in this way brighten the lives of some unfortunates in Puerto Rico. Great work was done in the past year. Many thousands of stamps were iollected and sent to the priests and Sisters who work for the salvation of souls. Christmas cards, and other holy cards, tiny pieces of ribbon and colored paper were collected, and from these things, lovely book marks and all sorts of fancy holy pictures viere created to make happy the heart of some boy or girl. One of the most important features was the Mission Exhibition held in April, at which some of these novelties were sold. Quilts were made from sample materials supplied by the students. A hand-made bedspread of nearly a thousand circles was made by Genevieve Ney, Veronica Towle, and Alice Matthews, who worked indefatigably for almost a year to accomplish this feat. Our greatest work each year, perhaps, is the Bundle Drive held immediately before Christmas. Clothes, games of all kinds, beautifully dressed dolls of various sizes and colors, and gaily colored toys of every description are collected and sent to the missions. lt is by this mission work that we endeavor to spread good cheer, happiness, and reap the blessing of Christ, who has said, 'LWhatsoever ye shall do to the least of these, My little ones, ye shall do unto Mef, ,-ffzselma I.

This year, at the request of the student body, a brass band consisting of twenty-five members has been organized. Our Symphonic Orchestra has gained fame for St. Agnes' by many Fine ren- ditions. Ever foremost in our delightful remembrances is thc concert given to the Religious Teachers of the Diocese of Brooklyn in Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School last spring, and later, that given to the aged inmates of Our Lady of Consolation Home in Amityville. The custom of annually entertaining this appreciative audience has become a tradition of St. Agnes'. lf the band be prosperous, a new and larger orjhestra will be formed and the music banner of St. Agnes will be emblazoned with brighter glory.

Its origin lies in the Iunior room where the present Senior class decided to form a glee club. This worthy move was begun with the Writing of a school song. By the end of the year, the association, directed by Marjorie Lent, proved a successful undertaking. In September, the Glee Club was open for new members. However, membership was restricted to sixty in order to divide the parts in a suitable fashion-i.e., fifteen altos, Hfteen tenors, and thirty sopranos. The Glee Club has participated in various entertainments and social gatherings of the school. Outstanding among these was the Mothers and Daughters Rally held in February. Such is the beginning of what we hope will be a lasting organization. Although We shall all at one time or another be among the vast group of Alumni, we shall continue to sing the praises of our Alma Mater, and our life-long slogan will be Of Thee I Sing. Edna Grace Shephard l74l T THE 1937 LATJUB Q Latin Club OFFICERS Q President MARIORIE KENNEDY Vice-President CECILE MACKINSON Secretary ELEANOR MAHER Chairman KATHRYN MCMAHON ROM time immemorial Latin, with its Gallic wars and tales of Cicero, has been the Waterloo of High School Students. However, on theitwenty-First of October, 1936, all this was altered, for St. Agnes pupils at least. On that day a new organization, the Latin Club, was initiated into the curriculum. Before the members of this club a definite goal has been placed: to inspire the Latin students to greater effort and to foster a love for all that pertains to the Latin language and its study. An appropriate motto, Labor omnia vincit has been chosen, which aids each pupil in remembering that Work conquers all. Besides the major ollicers there is a committee whose duty is the organization of a program that will make the second Thursday of every month both entertaining and educational to the Latin students. This program consists of games, lively playlets, inter- esting research, and other items pertinent to Latin speech. Through the medium of the organization Latin pupils are acquiring a knowledge not only of the inanimate, disinteresting side of the language, but also of its classical and entertaining history. It is our sincere wish that this infant club may wax strong and grow steadily until it becomes one of the leaders of St. Agnes Academy.

