Such a rush was made for seats, that I am sure we gave the impression that we were anything but a group of young ladies ready to assume the responsibilities thrust upon our shoulders by being admitted into high school. But what could be expected of freshmen? Our first social event—will I ever forget it?—was a basket social held in the Auditorium. It was a success from the beginning to the closing “Goodbyes. I've had a delightful time. We were launched in high school activities. While freshmen we were happy to be among those who contributed books to our school library. Sophomores! The freshmen year passed so quickly that we were sophomores before we realized it, and we were trying to bear up under the great dignity thrust upon us. We gazed at the freshmen as they appeared and we wondered if we looked as friendless as they did on that same morning a year before. The seniors and juniors entertained us at a banquet on November fifth. We were again made to feel our great importance in the school, for we felt we were quite a necessary faculty. Our work was interesting: our credits were growing in number and our marks were higher. Thus we were able to walk with more assurance each day. Juniors! Talk about dignity! We were almost at the top of the ladder of fame. This time next year we would burst forth in the fullest bloom but until then we had plenty to think of and to do. We took many trips for educational purposes, but the one which will remain vivid in our memories is the visit to the State Capitol Historical Society Building. An outstanding social feature of the year was a dance, bunco and card party sponsored by the High School. This was the first of its kind: hence, we were very solicitous as to its success, but it was the nonpareil party. The Junior-Senior banquet was held on the eighteenth of May. The seniors pronounced us wonderful entertainers, and I can t say that I don’t agree with them. Seniors! We have now reached the height of our greatest ambitions. But instead of the forty-two laughing girls that started out together four years ago we have only twenty-one left, but their loss is our gain. On January twenty-ninth we presented our class play. “The Twelfth Night. which was well received and sincere praise was given to the way it was presented. We have had little time for social events this year for we have put out every effort to one thing—the goal that is not far distant now. Bertille Gordon. 28. 12 PADUAN THE CLASS OF 1928 As the class of June. 1928. is about to graduate, we. its members, wonder what part we have played in making St. Anthony High School a better institution. As a class we have tried to live up to the high religious ideals taught us at St. Anthony's. We have ranked high in scholarship, and we are especially proud of our classmates who are planning to continue their years of study at colleges and universities. We have taken a whole-hearted part in all school activities, societies, and organizations. We hope our efforts will inspire future classes to do even more and better things than we have done. The years spent at Saint Anthony High School have been happy years, and profitable both from the viewpoint of spiritual progress and intellectual advancement. We do not realize what the years to come will bring us. We know that new difficulties will face us with their victories and we know that we must face these difficulties alone. We are grateful to the faculty for the vigilant interest they have ever taken in the forming of our characters. We are thankful to them for placing before us the highest ideals of Christian womanhood. A SENIOR The sweetest girl I know. Is a pretty brunette lass From our Senior Class. She is by far too sweet to have a foe. Her hair is not too brown. Nor is her face too round. Her dress is always neat and trim. And her hat has a pretty rim. Now the lass that I am describing. Has a very pretty name: Her initials are M. A. E. That I am right, you can readily see. Doris Blakely. '30. 13 PADUAN CLASS WILL We. the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight of Saint Anthony High School. City of Minneapolis. County of Hennepin. State of Minnesota, realizing that of a necessity, but few hours of High School life remain to us. wishing to set our affairs in order, being of a sound mind and in possession of all our faculties, do by this, our last Will and Testament, hereby devise and make the following bequests: First: We order and direct the person herein-after named as our Executrix, to sign the diplomas of the most brilliant class ever having left, or that will ever leave the refuge of Saint Anthony High School. Second: To the faculty we bequeath our deepest sympathy for all the trials they have undergone with us and must undergo with our successors, the wonderful Junior Class. Third: To the juniors, with deep regret and long sighs, we give our lovely benches, the first three rows nearest the window. She will be thought great among them who has the power to acquire one of the seats in the back of the room. There she may finish undisturbed the bar she bought (or borrowed) at lunch time. Fourth: To the next chemistry class we lovingly give the chemistry lec- ture room and the laboratory with its unique odors and all its little bottles filled with marvelous brain appetizers. We hope the skull and cross bones will not frighten the class. Fifth: To the sophomores we give our ability as Shakespearian players and the honor of using the handsome mirror in the cloakroom of Room Four. Sixth: To the building in general, we leave just a wee hope that its noble walls will be able to gather about the girls a little more heat on those cold winter mornings. We suggest that the girls watch closely the thermometer: it might break from over heating. Seventh: To the whole school we bequeath all those terrible “Mini- mum Essentials.” Eighth: To the intelligent juniors we leave the pleasure of trying to keep perfect order in the halls. Ninth: To the sophomores we give the right to enjoy the rambling spaghetti and juicy elongated “hot dogs.” Tenth: To the freshmen we will our long and bothersome straight locks. Eleventh: To the freshmen we will the fire alarm. They do not need a fire escape: there will be none to escape. Twelfth: To any freshman who gets rips and tears in clothing. Berna- dette Dillon leaves her slicker. Thirteenth: To Marcella Warner. Lucille Norton wills her auburn hair, and also enough of her bent hairpins to hold it up. 14 PADUAN Fourteenth: Ruth Mauren wills her broken chair to any of the light- weight seniors of '29. Fifteenth: Last but not least we leave to all the joy of the lunch room: the bang of the new piano: the one time of the day when they can laugh, talk, and chew gum. In Testimony whereof. We have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our Seal this Eighth day of June. Anno Domini Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight. CLASS OF 1928. This instrument was on the day and date thereof signed, published and administered by the said testatrixes. to be their Last Will and Testament. Witnesses: Lucille Norton. 28. Ruth Mauren. '28. OUR HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES When the years have flown, for time does fly. We ll all remember dear old St. Anthony High. Oh. St. Anthony High, where months and years Bring many a brilliant student fears: For in the Freshmen Class you see. Comes algebra. Latin and botany. And then the sophomore year comes next Where we study geometry and a Caesar text. And ancient history of years gone by. Where Greeks and Romans our patience try. In the junior, there's chemistry. Bookkeeping, and if we choose In modern history our grades we lose. The senior year now comes at last If our other classes we can pass. With French, and Civics and American hist.. Which must be added to this list. But besides all these rules and sums During each year the English comes. Which we must pass to graduate. All these branches fill our slate. And can you blame us if we hold in mind This as drudgery which we leave behind? And yet how glad is every one To feel that these tasks have been done. 15 Cecilia I racy. PADUAN w ts CLASS PROPHECY Dear Friend: After my non-stop flight in the aeroplane from here to Europe, you can imagine my relief in standing on firm ground again. Upon landing I was greeted by my old school chum. Wanda Sledz. She is. as you know, a world renowned tennis champion. Together we toured the whole of Europe. Little did we dream that we would meet so many of our old school friends. While attending a matinee in London, we were greatly surprised to see Miss Bernadette Dillon doing the 7'een Drag dance on the stage. Walking home, later on. we chanced to pass a school house. The yard was filled with many laughing children and in the midst of them stood a slim, auburn-haired girl, no other than Lucille Norton, trying to make them behave. The picture of Lucille attempting to quiet the freshmen, so many years ago. came to our minds. The next day we took the airship to Dublin where a tall magnificent building attracted our attention. A great noise was coming from the topmost story of the building, as if scales were falling. To our surprise we learned it was only Mary Agnes Ellis practicing her vocal lesson for the grand opening of the opera. We did not stop here but flew to Moscow. Russia. We saw Catherine Moore entertaining the children by playing the Russian Lullaby. While in Shantung we met Bertille Gordon. Lorena De Mars, and Ruby Gregory, there for the purpose of taking charge of a Chinese Hospital for the intellectually deficient. They greeted us cordially and we were entertained royally at a tea given in our honor. We were on a boat bound for Japan, when I received a letter from Murlyne Betzler who has married a famous French designer, and is living in Paris. On reaching Japan. Wanda left me to compete with a Japanese tennis star in a national contest that was to take place in a short time. I continued alone on a steamer bound for India. While stopping there for a day. I encountered Marie Hall, who was reporting for the New York Times. The steamer continued through the Red Sea past Arabia to Palestine. Here I stayed three days exploring the Holy City. On my visit to an old Dominican convent. I found that Cecilia Tracy and Susanne Keller were members of this community. After the three days. I sailed on to Italy. In Rome. I heard that Minnie Thomas had been there for two years, studying the architecture of the beautiful Vatican buildings. Here I decided to return to America without further interruptions on my journey. My first stop was. of course, in New York. In Paris. I heard of a widely advertised beauty parlor operated by three charming girls. Margaret Dols. Dorothy Miesen and Ruth Mauren. En route to Minneapolis. I stopped at Chicago where I saw Bernice McConville. now a prosperous business woman. On my arrival in Minneapolis. I was greeted enthusiastically by Ann Piekarczyk. She is a teacher of English at the U. of M.. and has recently published a volume of her lovely poems. She showed me a newspaper clipping announcing the recital of the pupils of Miss Dorothy Myers, a professional in music. All of my classmates seem to have succeeded very well in their widely ranged stations in life. By the time this letter reaches you I will again resume my duties as a teacher at the University high school. Hoping to hear from you soon. I am. Lovingly yours. Anne Rapacz. 16 PADUAN JUNIORS President DOROTHY PETERSON Secretary HELF.N Howe Vice President MARY WAGNER Treasurer MARGUERITE Richardson A BIT OF HISTORY One of the most exciting days that I have ever encountered was September eighth, nineteen hundred twenty-five. With a pencil and a little paper I climbed the stairs of St. Anthony High School, wondering where I should go and what I should do. until I accidentally stumbled into the freshmen room feeling very shy. I thought that I would never be able to get acquainted or find even a few friends: my thoughts soon changed, for I found the girls to be the very dearest friends. Our first social affair was the big Freshmen Reception. It was then that we really became acquainted with the rest of the high school. During that whole year we spent most of our time in study. Then came commencement in which we all took part. The summer months passed quickly, and nearly all of us returned again to our beloved St. Anthony. Sophomores! How happy we were. Our first social activity was the initiation of the freshmen. Some choices make us glad. Proud and glad we were when a number of the sophomores were chosen to join the Glee Club. We afterwards presented a beautiful operetta. We have courses of lectures each year, but the social affairs we remember longest, it seems. 1 hen the commencement exercises came again, in which we all participated. The few months of rest and pleasure during the summer made us long to come back to school. As juniors we again assembled, ready to do our best. How different was that day in September. 1927. from that other September day in 1925! We were juniors and felt quite confident that fear had no part in our days. We came back happv to go to our intellectual tasks. The term is gradually passing along, taking our loved seniors with it. But the seniors leave happy memories, one. the Senior Class Play.” I he High School Dramatic Club also presented an interesting play. In a few short weeks we will again have our closing exercises. I sincerely hope that the Senior Class” of next year will be just as kind and lovely as the class that will soon be leaving us. Margaret Murray. 29. 17 n PAPUAN « OUR SENIOR GIRLS You came with that sweet, generous, attitude that we all admire, and you are leaving with that same charming way of yours that each of us will always carry in our memories. Indeed it was no easy task to overcome the struggles that probably have visited you during the four years at dear old St. Anthony, but you were strong and did not fail under difficulties. There was never a murmur of discontent from any of ' Our Senior Girls. for you wished to teach us good examples from your own conduct. If help was needed the Seniors’ were ever ready with their kind assistance. and you spurred us on to finish every task we began. Now perhaps your school days are over forever, and the arms of this big world are outstretched to you. but we know that you will make us all proud of you. Margaret Murray. 29. A SUNSET One evening after dinner. I decided to go to my room for I realized that there are heavy-hearted hours in one’s days that it is better to while away in absence of companionship. I drew my chair to the window. As I sat there idle, my eyes wandered to a garden of red poppies and sweet peas of many colors. I noticed that these looked different than they had looked when I watered them in the afternoon. I tried to think what the change was that had come over them, but I could not come to any conclusion. My eyes then wandered to the beautiful heavens. I was astonished to see such a beautiful sight: the sky was scarlet, the trees at the horizon blended beautifully with the crimson sky: it all looked like a piece of artistically designed lace. As I looked I saw clouds of mist from the river obliterate the now Vermillion rays of the sun. I then solved my problem of the flowers: it was the magic work of the setting sun that was transforming them. I sat there and watched the sun until it had gone below the horizon. A thought then came to me. that not only the sun rises and sets, but also my joys. They have their time of coming and going and like the sun at noon at its zenith, my joys also have their climax and gradually fall until they set: for they are temporal joys. But I know that there are joys which are eternal.

