This yearly step-off tells those interested-and they are many-that another band of recruits has toiled through their years of training and have been presented with diplomas attesting their ability, in fair weather and foul, to navigate the Aurora and all its precious freight, to its final landing-field. This is a rather blurred picture of the reliance and hopes centered on you, the St. Joseph's Academy Graduates of 1924, as you wave a goodbye arm to your Alma Mater. More correct would it be to say that each of you is sole pilot and navigator of a wide-winged, humming Aurora of your own, an Aurora with individual charac- teristics of strength and weakness, of deficiencies and capabilities. In your school years you have doubtless become aware of the strong and weak points of your Aurora With memory glancing backward on the lessons you have received and the experiences you have weathered in your training, keep a steady, unflinching eye ahead, send not your aeroplane's prow into the clouds that spell disaster, or the air-pockets that bode a tail-spin unto ruin 5 but, with duty's compass pointing to the goal, and trusting to a guiding hand from above, pull back every lever and steer your machine a-humming toward the landing field, where, as the wheels revolve slowly to the everlasting stop, many may say in truth, She's gone, and we shall miss her, and a voice from invisible lips will whisper: Well Done. f?, S+ 1,6629 ,fa Ten THE AURORA SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS DOROTHY ERNSDORFF ----- - - PRESIDENT ALMA LANG - - VICE PRESIDENT AGNES O,MALLEY - - SECRETARY MARCELLA ERNSDORFF - - - TREASURER CLASS MOTTO Mol-ce Your Day Beautiful, and Your Sunset Will Be Glorious CLASS COLORS Orchid and Gold CLASS FLOWER Sweet Pea CLASS ROLL AGNES O,MALLEY LEONA CHAMPOUX ALMA LANG LOIS BRANDT ANGELA MASSOTH MARCELLAQERNSDORFF DOROTHY ERNSDORFF MARY MAHER ELEANOR WIEDEMAN MONACLAIRE EARL ELSIE KORESKI PAULINE DOAN FRANCES BERG RUTH HOWELL MARY MAHER - RUTH HOWELL - DOROTHY ERNSDORFE AGNES O,MALLEY ELEANOR WIEDEMAN GENEVIEVE LAMAY MARCELLA ERNSDORFF ELSIE KORESKI - ALMA LANG - Lois BRANDT - YVONNE DULUDE - GENEVIEVE FORTIER PAULINE DOAN - LEONA CHAMPOUX MONACLAIRE EARL - ANGELA MASSOTH FRANCES BERG URSULA DONOVAN GENEVIEVE FORTIER GENEVIEVE LAMAY EDITORIAL STAFF URSULA DONOVAN YVONNE DULUDE - 1 Editor-in-Chief - Assistant Editor-in-Chief - Literary Editor First Assistant Literary Editor Second Assistant Literary Editor Business Manager First Assistant Business Manager Second Assistant Business Manager - Joke Editor Assistant Joke Editor - Subscriptions - Subscriptions - Alumnae Current Poetry Current Poetry Current Poetry Class Calendar - Organizations THE AURORA Eleven IDOROTIIY ERNSDORFF As pure and sweet, her fair lnrow seems Eternal ns the sky, And like the br00k's low song, her 1foiee-- A sound 'wlzielz could not alle.

THE AU RORA Seventeen THE GRADUATES AS THEY Kmow p ONE ANOTHER AIfMA LANG Not very tall, slight, her dark brown hair neatly arranged, her gray eyes pleasant in expression, Alma's whole appearance is Winsome. She is sweet tempered and cheery and enjoys a frolie to the full. Her record as a pupil has been very good. She is popular among all the students, and esteemed by all the teachers. -Marcella Ernsrlorjf. , ANGELA MASSOTH Angela has gone through her four years of school, winning a reputation for efficiency in practical undertakings, and also, alas!-for occasional infractions of rule. She is sometimes not to be found where-she should be, 'and at other times is discovered where she should not be, but, after all, these are minor offenses. Angela takes a lively interest in all social functions, and contributes not a little to our merriment by her sense of humor. ' -Elsie Koreski. AGNES O'MALLEY .f'I n sweet music is such art, '. ' Killing care and grief of heart, A . Fall asleep or, hearing, die. Agnes is the 'living embodiment of the talentedqpianist, and she is ever ready to lend her talent for the entertainment and pleasure of others. As a member of the Dramatic Class, Agnes has shown marked ability. She handles with equal facility the light note of the bird song, andthe deep tone of the funeral dirge. S. J. A. will miss this fun-loving senior very much. - -Dorothy Ernsdorf. DOROTHY ERNSDORFF J Different, that is how one would explain her. From the top of her soft brown clip to the tip of her slender foot, she is distinctly a ray of sunshine. Dorothy has spent twelve years at S. J. A., and this likeable lass has become a general favorite. The gradu- ating class of 1924 chose her as their leader, and they are proud of their Winsome presi- dent, with her sunny smile and sweet disposition. Naturally lively, and possessing a keen appreciation of the funny side of things, she is delightful company. Her literary ability is invaluable in the preparation of the AURoRA.l' We predict great things for Dorothy. ' g Q -Agnes 0'M alley. I. ELEANOR .WEIDEMAN Eleanor is a veryqnice girl, so says every one. She is loved by the Sisters for her good behavior and studious habits. She has her fun at the right time, and thus keeps out of the scrapes that some of her incorrigible friends seem to revel in. Eleanor is a model convent school product, polite and sedate always. The Juniors regard her with admiration. They look like astronomers studying the stars when they attempt to ob- serve Eleanor's nature. Personally, I see in Eleanor many desirable qualities. She has a sincere and sympathetic character, and is always cheerful and willing to work for others. -Frances Berg. ' ELSIE KORESKI Since her entrance into the S. J. A. last September, Elsie has gone her happy-go- lucky way, getting into scrapes and out of them without even a change of facial expres- sion. She is au bright and fun-loving girl, and she is ever kind and generous to her class- mates. On her departure from school, she will carry with her the good wishes of all. -Angela M assoth. N Eighteen THE .AURORA FRANCES BERG f Tall and well built, with dark brown eyes, a luxuriant head of brown hair, and cheeks ruddy with the color of health, Frances is one of the striking figures of the Class of '24, She is a diligent student, rarely coming to class with lessons that are not thoroughly pre- pared. No one, however, enjoys fun more than 'she does, and she is always foremost in adding pleasure to our recreation hburs. Her lively manner, quick sympathy, and strong sense of humor make her a pleasant companion. Both the Sisters and her Classmates look upon her as an ideal Senior. , -Eleanor Weidevnan. GENEVIEVE FORTIER Genevieve is dark-haired and dark-eyed. To the casual observer she seems un- usually quiet, but her classmates who know her intimately, know that she balances her hours between duty and pleasure. During class hours she is completely absorbed in her work, and during recreation hours no one enjoys sports more than she. Genevieve has planned a business career for herself, and we all know that time will find her making good. -Yvonne Duluole. GENEVIEVE LAMAY Jean is one of the sun-bursts of our class, full of fun, ever ready for a good time, and yet with a serious side which all who know her appreciate. She is tall and slender, with brown locks, which according to the dictates of fashion have fallen between the clipper's shears. Jean is very active in all school functions and organizations, and her enthusias- tic help has aided much in the successful cumulation of many of the school activities. She is popular with her classmates and with many others besides. -Ruth Howell. LEONA CHAMPOUX Leona's face usually wears a winning smile, she is neat and attractive in appearance. Her personality, as well as her appearance, is fascinating. One twinkle of her bright eyes, and you know that she has a sunny disposition and enjoys a frolic to the full. Leona always has a smile and a kind word for everyone, despite the long trudge back and forth from her home at Selah. -M onaclaire Earl. LOIS BRANDT f'She is a plain and honest lass, healthy and happy and good with that sort of beauty which comes from happiness and health. Lois is one of our representatives from Wapato. She is of medium size, brown-haired and blue-eyed. Of all her studies she prefers Eng- lish, and perhaps that is the reason why she has made such excellent progress in it. Al- though she enjoys recreation and out-door sports, she prefers to be an occupant of the quiet nooks. -Pauline Doan. MARY MAHER Opinions of Mary vary. To the occasional visitor she is a meek and lamb-like young lady who would never cause the slightest disturbance in the world, but the Class teachers know that Mary can create a laugh on occasion. As Mary excells in debate and islgifted with dramatic instinct, her teacher of Elocution has great hopes for her future. In the school plays our animated graduate is ideal. Mary possesses, indeed, many excellent traits of character: She is capable, generous, unselfish, loyal in friendship-in one word -she possesses a heart of gold. -Ursula Donovan. THE ,AURQRA Nineteen MARCELLA ERNSDORFF Maiden of the meek brown eyes, In whose orb no shadow lies. These lines suit Marcella to perfection, her clear, innocent brown eyes look out of a very attractive countenance, framed by a wealth of dark brown hair. She is the baby of the class in years, but not in class standing, as the marks on her report cards plainly show. She hopes in due time to attain College Degrees, and become a teacher of Mathe- matics. All pleasure and honor attend her efforts to the goal of her fair ambition! -Alma Lang. MONACLAIRE EARL Do you see that beaming smile, and hear that contagious laughter echoing through the corridor? That is Monaclaire Earl. When this sportive graduate is not mirthful, you may be sure that something is wrong. All know that Monaclaire is renowned for her wonderful disposition, but don't tease her too much. Her sparkling eyes and smiling lips and golden hair are inheritances of the Emerald Isle, and her patience is not ever- lasting. This graduate makes a good student in most subjects. Her motto: Laugh and the world laughs with you, has made her a lovely girl. Her schoolmates find her vivacious, amusing and thoroughly companionable. -Leona Champoux. PAULINE DOAN Pauline is one of our nicest girls, very lady-like and gentle. She has acquired all of the dignity and poise that three yearsqof convent training can give. To her school- mates, Pauline is a generous and capable girl, one who can be depended upon to carry through anything that she undertakes. -Lois Brandt. Q RUTH HOWELL If you are looking for Ruth, seek her in the music rooms. There you will find her charming, or charmed by music's sweet sounds. Ruth is one of the most interesting girls in our class. She is an extremely intelligent pupil, and never neglects a task. Her examination marks furnish a just valuation of her knowledge. To see her at her prettiest, you should catch a glimpse of her listening to Agnes O'Malley at the piano. Then her deep brown eyes are- bright with excitement, and her lips are parted in a happy smile. -Jean LaMay. URSULA DONOVAN There's not a colleen sweeter I . Where the river Shannon flows. Our blue-eyed colleen, with her mass of