SENIORS AND ALUMNI
HAVE FUN At BANQUET
Commencement Week Closes with a
jolly Spread at the Hotel
kennewick

kenneWlck
AS fitting fnis to the festivities
of commencement week, the Alumni
Association celebrated the addition
of the class of 1911 to their number,
by a banquet at the Kennewick
Hotel, Saturday evening. The din
ing room was made most attractive
by the artistic arrangement of ferns,
potted plants and cut flowers. With
covers laid for forty guests, the
tables and their appointments pre-
sented a picture of good cheer and
hospitable fellowship to the Seniors.
The menu was of six courses and
t he dinner served reflects great credit
upon the hotel management and
chef.
Supt. M. S. Lewis, as POSTMASTER
of the evening kept up a fire of
witticism and the good cheer and
fun which characterized the occasion
were largely due to to his talents as
humorist.
Prolonged applause greeted the
first toast of the evening which was
a clever poem Of twelve verses,
written and delivered by Miss
Velikanje, who devoted stanza of
rhyme to each member of the class.
Miss Bernice Griffith followed
with toast to the absent few and
in few words expressed the senti-
ments of all present toward the
absent friends and schoolmates
whose memories still live in their
hearts.
"reminiscences" by Miss Nina
Hoadley recalled many of the events
of the past years and the ghosts of
other days were summoned to the
feast, bringing just the shadow Of
sadness with the thought that they
could never live again.
Miss Wetmore responded with
"The Future for Some of Us",
which purported to be a letter writ
ten by Miss James in the course of
her travels over the Northwest in
1921. In this many of the prom
inent personages, who at present
are important figures in life in High,
we're ludicrously portrayed, engaged
in their future occupations. Miss
Wetmore herself was in an institu-
ton for hopeless lunitics, her insan-
ity caused by endeavoring to teach
the Kennewick high school pupils,
music. G. F. Richardson, accord
ing to her prophesy will not be con-
tented with local fame but is des-
tined to become mayor OF Seattle.
Miss Paul an ornament to her posi-
ton as instructress in a dancing
academy in the middle west. Geo.
Williams had sought seclusion from
the public eye by becoming a hermit
and devoting his life to writing
poetry. The rare talents of Supt.
Lewis were centered upon the scien-
tific management of a chicken ranch
in California.
Mr.. Groom addressed the guests
on THE Greater Kennewick High
School" and in his talk, the humor
which characterizes him was tinged
with the serious in painting a bril-
liant future for the schools and
scholars of the city.
After the many affectionate trib-
utes which were paid to the old
school which has been the scene of
so many trials and tribulations, not
to mention the joys and victories,
the alumni extended their con-
gratulations and God Speeds to
the class of 1911 and "the meeting
was adjourned" until 1912 when
the May sunshine will again draw
them together to do the honors for
lanOther Senior Glass.

THE CHILDRENS HOUR.
THE CITY COUSIN.

He's my own cousin, Mamma says;
but my! he's awful green!
Because he's always lived in town and
so he hasn't seen
So very many things He said he
never MIXED a COW,
And all the grass he ever saw was in
a yard till now!
He never gathered roasting ears, and
it's the first time he
Threw up a stick to knock down nuts
and ate 'em off the tree!
And he he don't know where honey
grows and he never learned to
swim!
My! would hate to be that old and
not know more than him!
When he is home there amt creek
and so he never goes
A-fshing, and he hasn't got suit of
real old clothes.
The kind you have to have to fish;
and he says he can't go
Barefoot with us because the grass
and weeds would hurt his toe!
He won't chew slippery ellum bark
or beeswax; he's afraid
Of it because he told us that he don't
know how it's made;
And he won't dig up angle worms be-
cause they wiggle so;
I never saw the place he lives, but
my! it must be slow!

