CD7.amatLc1- (![LLb (J\oductLon The period of political unrest fo llowing the French Revolution is the basis for "Sanctuary"-the one act play recentl y enacted by the R egina Players. The opening situation and all subsequent happening s take pl ace in a convent. This co nve nt is frequently so ug ht as a sanctuary by those unfortunates who find themselves in trouble with the go vernment. Such is the case when M arg uerite comes to the nuns seeking refuge fo r her fiance, Pierre, who is fl eeing from the p olice. However, Mother M arie feels that it is her duty to report the cui prit to the autho rities. Marg uerite staunchly defends her lover , a nd intuitively feeling that it is her duty to save Pierre so that he mig ht have a ch ance to lead a better I ife, states that she will renounce the wo rld a nd enter the conve nt if Mother M arie will g ive Pierre p rotectio n. The nun asse nts, fo r she believes that Marg uerite's sacrifi ce will do m ore toward saving Pierre's so ul tha n anything else. Altho ug h the first feeling ex perienced by the audience was that o f so rrow for M arg uerite, the m o re lasting impression was that while the g irl forfe ited her earthly love she thereby ga ined the greatest Love o f all- G od.

On Sunday afternoon , M arch 2 0 , 1949, the debating branch of Salve R egina' s Intern ational R ela tions Club won its first inter-coll egia te effo rt from the D ebating Union of Providence College. The subj ect for d ebate was: R esoLved :
That the FederaL G overnment ShottLd Adopt ct Policy of Equalizing EdJtccttion in Tctx-SttjJported Schools by M eans of AnnuaL Grants. The affirm ative side of the question was handled by Miss J ane Murph y, '5 1, and Miss Catherine H ogan, '51 , first and seco nd speakers respectively, from Salve R egina College. The negative was d ebated by Mr. Thomas A. M a lloy, '49, and Mr. Francis J . P arente, '50 , also first and second speakers for their college, in the ord er herein. Dr. Michael F. W alsh, Ed.

It is interesting to no te that the decisio n o f the judges in favor of Salve R egina was un animous.

(Pulfin9 ~o9Etfu:7. Ever stop to think what co-ordination can do? Love, a form of co-ordination makes marriage and the propagation of the human race possible. Understanding, another means of united efforts, gives strength and meaning to such words as faith, trust, devotion, resulting in a fruitful parent-child relationship. Co-operation or lack of same in teacher and student association "makes or breaks" the educating process, maybe, even worse, a youthful individual's initiative. Lasting friendship depends on concord. In short, one might say that "pulling together" makes the world go round. Pulling together, as a matter of fact, is at the bottom of a lot of things, both natural and supernaturaL "S upernatural?", you guery. "We can see from examples the worldly side of your statement. But where do you get that other worldly stuff?" My answer could be simply- Jesus and M ary. H erein one finds love, understanding, co-operation, friendship; every conceivable form of a perfected bond, one for another. We have Our Lady's Rosary, fifteen concrete illustrations of Heavenly harmony; Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries devoted to a brief chronicling of a Son's and His mother's life, that Human-Divine Son's death. In this, the middle of the Lenten season , guite naturally our attention is focused on the Sorrowful Mysteries, on the pain and agony leading up to Calvary, and their final culmination. These five decades of the Rosary paint for us the horror of deepest darkness gradually enfolding Jerusalem, and with Jerusalem the whole expanse of the earth. Our sins caused Christ and Mary such misery, and for our sins, in the forty days preceding Easter, we concentrate, with the Church, on reparation to the God-Man and to his Lady of Sorrows. In the course of reparation, faith, hope, and trust bloom anew from our souls' darkness. Co-ordi-

nation again. This time, we have co-operated with the graces from the shadow of the Cross; with Mary, sacrificing what we hold dear to save ourselves, and possibly through reparative sacrifices, the human race as well, for eternity. As in life on earth, throughout the Mysteries, joy follows sorrow, sorrow follows joy. Sometimes even the worst of sorrows become our joys, as on looking backward we reflect upon them and see what their results have wrought. Thus, actually, the "Sorrowful" Mysteries are joyful for both God and ourselves. He converted the pain and desolation of the Cross into joy by seeing all in his omniscience, knowing the joy in Heaven for the souls He had saved. Stirred by the thought of so loving a God , our sentiments are much the same. Sorrow becomes joy in mere meditation on this fact. How much more so, if we have carried our individual Lenten Crosses with the same courage with which H e carried His!

