Here we are shore-encircled. Our existence is rarely threatened by world-battering events. We are sheltered from maior storms in order that intangible influences of faith and love may germinate and flourish in receptive souls. Our priests and faculty have pledged their efforts to disturb our languor, accelerate our growth, spiritual and mental. They must form the whole woman. They must fuse the circling bonds of education. Too often they are parted from us, never to see the effects of their endeavors. Only WE are able to demonstrate to the world the ever-widening influence of Catholic, Woods-fostered inspiration.

A lone figure stands, pink-tinged in the special hour. Curved sunrays slide over green-black water X l and bend around an ancient tree. The whirr of moth wings is swallowed by the silence. Skirt rustling softly, she bends to snatch a pebble. A flash of black and gold, and then the pebble drops to obscurity. The hand rests inert again on the down of grass. l' V But the startled water must react to this awakening. Liquid murmurs reach into the atmosphere. Rapid circles grow, as if from seed carried by the pebble. Soon the reflection of the arched bridge is altered. The reeds, shore-bound, are nudged into motion. Plants ringing the water are moistened by the ever-widening ripples. Cautiously the shadow of a girl glides over blue-black soil, slips across a tree root and disappears in a shower of amethyst light. She is oblivious. She does not perceive the water powerless to resist the effects of her impulse. IZ' P gi-fy' c
