For what, then, does our purpose hold ? It holds that it may preserve our ideals, that it may harness our wills to the Will of God, and that, while mortal life is ours, it may keep the wind full against the sails of our little barque. To sail beyond the sunset till we die For beyond the setting sun, beyond all earthly realms, lies our heaven. It stretches far; it is the land of still waters. Ideals stand as milestones on the road to its broad meadows. To strive, to seek, to find, and It is to the attainment of these ideals that we strive; to seek them out is our glorious adventure ; to find them is a culmination of a lifetime of trust and implicit hope. All we ask of you, then, our friends whom we love, are your prayers that forever we may remain true to the resolutions we have made not to yield. Catherine Kell- ' . Four JLLIA REIGll.

MARY ' S COLLEGE FAREWELL In bidding farewell to you, our friend, We open a breach that tomorrow will mend. In the years to come, without a doubt, As we leave Saint Mary ' s, we ' ll seek you out. Replying, then, to your farewell Gladly we answer, that we may tell How truly we miss you, a very great deal Miss your presence, your friendship so real; And in missing you, then, a tribute we pay, Silent and sure, yet growing each day. With a loyal spirit that never shall end, We say farewell to you, our friend. Cathrrink Kelly Uujht TO THE FACULTY: True friendships are much too rare to be broken hghtly, and friendships made, as ours with you have been made, in the very house in which our greatest Friend_ resides, can be naught but true, and we do not will to break them lightly — nay, we do not will to break them at all. No material wealth could ever pay for the priceless lessons we have learned from you ; it is impossible to estimate the true worth of the example you have given us. In admiration, then, and with a deep sense of love and respect, we desire to express our gratitude, first, to those of you for whom we have formed slightly deeper affections, to whom we owe a bit more personal gratitude, and after that to all of your numbers — our class teachers, the teachers whom we have known since our first days at Saint Mary ' s, and the teachers who have come in the later years, for from each one of you we have obtained a better knowledge of the great lesson of unselfish devotion which you yourselves have learned so well.

For four years the class of ' 31 has taken an active part in the classes and activ- ities of Saint Mary ' s Academy. We have striven to keep our class at the front. Now we are about to leave our beloved school, but we take with us lasting friendship and memories that will never fade. Helene Perry. Money! Money! Money! It was my place to collect and account for the finances of the Senior Class. Thanks to the co-operation of all concerned, our bank account was high, although of course, on the first of every month the class had to have a gentle reminder that class dues were due — and payable. All in all, financially our last year was very successful. Julia Reich.

As the usual thing, the last will and testament of a graduating class is prefaced with a great deal of legal verbiage. We feel, however, that these unnecessary formalities should be substituted with a simple explanation of our purpose in drawing up this document. At this time, every year, great rejoicing goes on within the walls of this institu- tion of higher learning. This fact is especially true now — due to the obvious superiority of the present class over any which has graduated in the past. But over the joyous laughter of the multitude, a weeping and wailing, and gnashing of teeth are plainly audible to the careful listener. There is a reason for all things, and this truth applies to the sorrow which is blighting our lives, causing us to wake up in the night screaming. The reason is that the Junior Class (which is soon to take our place on the pinnacles of school life) is sadly lacking in the necessary cerebral qualities that go so far in raising the standard of the present class. With our usual propensity for making the best of a bad bargain, we had almost decided to come to the rescue of this band of stranded souls by bequeathing them in this, our last will and testament, the traits of character which we possess and which we feel would, if handed down, enable them to maintain the standard which we have set with our colossal wisdom. However, after three days and three nights of intense meditation — during which time neither food nor water passed our parched lips — (at least, comparatively little) — we have decided that the qualities which we possess are far too precious to be entrusted to so young and inexperienced a group as the Junior Class. We are even prevented from leaving them any of our material effects, due to an urgent request from the Smithsonian Institute that it be willed our books as an example of well preserved texts. (Some uncharitable members of the class below us have been unkind enough to suggest that our books are in such a condition due to their not having been used a great deal — Another proof of their inferiority!) So the Juniors will be compelled to fight their own battles without the vast wisdom of our own class. There is one quality, however, which we feel that the [uniors must have: that is the innate modesty which enables us to look back upon the wonders which we have accomplished during our high school career without falling victims to pride, that most insidious of all evils.

Trumpets blare; the king in his snow-piled mountain home looks down upon the fair garden spread below, and he smiles with pleasure, for he is King Achievement and the garden spread below, in semi-tropical radiancy, is Saint Mary ' s Academy.

Tii-enty-lliree TOURIST GUIDE FOR 1945 Ijnder Management of THOMAS HOOK SON Why go to Europe, when Europe has already come to Cahfornia? Thomas Hook Son offer a marvelous comprehensive tour of Europe in California at re- duced summer rates, beginning at San Diego, June 17, 1945, and concluding at Klamath balls, September 2, at the end of the summer season. Following is a brief description of the main places of interest to be visited in the regular course of the tour: FRENCH VILLA, in the picturesque southeast portion of Los Angeles, at Fifth and San Pedro streets. This quaint little inn is a veritable section of Europe trans- planted in California, having as its culinary specialty sauted frog legs and luscious oiled snails. LInder the capable management of the Mademoiselles Laffitte Trem- blay. Jeanette, Bushard, ?nd Morin, this charming villa has become the showplace of all southern California. Here the Thomas Hook Son entourage will stop and spend three days — and unmentionable sums of money. SPANISH KITCHEN, in the heart of health giving Death Valley. A stop of ?t least a week will we allowed here, in order that our patrons may enjoy the unique climate and surroundings of the place. The undulating dunes of flaxen sand picturesquely flecked with an occasional human skull, or perhaps a fibula, lend vivid color to the spot. The Spanish Kitchen itself, in charge of the Senorita Ipiiia, assisted by Senoritas Mercedes and Arena, is truly a copy of the old Spanish restaurantes. Ihere we shall purchase (Oh, yes, we shall!) the same quaint dishes that we should hnd 1 ■ sirinv M dr. ' -,- toned Castle— ham sandwiches and strawberry soda. CAP AND BELLS COLLEGE, situated in the green hills north of Fresno. Ihis Irish institution was founded for the purpose of educating Englishmen as to the proper manner of rpcewinq; and appreciating humorous stories and jokes. After receiv- ing the eight years ' course, any Englishman is entitled to a diploma, which certifies that he or she is fully cap- ' ble of perceiving the point of any normal joke in not more than hve minutes. (It has been found that Englishmen get three laughs at a joke, i he first when it is told to them, the second when it is explained to them and the third when they get the point . . . Frenchmen get only two laughs from a joke. They never get the point . . . Germans get but one laugh because you can ' t explain it to them . . . Americans never laugh at a joke because they have already heard it.— Mc- Uymond ' s Record). The dean of the college at present is Pat O ' Connor, and the board of directors and faculty is as follows: B. Connolly, K. McLaughlin, G. Donohue, L. Duffy, and O ' Doud. THE POST-GRAVES AMUSEMENT PARK, located in the playground of Europe— Market Street, San Francisco. Two Englishmen started this novel amuse- ment place, and incorporated into it a post-graduate course for any of the students from Cap and Bells College who had a high standing and possessed a permit from the dean. THE SCOTTISH FOUNDATION FOR CHARITY, one of the most remarkable organizations in the entire world. This unique and novel institution was founded in the year 1941, by a group of Scottish women revolters, led by the Misses McMaster and McPhee. (Contributions to the fund by travelers should be given to Ihomas Hook Son, who will be only too glad to relieve their patrons of any sum of cash over $50.00). Tzvcnty-foiir ' THE PRETZEL-BENDERS UNION, a characteristic European society of laborers who have banded together to preserve for posterity the unadulterated, pure form of pretzel, which has of late been deteriorating into a common shape, somewhat angular in appearance. This particular union is a branch of the International Pretzel- Wrestlers of the World, and was first organized in California by the fraus Lieb, Von Steger, Glotzbach, Dreyfuss, and Wehmeier. For the convenience of our patrons, we have been fortunate in engagmg the fol- lowing tradesmen and artisans, who will accompany the train and give their services absolutely free (tips accepted). M. Dunkle, electrician: Will repair flashlights and eliminate currents from San Francisco Bay. M. Gearin, palmist: Will predict financial catastrophes to guests who patron- ize Thomas Hook Son. T. Hessel, purser: Guests will turn over all money and purses to the purser and be relieved permanently of them. T. Petersen, engineer: Will keep machinery and Ingersoll watches well oiled. B. Rundio, Pullman car namer: Will supply pleasant and intellectual names for all cars on the train. A. Furrer, dietician: Will supervise serving of guests to see that sufficient starches and no spinach are provided. H. Poxon, R. Leake, H. Sill, chain gang: Will repair all roads and breakdowns. J. Reigh, professional acrobat: Will juggle glasses of water at dinner to amuse guests. M. Harding, porter: Will attend to all luggage and mifplaced toothpaste caps. Following we print the names of a few of the distinguished travelers who have already signed up on the advance tourist enrollment: E. Eccleston, pianist: Played last season before the round heads of Europe. H. Perry, artist: Painted the great-grandchild of a friend of a relative of a former secrctaiT to Rudy Vallee. J.

