All aboard for (Jlemvood! was the joyous cry that vibrated on the mid-June air and set aglow the hearts of the happy, pleasure-seekers who, in response to Rev. P. M. Cushuahan's generous invitation, in-vitation, spent the, afternoon of June J.th at Olonwood. The treat at first intended for the tirst Communion Com-munion class was extended to the pupils both of the Sacred Heart Academy and St. Joseph's school, and the number was reinforced by many of St. Joseph's parishioners. The various exhilirating pastimes devised for ihe amusement of the pienieers embraced archery, bowling, a game of baseball, between the pupils of both institutions, and a vaudeville entertainment. entertain-ment. " The numerous snap-shots taken gives evidence of other popular pastimes, as swinging, riding the donkey, teasing the monkeys, and promenading with congenial companions. These, and the various kodak pictures of the saucer track, the zoo, and some of the most picturesque pic-turesque scenes of the well known resort will long serve as souvenirs of an occasion when hearts tingled in unison with the rhythmic joy of a perfect per-fect June day. Commencement exercises at Sacred Heart Academy on June 21 and 22. Education, its phases, aims and end. is the watchword of the day, and the views concerning it are as varied a the objects to be attained in its pursuit. Bishop Spaulding tells us ''The simple and comprehensive idea of education includes within itself almost everything-. It is as many-sided as human nature and its limits are as wide' as the capacities of the soul." We see daily the evil effect of an education which is one-sided and we admire the astonishing results of one which is all-embracing. That the faculty of Sacred Heart Academy understands the' necessity of the three-fold education educa-tion is evident in the doings of the last weeks of the scholastic year, weeks alive with work of a true educational value. First of all "Field Day," June 8, marked by an enjoyable outing to Glenwood park, refreshed all and prepared their minds for the trying examina-1 examina-1 tion days whose results evince the ability for which the students of Sacred Heart have ever been noted. Earnestness and enthusiasm were apparent appar-ent in all from the smallest pupils to the members of the class of '05, who, on the eventful evening of June 22, will be enrolled as alumnais. Then tbey will join the faithful band, whose efforts, we are sure, will be worthy of, their former skill and ingenuity, in-genuity, when the annual banquet is spread. While body and mind have been strengthened during these days the soul has not been forgotten. Fifty years ago the Sisters of the Holy Cross began their life-work in America, and June 15, was signalized by special religious observances ordained bv the Sovereign Pontiff to mark the important im-portant event the Golden Jubilee of the Community. Commun-ity. Floral tributes from friends and pupils testified testi-fied to the esteem in which the religious are held by those among whom they have labored; and the sanctuary aglow with light and color on the morning of the 15th bespoke the joy that tilled the hearts of teachers and pupils as they sang the glorious anthem, "We Praise, Thoe, O Ood." |
