The original gymnasium was built by Fr. Forster in 1915 and placed under the patronage of St. Denis in memory of 131'. Denis O'Connor. the first Basilian superior of Assumption College. The school year 1948—49 saw the erection of a new St. Denis Hall. The prime purpose of this venture was to provide additional basketball and physical educational facilities for the increased high school and college en- rollment. In addition, there has been need of more indoor recreation space for he t high school boarders. This has been provided underneath the gym. The atter l will also serve as a convenient place for fans to congregate and sipokea c between halves of the basketball games. (Also, beneath the gym spacious dressing rooms are being built to accommodate both our own and visiting teams). Pending the construction of an auditorium, St. Denis Hall will also be used as an assembly hall. The lighting and other properties necessary for aellw equipped stage is at the present time under the direction of Fr. Quinlan. ext N fall there will be installed new folding bleachers of the tele— scopic style, which when pulled out will furnish thirteen rows. \Vhen closed they will occupy only four and a half feet of space from the wall. This ftype o bleacher will make it possible to convert the playing floor from one to wo t floors for intramural contests. The question of an electric time— keeper nd a scorer is also under consideration. \Vhen completed St. Denis Hallill w provide Assumption with one of the largest and most modern gymnasiums in Canada.

“Look not mortrnfulty t0 the past ‘ it comes not back again; wisely improve the present —— it is thine; go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear, and with a manly heart” — H. W. Longfellow.

In the perilous times which are ours, it may he that we go forth to meet Life with a defeatist mentality, wondering what lies in store for us in a w orld that seemingly holds scant promise of security and peace. This fatalistie attitude, this complete disregard that we, not Fate, control the future, would be the negation of the very values we have been otaught t cherish. Whatever vicissitudes life may hold, we must never forget that the things of the spirit remain ours forever, the precious heritage of a Christian Education.

When Mrs. John lVlacphearson (Rita McCormick, 74-3), and her initial partyaid p a Visit of homage to the Lady Altar in. the College Chapel on June 26, it was an event of special import in the Chronicle of 1948. Her three attendants were alumnae of Holy Names College, after graduating fromt. S Mary’s Academy: Elaine Charters, ’43; Shirley Russette, 7'14; andatriciaP Thompson, ’46. In a touching ceremony now traditional in the College, Rita placed her white bridal bouquet on Mary’s altar. After— wards, in the Chapel vestibule, in presence of her hrother Reverend John McCormick, members of the faculty and the bridal party, Rita accepted theeautifullyb decorated Wledding Pledge sent expressly for the occasion by Reverend Patrick Peyton, C.S.C., of the daily Rosary Crusade. This presentation was probably the first made in Canada.
