 THE out-going class of Saint Margaret's takes great pleasure in setting down in this volume a few words of appreciation and gratitude to Father Reardon for his splendid lectures. His very helpful talks, while deeply educational and scientific, were plain, forceful and convincing. Through them he opened up a vista of the wonder and beauty of God’s works, and imparted to our young minds something of his keen perception of the illusions and delusions of life, and of his own beautiful vision of things eternal. Ethel Shhpro Rev. J. M. Reardon ST. MARGARET'S ACADEMY has no truer friend than Father Keefe. It was our good fortune to have had him as an instructor during our freshman and sophomore years. Although Father Keefe always talked from Sinai and from the Mountof the Beatitudes. his pleasing manner of approaching serious subjects, as well as his occasional humorous digressions, held the attention of our untutored minds. His message to us was to be practical Catholics, ever ready to answer for the faith that is in us. It is needless to add that his talks have had a vitalizing influence on our lives, which wc earnestly hope will go on forever. Dorothy Slater Rev. Geo. W. Keefe : 3 11

Jdcu U £- TO our distinguished lecturer. Mr. George Benson Hewetson. we are indebted for a series of talks on English masterpieces. The ring of genuine sincerity which characterizes Mr. Hewetson’s utterances, quickened our appreciation for the true and beautiful. His earnest plea for the cultivation of self-expression was paramount in every lecture. Although enlisted in the apostolatc of literature. Mr. Hewetson’s platform often changes to a pulpit. His ever-present vision of 'l abor intrudes itself into all his talks. At such times his face seems to ' shine as the sun.'' as with no slight reluctance, he calmly comes down from the Mount. Constance Carroll Mr. G. B. Hewetson NO more popular instructor claims a place on S. M. A. staff than Mr. Beck. Just a few minutes before eleven o’clock he ushers himself in the west door, his head tossed to one side, and playing a tunc with his bunch of keys. He is soon lost in the swarm of girls, hurrying from the Cafeteria, moving with accelerated velocity towards the Study Hall. Mr. Beck is a big brother then, just one of the crowd, laughing and chatting familiarly with any near-by Miss. When all are assembled, and the big clock thrills the hour, he suddenly ceases to be Mr. Beck and assumes the dignity of our Music Director. Instantaneously. Big Baby Grand responds to his magic touch, and the walls of dear S. M. A. vibrate with harmonious parts of a Mar-chetti's “Ave Maria.” or a Busch's Song of Spring. That chorus hour, and our splendid Music Master shall ever live among pleasant memories. 12 •: Mr. J. J. BF-CK Myrna McGillis
