A PAGE OF HISTORY Florence Klll St. Margaret’s Academy has no distant past around which the fancy of the writer may roam in search of romance. In the prosaic year of 1907, thirteen years ago, when the Class of 1920 was preparing for its first glimpse of the fairyland of school life, the Academy threw wide its doors to welcome seventy-two high school students, four of whom were seniors. This favored first class were known to their friends by the names of I .ucille Babcock, Catherine Egan, Catherine Jordan, and Veronica Lohmar. As we look at our crowded class room now, we try to picture it with four chairs in a row, with ample spaces all around. What silence and what order must have reigned there! Did the Lucilles and Catherines and Veronicas of that day look down the dim vistas of the future and see the thirties and forties and fifties of later classes jostling each other about in their hallowed class room? Did they even dream of eating their lunch in a modern cafeteria or buying their food with paper currency made in Saint Margaret’s mint? They must also consider us very fortunate who wrestle with and overcome the sciences in lalxjratories fitted up with every necessary appliance. Neither are the presenr-dav students permitted to forget their predecessors, for almost every corner is adorned with a memorial of some former class. Our first glance on entering the building rests on the beautiful stained glass panels of the front door, and the statue of Saint Joseph, which is on the first landing of the beautiful front staircase, is our daily inspiration. The parlor table, the hall bench, and the instructors' tables, the baptolican and the herbarium in the laboratories are put into use daily, while the framed liberty bonds hanging on the walls are an incentive for us to save. That is, they were hanging on the study hall walls until the evening of March 31, when fate played a cruel joke upon us, for on that night fire broke out in the basement, swept up the elevator shaft, and caused sad havoc with the third fi x r. The next morning our beloved study hall lay in ruins, the skeleton of the piano stood guard over the front stairs, and, sad but true, the silence signs still hung in their old accustomed places. The beautiful walls and woodwork were greatly damaged by the water and smoke, and the large hole in the roof caused a greal deal of inconvenience during the April weather, but, in spite of all this, schoo resumed the even tenor of its ways after only a week’s delay, and the fire is now written in the annals of the school’s history. But almost all this, of course, is ancient history in so far as it concerns us. Now follows an account of Ourselves, the Class of 1920: 17 Class of 1920 a S T.

I.ater we became separated, part of us gracing the new Junior Study Hall. Of course we were welcomed cordially by the sisters, but were looked down upon by the other classes. We bore their jeers meekly, as befitted our station. In this year, too, we started on our dramatic career by presenting several scenes from Irving’s Sketch Hook. We have a clearer memory concerning our second year. 'This year our class was reunited in the Senior Study Hall and we were then organized, with Clara Watters as president. Our brief glimpses of social life were through glass doors, while we watched with envious eyes the good times the Juniors and Seniors were having. On every Wednesday afternoon throughout the year the girls of this class busied themselves with Red Cross work. During the year we marched in two parades. In t he first one we created quite a sensation with our extremely large garden hats. The second was a Red Cross parade. In our third year we became a living factor at last. On account of the “flu” we had a vacation for eight weeks. It wasn’t much of a vacation, though, as all places of amusement were closed, and, in general, people were supposed to stay at home. When school began again we had so much work to make up that it was necessary for us to have afternoon sessions for several weeks. After much discussion we decided on our class pins. While the haughty seniors of nineteen-nineteen were interested in their graduate books we, the Juniors, got a similar craze for character books, which we filled with a great ileal of nonsense. They created quire a sensation among all the classes. The climax of this year was reached when we gave the annual Junior-Senior party. We spent weeks in preparing for this event and were rewarded for our efforts by everyone proclaiming it to be the best affair of its kind yet held at St. Margaret’s. The final chapter of our high school days started out with every indication of its being a delightful one, and such it has proved to be. Our first social function was a condescension to welcome the freshmen. We hope our successors will be equally charitable to these oppressed lower classmen hereafter. Then for several weeks everyone was busy preparing for the annual Christmas sale, which for the first time was in charge of the Senior class. 'This proved so successful that Mother gave us a Xmas party. As a pre-I.enten celebration we entertained the Juniors at a Valentine party. Our activities during lent were confined to work on the Dayesye. It was decided in the beginning of the year that we publish this book. 19 .V r. m a h c A H !•'. r x A C A I) •: M V :: f i n n t t p o s, M i n n. The name was chosen on account of the daisy being our school flower. Our dramatic career, so well begun in our freshman days, developed to such an extent that we have been able to present quite successfully three plays. These plays were merely given to accustom us to the footlights in order that our class play might be presented with greater ease. The Junior-Senior was a great success. It consisted of dancing and an elaborate luncheon served in the cafeteria. 1 he decorations were carried out in yellow and white, with daisies gracing the table. The class play, which was given June 5, showed the effect of many weeks of work spent on it, also of the careful training of Mrs. Crosse. The girls all took their parts exceedingly well. The most wonderful event of all took place on the afternoon of June 9,when thirty-eight girls clad in white caps and gowns received their diplomas and went forth to give honor to their Alma Mater. .9 T.

