Holy Ghost Mass Held At Cathedral

Members of the Class of 1952 formally donned their caps and gowns for the i'rrst time on Mon­day morning, October 1, at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. The l\fass of the Holy Ghost was celebrated by His Excellency, Archbishop Richard J. Cushing, D.D. The entire student body, under the direction of Rev. Rus· sell H. Davis, M.Mus., sang the plaint chant mass.

The procession into the Cathe­dral was led by Dorothea Mc· Donald, P resident of Student Government, and Patricia Boyle, President of the Senior Class. Faculty members in their aca· demic robes followed the seniors into the Cathedral. At the close of the mass, Archbishop Cush· ing addressed the students, their parents and teachers, voicing a prayer that the academic year might be a happy and profitable one. He urged the seniors to live 1.II' to tllPir C:::.tholic r eritage, to prove t hemselves worthy of the "gowns of maturity" by clear thinking and hard work in their chosen fields of endeavor.

Edi torials ... WHY CATHOLIC EDUCATION?

Few of us actually realize just how much it is costing the American citizen for his negligence in educating his chlldren. While the complaints mount daily as to the high cost of Jiving, we rarely stop to consider that the cost of keeping the law breakers, the products of careless educa­tion, behind bars amounts to more than $1,500 per year, per man.

Education and living rxe not too distantly related, and the evidence suggests tliat we are turning into a nation of law breakers. When the F. B. I. was first organized it was composed of thirty-five agents; today its personnel num­bers over nine thousand, five hundred. Aside from our jus­tifiable pride in the F. B. I.'s efficiency, we must remember that its ranks increase in proportion to crime. J. Edga,r Hoover used different words to express the truth which Catholic education advocates have been hammering at us for years. He pointed out the fact that all the actiVIties of civic organizations and law enforcement bodies avail nothing "so long as the boy or girl, man or woman, has no impelling motive for living in accordance with the law of God and the law of man."

We belong to a race that educationally boasts that it believes in nothing at all, because to believe in any formal body or dogma would be to stifle intellectual progress. What are the results? If we believe our conduct is answerable to a Supreme Being, then we will govern our activities in accordance with our idea of what God expects. If, on the other hand, we believe in no one but ourselves, we will work golely to please our own fancy. If honor profits more, we will be honorable. If we believe in the survival of the fittest . we will do anything and everything we can to insure our own survival. Naturally, those who survive with us will exclaim, "He is shrewd, aggressive, ruthless, merciless and powerful!" -granting us the same measure of respect that our fathers would have given to the virtues of honesty and integrity.

In the course of secular education, instead of a sure compass of truth, students are stuffed with "liberal­ism"-Bacon, Darwin, Freud, and Wells. This false tolerance leaves many students floundering in a hodge­podge of liberalism; with the exception of those who assert dogmatically, "Might is rig'ht and force takes all! Then there are the Catholics who have the answer to the problem-"Truth is never tolerant of untruth; two and two make four-not three, not five, nor twenty­two!"

Too many people neglect to send their children to Catholic schools because they feel that religious education is a detriment to "the systematic training of the intellec­tual faculties." But isn't faith the spring that feeds the intellect, the source of the perfection after which the in­tellect is constantly seeking?

The issue now is abundantly clear. Those who realize the supernatural benefits of Christian educa­tion need no urging to make Christ the center of the~r lives in the face of impending tyranny.

The second species of professor is the Floor-Walker. This Profes­sor never looks at his class. He paces back and forth across the c;assroom, his eyes riv<!t ed c.n th ceiling, on the wall, on the fioorJ on the window, on anything ana everything except on his pupils. Every now and then, he uses an unfamiliar tel"m. Immediately, at lE'ast six hands shoot up. Our Professor doesn't see them. He's staring at the blackboard.

And finally, we have the Sur­prise-Test-Giver. This Professor greets us at the door with a bland smile and a few polite in­quiries about the weather. We take our seats and begin to con­gratulate ourselves that the pe-riod is progressing remarkably well, in spite of the fact that we didn't do the day's- assignment. The Professor then produces a neat little stack of papers. His smile broadens. Ours begin to waver. Oh no! Oh yes? Oh yes. The Surprise-Test-Giver has the uncanny ability to determine whether or not we have done the assignment. His method is un­certain, but it is our private be­def that he is secretly in league with the Holy Ghost.

