QQLQEWQESED Dear Graduates, your high school days have come to an end. Now, as you stand at the threshold of life, you are reluctant to re- linquish the pleasures of high school only to cherish their memories. You are conscious of graver responsibilities which will overtake you as you leave Alma Mater. To many of you, commencement will mark the completion of your formal educa- tion. Others Will strive for greater learning, will pursue the myriad fields which lie open to you. Whether your immediate future lies in college, or in the business World, may you ever be conscious of a spirit of advancement. Your education, far from being complete, is merely beginning. Great and many are the lessons to be taught through observation and experience, greatest of your informal teachers. You step forth from Ursuline Academy, bound together by a strong friendship, due to the long years of close contact and coop- eration in attaining your goal. May your commencement day be the hap- piest of your high school course and may you always be loyal to Ursuline. DEDHCEATHCQN To Gur Parents Whose self-sacrificing lives in our behalf have been our inspirationg Whose constant and untiring protection has lovingly hovered about us from our tenderest years and whose declining years we shall comfort with filial undying loyalty and assistanceg we, the Sen- ior Class of Ursuline Academy with senti- ments of profound gratitude and affection dedicate this yearbook. Tribute To Our Parents There are deeds of love and kindness we accept without a thought, And much we count our birthright has with sacrifice been bought. Long years of watchful guidance through sickness and in health, Were fees we have not counted from Love's enormous wealth. With what shall we repay it? With a life quite free from blame, By honest daily effort bringing honor to their name. So today we pay a tribute to those who love us most Of whose assured approval we may confidently boast. We lift our hearts in pleading to God in heaven above To ask His greatest blessing on our parents whom we love. Ursuline Academy Faculty 1940-1941 REVEREND FATHER BONIFACE, O. F. M.

Cap Tribute To Father Boniface as Little by little, an acorn said As it slowly sank in its mossy bed: I am improving every day Hidden deep in thc earth awayf, u Little by little it sipped the dew, Little by little each day it grew, Downward it sent out a thread-like root, Up in the air sprang a tiny shoot. Day after day and year after year, Little by little the leaves appear, And the slender branches spread far and wide, Till the mighty oak is the forest's pride, These words, by an unknown author, can more fully express the help and guidance given us by our kind pastor, Father Boniface, than any individual efforts on our part. It is true that we feel now, in our hour of joy, that we compare with the forest's pride, but when we stop to contemplate and consider that Commencement does not mean the achieve- ment of an end, but is merely the beginning of our real work in life, then do we realize and appreciate the fact that only because of the profound Catholic guidance that we have received have we laid a firm foundation for the future. We are grateful for the Hne school which we will always be so proud to claim as our Alma Mater. You have always done everything in your power to see that we had every com- fort, Father Boniface. Yes, you have taught us many beautiful lessons of our holy religion. We are certain that in the years to come, whether we are furthering our education or are out in the busi- ness world, your instructions will ever assist us in being good Catholic girls. Your devotion to the Mother of God has inspired all of us to place our confidence and trust in Her. Each member of the class deeply appreciates the kindness and generosity you have always shown in our work. You have lightened the hearts of many through your winning smile. To you Reverend Father, and to all the good Fathers, we owe much of the success which we, as a class, have had and as individuals will have. May we always be a credit to SS. Peter and Paul Ursuline Academy. Message To The Graduates My dear Graduates: Your Graduation is the forty-ninth stone built into the years of the Ursuline Academy of SS. Peter and Paul's Church. The next to be placed into its building will be the Golden Iubilee stoneg the next page to be added to the history of the Academy will be the Golden page of the fifty years of sacrifice on the part of the Ursuline Sisters and the devoted people of the Parish. Forty-five Graduations, including your own today, are recorded in the Annals of the Ursuline Academy. I love to go back through the past years. At the end of the first year, 1892, ten stu- dents were enrolled in the Academy, a small beginning, but it developed and grew as the mustard seed of the Gospel. In the fourth year the Academy had an enrollment of fifty students. Of the first graduating class in 1896 we still have several Alumnae in our Parish. Their love for their Alma Mater, their loyalty to the Ursuline Academy, their fidelity to her ideals, speak well for the early teachers and the wonderful standard of thoroughness of the education of the school from its very foundation. Like links in a chain the Grade uating Classes have been added, the Golden link the next to be added to round out the first half of a century of its mission. The year 1940-1941 had the record enrollment of students, whilst the number of graduates this year is twenty-four. Twenty-four apostles of the Ursuline Academy going out under the protection of their glorious Patron St. Ursula, pledged to carry on the ideals of their Alma Mater. Forty-five graduating classes have gone through the portals of the Ursuline Academy with the promise to carry on its work, to inspire