EncLind.] Against the roof of hewed logs came the intermittent swish of moisture laden pine boughs. Around the unprotected corners of the lodge nestled high in the Sierra Nevadas, rushed the wind, a roaring demon. It dashed the great sheets of water again.st the rough sides of the low, sprawling building. The rather forlorn drops of rain that retained enough vitality to roll down the window panes, saw within the cabin a sight which struck terror to the innermost depths of their watery beings. At one end of the long room, the cheery blaze from the hearth cast its rosy glow and filled the hall with warmth. But what are a room, a fire, and comfortable lounges without witnesses to the fact that there are a room, a fire, and comfortable lounges? Such might be compared to a pipe without tobacco, or a wine glass without wine. But in this room there were witnesses — several most characteristic witnesses. If you doubt that thev were characteristic, answer this question : What species of animal loves best a glass ready to his hand, a pipe between his lips, a roomy chair to hold his most ungracefully sprawling figure, and a fire to caress his extended legs? Do you doubt that they were characteristic? Turning away from the window, a tall, blond, blue-eyed son of the Vikings addressed the assembly in general. What a day! Reminds me of my homeland — Nature frowned on Norway, vou know. A highly colored individual replied : So I have heard, and it certainly is frown- ing on us now. He half-disgustedly turned to the fire. Eh, bien, but it is dreary. With a shrug of his thin shoulders, M. Gaston Cerveaux eyed the fair Scandinavian. The latter answered the challenge: But did my hardy forefathers allow drizzle and appalling mists of a late fall day to prey upon their spirits? They triumphed over nature and wrought a nation of peace and unit). He paused, dreamily lifted the poker, and began to stir the tire. Then he con- tinued, more to himself than to the others: ' In all the wide world ' round, are no waves so gladsome as those of Oresound ' . That surely expresses the true theme of the Scandinavian countries. Though the weather alone tends to make the Swedish people melancholy, are not we all occasion- ally inclined to such characteristics? A stranger once asked a Norwegian boy, who was plodding along the road, what the people did when it rained, and the answer was, ' We sing. ' Yes, we sing when it rains, and when we work, we sing too. W e may be pessimists, but we can still sing. Again he paused — this time to fill his pipe, and with the smoke curling lazily upward, he resumed his reveries: Scandinavia dwells in an all-picturesque setting, but life there is not all scenery and unforgettable sights. With a dash, winter is upon us, bringing its downy blanket of snow. This challenge is met by the distinguishing characteristic of Swedish youth. Skis and bob-sleighs are brought forth for the annual inspection. It ' s quite .surprising the age at which the children enter into these sports. Once every four years Finland, Norway, and Sweden unite at Stockholm to contend in the great Northern Games. Ski-jumping and ice-skating arouse as much enthusiasm and rivalry as your major football games. And do your sports cease with the melting of the snows? asked a much inter- ested gentleman. Tit ' enl ' -scirn GREECE THE. DISCUS THROWER BY MVRON, AND THE RUINS OF THE THEATER AT ATHENS BELOW A MODERN AMERICAN ATHLETE, AND THE ENTRANCE TO THE COLISEUM AT LOS ANGELES WHERE THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN 1932 WILL TAKE PLACE. Tzvciity-eight Hardly, laughed the narrator, fully awake to the interest of his listeners. Summer brings bicycle-riding, boating, and regattas. No, our national sport is not skiing, but association ball, a game something on the order of, and bearing some resemblance to, football. Then, too, I almost forgot to mention another attrac- tion which brings thousands to our summer resorts — horse racing. Humph, roared the professor, nothing but sports, such a place in which to take up one ' s abode. Now, I The shadows in the corner shifted, and from their depths suddenly emerged the youngest member of our genial company. Last winter in the mountains of Cali- fornia my frat ' made whoopee. We had the best time in our lives — skiing, taboggon- ing, ice skating, everything! It was great! Such being the case, I think I shall spend next winter enjoying the sports of my homeland, without leaving this country, came from the fair face wreathed in a cloud of smoke. ' ou mean you will most certainly be cured of your nostalgia. Monsieur spread his hands most eloquently, but received no reply. In the silence that followed, a man ' s ruddy face was silhouetted against the fire- light as its owner leaned forward and stirred the embers with a dry stick. Will Norway be represented in the Olympic Games in California next year? came from somewhere in the room. The reply issued from an unexpected quarter: Eh! Eh! Did someone wish to be informed concerning the great games of our Hellenic ancestors? The four great festivals of the Olympic He was fairly started, and there was no stopping the flow of rhetoric. He had removed his spectacles, passed his long fingers once, twice, through his somewhat tangled hair, and precariously balanced his great book upon his knee. Pythian, Isthmian, and Nemean games were of greater efficacy than the Amphictyonic Council in promoting a spirit of union among the various branches of the Greek race. Compressed action surged beneath the cloud of passive submission that lay over the room. The professor continued : The famous festival was first celebrated at Olympia, on the banks of the Alpheus, in the territory of Elis, and near the ancient temple of the Olympian Zeus. These games were held every four years, and the interval which elapsed between each cele- bration was called an Olympiad. The whole festival was under the management of the Eleans, and was frequented by spectators from all parts of the Grecian world. There was too much repressed energy in the room ; something was about to burst. Glorious youth, represented by Bill, rose to the surface, with: Frankie Wyckof is in line for marathon laurels in 1932. It was a brave attempt, but that was all. The learned man with the mussed up hair was strides ahead of the fastest runners of ancient Greece or of modern Cali- fornia; nothing but a catastrophe would stop him now. During the games all hostilities were suspended throughout Greece Then the catastrophe occurred. The ponderous volume, balanced precariously on the professor ' s knee, slid, and with a crash toppled to the floor. He leaned over to retrieve the huge bulk ; as he did so his spectacles slipped from his nose, and he dropped his pencil. Very effectively then, and in less time than it takes to write it out, the professor was silenced. Breaking the subsequent stillness came: Speaking of athletes — well, Ireland might boast a bit of her own crop. Yes, came the quick retort, but, old friend, the Irish, as a rule, are rather clannish, aren ' t they? That is, they devote tiieir talents to themselves alone. Mr. May was not to be pacified: Tu ' ciity-iiiiie Listen, man, do you realize what you are saying? The Irish have contributed to every art or trade that ever existed, migrating to every part of the earth and aiding in the development of the sections in which they reside. Just name the business in which the Irish are not represented, and well represented, too. Name the country or state that is not settled by respected Irish citizens. As to devoting their talents to themselves alone, take John Steven McGroarty. Has he written of Ireland? No, he has written one of the most complete and authentic histories of California ever known. Many of the early settlers in California were Irishmen who came directly from Ireland. John J. Read, Esquire, was one of the first men to settle permanently in California, the first man to erect a mill in Los Angeles. It seems to me that he was the original surveyor of the San Francisco Bay, someone intervened. Yes, that was the very man. The Irish are represented in every walk of life. After hesitating for a moment to light his pipe, Mr. May quieted a bit and continued with the story which seemed so familiar to him : In the field of journalism and literature, there are numerous Irish workers. For instance, O ' Meara, known for his sketches in the Argonaut and the Examiner ; George Jessup, poet and literateur, who contributed to the Overland Monthly ; Daniel O ' Connel, McClatchy, and O ' Sullivan. Again an interruption: Father York, a recent editor of the San Francisco ' Leader, ' was one whose cleverness I greatly admired, came from the sunken depths of a comfortable lounge. By the way, I see where some new histories of Ireland have been edited. A Seumas May is the editor, I believe. Any relation to you, May? one laughingly replied. Odd name that — Seumas — real Celtic, isn ' t it? Yes, it is, replied May. Has it any English equivalent? Everyone looked at May — the expert linguist. Um-m-m — , well — er — it ' s James. Jim, you old rascal. A real note of affection crept into the voice with the dis- tinct Oxford accent. By Jove, you are a surprise, old man. Seumas May appreciated the warm praise his companions expressed, but the hand- clasp of the man next him touched that friendly chord that is so characteristic of an Irishman ' s heart. Congratulations, old man. Again Oxford spoke. And thanks far the account of eminent Californians. Once more the shadows of the room became alive. Bill had retrieved the pro- fessor ' s pencil and was busily engaged in trying its efficiency. His attention was di- verted for the instant, however, as his eye caught sig;ht of a dog-eared volume which the professor had just cast aside with elegant disdain. Bill reached for the volume and ensconced himself where the light of the fire fell full upon his opened book. Outside, the rain beat upon the already drenched earth with renewed vigor; a limb was wrenched from a tree, and as it fell to the ground it brushed against he window. Several glances turned in the direction of the offending noise. As the gaze wandered back, a quiet man with a preoccupied air caught sight of the book on Bill ' s knee. Pointing to a picture, he leaned forward and exclaimed, An expert photog- rapher took those pictures. Why, this villa is very similar to the one at which I spent a few days on my last trip to Italy. You are well acquainted with Italy ' s charms, are you not? ' I love Italy, and I would return soon, but what can one do when one ' s daugh- ters insist on Paris?

