Rev. P. NJ. Cushnahan, with his well
known generosity, gave the students Of
Sacred Heart pleasant outing in the
form of matinee party last Saturday
AFTERNOON. The merry crowd returned
home all vieing in the praises of their
ever true and faithful friend
The graduates were put to a monthly
| test in ancient history on Thursday and
Friday afternoons. The result showed
research on their part
Last Friday afternoon the members
of the fourth preparatory class gave
an interesting recital of the life and
works of the writer whom they have
been studying the past months, Ade-
laide Proctor.
one of the most enjoyable events of
the season was the unique Halloween
party given Friday evening at Sacred
Heart academy by the class of 1910.
The rooms set apart for the festivitiy
were artistically decorated in the class
colors, white and gold, which at the
same time seemed most appropriate for
the occasion. JACKIE Lanterns and nu-
merous japanese lights cast a warm,
mellow through the Weird-like glow.
The main feature fof the evenings en-
tertainment was the mystical stunt
ball. AS yard after yard of the orange
cord was unrolled it disclosed various
and often ridiculous directions for per-
formances to be executed by those as
sembled. Much excitement was caused
by the interesting guessing games, and
the minimS were kept occupied by Won
derful trips to the fishing pond until
each had received a gift from the
witches and gobblings. AS the evening
wore on the happy party repaired to the
dining room, where a delicious lunch
con was served. Then followed the
drawing for the grand prize, in which
Carmen Kechler, senior, and Catherine
Tyler junior, were the lucky winners.
Dancing closed the evning's njoyionort
Dacing closed the evenings enjoyment,
and as the last strains of Home, Sweet
Home" died away many tired but hap
py girls sought Sunderland" David
Hamilton, father of Edna Hamilton, a
member of class 1910, was an honored
guest
Monday morning Mr.. briggs of the
state school for the deaf and blind, in
vited the pupils of Sacred Heart aca-
denny to visit the institution. After a
wonderful exhibition in the gymnasium
and sight of the carpenters and shoe
makers Shops, the visitors repaired to
the different class rooms, where they
heard short recital of the daily work
of these well-provided for, though af-
f1icted, children. On their return home
each maiden, young and old, was muir
muring a heartfelt prayer of thanks
giving that she had the use of those
seemingly necessary senses.
After the joy of merrymaking of Hal
loween, the first shadow of the year
was cast over the school when Agnes
Kennedy of class 1910. was called home
by the sudden death of her father. who,
by stepping in front of No. passenger
train as it was hurrying into the city
Saturday morning, was killed instantly
in Rawlfns, Wyo. The hearts of her
friends at Sacred Heart, but especially
her classmates, are with her in this be-
reavement. Tears and prayers have
been mingled with thoughts of her
since the sad accident.
Tuesday morning, by request of the
graduates, mass was offered in the con-
vent chapel for the repose Of Mr. Ken
nedy'S soul. The members of the class
1910 received holy communion. Miss M.
Krauss presided at the organ, while
Misses Hamilton and McNulty, assisted
by the other members of the class.
Misses Mckennon, Clause and Jack
man sang very soulful, tender hymns.
Each heart felt the deep significance of
the power of prayer and the consola-
ton it brings to sorroWing, sympa-
thetic hearts.
