The Paduan is just a little book of memories.— memories precious to the students whose high school days have been passed in the happy environs of old St. Anthony. Through the medium of the chapter of our school history we clasp hands with all the fine high-spirited men and women who in by-gone years were loyal children of our dear Alma Mater. It is our sincere hope that when they read our book, they will perceive in it somewhat of the grand spirit which was born with the school in those far-off times and which has never deserted it. 4s those of old. so are we proud of our Catholic heritage: of the zealous priests who have shepherded us so faithfully : of the Sister teachers whose labors have been generous and untiring: of the fathers and mothers and sons and daughters of St. Anthony, whose cooperation has meant so much to our dear old school. As we leave its portals today, we are happy to place our Paduan at the feet of the great St. Anthony the while we ask him to bless the Class of 1925 and all the Classes of future years as he has so graciously blessed those of the past. Dedication To the pioneers of St. Anthony, to those loyal Catholics who, by honest toil and willing hands, with deep faith and far-seeing minds laid so firmly and so well the foundations of Catholic education in our community, we. the heirs of that priceless heritage, dedicate this volume. '£ ie Church lowers Stalwart, magestic. giving forth essence of peace. Like sentinels standing, and hailing with joy the surcease Of the struggle. In you would our forefathers have us ever to know. That the worthwhile things of life: the things by which we grow. Were nurtured for us hear beneath your kindly glow— Near the great Father of Waters flowing gently to the sea. Where we learned that even worship without words may be. An Alumna. ILailllBIIIMlIlM MllllBlirR JilSil ST. ANTHONY SCHOOL The Parochial school of St. Anthony of Padua was the first Catholic school in what is now the city of Minneapolis. The little settlement in which the school was located was then known as St. Anthony Falls. The school was opened in 1853. Some time before that, about 1849, the block upon which the church and school now stands had been purchased by the parish. Soon afterward the erection of a new frame church was begun, and in August. 1851. it was completed. It was the first Catholic church in Minneapolis. The Rev. Dennis Ledon was appointed its pastor and was thus the first resident priest in Minneapolis. It was during his pastorate that the school was opened. We read in the Acta et Dicta. Vol. III. that shortly after he assumed charge of the parish, with a view towards opening a school, he applied to the Bishop for Sisters. An old frame building that had been used by fur-traders was secured and fitted up as a home for the Sisters, and on the fifth of November. 1853, two Sisters of St. Joseph and a postulant came up from St. Paul, and took possession. In talking with some of the old settlers, we learned that the parish school was opened in a two-story, rented house—the lower floor only was used as a school, the owners of the house occupied the upper floor. This house was located on Marshall Street (then called First Street) and Ninth Avenue, on the corner north of their intersection. Two Sisters conducted the school—one for the boys, the other, for the girls. There was but little money in the settlement in those early pioneer days and though the cost of carrying on the school was small, nevertheless, to meet it. was quite a problem. However, under the helpful supervision of Father Ledon. it continued to grow. In 1851. Father Ledon was removed. His successor. Rev. John Fayolle. was in failing health, and could give but little thought to the needs of the school. In 1859. from motives of economy, the rented rooms were given up. and all the pupils were transferred to the convent, where a room had been prepared for them. Here, boys and girls were in the same room. By this arrangement, which continued nearly one year, there was but one Sister engaged in the work of the parish school. Late in 1 859. Father Fayolle suffered a severe nervous breakdown, and had to give up his charge. At that time the Bishop had no one to send in his place, and the parish was left without a Pastor. The Sisters were obliged to discontinue their work. In January. 1860. they went back to St. Paul. During the summer of 1860. Rev. John McDermott was appointed pastor of St. Anthony parish. In the fall of the same year the Sisters returned and the school was again opened. This time an old store was secured and moved up on the east corner of the block, upon which the church was located. The store was divided into two rooms, and again two Sisters were employed—the boys and girls being in separate rooms. 6 iTTnrnrnrn i ■ 111 ■ i n ■ n i ■nn=iAutJANi-i i ■ 111 ■ iirrrm ST. ANTHONY CHURCH, 1861 In 1861 the present stone church was completed. Some time later the old frame church was moved near the school, and it. too. was used to accommodate the increasing number of pupils. Prom time to time, as need arose, additions were made to those two buildings. As the number of rooms increased, there was. necessarily. an increase in the number of Sister teachers, and from the late 60’s on for some twenty years a man teacher was employed for the larger boys. Rev. Felix Tissot succeeded Father McDermott and was pastor from 1866 to 1888. During his pastorate, in 1885, a new brown stone school was built. It contained four school rooms. With the opening of this new building, a High School department was added to the parish school. Also a small private school, which from their first coming the Sisters had conducted in the convent, was closed and thecc pupils were transferred to the new building. There were now about three hundred pupils in attendance and even with the new building there was not sufficient room. 7 RtV.

James O'Reilly, who had succeeded Father Tissot. built in 1890 a brick building. Both these buildings faced Second Street—the stone building in the middle of the block, and the brick on the east corner. The new building contained three school rooms and an auditorium. The frame buildings were discarded. These buildings seem to have fairly supplied the needs of the pupils for some twenty years. But as time went on they proved to be wholly inadequate and finally it was decided that a new school building must be provided. Accordingly. Rev. Patrick Kenny, who had been made pastor in 1910. entered upon the task of erecting the present building. He died before the structure was finished. Upon his successor. Rev. Englebert J. Wilbee. devolved the task of carrying it on to completion. In November. 1915. the pupils moved in. This building contains fifteen rooms, devoted to class work. There is also a large gymnasium, which is used for work in physical training, also for recreation. On the main floor is a large auditorium, which is of great assistance to the teachers. This is used almost daily by the chorus and glee clubs, and for dramatization work in the English department. There is also a cafeteria, where hot lunch is served every day to all those who desire it. The greatest need at present is more space, and the hope of the faculty is that in the near future an addition may be built to the school, so that the rooms on the ground floor need not be devoted to school purposes. 8 aSEnJANl'II ■ 111 Bill ail 11 lli.llllMlllJ The High School was accredited to the University of Minnesota in 1924. The faculty had been considering this step for some time. It was felt that the work done was of high character and should merit this recognition. However, the school was lacking in certain equipment necessary to meet the requirements of the state. The library and the science department was especially lacking in this matter. In the fall of 1923 the faculty made renewed efforts to obtain funds to provide the necessary supplies. As a result, substantial additions were made to the library and to the science laboratories. In the spring, the school was inspected, and all those interested in its welfare were glad to learn that not only did the school meet with the approval of the state inspectors, but received many flattering comments on the character of the work done. For this favorable outcome of affairs many thanks are due to the alumnae, to the parents of the high school pupils throughout the city, and to the good people of the parish, upon whose generosity so many demands were made. Many thanks are due also to Rev. Father Wilbee. Had it not been for his generous and efficient helpfulness, the advancement of the school to the position it holds today would have been impossible. The school now enrolls about four hundred in the grades and one hundred ten in high school. Numerically, its growth has not kept pace with its years. This is explained by the fact that in the beginning its boundary lines were the city limits, and now there are in the same area some eighteen Catholic schools. However, to excel in numbers has never been the aim of the school. And it seems that we cannot do better than to follow as closely as possible in the footsteps of those who have so worthily carried on the work in the past, and to aim. year by year, to send forth classes of boys and girls firmly grounded in sound Christian scholarship, for which the graduates of St. Anthony school have ever been noted.

