X. A ' 'L .7 'L 'Q ' 'a 0 GZ ' I I X iynfxemher When the frost is on the pumpkin we receive our first reports. Miserere! Gaudeamus! N 'N His Grace, the Most Reverend John T. lVlcNicholas honored St. lVIary's by a visit. ' N-a lVlr. Jerome Hugger, the Captain of the 1926 Football Team, was host at the Alms Hotel to the team and the Athletic Council. And rumor says that he was an ideal host. A The spirit of hospitality is infectious. This time the host was Reverend Father Hynes, who assembled some of his boys large and small, for a pleasant evening at the Alms. 'N Shades of Cicero! The Hery eloquence of our debaters Cheard for the first timej held the Senior Class spellbound. The future Websters deserved and received much commendation. Mr. Darrow is warned of these youths, whose fame and ability rival his. VN Thanksgiving-the first real break in the calm and placid routine of our search for knowledge! Was it welcomed? Unanimously. Qbeeemher . We've begun to count the days now until the birthday of the King. Perhaps we shouldn'tg but at St. Mary's, December is truly a month of Expectation , so hallowed and so gracious is the time. There is our annual visit to Florence Avenue. There are the arrangements for our party with nearly one thousand guests, and, best of all, the great tree to trim, so tall that one group of seniors decks the upper part from a balcony, while another group trims the lower branches from the first floor of the auditorium. 51 And then the party. Backward, roll backward, oh time in your Hightf' Santa must have sung this old song, and what's more, he got Father Time to listen to him, for Josie was four, and Gene was two, when Santa came. ' A Fun, fun, lots of it, but beneath it all, the real spirit of Christmas is felt and seen and heard, and We know that the memory of these hours will live before that inner eye which is the bliss of solitude .

-95 -K' e ,,e51 , f f bf-Pi f' Sepiemher Glorious Schooldays! Once more St. lVIary's gazed upon the blank and hope- less countenances of freshmen, the swaggering airs of sophomores, the lordliness of juniors, and the serious demeanor of seniors. Oh! disappointment. Futile dreams! We had lessons to prepare for the second day. 5 The business of getting settled and adapting ourselves to schedule, is a task that allows us to breath easily only after that task has been accomplished. Q Paste this in your scrapbook and mark it with ink. The class of 1927 begins work on the year book, under the able direction of George Johnson, our editor-in- chief. A King Football beckoned, and the noble youths of St. lVlary's rushed to represent their Alma Mater on the gridiron in heed to his majesty's call. The routine of practice took on a serious aspect under 'the able direction of Mr. Reddington. GB1:iu!1er Thud! Football! Rah! Everything is centered about this sport. The balmy days of October find our boys showing the result of good coaching and earnest practice. Their motto is co-operation. The results of the month are very gratify- ing, bringing glory not only to the team, but to St. llfaryis. Two ties, two victories. Keep up the good work, team. X1 Mr. Charles Gruber served as City Manager during National Boys' Week, and we had classes while he was doing it. Oh! cruel fate! A The Committee for the Advancement of Visual Education presented a Hoot Gibson thriller last week and-we nearly lost the First Year Boys. They were all going West. The influence of the cinema cannot be over-estimated. Q And do you think that the twelfth of October is a holiday because it commem- orates Columbus, discovery of America? No indeed, gentle youth, this day is set aside to commemorate The Disillusionrnent of the Seniors. On this day they began to sell advertising. r Q x 6 X Page One Hundred Seventeen

up 1 N7 K ,Q . 1' v - K ' if , L Q jlzxnuarg Happy New Year! Everybody! 'Twas a rude awakening after the joys of the Christmas holidays, to return to school and read that item in the January Bulletin, Mid-year Examinations, January 21-28. From now on let every Senior's slogan be Cram! Cram! Cram! No, freshies, those students you saw figuring so intently with a pencil and pad, as they walked through the hall, were not becoming studious, they were merely trying to produce a few more credits. A jubilant January! Our boys turned the tables. Three encounters brought two victories. The stellar defensive work of Jerry Hugger, and the goal shooting of Devaney were the prime factors in our winning these games. xi Another red letter day! The first issue of the Trail , found an incredulous student body, which however changed its collective mind. 5 Extra! The armistice is signed! After a three weeks' debate between faculty, alumni, and seniors, over the adoption of a new ring, we compromised. The design now used will be changed somewhat-modified, as it were . Allen, you're a brave boy. gliehruarg Frolics of February! The annual Mission Bazaar , with its hurry and bustle, its long feverish preparation, its many booths with gay bunting, made of our as- sembly hall, a northern Mardi Gras. This occasion, always looked forward to with so much eagerness, was greeted upon its arrival by an enthusiastic student body. The cooperation of faculty and graduates, made this bazaar the most successful ever held at St. Mary's. N6 The Class of '27 thanks the undergraduates for their assistance, and incidentally their attendance, for after all, it was they who made the bazaar a success. + We're truly glad that Washington and Lincoln were such great men. Two holidays. CI beg your pardon. The twelfth fell on Saturdayj. ' e ,N Memories of Edwin Booth! The shadow of the old master again trod the boards, as the Masque Club presented, Frolic Nonsenciou. The greatest London success cannot compare with this stupendous production. The members of our Buskin Society , acquitted themselves nobly. The efforts of the Walsh Ballet and of Ma Rielage were note-worthy. LN The spirit of Thalia is in the air. The second year presented Everystudent in a manner that reflects credit on them, and on their director. 61 - , T0 7 Q3 6 X 5 Page One Hundred Nineteen
