 THE 1931 DAYESYE The Dais in Learning’s Castle Administration FROM the Dais in this Court Room may he traced the beginning, the unfolding, and the final enacting of our lives in the Castle of Saint Margaret’s. Here, as pages we tremblingly made our way along the wide corridor. The dim light filtering through the amber panes, gives a fairy-like api carance, which fascinated us. Timidly approaching the door, we were met with a kindly greeting by the Chief Lady of the Castle. Having questioned us minutely, she sent us on our way, glad that we were enrolled for knighth(x»d here. As pages, as squires, as bachelors, as knights, we often came here to settle our misgivings, and to be decorated for our victories. Here, at this Round Table, were discussed and decided all the affairs of the knights—their strength, their worth, their armor. Here in the archives, arc filed the records of our jousts, and here arc signed the charters which entitle us to go forth on the quest of life, in the service of the King. —Marion Wilcox. 118]

THE 1931 DAYESYE Professor Bates awakened in us a new interest and sympathy for the Indian. Mr. Nyman spoke on the needs of the Red Man, especially in Minnesota. Miss Dorothy Willman, Secretary to Father Lord, gave an inspiring account of sodalists and their mission, and drew for us a beautiful picture of the Virgin Mary, as a sweet lovely girl, alive to all life’s joys and interests. Miss Helen Blaisdcll, National President of the Quill and Scroll, gave a brief talk when she came to initiate twelve juniors into the Quill and Scroll. Father Troy aroused such deep interest in the foreign missions that we were all ready for China or the Jungles. Father Sulzman, lately ordained for the missions, by his illustrated talk, showed us Alaska in a new light, and awakened much interest in the missions of that land. Without doubt, the most enjoyable hour of the past year was an entertainment offered by Mr. Lawrence Keating, an actor of repute, now playing the role of Francois Villon, the hero in “If I Were King. Assisting Mr. Keating were Mr. John Todd, a famous Shakespearean reader, who recited Cassius’ speech to Brutus, Mr. Marc Williams, who sang solos with guitar accompaniments, and Mr. Kenneth Rowland, who gave a most interesting account of ancient and modern drama. And now the curtain falls on our Lecture Platform of Thirty-One, and the seniors are beginning to feel a trifle lonely. I 171 —Cecf.ua Donovan.

THE 1931 DAYESYE My Beloved Chapel DEAR Chapel mine, from thee I'm loath to part! No longer may I make my morning pray’r Within thy tiny walls, or raise my heart To Him, Who in the silence, dwelleth there. To Him. Who guided me along the way Of adolescent years, and changing path, Lest from the narrow road my feet might stray, And be at last encompassed by His wrath. When all the world seemed turned away from me, And naught of earth could give me back my peace. Then to my little Chapel 1 would flee, And kneeling there, my troubles seemed to cease. And though no magic splendor round thee falls, Dear Chapel mine, I love thy tiny walls! —Mercedes Sherman. (19)
