There is some pathos in giving a parting message to those who for years have been the objects of much care and solicitude. LiAllegro so ine stinct with the joyousness of life has little patience with the slow philosophising of 11 Penseroso, At your age there is perhaps nothing to which you are so keenly alive as to your sense of freedom. It is your priceless treasure and you are rightly resentful 0f the slightest encroachment on its possession. Freedom implies liberty of choice. You rejoice as never before in this liberty by which God has ennobled human nature. And yet there is a limit within which this freedom is exercised and you do not resent the restriction. It is not within your power to choose unhappiness. Man may err frightfully in choosing what he believes to be happiness, but whether true or false, the innate desire of his heart is happiness. All his restless striving is toward this goal. Apropos to your theme let this fundamental truth be your sign post. Carlyle made a striking statement which embodied the wisdom of his old age. He had learnt lifeis great lesson which I pass on to you as my parting message. It is as follows: WThe older I grow, and I now stand at the brink of eternity, the more comes back to me the sentence in my catechism which I learnt when a boy, and the fuller and deeper becomes its meaning. iWhy are we on earth? To know God, to love Him and to be happy with Him forever in eternity? i This is the only way that leads to happiness. There is no other, and fortunate are you, who begin life with this conviction. MOTHER M. IMELDA Page sixteen SCHOLASTICAN1931 WW 'Ew?iiip'i'i'wiWemi ' i'l Vi iii 1 i t '1 l I ADMINISTRATION The establishment of the Junior High School marks a noteworthy step in the scholastic career of St. Scholastica. To meet the added requirements of this branch Of learning, the faculty was necessarily increased. Additional classrooms and lab oratories were opened on the third floor. During the course of the year, both the senior and junior high sections were entere tained by prominent lecturers and speakers, welleknown in various vocational helds. These aids in the choice of a suitable vocation were in conjunction with the thorough study of careers and vocations undertaken by the junior high branch. At assemblies for both junior and senior sections held each Wednesday, interesting and educational talks were presented about journalism, library work, home economics, advertising and social work. Ventures in creative dramatics, undertaken by the junior high school were es pecially clever. Interesting phases in history, literature, French, Latin, social science and even mathematics were vividly portrayed. Enlarging upon the scope of its curricular activities, S. S. S. introduced classes in publicspeaking under the direction of Mr. William Conley. Through the med, ium of these educational meetings each girl was permitted to display her oratorical talents. In the meetings of the debating society, students were allowed to test and to develop their oratorical powers. It has been due to the guidance and untiring efforts of Sister Cecilia that St. Scholastica has taken such strides both educationally and socially in the past year. She has set a goal for the students and by her kindly encouragement has aided them in the attainment of this goal. At the Close of this very successful year, filled with happy memories and worth while undertakings, we breathe a blissful sigh of contentment and await eagerly the coming year in which to try our skill and attempt many new ventures.

It seems a long time, especially if you tear these years into hours, hours of Latin, history, French, and English. Why, do you realize that we,ve helped Caesar build his bridge, struggled over amateur poetry, hetudions frangaish; not to mention thangling'h through geometry, cram! ming algebra, botany, and numerous other subjects? However, wehve done other things besides working In! deed, yes. Who doesnat remember the 33hot dog 1',oasts tr1ps to the Aquarlum after school part1es? And then there were the games between the classes, in basket ball, hockey, and all the popular sports. Of course we became very much more dignified and serious when we entertained the seniors at the end of the year. This was the big event in the junior yeargpresiding at a memore able party for our sisters who were about to leave. IMore than any other we have Sister Alcuin to thank for the happy hours we spent in the last year She has lent a help 1mg hand to every plan and has joined 111 every good time. So our jumor class could be summed up thus: we ve worked, weave played, weave entertained-in short weave en' joyed and made the most of every moment of our existence. MARY JANE CULLEN, v32.

FREEDOM Weary of walls, I have fled to the open moorland, Tired of books, I have sought the sky and sea, Rough, brown moor, blue ocean, measureless heavens-- These I have longed for, these will companion me.

Here I can shout, and the romping waves reply; Free as the billows that break on battered Iedges- Only the .gulls, the wind on the moor, and I. y K EUNICE FORDE, 32.

