attempts. Both were too proud to aC- knowledge seeming defeat. Only the light of the brilliant star broke the darkness of the hospital chapel when, on Christmas Eve, Sandra stole up to the crib. 'lDear Godf' she prayed, 'inever before have I loved anyone as I do Franz. I love him with all my heart and soul. No words can express how I feel toward him. But how can I love him when I despise him? He is a Nazi. I hate Naziism. And why shouldnyt I? Isnlt it the cause of all this destruction and misery? Oh, my Jesus, what am I going to do? bIy soul is torn between love of Franz and the dictates of my conscience. VVhat am I to do ?,' No longer could she hold back her tears. She cried as though her heart was breaking. Then it seemed that she heard a Voice in her heart say, Remember always, my child, that I created Franz. I love him with such a boundless love no human heart can know. If I can, regardless of creed or nationality, love him, cannot you ?', At these words it was as if a miracu- lous peace and calm pervaded the whole atmosphere. Her soul was pacifiedg her tears were stayed, her heart was healed with a sweet, comforting solace. Gazing lovingly on the image of her God, lying in the straw, she poured out her humble thanksgiving. Once more Christian charity held the reins of her spirit. It was only when she arose to leave the chapel that she noticed a kneeling figure beside her. I-Ier heart leaped for joy. It was Franz! How long had he been there? As she moved along the aisle, something in her heart told her he was there behind her. She had hardly gained the outside entrance when his voice caught up with her. UDO not detest me so, Sandra, I am not a Nazi-I am a German. Reasons beyond my control forced me into the Nazi army. I despise everything it stands for. The real German people do not want war. They love peace above every- thing else. They are waiting for time when a new Germany 'will arise, one in which the principles of the New Born King will reign once moref' Here he paused and for a while they enjoyed the peace and tranquillity which are the especial gifts of the Christ Child. Franz broke the silence. Sandra,', he whispered, 'lwhen the time comes that Germany is again free, will you let me take you there and make you my wife? His answer he found in the love in her eyes. So it happened that, as the- angels were chanting their Gloria in Excelsis Deon, the Christmas peace came over these two souls, as, united in the spirit of love, the spirit of the Prince of Peace, they prayed for the time when 'fthe lights go on again all over the world.

0p17ubnsi0f Tile ,Voun e f. .. Constance Durliat, hlargaret Powers and Eleanor Hernaiki like all their freshman classmates, but agree with Lo- retta Doran and Carol Kenny that the sophomores try to appear too sophisti- cated. We are glad to hear from Jacqueline Gifford that among the sen- iors there is a spirit of big-sisterly kind- ness. Niary Theresa Nlyers thought her first day at Ursuline the most bewilder- ing she had ever experienced, and Jean Sheean couldn't get over how BIG the building was. My favorite teacher the first day, said Theresa lVIartin, was Sister M. Blanchen. Jean Eiben thought the nicest room in S. U. A. was 113. I liked the library best, said Agnes Kie- fer. When asked what class she liked best that first day, Pat Palmer pl'0I11pflY answered 'fStudy periodn. 'fThat first meal in the teahouse nearly finished me, said Pat Schoen, but how I like the JAMX' HDO you like the uni- forms Pl' Rosalyn Grothjan asked Arlene Welch. I surely do! Rita Shondell and Barbara Czarnecki both think the chapel very devotional, Pat Brunner still feels lost in the BIG! BIG auditorium. Speaking of the audi- torium, Rose Marie Cassidy thinks the best program held this year was the one given by Brother Schuster. Again, speaking of the auditorium, Beverly Ja- cob says the religion in there is so much harder than that held in the home room. It comes as a surprise from Jean Hat- field and Rosemary Gouttiere that they feel overburdened with homework. We will all look twice at Virginia Beving- ton and Rose- Nlarie Daunhauer since . . . they remarked the first day that they just HATED to wear long silk stockings. It doesn't seem possible that Betty Gerken thinks f'gym is silly, and that Patricia hiattson thought Freshman Day was 'ftoo easy . Gladys Smith and Diary Catherine Flanagan are simply terrified over the coming exams, but Marie Claire Pallinger said there are other things to be terrified over, such as a Hbawling out for wearing a too short uniform or dropping things in Home Ec. department, as Nancy Na- varre did. To end this survey pleasantly and harmoniously, le-t us quote Dolores Paz- kiak and hlary Calaway, who say: f'St. Ursula's orchestra is the best in Toledo -and that ends Freshman opinions! lf? a fact... That a new type of anti-freeze made from a petroleum rather than an alcohol base and containing no essential war materials is now on the market. That cats' eyes do not shine-they merely reflect the faint light of dark places. That the proper length for a lady's skirt is about two feet above the dirt. That comparing himself to a wealthy friend, the celebrated pianist, Pader- ewski, once said: 'fHe is a dear soul who plays polo. I am a poor Pole who plays solo. That oil was discovered in the United States by the Franciscan, joseph de la Roche, in 1627. That Pope Clement XII C1730- 174OQ became blind shortly after elec- tion. That out of every seven pupils who enter high school, four drop out before completing their course. That three-fourths of our population have at least two colds a year. That the artist works like all the rest, but the thing he likes to draw the best is his salary. That music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean, sarcastic thing. THE SCROLL 19
