Susie told me that the Dime Store on the next corner was owned by none other than Antoinette Stabile and Adele Michaelg and the music department boasted Betty Carville as piano player. The girls invited me to be seated and listen to one of their favorite programs that was about to begin.l I gladly did so, and was soon listening to the soothing voices of Mildred Bolle and Virginia Faber, who conducted the NAdvice to the Lovelornn program every Monday, Wednesday, or other week day when the microphone was left unguarded. Anna Birk and Margaret Schmidt were now a famous sister team, singing their way into a million homes.

It has been one of preparation for the future--a Xwhf preparation that will prove a wonderful asset in finding our XX f, 'X laces in this great world. ml ! For most of us, the period of scholastic learning has ended. We stand on the threshold of a life new to us--the life of the business world. Only now, as we are about to step out into the confusion of life, do we realize how much we have depended upon our parents and teachers, how seldom we stood on our own feet, how important are those friend- ships which we never considered before, and how happv were those school days. The beautifwd friendships we have formed here in school will be but memories. Our paths will separate, perhaps never to cross again, but though our individual aims be as varied as the tributaries of a mighty river, our mutual faith and devotion to Mary shall be the binding links which unite our hearts. And when our work seems hard, when our troubles seem great, and sorrow overcomes us, may we receive new strength and new courage fro the memory of those happy days at old St. Mary's.