Say, Helen, where did you get that marvelous coat of tan? Been doing a lot of swimming this summer.7H No, this wasnt a wild scramble at the Grand Central Star tion but a scene at our own St. Scholastica when on Septeme ber 10 the iifreshiesii 0f the year before returned as SOphO' mores, bounding with joy at the sight of the 01d familiar faces. That word Sophomores made us realize we had big things to accomplish in the year that stretched before us. Itis been a full year. Our debut into the social world took place at a welcoming tea'dance given for the freshmen. We did our best to make them feel at home in their new role of high school students. At Christmas we had an adventure to some poor families down on Chicagois lower west side. In the held of athletics the sophomores captured the proud title of runnerrup in both hockey and basketball tournaments, and itis well known that in aquatic sports we iisophsi have always scored heavily. And now the year, with its work and fun, its joys and successes has come to an end. A great share of the happiness we have experienced has been due to Sister Aloysia who has stood by us in all our undertakings and helped to make them what they were. To her, we, the graduates of 17:3 extend our heartiest thanks. BETTY NEIL, 33.

In the long train there are two car'loads of young passengers, the inhabitants of Sophomoreville, known as Sophomores. What a crowd of happyelooking passengers they are, full of vim and vigor. They watch carefully as they are shown how to manage only useful articles. Their enthusiasm has led them to accom' plish many things on the journey Here is the star athlete and there are the musicians. With charming refrains the pianists and Violinists have gladly entertained the tired tfaV' elers. Neither must be forgotten the twinrartists nor the aspiring journalists. If it were not for Sister Anastasia, their conductor on this trip, the little train of sophomores would be rather boisterous, but with her kind and gentle help, each traveler is happily learning the work at hand. At the rate the train seems to be moving it will soon are rive at Juniorville. Then, only a few more miles to the long sought goal, their graduationeand the Land of Achievement is theirs. , DIONYSIA DI LE0, '5 33.

LUNAls DESIRE My woes are many, sad, and long diverse For centuries of time, and thought, and strife, From in my heavens high above at night, I sat and pondered 0n the universe Why some below me always do converse With their true loves beneath my shining light; While other men my splendor does afright, And to my blinding beauty are averse. I am a gift of God, the Lord of all, Who gave me to the sky to light and please The heavlns and earth with all their harmonies, Which, by their beauty, all men do enthrall. I wish for mutual love atwixt Earth and me, As long as I look down on land and sea. RUTH HAzLE, I Page thirtyerve SCHOLASTICAN1931 $i$x r ::3 xx xxxK Nhf'. NxhXR l rnk. 4XK7K; J hp. 4 4 ' 4111 M. J.

The crisis is expected While on the First Crusade With Godfrey of Bouillon. If the opportunity arises for a few momenth rest and for some real nourishment, dangers may be averted. You are again greeted by radio station WMWW We are now on the road to a speedy recovery. We gained considerable strength at a thrilling basketball tournament to' day. We are now visiting the Forest of Arden, Where we expect to improve greatly. Station Work, Work, Work, again Broadcasting. A pleasant picnic is being enjoyed by all.

Treasurer The whisper of soft music, an act of consecration, a pure white rose in offering, and the most beautiful day in the life of every Sodalist is solemnized. This scene on the eighth of December is the very symbole ism 0f the ideals of the Sodality which stands for devotion and loyalty to Mary, the Queen of Mothers. The new member begins her life in the Sodality as she enters the chapel. Humbly beseeching her Holy Mother to aid her as she walks along lifets highway, she receives her Lord in the Eucharist. A sudden change of scene and we see the Sodalists in the dining room partaking of a delicious breakfast. Through the words of Father Donnelly, Mother Imelda, and the prefect of the Sodality, the new members truly realize and appreCr iate the honor about to be conferred upon them. A solemn march to the Chapel, a prayer for assistance, and the Socialist consecrates herself to all the ideals of her Pro; tector, Mary.