love for its ideals by word and example. These ideals are brieHy summed up in The Souvenir of the Golden Iubilee of SS. Peter and Paul's Church on page I32. lt is the crowning desire of many that the school fthe Ursuline Academy, will always be attended by a number of aspiring and diligent young ladies striving to gain the noblest ideals of lifeg to gain by means of a thorough knowledge of necessary and useful sciences a Fitting position in life in which purity of morals and religion form the bulwark. This is the form of higher education which will enable the future generation to benefit mankind by their qualifications and true Christian charity. Graduates of 1941, accept the legacy of the past of the Ursuline Academy. Consecrate yourselves to her ideals in your daily life and your daily example to others, fidelity to your religion and Goa' and purity of morals. If ever the world, if ever America needed such women, the world and America need them today. Let your farewell, your parting word to the Ursuline Academy on this Graduation evening before the Blessed Sacrament be Alma Mater, Ursuline Academy, We, the Graduates of 1941, pledge to you loyalty to your ideals. FATHER BONIFACE. O. F. M. CAP. DEAR GRADUATES: oun glorious, unforgettable years you have spent here in Ursuline Academy, working hard, playing well, always portraying those pure, genuine spirits of Catholic girlhoodg now your graduation day is here. s you began each school year you encountered new thrills, diiierent fields of art, dramatics and sports opened for your exploration and participation. You entered whole-heartedly into the various extra- curricular activities and blazed new paths of glory for Ursuline Academy. EALIZING your many talents and achievements, we proudly proclaim your unspoiled simplicity and willing cooperation in every enthusia- tic undertaking. We designate your motto: EXCELSIOR. SPECIALLY, we remember your numerous theatrical successes, Crusade and Sodality leadership, splendid literary and journalistic achieve- ments, and finally, the excellent scholastic records you have set up for your beloved Alma Mater. rm a little wonderment and awe, the Freshies bid you good-bye, hop- ing that they may easily follow in your guiding footsteps. Even our newly sophisticated Sophs pause long enough to wish you luck. XALTING your virtues and imitating your dignity, the Iuniors wave adieu, while they tearfully murmur valedictory congratulations, secretly bemoaning the fact that they will soon be in your place. ATER on, you will fondly recall your days in Ursuline Academy, so exuberant with fun, excitement and pleasant occupations. Your hearts will be ever grateful to all who added charm and interest to your high school career. AURELS acclaim your outstanding triumphs as Ursuline Academy re- luctantly relinquishes her claim on the class of '41, Forward Ever, Backward Never We have reached the bay, The ocean lies before us. We, who are graduating, are on the brink of a new awakening. We have come to another milestone. The things that seemed so im- portant a short time ago have lost their significance. Before us lies a World in which we must chart our own course. The path has been pointed out to us, but now, we cannot follow, we must find our own way. We are leaving a happy past to enter upon the threshhold of an unknown future. Each individual knows best the career for which she is adapted. She must apply the lessons she has been taught in the guidance of her course of action. But regardless of the serious thoughts that dominate our feelings these closing days, there is a certain joy accompanying the memories of carefree and happy days of high school life. These we know will inspire us in later years. Thus far we have traveled together. Now, our paths separate. Each one of us goes to her own destiny. It seems to me an opportune time to express our appreciation to our Reverend Fathers and gracious teachers, who have made these hours happy for us and who have, by their edifying example and splendid direction, inspired us to noble deeds and courageous lives. To our kind parents, who have made so many sacrifices for us, we hope to show our gratitude by living up to their guiding principles. And you, classmates, may I remind you that we should keep God forever in our heartsg wc should make the world more God-conscious. It seems to us that the part we play is too small to be of consequence. Let us remember, however, that the strongest fortifications are built brick by brick, and God is our stronghold against worldly temptations and despair. True, we should never set a course without a purpose, but, I say, never set a course without ideals. For high ideals will light the darkest path and uncover even the faintest glimmer of hope. Dear classmates, our Commencement should not be considered the end of an episode in life's drama, but the beginning of a new vista with new encouragement, new opportunities, new experiences. ln all things, loyalty should be our controlling spirit-loyalty to God, to our- selves and our ideals, loyalty to our class and our school, and to our country.

IBS The Graduates' Prayer Dear God, please accept today, the life of each one of us, to keep in Your care. Help us to remember that there is no monetary equivalent of honesty and sincerity and kindnessg and that the real measure of success is the life we build within ourselves. Help us to enjoy our friends and our books and our music, all through our life time, and to work hard and always to keep cheerful. Please, God, never let us become hardened to the beauty You have spread about us. Keep us alive to the loveliness of a flower freshly bloomedg of the curve of a birdls wing against the blueg of the stars and clouds and skyg of friendliness and love and truth.

