Among the brave historic band who helped in the making of Minnesota and of the Twin Cities, the Sisters of St. Joseph who answered Bishop Cretin s call for teachers, have played no minor role. At eight o’clock on the night of October twenty-eighth. 1851. four Sisters boarded the Steamer “Saint Paul.” at St. Louis harbor, to sail for the then far north. They were Mother Saint John Fournier and Sister Philomene. both of France. Sister Scholastica Velasquez of Saint Louis, and Sister Frances Joseph Ivory of Loretta. Pennsylvania. As winter was nearing and the ice was fast forming in the river, the steamer made only the necessary stops, and landed in Saint Paul on the night of November second. On awaking next morning, the Sisters, after adoring and thanking God. went on deck to scan the surroundings of their “Field Afar. To those who hailed from Sunny France or from our own southern clime, the outlook on that cold November morning was rather bleak and desolate. But difficulties nourish the courage of the brave, and love of the Master they served, fed inspiration s flame. Bishop Cretin, having been notified of the Sisters' arrival, sent a French I 11 1 cleric to conduct them to the home of Madame Turpin, who received them kindly, and ministered to their needs. A few hours later. Bishop Cretin, accompanied by an ecclesiastical student, came to welcome the Sisters, and to introduce them to the home prepared for them. The small structure that was to house them was the former Episcopal residence, the later Theological Seminary, and was now to be the first Convent in Minnesota. It was a small, one-story shanty, overlooking the great Mississippi. thatched and desolate. Through its cracks the blizzard moaned, and at its door the wild wolf often howled. But the Sisters came to teach, and they lost no time in making ready for their loved task. On November tenth, one week after their arrival, the first Saint Joseph’s Academy opened its doors to students in the Vestry of the Old Log Cabin Church on Bench Street. The record of struggle, development and progress that followed would require a volume in itself. Every story of pioneer life reads like a legend. It fascinates, it thrills, it inspires, it shames us. Poverty, indifference, hardship, labor, stubborn circumstances failed to dim the vision of our God-loving Sisters, who passed their spirit on to their successors. Seventy-five years of faithful service, and of generous clinging to high ideals are crystallized in forty-five convents, thirty-nine parochial schools, three academies, five hospitals, two orphanages and one college. May God speed and bless the work in the future as in the past, and may all who follow the Lamb under the banner of Saint Joseph prove as generous in His service as were the valiant pioneer Sisters. I 12 1 Years Ago Two Hundred and Seventy Years Ago. the Sisters of St. Joseph had the first draft of their Constitution approved, received the religious habit, and were given the glorious title of Saint Joseph by the co-founders, the Bishop of LePuy and Father Medaille, S. J. During the French Revolution, their convents and chapels being confiscated, they were forced to disband. One Hundred and Ten Years Ago. Mother Saint John Frontbonne reorganized the Institute from the ashes of that burning persecution. Ninety Years Ago. the Sisters of Saint Joseph made their first foundation in the United States at Carondelct. in the Diocese of Saint Louis. Seventy-five Years Ago. the Sisters of Saint Joseph landed in Saint Paul to begin their mission work. SIXTY Years Ago. the Sisters of Saint Joseph in the United States severed connection with France, and organized independently under the title of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet. These are a few of the historic preliminaries which made Saint Margaret’s possible, and which for us. culminates in our happy Commencement Day. Louise Kloss AS THE slanting rays of the Jubilee Sun steal ■L through our western windows, they leave a feeling of reverence and veneration for the Sisters who brought our work in Minnesota to its present happy condition. Valiant women were they. Women of granite mold, with strong minds, great hearts, deep faith, and willing hands. Although none of the original band are left to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee, our two Senior Sisters. Mother Seraphine Ireland and Mother Jane Frances Bouchet. both former Provincials. knew them, shared their life and labor, saw them pass, one by one. and saw others come in gentler times, to take their places. These dear Sisters form a link between the far past and the near future—between God and the present workers in the field. With hands uplifted, they daily plead that the zeal and charity of the community they so love may bring countless souls to the Feet of Christ. li e IB asllica of Saint Mary A Ll HOUGH very splendid and graphic descriptions of the Basilica of Saint Mary have appeared in recent publications, the Dayesye staff feel that they would sacrifice a page of glory were they not to enshrine between these covers, a glimpse of this great gem of art. From any angle of our campus, this magnificent structure attracts our gaze upward. It is an honor to Minneapolis. It is a lasting testimonial of the people's love and devotion to Christ, the King. Standing on an eminence in an ideal spot in our city, the twin towers lift their snowy whiteness to the sapphire skies. The golden cross, surmounting the dome, catches the amber dawn, glistens in the midday splendor, and scatters soft, soothing rays from the moonlight, and the blinking stars. From within and from without, this majestic pile of white Mount Airy granite seems to have caught some of the glory and splendor of the age-famed Temple of Mount Moriah. Its surpassing beauty has attracted the interest of 115 1 --------------------£ CU CA C- --------------- the most competent architects, all of whom have pronounced it unique and grand among the churches of America. The great project of erecting this stately edifice was launched by the late Archbishop John Ireland, was carried on by the former pastor. Reverend Thomas E. Cullen, and was brought to its now near glorious finish by the present pastor. Reverend James M. Reardon. The beautiful plan of the Basilica is the creation of the late E. L. Mas-queray, who spent on it intense thought, labor and research, and applied to its designing, the grandeur and simplicity of the cathedrals of Albi and Cahora. The style is an exquisite example of modern renaissance, generated from a combination of lintel constuction with Greco-Roman ornamentation, of which iMichael Angelo was one of the great exponents. Upon entering the vestibule of the majestic nave, the observer is impressed by the simplicity and grandeur of the interior. The rich Mankato stone walls, varying in shade from cream to buff, lend themselves harmoniously to the blue and gold, always Mary’s own colors. The wealth of the renaissance ornamentation in the arched ceiling of the; nave is a feast for the eye of the artist. The bronze-crowned confessionals along the side ambulatories are of white Tavernellc marble. The Stations of the Cross will be erected in the spaces between the confessionals. The chapels of Our Lady of Lourdes. Saint Joseph, the Sacred Heart. Saint Ann. Saint Patrick and the Little Flower are not yet completed. The beautiful stained glass windows, symbolizing the principal events in the life of the Blessed Virgin, and the Prophets who foretold the Messiah, are the work of Thomas J. Gaytee. of Minneapolis. The main rose window at the right of the Sanctuary, is the memorial window of the late Archbishop John Ireland. Approaching the Sanctuary from the east ambulatory, just at the entrance, is the wonderful Calvary Group, the Dying Savior, the Sorrowing Mother, and the Faithful John. The group was hand-carved from a single piece of Mankato stone, by John B. Garatti. of St. Paul. Our accomplished sculptor must have [16 1 ----------------oDays U £. ----------------- a great meditative mind, so perfectly has he caught the tragically sad expressions which must have been on the faces of the original Group of Golgotha. The intense, resigned agony on the dying Savior's face would move a heart of stone. The Sanctuary is appropriately the crowning glory of the Basilica. Here some artist’s great heart is built into the sculptured stone, and his great mind is etched in the wondrous scheme of beauty, which is. as Byron said of a great Roman Basilica. A fit abode wherein appear enshrined the hopes of immortality.” Surrounding the Sanctuary on three sides is a beautiful wrought iron grille, supported by twelve green Cippolin marble columns, each carved from a solid block. On a ledge of marble, supported by these twelve pillars, are life size figures of the Apostles. These figures are each carved from a solid block of Botticino marble, and are exact duplicates of the group in the Basilica of Saint John Latern in Rome. The all-marble baldachino. executed in Botticino Italian marble, with its huge columns of colored Pavonazzo. forms a fit setting for the main altar, which stands directly under the richly decorated dome. The altar, of white Carrara marble, is hand-carved, and carries no other decorations, save the golden door. On the summit of the baldachino. stands Mary Immaculate, in all her virgin beauty. Queen and Mistress of the House of God. So stands our great Basilica, simple, erect, sublime, keeping tranquil vigil over our loved city, and the busy throngs that hurry by. As we close this chapter of our book, our hearts spontaneously re-echo the prayer of the late Archbishop Ireland in his beautiful apostrophe to the Pro-Cathedral on the occasion of the Civic Dedication. November 2. 1913. I 17 1 ---------------£)cu 6 “Long reign Thou. Pro-Cathedral of Saint Mary, to bring God nearer to men. to bring men nearer to God—to do thy share in bestowing upon us what is far more precious, far more needed for peace and felicity, than copious gifts of earthly arts—the guardianship in time and in eternity, of the Eternal and Almighty God.