At the beginning of our freshman year we started out to acquire what we thought only the learned men of the world knew. However, after having attended the first quarter, we began to lose our self-confidence and wondered what became of the abundance of knowledge we thought we possessed. It was a surprise to find out how insignificant we were: but when the high school girls presented the operetta “The Rivals ’ and a few freshmen were chosen for the minor characters, our sense of importance was raised. We then began our long climb up the ladder of knowledge. During our Sophomore year our class decreased in number and we became as members of a family. Each girl's aim was to strive to make our class the best. As the days passed our store of knowledge grew and we began to feel proud of our increasing importance. This year we felt more at ease at our social functions, and looked with sympathy on the new freshmen trying their best to look comfortable. One of the greatest events of this year, in our opinion. was our part in the successful presentation of the operetta. Princess Chrysanthemum.” The giving of seven books to our school library was an important factor in our Sophomore year. These seven books became a great source of pride to our class. We feel that they became an impetus, for behold, the library began to grow on that eventful day. So it seemed to us. Juniors! Such a high-sounding name, and we were very proud of it. Here we were ascending the last half of our climb. Mary Smith was our successful class president. She was responsible for many social activities. This year we were permitted to present a play. Our choice was Breezy Point.” a comedy. Since it was a decided success, we felt capable of doing something big in our Senior year. The Junior-Senior banquet was unsurpassed. The decorations were exquisite! We will never forget the menu. Who could.' During our Junior year we bought a set of maps for our Modern History class. We also contributed to the building up of the library by earning the money for a set of file cases. My. we felt proud! We did things. Look in the Chemistry Laboratory—you may see that we passed through—and in passing, we say it was well for us and for all concerned. They arc richer because— you know. Seniors! We had now reached the top of the ladder. Such a height to have reached! We had to be careful not to fall. We had to keep a steady hold and resume our everyday work. We acquired an increased knowledge of books and their use when working out our Library Project. Many a pleasant hour was spent in the various branch libraries of the city, but we must say—-the Logan Park could not be rivaled. The Merchant of Venice was chosen as our class play. Could we say we chose it? However, we appreciate that it was chosen. To give it in a new way—that was our idea. Therefore. our class must have some small credit. Sincere praise was given to the manner in which this play was presented. Lovers of Shakespeare went so far as to say. How could they do it? This made us a small bit delighted. Pardon us. but we thought so. too. The last round will be reached on graduation day. When we will have been graduated from St. Anthony High School, we sincerely hope we will always be products of which our Alma Mater is proud.

It is one of those pleasant June days that casts a spell of romance over the young but causes those whose youth is past to fall into a reminiscent mood recalling such another day in June. It is the twilight hour. Long shadows creep across the grass. The pale, yellow moonlight is more congenial to my present mood than the brilliancy of the electric lamp, though its light be softened by artistic creations. Here as I sit in the soft, mellow moonlight. I hold in my hand the day's mail—one letter only—and that not the long-looked-for letter from a dear friend, but the announcement of the fifty-third annual commencement of Saint Anthony High School. Fifty-third—ours was the forty-second—how time has flown. We have reached that time when the days seem to have shortened and weeks speed by as but a day. Following back over the memory trail. I again see the familiar faces of that day. which was to me the only important annual commencement—my commencement. As our joys and sorrows were interwoven during those four happy years, it is but natural that my thoughts revert to them at this particular time when I, turning back, in spirit, wander through the days of yesterday. At present, there appears, as in a vision, a group of twenty girls, laughing and chattering together. Their cheerful faces and merry laughter makes my heart leap with joy. Among them, neat and womanly, is Dorothy Barth. In spite of the clouds, which hid some of her sunshine. Hope and Perserverance brought about the realization of her life-long dream. She is now a successful teacher of Dramatic Art. The hearty laugh, which I seem to hear, can belong to no one else but to Filecn Casey. Pleasant, obliging Eileen, whose love was always showered upon little children, is now at the head of an Orphan's Home. Because of her motherly tact, she has been most successful in her chosen work. Then there's little Ann Cashmore. who always seemed so young and inexperienced. Her consideration and kindness for others has called her to that wonderful work of charity—nursing. Standing near Ann. with her usual dignity of manner, is Adelaide Gra-bowska. the only ctirl of our class who never yielded to the temptation of bobbing her hair. Through her constant striving and studiousness, she at last reached her goal, and is now a teacher of seven different languages at the State University. Entertaining the group with their witty jokes and popular tunes are Helen Gallagher and Catherine McKenna. These happy, care free girls always looked uoon the world as a place of sunshine and flowers. Helen was happily married a year ago. and is living out West, while Catherine is private secretary to our senator in Washington. In my dream there appears the sweet, smiling face of Marvel Hans. Her charm and winning personality make her rose-covered cottage a happy home and a delight to her friends. Amidst the chattering and laughing of the group. I hear the kind, gentle words of Genevieve Gannon. Since it was not intended that Genevieve should brave the battles of the world, she is living at home—bringing happiness into the lives of those most dear to her by her kind helpfulness and loving sympathy. 17 ■mill IIBIIlMlIlBiMBIMBlI 1 1 i 1 ■ 111 Mill MlinTTU The sweet tones of music wafted from a nearby cottage brings back to my memory similar strains played by our accomplished pianist. Helen O'Connell. Her musical talent has received great recognition in Europe, where she is now traveling, accompanied by Mary Smith and Elizabeth Turgeon. Mary is collecting material for a new novel, which she is about to write, while Elizabeth, always fond of social life, is soon to become an English Countess. As the soft evening breeze whispers to the tree tops and the tiny stars shine more brightly, the longing in my heart, to see my classmates once again, increases. Now. as if in reality. I recognize the determined expression of Monica Hanlon. She is not the little Monica of long ago. but a tall, slender woman, whose success in life has been due particularly to her determination. Tonight, she is to give an address at a Convention of Social Workers in New York. Even now she may be putting forth her plans for the social betterment of the race. Next. I see our tall, fun-loving Margaret McClellan. Her life work started in school, where she had charge of the candy counter and where one’s credit was always good, especially that of the teachers'. At present. Margaret is operating a series of candy shops—the Maggie Mac candy is known by all and is considered the best ever made. Agnes McEachern. still just as sweet as ever, has surprised most, if not all. of her friends. Instead of being a nurse, as she always planned, she has become a pharmacist. Her sense of responsibility and painstaking effort has brought about her success, and now she is the proud owner of three large drug stores. Gertrude Hays, also, gave the world a pleasant surprise. Her talent along the line of dancing always gave us the impression that some day she would be a great dancer. However, her artistic touch changed everything and has made her a well-known artist. She won the second prize at the latest exhibition held in the Art Institute. There is also Catherine Henry and Helen Dargay. whose success in school was achieved simply by sticking to their work, patiently, until it was done. Catherine is our representative in the State Legislature and has recently secured the passage of a law giving women the privilege to ride on the street-car free. Helen's love for books, which was implanted in her during her High School career, has grown, and she is now the head librarian in the St. Paul Public Library. Her leisure moments are always spent at home with her books, or best friends.” as she calls them. The worldly joys and pleasures did not. however, claim all the girls in our class. The beautiful life of self-sacrifice made an appeal to Ruth Cloutier and Dolorosa La Motte. Ruth, whose new name I cannot recall, is the sixth grade teacher in one of our schools. Dolorosa, who is principal of our Alma Mater, has just gone abroad to study for a year in Oxford. And I. sitting here, alone, in the light of the twinkling stars, wonder what the future holds for me. Tomorrow. I leave my girlhood home, and depart for Maryknoll. to join a band of missionaries for far-away China.

