Last. but not least. let me mention
our retiring president, Marie Luce. In
the old days she was the pride Of the

She is still their pride. st. Marys
Alumnae will never have d presiden-
who will be more popular or better
liked than Marie.

sister Maudwina will remember all the
old girls mentioned herel There is not
heaven too glorious and happy for
those Sisters, whom every st. Marys
girl will remember until life's closing

the sympathy of those two dear ones

with tear-Stained faces, red eyes and
redder noses. but would always return
by way of the kitchen or dining room
Sister Martha or Sister Maudwiua
would meet US with, Come here, hon

would receive from the dear busy hands

teachers. We have all seen our share
of life's trials and responsibilities, but
those stages in life have to come to us
all. Let us win our way bravely anI
fearlessly to Him, in whom alone is
found all love, tenderness and purity.

appreciated.
Rev. Father Kiely. Rev. Father Cur

sic Ashton of the class of 'O1 were the
other invited guests. Mr.. Kinney rep
resented his two daughters, Misses
Dora and Mary Kinney, who belong to-
the Alumnae, but are now visiting in
the East. Mr.. Kinney responded in a
very witty strain to a toast proposed
by Rev. Father Kelly. during the even
ing, and his remarks caused much mer-
riment. Previous to the banquet, each
member of the association was present
ed with handsome gold souvenir
spoon. the gift of Sister Superior.
An informal reception was held IN
til a late hour, the moments swiftly
passing, in gay chat with the dear
teachers and old friends.
The years pass on. with their sum
mer blossoms, and winter SHOWS and
around our dear old school untold low
ing memories hover. Until life's fitfu
dream is over, and death seals the
eyes forever, grateful love and prayer
for st. Mary's academy and the cher
ished sanity inmates will remain fer
vent and true in the hearts of all the
"old girls"
