Juniors Complete
Successful Week
Junior Week ia now n uever·to·
be- forgotten memory. Our high­est
hopes and the good wiahea of
our friends were fulfilled to the
greate!lt possible degree. The
festivities of the week were au:o.­piciously
ushered in by a Com­muni<
ln and Beakfast held lit the
College on Monday morning. !'ali$/!

olTered II special prllyer to
the Blessed Virgin, our patroness,
to whom Junior Week was form_
ally dedicated. We consider it
a special favor that Father
Michael Feeney, brother of Miss
Mary Feeney, a member of our
da$!! officiated lit the Mass which
was followed by brellkfast in the
College cdeterill at which the
faculty was toasted lind college
songs were sung. We wish eaped­ally
to express our appreciation
to Mrs. Henner, Mrs. Leary, and
Mrs. Slavin as well as to Mi$!!
Mary Leary, chairman for the
event, who did so much to make
the Mrair a SUCCesll. The remain­ing
hours of Monday were spent
in IInticiplition of our outstanding
function, the Prom.
The Prom! The setting, Oak
Hill Country Club, was perfect
and Edward's Collegillns left noth­ing
to be desired in the way of
music. Our favors, white kid
pictUre frames for the girls, and
black kid picture Irames for the
boys, were most favorably com_
mented upon by all our guest.!!
among whom the college girls of
the other cla$!!es were well rep­resented.
Our only conlOlation
on leaving the Prom was the fact
that Elnor Zweigle was entertain­ing
the cIa$!! at breakfllst at her
attractive home.
Wishing our motherll to hllve a
special part in our pleasures, we
entertained them at luncheon on
Wednellday at the Odenbach Re:o.­taurant
and at the Rochester
Theater. Judging by their happy
faees, a few minutes was sufficient
for them to catch our contagious

The Summer School of Catholic Action
Progreu is the keynote of the twentieth century;
lind there are Catholic Studentll living in the
twentieth century. Now we concede a close
"elatlonship between the two statements,-whllt
we want and need is Catholic Action. Admitting
that fact we cannot simply sit back lind congratu­late
our!IClves on discovering such a necd. Here
at NlI1.areth College as in every College there are
real leaden in the S. S. C.; it is to them that we
extend an invitation to join the Summer School of
Catholic Action. Willingness and capability are
fine in themselves, but excellent when united with
knowledge and practical experience.
The students will be enrolled for the Summer
School in the School of Sociology, of the University
of St. Louis, but the classe~ will be conducted in
Fontbonne and Webster Colleges with t heir beauti­ful
grounds llnd buildings situated on the outskirts
of St. Louis.
Rev. Daniel A. LO\'d S. J., sent u~ the following
appealing information:
"And then in the companionship of thi~ group
of real Icaderl and under the direction of memo
bers of the .staff of THE QUEEN'S WORK, .the
University and the college" informal classes, prac­tical
laboratory practice, informal disc:u"ion.s, and
round tables will give them the training they feel
they badly need. Each evening social feature3
will round ofT the day. At the end of the COUr!le
qualilled students will be ready for three college

the School of Sociology.

Catholic Youth Movement who arc keen to know
a little more clearly how to use their Catholic train.
ing, develop their own love of Christ" and Mary,
and become more effective leaders. They are the
ones we want, and we believe that BII many as can
come will be there. The time is the last two weeks
of Augu.st. Your expense!! including everything
euential will be only $48 75. This includes tUition,
literature, room lind board."
The maximum number allowed from our college
is three students. Talk it over, girls, for it is
cerlBinly worth while. And those of you who can·
not come, "plense say a little prayer for the suc·
cess of the Sodality's most important enterprise."
Mary M. Moran, '33.