terms! Please show me the way to
DR.. Dean's!"
Ned and Ralph hurried along the
street. Very soon they saw lady
standing under tree.
IT am a visitor In the village" she
said. "This is the first time have
been out after dark, and it is the dark
est dark ever saw. have gone to
DR.. Deans often in the daytime, but
here I am lost right in the middle of
a street! You don't know how glad
I was to see these merry shining
faces bobbing along toward me-
1--WE will show you the way" cried
Ned and Ralph. So they walked a
short distance with the lady, and,
turning corner, pointed out the little
red light in front of Dr. Deans door.
She thanked them both and babe
them good night on the doorstep.
Then Ned and Ralph ran home to tell
their story. Everybody laughed and
declared that such pumpkins as these
we're even more helpful than those
made into pies.
When papa came from the city with
his camera, he took a picture of Ned's
JACKIE Lantern, and now whenever
Ned opens his eyes in the morning he
sees beside his bed the jolly face of
Helpful Jack.

BENEDlcTIoN.

I need hardly observe to you, my
brothers, that Benediction of the Bles-
sed Sacrament is one of the simplest
rites of the church, writes Cardinal
Newman. The priests enter and kneel
down; one of them unlocks the taber-
nacle; takes out the Blessed Sacra-
ment; inserts 1t upright in mon
STRANGE of precious metal and sets it
in conspicuous place above the al
tar in the midst of lights for all to
see. The people then begin to sing:
meanwhile the priest twice offers in
cense to the King of Heaven, before
whom he is kneeling. Then he takes
the monstrance in his hands and turn
ing to the people blesses them with
the Most Holy in the form OF cross,
while the bell is sounded to call at
tention to the ceremony.
It is our Lords solemn benediction
of His people as when he lifted up His
hands over the children, or when He
blessed His chosen ones, when He
assembled from Mt Olivet. AS sons
might come before parent before
going to bed at night, so once or twice
a week the great Catholic family
comes before the Eternal Father, after
the hustle and toll of the day, and He
smiles upon them and sheds upon
them the light of His countenance.
1t is full accomplishment of what the
priest invoked upon the Israelites:
"The Lord bless thee and keep thee
and have mercy on thee, the Lord turn
His countenance to thee and give thee
peace"
Can there be more touching rite,
even in the judgement of those who
do not believe it? How many man,
not Catholic, is moved on seeing it
to say, 20 that I did but believe it,"
when he sees the priest take up the
fount of mercy and the people bend
low in alteration. 1t is one of the most
beautiful, natural, and soothing &C
tons of the church.

FEAST OF THE PURiFicATioN OF
THE BLESSED VIRGIN.

The reasons why candles are blessed
on this day and carried lighted in sol
emn procession (where this is prac-
ticable) are as follows: First, to re-
mind us that the incarnate Son of God
is the true light that came into the
world to enlighten all men, and that
on this day he was carried by his Vir-
gin Mother to the Temple and present.
ed as an offering to his Heavenly
Father. Secondly, this ceremony re-
minds us of that moment when the
aged Simeon folded the Divine Child
in his arms, and with holy joy ex-
claimed: Nov my eyes have seen
the Light which is to enlighten all ma
tions!" This Divine Light has, like
wise, been revealed to our own eyes,
and we, too, should fondly enclose
Christ Jesus in our hearts. Thirdly,
the burning candles which we hold in
our hands are to recall to us the words
of our Saviour: LET your loins be grid
ed, and lamps burning in your hands"
(Luke xii. $50; and again: "Let your
light shine before men, that they may
see your good works, and glorify your
Father who is in heaven" (Matt. v. 16).
It is our duty as Christians to show un-
to all men, but more particularly to
those subject to us, the light of good
example. Finally, the wax of the can
dies typifes the immaculate flesh OF
the humanity of Christ, which was the
fruit of the virginia. womb of Mary. All
this is indicated by the prayers which
the Church employs at the blessing of
the candles.
The priest prays that God may en-
kindle in the hearts of all those who
may carry or use these candles the
fire of his divine love, and enlighten
them with the light of the Holy Ghost
for the welfare of soul and body. He
that is not unworthy of such divine IA
vors may confidently hope that God
will hear the prayer offered in the
name of the entire Church.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. lGNATlUS.

st. Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, was
the disciple of st. John. When Domi-
tian prosecuted the Church, ST. Ignat-
ius obtained peace for his own flock
by fasting and prayer. But for his
part he desired to suffer with Christ,
and to prove himself perfect disciple.
In the year 107, Trajan came to An
tioch, and forced the Christians to
choose between apostasy and death.
''Who art thou, poor devil" the EN-
.peror said, when Ignatius was brought
before him, "who settest our commands
at naught?" Call not him, poor dew
it, Ignatius answered, "who bears God
within him." And when the Emper-
or questioned him about his meaning,
Ignatius explained that he bore in his
heart Christ crucifed for his sake.
Thereupon the Emperor condemned
him to be torn to pieces by wild beasts
at Rome. st. Ignatius thanked God,
who had so honoured him, binding
him in the chains of Paul, His Apos-
tle"
He journeyed to Rome, guarded by
soldiers, and with no fear, except of
losing the martyrs crown. On his
way to Rome he wrote seven epistles
to different Churches which breathe
the same desire for union with Christ.
II write to you in life" he says, "but
in desire of death" He exhorts the
faithful to be. united with the Church
through which we are members OF
Christ. He speaks often of the Bread
of God, the heavenly Bread, the Bread
of life, which is the flesh of, Jesus
Christ" And he welcomes death, that
he may be offered as libation tc
God" and rise to Him. Like st. Paul
he could say: Il desire to be dis
solved, and to be with Christ" He
was devoured by lions in the Roman
amphitheatre. The wild beasts left
nothing of his body, except a few
bones, which were reverently treas
ured at Antioch, until their removal t
the Church of st. Clement at Rome, II
637. After the martyrs death, severa
Christians saw him in vision standing
before Christ, and interceding fo
them. Il

TAKING CAREFUL AIM.

Many boy misses becoming great
man, many girl misses becoming a
great woman by failing to take good
aim. It's important to find out as
early as we can just what we can do,
what our special talent is, and then
direct our utmost energies at that one
target
The men of single, concentrated pur-
pose are the ones who accomplish the
hard things of the world. Years ago
a number of school boys, members of
a Philadelphia school, were taken by
their teachers to Washington to see
President Lincoln at the White House.
When the ceremonies were over,
Mr.. Lincoln turned to the boys.
Boys" he said, kindly smile play
ing about his features, "do the teach
ers in your school teach you how to
load, take aim and fire? Do they
teach you the Importance of hitting
the target every time?
1--WE known some people, the Presi-
dent went On, "who had, fine looking
guns, but they just went out and
blazed away without much aim, and
they didn't have good guns. But any
kind of a gun that hits the mark is
better than any other kind that
doesn't An insignificant mustard shot
that hits the target, boys, is better
than United States Army shell that
goes whizzing away in space and aim
lessly explodes."
| H. ~ u,
phasizing in language the boys could
understand, the need of concentrated
purpose for any one who expected
really to accomplish something in the
world.
f. Whatever he did he did with all his
might. He attended faithfully to the
object in hand and did nothing by
halves. He kept his wits SO intensely
directed to what he was doing and
worked so efficiently and we'll that he
was in the habit of accomplishing
what he set out to do.
A person may have whole series
of bewildering talents, but If they
are scattered and ill directed, nothing
will be accomplished. Concentration is
the key.
We all know how it is with scat
I tered clouds of steam as they rise
gracefully and harmlessly, in the at
mosphere. But if those same clouds
of steam were confined under pressure
in boiler and in connection with ar
engine, they would have the power
to lift us or speed us across the con
tinents and oceans.
A boy is fond of reading. But his
reading is objectless. Now If he
would only properly direct his efforts
along this line, concentrate them on &
particular branch of study, he would
obtain results that would astonisf
himself. And his objectless reading
would soon be transformed into actua
mastery of a literature or science
It's the same with artists and house
keepers and students, and business
men and women, and budding lawyers
and doctors and farmers. Whatever
line of endeavor we may be engaged il
the principal must hold good.-St
Nicholas Magazine.

