She has done very well with our varsity basketball team, and as another addition to our physical education program. Miss Wilson trained some of her classes for an archery tournament. She has also been advisor to the Athletic Association and Board, and with her help they have been able to stimu- late a much more enthusiastic sports program.

Hliii C.leanor i lorlli Whenever we think of Safe Kept Memories or of England, we will always think of Miss North, our Eng- lish instructor. Miss North was born in Pennsylvania and received her Master ' s Degree at Pennsylvania State College. She also studied at Oxford University, Oxford, England; Cambridge University, Cambridge, England; The Brit- ish Museum, London; and Harvard University, Cam- bridge, Massachusetts.

Her travel also includes Euro- pean Literary Pilgrimages with American university stu- dents, and she has brought university students from England, France, and Germany to the United States as sponsor for American Literary Pilgrimages. In India. Miss North has an adopted Hindustani daughter, Thanii, who is one of her prime interests. Her hobbies include music and poetry, both of which she likes to compose herself. Her favorite musician is Chopin. Coming to St. Mary ' s eight years ago. Miss North planned to stay only one year, but St. Mary ' s was so beautiful that she has staved on. Next summer she hopes to leave for England on a Study-Travel Pil- grimage with students. Our first Safe Kept Memory can well express Miss North ' s philosophy of life: I gather to my growing need Having a hungry heart to feed. j.i i-jerirude l einboltl Miss Gertrude Rcinbold was born in Jersey City, New Jersey.

She also has taken summer courses at Fordham University. Until she went into the work professionally, dramatics had always been Miss Reinbold ' s hobby. Her very latest hobbies are playing bridge and listening to music with the other members of the faculty. One of the most interesting phases of Miss Rcinbold ' hobby-turned-profession i the time she has spent at summer theaters. Tw she has attended arc the Green- bush Summer Theater in Nv.uk. New York, and the Provincetown Summer Theater in Massachusetts. This is Miss Reinbold ' s first year with us at St. Mary ' s. She holds classes in both speech and dramatic arts. She also directs Samadra, our St. Mary ' s Drama Club. In working with Samadra, she did excellent work on the fall production, Ladies in Retirement, which was a marvelous performance. Our spring play, Only an Orphan Girl, was also an evidence of her fine directing ability. Another important part which Miss Reinbold has played, in connection with her courses, is the direc- tion of the speeches for the tours of state high schools that are being made by the students. Altogether, Miss Reinbold ' s instruction here has been a great help to the students. Wishes for the very best of dramatic futures are hers. ij.t Jsone S fai ' etii Miss lone Stavcly hales from Ellendale, North Dakota.

tEfje Castellan 1949 C ciitoriat In the life of every girl there are times when she must say farewell. She must say good-bye to people and places that have played an important role in the pattern of her life. This is true at St. Mary ' s where in one year or four, she has found a sister in every girl around her. As each of you travel your separate paths, may you remember the little joys that have been yours and the friends that you have made at St. Mary ' s. May you remember, too, that for every good-bye that you must say, you have said hello as well. You have found here beauty and much for which to be grateful. You have known joy and sorrow, good times and those not so good. You have lived through firedrills and exams, Sundays without dates and Mondays with no mail; and, you have come out on top. You have found here many friends — some that, perhaps, you will never see again. You have learned the meaning of loyalty, school spirit, responsibility, and honor ; you know how it feels to be truly proud of your school, your faculty, your fellow schoolmates, and yourself. In this fortress of learning — St. Mary ' s — you have been well prepared. The school has done much for you. But it is rather for the things that you have done for this, your Alma Mater, that we make this tribute to you. May God bless and watch over thirty-five of the grandest girls in the world — the Graduates of 1949. Tour Assistant Editor -|s©(||) i§3H•■ Jo JheS e en lord These few words are directed especially to the Seniors of 1949 — all thirteen. I should like to thank you, each and every one, for making our years together at St. Mary ' s something which none of us could forget. I could not have served as class-president without your individual support and desire for success. Nor is success truly possible unless each becomes a part of it. We have succeded — whether it be recorded in our history or our minds. May each of you find future happiness and the fulfillment of your fondest dreams. You have fulfilled one of mine. Rachel 10.