Just to keep to our theme. Progress, and to get the thrill of the pathless prairies, we have decided to go down in history as a band of Pilgrims, in quest of intellectual holdings. Moreover, to convince our audience of our classic culture r' and our histrionic tendencies, we have turned backward centuries beyond our immortal Shakespeare, to find' the most dignified form of dramatic expression, the 136| rectan —5 4 Jdcu eAye. pageant. There with Aeschyles. Sophocles and Euripedes as our guides, we have transformed our S. M. A. Campus into an ancient Greek theatre, where in the spotlight of old King Sol. canopied by the azure dome, and timed by the music of the swift-winged zephyrs, we stage our little play.

The wreath of smiles on each beaming face that emerges from Room Seven, banishes all fear and timidity from the Pilgrim Maids. Having answered satisfactorily the questionnaire, each received a title claim to an Intellectual Plot, with detailed instructions for its cultivation. Each plot was hedged around by four major enemy tribes, bent on driving off the newcomers. If. after ten months, no border enemy had gained a footing, the settler received a permanent title deed, and the border tribes were forced to withdraw, but only to give place to four other savage hordes, more wily than themselves. The enemy made daily minor attacks, but periodically they fell upon the settlers with fierce fury. Many of our company were maimed or wounded on these occasions, but none were slain. There were times when the enemy hung out the flag of truce. It was then that we scampered across the campus fields to our Wayside Inn. where, refreshed with eats and gossip, we renewed our spirits for the fray. At the approach of Yulctide. all toil and turmoil ceased for a fortnight. We invited ourselves to a tea party, not at Boston but at Christman, we retired to our cabins for the home celebration.