Soeur Theresc came to spend but twenty-four years with us. and of those twenty-four years she spent eight years in the Carmel of Lisieux. And what did this little French girl do? She performed no miracles: she lived her life An angel-watered lily: that near God Grows and is quiet. Soeur Theresc was known as The Little Queen in her father’s home: and later as. The Little Flower at Carmel. Her life was one sustained act of Divine Love: her death was the consummation of that act of Love. During her earthly stay, she craved but to be forgotten.— to love her Lord and Master for those who did not remember his gracious gifts. She did not seek the world's recognition. Today the world stands in awe. Thousands of men and women read her autobiography.—written not for their eyes.—written as a simple act of obedience. They read her days.—beautiful days of holy peace. They read her poetry, poetry once defined.— A gleam of heaven; the passion of a Star Held captive in the clasp of harmony: A silence, shell-like breathing from afar The rapture of the deep—eternity. Was this little French girl a born ascetic? Had this girl no love for the things of life which make it sweet to us all? Listen to her own words.— I loved the sight of the fields bright with corn-flowers, poppies and marguerites; of far stretching views, sunlit spaces, and . stately trees. 1 used to have among my birds a canary which sang beautifully, and also a little linnet of which I was very fond. In another passage, she writes. When I was six or seven years old I saw the sea for the first time. The sight of it made a deep impression on me. I could not take my eyes off of it. That evening at the hour when the sun seems to sink into the vast ocean, leaving behind it a trail of glory. I sat on a bare rock, and gazed for a long time on this golden furrow. Theresc had a heart which responded to all the beauty of God's earth. To her. all beauty and all love were but a reflection of His beauty and of His love. We may ask. did this little French girl not love her home? She was so eager to enter the Carmel? She quaintly says: When 1 made myself a prisoner at the age of fifteen. I gave up forever the delight of rambling through the meadows bright with the treasure of spring. I did not shed a tear, but as I led the way to the cloister door, my heart beat so violently that I wondered if I were going to die. Oh. the agony of that moment! Yes. Soeur Thcrese loved the things of life which make it sweet to us all.—but she loved God more. Soon we hear her say.— Everything in the Convent delighted me, especially our little cell. I repeat that my happiness was calm and peaceful. Not even the lightest breeze ruffled the tranquil water on which my little barque sailed; no cloud darkened the blue sky. I felt fully recompensed for all 1 had gone through, and I kept saying: Now I am here forever.’ Mine was no passing joy. it did not fade like first illusions. I found the religious life just what I expected, and sacrifice was no surprise. From her life in the Carmel we know she became a poet during her last few years. She became a poet because she became a saint. The heart of Soeur Thcrese sang because she could not help singing. She sang because her heart was overflowing with joy. The poetry of Soeur Thcrese is overflowing of that love. Docs not this stanza of one of her own poems tell the secret of her sanctity? Oh. Christ. Thy great example teaches me Myself to humble, honors to despise. A little one—as Thou—1 choose to be. Forgetting self, so I may charm Thine Eyes. A little one —that is the keynote to her life. Her Little way. It is the way of Spiritual Childhood. The way of Trust and Absolute. Self-Surrender. 34 ■ Ill mi lllimi ■■■■ Bill IIIIS BJI IIII nil IBIB BIBB BBBB BBIB BBBB Yet we must make no mistake. Soeur Therese was no dreamer. She was not a passive, sweet child. Keenly alive, she was all fire and spirit. To be successful in the spiritual life requires not less, but greater effort. She was a white flame of energy. Marie Francais Therese Martin stood as we. each and all stand, alone with her own glorious free will. Wc are what we choose to be. Life is a succession of experience. Wc choose, and by our choice wc are what we are. Wc choose what we like. The weakling only. says. Fate is against me.’' 1 will to be. and I cannot. Weaklings arc weaklings because they are weaklings. Saints arc saints, because they, possessing a free will, choose not the tinsel of a passing day but the riches of an eternity. Each and every human soul is born possessed of a desire for happiness, and with this desire for happiness comes the ambition to gain that happiness. Wc become what our ambitions —what our choices make us. What was Soeur Therese? She was possessed of a dear logic: a keen perception of right values. In an age which cares only for achievement—for glorious attainment—what is the secret of it all? She is dead, this little French girl. She is not dead. She moves among us. a vital, beneficent presence, smiling into our eyes and holding our hearts in her pure white hands. She has left her cloister to walk two worlds, the gracious realm of Heaven and the troubled realm of earth. The Little Flower blooms in God s Garden, but her petals waft in endless showers upon the parched earth. The Little Queen is dead! Long live the Little Queen! Today, were she living, she would be but fifty-two years of age. She has been buried in a humble village cemetery since she was twenty-four. And on May 17th of this year, in thousands, wc stand to muse and wonder. She is St. Therese. She chose no tinsel. What are we doing with our years? 35 ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ am laaas iMTj iBaa ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ana ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA St. Anthony was born at Lisbon in 1195 and died at Vcrcclli near Padua, at the age of 36 years on June 13. 1231. He was solemnly canonized the following May. Canonized in less than a year after his death! Is there not something quite overwhelming in the thought? We of the present day can realize what must have been the feelings of those who lived in those far-away days, for has not our own Little Flower in this very month been crowned with the same honor—the highest honor that can be conferred on any human being. And in his case as in hers we ask. “What is the meaning of it all? In trying to answer our question we again turn the pages of his life. There we learn that he was born of noble and pious parents: that he attended the cathedral school in Lisbon until he was fifteen years old: that he was endowed with unusual mental ability, and also with much beauty of person: that his voice and accent, his manner and bearing were all that a young nobleman could desire them to be. We read on and learn that at the age of fifteen he bade farewell to his highborn parents, to his beautiful home, to all that the world had to offer, and that he entered a monastery of regular canons of St. Augustin. Here his time was spent in study and prayer. Ten years later we find him hoping to become a martyr and journeying with the Franciscans to preach to the Saracens in Africa. Evidently it was not the will of God that he should die for the faith, since he was compelled by sickness to return the next year—but not to Lisbon. A storm forced them to land in Sicily: from there he went to Italy and finally Padua became his home. The first twenty-five years of his life, as we have seen, were spent in study. With his brilliant mind and wonderful memory, we can readily believe his biographer when he tells us that his learning was profound—that he was thoroughly versed in the Holy Scriptures and in theology. But to his brethren in Italy he said not one word of his studies. His one wish was to live unnoticed and unknown. He asked his Superior for a place where he might live in solitude and penance, and he was appointed to say mass for the lay-brothers in the hermitage of Montepaolo near Forli. After he had spent some time in this place it happened that he went as a companion with his Superior to attend an ordination at Forli. When the hour for the ordination came it was found that no one had been asked to preach. After all the seemingly capable ones had refused to speak because of a want of preparation, the Superior in despair turned to Anthony, whom all thought only able to read the Missal and Breviary, and commanded him to speak whatever the Holy Spirit might suggest. Anthony began his sermon slowly and timidly but soon warming to his subject he spoke so eloquently and so learnedly that all who heard him were quite astonished. From that hour his public career began. St. Francis, when he heard of this sermon, ordered Anthony to teach theology to the brethren. However, it was not as a teacher but as a speaker that Anthony was destined to win souls to God. With the zeal of an apostle he began to combat the vices of the times. In this he was very successful. He was not less so in the extinction of heresy. It was in his dealings with heretics that some of his most noted miracles took place. Who is there that has not read of these miracles? Everyone knows the story of the horse that, although he had been kept without food for three days previous, refused to eat the oats placed before him until he had first knelt and adored the Blessed Sacrament which St. Anthony was carrying? We have all heard of the fishes that came at his bidding and listened while he told them of their Creator and of his gifts to them. To barely enumerate his miracles would fill pages. His life which at the beginning reads so much like that of our Little Flower seems at its close to be wholly unlike hers. She remained unknown to the end while his last years seem to be one continuous blaze of glory. He became known throughout the whole Christian world. The crowds that came to hear him sometimes numbered thirty thousand. Outwardly his closing years were different, but after all was it not only outwardly? His eloquent sermons, the crowds that followed him. even his miracles, were nor all these external things? Inwardly was he not still the same lover of solitude, of penance, and of self-denial? It seems that he was. Penance and self-denial seem ever to have been the one path to sanctification. How could it be otherwise? Did not the Master say. “Whosoever would be my disciple, let him take up his cross daily and follow me. 36 Dorothy Barth. 25. -yujuANn-iMiiiBiiiMuiBiiim-nTin ON THE GLORIOUS ASSUMPTION of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY By Richard Crashaw Maria, men and Angels sing, Maria, Mother of our King!

