(From the First Seniors Year Book,
19O4-5.)
| Come back with me to bright Septen1-
Der,
The seventh, as we all remember,
| When from vacations rest and play,
To the dear old School-home we bent
our way.
Greeting with joy each well-known
And happy once more in the dear old
place.
Soon all the pupils, large and small,
Assembled in the study hall,
To meet and welcome with hearts sins
Cere,
Our new superior-and just here,
With loves silver bell notes and graft
tude's chimes,
We echo those welcomes. a thousand
times!
When our serious duties we had begun,
We found there was little chance for
Although when we went out into the
yard
For botanical work, twas not half so
hard
One Monday brought us a great sur
prise,
A change we all deemed very wise,
For instead of the weekly points as be-
fore,
Once a month we received our class
merits score.
October then came with its privileges
rare,
The first of which was a trip TO the
fair
Great was our pleasure one of those
days,
To hear Mr.. warde rehearse Shakes
peare's plays.
The artists on st. Luke's day had a
feast;
And 10! their number suddenly in
creased.
All! their hospitality we cannot for
get,
Yes, that dear afternoons a sweet
memory yet.
Next day we went to Barratt hail.
Where Warde was again enjoyed by
Soon this month fulfilled it's perfect
round,
With Halloween play and masked ball
crowned.
Thus October's golden days were spent,
And with Rosary graces we trust they
are blent.
LOUISE M'HUGH.

November first, of nineteen four,
All Saints day opens wide your door,
feast belonging to us all,
Unless from Gods grace we should
fall.
Then the Poor Souls" our prayers en-
list,
With pity that must e'er persist.
o-at l1ot,
Their Alma Mater with hearts love-
bound.
st. Cecelia's feast, it came to pass,
That we all attended a grand high
mass,
And that afternoon was made full glad,
BY a candy pull-an old-time fad;
And each enjoyed her tarfy brown.
More than if it came from away down.
town.
Then all other affairs were thrown in
the shade,
Till the jubilee exercises were made.
Our next great treat was Sousa's band,
grand.
Then pictures of the school were taken,
Turning out good despite the shakin';
For by the time the spot was chosen,
Our heads and feet were almost frozen.
Thanksgiving was a gala day;
And that night the juniors gave play.
December came with date to spare,
Miss Babcock and Monsieur Beaucaire.
Then examination had its time,
When our courage scared to heights
sublime;
And with two or three books under
each arm,
We studied-and prayed to escape all
harm.
When these ordeals all were safely DER
Kind Father Roeser stepped to the
door,
And invited the seniors out that eve
To see how All Hallows boys receive.
OF course we returned the compliment
And invitations gladly sent
To our next affair. the Christmas play,
Thus the school time happily glided
away,
And the -looked-for holidays came
at last:
But they, too, were soon a thing of the
past.
January brought us together again:
And the chronicler takes up her pen
Two great privileges to record:
The Symphony concert we could not
afford
To omit, nor yet the beautiful voice
OF Melba. singer of the wide-world's
choice.
Thus far, our year we've sung in rhine,
SO well bid you adieu till some other
time.