MANSKE SCHOLASTICAN1931 rwm u z s is STUDENT SPIRITUAL COUNCIL COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES Upon seeing a most attractive poster, lustily proclaiming LIThe Other Twin is Found! Hear about Her at the Sodality Meeting, Wednesday, I became intensely interested. After making my way rapidly down the corridor, I reached Room 100, where a breathtaking sight greeted my eyes. Three members of that now famous Publicity Committee were feverishly working on some posters equally as attractive as the one on the bulletin board. Since I had learned something of the meaning of the poster, I went in search of a few members of the Literary Section. I found them deeply engrossed in ac, quiring an English accent. During a pause for breath Ruth Hazle, the chairman, who was acting as dramatic director, told me just what was taking place. The success of the debate on modern Catholic authors and their works being evident, the Literary Committee was now undertaking the dramatization of a scene from Lucille BordenIs From Out MagdalaII, further to arouse the interest of the Sodalists in Catholic literature. The committee members proved themselves possessors of surr prising dramatic ability in this presentation. As I again passed the bulletin board, I noticed a'small but impressive poster which read IIAttend Mass Tomorrow. I realized that this expressed the- main objeetive 0f the Eucharistic Section. IILive the LiturgyII, our last years slogan, was again brought to life by this committee. To keep liturgy ever present in the minds of the Sodalists the committee published articles in the sodality paper IIOyez . In order to live actually in the spirit of the liturgy many of the girls attended daily Mass and Communion. All this truly Catholic action was due to the efforts of our Eucharistic group and its hard'working chairman, Rose Hartmann. SCHOLASTICAN 1931 PUBLICITY COMMITTEE COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES As I was leaving, I met the chairman of the Mission Section diligently counting Lenten banks. She reminded me of the work of the committee at Christmas time. A drive for clothing for our mission at Delta, Colorado had been most successful. Then, too, there was the popularity contest, the most popular girl being determined by the number of penny votes. The Victor, Betty Neil, was crowned queen at a Mardi Gras which climaxed the committees activities. In addition to expressing their enthusiasm within the school, the Sodalists were 3.0 tive in the city organization, iICiscoraW Every one of the three meetings of the year was attended by a great number of delegates. They may have gone forth in the hope that they would witness at first hand one of the famed iifightsh that are staged regularly, but they soon listened with real interest to the accounts of the efforts of other schools in braille, catechetical work, mission aid, and countless other activities fostered by the Sodalities. As a result of the enthusiasm manifested, St. Scholastica was appointed chairman of a movie publicity committee. Its purpose is to preview pictures and send short critiques each week to the member schools. Although little could be accomv plished by the committee this year, the term to come holds determination of grand ideas to be realized. CATHERINE EIDEN, I31. SCHOLASTICAN1931 xxka xxx, on F Athletics BETTY V. BOYLE h l t There are a great many differences of opinion regarding the place of athletics for I girls of high school age. In the past the confusion has arisen in regard to the aim K t of physical education in general and athletics in particular. All are agreed that k physical education is not an end in itself; all are agreed that it aims higher than the k mere development of muscles, cut and dried calisthenics, and victorious teams. T0! k d3. we know that the ob'ectives of hysical education are the same as those of all i y . . . J .p . . - . . education which includes health, ethical tralnmg, hc1t1zensh1p, and the worthy use of leisure. - Girlsl athletics can be so organized that it will accomplish these ends. First comes t; health. Health is the outcome of two factors: the kind of body with which we : were born, and the care we take of it. A well balanced program of physical educa' E tion makes strong the frail body and helps to keep fit the healthy body. x Athletic helds are great laboratories for the development of selfrcontrol, loyalty, honesty, cooperation, and sportsmanship, all of which tend to make a good citizen. Athletics, to be of real value, must be for all. Shall a team or a group already physically strong, be trained to excellency, or shall all be trained to moderate accomi plishment? Every season each girl in high school should be a participant in some sport event. Saint Scholastica, with its splendidly equipped gymnasium, its natatorium, its tennis courts, its athletic and hockey helds, together with its carefully planned pro, gram Offers opportunity for every girl to develop into a healthy, happy, and honor able citizen of which any nation might well be proud.

CATHERINE AYLWARD Treaswrer MARIAN WEBER To find a club from which emanates more lively interest and enthusiasm would be a difficult task. Its purpose is to ' make the members healthier and happier, uto set the cause above renown, to love the game above the prize? It sounds like a rather exalted ideal, but somehow it seems to have been attained, The tournament games make us healthier, the trophies, happier, and Miss Boyle, the popular athletic dir rector, gives us a worthy example of good sportsmanship. Frequent Thget'togethersh throughout the year have afforded the necessary social interest. We remember one frosty day in January when fifty girlish adventurers fared forth on a treasure hunt. Cheeks were rosy that day and appetites keen. We remember also the spring party at which the seniors, victorious in both hockey and basketball tournaments, were feted as guests of honor. The poor girls were almost weighed down under the burden of their silver balls. TTTO the victors belong the spoils! The Athletic Club is now four years old.

