Mission Day
Is a Success
Despite the faet that a severe
downpour of rain made t he con­ducting
of booths on the lawn
impossible, the annual MiS.'!ion
Day of Nazareth College which
was celebrated on Tuesday, May
19th, was a social and financial
succeS.'!. The various booths con·
ducted by the different cla58es
were supported by generous dona·
tions, and patronized with equal
generoaity.
The new feature, a supper
se rved from 5:30 to 7:30 P. M.,
Willi a decided attraction and was
attended by a more than utili­factory
number of guests. During
the afternoon, features of enter­tainment
were talks on missionary
life in China by several well
known speaken and missionaries
to the Far East. An exhibit 01
Hindu, Chinese, and , American
Indian art, consisting of objects
loaned by Sibley, Lindsay &; CUrr
Co., The Rochester Museum of
Arts and Sciences, The Memor ial
Art Gallery, and several private
collections, proved most interest­ing
besides lending "miS!!ion at­mosphe
re." The exhibit waa
splen didly arranged by Catherine
Williamson .
In the evening, dancing to the
strains of Frank Skultety'll Orches­tra
in the auembly and cards in
the social room were enjoyed.
We look forward with pleuure
to a nother Miu ion Day-as we
know those who attended this year
will-and to another opportunity
to aid in the marvelous work of
our zealous a.p-os"tle's- i.n other lands. PRESS BUREAU ELECTIONS

We Say Goodbye
It is hard to believe that the year hu flown by
110 quickly and that we, the present stalf' of "The
Gleaner," are about to beeome aneient hinory as
this lut i!l$ue goes to pre!l$. Cares, worries.
puzzled expre!l$iona over a column t hat just won't
end right, all vaniah like storm clouds on an other­wise
sunny horizon and we face the summer quite
Ught-heartedly. We've enjoyed our work and have
gained rrom it the rich el<:perience and the genuine
pleanre that joy in work can give.
The faculty and Sister Teresa Marie, our Dean,
hnve been our staunch advocates and l upportenl;
and the student body has made its co-operation
manifest on 1IC0rea of occasions. To our Faculty
Adviser we owe an endle!l$ debt of gratitude for
her never-failing enthusiasm. her kindly criticism,
and valuable luggestions. Although her duties aTe
numerous and complicated, she has always found
time to help us, and we appreciate it tremendously.
We also wish to thank lIIr. Burns, our printer, for
his kindly interest.
Once more we thank you all, and wish you the
most pleasant or vacations. And $O-happy days
ahead!
To the Seniors
Sometimes farewella can be a most unpleasant
duty. This is OM of thOlle times; for in little marc
tllan a week, we will have seen the Class of 1931
receive t heir degrees, ano will have heard "Sal uta­mus"
sung once more with the Seniors standing
before us one last time before becoming Alumnae
of Natsreth College. Yet we are not saying fare­well
to them permanently. As Alumnae they will
8till be linked to U8, to their Alma Mater, with the
bonds of love and loyalty, the inseparable bonds
that mean lidelity to a standard and carrying the
banner high.
Our Senior Class has a goal to reach out there,
and we know t he hturels to be won. There will be
prizes, the str iving for which will be difficult. but
success lies shead and we know only too well the
suceess before God and man which we have learned
in our college days. It will not be necellllllrily
material gain, but gain of the spirit, the achieve­ment
of an end which lin beyond t he st.ars, but
which is tangible, not elusive.
It is difficult, almost impossible to say goodbye.
We say it with the amendment: "Good luck and
God ble!!S you!" May the Seniol'!! go forward to
TH k: GLEANER
unceasing victory, t rue to the ideals of Natsreth.
In that lies the happineu which we aU wish them.
'Ind the joy which we hope will be theirs forever.
We Welcome Summe r
We tingle with a pleasant rcalization. It is sum·
mer which awaits us and sl owl~' infuses its spirit
into the Spring air, causing the proverbial fever
among us, toiling mortals.
It isn't that we do not appreciate our education
or delight in college life, but a summer vacation
looks rllther well to us and we slowly rise up in
our 8c hola ~tic seat of learning to stretch, and sink
back with a pleasant feeling of a change ahead,
m:nus the looming aspect of examinations.
There are various way. in which the arrival of
summer i ~ fully impressed upon students. In our
daily ramble back and forth to classes. no longer
do we feel like an outsider to the homes we pasa
but the sound of voices and t he IICre~hing radios
which vie with each other, make us feel that the
world is a much more entertaining place to live
in during the WarmCr Sellson thnn during the chilly
Winter.
But, then look what we have nhead of us! The
long aummer days when we espeeiaily delight in
swimming, golf, tennis and motoring. Some of us
will take advantage of the long vacat:on and find
useful occupal:ona to combine with Bummer plea&­ures.
PerhulIS, this is the wisCJIt plan to adopt and
after our work for the day is done we can enjoy
a dip into the rolling waves of Lake Ontario and
even delight in the el<:cited cry of "Fore" as a ba!i
whines by our ear.
Perhaps, one of the "thorns" in the "rose" or
anticipat:ng the Summer il the "Adieu" we must
make to our Seniors. Next year, they won't be
here, but we will remember them and welcome
them with open :lrms should they re-visit their col­lege
sisters.
In the manner in which the well-known orchestra
leader concludes the announcements of his selec­fons,
"I hope you like it," we sincerely hopc that
you will enjoy your summcr vacation and return
to your Alma Mater next year with renewed ~eBt.