Not the least of these was the French club-Le Cercle Francais- which has been in existence for the past twelve years. This club meets weekly in the regular class period, and is a source of interest and education to all the members. The main purpose of any language club is to stimulate a love for and interest in the language specified. The French Club is striving to accomplish just this. The beauty of the French language and the manner in which it may be correctly spoken come to the full attention of the students at each meeting. To some this might sound dull and uninteresting, but there are methods, too numerous to mention, of presenting this in- struction in an amusing, thoroughly interesting manner. Dialogues, poems, monologues, plays, maps, songs, and selections from French books comprise each program. The plays are prepared voluntarily by the club members, and every Friday, the day of the weekly meeting, the result of their efforts is presented for a twofold purpose-to amuse and to educate their fellow-members. In this manner, their French vocabulary is increased, correct grammar is learned, and an easy, speedy manner of speaking French is gradually acquired. The French students range from the 1A or beginners, class to the 3B students who have successfully passed two and one half years of French. Individual oflicers are elected in each class to supervise the weekly meeting.

The meetings take place bi-monthly on Thursday afternoons from two- fifteen to three o'clock. They are opened with a prayer, salute to the flag, and the singing of the national anthem, under the leadership of the president. The secretary then calls the roll and reads the minutes. From that point, the program chairman conducts the meeting. He presents the afternoons entertainment, which generally consists of monologues, songs, plays, dances, and games. The adiourning of the meeting by no means ends the afternoon's activities, for there is singing of popular Spanish songs for those who wish to remain. The dual object of this organization is to promote an understanding of this beautiful language and to foster good-will for our Hispanic neighbors. The grammar learned in the classroom is applied to practical conversation which the club members Hnd very enjoyable. This language is one which receives the high regard of its students because of the facility with which it may be learned and because of the fact that it lives- ever-animated and gratifying. The success of this club has guided its members toward the cultivation of a deeper knowledge and appreciation of this-the language of the gods.

Under the able leadership of Captain Nancy Moore the team has progressed remarkably. Her team and its members have given it admirable support. Meetings were held regularly on Mondays at 2:15. The attendance at practice was pleasing and encouraging to those who had labored so arduously in its foundation. The team wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the members of the Student Council for the support it has given the club in its activities. lt is the fond hope of the organizers of this, one of the most essential of extra-curricular activities, that it shall grow and prosper in the years to come. Basketball, or in fact, any other athletic game does much in fostering good sportsmanship, a thing much needed in facing the trials of life. For this reason St. Agnes should be proud to say that the graduates from her halls are sound both in mind and body. ,V The following are deserving of special mention because of their untiring labor fort the advancement of the team: Captain Nancy Moore, Marguerite Fallon, Annette Kemper, Genevieve Ney, Ioan MacMillan, Veronica Towle, Margaret Grace, Margie Elberfeld, Katherine Butler, Anita Alymer, Peggy Moore, Helen Schultz, Morine Groh, Rita McNally, Margaret Kelly, Lorraine Bishop, Katherine Spillane, and Mary Carney. At the assembly of April, 1937, letters were awarded to the deserving members of the team. Marguerite Fallon E781 T THE 1937 LAUBUB Q Boots and Saddle HERE is no other organization in St. Agnes' School that has made more progress than our Riding Club. lts success is due wholly to the splendid supervision of its founder-Madame Le Brun, the capable management of its president-Dorothy Guerin, and the co-operation of the able and willing instructors at Scanlons, Riding Academy. There are two divisions in the club: the beginners, who meet on Thursday and the advanced, who assemble the following day. All its members derive a two-fold benefit: first, the helpful exercise that riding affords, and second, the enjoyment the members receive from their participation in this outdoor sport. The Riding Club is preparing for an exhibition which will enable interested spectators to understand and fully appreciate the splendid progress it has made in the past year. Each equestrienne will display her talent in this healthful and vigorous sport, and the best performers will receive ribbons according to their ability to ride. Each year the club has a demonstration, but they hope to make this one the Finest ever given in our school. We all hope that this favorite organization will continue to attract future students of St. Agnes Academy. Eileen Maloney l79l f inivt i iitnog 9 A if ir ft f in in-s 4 xv! f ' isis 'P . .