FRESHMEN My dear Freshmen, it is with pleasure we welcome you to our Sophomore Room. But understand, my friends, it is a weighty and serious task the Sophomore Class has placed upon me: this, of explaining to you the obligations you are taking upon yourselves when you come to occupy this room. Besides our material treasures we are going to leave you also some advice. First, we give our Room. It is a large room with blackboards covering three of its walls and the fourth side has been plentifully endowed with large windows. Then we give you our desks. Every year these desks are varnished and made to look like new: so please do not scratch or write on them or do anything that would mar their polished surface. Then the chairs! You must learn how to carry a chair gracefully, for every time there is a party you are expected to carry your chairs to the auditorium and the following morning to carry them back to Room VI. Dear friends, we are very sorry, but by accident the handle of the pencil sharpener has been lost. We hope to replace this soon. The mirror in the wardrobe also, we leave to you. Remember, my dear Freshmen, it has reflected only the best. The basket you see in the corner is also for you. and it is for receiving waste paper. We have finally persuaded many that this basket and not the floor near it is the place for disposing of waste paper. Every morning the desks should be dusted, nor should the ledges of the windows be forgotten. The blackboards should also receive attention every now and then. We. the sophomores, have an honorable name, known as honorable, not only within these four walls, but throughout the building. We hope that you will try to attain as high a standard as we have reached. Loretta Reilly. JO. REFLECTION The sophomores have solved a very valuable problem: a new mirror has a better reflection than an old one. To show their interest in this new problem, they have purchased a mirror for the sophomore’s wardrobe. T he girls have found it very useful. It is remarkable how it helps one with her lessons. I his reflection is most profitable before geometry class and Latin class. Margaret O'Neill. JO. 20 PADUAN FRESHMEN President Grach Mulcahy Vice President CATHERINE NHSSMAN Treasurer Anna May Berillon Secretary Lois CLOUTIER WE FRESHMEN We arc freshies gay and green. The best you have ever seen. Whether it’s gloomy or whether it's bright. The freshmen always do what’s right. We are the freshmen of twenty-eight. We’re always on time and never come late. Whenever we re naughty and make Sister sad. We always ask pardon for being so bad. Catherine Nessman. SI. MY FIRST DAY AT ST. ANTHONY The long expected day had arrived. The ascending sun’s rays glistened with a soft golden radiancy across my floor. I jumped out of my bed quickly For years I had not started the day with such spirit and zest. This was the day I was to start my High School career as a freshman at St. Anthony High School. I dressed with care and haste. I ate a hurried breakfast, put on my coat and hat. and literally dashed out of the house. I boarded the street car: rode on. and on. chills alternating. 21 PADUAN Chills and thrills still vying for supremacy, I arrived at my destination. As I stepped into one of the school's corridors, the thrills left me and only the chills remained. Of the many students strolling in the hall, 1 did not sec one familiar face. When at last. I was seated in the large class room which was filled to its capacity with students. I looked around with expectancy, but no. I did not know any of the merry girls. I was trembling with fear as I went to the first period class, but the friendly smiles and glances the girls gave me. soon made the clouds disappear. After the last class was over. I had become acquainted with the majority of the girls, and regretted that I must go home so early. Thus ended the first day of my High School career. I felt nothing but thrills, as I looked forward with joyous expectancy for the dawn of the next day. Now in retrospect, it was the real rose hued dawn of a splendid High School career. Stella Czakoski. 31. LOIS FINDS HER FRIEND I've never found a door so hard to open and steps so hard to climb as I found the first day I opened the door and climbed the stairs at St. Anthony High School. With a lot of pleading and coaxing on the part of my friend. I climbed the stairs step by step. At last I crawled as far as the freshman room: then my heart sank, and I stood there looking at my friend and glancing about the hall. It just seemed as though I couldn’t move any further. My bored friend then spoke. “Well. Lois. I'll have to go to my room now. as I don't dare to be late. I wish you wouldn’t be so silly!’’ With that she deserted me like a guard would leave a person stranded in the desert. 1 stood there for awhile resolving I would never look at or speak to my deserter again. Millions of eyes were staring at me. my knees trembled, my hands felt clammy, and I tried to gulp my heart out of my throat. I felt for the knob and bolstered up enough courage to open the door. I walked in. knees trembling. It was agony. I dropped into the first seat I could find, and it added to my embarrassment to know that I looked like a stiff statue. Time passed. We went in and out of the classrooms, to meet our teachers. All I could see was millions of girls passing here and there. I went through all as in a daze. While making another effort to get my bearings, somebody was calling my name, but I thought it must be my imagination. I glanced about the room and who should I see but my best friend in grade school for six years. I rushed to her with a cry of joy and could have kissed her. They say the first day is the hardest and I agree. 22 Lois Cloutier. '31. PADUAN a WATCHING THE SUNSET It was my first visit to the 'wild and woolly west. The first question asked me when the first surprise of my trip was leaving me was. would I like to watch the sunset. I readily agreed. I had heard of the wonderful sunsets in the mountains and had intended to see one before I returned to school. An exciting phase of this sunset was that I was to watch it from a peak's top. Oh! I had never seen a real mountain, much less been on top of one. This was a treat, indeed. About three o'clock we started out to perform what I called a stupendous task.’’ My friends only laughed at me. This taunt made me indignant. I'd show them was my thought. It wasn't so easy a task, but I didn't have any serious mishaps. As we reached the top. it was announced that we had arrived a little too early. That was agreeable to me because I intended to make use of the time. The top of the peak was like a small plateau. I immediately wandered off to get a view of my surroundings. As I reached the other side ot the plateau 1 could see many mountains, some tremendously high. Then I cautiously looked down, and a valley greeted my eye. It was beautifully set amidst its surroundings. I had heard a rumbling sound before. Now it was louder. 1 wondered what it could be. 1 scanned the deepening scene but nothing that explained the sound could I see. It must be on the other side. I thought. Sure enough! T here it was: a water fall. As I watched, the gushing of the many hued waters grew to a deafening roar. I stood tranfixed. Soon my friends called me. I hurried to the place where they were. T here all was quiet. A whispering silence. I wanted to see every change and happening. The brilliant dash of crimson told me the sun was already deeply ensconced in the deepening hues of the sky. Oh! I caught my breath. It was awe-inspiring. There wasn't a color that was not deeply imprinted on the skies before my eyes. In a twinkling, the bright and blinding colors were deepening into mellow tones. T wilight. evening. I heaved a great sigh. My mind was in a daze. Could I believe my own eyes.' It was dark night! The moon was plainly visible. As my eyes grew accustomed to the dark I saw my companions. The marvels of the rapid changing colors and atmosphere had completely obliterated them from my mind. It was truly amazing. One miracle after another was my experience in Watching the Sunset. Bernice McConuille. 28. A STORM AT NIGHT A summer mist. A speckled sky. The moody moon-kissed. A flashing fly. A streak of lightning. A roar: sudden brightening: The storm is o'er. Night birds soar. A tiny star peeping O’er the houses sleeping. Sweet breath of night. Dear God. what a joyous delight. 23 Dorothy Myers. PADUAN ts tit THE SENIOR CALENDAR 1927-1928 Sept. 6—The juniors came back seniors. A grand rush was made for the back seats.

Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett on the Rocks stamped through the hall into the presence of his old triend Sir Bors Somme. His brow was knitted into deep furrows, and his huge frame shook with anger. In fact the frown and show of anger were so unusual in Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett (on the rocks), that Sir Bors Somme stopped drinking long enough to remark: “Forsooth, and it does appear that my lord is not in good temper. Byr lady, it is enough to anger a saint. Sir. it does annoy me that thy niece, the Lady Amaryllis, will have none of me. “Tush! tush! man. responded the uncle, guzzling a mug. forget her offishness, drown her foolishness in a stoup of wine! So be it. A stoup of wine! And my lords drank. A goodly draught nettled their faculties and produced in them a genial comradeship which was the laughing-stock of the attendant-men-at-arms and lackeys. Rotund Sir Bors Somme’s ruddy face fairly beamed, as he leaned confidentially over the winecups to converse with Sir Rodney. I. faith, my lord. I have what beseemeth a fine plan to bring the female round. Hadst better not dismiss the lackeys? Sir Bors waved his hand in dismissal and waited until the servants passed out. Now. he continues, I will unfold my plans. The wench has been coazing myself to conduct unto the shrine of Sir Thomas a Buckett. (The speaker, being in drink, could not talk unless in terms of measures of wine.) How then. Sir Bors? “Tis simple. On our return home those shalt carry her off to thy castle, as a falcon its prey. Ods. bodikins! how shall I arrange to do that? Sir Bors hiccoughed. Look thou to it! and rolled to the floor in a stupor. Tis a beseeming place for the swine! commented Sir Rodney as he strode over the fallen body and out the door. Let down the drawbridge, fellow. he ordered a man servant. Ay, my lord. Bring me hither my stallion. Ay. my lord, and it please you. It does please me. Make haste. Sir Rodney chuckled as he rode homeward. I have come him over. 'Twill be a goodly marriage, that will replenish my coffers, for a goodly maiden such as the Lady Amaryllis will bring to her husband a handsome dowry. Od’s blood! I smell a device, and “twill work admirably. To convince Sir Bors Somme that such proceeding will be seemly, he shall be presented with a brace of greyhounds and a pair of falcons, for he never speaks but in terms of such. Ha! ha! “twill be splendidly done! He chortled as he signaled to have the drawbridge lowered. Once in his own chamber, he wrote a letter, which being finished he sent for the chief of his men-at-arms and unfolded to him his plans, securing his promise of aid. 26 tf PADUAN ts “Ay. my lord.” he exclaimed heartily, “that I will, for it smacks sweet of adventure! Next day. Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett rode to the castle of Sir Bors with a troup of servants in his wake conveying the falcons and the brace of hounds to the lord of the manor. “Kennel them! ordered Sir Rodney, descending from his horse and en-teiing the castle. It appears that his interview with the uncle was satisfactory, for he emerged from the closet of Sir Bors in smiles. Sir Bors was pleased also. So pleased, indeed, that he befuddled his mind with drink and fell to talking volubly. “A brace of greyhounds! Well! By my troth, they are but a becoming exchange of dowry for my niece. We hopeth that they do not injure their wings with running and their claws with flying! And heaven help us if the birds be bitten by an angry fox! SECTION II. The castle courtyard was alive with bright colors. Such scurrying and hurrying! Pages, fluttering to and fro in the wind, and men-at-arms passing and repassing, examining and re-examining the rows of horses being accoutred for a journey to Sir T homas Shrine. At one side of the courtyard, on a richly accoutred mount, sat a maiden. She was young and surpassingly beautiful. Her robe of cloth of gold contrasted pleasantly with the green trappings of her palfrey. Her golden tresses were conhned by a charmingly embroidered veil which enveloped her like a mist. Still her rich beauty shone through it like sun through a cloud. Ah! mere words cannot express the expressure of her eye. the shape of her nose, the smile on her lips, the contour of her face. In a word her beauty beggared description, this Lady Amaryllis. III. Shambling about her was the court fool. No one knew where he came from and no one cared, but his devotion to his lady was touching. “Fair lady. sighed the jester, “concede to thy humble fool, a boon. What would ye. Sir Jester? That 1 may accompany thee to the shrine. “That ye may. Right willingly I would have some one to cheer me the long ride through. “And lady. whispered the jester. I would go as a lord. “A lord? Even so. sweet lady. “Why wouldst travel as a lord, fool? Marry then, because I am one. Thou art truly addled in thy pate, knave. “Dear lady I am not mad. Hear me. I am of noble birth. I am a lord—Philip. Baron Lord Guffaw—Save for my life I would not be here a fool, but my brother, being stronger than I. did drive me forth from our father's manor. So comes it that I must take shelter and forage where I find it.” So earnestly was the fool in word and gesture that he greatly amused Lady Amaryllis that she vowed nothing would separate her from such enter- 27 PADUAN tainmcnt. Further conversation was stopped by the appearance of Sir Bars Somme, announcing the start of the cavalcade. Through the castle gates they passed in gorgeous procession. A large array of knights led the crowd. Thence came the lord and lady surrounded by personal attendants, and straggling along behind a few serfs cheering loudly in the vain hope of receiving a penny for their efforts. Onward they swept even to the boundary of Lord Rodney's property. Suddenly with loud yells a host of ruffians rushed out of ambush out of the totally unprepared travelers. But soon ensued battle. Many were slain and many broken on either side. Yet it will be noticed that one burly ruffian singled out Amaryllis for his share of the spoils. Terrified the lady crouched at the foot of a tree with her maidens, doing her best to ward off his advances. Had anyone noticed he would have seen advancing a lone knight, completely suited in pure white armor that reflected the sun. It was not long before he reached the spot where Amaryllis shrank in horror. “Sir.'' shouted the White Knight. “I charge ye to mortal combat in defense of yon lady. “Be off. sir. else I crush your stripling body with a blow. But without further parley the White Knight charged the robber on foot with sword. With one well-directed blow he felled his opponent to the ground, and he delayed not to make the robber yield to him in peril of his life. “Dost yield to the stripling. “ “Ay. fair sir.” Then the White Knight, not deigning to strip the ruffian of his armor took only a letter, sealed with a great seal which the ruffian took care. “Get thee gone!” ordered the Knight, “and pledge you shall never more molest woman.” “Ah. Sir Knight. sighed the lady, “how can I ever thank thee for this service? “Think not on it. lady. Rest ye here while I disperse these men.'' His task was soon accomplished. “Wilt allow me. lady, to escort you to your castle? Lady Amaryllis acknowledged his offer with tears of gladness. And so the pilgrimage was abandoned, and Lady Amaryllis returned home with Sir Haddit Boad. the White Knight, her sworn protector. A close friendship sprang up between them which developed into a deep love. V. SECTION III. To Lady Amaryllis the days were long indeed that did not bring her her lover. Sir Haddit Boad. Her uncle, still wishing her to marry Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett (on the Rocks) forbade her knight the house. So it came about that Lady Amaryllis took to walking in the garden. One day she rested herself from a stroll in an arbor. Dismissing her attendants she sat dreamily enjoying the coolness of the shade. A rustling of the leaves woke her from her reverie. Before her stood Sir Haddit Boad. He sank on his knee before her. “Sweet lady, have pity on thy humble servant! Suffer him not to grieve over the cruelty of his mistress. Give me a word, dear lady, to set my heart at rest. 28 PADUAN “Ah. sir.'’ replied the maiden, blushing deeply. 'What can I say? “That you love me! “I would say so. sir. but I dare not profess my undying affection for you. And she wept copiously. Or. as the jester would have said. “With copious tears her tender breast was wrung. “Tell me. dear one. pleaded Sir Boad. why you dare not’’ “My uncle wishes me to marry Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett on the Rocks. I abhor him. yet I feel I must wed him or seek solace in a nunnery. Ah! woe is me! woe is me! He did his best to console her. whispering tender words in her ear that made the blushes come and go in her cheeks. Their tete-a-tete was interrupted by the appearance of a servitor announcing the arrival of Sir Rodney who awaited Lady Amaryllis in the turret room. Amaryllis rose and walked slowly to the castle without a word. SECTION IV. In the turret room, his back toward the fireplace, stood Sir Rodney. His very appearance caused the bonny lady to shudder. Contrary to his ordinary impoliteness he placed a chair for the accommodation of his unwilling bride-to-be. Will you sit? “No. thank you. my lord. “No doubt you know why I am here? I think I do. my lord. “ 'Tis well. Prepare yourself for the ceremony immediately. My lord! I cannot get me ready so soon! I cannot marry you, neither now nor ever! “Then harkee, fair demoisel. an’ thou weddest me not thy lover'll light up a turret of this castle. 'Twill be nice. eh. to see him burning in oil? It will make a pleasant sight, think ye? Oh. my lord! Spare me this suffering! Snarling. Sir Rodney advanced toward her. but with a bound she reached the window. She was on the point of throwing herself out when a voice from below called, Halt! Straining her eyes she saw Sir Haddit Boad scaling the wall. It was an almost futile attempt. At length it occurred to Amaryllis to throw an end of the cincture she wore around her waist to him. Exerting her strength she clung to the rope until the knight bounded through the window. Then her endurance gave out and she fell fainting to the floor. Tenderly Sir Boad laid her upon a couch. Going to the door to call in a servant he encountered Sir Bors Somme. With no attention whatever to Sir Boad. he addressed himself to Sir Rodney. How fared you? Very ill! Let us to the hall. SECTION V. Sir Bors. said Sir Haddit Boad. I bring accusation against Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett on the Rocks.” 29 PADUAN State your accusation. It is in this my lord. This letter written by his own hand doth suffice. Sir Boad shook his head over the paper and handed it to his Grace, the Abbott of St. Judes, who opening it read: To his lordship. Richard. Lord Guffaw, from his most humble friend. Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett on the Rocks. You are well aware that to ye I made known some time ago that I desired to take to wife one Lady Amaryllis, niece to Lord Bors Somme. But recently I obtained consent from his lordship to carry the demoisel off. He hath no suspicions however, that, albeit the female is likely enough? I have desire more for her dowry to replenish my money-boxes than to be master of her charms. I have it in my mind to steal her away on her journey to the shrine of Thoman A. Beckct. Of a surety her uncle will put up a goodly show of fight, but I shall be victor. Is't not well-planned? Od’s lifellings! It most slipped my mind—Your brother who asserts himself as Baron Lord Giffaw. accompanies Lady Amaryllis. He shall be taken prisoner an’ ye want him for ransom—for my lady doth treasure him as court fool—An ye be so kind as to make me response quickly I shall be much favored, being then able to continue the plot. With deepest expressions of homage. Sir Rodney Ruckett of Ruckett on the Rocks.'' Thou dastard! Darest thou ask me to wed my niece? Are not her graces enough that ye must needs scheme for money? I shall revenge her! Confine him in the dunjon! But thou. Sir Haddit Boad. in payment for protecting my niece from that coward, shalt have her to thyself an' thou wilt have her. My lord! That I might have thy niece to wife! Ah. my uncle! Thou hast wisely chosen my husband! “There, there! said the noble, soothing the head resting on his bosom. Sith thou art happy. I am. Come, holy Father Abbott and perform the ceremony.” The ceremony was performed forthwith amid the rejoicing of maidens and lackeys and men-at-arms. At the conclusion, the uncle, with tears streaming down his cheeks, joining their hands said. Bless ye. my children!” The court fool, amused by the shyness of the bride, was moved to sing out. Ah. she's shy as a violet by a mossy stone, halfhidden from the eye— So was it when her life began, so is it now. She's found the man. And this is the tale of Sir Haddit Boad and the fair Lady Amaryllis, who were thus married by the good Abbott, and who. according to report lived happily until they had their first misunderstanding.

