Excerpt from The Muse, 1921, Vol. 23 Mr. Cruikshank has had a very intimate part in developing the student life of St. Mary's as it is today. The School Songs, the Muse, and many of the student occasions which have now come to be looked upon as a part of the round of the year had their inception -or their inspiration from him. To us of today it seems that Alma Mater, In a Grove of S-tat-ely Oak Trees, and the other school songs have always been a part of St. Mary's; that there must always have been Alumnae Day celebrations and Alum-nae Day luncheons; that the Christmas Tree Celeb-ration, the Inter-class Parties, the junior-senior Banquet, and the School Party are old traditions.

And each as part of the general purpose to further school spirit and to increase both the student and the al'uin-n'ae devotion to St. Mary's.