Thirty-two far more interesting to get the former Italian diplomat talking on Italy than on the extravagance of his daughters sj the following request was made: Tell us about your last trip to sunny Italy. Bill had relinquished the book and resumed his task with the pencil ; the eloquent speaker obtained the volume and proceeded to illustrate his travels: Naturally we drifted into one of Italy ' s most beautiful ports — Naples. I had been anticipating the sheer delight of my friends at first fight of this jewel His index finger pointed to a snapshot : . This portrays a little of Naples ' beauty. We entered the city when it was ablaze with lights, gleaming as if they were the rarest of gems. All was calm, for a peninsula stretching out into the sea protects the bay from storms and rough seas. I have heard that the homes in Nrples are vrrv brautiful ; is thi true? Itnly ' s lover turned two pages before he replied: Very beautiful, indeed. With a start of recognition, he leaned forward: Whoever took these pictures certainly knew his Italy; I know mine, too. This resi- dence here, he indicated, is the one, the very one that we rented for a few days during our stay. Oh! Italy, my beautiful dreamland, some day I ' m coming back, he relaxed. Reminiscently he turned the pages till he came to one ! The shock of the printed words very nearlv brought an exclamation from his lips ; he looked about distractedly, rose as inconspicuously as possible, crossed to the bookcase, and carefully placed the book in the farthest corner of the highest shelf. Then he returned to his chair with a peaceful mind, for the page had read : These scenes were taken at San Diego, California, on the twenty-first day of June, — . They are most remarkable for their resemblance to Italian scenes of similar beauty ! But for really pt ' cturesque beaut ' give me a fiesta. He held a half finished cigar between his fingers, and as he talked he surveyed the tip of it. Talk about fiestas! Bill exclaimed with all the vigor of modern youth. Last year I had the greatest luck ever — took part in a fiesta on a lovely, rugged hill overlooking a white foamed sea. The grounds were in bloom everywhere ; tall palm trees swaved in the gentle breeze and the fiesta colors lent vivacity to the scenery. Musi- cians in Spanish costumes pla ed dreamy, romantic melodies, and couples danced the Spanish gota on the red-tiled floors. How could anyone dance on red-tiled floors? abruptly broke in the professor, who had been listening to the tale rather sceptically. Oh ! they were be vilv waxed. cnme the reassuring reply, and they certainly made excellent dance floors, because I tried them. It was wonderful there at night — and Was the nig ' t the only time thnt appealed to you? again broke in the professor, sarcastically. The days were just as wond- rful every day contained some special event. On one dry there was a sk ' Hed disol v of horsemanship; vpqueros on their graceful Palomino and Arabian steeds performed during feats on horseback and rode many times around the grounds. The fie. ta lasted an entire week. What a wonderful week t ' at was! Well, this is a surprise! When were you in Spain? In Spain? I ' ve never be n in Spain. I was speaking of the Spanish fiesta held every year at Santa Barbara. It ' s plain to see you ' re a native son. Bill, came an admiring voice. I surely am strong for California — and no doubt about that, agreed Bill, now somewhat abashed at finding himself the center of attraction. You ' ve travelled quite a bit yourself, haven ' t you? he remarked to his neighbor on the right. 77ii 3 ' - irt ' , ' v NORWAY THE SN0 VY mountains OF EUROPE ARE NOT THE ONLY PLACES WIIERE SKHNG OFFERS VIGOR AND ENJOYMENT; ABOVE, ONE MAY CONTRAST THE NORWEGIAN SKIER AND AN ENTHUSIAST IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Thirty-four Yes, I ' ve been a good deal of a globetrotter in my day. But I ' ve spent most of the last few years in Portugal. Portugal couldn ' t compare with Spain. Good-humoredly, the speaker smiled, No, I don ' t know that it surpasses it . But Portugal is very rare in its beauty, you know. Monsieur retired to the depths of his chair; America ' s youth was busy with a pencil ; America ' s old-age had replaced its spectacles and was further delving into the realms of scientific research. He who knew of Portugal continued : In all my travels, I ' ve never been reminded of Portugal so much as in California. Portugal, like California, is a land of exquisite charm — a flower garden. Looking over the land, one would think that the Creator formed the hills by dropping the earth through a funnel, and stopping every few rods to deposit some extra grains of dirt on one mound. The result is just an unbroken view of splendid, rolling, graceful hills and plains. As far as the vision of man reaches, there are orchards of golden oranges, green vineyards, and extensive grain fields guarded by the stately and majestic mountain ranges. About Portugal, the sea lends contrast. . . . The ever beautiful sea, the Englishman murmured, as he crossed his extended legs. The surging Atlantic rushes upon the steep, menacing cliffs which constitute the coast, and forms grotesque figures, fearful yet wonderful. . . . Germany, too, is rugged in its outline. The professor was speaking again, and contrary to the opinions formerly held by the company, he was speaking in an interesting manner. Anyhow, they could throw something at him, if he became very boring, so he was allowed to continue in peace : A Bavarian patchwork exists in California, equalled by few other places outside of Germany. Through woods and hills and sunset-tinged creeks the similarities between the two widely separated countrysides are apparent to the most casual observer. I refer specifically to the likenesses in scenerv. The most striking point is the presence of lakes. Clear Lake, the Blue Lakes, Crystal Lake, in the northern counties of Eureka, Lake, and Sonoma — all find their parallel in the small sees of Bavaria, even in the ver ' texture and weave of the water. For the sources of these California lakes are high and cold, just as the sources of those that find their nourishment in the folds and crannies of the Alps; and the similarity gives them the same sort of movement — the same rhythmical lapping. But perhaps you rather doubt that this little point should preclude all doubt and skepticism concerning the first statement that I made. There was no stir in the room ; all was silent as the man continued : I suppose you are aware of the fact that Bavaria is almost directly opposite California, in relative positions of latitude. Need I mention that this similarity of position on the lap of the world entitles California to practically the same botanical and biological aspects as it does Germany? To go more into detail on this subject — who has not heard of the German pines and evergreens? And has California ever lacked her quota of these same growths? Again, has anyone failed to see reproduc- tions of the oaks and mosses of Germany, which have exact replicas in California? And do you imagine that both countrysides do not boast of their deer, snails, holh- hocks, and red ants? There was no one to answer the professor ' s questions. But the glorious mountains, with their varicolored shawls, are the most out- standing point in the comparison. Germany, with her Alps, thrills us to a religious fervor; California, with her Shasta and the coast range, strikes us just as deeply. We stand as solid nonentities, if we may imagine there are such things, in the presence of these soul-searching crags of earth. To many places one must go in the spring-time, or even in the summer, to see the country at its best, but this is not true of France. Thirty- five FRANCE THE FRENCH RIVIERA BELOW, AND A BIT OF CLUSTERING SEASIDE VILLAGE FROM CALIFORNIA, ARE SUFFICIENT TO SHOW THE MANY SIMILARITIES WHICH EXIST BETWEEN THEM Til irty-six If the magic of his words had not been so potent, monsieur would have had no h ' steners: From the Atlantic to the golden shore of the Mediterranean each province is lovely in its own definite way — whether it be the vineyards, the trees, the f ruits, the flowers, or the rivers. France has the greatest variety of climate California has just as diverse a climate as any country or place in the world, exclaimed Bill, characteristically. And especially the ' unusual weather ' ! someone interjected, amid laughter. The first speaker paused a moment, glancing at his audience, and continued : While the northerners are trudging their way through snow and mud, the people of southern France, and especially in the district known as the Riviera, are enjoying daily sunshine. The French Riviera is one of the most popular winter resorts in the world — the glorious sunlight and wonderful sunsets are irresistible. There is always the breeze from the sea which sweeps over the sun-kissed land. Beautv is truly there in abundance. But you can ' t possibly mention beauty without bringing in California ' s own sunsets and sweeping skies, and natural wonders. It was Bill again. Reminiscently, the Frenchman gazed into the fire, clasping and unclasping his long fingers. In the background, America ' s youth was diligently occupied with some self-enjoined task; he did not deign to recognize the reveries of his elder, for he hummed a snatch of a gay song. This variety of casual talk had brought to each man ' s mind, not so much the thought of France, but more possibly of his own native land. At length the Englishman aroused himself from reverie: You have very nicely compared your France, and your Portugal, and your Germany, your Italy, Spain, and Greece to California in various ways. Allow me to tell you of still another country that is similar to California — and in a more intangible, but potent, way. There was peace. Over the land the great golden sun spread in lazy, rolling waves. The ruggedness of the mountains rose, met the sky, and, out of reverence for the home of their Creator, bowed their noble heads back to the earth. Then ENGLAND THE SPIRIT OF AD ENrURE AND ACHIEVEMENl BROUGHT DRAlvE lo THE CALIFORNIA SHORES Thirty-seven God, for their humility, crowned them with the white of purity, and the heads rose again. The sun kissed them ; they bhished ; a pine tree rustled on their heights. Down by the sea the sun shone, too. Softly, in a little bay, the wavelets rolled against the base of the mighty mountain. As hounds curl about the feet of their master, massive rocks bowed beneath the mountain ' s majesty. The waters peacefully lapped their jagged sides. Along the coast the sands stretched endlessly. Beneath the paleness of the new moon, they were mysterious. The thin crescent that rode the jewelled saddle of the heavens caressed the curving line of foam as it bubbled about the bronzed feet of him who stood, the repre?entative of a nation ' s stolidity. He advanced into the water; the dull gleam of his red-brown skin was in harmony with the pallid light from the moon ; his black hair shrouded his features in gracious darkness, but he looked, for an instant, toward the heavens and in his look was seen the seal of his doom and the doom of his race. He told the Great Spirit that he had seen strange ships, but he could not see that the Great Spirit smiled, nor did he know that strange ships off the coast of California were part of the Great Spirit ' s plan from all eternity. And then he came — Francis Drake — sailor of fortune — gay in the colors of his queen. From the moment when Drake himself saw from the mountains the blue waters of the Pacific, California changed. Over the placidity of the Indian ' s land came an unrest born of the personality of the gentleman pirate. As Francis Drake stood ' silent upon a peak in Darien ' , the rays from his gleaming cuirass shot every shadowed nook in California; the power of his gauntleted hand, as it rose to shield his eagle-like gaze, seemed to release the elements. The minions at the foot of the mountains were shrouded in the foaming sea as its waves swelled and dashed them- selves against the sides of the rock fortress. Sir Francis Drake, the representative of a nation just blooming in the full glow of unbounded vitality, pointed his sword toward the heavens and, as the sun glinted on the tempered steel, he gave the land a heritage which it still retains — the heritage of the spirit of adventure, the spirit that is essentially English (argue how you may), and the spirit that was then, and is now. Sir Francis Drake — sailor of fortune — gay in the colors of his queen. if Without — there was storm. Within — there was warmth ; there were embers in the fireplace, and there were ashes on the floor. A rude map hung on the wall and on it America ' s youth had proved the efficiency of the professor ' s pencil — there were books by the professor ' s chair. ROAD SONG Lonely is the highroad, underneath the aspens. Lonely is the valley road, and dusty in the breeze; But brethren wander all ways, sun and rain together — Hearken to the squirrels a-barking in the trees! Flagrantly the road winds, careless of our yearnings, Careless if it never leads us home again ; Vagrantly we follow it, follow all its turnings. Brothers to the sunshine, sisters to the rain!