You thought you would be eager to leave, to go out. into the world, to start a new life. Of course you had witnessed the regrets of those who left before you, but you thought they were just pretending. It was different then, but now- Leave you must. Say good-bye to your teachers and classmates you must, say good-bye to numberless friends who have been close to you for four happy years. But your loss is not complete. There is something of Ursuline Academy which you may keep for the remainder of your life. You came a girl-you depart a woman. To this end, Ursuline Academy has worked, moulding, until to- day you have a set of principles to guide you on your way. It is our sincerest wish as you depart that you will carry on with the spirit that is so much a part of Ursuline, and should now be a part of you. March onward and up- ward, spurred by the grace of God. And keep marching always with the ideals of true womanhood in your mind and heart strengthening your purpose and lifting your spirits, - il. -il 5 - Top Row CLelit to Rightjfllegina Nehring, Doris Weber, Ieanne Geatz, Rosemary McKenzie, Helen Hahig, Louise Lippold, Ieanne McDonough, Kathleen Murray, Agnes Keating. lW1IIJDLE Row-Virginia Foreman, lane Ward, Eileen Brennan, Phyliss Sell, Miltlrecl lilynn, lietty Hartman, Mary Ann IBFCSSIIIZID, Betty Ciormer, Dorothy Singer, Kathryn Gertleman. l3o'r 1'oixr Row--Catherine Byrnes, Phyliss Cornelius, Mary Rossworm, Louise Mut- tingly, l'atrit'ia liinn, Louise Beaulieu, Mary Rice, Helen Martz, Mary Theresa Narey.

Devotion to Mary can lead us in only one direction and to one only goal. The sweet Mother of God can teach us merely what she herself has learnt on earth, namely, to seek Iesus and to remain in His presence through joys and sorrows, unto the ultimate triumph. Such is the epitome of her life and such is her example to the generations that call her blessed. Mary's life onlearth, even though we know it only in fragments, gives us sufficient indication and 'direction for the attainment of that end to which all men are called, namely eternal blessedness. ' Iesus always had a place for Mary in His life on earth and in His everlasting glory. During all the years of His short earthly career she was with Him coming forth for our notice and instruction at critical moments. Thus when the Gentile world received its first introduction to Iesus Christ, the seal of God's will was upon the eventful meeting. He had just been born in the stable of Bethlehem, when, led by the spirit of God working directly in their hearts, the Magi came to adore Him. And the Evangelist records that they found the Child with Mary His Mother. Even when in the course of His thirty years with Mary, Iesus was lost to her for only the brief span of three days, she taught us how to seek Him, sorrowing indeed, yet with perseverance night and day. During the three years of the public ministry when Iesus was about His Father's businessf, Mary stood in the background waiting for the dreadful moment when she again went forth to seek Him this time in the sorrowful way of the cross. It was a narrow way but room enough for this mother of Iesus. And even when His space on earth was shrunken to the last narrow upright and crossbeam of the shameful gibbet in the ignominious place of execution on the Hill of Calvary, and when the number of those who remained near was reduced to one man and three women, there stood at the foot of the cross of Iesus, Mary, His Mother. She was always with Him because thereunto was she called by God, it was her mission. Mary, Our Mother Mary remained not only after the public life of jesus had commenced, she remained likewise after His death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven. For twenty years after these events, so traditions tell us, she lived among men. What was her mission then? Never had she followed a course separate from that of her Divine Son. VV here was that Son now? In heaven full surely where He sitteth on the right hand of God, but also upon the earth, the Church His true living body, the Eucharist His very flesh and blood. There must we look for Mary, with the Church and with the Eucharist. Mary was ever near the Eucharistic presence of Iesus. The intimate presence of Mary in the life of the Church dating from her own mortal days on earth continued after her assumption into heaven. The love of the faithful for this Mother of all the redeemed has never slackened. VVhen the great Council of Ephesus had set the official seal of the Church on the glorious title, MOTHER OF GOD, her mission among men shone forth more brightly than ever. Immediately as by divine inspiration from the assembled bishops the prayer HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH, passed on to the thronging multitude, and rose a majestic refrain, Wave on wave, over the whole earth, passing and repassing through the centuries. Without newspaper or radio that word spread over the world, wherever the name of Iesus was preached, and where it fell it remained rooted in the hearts of a grate- ful people. Devotion to Mary will never end because the life, teaching in short, the mystery of Christ, will never end. Mary is associated with all the mysteries of Christ's life: Prophecy, Incarnation, Na- tivity, Redemption, the birth of His Mystical Body. She received back in sacramental form the very body which she alone had given to the Son of God. As long, then, as the Church remains, as long as the Eucharist remains, Mary will be associated with these living realities and so long will the faith, hope, and love of men look to her for its beginning and its end.