The cutting wind sliced through me with a coldness that made heels out of my Neolite Soles; my cherry red cheeks shivered like Jack Benny 's ex-product. Why, I strike it lu cky more than Casey! This was just the prelude to one of the strangest, weirdest and most thrilling escapades which has ever befallen me in the course of my so-called natural (?) days. On that never to be forgotten March 1, Mother Nature was giving her pride and joy, "Junior Blizzard", a chance to demonstrate his prowess. After braving the elements, (Father Dillon says there are 96), I finally reached the bus stop, looking like a second rate edition of Nanook of the North, to await the arrival of that orange and white monster known as the Shortline Bus. My op timism (or pessimism) was soon rewarded and before you could say "open sesame", the bus appeared, opened its doors and I was swallowed up in its innermost recesses. As we speeded (and skidded) along the highway, the snow-covered houses, mountainous drifts, and a few scattered humans, gave the landscape the appearance of a miniature Alaska, a bizarre vanilla wonderland where the elements ( 96) played to their hearts content. The wonder of it all soon started the wheels and cogs in my tattle-tale grey matter to move so briskly that I was lost in gratifying reverie; (remember, a rolling brain gathers no rust or dust)! Reveri e was short lived , however, for I was jerked back to m y drab surroundings by the g rinding of antiquated brakes and the mad blare of horns. What happened? With the agility of "Bugs Bunny" I jumped to the front of the bus to peer out of the window. A never ending maze of cars and trucks had piled up and blocked the road , but good. How would we ever get throug h ? At 8:10 the bus driver, who was wearing lipstick and rouge, (he said he was in a play the night before), flash ed his best Ipana smile and cheerfully announced that we would be detained for a few hours. Little did we dream it would be 420 minutes before we actually acquired o ur freedom. Throughout, "Ipana's" spirits remained undaunted, even though his passengers were beginning to feel and act like caged lions.
9:00 The whole area now looks like Grand Central Station. State Troopers, Naval officers, frustrated autoists, frozen bank clerks, and a whole contingent of assorted characters were rushing, (if one can rush in 5 ft. of snow) , about trying to ge t throug h to a temporarily lost civilization. 10:00 H o! Hum! They're still at it and from here things look like it's "snow" fun. Someone is pounding at the door. W ell, so, a new addition to our ever growing clientel e. This poor man looks like an ad for Bird's Eye Frozen Foods. A departure too, for Mr. X on the rear seat has decied to hike to G. I. Joe's Diner for some coffee, brave soul. Almost eleven, and we haven 't seen poor Mr. X since. Greater love hath no man than to give up his life for a cup of Sanka. (co ntinued on page 5 )
Recently the students of Salve Regina College were privileged to hear a lecture on literary trends by Miss Lucille Harrington. A literary authority, Miss H arrington heads the English department at Roslinedale High School in M assachusetts. Introduced by Miss Teresa S. Fitzpatrick, Miss Harrington spoke on Catholic Thought In Cttrrent
Literature. Referring to The Eagle and the Dove, a comparison of the lives of Saint Theresa of Avila and the Little Flower, Miss Harrington pointed out that the trend was turning toward the hagiography, an attempt at lifting people into the spiritualistic level from the materialistic world. High praise was given to the works of Aldous Huxley and C. S. Lewis, but the great books being written now, in Miss Harrington's opinion, are of foreign authorship. High recog nition was given to Seven Storey Mountain and the prediction was offered that it may become a classic. In closing, Miss Harrington reiterated that many modern Catholic authors are over-praised and their works are judged oftentimes, not by context, but by the author's reputation. The after-effects of the literary slump succeeding the war is a re-arising of literature by Catholics and nonCatholics alike, combining high morals, fine style, and philosophy fundamentally Catholic in thought which mark excellent literature.

THE DEER CRY-WILLIAM G. SCHOFI ELD Succinctly and lucidly, for the enjoyment of the reading public, Mr. Schofield, a veteran newsman, has presented the life of Ireland 's beloved Saint Patrick. Not a hagiography, the volume, an exciting novel, is brigh t with the color of early Celtic days. This reviewer found The D eer Cry comparable only to a vivid tapestry woven from the warp and woof of fact, legend, and tradition. Accounts of Patrick's bondage, his lonely exile in Slemish, and his conception of a mission to Christianize this same land are all found ed in history. Ingeniously intertwined with Patrick's life one notes the antiquarian detail which causes the book to resound with the character and custom of the age about which it is written. Two conceptions, the sixteen year old Patrick-captive, and Erin's great bishop, battling Druid priests and Druid superstition live in an historical novel which employs none of the " tricks of the trade" so loathsomely o bvious to the discerning reader. Linked with a full-bodied development of the great Saint's character, is the romance of Kevin and Concessa, which after years of trial and separation end ed in Christian happiness. All in all, one might say the general theme of Mr. Schofield's novel is love; love infused into the dauntless Irish by their earnest patron; love, worn as a badge by a race whose proudest boast is their Christian heri tage.

11:00 Oh, my kingdom for a sandwich! If food doesn't arrive soon, we'll be resorting to cannibalism. Click, click, what's this? A be-furred suffragette is calmly "sittin with her knittin". That scarf will probably develop into an afghan by the time we reach Newport. 12:00 Lunch hour, but who cares, seeing as no one has anything but an empty stomach. "No, thank you," I lied. Some man sitting in front just offered me half a delapidated sandwich which he pulled from his pocket. Must be that the thoughts of starving to death appeal to me more than that non-union "hors d'oeuvre". 1:00 Toothpicks and after dinner mints are now being served by our auxiliary steward; imagination is really working overtime. Ah! Som eone has finally brought coffee into our home on wheels. Maxwell House, I believe, good to the last drip, and she is being served now. It definitely has saved us all from severe cases of borderline anemia, though it's a bit difficult serving twenty people with one battle scarred cup. 2:00 Good news! We're moving at last; o ur hope for freedom is developing into a very wonderful reality. After spending some time shoving, pulling, and discussing our predicament with local passers by, our bus driver climbed aboard with, "we'll be out of here in no time folks; just keep smiling!" Needless to say, he couldn't have gotten more of a reception if he were Glenn Davis after that winning touchdown. 3:00 After exactly seven hours, we arrived, none the worse for wear and tear, in the thriving metropolis of Newport. A taxi to S.R.C. next, where my sole worry was the missing of all but ten minutes of class hours for the day. What a heartbreak! What a long day on the Shortline! Hoping that m y misadventures will have no effect on your future transportation plans, I must be shovelling along now. Where am I going? Back to Fall River, of course; through drifts, sleet and snow to catch the returning bus.
