RIMES AND CHIMES Be, little volume, our message to everyone, Tell what we know and what we have done; Of our joy and our elation; Be the broadcasting station. And prove that our victory is very well won. Carry our love and our thanks to the faculty. Thank them for helping us, showing their charity: Speak of our reverence. For their benevolence. Tell them we're leaving today our fond loyalty. Yes. 54 hearts we are leaving to-day: Assure them we give them, forever and aye: Announce our departure, but tell them we capture The luminous banner of Old S. X. A. Margaret M.

HAIL TO THE KING! The Vicar of Our Lord Divine Proclaims: “Through all lands ring— Our Holy Church shall henceforth keep The feast of Christ, the King!” A King! But where His Kingdom find? Where shall we seek His throne? Here in this great America. Or in some land unknown? Shall crown or precious jewels rare. Encircle this King's brow? And shall these lustrous, sparkling gems His Royalty endow? Ah. not upon a jeweled throne. Nor robed in royal red. Shall we this King of Glory find— But where His Blood was shed. His Kingdom is the Hearts of Men: His crown, a wreath of thorns: His palace, 'tis the Holy Rood, Whereon our sins He mourns. O Christ, Our King Immortal, Hail! All Hail. Our King Divine, Eternal King of Glory, Reign! Our love, henceforth, is Thine. Mary A.