Book s
I suppose that there are few inhabitants of the
civilized portions of t his world of oura who have
never !elt the irresistible influence, the awakening
intercst, lind the broadened vistas to which the
reading of good books is an ever· present key. I
suppose, too, thAt there lire few to whom the desire
hA1 not come to have limitless time in whleh to
gratify that opportunity of viewing men and evenb
which the reading of books affords.
Someone once spoke of books as staTS .. . guid­ing
stars .... with which one can fix an unfailing
course and steer through life. Dickens and Scott,
for instance, are sure pilots that point out an
unl werving couree. They stand still, thou&h eon­flicting
currenta have threatened at times to engulf
them in the new art, in the sophisticat ion of clever
aphorisms and veiled jibes. Theirs is an unchang·
ing fibre which no literary hour gla" of shifting
opinion can alter.
Books liTe as different and u varied as the
people who write them-and incidentally as those
who read them. They refl~ct public tllste and
opinion unfailingly, like 1\ revolving mirror that
catches a myriad ahape! in its surface. Books are
our constant friends, always acce"ible. In a
library we can convene for hours with t he genius
of the world. Yet our friendship with books should
never exclude our higher friendships with men and
women. Rather, they should strengthen and
broaden our entire sympathy and love of humanity.
This IIlone i. the miMions of these never_failing
Criends--books.
Spring
Sunshine is drifting over the mauhe.. It shim·
mers on the sWI blue water of the bay, lind on the
wooded slopes which fringe its shores. The clesr·
est and sweetest of bird notes trills through the
po'gnant lIilence. A clump of dogwood gleams in
silver beauty among the shadows on the shore.
With a swift rUllh of wingl, a scarlet tanager datta
from ambush and skims over the reeds that sway
in the morning breeze.
Lily pads rock on the surface of the water.
They promise luscious, white blooms later in the
summer. Now they fret like little boau at anchor.
Lazy clouds float overhead. They are full­sailed
galleons bound for a golden port. The jade
and turquoise waters of the bay a!"e unruffled. A
gull .swoops down and rises again, winging ita way
out to sea. He leavcs undisturbed the tranquil
silence of the .surrounding woods. Leaves remain
on the ground from last fall. They make a pleas­ant
carpet. Ferns and violets are making their
appearance, and fragile, ghost-like wildfiowerL
There is still ness everywhere and peace; and the
beauty that reigns.
"Under the whispering pines,
Where the dogwood breaks in bloom
Aud the peaceful sunlight shines
Where wild birds sing lind ferns unfold
When Spring comes back in her green and gold."

Three cheers for the editorial,

To most people, the idea
of emphasizing the supp03ed vicel

given by Father Wm. P. Ryan of
St. Bernard's Seminary, as princi­pal
speaker on the World Peace
Program conducted March 26 at
the College.
Father Ryan gave tbe Church's
views on the question of Peace
and War. Father Ryan explained
this by proving the Church
never favors extremes ; she
neither advocates war nor insists
on absolute p<)ace; war is per­missible
when the honor of a
nation is at stake.
Miss Helen Guntert had charge
of the program which was given
to further the interest of the Col­lege
in the movement for inter­national
peace. Nazareth is a
member 0[ the Catholic' Associa­tion
for International World
Peace, whose influence ha~ ex­tended
throughout the United
States and Europe. Under the
standard of its motto, "Pax
Christi in regno Christi," its mem­bel'll
strive for the peace of the
world by creating throughout the
world an inteUig<)nt puMic opinion
concerning international affairs.
Miss Louise Brown told how the
College girl could do her bit in
this great organization . and Miss
Eleanor Craig stated what had
been accomplished by the society.
Miss Anna Fisehette wrote the
following poem inspired by the
occasion:
T he P eace of Ch r ;.t
Chaotic and dark, the shadowed

The combats and the strife of

Nor peace nor love fraternal was

The quaint and charming touch
in the poems written on the favor­ite
littlc animal of the poets, the
donkey, pleased us. There were
concept!! of different kinds; from
the cxultant cry in the face of de­rision
in the poem of Gilbert K
Chesterton to the little ass who
fe lt so badly because the Christ
child was cold, and when He
cried, tried to comfort Him and
warm Him with his breath.
One other remembrance re­mained
with us from Katherine
Bregy's own poem on Springtime
in Pennsylvania which held a note
of lingering pathos.
The lecture closed. It could not
have ben a lecture as lectures go.
It was rather the poet's hour,
when music and beautiful
thoughts made time seem not.