Live, our Chaste Love, the Holy Mirth Of Heaven, and humble Pride of Earth! Live. Crown of Women. Queen of men; Live. Mistress of our song; and when Our weak desires have done their best. Sweet Angels, come, and sing the rest! 38 Mllll'IJlXXiJ 1111.M11 THF5 OUR RELIGION CLASS Not the least interesting of our classes is the Apologetics Class. which meets twice in the week and is not nearly so formidable as it sounds. Indeed, for the most part. I think it is merely truths we learned long ago in the grades— only developed and reasons given. T his year we studied the Existence of God and the arguments from Order and Design, the Moral Law and Conscience, which prove that beyond the range of material things exists the Eternal Law Giver. Whose glory the things of creation portray. We also touched on the Nature and Creation of Man. the Immortality of the Soul and a little—very little—on Evolution, just enough to show us what stand we may take on this much discussed question. Our instructor. Rev. Father Wilbee. had us give part of the time devoted to Apologetics to the reading of the Scriptures, and this surely added charm to the period: for. by carefully reading the inspired words and discussing as we went along, we began to appreciate the sublimity and beauty which scholars. Christian and otherwise, tell us are to be found in the Scriptures. This term we read the Gospel according to St. Matthew, and learned to love the kindly, generous-hearted Evangelist who left all things to follow the Master. I think also from reading the Gospel we came to appreciate more the human side of Our Lord— apt to be overlooked by us in emphasizing the Divinity. What could be more human and touching than Our Lord’s love of Lake Genesareth! I read somewhere that all ancient writers who mention this Lake speak in glowing terms of its beauty and they say that even today, when that land so dear to Christians has lost much of its old time glory, many traces of the beauty of this Lake still remain—its banks arc still covered with aromatic shrubs, its waters are still sweet to the taste and its waves still break gently on the white sands. I would like to go some day to see with my own eyes those places sanctified by the presence of the Saviour. Anyhow, we find our class in Apologetics extremely interesting. For a little while at least we dwell in the region of the things of the spirit, sit at the feet of the Master, listen to the stirring words and sublime utterances which have influenced so greatly the world’s history, and we are the better for it. Margaret McClellan. The Junior division of the Bible class, which consists of the First and Second years, is studying the Acts of the Apostles.’’ In connection with the Bible, we are using Scripture Manuals for Catholic Schools, edited by Sidney F. Smith, which explains difficult passages of the Bible. We have completed the first seventeen chapters, which we greatly enjoyed. In our note books we have written outlines of the chapters, answers to questions iyid biographies of important characters. We found St. Paul and his missionary journeys most interesting, because, at the same time, we were studying in our Ancient History class about those countries that he visited. The students of this class have collected many beautiful pictures of events in the Life of Christ, the Stations of the Cross, and the Mysteries of the Rosary.

Leona Poselev -Harriet Kelly - President Secretary T reasurer ACTIVITIES OF THE CHEMISTRY CLUB One of the most energetic organizations of St. Anthony School is the Chemistry Club. It was organized for the purpose of instilling into the minds of the pupils a greater appreciation of the wonders of science in its relation to daily life. For this purpose we visited many places of interest throughout the year. Of course we girls find this more interesting than class work. The first place we visited was the Filtration Plant of Minneapolis. Here by many scientific methods we saw the water purified for the good of mankind. We never imagined there was so much science connected with milk and its products until we visited the Franklin Creamery Association. Neither did we know much about science's contribution to the methods employed in a laundry until we visited one. In a trip to the miniature mills at Donaldson's and in a trip to the Washburn Crosby Laboratories we gained the knowledge of the many processes through which wheat passes before it becomes the substance with which we are all familiar, flour. On that day we had a most interesting time. But why are public fountains set up to tempt experimenting school children and try a teacher's patience? In addition to the places named we found visits to an Ice Company. Paper Mills and Oxygen plant very helpful in our study of Chemistry. But don’t think our Chemistry work is all done away from school. No. indeed! We have our experiments—of course, and some delightful science books and magazines to report on. We wish the textbook was as interesting. We are also wide awake in noting and procuring scientific articles and advertisements for our bulletin board. Some day. after we have made an abundant 40 1 ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ mi l■l■s � jlf |||| ■■■■ am mi mi ■■■■ collection of these clippings, we hope to transfer them to a valuable scrap-book for our library. In conclusion. I must mention the fact that we often hold social affairs to forward our enterprises. Daily occurrences mean more to us since we are studying the underlying principles of it all and with eyes and minds alert we are trying to do our 'bit'' to forward the great cause of science. Eleanor H. Morin, '26. A WORD ABOUT CORN United States raises four-fifths of the corn in the world. If you split a kernel in two you will find that it consists of three parts: a hard and horny hull on the outside, a small oily and nitrogenous germ at the point, and a white body consisting mostly of starch. Each of these is worked up into various products. The hull forms bran and may be mixed with the gluten as a cattle food. The refined oil from the germ is marketed as a table or cooking oil under the name of “Mazola” and comes into competition with olive, peanut and cottonseed oil in the making of vegetable substitutes for lard and butter. Inferior grades may be used for soaps or for glycerin and perhaps nitroglycerin. A bushel of corn yields a pound or more of oil. From the corn germ also is extracted a gum called “paragol that forms a substitute for rubber in certain uses. The red rubber sponges and the eraser tips to pencils may be made of it. It contributes some twenty per cent to the synthetic soles of shoes. Starch, which constitutes fifty-five per cent of the corn kernel can be converted into a variety of products for industrial uses. The starch grains washed out from the disintegrated corn kernel by water, are digested in large pressure tanks under fifty pounds of steam, with a few tenths of one per cent of hydrochloric acid until the required degree of conversion is reached. Then the remaining acid is neutralized by caustic soda and thereby converted into common salt. The product is corn syrup. Dextrin of the corn serves in place of the old “gum arabic for the mucilage of our envelopes and stamps. Formerly we thought we had to send to Java for tapioca for making nitro-starch. but the War Department found that it could be made cheaper and better from our own home grown corn. The starch of corn is also a source of alcohol. And since so much oil was used during the war and the quantity of gasoline is less, the people are looking forward to alcohol made from corn to furnish the machines with motive power.