( 39 | Early in the season, we decided to install in our now thriving village, a Master Clock, which, with almost human sense, would send its musical signals through the length and width of the land, announcing our various activities, and warning us of approaching danger. It proved a great success, and it still thrills out its musical warnings. If we forget a few light, fleecy clouds, our Second-Year sky was always blue. The battles of Get-out-ease and Chew-no-gum were mere skirmishes. So with few changes, no losses and many victories, we came to its happy end. carrying our sheaves and singing with The Throstle”: Summer is coming, summer is coming. I know it. I know it.

Leader ............................................ “Up from the meadows, rich with corn Clear on the cool September morn.” We come again to do our best. Thrilled by the lure of the Magic West. Maids: What cannot be said can be sung; What cannot be sung can be danced.” This gives the keynote of our Junior season, the gayest, sprightliest. happiest since our coming. We had felled the trees and grubbed the ground, and put all enemies to flight. Why should we worry now? 140 1 Dohnanyi Tschaikowsky Alice Culhane Twice four times we chased the border foe; Eight times again we ll prove them they must go. The battles of All-Peter-Tom and Chatta-No-Go were light skirmishes. But we must admit the Battle of Jumor Run taxed our fighting powers to the limit. Without even the war dance warning, a tribe of Yellow Sophomores and Green Freshmen challenged us to a battle for gold. They were led by a veritable Stonewall Jackson and a Light Horse Harry, who. by the way, was aided by some hidden Will-o’-the-wisp, who seemed to be everywhere at once, with scouts ambushed in every bush and brier. We were fleet-footed Minute Maids, every one of us. and through the skillful direction of our General, who though of low stature and heavy weight, was neither short-winded nor nearsighted. we outran the twofold enemy in the race. They truly showed us a merry chase, and we feared a Waterloo. But oh. the thrill of victory! Shall we ever forget it? Not we. Henceforth, all our battles were Above the Clouds, and luckily, we had no See-Fights. By courteous dealings with the vanquished, we created an ‘‘Era of Good Feeling” which proved lasting. Peace being now secure, we joined the Don’t Worry club, believing with Josh Billings, that It’s better to kno less than to kno so mutch that it ain't so.” Yet ever and anon, we heard the trumpet sounds from the dread battlements of eternity. For our local leaders, generously aided by zealous Missionaries from a near Basilica, kept our spiritual harps atune. Lest unawares we lose this, our high place, our sanctuary on the hill.”’ Still, we ever listened to the song of life, and heard the thrushs sing. “High on the old fringed-elm at the gate. Sweet voiced, valiant on the swinging bough. Alert, elate.” INTERLUDE “For sports, for pageantries and playes. We have our eves, our holidayes.” On which we merry maidens meet. To exercise our dancing feet. Tripping the comely country round. With daffodils and daisies crowned. Leader.......................................................

MAIDS____ Thus inspired, we entered upon our last year, and thus elated we hope to leave it. But it takes the night to bring out the stars. Although our sun was sometimes shadowed by battle smoke for a brief hour. We could always see by the dawn's early light. That our banner still waved through the thick of the fight. The Minima of the English Mechanic Tribe were Maxima aggressors, ever and anon disturbing the peace of some of our company. In one or more of these attacks, a few were almost fatally wounded. But knowing that. There are no beaten paths to Glory’s height. We struggled on in all our armor (light.’’ As the fame of our advanced culture spread abroad, many noted lecturers honored our assemblies. Early in the season. Doctor Davies, a famous ballad singer, sang his folk songs for us. He set us a-laughing, and we have been unable to stop ever since. Then came Doctor Walsh in comedy. Doctor Fouche in tragedy and Doctor Thompson in political romance. About mid-season, after a victorious struggle with border foes, the inhabitants of Saint Catherine-Durham Land invited us to a party. And such a party! Can we ever forget it? The magnificent chapel, the wonderful college buildings. the beautiful grounds, all encompassed by an atmosphere of refined culture. were an intellectual treat. Then the supper, the program, the dance, the play! But most of all. the courteous attention of the Elite and the common folk, all vying to give us a splendid time, made us feel so much at home that night fell all too soon. We came away with a hope in our hearts that when we are forced to make our exodus from the Land of Our Hearts' Desire, we may pitch our intellectual tents on the loamy land of Saint Catherine's. Dear plains of Saint Catherine, our choice of all lands. “We turn to you. lean to you. lift you our hands. But Hark! A Voice Is Calling!

How queer it seems that now the “Gentleman from Indiana and “The Lady of Shalott should be so closely united. It was on that Eve of Saint Agnes” that “Lucy Gray gave the Indian Serenade” accompanied by “Don Juan.” How “Young Lochinvar” loved it! “Alice of Old Vincennes recounted how she and “Slippy iMcGec” caught the Gold Bug In Old Virginia. We were also informed by “Alastor” that The Charge of the Light Brigade” was “In a Lecture Room” “In a Dreary Nighted December.” Later in the evening in the Secret Garden “Abou Ben Adhem and “Aenone chanted When the Lamp Is Shattered.” We spent a delightful evening, and at the “Witching Hour” I glanced at the “Hour Glass' and quickly donned my “Green Helmet. only to find that Christabel was Spreading the News about the “High Romance of “Jock of Hazeldean and the Maid of Athens. These were some of our “Crowding Memories.” At a play in the evening we marvelled at the great number of classical and world-famous personages we had met at Saint Margaret's, which is really A Woman’s Fortune.