An Appreciation
Two yeau ago the Class of 1933 stood on the
t hre~ h old of their college career Now we are
nearing our Junior Year and the thought upper.
most in our m'nds is the realization or what au:
Big Sisters mean to us. They are Seniors and will
leave Nazareth ;n June, but they have endeared
themselves to us, and our memories of collegc day~
will always be centered around t hem.
At the J un·o:·-Freshmen house party we were
cordiallY welcomed as Little Silten; at Stella Mari.
we lint became acquainted with gi rls who were
loyal nnd true blue representativCB of our future
Alma Mater. fo'or those who looked forward rnther
diffidently to " college education, that is to a dull
routine of ~tudy . these young ladies were an in·
centive. Our 3'g Sisters portruycd graphic pictures
or what real rfe at Nazareth College would be like;
with its intere3ting claS!les, its .oo:al activities, and
its clubs We arrived on the Campus, alive with
encri"~' and thankful that the Cla!lll of 1931 were
our Big Sisten.
During our Freshmen Year, the JuniaI'!! were
wonderful.
As Sophomore~, we have been brought into close
association with the ever generous spirit of the
Scn!ors; in the midst of their busy programs they
have never forgotten their Uttle Sisters. We have
just received word that we will be honored on Clas.l
Day. s'nce the Class of 1933 hll3 been sel~ted to
carry the Daisy Chain.
We u~' farewell with the deepest regret,-we
wish you. our Big Siaten, evcr succ{'$s and happi­ness
You will always lingcr in our memor ies a~
our first and dearest f riends at Nazareth College.

saw many Nazllreth girls in Buf­falo
to "give II toast to the college

Anne Fenneasy, '31, and Pauline
lIenneuy, '31, ably representing
us in a debate against SlIrah Ellen
Mund~e, '31, lind Madeline Carroll,
'31 of D'Youville.
Although the affirmative Bide
upheld by tha O'Youville girlB con­tending
"that modern advertising
a! it is now carried on is both
socially lind economiClIlly harm­ful,"
was Bucceasful, Nazareth can
well be proud of her spokesmen.
The enthusiasm and zeal on the
lIart of all contestants were
remarkable and swayed t he audi­ence
into the wme mood. In fact,
it was only with difficulty that the
judges could agree upon the win­ning
lIide. Nazareth was not with­out
her votes!
We liked the debate; we're not
IIshamed of defeat after a "good
fight;" and we look forward to
many more contests. May we also
thank the Faculty and student
body of D'Youvilie for the kind
hospitality with which all the girls

"Dad, I' ll get it." and Jack
scooted from the living room so
fast thllt he was already at the
kitchen door before his . fllthcr
could answer.
"Well, you can help, old boy."
But Jack was down the staiu by
thia time, and when his father got
down, he had already picked up
several lIieces of wood.
It had been a miserably rainy
day and quite cool too for the fint
week in June, so that the house
was a bit damp and chill after
the rain had finally stopped. It
therefore requircd very little coax­ing
on Jack's purt that evening
after dinner before his dad con­sented
to build II fire. Moreover,
they an loved to sit around the
open fireplace and watch the
flames Icap and play around the
logs. The assent from his dad was
the renson for Jack's dash down
the stain.
The wood was brought up and
it was a very short time before
the IImall chip3 began to crackle
and the flames did leap and play
as always and the family took
their favorite places.
What a picturc--beside an open
fireplace! Jack had drawn the
small footstool up dose to the
hearth ; his dad was comfortably
settled in the depths of an eallY
chair, ~mok ing hill pipe and read­ing
the news with the aid of a
!of~ shaded bridge lamp. Little
five_year_old Sis had cuddled up
close to her mother on the daven­port,
and every few minutes the
mother's glance would stray from
her embroidery lind she would
smile into the large blue eyes of
the curly head that had finally
rested on her knee.
Pesce! Contentment! Happi­neu
! A r eal home where love
held sway. Love of husband and
wife, of father and mother, of SOil
and daughter, of brothcr and sis­ter-
but most of all divine love,
for enshrined above the fireplace
was the picture of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. There was the
answer-the Source or all love;
.. Heart burning with love and
tenderne!l!5, and arms outstretched
to be:l!tow ih blessings and peace.
Here was a family consecrated to
the Sacred Hcart of J eBus. They
had not forgotten Him ; He would
never forget them. --- And what about us? June is
the month of the Sacred Heart.
H we wcre true children of Mary
and honored her with slIecial de­votions
during May, ought we not
more particularly honor t he
Seered Heart during the coming
month! Love and be loved by the
lIOurce of all lovc--the Sacred
Heart of Je ~ us.
Like it, lind Coffee for Ounclln.
We wish to ext!!nd our apprecia­tion
and thanks tfo the Freshmen
for a most enjO)'nble afternoon.

