Mar. 10- Sniif, Sniff. We lose! We didn't want to win that game with Grand Rapids anyway. Mar. 15-Ding-Dong-Ding! Bang, here we go! Mar. 16 Mar. Mar. Mar. Mar. 24- Our boys are far too brave to see the little ones crushed in the crowd, so they just simply pick up a couple and tuck them safely under their protecting wing and run. Why all the excitement? Just a fire drill ordered by the Fire Chief in spite of the fact that we are in a fireproof building. -We lose another perfectly good classmate who goes to teach the little ones. Catherine, we wish you the best of success in your undertaking. 17-All praise to St. Patrick who gave us this free day! We spend a most enjoyable evening witnessing the Heart of a Shamrock. Congratulations to the 'Stars'! Hail to the birds and fiowers of spring! 21- 22-Can you imagine Senior girls having a snow-ball iight? We all wondered why their faces were so clean when they re- turned to school this afternoon. With Margaret Kelly as presiding officer, Isabel Herzberg as judge, and Frances Ryan and Bessie Totten as Captains, the Class during the Civics Contest furnish plenty of excite- ment today to last for the rest of the year. Congratulations, Bessie on your good choice of contestants. To the oppos- ing party we extend our sincere sympathy. Maybe next time the tables will turn. April 4-No use of our under class-mates going to the photographer for we have wrecked his picture-taking machine. April 7-Our Easter vacation is here at last. One week is truly al- most too great a shock for our nervous systems to endure. We were given Easter Monday to recuperate. April 19-Sister admits the truth! Permission to talk is very Rarely given. CDirect Quotation.J April 20-We have the honor of being addressed by a real Princess. Oh! how many of us wish we were princesses. April 26-We go to press. -Mary C. Gase, '22 ci' 4

Feb. 2 Feb. 3 Feb. A6 Feb. Feb. 14 Feb. 15 Feb. 17 Feb. Feb. Feb. 24 Mar. Mar. Mar. Mar. Mar. 1T Qi 3... -A terrible wind storm causes us to just naturally blow in after our free day of February first. -Mass meeting held in Junior Study Hall. Much enthusiasm is shown, especially when the tickets are distributed. -Marion Fesler attempts to entertain the Seniors but is not long in getting up speed to leave our room. 6-During Sister's absence from the room Lawrence C. en- deavors to conduct our English class. He proves a dismal failure as a teacher. They failed to co-operate, is his re- port to Sister. -Just one year ago today we all came marching with bag and baggage from the Catacombs to occupy our beautiful new school. --The girls play their first game with an outside team. The score is more than five times greater than the opposing team's, proving that there is nothing slow about our girls. -Girls again prove their ability as basketball players by de- feating St. Joseph's with a score of 7 to 5. 22-George Washington's birthday brings the most disagreeable weather outside, but inside all is sunshine and gaiety. Our sale of lunches, candy, punch, popcorn, and peanuts proves to be a splendid success financially and otherwise. The Athletic Association give their first Annual A Hop. 23-We appreciate free days more than anyone can imagine. -The school desks are treated to their biennial cleaning, the said treat being applied by the choice members of the various classes. I wish someone would do something to keep this calendar going. , We have great trouble in remembering which is the East door and which is the West of the Junior Study Hall. We have the pleasure of meeting Reverend Father Thuente, a Dominican. He gives a very interesting talk on the life of St. Thomas Aquinas. Our one regret is that his time with us was entirely too short. 6-Same old wash day. Classes go on as usual. 7-Senior boys astonish the whole Civics class as well as Sister, by giving a very serious debate on the Disarmament Confer- ence.

Splinters from the Cross Little headaches, little heartaches, Little griefs of every day, Little trials and vexations, How they throng around our way! One great cross, immense and heavy, So it seems to our Weak will, Might be borne with resignation, But these many small ones kill. Yet all life is formed of small things, Little leaves make up the trees. Many tiny drops of Water Blending, make the mighty seas. So these many little burdens Pressing on our hearts so hard, All uniting form a 1ife's work, Meriting a grand reward. Let us not then by impatience Mar the beauty of the whole, But for love of Jesus bear all In the silence of the soul. Asking Him for grace sufficient To sustain us through each' loss, And to treasure each small olfering As a splinter from His Cross. Selected
