Ea'1Yor1bls. . . SOVEREIGN SIMPLICITY AGNIFICENCE and ceremony herald the great fe-ast of Christmas, yet the Christ of Christmas was born in a cave in the utmost poverty and simplicity. The King of Kings wore no golden crown, nor did He rule from a jeweled throne in a fine castle, when He came into the world. But in a barren cave a Small Babe with outstretched Arms welcomed kings and shepherds alike into His court. His Baby Hand held no scepter and His eyes reflected not authority but love. This was the King of Peace Who came to earth to save all men. He had no rich, silken robes but wore the garb of the simple folk. VVe await Christ, the Infant King, this year as others awaited Him thousands of years ago. Mlatcrially our offerings are not the same as theirs. We cannot visit Him in a cave and pre-sent gifts of lambs, gold, and incense. But we have a heart to offer. We have pet attachments to creatures we can relinquish-little indulgences which keep us back from loving God more. We can renew our pledge of faith in God, our hope that heaven will be our cherished reward, and our love, so easily snuffed out in a world where temporalities obscure eternal values. There is no place for worldly sophistication in the Christmas season, as a glance at the crib will show. Our aim is to liken ourselves to Christ, yet we set about reaching this goal without that spirit of simplicity which characterized His whole life. Each Christmas the greatest love story ever told is portrayed in the simple scene of the Christmas crib. The Infant is not dressed in costly garments, He has no crown on His heady there are no fine coveringsg the out-stretched Hand does not hold a scepter. The Christ of the first Christmas has not changed. It is our earnest wish that this beautiful virtue will more and more come to reign universally in the hearts of men, so that, being Christ's, we may le-ad our lives like His-in holy simplicity. - PATRICIA WILDE ,43 WHO IS MARY BURTON? HAT is there about lVIary Burton that attracts others? We were asked this question last week and so we decided to investigate. We all like Mary, but exactly what there is about her that makes her attractive to all we could not quite determine. Because our teachers seem to know and understand everyone, we thought they would be our best bet. The first one- we approached was the Speech Arts instructor. Hesitating for a moment, she said, Did you ever notice how willing lVIary is to help with whatever is going on? She has dramatic abilityg but last year when we put on the play she was given no part. Instead of sulking, she gave her assistance any time she had a chance-prompting, helping with the props, and so forth. Whatever her assignment, she puts forth her best efforts. Thanking her, we turned to Mary's homeroom supervisor. In answer she replied, Cooperation is the keynote of lVIary's popularity. In every activity she is the first to offer her services. Every drive finds her doing her best and if ever she falls short of her quota, llIary's teachers are satisfied that she has really tried. Next we decided to ask some of her classmates. One said, If ever I need a substitute when I have charge of the room, lVIary is the first to offer to take my place. Another said, VVhenever I need help, she seems to be right there-ready, willing, and able. Need we say more, girls? These are the facts about Mary Burton. Are you she? -JEANNETTE BIHL '43 THE SCROLL 31

SACRIFICE - SERVICE - SUCCESS ACRIFICE -- Freedom of religion, freedom of speech and of the press, the right to work and play and be happy children of God-all these' are ours. We want to keep these precious rights pe-rmanently. But to do so means sacrifice. We cannot, as yet, buy bonds because we are not working, but we can do our part by buying all the defense stamps we possibly can. All of us working together will aid America to buy arms and munitions and all the other material things needed to equip our men with the means of winning the war. SERVICE - But it is also necessary to equip our boys with aids for keeping up morale. How better can we do them this service- than by gathering Catholic books, magazines, pamphlets, medals, prayer books, and rosaries and sending them to our chaplains for distribution among our Catholic servicemen. More than that, we should pray for them daily. We all have brothers, cousins, neighbors, or friends in the armed forces. If we each said' one little prayer a day for a particular soldier, sailor, or marine, we would be giving more service than we can ever know. It will help them just to know that someone is praying for them. Place your loved ones under the special protection of St. Christopher, patrons of travelers. An admirable and easy practice is the recitation of a Hail lklary each time an airplane is heard flying above. Say it for the special inte-ntion of those in the plane, but include, also, all those who are flying planes to help preserve our God-given rights. SUCCESS - Only by sacrifice and service can we hope to win success. Without full cooperation we don't deserve success. Our freedom is in peril. Our country now calls on us to help defend her. Are we heeding the call? Actions speak louder than words, and if the answer is 'fyes , we will buy more stamps to aid our military forcesg we will increase our prayers, we will spread the doctrine of brotherly love, striving first to set the example in our own lives. Finally, placing our trust in God, and having cooperated to the utmost, we have in simple addition: Sacrifice + Service : Success. -PATRICIA Fox '43 WHY A LECTURE SERIES' ATHQLIC education as such concerns the whole' man-the spiritual, the mental, and the physical. Catholic schools, besides adequately serving the needs of a practical and scientific nature, place much emphasis on cultural developments to make for a more perfect enjoyment of the Hner things of life. St. Ursula's is no exception to this rule. Each year, in conjunction with Mary Manse College, a lecture course is arranged for the purpose of bringing before the student audiences the best in the arts and sciences. Already we have had the pleasure of attending a concert given by the Sykora string trio. A very different type of entertainme-nt was presented us by the Marion- ette Theatre. Theirs was an exquisite portrayal of The Nativity . We are anxiously awaiting Dr. James A. lVIagner's talk, The South American Wayfyg Maisie Ward's The World We Are Living Inu, and The P0et's Workshop by Theodore Mayiiard. Last on the program will be a piano concert by a former student of the Academy, Virginia Kinney. We are indeed very fortunate in having these cultural privileges, and from them we know much benefit will be derived. - MARY LAWLER '43 32 THE SCROLL 1...
