DAISIES Daifiex are the flowerf I like Became of what they bringf Brightnetc to the verdant meadounr, In the happy dayx of Spring. Daifief are a lovely fight, S waying in the breeze, Nodding gaily to companion flowery, Whitpering to the treef. Daifiex make me live in fancy, In the realm of pure delightj Af I Jee them fairbf dancing! Field flowerf, b0lL'bj', gold and white. I would learn a lemon from them- Daiciey, common bloxfomc of the way, That I in Junfhine or in Jhower, I Jhould keep my heart eternal May. MARY HARRINGTCDN Count and Countess by proxy 921 A DAY IN SPRING I took a walk in earb May Down the long road that windf away, Down where the fhadowf and cunbearnf play. I Jaw Spring in everything, Saw the woodbine in the glade And the muck ro.re in the Jhade. I Jaw vallfgffplled with jiowerf Counted lilief by the hourf In the green-banked myrtle bowerf. Sun if low. No time to roam! Up the hill that leader to home, Far up near the Junfetlr dome. JEAN Gooo FLOWERS I Jaw around a twirling mill A rainbow, ax I thought, But when I climbed the grafcy hill I found what I had fought. It wax a bed of violets, AJ blue df blue can be, So fragrant, for the dew had Jet, And I culled juft two or three. And then I gathered rofef For they were red with bloom I picked come budding pofief And Jcujled back the loam. For now I had my flowery With colorcr bright and rare Kept frexh with heavenly Jhowerf A bouquet, beautiful and fair.

1941 Class Song Farewell to thee, beloved Alma Mater, Farewell to thee, our cherished Gold and Blue, Our grateful hearts for you are sadly griev- 1ng For now the time has come to bid adieu. St. Mary's High, thy loyal sons are leav- ing, But to thy standards we will ever be trueg Thro' all the years our hearts will fondly cherish St. Mary's High, sweet memories of you. Farewell once more, beloved Alma Mater, As now through misty tears we fondly gaze On treasured memories we leave behind us, For we've reached the parting of the ways. So once again, dear classmates, we are re- calling The happy schooldays we spent here with you, Tho' we must break the loving ties which bind us St. Mary's High we'll e'er be true.

LOVELINESS Crimson skies and deep blue waters, Flow'rets gay in festive colors brightj Nature revels in her scarlet gloiyf Man's ennobled by the loveb sight. DANDELIONS A cloth of gold for the Queen of May, The modest flowers offield and way Spread o'er the earth in bright array Dandelion blooms their homage pay. CHRISTINE COLMAN SOMETIMES Sometimes I like to think of me, And the little girl I used to be,' With ambitions high, and dreams sublimef Alas, they all have passed with time! MARY NICIIOLSON LENGTHENING SHADOW S When the long day fades into the night, And all earth's beauty is veiled from my sight, I linger on to hear the murmuring pines, And the music of soft breezes stirring the tangled vines. MARY HARRINOTON MEDITATION Lord, how they pierced Thy hands that night on Calvagfs summit crowned, And how they scorned and laughed and jeered when Thou didst fall upon the ground. They saw Thy Face 'neath a blood-stained crown, and they gazed on Thy Bleeding Hands, But, dear Lord, it caused them not a sigh, those guardsmen in command. If I could take out just one nail, and soothe Thy aching Brow I should gladbf do it all for Thee-in this medi- tation hour,' But I'll live again those sorrouful days in sympathy for Thee, By acts of self-denial, kindliness and love and true humility. PAULINE SULLIVAN 93 ,I Faye Gallimore, 1941 Drum Major CONFIDENCE Were you to have firm faith in me 'T would help me on the road, A strong incentive to noble deeds, To press onward beneath my load. What I need is a friendly smile, A hand-clasp strong and sure, The journey through life is many a mile, And the trials are hard to endure. Wereyou to say, Friend, I believe in you, You can do what others have done, I should make an attemptAa manb try, And continue until I had won.
