these animals. And after an entire afternoon of pictures, trophies, and stories, we thanked Father for his visit with us We became so engrossed in acquiring speed in short- hand that before we knew it, it was Iarch and time for our retreat. These were three days in which we were very close to our Father in heaven, as Father Hoeger showed us in his splendid conferences on the Our Father and Hail Mary. To close these beautiful days of close relationship with our Lord, we received Holy Communion in a body and renewed our Baptismal vows before the entire congregation. This was topped off with a fine breakfast, followed by a splendid talk by Mr. Smith of Toledo, Ohio--a convert to our Faith. You may be thinking WNell didn't they have a Mothers' Party this year?n Yes, we did, but because of bad weather in previous years it was postponed to April 18. On this day we greeted our mothers once more at St. hary's for a day's association with our teachers and an inspection of our work- shop. Hith the coming of spring it was difficult to keep our minds on our shorthand, but we succeeded in doing this and before we knew it, the last week of school was just ahead of us. hith it came our class day. And the Ju iors served us a delicious luncheon. Le were honored to have Father Hoeger address us--a privilege we were deprived of last year. The next day we were again put into a festive mood by the Alumnae. These former graduates showed us a splendid time that evening at the Whittier Hotel and heartily welcomed us into their midst. Then alas, tho day arrived--June ll. Yes, it was a little tearful, but we rejoiced that we had had the opportu- nity of graduating from so fine a school. In the morning we had our Graduation Mass at 0:00 and in the evenind we had our commencement exercises. lt was a scene too beau- tiful to describe as the Graduates solemnly walked up to the statue of our Blessed Hother and there dedicated them- selves to her for the rest of their livesg and then the final ceremony--the distribution of diplomas. The day following graduation was the date set for our school excursion, and for the second time we boarded the boat to spend another enjoyable day at Bob-lo. Soon we shall be embarking on Life's Sea. Mo earnestly hope that our voyage in future years will be as pleasant and as profitable as it has been in the past. he hope and pray that when it is over and we have reached the eternal shore, our dear Pastor and the Sisters will rejoice to know that of the children of St. Mary's that God had given to their keeping, they had not lost one.