I gazed into the glassy world and there to my surprise W ere all my schoolmates, big and small, in future s gay disguise. i Florence Full has charge of an orphanage in far away Peru, There is nothing more noble that she could possibly do.

Rosella Stein drives a yellow cab over all the town, Because she is so speedy she’s won great renown. 8 Rose Tinkler is a governess in a family of two, And it seems to her husband that she has nothing else to do. 9 Jeannette Cary is a spinster: It really is too bad, Think of all the chances of marrying she had. 10 Dorothy Danaher is shining shoes inside the Loeh Arcade, She guarantees that she can shine kill, satin and suede. 11 Anne Daleiden is a janitress and fires both night and day, And so convinced the tenants that to move would never pay. 21 S T.

Clara Watters MKN in the spring of 1917 the lTnited States launched its first Liberty VV l oan Campaign, as a means of financing the great war, St. Margaret’s Academy was prominent among the schools which heeded the nation’s call. The Academy recognized in the purchase of Liberty Bonds, a plain patriotic duty, and in accordance with this view the school carried on an earnest propaganda during all the I .iberty 1 .oan drives. As a result of this zealous promotion, all the classes of the Academy pledged themselves to the undertaking, and through their untiring efforts five Liberty Loan Bonds were bought and presented to the school. Two additional bonds were presented by parents, who took this way of showing their recognition and appreciation of the work done by St. Margaret’s; making a total of three hundred and fifty dollars given to the cause of Liberty by St. Margaret’s Academy. An active part was taken in the Red Cross work by the girls, who not only contributed money, but also their time in sewing refugee garments. The War Chest came in for its share of about twenty-one hundred dollars. During this year of peace the students have reached out helping hands to the Red Cross and other organizations which are caring for destitute children in the devastated lands of liurope. It is consoling to recall that every appeal has been answered by a response. I low generous the individual response, we may not know. This we do know, if there was anything wanting in generosity, it was not the fault of the school but of the scholars. The last appeal made to the girls of 1920 was in the interests of the Irish Republic. With our mite to this call went our hearts’ warmest sympathies, our fondest hopes, and our most fervent prayers that President De Valera’s wishes for Ireland may soon be realized. S T.

A lovely large Castle, called Saint Margaret, situated in the midst of a beautiful green woods, through which the mighty Waters of the great St. Lawrence river flow, is the home of a number of famous people. On the Green surrounding the Castle we have large beds of choice blossoms, the loveliest being Roses, Marguerites, Lilies, and Violets. Jeanette often carries the wild flowers from the Marshes. One day when Myrtle was helping Jeanette gather the flowers, she Hollered because a Miller lit on a Marygold. Ivy vines cling to the walls of the castle and give it an added charm. The apple orchard is so famous that people come from far and wide to ear rhe luscious fruit and now all that is left are the Cores. A massive Cannon guards the entrance to the castle. The interior of the castle is finished in soft tones of Grey and Brown. Mr. Meyers, the mayor, is in charge of the castle. Dumas, the great French novelist dwells there, as also does Burke, the F.nglish orator, and Spenser, the English bard of great fame. In the exquisite music room there is a magnificent Stein-way piano whose silvery tones are heard far and wide. The eternal feminine desire for dainty gowns should be gratified, for there we have Lucille and Mme. Helen, t he famous designers of smart apparel. fhe Hoy Launderers keep the castle immaculate. The house physician, Trudeau, looks after the health of the occupants. In winter the Full log burns brightly and sends forth a rosy glow. The castle may well be called the home of “Young Ireland” if we judge by rhe number of McGills, McCarthys, McGuires, Malones, Mahoneys, Kellys, Burkes, Ryans, O’Briens, O’Connors, O’Hallorans, and Walshes dwelling there. There is also a German representation in Vonder YVeyer, Full, Stein, and Vanderlick. France is represented by Malboeuf, Trudeau, Lapierre, and Plouf. Florence seems to be a popular city, but Lorraine is also favored. 'I he castle larder is well supplied with Peas and Peach Melbas. There are several tradesmen at the castle and among them are the Miller, the Potter, and the Tinkler. Kx-president Adams is the judge, and he gives everyone a square Diehl. Most of rhe cases brought before the judge last seven Days. Many Saints sanctify the place with their presence, among them being the Saints Cecelia, Margaret, Frances, Veronica, Mary, and Ann.

WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE AN EXAM The night before I take an exam I sit and cram and cram and cram; I can never do my best When I have to take a test. When from Civics I crave diversion, I turn to propositional inversion; Then to bed I go, my mind depressed When I have to take a test. When the “zero hour” draws nigh, On my memory I rely, And I trust to luck for all the rest When I have to take a test. Gladys Wood. CITY LIFE IN SPRING Slushy snow beneath our feet, Great big puddles in the street, Coughs and colds and everything— This is city life in spring. Crowded street cars splashed with mud, Autos skidding in the flood, Thawing snow piles March doth bring— 1'his is city life in spring. Young girls wearing pumps with spats, Fur coats crowned by wee straw hats, Sometimes set us wondering What is city life in spring? When the warm sunshine elates, And the air exhilirates; When the birds come back to sing, Give me city life in spring. 33 Kllf.n Meyers.

The first party which we gave was an “entre-nous” affair and it culminated in a greater fraternal affection in the hearts of the girls for their classmates. Our second party was given by our generous sisters, the Seniors, and they proved most efficient hostesses. As the writer was unable to attend this, she learned from the lips of the majority that the Seniors had risen one hundred per cent in the eyes of the Juniors. Beware, Seniors! lest ye become sophisticated, for “He that is exalted shall be humbled.” Owing to the inconvenience of the present conditions of the Academy, we must all be satisfied to dance in the children’s playroom. We should adopt as our motto for this occasion, “Unless you become as little children.” Our girls are very happy over the class pins which they received the first part of April. We adopted a novel idea of having white gold (which is now quite the vogue) on our pins. Consequently this greatly increased the price. But the girls of I )21 didn’t mind. They handed over the money to the president quite cheerfully—and in some cases sh! slowly. As the bill is paid and the pins adorn our linen blouses all are pleased. Let’s take a peep at “Nille Secundus” and see if you can imagine— Pearl Adams not late for class, especially for English? Clara Aubart without her trigonometry lesson? Beatrice Plouf without a smile?

WHKN When we see our numbered milestones Growing fewer year hy year; When the vision of the end in view Dawns at last both bright and clear, When the heavy hours of school time Pass us o’er on fleeting wings And we feel that in a year’s time We can leave all earthly things, Then we know that we are Juniors. When we feel our shoulders broaden, With the weight of Senior cares, When we look on younger students With our high and lofty airs, When we think of all the burdens That in a few months will be ours, And wonder what the school would do Without our wondrous powers, Then we know that we are Juniors. When the thought of future partings bills our eyes with sudden tears, When the things that used to bore us Now are things which call forth cheers. When we wish the year would lengthen Till ’t would never have an end, And we plan to show our mettle, And no relapses apprehend Then we know that we are Juniors. Mary Virginia Sprecher. in m ST.

THE CLASS OK 1922 IN OCTOBER, 1919, the Sophomore class was organized under the supervision of Miss Gannon. The class officers were elected and the constitution was drawn up. Since the beginning of the school year, the Sophomore class has shown wonderful executive ability and genuine class spirit. 'The Sophomores know not a slacker among their number, and whatever project is brought up and when work must be done, this class goes in with a will and does it. 'Their efforts are, of course, crowned with success. When the class first organized, the girls became interested in carrying on foreign missionary work. They are members of the “Society tor the Propagation of the Faith,” and now are fostering two Chinese baby girls, whom they called Alice Irene and Mary Frances. When money is to be raised for the benefit of the school, the Sophomore girls are among the first to respond, for they believe that “charity begins at home.” The second-year class worked with diligence and enthusiasm in the interests of the Christmas Bazaar. Their table was covered with beautiful hand-made needlework, and the members sold chances on l ead chains and a silk sweater. The Sophomore Christmas sale was a great financial success. A movie benefit under the auspices of the class was given at the New Lake Theatre Thursday, April 22d. A picture, “The Temperamental Wife,” featuring Constance Talmadge, was shown. The program included vocal selections by Miss Katherine Potter and dancing by Misses Loretta Gangelhoff and Elizabeth Stassel. Members of the class ushered and sold home-made candy. The entertainment was a remarkable success, profitable and enjoyable. Three cheers for the Sophomores! May their success continue throughout their remaining school years at Sr. Margaret’s Academy. 45 S r. M A R G A R •; T S A C A I) E M Y : M i n n e a p o I i s. M i n n.