Well, when the dreadful hour drew nigh, And all the girls were seated, For some unknown reason, Mercedes became overheated ! To the floor she fell with a dreadful bump. And everyone turned to hear such a thump. Are you hurt? we all cried. She has fainted, teacher sighed, So we ' ll have no test today. We ' ll postpone it until May. The girls, in sincere gratitude.

The victim of this joke to be. But vet. in spite of wind and rain And slippy fish, this face of pain Soon beamed with laughter, loud and long. While we all cried. What ' s wrong, what ' s wrong?

Forl -nine EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERS MARY O ' CONNOR Prrndent ANNABEL BEGLEY Treamrtr LAVERNE RUTHERFORD Fifty When I first came to Saint Mary ' s Academy as a fifth grader, I had a feeling of awe and wonder. As time went on. this feeling grew into one of respect and pride. Now that I am finishing the grammar grades. 1 should like to leave this message with the lower classes: Make the best of your opportunities, co-operate with the Student Body and Faculty, and live by the motto of your school. ' God is our light. If you follow this. Saint Mar ' s will have reason to be as proud of you in the future as vou are of her now. M.arv O ' Connor. As I look back on the five years of my school life in Saint Mary ' s, I think of the four years during which I longed to be in the Student Body. The year 1931 was the first in which the seventh and eighth grades took an active part in the student body organization. I feel that we owe much to the kindness and thought- fulness of the student body officers and of the faculty ; we also owe to our class teacher a debt unpayable, for she has been very patient in bringing us up to a one- hundred percent standard. I trust that we have partially repaid our school by our respect and co-operation. Annabel Beglev. In the past year we have had the opportunity of co-operating with the high school student body in all its undertakings. Our Junior Athletic Assjciation has been one of the most active organizations in the school. And now we are looking for vard to the time when we shall enter the high school department and show our upper classmen of what material we are made. LaV ' erne Rutherford. AMONG OUR WILD FLOWERS One morning in April, who should walk in but Miss Townsend with her face full of smiles and her handbag full of flowers. She asked the class if they were inter- ested in wild flowers. Of course every one said, Yes! Then she proceeded to tell us of a trip which she made to see vast acres of flowers. We were so interested that every one wanted to gather wild flowers and make a book of wild flowers. The de- cision was made, and every day fome one brought in specimens. They were pressed and mounted on paper. Old X-ray films were washed and fastened to the paper on which the flowers were mounted, by passepartout, to preserve them. We then arranged to have each girl responsible for the information about one wild flower. This was to include the common names, the botanical names, a descrip- tion of the flower, and any interesting facts about it. We then made from this a book of wild flowers for future classes. Thus ends my story of our wild flower book. Lillian Forrester. ' 36. Fifty-one THE USE WE MAKE OF OTHER SCHOOL SUBJECTS IN OUR GEOGRAPHY PROJECTS One lovely summer morning, a group of my schoolmates and I were having a delightful picnic. We were just finishing our delicious lunch when Margaret Mary said: Dear me, I ' m certainly glad our Geography Project Books are finished. Aren ' t you, girls? In a way, but it surely was interesting. It brought in nearly every subject we take, answered Barbara. What? It brought in our other subjects? How come? questioned Virginia. Let ' s have turns, and see if we can ' t think of a different subject brought in our Geography Project, suggested Marjorie. You begin, Barbara, and each girl take her turn as it comes. Very well. In the first place, one of the most important subjects brought in was history, began Barbara. For instance, we studied historical places of the country we went to, the famous men and women that have done wonderful things such as scientists, inventors, poets, writers, composers and musicians. We also learned the religion of the country — you know, like one of the girls of the Norway group told us. Do you remember, she said that in the olden days the Vikings believed and worshipped all kinds of gods and goddesses, like the god of Thunder which they called Thor? And the girls that went to Italy learned more about the Catholic religion, in Rome and in the Vatican City. So you see history was an important subject in our Geo- graphy Project. It ' s my turn now. Let me see. Oh, I know, said Virginia, her eyes sparkling. It also brought in Arithmetic. Since we were taking a trip, even though it was in books, we had to study the Metric System, because they don ' t use the same system we use here for measuring different things, you know. So we studied the Metric System so that some day if we really have the opportunity to tour the countries in Europe, we will know their system and we won ' t get cheated if we buy anything. And we learned also about proportion. It ' s funny how we came to learn about that. We found out that one of the sports of Norway is skiing and that they jump a very high distance, about two hundred feet, so we wanted to find out by estimate, how high the distances were. Before w could find out we had to study proportion. Another interesting subject was the study of the Geography of a country, I be- gan. In packing our trunk, we had to know something about the climate of the differ- ent countries, or otherwise we wouldn ' t have known what sort of clothes to take. Beauti- ful rivers, lakes, and bays, natural beauty spots, manufacturing of the country, indus- tries, customs of the people, and the soil, surface and products, all come under the heading of Geography. I feel now as if I know the Geography of the country pretty well, I continued. Grammar also takes an important part in our Geography Project, said Marjorie with a smile. In order to write the book of our trip we had to practice our English. I think we learned something about art, said Margaret ' Mary, beginning to eat her third apple. Our Geography Project Book had to have a cover. Many of the girls learned how to work on parchment and other kinds of paper suitable for covers. Many painted their own pictures outside the covers. Margaret Mary stopped for another bite of her apple. All the, covers had some art in them, she continued. That certainly was fun, wasn ' t it, girls? said Barbara with an anxious look on her face. I ' ll admit it was, laughed Margaret Mary, but I think it is about time to go home. Yes, I believe it is, I answered. Giris, I call this the end of a perfect day. So do we, they responded in a chorus. Amelit. ' Lacayo. Fifty-ttun A V Seventh Grade: Starting with the top row, and reading from left to right— H .Stocliman. J. Wearing. J. Williams, V. Zech. M.

Doane, Bcgley, Fifty-three ON PERFECTION I ' m thinking about a quiet home — with pine panelling and ladder-backed chairs; chintz curtains and hooked rugs ; with copper-kettles before the fire, and andirons of beaten brass, and old, dull pewter and blue Dutch chinaware. Every home should have a piano, so that if the family houses an alto, she can sing Go Down, Moses — Go down, Moses, and set your people free! And set your people free And dogs — a home should have — well, not so many dogs. One good dog is enough of a pal for any man. The man, now, requires a police dog — or does he? A man that smokes a pipe could have a hound or a setter. A young man named Flint could use a police-dog, and any man can use an airedale. But then — a man named Flint would track mud on the hooked rugs and scatter ashes on the hearth and spread his Sunday paper over the wing chairs and — Stop it! This thing is getting out of control. A man named Winton would live in that atmosphere, and he would be gray over the temples and be a lawyer or a doctor or a professor, with a — with a dog — hooked rugs? It has to be a pointer. Named Diana. His wife ' s name is Anne, and she is charming. She has a daughter — no they aren ' t that old. A sister, then. A sister called Shirley, who is a splendid horsewoman. Someone, you see, has to stand near the brass andirons and tap her boots with a riding crop. The picture wouldn ' t be complete without it. Shirley can be the alto who sings Go Down, Moses ' — but — no again. A house like that wouldn ' t have anyone sing Go Down, Moses. Anne plays, and charming pieces, but not negro spirituals. Never! .... The piano is not a grand — not even a baby grand. It is one of those upright inlaid antique pines that cost about twice as much. Anne ' s dog — well, she won ' t have a dog. She ' ll have a cat. But is Anne the sort of woman that likes cats? She is not. She ' ll take an interest in Winton ' s dog. Diana is really a family pet. Winton doesn ' t hunt much. But there ' ll be a cat. Persephone. A smoky-black cat with yellow eyes. Anne ' ll feed her cream in a yellow bowl in front of the fire at tea. Dinner has candles and silver and lace and cut glass — and fresh flowers. There ' ll be a child who takes an interest in flowers. That must be Winton, Jr. He ' s six years old and wears white suits — which, of course, he gets muddy; but that doesn ' t matter because he comes in the back door anyway to get bread and jam, and butter. The bread is baked in low Dutch ovens and the jam is preserved in wide-mouthed stone jars, and the butter is hand-churned by a dairy a little out in the country. The kitchen is always wide and cool. Winton Jr. ' s dog is an Aberdeen or a Scotch terrier. His name is Sandy McGraw. He gets as muddy as Winton, Winton, when he grows up, will be a lawyer like his father. At present, he likes the sea — likes to play with sailboats and talk to sailors, and usually comes in from play as tarry as an old schooner captain. The family has had sea captains in its ancestry ; it has its own little sloop and they all are fairly good at managing it. But Winton, when he grows up, will be a lawyer like his father. Do I like them? Mercy! No! They conform too well. If Winton Senior should ever indulge an uncontrollable desire to bring home a Florentine painting instead of a pen etching, I ' d have to rewrite the whole thing! Mary Harding. Fijty-jour OR nniznaon -C . ... Sx ROSEMARIE ARENA ( of Students ' Spiritual Council Do you remember the spirit of co-operation and interest that prevailed at the first S.S.C. Mass this year? That spirit, which has not ebbed during the year, was the factor that enabled us to go anxiously every Friday afternoon to teach the little pagan children about the Christ Child. We were more than rewarded for the few sacrifices we experienced, by the large Confirmation Class and the many children that made their first Holy Communion. Charity begins at home, but it should not end there. We do not let it end ever. The spirit which I have already referred to has reached China. The rivalry which existed between the classes over obtaining money for the ransom of pagan babies resulted in our saving many little souls for Christ. In our work, inside and outside school, my dear co-workers, you have always shown an admirable spirit of co-operation. May I congratulate you most sincerely, and then say — goodbye.