Because of the lateness of the season, the club made little progress but in September '36, it began its program in full swing. The members were at first divided into two parts: the beginners and advanced. The former were taught the rudiments of the game while the latter enjoyed matches at nearby courts. After learning the fundamentals of the sport, the beginners then took to the courts to execute their knowledge-probably fondly nursing hopes of being Wills or Iacobs. When the season allows it, the game is played on courts near school. In the winter months, those who desire, play on indoor clay courts. These are exceptionally good and allow a hard, fast game which is thoroughly enjoyed by all. For many, the club is a medium for learning the fast sport while for others it is the best way for improving one's game. Both groups have, we trust, accomplished their respective ends. This being the initial year of the Tennis Club, little can be said in the way of tournaments or competition with other schools. However, the club's introduction having been made, it is up to its future members to bring honor to this young organization. A.

Monthly prizes are offered for the best pictures submitted. Snaps from here, there, and everywhere are entered and judges Find it a difficult task to choose the winners. Some of the group pictures bring out the humorous side of school days. Mr. Iudd of Rockville Centre has very kindly offered to give a talk on the taking and developing of pictures. As an added treat for Camera Club members he has pro- posed our watching step by step, the work involved in printing and developing pictures in his studio.

We looked forward to the formation of the Skating Club with high hopes and great expectations, and we were not disappointed. The Skating Club means to us a place where old friends meet and new friends are made. This popular club has developed rapidly into an ever-increasing group of skating enthusiasts. Racing through the brisk afternoon or sailing gaily along the lake, we are ever conscious of the thrill that this energetic, fast-moving sport affords us. Meetings are held twice a month and they are really socials where members graciously consent to sing and dance. Our business meetings, too, are a source of pleasure for we are constantly planning to do bigger and better things. We must keep looking ahead lest we fall, for skates, like our passions, must be managed or they will run away with us. We of the Skating Club wish to take this opportunity to thank the graduating class of Iune ,37 for their whole-hearted co-operation. We wish them continued happi- ness and true success. Helen Devlin E321 T Blue and Gold Meet HE Athletic Association presented its initial indoor meet on Friday evening, Febru- ary 12, 1937, in the school auditorium. The bleacher-lined hall was crowded with friends and relatives of the participants, who enacted an excellent performance. The program was planned and supervised by Madame Le Brun, the gym instructress, and Marjorie Lent, who was general chairman. Each team provided an original entrance, which was both colorful and amusing. The Gold Pageant was a representation of old Manhattan, Sidewalks of New Yorkfl The Blue's entrance, for which the judges awarded them first place, was a unique version of an Alabama Barbecue. Throughout the entire evening, the rival teams kept the hall echoing with cheers and songs, banners waved, and a spirit of great excitement prevailed. There were few spills and many uthrillsn as the teams Hasbed home to victory. The events included relay dashes, an obstacle race, a balloon race, the ever popular chop-sueyn race, the three-legged race, a tug-of-war, and numerous other contests. Amid the cheers and shouts of the spectators, the Gold Team, captained by Marguerite Fallon, won a hard-earned victory over the Blue Team, led by Nancy Moore. The score was SI to 47. This was accepted by the Blues in good spirit, in spite of the keen competition. On Friday evening, February 5, the two teams presented a Mothers' and Daughters, Rally as a preliminary to the event itself. The mothers of the team members were enter- tained by their daughters. The evening was a decided social success. We are pleased at this time to thank Miss Olivia Dunican and Mr. Edward Groh, who presided at the Meet as judges.