For upon the opening of the fall term this year, athletics was renewed with an energy betokening long vacations. The hockey field was literally besieged by enthusiastic athletes, anxious to grasp a stick again and htake a sockh at the ball. Under a sweltering midrafternoon sun the first hockey game of the season was played. After weeks of diligent practice, class teams were chosen. All interest now centered around the forthcoming tourna' ment. The first games, played between the freshmen and seniors, furnished plenty of thrills and exciting moments. Although the freshmen put up an excellent flght, the victory went to the seniors, who were superior in skill and experience. Junior pride was taken down quite a peg by the victorious sophomores in a game which proved wildly exciting. The seniorrsophomore game was a thrilling battle between two wellvmatched teams. However, the experienced seniors were again Victorious. The season closed with the awarding of honors, a small silver ball, to each member of the champion! ship team. MARION WEBER, a33.

The first game was played between the sophomores and juniors, the 6 former upholding the honor of their class by a 20,12 victory. The second contest between the freshmen and seniors proved a decided triumph for the upper classmen. 3 In the opening game on the second day of the tournament, the juniors skill proved to be more than the valiant freshmen could cope with. After that contest we be; held a game that was a game. The sophomore'senior clash was one of, the best of the tournament. The sturdy sophomores made the seniors play hard for their final victory. ' The fast game held between the undefeated seniors and the juniors resulted in a triumph for the seniors. Each member of the winning team was given a miniature silver basketball to add to the hockey trophy won in the previous tournament. The seniors, as champions, played the alumnae on March 14, in a truly brilliant and breathtaking game. This match brought the basketball season to a close. CECILE BERTRAND, T32.

If so, we recommend volley ball, now one of the popular t sports of the school. Time was when the speedy little game was one of our greatest annoyances, when our athletes had to be coaxed to participate in practice after school. But now not one but two nets are needed to accommodate the players. The credit goes to Miss Boyle, who presented volley ball to us with a complete new set of rules, which we found to our great satisfaction to be pleasantly flexible. TTKeep it up? bplay your positions,H hTthath our pointn are exclamations free ' quently heard during the course of a contest. One is fascinated by the clever net play so difhcult to execute, and amused when some strong arm serves a ball, that in its endeavor'to go places, bounces against the ceiling. The game is entertaining even to those who dont understand it, for the play is obvious, quite innocent of htrick passes. Volley ball season began in March. Class and afterrschool practise built up strong, swift teams of players who engaged in an exciting Round Robin tourney, run off on play day. The six games were hotly contested. Every team showed excellent ability, skill, team spirit and sportsmanship. Most of the victories were won by a Close margin. The juniors demonstrated their athletic ability by winning the final game from the seniors.

The scene was a veritable Sells Floto with its neverrceasing action, its stunts going on in various parts of the held.

Enthusiasm never waned and spirits soared joyously with the carer freeness of happy hearts. Tennis displayed excellent prospects of future stars in the welleplayed matches. Cecile Bertrand was winner of the tennis tournament. Spectators and players were ushered through a grand period of hilarity and gay laughter, while gazing upon the most unique events of the day, the informal races. 'There were costume relays, with all their red'hot excitement, sack races, potato races, and clever stunts. Quality and quantity were eagerly exhibited in the perfectly formed pyramids and in the beautiful drill work.

No time wais too precious, n0 sacrifice too great to contribute to the success of the annual. The staff of 1931 Wished to depart from the solemn spirit of the two previous years. They wanted their book to represent in its art, its write'ups, its very essence, some of the joy and happiness that the quickly passing days of school had held for them. And so through the book runs the lilting mirth 0f Miltorfs 11L1Allegr07 Graceful nymphs and dryads dance across the pages; lazy, drifting clouds hang over a spring'drenched wood.