We have to our credit a very valuable scrap book, containing pictures and articles representing the civilization from the time of the caveman to the highest degree of civilization attained in Egypt. Our visits to the Art Institute and to Walker's Art Gallery increased our interest in the ancient world, for after we saw the relics of these olden days, our curiosity was aroused and we began to search from attic to cellar for pictures to make our Scrap-book more interesting. Our collection of Roman and Greek pictures is not as large as the Egyptian collection, but we hope that the future Ancient History classes will complete this collection of Roman and Greek pictures and appreciate our endless search in quest of this material. During our laboratory period, which is spent in the Library, we look up biographies of great men. read up on topics of special interest and study types of architecture from pictures procured from the Library. Some of the class saw the following photoplays which work in well with history when they do not cater to those who are not historically minded: Orphans of the Storm. Quo Vadis, Scaramouche. When Knighthood Was In Flower. Among the books we have read, the following are those we liked best and think others will enjoy reading: Faustula A Friend of Caesar Lucius Flavus The Beauty of the Purple The Last Days of Pompeii Fabiola Ben Hur Valeria Dion and the Sibyls Life of Saint Cecelia Son of Siro Blind Agnes Rosario Antigone The Coward of Thermopylae Victor of Salamis Pearl of Antioch Ashes of Empire The Exile of Tadmor Elvira Newman. Johanna Collins. 27. HISTORY IN VERSE We're the Ancient History Class of 1925. And it's hard we studied on Egypt. Greece and Rome: But the one we learned the most about was Charlemagne. Yes. indeed. Charlemagne, but that's a huge subject for a poem. We studied Grecian art and Roman architecture. The Pyramids and the Feudal Ages: But it's Roman History we detest the most. Cause that is in too many pages. We’ve learned the rule of Saint Benedict. And the laws of Caesar the Great: We studied the code of Justinian. But the way we learned it was sad to relate. Of the rise of the Popes and the Christian Church. We studied till we know this by heart: But when it comes to Feudalism and barbarous invasions. We would like to skip that part. Of William the Conqueror. Rufus and Henry. About Stephen and Philip we were always displeased: But it's Richard. John and Henry the Second That we wish had all been seized. And now that we've finished all of the book. We find barbarism even in these pages: For the people that live in these later limes All strive to kill as in the Middle Ages. Aurelia Vidal.

You see only one or two of the girls had ever been through the Capitol; so it was with mixed feelings of delight and boredom that we began this expedition. Few of us realized that Minnesota had such a beautiful building to represent her state. Our affable and instructive guide first took us up a flight of steps, from which we gazed at the rotunda. The grandeur and beauty of the scene before us impressed us all. Next we saw in the huge dome of the Capitol, a chanda-lier of Australian cut glass, the largest in the United States. Painted on the ceiling about this beautiful dome of glass, was a series of pictures. These paintings depicted the four steps in civilization. The chamber where the supreme court of the State holds its sessions, was a large awe-inspiring room, provided with beautiful mahogany desks and chairs. We were much impressed by the governor's office. This is a suite of rooms elaborately decorated and hung with beautiful paintings. One of these was a picture of the Minnesota regiment in the Civil War. In the group Archbishop Ireland is seen riding his horse. Next we visited the Senate and the House of Representatives. They are both immense rooms filled with desks. Adjoining the House is the smoking room. This is copied from a room in an old French castle. T he walls are beautifully-painted. the border featuring the wild flowers of Minnesota: the marble in the fireplace came from Africa. Mr. Lennon, had arranged for our visit, as one of special interest to us: and it surely was. for the Child Labor Amendment was under discussion. We had seats in the gallery, where we had an excellent view of the house. The debate waxed hot and heavy. Colonel Wilkinson from Ottertail County was strongly opposed to the Amendment, and offered several convincing arguments against it. Other Representatives brought out various arguments pro and con. We were interested in seeing the two feminine members of the house. Mrs. Kempfer and Mrs. Paige, one of whom gave a convincing speech on the Amendment. Late in the afternoon the guide summoned us and conducted us downstairs to the Gopher Inn. formerly the RathscuIIer. where through Mr. Lennon's kindness we enjoyed a delicious luncheon. We felt that the day had been profitably spent, and when later on we reviewed the chapter in our text on the State Legislature we understood the process of law-making much more clearly. Monica Hanlon. 25. MODERN HISTORY Modern History, an interesting study in itself to High School students, is made even more interesting by the constant use of supplementary material from other sources than our textbook. In our own library we have excellent reference books and source material at present but we hope this supply will be increased in the near future. Special topics have been handled with much credit to individual students. The Review of Reviews and the Current History magazines show that they are popular sources of historical knowledge. The pupils are alert to grasp the opportunity to present current items of interest to the class. The reading of two historical novels by each student from a list assigned by the teacher completes the requirements. For this work recognition is given by the English department, also. 48 BOTANY rn i ■ 111 rrvi-M-nnr 111 ■ 111 ■ 111'PADLiANi 11 ■ 111 ■ 111 ■ n i ■ 111 Bin inn A FRESHMAN'S ARGUMENT We enjoy our Botany garden because it is really our garden. Yes, the Rose Hill Nursery put in the shrubs, and many of the perennial flowers; yet we know, and care for each shrub and we have our perennials under careful supervision. A garden is just like a person, or it is like a book. To know a person one must live with that person many hours: to know a book one must live with the books many hours: to know a garden one must live with the garden many, many hours. We know our garden because wc live with, and in it: not by the class period, but. by the hours. If you know your garden, you love your garden. Wc know our garden and therefore wc love our garden. COMPLETED PLAN 50 r« • pal?li a nit i mi 11 ■ 111 ■ 111 jiirjiirjirni Some writers give us exquisite little poems and essays on the things of Nature. Eileen Kilmer seems to have a special fondness for gardens. She writes to her little daughter Dorothy: Dear, in all your gardens I have planted yellow lilies. Dainty yellow lilies everywhere you go: They are nodding slim and stately down the paths along the hedges. Delicately stepping they curtsey in a row. So when you walk among them like a lily in your slimness. With your shining head just bending graciously. All the little angels that look down upon your garden Will wonder which is lily and which is Dorothy. One of the things which my study of Botany has done for me is that— now I see many more beautiful things in everyday happenings. Today I found this poem. I cannot imagine anything daintier: Today I played with flowers. The yellow, yellow daisies. The rainbow morning-glories And lilies pale and grand. They held their dainty skirts out. They bowed among the grasses. And danced a tilting minuet Shadowy hand in hand. Surely Eileen Kilmer would enjoy coming to our class. Here she would be at home among our garden beds. One day I found these poems on trees: “If Mother Nature patches the leaves of the trees and vines. I'm sure she does her darning with the needles of the pines. They are so long and slender, and somewhere in full view. She has her threads of cobweb and her thimble made of dew.” • • • “Mottled trunk and shining leaves. Mossy limb and Iichened bark. Where lights flying shuttle weaves Golden threads in warp of dark. Still the pleasant beech tree stands. Like a gentle, genial host Welcoming with gracious hands Bird or squirrel, man or ghost.'' And on that day this thought came to me.—I would not like to study English.—just English alone. I enjoy it when it goes with me into all my work. Neither would I enjoy studying my Botany from one book, or in one class. Could you remember what Coulter or Bergen or Downing says about lichens? I am sure I could not remember long. Could you forget seeing and knowing:— Mossy limb and Iichened bark? Have you read Grayson's Essays In Contentment, or Burrough’s Under the Maples, or Van Dyke’s Wood Magic? If you have read these bocks and enjoyed reading them, you will agree with me. I am sure. 51 PRESENT PLANTING 1. Mugho Pine 2. Siberian Arbor Vitae 3. Colorado Blue Spruce 4. White Birch 5.