Making Friends With Books All great literature is touched with inspiration. For this reason it has the power to inspire others. Next to the inspiration that comes from our association one with another. from lrienclship, the greatest source oli inspiration is lounrl in great literature. ln hooks are preserved the minds of men long since tleacl. From hetwecn the covers of a hook the great Shakespeare speaks to us again. Rohert Hurns has heen cleacl many years, hut open a volume of his wonderful love lyrics ancl he will sing his songs for us as he sang them ol oltl. livery lihrary is lull of thousands of hooks that are so permeated with the spirit ancl life ol' the authors that they have the power to teach the art ol living and inspire us to nohle tleecls. Many hooks on the other hantl are written for a rlay's pleasure. They entertain, they give relaxation from the hurtlens ol' life, they serve a temporary purpose. hut they are soon forgotten. ln choosing our rcacling, we shoultl choose those hooks that have the power to teach us the icleals ol' life, the secrets of success, ancl how to get on in the worlcl anal how to live forever in heaven. The way we choose our friends among hooks is just as important as the way we choose our human friends. They may he an inspiration or a waste of time-friends to go with tis through life, or merely passing acquaintances. To have made frienels with many good hooks is to have enriehecl your lilie heyoncl the wealth of Croesus. Why Some Books Never Die Have you ever stopped to think what has become of all the books that have been written during the thousands ol' years since people learned to read and write? The Assyr- ians and liabylonians wrote thousands of books on baked clay cylinders and tablets. The Egyptians and their neighbors wrote libraries of hooks on papyrus. A few of these are kept as curiosities in museums, but no one reads them now. Out of all the literature of the past. only a handful has suriivedfbut that handful has been read by an increasing number of people as the centuries come and go. This is the Literature that never grows old. NVhat is there about it that gives it such long life? More people are reading Davids Psalms today than erer sang them when he was alive. The Proverbs ol' Solomon are more used today than they were three thousand years ago. Shakespeare's plays are still read and played in the theatre, while the work ol' most dramatists of his day no longer interest us. l,incoln's Gettysburg Address is remem- hered, while the long and flowery speech which lidward Exerett delivered the same dav is forgotten. Many things combine to produce great literature, but the one quality it must always possess is that of sincerity, which is only another name for truth. ln other words it must portray or reveal truthfully the emotions, the hopes, the doubts and the iaith that have always existed in the heart of man.

Class ol '41 Why Literature Shall Not Go VALENTINE LONG, O. F. M. What sounds like 'an exaggeration need not be one. It may only prove the hastiness of those who, hearing, have judged it so. A man born blind might easily doubt the glory of a sunset as told to him, on the grounds of too good to be true. Yet could he but open his eyes for a moment to the splendor of the fact, he not unlikely would change his mind. He might then consider the description all of a sudden not good enough to be true. And so with the following statement. It runs the risk of sounding like big talk and, knowing this, falls shyly back upon an apology. But apology notwithstanding, this is the truth, that any school taking the Catholic religion seriously cannot afford for that very reason to make of English Literature a side issue. For that literature is nothing less than the authentic voice of human nature, speaking its purest English, and yearning its way through the hundred and one mysteries of life- whither?-to whom? Simply, it is language at its bestgone on a search for the Answer, and either--with the aid of divine revelation-finding that Answer fGodj or without that aid meeting with disappointment. It enjoys, to be sure, the free will to accept for not to acceptj the guidance of Christianity and have the light of heaven let down upon its path, but in either choice it indicates from its wild and beautiful insatiable dreams, which grow out of the very realities of experience, that man does want something better than this earth for a home. lt is a reaching for the stars, a cry in exile from the broken heart of humanity. And although it is true the masterpieces of our language, in an overwhelming majority, have about them the clean fresh air of Christianity, nevertheless a Catholic might very conceivably accuse that atmosphere of the taint of heresy. He might feel so inclined, but hardly if he had made a study of the classics in question. For the scholar would know how the religion of England, once separated from the Papacy, soon cracked up into all sorts of divisions, and that as a result the literary