Circulation Manager The year 1931 which marked the third birthday of our beloved Raven was also a new era of development and out standing achievement for this, our llpet: publication? We take an immense pride, which is pardonable we hope, in accepting the praise and recognition accorded to us not only by our own faculty and students, but also by other Catholic schools. Perhaps we received most of this because of the unique and eiiicacious plan of organization which has been put into practice this year. At the beginning of the school term the student body expressed its desire that our paper he not only a news sheet, but also a source to which aspiring litterateurs might carry their efforts, and from which they might expect recognition. And so with this end in view We decided to have no flxed staff of reporters but instead recognize every student as a potential contributor. Through the adoption of this policy the work of a great number of students was represented. In order to promote the cheerful and thoroughly natural tone which the paper has always maintained, that jolly little column BIRDSEED was retained, and CAMPUS CHATTER and ON THE WING were added. Helen Barry, our stall artist, made some attractive cuts to head these columns. Stu, dents who wished to voice their opinions on extracurricular activities have been given this opportunity through THE Page hfty'two SCHOLASTICAN1931 RAVEN STAFF AT WORK K 7 MONTHLY PUBLICATION i1 VOICE OF THE STUDENTS. Our old standby, the INQUIRING REPORTER , was impersonated this year by Rose Hartmanni FLEDGLINGS has reported in a lively style the happenings in the first and second year junior high, and approaching events have been entertainingly foretold by Lois Ziska in the CALENDAR. Lois has also, in a true iiBetteroedii manner, kept a chatty diary of assembly periods. One of the innovations of this year which seems to have been particularly relished It by hungry'eyed readers is the column headed INTRODUCING in which a different I, senior is presented to our iiwaiting worldi' each month. j These engaging features, together with the admirable editorials of Marie Hoffman, and lively news stories of school happenings make up the paper. N0 little part of our fame has been achieved through the eEorts of Marie Bushr nell and Frances Rockelman, exchange editors, who consistently kept us astride of foreign fields, and Jane Billyeald, whose subscriptions and candy sale helped keep the treasury in a healthy condition throughout the year. The editors wish to express their appreciation of the splendid spirit shown by the staff members and extend hearty thanks to the entire student body who by their whole hearted cooperation have helped make the Raven a true reflection of the many aspects of student life at St. Scholastica. , q; IxJ JANE SPALDING, SCHOLASTICAN CATHERINE OWBOYLE OYEZ For about a year Oyez has been to us a guidance in our spiritual life. Its pup pose is liturgical and its numerous articles contain discussions on every phase of the liturgy. By means of this mimeographed paper a fuller appreciation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is given to its readers. Through its columns we learn more of the meaning behind the Church liturgy and ceremonies. How many really come prehend the true meaning of the Mass of the Catechumens or the Mass of the Faithful? This has all been explained in Oyez. We have also learned why we should partake of the Banquet prepared for usethat is, why we should receive Holy Communion when we attend Mass, what we should do during the holy season of Lent, the true beauty of the lives of Gods holy men and women, the saints, and many other fundamental things that we as Catholics ought to know. The little organ serves as an indispensable help toward the success of the various committees of the Sodality, for in its sheets they may publish any ideas they desire to convey to their fellowstudents. It is through the capable leadership of the editorrinrchief, Catherine OiBoyle, and the generous contributions of students that Oyez puts in its appearance every two weeks of the school year. All of the articles are noteworthy in their simplicity of style and in their sincere endeavor. Like Punchinello of old, Oyez, which means Hear Ye, cries out to be heard. And its many readers will, with one accord, bear witness to the fact that it is well worth the reading. MARGARET ANDERSON, 32.

Talks have been given and to stimulate interest in certain books, scenes from them have been dramatized. Sister Claudia has been very patient amidst the stampede of eager readers who have witnessed these dramatizations.

The Little OEce 0f the Blessed Virgin has been faithfully recited every Friday morning with perfect attendance. Durl ing May frequent devotions have been held at the Grotto, and Maryls altars have been decked with beautiful flowers in her honor. All these efforts and successes have been accomplished under the watchful eye of our Blessed Mother, the patroness of the Sodality.

Page hfty'six Arts Dmmatics JEAN WEISENHORN WACHTEL tm xxklxhk liThe play s the thing? The study Of the drama, even in its simplest form, is full of fascination and value. It stimulates the fun of makeebelieve and provides an escape from the humedrum 0f the here and now to the land of adventure. A sincere appreciation of the acted play increases a love for all the arts, since they are so closely united in it. One immediately thinks of the literature in a truly fine play; but also, there is music from beginning to end, in the rhythm and tempo, in the beautiful tones of a lovely speaking voice and in the sounds of words. xxxh Dw-th ' The plastic and static arts have their influence in the grace of an arrested move ment and the balance of a pleasing group. There is the poetry of color as well as the poetry of literature. To discover its significance and its effectiveness in establ lishing mood and atmosphere is an intriguing experiment. The finest quality in the study of the drama is the analysis of character and the complex phases of our existence. One cannot know, play, and live a role without increasing his capacity for tolerance and understanding of human nature. He learns that no part is insignificant. Thus dramatic courses not only stimulate a desire to acquire more knowledge of the Fine Arts, but above all, develop a keener sympathy and finer appreciation for ,all who play in the great drama of life.