I first toiled over the quotations and speeches in The Merchant of Venice.” every gossiping thoroughfare has appealed to me as a “Rialto. The term very aptly applies to dear old S. M.

But in case we become too deeply absorbed at mid-day period, we are apt to be brought back to reality by a thump from a freshman’s volley ball. Then, too, our Rialto is an ideal place to practice that graceful, illusive way of walking across Commencement Stage to get our sheepskins.

Virginia Henning 151 1 JdayeAyc $ Pleasant Memories OF THE M. H. S. P. A. CONVENTION IDIOMS proved very confusing to some of our brilliant seniors. For further particulars, interview the senior who lost considerable time going from room to room looking for the round tables for the “Round Table Session.'' Our enterprising delegates, while attending the convention, succeeded in gaining admittance to a sorority. Seeing a notice that a tea party” would be given at Shelvin Hall for the delegates, they eagerly directed their steps that way. Here they mistook a gathering of the “Bib and Tucker” for the party. Entirely oblivious of their mistake, they graciously partook of the standing lunch, ice cream, cake and candy. They then seated themselves in the reserve section for the program. It was during the progress of this program that their awkward mistake dawned upon them, and they quietly stole away. Were they noticed? The question burned them. Five distinguished looking girls in Peter Toms, wearing the red badges, could hardly escape the eye of the casual observer. O.

We met on this great field of learning. We immediately engaged in the great Battle of Books, testing whether that knowledge, or any other knowledge, might long endure among us. We came, we saw. we conquered.” We now dedicate our portion of the field to the worthy Juniors who follow. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave girls, living and dead, who struggled here before us. have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. They handed us the torch. We pass it on. Hence, we highly resolve that our devoted predecessors shall not have labored in vain: that this Land of Saint Margaret's shall have a new birth of prosperity: and that this Institute of Learning under God. by the learned and for the learners, shall not perish from the earth.

As on the widening vista of our dream. In strength of God. we see Saint Margaret’s stand. We bear the torch we lit at thy dear shrine Of faith and hope and love, dear S. M. A.. A Christ-light, that through fogs and mists shall shine To flash a lustrous trail upon our way. O Beacon Light! O Alma! grow not dim. Until “upon the waves we come to Him. JdcU £ UfC P3ie King s Gall 0 let me mount some steep Himalayan hill. Above, beyond the mart of cares and fears. And lure God’s cherished world to halt, be still, Forgetting for the nonce, its griefs and tears. And rest, and hark, and hear the Voice Divine So drowned amid the maddening rush for gold— I'd thrill His yearning message. Children Mine. 1 am your King, your Friend, your Wealth untold.” But while I pass adown the crowded ways. And note the hurrying steps, the faces set.

(70 1 9 $ Jdcu tM a, TLe Charter Colony of 1 wenty-Seven WE ARE the famous Colony of Twenty-seven. You have, no doubt, heard of our marvelous progress on Saint Margaret s soil. Do we not. even in appearance, suggest a wonderful future? Ours is a voluminous history, but we shall try to tell it to you in a few words. In the Fall of 1923. having been forced from the Elementary Kingdom, we set sail for a new land. After a troublesome voyage, we anchored on Saint Margaret's banks. The atmosphere and general appearance at first was very foreboding, but finally we settled down. We soon discovered that other adventurers had taken the same road as we. and were successful, so why could we not be? During our first year we were known as the Royal Freshman Colony, because we had so few rights from Parliament or King. It was rather a trying period, but all such endurances lead to success. Our land was frequently confiscated: we were blamed for all annoying uprisings on the territory, and had no independence. In the second year, however, we asserted our just claims and became more independent. We were then known as the Proprietary Sophomore Colony, invested with certain inalienable rights and privileges. Gradually, we conquered all besetting obstacles, and became the present Charter Junior Colony. Our high dignity and prestige is now unquestionable, and we are regarded with sincere respect. To us now fall great responsibilities. We have chosen our standard, and intend soon to celebrate the Charter Festival. It will be a great event, and bring nearer the realization of our fondest hopes and desires. As we look back, we realize that life is not all one grand sweet song. Themes, book reports, tests, theorems, note books, have all tried earnestly to block the paths of the Twenty-seven Colony, but naturally, they eventually became subdued. So now let us give three cheers for the Colony of Twenty-seven. May its members always live nobly and accomplish the cherished ideals of their school. I 71 1 Josephine Gaffney JdcU tMfC- THE Faculty and student body of Saint Margaret’s congratulate Rosemary Bowers as the winner of the second prize in the Diocesan Essay contest on “The Divinity of Christ.” Rosemary has always been a faithful and diligent student and her success brought with it no great surprise.

You’ll find us Juniors smiling. Mary Lane Raue Lunch I .four There were wieners by the dozen. And fresh buns by the score. Brought from butcher and baker To feed many hundreds and more.

