Thus does Shakespeare depict, by contrast, the beauty of a mind musically inclined. As music is important to a good man, so is expression necessary to excellent music. In orchestra work particularly, the effect produced is dependent on the feeling and ability of the members to carry out the very spirit of the composer in their treat- ment of each selection. The great symphony orchestras appearing in some of the country's best theatres, enhance the beauty and further the coloring of their selec- tions by an electrical setting. As the orchestra becomes enraptured in a niagnanimous crescendo, the lights become brighter and of a vivid hue. Again, when the musicians gradually sink to a mellow diminuendo, the lights. as if attached to the very souls of the musicians, soften. This psychological arrangement has a decided effectg it reveals to the auditors, an insight into the soul of music. The production of such a re- action is the aim of the Saint Gabriel Orchestra. Doius MCKENNA, '26. OUR MEDICAL ADVISORS The school was fortunate in obtaining the medical advice of three prominent physicians: Drs. john j. Corrigan, William V. Coyle and James A. Corrigan. By giving a series of lec- tures on the various phases of hygiene and phy- sical education, they imparted much valuable information concerning these most important topics. Their zealous efforts and successful Work is greatly admired and appreciated by the stu- dents, the faculty and all those in any way con- nected with our High School MARGARET A. MCNERTNEY, '26. The Senior Class extends its sympathy to Catherine Burke, '26, on the death of her father, 'lohn W. Burke, who departed this life January 13, of the current year. T721

.Ql i 1 The TRUMPET l Q.. U Last Will cmd Testament Ii, THE Commercial Seniors of '26, are about to depart from this, our beloved St. Gabriel's, and venture forth to seek our fortune in various ways, to reap as we have sown, with an overflowing love for our Alma Mater, and devotion to our beloved Sister and companions, we do hereby publish this, our last Will and Testainent. VVe relinquish to those we leave behind many secrets, we entrust to them many treasures, and bequeath to them many pleasant times, which we can retain only in the web of memory. To the class of 1927 we leave our motto, lixcelsior, which, if lived up to, will bring them great success. To Grace Ferry, Catherine Czarick leaves all the mirrors in her possession, as Catherine will be'out in the business world and will not be able to look at herself as often as she did dur- ing the shorthand period. Helen Morris bequeaths to Robert Oakes her shorthand book which she knows will be greatly appreciated by him. Isabel McCann leaves that friendly way which so becomes her to any junior who desires it. Mary Farrell wills her beautiful marcel to llelen Heaney and hopes that the storms of her Senior year will have no effect on the waves. Norah Boyle bequeaths to joseph McFadden, her rate of speed in everything. fBe careful, bloseph, or you may break Norah's great recordj.

To the rest of the juniors we bestow the task the tables which of dusting and straightening they will find necessary more than once a day. To our beloved teacher we leave our parting gift-gratitude-gratitude for her patience, her labor and her example. United under the colors of green and gold, we give from the fullness of our hearts, our love, our admiration and our appreciation, and the fervent promise of con- tinual devotion and fidelity to the high and cherished ideals of the Sisters of Mercy.

The TRUMPET - I 1 1 Our Alumni E UO not feel that the Trumpet would be complete unless we reserved a space for onr Alumni, for after all, they who have gone before us, have prepared the way that we might follow. Our school is, we are sure, as dear to them as it is to us and they will be glad to know that we are progressing and have a place in our memories for them. Our Alumni have won renown wherever they have gone and thus have done much to promote the welfare of St. GalJriel's. Many have entered the holy priesthood, the religious state, and others have distinguished themselves in business and in professions. We hope that they may continue in all their noble works and win honor for themselves and for St. Gabriel's. Therefore we bid them farewell until the morrow, when the class of twenty-six will take its place beside them. May we be as successful, creditable, and true as they and bring honor and glory to our School and to our Divine Maker.

JORDAN. A Poor Man's Chances T is said nowadays that poor men have not the chances that they once had. There is no doubt about the fact that the man who succeeds in the twentieth century will have larger ability and greater faith and stronger purpose than the successful man of the nineteenth century, but it does not follow that he will require more money. The poor boy has ten chances to secure the necessary educational training to one chance offered the poor boy of fifty years ago. The opportunity always makes the man. He can measure up to the requirements if he has the purpose and ability to do so. A well-known American humorist puts the poor man's chances in a very favorable light as follows: The poor man takes all the chances. We must curtail his chances, and give the rich man a chance. But for the poor man, this world would have cast anchor 6,000 years ago, and be covered with moss and lichens to-day, like a United States man-of-war. Edgar Allen Poe was the son of a strolling player, George Peabody was a boy in a small grocery, Benjamin Franklin, the printer, was the son of a tallow chandler, John Adams was the son of a poor farmer, Gifford, the first editor of the Quarterly Review, was a common sailor, Hen Jonson, rare Ben Jonson, was a brick layer, the father of Shakespeare couldn't spell and couldn't write his own name, even his illustrious son couldn't spell it twice alike, Robert Burns was a child of poverty, the eldest son of seven children, the family of a bank- rupt, Garfield was a boy of all work, too poor to have a regular trade, Grant was a tanner, Lincoln a keel boatmanand common farm hand, and the Prince of Wales is the son oft a Queen. It is his misfortune, not his fault, he couldn't help it, and he can't help it now. Hut you see, my dear boy, that's all there is of him, he's just the Prince of Wales, and he's only that because he can't help it. Be thankful, my son, that you weren't born a prince, be glad that you did not strike twelve the first time. If there is a patch on your knee and your elbows are glossy, there is some hope for you, but never again let me hear you say that the poor man has no chance. True, a poor lawyer, a poor doctor, a poor printer, a poor Workman of any kind, has no chance, he deserves to have none, but the poor man monopolizes about all the chances there are.
