The long desired vi~it of our

Thursday afternoon. D~xemher 9.
The Vice President. Margaret

and after the students had
been informally introduced, a
short impromptu program wa~
given; selections were rendered
by Catherine O'Reilly, E\'elyn
Regan, Clementine Koch. and
Eleanor O'Connor and songs by
the College Glee Club. Refresh­ments-
a treat pro\'ided by our
guest-were sen'ed and the
Bishop joined in the merriment
which the occasion offered.
When thanked for the delight­ful
party which he had gh·en us
and in which he was kind enough
to participate, the Bishnp told m

Father has known, that we begin
to con~ider the little we aTC doing

tales of life and death in

a fuller reali7.ation of the dangers
and ri~k:; to which nohle men and
women expo~e them~e1\'e,; for
the lo\"e of Cod and the sake of
pUlllanity. Xo peril seems too
great for them to encounter in

of the great ~ef\'ice,; we call ren­der

Education," emphasizing the im­portance
of religious teaching­that
it must not be a side issue,
to be thrvwn in or thrown out at

Certainly all agreed when he said,
;'College days are not all holi­days,

obtained without considerable
effort. For our e. ... ample we are

A Word on Christmas
For many weeks past the hectic
Christmas rush has been on .
Everyone IS completely sub­merged
in frantic preparations
for the holiday. The excitement
will continue to mount in a steady
crescendo until it reaches its
peak on December 25, after
which it will peacefully fade
away in a week's time.
When the tme significance of
the feast IS kept III the fore­ground
as the center of every
Christmas thought all this activity
is part and parcel of the glorious
thrill this season brings. The
great pity is that for some it all
seems so futile. The Christ Child
IS forgotten because there is so
much to do for the human chil­dren
and grown-ups. The affair
develops like a reversible reaction
in chemistry. The harder a good
lady ntshes (we use our own sex
for the exampJe because the male
of the species is wary of engag­ing
in the fray), the more she
loses sight of the meaning of
Christmas, and the more hazy the
meaning grows in her mind the
more futile is her ntshing. Verily,
the last state of the poor lady is
worse than the first.
One hopeful sign persists amid
all the litter of tinsel and toys.
Whether people are conscious of
it or not one legacy remains from
the first Christmas. That is good
wil1 to men. There is no time of
year when there is so much
charity for the poor, so much
thoughtfulness for others. Some­how,

mates.

Secret Garden
There is a garden in my dreams
Bound by a sUll-kissed wall;
My thoughts, Eke wind-blown
petals,
Fly around, and inside fall.
I creep out to the garden gate;
'Tis strange. I wish to enter
there,
Yet fear lest shattered dreams be
mine
Keeps unfulfilled my wish, my
prayer.

most of the sunshine, hm in no

downpour of rain III inclement
weather. The corners of the
intersecting streets are posted
with safety signals. Street cars
jerk along their unswerving rail
path. "No Parking" signs with
their bold, black lettering all
along the street defy automobil­ists.
Every corner has its news

an enlarged stall to accommodate
the sale of popular magazines.
The people, though. afford the
most absorbing study. Some
race to and fro, just as if a
menacing explosive were at their
heels. How outrageous to he

light! Better to halt at the curb
though, than to be sent back to
the curb by the white-gloved
officer. Then the lights change.
The mob is set in motion. There
is much diving in and out. There
are some individuals who con­sider
that the street IS a per­sonal
convenience for them
alone. They elbow their way
through the crowd importantly.
Others there are who would be:
stepped on and crushed if the
advance depended on self-asser­tion.
The corner has a story pecu­liarly
its own. Street car stops
are usually made at corners.
Tired women-shoppers. hurrying
home, wait here until their trolley
is in evidence. Others-men in
the majority -monopolize the
corner In somewhat the same
fashion as some monopolize a
hotel lobby-a place for loafing
in perfect ease and sophistication.

Holiday Hallucination$
uj'was the week before Chri~t­mas
and all through our

~Ot a lesson was studied; they'd
rebelled against knowledge.
The lockers were Slacked high
with neat piles of books.
The lecture room empt)', the
halls empty too,
Of students so loyal \lOt a one
now remams,
For thoughts of rebellion ran
wild in their brains,
While the De.1n in her office and
the profs at their desk-.
:\ lI'aited ill ire. lThey'd prepared
for a test.)
When out on the porch there
arose such a datter.
They rushed f rom their places to
~ee what was the matter.
The juniors and Sophomores
were gi\'ing a cheer
\rhile the emboldcned Fresh­men
brought up a royal

Before you decide our glad

The morning retreat is over

Granny was a dear old soul
who had trimmed many a Christ­mas
tree during her long sweet
life. hUl each Christmas E"e
seemed to be a new advelllure for
her.
"Here we are, Granny!" cried
a chonrs of little voices; then
awefully, "O-o-o-o! It's so big!"
and hright eyes seemed to fai rly
pop o\rt of little heads.
"So much the hetter to hold
things. my dears." laughed
Grannv. "BUI come. \Ve must
begin our play. Fir~t. let's load
the tree with Christmas spirit.
Why Christmas isn't Christmas
without it."
With busy fingers she twined
and intertwined the sturdy green
branches with shining tinselly
stuff until they glistened in the
firelight. Jack. with the manli­ness
of ten years. helped Granny
with the higher branches from his
perilous perch on a ladder, and
he was the envied of all.
"Each of us can give just as
much happiness as this lo\'el)'
tree if we have all abundance of
true Christmas spirit. But see
our star! \Ve mustn't (orget
that. Right on the topmost bough
will it rest. And who can tell me
about the star of Bethlehem?"
"I can, Granny." spoke all
earnest little soul with seriou~
face. So Joan, the center of all
eyes, told simply and sweetly the
story of the Magi. and Jack
proudly put the star in its place
of glory.
Then Granny pondered for a
moment, "Children, I have an
idea. How would you like to
offer gifts to the Christ Child
just as the Kings of the East did?
You know giving belongs to the
Christmas spirit and our spirit
must be entire."
""'bere are we going to get
gold. frankincense and myrrh ?"

asked sceptical Dick, who at
eight believed himself as wise as
any man.
';0 child alive! We won',
gh'e gifts like that." Granny was
both astounded and amused for a
moment. "But see all thost
beaUliful ornaments. \\'e'll let
the gold be our silent prayer,;,
the green. our hopes, the red. our
kindness and good deeds. and
we'll offer them all to the Babe 01
Bethlehem."
Joan looked troubled. "Granny
dear. there are the si!v'ry hhrt
halls, too. What can they be?"
"Of course, dear. I didn't
notice them. Perhaps when we
put them 011 the tree we can think
of the holy joy of the Blessed
Mother and rejoice with her."
When the last gi ft was placed
on the tree it was an iridescen~
mass of glory.
