One day Sister Rose and a companion

showed a heartfelt appreciation OF
their great accomplishment. Miss
Refine Gibbs, of Florence. rendered

advice from her few years as an alum
ma of her Alma Mater and cited for
their benefit the beaten path of ex-
perience of the seventy graduates
who have preceded them and the sue
cess which many of them have at
tanned.
Canon City received its full quota
of appreciation in glowing words
from Sister NJ. Imelda who spoke of
Canon City, the Home of Mt. Schol-

ent Sister Directress and knows
thoroughly of the advantages of Can
on City as place to live and as an
ideal location for such school Of
which she is the directing head.
Mrs. Henry Mccarthy paid "a Tri-
butte to Our Two Directresses," using
that as the title of her toast. In the
twenty-five years there have been but
two directresses, namely Sister Mary
Callista and Sister Mary Imelda. al
though Sister Mary Rose was the
Mother Superior from the time Of the
advent Of the Benedictine Sisters to
Canon City in 1890, during the turbu-
lent period Of the ruin and reconstruc-
tion of the school, until 1897 when the
task of re-opening the school and the
directing OF the educational depart
ment was entrusted to Sister Callista.
Sister Callista guided the uncertain
career of the institution for a num-
ber of years until 1t became strong
and full Of vigor when the executive
cares were placed upon the shoulders
of Sister NJ. Imelda who has brought
the school to its present prosperous
and influential position.
