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. Margaret Chamberlin, ’20. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet.” 27

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.