On December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate C:jncfption, all th? members of our Sodalitv, clothed in the heaven-blue mantles of Our Blessed Lad , assisted at the ceremony of the reception of fifteen new members. The services beTan in the chapel, where the girls were received. A procession was then formed and all the members, r--- citing the Rosary, wended their way through the yard to Our Lady ' s Grotto. After the coronation of the Blessed Virgin, they returned tg the chapel, where Benediction was given. Over the chapel reigned a peace and calm so beiutiful that it was felt by all. Here the Seniors received the inspiration for their parting wish to you, whom we are leaving Farewell, and may a heavenly peace and calm envelop you forever.

Down halt-hid paths O ' erhung with mossy lace Our hands in His We went, and as we went Intently listened As His dear lips spoke Sweet secrets. In limpid pools whose surface Was caressed by Bending leaves We looked ; our eves Met His; And then in stillness Deep and holy, O ' er our heads In Benediction raised. The Sacred Host Shot forth a ray Of Love Divine ; And at His feet. In adoration kneeling, With bowed head And trembling lips We thanked Him. To Father Roamer, our Retreat-Master, the Student Body of Saint Mary ' s Academy expresses sincere thanks. This is the third time, now, that we have been fortunate enough to procure Father Roamer ' s spiritual advice, and like our predeces- .sors (of 1920 and 1928) our appreciation for him cannot be explicitly defined; it is too deeplv and personallv spiritual.

Christ appeared to this holy nun and gave her the twelve promises, the last of which is the most important: I promise thee in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all- powerful Love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday m nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their Sacraments; My Divine Heart shall b; their safe refuge in this last moment. The League has been an outstanding organization for twenty-one years. This year the promoters at Saint Mary ' s Academy have done all in their power to further the devotion to the Sacred Heart. In the Tidings Sacred Heart League Contest, which is open to all schools, Saint Mary ' s Promoters captured the first prize offered, and several honorable mentions. We are proud to say that many of our graduates are still carrying on the work of the League by establishing centers in various churches in the city. Cyrilla DeGroff.

SUSPENSE Out of the darkness rending the air Came cries of horror from maidens so fair, Chilling one ' s soul in the black of night. Summing this all— ' twas a terrible fright! It seemed like da s, or months, or years. I kept no count or took no note. I had one hope and only one As thoughts of horror dried my throat. At last two kind girls set me free. I asked not why or knew not when, I only knew they admitted me. And i was in the Glee Club then. Thelma Petersen. Sixty-five KATHRYN HROMATKA President o Orchestra ANN ELIZABETH SCOTT Saint Mary ' s orchestra started another succcs:ful year, beginning last September. Various instruments were entered, and we started with our daily practice under the able guidance of Sister Joseph Marie. At Christmas time we treated ourselves to a party. We had a small tree, and gifts were exchanged between the girls. This bit of entertainment proved quite successful. The orchestra has always been a great benefit to Saint Mary ' s Academy; this year we have done our utmost to make it better than ever. The girls were willing workers and it was through their co-operation that we were able to maintain the standards of former years. Kathryn Hromatka, ' 32. Si.rty-six ' ORCHES 1 RA MUSICAL THOUGHT Why fret my time thro ' troubled hours In vainly seeking silly sums? My heart flies out with rhythmic throb To search for music as it comes. I find my solace in sweet strings, Not dull, insipid lines and squares. I ' d rather sip a melody That makes me gay and free from c.-.res. There ' s no romance in figures yet; There ' s only set precision there. And while I care for stable things, I love the things that float in air. So I ' ll not plant my feet in dirt And be a steady, solid soul ; Begone, my censors! I ' ll pursue A phantasy unto its goal. Ha el Sill WHAT MUSIC IS TO ME Music is to me what language is to thought, a kind of subtle expression. It ranges over the wordless regions of my actions and shows me images of beauty and of power. At the time when my heart is sad, music is the outlet for my pent emotions. When my heart is happy,, music soars in me like a bird of joy, senduig its message of happiness to the world. Marie Tremblay. Sixl -scvcn TOP ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: E. DAVIDSON, H. POXON, E. L. ECCLESTON, K. WILLIAMS, A. CAMERON One of the most interesting and intriguing classes of the school year was the Puppet Class. Every Thursday afternoon a group of girls gathered together in the Puppet Studio to try its skill at modeling, sawing, nailing, painting, designing, string- ing, and working marionettes; for, you see, to be a Puppeteer one must be a jack of all trades — a sculptor, painter, carpenter, and designer. In the beginning, the work was not so interesting as it later became. We mod- eled the heads ; and if we wanted the head of a woman, the result was usually that of a man, or vice-versa. In casting the heads, we often found our hands as hard as cement and frequently they stuck to the pan. The work became more fascinating when the head had dried, for we painted the face according to our own whims. Some we painted fantastically; others were supposed to look natural, but to us they looked like glorified clowns. Then we chose a play, and began to work on the characters. Saint George and the Dragon turned out to be a great success, thanks to the efforts of our splendid teacher, Miss Gaines. We hope that next year, Mary ' s Merry Marionettes will rank among the leading clubs at St. Mary ' s Academy. Harriette Poxon. Si.vty-i ' ii hl ALAUUIN CLLB Top row, from left J. Stark, P.

February 9, 1931 Motto: Fides Jubilans President — Betty Stark Secretary — Maude Hochgraef Vice President — Mercedes Bach Treasurer — RoSAMUNDE EwiNG Catholic liturgy is the perfect expression of all that revelation tells us of God and of the supernatural. It is beautiful and admirable for its venerable antiquity, its great wealth of symbolism and color imagery ; its vivid expression of every emotion of the human soul in those glorious outpourings of praise and love and gratitude and penitence that have drawn the souls of men to communion with God since the beginning of time. The Gregorian Chant which permeates Catholic liturgy forms the natural language of the Saints of all ages who speak with God ; yet it fell into disuse in public worship during many generations. It was preserved and fostered, however, by the monastic institutions of the church. At various periods in the history of the church an appeal was made for the restoration of the chant. In 1903 Pope Pius X, of blessed memory, vigorously renewed the appeal and the movement has been gaining strength since that time. The movement at Saint Mary ' s Academy received a new impetus under the direction of the Reverend Ermine Vitry, O.S.B., Diocesan Director of Music, who m addition to the regular courses in Gregorian Music given to the students, inaugur- ated a voluntary choir of seventy-five high school students who through intensive study are qualified to give demonstrations of the chant. Seventy It cre futile to expect a spontaneous demand for good liturgical music from people who have never heard it. The volunteer choir goes from church to church and renders a simple but true liturgical High Mass. The purpose is to demonstrate not only the charm and beauty of the chant but also the possibility of restoring church music to its pristine purity and position iia the church. The hope for the restoration lies in the coming generation who must be trained in it from earliest youth. That the chanted Mass and V espers in the true liturgical spirit will soon become a need and a joy to the Christian people was evidenced by the favorable reception accorded to Father Vitry ' s traveling choir by the pastors and people of the following parishes where they were invited to sing : Holy Cross, Januarv H; St. Columbkille, January 18; St. Brigid, Feb. 1; St. Vincent ' s, Feb. 8; St. Paul ' s, Feb. 15; St. Anthony ' s, Long- Beach. March 1st; Imm.-:culate Conception, March 8th; St. John ' s, Hyde Park, March 17; St.. Mary ' s Academy, March I ' th. Special appreciation of the choir was shown by the pastor of Saint Peter and Paul ' s, Wilmington, in an invitation to sing, on March 15th, at the dedication of that splendid new church. Later the choir was invited by Doctor E. C. Moore, Director of the University of California at Los Angeles, to sing at the University. The choir feels well repaid in pleasure and profit for the intensive work done under their exceptional Director, who prophesies greater accomplishments for the coming year. Inspired with new and intenser enthusiasm they will take up their slogan: For a deeper appreciation and uni ersal propagation of Sublime, Sacred Music. W T ' f iii m S i • ■ !

To the club members of future years we wish great success, and hope that they will continue to guard the Golden Eagle. Catherine Kelly. Although the Latin Club, the Guardian of the Golden Eagle, has been organized only this year, it has proved quite successful. Because of the large number of members we already have, our principal meeting was held in the auditorium. Thus given its initial start, we hope that, under the guidance of Sister Loyola, this club will continue to flourish in the years to come. Catherine Bushard. Our aim in establishing this Latin Club is to stimulate further interest in the study of the classics. Latin, as an everyday study, is rat ' ier boring, but bv means of this organization we hope to make it more attractive. Under the leadership of next year ' s seniors I know that this club will continue to flourish as it has in this, its initial year. Irma Steckr, ' 31.