The moon shone down serenely. Living in a mansion is a drawback especially when one's bedroom happens to be on the second floor and one is not a movie clown, able to fall out of windows and scale walls with no injury to bones. She tiptoed to the door. It squeaked: so she ran back. She tried again and opened it a little more. It squeaked, but opened wide enough for her slight form to slip through. She removed her pumps: decided to carry them. She commenced to tiptoe across the hall looking like some frightened, dainty fairy in her white shimmering gown. Whirr—rr—! Bzz-zz—! Heavens—! She stopped holding her breath! She could not move ! Silence! What if it were a thief opening the safe? (Apparently not very safe then.) At last she reached the top of the stairway and started to descend. Squeak! But at the same time the whizzing and bz-zz-ing grew louder. Thoroughly frightened, she ran back to her room. She stood for a minute holding her hand to her heart. Silence prevailed! Oh! It's only dad snoring. she said to herself. She summoned her courage and tiptoed out again. On the third step the cat was sleeping. Pss-sst! Boom! Boom! boom! She fell down the stairs and sat at the bottom with eyes wide open waiting for the result. But nothing happened. The snoring was louder than ever and could be heard above all the din and noise. Putting on her pumps, she rose, at the same time arranging her hair. Crash! Down fell the pot of flowers! Without waiting for any more to happen she made a wild dash for the door. Crossing the porch, she noticed a car drive up in front of the house. Evidently her cab! But to her amazement she saw two familiar figures get out. Her mother and dad! She had forgotten that they had gone to a party and that it was her bachelor uncle who had been snoring. With a sigh and groan she ran back to her room, softly closed the door, humming. All Through the Night in accompaniment to the chimes of her boudoir clock. She had failed to keep her tryst, but that did not matter now. She was. in fact, rather glad she did not go. Quickly undressing she jumped into bed and fell asleep. Wanda Sled ., 28. Anne Rapacz.