bronzy hair, returned to school in Septem- ber after an absence of one semester because of sickness. One might judge at first that Ursula is a quiet demure person, but we can all vouch that she is full of fun. Ursula aspires to be a pianist. May her talent and golden qualities lead her to the zenith of success. -M ary M aher. YVONNE DULUDE As Yvonne sits at a writer, her fingers gliding swiftly over the keys, she looks the ideal typist. In shorthand class, she is most industrious and strives diligently after perfec- tion. Yvonne has made a record for painstaking accuracy, and her papers a.re seldom excelled. Her gentleness, her unvarying sweetness of disposition, and graciousness of manner, have endeared her to her classmates, and will win for her life-long friends, where- ever duty calls her. -Genevieve Fortier. Twenty THE AURORA LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF Tl-IE SENIOR CLASS OF '24 We, the united eighteen, the class of 1924, after four years of high school life spent in these revered halls, being, as we think and our associates judge, of a safe, sound, ex- ceedingly generous mind, do inscribe, publish, and proclaim this-our Last Will and Testament, rendering all documents of such nature drawn up at a date previous to this null and void, in the following manner and order, to-wit: I. To our beloved Faculty we bequeath our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their constant teachings and countless kind acts. Moreover, we desire that they may retain only pleasant memories of our last four years of study. II. Next we bequeath to the Juniors the necessary encouragement to carry on, faithfully in their numerous duties as Seniors and future Alumnae of this our Academy. Likewise, we sorrowfully present to them with all due solemnity and ceremony the key to the Chemistry room, doomed to lose some of its high standing when Physics is studied therein. III. To the Sophomores we give our unrivalled popularity, our pleasing disposi- tion, and our dignified ways. Of material things we leave to the said class of '26 a brand new Waterman's fountain pen that they each, and everyone may write all our names and graces on a sheet of memories' tablet. IV. To the Freshmen we leave with the utmost thoughtfulness our ability for study, and for orderliness in the halls. Secondly, we present, them with our outworn and over- worked curling iron to fuzz the bobbed locks. Furthermore we wish-this is the request of a departing class-that they would borrow the Sophomores' pen-if convenient for themselves. V. We individually, direct that our possessions, worldly and otherwise, be dis- tributed to our heirs in like manner. 1. Lois Brandt bequeaths to Doris Cuillier a return trip ticket to Canada in order that she may see Loretta again. 2. Elsie Koreski leaves Elizabeth Keller her old pair of ice skates for next winter's frolics. 3. Frances Berg gives to Josephine her position as bell hop. 4. Monaclaire Earl presents Catherine Dawson with a bill of two dollars for a Flapper's Guide. . 5. Genevieve Fortier bequeaths to Jane a free ride on Sassy Susie to remove some over and above spunk. 6. Yvonne Dulude bequeaths to Beryl Mondor a bottle of Liquid Silmerine. 7. Leona Champoux leaves Anna Mary Devlin a Kelly-green portfolio in which to keep her Irish poems. 8. Eleanor Weideman gives Helen Barrett some of her diligence and love of study. 9. Pauline Doan wills Helen Rouleau a still and quiet afternoon near Johnston's corner. 10. Alma Lang bequeaths to Alberta Keller another compass, fearing that her one at present was overworked in the character-sketch drawing. May the new one be as useful to seccess. 11. Dorothy Ernsdorff gives Marion Skinner a baby doll upon which to lavish surplus affections. - 12. Ruth Howell leaves her Marshall-Field's dress catalogue to Adeline Koreski. 13. Ursula Donovan bequeaths to Margaret Ditter, a youth to Drape-her windows in a .newly shingled cottage. 14. Marcella leaves her position as violinist to Madeline Doyle. 15. Jean LaMay leaves Bernadine one of her free periods, thus giving her the mo-ore time to don her pretty dresses. THE AURORA Twenty-one 16. Angela Massoth gives to Marie Landry a pair of Pavlowa's ballet slippers, ac- quired at that artist's recent appearance here. 17. Agnes O'Malley bequeaths to Josephine Hogan her copy of Curry's Funda- mentals of Expression. 18. Mary Maher leaves to Oliven her knowledge of Aluminum. 19. In View of the fact that the next year's Seniors out number us by two, we, the entire class, do leave to Monica Shanahan, a gold thermometer with whcih to taker her parents' temperatures, and lastly we will to Viola Gaudette a position like to her sister's so that she may remember the present Senior Class with occasional comps VI. To the school we leave our motto, Make your day beautiful that your sunset may be glorious, and likewise, we hope, its fulfillment. . We hereby nominate, constitute and appoint our teachers as the executrices of this document. In Witness Whereof, we the class of '24 leave to our successors the earnest hope that they will profit by the worldly possessions bequeathed to them. Signed and sealed this 15th day of March. THE SENIOR CLASS '24. DUTY Beneath the sun Our duty stands forth in its somber dress, The task today has set must be the best, And as we faced them with a warrior's zest, The sweetest dreams and rest were ours. And now, refreshed and strengthened By those dreams, and sweet repose, We gather strength to meet our every foe, To do the tasks which daily duty shows. Our heaven glows not, nor will not glow With lights which other souls shall make. Each day confines us to its duty's sphere, Fulfilling which we earn our heavenly mead. The vision of the night, our days on earth, Prepares for vision of a heavenly world, And duty done leads to that vision fair, Beyond the sun. ' -R. TwentyTwo THE AURORA CLASS POEM Deep and sweet and faintly calling Come the echoes of school years, And their joys and love and friendship Are mingling with regretful tears. All those youthful joys and sorrows, And those countless hopes and fears- How the memory of their passing, Seems like music of the years. May our school days spur us onward, For we'll need their memories dear When in combat we are weakened, And the dark mists do not clear. When the tempting hand of earth joys Lure us into pathways wide, Let us seek the good and noble, Steer against, not with the tide. v When ways long, and paths alluring, Leave their mark upon our life, May thy teachings, Alma Mater, Guide us ever in the strife. -Angela M assoth, 4 T H E A UVR O R A Twenty-three CLASS HISTORY Father Time is in the parlor. ' 'That mysterious phrase kept up a persistent drum- ming in the ears of the Seniors, as they slowly and fearfully descended the stairs in the direction of the room whence they had been bidden. Would that age-old Father prove a merciless extractor of time wasted in the halls of study? Come right in. The peculiarly hollow voice of Father Time echoed through the halls, and startled, the Seniors rushed to the parlor door, and then, pell-mell, scrambled into the room to their supposedly-approaching doom. , Father Time, with his long white hair and beard, sweeping the empty pages of an immense book before him, gazed at the number of breathless girls. Father Time: 'LAS Seniors of St. Josephis Academy, 1924, I suppose you are desirous that your names go down on the pages of History. Class of '24: Oh! Yes! Yes! Cthey chorusedj Father Time: Well, who are you, what are your favorite subjects, and where did you come from? COmnious silence! Father Time: CScrutinizing every Senior, in turn.J My! My! Who are those graduates with such doleful faces? Dorothy Ernsdorff: We are seven! Cstammeringlyj. A Father Time: What! Seven Seniors trying to impersonate a funeral procession at such a happy time as Commencement Day? Come! Come! What cause have you for sorrow? CSeven girls crowd forward, excitedlyj. Yvonne Dulude: We've spent twelve years at S. J. A., and- Ursula Donovan and Angela Massoth: We've had such a good time!- Alma Lang: Especially during recess! Marcella Ernsdorff: No! No! Always! Especially at Arithmetic time! Frances Berg: Oh! We can't leave, Father Time! ' Dorothy Ernsdorff: It's like pulling a tooth, or-or breaking up a family circle! Father Time: tsternlyj That does not furnish me with any the important particulars! Angela Massoth: Well, I left the grades in 1920, and took high school as a matter of course, that is, all but history which was nearly the death of me. Father Time: You're lucky to be here to tell the tale, then, aren't you? Alma Lang: I'm lucky, too, Father Time, School has always been my pet hobby-and the high school bug-a-boos, Latin and History-I didn't mind at all! Agnes O'Malley: Oh, dear! I wasn't lucky. In the grammar grades my one ambition was to surmount the difficulties of Arithmetic, but in high school, I found Arith- metic mere play in comparison with that horrid old Algebra and Geometry! Dorothy Ernsdorff: Count me in with Agnes against Algebra, Father Time! But Geometry was all right, and English was royal-but-deliver me from the fines of broken test-tubes in the Chemistry laboratory! Father Time: Ye fleeting hours! How can I record those statements as fast as you make them! Eleanor Wiedeman: Shall I go slower, Father Time? We-e-l-1, Jean LaMay, Mona- claire Earl, and myself came to S. J.,A. in the fall of 1920, and have continued here throughout high school. I, for one, have enjoyed every minute of the time. Jean LaMay: So have I! I have always tried to contibute to our school activities, and be diligent in school work, and thus, by developing pep, I have made my school life peppery! . Father Time: Keep up the quickness in after life. Next. Twenty-four T H E A U Rs O R A Elsie Koreski: I began my school life at S. J. A., but for the greater part, my schooling has been at Holy Rosary School in Moxee, for I live in that small, but thriving, me- tropolis. However, I'm not French! Marcella Ernsdorlfz CAlmost in tears.j Oh! I don't want to leave S. J. A.