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-