spokesmen of the nation avoided the differences of the multiplying sects to concentrate on those grand central doctrines from the Mother Church, still kept intact, and still held in common. Only the Catholic writers as a Chris- tian group, by way of exception, chose to venture doctrinally into detail, and their number, negligible for three centuries, has grown steadily out of the daybreak of the Oxford move- ment to the brilliance of an unquenchable sunrise. For the most part, Catholic or Protestant, they were men and women of Christlike ideals who wrought the emotions and dreams of the race into an immortal English beauty of mere words. And they cannot receive too much credit. But strangely enough it is the pagan minority, when not downright hostile, that has been known to carry more telling weight towards the confirmation of Catholic truth, in the minds of youth. And for this reason: it bears witness from without and in spite of itself. By contrast, its sadness without hope betrays it. Its rejection of divine revelation cannot stand the test. It cries out from the unfathomable depths of experience for it-knows-not-what. But a Catholic teacher knows, and it is his business to point out to the class any such unconscious act of faith. From the list of examples available, the Ode to the Nightingale will have to suffice. It is typical of the rest, poetry and prose alike. Here the poet Keats following the promptings of his better self reaches unaware a magnificent agreement with St. Augustine and St. Paul. Under the spell of beauty, when the silence of moonlight has taken voice and mingles music with radiance of the night, really in a blending as perfect as that of the fragrance and color of a flower, or the color and innocence in a child's eye, or the red warmth of a human kiss, under the spell of such beauty does the listening pagan feel himself carried beyond the limits of time, beyond the mere singing of the bird, into the heart of an eternal mystery. The concrete tortures him f My heart aches, . . . J with the intoxicating glory of its insufficiency, and his poem would burst the fetters of the flesh-straining for the Absolute-and be satisfied to the full. How can the author be addressing the nightingale for its own worth futhou wast not born for death, immortal birdlnj when he must know too well the fate in store for it? How else does the ode give sense than by an interpretation beyond its literal mean- ing? Indeed, and with the skill of genius, that light-winged dryad of the trees but sym- bolizes the deathless spirit of Beauty and in itself is not enough, is only the faintest sug- gestion, a physical reminder of what no eye hath seen nor ear heard this side the grave. And with nothing less will the poet be appeased. 44 Darkling, I listen, and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath, Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou are pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! Strange, that a young man in the twenties without the gift of faith, entirely from the demands of instinct, should have come so near to guessing the Beatific Vision and to achiev- ing the supreme heights of St. Paul's I desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ. Strange, that Keats too would dissolve, and quite forget . . . The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan, Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last grey hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and diesg Where but to think is to be full of sorrow And 'leaden-eyed despairs, Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond tomorrowf, Strange, and yet not strange, as inevitable as human nature, than an infidel should find himself aching for that uncreated fullness of Beauty, for that one Object able to in- spire love without end, without a moment's weakening of intensity, without a single touch of pain in it. Strange, magnif-iciently strange, that the whole spontaneous Ode to a Nightin- gale on nothing more than the authority of a poetys heart should have striven so nobly to say what an earlier pagan, newly enlightened, actually did accomplish: O Beauty ever ancient, ever new! . . . Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they rest in Thee. And this Ode to the Nightingale, let it be repeated, serves fairly well to exemplify the bulk of our pagan literature, in its impatience to reach beyond its own philosophy for the answers to the spirit of man. It is only one of many, and on no account a far-fetched case in point. Although in fairness to Iohn Keats let it be further mentioned, that he saves himself from that complete pessimism of such as Thomas Hardy because of his genius for coming close to the truth, even in the dark. All in all, to sum up, English Literature is nothing to be apologized for. Generally it has taken Christ to its heart. Seldom it has not, and when it has not it indeed mostly wanted to do exactly that, but understood not its own desire. It belongs in the Catholic classroom.