THE TELL TALE MOON I he subtle perfume of roses permeated the soft evening breeze. Everywhere was serenity and stillness broken in only by the sweet notes of a passing breeze rustling the leaves. The big. yellow moon shone down brightly and cast little pools of light on the garden paths. Flowers, flowers everywhere. Trickle, trickle of the huge fountain in the center of which is the figure of Cupid with a bow and arrow. Water lilies and lily-pads floating in the water. On the gravelled path petals dropped by some dainty hand. Who knows? By the fountain the figure of a man and woman. Their hands clasped as if in mutual love that lips cannot utter. Yet the girl seems to be cold and indifferent. She stands looking coldly at the man beside her. In his eyes there is a frozen stare as if put on for the purpose of belying his love. He seems to be stiff and formal. Is this the way of lovers? Who can tell? They utter not a word, but one can see that they were made one for another. Her head is uncovered and her long locks fall to her waist. Perhaps the girl does not know that her hat is almost off. Still they look at each other with not a word spoken between them. He looks very handsome and tall towering above the slight form of the girl. They are standing quite close to each other. Behind them is a bench overgrown with tall roses, but the two are too engrossed to notice it. Theirs must be a lovers' tryst! What thoughts must surge through their minds as they stand thus! The moon coming from behind a silvery cloud shines down directly upon them. The girl’s face looks pale and rather awe-stricken; the man's seems to be carved out of ivory. Alas! The moon reveals that they are nothing more than marble statues. Anne Rapacz. '28. IN THE GARDEN OF THE KING Within the palace of the king, everything was festive, everyone was gay: for tomorrow the king’s youngest daughter would become the bride of the Prince of Arabia. The young princess seemed very gay. too. but as I watched her face grew sad. At length she rose and stole unobserved out into the night. I followed. Broad, fragrant leaves whispered and sighed as the daughter of the king stepped into the garden. Her garments shimmered in the pale rays of the moon as she sank to the moss-covered earth, and rested her head against the gnarled trunk of an ancient tree. The scented narcissus diffused its fragrance to the silvery music of a tiny brooklet. From afar came the song of the nightingale, but she heard it not, for she was thinking, thinking of her dead lover, and of the morrow—her wedding day. The moon lightly touched her face, pale as 32 PADUAN the petal of the water lily, and her hands, delicate as a lotus blossom, clasped before her. She was praying, tears glittering in her eyes and on her cheeks. The breezes hushed, a silver rimmed cloud passed over the face of the moon and I saw no more. Lucille Norton. '28. DUSK ON THE MENDOTA BRIDGE Everything below was quiet and tranquil with the quietness and tran quillity that belongs to early dusk when Mother Nature s children are scarcely asleep. The river that wanders lazily to the southwest, was as calm as the sky arched far above. Everything there was held in a lovely stillness; the slender birches whitely streaked against the dull banks, the tattered sprays of ochre oak leaves that valiantly withstood the cold winds of winter: the broad scrib-blings of mauve shadows along the dim and curving lines of the west shore: all gave the scene a sublime appearance. As I stood in a pensive mood, gazing off to the east watching the lights of the Twin Cities flickering like stars in the sky. a low chug-chug came to my ears, first very faintly but rapidly growing clearer. Soon a dark, black, object slowly moving came into view, like a monstrous reptile winding and curving around the sharp curves of the river banks. As it grew larger and approached nearer, spirits of fire could be seen flying from the head of the demon. Soon it took the shape of a long train, and it passed directly beneath me with a loud rumbling roar, only to disappear off into the distant haze, sending back a faint appealing farewell whistle. My attentions were soon diverted to the rattling bang-bang of one of Ford’s ancient ’’collegiates.’’ groping its way across the broad structure of the bridge. The sound of hilarious voices added greatly to the already unbearable din of the car as it passed by. My gaze once more wandered over and around the wide expanse of nature’s beauty until it finally rested upon the bone sentinel of the picture, a dark black water tower, situated on the crest of the highest cliff. As it stood there gaunt and bare, it seemed to send forth a challenge to the surrounding territory: a challenge to anyone that dare molest its solitude. The sun was slowly sinking lower and lower in the west. The fleet of thin clouds in the north were singed and seared with crimson and the flaring yellow of autumn leaves. Shadows, like pencilings on a brown and crumpled parchment, were streaked down the cliffs and were fast enveloping the river into their midst: and soon all the western sky was burning exultingly with color. The massed clouds grew darker: the shadows heavier: crimson was turned to purple; and the blue to a lovely dove-wing gray. The long curved bridge that extended far on either side of me turned to a ghastly white hue. Everything seemed asleep and loneliness prevailed. The distant echo of the taps, that seemed to ask everyone if he be asleep and if not why not. sounded over the small valley. A fragment of moon blew in with the chillier evening winds, a frail and shining arc against the heavy blue of the sky: and scattering of stars glittered like polished pebbles in the heaven and seemed to add more chill to the already chilly atmosphere. The water tower loomed black and silent now: and the river passed from view except for the reflection of the moon in silver white and the stars of silver, that were faintly visible from the top of the bridge. Soon the loneliness of the evening seemed to call to me a warning to make haste and retire, for tomorrow is another day of school. Murlyne Betzler. '28. 33 Of PADUAN is THH ROMAN LADY The Roman woman attained a position that had never been reached by the women of any other ancient nation. Nowhere else was she respected so highly: her influence for good was remarkably strong. A Roman lady was the queen of her household after her marriage. Besides managing her husband in his business, she received her husband's friends into her home, and took active part in the conversation. On the street the men treated a Roman matron with the utmost respect and courtesy. .The household members sacredly observed her birthday, and the event was the occasion of a joyous festival. The Roman nation celebrated the “Matronalia.” a great festival held in honor of matrons on the first of March. On this occasion, they presented gifts to the matron of their homes. Although the education of women was not at all common in Rome, the Roman women spoke the purest and the finest Latin known. In the classical period the dress of the Roman women was artistically beautiful. The Roman lady wore a long tunic that was open at both sides above the waist and fastened by brooches on the shoulders. There was usually a border of purple around the neck. Her arms were always protected, usually by the long, flowing sleeves of an inner tunic. The sleeves were open on the front of the upper arm and only clasped loosely with lovely brooches or buttons, often of great value. For out-of-door use. the Roman lady used a large, shawl-like wrap, called the palla.” It was draped gracefully in many different fashions. Sometimes it covered the head and fell about the shoulders. The Roman woman was very fond of jewelry. In the jewel casket of the wealthy lady would be found costly rings, brooches, earrings, bracelets and necklaces of artistic workmanship that greatly enhanced their value. Women famed in Roman history for the goodness and beneficent influence of their lives, are: Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi: Julia, wife of the Emperor Severus: Portia, the wife of Marcus Brutus: Terentia. the wife of Cicero: Veturia. the mother of Coriolanus. and Volumnia. his daughter. 34 Minnie Thomas. 28.

When tis moonlight. iMaidens Walk upon balconies grey. While under the balconies Knights do serenade.

Night comes quietly on And envelops all. under her dusky mantle. Majestically followed by the moon Who floods the earth in silver splashes: While jeweled dew-drops rest upon dormant flowers. A glowing campfire throws its beams Far into the eerie night And shadows a fantastic dance enjoy. Intense and filling silence broods o'er. Sometimes broken by the lullaby song of the waters. Now as the last Indian disappears In the West further and further The waters croon no longer melodies But whisper in sad and doleful numbers The tragedy of their departing friends.

SPRING JOYS Smiling a sunny smile At melting snows and trickling streams A feeling of gladness to see the shining mud. And to say farewell to the last snowflake. A feeling of starting Down a long new road: A road of kindness, of youth, of joy. Trying to find some beauty In every little thing. Feeling happy at a bird's new song. Welcoming a cloddish worm So late awakened from its earthy bed. Greeting a lady-bug Just from its winter sleep roused. 39 PADUAN a MY FAVORITE SUBJECT There has never been a subject I have enjoyed more than American History. I don't think there is any story more interesting than the record of the hardships and problems of the early builders of America. To begin the day’s studies with our American History period seems to start the day perfectly. Of course, there are times when we surprise our instructor with startling statements: for instance Four thousand people were killed in the Boston Massacre or Abraham Lincoln was famous because he was simple. However, in some measure we have learned to look at ordinary things from a different viewpoint. We appreciate the struggles tht pioneers underwent to make our present conveniences possible. The wars interested me especially. The Revolution furnished us with many exciting events: among which are Paul Revere s ride, the first Fourth of July, and the Surrender at Yorktown in 1781. What one of us didn’t feel proud to read of our country’s victory? It was in 1776 that our present flag was adopted as our national emblem. Of course, it is the most beautiful in the world, and long may it wave. In our study of the Civil War. we learned that the first man to enlist on the northern side was Rufus King, a Catholic from St. Paul. In the World War. Frank Luke. Jr., the world’s greatest ace. was an American and a Catholic. We were happy to learn that Catholics played an important part in our country’s history. Our respect and admiration for the great men of America increased more than ever. The part woman played in our history is great, too. What interesting or worthy history book could get along without Barbara Frietchie. Dolly Madison. Abigail Adams. Nancy Hart. Betsey Ross or Molly Pitcher? Since we are the future supports of America, we hope that we shall be able to keep up the standards set by these brave men and women of our country. and to keep the stars and stripes waving long over the greatest nation in the world.

I do not like it because of its appearance or comfort, for the chair ,s plain wooden chair, very hard and uncomfortable. But I like the memories joy and pleasure it brings back to me. At my last period there is no one to reprove me. tell me what to do or tell me what not to do. and so it is therefore in reality a period of freedom. Hence I like the typing seat best. I have the view of the whole hall and can see the going-ons and the results. No one disturbs me and I think freely and speak freely. I look forward with great anticipation throughout the day to this favorite seat of mine. I know it will be a happy memory throughout my life. Wanda Sledz. '28. ONE PATH There is one path I love to traverse: that path is the road leading to the lunch room. There is something magnetic about the lunch room that seems to lead me to it. I like this room for it diverts my attention from hard work and tedious hours of torture and suffering.