CONDUCT IN CHURCH.

The Church is the house of God. It
of the Most High, and sanctifled by the
presence of our Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament. It is, therefore, place
where not only respect and reverence
must be shown, but where humility
and meekness should be the predomi-
mating influences of the heart. There
should be no talking, whispering,
noise, disturbance, or any kind of mis-
demeanor. Silence should reign SUI
preme and a devotional bearing be
manifested by all. Gazing about, greet
ing acquaintance. holding converse
ton with them, endeavoring to attract
attention, or doing anything unbecom-
ing or that will cause distraction is
entirely out of place.
Always go forward and occupy a
pew towards the front, provided the
rights of pew holders are not infringed
upon. Pews are reserved at certain
services for the use of those who rent
them, and it is unjust to persist in &C.
cupying them on these occasions. But
when their rights are respected, It is
best to go up towards the front. Those
nearest the altar hear Mass the best.
The custom of remaining around the
doors or standing in the aisles when
there are vacant pews to be occupied,
is entirely improper. 1t causes incon-
venience and is a source of annoyance
to those who are coming into the
Church or leaving it. Besides it is dis
courteous.
Those who offend in this manner sell
dom hear Mass properly. They stand
and gaze about as unconcerned as il
they were in town hall. They never
use a prayer book, nor do they seem
to possess a prayerful, devotional
spirit People should not congregate
around the doors, nor in the aisles
nor in the vestibule, congesting the
passage ways and blocking the exits
and entrances, to the great inconven
fences of the congregation. Never be
late for the services. Be punctually
on time, and if present before the
services begin, occupy the time by
praying or reading the prayer book.
! Catholic people are distinguished
the world over for the respect they
show and the decorum they manifest
in their churches, and these words are
intended only for the few, not for the
many. When the church is regarded
as the house of God and the dwelling
place of our Lord in the Sacrament O.
the altar, and Catholics regard it al
such, there is little likelihood of an!
frivolous or unbecoming conduct.

WHEN NIGHT COMES.

By Elizabeth Lincoln Gould.
l knew a boy who will forget
Most all of what he's told;
How boys should always lift their caps
And bow to young and old;
Bout shutting doors; and flies and.
things;
And scraping off your shoes;
To come right straight in, when it
pours;
And sitting still in pews.
He has his pockets full O. stuff
That makes his mother say:
20 Bobby!" just like that, and go
And throw it all away.
And oh, the fearful noise he makes
A-running up and down!
He's pretty sure he's bout the worst
OF any boy in town.
But after all, his mother comes
And tucks him up in bed,
When ev'rything is still and dark;
And lots Of times she's said,
II wouldn't change my little lad,
Who's tired as can be,
For any boy in all the land"
That's how she talks to me!

him. But he heard every word which
Ethel and mama were saying about
helpful ights-big and little. They
spoke of the sun, moon and stars; the
electric lights in the city where Ned
and Ethel lived; the great light in
the lighthouse which could be seen
from grandpa's attic window; the
lamp and candle lights; the merry
flames in grandpa's big open fireplace;
and even the strange northern lights
which the children sometimes saw in
the winter skies.

own. On this account, they have a
special encouragement and inspira-
ton for us, and will prepare the way
for acquaintance with the saints of re-
moter times.
More important than the kind of
reading we take up, is the end for
which we read. This must be our moral
and spiritual betterment, and not mere
curiosity, interest, or information.
Pastors are always anxious to de-
velop a taste for Spiritual Reading
among their 1ocks; and they are glad
to give information about the best
books to read and the most convenient
place at which they can be purchased.

THE CROSS.

The Latin cross is one with which
we are familiar. The lower limb is a
good deal longer than the other three
limbs. The Greek cross, on the con-
trary, has all the limbs of equal length
two pieces crossed in the middle at
right angles. The St. Andrews cross
is in the form Of the letter x. The
Greek cross is sometimes called the
cross of ST. George, and is blended
with that of st. Andrew to form the
union Jack of the British flag.