"MAY IN OXFORD"
E le .... or Dow .. i",
The current i$Sue of "The
Catholic World" contains an
article entitled, "May in Oxford,"
by Eleanor Downing. It is a . p.en
picture, painted with. an exquISIte
touch, of that charmmg old·young
city of Oxford.
Mi$S Downing catchu the true
spirit of Engliah university life;
the days spent in study and refer·
ence work, the occuional Sunday
afternoon holidays ~pent in tramp­ing
over field or through woods,
or in visiting the ancient ruin. of
monastaries and churches, grim
historic monuments of bygone
ages which dot the country side
of England. "May in Oxford"
offers a diversity of pleasures. One
can spend houn in visiting the col­lege
gardena where white, yellow,
and purple crocus and glistening
$nowdropl are quickly succeeded
by star-eyed daisYI, golden daffo·
dils and velvety wall flowe", which
in turn give way to the lunny
jonquils, varl-colored hyacintha,
and paper white narci$S1. One
can have afternoon tea at the de­lightful
little ahops or attend the
cricket-matches or the boat raCH.
"The chee,e stands alone,
The cheese stands alone,
Heigh-o! the cherry-oh!
The cheese stands alone."
How horribly the piping voices
of the children pounded on Ellen
Mae's ears! For she was "the
cheese." to her supreme mortifi_
cation . 0, how very terrible! Hot
tea" filled Ellen Mae's eyes brim­full,
and threatened to overflow.
She suddenly burgt through the
ring of encircling arms of her
classmates, and ran back to the
classroom five m inute~ before
recess period ended.
Ne.ver before in al1 the two
yean of hcr school life. had she
been 50 insulted; and by Julie too.
That's what made it 80 unbear­able.
Julie had always chosen
EJlen Mae for the "farmer's wife"
when t hy played "Farmer in the
Dell ." But now she had been
taken last.
"The rat takes t he chee.e," and
she was the "cheese" that stood
alone,
Julie did it deliberately too; so
ahe did "On purpose," Ellen
Mae told heMleif, "just 1-0 she
could choose the new girl."
Ellen Mae slipped far down in
her bench, 10 that only the little
pink bow on top of her curly red
hair was visible; and sat staring
at her primer, not caring at all
that the book was upside down.
It made it harder to read the
words that way, and stopped the
tears Crom coming.

touch, the power to transport us

Julie by depriving her of "my

"Julie wouldn't care about that
at all, 'cause she c .. n tell such
funny stories, she doesn't need
toys," she reflected gloomily.
Through the whole reading les­son
Ellen was forming her plan
of revenge, so that when Miss
Carey lIIid, "Ellen Mae, plea!e

find the place at all. The repri­mand
that followed this inatten­lion

does," IIhe thought gleefully
"Thcn she will walk to IIChool with
me, and I won't go with Julie any­more;
I won't even speak to her,
that's what I'll do."
As loon as t he bell r .. ng for

f rom her place, and quickly ran
up besidc Marjorie, because every­one
wanted to walk with the "new
girl."
"1'11 walk home with you,

Marjorie I miled sedately, and
together they walked out of the

"Ask your mother If you Can

very deliberately as they passed
Julie, and she turned up ber pert
little nose.
• • • •
"Ellen, mother $aid I may come
over a fter !Chool," Marjorie called
as the children were assembling
for class that afternoon.
The look of unhappy surpr ise
on Julie's face assured Ellen Mae
that Julie had heard her.
"She needn't think she Clln come
around me either; I won't h .. ve

The three o'clock bell lor di ..