The road lay before us like a silver ribbon laid on a velvet of green. There was a warm breeze blowing through the trees and the leaves cast grotesque shadows. After walking a short distance we came to a narrow lane which took us into the heart of the woods. Oh. the beauty of the woods in the spring, the violets robed in their lavender dresses, the fragrant odor of apple blossoms. The faint sound of running water attracted us to a babbling brook flowing under a bridge of logs. We sat on the rocks and gazed at the wonderful works of nature. We had taken with us a small book which contained the ‘Life of the Blessed Virgin although we had read it many times we still marveled at the life of one so beautiful. We decided to take Mary for our example and follow close in her footsteps. As we wended our way homeward we were silent and each in her heart was thanking the Almighty for the graces and blessings he had bestowed on us. Marcella Warner. 29. Clara Brombach. '29. A SONNET TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN In her who is our lasting fount of grace Who comforts us when life is hard to bear In her who is our eyes most fair Our love and trust, and confidence, we place. Her altar, with fine linen and rare lace We decorate: and place bright flowers there. But more pleased is she when we gladly bear The daily burdens brought upon Eve’s race. For did not Christ, her ever-blessed Son Bear burdens, which our poor restricted minds Cannot while here on earth e'en comprehend?

When I paused ere my slumber deep. To ask for God’s dear care. “I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” Is the next line in this prayer. Oh. may I travel life’s path so steep Up to heaven so fair. “If I should die before I wake.” For me a terrible thought But something tells me He’d not forsake His child for whom He died. “I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

Eleanor Volker, JO. 46 THE LITTLE VOICE When I was a little girl of four years, one fine day in the Spring my father led me by the hand to a distant part of the farm, but as he was going too far for me to walk, he sent me home alone. On the way I had to pass a little pond-hole.'' then spreading its water wide. A violet in full bloom, a rare flower in my neighborhood, attracted my attention and drew me to the spot where it peeped up its pretty face. A little distance from the violet I saw a spotted turtle sunning himself in the shallow water at the foot of a flaming shrub. I lifted the stick I had in my hand to strike the harmless turtle: for though I had never killed any creature. I had seen other girls and boys destroy birds, squirrels and snakes out of sport and I felt a desire to follow their example. But all at once something checked my arm. and a voice clear and loud within me said. It is wrong. I held my uplifted stick in wonder at the voice, the consciousness of an inward check upon my actions, till the turtle and violet both vanished from sight. I hastened home and told the tale to my mother, asking what it was told me I was wrong. She wiped a tear from her eye and taking me in her arms she said. Some men call it conscience, but I prefer to call it the voice of God in the soul. If you listen to it and obey it. then it will speak clearer and clearer, and always guide you right. But if you turn a deaf ear and disobey it. it will fade out little by little and leave you in darkness and without a guide. Your life depends upon heeding this little voice. I went off to wonder and to think it over in my poor childish way. bui I am sure no other event in my life has made so deep an impression on me. 47 Nell O'Gara, 50. tf PADUAN as MARY She was like a lily So lovely and frail Graced with modesty and shyness T he sweet breath of roses was ever around her.

Whether tis nobler in the mind to be One of those short-haired flappers. Or to take arms against a union of barbers: And by opposing them, end the short-haired craze? To grow: to bob no more: and by growing to say We save a lot of money that the barbers Would otherwise fall heir to! Tis a question That is hard to answer. To grow, let grow. And grow: perchance to have a pug: Ay there's the rub: For when our hair is long what styles may come When we have let it grow to shoulder length Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of such long hair: For who would bear to have her hair in ugly braids In little funny curls or in a crimpy wave. And listen to the mocking jests of those Who do not choose to let theirs grow so long. The dread of styles that may replace the bob. Puzzles our will and makes us rather bear The silly styles we have this present day Than fly to future ones we know not of.

MARGARET McGuiRE The chemistry club of Saint Anthony School is composed of energetic girls. The purpose of this club is to promote an interest in the subject of chemistry by activities outside of the regular class work. In studying chemistry closely we can find but very few things that are not related to chemistry in one way or another. The study of the relationship of chemistry to everyday life makes us see things in a different light. We have prepared a card index which makes it much easier to find articles for topics when needed. During the preparation of this card index we obtained an insight into the large amount of literature at hand bearing on the relationship of chemistry to industry. Mary Wagner. 29.

One of the minor aims of the Club is to know the names of the plants in our own immediate vicinity. We are trying to know the names of the trees and of the shrubs and of the herbs in and around Minneapolis. This object can be attained best by visiting these plants in their natural habitats. We try to do this. Of course, we are obliged to bring some to the laboratory for dissection. Sometimes we are very much averse to picking the beautiful flowers apart, but this must be done in order to classify them with any degree of accuracy. Another minor aim of our Club is to enjoy the plant world. The greatest aim of the Botany Club is to learn to love God better each day.

Below are stated some of her secrets of old. and how they were made. The famous “schouda.” the white cream of the “Arabian Nights.” which tinged the cheeks ot women with a faint flush, was made of benzoin and pomade of jasmine. Its modern counterpart has almond oil for its basis. The celebrated batikha. that whitening powder used in the Egyptian harems, is made by crushing cowrie shells in a mortar with borax, rice, white marble, crystal, tomato, lemons, eggs, and a bitter Egyptian seed called helbas. to which are added the flour of beans, peas and lentils. The whole is put into a melon, mixed with the pulp and seeds, then exposed to the sun and reduced to a fine powder. Venetian ladies of long ago whitened their hands with a pomade compounded from lilies-of-the-valley and clarified lard. In Queen Elizabeth's day the favorite face cream was prepared from the pulp of apples mixed with rose water and hog's grease. The pulp of apples mixed with almonds was often made into a paste for the complexion with bread crumbs, equal quantities of rose water and white wine, and the addition of a small amount of soap. Cecilia Frances Dion. 'll. THE SEASONS Spring comes with buds and flowers Nestling’s learning in the bowers. The brooks begin their silent murmuring. And cattle o’er the fields are roaming.

We marvel at the patient skill that wrought such matchless art. At man's endurance, day by day. through storm, through cold, through heat: Through fall of snow, all chill and gray, or when fierce sunbeams beat. But. greatest wonder woven there about that palace tall. Than beauty or than art more rare, the vision back of all! The vision that could see those walls in peerless splendor rise. Could map those lovely courts and halls, those graceful balconies: Greater than patient toil or skill that made this marble gleam. This is the matchless marvel still, the vision and the dream'. I suppose you are wondering what this has to do with botany. I vision many beautiful things while studying botany, and also have many pretty dreams. No. not day dreams, for if I had the habit of dreaming in class I would have long since been rejected. The knowledge I am storing from botany is like a beautiful dream palace. This dream is helping me to glide with ease over things I encounter during every-day life. I don't endure through all the weather, but rather stay behind. Althought I think that after a while I’ll grasp the subject: mind?

PADUAN if FLEUR DE LIS CLUB OFFICERS President............................ANNE RAPACZ Vice President - ElLEEN DOHERTY Secretary .... LILLIAN PRENEVOST Treasurer .... ELIZABETH CARTER The aim of the French Club of Saint Anthony High is to give the students an opportunity to use the French language and also to enable them to become better acquainted with French customs and French literature. The club meetings are held every second Thursday of the month. They consist of roll call, reading of minutes in French, a short program, games, and luncheon. Roll call is answered by the name of a French verb, French occupation, French ruler or anything which requires the use of the French language. In September the President appointed committees of three, each committee to take charge of one program during the year. The programs consist of musical selections, dramatizations of scenes from the text books, and recitations of dialect poems. Two of the most interesting games were “Quelque Chose de Precieux and Quelle Celebrite Est-ce?” In the first game a prize was given secretly to one of the girls. The one who asked the fifteenth question of the girl who had the prize became the owner of it. Marie Hall asked the lucky fifteenth question. In the second game names of prominent men and women were written on slips of paper and pinned on the back of the girls' dresses. Then the girls were to find out whom they represented by asking questions in French. Eileen Doherty as AI Smith won first prize, and Ruth Mauren as Calvin Cool-idge won second prize. At the December meeting little bags were made by the girls and filled with candy, nuts and fruits, for the children of the first grade. I he children in return showed their appreciation by designing blotters for each member of the French Club. While this was a slight digression from our absolute aim. we felt that little acts of charity would add to our mental content and also bring the spiritual touch into our Fleur De Lis Club.

