Connair, page editors Behind Bearing news items of interest to each and every one of its readers, the Cham- inade News played a vital role in both manifesting and fostering the Spirit of Chaminade. By means of the primary liberty of the freedom of the press it presented accurate, reliable, timely, and interesting reports of all school activ- ities. In reimbursement for this right the News endeavored at all times to make its patrons more conscious of their privileges and immunities as citizens of the United States. Representing its ability to accommodate itself to the varying phases of national and international transition, the News changed its editorial policy from one of local interest to one which was consecrated to the promotion of national unity in our war effort. With Charninade's typical incessant and unflagging love of country as its fundamental principle, the News continually strove to inculcate in the minds of the students the characteristic constituents and the intrinsic excellence of Democracy. Always believing that the press is the voice of the people, the News pre- sented items of greatest interest to its readers and also expressed their opinions. Although only a high school publication, it constantly observed the best rules of journalism. Always characterized by reliability, honesty, and accuracy, always dissiminating the Spirit of Chaminade. the Chaminade News was truly the voice of Chaminade. 18

Weber The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, which was recently formed among the Seniors, had as its chief goal the promotion of Catholic Action among the high school students. This work was intended to give them a broader knowledge of the Missions and a stronger feeling of generosity toward our fellow Christians. The various drives sponsored by the Crusade throughout the year, in- cluding the Christmas Food Drive and the Paper Drive, proved as successful as in recent years. Likewise, the Skating Parties were very well attended and thus afforded more funds with which to enlarge the C.S.M.C. The Spiritual Results accomplished by the Crusade might not be visible at present, but in future years they will become apparent in the good Catholic men and women taking Cr successful place in the world. It will be at that time that all of us will give thanks to the C.S.M.C. and the endeavors of Father Wil- hem for giving us such a wonderful start on the road of life leading to our final end, Iesus Christ.

Th With a combination of two slogans, All for One, One for All, and Service above Self, as their ideal, the members of the News staff worked with a spirit and loyalty characteristic of Chaminade students. The staff, having studied no particular course in the essentials of journalism, was able to produce a pub- lication which was superior in the use of rules and principles of journalistic writing. Moreover, the work which was neces- sary to edit the News was performed outside the regular school day. Display- ing the true Christian virtue of charity the editors and their assistants labored well into the night to make their copy perfect. Through their efforts they pre- sented to the students ten copies of the best type of newspaper in high schools. eadhnes Contemporaneous with the present, the Chaminade News is constantly directing its efforts toward incorporating the latest modifications in journalistic custom. The most conspicious improve- ments made by the News were, the new floating head, used to stress certain im- portant articles, and a large array of pictures to make the individual pages more attractive. Besides, a new course in news writing has been introduced to familiarize the future scriveners with the methods of journalism.
