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. Gratefully, CATHERINE L. MCMULLEN, President 0