Imagine your glee when you see a small tricycle peddled into court by a king, and think how dis, gusted you would be if you could not recognize a truly beautiful emerald when you These were a few of the intriguing incidents which took place in the clever play, Kings m Nomam'a, presented on the evening of December twenty! second by the lower classmen. The play evolves around an incident in the life of Yancut a poor bootblack, pore trayed by Rosemary Rudersdorf. A young lieutenant offers Yancu a piece of luminous green glass. The youth, unable to pay his rent, gives Snigran, the land, lord the llgreen glass. The covetous landlord recognizes the Hglass as the stolen emerald 0f the king for which a considerable reward has been offered. Eager for the reward the avaricious scoundrel succeeds in casting the innocent lad into jail Where he is sentenced to death. By a strange coincidence the boyrking, Frances Lapp, becomes intensely interested in the functions of Yanculs llgangfl So fascinated is the king that he decrees Yancu judge of the kingdom. The miserly landlord, so excellently characterized by Helen Stringer, is deservedly punished, and the play terminates with a happy scene, when Yancu, the new judge of the kingdom, wisely exclaims: It isnlt what you wear on your head that makes you a King. you have in your heart that makes you a King, and if we only knew it we should all of us, all of us, be Kings indeed!

SCHOLASTICAN1931 THE CHERRY BOUGH Several days before the Christmas holidays a cast selected from the entire high school offered to an admiring audience the first presentation of The Chewy Bough, which had ever been given in America. This delightful oneeact play is based upon an old Irish legend concerning the birth of Christ. The plot is centered about the quest for the Blessed Mother by St. Bride of Ireland, who has dreamed that a woman needs her help at the birth of her Child. St. Brideas search takes her into far distant lands. As she travels she meets a Chaldean woman, a woman of Beth1ehem, and a small lad from the Inn. Each had refused the Blessed Mother the gift that she begged, some cherries. or perhaps some water. Carrying those offerings, they are now seeking her, whose sorrowful face has haunted them after she passed. The fragrant cherry bough in the hand of the Chaldean woman gives the play its name. To escape an approaching robber band which is searching out a rumored Infant King and His supposed caravan, St. Bride hides in a cave nearby, where her quest ends with the discovery of Mary and Joseph. The play concludes with a picture5r que tableau; villagers carol, and all, even the fierce robbers, bow in hushed reverence before the Babe in the manger. Every role was portrayed with exceptional ability, especially that of St. Bride as interpreted by Harriet Lichtenberger, Dorothy Messenger as the Chaldean woman, and Ruth Heinz as the woman of Bethlehem. To Mrs. Wachtel, the dramatic director, can be attributed the artistic success of this play.

It was called The Swatter Fly Case, wasnTt it? Sounds like a murder mystery? Thatls just what it was. The freshmen B division wrote it and worked most of it out in pantomime. Instead of regular conversation they used aIbIci, language. iTll tell you the plot. The curtain rose on a crowd of people assembled at a house party. They were sitting in a drawing room fanning themselves with the queerest objects such as shoes, roses, and fly swatters. Presently all but Mr. Van Alpha, the host, left the room. He was sitting leisurely sipping a glass of water, when a man with a masked face and a cap pulled over one eye walked slowly into the. room. He demanded the glass of water. When Mr. Van Alpha refused, the visitor picked up a fly swatter and murdered him? lth, poor Mr. Van Alphalll ilThen the murderer took off his mask, and who should it be but Mr. Du Barry, one of the guests. He sat down and drank the water. The maid came in and when she saw what had happened she screamed, and the rest of the guests rushed in? ilWhat happened then? llYou couldnTt guess. Mrs. Van Alpha, ignorant, of course, of the real crime inal, appointed the murderer as detective. He questioned all the guests and finally said, liIXryIzT which meant sI killed him., Now, what do you think of that? TESounds rather queer to me, as if they all belonged in the insane asylum? llThatls just where they did belong. The play ended with the guards coming in to take the patients to their rooms? ROSEMARY RUDERSDORF, l344 SCHOLASTICAN 1931 CREATIVE DRAMAT'ICS There have been many successful ventures in creative dramatics during the past year. The object of this form of drama has been to make the ordinary curriculum act1v1t1es become a vital part of the students life. To start the ball rolling, the second year junior high pupils offered a bloodecurd' ling skit which revealed the horrible penalties of using bad grammar. As an added stimulus to Good Book Week the freshmen dramatized scenes from several of the most familiar books. Among them were Robin Hood, Daughters of the Manor, and Little Women. In order to show that language can figure in creative dramatics the junior French class presented an interessame scene contrasting Amer1can and French marriage banquets. The audience was on edge with excitement as well as being thoroughly entertained by the romantic b1111ng and cooing of the confused Don Juan in an 1nterpretat1on of The Ghost Story by Booth Tarkington adapted by the sophomores. Various vocations suited to young women were dramatized by the vocational guid' ance c1ass.Am0ng them were homermaking, journalism, interior decorating, social service, nursing, and teaching. In order to illustrate dress designing, the last scene showed an exclusive dress shop where the freshmen were gracefully modelling the newest creations. Enthusiasm and more enthusiasm marked the creative work staged by the Annual editor and the seniors. A model singing class accompanied the spirited gymnastics of the Athlet1c section. A riotous dramat1c interpretation was succeeded by a mock debate. We wanted advertisement and got it plus r0111ck1ng good humor. These creative dramatics are the results of the work of sundry classes who have tried scenario writing, directing, and acting. LILLIAN GRAFFT, 31. Page sixtyrone SCHOLASTICAN1931 xxx xvf xx; xx.