Although they differ in other respects, professors all agre~ in one thing-homework. They ob­viously adhere to the theory that "an idle mind Is the devil's work· shop." In the interests of our i~ortal souds, therefore, they make certain that our minds never have a moment in which they may be Idle. A preswnptu­ous freshman once sugg~sted that we be left time to eat and sleep. She was laughed ouf· of college.

The most popular forrr. of homework is the essay. The es­say is an instrument of torture which is believed to have n1'igi­nated during the Spanish Inqui­sition. Our professors regard it as another methoQ. of purifying the Freshman soul. If we express any doubts as to our ability as

• • • Music, on every level, is receiving greater emphasis at

Emmanuel. Upon our daily entrance at 8 :45 a.m. into the lower regions the cacophony of the latest "Hits" roars out from the lounge and steps up our pace down the corridor. On the higher level, all manner of mingled melody fills the at­mosphere. Some students may be found alone or in groups "appreciating" the masterpieces of great composers and im­provising their own harmony (?); some exercising rivals of Mozart and Heifitz are capering over the piano keys and other instruments, while the vocalists are uniting in choral ensembles.

In the middle regions, strains from the organ loft float down through the Chapel; and, of alte from the auditorium the rise and swell of plain chant has sent us soaring to the heights.

The recent rehearsals for the Mass of the Holy Ghost have revealej not only a wealth of musical ability in our di­rectors, but also their "un-conventional" hints on social be­havior.

It certainly is wonderful to be back at school once more to renew acquaintance with friends, professors, the caf ... But there is one special feature without which school just wouldn't be complete, that is the joyrides on those mechanical monsters, otherwise known as the "Met" pets. It is really satisfying when that wonder of man, a "Met" pet screeches co a sharp stop in front of me, (why worry about that puddle?) ; and I am greeted by the gentle, courteous, invita­tion of the conductor, "Come on, sister, move to the rear." Then there are the spacious accommodations, "If that was your foot, madam, get it out of the way ... "; and last there is the swift, smooth ride to Park St., (two hours and forty jerks fr0'm Kenmore to Park St.). Ah there is nothing else on earth like it ... thank heaven. M.E.G.

... ... ... Dear Annabel:

Last night I went to my first Acquaintance Dance out at the "Depths" with two other freshmen from Leunamme. We arrived there at 8 :30 but by the time we pushed our way through the crowd and into the hall it was 9 :00.

Once we got inside, though, everything was grand. Oh, there were so many fine college boys there! I began to get frightened. What would I say if one of them should ask me to dance? Well, anyway, the hall was very large and from the opposite end of it (about a 5 minute walk) I could hear an orchestra playing. It was so dark, th0'ugh, and so crowded that I couldn't see whose band it was. To show you how dark it was; I was standing not more than 4 inches away from two fellows when I overhead one say to' his friend (as he was looking straight in my face), "I can't see her for dust."

Then it began to get awfully hot so we decided to go downstairs for cokes. After half an hour of pushing through the mob we decided we really didn't want any cokes after all. A couple of times I saw different boys looking in my direc­tion. I thought they were going to ask me to dance-but they didn't. We stood around and talked with some of the girls from school for the rest of the night and then left for home.

Honestly, Annabel, I can't remember when I've had such a lovely time before! I don't want to miss even one of these dances this year. True, I didn't dance at all but I don't care because nobody else did either.

If you happen to be passing through Boston soon, call me and then you can plan to go to an Acquaintance Dance with me. You'll have such fun!

Love. Petronella.

It is harder when she is writing an essay_ It is hardest of all when she is study­ing for tests, in Biology, English Literature, Spanish, Western Civiilization, Theology, etc ., etc., etc. During this period, she is a changed person. She leaves the phone off the hook. Her conversa­tion with her family and friends is limited to monosyllables. She ignores her broken-hearted swains (each morning the police sweep scores of them off her door-step). Glumly she looks back upon her high school days. She ponders on tha t concept so ('ommon among her career-girl friends , "Girls go to college only for the social life." Alas!