-because then I must part with Latin and Spanish, and Chemistry, and- Father Time: Cheer up! Cheer up! And what were your impressions of your school life here? CTurning to a girl at the windowj Mary Maher: I saw a terrible wall of books, and the only way out seemed to be through the pleasing door of history. But now, all my books are ready for the trunk in the attic. But-I can't quite remember the distinct date of my entrance, or my exact age-or- . Father Time: Age is of little importance. Perhaps no one will ever know your exact age. Next. Monaclaire Earl: I've spent my entire high school career at S. J. A., and during that time, the girls have told me, my red hair is the most characteristic part of me. But I do wish they'd rank my love for the past joys of Geometry, before my red hair, because- Father Time: Time is up. Who is next? Genevieve Fortier: Well, my history is about the same as all those who have joined present Seniors as Freshmen. But if you like, Father Time, you may say that my special pets have been Commercial subjects. Leona Champoux: Put my name down next, Father Time, and please say that I hated Geometry, but, like Jenny, I thoroughly enjoyed business work, especially Book- keeping, which was just like a play business- Lois Brandt: CCutting in abruptlyj And say for me, that when I first entered S. J. A. as a boarder in 1922, I had a terrible time becoming accustomed to the ringing of bells, the serving of meals at an exact time, the absolute silence of the study hours- Father Time: Don't get excited, Miss Brandt. Anyway, your time is up. , Pauline Doan: I came in the year of 1922, as a Sophomore, and oh! the honor of the high grades that fell my lot in Geometry. I was nearly overcome with joy on the day I received 92'Z in an exam. Father Time: That was a happy coincidence. Who is this? ' Ruth Howell: This is me, Father Time! I, also, came in 1922, and my arrival was singularily uneventful but extremely satisfying to myself, that is, until I became initiated into the sorrows of American History-- Father Time: CSternlyj This should be improvisation, but I fear you have memorized that. Ruth Howell: QQuicklyD But, Father Time, I must tell you about myself, and I can't dependupon my abilities at improvisation in a crisis like this. Father Time: Never mind, you have said enough already. Next. Ursula Donovan: It has been so long since I made my first appearance in this school, that I can scarcely remember it. But I know I was very bashful. And oh! how I hated Algebra! Father Time: I'm glad to see that you have discarded your bashfulness. Now, is that all? ' Yvonne Dulude: Oh! don't forget me, Father Time! I've spent twelve years at S. J. A. and history was the only thorn among my roses. Frances Berg: I remain yet, tool I've been here as long as Yvonne, and I wish that I could stay here longer. I liked school. Especially did I enjoy high school-and Father Time: There! All the space I can allow you, Seniors of 1924, is used up Father Time slowly closed the great book, and bade us adieu. p ALMA LANG, '24 ' ' RUTH HOWELL, '24. MARCELLA ERNSDORFF, '24. T H E A U R o R A rwaty.fse CLASS PROPI-IECY N ow was the day departing: and the air, I mbrown'd with shadows, from their tolls released All animals on earth, and I alone Prepared myself the conflict to sustain, Both of sad pity and that perilous road, Which my unerrlng memory shall retrace. Just as I had read these lines of the f'Inferno, Mother's voice, chanting the age-old, and age-despised phrase, came Hitting down the stairway, Dorothy, hurry, and wash those dishes! I glanced at the despisable things, and my eyes blazed indignation. How I envy those sunbeamslll I thought as I watched them steal through the window, playing hide-and-seek among the curtains, behind the pictures, and even in the open cupboards. My glance wandered out-of-doors. The sun was high in the heavens, and snow-white, Heecy clouds were drifting around it. The shade under the big apple tree looked wonderfully inviting in the beautiful drowsiness of this first June afternoon. I stepped to the door. Ah! even the soft green grass, and the gayly colored flowers, looked lonesome. I wondered if they felt sad because there was no one out there to ap- preciate them, and tell them how beautiful they were. I decided to undertake this errand of mercy, and soon found myself lying in the shade of the old apple tree, I saw the Dream- master sailing above me on a great, white cloud, and I heard the gruff, soothing voice of the wily Mr. Sand-man, but I paid no heed. I wondered if any of my class-mates would experience stage fright during our Gradu- ating Exercises that night. Then I smiled, as the amused thought came, of how un- necessary our speeches, our songs, and our qualms of fear, would seem in forty years from now- Suddenly, a rough hand grasped my wrist, and the fingers seared my flesh like a red get coal. A glutteral voice hissed into my ear, and the breath was as hot as a tongue of re. Forty years from now? Ah! my fine young lady, probably then, and after I have finished with you today, you would welcome dishwashing with open arms! Wh-wh-who are y-you? Mines, Grim Judge of Hades, ever at your service! Then I experienced the most unusual and startling sensation. I was among the tribe who rest suspended. I glanced about me, and a spirit beckoned me. He moved onward, and I entered on a deep and woodyway. Then, I heard the howling wind, the noise of a hundred thunder-bolts, and the roaring of mighty waves. I closed my eyes, and covered my ears, and, in a few moments, after a terrible crash, I found myself in total darkness. Here we are, descended to the blind world, whispered my escort, and I became conscious of a suffocating heat. The Grim Judge pointed to the great stone Portal of Purgatory, and bade me enter. Fearfully, I stepped up the first stepg it was cold and slippery. I stepped up the second stepg it was hot and quivering, I stood on the third step, which was blood-red. I could go no farther, the great doors were clamped and barred. I was cold with fear and uncertainty. Then I heard a stern voice: Enter in, but also take good heed, . He ts cast forth who looks back as he goes. It was the Warden of the Gate. Slowly, the heavy-hinged gate swung wide. I stumbled in, looking to neither right nor left. 'Take notice, thundered Minos, and, trembling, I noticed a familiar figure of my school-days. Could this be Mary Maher in this terrible place? Terror stricken, I watched her. She was writing, writing, in blood-red letters. Forever must she write, said the Demon of Palmer Method by her side, Because, on earthyshe paid no heed to her script. A Minos gripped my wrist, and jerked me forward. In the distance I heard music. Soon, before my startled eyes, appeared a strange sight. Before the Ark of the Cove- Twenty-six T H E A U R O R A nant, Elsie Koreski was leaping and jumping. The voice of David came from heaven, 'fFaster! Faster!,' , She danced her life away at S. J. A., spake my guide, now she must dance forever before the Ark of the Covenant. As I turned away, huge shadows appeared on the stone walls of the cave-like passage- way. In the midst, was a shadow of a tiny creature, striving, in vain, to keep apace with her companions. That, said Minos, is Frances Berg. On earth, she towered above every one, but here, she roams about with the Giants of Hades. Then, we came to a group which immediately attracted my attent-ion. Nearly a thousand chattering men were gathered about one person. Curiously, I wedged my way to the center. Horrors! It was Eleanor! Why, oh why, should she be punished like this, for I remembered, at school, she had no love for males. Because of her man-hating! whispered one of the group, in my ear. Sorrowfully, I continued on my journey through the dark and damp corridors. Sud- denly, a shrill, rasping voice reached my ears. A tiny spirit sat at a piano playing fur- iously. What is the matter? I stammered, as I recognized Agnes O'Malley. This, said Minos, is a justly-deserved punishment. On earth, she grudgingly studied her harmony, now, she is doomed ever to play on a red-hot piano, and never, never, to hear a sound. I was turning away when a running figure rudely knocked me down. Jean LaMay! I shouted, as I recognized the fleeing figure. What are you do- ing? Just then, around the corner of a smoking lane, a group of men-spirits darted, evidently in hot pursuit of my seemingly rude companion. Oh, Minos, why? 'fOn earth, yon spirit was too ardent in seeking the epitaph- 'Men-not man.' Now she is doomed forever to run from any man. My guide moved on. Tears welled into my eyes. Splash! Dripping with water, I rose from my tumble. I had fallen over a bucket of water. Humiliated, I looked around. Buckets of water were everywhere. In the corner, said Minos, you may behold Monaclaire. While living, she was smiling, smiling, ever smiling to gain favor. Here, she must shed forever, Tears of Penitencef' Heavens! I was drenched with poor Mona's tears! The air was very hot, and the humid atmosphere seemed unbearable. I hesitated to descend lower, but Mines did not stop and I feared to be left hebind. In the next circle I looked into the angry eyes of Alma Lang. She turned from me in disdain, and commenced once more to take up the task I had interrupted. Oh! Oh! I ran shrieking from her. She was embalming an Egyptian mummy-while great, snarling dogs crouched at her feet. Don't be foolish,', scolded my guide, a spirit can't hurt youf' But-but Alma was-was always so frightened whenever-whenever a dog came near her, and-and an undertaking parlor-even the outside of one-made her hair stand on end! That's why she's heref' Down we went to the next circle, and as I shaded my eyes from the glare of the sudden light, I heard the hissing and crackling of flames. I looked up. We were in an immense valley which was completely surrounded by walls of fire. I heard a sobbing, sighing sound, and looking in the direction from which it seemed to come, I discovered a figure, bent under the Weight of a heavy load. The sobbing creature was Ruth. Her eyes were dark and cavernous, her face pallid and emaciated. Why is she so withered and reduced? I managed to stammer. At school she never ate her mid-day lunch. Now she must wander. in the presence of delicious fruit and fresh, limpid water, and hunger and thirst for eternity. T H E A U R O R A Twenty-seven I started to descend the steep mountainside, but the hand of my escort stopped me. He pointed to a large group of souls far below us. There was one lagging behind, who seemed too faint to keep up with the crowd. As I gazed, she' turned her face towards me. Was it possible? Was that Marcella? The voice of Minos boomed out, She led in her studies on earth, but here, she will ever follow!!' My heart was as lead. I sat on a jagged rock, and buried my' face in.my. hands. Hark! What was that? I raised my head and listened. Some one was yelling in loud, harsh tones. I looked to my guide for explanation. That, said he, is Pauline Doan. During her lifetime she was too silent, too quiet. Now she is doomed to create noise. From midnight to morning, she sings, from morning to noon, she yells 5 from noon 'till night, she howls and cries. Just then, a running figure hove into sight. It was an old, old inan, bearing a scythe. His long gray hair was floating in the wind, a11d the banner 'round his neck was stream- ing behind him.. A second figure appeared in hot pursuit. Red hair, blue eyes-why, it was Urusula-chasing Father Time! Until the Day of Judgment, that shall be her penance, said the Grim Judge, for at school, she was ever making up time. I looked into the valley below me. Suddenly I spied a dancing, noisy, bustling crowd. They surrounded a pitious little spirit with hands clapped over her ears. Even at that distance, I recognized the long black hair of Lois Brandt. Poor Lois! She was suffering the penalty of her retiring nature. I My gaze wandered to the farthest corner of the valley. There I saw a peculiar sight. A thousand, nay, an hundred thousand chairs, enclosed by a wall of flames, were visible, row on row. But only one solitary soul was in sight. Silent and alone, that person must wait for the Day of Reckoning, possessed by a horror of being late for judgment. Tardiness ne'er goes unpunishedf' Minos paused. You do not recognize-? Not Angela Massoth? I gasped. Angela I Slowly, and with my eyes gazing into space, I again started down the rocky side of the Mountain of Cleansing. Before I could realize what was happening, I had come in violent contact with the earth. I looked behind me to see what had caused me to trip and fall. I beheld a literal labyrinth of bright pink ribbons stretched from rock to tree. and from tree to rock. In the midst, was a red-headed, unsmiling soul trying, in vain, to extricate herself from her purgatorial net. The harsh voice of Minos whipped her like a lash- Yvonne Dulude, such is your punishment for vain pride. As an earth creature you shunned pink as a leper 5 as a suffering soul, pink shall ever repose upon the red of your hair! ' . Minos beckoned, and once more, we hurried down the steep slope. As we passed a towering, cliff-like rock, I became aware of a peculiar sound. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Minos pointed to a cave-like opening in the side of the cliff. On the walls, protruding from the crevices, and suspended in the entrance, were pictures of S. J. A. In the midst of them, was someone pacing, pacing, pacing. I raised my voice and called, Leona! oh, Leona! A - She made not a sound, but kept on walking, walking, as though she had not heard me. When a Sophomore, said Minos, she was not satisfied with S. J. A., but left it to spend a school term in Seattle. Now, for all eternity, she shall pace in sight of S. J. A., and never, never, never, be able to enterits hallowed halls! In a few moments, we had again reached the Valley of Shadows. Soon we faced the wall of fire, and sought the fiery gate, through which we might pass into the Dens of Dark- ness. But someone was crouching in the gateway. A dull, monotonous voice droned- 1000-2000-3000- Who is that? I tremblingly asked my guide. Just then the figure raised her eyes to mine in an unseeing stare. Genevieve Fortier. Could it be? Twenty-eight T H E A U R O R A f'She is counting calories, Minos informed me, for she considered Cooking a bore- dom. 4000-5000-6000- As we reached the last circle I was so overcome that I felt sick and frightened. Shrieking, I groped my way through the damp, dark passages, while behind me, the Grim Judge laughed in hollow, mocking tones. Mother! Mother! I rushed on, passed the Warder, and through the grim menac- ing Portals of Purgatory. Mother! I rubbed my eyes, and sat up. Above me was a sky of wondrous blue, flecked with snow-white clouds. The golden sunbeams danced and flitted here and there. I raised my hand, and felt the soft cooling fragrance of apple blossoms. I was 'neath the old apple tree. ' Then the ever-sweet face of my Mother was framed in the doorway and I heard the soft, soothing tones of her voice, What is it, dear? I-I-why, I just wanted to tell you, Mother, that I will be right in to do the dishes. And the sunbeams followed. DOROTHY ERNSDORFF, '24. TO SISTER MARY LORETTA There is an infallible rule in every school that deals with books and teachers. To most grim students who lack wise prudence, school is by far above the par at she greatest comic in tragic features. The comedy is laughable, the tragedy is passable, the two combined, the scholars find, is-this we'll gladly mention-the last result of our teachers' cult, and our Superintendent's keen attention. For well we know that very oft when we feel inclined to take things easy, the Superintendent of our schools will just breeze in 'to enforce the rules. When, gently reclining at our ease, We waft the wasted minutes to the breeze, and breathe a low, contented sigh as we lay the waiting, pleading, school book by, we'll hear a light step on the stair, and sense the tension in the air, and whether welre merely curious, or really care, we'll ponder the startled question: Who can be there? And then before we can sit erect-we assure ourselves, just for effect-a smiling face peeps through the door, an enlivening spirit, and something more 3 two keen bright eyes detect our blank surprise, and as we strive, in vain, to comprehend, a soft, vibrating voice does a message send of new encouragement to every Class, and good advice for each school-girl lass g words of praise for work well done, a spirit of battle for merit, as yet, unwon. And through our weary school-girl brain there flashes this enlivening strain: Do not stare up the steps of success, but step up the stairs. Is there any influence- anywhere-so great as a visit from our Superintendent? And then in the presence which seemed so impendent, we found a blessing in disguise, for did We not merit by our sur- prise? Then rose every blue-eyed and brown-eyed, and grey-eyed bandetta, and chorused in glee, Good Afternoon, Sister Mary Loretta! ' DoRoTHY ERNSDORFF, '24. T H E A U R O R A T wenly-nine MAKE YQUR DAY BEAUTIFUL AND YQUR SUNSET WILL BE GLORIOUSH The dark shades of night are rapidly dispersing. The morning star proclaims the coming of the dawn. Slowly from I the eastern gate Where the great sun beams his state, Robed in jtames and amber light, over the awakened mountains, the sun-beams come, and freshening breezes kiss the mellow land already touched with green, and gold, and red. In the orchards the fruit trees, awakened by the gentle zephyrs. f morn, flutter and spread a wealth of damask petals at their feet, and tangled vines andgbending grass glisten and sparkle as the sunlight touches their burden of last-evening's dew. In their nests in the tree-tops the birds have sprung to life and joy. Now a twitter here, a chirping there, and then is heard the sweet and full-throated song of a million awakening songsters. Eternal morning has broken over crag and chasm, over hill and vale, and surging roseate clouds sway to and fro, move backward and foreward like so many enthusiastic spectators. It is sunrise on God's fair earth. All day Aurora holds her course. One by one the brave lines of the mountain ap- pear, a hundred sparkling rivulets glisten on hillside and dale. Every flower and bud and bird has drank of the crystal water, and all things arise and shine in the light of God's gaze, the glorious fullness of day. The hours speed on, evening approaches, the goal becomes nearer, the speed slackens. With one last plunge, Apollo, flashing and re- splendent, reaches the goal, yet lingeringly he departs. We have witnessed the splendor of the setting sun. We have watched the golden orb sink beyond the mountain's crest. We have seen gold and red, amethyst and opal blend into the twilight shades, and we know that a beautiful day has ended in a glorious sunset. And so it is in life. If we make our day of life beautiful, then no matter when our sun on its course sinks to rest, its setting will be truly glorious. In virtue of our inherit- ance of intelligence and character, we can make of our lives just what we wish. God has given us faith in the worth of life, and the means to attain our eternal destination, Heaven. It is true that on the brightest day, the sky for a time may be cloudtlecked, but beyond the cloud the sun is ever shining. Be it ours, then, to pierce beyond the gloom of baffled purposes and shattered dreams, and find the sunlight. In the spiritual day, grace is the sun, conscience the echo of God's will to us, the power which disperses the clouds of pain and sorrow. Upon the sun of our spiritual life, faith, hope, and charity wait, while intellect, and free-will attend. The sun glistens on every pathway, so that none is dark unless we do not wish to peer beyond the shadow. How are we to make our day beautiful? It is only by cultivating the full-and high art of right living. Every soul is born for a well-defied end, and the human heart knows neither rest nor happiness until it reaches this end. Therefore it is, that a St. Augustine will cry out from the depth of his experience: Lord, Thou. has made as for Thyself, and our heart I s restless until it repose in Thee. A true woman must lead the higher life of the soul. The Christian ideal is moral worth, and the followers of Christ must place God and duty before everything. It is not the great things that aid us in living rightly, but the right accomplishment of every task God sets before us. Let us call the accomplishment of each and every task t'Fidelity.'l Fidelity, then, is a soaring drudge, a free spirit working like a bond slave, it is a part of heaven and earth. In short, fidelity is the spirit of work, but work joyfully done. The faithful woman seeks to make her own life unselfish and fragrant with kindliness. Then in calm patience, and the strength of God, she seeks to draw other lives to nobler things, to more beautiful days. She sees the good of all that is, and the beauty of the lessons of life, displayed in Nature. Thirty THE AURORA To her thc sober raptures of reality are more than the strongest lights of romance. She does not seek for marvels, but for the daily bread of human hope, of higher ideals, and some conception of the language of the soul, which exalts the spirit like the view of the starlit heavens, and the everlasting mountains. Thus, the feminine type of fidelity is instinct with grace, attraction, moving sweet- ness, subduing gentleness, soaring aspiration, and seraphic fire, which cause her, in her girlhood, to look out upon a world decked in all the roseate hues that imagination weaves, fancies filled with schemes of ambition bent upon achieving success in some walk of life. She is eager, even to impatience to enter upon her course of chosen labor, but, ah! here must she remember that the present is only a passing phase of her existence. Youth, the sunrise, soon fades away, and the sunset of life is reached. When the sun of life sinks to rest, when the soul has been called to repose amid the purple shades of repentance, faith and love and fidelity, harmoniously blending, will lighten life's sunset hours. For as earth's sunsets are the preludes to the sunrise, so life's last lingering hours, to those who have made their day beautiful and useful, is the prelude to the glorious sunrise of Eternal Day. ' DOROTHY ERNSDORFF, '24. A Cl-llLD'S HEART I watched a little child at play, I heard its laughter, sweet as May, Its cooing voice was soft and mild- I thought me, then, of Mary's Child. The breezes fanned the rosy cheek, The sunbeams kissed the curls of gold, The baby hands, the fiowers seek And press, in joy, each petal fold. I looked into the eyes of blue- I saw their faith, so sweet and true. Their trusting depths reveal so much Which words of man could never touch. I saw the Mother standing near, She blessed each smile, and dried each tear, In tender love she clasped her pride, Then soft, it lisped, Let baby hide! A misty tear welled in my eye, Such trusting faith-Oh would that I Possessed again a child-like heart, The joy, the love-of God, a part! I looked again upon the child, Its life was pure and fair and mild, I breathed a prayer, in whisper low- Grant me, oh Lord, a heart just so! -Dorothy Emsdorj, '24 1-,,f7-.f.,wg.1,,.5,, r,.f.,,,:3, w f?-'-,,qfg-m1wmf'- A 1, wrwg..-ffm vigil lx? 7 f ' T H E A U R O R A Thirty-oun nfdfdliyf '2'Iwf-b7f- Kia ASQ A QA I 41.