Interior Decoration
(Om' VOl!ationul 861'i68)
"Interior decoration meanl! th"
use and ~ombination of articles and
lnatel'ials that will make more suit­able,
more beautiful surround­ings."
It means the decoration not
only of the homes but also of the
clubs, theaters, department stores.
hotels. specialty shops, and th~
like. Interior d~oration is an art
lind a business and il! one of the
few career!! in whieh women can
l'Ippl'oximate the financial success
of men.
To be successful one must com­bine
artistic with busiuess ability.
Excellent taste and refinement is
of supreme necessity, and added to
this the decorator must posscss, or
be able to cultivate, a fine sense of
color harmony. This "feeling" for
color is an absolute quali fica tion
necessary; since in the selection of
the furnishings, the wal! decora­tions,
lamps, and ornaments, color
harmony is an important item.
Since one must know how to buy
materials and furniture, how to
estimate the cost of work to be
done,. a good business foundation i6
CSllCntinl. Thc interior decorator
should have a good working knowl­edge
of conll'aets, credits, dis­counts,
banking, costs, and many
other things.
Education and training for a
career as interior decorator in­volves
many things. It is said that
a decorator "must know n little of
cverything and everything about
decorating." Art sch(){lls usually
require that the applicant have a
high school education and they prE'­fer
that they have college wor k.
A cultural background is desirable
and can be gained through travel
or through reading. There are
many very fine art schools which
otfel' excellent courses in interior
d~orating. The d~orator must
know all about drnperies, tapes­tries.
rugs and their history, furni­ture
and fumish ings thst reflect
the historic periods, and the mod­ernistic
trends.
After one has gained the Il<)ces­sal'Y
kno,vledge one must 'gain ex­perience
and npply that knowledge.
Beginners usually must take posi­tions
that are practically appren­ticeships.
Openings csn be found
in the decorating departments of
large department stores and in in­terior
decorating establishments.
The ability to lICll is a valuable as_
set to the young dc.::orator. Sev­eral
years are spcnt in this way
during which the deeorator is C01'1-
stantly lE'arning how to approach
people, how to recognize values,
and where to buy goods before h ~
can branch out for himself.
The opportnnities for interior
decorators are increasing. Therc

and artistic furnishinga, and b~t­tel'
homes are being built with
more monE'Y available for furnish­ing
them. Interior decoration is

THE GLEANER
As It Should Be
(Continued from page 4)
An hour or more later, the
storm had slackened to a drizzle.
Prisci11a was still in the armchair.
Her chin was cupped in her hands,
her eye~ wandering aimlessly over
the carpet. A short, loud knock
at the side door, sent Priscilla out
of her daze, and out of the chair.
She smoothed her dress and patted
her hair ns she went falteringly
toward the door. A faint sparkle
had returned to her eyes and a
br:ghter glow to her cheeks.
She opened the door, and in,
out of the night stepped a short,
stocky, middle aged mnn, en­vcloped
in a heavy overcoat.
He was a travelling salesman he
explained whose car had broken
down in the stm·m. "And would
it be possible, my dear young
lady," he a~ked in his effervescent
way, "to obtain lodging £01' the
night?"
Blushing, Priscilla assented, and
showed him to the d~ning room,
while she hurriedly went to the
kite hen for coffee.
"I must thank you, for your
hospitality, Miss," the stranger
began, after he had drunk well.
"And I must say that you are a
very charming young lady." Pris­cilla
was sitting OPI)osite him, in­cessantly
finge ring the table cover,
and smiling sweetly at his flnttery .
"But what I can't understand,
now that I'm studying you, is why
you stay here. I should think
you'd want to get away from here
and go to the city. It would be
all right for one here for a rcst.
But to live here and hear and see
nothing, why it would be like be­ing
buried alive, I should think.
'Course now maybe you don't feel
that way. Seeing you live here."
Priscilla's face b I' i g h ten e d.
That's just the way I do feel. Why,
I just despise it. Some day I'm
going to leave and go to the city
and believe me, I'll show them
what I can do by myself." And
she gave a defiant nod.
"1 take it that this que.tion hns
been thrashed out before," the
stranger went on.
"Oh yea." And she expatiated
on the ins and outs of th"ngs
generations old. Thus the con­versation
was prolonged into the
small hours of the morning, until
nt last Prisci11a's stifled yawns
made it necessary to bring the
chat to a close. After showing
the gue3t to his room, Priscilla
retired to heros upstairs, where she
spent the remaining hours until
dawn in wakeful and fitful tossing.
With breakfast for the fnmily
over early as usual, Priscilla bus­ied
herself arranging a place in
the dining room, "for the stranger
whose car broke down in the storm
and to whom she had g iven lodg­ing

