“Sonata in C Major, Op. 2, Ko. 3,

of selections by Schubert, including
“About Strange Lands and People,”
“Curious Story,” “Catch Me,” “Im
portant Event,” “Dreaming,” and
“The Knight of the Hobby Horse.”
The second portion of her program
consisted of two well known favorites
from Chopin. The first of these was
“Polonnaise. in A Major.” In the
execution of this Louise displayed
her amazing technical skill. “Koe-
turn in E Flat” presented a different
mood and gave Louise the opportu
nity to show her ability in the inter
pretation of this type music.
During intermission Miss Peggy
Trotter, soprano, accompanied by
Mr. Donald Peery, sang “Morning
Hymn” by Henschel, “The nightin
gale and the Rose,” and “Gypsy
Life.”

by her mother, Hermene Warlick
Eichhorn, who was present at the
recital. Kext, Louise played De
bussy’s amusing “Minstrels.” “Ara
besque in A Major,” also by De
bussy, preceded the final selection,

QOOD-BYE SCHOOL
Good-bye to evening Chapel in
candlelight, to the little gray path to
the Peter Pan, to the wistaria in
the spring and the magnolias in
bloom. Good-bye to girl-breaks, bull
sessions, midnight parties, and birth
day suppers. Good-bye to afternoon
shopping and movies, the State Col
lege bus, and the walks to Civic
Musics.
Remember the first day of school,
John and Casper and Willie waiting
on the steps, the crowded hall in the
general office, books and schedules,
and lights on the campus at night?
Remember military drill and assem
bly programs, changing tables and
watching basketball games ? Remem
ber the mad joyous reunion in Sep
tember, that special room in Holt,
then tbe ivy climbing on the screen
in the window?
Kow we leave two unforgettable
years behind us. They have passed
too quickly. We leave understand
ing teachers and sincere friends. We
have finished two years of work, two
years of finding and loving the spirit
of Saint Mary’s, of learning invalu
able lessons that Saint Mary’s girls
can learn.
Good-bye, school. From “a grove
of stately oak trees,” we look into
the difficult war-torn world of prob
lems and uncertainty. Yet Saint
Mary’s sends us forth with a feeling
of faith and hope.
Good-bye, School . . .
