. . . HOW DEAR T0 MY HEART ARE THE SGENES . . . High above the hum of city traffic and away from the voices of people busy with every day iviiig, two stone pillars mark the entrance to a world far removed from the one below. They usher in a Franciscan world where nature's beau- ties are constant reminders of our Little Father, St. Francis. ln all seasons our hilltop is beautiful. Septem- ber welcomes us back with its autumn colors, December brings us its white blanket and ice or skating on the pond while spring ushers in Joy at the sight o green things waking and white blos soms smiling The cherry trees in blossom, the trees in the orchard laden with snow, the weeping willow trees reflecting their splendor in the pond, the statues of the Blessed Mother, Saint loseph, and Saint Francis guarding all who linger within these boundaries, the tiny white bridge overlooking the pond, girls sitting in the swing enjoying the outdoors and hating to think of the bell which would summon them back to class these are the campus scenes Qcademy girls will remember long after the alumnae has claimed them to herself forever