A new girl had come to Tildon College, and had registered as a Junior. Now the entry of a new girl into a class of forty should not have caused any ripple in the daily routine of college life. But this girl was an unusual one. She was tall, ungainly, wore spectacles, and, at their best, her clothes looked seedy. Worst of all, from the day of her entrance, she led in all of her classes. The boys in particular resented this, and they were determined not to stand by and let defeat hang a crepe on the laurel wreaths which had been theirs in the past. But strive as they would they could not win, and in every contest Anna Maunhay, the new pupil, was victor. Anna Maunhay had worked and studied very hard to win the scholarship which admitted her to Tildon College. A college education had been her ambition, her dream, her life goal, but now that she was really within the hallowed precincts of a college, and her desires were seemingly gratified, she began to realize that a great void .had come into her life. Try as she would, Anna could not make any friends among the student body. True, her shyness and reticence, made it hard for her to mix with new people, but at home she had many friends, why couldn't she make friends here? One day, when she was in the library, she overheard a conversation which explained her difficulty. What a self-sufficient, homely, goody-goody girl, Anna Maunhay is, anyway. Why, she never utters a word of slang, and she does not even use powder to doll up that ugly face of hers. When she walks she looks as though she wanted to tread on every one, and here, I've drawn a picture of her nose. Anna Maunday, such a name, and she is the girl I am to take to the Junior's Halloween Party. Now, I want you fellows to- Anna quickly left the library, her cheeks burning and tears of indignation streaming from her eyes. She might have heard more had she listened, but what she did hear was a sufficient explanation of her unpopularity. Every year the Juniors gave a Halloween party. It was the one big social event of the year. When the party was being planned, some of the girls expressed their sympathy for Anna. They knew that the only thing she had to wear was an old faded yellow silk gown, so behind their invitation to her lay the hope of her refusal to attend the class function. But Anna did not refuse, and so her name was placed with those of the other girls, to be drawn by the boys as partners. When Anna left the library, she sought a secluded spot on the campus, and there she sat and wept. In this sorrow she forgot everything else. If she had only known that the students scorned her sol The tears trickled through her fingers and fell on her lap. Suddenly she felt a hand laid on her shoulder. Anna looked up and saw that her Latin teacher, an elderly lady with gray hair, was gazing pitingly upon her. Somehow, and before Anna realized it, she had blurted out the whole story. The Latin teacher, Mrs. Ulcan, patted the girl's dishevelled hair, and as she did so, she stopped to admire the chestnut frame it made around Anna's face. When Anna arose, she smoothed back her hair, put on her glasses, and straightened her ill-fitting dress. Mrs. Ulcan noticed the change in Anna's appearance, and after a few words of kindly encouragement she invited the girl to take tea with her that evening. During supper a conspiracy was planned between Mrs. Ulcan and Anna. During the following week Anna visited Mrs. Ulcan frequently, and when she went she usually carried a parcel. The great night came. The hall blazed with lights, a babel of voices, vied with the orchestra. The first dance was about to begin, when George Alrit entered, his face beam- ing and his cheeks ruddier than usual. While he was elbowing his way to the cloakroom he met his friend, Brown. Say, old fellow,'i he whispered, see my luck. When I went to bring the mud fence to the dance, lo! she had been transformed into a fairy. Just then, the door opened, and a slim, graceful, figure, clad in shimmering yellow silk and lace, hovered in the doorway. All evening the girl in yellow silk was very popular, and not until the dancing was over and the time to unmask had come did the Juniors of Tildon College realize that the beautiful stranger was Anna Maunhay. T H E A U R O R A Thirty-five When the crowd dispersed the transformation of Anna Maunhay was the subject of which every one spoke. And Anna, well a current of -new life had flown upon her. She found what she had looked for, and was contented. In later years she confided to her daughter how much she owed to a certain Latin teacher for having changed her from an ugly duckling into a swan. MARIE LANDRY, '25. TRIBUTE TO TI-IE SENIORS, Your school is done, and the time of study Has flown on the wings of day, ' And before you, life's great future Shows up beautiful as May. You see the lights of the future Gleam through past trouble and trial And a feeling of gladness comes o'er you For school days gone the while. A feeling of happiness and pleasure, Like some sweet fleeting refrain Which resembeles reality only As a mist resembles the rain. Gone, save from rnemory's store-house Are your simple school-girl days, What ever the future holds for you The past will be with you always. Even in the walk of your life work Which with honor may you grace Memories of school days shall linger, Recalling faces of that fair place. You will often sigh for days gone by, When memories dear to your heart Bring back the thought of your childhood, And tears from your eyes will start. When life' s great troubles assail you Or e'en though your life be fair, Let your voices rise like sweet incense To bless Alma Mater in prayer. And as you Write life's volume In the round of your daily choice, Let Faith and Hope e'er buoy you As the approval of a Heavenly Voice. -Anna M ary Devlin, '25. Thirty-six T H E A U R O R A IN MEMORI AM The dawn of November third was saddened by the death of Sister Mary Benedicta, nee Winifred Gildea. The cross which overshadowed the community of the Sisters of Providence had darkened as well the spirit of the Alumnae of St. Joseph's Academy. Sister Mary Benedicta spent her school years at St. Joseph's, and was graduated in June, 1906. After graduation she entered the novitiate at Vancouver, and after making her vows taught in the school in Washington and Alberta, Canada. At school Winifred Gildea was generally liked by all. She was stamped to go through life in ways of principle and lovely womanhood, and the sweet amibility, steady cheerfulness, and painstaking perseverance which characterized her as a student fitted her to guide others courageously. In the convent, our teachers tell us, Sister Mary Benedicta stood out as the ideal religious. Her service knew no limit, and she was always ready to sacrifice earth's dearest claims in the interest of God and souls. May her spirit breathe blessings on Alma Mater and may her fidelity inspire us with a love for the deeper lessons of life. HER DAY WAS DONE Her day was done, and her spirit, So pure and snowy-white, Was wafted gently upward By angels in their flight. She saw the lights of His kingdom, Gleam faintly as thru a mist, And a feeling of gladness came o'er her, That her soul could not resist. A feeling of gladness and longing, That was almost akin to pain, Crept thru her, and cleansed her spirit, Not leaving the slightest stain. Come rest upon My bosom, Said the Master to His child. I will soothe that restless feeling, And banish thy passions wild. So on snowy wings they have borne her, That soul so pure and bright, To the feet of her loving Master, e A conqueror in the -Hght! -Bernadine Ditter, '25. T H E A U R O R A Thirty-seven MONEY, BY AGNES REPPLIER, A CRITICISM In the short introduction to her essay Agnes Repplier strikes the key-note of her subject. That a desire to do good is not, and never has been a motive power in the acquisition of wealth. She then takes you into her confidence and tells you of the dangers lurking behind the acquisition of metal discs. Some of the author's convincing arguments as to the menace of wealth are shown in her analysis of the effect of money on the individual, on patriotism, on citizenship, and on the country. To the individual money becomes an inordinate desire. Every class resents the extravagance of every other class but none will practice denial. Then also money grossly intrudes itself into the quiet places of life and one becomes a money seeker. Then as though we were not convinced of the truth of this argument, she draws our attention to something of more vital importance than the individual, that is, the reaction of money on patriotism, citizenship, and our country. There are people whose love of country and citizenship are in proportion to the amount of money they possess. In regard to our country the reluctance to practice economy indicates a weakness in the moral fiber of a nation, a dangerous absence of pride. The strongest reason of the author, in support of her belief, is one which clearly exemplifies the keynote of the essay by alluding to the need of others at this time. We disregard this need and find pleasure in the purchase of luxuries. The argument of this phase of money is clinched by the appropriate quotation. 'Tis man's perdition to be safe and ' tis his deepest and deadliest perdition to profit by the misfortunes of others. The author's idea of the spiritual effect of money is a pleasing change from her ideas on material things. The principal thought is contained in the words: Money has no power to get us any place worth reach- ing, no power to quicken the intellectual and spiritual potencies of the soul. We must then educate the faculties of thought to center on God's voice bidding us pursue ideals which are real, else our service becomes idolatry, and a blight falls upon our nobler selves, if we make money and its equivalents a life purpose. The conclusion of the essay is short, to the point, and in keeping with the preceding arguments. In it there is an admission of the peril of prosperity and a hope that for our own sake, no less for the world's sake, we must show that we coin money in no base spirit, and that we cherish it with no base passion. Our possessions belong to us only in a mechanical way. The poet owns the stars and the moonlit heavens, the mountains and the rivers, the flowers and the birds more truly than a millionaire owns his money. Miss Repplier would warn us, that laudable though it may be to seek money under the enthusiasm of the noble ends which it might subserve, that some blight of circumstance may fall upon that enthusiasm, and seize upon the means and convert them into ends. The author's style of writing is prominent throughout the essay in her lightness of touch, humor coupled with seriousness, clearness, and rapid movement. There are references to the Apostles, Saints, and history. Few figures of speech are used. In fact, the writer confines herself to one, personification. The long and short paragraphs and sentences are unified in thought. Agnes Repplier's unstudied diction is a feature which tends to bring her nearer to her readers, and, thus, convince them the more readily, of the truth of her arguments. - ELEANOR WEIDEMAN, '24.

