-1 . Q A-'15, ',:, ..:i--gp. THE 194-Cl K URSULINE , 'g Y glllb Emfufzing Qfafusfi What lessons hast thou learned in U. A's eventful school? The summit of the arch of life lies just ahead, Search now thy heart and mind. What values dost thou find? What truth remains that shall the shortened years now rule? The pomp, the show, the fevered quest for wealth and fame I clearly see are vain and empty myths which fail, And soon are dead and stale, Man's spirit naught avail, But off with evil greed the mind and soul inflame. I've learned to love God's handiwork-the sea, the sky, The setting sun which lights up waters calm and still, Then sinks beneath the hill. Such daily wonders thrill My soul in grateful praise to Him who reigns on high. I've learned to know the warmth and glow which friendship brings, The understanding look, the hand that meets my need, The kindly word and deed Which oft my spirit freed, And helped me raise my head when sore oppressed with things. I've learned to hold in sacred trust the tender love Which makes the ,home the richest gift on earth below- A safe retreat from woe, Where simple virtues grow, Where finite men foretaste that larger Home above. Full well I know we're here to give and not to get, To follow hard on Truth, to help uphold the Right, To grope toward fuller light Which now transcends our sight, To be content, to live each day and not to fret.

omaific Science Cyan Cookery means the knowledge of Medes and Circe and of Helen and of the Queen of Sheba. It means the knowledge of all the herbs and fruits and balms and spices, and of all that is healing and sweet in fields and groves and savory in meats. It means care- fulness, inventiveness, and willingness and readiness of appliance. It means the economy of your grand- mothers and the science of the modern chemist, it means much testing and no wasting, it means English thoroughness and French art and Arabian hospitality and in fine it means that you are to be perfectly and always ladies. -Ruskin.
