At least 1914 did it that way, with little Coolies A peering in at the windows and members arriving dramatically in response to frantic telegrams. But I might telegraph all day and no one could come to join me here, so I am going to break the convention. That's quite the traditional thing for 1915, anyhow, I believe. Gerty is riding horseback through Yellowstone Park-so her last special delivery from Wyoming told me; Helen Everett is somewhere between Rhode Island and the western coast; and Helen Taft wrote a fortnight ago from Canada, "I leave a week from today." The wind bloweth where it listeth and so, evidently, doth she. But even though we can't be together in the flesh, we are one in spirit-and that's more than a good many Boards can boast of. What's the good of all our psychology, anyhow, if we can't practice a little absent treatment, hypnotic suggestion stuff now and then? I believe that we can, and I am firmly convinced that this Preface is really written by us all in the .most modern scientific fashion, even if it is my hand alone that guides my new chicken-feather pen across the page. First of all we want to tell you how glad we are to send out this little memory book to you just at the beginning of October when all our thoughts are turning back to speckly note books, Taylor bell and camphor balls. Once we thought that we never should get it to you. The proof was lost, strayed or stolen somewhere between the Atlantic seaboard and San Francisco. VlTe had visions of sitting up nights forging articles and plagiarising from ancient class tomes; but at last the package came in safety and we breathed again. Then there were the articles that were lost or didn't come and those that did come and couldn't be published. If you miss Mary Parke's humor from these pristine pages-don't blame us. Didn't we tease and implore for days? "But M. P.," we said, with tears in our editorial eyes, "you know you're screamingly funny when you talk." "Am I?" piped M. P. innocently, rolling up old clothes for the Phillie Second Hand Shop. "Well I tri edto put things down on paper and they weren't a bit humorous. I just can't write at all, I guess. I'm sorry, but you all had better find someone else for that job. Good- bye, I'm going to New York till Thursday." Then there was the article about entertaining ministers which might have thrown some side lights on Snoddy, and one called "On Getting a Degree," which was to come from Edna's pen. We thought that a brilliant idea but she said she had had enough of writing that last month under Miss Crandall's watchful eye. Ethel gave us one about the mail, but, of course, Pem. West simply couldn't let that out. "The Clam," as Gane and Snyder's bill always called us, had to stand by each other in an emergency like that. We really should have a second Braley write-up from Myra Richards, for we have one on 1914 there; but it is too late now, and we shall simply have to send her our good wishes and wait until reunion to hear the story from her own lips. In spite of all these omissions and casualties, however, we hope that you will find reading here for a lonely hour, and that you will be diverted and cheered in those moments when it seems that even the sound of a "Fa-a-a-l-l Ln-n-nl" would come gratefully to your ear. May those classes who are left behind us send us a friendly thought now and then, if they chance to turn the pages of our Record, and keep us a welcome for the days when we shall all come back to walk in the shade of the Crab Apple Tree together.

Thus in a moment of mis- guided and general enthusiasm I took pen in hand and started to write-everything. IBut soon I was forced to recognize my limitations: Of course, only one with the finest discrimination for dramatic effect could do justice to Freshman Show. It would take a far keener wit than mine to appreciate all the clever things said at Freshman Banquet. And as for athletics-well, I never did know anything about them, except for shouting on the side lines that "The green was going to win!" (And we did-sometimes.) In short, I have come to realize that the only thing in Fresh- man year which is suited to my modest pen is-nothing-in particular. * I remember that on my first day of college I was in a state of terrified and expectant excitement over the unique form of hazing which I believed would be practiced upon us. How really terrible was the atmosphere which surrounded the mysteriously rumored "reading of rules to Freshmen" anyone will appreciate who knows that Edna Rapallo was intimidated with me. Indeed, she and I locked ourselves into our room at twilight and lay there tremblingly feigning sleep.t A gentle knock on the door made us both start up fearfully from our beds. What should we do? Edna, always braver than I, approached the door cautiously and listened at the keyhole. A gentle voice was asking us if we did not wish some ice cream. The Sophomores had brought us some from the party they had given the other Freshmen in the hall! At the words ice cream and a party my Freshman heart softened, and Edna mur- mured resolutely something about "not missing any of the college life." Thus I brought the key from where it lay hidden under my pillow. It was then we knew that in our life at Bryn Mawr the key had lost its function. * J have come to believe that the editors also reached this conclusion in assigning me IUy subject. t We learned thus early in our college course that at Bryn Mawr a key is an obsolete institution of no worth. Later we discovered that the "Busy Sign," "Please Keep Out," "Keep Out!" etc., etc., are almost as useless.

  • These Writing Are to Help You Focus Your Thoughts for Your Homily to Incorporate a More Pronounced Stewardship Message
    These writing are to help you focus your thoughts for your homily to incorporate a more pronounced stewardship message. — Stewardship Reflections by Catholic Stewardship Consultants Stewardship Homily Reflections June 13, 2021 — Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time EZ 17:22-24; PS 92:2-3, 13-14, 15-16; 2 COR 5:6-10; MK 4:26-34 As we enter back into Ordinary Time, our readings today remind us that heaven is our true home and that we cannot make it there without God’s assistance. In our First Reading, the prophet Ezekiel foretells the coming of the Kingdom of God. It is through a newly planted cedar that God will bear fruit. As he says, “Birds of every kind shall dwell beneath it… And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, bring low the high tree, lift high the lowly tree.” We can see that Jesus is the cedar that will become refuge for all people. He will humble the proud, lift up the lowly and produce good fruit in the weakened. It is God who does the wondrous works. We often go through life wanting to be in control. We try to solve all our problems, as we think, "I can do it myself." We cling to our own ideas by putting certain events, future plans or even day-to-day moments into a perfect little box, "This is the way I want it." We can even push back in moments of suffering by trying to find every possible way to get out of it.

I have tried to show that Lindsay intended to address social construction in America. He tried to use his art to change America, first and foremost, but also the world. And the changes he wanted to enact revolved around the issues of race, religion, feminism, and temperance. Lindsay wanted to alter the racial hierarchy in American to promote a more inclusive perspective. But not to make it all inclusive. And one of the prime v motivations for Lindsay’s interest in race was to change his own status within the hierarchy.
