It has been the privilege of the Class of Twenty-Eight to have had Father Keefe as an instructor during their entire high school career. Although words are incompetent to portray the service he has rendered us. yet we feel that our Memory Book would be incomplete without our frail attempt to remind him of our deep appreciation and gratitude. His course in Apologetics, his Question Box. his splendid lecture on Science Religion made our Senior Religion work very interesting. In his scholarly, yet simple way. he has clarified the outstanding principles of our Catholic belief, and instilled into our hearts a just and holy pride in the grand old Faith of the ages. Through his inspiration may our dear Class never falter in their quest for Ideal Christian Womanhood. Dorothy Stoat. REV. GEORGK NV. KEEFE The Sophomore and Freshman Religion Classes greatly appreciated Father Doran’s Lectures. His whole-serious, yet half-humorous manner of expounding his subject meets the approval of all his young hearers, and makes his lecture hour not only most profitable, but also very pleasant. His talks on Sin. Faith, the Commandments, and the Beatitudes were clear, forceful, and convincing. His sincerity and earnestness have claimed our reverence. His pleasant smile, and his flashes of wit have dispelled fear, and won our friendship. May the seeds of light and wisdom which he has scattered among us find no barren soil, but bring forth a rich and heavenly harvest. Patricia Rochester. % 11 REV. CHARLES F. DORAN

Aii Appreciation Etching high lights of dear school life, a familiar, priestly figure stands smiling on the rostrum. A holy torch bearer is he. with a heavenly message for the Grail Seekers. It is Father Reardon, in his ever friendly attitude towards Saint Margaret's. To him. then we gratefully and reverently dedicate this page of our Memory Book. While admitting our inability to garb, in becoming language, the debt of gratitude we owe him. we know that he is great enough to recognize our willing effort. In the days of his heaviest burdens and greatest worries, while completing the Basilica of Saint Mary, he was our prompt and faithful weekly lecturer. In our all-school and Alumnae religious activities, the grand Basilica is ours, with unstinted splendor of light and music. We sense his willingness to serve us in any way. and feel at home to ask a favor of him at any time. T he Class of Twenty-Eight shall ever hold Father Reardon s name in grateful veneration.

77k Djyesye. Signor Silvio Scionti. our Visiting Music Director, is one of the most brilliant pianists of this country. As a member of the American Conservatory he has attained foremost rank as an instructor. His numerous recitals throughout the country have won him enthusiastic commendation from the entire musical and daily press. He is an honored soloist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Though a native of Sicily, he made his studies at the Conservatory of Naples, under such Masters as Cesi, Martucci and Rosso-mandi, graduating with highest honors at the early age of nineteen. Like all great people. Signor Scionti is approachable and sympathetic. When we play for him we feel that he is our Big Brother. Saint Margaret's Music students realize and appreciate the privilege of Signor Scionti's masterly criticism and kindly help. Betty Anne Plunkett. SIGNOR SILVIO SCIONTI Mr. Beck, our Choral Director, is a very important instructor at Saint Margaret’s, and is prominent in the musical activities of our City. On Sundays he makes the very walls of the grand Basilica of Saint Mary vibrate with rich harmonious tones. Thrilled, we ask ourselves. What must Heaven s music be?” On 'Tuesdays at the eleventh hour. the monotony of tasks suspends for a tuneful period, while we sing and listen to the song of life. The crowning glory of this year’s choral work will be the rendition, at Commencement. of Mozart's Magnificat. arranged by Professor Beck for women’s voices. The class of 'Twenty-Eight wish to assure Mr. Beck that Chorus Hour will ever live among happy memories. Lorraine Mulheran. 12
