Our Study Hall “This learning—what a thing it is! •) rip IS a dear, dear place whose memories will play upon our heartstrings for-ever.

In our ears resound the learned lectures, and the rich strains of the lost chords that our Music Master drew from the old grand. But most of all. it was Our Study Hall. Hilclegarde Leese.

Our Prefects, in their royal dignity. Kept peaceful quiet, far from din and strife. While every maid most earnestly pursued Her quest to find the grail of higher life. 27 Susan DeVoy.

Our Friendship Stairs O wonderful, grand old stairway, With carvings rich, unique! But grander and richer the memories Thy rise and tread could speak! HAT a host of memories this scene recalls! Many abreast, merrily down they go. those dear, sweet girls of S. M. A.

This little refrain from 'The Winter's Tale” gives the atmosphere: “Jog on. jog on. the foot-path way. And merrily hent the stile-a.“ In mystic vision, we call back all the girls of twenty years, and file them down the same old place in the same old way—but how changed the faces, the voices, the news! 26 Lorraine Mulheran.

We are reaching through His laws, To the garment-hem of Cause. THE great Agassiz said that the laboratory was a place of worship, into which he went with reverence to trace the laws of God. It is a kindred spirit that urges our chemistry students to undertake their daily work, so that under the safe guidance of our devoted Teacher, we come in closer contact with the elements of Nature, and hear the still, creative Voice that called them forth from chaos. Holy Church is the Mother of science. Light, more light. are words ever on her lips, for she recognizes true science as a “Divine Philosophy. Virginia Libby. 28
