of butterflies and flowers. We
were here entertained at cards
and enjoyed a delightful lunch
eon.
At 4 o’clock we were escorted
to the Royal theater, where a
splended picture, “Goose Hangs
High,” was shown. We then
went home to dress for the eve
ning. Upon our return, butter
flies conducted us to the beauti
fully decorated dining room. Af
ter dinner we met in the assem
bly roam where the future was
revealed to us. The remainder
of the evening was spent in the
gym dancing.

Prepare to Celebrate
Silver Jubilee—
On Sunday, June 7, St. Mary’s
alumnae gave the first of a ser
ies of social affairs to help raise
$2,500 which is to be the gift of
our alumnae to our alma ma
ter on her silver jubilee.
The affair was successfully
carried out by the following
committee: Mrs. Lottie Grady
Hammond, Miss Anna O’Don
nell, Mrs. Bea McCafferty Gal
lagher and Mrs. Anna Dwyer
Coyne, who proved to be very
gracious hostesses.
The afternoon was spent at
Monte Carlo whist at which
Mrs. McDonough won high
score and Miss Pauline Wirer
won the all-cut, both receiving
very clever prizes
In the midst of the games an
intermission was called and the
following program was present
ed: Vocal solos, Miss Genevieve
Biglin, Miss Eileen Enright;
musical selection, John Robert
and Gene Gallagher; violin so
lo, Miss Helen Wirer; a reading,
Arlene Kettel and Theresa Baz
elman; minuet, Helen Reardon,
Grace Quilty, Jimmy Brown,
and Jimmy Harty.
After the game a delightful
lunch was served and all left
having enjoyed a very pleasant
afternoon.
(Clipping from the silver ju
bilee edition, “Prairie Star”):
Theodore Piekenbrock, of Al
liance, also spent the week here.
He had spent the time renew
old acquaintances. St. Mary’s
is deeply indebted to Mr. Pie
kenbrock for his devoted self
sacrific during the first years
or ner esiaousnmenr, ror u was
he who laid the floors and put
windows in many of the rooms
after the carpenters had gone.
This was done outside his regu
lar working hours. Mr. Pieken
brock said his visit would not
seem complete without a meal
served'on a packing box with
| a ciackei box for a chair.
Mid Steamers of white and
Lady blue, the long tables
gleamed in their dainty pale
blue and silver decoration, while
spft candle light made brighter
still the smiling happy faces
The dainty place cards evoked
murmurs of admiration. They
were the work of Sister Maxine
and her talented art class. The
O’Neill orchestra furnished fine
music during the dinner. Be
tween the first and second
course, to the amusement of all,
a representative of each of the
graduating classes from 1903 tc
1925, clad in her respective
gown, entered the room to the
well - known commencemenl
march, made her gracious bow
and passed on amid much hear
ty applause

the duty of upholding freedom.
