The wings are guided by instinct through the pathless air to a sure destination. We look and wonder, for we are about to make our first flight and, with it, the test of our learning and of ourselves. Will our path be sure and our goal certain? Only we can determine the answer. And so we leave the familiar behind us. But here in our book are recorded the days of which we are no longer a partg and it is with deep appreciation for all that our school has meant to us that we X. present them to you in this, our CANTORIA.

After two days of wondering whether they would ever be able to look at another shoe, they settled down to enjoy their first year in high school. They showed their class spirit by turning out for sportswith an enthusiasm that has persisted throughout the year. After Christmas vacation the class gave a tea honoring Miss McBain. The skiing theme offered opportunity for novel decorations. The friendly guidance of Miss ,lean Smith, class spon- sor, has helped make their year a delightful one.

Excellent cooperation has been given to improv- ing the quality of JINX, which has come out every month with Sara Willialns and Carolyn Gracey alternating as editor and assistant editor. The Juniors greatly appreciate the aid given by Mrs. Reeve, who has done the typewriting. At Christ- mas time the class sent a CARE package to Korea. The Juniors won the volleyball cham- pionship and played in tl1e final game the eve- ning of the Father-Daughter Banquet. Three girls from the class were chosen to participate in the comedy, She Stoops to Conquer, given by Lakeside School on April second and third. A tea, honoring Miss Stevens, was given on May fourth. ,, J ana Bekins Maralee Brown Joyce Cole Mari an Dawson Catherine Elvins Anne Codefroy Carolyn Gracey Barbara Henry Suzanne Ivey Betsy Leavitt 5, Judy Maslan Sallie McEacheran A , Mary Newton Sally Palmer Sonya Peters Susan Reed Mary Ann Short Carroll Sutherland Sara Williams 21 J ' MRS.

A rainbow that arched to heaven's door, The drifted rain dienched clouds will cleave And countless treasures there outpour Where mortal eyes cannot perceive. And autumn trees against a sky Of azure blue a sight beheld By eyes that do not question why The world was made, but only hold In fond embrace the picture clear That God has painted for his world. The rose that wakening sheds a tear Upon the blades of grass unfurled By morning s sweet refreshing breath, Is beauty ln its iarest light, And beautiful yet unto death When hidden by the starry night. All this and more we say is beauty . . . Is wisdom not as beautiful? y Wisdom is grace In thy small ways and little graces. I see the wisdom in thine eyes And in thy wondering, loving faces. The graciousness of man and maid Who smile and calm each other's fears- Together down life s pathway fade Wrapped in the wisdom of their years. The Joy of giving hes with those Who graciously can give and bless- The door of selfishness, thus closeg Wisdom then is graciousness. Wisdom IS the voice of God That whispers to the listening ear Of one who w1ll through darkness plod And lift his head the voice to hear. And what is lovelier than to know The music of our Father's word . . . The ageless gifts he does bestow Of patlence, love . Oh, to have heard! Thus lovely wisdom is our rod . . . Those who are truly wise see God.

I am the infantry man and the pilot, I am an officer and a private. I remember a pretty blonde in Los Angeles, And an Italian wife in New York. I remember my daughter Hilda in Michigan, And little Juan in Arizona, My parents in the mansion on the hill, And the little black brother In the slums of Chicago. I remember the easy drawl of the Houston Recruiting officer, and endless lines At the induction center in Seattle. Waving fields of wheat in Kansas, And the fragrance of Florida citrus groves I remember, too. And I remember the haunting voice of the cantor, The quiet tinkling of mass bells, and the Clean, white spire of the Lutheran Church. I remember the bombing of Nuremberg and The bloody shores of Guadalcanal, The invasion of France and a plane Crashing into Manila Bay, And the vicious planes dealing death over Pearl Harbor. All these I remember-and many more. Here, at last, I have come to rest, Here I have found light after darkness. I Many of my family of millions Come to me here. Above glows a flame that never dies, A flame of my countryis remembrance. I have lived in many nationalities, But died an American.

SARAH MACRAE, Class 12 0142: fnwmlfaina Mountains surround us, Lakes,sleep placidly, Majestic and stately, Reflecting the heights above, Protective guardians of our valley, Disturbed only by the playful mountain fish, Breaking the wind, blocking the storm. Leaping gracefully-free. Snow falls upon their slopes, High above jagged rocks protrude, Clean and soft, Sharp and hazardous, Untouchable in its beauty, Contradicting the soft beauty, Blanketing the deathbed of summer's greenness. Iced with death for one false move. The trees are a network of delicacy, Glistening perfection through a winter mist, Softly whispering, Our mountains challenge-inspire. Wondering at the silvered ghosts Standing cold and sterile in the fresh, clear air. RUTH ANN WOOD, Class 12 QA. 571. How bold among jagged cliffs and titanic walls soars the eagle! Etched against a snow-crowned purple and endless blue- Plummeting into 111ist-clad valleys, and disappearing into a thick, green fog of trees . . . Triumphant, climbing once more above the mist To infinite solitude between the ramparts and the sun. SHEILA WEIBERT, Class 12 34 66 . . , .