Dorothy Hel wig I 72 | ---------------oQayeAt C' —’--------------- Diet DIET'! Such a little word, carrying such a weight of meaning. Yes. indeed. it is a difficult and endless procession of mortifications. Our plump friends grasp it as a life-saver, and suffer in silence as they observe great Diet's restrictions. They gaze with wistful and hopeful eyes at one of those absurd “Before and After Dieting'1 pictures. The “Before'' is represented by an extremely fleshy woman, resembling the famous fat lady of the circus. The “After.” of course, shows a very slender person, on whom the hopes of the dieter are founded. This fad is carrying its invasion everywhere, even into the schools. In our cafeteria you may see girls longingly gazing at the food counter. then suddenly turning away. lest they be tempted to eat more. What a trying situation! Then, perhaps you may sec one diligently jotting down some figures and say to yourself. “My. what a studious child, doing her problems in her spare time. A problem indeed it is. but not a school task. The supposed studious one is figuring the number of calories contained in certain foods. Such are the ways of Diet! Kathryn Busch Pests Please lend me a nickel, my dearie. And tomorrow I'll sure pay it back. For I need a bun. dear darling.

King I lie Sparrow NE of the creatures which we are inclined to disregard or underestimate, is the sparrow. Many of them are inhabitants or guests on the S. M. A. campus, and we girls have a chance to observe them at close range. We notice them when they are searching diligently in the bushes for seeds. T he merit of a few crumbs given to them is returned in kind with an excuse of a song. These hardy little creatures remain in the North during the winter, depending on stray crumbs and cold charity for food. It is often said of the sparrow that no matter how good or how bad the weather, or how hungry or satisfied he is. he never mopes. Let us not scorn the trying little sparrow, for he has won honorable mention in Scripture. I have a little History Book that goes in and out with me. And what can be the use of it is more than I can see: It bothers me an awful lot from morning until night. And then I’d like to take that book and chuck it from my sight. The funniest thing about it is why should I have to know. Why all these quaint old people did just thus and so. Some of them were dreadful and others not so bad. But sometimes I think their names will almost drive me mad. Dorothy Hehvig Parody of My Shadow”—Stevenson Katherine 'Thayer [74 1 CaugLt in flue Act Scene: Near the campus, and in the hall.

King Election sent us a proprietor early in our second colonial year, bearing the official title of Class Adviser. Under royal government we had few chances for colonial assemblies, and so when we called side meetings, we could accomplish nothing, as all wanted to talk at once. On the appearance of the proprietor, all this was changed. Questions were brought up. discussed and voted upon in an orderly manner. The most important question at our last assembly was our February Frolic. T he proprietor was most agreeable. We wanted an old-time celebration of St. Valentine's day. and we had it. A vote of thanks to our proprietor. Good news has lately reached us from our Mother Country. King Goodness having heard much about our peaceful and prosperous year, has decided to send us a charter, which will give us much greater liberty. We arc anxiously looking forward to its arrival, sometime early in June. But lest the royal master might decide, sometime, to withdraw our charter, we have planned to protect it. even as did our ancestors of an earlier date. Little Fluffy, the pet squirrel of the campus, has a hole high up in an old oak tree here, where he stores his winter supplies. We have appointed two nimble, fleet-footed girls who are to run up the tree and hide the charter, in case of any danger. If you happen in on the campus any time between classes, you will see these girls studying Fluffy's manner of ascent. We hope to find them running up the old oak tree in the near future. 181 1 Ruth Mayer £) ay eAyc A Week On Monday morning, truly blue, W arrive at school at a quarter to— Sleepy from the night before.

On Friday morning we heave a sigh. For one-fifteen is drawing nigh: Again we are as bright as May. When we leave school at close of day. Marie Lorenzen I History Ancient History we learn each day To know the world and all its ways: First the cave-man. so unlearned. By killing wild beasts his food he earned. Their tools were all made out of stone. Their weapons were of animal bone: Each cave-man in his own crude way Put civilization where it is today. Next comes Egypt, land of mystery. This is the part in our book of history That tells of pyramids, they are mammoth things. Which the Pharoahs built, in honor of kings. One of the gods was the great. long Nile: The length of the river is many a mile. Upon the pyramids many pictures they’d draw. Tho’ twas a funny fashion. I suppose twas the law. And so on all through the book we go. It’s interesting to watch civilization grow: And now. my friends, you’re convinced. I’m sure That Ancient History is to endure. Ethel Pettit I 82 | A. IVIemory Trip THE Spirit of Yesterday had taken us on many interesting trips. This time we asked to be shown the Minnesota of the past. After sailing up the Mississippi in small canoes'we landed near the present site of the Twin Cities with a little band of pioneers—hardy, stalwart men. and brave, noble women, ready to stand side by side, through thick and thin. No glamour of romance surrounded this undertaking for them. They knew that hardship and struggle would be their lot. yet they faced it with grim determination and indomitable courage. They came with scant supplies, relying on Providence and the resources of this new land, “on the shores of Gitchee-Gumee” for future provision. As the sun's rays sank lower on the vast prairie, the pioneers prepared to retire, for there were no electric lights to turn their night into day. During the following days we saw a settlement come into being: we saw what an attack by painted, yelping, arrow-shooting redskins meant to them. We followed them through the difficulties that beset them at every turn—the colorful, realistic panorama of pioneer life—its tragedy, its comedy, its drama were unfolded to us. so that we began to realize how much of the very life of these brave people was spent that Minnesota might be born and live. Jeanne Halloran I lie Sa ucy Student 'There was once a student Who thought she knew it all. She tortured all the teachers And was loud around the hall.