HILAIRE IRENE FEARON ' PATRICIA STEPHENS HELEN FREIMAN DOROTHY STRAUB IONA HANLON MARGARET WEBER Forty THE AURORA LIFE OF JOYCE KILIVIER Alfred Joyce Kilmer was born at New, Brunswick, New Jersey, December 6, 1886. People who knew him as a boy described him as one of the funniest small boys they had ever seen, basing their characterization on the fact that he wore rather odd-looking clothes. In one respect at least he was very much like the majority of boys-he never acquired a great liking for school. Between the ages of eight and twelve he contracted a violent passion for a lady of thirty-five, who was his school teacher. It is told that at a preparatory school he made up his mind to stand at the head of his class, and he accomplished his purpose although hitherto this goal had seemed un- likely of his attainment. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1904 and received his A. B. from Columbia two years later. j In 1908 Joyce Kilmer and Aline Murray were married. It was plainly seen that theirs was a love-match, for their married life was one of happiness, made so by trials and hardships mutually borne. For several years Joyce was not only a successful hus- band and father, but was also a clerk, reporter, lecturer, editor and Writer. When he told his fellow clerks that he was a married man they looked at his youthful, jolly face and refused to believe him. When he announced that he was not only a husband, but a father they were willing to accept any statement he made, and if he had said George Washington made the Statute of Liberty, they would probably have nodded and said, Yes, that is so. It was during the time when his little daughter Rose was suffering from infantile paralysis that he and Aline found a Love greater than that which they had previously known which magnified their devotion for one another. They were received into the Catholic Church. Kilmer declared that he had always been a Catholic at heart but Rose's illness had made him realize it. His life and poems after his conversion were so filled with God and Love that they were like psalms. Many life-long Catholics wondered and were put to shame by this young convert's extensive knowledge of Catholic practice. The legends and ancient customs of the Church always gave him pleasure because in them his aspiring and romantic mind found 'food for thought. When Kilmer learned that the United States had entered the war he did not wait to be drafted but joined the 69th and took all possible shortcuts to get to France. He was at that time the father of four children-Kenton Sinclair, Rose, Deborah Clanton and Michael Barry. A short time after the angels had carried Rose's soul to Heaven Christopher was born, and a few days later Kilmer's regiment sailed to France. In No Man's Land Kilmer was an excellent soldier and fighter, a true friend to his regiment, and his natural happy self. From France came his best writings. The letters between him and his wife were wonderful because of the common bond of love between them 5 but his other letters were scarcely less beautiful and charming. His war poems were marvelous. Rouge Bouquet the best-known was so well-liked that the com- mander had a dozen copies made to send to his friends, and his fellow soldiers sent copies to their sweethearts and mothers. The war brought him nearer to human beings 3 it brought him from his little castle of dreams but it could not, thank God, destroy those delicate and imaginary strains of thought that were his-it made him more trustful and humorous than before. His essay Holy Ireland shows best the effect the war had on him. Although his bodily fatigues were great, yet his mind rose above them and he found beauty in life's coarsest materials. After reading his war poems, essays and letters we see a different Joyce Kilmer. Before, the poet was first but now the man advances. Strengthened by trials and nearness to humanity, he appears a radiant being, glowing with love and faith in God. The poet falls back and we learn to love Kilmer, the man. When Kilmer's buddies saw him lying on the ground with his face toward the camps as if trying to find the enemy's position they walked over to speak to him and found him-dead. He was buried beside Lieutenant Oliver Ames and on the cross above his were inscribed the words, Sergeant Joyce Kilmer-Killed in actionf' THE AURORA Forty-one The full beauty of his life is known best to God. In one of his last letters home he wrote, Pray that I may love God more. It seems to me that I can learn to love God more passionately, more constantly, without distraction, so that nothing else matters. Except while we are in the trenches I receiveg Holy Communion every morning, so it will be all the easier for me to attain this object in my prayers. I got faith, you know by praying for it. I hope to get love thesame way. When Aline learned that a shell had ended the life of her husband she wrote: I f I had loved you more, God would have had pity. God is a jealous God. You have loved too wildly, You have loved too well! one said. I bowed my head, but my heart in scorn was crying That you, whom I had'hot loved enough, were dead. Throughout the lonely time that followed his death her heart yearned for the loving companion of former days. r - This should atone for the hours when I forget you, Take then my ojering, clean and sharp and sweet, An agony brighter than years of dull remembrance. I lay it at your feet. Before the world she appeared quite happy and the great love which she bore God and her children kept bitterness from her heart, but- Life seems only shuddering breath, A smothering, desperate cry, And things have a terrible permanence When people die. IRENE FEARON, '26 MARGUERITE HARRIS, '26. FELINE ETIQUETTE Thomas stole softly across the lawn, his wary eyes watching the actions of a small sparrow, who was industriously picking up a worm. Pounce! Pussy's paws held the small bird securely. The little creature gasped for breath. It was useless to struggle with the traditional enemy of his race, whose power made itself felt in every limb of the ach- ing, trembling little body. Nevertheless, the sparrow summed all his remaining breath to utter a scornful chirp. It's the first time, Master Thomas, that I've seen a well- bred cat eat without washing, he said. , This remark hurt Thomas' feelings. Why should people always say such unkind things? Wasn't t enough to have one's mother constantly boicing one's ears for un- becoming manners? Slowly Tommy raised his paws and began to wash his face. Whirr! The small sparrow was in a tree, and Thomas Cat, astounded, surprised, and angry was staring upward foolishly. Disgust was evident in everylmovement as he made his way to the rear of the house. Henceforth, he muttered, never again shall I, Thomas Cat, wash the hands and face of the aforesaid Thomas before meals. ERVILLA DUNHAM, '26. Forty-two THE AURORA THREE WAR POEMS Probably the three best-known poems written during the late war are Joyce Kil- mer's Rouge Bouquet, John McCrae's In Flander's Field, and Alan Seeger's I Have a Rendezvous with Death. The author of each was killed in action. The three poems deal with the subject of war deaths, but the keynote of each is different. The author of Rouge Bouquet looked at death from a spiritual plane, and death for such a noble cause held no terrors for himg his faith enabled him to picture it as the shin- ing gateway to a more perfect life. There is a note of prophecy in Alan Seeger's poem. He speaks of an engagement with Death, an engagement looked forward to with certainty and a touch of dread, but one that was not to be broken. When spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous. The author of f'In Flander's Field places himself among the dead, who, falling, throw the torch of freedom to those who are to take their places in the ranks of battle. It is a solemn call from those who were the first to meet the enemy's advancing line, and sacrifice their all In Flander's Field, to those who should follow their noble example of devotion to duty. IRENE FEARON, '26 MARGUERITE HARRIS, '26. TO ROSE IN HEAVEN Little Rose Kilmer had spent but five short years in this world when God called her to Him, on the ninth of September, 1917. Her sweet pure soul had already flown to the gates of Paradise before Father Garesche heard that she was seriously ill. The news that his little friend had died came as a great blow to him, but after the sorrow of missing her had been softened by time he wrote To Rose in Heaven. In this poem Father Garesche asks Rose to tell him of the joys of heaven and of her welcome there. Had the beautiful angels come to put the flower of her soul in God's Golden Street to bloom? Had the little cherubs waited by the Gate for the coming of another flower and clapped their hands in glee? Did Heaven's Queen, Mary, come forth to welcome little Rose? But most of all he wanted to know how she had been wel- comed by the King. But oh, Most, most I crave to know How He came forth to find you, how the street Sang with His hurrying feet, The lit, adoring air was all aglowf' Perhaps God called Rose to Him just in time while her wondrous beauty was in its prime, and the fragile, tender bud had not yet been seared by contact with the world. In heaven all the beauty, pent in her sweet bud of frail humanity, burst into bloom and mirrored her Savior's glory. Time was when the kind priest could have told Rose of the troubles of this world, and warned her against temptations. But Rose in Heaven has seen God and found true happiness. J esus' soldier might now ask humbly for a crumb of her knowledge. DOROTHY STRAUB, '26. T H E A U R O R A Forty-three ILLUSIGNS Some think that it's a bore to go to school, To study and recite and obey the rule, To wear long sleeves and be quiet in the hall, They think that school's no fun at all. But isn't it fun to write long themes, Or put into words your fairy dreams? And what about French with its twist and turn? At least it's fun, just to try and learn. And Latin isn't always hard and dry For you can make it fun if you just try 3 Just pretend it's a riddle of some kind, Then work it out with an eager mind. But the study of Spanish surpasses all With its Buenos tardes, Hermana que tal? Or Hasta la vista or Muy bienv 5 If you'd try this you'd like school then. The hater of chemistry must, in truth be crazed, For the wonders of science makes one amazed, The ions and atoms and molecules too, And think of the knowledge you have when you're thru. And what fun there is in gaining this lore! When we learn a bit we want to know more, For its fun galore to experiment with things We really feel sad when the old bell rings. Of course, domestic science is loved by all, That is, if the cake or the pie doesn't fall, Now, history is liked no matter what day But the day it's liked the best is the holiday. Geometry is thought by some to be a bane, They think that algebra makes pressure on the brain, Of course, they're pessemists who think that way, They'd think these fun if Oh, I can they'd say. It's hard to tell whom singing pleases more, The ones who sing, or those outside the door, So go to school and keep back the sigh, For school's a joy to all who try. -Marcella E1'nsdo1jH', '24 THE'AURORA Forty-five FRESI-IMAN CLASS HENRIETTA BERG ------ - PRESIDENT CRIMONT STEWART - - VICE PRESIDENT AGNES BENOIT - - - SECRETARY MARGARET SANDMEYER ' - TREASURER CLASS MOTTO ' Through the stars, through bolts and bars CLASS FLOWER Violet CLASS COLORS Gold and Blue ROLL CALL .

There is something about short poems that appeals to almost everyone. Father Garesche's poems contain some great thought or lesson which, until he calls it forth, lies hidden in the simple beauty of common things. After reading his poems many of the sights and sounds of everyday life become enriched with a new meaning and a new beauty. Roots, for instance, appear to be of little account, and still are carrying on a great work. We wonder why the flowers that grow in the woods are called Wild when we see them standing so serenely fair. Those golden petals must have been wrought by some prince of filigree, we think. Yet, as we stand and gaze, the flowers seem to open their blossoms like a book, and from this book we read a thought of God. CRIMONT STEWART, '27. II. THE REVEALINGH When man first went through the hardships of winter, he was surprised that God should be so hard on men. The flowers were ruined and the woodlands were cold and dreary. But when spring came all things were clothed with new beauty, joy filled his soul and he understood that God can wound but to be kind. GERTRUDE KoHLs, '27. III. NEARERN In this poem, written by Father Garesche, we see two friends watching the sun slowly sinking behind the purple mountains. The last rays vanish, telling them it is time to part. As they stand in the grey twilight, their hearts suddenly darkened, one friend says, That measures out my time with you.', The other answers, And nearer brings our meeting too. It is a happy thought to look forward to the time when we shall leave earthly homes and earthly friends for our real home with God, where there will be no parting. RUTH BOUCHER, '27. IV. RAININGH When the morning is bright and fair, we long to wander about the woods, and our homes look sombre and dull 5 all round us nature's flaming beauty calls. But when the dull, chill rain falls on the glamour of the autumn morn then we are content to keep the cosy airs of homes. All about us gleams the false brilliance of the vain world. How its light lures us forth! Our sweet, simple homes, the joys experienced in the comforting church, seem dull and sombre to us. But the chill showers, kindly sent, have made my soul with home content. A great sorrow, weighing like a dull and constant burden on our spirits has made us realize the emptiness of worldly joys. It is then that we turn to God for com- fort and are glad to be in His grace and in the sheltering cosiness of our simple homes. CECELIA KRAUTKREMER, '27. T H E A U R O R A Forty-seven 'V. INNOCENCEU This little poem tells of God's love of innocence. Although God always loves His world He must love it most in spring because it is then young and innocent and reminds Him of new creation's guilelessnessf' In the spring the world has been washed by kindly rain, the heavens are blue and artless flowers are laughing, with baby eyes, to God. The whole poem helps us to love and appreciate innocence. MARGARET STEWART, '27. VI. MIRRORSU The waves, an everlasting sisterhood, On the great breast of ocean leap and die, Yet in its little life, a symbol good, Each lifts a tiny mirror to the sky. So must our moments, as they rise and pass, Reflect the Eternal's glory, like a glass. The waves, in their brief lives, can only leap and die. Though their time is short they do a little good. Each lifts a tiny mirror to the sky. We may learn a lesson from this beautiful poem. The waves are the moments in our lives. As they rise and pass, each one should reflect God's glory as the waves reflect the light. AGNES BENOIT, '27. VII. REMEMBEREDH P The meadow drank in all the pleasures of life and enjoyed itself. It never thought of the Giver of these joys but all through the summer it repeated its soft forgetful pleas- ure. Then came the drying gale to drain all the sweetness out of its life. lt was not until then the thirsty sod remembered that God had given these good things, and that God could likewise take them away. ' Many people do nothing but enjoy ehemselves. They may have the means of ob- taining every desirable pleasure and seldom think to whom they are indebted for these, until God, displeased with their ingratitude, sends them sorrow. Where happiness fails to turn our thoughts to God, sorrow often will. CECELIA KRAUTKREMER, '27. fl!!-' Q -s' Fortyseight T H E A U R O R A , CALENDAR FOR 1923-24 SEPTEMBER -Opening of school.