I confess that it is as yet a mysterious land to me. However, we have formed a French club which we find very enjoyable. After a spirited discussion we finally chose the name Entre Nous,” which translated means between us. I considered this an appropriate name as far as the rest of the class is concerned, for when they speak French it certainly is between them. I never know what they are talking about. Eileen Casey was very much in favor of naming it Sinn Fein. which she says, in Irish, means the same as Entre Nous. The girls, however, thought this would be a peculiar name for a French club so Eileen was voted down with only Helen Shaughnessy voting with her. When trying to decide on a motto our teacher suggested En Avant, meaning Forward. The girls were all in favor of this so Forward is our motto. I myself think that En Derriere would be a better one for I consider French a very backward language. It certainly is a mystery to me how the French people can be so pleasant when they have such a difficult language to speak. One thing that causes me a lot of confusion in French is the direct and indirect object. For instance. I am told that when I say. I give it to him in French it is Je Ie lui donne. whereas if I say I give the book to him — oh well. I don’t know what it is all about so I might as well give up. They say that the first year is the hardest and here I am only a Freshman and likely to be one for some time. I’ll never forget how hard I worked at translating one sentence. It was— Qu 'est ce que c’est que cela? I thought it would be a whole story and come to find out it means What is it? Sapristi! Qu’il est terrible! But Je ne suis pas content D’ apprendre Ie francais Parce-que je n' aime pas Ecouter ou etudier. 55 Margaret McClellan. rmriii B m i w 111 ■ 111 ■ 111 ■ 11 h- al danti i ■ i i i ■ i i i ■ imiunimium Juanita Gusser Agnes Carline Genevieve Wittmann Pauline Knotz VIRGIL CLUB Motto—Fit via vi President Vice President Secretary T reasurer MUSINGS BY THE LATIN CLASSES NIGHT IN CARTHAGE Night descends, and weary bodies rest in sleep— Peace is o'er the land and raging waters deep.

Gaunt trees, still lakes take on new wondrous charm.

How brave Aeneas journeyed forth: How he was tossed, now south, now north. On that voyage of much woe. II. At times the voices of the dead. At other times the Harpies dread Bid him to hasten on. And now disease, now famine cold To overcome our hero bold Their direst forms put on. III. Again he sees his good ships tossed: Again he sees his comrades lost And sunk beneath the tide. Now he arrives at Dido's land Who feign, indeed, in her palace grand Would have him to abide. IV. But on and on our hero sails. For naught o'ercomes and naught avails To obscure his destined home. The gods command: he must obey— The deep foundations he must lay Of proud imperial Rome. V. At last tis done: his journey’s o’er; His name, renowned for ever more. Shall live from sun to sun.

THE READING OF CAESAR The reading of Caesar is very dull. And appeals to me not at all. Our book gives a long account of his wars. Written to give grey hair to Sophomores. We know that Caesar was a great hero, But he’s been the cause of many a zero; Then to pass we must study, and study to pass. And pay close attention to the teacher in class. —Eveline Rivers. ’27. 58 y i m ■ 111 Mim_ri i ■ 111 ■ n i Mirrr g TO ACHATES Achates, thou most faithful friend. To Aeneas, on to his journey's end.

Eleanor Morin ’26. TO VENUS Goddess of love and goddess of beauty. But never, oh never the goddess of duty: Yet often you favored your goddess-born son. And often through you were his victories won. But we blame you for joining in Juno's sly plans. Which caused him to tarry in fair Dido’s lands. You allowed him to stay when you should have said “go.” Thus you would, from the poor queen have averted great woe. —Pauline Knotz. ’26. TO CAESAR Caesar was a mighty man. True and brave and strong. His name echoes through the ages. A leader he in battle was. An opponent of all wrong. And his deeds fill many pages. 59 —Veda Akin.