Some came timidly with steps alack. Some e’en looked like they’d want to turn back. But some came boldly, right up to the door As if they'd been there oft times before. They started to work with all their might, The way they took books home was a sight: They worked at Science and Algebra, too. Until X became Y or Y became U. Then to French they earnestly turned. And into English a path they burned; And so these freshmen ne’er became blue. But kept eagerly wearing their books thru and thru! So when the years go gliding by.

Mildred Downs [92 1 --------------------------------oDay dye. --------------- Art ART is the embodiment of beautiful thought in artistic form. By it all lovers of beauty are brought into contact with the strange, the harmonious, and the exquisite in life. Creations of Nature are enlivened, and their beauty is intensified by the loving touch of the artist's brush. Things that seem plain and commonplace to the careless observer assume boundless beauties when viewed through the glorifying eyes of the enthusiastic student of Art. Art trains the eye to be minutely observant and accurate, and awakens the faculties to a keen appreciation of harmony expressed in any form. A constant search for new beauties strengthens the appeal of loveliness and goodness in life, and beckons the young disciple of Art to the adoption of higher standards and ideals. “Art is to life what sunshine is to flowers. It is replete with human vitality, inspiring themes and heavenly inspirations. It speaks to all in the language of all, and its message may not be blotted out. It is the printing press of all times and tells us more of Greece and Rome than do Herodotus or Tacitus. It is the song of ages. Before time and beyond time, and after lime, it echoes down the long corridors, the song of sin and sorrow and strife, of virtue and valor and peace and love, which meet and mingle at last with the angelic music of the spheres. If we but pause and listen we shall hear the strain of the heavenly choir, and swell the chorus in the never-ending Alleluia. Virginia Benning Recruits We are artists, one and all. Some are great and some are small: Some can paint and some can draw. But the most of us are raw.

F.rin Fleming 196 1 £)cu c U c 0 ‘ MUSIC has been termed the truest League of Nations because it speaks a universal language and bears a message to the entire world. That Music Is Essential has been clearly proven by the ever-growing registration at Saint Margaret's. Under the direction of the faculty and the masterful tutelage of Mr. Silvio Scionti, our visiting director, the standard is yearly showing marked advance. Beginning early in February, a series of tri-weekly recitals were presented for six weeks. The Academy pupils gave the programs Mondays and Thursdays and the children of the grammar schools on Saturdays. The pleasure of these events was augmented by the general spirit of enthusiasm which has manifested itself in all musical activities. A diverting feature of the winter program was the contest on Rachmaninoff's C-sharp Minor Prelude, which was offered to all undergraduate students on December 16 and 17. The praiseworthy touch of personality which each performer put into the composition rendered difficult the task of the judges. However, honors were finally awarded to Kathryn Armitage. On April 24. the Academy presented Ruth Lundgren Thiede in her graduating recital, assisted by Ruth Helgcr. violinist. The program, rich in musical worth, revealed the pianist at her best. She will be remembered also for the favorable criticism accorded her when she appeared on a program of the Schubert club recently in Saint Paul. On this occasion she offered a group of compositions from Palmgren and Dohnanyi. 197 1 On April 25. seven graduate students appeared to advantage in a program of standard concertos. Following are the offerings of the respective students: Marcella Gillick MacDowell A Minor Catherine Quealy Beethoven C Minor Margaret McEachern MacDowell D Minor Verena Bernard Grieg A Minor Anne O’Hanlon Rubenstein D Minor Lillian Layden Schumann A Minor Ruth Sundgrcn Thiede I schaikowsky B-flat Minor Each pianist had the able and sympathetic support of Silvio Scionti on the second piano. Thelma Slattery, reader, was the capable assisting artist. Individual graduating recitals were given this year by the Misses Marcella Gillick and Verena Bernard. These students completed the Teachers' Certificate course last year, and have established successful teaching records. 'Their programs comprised both modern and classical numbers. In the Teachers’ Certificate class, joint recitals were given by Misses Alice Culhane and Annetta McCann; Marie Slattery and Josephine Gaffney: Evelyn Martin and Eileen Gillis. The interpretation of each number was characterized by unusual artistry, as each showed a clear conception of the content of the various numbers. Assisting on these programs were members of the Extension department. Students teaching this year at the various settlement houses, under the auspices of the Thursday Musical, include Josephine Gaffney. Eileen Gillis. Gertrude Bender. Annetta McCann and Alice Culhane. Catherine Quealy I 98 I NO SCHOOL is complete without its Dramatic Art department. Saint Margaret’s proves itself well in the lead in this respect. Though its department is young in years, it has progressed rapidly and well established itself. The activities of the department have been many and varied throughout the year. Early in September, classes were organized, and during October and November the following one-act plays were presented: “Miss Burnett Puts One Over was successfully played by our enterprising Freshmen, displaying unusual talent. We hope to see more of them in the future. The following week the Sophomores and Juniors presented an interesting play entitled “After the Game.” Closely following came the much-anticipated Senior plays. “The Borrowed Luncheon” and The Brown Paper Parcel.” in which Marie Slattery demonstrated her ability as a character actress. November saw the presentation of two one-act plays and a few miscellaneous readings, proving Helen Brombach. Lucille Blakeslee and Nettie Hanson accomplished artists of the footlights. 1991 cDayedyc 0 In December, a Nativity play by Laurence Hausman was presented b the Expression pupils of Saint Margaret’s in the auditorium of the asi ica. One of the first treats of the New Year enjoyed by the students was a recital given by Miss Thelma Slattery. Miss Slattery delighted her audience with the reading of the play “Smilin’ Through.” In April. Mary Meyer and Betty Ann Plunkett, two of our budding artists, were heard in a recital of interesting readings. I hey were assisted by Mary Eugenia North in violin numbers. The following week Gertrude Krueger and Ruth Mayer gave a joint recital of dramatic worth. They displayed great ability and self-ease on the platform. Miss Anne O’Hanlon graced the program by rendering two groups of piano solos. On April 22. two one-act plays, “Mechanical Jane” and Three Dear Friends” were presented by the Expression class. Each member of the cast did her part creditably. On May 23. Thelma Slattery gave a splendid interpretation of the play “The Heart of Youth.” She was assisted on the program by Lillian Layden and Anne O’Hanlon, who gave two groups of piano solos.