The members met monthly, at which time they listened to reports given by the president of each department concerning the clubs or activities operating under her division. These reports were then open to discussion. At their initial meeting the members prepared their Book of Plans, in which they outlined the year's activities. ln October monthly assemblies were inaugurated. At these assemblies the student body was kept well informed of council activities. The First project was the management of Registration Week, at which time those interested registered for membership in the various clubs. The Council offered a number of new clubs including the Camera Club, Tennis Club, Skating Club, and the Clee Club. The Plan Book included the monthly entertainments which were provided by any class that wished to volunteer. The Council encouraged the formation of a good basketball team and provided them with a schedule. The highlight of its activities was the successful presentation of the Blue and Gold Meet, which is destined to become an annual affair.

Marjorie Lent l84l E THE IQ37 Lflilbffli Our School Paper HE main purpose in establishing a school paper is to foster a sense of co-operation, to develop a school spirit. The word 'Kco-operation has been applied to every undertaking begun in high school life. A school paper, however, aims to establish a new meaning for this word, or rather to deline clearly its true meaning. By separating the letters of the word, co-operation , we can explain minutely our ultimate aims. For example, We might say: Let the C of our slogan stand as an emblem of our Callzoffz' xpirfl. U be a symbol of Oneness of purpose in all activities. O as a slogan Hf271Zlf'LI7'd.U P for P61'SL'L't'l'LI71!'L' in every thing attempted. E the Ifzfcl'-readiness to oblige in all worthy causes. R for Religious p1'inciplc'5 which should dominate every action. A for .lbiliiy which is a requisite for success. T for Tl'lldt'fIjf ol purpose enabling us to continue in every endeavor. l for active lrzlerest in each proposed plan of action. U for the U!1l1'gr1t1'on to co-operate which feStS on the shoulders ol' all, and should not be ignoredg lastly, N the Nc'z'e,v.vity binding us to strive to achieve the aforementioned aims. As a second, and by no means minor aim, the paper attempts to set a high literary standard. If our publication achieves this twofold purpose. it may be considered a success, and we sincerely hope that it will attain this goal.

There was never any reason why it should not be a progressive body of people, hence, the only thing lacking was the will to start. Now that it has been set in motion, there is every reason to believe that the Alumni will increase in activity as it increases yearly in numbers. The news item of paramount interest is, of course, the Alumni Dance on Ianuary 23. If one figures in percentage, no very large proportion of the alumni attended. But from those who did attend, some very interesting conclusions can be drawn. First, between one and two hundred of the alumni were willing to support an activity backed by a hitherto defunct organization, and did this solely through their loyalty to their old school and their faith in the, good will of those sponsoring the movement. Second, al- most half this number of other members would have attended had they not feared to expose themselves to the possibility of an unsuccessful enterprise. Third, in general, it was the early graduating classes and the recently graduating classes and under- graduates that attended in large numbers.,Consequently, there must be a proportionately greater number of people stretching across those middle years who have not been affected. Are we forced to believe that it is merely sentiment that draws the old grads and the Hedglings just pushed out of the nest? Surely both of these motives must have been subordinate to the even stronger one-the universal desire of man to enjoy him- self. Let us hope that the inertia and doubt that paralyzed those middle years have been dispelled by the success of this first venture. No one could have had a more en- joyable evening than the guests at the Alumni Dance, nor is the treasurer downcast. For our own Bureau of Vital Statistics we have the following information: Four- teen members of the class of 1933 are graduating from college this year. They are: Paul Karl University of Wyoming William Mann Penn State College Laurence Toole Rensselaer Institute of Technology Renee Amar St. Ioseph's College Denyse Collette Hunter College Iulie Collette Hunter College Mary Glynn Barnard College Edith Iahoda Adelphi College Florence Macken Seton Hill, Pennsylvania Vera Milone Adelphi College Marie O'Regan St. Ioseph's College Regina Simek Hunter College Congratulations are extended to Laurence Toole on his splendid record at Rens- selaer Polytechnic Institute. He is president of his class and has been elected life treasurer. He is a member of the Rensselaer Society of Engineers, the Rensselaer branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and was recently admitted to Tau Beta Pi, a national honorary fraternity. This distinction is conferred only on men of excellent scholastic standing. Q - Two members of the alumni have been admitted to the general practice of the law during the past year: Frederick Edel '28 Iohn Denton ,32 The following have entered the holy state of Matrimony: Mary Bergen 328 Gertrude Boyne ,3I E351 1 THE 1937 L'.AfMQB Q Ioseph Daunt ,33 Agnes Elberfeld ,35 Miriam Kelley '32 ' Several Alumni have announced their engagements: among them: George Thompson '26, president of the Alumni Association Dorothea Goodwin '26 Hester Cantwell ,32 And this year the Alumni begins its second decade of existence. lt is, therefore, fitting, that this should be the beginning of a richer and fuller life for its members, a time of renewal of old friendships, of the forming of new ties. Who would not labor to make Saint Agnes' the best-loved meeting place of graduates of any school on Long Island? Anne Tierney '31 Notes on the Class of '36 Only a year, but what changes have been wrought since we saw the doors of Saint Agnes' close behind us for the last time! There was a kind of tightness in your -throat, wasn't there? . . . As if someone had said, You've conquered this little worldg now you must face a greater, harder one. And then we remembered the fun we had had, and how we wished we could take back any little unkind things! But that page is turned and we are writing a new chapter. The Class of '36 has gone forward, each his separate way. We have tried to keep track of one another and here is the proof. Many of us who breathed a sigh of relief when exams were over fand who didn't?j have put our shoulders to the educational wheel once more and are found in various colleges throughout the country: St. Elizabeth's-Convent Station, N. I.: Elizabeth Fleming Catherine Scannell St. Iohn's University, Brooklyn, N. Y. Philip McGarty Robert Selinger Margaret Callaghan Iulia Dunn Elizabeth Regan Helen Zimmer St. Ioseph's College for Women, Brooklyn, N.