PADUAN THE CICERONIANS President.....................DOROTHY MYERS Vice President - - - BERNICE WAGNER Treasurer.....................MINNIE THOMAS Secretary .... CATHERINE MOORE Motto: Ad astra per asperu. Never have I enjoyed the study of Latin as I have enjoyed studying Cicero. The class, juniors and seniors, have formed a most interesting club: it would attract the bitterest enemy of Cicero. Every Thursday a few girls entertain, a Latin program is given. Latin games are played, and prizes are rewarded to the lucky winners. The game we all enjoy most is the Latin card game. The game is followed by a delicious lunch. Over the teacups we chat in a friendly way for about an hour. I have been to many clubs but this one attracts me most. Besides being a pleasure it is a help in studying Latin. We all look forward to the appointed T hursday so enthusiastically that we do not notice the days of Latin struggle passing. My wish is to study Cicero forever and always enjoy these get-together meetings. Dorothy Myers. '28. CICERO Cicero, as we all know. Did drive out Cataline. And his orations on this point With Is and me's do shine. His favorite words it always seems. Are these. Oh Happy We. Unless in anger he declares. I'm right by Hercule. 59 Marie Hall. 28. PADUAN ON THE STUDY OF CICERO If there is any genius of oratory in us. classmates, and we ourselves know that that gift is ours in no small degree, or if we have any skill in talking, and in that no one—not even any of our teachers—will say that we are deficient; or if the faculty of discourse seems to be over well developed in us. friends: then certainly the study of Marcus Tullius Cicero by its own just right ought to hold the first place among all our studies in producing and developing this gift in us. For as far as our minds can look back over past years and recall the memories of our early high school days, we see that the example of that most fluent orator has been the inspiration and the incentive to almost continuous speaking. And if these voices of ours have been at times the causes of wrath to some, and of irascibility to others, and the cause of much tapping on the desk to still others, undoubtedly we ought, as far as lies in us, to give the credit of all this to him whom the world proclaims as eloquence itself. And if we have consumed almost all our days and nights in the exercise of our vocal organs, so that we may say with modesty that no class in high school can surpass us in a continuous flow of speech, then certainly we ought to use this gift to enable those who come after us to attain to this same skill in which we exult and triumph. Moreover, lest there be those who think that the study of Tullius would require much concentration of thought, since a report of that nature has been spread abroad and has received some credence, let us assume, then, that such is not the case. All such reports have been spread by his enemies. We. who know, hereby assure all timid students that much skill in talking and very little skill in thinking may be acquired in the study of Cicero. Let us assure them that we have never been wholly devoted to the reading of Cicero: but in a great measure our success has been due to the wise and judicious handling of our ponies; on which small and hidden creatures we do confess we have ridden over many difficult and unknown ways. From this affair itself fellow students may derive knowledge common to the initiated. For. in truth, all the students who attempt to handle ponies have a common bond and are bound to one another as it were by a certain kinship. Thus, briefly, classmates, we have tried to speak with you of the study of Cicero. Minnie Thomas. 28. Benille Gordon. 28.

I think, because it is so different from any of our other subjects. It requires action—a great deal of action and there is enough of the little girl left in all of us to enable us to enjoy the running, jumping, setting up exercises and games. Perhaps it appeals to the vanity in us. I think we also enjoy it because of the competition which is aroused in us in the various games—and last but far from the least, this subject requires no preparation. Gymnasium is different because we can come to class with a free and easy air. One is sure of not being called on and thus disclosing one’s ignorance. The change from school clothes to regulation gymnasium suits also gives us a sense of freedom and relaxation. Even if a person is the type that does not excel in other classes, she can often excel in gymnasium. The marching to music— the rhythm — all make an appeal to us—and running— practicing with the basketball make a lively hour. Our time goes all too quickly. After sitting for a couple of hours we find that the gymnasium work, with its action, which comes in the middle of the day. gives us a pleasant relief and we are usually willing to be very quiet the hour following gymnasium. 65 PADUAN Vanity plays its part. too. in the work. We try to live up to the ideals of correct posture. Some of the exercises would seem tedious were it not for our inward hope that, as a result, we shall acquire a firm step and a graceful walk. We have competition in the games we play. The class is divided into two or more teams and each tries hard to win. We all like to feel the thrill of victory. Sometimes we play running games and sometimes we use the ball. At any rate we get very much excited when our side wins. Even the timid girl forgets her shyness in gymnasium and becomes excited. She feels herself a part of the work and in this way she tends to conquer her timidity. Nearly everybody dislikes to prepare a subject. We would all like much better to go to our history. English, or French classes if we didn’t have to study beforehand. In gym we don’t have to think of preparation, and so we can go to class with a gay and confident air. A little attention, a little care; a happy hour is assured us. Eileen Doherty, 19. Marie Growe. 30. A TRAGEDY Thirty-six gay students. Burdened with English books. Sought from this their freedom. To brighten up their looks. A conspiracy was started To overthrow this rule Of compelling diligent students To study English in school. E’en working all together. Twas very hard to do. For the teacher did oppose it. As the pupils thought she'd do. Thirty-six discouraged students. Carried English books that night, Home to study late that evening With all their earnest might. 66 Margaret O'Neill, '30. PADUAN MARDI GRAS A galaxy of costumes, bizarre, eccentric, picturesque.—what you will. The wearers fluttered about, some dancing, others standing about in groups representing many climes. A bold, bad pirate danced with a delicate maiden of the early American colonies. while a sedate old maid wasn’t made off with. A widowed Spanish senora. under the chaperonage of a maiden lady of some years, strolled by with a pretty “grandma’’ dressed in black, exchanging gossip with Mother Goose. To be sure, there was a lovely little nurse all in white to care for the ill. She was so lovely that many of the girls pretended illness just to get her attention. A Chinese Mandarin escorted little Bo-Peep through a dance. Clowns capered about with delightful ladies ever in danger of tripping in their skirts. There couldn't have been a more perfect Mardi Gras. The auditorium was decorated in festive colors. Gay balloons were tossed from the stage by the seniors. Bernice McConville the chairman called for impromptu entertainment. Classes and individuals responded generously. A happy clown. Lucille Norton, sang. The dramatic juniors contributed their numbers: the sophomores showed great ability in dancing and singing: the lively freshmen put on a playlet. “His Lesson. The entertainment was true to form to the Mardi Gras of traditions. Dancing and refreshment closed the Mardi Gras of 1928. Doris Plante. Bertille Gordon. 67 PADUAN AN INFORMAL TALK ON AN INTERESTING TRIP On the morning of April twenty-fourth, we spent an hour with our pastor, Reverend Father Wilbee. in which he recounted for us his trip to Cuba. The following is a brief resume of his informal lecture. All the southern cities and towns are built on the same plan. They are each centered on or about a park or plaza which covers a square block.' Across the street from this park is the main church or cathedral of the town. Santiago. Haiti, an especially interesting place, is built on this plan. However, it is a very dirty city. After walking a few blocks one is covered with a film of fine white dust. Because of this white dust, and also because of extreme heat, the inhabitants dress in white. As we looked down the street, we beheld a very peculiar sight. These people carry their heaviest burdens in large baskets on their heads. You can imagine how queer it looks; all these heads bobbing up and down. It is surprising how much these native women can carry. They not only have heavy burdens on their heads but also on their backs. Their children as soon as they are old enough are burdened with heavy loads. In this town there is a public fountain where all the native women take their packs of laundry to wash it. On interviewing their archbishop. I learned that it is customary of the natives to take their children to the archbishop to kiss his signet ring. On entering their cathedral I soon discovered that they prayed aloud, each with his or her arms extended horizontally in a most beseeching manner. The statues are of beautiful hand-carved wood. These are much more beautiful than ours. In these towns you do not get as much as a glimpse of the higher class of people. They send their servants to do the marketing or to do any other necessary work. Alvina Phillippi. ‘29. A VISIT TO THE HOLY LAND On April twenty-third. Reverend Father Reardon gave the high school students an inspirational and instructive lecture on his visit in Jerusalem. It is a lecture long to be remembered. THE ORIENTALS' CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCIENCE On April twenty-seventh, the students assembled in the auditorium to hear Doctor Kuen Tsiang. B. S.. M. S.. M. D. His talk was on the Orientals’ contributions to science. We spent a very profitable and pleasant hour. THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON The Reverend Walter Slcdz delivered the sermon at the baccalaureate services held in St. Anthony’s Church at three o’clock on June third. His subject was The Catholic Church and Education.’’ 68 PADUAN THE FRESHMAN RECEPTION The first social event of the school year was a welcome party for the new Freshman Class. The forty-seven eager girls were initiated into our school. Following the initiation a grande marche was conducted to the banquet table. The girls were entertained by their elder sisters with a song fest: The latter part of the pleasant evening was spent in dancing. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET One of the outstanding features of the school year is the Junior-Senior Banquet. The one night of the year when juniors and seniors get together and make merry. It happened so on May twenty-fourth. 1928. when the juniors entertained the seniors at the Leamington. After dinner the girls returned to the school auditorium and were entertained by a playlet given by the juniors. Frequently giggles were heard in the audience. As to whether they were giggles of disgust or giggles of joy we have not been informed. But merry were the players. After the play the girls danced to the tune of many a popular piece. The ball was soon over and all declared they had a most interesting time. The color scheme of the dinner was in blue and white. Among the honored guests were Father Wilbee. Mrs. McDonald and Miss McCarthy. The following served on the various committees: Chairman—Miss Mary Wagner. Entertainment—Alvina Phillippi. Loretta Gerlich. Margaret Murray. Verena Arrell. Natalie L. HerauIt. Marguerite Richardson. Mary Wagner. Dorothy Peterson. Dorothy Peterson. ' 19. THE FRESHMEN VALENTINE PARTY The Freshman Class ended the pre-Lenten season with an enjoyable Valentine Party. Every detail savoured of the Valentine spirit: the tables were arranged in the form of a huge heart: the decorations, kindly furnished by Lorraine Villeaux. were hearts and cupids: the favors were hearts, and even the refreshments were Valentine in form and color. Irene Heinzen was Lady Valentine.” She wore a dress of white tulle: the skirt was covered with tiny hearts: a red headdress completed the costume. She was a charmingly generous Valentine Queen, for she had beautiful Valentines for each and every one. Mary Elizabeth Doherty and Patricia O'Neill gave some appropriate readings: Marguerite Gerlich danced a dashing Gypsy dance, and Cecilia Dion with a number of the girls gave a Valentine sketch. Games concluded the freshmen's pre-Lenten social season. Grace Mulcahy. '31. PADUAN THURSDAY MORNING PARTIES The Senior Class sponsored a series of bunco and card parties which were held on Thursday mornings from eleven to one o’clock in the school auditorium. The girls from the other classes and the eighth grade boys and girls attended the parties. Prizes for the highest score and a door prize were given at each party. The Freshmen Class took great delight in carrying home all the prizes. These parties brought about some enjoyable results: the money was used to defray school expenses: these jolly recesses enabled the girls to become better acquainted. A SOPHOMORE AFTERNOON One of the great social activities of the year was the Sophomore Party. It is a real joy for the entertainment committee to plan a program for a sophomore party because we have so many gifted, talented girls who respond generously when asked to help make an hour pass pleasantly. We enjoyed every number of the auditorium-program. Then the refreshments! Chow mein! After dancing to merry music we went home at four o'clock declaring that the Sophomore Class at S. A. H. is the jolliest. best class in the world. Evelyn Ryan, ’JO. SCHOOL SPIRIT The High School department showed its true school spirit in doing its share for the parish bazaar. Tickets, on a beautiful walnut cedar-lined hope chest and its contents, were sold by the score. The hope chest booth was independent of all other booths and its revenue was a credit to the girls. Mary Agnes Ellis. 28. LIBRARY BOOKS The following books were added to the library during the past year: Encyclopedia Brittanicae. purchased from the funds of the Eighth Grade class play: Americana: Stoddard’s Lectures, ten volumes: Nature Studies, five volumes: America. Source Book, ten volumes: several volumes donated by Mrs Frank Mulcahy: several volumes given by Agnes Ellis. 70 u PADUAN TWO BIOLOGY EXCURSIONS Our botany class took a very interesting trip to the Public Library on Thursday. March first. We enjoyed to our surprise the aligator. snakes, bats. Gila monsters and even the white mice. Another trip of equal merit was to the Biology Museum at the University. We spent two profitable and enjoyable hours viewing the artistic mounts of birds and animals and plants. Doctor Kilgore was most generous with his time. He had several reels run off for us and he explained them to us. We are very grateful to him. PADUAN DAY Is Paduan Day a legal holiday? Is it just as important to us as the Fourth of July? What does Paduan Day mean to us? It is a day set aside for the students of St. Anthony High School to meet for an hour and enjoy discussing the ‘Paduan ’: its plan, its literary contributions, its contributors, and its advertising department. Paduan Day falls on every other Tuesday of each month, and it is just as important to us as the Fourth of July is to the nation. 1 like Christmas. I enjoy Thanksgiving Day. I appreciate Arbor Day. but give me Paduan Day to hold and cherish securely in my memory. Bernadette Dillon, 28. A RED LETTER DAY On April thirtieth ten seniors took the state examinations at the University of Minnesota. We were assembled in the auditorium of the Engineering Building. There were five hundred or more boys and girls from the high schools of the city that took the examinations. From ten o’clock until twelve-thirty we were given tests in psychology. When we finished that series of tests we were dismissed for lunch. We girls had our lunch at Shevlin Hall and then we walked around and explored the campus. The big buildings awed us. the vast throng of students astounded us. and the countless collegiate Fords amused us. At two o’clock we resumed our tests in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. This series of tests was by far the harder of the two and we were most thankful when time was up and we were dismissed for the day. I am sure the day will remain indelibly in our minds for many years to come. We experienced the great thrill of entering university buildings and taking examinations that had haunted us as ghosts for weeks before the event. Mary Aynes Ellis. 28. 71 PADUAN MRS. THEODOSIA CROSSE March fourth marks in our memory one of the happiest days of our happy days at St. Anthony. Mrs. Crosse came to spend a Shakespearean Hour with us. She makes us appreciate Shakespeare's dramas, otherwise rather heavy to us. Again she came in the spring to give us six wonderfully helpful lectures on social usage. We are truly grateful that we have an instructor in Minneapolis who is so well prepared to teach such a difficult subject. SCENARIO DRAWN FOR CITY PAGEANT In the city-wide Diamond Jubilee pageant. June 25. 26 and 27. Scene One. according to the outline from the scenario, falls to the first ward. The time of the scene is 1680. It pictures the arrival of Father Hennepin and Arguelle. After portaging a light birch-bark canoe around Saint Anthony Falls, they name them.

