SANDALPHON And next do we iind girls unwilling to shirk The great Isaac Newton, with his law of work- For effort expended on any machine Results in equivalent work must be seen. But so to experiment, where there seemcth a gain, They take for example, the inclined plane. Provided its length is just double its height, They know perfectly well, which power is right. Two earnest admirers of Physicist Joule Are busy obtaining the result of his rule. That energy always transformed may be, Not destroyed nor created, both girls agree. If tive or six trials give the verification They will master the principle of conservation. The input is output plus X, they repeat, As even energy wasted means friction or heat. And to times without number the pupils converse Of the wide varied news which o'er countries traverse. How the wireless proclaimeth Marconi's fine skill, And the hours he must have said the famous HI will . In the study of Edison, Franklin and Wright, Of Marconi and Bell they spend many a night. These beginners in Physics now truly decide In the works of great genius they 'll always take pride. And at the next table with mirror and scale, And the pointer suggested by Millikan, Gale, Are two busy maids in subdued conversation, About twists and bends, or the like deformation. For when equal weights on a spring they apply On proportional stretches they may surely rely. So the great Robert Hooke receives utmost attention, And from some of his clients, honorable mention. Upon labor, time, hours, success oft insists As the one grand formula for scientists. But girls in their teens a.re not quick to know That science must be, if in wisdom they grow. And so for love of study, learn rule after rule And grasp opportunity While we 're yet in school. For 'tis science that traineth the mind to reflect And that opens vast fields for deep thought to inspect. --esuifffKQx'amc+:e',f-- page one hundred five

,-A-nv Nw.-gran SANDALPHON Putting The Spectator Through the Press ELIZABETH RATH Graduate OR some time the pupils of Saint Joseph Academy have been contemplat- ing the publication of an annual. The class of '26 is the first to realize the fulfillment of the desires of former classes in this regard. The under- taking of this project seemed almost a dream, but through much effort and work, accompanied by a lively interest on the part of each in the senior division, it has become a reality. The first issue of Sandalphon in 1926 will be looked upon as the realization of many enthusiastic anticipations of former years. As a try-out for this great task, Sister Superior requested a school paper, The Spectator by name, to test the literary ability of the girls of the Academy. This, as may well be imagined, caused great excitement in the senior classes. Stories, peems, sublime and otherwise, essays fused literallyj and charades, no longer wore a forbidding aspect, but were eagerly and hopefully written. Oh, Sister, what shall we write about? - Please give us some topics! could be heard from many quarters. In due time all the aspirants for fame in The Spectator gave in their literary efforts for final inspection. Not only enough material passed censorship for the first paper, but there was sufficient left for approximately six. Several weeks of weary waiting passed. The daily question was, Sister, when is 'The Spectator' coming out? The oft-repeated inquiry received no definite reply from any of the teachers, but one glad day we were informed that the school paper was in the hands of the printers. The pupils of the Commercial Class did the work. NVe are justly proud. and have ample reasrn to be, of the girls who put 4'The Spectatern in printed form. The work required several days and it truly was a pleasing experience for these who were engaged in it. The first and most important task was typ- ing the stencil sheets. Eager to do her part, yet fearful of making mistakes, eaeh girl was rather diffident about undertaking her assignment, for she knew no mistakes would pass unnoticed by the scrutinizing examiners. The steneilling finished, the mimeograph was pressed into service. It was turnc'l and inked and pasted, oh, ever so often. That peor machine outdid itself in patience, submission, and long-suffering, and so did the girls who operatefl it. As everyone expected, the work was finished in a truly scholarly fashion. The printers leaped into farre when The Spectator made its debut. Needless to say, it was warmly welcomed and duly praised by Sister Superior, the teachers, and the students of Saint Joseph Academy. page one hundred seven