FLOERSH Archbishop of Louisville Mansions Last summer, I stood in front of the new Science Hall at one of the leading universities in the mid-west and marveled at the strength and the grandeur of the massive structure. The huge white pillars seemed to defy the ravages of time as they supported the giant blocks of granite above them. The lofty towers seemed to point heavenward with a sense of pride. As I stood and gazed at the structure, I lost sight of the four walls, the pillars and the towers, and thought only of the energy, the talent and the mind of the young architect who had built them. It seemed that his heart and soul had created a symphony of iron, steel and stone. Quickly the story of that young man's life ran through my mind. He was a carpenter's song as a boy, he had few of the pleasures that other children had. While his comrades were playing, he was busy helping his Father. The Fatherls ambition was to have his son to be a carpenter, but deep in the soul of the boy there was a burning desire to go to college, to be a great architect. Several times he tried to broach the question to his parents, but each time he met with opposition. At last when he was old enough to make his own way he registered at one of our large universities. Today, the dreams of that young man have come true, and that new Science Hall stands as a monument to his child- hood dreams, a mansion of his soulis great desire. The life of that young architect and the mansion which he built should awaken in us a sense of opportunity. These are days of panic, war and suffering. Across the skies of Europe and Asia can be seen the fiames of burning cities, and each and every nation sits fearful lest the great war-god work havoc within its boundaries. The cries of women and children resound throughout the streets of the war-torn coun- tries. In our own America, social and economic chaos reign. We need only to look into the hearts of our people to realize the suffering and unhappiness of mankind. For the past ten years we have been attempting to climb out of the pit we fell into in 1929. During that time, we have seen some ten million men out of work, thousands of others who have been unable to follow their chosen professions, and still others who have never been quite sure' that with their next pay-check there will not be a notice concerning their dismissal. Under these conditions does man ever stop to look into his inner self and to ask, What man- sions am I building? Do we ever realize that we have great possibilities? In the face of present day difficulties some feel that circumstances are against them, hence seldom make the effort to accomplish the apparent impossible. They have ceased to realize that one's best efforts should be put forth in the face of opposition. The greatest mansions ever built have been constructed under adverse circumstances. Demosthenes, overcome with an apparently unconquerable impediment of speech, became one of the foremost orators of ancient times. Ludwig Van Beethoven, deprived of hearing in the later years of his life, composed great symphonies which have never been surpassed. Louis Pasteur, in the fact of ridicule and scorn, forged ahead against opposition and suc- ceeded, even at the risk of his life, in perfecting a serum to combat rabies. Robert Louis Stevenson, even after he was confined to his bed, produced some of the world's greatest literature. Abraham Lincoln, whose immortal memory shall forever be linked with that of liberty, fought his way from childhood to establish the ideal of freedom from bondage. Helen Heller, deprived of sight and hearing, proved to the world that these difficulties can be overcome. Thus down through the ages, men and women have risen above their difficulties and have built many mansions. Today their messages echo and re-echo in the hearts of men as never before, we must heed their example and build as they have built. In the face of our present day difficulties, we should make the most of our talents and not be overcome by the almost insurmountable obstacles that are on every side. There are unlimited oppor- tunities for those who would build mansions. The world needs men and women of vision, men and women who are willing to sacrifice their own selfish pleasures in order to build mansions for the betterment of humanity. If each and every man, each and every country were to set about the task of building, there would be no place in this world for greed and avarice. It is our task as Catholic High School graduates to direct our energies so that the next generation shall look with pride on the mansions we have built. From a distance I once again see that magnificent new Science Hall. It has now be- come a center of activity. The American Hag Hies from the towers, the college colors are entwined about its pillars. From within come the strains of Hail! Alma Mater, Suddenly the portals are thrown open, and in cap and gown come young men and women. Each carries in his hand a document which contains the official signature of that institution, each carries in his heart a desire to build mansionsg each carries the realization that obstacles are in his way--that difficulties must be over-come. As the din of activity dies away and the profession passes slowly before me, I would that each one would turn and raise his eyes to the stately towers that seem to proclaim the message of the architect in the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sealn l:fFf Fl Thought So teach us to number our days, prays the Psalmist, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. A man of wisdom looks below the surface of things, he is not content with the trap- pings of learning. In humility he goes to Nature and to the sages, like Abou Ben Adhem, he asks, Write me as one who loves his fellow-man , smitten with a sense of his own nothingness, he bows his head to Infinite Wisdom. True