Day after day twenty-five millions of the youth of America make their way to the schools and colleges and universities of the land. No other question is quite so vital to the interests of the country as the education of these millions of boys and girls, of young men and women that constitute the flower and promise of the nation. What should be the basic principles of education? What should be its ideals? What should be its supreme purpose? Among all the schemes of education which attempt to answer these questions that offered by the Catholic Church is the simplest and most sensible. It is to take the child as he comes from the hand of God. and train all the powers of his soul harmoniously. To understand what principles and ideals and purposes should rule education we should first understand what the human soul is. The soul of man has three powers that make man what he is. The soul thinks, and we call it mind. The soul chooses, and we call it will. The soul views all things in the light of the moral law. and we call it conscience. Any system of education worthy of the name must aim at training the mind and will and conscience. The soul thinks. It analyses the contents of space, reading messages from far off worlds; and it analyses the contents of time painfully deciphering on the rock tablets of our planet the casual records of an immemorial past. It always things in terms of law—its thoughts are automatically cast in the form of laws. It looks out from its narrow tenement of clay, and takes the whole universe for its field, discovering its own vastness by unveiling the vastness of the universe. And then it turns its light in upon itself, the only thing in all the world that can make itself the object of its own thought, and discovers heights and depths more mysterious than the immensities of the material universe in which it seems to be lost. Grandly does it think. And grandly also does it express itself in all the arts, sciences, enginery, languages, political systems, philosophies and religions of the world. The greatest philosopher of modern times pondering the massive achievement of the human mind exclaimed On earth there is nothing great but man. in man there is nothing great but mind. And yet. wonderful as is the mind of man there is a faculty of the soul that lifts humanity to higher planes of grandeur. In a world where all things keep on their wonted course in obedience to law’s behests man alone can map out his own course. Indeed human life is a process of choosing. Man alone is master of his fate, captain of his soul. Man alone is free to choose, and as he chooses he grows great or little, choosing between good and evil, between what he would fain do and what he ought to do. choosing now with courage in scorn of consequence. choosing now with cowardice, sending up kites to discover how- the wind is blowing. Life is a process of choosing amidst all sorts of conditions and circumstances, under the stress of all sorts of motives. And still the story of the human soul and its grandeur is not fully told for there is another power of the soul in a sense even more marvelous than mind or will. Of its presence no man is unaware. It reveals a law that is as wide as humanity, the only law really worthy of the name of law. a law that men may break, but in breaking it they break themselves. Conscience makes known to us the dictates of that law. It is the herald of God’s law unchanging and unchangeable. It points out the difference between right and wrong to every human being. It commands men to do what is right and to avoid what is wrong, and there is no authority in the world comparable to the authority that rings in its voice. It passes judgment on every word and every thought and every act. It punishes and rewards. It prophesies of a day when God will close His accounts with humanity and justify His ways to men. Such is man. With his trinity of powers, a creature made in the image and likeness of God. the crown and completion of creation, a being for whom creation waited, and without whose mind and will and conscience all else would be meaningless and abortive. The work of education then must be to train these powers of the human soul—to bring out their innate loveliness, as the sculptor liberates the form of grace slumbering in the marble, as the jeweler brings out the fire and the flash of some fragment of translucent stone. 62 ■-ULLI III ■ 11 [ _■_! 11. ■ III ■ 1111111EZ The mind must be trained to clearness and accuracy that will enable it to see things iteadily and to sec them whole. For this reason as it studies the annals of mankind it surely must see that all history rightly understood is a commentary upon God's Providence, and as it studies the world of matter it must see that the laws of nature rightly grasped are thoughts —thoughts of One. “Whose dwelling is the light of setting sun And the round ocean and the living air And the blue sky, and in the mind of man.” The will must be trained, for. while knowledge is power it is power for evil as well as for good. Does not Macaulcy remind us that nine-tenths of the calamities that have befallen the human race have no other origin than the union of high intelligence and low desires? The will must be trained, for to know one’s duty is easy but to do one's duty is hard! Human affections must cling to something—to something low or to something lofty—and it is only God Who is worthy of man's highest affections and can regulate all human desires. The conscience must be trained, for ever since the days of Aristotle the world has recognized that the true aim of education is character, and character is chiefly a matter of conscience. Unless the law of God which conscience declares he made the guide of life there will always be lounging animals in our streets on the prowl for mischief, engaging the attraction of jurists and alienists only when it is too late to undo the fearful harm they have done. The conscience must be trained for it is the true driving force of life, and all experience tells us that if men are to live well in the present they must live for the future. A human being without conscience is a standing menace to society. And because mind and heart and conscience must be trained, religion finds an honored place in Catholic schools. After all. religion is the mightiest power in life. It is everywhere. It is in the mind, because the mind cannot think at all without thinking of God. It is in the heart, for there is no longing of the heart so deep and so real as the longing after God—“Our heart is restless till it rests in Thee. It is in the conscience, for the voice of conscience is the very voice of God. It is in literature, for there is no enduring piece of literature that docs not turn on the fate of the soul. It is in art—take religion out of art and art is robbed of its finest inspiration. It is in nature, for the beauty of nature is the shining of God's presence in the world. It is in life, because all life is. in the last resort, a stage on which moral and spiritual issues arc supreme. Therefore, religion should be in the school. There the lessons of religion win their way naturally to hearts that are as open to its sweet and ennobling influences as the flowers are to the dews of heaven. There silently and imperceptibly the lessons of religion are absorbed from the words and from the lives of teachers who are themselves a living illustration of the truths they teach. There arc inculcated the principles that alone can safeguard the things that make for peace and order in society—respect for authority, for law, for the rights of property, for the sanctity of marriage and the sacredness of the home. There, too. with love of God and love of neighbor is inculcated love of country as a sacred duty. In a word, in the Catholic schools of America all the principles and ideals that are needed for the formation of good men and women and good citizens are cherished and inculcated and practised. Such is the system of education that is sanctioned by the Catholic Church, and that has built all the Catholic schools of this land, as it has built this school in the parish of St. Anthony. In days to come history will tell how our Catholic people, fleeing from countries across the sea, built their homes around their churches, and then studded this broad land with schools in which the symbol of our common Christianity holds the place of honor, and in which the only Master whom all men love sways the minds and hearts and consciences of the pupils. The chapter of American history that will tell what Catholics have done for education will also be one of the most inspiring chapters in the history of the Church. 63 ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ mi am A WORD OR TWO ABOUT BOOKS “Scarcely anything is more annoying to readers than the fact that they forget so much of what they read. In history, dates and names pass from the mind, poems once known by heart fade away from recollection, and the characters. the plot, or perhaps the very title of stories which were once familiar departs as utterly as though they had never been known at all. In regard to this I find that a book I really enjoyed seems to remain in my mind always. I remember when I was a very small child, my sister used to read me Little Red Riding Hood. The Little Lame Prince, and The Land of Make Believe. How many of us are able to relate the stories told us when we were children? I think if you try you will find it easy to recall to your mind the simple stories you so loved to hear in your childhood days. It seems queer that down through the centuries these stories are as popular with the children as they were before. It simply shows us that the things we love and enjoy will never grow old. From kindergarten stories we advanced to more intellectual stories. From the third to the fifth grades I have full recollection of reading and having enjoyed a large number of books. The books that I enjoyed were. The Bobbie Bushy Tail Series. Peter Rabbit Series and The Five Little Peppers. The stories I enjoyed most were. Pollyanna and Uncle Frank’s Mary. But the stories I really loved were. Heidi and Little Lord Fauntleroy. Many more stories could be added to this list, but these are the books that impressed me most. My time from the sixth to the eighth grade was so taken up with mathematical problems that I had little time to read. But I remember reading and enjoying the stories by Montgomery. One story I particularly enjoyed was Anne of Green Gables. When I reached high school I found an entirely different type of book, history stories. What terrible things they must be! Who ever heard of reading such things? But the strong will of my teacher over-powered me and I had to obey. I read In the Palace of the King which I must admit I really found enjoyable. Next was The Spy. which impressed me very much, because, after reading it. I found myself a total wreck. We then progressed in reading: The Odyssey. Silas Marner. Ivanhoe. and the work of Shakespeare. I enjoyed The Odyssey as much as any student, but I was over-powered by the beauty of Silas Marner and Ivanhoe. Of the works of Shakespeare. I enjoyed Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice most. I must not forget to mention, however, that during my four years of high school I found time to read the modern novels. I admit I have no favorite author: they all interest me. This is partly due to my studying The Mind at Work, our fourth year English text book. This book seems to me to be a tonic for the mind, and I fully recommend it for people who do not like to read, or for those who find reading boring. I wonder if the books I enjoyed and loved impressed you. too? Why not stop and think, for I am sure you will be surprised to see how your list harmonizes with mine! 64 Gertrude Hays, ’25 M— —— i— 1— ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ mi ■■■■ ■■■■ A CORNER OF OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY EXPERIENCES WITH BOOKS In our English classes this year we have worked out several projects. The first was called ‘‘Experiences with Books. Lyman s The Mind at Work and Kerfott's How to Read were used by all the Senior students. From a map. the students divided the city into ten districts. The branch libraries in these districts were visited by the girls. All the students made a special study of the Main Library of Minneapolis, and the Saint Paul Public Library. Later, our own school library was given detailed study. Our class room became a laboratory. The A and B groups of students were free to read from selected lists of books. Later, a book project was worked out. The students gathered together material about the books which made special appeals to them. We are proud of many of these collections. To really know a person, one must live with that person: to really know a book requires more than a casual reading. We feel that we learned to know and to love at least a few worth-while books this vear.