OUR RETURN TO SCHOOL AITKK the terrible lire which took place on March .jist at Sr. Margaret’s Academy, the Faster vacation was extended from five days to twelve. As I drew near the school on Monday, April 12th, the day on which the classes were to be resumed, I could see the ugly hole which the fire had made in the roof of the dear old place. On entering the building I perceived immediately the pungent odor of burnt wood. I stopped in the lower hall for a moment to see what changes had been made in the arrangement of classrooms, then passed on up the stairs. Here 1 found groups of girls standing in the hall discussing in low tones the awful catastrophe. This return to school was so very different from the happier ones of former days. Then there was laughing, chattering, and exchange of confidences about vacation good times now we only stood in groups looking at the blackened elevator shaft am! the ruined stairway once so beautiful. At length the clang of the gong called us from the contemplation of this sad scene to our lessons. The whole day seemed like a nightmare everything was so familiar and yet so strange. The fire at St. Margaret’s is regretted by all who knew and loved the old building, and by many who knew it only from the enthusiastic admiration of its loyal pupils. Marios’ Murray. K .V T.

JUNIOR-FRESHMEN GUESTS OF SENIOR-FRESHMEN On Wednesday, March 17th, the members of the Senior-Freshmen class of St. Margaret’s Academy entertained their sister class, the junior-Freshmen, at a St. Patrick’s party. A program given by the Seniors was a feature of the entertainment. The president, Mary McCabe, gave an address, and the Senior-Freshmen composed and sang a song in honor of the Juniors. Games were played and the girls danced to music furnished by Vivian Flesch. At four-thirty o’clock a delightful luncheon was served in the sehtx)! dining-hall. 49 A r. t . A . A A T' S .

A PARODY Once upon an evening dreary, As I lingered, worn and weary, W ith a man who really was a bore, s I sat t here almost napping, Suddenly there came a tapping As it’ Dad were gently rapping, Rapping on the upper floor. That is Dad,” I softly whisper’d, “Tapping on the upper floor,” Simply that and nothing more. Ah, distinctly I remember, It was in the warm September, And he was twice as stupid as he’d Kver been before, Kagerlv I wished his going; he'd, alas! No way of knowing Knowing how his wisdom cloyed me, (messing how his voice annoyed me, I low it would forevermore. Presently my soul grew stronger, I could keep from speech no longer; “Sir,” I said, “Oh humbly your forgiveness I implore, Rut the truth is I am sleepy, And your stories, gay or weepy, Really, simply, fail to keep me l Yom dreamland's drowsy shore. Not the least resistance made he, Not one moment stopped or stayed he, Just walked out my Dad's front door. Simply this, and nothing more. Be this night our final parting, Man or beast,” I cried then starring I p the stairway toward the second floor. Soon I heard his auto heaving And at last I heard him leaving. Leaving me forevermore. Simply this ami nothing more. I' . Ml I.LIN, ’20. Once in a hundred years, A curious thing appears, Mrs. Crosse forgets to come.

Delages, Superintendent of Schools, Quebec, Canada; Misses Angele and Lucienne Petit, branch students at St. Catherine’s College, St. Paul; anil Miss Le Ixmpp, of Macalester College have since been added. The aim of “le Cercle,” as expressed in the Constitution, is “to promote fluency of expression in the French language and to promote an interest in all things French.” “Le Cercle” meets bi-monthly, conducts business in French, and closes with a little entertainment furnished either by some of the members or, when available, by outside talent. A musical program, consisting of selections from French composers, executed by Miss Geraldine Gillis, and vocal solos by Miss Frances Pape, both of the graduating class of St. Catherine’s College, elicited much praise. Miss Le Loupp, in a very pleasant informal talk on the manners and customs of her native Bretagne,” won the interest and the hearts of her hearers. 65 .v T.

The officers and a good representation of the members of the association entertained the class of 1920 at an informal tea on Saturday, May 1st. The gathering was held at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The setting, the entertainment, and, above all, the entertainers, were charming. F.very girl in the class feels highly honored to be admitted into the Sr. Margaret’s Alumnae Association. The annual business meeting of the association was held in the Academy parlors on Saturday afternoon, June 5th. The first matter of business, and the most important, was the formal introduction of seventy new members, followed by their initiation into the secrets of the society. After Miss Taaffe’s timely address, the members discussed the drive which they have launched to compensate for tire losses at the Academy.
