THE S Y E □ Mr. J. J. Beck Mr. E. Prat field Mr. Win Bridgrt T. Hay Mr. Beck's lecture on the Liturgical Chant was indeed splendid. Mr. Beck brings to his platform a life devoted to music in practice and research, and a deep knowledge and appreciation of the grand richness of Liturgical music. Doctor Peatficld. noted convert to the faith, has become well known through his lectures. His story runs like Newman's, and that of many grand souls, who. when they saw the light, followed it at the cost of all that was near and dear. His message to us was to be proud of our Religion, and to keep to Catholic Education. Mr. Witte, noted Shakespearean reader, gave us an artistic interpretation of The Merchant of Venice.” Mr. Witte's versatility of voice made his delination of Shylock. Antonio, and Portia, vivid 3nd masterful. Miss Hayes, former teacher of English in the public schools, gave us two excellent lectures on The Criteria of a Good Book. and on Correct English.” Miss Hayes brings to us years of experience, a profound reverence for her work, and a deep interest in growing youth. Signor Silvio Scionti. our Visiting Music Director, will not soon be forgotten by the Music students of our Class, who have enjoyed his masterly supervision, and his artistic recitals. Mr. Scionti is one of the most brilliant pianists of America. Mr. Joseph Mannix. world traveler and noted lecturer, gave us an instructive talk on various countries of the world. Especially interesting were his descriptions of Australia and the Straits Settlements. His unusual command of English, and his very pleasing personality gave added interest to his lecture. Mrs. Crosse. Dramatic Interpreter and Lecturer, has a national reputation in a wide field of material. Her well equipped mind, her personal grace and dignity, lend themselves happily to her success as an orator. Her Course of Lectures on Social Usage served as a splendid final number on our Lecture Program. Mr. Mannix Kind ten Signor Scionti Theodoua Crone

Father Reardon's voice was first heard at the Opening Mass, early in September. In his usual practical, convincing, and instructive way. he laid before us the spiritual and intellectual privileges and responsibilities of our course at St. Margaret's Academy. We later heard him lecture on the trip to Carthage. All aboard for the Eucharistic Congress at Carthage, the Passion Play at Obcrammergau. and the Cathedrals at Rome.' In this splendid lecture. Father took us on a very interesting imaginary trip, and we never missed a point of interest from New York to Rome, and back Home again. “Come apart and rest awhile Father Doran was our spiritual Retreat Master this year. His personal interest in St. Margaret’s students, as well as his deep earnestness for the success of the Retreat, served to make lasting impressions. Father Jennings, in his Lecture Course, set before us a code of Ideals for Christian young women. He also expounded the Encyclical of Pope Pius XI on Christian Education of Youth. ' Father Brand's Religion Course on the Mass, the Missal, and the Sunday Gospels was very instructive. His Question Box was an interesting feature of the work. He also Rev. W. A. Brand Eighteen