ventured to say.
"What do you mean, sympa_
thetic?" her mother queried.
"Why-he thinks" a forced
cough coming from the front
rooms, mnde it known that the
overnight guest was up, ready for
his morning repast, of whieh he
pal·took quite alone as Priscilln
most assiduously occupied herself
in household duties, now and then
hurriedly passing through the din­ing
room, evidently on the way to
some new task.
Half an hour later, after giving
recompense. due and above, for
the hospitality shown him, t he
guest was ready for departure.
"And here is my card," he pro­ferred,
as Priscilla stood near the
doorway when he left. "I hope
when you do come to the city you
will let me know and I shall be
glad to help you out."
"Thank you," she answered
ever so quietly, taking the card
and casting a furtive glance to­ward
the kitchen as she closed the
door.
Priscilla spent part of that day
in t he doing of her regular house­hold
task. The rest of the time
she passed up in hcr room, select­ing
certain articles which she care­fully
packed into a suitcase.
Soon came the twilight with its
abiding peace and then the dark
night. Priscilla sat beside the
table in her room and by the light
of her oil lamp, dropped the money
that she had counted and re­counted,
into an old leather pouch.
Thcn she looked at the clock on
her dressing table, put on her hat
and coat, looked in the mirror,
went to the door, opened it and
leaned forward slightly. Her eyes
were wide She bit the corner of
her mouth vigorously. Then she
stepped back into her room. p:cked
up the su'tcase, gave one last
glance into the mirror and after
t urning the lamp low, stealthily
groped her way down the stai rs,
out into the night.
There was no moon. Priscilla
stumbled along the uneven, dusty
road. Breathless she boarded the
train at the nearby s top and
leaned back in the softness of the
seat. She was bound for the big
city.
• • • • • •
It was now fully two months
since Priscilla had come to the
city, and since her arrival she had
made her home in a mode3t little
room in one of the less pretentious
houses on the East side. And
every morning for the pnst two
months she started out early, to
canvass the bU l: ne ~~ sections . At
this place they needed "absolutely
no one," at another only the "ex­perienced."
At most places it was
Priscilla's woe-begone expression
(Continued on page 7)

The mirror reflected the soft
waves in her curly brown head as
she sat before her dressing tablc
with her head resting on her arms.
Her small body quivered and her
sobs broke the silencE' of the 1'00111.
Gradually they lessened and finnlly
with a prolonged sigh she raised
her tear-stained face as the gentle
warm bree7.e through the open win­dow
caressed her fevered brow and
flushed cheek. Shc stared vacantly
until the sight of her swollen eyes
in the mirror startled her back to
consciousness.
"Oh, it seems as if everything is
going wrong," she sighed half au­dibly.
"And nothing will ever turn
out right." And once more thc
tears began.
Some minutes later she quieted
herself, and noting the intensified
flush and swollennesa, got up,
bathed and creamed her face, and
used he" powder puff to its best
advantage. Ten minutes later a
casual observer would never hnve
guessed that the trim little figurc
strutting down the strcct hud been
only a short time before in such a
sad predicament. She seemed calm
and composed, but her appearance
only concealed the aching of a
troubled heart. The spring air re­f
reshed her but could not console
her and coming to the end of hcr
short walk she was disconsolate
and weary as she mounted thO)
thl'cc stone steps of the imposing
edifice.
The tranquil silcnce within was
broken only by her soft h'ead as
she walked slowly down the aisle,
and knelt at the foot of the Blessed
Mother's Shrine.
"Oh, Mary, my Mother, help
me!" she implored.
"Remember, 0 most pious Virgin
Mary that no one ever hnd re­course

There was just one really big
thought uppermost in Brad'B mind
that Monday morning as he sat
down in the third chair of a neat
row that lined the wall and made
an honest effort to appear non­chalant
and at ease. The thought
which obsessed him all of a sud­den
wall the somewhat $hOl:king
realization that actually applying
for one'll first job was a lot differ­ent
from one's dreams of securing
a fint "position." For lifter all
it was a "position" that Brad
wanted and not a job. And sud­denly
u Brad looked about him
he WIIS relieved that none of the
old college crowd was around to
see him taking third place in thllt
employment line . "Employment
line"-why the very phrnse made
him shudder. His friends would
have expected Brad to be up in
that fint chair. Of course, after
all, the third is only two below
the fint . But hehind it all it
wasn't the idea of the place at a1\.
Why should Brad worry if he
were lit the end. Any employer
could !ee at a glance t hat he had
more to offer than any of the
other men in t he now steadily
inc reasing line. Hadn't he been
senior president at college, a gen­erol
leader in all student activities
and undoubtedly the outstanding
figure on the campus for the last
two years? Hadn't he made the
best fraternity without any diffl·
culty lit all? Of eourlle he had.
He was not the type to brag about
it but he had, nevertheless, and it
is olways well to summon up one'll
courage by a brief survey of one's
own usetll before trying to im.
press another with them. Brad
had read that somewhere; that
and a lot of other thi ng~ he was
about to put into practice, that
is, just liS soon as nine o'clock
came and the employment man·
agel' had finished with number
one and two.
Now, as I have said before, it WAi
not the idea of having third place
in that line that irritated Brad;
[t wa! the very idea of the line
itself. Somehow a waiting line,
even iI chairs were provided, had
never entered into Brad'lI can·
ception of getting his first job. It
had never been quite clellr to him
just how he thought the first step
would be taken but he was lIure
it was not to have been this way
There had been a faint aU$picion
in his mind that undoubtedly after
the flattering not:ce of his grodu­aUon
had apvcared in the local
daily, there might be 0 phone call
or even several phone caUs inquir_
ing about his plans for the future
and proposing possible 'positions'
I for him. Two months had pa!llled
but t he phone calls were still all
' of a very light nature-friends
wanting this or that. So Brad had
decided to discontinue the tele·
fine." And the very plain face