Fifty THE AURORA WHEN WE WERE YOUNG The sun was ever smiling, On dear old S. J. A., As little girls, with braids and curls We've Watched the sunbeams play. When we were young. But accidents have happened- I've heard our teachers say, Perhaps that is why a bright blue sky Called to mar our day. When we were young. We've heard the birdies sing in tune, We've seen the flowers bloom fair, We've scented e'en the smell of June When wind-blown March was there. When we were young. But even March with howling sounds Of winds blown fierce and loud, Could make us run in leaps and bounds, And cheer, in glee, each boisterous crowd. When we were young. Our teachers gasped in frank dismay, And told us to be ladies, But we were gay as birds in May, And sent discretion down to Hades. When we were young. Folks said that only boys were bad- And gave them all the credit For every fad in mischief clad, When oftimes, girlies led it! When we were young. But we could climb, as well as they! And oft we scaled the foot-hills We slid down hay, and-oh, there !-say- How We could shock beholders! When we were young. We've faced the strap the teacher wields, We've scrambled thru forbidden fields, We've torn our skirts-and barked our knees And scoffed, in scorn, at I's and we's. When we were young. We saw the boys, whom some called brave Make believe a pond was an ocean's wave, So off we started to find a place Whose daring would be a boy's disgrace. When we were young. THE AURORA Fzfty-one J We found it down by the old wood mill, And down our spines crept a chilly thrill- As we jumped like racing slaves in bond, From log to log, across the pond. When we were young. And, oft, too we'd go in swimmin', We, the brave and growed-up wimmin', For one of us would surely fall, The log would roll, and a ducking's all! When we were young. We even tried to find the fishes, So's we could wish, and get our wishes! But our raft went down in the fishin' hole We forgot the fish-to come out whole! When we were young. And oft in school, we'd break the rule, And fail the law of order, quiet. With stealthy care we'd pull some hair, 'Twas really fun. We took the dare. When we were young. It was such fun to hear a scream, We used a ping oh, yes! it's mean- But that's all right-so was a boy, To rival him was a bad girl's joy, When we were young. And now we're grown so wise and tall, And gone is the zest of school-girl tricks Gone is the right of boisterous fun, 'Neath howling winds, and smiling sun. When we were young. But ah! the school-girl memory lingers, As we sift time's sands thru sterner fingers, And the sunlight of the Past still gleams O'er our golden dreams, and silver schemes, When we were young. -Dorothy Ernsdorf, ' 24. Fzfty-two THE AURORA JEWELS FoR MARY MARY'S NAME Sweet name, ,when every name was new, Our infant lips were open'd to you, And whispered, Mary! Small tots, then youths, and graduates, How oft in need, or adverse states, We've whispered Mary! And now, when out from school we go, Oft times when things don't go just so, We'll whisper, Mary! Whene'er temptation comes our way, We'll fly to thee, dear Guide, and say, In a whisper, Mary! And when our hour shall come to die, Our lips, e'en then, will fondly try To whisper, Mary! -Marcella Ernsdorf, '24. SONNET TO MARY O, Mary, victorious Mother, gracious queen of heaven's throng, Sweet mistress pure, protect us from every stain of wrong. Deign thou to help each child along the unaccustomed way, Until We leave the austre bourne of lowly earth's brief day. O, Mary, ,virtuous Mother, mere words can ne'er convey, Our sorrow and our loneliness, if thou were not our stay. From thy glorious throne, O queen, look down upon thy children, And when we are in fear or need, pray, shield us from all danger. But Hrst, sweet, gentle Mother, make us worthy of thy care, That we may raise our hearts in song, and open our lips in prayer- To beg for courage and for strength, to sing thy praise always And, then, when life has sped its course, with thee to end our days. -Alma Lang, '24 TO OUR MOTHER O, Heavenly Queen, Mother of us all, Reigning in your holy bower, Watch us, keep us, to us always call, Dearest Mother, be our dower. O, Virgin glorious, virgin truly pure, And sweet with love and pleasure, Help us Mary, to our trials endure, Dearest Mother, be our treasure. Holy Mother Mary, be our guide To guard our steps, and lead us right, Upon the holy path, from evil tide, Dearest Mother, be our light. Sweetest Lady, watching from above, Fold us ever in thy mantle blue, Guard thy children in thy grace and love, Dearest Mother, keep us true. -Leona Champoux, '24. T H E A U O A Fzfty-three n TO 'MOTHER ,MARY . Mother, at dawn I've watched the sun to rise, I've seen the darkened heagens change- to tinted skies, In the myriad colors shone,a power, wise and good- And then, I've thought me,-Mary, of thy beauteous Motherhood. At noontide, when the sunlight bespoke a perfect day, I've gladly brought my joys to you, O Queen of May! At eventide, when Hitting shadows hovered here and there, I've crept to you with little griefs, O Mother Fair! And then, when twinkling starlight, did herald silent night- I've longed to thank you for your love, O Mother of Delight! Then, as at evening, flowers nod, and close their petal hues, E'er let me, Mother, close my eyes, with thoughts of you. -Dorothy Ernsdorf, '24 OUR BLESSED MOTHER MARY There's a shady nook, near a babbling brook, Where the limpid waters flow, Where the sunbeams play thru all the day And the breezes softly blow. Where the whole day long the birds in song With their thrilling heaven-born tune, Where the lilies blow, in the tender glow Of a warm May day noon. There 'mid nature's bowers of scented flowers Stands our Blessed Mother's Shrine, Clad in a robe of blue, of delicate hue Is the Christ Child's Mother and mine. In Heaven above, she must be fair, Our Mother of love and grace, And I love to dream what the vision will seem, The day I shall see her face. -M onaclaire Earl, '24 OUR LADY OF THE DAY O Mother, keep dawn's timid grey For untaught hearts that yearn to pray. And with the sun's first golden glance Tip thou thy mercy's, gleaming lance. The morn which dews of vale quick sup Make day all sinners' shriving cup. When past hot noon, there floats a cloud Be that thy peace to care allowed. To sunken eye's resplendent train Wrap thou our hearts in prayer again. The twilight's silent, silver wage Pay bounteous rest to tired age. But in the night, when lamps are low Around us all thy mantle throw. , -M ary M aher, '24 Fzjfty-four THE AURORA i VAGARIES CF FASH ICN At this time when the world at large is in a choatic condition, and no one order of things is firmly established, one power alone asserts itself and authoratively imposes its commands upon its subjects, composed from the mass of women and not a few men. This strange power is fashion-ever clinging and new, but ever forcing obedience on each of its fanciful votaries. Where is the realm of this queen? Paris, the capitol, of France, is the center of fashion to the civilized world, but where fashion came from directly is quite a mystery. Still we are going to try to recall her progress from nearly her first appearance, through her gradual increase, to our own times. Among the principal legends of France is the following which attributes to that country and its gay capitol in particular, the right to rule the world of fashion. Centuries ago Jupiter called a Congress of nations at Olympus. Each country was to send a repre- sentative who could ask one favor for his country, which Jupiter promised to grant if he deemed it reasonable. The inherent vanity of the French prompted them to send as their delegate a beautiful woman, who straight way asked that her land be allowed to be the queen of fashion. Jupiter, greatly amused by the extraordinary request, assented. In the beginning it was easy to devise new syyles, but as it is a woman's privilege to change her mind, frequently, what suited her one season, oddly, did not the next. And so eventually all the original ideas were used up. What remained? Why, fashion, un- disturbed, decided to re-adopt the styles of previous decades. And so it is, ever so often, we have a revival of the styles of other days. Dame Fashion is a fickle Hirt, one might say in paraphrasing a certain well-known saying of long standing. She is more changeful than an April day and equally as ex- hilirating if not taken too seriously. Her various moods are a never ending source of delight to her faithful slaves, and an illimitable well of sorrow to those who only wish to be. We stand aside and view the beautiful dame, as she pursues her capricious career. Now she is tall, slender, and willowy, her dark clothes cling closely to her lythe form. Her luminous eyes are circled with a dark and sinister shade of green. Her lips sport a gorgeous carmine hue, while her cheeks display the pallor of a woman who has suffered. Around her neck is draped a string of barbaric beads. Suspended from her cars are ear- rings of rare and unusual workmanship. The nails of her white hands are long and pointed and beautifully red. Her fingers are covered with rings which Cleopatra might have envied. Dame Fashion elects to be a vampire. But hehold! She is changing. She is becoming less tall, less slender. Her long black drapes are giving way to folds of billowy, pastel-hued lace. Her eyes have lost their green circles and langurous expression, innocent of decoration they sparkle with frank sincerity. Her lips are less violently red, and her cheeks are suffused with a delicate pink. A long string of pearls encircles her pale throat, and the dull luster of similar jewels can be perceived at her eartips. Her hands are still white, but the nails have been modified to a round contour, and as the light catches them they glisten pinkly. Their sole adorn- ment is a simple diamond, the size of a walnut. As we gaze she changes. Ah! well, we had expected it. She is again slender, nay, lean. A severe boyish looking tweed suit has supplanted the folds of lace. The skirt is frankly short. Evidently, woman has brought the economic question into her dress, and conserves on the material. Woman's skirt, instead of ending where it should, really ended where it ought to begin. In charming contrast to her somewhat sombre costume, is her colorful animated face. Between her lips, scarlet with the color which her outdoor exercise has, no doubt, induced, a cigarette is firmly held. Her white blouse meets her firm little chin, and is ornamented at the throat by twin streamers of narrow black ribbon. Her slim hands are delightfully tanned. Except for several signet rings of various in- itials, she wears no jewelry. i Suddenly her lines again change-but we know what is coming-another meta- morphosis, this time. Dame Rumor encouragingly predicts that fashion will be most generous, kind, and tasteful to Miss '24. Our gratitude to fashion! For the American girl, although her motto may seem- One might as well be dead as out of style, -is be- coming weary of the yolk, and beginning to rely more and more upon her natural in- THE'AURORA Fifty-five genuity. Too faithfully has she followed others' tastes. As a result of this worthy de- termination, the Europeans are marvelling at and complimenting the almost complete independence of The American women. Of course in every good thing there is a wee bit of bad, so perhaps that is why the women of our country so willingly consigned their long tresses to the barber's shears. Daughters, mothers, maiden aunts, and grandmothers have had their hair bobbed, until, according to one male critic, they all look alike-from the back. If Solomon, who so wisely commented on vanity, or Mr. Thackeray, who made it the underlying thought of one of his works, were alive today they would doubtless be amazed and properly shocked at the seemingly universal vanities of fashion. Today one would have to be as blind as the proverbial bat not to observe that women are fast losing their sense of modesty in dress. To be modest according to their view is a sort of self-ostracism. They imagine that those who uphold modesty bind themselves under some religious jurisdiction. They are absolutely wrong, for modesty implies noth- ing more or less than a decent reserve and piety. There are fashions in vogue today that shock even the worldly, who make no pretense of virtue. It is deplorable to see so many women making a god out of these extreme styles. No artistic excuse can be alleged for some of the costumes seen in public places. Whenever anyone upholds the present styles on the plea, of fashion, he should be recommended to take a course in the art of the masters. What a hideous contrast are the semi-nudities of the height of fashion to the graceful flowing lines of the modest gown! If the women who wear these things, which they themselves term dresses, could realize the sin of which they make themselves the occasion, no doubt they would not allow themselves to be carried away by the craze of fashion. RUTH HOWELL, '24 MARY MAHER, '24 SCI-IOQL SPIRIT It isn't your school-it's you. l If you want to live in the kind of a school That's the kind of a school you like, You needn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll find elsewhere what you left behind, For there's nothing that's really new, It's a knock at yourself when you knock your school, It isn't your school-it's you. Real schools are not made by students afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead, When everyone works and nobody shirks You can raise a school from the dead. And if while you make your personal stake Your schoolmate can make one too, Your school will be what you want to see, It isn't your school+it's you. --Selected.

SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN.-The Children of Mary meet on the third Friday of each month. The object of the sodality is to foster and increase devotion to the Blessed Virgin. The Catholic girl of today needs a wealth of strength and spiritual grace, and a guide and model to influence her daily life, for the maxims of the world are fatal to the true principles of right and wrong. If she would not fail in her high purpose of living above the common level, she needs ever cling close to Mary, her Mother. MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.-The Missionary Societies were organized for the pur- pose of promoting the interests of home and foreign missions. The Academy unit numbers seventy members, all of whom are very earnest in helping the cause of the missionary. URSULA DONOVAN, '24 ALUIVIAE NOTES Since last we reviewed the ranks of the Alumnae, much has happened among them. At the regular annual meeting in May, the elections were held. The following officers were elected for two years: Mrs. Frank Kelly, '07 -------- President Marie Lentz, '18 - - - Vice President Elenora Korth, '16 - - Secretary Mary Donovan, '17 -------- Treasurer Mrs. Ray Venables, '15 -------- Historian Two have started down the long path with a chosen companion. Cecelia Stein, '19, is now Mrs. Fred Beauchene, Bessie Hurley, '19, is Mrs. Paul Squier. In July two of our girls, Valerie Benoit, '15, and Lolita Lentz, '20, made their vows as Sisters of Providence. The former is Sister Yvonne, the latter, Sister Dorothy of Providence. Cora LaMay, '21, entered the novitiate of the Sisters of Providence in June. Frances Klingle, '22, went to Techny, Illinois, in October to join the Sister Servants of the Holy Ghost. Emma Roy, '23, has sought the solitude of the cloister as a Sister of the Precious OBITUARY Sister Mary Benedicta Gildea, '06 Sister Mary Benedicta died at New Westminster, B. C., November third. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Gildea of Los Angeles, California. Her education was received in Yakima, and she was a graduate of St. Joseph's Academy.

The easiest thing in a world of things Is to sit and wait until somebody brings Complete instruction on what to do, And how to do it, and when, to you. It's easy then, to go straight ahead And follow the facts just as somebody said. If they come out wrong and your work's in vain, Why, that's for somebody else to explain! Yes, it's easy to sidestep and pass the buck, But the fellow who does it is out of luck 5 Since the big success always seeks the man Who can plan his work and work his plan. The power of the man whom this world consults Is based upon this: that he gets results, If you'd follow his footsteps, you-yes, YOU! Must learn to DECIDE and decide to DO. -Selected. Sixty-two THE AURORA A CALENDAR ROMANCE Our hero was the common sort, when all is said and done, He worked his head off daily, and was out to get the-Mon. The reason for his diligence, was commonplace, 'tis true He tried to swell his salary so it would suflice for-Tue. And maybe that's the reason why one day he lost his head, And falling on his knees he cried, Oh, maiden, wilt thou-Wed. ' He may have thought this sudden, but it seemed not so to her, She lisped a quick acceptance and said forcibly Yth -Thur. But when they went to keeping house he feared that he would die, For, oh, that modern maiden could neither bake or-Fri. She could not run a bungalow, or even run a flat, So on many sad occasions, in some restaurant they-Sat. But he forgave her everything-as man has always done, When she presented him one day, a bouncing baby-Sun. -Selected. OUR SHOPS One of the first things Mrs. Hope did after her arrival in Yakima was to visit the parish priest, to introduce herself, and state her desire to meet the women of the parish. The good father, very much pleased to have a new parishoner, promised to report her arrival to Mrs. King, president of the Ladies Aid Society. A few days afterwards a lovely- looking woman rang Mrs. Hope's doorbell, and in a gentle voice inquired if the occupant was Mrs. Hope. Scarcely had Mrs. King uttered the sentence, than she felt herself ac- tually pulled into the house and openly embraced. Why, Ruth, Mrs. Hope exclaimed, I am Annf' The women had been close friends when Mrs. King, then Ann Gray, had spent a year at a boarding-school on the coast. But they had lost all trace of each other's whereabouts during the years following their marriage. They spent the afternoon chat- ting about their school days, and the happenings of the years which had intervened since their last meeting. Gradually, their conversation began to center itself on Yakima, her remarkable growth, and promising future. At length Mrs. Hope confessed that, although she knew she would like, and did admire the city very much, she was as yet wholly ignorant of its stores and shops. Really, Ruth, she said, I am quite puzzled as to whom I should patronize. That was one reason why I was anxious to meet some of the ladies. Can you give me some advice? Well now, that is a very general request, but I shall try to help you. Should I start with the merchandise? Ditter Bros. carry a very good line of dry-goods, and so does Oallahan's. At Chas. Barnes's you can find the most fashionable styles in w0men's ready to wear garments. The latest things in every season's hats can always be ob- tained at Kaufmann's or the Bonnet Nooke. Barnes-Woodin and the Emporium, our largest department stores, can certainly supply many of your needs. But for your hus- T H E A U O R A Sixty-three band I would recommend Weigel's or Lemon's. Bischoff's too, carry a select line of haberdashery, and any specialties can well be purchased at Storassli-Carpentier, or Mc- Gann and Mayer. - Kohl's Shoe Store has a fine line of footwear for men and women, while at Hill's and Ira L. Brown's you will find a good selection of moderately priced shoes. And old shoes can be made almost new at the Walen Repair Shop. That reminds me. The Union Cleaning does very good work,- and the Elite Laundry is quick, careful and reason- able, with one's wash. Of course, you have eaten at Ditter's Coffee Shop? It is also a very good place to buy groceries, and Deebach' s Delicatessen is another very modern grocery. ' Our city has many good drug stores. The Red Cross and Brown's specialize in prescriptions. Tuft-Bodine and the White Cross are two of our most up-to-date and progressive drug stores. At the Valley Pharmacy films are printed, and there the sale agency for The Oregonian is located. Nor do our jewelry stores take a second place, as a visit to Dunbar-Jones, and Jones dz Hawkes will convince you. You will find complete furnishings for your new home at Smith's or the Crookston Furniture Company. But a stove, cooking utensils, and electric washers can best be purchased at the Yakima Hardware, or at Lentz's on the West Side. In case of a party or other entertainment beautiful flowers can be bought at the Annavee, dainty favors at Baker's, decorations at Beaumont's, and invitations at Brad- bury's. Delicious ices and candies are made special at Yost's Candy Kitchen. Music, phonograph or piano, can be obtained at LaMay's Music Shop, or Mr. Driscoll's Orches- tra could be engaged. ' I gladly mention the Cascade Lumber Co. for builder's supplies, and also the Gibson Meat Packing Company which recently enlarged its plant. The automobile garages are also a source of pride to Yakima. The Burrows Motor Co. has the Ford agency. Schott-Halsey, the Franklin and Studebaker, and Kelly Tire Co. sells the cord tire by that name, while at J. H. Weber's, the Chevrolet motor cars are sold. Have you heard of Selah yet? It is a very busy little fruit town about four miles north of Yakima. You will find the stores there very modern, and the proprietors anxious to give you the best of service always. i Anna dear, I almost forgot. I might have saved you listening to this long speech, had I thought of giving you the AURORA, the S. J. A. School Annual, and, too, I may have overlooked some of our advertisers, and I want you to patronize them, every one. The printing of the Annual was done at the Yakima Bindery, and the pictures were taken at Abram's. In it you will find the locations of the places which I have mentioned, and I can safely say that all the advertisers are most reliable and desirous of your pat- ronage. Mrs. Hope left her friend confident that she had settled in a delightful little city, and went home to read thc list of the AURORA,S advertisers. MARY MAHER, '24. Sixty-four T H E A U R O R A WONDER-ISLE OF NOWI-IERE Somewhere on this earth there must be A spot untouched by the foot of man, Where the grasses are green and untrodden, And the waves lap on endless sands. If there be such a place in creation, Then I'1l pack up and take to the road, I For mine is the curse of the wander lust, And I must rise, and follow the code. This code of the wide open borders, Is the thing of unwritten laws, It embraces the south and Westland, And the land where snow never thaws. Nor does the East escape it, E'en though it meet not the West, To all fourends of the earth-world, It'll haunt you without rest. lf you should feel its curse in your blood veins, And your feet are swept by its sway, Try not to evade and shun it- lt's a master and will have it's way. Go! tasteiof it's sweetness, and revel, Go! follow the trail for awhile, Till your fascination for it has faded And it no longer does you beguile. Perhaps, then if it's your destination You'll drink of it's bitter dregs, And crawl home wan and weary, Rather weak in your head and legs. Yet, though you have tasted it's pleasure And have drank of it's nectared wine Be content with thesimple home-hearth And there be content to dine. . JEAN LAMAY, '24. THE 'SHORTHAND oLAss Shorthand is our hobby. Have you seen us six, at one, With books and pencils sharp To cite our rules till they are done? We always sit and wait For the reading and dictation, Of all the funny marks, Round and straight without relation. Then standing at the board, Our knowledge of this feat we show, By writing all the marks, Quick! because we can't be slow. Long and hard we ponder, O'er this hand of flighty wing. To solve its mysteries out, Till the bell again does ring. -Leona Champoux. 1 ,W . i W 1 I 1. Af ,jx 56 5. I THE AURORA ' saafive INDEX TO ADVERTISERS Abrams Studio ..........

Dear Walt Mason: I am eighteen, and only a midget in size. Whatever shall I do to grow? Leona. Dear Leona: Eat Brussels Sprouts. Walt Mason. Dear Walt Mason: I am an adorable girl, but am a little in- clined to let my good fortune make my head swell. Is there anything I can do? Jean. Dear Jean: Wear a rubber cap. It stretches. Walt Mason.