His theme was “The place of the spiritual in the world. Miss Eleanore Reynold, the Alumnae president, gave a brief account of the convention of the Minnesota Division of the National Council of Catholic Women. She urged alumnae members to offer their services, and become leaders in parish work and social service. The very artistic musical program was furnished by Miss Anne O'Hanlon and Miss Helen Malcy.

PACE I 102 | £ CU C Uj£- $§■£ THE Freshmen and Sophomores of Saint Margaret’s have no Blue Mondays.” The tramp of marching feet, the thud of bouncing balls, mingled with shouts of joy may be heard all day on the campus, as the various groups take gymnasium during their free period. Such inharmonious sounds may distract the serious Seniors, or arouse envious feelings in the hearts of the jolly Juniors, as they pass to and from the classes and watch us at our games. But their annoyed or wistful looks only make us feel more important, and spur us on to just show them what we can do. The sharp note of Mrs. Kelley's shrill whistle, or her rhythmic one. two. three. sound more musical to our ears than any bell except the dinner bell: and the bell which closes the period has no ring for us. but a lonesome toll. Come and join the merry games Of the freshmen-sophomore dames: Fleet of foot and light of heart. Watch us play the winning part.

Catherine Murray [ 104 1 Senior WE DO hereby solemnly declare to our Immediate Successors: That the silence in the study hall is oppressive: That it may germinate cephalitis: That it is the duty and the privilege of the Seniors to supply the antidote, loquacity. It is the mandate of Our Highness that Sister Mary Honor serve teas, luncheons and favors at 1:15 assemblies, thereby to secure more solemn silence in the study hall and a more willing attendance at these extra sessions of the Senate and the House. Bear ye in mind that: The fact that ye arc Seniors insures the fact that ye shall graduate. Fret not. Worry not. Study not. Break ye up this gloomy silence in halls and on the stairs, by greeting all passers-by. Be ye sociable everywhere. God loveth the cheerful — High and noble Seniors of 1927. be ye not solicitous about arriving at the House of Studies on time. Any time is soon enough. Haste not. Hurry not. Be dignified, noble Seniors, wear ye not those somber, mutilated Peter Toms. Decollete is more becoming to your dignity, and attracts much more attention. If study hour seems too long, too tame, it is an indication that spring fever is developing in your system. Seek out your best friend, and together betake yourselves to the library and make research for a cozy corner and friendly gossip. Bear in mind that lecture and chorus periods were set apart for the con- I 1061 Jdcu iMfe. venience of those who find it impossible to consume all the eats they purchase at the Wayside Inn. Bring ye all that has not vanished to the study hall, and there eat ye. while ye be entertained. Be it known to our worthy successors that week-end study is a mental luxury in which it were not wise to indulge, lest you destroy a venerable tradition. The teachers are accustomed to Green Mondays. Keep ye their memory of you green. Given this First Day of April. 1926. Under the Seal of Senior Sophistry.

