Scholastic llli Reception of Graduates into Sisters of Mercy Order Many persons in Phillipsburg journeyed to Plainfield to witness a most beautiful and most impressive ceremony. It was the Reception Day for three of St. Philip and St. James' graduates, Elizabeth O'Hearn '32, Regina Smith '35, and Kathryn Gaghan '38 who are now known in religion as Sister Mary Philip, Sister Mary Incarnata, and Sister Mary Bartholomew, respectively. As students these girls were untiring and loyal. They were remarkable in dramatics, music, and scholastic achievements. We miss their friendly faces and their hearty laughter for they so enjoyed school life. We feel that they will I carry this spirit with them, spreading happiness to many persons in their new vocation. We extend to them and their parents our heart-felt congratulations. May others be inspired by their example and bring great honor to their class. C FOlTY'THlll

1939 Brother Borgia, C. F. X. If you have succeeded in putting one truth into circulation or demolishing one falsehood, y0u'ue done a good days work. Brother Borgia C. F. X., known to his schoolmates and friends in Phillips- burg as Bernard Coley was called by God to serve Him in the spiritual life. After graduation he entered the Christian Brotherhood at the Sacred Heart Novitiatc in Fortress Monroe, Virginia. Brother Borgia will continue studying his schol- astic Work at Catholic University in Washington, D. C. During his school days he was Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book and is credited by his colleagues as doing an immense amount of work to make The Scholastic the success it was that year. To all his underclassmen he was known as the Major Bowes of St. Philip and St. James' School for having sponsored the Amateur Hours which were enjoyed by everyone who heard them. Since he has entered the Holy Life of Christ, we expect him to attain loftier heights, not only by being an assistant operator but to be a great pilot in the squadron of Christ's Army.