wisdom, therefore, has little to do with books, it, is, rather, the possession of those who attune their hearts to that inner voice, where whispers the poet in each of us. It is the true poet, as Iames Russell Lowell writes, Who utter wisdom from the central deep, And, listening to the inner How of things, Speak to the age out of eternityf' Wisdom separates the wheat from the chaff which exists in every book and in every life. Whatever bit of a man's work is honestly and benevolently done, said Ruskin in his mellowed old age, that bit is his book. It is mixed always with evil fragments and with ill-done, redundant, affected work. But if you read rightly, you will easily discover the true bits. Knowledge in the mind and wisdom in the heart-how different they are! Cowper has drawn that distinction for us: Knowledge is proud that he has learn'd so much, Wisdom is humble that he knows no more, We Build The Ladder By Which We RISE As we look over the history of mankind from the earliest period of civilization to the present, we find characters that have risen from positions of obscurity to others in which they have exerted a marked influence upon their associates, and upon the age in which they lived. There were no carefully constructed steps to assist them in climbing to these positions, but upon some foundation they began the construction of a ladder, adding to it round after round by patient toil, and rising step by step, till they reached a place where no others were able to stand. There are few people in the world who have not engaged in the branch of architecture called castle-building. These airy palaces contain the most pleasant abodes for the builder. We may have planned our way through life, but as time passes, with its inevitable ups and downs, what a different picture is presented to our view! We learn that we must build upon a surer foundation, for life, with its duties and difficulties, is a reality. We are sometimes inclined to think that the little incidents of common, every-day life, are of little consequence, and if we could only do something of some importance we would be happy, Great things are not done in a day. Twenty-four hours are far too short to do anything that will make one famous, but it is not too short to do something, and the many little things added together make the great one. The earth is composed of atoms, the century of moments, and our lives of little acts. If we expect to reach a higher posi- tion, such common tasks must be performed, and perhaps after these we will find our greater life-work. Life would hardly be worth living if our thoughts were for ourselves. All the beauty in nature was made for our enjoyment, so our actions should be for the good of those around us. The present alone is ours, and wasted opportunities are never presented to us again. Every one should have some work to do, and after selecting some object worthy of at- tainment, work for that alone. VVe must start at the lowest step, but if our chosen occupa- tion will bring us at last to a higher one, we need not be discouraged. Many of those who have gained the object of their labors worked years for it, as many years may have been spent by another of equal ability, who sought a number of prizes and gained none. A good education is almost indispensable as an aid to one who is struggling to gain a place in the front rank of the world's workers. I used to think that when the a b c's were learned, the most difficult step toward all education was taken, but these are only the im- plements with which we work to acquire facts and learn truth. Those who have reached the higher round are never satisfied with what they have done and willing to lay aside their work, but still push on, hoping to attain higher eminence. Only to careful study can we ascribe the progress made in the different branches of science and art in the past. The earth has been called the geologist's puzzle-box, and in the starry heavens above us the astronomer has found problems too complicated to be solved by ordinary processes. A We may not be building a structure by means of which we expect to make our names famous, but we are building the invisible framework of character. May the material of which it is composed be the best, and may it be held together by the nails of pure motive and noble purpose. Life is made up of success and failure, and those who are the most successful are the truest and best workers. We all expect success, and this stimulates us to greater activity. Often, however, instead of our efforts being crowned with success, we meet with failure. but our failures, as well as our successes, should be steps by which we rise to greater use- fulness. Now, we rise only as we place our difficulties under our feet. Usually the greater the natural endowment, the higher the aim. Buffin's definition of genius, It is patiencef' does not seem exaggerated when the achievements of patience are considered. It is an old and oft-quoted proverb that Where there's a will thereis a way. Though the way may be beset with difficulties and progress seems almost impossible, yet by overcoming those that are nearest, a way through the others may be opened. lt has been said of a distinguished artist, that he painted the chips scattered about his father's farm, and then struggled through many narrow straits of poverty and oppression before the great men ofthe nation came to his studio for their portraits. Only by perseverance are we able to overcome the opposition which We meet in life. The sweetest flowers are guarded by the sharpest thorns, so our greatest achievements may be surrounded by the most try- ing difficulties.

