Deoosbor 25, 1947. As I writo this to you it is Christmas. Tho strains of Silent Night aro softly echoing through the sohool, warning overy heart with thoir beautiful message of peaoe and good will. Frost millions of radios all over tho country the same message from tho Son of God is oheering men of upright minds and eincere hearts. But what of tho millions who will not listen? What of tho aen who would wipo His mossago off tho face of the oarth with hate, deceit, lust, confusion and war? There aro suoh. That is why Stalin has devoted followers. Aro their numbers increasing in this year of 1943 as you step out into tho world? I believe they are. With eaoh passing day, thousands of young poople ore coming of ago, produots of a pagan education, without knowledge of the Author of ponce on earth, and adding to the selfishness and oonfusion. Thoy aro tho potential Communists and dostroyers of our Christian civilisation. They are also your challenge--not to out off their heads or shoot then down, for two would spring up where ono wont down—but to cut off thoir false doctrines, change their crookod ideas. Not ail at onco, oither, but one man at a tlr.o. You don’t have to go to Russia or China to got started; Just pick the’first man you moot in your bloom or your shop. Five minutes conversation on tho most innocent subjeot will serve to rovoal his pagan nind. Then go to work. That is what Pope Pius XII meant when he challenged American youth to seise the toroh of faith and oarry it full flaming. Let the Queen of Apostles show you tho way. for she is God’s o'noieo in our timos to oonquor the threatening forces of evil. Her wondrous works at Fatima prove it. Graduates of '48, that is tho underlying theme of your year- book. Grasp it manfully, tako the offensive in tho fight, and your lifo will know its full share of real suooess. r n i i poo