It would use every means possible to find the highest per sonal expression through the medium of the only universal languageesong. What are these means? Voices true as to pitch, daily rehearsals, devotion to ideals, a certain esprit de corps, a capable director. This is very simple and possible. Given these means, the most beautiful song literature would become the very bone and marrow of school culture and the world would not only clear the path to the institution harboring such a class, but would write, urging them to bring this art to entrance audiences both in their own country and abroad. To witness: St. Olafls glorious Choir, the famous Paulists, the amazing Prague Teachersi Chorus. How about a trip to Europe, girls? CECELIA RAY BERRY.

Secretary The Choral Club, consisting of members of the senior high school, had its harmonious ranks swelled this year by veterans of the music appreciation class, who now spend their time appreciating the sound of their own voices instead of the works of the master composers.

Again on December eighth, the solemn occasion of the Reception of new members into the Sodality, the Choral Club added much to the beauty of the ceremonies by their renditions of the iiMissa Rosa Mystica by Carnevali. The Choral Club did its part in making the Commencement in. June one of the most impressive in past years.

One day, shortly after the organie zation of the junior high school, a member of the faculty walked past an assembly containing a group of girls from the freshman class. As she passed, suddenly there were voices raised in girlish laughter. The laughter seemed so melodious and belleh'ke in its soprano quality teven though the girls were breaking rules and creating a disturbancet that she der cided the junior high must have a glee Club. And so it was organized. With loving care Miss Berry, the directress, has turned those sweet sopranos from giggling merr riment to harmonious song. The younger members of the high schoool department, moreover, have made wonderful progress. The pupils of the junior high have contributed their part to the Wednesday assembly programs. Then at the June Commencement, they joined their voices to those of the senior high Choral Club in the beautiful TTUnfold, Ye Portalsf, and TEAve Maria?

The Ensemble made its first appearance at the music recital given by members of the senior high school at the beginning of the year. It opened the program with the lively llMarchll by MoEat, and closed it with a com trasting rondo, nLe Petit Tambourfa from Freischutz. Those present at the various assembles were also delighted by the Ensemblels ren' ditions of the classic and ever popular llSelections from Operas? klAlla Marciall by Wolfermann, and llElfentanzll by Moffat. Because of the great success of their performance of last year at the senior play, the musicians were invited this year to play between the acts of the junior highls dramatizations. Again their performance proved artistic and pleasing. Then, amid the applause of all the guests present, the Ensemble made its final bow of the season at a recital given at the close of the school term. The musicians played a group of three numbers: WValsell by Fowler, llFantasiell by Sanger, and the melodious llSummer Fantasie by Schumann. MARION MULLIGAN, 3 1t SCHOLASTICAN1931 e 4ny s W771 K 11 F ovensics WILLIAM H. CONLEY The first year of debating at St. Scholastica has been a distinct success, in the true sense of the word. No other school has attempted as impressive a schedule, no other club has been more interested in furthering forensic art, no other team has been more willing to learn, more untiring in effort, more loyal to the school and student body it represented. The coach of a debating club is given only one opportunity in the course of the year to publicly congratulate those with whom he has worked. That opportunity comes with the publication of the school year book, so may I take this occasion to extend my heartiest congratulations to the members of the various teams and to those who in any way aided the activities of the club? In every debate those who participated were credits to themselves, to their teachers, and to their school. May the spirit of industry, of cooperation, of sportsmanship which permeated the club during the past year become a tradition which will be followed faithfully by all future debaters! May the activities of the past year be an inspiration for still greater success in the future! WILLIAM H. CONLEY.