It had been a glorious decision
and once arrived at, he had begun
in the usual systemat'c manner by
purchasing a newspaper and turn.
ing at once to the full page ads.
Here Brad sought hi. "worlds to
conquer." That was one of hill
favorite phrase_probably be­cause
of the casual atatement in
the senior year book after Brad's
name - something about "new
worlds which IllY before him to
conquer." Merely a general ob­servation
but it did sound 80 well.
It was nearly nine o'clock. That
book on lIuccess had stressed
promlltness, aomething new for
Brad who had never reported on
time for class during his entire
four yean; in college nut then
he was starting a new life and he
was doing it right. The line surely
was growing. They were begin­ning
to provide the other wall
with ehain now. Brad began to
reali:..e that some of this current
Unemployment talk really was
serious. And then suddenly he
waa struck with an overwhelming
feeling of sympathy for nll thele
men who had gotten up ellrly to
npply for this job and who were
probably right now each one of
them sitting there on his chair
eagerly hoping that he would be
the lucky one. Of course they
didn't know that he, lIi ttin&, here
on the third chair, was Bradley
Whittemore, honor graduate that
J une; for if they did know, they
would surely not waste their time
waiting. They could be getting
t heir place in some other employ­ment
line where there would be
no such person as himaelf . Of
course they could probably te ll to
look at him that he wa! different
-that something that you can't
ju~t define but which culture and
training inevitably leave in their
wake. That was what Brad felt
to be emanating from him this
morning. And it lIure was a bad
break for those other fellows, nice
felloW! too, probably, but just
wanting in some essential.
Take the one next to him for
instance, 'Number Two,' Brad
designated him in his mind. Just
II common ordinary mnn was nil
you could say for hi m. He looked
as though he had always taken
life much too seriously. As a
matter of fact, he had probnbly
had to, probably had a wife and
family, but why wear your con­ditions
so obviously! That was
one thing Brod would never do.
But then Brad's conditions would
be different. Bellides that, the
mnn's suit was obviously worn, no
particular character to his clothell
- ju3t plain. The world was full
of fcllows like that who just go
through life getting a bad deal be·
cause they lacked the ])restige to

who had been busy in the corner
for some minutes nodded for
Number One to go into the inner

minutes now. Suddenly, Brad felt
awfully patronizing tow a r d s
everyone in the room, probably a
by-product of his sympathy at
their comi ng misfortune. Any­way
he decided to open conver­sntion
with one of his neighbors.
Alter glancing at both he decided
t hat Number Two was the best
bet, the plain_looking man, but $t

Number Four looked a bit unap­proachable
with his face buried in

dill' visiting Germany'l most his­toric
and romantic spoh, Mr.
Untermeyer's book wm be n fo,·e­tllste
of this magic land, where
castles gaze down Crom lofty
crags, where beautiful vine-clsd
hills slope down to the shorl)3 of
a lovely river, and where quaint
villages lie snugly in somber, pine
covered valleys.
The writer has II piquant, facile
style, and an aptnellll of descri p~
lion t hat brings one cio!e to the
intensity of beauty which envelops
the entire countryside, and ac·
quaints one with the people-the·r

Bradley Whittemore was to have
his chance, the one he had been
waling for, not just this morning
since nine o'clcek but all his life­time,
or 10 he thought. He rose
confidently and strode toward the
door with a firm step. He looked
up to smile a sympathetic, under_
standing smile at Number Two,
but saw in the doorway a tall well­built
man with steel.gray hair,
keen, piereing eyes and n genial
look. Why the employment man­ager
had come out to the waiting­room
to meet him! Brad atep-ped
forward to shllke hands.
"I'm sorry, Gentlemen, to have

be quite unfair to kcep you wait­ing

Mr. Brown, whom I am now inter_

I'm only lOrry that I haven't a job

And the door of the inner office
closed with II click behind him.
Brad Ilicked up his hat and
walked out into the open air. He
bl·enthed deepl~'. It had been
frightfully stuffy in t hat room, so
many persons crowded in, and all
kinds of persons too. He hailed
a neW!!boy.
"Got the 'Morning Herald'!
Fine. Keep the change lind treat

He turned east. no, he'd go