THOMAS HEYER Miss ANN YOUNG Trea,furc'r Secretary Our Alumnae Everyone with one or more of five senses knows the annual sweetness of Springtime. Nature shows signs of life then. Birds sing again. The trees bud. The air feels good. And Howers bloom. But as president of Saints Peter and Paul's Ursuline Alumnae Association I know something more gratifying than even that-namely, the work of so many of our members on behalf of their Alma Mater, and mine. Alumnae who do nothing for their school ref semble dead trees. But those who give of their time and energy are a delight, their deeds of sacrifice surpass the beauty of foliage, afford deeper pleasure than the activities of Spring. At least, that happens to be how I see it. And seeing it thus, I have found it a pleasure to be president of our Ursuline Alumnae. The cooperation from all quarters has delighted me. It has been one hundred per cent, as the following list of activities will testify--in praise of our members. To the Fourteenth Biennial Convention of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae, held at the Hotel Iohn Marshall in Richmond, Virginia, October I8 to 24, we sent a notable representation. Those attending were: Sister Charles, Sister Austin, Sister Agnes Marie, Mrs. Thomas F. Moore, Mrs. Harry C. Martin, Mrs. F. DeSales Glick, Mrs. M. E. B. Owens, Mrs. Robert Shine fof Danville, Virginiaj, Mrs. Richard F. McMullen, Miss Rita Frantz, and Miss Eleanor Long. A former president, Mrs. Perry Ambrose, had been delegated to take charge, but, herself unable to attend, was substituted for by a very capable alternate, Mrs. Moore, who brought home an interesting, timely report. Nor did our scholastic activities cease at Richmond, They cropped out again a month later in Baltimore, at the Emerson Hotel. For there it was that the Maryland State Con- vention of the I. F. C. A. was held, and of course Ursuline Alumnae were on the scene again. Sister Austin, Sister Leonita, Mrs. Harry C. Martin, Mrs. Thomas F. Moore, and Miss Mary Lawler were there to represent the school we all love best. But not on conventions alone does a worthwhile alumnae group nourish a true spirit. It goes out and, in all sorts of ways prompted by ingenuity, raises funds for the upkeep of education, and here again our members have done splendidly. Such financial helps as a rummage sale and a bingo party were run off for the purpose, not to speak of private card parties in the homes of Mrs. Thomas F. Moore, Mrs. George L. Long, Mrs. F. DeSales Glick, Mrs. A. L. Miller, and Mrs. Richard F. McMullen. Speaking of cards, I believe this is the place to slip in a word of thanks to two well organized card clubs, the members of each being all Ursuline Alumnae-and generous to our common cause The one known as the Braille Club, composed of Miss Mary Law- ler, Miss Kathryn F. Doerner, Miss Rita Frantz, Miss Eleanor Long, Miss Lucille Ley, Miss Dorothy Litzenburg, Mrs. Iohn V. Farrell, Mrs. Thomas B. Cumiskey, Ir., Mrs. Richard F. McMullen, have contributed 3550.00 toward the Xavier Free Publication Society and Circulating Library for the Blind. These girls are much interested in Braille Work and, according to the talk I hear, may begin some actual transcribing any time now. The other card club, equally laudable, has stood the expenses of the Ursuline Alumnae Scholarship to Ursuline Academy. Its membership includes: Mrs. Thomas Heyer, Mrs. Perry Ambrose, Mrs. George Garlitz, Mrs. Alberta Kolb, Mrs. Harry C. Martin, Mrs. M. E. B. Owens, Mrs. R. B. Browning, Miss Mary Catherine Ruppenkamp, Miss Helen Weisenmiller, Miss Madelyn Wallace, Miss Doris Gunther, Miss Louise Stegmaier, and Miss Alice Stakem. May there be more such clubs organized for so noble a purpose! Our heartiest admiration and gratitude go also to Mrs. Wyand F. Doerner and her able assistants, Mrs. A. L. Miller, Mrs. William L. Keller, Mrs. Thomas F. Moore, Mrs. Harry C. Martin, Mrs. Richard Shireman, Mrs. F. DeSales Glick, Mrs. Richard F. Mc- Mullen, Mrs. M. E. B. Owens, Mrs. lohn B. Wolfhope, Miss Mary Lou Doerner, Miss Marion Boyland, and Miss Mary Catherine Ley, who are sponsoring a sewing project for the benefit of the Red Cross. It happens to be a work of charity as active as it is service- able, with a meeting every Wednesday in the Singer Sewing Machine rooms on Centre Street, and with some remarkably beautiful layettes as a result. Then, too, Girl Scout Troop No. 9 under the sponsorship of Ursuline Alumnae twice in the past year visited the County Home on a godlike mission: to spread cheer through a lovely program and refreshments to those less fortunate than we. And all this is still not the whole story of our Alumnae's energy for charity. But to cut the encouraging story short, here follows a mere list of other donations: 1. 1550.00 to the Thanksgiving Supper, 2. 525.00 toward the Coal and Candle Collection in March, The Sister M. Denis Scholarship, 3. 4. Flowers to the Sisters on the feast of Saint Ursula, as well as for Christmas and Easter: 5. 515.00 toward the I. F. C. A. Pope Pius XI Scholarshipn to be awarded to the Federation Sister Whose name is drawn at the National Convention. 6. 1525.00 to help defray the expenses of the retreat which was held for the students of Ursuline Academy. All in all I think this record of Ursuline Alumnae Association for the year is one not to be ashamed of. but one rather to be emulated in the future. By way of an innovation, a fitting innovation, a High Mass for living and deceased members of our Association and their relatives will be sun on une , at ei ht o'clock. 1 8 7 g May I hope, and expect, as many as possible to attend? Finally, the following day, Iune 8, the annual breakfast will be given in honor of this year's class of graduates. Upon the requests of some who attended last year's, I have prac- tically ordered my brother, Father Valentine, to oblige us again with an address-not too long, who has glady consented to come. And now, will our alumnae, graduates of what- ever year, promise to be present too, and honor our latest prospective graduates. the girls sf '41? I know they will! And I thank all in advance.