THE MOTHERS’ CLUB We owe a debt of thanks to the Mothers’ Club, not only for its kindly generous spirit towards the school and all its activities, but also for its financial assistance during the past year. The club has paid one hundred dollars to the school nurse, and twenty-five dollars towards the debt of the new piano for the gymnasium. Several members of the club gave the school a greatly needed aid to make the paper sale a success. We extend our gratitude to them. The club has a most efficient group of officers, namely: Mrs. James Irving. president: Mrs. W. T. Hoy. vice president: Mrs. Walter Peterson, secretary: and Mrs. A. W. Smith, treasurer. A RARE GIFT At the close of a visit to the capitol building. Governor Christianson presented our school with an autographed picture of himself. We feel greatly honored. BOYS’ POLICE CORPS As we go to press the good news comes to us that we are to form a Boys' Police Corps of eight school-police. We feel that this is an honor conferred upon the school, and we are grateful to our patrons who obtained this privilege for us. 72 n PADUAN -ts THE CLASS PLAY THE CAST OF CHARACTERS The Duke Orsino _______ Malvolio The Countess Olivia Viola Sebastian Sir Toby Belch Sir Andrew Aguecheek Maria Fabian Feste, the clown Curio Valentine Antonio A Sea Captain Ladies, attendants to Olivia Lords, attendants to the duke First Officer Second Officer Ann Piekarczyk Doris Plante Dorothy Miesen Agnes Ellis Cecelia Tracy Bernice McConville Lucille Norton Bernadette Dillon Bertille Gordon Susanna Keller Anne Rapacz Wanda Sledz Melynda Gmach Dorothy Myers Ruby May Gregory.

The Quality of Math The quality of math, is strained: It droppeth not as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the minds beneath: It is twice difficult: It is hard for him that teaches And harder for him that learns. Tis hardest in the hardest: It becomes the high school student Better than her finery. The student's work shows the force of Intellectual power. Wherein doth lie the fear and Dread of failures: But math, is above our limited knowledge: It is enthroned in the minds of the learned: It is an attribute of the teacher herself: And the student's intellectuality doth then Show likest the teacher's When math, exams he conquers. 94 PADUAN a GRADUATES OF EIGHTH GRADE Elizabeth Abdo Glorinda Brama Mary Brown Robert Burke Gertrude Chezik John Crowley Dolores Carl bom Georgean Cloutier Lucille Doll Bernadine Duede John Dcj-j Edward Erler Faith Freeman Veronica Fabian Helen Garbett Mary Ann Genosky Evelyn Garritty Ina ligen John Ingenhutt Bernice Long Ellen McPartland Barbara McDermott Edward Mulcahy Lucille Pierro Donald Peterson Alida Plante Dolores Ryan Harold Reinert Eleanor Simon Eva Tupa Mary Vargo Howard Murphy PRIZE FOR PERFECT ATTENDANCE Awarded to Dolores Ryan PRIZE FOR COURTEOUS DEPORTMENT Awarded to Dolores Carlbom and Edward Erler PRIZE FOR SCHOLARSHIP Awarded to Robert Emmet Burke SCHOLARSHIP TO ST.