Friendship and loyalty to one another was an outstanding characteristic of our school year, and it was because of this feature that we succeeded in cur ambitions. I have considered it a special honor to be leader of your ranks, Boardettes, and I hope that in future years you will have continued success far surpassing that of former years. Thelma Petersen. This organization has been in existence for two years, and it is rapidly proving most successful. During the last term the Boardettes had a candy sale, for the purpose of adding funds to their treasury. In everything that we have undertaken, we have had splendid co-operation from every Boardette. In appreciation of this spirit, then, I bid you — farewell. Margaret Doud. Scvcnly-four SKETCH FROM LIFE Scene: Study Hall. Time: 7:00 P.M.

She had received constant requests asking her to re- organize the Debating Club, which had been begun by the yellow ties several years before. It was not even necessary to call the meeting to order, so attentive were the girls. The gathering was in reality more or less in the nature of a discussion, which marked the b-ginning of our present club. We, the senior members of this organization, have endeavored to take our part in its foundation; we sincerely hope that the seniors of 1932 will not fail to carry out our proposed plan. • ..

Sevcntv-six IN APPRECIATION: Saint Mary ' s Student Body expresses its appreciation to Mr. Willedd Andrews and members of the Junipero Serra Council, 2404, of the Knights of Columbus for their interest in our student participation in the National Oratorical Contest this year. Through the influence of Mr. Andrews and through the kindness of the Council, two members of our Student Body were awarded medals, and it gives us a certain well-defined feeling of elation to be able to thank these men through the pages of this, our own publication. To Father Vitry, the girls of Saint Mary ' s Acvademy owe a heavy debt of gratitude. He has placed us several rungs higher on the ladder of achievement, by arousing in us a more intense appreciation of the music of the Church. The lessons he has taught us are invaluable and it would seem a grave misdemeanor on our part if we did not take advantage of this chance to say, Thank you, Father Vitry. We are grateful for the active co-operation of all our friends in helping the Student Body to make its annual Garden Fete and Bridge Tea a great success. The material aid which you have given us in the past two years, and the great interest that you have shown in our college (to which the proceeds go) strengthens our confidence in your unflagging support. Thank you. MISSION SAN LUIS REY Hidden away in the heart of the hills Majestic and stately in plan, A symbol of love for God Divine, Wrought by the hand of man. From far away across the sea Came the sons of Saint Francis one day. They built a house for the King of Kings And named it San Luis Rey. A story of love the padres told And labored through many a year. Teaching the creed to Indian tribes Who gathered from far and near. Though the years are long, yet the mission stands And its sonorous bell still rings. Calling its children, faithful and true. To worship the King of Kings. Laura Lee Duffy. ScvcnIy-sc ' Lrii A SHAKESPEARIAN DREAM Dreaming! ' es, dreaming — but not at the right time! The nap I was taking was during English Literature. Sister was talking — indefinitely, it seemed to me in my somnolent state — about Shakespeare. The greatest dramatist of all time wrote this — and that — she was saying. The greatness of Shakespeare had no effect upon me, for I soon reached the land of Nod. And lo and behold, I seemed ' to hear that far-famed playwright reproaching me: Romeo and Juliet set out on the Twelfth Night to visit King Lear. They had not gone far when The Tempest arose. They obtained shelter at an inn kept by the Merry Wives of Windsor. Here they met Anthony and Cleopatra , also resting from the storm. In this Hrm ' et lived The Merchant of Venice. He entertained them with the Comedy of Errors. Twj Gentlemen of Verona arrived to relate the slaying of Othello by Macbeth. After the storm abated the journey was resumed. Julius Caesar asked if he could travel in the partv. As You Like It , they replied. While traveling he told them the Winter ' s Tale of The Taming of the Shrew. Upon arriving at the castle they found to their surprise Henry V ruling. Astonished, they looked at one another only to find it was a Midsummer Night ' s Dream. So after Much Ado About Nothing they returned home and — All ' s Well That Ends Well. Wake up, sleepy head, and pay attention in my class. It was the voice of Sister that woke me, almost causing me to fall out of my chair. I was informed by the same voice: For sleeping in my class, young lady, you may read the Tragedy of Macbeth. I read the play — a double tragedy ! Julia Reigh. THE CAFETERIA Noon — Lessons are over for a while It ' s time to relax and time to smile. But is it? No, indeed it is not. We girls cannot go to our favorite spot. To the cafeteria we all must run. And get our lunches one by one. We stand in line ; it goes so slow. And moves along in silent row. Of course we can ' t yell ; that wouldn ' t be nice We can ' t climb over or under the rail ; We must hurry about as quiet as mice. We must wait our turn just like a snail. Then at the counter our gaze does meet Spinach, and carrots, turnips, and beets. Only four at a table are allowed to sit. (The teacher in charge sees to it.) After we ' ve eaten we ' re ready to go. Who ' s calling us now and says, Oh, no ! Back we are sent, the table to clear. We must pick up papers, and then. Oh, dear! It ' s time for the bell, no time for play. The noon has ended as it does each day. Irma Steger. Seventy-eight THE PATH OF YESTERDAY As 1 am sitting on the saiul. My dream boat passes by The windswept paths of long ago, Are brought before my eyes. Could I but turn the book of time To pages bright and gay, Where each glad hcur does live again The days at S. M. A. Visions of clinging i - nooks Mornings gay and bright — Until the pathway of my dreams. Fades softly into night. Cathhrine Tomicich. GRADUATION DAY Twelve years we ' ve waited f ir the day That is so close at hand. And now each one goes on her way Exploring Grown-up Land. What happy thoughts we Ic.tvc bt-hind ! What happy hours we ' ve had. Gathering what knowledge we could lind With book, and pen, and pad. Though in a wa - we ' re blithe and gay ( )ne thing we can ' t deny, Wc ' U miss Saint Mary ' s every day — It hurts to say goodbye. Alice Morin ' . As I was walking down the street I chanced to meet a Senior sweet. I walked with her a little way Until .she came to S. M. A. With heads held high and shoulders straight We entered the room a trifle late. The red ties were in great distress Choosing the graduation dre.ss. But then the smiles all turned to frowns — Sister decided on caps and gowns. Kathleen- McLacghlin. Sci ' cnty-nine THELMA Out in the garden, in the month of May, Out in the garden, laughing and gay, Thelma is spending her life ' s happy hours, Mad with the sunshine, the fragrance, the flowers. She came from old Norway so dark and so drear, Where winter ' s long night is freighted with fear. She came to us trembling — her shy little face. As pale as a lily — her heart full of grace. She came from a land where flowers don ' t grow ; Where a plant now and then is loved up midst the woe, From a land where the sunshine is lost for a while, And happiness dies in the face that should smile. And out of it all, our Thelma to-day Has answered the call to be happy and gay. She loves California — she laughs and she sings. And gladness to others unconsciously brings. Oh! Dear California, the land of the West. Thelma sings to you — names you the brightest and best. Emmy Lou Eccleston. ANDALUCIA In all my life, I was never so thrilled as when, two years ago, I was going to- ward Andalucia, the land of the castinets, of love, and of joy. The panorama stretching before our eyes was beautiful ; in the background rose purple mountains, their rugged snow-capped peaks outlined against a sky of clear blue. Nestled among the mountains were deep valleys, dotted here and there with picturesque hamlets. Near a mountain pass herdsmen could be seen dressed in color- ful peasant clothes. Moorish castles clung like eagle nests to the cliffs, bringing to my mind the days of Spain ' s struggles with the Moors. At last, far away, I saw the spires and domes of beautiful Seville outlined against the horizon. When I walked through the picturesque and colorful streets I ex- claimed, as have many others: Quien no ha visto a Sevilla No ha visto maravilla. Soon the view changed, and as w e passed through dark streets we could see, now and then, a cabellero softly playing a guitar beneath the balcony of a dark- eyed senorita. Eighty The view from the Giralda is matchless. There one can see the narrow streets below, the white little houses looking gay with brightly colored flowers in the patios and in the balconies, the parques, the Alcazar with its sombre-colored Moorish towers. Seville was once a Moslem city — the metropolis of the Moors. When the Christians came, it was conquered by the Spanish armies of Saint Ferdinand. These conquerors built a vast and mpgnificent church, which now is a treasure house con- taining works of many famous Spanish painters: Murillo, Goya, and many others. As a result, Seville possesses one of the greatest cathedrals of all Spain — a land famed for its churches. Ne.vt to the Cathedral, Seville ' s grandest sight is the Alcazar; it is like the Alham- bra, only it is smaller. This wonderful building served as a residence for many Span- ish kings, and its Moorish style has been preserved throughout the years. In Seville ' s gardens there are tall palms, huge magnolias and all kinds of beauti- ful flowers; there are walks and cool fountains. This place, once full of gaiety, stands quiet now; it is a lasting monument to the greatness of the Romans, and, in its har- mony of color, it is a living toast to Moorish beauty and brilliancy. To me, Seville is the Gem of Andalucia ; it is a city of delightful fancies, where the sun ever shines. Leaving Seville, we turn to quiet old Granada, with its memories of the Moors, and of the glorious past. The mentioning of the word Granada brought to my mind a vision of Oriental splendor, of fairy palaces, and of enormous towers, — a vision of the far-off age when Spain was yet a part of the Islamic Empire. There we find the contrast of a race that died away, to another that rose up above its ruins; Arabic fortresses, evidently pillars of invincible power, are testimonies of the Moorish fall; the walls of Granada, more than a song of praise to the one who knew how to construct them, are a hymn of victory to the one who was able to conquer them. On the northern brow of the Sierra Madre appears picturesque Granada, dis- playing its precious monuments on the slopes of seven hills. From afar it looks like an open pomegranate, and since ancient times it has borne that name and device. The view of the city when the sun is setting is a view of rare beauty. The sun, before going down, covers the horizon with ardent fire, as if it wanted to make the Andalucian soul forget its melancholy aspect, and conserve in itself the heat of life, the enthusiasm, and the true and solid gaiety which characterizes it. The city, as a whole, is fascinating and mysterious. Oh, my country of dreams! I hope that someday some of my classmates will go to visit you, and that they will love and admire you as much as I do. Louisa Ipixa. Little nooks and corners, Tall and stately trees, Lovely flowers and bushes Swaying in the breeze.