The first meeting witnessed the election of officers and the defining 0f the purpose of the organization-ttto foster inv provement in debate among the students of St. Scholisticaf After mastering the fundamentals of debate under the experir enced tutelage of Mr. William Conley, debating coach, the clubrmembers held spirited discussions on questions of pending debates at practically every subsequent Tuesday gathering. Besides the four league debates of the past season the St. Scholastica debaters pitted themselves against the hitherto matchless wits of St. Ignatius on March 25, and of Loyola Academy on May 13. In the controversy With the first school, a junior team composed of Jane Lorenz, Jane Spalding, and Eleanor Quinlisk supported the negative of the question hResolved, That the emergence of women into public life is to be deplored? while the cause of polemics with Loyola was Resolved, That centralization of power in the United States is desirable.n Once more, the St. Scholastica debaters, Ruth Heinz, Jane Spalding, and Anita Cassidy, argued the negative.

A debating club was formed and a team composed of Marie Hoffmann, Marion Mulligan, Betty Lapp and Catherine OiBoyle began strenuous training. The team made its debut on the home ground on December 23, 1930. With Immaculata High School as their opponents they upheld the afhrmative of the reso' lution that iiChain stores are detrimental to the welfare of the American people. The question, one in which the whole country seems to be interested at the present time, made the encounter a lively one. Full of pep and vigor with the coming of the new year, the team journeyed to the west side on January 11, 1931. The second league debate took place at Siena High School when our girls for the hrst time battled on a foreign field. In this encounter they defended the negative side of the aforementioned question. Once again, with success, St. Scholastica voiced her opposition to the chain store movement. On their home ground the team met Visitation High School on Februi ary 22, 1931, in the third debate of the year. The league season closed on March 20 with the now experienced team traveling to the south side to meet St. Xavieris Academy. The chain store question had by this time gained much prominence in the league, and the unearthing of many new arguments was an interesting feature of this last debate. CATHERINE OiBOYLE, T31. SCHOLASTICAN1931 V THE ORATORICAL CONTEST Early in March oratorically inclined students were given the opportunity of dis! playing their talents in the Daily News Oratorical Contest. The rules of the con! test provided for a sinminute oration on some phase of the Constitution of the United States. Competition was opened to members of the junior and senior classes, sixty of whom applied for the first tryrout. The written speeches were submitted for inspection, and from these were selected the sixteen which best fulfilled the qualifications of an oration. The entrants for the finals were determined by an elimination contest, which took place on March 10. Contestants chosen were Jane Lorenz, Betty Lapp, Catherine Quinlisk, Marie Hoffmann, Eleanor Quiniisk, Geraldine Streff, and Catherine OiBoer, who gave their orations before judges from Loyola University on March 11. Many different aspects of the constitution were expounded. and all the speakers showed the great profit which they had received from their coachis efforts in training them. However, no matter how good several speeches may be there is always one which is outstanding. This time Betty Lapp, with an inspiring discourse on kiThe Constir tution, the Crystallization of the Best Ideals in Government, deservedly won the prize, a bronze plaque awarded by the Daily News. Entrance into this contest is no small step in the forensic career of S. S. A., and as we look into the crystal of the future, no impediment is seen in the road of its progress to greater heights in this field.

Treasurer A new alumna, from a graduating class of not so long ago, sent us her impres sions of Homecoming Day. Since the Eiold gradsll who have seen many a class initiated have heard something similar from almost every new member, the letter has been saved, and is very interesting to all who read it and see in it the true feeling of every graduate. The letter begins: ilHomecoming was grand. It was the perfect finishing touch to graduation week. When the Alumnae invitation arrived, my curiosity urged me to accept and see what it was all about. You, who are old timers in the Alumnae know how thrilled I was that I did go. At Mass again in the chapel, I experienced a feeling of joy and pride in being a graduate of Saint Scholastica. It wasnlt hard to see why the girls who had graduated before always looked forward to this Home! coming as their annual treat, and indeed it proved to be something I would not have missed for the world. llYou canlt guess how much Ilve thought of the Alumnae this summer. The vacation has been all that I could have expected. Ilve been playing tennis and even finding time to read several new books. In spite of all this fun, not going back to Saint Scholastica gives me such a lonesome feeling. llm counting on making up for it by meeting all the girls at the very first- tea of the year. The Alumnae hope that each graduate of nineteen thirtyeone will find in her Alumnae the opportunity to keep her school friendships throughout all the years after graduation. BERNICE CRAWLEY, l27 .
