We, the senior maidens, have attempted a detailed study of our Knight Divine. With the Four Evangelists as guides, assisted by Fourd, Eliot, Maas, and Loyola, we have trailed Him from Bethlehem to Calvary, and thence to Olivet, the Mount of Ascent. We have talked of Him, written of Him, and tried to illustrate some phases of His wondrous mission in our Project Books. As the year advanced, and we grew to know Him better, and love Him greater, like the disciples on the way to Emmaus, “our hearts burned within us with a holy desire to begin our sacred quest. This desire was greatly augmented by the annual retreat, which, this year, was given by Father Cullinan. It was an ideal retreat. Weeks having elapsed since its close, we feel assured that the impressions were not emotional, but lasting; and the fruits, we trust, will be eternal. And now we, the armored Maiden Knights, having won our spurs, received the accolade, and been decorated with the baldric of our Lady Love, ride forth on our white steeds in quest of the Holy Grail, the symbol of all that is Christ the King’s. —EfvicE Dickinsov.

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

Maiden Knights of the Scroll DETERMINED to merit our golden spurs in matters literary wc, the newly enrolled Maiden Knights, entered English Four with a chivalrous spirit of conquest. Clad in our armour, the Tunic of Three Years English, the Helmet of Brother Leo, the Shield of Twelve Centuries, and the Sword of Earnest Effort, wc knelt in vigil before the King of Kings, and His Queen, our Lady Love, to consecrate to them our service, and receive their benediction. Turning from the Ancients, and the Classicists of Squiredom days, wc entered with Gray into the Country Churchyard, and there meditated on the rhythmic harmony, the melodious sublimity, and the solemn grandeur of his Elegy. Permeated with this serious spirit, wc browsed among other elegies, Lycidas, A dona is. In Mc-moriam.
