(1)
Come join our junior class
In fun and gaity.
We’ll sing our praises loudly
To the best there’ll ever be.
Now you may talk about your
Aleredith
And Peace and all the rest;
But we can say that St. Alary’s
Is the one we love the best.
(2)
The ghosts of old tradition
Including Dr. Smedes
Roam through our long dark halls
Like one hundred centiiiedes.
Now the new girls may be
frightened.
But soon they all agree
That without all these traditions
This wouldn’t lie St. Alarie.
(3)
AVe work and play together
In bonds of friendship true.
AAT pledge our loyalty
To the dear old white and blue.
Throughout the coming years
In what we say or do.
AAT>’11 always hold within our hearts
Our memories of you.
Repeat First Verse for Refrain
Come join our junior class
In fun and gaity.
AAT’ll sing our praises loudly
To the best there’ll ever be.
Now you may talk about
Aleredith
And Peace and all the rest;
But we can say that St. Alary’s
Is the one we love the best.

Blossom Research Foundation
Makes Astounding Discovery
A member of the Blosson Re
search Foundation has recently dis
covered an astoundingly strange
phenomenon which slightly re
sembles a vehicle carrying its own
power — generating and propelling
mechanism and used for travel on
ordinary tlioroughfaros. This ex
traordinary mechanism was lirouglit
to her attention through her innate
faculty of producing ideal creations
consistent with reality. An ordi-
naiw sjieciman of the liuinan race
will have a dillicult time compre
hending and acccjiting this vehicle;
howi'vi'i', till' foundation sinci'ri'ly
desires that all readers accept this
discovei’v as true.
The vehicle most resembling this
creation is the Jaguar, not to be
confused with a lai’ge, ferocious,
sjiotted feline. The trunk or main
mass possesses the general pattern
of the aforementioned automotive.
Aside from this fact the vehicle
bears no other similarity. The out-
wai'd appearance shows a jiattern
of black watch plaid painted on to
provide a very (lefinite Scottish aji-
pearance. In case anyone is inter
ested in obtaining a can of this
black watch jiaint, the foundation
regrets to inform you that none is
available as all was used up in
jiainting this automobile. This
black watch coloring has inter
mingled in its jiattern a thin striji
of crimson which was applied after
the other paint had dried. Among
other external features are the yel
low white-sidewall air-filled rubln'r
tubes, which are jilaced around the
wheels of the vehicle to form the
treads. The chrome exists in the
appropi'iate locations for a vehicle
of this type; however, it is a bright,
metallic yellow which is highly
malleable and free from liability to
rust. The lamps eipiipped with re
flectors are on the foremo.st .surface
of the vehicle, lliey give off a
slightly Imrnt umber tint so as not
to outline oncoming automobiles.
The tail lights match the thin .strij)
of crim.son in hue although not in
material.
1 he interior of this mechanism
does not boast an extraordinary
amount of ])hcnomenal construc
tions. The designer iierceived that
in order to have a vehicle wdiich
liosscssed coordination throughout,
she must obtain a feeling of har
mony between the interior and ex
terior of her rare aiiparatus; con
sequently, while designing the in
terior, she was unable to exert her
imagination as much as desirable.
I he sofas made of nylon covered
foam rubber have a polygenic shape
so that jiassengers can situate them
selves in any w'uy they desire.
These are jirotected by crimson
seatcovers made of the skins of
animals iircpared by tanning. At
strategic jilaces these covers are
attached to the sofa by black watch
plaid buttons, not to bo confused

'I'wo guests spoke to the St.
Alary’s Stmlent Body on January
U). The subject of the Assembly
program was 'Pryon Palace and its
restoi'ation.
1 he first spi-aker. Air. Tarlington,
reviewed the historical backgroiind
of the famous building, and then
introduced Air. Alorley J. AAblliams.
Air. A\ illiams is the man in
charge of physical research and
landscaping of the Palace in New
Bei'ii. His talk was based on ce-
ramic.s of tlu' Colonial period, and
he pointi'd out that much broken
china had been found on the Palace
site. Such discoveries enable Uie

interior ot the Palace before it W'as

ri'storation was develojiing very
well due to large endowmients. He
