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.

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

The TR UMPET Q.- GOOD JUDGMENT Good judgment correctly measures all the prevail- ing conditions in a pupil's daily work and prompts the right action at the right time. No matter how much a pupil may know, if he docs not exercise his knowledge with a good comprehension of all that the teacher tries to give him, and of everything in- volved in his work, he will blunder. Another pupil having perhaps less knowledge of his work, but with zeal and anxiety to consider and take advantage of all the teacher thinks important for him to know, exercises good judgment, saves himself much labor, and his teacher much time. The value of the instruc- tions given him will depend largely on the faithfulness and good will work. A pupil should regard the performance of his duties, as if he were a teacher with the best interests of the pupil at heart. This will insure for him the greatest efficiency in his work, and will be his greatest asset toward personal success. ELLEN DONAHUE, '26, Commercial. A TRIBUTE O Seniors! our Seniors! your course in school is rung You've played the game, and played to wing the prize you sought is won. The doors of happy school life close, and you must venture through The portal that is open to lead to tasks anew. O Friends of the days of yore! We're sorry it must be, But even though you're far away You'll ne'er forgotten be. O Seniors! our Seniors! when through Life's school You 80, And when in its stern battle-ranks, you face both friend and foe, Remember us through all the years as friends sincere and true Who, at this last sad parting, now bid godspeed unto you. COMMERCIAL JUNIORS. UNUSUAL! I worked and worked for hours three, As busy as a bee, I did my very, very best To lead the speeding test. And when the morning came at last, My heart was beating fast, And when the school bell rang for class, I was a frightened lass. I thought when I should reach the room I was to meet my doom, But teacher said, We'll have no test, I know you need a rest. ANGELINE COSTABILE, '26, Commercial. with which he carries out his daily. PRESERVE YOUR SHORTHAND NOTES Shorthand notes of all work of consequence should This is often a be preserved and properly filed. matter of great importance, and as one can not always be needed, it is, tell in advance what notes may perhaps, well to make it a rule to preserve all short- hand notes. ROBERT JACOBS, '27, Commvrrial. SHORTHAND AND TY PEWRITING No matter how good a stenographer one becomes, if he is not a rapid and accurate typewriter operator, his services will prove of little value in a business office. These two branches go hand in hand and one should be an aid to the otherg but skill in typewriting, without shorthand, may perhaps be made more useful than a knowledge of shorthand without corresponding ability in typewriting. GRACE RECKENWALIIT, '27, Commrrrinl. DON'T TRY EVERYTHING The applicant who answers all advertisements, and claims ability to fill each position, will stand a poor chance of getting an appointment. If you are satisfied that you can fulfill the requirements, put forth your best efforts to prove it. LAURENCE KATTNEII, '27, Comme-rcial. WHO? There is a little fellow Whose hair is neither gray, Nor black, nor brown, nor yellow. What color's left, I pray? There's only red, and red it is, You see him off a mileg But what's the difference when this lad Is from the Emerald Isle? WILLIAM MILLER, '26, Co1nmt'rciaI. Questions by Four Members of the Junior Class: When a business concern has a failure there are generally two kinds of creditors. just a plain creditor and a preferred creditor. Can you tell us the differ- ence? Answer: A preferred creditor knows immediately that he gets nothing while a plain creditor has to wait sixty or ninety days to find it out. MARGUI-:RITE KENNEDY, '27, Commercial. BOY-GIRL-TRAIN It was almost time for the train to go, the boy was bidding farewell to the girl at his side, she looked up into his eyes with adoration for this boy who was going away, not to return forntwo months-which would seem an eternity to her. The sound of the whistle told them it was time for him to go. Kissing him fondly she said, Good-bye, brother Jack! CATHERINE M. BURKE, '26, l 1 1 a- I74l