Hannah, Elizabeth Blanchard McCulloh,s parents came across the prairies by covered wagon with Brigham Young and settled in Logan, Utah, where Hannah was the first white child born. Her mother's was the first grave in this new settlement. At the age of fourteen Hannah married an older man, who owned an overland freight com- pany which ran from Utah to Montana, and by the age of eighteen she had two fine sons. The toes of her shoes were stuffed with tissue paper to make them fit snugly on her tiny feet. To appear taller Sl1C carried herself proud and erect. One might have seen her rattling over the bumpy roads in a hot, dusty stagecoach, with bandits in pursuit. Her husband forbade her to wear her jewelry because of the many stagecoach robberies. Once her neck scarf caught in the wheel and went round and round and dragged her down, choking, until the driver rescued her. Her husband was taken prisoner by the Indians and Hannah showed her understanding of them when she had to bargain for his release. This little pioneer lady, still fit for adventure at the age of ninety-two, rode in a truck from Montana to her birthplace in Utah and flew home in a modern-age airplane. Truly, her inches set no limit for her courage. CARROLL SUTHERLAND, Class 11 sgfeflwfz. .WZ jew I'm not too interested in weddings-yet, be- sides, some people seem to think women make too big a fuss over them. The groom of the wedding I recall surmised that women made a mountain out of a mole hill. As I am more or less related to the groom-I'm his sister-I had to sympathize with him. I think marriage is a big step for a girl to take and if she wants a big wedding, she has probably worked for it. Personally, the bigger the wedding got, the more I thought my heart would jump out of my mouth. You see, I was going to be a bridesmaid and wear a yellow dress of antique satin, a little juliet cap, and carry a bouquet of flowers. But that's beside the point. What I wanted to say was that this started out to be a small church wedding with just the two immediate families. Somehow the bride's imme- diate family grew to include a hundred, so the groom's had to grow too. So said Mother. I, not being interested in weddings yet, wouldn't know. As the guest list grew, the wedding party also grew, and more bridesmaids and, ushers were added. This wedding started out to be informal, but that, too, changed. Even Daddy had to sprout a white coat and, as I recall, both dads were quite put out about having to do that. They talked about revolting, but after Mother talked to Dad alone he seemed to like the idea. Strange. So much happened so fast, it still is a little hazy to me. There were dress fittings and bridal show- ers, and general goings on. I'm certainly glad I was on the groomls side, what with all the ex- penses and details the bride's parents had to take care of. Not that we were idle, we helped all we could with the preparations. At night, Mother and Dad did a lot of talking of how young the bride and groom were to be getting married. But I suppose parents always say that. Dad said he was glad that he had only one girl to marry off. I guess he meant me, but, as I said before, I'm not interested in this marrying stuff. Frankly, I don't like boys. They're nice to you only when they want you to do their homework and the rest of the time they're pests. All except .lim-but he's different. The evening of the wedding came at last. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and candles. Some women were crying. The bride was nervous and the little boy who carried the ring on the pillow kept balancing the pillow on his head to impress the little flower girl. When the music started I wondered if I was going to make it down the l-o-n-g aisle--but I did. Then I relaxed somewhat and watched the rest of the procession. I glanced at my brother, look- ing so strong and straight, but he had eyes only for his beautiful bride, who seemed to float down the aisle. Well, that's about all there was to it. They were married in the presence of God, with the blessing of everyone. There were over two hun- dred twenty-five guests, and after the ceremony there was a reception. By the way, just one more thing: If I ever get married, not saying that I shall, but if I do, it's going to be a small church wedding with just the 'immediate families.

Under capable direction of Miss Myrtle Borsheim the play was a tremendous success, 38 GLEE CLUB Under the leadership of Mr. Peter Hallock, its new director, the Glee Club has contributed to the pleasure of Saint Nicholas students and patrons, as well as to that of groups outside the school. The singers provided musical background for the Christmas Pageant, later leading the audience in carols. In December they also presented a program of Christmas songs for the Seattle Garden Club at the Art Museum. Thus the club has made its con- tribution to the records of the organization's Scrapbook, in which are found clippings, pictures, and souvenirs of its many. performances through the years. The officers for 1953-54 have been Sheila Weibert, president, Eleanor Jordan, role officer, Patsy Palmer, librarian. PAGEA T Saint Nicholas celebrated its forty-third birthday this year on December sev- enteenth. The traditional birthday cakes were again a colorful part of the ceremony. The Pageant, The Nativity, included for the first time girls not only from the Senior class but also from the Junior and Sophomore classes. .lane McVay portrayed the Virgin Mary. Mary Hornby and Joyce Pankratz, Sophomores, were the readers. 39 UNIOR PROM The Junior Prom, honoring the Seniors, was held at the Seattle Tennis Club January thirtieth. The Junior girls and their mothers planned the decora- tions in accordance with a Valentine theme, transforming the ballroom into a romantic setting by means of ruffled hearts and red and white balloons. Many attended the no-host dinner in the private dining room before dancing to the music of Bob Marshall. Members of both classes won prizes for the spot and elimination dances. Parties given by Susan Reed and Sarah MacRae brought the gala evening to a close. 40 CH MPIO HIP TE M Awarded to the Junior girl who is outstanding in athletics both in abil- ity and cooperation, the S pin this year was given to Carol Landon.
