CUR ABSENT TEACHERS AND
MEMBERS"
Miss Mary McFadden, class '95,
speaking on the above beautlIul toast
said: IT,
ITO a subject so inspiring as that
of tba absent members, feel 1t lar
beyond my powers to do it justice IN
an hour. 1t would take volumes 10
adequately express their virtues ana
achievements, and to record thelr
deeds. I am reminded of a certain pup
lie speaker who, upon speaking pelore
an audience, knowing his tendency to-
ward an overflow of language, asked
in a. pompous way, What shall l talk
about2' A voice from the rear called
OUT very promptly, Talk about min
ute So. my dear friends, this is what
7 will do-talk about mlnute-then
make way for one more worthy than
T How many hours it would take to
recall again the many happy Incl
dents of our school daysi Would that
we all could be together again; but
what a vain wish. Those that played
many an hour, away are strayed, some
laughing in the cheerful sun, some
sighing in the shade. and one has
turned and laid her down where dark
ened shadows fall.
Here's to our absent members who
have chosen the better part; to them
within the halloWed shades of the
sanctuary, there waiting the incense
of prayer and devotion above to Gods
throne. What joy for us to know that
We are named in their prayers. What
we have lost in the sister we have
gained in the intercesson and adora-
ton that constantly ascends to God,
when they mingle together in the
chapel of their convent home when all
the world is still. Here's to our brides!
May their lives be like unto a rose, of
which each day is petal to be sue
ceeded by one of greater beauty.
Here's to the girls, who though far
away tonight, are here in spirit. They,
too, are thinking of the good old days
of school life, which was but a stage,
in which we then rehearsed for the real
life
I'VE believe in deeds, not years;
In thoughts, not figures on a deal.
We should count time by heart-throbs.
He lives who thinks most,
Feels the noblest,
Acts the best"
THE OLD SCHOOL DAYS"
Miss Nora Gleason, class 81, respond
ed to the above toast in the following:
In a letter received a short time ago
from a former teacher of st. Marys |
was the following sentence:
- Hi
about the old girls! where they are
and what they are doing!" So at one !
of the recent meetings of our associa- |
ton I was instructed to prepare a /
short" paper, telling about THE Old !
Girls of the Old Days" AT first | re- |
garded the assignment as a comph- /
ment, until one of the members (and /
oy the way one of my own class, Said, |
'Oh, Nora is the one for that, she has /
so much gab.' My spirits and conceit |
sank accordingly. Another one said,
Write as you talk" This may be all
tight, providing that Sister Geraldine !
never reads this article. She will prob
ably wonder how it was that Nora
Gleason ever won a prize for compost
ion and good English while in her
class many years ago. The memories
If years are dancing in my brain, car
'ying me whittier 1 will or not. Mem
,ries softened and subdued of the past,
With it's events, and stranger still, its
lctualities came before me. What
vide world is made of the past. A
sacred, rich and tender world, Tender
md true are the loving memories and
affections for the dear teachers and
riends of the old time. But this is
enough moralizing. I have to tell all
Lbout the old girls of this institution

lified eX-president says. Well, 1 will
