PRO VICTORIA Dear God, We pray with faith in Thee To speed the day of victory, That once again our boys may toil At home upon their native soil: That all may live in peace once more Apart from fear and dread of war. With humble heart, on bended knee We ask that all men may be free: That lives be spared to mould and build The fine things which our foes have killed: That all throughout the world shall know Thy love shall stay while hate must go.

THE BALL Hit it! Hit it! resounds from the girls' gym. Once again two teams are battling tooth and nail in the inter- class VOLLEY BALL contest. After a week's practice of serves and vollies the class teams launch a campaign against each other. Each team plays every other team. This year there was one casualty-Gloria Orsen-igo broke a finger, although many other girls had stiff muscles. After a successful campaign, the Senior 2 team. under Lisheth Hansen. won the Maroon volley letters. The other teams claim the Senior 2's had more practice, but the Senior Z's say they are superior volleyball players. After the result of the contest they seem to be right. close, the closest score being 22fl7, and the other extreme. '55-0. Basketball is a game which requires the skill of shoot- ing a basket . ln this game it is generally assumed that the team with the most practice will win. That' is why the Junior-tirst team, under the leadership of Lorraine Cornely. caused such a sensation, and why the Senior-first team is blushing. In the championship games the Junior- Hrst team took top honors and the Junior-second team second place. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE e Date Oppon nts Winner lieb. Junior vs. Soph.