Tragedy in T hree Acts BRIEF OUTLINE Principal Characters—Eighty-seven Seniors. Subordinate Characters—The Photographer, the Birdie. Time—February. 1926. Place—English IV Class Room—Golling-Hesse Studio. Act I—Comedy Preliminary Events—Sister announces that all senior proofs must be submitted for approval within ten days. Rising Action—Complication!! All seniors register excited anticipation. Dreams, visions of beautiful, wonderful me. Falling Action! Act II—Romance Preliminary Events—Marcel? Water Wave? Cut? Primping hour in dressing room at studio. The climax is reached when Miss Senior poses for the all-important event. Operator-Monologue: ‘‘Incline your head a little this way. please—No. not so much. There, that’s fine. Now look pleasant. No. don’t smile, please, just pleasant. I said. A little more natural, please. Watch the birdie. See the monkey. Ready. All right.’’ The palpitating victim is allowed to relax, just for another pose: 3nd so the ordeal is repeated four times. Act III—Tragedy Time—Two days later. Scene—Golling-Hesse Studio. Complications!! Denouement!!! Catastrophe!!!! [108 1 'for The proofs arc handed to Miss Senior, who nervously opens the envelope and anxiously scans Dear Me. But Oh! What a sight! She pallors! She sighs! She gasps! Her steps are heavy. Her mouth is full of adverse adjectives, which would not sound flattering over the radio. She controls herself until she reaches Room Two. when all the complimentary terms burst forth at once. “Sister, do you want to see my proofs? They’re just terrible—I hate them—they're horrible! Frightful! Shocking! Shameful! Resolution “I won t take them. I must sit again. Moral Only the photographer has the power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as ithers see us!” Conclusion All freckles, pimples and other minor facial blemishes come out in the wash. We arc all flattered. Our faces are beautiful. And we shall live happy forever after. Muchas Gratias, Golling-Hesse. Slow Curtain. Catherine Murray I 109 1 -4S.0 cu £ y. T__TUMOR plays an important role on the stage of life. Kings and poten- tates of former ages knew its worth and paid Fools and Jesters to make them forget, betimes, their cares and worries. Let us catch the play of humor in the prism of life. Humor shows us the rift in the cloud And turns out the silver lining: Whether our troubles be one or a crowd. It scatters the gloom by its shining. Evelyn Champlin A F ami ]j Outing ONE morning in jolly June. Father Wit. being in a jovial mood, said to Mother Mirth: Let’s go on a picnic today. Glad and glorious. said Mother Mirth. We have a bonny supply of gayety. hilarity, exhilaration and jollity on hand. Sister Merry can pack the lunch and Brother Sport can wash the car while I dress Baby Humor. In three shakes they were all yelling All aboard! Father Wit drove up his Ford, which he called Jolly Jumper because it could ford swamps, jump creeks and fly mountains. He tooted, and in a twinkling, baskets, babies and the whole family were piled in. I HOI Jdcu e Uf£. They took the Sunny Laughter Trail to the Merrymake Lake, near the Forest of Pranks. Jolly Jumper was parked in the shade of Jocund Grove, near Jocose Creek. Feeling very vivacious after the games of fun. frolic and fantasy, they partook lavishly of their ludicrous lunch, and then piled into Jolly Jumper to speed to their humorous home, called Caper Cot. They returned by the Joker Trail over the Comic Highway, touching only the sportive top spots, singing silly songs and declaring that it was the jollicst jovial June day of their exuberant exultation. Florence Murphy HUMOR O. Humor is a jolly sprite He follows you ’most every place— That makes you laugh and grin. To school, to church, to prayer: And starts a tickling round your heart And when you try to be so good. That just can't be kept in. You look and find him there. But when you're feeling sad and blue. And everything goes wrong. He’s always waiting with a smile To greet you with a song. Dorothy Casey A DRAMA OF LIGHT Setting Time—Sunset: Place—In the West.

Qtirk.'t The Dayesye Presents Its Advertisers I 119 1 pprecn aia on Nothing great or good can be accomplished in this world without the aid of friends. The most helpful of these make up that silent group that give you the word of encouragement and the smile of approval behind the scenes. Mother Francis Clare realizes the amount of labor that must go into this book. We know in how many ways she helped us. Sister Henrica loves the DAYESYE, and is untiring in her efforts to make it a success. The Faculty Members inspire their pupils to contribute writings and procure advertisements. Mr. Davitt has done all that a father or brother could do for us. He loves the DAYESYE. The engravings testify to his deep interest. Mr. McCabe has adopted the DAYESYE as his very own. It has grown up under his lender, watchful care. It could not live without him. Mr. Loehlin expends his splendid experience in making the DAYESYE attractive. Colling and Hesse are responsible for our good looks and for many valuable helps. Miss Reeves was more than queenly in her courtesy to us all. But unless our loyal friends had advertised. DAYESYE could not appear on the stage of life. We thank you all. The Dayesye Staff. ur F r lends Young-Quinlan gives you credit While Nielson's milk adds zest, Eventually, then why not now Let Hartman make your nest?” If hair’s your pride, use Herpicide” Or try LePage’s glue, And make your dollars have more sense' They’ll build a home for you. If ten dollars you would save. Just walk a flight upstairs:” It's in the cure.” says Dinty Moore: For headache ills use Bayer’s.” Vacation days at Seton Camp— A trunk? Just visit Barnum’s— For writing home to city friends. They’ll meet your needs at Farnham’s. And many more we’d like to name. Who'vc helped this enterprise. A hearty Thank You then we give Our friends who advertise. So when in need of anything. However great or small, Your dollar does its duty When you patronize them all.

Only 3 y2 inches exposure together with a reinforcing angle brace at the butt makes curling and flapping impossible. Wooden shingles have spaces between adjoining shingles through which heat can escape in winter. Imagine the loss one sustains from this cause besides the original labor and superfluous nails used in putting them on. The MASTER SLAB shingle is designed so as to overcome this defect by covering the roof like a blanket from ridge to caves, with no openings between shingles and they require only 4 nails. MASTER SLAB ROOFS are made in seven beautiful natural stone colors, unfading and permanent. Besides the plain colors, shingles of the various shades come already mixed in the proper proportion to give attractive cool and also warm variegated effects.

With thousands, the ownership of a Cadillac is a family tradition dating back to the days when Grandfather bought his first Cadillac, a quarter of a century ago. All through these 23 years Cadillac has consistently stood in the forefront of all the world’s motor cars. Eleven years ago Cadillac produced the first eight-cylinder engine— the basic foundation of Cadillac success in marketing more than 200.000 eight-cylinder Cadillac cars. Today the new 90-degree, eight-cylinder Cadillac is the ultra modern version of the motor car. Its luxury, comfort, performance and value reach heights of perfection beyond anything ever attained.