T he pound of flesh which I demand of him. Is dearly bought: tis mine and I will have it. O Jupiter! how weary are my spirits! Let me play the fool: With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. It is almost morning. And yet I am sure you are not satisfied Of these events at full. Let us go in; And charge us there upon inter gatories. And we will answer all things faithfully. I pray you. bear with me: I cannot go no further. Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves! Pause then, Morocco. And weigh thy value with an even hand. Alack, what heinous sin is it in me To be ashamed to be my father's child! Pray you. let’s have no more fooling about it. but give me your blessing: I am Launcelot. your boy that was. your son that is. your child that shall be.

Griffith read Hamlet and The laming of the Shrew and we were most anxious to attempt a play ourselves. Some weeks previous to the hearing of Mr. Griffith. The Merchant of Venice was suggested as our class play. We objected. “Who would care to see High School students give a Shakespearian play? Why. no one would enjoy such a choice. It was not being done. Some thing modern, if you please. Such was the point of view before a never-to-be forgotten Wednesday afternoon. November 1 2th. Wednesday afternoon came. Mr. Griffith was to read Hamlet. We really were not interested, but. of course, we were there in person. T he entire high school body waited.—just waited. The curtain parted. “Peace, break thee off: look where it comes again! In the same figure like the king, that’s dead. Thou art a scholar: speak to it, Horatio. Looks it not like the king? Mark it. Horatio. You could hear a pin drop. We were interested. Scene after scene passed. Then:— Act 5, Scene I: A Churchyard. First Clown: Is she to be buried in Christian burial that wilfully seeks her own salvation? Second Clown: I tell thee she is: and therefore make her grave straight: the crowner hath sat on her. and finds it Christian burial. First Clown: How can that be. unless she drowned herself in her own defense? Second Clown: Why, ’tis found so. First Clown: It must be ‘se offendendi’: it can not be else. For here lies the point: If I drown myself wittingly, it argues an act: and an act hath three branches: it is. to act. to do. to perform: argal. she drowned herself wittingly. Second Clown: Nay, but hear you, goodman delver— First Clown: Give me leave. Here lies the water: good: here stands the man: good: if the man go to this water, and drown himself, it is, will he. nill he. he goes.—mark you that: but if the water come to him. and drown him, he drowns not himself: argal. he that is not guilty of his own death shortens not his own life. Second Clown: But is this law? “Is this law?’ We wondered. Later when we held our first Shakespearian Club meeting, we worked it all out in this way. p-TI rrwn-rTlTM HIM II !MlllTJAL LI klSll“rT'.MI II ■ IH M111 M.l 11 M11LJLL PI We would not settle the question. We would present the question for others to settle. Helen Shaughnessy played the first clown and Elizabeth Turgeon undertook the interpretation of the second clown's part. To be a Shakesperian fool requires a sense of the artistic. They must have possessed such a sense, because these two young ladies later played Touchstone. Old Gob-bo. and Launcelot. Oh such excitement when we came to picking out our costumes. We all went down to the Main Library and looked at pictures of costumes used by famous Shakesperian players. They were all silks and velvets. How were we to secure silks and velvets? Poor seniors! We all went home that night and planned a search party. Nearly every attic belonging to our friends was searched for clothes enough to make up our costumes. The next day we came to school ready to present our little scene as a surprise for our teachers. We had Grandmother's old black velvet cape. Aunt Mary's fine red plume. Mother’s silk waist, and a little boy’s velvet trousers. Our costumes were complete. When we walked out in all our dignity, the audience was amazed at all our gorgeousness. After all. we too wore silks and velvets! Our teachers were so pleased with our presentation that we have been implored time and again to,—“come again.'' Do you remember: “There’s rosemary, that's for remembrance: pray, love, remember: and there is pansies, that's for thoughts. There's feunel for you, and columbines: there’s rue for you: and here’s some for me: we call it herb grace o' Sundays: O. you must wear your rue with a difference. There’s a daisy: I would give you some violets. We sing Ophelia’s song—why not give our last appearance in the new Botanical garden some fine June morning? We will! Agnes McEachern. '25. alias “Hamlet. i 75 =� AL?UANI AN APPRECIATION One morning early in spring I happened into the High School Auditorium. The Junior Division of the Shakespeare Club was dramatizing “As You Like It.” Each girl was at ease and so thoroughly absorbed in her work that beyond her circle the world did not exist. I was very busy that morning and had intended to make but a short visit. The simple charm of those girls together with the unusual color scheme and lighting effects held me long past my hour. I must not omit mentioning that the Freshman's pretty song. “Under the Greenwood Tree. was sung in a new departure from the old musical setting. My one regret was that all who are interested in our school could not be present to enjoy the splendid work of our girls. CORA RYAN MULCAHAY. President of the Senior Alumni One warm day in spring, we the Chorus of the Shakespeare Club, sang out of doors. We sang sweetly. Touchstone and Audrey came from the Forest of Arden to listen. Who knew so well as Touch what good music really should be. Audrey could not remain home alone. She left her goats in the back yard. They brought in the Amen.’' 111RAUUAMI I EXPRESSION n I min 1■him 111 ■ 111 ■ 11111 lire 1925 CLASS PLAY 'The Merchant of Venice” Old Gabbo. father to Launcelot___________ -----------------------Elizabeth Turgeon Balthazar, steward to Portia ...Ruth Cloutier Stephano. servant to Portia.............. --------------------- Catherine McKenna Leonardo, servant to Bassanio Helen Dargay Clerk of the Court ----------Catherine Henry Porti3, a rich heiress ......Gertrude Hays Ncrissa. her waiting gentlewoman -------- ---------------------------- Marvel Hans Jessica, daughter to Shylock ............

Today these are trite sayings, but it was only a short time ago when supporters of the various schools required a great amount of urging before they would consent to include a gymnasium in their plans. Today we consider a gymnasium as necessary as the class-room. At St. Anthony we are fortunate in having a large gymnasium which affords ample opportunity for games, gymnasium classes and other forms of recreation. Training in gymnasium work, while primarily physical, is also mental. To stand more correctly, and to move more gracefully are desired results. Alertness of mind and concentration are mental qualities resulting from this course. There is a social side to this class work which no other class touches. Here is an excellent opportunity for the shy pupil: the self-conscious girl to forget herself, to lose herself in a game or dance and thus conquer this social timidity which very often keeps the good student from making the most of her opportunities. 81 I 11.1.11111 nil 111 Mill MARY E.

What a glorious resurrection day it was for our dear Alma Mater. At last she has the place heretofore denied her because she was handicapped physically. The crying need of the removal of this, the only obstacle, had long been felt. On December 14. 1924. a day long to be remembered, was the event of the Home Coming. What a treat it was for instructor and instructed who attended to gaze again upon the acquaintances of their more youthful days. Nothing could have given the former students more joy than to have it clearly demonstrated to them the high standards of the school were kept up. “No Room in the Inn.” removed all doubt, if it ever existed. —Ann Ryan.
