THE FRANCESCA Ilmen gewiss nicht zu sagen das wir nicht auf einen Platz blieben. Wir haben alles gesehen was ansehen wert war. Die Seefahrt war prachtvoll, und als wir urn elf uhr in New Port ankamen waren wir recht hurigrich. In Newport war eine Schwester die wir kannten und die wir an eine lange zeit nicht gesehen hatten; jetzt war unsere grosse Gelegenheit dazu. Wir machten unseren Weg zum Kloster, und sehr war die Yerwunderung der lieben Mutter als sie neun wohlbekannte Gesichter sah. Das wir willkom-men waren nahm uns nicht eine sehr lange zeitauszufinden. Wir wurden herzlich emfangen, und angenehm war die Stunde die da verging. Nun gingen wir sogleich ans Gestade, wo wir unsere Er-frishungen assen. Eine von uns hatte eine Camera, und so wurden alle unsere Rilder genommen. Wir gingen fur eine zeit am Ufer herum, und bald wurden wir mude. Wir nahmen eine Droschke und haben solch ein Vergnugen gehabt das wir nie vergessen wer-den. Wir sind um die Stadt herum gefahren, haben die schone Platze angesehen, und jetzt dachten wir das es bald zeit war wieder nach Providence zurtick zufahren. Wir gingen ins Pchiff und es dauerte nicht lang bis wir fort fuhrten. Jetzt fmg eine audere gute zeit an. obschon wir sehr mude waren. Wir gingen oben auf im Schiffe und erzahlten Gesch-ichten und sangen welche Lieder die wir in und aus der Schule gelerut hatten. Langsam, aber zu schnell fur uns kamen wir wieder Heim. Es war gegen acht uhr als wir wieder bei-unsere Beliebten waren. Dieses Abenteuer war unser erstes, aber, lasset uns hoffen, nicht das letzte. Mann sagt das ein guter Aufang kein schlechtes ende macht. Unsere Reise ist eine der vergangenheit in ihrem Vorkom-men, aber ihre Andenken wird stets unter den angenehmsten Erinnerungen unser gluckliche Schulzeit auf Saint Xavier’s sein. 27 GERTRUDE A.

THE FRANCESCA and acquaintances have a right to expect much from us. If there be any to hold up a high standard of Christian life in the parishes of the diocese, they are, beyond a doubt, the young lady graduates, the alumnae of St. Xavier’s. When, therefore, we exhort one another, in our class motto to scatter the flowers of virtue, we are only inciting ourselves to what should be, to what is expected from us. It is hoped that not one of us will ever fall short of the beautiful ideal embodied in “Disseminemus flores virtutis.” Through love for our Alma Mater, as well as through family pride and self-respect, we shall, with Heaven's blessing, approach as near as possible to the standard set forth in our motto. Of each one in the class of ’06. which is numbered as the fifty-fourth class which has bid its sad farewell to the dear “old” convent of Mercy, may it be possible for some future historian of St. Xavier's Alumnae to record. “Dissem-inaverunt omnium flores virtutum.

Es war im frohligen Monat Juni in deni jahr 1905. gerade als die Scliule fur die Ferien geschlossen war. Wir freuten uns auf dem neun und zwansigsten, den wir dacbten kam nie. Aber er kam doch und der Sonnenschein dabei. Um acht uhr morgens versamnielten wir, und jetzt fur eine grosse zeit. Nun aber habe ich noch. nicht gesagt wohin wir gehen woll-ten.

THE FRANCESCA ADDRESS TO UNDERGRADUATES. Y children, listen and you shall hear the farewell wisdom of the most renowned and glorious class that ever graced this school! Four long years we have honored it with our presence and we have tried to imprint upon your minds the absolute necessity of following our example. We have been disappointed in our efforts, but, as with age grows wisdom, now we know that we were ever an exception. Who could work such wonders? Who could do what we have done? In triumph we answer,—none but ourselves. To you, the coming seniors, we desire to offer a little advice, and we hope that you will strive to the best of your scanty abilities to occupy our places, although, of course, we realize that you can never attain to the sublime heights which we have reached. We deem it not necessary to allude to the question of evading lessons, or extending the study periods, for you. we must acknowledge, are masters of the art. We hope to see in the next year that decorous and modest deportment of which we have always given so brilliant and illustrious an example and which you so sadly lack. Concerning the entertainments we would say a word, those which you will attempt to produce instead of our most notable performances. Well, little ones, do the best you can. and if your audiences do not shower you with the flattery you crave, try not to be down-hearted and jealous, because they have been elevated by our select talents to a higher standard than your poor exertions can ever hope to climb. The future juniors we charge to try to follow slowly the steps that we have traced and to aspire to the laurels that we have won. We command you to show to your seniors a trifle more respect than they have shown to theirs, but while we warn you to be careful of your manner, you need not, for a moment, 28
