Show SACRED HEART ACADEMY. Among the welcome newcomers to Sacred Heart during the past week were Alleen Vance of Green River, Wyo., and Gladys KIslingberry of Reno, Re-no, Nev. Rev. P. M. Cushnahan, with his well known generositv. eave the students of Sacred Heart a pleasant outing in the form of a 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, Adelaide Ade-laide Procter. 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. Jack-o'-lanterns and numerous nu-merous Japanese lights cast a warm, mellow through the weird-like glow. The main feature 'of the evening's entertainment 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 performances per-formances to be executed by those assembled. as-sembled. Much excitement was caused by the Interesting guessing games, and the minims were kept occupied by wonderful 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 luncheon lunch-eon 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 evening's enjoyment, and as the last strains of "Home, Sweet Home," died away many tired but happy hap-py girls sought "slumberland." David Hamilton, father of Edna Hamilton, a member of class 1910, was an honored guest. . Monday morning Mr. Driggs of the state school for the deaf and blind, invited in-vited the pupils of Sacred Heart academy aca-demy to visit the institution. After a wonderful exhibition in the gymnasium and a sight of the carpenters' and shoemakers' shoe-makers' shops, the visitors repaired to the different class rooms, where they heard a short recital of the daily work of these well-provided for, though afflicted, af-flicted, children. On their return home each maiden, young and old, was murmuring mur-muring a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving thanks-giving that she had the use of those seemingly necessary senses. After the joy of merrymaking of Halloween, 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. 6 passenger train as it was hurrying into the city Saturday morning, was killed instantly in Rawlins, 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 convent con-vent chapel for the repose of Mr. Kennedy's 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 Jack-man sang very soulful, tender hymns. Each heart felt the deep significance of the power of prayer and the consolation consola-tion it brings to sorrowing, sympathetic sympa-thetic hearts. EDNA HAMILTON, 1910. Sacred Heart Academy. |
