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)

 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]

Religion IN this, our Castle of Learning, abides the King of Kings, the first Crusader, the Supreme Master of all Knighthood. Saint Margaret’s Castle is hut one of the many thousand outposts which crown the labors of the early Mission Knights, who left all that was dear, and braved all that was perilous in quest of souls to save. We have chosen this House of Learning because it is one of His. The Ladies of this Castle arc His plighted ones, who, while teaching pages, squires, and maiden knights all other branches, have pledged themselves to aid His Mission Knights in teaching all He taught. Here we daily hear of Him, speak to Him, and visit Him in His humble abode. The formal opening of our Religion year is at the allschool Mass, where Father Reardon never fails to thrill our souls with his inspiring message. Here come weekly, two Master Knights ordained to “go and teach,” as were the Twelve. Here often, come Knights-Errant from far oft lands, to interest us in their holy quest, and ask our help. 120 | Rev. J. M. Reardon