Eiyhly-one SAINT MARY ' S ACADEMY Fair is she to behold, our school of thirtj ' -nine summers, Colorful are her lawns as the sea that rolls on the beach near by. Green, and how cool they seem, beneath the sweet shade of her trees! Sweet is her air, as the themes that are taught in her halls and classrooms. When in the rush of the world she gives her children, in love, Lessons of God and His world, ah! fair in sooth is our school. Fairer is she when, on Sunday morn, the bell in the hallway Calls from their quiet sleep the girls, as Our Lord, from his sleep Called Lazarus, and bid him return to his sisters. By the busy street she stands with her statues of Christ and his Mother, Wearing her creeping vines, her kirtle of rose, the arbor. Built in olden times over the pathway, and since, as a haven. Beloved by Sisters and Students for many short years. But a celestial brightness — a more ethereal beauty Shines in her grounds when, at graduation, Through her gates sadly we walk, with God ' s benediction upon us. When we are gone, it will be to us as the ceasing of exquisite music. Barbara Connolly. Eighty-two I ' .iijhly-lUrcc LITTLE SHIPS Sail on, sail on, my little ship, Out on life ' s billowy sea.

They ' l l argue this, and they ' ll argue that. Of the color of the rainbow, or the color of a hat The leaders are chosen ; then the topic is taken, Horrors! they think, we are surely forsaken! But up they stand as straight as can be. They ' ll fight to the last, just wait and see! The contest is on! How the words do fly! From mouth to mouth, they swiftly rush by. At last ' tis through ; for a time at least All are relieved — the noise has ceased. Such is the life of a debater Ah, well ; They ' ll be rewarded later. Josephine Hessel.

Uighly-four IN THE CHAPEL I entered the Chapel one gloomy day, Knelt at the altar and tried to pray. iVIy heart was burdened with heavy thoughts Like a winding rope that is filled with knots. I flung my.self nt my Saviour ' s feet; In a gentle voice He bade me rise And I gazed at Him with tearfilled eyes. Think, my child, do you not recall. At IVIy passion I rose after every fall? He lifted high my heart with hope. He gently unwinded the knotted rope And when I left the Chapel again I found I ha l lost all my grief and pairi. AxXA VlTALO. ST.

Nor is it the gorgeous sunset, nor tile rainbow with colors bright; It isn ' t the great wide ocean, nor the sno - so pure and white.

Eighty- five IN MEMORIAM GLADYS WOODS RUBEY MARGARET PRYOR LORETTA McDERMOTT Sleep that no pain shall wake. Night that no morn shall break, Till joy shall overtake Her perfect peace. Christina Rossett. On November thirtieth Margaret Pryor died. Never did anyone spread happiness as did our Margaret. Hers was a joyous spirit, which never tired of giving. Who can ever forget her gracious way of acceding to every importunate request for just one more recitation? Even her last days, filled as they were with intense pain, were joyous — the ready smile which was never withheld, and now — joy shall overtake her perfect peace. But when the sun in all his state Illumined the eastern skies, She passed through glory ' s morning gate, And walked in Paradise. — James Aldrich. It was in the early dawn of February twenty-third, Loretta McDermott , ' 30, left us. Her passing was like her brief young life — unobtrusive, uncomplaining. Her class- mates will not soon forget the sweet, gentle girl whose high ideals were equalled by her strength of character. Truly it was for her joy, but for our sorrow, that she passed through glory ' s morning gate, and will walk in Paradise. On the afternoon of January fifteenth Gladys Woods Rubey (Mrs. James M. Kemper) of the class of 1915 was taken by pneumonia. Those who knew her well, realize the great loss which her death brought to her husband, and her three children. A short quotation from the Ktinsas City Star gives a clue to her active life which closed so briefly at the age of 32. Of all the many interests which Mrs. Kemper crowded into her short and vivid life that of writing was the one to which she looked forward mostly toward actual accomplishment. Her love of California brought her each summer to Santa Barbara, where she requested that her body be laid on the grassy hillside overlooking the blue Pacific. May God rest her soul!

Since she loves them, it is only fitting, that, as a good foster mother, she should greet them at least once a year. The time has come, and, in this, our yearly puhlication, we speak to them, to let them know that the are nut forgotten, as thc jourrun on their various pathwa s in Life. Other hope had she none, nor wish in life hut to follow Meekly, with reverent step:., the sacred feet of her Saviour. — Longfellow Looking over our Alumnae list we find that many of our girls have ch.)sen the hetter part. Those who ha e alrcadv hegun life of servic; as daughtc-rs of Saint Joseph arc: Alice Brad , Fio Pino, Winifred Spellacy, Marie Butler, I Liry Josephine Ferret, ] Largaret Mary Borchard (the founder of the Students ' Spiritual Council of Saint Mary ' s Academy and its first president).

Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; Homekeeping hearts are happiest. — Longfellow The memhers of the Alumnae who Ikut heen married this ear are: Dorotlu ' Lieh, !VLary Despars, Helen Raedcll, ALarjorie Sloan, I Lay McMastcr, ALirgaret Herron, and Lillian Mav. Another, a red-tied graduate of four years ago, is engaged to be married. Her name is Lillia McDonough, and the fortunate gentleman is Michael Thomas. To Lillia and to all the matrons of the past year, we wish to extend our lieartiest congratulations and our very best ishes for their future happiness. Hail Hoh Queen, Thou purest Fount of Wisdom. Sparkling like half-veiled jewel from the mists floating over Brentwood Hills, Mount Saint Mary ' s College counts among her ever-increasing student body a goodly number of Saint Mary ' s graduates. Listed in the College Student Bodv are the fol- lowing members of the High School Alumnae: Paula Pick, a red-tied graduate of four years ago, is now a Senior, and the beloved President of the Student Bod ' of Mount Saint Mary ' s, Joan Denoyer, Anita Arnold, Paula Sullivan, Louise Anselmo, Mary Virginia Bryan, Alicia Hannin, Mar Angela Hannin, Helen Shubert, Claire Deegan, Mary McDevitt, Betty Meade, Bernice Ryan, Esther Deegan, Sylvia Edwards, Vibiana Furlong, Frances Wharton, Elizabeth Gerlock, Henrietta ALaurin, Mary McCarthy, Janet Morris, Clementine Fischer, Lucille ALitulich, Madeline ( ' Connor, .and Jane McGrath. We feel that their years at Saint ALu ' s Academy have taught them to realize the value of a higher Catholic education; and now that they are students of an institution whose aim is higher Catholic education, they are showing their appreciation by being loyal students of Mount Saint ALiry ' s College — The College of our Queen. Eiijlily-si r II Labor is life! ' Tis the still water jaileth; Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth. — Osgood. Those of our Alumnae, who, having finished their course of studies at Saint Mary ' s Academy, are now continuing their education at several different colleges are: Ana Maria Alvarez, Gertrude Bell, Rosemary Barry, Dorothy Black, Josephine Comby, Madge Davidson, Kathryn Thornton, Elinor Devin, Marguerite Dunne, Frances Fox, Marion Kennedy, Luella Sultner, Irene Steger, Helen Townsend. To them we say — may the success you attain be lasting — and at the height of your success don ' t forget Saint Mary ' s. — home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. — Montgomery. Agnes Donnelly, the editor-in-chief of last years Lightning, is at home this year helping to supervise affairs; Dorothy Goodnight, Vivian Hainley, Marguerite Hinman, Dorothy Hamilton (notice how even after graduation, they class the latter two together) Margaret Mary Lavin, Grace Long, Marjorie Mather, Alberta Luedders, Marion Wooldridge, Rita Umhoefer, Virginia Wertin, Ruth Thorup, Rita Scoles, Marcella Roy, Grace Remaker, Beulah Marie Benson, Mary Virginia Elsinor, Dixine Marshall, and Lucy Warden are also at home, and we know that every one of these girls is doing her share in the management of the household. The path of life has far too many a thorn; Help whom thou mays ' t. Helpfulness is the policy being followed by those Saint Mary ' s girls who are in training to be nurses — Martha Bacon (you will remember Martha as able to bring joy to any sick-room), Charlene Girard, and Marie Cremins. We are proud that some of our graduates are numbered among the ranks of those whose aim is to relieve not only the physical sufferings of mankind, but often the spiritual needs as well. As we follow in the footsteps of our A ' umnae, we find they lead us into many little lanes off the great path to eternity. Having visited those peaceful souls who are now blissfully happy behind the hallowed convent walls, we walk a little way with each of our Alumnae down the different lanes, rejoicing all the while, at the good that is being accomplished by each and everyone. Saint Mary ' s Academy can well be proud of her Alumnae and, she is. RosEMARiE Arena and Patricia Lieb. The Faculty and Student Body of Saint Mary ' s Academy wish to extend sincere sympathy to : Paula Sullivan, on the death of her beloved father. Marguerite Gillespie, on the death of her beloved father. Catherine, Margaret, and Mary Ann Fitzsimmons, on the death of their beloved father. Eighty-eight NO MATTER THE NAME— Triumpli int Punch! with joy I follow thee Through the glad progress of thy wanton course. — Lortt Byron Perhaps t ' e most direct approach to the marionettes is through the trodden avenue of history. In the temples along the Ganges, long ago in ancient India, there were numerous wooden dolls, large and small, which were moved by ingenious devices. In Egyptian tombs, archaeologists found many wooden and clay puppets which were worked by fine strings, just as they are today. In the Orient we find that puppetry has advanced to a very high degree. There are shadow puppets, puppets of wood and clay, and several other kinds. Before the time of Christ, the p-ople of all these countries knew and loved a tinv figure which corresponds to our Punch. He was the same deformed scamp who hobnobbed with kings and stole offerings from the pagan idols. At the beginning of the tenth century, man - stationary puppet theaters had been establi-h ' -d in everv countrv south of the European continent. Punch — I shall call him that — was still the favorite of the people. In . ' outhern Europe, especi- ' lly in Italy, pupp?ts were used at all Church festivals. During the Christmas and Easter seasons, pageants were presented with life-siz.-d niprionette figures. Puppets were built in many of the homes of the nobility. Famous artists designed costumes and scenery for the marionettes; poets and dramatists wrote plays e ■pecially for them. In Spain, people are as devoted to puppets .as thev are in Italy, and one may trace these articulated figures back to earlv ecclesiastical ceremonies. Charles V hid a great love for puppets, and when he retired to the monasten,- some of his favorite pupneteers followed him and amused him for long hours with their tiny actors. Many ponderous pupp°ts worked bv intricate mechanism were invented at this t:me. For over three-hundred years there has been little change in the titeres of Spam. The French are no less devoted than the Italians to the diminutive Polichinelle. Marionettes in France gained such popularity among the nobility that in 1669 a company was -un1moned to amuse the rovl Daunhin. In some resnects the punpets of France have surpassed those of Italy. The marionette theatres in France resembled jewel cases and the puppets themselves were paragons of intricate mechanical engin- eering. In France every phase of the drama was represented ; plays, light opera, grand opera, revues, dancing, singing, and characterizations of the foremost actors and actresses of the day. The theatre covered every age from Ancient Eg ptian to modern French musical comedies. The most important puppet show of Germany is Faust. It has survived through the ages and people still clamor for Dr. Faustus in any German puppet theatre. Puppets failed to amuse the upper classes of Germany, but hundreds of theatres and traveling companies roamed through the countn,- among the middle classes. Punch, the leading figure in all English puppet shows, may be traced b,ick through the middle ages to the Druids. Punch rollicked through England, was on intimate terms with the Patriarchs, sat on the lap of the Queen of Sheba, had kings and lords for his associates, and cheated the Inquisition as well as the hangman. During the reign of Queen Anne he was in high favor and was often mentioned in the Tatler and the Spectator. How old are marionettes in America? In our own dear country we may trace them back to the religious ceremonials of the nature Indians long before Columbus made his greatest discovery in 1492. The puppets of the Indians are still in promi- nent use in their religious ceremonies. In colonial America we often hear of travelmg Eighty-nine puppet shows which delighted the youthful hearts of the North and South. But of the greatest interest to us are the puppet shows and showmen of our own times. In every city from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast one may find both professional and amateur puppeteers. In tenement districts and large social settlements children employ their time by designing puppets and by presenting puppet plays. They are used in colleges in connection with the literature and drama courses. There are many puppeteers in America, but the foremost of these is Tony Sarg whose puppets are loved by people all over the world. One of the most active rnarionette companies in the United States is the Yale Puppeteers under the direc- tion of Harry Burnett. The most important feature by this group of enterprising young men are: The Overture , played by the Haydn Trio , and the Javanese Dancer, which has twenty-seven strings and is famous for her weird beauty and graceful, oriental rhythms. In San Francisco, the puppets of Blanding Sloan present a varied repertoire. His most interesting play is The Emperor Jones by O ' Neill. In the tniy theatre the war drums create a weird atmosphere and the marvelous mechanics of the puppets makes one wonder at their structure. These are some of the better known American artists who should eventually form a critical and appreciative audience for purely American marionettes. They come from far away. They have been the joy of innumerable generations which preceded our own ; they have gained, with our direct ancestors, many brilliant successes ;they have made them laugh, but they have also made them think; they have had eminent protectors; for them celebrated authors have written. At all times they have enjoyed a liberty of manners and language which has rendered them dear to the people for whom they were made. — E. M. Harrietts Poxon. mf PUPPETEERS Nmct RIDING SONG Over the hills and far away, off on a glorious canter. With hearts that are merry, joyous, and gay. With plenty of good-natured banter!

