The ,Scholastic fa THE CROWNING The beautiful edifice of St. Phi-lip and James' Church was filled to capacity on the evening of May Seventeenth when the impressive cere- mony, the crowning of the statue of the Blessed Mother took place. The honor of crowning Our Blessed Lady was given to Miss Kathleen Breiner. Her attendants were the Misses Virginia Ewadinger, Sarah Condon and Steffa Stanievioh. Eight Senior girls acted as bridesmaids. The Junior girls carried arches and formed an archway during the crowning ceremony. Others taking part were the Sophomore and Freshmen girls. The little Crownbearer was Regina Franco. The four small flower girls were Nancy I. Lilly. Jean Moule. Elizabeth Boyle and Claire E. Gon. During the crowning ceremony the lights were dimmed, making a beautiful picture, while the lights about the Blessed Mother were glowing: Sixty-six girls were received into the Sodality of Mary. Dorothy Smith, Vice-President of the Sodality graciously and religiously enjoyed the 'honor of helping the priest invest the new members. Father Sheridan, the speaker of the evening gave a beautiful sermon on the Blessed Virgin. Surely as Our Blessed Mother looked down on us that night, she was pleased to see the wonder- ful tribute her children paid her, and how many were anxious to be under her protection. SERAPHINA MERLO. DROP TI-FE EXCESS BAGGAGE Most of us today are carrying excess baggage, meaning that we are doing many unnecessary things. Many of our efforts are superficial, our objectives obscure, and therefore our -line of action, if any, lacks directness and meaning. Most of us talk too much, eat too much, worry too much, and go around in circles instead of in a straight path. If we planned our work, then our plan we would go farther ahead in every department of life. We say a man is a great organizer because he gets so much done and because his results are astonishingly successful. As a general rule, suc'h a man merely works by method, making every move count, avoiding repe- tition and duplications, and thereby creates a demand for :his services of his output. We need to get down to basic principles, the simplicities of life that are sound and true, as well as enduring. Feeding on sugar coated deli- cacies does not satisfy hunger of mind and soul. Let us, the graduating class, not take on a oargo that will hold us back in life, let us adopt methods that are superfluous. Doing what life requires, and paying the price for success, will bring what is desired, provided our desires are what they should be. MARY RITA MCNULTY ST.PHlLlP AND ST.

Tt'F ' -------fx C6712 ,scholaitic fi The cflthletic Qlssociation., Due to the generosity of the men of the parish a new athletic associa- tion was organized in order to meet the expenses which are so necessary for successful athletics. Before this association was organized Rev. Father Charles Long who was in charge of backing the teams worked might and main to meet expenses. VV hen Father agreed to take this posi- TIOI1 the funds were very low and there were many debts to be paid, how- ever l1ke a soldier going to war Father went about his work without a word and accomplished very much. With the help of Francis Murphy, one of our alunmi, who at present is our At'hletic Director, it was possible for Father to keep Parochial's name in the field of sport. Yet more help is necessary. The new association, which is composed of men of the parish, hopes to a1d this great -work. It is the wish of the members to equip our school teams with the very best materials. In endeavoring to do this it is neces- sarv for them to have the help of every one of the parish. This associa- tion was organized only two weeks when they went to the trouble of chang- ing our school colors hack to what it was when the school was First estab- lished Green and White. They inquired of every member of the high school as to their opinion of the matter before they acted on it. We appreciate this consideration and backed them up one hundred per cent. In closing, we, the members of the Senior Class of St. Philip and St. James High School, wish to thank Fat'her Long from the bottom of our hearts for helping the teams during the years which the members of our class participated. We hope to always back up this wonderful group of parlshloners who are doing so much, and hope to do even more for dear old Parochial. WALTER KENYON, P. P. H. S., 'cr 5 .