I.: Eleanor Gillis Continuing the tradition of Saint Agnes graduates winning scholarships, three members of the Class of '36 are to be congratulated for meriting these honors. They are: Elizabeth Fleming St. Elizabeth's Scholarship St. Ioseph's Scholarship St. Iohn's Scholarship Regents Scholarship Margaret Callaghan St. Iohn's Scholarship Sighle Kennedy Manhattanville Scholarship You wouldnit be lonely if you were ill in Mary Immaculate Hospital, for in any corridor you might find Eileen Gorman, Genevieve Harvey, Eleanor Iahoda, Caroline Paulus, or Marian Ritterbusch, all of whom have found their vocation in caring for the sick. Elizabeth Ann Halpin is performing the same noble work in Misericordia Hospital, New York. The business world and commercial schools have claimed Miriam Apeler, Patricia Charde, Vincent Coleman, Genevieve Connaughton, Rosemary Cramer, Imelda Cruise, Catherine Donnelly, Irene Fagan, Helen Felker, Marcella Gengler, Anne Healy, Elizabeth Kelly, Mary Kelly, Ruth Keresy, Eleanor Koenig, Dorothy Kunzinger, Lucille Little, Ieanne Macken, Marguerite Marky, Dorothy McKenna, Constance and Helen McMahon, Agnes Meaney, Blanche Meuser, Mildred Meyer, Helen O'Connor, Iohn and Mary O,Donnell, Kathleen O'Shaughnessy, Ianice Rathgaber, Margaret Sullivan, Mary Sullivan, Helen Tighe, Patrice Walsh. Art has lured Dorothy Seligman to the Traphagen School of Fashion. Forsaking all these worldly paths, Mary Burns has chosen a higher life in the con- vent of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scranton, Pennsylvania, and I know she won't forget us in her prayers. ' And so it goes, but this is just the beginning. We are on the threshold of life and we have a world to conquer. Let's cling together in the iight though, and whatever comes let us be able to say we took the honest way and asked help of no one but Him who can give it.