Niiiciv-onc The athletic fields of S.M.A. Have grown more popular day by day. We opened all seasons with pep and vim, And had many a contest For classes to win. Volley-ball started the first of the year; Then basket-ball came with a shout and a cheer To the ccming of baseball we looked with delight, For we ' ve plenty of fpirit From morning till night. After many a sport (of which I ' ve made mention) To tennis we gave undivided attention. We enjoyed every minute — there was so much fun in it. But now it is June — All ' s ended too soon! Margaret McDonough. OUR BASKETBALL TEAM ' Tis the old saying of long ago. Made famous by tongue and pen : If you don ' t succeed the first time. Try, and try again.

L LEADER recipp: for a sonnet First take a week or two of leisure time And set to cool in some obscure retreat; Then mix in, here and there, a bit of rhyme To make it not so dry, nor yet so sweet. Of inspiration you must take an ounce. Well stirred with quite a lot of learned skill. Prosaic thoughts — all such ou must renounce, For but a tiny pinch of such thoughts will Work havoc with the beautiful refrain. Then to the dictionary you must go. To work, and rack, and stir your weary brain, And in the end you have a sonnet — No, It is impossible to make it such. For poet ' s brain, I shall have ne ' er a touch. Marie Dreyfuss.

Be careful of Sister ' s watchful eye. Lest everyone might lose her tie. Talking and laughing in halls are banned, (Or in the S. B. court you ' ll land.) Ditching and pranks may be lots of fun, But these (we found) should not be done. There ' re lots of ways to lessen your work But they ' ll do you no good when quarter tests lurk So do your work and keep out of trouble And then you ' ll find your reward will be double. All this advice, the Seniors pass To this year ' s Juniors, a wonderful class. Jane McMaster.

ADVICE TO FRESHMEN Listen, my Freshies, and you shall hear The good advice from the seniors dear. Don ' t get discouraged and give up the fight. But continue bravely with all your might. In nineteen hundred and thirty-one, Your hardships now have just begun. Remember you ' ve still three years to face. And you ' ll h ave to work hard to keep up the pace. In with the work there ' s fun — that ' s true, But don ' t let good times get the best of you. Then when you ' re seniors you ' ll be glad for this tip. You can give it to youngsters who ' ll surely need it. Catherine Bushard.

But why speak of sterling worth when his is golden ? Brother Leo, in his lecture of March 31, earned for himself a distinguished reputation at Saint Mary ' s Academy — a fact which is most astonishing because the verdict was unanimously given by a group of girls whose opinions usually vary with astounding expressions of individuality. The body of the address was an allegory which, in its termination became a reality. Essentially, its message taught that the climb from the pit inhabited by nonentities is a climb that must be made through a flood of derision, up a hardly scalable path, to a highly dubious future, in a land of shining, brilliant promises- alone. Solitude is the price of greatness in any field. The mass does not under- stand, has no conception of the happiness to be attained in the land above the pit, for the mass has not the physical stamina, the mental courage, nor the spiritual reserve to climb out. We do not desire to be associated with the mass that lives in primitive fashion at the feet of achievement, and it has b:en our distinct privilege to hear, from Brother Leo, somewhat of the Realms of Gold. Therefore, we rise from the pit, if for no other reason than to salute him, the shining figure beckoning from the brink. The thrill of his words, and their meaning, will not soon leave us, and with the courage of the tarry buccaneer our gay, merry upward path begins. Catherine Kelly. WILL MEN BE LIKE GODS THE SHADOW ON THE EARTH, THE MASTERFUL MONK, BY OWEN FRANCIS DUDLEY Philosophy, morality and theology are found in these three books. The first contanis philosophical ideas, moral standards, and the principles for which Catholicism stands. From this book is drawn the material for the two others. The Shadow on The Earth gives the author an opportunity of putting in a fictional way the standards that he outlined in the first book. The Atheist repre- sents the evil and temptation of the present day, modernistic philosophy ; the Cripple, who finds himself fascinated but not satisfied, finally finds his object. Truth, in Brother Anselm. The novel teaches that suffering is not a curse, but a blessing, proving the existence of God. The Masterful Monk is a continuation of The Shadow on the Earth. It sets forth the way in which Catholicism, with its powerful protecting arms, does not lose its grip. One may attempt to defy it, but in his heart remains the Truth. The Grip , personified by the Cripple in The Shadow on the Earth, remains throughout life. Mary Lee.

But many and many a day did he grieve Till God took pity and gave him Eve. Now Adam and Eve, does the story go, Had now and then a trifling woe. So one day Adam his leaves did pack In a stylish, up-to-date, thistle-down sack. Poor Eve in tears fled to a tree Where Satan gave her an apple so free. She hastened to Adam With steps so light And gallantly he took a bite. So this is the way, my readers, you see. That all of man ' s sufferings came to be. Laura Lee Duffy. AIM Why, let ' s be gay! For what is there So pleasing as sweet ecstacy? The gloomy self that lives in shade Should hence pursue light phantasy. Hazel Sill. Please ! The Facultv would like to ask the girls if thev would please talk louder in the halls. The Student Body officers are complaining of too much interest being shown at the Student Body meetings. Please note this and avoid a repetition of the same. Mary O ' Sullivan wants the girls to make their paper designs on the campus more modernistic. It would greatly please the faculty if more girls would lunch at John ' s and re- lieve the cafeteria of the noon hour rush.
